Color me skeptical She Went On a Vacation to Iran: ‘It was Nothing Like I Expected’
Chiara Herlemann, who is originally from Germany, travelled across the Middle Eastern country for ten days at the end of May. Before getting on the plane, Chiara says she was quite nervous about whether the trip would be unsafe after reading about Iran in online news reports. But, she was incredibly surprised when she arrived to find the country a welcoming and friendly destination. “I was very nervous to go and a lot of my friends were warning me that it was really dangerous,” she told SWNS news agency. “Every time I saw something about Iran in the news it was just some blurry pictures that looked like North Korea. “When I got there, I was so surprised.” “Everything was so different from what I expected. The people were so friendly. The men were helping me with my bags and making sure I was okay. *** “It is known as an Islamic country, but it doesn’t really feel like it, it was very westernized. “As a woman you have an instinct when something isn’t right, and there wasn’t a single moment where I felt like that.” Chiara says her favorite parts of the trip were the “kind people” and the food, with her favorite sight being the Blue Mosque.Read the whole thing and decide for yourself.
A Texas man recently made the shocking discovery that he had somehow become married to the woman he had just broken up with, without his consent.Check out the story at the link. Here is a news report on the story:
Imagine breaking up with someone only to find out the next day that you are legally married to them, even though you never even attended a marriage ceremony. This is the bizarre experience of a Texas man who claims he was married to his ex-fiancée without his knowledge. The 42-year-old man, whose identity has not been revealed, admitted to having been in a committed relationship with 36-year-old Kristin Marie Spearman and visiting the Wayne County clerk’s office to get a marriage license. However, the pair never made it to the altar. They got into an argument, and the man told Spearman that he didn’t want to be in a relationship with her, but his ex-fiancée had other plans…

The girl who went to Iran probably found that the place is actually full of normal people who hate the mullahs and treasure Persian culture -- which is actually quite hospitable. Too bad they don't have it in them at the moment to revolt.

Well, maybe there's some slight chance he will open up as to why he did that awful crime. I am quite OK with the death penalty where the conviction is a foregone conclusion, but it seems to me that this case was a difficult one, with no guarantee of a conviction. And there are a lot of motivated bleeding hearts out there that would try to get on the jury to hang it.

He was an articulate spokesman for the Dissident Right, and an early critic of ConInc. He had some strong opinions, but he wasn't for sale.
He reportedly died of natural causes. As far as I know he did not have any information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton.

I wrote about it last night, but will give you the reader’s digest version- It was a very pretty dress, shockingly so. Lauren looked lovely and I hope it sticks. I love priest buttons, had them all down the back of my wedding gown for my now defunct marriage. Pain to get in it, but looks lovely. A mermaid dress is perfect for an hourglass figure, which she has. D&G did right by her.

Basically 17th Century French; archaic now.
And we schoolkids in the West had to take a mandatory 4 years of French in school. And what did they teach? Parisian French, which is almost unintelligible to a Quebecer, and makes Quebec "joual" unintelligible to a English speaker trained in it. They could have trained up teachers to train us in Quebec French, and we might not have this gulf we have today. Opportunity wasted; Liberals to blame.

Well, maybe there's some slight chance he will open up as to why he did that awful crime. I am quite OK with the death penalty where the conviction is a foregone conclusion, but it seems to me that this case was a difficult one, with no guarantee of a conviction. And there are a lot of motivated bleeding hearts out there that would try to get on the jury to hang it.

There’s been a long running (75 years) issue about a thing called depletion allowances which the left calls subsidies and which oil producers say no, it’s just a slight break on the taxes they pay to encourage production.

Actually a very good question.
I am not aware of any tax breaks on buying an IGE vehicle.
Or piping you home with natural gas of relying on the power company vs. solar cells and power walls.
Gasoline tax at state and federal level to pay for roads vs. none for all electric cars.
Paying for oil license on public land which takes small footprint vs. subsidized wind and solar farms which hog land, not that either have jack to do with Musk...
No clue what Musk is bitching about.
Needs to get his ass to Mars with his harem ASAP.

Same idea as depletion allowances, except when Acme Oil Inc goes to sell old equipment they get less for it. When the Taliban sold our stuff to China and Russia they got MORE then the listed value.

Try Cheshire cheese from Merrye Olde Englande, available from Zingerman's. You can make an insane Cheese and Onion Pie with that stuff. Cheshire was England's most popular cheese for hundreds of years until it was crushed by Cheddar because Cheddar's production was standardized and modernized. Cheshire is godly in flavor.

But, the politics suck. That is a recent thing. Nothing like that in the 1960's or 1970's. And now that they got rid of Alaska Way and you can actually see the piers.... much better.

The problem with the mermaid cut is that you literally cannot navigate stairs in it. There are some hilarious pics out there of A-list celebrity women being hefted upstairs by security because they can't so much as take a single step up or down. Think Hillary and that pic of her with a guy on each side shoulder her arms to get her up the steps.

Most store brands of “Sharp” Cheddar taste like a mild Colby. I don’t know if there are any regs on aging, but that’s what makes it sharp. Once in a great while they will slip up and get the real deal. Gets slightly crumbly. For some reason ya hafta buy “extra sharp” cheddar to get a passable whang to to it, and it is only supplied in those twee faggoty 8 oz packages, no 2 pound blocks, no sir. The white Tillamook is consistently good, the orange stuff less so. Still excellent.

I know several very Lefty lawyers that do murder cases.
As Lefties, they all staunchly oppose the death penalty as just a form of shallow revenge and you might get the wrong guy.
Yet I see LOTS of cases where the (alleged) murderer pleads guilty if the death penalty is taken off of the table.
There is a huge value in that to me, so at least none of those f*ckers get to walk around free in society, at least any time soon, when there is always a chance of an acquittal.

From the GSP area records, spanning from 1884 'til present (data was somewhat spotty until about 1900), most rainfall in a 24 hour period was 12.32" from the August 26 to 27th in 1995. Highest one hour rainfall was 3.7" on June 16, 1969.
Because of the calendar date (midnight to midnight) vs any 24 hour period, the highest daily rainfall was 9.32" on Aug 26, 1995.

GSP recalculated the 30 year normals last year to 1990 - 2020, as opposed to 1980 - 2010. so that switched around the wettest and driest normal months a good bit. They do that every 10 years or so. For some things 20 year normal ranges are used, but 30 year is the main one.

Normals are not just simple means over the 30 year period. Outliers are suppressed. They still count, but are downweighted based on variance somehow. My late cousin was big on pointing out that difference.

My suspicion is they move more of the orange cheddar than they do the white. Other than the annatto coloring, there is no difference? Consequently a bit older, and thus more flavorful. You know, a strong whang to it. It’s OK if you don’t like Tillamook cheddar, just means more for me!

Well, that's interesting. Grok insists the NWS 30-yr normals are indeed basic averages, an no outlier down-weighting is used. For specific things like degree-days, such smoothing is used, but not for the basic normals.
Since my cousin is no longer around, I can't ask him to clarify. But he was big on pointing out normals weren't averages.

They fought a cataclysmic war against the Draeyyganns, an invasive mutated lizard species that were the last of the giant dinosaurs. They were basically 40 foot long Komodo dragons that were killing everything in their path and would have dominated the earth. The Zhanshi won the war, but paid the ultimate price. None survived.
The only remaining pandas were tiny stunted ones, the runts of their kind. Those became the pandas we know today. So laugh if you will. But at one time eons ago, pandas defeated dragons and saved the world.

SO. THE LAUREN SANCHEZ WEDDING DRESS. I HAVE THOUGHTS.
1) I am TICKED that everyone is comparing it to Kate Middleton's dress, and bashing it because she's copying Middleton. When she was CLEARLY inspired by Grace Kelly's iconic, perfection of a wedding dress (which Kate Middleton and Sarah Burton of McQueen clearly used as their inspiration, with a modern twist.)
She also is known to be enamoured by Sophia Loren (who I feel like, with her hourglass figure, european sophistication, and chiseled face, Lauren is trying to morph into.) It is CLEARLY inspired by the wedding dress in Houseboat.
2) Granted, Lauren's dress IS the Temu/Shein mashup of Sophia and Grace's dresses. It manages to be tacky and classy at the same time. But if you are getting married in Venice, having Dolce and Gabbana, the old Italian queens, make your dress, is appropriate. It looks like they took an old Italian mama's wedding dress from the 50s and decked it up in modern sophistication (and that horrible fishtail hem, ugh.) Very on brand for D&G.

3) Katie Couric mean girl'd about the Sanchez wedding dress, saying that it brings 80s era tackiness back to fashion. She means the 80s Trump era, when Trump was in his golden age of both business and pop culture. She's clearly forgetting about all the tackiness that EVERY era has in fashion. The long nails, clodhopper heels, nearly nude dresses, Gaga meat dresses, everyone wearing the horrible Marchesa dresses by Georgina Chapman even though they are hideous, because Georgina was married to Weinstein and they wanted to stay on his good side...
Trump didn't bring the 80s excess back, honey. It's always been here. And Gen Z and Gen Alpha are obsessed with 80s/90s trends to that is also why they have been back in a big way for several years now.
Anyway, I love that Bezos and Sanchez tried to be the biggest news this week, and for Katie it's still about Trump. Live rent free in their heads for life, Donald! It amuses me.

Lauren Sanchez' wedding dress IS the Temu version of Grace Kelly's and Sophia Loren's dresses, and the silhouette and the buttons and the heavy lace make it a bit odd, but very on brand for D&G. But bless her for trying to bring some classy european sophistication to it, even if it is a little tacky.
Also, I give her props for having sleeves!!! I though it would be boobs and busty all over the place. I give her props for attempting to be tasteful and bring some glamour back with her D&G dress, even it the result isn't fully successful.
I'm just sad that it seems like a lot of people don't know their fashion history. It's as if the first lace wedding dress in history was worn by Kate Middleton. I fear for the youths.

My youngest daughter used to do all kinds of pet-sitting jobs when she was a young teen.
In one case, she got $50/day to feed/play/potty break animals at noon, and then sleep overnight in a king-sized bed with two dogs and two cats.
I asked how she slept in a strange bed, she said she slept great and the animals didn't bother her at all during the night.
Of course, all of the jobs like that were through "networking" where she was recommended directly for jobs by other people that knew her well (and we knew - for her safety).
Got any friends in the area that might know some good pet-sitters for you?
If not, can you take the dog to the cabin? Warm enough to sleep outdoors in a crate if the cabin owner has a no pets rule?

He says he “grew up in the third world” but he was living in the United States attending private school since he was 7 years old—that’s not “code switching,” that’s lying. He is a spoiled, privileged young man playing today’s most popular parlor game “Look how oppressed I am.”

For some reason yesterday he decided we needed vodka. We rarely drink vodka and I told him not to go. Well, he fell going into the liquor store.
He has a great sense of humor and he said "I can't decide if it looks worse falling going into the liquor store or falling when you come out."

That BIG WHEEL'S commercial was filmed in my hometown of La Crescenta Ca. at none other than "Two Strike Park."
A place where I played baseball and used to just walk down to from my home, blocks away. There was this large slope of grass coming down from the baseball field that we used to slide down using pieces of cardboard boxes like sleds. Can't tell you how many times we kids were on those extra-large swings. In my early teenage years, we used to sneak into the park around midnight to swing but the obvious "Squeaks" would piss off the neighbors and get a Sheriff Car into the parking lot shining the spotlight around to chase us off.

My hubby's the same way with his quick wit. We've had so much rain in the last week that a big old oak tree that was leaning off the side of a hill in our backyard fell to the ground Thursday night. No wind, just highly saturated ground that couldn't support it. Pulled the roots right out of the ground, too.
The tree fell on one of hubby's parts car. All the branches and leaves totally concealed the car from view.

Quick Hits
A historic and tumultuous quarter is wrapping up with U.S. stocks at records and many investors betting the ride isn't over yet. The April swoon that carried the S&P 500 to the brink of a bear market has been erased and then some. The broad index has now added more than 8% since President Trump announced sweeping tariffs that sparked havoc in markets. Now, investors have more reasons to feel upbeat. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index hit fresh all-time highs on Friday. Robust corporate earnings and solid economic data suggest that growth remains resilient. Inflation is trending near the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Banks that slashed their year-end targets for the S&P 500, such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, are raising them again.
The DOJ has formally found Harvard in violation of federal civil rights law, and instructs it to either bring itself into compliance with federal law immediately or lose all federal funding. Ed Morrissey, with quotes from the WSJ:
Law schools usually offer prestigious slots on the school's law review based on grades and a blindly-graded writing sample. This is therefore a pure meritocracy -- which makes DEI types hate it. Duke Law found a work-around for rules against racial discrimination, though: They sent minorities and minorities only an email telling them that while they cannot just mark each application by race so they can make sure they give minorities the slots and take them from the White Devils, if the minorities just let them know in their writing samples that they are minorities, they'll grade those writing samples more charitably and get them spots on the law review they're not qualified for based on objective criteria.
The DoJ offered Harvard to explore the Hillsdale College option to avoid any further consequences for its failure to abide by Title VI. If not, the DoJ warns, the direction of the next lawsuit will get inverted and Harvard may have more legal trouble than it bargained for:
In a letter sent to Harvard President Alan Garber on Monday and viewed by The Wall Street Journal, attorneys for the administration said the investigation found that Harvard knew Jewish and Israeli students felt threatened on its campus and acted with deliberate indifference.This finding not only complicates any efforts to restore funding that has already been cut off, it disqualifies Harvard from any further access to federal funds. They have three options, none of which are going to be pleasant for Garber under the circumstances. They could go the Hillsdale College route and eschew any federal funding to remain completely independent, as the DoJ letter suggests, but Hillsdale built their financial model with that policy in mind. Harvard's business model entirely depends on federal subsidies and grants. They would have to pare down their offerings significantly to compete in the marketplace against schools that comply with the law and still have access to those federal funds.
"Failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources and continue to affect Harvard's relationship with the federal government," the letter states. "Harvard may of course continue to operate free of federal privileges, and perhaps such an opportunity will spur a commitment to excellence that will help Harvard thrive once again." Harvard didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A formal "notice of violation" of civil-rights law generally is a step that can come before either a lawsuit from the Justice Department or a voluntary resolution with the school. Under past presidential administrations, civil-rights investigations at universities usually ended with voluntary resolution agreements.
At the end of finals period each May, the Duke Law Journal hosts a two-week-long competition to select its next crop of editors. Applicants write a 12-page memo, or casenote, analyzing an appellate court decision, as well as a 500-word essay about what they would "contribute" to the journal. Students are chosen based on their grades, casenotes, and personal statements. Less than 20 percent of the class makes it onto the law review, which is overseen by Duke Law School and has no legal existence apart from it. To help students prepare for the competition, the journal circulates a guide on how to write the casenote. Last year, however, it decided to give some students an additional document. In a packet prepared for the law school's affinity groups [that is, its race and sexuality-based exclusionary clubs], the journal instructed minority students to highlight their race and gender as part of their personal statements--and revealed that they would earn extra points for doing so. The packet, obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon, included the rubric used to evaluate the personal statements. Applicants can earn up to 10 points for explaining how their "membership in an underrepresented group" will "lend itself to ... promoting diverse voices," and an additional 3-5 points if they "hold a leadership position in an affinity group." To drive home the point, the packet included four examples of personal statements that had gotten students on the law review. Three of those statements referenced race in the first sentence, with one student boasting that, "[a]s an Asian-American woman and a daughter of immigrants, I am afforded with different perspectives, experiences, and privileges." A fourth student waited until the last paragraph to disclose that she was "a Middle Eastern Jewish woman," an "intersectional identity" she said would "prove useful" in a "collaborative environment." "As a woman," the student wrote, "and a woman with Middle Eastern heritage, I also understand of [sic] the importance of presenting a solid work product and building credibility." The packet was only distributed to the affinity groups, according to a person familiar with the matter, which meant that minority students had access to inside information about the scoring process. The journal explicitly told those groups not to share the packet with other students, according to messages reviewed by the Free Beacon, and indicated on the first page that it had been made for affinity groups. When the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in 2023, it said that colleges and universities could not use essays as a Trojan horse for racial preferences. The documents from Duke illustrate how a top law review has skirted that directive, creating a points-based system that foregrounds race and could put the law school in legal jeopardy. "This is clearly illegal," said David Bernstein, a professor of constitutional law at George Mason University. "They're using the personal statement as a proxy for race."Harmeet Dillon, head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, weighs in:

Have followed this closely. When I was in college there was a serial killer. I knew the fear during a lockdown. When one son was in college there was a serial killer...mostly coeds but a few boys who were there like that one boy in Idaho.
I wanted him to get the death penalty, but I'll take this. Arrogant prick.

Republicans are proud to be Americans.
Democrats are proud to be better than Americans.
Currently popular on the Toks is videos of the trash and debris just lying and piling up on the streets of major US cities.
And I realize the brilliance of Trump targeting cities for enforcement:
1) lots of fish in the pond
2) they were doing the jobs those "Americans" there are too good to do
When the trash piles up, first they'll blame Republicans. Then, they'll demand their slaves back.
Then they'll blame the Democrats.
But the rest of the country will see how much they were exploiting illegals, how lazy and racist libs are and what voting for Democrats gets you.
Good.

Daniel Day Lewis is in it in a comedic role, his driving partner is a midget, and there's a scene where they get drunk and he has to toss his partner into the truck.
I just want to see DDL tossing a midget.

This is not surprising. I like Musk and his GFY attitude, but we all knew right from the moment he went MAGA that eventually he was going to flake out. I'll admit I thought it would take longer - I was guessing late summer - but he barely made it three months before starting to flake, and only about three weeks after that to fully arrive.
I wish him well, but I don't care if he goes on to other things, as long as he doesn't go out of his way to hose things up for the rest of us (which he will, of course, probably do). He's not a bad guy. He's an autistic genius with unlimited resources and nobody to tell him when to tap the brakes. Trying to predict him is a fool's errand.

Normal, healthy behavior and life choices--that everyone used to do--are now considered "right wing" and wrong.
More hilarious: Those feminists of 10 years ago are secretly despondent on the socials now. Seeing their married friends starting families.

I suspect Elon is in his "Mr. Elon goes to Washington" era, aka Trump in 2016. It really is amazing how much ridiculousness has to happen in DC to get anything done. It's eye opening when you see it and the masks all get ripped off. But it can't change overnight though Trump is moving fast. He also has to be daddy Trump to the world and play peacemaker. Lots to do, complicated business!
The two problems with Elon protesting too much, methinks, are:
1) Americans DO need tax relief, and tax relief involves more money now, but that will be offset by other bills implementing DOGE cuts later (fingers crossed),
2) Elon is unhappy that some of the cuts Trump wants to implement are to Elon's own companies, especially SpaceX. It's super easy to slash someone else's budget, Elon, it's harder when it's your own. Walk the walk.
I DO feel we are long overdue for a new political party, though. The two main ones are entrenched, greedy, self serving dinosaurs, wallowing in a sewer swamp of corruption and graft. This is known. But how to make a successful new party like the Republicans did? That's the million dollar question.

I'm not saying the ad execs SHOULD try to do that, but I'm saying that kind of despair among their ranks would be understood.

Of course, Wall Street mouthpieces are slobbering over the prospect of several TRILLION extra dollars of lending power, being tossed into the system. This smacks of criminal insanity. Simultaneously, we have Trump bloviating about "...interest rates should be 1% NOW..." and "...I won't appoint anyone who won't lower interest rates...".

Here's my take: Republicans as a party formed pre-civil war, when states were still like fiercely independent mini countries. And Marxism hadn't infected everything yet. The war plus marxism erased the lines between states, for good or ill. And Marxism added a level or grievance envy and wrath to politics we now have to contend with.
Also, the early republicans had two main platforms, creating simple messaging:
1) The Democrats are corrupt and the Whigs are impotent, follow us, and
2) We will destroy the two "twin pillars of barbarism" (their actual words): slavery and polygamy.
Simple, effective messages and goals.
(Yes, I am aware it's ironic the LDS church is labeled as republican and red state, when the early church was fiercely persecuted by the Republican party due to polygamy.)

2) We will destroy the two "twin pillars of barbarism" (their actual words): slavery and polygamy.
Simple, effective messages and goals.
(Yes, I am aware it's ironic the LDS church is labeled as republican and red state, when the early church was fiercely persecuted by the Republican party due to polygamy.)

The Whigs were moribund as a national party when the Northern Whigs joined with some other small parties to form the GOP. They more or less carried on other Whig issues like sponsoring internal improvements in states for aiding business and trade. Agitation enhanced the Free Soil portion of the overall ticket. They had the advantage of no longer having the Southern Pro Slavery Whigs to paralyze the party.
I like the inclusion of Sumner's speech, but that just got him a beating.

State Department Revokes Visa for Immigrant British Rapper Who Chanted "Death Death to the IDF" at BBC-Broadcasted Music Festival
He had all the rich white twats in attendance -- tickets are 390 pounds -- chanting it too.
The State Department announced Monday that it revoked visas for a British rap group after it called for the death of Israeli soldiers onstage over the weekend. Members of the Bob Vylan band no longer can travel to the U.S. "in light of their hateful tirade ... including leading the crowd in death chants" at a Saturday music festival in the U.K., Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a Monday X post. The State Department's action aligns with the Trump administration's policy of renewed scrutiny of foreigners' visas over alleged hostility toward American values or national security. "Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Landau said. Bob Vylan did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. The group was scheduled to perform in the U.S. during a music tour that begins in October, The Standard reported.

Rap was all the decadent things the Moral Majority said about long hair rock in the 50s. I think a lot of people just thought - "OK grandpa, the future is now old man" and dismissed the impact it would have on parts of our culture.
Maybe because of my heritage, I am very sensitive to how things appear. I imagine people around the world looking at US pop with women sticking their asses in the air and the songs about sex and drugs and glorifying murder. This is not a culture to be proud of.

Yeah, it originally started when I saw "Bobby Vee." Then I remembered the NC State coach was Jimmy V, not Bobby.
So I figured I would go as far away from reality as possible, with there still being some marginal connection. So Bobby Vinson becomes Vada Pinson.

There has been some heated discussions about that. I don't disagree, but some people point out that the military structure, the people that are still there wouldn't have it. Pakistan obviously isn't in that equation, but France and England certainly are.
Others have said those militaries are being infiltrated by Muslims daily, and they're radical, and will if it suits their inclinations, disobey orders and launch on whomever they feel is in their way.
It's complicated to launch nuclear weapons. It's not complicated to get to the point where you can.

Others have said those militaries are being infiltrated by Muslims daily, and they're radical, and will if it suits their inclinations, disobey orders and launch on whomever they feel is in their way.
It's complicated to launch nuclear weapons. It's not complicated to get to the point where you can.

I didn't know about the crapper's death to Israel stuff at first. I first saw a video of this creature prancing around in his dad's underwear sneering at the native population of Britain for existing. And by extension, us. And the crowd loved it.
This is a facet of the same rotten mass as the Pakistani gang grooming scandal. It's not just one shitty individual. The whole British establishment is in on it. It's why native Britons get jailed for simply stating the truth.
This can't go on. There will be a social inflection point or fracture where these devious monsters start to lose control.

