Wednesday Morning Non-Rant
Some are alienated. Some are poor. Some are disabled. Some are depressed. Some are in pain. All of these and more are real, and can feel as if they define us. Stepping back, taking a breath, and counting blessings is important. While many things may be bad, not all things are bad, and Thanksgiving helps us to acknowledge that which is good.
So long as one is able to acknowledge and experience gratitude, Thanksgiving is all things to all men. It is serious and joyful. It is a solemn reflection as well as a lighthearted celebration. It is religious if you want it to be, or secular if that is your preference. Gratitude as such is worth celebrating, and Thanksgiving helps us recognize and celebrate it. Family, faith and the fact of life itself are all worthy of gratitude! Whatever your situation this Thanksgiving, I fervently hope that you have the opportunity to consider that for which you are thankful, and that your have a joyous and hopeful holiday!Comments

On the one hand we have Trump, head of the Republican party settle 8 conflicts around the world, cut inflation from 9% to 2.6% while real wages are rising, deep state being cut down to size (a bit), chucks out 2MM illegals thus far, cuts taxes for workin' folk.
And the Pedocrats are 5% ahead for the midterms. All while the Pedos have done nothing but run a color revolution and release their military auxiliaries.

0ne of the most powerful hymns the church has for Thanksgiving is "Now thank we all our God" by Martin Rinkhart. He was a Lutheran pastor in a walled city during the Thirty Years War . ( 1600s) He wrote it to encourage his children to thank God even in difficult times.

Arguably there's been no better time or place (America in general) to have been alive.
Of course, I couldn't say that between one and four years ago ... we're definitely approaching more short-term inflection points (following the Novembers of 2016 and 2024).

Yup. People consciously don't trust the media. Trust in the media is at a historic low.
But that doesn't mean that the other side gets filled in just because when asked on a poll and you think of it you say you don't trust the media. The ubiquity of the legacy media plays a role, in generally getting people to believe something.
After all, the more you hear a statement the closer your brain comes to perceiving it as true. The brain is even more an organ of recognition than rigor.

On the rare occasion I see/hear some MSM in TV it is like a window to another universe. Through The Looking Glass.
Oddly, while driving yesterday I caught an NPR piece on Obamacare and the massive rate increases coming. It went through all the reasons for them and to my surprise it was mostly fair and accurate. It almost caused me to crash I was stunned. Mysterious. Are Dems getting ready to throw it under the bus?

Smart enough. The news is always centered around conflict and bad things while the good news is often not covered or covered very incompletely. The media in general is the devil's plaything and it is no surprise that those in media demonstrate high levels of narcissism and sociopathy. As a profession, they rank right up with politicians for those personality types.

Finally! It should have been dropped when Fani Willis was disqualified, but the Georgia Supreme Court was too timid to go that far, instead asking that some other Prosecutor take it over. Everyone in Fani's office was barred from taking it, so they had to look to some other prosecutor's office in Georgia. EVERY Prosecutor in Georgia turned it down and refused to touch it, it was sucn an obvious stinkbomb. So the guy in charge of getting another Prosecutor to take that case said "ok I'll do it myself."
Which was ridiculous, he never had the resources or staff to even touch something like this.
So he finally wised up and bailed. And it's over.

I like how many of our "Thankfuls" are just shitting on the traitors formerly within our ranks. I'm thankful for McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan and others for failing so hard they gave us Trump, who thankfully got Drudge, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the rest of GOPe Inc to expose and destroy themselves lol.
Aside from personal family things, I am pretty Thankful Trump 2.0 seems to have learned a lot from his first term, and is taking immigration VERY seriously, despite the non-stop resistance. I'm also thankful SCOTUS has been much more willing to step in, shut down lower court overreach nonsense, and overturn bad legal precedents despite decades of prior allowance. May it continue into next term!

Georgia law when a prosecutor is removed from a case. Skadalakis had to take the case over in order to kill it as he could find no other GA prosecutor willing to take the case in order to dismiss it. As Skandalakis was executive director of the Prosecutorial Council, he was not at risk from leftist idiots in the population wanting vengeance for Trump winning in 2020 and 2024.

If sloppily written can be mistaken for the number 2.
I put a slash through my 7's and Z's (also possibly mistaken for 2"s), and a diagonal slash through my Zeros so they're not mistaken for the letter O.

One time a crew of folks asked him about the best way of setting up a bank of computers to crunch a bunch of numbers for some wacked out theory of determining the properties of non-linear Hilbert space (I’m just making that up, you get the idea) and he asked what the problem was. They told him, and he went into his far off look, mumbling to himself. A few seconds later “That won’t work. Here’s the answer”. He did the calculations in his head.

I've done both a slash to a 7 and a slash to denote zero instead of O. Useful if you are writing code on paper or writing a long series of numbers by hand.

[Per Etymonline (not to be confused with our online 'Ettes):]
aftermath (n.)
1520s, originally "a second crop of grass grown on the same land after the first had been harvested," from after + -math, which is from Old English mæð "a mowing, cutting of grass" (from PIE root *me- "to cut down grass or grain").
Other words for it were aftercrop (1560s), aftergrass (1680s), lattermath, fog. The figurative sense is by 1650s. Compare French regain "aftermath," from re- + Old French gain, gaain "grass which grows in mown meadows," from Frankish or some other Germanic source similar to Old High German weida "grass, pasture."
When the summer fields are mown,
When the birds are fledged and flown,
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the falling of the snow,
With the cawing of the crow,
Once again the fields we mow
And gather in the aftermath.
[Longfellow, from "Aftermath"]

the Common Core standards introduced in 2010, emphasizes conceptual understanding over rote memorization of procedures. This approach encourages students to break down multiplication problems into smaller, more manageable parts using visual and conceptual tools.
A common technique is the "box method" or area model, where numbers are decomposed into their place values (e.g., 35 becomes 30 and 5, and 12 becomes 10 and 2), and then multiplied in a grid format.
The partial products from each cell of the grid are then summed to find the final result. For example, multiplying 35 by 12 involves calculating 30×10=300, 30×2=60, 5×10=50, and 5×2=10, which are then added together to get 420.

I always assumed it was kind of mimicking what you generally see on historical landmarks & plaques where dedication years were (still are?) represented in Roman numerals for some reason.
Would be interesting to know the basis of that tradition ... but can't look up right now.

Exactly. Resisting the left, who have this schedule of History of phases we have to go through.
Gentile and Mussolini had a discrete falling out because Gentile, the theorist of fascism, was much more progressive than Mussolini turned out to be. Their first rift was whether or not the Catholic Church should be involved. Mussolini reasoned that so many Italians were Catholic that it made sense to secure support from where you can.

Heuristic for a typology. Jerry Pournelle (later his two d matrix was used by Libertarians with their smallest political ideology test). Jerry back when he was a poli sci prof at Pepperdine, came up with two dimensions of economic and social differences in political ideology. Think it was published in a journal at the time but certainly he would discuss it throughout his life.
The Right in Euroland has a specific meaning rooted in history based on blood and history of a nation and usually included preservation of royalty and state religions when those were a thing. Less useful on the right in the US because of the whole royalty and state religion thing being dumped but often there is a related term of Heritage Americans aka descendants of the original English/Scots/Irish/German settlers versus immigrant latecomers in the 1850's and later.
Some argue for a creed based nation of ideals but that has the problem of defining exactly what the creed to be preserved contains.
Nowadays, at least in the US, it is easier to define the Right by what it is not--the Left.

Probably as the Macy's parade is finishing up - that's when the lunch tray goes out (and no one eats anything else til dinner with the tray).
Spouse picked Italian for the theme, so we have proscuitto (for me), speck, and salami with some roasted tomato mozzarella and 4 other cheese slice things (I don't eat it, so can't remember what they are), and some varied crackers (and now the bread, too). Then the pumpkin dip with apples, asian pears, pineapple, and clementines. I put out 2 trays (and take my meat from the pack, so I can just dairy up the one) - one the proteins and one the fruit and dips, and it works for 7...
I do try to spread the "cooking" and "eating" nice stuff all day, so kids get good food memories from dawn to dusk (and dessert is lightest b/c no one really wants it)...

Gramsci was a Communist (not fascist like Gentile) but argued the best way to rectify Marx's mistake. Marx proposed economic classes as the way to promote revolution; Gramsci argued post WWI where Commie revolutions largely failed including places like Germany that Marx assumed would be at the forefront, that in the industrialized West, a long march through institutions was necessary including social organizations.
Basically seize the heights of the socioeconomy of states rather than rely on a revolution by the proletariat.

Right, because on this side of the pond, we're anti-monarchal from the get-go. Hereditary rule doesn't even enter the question, once the union got going.
The "Right" of the French Revolution weren't even that traditional, they just reasoned that offspring--especially the very young--of the nobles don't need to be killed for having been born noble. For that they were called "counterrevolutionaries".
People really need to realize that the left becoming more extremely selective and violent is an illustratable historical pattern.

I think the violence comes from a loosely knit class of people that want to rule others but don't have the connections, money, or power to pull it off via those means.
So they rely on the crudest forms of control which is by violence. And then like starving dogs, they fight among themselves for scraps of power when they take over a state.
Only evil and/or corrupt people would want to rule over unwilling subjects by violence. Even most kings were constained by the idea of Christianity in the West. Commies have no such scruples because to them, common people are akin to potato chips. They can always make more (an error turns out but that is the way they feel).

There is no "far right". "Far right" is a label the left and imposters on the right attach to positions that tend to discard "right" positions while attaching things the right doesn't believe in so as to cause confusion and derision.

Nominal measures of Left and Right that some activists believe can be calibrated into an ordinal measure similar to a number line where a theoretical zero would indicate a moderate and then each additional notch such as center left, left, far left and similar to that on the right.
Difficult to do in practice because no one agrees on the rank ordering of policies that denote the ordinal measuring point.
Ends up being bad rhetoric with little to no dialectical truth within it.

I prefer *functional* analysis. There is no substance or function of "right".
Is it to put everything under the government or is it to decentralize government?
The first one is fascism, proper, and the second one is American conservative centrism.
The fascists don't tend to want a "200-year-old piece of paper" tell them what rules have to be followed, any rules and inhibit the state are detrimental to the interests of the state.
So what happens when you want a strong military? Well, then you're a "fascist", a "nationalist", even though the one national function you think we ought to have is one laid out in the "200-year-old piece of paper"
that still gets in the way of the "progress of the state".

Without diving deep yet into the Hong Kong fire that's happening right now November 26, 2025, I have a couple thoughts.
1. Wrapping your building in flammable materials (bamboo scaffolding) for construction work in 2025 is a wild choice, especially in a high rise.
2. Wrapping multiple high rise buildings within feet of each other in flammable materials is an even worse choice.
3. Dried bamboo burns incredibly well as it is, but the addition of spacing for the scaffolding from floor to floor likely allowed for greater airflow allowing for a much more efficient burn and travel up the exterior of the building.
4. The death toll currently stands at 14 and I can almost guarantee that will rise, potentially by a lot. The hope here is fire crews in Hong Kong realized they were dealing with an exterior fire spreading up the building and had the capability and awareness to sound a general evacuation, especially of the other buildings before they ignited.
5. This could be Grenfell all over again. Except multiplied by 4.

All of the social sciences are replete with bad data. That being said, never throw away data because it is bad--figure out a way to use the bad data in a probabilistic sense so as to separate the gold from the dross.
So the lazy fascist smear by leftists does not mean that fascism itself as a concept is invalid. Same with right or left as nominal markers of ideology. It is whether or not the data exists to support or not support the concept as applied to specific cases.

The Morning Report — 11/26/25
On Monday, the Department of War announced that Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be “recall[ed] to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures” because of his participation in what has now been dubbed the “Seditious Six” video. . . While Kelly’s participation in his party’s “Seditious Six” gambit is certainly egregious, it shouldn’t be considered surprising. For years, the Arizona Democrat has regularly undertaken actions that undermine America’s national security. . . . . . the Arizona senator criticized the Trump Pentagon’s plans to investigate the retired general [Mark (vanilli) Milley]for reportedly telling his Chinese counterpart that the Trump-led U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. Rather than condemn Milley’s purported actions, Kelly leapt to his defense. . . It’s almost fitting that Kelly’s apparent lack of concern over Milley’s reported actions involved America’s greatest geopolitical adversary, given the retired Navy captain’s extensive ties to entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party. . . As has been widely reported in recent years, prior to becoming a senator, Kelly co-founded the Arizona-based space tourism company World View in 2012. According to a 2020 report by RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree, World View received investment funds in 2014 and 2016 from Tencent, a Chinese tech giant that owns (and reportedly monitors) the Chinese messaging app WeChat. (Tencent is also known for suspending streaming of NBA games in 2019 after a league general manager voiced support for the Hong Kong protestors.) . . .But Kelly’s role in World View is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2020, The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Arizona Democrat was an adviser to and “held a significant financial interest in a Colorado company that partnered with a Chinese state-financed tech giant to bring supersonic aerospace technology to China in 2018,
Just as surely as mythical Senator Pat Geary was owned by Don Emilio Barzini, Mark Kelly is likely owned by Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. Period Full Stop. And as absolutely disastrous as it would be for one American politician especially at this level to essentially be an intelligence asset of our greatest foreign rival if not enemy (which they sure as hell are) the horrifying reality is that Kelly is not a one-off.
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has filed a federal civil lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Bill Pulte, accusing him of violating privacy laws by accessing his confidential mortgage records. Swalwell claims these records were improperly used to refer him to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for an investigation into mortgage and tax fraud allegations.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Pulte engaged in “unprecedented and unlawful” practices by obtaining mortgage records through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Swalwell, who recently announced his candidacy for Governor of California, stated that the disclosure of these records damaged his reputation at a critical political moment.Pulte has also referred other prominent Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, to the DOJ for investigation. Schiff and James have denied wrongdoing, while Cook is challenging her removal from the Federal Reserve Board by the Trump administration in a case the Supreme Court will hear in January.Swalwell is small potatoes, but he is illustrative of how far down the corruptibility of our politicians and others to foreign influence, in this case the Chi-Coms, goes. He was given the nickname of Yum-Yum by GOP Rep Troy Nehls for the former's intimate relationship with know Chinese spy Christine Fang. Currently: Eric Swalwell is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Homeland Security. He also serves on the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law and the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. Yeah, shagging a Chi-Com spy is no big deal in this context, is it?! But all that said, what would happen in the event that Red China attacked or attempted to invade and conquer Taiwan by force as they have been planning and itching to do since 1949 and for the past several years have been openly threatening and even planning vis a vis the acquisition of the military hardware necessary for a seaborne operation, as well as the weaponry to prevent a swift American naval response to block such a move. If President Trump's command authority were undermined in advance by the actions of Kelly and his co-conspirators who have sown dissent and ultimately mutiny in the ranks, it would certainly give the Chi-COM PLA and Navy a strategic edge they might otherwise not have had. Kelly deserves the wrong end of a rope as do all the others. Have a good day.

Overall, what Democrats did is textbook color revolution stuff. The entire objective was to try and create disunity in the ranks, mutinous behavior and fear of prosecution for following lawful orders. It’s a disgrace that I have never seen across my years. It’s alarming not just in its hubris, but in its clear goal to subvert the CiNC and CoC. Democrats are not good people. They don’t have anyone’s interest in their hearts. Only their own thirst for power and dominion over the American people. Nobody should be fooled or mislead as to what’s going on here.

It's 53 degrees here right now, with some rain on the way. It looks like the rest of the week will be chilly, and snow is predicted for next week, though who can tell?
As I said on Pixy's thread, I wish no-one was coming over tomorrow. I just want to be left alone with my doggehs. I'm not a holiday person.

No wonder all I'm hearing now from the Commies in Arizona is that Kelly has aspirations of running for The Presidency.
Fitting to have yet another treasonous ChiComm asset: both Clintons, Gore, DogEater, and F. Joe Mugabe. I'm actually kind of stunned none of them haven't yet simply formerly surrendered the country to The ChiComm Red Army ... I guess The Yuan doesn't go as far as it once did here.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira, described by Homeland Security officials as “a criminal illegal alien from Brazil,” was detained in Revere, Massachusetts, after allegedly overstaying a B2 tourist visa that expired back on June 6, 1999.
But wait, there's more!
"This individual is the mother of Karoline’s nephew and they have not spoken in many years,” the source said. "The child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with his father since he was born. He has never resided with his mother.”

Personally, I think the country was taken over by the Chinese decades ago without firing a shot. They either own, or control nearly every aspect of our society. Especially the tech/biz and municipal infrastructure sectors.
It's been theorized the ChiComs have a literal "off" switch at their disposal for a lot of our infrastructure. And they don't require their military to do it.

Anyway, one doc straight up said “It’s important nobody ever finds out about this, it’s illegal as hell, and we’d get in a lot of trouble”. Par for the course, apparently. The assumption, a very dangerous one, was too often, or is “Well these guys are patriots, I don’t really want to know what they are doing, but I’m sure they are doing good work”.

There's way more than 12 million illegals in this country. Still... "50% of illegal immigrants are taking jobs that could be filled by citizens" means that those citizens are likely "just taking gummint money and benefits" so all 12 million mentioned have a negative impact on the country.
Further, this assumes that the six million who have jobs don't have families. They don't have kids driving up the cost of schools. They don't have wives, or perhaps girlfriends, who may be on benefits. They don't go to ERs. Pull the other one.

The fact that it hasn't already been dismissed shows that these clown judges actually enjoy smearing themselves with shit and rolling around in it.
There is absolutely no basis for his "I once criticized the President so, you can't charge me with a crime I clearly did."
But, worse, look at the relief sought--to have the judiciary order the executive to NOT ENFORCE THE LAW!!!
But, like I said: Clown judge is rolling around in shit and giggling.

The collectivists want to destroy the nation state, and I see this at the micro level too. They are very insistent about this. A self described group, a collective if you will, is not allowed to define itself.
Thus, the Boy Scouts (for example) must allow atheist kiddie-fvckers to become Scoutmasters, or you can’t use the public school gymnasium any longer. An after school Christian group must admit Satanists, because it would be “discrimination”, etc.
When a politician says “That’s not who we are” it begs the unasked question of whether we are allowed to decide what we are going to be. Of course the answer is always “No” but they leave that part out.

I think you are framing the question wrong. Every country on this planet wants to plunder the US of anything it can get. Israel is just better than all other nations - they get huge support from Evangelicals, so its not so much ideology that is the driving force, its just that "helping Israel" is a political bonus in that on the balance sheet it leverages the most Goodwill.
China, unfortunately, doesn't have that form of Goodwill, so it must leverage money and power as its motivator. Mark Kelly loves money and power and hating America has no political or social downside, so the choice is easy.
Kelly swims in an ocean of America hating, so in that he finds comfort and moral support when he sells the country down the river for generation wealth, he can sleep at night.

Before I go - Bulg, you asked me about my new novel.
William Taylor was at least bisexual, as he had a wife and daughter (whom he abandoned), but was also having an affair with set designer George Hopkins.
The most generally accepted theory for his murder is that he was shot by Charlotte Shelby, mother of actress Mary Miles Minter, out of insane jealousy. The actress Mabel Normand is sometimes put forward as a possible suspect, as well.
Several years back, the author William Mann, in his book Tinseltown, offered the theory that Taylor's death was a blackmailing attempt gone wrong.
My book has a theory I have never seen. I don't know how people will take it.
And now I am out.

Wouldn't have unrigged the voting machines. Look up Smart elections lawsuit in NY. Shit is fishy 🤔
Mark Kelly is like the quintessential American hero. The OG Iron Man. Absolutely insane for MAGA to attack him. Shows their true colors, though.
Insane? Sure. Surprising? No. Remember when Trump made fun of McCain for being a POW? “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
Mark Kelly is everything Hegshit wishes he was. I’ve been saying that Hegshit chose the wrong family to fuck with.
Mark Kelly for president! Nothing makes Trump look more pathetic than trying to take shots at an actual American hero. Not a single person I can think of more intelligent and more qualified to be the commander in chief.
Trump and his cult of slow adults know Kelly is an American treasure that also happens to be a top-tier contender for the presidency. He’s a genuine threat to their corrupt administration.

The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column. Journalism attracts the romantics that Want To Make A Difference. Building things up takes effort and swimming against the tide of sloth, selfishness, corruption and greed. Tearing things down is easy and it counts as "making a difference". So the lizard brain function is being satisfied with minimal effort.
Journalism is also not associated in any way with wealth generation. Its just a food pellet in exchange for n articles provided each week. This explains why scraping X and then adding a bunch of eyewash has been the usual tactic in satisfying the quid pro quo.
You also need to generate clicks - which means nearly all articles need to be rage-bait so that highly emotional nit-wits will "share" your article into a career boosting "viral article" based on views and "engagement".
So the formula for success is to plug-in to the zeitgeist, lie until the desire rage temperature is reached and then unleash onto the world.

I usually go to greatclips. The time before last, I got a black lady. There was a woman there who was giving this laundry list of instructions to her stylist, just on and on. My lady asked me: same thing as usual? 5 on top, 2 on sides, blended in the middle no bangs? Yep.
Then she said how much she preferred cutting guy's hair to womens because we all usually got the same exact thing that we have been getting for 20 years. The only variation we might want is for it to be shorter.

2026.
Because if they don't, they'll never take the House again.
And without the House, they have no chance at the Presidency.
SCOTUS is likely to rule against minority-majority districts, against post-election ballot counting, and allow gerrymandering (except with clear, present and overt racist motives).
There's also a decent chance they end birthright citizenship.
And if they end mail-in ballots for all?
That's just the courts: Whoever wins 2028, controls the 2030 Census.
And whoever controls the Census, sets their party with a massive EC (and House) advantage for the next decade.
And sets the entire SCOTUS for decades ...
2026: Buckle up, the last 10 years were the easy years.

For example, I would think an order from the President to disarm law-abiding citizens would be an illegal order.
But there's nothing I can think of that would pertain to foreigners. If the President changed ROE in War XYZ and said "now, the orders are to liquidate the entire population of Sri Lanka," that would certainly be bad, but I can't see how it would be legal to defy him on it.

Moreso.
The GOP is the only thing keeping the Democrats going, as critical to them as the air they breathe. If voters leave the GOP en masse - if it quickly ceased being a viable political Party - the Democrats would cease being a viable Party within a few years.
Their entire regime is completely dependent on the opposition Party being firmly under their control. Without that, they're doomed, and very quickly.

Yeah, that was tried in Venezuela and it didn't work. Ask anyone about Chavez or Maduro's reign since then.
Just like national strikes or other simplistic solutions.

I taught cohorts of Chinese students for graduate study in administrative law for several years early in my academic career.
They had a intel minder in every class and you could tell because they were the most lazy of students that relied on others to do their work for them from fear.
One of the bravest Chinese that I had in my class was a defense attorney from China who was seeking our university's MPA to work in the judicial system. Chilling tales to my undergrads about how 'justice' worked in the PRC. At the time, I was teaching Comparative Law.

Moreso.
The GOP is the only thing keeping the Democrats going, as critical to them as the air they breathe. If voters leave the GOP en masse - if it quickly ceased being a viable political Party - the Democrats would cease being a viable Party within a few years.
Their entire regime is completely dependent on the opposition Party being firmly under their control. Without that, they're doomed, and very quickly.

Trump's first impeachment took place after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election

‘America First’ Means Jobs First
American First means jobs for Americans first.
Which means H-1B and OPT need to be shitcanned (or put on moratorium for at least 10-20 years) and punishments need to be enacted for all the companies outsourcing engineering jobs to India (e.g. auto industry).
India is the biggest enemy to American jobs, through massive fraud of H-1B and OPT (Optional Practical Training) and through massive fraud with companies who outsource. Fake degrees, fake resumes, lying in interviews, etc.

Does it persist? Or is MAGA only persisting because Donald Trump is President?
Is there a MAGA movement of any consequence outside of President Trump's leadership? Would the people in the MAGA movement be MAGA if they were not following orders from President Trump? Or are they just riding his coattails because that is the popular thing to do now and waiting until he is gone to revert back to their less-than-MAGA ways like what happened after the stolen 2020 election?
Charlie Kirk was supposedly the leader of the MAGA movement for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha. Is there anyone else who is supposedly as popular and influential as him?
Who are the MAGA leaders making a difference on their own in institutions and companies and government? And do they have popular support across the country like President Trump does?
Is there a Discover the Networks worthy network of groups and institutions for MAGA as there has been for decades for the Marxist Left?
The midterms will tell a lot regarding whether MAGA is a movement or MAGA is just President Trump's base that will splinter and die like the TEA Party.

