Under Threat of Anti-Trust Action, Un-American MLB Walks Back Threat to Discipline Players for Daring to Include Biblical References on Their Forced Gay Cosplay Hats
As you know, the San Francisco Giants forced players to wear pRiDe rainbow caps. Some players objected to being forced to wear this antibiblical message, so they put little strips of cloth on the caps noting a specific Biblical passage that mentions the rainbow as God's promise to never flood the world again.
It was a small attempt to balance out the compromise of their conscience being forced upon them by the Gay Mafia, Baseball Chapter, and the Gay Mafia could not tolerate that. They threatened to fine or discipline the players daring to safeguard their own consciences, citing fake rules that no player may ever include his own private messages on his uniform. That's a lie, the league allowed/encouraged BLM messaging on uniforms and cleats. Josh Hawley responded by threatening to investigate major baseball's unique and unlawful judge-made exemption to our anti-trust laws, and once again corporate back down because money and phony-baloney jobs are much more important to them than their woke posturing.
And BLM messages. And if you don't want players stealth-objecting to the pro-LGBT messages you're forcing them to repeat, stop forcing them to repeat pro-LGBT messages. Make wearing the Gay Cosplay optional.
MLB Walks Back Threats Over Bible Verses At Pride Night "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be."
Major League Baseball backed down Monday after threatening several San Francisco Giants players over Bible verses marked on their Pride Night caps, promising not to fine or discipline them for expressing their Christian faith. In a letter to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred said the league was enforcing existing rules and blamed the San Francisco Giants for a controversy that quickly became a religious-liberty flashpoint. "By warning the Giants players that they may not include Bible verses on their caps in the future, MLB was not discriminating or chastising those players based on their religious beliefs; rather, MLB was enforcing (with only an oral warning) a long-standing, collectively bargained rule that keeps uniforms clean and avoids controversy," Manfred said. Manfred explained that the MLB allows clubs to wear customized uniforms during just 12 league-sanctioned events each year, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, Sept. 11, and Jackie Robinson Day.
However, Manfred said individual clubs retain the flexibility to recognize other commemorative events throughout the season. He noted that in 2023, the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers successfully requested that their use of Pride emblems on uniforms and hats during Pride Night be grandfathered in under the league's policy.Oh, so some people are allowed to add their own messages to their uniforms, if the Gay/BLM MLB approves.
... "We understand that some players or other on-field personnel have not been comfortable wearing the pride emblem on their uniform based on their religious beliefs," he added. During Pride Night, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp was among them. He inscribed a passage from Genesis 9 on his cap in silver, placing it next to the rainbow logo. The verses describe God's promise to Noah and all future generations that he would never again destroy the earth with a flood, with the rainbow serving as the sign of that covenant.What a horror! I could understand some consternation if players were including the passage from Leviticus calling homosexuality a sin, but all they were doing was supplying an alternate justification for wearing the rainbow, noting that the rainbow was a promise from God. They would wear the rainbow -- with the gloss that the rainbow they were celebrating was God's rainbow. Acceptable? No! Tyrants must be obeyed! The San Francisco Giants decided, "No, not only do you have to wear the Gay Rainbow, you also have to mean the Gay Rainbow means what we say it means. We will not allow you to pretend the Gay Rainbow is anything other than your personal affirmation of homosexuality. Reject your god and bow to the new gods." But they're the good guys, right? Bullies and tyrants are always the good guys in history, right? I keep noticing that they way favored political minorities say they want to be treated is not the way they treat minorities when they have the (temporary, limited) majority power.
Fuck you. Strip their anti-trust immunity. This is the problem with monopolies. You can't just tell these players "Find another league that doesn't force you to confess sinful messages contrary to your religion," because the monopoly guarantees there is no other league to join.
... Shortly thereafter, MLB issued a verbal warning advising players not to include Bible verses on their uniforms in the future, triggering a wave of conservative backlash, including legal scrutiny from elected officials and state attorneys general. "The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages," Assistant Attorney General Dhillon wrote in a letter to Manfred. In a response to Hawley's scathing letter, Manfred appeared to deflect blame to the San Francisco Giants. "Unfortunately, this year the Giants' communication with players was inadequate and not clear. Some players apparently did not understand that they had the option to wear their normal uniform and elected to add messages to their hats bearing the pride logo as a result," he explained. "After the game had concluded, my office issued a routine oral warning about the uniform policy violation -- unfortunately, it was issued before we became aware of the Giants' lapse in communication," In a win for the conservatives, the MLB vowed that no players would be punished for the Bible verses. "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be," Manfield said.
In regard to the question of not allowing alteration of the uniforms, this is NOT true.

They allowed BLM patches and BLM messages to be written on cleats in 2021. So there's unequal accomodation of views here.
Senator Scott WienerFuck you. We'll keep in mind your own rules about how the majority should treat a minority going forward. How about that?
@Scott_Wiener We’re not letting them hijack the Bible to "take back" the rainbow. The rainbow is about Pride. It’s about our beautiful LGBTQ community. And it’s about San Francisco beauty & joy. Happy Pride!

I said it before and I'll say it again. End ALL the messaging on fricking pro sports uniforms. No pictures of your dog, no "Hi, mom," no Bible verses or Satanic verses, no not even a breast cancer ribbon (who can keep track of what color stands for which cause these days anyway) or anything besides the team logo. And if you want to open your yap about some political issue, do it in street clothes or pay a fine. Every job I've ever worked at instructs you not to speak publicly in your job capacity on damn near any topic.

Most of the business people these days seem to have been indoctrinated to think of people as consumers vs customers. A consumer does not have any choice- he consumes. A customer can take his business elsewhere or just not buy your product. They are retards.
That is half the reason for covid. The drug co.panies could eliminate choice from people buying their products (they thought.)

If I can't lie to a Cop, why can they LEGALLY lie to me?
Lying to Congress is against the Law, but Congressmen can lie all they want.
And don't even get me started on the over broad interpretation of Qualified Immunity.
Or, like in Calif if you are a COP, you can buy a PERSONAL 'Assault Weapon'... but as a civilian you cannot.
Or that Congress can do insider trading all day long, but we would go to jail for it....

Posted by: gp at June 23, 2026 02:07 PM (Jr5Lq)
The theory I read somewhere is that different women have different things already, and also have different circumstances. So the one who already has money may be less impressed by ability to provide, while the one who lives in (or even just comes from) a bad neighborhood may need to feel physically protected. Of course, you can never really know for sure what's going on in someone else's head -- especially if she doesn't know herself -- but there are observable clues.
It may have been in How To Be The Man Women Want by Rory Miller, but I'm not sure.

Two More Leftwing Incels Charged In Planned UFC Mass Casualty Attack; Another Incel Kills Two People in Montreal
Maybe young working-age men shouldn't spend all day on the internet jacking off with a robotic vagina. Maybe that's not the way God or biology (or both) designed men to live their lives.
Maybe it does something insidious to your brain.Just a thought.
TikTok, huh? Why does Trump permit China's propaganda/destabilization app to exist in the US? (It's banned in China!) That's a rhetorical question. I know why: Because it's popular among the brainwashed, vacant-eyed youths and no one wants to incense the incels. A lot of the more disturbed losers threatened to literally kill themselves if TikTok were banned. But sometimes, you have to bite the bullet. Meanwhile, a similar nihilistic violence event actually came to fruition in Montreal.
Two new defendants charged in alleged White House UFC mass-casualty attack plot Jordan W Rincker allegedly transferred a shotgun and funneled cash to co-defendants who planned to storm the White House
The FBI has identified two additional suspects in the alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., bringing the total number of publicly identified defendants to seven. Newly unsealed court records identify Missouri resident Jordan W. Rincker and Washington state resident William Lee Spartacus Falkner as alleged members of the conspiracy. Prosecutors say Rincker allegedly helped fund and facilitate the operation, while Falkner allegedly discussed procuring and operating drones intended for use in the attack. ... Falkner allegedly joined a Telegram chat devoted to drone operations June 7 and communicated with other alleged conspirators about drone procurement, tactics and the use of explosives, according to the Washington state complaint. Prosecutors allege Falkner discussed obtaining multiple drones through a network of contacts and argued that "the more drones the better." Court records also allege he exchanged messages about drone payloads, anti-jamming measures, fiber optics controls and the number of drones needed to carry out the attack. The complaint alleges Falkner claimed he could obtain drones capable of carrying heavy explosive payloads and discussed coordinating their acquisition with other members of the group. ... The newly unsealed affidavit also suggests investigators were examining whether members of the group discussed a potential future attack targeting a FIFA World Cup match scheduled for July 3 in Kansas City, Missouri. ... Prosecutors said the plotters met around March through a TikTok community known as "Vanguard of the Old" where participants shared workout videos and tactical content before moving to encrypted Signal chats.
Suspect 'neutralized' after Montreal shooting leaves at least 2 dead including officerVia Beege Wellborn at Hot Air, the incel left behind a manifesto attacking women and capitalism.
A suspected gunman has been neutralized by authorities following a Monday shooting in Montreal's Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood that left a police officer and a citizen dead
A gunman was "neutralized" Monday following a shooting in Montreal that left one police officer and one other person dead. Authorities told Fox News that the shooting happened in the Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood of the city. ... A male officer and a civilian died, he said. A female officer was injured and taken to a hospital in critical condition but was upgraded to stable condition.
Montreal shooting: suspect left a manifesto attacking women and capitalismAlthough a lot of this incel's manifesto appears left-wing, you can also see some echoes of the Left-Right Fusion of the Extremes that Tuq'r Qarlson and Cavernous Nostrils are trying to create. (Tuq'r has been railing against capitalism and in favor of socialism for some time. This shouldn't be surprising -- Hitler attacked capitalism as a Jewish contrivance as well. I wonder if this is the "revolutionary violence" he called for in his New York Times interview, before showing his coward's stripe yet again and denouncing himself for having admitted that. Go to 0:48 for that.)
The man, who drove from Alberta in recent days, espouses "incel" ideology
The man who opened fire in Montreal on Monday left behind a delusional manifesto in which he attacks, among other things, women and Western capitalist society. "Be unwavering, move forward, and KILL THEM ALL!" wrote Seth Hatfield in the conclusion of his 104-page document. Police were meticulously analyzing the text on Monday, in the hours following the tragedy that left three people dead. It is unclear whom the young man proposes killing. According to our sources, Hatfield drove from Alberta in recent days. Investigators believe he espouses an ideology aligned with that of "involuntary celibates," or "incels." In his lengthy text, which our Investigative Bureau was able to review, he laments "the state of affairs regarding young people (roughly under the age of 30) living in highly developed Western countries." He decries the plight of the majority of men, whom he calls "ordinary men." He contrasts them with a small number of "brutes"--men supposedly preferred by women due to their attractive physiques. The individual who donned a military uniform at the time of the act is nostalgic for a society founded on traditional values.
In a speech worthy of the Middle Ages, Hatfield lashes out in all directions. According to him, most women today engage in "frequent and cruel verbal abuse" toward men. Among other unacceptable remarks, he claims they have also "abandoned all or most efforts to be attractive" -- not to mention the refusal of some to have children. "For the average man, the closest thing to intimacy he is entitled to is usually watching internet pornography on his phone screen, in the darkness of his bedroom, late at night," he writes.I didn't say anything about your hobbies, dude.

well they were definitely doing a lot of talking about buying drones and not a lot of buying drones, but it doesn't appear that this is an FBI set-up. One of the incels' mothers saw the plotting and alerted the authorities.

Another reason Canada is not a free country - the military is placed above the civil power. Their police are part of Canadian Forces. In the United States, as our police are not subject to the UCMJ, they are in fact civilians.

This is what all of your screeching about Trump has accomplished in the past decade. So liberals, it's really time to sit down, take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself "am I in a cult".
I kind of feel like his parents may have some blame here. Spartacus? Really? Yep I will be damned William (no E) Lee Spartacus Falkner.
19 others involved. I assumed another "everyone else was actually an FBI agent and they conned some rube into making a case". Good on that kids parents for raising the alarm.

I get on the phone with person to try to resolve refund or transfer process as a result of the scheduling SNAFU, and the person on the other line gets all defensive, talks over me, is highly combative, while I am mostly calm in the face of their claims as to being "confused" as to what I am calling about. (How about you listen rather than talk over me, chick.) I come to suspect that this person was responsible for the scheduling SNAFU in the first place.
So at the end of the process, the person 180 changes tune when they find out I am asking for something reasonable and ordinary (transfer one person for the paid person's registration). And we make the changes.
As I am typing up my closing thanks communication, it hits me like a ton of bricks in the closing signature of the person. "They/Them."

I think it's tragic, but understandable. She's in a firefight. She just saw her partner get shot and die. She's hiding behind cover and suddenly a man appears above and behind her.
I'm not going to armchair quarterback her. Yeah, she maybe could have taken a moment longer to see if the guy was armed. But if that had been the shooter, taking that moment might have cost her life.
Yes, it cost a man his life. But sometimes bad things happen and it's just the way it is.

Think about it: on the one hand, an incel professes to be hetero and interested in girls and sex/relationships. Many actually claim to have pursued girls.
But the incel's motivation to get girls is completely -- and obviously -- undermined by the incel's total unwillingness to do anything that might make them more attractive to women.
They refuse to do anything to improve their appearance or social standing, and even go out of their way to look repulsive. Hell, they even deliberately develop terrible personalities.
Even ugly guys can get girls if they try. These incels are not only not trying, they're sabotaging themselves. I think they're all just fucked in the head.

Meanwhile a male cop engages with the shooter and dies. The male cop's name? Mohammed.

HEre's the reality:
Prior to the 1960s, MOST unmarried men were incels. It was expected that most people didn't have sex until marriage.
Butno one wa filled with rage abut it, becaue it was the default way society was arranged and had always been arranged. Sure, it was frustrating -- but it was designed toi be frustrating, to induce npeople to get married, and continue the nuclear-family-0with-kids structure of covlization.
The Sexual Revolution changed all that, and now it was expected that you could (and should) have sex before marriage. Everybody was swingin' -- except for the passive/nerdy/awkward/ugly/whatever guys that chicks rejected. But 8nstead of thinking, "No big deal -- it;'s not just me wh doesn;'t get laid, MST guys dn't get laid," these guys now thought, "It's nt fair! Everyone's getting laid exceot me!" So the creation of a promiscuous society created a demographic of frustrated "involuntary celibates."
The solution, is to revert back to the milliennia-old way that society was structured, where people doen't feel like losers simply for being virgins.

For guys, even the most repulsive can either rent a woman for a night, or force an unwilling one.
For women... well, I'm told that there's no woman so ugly that some man won't sleep with her.
So if you're celibate, it's because you want to be, or it's because you're not willing to put forth the effort to not be.
And for the record: for the unmarried, celibacy is the better option. It's inexpensive and peaceful.
The loneliness sucks, but you're not going to fix that by screwing random strangers.

The problem stems from every woman under 45, down to and including Gorlock the Destroyer, being told that they're a Tampa strip club 10 rather than a 3 AM Waffle House zero. (I think that affirmation comes with the first bottle of SSRIs now). As a result they're completely uninterested in men who actually are in their league and they'll press charges if one looks at them.

Were there incels in my time? I don't know one, which does not say much but it's true. There were boys who probably felt mad about not dating but did not kill anyone (we are not including serial killers here, maybe Bundy was an incel, altho he had girlfriends).
There were, no doubt, boys who were rather ugly, with cystic acne, and weird fetishes. I did not notice, but I wouldn't have been mean to them unless they messed with me.
I think social media plays a part in all of this insanity. Then 24hr cable news promotes the martyrs. The porno does not help and is icky.
It's all a new world out there for weirdos who feel rejected and angry. And probably full of SSRI's and bong water.
Is there an island we can ship incels to? If found on telegraph or other social media outlets by the feds? In mother's basement, angry and lashing out in their flannel pants?
Include the trans-wanna-be weirdos as well. Put them on an island with six months of food, water, shelter in a Quonset hut. Books only, classics. No Internet or Funyuns. Let them sort it out. Return in six months to see who survives and if they've changed their minds.
It's going to keep happening, sadly.

People are beating around the bush, here. The beer people hit on it. The unreasonable expectations people hit on it.
The problem is one of proximity.
And that problem stems from living in the digital world over living in the material world.
In the 70s and 80s, every non working and school hour was spent alongside friends, cruising, drinking beer, partying, plotting conquests.
Nowadays, you can have an array of 6 teens, and every single one of them is on their phone, rarely speaking to each other, only interacting through their devices or about their devices and what's on their devices.
My oldest loses his phone as punishment and blossoms as a conversationalist with unreal confidence with the ladies. He's handsome, but damn if his game does not increase 1000 fold when he's not on his phone.

As it's becoming a statistical coin flip(or worse) this is a lot of people.
To all appearances the main cause seems to be women being unwilling or uninterested in pairing off with people who are actually their peers. There also may be a bit of an urban/rural divide where women crowd into cities. Then there's the issue of women who are college educated in poor paying careers looking down on tradesmen. Elevated self-evaluation of attractiveness and social status essentially.

I don't know if that's the "average" man, but we've done a LOT to screw up male-female relationships over the past 60 years.
Seems that all the "solutions" from the "free love" generation have done nothing but make people more miserable, lonely, and unloved.
Seems like all those "hang-ups about sex!!" were there for reason.

If you watch how fast "progressives" abandon one cause or group for the next, you begin to realize it's all subversion and control.
I am not certain but these claims of "old" MAY refer to something more ancient or may just be so named to give themselves legitimacy and weight.
Progressives certainly don't want progress, we've seen it a billion times. So it's a matter of whether you can even trust these people to tell you what they really think. The throughline regardless would be the "subversion" of modern existence.
Whether to usher in something "old" or "new" to replace what we have is just window dressing.

************
I had brothers and lots of male friends from childhood through college. I played sports (tennis, basketball, swimming, shot pool) and partied and drank a lot of beer. I had fun and was not dating any of them. I know men as friends. Perhaps that is key?
There was also no social media putting scary stories about men so I was oblivious and could take care of myself. Or I had boys around me who wouldn't let anything happen to me at concerts or hiking.
It's not the Pythagorean theorem or a rule book. Or it wasn't in simpler times before dating apps and tic tok.
In Mass this past week I saw two handsome post college age men, alone. No wedding rings because I checked. If I had a daughter who was floundering around with insanity I'd send her to church vs a bar to meet people.
I will leave a letter to my granddaughters to not settle, to not follow the crowd, to remain special and content.

my sons don't initiate! they end up with very aggressive very social girls trying to date them and they don't match up!
it's a hot mess. plus here are the rules according to them:

- no dating at basically any age disparity!!!
- no dating friends of friends or siblings of friends (why?!?!)

