The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had apprehended an array of criminal illegal aliens with prior convictions for murder, sexual assault, and drug trafficking. The announcement comes as part of the DHS's "Worst of the Worst" initiative, which aims to spotlight the criminal illegal aliens with the worst criminal records and showcase the danger presented by their presence in American communities. "Under President Trump, there will be no amnesty for illegal aliens, including in sanctuary cities which put illegal aliens over their own citizens. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, sexual predators, and drug traffickers," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. "We will continue to carry out the American people's mandate to arrest and deport illegal aliens from our nation." With Trump's second term nearly two years in, federal agencies have deported roughly one million people through convention methods, though agencies have claimed at least 2 million more through voluntary exits. Direct arrests and enforcement efforts have prioritized those with criminal records.

DANGEROUS ILLEGAL MISSING Shageldi Bashimov, an illegal alien from Turkmenistan convicted of aggravated battery, was RELEASED from an Illinois prison despite having an ICE detainer. Bashimov is now wanted by authorities. This is the Democrats' plan for the country: Free foreign criminals who terrorize Americans.
The House Oversight Committee released its final report on Jeffrey Epstein. Surprise, Trump was not involved with the guy he called the cops on.
Stop me if you heard this one before: a Democrat politician lies about his service history and claims Stolen Valor for votes.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released the final report Tuesday on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the federal government's handling of the criminal case against the late financier. The report is critical of how Democrats on the committee were "obsessed with trying to implicate President Trump and insinuate that he was involved in the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell." Despite these efforts, according to the report, the report did not find any evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's crimes. The report wraps up a 15-month investigation, which included 19 transcribed interviews and depositions with key witnesses, the release of documents from the Department of Justice and the Epstein estate, and an extensive review of financial records. ... The report provides details on how Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who us serving time in connection with recruiting young women for Epstein, had a network that facilitated the recruitment and control of young women who were abused, as well as how Epstein cultivated relationships with powerful individuals that were leveraged to establish financial and social legitimacy.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who won re-election on Nov. 3, reportedly lied about his military service, claiming he saw combat when he did not. In his 2015 book, "The Work," Moore claimed that he went through months of pre-deployment training with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but Fox Baltimore reported that it found no Army records substantiating that claim. Moore has also claimed to have led troops in combat and to be a paratrooper, but neither are accurate representations of his military service, the outlet said.
His service was good, but he was not in combat, says former supervising officer Retired Lt. Col. James A. "Jamie" Gottschling, the Army officer who supervised Moore, told Fox Baltimore that while Moore served honorably, he wasn't in combat. "Be honest," Gottschling told the outlet when asked what he would say to Moore. "His service in Afghanistan was good. He was a valued member of the brigade staff." But he added, "It's disingenuous to say that you led paratroopers in combat or that you did what would be direct action activities in a combat zone." Neither Moore nor Gottschling responded to inquiries from Just the News. Moore said in his May 2022 victory speech, after first being elected governor in Maryland, that he had "led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan," The Hill reported at the time. Gottschling was able to highlight Moore's actual daily activities in Afghanistan, which did not include combat or leading troops. The Lt. Col. told the outlet that Moore is airborne qualified, but did not train with the brigade before they deployed in 2005, nor did he conduct any training jumps. Moore arrived in Afghanistan on Aug. 15, nearly five months after the 1st Brigade of the storied 82nd Airborne Division had deployed. "He's not a paratrooper," Gottschling told the outlet. Instead, Moore said Gottschling's daily work included analyzing reports from infantry battalions and reconstruction teams, coordinating civilian assistance, and training Afghan officials how to communicate with the public, Fox Baltimore reported. "He did a really good job trying to train the Afghans how to kind of sell their own story," Gottschling said. Gottschling told the outlet that Moore was not part of the brigade's kinetic combat activities, but was involved in "information operations."

Donald Trump’s secret farewell letter to Joe Biden has finally been revealed nearly six years after he left the White House, exposing a surprisingly warm message to his bitter political rival.
The president praised Biden’s love for America and encouraged him to make history, despite publicly refusing to accept his defeat in the 2020 election.

Mike Johnson Takes Accountability and Steps Down from House Leadership; Jim Jordan Elected to Replace Him
Mike Johnson did what McConnell's protege and butt-boy John Thune refuses to do: He stepped down from leadership.
Jim Jordan was elected in his place. I'm not thrilled about that either, but at least someone demonstrated some accountability.House Republicans on Tuesday selected Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to lead Republican lawmakers in the minority in the next Congress. Members of the conference chose between him and Majority Leader Steve Scalise. The vote was 106 for Jordan and 73 for Scalise, according to Punchbowl News. House Speaker Mike Johnson decided to step down from leadership after the party's loss in the midterms.In an update: One of the world's richest communists, the pro-rape Venture Socialist Bernie Sanders, declares that Schumer must go. First thing I've agreed with him on in years.

@Overton_News And...here...we...go. This is going to be a bloodbath between the socialists and the establishment within the Democrat Party. 85-year-old socialist Bernie Sanders just publicly came out AGAINST reelecting Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic Leader in the next Congress. SANDERS: "I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years. And I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer." "But in my view, the time is now for change." "And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader."

NEW: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says he will not support Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for Senate Majority Leader. He’s joined by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) who also says shes a “no” on Schumer “right now”. Slotkin met with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) yesterday, who has expressed interest in running against Schumer. I asked her about that meeting & if she would support Van Hollen if he ran. She said it was a “productive…great meeting”, but she needs to see a plan and evaluate further.

🚨 NOW: Chuck Schumer just RAGED and demanded a trial for SecWar Pete Hegseth in the Senate, and REMOVAL from office
NOT HAPPENING! "America needs a serious Secretary of Defense, not a WANNABE WARLORD! Republicans need to listen to the American people. End this war. Put Pete Hegseth on trial before the Senate!" "It's time for Republicans to decide where their loyalty lies. With Trump, or with the country they swore an oath to protect!" "GET HIM OUT!" 🤡 Pete, Trump, Vance and a flurry of Republicans have made CLEAR this sham impeachment is not going to have any actual effect. Our SecWar is for warfighters and they can't STAND IT— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 10, 2026
House Speaker Mike Johnson NUKES pathetic RINO Rep. Thomas Massie (KY): “Thomas Massie is a disgruntled congressman, and the impeachment effort is a political gambit for attention.”
“I think Secretary Hegseth did an extraordinary job. I watched most of the press conference. I thought he did very well. I expect that we’re going to defeat that one way or the other, and we’ll get on with the business.” “The idea that you would impeach the Secretary of War at a time of international conflict sends a terrible message to our enemies and our allies, and we are not going to play that game. You don’t impeach a Cabinet secretary lightly. They had no due process. There’s nothing that went into this. This is just purely for people to get attention, and it’s shameful.” He’s right! https://t.co/5Heus2I0oV— RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) November 10, 2026

The reality is, we had a bare majority and the usual RINOs in the Senate killed everything.
Even if the SAVE act had passed, same exact result. And the BBB was a lot of bills into one.
Im just curious, what specific law should have been passed that would have changed things?
Voters dumped way more than just Congress, governorships and state legislatures also.

I think this is how it used to work. DSA are in da house, now.
I'm not sure this is going to end the way Dems are used to. I think a hostile takeover is more than possible.
But the international cash dams are now busted open. I think it's also possible that some of these Dem Oldies will insist on 10 times their usual bribe money, stocks in whatever companies and industries get chosen as the next money laundering scams, prominent positions on boards of those companies for their children and grandchildren, book deals, tv shows... all the ways these folks have been getting paid off in plain sight, and nobody realized it. They're old, and getting tired. It's hard to give up power, but lots of money and a few subtle threats on your life can be very persuasive.
I expect many RINOs will be there collecting, too. Or trying to. They might not be needed anymore, so they may not be getting the payouts they were hoping for. I wish I could be there to see it.

They're just cycling back into the mid 2000s, when just before Obamacare they were saying "We can't wait for the dinosaurs to die off". And they were pondering do they really need to wait of the "dinosaurs to die off?"

The issue is early voting. It should be a laser focus to get Republicans voting early. That is goal number 1 above anything else. This is where the Dems kicked out asses. In Texas the election was over before Election Day happened. Get early votes on par with Dems and we’ve solved 3/4 of the problem.

He will be until he isn't. He is too old to keep his position by way of the muslims deciding they don't need the Dems any more, probably, but I am also sure the DSA takeover will happen before that anyways at least on the national level. Michigan, who knows.
The old 1968 zombies in the Dem party are on their way out, being supplanted just as they kicked out those before them. The question is whether the cheating apparatus and funding will remain in their control. I think it will.
Over in muslim-land, they likely know they aren't going to pull off a sweep as quick as they did in europe, so they just have to keep the pressure up and be the squeakiest wheel aomthe proga keep pandering to them until later demographics finishes the issue. Parts of NA are lost to them until they are literally kicked out. You will find no examples - none, not one - of muslim populations being compatible long term with what we consider civilization.

You can't run on not starting new wars and then start (and fail to finish - nobody gave a shit about Maduro getting snatched) new wars and expect voters to turn out for you.
Trump's idealism that spurred him to run in the first place works against him here. Middle red america largely doesn't give a shit about blue shitholes getting a nuke or two, and the millenials and younger that got the shit end of the GWOT want nothing to do with the middle east and aren't keen on anything they perceive as sticking our neck out for Isreal.
This outcome was so predictable that I have to assume large parts of the pentagon enabled it on purpose.

After Ace of Spades' refusal to step down from his position following the historic shellacking in the midterms, Thomas Massie led calls for Ace to be impeached by a coalition of Islamocommunist Democrats and Tuq'r Qatarlson Republicans and to face trial in the Senate.
Only eight GOP Senators called for a delay in the trial as John Thune rushed to push a vote.
However, before he could be detained by US Marshalls, Ace was extracted by a phase two Delta Force assault team led by Stephen Miller and he is expected to resume his activities from a server farm located on an Israeli submarine.

Hey @grok, how many pieces of legislation that Thomas Massie has sponsored have been signed into law during his 14 years in Congress?

Grok @grok
Zero. Over his 14 years in Congress, trackers including PolitiTrack, LegiList, and http://Congress.gov show Massie as primary sponsor of roughly 98–126 bills and resolutions, none of which became law. He has cosponsored measures that did (such as the Epstein Files Transparency Act) and seen some of his ideas incorporated into larger packages.

The silver lining in the disaster of last week was the California rejection of a billionaire tax. As retarded as they are in the state they’re not quite THAT retarded. So this tells me there isn’t as much appetite for mass tax increases nationally as we fear.
Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at November 10, 2026 06:07 PM (GW+4b)
I'm just waiting with a case of popcorn for when the CA Supreme Court rules that rejecting a billionaire tax is unconstitutional, and the commie cocksucker CA billionaires start caterwauling about how much it costs for a tuneup on their Bentley.
If the CA GOP had any hair on their balls, they'd introduce 180% taxes on private jet ownership AND rentals. Not to mention, mandating that private jet passengers at CA airports have to go through public airport gates, complete with TSA screening by some 83 IQ Somali immigrant in a blue uniform.

A lot of transplants around here may have helped the Dems but that ~%30 black voting bloc helps.

Jennifer Welch Bitches That She's Being "Cancelled" Just For Encouraging Assassinations and Murder
Whoops. I thought I posted this an hour ago.
Before that: Glenn Reynolds thinks about the Democrats' Assassination Culture.Welch, who calls for speakers she disapproves of to be M U R D E R E D, is whining that she's being "cancelled" for dancing right up to the edge of a serious crime. Thirty of her sponsors have announced they will no longer associate with this bloodthirsty botox-drunk witch
Dave Chappelle joins the pack of lefty haters with a fetish for political violence
It's been heartwarming to see, once these contentious midterm elections were past us, how the Democrats rolled up their sleeves and got right to work on delivering the things they'd promised: affordability, equal opportunity and world peace. Haha, just kidding. Instead they immediately started seeking revenge. ... For all their "Love Trumps Hate" sloganeering, what we've seen from leftists lately is pretty much all hate, aimed at anyone who counters their agenda -- not just Trump, but his supporters, staff and donors. Comedian Dave Chapelle's ghoulish remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk are typical. ... Kirk paid the ultimate price for expressing conservative principles, and Chappelle is willing to approve that publicly -- to his audience's glee. Meanwhile, NYU professor Scott Galloway last week damned Trump ally Elon Musk as a "traitor to the West" and called for his public execution, a la Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. If we're going to start executing traitors to the West, I've got a little list. . . But Musk isn't on it, and Galloway might not like who is. ... Sarah Palin was accused of murder for putting out a list of "targeted" congressional districts; Jeffries' comment is at least as much of a threat. If I had to guess, the Venn diagram of people who would cheer if Trump were assassinated, and those whose lawns bear "Hate Has No Home Here" signs, is pretty close to a circle. All this is unspeakably dangerous, of course. You can't have a democracy without civil society, and you can't have a civil society in which one large chunk of it is salivating at the prospect of murdering the other. But that's what we see today, with much of "mainstream" culture egging it on. And it's not just that this language is ugly and divisive: Democrats are actively promoting violence with this heated rhetoric. They are creating -- deliberately, I think -- a climate in which unstable people are encouraged to commit acts of violence against their political enemies, without leaving obvious fingerprints. On Friday, when an armed-to-the-teeth Venezuelan migrant was arrested near the White House saying he'd been "hearing voices telling him to kill President Trump," my first thought was: "Were those voices on MS-NOW, Bluesky, or on Jennifer Welch's podcast?"

@WesternLensman Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show. "Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing." Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them. They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show. Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free. At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast. It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic. But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.
A frantic Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan have a profanity laced meltdown as all their sponsors drop them, admit their ‘apology’ was only meant for themselves.
The hags mentioned how they support “universal human rights” which was apparently used as justification for why they are allowed to curse people and glorify violence. Glad they cleared up that the apology was completely fake.— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 8, 2026
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan plead with their supporters for financial support after more than 20 sponsors dropped them.
"If you want to sponsor us financially, you can become a member on YouTube... also go buy my book." The women had a nearly 30-minute meltdown over Turning Point following backlash after the two hags giggled profusely at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk and "doing it" again to him.— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 9, 2026

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Tyrus delivers a POWERFUL response to leftist podcasters laughing at Charlie Kirk ‘joke’:
“One of the greatest compliments to your life’s work is that your enemies are still fighting you after you’re gone… Every time they do that, they’ve just inspired another person to go, ‘Who was that man?’” He adds: “His memory will go on even further by the ones that he made uncomfortable still squirming over him. So his family should take that with a grain of sugar instead of salt,” adds @PlanetTyrus— TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) November 10, 2026

Even if this is somehow related to Hinchcliffe--and I deplore Kill Tony, in general--it's not like he's some spokesperson for the right.
I think, if it is related, it's because Hinchcliffe was white . And this would be another contextless example of "I bet the reaction would be different if the person was white!"
It is unintentionally more ironic that Floyd committed crimes and the white example target didn't.
Additionally, an intensifier to that point, Chappelle fails to understand the difference, because he can't see the difference between law-breaker and not law-breaker over the perception of "racism".

Jennifer's crime was revealing how critical the Powers That Be saw Charlie Kirk's ministry on college campus as a threat to their color revolution.
It was the talk of Leftist circles that Charlie Kirk needed to be eliminated because he was too effective. It was so important that it is burned into her stupid smooth brain and the complete lack of any filter on the circuit between the dysfunctional amygdala and her mouth let it blurt out.

Comedian Dave Chapelle's ghoulish remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk are typical.
And we can also never forget the "NoH8" campaign back in the late 2000s a Democrat op featuring such dignitaries as Cindy and Meghan McCain.
I guess the only thing you are allowed to hate is straight white men and Republicans, and occasionally Karens or white women in general.
Everything else from totalitarian ideologies & religions, to sexual acts & identities that repulse the majority of people, are off limits to any feelings of ill-will whatsoever.

That was enough. People stopped going to their concerts and buying their stuff.
That's enough. That's your money. You can choose to do what you want with it.
I would say to anybody I knew that felt they could go on with Chappelle: If you knew your Locke, and fundamental theory by which the West developed the concept of every right you want to claim, you would know that a right to continue living is the *basis* of every right you want to claim.
Plus, you'd know that Locke leveraged that to the extent that it was received into the conversation off the prohibition in the Bible to dispose of yourself.
I person giving aid to a faction that want's to end people for what they say is post-civil-contract. They can't possibly demand to claw back into that system and ask for "rights" when they don't recognize the basis of them--the social convention by which they were accepted and established.

I am amazed that even in the Trump cases he has taken a hands off approach and let the DOJ handle them incompetently as regular criminal cases.
They didn't role up the networks that gave them material assistance.
And I guarantee you this, if we have a Dem president in 2028 and some rightwing guy takes a shot at zer, all of us will be having a discussion with the feds. And they will put you in jail for anything you say that they can irrespective of if it has anything to do with this theoritical shooter

1. Make controversial and inconsiderate observation.

3. Lose something you value as a result
4. Immediately claim victimhood.

Usually it will work for them.
Not in Reagan's case because the economy was too good, and America felt like it was on the rise again after the Carter years.
Bush I got swallowed up by his own aloofness, an economy that hit a brief recession due to gas prices going up after Iraq invaded Kuwait. He never regained his footing and the Dems, with help from their pre-internet media allies, made it seem like we were in the Great Depression II.
Bush II got a free pass for almost four years because of 9/11.
The Dems caused as much chaos and consternation as they could but the American People were too patriotic still to let it get to them. W. failed by the end when the 2008 Financial Crisis hit, and he had given up and the country was worn down by years of war, and the people were tired of him, too.
Trump has never had a moment of peace from the day he took the oath. It's been an all out frontal assault ever since.
Trump has made his share of mistakes, but the Dem&Media combination is still a powerful force at creating chaos.
How we counter that is beyond my pay grade at this point.

I have seen people alking about Panama as en excellent place to retire to, as they have a program similar to El Salvador's with visas for people bringing in a guaranteed pension or enough assets/income to qualify, which isn't much.
The Panamanians use the U.S. dollar so banking is easier, a lot speak English, and the political situation has been a lot more stable than El Salvador for decades.

She's getting a little older since I first saw her years ago and she's still a gorgeous girl.
How the Brits could find this girl a threat is beyond me.
She speaks of nothing the British right don't.
Her main issue is Remigration.
As if over half the UK population doesn't agree with her and keep telling their politicians that.

I use to scoff at the notion that many of our politicians are picked out at a young age and groomed for the job.. Given fake, make work to pad a resume as they remain a professional politician all their lives, running for this office or that. And then retiring to do some lobby gig or on the board of some fortune 500 company to peddle influence. Yeah, crazy talk..
Now? I'm not so sure.
Posted by: Blanco at November 10, 2026 05:19 PM (sW/8y)
That's been going on for a LONG time. Not just in the Partys either. A good example is that yootoob former CIA fuckstick John Kiriakou, who started off in Gov HR after grad school and was immediately groomed and recruited to be a cubicle squirrel at Langley, not to mention a lot of time as a legislative aide to various Donkey commie cocksuckers.
Funny thing is, EVERY Donkey politician he latched onto for career advancement fucked him over, especially John Kerry, Obama and Bill Richardson. Frau Gruppencankles treated him like a janitor when he was an intel officer in Greece, which I found to be hilarious. I rather suspect that he was the wrong color for advancement, being Greek rather than WASPy white or black.