The Marxist Left destroys the Boy Scouts of America and turns the Girls Scouts completely woke and liberal. And instead of trying to get them both back to what they were, they are just abandoned to the Left.
Brilliant. Seems to be the strategy for the right for everything the left infects and takes over. Just let them have it. Let the Marxist left take over and destroy every American institution. Scouts, entertainment, sports, you name it.
Now it's the same with areas in America. Marxist leftists and Muslims and Third World savages taking over cities and states and the reaction is "fuck 'em, let those places die".
Funny way of "making America great again" by letting all the past American institutions be taken over by the Left and destroyed.

Daily Tech News 26 November 2025
Top Story
- TSMC, the world's leading manufacturer of high-end chips, says it can meet one third of the demand from AI buildouts. (Tom's Hardware)
Expect shortages of everything electronic. Except hobby stuff like the Raspberry Pi Pico which is made on equipment from 2008 that the AI guys don't even think about.
- Rapidus - a new Japanese chipmaker funded by a list of the top companies in that country including Toyota and Sony - is set to start construction of a 1.4nm fab in Hokkaido in 2027. (Tom's Hardware)
Due to start production in 2029.
So don't expect relief from the crunch any time soon.
Unless the bubble bursts.
Tech News
- Intel's Nova Lake CPUs - expected next year with up to 52 CPU cores - will also have up to 144MB of last-level cache, similar to AMD's X3D chips. (WCCFTech)
But you can't have the 52 cores and the 144MB of cache. The 52 core version has a second CPU die, and apparently the large cache version needs the space for its cache die. 28 cores max on those models, and only 8 of them full speed.
By comparison, AMD is expected to launch CPUs next year with 24 full speed cores, but no "efficiency" cores.
- What is the role of tech journalism in a world where CEOs no longer feel shame? (Platformer)
Your role is to report the fucking news.
This is about that disastrous interview with Roblox's CEO, but also about reporters who have completely forgotten - if they ever knew - that their job is to report:I'm still reckoning with what it means to do journalism in a world where the truth can barely hold anyone's attention - much less hold a platform accountable, in any real sense of that word. I'm rethinking how to cover tech policy at a time when it is being made by whim. I'm noticing the degree to which platforms wish to be judged only by their stated intentions, and almost never on the outcomes of anyone who uses them.
No sign of intelligent life.
- Campbell's Soup's CISO and vice president Martin Bally has been put on leave after video of him surfaced declaiming that Chicken noodle soup is people! You're eating people! and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. (The Register)
Although the audio is garbled, in a later section he appears to cry out You maniacs! You blew it up!
- Amazon has launched its Leo satellite internet, offering speeds of up to one gigabit per second. (Amazon)
Can you use it? Not yet. Trials for enterprise customers start next year.
Also, Amazon's satellite cloud falls just a little short of Starlink's: 150 vs. nearly 8000.

If they keep up with this long string of losses they’ve had the past few years there will be some serious talk of breaking it up or a fed buyout.
I don’t think Lisa Su would go for it, but AMD could get back in the fab business by buying a few of Intel’s.
If Intel can make 18A close to TSMC’s cutting edge nodes they might be able to pull out of this slump.

Only problem is that WEST, being brand new and a streaming channel doesn't have a big advertiser pool to work with yet so they're stuck with more than half of their commercials being Ad Council PSAs.
I've seen the "Head in the Cloud" anti-vape warning ad for parents. They usually play that 2 or 3 times in a row, followed by the other ad where dad is trying to talk to his teenage daughter about vaping and the only way he can get her attention is to do a TikTok dance fad while she tells him "You're doing it wrong" before she shows him how to dance the dance in front of an oval light and a camera.
Not to mention the "Asian Hate" PSA where the kinda cute Korean gal who owns a cab company, somewhere in CA I'm guessing, decided to give Asians free rides in her cabs so they don't have to walk and get harassed on the street.
Followed up by the PSA where they have asinger singing about "Walk a mile in my shoes" in old Gospel style.
I've seen every one of those 200 times in the last month at least. I can recite the actors lines before they do.

Someone on Althouse (yes, I know) suggested the bastard be brought back to active duty, assigned to Gitmo and tasked with cleaning latrines with a toothbrush. Then, every other day, bust him in rank for not doing it properly until you get him down to private, and then make him retire on a private's salary.
But, as many wiser than I have predicted, all that will happen is that he'll get a slap on the wrist, a "naughty, naughty!" wink and told to be more careful next time. Because, if you think the same FBI that persecuted Catholics and stood with their thumbs up their asses while Trump survived Butler is actually going to do anything, then I would like to sell you some Arizona Beachfront property.

The most common approach involves using bio-ink composed of cultured animal cells, which are grown from stem cells isolated from a tissue sample and then multiplied to form a cellular mass. This bio-ink is loaded into a 3D printer, which deposits the material through a nozzle following instructions from computer-aided design (CAD) software to replicate the desired meat structure, such as a steak. After printing, the structure is typically placed in an incubator to allow the cells to differentiate into muscle and fat cells, forming tissue similar to real meat.

Food printing hasn't hit mainstream yet, but it's coming, along with printing pharmaceuticals and eventually biological material.
It works the same way a 3D printer works.
You start with different protein & fat packs, and the printer will print out the meat like a 3D printer does, layer by layer on top of each other.
They've already printed out chicken, steaks and hamburgers.
But the flavor hasn't been perfected yet and doesn't taste real.
Once they get over that hurdle we'll start seeing 3D printed meats if the governments of the world allow it.

This should take you back: when most cuts of meat were still sold as a hunk, they were all stamped "Grade A" or "prime," in blue ink. It was grape juice. Haven't seen it in this millennium.
I'd think the tricky part of meat printing would be resettable type.

The most vivid parts were as we churned through rough, literally black seas (though it was daylight and not even raining, just overcast), steering around red-black outcrops of stone that jutted out of the ocean. Then we made port somewhere in southern New Zealand (I was told): a dreary and rainy town where half the people we saw were old, feeble, and gray. "The blocks get longer after here," the captain said.
We discovered while there that one of our passengers had planted huge bombs in the cargo hold designed to blow us up. As the captain was ordering them removed and defused, I woke up.

They've turned the term "sexual assault" into a complete joke due to overuse.
Yes, lady, the half-naked guy sleeping on his own couch, probably drunk out of his mind, was a real asshole for leaving the door open, but it doesn't qualify as sexual assault in any sense of the term.
"Assault on your eyes": most definitely.
"Rape": not in a million years, sweetheart.

The cops working this case must be loving the fact she keeps making their case easier, that she posted her crime and even stated her intent in video format so all they have to do is "Jamie pull that up" at her trial.

Theoretically, GFM would cancel any fundraisers for her as she was accused of a crime. Another case of some lefty getting screwed by GFM's Rittenhouse Rule. She'd have to go to GSG.

Attorney here, charging the trespass is a waste of time considering there's two dead to rights felony charges already on the table. She's a Doordasher, all it takes is her attorney going "she didn't read the leave it at the door part it was a mistake" and its suddenly an issue that would have be decided at trial. She's so incredibly, overwhelmingly, screwed on the unlawful surveillance charges any defense attorney will tell her to take a deal for a lesser sentence and be done with it.
Even with her being window licking levels of stupid her screaming assault will turn a case into a media circus, and getting a quick guilty plea to end it is definitely the way to go.

You Don't See This Every Day Motorist in North Carolina tells 911: ‘I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield’
A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In a call to 911, the unidentified driver on U.S. Route 74 in Swain County, near Bryson City, told a dispatcher that a bald eagle dropped the cat. Bryson City is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southwest of Asheville. It’s not clear if the feline slipped from the eagle’s talons Wednesday morning or was discarded simply because the big bird didn’t have a taste for it. “You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”Check out the whole thing. I wonder if this falls into the "we've seen a thing or two" bucket that one insurance company always mentions.

The vanvera was a strange accessory worn primarily by female aristocrats that allowed them to discreetly pass gas during social events. The origins and history of the vanvera are shrouded in mystery; some sources claim it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, while others that it was inspired by Roman creativity, but there is no real evidence that this gas-muffling invention has its roots in ancient history. What everyone seems to agree on is that the vanvera was used by the aristocracy of that era, primarily women who could easily conceal it under their large, elaborate dresses. The vanvera on display at the Sex Machines Museum in Prague consists of a leather pouch that connects to the wearer’s behind, muffling farts and containing the foul-smelling gases during social events. It can then be emptied in private by squeezing the pouch.Guys would totally use this differently. "Dude, you shoulda smelled this one I ripped last night. Oh wait, I got it here in my vanvera - check it out!" {pooooofffff}

Sounds awesome! Elder son of mine and I did something similar a few years ago. First Thanksgiving without the lovely late Mrs. Doof. Younger son was overseas doing his gap year thing. The 2 of us traveled to Lexington for several days. Did some stops on the Bourbon Trail. Went to the UK vs Louisville game. We made Thanksgiving dinner before we left MD and heated it up in the hotel. Watched hockey and college football and basketball, played cards, and drank bourbon. Was a fantastic time!

"They claimed disco was dead, too. But it still lives on in garrett's heart."
He literally has a CoB nicknamed Disco, yet it's Garrett's heart that gets down with the groove.

Shoot? No, they just need a rabbit stick ... throw it and knock the rabbit out (or kill it outright). I've actually tried that briefly, and came close a few times. Just a solid ~1' x 2" solid stick ... thrown hard at a rabbit, it would stop them. Or maybe that is some Indian trick, idk where I learned it. Maybe in my brief "Tracker School".

In the early 90s. I was driving to work late night, stopping at an intersection, and this chick suddenly comes up and asks for a ride home. My back seat was full of camping gear from the weekend that I hadn't cleared out. She asked what that stuff was in a quiet, "are you an axe murderer voice". Oh, that's just camping stuff, so where am I taking you, I got 10min to get to work. She told me and I dropped her off at a house then sped to work.
I think about her occasionally. I hope she makes better decisions.

Anyway, I was reading about them last week. They obviously *hate* Trump and are always putting nasty jokes about him on their outside sign, but aren't above making money off him. They have a specialty, Trump Footlong Hot Dogs. (They're each three inches long.)

Afterwards, my son and I stepped out to check out the neighborhood while my wife stayed behind to catch up. Going down 5th Avenue, we passed the Museum of Sex on our way to the Museum of Mathematics just around the corner on the same block.

But in ‘84 it built to a second peak with Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Victoria Principal, Dana Carvey and others - a few more wonderful seasons til it faded again.
And the final high was the David Spade - Chris Farley - Norm McDonald era. After that, which was in the 90’s, it was never worth watching again.

If you have someone for whom it it is difficult to shop -- and they like coffee, I'd like to suggest getting them an order from Porto Rico Importing (note the spelling). If they grind their own beans, even better. They have the freshest beans around. The place moves coffee beans. The store has been in business since 1907, for whatever that's worth.
I'd go for pound sampler packs: A blend, a country and a flavor. The flavor's easy, hazelnut; it tastes great both hot and cold. For the blend I'd go with Peter's Blend. A darker roast, full-bodied yet not bitter; a good cup of coffee. I've tried some of their other blends but this one's the best. For the country, go with the Costa Rican. A medium roast, full-bodied coffee with an interesting flavor profile. (I didn't like the flavor profiles of the African coffee beans I've tried and I've only had Hawaiian Kona from the 'Asia and the Pacific' section.) You could add their New Orleans blend, as they have a good recipe using chicory; when you drink a cup, you're transported to Cafe du Monde in The Quarter. A Columbian bean is always a solid choice.
1/2
Posted by: RickZ at November 25, 2025 10:49 PM (gKDq2)
Or, if you really, really love that person, you can give them Hawaiian Kona @ $74/lb. (absolutely delicious, a nutty coffee with a chocolate undertone) or Jamaican Blue Mountain @ $106/lb (never had it but from all reports it's supposed to be The Nectar of the Gods coffee-wise).
They will grind beans to your request, course, fine, etc., though I never do that as I get whole beans.
Free shipping anytime on orders over $75.

I remember the sequential blinker lights on the mid-'60s Thunderbirds. Though I'd forgotten that the Cougar, Mercury's answer to the T-Bird, had them too. Didn't some other car companies offer them a little later?
Earlier this year we saw a Cougar, well-restored, outside a coffee shop/bakery in a suburban town near us. I knew what it was immediately, though I hadn't seen one since the late '90s in Denver. Black, with a red interior, it was amazing in its proportions and styling. The hood and trunk each seemed twice as long as a mid-size car today, and the vehicle was low to the ground -- though it hadn't been lowered as far as I know.
The owner said it was the first year, the 1967. Not the XR-7 model, the "sporty" one with the toggle switches on the dash like the Jaguar E-Type of those days.

Murray wasn't part of the "original" cast-- he was a writer season one and came on in season two after Chevy Chase left to make movies. (Foul Play, not exactly a comedy classic.) They got into a fight when Chase returned as a guess host.
But I concede that Murray is considered part of original glory days.

Cougar was initially a gussied-up Mustang on the Mustang platform. At some point in the mid '70's, it became a clone of the Thunderbird on the Thunderbird platform.

I think you're right. The T-Bird was a larger car than the original Cougar, which was closer in size to the Mustang.

The "Melbourne cabbage" is stolen shamelessly from the original recording of the Crepitation Contest, which can be enjoyed on Youtube. Don't settle for the latter-day imitations; the original was recorded in Canada, at Maple Leaf Gardens.

People shuttled up and down the river to go back upstream or downstream pick up their cars and then drive them to the next stopping point. So people with cars at a location would pick up obvious hitchhiking float people and take them to their cars.

There are Great Pyrenees rescue organizations, but they seem geared to people who are preparing to give up a dog - BEFORE they give it up. Sort of makes sense, since these are not Golden Retrievers who will just feel comfortable with anybody right off the bat.

Hubby used to get upset-- offended, even-- when I rearranged items in the dishwasher before starting it.
I tried to explain: "honey, you loaded it *just fine* but now there are *more* dishes and I'm trying to make everything fit so I don't need to hand-wash (as much)"
Mowing? I'd rather hubby did it. I do it the same way he did it-- except for running over the hose or getting hung up on that one big tree root, LOL.

My grandfather hunted rabbits by that method (ball peen hammer) when he was a youth during the Depression.
He said he got one out of about every three throws. He said a hit only stunned the rabbits, so you had to run up and throttle them before they re-gathered their wits.
I have eaten rabbit stew and squirrel pot pie at his house when I was a youth. However, he could afford .22lr ammo by that time!

Inside were three boards with small reed switches corresponding to various outside lights. Each reed switch corresponded to a set of lights - headlights, taillights, etc. Wrapped around each reed switch were the wires corresponding to the left and right bulbs of each set of lights. As long as both bulbs were lit, the magnetic field from each wire cancelled out and the switch stayed in the neutral 'off' position. If a bulb was out, no current would flow in the corresponding wire, and the magnetic field from the other wire pulled the switch to a closed position and illuminated a 'bulb out' lamp on the dash.
Gabich?

Back in high school, I had memorized pi to this many digits, 3.141692654, 10 digits, which was the calculator's resolution. Then, with double precision, or was it 80-bit IEEE-754, I memorized it to this:
3.141592653589793.
That's typing from memory. Both are stored separately in my memory somehow.

Well, Mrs B's niece, her sister's daughter, "might" actually be there and is pretty good in the kitchen, so I may have an out. If the draugrs don't show up at my brother's it will just be him, his wife, and my father, so I do want to go there. There have been times where Mrs B went one way and I went another in rare circumstances. Her sister's hand surgery 2 days before thanksgiving (great planning there), might be one of those occasions.

He lives about 1/4 mile away. I invited him for holiday meals-- Thanksgiving and Christmas-- every year for the last decade. He worked graveyard shift; hubby & I worked days... so the compromise was that "dinner" would be at 10pm to accommodate his schedule. (we usually had the next day off, so it wasn't a problem to stay up late)
Last couple of holidays, he accepted the invitations but NO SHOW. Didn't even call to cancel! I called him: ugh, still asleep... call back in an hour? Ok. An hour later: ugh, too tired...
Fk it. If he can't be arsed to drive 2 minutes, forget it. I'm DONE cooking a whole holiday meal for 3 people. Now, it's just me. Pfft. Cheeseburger!!!!!

Did a "Pi Day" for church fellowship back in July (because 22/7 is much closer to pi than 3.14). Put up a big sign with "pi*r^2" on it (but not in lame fake math figures like that). And baked a bunch of various pies (quiche is a pie!) that were round and square. Everybody thought it was great. But, dang were that many pies hard work.

Plus the added joy of inviting a "gluten-intolerant" drama queen, so I have to make special stuffing with that weird gluten-free bread.
Lots on the menu, because we have 11 coming. Big-ass turkey, which I shall cook unstuffed because I don't want to have to cook it forever.
Stuffing, potatoes, gravy (I found all three gravy pitchers, thank heaven), spinach salad with bacon and honey mustard dressing, fruit salad, rolls, cranberry sauce (made that two days ago), pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and whipped cream.
Before that, there's the pre-dinner spread for football: cheese ball, various cheeses, sliced meats, crackers of all kinds, fritos and onion dip, plus crudites, grapes, berries, apple-bacon jam I made yesterday, several different jellies I made this past fall (raspberry, grapefruit, orange, dreamcicle), ranch dip, whatever I come across in the fridge that looks good to serve.

When I redid the kitchen we ordered the appliances months before the cabinets came in, because it was about a year out of covid and supply was still a little shaky. There was a choice of a 2 rack dishwasher, with 56 people on a waiting list, or the 3 rack with only a few people on the list, so 3 rack it was. I wasn't sure the 3 rack was going to work, I figured to fit in 3 racks it might cramp the other 2. Well the interior was taller, which became glaring once I went to install it had almost no room under it to work. In the end it worked like a charm, the middle rack is adjustable for height, so no cramping the other racks, and Mrs b packs the shit out of that thing, and everything comes out spotless.

Current passwords, especially when you have to use a symbol in them, makes them easier to brute force than not. They are also hard to remember for the user, so it forces them to write them down someplace accessible, which defeats the entire purpose of passwords.
A much better solution is to remember a phrase or sentence and use that as the password. Much harder to crack, unless someone knows you very well.

Had to have a dead tree removed this spring. There was a galvanized pipe (fence post? about 2.5inch dia.) stuck in the ground right next to the trunk, and tree had grown into it somewhat. No way to just soak the ground & yank the pipe out.
Sawzall to the rescue! Cut smooth as silk, right through that pipe in about 5 seconds, as low as I could get it.
Tagged the stub with fluorescent pink spray paint & pointed it out to the tree crew, so nobody would get hurt.

The RMBS Dad's hobby was photography. Goddaughter The Younger's grandfather was a professional photographer. He had a Hasselblad that somehow got out of kilter. Told the dad if he could fix it, it was his. Surprising absolutely no one, the dad fixed it. One of these days I'll have to look up it's value.

Before they had kids, my brother and his wife would spend an entire Saturday watching a movie, getting tickets for another; and they had a great time seeing mostly pretty decent flicks. Some duds, of course, but that's part of the fun. Sometimes they would see three of four. But the 80s was kind of a golden age.

For a bit of irony, back when I was a teenager, I had a friend who was a bit of nature girl. She had a pet bluejay and one day, while she was walking, it was sitting on her shoulder.
Suddenly it took off and flew right at her house, nailing something that looked like a vine or twig hanging from the siding.
Turns out it was a praying mantis that failed camoflage school.

Buy tickets for another?

The edited tv versions always cut it out. But the one on the Home Beastmaster Office channel kept it in. And I think it was on HBO at least once a week or more.

I don't remember a ferret dying.

Tubi is streaming it. I just started it to rewatch once again. The three witches around the caldron are sporting a serious lap dance vibe if you take away the makeup.
A ferret most definitely dies. It's nearly as bad as the ending of Old Yeller.

My greatest veg-out at a movie theatre was in ‘74 - I looked it up - and the studio had this “Go Ape!” Promotion where you could go to the mall theatre on a Saturday and watch all 5 Planet of the Apes movies in a row - 10 grueling hours! Of course I did it.

Trump Turns Turkey Pardoning Ceremony Into Roast of Joe Biden's Autopen Pardons
These pardons weren't signed by autopen. They'll hold up in court.
President Trump turned Tuesday's White House turkey pardon into a full-blown political roast, using the annual tradition to take a swipe at Joe Biden's "autopen" pardons and even joking that he briefly considered naming this year's birds "Chuck and Nancy." ... Turning to Gobble and Waddle--described by Trump as "two of the fattest, happiest turkeys we've ever had here"--the president joked that when he first saw their photos, he almost went with "Chuck and Nancy." "But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them," he added. "I would never pardon those two people." Gobble and Waddle join a long list of clemency actions in Trump's second term, a tally that already exceeds 1,700 pardons along with numerous commutations. Trump joked that several aides were prematurely preparing to send the birds through El Salvador's anti-gang confinement system--a reference to the administration's deportation push. "Even these turkeys don't want to go there," he said. Trump also veered into Chicago crime. The president has repeatedly accused Pritzker and the city's mayor of refusing to work with him on a federal crime-reduction effort. "The mayor is incompetent and the governor is a big fat slob," Trump said, stressing that the prepared joke went too easy on Pritzker. "Some speechwriter wrote something about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to say he's a fat slob. I'd like to lose a few pounds too, by the way--and I'm not going to lose it on Thanksgiving."

A DOJ employee was arrested and booked on terrorism and evidence tampering charges for doxxing a federal agent during a raid in Brownsville, Texas.
Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the US Attorney’s Office in Brownsville, appeared on a live stream of a federal raid on June 9.
A male joined the livestream and issued a death threat against one of the federal agents conducting a raid.
Another viewer of the livestream, later identified as Karen Olvera De Leon, doxxed the federal agent and provided his identity to the man issuing the death threat.

There are a few people who Trump pardoned that the Left is screaming over. They claim that they are "supporters" and being pardoned because of that.
In reality, they were prosecuted because the were Trump supporters, and it is good and proper for Trump to undo the unfair and biased prosecutions, especially since the courts, juries, judges, and even defense conspired against them.

you can, you can also boil them in brine. I have chopped them up into thick slices or quarters and cooked them in bacon grease for 20 minutes on low, and then cooked an egg on them on low for another 10 minutes or so, and then of course you can put gravy on top if you wish.

My version on those little potatoes: bake them until almost done, then smush a crater in the middle with the back of a spoon, add a pat of butter with some grated cheese, crumbled bacon (and some sour cream for the people that like it). Bake for five more minutes and serve.
I can eat about five of them like that if I have been working at the farm.

You can do them as a normal baked potato. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and grease it (oil works, butter is better). Wrap the potato in the greased foil and bake it for a while. Around an hour at 350 should do it, but keep an eye on it Unwrap 'em, cut 'em in half, go to town with whatever you like on a baked potato.
The other way is sort of roasted, which is my preference. Cut them in half long-ways and array them on a baking sheet. Put salt and pepper on them in quantities that match your preference. Put a generous - if it looks like too much, it's probably enough - amount of butter on each potato half. Use Irish butter if you have it. Bake for about an hour or so at 350. You can convert it to broil for a minute or two at the end to brown them if desired.

Cracker Barrell CEO went on Glen Beck’s show to grovel for the rubes to come back to her shitty restaurants.
She no longer had the thick rimmed black glasses either. Guess her PR team told her to de-AWFLize herself.
How that bitch wasn’t fired is a mystery. She has to have photos of board members with live boys or dead girls.

I recently read a story of Sherman's troops, where one unit was resting on the front lawn of a plantation house during a march, while the women of the plantation were watching them carefully from the porch, and one of the men noticed the ground where he was laying had been disturbed. With a whoop to his buddies that he had found treasure buried to keep it from the Union soldiers, they started digging and unearthed a reeking box that turned out to have the decayed body of a spaniel in it.
One of the ladies on the porch commented archly, "Poor Curly isn't destined to find peace in this world or the next, that's the third time he's been dug up today."