In the past men would hit on single women in public places and presuming they weren't rude the expectation was the girl would give a face saving reason for no "sorry I have a boyfriend" if she wasn't interested

So Close to Pride Month? As Chicago Recovers From Bloody "Juneteenth" Violence Leaving Eight Dead and Thirty-Nine Shot, BlacKKK Mayor Brandon Johnson Changes the Topic and Babbles About Anti-Trans Violence That Barely Exists
It was another weekend of slaughter in the Lightworker's supposed home city.
8 dead, dozens hurt over holiday weekend in Chicago, including 14 shot during Juneteenth partyNote that the "14 shot" mentioned there has greatly increased... to 39. So another Red Weekend in a Blue City. Why aren't billionaires paying more in taxes? And other questions to distract you from the literal Death Cult that is the Democrat Party. Racist clown Brandon Johnson doesn't want to talk about this and certainly doesn't want to ask The White Man for help. Instead, he wants to extend the "crisis" declaration regarding the non-trend of the non-word "transfemicide." Transfemicide. Lunatics make up their own languages in the asylums, don't they?
A 14-year-old boy was among the dead from gun violence over the long weekend, which also left nearly 40 people injured, catching the attention of President Donald Trump. A 14-year-old boy was among eight people killed over the long holiday weekend that saw nearly 40 others wounded, including 14 people shot during a Juneteenth celebration on the Far South Side. ... A mass shooting in Roseland happened Friday about 11:10 p.m. in the 200 block of West 95th Street as a large crowd gathered for the holiday. A red SUV drove by and two people inside opened fire, hitting the 14 victims, whose ages range from 17 to 47. That shooting caught the attention of President Donald Trump, who posted on social media: "Lots of Killing going on in Chicago. 22 people shot, at least 4 Dead. Why isn't Governor Pritzker calling me for help." Seven others were killed from Thursday at 5 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m., according to officials. They include: Christopher A. Lakes, 34, shot in Austin;
Aniyhas S. Jackson, 18, shot in Austin;
Craig Wright, 21, shot in Englewood;
A 37-year-old man shot in the 500 block of East 38th Street in Bronzeville;
A 33-year-old man shot in the 3000 block of West 30th Street in Little Village;
A 29-year-old man shot in the 11900 block of South Michigan Avenue in West Pullman;
A 32-year-old man shot in the 600 block of East 92nd Street in Chatham. Other shootings wounded nearly 20 others in neighborhoods on the South and West sides, according to Chicago police.
Chicago mayor ridiculed for touting trans violence 'state of emergency' amid murder-plagued Juneteenth weekendHow about the mass shootings in Chicago? Anything, you low-IQ incompetent DEI disaster?
The mayor's office reupped the 2024 "Transfemicide State of Emergency," drawing mockery from commentators online
Chicago's mayor has become the subject of ridicule after promoting his transgender violence state of emergency amid a deadly Juneteenth weekend where dozens of people in his city were shot and six were killed. "Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City's capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans," a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said. "This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city."
"Transfemicide" is defined as the "targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred." Critics were quick to point out that Johnson appears focused on promoting on Juneteenth weekend the fight against an obscure transgender violence category rather than the killing of black Chicagoans.Critics point out the obvious.
Despite the lies of activists who claim that there's some ever-increasing trend of people murdering trannies, the actual truth is that, despite so many trannies working in the incredibly dangerous sex industry, transgenders experience violence at lower rates than the rest of the population. They claim otherwise to "center" themselves in the discussion, always. Hello! I hope everyone and their families are feeling good and healthy on this Tuesday afternoon.
A report on the subject suggests that violence against transgender women, particularly black, indigenous people of color (BIPOC) transgender women, is endemic in Chicago. But the report does not mention how many transgender women have been killed in the city, and admittedly includes suicides in the "transfemicide" category despite the term's definition. Online critics lambasted Johnson for focusing his administration's energy on the transgender issue, and many noted that the timing of the post coincided with a weekend where 39 people were shot and six killed while the city celebrated Juneteenth. "Nobody knows what a 'Transfemicide State of Emergency' is," said Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, on X. "This is what the Mayor of Chicago is focused on." ... "Everyone is dunking on this but I think it's NICE that Mayor Johnson finally found a type of murder he doesn't like. Baby steps," said X personality Jarvis Best.

You may remember that claim a few years ago that 20 (?) fake women were murdered and we need to do something about it! They even had a poster with the pictures on it, IIRC.
Well, someone actually went and looked into the murders. All but one or two were killed by pimps, johns, drug dealers, or suicides.

When your kid “graduates” high school with no way to make their future better? After he’s been fully separated from God and becomes a ward of the state?
At what point?

There was this girl a few years ago. Go-go dancer, hot but psycho. Total party girl. Red flags erupting all over the place like Mount Vesuvius. I shoulda let her be. But I decided to roll the dice on the Hot-crazy Matrix.
It was very fun for a while, IYKWIM. But then ... disaster!!
I got out easy, all things considered. Just a near OD on my couch. I have an yuge Egyptian tapestry hanging on my wall. One night she staggers in at like 2 am. She was like "oooh, are those blue eggs on the wall?" I was like "huh?" The tapestry is red and has no eggs. Her: "oooooh, I see. Not blue eggs." I sighed a sigh of relief. "They're elephant heads!"
She then collapsed on the couch like she was dead. It was a long night. Then a few weeks later some "boyfriend" somehow gets my number and starts hounding me.

Does it? I think a lot is like "gay bashing," which was actually punks rolling chumps for their money, and it just happened that the ones out in parks after midnight were gay men cruising for sex.
There was a specific case I remember reading about, it was even in Chicago, where a black man who was a tranny prostitute was hanging out on a Chicago sidewalk (IIRC after 2AM) when four other black men drove up in a beater, got out, grabbed his purse, he fought back, they shot him, and he died. I expect that's actually the more typical gangster-on-tranny violence.

There was a specific case I remember reading about, it was even in Chicago, where a black man who was a tranny prostitute was hanging out on a Chicago sidewalk (IIRC after 2AM) when four other black men drove up in a beater, got out, grabbed his purse, he fought back, they shot him, and he died. I expect that's actually the more typical gangster-on-tranny violence.
Posted by: SciVo at June 23, 2026 12:40 PM (Sy6m/)
I was thinking of a murder in Dallas about 4 years ago - the details of the killings vary . But the Left has tried making an issue of this before, and what always derails the attempt is that when you look into it closely, almost all of the killings fall under the heading of “Black on Black crime”.
And the left acts like Dracula seeing a cross whenever that term comes up.

Also various Indian tribes still had slaves. After the civil war the US government pressured them to free them and eventually succeeded.
Posted by: 18-1 at June 23, 2026 12:46 PM (sKqQm)
Alaskan Eskimos had slaves too...
Intertubes say: "Slavery in Alaska effectively ended in 1886, when a Haida man named Sah Quah sued for his freedom in a U.S. courtroom. This legal action marked a significant moment in the history of slavery in the region."

“At least if they’re a murderer it could be a good reason, if they’re trans I’d murder them myself. Or I’d kill myself. There’s no coming back if your kid turns into a trans, you have to start fully over”
Never tell anyone you’re trans under any circumstances. Even the “allies” in the group laughed.
It's an insane take even if trans people were just crazy crossdressers. Imagine having your child die only to have some tard chud go like "I can relate. My son wears dresses now".
Same people who call themselves “followers of Christ” yet they would kill their own kid for being trans.

I heard the WHO is despairing over the failure of contract tracing in Dem Rep of the Congo during this current Ebola system. A mere 40% of the patients' contacts have been traced and it is causing a failure to do . . .
And to be honest, this is the DRC in a civil war, where most of the population consider hospitals a place to go to die and they don't quite have the concept of germ theory internalized, so I am not exactly sure what the WHO thinks what benefit 100% contract tracing would accomplish

The Morning Rant
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on Monday dissented from the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up a case that they said forces police officers to create a separate set of rules for racial minorities. "It is dangerous to allow an individual to be treated differently based on statistics, studies, or expert testimony that purports to show that members of the racial or ethnic group to which he belongs are more likely to act in a certain way than are members of other groups," Alito wrote on behalf of himself and Thomas. "Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not." The case, U.S. v. Donte J. Carter, involved a Black man whose firearm and theft convictions were vacated after the D.C. Court of Appeals held that police seized him before they had reasonable suspicion. Officers later recovered a .40-caliber pistol from Carter’s pants and the government said the gun had been stolen from an FBI agent’s vehicle.
Read Alito's dissent for a rational destruction of this pathetic decision. I understand why the two retards and the reliable leftist voted for racial preference. And the new chick just wants to be in the club. And I understand that the chief justice is a wind vane without any philosophical foundation. But Gorsuch and Cavanaugh? I thought they had brains! This is a depressing bellwether of the court, and we should expect more of this sort of post-modern horror. The Constitution is clear about this question, and we fought a military civil war and a cultural civil war to end exactly what the court seems to be approving. This is a dangerous precedent that will have repercussions far beyond the criminal. Are we going to return to affirmative action? Because this seems suspiciously like that catastrophic foray into inequality! Maybe this time it will be explicit! Imagine a world in which blacks or any minority are allowed even greater leeway to break the law because of some cultural norm. That won't end well, and it may very well bring about wholesale changes in the way all Americans respond to law enforcement or, for that matter, any government action. And based on this decision, my hope for a ban on anchor babies just went up in smoke. Yuck! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Remember a week ago when a Howard "professor" (of journalism, natch) insisted that Austin Metcalf got what he deserved, and that white America needed to learn that black kids have "boundaries"; boundaries which apparently justify stabbing someone in the heart. She was making precisely the argument described in the quoted paragraph. She will not like where that ends up.

The most insane thing about this entire case is the utterly delusional finding by the DCCA that "Black men are more likely to comply with police demands rather than exercise their constitutional right to terminate a suspicionless police encounter."
Are they out of their fucking skulls? The biggest problem in the black community -- especially the criminal element -- is that they DON'T comply with reasonable police demands.
The other thing that's idiotic is that it's crystal clear from the facts of the case that this was a gang-banger. Any cop with a functioning brain would have known that.

Multi-ethnic empires can work with an authoritarian ruler.
The United States cannot be the United States with an authoritarian ruler.
Our country can only work if all the people see themselves (and their fellow citizens) as citizens who happen to have different colored skin.
A country needs a unified people. When it becomes fighting between factions, you get the same result as all the other dying empires.
Which is what the left wants. They think they will build a utopia after killing the greatest nation the world has ever had.

While I was at the hotel to-day an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. [Great laughter.] While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.

Most of these people are too stupid to understand the implications and consequences of convincing the majority of the country that your entire race is ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Nor can they grasp that they are working to prove the segregationists right. All the work for true equality is being erased and the ones who will suffer the most are the ones erasing it.

You wrote that with an implied "only", and I disagree whole-heartedly. Ethnicity is NOT the issue (nor is race).
The issue is CULTURE. The United States worked fine with multiple ethnicities for a long time. It was only when we said "Your culture is just as valid as the one that built and maintained this country, and you don't have to do things our way at all" that we developed real problems. And, ironically, that's a problem with a change in our culture.

Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian man over religious rights claim against prison officials
Officials at a Louisiana prison cut off Damon Landor's dreadlocks in violation of his religious beliefs. The case centered on whether he could seek damages.
In part, Writing for the majority, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch said that RLUIPA, which applies to any local prison that accepts any federal funding, does not allow for claims against individual officials.
The only way the suit could go forward would be if the officials had consented to face liability under the federal law, and they had not, Gorsuch added.
“Mr. Landor’s case cannot proceed against them any more than a breach of contract action might proceed against a defendant who never formed a contract,” he wrote.

Multi-ethnic, yes - but one of the things that Rome was very good at was fusing everyone into a "Roman" culture, and leaving all else behind. They put a great deal of effort into it. The Christian revolution, for lack of a better word, was so successful because Constantine found a way to fuse Roman and Christian culture together.

Justice Jackson's RLUIPA statement was made in a dissent regarding a Rastafarian inmate who was denied the right to sue for monetary damages. On the Supreme Court, she has supported religious exercise claims based on statutory text, but she frequently parts ways with the conservative majority on matters balancing these rights with anti-discrimination laws.
In a major decision concerning a graphic designer who sought to refuse web services for same-sex weddings, Justice Jackson joined a dissent stating that the Court's ruling unconstitutionally granted businesses the right to discriminate against protected groups based on sincere religious beliefs.
She questioned the arguments of a conservative Christian therapist and the Alliance Defending Freedom in a case challenging state bans on conversion therapy for minors, suggesting that state medical regulations on professional conduct should not be undermined by First Amendment challenges.
Even before joining the Supreme Court, while serving as a federal judge, she allowed the religious discrimination lawsuit of a Christian Postal Service employee to proceed. (Gospel music on-the-job.)

There's precedent in the DC circuit that a factor in determining whether a seizure has taken place is "whether an objective and reasonable person sharing the defendant's generalized lived experiences arising out of their racial status" would have felt free to terminate the police encounter.

Post-Callias, they upheld the exact same map.
The difference was better facts to develop a broad rule.

All seriousness aside, and as much as I often find images and interesting things to comment on with abstract artworks, this one has . . . very little. There are occasional hints of color, but then long threads or strands are rather off-putting. Perhaps that was Pollock's intention.

Seriously, I do enjoy Pollock's works when I see them in museums, exactly because they are often so imposing. That doesn't make up for the chaos, but they are impressive.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 23, 2026 09:40 AM (PLxDd)
Yeah, I agree the sheer size commands attention.
By the way...
I think that why The Tower of OBabel was made so huge.
Just coming upon its massive ungainly bulk, your monkey-brain has to start sparking with "This is Huge. It's really important. Obama must be the greatest president evah!!!!"

If your goal is building lasting support for gay people, you might want to listen when gay people tell you you’re hurting the cause. But if your goal is merely virtue signaling to your fellow progressives, then gay people questioning you poses a threat.
If you actually care about gay people and building or maintaining support for gay marriage, you’ll want to avoid unnecessarily polarizing people. You’ll want to build bridges, not burn them.
But many activists are more concerned with appearing to care about gay people than actually caring about gay people.
The thing about virtue signaling is there’s nothing virtuous about it. It’s deeply self-absorbed. It’s all about you and your status among your peer group.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Oh wait, I said exactly this.

Supposedly it was to show the Soviet Union our "freedom". While their art was all literal, restrictedand iconographic the CIA wanted to demonstrate how creative and free America was. Supposedly. But I don't buy it. I think it was an attack on real art.

"Multicultural" sounds a lot better than "immigrant rape invasion". If you followed the link, you found this.
France: At Least 145 Injected in Syringe Attacks During Multicultural Music Festival
. . . .
The festivities were also once again the site of numerous “evening bites”, a trend in which people are surreptitiously stabbed with syringes full of date rape drugs. According to Le Parisien, dozens of women came forward claiming to have been attacked in such a manner.
While often associated with rape or sexual assault at music venues or nightclubs, the practice has also been tied to other crimes, such as theft. Indeed, one of the identified victims on Sunday evening was a man who said that he was stung near the Place de la République by a man who “was walking around with syringes on his belt”.

Hasn’t it been pretty well established that Pollack and other abstract artists were CIA ops?
Posted by: Bulg at June 23, 2026 09:51 AM (77rzZ)
Has anyone asked that lemon-sucking commie cocksucker Ed Harris what the thinks about the Pollock/CIA revelations, considering that one of his most celebrated roles was as Pollock in the biopic?
Great actor, plays lots of grizzled manly men on-screen but the man himself is a lot like the sandaled poofter hippie he plays in The Truman Show. Plus, he's a dick. When Elia Kazan got his honorary Oscar, Harris and his shriveled harridan wife stood there in silence with frowns on their faces like if Zombie Johnny Carson had walked up and shoved handfuls of dog shit in their faces. At least the rest of Hollywood politely clapped, despite hating Kazan's guts for naming names to HUAC. I think even Tim Robbins held his nose and unenthusiastically clapped like Patton in front of the Soviet generals.

It makes me think of the defense mechanism animals use when they puff up their fur to artificially look larger than they really are.

That's against a wider backdrop of what I have said since 2016 when the scope of the russian collusion fraud came to light: Trump is a speedbump and nothing is stopping the war that is coming. All these asshat judges only reinforce that belief.
We've expelled, what, maybe 2-3 million at best of Biden's invasion? Killing USAID is great but all this is really accomplishing domestically is giving us more time to prepare. And internationally the manufacturing we got back will help a bit. Better to have Trump than not but it's not enough

The black plastic 50s-70s era frames weren't TOO bad. Especially when retro styles started to become popular. The "stylish" tortoise frames in the 80s and beyond were just some stupid ring-knocker officer intentionally trying to make his troops look like they'd been gelded before being released to walk among normal people in the wild.

The Morning Report — 6/ 23 /26
A federal judge blocked Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and other Democrats in the state, which the DOJ had issued to investigate the link between Somali corruption and local politics. . . The George W. Bush-appointed chief judge said Trump’s repeated attacks and promises of “retribution” against Walz, a Democrat, and other Minnesota officials “establishes beyond reasonable dispute” that the grand jury subpoenas — issued at the height of ICE’s Operation Metro Surge — “were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws.”
Probably the greatest case of political corruption in American history, a minimum of $9 billion dollars swindled from the Minnesota state treasury as well as the US treasury and direct and indirect links to Walz, Frey and the state's Democrat Party. And this hack shuts it down. Well at least he's a Bush appointee which means, yay Bipartisanship! Meh, what it means is that he's likely in on the grift along with Walz, Frey and every other crooked pol. Moving on to the next glittering jewel of graft and thuggery, also with the secondary and not unimportant theme of our completely insane immigration system, we have this jackboot to the groin:
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan (yes, that’s her actual name) the daughter of immigrants from Trinidad is a Biden appointee who has militantly engaged in judicial activism on issues involving foreign nationals in the United States is at it again, this time ruling that the federal government was forbidden to verify the citizenship of voters because it violates their privacy. Has she ever heard of the IRS?First of all, anyone named Sparkle is unfit to be a judge, except in a drag competition. But that aside, a leftist hack foreigner placed as she was by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden with the sole purpose of holding the doors open for third world invaders to flood in, among other things that advances the Democrat/Leftist agenda at the expense of Americans, Americanism and to tear all that down to grease the wheels of the LLeftist counter-American revolution. Yes there is of course the personal element of attacking Trump personally by shredding his policies but the real goal is destroying America as founded and seizing absolute power. Trump has been the first real leader to stand in their way at least for now thwart their malign intentions as well as hopefully open the eyes of Americans everywhere to that danger and win over hearts and minds. And so, the assassination attempts, the shampeachments, the lawfare and the treasonous insubordination in the Judiciary and the bureaucracy and stolen elections. Speaking of which:
“All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens,” Sooknanan falsely claimed.
The only people whose voting rights are threatened are those who should not be voting because they’re non-citizens. Much as Judge Sparkle should not only not be on the bench, but shouldn’t be allowed within a thousand feet of a gavel or a courthouse.
Voting isn’t threatened by citizenship verification, it’s threatened by those ineligible to vote who are voting and those who ineligible being counted in censuses and having those numbers used to allocate districts.
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan isn’t the ‘court’, she has no authority to intervene here, only an ideological mandate to protect the corrupt system that made her.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called on Senate Republicans to work with President Donald Trump and advance the SAVE America Act, urging lawmakers in a Monday social media post to “hit the ground running” as Congress returns to Washington. . . According to Scott’s proposal, Republicans should focus on preventing another government shutdown and passing the SAVE America Act, legislation that would require proof of citizenship when registering to voteObviously the Democrats will never support legislation that prevents them from rigging elections, but worse the Quislings of the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite GOP like Thune, Murkowski et al will be right there to sabotage this to preserve, protect and defend their roles as confederates for pay. God bless Rick Scott but I don't think this has a snowball's chance. Have a good day,

The outlet emphasized these numbers are additional to the 50,000+ arrests and 40,000+ deaths earlier this year resulting from the major popular uprising in Iran.

In the video below, we meet a Muslim store owner a minute in, with a poster of Sánchez on his shop wall, who says Muslims are “100%" going to vote for the prime minister if they become citizens. Why? Because he "stands with Iran and Palestine." Indeed he does.

Well, regardless of what Douglas Adam’s might think, I’m quite adjusted to how big the Universe is.
I just always view the distances of the things in the universe to how distant in years they are from earth.
Proxima Centauri is 4 years in time away from us.
The exo-planet Tau Bootis is 50 years in time away from us.
The edge of the galaxy is 200m years in time away from us.
And so on.
And then I relate that time with what was happening on earth.

It’s a flaw, a weakness built into our system. It would require a 2/3 majority in the Senate willing to impeach Judges to do something about this, or a Supreme Court willing to exert far more control than this one has shown.
Without either of those, Federal Judges are free to do whatever strikes their fancy.

