A man who was gravely injured in the Butler Assassination attack has just died, two years after his wounding.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Copenhaver, who was gravely wounded in the horrific shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania," House Republicans posted on X. "Jim endured unimaginable hardship with strength and perseverance. "We join his family and loved ones in mourning his loss and praying for them during this difficult time," the post continued. "May he rest in peace." Copenhaver, who was 76-years-old at the time of his death, was shot in the triceps. Another bullet was lodged in his body after it took chunks of his colon, leaving him with nerve damage, according to CBS News.The so-called "Reality Based Community" continues to hint or flat-out assert that this assassination was fake. The feds have arrested an illegal alien for voting in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. I assume he's innocent, because the communist media tells me this never happens.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a legal immigrant in New Jersey last week for allegedly voting in multiple federal elections, including the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, Breitbart News has learned.
Sanata Coulibaly, a legal immigrant from Senegal, was arrested on September 17 and charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien. According to prosecutors, Coulibaly first entered the United States in September 1993 and was given a green card by the Obama administration in November 2009. In 2018, 2020, and 2024, Coulibaly allegedly voted illegally in each of the elections. "This alien from Senegal has been charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien after allegedly voting in three general elections in New Jersey," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

@peterjhasson 18h I'm just gonna put it out there: Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench for the national anthem--not kneeling, sitting on the bench, away from his teammates--at the exact time his teammates hated him (a recently demoted backup QB) for dating his teammate's (Aldon Smith's) ex-girlfriend. It was only after one reporter asked--after his third straight game sitting by himself on the bench during the anthem --why he was doing that, that he came up with the answer about taking a stand against America's "racism." That transformed him overnight from a spiraling backup QB whose teammates hated him to a left-wing icon. This is all true you can look it up.
MSNOW president says her propaganda outlet has a "broad range of views" because they pay former Republican Michael Steele to attack conservatives with every breath. If you're an actual citizen, you're a second-class citizen:
Tim AndersonIt's racist to question Hasan Piker's pro-terrorism, pro-murder, pro-"blood in the streets" calls to violence. Or, of course, to ask his wingman Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed about it.
@AssocAnderson Arlington's Commonwealth's Attorney testified that her office has a DUI policy specifically for DACA recipients. In a small number of cases, prosecutors have considered changing a DUI to a different first-degree misdemeanor so the defendant can renew DACA status. (We don't have first-degree misdemeanors - they are called Class 1 misdemeanors - surprised an elected prosecutor doesn't know that). She says the defendant is still held accountable and the original DUI charge remains visible. But DACA status is a factor in the plea resolution, one that an American citizen charged with the same offense cannot invoke. Should immigration status affect which crime appears on a defendant's record? Source: Dehghani-Tafti deposition, p. 89, lines 6--22.

Pennsylvania Democrat state Sen. James Malone has written lesbian fan fiction set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) universe, according to documentation provided to Breitbart News. Malone was elected in a special election in 2025 after serving as Mayor of East Petersburg since 2017. Malone won by approximately 500 votes in the district despite President Donald Trump winning by 15 points in the 2024 general election. ... Since at least October 2023, Malone has been writing and publishing on Tumblr a sexually charged lesbian romance story set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons. He has since deleted the account once Breitbart News began investigating. In October 2023, Malone posted a "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk sleeping together.Brylint work cuddled up in Zamkk's arms, content and warm. After their time at the Tavern, they had a bath and more, working out there tenuous partnership. *This will work out well, for now.*, Brylint thought to herself. With the light filtering in from the window, she could see her surroundings with clarity. The relatively large area of the room was taken up by the pillows she and her red haired companion were cuddled in.... As she rose, Zamkk grabbed her arm. "It's early.", she said groggily. "I must use the chamber pot and perform my devotions.", Brylint said not unkindly. Zamkk nodded, gently rubbed Brylint's arm then settled back to snoozing. Brylint did her business and cleaned up. She performed her rituals of devotion and stretched a bit.
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk experiencing "no small amount of arousal" from "a firm wack on the rear."... Brylint smirked briefly under her hood, "Perhaps, I will need more lessons."That gained her a firm wack on the rear which evoked a hiss and no small amount of arousal. "Do you understand.", Zamkk asked in Ghukliak. "I will listen and learn." ...In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk "nibbling" each other's ears. ... In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk engaged in "a rather exuberant session" of "intimate time."
... Shapiro harbors presidential ambitions in 2028 after being considered to run with Kamala Harris in 2024. He also received backing from Democrat National Committee Chairman Ken Martin and socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Malone also stated his disappointment with a "Drag Queen Story Hour" event's cancellation in 2024, stating, "It is sad that this event got negative presentation on it," he said. "This kind of come-if-you-want event can provide kids with a broader experience of life in general." The event was set to take place at a public library in Lancaster County for an all-ages audience.

New York Times Reveals that Democrat Senate Candidate Mary Peltola Abuses Staff, Cursing Them and Calling them "F*ggots"
LOL. She explodes at her staffers and calls them "faggots" and "retards" and calls Planned Parentood harpies "BITCHES."
Points for honesty, but that's forbidden by Mao's Little Red Book of Speechcrimes.
So she's admitting it, with the excuse Muh Hormones and Feelings.
Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola was the subject of a devastating New York Times profile on Wednesday, September 23 which described a pattern of angry outbursts, physical abuse, and slurs for years while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. Peltola is now running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in November in a contest polling shows continues to be close. According to the explosive story, former aides describe "angry and profane outbursts." In one instance she is said to have shoved an aide according to a former staffer who was present and two others who were told about it at the time. Additionally, four former staff members said they directly heard her use the word "faggot" over the years, even about her own staff members, which her campaign has denied. She also used the word "retarded," according to former aides and text messages viewed by the newspaper.
The report talked to a total of nine former staffers who were granted anonymity. Her office amassed one of the highest turnover rates in Congress during her term, and she has missed hundreds of votes throughout her time in elected office. The campaign issued a statement in response to the story, attributing her behavior to personal tragedy. Peltola's mother and husband died in 2023...
Susan Collins' opponent in the Maine Senate race, Troy Jackson, also has a history of abusing staffers. And banging his second cousin. A new poll says she's up three.
The report states Peltola shoved a male staffer in her office over a missing meeting memo, "causing him to stumble backward, according to a person who was there and two others who heard about the incident soon after, as well as text messages sent at the time." The unnamed aide departed the office soon after.
In another instance, Peltola wrote, "FUCK THOSE BITCHES" about Planned Parenthood after her vote on a defense bill. "I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don't win it's more their loss than ours," she added. She also wrote in a text referring to a woman serving on the board of a local Planned Parenthood chapter, "I hope she dies of a botched abortion." The pro-abortion organization has not endorsed her 2026 campaign. Peltola additionally texted, "Fuck that retard" after a selfie photo was posted by a commercial fisheries executive with the former representative. She has attempted to make local fishing interests a key part of her campaign despite not sponsoring a single bill related to fishing during her one term in Congress. ... Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham said in a statement on the story, "Mary Peltola's closest aides describe a routine history of physical violence, explosive anger, and utter disdain for Alaskans, which makes her entirely unfit for the U.S. Senate. Peltola's deeply offensive and disturbing comments do not represent the Alaska way and she must publicly apologize to her staff and the people of Alaska."
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) leads Democrat Troy Jackson by 3 points in her bid for a sixth term, according to a new poll. The New York Times/Siena University survey found Collins leading Jackson, the former president of the Maine Senate, with 49 percent support to the Democrat's 46 percent. The incumbent's edge was within the roughly 5 point margin of error, while another 5 percent of the 619 respondents were undecided, the results show.
Eric Swalwell's Hotel Prostitute Wingman Reuben Gallego has also been accused of abusing staffers. And banging them. He says the Peltola accusations are no big deal.
Nicholas WuIn more news of Democrats unmasking, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed refused to condemn the IRGC, even when asked by a refugee who says his family was hunted and murdered by that terrorist-designated group.
@nicholaswu12 Asked Sen. Gallego about the NYT Peltola story on staff mistreatment, who tells reporters: "when I was 25, I had a really bad boss. He made me run across an open fucking field of raking machine gun fire to breach a door. So, yeah, life's tough sometimes"

@EricLDaugh 🚨 UPDATE: In a SHOCKING incident, a young Iranian-American tells MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that his family was hunted and k*lled by the Islamists in Iran -- and asks Abdul to CONDEMN the IRGC... ...Abdul refused IN HIS FACE. "WE'RE DYING." "You said you didn't want to comment on Ayatollah Khamenei's death...that silence left a GAPING HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. Do you renounce the people that held vigils that supported this TERRORIST? Do you stand against the Islamic Republic of Iran that killed 50,000 protestors? Please!" ABDUL: My worry is when one decides we go in and take out the leadership of foreign government... *word salad against Trump's Iran intervention* STUDENT: YOU STILL HAVEN'T SAID IT. WE'RE DYING. ABDUL: I want to be careful. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?! Abdul is an Islamist...he is MORE WORRIED about upsetting radical Islamic voters so he can win the election than standing with the civilians. You know why? Because he knows that it nets him more votes. If he tries to stand with the Iranian civilians, the Left would paint him as sympathizing with Trump. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. He hates Trump so much he's willing to stand with the IRGC. Vote for Mike Rogers!

No, you really don't. She lies. All the time. All of her ads and those funded by Lower 48 dark money are attack ads on Sullivan, claiming all sorts of nonsense. The ads started over a year ago and are ubiquitous. So much so that Sullivan finally put up a website called "Mary Lies."
She claims to be a fisherwoman out of Bethel, but she lives in a mansion in south Anchorage and she only goes out to Bethel to go fishing on her family's boats. She fishes subsistence rules, which she is not qualified for, but since she's Native nobody says boo.
Finally, Sullivan's wife, who is also Native, called her out in an ad for lying about the Sullivan family finances. She attacked him for inheriting stocks from his dead parents. Downright ghoulish, and she mischaracterized the entire thing.
Mary is an ignorant useless scrunt, mostly a Murkowski twin.

First off, 40% would mostly be straight ticket. Lots of LIVs going in and vote the Dem, especially if they are senile and someone else is filling out the ballot.
But partition is impractical. It has never worked. Not once. People urging "national divorce" are delusional. The left portion would immediately attack the rest, seeking to subvert and undermine it.
We stand or fall as one, and if the GOP actually holds on, you are going to see a massive exodus because a lot of illegals are waiting to see if a Dem congress can deliver for them. But if the House and Senate hold, they will scoot.

This is when you let women in the workplace. It changes the entire dynamic from Get Shit Done, to "Where can I get a mimosa before my yoga session before lunch?"
So shit isn't getting done, and some virago lets loose with words that are kind and gentle compared to when Men did business. I fondly remember occasions of fist fights at the delivery entrance at an office building, then the participants would wipe off the blood and grime and go to lunch together and talk smack about sports—then hit the office that PM with their strategy in alignment.

I think it may have to do with Mary's illegal use of campaign funds, and her animosity toward Planned Parenthood because they didn't fund her automatically. She's all in on abortion, but she got mad and "nothinged" PP. I expect Nancy Pelosi finds her a liability, not a net gain. Otherwise, I can't imagine why the NYT would print this hit piece.

It's an info op these days. They try to create a fake wave to push the electorate. The key is to watch what the candidates actually do, not what people claim is the polling.
Harris is coming to Michigan to campaign for El-Sayed. That means he's in deep trouble and needs help keeping his base. She's coming to buff her far left credentials with the DSC types for 28, shoring up her left flank.
That's why El-Sayed won't moderate because he knows he's going to lose, he's just doing this to raise his profile and of course grift more effectively.

A lot of these Dem candidate know they won't win. Internal polling and fundraising, volunteers, etc. tell them that. They are really just making some quick money by fleecing the rubes. Talerico is the best at this, and because the media wants to hope against hope, they're going to pretend that it's all real, because a close race boosts ratings.
I find it amazing that so soon after Harris' bogus polls came out, people are treating them as real yet again.
Any conservative who says we need to panic is a grifter. Or stupid.

I have only seen one real poll reported for the paxton-talerico race and it has them tied. Most of the polls being reported are junk surveys from austin asking registered voters who they will vote for. At this point the only real polls are ones polling likely voters and there are very few legitimate ones.

El-Sayed has a brand, and that's what sustains him. Tacking to the center is smart politics but it is toxic to his brand. He will be seen as weak, and his base will desert him.
He rightly understands that he is very likely to lose, and it isn't worth the risk. Michigan has been writhing under Dem rule for 8 long years and there is a long-standing cycle of change here. It goes back forever.
That means whatever Trump effect is out there is up against the normal cycle where people just want new leadership. El-Sayed terrifying Bloomfield Hills isn't going to boost his turnout.

Her last husband Buzzy Peltola overloaded his plane and crashed it, so she tried to sue the airplane manufacturer, for his error.
She also has been living in his mansion in Anchorage, but apparently just put it up for sale, for $200K more than he paid for it.
I think that was her third marriage but the count could be higher.

A blue state that voted for Trump twice, and the third time was obviously, transparently fake.
It's a swing state and it is swinging to the right. For once the state GOP has decent, boring candidates and it's the Dems who went with a slate of lunatics.

And I don't know where people think he's going to win. The polls are a joke. This guy got the nom because to liberal women split the normie vote. Why would independents vote for him? He's promising socialist revolution!
Do people think Nessel's "Jews should just accept we're all going to be gassed, but Trump is worse" doesn't make sense in a state Trump carried convincingly. And bringing in Harris is a desperation move to save the down-ballot races.

Make sense. Anyway, he's not actually trying to win, because if he was, he would be tacking to the center, and today's clip shows that. He could very easily have tried to thread that needle: "The reports aren't clear, but if that was the case, than I condemn it completely!"
But he could not risk blowing up his permanent gig.

The machine has been badly damaged. The courts have ruled that losing candidates have standing to sue over the result. That was not the case before.
These are federal offices, federal jurisdiction and DoJ will have boots on the ground in key locations. The cost of doing fraud is now much higher than it was, and state election officials will be powerless here. Indeed, as DoJ has repeatedly stated, than can be prosecuted for permitting fraud.

Dozens of Muslim Delegates Walk Out as Netanyahu Addresses UN
Dozens of United Nations delegates walked out of the hall Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to deliver a speech in. Addressing the UN's General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu described those walking out as "moral cowards". Those who remained and felt similarly should leave, he said. ... The war was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,920 people have been killed, according to the territory's health ministry.
They say "according to the territory's health ministry" to avoid saying "according to the Hamas health ministry." Netanyahu said that many of those walking out are liars -- behind the scenes, they applaud Israel's attack on Iranian nukes.
"You want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact...many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes! It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy."
Netanyahu roasted the Communist Jihadi Theater Kid Zorhan Mamdani, who had previously promised to arrest him if he set foot in NYC:
Mamdani has FAILED to block Netayahu from NYC "Mr. Mamdani, you tried to STOP ME from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you CAN'T silence me! You can't silence the truth!" *Applause* "Mr. Mamdani...it's no wonder, you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker who said America deserve 9/11!" "And here's the simple truth -- Israel didn't commit genoc*de. Israel prevented genoc*de! That's what Mamdani's Hamas buddies would've done to us had we not stopped them. They would've k*lled every last one of us." This comes after Mamdani CAVED on his arrest warrant push for Netanyahu. Mamdani never had any authority WHATSOEVER to block any foreign leader from New York City, NOR to arrest them. That authority rests entirely with President Trump and Marco Rubio Which Marco DID do by blocking the "Palestinian" delegationLOL. He roasted the UK and France for accusing Israel of "colonialism."
"They accuse Israel -- little Israel -- of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing? Among others, people in Britain and France. For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept -- their colonies stretched across the entire world. Colonialism? Please, give us a break!"He noted the op launched by unnamed countries:

The reality is that everything supposedly malicious and evil about Europe and the whites was earlier done on mass scale by non-whites.
Slavery? Existed since caveman times.
Colonialism? Mongols, Arabs, and to a lesser extent Asians were doing this long before Europe got into the act.
Raiding, raping, and pillaging? Invented long before recorded history.
Europeans were just better at most of these things than other races and cultures. And slavery almost doesn't count because whites were merely the last cog in the chain of the slave industry.

I just went to a town meeting to try to stabilize rent for mobile homes and the amount of people using their keywords like socialism and communism but never actually making a point was a shock to me. One guy even threatened the select board with a lawsuit calling them thieves through taxation. I dont live in a wealthy town, and the price of housing has more than doubled in the last five years.
Anyway, the rent stabilization ordinance was shot down.

I've had beans since and they were okay, so tonight is the test to see if beer with beans is okay (b/c beer is in the chili) - didn't want to have jalapenos or anything hotter in the chili when I'm testing for the beer.

This is the exact opposite of what Mamdani ran on.
He promised to arrest Netanyahu. Now Netanyahu is escorted to the UN by his NYPD while that same NYPD arrests people protesting him, including politicians endorsed by Mamdani.
And we’re supposed to treat their arrests as resistance without asking the obvious question: why is Mamdani’s NYPD arresting them in the first place? What are they doing to hold him accountable for that publicly?
Mamdani chose to keep Jessica Tisch. If his administration opposes these arrests, he has power over NYPD policy and leadership. Demand that he use it.
Instead, people keep peddling this fiction that Mamdani is powerless and his hands are tied. If his own supporters preemptively excuse him from using the powers he does have, what incentive is there to fight to fulfill the promise they elected him on?

I remember seeing a video of some ISIS guys celebrating their victory over the Yazidis.
They'd captured a bunch of women and were deciding how to split them as sex slaves among the group. One guy kept making a big show over giving his share to someone, anyone else.
At first I thought he was doing the normal pompous Arab thing of promising extravagant gifts but I do wonder if he actually had a personal problem with enslaving someone and couldn't think of another way to get out of it.
Or maybe he was gay.

In 1948, in the middle east, there was a two state solution proposed and executed, one state for the Jews, and one for the Arabs. These two states are called Israel and Jordan. Some Hashemites in Jordan tried to assassinate the king, and were thrown out of the country. Those terrorists are now called palestinians.

He is right on both accounts. They are moral for walking out and coward for not punching him.
It is important for the USA to take note when he spoke about Iran. Saying attacking Iran “was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make.” Your country flounders while Israel has healthcare, free education… all on your back while you foot the bill for his wars and genocide.
The fact this asshole was allowed to speak is what I have a problem with. Trying to garner the worlds sympathy for a genocide and pretend Israel is “defending itself”, while calling anyone who criticizes them antisemitic ismorally reprehensible.
Sad to see Jews turning from victim into perpetrator.
Isreal had the world's sympathy after 7th Oct and this guy managed to make Israel the most hated country on earth

Too busy trying to join the EU.
Check out that idiot Premier Eby in BC. Wanting to take advantage of disarray in his opposition, he called a snap election for Oct 24. Only two years into his term. In his speech opening the election campaign, he mentioned Trump a dozen times and whined about defending Canada’s sovereignty. Hey dummy, what of PM Carney wanting to join the EU? A threat to your sovereignty or nah?