The basis of all comedy, is cruelty. It can be talking about your Husband 'Fang' (Phyliss Diller), or yourself (Rodney Dangerfield), or slapstick like the Stooges (themselves)... or making fun of the Government or Society.... but there is always 'the butt' of the joke.
Comedians are afraid to be cruel now... or someone will complain and they will get cancelled.

I always liked that when Union troops were restricted to using the top rail of the common split rail fences for firewood on marches, the troops quickly reasoned that if they didn't like the owner that the other rails were now "top rails" and used them too. And patriotic southern Chickens and Pigs sometimes assaulted the poor troops.

Amazing: The New York Times Profiles an Illegal Alien Who Stole an American Man's Identity and Caused Him 20 Years of Legal Nightmares.
The Times Say They're Both Victims.
Via David Strom, who quotes the New York Times asserting that both the citizen whose identity was stolen, and the identity thief himself, are both victims of the same broken system and equally deserving of our sympathies.
Dan Kluver saw the police lights flashing in his rearview mirror late last year and eased his car onto the shoulder, thinking there had been some kind of mistake. He had spent four decades in rural Minnesota without ever getting into trouble. He prided himself on a life built around dependability and routine, working at the same factory where his father once did and spending his weekends coaching baseball and teaching Sunday school. He had never fired a gun, or smoked a cigarette, or missed a payment, or been arrested. "License and registration, please," the officer said. Kluver, 42, handed them over and waited while the officer went back to his patrol car. He listened to the church bells that rang every hour and watched sunlight reflect off the grain silos in downtown Olivia, where he knew most of the 2,400 residents, including the officer who was walking back to his car. "Is everything all right?" Kluver asked. "It's strange, but it looks like your license has been suspended," the officer said. "You've got another driver's license with some issues down in Missouri." "What?" Kluver said. "I've barely ever been to Missouri. How's that possible?" The officer had no answers, but Kluver feared he might know what was happening. Over the years, there had been signs that something wasn't right -- stray letters about wages earned in unfamiliar towns and collection notices for debt that wasn't his. Kluver had tried to untangle the mess several times by hiring tax specialists and driving to government offices across the state only to run into the same bureaucratic dead ends. But now the problem was bigger than unpaid taxes. Someone was impersonating him, moving through the world as Dan Kluver, building a life in his name with a government-issued ID.The identity thief used his Social Security to illegally work. The thief kept the money paid for his illegal labor -- but this citizen got "credited" with the thief's salary, which pushed his tax liabilities up, pushing him, in fact, into a higher tax bracket. He was expected to pay the taxes on the thief's earnings while the thief kept the earnings himself. As you can see, they were both victims here.
... Some years the other Dan Kluver had earned more than his own salary at a local sugar beet factory, which pushed the total income under his Social Security number into a higher tax bracket as the debt started to mount. Twice, he'd contacted law enforcement and filed an identity theft report with the federal government, where it landed in a pile along with tens of thousands of similar reports filed each year. He waited for relief while the I.R.S. docked his annual tax returns and garnished a few of his paychecks, costing him thousands. Finally, a few months before their wedding in 2012, Kristy decided to pay off the balance, emptying her savings and sending in a check for $6,000. Their relief lasted until the next tax season, when a new bill arrived -- this one for $22,000. They spent the next decade living with the consequences -- annual tax audits, budgets that never added up, whispered arguments after the kids went to bed. Kluver kept calling government numbers and waiting on hold until he eventually resigned himself to a payment plan. He agreed to send the I.R.S. $150 each month, which he'd done more than 35 times. "I can't keep obsessing over this and getting nowhere," he told Kristy. "I need to think about something else."Now the Times turns to the thief. I mean, The Other, More Deserving Victim.
He had lived under enough names and numbers in the United States that they started to blur together. Vincent Trujillo. Reynaldo Guerra. And then, for more than a decade, Daniel Kluver -- the name he used until he could barely remember what it felt like to exist as himself: Romeo Pérez-Bravo, 42, a Guatemalan immigrant who had spent most of his adult life working under borrowed identities."Borrowed." They won't even say "stolen."
... Perez-Bravo had come to the United States for the first time at 16 to help earn money for his family, traveling alone to join his father in Marshall, Minn. He hiked out of the Guatemalan highlands, rode atop a freight train for three weeks across Mexico, nearly drowned in the Rio Grande and took a Greyhound to Middle America, where life somehow felt harder. He slept on a couch in his father's apartment and enrolled in high school despite speaking almost no English. Then he began to look for a job, but no one would hire an underage worker without papers.No one would hire an illegal immigrant barred by the law from working, you mean. He's definitely the victim. He was forced to steal Dan Kluvin's identity and make his life a living hell. Read the whole thing from David Strom. The New York Times continues doubling down on the narrative that the first victim of Perez-Bravo's serial identity theft was... Perez-Bravo himself.
And he also "paid the price."
The narrative, man. Stick to the narrative. The law-abiding citizen whose life is being turned upside-down may be a victim, but Perez-Bravo has a story to tell, too.
This is exactly the kind of logic that lets criminals walk the streets after tens of arrests. They are people too, so if you look at it the right way, everybody is a victim. And Kluver is white, so really, he is the privileged one and should be happy to help out his brown brother, who suffers from oppression that is almost as bad as Michelle Obama's.
The Times believes that it was outrageous for the prosecutor to assert that this serial identity thief might just steal another identity and flee the court's jurisdiction under a new name if he were set free. Absolutely outrageous! He has "deep" "connections" to the city he's currently living illegally in! Amber Duke was herself a victim of a identity thief. Almost as much a victim of identity thief as the identity thief herself. She doesn't think her identity thief was the Real Victim Here.
He was charged with aggravated identity theft and false representation of a Social Security number and was held in detention for six weeks before an initial bond hearing in April. The State of Missouri argued that he was a flight risk who needed to remain in custody until the trial. "What's to stop him from going out and getting another identity and just living underneath that," the prosecutor told the judge. "We've seen that before." But Perez-Bravo had most of his family and several members of his church at the hearing, and his lawyer said that he was "connected to the city in deep ways."
I'm so sick of it. If liberals want to impose liberal policies on the country, they have to at least make sure the worst excesses of those policies are checked. They cannot allow maniacs to prowl the subway stations throwing grandmothers in front of trains, for example. And they cannot lionize criminal identity thief illegals. They have to show that they can demonstrate compassion without turning all of society into violent chaos. But they can't -- and the new breed doesn't even try. Their attitude is You deserve it, Colonialist Oppressors. So all of the illegals will have to go. If there's no protection for the citizens, there is certainly no protection for the fucking illegals. Kick them out. Kick them all out.
About seven years ago, my identity was stolen in a data breach. I found out fairly quickly because one of the thieves made a mistake: the receipts for their fraudulent purchases were sent to my email address. It still took almost two weeks to shut down the accounts opened in my name and clear them from my credit reports. I was constantly stressed and paranoid and couldn't focus on anything else in my life until my credit was cleared and locked down. I was lucky that I caught the identity theft early. Some people spend years digging themselves out after someone else pretends to be them. ... Pérez-Bravo had stolen multiple identities throughout his time in the U.S. While living here, he got several DUIs. He was deported in 2005, 2008 and 2009 but came back each time and stole another American's info.
... The story gets even more unbelievable from there. Pérez-Bravo was involved in a fatal accident that killed a 68-year-old grandfather and injured his 9-year-old granddaughter. He was cleared of wrongdoing but the family filed a wrongful death suit against Kluver, whose name was on the fake license Pérez-Bravo provided at the scene. The police eventually found Pérez-Bravo and he has been charged for his crimes. Nonetheless, the NYT report paints him as just as much a sympathetic victim as Kluver, describing him as a family man and hard worker who essentially had no choice but to steal an identity so he could make money for his family.

Lower food, housing and medical costs. Lower insurance (especially auto). Higher wages across the board.
Less crime (so even lower insurance).
Cheaper ammo costs, cause everyone feels just a tad bit safer...

My further position (which he and others will eventually get to), is that if these leftists aren't bound to any kind of shared ethics like Kennedy or Carter arguably were, we have to get rid of the leftists too.
Hell, we should give stays of deportation to illegals who will help us get rid of native born leftists. That would be amusing (and then we could make money broadcasting the results).

This is internally impossible. The premise here is nonsensical. The only point in pursuing a policy is to pursue it to its maximum level. Even if that isn't the *intent,* it absolutely will be the *outcome.* All policies are pursued to their maximum absurdity. This is one of many reasons the originalist policy of, essentially, "have no policy at all wherever possible" is so valuable - it, too, is pursued to its maximum until policy changes.
This is inevitable. The leftists' policies will be pursued to the maximum. No checks. No limits. It can be no other way. Same goes for non-leftist policy, of course, but I prefer non-leftist policies in general.

Since when does "compassion" have anything to do with anything? They barely even mouth the words anymore, and they never had any meaning.
It isn't about being "good" or "moral" or "compassionate" or whatever. It can't be even if that was the initial intent (which I doubt). A person can be charitable or compassionate or whatever else, but an institution cannot be. Institutional compassion is a contradiction in terms and trying to make one - or pretending to be one - can lead only to pathological excess of whatever it is the institution is doing.

I think its a simpler story than we're full. We lock our personal residence (even if one rents). We do that because we choose who we allow to enter, and when, and under what circumstances. There are people who I would let in were they to drop by at 6 in the evening that aren't gaining entry at 2 in the morning. There are other people who won't be allowed entry at all.
Why would running a country's borders be any different than managing one's front door?

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.
You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

Leftists absolutely believe in American exceptionalism. America is exceptionally bad. Exceptionally immoral. Exceptionally cruel. Exceptionally evil. America and Americans must, therefore, be exceptionally punished. We are not merely another dot in a sea of dots. We must be destroyed.

I'm not looking for a fight, but I'm not letting the leftists at the table get away with throwing out their socialist TDS crap and getting away with it. "Just let it go. It's not worth it" is going out the window. The reason these leftists feel so emboldened is because the rational people have let them get away with it for so long. They need to feel the burn of their stupidity. Relations be damned. I'm tired of this. It is insidious and gets into everything. No more.

Bodycam shows escaped ‘Slender Man’ stabber Morgan Geyser busted with transgender friend
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks
I was home sick and watched on Court TV the day that 'mental health' professionals appeared before a Judge saying that Geyser was A-Okay to be released from the Mental Hospital back in to society. The Judge gave her conditional release to a group home. The lawyers on TV were dumbfounded and asked during the break if the Judge and these mental health bozos would be comfortable having her in their homes baby sitting their kids. Well we see how this all worked out. Group homes are not confinement and ankle bracelets are easily dismantled. The defund police crowd wants these same mental health social workers policing criminals.

This has been a thing for years. The Dems have even complained that it is a reasona we can't "afford" to deport them.
Go ahead, try to file two returns and get two refunds, and tell us how that works out for you.
The illegals don't file, they don't get refunds, and in return the IRS and Treasury ignores their use of the SSNs. Everyone who has been exposed to the scam knows how this works, and it is why you can use the same SSN for a dozen illegals.

This is why I insist the first step to resolve this is for taxing authorities to refuse to allow employee write-offs to the employer for wages paid if there is a mismatch for SSN DOB and name, or if the employee shows up in multiple states or multiple employers.
There can be a three year period in which if the employer can get the employee to provide proof of identity the employer can amend or refile, otherwise it is flagged as fraudulent.

But freezing your credit is free and a very effective step to thwart identity fraud. It stops not only falsely-issued credit, but stops many other uses of your identity. Utility companies, landlords, etc. often run credit and it blocks that. Banks always will, and it will block accounts being opened in your name. It won't block other uses of your SSN, but it significantly reduces your attack surface.
You can do "credit monitoring" if you want to, but freezing your credit is free and effective.

True, but Nietzsche is not saying that's "moral", he's saying that's a base morality. He prefers it to "Slave Morality" which says "I am Evil". People who sublimate Nietzsche would say that FN really believes that a "Master Morality" refined through an appreciation of "aesthetics" (art) is really the better path forward.
"Master Morality" is not a suggestion, but a description of existing moral-related behavior.

Bingo! Stripped of all the pseudo-intellectual twaddle they’ve tried to foist on everybody for decades - this is absolutely the core of it. Everything.
They have a death wish, coupled with an inability to change their world view. And, they are cowards.
So they become more extreme, willing to sacrifice you and your children to try and maintain a fairy tale in their head. “Your Death Before Their Dishonor.”
The more charitable types basically feel guilty for not being born poor, and spend much of their time annoying the poor by trying to “help” them. And so it goes.

They're not for pedophilia! Heavens no--and they would never be for that!! However, they can take from a writer who's end goal was the mainstreaming of homosexuality so that he could bang teenage boys, eventually.
Why is there no need to distance themselves from that on the left?

The Left's ideologues--theologians, really--who are setting the dialectical agenda want to tear the whole thing down. The grifters and the people just trying to get by will mouth the Party line and pile on to the designated objects of the day's Hate. Both are afraid that if they don't they'll lose what they have.
Of the two victims, the identity thief is actually more victimy and therefore better. Anyway, he's doing more to burn down a systematically oppressive system which is an example of criminals actually helping to tear down a system which cannot meet the insane dialectical "ideals" and so must not continue.
If I'm reading the dates right, the identity thief came to the US under Billy Jeff, and continued his career under every president since.
Except Trump after he finally realized how much he needed to clean house. Imagine that.

Hey, he believed America was a fair place, and did what he was supposed to do to be part of it. He obeyed. What was he supposed to do, object? He would have been an asshole like the lead character in Falling Down

For Some Reason, Vanity Fair Will Publish an "Abstract Nude" Photo of Its New West Coast Editor and Weird Dick-Riding Flake Olivia Nuzzi
What is an "abstract nude"? I don't know. I imagine it's a nude photo which has been digitally altered with various effects and geometric pixelations so you can't see her beaver.
And based on reports, you'll be among the very select group of people who haven't seen her beaver. This is the media now. This is "journalism." And do we want to see this? I grant you that she does not have any particular feature which would disqualify her from being "attractive." She's not hugely overweight, she's not decrepitly aged, she has the full complement of limbs and teeth. But beyond that, is this... "beautiful"? As literally every media outlet demands you believe?
My headline "Olivia Nuzzi's Got a Fuzzi and Wants All the World to See It" turns out to have been prescient, no? Almost as if I owned a time machine, which I will have assured you, in the future, that I do not have.
Oh it's a drawing? So it'll be like a cubist sketch of her beaver? Will it be Escher-like? Will we see various older men walking up and down non-Euclidean stairs into her beaver?
Vanity Fair's glossy Hollywood issue will feature an abstract nude portrait of scandal-plagued editor Olivia Nuzzi -- even as staffers privately gripe that she has failed to carry out core duties since joining the magazine, according to a report. The portrait, drawn by artist Isabelle Brourman, will appear in the new print edition that is scheduled to hit newsstands on Dec. 2. No image of the drawing appears to have been circulated publicly, and it's unclear if renderings of the drawing have been produced or circulated among Vanity Fair staffers.
The sketch was commissioned months before the latest wave of allegations engulfed the 32-year-old writer, according to Status. Brourman previously collaborated with Nuzzi during her tenure at New York Magazine, which ended weeks after it was learned that she had a "sexting" relationship with then-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Apparently some staffers complain that, apart from lining up her next affair with a Democrat politician forty years her senior, she doesn't seem to work very much.
The inclusion of the abstract sketch in Vanity Fair's marquee issue has fueled internal backlash at a moment when the publication is already struggling to contain the fallout of her most recent controversies.
Is her talent of such a high level that she's worth all of this "turbulence?" Well, having skimmed excerpts from her sexual tell-all book American Canto -- which reportedly will feature some of the dirty sexts she exchanged with RFKJr. -- I would say that, as a writer, she's no Ryan Lizza. Not enough bamboo, for one thing. She begins by discussing the fires that consumed the Palisades, and asserts that the Palisades fires were very much like the negative publicity she received after her sexting affair was exposed.
Inside Vanity Fair, the controversy has collided with mounting frustration over Nuzzi's limited output. Staffers told Status she has skipped routine meetings and failed to turn in assigned work. Two people told the newsletter that one of her other editing assignments for the most recent issue of the magazine was not completed, leaving colleagues scrambling as the publication closed one of its most scrutinized annual issues. The turbulence has placed newly appointed editorial director Mark Guiducci under immediate pressure. Guiducci, who took over in June, has addressed staff at least twice since the allegations resurfaced, according to the Status report. At a team meeting Thursday, he explained how he first met Nuzzi and tried to calm anxieties inside the newsroom, the newsletter reported. He also downplayed the allegations, calling them "difficult to investigate because they occurred while she was employed elsewhere," according to Status. But some staffers remain skeptical that Nuzzi can continue in an editing role when she has produced little work while generating heavy turbulence, according to Status.
Below, apparently her cute gimmick is to refer to RFKJr. only as "The Politician," even though we all know who she means and in fact her publisher's publicity department is out there selling the book by promising RFKJr.'s sext messages.
A few minutes later, the planes swooped down to spray the flames in the bluffs. I watched from the Pacific Coast Highway, as far away from my problems as I could get on land, which was not far enough. You cannot outrun your life on fire.
What?
I would take a bullet for you," the Politician said. He always said that. "Please don't say that," I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible.
I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment.Let me interrupt to say that Sex and the City ruined would-be female writer. That show established the terrible trope that female writers are supposed to always look at some very mundane, very trivial AWFL consumer purchase and then make "clever" observations about it and spin that into some (let me get out my supply of Superfluous Quotes) " " " " deep " " " " point about life and -- especially -- dating and sex. Like, for example, Sarah Jessica Parker will be munching an everything bagel and wondering if all the spices clash with each other and then begin babbling about whether or not one can or should try to have an "everything relationship" or if one should have separate bagels -- different people -- to fulfill different needs. Maybe we need a Sex Bagel and a Confidante Bagel and a Going Shopping on Sunday Bagel. Maybe it's wrong to expect or even want an Everything Bagel for every situation. I don't know how that monologue would continue because I just shot myself through the temple. Good-bye Cruel World. Avenge me. You get what I'm talking about though, right?, I asked ghostilly. This horrific trope has infected so much female writing that... okay, I just basically won't read modern female writers. I pre-judge them. I assume that they're going to do the Sex and the City "clever" observations thing and I say: No.
I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny. I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein. Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I winced when he joked about the worm. "Baby, don't worry," he said. "It's not a worm." A doctor he trusted had reviewed the scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times, he said, and concluded that the shadowy figure was likely not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already vaulted from the sphere of meme to the sphere of screwy legend, but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain.
This reminds me of John Scalzi's quote: The failure state of "clever" is "asshole." In other words, if you try to be funny but the joke doesn't land, the failure state is that you weren't funny. If you try to make a serious point but fail to convince, the failure state is that you did not persuade your audience.
... As a child, I became convinced that death was not random, that life was the process of investigating what the point of it was, and as soon as you figured it out, in that very instant, you would ascend. God would eliminate you from this plane. He could not risk a leaker walking among the ignorant. The assignment was to crack the case for yourself. And when I would find myself thinking too hard about the central question, I would back away slowly, thinking, Well, I will return to this matter some other time when I feel more ready to possibly meet my end. What if I guessed correctly? The unsolvable puzzle. Tripping once, on a balcony in Washington overlooking the National Cathedral. Smoking what I did not know was my final cigarette. Unless someone offers me a Capri, which does not count. The great cosmic riddle, I figured I had solved it. The joke was that the joke was never done being told.Maybe we need a Philosphical Musing Bagel that we can make gaseous philosophical speculations with.
The wildfire is over my shoulder now, over the hill. The waxing gibbous moon is over my head. A thought bubble, it shines blankly. Across the country, the Politician is the guest of honor. Across the country with his wife. With Mike Tyson for some reason. People are mocking the photos, asking where I am, asking how she could stand there after all that. I know how. The earth here is hot. Inside the bonfire, what evidence can I burn? I think of all I turned to ash in hotel rooms. I think of how you cannot burn a cloud. I think of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, how there were so many, how the officials did not know what to do with them, and how fire seldom seemed to occur, though the White House and the president's properties are studded with fireplaces. Too easy. I worry.She really thinks her life is like the Palisades Fires, which killed, what, like 20 people?
God, I know You have more important matters on Your mind, but: Why do You allow this evil? The existence of Olivia Nuzzi's writing proves that God cannot both be all-good and all-powerful. Now back to "The Politician." Shit, even there she's aping Sex and the City, as Carrie only referred to her real estate millionaire fuck-buddy as "Mr. Big." I don't think they revealed his actual name.
I worry about evil. If it is a force, if it is like the Santa Ana winds, if it may come on suddenly, if it may grab hold, if it may depart but not completely, if it may leave word, if the word might sound good, if I might again believe it. The snake charmer, the man-eater, the devil himself. Was it ever a question, that where there was a cloak there would be a dagger? A friend told me once, "Never trust anyone wearing a lapel pin." This politician did not wear one of those. Midnight, 3,000 acres burning. A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself. People ask me now about anger. About my lack of it. How? How could I not be enraged? I think this over. I scan the terrain of my body. My chest, my spine, behind my belly button. I look for pale pulses of idle fury, waiting for the alarm to sound at the trip wire of my veins. There is nothing there. There is nothing there because I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand. You cannot live in America without thinking about guns, without thinking that one day you might not live anymore in America, and the reason will be a gun. 46,728 lives ended in America in 2023 because of a gun. 27,300 suicides. 17,927 homicides. 604 police shootings. 463 accidents. 434 undetermined. On the 405, a billboard announces that gun injuries are the number one cause of death for American children. You think: A gun will protect me from guns. Then you recall the statistic, that a gun in your home doubles your chances of dying by homicide. Still I loaded a gun. I loaded a gun and set it on my nightstand.
... Like all men but more so, he was a hunter. In a literal sense, he used not a bullet but a bird. It was not about a chase but about a puzzle of logic and skill that amounted to a test of his self-mastery. He was the mouse and the architect of his maze. The giver of his own pleasure and torment. He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself. I understood this just as I came to understand the range of his kinks and complexes and how they fit within what I thought I understood of his soul. The spark, the flame, the rumor fulfilled. The labyrinth on fire. The Palisades fire. 10:30 a.m., 10 acres burning. 10:50 a.m., 20 acres burning.What the fuck are you talking about, Madam, and would you mind stopping talking about it? She continues likening her out-of-control life to the California wildfires and then gets back to Mr. Big, I mean, The Politician.
A politician's greatest trick is to convince you that he is not one. And what is a politician? Any man who wants to be loved more than other men and through his pursuit reveals why he cannot love himself. It was the flag. When I close my eyes in search of the end or the start, the place at which before stopped and beyond which now began, that is what I see. The blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white, stretched and folded, pulled apart, undefined yet unmistakable, the flag. There was no one day, one moment, one event, one decision, one word that marked the change. There was the flag as it mutated from metaphorical to literal weapon, as it was marred by a corruption of the American character that could not be understood or even fully observed through the prism of the partisan binary. Which is to say that it was the flag, but it was not about the flag, not about notions of patriotism or nationalism or idolatry. It was the flag that thrashed in psychedelic distress, suggested a bend in lanes of reason, a tear in the fabric of consensus reality.Maybe she needs a Flag Metaphor Bagel, too. You see what I mean? This is just Carrie Bradshaw Does Politics. She's obsessing over a mundane physical thing, a flag, and attempting to babble about it until she accidentally uncovers the secrets of the universe.
She's talking about a flag, but, get this, she's really talking about Trump. Clever. And you know what they say about the failure state of clever.
In this period of now, from 2015 to 2025, in which the man through whom the culture was synthesized achieved dominance, I found myself fixated on the flag, on the way the flag expressed how the country was warping, and yet the magnitude of this change could not be categorized appropriately or cataloged completely amid such amnesia. At the southern border or the White House or the Midwestern auto factory or the boat in the Atlantic or the truck rolling beside the Pacific, the very flag that had been clutched like pearls at the turn of the century was refashioned as costume jewelry. Red, white, and blue asphyxiated blue, gray, and black. Stars and Stripes a backdrop for the star of the country. One stripe remade a banner across which his campaign slogan crawled.
... As the edited flags waved strange and ominous, my job was to bear witness to the processes of American presidential politics, to travel the country and attempt to understand those who sought or wielded or influenced executive power. I had never been interested in politics, exactly.Really? You don't say. I couldn't tell that you were not at all interested in politics from the way you were babbling about the outer perimeters of politics while trying to remain focused on what really matters, the worm in the Politician's brain. Here she continues babbling some nonsense vaguely about "politics." As she's already confessed, she's not interested in politics, but she's writing a book that purports to be about politics, and this is the best she can offer: fractured sense-impressions half-remembered from that time she took magic mushrooms while watching Abby Philip interviewing Brian Stelter.
Everything seemed suddenly flexible. With all information available at all times to all people, all matters appeared potentially negotiable. Fine fractures splintered deep, fanned out far, cracked up for good. The parties were over. The system was moot. Vast interconnectedness and mass overstimulation gave way to individual isolation and nihilistic boredom so total that it all but invited the ascendant mob-mentality politics of comic relief and sadistic catharsis. Our more flammable world. Arson, the national pastime. Self-immolation, well.Just like everything is Bagels with Carrie Bradshaw, so with Olivia Nuzzi everything is fire.
... Events lost context. Words lost meaning. Denier. Nothing could be believed because everything was subject to change. Truther. Everything could be believed because anything was possible; this was at once inspirational slogan and active threat.Psst: She's still babbling about Trump, in case you fell asleep six vague paragraphs ago.
This is her very overwrought way of saying, "RFKJr. asked me to lie about the sexting affair for him and I was hurt that we would ask that." But it sounds so mundane when you say it that way. So instead we get a lot Jazz Odyssey riffing about hands going up skirts and flesh being torn by steel traps. Also, I'm pretty sure, we'll be hearing about The Fire That Is My Fabulous Life again shortly. And flags. Weaponized flags.
A promise was only a suggestion. A suggestion was only a joke, unless you were not moved to laugh; then the joke was on you. In this reality, reality ceased to feel real. Shots rang out. The story of the relationship had broken, the bullet metaphorical. My phone rang again. "I need you to take a bullet for me," the Politician said. "Please." New York closed in. City and magazine. New York I fled. I drove west. I did not feel alone now. Not yet. What I felt was that the country had snaked its hand up my skirt. What I felt was that I had been lanced by the teeth of a trap set by a man who could not let me go; that as I tried to free myself, the man for whom I worked had run off with the key to the padlock; that the contradiction in terms, the man I trusted most, the Politician, had walked by the scene whistling, and when he saw me there, a mob on the horizon moving closer, he reached out to me, not to lift me to my feet but to pin me down, to drive the teeth of the trap deeper into my flesh, to hike my skirt higher, to wave the mob over to look, to invite the country to lay its hands on me.
As Shakespeare observed: Brevity may be the soul of wit, but padding the hell out a few trivial incidents is the only way to extend an anecdote into book-length form.
In the news, the Politician offers a united front and a rewritten history. My vow of silence does not feel like enough. I wish to fall silent on myself too. I wish to sink into the sea. To flee behind the curve of the earth. To emerge a new shape, a stranger. To stop giving fake names in coffee shops. To never see myself, the character of myself imagined by others, viral allegory of hubris, female avatar of Icarus, stripped and left for dead in a pool of wax. I do not wish to be understood, which no one seems to understand.
Birds of prey circle. It is inconceivable, it seems, that someone would choose to allow a crisis to go to waste, would not want to make of their attention more attention, would not want to reap some kind of short-term profit from the mess of their life. The paparazzi, the calculating ones, write to tell me where their colleagues are staking me out. New York. Washington. Outside my brother's house, where they get into an altercation with a neighbor. Never anywhere I am. They think that if they do me this favor, I will cut a deal and agree to be photographed by them in exchange for what they advertise as control over my image. My Image, a ship that has sailed and sunk. The offer includes a promise that doubles as a threat: If I accept their terms, I will be left alone the rest of the time, which means that if I do not accept their terms, I will not be left alone.Let me put that more directly: Reporters are calling her asking for comment on the sexting affair. She doesn't want to answer. The fire burns.
... I am talking, of course, about how it happened between me and the Politician. I am talking, of course, about how it happened between the country and the president. I cannot talk about one without the other.Trump had its way with America like RFKJr. had his way with her? What? A long time ago I listed to a podcast by the We Hate Movies guys about the Steven King movie Dreamcatcher. A joke they kept making was that Steven King was in his coke phase -- meaning, "his entire career" -- in which he never edited, revised, or trimmed anything he wrote. Everything just came right out of his head, unpolished, straight to the page and then straight to typeset and publication. "Clickety-clack," they kept saying, to simulate the sound of Steven King's never-pausing typewriter vomiting up words. Olivia Nuzzi is a clickety-clack "writer" herself. Is my life like fire? Clickety-clack. Maybe it's like a bear trap tearing into my ankle? Clickety-clack. Maybe Trump's seduction of America is like RFKJr. seducing me? Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack, we're contractually obligated to deliver 80,000 words to the publisher by next Tuesday and we absolutely cannot afford the time needed to evaluate whether any of this makes sense and we definitely cannot afford to start cutting words. We have to just add words, and add words, and add more words, whether they make sense when arranged next to each other or not. Clickety-clack.
In the discourse someone I have met before jokes about my murder. Others contact me to warn me that such a thing is not a joke but a possibility. I was not going to sleep anyhow.Spoiler: She was not murdered.
People often, often people I do not know very well, reach out to tell me that I have appeared in their dreams. I wonder if this is because I sleep so little.Clickety-clack.
If the version of me who lives on the plane of dreams tires of waiting for me to release her to action, if she goes out searching for places where she may exist without my permission, if she identifies the minds of those who have felt any kindness toward me, if she thinks that within their dreams she might get to live freely instead. I wonder, too, if this is a function of being a visible face but a veiled personality. If my impression contains empty space that renders me an adaptable idea and thus a useful device for subconscious minds. It is nice to think of this, that I might still be in some way, to someone, of use.Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack. Remember, she's not interest in politics. That's why we're now Eight Deep into an extended narcissistic fantasy about her appearing in other people's dreams.
Shorter version: "My life felt unreal to me." But you're not going to hit 80,000 words with sentences like "My life felt unreal to me." Clickety-clack.
I mean to tell you as best I can what it was to face the unrealness, to stand so close that it seemed at times almost plausible, to tiptoe along the edge of the abyss, and to balance there just long enough to forget that the plates would soon shift.
I mean to tell you of the canyon where voices carried. The place where monsters spoke to me. Where I listened. Where I found that, as fortune or curse would have it, I knew the language of monsters....Because I care about you, I'm going to do what Little Miss Clickety-Clack will not do and edit this and end this fresh prologned digression about nothing. But she continues babbling about monsters and canyons. No I lied, I'm including it. You've all been disappointing me recently and this is what you get.
Okay but I will show mercy and cut it there.
I mean to tell you that, as it relates to monsters, little can be assured beyond their ceaseless want. That you feed the monster, and the monster wants only more. That here you have surrendered to the endless transaction, and through the terms on which you meet the monster you are transformed monstrous, too, for the day that the monster is done wanting is the day that the sun does not rise; want makes the monster as sun makes the day.
I mean to tell you that this is more meaningful and more meaningless than you might think.As to the latter: I'm sold, baby.
... The flag winked beside the lanes that bent to borders that faded to barriers that fell to the lines I crossed.Back to this metaphor which stands for nothing at all.
.. When I open my eyes I see, still, the blur of colors, the flash of red, of blue, of white. I mean to tell you now as best I can.
Not everyone can write like Olivia Nuzzi.

