Daily Tech News 24 July 2026
Top Story
- AMD has announced its new Zen 6 Epyc server CPUs and we know, if anything, less about them than we did before the announcement. (WCCFTech)
Here's the problem: Zen 6 is strongly rumoured to increase the core count per chiplet from 8 to 12, and increase the L3 cache and X3D cache per chiplet by 50% to match. Which means that the raw numbers of cores and cache do nothing to confirm or deny the 12 core rumour. It doesn't help that the announced mainstream products focused on 96 core models which would have the same numbers whether that's twelve 8-core chiplets or eight 12-core chiplets.
Until you get all the way down to the bottom of the chart for Socket SP8 processors and find the 8-core Epyc with 48MB of cache which rather hints that 12 core chiplets are not a lie.
Oh, also supported (officially) are PCIe Gen 6 - probably for servers only, and 12.8GHz MRDIMMs - also probably for servers only. And up to 16 memory channels per socket, which at 12.8GHz delivers close to three times the bandwidth of Epyc Zen 5.
Tech News
- Ryzen 7 has been confirmed on track for 2028, bringing with it support for DDR6 memory and the new ACE instruction set for matrix operations. (WCCFTech)
There is no spoon. As far as I can see some bugger has nicked the entire cutlery draw.
- There's also the "new" X199 embedded CPU which is AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with a much more convenient name and a power budget of 55W. (Tom's Hardware)
It's competing with Intel's Panther Lake laptops chips and is unsurprisingly faster, although I'm not sure it's possible to manufacture competitively.
- Patreon has laid off 20% of its workforce. (Tech Crunch)
CEO Jack Conte blamed AI and not his own malicious incompetence.

Yes; He didn't like the thermometer up his backside. Can't say I blame him. We have purchased pet insurance which I think will be a wise investment.

Fen, the kitten sounds like a charmer. I recall bringing little Arizona home from the SPCA, and trying to enclose him with his food and litter box in the kitchen of our apartment by rigging up a cardboard shield in the doorway (it had no door). The next morning I woke to find a tiny bundle of red tabby fur buzzing on my pillow.
Big cat, as he grew to be, slept on my bed in one area of it or another pretty much his whole life.

Oh, Arizona could be difficult and prickly. He hated going to the vet, hated moving, didn't like other cats, didn't like new male visitors to his territory (he was fine with the female ones!). But from the second day, there was never any question. He was my cat, I was his human, there, that's settled. Now when's dinner?
Stirling here, though much more easygoing, has pretty much the same attitude about me.

XP and Windows 7 were the last truly good versions of windows in terms of "Fairly decent UI, and the OS gets out of the way to let you get on with using your computer the way you want to."
Microslop lost the plot with versions 8.0 and beyond.
I don't see things getting any better unless they lose a LOT of market share and are honest with themselves about all the bad decisions the company has made in recent years.

I tried to talk to the IRS yesterday about my long-errant refund check. Both of the numbers they give on their website bring you to an automated assistant, who even with my SSN, etc., "can't find" my refund. There seems to be no way to talk to an actual human without making an in-person appointment at the only office downtown. The website has a "refund tracker" feature which gave the same info. Today I'll try it again and enter my original refund amount instead of the amended one. Maybe I'll get a new response.
I'm rapidly coming to the point of saying "I guess I'll never see that check" and consider it found money if it ever does show up.

Thursday 7/23/26 ONT in the Doghouse [Hour of the Wolf]
Source: Charles M. Schulz Museum
People have conflicting theories. Literal Origins: The Doghouse as a Symbol of Disfavor
The term “doghouse” has been part of the English language since at least the mid-1500s, referring to a shelter for dogs. In the late 19th century, the term evolved to describe the backyard structure for a single dog. The figurative use of “in the doghouse,” meaning to be in temporary disgrace, emerged by 1932.Earliest Printed Record: Winsor McCay’s Comic Strip
The earliest known printed use of “in the doghouse” in its idiomatic sense appears in Winsor McCay’s comic strip Dream of the Rarebit Fiend between 1904 and 1905. This predates the 1926 glossary Criminalese by J.J. Finerty, which defines “in dog house” as “in disfavor.Maritime Theory: Sailors’ Punishment Quarters
Another theory suggests that the idiom originated in the 19th century when sailors slept in small huts on a ship’s deck, referred to as “dog houses.” Punished sailors were made to sleep in these cramped, uncomfortable spaces, leading to the association of “being in the doghouse” with being in trouble.Source, and some other theories: theidioms.com Today's Funnies
Two rabbits were being chased by a pack of hungry wolves. The wolves chased the rabbits into a thicket. After a few minutes, one rabbit turned to the other and said,
"Well, do you want to make a run for it, or should we stay here for a few days and out number them?"
She said it rang a bell, but she wasn't sure if it was there or not.
And one candidate I'm considering for 2028.

And the shelter on a drilling rig where the driller's console and the geolograph are located, is called the doghouse. When I was working in the patch, my dog Pogo would climb all the stairs to the doghouse at mealtimes, and mooch off the crew. I had several toolpushers tell me, "you know, when your dog is on the lease, the crew are on their best behavior."

The Apollo 10 crew named the command module Charlie Brown, and the lunar module Snoopy.
Snoopy was set off in a heliocentric orbit, where it was well, went on eternal patrol you might say. In 2019, some astronomers think they might have found it:

There's a story behind that. The gal there is Jayme Flowers (later Coplin), who was Gordon Cooper's secretary. She and Gene Cernan had a thing going on. Well, not *that* kind of thing, but they clowned around. Gene told her to give a him something and he'd carry it around the Moon for her as a souvenir.
So she got that giant stuffed Snoopy as a gag that that was she wanted him to carry along. The result was these photos, which occurred with Gene after Stafford in the above photo, from a Reddit thread:

I think it might have been MP4 (and if it wasn't, apologies to him) who said that Snoopy was the downfall of "Peanuts." And I've come to agree with that.
"Peanuts" was about how flawed characters dealt with their flaws, and how they became real by doing so. While Charlie Brown never won at anything, but it never dented his determination to continue. While he would despair over his outcomes, he would never allow his failures to consume him.
Snoopy, on the other hand, was a perpetual winner who was never disappointed and was admired by all. He was the breakout character for the strip, and it's certainly understandable that Schulz would capitalize on him.
I just never liked Snoopy that much after realizing that. Sorry.

The sick thing is they want us to argue and set out our case for why they are wrong. They want us to burn brain cells and ink and pixels proving every angle about why they are wrong. As if they aren't already hyper aware of why they are wrong.
I will never forget when Romney made some proposal in 2012 during the election and Obama actually had the front to make a speech and lecture Romney that with a "government" program like what Romney was suggesting, the government doesn't pay for any of it. "The people do. The taxpayers."

Actually, in a way they do. Most funds for public libraries come from county property taxes....which is a pet peave of mine. Public libraries should be all donations. I see it as something very similar to PBS and NPR. You could argue that it improves the quality of living in the area by offering potentially free education and resources. I would argue that it is a 1st world luxury.
Fire Companies is a non-starter. It is a public safety organization and a necessity. It is no different from a paved road in a philosophical sense.

If you did not add Snoopy into Peanuts for a little joy, the strip would have been equivalent to a Dostoevsky novel--Crime and Punishment.
Dogs bring a bit of joy and innocence even into the darkest hours of a human. So too did Snoopy as he gave heart to Charlie Brown to try again from demonstrating it is not a sin to be glad you are alive.

Failed rift zone in the North American plate. Some argue that it is a dying fault, others do not. The huge amount of sediment in the Mississippi River Valley is what makes it so potent for destruction. Shakes like a bowl of jelly with liquefaction etc.
You can still see sand blows yards in diameters all through the Eastern part of Arkansas from the New Madrid fault. As a kid, I could remember occasionally farmers digging up logs of cypress that fell during the earthquakes and were buried under the muck after. Cypress is one of the few woods that does not rot much at all due to water exposure.

When the Medici family started lending their books out for free, printing had not been invented.
But the Medicis lent their books to scholars at no charge, so that they could be copied & studied. Copying by hand was the closest thing they had to printing back then.

Three big quakes 1811-1812 that have been around mid 7.0's after changing their initial guesses at magnitude. A strong one in the late 1890's. Most recent was a 4 point something that I felt as a little kid living in NE Arkansas at the time. Centered on Marked Tree Arkansas.

I've never had a bad experience with one, ever. I never saw a derelict there. The librarians are unfailingly courteous, too.
Mine has a policy of throwing anyone who tries to access pron offline. Spare me, "How do YOU know? Ha Ha" There are printed rules about using the 'Net.
Also they have adult literacy classes there, and lots of similar programs.

My university library for my doctorate had a piece of shit 'homeless' person decide to torch it by lighting off papers in government documents section. Massive fire and smoke damage--fortunately I already had my dissertation data and references when it happened.

That's in NC, right? I once briefly had a long distance romance with a Tar Heel Frat boy from UNC. Met him at Mardi Gras in college one spring trip to NOLA. He was smitten with this redneck and wrote me at the dorm and called sometimes (shared payphone). As I never dated it encouraged the dorm that I was not totally weird.
He showed up on our farm one day and alarmed my mother, then went to the college (junior college convent across the street from my HS). He found out pretty quickly after dinner than I was a good girl and he was a gentleman about it. I don't know why he thought otherwise. Who traveled far for basically not a lot with a friend (who apparently scored with someone I knew. I was oblivious to everything that she was a loose girl).
Anyway, it will take airtravel to NC but I'll be there! My husband will be confused but I'll bring him as well! "Honey, we have to fly to NC tomorrow," and try explaining Morons. But once he figures out why he'll be in and approve. (I can talk him into anything). XXXX

Read that, I approve. We could be very creative with judicious applications of duct tape. For example, doing so to these dash and diners--duct tape them on a lamppost near their dine and dash restaurant as a warning for the others.
Stocks were designed mostly to shame miscreants without the expense of locking them up and feeding them three square meals a day, recreation, etc. Need to bring that back.

**********
At a library near the med center I was once chased out of the loo by a troll woman lunatic. Before it got REALLY bad with homeless. It was her home, she said. I then went to the beach town library and, once, had a bedbug in the pocket of a book (identified by my husband). Then I debated microwaving the books due to potential bugs, but put them on the dash in the sun instead (FL...hot).
Now I order from Amazon and my husband frets over a bookcase in our bedroom about once a year as "it was not built for all these books...that I have not read." I tell him it will be fine.
I have a pervy library story! A former co-worker of my dude's had a deal of placing his "member" in a slot after removing a book. The books faced each other and lady on the other side would have a surprise! His wife divorced him and I think he moved to Texas.
I was shocked then laughed wildly when he told me this. I know I am going to hell, but try to be good.

I told my husband I would have beaten it with a book for his own surprise. Especially once he came to and realized I was married to a co-worker as he was hauled out with the EMT's and police.
From what I remember he was a tiny nerdy guy but his wife seemed fairly normal.
I also once worked with a perv pediatrician.Big group. Worked around baby son's kindergarten hours and weekends in the newborn nursery at the med center.
He'd left the practice and one day the nursery director told me he'd been arrested with a number of charges. I had to sit down and was wut? Attempted rape, kidnapping and guns.
I then remembered a few perv 0530 crank calls and knew the voice, as he said my name, but couldn't place it til then. He knew I'd answer the phone vs dude because that was when they'd call me off if they did not need me. Lawsie.
The calls stopped when I mentioned the calls at the ped office and having Bell South trace them. It was him!
He was arrested, in prison, his RN wife did not believe the charges until he tried to run over her with his car.

I thought from the beginning that there was something like this going on, what with the Mossad infiltration of Iran as it is, that we should just air drop gun after gun after gun.
Project/mission/mission Carpetbagger was a defined expansion of a previous mission, I think it's still technically off the records but not classified of just dropping weapons down into the "resistence.
Link to summary of "operation carpetbagger" https://tinyurl.com/OperationCarpetbagger
but before that, there was another experimental operation where the allies, along with bombs, would finish their runs and just drop handguns, with a single load of ammunition. All of a sudden, there were personal arms all over the place, with only a single load. So yeah, it's not a war armament, but it's enough to destabilize the enemy, while also allowing coordination against an enemy if enough people are armed with enough to capture more weapons and ammo.
We should have been bombing the fuck out of Iran, and just airdropping guns left and right.

Find out what calibers of pistol ammo are readily available to the regime thugs in Iran, and drop pistols chambered in something else. So that dropped pistols that fall into the hands of the regime thugs add only marginally to their firepower. Same pistol falling into the hands of a resistance fighter vastly increases his firepower.

Here's another iconic photo of a NASA geek girl, Margaret Hamilton. She's standing next to the source code listing for the Apollo Guidance Computer:
https://t.ly/79vW8
I say NASA girl, but she worked for what was then the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. That was founded by Charles Stark Draper, the father of inertial guidance. She went on to found a couple of software companies.
That source code was all in assembler, and the computer was a custom built one, with a unique instruction set, of course. There was one instruction that just dubbed "Fred's instruction" or whatever his name was. He requested a specialized instruction that would make some task much easier, and got it. It was only used a few times, but it was worth it.

There may well be loyal Shite civilians, but they're nowhere near the majority. Any regime that has a Secret Police is one that can be toppled, and the larger Secret Police, the more vulnerable.
The Shah had the Savak , which was primarily aimed at the Commies, but which would indiscriminately scoop up anyone making the slightest anti-Shah comment, and he was overthrown by a combination of commies, idealists and religious nuts. The IRGC is many times the size of the Savak and even more hated. If the bombing can seriously degrade the IRGC, the mullahs are out.

Before Margaret went to work on that MIT guidance job, she worked with Ed Norton Lorenz, the discoverer of Chaos Theory. He was meterologist/mathematician who discovered that from early weather prediction model code. They had saved some intermediate during a run to restart later, but the saved values were rounded for storage, and that produced entirely different results.
Margaret was working for him on that software in 1961.

That's fucked.
Brit Lass was getting some such calls to her business where he would breathe down the phone on her and then one on a Saturday night where he left a message and... "finished" on it.
A few weeks later he called during the day and she picked up as she had done before, only this time she said "you forgot to hide your number, you dozy bastard, I have it right here" and she read out the name of the company he was calling from and began to read out the number. He hung up and calls stopped.
Until about six months later when the idiot called again and she immediately said "you again?" and the name of the company again, and reminded him he'd already forgotten to hide the number once, at which point he hung up again, and the calls ceased permanently. Local construction company.

One of my fathers best friends was a Kurdish Iranian.
He hates Iran, well, hated, he's dead now, but hated the current rule, then again, he was "I am a Kurd" I think he was in a defined line of royalty because he had money and his name was "Amir Huschang Baghurpor" which means Prince, Huschang, but anyways. Though Huschang , who we called huchang because, "You ain't a prince, you are barely a dude" . . anyways.
There are sunni kurds, and non practicing kurds, there are zoroastrians, who my father wrote one of his Phillosphy post grad essays about because one of his best friends was an Iranian Kurd, who would tell him stories. I know for myself a number of secular Iranians.
Iran used to be a modern nation until Carter, the french and the fraud kohmenei subjugated a nation 4 times larger than their number through terror.

There was a Block I and Block II version of the AGC. Block I was used for the ill-fated Apollo 1, and then the unscrewed Apollo 4 and 6 Saturn V tests. Block II was used for all flights afterward.
Block II contained that special requested instruction, called "EDRUPT", or "Ed's Interrupt". It acted like an interrupt in some ways, but wasn't a real interrupt.

1) declare victory and cut and run. That’s what the MOU was looking like, but thank heaven that Trump wouldn’t go through with it.
2) continue bombing like we are now, and count on the constant degradation them. Could work, or it could just become another forever war.
3) go truly massive and break down all the structures that support a society. When you face a military force that is extremely resilient, then neutralize the civilian population that supports it.
The third option is the only one that can result in victory, but it requires killing a whole lot more people than we’ve been willing to so far.

No, it wasn't, but it's funny. I got Cm'd for "abuse" It's complicated, I told the story here a few times, basically a woman was blowing a married guy in my toilet during a hurricane in Oki. I needed to take a piss, I called her a whore and him a fuck up, because he was married, and about to process out. It turned into a thing, because the guy felt guilty and walked away from my fury, reasonable. I just wanna take a piss and i'm walking into what I thought was an inappropriate situation. Especially because I knew the guys situation. He's married, and he's risking it for a blowjob, from a whore.

I plead to what I was guilty of 18 counts of disrespect, 18 counts of refusal to obey a lawful order, with comment (they weren't lawful orders, so I entered a comment in the plea, but in the Marines lawful orders are fungeable) a couple counts of verbal assault, one count of "sexual assault" I did not touch the person I called her a worthless bitch, while pointing at her and saying I didn't want her to ever touch me. Pointing is simple assualt, i used sexual laguange, so sexual assault, I was not convicted of that though the charge still exists.

1) declare victory and cut and run. That’s what the MOU was looking like, but thank heaven that Trump wouldn’t go through with it.
2) continue bombing like we are now, and count on the constant degradation them. Could work, or it could just become another forever war.
3) go truly massive and break down all the structures that support a society. When you face a military force that is extremely resilient, then neutralize the civilian population that supports it.
The third option is the only one that can result in victory, but it requires killing a whole lot more people than we’ve been willing to so far.

I get sentenced, I lose my money, and I spend 30 days in brigg, and it wasn't surprising. All through the "hearing" he did nothing, of course, because Summaries are just that. You don't really have to do anything, the adjudicator will just do what he was told, and he was told to fuck me. So he did, and I didn't care, because he might have the rank but he don't have the balls, (it's recorded in my page 14)
He stands up, The funniest thing is that the two people who were to escort me to the brigg after judgment were my friends.

They way I got it was funny as hell. We were in Ft Irwin for NTC and at the end of the 96 hour ARTEP all I wanted to do was lay down. I found an excuse to in an F16 flying over which was the enemy. So I announced I was following protocol and lay down and started shooting at it while chastizing my buddies for not helping me. As I was doing this 4 evaluators walk up just as I hit it and a big puff of smoke blows out the back.
I jump up yelling "I fukin hit it! I did that!" everybody is all "bullshit" Well I did. There was a big to do and I was the only one shooting at the time.
I went from scrubbing shitters on extra duty at the beginning to the highest peacetime medal during that NTC trip.

MPAI, laziness and The Deservening. They all go back to the Garden of Eden and the Fall, since human nature never changes.
Most People Are Idiots. You might think that's impossible with how bell curves work, but IQ is only potential. Most people don't even use the brains God gave them.
Every cheater has the same reason: "I *deserve* it." Martial infidelity, embezzling, using AI on tests -- it's all the same, and goes back to Eve. She *deserved* to have the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and decide for herself what was right. To this day, The Deservening is the source of much evil.
Adam, however, was a lazy git who had the opposite failing. He wanted to be able to just go with the flow, and not have to think for himself. Well, he could've just followed God's instructions; but He wasn't standing right there when Eve handed him the fruit, was He? (Spoiler: it was Adam who wasn't thinking of Him, not the other way around.) And to this day, people will thoughtlessly go along with peer pressure, when their hearts are shouting God's law at them.
This has all happened before, and it will all happen again.

The false choice argument of Socialism. Because we have a paid fire department that means the government should seize the medical industry and give you a doctor’s services for “free”. Because the government has a police force to enforce laws the government should forcibly seize countless industries and give you their services for free”free”.
It’s a false choice: Statism/Socialism or anarchy.