Carney is ib the news today because he made it known that his office had considered a U.S. invasion of Canada as a possible scenario.
"I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk," Carney told the Times. "That's just risk management. That's not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to" prepare.
Carney is much more comfortable taking it from the EU on one end and the CCP on the other.
I think I’ll start calling him Spitroast Carney from now on.

He's playing on the idea that the MOU led to a massive cash transfer to Iran, which people were saying would happen.
What actually happened was the MOU outlined a ceasefire arrangement where Iran acted like a normal country during negotiations, and if they were good, they got unfrozen assets from Gulf States ($12 billion) plus an investment fund of $300 billion to rebuild the country, funded by Gulf states in order to bring the region together economically.
People intentionally misread it while listening to Iranian propaganda that said it immediately transferred the funds the second the MOU was signed.
No funds were ever transferred because Iran was attacking third party ships within 48 hours of the signing, Bessent has just frozen more funds, and not even Saudi Arabia had any idea how the $300 billion would come together.

Well like most colonial wars, it was a bit dicey at first but once things got organized it was a landslide. Same thing happened when the Military suffered the largest US disaster versus the Indians in Ohio under Washington as President. Aside from a few raids on the new towns on the riverbank areas they could do nothing, and a little bit later "Mad Anthony Wayne" led an expedition towards their homelands. There's a chain of cities and towns that were the Days march forts northward to protect the supply line, and the result of the treaty to end the war was England abandoning its forts in US Territory.

The native Askari under General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck were incredibly effective in WWI. Grok's summary:
Lettow-Vorbeck’s force only surrendered on 25 November 1918 after learning of the Armistice, still intact with roughly 155 Europeans, 1,168 Askari, and thousands of followers. They never received meaningful resupply from Germany and tied down an estimated 300,000 Allied troops over the course of the war while remaining undefeated in the field.

I'm pretty sure that the video which purported to show the Indian manufacture of danish butter cookies was not of danish butter cookies, but of something for a local festival.
You do have to look for danish "butter" cookies made with butter flavoring, instead of butter, though.
Whoever thought that was a good idea used the same Butter flavor as they put on movie theater popcorn. Which is fine on popcorn, but is utterly wrong in Danish butter cookies.

Mortimer Dalrymple and Kim DuToit would disagree with you regarding Africa. Basically all the colonial powers could do given the disparity of numbers is pick and choose which tribe was the least dysfunctional and the least likely to try to massacre the colonials. And they used that tribe to keep the others at bay.
Asian colonies did not have the same dysfunctional tribal system that Africa did with the barbarians on the periphery of settled cities. In Africa, it was everywhere. A quick glance at colonies regressing after independence or the fall of Rhodesia and South Africa makes clear that African tribalism is not conducive to good governance. Latin America, Asia, etc. have problems but not to that extent.

In a majority of 53, with Senators like Murkowski (Democrat), Tillis (asshole, Democrat, and not running for re-election), Mitch (asshole, Democrat, and not running for re-election), Cassidy (asshole, Democrat, and not running for re-election), Cornyn (asshole, Democrat, and not running for re-election), and Ernst (asshole, Democrat, and not running for re-election), how do you convince a majority of the whole chamber to vote for the SAVE Act?

Correlli Barnett wrote a series of books on the subject. British industry was already uncompetitive before the war. Instead of ditching the unsustainable pretense of being a great power and investing in improving their industries, they indulged in the NHS, nationalization and housing, while Germany rebuilt rapidly.

You want America to be a hermetically sealed autarky. If the country is impoverished, so be it.
I like having the choice of evil foreign goods. Competition is good I also like that evil foreigners come over here and employ our people. The BMWs you see on the road were most likely made in SC, for example.
I also refuse to live in intense FEAR of the Outside World. I see danger there but also vast opportunity.
By the way, if you want more jobs here, government has to be more business friendly, and the schools you pay extortionate funds for should crank out literate people who can add and subtract, and maybe not focus so much on who or what they fuck. And US companies should make quality goods. You’ll never see me wearing anything other than New Balance. For a reason.

I think this is a false dichotomy. We can be a player in the global markets while maintaining our autonomy and also not deliberately outsourcing all of our manufacturing to foreign shores and then allowing those shitty products to undercut everything made at home.
We also don't have to allow unfettered access to our huge consumer market without tariffs or fees out of the goodness of our hearts. Cheap TVs don't make a lasting nation.

Did Sonny Hostin Lie About Being the Holdout Juror in the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park Case?
Earlier this week, Sonny Hostin bragged that she was the lone holdout that allowed the literal cannibal killer called "The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park" -- a man who murdered someone and then cut up the body and gave it to homeless people to eat to dispose of the evidence -- to beat a murder rap.
WTF - The View host Sunny Hostin, ADMITS that she was the holdout juror who kept the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park out of prison.

Why is Sunny Hostin lying about being the hold out juror?
— Jason “Storm Chaser” Nelson (@RealJasonNelson) September 24, 2026
According to this article, Asunción "Sunny" Cummings Hostin is actually upset with the holdout juror, saying she believed the cannibal defendant was aware of his actions. She was upset w/the juror pushing for a NGBROI… pic.twitter.com/tzUFqkhhOQ

@AndrewKolvet
This is the funniest thing on the internet this morning. Turns out Sunny Hostin was lying about being the lone holdout juror who got The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park off on murder charges. The holdout was an unemployed guy who wanted the $15/day juror stipend to continue, and Hostin is quoted as being upset he got off: "He knew what he was doing." Earth to Sunny, the truth makes you look far better than the lie!
ShipwreckedcrewNicolas Fondacaro of MRC says the evidence isn't as clear as that NY Daily News article makes it seem. He says that Sonny Hostin was reported by one outlet as being one of the two holdout jurors. But... even so, she would not be the lone holdout as she says, and also, it seems that the unemployed man was the main holdout, and if she eventually voted with him, it was just to reach a "compromise" with him.
@shipwreckedcrew 1h Unreal. This should drive her off the program. She blatantly lied about her role as a juror in this case. She claimed she was a holdout juror who convinced the other 11 who wanted to convict to change their minds. But this article written at the time reveals her to be lying. Grok confirms her true name prior to changing it was "Asunción Cummings."

I read the link. What she said at the time was this:
We don't think he intended to kill her," said a juror, Asuncion Cummings [Sonny Hostin]. "But once he did, he dismembered her body in an effort to commit the perfect crime."
That statement has nothing to do with any insanity defense. She's basically saying he knew exactly what he was doing, but guilty of some lesser offense than murder. Even if she was holding out on that basis, she's still lying now by claiming she was holding out because he was legally insane.
Bottom line: Stank Bitch Speaketh With Forked Tongue.

A jury in 2004 found him no longer dangerous, but a judge, thank heavens, ruled he still suffers from a dangerous mental disorder and requires continued retention, and he still remains under institutionalized psychiatric care. Hopefully for life.
What if the judge was an activist and said he was cured? He would be free now.
One of the Manson cult chicks found guilty was eventually let free.
Andrea Yates could petition to be set free, but she apparently chooses to stay in the facility and waives her right to a sanity review.
All murderers, serial killers, baby killers, human butchers are clearly insane. At what point do woke feminist Karens say yes, they're insane, but also incredibly guilty? To protect society, lock them up? That's no longer the default due to activism. I feel like the Clancy case eroded that, and more and more evil psychopaths will go free.
Would Charles Manson be found guilty now?

Flyin' high as the King of Ortho at the university said my dude's MRI was "over read" for doom by the radiologist (surgery and six weeks of crutches). PT for 12 weeks and muscle strengthening.
I read last night that 1 out of 3 radiologists over read reports.
This Doc (who is the doc of professional teams) normally only sees patients under 50yrs for sports medicine stuff. I told him I wished he had a hotline for retired neurotic RN's. His assistant told me that she was the hotline based on my note of him being a former elite runner...she got him in. I thanked her.
Thanks to any who prayed as that was a comfort and I might sleep normally again vs my 4am stress alarm going off for a month. Thankful.

@shannonrwatts
United employees forced a 25 year old woman to return to her seat next to a man who was masturbating (, United claimed
because the flight was full. After landing, the airline told the woman it was her responsibility to contact police and gave her a $100 travel credit.
I hope the woman doesn't take that money because that - literally - makes her a whore. If that's the baseline then any creep can just whip it out and go for it.
Oh, it also makes United staff into pimps. They're the ones paying the women on their planes for creeps to spank it at them.
I am glad she reported it thus saving her honor. Not so much United's.

The actual killers would have been convicted, probably, It’s debatable in regards to Manson, as Bugliosi had to spend a lot of time and energy to come up with the Helter Skelter theory to prove Charlie ordered the murders and was as responsible as the kids who did the deeds.
I could see some slick lawyer today get a not guilty for Charlie. The only Family member who testified against them was Linda Kasabian and a good defense lawyer could throw some doubt on her due to her being an addict and probable prostitute.

It was fun, altho there were only 4 of us from my class out of the 40 people there. The others looked like Karens.
Two of the "girls" lived above me in an old historic (because I lived there) duplex. Hadn't seen them since graduation and we yapped for hours.
I showed them photos of bf/husband with our grands and they couldn't believe the lunatic casanova bf settled down to be a good man. I lucked out.
I did not go on the tour of the college or hospital or see the teaching mannequins as I didn't care. I also knew I'd mess with the mannequin and be inappropirate.

Depends on the subject(s).
Still life, fashion, architectural, and product shots still need good lighting and setups, so you put a lot of time into composition beforehand.
Most everybody else; photojournalism, sports, paparazzi, etc. just hold down the button and get as many pics as flash and media storage allows, then pick and choose the best shots later.

Last episode I watched was their feature length episode about influencers from 2-3 years ago.

What are you doing Maine? She hates you guys
There’s a lot of dudes in lifted trucks paying 250 bucks a week in gas that can’t get over the fact that there might be a trans person playing women’s basketball somewhere in the country.
These are the kinds of polls we need to see. Showing Republicans have a chance means nobody can be complacent in going to vote.
I just went to a town meeting to try to stabilize rent for mobile homes and the amount of people using their keywords like socialism and communism but never actually making a point was a shock to me. One guy even threatened the select board with a lawsuit calling them thieves through taxation. I dont live in a wealthy town, and the price of housing has more than doubled in the last five years.
Anyway, the rent stabilization ordinance was shot down.
really, this should be penciled as an easy Dem win. Are Maine voters dumber than Texans?

But people are irrational and greedy and believe what they want to believe. Plus, her story was right out of Hollywood: young, attractive lady invents radical new medical test.
So she and the company were hyped to the moon. But it was patently obvious bullshit. Fools are soon parted with their money, and all that.

Did Candace Owens Take $1.75 Million from Harvey Weinstein to Defend Him and Taint the Jury Pool So That He'd Be Acquitted?
Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for "mercy" during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday -- where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to "instill fear" in his victims. The decrepit 74-year-old ex-Miramax mogul had no visible reaction as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber slapped him with 15 years behind bars, calling Weinstein a "sexual predator" who took advantage of his "insatiable appetite for sexual dominance." ... Weinstein hired private investigators to track her [the victim he was imprisoned fro raping] after she came forward with her allegations, causing her to live with constant paranoia and "questioning every encounter I have," she added. Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by "contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials." Weinstein engaged in a "scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg alleged. Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called "Harvey Speaks," which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. Efforts to reach Owens directly Wednesday were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Owens, Mitchell Jackson, said Wednesday that she was never paid by Weinstein.Well, that's enough for me. Cavernous Nostrils has never lied or grifted or race-hustled in her entire life. A Weinstein spokesman denies he paid a podcaster to tamper with a jury -- but does not deny that he paid a podcaster to get his side of the story out to the public.
Is Candace Owens a "friend," then? Guys, she really wants to take down the "Epstein Class." Once she gets done shilling for Harvey Weinstein. She'll have explosive evidence about Epstein, you guys, in tomorrow's big show. Stay tuned, dum-dums!
Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer denied the jury tampering allegations. "That characterization is patently untrue. Harvey never offered or paid anyone $1.75 million to influence a jury, and there was no such agreement," Engelmayer said. "Talking with friends about media coverage or expressing frustration is a very different thing from paying someone to contaminate a jury pool or intimidate witnesses. No money was paid, no such deal was made, and portraying these conversations as a criminal-style 'scheme' is inflammatory and misleading," he said.
Candace Owens told Myron Gaines in January that people from Harvey Weinstein’s "team reached out to me" and approached her to cover his story.

That’s not to say she was the alleged podcaster whom Weinstein reportedly offered $1.75 million.
But she was certainly one of the most… https://t.co/8ddUGtAmMN pic.twitter.com/pxg0tWMYOt
Candace Owens (conveniently) leaves out that, according to Candace herself, it was Harvey Weinstein’s team that reached out to her because “they thought I would be THE ONLY PERSON that would look at this fairly.”

That's why the French-Israeli assassins are still a threat against her life.

This is what she does, and apparently it is lucrative. Whether or not she does it for money is an interesting question. I don't care enough to find out but I wonder if she is for or against data-centers.

Every political podcast is like that. It’s like cable news was 15 years ago when people still paid attention to it.
Reality is not that much happens day to day that’s important. But the podcast machine has to keep churning out 2-3 hours of content daily. So they find the smallest insignificant thing and make it an 11. Trunp will be totally destroyed by this thing. Like he was yesterday. And last week.
What I don’t get is how people don’t get tired of being manipulated like that and keep coming back.

Old lawyer trick. "She" wasn't paid "by Weinstein." That's a very narrow denial that would cover only direct payments to her personally from Weinstein himself personally.
Great! What about the probable dozen companies and affiliates that Candy Ovens has set up and the probably 100s of companies and affiliates that Fat Harv has set up?
There are many many ways to transfer money that don't involve direct payments from Person X to Person Y.

No. The media class attracts the worst class of individuals--high levels of sociopathy and narcissism comparable to politicians. Tucker is someone that has been paid to influence policy for decades now. Owens started as a sociopath with her Social Autopsy website and basically made every employer fire her for misbehavior before becoming independent.
And she too sells influence. Both decided their grifting career would be based on selling their audience on whatever garbage that foreigners wanted to inject into the US public and to do that trick--they must have enough followers to get paid.
Thus, they have to continually gin up fake and gay conspiracies for their social media addicted viewers.
It is best for common folks to simply ignore their existence, let Ace and a few others enjoy using them as a butt of jokes but frankly anyone that believes anything those two (and many other grifters online or in broadcast media like Karl Rove) deserves whatever they get.

Asshole lawyer is trying to pursue his white whale while fighting all sorts of disciplinary actions from the bar like mishandling client funds, etc. on top of the vicious attempts to 'investigate' the holdout juror.
Lindsey is still in a wheelchair and as the facts continue to dribble out, I think her peak of public sympathy is well behind her and the nasty facts dribbling out into the public now makes it more and more clear that she intentionally murdered her three kids.
And the husband is so tied up in trying to win a lawsuit that he more or less has ignored justice for his kids in order to do that.
No one with any authority is speaking on behalf of the dead kids including that idiot prosecutor.

The vids of this bukkakefest are actually encouraging in that it's 100% pure paid-for astroturf. The matching shirts and protest paraphernalia are cute.
These are the same rent-a-mob hyper-losers that show up at all these staged events.
The takeaway is that they had to pay people to show up to protest Bibi. There's no grassroots, organic opposition who care enough to get off their weed-infused asses.

a new NYT article blames the old gerrymandered map for Utah on THE PATRIARCHY, and hints that Hagen, a woman justice, was unfairly fired for being a woman.
She CHOSE to step down. NYT acts like it was a false smear campaign against a woman, with no evidence. They conveniently leave out that her husband had texts between her and her BFF attorney guy friend she was allegedly sleeping with, that also happened to be an attorney on the redistricting case, oopsie. (Their "friendship" rekindled as her marriage was imploding.) The texts according to the husband hint at an affair. But he can never reveal them due to legalese in their divorce decree. So when a committee was looking into evidence of her alleged affair, to decide whether to drop her as a court justice, there was no evidence to submit. It's all behind a legal wall. So they found her not guilty, but she still left the job, probably because it was too messy.
That is NOT muh patriarchy, that is chummy relations between judge and attorney on cases she rules on, that call into question her judgment.

We are already seeing the tightening you predicted in July. We are now getting walk backs, like Rove in the WSJ this morning, that little weasely, fatman, flabby, dick juggler.
I see more signs of Dems growing concerned. One article said Republicans blew their money advantage by starting too late and letting things be defined and settled in early.
I laughed so hard I puked.
There is a lot of ground between now and November and some fairly big “undecided” margins that I personally believe are the pollsters new fudge factors.
There is no way, like they said last week, that Republicans will lose every toss up race. No way.
If we can motivate people to get out there and vote, our edge in registration will pull us over the finish line.

I finally watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and she has a blink-and-you-miss-it part as one of the Manson cult chicks. She was, um, definitely different looking without makeup and the boobs not being highlighted! Still girl next door pretty, but it was a stark transition to her recent ads.
Lena Dunham also played a Manson chick. She did not have to act much with the crazy cult persona, it was already there! Some of the girls, especially the one Brad's character flirts with in the car, were definitely dialed into the crazy/hot matrix and had the crazy eyes on lock.
She just adopted a baby via surrogate. Someone needs to tell her she can't rehome it, like she did her dog, if it pees on her carpet and she drives it insane. She always scoffed at things like trad marriage with a white dress and family, yet clearly yearned for them in a passive aggressive, resentful way. God bless that little child, may it somehow emerge ok.

Whig, there was an article in the Atlantic, of all places, that had a good take on this. They gave a reporter a $10K retainer to gamble and test out the betting markets for a story. (He is a straightlaced Mormon so he doesn't gamble. He sought out advice from his bishop before taking on the story. His bishop gave him warnings he later admitted came true.) He found it eventually affected everything he did in negative ways. His family, his stress. He attended gambling anonymous group meetings as part of the story, and realized he was def jonesing for it by the end. He said it was frightening how online sports betting can suck you in.
He actually brought up Chesterton's fence, and said that maybe when earlier generations banned gambling, it was for a good reason. How the 2018 Supreme Court ruling may have inadvertently torn down a protective fence we didn't realize society needed. And now the wolves are entering and eating up the lambs.

She was cute when she was young but she always had that "I hate you and think you are pond scum" look on her face when she wasn't pretending to be friendly.

The combination of gambling and Fantasy Sports has already ruined the game, no matter what sport or league. As soon as gambling money started chasing fantasy teams, players started focusing on putting up personal stats rather than the teamwork necessary to actually win games and championships.