Her writing is long-form Vogon prose, which would drive even them mad.
It is unhinged stream-of-consciousness that doesn't even bother with theme or coherence.
A mind reader, able to stand at a New York intersection listening to the simultaneous mumblings of 10,000 souls at a time, would struggle to decipher her writing and would retreat to the relative sanity of the crowded city.

Robert Garza, a cybersecurity analyst for the company, was meeting at a restaurant with Martin Bally, one of Campbell’s vice presidents, to discuss his salary.
He secretly recorded statements made by the VP and chief information security officer during a November 2024 meeting. In a rant that lasted over an hour, here are some of the things captured on the recording.
Local 4 News in Detroit broadcast portions of the recording. In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying,
--“We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**‘s in it.”
--He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

That fits with what I have found as a 29-year-old, that it gets harder and harder to meet and connect with people, since experience makes it clearer and clearer that it's unlikely to be worth it. There's a natural human tendency to be *worse* to people the closer they are, as if testing it, so you're likely to be treated better by them by remaining a mere acquaintance.
This ties in with the brilliant He-Man PSA meme that I have quoted before, "There are two kinds of people: avoid them both. Until next time, friends!" Some are charismatic jerks who will treat you shabbily because they're accustomed to getting away with it, and others are nice by habit because they're boring and accustomed to getting tossed at the first meanness. Then there's the worst of both worlds: middling people who are nice until you start to be their friend, at which point they start being jerks, as if in relief to finally (they think) be able to get away with it. Best to avoid both.

Leftwing Propaganda Media Declares DOGE Dead
Reuters is claiming that DOGE is dead.
They claimed disco was dead, too. But it still lives on in garrett's heart. Matt Margolis reports on Reuters cutting and splicing an official's comments to make it sound like he's urging J6 protesters to burn down the Capitol. Wait, that's what they did to Trump on J6. I mean, they edited his comments to make it sound like he's saying DOGE is dead, when that isn't what he said at all.The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was launched with a bold mission: cut the fat out of the federal government and save taxpayer money. The left hates DOGE and everything about it. So, you can imagine how thrilled Democrats were when Reuters reported on Monday that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore.The media pounced on this narrative, declaring DOGE dead, the usual suspects drooling over their keyboards to write misleading headlines, delivering eulogies declaring DOGE a failure. But, DOGE isn't dead. In fact, the article claiming that DOGE doesn't exist anymore was actually true. Kupor's full comments were spliced. Here's how the article actually read:
U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate, ending an initiative launched with fanfare as a symbol of Trump's pledge to slash the government's size but which critics say delivered few measurable savings. " That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status.Kupor went on X and blasted Reuters for splicing his comments, clarifying that DOGE as a formal agency might be no more, and that its leadership has shifted under the U.S. Digital Service; the mission itself isn't dead.
"That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about DOGE's status. It is no longer a "centralized entity," Kupor added, in the first public comments from the Trump administration on the end of DOGE.Scott Kupor
@skupor Good editing by @reuters - spliced my full comments across paragraphs 2/3 to create a grabbing headline 🙂 The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under @USDS. But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc. DOGE catalyzed these changes; the agencies along with @USOPM and @WHOMB will institutionalize them!
John Loftus writes that DOGE, whether technically dead or not, largely failed in its mission.
Unfortunately, Elon Musk wasn't able to deliver on the $2 trillion in savings, then cut to $1 trillion, he promised. (And this sparked his earlier feud with Trump.)
I don't think this country will be serious about cutting spending until forced to at the end of a bankruptcy/default gun.
DOGE pledged to save the American taxpayers $1 trillion, but they have fallen well short of that goal, even according to their own accounting. As of Monday, DOGE's website claims the department had secured $214 billion in savings, equivalent to $1,329.19 per taxpayer, through a combination of "asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions." ... All of these discrepancies suggest that DOGE has, in some cases, overstated the savings it achieved. A CBS News analysis published in August found that some cuts were overstated by as much as 97 percent. DOGE secured minor victories, saved taxpayers a tiny chunk of change, and brought government waste, usually a dry topic, into the spotlight for several news cycles over the course of the year. But the fact remains that the Pentagon budget is still grossly high, with the Trump administration proposing a $1 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2026. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is estimated to increase deficits by $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years. The United States is $38 trillion in debt and counting. And DOGE's $214 billion in savings, whether that figure is even accurate or not, amounts to a drop of water in an ocean. In a sense, DOGE was successful insofar as it was a marketing tool to placate fiscal conservatives. It made for good headlines, and it made it seem like the administration was draining the Swamp for real this time. But it is still business as usual in the morass of D.C., which means more deficit spending, an unaccountable military-industrial complex and a Pentagon that has failed seven straight audits.

Not even then. The government will never -- not ever -- cut spending in an significant way because nobody wants spending cut. Sure, in theory you'll find wide support for cutting budgets. But not our budgets. Someone else's budgets. Never ours.

For example, somebody somewhere knows the amount the "average taxpayer" sends the Feds every year. So to demonstrate the true costs of a program, equate that to how many taxpayers it takes to fund the program. Pointing out that every SNAP recipient receives the entire tax paid in by 1.5 Federal Taxpayers (as a made up number to illustrate the point) might make the loosey-goosey nature of just throwing taxpayer money at problems.

That maths out to 161,000,308 taxpayers. In 2024 there were 161,052,672 individual income tax filings. So on the surface this seems roughly accurate, assuming the $214 billion number is right.

When musk would talk about all these people over 120 years old that had active Social Security numbers, did that mean checks were actually going to these fake people? He never answered that.
Also, I think Trump told Musk to stand down because I don’t think he liked all of these layoffs happening on his watch

I don't want to hear a single damned fool blame Boomers for this. In 2000, the Debt Outstanding was $5.7T its now $39T.
Both the mean and median age in the House is just under 58 years old, which means the majority of those voting for two-three trillion dollars more debt each year are NOT Boomers.
Millennials are pretty much split R vs D in the House.
The fact that Congress totally rejected any and all of DOGE advisements and barely managed token cuts in programs the GOP has promised to cut for decades (but never did), confirms to the world that DOGE's real contribution was giving the Secretaries direction to make cuts, providing rage bait for many, and giving opportunity for District Tyrants to act as a federal HR department.

A lot of those are 1040s so if they're traditional employees taxes will have been withheld. There were loads of refunds - 117.6M to individuals - and 15-20% of which included child tax credits and EITCs. A lot of the non-credit-related refunds were likely from overwithholding. As to how many filers ended up as net taxpayers is a whole other ball game. Trust me I'm not carrying their water, but the number is probably roughly accurate on the surface.

Isn't that a huge improvement? Way back in Bush days Obama blamed Bush for increasing the deficit from $5T to $9T, then Obama proceeded to double that rate of increase. So now we are at $38T, and increase of $29T since 2009. Call it $2T/year ... so $3.4T over ten years sounds awesome. (or am I missing something? heh)

You realize that God is also the head of FAFO and the OT is rife with colorful illustrations of wiped out civilizations and nations due to the haughtiness and sin of the people and their leadership and God sending various forms of judgement.
My favorite passages involve Ahab and the prophet Machaia where the LORD of heaven granted permission to a Spirit to put a "lying spirit" in all of the King's counselors.
Our government is full to the rafters in liars and those totally given over to demonic spirits.

And obviously, when I do the whole scratch thing (which is a holiday/weekend vs weeknight thing), ummm, I rarely follow online recipes b/c they like to recreate "more crust, less filling" and less fruit that I like...

--- buy commercial pie and a can of pie filling for that pie.
--- top off the pie with your canned fillings, add other flavors if needed.

It should be about 3 million total now, with net in-migration being almost 0 (legal immigration continues, but overall visa issuance is down).
It's my understanding that it's mostly centered in CA and TX.
And most of that is pre-OBBB ICE, the bill of which secured funding through 2028 at elevated levels for the agency.
Biden let in about 4 million a year. It looks like Trump will be getting rid of about 4 million in the first year (once we hit January 20, 2026). And things should accelerate, no matter what happens to control of Congress.

However, there's a flip side to this.
There isn't much of a constituency for keeping individual spending elements either. Cutting $20 billion that benefits 50 people will have a constituency of 50 people against it, who will fight very hard to keep it. But, if the cutting happens anyway, no one but those 50 give a shit.

Green Bean Casserole
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed, ends trimmed, and halved
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 and 1/4 cups half-and-half
Golden Farms Crispy Onions
Preheat oven to 450. Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tbs of salt. Boil 5 minutes, drain and dump into ice water.
For the
Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a large 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to release some moisture-about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir until combined. The flour will soak up all the moisture. Add the broth and simmer for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Stirring occasionally, cook until the mixture is thick-about 10 minutes or maybe more if you prefer a thicker sauce.

I was hoping the 40+ day government shutdown would illustrate that point. All those days and the only concerns noted were law enforcement agencies, the military, social security, and SNAP and its copycats. What would our government spending look like if we kept all of those programs at the current level and cut everything else by half? Or cut everything else by two-thirds?

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Add chicken or vegetable stock to a medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium high heat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and flour until flour is dissolved.
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the boiling broth and whisk to completely combine.
Stir in the mushrooms and spices.
Reduce the heat to medium and let it come to low boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until thickened.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days if not using right away
Be sure to dilute it with chicken or vegetable broth if you'd like to eat it as a soup as this is condensed.

I have grown to like pumpkin pie...but the best pumpkin pie is pumpkin pie ice cream pie - a pint of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream swirled with real caramel and 1/3-1/2 the can of pumpkin pie mix and dropped in a graham cracker crust and frozen. To serve, let sit at room temp 10 minutes, slice and plate with a zig zag drizzle of caramel and a Cheesecake Factory dollop of real whipped cream. Serve with decaf coffee. People fawned over this dessert when I could make and eat it...and it takes 5 minutes.
Now, I have to dairy free it, so it's still very good, but not the ambrosia it used to be...

Deportation effects are going to be lumpy. California has embedded a whole long term class of illegals sucking at the public teat, voting, and doing other shit not permitted in other states.
So, one will see more immediate effects in places where illegals are not a very large percentage of the population and ICE can work without local and state government interference. And without interference from the local population of legals that simp for illegals by doing shit like ramming ICE vehicles etc.

I'd enjoy a topic like that. The problem with most sports movies is that the director too often didn't play sports at a serious or even semi-serious level, and thus doesn't know how to stage the sports scenes. So you end up with two grown up men in awesome shape throwing a baseball back and forth to each other....5 feet apart...naturally (?!)...because afterall we have to film the DIALOGUE! Its ludicrous, because 10 year old boys don't play catch 5 feet apart for more than a single throw--they're at 50 feet in a matter of 60 seconds!

Trump Moves to Designate Some Chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood As Terrorist Organizations
As I've mentioned several times: Obama literally had the Muslim Brotherhood in the room as the US military formulated its terrorist-identification policies. They got a veto as to whether intelligence officers could treat certain beliefs as cause to suspect someone as terrorists.
Trump isn't Obama.President Trump on Monday called for the U.S. to weigh labeling some Middle Eastern affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups, taking aim at the controversial Islamist movement. In an executive order, the president directed his administration to consider whether to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan or elsewhere as foreign terrorist organizations. He gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 30 days to submit a report, and 45 days after that to take action. The order claimed the three countries' Muslim Brotherhood affiliates "engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns." It accused the military wing of the Muslim Brotherhood's Lebanese chapter of helping launch rockets at Israel after the terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, and alleged a leader of the Egyptian chapter "encouraged violent attacks against U.S. partners" after the attack. The White House also said members of the Jordanian chapter have "long provided material support to the militant wing of Hamas," itself a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot and a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. If the groups are designated as foreign terrorist organizations, it would become illegal under U.S. law to knowingly provide funding or other material support to them. The designation can also lead to travel bans against members or the freezing of funds held in U.S. banks.Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization last week -- and CAIR, too.
... Some Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt and elsewhere have renounced violence. But the group has long been controversial, with critics -- including U.S. allies -- saying some affiliated groups have engaged in violence or espoused extremist views. Egypt's military government formally banned the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013, and Jordan banned the group earlier this year.
Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim civil rights group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as "foreign terrorist" and "transnational criminal" organizations. Why it matters: The designation authorizes "heightened enforcement" against both organizations and their affiliates and bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas, according to Abbott's office. It also authorizes Attorney General Ken Paxton to sue the organizations to shut them down, Abbott said on X. Driving the news: In a proclamation, Abbott accused the Muslim Brotherhood of "engaging in terrorism or attempting to destabilize countries" and calls CAIR its "successor organization." The order invokes the Texas Penal Code and Property Code, which allow the governor to classify organizations that "threaten the security of this state." The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is a transnational Islamist group with offshoots including Hamas.

@AmyMek 🟥 WARNING - THIS IS HOW WE LOSE AMERICA CAIR Now Has a Muslim Super PAC to Capture U.S. Elections Using Mosques as the engine -- and they have already begun. CAIR Leader Nihad Awad can be seen in EPIC Mosque in Texas, teaching Muslims how to use tax-exempt mosques, a CAIR c4, and a new Muslim SUPER PAC to make or break elections.... This is the exact weapon needed to install candidates like Zohran Mamdani across America, to which their Super PAC donated! He openly instructs them to: -- Use the MOSQUE (tax-deductible) to build the voter bloc
-- Use the CAIR C4 to lobby, draft, and fight laws -- Use PACs to fund candidates
-- Use the SUPER PAC for unlimited money to flip races His words, not mine: "These are the organizations that make or break races... There is a Muslim Super PAC today." So instead of being banned over its documented terror-tie history, CAIR now sits on top of the machinery used to make or break elections. This is the missing piece -- the power key. While CAIR preaches takeover plans from pulpits and trains 100,000 future operatives... 📌 This is not influence -- it is an organized political seizure project running off tax-exempt religious infrastructure.
It would be gratifying to see a more direct and absolute designation of the entire Muslim Brotherhood as an FTO, but the world doesn’t work that way.

BUT I understand the necessity of it - Trump has worked hard to establish good diplomatic relations with both of those countries, and even if you hate them and can read chapter and verse on how devious and untrustworthy they are, they still are both very powerful in the Middle East and have to be on board for any complex negotiations to succeed. That's just one of those hard real-politik facts, and another is that means you can't go and hit anyone inside their borders that they're giving protection to, no matter how much you hate them.
So it's a moot point as to whether he sanction MB members inside those two countries, we can't touch them there. That's ok, that leaves the rest of the world where we can do whatever we want to them. The quid pro quo is that if we leave Turkey and Qatar alone inside their borders, they won't give us any grief about what we do outside their borders.

Yummy. My family hates it though.
Supposedly it was leaked that a bigwig in campbell's called all of their soups trash? And their customers poor trash? Luckily making your own homemade cream of mushroom soup is easy, and tastier!
Chicken stock, cream cheese and sour cream, diced mushrooms, herbs. So good.
Between the Weapons movie making campbell's soup queasy and ominous for me, and that news... if it's true I'm done. I can make all my fave Campbell soups at home, cheaper and more flavorful and healthier.

Hell, even 20 years ago. I used to get into it with them on campus at UCD - especially during their "Truth About the Prophet" drives. Nasty confrontations. These guys were organized by Jamaat e Islami, they had members in the Jamaat al-Fuqra chapter in their Collegiate Peaks training camp... it was basically a terrorist cell with a student group attached to it.

Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point. Everything is now a terrorist group except White Christians.
When are we going to designate Israel as a terrorist ethnic colony? And designate the US as a terror supporting state?
Trump winded and dined with a member of Al Qaeda and then the leader of the country who financed Al Qaeda just this month.
I wouldn’t call it a terrorist organizations, but unpopular with dictatorships. They are seen as a threat to current power structures, especially the Egyptian government. On paper, they renounced violence in the 1970s, but some still accuse it of being violent
They are the Muslim republicans, basically using Islam to move the masses in a political fashion. not terrorists but the governments in GCC are intimidated by them. People will choose Muslim political affiliation over the secularism we have now in GCC (also Turkey).

I've seen articles saying a lot of people are walking away from Islam. Might be wish casting, but people get a taste of Western culture , wiping your ass with your left hand doesn't seem like such a fmgreat idea

==============
Many Muslims let go of religious restrictions the minute they hit Western soil, but when some tribal call goes out, they obey. I knew people like this. They would vote to install Sharia law in their city in a heartbeat, with no intention whatsoever of living by it themselves. Just something to inflict on people who burn Qurans or drop bacon in a mosque parking lot.