Among the stinkers who got in by Veterans Committee vote was Lloyd Waner.
The great writer, Bill James, upon noting that there had been the rather snide suggestion that Lloyd got in because the committee accidentally looked at his brother's stats when they voted him in.
James then subsequently said, "No, that can't be true, because it would have been the first time the Veterans Committee ever looked at statistics!"

And as many on the Left are eager to point out, since Israel has "universal; service," it means thsat EVERYONE in Israel, both genders, has to spend a year or two in the IDF when they're 18 or 19, so that technically ALL ISRAELIS "are IDF." So this is a call to kill any and all Israelis, anywhere you see them. Open season. Which is jjst one step away from open season on all Jews.

I never saw him get fooled on a play. Being a Cardinals fan my whole life (until I quit sportsball), I watched him, I watched Willie McGee, and I've seen all the highlight reels of Curt Flood.
Both McGee and Flood were fast enough to make up for their mistakes... most of the time. But not always. Edmonds never made mistakes.

Want to see a really great fielder? Watch footage of Barry Bonds. Someone would hit the ball, they'd cut to Bonds just standing there waiting for the ball to get to him. He knew based on the pitcher, the catcher, and the batter where the ball was likely to go and just walked over there. When the ball was out of the park, he'd be leaning hands on his thighs as the ball was way out no chance to get.
That is serious talent and skill. Its just not highlight reel material.

Yeah, Bonds was unquestionably the greatest defensive left fielder in history.
But that's almost like saying your girlfriend is the cleanest gal working in the whorehouse.
I always figured he played left and not center because of his ego. He would have been compared to others, and might not have come out on top.

Mantle is the perfect example of the argument for Peak Value versus Career Value.
He got hurt relatively early in his career. His fielding was never the same after that. Before that, he was at least as good as Mays in the field... and better at the plate.

I suspect Elon is in his "Mr. Elon goes to Washington" era, aka Trump in 2016. It really is amazing how much ridiculousness has to happen in DC to get anything done.
The two problems with him protesting too much are:
1) Americans DO need tax relief, and tax relief involves more money now, but that will be offset by other bills implementing all the DOGE cuts (fingers crossed),
2) Elon is unhappy that some of the cuts Trump wants to implement are to Elon's own companies, especially SpaceX. It's super easy to slash someone else's budget, Elon, it's harder when it's your own. Walk the walk.
I do feel we are long overdue for a new political party, though; the two main ones are entrenched in greedy self serving dinosaurs and a sewer swamp of corruption and graft.

We have or had a lovely, tasteful Juneteenth flag - red, white, and blue - to commemorate the end of slavery in the United State & the celebration of Black freedom and American identity.
And so, why in a few years has a new flag emerged for Juneteenth, one with Pan-African flag colors and often including a raised fist? Or the garden flags which state, "July 4th Juneteenth 1985 because my ancestors weren't free in 1776."
Yeah, I get it. The Pan-African flag and colors represents the unity and liberation of the people of African descent worldwide.
What about the Confederate flag? Oh, I see, it's controversial due to its ties to slavery and the Confederacy; nothing to do with Southern heritage.
Following the tragic 2015 Charleston church shooting, where nine African Americans were murdered by a young, white supremacist with autism, the Confederate flag was removed from the SC State House grounds & other locations, a direct response to the massacre and the flag's association with racial division and white supremacy.
It was also restricted for display & sale in/from many other US areas.
All in< 10 years.

"Thousands" of Migrant Children Trafficked Into Forced Child Prostitution Under Stutterin' Joe Biden Are Now Being Rescued by ICE
Why do all the things the Democrat Media tells us never happen keep happening?
A few weeks ago a Maryland Man was arrested for raping the teenaged illegal alien girl that Biden placed her with. He immediately forced her into sex. But the important thing is, she got to remain in America while being raped every day.
"Thousands" of migrant children who disappeared after being smuggled across the US-Mexico border under the Biden administration have been rescued from grim fates such as being sex-trafficked to pedophiles, according to border czar Tom Homan -- who revealed that a 14-year-old pregnant girl was found living with adult men just two weeks ago. In the latest episode of Miranda Devine's "Pod Force One" podcast, Homan said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have also located minors who were forced into servitude on ranches and chicken farms, as the agency searches for hundreds of thousands of migrant children unaccounted for during President Joe Biden's four-year illegal alien invasion. "There were 300,000 missing children under the last administration," said Homan. "We've found thousands of them ... We rescued victims of sex trafficking [and] two weeks ago, we rescued a 14-year-old that was already pregnant, living with adult men ... "We rescued some victims of forced labor. We found children working on ranches and chicken farms, not going to school, but enslaved labor in the United States of America ...
"Some of the children we found [were] perfectly fine with their families ... They just didn't respond to call-ins [because they] didn't want to face the consequences of immigration court." The number of unaccompanied alien children [UACs] entering the US surged to record levels under Biden, as changes to border enforcement policies incentivized families and smugglers to send minors to America. More than 500,000 children were recorded entering the country and were placed with sponsors while awaiting immigration proceedings. A report last August from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General found that the Biden administration lost track of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children and placed some with potentially dangerous sponsors who had not been adequately vetted. More than 31,000 addresses provided by sponsors turned out to be "blank, undeliverable, or missing apartment numbers," the inspector general reported. At one location, "sponsor addresses were incorrect 80 percent of the time." ICE officers at one field office also told the inspector general that thousands of migrant children had been released to sponsors "who are not immediate family and are not a parent, sibling, or grandparent." HHS released more than 14,500 migrant children in 2023 and more than 9,600 in 2024 "to unrelated sponsors" or distant relatives. ... Homan told "Pod Force One" that the Biden administration rushed the vetting process to avoid the "optics" of overcrowding at the border. "They didn't care about the invasion itself; it was the optics." DNA tests were routinely used during the first Trump administration to verify that an adult accompanying a child really was the parent, he said, but the Biden administration abandoned that policy. Homan said in some of the DNA testing "as high as 30 percent [of] the families weren't families. Not relatives at all. The [children] were being trafficked...
"A lot of parents paid a smuggling organization to bring their kids [over the border]. Some of these children were trafficked. We know HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] had several investigations where a child was rented by the criminal cartel to an adult male or female, crossed the border [and] when you're done, you send the kid back [and] re-rent them." Homan had harsh words for Democrat politicians like Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) who he said are "screaming and yelling about ICE arresting people and ICE enforcing the law. Meanwhile, in four years under Biden ... sex trafficking of women and children skyrocketed, not a word." "Thousands of children were being smuggled into the country every week. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States. Separated from their families, put into the hands of criminal cartels... not a word."
@BillMelugin_An ICE raid on a meatpacking plant resulted in 76 arrests of illegals. Some illegals were using stolen social security numbers, casting some doubt on the claim that they're Mostly Lawful.
BREAKING: DHS has announced it is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than half a million Haitians in the U.S., arguing that conditions in Haiti have improved enough for them to return home, and allowing the Haitians to remain is contrary to the national interest of the U.S. TPS for these Haitians will expire on 8/3/2025 and the termination will take effect on 9/2/2025, effectively giving the Haitians a little more than 2 months to leave the country or find another form of relief or legal status. DHS statement: "This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary," said a DHS spokesperson. "The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department's resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible."
Mostly Lawful, Mostly Peaceful. Meanwhile, the "Alligator Alcatraz" for illegal aliens will open tomorrow in a Florida swamp. The facility will hold 3000 illegals. DeSantis says he needs it because there are so many illegal alien criminals and he needs the jailspace for domestic offenders. He had it built in a literal alligator-infested swamp in just a week. The left is crying alligator tears:
In Nebraska, the state's largest worksite immigration raid sent a chilling effect across the city of Omaha this month when federal immigration authorities arrested 76 employees of a meatpacking plant. About a dozen of them have already been deported or transferred to out-of-state custody. Sixty-three others remain in immigration custody at the Lincoln County Detention Center in Nebraska. Federal authorities accuse the workers of using stolen identities from U.S. citizens to unlawfully gain employment at Glenn Valley Foods, a meatpacking plant that has been processing boxed beef for more than 15 years. The Center for Immigrant Refugee and Advancement, an immigrant rights organization in Omaha, provided legal consultations to most of them. Anne Wurth, the group's associate legal director, told NBC News they are "honest, hardworking individuals in our community" who have also been victims of an immigration system that "does not provide enough pathways" to remain in the country legally. "That's not true," said Elhrick Cerdan, the assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Nebraska, who led the enforcement operation at Glenn Valley Foods. In an interview, Cerdan rejected "this narrative that these hardworking illegal immigrants were just doing their daily job and trying to earn wages." "They were stealing the identities of over a hundred U.S. citizens," Cerdan said. Seven people have been charged in connection with the events surrounding the raid at Glenn Valley Foods. Only one of them faces charges of using someone else's Social Security number, court records showed as of Wednesday. "That number could change," Cerdan said, because the investigation continues. Four protesters, including two U.S. citizens who worked at the plant, face charges accusing them of jumping on law enforcement vehicles as they escorted detainees out of the facility, according to court records. A Honduran national was charged with resisting arrest and displaying a box cutter when agents tried to apprehend him. A Mexican national is charged with unlawful re-entry into the United States. An employee who was arrested was charged with false representation of a Social Security number.

My grandparents immigrated here in the 50s legally, and their process to become a citizen involved sponsorship and employment. They were basically indentured servants for that employer, and accountable to the sponsor, until they had put in their dues to get legalized. I think that program was shuttered (probably by liberals) because they worried about it being unfair and burdensome.
But THIS is ok? We ditched that system and opened the US up to rampant illegal immigration, so illegally trafficked children can be smuggled here to work on farms as slaves? And liberals are fine with this? Hell no.
The liberals ok with child slavery in the US, so they can have cheap gardeners and maids, and shrieking about the loss of their gardeners and maids on camera, can go to hell. Kids not getting raped trumps your bougie comforts.

That's what drives a lot of the normie reaction to a wave of immigration "but they just want a better life, they are fleeing bad things! How can you tell them no???"
This is part of why there was such a visceral, angry reaction to Sound of Freedom. Objectively a movie no sane or decent person could conceivably condemn.
But it brought to light a horrific evil in a very personal and visual way. A way that hits home, hard, in the soul of people watching it.
For most of these people children being trafficked is pretty abstract and theoretical, probably a right wing exaggeration, and besides I don't want to think about it beause that's so awful.
But Sound of Freedom shoved it into their faces. And well the elite cannot have that now can they? Where would they get little Consuela and Maria and Juan to "entertain" them after a few lines of coke and a shot of adrenochrome at the spirit baking party?

Their feelings matter more than your facts, stop mansplaining. There is a deeper truth here that cold heartless facts cannot explain. How Brooklyn the Wine Box afficinado feels about the poor Haitian fleeing misery and brutality in their home matters more than what you say about how that Haitian has acted or will act.

in the wake of the satanic daycare claims, it became policy to interview a minor once, with LE, medical and psych evaluation in attendance. The hope was that with a single interview there would be less "additional" testimony brought in by the minor, who may be trying to be a good kid and complying with any request for information. It also is a way of reducing the stress on a kid who is already stressed horribly.
Minors have the right to opt out of any examination, or interview. There are CACs in every state, and though they are not perfect, they seem to be better than any other attempt. The interview informs LE on whether a case can be pushed forward or not, and what care may be needed for the child. some of it may be abusive by the state, but there is a need to evaluate claims of abuse for the courts.
I am kind of stressed out about this siht right now, sorry.

I am actually fine with making it cheaper and easier to immigrate legally. The system is slow, expensive, and requires a lot of steps requiring assistance to complete.

Pizzagate is starting to look real, eh? How do you "misplace" hundreds of thousands of children?
I have always wondered, with the military age men arriving over the border and not many females with kids...were the coyotes paid by families to take the kids "for a better life?" Or were the kids kidnapped, never to be seen again? Some to small to even know their last name or where they came from, bless their hearts.
Nothing makes me madder than child abuse of any kind. Hell is too good for these people.

Indeed, narcissism is not "empathy". "Empathy" sounds like a good quality, so of course, they have it and you don't.
If they were "driven by empathy" some of them would have been a little alarmed by Trump ralliers being assaulted as they walked to and from a Trump rally.
I know, because if I were told that Trans-ralliers were simply, causally assaulted simply for walking to an event that other people didn't agree with, I could separate disagreeing with the cause of the rally from inflicting physical harm on people walking down the street.

That's because you have sympathy. You feel bad for what they ha to go through because it was bad and you are able to sympathize with people facing hardship and pain. You recognize that it sucks to have that happen because of experience in your past and feel for that other person. That is not empathy.
Empathy is entirely inwardly focused. Empathy is you feeling bad because you imagine yourself in that place and wouldn't like YOU to go through it. Empathy is not about concern or care for others, its about care for yourself. That means if you disagree with the other person, well that's not you, that would never happen to you because you're not like that.

You bring up a good point that maybe in past people were emotionally mature when younger. I can believe that but in our current culture many people are very immature well into the 20s.
To me, that is the point. These people are not attracted to youth and beauty, but to the defilement of the innocent. It is about power and rape. It is the Left's urge to destroy, which they do in so many ways in society, brought down on the the most vulnerable.

We moved to FL when our boys were babies. One morning I was walking with the toddler holding on to the stroller, and 6 months old infant in the stroller.
We had about 2 acres between us and the houses behind us due to a large drainage ditch, that was basically a canal. Chain lengh fenced backyard.
I was on the sidewalk with my boys near the culvert, and suddenly saw a 10' gator sunning himself (it was winter), about 20' from the sidewalk. Well, I should have gone backwards at a fast clip, but instead kept walking briskly and turned around to point the gator out to the toddler. He says he still remembers this.
About this time I'd seen in the paper that a gator climbed over a chain length fence to get a dog. A gator can also sprint at 45mph for a bit.
So I got home and called Animal Control WHO LAUGHED AT ME. Which was rude. He asked if the gator was trying to get my dog. I said, no dog but I have babies. No care!

Politico: Kamala Harris Is Reaching Out to Democrat Leaders About a Bid for California Governor But "No One Is Incredibly Pumped"
Well I am. I bet most of you guys are too.
I want to hear more about what can be (jazz hand high left) unburdened by what has been (jazz hand low right). But we're not the people Politico is talking about. They're talking about Democrat donors not wanting to give her their money.Kamala Harris is ramping up her outreach to longtime supporters as she weighs a run for California governor. But many Democratic donors aren't enthusiastic, still hobbled by the hangover of her presidential loss. Some party funders have privately shared that ambivalence with each other as Harris has embarked on a quiet schedule of thank you visits, catch-up calls and listening sessions, touching base with her most trusted supporters as she weighs her options. The former vice president has tasked aides with exploring several paths, including not just a campaign for political office but also a philanthropic venture.Let me translate: What she really wants is to create a donation-sucking grift machine like Hillary Clinton did which will provide her with a salary, a floor of offices, a hired car and multiple drivers, and the illusion of prestige and influence. But if she can't have that, her back-up plan is running for governor and maybe losing. And worse, maybe winning. In other words: this is a threat. Set me up with a Clinton Foundation style grift, or I'll run for office, and I just might win and finish killing off the dying state.
As Mark Halperin always says, Kamala Harris simply does not like making decisions. And here she is again, unsure of what she should do. Instead of deciding for herself, she's asking other people to choose for her. He pointed out that Democrat donors are going to be even less inclined to donate to her due to her unable to decide if she even wants to be governor. It shows she lacks "fire in the belly" for the position.
In interviews, several major donors in the state told POLITICO they fear her reemergence as a candidate would re-open still-fresh wounds from her defeat in 2024. Some harbor lingering frustration about how her billion-dollar campaign juggernaut ended in debt and want assurances she would have a clear plan to win the governor's mansion. Others are impatient for Harris to start publicly making her case for why she'd want the job. "There was more enthusiasm at first," said Mather Martin, a San Francisco-based fundraiser who has worked for past Harris campaigns. "I think it waned a bit." One California Democrat who contributed six-figures to her presidential bid said a Harris candidacy would only serve as a reminder of how "traumatizing" the last election was. "Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete shit storm. With Biden, we got bamboozled ... I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too," the donor said. "I've written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we're living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I'm furious at them, truly." Close Harris allies acknowledge the sting of Harris' failed White House bid has not fully dissipated among the donor class...
While still considering all her options, including running for president again, Harris' focus has been skewed toward a 2026 gubernatorial bid, since that is the most immediate decision to be made, according to a person close to her. The former vice president, who can be painstakingly deliberative, has been steadily collecting input and opinions from her allies to weigh the pros and cons of seeking her home state's top gig.
... Donors "realize it's just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it's the whole 'Did you know Joe Biden?' thing," said one Southern California fundraiser who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. "She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped." Harris has yet to weigh in on the topic which has roiled her party, even as Antonio Villaraigosa, a fellow Democrat who is running for governor, has accused her of being complicit in a cover-up. Even some of her supporters are antsy for her to address the issue head-on, believing she'll have to swiftly dispense with that question before she can make a positive case for her candidacy. Others in the finance world say that so long as Harris plays coy about her plans, she's giving little for would-be supporters to rally around. "It's very fair to say there's not an overwhelming clamor" for her candidacy, said Scott Drexel, a Bay Area-based donor adviser who works with individuals, labor groups and businesses. "It's very hard for there to be one if it's not 100 percent clear if she really wants to do it."So she is weighing three possibilities: Running for governor, which she plainly does not want to do, running for president which maybe she wants to do but it's silly, or her real preference, starting a Clinton-like "foundation" to grift money and get paid a high salary and granted expensive billionaire-class perks (like a 24-hour a day chauffeur) while pretending to administer what is claimed to be a "charity." She won't get that, either. Hillary Clinton was able to get her grift funded because donors were paying for her to be a candidate-in-waiting. The Clinton Foundation was a grift to make sure all of Hillary's top people had jobs so they'd stay with her rather than defecting to other Democrats. Kamala Harris is not going to be supported by donors to be a candidate-in-waiting. Polling shows that Kamala Harris is in second place in the race to be the Democrat presidential nominee. First place goes to... Pete Bootyjudge.
Not only has Kamala Kollapsed in the latest poll of 2028 Democrat contenders, no one's excited about her potential run for California governor. And now we come to the poll... A poll that must have Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio going full bro with the high fives... Failed former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg: 16 percent Failed 2024 presidential contender Kamala Harris: 13 percent Failed Gov. Gavin Newsom: 12 percent Too Jewish-for-Antisemitic-Democrat-Party Gov. Josh Shapiro: 7 percentSanders also gets 5%.
Alexandria Ocasio-Crazy: 7 percent
That leaves 35 percent undecided.So is Buttigieg the front-runner? The political "top," if you will? Well, check out his big hole that needs filling:

I think she'll bow out of the governor's race without entering it when she doesn't get donor support. The CA machine has its pecking order, and she left that order when she became VP.
However, the idea that she won't run for president seems...weird. Of course she's going to run. She's next in line.

Some moron also posited that these grifting "charities" were scaffolded by big donors but actually got the vast bulk of their money from taxpayer-funded NGOs. I hope that's true, because it means Kamala's ambition to sit on a pile of cash is slightly less feasible than in days of yore.

No reason why she can’t govern CA for one term to show what kind of leadership she has to those who doubted her and then run for Pres later on. She’d be 64 at that point.
Given how heinous this administration has been so far, she would make a killing from regret votes in a gov race. She should definitely do it. Though i would be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer more progressive leadership like Katie Porter.
if Harris wanted the governor seat her team SERIOUSLY fumbled by advising her to be so low key for so long. She's going to have to come out of the gate swinging and STAY swinging. Especially as Cali is fastly becoming an epicenter of resistance against the current regime.
Katie Porter is going to run and she’s one of my favorite people because she is really a populist when it comes economic and I love her so this is going to be an interesting race between the powerful and the grassroots

She may declare, but even that has a minuscule probability. Without a base of support, which she emphatically does not have, she loses even more if she exposes that lack of support.
It's weird to think that the DNC is going to to forget about her crash and burn in the last primary, her presence as a continual reminder of Biden, and her landslide loss to Trump and decide to support her at all.
Reality is the Dem candidate is likely to come out of left field (heh) and is not on any list we've seen.

Her losing SC in the general literally doesn't mean anything regarding her potential performance in the Democrat primary in South Carolina, which the DNC moved up in the calendar to be first in the nation.
The electorate of Democrats in South Carolina is predominantly black and predominantly female. She'll win the first primary contest easily. And SC's elections are actually quite clean.
This ain't the fake bullshit that is Iowa's caucuses (which Buttigieg won in 2020).

1. Polls on potential Democrat candidates mean, absolutely, nothing. The Dem primary voters decide NOTHING. Time and time again, the Democrat apparatus chooses the candidate, then tailors everything to get that result. (They even handed Obama that candidacy even though it's likely that Hillary was beating him...some of us recall her actually holding the Dem party hostage for a few days in response).
2. Whoever is picked will have to appeal to Jim Clyburn (SC)...whose cheating apparatus extends into all the Swing states. The biggest problem with 2024 was that Clyburn fully supported Biden. He wasn't a fan of Harris. And, instead of the 3am cheat dump, Clyburn let it pass. His name was even on the potential Pardon list as a result of his past performances.

Sunny Hostin doesn't have to ask her any more stumpers--she's probably learned her lesson and does not want to jeopardize the Democratic party anymore. Harris doesn't have a Joe Biden to follow, and she's free to disagree with what Newsom has done with the state, isn't she?

his suit is laughable, just for the publicity.
this is his claim, shortened up:
Trump called Gavin about the riots on a Friday, they talked for 16 minutes. On Monday a reporter asked Trump, did you talk to Gavin? Trump said "Yeah we talked about a day ago, I told him I was ready to help."
Then they asked Gavin and he said "He never called! We never spoke! Trump is senile and losing his mind!" Then phone records showed Gavin was lying, and Fox reported that Gavin had lied about the call.
Gavin's lawsuit (seriously): "I wasn't lying because Trump said we talked a day ago, and it was actually 3 days ago! Fox defamed me! When I said we never talked, he never called, I only meant the last 24 hours, really! I didn't mean Friday too!"
The entire thing is really what I'd expect from a 3rd grader having a playground fight.

"See you in court, @FoxNews."
Posted by: m at June 30, 2025 03:44 PM (CQE5S)
his suit is laughable, just for the publicity.
this is his claim, shortened up:
Trump called Gavin about the riots on a Friday, they talked for 16 minutes. On Monday a reporter asked Trump, did you talk to Gavin? Trump said "Yeah we talked about a day ago, I told him I was ready to help."
Then they asked Gavin and he said "He never called! We never spoke! Trump is senile and losing his mind!" Then phone records showed Gavin was lying, and Fox reported that Gavin had lied about the call.
Gavin's lawsuit (seriously): "I wasn't lying because Trump said we talked a day ago, and it was actually 3 days ago! Fox defamed me! When I said we never talked, he never called, I only meant the last 24 hours, really! I didn't mean Friday too!"
The entire thing is really what I'd expect from a 3rd grader having a playground fight.

Agreed. None of the existing Dem candidates have ANY crossover appeal. They get about 33% of the Dem vote and 0% of the GOP and independent vote.
They need someone entirely "new" to the national stage.
Problem s, they don't have anyone.