Only Eight GOP Senators Have Called for a Delay In Senate Leadership Elections as John Thune Rushes to Push a Re-Election Vote;
Charles Schumer Might Be Purged by the Islamocommunists He Supported
John Thune and his cronies want to rush the election of the next Senate leaders and hold a vote today.
Eight GOP senators have called for a delay to figure out if they need "new faces," given the big loss. But it takes a majority of GOP senators to vote for a delay. Senator Ron Johnson says if they hold the vote today, he'll walk out.Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pledged to walk out of the room if his Republican colleagues proceed with leadership elections on Tuesday, after calling a conference to discuss the party's direction following significant losses for the GOP in the midterm elections. "If you hold the election, I'll leave the room," he told the Washington Examiner in a Monday interview. "I'm not going to participate in elections for leadership tomorrow." To delay internal elections, which are cast by secret ballot, Johnson will need support from a majority of the Senate GOP conference. The Wisconsin Republican has been floated as a potential replacement for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) for when Democrats take control of the Senate in January, as some conservatives air frustration with Thune's leadership. Johnson, who has denied his interest in leadership in the past, again shot down the prospect on Monday, but he did not definitively rule it out. ... The senator added that his request for a conference meeting was not a "hostile act" and was only intended to give the GOP the time to assess whether they wanted a change in leadership. "We all like John Thune. We like him, OK?" Johnson said. "I don't want to say anything bad about him, but again, at some point in time, our supporters absolutely believe we have to hold people accountable, and probably are looking for a new face, or new faces."GOP senators met today and did not agree on either holding or delaying the election.
Did they? The Washington Times writes that Chuck Schumer might lose his own post as Democrat leader as the Islamocommunists want a more radical -- and, let me add, less Jewish -- leader.
Senate Republicans met Tuesday to discuss their future and were expected to reconvene in the afternoon as they decide whether to keep South Dakota Sen. John Thune as their leader. The meetings come just a week after steep losses in the midterm elections that cost them their majority. Thune is expected to be reelected in the secret ballot election, given that he remains popular with his GOP colleagues and is so far running unopposed. But senators left the closed-door meeting after two hours of discussions with no resolution on a way forward after an election wipeout that cost them at least seven Senate seats. "We want to be thoughtful and do the right thing," said West Virginia Sen. Jim Justice as the meeting broke up. He said no obvious alternative had emerged, but "there is a legitimate argument that, good gracious, if we lost as badly as we lost, why would we continue on with the same leadership?" At the same time, the current GOP leadership "didn't cause this problem to happen," Justice said. "They do a good job."
In a way, it is poetic justice. The newly elected hard-left Democrats whom Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York nurtured and fed now want his blood. Several of the Democrats elected this year to the Senate, such as Troy Jackson of Maine, Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, Adam Hamilton of Kansas and James Talarico of Texas, have announced that they will not support Mr. Schumer for majority leader when the new Congress convenes next year. Veteran Democrats -- such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Christopher Murphy of Connecticut and Tina Smith of Minnesota -- have voiced frustration with Mr. Schumer's candidate recruitment and leadership in legislative battles. Once the militants won their primaries, Mr. Schumer did everything he could to support them, including providing significant funding through his Senate Majority PAC. Mr. Schumer's PAC gave $30 million to Mr. El-Sayed, despite the Michigander's hatred of Israel. Mr. El-Sayed will not even say whether he believes Israel has a right to exist, while the Palestinian cause is dear to his heart. That did not seem to present a problem for Mr. Schumer, who is Jewish. When a Muslim terrorist attacked a synagogue that housed a kindergarten, preschool and daycare in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on March 12, while condemning the attack, Mr. El-Sayed said, "Hurt people hurt people." This would seem to rationalize the attack on children by a man whose brother Ibrahim, identified by Israel as a Hezbollah commander, was killed in Lebanon. ... Though a liberal, Mr. Schumer is not liberal enough for members of the Democratic Senate class of 2026. They want a minority leader in their own image -- not one who is merely skeptical of Israeli policies, but one who is rabidly anti-Israel; not one who seeks to reform the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, but one who wishes to "rip it apart," in the words of Sen.-elect Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota. ... Even if Mr. Schumer somehow survives the purge, he will be constantly looking over his shoulder to see how close the wolves are and what he needs to do to appease them next.

Cornyn would still have been the nominee from TX if he did as Paxton asked and supported the SAVE Act. Cornyn refused to do so. Thune kept the Senate in session every day of Trump 2.0 just so they didn't have to deal with a Trump recess appointment. Thune owed his very position as Majority Leader to Trump, who delivered big victories for the House and Senate, yet only two days after ED 2024 he said that he wasn't beholden to Trump and would exercise his independence from him whenever possible - even though Trump was very clear on what his mandate from the people was.
If he remains well-liked among his Senate colleagues, clearly enough of the GOPe hasn't been swept from that chamber. I'm not sure I trust any of them, TBH. A doorknob would do a better job as Leader. If nobody's stepping up, that means they all like the job that Thune's doing. It just so happens that's not the job the base is hiring them to do.

HC kind of began as a moby here back in the Obamacare debate. You know, regular conservative but considering supporting the Bolsheviks because he couldn't afford health insurance for his family.
One of the Morons, (Dave in Texas?), that was an independent insurance agent went to the trouble, at no charge, of finding affordable private insurance for the turd. Only then did xhe reveal that it was all a put on, and that xhe was just a regular leftist liar.

and Senate GOP leadership. Senator Scott is telling GOP leadership they need to stay in town to pass the President’s agenda and approve his nominations before January
One third to one half of their days as senator are vacation days. Over 100 days. That Thune will be a cowered and run away, instead of fighting the noble fight, is beyond repellant. You failed, dude, step down. Let someone with actual balls run things.
To be fair, the founding fathers set it up that way, but that's because they were men of actual integrity. They saw being in congress as a sacred duty to building a new nation, a sacrifice, and then during their leave time went back to doing their ACTUAL jobs, being a farmer or lawyer or merchant or whatever.
If they saw this sack of lazy pustules, that take outrageous salaries for zero work, and feel entitled to the job for life, they would throw them into the Boston harbor instead of the tea. And be like, what was it all for? We sacrificed our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for THUNE?? I don't think so!

Muslim educator allowed to return to NY school after being charged with murdering female jogger
"A maniac ex-cop was arrested Saturday in the brutal murder of a young woman jogging along a Brooklyn footpath last week — and he claimed he woke up covered in blood with no memory of the heartless stabbing, police sources told The Post.
Sayed Mohassib, 27 — who currently works as an elementary school educator in Brooklyn despite being discharged from the Marines for psychological reasons — was charged with second-degree murder in the Oct. 30 slaying of Katie Suarez, police sources said.
. . . .
"Mohassib told cops during his grilling at the 62nd Precinct stationhouse Saturday that he woke up from a blackout covered in blood and with the murder weapon.
"He said he ditched the knife in the garbage, and cops believe the trash was taken to a Staten Island landfill before ending up at a New Jersey dump."

Even if he didn't have the votes, he should have had a vote on it so we knew he was at least trying, and who the people responsible for torpedoing it were.

Yeah, from what I've seen Mike Johnson actually did his damn job. The Senate is where everything went to die.
Concur. Still, he had the integrity to step down after the loss, which Thune, of course, does not.
Thune has to go no matter if he deserves it or not (he does) or what the alternative is.
It's untenable for leadership to remain after such a failure.
Again, concur. When a leader leads over a cliff this way, he needs to go. Preferably by seppuku.

The Filibuster is a rule... not a law. It was changed from a speaking filibuster, to silent, in the 1976.
The Dems WILL nuke the filibuster as soon as they get into the majority... so Thune's reverence for a simple rule, that is NOT codified in the Constitution or Law, will now result in an unimpeded two party rule of the Legislature, by democrats.

1. He refused a normal recess of the Senate.
2. He's covering for representatives that might not be representing red states to the satisfaction of those constituents.
Both those are bullshit. Both those are good indicators of his obstruction and uselessness going forward.

You wrote "gender". You mean "syndrome".
Gender, if they are anything close to what the theorists present, are long-term recognitions by society.
You can't just make up genders and say they are equal to categories society has found useful to categorize.
That's the ideology vs. practice part kicking in.

intentionally lied about Romney being a tax cheat to help win an election, and when it’s proven to be a bald-faced lie his response is:
“It worked, didn’t it.”
And that is hailed as simply a brilliant election ploy by his comrades.

Overall, they didn't get the point. But, specifically: No, it would not be okay to start just messing with social conventions based on the way I wanted them to work.
Again, she didn't get the point. She just knew she didn't want my version of a "social convention" that she had admitted was all that make up anything she wants to point out about society.
Logic, too, was an agreed "social convention", btw.
Ultimately, it's I'm going to throw a tantrum until things work the way I want.

The more time you spend in back-and-forth, the more you can recognize the pattern of their "thinking".
It became obvious to me that "Social convention/not real so we can update it" suggested that "social convention" was a "social convention".
Had I not been involved in the discussion, I probably would have missed that killer corner.
"It's just POLITE!"
"Isn't etiquette defined by 'social conventions'--or even a 'social convention' in and of itself?"
Everything they want to link it to--denying transcendence of anything--is a "social convention".
Which in one sense that they use the word "not real" and up to change.

None of which the "we can add genders because social conventions are not real" people can establish.
Who created the "modifiable social convention" convention? Is that convention equally modifiable? Can it simply run on preference? A vote?
Tradition is actually an information system.
Novel innovations on social conventions will never equal the instrumentality--or just the know-what-the-fuck-you're-talking-about-ism--of long-developed convention.
The magic of "Social convention" is a non-starter. It's a red herring, when you don't actually engage in what a social convention actually is.
After all, if you are successful, and add 100+ genders to the "social convention of gender", how is that made any more real than were it was to begin with?
It's practice ignorance.

It is one thing to be dealing with crazy in your personal life. Then to witness the crazy in DC, welp. It is a good thing I am totally normal as I laugh my way to the asylum.

You would think she would show a little appreciation for the effort Trump made to overthrow the hated regime her parents fled. Why doesn't she go over there and join the opposition and do the job herself.
Oh yeah that would be dangerous. Much better to attack the people doing the job she should be doing.

I guess Schumer just got the highlights and didn't listen to Hegseth's full speech. There are no chargeable offenses to get Hegseth removed. Then again, there weren't any offenses to try to get Trump impeached either .

The Dems and the GOPe think Trump will be the last if his kind. That once he’s gone it’ll be back to Dem wins and GOP acting like they care.
What the left doesn’t realize is that if they keep it up, they are eventually going to get somebody less like Trump and more like Bukkele.
And to see the judges brought in line in America as his first duty is going to be a glorious day indeed.

I think the last count had Scott shelling out over $100 Million of that money in the primary to get Cornym re-elected in the primary. Then providing Paxton funds late in the Mid-terms while claiming to be assisting "in other ways." That sort of public display sends the wrong message to mid-term voters.

That would be a big No Way on Tim Scott from me. He could have saved Trump 1.0 a lot of trouble if only he weighed in on that Charlottesville smear on Trump early on, rather than standing by like Saul holding the cloaks while Stephen was getting stoned. Trump spent a lot of his capital promoting Scott's crime bill, and Timmy never repaid Trump for the favor.
Like I said, no way.

Tim is a SC GOP Republican, I expect a lot of Strom and Lindsey out of him.
But he was never as annoying as Graham.
He stuck his finger to the wind many times on Trump, and Trump has not received him the same way as he did back in 2017.

But atheists themselves suggest that Marxist can be "religious". Thus whether or not there is a common "faith" among atheists is independent of whether or not atheism itself comprises a faith.
In case people aren't familiar with quantified analysis. That means that atheism may be neither a sufficient or necessary condition for faith, but it may still contribute to the Rationalist faith.
Marxism is simply subsumed under a Rationalist faith. Absent the "superstition" of traditional religion, we can figure out the pattern of history, so as to get from history more of what we want and less of what we have disapproved of.
Historical progression can be made into it's own Science.
No wonder that people adopting the Rational Faith--or what Robespierre entitled "Cult(Fr. culture) of Reason"--counterfeit a "Scientific worldview", which simply leaves out the key to Science.
Not "Nature" but parsimony. "Nature" is a cipher, the set of things that occur in Nature change.
But Science is a methodology and parsimony is a practice.
"Science" is unfit as a "worldview". It is a discipline.

It's taken me decades to synthesize this, so the expectation that the average theist observing this widespread aspiration among atheists would get the technical definition right in order to be considered, is just a widening of the blind spot atheists do not believe they have.
And not because they have it or don't have it--because they don't believe they have it.
So, like everything the burden shifts to YOU. And if you ignore the de facto stance that atheism is not specifically a religion, than characterizing any common trend among atheists as "religion" just goes to show how reactive you are.
And they don't have to consider any feedback, because you're not perfect in the point, and did not surmount the burden they always upon another.

Obama-Connected Democrat Operative Van Jones Smiles as He Admits the "Affordability" Op Was, In Pure Obama Fashion, an Organized Astroturf Campaign
Running an astroturf operation? With Concerned Christian Conservatives fretting about whatever the Democrats' Fake Issue of the Day is? Where have I heard this before?Jones admitted that the economy really isn't as bad as portrayed, and that the Democrats knew this (surprise!), but rather than simply program their candidates and campaigns with duplicitous messaging, they took it several steps further. And the Republicans never figured it out. Jones told Collins how the Democrats discreetly organized tens of thousands of people to serve as chartered trolls as part of the "American Accountability Network." Jones did not make clear whether these people were compensated or not.I'm pretty sure they were.
"The Republicans never figured out what we were doing," Jones said in-studio to a smiling Collins. "There's something called the American Accountability Network (AAN), tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online. 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day. 88.8 million hit on Twitter, X, every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day. And they never figured it out." "The Republicans could not understand it wasn't bots. It was actual human beings," he said.They are bots. Human-shaped bots. Tim O'Brien adds:
He added that Democrats were having trouble getting any "traction" on culture war issues, but thanks to the AAN, the left "figured out how to get around all that."Witch-faced shill Kaitlin Collins had no negative commentary on an admitted massive disinformation campaign, but instead was "fascinated."
Collins found all of this "fascinating." Of course, it's fascinating when Democrats do it, but if Republicans did it, it would be criminal to Collins and her ilk.Video at the link.

Hegseth decries "putting people with ideological agendas in charge of institutions"
---
Are people getting so stupid that they do not know what an "ideology" is?
An "ideology" is "Hey! I have a Great Idea which should overwrite everything other people were taking to have worked reasonably well in the past!"
It very seldom pays off over a reasonably tuned practice of that office.
"Hey! Maybe the Department of War ought to be more focused on readiness" is the ANTITHESIS of ideology.
It's fucking Common Sense (however common that is.)

2) They are in fact more affordable! My no show NGO job pays enough so that my life partner and I can buy anything we wants!
3) Of course cities are unaffordable unlike the burbs...because of Trump/capitalism/Republicans/rich people (which I guess aren't in the burbs/rural areas?)
4) Of course cities are unaffordable because taxes aren't high enough
And yes as per usual the people with these largely oppositional theories all agreed with each other.

Guess what else they did with millions of people they recruited this past election? Voted.
Sure, some people voted on issues just as always. Trump voters turned out, the numbers prove it. Democrats spent a year recruiting new voters, the numbers show that as well. And that was the wave.
Too many people are still obsessing over whether it was Iran or the price of eggs or super mean ICE. It was NGOs spending a billion dollars to find new voters under very lax registration rules.

Most likely in India, at that.
If the WH is dumb enough to try and run with amnesty, I think I am just legit done with the party entirely. Even the muddled stuff coming out is risking mass defections. If this is some Dem op they need to get on top of it.
Everyone knows there is no such thing as "yeah we will close the border but do amnesty". Bullshit. Keep kicking them out or go down swinging in the attempt, because we can't take 15, 20, 25 million more and possibly can't even keep it together with what Biden let in.
Every fucking week it is one more family killed by an illegal driver, one more illegal shooting people, one more illegal kidnapping and raping girls. Enough is enough. We are in one of the least "diverse" places in the US and still can't escape it.

I thought Trump might be able to deal with it in the public square as he has beaten them back before. Unfortunately whatever operation I saw and detailed repeatedly here, has landed on us quicker and perhaps even more thoroughly than I had feared. I thought it was battlespace prep for 2028 and in a way, it was.
All I'm saying is what I've been saying but maybe a little more urgently. Things are about to get WEIRD. Whatever you think you know about our politics and our system and likely our culture is gonna get turned on its head, probably not in a way you have ever experienced.

It was probably just bad timing and optics at the time, to have the lightbringer, if-they-go-low-we-go-high aura have someone in his inner circle hurling insults.
The scary thing about Jones is he can be reasonable and rational. He's a true believer, but he is willing to call halt on the dem crazy train when it's going too fast over the cliff. He CAN read the room, when forced to.

Everything is an op.
It's always this way.
They'll tell you Elon Musk is the Electric Jesus when it suits them, and that he's the White Satan when it suits them.
They'll tell you Donald Trump is a glamorous popular celebrity when he's donating to the Clintons, and that he's a racist old stumblebum when he runs against them.
They'll tell you Afghanistan is the good war when Obama's pulling out of Iraq, and it's a bad one when Biden is done with it next.
They'll tell you Joe Rogan is a smart truth-teller when he's going off about aliens and endorsing Bernie Sanders, but he's a dumb fuckin' meathead when he's going off about COVID and endorsing Donald Trump.
It's the same shit every day, and it depends on all of us believing the Current Year narrative.

The Pubs--and I could have warned you about this a while ago--want to go back to being the party that talks about "conservative values".
Because that was an easier lift. Before Trump did much moderating, when he was fresh in the race, he mentioned that he chose Republican as his party because his research suggested that we were the most underserved.

It was a very effectively run machine in 2026. And since the GOP is still stuck in gracious loser mode and any discussion of fraud is met with horror, 2028 is going to give a supermajority and the WH to the commies. Yet we will be told to just vote harder next time against a 30 million vote handicap and an invoked national popular vote compact majority.

We learned it from watching you. The democrats mirrored the troll strategy Trump innovated , and they did it without targeting an out group like a race of gender.
LIE about affordability? How much is a tank of gas in St Petersburg, Boris? Trump started a fucking war with Iran that skyrocketed gas and diesel and slapped tariffs on everything coming into the country, and THAT made prices rise.

Then they were provided an acceptable outlet for their unease: complaining about affordability. Why is Trump spending "our" money abroad, instead of helping poor Americans at home?
It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, which has no logical explanation (for the indoctrinated and for the victims of propaganda; otherwise it's pretty easy).
The discomfort caused by this idea cannot be mentioned in polite company, but affordability can be used as a byword for it.
Even if people feel guilty about this line of reasoning, the shame actually helps with the persuasion.
Leftists are doing a sort of mind rape and the victims are mostly too ashamed to admit it. Thus, they persuade themselves that it must be love.

I pointed out taxes can't be inflationary be definition and pointed out a new tax on bread, for example, would raise the cost of bread but no one would call that inflation and it agreed but then argued tariffs were different then other taxes for...reasons.
So then I asked did inflation go up or down when Trump put in his tariffs. Down. So what does that do to your argument? Uh, well, uh...but tariffs are the only tax that is inflationary.

The Dems were the ones who created the correction after Enron to tighten Mark-2-Market which for accounting "responsibility" purposes denies the chief value of investment: unrealized gain or loss.
Enron created a problem, so they hit it with a sledge hammer which contributed greatly to the 2007 collapse. Especially after the NGOs stopped acting like a charity and buying up all the bad housing debt.

All the videos of people on their latest I Phone in their new car clearly well fed with salon hair and painted nails whining that they cannot afford to east or pay rent were so bizarre: clearly none of that is true.
But the truth is, American people do not have the patience or willingness to fight that we used to. When Reagan reached his midterms, the economy still sucked, hard. In places like Oregon the unemployment and inflation rates were OVER 20%. But people were willing to give Reagan a shot and by 1984, he'd turned everything around.

Again, even Warren--who I believe KNOWS better--has said that they should create legislation which controls the government-imposed costs that the company cannot pass to the consumer.
This is the equivalent of "rent control".

1 bean burrito + 1 soft taco = $7.04
I just went to Taco Bell and handed the teenage girl behind the counter a $50 bill. She took the money, laid it on the counter, and used a marker to check if it was real or fake. Then she told me, “Mister, I can’t accept this money; it’s counterfeit! See the dark line? That means it’s fake!”
I was shocked and said, “Wow, this money came straight from the bank!” She handed it back, and I gave her another $50 bill.
She marked it, looked at it, and said, “Yep, this one’s fake too. We might have to call the cops.”
I was like, “WOW! Both of my $50 bills are fake?” At this point, I looked closer. “Lady, you're using a Sharpie?”
She took a long look at the marker and said, “Yes, that's all I have.”
I feel like our society is doomed...

Utility prices/electric bills were noticeably high.

Health insurance/car insurance/housing and rental insurances were notiecably high.
All of this is true and has been true for 6 Years.

It would be much better if CC rates were dependent on your individual credit score, like most other interest rates are.
But all CC rates are very high, even if you are at very low risk of not making the payment. Why? Because of all the deadbeats. The "good" cardholders are subsidizing the deadbeats.
My solution? I pay in full every month. I use the card for convenience and airline miles.

Headline Decline: From the year prior through September 2026, real average hourly earnings decreased by 0.7%, with real weekly earnings also slipping into negative territory.
Primary Driver: The decline was caused by headline inflation (3.7%) outpacing nominal wage growth (3.0–3.6%), largely due to a 34.2% surge in gasoline prices and a 20.4% rise in energy costs.
Core Inflation Exception: When excluding volatile food and energy prices, core inflation remained at approximately 2.6%, meaning wages actually grew faster than core prices during this period.
Historical Context: This marks the first time since April 2023 that inflation has consistently outpaced wage growth, erasing the real wage gains accumulated earlier in the year and reversing the positive trends seen in 2024 and early 2025. You may now continue.

Limiting or avoiding alcohol and drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can decrease blood flow to the penis and interfere with messengers in the brain during arousal. Over time, alcohol consumption can reduce testosterone levels also.
Not smoking or using tobacco products.
Smoking can cause plaque to build up in arteries throughout the body. This can cause poor blood supply to the penis.
Controlling your blood sugar level if you have diabetes.
Elevated blood sugar levels cause nerve and blood vessel damage, which significantly affects the ability to achieve an erection.
Seeking help to cope with anxiety or depression.
Erectile dysfunction can result from depression, stress, anxiety or fatigue, so managing these conditions may reduce your erectile disfunction symptoms.