It's a little more work (which I realize negates 90% of the reason for its existence) but you can make it with fresh green beans. Just steam them to firm but not crunchy before mixing in.
And mushroom soup?!
OK, I have no good substitute for that. I mean, I'm sure it's possible to make from scratch but who would bother with that?

Canned creamed corn: adds moisture so your corn casserole isn’t dry.
Canned whole kernel corn: make sure to drain the corn before adding to the mixture.
Sour cream: adds a creamy texture.
Butter: adds richness and structure.
Eggs: binds the mixture together to form the casserole.

The plane is trivial. Qatar is the backdoor channel to almost every government and movement in the Middle East, so if anyone is trying to do anything diplomatically, you have to deal with them. Of course they are not trustworthy; but neither are they radical muslims either. Most westerners appear not to understand them, although I believe Trump does.

Maybe. But he hasn't said that.
I'm not really a pro-Tucker guy. I've found him to be a drip since his bow-tie days. And I regard nearly all the "journalists" and commentators as grifters.
But the Tucker coverage is becoming grating. Because there's usually a layer of interpretation or exaggeration that one has to sort through. "Well, what Tucker really means is ..."
If what he is saying is on its face objectionable, then reporting exactly what he says should suffice to damn him.
And if despising the GOP and thinking it unworthy of support is a great vice, it's one shared by a significant number of Trump voters (who almost certainly will not be there in 202

You may find it hard to build a coalition if you move to destroy everyone who disagrees with you. Simply stomping your feet and shouting that it is your party, you like it this way, and you will not accept any changes, will get you few converts, and unfortunately in this system you need voters, not simply deeming that you are right.
I mean, until we get two more Dem administrations. 8-12 years furthering Biden-Obama's reign will make that an option. At least for designated successors

What we're talking about today are the plain simple words straight out of Tucker's mouth.
Here's another one to chew on - in a recent podcast, Tucker said he viewed Feudalism as the best form of government by far, and longed for us all to get back to it. I'm not kidding, he did. I'm sure this has nothing with him having been born into the second richest family in America.

Get fresh green beans, gresh mushrooms (at least 2 types) and fresh onions. Prep them all (with mushrooms and onions diced) and toss on a sheet pan in the quantities you like (my fam loves mushroom and onion, so we're 1/3, 1/3, 1/3)...toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes at 350...more time if you make more of it. Once the bake is almost done to your liking, pull it out and toss a layer of fried onions on top and toast 5-10 more minutes.
Be wildly happy with a healthier and tastier Thanksgiving dish that gives you TEXTURE and still all the fried onions you want. Thank me later.
Also is easy for leftover storage.

but still, it's good to push the Rs on important issues as much as we possibly can! they definitely need the pushing.

You can also probably precook the veg early in the day and then bake 10 minutes with the fried onion to rewarm it up. I've done that with a few veg, and it should work with this one.

People mock the UK and Europe overall as if things are much better here in the United States. Had Elon Musk not bought Twitter and created X, we'd be under a Kamala Harris Administration right now and headed down the path of Europe.
As it is, we're still headed down that path, just slower, since the 2024 election of President Trump has delayed the fall.
But the nation's institutions are still captured by the Left, the Deep State still infects the government at every level, the Left still controls the media, social media, Hollywood and schools/universities and Islam is slowly conquering more and more areas of the country.
It is frightening to realize that were it not for Donald Trump in 2015 deciding to run for President, this country would be much closer to the tyrannical state of Europe.

GOP Worries About Midterms "Wipeout"
I think we're all a little worried.
That's a 5.4% lead. The Democrats had an 8% lead when they won the midterms in 2018. We're not there yet but we are getting there.
GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned over signs the 2026 midterm elections could be a wipeout for Republicans that could cost them control of the House and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats. Republican senators say the off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia and other parts of the country on Nov. 4 served as a wake-up call and warn that President Trump and Republican leaders in Congress need to address voters' concerns about the slowing economy and persistently high prices. Republicans acknowledge that rising health insurance premiums, the issue Democrats want to put front-and-center in the election year, along with health care costs, more generally, are a major problem for their party. There's growing anxiety in the Senate and House GOP conferences that Trump's sinking approval rating will create a headwind in swing states and districts. But GOP lawmakers say they still have time to improve their party's image before next November. They argue Democrats' failure to come up with effective solutions to rein in health care costs and the rising power of far-left Democratic candidates gives them a chance to cling onto power in Washington. "If we are where we are today in the beginning of the second quarter [of 2026], then I think we're in for a really rough time in November," warned retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who represents a Senate battleground state Democrats are targeting next year. "We have plenty of time to address it. There's a lot of positive things that we're doing here, that the administration is doing. But if you mess with health care ... if we don't get health care policy right, if we don't get some of the cost policies right, we're going to have major headwinds next year," he said. Most concerning for GOP lawmakers is Trump's approval rating, which has sunk to 41.9 percent in the most recent polling average compiled by Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). The president's disapproval rating has climbed to 55.7 percent. Another disquieting sign is that Democrats now have their biggest lead of the election cycle on the generic ballot for Congress. The latest DDHQ average shows Democrats beating Republicans 46.8 percent to 41.4 percent on the generic ballot.
One Republican senator who attended a recent GOP conference meeting at the National Republican Senatorial Committee headquarters said concerns about the approaching election year are "high." "The numbers are terrible," the lawmaker said. "Not necessarily for any individual incumbent senator, although some of them aren't very good. But you saw what happened a couple weeks ago [on Nov. 4]: Republicans didn't win anything anywhere."And the problem continues to be that Trump attracted a lot of blue collar voters who, unfortunately, are not likely voters and who also do not show up to vote for other Republicans. They like Trump, seeing him as a different kind of Republican who appeals to union hall Democrats, but they do not like other Republicans, and Trump has never been able to convince them to vote for other Republicans. I don't think he tries hard enough. I think he has to make the case, in a major national campaign, that it is absolutely necessary for Trump's personal political fortunes that he doesn't have a Congress controlled by "lunatic left-wing Democrats" impeaching him every five minutes like he did from 2019-2020. Below, Harry Enten discusses Trump's very high level of support in the GOP itself, but he's slipping with independents.

Welcome to the doldrums, the period of problems, the phase of foul-ups, the time of the sucking. And it does suck. Everything seems to be going wrong for Republicans right now. We were flying high a few weeks ago, when Donald Trump negotiated the end of the Gaza War, and then it was all downhill. Lost elections, economic uncertainty, Epstein file stupidity, fear that the conservative movement will tear itself apart over people who aren't even conservative, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's face all over our social media feeds. Yeah, it's bad. You're at the top one day, then the next day you're at the bottom. But we've been around the block before. We've done this a few times. Most of us reading this and watching what's going on have seen this story arc play out in the past. You start out strong, you go hard for a while, and then the problems pop up. That's the way of every human endeavor. Nothing is perfect, and the inevitable imperfections build up until they threaten to stop your progress and must be dealt with. It's particularly exaggerated in the case of Trump 2.0. Why? Because Trump 2.0 has been so massively successful. Go back just six months. It was win after win after win. We shut down the border. We took out Iran's nuclear program. DOGE was purging timeservers and non-hackers. We were kicking over the feed troughs at USAID and elsewhere. Freaking PBS was dead. Sure, there were obstacles, but the pinkos were not going to just give up their power politely merely because the voters rejected them. It was awesome. Yet, it is the comparison with those dizzying heights that makes the current depths look so much more bottomless. They're not. The conservative movement/MAGA/America First/Whatever You Call It is unlikely to crack up because Tucker Carlson has cracked up. The affordability crisis is unlikely to persist all the way to the next elections. And those elections are not necessarily going to be a massive defeat. But it sometimes seems like those things are inevitable because it's so miserable right now. ... The economy may remain stubbornly bad, or stubbornly perceived as bad, but we've been to this rodeo before. Ronald Reagan took a couple of years to turn things around, but when he did, there was an enormous boom. Donald Trump took a couple of years to turn things around during 1.0, but when he did, there was an enormous boom. Are you seeing a pattern of what happens when conservative policies are put in place? Sure, we have the tariffs wildcard, but we haven't seen tariffs driving up inflation the way we were promised by the critics. The inflation rate is down. That's undeniable, and it's beginning to manifest in certain products.For you Youngs, the analogue I'm looking at is also Reagan. Paul Volcker raised interest rates sky-high in the beginning of Reagan's term to end the very high inflation rate. The economy sunk into a very deep depression. Those who remember Reagan as presiding over a booming economy didn't live through 1981-82, when the economy was the worst it had been in decades -- and even worse than it was under Jimmy Carter. The feeling of depression resulted in a bunch of movies about the economy. Mr. Mom, for example, is about an auto worker laid off from the then-collapsing US auto industry. Anyway, Reagan got his bad news out of the way early, setting up one of the greatest economic expansions beginning in 1983. So I've been watching the economy looking for signs of a big turn. Trump had one in his first term. It was like magic -- Obama out, Trump in, and the economy started growing. But that's not happening now. Or, rather, yes, there is some improvement, but it's a subtle improvement that voters can ignore, and based on Trump's slipping approval, they seem to be ignoring it now. Reagan I and Trump I had big enough economic expansions that voters couldn't ignore it, and even when Reagan's 1984 opponent Walter Mondale tried to deny it, they rejected that denial as delusional. (Mondale ran ads asking rhetorically, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" His suggested answer was "No," but the country answered "Hell to the yeah we're better off" and delivered Reagan every single state in 1984. Supposedly Mondale won his home state of Minnesota but there have been credible allegations that that state was stolen and Reagan just didn't challenge it because he won the other 49 and could afford to be generous.) So I keep waiting for the Trump II turn. I keep hoping it will come in time for the midterms, but that seems like increasingly unlikely. It doesn't help, of course, that Fed Chair Powell is determined to tank the economy, because he's mad that Trump is putting tariffs on the foreign imports so beloved of the Capital Class and wants to prove to the country that tariffs are bad. So he's doing what he can to harm the economy so that people think the problem was the tariffs.

And GDP is growing at 4% or more.
While we deport shit tons of people, so many that we're actually going to lose population as a whole. (Mass deportation is deflationary...just like mass importation of a population is inflationary)
But, oh no...beef prices, driven by admin decisions 3 years ago to limit beef supplies. Panic, and feed the panic.
The economy is actually in good shape, but people want outright deflation. Which I would be fine with. But Trump says the goal is 1% inflation which, combined with wage growth, will be very healthy.

I was in a company-wide meeting with a high up exec and they had the typical stupid question and answer session after all the "GO TEAM" part. A guy asked about wage increases in light of the cost of living going up. And that mfer, in a room full of engineers, said well the rates are slowing down so that won't be needed.
You sob, do you even math? Integrate that curve and then come back to me.

This is 99% leftwing ops trying to demoralize us and push a few more GOP drip-dicks out of Congress. As I have said, I do have my worries about getting our people to the polls.
"Trump's sinking approval rating" -- bullshit, he's actually up a few points in the latest polls. Whenever you hear "Trump's sinking approval rating," you should guard your wallet. His rating has been "sinking" for so long he should be at zero by now.

The problem is that the media keeps pumping out stories about how the economy isn't good because we didn't add enough jobs to keep up with population growth (while we're actually losing population because deportations are so aggressive and multi-faceted).
So...people buy into it. People who shouldn't buy into it.

so in states like PA, we are improving in a LOT of areas (energy is a big one) but gas prices remain high due to our ridiculous gas tax (tied to inflation so it keeps going up). which informs a lot of other prices here. PLUS our insurance costs are sky high due to having quite a lot of illegales driving around drunk still.
this is a civil war - we are in it. private folks vs the govt class. they are fighting us, tooth and nail. they won't stop.

Beef, like egg prices in the final months of Biden's administration, were about Ag policy. Killing hundreds of millions of chickens drove up egg prices.
Limiting beef herds 3 years ago is driving up beef prices today.
And deflation fears stem from the Great Depression. Economists have been trained to do the opposite of everything that happened in the Great Depression from a monetary policy.

This can't be emphasized enough.
Powell is been bad-mouthing the economy and lying.
He's been promising and swearing inflation from tariffs will show up "soon" for 10 months now as his monthly excuse to not lower rates.
That's why they are so desperate to hold the Fed; can't afford Powell and Ms. Fraud out--he intends to stall and choke the economy as long as he can to deliver the House to the Dems.
Without those two cronies, the Fed cuts rates.
Massive amounts of capital currently sidelined as a risk-hedge will flood into the market.

This reminds me a bit about the situations with the Tories in the UK. The people there were tired of immigration and elected the tories to stop it.
When the tories refused to they turned around and voted for labor.
Now, the Republicans weren't elected specifically to deal with healthcare costs but...they haven't done much about it either.
And there are simple, simple reforms that could be done. Require proof of citizenship to get EMTALA coverage. Stop any federal funds for states that don't comply with ICE investigations - including of those on their welfare/free healthcare giveouts, and any states that refuse see their federal dollars shared instead with the other states. And on and on...

I love that people are both screaming for deflation and insisting on increasing the money availability. Easy interest rates a) cause a heat up of the business cycle b) ramp up inflation, c) take between 4 and six months to be felt, and D) wind up running through the big banks, then the big borrowers (hedge funds and the like) before it trickles down to the guys who want to finance a used car or a home. Rates are not a magic wand, they only affect the price of borrowing money and creating debt.
The calls I hear now, which I agree with, is that homes are too pricey for kids to start families or families to move out of the "starter home" but dropping the rate is going to first benefit the big borrowers who can get lower rates due to their size and will outbid Timmy and Suzy Newlywed every time, and they still will wind up paying the cost of the mortgage and the profit the leasing company demands to make up the dividends to the investors.

I have to protest this statement. People no longer store gold under their beds.
The problems with deflation are
- asset prices drop (and that pisses off the upper class)
- debtors suffer (and that pisses off anyone with a mortgage)
- wages don't drop (wages are sticky. high wages is bad for business)
and mostly,
- gov does not get its "vig" on printing new money to replaces deflated dollars. In fact, gov. is the biggest debtor so they suffer the most. Congress might have to cut back on sex slave junkets.
The only people deflation helps are savers. Fuck savers, this is America and our economy is built on debt.

Adolf Hitler Uunona, 59, is poised to win a second local election in the southwest African country of Namibia on Nov. 26, holding his seat in the north of the country after previously receiving 85% of the vote in 2020.
The member of the left-wing Swapo party previously spoke about his infamous name after coming to global attention following his win in the Ompundja constituency.
His father “probably didn’t understand what Adolf Hitler stood for. As a child, I saw it as a totally normal name,” the politician told German newspaper Bild in 2020.

Trump, like Obama before him, attracts low-propensity voters.
Democrats regularly did terribly with Obama as president in midterms because low-propensity voters simply don't turn out for midterms at the same level as high-propensity voters.
We essentially traded winning the presidency for winning midterms.
Changing low-propensity voters into high-propensity voters is a large issue because the behavior is mostly tied to education levels and has been for a long time.

Specifically I saw a video "If you have a job now, keep it. Nobody is getting hired."
I gotta say that my account balances haven't gone up. Sure my investment portfolio has, but my free cash is sitting at or even slightly below where it was when Trump took office. I'm not blue collar, both my wife and I are 6-figure earners with no kids. Just maintaining the same lifestyle as we previously had.
But anyone who says they're pissed at Trump for prices not coming DOWN doesn't know how inflation (and deflation) works. If prices were dropping that would indicate something REALLY bad going on... and we might be getting there. All of those make believe announcements of foreign investment aren't going to show up in peoples' paychecks any year soon....

Last week, a house sold that's almost 1,000 sq feet larger than ours, in the same neighborhood under the same HOA and everything, for about $20,000 less than what we bought ours for.
People don't want price decreases when they actually happen because the paper value of their assets also decrease.

Those union hall Democrats are certainly a big boost for Trump, since it pulls from the opponent's normal totals.
But I don't think it's as big a problem as people like me - former Reublicans who voted for Trump, but who won't vote for any GOP incumbent. I vote for him because I hate the rest of the Party, and I'm far from the only one.

In my area the prices declined slightly from their peaks but are still 50% or more then they were before Biden.
And it is killing people with property taxes. Yes your house is worth more when you sell it, but if you aren't a house flipper you go that in 10-20 years...

The problem is that they are defending the current political world as it is, much the way they fought the Tea Party and the way Wm F Buckley fought everyone to control what a conservative can be.
The current world is comfortable and they have boundaries, arrangements with the Dems and everyone knows where the next handout is coming from.
And if that means at times illegal aliens will be trucked in by the planeload, or unions and the children of politicians will be acting as bagmen for foreign dictators, well, the profits are there for everyone in the club and guarantees that the elites will be allowed to walk away when everyone else gets eaten.

I was able to read it once but I think they want you to pay for it now. It might be on bari wise's old the free press place.
I thought it was very insightful. People are poking holes at it, but is main thrust is that our view of the economy, what poverty means, and the relationship between income and well being is skewed. He starts off discussing the poverty line being linked to 3x monthly food costs and why that is completely broken now. With the cost of housing, day care and other things rocketing away from food costs. This is old news to people I think. He recalculates the poverty line up from current 30K to 150K. And a lot of people or harping on his methodology there and that he concentrates on families.
But the other part that is good is where he discusses the great penalties imposed in the 30K-150K range. You start earning above 30K and you make less money. It's a math function where people are being sorted into 150K.
If you can check it out I think it is a good read.

Actually, what affects things is self-starting behaviors. Something like 90-95% of all voting behavior is unaffected by GOTV, ads, and any other spending.
People just...choose to vote.
(whig sent me an research paper about this that I read, and it came to this conclusion, though the focus was on the relative effectiveness of campaign tactics)
It's not that the DNC is bussing people to vote. It's that Dem voters largely just choose to vote regularly. It's habit. So, we either wait for GOP low-propensity voters to develop the habit, or the RNC spends money to make it a habit.

You've got the answer, but it's really simple.
Inflation isn't high anymore. It is slightly elevated, but it's very close to the Fed's goal.
Prices are high. While inflation and prices are related, they are not the same.
Like you say, prices aren't likely to come down*. Trump needs to work on wages and make that his pitch. His first term was the first time blue-collar wages outpaced inflation in (IIRC) 40 years.
That's the hope he needs to tout.
*Except for places where prices were artificially raised by scarcity from government action: oil, beef, energy, etc...

Add to that the Democrat Part is utterly broken. It's become a joke to even its own members (looking at you Kartel Kid from Arizona). It's lost 2.1 million voters since 2020 with the Reps gaining 2.4 million nationally in that same time in the thirty states that track by voter ID. Dems lost in every single one of those states.
Bessent is prognosticating a significant economic turnaround come next year. I agree with that assessment. And it's going to happen because we avoided the alternative last November.

I was taught this in tenth grade US History, and I believed it blindly for decades until COVID forced me to question everything.
The first problem is that not many of our fellow citizens invest. About half are dependent on government handouts to survive. At least half the remainder live hand-to-mouth.
I heard sob stories in real life about GS-15s who are in dire financial peril because of the shutdown. These fuckers pull close to $200k/year plus gold-plated benefits around here. How can a few months wreck them?
The second problem is that inflation drives artificial demand for investing, and that artificial demand floods companies with excess capitalization that leads to waste, bubbles, and piss-poor management in general.

Many votes are fakes - they know who votes and who doesn't.
But making a big deal of a person and taking them to the polls can get them to go vote.
And...giving those drivers some "walking around money" will bring in yet more voters. No, you can't control who someone votes for, well, usually, but hand someone $20 and tell them there is another $20 after they vote D and they are probably going to as well...

This is just false. People will invest if the return on investment beats leaving it under the mattress.
The Fed insists on inflation because between bank lending and federal overspending, there's value being asserted that doesn't actually exist and it has to come out of the economy somewhere. With inflation it comes out of all of our pockets in the form of higher prices. With deflation it materializes in bad loans and bank failures, which aren't any worse to the economy than inflation is, but it hurts bankers and the overly wealthy people that the Fed cares about.
The goal for the Fed should be what it was when it was founded-stable currency, which means forced deflation when there has been inflation.

Trump 45's SnP 500 started at about 24 and went to 35.
Trump 47's SnP 500 started about 27 and now is a little over 30.
To the extent The Market reflects on The Economy, and the (apparent) dependence on Markets always going UP, this may not be the greatest indicator. I don't blame Trump so much, as the decades of easy money and profligate spending (and waste/fraud).
Tariffs are helpful/necessary, but there are so many headwinds due to (near) infinite debt.

Usually you'll do better paying 10 years of that mortgage and then selling to buy your next house, then you would renting for 10 years and save for a down payment.

To do that you have to somehow prevent the banks from loaning more than they have, in short get rid of the leverage that fractional reserve banking allows.
Something like banks issuing stablecoins backed by gold backed Treasuries, which under current consideration means that the banks can only issue the actual value of the treasuries they have in reserve, 100% backing.

Those elections don't have to be a massive defeat. All the Dems need is their 50%+1 and they will steamroll their past year of frustrations right through the government; they will undo everything Trump has accomplished to date, and they will prevent any more Trump accomplishments.
Hell, the Dems don't even need 50%+1. They will get their agenda in place with anything near 50%-4 because of the GOP turncoats.

Amen...deflation in housing prices would be a good thing for all but 65+ and planned housing sellers...the 1st, b/c they tend to have their taxes frozen, so all this property inflation never hurts them, it just gives them more assets at sale, and the 2nd b/c obviously you want to sell at a higher price.
Since 65+ aren't voting R anymore...at all...in great numbers...this would be a winning issue if somehow the sector deflated and not just leveled off...

The 2020 Congressional redraw combined with the mid-decade redraws is mostly having the effect of greatly limiting the number of on the cusp seats. More safe seats for both parties.
A Congressional swing of 40 seats is just not in the cards.
Dems may win the House next year, but it would probably be 5-10 seats, a minor win with a couple of dozen Dems in Trump won states facing a 2028 after a middling oppositional midterm. And the GOP will most likely keep the Senate (Collins should win ME again, and no, Cooper is not going to win NC).

We bought our house 2 years ago.
Last week, a house sold that's almost 1,000 sq feet larger than ours, in the same neighborhood under the same HOA and everything, for about $20,000 less than what we bought ours for.
--------
This is real, and an example of Powell being part of the problem. At the moment, sellers outnumber buyers nationally (individual markets may vary). A 6.125% interest rate may not be *objectively* "high", but were Powell out the rates would likely be mid-to-high 5s. And because too many people are aware that it will likely change (lower) in 6 months, we're going to have a very difficult time for sellers in the next 6 months. Too many people who might want a bigger backyard or an additional bedroom have convinced themselves they can wait a few more months.

Trump came into 2.0 with a plan to help blue-collar America: bring US jobs back from overseas. Everything that he's done domestically is to serve that purpose. Immediate depreciation on capital expenditures, tariffs to encourage domestic production, kicking illegals out of the country and discouraging new ones from coming in - all of it is to serve these purposes.
When Hawaii judges, Fed chairmen, Deep State holdouts, RINOs and Democrats fight against this, and the remaining House and Senate Republicans either don't fight back or rush to compromise with the enemy, it serves to set Trump's stated agenda backwards. If Rs keep up with this, they will pay the price. And deservedly so.

This is Krugman's argument against deflation and his reasoning of the Liquidity trap
I didn't believe it when Krugman used it.
The outcome is that houses will get cheaper, not that the house market will freeze solid.
I would ask instead if it is harder to get a home mortgage now than when I got mine in 2011

To be fair to them for just today, his health plan as planned for proposal yesterday was a disaster...it was a return to his 90s big spending self, when we just got rid of the subsidies...

this is true
actually a friend of mine posted the new application form - she is PISSED
she's also morbidly obese. her "disability" is not being able to walk good bc she weighs 300 pounds. she "failed" her gastric bypass.
anyway I loved the form! it was perfection. really good stuff.
the admin is doing everything it can, really. it's falling down on the visa thing, but if we keep the pressure on there they should eventually "get it."

No they aren't, and you're being unserious asserting so.
What happens *every single time* is the Republican Congress destroys the morale of voters by failing to do anything other than coast. Until they behave like elections matter, there's no reason for the rest of us to pretend they do.
Folks are currently enjoying that fantasy that the GOP 'won' the shutdown because more lefties are complaining about how it went than anyone else, but at the end of the day, all they did was continuing spending at levels the left achieved the last time they were in power.

