Hollywood: Crap or Rubbish?
Netflix is the most left-wing of all media behemoths -- except for Disney. They're tied.
Netflix has just slashed 1000 jobs.Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab is laying off 6% of its workforce, or roughly 1,000 employees, in its biggest cuts since 2022, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters, as the streaming pioneer faces tough competition for viewers from legacy rivals and YouTube. The bulk of the job cuts would be in Netflix's product, tech, legal and human-resources teams, the email Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos sent to employees on Wednesday showed.They're getting no criticism for this. Leftists play life on its easy settings. WDW_Pro points out that Mark Ruffalo and his other communist antisemite pals attacked Skydance for a year over hypothetical future reductions in workforce. Skydance was going to destroy Hollywood and California itself with layoffs. But when the company he demanded be allowed to purchase Warner Bros. cuts 1000 jobs, he says NOTHING. Because he's a taqiyya communist and lies are like breaths to him. They also point out that the other super-left media company, the Disney Groomer Corporation, just cut 600 jobs. No objections from Ruffalo.
AG
@AGHamilton29 The entire continued freakout over @bariweiss and CBS News is simply because the left believes they are entitled to controlling the media narrative and feel threatened that even one major news organization might present the other side. If you follow the news closely, you will see that they act like a herd and always cover the same stories from the same perspectives. Far more important is what they choose not to cover. The factual stories and perspectives that they simply ignore because they don't fit the narratives that the so many of the activists in their news and editorial rooms prefer. They don't even want people exposed to those stories/views if it's not coming from outlets they can dismiss like FNC or the NY Post because it might allow people who aren't openly partisan choose how they understand these issues for themselves. That's the entire threat. It's not that CBS News might become ideologically right-wing. There is zero evidence Weiss is pushing for them to only report things from that perspective and plenty of evidence that's not true. It's simply that it could expose people to the other side, and that can't be allowed. So the tantrums will continue.
I'm sick of this brain-damaged rummy and I'm glad he's aging like milk.
Actor Ben Affleck went on the attack against those who support the deportation of criminal illegal aliens -- support that has long been bipartisan -- and insisted that supporters off President Donald Trump's immigration policies are rooted in "xenophobia." He also claimed that it is "totally false" that Democrats have been refusing to prosecute illegal migrant murderers and rapists.
Ben Affleck says deportations are driven by "xenophobia" & scapegoating
The idea that criminals & rapists were being ignored [before Trump] is totally false. It's simply a veneer to one of our more ugly tendencies, to seek our own protection at the expense of someone else. https://t.co/TrOF1XmcGY— Ezydu (@ezradulis) October 14, 2026

The trailer for the C.S. Lewis' adaptation of The Magician's Nephew debuted. This is the "modernized" version by Barbie director Greta Gerwig. She gender-flipped the character standing in for God/Jesus, Aslan, who will be played by Meryl Streep. Because eff you, Hollywood makes like four Christian themed movies and that's too many. Any Christian themed movie must be subverted, deconstructed, and "modernized" to not offed TikTok harridans. A Christian story has to be made for atheist efminists. The trailer's getting a lot of praise for featuring an altered version Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Greta Gerwig claims this is the very first time that Led Zeppelin has allowed anyone to use their music in a movie trailer. Except, I guess, for the prominent use of "The Immigrant Song" for Thor: Rangarok. Or "Whole Lotta Love" in the trailer for Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Using a remixed version of a Led Zeppelin classic in the trailer for a fantasy film? What a great, creative, never-been-done-before new idea. Here's the trailer.
I think it suffers from the "Two People Standing in a Room Made Entirely of Greenscreen and Computer Pixels" problem. People are tired of this. We've seen it and seen it and seen it and seen it. And then when Ant Man: Quantumania came out, we decided not to bother seeing it at all. Another fantasy flop, A Wrinkle in Time, also featured "Two Kids Standing in a Room Made of Greenscreen and Computer Pixels" and flopped hard. No one is impressed by this, and no one thinks it looks real. The best part of the trailer, to me, is the beginning, when they're filming in an actual crumbling building in England. The movie cost $280 million. With some saying it cost even more than that. There are reports that the film is "awful."
The InSneider is now further reporting on friction between Netflix film chief Dan Lin and Greta Gerwig over 'Narnia,' the fantasy epic that's reportedly carrying a $280M budget, with some saying it's much higher than that. One source tells Sneider the tension is very real, and that people at Netflix think the movie is "awful," calling it "a genuine problem.” A second source, who attended a test screening over the summer, compared it to Ava DuVernay's "A Wrinkle in Time," the 2018 Disney adaptation that reportedly lost the studio close to $100M. According to that source, the mood in the room was deflated once the lights came up. That screening reportedly led Netflix to order reshoots. The same source flagged a structural issue that may still be fixed in post: the characters apparently don't reach Narnia until the third act. For a movie called 'Narnia,' that's a curious choice. ... [W]hen multiple sources are describing what seems to be a problematic movie, Netflix has reason to worry. I have no idea what the final result will be, but I had also heard about the mixed test screening reactions, but that was also a cut with barely half-finished VFX.

NYC First Lady Painted Portrait of Her 'Inspiration': A Jew-Hating Artist Who Said 'Anne Frank' Is a Hoax, Posted Hitler's Paintings, and Celebrated Oct 7
Rama Duwaji's obsession with the Palestinian cause is shown in her reverence for the violence-tinged painter Sliman Mansour New York City first lady Rama Duwaji's self-declared artistic "inspiration," whose portrait she's painted in tribute, is a radical Hamas propagandist who praised the terror group's leaders as "great heroes," openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack against Israel, and has claimed that The Diary of Anne Frank is a Jewish forgery. Sliman Mansour, a Palestinian artist, was also pleased when a warlike reinterpretation of one of his paintings was used as a backdrop for an angry press conference by future Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, where he thanked Iran for funding Hamas. Mansour died in August after spending decades propping up violent "resistance" movements against the State of Israel. Before that, Duwaji had animated a portrait of the painter and indicated he "inspired the work that I do." "Hi, I'm Rama, a Syrian illustrator and animator based in Brooklyn, and today I'm going to be animating a portrait of Sliman Mansour, who is a painter and sculptor that's inspired the work that I do. Sliman is an artist of the Intifada," said Houston-born Duwaji, the wife of Zohran Mamdani, in a video first posted online in April 2024. The second intifada, in the early 2000s, involved thousands of terror attacks against Israelis, including deadly suicide bombings on buses. It left more than a thousand Israelis dead, mostly civilians. Mansour's work "is about the Palestinian experience under occupation, and growing up seeing his paintings, I was always really inspired by the emotion behind his portraits," Duwaji continued. The video shows her working in a Palestinian-themed studio under a large banner reading "Artists Against Apartheid: Palestine Will Be Free"--a reference widely considered an antisemitic trope. She wears a keffiyeh-patterned headband and even lights a candle using matches from a Brooklyn Palestinian restaurant. "Sliman has been jailed twice since the start of his career," Duwaji says proudly. "And since then, he's inspired many artists after him, including myself."

@CBSNews 2h Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's long-awaited Roadster on Thursday, claiming the electric sports car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than a second, reach speeds of 230 mph and even fly. The vehicle reportedly uses thrusters to achieve its extreme acceleration, though details about its flight capabilities remain unclear. Tesla says production is expected to begin in 2028, with no price announced.
Channel 4 NewsI saw this last night and immediately thought, of course, "AI." NOPE.
@Channel4News 3h Tesla has unveiled its new and redesigned Roadster - a 'flying car' that can turn in the air and land. Developed in collaboration with CEO Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX, it's claimed the Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60mph in less than one second and can hit a top speed of over 230 mph. Tesla demonstrated the two-seater vehicle at a livestreamed event in Texas, showing it driving upside down on a ramp and performing a mid-air flip. Musk told the crowd, "It can basically fly like a rocket", but admitted it's "not necessarily a safety-optimised car." It remains unclear how the proposed flying features would work on public roads, or whether they would be legal. Production is set to start in 2028.
JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground.
The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. One of the most insane things I've ever seen. https://t.co/4tME4yavIh— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 16, 2026
ELON MUSK: “It's going to be pretty wild that you can have a rocket car. The car has attitude control thrusters and main thrusters in the rear, so it can basically fly like a rocket. It could do rolls. It could do crazy gymnastics. Whatever you want, really.
This is not necessarily a safety-optimized car, but it takes the fun meter to 11 out of 10.
This will be an actual car that’s on the roads. I’m not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions. The car can recharge its air tank, so it’s not like you need special propellant or anything like that. It literally is just going to pop itself up and be able to do these maneuvers whenever you’d like.”— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) October 16, 2026

Elon is going for a double catch on the next Starship test flight, Flight 15. The booster will come back and be caught by the tower, which they've done before.
And then, Starship itself will go into orbit for a few loops, then deorbit and come back down to the tower at Starbase and be caught by the tower.
Elon said the last two flights were so accurate, they're confident they can do it. With those splashdowns in the ocean you've seen, they were pretending there was a virtual tower there, and maneuvering the incoming vehicle to align perfectly with that imaginary tower on the ocean surface.

How did she get her Sec. of State job? She was hired by a MAN, her Dem opponent, who negotiated her being part of her administration, one assumes to project party unity and to appease those who voted for her in the primary.
What has Hillary accomplished on her own?
Heck, what has she accomplished, period? I mean legitimately good and legal accomplishments, not "she monetized the heck out of her position at State" or "she and bill accumulated hundreds of millions and DC power via their NGO." Book sales don't count, either, since we no how that scam works.

The Belgians built the main road in the area in 1954, and zero maintenance on the road has been done since the Belgians left.

Heck, what has she accomplished, period? I mean legitimately good and legal accomplishments, not "she monetized the heck out of her position at State" or "she and bill accumulated hundreds of millions and DC power via their NGO." Book sales don't count, either, since we no how that scam works.
She's held a lot of interesting and powerful jobs/positions, yet find someone who can articulate what she has accomplished apart from her stellar CV.
Anybody? Bueller?
I remember during one of her campaigns (against Obama?) that she was bragging about how many miles she put on her SoS plane. That makes her a frequent flier, which isn't an accomplishment. That was the best they could come up with, though.

To give you an idea of how mind-blowingly precise these tower catch maneuvers are, they use what SpaceX calls a "hoverslam". They changed that term from the previous "suicide burn" term (because that's what it is).
Imagine Neil Armstrong, under manual control there at the last, landing the LM on the Moon, using thrusts. He had to slow down just over the surface, and then basically hover for a relatively long time, gradually easing it down, within the limits of human reaction time and all that.
That takes a relatively large amount of fuel. You're basically hovering, just wasting fuel fighting gravity while you gingerly lower it.
Those boosters can't do that. It would take too much fuel. So....

The booster (and Ship) have to retain enough fuel to do the landing burns. Which is fuel that can't be used to push the think into orbit. So, you want to minimize the weight of the fuel you have to keep onboard for the landing burn.
The faster you accelerate, the more efficient it is terms of fighting gravity, and the less fuel required. So...the vehicle some flying it, aiming for the landing zone. At supersonic speeds initially. Now, just at the last moment, you fire the engines just right, thrust vector and attitude have to be dead on the money.
And you go full thrust, decelerating as hard as you can. And you time so just as the landing legs of the vehicle touch the ground (or the catch pegs are in their sockets on the tower) your velocity is zero, and there you are, dead stopped on the ground. An you're out of fuel right at that moment.
The precision required to do that is just mind boggling.

I think it was baked in from the beginning. In the first film (where his mother is the killer), he appears in the final shot, still as a child decades later, and heavily disfigured. It's not a whole lot, but it's not "just a guy" type stuff.
It just grew into something more obviously fantastical as the series kept going.
Except for V. He's not even in V.
Still, it's a stupid series that's only concerned with its own rules in comparison to something like Halloween's sequels.

Part of what makes a monster like Jason so scary is his inexplicable ability to survive. It's the not knowing that heightens the fear.

Yes, it's a balance between drag and gravity losses. On launch, it works out that the gravity losses are the vast majority of the wasted fuel compared to drag.
On launch, you go up a little steeper than the ideal gravity-only launch trajectory. This gets you out of the denser air must quicker, where you can then lean over and start pouring on the horizontal speed.
Coming back in, re-entry, you use that drag to bleed off most of that horizontal speed. On the last leg, before the landing burn, you're going slow enough that's it's all about killing that last bit of velocity with thrust as efficiently as possible.

The Falcon 9s uses the "hoverslam" maneuver. That's because the engines can't be throttled down far enough to just hover the Falcon 9. So they run an incredibly precise landing sequence that calculates that the excess thrust will have the rocket moving at 0 vertical velocity at the exact moment the legs touch the pad. Any longer, and the rocket starts lifting back up. Any less time, and the rocket smashes the landing legs. It's a pretty astonishing feat.
Starship and Superheavy *can* be throttled down far enough to hover. But as you point out, that wastes fuel, so eventually they'll want to get pretty close to a hoverslam type maneuver to maximize payload (maybe).

Hitchcock actually built up Crane as a character in Psycho so that her death would be shocking.
But, the appeal for horror movies like Friday the 13th is never about actually scaring. There's no atmosphere. There's no tension. It's just blunt force violence done with comic timing.
People watch Friday the 13th to laugh, not to scream in fear.