100%. Coverage, stats, even drafting and team play have all ben corrupted by gambling. Baseball was the first casualty but its spread through all of them. Football has been corrupt forever but its gotten even worse lately.
Literally running gambling ads during games and having ESPN do fantasy league shows is just shocking to me. But lets keep Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose out of the hall of fame forever!!

She was good in The Truth About Cats and Dogs. They purposely covered her character up in long sleeves and flowy clothes because her character, while a model, has an abusive boyfriend and is very neurotic and self conscious. They played down her looks and she was still gorgeous.
Oh, and speaking of Uma and a Tarantino film...OMG, so many images of women in bare dirty feet in Once Upon a Time!

Actors and performer should be segregated from civil society as they were from the beginning of time until the latter part of the 20th Century.
Weinstein, as far as any correction of that system goes is nothing.
He is a sacrificial distraction from the corruption of Hollywood and the law.

Her need for clicks to say the opposite (Kirk murder) of anyone else.
I love this for her, to be connected to Weinstein and a pay out.
Regarding who he helped, look at "his" women who got Oscars from their first movie. I can think of two right now.
Then look at "his" women who never said a bad word against him in the #MeToo. There are several.
Bloated toad of a "man." You have to give it all for the Oscar. Those who did not I admire more.
As I have said before, I would know better than to go to his hotel room alone. Second, when he opened the door in his robe I would leave. Third, either an ambulance or a coroner van would arrive if I was stupid enough to go in his room. There would be a lot of blood and it would not be mine.
My mother kept me from two "modeling" photoshoots in CA from supposed scouts in college. I did not even have to ask her as I knew she'd say no. Parents were over 1k miles away and I knew better and thought more of myself.
Markle's ladder climb.. She, it is said, let the Weinstein hog do anything to her. He later bragged he slept with her. Trash.

Of Course: Liberal Judge Rushes in to Save CNN and MSNOW
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump early Thursday to restore White House access to CNN, MSNOW and Politico, temporarily blocking his bid to ban them from accessing the executive mansion. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the news outlets had met the "high bar" for a preliminary injunction and that White House must "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" their access.The legacy media outlets, including Fox, protested Trump by refusing to carry the White House pool reporting and footage that all other media rely on. I actually can understand Fox joining the embargo, because -- and strangely the leftwing media has forgotten all about this for some reason -- Obama repeatedly threatened to ban Fox from the White House. Fox thinks, probably wrongly, that if they join with the liberal media in solidarity in boycotting Trump, then they will rush in and boycott a Democrat president when he bans Fox. I wouldn't count on that. Very much 2003 thinking. These are communists and the only thing that matters to them is the revolution and then the sweet, sweet purges thereafter. But I understand their thinking. Real America's Voice and Just the News have been undermining this boycott by doing the pool coverage themselves.
President Donald Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds last week did more than pick a fight with three newsrooms. It exposed how easily the country's main picture of the presidency can go dark.Hello. Looks like a slow news day. Yikes on bikes what I wouldn't give for a juicy Lesbian Long Covid story today.
... After the White House blocked CNN from its assigned turn in the five-network television pool, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News declined in solidarity to fill the slot. As a result, there was no shared network video of Trump boarding Air Force One. Additionally, at a South Lawn ribbon-cutting for a new Marine One helipad, helicopter noise swallowed his remarks on the White House livestream. ... But one conservative network, Real America's Voice, a partner of Just the News, is stepping into the void to create competition and a backup plan. The White House listed RAV as secondary TV crew for the New York trip to the United Nations General Assembly gathering and on Wednesday, RAV said it would offer its pool camera as a free, unbranded feed to any outlet. "When the traditional television pool chose to stand down, somebody still had to show up, turn the cameras on, and make sure the American public had access to the President," Parker Sigg, RAV's vice president, told Just the News. "RAV was ready to do exactly that. We have the crews, the infrastructure, and the ability to distribute this coverage far beyond our own network.

It's about who has access to offices that allow for easier relationship building between media figures and government officials.
The media really doesn't want to lose that, and they REALLY don't want themselves replaced by, say, Breitbart who can get off the record interviews with WH officials more easily.

This editor's wife was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (lupus erythematosus) years ago, but even she gave up the mask when everyone else did and stopped after the first booster.

That allowed an insane, new legal standard for conspiracy, over the old requirement that required an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
That is, an actual act or verbal agreement to undertake the conspiracy.
No more:
His new, improved--just for J6--standard was, "well, it can be a wink. Or a nod. Or neither if you want to imply it from the context. Whatever--just convict him."
So yeah, the left can fuck right off with the "Trump appointed" judge bullshit.

Perhaps. Trump does have an unerring instinct for hijacking the news cycle and getting what he wants the discussion to revolve around taking place. The more the press talks about this tempest in a teapot is the less they shout about their other priorities.
Besides, this latest controversy will be forgotten about in two weeks, and it will be onto the next one.

This would be my policy as President, except without the written questions.
These swine would get their news the same way everyone else did. By watching the consequences of my actions.
Zero communication. Any leaks to media punishable by immediate firing and probable prosecution.
Acta non verba.
The President has no requirement to communicate a motherfucking thing to the swine of the media. None.

The dominant strain of the Trump 2.0 legal efforts is at establishing precedent. Every major move hasn't been first about winning the particular issue, but on working through the system to create precedent on a larger scale.
It was the point of the firing of federal employees, of every immigration move, and of things like tariffs.
His admin is very forward looking, not looking for quick wins but establishing precedent that should outlast this presidency.
It doesn't always work, but it is the overarching philosophy.

A guy who is at the end of his career and don't give a shit about pissing off the judge, mocking his threat of sanctions.
Like how Trump used to brag about Bolton, "this guy is a madman, I'd just bring him to meetings and have him stand there, scare the shit of them."
Have the guy deliberately walk in just late enough that the judge can't rule.
Refuse to apologize for being late, just say, "Oh, you started without me?"
And interrupt the judge, talk over him, goad and mock him, "Oooh, look at the judge talking like he's important."
Yell back at the judge.
That kind of shit.
Because Trump doesn't know how sacred these assholes hold their phony-ass decorum and respect rules.
And how they're using that against him.
And they don't have a good way to deal with someone who doesn't fear a judge yelling at them or sanctions.
And this will destroy the very process they are using to illegally block Trump.

Best I can do:
Them.us: Long COVID Is More Common in Bisexual and Trans People. The Reasons Why Are Complicated Activists are calling for more research and government support to address troubling health disparities.
Compared to 5% of cisgender men and 9% of cisgender women, 15% of trans adults say they are currently experiencing long COVID symptoms. Meanwhile, 12% of bisexual adults in the U.S. are living with post-COVID conditions, compared to 7% of straight, gay, and lesbian adults.
“Of course trans people have higher rates of long COVID,” says JD Davids, co-founder of The Network for Long COVID Justice group. “We have lower rates of being treated as humans."
Long COVID’s effects can be arduous. Whitehead, who once enjoyed playing soccer with friends, is now physically disabled and uses a mobility scooter.
Jessica Olson, a 45-year old bisexual living with type 1 diabetes and long COVID, feels the government has not put up enough money to care for people with the chronic illness. “The government needs to be spending 1000 times as much as it is to provide care for people with long COVID."

But then what happens if the jacked bro breaks his little pecker off? You're liable, right?
Or what happens if nobody volunteers to sit next to the pervert?

The pro-trans article put it more delicately and positively.
Another reason queer, trans, and bisexual adults might be overrepresented among people with long COVID is that they’re more likely to recognize what long COVID is in the first place. That’s because queer people are used to responding to health emergencies like the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which created a network of advocates who used their experience responding to that crisis in the wake of COVID-19, including by disseminating knowledge about acute and chronic COVID infection.

It seems to me that classical liberalism's changes over the last century are because the philosophy actually has no limiting principles. It's atomizing to the individual while rejecting anything like organizing structures which then makes it a requirement to open up any cultural space to those who wish to destroy it.
So, it's an ideology built to self destruct because no, you can't tell the communist that he's not allowed in America because that's his atomized right to be wrong. And no, you can't bar the communist from government because that his atomized right to seek office in America. And no, we can't use the power of government to stop the communist from rounding us up in boxcars because that's in violation of our principles of not telling other people what to do.

Once you become utilitarian, this is true, because utilitarian has no solid basis other than "what is best" which can be finessed into statism and then to deep state while mouthing open markets and laissez faire, since there is no basis.
originally classical liberals where like Andrew Jackson or George Whitfield. Then they became like Jeremy Bentham and William Jennings Bryan and started agitating for central banks, the administrative state, transnationalim, fiat currencies and wars. Since those things were "more efficient"

But, remember, the not final polls right now are 100% correct because the final polls 2 years ago were 60% correct, and bringing up polling misses from not final polls in previous cycles is cope.

I have reviewed the First Amendment yet again and I fail to see the part that says "people from legacy media outlets are allowed to go wherever they want in order to lie for partisan purposes." I might see the point if Trump, you know, abridged their right to scribble their lies and distribute them to the masses (which they did for the day they were "banned.")
Further, a touch of irony here - Judge Kelly (who daily conducts public government business) almost certainly puts strict limits on whether and which Press outlets can collect news in his Courtroom.

The Morning Rant
Remember when everyone wrote woke’s eulogy? “It’s a vibe shift,” they said. “Woke 1.0 was craaaazy,” AOC said, laughing off teens getting destroyed for smirking. For a brief minute it looked like the normies had wrested control of the culture back from the crazies. I regret to inform you, we did not. If you thought Woke 1.0 was crazy, Woke 2.0 is psychotic.
I think we ARE wresting control back from the crazies, but they aren't going to give up without a fight, because they are part and parcel of the left, and they never, ever give up. Their quiet work in the schools was exposed during the Covid debacle, when parents across the country finally got a glimpse of what was really being taught to their kids. And the wannabe Mengeles in our medical establishment became a little too vocal about what they were doing to our children, and what they wanted to do, and they got caught! U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," And continuing to expose these anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Western-culture fiends is vitally important. The worst thing that can happen is if they shut up and continue their work to dismantle our culture, destroy our families, and usher in the supposed nirvana of the progressives.

Which part of W1.0 do you now recognize was too far? Which aspect of the first edition was unreasonable and have you now backed away from?

The latter is a theory that young men are being murdered by drowning and the killer is leaving a smiley face symbol in the area as a vague notice he/they did it.
It is almost certainly wrong - unfortunately young men, specifically drunk ones, sometimes drown if their path home takes them by water and smiley faces are everywhere as stickers, carvings into trees, etc (just look for it the next time you are out and about)

Somewhere around the 60s, I'm guessing. When I was a kid we actually had a (kinda sorta) functional Republican party. Now it's gerrymandered to the point where it's almost impossible for a Republican to win.

A mental experiment:
There is a significant segment of the population that is too low-IQ to have any marketable value. Society still has no plan on what to do with that growing contingent.
Much of the enshittification of companies has been due to cutting costs (effectively enslaving third parties) as regulations and taxes rise. DEI hiring has also added to the incompetence and the costs of incompetence into a business' margin.
The cuts to regulation have been meager, enslavement has reached its greatest point so that cutting the incompetent (DEI) from the ranks is one of the options between further enshittification or profitability.
• what happens when the DEI is on the streets and unmarketable joining the retards as a social question mark?
• what happens when the Demonic Party comes to power and dumps on whole new economy destroying regulations and taxes?

Overheard at my local liberal-elite Massachusetts coffee shop:
A dad and grandfather were staging what sounded like a full-blown intervention for a teenage boy who had apparently told another kid, "Trump isn't that bad"
They spent what felt like half an hour explaining their concerns before finally asking:
"Do you have anything to say for yourself, young man?"
The kid shrugged.
"I didn't say I loved him. I just meant he isn't Hitler."
Dad seemed willing to accept that. Grandpa was not.
"Before you leave this coffee shop, you need to decide which side of history you want to be on."
The kid looked him dead in the eyes and said:
"The not gay side."
Dad and Grandpa looked like they were facing the headlights of a train but the gay barista nearly snorted coffee through his nose laughing."

These commie cocksuckers are NOT mentally ill. Calling them mental actually excuses much of their behavior, mitigates their actions against the retribution that they most sorely need.
They are actively evil. Not possessed by demons evil either, they know the difference between right and wrong perfectly well, and they have freely chosen evil. True evil requires the decisions and actions of a human being. Stan and his minions are just not that strong, which is why they have such a hard on for humans. Stan KNOWS that he's a pathetic piece of shit, and he's jealous of the strength of the human spirit, a glorious gift from The Creator. The most that Stan can do is whisper in one's ear, and reinforce the evil that some men embrace.

It would be nice to get huge breed wins, but here in TX-OK the numbers just aren't there. The other problem is that while The Big Dummy is a handsome boy, he's phlegmatic and only gives what's asked of him. Lacey and Delilah had charisma to burn. They'd explode into the ring, saying, "Here I am!" Attitude means a lot too.

This remarkable picture is a meditation on death and resurrection. Christ’s dead body is displayed on a broken throne inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew. A bird, a symbol of the soul, flies upward. The landscape—contrastingly barren and lush—alludes to the themes of death and life, as do the animals. The Old Testament prophet Job sits on a block inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew while opposite is Saint Jerome (ca. 347–420), who wrote a commentary on the book of Job. The turbaned figures in the background would have been familiar to Venetians through their trade with the Middle East and Egypt.

32 The interwebz say that's Job on the left and Saint Jerome on the right, who evidently wrote a commentary on the Book of Job.
Posted by: Quarter Twenty at September 24, 2026 09:42 AM (2Ez/1)
If that were the case, then Job would be the one with no clothing. But Jerome was always depicted with a quill and a book, to show he was a writer, and I don’t see that here.

Craig had recently graduated from Wylie High School, where he was a two-year varsity football player. The defensive end recorded 50 tackles, four sacks, six QB pressures and six tackles for loss during his senior season, earning Second Team All-District honors.
Just weeks after graduation, Craig enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was 47 days into recruit training when he suffered the medical emergency on August 1. He was hospitalized and died four days later on August 5. The Marine Corps posthumously awarded him the title of Marine.
His family is now honoring his memory by establishing an educational endowment through the Wylie ISD Education Foundation, hoping Aiden’s name and legacy will continue helping students in his community.
Thoughts and Prayers to Craig's family. Rest in peace.

And I am amused. They've replaced perhaps 25% of their country. There is no more Britain. Just a bunch of Indians, Pakis, Poles, and the oppressed heritage population.
And they are surprised these people and the native population they are ethnically cleansing don't want to fight for the regime?!? In a war of choice in Ukraine?!?

The linked article identifies the Second Battle of El Alamein as the turning point which is only partially true. Before the battle, the Nazis were advancing on all fronts. In addition to the battle, October 23—November 11, 1942, the Americans landed behind the Nazis in North Africa on November 8 - 16, 1942, and the Russians completed their encirclement of the Nazis at Stalingrad on November 19, 1942. So the month between October 23 and November 19 clearly put the Germans on the defensive all across the various fronts.

It's a great story, but Kubrick muffled it with poor casting. King himself said, "I handed Kubrick a live hand grenade, and he heroically threw his body on top of it."
There's a TV miniseries version from 1997 with Rebecca DeMornay which is much closer to the novel.

The Morning Report — 9/ 24 /26
Once again the highest court in the land strikes. No not the Supreme Court of the United States but the Ultra Super Duper Supremely Superior Court of Mount Kilauea has decreed its status as the Almighty arbiter of what is the Law of the Land.
A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on Sept. 18. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.Judge Buch M. Danno shall not be disobeyed!
“The President concluded that [the banned outlets] have failed to maintain basic minimum ‘standards of professionalism and decorum expected of those given access to the White House Complex, including’ by ‘publishing sensitive or classified information… In response, the President has preliminarily revoked their continued access to White House grounds… After all, access to the White House is a privilege—not a right.” – DOJ filingYeah, that'll really show 'em! To borrow a quote from Democrat Socialist Numero Uno Joe Stalin How many divisions does the Judiciary have?! If only President Trump and indeed all of us took that to heart and made it our slogan. Especially in an instance such as this which is making my blood simmer...
A Florida history teacher allegedly tried to “cancel” an eighth-grader enrolled at one of the state’s elite schools for his conservative beliefs – and now she’s facing calls to be fired. Liz Ballard, a teacher at Pine View School in Osprey, Fla., is accused of singling out the boy as the “conservative perspective” in her classes before describing him as a “misogynist” and spreading the slur around the school, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a letter on Monday. Ballard allegedly “harassed, disparaged and deliberately tried to ‘cancel’ an eighth-grade student for his conservative views” during her debates — even though he had previously warned her “his parents expressly forbid him to take part,” according to Uthmeier’s letter. She “singled out this student and in defiance of his parents’ express instructions, pressured him to defend political positions… in front of his classmates,” the pol said, engaging in what he described as the “reputational destruction of a child.” Ballard has been the subject of “multiple” HR investigations and at the center of parents’ complaints, according to Uthmeier, who has called for her to be dismissed if the claims are legitimate. The investigation into the teacher has spanned several months, Jason Means, the President of the Sarasota Classified Teachers Association, said, according to WFLA. . . In 2023, the school was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education — an award that recognizes excellence or schools that close achievement gaps among students.Blue RIbbon? Meh this degenerate slag and everyone like her deserves a noose and the nearest lamp post rhetorically speaking of course wink-wink... And that goes most especially for Randy Weingarten and the evil unions.
So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes. Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.I know I had this a day or so ago but evil like cancer never rests. We cut it out or we die. Elsewhere the red carpet was rolled out for Xi Jinping and the Chi-Coms.
Trump, on the other hand, has cost China dearly. He has radically reduced China’s inroads into the Western Hemisphere, ousting its agents from Venezuela and the Panama Canal.Well, with a different perspective . . .
With the Cuban dictatorship apparently unable to keep the lights on, and China now permanently shut out of Greenland, Beijing’s losses in the Americas appear certain to keep piling up.
Add to this Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Economic D-Day” sanctions on Iran.
These are disrupting China’s financial ties with the Islamist regime, even as Iran’s attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and its threat of tolls hammer Beijing’s energy imports: China already pays $25 a barrel more for oil than the rest of the world. China’s leader also has major headaches back home — anemic consumer spending, a collapsing real-estate market, rising unemployment levels, an aging population and a national debt three times larger than our own (thanks, in part, to Trump’s tariffs).
Negotiating with Communists and terrorists (but I repeat myself) only ends one way. As the Xi meeting is being hyped, the People’s Republic of China is taking great care not to offend the United States of America by taking any drastic steps like… openly stealing our military hardware. Chinese authorities are reportedly in possession of F-35 stealth fighter parts after components of the aircraft were “inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong.” Shipping giant UPS was sending a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door to the U.S. from Australia in late May when it was diverted, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources Both parts were coated with a radar absorbing material that enhances their stealth capabilities, the sources said, and it was not clear why the shipment was diverted to Hong Kong. Inexplicably! Were there any Mainland Chinese citizens in the decision loop working at UPS? This is the problem with having normal commercial relations with a bandit state that takes every possible opportunity to rob everyone else. Looping them into a global commercial system just allows them to do things like this.Meh, What can BROWN do for us that our own Postal Service isn't doing, like being the bag man for Democrat Election Thievery...
The case underlines concerns about the handling and security of mail-in ballots, particularly when large numbers of ballots are entrusted to individual postal workers. With investigators still determining whether affected voters were able to cast replacement ballots, the incident could fuel broader scrutiny of election-related mail procedures and ballot safeguards ahead of future elections.On all this repulsiveness I nevertheless bid you all to Have a good day.