Nah, I chalk it up to the shift from Sense -> Sympathy.
This is a widespread migration. This is why you can't even say that Clancy is guilty of killing her children, because what if she was suffering and couldn't help it?
Not that the case is reasonable, but you have to consider emotional doubts as well.
Feminine "Sympathy" is killing reason-based law.
Everywhere.
Not that Male-administered law has always been an exercise in reason. Far from it. The Good-ol-boy network of the South definitely testifies to corruption of it.
But that was some form of pragmatics eclipsing the the impartial application of law.
It was not a replacement theory of "a reasonable doubt". Even as a syndrome, it was a corruption of an individual system. It was a crime committed under the guise of the basis of law.

Anti-American Operative Thomas Massie Demands Impeachment of Pete Hegseth; Pete Hegseth Blasts Him
Yesterday I worried when I saw that Pete Hegseth would be delivering an address today. I feared he would be announcing his withdrawal from the administration.
I guess he still might do that but it's more likely he was announcing his coming rebuttal of Thomas Massie's latest screed against him.Massie's argument was that Pete Hegseth should be impeached for limiting lawyers' ability to veto operations or impose lethal restrictions on troops fighting for America. A veteran of the Global War on Terror offered his own reaction to Thomas Massie's work on behalf of the Caliphate.
A former military lawyer notes that Massie continues whining that the US attacked narcoterrorists smuggling drugs to the US by boat without having a lawyer give them permission. It's always, ALWAYS drugs with these fucking hippies.
InfantryDort
@infantrydort Nah man. I'm not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can't. I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately. We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly. Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him. His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that's not good. GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could. We were lectured for years about "courageous restraint." We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation. And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand. So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then. Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like.... actual enemies for once. That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action. From where I sit, the betrayal isn't that Washington finally found some aggression for a change. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.
No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY. And I'm done pretending those are the same thing. We're all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it. Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.
- Article IV. The basis for the next article is a claim that: "Secretary Hegseth willfully and systemically refused to comply with laws and directives mandated for the protection of civilians during the commission of armed conflict, chilled and rendered ineffective such components to prevent and mitigate harm to civilians, and therefore, foreseeably effected the death and injury of over 200 civilians [referring to the attack reportedly directed against an elementary school in Minab, Iran], to the manifest injury of the United States." Tbh nearly every line of this article misrepresents various aspects of international AND domestic law in such an egregious manner that I'm tempted to do a deep-dive on just Article IV. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do so at some point in the future. For now, I'll just focus on the core of this allegation: that SECWAR Hegseth failed to comply with legal "obligations" involving civilian harm mitigation & reduction (CHMR). ...Massie is also crying that Trump "kidnapped" Maduro, who again is a federally indicted drug-trafficker and therefore is a being deserving of special protection by nasty drug-obsessed hippie douchebags.
The MAIN point to address here is that Congress doesn't possess the constitutional authority to FORCE DoW to implement specific CHMR practices. Congress can appropriate funds for such practices (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 12). And Congress can "make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces" (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 14). But POTUS is appointed as commander-in-chief of the military (Art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 1). And practices related to civilian harm mitigation & reduction are strictly within the purview of CiC authority since they don't involve making rules for the armed forces (that authority is exercised by adopting the Uniform Code of Military Justice ... more about the UCMJ below). ... - Article V. The essential basis for the next allegation is: "Secretary Hegseth abused the authority and trust vested in him as Secretary of Defense not only by directing the unlawful use of lethal military force, resulting in the summary execution of at least 243 persons in international waters, but also by using his office to compel members of the Armed Forces to carry out such operations under false legal authorities that he caused to be constructed and imposed upon the chain of command." This claim is centered on the campaign of attacks directed against suspected narcoterrorists in international waters. ... The MAIN problem here (out of many) is the assertion that: "By subjecting persons merely suspected of criminal conduct to lethal military force without judicial process, without congressional authorization, and without establishing a lawful basis for treating such persons or vessels as military targets, Secretary Hegseth arrogated to himself and the Executive Branch the roles of judge, jury, and executioner and asserted a unilateral power to determine who may live and who may die." Of course, the "without congressional authorization" element returns us to the analysis from the WPR articles involving the concurrent constitutional powers to "declare war" (Congress) AND engage in "hostilities" (POTUS). Even so, the assertion that suspected narcoterrorists operating drug boats on the High Seas are MERELY "suspected of criminal conduct" is a gross misrepresentation of international law involving the resort to force (jus ad bellum) & domestic implementation thereof. See, this article explicitly acknowledges that an interagency task force developed a classified memo that presented "a legal basis for such strikes" by determining that the "United States is engaged in a noninternational armed conflict (NIAC) with 24 Latin American Designated Terrorist Organizations." Whether one disagrees with this determination or not, the EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. And when it DID determine the existence of a noninternational armed conflict against drug cartels, by definition the adversary was no longer merely "suspected of criminal conduct." Yes, trafficking narcotics IS criminal conduct. But saying it is ONLY criminal conduct would be like claiming al-Qaeda operatives are "only" criminals since they're engaged in activity that is against the law. A drug dealer at home is a criminal. A narcotics trafficker on the High Seas that ISN'T part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent in a (noninternational) armed conflict is ALSO a criminal. But a narcotrafficker on the High Seas that IS part of a group the government has determined to be an adversarial belligerent is a criminal AND a civilian taking direct part in hostilities (DPH). And what do we do with civilians DPH? Sure, we can detain them - but we can ALSO make them the object of attack pursuant to LOAC. That's what DoW did, that's what SECWAR Hegseth directed, and none of it constitutes a "high Crime or Misdemeanor".
Hegseth's own rebuttal was also unsparing.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley I am reviewing the eight articles on the impeachment of Sec. Pete Hegseth. In my view, six of the eight articles should be nonstarters, including the Iranian articles. Presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have asserted the authority to commence such operations... ...Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie said yesterday that he filed the articles because he wants to "litigate" the underlying war powers of Congress. I agree with Massie about the need for Congress to assert its constitutional authority over the declaration of war. However, Trump was acting within the authority long asserted by his predecessor. More importantly... ...Massie is not going to "litigate" the matter through impeachments. Courts have not limited this authority and are unlikely to do so. This is a call for an impeachment by members who tolerated the exercise of the authority by Democratic members... ...It is equally baffling to seek to impeach on the basis of the "kidnapping" of former President Maduro. Trump was acting within the authority recognized by the courts in the Noreiga case. That was, to use Massie's term, "litigated." ...
Hegseth added:
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday railed against the Republican congressman who introduced articles of impeachment against him and aggressively defended his leadership in the Iran war and other military operations. "What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment," Hegseth said a day after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., put forward the eight impeachment articles. "It's a farce, and it's a stunt, and everybody knows it," Hegseth said during his first Pentagon news conference in six months. The articles accuse Hegseth of waging war in contravention of Congress, carrying out extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean against purported drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran. Massie, a libertarian who lost his Republican primary in May after clashing with President Donald Trump, kicked off the impeachment battle less than a week after a blue-wave midterm that will flip House and Senate control to Democrats.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who is poised to be speaker of the House in the next Congress, on Sunday said Democrats are a "hard yes" on impeaching Hegseth. He reiterated his support on Monday in a press conference.
"This is not patriotism. This is sabotage"Hegseth got a good grade from the boss.
"Pete Hegseth gets an "A" PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
I’ve just watched the press conference by @SecWar @PeteHegseth, and you simply need to watch it yourselves. It is PHENOMENAL 🔥
Truthfully, he nails it. He is absolutely, categorically, 100% correct with what he said. Almost every word of it. And my respect for him has increased exponentially. He is right. Argue with me or him or whoever you want, however you want. Pete Hegseth is right. Here is just a portion of the press conference. The full speech is far too large to post. And there was so much more he said that was simply superb in every word.— Mor Edge Insight (@MorEdge_Insight) November 10, 2026
HEGSETH: "We didn't start this war; Iran did, 47 years ago. President Trump is willing to do what no other President would. He did the tough, right thing — not for politics, but for the safety and the security of the American people. That's leadership." https://t.co/iWTp7Os9dn

If they want to come for the warriors, they’re going to have to come through me.— Clash Report (@clashreport) November 10, 2026

@TaraCopp A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here -- for Hegseth's first press conference in 6 months -- that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It's the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. "This is crazy town" one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that
Hello everybody! I hope you're all healthy and happy and that you've cleared out most of the wreckage we all found ourselves under from last Tuesday night.

The right (including Hegseth) knows that combat is not at all a criminal matter, but an existential one, particularly as you get more granular (the individual warrior vice the US itself).
Combat is combat. Crime is crime. They aren't interchangeable, no matter how much liberals want them to be.

Every time I think Congress has finally scraped the absolute bottom of the barrel of useless, self-important, backstabbing assholes, you come crawling out from underneath it like a syphilitic fucking sewer rat with a superiority complex and a desperate need for somebody, ANYBODY, to give a shit what you think.
You’ve spent your entire worthless career as a preening, self-righteous little bitch who never actually did a goddamn thing except clap for the cameras, cash the checks, and jerk yourself off about how principled you are while the rest of the party actually tried to win. You're a walking participation trophy with a congressional pension, the political equivalent of a wet fart in an elevator who somehow convinced himself he's Thomas fucking Jefferson.
And now, for your grand fucking finale, you’re counting “eight impeachable acts” like some pious little altar boy with a hard-on for losing, because Pete Hegseth is effective, the war is going the way your voters wanted, and your colleagues aren’t stupid enough to follow a lame-

-duck loser into a political suicide pact.
Eight! EIGHT! Congratulations, you sanctimonious dipshit. Did you count them all by yourself, or did you need your Democrat buddies to take your shoes off so you could get past ten?
And since you've suddenly appointed yourself the nation's supreme authority on military accountability, let's revisit Lloyd fucking Austin.
The Secretary of Defense vanished into a hospital for days, the President wasn't informed, his own deputy didn't know the full circumstances, and the Pentagon's chain of command looked like a goddamn Three Stooges reunion.
WHERE THE FUCK WAS CAPTAIN ACCOUNTABILITY THEN, YOU SPINELESS, TWO-FACED LITTLE SHITSTAIN?
No impeachment crusade. No constitutional sermon. No theatrical outrage. Apparently your principles were buried somewhere between your pinecone collection and whatever Democrat's ass you were kissing that week.
But Hegseth starts kicking ass, and suddenly the mighty Thomas Massie emerges from his woodland fucking monastery, clutching his impeachment articles like Moses descending Mount Sinai, ready to lecture everybody about constitutional responsibility[. . .]

We are watching out country unravel bit by bit. This is the result of years of marching though the institutions.
It starts where we allowed poison to be taught in our schools. Our "leaders" had multiple opportunities to either cut off or mitigate the left's control of education- universal vouchers, charter schools, etc...
Our leaders were unwilling to fight. They play nice with their "Friends across the aisle."
Instead the "leaders" and "thought leaders" mocked people who pointing out how insane students had become. "They'll change when faced with the real world".
IF we aren't able to retake control of our country and retake control of our education system, the greatest country the world has ever seen will see its demise from internal enemies and feckless leaders.
I have to assume this is what Cicero felt, warning of the demise of the Roman Republic.

The graduate students at Harvard are hilariously on strike - one of them whined that she had to have roommates because her graduate stipend was so low, and another whined that you couldn't raise a family on that stipend.
But Harvard is now suffering a second horrific blow:
"Harvard’s non-tenure-track faculty and researchers will walk out of classrooms and labs Tuesday for the first time, after a final bargaining session Monday ended without a contract agreement with the University."
They're represented by the United Auto Workers, BTW, which has apparently decided that its future lies in representing whiny academics.
The person who posted this announcement is Madeleine Baker, who is currently a College Fellow in the History of Science department at Harvard University, and is of course a tranny.

The drugs and embargoed crude were being shipped to Europe for sale, and the proceeds were laundered through European banks for deposit into Venezuelan military and Cartel banking accounts, where the credit was used for purchasing needed supplies for export to Venezuela, and of course Iran since they combined with Venezuela to "greywash" their own crude.
I am told that the price of Coke in Europe has gotten unpleasantly high, and I suspect this is reflected in US prices as well.

Massie is a dead letter. I'm sure his Cow Money portfolio has made serious gainzzzz, but that's the extent of his influence as of last year.
Hegseth has the juice to beat him, so long as Trump backs him up. It's on the boss, now.

This is treason. Pure unmitigated treason. The attempt to restrict American armed forces so they can't win. Just like in Iraq, and 'Stan, and Vietnam.
The *point* of war is to inflict enough pain on your enemies to force them to agree to your terms. Paying them when you kill their fighters and rebuilding their infrastructure after your destroy it does the opposite of that

Doutbtful. The days of importing Mexican ditch weed by the bale are mostly over because there are so many "legit" domestic grow ops and dispensaries.
Most of the weed people get in non-legal states is shit that people in legal states buy, bring to other states and sell at a markup.

Its like Tick-Tock. Every time the medical community finds ways to be more efficient, new treatments that dial down recovery, techniques that once were days in a bed are now office visits and out treatment, anything...
Then the "AFFORDABILITY"™ Demonic Party finds new ways to jack up premiums. More efficient? Bring 40 million foreigners in with expensive medical problems. New treatments? Put more people in psychotherapy, add drug rehab as covered by Obamacare. Streamline processes? Add whole new categories of covered treatment like lifelong tranny drugs and body mutilation. Import more doctors? Force the population to take the ClotShot and watch as turbo cancers, infertility, and heart disease sky rocket and become normal in young populations. Bring drug prices down? Dig out foreigners with incurable TB, leprosy and stuff that was eradicated back in the days of Jesus.
Its as if there is a homeostasis of misery and expense that must be maintained. For every efficiency and betterment, new shit is stuffed into the system to erase whatever gains may have occurred.

Blowing up narco terrorists on the high seas it's exactly what I want our military doing. Same goes for blowing up the Iranian terrorist nuclear capability.
Tossing out left wing ideologues masquerading as US military officers is exactly what the SoW should be doing. If it comes down to modeling our military on the character of General Patton versus General Miley I would approve that a thousand times over.
Massie's beef is he hates President Trump and he's such a cocksucking coward he didn't have the balls to impeach him instead of Hegseth.

The Colombians and the USN are catching large shipments of pot right now, a lot of the shipments blowed up were in the Pacific going north, which is why I was interested. It would be a small trick to "launder" Colombian pot through the various state licensed vendors, or even on the street since it is supposedly cheaper to buy on the black market still in places like California

Could be, though it was most likely a barter economy for the Venezuelan generals who managed the regime and supported it. Drugs were fast-boated to places like Jamaica, and then shipped to ports like Amsterdam, and credit was given out. I suspect when the money dried up, so did the bribes and the willingness to support Maduro.
It was also a pretext to put the USN in the Gulf in preparation for the Maduro operation you know.

There was just no plan in place in Iran, so either Trump is totally overruling Hegseth's wise counsel or he's being poorly advised by Hegseth.
Trump needs a head to roll and I would be shocked if he doesn't decide to dump it on Hegseth.

Current active duty and recently retired think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I tend to take their word for it.

If the answer is always going to be fraud then what’s the point of any of it?

There's really two paths here, Trump's Iran strategy was sound or it was a disaster. if you think it was done poorly, who else is to blame?
Maybe Hegseth is totally innocent and tried to do things differently, but he seemed front and center for all of it.
If I was Secretary of Defense and I felt I was nothing but a bystander holding the bag, I would have resigned.

Writer Michel Houellebecq indicted after remarks about Muslims and the "great replacement"
INFO LE FIGARO - Michel Houellebecq was prosecuted after an interview with Front Populaire, Michel Onfray's magazine, in November 2022. The 70-year-old writer was indicted for complicity in provocation to discrimination, hatred or violence.
The writer Michel Houellebecq was indicted for "complicity in provocation to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people because of their origin or their belonging or non-membership to a specific ethnicity, nation, race or religion", Le Figaro learned from a source close to the file. The decision was rendered on Tuesday by an investigating judge of the Nanterre judicial court.

And they use it to fund their lifestyles, and pay off the women they pee on, and that _____ Money Box is where your donations go, and it's made from your votes.

I no longer partake, but illegal weed is a death-trap--too much of it is exposed to fentanyl and people's pleasant little high results in their untimely passing.
Legal weed requires a id card, and an id card puts one at risk of clashing with one's oath upon a federal firearms card at the time of purchase.
Because I'm not a fan of untimely death or charges of federal perjury, I no longer partake.

Right. It's basically the electoral equivalent of Pascal's Wager. You should believe real elections occur because if they don't, then we're all basically standing around with our dicks in our hands waiting for a civil war that may never come to kick off.

It has nothing to do with munitions and everything to do with a captured population (Persians)that we don't really have a beef with.
It's not like Imperial Japan, where the population is all-in on the War effort and being used as a defused manufacturing/fighting force.
There is no need to cow the population of Iran, entirely. So, we have to work to spare the population while eliminating their ruling class and respective security force.

If you were to trust the results, that would mean 95% of the entire United States just decided to abandon their voting patterns and Vote Blue. IMPOSSIBLE
To drive home this point, here is a graph I made of the 3,089 counties, all grouped by state, and how many shifted Blue
No one can look at this graph of American county voting results and believe this, NO ONE

This is unfortunate, because war should not be the default solution to any foreign policy issue. Nevertheless it is true.
Lindbergh started by saying "We don't need another war in Europe" but eventually went to Berlin to complain about the dirty Jews picking on poor little Hitler.
The anti-Vietnam rallies proudly sported the Viet Cong flag.
Code Pink harassed wounded soldiers outside military hospitals.
And now Benedict Massey is saying that Iran, which masterminded the murder of the Marines in Beirut, is a poor little victim of Trump.

But my immediate reaction when we embarked on this was "it's a bad idea. We don't have the wherewithal to screw ourselves up to the sticking point. We'll lose, and it will embarrass us, and embolden our foreign enemies, while increasing the power of our domestic ones. We shouldn't be doing this."
And that's more or less how this turned out.
But it's not the reason for this midterm blowout. The GOP is. Plain and simple.
If you want loyalty from Trump voters you have to earn it like he did. The GOP didn't, and that's the long and the short of it.

That's what would be required to fraudulently shift 254 independently-run county elections in Texas. The elections officials themselves, in every Texas county, would have to have been the ones doing it.

Kiki Camarena, DEA agent murdered in 1987, was one such victim. The CIA was afraid he had connected the drug trade to an airstrip they were using to smuggle weapons to the Contras. One of the CIA's men interrogated Kiki while he was in the clutches of the the Drug Lords, wanting to find out what he knew, then that same man lied to Congress about it.

None of this justifies impeachment of Hegseth, but it is an indictment of the Congress that basically has abnegated its responsibilities to regulatory agencies, the executive, and the courts. This has been getting worse for decades. No legislation, no budget, no responsibility. Just grandstanding investigations for fundraising. Our Congress, including Massie, is a joke.

Nope - in ALL cases. Where does the constitution delineate where he can and can't ? Nowhere
Much like the Constitution provides the ONLY qualifications for President, House, and Senate, and anything you want to add to that requires a constitutional amendment, so too does the Constitution contain all the requirements for the power to conduct military operations. IE none. You want to add some ? Best get to amending the Constitution, then. The War Powers Act, as everyone already knows, is patently unconstitutional.

The Morning Rant: John Thune (And Others) Must Go!
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is driving the effort and has collected the five signatures needed to request a meeting of the full conference, The Hill reported. Republicans Ted Budd of North Carolina, Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and John Kennedy of Louisiana signed his letter, according to Axios. Two other Republicans, Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania and Jim Banks of Indiana, endorsed the delay in their own statements without signing, Bloomberg reported. Johnson called Tuesday’s outcome a “stunning defeat” in the letter, The Hill reported, and has argued that rushing the vote would be “political malpractice,” according to the Federalist. Johnson wants the conference to examine what went wrong before it installs a leadership team. “If you hold the election, I’ll leave the room,” Johnson told a Washington Examiner reporter Monday. “An election defeat of this magnitude demands change,” he added on X.
That bolded part is vital. The Republican Party failed in many ways, and while the blame does not rest solely with the feckless Senate leadership, John Thune's failure should be the catalyst for an examination of how the Republicans in the Senate support the administration's goals and how they respond to the American people's support for popular legislation. Managing the decline is no longer an option! Although if an election cycle as a minority party will purge the Senate of its pathetic Corporate GOP placeholders, perhaps that would be worth it. Regardless, the idea of the maverick has damaged the prospects of the Republican Party, and the purge should be swift and violent and all-encompassing. The left operates in lockstep, and savagely punishes the outliers who disturb the carefully crafted image of a unified party. That is why the emergence of the DSA is so disturbing...their party hierarchy cannot control them! And that is a good thing for the Republican Party and the conservative movement. But...the left never loses sight of its goals, and they will eventually integrate the DSA and its far-left analogues into the Party, or perhaps it will be the other way around. But either way, the path is always toward unity. That is a lesson that has evaded the Republican leadership. JD Vance came from the Senate, and as vice-president he could have been a vital bridge between the administration and the Senate, but that would have required loyalty to the President and the goals of the American people, and he would have had to sublimate his own political goals...something he has clearly not done. President Trump could have been more collaborative with the Senate, and perhaps that would have changed the trajectory of the SAVE Act defeat. But that is asking him to change his spots, and is simply not a reasonable expectation. And, after all, the President is the de facto head of the Party, and has every right to expect loyalty to his strategic vision, especially when it is supported by the vast majority of the American people! But that requires a sea change in the way Republican lawmakers see themselves, and the voters must speak loudly and forcefully for that to occur! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. And if you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow me it would be much appreciated!