MSNOW Of All Outlets Challenges Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's Lie About Having No Familial Connections to the Muslim Brotherhood
Over the weekend, extreme partisan Kristin Welker asked Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed if he or his family had any connections to the Egyptian terrorist group which begat Al Qaeda and Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood. He said "No," flatly, and Welker did not ask any follow-up questions nor confront him with tweets from his half-sister bragging about his mother's "activism" in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college.
As usual, when a Democrat media operative "asks questions" of a Democrat about a scandal, they do not challenge the Democrat -- instead, they helpfully offer the Democrat an opportunity to deny the allegation without any pushback or interrogation. However, a male reporter at MSNOW confronted Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in an on-the-street interview, and did ask him about his half-sister's praise of his mother for being a member of the terrorist group. El-Sayed sputtered out various defenses, including the bizarre assertion that it's just not a "serious" matter whether or not he comes from a family of terrorists, and also objected to the very idea that he should be questioned about his terrorist ties. In the end, he seemed to suggest that it's just not important whether or not he belongs to a family of terrorists and we should just all MoveOn.org. The new story he seems to have settled on is that he has never spoken with his mother about being a Muslim terrorist so it's not fair to charge him with knowledge of it or call him a liar for denying it. Note that when he denied his mother's membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, he did not say "I never spoke to her about it." He just insisted she was not a member of the terrorist group. Oh, and he claims his sister' reportage of his mother's membership in the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood is just "hearsay" that no one should bother themselves about. Just some "hearsay" from people in the family who are the greatest authorities on the histories of members of the family.Chuck Ross for Free Beacon:
Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo's a terrorist or not. What a frivolous line of questioning! Ask about serious matters like what Trump's plan for reducing the price of arugla is.
Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed dismissed his sister's claims that their Egyptian relatives are members of the Muslim Brotherhood as "hearsay" in a heated exchange with Tom Llamas of NBC News. El-Sayed denied any personal knowledge of his family's deep ties to the Islamist organization. Llamas pressed El-Sayed about social media posts from El-Sayed's sister, Eman Abdelhadi, in which she said her family has "long been" in the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdelhadi said her relatives in Egypt have been "jailed" over their ties to the group, according to the posts, which were first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. She also said that her and El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, was active in the Brotherhood as a college student in Egypt in the 1970s. The posts came to light after El-Sayed told Meet the Press on Sunday that neither he nor his family have ties to the Brotherhood. El-Sayed bristled when Llamas asked him to "just explain" them. "You want to ask me about what was happening in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?" El-Sayed said.
"I get it, but you were asked a question," Llamas responded. "Yeah, I'm telling you, like, we--I have no ties. We have no ties," El-Sayed said. "So your mother had no ties?" asked Llamas. "I have never had these conversations with my mother," said El-Sayed. "Like, you're using hearsay evidence from a tweet. This is not serious." When Llamas noted that El-Sayed has "gone after the president for truthfulness," El-Sayed responded, "Are you insinuating that somehow I was lying?" "I don't know. That's why I'm asking," Llamas responded.No ties to the Muslim Brotherhood here, no siree!
Video of the interview below.
It's not the first time El-Sayed claims to have been kept out of the loop of his Egyptian family's doings. He said as recently as 2016 that he had "dual citizenship" in Egypt and the United States. His campaign now says that statement was an "error" and based on inaccurate information from an unnamed relative. In 2012, he signed an open letter calling on the newly elected Brotherhood to "purge" the press and police in Egypt, the Free Beacon reported. In a since-deleted 2021 Substack post, El-Sayed defended a "friend" of his who was jailed for funding the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, considered to be one of the most violent chapters of the group. El-Sayed's father in law, Tayeb Jukaku, is a longtime board member of the Islamic Society of North America, which federal prosecutors identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group. Abdelhadi, who was arrested last year for assaulting a cop in Chicago during an anti-ICE protest, did not respond to questions about her brother's remarks.
🚨 OMG THIS IS BRUTAL. MI Senate candidate Abdul Mohamed El Sayed has LOST NBC NEWS after they found out he lied to Kristen Welker about being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood
When confronted, he's visibly shaken: NBC: "You've gone after the president for 'truthfulness.' When people ask YOU a question, they expect the truth." 🤯 ABDUL: "Do you think, do you think, are you, are you insinuating somehow I was lying?!" And yet the receipts of his own family stating ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are RIGHT THERE: "My family has long been MB" Not what Abdul wants in October! MIKE ROGERS HAS THE MOMENTUM. Those posts came from his own sister, Eman Abdelhadi. She also said relatives in Egypt were jailed over their ties to the group She wrote that their mother was active in the Brotherhood in college in the 1970s He dismissed his own sister's words as "hearsay evidence from a tweet."

He was the DSA candidate who beat the establishment chosen candidate in the primary (doughy white girl). The doughy white girl was actually the clear choice of the black electorate (she won very large margins in black districts in the primary).
Democrats don't cut their candidates loose after it's "too late", so he's backing El-Sayed until election day. Probably hopes the fake doctor will lose, actually.

Black Democrats are racialist in the primary but partisan in the general.
El-Sayed will win the black vote. He will win it by many dozens of points like any other Democrat.
What will happen instead is that a percentage of black Democrats will simply choose not to vote. Their turnout rate will decline. They will become a smaller slice of the electorate, and suddenly 2% of the electorate that Democrats rely on to win in a closely fought race just won't be there anymore as black percentage of the electorate goes from 15% to 13% or so.

Youth turnout is down anyway with El-Sayed. Youth don't vote in midterm general elections. Enough can vote in primaries to affect things because primaries are small electorates. But midterms with contentious senate elections ain't exactly mayor of NYC elections on some random Tuesday in Spring.

Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, a top donor to a super PAC supporting the left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful, is among the top leaders of an Islamic organization identified by the federal government as a public facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood, a Washington Free Beacon review found. As part of his role with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the federal government linked to the financing of Hamas, Tayeb Jukaku contributes at least $5,000 to the organization annually.
Jukaku has served on the 20-member founding committee of ISNA since at least 2007, according to the organization's magazine, Islamic Horizons, and has been a member of the group for a "long time, cannot recall [when I joined]," ... Federal prosecutors identified the organization as an unindicted co-conspirator in the landmark 2007 terrorist financing case USA v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which culminated in the conviction of the foundation's founders for funneling $12 million to Hamas. ..

Barring some strange, public behavior, she would have been generic Democrat.
El-Sayed has been outright antagonizing Jewish and black leaders in Michigan while he has serious problems with the white working class voters, especially in rural areas, who still call themselves Democrat (and the Republicans as well).
I can't wait for him to lose and for DSA to blame Israel because Schumer is Jewish.

Unlikely. Democrats since 2016-2018 redesigned their turnout model to ballot harvesting mail in ballots. Lot cheaper and easier to send one person out to grab a bunch of ballots to be filled out by their boiler rooms than to actually go and transport their gimmedat clients to the polls. They were also doing things like registering non existent people to factories, shopping centers, vacant lots, etc. and retrieving those ballots to be filled out.
That was an urban cheat machine and in some other democrat voting areas like university towns.
Getting people to the polls to EV or vote on Election Day is a lot harder than getting some low iq gimmedat to give the pretty young ballot harvester their ballot in exchange for a gift card or some other goodie. The gimmedats don't have to even worry about filling it out. Same goes for the nonexistent ballots without voters attached.

However, who's to say how that's been funneled into his campaign of liberal hope.
Meanwhile, VDH has serious concerns about the polls, The Republicans seem to have a nice war chest and for some reason people are donating to the group that wants to tax them out of existence, Must has put in $267 million into races. And I've seen the occasional story "What if the polls are wrong?" and the occasional "Trump will try to steal the election."

The GOP actually did much better work - too many eyes on the prize, and of course with the attempt to bankrupt and imprison Trump being the main effort, I'm not sure they had the setup again to pull it off. It all comes down to GOP turnout. If they are tracking ahead of their normal midterm turnout the GOP is going to win, because the dems are not turning out. Specific House races are too small to say. The fact that the GOP has to defend three times as many tossups in the House means for the dems to not win the House would be a mild upset.

Cheat by mail state, vote early so you can make sure your vote is counted. And if you are going to vote anyway, it allows the party if they are tracking it, to concentrate on other people harder to get to the polls. The parties and the state government (and possibly depending on the state, other ngos) have your voting history before them and can predict based on past behavior whether you will vote or not. Harder to guess who you voted for in some places without party reg. but not impossible.
And the campaigns, parties, and ngos, concentrate on turning out those reliable voters and those that are occasional voters in a tight race.

Senate polling is now herding to 50/50 in most of the races.
Abdul 46 Rogers 44?
Fucking please. That's just saying, "no matter what the final result, I'll be right because of the margin of error."
In most of these races the candidates will be between 51 and 47 percent. And yet for months we've been getting polls with candidates between 57 and 38%.

"Well, you have to believe polling now because a curated average of polls was right at the end," is the saying of an incurious dumbass.
If you're saying, "Harvard-Harris can't be right because it's outside of the generalized sentiment this year," but Harvard-Harris has been the best single pollster for a decade, then you might be retarded.

I checked the Cook list the other day. It is simply not that reliable anymore and I say that as someone that used to use it and the Almanac of American politics twenty year or so ago as data for election models.
This year, control of the House is going to come down to mebbe about 20 races or so. Of that, you will be able to tell one way or another in prior to the election for about half of those based on turnout modeling. And the joker in the deck is that GOP candidates for governor in places like NY and CA are doing well which raises chances for GOP House candidates in those states and contra poorly performing Democrats governor candidates can sink Dems in places like AZ or perhaps IA where close races are ensured by non partisan redistricting commissions writing district lines.
So I would ignore most media House prognostications and just quit worrying about it. Razor thin Dem or GOP victory is possible but money and better candidates than most of the Dems this cycle give GOP a chance. Call it 50/50.

Polling is worse regardless when state races or house districts are involved. The same sample sizes are needed as in a national race but getting the proper electorate for a state or congressional district is damn near impossible now with polling getting 1 out of 100 response rate. That means you weight the polls based on what the pollster thinks is going to be the electorate and most pollsters are doing their gig for the media.
You would do about as good taking a dart to a dartboard and figuring 50/50 in each race.

The complicating factor this year is that the Dem candidates are unusually batty, so historic trends don't really apply. Trump is not on the ballot, and the Dem candidates are so downright weird that it's off-putting.
They found some of the least attractive people possible to put at the top of the ticket, and that's going to have down-ballot effects.
What's weird to me is the complete lack of any down-ballot signs or campaign activity. Did they really think that they'd crush the top and win everything by default?

Dems are strapped for cash this year, GOP is flush but given all the bad things that Democrats have been caught doing to GOP signs, houses, cars, etc. I think a lot of GOP supporters in mixed areas are not putting a sign up because they fear Democrat crazies.

In the summer Kamala was ahead, true. However that lead evaporated into September and October. By mid October it was a dead heat with several polls showing Trump winning swing states. It’s all available online to go back check.
Betting markets had Trump as the clear favorite for the last 2 weeks of the campaign. Polymarket had him steady around 60% and as high as 65% a few days before Election Day.

Yes, they all moved right at the end. Which is how they are all starting to move now. They are going to lose MI. We are going to lose NC it would seem. We probably pick up one of NH, MN, GA though Ossoff is probably moving into it would be a huge upset territory. I cannot believe with what is going on in Fulton county it isn't closer. Some pollsters while noticing a bit of a Harris bump had it as a Trump +1 or 2 from the beginning.
TJM's prediction of same Senate split with a reversal of the House narrow margin in favor of the dems seems the odds on favorite right now.

I seriously doubt you can describe polling methodology and how it is done. So your opinion on the matter is scarcely useful in discourse.
I've done it (not political but other survey research for Census and USDA), used it professionally in research, and had friends that were members of AAPOR that actually ran polls as operation managers and directors. Was there when our university opened its own polling shop where research staff could piggyback and have research questions added.
And the issue was even these polling specialists knew that polling methodology as we knew it from twenty years ago was dying and soon to be dead. This was before 2010. A combination of lying, non response bias, and other factors make them about as useful as a naive assertion that GOP and Dems are 50/50 in a contested race.

She might have been a "place holder". From my perspective, the last two years of Trump's second term are going to be wild. I was surprised at what he has been able to accomplish since the beginning of this term....but I think the motto for the remainder is "no f*cks to give" and that requires more of a bouncer type as press secretary. Someone who commands the room, and Katie Zacharia didn't have that IMO.
It has to be someone who is 100% on board with the policy, and has the tools to explain that policy in no uncertain terms. And, it has to be someone who doesn't mind getting combative using facts and statistics. I think Colonel Allen West would be entertaining in that role. Not sure he'd be up to it on various issues, however.