And even so, many of them operate for free…unless you donate money to them or attend one of their fundraisers.
But to a Socialist, if you want a police force, that means the government should do absolutely everything else and you should pay 70-80% of your taxes for it with a smile on your face. Socialism or anarchy, that is their argument.

I eventually realized that the recurring pattern was the Daughters of Eve recapitulating her original sin, the Sons of Adam recapitulating his, and both going to great lengths to avoid God's curse. In particular, Pearl has zeroed in on the command for wives to obey their husbands, and the great difficulty even devout Christians (of both sexes) have with it -- and I think it's relevant that it's part of the *curse*. Both Adam and Eve would *hate* that.
I don't even think she's particularly religious herself, although with fluency from a religious upbringing. But her s***-stirring ends up pointing at eternal truths.

The 20-year-old, who is majoring in musical theater at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will appear in Midsummer!, a contemporary adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Suri will perform in the 90-minute production alongside other classmates at the Trust Arts Education Center's Peirce Studio in Pittsburgh.
The show will play two nights, July 31 and August 1. Following these exclusive previews, the production will head overseas for a UK run at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 7 through August 31.
Though it has been reported previously that she was leaning towards a degree in fashion, it appears that Suri is now fully embracing her thespian roots and heritage.
In her senior year at high school, she portrayed Philoclea in Head Over Heels and starred as Morticia Adams in The Addams Family: A New Musical

Brothers Chris and Tim Vanderhook, who own MySpace through their company Variant Technologies, appear in a new documentary simply titled “Myspace,” where they open up about how much money they’ve put into keeping the platform alive and make clear their work isn’t done.
Here’s the part that surprises people. MySpace has quietly grown from around 200,000 monthly active users in 2023 to 6 million in 2026, driven almost entirely by Millennials burned out on algorithmic feeds and platforms designed to keep you scrolling rather than actually connecting. The Vanderhooks brought back the original features people loved, customizable profiles, the Top 8 friend ranking, profile songs, and a chronological feed, all of which modern social media stripped away years ago.
The platform that everyone wrote off as a digital ghost town is now its first profitable year in over a decade. Whether a full relaunch is coming remains to be seen, but the owners are clearly paying attention to the moment.
We don't deserve Tom.

I hear how strongly you feel about what you saw, and I’m not here to dismiss your experience. But I am going to stay grounded in what’s actually documented — and also help you make sense of the gap between what you personally witnessed and what official records show.
Let’s slow this down and separate the pieces so we can get to the truth without escalating.
Copilot:This is the part that aligns with what you saw.
Municipalities in New Jersey — including Princeton Township and Princeton Borough before consolidation — did participate in USDA‑supervised goose culls, especially around:
Community parks
Public ponds
Golf courses
Township‑managed open spaces
Second: Princeton Town absolutely DID kill geese
These culls involved roundups and euthanasia, usually by CO₂ gas, performed by USDA Wildlife Services.
Those events were real, documented, and absolutely involved killing geese.
If you saw “hundreds of geese killed in Princeton,” that fits municipal or USDA operations, not university operations.

So if you are working outside of the US ? Nurse, you are more right than you know.
Which is what floors me ... absolutely floors me ... about the attitudes regarding illegals here. From both Dems and Repubs.
To work in any other country ? I have to have a Passport. Always a valid hotel reservation. And usually a Travel Medical Policy. Which is cheap, by the way. Less than a $100 a week. For what you are buying ? Pay the money.
Sometimes I need a letter from who is paying me to show up. Sometimes I need to show a return ticket. The point is ... from Customs ... I'm there for a good time. Not a long time.

Assuming that bird respiratory and circulatory system are the same as mammals, that's cruel.
Our breathing rate and depth is controlled by the CO2 levels in our blood. Increased levels of CO2 increase respiration rate, and high level produce the sensation of strangling. Placing animals in a CO2 chamber is, to their sensations while dying, the agony of asphyxiation.
Per my proposal for human execution, sticking them in a nitrogen chamber will kill them, but without without the pain.

Crime fell 18% last year, on its way to a historic low.
Crime rates are on the decline in U.S. cities with the national homicide rate falling by 18%, inching closer to a historic low, the Council on Criminal Justice said Thursday. The Council on Criminal Justice released its mid-year report examining patterns for 13 types of crime in 36 U.S. cities. It found that nine of the 13 crimes were on the decline through mid 2026. ... Lopez, a senior research specialist for the Council on Criminal Justice, and Boxerman, a research scientist for the Regional Justice Information Service based in Missouri, added in their report that there is not a single explanation for the current crime trends.Of course. The "experts" always say the same thing after a tough-on-crime policy succeeds: "There are too many variables to say what has caused this."
The national homicide rate increased by 30% from 2019 to 2020. Of the nine types of crime that declined in the first half of the year, carjacking had the greatest decrease, falling by 47%. Drug offenses have continued to rise, marking the biggest upward trend at 12%. The Council on Criminal Justice projected that the end of 2025 homicide rate would likely be the lowest since 1900. It says its mid-year data "suggest" the homicide rate in 2026 will fall even further, "reaching a new historic low."
Poll of NH: AOC, Bootyjudge lead race for Democrat nominee for president; Kamala Harris is near the bottom.
But, John Nolte says, national polling puts Kamala Harris out front:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and failed former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg now lead among Democrat presidential primary voters in New Hampshire. This poll of 648 primary voters released on July 22 shows AOC at the top with 22 percent support. Buttigieg is right below her with 21 percent. Everyone else is in single digits. U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) earns nine percent support. Failed Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is at eight percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) earns just six percent. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is at five percent.
One might speculate that whites are looking at Kamala Harris' actual performance, while blacks and black women especially are looking at the Racial Injustice of not nominating a black woman. Democrats: Let's make every single aspect of culture, society, and politics relentlessly about race and "racial identity." What's the worse that can happen?
In the national polling, according to the RealClearPolitics poll of polls, Kamala is in first place, up by 11.3 points over second-place Newsom (27.9 percent to 16.6 percent). ... Democrats are also captured entirely by an obsession with identity, and Kamala ticks off three of those vital boxes: She's black, she's a woman, and although no one will say so, she's a useful idiot. This means that South Carolina is most likely to come first because it has a large black population. The Democrat Party simply cannot afford to alienate black voters in 2028, especially black women. You can ask James Talarico about that.
Iowa had traditionally been at the front of the line in assigning delegates (in caucuses, not a primary), but the Democrats decided the state was too white and too conservative to have such a prominent role anymore. Technically, New Hampshire was the first primary in 2024, but it awarded zero delegates anyway. South Carolina, which saved Joe Biden's bacon in 2020, was the first real primary that mattered. And in South Carolina, the black vote is king in the Democratic Party. For the 2028 primary season, the Democrats are having an internal battle over the first-in-the-nation status, and it has devolved into some nasty racial politics, because of course it has. This is what Democratic Party voters live, breathe, and fight about, because the only way to overcome racism is to think about race every second of the day, and have nightmares about microaggressions at night.
“If Nevada gets elevated over South Carolina, it would be because of their Latino vote,” says @ChristaleSpain. “So you would then be telling Black voters that you matter less than brown voters. And I refuse to believe that our party wants to send any type of message like that.” https://t.co/FLmzfrAKGl

A rural New York school district plans to deploy an AI-powered, humanoid robot named "Sally" as a teaching assistant tool in 11th- and 12th-grade classrooms, beginning this fall. The Daily Wire reports that the Salamanca City Central School District purchased the lifelike robot, featuring silicone skin, long brown hair, and a mobile upper body and facial expressions, for less than the median annual salary for a New York teacher.
The school district will become one of the first in the nation to introduce a humanoid robot in a U.S. K-12 classroom. Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix, the company which is currently building the robot, told the New York Focus that "Sally" will have access to the student's learning data, exclusively using it to provide specialized support based on their profile. "They'll be able to say, 'Hey, I'm student number 1234,' and then the robot will be like, 'Hey, we were talking about this yesterday, do you want to continue that conversation?'" Kiguel said. Salamanca Superintendent Dr. Mark Beehler emphasized the program's strict privacy guidelines, noting that the robot does not have open internet access, does not feature facial recognition, cannot record audio or video, and will not transmit student data back to Realbotix. The pilot program is sparking mixed reactions from parents regarding the integration of AI into the classroom.

Democrats are in the midst of a partisan reckoning, and nobody should be happier than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The environment is shaping up for her to have a legitimate shot at the 2028 nomination.
"AOC's 2028 chances" Bro I'm still not even sure about America's 2026 chances
2028 is going to be a reality check for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Either they're as large and influential as they claim, or they aren't. If they aren't, I hope we don't get another round of "corporate Dems rigged it." Maybe the simpler explanation is that there are still a whole lot of centrists in the Democratic Party.
We’ve already found out women are unelectable in America. Two women lost to *Donald fucking Trump*, the worst candidate in the history of the country. If two qualified women can’t beat fucking Trump, then America is still too sexist to vote for a female president.

This distracted me, bigly...
The professor (and right on, man!) who failed 32 of 35 students...I recognized his accent. Looked him up and he's from MS. I recognize my people. My mother and brothers have black friends who agree against the George Floyds.
Their part of the county has a facebook page alerting farms to bad people. Not many bad people bother them. Bro once had a white meth head neck tattoo guy walk by to use the phone, & house is hidden with trees down a long driveway. Told to leave & called neighbors and sheriff. Two black deputies arrived and said next time to shoot him and make their lives easier.

I used to put the Lorem Ipsum in size 2 white font as the automatic header of my work email.
We were required to keep all client data hidden unless it was going to specific people who could see it, and I noticed that some of my cow orkers would put the name and other identifying information on line one, so that it would show in the email queueueu
I stopped doing it when it started to be a problem because a cow orker couldn't figure out how I was doing it and suspected I was "hacking" the system somehow

They are just so insistent that Mrs. Clinton was the most qualified individual ever to run.
She was married to a President. How is that a qualification? Facts by assertion. “Because we said so”. Fuck you. I’m so very tired of the gaslighting
“You won’t vote for me because I’m a woman”
Maybe nobody wants to vote for you because you are a terrible campaigner. Bill was widely regarded as an expert politician. Nobody ever said that about mrs Clinton.

House Passes "Stop Insider Trading" Bill to Forbid Congressmen from Trading Individual Stocks (Using Insider Information);
Noted Lifelong Inside-Trader Nancy Pelosi Votes Against It
The bill would allow congresmen to own stocks as part of money markets or indexes -- big groups of stocks traded by managers without input from the customer.
They, and their families, will just be barred from buying and selling individual stocks, where a congressman could make a killing based on insider knowledge of coming government action that could boost, or crush, a specific company's valuation. But congressmen have been permitted to use their insider information -- either granted to them by their position on a committee or tipped to them as a straight-up bribe by company officials seeking official favor -- for decades. That's why every other congressman is a millionaire in six years. This bill would stop that. Except for when Congress starts modifying the bill by adding exceptions.House passes 'Stop Insider Trading Act' in bipartisan vote Democrats who opposed the legislation argued that the bill does not go far enough because it prohibits members of Congress and their families from buying new individual stocks, but it doesn't prevent them from owning them. The House of Representatives in a bipartisan vote on Wednesday passed the "Stop Insider Trading Act," which bans lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks. The bill passed in a 232-198 vote, with 13 Democrats supporting the legislation. A similar bill is in the Senate. Democrats who opposed the bill argued that it does not go far enough because it prohibits members of Congress and their families from buying new individual stocks, but it doesn't prevent them from owning them. "For too long, Americans struggling to make ends meet have watched as lawmakers have entered office just to leave as multi-millionaires," House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement. "This type of behavior is unacceptable and diminishes the American people's trust in this institution.Nancy Pelosi has been a virulent opponent of such a ban in the past. That's because she's become one of the richest women of the country while "serving" in Congress. The Democrats voted against this bill with the pretextual excuse "we want the bill to go farther" but one suspects they don't want the bill at all. Democrats have shown that they go into politics to plunder money from the public.
In 2021, Nancy Pelosi was asked if Congress should be banned from trading stocks and responded, “No… This is a free market.”

It is hard to make the case you should be bound by something someone else does. But if it holds up then you just move to the next relative, or family held trust in line.
I still think their assets should be put in a government held trust which returns an amount equal to the increase in GDP minus the inflation rate. Then all of the incentives would be correct.

Supreme Court already ruled on the issue. We just need Congress to follow laws that fall upon everyone else. "US Supreme Court ruled unanimously to uphold an insider trading conviction of an individual (tippee) who traded while aware of material non-public information (MNPI) received from a friend (tipper) who did not receive a financial benefit for providing the tip. Salman v. United States, No. 15-628, 2016 WL 7078448 (U.S. Dec. 6, 2016). The ruling, written by Justice Samuel Alito, settles a split of authority between the US Court of Appeals for the Second and Ninth Circuits regarding whether a tipper receives a “personal benefit” for purposes of establishing insider trading liability by simply conveying MNPI to a family member or friend."

It’s actually not that hard to prove. Because there’s always a paper trail or pattern that is highly suspicious.
And in the case of congess, it will be easy to prove insider trading when Congresscum X finds out on Monday that there’s gonna be a new regulation that hugely benefits Company Y, and on Wednesday X makes a big buy in Y.
That’s why congress is so afraid of this.

So, call their bluff and be very, very loud about calling their bluff. Make it illegal to own stocks when serving as a House or Senate representative. Make full divestiture a condition of holding national office. I have no problem with that. And, when the hold outs come back with another condition, THEN go full press on showing the public what's going on. Use real numbers of actual accounts via public filings and put some faces on the abuse.

Back when I was at Big Law, it was impossible to trade individual stocks because the firm was always working on some big merger or litigation that wasn’t public. But I would know about it. If I was able to trade on this info, I woulda made millions of dollars a year. Easy.
Congress has access to even more info than I did, but they are free to trade on it. Unreal.

Foreign Ambassador @ WH: "Great Exalted One! Our humble nation seeks [a totally lopsided] trade deal"
Trump: [insert lengthy meandering, superlative laden paragraphs...] No
FA: "Did I tell you that I stayed last night at the Trump International Hotel Washington DC?
Trump: [another lengthy praise circumlocutions and rambling] Lets get the press in here and announce the deal.
Because staying a couple nights in a Trump branded hotel would easily bribe a multi-billionaire into going against the country's best interest.

It's a lot more restrictive in many parts of finance. There are often blanket prohibitions against trading individual stocks, no matter what. There are also massive restricted lists.

This. See my post above. I forget exactly what the firm’s rules were, but they were so restrictive it made trading individual stocks almost impossible. And they did not fuck around. The last thing they wanted was some news report on how one of their employees traded on attorney-client info. You broke the rules, you were gone. So nobody did. They all invested in managed funds and ETFs.

And it doesn't prevent family members from trading. It doesn't do anything but act as a Trojan horse.
Among the complaints was that the measure exempts the president and vice president while allowing lawmakers to keep stocks they already own. Brought to you by the people who called for Joe Biden to go to prison for profiteering from his office.
Sooo are we fucked? Like, I know it's not law yet, but are basically about to pass the fucking SAVE act? Will Dems in the Senate vote against a bill with this name in an election year?
Moskowitz makes a lot of headlines during hearings, but he shows his true colors when it comes time to vote. You’ll see his name quite often voting with Republicans. The guy's a fucking plant.
Obviously the republicans are trash but these sell out democrats are just as bad. No integrity at all
That’s it. Final straw. Might as well kiss goodbye to any semblance of democratic justice. The country is truly fucked.

Insider trading was the genesis of the investigation, but she was never convicted of that. Common misconception that she was. She was convicted of obstruction of justice and related process crimes.
She was an idiot or got terrible legal advice. Or both. It was a small stock trade, barely a rounding error in her net worth. But she was defiant to the SEC/DOJ and basically told them to fuck off. They said ‘fuck me? No, fuck YOU.’ And they went after her hard. And nailed her.

A Pentagon official has been placed on leave after he was filmed bashing President Donald Trump and promising he would “stay” until Trump leaves office so he can “undo whatever’s been done.”
A report from Newsweek identified the man as Brandon Newsom, a senior official in the office of the Secretary of the Navy.
He was filmed by reporter James O’Keefe, of O’Keefe Media Group, who conducts undercover investigations and interviews.
“In the footage, Newsom can be heard saying that he wanted to ‘stay and stick it out’ at the Pentagon, adding: ‘So that way, when the time comes, I can undo whatever’s been done [by the Trump administration],’” the report said.
He said his job has challenged his “morals” and confirms he would not allow “one specific prayer service.”

A survey finding that 70% of Americans support putting half the stock of major AI companies into a public wealth fund reveals a deeper cultural shift toward viewing wealth as zero-sum and favoring redistribution of innovation rewards, unlike the more market-accepting attitude during the internet era.
This is what I call an Oh Shit moment when investors in AI realize that their stock is WAY overvalued and are looking to dump it off on an unsophisticated buyer.
The Mother of All Pump-n-Dump. How else does one explain how 70% of the population is even aware that a public wealth fund is even a Thing unless there has been massive propaganda efforts by the very people who own and control social media.