UPDATE: 30 companies have now confirmed they will not advertise on the “I’ve had it” podcast after hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at Charlie’s m*rder:
Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, Zenni Optical, Momentous, Honeylove, Casper, HexClad, Ethos, Branch Basics, Ladder, Nutrafol, Jones Road Beauty, ZipRecruiter, PAKA, Ember, BetterHelp, Primal Queen, Monarch Money, iRestore, HomeServe, Ridge Wallet, Lola Blankets, NOBL Travel, Dupe, One Skin, IQbar, Quince, Cozy Earth, ASPCA
I know the Ace podcast went kaput...but maybe give it another shot? Think of all the hobo pelt and shelf sponsors dying to do promos!
It's funny that anti capitalist commies can get advertisers like these, and conservative podcasters usually are struggling just to get coffee, gold, and vitamin sponsors. Though Boll and Branch was a longtime Rush sponsor, and I know Cozy Earth advertises with some conservatives.

"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.
It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.
But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

I am not saying you are mistaken, Rhomboid, but there was something hinky going on to make him the nominee. He was famous for sticking his thumb in the eye of the base. But you know there are a lot of self-hating Republicans who would support him and others who are easily swayed by false media narratives.

That would presume he lost.
People who have been in DC for decades know far better than we do how the DC game is played and who is pulling strings and writing checks.
We are the insurgents and Thune and many others are the entrenched establishment. Tim Burchett, a somewhat low key but a guy most definitely on our side in the House, announced yesterday that he wanted Marsha Blackburn to appoint him to her former seat in the Senate after she left to be governor of Tennessee. Thune immediately came out against him.
Not a chance in hell Trump or God Almighty was going to make Thune and his establishment pals pass the Save Act. It was the simplest and most obvious thing they could do to please 80% of the country. So they didn't do it.

Glad Davey got in there.
In 2025 and 2026, during Donald Trump's second administration, the deployment of surrogates has shifted to when, what, where?
Federal agency overhauls, the Great American Recovery Initiate, maternal and healthcare initiatives, legal and border enforcements, defending birthright citizenship restrictions, Melania and her focus on foster children, her focus on Ukraine and Russia, the frigging fact Trump HAD to do something with Iran, not in keeping with O's turning his back on our nation, and on and on the administration fights. Maybe not all perfect in tone or goal. But always trying for this nation, and the administration should be lauded for it.
Where are the surrogates? Far and few between and msm will never help.
T & his administration gets used to fix or stabilize a ton of broken or almost broken shit in this country and throughout the world, and then the knives come out immediately for the next election from all sides.
All, imo.

Conservatives think the GOP is much more conservative than it actually is. I don’t mean the establishment, I mean the common voters. We to k it’s a 9/10 when it’s really a 6/10 on a good day. It is what it is.
For Dems they think their party is a 10/10 and in reality they’re a 9.95 lol. They’re never disappointed.

Don't want to yank this taffy further, but if people vote for someone, that someone is not "foisted" on them (as a whole).
Pitiful options? Sure. The nature of a dead, calcified two-party "system". The Trump phenomenon clearly illustrates how dead the system is, but also how rebellion can work. Whole lot a rebellion going to be needed - and not just in presidential cycles - to overwhelm the inertia.
Posted by: rhomboid at November 10, 2026 11:49 AM (U/Byj)
Re-electing Thune to the leadership or any leadership position would be the biggest insult possible to Republican voters and Certainly Trump voters.
It would literally be saying to Republican voters that they will never ever, under any circumstances represent them.
And if that's the case...well, why support or vote for them?
All of this could've been prevented with a cooperative Congress, now the whole country goes down with the Democrats promised Turbo-Biden destruction and inflation.
Welp, I just hope those yuan and Singham Bux were worth selling off your inheritance of freedom.

... both parties, but especially the Republicans, have subscribed to the "next person in line" method of favoring candidates for the presidential nominee. First example of this, Bob Dole.
Dole was also the Republican presidential nominee in the 1996 presidential election and the vice presidential nominee in the 1976 presidential election. Bob Dole was in the military in WWII, sustained a head wound and went into politics.

We saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. Lots of Godzilla goodness. So, many great p[arts and set pieces.
I really liked the opening, where Ghidrah's theme screeches like a repeating musically alarm and the screen opens up to Ghidrah rampaging destruction.
Sent chills up my spine and make think "This is gonna be a good movie."
Surprisingly, the little girl is an excellent actor better than some of the adults.
Is it as good as "Godzilla Minus One"?...no, this is one of those movies where there's too much plot
and it gets in the way sometimes and slows things down.
Still, a very good movie and a fun time at the flicks.
Definitely, worth seeing on the big screen.

The 2028 Senate map looks brutal. Republicans must be shitting bricks on this one; a 60 seat majority is not an unreasonable goal!
Assuming the Democrats need 4 flips to get to 60, what are the realistic targets? Wisconsin, North Carolina, Iowa...Getting a 4th starts seeming tough.
And in 2030....Ted Cruz (TX) getting taken out finally... especially due to the electorate shifting he must be scared shitless now.
It depends what happens in the next two years. If Trump doubles down and democrats run Ossoff, every Republican seat is potentially winnable if Republicans nominate the wrong candidate. You don’t get more red than Mississippi and South Carolina.
During the next two years, the economy for “everyday Americans” is just going to get worse as a consequence of bad decisions Trump and the GOP have already put in place. voters in 2028 will rightly blame Trump for the unfolding disaster. Dems will take the White House and expand their congressional majorities in 2028. The challenge for Dems after 2028 will be to satisfy voters’ unrealistic expectation that Dems will quickly repair the damage Trump has done.

Indeed. I can think of 544 others who need to go, as a feeble start. We can start working through the other ~.5m after those guys break ground on the canal at the Port of Anchorage.
Once they're exhausted, we can start using excavators and paid labor, etc., to get to the Port of New Orleans - while always keeping barracks at job sites for the Lot's Wives who looked back. They can always dig. Every little bit helps.

It should’ve been done right after the tea party got wiped out by the same class of people that led to this wipeout. I don’t have faith that this will happen and we will know after the leadership hearings. Hope isn’t a plan, and if we have to put faith into the people that have been continuously running this party into the ground then it will be a grim future.

"George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language."

Blindfolded Woman: Represents the inability to see the future clearly, yet still striving for optimism.
Lyre with One String: Symbolizes the fragility of hope; despite the damage, the remaining string suggests that there is still potential for beauty and music in life.
Globe: Indicates the vastness of the world and the weight of despair that can accompany it.

The universal themes in this are subtle but clear and have been used throughout literature. This could be Alfred the Great and his meeting with the Virgin Mary when on the brink of annihilation from invaders. It could be Samwise in Mordor seeing the one distant star untouched by darkness and despair. It could be anyone who has prayed at the bed of a loved one in peril.
An alternate title could be Faith.

This is how far the Democrat lawfare agenda has already escalated:
Ayanna Pressley wants Republicans held accountable for "crimes against humanity."
"Starving, hungry children. Denying people essential health care. The list is long."
This was after listing other punishable offenses such as "Black women pushed out of the workforce," tariffs and the unemployment rate.
In other words: It doesn't matter what the grievances are, Democrats want them contorted into prosecutable crimes.

The communist New York City mayor has quietly been asking President Trump's team to release individuals held in ICE custody, according to a Monday report from Politico.
Sources and quotes from Mamdani himself show that his inexplicably cordial relationship with the President had previously expanded into an open line of communication on specific immigration enforcement issues. According to Politico, that communication came through former Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

Litany are the worst kind.
She's been suspended since 2020.
"Judge Kahlilia Davis was accused of abusing court powers and interfering in the work and livelihood of a process server for the court, even lying under oath. In 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court suspended Davis for failing to keep a video record of the court cases in violation of Michigan Court rules.
Following that 2020 suspension, Davis made headlines again in 2022 when the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission found her unfit to serve. She purposely unplugged courtroom recording equipment, threatened coworkers (even using Bible verses to do so!), used a fake handicap placard so she could park closer to buildings, lied under oath, and abused other court powers."

I guess this is not the same brewery in WI that said they would offer free beer if Trump was killed? That one lost their liquor license.

The Morning Report — 11/10 /26
President Donald Trump declared Monday that Iran’s military is effectively defeated and another U.S. offensive appears unlikely, signaling that the months-long conflict could soon end following talks with Qatar’s prime minister.Gee, and such perfect timing the welcome announcement coming as it does precisely a week after the midterm elections where the conflict in Iran was in many quarters a campaign issue that in sone ways rightly or wrongly contributed to the disastrous showing for the GOP. Will there be an official surrender on board the deck of the USS Missouri, conveniently parked somewhere in the Strait of Hormuz so that the Houthis can attack it a la the USS Cole with Islamikaze suicide boats? And no doubt Iran's renewal of its efforts to build nuclear weapons will go the way of its Mullah-controlled government — that is it will ramp up yet again. On this fercockter sour note, yes it's not just the lyrics but it's also the fact that the music that it engendered included the vomitus inducing screeches of Yoko Ono. And so we go from the President's declaration on Iran to this madness about the border and immigration policy. I mean what the ever-loving Effing hell?!
President Donald Trump denied Monday that his administration is considering amnesty for illegal immigrants, clarifying remarks he made in an interview over the weekend suggesting he might be open to striking a deal with Democrats. During an interview with 60 Minutes, the president told CBS News’ Ross Douthat that he would “love” to work with Democrats on immigration, said the issue had both “helped and hurt” him in the midterms, and suggested that he might allow certain illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.Working with the Democrats is the exact same thing as working with Hamas and Iran's Mullahs. Maybe, maybe they'll throw you some sort of a bone that has a huge string attached to it but in the next two years, if they can't actually impeach convict and remove you from office — remember they now control both chambers and they're on a mission from ...Satan... as they have been for years — they will do everything they can to completely undermine you by any and every means at their disposal. Because the real goal is not just removing you as their bête noire but removing every last vestige of America as founded, that is whatever yet remains of it, so they can cement absolute power generationally and forever.
Every generation of Americans is told that some emergency justifies setting the Constitution aside just this once. Today’s “emergency” comes with a slogan: saving democracy. Strip away the branding, and the Democrat Party’s structural agenda looks like something entirely different—and reminiscent of the old Bolsheviki power play 100 years ago but recast for gaining control of U.S. institutions. Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the filibuster, an end run around the Electoral College, federal control of elections, and a government apparatus for policing “disinformation” are not a plan to save democracy. Taken together, they are a plan to make a future Democrat Party majority permanent. That was the Bolsheviki goal, too....THE PATTERN: WIN ONCE, NEVER LOSE AGAIN...THE ACCELERANT: A COLOR REVOLUTION IN WAITING . . . There is a constitutional answer for the Democrats’ plan. Constitutional conservatives do not need to match the Democrats with a plan of their own. We need only insist on the rules the Framers wrote. If DC deserves statehood, if the Electoral College should go, if justices should serve fixed terms, then Democrats are free to make that case via constitutional amendments or Article V and persuade three-quarters of the states to agree. They know they cannot, and that is exactly why they are trying to go around it. The rest of us, in South Dakota and across the country, should refuse to let them.The Constitution is what they've wiped their ass with for nearly 200 years now. There is nothing to stop them. The courts. please that is their first line of defense!!! So the question is How many divisions do they have? No really, should we God-Forbid wind up with a POTUS Titty-Caca AOC and VOP El-Sayed in the not too distant future, they'd have the military, would they obey their orders? More to the point is that the question really is How many divisions do WE have?! On these sour notes, one final thought: Tom Massie is a Titanic reeking, abject piece of shit.
Some people can take a hint. Soon-to-be former Rep. Thomas Massie is not one of those people. Voters in his Kentucky district sent him packing on May 19, and he seems intent on breaking whatever he can before he leaves at the end of the year. He does not even have the leverage to say he could have won a district Republicans lost on Tuesday. The man who defeated him in the Republican primary, Ed Gallerin, beat his Democrat challenger in the general by 13 points. Now he is going out with a bang, forcing an impeachment vote on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth this Wednesday. From his office: Massie is doing this because he doesn't dare do what he really wants to do: introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. It is even more obvious since pretty much every one of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" listed by Massie are things Hegseth either did under orders from the Commander in Chief or with his approval.As horrendous as last Tuesday was, if by some miracle we not only survive the aftermath but it it also leads to the complete evisceration of the GOP of cancerous lesions like Massie, Thune, et al and the restoration of a real pro-American anti-Leftist party we can rally behind then perhaps it will all be worth it. Until then, hunker down, and God bless us all, and despite everything I bid you to have a good day.

...Plus it has a kind of Tower of Babel vibe to it. “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens"
The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.
I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.
Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

Biden proved that they can prop up a cardboard cut-out from a 7/eleven in the WH and the Wizards of Oz could operate without fear of requiring major security.

Dems signed up a bunch of new voters. Republican vote numbers were on par with past midterms. So if those newly signed up Dem voters are legit, then minimal cheating… I tend to think they’re legit. The solution: the GOP needs to sign up a bunch of new voters and get them how… they did it in 24, it can be done again. Start paying Scott Pressler

I'm of the group that believes that human history has a distinct beginning and end that has a foundation in purpose.
To achieve that end, particularly since the war is spiritual not carnal, there are certain requirements. Given that each of the nations (as in Table of Nations) who were separated at Babel have their own spiritual princes (angels/demons/whatever) that a reunion is required — thus there is a physical requirement for the dispersed nations to gather in an economic environment that permits some level of reintegration (physical infrastructure is needed for the humans who are the "hands" of the princes).
Therefore, it is inevitable, indeed a cosmic requirement that immigration is restored to satisfy the time-line.

“Be honest,” retired Lt. Col. James A. “Jamie” Gottschling said when asked what he would tell Moore. “His service in Afghanistan was good. He was a valued member of the brigade staff.” But he added, “It’s disingenuous to say that you led paratroopers in combat or that you did what would be direct action activities in a combat zone.”
Gottschling’s knowledge of Moore’s daily activities in the combat zone adds a firsthand perspective to Spotlight's examination of Moore’s path to Afghanistan, his duties and his combat claims.

It's Amnesty and Ds are pushing really hard on this. The entire DACA program was a fraud, the so called children were 20-30 years old! Many , if not all intruders had fake Birth certificates. And Mex consulate would give them any kind of doc they wanted. That was Obama's time bomb for us. Now they are whining that the "children" did not know, and that they are not responsible. It is a massive amnesty. Rs will lose the little support they have left with this fiasco.

Heck, why put forth the effort? With the shaky Electoral College ground we're now on (picture quicksand), they'll easily wrap up all 3 branches of gov't in '28 and by Jan. 20, 2029, it'll be full steam ahead on amnesty, and voter registrations, for 50 million illegals.

Written by theologian and pastor, Reinhold Niebuhr
In the late '30's or early 40's:
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.

I said constantly that the polls had to be wrong heading into this election - well the polls I hated were right and I was wrong, no way to deny it.
One poll that I hated most said 70% of Texas voters oppose deportation of those without criminal records, outside of immigration violations. They see immigration issues as paperwork crimes, not real crimes.
That’s the headwind we choose to fight if we’re going to continue pushing a “deport everyone!” policy.

I think Rubio and DeSantis have shown they can fight, though differently than Trump. Less effectively? DeSantis racked up a lot of wins in Florida. He fought the Left in creative and daring ways, and showed a relentlessness usually unseen among Republicans. Rubio has shown a total fearlessness of the media. So, yes I think they can fight.
As for Vance, forget it. He's a slick triangulator. Whatever "fight" he shows will be self-serving, without the stamina of conviction.

In October, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted (SA). The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent in October (SA).
If you look at the M2 from the BBB and IRA they added around 40%. I think there is still around 10% to 12% more inflation that will need to be baked into the system over the next 2 years.

🇶🇦 TOP TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA ADVISER ACCUSED OF SECRET QATAR PAYMENTS 🇶🇦
For months, Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz has been waging a holy jihad against pro-Israel commentators critical of Qatar, including Mark Levin, Josh Hammer, Eyal Yakoby, and yours truly, repeatedly insinuating (or outright starting) that we're being paid to promote Israeli interests.
Ironically, just FIVE DAYS AGO, Alex declared, "I don't take any money from Qatar."
Well, the New York Times now reports that his former business partner, Derek Utley, alleges Alex received approximately $500,000 from individuals linked to Qatar through an undisclosed business or consulting arrangement.
What's that cliché about every accusation being a confession?"

It's the fact of the primary that matters. The moment Trump declared his candidacy, his nomination was a foregone conclusion. This was obvious to literally every person in America, and DeSantis would know it better than most.
The only possible """purpose""" for his campaign was to obstruct the presumptive nominee and rake off campaign donations.

What "high crimes and misdemeanors" has Hegseth committed? Kicking out the mentally imbalanced trannies? Requiring officers be in shape instead of doughnut eating fatbodies? War preparations for soldiers?
What, exactly?
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer
The "high crimes and misdemeanors" are simply that the followed Trump's illegal orders (very effectively, by the way). This is the camel's nose under the tent. You get a bi-partisan impeachment through that exposes Trump's crimes in the process, then the next logical step is to impeach Trump. I think that's the deep state color revolution based plan anyway. Massie probably has some really sick stuff that he is being blackmailed on. Or maybe he's just been Tucker Carlsoned.

It doesn't actually matter. Impeachment is political, not criminal.
They can use whatever words they want, and they may get 64 Senators to vote for removal, but I don't think they can get to 67.
That makes impeachment a GIANT waste of their time and political capital and I fully support them spending it here.

We are over-thinking it.
Black bag a few hundred well deserving souls, no more than a thousand before they get it.
Without tripping the "takings clause" in the Bill of Rights, simply apply sanctions against the financiers. You aren't taking the money, they just lose control of it until certain conditions are met. Most billionaires are invested and living off of low-interest loans that they pay off and take the tax right-off. Sanction that shit too.
Now you don't need Fuck You Money, just a few operators that Get It and do it for the adrenaline.

In all honesty, I’m getting close. I was thinking back to 1976, a young Republican in college and how we knocked on doors til our feet were numb, as volunteers for Reagan’s campaign. Reagan won the TX primary but of course lost to Ford. And then all the volunteering for our side in the decades following. This “vote” has felt like a death in the family. I wake up on Wednesday and my beloved home state is now CA? A gut punch doesn’t come close, it’s more like a wooden stake through the heart with no anesthesia. TX was blue way back in the day, but it was a blue dog blue, not a red-green alliance blue. What’s coming in what should have been my golden years scares me to death. We were the crown jewel the left salivated over. And they stole it. I don’t know where we go from here. (Getting rid of Thune would be a start)

Key points:
The FDA requirement applies to one dozen GLP-1 drugs approved since 2005, including Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy.
NAION is caused by decreased blood flow to the front part of the optic nerve, though the underlying cause is not fully understood.
An FDA analysis of clinical trials found a NAION rate of 6.4 per 100,000 patients treated with a GLP-1 compared to 3.8 per 100,000 in comparison groups.
Of 15 probable NAION cases identified in clinical trials, 10 were in patients treated with GLP-1s and five were in patients who received a placebo.
The FDA did not find any cases of NAION in patients receiving other types of glucose-lowering drugs.

The fees are required to go up. Banks have expenses.
Also 10% is arbitrary there is no science other than the art of grabbing a number out of one's ass.
The fluctuating interest rates reflect a very well understood science of actuarial, credit-risk, Fed rates, money supply, transactional volume, average balances, risk pool, KYC, etc.
Declaring by fiat that a Second Chance prospective credit builder is going to have the same discipline as a well established occasional card user who clears the balance each period should be treated as identical risk-reward accounts is absolute folly and should be stopped by the 5th Amendment.

I have a very clear memory from army basic training. I’m a military newbie and clueless… we’re doing calisthenics and a lieutenant walks by me and says “we’re gonna get you in shape, private”…. I made the mistake of assuming that he was being friendly and so I responded with an enthusiastic “that’s great”…. He was not happy that I dared speak to him so he got in my face and uttered only one word and it was clear he was unhappy with me. That one word: Buddy!
Clearly he was communicating that I was not and never would be his buddy haha

Communism: You can vote your way in, but you have to shoot your way out.
Stay close with you and yours, do what you think is necessary to bet buttoned up if you need to, and prepare to ride out whatever comes next. Your 'things I care about' circle should shrink down to whatever you can manage with only your closest people.

There's more to the story about the midterms than "turnout." The Democrats learned a lot from 2020 and did not make the same mistakes Nov. 3.
20 million + (R) voters didn't change their minds.
And 20 million + newly minted (D) voters didn't "just materialize."

I agree completely. My comments about what happened in Texas boil down to this - Democrats ran a brilliant underground campaign that we never noticed and never responded to, and our lack of response gave them credibility. Abbot thought he could coast to a 4th term without even trying - and we see the result.

Don't blame Tucker. He was trying to help Republicans when he abandoned the party, then fabricated a story on the eve of the election that Trump wants to drop a nuke and start WWIII, destroying the entire world.
And don't say this influenced anyone. It was only viewed 100 million times.