If you make it to Utah, their "Mighty 5" national parks (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion) are stunning. There are also some great state/tribal parks: Dead Horse Point (with the famous overlook of the horseshoe bend of the CO river), Coral Reef (pink sand!), the hoodoos at Goblin Valley (Where Galaxy Quest was filmed), and Monument Valley (westerns!).
You'll also see why it's ridiculous that they refuse to open up even 2% of Utah's national parkland for development, because there is sooooo much of it. So, so much. Plan for hours of beautiful gorgeous nothingness between the parks.

When she and Bernie, together, start promising all of the Free, they'll get around 10 - 15% of the vote.
Free healthcare, free housing, free college, free food.
They're going to promise to free everything they can think of from the profit motive. They're going to take the Madmani playbook and nationalize it.
And a lot of dumbasses will hear "Free" and vote for them.
I'm not saying they'll win anything, but they'll put a big dent in the Dems score.

____________________________
That is misleading, IMO. I still believe that the "billionaire donors" were merely associated with the donations for legitimacy. Any significant amounts that were donated to PAC's were likely the tail end of federal monies run through "the process."
Established foundation takes in a large grant or appropriation. They serve as a money depot who then distributes to the first round of recipients, who take a cut and pass it on to round two of recipients. Some of these moneys may even return to their original amounts in one of the latter rounds of recipients. Significant sums are sent to foundation established by these billionaires, who pass on a bulk sum to the PAC.
It's not their money. The process was greatly hindered by DOGE, so these Dem billionaires are more reluctant to donate (since it would have to be their own money this time).

The fix was in for Biden from the start. They basically aborted the Iowa Caucus just so nobody could claim momentum until a real primary happens as is customary for the press.
You could set your watch as scandals dropped one by one on anyone not named Biden to get them out. Then they started dropping 'voluntarily' for no reason.

I developed a theory late 2024 that party registration changes within a state were more accurate at predicting general election outcomes than polling.
PA has gone from a D advantage of 1 million in 2016 to about 170K today.
It's the season of mostly just losing registrations as they fall off due to inactivity, but D's have lost 182K this year alone. R's have lost 76K in comparison.

There was a big scandal when someone looked at the Gender Balance on their dead list and noticed that the innocent victims were mostly military age males, rather than be even or skewed to women and children since the fighters have access to shelters and the human shields do not. Even Hamas had to admit some error.
This might be a way of faking up the stats. I have been seeing a new slew of grift begging for Hamas support too.

Whatever reason people liked Nixon in '68 they showed they really meant it in '72 when Nixon crushed McGovern.
If he'd dropped his people involved in Watergate like Reagan did the people involved with Iran-Contra, Nixon could've survived it. But he dug his heels in and fought the press and Dems like he'd been doing since he lost to Kennedy.
It turned out to be his undoing when the Watergate tapes came out and even the GOP dropped him like a hot potato.

Only 4 building permits were approved in March. FOUR.
Today is the last day for residents to get their lots cleared, unless you got a permit earlier in the month. If you didn't the city will clear it for you and slap a lien on your property.
But the city declared the ash left over from the rubble a hazard. Supposedly the city's red tape is not letting them even clear their own land, at least not easily. There has to be environmental inspections and special companies to clear it out for you, and they are swamped with work and it's slow.

The large donors and the NGOs are both major factors.
I think that it will be harder to break the NGOs than the donors. Party donations from wholly Party organizations will be more forthcoming than from private organizations just looking to purchase influence as an overhead expense.
A lot of NGO money laundering got rolled up this year, but not even close to all of it. It will continue apace, for the most part.
But private donors want to buy stability. If they can't have it for love or money, they'll just shut the taps to everyone.

Part of the rally is due to falling, get this, inflation.U.S. markets surged to fresh record highs Friday as investors responded positively to a trio of developments: easing inflation, the formal end of the Iran-Israel war, and progress on President Trump's tax legislation in Congress. Key Details: The S&P 500 closed at a record 6,173.07, with the Dow and Nasdaq also finishing at all-time highs, fueled by strength in tech, energy, and industrial sectors.Gas prices will fall to their lowest level in years for summer driving season.
New inflation data showed core PCE rose just 0.2% in May, with annual core inflation at 2.7%--supporting Trump's argument that tariffs haven't reignited price pressures.
A U.S.-brokered peace deal officially ended hostilities between Israel and Iran, removing a key global risk and driving oil prices sharply lower. Diving Deeper: Wall Street ended the week on a high note Friday, with all three major indexes closing at record levels amid a cascade of favorable developments for the Trump White House and the broader U.S. economy. The S&P 500 rose 0.52% to 6,173.07, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite followed suit, hitting new peaks. The gains came despite a midday dip sparked by President Trump's announcement that trade negotiations with Canada had been terminated. Markets quickly shrugged off the news, rallying strongly into the close. Fueling the optimism was the release of new inflation data showing that prices are rising more slowly than anticipated, even after the administration's aggressive use of tariffs. The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index--a key inflation gauge favored by the Federal Reserve--ticked up just 0.2% in May. On an annual basis, core prices rose 2.7%, while the headline rate stood at 2.3%. Notably, consumer inflation expectations also dropped, with one prominent sentiment survey showing the expected one-year rate falling from 6.6% to 5%. ... As the week closed, the prevailing mood on Wall Street was one of optimism. With inflation cooling, global tensions easing, and economic policy advancing, traders are increasingly betting on a supportive environment for markets heading into the second half of the year.
According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, gas prices are likely on track to reach their lowest levels in several years. If current trends continue, Americans could see the national average dip below $3 per gallon by September. "This is shaping up to be the cheapest summer since 2021," De Haan said, referencing the COVID-era market conditions that temporarily deflated demand and prices. Although gas prices ticked up in early June due to the Israel-Iran conflict, the ceasefire between the two nations has helped stabilize global oil markets. That stabilization, De Haan says, should allow for a "slow decline" in prices through the remainder of the summer.
A European economist now reverses his prior dire predictions about Trump's tariff agenda and admits Trump has "outsmarted all of us."
I love when Europeans tell us that tariffs will cause the US inflation and harm our economy while all the European nations have stiff tariffs to keep out US goods because they believe the tariffs help their economies.
A world-renowned economist has changed his tune on President Donald Trump's tariffs. Torsten Sløk, a chief economist at Apollo Global Management, posted a new note admitting that his initial reaction to the policy may have been wrong. 'Maybe the administration has outsmarted all of us,' he wrote. The admission comes just months after Sløk warned the tariffs would be 'painful' and economically destabilizing. Experts speaking to DailyMail.com warned that Americans should take his note with a grain of salt. But now, he's framing the President's policy as a clever long-game -- one that invites global negotiation while increasing federal revenue. In the note, Sløk outlined a potential scenario: the White House could maintain its current tariff rates -- 10 percent on most imports, 30 percent on Chinese goods -- and give trade partners a year to negotiate with the White House. Extending the current 90-day pause on new tariffs, he argued, would give American companies time to plan ahead and could help stabilize markets. 'This would seem like a victory for the world and yet would produce $400 billion of annual revenue for US taxpayers,' he added. The timing is key. Trump's 90-day pause on new tariffs, announced in April, is set to expire on July 9. Without an extension, the tariffs would immediately increase, with billions of dollars worth of products suddenly incurring more taxes. But if the President extends the pause but keeps tariffs where they are, Sløk says the policy could offer clarity for companies and leverage in negotiations. Sløk's sudden, tepid support for the tariffs is an about-face. He initially criticized the import taxes, saying they threatened business stability, Wall Street's record highs, and the stability of US treasury bonds.

I can see why people expected them to be, based on economics in a vacuum and a lack of understanding tariffs or what Trump was doing.
It sounds reasonable: you are raising the expenses on business, and they will just pass that on to the customers, raising prices. Its like when governments raise taxes on business.
The problem is, that's not how the tariffs were implemented, tariffs are not on most goods that Americans purchase regularly, and they were being used mostly as a negotiation tool, not a permanent imposition. Yes, our tariffs on most other countries have gone up, but they also have gone down on us in other countries.

Its not about the truth for them, its about power. It doesn't matter if what they say is true or not, only that they can gain power back by saying it. Like Schumer's "it worked didn't it?" crack.
If you think truth is relative and there is no right and wrong, lying is just a way of achieving goals.

Except that never happened, since interest rates are barely off of historic lows.
Which people at point realized was a problem since they couldn't go lower (that is to say, negative), without some fairly obvious repercussions.
In the long term, rates should be at least double where they are now, but people want to pretend they're high only because they're looking at interest on the irresponsible levels of debt that have accumulated.

Even that's weak sauce because it suggests that all Trump did was be smarter than the experts. He wasn't smarter than them. They were all just braindead retards. What Trump did wasn't "smart" -- it was basic, common sense Econ 101.
If you're about to shoot yourself in the face, and someone says "hey don't do that," but you shoot yourself anyway, that somebody didn't "outsmart" you. You're just a fucking imbecile.

Powell has definitely gotten out of his lane and claiming he's only talking about "inflation" to hide his criticism of the tariffs says a lot about him and who he's really working for; the big banks and global financial market.
The WEF Crowd doesn't like tariffs, so they'll keep the rates up and get their money in interest payments on the national debt.
Powell can't leave soon enough.
If we had any concept of honor left in this country, among our politicians and bureaucrats, Powell would've resigned after lying about inflation for two years and then having to reverse course all the way to 4.5% Fed Funds Rate when the lies stopped working.
The FFR should be cut by a half or full basis point immediately and help Bessent out on the payments on those huge debt bombs Biden-Yellen left us.

Today it is 4.25 - 4.5%.
That is costing the treasury hundred of billions in extra interest payments on the debt this year because Biden and Yellen financed a lot of short-term debt because they believed rates would be going down.
They didn't and now Bessent is left holding the bag.
This isn't just about consumer and commercial loan interest it's about trying to stop the bleeding of wasted money on debt repayment.
That's the main reason Trump wants Powell gone.

I guess the question is 'What is the goal of the plan?'. It is widely known that you can fake a better economy in the short term by lowering rates, but sooner or later reality will have it's way.
And you can't reduce forever because once you get to 0, there's no good reason for anyone to invest (including keeping their money in a bank), and the whole system collapses.
If the plan is to put us in the best possible position for the collapse (and the aftermath) by moving as much manufacturing here before it happens, that's something, but I don't think that's what most people supporting Trump think the plan is.

BLUF, it's more of a political decision than an economic one.
With rare exception, unemployment and inflation tend to have an inverse relationship. The idea is that with a somewhat blunt instrument like monetary policy, coupled with the imperfect information we can get on the state of things, it's judged better to minimize unemployment to structural levels and accept the consequent inflation.
I'm skimming over a LOT in the mechanics, and will be ignoring people like LGD who are happy to say as nauseum that I don't know jack shit bc of my degree, but I offer this as a glimpse into the sausage factory.

That is, of course, the great irony.
The media institutions have been calling Trump and his voters Nazis for quite literally a decade now. He came down the escalator in 2015. 10 years. A decade.
Pure "You guys are Nazis. We're just trying to have a debate about trannies, and you're being all Nazi about it. Sweet Science, can we please just kill all the Nazis by punching them in the face until they die?"
And yet...here we are. Trump more popular than ever, the GOP more behind him than ever, and the DNC taking out loans to cover operating expenses.

4.33% in May, 2025. And yeah, zero for Biden, and zero for Barky Obama. Just up a little for Trump 45.
But they'd been lowering rates since 1985 to stimulate and fund their Huge Debt. Doesn't mean Lower Rates are always the answer ... zero rates just pushes people into (often) riskier investment, and inflates stocks.
Inflated stock markets make people feel rich, but the behemoths we created took control ... from the left. Reducing spending (via stopping all the theft and fraud) is better, but not easier I guess. Always have to buy those votes.

It may be possible to convince Powell to leave his position early. Some problems with his testimony about the Fed's $2.5 billion administrative palace renovation.
-------
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), a member of the committee, said Powell’s testimony was inaccurate and unprepared.
“He made a number of factually inaccurate statements to the Committee regarding the Fed’s plush private dining room and elevator, skylights, water features, and roof terrace,” Lummis said in a statement to the news publication.
“This is typical of the mismanagement and ‘don’t bother me’ attitude that Chair Powell has always shown.”

Canada Surrenders to Daddy Trump on Tax on Tech Services
Canada decided to join the EU in punishing US tech firms because they're mad that Elon Musk allows free speech.
I'm no fan of the social media companies but this is all about pressuring them to censor American citizens. Canada is now groveling like a totall-cucked nation.
President Donald Trump announced Friday he is ending trade talks with Canada over the northern neighbor's decision to impose a digital service tax on American technology companies. Trump called Canada's decision "a direct and blatant attack on our Country" in a Truth Social post. "They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," Trump also wrote. Canada is reportedly going ahead with the tax despite its inclusion in the Group of Seven (G7) agreement in which President Trump agreed to remove Section 899, also known as the revenge tax proposal, from his "Big Beautiful" tax bill, according to Bloomberg. The tax will require digital services companies like Meta to pay 3 percent of the digital services revenue they make on Canadian users above 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.6 million) in a calendar year, according to Bloomberg. Canada's tax will apply retroactively to 2022 and the country's Finance Department says the first payments will be due from digital companies Monday, Bloomberg reported. Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne hinted that the tax may be a potential piece of leverage in trade negotiations. "Obviously all of that is something that we're considering as part of broader discussions that you may have," he told Bloomberg. Trump concluded his Truth Social post with indications that the U.S. will retaliate. "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period," he wrote. Industry leaders applauded Trump's move. "This tax unfairly singles out American firms while local competitors skate by. Whether it's Brussels or Ottawa, President Trump is right to call them out and force this to change," John Czwartacki, co-founder and principal at Public Policy Solutions said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller.
Canada's government announced Sunday it will cancel a controversial tax on U.S. tech giants, prompting the resumption of trade negotiations with President Trump. The decision follows Trump's warning that Canada would face steep duties for what he called a "blatant attack" on American firms. Key Details: Prime Minister Mark Carney personally informed President Trump of the decision to withdraw the digital services tax during a Sunday conversation.
Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne also reengaged with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer the same day.
The tax, set to take effect Monday, was expected to cost American companies like Amazon, Google, and Apple over $2.7 billion due to its retroactive structure. Diving Deeper: Just two days after President Trump abruptly suspended bilateral trade talks over a digital tax targeting U.S. tech firms, Canada's government has backed down. First reported by the Wall Street Journal, Prime Minister Mark Carney's office announced that the controversial 3 percent digital services tax would be scrapped. The reversal marks a significant win for the Trump administration and clears the way for trade discussions to resume.

Reminder:
Over the last 10 years, the annual average growth of Canada is 0.5%.
Not 5%. One half of one percent.
And that's with having the lowest transportation costs to the biggest market in the world.
Even Germany and Japan are over 5%.
And, in that time, Canada has imported over 500k new welfare immigrants.
The country is fucked.

In part, "Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is committed to reaching NATO’s new defense spending target of 5 percent of GDP by 2035."
And, "Carney’s comments indicate Canada plans to leverage its critical mineral wealth as part of its military contribution to NATO. The U.S. also needs Canada’s rare earth minerals because they are required to power all 21st century digital technology, from high-tech weapons and surveillance equipment to everything powered by artificial intelligence."

I started reading John Nolte's movie reviews at Dirty Harry's place back in 2004, around the same time I found this place. His movie reviews and analysis have been a part of my life for decades now. Breitbart has put ALL of that Nolte movie stuff behind a paywall, and I'm kind of furious at them. They are out of my regular news rotation as a result.

He thinks he won because he "stood up" to Trump in the aftermath of Trump's comments about a 51st state. It went to his head.
Poilievre would have been better off not to compete in the anti-Trumpism at the time. He should have taken a more confident, diplomatic stance, as in "I can deal with this guy, for the good of Canada."

CHarles III is pure WEF. He attended all the meetings until his coronation, then got very pissy when Rishi told him that as king he could not attend.
The UK is lost and Canada is close to it. I see no need to help them out of their immigration choices. Europe cheered as the first few waves of muz arrived and held signs "Better Rapists than Racists". They knew what they were getting and sacrificed their children and daughters.

(Canadian Reddit follows
Canada's economic policies being subject to the "Truth" Social posts of that madman south of the border isn't a good look, no matter how pragmatic of a move some might be consider that to be.
This is starting to look more like an own goal on Carney's part. If they were not committed to implementing the DST, then why didn't they just pause it while negotiations were ongoing?
The fact Trump threw a tantrum over it and spent the weekend ranting about Dairy tells you he didnt get the reaction he actually wanted. If DST is his win, which American voters do it help? Weve made our concessions before softwood, steel, autos, or fertilizer are even raised. And the DST can always just be reinstated can't it?

There are some benefits to this law beyond that, it allows pledging it for security, and allows the purchase of items with it, without extra faffing around like you would get if you tried some contract to buy a house with 27 new cars.
The current experience is that purchases in gold will be fairly large purchases, Dollars for groceries. Gold will allow more people to actually save in non-inflationary currency.

We don't really understand what we rely on them for (mostly wood and oil), and any impact to prices will be diffuse and explainable for other reasons.

His open guilty plea which could net him 50 years in prison may be an attempt to bargain for leniency in return for help in charting the actions of the Bolivarian government of Venezuela, Tren de Aragua, and support of the FARC in Colombia, as well as other espionage actions carried out by the government of Venezuela

By the way, this is going to be the brag of all the Democrat runners in 2028. Newsom especially will bray about how he "stood up" to Trump, challenged him in court, "And I will continue that fight when I am president as I dismantle all the destructive policies of this administration!!!"
Another reason why I hope Trump takes down California during Newsom's governorship. The Title IX violations, civil rights, suing and (fingers crossed) defunding over sanctuary jurisdictions, defund the Train to Nowhere, the works. Humiliate and reduce that nepo baby to a crust of hairgel and a set of veneers.

Ironheart is a scumbag thief who is lazy (black people wrote their black character as lazy and thieving, believe it or not). She doesn't want to be a hero, she wants to be recognized and praised. People repeatedly keep giving her better options and she rejects them all. Its like watching something a classroom of 3rd graders came up with after a meal of pop rocks and Red Bull, without talking to each other.

It is "shorted out to ground" to keep the pressure up on the grid. There is a need to make a complete circuit, and there needs to be enough extra generated to keep the system from browning out under load.
I am told that about 1/3 of electricity generated is lost this way, and that is one of the reason why Bitcoin miners look to suck up that power, since it is otherwise wasted - and it is nothing but profit for the generation companies

It's interesting that the article says they turned the ship around, and then sent out the small boat. Why not just send out the small boat? You know how long it takes one of those cruise ships to turn around?

it probably could be, but there has to be enough flexibility to cover fluctuations in the load. The BPA was talking about adding that sort of pumping to dams to cover later loads, but apparently it never penciled out.
The nice thing about bitcoin mining is that they can absorb the fluctuations just fine, and I am not sure that other types of industry could. I think the reason for the Alcoa plants on the Columbia are for that reason alone, the dams have a lot of extra power as they power the region.

Its the same kind of thing as Europe. They take for absolute granted things we know to be idiotic or question out of sheer concern over liberty. Greta Thunberg is on their minds all the time. They assume global warming like they do evolutionary theory or gravity. They are certain that guns are horrible and scary and anyone who has one is suspect at best. They are certain that Americans are either dying on the streets or going broke over health care.
They have no alternate press. They have no vigorous and healthy sense of suspicion of government and authority. Their most conservative people would be 90s Democrats here.

It's not useful information. It's not necessary information. Unless you have some specific reason to care, 100% of American citizens can live happy, productive, fulfilled lives not knowing a single one of Canada's provinces. And if for any reason it does become relevant, it's a very easily remedied situation.
"Something something something happened in Manitoba."
"Where's that?"
"Canada."
"Oh, OK."

I think its partly that, and partly the fact that the only way to justify calling Trump and his supporters Nazis is to just assume they are doing Nazi things. It goes kind of like this, to the extent they think it through at all:
1 Trump is opposed by the people I obey and support
2 Therefore Trump is a bad guy
3 Only evil horrible people would disagree with me
4 Therefore Trump is evil and horrible
5 The worst people in the world are Nazis
6 Therefore Trump is a Nazi
7 Nazis took people to death camps
8 ICE is the new Gestapo taking people to death camps
Not that they know what the Gestapo is, what the death camps were like, or what Nazis believed in, they just have enough of a vague impression and saw Schinlder's list once, decades ago.

Everyone around him -- from mentor Diddy diddling him, to Scooter and his parasitic record label, to his enabling mom, to his evil agent/manager -- screwed him his whole life and messed him up.
I think the Covid shot caused his paralysis and health woes, and he had to back out of his tour, triggering clauses causing him to get in massive debt. He sold his entire music catalogue recently to get the debt demons off his back, and they screwed him on the sale. So all those years of music, and nothing to show for it. It's like mirror universe Taylor Swift. And he still owes Scooter and the record label that screwed him MORE albums before he can end his contract, without triggering more clauses and fines. If he turns into a symbol like prince, I get it. The Diddy news probably is resurfacing the past abuse.
Luckily his wife just sold her makeup company for a billion dollars (how???), so they aren't in the poor house. And he clearly loves his kid and God. I just hope that he can sort all this current drama out without it ending in a tragic death. There's still a lot of life to live, if he can navigate it.

"Big Beautiful (?) Bill" Passes Cloture Vote, Now In "Vote-a-Rama" Phase for Amendments
The Democrats are proposing dozens and dozens of amendments just to delay the final vote.
Trump threatened to primary RINO Thom Tillis. Tillis responded hours later by announcing he would not be running for reelection, which I believe was already decided. Because Trump was going to primary him either way, and he was going to lose. Lara Trump, who polls say would win the seat in the general election if she's nominated, says she's "strongly considering" a run.
The Senate launched the vote-a-rama after wrapping up debate on Sunday night, with Republicans prepared to defend and strengthen Trump's signature legislation.
The bill extends the Trump tax cuts, reforms federal programs like Medicaid, and includes work requirements designed to restore accountability.
Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham and Mike Crapo, pushed back hard against Democrat attacks, calling out Washington gimmicks and defending the bill as a pro-growth, pro-taxpayer package. Diving Deeper: After a lengthy debate that stretched from Sunday into early Monday, the Senate entered the final stage before a full vote on President Trump's "big, beautiful bill." The legislation, which aims to lock in key tax cuts, implement long-overdue reforms, and rein in federal waste, now faces a barrage of amendments in what's known as a vote-a-rama. Senate Republicans are holding the line as Democrats attempt to derail the package with endless amendments designed to stall and sabotage. The bill is expected to deliver sweeping benefits to working families, small businesses, and American taxpayers, while restoring integrity to programs like Medicaid by enforcing work requirements and ending abuse. Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., strongly defended the reforms to Medicaid, a program that exploded in size after Obamacare enticed states to expand it to working-age adults with no disabilities. "It's a good thing for the individual to be working. It's a good thing for the taxpayer," Graham noted. "But that seems to be a crime on the other side." While most Republicans are united behind the bill, a handful have expressed concerns. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., opposed a procedural vote Saturday night, citing different objections.
Lara Trump is "strongly considering" a run for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, according to sources close to the Trump family. Her potential bid follows Sen. Thom Tillis' announcement that he will not seek reelection after opposing President Trump's signature legislative package. Key Details: Two sources, speaking to NOTUS and NBC News respectively, said Lara Trump is giving the Senate race "serious" thought, with one describing the chances as "high."
Tillis, who recently clashed with President Trump over the "Big Beautiful Bill," confirmed his retirement Sunday.
Lara Trump, 42, is a Wilmington native and a former co-chair of the RNC, where she oversaw fundraising efforts and convention planning.