>>The universe may well be infinite in extent. Wrap your head around that!
Infinity is a concept, and it's a concept within mathematics.
A foundational concept in Calculus is f of (x) as (x) approaches infinity.
So, I mean, understanding infinity is not really difficult.
Let's try an example of a limit function equation.
We will call this the Rush Patience equation.
Let P(t) represent your wife's remaining patience (in percentage) as you spend t minutes explaining why Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time.
The Rush Patience Equation: P(t) = (100 / t) + 21.12
P(t) = (100 / t) + 21.12, where P(t) is your wife's remaining patience percentage after you spend t minutes explaining why Neil Peart's drum kit needs 40 pieces.
The Limit at Infinity Expression: lim_{t -> oo} ((100 / t) + 21.12) = 21.12
lim_{t -> oo} ((100 / t) + 21.12) = 21.12, meaning as your breakdown of the "2112" suite approaches infinity, her patience drops to a permanent horizontal asymptote of 21.12% out of pure respect for Canadian prog-rock.

If you look at readership numbers and viewership of outlets like CNN, I think that no more than about 5% of Americans pay attention to the media anymore. The problem is that there’s no highly visible competition; what we have is a whole lot of nothing; a thousand podcasts with a thousand different takes on everything.
We’re splintered in every way possible.

He is islhamic. He is the great liar. He is allowed to lie unrepentant as the end justifies the means. He filled his administration with those sympathetic to Iran and the islhamic republic. He sent them billions in the dead of night to fund their terrorism AND nuclear ambitions. He did nothing to curb them. He pushed them. Then, we get his puppet installed for 4 years and never before had America seen such an influx of military aged men from the middle east swarming our states.

It can be used at any point in a legal proceeding, it's so versatile. In this case, it can be used to stop an investigation... why investigate? Trump said he suspects Walz. So Walz is innocent. Case closed.
But that's a weak tea application of the standard, quite frankly. It can even be used to release a convicted criminal years after being convicted under a different President, simply because Trump says he *dislikes* the criminal - it voids all prior proceedings, since it is now obvious that he's actually innocent, as happened with Bradley Manning.
I hope one day to see another, much more evenhanded standard applied - the YD standard, where if you ever wore a black robe to work even for one day, you get knouted within an inch of your life and then die in a pit full of rape dogs.

I would argue that there is a small but persistent improvement on human DNA, in addition to cultural advances, compared with Stone Age humans. Sexual selection has helped. One reason rape by Islamics is so retrograde to progress.
We are less violent and more cooperative today. Except in certain circles of the Left, and most of Islamic culture.
Still plenty of room for improvement.

Any 'Bush' judge in Minnesota is, and has always been, a Democrat. People make way too much over which President nominated a specific district judge but the state's Senators have more say in the matter. Usually Presidents just try and pick the least egregious of a list given to them by the Senators.

In a vacuum, light travels at exactly:
299,792,458 m/s (about 300,000 km/s)
This value is often denoted by c.
When light enters a medium, it interacts with the atoms and electromagnetic fields in that material. The light is repeatedly absorbed and re-emitted (more accurately, its electromagnetic wave interacts with the material’s electrons), which causes the wave to propagate more slowly overall.
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at June 23, 2026 08:34 AM (38yk/)
The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s). This is by definition, as the distance that light travels in a second is now the International standard for distance (via defining the length of a meter).
So the length of a meter has changed from two marks on a bar to this new definition.

The original definition was whack anyway; the way it was measured was incorrect.
As for the second, there's also a universal physical definition:
"9,192,631,770 periods of the ground-state hyperfine transitions of caesium-133"
No answer if caesium-133 identifies as male of female, but it does have periods...

Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan was appointed to the District Court in January 2025. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, she received her B.S., summa cum laude, from St. Francis College in 2002, her M.B.A., with distinction, from Hofstra University in 2003, and her J.D., summa cum laude, from Brooklyn Law School in 2010.
After law school, Judge Sooknanan clerked for Federal Judge Eric N. Vitaliano and Guido Calabresi. Following those clerkships, Judge Sooknanan joined the United States Department of Justice, where she served on the Civil Division’s Appellate Staff. She left that position to clerk for Sonia Sotomayor on the United States Supreme Court.
In 2014, Judge Sooknanan joined the Washington, D.C. office of Jones Day, where she had an active pro bono practice. She became a partner at Jones Day in 2020.
In 2021, Judge Sooknanan returned to the Justice Department as a Deputy Associate Attorney General, where she served until 2023. She then served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Rights Division until her appointment to the bench.

186+ miles per second is what "they" use as an accepted convention. But the way they get there is just an assumption. It works in the equations,,, but it's not the only speed that works.
What they have done is taken the measured two way speed of light in a vacuum and divided that by two.
What also works is something along the line of the speed of light coming directly towards you is infinity and going away is something like half that.
That latter, view I'll call it, is referred to as the Anisitropic Syncrony Convention.
The guy who came up with it is the one who correctly predicted what the JWST would show us.

On February 21, 2024, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Sooknanan to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Sooknanan was recommended to the seat by Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. On April 18, 2024, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 11–10 party-line vote. On November 20, 2024, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 51–49 vote. On December 3, 2024, her nomination was confirmed by a 50–48 vote. She received her judicial commission on January 2, 2025.

One judge stoping the test program to stop benefits for junk food and soda, another voiding the subpoenas against Walz et al for fraud and then you have the foreign born judge blocking the government from using its own database to stop illegal aliens from voting. Hopefully the Supreme Court will hand down some good decisions today.

Yes his argument that with communism gone major historical events were over and the less free parts of the world would slowly move towards pluralistic democracy.
This was right as Islamism started taking hold in the middle east, as Europe started moving towards technocratic feudalism, as China started doubling down on fascism, and as Putin came to power in Russia.

Yes. I read the initial essay by him that formed the basis for his later joke of a book in Foreign Affairs, alongside the essay underlying Clash of Civilizations by Huntington. Same issue. I read them and said "well this Fukuyama guy is full of shit, and Huntington is likely right - something must fill this power vacuum, and it ain't gonna be some global utopia, because that's not how people are."
I would have been in middle school at that time.
Now, my mom always says I was born 50 years old, but still - there's no excuse for anyone serious to believe this kind of nonsense. It was stupid 100 years ago, and it's 2x as stupid today. The 20th century conclusively proved all of this wrong.

It is older then recorded history
More slaves were taken from Africa to the Middle East then to the New World and the reason you don't see black people there today is the Muslim countries routinely killed and sterilized its slaves
The Muslim world took millions of slaves from Europe as well, placing a high value on Caucasian women as sex slaves
The US inherited slavery from Britain, but all the colonial powers practiced it
Slavery ended in most of the western world because a group of "far right Christianists" crusaded against it in Britain, France, and the US.
Slavery still exists in many non-western countries like China.

Lousy fluff article, but this sentence caught my attention. However you measure it, number of launches, weight launched, launch frequency, I'd be interested in knowing if the so-called "private space" companies in China have even miniscule results. Unfortunately, this article doesn't say.

We can't even have uniformity regarding the U.S. passport landscape.
The State Department banned nonprofit libraries from processing passports because of "strict federal laws governing financial auditing and administrative authority."
Why? The Fee Rule Change. Under Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the $35 execution fee must go directly into the treasury of a public entity or state/local government. The State Department rules that private nonprofits keeping this fee as revenue violates federal fiscal regulations.
Public libraries in California are operated by city/county departments & special public districts. They're 100% exempt from the State Department ban. Minnesota libraries are also county/municipal joint-powers government so they're also 100% exempt.
New York public libraries are half public district, half private nonprofits therefore "banning" is split; NYC and Association branches are banned.
Pennsylvania's has a majority of private 503(c)(3) nonprofits (associations), all banned. However, municipal branches - tied to a city, town or village government - are public and can process passports.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 23, 2026 10:45 AM (NFX2v)
The public hue and cry: By keeping passport services at local libraries, families - especially in rural or underserved areas - avoid traveling long distances or taking time off work to visit government offices.
As a 'remedy,' both the House and Senate have introduced bills to keep passport services at non-profit libraries, as they're being deprived of funds to support staff salaries, operating costs and community programs. (The libraries not Congress, I think. 🤷♀️
Of course the legislation has received backing from the American Library Association - a Registered Nonprofit - which advocates public libraries regardless of status - must maintain the ability to offer this essential service.
And with states such as Cali and MN having all public libraries under government control, how do oaths and threats of auditing keep their administrations in line given those states' histories?
Another interesting line of citizens' I.D.s v. voting rights has entered the mix.
Good day 🤗

Another Biden administration initiative!
--
New Mexico is slated to receive approximately $884 million over 15 years from national opioid settlements. This money is split 50/50 between the state and local governments, and is legally required to be used directly for opioid-related remediation, which heavily focuses on fentanyl and synthetic opioid crises.
Primary Uses of Settlement Money:
Localities (such as Bernalillo County) have launched campaigns—including enhancements to resources like the keepNMalive website—to warn the public about fentanyl dangers.
A large portion of the recovery funds is used to increase access to naloxone (Narcan), expand childcare assistance programs, increase housing vouchers, and expand Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
Portions of the funding have been directed toward addiction treatments for incarcerated individuals.
Round & round states go, searching for the next big corporate settlement.

Top Story
- Valve's Steam machine is here, starting at $499 $599 $699 $1049. (Notebook Check)
Or almost almost here. You can enter a lottery right now, which will offer winners the chance to buy the Cube from June 29. Delivery will take place sometime after that.
- You can get more powerful PCs for similar amounts of money. (Notebook Check)
But the Cube is compact and almost silent.
- And overall, it doesn't suck. (Notebook Check)
Valve got steamrolled by the DRAM Apocalypse just like the rest of us, but it does deliver what they promised. Mostly. 4k was always a stretch.
Tech News
- Lenovo's Legion Tab Gen 5 is here - and you can actually buy one. (Notebook Check)
It launched in China a little while ago, but is now available internationally. MSRP is a hefty $850 but it's discounted to a still pretty hefty $650 for now.
Also, the older Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is now on clearance, discounted as much as 50%.
At that price it is - adjusted for inflation - actually cheaper than the iconic 2013 Nexus 7, while offering a higher resolution screen, larger battery, six times the memory, eight times the storage, ten times the CPU performance, and literally a hundred times the graphics performance. To be fair, the Nexus 7 was kind of bad at 3d gaming.
No wireless charging, but it has dual USB-C ports rather than one failure-prone micro-USB socket.
- Fuck you Microsoft GameInput.
But at least I know that it wasn't a hardware problem.
- Canada is planning a nuclear renaissance with ten new reactors to be built by 2040 at a cost of $100 billion. (CBC)
They achieved this using one simple trick: They targeted an operational date of 2010 on a budget of $5 billion.
- DDR3 and DDR2 are the next victims of the Apocalypse. (The Register)
I have 96GB of DDR3. Much less DDR2 - maybe 32GB across four old systems.
- The AI world is getting loopy. (Tech Crunch)
Do tell.
(Reads article.)
No. Don't tell.
- Anthropic says Claude may want to see your license, registration, and insurance. (Tech Crunch)
Not just no, but fuck no.

My guess for the 512 was $949, so I was close.
Valve picked the wrong time to make these.
If they'd done it in 2023 or '24 (when the CPU/GPU were new) instead of during the RAMpocolypse, they could've had a hit at say $749 for the 512GB.
If Valve keeps it going for a few more years and gets to a Steam Machine 2 they could maybe get the price down and compete with the PlayStation 6 which will probably start at $899 or so.

1) It's an article by the CBC, a media organization funded to the tune of $1.1B CDN a year by the government. It's a propaganda mouthpiece. You can believe exactly zero of what it says.
2) Carney has a lot of "plans" but little to no motion on them. Whatever money goes into his projects will end up in politicians' pockets, and won't make to to the projects which will just quietly disappear without investigations as to why. There won't be any new nuclear reactors. The projects might make it to "completed concrete slabs" - just long enough for the public to see a lot of construction so they're convinced, and then they go back to their lives and forget and it stops.
3) It's Canada. More and more things slowly degrade and break. Our roads and bridges are a good clue that something is seriously wrong. Our prices for everything are far too high.
Simply put: We don't generate enough actual wealth, and our governments keep deficit-spending every year, devaluing our dollar more and more.

Expansive welfare states may be theoretically commendable, but we're beginning to see two phenomena that place limits on them. The first is the amount of fraud around them. It's nobody's money and so the public purse is considered free for looting. To question fraud is to evoke horrified cries of heartlessness.
The second is that welfare programs come from taxes and taxes come from economically profitable activities. While the US public debt is alarmingly large, there's the potential here for innovation and growth that can sustain it. The UK and Europe are no longer innovative, aren't growing and aren't likely to. And I'd be hard pressed to name a dominant Canadian industry outside of extractables.

These are not progressive, at least I don't think so. The staff described classic "line" bifocals, and offered the alternative of "no-line," which I guess are the progressive ones. I tried the latter on and was not wowed. "Line" is what I have, and that central bifocal part is what I don't like.
I only started using reading glasses a couple of years ago, so wearing some for driving is new to me.

Fen, I did that for the late Chekov. He hated and feared going to the vet so much, and he'd already been through a lot in the previous few months, that I knew a home visit was the way to go. He passed quietly on my bed -- surrounded by the sights and sounds and smells he knew, and by his humans instead of strangers.

You'd think that if the only way you can fund an extensive welfare state is by exploiting your extensive natural resources, you'd think of a way to do so profitably. But Leftists gotta Leftist and they hamstring that as well, not because they love the Earf, but because they hate people.

I put these on and had trouble walking out to my car. Then when I glanced down at my instruments as I drove the short distance back to my place, I'd get disoriented almost the way I did in '18 when I had the inner-ear disturbance.

"It was 60 miles to go buy groceries. When you got in the car to go someplace, it was an event." Ron Gordon
Could smoking weed protect your aging brain? A study recently highlighted by The Washington Post suggests it might. Led by the Salk Institute, the work focused on a cannabinoid called cannabinol, which is a byproduct of THC, the active ingredient in pot responsible for its psychoactive effects. In experiments using human brain cell cultures and animal cells, the researchers found that cannabinol appeared to protect neurons against oxidative stress, a pernicious form of biological wear and tear that leads to cell death. Oxidative stress is considered a critical factor in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has quietly extended a pilot program providing free healthcare to sex workers – with taxpayers footing the nearly $2.5 million bill. The state Health Department in 2023 awarded $1 million in public funds to two contractors as part of Hochul’s plan to help the “world’s oldest profession,” but new documents reviewed by The Post show the program extending through June 2028, with $1.5 million more in costs. Under the initiative, sex workers in NYC and the Buffalo area will continue to receive primary, sexual, behavioral, and dental care.Once again government rewards incorrect decisions upon the checkbooks of those who did the right things.

I figured him for a homo, because European hairdresser. WRONG. Total skirt chaser.
Aside from that, he was born into grinding London poverty. Then his no good sonofabitch dad abandoned the family, and his mom had to put him and his six siblings in an orphanage for seven years, til he was eleven. No sooner did she spring him, than the war broke out and he got carted off to the country til he was 14 and returned to the city to be a courier in the underground shelters.
After the war, he joined a Jewish street gang and battled BNP fascists, until going to Israel at 20 and fighting against the Egyptians in the War for Independence.
Only then did he find his calling as an international hairdresser and connoisseur of fine chicks.

Who names their kid Gore, as in Gore Vidal?
Actually, Gore was his mother's maiden name and he was a grandson of U.S. Senator Thomas Gore,
Wikipedia, In his memoir Palimpsest (1995), Vidal wrote, "My birth certificate says 'Eugene Louis Vidal': this was changed to Eugene Luther Vidal Jr.; then Gore was added at my christening in 1939; then, at fourteen, I got rid of the first two names."[6]: 401

...During a high-level meeting in Tel Aviv with Somaliland’s visiting president, Israeli officials confirmed that Israel is now directly involved in training the breakaway region's military and police.
"For many years, we cooperated under the radar in a series of operations that will remain classified. Now we are determined to bring our security cooperation to new heights, for the benefit of both peoples and for the benefit of stability in the region," Katz said.

I'm at the local branch library here in NorCal looking for a book its a small single level building. I hear a loud bang. Maybe a metal shelf dropped onto vinyl flooring? Then a second bang. Fleeting glimpse. It's a maniac with a shotgun. 5-7 shots; now can't see him.Then silence. I peek down the long isle. Shotgun on the floor. Walk over. No one about. Look to the right a man is lying on his back, walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood, a tiny smear. He's likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors. Hands on head, walk out. They search me. I think two killed, maybe a child.
Not really freaked out, dunno why. I'm glad I didn't look too closely.

I remember when WFB said that to Vidal.
IIRC, Vidal had first called Buckley a "crypto-fascist." to kind of get the ball rolling, didn't he?
WFB successfully sued Vidal & Esquire magazine for libel, bc Vidal had written an article, published in Esquire, accusing Buckley and his brother of setting a synagogue on fire when the Buckleys were teenagers.
Gore Vidal was a nasty piece of work.

"Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City's capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans," a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said.

"The section of the river which was cleared is really coming back beautifully, wildlife is returning, yet we are being threatened with prosecution."
The Euro-nik claim is he did it because he really wanted to dreg the river since he lived there.
I went over to read about this on reddit and this was the most common theory, followed by "he did it to make Britain look bad since obviously there isn't any trash in our rivers".
Well, I spent the 30 seconds to find the place on google maps and...yep...there is plenty of trash around the river. Now, I can't say for certain he didn't trick a bunch of gullible fools to remove the silt from a river for him to make his house boat (supposedly) look nicer and he is an environmental lawyer so he likely is a scum bag, but I'm pretty sure the guy isn't a sekret MAGA agent as reddit seems to think.

I bought a new pickup a couple weeks ago. All of a sudden Experian is sending me loan offers to pay off my $3.5 K card balance. I have 2 ccs, one is only useable at TSC, the other is my Amazon Chase card and I pay them both off every month, there is no 3.5k balance that needs paid off. Its making me paranoid getting these loan offer emails.

I suspect the smarter leftwinger are finally realizing they f'd up.
A society run by a bunch of Rick Santorums or Pat Robertsons would be a *lot* freer then one ran by the current wiki/reddit/Dem types. And they is from a leftwing perspective but using the traditional notion of freedom they claimed to believe in.

I ran across a medical forum where they were talking about some fruitloop who kept showing up at the ER claiming he couldn't pee and demanding a Foley.

There never seems to be just one. If you find one, there always seems to be another. I had to wage war one year in the garage of the old house. I saw one, put out traps. I see a mouse in a trap the next day. I looked at it, and something ate part of it. I said to Mrs B, we're gonna need a bigger trap. The next day there was another mouse, and it was also eaten, and then another. Someone here mentioned mice are known to eat their dead. I think I caught 5 or 6, and the last one wasn't eaten, so he was a cannibal. Smart bastard too obviously. He just hung out eating his neighbors until they were gone, because after him I didn't catch anymore.

Did a little more "winnowing" in the shop. Scrapped out 3 old heater fan motors that were non-working. Copper for the copper pail. Then I rendered out two old starters, one big fat one (that was really bad inside) from a 6.2 Diesel Chevy, and one from a Vauxhall. More copper for the copper pail. I have maybe up to a dozen other old starters and generators worthy of scrapping, so I could get some good coin for the copper content.

I'm at the local branch library here in NorCal looking for a book its a small single level building. I hear a loud bang. Maybe a metal shelf dropped onto vinyl flooring? Then a second bang. Fleeting glimpse. It's a maniac with a shotgun. 5-7 shots; now can't see him.Then silence. I peek down the long isle. Shotgun on the floor. Walk over. No one about. Look to the right a man is lying on his back, walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood, a tiny smear. He's likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors. Hands on head, walk out. They search me. I think two killed, maybe a child.
Not really freaked out, dunno why. I'm glad I didn't look too closely.