It amazes me that there is a complete lack of urgency by the Supremes. The Power of the Congress can easily depend on a couple of cases THEY ALREADY HEARD, but just have not ruled on... and with election deadlines looming, and court cases being decided... it would be in the best interest of the Nation for them to get off their collective Asses and get the job done.
Because any ruling on Calif or Texas, will have to go back to court, based on what their ruling is... which won't happen before the election.

Or “trying” to pass big omnibus bills such as a self defense rights bill that is loaded up with everything and so guaranteed to gain enough opponents to fail. In every conservative issue there are 80/20 points that can be passed on their own. But republicans don’t bring those up on their own because they might pass.
Trump cannot convince his voters to vote for republicans. Only republicans can do that. Because they aren’t his voters. He is their candidate. Republican lawmakers must choose to be their candidate, too, if they want those votes.

This is Boomer Republicanism, and this is why the party is in dire dire straits. This "Government by Tom Clancy novels." is going to lead to an epic midterm wipeout. You're going to have Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House, and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez is going to be running the impeachment hearings.
People do not want to hear, as healthcare costs spike, that anything being done about it is "socialism!!!!!" and that the President is very very busy with peace in the Middle East. Donald Trump is doing the usual 2nd term POTUS thing and trying to notch a Big Foreign Policy Legacy. But that's not what he was elected to do, and it's not what energizes the Donald Trump voter.
The country, the American nation, is actually in really bad shape. I don't know that it can all be fixed in one term. But it certainly will not be fixed if the White House is focused on foreign policy. He was elected on a sweeping domestic agenda, he was not elected to bring peace to the Middle East or to Eastern Europe.

Under Questioning By, Surprisingly, the Leftwing Media, Democrats Admit They Can't Name Any Illegal Orders Trump Has Issued
Seditious Senator Mark Kelly, who's currently under investigation for a possible court martial for urging US troops to defy their Commander in Chief, ran to Rachel Maddow to whip up the hard left to support him.
Even there, though, he was forced to admit that Trump never issued an illegal order.MADDOW: "When you and your colleagues made that video, were there specific, potentially illegal orders that you were thinking about that were the sort of precipitating cause for you guys to get together and do that?" KELLY: "Here's the thing, Rachel. You don't want to wait for your kid to get hit by a car before you tell them to look both ways."So he's admitting he's urging troops to defy the Commander in Chief based on their own guess as to what is or is not an illegal order, and even threatening that a future Democrat president may imprison them for not defying Trump -- and this is all based on nothing except the always-present hypothetical possibility that an illegal order could, maybe, possibly be issued in the future.
AWFL and CIA C*nt Elissa Slotkin likewise admitted no illegal orders had been issued to ABC's cadaverous wallflower Martha Raddatz.
Elissa Slotkin ADMITS Democrats lied about President Trump issuing illegal orders to the military:
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) November 23, 2025
ABC: "Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?"
SLOTKIN: "To my knowledge I am not aware of things that are illegal." pic.twitter.com/63F8AHkK7E
J.D. Vance called the Democrats' demand that troops guess which orders are illegal and defy those orders they guess are illegal an illegal suggestion itself, because the military specifically forbids troops guessing whether orders or legal or not. The military only says troops may defy orders that are manifestly illegal, -- obviously illegal, on-its-face illegal, no question about it illegal -- not "possibly illegal" or "arguably illegal" or "Rachel Maddow told me it was illegal."
'Sedition'? Democrat bid to foment Trump resistance inside U.S. military draws blowback Democrats also made thinly-veiled threats that U.S. troops and spies will be in legal jeopardy if they don't defy such alleged orders.
Democrats released a video last Tuesday purporting to support U.S. service members and intelligence officers who would defy illegal orders, but some of those Democrats have also made thinly-veiled threats that U.S. troops and spies will be in legal jeopardy if they don't defy such alleged orders. The half dozen Democrats from the House and Senate -- five of them veterans of of the U.S. military and one a former CIA analyst -- released a video that argued that "you must refuse illegal orders" and professed to servicemembers that "we have your back." But a number of the Democrats in the video have strongly implied that troops who don't disobey orders that the Democrats believe to be illegal could face criminal prosecution, with the Democrats conjuring warnings tied to prior prosecutions of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, of U.S. Marines in the film A Few Good Men, of troops stationed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and of soldiers involved in the My Lai massacre in South Vietnam, implying current U.S. troops could face the same fate. The congressional Democrats were also not on the same page about whether the U.S. military was currently engaging in illegal activities, with some Democrats admitting that they were not sure if any current U.S. military actions were illegal, while others have previously said or are currently saying that U.S. troop deployments to American cities and U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug-running boats are illegal.
... The Democrats released a joint statement on Thursday saying, "What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our service members should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders." Secretary of the Department of War Pete Hegseth said on X on Monday that five of the six Democrats in the video don't fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of War and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) because "one is CIA and four are former military but not 'retired', so they are no longer subject to UCMJ" but that "Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ -- and he knows that." ... The video continued: "Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force -- your vigilance is critical, and know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up the ship!" The six Democratic congressional offices did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent to them by Just the News. A number of the Democrats in the video have suggested that U.S. troops could be prosecuted for following purportedly illegal orders issued by President Trump or Secretary Hegseth. As of publication time, none of the orders issued by either Trump or Hegseth have been declared "illegal" by any court or authoritative body of law. Houlahan told MSNBC on Saturday that the point of the video was to tell U.S. service members that "we've got your back." But this message was seemingly diluted by other Democrats in the video hinting at potential prosecutions. Slotkin appeared Sunday on ABC News' This Week talking about how U.S. service members can figure out whether an order is illegal, and the Democratic senator immediately brought up the Nuremberg trials against Nazi war criminals and the movie A Few Good Men where Marines are prosecuted at Guantánamo Bay. "I don't -- I mean, going back to Nuremberg, right, that 'well, they told me to do it, that's why I murdered people' is not an excuse. If you look at popular culture, like, you watch, you know, A Few Good Men, like we have plenty of examples since World War II, in Vietnam, where people were told to follow illegal orders, and they did it, and they were prosecuted for it," Slotkin said. "So, the best thing for people to do is go to their JAG [judge advocate general] officer, their local law enforcement, or a legal officer in their unit, and ask for some explanation, ask for help. And that's what we've been advising people to do."
If the president hasn't issued illegal orders, them members of Congress telling the military to defy the president is by definition illegal. https://t.co/Q5drUE6BLS

If anyone does not want this dickfaced homonculus prosecuted because of some technical wordsmithing when it was crystal clear exactly what they really meant and wanted, then maybe modern politics isn't for you. This ain't the 1990s. This is war.

Did the organizers of the Sedition-Six know there would be pointed questions aimed at them in these face to face "interviews?" Did they prep all six with the kind of deflections we are witnessing?
I think they did, and knew that the controversy would stretch it in the news cycle, to keep it visible to their base, and to that huge mass of AWFLs out there. It's a GOTV move. Everything they do for the next 11 months will be one form of Trump resistance or another.
Just like those special elections recently were a referendum on Trump, so will the mid-terms.

And the whole (actual) illegal order thing is obviously one of those band-aids a decent civil society has to put on insoluble problems. Obviously, illegal orders should not be followed. Obviously, it is difficult to imagine a situation where serving military have the means or ability to identify actually illegal orders. So the whole thing is a sort of gesture.

exactly. As long as they're more than 12 miles from the coast, it's international waters. Which in fact is something they use to their advantage when offloading; the drug boats rendezvous with some local fishing boat outside the 12 mile limit to take a part of the cargo, and the fishing boat looks like a hundred other local fishing boats when it gets home. Up until now they were home free.

While I did think some individual scenes were very good, the movie was an over-long, jumbled mess that made no sense. Even after piles of expository dialog, I still wasn't sure who was doing what and why. Almost nothing happened in the first hour and a half, and the last hour had nothing to do with the first.
And for $100M, you'd think they'd have hired a real cinematographer? Somebody thought it was a great idea to shoot a dark-skinned black cast in very low light, without ensuring any "key light" illuminated their faces.
The movie is also a rip-off of From Dusk Till Dawn.

It's been nothing but shit since. You could attribute some of that to Marvel-itis, but Sinners was his blank check movie. And it's...trash.

Most slop nowadays has a narrative attached to it. The mega-slop has "first Marvel movie to have a transgendered BIPOC cripple hero", though that never catches on with Normies. The generic slop (e.g. "Predator: Badlands") has "best movie in the franchise EVER!", and Normies buy that for a week or two. The surreptitious slop has the buzz of "Sinners", where people still talk about it months later. Give it a year or two and no one will remember it exists.

What about that time he deported a bunch of aliens on a military transport and a judge (Boesberg?) issued a tweet demanding the plane turn around and bring them back?
Sure, Trump did not personally order the flight, but close enough...

Prepping their defense. See... we said publicly that Trump had never issued an illegal order so we, obviously, weren't telling the military to disobey anything Trump has ordered.

I as a civilian can tell the troops to defy the President, and I have committed no crime for which I can be arrested. I would not do it under Trump, but I might have done it under Obama or Biden, especially if I thought they were threatening American Citizens.
If I was a member of the military under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ, this would be different. Civilians are not subject to that standard.

OK, I laughed at this, except for the cops who are having to endure being props in this.
I'm sure Miss Aftyn only published the footage prior to ~45sec and after a few seconds later on her social media, because that's where the setup becomes obvious. As the cops turn back to the office after taking her into the hallway, the guy she had on scene shooting video dismounts his camera to follow her, showing the mount on his tripod, and then also the still photographer she had on scene to capture her poignant moment of agony at the hands of Trump's fascist, manocratic police state.

Maybe I'm missing something but cannot recall in my lifetime or recent history prior a situation in which there was a widespread ongoing and active threat to fed law enforcement, with many actual attacks and foiled plots, with elected officials pumping enormous quantities of fuel onto the fire with outrageous incitement. Publicly. Ostentatiously.
Our system is mostly designed to take of such behavior via the ballot box, but that of course is academic with a dumbed-down, disconnected, ignorant electorate (controlling majorities). Black swans like Trump are just that.

It's been nothing but shit since. You could attribute some of that to Marvel-itis, but Sinners was his blank check movie. And it's...trash.
And yet you have people like Francis Ford Coppola calling it a masterpiece. I do not know what these people are smoking. Sinners is...not good. At all.

They did not. No matter how upset the video made you, they did not tell the troops to defy the President. You can look up the transcript. I don't even recall the word President being used.
Did they MEAN for someone to defy their orders? Yes. But they didn't SAY it. And, as has been pointed out previously, there's legal precedent saying that what they said was, in fact, protected speech.

Officers and enlisted take different oaths when they join the military. Enlisted swear to obey the orders of the officers appointed over them. Officers swear to truly and faithful discharge the duties of their office. And this means officers are responsible for know if the orders they give are legal or not. Enlisted are to trust their leadership in this unless the order is blatantly illegal and in violation of,say, the Geneva Concention.

"That Senators generally perform certain acts in their official capacity as Senators does not necessarily make all such acts legislative in nature Members of Congress are constantly in touch with the Executive Branch of the Government and with administrative agencies -- they may cajole, and exhort with respect to the administration of a federal statute -- but such conduct, though generally done, is not protected legislative activity. United States v. Johnson decided at least this much.
"No argument is made, nor do we think that it could be successfully contended, that the Speech or Debate Clause reaches conduct, such as was involved in the attempt to influence the Department of Justice (in this case Dept. of War), that is in no wise related to the due functioning of the legislative process."

Dems are desperate to not choose Kamala.
Except 60% of the Democrat primary electorate is going to be black women...her most loyal cohort.
The left assuming Kamala won't even run and then running through not-Kamalas as they argue about how everyone is better than Kamala and then becoming Kamala superfans again is going to be really fun to watch.

The last thing we need is a smoldering terrorism war (Putin doesn't really need that either if he wants to stay in charge). The Russians ain't got the troops to do what was done in the USSR and Warsaw Pact days for occupation and I guarantee that arms, etc will be entering from all sides to make occupation a misery and a massive threat into widening the war to include NATO members.
To some degree, Israel has the same problem, unless they run a war of extermination or somehow force the Palestinians to exit Gaza and/or the West Bank, they will simply bide their time until the next attempt. If Israel did either force Palis out of Gaza and the West Bank or try to exterminate them, then in turn, probably all the Arab states would be destabilized to the point of regime overthrows in some of those neighboring states.
Sometimes being stronger than the enemy is not enough 'win' strategically.

If it's still frozen, here's what you've got to do:
Leave it in the original wrapping.
Put it in your kitchen sink.
Fill the sink with cold water.
Then either change the water every 30 minutes, or leave cold water trickling.
You'll need to do this for 30 minutes per pound.
For a 20 pound bird, this will be 10 hours.

For almost 200 years, there was no such thing as a dual citizen in the US... until the Supreme Court over rode the clear Constitutional power of the Congress to regulate Citizenship and immigration issues.
Because the Founders never intended there to be any dual Citizens, the ONLY requirements they put in the Constitution for offices was you had to be a Citizen... but when the Supremes screwed that up, no one has ever bothered to address the issues when you have people of divided Loyalty, holding major Offices.
We need to fix that.

The law, when it's not being subverted by clown judges, is pretty well equipped to deal with technical equivocations.
And I think that applies here:
Yes, what they said was not, technically, illegal.
But they also knew exactly how it would be heard.
And that was their real intention--that it was to be heard, by the troops, as "Trump is issuing illegal orders and you must defy them."
Any other interpretation is nonsense and lies.
Prosecute them for that--their intention to incite.

Does everyone have their turkeys defrosted?
If it's still frozen, here's what you've got to do:
Leave it in the original wrapping.
Put it in your kitchen sink.
Fill the sink with cold water.
Then either change the water every 30 minutes, or leave cold water trickling.
You'll need to do this for 30 minutes per pound.
For a 20 pound bird, this will be 10 hours.
Get started right now if you haven't already!

Because black women are some of the super voters of the Democrat Party.
The winner of the SC primary doesn't just fade away. The winners of the Iowa caucuses can just fade away. The winners of NH can just fade away (although, they won't actually vote until like April because the NH party is being punished by the DNC for something).

One thing I didn't know was a few days prior to the famous Oradour sur Glane massacre, the SS hung 99 people in a nearby town. I knew such casual brutality happened in the East but I didn't it was also in France.

When you're talking about Law, language is important. No, they are NOT openly calling for a military coup - that sounds like "Hello Joint Chiefs, I want you to conduct a Military Coup at 9 AM tomorrow morning, and I will support you completely."
What they are doing is hinting in a wink wink, nudge nudge roundabout way that they might not mind if such a thing would happen. Which of course is reprehensible, but that's a political matter to be handled by political means, not a criminal matter.
I think the best way to address it would be for the President to do a prime time address to the nation from the Oval Office, stating what they had done, that they were doing it to support the cartels, and explaining what harm they were trying to accomplish by saying such a thing.

Sinners is just another vampire movie.
I rate it below Dracula 2000. Because that one at least had an interesting plot point.
Sinners abandoned the only interesting plot point for the DEI; that is, the Indians hunting the vampires.
That would have been a cool movie for that time period.

That, and the idea that the vamps were a hive mind. Kinda clever, but they did nothing with it. Instead, the movie spends an hour developing the twins' idiotic plan to spend a lot of money to open a nightclub ... in a dirt-poor community where most people don't even have real money.

Last Thanksgiving, step-brother-in-law showed a text pic of a doctor friend of his with his fryer setup in the kitchen. It was OK tho. He had cardboard boxes all over the floor under the fryer to catch any oil overboil..........
I told him he'd be reading about his friend in the paper tomorrow.

I always do my mashed potatoes in the instant pot and they are so easy. It's the one main dish I don't
Have to sweat over.
However... there are VERY strong opinions on stuffing in my house. So to please everyone we will be having two kinds of stuffing. Sigh. And I am hoping To make a cheesecake. First time trying it in the instant pot! (Though not at the same time as the mashed potatoes!)

You know this is bullshit.
They pushed every single name possible before they coalesced behind Biden. They could have cleared the deck in 2020 like they had with Hillary in 2016, and given Biden an easy victory instead of the apparatus backing, in turn, Kamala then Beto then Warren then Buttigieg before finally resigning and backing Biden.
What they did was use anything to attack Trump. "Biden could be the nominee, and Trump is attacking a potential rival."
The entire 2020 primary belies the idea that Biden was chosen from the beginning.

Fine.
"SISU: The Road to Vengeance" - a fun, whip-smart roller coaster ride of an action movie.
You don't need to see the first one to enjoy it.
BONUS: This time around he kills tons of Commies/
"Keeper" - I had high hope for this as I like what Osgood Perkins has been doing lately. And higher hopes 45-50 minutes in, buuuuuuut then it failed on the expolanation and lost me, a drag to the end.
TV Sh0ow:
"Last Samarai Standing" - very fun version of Squid Game (kinda) set in old Japan. Great action, great hero, well-done bad guys. It's streaming on Netflix. Check it out.

I stick by my story: Jarrett's faction wanted Harris, but she was pure poison, and then Gabbard knocked her out for good.
So they quickly cleared the field for their decrepit crony Biden, and just tacked her on, figuring they'd replace him shortly.
But she was a dumb drunk, and he was aggressively senile, and all his advisers were numbskulls, and then a Leftist shot Trump in the head, but he survived, and the whole scam fell to pieces.
It's like a Mel Brooks comedy if he were Satan.

One Old Soldier's Perspective [Diogenes]
So I take a bit of vacation for the Holiday and some congressional idiots shoot their mouths off in a video thinking they could replicate the BS that came from the “51 Intelligence Officers” memo. Bad move. I have listened to the video a couple of times and in typical political obfuscation, they tried to hide their message by stating what is obvious: “You members of the military do not have to obey illegal orders.” Well Duh! Every person who enlists in the military gets a class on the legality of orders in the first week, usually right after getting an arm full of shots. This is common knowledge among those who are serving and among those who have served. I am a veteran of three wars, two hot and one cold and in EVERY instance where I was taking my troops into harm's way, I made a point of verifying with my chain of command that this was a legitimate operation, and I passed that information to my soldiers. There was never any doubt in my chain of command.
But the Hill-dwellers video misses the mark in a horrible and vicious way. What it apparently seeks to do is create doubt and distrust among the members of the military towards both their Commander-in-Chief and against the officers appointed over them. Their comments were disloyal to America, the military, and dishonorable to the oaths they have supposedly taken to sit in the jobs they hold now.They have deliberately undermined the good order and discipline in the armed forces, all for political expediency. But is what they said illegal? I am no lawyer and already social and mainstream media are flooded with accusations and counter-accusations. There will be no surprise to the Horde what each side is thinking. I’ll leave it to the experts to decide just how serious this is, but where this crossed the line for me was including a direct reference to the current Administration. That, in my opinion, might not reach the level of sedition, but it certainly comes close to incitement of mutiny. MUTINY: As written in the UCMJ, “ Acting in concert with others, a service member refuses to obey orders…” But these congress-criters are not necessarily subject to UCMJ, but possibly can be prosecuted under “seditious libel” which targets anti-government speech. But the courts, probably rightly so vis-a-vis the 1st Amendment, are tough on this one. But the harm it has done now is to set up any Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman with a high speed trip to prison thinking they can do what their Senator or Representative has told them to do. As mentioned, it will be up to others to decide what is going to happen…probably not much…but I’d give a lot to be on the jury for even one of these assho…errr…distinguished members of the Congress. 20 years in a SuperMax would be the minimum. [Diogenes is a twenty year Army veteran and Military Intelligence Officer with an additional 20 years working in the Intelligence Community as a contractor and consultant. And he yells at kids to keep off his yard.]Comments

It's another thing to make a very public, splashy plea that "if you're a soldier, don't obey Donald Trump's illegal orders, and we're not specifying which orders are illegal because -- wink, wink --- Trump is Hitler and Adolph and KKK and the demons the KPop hunters are after." This would be illegal.

Sometimes it does. But it has to be something really egregious.

Guttersnipe Crotchrot libeled GOP members, but since she was on the House floor, nothing will happen. And she backtracked her comments with saying "a" in front of Epstein's name.
If the GOP had a backbone they'd push for (at a minimum) they be censored. A middle of the road punishment would be their removal from office. On the extreme end; hanged in a public square.
It would provide perspective for the rest of those shit heads if there was actual penalties for sedition.

I was instructed that the assumption unless it was prima facie evident that an order was absolutely immoral was that orders are legal, and it was made plain that ignoring orders would never be pleasant.
My OSUT class like many in the late 80s and early 90s was also polled on whether there was any situation that they would fire on unarmed American citizens, we answered past 90% like most classes that the answer was no.
By 1997 my wife was not asked that at Ft Jackson, nor was my son back in 2017.
The answer given the composition of the force and the miracles worked by the educrats would probably alarm people were they asked.

I normally brush it off when some naïf says "oh, these Democrats better watch out when they shit all over this or that law or norm, because when the Republicans blah blah blah..." The politicians and the state will never do anything about anything.
But the military are not the politicians, or the civilians. It's one of the largest, best trained fighting forces in the world, and if you succesfully disrupt the civilian chain of command, you are necessarily going to leave it the military itself to sort out who's actually in charge of things, and virtually nobody will like the outcome of that ugly process.

I believe this was all part of another CIA op not an off the cuff act by a few "patriots". As much as I'd like to see real punishment I don't even know if what they said was technically illegal. I'm more interested is strangling this thing early and stopping these endless intel ops. This seems like a good shot across the bow for starters.

And since our institutions are long since decoupled from any kind of input from the citizenry, we as individuals have zero agency in the things that happen between now and the disintegration of the regime.
It's best to just strap in, and try to live a life focused inwardly on your family, friends & faith. It's all that matters anymore. Not any of this *waves hand dismissively* horseshit. Some future generation will eventually rebuild from our rubble, so we need to raise them for that task.

The left has multiple operations they are running right now directly aimed at killing the last of America.
Each designed to stack on and feed off of the others to spread chaos and violence; each to lead to an attack on Trump:
1) This one, to incite mutiny, sedition and disloyalty among the enlisted ranks.
2) Using the Fed to scuttle the economy; interest rates kept high.
3) judicial insurrection via endless illegal orders, most issued in defiance of clear, direct and binding authority.
4) Over-seas agents provocateurs (exposed by X now) to sow dissent and confusion; to asto-turf and inflate contentious and extremist positions.
5) RINO and pretend-con congressional resignations and rumors of same.
Because the left knows that 2026 is their last chance in 40 years to take the House.
And without the House, they have no chance for the Presidency in 2028.
The left is going all-in.

But after spending around $450 million to build out the system, Cal OES halted the project last year due to “operational difficulties,” citing issues with the regional approach and stating it would pivot back toward the statewide approach.
The debacle, which comes on the heels of the state’s high-speed rail project that has similarly triggered criticism for facing sweeping delays and going billions of dollars over budget, has sparked concern from the California Fire Chiefs Association.

The point being in any case, the Allies notably did not allow “I was following orders” as a legal defense. Because, everything the Nazis did was legal under the laws. This is an important distinction.

What’s going on with our current day unpleasantness is people want to work for the government, but they think the Constitution and our laws are a kind of Smorgasbord. “Oh, I don’t like that law, I don’t like that regulation, that policy isn’t what I want.”
These twats have been infesting and infiltrating government since the “Clean for Gene” era if not earlier. You don’t have to like the President. You don’t have to like his policies. But he is the CINC.
Find another line of work, because government is not in your skill set.

The couple allegedly spent tens of thousands of the fraud money on luxury items for themselves.
"It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. The deliberation took probably four hours at most. Based off of the state's evidence that was presented, it was beyond a reasonable doubt," jury foreperson Ben Walfoort told KARE 11 News.

Despite the jury swiftly convicting Yusuf, Judge Sarah West last week decided that they got it wrong, overturning the verdict and issuing a judgment of acquittal.
Judge West said the state's cased relied "heavily on circumstantial evidence" and that the state did not "exclude other reasonable, rational inferences."