Child Killer in Oregon Shooting Spree Identified
He was himself killed by a good guy with a gun.
Alas, the killer murdered three children and an adult before he was cut down.Three children and a teacher were killed, and two others critically wounded, in a shooting on Thursday at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, authorities said. The suspect, a 16-year-old male, was shot and killed by a bystander, Bend police said. Along with the teacher, the three children killed were ages 5, 8 and 11, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said in a news conference Thursday night. Two others, a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher, were taken to St. Charles Medical Center with critical injuries. No names were immediately released. Krantz said that officers were called to the school just before 1 p.m. on a 911 call from a person who said they had been shot at several times while in their vehicle by a suspect with a long gun. Emergency dispatchers then received dozens of 911 calls that the suspect had entered the school. The shooter forced his way into the school by "shooting at locked doors," Krantz said. When officers arrived at the school within three minutes of the first 911 call, they discovered that the suspect had been killed by a bystander, Krantz said. "An officer reported that the suspect had been shot by a community member who had seen the suspect enter the school and pursued him into the school and engaged him," Krantz told reporters. After officers entered the building, Krantz said, they found the four deceased victims. Officials would not say exactly what type of weapon was used in the attack or how many rounds were fired. Multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspect used a shotgun. There was no word on a motive.Which causes us to very justifiably suspect it's one of the motives that the corrupt and craven establishment like to hide from the public. The Teen of Obscured Allegiance was armed with a shotgun, the Daily Mail says,
purchased by his mother. So he had the one weapon Joe Biden told people to buy, and it was likely legally purchased by a mother with no criminal record.
A teenage gunman who murdered three children and a teacher an an Oregon school shot through a secure area meant to keep children safe from killers like him, before being taken down by a hero bystander rumored to be a student's father. The as-yet-unidentified 16-year-old was carrying a long gun that he used to shoot the locks out of 'secure vestibules' at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend shortly before 1pm PT Thursday, The Oregonian reported. Those vestibules see visitors granted access to a locked porch area, whose second electronic door then opens into the school once they have been screened. But that supposedly secure system was easily overcome on Thursday afternoon when the shooter shot his way into the special education area of the school and killed three children aged five, eight and 11 as well as a teacher. A seven-year-old child and 54-year-old teacher were also rushed to hospital in critical condition. ... [A teacher] said: 'They were so afraid, the looks on their faces. It was really hard to see, [I] was just trying to calm them down. 'Some kids were praying, some kids were consoling other kids, but doing so quietly because they know you don't make any noise.' Smith and her students were ultimately rescued from being killed by a good Samaritan who spotted the teenager and followed him into the building, shooting him dead shortly after he began his rampage. Dispatch audio suggested the hero was the father of a student at the school, with 'It looks like the shooter has been neutralized, possibly shot by a father at the school' picked up by multiple news outlets. ... One onlooker was sitting in his red Toyota Tacoma idling outside the school when he spotted the teen approaching the Silver Rail building with his gun. Concerned by what he saw, the driver confronted the teen who returned a series of shots at the vehicle. A second good Samaritan then confronted the shooter inside the school and killed him. A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting told The Associated Press the teen used a pump-action shotgun that was purchased by his mother.The killer has been identified as John J. Griffin.
The heroic bystander is also being identified and he is, of course, a Chad.
🚨#UPDATE: Christina Aguayo is now reporting that the bystander who stopped the Silver Rail Elementary shooter is Kaylub Giamanco.
According to a family member, Giamanco was heading home on his lunch break when he heard gunshots near the school where his two daughters attend classes. He lives nearby and rushed toward the scene after seeing the suspect moving toward or entering the building. Bend Police have NOT yet officially confirmed his identity and continue to describe him only as an armed community member. The name continues to circulate based on family statements.— zach bitango (@ZachBitango) October 16, 2026

OREGON: We met the man who stopped the Silver Rail Elementary shooter in Bend. He is a dad of two students at the school. His family tells me he was driving home on his break for lunch when his vehicle was shot. They say he’s struggling with what happened and traumatized by the fact he couldn’t save more people. He’s grateful for those he did save, but wishes he could have done more.

This is retarded. He likely shot out the glass, which is inexplicably, likely just plain, tempered plate glass, rather that wire reinforced glass.
Shooting the locks out on a likely metal door would be difficult and time consuming by comparison.
I'd gladly stand corrected here, but the lure that reporters are idiots with no real world experience is too great.

I would venture to wonder if the tranny=school shooter thing, while not wrong, is coming at it from the wrong direction. I would think that the same kind of kids who develop into school shooters are also the same type vulnerable to being indoctrinated (or even pushed by teachers and other adults) into the trans cult.
So it is more 'yes' than one becomes the other. The same kid becomes both.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at October 16, 2026 01:20 PM (Y/06r)
And will the shooter's family sue the bystander for wrongful death , etc?
Just to be clear, I think the bystander is a f'n hero. Especially if said bystander was himself a minor....

Almost certainly a trannie.
IIRC remember correctly some trannie on their manifestos or maybe online have talked about killed grade schoolers because if they(the tranny) can't live it's best tranny-life and be "genocided" and all, then their(normies) children shouldn't be allowed to live either.
That's why they always attack grade schools aside from pure cowardice.

Honestly if they were to retail this car, people would be MORE likely to do dumb and crazy stuff just to have it land properly.
I would guess that the engines that allow it to right its self and land safely take up the bulk of the interior of the car and only have fuel for a few seconds of thrust. So its utterly impractical but fun to watch.

I think it's all part of the same air pump system. During the presentation Elon and one of the other geniuses describing the car where describing the amount of downforce it creates and says the car can corner at ridiculous speeds, breaking physics is I think the term they used.

You can load a shotgun with different kinds of shells. Some people will have their home defense shotgun with birdshot, then buckshot, then slugs. That way if your first shot doesn't eliminate the threat, each followup is more severe.
Maybe the kid had slugs in addition to buckshot.

He could have legally carried the gun into the school since he was in pursuit of the shooter. But perhaps just having the gun in his vehicle and near the school might infringe on some law, depending on their local laws.
My guess is they do not charge him, since he is the hero and the community might "riot", or vote against whoever arrested him.

In the 70s, a race team came up with what they called the Chapparal, it was a race car with vaccum system that held it to the track with ridiculous downforce. It was able to corner much, much faster than anyone else on the track and was very successful for the few races it ran.
The problem was that the vacuums sucked up not just air but anything else on the track like debris, bits of tires, bolts, pieces of plastic etc and it rained down on cars behind the Chapparal. Other drivers were less than pleased. The concept was banned.

Posted by: bonhomme

Shooting birdshot is stupid practice unless you live in an apartment with thin walls.
And you can still miss with it. Just go with buckshot and be done with it.
Slugs are mainly for where you need massive penetration or you need greater distances like hunting as buckshot fades pretty quickly which makes it more useful for typical self defense scenarios. Cops can find the massive penetration useful like for penetrating car bodies or outside walls/doors but most of us in self defense situations won't.
That big ole chunk of lead slows recovery time between shots, goes through your sheetrock walls with each, and will probably pass through the villain unless you hit something critical.
Plus, firing them enough to be confident of abilities is a stone cold beyoach. So most people don't train enough.

The main reason is that any shot, even birdshot, doesn't spread as much as quickly as people think it does. Even if you get a 10-yard shot in your home, which isn't really likely most of the time, birdshot spreads around 18 inches at that distance. You can easily miss with it, and then whoever is in your house is angry and your ears are ringing.

Also depends on your barrel length and choke.
It's good practice to take your shotgun out and pattern it before deciding on your home defense strategy.
Posted by: bonhomme at October 16, 2026 01:56 PM (mkw2N)
Posted by: No Name Today
======
That is what it is designed for, not self defense. And you should fire patterns, use the correct birdshot size, and figure out chokes as necessary to get the bird of your choice at the distances you are likely to fire at them.
Lot of people just skip that and fire whatever is cheapest and have lousy 'luck'.
Pretty much true that mass murderers seldom try to optimize their ammo to kill people--most of them rely on point blank range shots on motionless victims. If in such a situation, get your ass moving and start throwing whatever at the shooter--human reflexes cause flinching at thrown objects in the field of vision.

With Indy’s actual father introduced in the third film, the character of Brody needed to be differentiated to avoid overlapping roles.

Update so far:
Bend murderer was a 16 year old trans who stole their mother’s shotgun.
Shot at cars on the way to the school
Ended by a reported father of a student who just happened to be there.
School system had earlier banned staff from carrying guns in the school.

Point well, and accurately made. For the un-gunned among us, I would add a couple of details. For 12 ga. 00 buck, 8 pellets is typical but will vary depending on shell length. There all several permutations of shot size/shell length. Just a taste here:
#3 buck pellets are 0.25 inches in diameter
#2 buck pellets are 0.27 inches in diameter
#0 buck pellets are 0.32 inches in diameter
#000 buck pellets are 0.36 inches in diameter

Yeahh, no. For one thing, Brody wasn't any kind of father figure in the previous movies, he was just a colleague who was a bit less crazy. They didn't take any time at all to establish Brody as being not-dad, there was only one 15 second scene. This is just retconning a joke scene and trying to make it make sense.

People want to not kill people but whenever you use a lethal weapon, you shoot to stop them to keep them from doing serious mayhem or death to you. Birdshot can be lethal up close but using a longarm, you never want them that close in the first place. Longarms are far less retainable at short bad breath distances than a handgun for example.
But birdshot in a eyesocket or in the neck or even thighs can enter the brain, shred the arteries pumping blood to the head, or destroy teh major arteries in the legs leading to rapid bleedout.
The lesson is if you are shooting, you already have to be comfortable with the fact that the person may die and that is on them. So use the appropriate self defense ammo and not try to fuzzify or weasel out of the grim fact.

Secretary of State offices publish the numbers. Some individual counties do it too.
There are pockets that are even, maybe even up, from 2022 numbers. But early leads from the start of early voting are eroding fast in most locations, in particularly Ohio which the left has been harping on for weeks. Rural counties have higher turnouts than metros, and Democrats don't win anything other than the metros in Ohio.
NC saw higher day one numbers yesterday than in 2022, and they had a bigger advantage (much bigger) than in either 2022 or 2024 proportionally, but we'll see if that lasts. There are live updates from one county, New Hanover, and they're showing a serious decline already on day 2:

The people doing it on X generally have the voter history files courtesy of the state political parties or affiliated turnout groups. That is how they assume partisanship in states (use their vote in primaries as either R or D) without registered voters. In states with registered voters, they simply use that.
Some states may actually report partisan breakdowns.

You make decent assumptions at the precinct level. Precincts tend to remain relatively stable proportionally from one election to the next. So, assume that the precinct that went 65-35 Democrat in the last two cycles does the same this cycle, and you have a healthy estimate for what's going on now.

Personally, I would harden the exterior entry points first. Doors are a key ingress point and simply putting security screen doors can slow down entry quite a bit. Windows, in really bad places (and also useful in hurricane prone areas, there are either security windows premade or film you can apply that makes ingress more difficult as the film holds the glass shards together when someone tries to break it. And as you say, nasty sticky plants like barberry, pyracantha which is of the devil, and even Chinese holly can make people second guess entry at that point.
Alarms, lights, and cameras also help along with proper inside doors and locks if they get through the security exterior screen door.

HORRIFIC: The 5-year-old boy shot and killed by a 16-year-old gunman John J Griffin II — according to NBC News— at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, has been identified by his father, Kelik Summer, as Rhoam Summer.
Kelik Summer wrote on Facebook: “Hey everyone. Today has been the worst day of my life. My son Rhoam was killed in a school shooting. We are broken and lost, but are surrounded by friends and family who are keeping us safe. I do not know yet if I will be canceling practice on Sunday or if I will need it more than ever. I will keep you posted and if I do decide I need it, I would love a great showing. Thank you for your support.”

Ugh. Hard nope. Want a decent and relatively cheap home defense gun, get an AR in .223/5.56 with an adjustable stock.
In yesteryear, it was a M1 Carbine or a Ruger Mini 14 but even the clones now are expensive. AR's are cheap to shoot, cheap to buy one good enough to defend a home, and most people can shoot a long arm rifle more accurately than a handgun. Easy to dismount and clean, low recoil, and actually choosing the right ammo, overpenetrates walls and the like less than a 9mm bullet. With a thirty round mag, you would rarely have to reload in a basic self defense scenario.
Next up would be a pistol cartridge carbine--a long arm that fires a pistol cartridge. Again, ammo selection for proper self defense is important and that relates to handgun self defense ammo being designed for a certain velocity range for expansion. Firing some out of a long arm can result in bullet fragmentation.

Like in public, I want to be a harder target so the lazy ass low lifes go somewhere else to do their thing. Interviews with scumbags show even some basic minimal tactics like locking your doors, not having flimsy hollow entry doors with cheap locks, and deadbolts can dissuade a burglar or other lowlifes. Ramp it up a bit with cameras, alarm systems, etc., and many will go bother neighbors without those. Career criminals are surprisingly benefit risk oriented.
Even the dumbest type, street robbers, can often be dissuaded if you do your part not appearing an easy target. Head stuck in a phone is just asking to be robbed.

Ilhan "Omar" Disappears; Husband Asked If She's Fled the Country
I mean her current husband, the one with the wine-label "business" that zoomed up to $5 million in value and then was "corrected" down to six buck twenty, not the brother she married to fraudulently obtain a Green Card for.
Dmitri Bolt at Townhall:"Hey Tim, there are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?" a Fox News Digital reporter asked. "You're annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here man," Mynett replied. "No, I just wanted to get your response to everything that's been going on, that's all," the reporter said. "And what the president's saying about the net worth and the investigation. Just giving you a chance to respond."
SPOTTED: Ilhan Omar's husband Tim Mynett snapped at questions surrounding rumors that the congresswoman fled the country following a federal raid by Homeland Security Investigations. He was seen outside their Washington, D.C., home multiple times, but Omar has not been spotted since the raid.
Full story here https://t.co/M8MCCxSsp4— Fox News Politics (@foxnewspolitics) October 15, 2026
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed Tuesday that her office is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures, opening a new chapter in the controversy surrounding the Minnesota Democrat's previously reported multimillion-dollar assets. Speaking on Fox News' "America Reports," Pirro said her office was examining Omar's financial disclosures, which previously showed that the reported value of businesses tied to her husband, Tim Mynett, had surged from as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.