American dogs might be slightly spoiled. Another foreign visitor who appreciates American food. I'm hoping I can get a crow to do this.
By the way, there haven't been a lot of crow updates because the crows have been scarce lately. I don't know why. I've been putting out food. I put out a lot of food today when a single crow came by, but she flew away. But a couple hours later all the food was gone (cheese and ham), so I assume they got it. Almost petting a dog. Does this tiger make you horny? Puffins have a pretty good bead on things. Kittens have a guardian angel.

I didn't see Cooper's interview with Carlson, and I won't be seeing it.
A while back, I *tried* listening to his series on Jonestown, because the topic is very interesting to me... It was one of the stupider "histories" of anything I've heard, and somehow also stultifyingly boring, which is tough to pull off when discussing the Peoples Temple.
Darryl Cooper has a knack for weaving in a LOT of content about Darryl Cooper in the weirdest, most hamhanded ways. The history of Jonestown is about Jim Jones and San Francisco, and syncretic Christianity, and cult brainwashing, and race, and Leftist politics, but mostly about Darryl Cooper, you see?
I made it through maybe about 4 episodes and gave the fuck up.

We don't have noisy bugs at night either, but the sound was nearly deafening in St. Louis. Cicadas, crickets, all that crap.

Having an opinion about proven fact, that negates that proven fact, is not being a historian. It is being an ass with an agenda. See, for instance, Muslims who claim the Holocaust never happened. Of course, they take being an ass to the absolute outer limit, but any "historian" who claims the facts are wrong is an ass.

To build a lightening bug habitat, you need to mimic their natural environment: moist, dark, undisturbed, and pesticide-free.
I used to walk my kids down to a large open field, adjacent to a wood and creek, summer evenings to see the lightening bugs. It was almost magical it was so pretty.

Oh my, there's such a difference in bear meat. I was lucky enough to participate in a wild meat dinner with fall bear meat. The richest, most luxurious taste on the planet.
A couple of years later, a spring bear killed when he attacked a camp. Stringy, acid, no good.
But the fall bear? The richest most wonderful thing I ever ate.

To build a lightening bug habitat, you need to mimic their natural environment: moist, dark, undisturbed, and pesticide-free.
I used to walk my kids down to a large open field, adjacent to a wood and creek, summer evenings to see the lightening bugs. It was almost magical it was so pretty.

I was just up in PA. My sister owns a farm. Not as many fireflies out this year, at least compared to last year. She has a large tree within view of her porch. When there are lots of fireflies, they all congregate on that tree (seem to anyway). It does look pretty magical.

Avoiding logical fallacies is a thing, and ad hominem is one of them:
"X is an asshole, therefore every proposition put forth by X is false."
IMHO, a proposition should be evaluated on its own merits, independent of the identity of the proposer. If Hitler told me 2+2=4, I would not rule it automatically false.

I would agree on matters that are empirically true. We have centuries of evidence that 2+2=4.

Hang tight.
In terms of intellect, Lincoln vs. Davis is debatable, though he wasn't facing Davis. He was a political leader facing generals in a war, and largely left that part to his generals. He had his own truly horrible political problems to contend with.
FDR was a facile, totally unremarkable intellect facing off against a more intelligent madman. Churchill was smarter by an order of magnitude than Roosevelt, though.
JFK and Khrushchev, I'll call a wash - but Khrushchev was certainly shrewder than him.
Ho Chi Minh was on his way to the Reaper by the time of Nixon's election, and in his cold embrace within a year, leaving him to face off against Vo Nguyen Giap, and neither of those two were dummies.

My grandmother could make bread but I never saw her do it. Her friend had literally started a bread business a few doors down and had brick ovens in her yard, and eventually had the front of the house converted to a store front. She only lived a few houses away and my grandmother would go and help her, and would make the bread in the brick oven and just brought it home. I guess the choice was easy, make it at home in a gas oven, or go a few doors down to the brick ovens. The brick oven wins.

Research & reading on your free time is suggested, but - .
President John F. Kennedy established the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on November 3, 1961, by signing the Foreign Assistance Act and issuing Executive Order 10973.
The creation of the agency consolidated several disparate foreign aid efforts under one unified organization.
It was explicitly created to counter Soviet and Communist influence in developing nations by using economic soft power to promote growth and democracy.
The order merged predecessor entities—including the International Cooperation Administration, the Development Loan Fund, and the Food for Peace Program—to increase administrative efficiency and reduce bureaucracy.
USAID was formally codified as an independent federal establishment reporting to the Secretary of State under the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act.
In 2025, the administration substantially restructured foreign assistance, resulting in the cancellation of many USAID programs and the shifting of remaining functions to the US State Department.

In general though, I stay away from political podcasts aside from Asmongold and Kirsche. Sargon has gotten... strange on the Israel question as well, so I have been backing off on him.

In the skit, Ackroyd had a radio call-in show... but he couldn't get anybody to call in. So, he kept saying more and more outrageous things, but he STILL couldn't get anyone to call in.
Maybe that's why The Hodgetwins decided to go with David Duke.
Btw, David Duke is someone else I didn't realize was still alive. "Vote for the crook. It's important!"

Actually it has been a thing for a long time, especially in northern cities like New York and Chicago. They were told by race hustlers that all the buildings they lived in were owned by Jews who kept the rent high and refused to repair anything, even though in most cases it was far from the truth.

Quick Hits
From Axios:
TheBlaze
@theblaze 18m Tucker Carlson says he is done with the GOP: "How could I support a party that puts the interests of a foreign country above its own citizens? I have been a consistent defender of the Republican party for 35 years, but there is no defending this. I'm out."
What they are saying: "I'm out," Carlson said on an episode of the "Can't Be Censored" podcast that aired last Thursday but gained traction online Monday. "And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out." "I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," Carlson said, adding that the GOP has "betrayed" voters by prioritizing Israel's national security over America's. "How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to." Zoom in: Carlson says he's been a fierce defender of the GOP for 35 years, but can no longer do so. He says he also won't support Democrats and is unsure how he'll vote moving forward.He's pretending he's leaving. No, we threw your fat Nazi Hunter-Biden-loving ass out. And I do mean that he's a Nazi. He has called for "violent" revolution (before claiming he never meant to say that). He is attempting to lead a violent overthrow of the US system in order to usher in a new white supremacist concept of the country. Now I don't like the system any more than you do, but I do not want it challenged by violent revolutionaries led by this fat alcoholic grifter mental patient. I feel like Dirty Harry Callahan having to explain to the four rogue motorcycle cops that just because I hate scumbags doesn't mean I want to murder people in the streets. JD Vance's efforts to appease the Tucker Carlson Bloc turn out to have been not just wrongheaded and unamerican, but foolish and futile. You can't appease a Nazi and you can't appease a brain-damaged lunatic. And his new claims are that Al Qaeda didn't do 9/11. Who did 9/11, then? You know who. Carlson hints that it's Israel but won't say so because he wants plausible deniability. He also says that Israel killed Charlie Kirk. Well, what he says is this: He denies that Kirk was killed by the gay furry lover for "transgenderism," and then declares he was killed over "his evolving views on Israel." Which itself is a lie -- Kirk's views didn't evolve. When Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson kept badgering him to support Hamas' mission to destroy Israel, Kirk eventually gave them a noncommittal response like "Yeah I don't know if Israel should be knocking down buildings over terrorist attacks." Which these lunatics took not as what it was -- him attempting to defang these lunatics trying to turn TPUSA into a Nazi organization -- but as a deeply-felt, deeply-considered Heel Turn on Israel. (And Kirk continued supporting Israel and denouncing the animals of Hamas until the day he died.) But now he's saying that Kirk definitely, really turned on Israel and unnamed persons -- who, I wonder? -- shot him over this turn. Again, this coward wants plausible deniability for what he's plainly implying but too much of a slithering pussy to say straight. What a fucking disaster of a "man." Oh, and he also says that Gerald Platner didn't even know about his Nazi tattoo and the only people claiming he did are filthy treasonous Israelis.
Justin
JustinUSA Jun 19 As expected, Tucker Carlson has rushed to Graham Platner's defense. He claims Platner didn't even know about his Nazi tattoo, and insists the real reason people are attacking him is because he's "not sufficiently supportive of Israel."
I think Tuq'r sees that his grifting potential on the right is very low now. Last week, Me-Again Kelly, who has repeatedly told the Republican Party "f*** you" when we asked her to please do what she promised to do at TPUSA and "protect" Erika Kirk, now says that we all need to unify to fight the left. We have to join with Me-Again you guys. Sounds like her ad revenue is taking a hit, too.
Dave RubinBiden tried to block the release of the audio recordings of his "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory" interviews with special counsel Robert Hur, as well as the interviews he did with his autobiographer. He claims he has a privacy interest in the DOJ interviews and would suffer irreparable reputational damage if they were released. A judge denied his request to spare him further humiliation and continue the Biden Cover-Up.
@RubinReport 1h Told ya that Tucker would leave the Republicans and Megyn would come back to Trump. For now Tucker will say he isn't a Dem, but watch his guests and topics, they will only be pro Dem and anti Republican. His goal is to split the Republicans and usher in National Socialism...
Besides the obvious - wanting to establish just how hopelessly pudding-brained the former president was by the stage he was being quizzed by Hur - the Heritage Foundation sued under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to get access to tapes of conversations Biden had with the ghostwriter for his biography to further investigate the claims that Biden had mishandled classified information. The recordings POTATUS made with his ghostwriter are all circa 2016-2017, years before his election.
...The dispute over Biden's discussions stems from a Freedom of Information Act request that the Heritage Foundation filed in March 2024. The group sought records that former special counsel Robert Hur relied on to write specific portions of his report on Biden's handling of sensitive government records, which included passages referring to the former president's recorded conversations with Zwonitzer in 2016 and 2017. The interviews were used for Biden's 2017 memoir, "Promise Me, Dad." Hur's report referenced the former president's "diminished faculties and faulty memory" shown in Zwonitzer's recordings, and called Biden's recorded conversations with his ghostwriter "painfully slow, with Mr. Biden struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries."
They might well shed light on the basement campaign strategy, too.
Schumer shrieks that any verification of the voter rolls could remove 25 million "voters" from the lists!
Eric DaughertyBoy, blocking ineligible foreign invaders from voting could really hurt the Democrat Party! Don't worry about it -- a foreign invader Biden appointed to be a judge will stop anyone from verifying the voter rolls.
@EricLDaugh 🚨 HOLY CRAP. Sen. Chuck Schumer just sounded the alarm that the SAVE America Act will REMOVE "25 MILLION PEOPLE" from the voter rolls Keep in mind, the bill is for voter ID and proof of citizenship If true, that means 25 MILLION people are illegals or not eligible citizens without ID! 🤯 Chuck is either making crap up or HE KNOWS THERE ARE 25 MILLION ILLEGALS VOTING Which is it, Chuck? PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
Nick Sortor
@nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING: Foreign-born Biden judge Sparkle Sooknanan (yeah, that's her actual name) has just BARRED the Trump admin from checking citizenship data for voters, per AP Democrats are TERRIFIED about illegals no longer being able to vote The federal government was using a federal database to PURGE ILLEGAL VOTERS. And a judge just put a stop to that. Insanity. Bring it all the way up to SCOTUS!
SCOTUS WireThe foreigner making sure her illegal alien cousins can vote says that voters have a "right to privacy" that shields them from having their identities and citizenship verified when voting in United States elections. By the way: She's actually a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. She was naturalized under Obama as a US citizenship, but when she was asked in her Senate questionnaire if she would renounce that citizenship if made a judge, she said she would if the law requires it. Which it doesn't (insanely). So she is in fact a foreigner. Robert Gouvela argues that she lied at least twice in her Senate confirmation hearings and therefore can be impeached and removed for "high crimes and misdemeanors." And definitely, we mustn't check to see if people driving on our highways are citizens or can read simple road signs. (That's from June 1.)
@scotus_wire 🚨 Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has struck down the Trump administration's expanded SAVE voter-verification system, ruling that federal agencies unlawfully created a centralized database containing Social Security and citizenship data to facilitate mass voter verification.

Now, he can't even get a phone call with a guy who knows a guy whose cousin knows someone who works at the White House.
He threw it all away for not even sophisticated or informed Jew-hate. No, he went right to the goofy-ass kooky Jew-hate.

In my time on this blog, I have observed that ace REALLY dislikes traitors or people he feels have stabbed the movement in the back.
Its hard to argue with him on this, although I think most of the targets get off on the attention.

He's turned to shit, but i think he is just a grifting asshole who goes where the money is without firm conviction.
yeah I don't get it completely but you're wrong about this just being a grift. He does want to create a Jew-free America and he will unite with the Caliphate to achieve that. He's serious.
There are easier ways to grift than agitating for the expulsion of Jews. If you're reading from Mein Kampf, you're a true believer.

Hi,
Max Boot here. And, I'm here to help. I can show you how to leave the Republican Party and make money doing it. First, buy a fedora, and a pair of 1950's vintage black framed spectacles. Because when you leave the Republican Party, you want to look good doing it. And, you'll be wanting to leave the Republican Party five or six times over the next few years. Hats and spectacles are everyday wear and no one cares if you wear it more than once at your various press conferences.
Next ditch the old wife and get yourself a Korean one who breaks federal laws. That keeps you news relevant for your continuous political exodus routine. It's all in my starter kit, available on Amazon for $9.99. Get yours today!!! Remember..."GIVE YOURSELF THE BOOT!"

I will say, though, there was a law being changed in Utah to make voter rolls more transparent, and it didn't sound good. What it was supposedly going to do was publicly post your full name and current address on a public database. I suppose so others can verify voter rolls? But supposedly it was going to doxx everyone's info, not just for voting officials but for everyone, publicly. So that means if you have an abusive ex or stalker, they could hunt you down and find you. I had a bunch of friends freaking out about their past abusive husbands or exes coming to find them.
So, maybe not that. But any attempts to actually prove people live where, they say they live, for the sake of fair elections, always gets trounced by dems in the end, and that needs to stop.

An Instagram model and ex-LAPD cop who shot dead a knife-wielding maniac at the scene of a traffic collision is now on the hook for an excessive force lawsuit from the man’s daughter, after a ruling from the US Supreme Court.
Toni McBride, nicknamed “Top Shot” for her sharpshooting skills, can face a lawsuit from the family of Daniel Hernandez, who approached her with a boxcutter after a car wreck in downtown LA on April 22, 2020 — Supreme Court justices ruled Monday.
Hernandez’ 18-year-old daughter, Melanie Hernandez, filed her wrongful-death suit against gun model McBride on July 10, 2020, about a month after the LAPD released shocking footage of the fatal shooting from McBride’s bodycam.

A tragic multi-vehicle crash hit the 210 Freeway in Irwindale this weekend. A jackknifed semi crossed the divider, killing a 58-year-old woman and injuring 32 others, including children.
The driver has been identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh from Yuba City. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

And of course, I'm grateful for this place, even though I have mostly been a drive-by lurker lately. Life events happened and punched me in the face.

My egg cracked a few weeks before his conception and so my wife, seeing her chance for a baby disappearing and fuelled by suicidal ideation, forced me to conceive with her. Im still somewhat damaged by the experience.
it took me a long time to discover and explore who I was and how I related to womanhood. But while all that was going on, we referred to mum as “mummy” and me as “daddy”. Of course, it stuck. We always taught him that “daddy is a girl” and he is perfectly fine with that. But as far as he is concerned, Im his daddy and the more time passes, the more noticeable my discomfort is becoming to me.
Being “mum” doesn’t feel right either. I feel like a woman with an asterisk: a fraud? Plausible femininity at best.
I hate fathers day. We both try celebrating mothers day but its like im intruding on her birthday. The day is for her. Fathers day is for me. Thats what I did. That was my…contribution despite the self loathing, trauma, and tears.

My egg cracked a few weeks before his conception and so my wife, seeing her chance for a baby disappearing and fuelled by suicidal ideation, forced me to conceive with her. Im still somewhat damaged by the experience.
What the fuck? I mean, what the fucking fuck?

I hate fathers day. We both try celebrating mothers day but its like im intruding on her birthday. The day is for her. Fathers day is for me. Thats what I did. That was my…contribution despite the self loathing, trauma, and tears.

Easy answer here.
Run away and live your best life felching dogs or whatever gross shit you're into.
You'll be much happier than pretending at fatherhood, and your kids and poor, beleaguered wife will be much better off with a clean break now, than suffering whatever misery you visit upon them later, as your madness progresses.
That one's for free. Next time you visit Dr. YD for therapy, I'm taking the cost of it out of you with a truncheon.

A while back i *tried* listening to his series on Jonestown., because the topic is very interesting to me... It was one of the stupider "histories" of anything I've heard, and somehow also stultifyingly boring, which is tough to pull off when discussing the Peoples Temple.
Cooper has a knack for weaving in a LOT of content about Darryl Cooper in the weirdest, most hamhanded ways. The history of Jonestown is about Jim Jones and San Francisco, and syncretic Christianity, and cult brainwashing, and race, and Leftist politics, but mostly about Darryl Cooper, you see?
I made it through maybe about 4 episodes and gave the fuck up.

I have been busy watching youtubes of people from all over the world loving the USA because of the World Cup.
I don't watch soccer but love the fans and they love the USA. All aspects from food, to our college stadiums, marching bands, patriotism, flags flying, and singing our National Anthem loudly.
We take all of this for granted. Not the love of the USA, but the freedoms and happiness.
What a fantastic and unexpected (for me) gift to us right before our 250th Birthday!
Hundreds of thousands of fans will go back to their countries and tell them they are being lied to by the media, that the USA is grand and they love it!
I have hope and prayer that some will see what it's like and want it for their countries, while it will be hard, I have hope and prayers.
We take America for granted, the freedoms and prosperity. The food. The appliances. The fact that we are not jailed for memes or political snark.
Remember, though, in our thoughts during the Obungo Error, in the camps I have a corner bunk near the A/C. Just in case anyone forgot, as I called dibs a long time ago.

Ro Khanna, Attempting to Appeal to the Antifa Left for His Presidential Run, Begins the Assassination Prep Machine Against Elon Musk
He says this as the left is shooting all of their hate objects and cheering on the assassins.Elon Musk 'needs to answer' for 4.5M kids 'sentenced to death' over DOGE cuts, Ro Khanna argues By Lindsay Kornick, Fox News Khanna suggested that the Democratic Party take initiative to hold Musk accountable if they were to regain control over the House of Representatives or the Senate. "I do believe once we take power, there needs to be accountability," Khanna said on the "I've Had It" podcast. "There needs to be accountability for Elon Musk. You know, they're celebrating that he created 4,400 millionaires, but they don't talk about the 4.5 million children around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USAID." Khanna continued, "He needs to answer for that. He needs to be subpoenaed. He needs to face investigation. He needs to answer for what he did with DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency]. It's not just 'let's move on.'" Host Jennifer Welch agreed with the idea of investigating Musk, claiming that he was responsible for "killing" millions through DOGE's government spending cuts.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk 3h Absolutely. This is a total lie. All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane! Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money. Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!
C3For his part, Musk is calling Ro Khanna "the Robber" due to his being among the most egregious in Congress making day trades based on insider information:
@C_3C_3 They're trying to do to Elon what they did to POTUS Trump. And Charlie Kirk. Poison the minds of mentally unstable people with lies. The goal is to get the unstable to act out violently. The Left knows exactly what they're doing. Ro knows exactly what he's doing. Must stop.
DogeDesignerThe real reason the foreign communist operatives are upset by USAID cuts are, of course, 1, USAID was how they were funneling millions to themselves, their family members, their staffers, and their donors (in payback for the donation), and, 2, USAID money was used to prop up communist governments in the third world and destabilize non-communist ones. Without the dirty communist State/CIA slush fund, communist governments are falling in South America.