If the current track holds it will hit Baja California early next week and keep moving northeast into northern Mexico weaker than it is now.
NHC has it dropping from major hurricane status by Tuesday at landfall. So Southern California will probably get some wind and rain, but Polo will likely weaken some more after going across Baja.

In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on Sept. 18. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.

I'm sure it would be better, but in the great land of feeding 6 with a food budget right now, bacon ($3.99/lb thick cut) and beans (80 cents a can and free) win out over beef, which had no sale this week at any of my 3 shopped stores (and I used enough for the youth dinner I'm not swimming in it in my freezer)...so, we adapt and see if something great can be made sans the beef...
I mean, total protein (bacon and beans) in a chili to feed 6 (and probably 8-10 at my houses) should only cost me $6.50-7 in this - so that's win...Posted by: Nova Local at September 24, 2026 08:03 AM (tOcjL)
52 44 1lb of bacon with probably 3lbs of beans - still deciding what type, but got gifted expiring pinto beans, so those are also looking to show up - with Great Northern or black is still TBD

Pintos, Great Northerns and Navy beans are some of G*d's greatest inventions. Sadly, my tum tum doesn't do too well with them anymore. I sure do miss them.
Perfectly cooked pintos with some diced, raw onion and shredded cheddar cheese on top...yum!

saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional.
Where in the Constitution does it say explicitly that CNN, MS NOW and Politico have greater access to the White House than Tiger Beat, Penthouse, Russia Times, Kat's Korner, The New American (John Birch publication), National Enquirer and Al Jazira, all who have greater publication numbers than those three dead-beat DNC/DSA propaganda operations?Posted by: Community Notes at September 24, 2026 08:07 AM (a3CJ+)

95 Movies! has on a potboiler from 1948, The Amazing Mr. X, with Turhan Bey (he of one of the Universal "Mummy" flicks) and Richard Carlson. I've finally been able to distinguish between Carlson and his lookalike, actor Hugh Marlowe. On screen he is firmer and more authoritative, for one thing.
Marlow played famous detective Ellery Queen on TV in the '50s. I think Carlson would have made a much better EQ. Turns out he started out to be an academic (rather Ellery-like right there), got the acting bug, and not only wrote short stories but also screenplays, and directed a few movies too.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 24, 2026 08:25 AM (wzUl9)

Well... harrumph... orders and procedures. The district judge would need to issue a permanent injunction, and then the circuit court would have to choose to hear an appeal, and then the circuit court would need to hear an en banc appeal, and THEN we, on SCOTUS, could consider the matter.

Finally got a break from my new job and wanted to say hi.
I figure a few folks are interested in my thoughts on the election coming up, so here goes…
First of all, I could be wrong. If I am wrong, then it would be massively wrong, and you should seriously worry about the future of the country because the voters are insane. But I don’t think I am.
Polls – The are wrong this year again. They are so wrong that people who try to be reasonable pundits are now resorting to my -unskew the polls- methods from 2012 (which people still beat me up for). Some of the people doing this include professional pollsters. It is truly amazing to watch. I’m not going to bother trying to make any rational sense of it all, but I think there are 3 problems that are making every poll (and I mean every one of them, including people trying to get it right) wrong.

191 1) Trump negatives – Most of the pollsters are emotionally tied to showing Trump as unpopular, and their samples are starting from the point of getting a -Trump 34%- result. This is polluting their results.
2) White Urban Liberal over representation – The white vote in samples is heavily biased toward the urban vote.
3) Working Class/Rural under representation – The pollsters are not getting enough from this demographic that lean hard toward the GOP. In some cases they can’t even adjust because they are getting NO sample.
So given that the polls are trash, what can we look at?
1) Registration – Since 2024, which was a good year for the GOP, their registration advantage has continued to grow, especially in important states like North Carolina.
2) Redistricting – The GOP won this battle and effectively moved swing districts from states with low election integrity (CA) to states with high integrity (TX and FL).
3) Money – The GOP has a lot more money and is spending it. That money comes from people who believe the GOP is going to win. The GOP is on track to outspend the Dems by about $1B.Posted by: Dave_in_Fla at September 24, 2026 08:55 AM (7lYvC)

195 4) Candidates – Dems are running people who are bad fits for normal voters. A guy who thinks God is non-binary and has a favorite drag queen running against a guy who has won multiple statewide races in Texas, for example.
5) Message – The Dems are running on who can impeach Trump the fastest. That isn’t an exaggeration. I heard the debate for the NH-1 Dem primary, and that was the platform of both candidates. Meanwhile the GOP is running on a massively long list of campaign promises that Trump has kept.

Due process only applies to life, liberty and property.
Which of those interests is there in "access to the press poll at the White House?"
He's saying the media has a property interest in reporting the news--from the White House specifically.
Do you understand how radical this is?
He's saying, like how you own your house, the media "owns" a right to be in the Press Room.
Not you, not the President, not the public, not the government--the media!

203 In the house, the election comes down to about 25 swing districts where the GOP already is in 22 of the seats. GOP is starting from a 203-201 base. A lot of money will be spent in these districts directly, which the Dems can’t match because they are on defense in the Senate and wasting millions in Texas. These districts are also ones that have a higher level of election integrity, so Dem cheating is limited. I think the GOP ends up taking 17 of the 25 (basically holding 17 of the 22 they currently hold) and end up at 220. Note that I also think that our best outcome for 2028 is the Dems taking a 2 or 3 seat edge in the House.
Anyway my thoughts, YMMV.Posted by: Dave_in_Fla at September 24, 2026 08:57 AM (7lYvC)

Nice to see you back, Dave! This point is what i suspect is making Texas polling so bad - pollsters concentrate on the 4 highest population counties, which are all Leftist strongholds.
But Texas has 254 counties, so that leaves 250 that aren’t a part of the polling results at all.
I’ve noticed that Texas Tribube (iirc) runs a regular poll that should be titled “what the left in Austin wants.”Posted by: Tom Servo at September 24, 2026 09:02 AM (Ua/Bh)

231 Polls – The are wrong this year again. They are so wrong that people who try to be reasonable pundits are now resorting to my -unskew the polls- methods from 2012 (which people still beat me up for). Some of the people doing this include professional pollsters. It is truly amazing to watch. I’m not going to bother trying to make any rational sense of it all, but I think there are 3 problems that are making every poll (and I mean every one of them, including people trying to get it right) wrong.

I'm with the lovely and talented Had on this one - but it's based on Teh Feelz, and not any analysis. A good friend of mine (and fellow Moron) heard from his sister and BiL who came back from AK that Sullivan is toast, but he didn't say anything about the oppo dump on the opponent, so that probably didn't factor in the prediction.
It really ticks me off that the media is downplaying the gains on the economy. Bloomberg, for instance, after saying for weeks before the Fed raise that Warsh needed to hike for 'credibility' purposes, now says that they're not sure that hikes will do anything. Meanwhile they still want hikes in the midst of what they say is a very strong economy. They won't say out loud that they want to sabotage Trump, but of course they want to do that. I'm glad that Rs are playing it up.
I am, of course, running in deep blue CT, so I have to be careful about broadcasting my Trumpism. Not going to deny him, but don't want to wave a red cape in front of a Dem bull. They seem to think the Rep seat is in the bag for now.Posted by: Darrell Harris at September 24, 2026 09:20 AM (0CU3H)

294 As far as current law goes, I think he’ll be upheld. Trump and his people tried to do this the quick and dirty way, but it requires a more comprehensive solution. Do away with the White House press room, and arrange for a series of small ad hoc meetings with those who are supportive as the situation calls for. Online meetings with various podcasters would be very refreshing to see.

Daily Tech News 24 September 2026
Top Story
- Nothing happened. Then, after a while, nothing continued to happen.
- Communist stooges are upset that the feds know what they are. (Ken Klippenstein)
They can't deny it, but they are very upset.
Tech News
- VSCode's SSH agent is bananas. (Fly)
Oh, that's from last year. Maybe it's been fixed.
Nope.
The thread at Hacker News is a mix of idiots proclaiming their undying love for the regurgitated dog's breakfast that is VSCode and its SSH agent and despairing sysadmins and people with half a clue generally noting that not only will VSCode fork bomb the remote server, it allows the remote server to do the same to the client.
And it gets worse from there.
- Got Nethack Hack ported to my 1980s 10-bit home computer. It didn't fit, though. The binary was 170k on a VAX - I found an original Usenet post reporting that - but compiled to 280k on my microcomputer architecture, and the emulator only gives it 256k. The VAX wasn't particularly fast which is why it was later eclipsed by RISC architectures, but the code was concise.
So I tried reinventing the UCSD p-System to see if that could solve the problem and it shrank the binary to just under 100k. So now I'm building a Pascal compiler written in Pascal that runs in the emulator and produces virtual instructions that are interpreted by a runtime on the emulated processor.
I did say I was going to give Claude Opus 5.5 a try, and this is what I'm doing with it.

Pixy, I'm pleasantly startled by your musical interludes today. I've never seen Annie Lennox with, you know, *hair*; without that severe short haircut she's quite attractive. "Big Love" I only discovered recently from hearing on my local '80s oldies station. Apparently I missed it on Top 40 radio when it was new, or perhaps my long-time local AM station, which was starting to play about 25% oldies, didn't have it on their playlist.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 24, 2026 06:00 AM (wzUl9)

24 A little less humidity starting today, says the Fox outlet weather maven. I stuck my hand outside the door and drew it back feeling as if I'd dipped it in warm slime, so maybe that "little less" is not here yet. Or their idea of "a little less" is a drop from 80% humidity to 78%.
Still, I need to work out. Maybe just a slow mile today.

Not to mention the brands we grew up with like Pepsodent and Colgate are $4-5 even at Walmart. I buy the Aim brand which is still $1.00.

28 After watching the latest video from ElectroBoom on YouTube about him trying to fix his pressure washer, the end of the video had an unrelated section where he talked about getting that spray filler foam all over his hands and it wasn't coming off, even when trying to use acetone.
So that got me wondering if anyone had ever used that sticky nasty filler foam to vandalize flock cameras.
One quick search later... Yep. Apparently so.

30 I had such a nice time getting my hair cut the other day. I didn't get to see my regular stylist ( whom I really appreciate, and is a dear, and whom I have gone to for over 25 years) because it takes a while to get an appointment and it needed to be cut NOW. The woman at one of those cheaper places told me her mother liked old movies and so she named her after Scarlett O'Hara.

34 @31/Wolfus: You're going to see a lot more of that (taxes going up.) Governments everywhere are already so far in debt that if they were private entities, they'd have already been forced into chapter 13 bankruptcy and liquidated. The fact that they're not says a lot about how lawless they really are.
So, while they continue to operate while they're functionally insolvent, they will show signs of desperation for revenue, and increased taxes, fees, and fines are some of those signs.Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant, a Moron behind enemy lines. at September 24, 2026 06:19 AM (O7YUW)

39 Consequently they no longer have the revenue coming in to support all these antique or legacy government entities or programs. So to compensate they have to be very aggressive on stupid things like garbage cans. Hotel taxes and and speed traps will only go so far. It would seem to setup a very antagonistic relationship between the taxpayers.

45 You've got to grab the new toothpastes and flatten them out, squeezing all the remaining toothpaste to the top.
Then, after you've worked your way up to the very top squeeze really hard with your fingers right in the center of the tube below the top part and then push your fingers upwards towards the tube opening and the last bit will come out.
I've been working on my current toothpaste tube for about a week like this trying to get the last bit.Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 24, 2026 06:46 AM (6ydKt)

Wednesday Night ONT - September 23, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

*** ONT Department Record heatwaves in France set to make champagne strongerChampagne lovers may find themselves getting tipsy more quickly after French producers have been given the go-ahead to raise the alcohol content in a bottle of bubbly for the first time following this summer's record heatwave. Winemakers can temporarily produce champagne with an alcohol content of up to 15% - above the 13% cap, industry officials have said. The extreme heat and drought produced grapes with exceptionally higher sugar levels. Yeast converts sugar into alcohol during fermentation. The temporary increase in champagne's alcohol content is only expected to affect a small number of wines, a spokeswoman for the Comite Champagne told the BBC. During the second fermentation process, which gives champagne its bubbles, "a very small number of wines from this harvest could have slightly exceeded the regulatory limit of 13%, reaching around 13.1% or 13.2%." "Therefore a decision was made to exceptionally and temporarily increase the regulatory limit to 15% - only for this year," she said.
I shouldn't be surprised but I did not know that French regulations set the max for Champagne. That being the case, I'm also surprised at the decision. Only a small number that might possibly go over by a tenth or two, so let's raise the limit by two percent. If you're going over, might as well go big!

The Lady Elaine Fairchilde puppet creeped me out but they never said anything. She's exactly how my 9th grade algebra teacher looked who flunked me (I had my parent's permission to retake the class as she was rude to my mother mid-term).
The best Mr. Rogers, ever, was when he was doped up in a hospital gown for his tonsils removal. I laughed as he almost flashed us all getting on the gurney. Toddler son had no idea what the deal was and the other boy was an infant. Mama gone crazy.

Rethinking that: If the car on the left is a '63 or '64 Ford, as I think it is, this pic must be from no earlier than late 1962, when the first '63s hit showrooms. So, between August, say, of '62 and late '73. The first oil crisis erupted in early '74 and prices such as .29/gallon were a memory.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 23, 2026 10:14 PM (wzUl9)

54 California’s oldest continuously family-owned winery announces Chapter 11 bankruptcy after 168-year run
By Erica Andrews
Published Sep. 23, 2026, 4:40 p.m. PT
California’s oldest continuously family-owned winery has survived earthquakes, Prohibition, wildfires and a pandemic — but a crushing pile of debt has finally forced the 168-year-old Sonoma institution into bankruptcy court.
Gundlach Bundschu Winery announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the sixth-generation family behind the historic estate scrambles to restructure its finances and potentially bring in a new investor.

Looks like the photo was posted to a Facebook account that has since been terminated.
The description at the link I found is:
"Paul Warmack and his Gully Jumpers Robertson County VICTOR 40009
Nashville, TN Wednesday, October 3, 1928 Charles Arrington, f; Paul Warmack, md; Roy Hardison, bj; Bert Hutcherson, g."
But trying to follow the link gets the terminated notice.
Looks like the account was for some oldie band that posted the photo.
And Google AI says:
"This vintage photograph shows a classic mid-20th-century Southland Oil Co. gas station located in Dickson County, Tennessee, which was torn down in the early 1970s."
But then it says:
Location: Dickson County, Tennessee
Brand: Southland Gasoline and Motor Oil

86 JQ, LS, and others: TRex is offline for a bit. Which means we can pick on him at will. Last I heard he had watched King Kong and was inspired to try to climb the Empire State Building (short arms causing some troubles). Apparently instead of scrambling the airplanes, they're rolling in the tanks to deal with him on the ground.

90 Gas Station...I'll go with 1957, Georgia
Based on gas hanging around 28 cents a gallon between 1952 and 1960. The car looks like a mid to late 50's . And Southland Oil Corporation started up in Savanna, GA. They served the southeast, but took a turn rather quickly to a differen focus other than service stations which started around 1952.
So, yeah. 1957 Georgia.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 10:42 PM (dIske)

A '63 or '64 Ford would not have been around yet in the mid-1950s. AI is interesting, but you have to check its answers. I asked Qwant about a street here in town, hoping to find out who it was named for. The AI Flash Answer gave me several paragraphs of "facts," all of which were dead wrong.

109 Assuming that gas price is mid 60s, say 1965.
Median hh income in 1965 was $6900.
Today median hh income is $87K.
1965’s 30 cents is the equivalent of $3.79 relative using the same ratio of income to a gallon of gas. Which is not far from what a lot of the country is paying for gas right now.

128 Champagne region, like many part of France, is regulated.
Unlike Germany, potty times are not posted in public spaces.
Watering is not allowed. Grapes are picked by maidens, pure of heart, but available by the hour after picking completed.
Co-ops, small family concerns and megacorp all will take your money. Just remember,
Tiny bubbles, in the wine, make me happy, make me feel fine.
P.S. for Trekkies, there is a Picard champagne. Collard-Picard and Jacques Picard. Sadly, my time machine is broken so not sure which is related to Jean-Luc. Collard-Picard is a small family business with wonderful champagne and great tour and lunch if you are ever in the area.

Still took an hour before they let me in. And I was the *only* person in the waiting area! At 4 a.m. on a weekday. Was unable to give urine sample, because the problem actually was a freaking kidney stone, blocking me.

I watched the Rt 66 video, the Oklahoma stretch. A professional videographer this guy is not. His delivery is stilted and some mispronunciations were likespeed bumpspot holes.

197 From a friend just now:
"The Finnish term for spending the day drinking at home in your underwear with no intention of going out is kalsarikännit, which translates roughly to "pantsdrunk".
What is Kalsarikännit?
The Definition: It combines kalsarit (men's underwear) and kännit (intoxication or getting drunk).
The Vibe: It is treated as a cozy, deliberate form of self-care and relaxation rather than a wild party.
The Rules: You stay home, wear very little clothing, enjoy your favorite drinks, and let go of the pressure to socialize."

That baby star will become a K5 star when it settles on the main sequence, at about 0.8 solar masses.
Only 30 years ago, we had no proof of exoplanets, that is, if there were planets around other stars. Couldn't see them. And then the tech improved and we started seeing them. There's about 6000 known exoplanets now. When Nancy Grace is through, that number should rise to well over 100K.
That sample of 6000 is very piss poor, not representative. It's only the ones we can see with the current detection methods. Nancy Grace should change that and we should get a better sample.
The question is how typical is our solar system and the planets therein. Are we just run of the mill, or are we some kind of outlier. It seems we should have some "super earth" type planets, which we don't, and that's sort of an ongoing mystery.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 01:27 AM (w6EFb)

That would be something to see. A planet of a few earth masses just crashing into the sun.
As wild as it sounds, there are some anomalies with the Sun, little oddities in all the various details about it's composition and structure. Well, anomalies against some rather complex models of stellar structure and behavior, of course. Sample of one problem again. However, those models do work really well for what can be observed about all the other stars we can see.
At any rate, that super-earth crashing into the Sun seems to nicely account for those anomalies.