Amazing: Female USA "Sports" Columnist and Woke Karen Argues That Caitlin Clark Should Accept Being Fouled by Black Lesbians Because If She Complains She's Putting Black LGBTs in Danger
This nasty Karen claims that Caitlin Clark is "flopping" -- pretending to have been hurt when another player fouls her, or she wants a ref to call a foul on the player that collided with her.
And she says that Caitlin's flopping is a Matter of National Concern, because Caitlin Collins' alleged flopping is "putting the lives of blacks and queers in danger." She doesn't mention, at all, Clark being the target of unnecessarily rough "you don't belong here white girl" fouls. She pretends those away. She just claims that Caitlin Clark's "flopping" is different from the flopping of all other women in the WNBA -- or the "men" playing in the World Cup, who flop on the ground and start twitching if you even breather in their direction -- because her white tears might, hypothetically, provoke a hypothetical white supremacist to avenge her. Oh, and she brings up racial martyr Emmet Till, killed seventy years ago, as the reason that Caitlin Clark has to take her Physical Reparations like a good girl and shut up about it.Otherwise, it's Selma all over again. Here's a couple of passages from this Woke White Savoir Sermon:
This woke white bitch got dragged online, and protected her tweets. (Which will become grist for her next "sports" column, When White Supremacy Came for Me. Per TMZ, she's doubled down since then:
USA Today writer invokes Emmett Till, says Caitlin Clark puts Black and queer players 'in danger' by flopping
Nancy Armour's column argues Clark's reactions to officiating fuel racist harassment of opponents By Dan Zaksheske USA Today columnist Nancy Armour wants Caitlin Clark to stop flopping and berating WNBA officials. Plenty of people agree with that take, including OutKick's Dan Dakich. Others would argue that Clark's frustration is understandable, given the physical treatment she has received and the WNBA's inconsistent officiating. Either way, Armour is well within her rights to criticize Clark's behavior on the court. But Armour's latest column goes much further than that. Much, much further, as she invoked the murder of Emmett Till to try and make a point. Armour argues that Clark's reactions to missed calls put "Black" and "queer" WNBA players "in danger," essentially blaming Clark for alleged racist messages sent by people she doesn't know and has publicly condemned. ... Armour is using disputed basketball plays to push a left-wing narrative about "Black and queer" women in the WNBA. ... And this isn't the first time Armour has worked backward to make Clark the problem. After DiJonai Carrington poked Clark in the eye during the 2024 playoffs, leaving Clark with a black eye, Armour wrote that Clark needed to "call out the toxic segment of her fan base." Both Clark and Carrington said the contact was not intentional, but Clark was the player left with a black eye. Yet Armour decided Carrington was the victim and Clark was the perpetrator. What Nancy Armour didn't write about Now, let's contrast those incidents with what Armour didn't feel the need to write a column about. Last month, Alyssa Thomas drove her fist to Clark's throat during a game between the Fever and Mercury. Officials didn't call a foul, but the WNBA reviewed the play afterward, assessed Thomas a Flagrant 2 and suspended her for one game for "recklessly making contact" with Clark's throat area. Armour doesn't appear to have written a single word about that, at least not that I could find. There was no demand from Armour that Thomas consider the wider consequences of her behavior. No lecture about how her actions might inflame an already toxic situation involving the league's most visible player. But a troll sent Gray a nasty message after a different game, and Armour suddenly had enough concern about player safety to write an entire column blaming Clark. There are people who treat words on the internet as equal to physical violence, if not worse. Armour's coverage certainly suggests she belongs in that group. Thomas struck Clark in the throat. Stokes kneed Clark in the quad. Carrington poked Clark in the eye. Chennedy Carter hip-checked Clark when her back was turned. The list goes on. Yet, Armour casts Clark as the dangerous person. Clark is the one constantly subjected to excessive physicality from other WNBA players, and Armour still finds a way to make the aftermath her responsibility. When someone else receives an ugly message online, Clark gets blamed for that, too. No matter what happens, Armour arrives at the same conclusion: Caitlin Clark is the problem. ... But if you think Armour had already taken this argument too far, we've got some bad news. She wasn't done. Armour then invoked Emmett Till. Again, not satire. "The WNBA's All-Star Game this weekend is in Chicago, Emmett Till's hometown, and a local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn't been lynched. While it's incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions," Armour wrote. Wow. By invoking Till, Armour invites readers to connect Clark complaining about disputed foul calls to the history of false accusations by white women leading to violence against Black people. Clark didn't falsely accuse Gray or Stokes of committing a crime. She certainly didn't ask anyone to harm them. She complained about the referees during a basketball game. Not only that, Armour doesn't identify a single incident in which a Black or "queer" WNBA player was physically assaulted by a stranger because of something Caitlin Clark said or did. Her alleged danger is entirely hypothetical.
... Meanwhile, some of the most serious, documented off-court safety incidents in women's basketball have involved Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Paige Bueckers. Men have been arrested and charged with stalking all three players. Clark's stalker traveled to Indianapolis and sent her hundreds of threatening and sexually explicit messages. Paige Bueckers' stalker flew across the country with an engagement ring and lingerie because he believed he was going to marry her. Earlier this year, another man was charged with stalking Cunningham after allegedly sending threatening messages and delivering a package to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. All three players are White. Those cases don't prove that only white players face danger. They do show how backwards Armour's argument is. She has no documented example of Clark's behavior causing someone to physically attack a Black or "queer" player, yet she invokes Emmett Till while portraying Clark as a threat to their safety. The actual arrests tell a very different story. But Armour isn't following the evidence. She's forcing Clark into a racial and political narrative that has little to do with what actually happens on the court. ... That is exactly what NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently criticized when he said it was "incredibly unfair" that Clark had become a political football when she simply wants to focus on basketball. Armour's column proves his point. A discussion about Clark flopping and mistreating officials turns into an argument about white nationalism, American racial violence, queer identity and Emmett Till. Talk about hitting every left-wing talking point and even throwing in a few extras.

Talk about hitting every left-wing talking point and even throwing in a few extras.
"In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till," she wrote. "I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till's hometown of Chicago. I obviously did not provide enough context for that." Then she doubled down. "However, this point stands: There is a history in this country of perceived threats to white women being weaponized against African-Americans, and the danger that poses to Black players in the league. Players have been abused online and have reported receiving death threats. That has to be taken more seriously."
Caitlin Clark got punched in the throat & stepped on by Alyssa Thomas.

The left takes it as gospel that Till was innocent. So far as I can tell, their "proof" is the accuser recanted when she found out the local men were going to kill him.
Yeah, that's not proof her accusations were false. It's just as likely her accusation was true, but she felt guilty the local men were going to murder Till.

I've seen some of the flagrant fouls. It's rather obvious what's going on, and that just speaks to how amateurish the talent in the WNBA happens to be. In real basketball, hits happen hard, and all the time. Elbows in the paint is a given. It's part of the game. And, a crafty player can get away with them by being discrete and timely. Throwing punches, tripping, kicking....all that tells me is that women in the WNBA have no idea how to play the game.
(Disclaimer: Unless you were guarding Michael Jordan back in the day. Breathe funny and they called a foul)

The WNBA cannot be made rich. Clark's contributions are ultimately immaterial to the financial well-being of the league because it is just a large money pit that the NBA shoves cash into in order to keep it alive.
The WNBA leadership understands this better than anyone else, so they have no incentive, at all, to do anything but protect their sinecures and fiefdoms and racialist/gender/sexual biases.

You can get good information out of a biased source but it requires adopting the same rules that lawyers use when questioning a hostile witness. Statements against interests are probably true, bits and pieces of a news article may be correct as to names, locations, etc. but only the gullible assume that the whole thing is the unadulterated and homogenized truth.

For more than five years, the American public was told that the science was settled. The laboratory-origin hypothesis was dismissed as implausible, The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 became the definitive scientific narrative, and those who questioned it were censored, ridiculed, and marginalized
Congressional testimony from Dr. Ralph Baric and thousands of pages of private Slack messages reveal that the scientists closest to the evidence privately debated laboratory scenarios, acknowledged uncertainty, discussed gain-of-function research, and questioned many of the very assumptions that were presented to the public as settled science.

I am pretty sure that Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, etc. never received that high of a percentage.
Shaq probably received the most intentional fouls, but those were hacks on his forearms mostly, and not flagrant fouls.

"United States has already lost World Cup with its greed and hostility"
Excerpt:
"The U.S. men’s national team could make a historically deep run and the tournament could be filled with wondrous goals and compelling games. It will not change the fact that we have shown ourselves to be a hateful and greedy nation, one where leaders are only willing to welcome a world as they want to see it rather than as it exists, and the love of the game is exploited for top dollar."

Louis Till was an American soldier who served in World War II. After enlisting in the United States Army following trial for domestic violence against his estranged wife Mamie Till, and having chosen military service over jail time, Till was court-martialed on two counts of rape and one count of murder during the Italian Campaign. He was found guilty and was executed by hanging at Aversa. Till was the estranged father of Emmett Till, whose murder in August 1955 at the age of 14 galvanized the civil rights movement

BREAKING: DHS confirms to
@FoxNews
that ICE has arrested a Southwest Airlines flight attendant while at work on July 14th. DHS says Lorenzo Thompson is a Jamaican illegal alien who came to the US on a visa on 4/27/2021, which was set to expire on 10/16/2021, but he illegally overstayed it and failed to depart.
DHS says he will remain in ICE custody pending his immigration proceedings.
In a statement, Thompson's Dallas-based union (TWU Local 556) acknowledged his arrest, and said they've been in communication with his family and legal counsel.
The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement is decrying his arrest, claiming he has no criminal record, a valid work visa, and was "following every legal step toward citizenship.”

"Once in a while, though, one stumbles across a piece of unintentional comedy. On Tuesday, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' propaganda outlet on X (Yes, they have one) posted a video loudly proclaiming that the IRGC has "begun assassinations within Israel" using a drone. They were, of course, lying. Painfully and obviously so.

But you're right in that I was spoiled by listening to Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall call the Reds when I was growing up. Nuxhall, who was probably drunk, would say nothing for 30 seconds at a time, just letting the crowd noise come through. Crack of a bat in the background.

I don't know much about Clark beyond my standard lusting after tall athletic women but I can't believe she puts up with this.
If I bought this sh*t league, before i shut it down and fired everyone I would call in every ref they employ, i would spend a large amount of time playing highlights of all the sh*t they don't call, and then i would fire them and try to find some way to legally not pay them their pensions. And maybe i would employ some day labor Blackwater guys to physically throw the refs out of the building. That entire league is a disgrace.

CIA Report: Air Power Alone Can't Win Wars
I've been saying this since day one.
Since WWII, air power theorists have promised a victory from the skies alone. It's never happened. (You can say "Japan" but that was an atomic bomb, and there was an ongoing ground and sea war going on at the same time, and the promise of a land invasion of the home islands.) Technology is always advancing so there is often a plausible argument for why a victory through the skies is possible now -- the B-52 can drop more bombs than any aircraft ever imagined, cruise missiles can hit a specific window of a building, etc. -- but it's never once panned out. Ukraine is proving you can fight the Russian army and navy to a standstill -- or better -- with air power, specifically, drone power. But drones are fairly short-range. I'd love a drone invasion of Iran, but those drones would have to be launched and serviced from inside Iran, or at least right on the border. So what is the endgame here? I don't think it's going to be an actual victory. It might just be the unsatisfying situation after the Gulf War, when Saddam remained in power and remained belligerent but the US just kept up a regime of "maintenance bombing," as one guy put it, for years and years. But an actual victory? Not likely.Report: CIA Says Iran Won't Yield to US StrikesThe CIA are a bunch of paper-pushing failed-academic clowns but I think they're basically right.
But that's all nonsense. It's just the "Muslim way of war" -- attack attack attack, and then call for phony "peace talks" while you re-arm and plan your next attack. "Negotiations" just mean "give Iran time to procure new Chinese missiles and build more drones." We could maybe kill enough Iranian regime thugs that eventually there are too few of them to control the country, but that will take years. The likely path to victory -- excluding a ground invasion, which seems politically impossible -- will come after a year of bombing so devastating the economy completely collapses and the public is willing to wade into heavy machine-gun fire because they're starving and rip the Muslim conquerors to pieces. And I don't know if we have any other choice than that grim endgame. In very expected bad news, oil is over $100 per barrel again.
A new CIA report indicates that U.S. military strikes are unlikely to change Iran's negotiating stance with the Trump administration. U.S. military strikes won't significantly alter Iran's negotiating stance, according to a new CIA report. A new U.S. intelligence assessment, first reported by The Washington Post, concludes that despite days of sustained U.S. airstrikes, Tehran is unlikely to soften its position or make major concessions in negotiations with the Trump administration. According to current and former U.S. officials cited by the newspaper, CIA analysts believe the United States and Iran remain locked in an uneasy cycle of conflict that falls somewhere between war and peace, with neither side showing signs of backing down. The assessment has reportedly been briefed to the Trump administration as U.S. forces continue retaliatory operations following renewed Iranian attacks in the Middle East.
...
Despite the military pressure, intelligence officials reportedly believe Iran's leadership remains focused on preserving the regime and is prepared to absorb significant losses rather than accept U.S. demands. ... "They continue to send signals that they want to talk, that they want to negotiate, but their behavior is what we're responding to," Rubio recently said, noting Iran has continued launching missiles and drones at ships in the region.
Global oil prices on Thursday crossed $100 a barrel for the first time since May, after Houthi militants in Yemen claimed to have struck two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. The reported attack, which came alongside continued strikes between the United States and Iran, threatened to worsen an oil shock that had already amounted to one of the largest in history.Trump threatens to attack Iran every time its proxy army in Yemen attacks ships, but I don't think that's much of a threat, because he's already attacking Iran. The jihadists of Iran plan to fight until the last dead civilian. Below: The US Marines rappelled down to the deck of an Iranian shadow tanker and seized it. Everyone understand a machine-gun pointed right at your head.

We learned this in Desert Storm. We put on an absolute clinic vis a vis air power and still had to put boots on the ground.
The difference here, though, is the mission. We're not trying to throw Iran out of a neutral nation. We're trying to kick them in the nuts until they stop trying to get a nuke and deplete their ability to spread fuckery around the world.
We CAN achieve that through the air.

The little cheap suicide drones are short ranged, but, as Grok summarizes:
Large Iranian drones (primarily reusable UCAVs/MALE/HALE types, distinct from smaller one-way loitering munitions like the Shahed-136) have claimed operational/combat ranges typically from ~1,500–4,000+ km, depending on the model, payload, altitude, and mission profile (e.g., one-way strike vs. round-trip with return).
While for the US:
MQ-9 Reaper (Predator B) – Primary US Armed Drone
Operational range: ~1,150–1,900 miles (1,850–3,000+ km), depending on configuration and sources (e.g., combat radius often cited around 1,000–2,250 nautical miles in some operational contexts). Payload: Up to ~3,800 lb (1,700+ kg) across hardpoints — Hellfire missiles, GBU-12/38 bombs, JDAMs, etc.
That's pretty good range, payload, and (for the US especially) precision.

If regime collapses it is a victory. There have not been enough bombings and targeted assassinations. And not continuously. Those mullahs and IRGC who do not want to be blown up, should move to Phakistan. The rest should wrap themselves in kafans.

Kind of funny that administrative options are off the table since there's no world body that would support us in ordering the mullahs to drop their ambitions, so we just have to be the king of the jungle and make them do it.

They don't care about having a functioning country, so long as they can sell oil to China to finance their war machine.
And once they get a nuclear weapon (which may be a forgone conclusion now), they'll use it on Israel. Who will have no choice but to utterly obliterate Iran with their own nukes, if they can.
Iran is in a death spiral, and millions of people will suffer and die as a result.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at July 23, 2026 03:28 PM (FZ29D)
I’m completely serious. Can you win a short term military engagement where the objective is degrading capability, infrastructure and supply lines with just air power.
Yes, yes you can douchebags.
What you want to achieve is ultimately about your objective. How you engage on the battlefield and what you define as victory drives what assets you use to achieve a successful outcome.
Posted by: Vengeance at July 23, 2026 03:28 PM (aLiqC)
So I'm thinking about the drones Ukraine uses, which are not single-use "suicide drones," but drop land mines and grenades on top of individual soldiers. When you're just killing one or two guys, you can't justify the cost of a single-use Reaper. You need a cheaper way to deliver the kill.
That's what I mean when I say these drones need to be serviced (refueled/charged up) and re-armed with more grenades to drop on people's head.
Posted by: ace at July 23, 2026 03:28 PM (1wjle)
This isn’t an all hands on deck declared war, all out total war. And maybe that’s the problem. But, depending on the objective, “winning” being a bit of a red herring, air power may be able to achieve the objective if not total unconditional surrender and a signing ceremony on the USS Missouri in the Gulf of Hormuz

I see the problem with ridiculous ROEs. It's a related chronic issue.
It can be done - but you have to be willing to employ naked brutality without compunction or any concern for the civilians. In fact - you have to put them on the table, purely for resource and area denial.
People want to marry bombing to surgical tactics against an asymmetrical opponent. Retarded. Pipe dream. Ridiculous bullshit. It's a total warfare strategy, not a man trying to restrain an errant but beloved child.

The goal of this administration pertaining to Iran, as has been stated many times, is to ensure no ability of Iran to make a nuclear weapon and the free flow of traffic in Hormuz strait.
It is not the goal of this administration to defeat Iran in a war.
I would however rejoice if the civil people in Iran would take up arms (why don't we smuggle them in) and kill the sons of bitches.

For example, what if we actually destroyed Iran's bridges and power plants? Their economy would be completely trashed, and they would be facing mass starvation. Am I supposed to believe that at that point Iran would not either 1) surrender 2)cease actions that annoyed us, without officially capitulating or 3) occasionally chucking cheap drones around but otherwise ceasing to matter to the rest of the world as the population drops 70-80%?

The IRGC doesn't care about small scale loses of military assets and personal or civilians.
So to get leverage you need one of two things;
1) Large scale military/civilian losses
2) Direct losses to the IRGC leadership
I prefer #2, but #1 would work as well

I'm honestly shocked people are still asking this.
From the beginning the administration has said over and over and over that they have four goals.
1. Destroy Iran's missile capabilities.
2. Destroy Iran's navy.
3. Destroy Iran's ability to get the bomb.
4. Destroy Iran's ability to sponsor terror.

I disagree that the goal should be "winning" this war in the conventional sense. We don't want any Iranian territory. We aren't trying to reverse an invasion.
What we want can be mostly done via air power. And that is a complete degradation of the Iranian military and the Iranian nuclear effort.
Sure...regime change would be great, and I was one of the suckers who thought it might happen. But the Mullahs and the IRGC have been weakened enough that regime change is now possible (albeit unlikely), and Iran's enemies (Israel, the Kurds, etc) can feast on it.

Just fucking annihilate this shithole. We can live a bunch of queens crying about it. They always cry anyway. Nothing stops the tears. We can't suffer another defeat in a major war. Our deterrence has faded. It's almost gone, and we just can't afford for that to happen again.

About half of Iran's food is imported. A full 25% of all its imports is food.
The ceasefire and MOU that allowed them to import again, might have gotten them one cargo ship of food. Another was due to arrive a couple of days after the end of the ceasefire, and the US Navy turned them around.
They're probably starving now. Not to mention the issues with their currency.

With the advent of television it has become increasingly difficult for any Western democracy to commit large scale assaults on civilian populations.
The only large country that can come close and get away with it is Russia, which is only a democratic facade. The Russians favorite tactic in urban warfare is to use artillery to level a city before capturing it. They did that throughout the first few years in Ukraine which enabled them to take several cities. They did allow evacuations before the shells started dropping, so even the Russians have some limits.
America hasn’t been able to inflict real pain on an entire nation since WWII because we do not want to be thought of as the bad guy, I guess.

But, it doesn't really matter. Something like 95% of their imports were through their ports on the Persian Gulf, strait, and Gulf of Oman. And those are shut down. Hell, we hit Bandar Abbas a week ago, their major port.

March-level bombing of Southern Iran and sending destroyers to physically escort tankers will open the Strait. Blockade will break Iran in two months if kept up. Israel sucker punching Iran would accelerate things. Doesn't matter if the IRGC refuses to give up. Physically prevent their fight to the last Nazi mentality from mattering.

I don't think that's what's needed to win a war through air power. You just destroy critical infrastructure (and kill individual leaders) until they capitulate or are so devastated that the are no longer a threat (and serve as a warning to others).

Seizing the oil production and related logistical infrastructure would be a worthwhile objective for the neighboring countries to undertake with US assistance. But that's apparently not possible.
And, if reports are true that Iran (with help from either/or both China and Russia) is targeting the billeting quarters at regional bases to kill Americans in an attempt to curry favor with anti-American forces here at home and abroad, then we really oughta' target a mosque a day and level it.

There's an entire civilian population that if properly armed and let loose would likely have this wrapped up in about a month. Just don't work through a middleman like the fucking Kurds.

We need to stop relying on the lace panty Ivy League poofters at CIA to arm the average man-on-the-street Persian. I guarantee that they gave all the weapons/ammo to the Kurds because randomly distributing weapons without having strict serial number control of every Glock and AR15 that entered the country would be icky and turn the Persians into swarthy rednecks demanding a NASCAR Tehran 500 race.
Give the mission to the E4 Mafia at Department of War. Randomly air drop a bunch of yeet cannons, Glocks and Evil Black Rifles into Tehran, Qom and Isfahan, especially over the universities.

It is not mentioned much but the dynamics of this oil crisis has the money staying in the US to develop more oil and gas resources domestically and in Venezuela rather than shipping it abroad to Arabs and paying for it in inflationary petro dollars like in the 1973, 1979, and subsequent oil shocks.
And we are actually selling high priced oil to foreigners which makes this oil crisis ahistoric by recent standards making its effects on the US far different than in previous episodes. As a result our trade deficits are dropping.