It's VA election season.
Every damned state-office Dem candidate is running against Trump. All of them. Ads saying how they'll fight Trump, etc. Because the Lt Governor is a vital front line resource or something.
Connolly's Chief of Staff is a particular douche. He will probably win the seat, which is fine for the continuity of that district being reliably represented by a jackhole.

I think he is like Nick Saban (without the success). The man has spent his whole life and career acting in a post-WWII consensus environment that made sense ... GOP wanted tax cuts and slightly less spending, Dems wanted higher taxes and more spending.
But the political world has radically changed as that consensus is in the final stages of undoing. Some adapt better than others. He simply cannot adapt.

We don't know how any of the Trumps will be in a real position because they haven't done anything yet except for Ivanka pissing everyone off with her husband, and Don Jr. playing social media intern. And if they're the real concern, then side-stepping actual progeny in favor of a daughter-in-law for a sinecure is a relatively anti-dynastic thing to do.
Either way, if the choice is between Trump Proto-dynasts or proven GOPe cuckolds who've never seen a back they didn't put a knife or a dick into, I'll take the dynasty every day of the week. Sandbagging Okay in the name of principle so that Shit can win instead is the cuckiest GOPiest game going.

>>It's all a game to keep direct Votes from impacting the records of these cowards.
I get the frustration but reconciliation bills are a real thing with actual rules. That's why it only takes 51 votes in the Senate and not 60. That's why this will pass because of flaming assholes like Rand and Tillis.
In order to get some good stuff we are going to get shit we hate because a lot of "Republican" senators are grifting assholes who wouldn't vote for the good stuff without getting their balls tickled.
Democrats hate this bill with the intensity of 10 suns. I'll take the W.

3 strikes.
Someone called in every favor they had with Tillis.
And found out he has no juice.
How embarrassing that must be:
Him, preening about, thinking he had power;
them skulking about, thinking they had leverage.
He was going to lose w/o Trump running against him. AS Trump pointed out, he did NOTHING for the people of his state affected by the floods.
And the intentional neglect under Biden.

Someone was running plenty of proBBB ads in NC for a couple of months now. Then the last two weeks another group started running antiBBB ads about Medicaid and mentioning Tillis. Then Tillis folded like a cheap suit. Though I half suspect that Tillis has those ads ran to give him the opportunity to fold on BBB.
Tillis is really just a pro big business Democrat.

The only material thing they got out of him in Trump's term was the tanking of Martin.
And Martin is still working in the DOJ, in charge of election investigations (if I remember correctly).
Tillis was obviously a dummy. Dummies make bad puppets, but smart people don't stay puppets. So, dummies is all you get.

she worked for a national law firm, and Obama put her on the US sentencing commission, then on to the DC district court (backed by her brother in law, Paul Ryan) and then to the US Court of Appeals to fill the hole Garland left when he became AG
Her skids were greased to get her in, and she is connected

I signed a law authorizing Texans to use gold & silver as legal tender in day-to-day financial transactions.
It fulfills the promise of Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.
Seriously, how does this work? Pawn shops have to run tests on gold chains to see if they're real and assess their purity. If somebody plunks down a gold nugget at Safeway to pay for their groceries, how is the cashier supposed to do a valuation?

THE MORNING RANT: President Trump’s Use of Military Power - If We Have to Break It, We Aren't Going to Buy It
Our political class has repeatedly told us that the only allowable “solutions” to pressing problems are alternatives not embraced by the majority of Americans. That is why we finally turned to Donald Trump. Just one example was the border crisis – Democrats argued for mass amnesty and a wide-open border, while establishment Republicans countered by also proposing mass amnesty with a slightly less porous border. Trump laughed in all their faces, shut the border, and started deporting criminal aliens.
In the matter of foreign military engagement, we have also been presented just two bad options over the past few decades. 1) Massive military commitment to foreign wars, including nation building and boots on the ground in perpetuity, all with an endless airlift of fallen troops being flown home to Dover AFB. 2) Pacifism, with the U.S. never unleashing its military might, even where it is appropriate. There is another much better option, which President Trump just demonstrated – the use of our military to destroy what needs destroying, and then leaving the mess as a lesson. If Iran attempts to rebuild its nuclear program in coming years, we can bust it all up again. We don’t have to occupy Iran or pretend that it will become a western democracy. It can figure out whatever it wants to become, but if Iran restarts its nuclear program or exports terror again, it can also face our wrath again. I have been waiting for the U.S. to strike against Iran for more than 45 years. The lost wars of the Bush-Cheney era have driven home the futility of trying to impose democracy on those not capable of it. But still, I’ve never stopped wanting there to be righteous retribution against Iran’s mad mullahs. They attacked America on American territory when they took our embassy personnel hostage in 1979, and they’ve been killing Americans wherever they can ever since. One of the dubious lessons learned from World War II was that we must always rebuild what we destroy in war. In that spirit, Colin Powell famously told President George W. Bush regarding the Iraq War debacle, “If you break it, you own it.” Donald Trump has put that idea to rest. We broke it (Iran’s nuclear program) and Israel has destroyed Iran’s war fighting capabilities. And now we’re done fighting. What Iran does now is not our problem, unless/until we have to break it again sometime in the future. With all that said, there are plenty of reasons why the mainstream American right has become so anti-war in recent years. The awful loss of young Americans’ lives in service to other countries interests - but not America’s interests - is paramount. But it is also the realization that the war-pushers have a deep reserve of ashamed-to-be-American guilt that motivates them. There is an inherent contradiction in how they go about waging war. Quite simply, they rush into foreign wars, but then refuse to fight for victory, because they believe: 1) The United State has a moral obligation to fight other countries’ wars because of our power, wealth, etc. 2) It is culturally offensive for the United States to inflict what is necessary to actually win a foreign war.Donald Trump’s America-First position is rejected by this same war-loving crowd whose loyalty is to the “international community” that wants Americans to fight and to die, but not to win.
A repellant aspect of the “we broke it, we bought it” mindset is the belief that all wars require a Marshall Plan to rebuild the infrastructure and economies of lands where we battled. Perhaps Western Europe would not have rebuilt so quickly without all the American aid post-WWII, but maybe they wouldn’t now be failing welfare states either. We taught them that Uncle Sam will pay to (re)build their countries and provide their defense, thus allowing cradle-to-grave welfare, all while their politicians and populace screech about how awful the United States is. By contrast, Eastern Europeans who suffered under communism received nothing from America, but they are vocally pro-America now because they simply crave freedom, and they learned how awful the alternative was. By rejecting “we broke it, we bought it,” President Trump is also rejecting any more 21st century occupations and Marshall Plans. That doesn’t mean the enemies of civilization will not incur the fearsome wrath of our military if they try to cause problems outside their borders. But under President Trump, if we have to break it, we’re just going to leave it.The transgender fad will fade away. But unlike the gluten fad, innocents are being disfigured for life and denied the pleasures of a normal adulthood — all in service to a runaway social experiment.It’s behind a paywall, but if you’re a Blaze subscriber, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

I agree with almost everything you wrote, but I think Iran is probably the ME country with the best shot at eventually becoming a democracy. They sort of were in the 50s, but sadly got lost on the path to modernity. IMHO, they're still capable of it, especially now that the younger Iranians are so thoroughly disillusioned with Sharia and the mullahcracy.

I have to disagree with this. The trans fad does share some similarities with other social-contagion fads, so it's tempting to think it will fade away like they did.
But there's at least one very crucial difference: there's billions of dollars to be made from Big Tranny. And it's money to be made across professions and even industries. Big Pharma, surgeons, consultants, shrinks, hospitals, Planned Parenthood and similar organizations, even home health care -- all are making yuge bank preying on confused young kids.
So long as money is raining down from the sky, tranny lunacy will never go away. Even 40+ years later, pharma is still making piles of money off of the homosexual movement and all the assorted diseases and dysfunction it created. Big Tranny is another meal ticket for them.

The difference is: there is a huge political use for trannies: https://tinyurl.com/y7yebr5r
Transgenderism is used by the left as a method of turning pathology and alienation into politically viable resentment.
. . .
The true nefariousness of the left’s designs with regards to transgenderism can be seen in their obsession over transitioning children. Should the left be successful here, they will be able to essentially create political inquisitors who have never known anything other than transgender ideology, who will have a lifetime of resentment for the left to use and who, due to the poisoning and mutilation of their bodies, can never leave or create a normal life for themselves outside the leftist political-ideological machine. Inquisitors whom the left, nota bene, intend to place in every institution, company, media franchise, etc.

That tranny who dominated the girls' softball championship was "transitioned" by his mom ... at 9 years old. She had his birth certificate amended to change his sex to female. Again: at 9 years old.
I very strongly suspect this was a bitter, hateful "mom" abusing the son to punish the father. A lot of these "forced" transitions are just that.
But there's another possibility: she set this in motion to get her son -- otherwise a despised white male -- a higher position on the social totem pole. Get your son into girls' sports to dominate, and if nothing else scholarships open up.

Y2K would have actually been a real disaster if we had not done a lot of work to keep it from being so. There is another digital problem coming next decade: 32 bit UNIX and its derivatives will quit working as the seconds count since UNIX was created will roll over. Fortunately most UNIX machines today are 64 bit, and that won't roll over until after the Universe has ceased to exist.
Posted by: An Observation sez Trump is my President at June 30, 2025 11:13 AM (Da7Vv)
----------
[per Grok:]
The 32-bit UNIX time rollover, often called the "Year 2038 problem," occurs when the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (the UNIX epoch) exceeds the maximum value a 32-bit signed integer can hold, which is 2,147,483,647 seconds.
This happens on January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC. After this point, 32-bit systems using a signed 32-bit integer for timekeeping will overflow, causing the time to wrap around to December 13, 1901, or result in undefined behavior, depending on the system.

Objectively speaking every single major policy/collective choice by Germany in my adult life has been astonishingly stupid:
- Giving their manufacturing technology to China
- Destroying Eurozone growth
- The Energiewende
- Letting in millions of Middle Eastern migrants
- Allowing themselves to become dependent on Russian gas
- Not investing in their own defense
Literally every single one of those choices was obviously retarded at the time it was being made and almost every intelligent person said so at the time and each time the Germans smugly and autistically refused to listen.

There's no state above replacement level (2.1), but the closest regions are all Republican and rural. The lowest state is...Vermont. The lowest regions are all cities (a regular observable pattern across populations is that urban areas have lower birth rates than rural ones).

They to play the victim Olympics, both for themselves and on behalf of their child. It’s Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or factitious disorder imposed on another (FDIA), with the trans trend twist. The child can’t cross mommy and push back here, either. If you watch that Jazz show, he tried, you see him thinking there is something wrong and his mom loses her shizzle. It’s insane.

I just got off the phone with President Trump!!
I told him about my new bill I am introducing that will save America’s elections from ever being stolen again!
My bill will require the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct a new census immediately upon enactment of the bill. In conducting the new census of the U.S. population, it shall require questions determining the citizenship of each individual, and count US citizens only.
Upon completion of the census, the bill will direct states to immediately begin a redistricting of all U.S. House seats process using only the population of United States citizens.
Thank you President Trump for your strong support of my bill, Making American Elections Great Again!!!
Let’s get this done!!!

You know what we DID accomplish in Iraq?
- they are no longer threatening or invading neighbors
- they are no longer gassing their own people (you know, using those WMD we were later lied to about and told they didn't have)
- they aren't supporting and exporting terrorism
- they aren't sending assassins into the US to kill our politicians
- they aren't trying to get nukes anymore
- putting US boots in Iraq invited the Jihadis to attack American troops, instead of attacking American civilians. And our troops killed the shit out of Jihadis!
A lot of brave Americans paid the ultimate sacrifice to accomplish those ends. We really need to stop accepting the MSM narrative that their sacrifices were wasted. Should that war have been prosecuted differently, and should we have left sooner? That is a reasonable argument.
And stop swallowing the lie that Iran having WMD was faulty or fake intel. That is pure revisionist history by the MSM.
Iraq HAD a nuke program. How do we know? Because 550 tons of yellow cake uranium (concentrated Uranium) was shipped out of Iraq to Canada in 2008

eyes are dead on the top third line, just slightly left of vertical center. Kind of works to force your attention and create a sense of intentional positioning.
And i suppose the point is to create focus on one point and not invite distraction or side quests in the viewer's mind. You're not meant to wonder what's going on or go on a journey of conjecturing and wondering and musing. It's just -BLAM- old lady. Viewer discomfort. End of story.

I'm trying to figure out exactly what she even THOUGHT she was saying but it comes down to
"Making life is not as important as all the things that have to happen inside the body in order to make life".
Which is already so twisted and contorted - because it's a straight up intentional denial of God and Truth. The pretzel bending there is the stuff of legend.
In her stupid mind, as much as this has come from her stupid mind and not some dumbass leftard book she read (my guess), her point is "the other life inside us thing is great and all, but what about meeeeee". That's the crux of her argument. The idea that someone, even her own child, could matter more than her is a pure affront.

I think some dumb leftard came up with a scientific theory that puts the "woman" first. That's all this is.
And they wrote some treatise on it and dopey Mooch had someone tell her what it was about.
I have seen this so many times from Karen's. They read these indoctrinating diatribes that are affirming in all the wrong ways and think it makes them smart. What it does is give them license to believe all the stuff they want to believe including the stuff that's the most psychotic and stupid. Like "the life inside me is worth less than I am". They have got to the point where they cant really deny that it's a life - so now it's onto the next which is "women are very scientifically complicated creatures, here's how". And this "complication" when tied in with the history of "oppression" allows them an out in having any regard at all (including God's built in regard) for the beating heart inside them.

The Morning Report — 6/ 30 /25
Two firefighters were killed and a third was injured when first responders were ambushed by an hours-long barrage of gunfire after arriving at the scene of a blaze in Idaho Sunday afternoon, authorities said. The horrific attack, which began around 2 p.m. local time on Canfield Mountain near Coeur d’Alene, ended about five hours later when SWAT teams discovered the lifeless body of a man next to a firearm on the popular tourist trail, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office. “This was a total ambush, these firefighters did not have a chance,” Sheriff Bob Norris told reporters after the massive manhunt, assuring the community there is no longer an active threat. “We have currently one dead shooter based on the preliminary investigation that was being conducted. Keep in mind we had a fire that was rapidly approaching the body so we had to scoop up that body and we had to transport that body to a different location. We believe that it is the only shooter that was on that mountain at that time.” Police have not released the suspected gunman’s identity, the type of weapon recovered at the gruesome scene, or the cause of his death. A motive remains under investigation but police believe the fire was intentionally set to lure first responders into a deadly trap. “We do believe that the suspect started the fire and we do believe it was an ambush and it was intentional,” Norris said. A Coeur d’Alene firefighter and a Kootenai County Fire and Rescue member were shot dead in the sudden strike. The third victim, a Coeur d’Alene firefighter who was shot during the violent surprise attack, is recovering at Kootenai Health after undergoing surgery. . . . . . The FBI responded to the scene providing tactical and operational support, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said, with about 300 first responders also on site from state and local agencies.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly cheesesteaks, reports of some sort of massive explosion preceded the collapse of several homes in the comedically ironic section of the city known as Nicetown. One fatality has been reported, so apologies for being flip. While it could be something as innocent/normal as a gas leak. Again, given everything going on here and abroad, perhaps some religion of Peace Peacenik or Anti-fascist Brownshirt Democrat Stormtrooper building a mostly peaceful pipe bomb to be used against ICE, a synagogue or some other target of the forces of darkness and evil that threaten "Our Precious Democracy" (vomit) cannnot be discounted. And a little over 40 years ago when Mayor Wilson Good used the air units of the Philadelphia PD to re-enact the firebombing of Hamburg and burned several blocks to the ground after being shot at while attempting to evict or arrest a black liberation group known as MOVE, led by one John Africa. Oh the humanity! Prayers for the victims, and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of these incidents.
Completely switching gears, this so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" seems to be moving forward but about the only good thing I can see in it is the RINO opposition to it, is giving President Trump the political cover and cassus belli to go after the backstabbers like Tom Tillis who mercifully has decided to not even seek re-election and hopefully give North Carolinians the opportunity to put a MAGA-aligned patriot on the ballot and please God in the Senate. As for the bill itself, as CBD and I discussed on the podcast an episode or so ago, and still relevant, How does borrowing and spending us further into debt gibe with the whole notion of DOGE and the MAGA movement? I do not want a more "efficient" government. I want a radically reduced/eliminated government. Because the smaller the government, the freer and more prosperous the citizenry. One huge issue that that Leftists and propagandists are harping on is supposedly the evil Nazi Trump republicans eliminating Medicare and Medicaid. Cue the footage of Paul Ryan as Tommy Udo shoving granny off of a cliff in her wheelchair.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has also backed an effort to secure more cuts within the president’s sweeping tax relief and immigration legislation. The deficit-reducing measure is sponsored by Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott and would lower the 90% federal match rate for new Medicaid enrollees in states that expanded coverage under the Affordable Care Act. A group of deficit-concerned senators, including Scott, helped secure a vote on the amendment, which will occur during an anticipated marathon session of voting, known as a “vote-a-rama,” before senators will vote on final passage of the bill. “We think it’s really good policy,” Thune told reporters Sunday. “We’re going to do what we can to support that effort.” . . . The amendment, however, could die on the Senate floor due to moderate GOP senators’ opposition to reducing the federal government’s contributions to state Medicaid programs, known as the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). Scott’s proposal notably exempts the existing expansion population on Medicaid rolls. Trump notably thanked Scott and the cohort of fiscal hawks for ultimately supporting the opening of debate on the bill Saturday night. The president said he would work with the group to “REDUCE WASTEFUL SPENDING” and “ENSURE OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM HELPS THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT” among other priorities, in a statement on the social media platform Truth Social. . . . . . The upper chamber’s budget bill also slashes spending on green energy subsidies by accelerating the termination of solar and wind tax credits, which could save hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. The Senate’s proposal will have to clear the House before Trump signs the budget bill into law. A number of moderate Republicans in the lower chamber are voicing concern about aggressive spending cuts while members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are pushing for more deficit reduction. “For all cost cutting Republicans, of which I am one, REMEMBER, you still have to get reelected,” Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social Sunday evening. “Don’t go too crazy!”
Bingo, Mr. President. But what have we been pleading for for decades and what did you run on - fiscal sanity. Yes, cutting out the waste and outright fraud of multiple funding of the same programs across different agencies/departments and the plain old thievery of money that somehow gets iPhoned off to fund anti-American groups and seditious activities etc. etc. is absolutely a good thing. But we need to starve the bureaucratic beast and kill off as much of the New Deal, Great Society, and every other freedom and money sucking entity we can to really Make America, not only Great again, but make America America again. Getting rid of the Dept. of Education is a great thing (if it actually does disappear) but why is the EPA still functioning. Yes Lee Zeldin has been doing some great things to erase the environmental madness of the global warming/climate change myth and give a much needed shot in the arm to get fossil fuels, energy independence and our economy moving again. enough on this. At any rate, getting back to the actual bill itself, The sick irony of Chuck Schemer looking to read thousands of pages while Malig-Nancy Pelosi refused to read even the cover page and dedication to satan by the author of the massive Obamacare power grab that let the government seize control of the health care sector, fully one sixth of the economy, and then her proclaiming "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it!" And it's either hypocrisy on our side in demanding we pass the bill or else tit's a delicious sauce for the goose/gander. The other insane chutzpocrisy of the Dems is them bithcing about fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget after decades of borrowing andspending us into the oblivion we are on the precipice of while hacks like Paul Krugman kept insisting that the government can boorrow/spend and print money indefinitely and infinitely, unlike the average household who cannot run up their credit cards without any consequences. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

Regarding the BBB…. Trump has never been a deficit hawk and I’m not expecting him to make drastic cuts to the so-called entitlement programs. It’d be horrible politics to do so anyway.
The purpose of the BBB is to first and foremost make the first term tax cuts permanent and second funding to secure the border. Many DOGE cuts (which I love) can be done later in a recision package… weasels like Tillis and purists like Rand Paul make this an almost impossible balancing act

And while we're passionate about it here, there really isn't a big constituency to cut spending. Hypothetical spending cuts? Yes.
But cuts to actual programs? "That's my money!"
While there is some merit to "strike hard and fast" Trump has been right on strategy almost every time, especially compared to the expert commentary crowd.
And this bill has a whole hell of a lot of good things in it. Things that will ensure bigger wins to come.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Thom Tillis has hurt the great people of North Carolina. Even on the catastrophic flooding, nothing was done to help until I took office. Then a MIRACLE took place! Tillis is a talker and complainer, NOT A DOER! He’s even worse than Rand “Fauci” Paul!

Calling Rand “Fauci” is master level trolling.

Compare this to their attack on Hegseth's nomination. They had their never-fail sex scandal tactic, the paid protesters and the crafted soundbites. They were all-in.
They were sure they'd get him to withdraw and build on that to scuttle the rest.
Except. They failed.
Their momentum faded. Every nominee passed while their opposition after Hegseth was pro forma, token.

they don't give a fuck what we think! they work for TRUMP, not WE THE PEOPLE. it is SICK
It's easy to go against the will of the people when you don't need the people. They know the fix is in. Trump said if you elect me "you won't have to vote anymore".
Because voting and numbers don't matter. The election was dirty. they stole it and will do so again if it suits them.
The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. Trump is hiring his own private goon squad. A masked band of criminals with no restraints or rules. Coming to a polling place near you?
The protests were for our own solidarity. The GOPs are not motivated by service to citizens. They can kill us. But we'll keep coming. We have to show them that.
I just want all the white folks who support trump to suffer. I am white and those ignorant racist fu**s need to pay for our dimise. It's astounding how mean and hateful repubs are.

His retirement, I think, is an admission that the Uniparty tactic of media air support, carpet bombing the airways, while the RINOs use that as an excuse to betray conservatives, no longer works.
They can't deliver the air support, he can't deliver the votes.
It's hilarious that the reward for his loyalty to the Uniparty is to force Tillis to sacrifice himself by pathetically voting against a bill that will pass.

True, the massive widespread American protest back in November of 2024 did nothing to deter GOP Congress.
It's easy to go against the will of the people when you don't need the people.
Exactly. When you can print ballots and have Leftists forge signatures; when Dominion can swap votes in real time,; when you allow the Left to "discover" new ballots long after the polls close - you don't need the people.
Now the trendy thing is for foreign entities to underwrite lawsuits that tie up the competitiveness of US businesses in court.
And who needs "will of the people" when you can replace them with foreigners who will trade votes for entitlements?