And also, as much as I don't want to reference this: Axios, MAGA castoffs plot 2028 spoiler bid, Nov 8, 2026

"The big picture: The plan is for libertarians to claim dibs on the "America First" agenda, mainly focusing on anti-war sentiment.
Organizers believe they can build consensus among supporters of the MAGA wing that's closer to Tucker Carlson, former Trump official Joe Kent and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as disillusioned "Make America Healthy Again" activists and populist-inclined voters on the right and left." (Much more follows.)
Bingo!

I wondered, What is Red Seat Ventures and how is it tied to Tucker Carlson, MTG, etc.?
Reportedly, Fox Corp. acquired Red Seat Ventures, a media company that specializes in right-leaning podcasts and live events.
AI Overview: Founded by media executives Chris and Kevin Balfe, the company builds the "back-end" monetization machinery (such as ad placement, premium subscription tech, and and live events like CrimeCon) for personality-driven networks.
Posted by: L - No nic... at November 10, 2026 11:11 AM (NFX2v)
Red Seat Ventures, a division of Fox Corp's Tubi Media Group, operates a network of shows from personalities including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly and Piers Morgan.
Now, as part its parent company's ongoing push to capitalize on the creator economy, Red Seat is looking to empower any podcast creator to make money with Speakeasy: a new owned-and-operated platform developed within Fox aimed at providing creators with monetization, hosting and distribution services — all in one place." Massie could very well sign on.
Also, By refiling his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), he explicitly authorized his principal campaign committee to continue raising money and entered into a joint fundraising arrangement to distribute political donations. (Daily Caller +1)
Massie stated on social media that keeping the committee active allows him to fund his ongoing political operations, cover costs associated with his remaining time as a current officeholder, and maintain a financial war chest for whatever federal office he ultimately decides to pursue in 2028.

2016: Trump derangement. Ascendant sociopathy. Race riots. Evil politicians. Everyone's a perv. Movies suck. Music sucks. TV is going away.
2026: Still almost exactly that, with no discernible change whatsoever
America has literally just lost a decade. We used to become a whole new culture every ten years, to the point where we definitively marked cultural shifts by naming them numerically after decades, at least for the last ten of them or so.
Now? Nothing. We've stopped moving. We've stagnated. No one thinks anything new. No one does anything new. No one makes or builds anything new.
Elon Musk is almost the only person creating anything tangible that isn't "exactly what we had before, except bigger and creepier and less reliable".

Cool and dry (well, as dry as a swamp can get) with some wind this am. Good workout weather.
I dreamed that I was going to look at a condo property in the east part of the city, an area where no one with sanity lives or even visits if he can help it. It took me an hour in traffic to get back to my current place from the realty office, and it would take another hour to drive back out to the evening appointment. (Dream plotting.) I was getting ready to call them and cancel when I woke up.

If we were able to kidnap somebody from 1965 and plunk them down 2025 I think they would rapidly adapt since the core of technology/ Life in a western country is somewhat consistent even though the details are radically different.
On the other hand, if you were to take somebody from 1910 and plunk them down in 1965, I think there is a case to be made. They would not fare as well.

I suppose I was just as clueless when I first learned about computers in '88, email in '93, and the 'Net in '94.

The photo at the top of the ONT shows a whole bunch of people who were adults in 1936 ([Top photo: Herald Square, 34th and Broadway, Manhattan - Berenice Abbott photo - 1936]), pretty much halfway between 1910 and 1965. There's so much that looks like today and so much that doesn't.

In photos, the clothing on everyday people has not changed since the early '90s. T-shirts and shorts everywhere, business casual in offices, suits and ties in most formal settings. They all look much the same now as they did in '92. Whereas the difference between 1935 (the ONT's pics) and, say, 1965 was great. Ditto between '65 and '75, and '75 and '85.

The environmental implications of relying on gas-fired generators have also attracted criticism. “This is pretty grim—these kinds of generators are terrible for the environment.” Shakeel Hashim, founder of ReadTransformer, tweeted, commenting on Anthropic's purchase. His reaction points to an issue Anthropic will have to contend with as it expands its power infrastructure: securing electricity quickly does not remove the environmental costs of generating it.
How are gas-powered generators worse for the environment when so many power plants across the world are using the same technology?
Me thinks Shakeel is a full of sheet grifter.

The key phrase follows where God decides to confound their language because He observed that together "there is nothing they can't do" — and that phrase has haunted Torah scholars for millennia.
I have coined the phrase "babelized" to describe any system that is too complex to be understood or properly managed. Like running a nation in a command economy. Which is the direction the former US is heading. Which may be possible with AI ... in theory.
Personally, I see it more spiritualized and AI is the head-fake. Its the joining together the people groups (ref Table of Nations) who were scattered into a mass so that their spiritual princes will be together to pick up on their rebellion against God that they began shortly after The Flood.

The question, if you believe there was overwhelming fraud (I do ), is what to do about it. I think the Left wants Trump to question the election so that they can further a Color Revolution (you’re soaking in it! ).

My snooty MIL was visiting and he was asking about her childhood, etc. She was raised with 7 siblings in a brownstone in Queens. They had a postage sized back yard, was part of the discussion.
Son innocently asked if this was a tenement and I nearly laughed out loud at her expression. Her mother's family were very wealthy. She said, "Indeed not!"
I spent most of my in-laws visits in FL drinking a LOT of gin at the strike of 5pm, their customary cocktail hour they never missed and I never knew about til I met them. I was the first girl their son ever brought home for dinner.
Have no doubt whatsoever they didn't like the idea of their wayward son (I had nothing to do with that) marrying me. Altho I was a RN with manners and brought good looking genes into the pool.
The Southern Presbyterian part bugged them, no doubt. They got used to me and our wedding was very nice. They preferred my parents to the other's spouse's parents.
When I worked in the newborn nursery my coworkers loved it when they came as my MIL was OCD and drove me insane. She once got on all fours to peer under the fridge and inform me of dust.

It was a glorious run, from the beginning (1910s maybe?) up until the 1970s or 1980s).
There was a very clear demarcation or compartmentalization for subjects, crafts, hobbies, whatever.
Advertising budgets allowed full content articles and they hired subject matter experts and taught them how to write - or had Editors (remember those?).
By the 1990s magazines became very thin, both physically, and thin on content. The World Wide Web made “content creators” who basically did everything for free. No printing or postage costs.

In the 150yr old house where two of my classmates lived upstairs, and I had the lower floor apt, it is seriously registered as a historic house. Not because of that neighborhood of history, nay. Because I lived there.
Everyplace,and I am not bullsharting about this, I have lived has been beautiful and I have had a blast living freely. Lucky to have lived on a cattle ranch, the Atlantic beach, and the Rocky mountains. It's all very good.
I hope this ends the war of roses. Home is where the farht is.
Carry on.
Oh, and thanks, T-Rex for the ONT.

When Trump 2.0 was sworn in, inflation was 3%. A year later, in December 2025, it was 2.7%. Trump’s inflation rate is roughly half of Biden’s at the same point, the core rate is the lowest in five years, and the spike is about energy, tied to a war that will eventually end. Biden had 21 straight months above 5%. Trump hasn’t had one.

The loss of advertising revenue, I suppose, they couldn’t make it pencil out, no way no how. the 1950s and 1960s were the peak Magazine era, I think. Energy costs, monetary inflation, dollar devaluations did a lot of things in during the 1970s

Two weeks ago I made a small, dumb joke on the ONT, which cob MH took badly, apparently personally.
That was bad enough, but he added that he was 'sick of [my] $#!+,' suggesting I had some history of giving him $#!+ or somehow stirring $#!+ on the board, or something, which was news to me. (And then our respected and loved cob emeritius retired, again. Hm.)
I may not be one of the gold-card Morons, nor have any expertise to contribute, nor even be noticed if I'm around or not, but I had thought I have been around long enough, and jocularly enough, to be understood as a harmless cardboard-card Moron in fair if not good standing.
This accusation dampened my enjoyment of the blog, expecially in participating (about which I've always been shy almost to the point of paranoia), so I took a two-week lurk break.
If I ever seem to be giving anyone grief, I didn't mean it. "I meant the other way" as the punchline goes.
Sorry to burden the ONT with this. Nuff said.

But don't forget that if you made $5k a year you were doing good. The past had much less stuff, too. Even in the late 60s early 70s working class neighborhood.. one TV and one used car per family was the norm where I was..nobody flew anywhere and McDonald's once a month was a big treat. But nobody's mom worked and dad didn't have to be a manager to pay for everything, and if you never had something and neither do all your friends, you don't miss it.

My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 202
. I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing.
I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America.
Just. Fuck. I hope Rubio is prepping his assault on this fuckitting mountain of lies.

@JackStraw I moved to Boston in the mid 80s for college and it was a great time. The city was still a bit shabby but climbing, and you could shop in great thrift stores and find cheap diners. The clubs in Kenmore Square were great fun, and the bottom end of Newbury Street was all used bookstores and record stores. I used to buy my art supplies at a hole in the wall store by Mass. Ave.

Mom was a 1950's housewife, with five kids, and did absolutely everything she couldn't make us do. She worked a glamour job at Northwest Orient Airlines in Seattle until she married. After that, no more job.
Then along came the 1970's, the youngest was in third grade, and she went back to work running my father's engineering practice. Women's liberation and all that. Plus, we were old enough to run most of the house and garden and were pressed into service to do so. Both folks took off two weeks during moose hunting season to: get the moose, process the moose, freeze the moose, make the sausage, etc. All hands on deck.
I remember taking exactly one real vacation, when my oldest sister went off to college.

My mother always told us if we heard voices calling us from the back of the property to come to them that we should never heed the voices (which seems a strange thing to hear as an adult, but as a kid, we just accepted it).
When I was maybe 12 years old, the next younger brother (around 9 years old) and I were outside playing, 100ft or so from the house. Suddenly we BOTH heard to voice of our mother calling us from far away...from the back of the property, more than 500' away...saying, "[my first name]...[my brother's first name]...Come...Here...Right...Now!...". We both looked at each other and said, frightened, "Did you hear that?"...
We ran to the house and found our mother cooking at the stove, and when we asked if she had called us (but we knew the voices had NOT come from the house), she said, she hadn't, as she'd been cooking...

Just like my wife laughed at my misfortunes, at least my personal ones. She also found stories about my ancestors amusing, and LOLed when I told her the pieced-together story of the ancestor that had a wife and a side woman (my ancestor), and when the wife died, had kids with three sisters, marrying one in the end. When the church wrote in their Marriage Investigation for the marriage to one of the sisters, it mentioned a kid with each sister, and wrote [roughly translated] that "At least he isn't living with the other two..."

Well, I'll tell you this chilling story told to me by my Mother...
When I was small (no older than a year or so), she told us how she felt this evil presence, so prayed so that it would go away. She heard a low growl, then one of the dairy goats (who was in a pen) screamed...it's utter had been clawed deeply by something, and blood and milk were dripping out; the goat had to be put down. Now, it's possible this was a mountain lion, but none had been seen since years earlier my Dad had used a backhoe to bury in a mud cave at the back of the property one had supposedly been using.

Oldest got a personal record therein; he excels on hilly courses, and he moved up from 6 or 7th place (regularly) to 5th, which caused his time to be scored for the team.
It was bittersweet for me, because I got to know a few of the seniors who'd really worked hard to get there, and I felt bad at the unfortunate turn of events. But It's kind of a big deal for the oldest to have been 5th as a freshman (10th overall in State in his division).

The Wifey and I were bummed at missing this year's TX MoMe, but had an amazing time in Israel for two weeks -- including getting baptized in the Jordan River (near the spot where the Israelites crossed over that River and John the Baptist baptized Yeshua) by a Messianic Jewish Rabbi (somwhat known for being associated with and a spiritual consultant for "The Chosen").

Puff and Ruth got to be house dogs this morning; that is, they were allowed to wander around the downstairs.
Puff was a concern because she's psychotic, never having learned manners as a puppy. But both were surprisingly good and well behaved.

Puff lost her mother when she was three weeks old. Puppies learn a great deal about how to behave from their mothers. Without the education, she's something of a wild child. While she was curious about things, Puff was a good girl while she was loose.

No, there are no other types of platypus; the duck-billed platypus is the sole living representative of its genus and family.
The name platypus is the official common name, and duck-billed is merely a descriptive adjective added in folklore to characterize its appearance, not to distinguish it from other species.
While the common name implies a duck-like bill, the animal's actual bill is soft, leathery, and skin-covered, containing roughly 40,000 electroreceptors for hunting, which is structurally distinct from a bird's hard, keratinized beak. Early European scientists initially mistook the specimen for a hoax, believing a duck's bill had been sewn onto a mammal, but it was confirmed to be a genuine, unique mammal.

I haven’t had one since I was a little kid, but my nephew had one for several years, who would spend 75% of his time outside. He would occasionally want to see what people were up to, like sitting on the desk right in front of the monitor while I was doing something on their computer.
He also warmed up to me enough to want to come sit in my lap to be petted after a few years of getting to know me.
But the majority of the time that cat was off doing his own thing until he got hungry and then he’d let you know it if you were late filing his bowl.

What type is it? If it is the oldstyle Whirlpool / Amana direct drive, first check the door switch, then if it hums instead of going into drain, it could be either
1) a sock caught in the pump jamming the motor
2) the coupler between the motor and the transmission has borked itself and possibly the drive shaft - you will hear the motor spin and nothing happening
3) the transmission is borked. This may be the main plastic transmission gear is stripped out, though it is more likely the neutral gear assembly.
There is also the possibility that the condenser is bad, but that rarely happens.
try . . . turning it off for 10 minutes, unplugging it, and then plug it back in, pull the knob back out, and then rock it back on the back legs and let it drop an inch or two to see if that will bump start it.
A repair is between 20 bucks and 200, plus the service call, so it might be better to get it fixed.
Then again, it might be electronic, and I can't help you. You may have to get it exorcised.

Venezuela was centralized in Maduro, his head of the Militia, His security chief, and a network of generals who made the drugs and embargoed oil run on time to finance the military and the network of cartels that ran into Colombia - most of the drugs were being shipped to Europe, where I am told now that the cost of blow is unpleasantly high.
Snatching Maduro and blowing up the fastboats blew that one up.
Iran is decentralized in its "mosaic defense" and it is more like winkling out each bitter ender who is acting now like a warlord, each one.

Check the warranty for Speed Queen machines before buying one.
Family members called for service after a bad problem with a washer which was not old.
They were told using bleach voids the warranty and it would cost more to repair it than the cost of a new one.

Trump:
"Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached." 🔥

Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights
They include:
- SB 80: Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
- HB 173 and others: FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21
- HB 712: Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections
- HB 613: Background checks on private gun sales
- HB 659: Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines
HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders."

Life is good and I felt good this am. Walked miles with my favorite sister-in-law in the foothills when I got texted the above msg.
However, IF President Trump does indeed give amnesty and stop deporting. IF he is giving Sec Hegseth the boot; I guess depression will finally meet me briefly.
I will go throw rocks at squirrels or something.
I spent an hour talking to #2 son who is the most like me and my father. Both sons are funny but this one, oh, boy. He's the one who could not sit next to me in church or at funerals as we think the same when something happens.
I was telling him about the Honey Boo Boo weak branch of family tree, recent sightings, and he was laughing. Then he asked if they will be at the future funeral and I said, "Oh, probably."

My brothers and I have always reached a point where we are "normal." Aka, laughing inappropriately.
We are now seeing our very independent mother become our 95yr old grandmother. It is freaky, this same path she's taking.
He said he could hear her yelling in the background that, "I"m going NOWHERE" when an x-ray was mentioned. She'll complain of her pain scale being 8 while she's eating & watching tv laughing. It was explained to her in both the hospital & rehab.
We have no problem with her taking as many drugs as she wants, altho it is confusing she walked with PT in rehab (as grandmother did) & refuses now.
We also have no problem with her staying in bed.
While I hope I won't live this long (my husband and sons all say they can make this happen), she was 100% mentally competent a few weeks ago & no one is going to stop her from doing what she wants.
She was very jolly with her grandson (our boy) and great-grands yesterday on the phone, for example. hic

Ooof -- I hope he's not stepping down. Rumor is that Trump blames him for the Iran war continuing.
Mary Margaret OlohanSome Republicans are calling for a delay in the elections for Senate leadership -- to give challengers to John Thune the chance to announce their candidacies and start lobbying.
@MaryMargOlohan NEWS: Pete Hegseth tells reporters he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon tomorrow morning.
Sen. Dave McCormick (Pa.), a more moderate Republican from a key battleground state, is endorsing a call by conservative Senate GOP colleagues to delay the party's leadership elections scheduled for Tuesday. "As I've shared with Leader Thune, I don't believe we should move to leadership elections until we have digested and debated the lessons of the midterms and how to move forward," McCormick wrote late Sunday in a statement. "We need leadership in place fast, but Tuesday is too soon." "I know it's been the practice to go straight to leadership elections in recent years, but we should not rush it," he added. The Pennsylvania Republican called last week's midterm election "the worst election result" for Republicans "in decades." "We need a discussion about what went wrong, how we fix it, what we stand for, and how our agenda must focus on the concerns of the American people," he wrote online.The DOJ is investigating Hillary Clinton's chief conspiracy theorist for rigging the Alaska election with a fake candidate.
key Russiagate lawyer known for his bare-knuckle election and legal tactics has landed at the center of the alleged Democrat plot in the Alaska Senate race to recruit a decoy candidate to siphon votes from their Republican opponent. Marc Elias departed from the Perkins Coie law firm in 2021 and set up his own firm, catering to Democratic Party candidates. About the same time, the Justice Department was investigating its role in the Steele Dossier and its Trump-Russia collusion allegations, and he could face questions about the role his law firm played in representing multiple participants in the alleged scheme to recruit the candidate known as "Decoy Dan" in the Alaska race and whether there was any illegal coordination under federal election law. Elias and his firm, Elias Law Group, were named in the explosive pre-election New York Times report on how campaign officials for Alaska's Democratic senatorial candidate Mary Peltola coordinated with Democratic operatives and aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to recruit the decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name is nearly identical to incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan.

So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country.
Helen Andrews was right.
15 years after taking student loans, men have paid them down substantially compared to women who have barely made a dent. Lower pay, longer career exits, and especially the 2007 Public Service Loan Forgiveness racket which erases the debt for employees of nonprofits or a 501(c)(3). So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country. If these women had to pay for their own education with their own careers instead of offloading it onto everyone else, they surely wouldn’t outnumber men on campus.— Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) November 5, 2026

Well, we certainly annihilated Iran's military and leadership with minimal losses, so from a narrow lens, it looks good. The bigger question is- what did Hegseth and the senior staff predict would happen. If the intel they pitched was Iran would collapse or negotiate quickly, and they didn't, which led to the war dragging on, or maybe issues with munitions management slowing the prosecution of the war to drag it out...I can see Hegseth rightfully getting the blame.

He is the guy in charge of the Pentagon, and he seems to have a very hands-on approach there.
And, from what I understand, he did push hard for attacking Iran.
If Hegseth had gotten a hold of the Strait a lot quicker we might not be here right now. I think that, and depending on the Kurds to start a rebellion inside Iran, were what has led to the current impasse.

If you read left leaning forums landlords all bought their secondary properties via inheriting wealth and spend $0 on maintaining properties and only charge rent because they want renters to be poor.

Its counterintuitive, but if you're like an Exxon, you want the government that makes oil expensive and limits supply. They're not wildcatting new oil fields, they already own them.

That could be it.
I do get the feeling Trump felt it was a 'now or never' situation, perhaps because of intel from Iran and also Bibi wanting to go now.
Also Trump had to know the incumbent's party has very little chance of winning in congress at the mid-term, he lived through the 2018 election already, and he had to know it might be rougher this time around.
So he went now, so he wouldn't have to wait and deal with a Dem congress.

But that’s the thing it’s not real depreciation. The values of my rentals increase every year, while I get to take a depreciation expense. According to the IRS, a building only lasts 27.5 years so every year 1/27.5 of the value of the building is depreciated.

With any cabinet nominations for the next 2 years, Trump shouldn't nominate anyone. Just tell the given department heads "this is my friend Ojibwo. He's a coked up child soldier from the Congo. You will carry out Ojibwo's orders to the letter, or you will be reassigned to latrine mainentenance at an under-construction government building in the desert until I find someone who will."
Ojibwo can then issue simple orders like "win this war, Ojibwo commands it," or "bring me the skull of Ilhan Omar, but turned into a pimp chalice for Ojibwo's drank," and so forth.

He's already said no amnesty.
Trump is coming to terms with the fact that the Dems gained an upper hand on immigration because of their tactics in Minnesota which ended up getting two of their protesters killed.
That did not play well in Peoria, apparently.
Trump is, I believe, going for a more low-key approach to ICE enforcement, instead of these big city-wide operations that brought so much heat to the situation.
That doesn't mean Trump is going to bend over and take it from the Dems on immigration.
Blame the rest of the GOP in Congress for not putting Trump's immigration policy into law (like making "Catch & Release" illegal) instead of the executive orders he's had to issue to get the job done. That alone is more of problem in the future than anything you imagine Trump is doing.