BREAKING: Elon Musk calls out Ro Khanna as his household wealth reportedly grew from roughly $27--46 million to an estimated $232.7 million. 631 million total trade volume across 38,666 trades since entering Congress, most prolific Democratic trader in House history. 2022 investigation found 15% overlap between his legislative work and family stock holdings Ro Khanna's AI-focused trades returned +112.1% excess over the S&P 500 from January 2024 through April 2026, far beating Nancy Pelosi's +38.5% outperformance. 143% return on Nvidia shares bought via wife's trust in Feb 2024, right before CHIPS Act helped double the stock Ro 'the Robber' Khanna seems to be the most active insider trader in Congress.
Colombians went to the polls for their presidential run-off election yesterday. Fourteen hours or so ago, the Washington Post had a worm on its tongue and was waiting with baited, horrified breath for what looked to be one of the remaining Leftist South American dominoes to fall to, as they love to call it, 'the Trump-back hard-right-wing.' [CUE: terrified woman's cream...or soyboy's] You know - the law and order guys who are tired of cartels and communistsThe idea of actually campaigning on imprisoning gang members and drug cartel operatives has the WaPo so frazzled they had to invoke the name of one of their favorite boegymen, Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, to show just how bad this could be for the current narco-state of Colombia. DON'T BE EL SALVADOR!
A pro-Trump wave has swept Latin America. Colombia appears to be next. Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right firebrand, won at least 49.6 percent of the vote, according to an initial count, beating leftist Iván Cepeda by less than a percentage point. In one Latin American election after another, President Donald Trump has gotten exactly what he wanted. Right-wing, pro-Trump candidates have defeated leftists across the region, as the Trump administration has pursued the most aggressive U.S. intervention in Central and South America in decades. And on Sunday night, a Trump-endorsed outsider appeared headed for a victory in Colombia's presidential election. Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right firebrand, won at least 49.6 percent of the vote, according to an initial count, beating leftist Iván Cepeda by less than a percentage point. Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a Cepeda ally, has not recognized a winner, and said a formal ballot review process would determine the final results. If the results hold, de la Espriella could be an ideal partner in Trump's lethal war against alleged drug traffickers on land and at sea. An ostentatious criminal defense lawyer who has never held public office, de la Espriella, 47, calls himself "the tiger." He has vowed to build megaprisons for drug traffickers, to bomb "narco-terrorist camps" and abandon Petro's efforts to broker peace with Colombia's long-standing guerrillas.

@JohnLeFevre Colombia just exposed the entire American election grift: 1. Marxist leftist regimes can't win clean elections without foreign cash pipelines like USAID. 2. A narco state counted ~25 million votes in under 2 hours - paper ballots, in-person voting, ID required, and public hand-counting. Cleaner, faster, and more transparent than California, which is still "finding" mail-in ballots weeks later. 3. Democrats don't have a "voter suppression" problem. They have a competence and integrity problem.
The streets of Bogotà, Colombia have just erupted in celebration due to the victory of @ABDELAESPRIELLA!

@BuzzPatterson THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR Trump and Elon officially shut down USAID in July 2025 after the big foreign aid freeze. Since then, right-wing leaders have swept to victory across the region, at least 7 major wins in quick succession: • Chile: José Antonio Kast (hard-right, biggest rightward shift in decades)
• Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz (ended decades of socialist MAS rule)
• Ecuador: Daniel Noboa (re-elected on law-and-order)
• Colombia: Abelardo de la Espriella (far-right surge into the runoff)
• Peru: Right-wing momentum building hard
• Honduras & Costa Rica: Conservative/right-populist takeovers Coincidence? Or did cutting off billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars that were flowing to leftist NGOs, "democracy" programs, and activist networks finally let voters decide for themselves? The pink tide is collapsing. People are choosing security over chaos, sovereignty over dependency, and results over ideology. This is what happens when the money tap gets turned off and the people get to speak.

That is, they claimed this was anti-communist because they were funding socialists who weren't all the way communist.
Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol's father, was one of the socialists who were paid by the CIA to publish a propaganda magazine. (Irv Kristol later turned against the left entirely.)

Following the cancellation of a majority of USAID-managed contracts, the State Department initiated the transfer and discontinuation of remaining functions to align with new administration priorities.
Foreign aid policy now heavily favors government-to-government bilateral spending, shifting away from smaller awards to private firms and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Despite the organizational phase-out, the USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG) maintains active oversight, audit, and investigative jurisdiction over legacy foreign assistance funds, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and transitioning
programs.
Rho Khanna clearly knows every fact above. (Progressives like to play the OxFam game in front of the masses.)
15% of Rho Khanna's fortune - possibly over 330 million - could certainly go far to helping California's free food programs.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. And, I still think the massive fraud associated with hospice, at home childcare, and any number of other social services is instrumental in funding the Democrats, and that's why they're pulling out all the stops to avoid the prosecution (and even the investigation) or people like Tim Walz.
In Minnesota alone they were flying out nearly $20 Million in cash weekly via international airlines. That gets the money out, and set-up for laundering, with a portion returned to Democrats via a massive amount of foreign donations below the reporting threshold (which is where Act Blue came in and assigned donations to unknowing US citizens)

I must dissent from your characterization of French Guiana as being a "French colony."
It is an overseas department of France, and it elects representatives to the French parliament, just like Paris or Limoges.
It's also a member of the European Union, which it joined voluntarily, & can un-join if it ever wants to do so.
France DOES have some true colonies, but... French Guiana isn't one of them.

That's what "hacking" a democracy really looks like--where so much foreign money flows to one party that it completely drowns any opposition.

The CIA was involved in drug trafficking to make extra money. It is said that it was a CIA interrogator that tortured Kiki Camarena (DEA agent, killed in Guadalajara in the mid 80's) and later testified before Congress denying what he did...

Where is it written in the Constitution or any law, treaty, or official document, that the United States MUST provide food, clothing, and medicine for every child in Third World shitholes? Providing money for this is a 'luxury' expense. The US can no longer afford billions and billions of dollars of foreign aid 'luxury' spending every year.
Why don't the Europeans provide the annual food, clothes and healthcare funding for 4.5 million children that the US is supposedly ending? Simply bitching and whining about some other nation not providing child assistance funding is not going to provide anything for those children. Step-up yourselves to aid the world's chirrun if it's so damned important to you. Are you bitching and whining about China not helping those chirrun? Why not?

I tried a 72 hour fast. I have a scale that is supposed to give a body makeup breakdown which I figure is not exact, but a guideline. A few things:
- lost 6 lbs overall from start to finish.
- muscle loss was small (.1 lb) between start and 48 hours. Between 48 and 72 however, it was about half off the weight lost (lost a total of 2.1 lbs overall.)
- visceral fat loss was not particularly high proportion of weight loss.
- water amount held steady throughout (although oddly, I found myself wanting less and less water as it progressed.)
- ketosis as usual took about 24-36 hours to kick in. At 60 hours it was very high by the test strips.straps.
-I feel good after breaking the fast, but I wonder about the lack of 'wonderful mental clarity' the flaks insist on as you get beyond 48 hours.

Correct. French Guiana IS France's Cape Canaveral.

New Caledonia had an independence referendum within living memory, and independence lost. They voted to maintain their status as a French possession.

The only thing that will be more shocking than how much the federal government was working AGAINST us will be what it's like when it's working FOR us.
And we are a good 2+ years--Vance winning, God willing--before we get to the second part.
Every day, we see more and more and more just how much the entire weight, force and power of the federal government was being used against Americans--at home and abroad.
And we're just scratching the surface because of how completely the Democrats had subverted the whole of government to serve them and only them.

Then, I will ask AI to categorize those sources as to which way they lean politically. Apparently, no one has programmed to shut up. They will hang themselves by admitting a majority of sources to be left leaning....and that's when it gets fun.
I'll accuse that particular AI of being biased by its own admission. The responses from AI after than are usually interesting in that they will try to rationalize something they have already admitted.

When the government sentences you to death, nobody can, at their will, come along and provide a pardon.
Now, USAID not paying for something--even if it were life-threatening--puts USAID in the same circumstance as everybody else not paying for the same thing.

If you square off with "I just feel" person ? And that happens here from time to time. Happened with Darrel Harris last night. He wants to feel.
Takes a hard ass to really confront it. None of you want to be that hard ass. None of you want to call it what it is.
If you can't do it on a board ? Not gonna' do it in meat-space.

Elon and Trump specified that there would be no cuts to things that actually saved lives. This is the Democrat machine knowing that the media will enforce the the narrative that benefits the Democrats and their client, Big Graft.
The Democrats just want to throw chaff to get their graft back.
USAID is spelled like that because it's deceptive.
It's really about "International Development" as in "US Agency for International Development".
It's mainly been about the IC having funds to "develop" assets and situations around the world.
The IC knows that most people are Lofos, and they want the lofos to see "AID" at the end.

One, fake news. Canada has no guns and is violence free as a result.

Europeans Visiting the US for the World Cup Have Been Marveling At American Plenty, So the Left-Wing Bitter Widow Vanity Magazine "The Atlantic" Tries to Prove It's All a Right-Wing Psyop
This has been going on for a couple of weeks. Europeans are posting videos (mostly TikToks) showing themselves astounded by the portion sizes at American restaurants, enjoying American conveniences, delighting in America's unique cuisine (such as barbecue and chicken and waffles), and generally enjoying the American way of life.
Emanuel Quiñones
@EQuinones6310 Jun 19 The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee's. There are no words for Buccee's. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.

Have you still your headquarters in Stralow? At this time of year and in the land where no lemon trees are in bloom, can this be thinkable? But where are you then? That is the question, and for a practical man the first requirement for correspondence is to know an address. Therefore, I have to take advantage of the kindness of others.In other words, Karl Marx is a transient with no fixed abode and does not update his father on his current whereabouts. But he "takes advantage of the kindness of others," which I assume means he gave this letter to a mutual friend to deliver to the itinerant communist dipshit.
His father's kind of witty. He's mocking the idea that Marx has no "material" to write to him about.
An address, however, is form, and precisely that seems to be your weak side. Things may well be different as regards material?
At least, one should suppose so, if one bears in mind: 1) that you have no lack of subject-matter, 2) that your situation is serious enough to arouse great interest, 3) that your father is perhaps somewhat partial in his attachment to you, etc., etc., etc., and yet after an interval of two months, the second of which caused me some unpleasant hours full of anxiety, I received a letter without form or content, a torn fragment saying nothing, which stood in no relation to what went before it and had no connection with the future! If a correspondence is to be of interest and value, it must have consistency, and the writer must necessarily have his last letter before his eyes, as also the last reply. Your last letter but one contained much that excited my expectation. I had written a number of letters which asked for information on my points. And instead of all that, I received a letter of bits and fragments, and, what is much worse, an embittered letter.Marx was a manic-depressive lunatic, as one could gather from his Exclamation-Point-Riddled-Rants!!!, and I imagine the last fragmentary letter to his father was written in his style of deranged excitement and denunciation, which caused the poor dad to worry.
Frankly speaking, my dear Karl, I do not like this modern word ["embittered"], which all weaklings use to cloak their feelings when they quarrel with the world because they do not possess, without labour or trouble, well-furnished palaces with vast sums of money and elegant carriages. This embitterment disgusts me and you are the last person from whom I would expect it. What grounds can you have for it? Has not everything smiled on you ever since your cradle? Has not nature endowed you with magnificent talents? Have not your parents lavished affection on you? Have you ever up to now been unable to satisfy your reasonable wishes? And have you not carried away in the most incomprehensible fashion the heart of a girl whom thousands envy you? Yet the first untoward event, the first disappointed wish, evokes embitterment! Is that strength? Is that a manly character?FUCKING GO OFF KING!
You yourself had declared, in dry words, that you would be satisfied with assurances for the future, and because of them renounce all outward signs for the present. Did you not make that renunciation word for word in writing? And only children complain about the word they have given when they begin to feel pressure.I don't know what this means but the sense I get is that Marx has pestered his father relentlessly for money, writing only when he needed some, and at some point angrily declared he would trouble him no further for it, and now the father is asking: Did you not tell me directly that you would no longer make demands on my wallet? Are you a "child" who now regrets that declaration and seeks to undo it?
Yet here too your luck holds. Your good mother, who has a softer heart than I have and to whom it still very often occurs that we too were once the plaything of the little blind rogue, sounded the alarm, and the all too good parents of your Jenny could hardly wait for the moment when the poor, wounded heart would be consoled, and the recipe is undoubtedly already in your hands, if a defective address has not caused the epistle to go astray. Time is limited, for Sophie is to take the letter before the post to the von Westphalens, who now live far away, and this good opportunity also was announced to me only today, so that I must conclude. As a matter of fact, at present I would not know what to say, at most I could only put questions to you, and I do not like to be importunate. Only one thing more my Herr Son will still allow me, namely, to express my surprise that I have still not received any request for money! Or do you perhaps want already now to make up for it from the too great amount taken? It's a little too early for that.I think the means "I am surprised I have not received a demand for money since your last one," as he goes on to mention "too great amount [of money already] taken."
What a shock, a spoiled communist, refusing to pay his parents any kindness, only writing when he needs more money to continue loafing around without contributing anything to society (and indeed, as the fullness of time will reveal, doing a great deal to destroy it.)
Your dear mother refused to reconcile herself entirely to the fact that you did not come home in the autumn as the others did. If it is too long for you and dear mother until next autumn, you could come for the Easter vacation.

We didn’t have to build any stadiums like past host countries have done.
Why?
Because we had so many FOOTBALL stadiums, both NFL and SEC that could easily host an international event.

Do these people know why those things happen in America, and WHERE they happen? All they ever had to do was leave the big blue city in the blue state and move to some high-trust Republican suburb.

Apparently a "3 lane" highway in Athens is really a 5-land highway with the cycles using the white lines as their own lanes.

The steakhouse I worked at used to make all their dressings and for some reason they baked a big tray of Roquefort in the oven prior to mixing in with the other ingredients. That was the worst smell I think I've ever had the misfortune of smelling. Indoors.

Latest I saw was that it's not 51% of Americans who have passports.
But, yeah, we live in a huge country with so much to see and do. There's often little need to go to another country to "see the world". I can live in Florida, go see new mountains in Colorado, old mountains in Virginia, buildings older than what's standing in Vienna by going to New England, housing older than the vast majority of Europe in Arizona, and wilds like they can't believe in Alaska.

I think because we don't need passports to get to different climates or geographically different areas.
We have mountains, oceans,rivers, beaches,volcanoes, plains, and deserts. I don't think any European nation has the same.

Below is a recipe I posted late in yesterday's Food Thread ... Free free to share it with any and all of your European friends ... Only two challenges I foresee are finding
mayonnaise comparable to Hellman's, and packages of powdered pectic which do not include sugar (might need to shop at health food stores or pharmacies).
============
RANCH DRESSING: Hidden Valley clone -- makes 2 cups
1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Duke's, not MiracleWhip)
1 cup store-bought buttermilk* OR
*1 cup whole milk + 1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. dried thyme powder
Combine all ingredients in a bowl ... Stir, chill, then stir again until uniform ... To thicken, gradually add Sure-Jell powdered pectin in 1/8 tsp. increments until the dressing is as thick as you want it to be.

Probably not in the 5 lb. chubs though.
Per a German I know, the stores started losing variety of products about 15 years ago, and a lot of the variety of brands, and even then options of the sizes available for the same item.
Stores are also smaller, focused on a single type of food with fewer general stores. Storage is also a thing, so there is a tendency to buy only for the week or a few days.

There's a small restaurant in Trastevere in Rome that I made sure we went back to when I took the family to Italy last year.
Their signature dish is Rigatoni Democratici (it's how I google the place, I can never remember the restaurant's actual name).
I'd eaten it a couple of times when I lived there 16 years ago, and I'd always loved it. Took the family there, and I definitely got it again. Still a banger of a dish.
Italy makes good food in just random restaurants. The rest? I'm always...whelmed. German sausages? Fine. English breakfasts? Okay. Anything in France outside fancy restaurants? Essentially middling peasant food.

Many have been noting that the propaganda arm of the world and American media — Americans are terrible and their country is dangerous and trash and you should avoid them — is crumbling. Too many people came here and saw it with their own eyes. What has seen, in person and then on X/TikTok, cannot be unseen. Can't stop the signal.
It also shows us the freedoms and abundance we need to preserve and defend at all costs!
As a plus, the Canadians have been acting the way Europeans THOUGHT we would behave — surly, unfriendly, stingy. (Sorry Canadian Morons! But I'm getting schadenfreude from it.)

Australia and New Zealand were next on my list. Then they bowed and scraped before the WuFlu hoax. Imagine if you'd been trapped there on a vacation in 2020-21.
There are really no other foreign countries I'd like to see enough to spend the money. Individual points of interest, yes, like Antarctica and the southern tips of South America and Africa, and the part of Saskatchewan where my mother grew up. But seeing those would require going to the countries they are in.

Our kids lived in Europe and I watched the little ones while parents went on a trip. The combo washer dryer was terrible. They didn’t have a place to line dry things and no idea how many cycles to dry anything! They did have a small heated towel rack which also became a dryer. Normal US family wouldnt last with euro sized laundry machines. But that is what the left wants for us.

Have visited over 20 states. Invited by a Southern family for Thanksgiving, which blew their minds and included hunting. They are trying to come to America to live.
The shock of someone, a stranger, saying hello. Sort of sad, as I thought this normal.

Everybody will come back home with +10kg at the belly (thats's about 18 freedom eagles)
Just wait until the Americans go to Europe and see free healthcare and education….
You know most are fake or parody right? But the free water is needed in Europe. Greedy ass continent charging 4 euros for a bottle of water every time you go out.
I like america. Wish it would embrace free healthcare, increase the minimum wage, get money out of politics and stop electing anyone who says the word "jesus" in a semi coherent sentence. Then we could have a country where we get these little things, and are able to live well.

James and Siana said before their first (of several) trips to the USA that they were warned how dangerous it was here.
They did get robbed in California but otherwise love the USA, the food, the sites, the people.
I think these people go back and tell their countries the media propaganda is bs. Good!
No wonder the commies are upset that their dystopian hallucinations are bs.
I don't watch the World Cup but I do love the hurrah America videos.

There was a law in California, back in the day, that if you served food you had to have a public toilet. I worked in a Baskin-Robbins in High School. If a customer requested use of it, we were gracious. Not a clean as a Buc-ees, but served its purpose.

First off we have next to free Wattoo. Here. Go to in state and live at home, get a china ship or two and it’s free. Very doable.
But the part they miss is what “free” gets you. Like everything govt gives away for “free” it’s rationed and shitty. It’s hard to get into college in Europe. And there’s no $30M library or gym on campus. Everything is old and run down. There are the exceptions like Oxford but that is NOT free, even for UK students.

Funny you should say that. There is a video of this Scotish guy whose wife had a medical emergency so he took her to a hospital emergency room and she was in and out in less than and hour, and they couldn't stop talking about how well they were treated, and how professional everyone was.
Then the kicker: He said that if this occured in the UK he would have had to wait for hours, and then likely told to come back in 3 weeks time.
His total bill was about $700 most of which will be absorbed by the Brit system.

Boston enjoyed the Brits so much they sent a cart full of food and drinks to an airport gate where a Scottish group was waiting for a flight to go to Miami for the next round.
People can say it's fake all they want and I'm sure there are some doing it for clicks but what happened in Boston over the last couple of weeks was not fake. Both Bostonians and Scottish visitors had a great party.

I was watching some British cooking competition and they had a Mexican food themed segment. It was so funny. 90% of the contestants had never even heard of the foods they were trying to recreate. They were literally just guessing what might go into the dish based on the name.