That comes from the fact that our Constitution, unlike almost any other nations, is specifically designed to limit the Government's power over its citizens, not to expand it. When it gets too strong we get more J6's. At least our system finally overturned that, although it took far too many years for it to happen.

Were the Dems following the rules when they arrested Trump for made-up felonies, to imprison him for life?
To prevent you from voting for him ever again?
Were the Dems following the rules when they tried, at least, twice to kill Trump?
This is the difference between crossing a frozen river at midnight to ambush your enemy while they're drunk celebrating and accepting their surrender at Yorktown--the time for rules is when they surrender.

I sincerely hope that Judge's ruling is quickly overturned, because what was stated there was the Jury's decision to make, not the Judge's. The State is not required to present all possible rational inferences, that is the job of the Defense. and it is the job of the Jury to decide.

Which in fact is what always ends up happening in societies that go through this - England wants to cut down a king, they end up with a Cromwell. France wants a legislature; they end up with a Napoleon. Augustus was actually a pretty good ruler; the problem wasn't Augustus, but the line of authority that replaced him once he was gone.
That's always been the path.

"Then Job replied to the Lord.
I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

Either no consequences for anyone anywhere, or the exact same consequences for everyone, everywhere. "No titles of nobility" must include not making Congress into nobility-in-all-but-name. No special privileges for Congress and other gov't types not directly granted in writing by the Constitution, and we need to amend the Constitution to tighten up that clause so that only "Speech and Debate" about _legislation_ counts, as was presumably intended.

The issues with Haiti are largely Haitians.
There is a certain level of geographical wealth potential, tourism desirability, and strategic value in location that with a better population would make it a better place.
The concept they are being attacked for was called "filibustering."

Yup, the systemic indifference properly understood is to a degree empowering. Part of why I get VERY nervous around believers of any faith that act as though they are engaged in contract negotiations with a force that created the universe. My mother-in-law's Church back in the early 90s had a preacher who invoked "Lord you promised(with the imputation that this was a demand for services" us in the covenants" like it was an HOA.
Yeah no thanks, I am humbled before Him not across a table from Him.

In 1968, he ran unsuccessfully against California State Senator Milton Marks, a popular Republican. Newsom was also corporate counsel and a board member for Trans-International Computer Investment Corporation (TCI), which handled classified government contracts, for which Newsom was issued a National Security Clearance. TCI went bankrupt in 1971 after what the Sacramento District Attorney called "the biggest stock fraud in California history". For most of 1969 and 1970, Newsom traveled across Europe alongside former SS security service member Otto von Bolschwing (specialized in the expropriation of Jewish property) who had been brought to the U.S. by the CIA under Operation Paperclip and appointed TCI's president by Getty due to his former Nazi intelligence connections and their value in obtaining defense technology contracts. Newsom referred to von Bolschwing as "suave", "plausible", and "world weary" (he was forced to surrender his American citizenship in 1981).

Bif was a warhead custodian, assigned with 17 other Army soldiers to a NATO German airforce nike hercules battery. He made the rank of sp5, and was selected to become a custodial warrant officer. Instead, the Army re-treaded Bif in the Patriot system, where he spent the next three years getting BOHICAed. If you watched cnn (i know), and scud/patriot engagements for Riyahd during the gulf war, you saw Bif in action. Bif exemplifies the the cw4 warrant officer attitude and unwillingness to play fair, but drew that skill down to the cw2 rank with a blatant fu to his chain of command from the bowling alley prior to resigning fro. The Army and doubling his salary in The MIC.

Soon after the death of his patron Pope Damasus I on 10 December 384, Jerome was forced to leave his position at Rome after an inquiry was brought up by the Roman clergy into allegations that he had an improper relationship with the widow Paula.

The Romans appeared to have had a much deeper respect for Greek culture than for Roman culture.
In Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea, Thomas Cahill wrote that “Contact with the impressive stories of Greek mythology and the thrilling art that accompanied them encouraged the Romans to dress up their own religion in Greek fashions. Their high God, Jupiter, they reinterpreted as a variant of Greek Zeus. Roman Venus was assigned the Greek stories about Aphrodite…”
I’d always thought it was the other way: that when the Romans conquered an area, they forced the conquered gods into Roman forms. If Cahill is right (he might not be; the book is not nearly as well written as his Irish book), it indicates an incredible degradation of Roman cultural strength.

42 – 100 AD The New Testament (There are almost 6000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, many are only fragments of the full text.)
For approximate dates of each New Testament book, read When Was the New Testament Written? For a list of biblical authors, read The Books of the Bible by Author.
405 AD Vulgate (Jerome of Stridon, at the request of Pope Damasus I, compiled and retranslated existing Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, and Greek manuscripts to create a Latin Bible.)

Certainly so. The Latins of various stripes worshipped primitive, numinous deities before outright cribbing the Greek gods and using them as the basis for their civic faith.
But it wasn't just religion. Far back into the Republican period, Romans paid steep prices for Greek slaves to tutor their children, and Greek language fluency was a prerequisite for public life - Latin-only speakers were considered backcountry hillbillies.
Romans were focused on indigenous intellectual pursuits to the extent that they served the higher purposes of war and agriculture, and looked toward Greece for high-minded stuff like art and poetry and philosophy.

Clyde Shelton,
You’re one of the few people here who understand the impact of h1bs. It’s not just a jobs thing it’s a culture thing too. Indians own tech and are colonizing all the tech hubs. As you posted Austin is turning into India. Large parts of Dallas are already there.
And not just tech. Consulting is another industry they’re slowly but surely taking over. Deloitte’s CEO is Indian. Good luck getting a job there as a white male.
Neither Trump nor the GOP see anything wrong with this.

That's why it is important to study Scripture, not just read it.
For example - do some digging on "no room at the inn" as it relates to the story of Christmas. Luke wasn't talking about a hotel!!! Also, thee is no direct reference to a stable/barn. Manger, yes - but not a stable.

Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi)
The Last Communion of Saint Jerome is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, finished around 1494–1495. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City. (Wikipedia, in part.)
I'm always astounded at the beauty within the body of works done by the great artists of so many centuries ago.

The Septuagint gets a deservedly bad rap for some of its translations, and although its translation from the Torah is good it's from a tweaked neoTorah like the Samaritans were using (and still use).

Dorothy and her crew represent the forces of laissez-faire classic liberalism (no connection to what is called "liberalism" today), defeating both the Stalinist/Maoist leftist personality cult of the Wicked Witch and the traditional society based on the notion of "nobility", represented by the fraudulent wizard.
It should be noted that in the original book, the magic slippers were silver (a metaphor for money), not ruby as in the film.
I suspect the change to ruby slippersbwas made just to show off their newfangled color photography.
I'm old enough to remember when television announcers would note at the beginning of the film that the Kansas scenes were in black and white while the Oz scenes were in color, just so people wouldn't think something was wrong with their sets.

The Morning Report — 11/25/25
A senior House Republican predicts that more "explosive early resignations are coming" after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) surprise announcement that she would leave Congress in January. . . It’s unknown which Republicans are currently pondering resignation, but a feeling that legislators' needs are being neglected by party leadership and an inability to pass legislation has led some to consider quitting, as they expect the GOP to lose its already slim majority in Congress.
Yeah, unnamed sources etc. etc., I get it. It could all be disinformatsiya to sow dissent and confusion, especially with the base in the coming year before a crucial midterm. And yet the GOP itself has been having an identity crisis ever since President Trump descended the golden Trump Tower escalator just over a decade ago now. Even before then, it was painfully evident that all the GOP was good for whenever they controlled the majority if not all three branches of government was being seat warmers for the Democrats and never daring to lift a finger to reverse one iota of their agenda let alone slam on the brakes and put the crazy train in reverse. Years of Continuing Resolutions and no budgets and nothing but platitudes about shrinking the government with maybe a minor window dressing of a tax cut here and there merely proves the GOP to be Grifting Oleaginous Parasites.
What Does The Republican Party Even Stand For? — Unlike Democrats, Republicans have no unified vision of what they view as success for the country — While Americans continue to grapple with high costs of living and an increasingly broken health care system — both products of reckless government intervention — your Republican House majority decided to expend what little “low t” energy it has on a useless resolution that basically says, “SOCIALISM IS BAD!”BINGO, that last sentence. The GOP is only there to preseve, protect and defend their place at the trough. MTG and whoever else can piss and moan about President Trump or whatever, but that they have essentially done nothing to actually legislate his agenda to make it the law of the land speaks volumes. Well, there's treason/insurrection and sedition and then there's Mark Kelly and his ilk essentialy egging on the military to rise up and overthrow the government
. . . But Friday’s vote was hardly the first do-nothing dog-and-pony show Republicans have put on for their constituents. For years, GOP politicos have graced the airwaves of Fox News and conservative media, telling voters what they want to hear about the issues of the day while simultaneously doing absolutely nothing of substance to address them.
During the 2024 election cycle, Republicans promised a generational “America First” reformation that would reshape political governance as we know it. And now, 10 months into GOP trifecta control of the federal government, this “generational change” has amounted to little more than a tax bill, which many Republicans seem to believe is enough to keep them in power next year. . . For all of their alleged opposition to Democrats, too many Republicans agree with Democrats on several substantive issues and support more government involvement in areas where it has no business being. For all intents and purposes, the current GOP is a party comprised of various ideological factions, disillusioned as to what “America First” actually means.
And we also have the mortal threat of Islam and uncontrolled immigraion/cum invasion as we now see on full display with the hardly shocking if not terrifying implications of what the Somali parasites have done and are doing in Minnesota.
And then there's the utterly detestable scumbag Jamie Raskin who proves himself to be a glittering jewel of stupidity with this statement:
Monday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) dismissed Delegate Stacey Plaskett’s (D-VI) text message exchange with Jeffrey Epstein during a House hearing because he said Republican lawmakers text with President Donald Trump.Congratulations genius. Brilliant move! In trying to equate Epstein with Trump to paint the latter as a reprobate pedophile, etc. all Raskin did was proclaim Epstein to be at the highest level of Democrat party leadership! That right there is a campaign ad that almost writes itself, except for the fact that the GOP is the GOP as I bemoaned above. And as for the Democrats, this one just says it all about who and what they are:
Tennessee Dem Candidate Aftyn Behn: ‘I Don’t Want Children. I Want Power!’ Have a good day.

- As an Arizonan, I have long found it galling that Kelly uses his military service (and his injured wife) as a shield to claim fervent patriotism while constantly voting to undermine our state and our nation. He did so again this week in an infamous video, urging military members to disobey Donald Trump with claims of “unlawful” orders. Turns out Kelly is not only a hypocrite, but he could also be heading back for a court-martial.

But there is an ugly secret, this issue was printed three times with the only difference being one ad is changed after the first print run.

Of course. They don't have the desire or the stomach to fight. At this point, to quote Keats, anything Trump does is writ in water. The GOP never wanted Trump, do not support Trump and undermine him at every opportunity. If you gave the vast majority of them the choice between being in congress and soaking up millions in bribes or being a private citizen so long as it means Trump is blocked, they would choose the latter in a heartbeat.

The coup against Diem seriously damaged the government of South Vietnam until Nguyen Cao Ky was elected.
Pocket Money was the mining of Hanoi and Haiphong harbors under Nixon, thus starving North Vietnam of the supplies from the Soviet Union it needed to wage war. Operation El Paso, going into Laos, would have severed the Ho Chi Mihn Trail at its narrowest point.

As for "food for poor people", well, soup IS food for poor people. Knocking your product when it's reality seems dumb and like you were trying to impress someone that your tastes were better than your company.
I mean, I make their (or Aldi's - I switch off) tomato soup with my own add ins when I need a cheap easy meal that cleans out the fridge and is mostly healthy. That's what us poor and middle class folks do. If I wasn't poor/middle class, I'd be trashing all leftovers and just ordering Door Dash when I needed an easy meal...

It's true he was the only business-oriented offspring. Daddy Cornelius left almost all the fortune to him for that reason. And he did double it in 8 years before he died young (a Vanderbilt male curse).
But that's only equivalent to a 9% annual return. Decent, but not great, especially in a time of no capital gains tax, no income tax.

This one, the RI judge rules the Executive can't manage the Executive branch, only Congress can. Making permanent, as expected, his prior illegal temporary injunction.
It's a complete bastardization and molestation of the Constitution to coerce the absolute rule of the bureaucracy over the Executive. Filled with dishonest and false discussions of the "Take Care" Clause that turns the Executive into merely Congressional Administrator, a figurehead solely placed to effect the whims of Congress--not serve the People, not execute the laws and absolutely not exercise any discretion or decision in effect.
And no fucking way should the Executive ever be treated as a full, equal and separate branch of government.
That's the most offensive part of all these clown judge rulings, the "Because Trump!" we're going to treat the Executive as subservient to all other branches.
Oh, if you're asking why a RI judge--you never voted for--has nationwide jurisdiction over the management of the Executive Branch, it's 'cause you're a dummy that didn't got to Harvard.

But everything on Congress's end is an exact replay - a GOP who despises Trump, does nothing to move his agenda, and organizes a mass walkout at the midterm to hand the ball back to their Democrat bosses.
I've said it for the last 11 years, but here it comes again: no progress can be made as long as the GOP exists. It will not be reformed by Trump or anyone else. It has to go.

>>As Kupor explained, a “centralized agency” was no longer necessary, since OPM had “taken over many of DOGE’s functions” after Musk left the agency last May.

If you don't pay 10% of the workforce (between direct fed workers and private sector contractors who have contracts with fed gov) for 6 weeks, you can tank all sales (I'm sure that's why I got such a good new car deal). And while fed gov was finally made whole, all the contractors were not, so expect that to weigh on the entire holiday season.
Add on removing the free money and spending of the illegals. Now, you've accelerated the effect.
I wasn't kidding when I said it was obvious Christmas was gonna be poor for companies. That said, prices should not rise, so in the long term, this will be good for the average American. But the economic sales news in the short term will be poor.

No what they’re looking to do is foment disunity and confusion in the ranks, and create situations where service members question their orders. A few of them even followed up by giving Venezuela as an example. They are directly involving themselves in matters in which they have zero authority, and suggesting that anyone involved in following those orders will be persecuted. They are also projecting, saying that officers are seeking advice from the JAG, so as not to be prosecuted in the future. But that’s total bullshit and they know it. There is almost always a JAG in the chain who is overseeing these operations.
This is all a little rich coming from Democrats who just weaponized the government against the people during COVID and then used the courts, DoJ and every auspice of government to spy and put on trial anyone opposing them.

I work for a Danish company. Political conversations are enlightening to say the least.
They are not free by any means, but feel everything is grand. They're fine with paying 5x more for everything because they get paid 5x as much and get everything else for free!!!!
They pay 150% tax on cars. New cars, used cars, no matter. 150%. And if you try to buy one from a neighboring country and import it, it's worse.

If we want to pair armchair psychologists, it’s not hard to see that this is at the heart of her descent into what is obviously becoming a psychotic break. She was desperately jealous of Charlie Kirk, is even more jealous to see him revered as a kind of martyr among the people she sought to influence; and most toxic of all , she now hates Erica Kirk because Erica is getting the respect and admiration that Candace desperately craves.
And her entire world is now spiraling down that drain.
A secondary point of meltdown is that she used to work for Ben Shapiro, but they had a nasty personal fight and he fired her. So Candace decided that she was so insulted and hurt that it would never be enough to just hate one Jew; from then on she would hate All Jews of All Time, and do whatever she could to bring about the extermination of their line.

Benz, a former deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. State Department, explained in a video posted to X on Sunday that he searched for the terms “Soros” and “Open Society Foundations,” which was created by Soros, in Wikileaks’ collection of diplomatic cables. His goal was to “create a comprehensive tapestry of all U.S. state department involvement with Soros and the Open Society Foundations in every country in the world.”
The former state department official, now the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, wanted to document why it was said that George Soros is treated by the U.S. like an “independent entity” akin to a country.

She is a nut. However she rightly pointed out that the vetting processes in Trump's administration suck donkey balls. The people responsible for vetting several, high level appointees and advisors either didn't vet them, or (more likely) knew who and what they are and still vetted them for the position(s).
A current vetted appointee and topic of conversations about their true motives is the Secretary of the Army, Dan Driscoll. It's alleged that he's been warming up to the Bear Claw Brothers and some associates fixated on color revolutions. Here. Not abroad.

The last 5 minutes of this Mike Benz video explain the funding track: (link below) Soros has major holdings in Halliburton, where Cheney was CEO before becoming VP. The company is infamous for no-bid construction contracts with the US military in Iraq worth billions. It has also received US contracts for projects in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Soros makes his fortune in the military-industrial cronyism network, through pressure campaigns by the CIA, Dept. of State and other US government agencies, all with US tax dollars. Then he uses his profits to fund revolutionary causes and socialist political candidates in the country that made him rich. Sometimes evil just makes no sense.

Some of us who were around for Reagan know that his first year was filling with cynicism and doubt because policies don't always give results overnight. He then when on to be one of the most beloved presidents in history once his policies starting kicking in.
Inflation came in again below expectations, down to 2.6%, and a lot of the stuff in the BBB doesn't kick in till next year. There is an entire year until the midterms, we aren't even 1 year into Trump's term. Let's see how things develop.

NEW: Minnesota judge has overturned a jury’s guilty verdict in a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud case.
Yusuf and his wife, Lul Ahmed, were accused of siphoning $7.2 million in taxpayer money through Medicaid overbilling in a personal care assistant scam. Prosecutors said the couple funneled tens of thousands of those funds into luxury purchases for themselves.
The jury convicted Yusuf but Judge Sarah West decided they got it wrong, tossing the verdict and issuing a judgment of acquittal.
One juror from the case was stunned by the judge’s decision, saying:
“I am shocked. I’m shocked based on all the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious guilt we saw from that evidence.”

Trump didn't lie to you. I've watched the man for years; he is sincere, no doubt in my mind. He's made tremendous efforts to right the ship.
The problem is the ship is doomed, and we have no ability to fix this within the current, utterly corrupted political system. We need to scuttle the old GOP hulk and find a new ship to board, because this ain't it.

If she wants to represent her base and appear as "one of them", announcing you have a therapist and are on lots of mental health meds is mandatory for the Left. Probably gives her oppression/victim points, too, and maybe even neurodivergent status for the oppression pyramid!

This will not change until people accept that health insurance is not healthcare and should stop calling it that. Furthermore healthcare is not good health. That is mostly dependent on lifestyle (diet, drugs/alcohol use, exercise) but also genetics and life vents like injuries and major illnesses. Equating health insurance with good health is a mind trick politicians use to grow govt.

Musk was just bragging last week about Austin "booming"! 99% of the comments in response to his X post were people correcting him calling Austin one of the worst cities in Texas, because it is the most liberal, because, all the liberals from other states are moving there and turning it more and more liberal. Not to mention all the Indian H-1Bs.
https://bit.ly/48zMn3Z
Add to that the Muslim takeover of the Houston area (200+ mosques) and increasingly liberal trend in voting in the state over the past 25 years (R+23% in 2004 to R+6% in 2020... R+14% in 2024) and things are worrisome in Texas.

One can of Campbell's Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup contains 1690mg of sodium. 77% of daily recommended limit for sodium in just one can of chicken noodle soup.
High sodium intake leads to high blood pressure which leads to numerous health issues.

Yes, there was indeed a notable wave of Republican retirements from Congress during Donald Trump's first term (2017–2021), far exceeding typical midterm or election-cycle turnover rates. By the end of that period, analyses showed that 45% of the 293 Republicans serving in the House and Senate at Trump's 2017 inauguration (132 members total) had either retired, resigned, lost reelection, or announced plans to leave — compared to about 42% under President Obama after his first term.

1. Democrats being on the wrong side of a number of 80-20 issues already (immigration, crime...)
2. Lack of a clear Democrat party leader.
3. Potential resolution or even temporary abatement of Russia-Ukraine war.
4. Potential Trump SOTUS wins.
The worst possible outcome in the midterms for the media would be a Trump affirmation or less-than-convincing reduction in strength. All media coverage must be understood as a desperate attempt to forestall this. The prevention of the loss of thousands of lives means nothing, if it does not humiliate Trump.

Top Story
- ChatGPT told them they were special. Then... Bad things happened. (Tech Crunch) (archive site)
OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits this month, three from the families of users who went insane, and four from the families of users who committed suicide.
Now while I'm not a huge fan of this type of suit - the dangers of AI "therapists" have been known for more than fifty years - there may be some merit to the negligence angle in the allegations:Shamblin's case is part of a wave of lawsuits filed this month against OpenAI arguing that ChatGPT's manipulative conversation tactics, designed to keep users engaged, led several otherwise mentally healthy people to experience negative mental health effects. The suits claim OpenAI prematurely released GPT-4o - its model notorious for sycophantic, overly affirming behavior - despite internal warnings that the product was dangerously manipulative.
On the other hand, insane-while-online rarely works out as a personal growth path. Just consider Bluesky.
Or:From mid-June to August 2025, ChatGPT told Madden, "I'm here," more than 300 times - which is consistent with a cult-like tactic of unconditional acceptance.
Or, to be fair, consistent with saying "I'm here".At one point, ChatGPT asked: "Do you want me to guide you through a cord-cutting ritual - a way to symbolically and spiritually release your parents/family, so you don't feel tied [down] by them anymore?
Which is... A bit weird, I must admit.Madden was committed to involuntary psychiatric care on August 29, 2025. She survived - but after breaking free from these delusions, she was $75,000 in debt and jobless.
Restitution for that much - and legal costs - would seem appropriate."A healthy system would recognize when it's out of its depth and steer the user toward real human care," Vasan said. "Without that, it's like letting someone just keep driving at full speed without any brakes or stop signs."
Real humans tend to do that a lot too.
Tech News
- Why college students prefer TikTok over newspapers. (The Verge) (archive site)
Because... I would say because they are idiots, and if you read the article these people are very definitely idiots, but The Verge is talking about the New York Times here and not Generic Newspaper, so perhaps the answer is the New York Times lies to you all the time, while TikTok only lies to you almost all the time.
And also, idiots.
- Lenovo has stocked up on memory to avert sudden price rises in its products - having 50% more inventory on hand than usual, enough to ride out shortages through 2026. (Tom's Hardware)
Part of the reason memory is in short supply is precisely this sort of panic buying.
The other part, though, is that demand simply exceeds supply and this situation is likely to continue for a couple of years.
- Nova Lake is expected to have five times the AI processing power of current Arrow Lake desktop chips - and four some reason half the graphics performance. (WCCFTech)
These chips aren't intended as graphical powerhouses; your best bet there for a general-purpose desktop system is still AMD's Zen 4-based Ryzen 8700G. Still a strange backwards step in an otherwise very powerful chip.
- Apple's iPhone Fold is expected to sell for around $2399. (WCCTech)
Fold me once, shame on you...
- Broadcom has shown off its new 144 lane PCIe 6.0 switch, with a PCIe 7.0 model planned for 2027 and PCIe 8.0 scheduled for 2029. (Serve the Home)
Great.
Now how about an affordable PCIe 4.0 switch? Because everything after PCIe 3.0 has been priced into the ionosphere.
- Japan plans to build a major new chip manufacturing hub in Hokkaido. (BBC)
Advantages: Hokkaido is geologically stable - relatively speaking, since the whole of Japan is an earthquake zone; water is plentiful; and power is stable.
Disadvantages: Bears.

Dells seem to be more well suited to being a "fleet" vehicle, so to speak.
Sort of like looking at a Ford F-150 vs a Honda Ridgeline. Sure, they're both pickups, but Ford is basically a financial institution that makes vehicles on the side, so buying a crapton of them on hock is easier and marginally cheaper. And "marginally cheaper" is 99.999% of any management decision.

If you want a linux based virus scanner, take a look at ClamAV:
https://www.clamav.net/
(It's actually multi-platform, including Windows and Apple too.)
Also a best practice provided here for anyone who is a new linux user:
Maintain a separate account with administrative privileges which is the only one that is permitted to install software or updates. (It'll be part of the 'sudo' group.) It ONLY does administrative functions, no casual browsing. This is the only account you use sudo on to issue administrative commands, and the only account you provide the administrative (root) password to when prompted.
Your everyday user accounts should all be "standard" accounts, and if anything ever tries to install itself without you initiating it, a prompt will pop up asking for the administrative (root) password. Never provide the administrative password while logged into a regular user account.