Instead of launching large-scale, prolonged new ground invasions, his administration shifted toward drawing down legacy conflicts while relying heavily on elite special operations forces, air strikes, cyber capabilities, and an extensive global drone campaign.

And I don't mean taking out the mullahs and the IRGC, I mean taking out Pickaxe mountain or any other nuclear-related installation until there is nothing left of their program.
That is the reason we got into this war, and I can go for that, no problem, but Trump's got to finish that part at least, and then let the Iranian people figure the rest out.

Diesel went over $6 mainly because of the attacks on Russia, not Iran.
Oil is priced globally in two prices, WTI here and the Americas, and Brent as the international standard.
Trump could have put out a temporary diesel export ban here in America to lower our prices, but that would have been highly disruptive to our producers and would have sent international prices to the moon, especially in Europe.

If he views hegseth as a traitor that "tricked" him into a war, then Susie wiles is doubly a traitor. She manipulated him behind the scenes for other people's interests. That is becoming clear. And blocked true MAGA people from having access to Trump. Thankfully miller won't behave the same.

Go back to March and look at an interview Rubio gave for the reason for the attack on Iran. They knew that Iran was just developing nukes but an enormous drone and missile inventory they would use to make Iran a nightmare for the region and beyond. He explained it clearly and convincingly. One of his better moments.
If they waited to attack Iran would have had the tools to wage an enormous regional war with the threat of nukes behind it. In that interview Rubio gave the best reason the attack on Iran was necessary. It was either attack then and take down the mullahs or wait until an attack would have meant a much more consequential response likely including ground troops.
The biggest mistake Trump made was not speaking directly and continuously to the American people and telling them this over and over.

But mapping PDJT approval against the war timing, you see Trump's approval was knocked way down at the war start and never recovered.
I think Trump's reputation as the "peace President" was a big plus to him and a political advantage. And he never effectively communicated why he decided to go into war and why then, why not wait until after the midterms and build political support beforehand.
Water under the bridge now, and not even the real problem, since the do-nothing GOPe is the worst problem, but it was (IMO) a peoblem.

In Red Dawn the Russians had to parachute into the middle of the country.
Tanner elaborates on the military sequence of the invasion:
- The first wave of the Soviet attack arrived disguised as commercial charter flights, similar to the invasion of Afghanistan, deploying crack airborne paratroopers through mountain passes in the Rockies.
- This was coordinated with selective nuclear strikes that destroyed missile silos in the Dakotas and key communication hubs.
- Infiltrators (mostly Cuban) entered illegally from Mexico, opening the door for Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Latin American armies to roll up through the Great Plains.
- The Soviets reinforced with 60 divisions, crossing the Bering Strait into Alaska to cut the oil pipeline and moving down through Canada to link up in the middle of the country.

Nephew of Hardcore Black Racist Leonard Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, Says Democrats Won't Work with Trump's New CoS Stephen Miller Because He Gives Them the Ick
They just want to make eggs more affordable.
Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that his party will not work with Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" Nov. 8. "There's not going to be any opportunity, certainly, to work with Stephen Miller and what he represents," Jeffries said. Miller was tapped to replace former chief of staff Susie Wiles on Nov. 6 and will step into the role on Nov. 9. He is a long-time advisor to Trump, dating back to his first term, and the top architect of the Trump administration's anti-immigration crackdown.I just want to point out that this racist grifter's racist grifter uncle pushed the most absurd of black racist conspiracy theories and antisemitc claims. But he worked with Uncle Leo.
The president of City College said yesterday that he considered Dr. Leonard Jeffries Jr.'s conduct "racist" and "anti-Semitic," but had decided not to dismiss him as chairman of the black studies department because it would "deepen the sense of crisis on campus." The president, Dr. Bernard W. Harleston, said Dr. Jeffries's dismissal would have produced "conflict," both within the college, where the faculty senate is insistent upon the principle of academic freedom, and in the Harlem community around the college where Dr. Jeffries has supporters. Still, Dr. Harleston said, Dr. Jeffries's behavior was "particularly offensive to me." He said he told Dr. Jeffries that, but declined to disclose the conversation. In an hourlong interview, Dr. Harleston provided the first extended explanation of his handling of Dr. Jeffries, whose speeches and comments have set off a widespread and emotional debate both about the correctness of his claims and his right to make them in the name of academic freedom. Dr. Jeffries attracted public attention with a speech at a state-sponsored cultural conference in Albany in July. In that speech, he accused Jews of financing the slave trade and disparaged Russian Jewry for Hollywood's portrayal of blacks. He also described a colleague as City College's "head Jew" and described Diane Ravitch, an assistant United State Secretary of Education, as a "sophisticated Texas Jew."The New York Times, of course, refuses to tell its readers exactly what this hateful racist was ignorantly preaching. The defunct liberal propaganda magazine Time showed a little leg on Jeffries' claims:
The professor offered the following observations: -- "Russian Jewry had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a financial system of destruction of black people." This was "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood" by "people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani . . ." -- "Rich Jews" operating in Seville and Lisbon and Hamburg and Newport, R.I., and other cities financed the African slave trade. -- Whites are "pathological," "dirty," "dastardly, devilish folks." Leonard Jeffries, chairman of African-American studies at New York's City College, put on a surreal performance. For long stretches of his speech before an Empire State Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany last month, Jeffries made an intense and affecting case for blacks to study African history and learn the buried side of their own stories in America. But he kept veering obsessively back into a snarling racism. Strange to watch: the intelligent angels of his nature were wrestling with nasty little cretins. The cretins won a few rounds. Diane Ravitch, Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education, is a "sophisticated Texas Jew," Jeffries said, "a debonair racist." He repeatedly called her "Miss Daisy." Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who has written against Afrocentrism, is "a weakling . . . slick and devilish." White people, including "very nice white folks," "distort history in what I call racial pathology. They are as diabolical as that." Jeffries sang out falsetto imitations of various Jews and other whites, manic little strokes of mockery and emasculation. Through it all, he invoked the liberating powers of truth. When he was finished, the audience gave him a rather tired standing ovation. He had gone on for almost two hours.Whenever you hear ignorant black fake academics talking about melanin granting blacks superpowers, or claiming it was really blacks who built the pyramids but then rewrote history to deny them credit for the wonders of the ancient world -- that all comes from Jeffries and his completely-fabricated alt-history conspiracy theory "Afrocentrism." Meanwhile, via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit. the Very Smart and Educated left is digging up dirt on Stephen Miller, including the scandalous fact that he was skeptical of the Duke Rape Hoax claims. These very smart members of the Reality Based Community somehow missed the word "hoax" in "Duke Rape Hoax."

Mariam Odeh, a former staffer on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, is currently facing federal charges alongside 11 other anti-Israel activists accused of vandalizing the homes of members of Michigan’s Jewish and pro-Israel community and plotting to poison and murder them and their families.
Jars containing noxious chemicals were thrown into family homes. Windows were smashed. Homes were marked with the Hamas red inverted triangle, designating them as targets for death. One of the accused allegedly threatened to slowly poison a victim once he became a doctor. This would never happen, but imagine if a Jewish staffer for a Jewish candidate targeted Muslims like this. There would be national outrage and we wouldn’t hear the end of it. It would be the end of their campaign and career. Unfortunately, the extreme violence and terrorism of the pro-Palestinian movement and the threat of Islam have been completely normalized in America.— Dr. Maalouf (@realMaalouf) November 2, 2026

Miller and family live on a military base because they wouldn't be safe living out in the world. Senior presidential advisor, now chief of staff (and he/his family aren't the only Trump admin. senior people who have to shelter on military facilities, unable to live in the regular world).
Of course rivers of blood cover the idiot Dems (and their voters, and much of the garbage GOP) here. How many 10s of thousands (100s?) of murders, assaults, rapes, etc committed by illegal aliens who not only shouldn't be here at all, but are sheltered by Dem electeds, cowardly/useless "law enforcement", et al. Released from jail time and again, ICE detainers ignored.
Miller & Co. - simply enforcing the law. Idiots and illegals resisting arrest/interfering with LE get treated just as they are in any other situation. Their blood is on their *own* hands, obviously.

I guess I'm not surprised that black racists would assume everyone in Africa is black. It is not like they have ever visited or moved there, but it remains their talisman that keeps them from facing reality. Pssst--don't tell them Cleopatra was Greek. That might cause their heads to explode.

If blacks in Sub-Saharan Africa built the pyramids, then what happened to them since then?
I suppose it's colonialism and the African slave trade (mostly from West Africa) that ruined them?
Tribalism is Africa's main problem, and it's still a major problem for Africans today.

Well africans do actually own slavery at least the slaves that went to the British empire and the Americas.
Those slaves most certainly did gather together and walk up to the slave ships at the docks to turn themselves in. They were rounded up by their stronger black brother tribes and sold to the evil white man.
Black Africans own the American slave trade lock stock and barrel.

Don't tell them that it was African blacks who sold African blacks to slave traders. There were no white slave hunters in Africa, because they would end up dead. Probably shouldn't tell them that both American blacks and American Indians owned slaves. I'd hate them to have a reality meltdown. That would be terrible, just terrible.

OMG, this stupidity is an article-of-faith for many black people.
Though... if you want to see what happens when blacks *do* actually build pyramids, go look up the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors.
But beware: this is a hilarious and horrifying (I will call it hilorrifying) rabbit hole... the UNNM was their final form when Dr. Malachi got shipped off to the Supermax to live with the terrorists and mass murderers for the rest of his life. But they (and he) had many names, going back to the 1970s.
Real buck wild shit.
I know a Nuwaubian Moor personally. Through it all, he keeps the faith. Still has his Certificate of Nuwaubian Moor-ness framed on his wall.

Cultural Appropriation.
Hippocrates (5th century BC) in Airs, Waters and Places argued that cold regions produced hardy and fierce people, warm regions produced different temperaments.
Aristotle: Europeans courageous, Asians intelligent but less spirited, Greeks occupied middle ground.
Montesquieu, Ellsworth Huntington, Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel) also oriented ethnic differences due to climate.

Which makes some sense in a specific way.
The harsh winters of Europe forced whites to cooperate in extraordinary ways to survive through the winter.
Meanwhile people in warmer climes had a lot less to worry about, when they could just walk over to the nearest fruit tree and eat dinner, along with plentiful game to hunt nearly year-round.
That part, I can agree with to an extent.
But Jeffries' Melatonin theory making blacks superior is straight out of the Hitler & KKK playbook.
He started out with a decent theory but turns it into complete racial eugenics propaganda.

Slavery wasn't the worst part of it.
They hung up slaughtered people in various states of disassembly around the palace of tribe leaders of "The Woman King". Dried and caked blood from pre-death torture all around.

Yep. Problem is that the state voted for democrats last week and that means huge tax increases along with new taxes across the board in the state. The governor elect is already talking an income tax along with a wealth tax and that is just the start.
We are going to see an almost immediate push in January to increase both the sales and gas taxes because those are low hanging fruit.

The smarter ones who've actually read a history book, know this.
But like all ideologues if the fact is inconvenient, then it's forgotten.
This is how we've gottne to the point today where the only people who've ever been enslaved on this planet are black West Africans transported to America.
When every half-way intelligent person knows that slavery has existed for tens of thousands of years.
America, itself, from Canada to Argentina had slavery long before Europeans ever arrived, because the natives were steady raiding each other and taking slaves.
And let's not even get into the Muslims and their centuries of slave trading. But nah, it must've been the Jews all along - who as we all know, were slaves in Egypt.

Montesquieu was a political opportunist and political theorist with little to back up his claims, and Jared Diamond is an ornithologist with a specialty in birds who live on isolated islands. Neither of them ever asked "why" without supposing they knew the answer first; both had the medieval view that "this is the nature of things and such may not be moved as such things are essential to being; changing their nature changes what they are, fundamentally"

Trump sounds conciliatory on immigration and Democrats immediately refuse to even speak with his team. Oh well, he tried. I guess it's back to deportations.

Rightly, or wrongly, the president usually take the blame or credit for the state of the economy.
I expect the economy, with all the headwinds behind it thanks to Trump's policies, will be quite decent in 2028.
Things could happen though, the AI bubble, or sovereign debt crisis around the world for starters.
I'll say, though, if the Republicans want to win the presidency and perhaps take back congress, the economy needs to be humming, and inflation needs to be tamed, with gas prices at a reasonable level.

For Jeffries, Schumer, and their ilk on both sides of the aisle, politics is a corporate job with better than average pay & benefits. They don’t care about us.

We are not responsible for Israel! They have healthcare and an education system because of our billions every year. Look around Hakeem, your own country needs that money!
Hakeem has to go. Since the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of the house I vote Stacy Abrams.
A bit astroturfed but I wish he talked about reperations for black people with half as much passion as he does about israel's right to exist.
I wish someone would challenge him for Speaker of the House. This man makes my skin crawl. Also, I recently found a 5000 year old book and it says that land belongs to me. God ordained it. I was chosen. How do I go about kicking everyone out? Genocide? No problem.

IIRC, all of the aid sent to Israel was purely military.
It took me exactly 30 seconds to look this up:
$3.8 billion annually is the standard baseline amount of U.S. foreign aid provided to Israel under the current 2019–2028 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
This annual total is structured as follows:
$3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants, which must be used to purchase U.S.-made military equipment.
$500 million specifically designated for joint missile defense programs

Finally: Businesses Drop Sponsorship of Vile Ugly Hag Jennifer Welch After She Celebrates the Murder of Charlie Kirk (For About the Fifth Time)
Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets said on Friday that they no longer sponsor or advertise leftist Jennifer Welch's I've Had It podcast, according to company statements and customer service messages shared online amid backlash. Cash App condemned violence in announcing it was no longer sponsoring the show. Chewy and Lola Blankets addressed their ties to the podcast in responses shared by customers, while Boll & Branch publicly ruled out future advertising. Their statements did not all specify when the sponsorships ended. "We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast," Cash App wrote on X in response to a user who tagged the company and called for a boycott over its sponsorship of the episode. "Does Cashapp support the mocking of a murder victim?" the user asked. Chewy said it was no longer connected to the podcast in a customer service response shared by X user Val Candee. "I do want to clarify that Chewy is no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the 'I've Had It' podcast," the representative wrote.
... The hosts had been discussing posts mocking conservative positions on abortion, vaccines, and transgender issues when Welch reached the comment about Kirk. Before reading it, she praised the people writing the posts and said their jokes made her feel patriotic. "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again," Welch read. Both hosts lowered their heads and laughed for more than 20 seconds.
In related entertainment news: People have been wondering when James Gunn would be fired as co-president of DC's film division after the divisive Superman and unifying Supergirl. (It unified people in contempt.) People thought that Gunn's move to put the Superman sequel in production early would keep him in the job at least through the film's release. In the industry, this is called the Kathleen Kennedy Gambit. But the gambit didn't work for Gunn.
DC Studios Shocker: James Gunn, Peter Safran Stepping Down with Marvel Alum Jeremy Latcham to Take Over The duo were believed to be safe amid the Skydance takeover of Warner Bros., but now have a former Kevin Feige protege taking over their division. In a major shakeup that will send shock waves throughout Hollywood and the comic book world, James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-CEOs of DC studios. Skydance, which now oversees the division thanks to its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, has appointed former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham to the post of president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. Gunn and Safran are stepping down from their leadership roles effect Dec. 1, four years after taking over the job to much fanfare. The duo released three movies during that time (Superman, Supergirl and Clayface), as well as three live-action TV shows (The Penguin, Peacemaker season 2 and Lanterns), and had a decade's worth of plans in the works. In an Instagram post in which he talked about the highs and lows at DC, Gunn acknowledged that being an exec was "trying, to say the least." He added: "I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job (thanks to Peter for taking the brunt of that.)." The duo will still be in the fold creatively, at least on a few projects, as Gunn has Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow in post-production for a planned release next year, with the TV spinoff The People v. Gorilla Grodd also in post. Gunn and Safran remain producers on The Batman: Part II as well, for a 2028 release date. With their executive days done, the plan is for them to return full time to their creative work. Gunn rose to fame as the blockbuster filmmaker behind Guardians of the Galaxy, while Safran is a prolific producer on numerous DC and horror titles. Gunn revealed in his Instagram post Monday that he is writing one more secret DC movie, and that the characters they set up will live on beyond them. "James and Peter launched a new era for DC Studios and led it through a period of real transformation, resetting the foundation and building a slate we're incredibly proud of," Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz said jointly in a statement. "We're grateful for their passion, contributions and commitment to this legendary brand." ... Per Skydance, Latcham will lead DC's film, television and animation slate, overseeing the creative pipeline, along with production, talent and strategy. ... The exit now puts into question the vast plans the duo announced when they took over and tried to steer the DC movies beyond the long shadow cast by the Zack Snyder era. Gunn and Safran started off with the successful launch of a new Superman movie last year but then stumbled big with Supergirl, a critical and commercial bomb. Their third movie, Clayface, has generated strong reviews and is a moneymaker.So the guy who greenlit the racist replacement fantasy "Lanterns" is now out. Good.

Exactly. This little episode is anodyne, by these bitches' standards. The skinnier hag has repeatedly burst into explosive, threatening tirades celebrating the murder and demanding more blood.
Why now? And over this?
My guess: these sponsors have known about their toxicity fir awhile, and were comfortable with it. But midterms are over, and podcasts like theirs are about to lose a lot of steam, with their audience assuaged and no longer seeking Level-11 Nuclear Ragebait.
So it's a convenient excuse to bail before the ad $$$ are wasted, and do a little vurtue signaling, when they were planning to dump the show next month anyway.

I often point out to lefties that should their side lose completely, they would still be encouraged to pursue their beliefs as they saw fit. Nobody from the opposition would keep them from doing the work they deem 'good'.
However, if they were to win completely, nobody else would be free to pursue their own beliefs or goals.

Miller and his family live on a military base, for security. He's not the only administration official who can't live normally - it's a very Third World, war-zone thing.
Yet it's perfectly uncontroversial to incite further with this vile libel. How many 10s of thousands of murders, serious assaults, rapes, etc committed by illegal alien criminals - most of them just let in to the country, protected from ICE even after convicted for a crime, released again and again - have there been, which blood is entirely on the hands of the Dems engaging in this incitement (and their voters, and complicit GOP human garbage).
In many ways, an unrecognizable shithole of a country.

The first "Guardians" film I saw in the theatre, and was underwhelmed. It was okay -- but there were so many opportunities for *really* funny dialog, esp. with the raccoon character. The movie squandered that.
Nobody in H'wood can write funny dialog any more. Or maybe some people can, but their work is not making it to the screen.

Absolute rubbish, they have no need to apologize and I’m so angered that they did. They usually stand on business.
They didn't originate the joke, and when the killing happened, they were extremely clear that they were opposed to all gun violence in any form.
Meanwhile mainstream media Fox hosts joked about Paul Pelosi being attacked in his home, so maybe everyone holds some responsibility for the current discourse.

It never occurs to Dave that there is no real analogy between those two guys. One is a career criminal, the other is a civil right advocate. If he wanted something closer, where the government arguably executed someone then he could have picked the guy ICE shot, or the J woman who was shot etc... but you still have the fact the fat tub of violence and goo drugged himself to death while the others were trying to protest what they saw as an injustice. He conflates committing injustice with protesting it.
Dave's intention there was to make people hurt in the way he hurt when someone went after Saint Floyd... which tells you a LOT about Dave. White people would think the same of both Floyd and Charlie regardless of their races, but with Dave it is ALL tribal.

Now presuming the boyfriend was crazy with the sex abuse stuff, yeah, he should go to jail and no one should be allowed to assault anyone else with a hammer.
But I'll also point out we have just as much evidence Paul Pelosi is a rapist as the last half dozen publicized sex crimes that led to convictions.

Eh My brother has moved so here goes...Dave Chappelle is a fucking fraud on Race he lived in Yellow Springs Ohio as white bread as they come....my Brother lived about three blocks but by a trick of geography around the corner from Chappelle's property....
Chappelle was a man child, it looked like the most Pee Wee Herman place you could imagine it was up on Zillow for years for I think it was 7.75 million?> He bought it for ~ 275000 IIRC back in the day and hell yeah he improved it some for a neurotic nutjob with easy money.
Anyway they were not best buddies or anything but he was not "hood" at all, he was not particularly an asshole, he was just there....he ordered HaHa Pizza (my brother worked there) he would go shop on occasion at Dark Star comics, but Chappelle is not "BLACK MAN" he is surrounded by hippies and runs into town in Dayton, Springfield, and Cincy from time to time and when MaRon James was in Cleveland would go up there and catch the cavs.....
He has a lot of money but he blows a lot of money, he is funny but a lot of Ohio is funny.
He moved on from Yellow Springs and he is not terribly missed.

Kirk died because of a cabal of lefties planned out an assassination (it wasn't just tranny chaser boy)
Goode died because she tried to run over a cop.
Pretti died because he assaulted a cop and when they went to arrest him his loaded firearm fell out of his pants and went off leading the cops to shoot him.
So the first was a standard political assassination that the US hasn't had since...Lincoln?
The second was a good shoot.
The third was accidental but the blame goes to Pretti - any firearms instructor will tell you not to bring a gun if you plan on starting a fight

He is structurally incapable of telling Kal-El's story since Kal-El is not that story.