Massachusetts Middle School Principal Apoglogizes to Muslim Students for Making Them Feel "Unseen" and "Unsafe" for... A Teacher Teaching a Standard, Basic Lesson About the Holocaust
They intend to make you submit to Islam.
StopAntisemitism
@StopAntisemites Boston (Lexington), MA: William Diamond Middle School Principal Johnny Cole sent an email apologizing to Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and Lebanese students who were offended by a mandatory Holocaust lesson. Since when is teaching historical fact something that requires an apology? And why is a school principal validating outrage over Holocaust education instead of defending it?
Kevin Deutsch
@kdeutschjourno A Massachusetts middle school principal apologized to seventh-grade students after some families complained that a lesson on antisemitism and the Holocaust left them feeling "unseen" and "less safe." The email message from William Diamond Middle School Principal Dr. Johnny Cole, of Lexington, Massachusetts, was sent to families following a presentation that connected Holocaust education to contemporary antisemitism -- at a time when hatred of Jews has reached unprecedented levels in the U.S.
Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek
@karenalainehunt 17h Absolutely sickening. Boston (Lexington), MA: William Diamond Middle School Principal Johnny Cole sent an email apologizing to Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and Lebanese students who were offended by a mandatory Holocaust lesson. He was so sorry they "felt unseen" and that their "own history, identity, community" had been "left out". Seriously??? The Holocaust is about 6 million JEWS being murdered, along with others such as Christians who protected Jews, homosexuals and the mentally ill murdered along with them. Only several dozen Muslims were killed in the death camps and most were Russian prisoners of war. Their deaths had nothing to do with being Muslim. But Islam requires that EVERYTHING be about them and their point of view. And their point of view, based on the Quran, is that Jews SHOULD be killed. Islam glories in the death of Jews! Here's an idea: If Muslims want to be included in history lessons about the Holocaust, they should learn about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem plotting with Hitler to kill the Jews!
The View welcomes antisemitism with open arms.

Somewhat related, I wonder how long it will before someone accused of murdering a black guy in some kind of confrontation uses the "Karmelo Defense."
"Your Honor, it was a young angry black man screaming at me and threatening me. Karmelo murdered a kid over nothing, just stabbed him in the heart. I wasn't gonna end up like Austin Metcalf. I feared for my life and defended myself before I was stabbed in the heart."
It's coming. Only a matter of time. And it could be used by black defendants too.

The minorities that came before, such as Jewish people, Italians, Poles, Greeks, are pretty well assimilated. However, since the 1970s assimilation is seen as a bad thing (a "new left" idea, just like affirmative action). Newer arrivals who come in large groups will probably never assimilate.

Here's an idea: If Muslims want to be included in history lessons about the Holocaust, they should learn about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem plotting with Hitler to kill the Jews!
Especially since there's some evidence, although not definitive, that the Grand Muffie gave Hitler the idea for the Teutonic Happy Fun Camps in the first place.

Now used by retarded but vicious college students and paid protestors as a cause celebré that they don't actually understand but helps give their pathetic lives purpose and a sense of belonging with other retarded and vicious people.

What does that mean in the context of a school lesson? I know this is social justice therapy talk, but even within that context, it has a (bullshit) meaning.
They were overlooked, their identity wasn't reflected, they weren't personally recognized, etc. This is typically what that means.
Why are you supposed to feel that way during a school lesson about the Holocaust? When I learned about it, I thought it was a horrible thing that happened. I may have done some introspection to make sure those events DIDN'T reflect any part of me or my mindset.

After yet another rant from Yasser Arafat at the UN, Ariel Sharon took a turn to speak.
He walked to the podium and announced, "We too have complaints. Why are history tell us, when Moses first came to the promised land he laid down his staff and cloak and took a bath as he was hot and tired. And right then a group of Palestinians ran up and stole his things and ran off..."
At that point Arafat interrupted him yelling, "LIES! There were no Palestinians then!" at which point Sharon noted, "Finally something we agree one"

You are again incorrectly generalizing. There are dozens of major "Chasidic" sects. You're referring mostly to Satmar and Sqverer - which are practically the same.
You also don't know to distinguish between "Chasidim" and "Lithuanian" religious Jews, the latter overwhelmingly abhorent of the left in general.
And then there "Orthodox" who don't want to be clumped into the "modern Orthodox" camp.

islam exists for two classes of people in this world--the slavers and their slaves.
Every muslim wishes to be a slaver or to own slaves.
Every muslim is a slave to whoever has the most power nearest to them.
All muslims are slave to their idol they call a god.

Oh, no! They didn't "feel seen?"
What does that mean in the context of a school lesson? I know this is social justice therapy talk, but even within that context, it has a (bullshit) meaning.
They were overlooked, their identity wasn't reflected, they weren't personally recognized, etc. This is typically what that means.
Why are you supposed to feel that way during a school lesson about the Holocaust? When I learned about it, I thought it was a horrible thing that happened. I may have done some introspection to make sure those events DIDN'T reflect any part of me or my mindset.
Posted by: bonhomme

Exactly! That's why I was asking what was in the lesson. Standard WWII history? And the Muslim kids were mad that they were "unseen"?
I suspect it was a case of "WE'RE VICTIMS, TOO, YOU KNOW!" (sniffle, whimper) Kids being forced to sit there while someone else got their turn at the top of the victim pyramid -- as if Jews revel in that.

And the other was a Muslim. I thought it was a weird combination. . It was about the only time recently when I have been at all pleased about the the victory of Democrats.

My friend that worked there thought it was strange that he liked to have Toys R Us close down so he could take a bunch of little kids shopping. The jewelry shopping with small boys was also strange. He wore weird disguises, wigs and fake beards.

Keir Starmer Announces Resignation as His Pre-Arranged Replacement Is Sworn In To Parliament
Before that, here's a completely unrelated story.
UK Police told mother of daughter stabbed to death 23 times with screwdriver by Rwandan 'asylum seeker' to 'tone down' statement to avoid anti-migrant 'violence' 27-year-old Rhiannon Whyte was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver in October 2024. Her killer, Deng Majek, was a Sudanese national and was later sentenced to 29 years in prison. by: Hayden Cunningham UK Police told mother of daughter stabbed to death 23 times with screwdriver by Rwandan 'asylum seeker' to 'tone down' statement to avoid anti-migrant 'violence'Keir Starmer hung on to power in order to have an "orderly" -- that is, scripted and pre-decided by party elites -- transition of power. The transition involves making another leftist, Andy Burnham, PM. Starmer couldn't do this right away because Burnham had actually left Parliament (I think to be mayor of Manchester). So Starmer hung on to his seat to allow time for the currently-serving leftist Member of Parliament of Burnham's old district to resign, and then for a by-election to be scheduled to fill the seat, and then for Burnham to be elected as an MP again. By the way I wasn't even 100% certain that the current MP for Manchester resigned specifically to allow Burnahm to run to replace him when I wrote that paragraph. I just assumed it. But now, having bothered to check, yes this was all arranged by party leaders. He was literally sworn in as a "new" MP a couple of hours ago.
ad-image Police in the United Kingdom encouraged the family of a hotel worker who was murdered by an asylum seeker to moderate their public statements out of concern that the killing could trigger anti-immigration protests. 27-year-old Rhiannon Whyte was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver in October 2024. Her killer, Deng Majek, was a Sudanese national and was later sentenced to 29 years in prison. The killing came just months after the Southport child murders, which sparked anti-migrant riots and demonstrations across parts of the UK. Whyte's mother, Siobhan, said police were concerned about the possibility of the murder prompting further unrest, saying they didn't want "another Southport." "Did they tell us what to say? No. Did they guide us so it didn't look so aggressive? Maybe. I was aggressive -- they toned it down," she said, according to the Daily Mail. "Those migrants were out within two hours -- I think that's because [the police] feared violence," Siobhan said. Following the revelation that Majek had arrived in the UK on a small boat just three months before the attack, Siobhan publicly accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of having "blood on his hands."
And now that he's an MP again, he will be coronated PM. And then he'll serve until the next required election in 2029. But not yet. Starmer says he'll remain in office for a while as they further scheme to coronate Burnham. He says he'll definitely be out by September, though.
Neil Farage, leader of Reform, is calling for a sooner election -- a "snap" general election -- as are many, many others.
Politics UKBut that will be ignored, of course, because while Labour can arrange and confabulate a single win in a Labour stronghold, they will be destroyed in any national election. Democracy. Mmmm, drink it in.

@RupertLowe10 Vile attempts by Zack Polanski, Humza Yousaf and many others to demonise me following the release of our rape gang inquiry report will not work. For decades the mass rape of vulnerable white girls by gangs of Pakistani Muslims was covered up exactly because of efforts like this. It will not work anymore. There is a clear link between religion and these abhorrent crimes that have stained on our nation for so very long. That religion is Islam, and other politicians must finally find the courage to say so. Threats, abuse and intimidation will not work. We have held our hearings, the report has been published and now we move onto the private prosecution phase. Our aim is to put rapists and their enablers in prison. That is now our objective.

The same 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh from Yuba City caused a fatal chain-reaction crash on Oct 21, 2025, on the I-10 Freeway in Ontario, CA.

I know this is a joke, but the hardest part about making a kebab is making the marinade. That part is maybe a 2/10 difficulty.
Cube your lamb or chicken, soak the meat in the marinade for a day, skewer the meat with some bell peppers and onions, grill the skewers with meat and veggies on them. Viola, delicious kebabs. Easy peasy.

That number is contested.
A number that is NOT contested is the 13,000 subset of those cases over which Starmer was directly responsible, before becoming PM. 2008-2013, he was in charge of the Crown Prosecution Service. Those were the cases which the CPS dropped because the witnesses were unreliable.

All the good ones are dead or came here. Plus, the class system in UK is pure poison. Those in the lower ranks have been conditioned for dozens of generations that they are inferior and deserve to get lorded over by the elites. It's kind of their defense mechanism, to accept their lot in life and not think about it too much.
Those in the upper ranks have been conditioned to think they are superior to the lowyard proles -- and are entitled to take what they want -- and that everything they do is enlightened awesomeness.

"Evil Brit" is a fairly popular trope.

I'm officially down 20lbs.
BMI says I'm now overweight. Hilariously, for a 6'5" guy, "normal weight" is between 155lbs and 210lbs. Right around 205-215 is a good weight for me as far as looks and health. If I cut down to 165 or 155, I'd look like a plague victim.

From the article:
"So, is Britain poorer than Mississippi? The answer appears to be yes, and it’s yes for many other European countries as well.
Why is this? Well, as we showed above, it’s not because the United States lacks a welfare state. The US has a very large welfare state. On the other hand, the US does often have a lower tax burden than most European countries. Moreover, Americans benefit from the very large free-trade zone that is the United States which very lightly regulates the movement of goods and services from state to state. In contrast, European states still impose many regulations on cross-border trade. For example, the IMF has noted that “Europe’s internal barriers are equivalent to a 45% tariff on manufactured goods and a 110% levy on services.” Overall economic regulation is certainly heavy in Europe as well.

Except those numbers are not right. UK total GDP is over $4.2 trillion and MS is no more than $165 billion. It is just not true that UK's per capital GDP is less than MS, no matter how much we wish it were true.

Fathomless Corruption: Feds Probe Gavin and Jennifer Newsom's Wholesale Looting of Taxpayer Money Through Their "Non-Profit" Grifter Organizations
NewsForceThe Sac Bee:
@Newsforce 🚨🇺🇸Federal investigations are targeting the Newsom family's nonprofits and personal finances. Officials are examining $3.7 million paid to the governor's wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom from her charities over the past decade. Gavin Newsom himself is also being probed for soliciting millions in behested payments for her organizations from major donors with state business. Questions have also surfaced about how the couple bought a $3.7 million Sacramento home through an LLC that allegedly didn't appear on his tax returns. No charges have been filed yet.
Federal investigators are digging into the finances of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The governor calls it a political attack tied to his expected 2028 presidential run. The Trump administration's Justice Department is probing the Newsoms' ties to nonprofits, taxes and business dealings going back years. Siebel Newsom has occupied a higher profile position compared to the spouses of other state leaders. The filmmaker and gender equity advocate has helped shape her husband's policies on issues like reproductive health, the male loneliness and mental health crisis, school nutrition, and regulating children's access to social media. Here are key takeaways: The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Siebel Newsom's taxes and nonprofits connected to her and the governor, with several probes ongoing for about a year that originated from whistleblower complaints to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento. IRS and FBI agents have approached staff, friends and associates of the Newsoms in recent weeks and obtained their bank records. The Governor's Office said the probe intensified after Todd Blanche became acting head of the DOJ. One of the investigations is connected to Dana Williamson, Newsom's former chief of staff, who pleaded guilty to fraud and lying to the FBI last month and faces up to 38 years in prison. Siebel Newsom earned about $2.3 million from the Representation Project nonprofit between 2011 and 2018. A 2021 Sacramento Bee investigation found more than $800,000 in donations to the nonprofit from companies that lobby the governor, including PG&E, AT&T and Kaiser Permanente. Just days before the DOJ probe became public, the state's Fair Political Practices Commission fined Newsom $31,500 for failing to report $5.6 million in charitable donations on time, with most going to the California Fire Foundation during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. Newsom was late filing reports on so-called behested payments 34 times in 2025, and the governor has previously been fined for failing to disclose $14 million in donations made between 2019 and 2024.There's a reason Newsom doesn't want to admit these "behested payments." The "behested payments" -- when a politician requests/demands payments to a charity he favors -- aren't illegal but are a "problem," admits the left-wing LA Times.
After Gov. Gavin Newsom announced this week that the U.S. Department of Justice may be investigating his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, media and pundits pounced on millions in charity payments he has solicited for nonprofits, including ones she is involved in. Those donations, known as "behested payments," aren't illegal in California, but, long before Newsom started asking for them, many have found them unsavory -- with good cause. A behest, after all, is by definition a command or at least a strong suggestion. Anytime a politician is commanding money, regardless of the purpose, there is at least the appearance that the giver -- Meta, Google, Blue Shield for example -- may expect something in return. It may seem absurd that the Trump administration could be investigating Newsom for questionable ethics, when Trump has hawked everything from crypto-coins to sneakers from the Oval Office. But the problem Newsom now faces is that behested payments are actually skeevy, and legal or not, they make an excellent target for pummeling the presidential contender. Especially because some of the charities are tied to his wife. "The Newsom case has blown it wide open, but this has been an issue for years," Sean McMorris told me. He's the transparency, ethics and accountability program manager at Common Cause, a nonpartisan organization that has been raising alarms over behested payments for more than a decade. McMorris said that while these payments don't violate any laws, they are "ripe for abuse" because companies and people likely aren't ponying up cash just to be good citizens. If you or I called up PG&E and asked them to give a few million to our favorite cause, I doubt we'd have much luck, even if it involved kittens, puppies or small children in need. The entire system, McMorris points out, "doesn't really work unless you're shaking down people who you know need things from you as a politician."In other words, it's a shakedown. He asks corporations for money for his favored "charities," with the understanding they will either get a favor in return (or that all favors will be refused unless they pay up). A lot of these donations go to his fucking wife's "charity." Which then pays her a salary putting her in the top 5% of all CEOs of "charities" in the country.
Wall Street ApesJennifer Van Der Laar has been covering the Newsom's unquenchable thirst for graft and plunder for years, and has written a "Start Here" introduction to bring everyone up to speed on their decades of daylight robbery of the taxpayers.
@WallStreetApes
🚨 Gavin Newsom's wife was laundering herself so much money from her NGO she was actually in the top 5% for pay from all charities in the entire nation But that's not all, Gavin Newsom "bought his $3.7 million Sacramento estate, it was done through an LLC, but that LLC doesn't seem to have appeared on his tax returns -- There's a lot of questions" "He's released at least partly to journalists in closed-door viewing sessions, his tax returns. And if you look at that, his income, it's about $1.2 to $1.4 million a year. And it just doesn't add up for all of his expenses. He's got massive mortgages, $625,000 in mortgage payments and he's got at least $1 million in living expenses, and the two just don't add up" "When I had a look at Jennifer Newsom's charity, I found that she was paying herself since 2012, $3.7 million. And this is a lot of money when you look at the amount that the charity brings in. It's sort of $1-$1.7 million a year. And she's paying up to a third of that to herself and her own company--$300,000 a year. Now, I did a bit of data analysis looking at what charities that size usually pay their executives, and she was in the top 5% of all charities in the nation for pay" In the video I included more instances where Gavin Newsom laundered money to his wife - $1 million to block a casino project
- $5 million to an office for his wife that he created
- He sent $300,000 from his donor PG&E to his wife's NGO And more, it never ends. They need to go to jail

It's insane that this is tolerated. But this is all the Democrat Party is. The Somali pirates are not an aberration. They are just the plebeian face of mass looting. Democrat elites have been doing this for decades. Related: Gavin Newsom was just humiliated by a bipartisan rejection to spend $20 million to honor California's "living governors," that is, the Democrat ones, including himself, of course.
California Democrats have quietly scrapped Gov. Gavin Newsom's controversial $20 million plan to honor the state's living former governors from the budget -- abandoning a proposal that sparked rare bipartisan backlash and ridicule of the taxpayer-funded vanity project. The so-called "Governors' Legacies" fund was first revealed by The Post as being part of Newsom's May budget revision would have authorized taxpayer funds to be spent on projects recognizing former governors' public service and policy achievements.The Post calls this a "vanity" project. It is not. It was an attempt to steal $20 million from California's taxpayers to pay for disguised political advertising about Newsom's "accomplishments" as governor just as he's running for president. How is this allowed? He needs to be in prison. And his grifter whorebag wife, too. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up.
But the funding request vanished from a tentative budget agreement shaped and approved this week by Democratic legislators.

I'm going to go with: field officers are less political motivated that DC men and found the corruption and started the investigation. Biden's DC men didn't kill it because it could be useful.

They may only be getting 5%-10% of all money that's being looted.
Everyone higher on the chain--the ones who trained the Somalis--is making fat bank off these schemes.
---
That's what I think.
I recall one of the Somalis being confronted by the amounts and he was like, "no, no, no."
He actually may have been telling the truth--maybe he only billed and received $100k.
But up the chain, that was 3, 4, or 500k, listed as reimbursed to him.

I have said on this blog - for years now - that there must be the same type of Sarbannes-Oxley reckoning in the nonprofit industry. The average person thinks that because an organization is nonprofit that means they have no profits at all. Nothing can be further from the truth. Without profits, no organization can grow. There is a lot of money siphoned from these orgs with absolutely no oversight. You can even file a tax return for a nonprofit years late without any penalty whatever. There is so much room for theft it's not funny, and because so many politicians are now using these vehicles there's no incentive to begin to look. Besides this, nonprofits and foundations have far more influence over our lives and budgets than most for-profit corporations have, and they are mostly left-wing. This must end.

This DOJ has shown the willingness to go after people who commit crimes who oppose Trump.
I'd place money on an indictment coming and DOJ pursuing it aggressively. That's the pattern we've seen from Trump 2.0. Once in front of a judge, it'll be open, but, yes, Bolton, noted anti-Trump figure, got indicted in DC and is being forced to pay $2 million by a DC court.

It's common practice for rich people to put assets in LLCs. There are tax advantages, possible loan advantages, no personal liability, and gives organizational flexibility.
But most rich people do it legally, and if you own an interest in an LLC it should be disclosed on your taxes.
It also happens that you sign paperwork for a sale to a special-purpose LLC before it's created. Not usual, but it's not unheard of. I don't think the property deed would be recorded before the LLC was formed.

"And beneath the bluster, Trump’s limited view of the American Revolution is very familiar..."
"... it reflects, like so much else about him, the mainstream culture of the Cold War era, when museums and films did indeed tell a relentlessly upbeat story of American accomplishment — in vivid contrast to the plodding drudgery of communism. The leftist radicals of the 1960s and 1970s dissented noisily from this cosy view, but the majority accepted it unquestioningly. Since then a more extreme view has taken root: those who see the revolution not as the start of an unfinished project but as a fixed source of authority, a 250-year-old set of final answers. But as the US blows out its birthday candles, does it still have the capacity it once had for political renewal, while retaining its founding principles?

Fortunately for Trump's DoJ, Bolton is also hated by all *his* voters. It was an easy, cheap virtue signal for a department in very bad odor for their inaction on so many other fronts that are much more important to those same voters. It clearly didn't move opinion much, but it was worth a shot.