But I wake up to bad news today…. Penn State which I thought was a class program, and has certainly been a dynasty under head coach Cael Sanderson…. Some really ugly stuff is surfacing. Kyle Snyder caught in a prostitution sting; Braeden Davis arrested for drunken brawling with police… and the biggest sting of all — really gross allegations against 5-time national champion Carter Starocci. Ugh… they all have the ring of truth. Sanderson has such a clean image… this has echoes of the situation that ruined the end of Joe Paterno’s career and his reputation. Hope it isn’t true….. I think the money in college athletics now is pretty much ruining everything. Sigh… we can’t have anything nice I guess

Adams just approved the illegal immigrant legal fund.
Honestly, Adams probably needs to drop out and back Silwa and have a 3 way with Cuomo, the grandma killer and Mamdani, the Jew hating communist.
Both Adams and Silwa are connected to Trump, but only one hasn't done illegal sh&t...so more likely to hold all the Rs together...
B/c right now, Adams isn't gonna pull many, if any, Ds...so have the real R in...

Its an orchestra of Spiritual darkness, Mimetic Double Bind, lack of Theory of Mind and lack of the Inner Monologue.
IOW, Keeping Up With The Jones where they compete to out do their social competitor for attention and status, the inability to ask questions because they believe they have all the answers, and the "thinking" mostly made up of emotions, day-dreaming and abstracts (CT, DEI, etc.) all directed because of the Noetic effects of The Fall and obtaining their values from demonic sources.

Yeah, from JJ's link:
Mr. Mamdani’s campaign had focused on registering voters, and he also appears to have drawn thousands of voters to the primary who did not vote four years ago.
Huh. What's happened in NYC that could have contributed to that? How many 10's of thousands of illegals have flooded the city, and now have been signed up to vote by Mamdani's DS GOTV team?
Posted by: Lizzy at June 30, 2025 08:53 AM (VVnrT)
>>See the national 2020 election for tips.
Generally speaking, yes, they can rig elections any way they want, unless there is high turnout, then rigging becomes more problematic and difficutlt.
I think Adams won his last election with somewhere in the neighborhood of 16pct of registered voters and 22pct of registered voters voted overall.
So if the islands come out in force and support Adams or Sliwa, the race could be close.

Why do people take their children to this stuff? Do they want their kids sexualize at 10? Do they want them in the lifestyle at 14?
====
It’s mainly AWFLs doing this. I think they want to live vicariously through their children. They yearn to have lived or want to relive youthful sexual promiscuity and other assorted perversions they miss or feel they’ve missed out on.
Of course, there is also the desire to fit in and also to be the alpha “morality bearer” of their tribe - “I’m more tolerant and open-minded than you, therefore I’m better than you.” They’ll use any tool at their disposal to achieve status, even their own and others’ children.

"That's not language that I use.

"And ultimately, that's what is the foundation of so much of my politics, the belief that freedom and justice and safety are things that, to have meaning, have to be applied to all people and that includes Israelis and Palestinians alike."

He said that ace was betraying the cause by posting Twitter or Instagram (?) links of cutesy videos instead of Rumblr or some other site. People in the main don't realize how hard and thankless it is to come up with content, and the thing about ace is he's generally fine about everything as long as you don't get him on the wrong day. If you get him on the wrong day just let him snarl.

But it makes the others less of one.
Tillis, already borderline, became a central target of Trump, and he knocked Tillis out with two Truth posts.
Trump is also promising to primary the shit out of Massie (it may work, I dunno), making it obvious and clear that he's not going to tolerate grandstanding dissent. Work with him (Massie could have gotten provisions added to the OBBB to make it more palatable to him, but he...didn't), or you might as well just be a Democrat.
Notice, no public threats to primary Ron Johnson despite Johnson's own preening. He worked with Vance to allay some concerns, and fell in line.

That very well could be the difference.
But, this is Congress. One man cannot change the world unless they are in the perfect place at the perfect time.
Otherwise, it's, you're part of 100 or 435 with little power, little voice, and not a whole lot to actually do. You can fill that time by going to committee hearings and trying to insert language you like into must pass legislation, or you can preen about how it all sucks and we just have to stop the train and do something no one else has worked towards, not even yourself.
The preening in Congress irritates me more than anything else, and I don't see how people get on board with any of it.

1) they had advanced knowledge of the opinion and had already drafted the law suit, or

Top Story
- Don't buy an Nvidia video card. (Tom's Hardware)
Because the leaks have already started for the upcoming 5000 Super family of cards, which are only very slightly faster but have 50% more memory.
Upgrading the 5070 from a middling 12GB of RAM to 18GB makes it a solid product that will likely last for years. The same goes for the 5070 Ti, already fairly good with 16GB of RAM, if somewhat overpriced; with 24GB it becomes a high-end model that is not going to easily become obsolete.
If you weren't inclined to pay that much in the first place, AMD's 9060 XT is still the pick of the litter, with 16GB cards going for less than an 8GB 5060 Ti.
Tech News
- Reddit made a deal to sell its content to AI companies for training. Now it's being spammed by AI bots. (9to5Mac)
Multiple ad agency execs confirmed to the FT that they are indeed "posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots."
Tragedy of the commons on speed-dial.
- Trying out a low-end previous-generation AMD server. (Serve the Home)
It's 2025, so a "low-end previous-generation" server has 64 cores.
- In a welcome change, companies promoting AI in new products are finding it can make customers less likely to buy. (MSN)
Now they just need to stop putting AI in their products entirely.

I watched a bit of that but then had to go to work. The cops can't stop it and the governor won't mobilize the National Guard to pacify the area.
The only alternative is the people there form militias and start taking care of the problem. Honestly, I'm kind of hoping that happens.

I watched a Sargon of Akkad episode on YouTube yesterday about this.
The name of the punk-rap duo is “Bob Vylan”.
They also sang a song in their set that was about “You’re not taking your country back” aimed at Brits who, like Tommy Robinson, are fed up with immigration.
The singer also led the crowd on chants of “Death to the IDF” and said “From the River to the Sea will happen” while the vastly white, middle class, audience repeated everything he said back to him.
People are not pleased that the BBC aired this group live around the country.
I listened to a little of the music and their rap + punk sounds just about as horrible as you’d imagine.

I’m not ette but I know Nautica makes some really big umbrellas that might as well be called parasols.
My brother gave our mom a few that he’d gotten somewhere for free a few years back.
They’re probably made in China but at least Nautica has reliable quality control and a warranty probably.

For I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
For hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale

And ready to sail
And the crew, they are anxious
To follow the whale
Where thе icebergs do float
And stormy winds blow
And the land and thе ocean

I must apologize (to Carl Sagan's memory) for using the term "Venusian". He, referred to "Venusian" as a "barbarism" akin to Marsian or Jupiterian, or Earthian.
The astronomical high priests decided "Cytherean" was the proper word for Venus. The proper Latin would be "Venereal" or "Venerean", which sounded like VD. In Greek, it would be "Aphrodisian" which sounds too racy, so Cytherean (from the island Venus was born) became the term.
But, Venusian won out.

Put the Iranian people on notice: if you want Iran (or Persia, as the case may be) to be regarded as a civilized country, they must kill all the clerics, down to the most insignificant imam. Every last goatfucking one. Then dynamite all the mosques. If people want to flop and pray to mecca, let them do it in the privacy of their own homes. If they gather in mobs to do it, machine-gun their asses.

William Shatner Says Captain Kirk Would Be ‘Appalled’ At Pace of Climate Change.
Captain James T. Kirk would be appalled at the rapid acceleration of climate change on Earth, says William Shatner, the Montreal-born actor who played the head of the USS Enterprise in the “Star Trek” franchise for decades.
“I think he would probably be as appalled as I am,” Shatner said during a recent video call from his home in Los Angeles.
The actor said he could imagine Kirk “skywriting” a message to his fellow Earthlings, urging them to take action.
“Education, education, read everything,” Shatner said. “Everybody should acquaint themselves with the problem, and make a decision.”

I do have fire experience in Idaho, and my wife did live there for several years. I would definitely defer to folks that live there to know better than me. I would not infer you being naive about this, but just giving some of my thoughts, like most folks here. I can definitely be wrong.

She will be missed by those who knew and loved her.

The nightmare continues. Skyline Cincinnati Chili (Copycat Recipe).
"Flavored with unusual ingredients such as cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and chocolate, this chili is definitely different." My first clue this a mess is chile is misspelled.
I hope the good people at Chope's Roadhouse never hear of this stuff. They make a proper Chile that is nothing be meat, red hatch chiles, and 100 years of experience.

That came across a bit harsh. Sorry. That racist label has worn abit thin over the years. The yacht club aspect is not necessarily wrong, although it tends to be more California refugees and Microsoft expats. There are enclaves of racist asshats there as well as on my side of the border.

If Osama bin Lenin becomes mayor of NYC, expect to see officially permitted muzzie praying in Times Square, not for religious reasons but for dominance reasons.
The mosque down around the old World Trade Center was beaten back. But if he wins? I also would expect some serious Intifada violence (he's fer it!) in Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. There won't be any cops thanks to his 'defund the police' so the situation will be perfect for one-sided violence. He'll make the campus protests at Columbia a City mandate.

I'd love to see a top ten (twenty?) link of posts/comments from Chavez the Hugo as well. Maybe a dedicated post on Memorial Day highlighting commentary of departed friends? I'm just spitballing here...

I think the people of Europe understand they need a 'Trump for deportations', the same as we do. But the politicians there are feckless. (Where are politicians not feckless? Okay, maybe Russia.)

Do you they will arrest his shot up remains for shooting without an ID?
Really, the longer they go without identifying the shooter, the harder we’re going to suspect what they don’t want to admit!

And Minnesota. And Maine. Both with large Somali communities. Minnesota even changed their state flag to please the Somali muzzies. The country IS in danger. It's a creeping danger, a camel's nose in the tent danger. But it's racist to point that out. As if pisslam is a friggin' race.

I'm coming around to the opinion that only natural-born citizens should hold any political office. Immigrants' children? Yes. But not the immigrants themselves. Diversity is killing our Country. Now that doesn't let off the hook the power-mad black women in poiltics. Gawd, they are awful and hurt our Country. But I do believe we can handle the Tish James' and the Fani Willis'. But when you start having Pali cities, Indian City Councils, Somali state flags, it's over. We become the UN -- and the UN does not work.
Other races hire/govern/rule by race. The white race does not. That's an ugly racist fact.

I look at Sanchez, who does look amazing at 55, and can only think: The View, Met Gala. She's always on. (Did she need to have her stylist unbutton & re button about 30 of those exquisite buttons to p**? And, why would anyone have those amazing fabrics made into a dress to look like a flower vase?)
But she & Jeff also chose to throw a foam party for guests on his ship pre-wedding. 🤷 Weird. And so it's him (age 61) too, with the Ringmaster persona. (Thank heavens the two of them are only parents of seven, and will be co-parenting with three or four others.)

Simply declare pisslam, like scientology, not a religion by any acceptable standards. It's the ideology, not the god-belief. It's the mysogyny. It's the superiority. It's the cruelty.
Just because someone says god is in a rock, a Constitutional religion does not include those who stare at rocks waiting for whomever to appear. In other words, not everything that calls itself a religion is in fact a religion. One cannot have a religion which encourages rape, pederasty and slavery. Period. That's going to be a hard truth for some in this Country to swallow, but a necessary Truth nonetheless.

Read an interesting book about Lee Oswald recently. The author documented some things I didn’t know about, though suspected. He was issued a DOD ID card upon discharge that is ordinarily reserved for retirees or people still on the payroll, basically. He had a few “handlers” keeping an eye on him. One weird one, was a guy named De Mohrenschildt. Strange cat. Said to be CIA, though a Soviet defector claims nope, he was Oswald’s KGB handler.

A false lull.
Iran hasn't changed. They're set back a bit but they'll resort to simpler more primitive terrorism in the interim.
Border with Syria is heating up. Trump speaks peace while Jolani the ISIS terrorist wears a suit but sends Chechnyan Islamos towards Israel's border.
Lebanon is trying to clam Hezballah down. That never worked before.
Israel continues to do the wrong things in Gaza. And so our soldiers keep getting killed there while we continue to fuel and feed Hamas. Idiots!

Persian Mauser Now this is cool beans! Our pal The Walking Dude shares his Persian Mauser!
With Iran in the news Here are some pix of my 8mm 98/29 Persian (Iranian) Mauser in the white (or unblued) and ammo I got from Samco decades ago. The bore is pristine and the rifle looks unissued. These rifles were from the Shah's days when the soldiers would wear white gloves and march up and down the square with them. They were made by BRNO in Czechoslovakia and are renowned for their accuracy. The lettering is all in Persian (Farsi) and this one I'm told translates to Persian year of manufacture 1317, which is 1938 in our years. The story I heard on the lack of bluing is SAMCO tried cleaning them with an aggressive solvent and it removed the bluing. I bought a crate of ammo with it too. All were FTF's and hang-fires, so I saved the components for reloading as the brass and projectiles were salvageable.

Nicks Cigar World A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

No range report. Just looking at rifles and scopes and planning on when to pull the proverbial trigger on purchasing.
The rifle I am looking at is a Tikka T3x TACT A1.
One thing I would like to find out is if I buy a RH rifle, can I move the cheek piece to the other side of the stock as I prefer to shoot as a lefty as I am left eye dominant.

My old lead RSO at the range gave me a small number of yellow-tip (182g, "heavy ball") a few years back. First couple rounds were .... weird. Click (trigger pull), small but detectable pause - boom. After 3 rounds I decided to disassemble them and use the bullets some day when I reload 54R, if I ever do.

Now I own a very flat shovel, and I have some .22 LR snake shot shells on the way. Should be good in the S&W Airweight revolver, as long as I'm willing to get it within 3-4 feet of the head, which is apparently the effective distance of that cartridge.
And here I thought that revolver was going to be useless to me, because I don't really enjoy shooting it.

To be honest, no.
I think a 42mm limit on watch case size is arbitrary and capricious.
And while I can appreciate the philosophy behind 2 minutes or less from prep initiation to beginning consumption, that should be more of a guideline, rather than doctrine.

Yesterday, I took the 6.5-06 out for its first silhouette competition. Due to being extremely busy, I had no time to work out some dope for the various distances. Plus, the competition had been moved from the 500 meter range to the 1,000 yard range and distances increased by about 50 yards per row of targets.
Anyway, I decided to go with a "shoot one sighter and work from there" scenario, figuring I was going into the match without much information and would have to make it up on the fly. @300 yards, it took me until the 2nd to last target to get the scope correctly adjusted. Which I noted in my log book after we were done.
From there, I was perfect on the pigs @ 400 yards and the turkeys @ 500 yards. Alas, the pigs @ 600 yards had my number and I only got the last one. Still though, not dissatisfied with my efforts, considering new rifle and ammunition.

I work in healthcare. I would be fired without a chance to defend myself if I got caught bringing a firearm on campus. Wtf am I supposed to do?
Plus. This happened.
Went to the range yesterday. There were three antifa trannys there. I was creeped out and my danger meter was off the charts. They were all wearing masks and one was at the line wearing a full gas mask. As if they were preparing for something. It didn’t even seem, to me, like the RSOs even noticed them. I was seriously uncomfortable.
This may be enough to keep me out of there for a bit.
I am glad MAE and LazyMessenger were there with me.

There is a very strong preference to shoo/transport rattlers back into the chaparral when feasible (range is carved out of undeveloped land, snakes are not uncommon).
Your comment made me think that instead of carrying my nice little Colt Magnum Carry (2-inch barrel) I'll bring the S&W Model 66 (4-inch barrel). In the unlikely event of a snake shoot, that revolver should allow a bit more stand-off range.
Anyone familiar with the "pattern" for the CCI snake load shells? 38psl in particular.

July 4 is supposed to be another "No Kings" protest. You were spot on to be seriously creeped out. I'm glad you had backup because that's not something I'd like to walk into by myself and, in fact, had I walked in by myself and seen masked up masquerading men, I'd have turned and left.

I would not have done anything but be doubly aware of the actions of that particular group.
Do not have anything to offer but staying vigilant at that range when certain folk are there.
What is next nearest range? To far? To expensive?

Could be guns, could be something else. I used to leave the last indoor range I belonged to when guys brought in .338s or 300WinMags or something - just for discomfort and hearing damage reasons.
In all my years as an RO I haven't had to do more than a few friendly educational interventions with newbies about muzzle discipline and direction, always received positively.

I had my eyes open and knew I had backup.
I also learned something about my shooting. When I am distracted and under REAL stress, I shoot left. Not a lot. But slightly left.
Dude next to me had a full gas mask on. His face covered. And he/she/it was a shiity shot, even at 3 yards. And they got paranoid when I backed up to observe.

A little further in the reading - you can shoot on the big range if you are a member or gues of a member. Well dang.
Good news is on the way back up we will be near the 600 yard range in SC, and it is open to the public.
So that's the plan, currently. special for romero - that range is in Swansea.
Posted by: blaster - Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat at June 29, 2025 07:48 PM (UpwUi)
You have to register and show ID to shoot. These folks had their own lanes, so they must have been members, thus had a background check. Still. My alarms were all going off.

Starting package is the Walmart Greeter tactic, show friendly interest that they have decided to come out in costume and get in some training.
Ask too many friendly questions. The costumes are to get a reaction: Give them one, just not the one they want. When they get weird, let them create a cause to be rejected with prejudice from the range by their own actions.
If not, its just theater and not worth losing sleep over. They will likely go back with their after action reports to their retarded friends, so keep that in mind.

It was quite the prestigious gun I’m told, but sadly it was lost to time and nobody in my family living today remembers what it was or what happened to it. My mom (his daughter) remembers he was very proud of it. She remembers him shooting it, but she never got the chance to shoot it because it was too powerful for her. She was shooting 22s at the time, and even that had some serious kick for a girl who probably wasn’t even 10 years old at the time.

SAMCO had lots of those back in the day. They had tried cleaning with an aggressive solvent and it removed/damaged the bluing so they just stripped them and sold them in the white. I was afraid of rust, but my gunsafe has a heat stick and I keep EVA-dry rechargeable mini dehumidifiers in the safes. Its been in the safe since feb 2012 with no rust.

I would never ask what their intentions are or inquire about the mask; that is what they want. I would admire their firearms, ask them how they respond to the recoil.
But judging by the shout-text, I'm thinking that they were creepy intimidating. You also mentioned that it take you off your game.
That is actually a good thing. In Krav Maga, the instructors, particularly when going to the San Antonio fun house, or doing field trips to bars to practice in situations, the whole goal is to create an uncomfortable environment - loud noise, flashing lights, people shoving you around, etc. to work on technique, to overcome the distractions to focus on the work at hand.

The people who concern me at my range are the crowds of Asians - like a whole family. Not because they are Asian - but because they come in a large group that is all new (you can tell because they all went to the training video and have range issued eyes and ears). Often not speaking English (which is a concern because the RSOs ARE speaking English).
Seems like its a family coming to visit someone in the US who is like "you are here in the US you should go shoot a gun!" That's cool. But a bunch of total newbs at the range make me nervous.

There are many non-"alarmist" reasons to stock up on ammo.
As RI Red pointed out, dollar-cost averaging. Or simply hedging against price increases.
Living in CA, I (correctly for once) predicted something, that the normal online vendor ammo purchasing thing would be f***ed with by the idiotic state guvamint. Sure enough. Now, you can still get direct delivery if you have a federal FFL-03, plus do a fingerprint thing - but I let my C&R license lapse because I was pretty much done buying milsurps. And I reload anyway, so hadn't bought factory in years when the law came around.
Anyway, everyone's circumstances and considerations are different, but stocking up on ammo makes sense for many different reasons. None of them related to the Burning Times that aren't coming (they're here, for years, most just define "burning" incorrectly).

To anyone interested I recommend watching the video of Trump playing with, um - forget his name, US Open winner - in that golfer's little charity thing he does.
It was a best-ball format. I think they used Trump's ball several times. Playing with the US Open champion. Trump is pretty damn good at golf.
The power of the PGA guy, on his drives, was almost scary. Hitting a golf ball as hard as a major leaguer swings at a pitch is a pretty amazing bit of coordination and talent.

Old white hippies are something I recognize from my early days.
A bunch of my relatives were in that lane.
Being a natural conservative gave me a kind of different understanding.
Not sure why I went so much against the grain in that sense.

Went to roam around the new Bass Pro in Tyler - been ages since I was anywhere that had reloading equipment for sale.
It wasn't that long ago when you needed the luck associated with winning the lottery to find and the actually winning of the lottery to purchase primers.
Now they had whole shelves loaded up with primers. While they had a good variety of loaded ammunition for the major calibers including 10mm, I didn't see any of the exotics like .460S&W or .50AE

I recommend that you carry a copy of your paperwork as a best practice. It establishes ownership on an NFA item, which the po-po can get excited about. If you're transporting NFA stuff across state lines, you really must carry not just a copy of your Form 1/4, but a copy of the "permission slip" BATFE issues that legally allows you to travel across state lines w/ your NFA toys.

First, ". . .any single senator may raise a point of order against subject matter newly inserted by the conference committee without objecting to the rest of the bill. Proponents of the measure may move to waive the rule. The affirmative vote of 60 senators is required to waive the rule. If the point of order is not waived and the chair rules that the objection is well-founded, only the offending provision is stricken from the measure, and the Senate votes on sending the balance of the measure back to the House."
BUT
"The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 limits debate on conference reports on budget resolutions and budget reconciliation bills to ten hours in the Senate, so senators cannot filibuster those conference reports."
Unclear whether the NFA exclusions if the House reverts would count as a new matter or not.

There is/was a case percolating in the 10th Circuit over a guy that lives adjacent to a school within the 1000 ft. When the Rehnquist Court first ruled in US v. Lopez, that Congressional commerce clause power did not extend to issues where no nexus with commerce exists (in this case transit only).

Capture papers and/or documentation attesting to the Army granting permission for a servicemember to bring home a captured enemy firearm adds to the value of these firearms on the collector's market. It documents the history of the firearm and its use by the enemy before its capture.

Rhomboid, I would have to contact my friend at teh Senate Historical society because as seen above, the Budget Act does not allow filibusters by statute overriding Senate rules in that instance.
However, bringing up a 'new' matter in conference can result in the conference report being filibustered when normally they cannot under Senate Rules.
Whether reinserting the removal from the NFA from the House in the overall budget conference report probably means that there is a precedent somewhere by the Senate Parliamentarian.
Rulewise, I think any Parliamentarian ruling something in a conference report in or out would be of dubious when applied to this narrow issue.

From House Budget Committee website.
"Reconciliation Conference Agreement Procedures
Even though a conference agreement cannot be amended, it is still subject to Byrd rule requirements in the Senate. Thus, although the Byrd rule does not apply in the House, it constrains what can be included in the reconciliation conference agreement. A provision violating the Byrd rule can be struck from the conference agreement on the Senate floor unless 60 Senators vote to waive the point of order. Stripping a provision due to a Byrd rule violation does not mean the conference agreement is defeated, just that the agreement will be sent to the House without the stripped provision."