Libya's Ghaddafi-led regime was already facing substantial rebellions from both the west and the east, with the western forces eventually breaking through, due to the assistance from NATO air power, and capturing Tripoli (and Ghaddafi himself). This was similar to the proposals in March for assisting a rebellion that would have advanced from Tabriz to Tehran, but these proposals were rejected by elements in the United States government opposed to regime change in Iran.

But considering how the Limeys have hated, Hated, HATED Americans since we pulled their asses out of the fire at least twice in the 20th Century (three times if you count the Marshall Plan).... Fuck them. They didn't want to spend their own money to maintain their own defenses, so I don't have a problem with standing on the sidelines watching them learn that it was a really bad idea.

Mortgage Rates Rise Further as Iran War Sends Oil Back Above $100, July 23, 2026
It begins, "Mortgage rates continued their ascent this week, climbing to a new 11-month high as the escalating conflict with Iran puts upward pressure on oil prices."
Nothing compared to years ago: Mortgage rates in the early 1980s did spike past 18 percent, hitting an all-time high average of 18.63 percent in October 1981. This happened because the Federal Reserve raised interest rates heavily to stop runaway inflation.
Nevertheless, buyers nowadays are .... softer. And the msm loves it because Trump. And it didn't mattered for Biden though 30 year mortgaged were peaking near 7.8% in late 2023, hovering significantly higher than at the start of the POTatUS' term.

1. The lost their biggest customer for refining crude (Venezuela)
2. Their inflation rate prior to any hostilities was pushing up near 40%.
3. Infrastructure in Iran prior to hostilities was atrocious. Over 1/2 of school buildings had partial or full collapse of roofs. Water desalination was abysmal in efficiency, and agricuture was in the toilet.
4. Protests were starting to ramp up.
Then Israel (and eventually the US) started dismantling their intelligence and IRG hierarchy. But, the protests dissipated. This was because the Iranians in power set up countrywide check points that disallowed people to travel to hot spot protesting areas. I thought sure we'd see those checkpoints targetted to encourage an internal changing of the guard. I even thought there would be Israeli teams on the ground addressing them directly. But, that never seemed to happen.

When peeps at Amazon see a lower price for a product on a competing site, looking at you Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Newegg, etc., they then contact the supplier of said product and threaten to stop selling that product if they don't raise the price on the competitor or make the product an Amazon exclusive.
Only they've got a team on it using AI, to keep up with the tens of thousands of products on Amazon.
Somehow some emails got leaked and they've got all the 'pricing negotiations' in them.
And I'm old enough to remember when Walmart was in this same hot seat.

Eh.
He's killing Iran with the blockade. Literally, the country is dying. Malnutrition has definitely started for most of the population. Starvation has probably started for a good chunk. The GDP has collapsed. All that Iran has left is sending out PR notices about things that they definitely haven't done in the strait while randomly firing a handful of missiles a day into Gulf nations who aren't happy about it.
This war started 47 years ago. Trump is ending it by ending Iran as a nation that can do anything outside of its own borders since the leaders aren't interested in anything other than being a state sponsor of terrorism.
The 12th iman can rule Iran as long as they are poor and can't threaten anyone.
All while the Gulf moves to make the strait unimportant by building new pipelines, so even if Iran starts threatening the strait again, it doesn't matter.

I can't remember the type of UK warships and, I think, 2 aircraft carriers...but the number total was around 5 of the former British Navy.
Several were rusted and in dry dock. Two ships, nuclear powered, were going for a parade or something and stalled and had to be hauled back for repair.
This is the Mighty Britannia long may she wave goodbye.
I read this months ago and it may not be accurate from memory...but basically they are not a lot of help on the seas at this point. Can't even defend barbarian invaders in rubber rafts arriving daily from Calais across the English Channel.

Our military, thanks be to God and President Trump, are the best and most modern in the entire world. We have weapons unheard of, and I am fine without knowing what could be being developed.

Voting for the war powers resolution, as all DEMs & 4 Republicans did today, encourages the IRGC (aka Iran) to believe they can just wait this out.
The U.S. can not "bomb Iran every day for the next year" because a war weary Congress won't allow that.
What really caused the sudden collapse of the South Vietnamese govt was the DEM landslide in 1974, and the immediate end of aid to South Viet Nam pursuant to the seating of the new Congress.

The U.S. forces flew in excess of 10,000 combat sorties in 39 days -- with the loss of 12 KIA (6 due to a mid-air collision) and a half-dozen-ish aircraft. That is an amazing achievement. No other military in the world could have achieved that. But if you don't think the aircrews were getting fatigued and weapon-stocks getting low, you don't understand warfare.
The operational pause was for two reasons:
1) Rest the aircrews and refit the aircraft
B) Give Iranian leadership a chance to not be savage goat-fuckers and refrain from attacking neutral shipping in international waters.
Since the IRGC failed the test, we get to keep kicking them in the 'nads. This is essentially a siege.
Yes, we're paying a bit more for gasoline at the pump, but China has been really hurt. No more cheap oil from Iran.

But if you desire to defend it, protect it, and keep it for civilization you must do that on the ground, the way the Roman legions did, by putting your young men into the mud.

Ethiopian Migrant Culturally Enriches Three American Citizens In, Get This, Minnesota
But I'm sure he was an engineer or doctor or scientist developing a cure for cancer. So the three senseless, barbaric murders he committed are balanced out.
This "migrant" could not convince the government to let him bring his family over from Ethiopia. He decided that he was being discriminated against because he was black and an immigrant, which is exactly the murderous grievance instilled in him by the American left.Suspect charged with killing three people in St. Paul apartment leasing office Charges filed against the man accused of fatally shooting three people in St. Paul on Monday allege he opened fire on the apartment management company employees after being told he could not cancel his garage parking contract. Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, 30, was charged Tuesday in Ramsey County District Court with three counts of second-degree murder. He's accused of killing Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano, 25, of Inver Grove Heights; Dena M. Silcox, 56, of St. Paul; and Adam J. Wilwerding, 43, of Oakdale. They were fatally shot inside an apartment complex leasing office on St. Paul Avenue on Monday afternoon. The charges state that the shooting was captured on surveillance video and claim that Binessu also confessed to his roommate. Court documents allege that Binessu "executed" the three victims. ... Binessu's longtime roommate reportedly called police and said Binessu had confessed to the shooting. He said Binessu had quit his trucking job and planned on enlisting in the Navy -- and that he had just sold his vehicle. "The roommate thought Binessu planned to speak with apartment management about cancelling his $65/month parking garage contract because he had sold his car," the complaint states. "The roommate spoke to Binessu hours later. Binessu said he had argued with apartment management and ended up killing three people." .... The shooting happened a short time later. The complaint alleges that surveillance video shows Binessu shooting each of the victims multiple times. The complaint states that he was arrested Monday night on the Iron Range, driving the car of one of the victims. Binessu allegedly told investigators "he hated the American system," the complaint states. "Binessu complained of unsuccessfully trying to bring his wife and children from Ethiopia for seven years. Binessu said the prolonged immigration process contributed to his divorce and separation from his children." He also reportedly complained that apartment management would not help him, and that he believed he was "treated unfairly because he is Black and an immigrant."
As Black Conservative Perspective wonders: How long until Tim Walz pardons him?
The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled late Tuesday that illegal aliens do not have the constitutional right to roam the nation during their removal proceedings. The ruling, led by Chief Judge Jennifer Elrod, appointed by George W. Bush, overturned the lower court's decision granting bond hearings and releasing three illegal immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, putting the lower court's orders on hold pending a full appeal. The Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Division's Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate said the decision makes clear that "illegal aliens do not have a constitutional right to roam free in the United States during their removal proceedings." The lower court's February decision -- approving the petition for a writ of habeas corpus -- came after the petitioner, an illegal alien named Ignacio Sosnava Rodriguez, was arrested during a traffic stop in 2025. Rodriguez, who had lived in Texas for 22 years, filed the petition while being held by ICE, arguing that detaining him without bond violates his Fifth Amendment due process rights. The court, using the precedent of the three-factor test from Mathews v. Eldridge, determined that Rodriguez's petition was valid. However, the appeals court disagreed, denying Rodriguez's petition without the appeal needing to reach the court's full bench of judges. Shumate said Tuesday's decision sets an "extraordinary precedential order" that will be used in similar cases going forward. Similarly, the appeals court also stayed the petitions of two other illegal aliens, Alejandro Villegas Angel and Miguel Angel Gomez.

I remember seeing a video from a US program to teach Afghan women about art - I don't know if it was a USAID program or not.
And you'd figure if you were going to do this, and knowing Islamic sensibilities, you'd bring in artists from moderate Muslim countries and cover things like landscape paintings or some such
Oh no...
So in this room of Afghan women covered head to toe you had one flaming American guy and one American woman in a tight t-shirt teaching them about Duchamp's urinal. The Afghan women looked so confused.

If he did that in the South, he would qualify for the death penalty x 3 for such a stupid reason. Up North, the idiot judge and jury in Minnesota will simply cry along with the defendant about how unfair it is and give him the equivalent of a parking ticket for killing three people. Same crap as in the UK. Suicidal empathy for shitheads.

An example of 'falling' - Lakeville is a rural suburb outside the Twin Cities. From the Red Star Tribune:
-------------------
Every Friday, members of the Al Hadi Association gather for prayers in a building owned by the Lakeville school district. It’s a cramped, rented space, with other tenants scattered throughout the building who must work around others’ schedules.
So members of the group rejoiced in June, when the southern suburb’s planning commission recommended the City Council approve a necessary permit for their proposed 3,600-square-foot mosque. The mosque, the second that could be approved in Lakeville in less than a year, reflects the shifting demographics of a once more racially and religiously homogenous community.
“Just like any other religious institute, we have the community need to run our services as well as the programs for our youth, so they can understand our faith,” said Muhammad Shabaz, a leader of the nonprofit association that organizes prayers at a rental location. “So that is the reason we are looking for a bigger space.”

We have been successfully using that procedure for decades, treating them like others on bail with ankle bracelets. Its why we used them besides the SCOTUS ruling that the 5th CoA ignored.
The Trump regime did it so the two private prison companies, who are Trump donors and who Tom Homan worked for, can take $15 MILLION every DAY from US taxpayers to hold these people in inhumane conditions.
There's no incentive for them to go to court appearances if ICE ambushes people at trial, either, and MAGA had no problem with that.
as terrible as this is, it’s also going to be a catalyst for a lot of long overdue change in our country. You might say the bubble is about to burst. We are closing in on mid terms and after that, it will be a dog fight to the 2028 election, but these wrongs will be made right.

8 Trillion bucks has a lot of federal bucks sloshing around to fund this shit via third party NGO cutouts. That is why Senator Cornhole aka Cornyn of Texas is trying to keep the PEPFAR farce going on in Africa to the tune of six billion bucks.
A lot of that money stays here because it is given in grants to these NGOs and they then turn around and spend it on globo homo immigrant services and Democrat voter mobilization/registration schemes.
I'm sure that Cornhole expects a slice from big Pharma for his soon to be created Foundation of RINOism in Texas so he can live in the style he is accustomed to live.

Abdi Nor Iftin is a naturalized U.S.citizen who came to the country when he was 29-year-old.
He first talked about his experience in December 2025.
He said he won a green card lottery, and got the US around 2014. Even with strong English skills, and his desire to get far away from Somalia, he says the first questions from fellow Somalis were about his tribe. Then came the instructions on getting 'free' benefits.
Details:
🔺Somali migrants pressured him to get Section 8, and sign up for Welfare
🔺When he said he wanted to work and become American, he faced backlash with the migrants refusing to integrate and viewing welfare as a 'way of life'
🔺The same Tribal loyalties from Somalia continued, and those who spoke against the pattern were shut down.
🔺He said the Somalis were used to depending on money sent from abroad, so they didn't work to better their own community or rebuild.
🔺The idea of receiving things the easy way “evolved and became part of our way of life for 30 years.”
🔺He said that there are like-minded Somalis but they are silenced.

All the bullshit in popular media about people just snapping and killing people is fake and gay. Killers show escalating criminal behavior before they kill someone including violent threats, assaults, etc.
And in most US murders, both the victim and the perp have criminal records--depending on the city picked, it can be as high as 80-90 percent.
Criminals do criminal actions and if they are not caught, they often escalate from non violent to violent crimes because doing crime becomes enjoyable for them psychologically. And that is why recidivism is so high. Same as drug addicts or pedophiles. Wire your brain where you enjoy doing evil shit, then it takes effort that most criminals or addicts are not willing to do to get out of that lifestyle. Faith is about one of the few ways that seems to accomplish it and sometimes not even then.

According to court documents, Binessu had quit his truck driving job two months prior. He had recently completed an interview with a military recruiter and told his roommate he thought the interview went very successfully.
Because he was preparing to join the Navy, he sold his car to CarMax on the morning of the shooting. He then called the Davern Park Apartments leasing office to cancel his $65 a-month parking contract since he no longer owned a vehicle.
During interviews with investigators, after the murders, he expressed extreme frustration with the "prolonged immigration process," stating he had been unable to bring his wife and children to the United States for seven years. He claimed this prolonged separation contributed to his divorce and that "life without his family no longer made sense."
Thank heavens he didn't get into the US Navy!!!

For one thing, the allies were getting their ass beat for the past prior several years. America was not pre-destined to prevail, and the people in charge knew this.
They had instituted a system of rationing and price controls and all but nationalized every business and factory large and small. No civilian consumer goods were manufactured in any quantity, it all went to war material production. You had to turn in your empty toothpaste tube to purchase a new one. Gasoline rationed to a few gallons a week for most. 35 mph speed limit. Car tires? Forget it. And on and on and on.
Workers, materials like lumber, concrete, copper wiring, etc., there is no way in hell they would have went to the logistical trouble to incarcerate thousands in remote hastily built camps, unless they really thought there was a threat. Possibly remote, but they weren’t taking or leaving anything to chance.
Remember, they actually wanted to win, and minimize American casualties. Weird, I know, but they actually did stuff like that back then.

When illegal aliens are detained and held in federal establishments and then given a hot, one-way ticket out of the country courtesy of Expulsion Airlines, that's a gut-punch to the grifting NGO industry.
No grift for lodging illegals for months/years in classy hotels
No grift for taxpayer-funded health care
No grift for taxpayer-funded education.
No grift for tax-payer funded food stamps and welfare assistance.

This happened to an in-law relative of a friend. He was born in MX and soon after his parents legally immigrated here. But he never did anything, his parents should have done it when he was an infant, to become a legal resident.
He's a good guy, works hard, married, etc. But he fooled around all his life without getting a card. Things were lax, to say the least, with no expectation of change. Cops ran a check at a traffic stop.
Bam! elections matter.
He is now a resident of Guerro MX.
That's where his parents family lives. His mom went with him for a couple of weeks to help him acclimate to the 'foreign' culture.

I think a high percentage of these criminals are known criminals in their home countries. The home country just gives them a plane or ship ticket just to get rid of them. For sure, Cuba, Venezuela, and the like were doing that for decades. Castro was well known for just opening up his jails and herding them all to us.

The answer is the Niihau incident. A Japanese pilot landed on a small island that was mostly populated by ethnic Hawaiians but a few ethnically Japanese people.
The Hawaiians captured the pilot but then the Japanese people helped him escape.
The American government took this to mean there was a serious risk of ethnically Japanese Americans assisting Imperial Japan.

No, he's a good guy. He's a father, a husband, a worker, he has no accent, totally integrated into American society.
I think this has happened to many, he just fell prey to the laxity of the times. Ever since Reagan, if one participated in society as a citizen there was no kickback and zero motivation from anywhere to go forward for citizenship or residency. A don't make waves or don't ask don't tell attitude from the govt.
It's easily conceivable that this happened to hundreds, especially before mass public awareness that Trump was serious. And more than that, That he was capable of carrying out the threat.
So many politicians say they are going to do something and don't

One of JD Vance's Secret Service Agents Is Under Investigation for Leaking "Sensitive" Information
Just filled with rotten apples, one after another.
The agent is on administrative leave as the government conducts both administrative and criminal investigations.
A member of Vice President JD Vance's Secret Service detail is under investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive information, the agency confirmed Thursday. The administrative investigation could become a criminal inquiry, Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service's chief of communications, said, according to CBS News. "While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter, one principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated," Gugliemi said. The allegations, according to Gugliemi, involve compromising operational and information security. Gugliemi didn't provide specific allegations, nor did he name the person under suspicion.
This follows last week's story that the White House teleprompter operator had made $100,000 making political bets on Kalshi, based, assumedly, on inside information about what Trump would be talking about before he actually said it.
President Donald Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on more than a dozen of Trump's speeches on the prediction market Kalshi, federal investigators with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Gabriel Perez, a technical assistant to the president who has been operating Trump's teleprompter since 2016, is in talks with federal regulators to settle allegations he used his inside knowledge of the president's speeches to win more than $100,000, the sources said. According to the sources, Kalshi alerted its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to the suspicious activity on its "Mentions" market, where users can bet on whether specific words, phrases or topics are uttered during a public speech. "Our surveillance team promptly flagged and referred these trades to the CFTC, and we are cooperating and assisting regulators," Kalshi's head of enforcement, Bobby DeNault, said in a statement provided to ABC News. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday afternoon, following ABC News' report, that Perez has been put on unpaid administrative leave. Leavitt said she spoke with President Trump about it, and he thought it was a "disgrace" and made the decision himself to put Perez on unpaid.

There have been 3 serious attempts - one guy is dead and the other two are in jail.
But there has been no visible effort to do anything to the groups working with the would be assassins or even an effort to roll up the people providing them material assistance.
If Trump goes down does Vance keep this going the same way or does he actually role up leftwing networks?

Look, if you're a Secret Service officer, setting up a Presidential candidate to be shot by a sniper is about as bad a job as you could possibly do. It's gotta be #1 at the top of the "DON'T" side of the "Do's & Don'ts" page in your orientation packet when you get hired.
But long before they pulled that fun little stunt, they were plagued by scandal after scandal after scandal, from Thai hookers and blow, to shaking down Ukrainian hookers and Arizona cops to cover for Hunter Biden's little oopsies, and all sorts of fun stuff in between.
If there was a police agency begging to be defunded, it's that one.
Get rid of it.
Let the candidates and Presidents recruit their own loyal executive protection, and just pay for that.

I started on 10 Oct, 2025 with $24,671.
Current value is $29,729.
Total dollar gain: $5,057
Simple total return: +20.5%
Annualized return: ~26.9% per year
Time elapsed: 286 days
Over the same time period, the S&P500's simple total return was +14.4% and annualized return was +18.8%. I comfortably beat the market.
I did options trading with cash secured puts and covered calls.

I agree. However the argument that things are bad for society and should therefore be illegal or heavily regulated (whichever) is going to have a line you are willing to draw and stand on, that's all I'm saying. And just be aware I'm sincerely not attacking you or what you're saying. I think it's interesting.
Do I think legal gambling is good for society? No. Do I think legal weed is good for society? No. Would I more likely fight one over the other? Probably. There will be many other such things that people want to argue against on the same grounds.