No, that's exactly what it is. And it's not uncommon, especially with "celebrity" wines. They basically just buy the wine (or other booze) already bottled, slap their label on it, and use their celebrity cred to sell it.
Nothing wrong with this -- but celebrities aren't in positions of governmental power like Omar is. I wonder how many bottles or shares of the company were sold to "buyers" solely looking to curry favor with a House member.

The House tradition is to expel members after conviction, I believe, so don't expect action there until then. Maybe a show vote or two where the handful of GOPe House members who always vote against these things vote against it.
But, what matters ultimately is the legal fight. Everything else is a sideshow.

You are correct.
The massive entity you are referring to is MGP Ingredients (Midwest Grain Products). Located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, this historic facility is famously known as the ultimate source behind dozens of well-known American whiskey, bourbon, and rye brands.
For years, it operated as the spirits industry's "worst-kept secret," serving as a massive contract distiller. Start-up brands or "Non-Distiller Producers" (NDPs) source aged or unaged liquid from MGP, finish or blend it, and sell it under their own labels

Also possibly an investor pump-and-dump.
Open up a brand in a trendy, vanity-investment space (like a winery) and solicit investments from rich people.
These investors tend not to care too much about making money, as they are already rich and mainly looking for a vanity investment. "I own a winery" is a big cocktail party flex.
They're also probably looking to curry favor with a House rep.

NC progs did turn out big yesterday in relative terms. Higher than the first day of both 2022 and 2024.
However, the pattern shown in other states is quick erosion of the gains in early voting as Republicans keep voting regularly and Democrats run out their loyalists in the first few days.
The GOP target will be a D+7 result in early voting, or close to it, similar to the results at the end of early voting in 2024.

John J Griffin, a 16-year-old from Bend, Oregon, was identified as the suspect in Thursday's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School that killed four and injured two critically.
John J. Griffin, who was shot dead by a bystander, was identified by NBC News citing three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. Per NBC News, the shotgun that Griffin used for the shooting was purchased by his mother around the 16-year-old's birthday in August.
John J. Griffin's link to Silver Rail Elementary school is unclear as the investigation into the shooting continues. Griffin used a pump-action shotgun and opened fire around 12:30pm PDT Thursday. Three children - a five-year-old, an eight-year-old and an 11-year-old were killed. A seven-year-old student and a teacher were critically injured.

It applies to the Joo haters, but also the trolls in general.
Their attacks on Israel are rewarding, but these rewards are personal rather than political. They get:
A sense of moral purpose
Belonging to a community
An outlet for frustration
A feeling of participating in something important
Their hate is essentially interchangeable, just like a fandom or a narcotic. They are currently targeting Israel because it’s fashionable and the most rewarding due to the efforts of the dealers. This may change in an instant (Remember Free Tibet, Save Darfur?).

Usually authoritarians target those on the margins before expanding their repression. That Trump and Vance are going after a sitting congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, with politically motivated deportation means they have bigger ambitions.
Their push to have the 14th amendment reinterpreted and their push to denaturalize citizens is just part of their overall goal: they want to be able to strip citizenship from anyone for any reason and send them to camps outside of the country. Like the Nazis did.
So stop it. Don't let it happen. Have a quick look at France who's students just stormed Blackrock HQ. They don't fuck about with fash.
Relax. Jeffries is "deeply concerned" and thinks all of this is "relatively" unwarranted. No word from Schumer as he is busy working closely with Fetterman and other Republicans to find more American taxpayer funds for Israel.
Where is Schumer with his chants of "we will win! we will win!" when you need him?

The US authorities have already retrieved one of the MN Somali fraudster masterminds who fled to Somalia and assumed he was safe. He was not.
Ilhan is no doubt much more connected and may be protected by Qatar or one of her other foreign benefactors. However, don't think she's necessarily safe in Somalia.

Usually authoritarians target those on the margins before expanding their repression. That Trump and Vance are going after a sitting congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, with politically motivated deportation means they have bigger ambitions.

Yeah I'm always puzzled by this kind of claim. Nobody wants to put anyone in camps, that's expensive and pointless. We just want them shipped out to their home countries. While I think that denaturalizing people should be an option used more often, it should be restrained to what would commonly be called treason even if it doesn't fit the legal definition. Stuff like "working against your own country" and "promoting another nation over your own country"

This may be the end of IP as a product. The purpose of a patent or a trademark is to guarantee that new ideas get out to the world in return for a limited period of exclusive control. In the AI world, ideas are still a dime a dozen, just the development and exploitation of them is democratized.
It is also the end of financialization of products, and the end of intentional enshittification - in the future, when anyone can develop an idea, but may not have the skills to make it into a product, the real winners are businesses that can both make quality products, and can make them at scale for the market - which a 3D printer or a CNC mill is not able to do yet.

Sadly, that's an easy and obvious one to answer. Who is the richest family in Somalia? Simple... the family that owns Dahabshiil Money Transfer Service. That family is headed by Mohamed Said Duale (Chairman and Founder). Abdirashid Duale (CEO of Foreign Interests).
You will find a Dahabshiil branch and each and every single location on the planet where there are more than a handful of Somalis. Minneapolis has three branches within a 10 block area. Dublin Ohio has a branch. San Diego has a branch. Keep in mind that Dahabshiil is so recent in development that the founder is still active and running the show.
You will find Dahabshiil throughout Europe where you find Somalis. In fact, there is a private Islamic school in Gothenburg, Sweden. Last year is was learned that embezzled funds were ending up in Somalia (most students there are Somali). Rural Gothenburg even had a branch of Dahabshiil.

THE MORNING RANT: Perhaps Cars and Grocery Freezers Shouldn’t Be Subject to Hacking and Bad Programming
Here are three unrelated stories, but they share a theme, specifically that “improving” machinery with complicated software and remote internet access often renders the machinery compromised and inoperable. (h/t to @ComradeArthur for a couple of these tips.)
Rental cars used by Norway’s Home Guard during a large exercise in September recorded video of soldiers, their routes, and the codes they typed into military gates, according to a soldier who took part, Norwegian business daily Dagens Næringsliv reported. The cars were rented by the Norwegian Armed Forces from Hertz in Norway, which belongs to Volvo Cars and, through Volvo, to China’s Geely group. At least two of them were electric cars from Deepal, a brand of Chinese automaker Changan.America’s principled free traders dream of allowing China and its electric spy cars into our market, and if you seek to protect private-sector American industrial jobs from being lost to Chinese state-controlled industries, those same “free traders” will call you a socialist.
The governing FIA said afterwards that "an unprecedented combination of low engine speed, low-grip conditions, wet-weather energy management settings and the Sepang circuit’s sector configuration led to an unintended loss of power for a number of cars."F1 cars are now part electric and part internal combustion, and there is programming required to make the two forms of propulsion integrate. That software apparently didn’t take into account such unforeseen things as low speed and wet roads, which rendered the cars undriveable. Traditional gasoline-powered cars without internet connectivity can drive in pretty much any weather condition. So of course, all the smart people are determined to proceed with technology that flakes out in bad weather, or when software hasn’t anticipated every permutation of temperature, precipitation, rpm, and speed. Any car that needs software updates to keep operating is a car than can be kept from running due to malicious software.
Hackers targeted hundreds of French supermarkets in a cyberattack that reportedly caused refrigerators and freezers to overheat, spoiling food and sparking fires. Fridges at [various supermarket chains] saw fridges heat up to as much as 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight.While this incident was in France, not the U.S., I can’t help but believe that the corporate obsession with automation and elimination of labor expense contributed to this cyber-attack on the food supply. Too many business executives are antagonistic toward the blue-collar tradesmen who keep their machinery running. They desperately want to believe that AI, or software, or a slick presentation from an expensive consultant can rid them of the annoyance of paying professional compensation to a skilled laborer. Remote monitoring is obviously required. Remote access and control, however, is an invitation to destructive hacking. That invitation was obviously accepted.
@ComradeArthur The MBA & Private Equity bros’ war on Labor Expense will tolerate 100% of perishable inventory being lost due to AI/IOT hacking rather than pay a dude with a blue collared shirt to monitor and maintain the freezers manually.

The blue-collar tradesmen share some of the blame for this. When you decouple your salary and benefits demands from any actual improvement in productivity, then of course executives will look for other options. This in no way excuses the poor decisions made by executives in an effort to generate a short-term jump in stock price, and therefore in their bonus package.

Monitoring should be distinct from controls. Monitoring temps can be on the net safely because not a lot that hackers can do with that if the refrigerator controls are hard wired and not net accessible.
The idea of central control is what is driving a lot of the idiots that have been educated beyond their intelligence in our finest schools. They want control over everything except themselves.
Posted by: whig at October 16, 2026 11:11 AM (E4rtv)
Problem is also they want to outsource and centralize monitoring so that they can reduce staff and pay a non-expert (the algorithm does the work!). Was the system broken -- was this an ongoing issue, or was this the folly of needless tech selling people with a functioning system the dream of making is easy and cheap?
So much of tech seems to be "the app/tech thinks for you, isn't that awesome!!?" This is how you get an Idiocracy, disguised as efficiency and smart staffing.

China's strategy is ultimately self-defeating, and we are already seeing it. Because of the "on-shoring" due to tariffs, China's factories are shutting down and unemployment is skyrocketing. Breaking the economy of your primary customer would only exacerbate that, but Communists love infiltration so that's what they are trying to do.

But having lived through the changeover from mechanical to electronic controls in ALL appliances, I see it as a bad deal in most cases - it increased efficiency. A bit. But not in places where it matters a great deal, and the tradeoff was fridges, washing machines, coffeemakers, etc., where a computerized part breaks and you throw the whole g-ddamned machine in the trash because it's not worth fixing.
Then we started connecting them to the internet, and your washing machine spies on you. If your babysitter gets stuck in there, you can't even bang her without Bob from the NSA seeing. And they're now hackable. Some kid in Sweden can crank that sucker on from Stockholm, bust your babysitter and your wiener in two, and put you on the hook for a murder.
It was a slippery slope.

This is what Pope Leo was referring to in his encyclical. When society was still overwhelmingly religious, employers took employee health and the community into consideration. Philanthropists built schools, hospitals and libraries because they valued their community and their nation.
Modern employers are completely indifferent to anything other than making money, and don't care who suffers. If they can save a penny by closing a plan and destroying a entire region's economy, they're up for it.
Ironically, Communist China is the worst offender of all in this respect.

It may not be the sprinklers but the apps to control the IOT item. IOT apps on phones are undoubtedly harvesting information from that phone, how much depends on largely trust.
The other issue is that if you do not use proper security protocols on net access, IOT items can compromise your network easily. Best to have them on a separate guest network even with a separate router if you can.

I worked at a software company for years. One project had a PM overseas at site where a lot of work was being moved to IYKWIMAITYD. He never closed a release, ever. He just kept throwing random ticket fixes in, and each customer's release was different based on when they upgraded. These were not hotfixes or maintenance releases, he just kept everyone working on it past the close date. It was INSANE, no one knew what releases were out there being implemented, it was always "it depends" a years-long rolling window, while the next official release was opened and worked on.

Not sure anymore if that is even the issue. A lot of trading activity now is based on any scrap of information that gets into the algorithms and then causes derivative tails to wag the market dog. So an executive could get rich just by betting using derivative markets on inside information or even inside created volatility by their own actions.
This is what financialization of an economy eventually brings us--not efficiency nor well run companies, but endless seeking a riskless yield and what can be more riskless than knowing in advance an event is about to occur.

But, when you have Very Expensive Repairs, they can get a bit lame about it... for instance, when my water heater went kaput, it was suddenly "well, we're giving you the cheapest one on the market, and if you want better like your old one was, then it'll cost extra and... PS, we'll only cover half the price of that cheap one, anyway."
But all in, it was still a few hundred bucks cheaper anyway, so it's a win.

It's different for consumer products.
That's mostly on the consumer.
For a large corporation, even in France, it should be standard practice to secure their networks end-to-end, especially something as critical as the freezers in your grocery store.
They may have left their IoT freezers open to the entire internet just because it made it easier for their people to monitor and manage the freezers, for all we know.
This was a lesson learned (which happens a lot in cybersecurity due to unknown unknowns), and I bet a lot of grocery corps across the world checked their systems this week.

Although power efficiency is good, there are always trade-offs involved. The more complex a machine is, the more likely a part will fail. My dad had a fridge built in the 1950's that only stopped in the 1990's because a refrigerant line was hit with an ice pick when it was being defrosted. In the last 30 years, I've had to replace my refrigerator at least 3 times and my stove twice, and the last fridge failure (the refrigerant compressor) cost as much to replace as a new fridge.

That being said, if it gets uppity the old mechanical t'stat it replaced is still in the garage ready to go at a moment's notice.

Nah.
Turnout differential for a party out of power at the federal level will get Hochul over the line.
But it'll be closer than Texas senate or governor.
And no lessons will be learned by anyone anywhere about the relative purpleness of any state.

Falun Gong was a threat, not because they were traitors to the CCP, but because of their size and the fact the CCP didn't control them.
All these laws being passed in places like Kalifornia meant to "protect the children" that give Gov't more control and observation over our lives and our vehicles and our appliances aren't meant to protect us, but protect Gov't.

This ties back to the previous thread regarding religious art. The CCP has ordered all the crosses and crucifixes removed from Christian churches and replaced with pictures of Xi Jinping, because he is Mao 2.0.
To materialists, religion is a mortal threat, because it causes people to make "irrational" decisions, like sacrificing for their beliefs or standing up to tyrrany.
And that's why you're seeing so much Christian persecution in leftist states.