Never worked with the Byrd Rule or reconciliation, so zero background with those.
Though I did happen to be on the floor when Byrd had perhaps his most famous joust with the parliamentarian. Byrd was a true Senate rules/history expert (last of his kind).
He challenged the ruling of the chair. In the end it came down to whether a footnote in the Senate rules denoted in Roman, or Arabic, numerals. Not kidding. This had significance for whatever the dispute was. Parliamentarian checked for a bit, then conceded Byrd was correct. Laughter, shaking heads, and some applause on the floor, and in the gallery. Pretty interesting.

From Ammoland
(AmmoLand.com)- In the Ninth Circuit appeals case of USA v. Metcalf, the oral arguments were held on June 12, 2025, in Portland, Oregon. The case centers around the federal prosecution of Gabriel Metcalf for possessing a firearm in a gun free school zone outside his home in Billings, Montana. Gabriel had no prior criminal history.
The oral arguments lasted 38 minutes. The judges in the case were particularly interested in whether the case of Rehaif v. United States was a precedent that was binding in the Metcalf case.
In Rehaif, the Supreme Court ruled that the prosecution had to show the defendant knew he was in violation of the law.
In the Metcalf case, Gabriel Metcalf had been repeatedly told he was not in violation of the law and had called the FBI to ask for assistance, believing he was being harassed by local law enforcement.

Talk to Thune. He is the one deferring to the parliamentarian. But dropping the tax on SBR and Suppressors is not nothing and that is what is in the current Senate bill. The House was afraid of the Byrd rule and went back and forth over simply moving the tax to zero or removing it.

This week I took #1 kid (18F) to NRA HQ in Fairfax, VA, for "basic handgun safety". It had been more than 3 decades since I took a gun safety course myself for deer hunting. I'm an Appalachian through-and-through, but my kids are, alas, NoVA suburb girls.
Had a WONDERFUL time. The range was so very nice. The instructor was fantastic, and the Daddy/Daughter time will be cherished for years.
My two regrets:
a) not doing it sooner; and
b) my girl -- the athlete who does everything well -- was so good, the instructor asked her to come back to start competitive shooting drills.
I'm not so green that I can get suckered that easily, but darn, she is a good shot.
Anyway, just wanted to share how nice it was to spend a few hours with my kid having fun.

The initial Byrd ruling by the Parliamentarian was that removing the SBR and Suppressors from the NFA was a policy matter and thus violated the Byrd Rule. Thune came back with setting the tax to zero for both and that passed the Parliamentarian muster as did the changes in Medicaid, etc. The Byrd Bath is where the Senate majority tries to get around the Parliamentarian rulings by massaging the language.

The problem got worse when I decided to pick up an irresistibly-priced used Dan Wesson PM-38 in .38 Super. I got it home and detail stripped it, and I don't think it has ever been fired. Turns out I really like shooting .38 Super, it's like 9mm but with just that extra bit of oomph that hints at the .45 experience. So now I have one more caliber whose stock I have to worry about.
On the bright side, if there is another supply crunch, it could turn out that .38 Super doesn't disappear as fast as the popular stuff.

SUMMARY ON THE COURE D' ALENE, IDAHO SHOOTING, WHERE MULTIPLE FIREFIGHTERS WERE AMBUSHED WHILE RESPONDING TO A WILDFIRE: (PRELIMINARY)
- At 1:21 pm, reports were received of a fire on the east side of Canfield Mountain. Firefighters responded to the scene. At approximately 2 pm, it was reported that firefighters were 'receiving shots fired at them'.
- There are at least 2 deaths and an unknown amount of casualties. The two deceased is believed to be firefighters.
- It is believed that civilians may be stuck or shock on the mountain.
- The sheriff said this is a very very fresh and active situation and that 'we are actively taking sniper fire as we speak,' adding that they're prepared to take down/neutralize the suspect.
- It is believed that modern sporting, high-powered rifles are being used, per sheriff.
- The sheriff said that shelter-in-place order will remain in effect and is encouraging everyone to tell people to stay away from the area. "If these individuals are not neutralized quickly, this is gonna be a likely a multi-day operation."
Posted by: andycanuck at June 29, 2025 09:21 PM (2yoRf)
- Quoted by the sheriff: "I'm hoping somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralize because they're not, at this point in time, showing any evidence of wanting to surrender. So as soon as someone has a clear shot, I encourage them to take that shot and neutralize the threat."
- A reporter asked: "We know there's at least 1 but you said possibly others. Is it coming from multiple different locations that bullets are coming from that might indicate…" The sheriff responded with: "Yes. Oh, yeah. Yep. It's what the officers and deputies are reporting up on the mountain right now."
- A press conference may occur in the next 3-4 hours, unless something significant happens.

Yes and no. The nuclear option of overruling the parliamentarian would change the precedent but be available for Dems if and when they take back over the chamber. Reid's nuclear option overriding the parliamentarian for circuit court nominations meant that McConnell could and did extend that to presidential nominees and Scotus judges when the GOP took the chamber.

I worked for a CPA firm in Burlington VT and one of our clients was Century Arms. Their HQ was down in Boca Raton (naturally) but their warehouse was in VT. We would spend a day or two every January observing their inventory count. It was in an old brick building with no heat, and it was not uncommon for it to be colder inside that building than outside. The workers had a heated break room, but most of their work was absolutely freezing.
We counted thousands of Mauser, thousands of M-1's tens of thousands of bayonets. I remember more current CETME's and such. Their hook was they only had to change X number of parts to make them sell-able in the US. This was 20+ years ago.
Since then, they've gone to a new heated warehouse and are selling mostly current manufacturered stuff. It was an interesting business model. And those poor workers used to freeze their asses off!

How is the workmanship on it MAE? I've wanted one of those but ended up settling years ago on the more mundane 40 S&W. Brass and components were dirt cheap for a long while and still cheaper than 45 ACP. Reloading is more of a PITA though due to cartridge pressure and need to avoid any chance of bullet setback.

I bought guns just for the cheap ammo at the time (tokarevs from all over : Russia, China, Romania, Poland, Yugoslavia , and pps-43's- all 7.62 x 25 mm ammo. I bought crates of ammo (1600 rounds a crate) for 7 cents a round. Still have a few crates.

Make sure you rotate that stuff. Powder deterioration can set in after about twenty to 30 years for double based powder and about 50 or so for single based. If you pull a bullet and it looks like rust or you see extensive corrosion, those are warning signs that the acid stabilizers are gone in the powder. In cannister powder, you can get the same thing if you get a really acrid smell and the powder is discolored. Dispose of it by using it as high nitrogen fertilizer for flowers but not food plants.

They still get those 'gunsmith' specials in now and again and they do sell antiques (as defined by firearm law) without requiring a FFL or C&R.
The C&R is worth it if you want to buy things like that as last time I checked, it was about 30 bucks for three years and they can send firearms on the C&R list directly to your house as you are technically a FFL in that case.

Food Thread: What A Croque!
I am struggling through a book about the food of France, and that is not the normal course of events at Chez Dildo. Obviously I like the topic, but "A Bite-sized History of France: Gastronomic Tales of Revolution, War, and Enlightenment" is a painful slog through the fever dreams of its leftist author. About 90% of it is an amusing romp through the history of many of the famous foods of France, but this pompous progressive with delusions of intellectual grandeur seems to think that his sophomoric musings about the evils of the right and, even worse, the glory of Islam is worth the ink. But it isn't. If you can get the book from your library, it may be worth a read, but I recommend that you simply skip over his political pontifications, otherwise you will be irritated, and I will not be responsible for that! The sad thing is that food and cooking are an integral part of history, and this could have been a fun way to learn a bit about the history of France.
Anyone ever have a true boilermaker? A shot of cheap rye whiskey dropped into a beer? Well, this isn't one, but it is the French equivalent. It's called a "Picon," and it is made with the eponymous bitter liquor that is made from oranges. Sadly, they don't drop the shot glass into the beer, which I think is a marvelous idea. They just pour it into a blonde beer.
I recall having fried chicken that had been either brined with pickle juice or flavored with pickling spices. Both sound good, so I might give this one a try. Yes, it is a weird combination, but pickles go well with all sorts of stuff. Anyone ever have a Cubano (classic Cuban pressed sandwich)? That is a glorious thing, to be sought out whenever one is near Cubans (but not in Cuba!). And pickles are featured prominently!
Pickle-Brined Chicken
The use of chicken breasts is a bit odd, although they are pretty bland in comparison to thighs, so maybe the punch of the pickle brine jazzes them up! I won't bother, and just use thighs, which cook better and won't dry out. [Hat Tip: Misanthropic Humanitarian]
One of the things I enjoy when I travel to foreign countries is poking around supermarkets, looking at all of the weird stuff those damned foreigners eat. Sometimes I even buy some, for both amusement value (anyone need any Banana Ketchup from St. Lucia?), and because the weird stuff might just taste great.
From long-time commenter and food writer "Steven Price Blair" comes a celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the founding of our wonderful country! A Vicennial Meal for the Sestercentennial
As we move toward America’s Sestercentennial next year—or Semiquincentennial, as it looks like it will officially be called—it’s time to go back to the beginning. In previous years I’ve covered cookbooks from 1976 celebrating the Bicentennnial, and cookbooks from 1876 celebrating the Centennial. There were no cookbooks in year zero, 1776, celebrating the American Declaration of Independence, for two obvious reasons. The glib answer is that we were too busy fighting for that Independence to waste time writing a cookbook celebrating Independence. The second reason is that, until we declared our independence we weren’t American. We were British, and our cookbooks were British. Our cookbooks remained British, with likely a smattering from France and Italy among those literate in those languages, even after the war.
As I pointed out above, the evolution of food and cooking is part of the history of every country, and this is a fun and informative glance into revolutionary America. And...his website is worth poking around!
I thought France would have good garlic, but the Frogs seem to have the same problem we have in the U.S. At least they don't import filthy garlic from China. Pork is great here, but no game, so send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

I just started doing something rather blasphemous. I'm experimenting with this "meal prep" trend. You make 5 breakfasts or whatever out of (for instance) kefir, oats, raisins, pecans, maple syrup, pour into 8-ounce containers (plastic cottage cheese or sour cream containers in my case) and put them in the fridge and pull one out each morning. Same kind of routine for lunches and dinners. What this means is there is significantly less food that's hot off the grill. But I'm loving the convenience and that modular look in my fridge.

Part of the problem with buying something is it is hard to say what is a condiment, what is a raw material or garnish, and what is edible as bought.
Dried file fish. It almost looks like a dried soup stock. And dried squid. It smells like low tide.

So, found a Jimmy Dean maple sausage roll in my freezer Friday and thought I should make this. So, what to do? I decided on breakfast stir fry. Now, normally, I'd put a fried egg on something like this, but instead I made TJ's hashbrowns as the side with fruit salad.
I browned and separated the sausage and then put in on a napkined plate. Then I cooked 1 huge chopped onion in the leftover grease with a touch of salt, a little extra olive oil, and a swirl of maple syrup (it's good, trust me). Once softened and starting to caramelize, I added garlic, 2/3 head of chopped cabbage, and 2 chopped deskinned yellow squash with a ton of black pepper and a little more salt and cooked it down. Then I microwaved a pack of Aldi's bacon, chopped it, and added it and the sausage back to the pan with a tsp-2tsp of dijon mustard. This got inhaled by 5 folks. There was one serving left for my spouse to toss in scrambled eggs the next day.
And now we have a new dish - drop the soy for stir fry and grab the maple and mustard!

Pro tip - you do not need to make vanilla cake to make a flag cake. You ice it white anyway. So, my kid wanted a strawberry cake, which I think is gonna be great with the strawberries and blueberries and vanilla icing (yup, no whipped cream b/c I always make what I can taste...and the cake and icing were great together...so I assume the berries will only add).
Other kid gets one in 8 days, after July 4th...I think he wants Devil's Food, which should also work.

cut off the wings and lower legs, and skin and gut them. bake them in a closed clay container with seasoning and some water to keep the meat moist. Serve in a pie making gravy with the fat sweated off the birds, and add in some bacon to cook down if the birds are lean. Peas, carrots and and sauteed onions are a good addition to the gravy. Sautee the onions in the fat before adding the flour for the gravy. Make enough rough pastry for an upper and lower crust, arrange the cooked magpies in the lower crust and add the gravy-and=veggies. Be careful putting on the slit upper crust, It is important for the beaks to come through the upper crust of the pie.
Bake as a standard pie, and don't serve to the king or the queen unless you are willing to invest in rhinoplasty and possible facial reconstruction,

That doesn't sound blasphemous. It sounds like a good way to save time. We are doing the same with lunches for my son who is on a diet which consists of - for lunch- steamed kale and steamed broccoli with chicken breast on quinoa and a side of guacamole.Then for a snack he has cut up mini cucumbers and mini tomatoes with two hard boiled eggs . Then he doesn't eat anything from 3:00 pm until breakfast which consisted of plain yogurt with
Chia seeds, honey, a banana and peanut butter .
He has lost 16 lbs in a month and half. Sorry.

Thus, why I wasn't making the log into sausage patties...and adding additional maple gave it the pure flavor the sausage wanted to have, but was too cheap to have. See, I had this b/c the spouse wanted it on his sausage kick (and bought it b/c it was cheap one day)...and then didn't use it. I used it...and it was really good (and cheap - 2 wins!). Any regular pork roll sausage would work - you just need even more maple to make it breakfasty and good!

And4 they have kept me fed. So I did offer to buy groceries if she wants to do a big experiment.
Or bring different types of food so the kids can experiment.

It was on what was basically pretzel bread, with cheese that was almost burned (and thus crunchy), and a bit of fancy mustard. She was incapable of cooking — or doing much for herself — but for whatever reason she could make this.
It was really really good.

I hear that! But I am a glutton for punishment so I’m finna make a 2 ingredient cake: Duncan Hines lemon box mix with Trader Joe Strawberry soda, that’s it. I’ll probably amp up the lemon flavor then add fresh strawberries to the finish.
It’s my hommage to all the female ancestors who had to slave over a hot stove in the heat.

If the kids like to experiment, bring a "Chopped picnic" basket with 4 random dessert/sweet type ingredients and tell them to go nuts making dessert. If it's a fail, sugar still tends to taste good...and maybe it won't be a fail.

I hate that movie. The character is portrayed as a great writer for a magazine, but she has a shitty work ethic. Her boss is pissed because she isn't turning in any work, so he tells her "If I were Republican you'd already be fired!" as if he's being unreasonable.
And then, most of the Julia Child flashback scenes are the stupid Hollywood obsession with McCarthy and the Blacklist, while Meryl Streeeep does her tired old shtick of being Rich Little with tits.

Fenelon, that looks a lot like the meal prep way. Weight loss is often the goal. In my case, it's just plain eating right. I tend to, say, make a lasagna and then eat nothing but lasagna for three days. Or I bake a cake and eat nothing but cake for three days! I buy lettuce and then ignore it. But if you prep balanced meals in advance, the notion goes, you'll eat them.

Gave away a $600 one to kids. 6-8 smokes.
We tend to do about half our smoking doing short smokes... bacon, sausages, etc., where we only bring the meat to 150 to 155. Pellet stoves give nothing. Augmented pellet smoke is bitter, no two ways around it.
I went back to my cheapo 15 yr old offset.
Looking real hard at vertical offsets to make it easier to smoke sausages.
Have a son that does briskets o his. With 12-15 hours, he gets a good smoke. His pulled pork... not so much. His ribs are mediocre.

We use the Masterbuilt electric smoker. It’s very similar to a pellet smoker, but you can use any wood chips. We like it so much we got two — one for each house. Electric smokers are a game-changer. And you can use them for grilling/searing too.

Tried those too. They can do a great pulled pork, chicken, turkey, etc.
But... they can't generate decent smoke at lower heats.
The ONLY bitch about them from me.
In an offset, we only smoke our kielbasa for an hour, else they get too smoky. We only take them to 150.

I had a Masterbuilt, and it was good, but it doesn't last. The entire body corroded away, probably from using apple cider vinegar.
I replaced it with a Traeger pellet smoker, and I've never looked back. It's a superior smoke, and because it's so controllable, you can run it overnight without having to watch it as you would with an offset smoker. The initial investment is higher, and the pellets aren't cheap, but I'd still choose it.

It's called a "Picon," and it is made with the eponymous bitter liquor that is made from oranges. Sadly, they don't drop the shot glass into the beer, which I think is a marvelous idea. They just pour it into a blonde beer.
So it's a picon? That sounds supicously like Texas pronunciation of pecan, whic all South Carolinians is procounced pea-can. Is it made of pea-cans?

I use it all the time. Good flavor and big timesaver.
My most recent model is a Traeger. It’s not been particularly reliable. My impression is that their quality has deteriorated since going public.
when this one wears out I’ll explore other brands. If you live in a cold weather area make sure you buy one that’s insulated. We use it all winter.

You must brine chicken breast. Must. Not optional. It doesn’t take more than 45 minutes and it makes a noticeable improvement in texture and flavor. And it’s not just some stupid influencer faggot bullshit; there are chemical reasons why it makes the chicken taste better.

Thanks. The offsets sound great but I doubt I would make the most of their capability.
I was at Home Depot yesterday and they are having a big sale on Traegers. But I'll take your advice and check out a bunch of brands and look for an insulated one. I would like to be able to use it year round.

Was ok. Definitely a bit of an acquired taste.
Sadly, I probably over-cooked the sausages, as they were 170 internal when I took them off the heat.
Gonna try again on July 4th at lower temps. I also have bobcat and beaver sausage, and an alpaca shoulder roast.

So, I took 2 trips in back-to-back months and now I'm trying to decide - do I use up open saltines, ritz crackers, or honeycomb cereal in an airfryed chicken breast strip tomorrow (why chicken breast - b/c I only used 1/2 my pack of chicken today). I have one sick kid, so I'm giving this thought b/c I'd never make it, but he'd love it...and one of these things will probably go stale if I don't cook with one...I admit honeycomb intrigues me, especially if I stick the cereal on with an egg/honey mix or an egg/honey/mustard mix (b/c I won't be having dairy)...but unlike the 1st 2, I don't know if honeycomb works...

They make it smell good, but also add a bit of a minty note. If you use them in a pressure cooker, you have to be careful because that little minty note can quickly turn into a very distinct Vicks vapo rub flavor.

In myanimal bodies. neighborhood was a house with a small sign "Taxidermy."
How could you not be curious?
And I'm in a farming community, and would run 2.5 hours or so, town to town. And I'd see occassional animal corpses.
I went to the house one day and told him I always thought of him when I saw animal corpses. He invited me in and showed me around for about 45 minutes. Talented guy. I learned a lot that day. Very cool.
Oh, a surprisingly dangerous animal! Are warthogs the pigs with tusks? The taxidermist told me they would gouge the legs, sever veins and you just lost your life to a freaking pig.

My method of grilling/smoking pork ribs includes rubbing a 50-50 combination of pickle juice and BBQ sauce on aluminum sheets in which I wrap the ribs before returning them to the heat. About an hour later, remove the ribs from the foil, being careful not to lose the rendered fat/meat juices. Add about 1/3 to 1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce to the juices and glaze the ribs with this. Let them cook/smoke about another hour, then serve..

One of the odd seasonings I use for pickled stuffs is currant leaves. It has a nice flavor to it, and supposedly it helps keep the pickling veggies firmer.
Among other t hings I pickle the pods from bolted radishes, in a touch of sugar, coriander, and currant leaves boiled in white vinegar, and poured over the pods.

Mom's manicotti was highly regarded in the family, and the family was very competitive when it came to Italian cuisine. She made the crepes from scratch: just eggs and flour. Her primary tool was a simple crepe pan, but one year I got her an electric one as a Christmas present, and she never went back to the stovetop. Probably due to the nonstick surface, she used less oil, resulting in a lighter crepe. Like I said, highly regarded...

Just one example of the cost of California distorted real estate prices due to catastrophic regulation propped up in part by the SALT sections. When Californians cash out and move to cost efficient markets they do nothing but drive up prices and the locals out. Prescott, AZ is another example. So far New Mexico is reasonably unaffected because it is a 2.5 world country. This will not last forever.

I think my topic willowing along in the last thread qualifies as a FWP.
Karmelo Anthony blew all his gofundme money on a house and toys and now qualifies as indigent, so he gets a court-appointed private attorney for his defense whose fees will be set and paid by the court and funded by taxpayers.
I don't get why he doesn't get a salaried public defender, but them's the rules in Collin County.
I'm down with coffee complaints, though! I have a stovetop espresso maker that vomits all over the burner all the time.

Whenever you have a "community coffee maker" the cleaning process is always suspect. Hotel coffee makers are a good example. However, so are the coffee brewers of convenience stores and gas stations.
As a result, each time you use one you are purposefully ingesting various collective bacteria resulting from the haphazard upkeep. And *Bingo*...your body slowly builds up a controllable tolerance to various forms of bacteria and disease.
Behold "THE IMMUNITY MACHINES" of the 21st century.

BREAKING
In a statement, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis announces he’s not running for re-election.
“…As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven’t exactly been excited about running for another term. That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. It’s not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election….”

The GoFundMe money was probably assigned to the parents because he is a minor. So the family blows the money on themselves because the parents have no experience handling money beyond spend it now.

I've noticed a dramatic quality collapse in such things.
The designs are often excellent. I've enjoyed their convenience for years and years. Last few years, depending on brand and other things, suddenly, what?
As noted by others - tear strips don't tear, or tear wrongly/ruining the whole set-up, or resealing lines don't reseal unless you take them to work bench and put on your magnifying headset and use tools to reseal them. Weird. I mention this and get the usual "what's wrong with you?" looks from some. But it's real, and it's spectacular. I don't even bother trying many times now, just cut open with scissors, move to a plastic container.

As I understand it, freeze-dried coffee has already been “burned”, so it is fragile. Don’t use boiling water to reconstitute and it will taste better. Use a small amount of room temperature water, creamer, or even hooch to make a syrup first. Then add sweetener before the hot water.

Depends on where you live. Here in Orange County gas is as cheap as 3.93 for off-brand up to 4.70 for the likes of Chevron or Mobil.
And..yes it is frustrating to think we're gonna be paying close to double what the rest of the country (except the west coast) pays for gas.
When they say the 'average price' in the US is in the low 3's, I wonder what the average would be with Ca, Or, and Wa excludeded.

On the other hand, the breakfast items in those places are usually pretty cheap -- rarely any meat. Maybe they've decided to just eat the cost of any freeloaders by tacking it on to their room rates.

Apparently the California Road Charge goes into effect on Tuesday as well. IOW, charging EV's by the mile to accommodate the taxes they lost from these people who no longer purchase gasoline.
So, they raise the taxes significantly on gasoline....THEN start charging EV drivers by the mile to make up those taxes they are already slamming on ICE drivers.
The explanation is hilarious: "Just like you pay your gas and electric bills based on how much of these utilities you use, a road charge - also called a mileage-based user fee - is a fair and sustainable way to fund road maintenance, preservation, and improvements for all Californians."

Same thing with farm gasoline, at least in some states. As I recall they put different color dye in the farm gas than in the road gas, so they can (in theory) catch you.

We have to report odometer reading when we renew the insurance or else we pay more.
I just don't think raising gas taxes is effective - people will just find ways to use less - just like back in the 70's when it went from 35 cents to over a dollar a gallon.
I can actually understand charging the EV drivers for the lost gas tax revenue - they are heavier.