Since time immemorial, these Praetorian Guards have always been trouble, and they only get worse as time goes on.
Our Presidents are effectively emperors, and weak ones who don't have a lot of power in the first place, and are always vulnerable to their retinues and the enemies within them.
Let them select their own security, and let the checks come from them personally, even if the funds start as a public disbursement. If these button men owe their highly paid positions to one man, they'll cover his ass, come hell or high water, let alone on a hot day with a gently sloping rooftop and a lot of encouragement from his opponents who are also their current bosses.
It really is a stupid system we have, if you give it any thought. It's already gotten a bullet into at least one President's face. Just shut it down.

My guess is that is how the Democrats (and probably some GOP roll)--they leave their classified info in such a way as to be easily accessible and then get paid by donations to campaigns or their non profits to launder the cash. So Killary leaves her info on a deliberately unsecured server and makes bank from foreign donations to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Debbie lets ISI Pakistani scammers provide all the Dems with top classified info and the Democrat campaign funds get millions in laundered cash donations. And I suspect that info ended up in Iran and China with ISI simply being the collector of it.
The other part of the scam was to have a commonly accessed gmail account and post draft emails with attachments but never send them. Anyone with the account and password could then take a look at what was in there without it being passed via email and easily intercepted. Discord chat logs are also being used as I suspect other chat type channels likewise

Jim Jordan Makes a Criminal Referral to the DOJ For Jack Smith's Perjury; Melania Presses Sanctions Against Democrat Media Party Hatchet Man Michael Wolff
I know, I know: file it in the "Nothing Will Happen" folder.
But still. The criminal referral is for his perjury in denying that he and his team had read the contents of congressmen's texts.Melania is meanwhile seeking judicial sanctions against Michael Wolff, a persistently unethical and loathsome gay gossip columnist posturing as a journalist.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued a criminal referral against former Special Counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday for allegedly making "willfully and intentionally false statements" when testifying before Congress last December. "The Committee on the Judiciary writes to refer strong evidence that appears to show Jack Smith, former Special Counsel, knowingly made false statements during his December 17, 2025 deposition," Jordan wrote in a letter sent to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. In the letter, Jordan questioned what Smith said under oath about obtaining phone records of 44 lawmakers who communicated with President Donald Trump and other members of the White House related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election. "This information calls into question the completeness and accuracy of statements that Mr. Smith made under oath to the Committee regarding his team's access to the content of Members' text messages," Jordan wrote. Jordan stated that responses by Smith during congressional testimony "gave the impression that neither Mr. Smith nor his team had access to the content of members' privileged text messages." "We now know this to be false," Jordan wrote. "His conduct can only be understood as an effort to thwart the Committee's inquiry by intentionally making false statements and representations before Congress. We therefore believe that sufficient evidence exists for DOJ to examine whether Mr. Smith's actions warrant a charge," the letter added.
Melania Trump files for sanctions against Michael Wolff over Epstein-linked allegations he made Her legal team argued the first lady should be granted the sanctions because Wolff allegedly manufactured a jurisdictional dispute in an attempt to keep the case in New York state court, used litigation for improper purposes and made a "frivolous" claim. First lady Melania Trump filed a motion for sanctions Tuesday against journalist Michael Wolff, after he tried to sue her to prevent her from suing him over allegedly defamatory statements he made regarding her and Jeffrey Epstein. The first lady is now looking to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in Wolff's lawsuit, along with other appropriate relief, saying the lawsuit was "a fundraising drive and a political spectacle," according to Fox News. ... "Plaintiff and his counsel asserted a legally frivolous claim, propped it up with factual contentions that lacked any evidentiary support, and used them to run a political and commercial campaign," her team said in the filing. "They should pay for Mrs. Trump's fees and expenses incurred for the process they abused." The legal team argued Wolff wrongly claimed the first lady was heavily involved in the Epstein scandal, despite her denying a friendship with the late convicted sex-offender and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.Hello!

This should bring the nation to a screeching halt. the president has literally weaponized the justice department and is going after his political/legal adversaries. Any other president would be impeached for even thinking about doing this!
I hope Jack comes through with his usual mixture of grace, integrity, and quiet enthusiasm for shoving this administration's lawfare right back into their faces. Let's see the discovery phase on this one
so the Republicans have officially delivered more consequences to the guy who investigated the jan 6th coup than the guy who planned it. Sickening but not surprising.
These guys must not think they're ever going to lose power again. Do they not realize that this political persecution is going to inspire those who will want to do the same to them when they regain power?

Sanctions are usually -- and deliberately -- hard to get. The law allows and assumes that parties will litigate their cases aggressively and push the envelope. So it takes some truly outrageous behavior and/or truly frivolous legal arguments to get an award of sanctions.
I've seen it only a few times in my entire career, and even then almost always after the judge already told the plaintiff/defendant to knock it off. Such as the infamous "Motion to Kiss My Ass" that some lunatic made years ago.
I don't know enough about this case to opine on Melania's chances of winning the motion. But I do know she will start with at uphill climb even in the best circumstances.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel. Garland named Smith to the post on November 18, 2022, to oversee federal criminal investigations involving President Donald Trump.
👉🏼U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland; November 18, 2022, for Investigations into classified documents retention and the events of January 6, 2021.
Before serving as a U.S. special counsel, Jack Smith worked at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, serving as the Investigation Coordinator in the Office of the Prosecutor from 2008 to 2010. In that role, he supervised sensitive international investigations targeting foreign government officials and militia members for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
👉🏼The United States is not a state party to the Rome Statute and does not recognize the International Criminal Court's (ICC) jurisdiction over American citizens.

A lot of people of late have been noting the left just pretends to not understand how basic things work to "win arguments". This is another thing they do though, completely ignore context.
Back during the 2016 campaign people on the left noted that even if she was guilty charging Hillary Clinton would be a something out of a banana republic - in a democracy you don't arrest the opposition and Trump listened.
And as a reward in 2020-4 he was charged with various BS non-crimes. Based on the standards the left themselves claim to endorse, Smith should be investigated, arrested, and spend years in jail. "No one is above the law!" right?

That said, I wanted Mrs Clinton arrested at the Inauguration, 1201 pm. I know there was some question whether or not she was going to attend. It’s possible there was at least some concern, however remote, that this was a possibility. Lost opportunity

These are spooky times.
But one of the spookiest things I've ever seen was back in '21-'22... the full-court press, whole-of-society effort to convince people that reading and thinking is not only bad for you, but a subversive, antisocial thing that Garbage People do, and how Good People should ignore and ostracize the antisocial elements who do this evil "reading" and then have the temerity to pollute the public discourse with uncredentialed mindthoughts.
It was one of those moments in life where you look around and think "wow. I didn't notice exactly where it happened, but somewhere along we got... here. People are actually able to say this shit without being laughed out of public life."

I've got a theory that the left went barking fucking mad when the Soviet Union collapsed and they stopped getting regular Pravda upgrades.
The ChiCom stuff doesn't work as well because 1) the ChiComs don't give a shit and 2) even if they did, their psychology is so different from ours that it's hard for them to generate propaganda of the quality that the Sovs did at their peak. They can generate short-term screeching (e.g., the recent pitchfork mobs going after "data centers", when not one out of a hundred of them has a fucking clue what a data center even is), but it doesn't have the staying power that the best Soviet Big Lies did.

I often ask myself if my beliefs are correct. One of the positive signs that I'm on track politically is that my "tribe" freely quotes the opposition, usually even in context. And, outside of brainwashing our children, we welcome freedom of speech for both sides because it allows us to make our case and also allows everyone to see that our opposition is insane and can't make a rational case for their beliefs.
On the other hand, the opposition can't afford to allow alternative views to be heard and do everything they can to protect their bubble.

I also have another filter I apply since I've been talking politics with people for a long time now is "what would a leftwing in good standing 20/30/40 years ago say about this?"
And the results are comical. For example during the gay marriage debate there were people that argued that it was a slippery slope and we would get things like...tranny rights.
And the left's answer at the time was: no wants wants special rights for trannies, we all know they are mentally ill and need help (though free mental health of course) and that has nothing to do with gay marriage anyway h8ter

Yeah, there's still this bizarre belief among our so-called "intellectual" class that the Brits are far more intelligent and sophisticated than us.
I'd like to sit them down in front of one of the British episodes of the old COPS series and disabuse them of that notion.
The one I saw featured a drunken white chav fighting a drunken black chav over the dubious charms of some ugly 300 pound white chavette, followed by an incompetent car thief trying the old "it's my cousin's car and I don't know where the paperwork is" ploy, when the car was actually stolen from a police office.

Yes, watching to see results of lefty policies is also a way to test truth. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the lefties. A major example in my life is a relative who told me how much better off I would be when ObamaCare passed. Our insurance premiums quadrupled. She actually kindly helped us pay for it for a few months but still believes ObamaCare helped people in our situation. I lost my insurance to ObamaCare and have found it completely unaffordable ever since.
I had tried appealing to another relative to not vote for Obama's second term, telling her I would lose my insurance if he won (I did lose it). Not long after ObamaCare was instituted she was bewailing how unaffordable insurance was for her young adult kids. No, she did not admit I was right. She just didn't understand how this could be.
Just one example where they deny the totally predictable outcome of lefty policies.

The Morning Rant
Ocasio-Cortez has been coy about her 2028 plans and careful not to rule out either a White House run in the race to succeed term-limited President Donald Trump, or a bid for the Senate against longtime Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is up for re-election in two years. When asked about a run for higher office, Ocasio-Cortez recently said her goal is to "change the country."
Americans might complain about the direction the country is taking, as they have many times in the past. But they usually draw the line before supporting pie-in-the-sky progressives. Just take a look at Stevenson (twice!), Humphrey, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, etc. Alexandra Donkey-Chompers might want to reevaluate her public pronouncements if she wants to be successful on the national stage. As a comparison, look to the election of 1968, when the country was in the throes of a calculated campaign to split the country, drive us out of Vietnam, and catastrophically "change the country." The result was an unpopular Republican getting elected by a large margin (301 electoral votes) even with Wallace's third party splitting the vote! Hopefully the DSA and their ilk will continue to drown out the traditional crypto-socialists like Buttigieg and Newsom, although the thought of Chlamydia Harris running another presidential campaign warms the cockles of my heart. Just imagine the debates between AOC or Harris, and Vance or Rubio. If that doesn't make you smile, nothing will! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

AOC's got that squeaky, little, annoying voice.
Almost like a Minnie Mouse type cartoon character.
She won't play well even in the DemocratCandidate Debates.
She needs to start smoking 10-20 stogies a day along with gargling cask strength bourbon to get that annoying voice of her an octave or two lower.

So they set about short circuiting the electoral process has been my sense for many years now. I couldn’t prove it, but it was obvious.
Election fraud also means they don’t even have to pay lip service to moderation or tacking to the center. When was the last time they did that? 1992

Harris 2028 White House bid ‘not going to happen’: Former Biden aide

I have a low degree of confidence in this statement. Biden's aides were also assuring us he was fit as a fiddle and running circles around them every day.
Texas is demonstrating why Harris is absolutely going to be the nominee. Black voters are absolutely incensed that they had their chosen candidate 'removed' for someone else. Given the propensity of black voters to actually VOTE and the frequency with which they vote for Dems, as a bloc, they are required. Add in South Carolina's early primary and demographics...
It's going to be Harris. It has to be. Without Harris, black voters don't show up - a fact about which black Democrats are going to be shrieking from the moment after Talarico loses until November 2028.

Except that Biden is now irrelevant so his ex-aides have nothing to lose by telling the truth.
I also think that the Dems are slowly awakening to the realization that they can't keep kowtowing to blacks, because the rest of the country finds it offputting, and blacks who are politically successful in the current climate are simply far too left for the rest of the country. Finally, it is also true that black men do not like Kamala. They detest her.

Nah. Her popularity has always been a media myth. I always laughed at endless talk of her beating Schumer for Senate. And now her moment passed her by. She's technically DSA, but not not one of the newer faces.
There's no need to challenge her in a primary at the moment, but the second she becomes expendable -- or if someone newer and cooler wants her seat -- she is done.
I think for sure she is gone after redistricting after the census, if she even makes it that far.

Obama won because in 2008 the Republican Party was a mess. Under Bush, they ignored their middle-class base. The Democrats were going to win, it was just a matter of how much.

Normal black people are finding themselves in the same boat as normal gay people. Those that want to just be quiet and live a regular life are attached by default to the most ridiculous elements of their respective tribe, and everyone is tired of those people.

People have deceived themselves into believing this is a real demographic. It's how gay marriage became "no big deal" among "conservatives."
And now they're all sad they have to bake the cake, and treat men in dresses like their women, and let men compete in women's sports. The entire gay subculture is inherently transgressive. Just like polls about black opinion on the OJ trial showed it isn't just a small sliver that has screwed up values, the gays are largely the same way. Trying to pretend the occasional Bessent is representative and that you can make some sort of peace with the gays without any of the weird stuff is folly.

dems were stoked when trump got the nom in 2016 and look how that turned out
Her chances of winning a national election aren’t good. Democrats have a horrible track record of female candidates and she’s especially polarizing.
Same with Pete. He’s extremely qualified and very good as an orator/debater. He always comes off a very intelligent and reasonable. The country isn't ready for an openly gay man or female president.
Both the female candidates they put up were centrist and generally unpopular. Polarizing can be good. Polarizing drives some people to vote against you (but let’s be real, republicans are always polarized) but it also drives people to vote FOR you on your side.
Mark Kelly needs to run on the Dems side. He would be a fantastic candidate for a general election.
Harris needs to stop. It’s insane she’s getting any attention at all in this. As much as I love AOC this isn’t the time. Later yes. We’ve got to clutch. CLUTCH.

Just what is wrong with owning personal property?
Our U.S. Government was established to secure personal property. It is up to each citizen to increase their personal wealth through hard work and nurturing their family.
That is orthogonal to Government control. Our U.S. Constitution was specifically created and endorsed to limit government authority, that 'prohibited' citizens' inalienable rights. Democrat Socialism cannot exist without destroying our 'inalienable rights'!

The Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem" is a significant historical painting completed in 1867. It depicts the catastrophic event of the Second Temple's destruction during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE. This moment marked a pivotal point in Jewish history, leading to widespread diaspora and suffering.

Francesco Hayez
The painting is well done, very detailed.
The Destruction of The Temple of Jerusalem is an 1867 history painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez. It depicts the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the storming of the city by Roman Army during the Great Jewish Revolt. (Wikipedia)
Reportedly, the Temple in Jerusalem has been destroyed twice in history. Both destructions occurred on the same date on the Hebrew calendar, the 9th of Av (Tisha B'Av), a day of mourning marked annually at the Western Wall Plaza.
---
The First Temple (586 BCE): The Babylonian Empire led by King Nebuchadnezzar II.
The majority of the Jewish population was exiled to Babylon, beginning a period of captivity that lasted for decades.
The Second Temple (70 CE) The Roman Empire led by General (later Emperor) Titus.
Culminating a four-year Jewish insurgency in Judaea, the Romans besieged Jerusalem during Passover. After breaching the city defenses, Roman legionaries set the Temple complex on fire. The destruction was total.
There is much more detail available. Read.
A fine lesson. I might hang today's art offering.
Thanks.

During the destruction of the Jerusalem Temples, the massive fires were fueled by flammable structural wood, furnishings, and stored oils rather than the stone walls themselves. While the buildings were made of stone, they contained extensive internal wood and combustibles.
Roof beams, cedar and sycamore framework, ceiling panels, and large doors. Tapestries, woven linen, curtains, and wooden furniture.
Sacred olive oil stored for the menorah, alongside other flammable goods in adjacent storerooms.
Intense heat from burning wood and oil scorched, cracked, and caused the limestone structures to collapse.

The one that stuck out for me was the one about prophet Zechariah. They point out that the people of the Second Temple were wondering if they should bother fasting since, you know, the Temple's back.
Ezra-Nehemiah closed the issue when they instituted the Wood Festival around that time. Of course when the temple was destroyed again several of those festivals weren't able to be held.

The Morning Report — 7/ 23 /26
Good morning kids. Say what you will about President Trump, and it is my opinion that he will be remembered in the fullness of time as among our greatest of President's primarily for reestablishing sane American foreign policy that both ensures our own national security but ultimately results in the true liberation of the oppressed masses suffering under the yoke of tyrannical communism/socalism especially here in our own hemisphere. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post, led by for once by an intelligent, driven and unabashedly pro-American Secretary of State in the person of Marco Rubio, Latin America which for far too long had been relegated to basket case status is undergoing a reverse domino effect wherein socialist hellhole nations have rid themselves of socialism and are embracing liberty and freedom. Most notably Nayib Bukele in EL Salvador as well as Javier Milei in Argentina. Although Hugo Chavez and the Maduro-ista cancer has been excised from Venezuela the situation there is still in flux. But that said, I think America and Americanism are on the march here in our hemisphere for sure. And that said, there are rumblings in the air that the long imprisned Caribbean Island gulag of CUBA might before long breathe free for the first time in over 66 years. About the only people who would not be celebrating would be our fellow citizens in name only — the cadres and leadership of the Democrat/Left.
The secretary noted that the end goal would be to uproot the communists and have "Cuba where the people of Cuba can experience prosperity, safety, security and a better life moving forward." “We’re prepared to be realistic about how you do that and patient about the serious process that leads to that. We’ve engaged them from time to time in that regard and know where we stand on that issue. Hopefully that’s where it arrives.That would be marvelous but how can we uproot the communists right here at home and ensure that America and the American experiment can survive and thrive for another 250 years. Despite the rise of the so-called Democratic Socialists who are neither of those things although Socialism is the cancer from which untold millions can will and have perished. It must be utterly smashed if we are to continue, and there seem to be positive signs. We reported on a recent poll indicating a broad swathe of the nation are genuinely terrified and revolted by the prospect of Communism,
Four in ten Americans view communists in the United States as posing a major or moderate threat, a recent weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked respondents, “How much of a threat, if any, do Communists in the United States pose today?” Across the board, 43 percent considered communists in the U.S. as at least a moderate threat. More specifically, 18 percent consider it a “major” threat, and 25 percent consider it a “moderate” threat. Another 23 percent consider it a “minor” threat, and 33 percent said communists in the U.S. pose no threat at all.And yet, this shit:
There’s little question that the Democratic Socialists of America are more influential than any time in recent history. Indeed, it’s perhaps the most influential arm of the Democratic Party today, wielding policy clout and winning local elections. But are DSA policies really so popular? July’s I&I/TIPP Poll asked voters to find out. The DSA’s recent “Workers Deserve More!” document outlined its main policy goals. For I&I/TIPP’s July Poll, taken by 1,473 Americans from June 29 through July 2, voters were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with five separate DSA proposals. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points. First, I&I/TIPP asked about DSA’s proposal for the “abolition of jails and prisons.” Only 26% agreed either strongly (10%) or somewhat (16%) with this plan, while 62% disagreed strongly (47%) or somewhat (15%).The other questions/DSA policy aims are equally revolting as I'm sure you can imagine. I guess most people who are reportedly terrified of communism are unaware that its precursor is socialism. At some point you just throw up your arms at this mess. We'll see if the two term presidency of Marco Rubio can deal with this. I look forward to that, Democrat election thievery notwithstanding. Have a good day,

- This accusation comes almost immediately after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill confessed that there were at least 6,600 non-citizens on her state’s voter rolls and that around 400 of them had voted in an election. The Trump administration's estimate of non-citizens registered in New Jersey is much higher, at around 35,000. Altogether, the Department of Justice has already identified almost 300,000 citizens registered to vote across a handful of states. This is a gigantic issue, the extent of which Democrats are desperate to cover up.