Had 4 year warranty on a 65" TV from WalMart, it pooped out at 3 yr and 3 mo.
WalMart honored it and gave me a choice of which brand I wanted to replace it. It was an ONN so I figured I'd try a Samsung.
This is the most complicated piece of shit I've ever dealt with. It wants to go with voice control, I can't figure out how to get my computer to display, it is way to busy for me.

Do NOT connect it to the internet...It's been proven that LG TVs spy on you (recording every device in it's range that's connected to the internet, including your mobile phones) and recording voice and sounds IN YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION.

It's always a state by state thing.
"waves" crest higher in the enclaves of the party being advantaged.
New York is a blue state. Turnout for Democrats will be relatively higher than turnout for Democrats in Texas or even Michigan, which is very much a purple state.
Contentious senate races drive up overall turnout to reflect PVI overall of the state during midterms, while not having that creates vote sinks.
So, New York is still a blue state, so turnout differential will still advantage Democrats. It's just not as blue as Texas is red. Hell, Virginia is probably bluer now than New York is.

Weird shit can happen. Holchul is not a popular governor and gubernatorial races are not as national partisan aligned as senate races are. Often the only escape clause for a bad state government dominated by one party is to vote the other party for governor at times.
KS, AK, or WY are examples of Dems winning deep Red states, MA, ME, and VT are examples of GOP governors of blue state phenomenon. At the end of the day, you get one party in power too long and you end up getting screwed by the in party corruption network getting too comfortable.
Putting in mail in ballots as the primary form of voting is guaranteeing that the corruption cannot be overturned at the ballot box. Which is why Democrats and RINOs love it. Similar gaming occurs in RCV states.

That's mostly on the consumer.
For a large corporation, even in France, it should be standard practice to secure their networks end-to-end, especially something as critical as the freezers in your grocery store.
They may have left their IoT freezers open to the entire internet just because it made it easier for their people to monitor and manage the freezers, for all we know.
This was a lesson learned (which happens a lot in cybersecurity due to unknown unknowns), and I bet a lot of grocery corps across the world checked their systems this week.

I wouldn't even put it on a subnet. Just don't even connect it to ANY networking. Of course, if you're using the streaming services built into the tv, then that will be difficult. At that, connecting it to a subnet does NOT prevent it spying on you - it can still record everything and, if the subnet is accessible to the internet (which it has to be for streaming to work), then it can report that.

Apple's codebase for IOS means most of the browsers ( I was informed that Chrome ironically is not based on Webkit) are simply UI skins over the code base. Main reason I don't have an apple phone--apple wants to lock down monetizing its IOS users as does Google with Android. But Android being open source based rather than closed source based IOS and also lacking the hardware-software ties of a closed garden tech eco system, you have more freedom to avoid crap that doesn't work right. Safari was a reason that I have avoided Apple laptops because I had one about ten years ago as a university provided laptop and I could not readily install what products might work best like browsers.
All my home machines that I use regularly are Linux and down to dual booting windoze 11 on one just to do my taxes on it. Microsux is getting so bad and annoying that I will probably get an Apple Mac cube just to do taxes and dump Windoze permanently.

Every single activity, industry, and sector* that was connected since the web developed in the 90s was in place, functioning, and just as efficient before the web existed. The "benefits" of web connection are trivial. The risks, obviously, are enormous, and were obviously so before the process even began.
* finance might be an exception, and "cybersecurity" should be an issue only in that sector, along with national security of course.

China: Projected to have a population of approximately 1.14 billion (around 1.135 to 1.14 billion) in 2060, according to PopulationPyramid.net based on United Nations data. China's population is in a steady downward trajectory due to low fertility rates and an aging demographic.
United States: Projected to have a population of approximately 389 million to 404 million in 2060. U.S. Census Bureau estimates point toward slow, steady growth driven increasingly by international migration as natural birth increases slow down

Most Samsung TVs I've used have a "Source" button to access inputs.
If your remote doesn't have the Source button you can hit the Home button and scroll sideways to the left on the bottom tiles menu and the source inputs - HDMI1, HDMI2, COAX (Live TV) - are way over towards the end.
Just look for "Source" somewhere and pick the HDMI port you plugged your PC into.

An important thing to check is whether you can manually turn off the microphone in the TV. That helps, a lot. If it can only be turned off via software, then an update can turn it right back on.
Check whether it has a camera built-in. If it does, don't buy that one.
(Sony Bravia meets both of those criteria. Our 15-20yo Toshiba pre-smart TV just died, so I've been looking into this.)
Also, use a separate device to do the streaming. A Roku or Fire stick can be kept from recording, and it won't have any idea what you're watching on the TV apart from its streaming services (DVDs, tapes, other devices, laptop, antenna connection for over-air TV, etc.). (I'm assuming there you plug those things directly into the TV, instead of the streaming device.)

They have a replacement rate below 1...right now. Their average age is about 50.
They will have 1/3 the population size in a couple of generations without a massive reversal.
And that's assuming you believe their stated population numbers, because the Chinese government would never lie about those.

Even for Democrats, the era of looting the government is coming rapidly to a close. Interest payments on debt is why. It is eating the budget now like a giant Pac Man.
Saw that China's debt service is now up to 20 percent of its budget (and its govt debt is about three times its gdp while ours is about 100-110 percent of gdp. Japan is in the same boat. So are France and the UK among other Euro states.
Aging populations make that more and more difficult to provide the economic growth necessary to stabilize that government debt.

The repudiation is going to be inflating it away most likely. Nations that went through IMF austerity measures typically had severe political instability after but the IMF is not big enough to rescue China, Japan, or the US, and possibly not enough for the UK nor France either without the big superpowers putting in a lot of ious to the IMF to bolster it.
I think the Eurozone and UK are simply trying to steal Russia's frozen assets in the West to survive a bit longer which is why they keep supporting Zelinskyy not ending the war.

Not sure about Norway, but in Canada it's a glorious (and recent) past that's just about been erased in cultural memory, even as endless "first nations" nonsense blights the culture (in some cases leading to violence and even more bigotry against civilized elements).

Your sourcing is pretty bad. Questions right now about how close to 1B they are right now. By 2050 I'd guess between 600-650M. If they are right about the shortage of child bearing age women (much lower than the official China numbers) - they won't be able to hold that and could easily fall below 400m by 2075. They are in a world of hurt. The country won't be able to hold together.

I once read an art historian's take on the oddly elongated figures sometimes painted by El Greco. He said the elongated central figures in many of his paintings were probably done that way because the paintings were placed high above and thus became normally proportioned when viewed from below.

Idolatry is where you build something and then try to imbue it with a spirit and offer that spirit sacrifices. It is described in detail in the Bible.
The purpose of sacred images is to turn our minds toward God, and contemplate salvation history. "Conversion by beauty" is very much a thing.

Idolatry is venerating or esteeming anything as equal to or higher than God. It doesn't even have to be in a particularly religious context. I'm pretty sure I committed idolatry in my admiration of certain young women when I was a teenager.

Domenikos Theotokopoulos
Commentary
El Greco started his career as a painter of religious icons in Greece and was prolific in the production of sacred works, often making several versions of a single composition.
The bearded man in this painting is a representation of St. Jerome, the fourth-century Roman scholar and hermit saint best remembered for his translation of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin, making it more broadly accessible. Wearing an anachronistic crimson cardinal's robe, the saint points to the words of the Bible with the elongated fingers characteristic of El Greco's paintings. El Greco signed his name in Greek on the right side of this canvas, which may be one of two paintings of St. Jerome listed in the 1614 inventory of the artist's studio.

The painting seems off. The bearded man's head and long beard are so narrow, his shoulders under the cloak too broad. And the other parts of the bearded man we see from under the cloak - his arms, hands - also seem too long. (Maybe the cloak threw off proportion.)

That's why we have lots of sacred images and in our house, constantly reminding us of what is important. We didn't used to, and for folks who have been around and might be wondering why I'm not nearly as mean to trolls as I used to be, it's because when I look up, there's Jesus, and I have to do the ol' type-delete thing.

I disagree, obviously. Christian art, especially when produced by masters such as El Greco and Rubens, is focused on what the painting or sculpture represents, not the media used to convey the feeling the objects evoke.
Insofar as what Christ actually looked like, no serious student of the Christian New Testament denies The Lord's Middle Eastern, Semitic heritage. Jesus of Nazareth was/is Jewish so He probably looked like a typical Jewish male of that era. That said, he is represented as a black African on the walls of Ethiopian churches, for example; as Asian in Chinese & other Asian churches; as white in European art. People see Him as one of their own. Nothing wrong with that.
The Chinese communists understand the power of religious art. Paintings of Christ in state-approved churches were replaced with pictures of Xi Jinping. Problem solved, I suppose.

I talk about this a lot, in terms of panther pits, canals, knouters, rape dogs, and so forth. But those are obviously just jokes. Mostly. Well, partly. Product contains at least 1% joke.
But, back in '17, I came up with a serious proposal for a real Constitutional amendment, and I stick by it.
1.) The Democrats, all other left-of-center Parties, and all affiliated NGO/NPOs are dissolved and proscri.
2.) All their living current and former elected officials, appointed officials, Party delegates, and corporate boards are jailed for life. Their assets will be collected by the Treasury, or paid out to the citizen who captured the bandit.
3.) All transfer payments from US or State Treasuries to US citizens are banned permanently. Any American receiving or paying government money must be able to present a clear audit trail demonstrating goods sold or services rendered, at prevailing market prices.
4.) Anyone who ever proposes trying to change paragraph #3 in any way is a traitor, and will be shot. Paragraph #2 was a warning. No more life sentences, we're simply never doing Leftism again; YOU WILL BE SHOT.

Because that was not important. It's an interesting contrast because Greek biographers often dwelt on the appearance of leaders because of course they could be gods, and Romans formalized this.
But Jesus' appearance was known by those who saw him, and those traditions were passed down to later generations, so many of the earliest art in the catacombs and elsewhere would reflect this.

For me, there are bottom lines as far as being a Christian goes. None of what is under discussion is a bottom line, only differences in perspective, or approaches to to faith in Jesus. My maing bottom line is what Jesus said - “ I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. Those who believe and practice that I consider fellow Christians.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks,
So very different considering the Obama Presidential Center is for partnering for museum exhibits rather than holding physical NARA archives.
In that, unlike older presidential libraries, the Obama Presidential Center uses a modern model where physical federal records are stored separately via NARA (College Park, MD), while selected objects and materials are made available for loan and display at the Chicago campus.

The Morning Report — 10/16 /26
A University of Wyoming student was arrested after police say she tried to poison a colleague, then attempted to flee to China when officers questioned her. Aili Wang, 32, was questioned by campus police after surveillance cameras set up by a coworker experiencing medical symptoms allegedly caught her rinsing his mug with liquid from her own cup on Oct. 1, according to a University of Wyoming police affidavit, which added that she was seen on camera “taking photos and manipulating notebooks.” Wang didn’t get along with the coworker, who wasn’t named in court documents. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Wang searching through the victim’s desk; the victim specialized in disease treatment technology, work similar to what she had done in China. . . Now you may think this is just some sort of bizarre thing that one crazy person did. But there’s been a pattern of such incidents all involving foreign researchers and students involved in the sciences on college campuses. . . . . . There’s some obvious patterns here. . .Professional rivalry likely plays a role. China is very academically competitive and while the vast majority of students aren’t poisoning people, clearly some are, while others understand that such behaviors exist. Call it ‘cultural differences’. Or something else to be aware of.And then we have these — poison pen letters.
I for one it's not personal, but it's high-level Chi-Com intrigue and sabotage. Considering what American Universities have been doing to the minds of young people for decades, this is almost a nothing-burger in comparison. And, thank you Harry Truman for not letting MacArthur storm across the Yalu River, nor nuking Beijing while we had the chance.
“The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News. “Some of the letters contained an unknown substance and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners to respond to each incident.” The notice included an image of one of the envelopes. The return addresses indicate the letters came from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) with the address the organization lists on its membership forms: 75 Maiden Lane in New York City.By any means necessary, we must have paradise on earth!
If you went to public school any time after 2000, you may not have even taken a history class. If you did, it’s highly unlikely that the lefties who taught you covered how many Soviet citizens died under Josef Stalin. Under Stalin, roughly 1.7 million Soviet citizens died in gulags from 1930 to 1953. That doesn’t include the roughly 5 million to 7 million who died from famine as a result of socialist policies. Yale historian Timothy Snyder has estimated that Stalin’s regime deliberately murdered about 6 million Soviet citizens. . . . . . As leftists often tell us any time we point out the failures of socialism, “That’s because it’s never been tried the right way before.” Let’s see whether the leader of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) got it right. Mao Zedong’s kill numbers are from the low “tens of millions” to upward of 80 million. All were his own people. No one can get a very accurate count for how many he killed, because the best possible sources were killed. As with Russia, Mao’s weapon of choice was famine – letting people starve to death.Historians say that under Mao, his people suffered from the deadliest famine in recorded history. They blame “collectivization,” falsified food production data and reports, suppression (censorship) of accurate information, and general mismanagement. . . What none of them see coming is that when socialism fails, and it always does, the leaders already know whom to blame: conservatives and Republicans, all because they resisted the socialist wave and made it difficult to actually execute socialism the right way.The embrace of Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, El-Sayed and all the rest by far too many of our young people and considering the saga of American academia for over 60 years many many more who should be old enough to know better but of course don't. It's been said probably in every election since '64 if not before, but this one and '28 could be lights out forever if either or both go south. At least the Democrats of yore were better at hiding who and what they were/are way back when, or that's how I seem to remember things. Nowadays the freak flags are flying in the breeze. And right out front and high is the flag of ISLAM! On these and all the rest I bid you all to have a great weekend.