@MrsErikaKirk
To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

Chappelle is another story entirely. What a POS. I guess because he grew up suburban among white people, he thinks he has to be black supremacist to prove his creds, or some such shit. He is mostly just an ass, and not particularly funny. Ron White is also an ass, but he isn't a racist, and he is, actually, funny. Chappelle should figure out that alienating 85% of his audience by bad-mouthing them is not likely to continue any success he has had so far.
Chappelle is just another source of melanin fatigue.

The part of Superman I find a hardest to believe is that they reverse engineered an alien media and retrieved the garbled part, to unearth the Krypton Uber Alles message.
However, I thought it was an interesting dramatic treatment of that scenario, and how, Kal El was a son of Kansas, no matter the sins of the Father.
I liked the Snyder Man of Steel exploration as well, and dealing with the idea of Superman as an alien threat.
But I think if they combined the two speculations, that would be WAY overkill.

Yeah... I should lay an early bet on a hung jury. Easy money. Someone on that jury will see that furry homo as a freedom fighter. Likely at least 3-4 will.
If the Clancy case had 11 jurors voting to acquit, I don't think there's a great deal of likelihood Robinson will be convicted. They just saw Clancy as a feminist hero, not the children as villains. But I bet the odds don't reflect that reality.

Chappelle was on it when Floyd OD'd while in police custody, talking about how Floyd HAD to be the tallying point for blacks. All I could think was, dude died with fentanyl stuffed up his ass, go on and make a statue of him.
As to Charlie Kirk, Yuddishira up above has the right of it I think. The vitriol worked to get their base excited and now that blog traffic goes back to nothing, corporations can pretend to have a conscience.
But here's the absolute lesson, political violence worked. They killed a couple, their base got the blood lust and then they went out and voted them into office.
Remember 14 months ago, what with all the conservatives telling calling all the left wingers who celebrated a bunch of sickos,? Well, I guess gas got expensive so now the sickos won a whole lot of power last week. Go figure

A gay furry Leftist twink murders Charlie Kirk for routinely defeating liberals in debate. The American Left uniformly cheers.
Donald Trump is hit by an assassin's bullet at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. There are several more attempts on his life. The American Left mourns the failure of their assassins, and cheers the prospect of more to come.

Antifa Bike Group "Bike on Your Left" Leads Leftists in Protest/Boycott Against Israeli Embassy Restaurants Just Owned by Jews
Remember, they're not antisemitic. They have nothing against Jews, nothing!
They just hate Israel. Ask Tuq'r and Me-Again. Except... in a pinch, "protesting" Jews simply for owning restaurants will do in a pinch. Oh, and they might have maybe scheduled this totally-not-antisemitic pogrom for the eve of Kristallnacht. Coincidentally.In some small good news, people supported the restaurants, stopping in to eat or buy gift cards to eat there later, and the antifa antisemites were well-opposed bu non-Nazis.
Three people were arrested Sunday, according to a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Police Department, as about 300 pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with roughly 200 pro-Israeli counterprotesters. Those arrested included a woman on an assault charge, a man on a disorderly conduct charge and a 17-year-old on an assault-on-police charge, according to the spokesperson. Meanwhile, some of the restaurants targeted by the boycott were seeing long lines of customers supporting. By early afternoon, all demonstrators had dispersed, police said, with no property damage reported. On Oct. 31, the group announced plans to boycott what it called "Zionist establishments" in Rittenhouse Square in solidarity with the Palestinian community. Half of the establishments targeted are owned by the Philadelphia restaurant group CookNSolo, whose Israeli co-owners have publicly supported and raised money for Israel. The restaurant group has already been the target of a local "Boycott CookNSolo" campaign that says it protests the restaurateurs for "materially and ideologically support[ing] the ongoing occupation and genocide of Palestinians."
Arrests made, officers injured as massive counter-protests met 'bike boycott' in Rittenhouse Square
A planned "bike boycott" targeting six Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square was met with an overwhelming counter-demonstration. The boycott drew sharp criticism for taking place on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht. Despite heated shouting between the boycotters and the pro-business crowds, the demonstrations remained largely peaceful, with three arrests. PHILADELPHIA - Tensions ran high in Rittenhouse Square on Sunday as a planned "bike boycott" targeting Jewish-owned businesses was met with an overwhelming counter-demonstration, drawing massive crowds of patrons who lined the streets. ... In response, a massive community food crawl was organized, resulting in lines that wrapped around city blocks. At Huda, one of the targeted businesses, the outpouring of support was so large that a restaurant partner noted they might not have enough food to feed everyone in line. He encouraged the crowd to return on other days of the week, reminding supporters that businesses need ongoing patronage rather than just a one-day surge. A planned bike rally targeting Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses in Philadelphia has drawn statewide condemnation, with police prioritizing safety. The atmosphere on the streets was highly charged. Participants in the bike boycott, some riding bicycles with their faces covered, others marching on foot, moved through Rittenhouse Square while facing vocal opposition from the pro-business counter-protesters. According to Philadelphia Police, approximately 300 pro-Palestinian demonstrators--including about 200 on bicycles--and 200 pro-Israeli counter-protesters gathered in the square starting around 11 a.m. Sunday, with even more lining the streets. ... There was significant shouting and confrontation between the two sides, and police did confirm three arrests: an adult female for assault, an adult male for disorderly conduct and a 17-year-old male for assault on police. ... Two officers sustained minor injuries while assisting with an apprehension, though neither required medical treatment, police said. Additionally, a female counter-protester reported being assaulted by an unknown individual. ... Dig deeper: The timing of the boycott has drawn sharp criticism, as it was scheduled for the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, which is the 1938 Nazi pogrom that sparked nationwide anti-Jewish riots in Germany. Critics and counter-protesters called the timing deeply unsettling. The organizers of the boycott, however, claimed to be misrepresented. They described themselves as a nonviolent group exercising their First Amendment rights, stating that the connection to the Kristallnacht anniversary was a complete coincidence and that allegations to the contrary were "simply false."Uh-huh.
BREAKING: The Philly Bike Boycott has reportedly ended early because of the overwhelming number of counterprotestors who showed up.

But when ICE agents wear masks when enforcing the law, that's bad.......

This is encouraging for a few reasons. First, getting only 300 mutants to a hot-button protest in major blue city on a beautiful fall day is ... not impressive. It's shit.
You can probably get more than 300 people to a rally in Philly for International Dick Kick Day.
Second, the pro-Israel size was pretty good, and not much less than the mutants. I suspect these protestors were undercounted, and the mutants over-counted.

If it is the case and Texas ACTUALLY voted for this crap, we will reap it and there are already those that are planning to move, so get over it. The issue with pissing about moving is we're running VERY low on places to flee.....so at SOME point, it's required to stay and fight. Texas JUST NOW went to the dark side, with there being MANY discrepancies and irregularities in the election........Places like California, New York and Illinois have been blue shitholes for a LONG time, so getting out seems the only thing left.
I will be fighting against it, having already secured countryside in the middle of nowhere and will be working to fortify said position against the impending horde of locusts that are Democrats.

MA's big issue in '26 was allowing the democrat state auditor to audit the legislature
The governor/legislate/judicial branches all stopped in on bullshit technical grounds in '25 so the auditor and people in MA got a ballot initiative together to answer the supposed problems the state gave in stopping her.
It passed by almost 90-10. In the same election those voters also re-elected all the people that stopped the audit.
You'll be shocked to know those same elected officials have already said they are still not going to allow an audit.

Three men of the cloth are describing their problems with mice in their respective houses of worship.
The minister says, "We had a revival meeting and lifted up our concerns to the Lord. But the mice came back."
The priest says, "We had a Rosary and asked Our Lady's intercession. But the mice came back."
The rabbi says, "I gave all the mice bar mitzvah and never saw any of them again."

A friend of mine is Christian, of Jewish ancestry. She has done a good job teaching her kids about Jewish traditions and heritage. But she told them they have to choose one holiday in December for presents, they can only get Christmas presents OR Hanukkah presents. They can't be greedy and have both. I think they all ended up picking Christmas, but she does light a menorah.

According to Reuters interview with migrant horde in Mexico (mostly Hondurans I think):
"Migrants told Reuters they foresaw a weakening of President Trump's anti-migrant policies after the midterm elections."
A good example of how body language and tone are critical in this area. Pointless and wildly inaccurate mollifying language such as that discussed this morning can have consequences. Oh well.

from the post:
The timing of the boycott has drawn sharp criticism, as it was scheduled for the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, which is the 1938 Nazi pogrom that sparked nationwide anti-Jewish riots in Germany.
Critics and counter-protesters called the timing deeply unsettling. The organizers of the boycott, however, claimed to be misrepresented. They described themselves as a nonviolent group exercising their First Amendment rights, stating that the connection to the Kristallnacht anniversary was a complete coincidence and that allegations to the contrary were "simply false."

The Europeans have just decided to go with "toss your daughters to these foreign barbarians or you are far-right."

One lane each way, traffic was OK and on street stores had adequate parking. They widened the street to two lanes each way which cut parking to stores so much that the small one's failed.
Within a year they painted bike lanes that cut traffic back to one lane. Cyclists continue to use the sidewalk for fear of death on the street.

I have accepted that the best that the black community will do is not show up to vote for the Democrats they'd otherwise vote for.
Same thing with Jews.
It's tribalism. They can't vote with "conservatives", because Jews convinced themselves that Christians were inherently antisemitic, and blacks equate "conservatism" with slavery.

That's what Messianic Jews profess. They keep the Law to the extent that any other Hebrew sect does. They read the Torah, and observe the traditions.
They just differ on whether or not Jesus is the Messiah.

After a Mass Shooting in Poland's Historic Krakow Square, the Left-Wing President Attempting a Coup Against the Right Claims the Shooter Was "Fascinated by Right-Wing Ideologies"
Euronews, translated from the original Polish by Google.
A former classmate says he seemed to be "living in his own world." As is common in cases of mass shooters, he annihilated his own family, and the cats, before shooting up strangers.
A seemingly ordinary 24-year-old from Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski had a gun permit, trained shooting and worked as a lathe. On November 7, he opened fire on people on the Krakow Main Market Square. It soon became apparent that his loved ones had [been murdered before the rampage at Krakow Square].
The tragedy on the Main Market Square in Krakow shocked Poland. On Saturday, November 7, shortly after 15.00, a black car of the brand Subaru appeared in the city center. The man driving it drove into the market plate and began shooting towards passers-by. People sought shelter in nearby restaurants, shops and tenement gates. Shortly after, the attacker moved through the streets of the city, followed by police patrols. The perpetrator was 24-year-old Michał Oksimski from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski. The man was shot during a police intervention and in critical condition was taken to hospital. He died Monday morning. Six people were killed in Krakow and more than a dozen were injured. In the course of further activities, the services discovered that on the same day in the family's apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski another tragedy occurred. The bodies of the 24-year-old's parents and younger sister were found there.
The EU whore and tyrant Tusk is attempting to claim he's a "right wing" shooter because of a single piece of evidence: He had a Gadsden flag.
During the activities of the services in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, the bodies of three people were revealed: 53-year-old father Michał Oksimski, 52-year-old mother and 21-year-old sister. They all had gunshot injuries. According to preliminary findings, their deaths occurred on Saturday 7 November, even before the 24-year-old arrived in Krakow. Investigators suspect that the same man is responsible for the killings of family members and the subsequent attack in the city centre. Two shot cats were also found in the apartment ... It is still not known what prompted the 24-year-old to kill his loved ones and carry out an attack on random people. The prosecution analyzes secured phones and electronic equipment. A spokesman for the National Prosecutor's Office said investigators had at least four phones found next to the man and in the car, as well as devices secured in his apartment. They are to help recreate preparations for the attack, determine motivation and possible inspirations.
One of the threads reviewed by investigators is whether he acted alone or whether someone could have helped him or influenced his decisions. At this stage, however, the prosecutor's office did not provide evidence of the participation of other people. The content and symbols found in its surroundings are also examined. According to media reports, the 24-year-old's room had a Gadsden flag, associated with, among other things, libertarian traffic in the United States. The prosecutor's office pointed out that this symbol has different meanings and its mere possession does not determine the ideological motives of the perpetrator.I'm not ready to take anyone's word for it about what this guy's politics were. Some accounts say he's an antifa "anarcho-communist" who hated Christianity and supported all of the typical Antifa causes:
Ben GrahamIs this just based on the Gadsden flag?
@BenGrahamUK 4h The entire narrative surrounding the Kraków terror attack has been thrown into serious doubt today. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski initially claimed killer Michał Oksinski was "fascinated by far right ideologies".
Now, a former schoolmate says Michał Oksiński showed no right wing tendencies, while a police source has reportedly suggested he may actually have held far left views. There are also claims he attended Poland's pro-abortion protests in 2020 and may have supported open borders. British media outlets, alongside media organisations around the world, were quick to run with the "far right" headlines. It will be interesting to see whether those same outlets are equally quick to correct their reporting and apologise to the public if those claims prove false. There are now calls for Kierwiński to resign from his position in Poland for spreading misinformation at such a dangerous time.
In Poland, it has been discovered that the Kraków attacker, Michał Oksiński, was a radical left-wing, antifascist and anarcho-communist activist who mocked Christianity. Tusk’s government and the left wing media tried to link him to right-wing groups, but it is now known that this is not the case.

Meet Michal Oksinski the shooter from Poland. The polish minister of interior rushed into declaring him a right wing white supremacist. Although his social media accounts were deleted in minutes after he was identified some people managed to save some pictures

Poland's Interior Minister has now fully backtracked on his claim that the Kraków mass shooter was "far right." That is, AFTER the entire mainstream media ran with it and the narrative was set... This is the SAME government, under Tusk, now claiming to fight "disinformation," at the EU's behest.

There was a monster in Krakow Square, but fortunately there was also a hero:
🚨🇵🇱 New footage shows the moment a Polish police officer confronted the heavily armed Kraków gunman and FIRED at him.
The officer was himself seriously wounded during the confrontation. He was facing an attacker equipped with a rifle, military-style camouflage and body armor. SIX people were killed in the shooting, but the officer's intervention helped bring the attack to an end. Now he's fighting for his life in hospital. An extraordinary act of courage. Poland is rooting for him to pull through. Writer: Oliver

Update to today's terrorist attack in Poland. The shooter has been identified as Michał Oksiński from Ostrowiec. An additional victim of the nass shooting has died, bringing the death toll to six and the reported number of injured to an additional 16 people. Kamil Kosin was one of the responding policemen and is the policeman in the video that was posted this afternoon. He sustained three gunshot wounds from an automatic weapon. Despite being shot, Kosin still neutralized the attacker. The attacker had an automatic weapon, a helmet, and a vest. The parents and sister of Oksiński were found dead in the apartment where the shooter lived with them. Oksinski's social media posts are inconsistent. They seem to have included anti-Catholic and pro-Communist posts, as well as manga and animé type posts, as well as Falanga imagery. He allegedly attended the 2020 pro-abortion protests in Poland, the "All-Poland Women's Strike." In one of the images pulled from his Facebook account before it was deleted his caption was, "A photo bathed in the red light of communism-simply delightful." Kanał Zero, a Polish news channel interviewed a couple of people who knew the killer from school and alleged that he had worn all kinds of masks, dressed strangely, and painted his nails black.

I many gallons flowed out before I had the section in. It's still not a great splice so I will probably have to section it again. I'm not even sure that was the pipe I needed to splice. I may have effed up and marked the wrong pipe. It was bad enough that a 2'x2' section of the ceiling drywall fell down.

He will show up in "right-wing terrorism" reports from the UN, he will be referenced endlessly online as a right-wing terrorist example, he will be used to skew the numbers in studies and will be used as an excuse to clamp down on conservative speech in Western Europe.

He's been furious at the world ever since, especially Christianity, his parents and anyone who tries to help him, because he's gay and angry about it, but can't blame the gay dude because that's not gay solidarity with gay, gayness, and gaiety, so it's everything not-gay that's the problem.

I had a hot water pipe bust last week right at the valve. Of course it was on the wrong side of the valve so I had to run out spend time trying to find the valve shut off tool at the street. So much water all over the kitchen/utility room. It was Pex, so it was easily fixed. It took me longer to find the pex clamp tool than to actually fix it. Valve corroded in half at the end. It was only 5 years old. Thank God I was home, because if it had happened during the day it would have been a complete watery disaster.

Russell Brand Sentenced to Ten and a Half Years in Prison Over Rape Allegedly Taking Place in 2004
I'll explain that in a bit.This is another case of Two-Tier Justice. Do you remember Henry Nowack? He was stabbed to death by an immigrant with a knife and stabbing fetish who lied to police and claimed Nowack Did a Racism and so deserved to die. The police chatted amiably with the non-stabbed "victim" of necessary anti-racist stabbing as the literal life oozed out of Henry Nowack's body. He did not admit to cops that he'd stabbed the man and was dying on the street from blood loss. He compounded the stabbing by continuing to hide the fact that he'd stabbed the "racist," letting the man die without medical attention. That asshole got... the absolute minimum of 21 years for race murder. And there's no question of his guilt. Just double what Brand got for an alleged "historic rape" from 22 years ago. I bring that up, because that immigrant race-murderer was just in court complaining that his sentence was too harsh. He wanted to halve the sentence -- down to ten and a half years, what the usefully-white Russell Brand got. In a minor bit of good news, the court not only rejected his plea, but added four years to his sentence calling the earlier Two Tier Justice sentence "unduly lenient." But it's still just twenty five years for a man who went out hunting a native citizen to murder and who then distracted cops with his hallucinatory Tale of Racial Woe.
Comedian Russell Brand was sentenced Monday in the United Kingdom to 10 and a half years in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others. In his sentencing remarks, Judge Joel Bennathan said that Brand showed a "casual and arrogant disregard" for women denying him consent, the Associated Press reported. In the course of his rise to stardom, Bennathan said, Brand became a "sexual predator."

@justicewatchuk Nov 7 ⚖️ Henry Nowak's killer asked for less time in prison and the Court of Appeal added four years to his minimum term. Vickrum Digwa was serving life for stabbing 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak to death in Southampton when two challenges to his sentence came before the Court of Appeal this week. Digwa argued that the 21-year minimum was too long, while Attorney General Ellie Reeves had asked the judges to increase it because she considered it too low for the crime. Both arguments came back to what Digwa did on the street where Henry was walking home. The two men were strangers, and Digwa was carrying a large dagger in a sheath on the outside of his clothes when they met. After a brief encounter, Digwa drew the blade and stabbed Henry repeatedly. Digwa then filmed Henry as he tried to get away and kept filming as he lay dying. He told his mother, Kiran Kaur, to remove the knife, and he repeatedly lied to the police officers who arrived. The appeal judges said the original sentence gave too little weight to two things. The first was how Digwa used a large blade he already had to hand to kill an unarmed man. The second was the cruelty he inflicted on Henry after the stabbing and the steps he took to obstruct the investigation. That distinction mattered because the appeal judges agreed the trial judge could start at 15 years when working out the minimum term. A higher starting point applies when someone takes a knife to the scene intending to commit a crime, and the trial judge found that Digwa had carried the dagger there without that intention. The appeal judges accepted that finding and gave much greater weight to what Digwa actually did with the weapon and how he treated Henry afterwards. They put the minimum term at 25 years, with credit for the 175 days Digwa had already spent in custody before sentencing, and refused him permission to appeal against the sentence. Once Digwa has served the minimum term, the Parole Board can consider whether he can safely be released. Any release would come with conditions for the rest of his life, and he could be sent back to prison if he broke them. Henry's family is also dealing with a separate release decision involving the person who took the knife away. Kaur was sentenced to three years for helping Digwa by hiding the weapon, and she is expected to leave prison early in December, around the first anniversary of Henry's death. The Home Office has commissioned an independent review that will examine what the prison and probation service told the family about Kaur's early release. Henry's father, Mark Nowak, put the timing plainly: "She'll be out for Christmas, and I won't have Christmas with Henry."
Henry Nowak was murdered in cold blood with a religious ceremonial knife.
As he lay dying, he was falsely accused of racism, handcuffed and denied the help he desperately needed by police. And James O’Brien is asking why the British public won’t “stop whining”? Absolutely staggering. https://t.co/joIOEVM3GG— Ben Graham (@BenGrahamUK) November 3, 2026

RUSSELL BRAND SENTENCED:
I predicted 8 to 10 years. He got sentenced to 10.5 years. He will have to serve 2/3 of that sentence.
Particularly shocking from the sentence is what the judge just revealed about the alleged victim.
The alleged victim - who waited +/- 15 years before making the claims against Brand - has “lengthy mental health and addiction problems” and that there had been “other issues in her life” that contributed to those difficulties.

"I agree to a, b, x, r with conditions, and maybe t if you ask nicely, but then he did w and I did not agree to that" rapes.
ie, she had consensual sex with him but then he did butt stuff and that was too much.
Is that true? Did they give him 10 years for being a back door bandit?