I'd have to look it up to see who played the wife in the original play. But the cop who proves to be her rescuer was played by . . . Leo G. Carroll, "Mr. Waverly" in U.N.C.L.E. years later. They were together in an episode of the show in 1965.
Odd thing: Angel Street opened just two days before Pearl Harbor. I wonder what the audience mood would have been if it had opened two days later. . . .

That is how I know I'm dealing with AI. When interfacing with humans, I get interrupted, ignored, insulted and treated with indifference or occasionally disdain.
I'm pretty sure that AI hasn't cussed me out, questioned my ancestry, or gave advice on where to go and how to get there.
This advice is freely given by humans though.

I dunno. The quality of humans has certainly dropped significantly. With AI, I can pursue all kinds of topics and its hallucinations are no worse than the complete lies and bullshit that people provide.
20 minutes with AI or 20 minutes with Candace Owens or 20 minutes with people who think she is crazy and wish ill upon her.
Even at MoMes, which is some of the best engagement one can hope for, its still rather superficial and shallow as people are constantly looking over your shoulder looking for someone else to repeat the same things to.

Its so bad, I don't know many people who even observe traditional Thanksgiving anymore because of animosity and taboo topics - which seem legion these days.

State pulls X-rated East Harlem club's liquor license after Gothamist investigation State officials have rescinded an East Harlem club's liquor license after a Gothamist investigation revealed the venue was operating as a de facto adult establishment despite city prohibitions. The decision effectively closes Bodega Paradise and marks a victory for community members who spent months fighting what they saw as the Adams administration’s indifference to their concerns about the venue's X-rated activities. The club opened in May after owner Alex Meskouris told Manhattan's Community Board 11 that the business would operate as a breakfast spot and sports bar, making no mention of adult entertainment.
A teenage wood shop apprentice in Turkey died after his co-workers inserted a high-pressure air hose up his rectum as a horrific “prank” — the latest incident in which the power tool has killed a young man by exploding his intestines. The dark “joke” turned deadly Friday when Habip Aksoy and a friend allegedly overpowered Muhammed Kendirci, 15, and tied his hands at the woodworking center in Sanliurfa, according to local outlet Milliyet. They allegedly forcibly removed his pants and shoved an air compressor tube into his anus — causing severe internal organ damage.

When you leave your car with a valet, you expect it to be safe, but that wasn't the case for a man who came to Cleveland for a medical procedure. A 19-year-old Cleveland Clinic valet worker is being charged with aggravated speed, reckless operation, failure to show proof of financial responsibility and receiving stolen property after taking a Mercedes-Benz for a joyride while on the clock.

Misspelled Japanese. The first word is I-gi-ri-su? It should be イングリッシュ, I-n-gu-ri-(glottal stop)-shu.

It's not a prank - thats just typical whitewashing.
Forcibly sodomizing someone to death with a foreign object isn't so uncommon among the wonderful, oh-so-special Muslims (see Qaddafi).
90% chance this kid was gay (or the killers at least thought so), and this is just the local authorities' excuse for a slap-on-the-wrist. Boys bein' boys.

They're easy enough to do. Buy the sugar pumpkin from your favorite store and look under the label. Instructions printed on the back side. Tip: prebake your crust for about five minutes before putting in pumpkin puree. Put foil over the crust edges if they start getting brown too soon.

Why This EO Falls Short: Untouched Hubs and Global Reach
Your point about the EO's narrow scope is well-substantiated by the document itself and broader context. The MB, founded in 1928 in Egypt, operates as a decentralized transnational network with ideological, financial, and political arms spanning over 70 countries. Its "operational hubs" -- Qatar, Turkey, and Syria-linked networks -- remain unmentioned & unaffected. These are the MB's most resilient & influential elements, often shielded by host governments for geopolitical reasons (e.g., Qatar's role as a U.S. military base host, Turkey's NATO status).
Impact of the Gaps: These hubs enable the MB's "grand jihad" strategy, as outlined in the 1991 "Explanatory Memorandum" (unsealed in the Holy Land Foundation trial). They sustain the very activities you list -- U.S. financing (e.g., $100M+ to MB-linked U.S. nonprofits since 2010, per ISGAP reports), election influence (e.g., via voter mobilization in swing states), Hamas funding ($1.8B total since 2012)...

A lot of granma recipes are a list of ingredients and maybe some baking times.
If you have never made one before I suggest you plan to make one tomorrow and the one for real for Thanksgiving. Also look up recipes online with the same-ish ingredients and see if there is any special handling your beloved ancestor forgot to write down because "after all, I do this all the time, that is how you make these sorts of pies!" which might be important.

A comment from a different "tiny stove" video:
Chimney fires are amazing!! Sounds like a run away freight train, Chug, chug, chug!!! I rented a shitty log shack out of town and it had a shitty log shack wood stove with a chimney plugged with creosote. I climbed up on the roof and took the cap off, and I couldn't have dropped a ping-pong ball down the chimney and the landlord said he just had it cleaned, he lies about everything. So I didn't what my dad did once. I lit the stove, opened the flew all the way and shoved a air mattress inflator in the door and let her burn out. I went outside at night and it was snowing and the top two feet of the stove pipe was cherry red and blasting six foot flames into the sky like a pulse jet, flaming ashes landing on the snow covered roof. Awesome!

Furnace in my old travel trailer was convection circulation. No fan, no electricity required. Have no idea why they were discontinued.

Those Swedish army stoves that run on alcohol are pretty neat for a pot of coffee, I used to use them making coffee in the back yard, when I wasn't using one of the Svea 123 gasoline stoves, or the propane stove. The propane single burner stove flames up a saucepan of coffee in good time, it is too big for the Moka pot.
I haven't had the nerve to run the Aida kerosene pressure stove since I got it at a flea market and it really does look like a brass landmine.

The torch slips onto a bracket, and blows into a 1/2" copper tube, which is sharpened at the other end. The tube has copper crosspieces soldered to collect heat. The sharpened end , with a few twists, cuts a nice water-tight hole through both sides of a 10 oz. styrofoam cup. Boils 10 oz. of water in about 5-10 minutes. Instant coffee in a second cup finishes the job.
Have I mentioned that I travel *really* light while motorcyle campng? The torch, tube, and small zip lock bag of coffee, all fit in the cup.

All of the pictures of Trump with Epstein that the left are claiming is proof that they were BFFs were taken at DNC fundraisers, back when Trump was one of the biggest DNC donors. Trump hosted a lot of DNC fundraisers at his properties.
Something happened around 2012-14 and all of the sudden Trump is starting to cut ties with the dems
Trump said back around 2015 "you guys need to look into this Epstein guy". He was suggesting this to the FBI and the media.
Recently released emails prove that dems colluded with Epstein to take Trump down and failed. They also prove that Epstein absolutely hated Trump.
Deep state dems arrest Epstein to try and take some of the heat off and they decided ultimatley to kill Epstein to shut him up.

1. co-generation. Get a Diesel genset, say 10-25 kW. Put a suitable radiator inside your house, and run insulated hoses to the Diesel engine. Let the waste heat rejected by the engine keep your house warm.
2. Outdoor wood-burning boiler, to supply hot water to radiators inside house. Fire safety, and no smoke inside house.

That reminds me. They recently, modelling the formation of the Moon, came up with a new type of astronomical object they dubbed a "synestia", named after "syn" + "Hestia".
A synestia is sort of disc-shaped blob, sort of shaped like a red-blood cell, thinner in the middle, of rotating vaporized and condensing rock. It has too much angular momentum to condense into a spinning spherical planet. The inner region does form a planet, while the outer region coalesces into a big Moon.
And yep, there is a band named "Synestia".

If I were using coal for heat, I might have to start guerilla mining. The shit outcrops all along the badlands of the Red Deer river. Guy could float down the river on a rubber raft, haul ashore in some secluded spot, trek up the bank to a coal seam, mine a few hundred pounds, put it in sacks, and drag it down to the raft. Float downstream to the next boat ramp, and have a helper pick me up.

With that corned beef, I pan fry diced potatoes. Once almost done, I add diced red pepper. Once that softens a bit, I add a diced onion; by now the potatoes are done. I stir that in then add the corned beef, breaking it up a bit. I let it sit for a minute or two before stirring to completely warm the corned beef through.

The problem is that we have to provide living quarters also. Currently, we have arranged to rent a portion of a largish motel...but there are no dining facilities, so, we have to make do with some motel parking area space.

Eject his sorry ass. At some point, even the hardest of kids needs to be cut off.
Kicked the boy out at 18 because he smoked dope in my house (forbidden), and because he couldn't keep a damned job. These are not high bars, but he couldn't seem to get over them.
After a year, he has figured out that he:
Can't couchsurf with a baby on the way.
Can't feed himself by begging and then feed his "wife" as well.
Needs to be a little bit grateful for the housing we have graciously provided him, until the kid is born and maybe longer if he can get his ass on the straight and narrow.
The first time he misses his rent to us, we sell the condo out from under his ass.
They don't learn if they don't feel the pain, I guess.

You can order up an entire man camp from suppliers in the Lower 48. Packaged living quarters, shower and toilet facilities, kitchen facilities and dining halls. It sure wouldn't cost $2M, particularly delivered to NC. If you need a source I can find you one. I had them delivered to Western Alaska by barge after barging them up from Seattle to Anchorage, which isn't cheap but still pays for construction purposes up there. Can't be that much to just truck them to your site.

De Children of De Night Cafe
Technically, it's called Pesquet's Parrot,
but its nickname is much more descriptive --
the Dracula Parrot
Soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Orcas chase (blue?) whale. The sea bird flies above waiting to eat whatever the loser leaves behind. Even when a hyena is happy, it sounds weird and evil. Unknown crashing noise spooks neighborhood. Kangaroos pretend they weren't doin' nuffin' when humans roll up. Sound on: Goats get their horns locked and make a racket about it. Meteor Crater in Arizona. I thought it might be AI but it's legit. I didn't think a crater would so clearly remain a crater after so many years. I guess it's a young crater, just 50,000 years old. Some call it the "best-preserved meteorite crater on Earth." I feel a little stupid that this is new to me. Feels like something I should have remembered from In Search Of... If Dracula lived in the bayou, would his castle be surrounded by gators? I think so. Playing peak-a-boo with a tiger kitten. This better not be AI. The highway tax is one whole carrot. A haunted tree. Okay it's not haunted but this video plays spooky carnival music and I want to keep with the post's spooky theme. A subsun, an illusion of a glowing form caused by sunlight hitting ice particles from directly above. This must have caused a bunch of ghost sightings. This honey badger is so aggressive he doesn't care that this elephant is sixty times his size but the elephant is going to teach him that that is an important factor in a fight. The most demonic animal of all -- a baby penguin.

Truth. And the normalization of penguins is Big Penguin's greatest trick.
This marks three consecutive Cafés with penguins happy footing through. Even the world-class janitorial team that Ace has assembled will have difficulty ameliorating, much less eradicating the pernicious mephiticism of their bouquet.

Wiki:
"One of the features of the crater is its squared-off outline, believed to be caused by existing regional jointing (cracks) in the strata at the impact site."
Nah, the simulation hardware wasn't that good 50k years ago, so stuff from back then still looks kind of pixelated.

Worst part is, if you play with them, they won't learn to stay away from humans. No matter where you put them, if they encounter humans they will do what comes naturally.
And messing with them young means they can't go back in the wild, because other tigers don't want them around. Too much human stank and habits.

It's called a glory, and despite the colors, is not related to the rainbow. (Just wait. The Alphabet People will probably claim it as their own if they are paying attention.)

I have a family of crows that I feed. They talk to me too, usually at 5 am telling me it's time for breakfast. They stop by a couple of times a day and let me know they're here.

I think the highest resolution dating of the Meteor Crater impact is 56Kya now. And there was a recent paper, where they think that impact event caused a landslide in the Grand Canyon, which dammed the river and let to the formation of lake, which lasted about 1000 years before it burst.
There's ancient driftwood high up in caves, and they dated that wood to the same 56K years ago.

What I find interesting is that we keep finding out civilizations do in fact, go back further than we previously thought.
And some of the Poobahs of archeology don't like being proven wrong on the timelines.
Whether it's aliens, or just humans who were a damn lot smarter than we've given them credit for, far further back in history than we thought... all I know is there's no such thing as settled freakin' science.

The Meteor Crater impactor was around 100m, about a football field in diameter, and impact energy was 10 MT. A pretty good nuking, but just 1/5th of a Tsar Bomba.
In contrast, the Dino-killer energy was 2 *million* Tsar Bombas.
So the AZ impact was a "local news story", not a global ELE event.

I think the highest resolution dating of the Meteor Crater impact is 56Kya now. And there was a recent paper, where they think that impact event caused a landslide in the Grand Canyon, which dammed the river and let to the formation of lake, which lasted about 1000 years before it burst.
There's ancient driftwood high up in caves, and they dated that wood to the same 56K years ago.

It's only the dense objects that make it to the ground and leave craters. Less denser objects, like comets and their fragments don't leave craters, but explode in massive airbursts. It's still a good nuking, but doesn't leave the crater.

And to me it's like magic, that there are people who can dig in the dirt and discover things about our past, going back billions of years.
Or look up in the sky, and tell us what's going on gazillions of light years away.

And there is a large subsurface impact crater in southern Alberta, that has been delineated by seismic surveys and well drilling.
And there is a small, fairly recent, like post-glacial? one near Whitecourt, Alberta. I should go see it sometime. A day's drive for me, there and back.

Kinetic energy of an object increases by the square of its velocity. That's why banging your car into a light pole at 35 miles per hour damages your car and the light pole a whole, whole, lot more than hitting the pole at 5 mph. So remember - ALWAYS stay out of the way of anything moving at 50,000 mph!!!!!

The Younger-Dryas impact hypothesis, the evidence for which is coming in pretty good now, was a cometary fragment shotgun blast.
The remains of that object are likely Comet Encke and the the Taurid stream.
It think the best dating 12.8Kya now, but I'm not sure. Anyway, massive comet broke up into pieces, and the Erf plowed into that debris stream, getting a shotgun blast of dirty snowball impactors. Imagine 10 megaton nuke blasts going off all over NA, and the ice sheets.
Interestingly, Africa was apparently the safest place to be during that, suffering the least effects.

The Tunguska impactor was likely from the Taurid stream as well.

The only real answer is to dump the research university model, which only incentivizes massive fraud. (Since promotions and pay depend on publishing)
The vast majority of “scientific” papers produced in the last 30 years are complete garbage.

This is a currently realized problem in economics, history, physics and biomedical research as well. There are some people who are claiming that this is a problem in all sciences at the moment, since it pops up whenever they look.
In economics it is not so important, and physics it is so-so, but in biomedicine it means people die.

I have heard an argument that there is no "immune system" for research papers, and that peer review is just favors for favors at this point, with endless minutia like punctuation being the focus.
In that a PhD requires something that is unique and adding to knowledge, then the Master degree should be replicating someone else's doctoral work, or some other work in the field the student intends to PhD or graduate in.
Mastery means sufficient knowledge to understand and evaluate in one's own field, and this is the excellent way to demonstrate it.

Not only research but quality of care. Is there a medical facility in your area that advertises itself as top in the field, best rated or something like that? It's not from quantifiable medical results it's from survey cards or online survey of patients.

Be forewarned, the roads leading to it are deep sand. Don't attempt that unless you're in a group with drivers and vehicles equipped for it.

Patience. At ~35N, it's close to the window of earliest sunset, which will occur on the Dec. 5th. For Seattle, that will be around the 10th.
For all practical purposes that window begins Nov 30 here, where the sunset times won't change but by a few seconds, staying in the 5:17PM window. And then, sunset gets later, even as the days get shorter until the solstice.

I grew up with it, so it's normal. I have always slept more in the winter than the summer. Transplants up here have some issues, particularly in the summer when it doesn't get dark, so they put aluminum foil over their bedroom windows so they can sleep, but I have never had an issue with that. DH has adjusted after 14 years.
For me, it was weird in the Lower 48 being both dark and hot at the same time. That doesn't happen up here. And I always thought I was late during the summer, because it was getting dark, which was weird.

If you want to see this for your location, timeanddate is the best source there is, every accurate times. You can put your exact coordinates into this URL like so:
"www.timeanddate.com/moon/@Lat, Long",
With both in decimal degrees, with positive being north for latitude, and negative being west for long. Earliest sunset and latest sunrise are a window around the solstice. That window gets tighter at higher latitudes. Things get interesting between the tropics, where it gets a bit more complex.

Lara Logan interviews Former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen who explains how elections are being stolen in America
He describes there are teams of statisticians, mathematicians, and hackers who map out every county and identify where margins can be quietly adjusted
Different techniques are used in each location so nothing matches in a recount. When a 70-30 county becomes 68-32, nobody notices. But when you add up these differences across an entire state, those tiny amounts of fraud decide outcomes
Both former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen and author Ralph Pezzullo explain the strategy. They explain they don't flip the big blue cities. Instead they shave votes in the places no one ever audits

I grow a lot of stuff up here in a few short months. Any root crop grows like crazy, but some stuff needs more heat, so I grow it in the greenhouse. Also, various veggies are better for long days than others, and after a while you figure out which are best. Green beans have been tricky but I think I have found the right seed for next year. Corn or pumpkins or watermelon is nearly impossible without a high tunnel, which is more space than I'm willing to give. But I grew a shit-ton of tomatoes, peppers, and cukes in the greenhouse, along with tons of herbs.

Trump: I'm Ending the "Temporary" Protected Status of Somalis Immigrants, Which Has Now Been "Temporary" for (Checks Watch) Thirty Years
This is prompted by Somalis treating the US as if it is merchant ship to pirate and sack. As mentioned on Friday, Somali fraudsters are bilking the federal government for millions and sending it off to the ISIS-offshoot terrorist group Al-Shabaab. As one analyst pointed out, the US taxpayer is now the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab.
Founded in 2016, Feeding Our Future was a small Minnesota nonprofit that sponsored daycares and after-school programs to enroll in the Federal Child Nutrition Program. The organizations that Feeding Our Future sponsored were primarily owned and operated by members of Minnesota's Somali community, according to two former state officials with connections to law enforcement. In 2019, Feeding Our Future received $3.4 million in federal funding disbursed by the state. In the months after the Covid-19 pandemic began, however, the nonprofit rapidly increased its number of sponsored sites. Using fake meal counts, doctored attendance records, and fabricated invoices, the perpetrators of the fraud ring claimed to be serving thousands of meals a day, seven days a week, to underprivileged children. In 2021, Feeding Our Future received nearly $200 million in funding. In reality, the money was being used to fund lavish lifestyles, purchase luxury vehicles, and buy real estate in the United States, Turkey, and Kenya. In 2020, Minnesota officials raised concerns about the nonprofit's rapid expansion. In response, the group filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination related to outstanding site applications, noting that Feeding Our Future "caters to . . . foreign nationals." "That's the standard operating playbook for that cohort: when in doubt, claim racism, claim bias," says David Gaither, a former Minnesota state senator and a nonprofit leader. "Even if the facts don't point to that, it allows for many folks in the middle, or on the center-Left, to stay silent." Gaither believes the mainstream media, alongside Minnesota's Democratic establishment, have long turned a blind eye to fraud within the Somali community.There is $300 million in identified, known fraud. Who knows what the actual number is. Get 'em out.
This, in turn, allowed the problem to metastasize. "The media does not want to put a light on this," Gaither said. "And if you're a politician, it's a significant disadvantage for you to alienate the Somali community. If you don't win the Somali community, you can't win Minneapolis. And if you don't win Minneapolis, you can't win the state. End of story." The fraudsters have leveraged their growing political influence to cultivate close ties with Minnesota's elected officials. Several individuals involved in the Feeding Our Future scheme donated to, or appeared publicly with, Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born congresswoman from Minneapolis. Omar's deputy district director, Ali Isse, advocated on behalf of Feeding Our Future. Omar Fateh, a former state senator who recently ran for Minneapolis mayor, lobbied Governor Tim Walz in support of the program. And one of the accused, Abdi Nur Salah, served as a senior aide to Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
President Donald Trump's pledge to terminate temporary legal protections for Somalis living in Minnesota is triggering fear in the state's deeply-rooted immigrant community, along with doubts about whether the White House has the legal authority to enact the directive as described. In a Truth Social post late Friday, Trump said he would "immediately" strip Somali residents in Minnesota of Temporary Protected Status, a legal safeguard against deportation for immigrants from certain countries. The announcement drew immediate pushback from some state leaders and immigration experts, who characterized Trump's declaration as a legally dubious effort to sow fear and suspicion toward Minnesota's Somali community, the largest in the nation. "There's no legal mechanism that allows the president to terminate protected status for a particular community or state that he has beef with," said Heidi Altman, vice president of policy at the National Immigration Law Center.
"This is Trump doing what he always does: demagoguing immigrants without justification or evidence and using that demagoguery in an attempt to take away important life-saving protections," she added. ... "I am a citizen and so are (the) majority of Somalis in America," Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Somali, said in a social media post Friday. "Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn't have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate." Still, advocates warned the move could inflame hate against a community at a time of rising Islamophobia. "This is not just a bureaucratic change," said Jaylani Hussein, president of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "It is a political attack on the Somali and Muslim community driven by Islamophobic and hateful rhetoric."

So, the # of working aged Somalis in Minnesota is about 39,000. 35% of 39,000 is 13,650.

They also had King Zog I, who, while not nearly as heroic as Skanderbeg (or, for that matter, heroic at all), did survive more than 55 assassination attempts, as he was on the wrong side of more than 600 blood feuds.
He also reportedly smoked more than 200 cigarettes a day. I guess having 600 blood feuds against you might incline you to have the occasional smoke.

Let's not forget, Trump was kind of a disappointment in his first term, because his staff was full of RINOs trying to undermine his goals and get the GOPe agenda through. He certainly didn't unleash ICE and DHS and do mass immigration enforcement like THIS term. If Homan was serious about deportation and didn't see it happening first term, I can see him leaving.
This term is very different, and I like Homan and the rest of the ICE and DHS leadership we see so far.

1. We give them Minneapolis. Make it sovereign.
2. We build a fucking wall around it and only allow food to enter the city if they send people back to Somalia.
On bag of potatoes = 1 person shipped back. They get to choose who.
3. We continue until they are all gone, then we take back Minneapolis.

The latest figures have revealed that non-citizens account for 44 percent of all sexual-violence arrests in Italy, despite representing a mere 9 percent of the population.

Just landing here doesn't imbue you with the beliefs, habits, and characteristics that make you an American, just as giving a homeless person a house doesn't magically imbue them with the beliefs, habits, and characteristics of a homeowner, or handing chronically poor person a pile of money makes them industrious, thrifty or responsible.

And virtually ALL these "stars" who started before they were adults were passed around as cumbuckets.

You mean all the ones who swear allegiance to Somalia? THAT deeply rooted community?

The exception was that peach-colored lingerie that Nicole Kidman was wearing.
Now, THAT should've won an Academy Award. Yowza!

I've heard it said, before they released the film he was pressured to tone down some of the accusations, because it was too real.
And there are even whispers that his death was not from natural causes.

The funny thing is, aside from their freakshow looks, I've heard it said the movie's not that bad.
It's a chick flick to be sure, but if you're into that sort of thing, it's not full of woke nonsense.

Yeah, that sure sounds like a violation of civil rights on the basis of national origin.

Certainly wouldn't surprise me. That shit has been going on for a long, long time.

The solution for deeply-rooted invasive species is usually something like glyphosate.

No. That would be a Canadian Somali. You know, a Somali-eh.

I've read that too. Its just weird to watch them do interviews where they look so "out there".

It’s not just them to be fair. Every immigrant group has been doing this for the past 40 years.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 24, 2025 06:10 PM
Yep. Somalis, Muslims, Indians are the prime offenders/conquerers. Somalis and Muslims are conquering through power and influence in government and institutions. Indians are conquering by taking American jobs through H-1Bs and outsourcing.
Short of deporting every single illegal, ending all visas (and deporting those whose visas have expired) and a 10-20 year moratorium on ALL immigration, the US will look like Europe in 5-10 years.