Letting the rioters know they're succeeding. Not sure it's the best course of action, but whatever.
I still contend the rioters should be kept 500 ft. or more from any entrance or gate. If they advance, shoot to kill.
The rioting will cease either out of fear of death or lack of live rioters.

Some reports, a couple years ago, suggested Iran had at its disposal 10's of thousands of drones and thousands of ballistic missiles in storage. With more being assembled weekly.
I'd imagine the materials for those, if not domestically available, are running very low. But the stockpile apparently is robust enough to continue hitting local targets in the Gulf area. Longer range stuff, able to hit Israel or further, is apparently nearly depleted.
TL ; DR Iran's running out of shit to fight with. Slowly.

Every week there is a report where data researchers just look at data to compare two sets of facts.
Example: In the 60 years from 1907 to 1966 vs. 1967 to 2026 how many days were over 95 degrees. So you just read the data from 100 (or whatever number is sig.) and then compare the 2.
The second set of data (67 to 26) had 18% FEWER days over 95.
It is not getting warmer.

There is a lot of justification for that argument. The US has transmogrified from a Rule of Law nation into one of How Much Justice Can You Afford, where the auctioning off of "justice" begins in the law universities and political party machines before it gets to the actual courtroom.
At the rate the US is socially plummeting to meet the third world lawlessness and corruption that has defined all cultures since expulsion from the Garden, justice will become defined by the fiat of regional warlords.

I'd say that Xi's purges of fellow Communists in CCCP government and military, coupled with his new ethnic cleansing policies, will cause a revolt in China. He is helping the US of A, in a funny but predictable way.

Again, I don't think that is random, Salty. Trump was asked the other day if he plans to do anything about China meddling in our elections. He replied something along the lines that it was old news. And generals got purged.
Meanwhile, he has taken control of 2 of China's major oil and gas stations. Which just so happens to be crushing Cuba at the same time.
To me the most overlooked part of all it was regaining western control over the Panama Canal, arguably a much more strategic waterway than Hormuz.
Strategary.

The Bill Ayers types, who were early participants in the Cuban influence campaign, have infested our universities for decades. They focus largely on the struggle against the imperial forces that have enslaved people who go to Ivy League schools when they aren't summering in the Hamptons.
The key, of course, is to redistribute the wealth from the rich to those who truly deserve it, the workers. Because only people in menial jobs work. Story kind of ends there.
Remember when AOC famously said Elon was stupid and didn't deserve his money cause he didn't earn it? They believe the hardest working guy on the planet doesn't really work. That's what they are taught.

I have been emailing many of JJ's links to fellow conservatives (around 26 of them), and only two or three actually respond and comment. Meanwhile, the left eats, drinks and sleeps politics. 24/7. Our side is too busy doing, well, something. I have finally stopped sharing with other conservatives. Over the years I have given them links to AOS, and other conservative sites, going back to my Facebook days in 2012 or so. I would post a link to a story, and less than a minute later, someone would comment. They read the headline. That's it. The left i at war. Our side is at the mall.

Without Trump around, it's far more likely the Republicans will be rolled by a totally fake "movement" suddenly sweeping the nation that more than half our side will believe was organic and somehow unstoppable because "young people".
And most elected Republicans still want to be rolled. They find it far easier to lose and complain and collect scraps from the big boy table than to command the big boy table.

Many young adults entering the workplace today are mostly unprepared. They have been taught nothing about keeping a schedule, showing initiative, personal responsibility and so on.
We have several local industries. Manufacturing and agriculture mostly. Medical stuff too. And there's at least a couple big names like Ford and UPS. However the social media feeds are chock full of people bitching about having to keep a schedule, do tasks they didn't think they'd have to do and so on. Many hate to "take orders" from someone else.
They quit after a week or two. And then bitch about not being able to find another job that suits their lifestyle. So they pander online. Ask for handouts.
There's a lot of them. Not one is capable of working a normal job without having some sort of accommodation made for one or more of their phobias or insecurities.
Socialism was taught to them from 1st grade as the solution to all that.

So, two thirds of people agree that the Communists pose a threat.
The threat from Communism isn't a threat to do a bad job with public art. It's a threat of death and slavery.
So what, pray tell, is to be done?

What’s really going on here is most likely that Mamdani is simply not as interested in the affairs of New York City as he is in Israel and Gaza. As a Marxist Twelver Shi’ite, he holds to two ideologies that want to see Israel destroyed, as a colonial oppressor and as an insult to Islam. That issue interests him much more than questions of the safety of New Yorkers, or the cleanliness of New York streets, or whatever else may be on his desk at the moment.

China largely rendered the Soviet model of communism extinct, the Cuban Marxist project not
only survived, but thrived. The institutional power of Leninism, Stalinism, and even Maoism – at
least in their original orthodox forms – has been severely diminished. But Castro’s ideological
project now enjoys something approaching ideological hegemony in leftist circles both within
and beyond the West. By the turn of the twenty-first century, Havana had solidified its place as
the ideological capital of the modern radical left.

I might recommend the Book of Job.
He ends up wanting to call God on the carpet so to speak.
God tells him okay but first, to show you have standing (swidt) consider these things.
As an aside, when God tells him consider Behemoth and leviathan, Job would have known/seen the creatures He was describing.

I'm tired of the "highly educated poor economic performers" formulation, because, in fact, these people were mal-educated.
Getting a degree in "Gay Semiotics in Silver Age Aquaman Comic Books" means you haven't been educated in any serious way.
But, even if your degree isn't in something totally and easily recognized as frivolous like...oh, say..."Women's Studies" (i know, I know), how many jobs are available for that degree? Very few, vanishing few, is the answer.
These people are either stupid or gullible dupes or poor kids who were scammed by some "councilor" trying to fill up the department they taught in.
Their situation should prove the college is not for everyone.

Mao Zedong. Remember, the 2009 White House (Christmas) holiday display ornament controversy? Simon Doonan, the creative director of Barneys New York, helped design the holiday decor for the Obama’s first Christmas in the White House. The eco-friendly holiday theme was called “Reflect, Rejoice, Renew.” Reportedly (NYT), over 800 large ornaments from past administrations were pulled from storage, sent out to community groups and charities across the U.S., and redecorated with American landmarks and local scenes before returning to the tree. (Wikipedia)
A 'few' specific ornaments - an image of Andy Warhol’s Chairman Mao, a picture of drag queen Hedda Lettuce, & an Obama face swap on Mount Rushmore - draw heavy criticism as being inappropriate. Doonan & the White House note they were part of a 'diverse, nationwide community art project.'
17 years pass, our 250th anniversary.
Following his appearance at the College Democrats of American national convention, left-wing political commentator & streamer Hasan Piker draws heavy backlash after a resurfaced video showed him calling Mao Zedong "one of the great leaders of this world."

We're stuck helping to cleanup the socialist hellhole nations in the Americas so we can rid ourselves of the Bush created "Temporary Protected Status' programs.
Also, advocates & lawmakers continue to push for the passage of 'permanent legislative solutions,' such as the Dream Act or the American Dream and Promise Act, "to secure a stable future for Dreamers."
The deeply flawed program is not an answer to immigration into the U.S.

When people lose their DACA status, they also lose their jobs, their income, their driver's licenses, and their protection from deportation.
Parents, teachers, and essential workers who contribute $6.4 billion to our economy are losing their ability to work and provide for their families every single day.
There is no question that these delays are one of the most serious threats against DACA in the program’s 14-year history.
We're urging USCIS to resolve these delays immediately and Congress to deliver a pathway to citizenship and pass legislation like the Dream Act."
Note "Like" the Dream Act.
And the usual, "They're not on Federal programs." Not directly & immediately. But on state & local programs for schools and colleges, medical, Special Ed, school meals, etc., and through extension their families/households receive Federal programs.

In part, WASHINGTON —
A Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance’s security detail is under internal review and has been put on administrative leave after being suspected of leaking information for a news story that included details about Vance’s travel, a source familiar with the matter said.
A second source confirmed officials had identified a person believed to have been leaking information about Vance.
The review is being conducted by the agency’s internal affairs component, the first source said, and it’s unclear if any possible administrative punishment or criminal charges could be forthcoming.
The employee is suspected of having been a source for a recent story on MS NOW about agents on Vance’s security detail dismayed by the purported burden the vice president’s personal travel schedule has placed on his security team. As part of its coverage, MS NOW also described Vance’s planned travel, including flying with his son on a Marine Corps helicopter to a golf lesson — plans that were later aborted.

See southeast Pennsylvania.
For example: Delaware County is not the most populated county in Pennsylvania, though it does rank among the highest for property tax rates in the state.
Financial and real estate data sources like SmartAsset and Property Tax by State rank Delaware County as number 1 out of 67 in Pennsylvania for its overall effective property tax rate, which sits around 1.67% to 1.84%.
Tax burdens vary heavily by municipality and school district within the county itself, ranging from lower rates in areas like (wealthy) Cheyney (1.31%) up to much higher rates in places like (impoverished) Darby (4.95%).
Guess where they've generally been embedded because most can't afford the AWFL Radnor, Swarthmore-Wallingford, Garnet Valley, Marple Newtown, Haverford, Springfield unless holding green cards & usually having U.S. spouses.

>Dude. I told the IRS to fuck off. I earned the money once and they took it. I worked for it a second time filing for a refund. The third time they wanted me to re-earn my money is when they weren't satisfied with my direct deposit and wanted me to set up an account and password and drivers license, and facial recognition and a selfie. I said fuck it, you can keep the money , I don't need to re-earn it three times.
Finally they sent me a live check. These people are scumbags.

A "hard science" because it uses math.
Do you remember when the "scientific concensus" was so excited because the JWST was going to show us galaxies in their earliest stages of formation?
And then --- Huh, galaxies must have started forming much earlier than we thought.
There was a guy who called it correctly.

Now I don't know how this works but evidently the FLRW (big bang) metric somehow states that galaxies will appear to get smaller out to a certain distance ( red shift 1.6? ) and then appear larger and larger the further away they are.
So, using publicly available data from the JWST this same guy did a study that showed they just appear smaller and smaller the further away they are.
Response from they/them? Galaxies themselves are getting smaller and smaller the further away they are.

Monotype, now owned by private equity firm HGGC, appears to be leveraging its massive library and legacy agreements to restructure font licensing across the board, aligning it with its current business model. In doing so, they are not only auditing websites and digital properties for font usage but also scrutinizing long-term licenses for renegotiation or revocation.

Good evening Horde! So pleased you have joined the fun. Always great to "see" so many in this little corner of the interweb. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. No Orange Crush. Sorry. Free refills otherwise!
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are discouraged due to the heat. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're here for an argument, please go through the second door on the right and then close the door behind you. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review an Alaska bush pilot's claims that state authorities have tried to illegally seize his $95,000 airplane after a passenger brought a six-pack of beer on a flight bound for a dry village. The pilot, Kenneth Jouppi, sued to block his plane's seizure after he was convicted of an alcohol-related misdemeanor charge. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled in the state's favor that Jouppi's plane was subject to criminal forfeiture laws.
In April 2012, Jouppi was preparing to fly a passenger from Fairbanks to a remote village, Beaver, where alcohol was banned. The passenger had packed beer with other groceries in her luggage. State Police troopers searched Jouppi's plane before it departed and spotted a six-pack of Budweiser in a shopping bag. Jouppi, his company and the passenger were charged with a misdemeanor offense of knowingly transporting an alcoholic beverage into a dry community. The passenger pleaded guilty. A jury convicted Jouppi and the company after a trial. A judge sentenced him to three days in jail.There are dry villages in Alaska??

So, dry village, means no airplanes in or out with alcohol, and they are inspected prior to flying in.
This dude didn't realize his passengers had put beers in their luggage. Instead of racking the passengers, the State went after the pilot, which is already horseshit, but the pilot has this airplane which is worth $95,000, so guess what they decided to take?
It is way out of line with the normal fine for that sort of thing, which the pilot didn't even do, so it's a test case for the Supremes.
Small airplanes are the life's blood of AK, particularly the villages, none of which you can drive to except in the winter on a snow machine.

Very common mod for 25 years has been to put a Subaru engine in a Vanagon. The original VW Waterboxer was a dud, and a Subaru is a good fit. Because it is horizontally opposed, it is relatively low and will fit with the stock engine cover. People have put Jetta and Golf engines in them, but they require custom engine covers and one loses cargo space.

No real complaints other than as I mentioned recently - if you have to replace a tire you have to replace all four unless they're fairly new.. I don't know why. It's in the manual. Has something to do with the symmetrical All Wheel Drive.
The 2012 has a timing belt which cost $2500 to replace as 'routine' maintenance at 105k miles. I'm told later models have a chain which doesn't have to be replaced. The headlights are also difficult to replace, especially the driver side. I've given up trying to do it myself since Pep Boys will do it for $50 or so.
The Outback is nicely appointed and gets amazing gas mileage for a car it's size - almost 30 mpg at 70 mph.
We're considering replacing the 2012 with either a new Outback or a Lexus. I'm leaning toward the Subaru as it runs on regular. Lexus wants Premium.

It's not clear if the pilot even knew that the passenger had beer in his luggage, and yet the statute references "knowingly." I don't get it.
I wonder if SCOTUS was looking for a case with really great facts for the appellant, in order to strike down disproportionate forfeitures. If so, they found a beauty.

The real problem is that the pilot had no idea the passengers had the beer on them, and he never did fly any of it to the village, so why they went after him is because his plane is worth so much money, and they would get that benefit. It far outstrips the price of the fine. Ridiculous.

That was a big failure before 2010. They came up with a new gasket, and that's pretty much disappeared as a problem. My forester had the gasket replaced($2200) at 41k, but it has run great since. It laughs at snow, until it gets higher than the bottom of the grill. I've cruised around Jeeps, 4W trucks and even quattros on snowy uphills. It now uses a quart of oil every 4k, but I change it around 3500, so no big deal. 236,000 mi.

The upper midwest is getting hit extra hard because the great lakes are now literally awash in shit (thanks Canada!), but otherwise the outbreak closely tracks one specific population.

There are 32 Fully Dry towns in Alaska. There are another 28 that are dry in the sense that they don't sell alcohol. The State law requires you know which towns fall into which category, and the asset seizure is written right into the State law (not just the municipality). There are no mulligans on the law. "I didn't know" is not a valid defense. Many believe that Alaska is so strict on the asset seizure because they use some of the confiscations for their various government employees once acquired and don't auction all of them off.
I'm not sure how the pilot gets snagged for the passenger's indiscretions on this one, especially since the confiscation occurred before leaving Fairbanks.

Well, so is the alcohol-fueled violence in the villages, so they decided they would rather have the law on their side.
It is hard to overestimate the horrible damage alcohol does in these villages. Between the lack of real jobs, the sheer laziness due to welfare checks, the lack of education (even though we put schools in every damned one of those villages), and the incest, I find it remarkable that anyone survives living there, but they choose to do so anyway.
I don't have issues with villages deciding to be dry, or the law enforcement of same, but this case is over the top, blaming the wrong guy, and taking much more than is warranted.

There was one problem, every time I had it serviced, there was a very expensive surprise, a part that cost way more than it should have. One in particular, a chunk of ice was kicked up by a car in front of me and hit a head light. The glass on the front was broken. The head light still worked, the reflector behind it was intact. The bracket that held the headlight to the car was undamaged. When I tried to replace the glass at the front of the headlight, I discovered the glass, the reflector, the bracket, even the light bulb were all sold as one part and it cost me 210 dollars, in 1989, to repair that headlight.
There were several other expensive surprises over the ten years I owned that car and now, I have a list of car companies which I will NEVER EVER do business with, Subaru is at the top of that list, Chevrolet is right underneath it.

In Indiana, only a drug store (a grocery store with a pharmacy) can get a license to sell hard liquor, so hard liquor sales stop when the pharmacy operations end. Pharmacies can sell beer and wine, but grocers/convenience stores can’t sell hard liquor without the pharmacy license setup.

Dad, reportedly a sometimes excessive drinker, did a lot of travel around the state. On family vacations, I saw that he always had his own little traveling tavern kit, a nice leather case with bottles, jiggers, martini mixing equipment, et al.
I'm sure he would have been horrified at the next generation's traveling kit, with pipes, papers, lighters, film canisters for the smoke. Not the same at all, no sir.
State laws prohibiting liquor by-the-drink were gradually ignored by clubs who got around the BYOB rules. Those laws were changed after an aggressive state atty general started cracking down on enforcement. Since then, you can not only buy cold beer over 3.2, but buy it in grocery stores, along with wine and liquor! IIRC, there were still some dry counties for a while. With, of course, liquor stores and bars all along the county lines.
Those were days.

Wife drives a 24 Forrester.

I got really good at those over the years. Best one I ever had was an 83 Wagon. Best car in the snow I had ever owned.
Had a line a few years ago on a 83 Brat with the rear facing seats. I wish I had went further with buying that one. Wife didn't want another "project" car in the yard.

There are dry villages in Northwest Territories, too. A tacit admission by the Indians that Indians cannot hold their liquor. Still, this is a very petty prosecution by the State. A six pack of Budweiser wouldn't get a baby drunk. Pilot was not smuggling, nor aiding and abetting smuggling. It was goods for personal consumption by the passenger. Full stop.

It ain't stuck.
That's a Loyale, or GL1800 wagon.
Came with a 1.8i litre opposed four putting out a whopping 85 hp from the factory. After it was introduced and sold like crazy in the mountain west it became apparent that the little engine couldn't at high altitudes and they gave it a turbo. The boost provided was just enough to make the engine viable above the tree line.
My FIL had one and took it out west for a multiweek driving vacation. Got caught in a rare rain event and loaded up the undercarriage and wheelwells with so much clay he had to take it to a town to be pressure washed off. Never missed a beat, even fighting clay to turn the wheels. Impressive for what it was. Loved the 2 stick setup. But extra slow. 2nd slowest car I've had.

The problem with "dry villages" and "dry reserves" is that those villages and reserves simply export their problem drinkers to the nearest "wet" community. So the Indians come from the reserve in to the Big Smoke, with the expressed intention of getting rip-roaring drunk, thereby cementing the "drunken Indian" stereotype into the minds of the locals who have to deal with them. And there is no incentive for the Indians to learn to drink socially in moderation. It's institutionalized fail.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union, which, believe it or not, is still around, was the driving force behind Prohibition, and conducted rear guard activities after its repeal. "If we can't stop you from drinking, we can make it as uncomfortable as possible" accounts for many stupid drinking laws. For instance, it was illegal (in 1973) to stand while drinking in WA state. I don't know if that is still law.

Seriously. I found myself in KS late one Sunday night and tried to buy a beer and found out I could not buy a beer in KS past 2000 (or 8pm) on Sunday nights. WTF?
Or: In TX, no hard liquor sales except in liquor stores, but go to NM and you can buy hard liquor in Walmart.
Back in 2021 IIRC the law changed in TX so that you can buy alcohol starting at 1000 on Sundays rather than 1200. Not at liquor stores which are all closed, however.

Now, you're being pedantic. Yes, it had two gaskets replaced.
Laying flat like that, the gaskets were continuously exposed to the coolant, which softened them, which led to failure. The new gaskets had a metal "sheath" over the material.
In standard I and V engines,the coolant drains away from the head gasket(s).

Ortega has shit the bed. I suspect his wife is behind this, mostly. The common people in Nica hate her guts, call her "La Bruja", the witch. The original Sandinistas, the die-hard Commies, were disgusted with Ortega, and called him "Somoza Leche", basically "Milquetoast Somoza". He actually enacted some decent reforms that would be appreciated here.