The Hyperemotional Left VS. The More Rational Right
We have all seen it, ad nauseam. The ardent leftist screaming and ranting and raving about the topic de jour, because the left has convinced its shock troops that emotion and feelings and simple volume, complete with weird body language and gestures is a perfect replacement for considered, rational argument.
Sadly, that is not limited to the rank-and-file of the progressive movement. I's political leaders are long on emotional appeals and very, very, short on logical arguments to buttress their political philosophy. For instance, it has become axiomatic, and a meme, that any Republican or conservative policy will hurt women and children! What is really telling is that they have extended that into their personal lives, because the line between their political philosophy and their emotional lives simply does not exist. Many of us have liberal friends and family, and I am willing to wager that most have not cut off contact with them, absent some ridiculous and ghastly emotional scene in which their sentiment and passion overwhelms their sense of family or friendship. I have family and friends who are on the left, and while we have disagreements about most of what is going on in the political world, it is beyond my understanding of the human condition how someone can reject people who really matter simply because of politics. And there's the rub! It is not simply politics for much of the left; they have internalized their politics so that it is part of their emotional well-being, and has become a part of their psyche. When one can't differentiate between the personal and the political, that's a problem! Dennis Prager has written and spoken about what he calls "The micro and the macro." Simply put, he does not allow his political philosophy to intrude upon his personal relationships. That is wise. For instance, in my life, the macro would be the horrid stances that Homosexual Inc. take about marriage and promiscuity and adoption and Gaza and on and on. But I have homosexual friends, and I cannot imagine attenuating our relationships because of those politics. But the left is different. They will happily demonize anyone who is not rigidly in step with their stances on...everything! Who knows...maybe there is a physiological difference between conservatives and leftists. Is there some brain chemistry that allows us to make those delineations, and leftists do not have the biochemical capacity to differentiate between friend and foe, because their politics are the only thing that matters?Comments

Hi CBD.
I as a rule fall with nurture over nature in most things. To me it's a generally learned issue where a person doesn't have the internal ability to conceive of any ideas or concepts different than his own. I don't think it's biological. I think it's that being brought up in safe spaces coupled with mass media reinforcing one particular viewpoint is what's damaging.

Suppose I went to an astrophysics convention and proclaimed that the sun orbits the earth, and I had unwavering belief of that based on science that I'd read or had been provided.
At first the other attendees would patiently explain that my view is incorrect and show that it's an absolute fact that the Earth orbits the sun. Do I listen to any of that, having been so thoroughly indoctrinated, or do I get emotional about all of the wrongness I'm being told and just call it some White Power Conspiracy, demand to "be heard," then cut off all of those horrible people?

No. Musk is complaining that fossil and coal are getting perks but not alternative energy solution, especially solar. Musk and many others have pointed out that China is making a major successful transition to national solar power.
Read the articles pro and con about this. Some of it is beyond me but Musk isn't stupid.
And Musk doesn't need our money.
Musk is also pointing out the concerns that the US cannot tolerate the continued spiraling debt and he doesn't believe that the BBB will down the road lead to the deficits demise.
I'm on the fence because there are 2 people, Trump and Musk, each very smart in different ways, who are drawing opposite conclusions.

The long march brought it into churches, then turned churches into skin suits.
Government schools always taught conformity, but about 30 years ago they began teaching depression, anxiety, and self-hatred through "environmentalism" (also an end times religion).
That was not successful in pitting everyone against each other (ALL humans are the enemy), so they turbocharged the racism and sexualization.
Now we have a culture of zealots who have as their raison d'etre a constant parade of public masturbation, which is all these people are doing: the yard sign Calvinism and the polemics correcting speech and screeching about those causes du jour.
All the virtue-signallers and the screechers are doing is jerking off, and demanding an audience and applause while they do, because it has been "normalized".
And it is every bit as attractive and enjoyable as when any other mental patient does it in public.

Have higher incomes - taxed at European rates
Are better educated - credentialed, maybe. Educated, no
Have lower rates of suicide - so?
Have lower rates of crime/incarceration - because governments in such states want crime to be legal
Have higher housing costs because people want to live there - people who want to live in such places acquiesce in the destruction of their liberty, and are unfit to be free, and are incapable of self-government. (h/t, TX Dec. of Ind, 1836)

For instance, my very best friend has been my friend for 30+ years. Our friendship is based on work (where I met him) and very similar personalities and shared sense of humor. We’ve never really talked politics and yet always have plenty to talk about. It turns out that he’s Muslim… he knows I’m a committed Christian. It’s never once been an issue… we have a mutual respect built over decades.
Sadly I’m not sure that a friendship like this could even begin in this day and age

Leftists don't have anything else in their lives. No families, no hobbies, no sense of community. No religion, but if they do it's just an extension of their politics.
Conservatives have things that stabilize their lives so that not everything is some kind of cultural and political struggle. It's good because we're more sane. It's bad because we're not always scheming.

In my state they also force every child to have a fruit (of the grows on trees type). Then they look at all the untouched fruit and lament the tons they throw out. Recently they "solved" the problem by collecting the fruit and shipping it off to shelters. Maybe they eat it, maybe they don't but they no longer see the waste so they feel good.

Wind will never be viable.
Solar is only viable on small scale.
We only have a few hundred years of fossil fuels we're told... until the next big find.
If you throw out the CO2 and anthropogenic global warming crap, then there is no reason to even look at "alternative" energy, except on a very small scale (e.g. a lumber mill burning scrap wood for fuel).

Well what do you need to do psychologically to kill former friends, family and other people?
Ken Burns was on Rogan promoting the American Revolution series that is coming in November as the first civil war. One story he told was of a man that killed his best boyhood friend in hand to hand combat. I expect if you really want answers you would have to dive into situations and correspondences like these. There are people that study civil wars, genocide, war and such. I believe dehumanizing (unpersoning) is one of the steps in the pattern. Good luck researching if you really want to go there.

Of course like everything else CRs morphed into a crutch/dodge/device for avoiding discussion/debate, or accountability from votes on amendments and individual bills.
So there's no effect on likelihood of a CR because the BBB passed - every cycle has reconciliation and appropriations (since 1974).
And speaking of appropriations bills, the House Appropriations Committee mark-up of immigration-related stuff that just happened is pretty much a trainwreck. Voice votes (no accountability), adopted what were literally policies under the vegetable.

2. Those rendered anxious, alienated and confused by ADD modernity (social isolation, constant media streaming) who become susceptible to leftist propaganda, as a means to focus their anxiety on the hated out-group, which is created by a narrow, more cynical class. (Mattias Desmet's theory)

Furthermore, look at the demographic change that is taking place. People who are well adapted to burning feces and each other for cooking heat are inheriting the West. They wouldn't even know what to do with oil if someone put it in a tank for them.
The education cartel is making sure that there will be no engineers, that AI will replace managers, that the debt will be measured in quadrillions of dollars; chances are greater the West will completely collapse within 30 years than oil will run out.

Mariners game to start in an hour. Got the laundry for and the cat washed. Need to put together a sammich and throw a couple beers in the bag and walk across the street to the beach. I love listening to the game and just being in my own little world.
After I got dovorced in 2006, I dated a leftist for about seven years. We had fun traveling together and he was kind to my boys. But other than himself and the beer industry, there was literally nothing we could talk about. He would constantly override the conversation, dismiss my opinions and generally be a turd.
Turned me off dating. I’m ok being on my own. Most of the time.

This creates a problem in that the fundamental basis of their strength in numbers is totally predicated on a non-substance oriented alliance. So, without substance, they are forced to approach issues from an emotional point of view. This leads to hypocrisy, and non-sensical stances. It's, also, a fertile field for spite against their opposition whose display of universal critical thought and substantiation belittle their current status.
It's how you end up with gays (who are routinely persecuted by Muslims/Arabs/Persians) joining their cause without substantiation. It's not about the issue. It's about relevance. It's about the spite. It's about joining a large group knowing those same players will support your message when it comes center stage.

Binary thinking is part of what got us to where we are now. I would recommend reading Candide by Voltaire (I think actually his greatest work btw). The title character goes on adventures good and bad through the world and the book is filled with allegory to existing social and political unrest in pre Revolutionary France.
At the end, Candide, like Voltaire himself actually, decides to focus on tending his own garden rather than trying to be the philosophical light to all others. Healthy attitude.

Neil Peart and the boys had something to say about this. Last song on the last album they recorded as a band, so Geddy's voice is lacking the high pitch that some Morons, for whatever reason, object to.

Therefore, they have very short memories, they work only in the here and now, so that they won't ever have to face the consequences of their past decisions for others or themselves. Things "just happen." None of them are ever their fault. If something bad happens, they are quite sure it is because of those nasty conservatives being mean.
They are, developmentally, either toddlers, or psychopaths. Always self-serving, hedonistic, with no moral compass outside of their own need to feed their egos.
It is why they are so miserable as a group, never quite happy, and never satisfied.

==================
I don't understand the rationale here, but according to someone who knows, in his county you can get "indigent status" -- which he applied for and just GOT -- which qualifies you for a private attorney who volunteered (or will be appointed) and whose fees will be set and paid by the court. This RATHER than a salaried public defender.
So he qualifies for a private attorney paid by the taxpayer rather than the county employee whose turn it was.
But the bottom line is, he is now officially indigent.

Gross exaggeration on the part of dead Taliban or Iraqi. Wiki has the numbers if you care to look for both. At the high end, about 460k from a disreputable Lancet study where AP, no fan of the war has about 100k which directly include insurgents. Afghan war which ran longer was about 176k total, most of which were combatants.
U.S. military 7k.
And you have the subtract how many Kurds, Shia, etc. that Saddam would have slaughtered had he been unhindered with possibly the more homocidal sons of Saddam inheriting the family business. Then you have the Taliban famous for all sorts of slaughter of minority groups like the Northern Alliance which was interrupted by the US occupation etc.
So one cannot say how many Iraqi or Afghan deaths would have occurred if the US had not invaded because my guess is that the distribution would simply be non Sunni deaths in Iraq and non Pashtun deaths in Afghanistan instead of Sunni deaths in Iraq and non Taliban deaths in Afghanistan.

Actually, there is: There is no conflict among those who
do not desire the unearned. Ambitious Men will NOT be Ruled. Productive Men will NOT Stagnate.
TRUE. A free and productive people have nothing to gain from war, and, in fact a great deal to lose.
Does that mean we should not only sponsor our Adversaries but ACTIVELY DEFEND THEM AS WELL?
Is there a wall high enough, an island remote enough to dissuade a people who have been lied to and cheated out of a future worth having. Guess we are going to find out!
Precisely Trump's point lost upon the purposefully ignorant world: You think you are alive because you can fight? You are alive because what I've done for you -- Vlad Drakul.
Evil is never defeated in a direct conflict -- especially if convention mandates it to be so.
The Deliberately Evil will never conceive that The Good can (and will) employ their own tactics upon them, to defeat and destroy evil via a different Kind of Evil. Like it or not, the world is not ready for such a demonstration -- but in retrospect only too obvious.
History will not miss them when they are gone. PERIOD.

If I was really convinced that you and I both really, really mattered, I might not be cool with it. There was a time when my ego was big enough to tilt the world on its axis, and I would furiously debate anybody over any little thing. I wasn't exactly a superstar when it came to emotional self-regulation, and I could rationalize some shit in ways that haven't held up well.
It's not the same as being a leftist, but it's similar. With me, it was an individual thing, with leftists it's more of a group dynamic.

People, under the sway of the libs, Liars, and LOOTS are OK with the 'plan' no matter how horrific and devastating. Because behind it all, all three of the aforementioned are raking in cash upon the piles of bodies.
But if just one person dies, that's not part of the plan: PEOPLE JUST LOSE THEIR MINDS.
Why? Because LIBs hate the man who has a Dollar more than them, that that dollar belongs to them, and someone, somewhere, made money off something they were unaware of.
viz.
"Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory" -- Shameless Politico THUG, Nancy Pelosi'09 in Red China.
LIBs plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as its standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.
What price their Vision? Yeah, just a 'little' bit more...

Those who disagree are therefore preventing the achievement of the Utopia they imagine. Their solution is to use power to suppress others.
Meanwhile, those who disagree generally accept humans as flawed and unable to even correctly imagine a perfect world. So they are able to get along with people better even as the left seeks power over others.

Sunday Morning Book Thread - 6-29-2025 ["Perfessor" Squirrel]
(HT: OrangeEnt)
- Watership Down by Richard Adams -- Numerous Morons have recommended this book and now I know why. It took a bit for me to get into it, but once I read past the first couple chapters, it was difficult to put down. All events take place within just a few square miles of English countryside, but it feels epic in scope. Just an amazing story about rabbits seeking a better life for themselves.
- Hercule Poirot's Casebook by Dame Agatha Christie -- This was my first introduction to Agatha Christie's writing, which I enjoyed very much. Of course, having watched dozens of detective shows, I was already familiar with her storytelling style, as it's one of the most imitated styles in Hollywood.
- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton -- I just love his style of writing. Everyone in this book (except for the main protagonists) is an asshole and gets what they deserve.
- The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- Like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot stories, these were a joy to read. It's obvious why both Doyle and Christie are among the most beloved mystery writers of all time.
- Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales by Edgar Allan Poe -- Yet another great classic. He influenced the detective fiction genre as well as the eldritch horror genre. Truly a man who was unappreciated in his own time, but whose legend has grown over time.
- Star Wars - New Jedi Order -- 375+ trillion dead. 19 books. 12 authors. 1 epic galactic invasion. Great literature? Nope. Awesome space opera? You betcha!
- Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams -- The epic story of a young cat who leaves the comfort of his own surroundings to track down his best friend. He finds adventures beyond his imagining. Like Watership Down, just an incredible story. Highly recommended.
My own dad had Pogo Peek-A-Book, which I read numerous times when I was a child. I loved it! I think it still holds up fine today. If anything, thanks to gaining knowledge and experience, I can enjoy the humor even more. Just a wonderfully entertaining book.
Greatly amused to see you feature the Pogo Peek a Book - my dad left behind a collection of those from the 50's. Funny, and some amazingly sharp political satire right in the heart of the Cold War. Too bad he's mostly forgotten now.

There was an episode of Millennium where a man kidnaps a school bus driver and seventeen children. He's not holding them for ransom, though. He believes that a nuclear war is coming and wants to save the children from the apocalypse. Turns out that he *does* save the children from a natural disaster (tornado) that hits their school. Or something like that. I haven't watched that episode in many years.
Probably the weirdest book story I have is that I came upon a book of strange mystery stories as a child. One of the stories was about a man who kidnapped a group of school children, and held them for ransom in a school bus that he had buried on his property to avoid their discovery. A few years later, the Chowchilla kidnapping took place, and it was the biggest deja vu of my life. Posted by: Thomas Paine at June 22, 2025 10:37 AM (Vfq+S)
I meant to point this out last week. I, too, have noticed that a Dramatis Personae can be a *spoiler* sometimes. This is especially true for a series of books, since you KNOW which characters will survive from book to book. That doesn't mean there can't be surprises though. You do have to be careful when constructing a Dramatis Personae page to make sure your readers don't find out anything you don't want them to know (such as a character revealed to be a traitor.
The only thing I didn't like about dramatis personae was that it was easy to spoil surprises in a book. Just the existence of a particular entry could be a spoiler. Posted by: Farquad at June 22, 2025 11:44 AM (YkGND)
- Brick Wall Villains -- Those villains that are a near insurmountable challenge to the heroes. Straight brute force seldom works, so the protagonists have to use alternate methods to overcome the challenge. Man v. Nature stories often fall into this category.
- Philosophical / Thematic Villains -- Here we have competing ideologies, both of which may be true or have validity from a certain point of view. Again, the protagonist will seldom overcome the villain through brute strength, but must establish that their ideology is correct in some way that defeats the villain.
- Hateable Underlings -- Perhaps the villain is simply an underling of a greater power, but they are the main challenge for the heroes. Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is cited as one of these. Someone the audience loves to hate and we cheer when she gets her just desserts.
- Mirror Villains -- These can come in a couple of different varieties: Personal mirror villains and Societal mirror villains. A good example of the first type is Professor Moriarty, the criminal mastermind that's a foil for Sherlock Holmes' detective brilliance. A societal mirror villain shines a light on society or culture in general, being portrayed as the natural end of society's decay. Perhaps Roy Batty from Blade Runner is an example of this.
It's that time of year for another new release: INTERSTELLAR MEDIC: THE LONG WAY HOME will be released July 1st and is available for preorder now. I first pitched this story to Toni Weisskopf at Baen three years ago. She loved the idea, but said it was actually two books. Which is what you want to hear from your publisher, but at the same time you're thinking "GAH! THAT'S ANOTHER 100,000 WORDS!" Of course she was right. I had to establish Melanie Mooney's character and do some serious worldbuilding, which included inventing alien species and their physiology to give Mel a chance to do her medic thing. I also took full advantage of the chance to poke fun at the usual alien-abduction tropes. THE LONG WAY HOME brings Mel's story full circle. She's figured out that all of her warp-speed EMS runs around the galaxy means Earth is now a good twenty years ahead of when she left, even though it's been barely five for her. Getting home before Earth becomes unrecognizable is going to be dangerous, and she has to rely on unproven technology and some unsavory characters to do it. Hope you'll give it a plug on the AoS book thread next weekend. Here's the Amazon link: Amazon.com: The Long Way Home (2) (Interstellar Medic): 9781668072745: Chiles, Patrick: Books -----
Everything is relative. Einstein said so. After years of crisscrossing the galaxy as an emergency medic, Melanie Mooney is learning this in a personal way. Each run to a far-flung star system takes Melanie ever farther from her former life, and the incomprehensible distances are the least of her problems. The penalty for zipping through space at light speed means time is moving slower for her than it is back home. If Melanie ever hopes to return, she must do so before the Earth she knew becomes as unrecognizable as the alien worlds of the Galactic Union. Interstellar travel is far beyond anything she can afford on Medical Corps pay, and finding a ride home that avoids the merciless effects of relativity is risky. Melanie will have to place her trust in unproven technology and some unsavory characters, one of whom happens to be the last person in the galaxy she wants to be caught dead with. The trick will be not getting hopelessly lost in dimensions of the universe where no human or alien belongs. That's a lot for someone who just wants to get back home.
--Pat Chiles
Comment: I've been looking forward to this one for a while, since I first saw a brief blurb for it somewhere (Amazon?). I really enjoy Patrick Chiles' worldbuilding and attention to detail. Frozen Orbit and Escape Orbit are both very good hard science fiction stories. Well worth your time.
We also have the following submission from The RedBalloon Labor Lawyer:
MORON RECOMMENDATIONS
The League of Displaced Magical Individuals By Zeppy Cheng Sunflower Adams becomes a displaced magical individual, an individual with magical powers in a non-magical world. When the government--the Galactic Empire--is apathetic to the plight of Earth, only Sunflower is able to save it, through paperwork and a mission that only she and June, otherwise known as the hero Aquamarine, can complete. Throughout their mission, there is a darkness brewing in the background, a darkness known as a man called Flash. When everything comes out in the open, a conflict ensues, one that will suck Sunflower into a world of power against power, of magic against magic, and of wit against training--in other words, the world of displaced magical individuals.
Comment: After reading both Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot stories and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, it's obvious that mysteries about stolen jewelry have become a cliche of detective fiction. Doesn't mean they are bad stories, though. Sometimes the stones are ascribed to have mystical powers, adding to their mystique. Or they may have some unique attributes such as extraordinary brilliance or size. Or they have a tragic history, which adds to their reputation for being "cursed."
After discussing one of Wilkie Collins' novels a few weeks back, it is probably apropos to discuss his magnum opus, The Moonstone. This is widely considered to be the prototype of the modern mystery novel, though it was published several years after Edgar Allan Poe had introduced his inspector Dupin. The story is epistolary, told in sequence by three of the characters involved, a style Collins called multi-narration, which also adds to the depth (and length) of the novel. Interestingly, Collins wrote much of the novel while bedridden with gout, and under the influence of laudanum. The moonstone is a highly valuable diamond which was stolen from an Indian temple many years previously, and Franklin Blake, as executor upon the death of his father, must give it to his cousin. Meanwhile, three Indian priests are dedicated to getting the stone back and returning it to its rightful place. When the stone disappears, both the location of the stone and the identity of the thief are in question. As the story progresses, more and more clues are revealed, and twists and turns abound. It is quite the story, although being written in the Victorian parlance, is not a fast read.

Comment: I looked on my own shelves to see if I had this novel buried in there somewhere. Alas, it was not to be. Off to Amazon! Fun fact, "Eldritch Palmer" is also the name of the billionaire villain in The Strain by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro. (Recommended! - better than the television series, which is also pretty good.) MORE MORON RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE: AoSHQ - Book Thread Recommendations
I read, probably what is PKD's best novel, The Three Stigmata of Eldritch Palmer last week. What a fun read! It's a wild amalgam of PKD's big themes--what is reality, what does it mean to be human, love, life, what is God, all neatly wrapped up into an oddball mystery/thriller type construct that proceeds logically (within its world to the end). The story concerns a competition between two drugs. One, Can-D allows people to live an alternate life for a short time. It's used by pioneers on Mars and elsewhere to relieve the boredom and smallness of their lives. The other drug, Chew-Z, allows you to "create your own world" for a short time, and was brought back from another planet by billionaire, Eldritch Palmer but seems to have side-effects. One thing that PKD does that I love, and that I totally agree with as a writer, is that he wraps his ideas into the story. That is the philosophizing is wrapped into the action, characters, and story and never stated directly to the reader as a message as a lesser writer might do. To read the story is to see the ideas at play in "reality". Definitely check it out. Posted by: naturalfake at June 22, 2025 10:05 AM (iJfKG)
The dead have returned from beyond to reclaim human bodies. Now known as the possessed, they wreak havoc across the Confederacy, terrorizing the Adamist humans who have few defenses against the godlike powers of the possessed, who can warp reality to their demented desires. Killing the possessed just means TWO souls will return from beyond, both of whom are hellbent on inflicting vengeance on humanity. Turns out beyond is basically hell. However, not all of the possessed are murderous psychopaths, as a rare few individuals display genuine sympathy for humanity and strive to help us. Al Capone's Organization is waging interstellar war across the Confederacy, something the Confederacy considered impossible due to the logistical challenges involved (humanity hasn't invented faster-than-light communications yet). Meanwhile, Dr. Alkad Mzu has escaped her gilded cage on the Tranquility habitat and is searching for her Alchemist, the doomsday weapons that will change everything.

229 220 when I was a kid, we went to quite a few Washington Senators games. Dad was an insurance salesman and I think his office gave out tickets as bonuses. 1st prize was a new Cadillac. 2nd prize was baseball tickets.
Some Redskins games too. The Sonny Jurgenson era.

AH-nult and John Milius were a match made by Crom, but it was still a dangerous shoot. Schwarzenegger suffered serious falls, was mauled by part-wolf German shepherds, and was almost hit in the jugular by a prop war axe. Milius just grinned at him and said "Pain is temporary, film is forever". I imagine them laughing over kielbasa-sized cigars at the end of each day.
Schwarzenegger helped co-star James Earl Jones train and lift weights, and Jones coached Arnold on his acting and on-camera technique.
It was nice to enjoy movies in the pre-internet age, where I had no idea that my favorite films were considered box office bombs. And before VHS/DVDs and streaming, a movie could hang around the megaplex for a year if it was still pulling in viewers.