Hubby's Dr. recco'd that we elevate the head of bed, so we did that for a long time. Put risers under the head end. Kept sliding down & it became very uncomfortable-- we'd both wake up with our feet hanging over the bottom end!
It helped with our reflux issues, but it was much better to just stop eating within a few hours of bedtime and not feel like we'd slide out of bed while sleeping. LOL."
For my reflux, I tried some apple cider vinegar nightly, which I do believe helped up my pH and digestion, but I mainly think it forced me to think about what I ate and when I ate it and when I went horizontal, etc. Rarely give myself reflux nowadays, vinegar or no.Posted by: Dale at September 24, 2026 01:54 AM (f45WX)

260 Drinking milk can help acid reflux for some people, also drinking water might help.
Famotidine pills help too.
They are sold generic in drugs stores, on Amazon, etc.
They are good because if you know you’re going to eat something that will give you trouble you can take the pill 15 minutes ahead of time and it will prevent bad reflux.
It doesn’t work for everybody, though.
Some people have stomach issues beyond the help of a tiny pill.Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 24, 2026 02:00 AM (6ydKt)

266 >> As far as that hungry sun, hope it's satiated for the next couple of millennia.
You don't have anything to worry about on the hundreds of million year time scales. Probably.
The stability of the solar system is one of the big theoretical topics. The solar system is chaotic and has a chaotic time scale somewhere on the order of few million years. They call that the Lyapunov time or something like that.
All you can do is look at probabilties of bad things hapenning. I think there is some small, but non-zero chance of one of the inner planets being ejected or colliding with another one or the Sun on some billion year time scale, before it becomes a red giant.

I thought I remembered something. Back in 2023, there was some big paper on years of research on the Solar System Stability question.
Some crazy complex math of the chaos that involved an abstract 18 dimensional space (which sort of modelled points of the all the various configurations).
The orbits of the inner planets are chaotic on a say 10 million year timescale. Yet, they've persisted for billions. They showed that short-time scale chaos is just confined to the positions of the inner planets along their orbits. The shape of the orbits themselves are much more stable. But still, they go wonky over several billion year timescales.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 02:40 AM (w6EFb)

Newton himself wondered about this stability. This was centuries before modern chaos, but he noticed the N-body problem was a bit difficult to say the least, and he couldn't guarantee things wouldn't go awry. But he reasoned that God would just step in and fix it.
Leibniz used this to attack Newton, saying he must be of so little faith to imagine God would create something so unstable that he'd have to fix it from time to time.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 02:54 AM (w6EFb)

Why are Somalis shooting up both Wilmar and Edina in the same day? These towns are 100 miles apart from each other.
Why are Somali gangs operating throughout the entire state and nobody is doing anything about it?
Why can’t we denaturalize and deport these bastards tomorrow?
I’m done.
Absolutely Done.
We shouldn’t have to live like this.
I’m seriously in favor of any naturalized citizen convicted of a violent crime being denaturalized and deported now.
9 years ago, believe it or not, I was marching against Trump’s Muslim immigration ban, if that tells you anything about how open borders, far left policies, and failing to adequately prosecute violent criminals have woken me up and changed my mind.
Now, I’m pissed and my empathy is gone and I have zero tolerance for any of this nonsense.Posted by: beckster at September 23, 2026 07:51 PM (kX27y)

The farther he got the dimmer the sun seemed to be but he kept going.

No, just support the arm until disconnected. The two mounting points are oval cutouts, so use a marker around the fitting- that should get you pretty close if not in spec.

Might be that you need a hydraulic press, and suitable pushers and receivers to change the bushings. Which might be an easy job if you have that stuff, and not so easy if you don't. Maybe the "loaded" control arm cots little more than the bushings?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 23, 2026 08:36 PM
yeah, if you have to take the whole control arm off to press in the new bushings on the bench, might as well just pull the old of and replace it with a new control arm
which presents a different set of problems, but is probably easier in the long runPosted by: AltonJackson at September 23, 2026 08:56 PM (AMvSw)

125 Ah see, that's where my pet theory (there's no such thing as gravity, because gravity just mean "heaviness" and what kind of scientific force is that? It's all magnetism and static cling) comes in.
Since it's a hollow-earth type of thing, you could add centrifugal force to keep people on the ground on the inside of the sphere.
Posted by: FeatherBlade at September 23, 2026 08:46 PM (C0Nlv)
In the true hollow earth theory book (yes, I read the 19th century original) they just draw a line on the shell and call it 'where gravity comes from'. Of course this doesn't work with Newton's law. Spinning the earth fast enough for gravity to work would flip everything on the *outside* off into space, followed by the shell destroying itself.

Don't laugh. That's what a lot of the Flerf logic is. Gravity is static cling. Or it's "density" (heavy objects sink, light objects rise). Of course, when point out you need an actual external force to do that, one that defines which way is "up" vs "down", well.....
And one of them was actually reviving an ancient notion of gravity vs "levity".
The Ancient Greek Homos had that somehow. Ironically, the knew the earth was a sphere, but had this geocentric model. Gravity was "heavy things" wanted to go the center, and "levity", or light things, want to go away from the center.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 23, 2026 09:07 PM (w6EFb)

147 FAMILY DRAMA!
There were a lot of stories today people shared in an earlier thread about inheritances.
I'm having my last beer day today. I was taking a break from caregiving. I've been carrying Ralphy, 44 pounds, up and down so many steps 24-7. For months. I was so tired but I'm back baby.
Doorbell.
My 'brother' Steve.
The stoicism videos I've been watching haven't fully kicked in. I have forgiven him, for me.
But still, I hollered like an AWFL,, 'Get the fuck off my property. I'm calling the police!'
Yeah, after taking care of Mom and Dad for 14 years, never wanting more than 50% and being thanked by not even giving me a year to get a life together.
And my biggest worry. Ralphy. My last care-giving duty.
Not a duty. Honour.

I think she will find it rather funny.
Being somewhat serious for a moment, the fact of the matter is that all the senses have a role to play. This is lost on Generation Screens, which have only sight and sound. No sense of touch, and even in terms of sound, it's largely overprocessed.
But for those of us who live in the real world, there is a delightful interplay of feel, taste and smell, three senses lost to the online world. There used to be jokes about "Smell-O-Vison" but smell is actually the most powerful of all the senses, which is why perfume/deodorant is such a huge industry.

These are reportedly the founders of The Last Ditch lesbian/covid panic bar. And yes, this is real. Reportedly. I didn't take the picture myself so I can't be 100% certain.

The feds are cracking down on that thing that never happens.Feds arrest, indict hundreds in Trump voter fraud crackdown: 'Catching it all over the country' The Justice Department says its crackdown on noncitizen voting and election fraud has already produced more than 200 arrests and indictments, with that number possibly doubling soon and state election officials themselves now facing potential charges for looking the other way.
Much more at the link. I shan't believe it. All I know is that America has the most secure elections in history, at least when Democrats win. When they don't win, Jake Tapper writes books titled: Down & Dirty: The Stealing of the Presidency. And I know nothing about Swedish election procedures, but I know it must be the case that this is the Most Secure Election in History because someone from the Global South/Red-Green Alliance won.
Since the Trump Justice Department warned state and local election officials that they could be charged with allowing fraudulent voting activities, more than 200 arrests and indictments have been secured in a crackdown on election fraud and noncitizen voting, and that number could double soon, a top official revealed to Just the News. "I think there are a lot of nervous election officials because I think some of them know that they've been looking the other way when this is happening, and we're catching it all over the country," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said Monday night in an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. Dhillon also hinted at further developments in the coming weeks, suggesting her department has developed evidence calling into question New Jersey's claim that a computer glitch allowed thousands of foreigners to register to vote in that state and about 400 to actually cast ballots in violation of law. "I'm not sure we have the correct numbers from New Jersey. They're not really cooperating with us, and so we will get to the bottom of what happened there. And you know, New Jersey tried to blame a vendor for a mistake or a glitch, quote unquote. But you know, I think there'll be another side to that story," she said. The software vendor Dhillon referred to is IDEMIA, which told Just the News in July that it was the responsibility of New Jersey officials to verify voter registration. ... Dhillon further stated that in the past several weeks, her office has indicted or convicted 67 individuals for election-related crimes, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made more than 160 arrests. ... Left-wing organizations, including the Brookings Institution, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the American Immigration Council, among others, have all claimed that noncitizen voting is either not happening or is incredibly rare. Recent data suggests otherwise. Over the weekend, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News that his agency is investigating 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens and has made 151 arrests. He said his department is also looking into an additional 300,000 cases based on states' voter rolls. "We're scrubbing them. We're comparing them to those that are in the country illegally, those that are legal permanent residents and those that are citizens" Mullin told Fox News contributor and former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.PeterSweden
Investigators are looking into John Brennan's role in the RussiaGate foreign op against the president.
@PeterSweden7
Swedish election update. There's now the possibility of a NEW ELECTION in the affected area after authorities are investigating possible ELECTION FRAUD. A man from Somalia who got Swedish citizenship 7 months ago was elected to parliament for the Left. It's reported that people were given money and pre filled ballots and were driven to voting location. The constituency of Dalarna could see a rerun of the election take place with around 223,000 eligible voters.
More at that link, too.
With the confirmation that former CIA Director John Brennan received a subpoena to testify in the ongoing "grand conspiracy" weaponization probe based in Florida, prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on how the ex-spy was at the beginning, middle, and aftermath of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. ... According to the filing, government prosecutor Kurt Olsen told Brennan's counsel the probe is "far-reaching" and includes "issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond." It is aimed at assessing whether Trump's civil rights were violated. The prosecutor reportedly told Brennan's lawyer he was also the "subject" of a separate investigation for alleged false statements to Congress. ... Brennan's fingerprints were on the opening of the federal probe that became the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump and his campaign. Brennan previously testified to Congress in 2017 that the U.S. Intelligence Community had gathered evidence of contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government by July 2016 to initiate an investigation. It was at that point, he told lawmakers, that the CIA set up a special group with both the FBI and the NSA to probe alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. ... What Brennan did not tell congressional investigators at the time was that he was personally made aware of intelligence that same month that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton personally approved a project to gin up a bogus Russia scandal against her GOP opponent, according to Special Counsel John Durham. Durham had probed the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Brennan even briefed President Barack Obama and senior administration officials on Clinton's plan, but, not only did Obama's team fail to stop it, it allowed the FBI to push the investigation into the same allegations raised by the campaign, Durham noted. Durham ultimately concluded in his final report that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. Durham also found the FBI and Justice Department failed to follow their own standards and allowed the probe to persist with a questionable basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

I'm a lesbian and this is not just a thing in this community. It's a thing in our community at large. The annual Boston Dyke March still requires masking, even though it's held entirely outdoors. I'm really, extremely confused by the masking thing in the queer community. I don't see emphasis being put on other methods of infection control.
It seems to be driven by an effort to be accepting of everyone, but over time it warps to exclude people who don’t have the exact preferred ideology.
"by the time of Last Ditch’s monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school."

Nothing major I don't think. A torn muscle in his hip. AI says he's old and other muscles are supporting or something. No limp or pain. Found looking for something else.
I just freak out at the unknown and it's taken almost a month as the King of Ortho was out of town. I chose him as he's the best. He normally only sees patients up to 50yrs an professional athletes.
We have no idea why my dude was not booted off to a lesser man or sports medicine.
IF he has surgery, based on AI, he would be on crutches for 6wks. We have lots of stairs, which is why I have chosen the basement for him.

He "should" be limping weirdly or having pain based on the tear and retraction. He's doing neither, which is why I think he will be a case study.
I do hope no surgery and brand new pain for him (he has back pain due to long distance running and arthritis from his parents).
I will be a good nursie for him altho I hated ortho in school. Let's hope it does not come to surgery, and if it does he says it will have to be compelling before he will agree to it.
Maybe there's magic that AI doesn't cover. He'd go for stem cell injections or PRP out of pocket. No problem for those.

For 20 Years, Climate Alarmists Have Been Claiming That "Global Warming" Made Hurricanes More Numerous and More Severe.
For the First Time in Over 100 Years, We've Had a Hurricane-Free Summer.For the first time in more than a century, there has been not one single hurricane by September 21st.
Chris Martz
You'd think the media would be talking about this, because they love stories about weather anomalies, but no, it's mostly just Fox and conservative outlets reporting the story. The climate mongers are of course absolutely silent about this. Michael Schellenberger notes that the leftist "climate scientists" have been torturing the data until it confesses what they want it to say for a long, long time.
@ChrisMartzWX Sep 22 For the first time in 112 years, there have been ZERO Atlantic hurricanes by this point in the calendar year. The last time this happened was in 1914, two years after the R.M.S. Titanic sank. 1914 was the year that my great-grandmother was born. It was also the year World War I broke out, and when the Panama Canal officially opened to traffic. Charlie Chaplin directed his first film, Caught in a Cabaret, that year too. Year-to-date accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), an integrated metric that accounts for tropical cyclone frequency, intensity, and duration, is lowest on record in the satellite era (since 1966) with 6.3 units generated. Overall since 1851, North Atlantic ACE is lowest year-to-date since 1929 (although pre-satellite era data should be taken with a grain of salt). To have a TOP FIVE end-of-year total overall, Atlantic ACE must remain below 18.1 units. To have a TOP FIVE satellite-era end-of-year total, ACE must remain below 34.4 units. The latter is almost certainly doable I think. A top five finish since 1851 is going to be hard to accomplish, but is possible. October will ultimately decide our ranking. Interestingly and perhaps unsurprisingly, of the top ten lowest year-to-date ACE totals, all were either El Niño or ENSO netural.
Know-nothing Democrat propagandist Jake Tapper, as non-expert as a non-expert can be in all matters, has been pushing the climate hoax all his life.
Michael Shellenberger
@shellenberger Climate change makes hurricanes more frequent and intense, they said. But for the first time in 112 years, the Atlantic hasn't produced a single one. On storms, sea level, and droughts, manipulated models can show, under equally valid assumptions, the exact opposite trends. For two decades, scientists have said that human emissions have made hurricanes stronger, seas rise faster, and droughts more severe. "This combined PDI has nearly doubled over the past 30 yr," said the 2005 Nature paper by Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with PDI being his index of storm power. Warming raised the odds that a storm reached major hurricane strength by "about 8% per decade," said the 2020 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by James Kossin of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Climate change made a storm like Hurricane Melissa more frequent "by a factor of about 5," said the Nov. 6, 2025 report by World Weather Attribution (WWA). The seas would rise "0.5 to 1.4 meters above the 1990 level" by 2100, said the 2007 Science paper by Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The atmosphere's thirst had "made droughts 40% more severe across the globe," the University of Oxford said in June 2025 of a paper in Nature, which the journal retracted on Sept. 2. "It is likely that the global proportion of major (Category 3-5) tropical cyclone occurrence has increased over the last four decades," the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in 2021. But in every case, the instruments directly measuring the phenomenon in question (storm strength, tide gauges, and rain gauges) show no trend, or no acceleration, beyond natural variability. Atlantic hurricane counts rose across the 20th century only because ships and satellites found storms that earlier detection methods had missed, and the recorded increases "are consistent with changes in observing practices and not likely a true climate trend," concluded the 2021 Nature Communications paper by Gabriel Vecchi of Princeton and Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center. Meanwhile, 2026 is the first year since 1914 that the Atlantic has produced six named storms and no hurricanes. In terms of sea level rise, "There is no evidence for an apparent acceleration in the past 100+ years that is significant either statistically, or in comparison to values associated with global warming," found a 1992 study by Bruce Douglas. That remains the case today. "In both datasets, approximately 95% of the suitable locations show no statistically significant acceleration of the rate of sea level rise," said an August 2025 paper by Hessel Voortman and Rob De Vos, which ran the test at 204 stations in one global network and 39 in another. "Meteorological droughts do not show any substantial changes at the global scale in at least the last 120 years," concluded a 2022 review by Sergio Vicente-Serrano of the Spanish National Research Council, who co-wrote the Oxford paper. "We find no significant acceleration of drought trends across ~99% of quasi-global land area under either PET type," said a September 2026 paper in Communications Earth & Environment by Jiameng Xu, Kaighin McColl of Harvard and seven co-authors, PET being the atmosphere's potential to evaporate water.

37 In a sane world, we'd be 100%, absolutely thrilled to get a break from hurricanes. But there's a little part of me that knows that every little area of calm just gives more cover to the morons in the world (and the oil company liars.)
"Oh, we're supposed to get worse weather??? Well, how come we have fewer storms than ever, brainiac??? You guys keep crying wolf, all part of your liberal agenda."
Hurricanes reduce ocean heat content. In the absence of hurricanes, ocean heat content will rise, causing greater sea level increases. And the additional ocean heat content will accelerate hurricane intensity when they next emerge.
Hurricanes are vital for replenishing underground aquifers and lakes.
The el Nino will indeed be ridiculously strong. Another once in a lifetime event I get to live through!
There's also been a lot of Sahara dust this season. It also slows down the formation of hurricanes.

El Nino strong this year due to climate change and the wind shear is disallowing Atlantic storms to form

I found a very interesting cheapie paperback book at a thrift store: It was the first volume of what was intended to be an annual series, titled something like "Wild Earth: A Compendium of the year's most extreme natural phenomenon: 1972 edition," (forget exact wording of title), which turned out to be exactly that: 300 pages detailed all the crazy weather that happened that year, around the world.
And -- it was indeed "wild"! All sorts of crazy-ass shit happened all over the globe. In 1972. And if that had been in the internet era, each and every incident would have been touted as "proof" that "Climate Change" was happening.
And this of course goes on every year, since the beginning of time -- there is ALWAYS crazy weather SOMEWHERE in the world. That's not "change," that's saying the same. Real
Climate change" would be a year of nothing happening, no extremes and no trends.
But then they'd invent a new crisis:

67 But they are predicting that the routine and recurring El Nino weather pattern, now called a "Godzilla-level phenomenon," is just building up in strength to deliver Super-Hurricanes later on in the season.
Climate scientists (real ones) have understood the El Nino and La Nina effects for a long time.
El Nino causes more wind shear in Atlantic basin, which is deadly to the formation of hurricanes because they need calm wind to enable circulation.
In the Pacific the opposite happens and they get less wind shear and more hurricanes. Since this has been an exceptionally large and warmer El Nino this year the Western Pacific has been getting hammered with major hurricane after major hurricane all summer.
The opposite effects occur during La Nina events when the waters in the equatorial Pacific cool down instead of warm up.Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 23, 2026 05:54 PM (6ydKt)

Why am I not paid a high salary for my empowering women's studies advanced degree? Why don't the members of the WNBA make the millions that the men of the NBA do?