Gaskets are continually exposed to coolant in inline and Vee engines, too. If Subaru had a problem, it was faulty gasket design. You really want the entire water jacket of the engine to stay flooded at all times, cold or hot. Antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors built in.

Up here, they send the miscreants to Anchorage for their court dates and then don't allow them to come home. Ergo, Anchorage is full of drunken Natives who commit crimes, and nobody does a damned thing about it.
The Native Hospital doesn't even have a dry-out center. They figure it is whitey's problem, not theirs.
Hence, the drunks passed out face down on the sidewalks in downtown. It's fabulous for the tourist trade.

There is no indication that Donald Trump is extraditing Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. The political landscape is currently focused on tensions between the U.S. and Mexico regarding extradition requests for Mexican officials.
U.S.-Mexico Extradition Tensions
Key Points
The Trump administration has been involved in a standoff with Mexico over the extradition of several Mexican officials charged with drug corruption.
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has refused to arrest these officials, including the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, despite U.S. requests.
Donroe Doctrine getting real down south from Mexico to Brazil.

Another interesting astronomical discovery was announced. They've found what they're calling an "exo-satellite" in a system about 73 ly away. Or you might call it a moon. If you do, this would be the first such exomoon discovered. The star is a red dwarf dubbed CD-35 2722.
Orbiting it at distance of 67 AU, is roughly 30 Jupiter mass brown dwarf, called CD-35 2722 b.
Now, they discovered that brown dwarf has a Jupiter mass object orbiting around it. And so just what to call it is a matter of debate that hasn't been decided. A brown dwarf is not a planet, and not a star, but in between. If it were a planet, it's satellite would be a moon, no question. If it were a star, the satellite would be a planet. But it's neither, so what do you call it?

Had two midrange with IH V8's. The write up was that the valve cooling design was unique to those engines. Anecdotally, I can say those gas engines held up better than any other gasser on trucks of that size even though one did drop a valve on me.

International built good engines. Kind of famous for being thirsty, though. They may have altered the coolant flow pattern to favor cooling the valves more, but most liquid-cooled engines do have coolant passages around the exhaust ports.

You can thank Jimmy Carter and Cecil Andrus for that. My Dad was part of the effort to stop the "wildernessing" (D-2 land bill) of all Alaska for 3 years, and then for the next 3 he was part of figuring out how to save the poor Indians who could no longer drive their truck out of town. Not a life-ending thing if you lived on a navigable river, but if no river the village your ancestors lived in is dead. "Big White Chief says so."

And pretty widespread ignoring of the goofy laws. That was one of the first things done after the standard capacity magazine ban happened in Colorado. A protest where people symbolically exchanged 30 round magazines at the public protest.
Then there's the "bootleggers" that operated in Levelland (just west of Lubbock), until somebody got the idea to build a small town just east of Levelland that was not "dry", and people realized they were missing out on tax revenue...

That's exactly it. Interestingly, their radius doesn't get much greater than Jupiter, maybe 2 times tops when young, and they settle right around Jupiter radius, despite being 13 - 80x Jupiter masses.
They can fuse deuterium, and the more massive ones can even burn lithium. To be called a star, it must be able to fuse hydrogen.

That Jupiter mass "moon" could itself have moons. Sub-moons, or "moonlets" or even "moonmoons" can theoretically exist but it's a tricky thing stability wise.
For a moon of a moon to be stable, the main moon must be far away enough from its planet so the moonlet can be comfortably in the Hill sphere of the main moon, but not close enough to the planet for perturbations to be strong. And likewise the planet itself has to be far enough away from the star.
This brown dwarf system would easily meet those conditions.

When we bought the house, there was a half-finished room over the garage, with a slanted roof. At one end is a door from the master bedroom closet, and at the other end is a window. There are knee walls along the sides where the roof gets to about 4 feet. The old owners ran electricity and HVAC, but no insulation, etc. We used it for storage for years, but lately we've been wanted another bedroom.
I wanted to turn the knee walls into built-in bookshelves, with one panel that rolls or swings out, like a secret door, so we can still access the parts over the eaves for storage. So I put in insulation, but then I got stuck. We wanted tongue-and-groove, but nothing was square. The peak has 2x4s going across to make a flat roof. Some are 22.5" long, some 20". So I didn't know how to deal with that. Especially running t&g, I was afraid it would look bad. Probably add shims to lower the narrow parts, so they are all equal?

One of the other characters was most likely an ex girlfriend of mine. Yeah I'm not touching that one.

The Kremlin is especially alarmed at the German government's intent to gain access to nuclear weapons, based on new defense agreements with France and its 'nuclear umbrella'. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz unveiled late last week: "Alongside this work on a shared doctrine, German conventional forces will this year take part in a nuclear exercise of the French military."

You'd need some Jupiter-sized negative mass-energy as well as positive. That's been proven generally. Any superluminal warp bubble needs exotic matter.
Interestingly, somebody found a "subluminal" type of warp bubble solution that could be done with just regular matter. It was a numerical solution, I think.
Still way beyond anything we could imagine doing. This is Type II civilization level stuff, able to control power levels equal to the output of a star in a small space without blowing your self up.

It was lowered to the legal limit and even though it's all wheel drive can't really function on anything but flat pavement. Slight bumps ground it. It also used oil from new.
So the same EPA many Subaru drivers cheer for (see NPR), was forcing Subaru to make less reliable cars.

You could do some pretty cool stuff with one of those subluminal warp bubbles. Incredible acceleration without feeling one ounce of force. And you can adjust proper time flow inside the bubble as well. (As you can with the superluminal ones).
You just create a little patch of spacetime inside the bubble that gets dragged along. Those inside are in free fall always, just floating, no matter what the bubble itself does.

It seems so. These were big houses, and the original owners no doubt had money and no doubt the funds to have a private booze collection during those times. We did a few jobs in that area. I'll never forget asking a somewhat new owner of this one house who was there about 1 1/2 years how many bathrooms the place had. He thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, you know, I don't even know.

There are dry villages in Northwest Territories, too. A tacit admission by the Indians that Indians cannot hold their liquor. Still, this is a very petty prosecution by the State. A six pack of Budweiser wouldn't get a baby drunk. Pilot was not smuggling, nor aiding and abetting smuggling. It was goods for personal consumption by the passenger. Full stop. If it had been ten cases of 24, different story; pilot would have certainly known.

Yes. They used to think Jupiter was a big net plus, shielding the inner solar system. But then computing power got to be great enough and cheap enough to allows complicated numerical simulations to run and it's a mixed picture.
Jupiter is a net shield for Oort cloud, long period stuff getting thrown in. However, it perturbs the short period stuff inside its orbit too, and it's probably a negative negative there.

Plenty of songs that mention the Pleiades, though! I had no idea until I looked up just now, Jimmy Buffett alone has at least three. Trivia: in Western mythology (and this song) they're also called the Seven Sisters, but Subaru's logo only has six stars, with one explanation being that's how many are readily visible to the naked eye.

Add 2 oz (60ml) of pineapple juice and 1 oz (30ml) of orange juice.

She has been reading her signed The Deplorable Cookbook. She has a
large number of other cookbooks, but the humor and passion in that one
amuses her greatly.
I went over to her place using the FIFA final as an excuse to chat, and she made me dinner. She cooked bluebell's chicken recipe. This is in return for me cooking her my recipe from the book, red beans and rice with Andouille sausage, last week.
She has superior man-management skills, after three husbands. We have

Quick Hits
Supercut of Democrats claiming there is "no evidence" of illegal aliens voting.
Hillary Clinton: I can't believe Trump is still complaining that he really won the 2020 election/and also the 2016 election was stolen from me. And Jake Tapper never -- never -- asks her about these contradictory claims. Nor should he -- he's guilty of the same hypocrisy.
Interesting...
Paul SperryKaren with a septum ring finds a new problematic group: lifeguards. Because "the little teenage lifeguards they have on the beach" are "cops in training." Abby Philips: No illegal aliens are voting and the illegal aliens who are voting are just "confused" over whether they're allowed to vote. Jim Acosta doesn't want you to call him a "hero," even though his life has been "in danger" plenty of times, like when Trump crowds would chant "CNN sucks" or call him a "traitor."

BREAKING: DHS confirms that the suspect charged with sexually assaulting and murdering a 2-year-old girl in Louisa County, VA earlier this month is an illegal alien from Mexico. ICE filed a detainer on Raul Genesis Ortiz Moran with local law enforcement & they honored the detainer and handed him over to ICE.
Moran is now charged with second degree murder and aggravated sexual assault.
He entered the U.S. illegally as a gotaway at an unknown time & location.

He's not aging well as his jowls jangle like a bloodhounds. Needs to learn to take selfies looking up.
Granted I can't take a selfie to save my life. We've, in fact, nearly lost ours at times as we stink at this so badly (falling from 6th floor balcony in Vienna, trying to get St. Stephen's in the background with us looking like a happy couple). The photos, bless our hearts, are pitiful. Parts of laughing faces, etc. I think there might be one somewhere stored that is ok.
Which reminds me how I am decades behind in printing photos to add to the zillion things I am behind in.

Her qualifications to run for office were what, exactly? It was the fact she was married to a President. That’s it. She’s a caroetbagger, snaking up Jacob Javits seat in the Senate. What groundbreaking legislation did she sponsor?

That’s a job title, not necessarily an accomplishment. What did she do? What made her so so very qualified, other than being a leftist vagina-American?

In the attorney general’s original description, Prop 39 is a measure that “establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.”
However, the description revealed Tuesday in the voter information guide is vastly different. Bonta now describes Prop 39 as a measure that “prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.”
Supporters of the voter ID ballot measure were furious after they spotted the changes in the description of their proposal in the newly released voter information guide for the November election that will be mailed to all voters.
The new summary of the voter ID proposal is also different and framed more negatively. It states the measure can “prohibit” voting and “invalidate” mail ballots without proper identification, whereas the original summary simply listed IDs as requirements.

I listen, consider, feel I have read this, debate in my mind, then go on to live another day not getting anything done. I got something done yesterday and am exhausted.
It is all mild stuff, we are not living in hoarder land with piles of newspapers. I just need to organize a few things and nope!

If it is your everything machine, get a std. linux distro (debian/ubuntu/mint, a or red hat variant, etc.) as they usually will work with existing peripherals, etc.
And that is still one of the bigger problems with Linux--hardware drivers including graphics cards--AMD and Intel have decent drivers, Nvidia hit or miss.
You can run Steam from Linux easily.
If you only plan on gaming with the computer, then Steam OS will be fine but still recommend AMD graphics in that case.

I'm in Iowa, and I'm also worried about Sands. He's working hard at pretending to be normal, and not a crazy lib. I don't know if he will be able to convince voters. I saw an ad from his Republican opponent the other day which basically said that. It seemed like a pretty good ad, I don't know if it will work.
I think Repubs everywhere should be running ads tying Dems who try to portray themselves as not crazy to the crazy wing of the Dem party.
I wish I could tell you (and myself) not to worry about Sands, but in all honesty, I can't. The saving grace is that Repubs have overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the state legislature, so that should limit to some degree the damage that Sands can do.

Pretty much if you can afford the RAM and fast enough CPU to do it.
Older Windows programs, a lot of them work with WINE or its paid version, Crossover. But expect some oddities at times--WINE actually rates specific programs into Gold, Silver, and Bronze--Gold is pretty much go to go, Silver, expect some hiccups, Bronze, not worth the time really.

So, you can work with the rogue IC to cripple a presidency by spreading lies and innuendo, but you have to concede first. You can still go on a talk show tour and claim you were never really beaten despite your concession.
But you CONCEDED!! You get conceding points.

Big corps are run by people that I assume get personal hourly bjs by MS marketing because that's all anyone buys. And they slurp up all of it. They force every single horrid MS system on us. From teams to office to project to outlook to onedrive to sharepoint to powerbi to the whole enshitified microsoft universe.
And no IT will ever take the time to fix any of the broken crap they deploy. So the poor users just get more and more daily morass.

I forgot what it was called. It's not WINe.
If you're talking about WinApps or Winboat, they don't actually run Windows programs natively. They run a lightweight version of windows in docker and then rdp to it to display the app as if it's running in Linux.

Intel invested a lot into Linux and when it hit a low point, it started shutting down a lot of linux projects and laying off or recalling employees engaged in linux distros for Intel. Graphics drivers though don't appear to be one of those areas. But Clear, which was Intel's pet Linux OS is dead at least for now as of about one year ago.

Reports of a Republican Midterm Loss Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Rick Moran on the Republican fundraising advantage:
I did a double take when I saw the fundraising totals for the midterm elections in Politico. Republican party committees and super PACs have raised $657 million for the midterms, now just four and a half months away. That's nearly double the $337 million the Democrats have raised. And it gets worse for the Democrats. The largest single financial entity raising money for the midterms, MAGA, Inc., reports $400 million in cash as of June 30. That billion-dollar-plus war chest is three times as much as the Democrats' cash entering the final months of the campaign.
... And it has the potential to cost them if Republicans are smart about where they put all that cash. Politico:
"What is putting the House majority and the Senate majority, nationally, in danger is the Republicans' massive stockpile of resources that they're putting together to push back," said Morgan Jackson, a longtime North Carolina Democratic strategist and an adviser to former Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running for Senate. "If you get outspent five to six to eight to one, that can alleviate the environmental advantage that Democrats have this cycle of poor leadership from the White House, a dysfunctional Congress, a bad economy that they own," he added. "There's a lot of concern to that."
... The Republican National Committee has $129 million in cash on hand. The Democrats are still $2 million in debt. That bespeaks an organization that's floundering, unable to raise money to pay what it owes.
The House race is now basically a toss-up: Per Fox's count -- and remember, Fox's polling operation is super-liberal and run by a Hillary Clinton supporter -- Republicans have 208 seats in the bag, Democrats have 211, and there are 16 toss-ups. Republicans would only have to grab ten of those 16 toss-ups to win a (super-thin) majority of 218. (But it would be a more solid majority than one depending on Majorie Trailer-Queen and Thomas Massie.)

Second Thing ... The GOP is not the Party of Trump. And the GOP will still wreck this shit before they lose this shit. They did it after the Tea Party Wave. They did it by 50 something House GOP members retiring in 2018. They do it all the time.
This new Democrat Socialist thing ? They've inching toward Nationalist Populist from the other end. Peron or Castro instead of Pinochet or Franco.

I wasn't worried about the 2024 election for a second, and I've said for quite a while that I'm even less worried about the 2026 midterms. Trump is managing the war and the markets very well. As long as oil stays elevated but not too spiky (worst-case), people will get used to the economy - especially because once this ends, the good times will roll even better than before. Our GDP would be at least 1.5% higher without the war anchor.
That said, there is only one thing that will risk Congress at this point. That is the GOPe. Thune doesn't want to pass SAVE, and you know that it's his job to take the slings and arrows for at least 10 other senators that feel the same way but need to keep quiet - Thune's seat is quite safe. If he and the GOPe are successful, however, that could depress turnout on our side. As I see it, that's the black swan that can hurt us. Graham hurt us during the last midterm. Someone else will step up to try and do it this time.

Rising: Dems flailing in midterm polls; socialists to blame? TL;DR: Despite Trump’s unpopularity, Democrats aren’t exactly dominating midterm election polling. The DSA is likely turning away moderate and swing voters.
When you have Van Jones crashing out on CNN about the state of the Democratic party with the DSA, you know there's a problem.
The DSA said we needed an outsider, gave us one, and gave Susan Collins another term. The far left of the party needs to realize if they want the cooperation of the party they can start by not making such idiotic choices.
Had DSA tell me the reason Harris lost is because she wasn’t far enough left to get them to the polls. They want even more extremes
Saw a sobering poll. In 2018 Dems won 90% of those voters who were negative on Trump. Today it’s fallen to 69%. That means roughly 21% of the voters have decided that yes Trump sucks but there’s no way in hell I’m voting for the democrats. I think what happened in 2020, some parts of the Biden administration, and the DSA are all to blame for this brand collapse.

"Swing State in Peril for(sic) after Election Denier Romps to Victory."
Much made about Andy Biggs being endorsed by Trump, how the other guy said the party needed to appeal more to centrists and moderates, and how Bigg is an evil election denier.
Then, the very last paragraph almost a "oh by the way, Hobbs is stuck in the mid 40s."
That's dead man walking territory for an incumbent.
We just need Gallego to hold on until January, then force him out and Biggs can name his replacement.

Thune and the GOPe don't want a yuge GOP majority in the Senate and House. If that were to happen, they'd have to be accountable and deliver for the base. After Mitch et al we're now too wise to let them snooker us again, so they need to keep it thisclose so that a handful of 'moderates' can gum up the works with plausible deniability from leadership.

And yet these plls reveal that, somehow, the "Democratic Party" is still essentially in a 50-50 tie with Trump and his coattails.
Where are these extra Demodrat votes coming from? Even living in Blue State Hell,, I can't see any "moderate" r "middle of the road" voters supporting any Democrat. To do so is to automatic hand power to the blue-hair nose-ring transgender socialist Hamas supporters.
There is no middle ground. You are either a rootin'-tootin' MAGA-all-the-way Trumpista, or you are a blue-hair nose-ring transgender socialist Hamas supporter. The space between these two camps is a bard-wire strewn no-man;'s land littered with dead bodies.

He had approval of 37 and the Dems were +8 to 10.*
Obama lost 13 his second term; 42 approval and R was +4 to 6
Trump is at 39 and the Dems are at +3--and falling.
If Trump improves to 42, it's pretty much over for the Dems; Rs hold the House.

From what I understand, with most of the money in Super PACs, there's a solid chance it gets spent more effectively than if it were in the hands of the RSCC, RCCC, RNC, or directly by campaigns.
GOP Super PACs have a lower tendency of wasting as much money on TV ads and more on actual GOTV efforts.

Redistricting is big, but there are other factors in play. The biggest is the cheat is being watched for. The Post Office tracking ballots terrifies the Dems for good reason. Their entire game in multiple states collapses without it.
There's also the candidate issue: absolute nut jobs are winning the nomination. All the modeling in the world can't help you when you have Mohammed Death To America Jihadi trying to flip a swing seat.
So the Dems have less money, terrible talent, an uphill map and less opportunity to cheat.
Finally: Trump will be dropping indictments, because that taboo is broken. Welcome to the new rules.

talarico has zero chance of winning in Texas. He is a dumpster fire of negatives: a vegan campaign, he jumped on the trans train early and hard, he has insulted Christians with his bull$hit about God being gender fluid and he is 100% open borders which goes over in Texas like a fart in Church and finally crazy crockett has told black voters to not show up and vote for the racist democrat party pick.
They are shoving tons of money into a losing candidate because democrats across the country are convinced that this time Texas is finally going to turn purple.

I believe he's led one general election poll. By a single point.
Polls are everything. Polls are bullshit. Polls are for strippers.
But when a Democrat can't show leads outside the margin for error and even regularly loses in polling in a swing state? He's probably headed for a loss.

When I want to peak over to the lib bubble, I can get too slanted a view by whatever the press allows the impression of.
For example, if you listened to the Piss Stream Media, you'd think a majority of black Americans are going around saying ID is Jim Crow.
But you'd be oriented the wrong way. Black Americans just as much want the SAVE act--or at least some control over who votes. They don't seem to be listening to the "ID is Racist!" crowd.
Black Americans seem to be growing an immunity to whatever Dems say. However, it's still the case that Democratic media will only let you know what helps Democrats, and lie if it's not so great.