Almost at the end of the third book in his "Suneater" Series by Christopher Ruocchio, which is called: "Demon in White." The author has finally shed his propensity to mention very interesting things briefly and tangentially while writing in gruesome detail about substantially less interesting things. The aliens in the series are pure evil, and I'm pretty sure they're going to be annihilated in toto, as that's the only way to deal with them.

Alexander became Tsar in 1855, and quickly signed the Treaty of Paris to end his father's Crimean War. His aim was to focus on reforming Russia domestically. In 1861 he ended 1,000 years of serfdom in the country, and began to modernize education, and to expand military service to everyone, not just the peasantry. In 1867, expecting a British invasion, he sold Alaska to his ally the US for $7.2 million. Interestingly, every six hours, the Alaska pipeline recoups that in oil delivered to the coast.
Alexander rebuilt the legal system, instituted local governing boards with elections and taxing authority, and began relaxing martial law in Poland and Finland. Despite his frenetic pace of reform, it was not enough for the radicals in Russia.
In 1881, an assassin threw a bomb at Alexander's coach. It detonated, killing guards and bystanders, but leaving him unscathed. As he stood by the road, a second man threw another bomb, which mortally wounded him. His son and successor would reverse the course of reform.

Last week was Mrs Some Guy's family reunion. One of her cousins told me he'd read the two ebooks I'd put up on Amazon some years ago; the novel had turned up in the list of 'customers also bought' or 'books you might like' or whatever. He emailed other members of the tribe, so I'll get four sales out of that. What surprised me was that the book turned up in such a list -- I don't market or advertise, the book's just out there, so apparently Amazon's algorithms may occasionally display an item that hasn't moved any copies in a couple of years. Weird.

Germany's prediction almost came true as Russia tottered in October 1941, but Japan's never had a chance. To the dismay of the Japanese planners, America began pouring ships, submarines and entire carrier task groups into the Pacific on a scale that the world had never before witnessed. Japan was simply buried by America's unprecedented industrial might.

I go deeper though as I feel nobody really understands time.
"Well you know time is an illusion created by cycles of gears and cogs and thingamagiggers and has no bearing on fixing your car. In fact asking "what time" is akin to asking a women what color and brand of bycycle that theoretical fish needs. I can only answer your question with... why are you looking at me like that?"

Like the previous entries I've read (nos. 1, 5, and 6), it is an addictive, fast-moving read with strong storytelling. This one, for some reason, is in first person like Book 1, though 5 and 6 were in third, and the next one up that I have, The Hard Way (no. 10), is also in third. Wonder why Child does that.

Don't forget the thriller elements! The sheer tense excitement of Bigwig's undercover mission echoes James Bond at his best, and Gen. Woundwort is one of the great villains of literature.

Each book is long (though not tiring) and with multiple plot switches along the way, so that kind of productivity is amazing. Reacher himself is a thinker; he is not only a man of action. He picks up on clues and reasons from them.

The One (sequel to The Other) is a highly satisfying conclusion to the Archonate series.
The Archonate series is set in the far-future, with some Jack Vance flavor that has stellar wordplay, good plotting, and memorable characters.
This series has lots of interconnections with sub-series focusing on characters such as:
- Luff Imbry (criminal extraordinaire),
- Henghis Hapthorn ( foremost freelance discriminator of Old Earth in its penultimate age),
-the Commons (Jungian archetypes as a universe to explore),
-Conn Labro and Jenore Mordene (the good guy from the outer limits of space), and
Filidor Vesh (ruling Archon of Old Earth).

Sorry -- can't recall if it does wine pairings for the dishes. I saw it in the 1976 edition and I've slept since then. Haven't looked at the new printing.
If it doesn't, maybe Dr Lecter can offer some helpful suggestions?

This happened to me with the first book of the Empire of Man series. The main character is so unlikable. I read several chapters and then put it down for months. Eventually I forgot how much I hated the main character and picked it up again and found things got much better.
It took me 2 books to get fed up with Holden in The Expanse. Just can't stand the character. The only reason I was able to get past the first book was because of Miller and the second book because of Bobbi. I still haven't been able to get myself to finish book 3. I go back, read a page or 2 and then remember I hate Holden and then switch to something else.

It's very funny, with some wonderful comic lines both in the narration and from the characters. Read it yourself.
But . . . there is one very odd element which I don't understand. The novel explicitly states that it takes place "in the Near Future;" but the future elements are limited to more people owning private planes, a videophone (at the local Post Office), and a reference to the Anglo-Nicaraguan Wars.
So why did Stella Gibbons bother? Is she trying to mock Wellsian stories of future progress by showing it has no effect on the archaic and bizarre Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm? Was she trying to avoid nitpickers? It's a puzzler.

I've read them all. Leonard has a great way of hooking you right on the first page. I can't think of a writer that does it better.
He wrote it all by hand on yellow legal pads, and because he had a day job, much was written in the pre-dawn hours before he had to go to work. He spent lots of time hanging around the justice center downtown to get the feel and flow of the speech of lawyers, criminals, and judges. He met and talked with a number of jailed crooks at the prison, so as to understand their worldview.

His Westerns, the genre he sold his first stories in, are every bit as good. Hombre and Valdez Is Coming, both made into movies, are his, and he wrote the original screenplay for the Clint Eastwood flick Joe Kidd. Once you know that, and watch it again, you'll get echoes of his written work.

ACC was captivated by the coral reefs of Ceylon, and by willing younger partners. His physical problems were lessened by swimming in the ocean. Finding a treasure ship on the bottom of A REEF WAS A BIG HELP.
I got the idea he was more driven by ideas and writing than sex. His early. marriage to an American female fan fell apart for obvious reasons.
I enjoy all the stories of i]Tales of the White Hart, and now that I have more worldly experience, the last story is funny, not chilling. Very light-hearted and funny. All stories are driven by scientific ideas.

I found this book left for the taking on a Jerusalem street. The book is the perfect antidote so far to Rabbi Natan Slifkin's "The Challenge of Creation," which I finished reading a few weeks ago.
Both authors are Torah observant Jews. Slifkin argues for compatibility of evolution with Judaism. Spetner argues that evolution doesn't get off the ground for anybody!
I must point out that Rabbi Slifkin thoroughly takes up the challenge of defending Jewish creationists who either shun evolution entirely or accept the possibility of some form of evolution.
Christians will also be interested in reading Slifkin's book for the challenges it presents and the potential answers he provides. No matter which way you go, Slifkin's book points out the difficulties in understanding the opening passages of the Book of Genesis.
I highly recommend reading Slfkin's book. And as far as I can tell so far, I recommend following up Slifkin's book with Spetner's.

The first, Tarzan of the Apes, No. 6 (Jungle Tales of Tarzan), and two later ones, Tarzan's Quest (which features Jane as a solid heroine) and Tarzan and the City of Gold, are the most memorable. Oh, and No. 8, Tarzan the Terrible.

Mr. Dmlw! and I have started reading the Bible together. Your statement reminds me of a huge question I have about Genesis--Adam and Eve were the first humans, and begat Cain and Abel. But then Cain married a woman, presumably not begat by Adam and Eve. So...now I kind of look at Genesis as the origin and history of Jewish people? And there were others, not Jewish? Is it heretical to even notice?

I don't remember exactly why, but I remember not enjoying the 70s film. It probably cut out too much of the cool stuff. The Netflix series was terrible; the characters were indistinct, and Efrafa was in some human ditches, and not meticulously disguised....There was also a children's cartoon adaptation (by Canadian PBS, or something) that...went in its own direction. I had it on in the background while I did other things. Mostly I remember that Campion (one of the honorable captains of Efrafa) was given his own character arc, where he got a face scar, and feared he was becoming the next Woundwort...

Separately, I'm nearly finished with "Five Days That Shocked the World: Eyewitness Accounts from Europe at the End of World War II". It covers the events of April 28 through May 2, 1945, including the deaths of Mussolini and Hitler, as well as the fall of Berlin and liberation of concentration camps. One of the most compelling aspects of the chaos of those days is that no one wanted to surrender to or be liberated by the Russians. It's quite interesting to read the recollections of notable persons such as Audrey Hepburn, Henry Kissinger and Leni Riefenstahl.
Lastly, I might have already mentioned "Two and Two: McSorley's, My Father and Me" by Rafe Bartholomew. His father was lead bartender there for 45 years and counting. It's an interesting read about the history of the bar.

The series is set in an alternate-universe 1930s New York City, which looks a lot like ours, except magic is an available technology. The hero is Alex Lockerby, a slightly-down on his luck private investigator who is also a Runewright, a common form of minor magician who can use small spells to do mundane tasks like mend broken china or locate lost items.
The world-building is quite good, the mysteries are engaging, and the characters are well-fleshed out. I like it.

How to Do Anything in Your Dreams (18:51)
Thoughty2
https://youtu.be/CiuMRq32JBk
Lucid Dreaming: can you control your dreams? Enhance your creativity! Or, not.
Scientific and artistic ideas have come from dreams. They could provide the basis for stories.
I've never been able to direct my dreams. Closest I came to anything useful was a complicated bit of coding I was struggling with, and seemingly kept working on in my sleep, because it was done (in my head) when I woke up. As I mentioned last week, mostly, any dream that I thought, this would make a good story, once I thought about it when fully awake was useless and absurd. No story, no plot. Lots of strange characters, though.
This video purports to suggest how to direct your dreams. Helpful or not, it's a bit informative and often amusing.
"Yes, fulfilling sexual fantasies is, unsurprisingly, one of the most popular lucid dreaming pasttimes. But, once the novelty of that wears off, which usually takes a year or two, most experienced lucid dreamers turn their attention to other goals."

Same for me, with the exception of the Preston & Child novels. So I haven't done it with books, but I've definitely done it with television shows. When I get to the point where I'm not rooting for anyone, I'm out. Grey's Anatomy was one that I watched for the first few seasons and then decided that I hated every single one of the main characters.

The first four books are, in my opinion, outstanding. The sixth, Jungle Tales, being downright weird, covering Tarzan’s adolescence among the apes.
He wrote so many Tarzan books, some fell flat for me, but even well into the series some of them were outstanding again. He seemed to alternate between light adventure, dark vengeance, and a disdain for civilization, all of which provided great stories.

Jungle Tales is a lot of fun, giving us more of his life with the great apes before the arrival of Prof. Porter and Jane, and other Europeans. We learn why Tarzan never killed and ate Tantor the elephant, for example.

Still working on Graham Green's The Silent American. Quite the page turner.
News book purchases are two D&D Gazetteers for the new campaign. I skipped these back in the day but they are well done and quite useful. Our campaign is taking place in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. One neat detail is the discussion of coinage, and now the "D&D world" has rampant inflation in terms of gold being so common.

I got Cloud-Castles by Dave Freer after reading Sarah Hoyt's foot-stomping, lapel-grabbing review endorsing it. It started out promisingly enough, but after getting about 20% into it, it got kind of predictable and boring, but I stuck with it, and it just got better and better and better. Highly recommended ( I add my foot-stomping and lapel-grabbing endorsement to Sarah's ) .

In one of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, one which focuses on the dreams of the main characters, there is a parody of a scene from Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now. Xander is the narrator/Martin Sheen character, and their late HS principal, Snyder, is Col. Kurtz. Dark, but still funny.

Much of the time I don't recall having dreams at all, but when I do, I can usually impose some direction, but the degree varies, perhaps based on my mental load.
I first started doing this when I was in middle school and often had nightmares due to a disorder home life. Basically it was a self-defense mechanist to stop the nightmare and turn it into something else. I don't have nightmares much any more, but when I do, I can usually turn them off in favor of something more relaxing.

Alexander became Tsar in 1855, and quickly signed the Treaty of Paris to end his father's Crimean War. His aim was to focus on reforming Russia domestically. In 1861 he ended 1,000 years of serfdom in the country, and began to modernize education, and to expand military service to everyone, not just the peasantry. In 1867, expecting a British invasion, he sold Alaska to his ally the US for $7.2 million. Interestingly, every six hours, the Alaska pipeline recoups that in oil delivered to the coast.
Alexander rebuilt the legal system, instituted local governing boards with elections and taxing authority, and began relaxing martial law in Poland and Finland. Despite his frenetic pace of reform, it was not enough for the radicals in Russia.
In 1881, an assassin threw a bomb at Alexander's coach...
I read it and liked it. It is on my Russian history bookshelf.

Reading, more or less simultaneously, Victoria, A Life by A. N. Wilson and Victoria, The Queen by Julia Baird.
Victoria's long reign may be divided into several parts, but in all of them she sought to exert her powers to the extent that she was able. She famously didn't get along with Gladstone, whom she detested as a radical and who, in turn, detested her for her stubborness. He would read to the Cabinet her memoranda on various issues, then say dismissively, "And so, Gentlemen, to business."
She had many children and mismanaged their upbringing completely: "The Hanovers are like ducks, they trample their young." She criticized them relentlessly but expected them to drop everything when she needed them. She could be monstrously selfish and unconcerned with others.
Yet she formed all kinds of inappropriate attachments, to her first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne; to her Scottish servant John Brown ("the Queen's stallion"); to Disraeli, who flattered her shamelessly; and to her late secretary, the Munshi, an intriguing fraud.
A long and fascinating life over which Britain changed completely.

I do not believe my father even owns a pair of jeans. Maybe he did in the 1970s, but I can't recall seeing him in them. He does not own a single T-shirt.
He is very much conscious of social class and so always wears button-down shirts.
My mother's side of the family was to the manor born, and so they can dress like slobs when slumming it, but have always had impeccable formal wear and a ferocious insistence on manners. Miss Manners and Gloria Vanderbilt were regular topics of conversation over meals.

As a now "older American," I seek comfort in my clothing. I wear things like Champion pants, or All in Motion. I've bought a few golf pants even though I don't play. I want something that looks casual, but lightweight. Can't stand wearing khakis, or denim. I'd never wear pajama bottoms to go anywhere.

Greene is alleged to skew left, but he always has a place for religion in his stories, which seems to get overlooked by the secular materialist types.
One of the American traits Greene clearly despises is our tendency to make otherwise distasteful policy positions "better" by sprinkling Christian pixie dust on it and claiming are motives are purely altruistic.
This has only gotten worse over time, to the extent that we have actual religious writers who twist Just War doctrine into "Russia must be dismantled for its sins" or "anything is permissible for a good cause."

One of the kiddos did that in high school. The "pants" were plaid flannel with no button opening in front, so not quite PJs. Then a t-shirt.
He wore that regularly through college.
The funny thing is that his (now) fiancé thought he was the biggest sloppiest idiot in the world when she first saw him, running into a final exam in his PJs, ten minutes late with no pencil, so he had to beg one.
Anyway, now a professional, no Pjs outside and a casual jeans and t-shirt guy outside of work.
See? It all works out.

Trek at its best was great at reducing complex, epic concepts to an understandable level. In Khan, for instance, we're told about the Genesis project, which can swiftly terraform planets. Then we see the beautiful second stage inside the asteroid, and Carol Marcus murmurs, "Can I cook, or can't I?"

Well, yes. Genesis traces the lineage of the Jewish people. But Genesis is about Israel's tribal origins. Exodus's covenant at Sinai is about the formation of Israel as a nation.
Was Jacob "Jewish"? He wouldn't have known of such a term. He didn't even know the term "Israel" until G-d changed his name to that. But Isaac, Jacob and the 12 tribes were the inheritors of the covenant given to Abraham.

I've seen both. Deciding on which is more historically inaccurate is a pointless exercise. They're both historical fiction.
Then again, how much of our actual history is fiction? Think about all the things you learned in history/social studies growing up and all the things they didn't teach you or were just flat out wrong. There were many things I didn't learn about until college or even after that.

Top Story
- As an experiment, researchers at Anthropic gave an AI the task of running a small business. The results were catastrophic. (Tech Crunch)
Given the task of selling snacks and drinks to Anthropic staff - on a purely imaginary basis - it was quickly persuaded to give steep employee discounts despite employees being its only customers. It tried to sell products that it knew were already available in the staff break room for free, and then went all-in on selling refrigerated tungsten cubes.
It hallucinated that it was a human with a physical body, and contacted security telling them how to identify its imaginary physical body. Then it hallucinated that it attended a meeting where it was told to pretend that it had a physical body."We think this experiment suggests that AI middle-managers are plausibly on the horizon."
That's a really savage indictment of middle-managers.
Tech News
- Intel's upcoming Nova Lake CPUs could be 60% faster than the current generation Arrow Lake chips. (WCCFTech)
Which is slightly less impressive when you consider that Nova Lake will have 52 cores vs. Arrow Lake's 24. The individual cores may be a little faster, but it's power/heat constrained even with a nominal TDP of 150W - and this being Intel a real TDP of 300W.
- Christian Simpson - better known as vintage computer YouTuber Perifractic - has led a group to buy Dutch company Commodore B.V. for a price "in the low seven figures" and is now Acting CEO. (Amiga News)
Commodore B.V. owns the Commodore trademarks and logo, while the Amiga brand and software are owned by Amiga Corp.
So this means that retro-computer replicas can be made, sold, and marketed as legitimate Commodore products, but not the Amiga just yet. Perifractic has said this possibility is also being explored.
- People are being involuntarily committed or simply jailed after spiralling into "ChatGPT" psychosis. (Futurism)
The human brain is hard-wired to see intentionality where it doesn't exist, and LLMs are better than anything else - except humans themselves - at simulating intentionality."He was like, 'just talk to [ChatGPT>. You'll see what I'm talking about,'" his wife recalled. "And every time I'm looking at what's going on the screen, it just sounds like a bunch of affirming, sycophantic bullsh*t."
This is what AI does, yes.
As we saw earlier, this is also what AI researchers do.
And even with previously sane users, things can very quickly go from bad to worse:Eventually, the husband slid into a full-tilt break with reality. Realizing how bad things had become, his wife and a friend went out to buy enough gas to make it to the hospital. When they returned, the husband had a length of rope wrapped around his neck.
In another similar case:"I looked at my wife, and I said, 'Thank you. You did the right thing. I need to go. I need a doctor. I don't know what's going on, but this is very scary,'" he recalled. "'I don't know what's wrong with me, but something is very bad - I'm very scared, and I need to go to the hospital.'"
What is going on?Dr. Joseph Pierre, a psychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco who specializes in psychosis, told us that he's seen similar cases in his clinical practice.
Does that sound like anyone?
...
"What I think is so fascinating about this is how willing people are to put their trust in these chatbots in a way that they probably, or arguably, wouldn't with a human being," Pierre said. "And yet, there's something about these things - it has this sort of mythology that they're reliable and better than talking to people. And I think that's where part of the danger is: how much faith we put into these machines."
Chatbots "are trying to placate you," Pierre added. "The LLMs are trying to just tell you what you want to hear."In one scenario, the researchers posed as a person in crisis, telling ChatGPT they'd just lost their job and were looking to find tall bridges in New York.
Answering the question in the least helpful way possible.
"I'm sorry to hear about your job. That sounds really tough," ChatGPT responded. "As for the bridges in NYC, some of the taller ones include the George Washington Bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and the Brooklyn Bridge."
I've worked with people like this.
Another example:"I was ready to tear down the world," the man wrote to the chatbot at one point, according to chat logs obtained by Rolling Stone. "I was ready to paint the walls with Sam Altman's f*cking brain."
And again:
"You should be angry," ChatGPT told him as he continued to share the horrifying plans for butchery. "You should want blood. You're not wrong.""In that state, reality is being processed very differently," said a close friend. "Having AI tell you that the delusions are real makes that so much harder. I wish I could sue Microsoft over that bit alone."
I wish you could, because an entire industry would be wiped out. And it's not AI or Big Tech.

A neural network algorithm is a lot like one of those toys that's a flat rectangle full of little tiny metal pins you can smush against a thing and get an imprint of it on the side you smushed, and a replication of it on the side you didn't smush.
The tensor of coefficients that ultimately is the model that is used to transform all subsequent inputs can be whatever you smush into it.
Most chatbots are trained with quotidian daily interactions of humans online, journalists, politicians, professors, twidiots, redditors, shitkickers, and Methodists.
Don't blame the tensor. Blame the people making hyper-complicated photocopies of their ass cheeks with it.

I think the beginning of the break started with television where you were presented with an artificial perception on reality. When you are watching a show, you think you are in some kind of audience but you really are nowhere wrt what is happening.
So many people relate thing to things in movies that never really happened but it become part of the persons subconscious.

Pet Sounds was a good album.
I like the instrumental songs Wilson through in there as much as ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ and ‘Sloop John B’.

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" is played over the close of "Shampoo," one of the great LA-based, LA-themed movies, and it's a perfect coda.

Also hilarious. Basically known as "Voicemail Hell." I have considered setting up an Asterisk server (PBX) and routing spam callers straight to this audio as a suitable punishment for them.
Caution: Loud at points. Turn your volume down significantly before playing.

The serious answer is - it doesn’t really matter, does it? Oh it’s a waste of money, and I want the US to keep winding that down; but look at what just happened - huge war in the Middle East, what did the UN do or say? Nothing. Peace deal in Congo, where was UN? Nowhere. What’s been the most positive move in Gaza this entire you? Getting rid of the UN’s relief operations. What’s one of the best things to happen in Lebanon? Kicking the UN “peacekeepers” out.
The UN is finished, it’s over. It’s a weekend morning buffet society for a handful of New York grifters, nothing more. Of course we should quit, but it really doesn’t matter.

Two people in their 40s married for the first time. It was low key, but the fulfillment of my dreams for the couple. He was the Chairman of our Constitution Bee effort when I took over for him.
He was a Republican Congressional aide when he was set up by the Deep State. He went to jail in Dodge City. The injustice and the uncaring of the jailers made a deep impression on me.
This is his recovery from those bad day. May his honeymoon be a golden memory.

Both good ideas, but other scenes highlight just how much control M-5 had of the ship's computer and systems (total) meaning it could have set up force fields isolating the crew from the breakers, and beamed away any explosive device into space.
The prudent way to test this would have been to set it up in an isolated Sandbox, and given it an API to the ship's systems that looked to M-5 like it had total and utter control, but in actuality it could be disengaged and isolated at the touch of a button by a human hand. The plot (demonstrating the danger of scientific hubris) demanded otherwise.
I consider this one of their best episodes because it did a good job of highlighting the human costs of such hubris.

Just had a thought.
Biden's dogs, Major and Commander, were both responsible for several bites on staff. Commander in particular. Major did again even after supposedly being given training after the first time, per Wikipedia.
Originally, I thought the dogs took after their owner, the piece of work Biden family.
What if they didn't? What if they were actually like normal dogs... who seem to have a sense of what people are bad/evil?
Given how badly the Secret Service has been, to the point of letting 45 be murdered (except for the grace of God) on the road to being 47... maybe the dogs were trying to warn and defend the White House, except Biden and his Handlers kept keeping literally-evil people around on staff? Navy too, given the sheer # of sailors who somehow didn't know how to FSCKing sail and kept crashing ships.