- As leftists often tell us any time we point out the failures of socialism, “That’s because it’s never been tried the right way before.”...The people behind the White House website got it right. Socialism kills. It kills intentionally, and it kills unintentionally. Either way, when socialist leaders do things that end up killing millions, one thing that never changes is that they don’t care. They don’t care that it happened. They don’t care who died. They don’t care about the lies or empty promises they made to secure power. And so, when the common people start to drop dead because of failed socialist policies, and leaders make no real attempt to keep their promises, those same psychopaths just look the other way. Young Americans who make up Generation Z cannot comprehend that the socialists they love and support would ever not care about them. After all, they promised a better world. They promised that once capitalism is defeated, America would become a utopia.

Back in the good old days when government schools started transitioning from History to Civics (to eventually Activism) that benchmark was 20 million.
For decades, Mao's Great Leap Forward was also around 200 million.

Sad news on the job front - the position that fit so well and I felt like a sure fit, is 'closed due to a change in business needs'.
Still got one that I've interviewed for in the 'not declined yet' pool, the part time position the client is still getting their ducks in a row, and some other possibilities that recruiters have reached out about that would be good fits...
Best I can figure, God wants me to stay put physically speaking? I dunno.

Six months ago, my attitude was I didn’t really care about the midterms that much. I was going to vote of course but didn’t much care how they went one way or the other because the GOP is dog shit. But mea culpa I’ve changed my mind… the Dems are so foul and so crazy, I’d rather have the dogshit GOP than the crazy commies. And I don’t know but maybe the polling op is working on me but it looks like a freaking disaster is looming to me. Talafreako winning is a nightmare scenario and it seems possible.

In Texas in 2024, Trump won by 14% and Cruz won by 9%.
Talarico is nuttier than Kamala, if that's possible.
Cruz was running against a mixed race ex-NFL player who starred at Baylor.
But the polls say its neck-and-neck. This tells me all the polls are skewed, often badly. falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus

Yes, you do. Talarico will not win in Texas and early voting starts Monday which will prove it. And our own Dave in Fla has been posting early voting records on his X stream. There is no blue wave. In fact, early voting patterns are not helpful to the dems at all.

========
Turnout is low, below 2022, so far. Democrats rush out on the first day of early voting and get a big lead which degrades over time because they run through their dedicated partisans quickly while Republicans are steadier in their early voting habits.
Saw this in OH. Seeing it in GA. Even in VA (VA is going to be a center of whatever blue wave there is because Trump has destroyed the NOVA economy, but even there, the advantage is reducing over time).
First day of early voting in NC was yesterday, and Dems came out to a strong start. Will it follow the pattern we're seeing in the rest of the states where they crash in turnout soon after? Probably.
But, remember, the idea of the polls being wrong is just insane. They're always right. Even when they all say Susan Collins is going to lose in 2020, there's no way that she wins.

What's the Foxtrot network? A transnational criminal organization and drug cartel founded in Sweden in the late 2010s. The network is led by Rawa Majid, also known as the "Kurdish Fox," who fled to Iran in 2023.
It is Sweden's largest distributor of narcotics and is involved in weapons trafficking, contract killings, bombings, and assaults. (Wikipedia) The network pioneered a "gig-economy" model of crime, using gamified social media and online gaming platforms to recruit vulnerable teenagers and young adults across Europe to carry out shootings and assassinations for cash rewards. (BBC, Young guns for hire - the teenage hitmen recruited to kill across Europe
1 August 2026)
Majid reached an arrangement with Iranian authorities, operating from Tehran while cooperating with the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). (U.S. Department of State, Sanctioning the Foxtrot Network).
The Foxtrot Network has acted as an operational proxy for Iran, orchestrating attacks against Israeli, Jewish, and dissident targets in Europe, including a foiled grenade attack at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm in January 2024. Continued -

There is always more going on "out there" than the average citizen knows, and this administration is always working to have our backs.
"No Kings" rallies are back. Tomorrow's a nationwide day of action. Indivisible, MoveOn, the 50501 Movement, and support from organizations like the ACLU screaming voter access and civil engagement.
Researchers from American University's Center for Environmental Filmmaking and CECE tracked the demographics of the "No Kings" participants and found a highly specific profile:
• Race and Education: The crowd is overwhelmingly White (86%) and highly educated, with 88% holding a bachelor's degree or higher.
• Gender and Age: The single most common demographic profile at the flagship marches is educated White women in their 40s, with women making up 76% of the national

These protesters are largely affluent, educated, and insulated from economic hardships, their activism is less about survival and more about "emotional catharsis" and elite virtue-signaling.
Their fragmented, often nonsensical demands are hidden behind a day of action for "voter access and civic engagement" and how a constitutional republic operates.
Easily, half of them have no idea what is going on politically, even at a local level, and are all feelings (no knowledge) chanting their movements' slogans and hating the Administration, largely because it put the kibosh on USAID and other programs soaking - and opening dangerous doors towards - the good citizens of this country.
They won't get fooled again? 🤣 Au contraire. They're suckers, once again being used to undermine the greatest nation ever.

I was just reading up on how that Ship deorbit and catch will likely work. Safety is the big thing. You don't want a big honking hulk of metal coming down over a populated area out of control.
How you avoid that is, well, rocket science indeed. If things go awry, you can blow up, flight termination. But you need to do that up high, so the pieces will burn up. If get too low, blowing it up would be even worse than letting it crash.

It will be on a 30 degree or so inclination. When launched that will be on the down leg (descending node arc). If they came back on that down leg, the deorbit burn and all that would be over the continental US, coming NW to SE.
So, they stay up there long enough to allow Erf to rotate about 1/2 turn underneath, so that it will be coming back in the ascending, up-leg arc. That will put the critical deorbit and reentry fireball over the Pacific. It will just have to cross over Mexico, aiming for the Gulf. If something goes south, they'll head for a crash in the Gulf.
Only if all goes perfectly well will that steer and light up the engines to maneuver back to Starbase.
If something goes wrong during the final terminal phase, big boom at the tower. They will not blow it up, just let 'er crash. And nobody will be close enough for any danger...
This is some wild stuff.

The cause of polysemanticity in early model organisms wasn’t superposition, but several ordinary, mostly fixable issues. We can now understand most neurons in models up to trillions of parameters, and think the outlook for mechanistic interpretability may be far better than we thought.

The cause of polysemanticity in early model organisms wasn’t superposition, but several ordinary, mostly fixable issues. We can now understand most neurons in models up to trillions of parameters, and think the outlook for mechanistic interpretability may be far better than we thought.

We just had the cyber security exam including metasploit, metasploitable, setoolkit, 2 stenography programs, Wireshark, rsa, hashing, pki for for the signatures AND certificates, sql injection, xss, and even manually deciding a block cypher.
That's the exam after 3 hour lectures that sounded like a guy reading a dictionary, expecting total recall of the SQL commands we were told about 3 months ago, covered in the same week as JavaScript and php.
3 questions were about things i didn't have in my lecture notes, they were touched on and moved on from that quick.
Everyone i spoke to was walking out and complaining of lack of time to answer all the questions.
But still the masochist in me finds it kind of fun.
I should have just stayed on the forklift.

NEAT!
But you just know his mind is already locked on the next obvious progression: "Can we use gravity against gravity itself? Can we make an anti-grav thruster system? What kind of power would that take? What's the first step, and what's blocking us? Let's work on solving that first and let's design some experiments..."

Tesla put on a stunt show with a custom built prototype you can't buy.
Cold gas thrusters aren't new; we've had jetpacks since the 1960s.
Negative pressure underbody fans aren't new; supercar manufacturers were experimenting with them in the 1980s.
Variable geometry aerofoils aren't new; sports cars have had them on production models for over ten years.
Putting them all in a single auto body is an impressive engineering feat, even if they did have to use the entire passenger compartment, but to what end aside from a marketing stunt? This thing is like a Bugatti Chiron: built for one specific purpose, it costs millions of dollars, and the only people who bought one bought it just so they can say they bought one.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 15, 2026 [scampydog]
Ronco refined its marketing and distribution techniques with its second televised product, the "Chop-O-Matic." Produced by Popeil Brothers, this "food chopper with rotating blades" had been peddled by Ron Popeil on the fair circuit since the late 1950s. Not only was the commercial for this device longer, at five minutes, but Ronco also made this its first mail-order product. Delighted with the Chop-O-Matic's success, Sam Popeil invented and manufactured the Dial-O-Matic and what would become Ronco's first blockbuster, the Veg-O-Matic. Ron Popeil's television ad fueled the sale of over nine million units for $50 million worth of these rather primitive food processors.
The Department of War mandated the universities conduct a review of their foreign partnerships following its updates to a list of "foreign institutions engaging in problematic activities." Reports were due at the beginning of this school year.
The American Association of University Professors challenged the Department of War's audit along with the American Federation of Teachers in August.Of course they challenged. That's what commies do. People who are deeply invested in an ideology react defensively to information that threatens them/it. It's not confirmation bias if you call it ideological consistency. At least, that's what the Confirmation Bias Department would like you to believe. *** Economic reform is a long game. Summary of Javier Milei over at American Thinker and his battle against socialism. Worth a read.
The cancer of socialism metastasizes into every area of society -- the chemotherapy requires more time than a single presidency.*** Update from commenter mindful webworker.
Predicting the future: the commentariat will hyperventilate. We should ready ourselves for the usual lectures about decorum, solemn denunciations, and grave warnings about the deplorable portion of society. I expect a parade of earnest pundits lecturing us that the real scandal is the response (public firing squad) rather than Nidal Hasan's actions (murdering 13 people).
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced that the execution of convicted Fort Hood Islamist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan will be "PUBLIC," with American soldiers carrying out the firing squad at the very military installation where Hasan murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others in 2009.
The thing that sticks with you after that video isn’t some secret gadget or Hollywood manhunt trick. It’s the patience of it. US Marshals can work through the ordinary leftovers of a person’s life until the hiding place starts getting smaller… an old address that still matters, somebody who knows more than they realize, a car that turns up in the right area, or a routine that finally becomes predictable enough to be useful.
In automotive assembly, for example, fixture plates use carbide pins to locate body panels during welding. The pins slide into corresponding holes, ensuring each panel sits in precisely the right position before robotic welders do their work. Because these fixtures cycle thousands of times per day, the pins need to resist wear that would gradually enlarge the holes and degrade positioning accuracy. The same principle applies in:
• Aerospace jigs for composite layup and drilling operations
• Electronics manufacturing where circuit boards require precise positioning
• Medical device assembly where tolerances are measured in micrometers
• Tool and die construction for stamping and forming operations

My wife just uses my account, so Amazon thinks I'm a fan of history books and romance and mystery novels, I have young children, am over 90, like floral arranging and home decoration, but grill outside, and consistently maintain a hair care routine, and prefer specialty vinegars.
They must think I'm schizophrenic.

Akshully, I did err. A Mobius strip also flips handedness, at least for flatlanders. A flatlander has no notion of upside-downness. And that means a Klein bottle does as well for the flatlanders.

You can construct a 3D space like this, a 3D manifold version of the Klein bottle, and put a Arthur C. Clarke mirror "boundary" in it.
You walk into what looks like a mirror. You set into a mirror___ version of the world you just left. It's the same space, you just crossed back into it. To someone watching you do that, it looks as if you stepped into the mirror, and your reflection just popped back out.
You think nothing happened to you, the world flipped handedness. The world thinks you flipped handedness.

Yeah, I used to think there was some logic to it, even if it’s twisted or wishful thinking or believing what they want to believe.
But every single time, it turns out they were doing whatever evils they accused others of, usually more egregiously than their accusations.
You could probably make a name for yourself as a prosecutor by looking at Democrat accusations and then investigating the accuser for exactly that. Most of the time it turns out they weren’t even hiding it. They just seem to assume no one will look or care, which makes me wonder why they made the accusations to begin with. They must have some sense that it’s wrong.

To destroy someone it is first required to dehumanize them. Basically throw them out of the "collective us" the group that it is possible the empathize with.
Hammer on the [person] is a [violator of norms] or [ally of our enemy] or [traitor] and then move to number two, which is descrimination, and on to destruction.

I constantly have to remind myself that any US President has constituencies that go far beyond my tribe. Far beyond the US. He is playing to a global audience with almost everything he does. And no US President in my lifetime plays to a bigger one than Trump.
He literally is playing multi-dimensional chess with moves like this while he is dealing with a balance of power in the Middle East and beyond and trying to build coalitions and doing deals with countries that are trying to bring their people around to the idea of breaking their tribal bonds and going in a new direction and at the same time keeping his own tribe happy.
I probably would've watched the execution but I wouldn't fault anyone on our side who wouldn't. But mostly I'm glad he will face justice finally. I can live with the compromise.

You walk into what looks like a mirror. You set into a mirror___ version of the world you just left. It's the same space, you just crossed back into it. To someone watching you do that, it looks as if you stepped into the mirror, and your reflection just popped back out.
You think nothing happened to you, the world flipped handedness. The world thinks you flipped handedness.

Cats are very smell-oriented, which is why they are always marking everything, including you, as their territory. Their ancestors were loners who actually did change behavior due to humans, forming groups around human settlements. They mark us as part of their group and are generally closest to those with the strongest smell of the group.

Any normal politician would have just said that, and it would never have been aired or discussed.