People Not Politicians, the group opposing the redrawn congressional map, filed an emergency motion with the U.S. Supreme Court on Sept. 22 after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that using the 2022 map in the Nov. 3 general elections would be unconstitutional, as the state had already used the redrawn 2025 map in the August 2026 primaries.Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at September 23, 2026 06:14 PM (Cqx++)

When I was about to go off to college my brother and I were walking the fields to the mall when we saw a thunderstorm coming with lightning so we turned back. It caught up with us walking along a tree line towards a metal shed about 20 foot away. Then a stroke hit a tree branch behind us even closer, setting the branch on fire. We took off to the house across the yard and one stroke hit behind us and one hit the TV antenna of the house and it glowed white. The people in the house let us in until the storm passed a bit later.
So lighting may not hit the same place, but it can get pretty damn close.Posted by: Oldcat at September 23, 2026 06:18 PM (uhVAy)

For CONVENTIONAL lightning rods, sure. In the former Yugoslavia (and elsewhere in the Soviet sphere, probably), factories and critical infrastructure were protected by rods tipped with radioactive Cobalt 60, which was supposed to attract lightning due to their ionizing rays or something. I guess they kind of worked, but having exposed chunks of radioactive material everywhere was a problem, especially after governments fell, factories were abandoned, and lightning rods started falling over or getting scavenged for metal...Posted by: Military Moron at September 23, 2026 06:20 PM (UirZC)

Pretty much Chinese influence is wrapped around the entire political and media to the extent that asshole members of those institutions and their miserable grifting families are selling out their native countries just to get a buck. Apparently the defense contractors and many of the senior flag officers were in on it too until Hegseth.
Witness how Lockheed just recently sent ultra top secret F-35 parts to Australia via Chinese owned logistics company--the goods never arrived for the Australians. Or Los Alamos and other nuclear research labs opening themselves up wide to bring in Chicom visiting profs and grad students.
Basically the US ruling class is so resistant to Trump because they have been pimping Uncle Sam to all of our country's strategic and economic rivals so they can take turns screwing us.
I don't think we have ever seen such a group of asshole ruling class folks in the West--even before WWI as they were just stupid, not corrupt and evil.Posted by: whig at September 23, 2026 06:26 PM (E4rtv)

Any arc big enough to bridge that air gap ? Like, you know, lightning ?
It doesn't stop just because it hit the ground. Because it had a bunch of potential just to arc to the ground.
The only effective thing I've seen against lightning ... and John Q Homeowner ain't going to pay for it ... is a very spider-web like grid of ground bars. With welding cable thick conductors to shit bonded to structural steel.

233 In the former Yugoslavia (and elsewhere in the Soviet sphere, probably), factories and critical infrastructure were protected by rods tipped with radioactive Cobalt 60, which was supposed to attract lightning due to their ionizing rays or something.

The decay emits a Beta two gamma rays. The Betas momentum will strip off electrons from the air, and perhaps the gamma might too. I suppose it might make it a better target than average. The cloud chambers you might have seen in physics class use supersaturated air to form water droplets around these ionized atoms as the beta rips past them, making a visible track at each decay.

262 Military Moron, there was an expression back in the Glorious Days of Soviet Power - "Russians, nuclear energy - children, matches".
As nutty as some of the immediate post-war ideas in the US were for using nuclear power and explosives, the Soviets walked the walk. I recall when the word went out that we might need to help them find remote weather stations scattered around the former USSR (powered by fuels suitable for dirty-bomb applications). And of course the long sad record of Northern Fleet health outcomes.
I remember guys involved in scouting out candidate factories for our defense conversion aid program in the 90s talking about how they wore their dosimeter badges under their shirts. One time they came out of a former light industry factory with their badges maxed out, and they were having fun trying to decide where in the building the "stuff" was.Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2026 06:35 PM (U/Byj)

Milei is from a completely different school of economics, and has the benefit of 80 years of failed mainstream economics to both show what to avoid and to give the Argentinians enough desperation to avoid doing what they always have done (Peronism).
Bukele was accused early on with having secret advisors who were chased out of Venezuela by Chavez, and enough desperation to try what had never been done before
Both El Salvador and Argentina are both rich countries, but the governments have stolen that wealth to buy votes and never gave anything back for running the country. They are an example to the rest of the West - it might work since most of South America is rich in resources and labor - and it looks like it might work.Posted by: Kindltot at September 23, 2026 06:45 PM (rbvCR)

Candace Owens and Harvey Weinstein deal? Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for “mercy” during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to “instill fear” in his victims. The New York Post thinks that podcaster is Candace Owens.
“Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by “contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials.”
“Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called “Harvey Speaks,” which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. She didn’t return requests for comment Wednesday.”Posted by: whig at September 23, 2026 06:54 PM (E4rtv)

I Voted for This: Trump Administration Set to Remove 760,000 Fraudulent Enrollees in ObamaCare
All medical fraud requires a "patient" whose name can be used to bill the government for fake services rendered.
Cleaning up the rolls of fake enrollees who are easily used as "Straw Patients" will save billions more in addition to the $2.2 billion which will be saved directly by ending these fraudulent accounts. And deporting the illegal aliens signed up for the fraudulent Obamacare accounts will save even more money.Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials said Tuesday they plan to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges, alleging that the individuals were fraudulently enrolled in the program, or simply do not exist. Vance said the discovery and canceled subsidy payments for hundreds of thousands of people from the exchanges, part of an administration-wide crackdown on fraud, would result in $2.2 billion in cost savings. "We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them," said Vance, who leads a government task force to eliminate fraud. He was flanked by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, and other administration officials. Vance said the cancellation of approximately 315,000 enrollments covering 760,000 people was done in part because the government was not checking whether people enrolled were eligible. Vance said another 419,000 enrollments will get additional verification to make sure they are eligible for the benefit. The Trump administration also announced a six-month suspension on new agents or brokers who sign up enrollees for healthcare coverage, who officials say commit a disproportionate amount of the fraud they uncovered. ... Premiums doubled or tripled for many enrollees, prompting millions to downgrade their plans or exit the program entirely after the Republican-led Congress allowed the subsidies to expire this year. The Government Accountability Office suggests fraud risks in the advance premium tax credit do exist - however it's unclear at what scale. The GAO conducted covert testing using fictitious ACA applicants enrolled in 2024 and 2025. A report released in December showed that the federal marketplace approved subsidized coverage for almost all of the GAO's 24 fake enrollees.
Democrats immediately demanded Trump reinstate the fraudulent accounts -- proving that they're all about the fraud as a means of paying off their (often illegal) voters and then later receiving kickbacks from them.
From fraudulent enrollees, who are illegal aliens, who you claim aren't eligible for Obamacare and aren't on it.
Democratic lawmakers criticized the move to remove enrollees from ACA coverage. Richard E. Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, said "Republicans have already created the worst healthcare crisis ever, but every decision by the Trump Administration is designed to keep making it worse." "As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn't painful enough, they're doubling down to take it away entirely," Neal said.

The ACA got too popular during COVID.
It went from negative approval to +35 approval. Largely because of the temporary subsidies that the OBBB failed to extend.
Remember when the GOP was going to lose the midterms because the ACA was getting too expensive? It was like 12 narratives about the GOP losing the midterms ago, before Goode and Pretti were murdered and all immigration enforcement stopped.
Trump made the move to make the ACA unpopular again by ending the artificial price tags that people were seeing that made it seem so cheap. The political will may or may not develop after that to repeal it. We'll see.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at September 23, 2026 04:42 PM (38W+X)

Their plan is to break things first, and let the courts take so long catch up that it's too late to fix it. In this case, they hope enough people die that it's a moot point by the time the courts step in.
These fucking morons do understand that a good portion of these people are MAGA, right?
Be assured they likely compared the lists against voter rolls so only Dem voters are affected. Leave the majority of the MAGA on there since they've essentially shutdown the majority of rural hospitals - where most MAGA live - they won't use the ACA either, then.
The worst part is they are going after ppl that are on ACA but never had had to use their services. Those are the people you want on ACA, they are low cost and have the ACA as insurance *if* they need it (exactly how insurance is supposed to work)

50 West Bank genocide!
Son of Israel's ambassador to US seriously injured in ramming attack in the occupied West Bank
The son of Israel’s ambassador to the United States was gravely injured in a ramming attack in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.
Neria Leiter, a reservist in Israel’s military, “needs a miracle,” Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said in a social media post. Leiter’s older son, Moshe Yedidya Leiter, who also served in Israel’s military, was killed in Gaza just days after the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack, which triggered the war in Gaza.
According to the military and law enforcement, a Palestinian man rammed his car into a security checkpoint Wednesday afternoon near the settlement of Beit Horon, seriously wounding the officer.
Israeli forces at the scene then “opened fire at the terrorist as he attempted to flee” and killed him. More military forces were deployed in the area in the aftermath.

the way it allegedly works is that an unscrupulous broker signs someone up for ACA insurance. They set it up so that they qualify for $0 premiums and the government pays the insurance companies. The insurance companies then pay the brokers a commission.

It was effectively dead once the premium support disappeared. There is still some viability for some low income people but most of them are medicaid eligible and are being funneled that way.
I wish McCain wouldn't have been an ass on his death bed but the ACA is for the most part dead, and cleaning up the fraud from it will make it even more mostly dead.

The GOP is individualizing races against opponents, focusing on GOTV efforts combined with massive ad spends that define the Democrats as crazy and dangerous.
It's an effort at base turnout (and depressing the Democrat base) that understands that midterm turnout is mostly about getting soft partisans to the polls.
A national message isn't necessary because there's no one national race. You don't run the same campaign against Roy Cooper and James Talarico and El-Sayed.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at September 23, 2026 05:03 PM (38W+X)

101 I queried copilot to get some sense on who benefitted -
Summary -
If multiple rings operated at scale, used fake identities, and exploited switching bonuses - given the size of the CMS cleanup (760,000 people), the multi-year duration, and the known commission structures, fraud rings almost certainly made hundreds of millions — and possibly crossed the billion-dollar mark.Posted by: Chuck Martel at September 23, 2026 05:07 PM (Dv3i1)
102 The worst part is they are going after ppl that are on ACA but never had had to use their services. Those are the people you want on ACA, they are low cost and have the ACA as insurance *if* they need it (exactly how insurance is supposed to work)
I get the "advance premium tax credit" because I's po'.
The thing that gets me is if I had to pay the Obamacare premiums myself, I wouldn't be able to afford them (They're about a quarter of my monthly income), and if I had enough money to afford them, I wouldn't need the insurance, because I could just put that money aside myself and pay out of pocket.Posted by: FeatherBlade at September 23, 2026 05:07 PM (vJrRc)

113 I think part of the op is to plant stories and polls in the media that are negative for Republicans. It is on blast this election cycle. None of the positive on the economy is highlighted or made relatable to people’s every day life. Even Foxnews and the WSJ stories and now editorials are noticeably negative on Trump and Republicans every single day. They don’t have a single good thing to highlight except issues that are abstract. It’s all laced with a negative under current and you don’t need to read to far to read it. They continually play on gas and food prices without giving people a basic understanding about why things are that way and how they are cyclical. For example, I guarantee you by election time gas prices will drop. After the election they will return to normal. That not an accident. It’s on purpose. The other part is they never highlight negative about Democrats nor do they posit how they will govern based on what they say now and how they did it in the past.
There is a huge effort to try and convince people of the inevitability of Democrat majorities in the House and Senate. They truly believe of they keep pushing that people won’t show up.Posted by: Vengeance at September 23, 2026 05:10 PM (Y3swt)

If only they had done that when the Democrat Party had control of the DOJ.
Seriously...people act like literally nothing has changed since 2024 and, in fact, that the Democrat Party has only gotten stronger.
It's literally insane.
DOJ has been pulling back on Democrat cheating efforts for more than 18 months. Laws have been passed at the state level in places like OH that make cheating significantly harder.
Does that mean that CA won't do cheating? Of course not. But CA doing cheating doesn't mean that Jon Ossoff has undone DNI monitoring Fulton County in GA.

I remember a liberal friend in college trying to convince me that "free" government healthcare for all was the sensible solution. "Government is so much more efficient! You reduce all the overhead for profit, business taxes, etc." When I asked if he was in favor of dropping business taxes on health insurance companies then, to help them be more efficient, all the deflections came out. "No, because the saving will go to the CEOs, and not lowering premiums. It's not that much anyway. They have to pay their fair share."Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 23, 2026 05:22 PM (UirZC)

Waves materialize unevenly.
A blue wave will see massive upswings in blue districts while red districts move slightly to the left.
If we're in a wave, the effects of redistricting in 2020 and this year means that the furthest a blue wave could crest would be about 225 seats for the Democrats, and that's assuming they get every toss up.
Senate races make things more complex. The GOP won a net of 2 senate seats in 2018 in a D+9 environment. They drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them. So, they tend to reflect presidential performance in the last general than anything else.
Trump won TX by 14 in 2024.

More AI research (I hate Obamacare even more than I thought!)-
Why brokers exist even though Healthcare.gov is self‑serve:
The ACA is complex
People want help
Brokers are free to consumers
Insurers want brokers to bring in customers
Brokers get paid only if they enroll you
Commissions create incentives (good and bad)
The Marketplace is self‑serve, but the ACA ecosystem is not self‑explanatory.
Commissions are the #1 driver of both legitimate broker behavior and ACA fraud.Posted by: Chuck Martel at September 23, 2026 05:25 PM (Dv3i1)

171 I couldn't get my head around how brokers could just ignore application obligations like SS# and proof of citizenship, but now I know (after looking up the process).
The Fed Govt allowed what is called EDE (Enhanced Direct Enrollment). This allowed private brokers and web based platforms to create their own software to build customized entryways into Healthcare.gov. These dicey brokers just excluded the indentification obligations from their own customized program. Then they bulk loaded thousands of applications, many of which were non-existent applicants. Then they fabricated the financial status of the applicant to get the sweetest premium.
In short, I'm sure there were illegal immigrants taking advantage of the program, but the real fraud falls likely with dishonest insurance brokers and less to do with immigration. Weak government oversight without consideration for abuse is the culprit. And, this was set up this way so that they could expedite enrollments to show a necessary government program.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 05:26 PM (dIske)

One big thing has changed is awareness. Even in 2020 when the fraud was blindingly obvious there many people on our side who claimed that Trump somehow lost to a guy who barely left his basement and even less frequently could complete a single sentence without fucking it up. Yep, Joe fucking Biden got more votes than any president in US history.

Then outsource the prosecution to volunteers. No need for courts or activist judges, incompetent prosecutors and fickle jurors. Will give Caterpillar and the lime business a shot in the arm.
In turn, the Quality of Life for those not engaged in fraud will improve as parks, roads, and public venues become less crowded; utility demand drops, housing and food prices ease due to less pressure demand; insurance rates across all modalities should drop as risks are removed...

NY and CA...nothing...you are correct. NJ, on the other hand removed (I think as of now over 30,000) illegal immigrants from the roll. This doesn't sound like much unless you understand how ballot dumping works. They take a residence and then misrepresnt it as an apartment (which adds residences via apartment numbers that don't exist). They they use those addresses for registrations. For every single illegally registered individual with a residence, there is the potential for about 50 to 100 other votes from non-existent addresses. Most of these illegal immigrants probably don't even know it's occurring in their names.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 05:32 PM (dIske)

Boston Globe Op-Ed: The "Trans Genocide" Is a Lie
And a deadly one, I'd add, because the vicious propaganda of a "trans genocide" is used to rile up the mentally ill to commit murder, as we have seen in the case of the "Ziz" transgender murder cult and, despite what simpleton narcissist Candace Owens says, the assassination of a Charlie Kirk by a gay trans-loving furry avenger.
The media attacks every "right wing conspiracy theory" they claim might lead to violence, while affirmatively pushing left-wing conspiracy theories like the "lynching" trend that does not exist. But so what if some normies get murdered. The important thing is that we jack up Democrat voting enthusiasm. It's a bit unexpected to see the liberal David Mastio writing about the "trans genocide" fiction in the ultra-lib Boston Globe, so I'll award Hufflepuff one credit. Note, however, Mastio and the Globe cannot admit the truth -- that in fact transgenders experience violence at lower rates than normal people, which is pretty amazing considering they tend to work in dangerous fields like prostitution -- and still pretend that this is a big problem.
"The numbers show that trans people are not killed in higher rates than other groups, but for Reasons We're Making Up Right Now we should be allowed the 'real' number to be much higher."
In Trump's America, violence against transgender people isn't going up -- it's going down
The data contradicts the popular narrative. The notion that transgender people face soaring levels of violence is so ingrained in the public discourse, it gets little scrutiny even in the reddest and most trans-rights skeptical areas of the country -- like my hometown. In a front page story this summer on the local Pride march, the Omaha World-Herald uncritically quoted a trans rights activist claiming that a proposed state ballot measure that would restrict transgender girls' and women's participation in school sports "won't actually protect" biological women and girls and "will increase violence" against LGBTQ people. Stigmatizing transgender people, the argument goes, leads to attacks. ... But despite a hostile Trump administration and a barrage of anti-trans legislation across the country, the number of violent deaths the group documents has fallen nearly 50 percent from 53 in 2023 to 27 in 2025. Advocacy groups insist the data is incomplete and shouldn't be used to draw any conclusions about the prevalence of anti-trans violence. That's due, they say, to the bigotry of families and authorities who misname and misgender the victims, making it hard to discern from public records how many transgender people are dying.
Oh they do admit it late in the article. That's something, I guess.
Still it's hard to imagine that as awareness about the transgender community has grown, misgendering and pronoun-swapping have become more common in police reports and news accounts than they were a decade ago, when another prominent LGBTQ organization, the Human Rights Campaign, began publishing its own numbers on violence against transgender people. The HRC tallies, too, find a declining number of violent transgender deaths to mourn. The group found a peak in 2021 of 47 deaths falling to 27 last year. HRC described that 40 percent drop as an "ongoing onslaught of violence." Federal FBI hate crimes data also shows a decline in the abuse of trans people between 2024 and 2025. One hate crime is one too many, but for all the backlash against transgender people, an analysis by the conservative Manhattan Institute shows they actually have a lower murder rate than does the population as a whole.
Meanwhile: Here's the reality.
I offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me. And I can find no evidence that they have disputed the report in the months since its publication.

@wesyang US Democrats have declared forbidding any woman from drawing a boundary between herself and any man who says he is a woman to be the "civil rights movement of the 21st century. They join the center-Left parties across the Western world and Anglosphere in their unswerving commitment to this principle. In the US, it meant allowing a convicted sex offender to loiter naked in a Fairfax County girls changing room for hours. In Australia, it means allowing a man who filmed a video of himself raping a five year-old girl to enter any female bathroom or changing room.Comments

Democrat Ashleigh Aitken’s chief of staff, Berenice Ballinas, made the damning allegations in a Sept. 11 note sent to the city attorney, signed by her lawyer, and reviewed by TimesOC.