That's if they ever are convicted of any sex crimes. Most are probably never convicted, or they are given sweetheart plea deals.
But surely, some illegals and foreigners must be convicted of sex crimes similar to Brand's. What were their sentences? I'll bet not 10 years.
I say "corrupt" conviction because I have the same view of this case as I do the Cornell 7: it was gross and nasty, the men acted horribly, but the ladies got what they wanted, and it was all consensual.

1. I have no sympathy for the girl --- you go to the creeps mansion for sex, you get what you get. In a sane world this would be he-said, she-said, no case to prosecute, not a tee off for a civil suit.
2. I remember him when he was a comedian, and I thought he was a disgusting creep. Then he did that podcast with the new-age lovey-dovey bs and I thought he was a disgusting phony creep.
So one of those stories where it is an injustice, but I don't really care.

I know people here get tired of my expanding fascism past the Nazis and the Italians, and pretty much want to maintain the same definition as the Left-- but what Galloway said is 100% fascist.
What Galloway is talking about, I assume, is Musk not volunteering Starlink to the Ukrainian cause. He should be considered a traitor and executed because the government would have his cooperation--and didn't get it!!
How dare somebody resist the State's plan!! That suggest that they live under a "different set of rules"!!
That's fascist. That's "We all have to bind together for strength, and no different rules for anybody--including 'innovators'!"

Prior to the conviction, Brand attempted to transfer sole ownership of his £5 million Oxfordshire estate into his wife's name. Legal experts note that his overall 'fortune' remains highly vulnerable to impending civil lawsuits and financial compensation claims brought forward by victims.

Brand's a gross creep but so were all these girls. He got away with it for almost 20 years. Hell, he practically bragged about power-fucking every whore and slut he could find.
Nobody cared because he was down with the "right" opinions. It was not until he started having a few non-approved opinions that he suddenly faced decades-old fake rape claims.

He found out through Covid that there are far more conscientious people on the "Right" than on the authoritarian Left.
He was mainly becoming a commenter on the Left. But he moved into faith in Jesus, before he developed too much of a "rightest" mindset. Of course he was enough generic "spiritual" during much of this journey as well.

Yeah. Of course you shouldn't do the no no thing if the stop sign is out. However, if you really meant no, did you call the cops right away, or stay and watch tv and eat popcorn. Then years later after somebody approached you, did you decide it was against your will.

Like Chappelle in the last decade, their acts were mostly rambling commentary, with "jokes" as it occurred to them.
Chappelle is a funny guy, I can still laugh at some of his early stuff. But at some point he became this rambling commenter, who slips in some funny things because he's a funny guy.
I even saw this while defending his last few specials.
However, Brand did impress me on his MTV show, where he appeared genuinely interested in "unity politics" and have dialogs, even seeming friendly toward people with different views.
It was pretty obvious that he was only going to stay leftie until the drugs wore off.

Well, lots but this is interesting very recent: Reparations
The British government has initiated a "structured dialogue" with Caribbean nations and affected communities regarding a potential formal apology, moving away from unilateral statements drafted in London
Prme Minister Burnham and Downing Street maintain that current British taxpayers cannot be held financially liable or penalized for historical wrongs committed centuries ago.
Instead of direct reparations, Britain has pledged £40 million over three years for regional development and renewable energy projects in the Caribbean, alongside separate debt-restructuring talks.
During the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, King Charles acknowledged the "profound personal sorrow" and horror of the slave trade, though he did not issue a formal apology or offer financial compensation.

And do you think he should have been smarter about the mass quantities of drugs he consumed?
So do I. Brand serves as a perfect example of what not to do, and long has.

He's a good example of things not to do.

Did he rape women during that time? Possibly. And if so that's utterly vile. Supposedly there's no DNA or evidence to back up the claims, making it harder to prove. Becoming a Christian is great, and using the gospel to help you work through your addictions. But a baptism doesn't wash you clean in the eyes of the law.
HOWEVER... I would be more supportive of British courts throwing the book at him if they treated all rape cases this way. They don't. The Muslim grooming gangs happened. Men of certain backgrounds get lenient sentences for rape all the time in the UK. It feels either like a political witch hunt, or racial profiling because he's white, if every other rapist gets a slap on the wrist but not this dude.

You guys do know that he was a patient in a "sexual addiction" clinic at one time, and his own personal assistant testified that he had an "insane sexual appetite"....right?
Seems his lack of scruples caught up with him. He was just stupid enough to put a target on his back by going against the powers that be. Not that he didn't deserve it from the onset. It was merely delayed.

Dude who was famously convicted of rape in VA has stranger dangered a college student and then disppeared. 2 decades+ later, b/c of AA, he followed the steps and found her and wrote her an apology letter about the event. Yes, prosecutors didn't care he fixed his life, nor should they. He f*cked her over, and he did get convicted and sentenced to prision and his confession stood (his lawyer screamed about getting it tossed b/c it was the sterling evidence)...

This is simply asking for reasonability to be discarded as a test. Instead, you are asking "Substitute sympathy" in that she might have been really, really upset silently for 22 years, because that's what women do.
But that's not a reasonable doubt, is it? It's an emotional one.
Women are asking for an entirely different standard--if ONLY who is responsible when both parties under under the influence of drugs and booze.
Not discriminating on the basis of sex has been a FAILURE, and not even women want that.

Democraps turned out like it was a presidential election, in numbers similar to (but less than) the 2024 election. They successfully nationalized what were basically local elections.
We turned out like a normal midterm election. It's no surprise that we got hammered.
I'm sure there was the normal Democrap cheating. But we cleaned their clocks only two years ago. I doubt they somehow managed to cheat that much more last week.

But I have rape accusation fatigue. A prosecution for sex crimes that occurred long ago makes sense in the context of child victims or in the case of stranger rape (say where DNA finally discloses who the assailant was for the first time). But date rape cases or the equivalent, where all the facts, including the attacker's identity, have been known for a decade or more? There's too much potential for miscarriages of justice when all there is is he said/she said long, long after.

Nephew got locked out while they decided if they were going to kick him out of both the game and his gaming team. I told him not to apologize, that they would smell the blood in the water and absolutely savage him.
He didn't listen to his uncle. Spent 2 days working on the apology video, posted it and the "punishment" was even worse than he was afraid of. I had to resist the urge to tell him "I told you so".

I'm back where I was in 2014 and it never really left me anyway.
Trump did a lot of good and if they can help it they want as few people as possible to know what he really did. So we have a lot reshaping to come. They need him seen as a failure and a pedo. So I'm waiting for New Epstein Hearings which really aren't.
He showed it was possible to take on the Machine and play them to a draw for a time. Even give them a few big ass bumps and bruises.
That is huge. It is information they don't want known. They want to make sure "his kind never rises again".

I'd like to see some conservative areas do a real examination of the ballots, to see if they matched the claimed results. It sounded like the machines were programmed to skim 15% of Republican numbers and flip them to Dem. Or maybe just add 15% to Dems, though that would mean there would not be enough ballots.
TJM says the audit by Jill Stein (I think was the libertarian candidate) found the boxes of ballot had maybe 20% of what they were claimed to be holding.

We should have pushed the stupidity of instacarting being the cause of kids no longer being able to buy houses near where they can find employment.
Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars!
You aspire to nothing more than the shallow thoughts of commoners!
I will not allow anyone to beat me and my own ambition!
My will is absolute!
Nonsense! I won't be ashamed!
If it means I can fulfill my ambitions, I will bear my breasts for all to see!
I will do whatever it takes! For I know that my actions are utterly pure.
Fear is freedom.
Subjugation is liberation.
Contradiction is true.
Those are the facts of this world.
And you will all surrender to them.
You pigs in human clothing.
This is human nature Matoi... prosperity leads to greed... greed leads to their downfall.
One taste of a life of affluence and they're enslaved.
Slaves to a system which I created.
They are nothing more than Pigs...

Ooof: Trump Says His Immigration Policy Was Too Tough, Seeks Some Kind of... Comprehensive Reform
On one hand, I expected a softening. I floated the idea that if Trump had softened on the immigration raids the summer before the election, the GOP might have done a little better. (Emphases on "might" and "a little.")
And who knows: This may be necessary to stop the Democrats from winning it all in 2028 and packing the country floor to rafters with immigrants (and immediately giving them full voting rights). But on the other hand: this is a disaster. I guess it depends on how serious Trump is about this.Calling this a reversal is a pretty big understatement. Aside from tariffs, there has been no more consistent policy position in the Trump administration than "deport them all," and now Trump is suggesting that he can work with the Democrats on an amnesty bill that would normalize illegal aliens who have been here for some period of time -- say 10-15 years.Trump on his immigration policy:
Trump: "I think it both helped and hurt. I think I got an A+ for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out. But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that-- that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally."
Douthat: "So you think your deportation policy--" / "Went too far--"Videos at the link. People have said that Trump is an example of A/B market testing on the presidential level. He's constantly talking and pitching policy choices. He doesn't know if he'll follow through or not. He listens for the audience reaction to decide on "A" or "B." That's mostly been good for us. But there is a down side, and we may be seeing it now. I've also heard that people with agendas always want to be the last person to talk to Trump, because his beliefs are often formed by the last person he talked with. I guess John Thune and Co. were the last people he talked to. Hello friends. I hope you are enjoying this cold and bright fall day.
Trump: "Too tough."
Douthat: "It was too tough?"
Trump: "I think it might be too tough, yeah."

Sorry, but that's a guy with no principles, just what he can get away with. FTR, I don't think that's Trump, really, but he's now trimming his sails to forestall an even bigger disaster in '28. The time to solve the problem for real was 20-40 years ago, by closing the border and expelling the illegals before they became a huge voting block.

How hard were the raids in the first place? Every time the media tried to pimp some boo-hoo story about some poor hardworking illegal who got snatched, it turned out to be some hardcore criminal scumbag.
I don't think we ever were targeting anything other than the real criminals. Sure, we talked about going after everyone here illegally, but I don't recall a single instance of actually deporting someone like Maria Sanchez the quiet housekeeper.

Yea, but that was the second part of my comment: they said that, but did they in fact ever follow through and deport an illegal who wasn't a serious criminal. If they did, I wasn't aware of it.
Every single illegal that the media hyped up was a hardened criminal and parasite on the nation. I don't recall a single housekeeper or nanny.

It is very likely that had the Dems not pursued the bogus Russia Collusion stuff, that we would have had a very much more liberal Trump. He very likely would have done more stuff we didn't ask for or want.
But that they refused to compromise on what President Trump knew was bullshit--although he did ask Comey to tell him what he found on the subject. And this made Trump serve the "far right".
Posted by: Axeman at November 09, 2026 12:33 PM (Fi81e)
Trump can be Trump after 1/1 without worrying about reelection. That might be good or bad depending on your view. He'll get some type of "amnesty" though not as much as the Dems want because the GOPe and their donors need cheap foreign labor. If he does it right it could piss off the DSA types and get them fighting even more against the old time Dems. Of course it will really piss off his base

There's a blurb going around about 500 plus being "detained" - but not actually held. Those who are stupid enough get turned over to local authorities.

Posted by: ... at November 09, 2026 12:34 PM (RZ+Ww)
Recall Trump has slipped a few times and openly talked about not addressing the 95% of the problem - non-criminal illegals. As at the Iowa rally day that BBB passed (ironically), where he alluded to agriculture and hospitality depending on illegals - to the silence of the crowd (silence at a Trump rally I believe is rare to unprecedented).
I assumed he fears the short-term economic impact of enforcement on non-criminals. Which is dumb, or at least confirms even he doesn't understand the unforgiving black/white binary nature of the choice: you either actually enforce the law, or just sweep up around the edges as a prelude to an even greater disaster.

Which is the way it should be, since any deals acceptable to those scumbags will be bad deals.

Right. Why not repeat what Reagan ended up considering his biggest mistake in office?! (Not to you, but to the people I've seen ask it).
They also point up that Obamacare was closer to what the Republicans were proposing as an alternative--without thinking of how popular that was among the base. And from my reckoning, not very.

I saw a photo today of the UK defense lead person, a guy wearing a skirt. I have no idea if it is AI as I have stuff to do and meeing my favorite SIL to walk the foothills on a lovely fall day.
DEPORT THEM ALL if not legal or over-stayed visas. I don't give two hoots what voters whine about now or in two years. I WANT THEM GONE!
I seem to be shouting a lot but am perfectly calm.
Take their Somolian pirates and flotilla back to their retard country. I hope most of the boats leak and sharks are following.
We know they can't swim anyway and the only thing that would float would be their deformed coconut noggins, filled with methane, due to their fart plumbing going up instead of out.

I agree. You don't install Stephen Miller as your Chief of Staff and then go wobbly on illegals.
The left is like a bunch of rabid dogs right now that have been let off the leash. They are overreaching everywhere. So Trump counters by appearing reasonable. They aren't going to make a deal with him. They've been fighting for year for complete open borders and getting rid of ICE altogether.

Crime is massively down. Which is a good thing especially in low income/working class neighborhoods.
But some people who may be legal, have relatives, or friends who aren't legal. So they are on edge about them getting picked up. Even if you are legal, but you are originally from Mexico or something, you might not be sleeping well given the chance that you might get sweep up in it . . .

I just bought a $1999 refrigerator.
It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”
paid.
I also paid $155 in sales tax.
Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax.
To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes.
So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%).
52% went to the government in taxes."

Just as I was discussing with Grok: tolerance is not a good general policy.
Because yes, you can tolerate "intolerant" behavior, you can't tolerate it if you like the behavior, you can only tolerate it if you don't like the behavior.
Well, how much don't you like the behavior.
Popper's "Paradox of tolerance" is simply a failure to understand how the sense changes when the act of "tolerating" is turned into a policy of "tolerance". (And it's also a single foot note from his body of writing.)

The only hope for salvaging the country was the total elimination of the foreign populations that support the Democrats. Now it will just be theft either by government or with its approval until people finally figure out that productive behavior is a waste of time.
And then it all collapses. Along with any part of the global economy that depends on US demand.

Employment enforcement is almost the whole ball-game. And it's been virtually set aside up to this point. And it's going to be much more vulnerable to the slander and distortion that easily shapes the reactions of ignorant/teenage girl-like/tribal America - i.e. at least half the country.
Apart from cuffing serious criminals the entire effort to date relies on intimidation to motivate self-deportation. Slightest sign of weakness guts that central effort and buys you bupkis, now or later.

Ok, then Trump has done this repeatedly already, on gun control, global warming, and illegal immigration previously in 2018. So it seems like it's a type of "betrayal" that nobody remembers and has no policy impact.
On the flipside it makes it harder to sell the idea that Trump (or the GOP) holds radical positions.

The annoying thing is that by any objective standard Iran really is utterly defeated. Hormuz is open for business, oil's in freefall, and the IRGC can barely light a birthday candle now. But they're continuing to do the "tis only a flesh wound" thing and the media is happy to cover for them.

I thank my dude because as a college guy he worked one summer, with full hippie handsomeness with his beard and looking like Robert Redford in the movie Jeremiah Johnson, in "Linens and Domestics." For a huge dept store in Long Island.
The thought of him working there still sends me laughing. He does know how to fold a fitted sheet; just one more thing to attract me. He found these perfect sheets for his going insane wife a week ago and sleep has eased the grief I have for my ill mother.

I agree. Had Michigan not put in the 55¢/gallon tax to disguise a decline in gas prices, we'd be looking at mid-3s/gallon gas.
This is what is so stupid about the "Affordability" banner. The Party that waved it, in Michigan, cares so much about what you're paying at the pump, and how much it is hurting you that they want you to pay 55¢ more per gallon, just so you can't see prices come down! (And Michigan is not the only state, as I hear it.)

Compromise in DC is
- Dems demand the whole loaf
- Rs offer 50%
- they compromise on giving the Dems 95% of the loaf.
Dems campaign on how they were cheated out of that 5%.
Rs campaign on how they saved you 5%.

Basically, the democrats have taken full advantage of what is now election season, they register millions of ballots, they flood the systems with ballots and there's not much we can do about that other than reciprocate, but being that the GOP is a useless pile of dog shit, our ability to oust these f***ing ***holes and lunatics, is low.

Yup, the magic of eVerify. It was a scam and give-away to employers that made it almost impossible to go after employers.
But even apart from that, you can still go to home depots or similar big stores or parking lots at 6 am, and you'll see illegals waiting to be picked up for daily labor (construction, lawn, moving, and other basic labor tasks). They aren't even trying to hide it.

All that being said, I think the optics of some of the things he did, was just counterproductive. Like rolling into blue cities with masked ICE agents and zip ties., purposely creating as much drama as possible. So much more ow hanging fruit.
But if Trump cuts some amnesty deal, he'll leave office with a 20% approval rating and probably be the most hated President in US history. His base is the only thing left.

I think something needs to change, but I dont buy this narrative. Why did basically every red state drop Republicans?
I remember hearing in 2006 Republicans did poorly because of immigration concerns.
EVERY election that Republicans do poorly, the same crowd trots out "amnesty now!".
Hispanics voted against Republicans because of cost of living. They simply tend to be more blue collar/working class. Iran had FAR more to do with the wipeout than immigration.
It's also clear to me its deeply personal against Trump.

The plan was never to replace everyone's ICE car with an EV.
The plan was to remove ICE cars from the non-elites and only make EVs available to those the elites saw as doing something useful for them

It was never meant to be a truck truck as Whoopi would say. It was supposed to be a badass looking futuristic thing that happened to kids look like a pickup truck.

Texas is loaded with pick-ups. Whether in the country for work or in town for driving to college, they are everywhere.
Absolutel, people who were paying $140+ to fill-up were pissed off.

When Chocolate Fonzie was running things, they built a bunch of solar charging stations on bases and National Guard posts, including my local ANG post less than a mile from my shop. Two big motorized solar panels that are hooked up to 4 parking spots. If ever there was a parking spot that screamed "Commanding Officer and Staff only"...

It started out pretty well. He kept a eye on the charge level and stopped for a charge just about any time he saw a charger if he was near half charge.
Then he found himself in Flatonia, Tx, after dark, sitting at the only charger in town with a couple of cars ahead of him. Got home near midnight and gave it back the next day.

That's one thing I haven't seen discussed much as we discuss the recent election. The same leftward lurch has been happening around the world. The EU is further along the path, starting to see some inevitable early stage pushback, but the problem with always running from leftists is you eventually run out of places to go. And we have.

My big change was getting a gas 350 after driving a diesel for over 20 years. I drive the pickup just once or twice a week, usually towing a moderate load, but sometimes towing the heavy gooseneck trailer when I'm going to camp somewhere. I wanted the godzilla gas engine because of that occasional heavy towing, but I'm not towing heavy construction equipment every day where I need a diesel and the EPA has made diesels so much worse now then twenty year ago before they mandated DEF and other crap.

Hard to say.
If the GOP had turned up at presidential election levels or near them like the Dems did, the GOP would have won the midterms in TX.
Can Dems manage increased turnout two elections in a row? Lots of variables there.
Can the GOP get its act together and get out the vote better than usual?
Personally, I've seen too many "the emerging (insert party here)" stories after prior elections.
Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think 2028 is likely to be decided somewhere other than TX.
We don't even know what terrible presidential options will be on the table yet.

If a Dem wins in ‘28 and have a solid majority in the house and senate it’s over.
They’ll pack the courts, make pr and dc states, nationalize health care. It truly will be the end of America.

It wasn't just France, it was a number of EU countries.

I know it would be a tough sell for privately-owned cars, but it ought to be perfectly practical for fleets of many like vehicles, like Amazon's delivery vans.
Current model: vehicle is unavailable for use for the hours it takes to charge the battery.
Swappable batteries: vehicle is available for use nearly 24/7.
Gas-powered taxis: vehicle is available for use nearly 24/7.

Mine had a backup battery case that held nearly a dozen AA batteries...
Would get a solid 10 minutes use...

I've never flood my phone but I have had to get a new phone because the battery is dying.
There's data indicating that people, especially those of the OEM-equipped boobs persuasion, drop their phones in the toilet like 3 times a week. That's basically the entire reason phones had to become waterproof.
Posted by: Ian S. at November 09, 2026 12:09 PM (2ocoG)
Sure, but that would require nearly a data centers' worth of infrastructure.
Just picture ... about a thousand giant battery packs, each weighing a ton or so, all charging...
The effort to stage that would be... a lot.

I'm starting to think Lincoln should've let the South go. Would've let the Dems have their own country, and gotten them out of the USA.

And how much infrastructure do you need to charge a hundred Amazon delivery vans overnight at a "fullfillment center"? About the same, if not more. The battery packs could be racked eight high, and handled by forklifts, powered by the same type of battery.

One of the reasons Satan and his demons never prevail long-term is they are all a pack of snarling, rabid monsters that hate each other just as much as you or I.
And, yes, their followers on Earth are the same.

On election night he gave a quick phone interview to Politico. He was asked would he do a deal with democrats on immigration. He said we’ll see.
I guess we’re seeing now. The answer is yes.

I asked a fellow I know to show how you access it, and you press a button and the cover rolls up like a plastic shade.
You can't see out the back because of that cover, so you have to rely on... a big screen to 'see' what's behind you. Weird-looking, useless as an actual pickup.