I just looked that handedness flipping 3-manifold thing up, and I was suspecting that requires 5D to embed. It takes 5 dimensions to allow a 3D space to flip handedness like that. 4D wouldn't be enough. You need one more dimension to do the bending without messing up something.

At my wife's funeral, I mentioned that, given we both had health issues crop up repeatedly at almost the same time, that we would argue about who would go first; she always insisted that she should, which I'd vehemently oppose.

There's that but I think he is considering a much wider audience. Trump is trying to realign the Middle East, along with a few other regions, and trying to get governments with their own crazy leftists for lack of a better term to follow his lead.
Having Hasan executed by firing squad is going to send a powerful message that if you fuck with Americans we will kill you. That shows strength and that is one thing Arabs respect. Broadcasting it might be seen in a different light by people we want to stop being savages.
Having done business in the ME I know they respect strength but if you give them a reason to think you've gone too far they will find a reason to justify why you are worse than the criminal. Stupid but real.

There's an interesting paper, "On the Dimensionality of Spacetime" by Max Tegmark, here:
https://t.ly/F2zyK
He argues that all be our (1,3) spacetime just won't work. 1 dimension of time, and three of space are the only ones that allow for "well behaved" physics.
For example with 4 or more spatial dimensions, gravity and EM have no stable structures. In 4D space, gravity and EM would be inverse cube. Circular orbits there are unstable to perturbations.
More than one time dimension is just nuts, and less than 3 spatial dimensions would make things too simple. While you might think gravity would be inverse linear in 2D (and EM is this indeed), the tensor form of Einstein gravity would not allow a vacuum field to exist. Gravity could not propagate at all. So you need at least three spatial dimensions for gravity to even work.

The T-top on the Mazda is the ND (4th) generation. The NC generation PHRT (Power Retractable Hard Top) uses a fiberglass top that folds back in exactly the same space as the softtop. There's a little difference in profile when they're up, but down, you can't tell them.apart.
Which is why I bought the NC PHRT when I gave up the Helmet and Aerostich life.

I have heard that the best way to make sure your luggage is never lost is to carry a firearm. Doesn't have to have ammo. Doesn't even have to be a complete gun; just enough of one so the government considers it "a firearm."
If the airline loses a checked bag with a firearm in it, they are in a bunch of trouble. So they don't lose those.
I've never tried it myself, but I've never *knocks on wood* had trouble with baggage.

I'm as old school as can be. There is no place I'd ever want to be than behind the wheel of a sailboat going anywhere or no place in particular and I feel the same way about ICE cars.
But the performance and mind boggling things Musk is doing with electric cars is pretty spectacular. There's no denying they are just flat out faster and while I'm still pretty dubious of the self-driving stuff it's getting hard to deny they are doing things constantly I wasn't sure possible.
I still am not ready to not drive my own cars, never will be to sail my own boats, but what I saw tonight was ... wow.

Yep, both spin direction and angular momentum vector would flip. Without a torque. Thus, in such a space, angular momentum cannot be globally defined.

I don't fit very well in the A, B, or D versions (over 6', over 220#) so I was looking at the NC to start with. It's the Grand Touring version with the (heresy!!) 6 speed automatic. I would have bought the manual, but this came up.at a god price so I got it. I was a co-owner in a TR3 60 odd years ago that we raced in SCCA, so I'm comfortable heel-toeing and rowing, but I bought this for the wind-in-the -hair experience, not the adrenaline rush of "when is the ass end going to let go".

Well, duh, this is about the meaning of a "non-orientable surface" or manifold in general. A surface is a 2D manifold.
Things like angular momentum (and magnetic fields) are described in 3-space by the cross-product and right hand rules (or left-hand if you like, doesn't matter, just have to be consistent). The cross-product and operators like the curl are not really vectors, more "pseudo-vectors", as their direction depends on that chosen right-hand or left-hand rule. They are really a tensor, something called a bi-vector (think of anti-symmetric rank-2 tensor).
This works in higher dimensions than three. In 3D, since there are only 3 independent components, it can be disguised as a vector, with the orientation rule choice.
But, in a non-orientable space, all that breaks down globally. It just doesn't work.

It's all moot now anyway. The CGPM (Frog speak for General Conference on Weights and Measures) just voted yesterday to, for all practical purposes, eliminate leap seconds.
UTC is now going to run free for at least 500 years... They've haven't agreed on any scheme to replace and deal with keeping UT1 and UTC aligned. The measure raised the threshold of the allow difference to 1 hour from the current 0.9 seconds.

The reason they did this is because of earth's little "anomalous" rotational speed up starting in 2020. That has apparently stopped, and we're back to "normal".
But if that continued as it seemed it might for the next few years, a negative leap second would've been possible in 2029. This has never been done before, positive leap seconds are bad enough with computer systems, and it likely would've crashed the entire internet, fucked up no telling how many critical systems like all the stock trading systems, maybe even power systems.
So, that got them off their asses about this and they just punted, letting UTC run free.
Worst case, it will be no sooner than 500 years, and most likely a thousand or two, before DUT1 ever got noticeably too out of phase with mean solar time, much less one hour difference.

New tires are notoriously slick on their own - No joke, to quote our previous President - because of the mold-release compound and should be driven conservatively for the first couple of hundred miles.

@Scampydog, it's quite fascinating. Basically, it's a series of cuts done on the bias to every skin (sliced vertically along the backbone, first) and then matched and sewn so that you end up with one continuous section which can then be cut as if it were fabric.
With mink, you segregate by male and female skins; females are usually smaller so more skins means more cost. The fur is generally softer and the hides thinner which makes for a lighter coat. Male skins are more coarse with longer guard hairs but depending on how the skins are matched you often cannot tell the difference. A better coat will keep the lining free at the bottom so you can inspect the skins. Turn up the lining and you will see all the thread used to stitch those small strips together.
Often small strips of leather or skin will be sewn in to reinforce spots or extend the skins to keep costs down.

Man, I was just reading some of the likely failure modes if a negative leap second had been tried. It's basically "pure programming", and making assumptions that shouldn't be made, but the potential to break everything was there.
And that's what got the Time Lords off their asses.

Yep, there was a real worry that a negative leap second could've have fucked up the grid control. Some monitoring software and hardware, could've gotten messed up and saw the missing second as some huge shift in frequency and phase, making it shit its pants thinking some huge fault or other "swing" disaster was afoot, and tried to correct. Of course said correction, like slamming on the brakes to avoid a wreck, woud've caused a disaster. Major black outs and all that.

I was just going over the history of UTC, when the current 0.9s leap second tolerance was put it. In hindsight, that was terrible, but they had no idea of the soon-to-be computer revolution. That tolerance was put there basically for celestial navigation purposes, and low precision use. 0.9s allowed UTC to serve as a decent proxy for UT1, with the error there the same order as the error in sextant angle readings. All in all, about an 0.22 nautical mile error bar on positions from the cruder navigation.
Now, it's all high precision GPS, so that tolerance isn't needed any more for that purpose.
In 1972, for civil time purposes, it was still basically setting your clocks by low resolution methods, "At the tone, the time will be .....". All these complex details were the exclusive province of the Time Lords, and didn't concern the general public.
But then computers, and it all very much concerned the general public, at least the devices we've all become dependent on.

But yeah there is no way mail in ballots would ever be postmarked after the fact. No way man. Democrats who work at usps would absolutely never ever do that. Right?

The reason many potential mass-casualty events stopped by good guys with guns don't show up in the statistics is because the bad guy is stopped before it becomes mass-casualty.

One of the questions of exoplanet research is asking how our own solar system compares. Are we run of the mill, or some sort of oddball or something. Trouble has been a piss-poor sample of exo-solar systems. That is changing slowly, and now they think they've seen a enough to decide that there are basically two families of stellar systems.
Type 1 they call "peas in a pod". Low mass systems, very ordered, with many planets sort of close together. The other type is "high dynamical temperature". These are higher mass systems where the mass seems to get concentrated in relatively fewer, big mass planets more distantly spaced.
In that picture, our own solar system is sort of at a tipping point between those two types. Were peas in a pod, but yet are a little dynamically hotter. This may, may be some sort of sweet spot, who knows....

Steven Soderbergh will help finish “The Batman Part II” while director Matt Reeves is on hiatus dealing with a personal matter.
Soderbergh said in a statement: “I thought Matt Reeves’ work on ‘The Batman’ was stunning; it was intentional, specific and rigorously coherent. The goal here is to work with Matt and his team to generate footage that will integrate seamlessly with what’s already been shot so Matt can properly finish his film.”

Problem is, with current technology it's hard to detect smaller planets reliably, and as for moons? even harder. So our ability to detect also skews the results.
Reminds me of the story, during WW2, when the British or Americans were trying to figure out where to add additional armor to bombers and were using the places where the returning airplanes were shot as the first place to add, but a mathematician noted that those planes came back, so armoring those places didn't make sense; instead they should look where the planes that didn't come back were hit, but since that wasn't possible, use the places on the planes that came back WEREN'T hit...

In Saudi Arabia, the most famous version is part of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival.
However, in last month's 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Al Musanaa, Oman, 20 camel owners had their animals disqualified from the after veterinary inspectors discovered that the camels had undergone several cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance.
The disqualified camels had received a mix of injectables, including hyaluronic acid injections to their lips, dermal fillers and silicone around their nose, Botox to soften their faces, silicone wax to inflate their humps, and more.
"We are keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels," festival organizers with the Camel Club and the Oman Camel Racing Federation said in a statement, as they added that they would impose "strict penalties on manipulators."

The thing about a roadster is that they should be somewhat light. With the batteries?
Maybe if they can succeed in making it handle and feel light, I dunno.
Plus, I kind of wondering if the steering will be the modern fly by wire stuff or have actual linkage.

Drunk and Homely Female Democrat Lives in a Van Down by the River and Threatens Republicans, "We Have Guns Too"
A retarded woman running as a Democrat -- is there any other kind? -- was plainly drunk and possibly on drugs when she popped into a studio for a scheduled interview.
The sheriff says he has no idea what this brain-damaged woman is talking about. #BelieveAllSheriffs.
A Democrat running for county council in eastern Indiana was ridiculed Tuesday after critics claimed she appeared "s--- faced" and slurred her way through attacks on Republicans during a televised candidate forum. During the forum, Fayette County Council candidate Jaime West said she would "fire all Republicans" if elected, railed against "MAGAs" she called "racist" and unintelligent and alleged that a sheriff's nephew had threatened to kill her. Asked for a final message to voters, West responded: "We have guns too." "This is not a skit," said LibsOfTikTok, a popular conservative punditry account run by commentator Chaya Raichik. "Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in Indiana, gave an embarrassing interview where she appears to mumble and rant the entire time. Is she intoxicated?" Raichik asked on X. ... When asked one decision she would make if elected that constituents would find unpopular, West told the moderator, "Fire all Republicans." "I wouldn't let them -- I don't even talk to them. I don't like them. They voted against -- their own state representative voted against her own party," West continued while also pledging not to raise taxes.
"Y'all did this to us. ... You made this happen. This ICE coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs. I mean, I've been threatened so many times to my face by MAGA; we'll call them, because there's Republicans who actually get it. You know, there are good Republicans out there, but then there's these MAGAs who are just racist and aren't very intelligent at all," West continued. "They call you names. The sheriff's nephew threatened to blow my head off. But, you know, what are you going to do?"
Remember, all leftists are smarter than you. Their ideology assures them this the case. That's why they're so passionate about it. Their ideology tells them, despite all available evidence, that they are special and superior.
The moderator paused before asking West for a final message to voters. "We have guns too," West said as the moderator pivoted to informing viewers about how to vote in the Hoosier State's elections this year.
Viva Frei
@thevivafrei Oct 13 This is WILD. I legit thought it was a skit/high school video project. It is 100% real. This is Jaime West (Democratic Party) - she's running for election for Fayette County Council, District 4 in Indiana. I had to make sure she did not have a neurological disorder that could account for the slurred speech and insane rambling. She doesn't. And even if she did have a diagnosed neurological disorder, "we have guns too!" after talking about firing all Republicans would ordinarily be disqualifying. "One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." -Plato
Ryan GrimOf course:
@ryangrim Oct 13 Watch this to the end, you won't regret it. This is what happens when you're at happy hour and are reminded you agreed to do an interview about your race.

@KeithOlbermann I don't want to overreact to Jaime West here but I think she's my pick for Secretary of Defense

It is Oregon, of course. If he had a more-than-ten-round magazine then it will be proof that that law that violates the Constitution is essential to be enforced finally, and of course if he didn't it will be proof that it should be enforced anyways to continue to prevent greater tradgedies.
My question is, did the Feds and State Police get there faster than they did at the Rogue Valley CC shooting in Roseburg when Obama was president?

I don't give a shit what Demonrats say anymore. No reason to repeat nor figure out whatever lies they might tell. Simple heuristic for a more peaceful life-just assume whatever they would have said is a lie, a damned lie, or a statistic So you can disregard the rest of the statement after you hear the words Democrat.
FWIW, I was at the pistol range for the first time in about three years (could not go because of all the surgeries and recovery times between them) and it felt good to put bullets on target again.
Looking to go the rifle range before Election Day as Demonrats might get sporty if they lose as they deserve.