ICE arrests are just a small fraction of overall arrests.
Most actually happen by local cops under 287g agreements with DHS.
They pick up an illegal for speeding, check his lawful status, arrest him, call ICE, and ICE shows up and picks him up, quickly getting him to the 5th Circuit if outside of it, and then deported in less than 30 days.
We're going to do a lot more than 2 million forced deportations by the time JD Vance is inaugurated president. It'll be at least 5 million.
Plus the 3-5x ratio of self-deports to forced deports.

Before the rule about reporting before poll closure, Wayne County would pour out the vote totals all day. Wayne County was always the first to finish their count and it made it look like a ("blue") landslide.
When it counted, and the Dems felt like they could demoralize the rest of the state, they reported early. When I was a young kid, my mom told me "Don't worry that's mainly Detroit. We always catch up."
Now that Wayne County can't demoralize conservative voters, they are the last to finish their count (and I always say because they need to know the number of votes to manufacture).
The Demedia is like that, however, sometime, they want you overconfident, to then suddenly give you the feeling that conservatism nose-dived when they really start trying to demoralize conservative voters.

Trey Gowdy and Paul Ryan both knew there were hours of sworn testimony that no one had any proof that Trump had anything to do with Russia.
But both of them--especially Gowdy--went out on the news shows and regularly played the coy lie of "well I personally don't think there was collusion but we must let the investigation play out because the charges are so serious."
Because they knew how damages letting Trump twist in the wind was even if the charges were fake as shit.
Compare, if it was a D prez, one and all Dem would have fought for floor time to reveal the full details of the secret, sworn testimony.

Most actually happen by local cops under 287g agreements with DHS.
They pick up an illegal for speeding, check his lawful status, arrest him, call ICE, and ICE shows up and picks him up, quickly getting him to the 5th Circuit if outside of it, and then deported in less than 30 days.
We're going to do a lot more than 2 million forced deportations by the time JD Vance is inaugurated president. It'll be at least 5 million.
Plus the 3-5x ratio of self-deports to forced deports.

That's the fun part. ICE can work smoothly in Red States and non sanctuary moderate states. The firebombing crowd are all burning blue cities, and illegals will move to those same areas, burdening them even more. With time they will all be in Mandami led NYC and similar places.

If the state won't, the national party should do it. Worst case is it gives some young up and comers experience and it costs about nothing if you do it right. Do it like Pressler and have people go sweep up trash that the city won't do, and have a party afterwards and listen to what they say, have a beer.

In the victory operation I worked, there were nationals with the GOTV effort, along with the poll watcher effort (which I coordinated), and the attorney effort (for on the spot challenges and shenanigan calls).
Except for local phone-calling, actual poll watching, and door knocking, most of us were from out of state, funded (room and stipend) by RNCC.

Trump: Every Time Iran Fires on a Ship, We Will Destroy One Bridge or Power Plant
>Eric DaughertyHowever, he's also saying that "next week" he will hit all of their bridges and power plants, unless -- sigh -- they agree to negotiate.
@EricLDaugh
🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just announced the US military will destroy "ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT" -- including in Tehran -- for each time Iran attacks a ship in the Strait of Hormuz 47 is DONE with the BS. "From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Iran responded with its own threat: if you hit our power plants, we'll attack the energy infrastructure in Gulf states. But they've already been doing that. Per Tousi TV, there were a lot of attacks throughout Iran last night, including multiple strikes on Tehran itself. Russia may be providing targeting information to Iran, allowing them to strike targets they otherwise couldn't. So Russia might be responsible for the deaths of servicemen and CIA officers.
Iranian drone attacks on CIA facilities in the Gulf have prompted US intelligence analysts to investigate whether Russia assisted by providing targeting information or advanced drone technology, say four people familiar with US intelligence. These people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters, say US intelligence officials have not yet reached firm conclusions about the possible Russian involvement in the attacks on CIA facilities. But they cite the strikes' effectiveness and apparent precision, as well as Russia's broader technical support for Iran, as possible evidence. Reuters and other media have reported -- and US officials have acknowledged -- that Russia has provided targeting and other support for Iran in its strikes on US targets in the Gulf region generally, but the intelligence community's investigation of possible Russian involvement in supporting the CIA facility attacks has not been previously disclosed. At least two CIA sites were struck in March, Reuters and other outlets have reported. One of the facilities was the CIA station in Saudi Arabia, which is located in the US embassy in Riyadh, and a separate site was located in eastern Iraq. Some of the sources said additional CIA sites had been hit, but they did not disclose details.

I just wished these spineless republicans grew an ounce of balls that Sen Ossof and Sen Peters had in calling out hegseth. hegseth was playing the cameras like he did on fox.
What a sham. Go back to fox.
everyone knew Iran has tons of missiles and drones. He even purged officers that likely warned and wanted to protect their men. So he could attack Iran without ensuring proper air defence in an act of utter incompetence and disregard for the life of servicemen.

it could be something else. Hopefully, not.
Biden and the Democrats totally opened the borders to whoever could walk thru. If that didn't include some terror squads from Iran, I'll be very very surprised.
I wonder if they're holding on until their terror squads can make a big hit here on American soil, ie. cause real death and damage, to get us to concede to a truce. Maybe that's why there's so much activity around Brokeback Mountain or whatever it's called.
I hope that our security forces are really looking for a possible end around, because this would make sense of the Iranians holding on so long and apparently futilely.
This may be what the southern energy talk is all about.

At this point, I'm a bit skeptical that Iran has legions of sleeper cells just waiting for the signal to be activated. I think we'd have had a spree of Islamic terrorist attacks across the nation right now.

Unlike some people, though, I'm not going to pretend I know whether or not Iran was close to a nuke or how close they were to using it.
I also don't like that the War Powers Act deadline is far in the past, but I thing the remedy is Congress gets off its ass and declares war or orders troops home.
Congress doesn't get power it does not deign to use. "Checks and Balances" is supposed to be a fight among branches. Not a room monitor type of thing.

1. Granted, this argument has not been made as clear, especially because the media want Trump to lose, even if it means nuking the West.

Trump is President. Commander and Chief of the American military. So for a military engagement, he knows more about what is going on.
Thus it makes money laundering by sending billions upon billions to Ukraine a bit harder.
This is why we're no longer shoveling billions at Zelenskyy.
If Europe falls because a non-member nation falls, that kind of defeats the argument for NATO itself and the occasional tip the Euros were throwing into the pot.

The War Powers deadline didn't matter because Trump had declared the first ceasefire when it came and he declared an end to hostilities while the negotiations were ongoing.
Iran eventually attacked again so it became a defensive act by Trump returning fire which isn't covered under War Powers any longer.
That's my understanding of that situation.

I know that's the argument. But Trump said it would be over in a couple of weeks, so that would have satisfied both conditions.
You can't say that wouldn't have been a better outcome, right?
---
Iran eventually attacked again so it became a defensive act by Trump returning fire which isn't covered under War Powers any longer.
---
Again, that's the rationale we're kind of backed into using.
But I knew from the start the Republican Congress was going to leave Trump hanging. (And I don't like saying "know" when I'm just trying to predict something, but when I just can't get over a suspicion, it's close enough that I can use "know".)
If this blows everything up, it's not going to matter, even if Trump likely saved the world from a terrorist nuclear attack.

The longer it goes on, the lower the value of their one weapon - the strait and energy. Pipes are being built, supply lines are being adjusted.
The only other weapon they have would be a nuke. They know this and this is why they are building one. IF Trump prevents them building a nuke, we win.
All the other stuff is secondary or short term. (The Straight, funding proxies, missiles, ...) mostly to appease the other gulf states.

What they'll probably say is the only reason Ukraine is still in it is because they are being treated as NATO-lite.
Posted by: Leupold
They're worried because they've had to dump billions in money and equipment into Ukraine to stall Russia, including lots of US support. If the US never got involved, and some countries in the region cooperated with Russia, Europe would have a hard time (economically, militarily and politically) stopping them.
Plus, NATO is a major advantage to Europe. It allows them to assign national defense to the US for a fraction of the cost. They're desperate to keep the organization alive by finding new missions and roles. The 2022 Strategic Concept reaffirms that the key purpose (of NATO) remains collective defense, but this is now supported by two additional core tasks: crisis prevention and management and cooperative security.
On NATO' website, their purpose includes: Essentially, NATO not only helps to defend the territory of its members, but also engages – where possible and when necessary – to project its values further afield, prevent and manage crises, stabilise post-conflict situations, and support reconstruction.

It may also eventually be necessary to take over Kharg Island with troops and the Strait coastline in certain areas to take control there.
No need to invade Tehran or anywhere else if we take away their leverage.

Seriously, do you understand logistical constraints? Given the forces we were willing to commit, there was a limit to what could be run at a high operational tempo. Exceed that envelope and you lose capability and aircraft start to break.
If we are in a total war, things are very different. Trump did not want a general mobilization, which would happen against China. He wanted to maintain reserve forces.
So in addition to diplomatic and political advantages, he rested the force.

The on/off operational tempo is great for us and terrible for Iran. Our troops get to rest, cycle units in and out and Iran just sits there worrying that will will do something.
They also probably have minimal command and control, so some nut job will always fire a rocket even if the leadership (or what's left of it) wants things to stop.
Oh, and did anyone notice the Saudis have invoked their treaty with Pakistan? If Iran hits them again, Pakistan has to get involved. That's why Kuwait is getting hit.

About the best, most reliable aircraft we have have only a 75% availability rate. Heavies are around 50 or less. The super-techy stuff even left.

because after 80 years of communism, the vast majority of the public, and all the leaders feel they are right, their ideology is more moral, the West is evil, etc. They are all brainwashed.
Same in Iran although maybe not true for certain isolated subcultures (if there are any).

Strategic defense alliances require an enemy to be defending against. If you admit Russia into NATO, you have no one to use as a boogeyman to justify spending trillions of dollars of military spending against.

There’s plenty of blame to go around. The West screwed the pooch on this.
Russia was never going to be our best buddy, but insofar as mutual concerns were in alignment they could have been a very useful ally. Particularly against China and others.
Now you know why all the usual suspects torpedoed any chance of this. A strategic blunder, on purpose.

The fact he is doing this differently than any other war or police action is a positive, along with taking out their nuclear program, destroying their military capabilities and a bunch of mad mullahs at the same time is icing on the cake.

I'm thinkin' it was under Biden that we really pushed Ukraine into the possible NATO position, knowing full well it would incite Putin to a military response. And eye patch and others thought "Great, we get to fund Ukraine to destroy Russia". (not to mention all the grifters in the US lined up at the trough).

But I also see Putin and his government ratcheting up Soviet-style internal repression gradually too over the last few years. Old instincts, I suspect, that keep them from changing tracks even when what they're doing is blatantly self-destructive.

The problem with Russia is that half the West liked the way things were because they profited from it (NATO, the Defense ind. complex, UN, EU,...) so they wanted to keep the old rivalry going.
What we needed to do was crush them. Humble them. Make them understand that they lost. Take their nukes, expose their crimes against their public, and humiliate them. OR, not do that and keep the cold war going, just with a weakened and still isolated Russia.
I think that was the post cold war battle. We took a wobbly wet approach of half appeasing, half enabling their KGB and oligarchs to regroup, and half taking some gains where our oligarchs felt they could profit. It was corrupt and dirty and resulted in this.

The United States government decided against calling for an uprising of the Iranian people or any other action that could overthrow the Islamic Republic, instead preferring a strategy of negotiations over regime change. Whether this will remain the strategy, in light of its manifest failure, is the question.

WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham: Keep Men Out of Girls Sports
Sophie Cunningham is a teammate of Caitlin Clark on whatever team they play for, which I assume is the Iowa Cornholers. That's probably not right but no one's going to contradict me because no one wants to admit they know the teams of the WNBA.
She became a meme when she pointed out the thug who'd committed a flagrant foul on her teammate. Like Caitlin Clark, she is hated and gets hard-fouled a lot because she's white, straight, and pretty in a league dominated by black lesbians. This isn't going to endear her any further to the Rainbow Racists of the league: She says that girls sports should be reserved for -- this is going to sound a little convoluted but stick with me -- girls. She says she has nothing against trannies and isn't even political. But, she says, along with showing love, she must also tell the truth.The ongoing debate over trans athletes' participation in the sports category of their chosen gender has once again reached the WNBA, as Iowa Cornholers guard Sophie Cunningham has joined one side of the hot-button issue.Oh, so it was the Iowa Cornholers.
In a wide-ranging profile from ESPN's Hallie Grossman, Cunningham, one of the league's most polarizing and recognized players, spoke on her perceived political beliefs because of "what she looks like and where she's from." Cunningham seemed to deny she is affiliated with the "MAGA" movement after her "MAGA Barbie" nickname went viral. She recently downplayed the White House specifically using her viral pointing meme in a social media post. However, this latest controversy stems from Cunningham sharing her support in the ESPN profile for the idea that athletes should participate in the gendered sport of their birth, not the one they choose post-transition. "She'll weigh in on how to 'protect women's sports,"' she says, because she's in that world and feels qualified to speak to that world," Grossman wrote in her profile. Cunningham added in the profile, "I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,' ... I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men. "I'm very much in the middle [politically]. I agree with things on both sides, disagree with things on both sides. And that's all I've ever said about my political beliefs. But people love to assume."
Sophie Cunningham: "I want to protect young girls in a locker room and young girls who shouldn't have to go against biological men"

They taped maps in our hallways telling girls where else to go. We were expected to perform humiliation rituals so the adults wouldn’t have to make a decision. Then they hired lawyers to make our case disappear.

Or, the WNBA knows it will never actually be self-sufficient, never more than a welfare case suckling off the more successful NBA, and those in charge are simply interested in protecting their fiefdom than expanding the brand because expanding the brand can never go far enough because the appetite for professional female sports will never be more than a curio in need of subsidy.

The problem is the WNBA isn't a sports league as that term is usually understood. It's not a bunch of teams hungry to win because that brings pride and money. There's very little incentive to win or even improve the experience for fans.
The entire WNBA is a big LARPing circle-jerk that doesn't even rise to the level of "competition" in professional wrestling. It's a giant parasitic mass of sloppy gay goop that's sole purpose is to give ugly, undesirable, barely-skilled, angry black lesbians a platform to hate MAGA and white people and eat each other's twats.

Not really ( it would be hard to do) . One that was getting higher attendance is the 3 on 3 league. Very popular. I think they offered Clark a million dollar a year contract.

Dana White talked about it...apparently it was kind of an impromptu thing. She said it would be fun to do, and he said let's do it now.
Like Caitlin Clark, she is hated and gets hard-fouled a lot because she's white, straight, and pretty in a league dominated by black lesbians.
ANGRY black lesbians. Sophie and Caitlin are always smiling, happy, and not just when being praised or hurting their enemies (unlike the Left). I guess enjoying life is also white/pretty privilege (although Clark is no beauty).

There are other white hetero players that aren't getting the Clark treatment. Why?
Because they're not the best player the league has ever seen and isn't getting all the national attention and pub.
They hate Clark first and foremost because she's a corn fed white girl from middle America who likes men and brought world attention to the league.
They WANTED Angel Reese to be the next one.
But, she sucks in a BIG WAY at basketball.
Clark owes the league a hasty departure to another league, be that Ice Cube's 3 on 3 league or a Euro league team.
She should moon them on the way out the door.

I remain unsure why, because I played HS basketball but did not have to contend with trannies. I did, however, have to deal with girls who played hard to win and were elbowing my eyeballs and stuff like that.
To my coach's irritation I would let the bigger girl have the ball if it was a tie ball. Another shiner was not worth it (I had two), nor was a jammed knuckle (I don't know how many of those I had).
I played because he made me, our coach. Because I was on the taller side of 5'8" with a great vertical jump.
I did not want to play. I did not want to dribble into crowds of girls to the goal, so I had an outside shot vs all the drama. I shot free throws fine.
I also did not wear my glasses anywhere but in class to see the backboard, so my shots were an accomplishment and nothing but net and two points. Then I warmed the bench as I did not want to mess up my hair.
These girls must really, really want to play and rough it up. I did not and often prayed to stay on the bench.
I had odd injuries in practice and a concussion running the lines. I did not have fun.

My understanding is that in women's college basketball the men they scrimmage against are not allowed to block the lady's shots.
If the men try on defense they would be lucky to score 20 or maybe even 10.

In high school, our girls varsity team was on its way to the playoffs. They needed a tougher practice than against themselves, so they ran drills against my JV squad.
We never scrimmaged nor did we ever run the full floor. It was always 1/2 court and they ran their offense from a dead ball start.

I once was a small investor in a local MMA league. I was at a match at St Paul at the Hall with a date. She looked at the ring card girls and said "that would be fun, I'd like to do that." I joked and said "well, I am part owner."
She got up right then and there, walked over to the ring card girls, and the next thing I know, she's in the ring with the card announcing the round.

You get your ass up, run full speed, and spear that cunt when her back is turned if you can't whip her face to face. But Clark doesn't have that in her. Because she's got that weird ass "ball-player" mentality that my brother-in-law has. Where things are "different" in the structure of "the game".

There probably aren't that many guys throwing 90+ at the small college level. But they definitely have the reaction time to hit. I'm guessing they have even less in women's fast pitch with the mound being closer.

Stop letting them force you Left.
You say "I don't want Title IX budget outlays at my school. We prefer actual sports here."
They say " But you're going to have them. Also, a man with a lady dick will teabag your daughter in a locker room, while she pretends to be a baseball pitcher instead of starting a family with an actual baseball pitcher," and you acquiesce as long as they cancel the teabagging part.

My father would come to games and knew I did not care one bit. Once the coach yelled at me that I had a "jug butt" because I was not running fast enough and Daddy loved it vs getting offended for my self-esteem. I ignored the coach, if it was meant to fire me up. I endured HS because it led to my goal of college and freedom.
We had uniforms passed down from whoever had them years before us at our country school. We did not have our names on them nor pick the number but what fit us. Not fancy: dark blue with gold trim. Gym shorts were, well, short.

I wanted to like it. I really did. But it went off the rails and stayed there, and they would go multiple episodes with no significant movement in the plot. It turned into a chore to watch, much like TWD. And while I dig naked tavern wenches as much as the next guy, the sex scenes became boring filler material and just weak writing rather than plot points or even competent titillation after awhile.

Lots of Old Ball Players. Teaching the game as they understood it. Man to man (chic to chic). Set plays. Teams were kind of set ... the long time coached picked all the girls they wanted.
I taught a behind the line 2-3 zone on defense. Flat screens on offense to let a girl get ahead of the defender, and cuts to give her another girl to pass to. And floor balance ... make sure somebody can play free-safety on a turnover.
Kids won the league. Lots of drama. Fuck the lay-up lines. We did loose ball drills to warm up. And how to post up. And how to really screen. Lots of coaches and involved Dads bitching I "didn't coach the right way". And a few folks saying "well, Hell, that's completely different and makes sense". Including a couple local coaches.
Pissed the daughter off the next year. Didn't coach.

You are total BS! "Whatever team they (Sophie Cunningham) they play for, "Is an unequivocable line of BS!" Sophie is a true Patriot that represents our government as established in 1776.
Just what does Iowa Cornholers have to do with Sophie Cunningham, a Hoosier Fever WNBA player?
You are pig dung!