You can tell its BS when the money trail is thousands and not millions or billions of dollars. Of course Trump wants his enemies in jail and his chosen cabinet know they better or its their job.
There needs to be a panel made of both parties and one independent that have to unanimously approve any investigation. If any of the three are against it, there has to be a valid reason. That would help a lot of this noise.
Why is Newsom leading in so many Democratic 2028 polls? There is enough fake evidence the Right can point to to hurt him, it seems destined to fail. He has a great social media team that's brilliant at calling out Trump's BS, but he'd just be another uninspiring centrist candidate that would probably lose.
If "establishment" Democrats were so unpopular they wouldn't be making it past the primaries. We wouldn't have Bernie, the most popular progressive/leftist to run, losing by huge numbers against Clinton and Biden.

I've explained the audience for who bets on these sites and how they end up flipping instantly based on news stories.
The second Kamala announces she's running, she'll shoot up to a favorite because the people betting don't have special information. The market is small and populated by people who simply choose to ignore information they don't like. Like...literally all polling on this race (those things that drive their belief that Platner will beat Collins).
They are worthless for predictions because that's what drive them now. The only use is to take advantage of their myopic views and take money from them.

I have to disagree. Kamala was a dud in the Presidential primaries, and had to be annointed to be the 2024 candidate, because she's such a loser. Sure, the Dems rallied behind her and tried to drag her across the finish line, but their radical wing views her as a moderate, corporate sellout (she was a prosecutor!). If there are other options in a contested primary, she'll lose, and she's not the kind of establishment candidate the party would force people to support to stop a successful radical insurgent (like Biden stopping Bernie in 2024).
It takes a VERY special candidate to lose a general election and STILL be a serious candidate for the next primary, let alone win. Trump is that kind of unique candidate, and Kamala isn't.

Blacks will makeup a clear majority of the Democrat primary electorate in South Carolina. They have grown proportionally as a slice of the Democrat electorate over the past 20 years.

It takes a VERY special candidate to lose a general election and STILL be a serious candidate for the next primary, let alone win. Trump is that kind of unique candidate, and Kamala isn't.

We just don’t have enough examples of failed candidates who ran again to make any kind of serious statistical analysis of the situation. They’re vanishingly rare, and Kamala is going to decide that she’s Trumpian enough, that Trump’s example clears the path for herself. And she walks in with name recognition off the charts (Newsom has similar levels, but he still can’t beat her, so it’s not just name rec in that face off), and the perception that she was robbed by Biden (common enough belief on the left, especially the black left).

I'll bet a large some of money that what happened is this: The LLC that owns the property is owned by another LLC that is then disclosed on the tax return.
LCCs owning LLCs owning LLCs is an old trick to try to hide assets, or making assets hard to trace, or to confuse potential tax audits. It's legal, but easily abused.
It also wouldn't surprise me if the property is ultimately owned not by Newscum personally, but by one of the charities he controls. Another old trick to try to conceal assets.

That observation is the heart of the Democrats mathematical problem. As you say, they’ve grown proportionately as a slice of the Democrats electorate. But they’ve declined as a slice of the general electorate. Which means the Democrat base is becoming more radical, and more overtly racist.

The Black immigrant population more than doubled from 2.4 million in 2000 to 5.6 million. Today, one-in-four Black Americans are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Historically, the Black foreign-born population was predominantly from the Caribbean. Today, African-born immigrants are the fastest-growing group. Between 2000 and 2024, the number of African-born Black immigrants quadrupled, and they now make up 44% of all Black immigrants in the U.S.

MORNING RANT: The Iran Situation and Trump’s MOU – What Constitutes “Finishing the Job” After the Lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan?
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.[buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

I was over there in 87-88 during the tanker wars escorting reflagged kuwati oil tankers through the gulf because iran was throwing a temper tantrum and closed the straits. They have been doing that off and on for almost 50 years and it has to stop or the gulf oil countries need to get their $hit together and build some pipelines to remove the threat of potentially constant closing of the straits by iran.

The funny thing is that almost nothing has actually changed since the signing of the MOU in terms of practicals.
Iran is selling some oil they loaded up 3 months ago, and they have some grain shipments coming from Brazil.
But...it's going to take weeks for any of that to actually materialize (money from the oil sales and the actual grain showing up at Bandar Abbas).
All of their funds are still frozen. The $300 billion investment fund is still just an idea.
And gas prices were falling before the MOU.
I don't think the MOU has anything to do with the midterms, actually.

We had a debate as to whether Iran could be completely defeated via airpower but honestly Trump didn't try and the reason is fascinating and horrifying.
We could level bomb or even use drone strikes on the neighborhoods Iran's elites live in. Yes plenty of them are true believers that don't mind martyrdom but...nowhere near all of them.
But even "right wing genocidal maniac" Trump won't go anywhere near that because...its mean or something.
You can kill thousands of soldiers but the world damns you for targeting enemy leaders. Yes "the world" in this context are people that would kill Trump given a chance and well, us too, but for some reason the right also listens to these people.

Anyone who has been following and listening to Trump for the last decade plus, and that doesn't include leftists, has known how Trump plans to use power and it never included full scale invasions unless we were in a break glass situation.
Trump is all about using power, hard and soft, to produce outcomes that help the American people and when possible spare human life. Unlike most previous presidents that have little relevant private sector experience, Trump has been using soft power his entire life to achieve his goals so military power to him is a 2nd choice not a first and he doesn't rely on the same old DC gang to tell him the only solution is all out war.
People who refuse to see his actions through his lens and still rely on old models assume is flailing because he isn't doing what the old playbook said. Whether you like Trump or not if you don't understand what he is trying to accomplish and equally important how he is trying to accomplish it you will always think he is failing. And he isn't.

From my perspective, arming them for self-defense with weapons and intel. It is a mistake, from my perspective, to let the MOU hinge on Lebanon clusterfuckery, but that is clearly what Iran wants, in its continued belligerence with Israel.
That may be the best we can hope for, for now, while we retain all military options in the region, when (not if) Iran gets out of hand again, re: IAEA inspections, Hormuz shenanigans, etc.
It's not going to be a silver bullet. I suspect it will be a slower normalization of relations with both carrot and stick used as tools to bring around the regime by appealing to self-interest.

I disagree because I think indirectly they reinforce the narrative. Trump will say we won the Iran deal, the Dems and GOPe will say we lost. Lower gas prices will be his proof we won.

Trump in Defeat
By Jonathan Lemire
"President trump lost. The war he waged against Iran promises to conclude in a humbling whimper with the signing of a cease-fire agreement later this week. The United States is left weaker—diminished militarily, strategically, economically, and perhaps morally...
The war has cost trump. It has rattled the nation’s economy. The Pentagon estimated that it had spent roughly $29 billion on the conflict by mid-May, but independent experts believe that it has spent tens of billions more. The U.S. military’s munitions supply has been depleted, putting at risk its ability to defend its interests in Asia and Europe. The United States’ failure, despite its overwhelming military might, to bring Iran to its knees could encourage China, Russia, or North Korea to take aggressive action."

I agree with both statements; the thing is, opening the straits for traffic can be done without "regime change" or a full invasion. Hegseth submitted plans for this 2 months ago, but was never given approval. The strategic islands in the straits need to be taken (small garrisons, not difficult) and all port facilities and radar installations along the straits need to be eliminated, also not a difficult task.
A great mystery is the reason why, in our original series of attacks, we only eliminated a few major targets in the straits, but left so much else unscathed. Such as the surveillance facilities on Qeshm island, we hit a couple every now and then, but the island is still Iran's forward military base in the straits. And it's still fully operational.

It is too late. Your Luncheon still proceeds, but it's all theatre. There is no bacon inside the bread slices. No bacon anywhere. Above you drift dreams old as Quiznos, and Ranch Dressing somewhere far above that would let the teeth of your mouth bite. But it's Pastrami on White Bread with Mayo. You're afraid of the way the soft white bred will soon clump, stuck upon the roof of your mouth. It will be a spectacle: the failure of your lunch. But coming down in a brown paper bag, without one single Fritos Brand Corn Chip, only great invisible saddening hunger.

The barrels of oil they sold were already filled and in tankers. Yes, they've sold some oil, but they also have to worry about restarting their wells before they can do more.
And the cargo? It's minimal. They bought some grain from Brazil, but it's going to take 30+ days to get there.

Money flowing in from the countries means that some of them are buying oil that Iran already had on tankers.
They're allowed to continue some trade.
But, outside of what's on those tankers, Iran is going to have to restart its wells to get more, and they don't trade much else.
These countries are not just giving Iran money, and there are very hard ceilings for what Iran can sell. Their manufacturing was destroyed at least 80% in the bombing.

U.S. officials explicitly state that "not a cent of American money goes to Iran."
The funding for the reconstruction is expected to come from investments by Persian Gulf states or other international entities, while the U.S. will grant the legal waivers to permit the transactions.
BBC, What's in the US-Iran agreement?
In part, "One official noted that the US is not required to pay "a cent of money" to Iran, or contribute to the fund.
As a hypothetical example, the official said that if Iran "behaves", Emirati authorities could build a power plant in Iran, with US blessing.
Trump and other officials have gone to great lengths to make clear to the US public that it will not be paying Iran directly, which the administration says stands in stark contrast to the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and the Obama administration."

No, I simply asked you a question. You said Trump had no problem with Obama's JCPOA. Trump ended that deal his first term to much criticism from the usual spots. It was in all the papers.
Go back and look at old interviews with Trump from decades before he became president. He's been saying for decades that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and Obama's deal did nothing to stop them from enriching. In fact, the sunset clause in the deal wouldve ended it by now.
The JCPOA was dogshit. It stopped nothing. The money was because Obama wanted to make Iran the center of power in the ME.

Based on their history, and their obvious understanding of the US political environment, I'd expect them to clearly, publicly violate the MOU, treaty or negotiations in some way shortly before the midterms. Trump can do nothing substantial and look weak, hurting him and the GOP. He can bomb Iran again, spiking gas prices right before the midterms (and giving anti-interventionists more ammunition). Or they could offer Trump a political win with an actual peace deal, but demand very favorable terms. In many ways, I think Iran is relatively well situated, especially for a country that recently had its military smashed pretty badly, economy wrecked, and multiple top leaders killed.

It depends on just how much of a true believer each is, and how much they fear the US versus their own underlings.
A successful change of leader from our perspective isn't going to be someone that goes from "Death to America" to "Buy a coke for everyone in America" but instead a leader that keeps saying Death to America but doesn't actually do anything about it...

Yep. And there is very likely similar efforts with assets in Iran to target recalcitrant IRGC leaders that are pitted against any elements that are MOU-favorable that we have been dealing with.
But to give credit to Trump/Hegseth and our Israeli allies for such consideration is probably just 4D chess mumbo jumbo or something.

ACA Marketplace (Obamacare) enrollment figures by year:
2026: 23.0 million
2025: 24.3 million (Record high)
...
2014: 6.3 million
I thought it leaked out that the reason enrollment is so high is because they got illegals and refugees onto Obamacare? Something that was promised at the outset they would never, ever do?
There were rumbles on that, then nothing. Are they going to finally cut them all off? We have to stop these stupid money spigots from flowing.
Also, apparently there is new proof that money for Ukraine flowed directly into Biden reelection coffers. Not holding my breath he'll ever see justice for it or get arrested.

But they are a foreign country, not all of their interests, which they are in their right to pursue, align with the US.

Several states operating their own marketplaces (such as California, Colorado, New Jersey, and New Mexico) have stepped in with state-funded premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions.
States like North Carolina and South Dakota expanded their Medicaid programs under the ACA. This policy change continues to transition hundreds of thousands of low-income adults into newly available, highly subsidized health coverage.
Certain states have enacted rules to shield consumers from gaps in coverage.

This could have worked, and this is what bothers me about the claim that Kurdish arms dealers ran off with the weapons. I do not want to believe this is true, that it's just a psy-op to cover up something else - because if it IS true, it means that our plan to overthrow the Iranian Government was:
1) give some unnamed shady middle eastern arms dealers a bunch of weapons with no money down
2) hope that everything just works out.
3) if it doesn't work out, go with Plan B.
4) there is no plan B.

Ukraine also claimed a drone kill first... using one with AI to hunt, and kill... a specific person. If reports about that incident are true.
We're lagging. Focusing on "big ticket" UAV's that can fly with fighter jets or bombers. We ought to be churning out millions of "toy" sized drones with AI and several ounces of C4 that can swarm enemy troops in the open.
Or people we don't like.

When they attempted it during Obama administration and he did nothing to help ,the Right and commenters here let him have it. Prior to our operation there was a lot of hope it could happen again. And once we started there was more hope. Instead we stopped after only 39 days and allowed the IRG to regroup and massacre everyone they thought might be part of the opposition. Sorry but that doesn't sit well with me .

Except that no one thinks that he's just in it to oversee a transition. Nearly 50 years of "The Shah was de debil! SAVAK was the horde of Satan!" propaganda is tough to overcome, even if he's on the level about volunteering to be a transitional figure.

As what we assume are accurate summaries of the MOU began to emerge, a brilliant friend told me he was looking forward to to reading my view.
I said, “If Iran is a very good boy, it gets a pony. I do not believe the IRGC knows how to be a very good boy for long, and everyone reading the MOU is furious about the idea that it might get the pony anyway.”

Any location that fires on us gets flattened. Keep doing this until they're launching rubber rafts full of dynamite. Sink those.
The key is to get the lily-livered insurance and shipping companies out of the picture somehow.
- After Iran commences hostilies, restart the blockade. If ships have any sense, they won't come back to the Gulf anyway after they escape.
- Let Israel be Israel. They do a damn good job of blasting our enemies for us.
- Wouldn't hurt to maybe knock off another layer of leaders.

Iran and Israel are proxies for Western nations used to control risk management which feeds The City of London which created our Fed. Trump is building a parallel system with Sovereign countries rather than globalism. This is just a step.

Having said that, this painting is effective. The girls is indistinct but recognizable. The colors are soft and reflect the look of moon light which is echoed in her night gown. all the elements combine to create a gentle, not necessarily peaceful, mood.

Starmer said he would remain caretaker prime minister until Labour members choose a new leader in the coming weeks.
"I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the summer recess. In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September. I will remain in post as prime minister until the contest is complete. And I will do everything I can to ensure an orderly handover of power," he said.

Between 2010 and 2024 Conservatives ran the UK uninterrupted. Cameron, Boris and May could have shut down immigration but chose to not only keep Blair’s policies but accelerated them.
So while Kier is a wanker of the first order, blaming him for the UK’s deterioration is somewhat unfair. The damage was done long before he got there.

He is going to be full speed to the Left, with maybe a coat of paint to try and fool people but I doubt even that.
The "meme" (approved lefty talking point) for the last two months in Britain is that The People were upset, not about Starmer and Labour being too left, but about not being Left enough fast enough and hard enough. The UK leftards are saying the people rejected Labour because they want "change". Basically Keir was too conservative.

There is some truth in what you say, but he maintained extremely high levels of illegal immigration long after it was made very clear that the British people wanted it stopped. That is his real sin, along with the absolutely lunatic insistence on trying to prevent people from seeing or talking about the damage long after it was blindingly obvious.

Edvard Munch painted "The Girl by the Window" in 1893, the same year as his most famous work, "The Scream."
In the dead of night, a young girl in her nightgown stands in a darkened room gazing out at the city. Somber tones mingle with violets and blues, evoking a feeling of melancholy. The sense of mystery is deepened by the fact that we cannot see the expression on the girl’s face, nor do we know what she secretly observes.
See "The Girl by the Window" by Edvard Munch in Gallery 245.
It's famous, it's ok (nice calm colors), and I might hang a reproduction in a young girl's room if I were so decorating sometime back.
Thank you.

The Morning Report — 6/ 22 /26
Sir Keir Starmer choked up as he announced his resignation as UK Prime Minister Monday – less than 2 years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win.
Starmer, 63, set out a timetable to stand down after coming under mounting pressure following last month’s local elections, where the governing Labour Party lost over 1,000 seats. The Prime Minister announced his intention to step down after admitting the Labour Party was questioning whether he could lead it into the next general election, which must be held before July 2029, just 23 months after leading his party to a landslide win. “I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace,” Starmer said outside 10 Downing Street in London. Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.”
While I'm no expert, to say the least, on British politics but no doubt that one of the things that has led to Starmer's departure is the growing scandal of the Muslim rape crisis that has come to light especially over the last year or so. But shockingly Muslim men have been raping non-Muslim women and girls for decades!
This is something that’s also totally missed by the report’s focus on Islam as the main driving force behind the grooming: Pakistani Muslim men raping white British girls because they aren’t Muslim. In many cases, the Muslim identity of the men appears to be incidental to the grooming, and the kinship networks like the Kashmiri birādarī system that structure it predate conversion to Islam by centuries. Yes, some groomers do refer to the girls as kuffār—non-believers—and the justification is that of the wretched Quran verse “What the right hand possesses,” which says Muslim men can take sex slaves from among kuffār women, but it seems to be kinship, rather than religion, that gives these crimes their systematic and persistent character. Ultimately, though, this remains to be explored properly.Rape is not a one-off crime committed here and there but it is a documented tool of warfare used by Muslims to conquer and subjugate nations and people once Islam becomes a dominant force politically and/or demographically aided and abetted by a cowed and submissive indigenous populace that refuses to defend itself from invasion and conquest, and as is the case of Britain and much of western Europe brought it willingly upon themselves for myriad cultural and historic reasons.
While Starmer is gone, is there really a chance that the English people will recognize the mortal danger they placed themselves in by allowing the socialists to rule essentially unchecked since the end of the Second World War, Churchill's sunset years and Maggie Thatcher notwithstanding. The uprising in Belfast over the attempted public beheading of a man in broad daylight certainly gives one hope that people are indeed waking up at long last. Still, I'm hesitant to predict a sea change over there, knowing full well that despite being mugged by reality, Leftists/Democrats will lather rinse and repeat and continue to vote for their own destruction. Of course the societal and political pressure imposed by the globalist/political media cultural complex to bend the knee and surrender cannot be underestimated either. And in the UK there is now an official censorship regime where one can be hauled off and prosecuted for uttering anything critical against Islam, let alone even silently praying in front of an abortion mill. And elsewhere the beat goes on with the Iran negotiations. Some are hailing Trump and Vance as brilliant masters of 11-dimension chess. . .
Regardless of the naysayers, neoconservatives, and progressive leftist shills using social and mainstream media to portray America as weak for the thousandth time, President Trump's Iran deal and the communication of the deal by Vice President JD Vance has been a masterclass in geopolitics and media dexterity. President Trump's preliminary MOU with Iran took pressure, pragmatism, forceful language, and a militaristic strategy to secure, but it was all worth it. The priority of using peace through strength, the ever-powerful Trumpist foreign policy mantra, proved yet again that President Trump is the best negotiator in modern American or world politics. Using bombs to force conversation is certainly an option, but it ended up being the best solution for all sides of the war in Iran. While Obama's Iran deal funded radical Islamic terrorism and the spreading of Sharia Law throughout the globe, Trump's deal utilized tariffs, bombs, and blockades to bring Iran up the ramp and into 12 rounds with the 45th and 47th President of the United States.. . . Sounds great, but others are claiming they've both been taken to the cleaners.
Trump Coulda Been a Contender -- The destruction of a legacy. . . It’s one of the most justly celebrated moments in cinematic history. In Elia Kazan’s classic movie On the Waterfront (1954), the failed boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), who was forced to take a dive during the bout that could have established him as a possible challenger for the championship belt, says to his brother, who was in on the fix: “I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.” I was going to make the subtitle to this article “Instead of a bum which is what he is,” but it was just too painful. Trump isn’t a bum, and maybe, just maybe, he will eventually right the ship and get on with the business of making America great again. But showering billions on a regime whose leaders routinely scream “Death to America,” and pretending that the evil men who now control that regime are rational people with whom America can do business — that’s the behavior of one of the America-Lasters who has governed this unhappy land in recent decades, not that of the visionary who promised to take on and defeat those who were selling out our interests.A number of good essays in the links that illustrate both sides of the argument. So, as the President himself is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Have a good day,

spent the entire weekend acting like a sad little monkey on a chain, dancing furiously while a laughing Iranian organ grinder played a crazy tune.
Money is already, today, flowing in to Iran from China, Russia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Turkey. The plan to put Iran under economic pressure has collapsed completely.
This is no plan. This is complete and total failure.