(Link to Justice Dept Article: Justice Department Secures Resolution with Cleveland Clinic to End Pediatric “Gender-Affirming Care”
the language used in that report is disgusting:
> federal law in connection with sex-rejecting procedures on minors (often euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care”

I cannot stress enough that Nazis didn't "just round German citizens up and put them in death camps" right away. They increased pressure and violence against vulnerable minorities steadily over the course of 25 years, from 1920 to 1945. Trump was first elected 10 years ago...
Forced conversion therapy of trans people is a genocidal practice (over doubles suicide rates) intended to partially destroy the group. And ICE agents are forcing detained trans people into conversion therapy against their will.

Congressional Report Accuses Jack Smith of Knowingly Violating the Constitution to Try to "Sway" the Election in the Democrats' Favor
One agent testified that Jack Smith had hid from him the fact that they accounts they were surveilling belonged to Congressmen. Almost as if he knew what he was doing was illegal and wanted to limit the number of witnesses.
The House Judiciary Committee concluded in a report released Wednesday that the Biden-Harris administration wielded the Justice Department as a weapon and "ran roughshod" over constitutional protections and the separation of powers in order to spy on Republican members of Congress. The report, which the committee released on Wednesday, summarizes several years worth of investigation conducted by the committee into the tenure of Special Counsel Jack Smith, his investigations into President Donald Trump, and how he used those investigations to obtain privileged phone records from lawmakers. "The Biden-Harris Administration, including Special Counsel Smith, ran roughshod over key constitutional protections to spy on Republican Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate," the lawmakers concluded. "Contemporaneous documents and testimony to the Committee reveal a deliberate assault by the Biden-Harris DOJ on fundamental separation of powers between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch," the committee later added. In all, the committee found evidence that the FBI and Smith's team got phone toll records from 17 GOP members of Congress and text messages from as many as 44, some including information privileged to Congress, the report said. Among those targeted were former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan. The report concluded the DOJ "disregarded the separation of powers to spy on their political opposition." In obtaining the phone records, without notice and ability to challenge in a court of law, "the Biden-Harris Administration violated the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause, a core provision that protects the official actions and communications of Members of Congress and immunizes them from prosecution for legislative acts," the committee said in the report. ... The committee later found that more than 160 Republicans were targeted by Smith's probe, codenamed Arctic Frost. These included individuals like former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, Rep. Scott Perry, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, former Trump attorney John Eastman, and former Rep. Mark Meadows, who later served as Trump's chief of staff. At the time, it was believed that Smith accessed toll records, which do not include the content of messages sent. However, new documents the committee published in July show that, in fact, Smith's team did access content by apparently bypassing the established Filter Team, which is responsible for evaluating and segregating privileged information. This revelation has exposed Smith to possible perjury charges. During his prior testimony to Congress, the prosecutor told lawmakers emphatically, "no," that his team did not request the content of messages, only the toll records. Before releasing the report on Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee made public the testimonies of five former prosecutors on Smith's team and a Justice Department agent during the Arctic Frost investigation.Retired Justice Department Inspector General Special Agent Brian Burnett was quoted in the transcript as saying that during his decades working at the DOJ's watchdog, he never once was asked to collect congressional phone data and did not learn until after he retired in late 2024 that he had unwittingly done so as part of his work for Smith's team prosecuting Trump in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation code-named Arctic Frost.
They also accused Smith of acting as a Democrat Party election-rigging operative.House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is accusing former special counsel Jack Smith and the former Biden administration of trying to "sway" the 2024 election with the Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into President Donald Trump and his allies. ... "The Special Counsel's prosecutors tried to silence President Trump with unlawful gag orders, threatened defense attorneys, mishandled key documents, and broke protocol to release a massive trove of alleged evidence just weeks before the presidential election to sway public opinion," the report said.
This is something special: Biden's/Garland's Public Integrity Section realized that this was all illegal and unconstitutional but decided it was no big deal because, owing to the illegal gag orders they would get liberal judges to impose to keep the victims from knowing their rights had been abused, there was little chance of actually getting sued over any of it."Internal documents show that Arctic Frost investigators, and later Smith's team, had only limited, perfunctory discussions with subject-matter experts in DOJ's Public Integrity Section (PIN) about the constitutionality of these seizures," the report said. "Although PIN cautioned that the subpoenas could be unconstitutional, PIN approved them nonetheless, asserting there was little 'litigation risk' because the gag orders that accompanied the subpoenas would prevent Members from ever discovering the seizures. As a result, Members of Congress were unaware of the Biden-Harris DOJ's spying for more than two years."

NEW: Transcripts released by @JudiciaryGOP once again confirm collaboration between Biden DOJ/Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden White House. Here is JP Cooney--who pushed for investigations into Trump and his circle immediately after Jan 6 then detailed to Jack Smith's team after his appointment in Nov 2022--admitting he communicated with Biden's WH counsel. This aligns with my reporting a few years ago disclosing how Biden DOJ interacted with Biden WH Counsel Jonathan Su in late 2021 and into 2022 before he stepped down in Oct. 2022. More evidence debunking media claims that the Biden DOJ acted independently of the Biden White House--and that somehow President Trump's engagement in DOJ matter is "unprecedented."NEW: Transcripts released by @JudiciaryGOP once again confirm collaboration between Biden DOJ/Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden White House.

Contrast that to what happened when Democrats were in charge. The economic numbers, fraud, abuse of the system, illegal alien invasion, the covid rights violations, the electoral fraud, impeachments, attack on Christians, free speech violations, second amendment violations- the list goes on.

55 We rightfully have the mantra "nothing will happen" on this site. BUT, I have a feeling Jack Smith isn't going to be so lucky.
Just like the whole exercise with the hold out juror on the Clancy case was a message to future jurors, I think the Administration is going to apply that same logic to "special counsel."
I don't see Trump brushing this under the carpet. I suspect certain facets of the DOJ are drawing up indictments and there will be (at the very least) a Grand Jury on some of it. Smith, very flagrantly, ignored the Constitution. Hell, he wasn't even qualified to be a "Special Counsel" based on the DOJ's own policy.
So, I think Jack Smith is going to become an example. Smith better hope the Republicans come out on top in the mid-terms, because if they don't, Trump and his DOJ are going to have an excess of time to address grievances.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 02:47 PM (dIske)

57 Arrested by Jack Smith on jacked up charges (what's new)
Richard Grenell, U.S. President Donald Trump’s Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, has sharply criticized the Hague verdict against former Kosovo President and KLA political leader Hashim Thaçi, calling the sentence “scandalous” and urging Kosovo to move toward dissolving the Kosovo Specialist Chambers.
...
He specifically criticized Swiss judge Guénaël Mettraux, alleging that he had ignored legal issues and instead followed what Grenell described as the politics associated with former U.S. prosecutor Jack Smith.

I wonder if this is accurate. Did an actual judge actually issue a gag order, or was this a case of the prosecutors demanding records and then quoting the law about restrictions on disclosures?

71 Grenell Calls for the Court to Be Defunded
Grenell went further by calling for the international courts involved in such prosecutions to lose their funding.
“All of these courts should be defunded immediately,” he wrote, urging the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Todd Blanche to act.
“Americans are paying for these political prosecutions and this must end,” Grenell added.
He also directly addressed Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, calling on him to act quickly to dissolve what Grenell described as a “foreign court.”
“Albin Kurti must also act quickly to dissolve this foreign court. MPs must work with Kurti to make this happen,” Grenell wrote.
He concluded with a direct statement about Kosovo's relationship with the Hague institution:
“Kosovo does not need a court in the Netherlands.”

Just so clean and innocuous, like a minor lawsuit or something.
And not because "the guy, and everyone around him, we are framing and illegally prosecuting will be in jail for the rest of his life and these convictions we manufacture will allow us to seize all of Trump's assets."
Trump in jail was just the small part of their coup:
--they were going to put Trump in jail for life
- everyone in Trump's administration in jail
- nearly every major elected Republican in jail
- seize all of Trump's assets
They were going to wipe out the Republican Party in 2024 before the Election by disqualifying them from the ballot.
That would have given them the Presidency and super-majorities in the House and Senate.

Ignore the long history of polling before the final polls being very, very wrong and pretend that not final polls now are more right than the final polls from 2 years ago.
Ignore that there have been massive polling failures...this year, mostly because polling firms cannot target the white vote correctly.

I think the polling game is only about fundraising, not voter behavior. I'm sure it influences some voters on the margins, but not enough to make serious differences.
You say that Nebraska Senate is close not to convince anyone to vote, but to convince donors big and small to donate money because it's in reach. Combine that with similar situations in polling in Ohio, Alaska, Texas, and other states, and you create this impression that a blue wave is coming every single cycle.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at September 23, 2026 03:34 PM (38W+X)

291 "Their audience is literally dying by the thousands per day. Average age of their viewers is around 70."
CNN averages 400,000 viewers a day. That kind of ratings would have been a laughing stock in 1990. There are many podcasters and youtube types who get many times that every time they do a show for a few hours.

Sonny Hostin is Beaming With Pride About Being the Holdout Juror That Got a Literal Cannibal Killer Off
A literal cannibal killer killed and then butchered victims and served their meat to the homeless.
That's not a pitch for an A24 horror movie. That really happened in New York City in the 1990s. The killer was called "the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park." I used to live around there (but I have an alibi). Bursting with what David Strom calls "main character syndrome" -- the belief of narcissists that they are the star of the show called "reality" and that everything they do is justified and good because they're the main character of the show and therefore the hero -- Sonny Hostin glowed as she Karensplained that she was the lone holdout juror during the Butcher's trial and spared him a murder conviction. Oh, she also says that Lindsay Clancy is not guilty because of course she does.
Hostin left no doubt about where she stood. "The insanity defense has been around in Massachusetts for 182 years, so I think it's well established," she said. "And I thought, absolutely, she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity." Then Hostin explained where her conviction came from. Before she went to law school, Hostin sat on the jury in the early 1990s murder trial of Daniel Rakowitz, better known as "The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park." Rakowitz killed his roommate, a Swiss dancer named Monika Beerle, and cut up her body in a bathtub. He then cooked her remains into a soup, ate some of it, and handed it out to homeless people in the New York City park. A New York Times article on the case described a lone holdout who "was principally responsible ... for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict." "That was me," Hostin said. "And it was because I saw clearly that he was psychotic." Then she offered her own version of the killing, and it sounded more like a closing argument for the defense than a confession of regret. ... Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn't let her finish. "And you got this guy off?!" she asked, clearly horrified. "That's how much I believe in the insanity defense," Hostin said before wrapping up her account: "And he fed her body parts to the unhoused." And she's proud he got him a not guilty verdict.
Hostin does call the effort by Lindsey Clancy's defense attorney to investigate the holdout juror "despicable." pic.twitter.com/ekk2niLG52

3 Just for context: Left-wing women are constantly online telling women to divorce their husbands over minor dissatisfactions, including just finding some other guy more sexually exciting. AWFULs routinely make novels urging women to abandon their husbands and their children for the goal of selfish self-fulfillment national best-sellers and major Hollywood movies. Eat Pray Love, for example.
Meanwhile, of course, they insist that a (spit) man remain a slave forever to his evil murderess wife.

Don't listen to communists. Communists - including Commie Mommy - are all about destroying one of the unique things about America, which is that we punish people for what they did, not for what their family members did or what their distant relatives did, or for what completely unrelated people who just happen to share physical characteristics with the bad person did.

In 2004, a jury found Rakowitz no longer dangerous but decided that he is still mentally ill and should remain at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on New York City's Wards Island. A judge however found that the jury had no authority to make such a determination and determined that Rakowitz does in fact have a dangerous mental disorder.

45 I grew up with wise, good, heroic women in my life.

They had their problems but they were overall incredibly positive and beneficial to my life.

86 Maybe the entire state of MA should be walled off for the insane. Ship them there til they all eat each other or self mutilation orgies.
I see headlines such as a "mother" yesterday who thought the oven was a crib for her newborn. Light sentence vs doing unto others.
In reality I have to assume, as a juror, she was smoking crack. Therefore insane. Shipped to MA.
Western MA is also the lesbo bar that still wear masks (I did read that entire thing, Ace). To prove my point about MA.
I think the mask deal is wise, based on photos I saw of the patronesses,weirdo orange overall lesbos. To hide the ugly and lessen airborn VD.
I liked their sign that said unhoused are welcome. That term annoys me as well.
Years ago in Vienna we passed a similar lesbo bar. Sign said, "If you are redneck, raciss, or a homophobe do not enter." Had I been alone (without my keepers of dude, son and DIL), I would have entered and said loudly, "I'm all 3, what are you going to do about it?! Give me a gin and tonic or I will gut you like a deer!"
In reality I don't consider myself raciss. Nor am I afraid of homos.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 23, 2026 01:48 PM (hzuYO)

In the before times, I lived in Ithaca, NY.
When I was up there to sell the house, I had some time to kill and went to the Target. When I went through the door, I glanced behind me and saw an old woman with a literal tennis-ball walker thing. I held it for her. As she approached, she said, "You don't think I can open my own fucking door?"

105 I usually agree with Sunny, but she lost me on this one. It's crazy that Alyssa was the voice of reason in this segment. And Star was giving Sunny the side-eye lol.
I found this "In 2004, a jury found Rakowitz no longer dangerous but decided that he is still mentally ill and should remain at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Centeron New York City's Wards Island.
He's gone on to threaten to eat staff at the psych ward Sunny put him in. To be fair, he's undoubtly insane.
The lawyer who represented Rakowitz had one of the best lines during closing argument.
In summary: He told the jury you heard testimony from defense expert witness arguing is was mentally incompetent and prosecution expert witnesses claiming he is was sane. All I know is it would take my 90 year old grandmother 5 seconds to realize this guy is nuts.
Yes I can’t believe it either I hate that she wants to sound relatable to everything it’s getting ridiculous, I use to like sunny she’s becoming more cringe.

My bet is
- she did was not the lone holdout, but it sounds better than saying "yeah, I went along with the group"
- she was not on the jury, but it sounds better than saying "I got a letter to serve but tossed it out. Maybe I could have been on that jury"
- she was not in anyway involved, but it sounds better than saying "yea, I lived in the area, but not at the same time."
Liars hook on to the smallest connection, and then make it all about them. This is how we end up with dozens of people who were "supposed to be on that flight but canceled at last minute" every time there is an incident.

Son's MIL also talks WAY more than me, which is an accomplishment. Extra wacky from travel, we have to assume. Her family hail from Kentucky and are maybe more insane than being from MS. I guess funeral home people as there was some gory discussions before dinner.
I need to join the Carmelite nuns, is my theory today with massive stress. Where no one talks and we pray and do chores and make food to sell. This sounds much better than MAID.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 23, 2026 02:03 PM (hzuYO)

159 my favorite video recently was like this:
a young lady is showing extreme signs of anxiety and fear at going down an escalator (??) and the camera shows people walking by her and ignoring her obvious distress. Finally a guy shows up and offers her help. He explains as they go down the elevator:
"Yeah I just wanted to help you so you'd get out of the way and stop blocking the escalator since this is obviously a video, where's the camera? Oh yeah there it is"
Turns out it was a skit but still, loads of fun.Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 23, 2026 02:04 PM (KyEAU)

2) you do the right thing even if there's a cost
3) ignore the crazies and go on with your life
4) laugh at the laughable
5) a man is not dismayed about poor behavior of those they assist, he does what is right

While working for a NW-based airplane company, I was headed out for lunch and held the door for four "women" who were just behind me. Turns out the local lesbian and dyke association didn't appreciate that very much and bitched that they didn't need a big strong man to hold the door for weak little ladies.
I just told them I wasn't holding the door because they were ladies, but because I was a gentleman. They went ballistic. I just laughed.Posted by: Diogenes at September 23, 2026 02:04 PM (2WIwB)

I did shut the door on our 5yr old psycho girl the other day. She arrived and stood in the door in her school uniform. I said come it so the bugs don't. She looked around and said there are no bugs. Then told me to shut the door so I did once she was on the porch. Wacko child. The week prior she was being selfish with her brother and after a discussion I finally asked her what Jesus would think. She calmly informed me, "He would't care." I almost laughed. She's the one that looks and acts like me and I think we are in big trouble.

213 My own personal opinion is that anyone who kills another individual purposely (not in self-defense, or for valid safety reasons) is INSANE to some extent. Indifference to life is insanity. And, I don't see insanity as an exception to criminality.
This includes someone like a father whose daughter was molested by some character, and the father hunts him down an kills him. That is a crime, and I don't subscribe to the mentality that circumstances lessen the punishment. No free passes.
I don't even give a free pass to someone with a brain tumor that disallows determination of right an wrong. You do the act in whatever capacity...you do the time.

I was still saying "ma'am and sir" when I met my Long Island inlaws.
I have stopped saying this as a ma'am myself now. Sons had to say it to my grandmothers when they were small and visiting MS from FL, who are not Southern peoples.