The UK is gone, it doesn’t matter who is PM. Even Nigel Farage couldn’t fix it; certainly none of their political class can… they’re all clones. This Burnham guy is another Starmer, perhaps less wooden. No Thatcher out there to save the day… kinda sad but their voters have been digging this hole for decades. The numb skulls threw out Churchill after WWII and it’s been generally downhill since with only the respite from Thatcher applying some brakes on the downhill

“Don't they think to themselves that, if their threats had worked, they wouldn't have reached the desperation they face today? We don't take the Americans' threats into account.
They'd better watch their statements; our armed forces are ready to respond in another way. No matter how much they talk, it's we who take action.”
Iran is openly declaring that they are going to do any damn thing they want to, and that Trump won’t have the nerve to do anything about it. Money is already flowing in; arms are flowing in; supplies are flowing in. And oil is flowing out, all restrictions dropped already.

Sir Keir Starmer choked up as he announced his resignation as UK Prime Minister Monday – less than 2 years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win.
They didn't exactly "storm to a landslide". Their share of votes cast was scarcely different than 2019. They won more seats because Reform took what were usually Tory votes.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on 11 June that General Joshua Rudd, who leads both the NSA and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, told him directly that Anthropic’s Mythos model ‘broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.’ The extent of the alleged breach and which specific systems were affected have not been publicly disclosed. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.
The warning emerged alongside an abrupt move by the Trump administration to block foreign access to Anthropic’s two most advanced models, Mythos and Fable.

The biggest problem with this deal is not the deal, it is the dealer. Trump’s word is worthless. He could offer 1 trillion dollars and everyone gets a free Tesla. Whatever he signs is just going to get torn up when his feelings change.
Republicans know they're cooked the moment he croaks. Keeping the cult he fostered is going to be difficult without their god emperor at the helm

Carl Benjamin was making the same point. He viewed the results as generally good for Restrore, bad for Reform, and while temporarily good for Labour, the reason Labour is unpopular because their fundamental beliefs and solutions to problems don't work. You can change the figurehead all you want, but until you change the core values and solutions, they're destined to fail.

In international politics, perception IS reality. Iran isn’t just talking like they won, they are acting like they won. Pictures circulating of thousands of posters put up in Tehran this weekend, offering $1000 (American) to any man who will volunteer to go to Lebanon and fight for Hezbollah. To be paid for with the money pouring in today.
Iran views the talk about blowing power plants as a giant bluff that Trump doesn’t have the nerve to carry out. They’ve called the bluff.
If there’s to be any hope of salvaging the situation, the US needs to order a massive wave of strikes right now. Sadly, all we see is Vance in Switzerland agreeing that Israel is committing genocide in Lebanon, just to make the Iranians happy.

If there’s to be any hope of salvaging the situation, the US needs to order a massive wave of strikes right now. Sadly, all we see is Vance in Switzerland agreeing that Israel is committing genocide in Lebanon, just to make the Iranians happy.

Yes, because the Iranians pulled one over on the stupid poopyhead and we're all just slaves to the Iranian regime.

What indoctrination in the public schools preceded the rest of the leftist type, and the woke stuff, and ...
Why, that which denied evening, morning, number, day. Evening, morning, number, day...
And we are only going to show you the #science that "proves" this to be wrong.
And you will be so sure of the "knowledge" you have gained that you won't even take the time to look at any discoveries that go against #the science.

This is completely and totally predictable. Revelations from former career Pfizer executive is that drugs that quickly heal are dropped in favor of drugs that provide lifelong subscriptions. Cash flow, increasing quarterly returns.
There is also EMTALA and 100M+ foreigners and natives who lead lifestyles that require chronic care offering no means to pay.
The cultural expectations of Health Care Rights drive continued insurance as part of compensation.
There is no profit motive to make care more efficient for as long as a third party is paying. The only motive is to pump up margins and AI fits right in there.

I thought we blew up their nuke capabilities last June. How many times can the same thing be blown up before it’s actually blown up?
Maybe we delayed it some, who knows. Nobody really does. We didn’t end it, that’s for sure.They will be back to doing what right we’re doing the second the ink is dry on the “peace deal”.
And regime change isn’t something WE said. He said it repeatedly. Remember his tweets to the Iranian people that he has their back? Don rewrite history man.

True, but President Trump has not helped his case. He has not spoken to the American people and explained what he is doing and why he is doing it.
That leads to the chaotic analysis and a sort of fill-in-the-blank foreign policy, and that is a problem.

Started happening after Columbine and really accelerated after that school shooting in Florida in 2017 (IIRC… the one where David Hogg heroically survived)…. At this point most schools are like fortresses. I went back to my old HS a few years ago in a tiny midwestern town and to my astonishment I couldn’t walk inside… had to be buzzed in by the main office. Security measures doncha know… I mean that tiny town is never gonna have a school shooting but it’s follow the leader amongst the edu-ma-cation class…

We've had a lot of presidents who specialize in talking to the public and we ended up with mullahs in Iran threatening nuclear armaggedon and funding terrorists for 50 years. Now we have a president who is a businessman who likes to make deals. Most effective deals are not negotiated in public.

I would not call it humiliating, that's ludicrous. He tried shit, and might still be trying, no way we know the full story. Trump does and says things that look bad all the time and usually but not always, gets vindicated. Still trust him at the helm more than anyone and I don't think there is *anyone* that would have taken this Iran thing further than he will or would, if at all.

Trump is always willing to play a long game. He is also always willing to sacrifice things that others would not to achieve his goals. This is gamesmanship and basic strategy, not 27D Space Chess.
When you are up against someone whose rules you can't quite make out it makes them formidable. The "rules" should have been don't risk Iran before the midterms. The "rules" should have been don't risk looking weak.
There are a lot of rules and *no one*, despite the many many experts on the subject, knows what Trump's really are. We can all guess but that's all we and his/our opponents are left doing. It *seems* he wants peace at any price and to not directly endanger civilians. Seems. But I wouldn't bet on it.

That is true. The GCC is pretty much in lockstep against Iran right now and they don't appear to be wavering. If we are going to judge how things are going by their attitudes it's looking pretty good for the Orange Man.
For the umpteenth time, Trump is attempting to end this situation with a positive outcome with a deal not with bombs. It looks different because it is different. Iraq and Libya are examples of wars that ended with bombs and bullets, how did that turn out?
Deals require patience not constant freakouts over moves we may or not completely understand because they are not negotiating in public. I've seen nothing from Trump over the last decade to make me think he's gone soft.

“ On Sunday, Trump told Fox News he was "disappointed Israel can't put Hezbollah away", adding in reference to the fight against the militant group: "I'm close to giving it over to Syria."
6 hours later, our new ally Syrian President Al Sharra replied, on the record, that “No one from Syria is going into Lebanon. No one from Syria is going to fight Hezbollah.”

There is a soft "Trump can't do wrong" crowd and a "We should be able to criticize Trump" contingent and then a "here's our chance to GIT em" noise machine that is very annoying. Maybe not all here this morning.
But everyone wants to judge everything. Bottom line, R's will take the midterms unless they are cheated out of it, and they 100% do NOT deserve to take it. Not because of Trump but because they are useless and HATE their own voters.
That's a bigger problem than Iran right now. Much.

From above, The destruction of a legacy. Trump Coulda Been a Contender
We know the left heavily favor's Barack Obama's 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), so that's that.
Only 5 months after Trump took office in his first administration, the Qatar diplomatic crisis & blockade began. Blockading nations accused Qatar of supporting terrorism, maintaining close ties with Iran, and using its state-funded media network, Al Jazeera, to destabilize the region. Qatar denied all allegations.
The coalition issued a list of 13 broad demands for Qatar to lift the blockade. Qatar refused, calling the demands an assault on its sovereignty.
In 2020, Kushner served as a primary U.S. mediator.
The Abraham Accords, a normalization agreement between Israel and several Arab nations, including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, was brokered by the United States.
Further, the Qatar blockade officially ended in January 2021 with the signing of the Al-Ula Declaration, which restored full diplomatic and trade relations just weeks before Trump left office.

Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, started an illegal and foolish war, and then signed a much less effective agreement. So much for ‘the art of the deal.’
Kaine, a democratic loyalist and key ally to both the Obama and Biden administrations; selected as VP running mate for Hillary Clinton, and all in on Biden's economic and climate policies. He damn near hates the MOU and everyone involved in the current administration.

👉The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has held its annual grand gathering and political events in France for over 20 years, traditionally hosting the massive summits since 2004.
French police just banned & dispensed a massive planned rally by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Paris on June 20th, citing fears of clashes and a tense international context. Authorities also arrested approximately 20 demonstrators who defied the ban, with organizers reporting 12 injuries as police used pepper spray to break up the gathering.

I still think that behind the scenes, they hit him with the really nasty blackmail video or pictures that were taken and set aside for just such a day and said to him, "You can resign, or you can resign in utter disgrace, your choice."
Guys like him and Justin Trudeau are way too narcissistic to resign "for the good of the party". In their own eyes, they did, and can do no wrong, but their weakness is that they don't want to be a pariah, despised by everyone in public for the rest of their lives. They'll do anything to salvage their image in the eyes of the public, especially if they've got a soft landing set up such as a "consulting" job that leverages their political career up to that point.

Especially now. If they were halfway pragmatic, they would look at AB and say "get all the oil out of the ground, we have to pay for lots and lots of social spending." But they are not pragmatic. They are very much Maoist in their outlook. PM Carney is right and if you disagree you are just an evil capitalist roader.
This view is bankrupting Canada and the government's view that if Canada is destroyed as a consequence of their decisions, so be it.
Posted by: Cow Demon at June 22, 2026 06:23 AM (T6aVk)
Okay, get some of the original style with the metal trip pedal. I've never had trouble setting those, there's a notch that's easy to see where the trip-arm sets into.
1. Bait the metal trip pedal with peanut butter. Put a nice glob of the peanut butter onto the metal loop and work it inside the loop too if you can.
2. Move the spring 180 degrees to the other side, holding it down on the wood with your thumb.
3. Swing the trip arm up and over the spring.
4. End of the trip arm fits into the notch on the metal trip pedal.
5. GENTLY remove pressure with your thumb so the trip arm locks into the notch on the metal trip pedal.
6. Hold the trap between thumb and index finger on the side that the spring arm is on when ARMED. If it lets go, this way it won't snap you. :-)
7. GENTLY place it down along side of where the wall and the floor meet, long side against wall.
8. Check every 12 hours, or wait for the *SNAP!* :-)

Posted by: NR Pax at June 22, 2026 06:28 AM (RjOoY)
I've had cases where the trap has been tripped or the bait has been eaten without tripping the trap multiple times. Do not lose patience, just keep baiting the trap, it'll work.
Small mice can lick the bait completely out of the trip trigger, but a bigger fatter mouse (more importantly a mouse that has been fed well from your peanut butter and is used to an easy meal) will make a mistake and will get killed.
Mice can not resist peanut butter. They will return time after time for the easy meal.
Best way to load the trap to avoid contaminating your peanut butter jar:
a) Load the tip of a knife with peanut butter.
b) Transfer PB to fresh NEW toothpick.
c) Use toothpick to load trigger on trap (while disarmed.)
d) Throw toothpick away.
e) If loading another trap, repeat from (a) or (b).
We had one year where we killed over 20 mice. It was nuts. You couldn't even find traps in the store, apparently the mouse population had exploded that year and everyone was having problems. Always, ALWAYS keep 6 to 12 extra new traps on your shelf, ready to go. Get a "value pack".
Next year we caught maybe 1 or 2 all year.

A platform with a 360 degree laser trigger that sets off high explosives when tripped from 10 ft or closer. The liability questions here are a bit problematic but probably could be a handled by safety stickers similar to what is used for airbags.

They didn’t need to. A popular Labour Party member, Burnham, won a by election to get a seat in Parliament, and beat Reform pretty easily. Reportedly all of Starmers cabinet ministers told Starmer he had this week to get out or they would lead the vote to throw him out. Burnham will be his replacement.

During the campaign, he flatly stated that he's looking for immigration reform, not any mass deportations, and that he wants his coalition to build Muslim support, not alienate them.
Perhaps someone else will rise up and demand a Britain for the British, but it won't be Farage.
I expect Reform's approach to deportations will be less aggressive than Trump's, not more.
He was good on Brexit, but he's not exactly strong on immigration - his Party is succeeding by offering the less blatantly insane approach to the problem.
If they (or us, for that matter) want to "turn things around," a whole lot of people have to be sent packing, and nobody yet seems to have the political will for this kind of dramatic reversal of globalist policy orthodoxy.

Yes - he wanted to calm people's fears that Reform would send Precious Foreigners packing.
He may have succeeded at that, but it also tells me he's not serious about reversing any damage, just slowing it down.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on 11 June that General Joshua Rudd, who leads both the NSA and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, told him directly that Anthropic’s Mythos model ‘broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.’ The extent of the alleged breach and which specific systems were affected have not been publicly disclosed. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.
The warning emerged alongside an abrupt move by the Trump administration to block foreign access to Anthropic’s two most advanced models, Mythos and Fable.

Mike wore an E. Marinella pink classic silk tie in the Small Flower pattern.
The Duke of Edinburgh once again delivered in his signature “Racing Colours and Saddles on Pastel Ground” tie by Soprano, a piece he has worn every year for the last 12 years.
Among the dresses, two stood out: Princess Catherine’s rewear of a gorgeous marigold Roksanda Brigitte dress (not everyone could pull that one off) and Zara Tindall’s utterly charming bespoke Claire Mischevani Poppy Dress in Polka Dot.
Alongside the bright yellow dress, Princess Catherine wore a Jane Taylor London Pomona hat, Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Chandelier Earrings, and a Nigel Milne Birthright Three-Strand Pearl Bracelet. She carried an Anya Hindmarch Maud Pearl-Embellished Clutch Bag in Ivory and finished the look with Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 105 Pumps in Bisque Suede.
Zara Tindall paired her polka-dot dress with a bespoke Sally Ann Hats Ariel Hat (retail version shown), Hector Lion Cassis Collection Croissant Earrings, and a Mulberry Amberley Clutch in Black Small Classic Grain leather. Her shoes were the Emmy Rebecca Pump in Jet Black Suede.
Then Henry Cavill arrived with his… um, watch, and the internet promptly lost the ability to behave. The watch itself was spectacular: a 1926 Longines Monopusher Chronograph. But honestly, the video says it all In the end, Royal Ascot proved once again that while the hats are huge, the horses are fast, and the royalty is royal, nothing, and I mean nothing, can compete with a 6’1 superhero in morning dress casually flexing a vintage chronograph on his wrist. 😉 ----- Thanks, Piper!

Joy Reid: “Nobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July."
“It is the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire."
Reid was considered a 'mainstream media’ personality for years.

The doctor told my 96-year-old great-grandfather that he had to "quit all high-adrenaline activities" because of his blood pressure. I found him in the driveway, trying to jump his mobility scooter over a row of flaming trash cans.
He shouted over the engine, "The doctor said no adrenaline, but my heart is so old it needs a jump-start! I'm just 'defibrillating' my soul. Now, move the cat, I need a longer runway!"

I never wanted to become someone like him
So secure!
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him

Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time

That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
.....to be someone just like him.

Due to my own shortcomings, and a moment of madness 6 years ago, I've been estranged from my two sons (41 and 36).
I have tried my best over the past 6 years to reach out to them, to apologize, and ask their forgiveness.
All to no avail.
I would like to ask the Horde to pray for their hearts to open, to allow me to properly apologize, and and to try be the father I should have been.
This year has been especially hard not being able to be part of their lives, and ... well it just hurts.
They're losing their mother to early onset Alzheimers, and I need them to know I'm a better person today, than I was then, that I can be counted on.

There was a famous audio file on the net a few years ago, of a heated argument between Johnny Depp and his financial manager. (Who I think is the one who released it)
In it Depp accuses the manager of squandering his money and leaving him broke, even though he’d made $100 million in the previous year. The manager fires back, with figures and specific things Depp had done, and said “Johnny, you can’t spend $20 million a month and expect to have anything left, no matter how much you start with!”

Cool buildings, but most of them leaked,
Same with Crank Lloyd Wrong... a building that doesn't keep the rain out is a failure, no matter how much the art critics might like it.
Architecture is very demanding... needs to be esthetic, functional, and economical.

Some poor bastid & his wife bought Marilyn Monroe's home in L.A. where she died. They were like the 18th owners since MM died in '62. the house had had undergone multiple re-designs.
Nonetheless, the L.A. city council, famed in song & story, recently passed a new law designating the house as a City Cultural Heritage Treasure (or some such).
So... the new, current owner can't remodel it , OR sell it, without Mayor Bass' approval! It's turned into a nightmare. Plus, the new owner is solely responsible for security, which costs a fortune, due to the sightseers.

Next, the roof drains invariably get clogged with wind-borne trash. Ever see a roof drain filled with Styrofoam packing peanuts? I have.
Lastly, when snow melts, it doesn't do so evenly. Water will start running in places you would never imagine.
Like that poor little baby child in the ghetto that Elvis sang about, a flat roof will invariably come to a bad end.

We are safe after a night of tornadoes dropping everywhere around us. A small village about 9 miles north of us had two people killed in their mobile homes. Our own little city did have a tornado on the north side of town, but I haven't heard anything much about that one yet.
I hope everyone is ok as well, these storms are causing havoc as they move southeast.

Sometimes a Great Song is just a Great Song. It, of course resonates with people in the situation that the song is about but it even resonates with those with great relationship with our parents. My parents are still on this side of eternity and I always cherish my moments with them. They stagger along, being in there 80s, but are doing ok otherwise. The song is beautiful.

I have discovered/decided not to be concerned. If it's not necessary to be on a timetable it doesn't matter. Sleep when it comes. Gerald Ford slept four hours a night and took naps in the mid day.

I used them outdoors too-- 4 of them-- would empty and re-bait them in the morning before work. Then empty and re-bait them after work. And again empty and re-bait before going to bed. A dozen mice *each day* caught with raw, in-shell sunflower seeds. Those traps last a long time and don't need to be trashed after single use!
Traps were placed 2 under deck stairs, 1 in corner between outbuilding & retaining wall, and 1 next to house under shrubbery. Score, 3 times a day EACH, for couple of weeks. Probably could've caught more, but *catches* slowed afterward. Don't know if they got smart or eradicated for a while...
Posted by: JQ at June 22, 2026 04:23 AM (rdVOm)

I set them out at sunset, and when getting ready for work the next morning...lo and behold, one or two of the little bastards are on the glue traps, struggling and shitting everywhere trying to get out.

But first, find out where they're getting in. I had cleaned out an infestation in the studio where I hadn't seen a mouse in 6 months and then, wham! I find a box of cereal in the pantry cabinet where there's a hole chewed into the back of the box. Input out the traps and caught three over the b next two weeks, but I still found those little mouse turds here and there. A week goes by with 4 traps set along the wall, under the sink, behind a set of shelves. Nothing. I finally set a sticky board along the wall near the door and tied it to the stove leg with a piece of wire. Got 'im!
I found that they had found their way up the outside wall - the little buggers can climb rough surfaces easily - into a small space under the eaves, through the attic, then down the space where the built in oven used to be. I stuffed that with rockwool insulation then blocked it off with a couple of pieces of plywood. I also plugged the space under the eaves with steel wool and a screen.