231 Feminists have for years taught women how to exploit the traditional tendencies of men. Everything from sex, courtesy, courage, polite tendencies and demurral. Men were rewarded with a takeover of their jobs, undermine their role in the family, murdering their progeny in the womb, and apparently after they’re born, turning their sons into girls, or at least neutering them to become effeminate stepford husbands and generally abusing their societal roles.
Some women should remember that when the door gets slammed on the face, some former gentlemen refuses to pick up your suitcase and says “I’m good”, tells you to F off when you support a child murderer or abortion, refuses to let his son be turned into a fag, or waives goodbye when you try to replace God with yourself.Posted by: Vengeance at September 23, 2026 02:21 PM (DGgho)

I realize that many homeless are mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs and like roughing it (as the Brits say).
As a RN in the ED I saw this. Free meds (antibiotics) and a hotel room (with prostitutes) for a few days. They refused a house as they had to do chores and were on lists. The ED is a revolving door for the homeless.
I have urges to yell out my car window at our one scruffy guy on his corner with the trappings and a cell phone. I want to know why he has a cell phone yet needs a few bucks. I control these urges as I am always with my husband when I see the guy in an affluent area.
I never see anyone giving him money, thank goodness. He needs to go to the city with the rest of them and soup kitchens, needles, etc, yada. Or simply a bus ticket to MA. I might ask him this one day when the moon is full.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 23, 2026 02:30 PM (hzuYO)

259 99% of "manners" is just remembering that the other person is also a person.
Hold a door because it's a gesture of service. Say Sir or Ma'am to everyone because it's an acknowledgement that you're willing to be of service regardless of who they are.
Conversely, any formality that has nothing to do with the other person's humanity is really not "manners', anyway, is it? It's just a fad or some kind of cheap grace.Posted by: Warai-otoko at September 23, 2026 02:35 PM (aKiSo)

Variety: CNN Mood "Like a Funeral" After Paramount/Skydance Takeover
But their ratings are so good, why should they worry?
CNN Mood 'Like a Funeral' as Paramount's Warner Bros. Win Casts New Haze on Next Steps
LOL. Their ratings are in the crapper but they're making "some gains" with digital. Like CNN Plus. You remember CNN Plus, right?
Just when staffers at CNN thought the news giant's path to the future was becoming more clear, new fog has set in. In recent weeks, the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet appeared to have found its groove. Yes, its linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump's first term, and there are serious questions about whether they will ever come back. But the company appeared to be making some gains with digital audiences with its recently launched "CNN All Access" subscription service, where CNN has been testing new programming formats.On the traditional side, despite the viewership challenges, CNN has seen personnel like Abby Phillip and Harry Enten gain some traction.
"Some" traction. This propagandist is really straining to find ways to claim that CNN is performing well in "some" ways. They say that Warner Bros. claims that CNN will post a profit this year, but I've heard Disney's Bob Iger claiming everything is going great at the Groomer Network, so I don't put much stock in corporate predictions of plenty. Now for the truth:...
The right has brought "scrutiny" to left-wing media reporting for 40+ years but this was never before seen as a problem. Now that lefties are complaining about editorial decisions, it's a National Concern.
The mood at CNN is "like a funeral," says one person familiar with the operation. CNN personnel have reason to worry. Paramount's management of CBS News has been controversial, and has not been good for the business of the news unit. Changes made under Bari Weiss, installed last year as editor in chief, have brought unnecessary scrutiny to news reports, and anchors have made public entreaties on Instagram when people post notes suggesting that Weiss' background as a digital entrepreneur and provocative opinion writer have muddied the newsgathering at the network.
... But staffers are also concerned about the company's business plans being changed -- yet again. "What an enormous loss and disruption it would be to shuffle leadership for the umpteenth time in the midst -- finally -- of reshaping the business," says one CNN staffer.
Expert opinion: Companies that are performing well are not subject to frequent leadership changes, just as winning teams aren't frequently subjected to new coaching staffs.
It's not unusual for "news" personnel to meet with politicians, as Jake Tapper could tell you of his fly-fishing with Gavin Newsom or freindship-building dinners with Anthony Fauci. But what is unacceptable is meeting with conservative politicians.
CNN employees have reason to wring their hands.... Without a boost from new digital revenue, CNN's business will likely decline, according to projections from Kagan, a market-research unit of S&P Global Intelligence. CNN's cash flow is seen falling to $735.3 million in 2027, according to Kagan, down nearly 10% from $815.9 million in 2025. A projected spike in 2026 is due to midterm election coverage, which typically draws broader audiences. Advertising is projected to fall about 6.6% to $457.6 million in 2027, according to Kagan, compared with $489.8 million in 2025. Cash from distribution, however, is expected to keep rising. CNN must also grapple with how much independence it will have under Paramount. Paramount Skydance CEO has put CBS News into unorthodox situations by holding a private dinner with personnel from the news division and the Trump administration and by hiring a factotum ombudsman to monitor CBS who has staunch partisan ties.News rivals wonder why CBS News seems so eager to put U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth into so many of its programs -- he was a big "get" interview during Tony Dokoupil's first "CBS Evening News" telecast and appeared on last week's season premiere of "60 Minutes" -- when Hegseth's Pentagon has been so hostile to traditional press outlets.
Yeah why would a "news" organization want to interview the Secretary of War during a war? Inconceivable! Now on to the deal struck with the left-wing AGs -- which they admit is largely just a paper notion on a press release.The solution -- for now -- is to be found in the formation of a board designed to govern both CNN and CBS News. Under the terms of an agreement unveiled Monday between Paramount and a set of attorneys general who were blocking the merger, this board is expected to set up guiding principles for "accuracy, independence, fairness and journalistic integrity." ... Such bodies have proven largely ineffectual in the past.
More: CNN staffers are in "a panic.""People are very nervous," one CNN staffer told the outlet. "It's dark. It's like when you do hurricane coverage. You see the storm spinning off the coast of Haiti and moving towards Florida and you're just waiting and you're like, 'Oh, s--t'." "Bloodbath coming, including at CNN," a TV executive confided. "That's the next big step -- slashing and burning," while others also drew death-by-takeover comparisons. The outbreak of fear and loathing at CNN goes back as far as June this year when, as Breitbart News reported, many CNN employees were so worried over the evolving merger they turned their boss's office into a makeshift "psychiatrist's couch," according to a report. CNN staffers were worried over Paramount boss David Ellison's connections to Trump -- as well as that of Ellison's father, Larry, who is a huge Trump donor. ... Now their worst nightmares have been realised.
Hello! Happy Midweek!

1968 Paul Ehrlich, Stanford professor says that we’re all going to be dead in 10 years by the Malthusian overpopulation trap. So all of you go out and adopt one baby and have one or better yet have none and we destroyed the fertility rate.
And then Reagan was running for re-election in 84 and he was going to win against a weak Mondale and they got the – what are we gonna do? - what are we gonna do? We’ve already done the population –

Before that, voice actors were their own thing. After the success of the film with names like Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy, every animated movie needed big names to help sell the film in marketing's mind.

He tells 3 great stories and the 3rd involved him and O'Toole (about 9 mins into the link below). Hilarious. It's bad resolution, but you can hear and mostly see everything. Whole thing is funny...

It appears, since it is difficult for Hollywood to produce a palatable non-DEI motion picture, that a move to animation would be a viable alternative.

The employees at CNN are worried sick that their left wing political activities will be interfered with.
I recall during Trump's first term I was in an airport and CNN was on the TV. (That arrangement CNN had with airports was still in effect then, I gather.) I hadn't watched CNN in years, and I was quite surprised to see that it was now the Anti-Trump Propaganda channel. Every single thing I saw was groups of talking heads agreeing with each other about how bad Trump was. There was no other content, it was all Anti-Trump, all the time. What a bunch of contemptible rats.Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at September 23, 2026 12:49 PM (VWtfl)

Wildwood is the latest film from LAIKA studios who previously made Coraline, Paranorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings.

Gotta disagree with that. Aladdin, Toy Story, Lion King...

Angela Lansbury in Beauty & the Beast, Dom Delouise as the crow in Secret of Nimh, Buddy Hackett in Little Mermaid, Bob Newhart in The Rescuers. Smaller but still other examples that I think of...
And Sam Rockwell may not be a 'movie star', but that doesn't mean he's incapable of being one. Not like he was the star of a big budget thing that flopped. Possible he's not interested or nobody wants him for 'star' stuff. But he was great in Moon and The Way Way Back as the star. Just smaller market flicks...

Digger is now tracking for a $10 million opening.
The movie cost at least $130 million to make.

204 Digger is now tracking for a $10 million opening.
The movie cost at least $130 million to make.
I had a feeling early that it was a massive misapplication of Tom Cruise's star power, which has been fading in the last few years (diminishing returns on the MI franchise being the key evidence). Looks like I was right.

Well, the assertion was in response to "Why does every animated movie have big names?"
And whatever the real reason for Shrek's financial success, you can bet on Hollywood learning the wrong lesson because their thinking is broken and their ability to actually analyze situations is dictated by accident rather than intelligence.
I think Louis B. Mayer understood how to consistently make popular film (not so much run a studio, but that's another thing), and I think precious few in Hollywood have anything like his implicit insight.

The movie execs may be wrong-headed, but I had just been assuming that, lately, actors are up for pay check. But prior to 'Woke 1' (COVID, strikes, industry tanking because public hated all the Woke 1 movies, etc.), there did seem to be a time (wake of Toy Story + Shrek...?) when it was 'cool' to do some voice acting, and actors would brag about it. Maybe they were just more available to the execs in that sense...

The star system only really works when it's an actual, controlled system.

270 You'd think Canada could think of a better name for the suicide pod vs MAID.
DAID
This seems retarded.
I am having a metric ton of stress this week and not sure what the acronym should be for this freak out.
Balancing happy stress (dinners, son/DIL visiting, baby girlie saying my name at one family dinner out of the blue, etc). Then there are health issues with my husband and elderly mother in the same week.
Still not ready for MAID.
I pray a lot instead and will clean out a closet while son/DIL are out having mountain fun today.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 23, 2026 01:21 PM (hzuYO)

He and Thalberg built the machine. When Thalberg died, Mayer proceeded to run the machine into the ground, but what kept it going was the fact that the big movies, mostly musicals like The Spirit of St. Louis, were actually popular with the masses.

CNN averages 400,000 viewers a day. That kind of ratings would have been a laughing stock in 1990. There are many podcasters and youtube types who get many times that every time they do a show for a few hours.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Disentanglement At the personal scale, the destruction of a relationship is emotionally disturbing and painful. Whether it is some formal means of destruction like a divorce or something informal like just gradually or suddenly severing contact, the relationship is wrecked and there are bound to be hard feelings on both sides. Both sides will feel wronged, and neither side is likely to accept responsibility for whatever caused the failure. That's not fun for anyone involved, but it is rare that there is a big blast radius when an interpersonal relationship is destroyed. That is not true when the scale increases and the relationship at risk is not inter-personal but inter-national. That failure of relationships between nation-states are usually complex phenomena and require careful management to avoid courting real harm as the relationship unwinds or - even worse - shifts into actual policy-backed animosity. The worst kind of adjustment is from "friendly" to "unfriendly," skipping the much more manageable condition of "neutral but sometimes cooperative." The conversion into unfriendliness or even hostility is particularly bad when the countries involved are geographical neighbors, and so managing the end of the prior era is even more important. That is the point we are now reaching with the country that has long been one of our most important allies: our neighbor to the north.Canada is doing everything in its power to pivot the relationship with the United States from historical friendliness to active hostility (though Canada would surely swap the country names in that sentence). This is somewhat tragic given the long, rich history of US-Canadian cooperation, essential cultural compatibility and our mutual - if lopsided - economic dependence. Carney has doubled down on everything Trudeau was doing that the US considered untenable to maintaining the status quo. Earlier this year, Canada doubled down on alignment with the CCP, essentially ending any chance at the USMCA surviving - even with changes. As I put it at the time:
Unless something changes, the intermediate-term effects of this breakdown will go well beyond mere trading economics. For generations, Canada and the United States have been vitally important partners to each other. We have been two distinct countries with compatible cultures, economic integration, deep diplomatic ties, stalwart military alliance and general friendliness at the micro and the macro. That is fracturing in real time as Ottawa pursues ever-tighter coupling with Beijing. The obvious distaste Canada's ruling class has for the United States in general and Donald Trump in particular is secondary, but serves to add yet more strain to an already strained relationship. This strain has likely ended the USMCA. Whether it is also the beginning of the end for generally good US/Canada relations remains to be seen.
It happened much faster than I expected, but it is the end of generally good US-Canada relations. Last week, Carney and the EU announced that they are working toward bringing Canada into the EU - sort of. Canada, not being European, cannot join the EU according to the EU's own rules. Not to worry, though - the EU is the floating the idea of creating an entirely new kind of EU membership just for Canada. They're calling it "associate membership:"Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition for Canada to become its first "associate member", calling for closer cooperation on defence, critical minerals and energy security. Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada and Europe were "stronger together" in the face of "geopolitical rupture". His comments came a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed "opening the door" to Canada's associate membership, a status that does not currently exist.
This is about one thing: the pissing match between Red China and the EU and the US. Setting aside the laughable quotes like He said a Canada-EU alliance would create a "beacon for other democracies", while stressing the two sides were not seeking to form a new power bloc and "This is about sovereignty, our ability to live as we wish. We do not seek power to dominate others,", attempting to move Canada into the European empire - and the empire's enthusiasm for it - is a clear signal that our status quo ante is now over. Carney is CCP-first and Europe-second, and has helped transform Canada into an adversary. If we accept that the recent historical norm of close US-Canada alignment is now over - and perhaps we shouldn't, though it looks that way to me - the question for the United States becomes how to deal with it and, by extension, how to deal with the EU. It's a tricky problem because it must balance the mutual pain we can deliver to each other while still marginalizing the other player. There is a lot of trade with Canada and much of it is important. We can live without it, but that would suck and be incredibly disruptive if it happens all at once. Canada is betting that it can replace the US in trade if it disregards its sovereignty and culture and allows itself to be spit-roasted by Beijing and Brussels. Time will tell whether that is true, but the damage will be done regardless. The funny part of this is that most of the United States' actions to date have been around maintaining the status quo with Canada while implementing new policies more broadly. We want a couple of things from Canada, but most of our focus has been further abroad, mostly focused on Red China, Latin America and the EU. By working to help Red China circumvent US trade policy and by aligning with the both Red China and the EU in direct opposition to the United States' goals in those places, Canada has decided to change its status from "neighbor with generally good but sometimes strained relations" to "adversary." Much as it pains me to say it - because, for what it's worth, I generally like Canadians and Canada itself - the US must seize the initiative. With Canada now an adversary, the US should preemptively and unilaterally start implementing policies that reflect the new reality. The US must take action to adjust to the new normal and control the terms of disengagement with Canada wherever possible. This US could consider, in no particular order:
- Secure the northern border. An enormous unsecured border with an ally is one thing, but it must not be permitted with an adversary. Border walls, fewer and more-secure border crossings, permanent increase in Coast Guard presence on the Great Lakes, full inspections of all commercial road and rail traffic, etc. all should be implemented.
- Withdraw from the USMCA and immediately replace it with a new deal - or, preferably, a series of bilateral deals - with Mexico and other Latin American countries.
- Forbid any product manufactured outside of Canada, or manufactured in Canada by foreign companies that are not based in the United States, from entering the United States from Canada. Any company found to be mislabeling goods is banned from any export to the United States, in perpetuity.
- If the EU and Canada work out an arrangement to bring Canada into the EU, withdraw from NATO. It is insane to be the military power guaranteeing the security of what is the new Warsaw Pact.
- Require visas from travel from Canada. Many Canadians actually like the United States and it would be stupid to forbid them to come here, but add friction and make it clear that this is a response to Canadian policy changes, not an attack on friendly Canadians.
- Sever cooperation between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada on policy coordination and information exchange.
- Buy as much Canadian energy as possible. The energy-producing provinces are much friendly to the United States than the political power provinces are, and every drop of Canadian oil that flows here is not flowing to Red China or the EU - and it would build goodwill with potential change-agents in Canada. Are any of those good ideas? I don't know. Most of them probably aren't. Given that Canada has now made its adversarial status crystal clear, however, the US should act first and seize the initiative. It sucks. It would be better for everyone in both countries if Canada's government wasn't doing everything in its power to subvert US policy goals and destroy our once-strong relationship while simultaneously exposing Canadians to tremendous economic pain, but it is. Canada no longer wants to be under the US umbrella, and the US cannot afford tight integration with an adversary - so it is time to begin disentanglementComments

96 You would have us wait until Trump is no longer in office in the hopes that either Canada will reverse the trajectory it's been on for at least 2015 - first election of Trudeau as PM, or that whoever replaces Trump as President will act as forcefully as he in protecting the US?
That seems unwise.
Fair point, but I think it might be a good thing if Trump were to leave. They've painted themselves into a corner because of pride and a desire to stick it to the US, specifically Trump, and once he leaves, they can declare victory, save face, and then do what is in the best interests of the country, as opposed to what that petulant twit Carney wants to do.Posted by: Archimedes at September 23, 2026 11:31 AM (Riz8t)

All of our current adversaries appear to have planned for a world where the crooked Uniparty remained in charge in the US. China, the EU, Canada, Venezuela, Iran, India, all of them. A US political structure dedicated to managing the nation's decline while joining in on the looting of what remains.
It looks like that's their preferred plan for the future, too -- go back to the way things were, hopefully starting this November. I think this election season is going to be ugly.

In 50 years, unless the left is successful in ideologically capturing the children of conservatives, there will be a very conservative U.S.
The "replacement rate" of the country doesn't capture that conservatives, and especially Christians, are raising the next generation. (2 children is a small family at my church.)
Meanwhile, the liberals have on average, less than one child.

The birth replacement rate is very uneven across cultures within America.
Conservatives remain at replacement, 2.1, and have since the 90s.
Progressives went from 2.1 in the early 90s to about 1.2 now.
And within the conservative circle, it's the really conservative ones who are propping up the 2.1 at all by, yes, having lots of kids. Same with my church. I have one of the smallest families (2 kids).

Hope for the future is one of the larger determinants of fertility, that, along costs (implicit and explicit) of raising children.
Deportations and ending welfare magnets are more likely to reset costs of housing, education, medical, etc. and lessen overall taxes that can lead to organic fertility growth.
I would also advise severely restricting prescriptions of psychiatric drugs like SSRIs like they did for opioid pain relievers (less wisely in that particular case better in the case of antibiotics restriction), they have been too broadly prescribed causing healthy people problems over time.Posted by: whig at September 23, 2026 12:12 PM (E4rtv)

218 So applying Nordlinger's variables on regime failure in the case of Canada. A) Resilience--Canada relies on exports for a fair chunk of its income but that is much less than that of taxes. Given the expensive nature of the Canadian welfare state, it lacks the resilience of a rentier state that gets all or most of its income by resource sales. B) Insulation. Canadian government is subdivided into provinces and the central government which adds to its insulation from the people. Furthermore, the wholesale importation of welfare clients that vote Liberal or worse has created a natural leftist ruling class. That being said, economically it is not insulated as a country, specific regions like Alberta are okay, the Laurentian area is NOT if denied US markets and trade leading to voter dissatisfaction in those areas C) vulnerability--federal regimes are always at risk of internal secession as a viable regime to replace the central is already present, it is unable to defend itself having spent the money on the welfare state and immigrants, and its economy relies far too much on the US for trade and China/EU are not replacements in that both want to cherrypick trade items with CanadaPosted by: whig at September 23, 2026 12:20 PM (E4rtv)

No it isn't. It's cut from the "picnic" (the front shoulder) rather than from the "ham" (the thigh of the rear leg).
The flavor is similar to ham, but the texture is a little coarser.Posted by: buddhaha at September 23, 2026 12:23 PM (BTtRr)

In 68 Tricky Dicki was back and so they dreamed up the population bomb.
1968 Paul Ehrlich, Stanford professor says that we’re all going to be dead in 10 years by the Malthusian overpopulation trap. So all of you go out and adopt one baby and have one or better yet have none and we destroyed the fertility rate.
And then Reagan was running for re-election in 84 and he was going to win against a weak Mondale and they got the – what are we gonna do? - what are we gonna do? We’ve already done the population –
Ah, I know what we’re going to do, Nuclear winter…..

Which shows the advantage of the US bicameral legislative system over the Westminster parliamentary system; the lower population states have equivalent power to the behemoths in the Senate.
Parliament in the UK works much better because of the comparatively more geographic compactness.Posted by: buddhaha at September 23, 2026 12:34 PM (BTtRr)

241 Americans are much more worried about jobs rather than inflation. We have 2 million new college grads each year looking for jobs
Useful degrees are ones that prepare you for jobs in the real world. If your degree doesn't do that, unless you or your family have plenty of money already, you wasted it.Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at September 23, 2026 12:38 PM (l3cgK)