Gerwig recently explained how she was able to convince Led Zeppelin to let her license “Stairway to Heaven” for the feature adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ prequel book, after the band has notoriously shot down all previous requests to feature the 1971 song on screen

I have no need to even watch trailers to figure out Netflix will do everything they can to devalue, destroy, and mock the original work. Amazon did the same thing to Tolkien with Rangz of Pow'r. They wuz Kangz and Shit.
And Disney is sure to enter the take a dump on classic properties as well. The AWFLs and the sick in the head alphabet people have ruined modern entertainment. And if Ellison is smart at his job, he can lay waste to this ecosystem by simply not financing these sorts of projects. That is why the left was wailing about the acquisition--if Ellison shows profits where the woke studios show losses, then it won't be long until they have to drop the woke bit or go under.

That is a particularly mundane take. Everyone already knows that but Trump's remaining cabinet members have already shown they can give Democrats all they want. This is not Iraq redux in 2006 but rather a stupid and pointless push to shampeachment three--the idiocy. And that is likely to lose them 2028 if they are so stupid.

@LisaBritton Do these people live on another planet? College campuses are already anti-men to the max. Many male college students I've spoken with tell me they feel like a punching bag. Absolutely delusional to suggest that college men "aren’t being taught about inequality, power & sexism."
Kamala Harris is still pretending she's running for president. Fweedom!
Governess Houchul has spared 16,000 criminals from deportation by refusing to deliver them to ICE.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris called for institutional changes to the Supreme Court and the Electoral College during an interview Tuesday, calling for more justices on the highest court in the nation. "The work that we can do about winning back the House and the Senate is going to be on a number of things. For example, I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices on the Supreme Court so that we can have a court that actually reinforces the spirit and principles behind the Constitution of the United States," Harris told podcast host Keke Palmer on her "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast. "I believe that we should be pushing for what is possible around changing the Electoral College. Right? "It's about, the popular vote has to matter, right? You know, all the things that make people feel, like, overwhelmed, and does their vote matter? We have, you know, listen, if the folks there want it, we should be pushing for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C., right? These are some of the things that are structural that we need to do, but we need to reestablish affordable child care," Harris added. Harris lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote to President Donald Trump in 2024. She told Palmer she still remains undecided about a 2028 presidential run.
Governess Hochul put on an embarrassing performance in her debate with Republican Bruce Blakeman. Or so I'm told; I didn't watch it. All she could do was keep repeating "Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump" because her record is terrible. One poll says the race is neck-and-neck. I doubt it, but if you're a New York voters, you know what you could do that would result in the Funniest Thing Ever...?
New York blew off 16,000 Trump administration ICE orders to detain suspected heinous illegal migrants accused or convicted in more than 50,000 criminal charges, disturbing new data show. The Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago -- refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault. "While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again. Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post.
"We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor [Zohran] Mamdani and Governor [Kathy] Hochul.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman are nearly neck-and-neck as they head into the gubernatorial election's only debate Tuesday, a stunning new poll found. Democrat Hochul leads the Republican Nassau executive 47% to 44%, a Pollfinity survey released Tuesday found. The poll found about 6% of voters were undecided, while another 3% planned to cast their ballots for others. When undecided voters were asked which way they were leaning the race spread slightly, but just barely -- with the candidates falling within 4 points of each other at 48% to 44%. The poll called on 499 New Yorkers between Oct. 8 and 12, and bucked trends other pollsters had found in recent weeks which placed Hochul at a roughly 10-point lead over Blakeman. Hochul led Blakeman by 12 points -- 52% to 40%, with 8% undecided -- in an Oct. 8 poll from Emerson College and PIX 11 that called on 900 voters.
Kathy Hochul is asked about all the prejudicial statements she and Tish James have made pre-judging the "Cornell 7" defendants as Gang Rapists -- and then goes on to make even MORE flagrantly prejudicial statements, declaring the "victim" was "brutally attacked" at the fraternity https://t.co/nLcUtkaxSb

For example, I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices on the Supreme Court so that we can have a court that actually reinforces the spirit and principles behind the Constitution of the United States," Harris told podcast host Keke Palmer.
So, the Supreme Court shouldn't rule based on the letter of the Constitution, but rather interpret law based on some woozy, emanations perceived only by Democrat appointed judges.
No. Thank. You.
She needs to stick to commenting on what she knows...like blowjobs.

I believe that DC cannot become a state according to the Constitution....
The U.S. Constitution itself — specifically Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 — grants Congress exclusive legislative authority over the District of Columbia, which is the seat of the U.S. government, making it federal property under federal control.

Where has she been the past what? 2 years? I’ve heard more from Obama than I have her. She lost and tucked tail, I’m not a fan of that.
She lost to Trump, who should not be a difficult opponent. Dems allowed Republicans to make government so unworkable and difficult that the poor and working poor see no difference between the party that hates them and the party that capitulates to and sympathizes with the party that hates them.
Biden picked her because she would be such a bad candidate to go up against him as he got older, and the Democrats would choose him to run again. However, it's pretty clear that Biden would be a better president now, even if he had to turn most everything over to his advisors. The country would be in a much, much better position.
She is prepared and does her homework. She's smart and can run the government and lead the military. She would likely not be on CNN and the internet every fucking day. But in this timeline in this country she likely can't win.

The Senate should constitutionalize the size of the Supreme Court now that we, theoretically, know what a good size is (The Paolo notwithstanding) like they should have done every time they’ve gained “power” since the Democrats threatened to force a Supreme Court advantage in, what, 1937?
In defense of Republican lawmakers, they may legitimately be completely forgetful about it. I never get any send-money-now requests that mention packing the court when Republicans could actually do something about it.

She might not need to gain quite that much. I've never seen her nude (thank God), but I doubt she would qualify for Playmate of the Month status (ca. 1975, say) or as a fitness model.

Moments after officers arrived at the scene, police said they were told the suspected shooter had been shot and killed inside the school, but officials said they are still unclear on whether the suspect was shot by a bystander or by a police officer.

Now, parents in the Forest Lake Area School District are questioning whether students got an unexpected introduction to one particular U.S. Senate candidate during the school day — courtesy of a taxpayer-funded classroom.
Students across multiple grade levels — including high school seniors who are already 18 or will turn 18 by Election Day — were shown a video featuring Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, the DFL candidate for U.S. Senate, as part of the district’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day observance Monday, Oct. 12.
In the three-minute KARE 11-produced segment about Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Flanagan touts her Native American heritage while also highlighting her political prominence.
“I’m the lieutenant governor of the great state of Minnesota, and I’m White Earth Ojibwe,” Flanagan says. “I am the highest-ranking native woman to serve an executive office in the country.”

Shoot-out after lovers' quarrel: Tennessee appeals court orders new trial after jury was lied to about victim's sex.
The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals has thrown out Samuel Ward Jr.'s voluntary manslaughter conviction for shooting Paris Lee, a trans-identified male. At prosecutors’ request, the Shelby County trial judge barred any mention that Lee was male, ordered everyone to call him ‘Ms. Lee,’ and redacted his autopsy.
The appeals court said that misled the jury and ordered a new trial.

Nancy Mace Was Right? Police Arrest Her Ex-Fiance and Three Other Men for Sexually Abusing an Unconscious Woman
She originally Soft Opened these charges with surveillance camera video from a gym. I thought she was complaining that the surveillance camera photographed her wearing her gym clothes.
I don't know why she didn't lead with the real story, the sexual assault on an unconscious woman.Well color me surprised. I guess her speech did mention the assault. But she spoke about it in such a fuzzy way I didn't know what she was specifically alleging.
South Carolina authorities have charged three of the four men Rep. Nancy Mace accused in a 2025 House floor speech of sexually abusing women and girls with offenses related to the alleged sexual assault of a 23-year-old incapacitated woman in 2018. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division announced the charges Wednesday against John Douglas Osborne, 46, Brendan Patrick Bryant, 53, and Eric Bernard Bowman, 46. All three men were booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston County. Bryant is the former fiancé of Mace, who has said that she ended of her engagement to Bryant in November 2023 after discovering videos of women being sexually abused on his cellphone. The alleged incident occurred Oct. 26, 2018, on Sullivan's Island, a 3 1/2-mile-long barrier island home to some 2,000 people near Charleston Harbor. According to the affidavits supporting the charges, the victim, a 23-year-old woman, was drunk when she fell into the swimming pool of a residence. She then removed her wet clothes but for her bra and passed out on a sofa. While she was unconscious, the three men are accused of discussing sexual exploits before agreeing that Osborne would have sex with the woman as the others watched.
The documents allege that as Osborne kissed, digitally penetrated and performed oral sex on the incapacitated woman, Bryant and Bowman watched. They are also accused of taking photos and video of the incident. An unidentified witness allegedly overheard the alleged conversation between the men and watched Bowman and Bryant via a home security video feed apparently record the assault. The documents state the witness also obtained and saved two still photographic images from the security video feed and created an email or journal entry detailing the incident from her perspective.
... The announcement comes nearly two years after Mace, a Republican firebrand, took to the House floor on Feb. 10, 2025, to accuse the three men and another of raping and filming women they had incapacitated. She also alleged that they took nonconsensual photos and videos of the victims. She said she had found thousands of videos and photos of the alleged crimes and had identified almost a dozen dozen victims, including herself.
"I accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable -- we are talking about rape, nonconsensual photos, nonconsensual videos of women and underage girls, and the premeditated, calculated exploitation," Mace revealed in her shocking speech.I will just note that feminists basically use these words now to attack people just for criticizing them online. Without specifying the specific actions allegedly committed, no one can tell what a feminist means when she says "rape" any longer. (And Mace is, of course, a strident feminist. She sued the Citadel and forced her way into the formerly all-boys military academy.) Related: Nancy Mace points out that America's Sweetheart thinks "U.S." stands for "the U.S. g*ddamn States."
All around Anti-American.

After months in hiding, a frantic ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell was spotted scurrying toward a black SUV outside his family home in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday — as the Los Angeles County DA confirmed it’s reviewing his criminal rape case for charges.
The California Post can also reveal Swalwell no longer living in the nation’s capital, and was only there for a fleeting business visit, which happened to fall on his 10th wedding anniversary to wife, Brittany Watts.
The 45-year-old appeared harried just before 9 p.m., attempting to disguise himself in a cap and glasses as he hustled toward a waiting car near the $1.2 million property he once shared with Watts and the couple’s three children.

Maybe they just didn't see it as rape. As crazy as that is, some people occupy a very different headspace. Consider these Motley Crue lyrics (from the 2000s): "Girls passed out, naked in the back lounge, everybody's going to score."

Neil Young says Tom Cruise's "Digger" is "the best film I have ever seen."
"None of the reviews I have read describe this film adequately, in my opinion," Young wrote. "They seem to miss the overall effect and most of them are negative. This film lives in a world of art. It is its own best review. Don't read any other reviews and forget this one before you see 'Digger.' It cannot be seen as a Tom Cruise film - that would be misleading. I would describe it as a film of our times... I do not view this film as a commercial venture. Rather it is an artful film of our times. The things that are said in 'Digger' are a direct reflection of today's political and social world. The film is so full of artful expression and radical change ups, that it may be too much to take in for those expecting a commercial film like we are used to today."

I have noticed this lack of understanding of what ought to be the lede is very common among conspiracy theorists, at least among the “paranormal”. My favorite remains von Daniken, who would basically write things like, here’s a suspiciously spherical sphere, and these triangular scratchings could easily represent an astronaut’s face mask, this detailed stone carving is clearly an astronaut in full outfit with a helmet microphone holding a grooved disc, and for further proof, did you ever notice that birds are prevalent in ancient mythologies…
Wait, what was that about an astronaut in full outfit again? Why are you grouping that with round stones and rough triangles? Either they’re lying and they know it (this was almost certainly the case with von Daniken—the illustration in question was from a Soviet-era music magazine) or they have lost all sense of what constitutes proof, if they ever had it.
You can see the same thing in UFO enthusiasts and psychical researchers.

And more importantly, why has the Democratic Party allowed her stepbrother to become their Michigan Senate nominee, despite their obvious ties to terrorist groups? The two most consequential fallouts of radical left-wing ideology's capture of public institutions has been the demoralization of American youth and the welcoming of anti-American foreigners who enjoy the luxuries of our country while working to undermine it.

My estimate of the possibility is probably far lower than yours, but fully agree with this statement: even my very low possibility is still higher the possibility that his evidence has any bearing on it.
It’s hard not to think he feels the same way. If he truly believed his theory had any possibility of being true, he would have, on discovering that absolute proof of ancient astronauts, given up on balls and shrouds and spent far more time trying to find that engraving. He reproduced a photograph. If true, it was absolute proof. (You can see it at the link in my nic.)
UFO researchers often do the same with vague lights in the sky and clearly full-on ships with people in them. They treat these two bits of evidence the same—and give them the same complete lack of investigation.

Iran Sentences Woman to Death For Insulting Their "Prophet;" Activists Attack Pete Hegseth For Making War on This Enlightened Regime
The mullahs will hang a woman for insulting the leaders of Iran, which they then trumped up to insulting the "prophet."
So the whole claim of blasphemy is a lie, they just want to murder her because she spoke out against them.
An Iranian woman has been sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social media post that insulted the prophet. Accounting student Najmeh Amini, 23, was sentenced to death last month after being held in the notorious Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad for eight months. It was previously reported that Amini was being held on charges that included 'insulting the Supreme Leader' and 'clashing with security agents.' However, Iranian human rights activists have now revealed that the student was sentenced to death on charges of 'sab ol-nabi' (insulting the prophet). She was also sentenced to 12 years, six months, and one day on charges of acting against national security and spreading anti-regime propaganda.
Amini was arrested on January 31 after she -- alongside hundreds of thousands of Iranians -- took to the streets to protest against its authoritarian government. In response, security forces unleashed a deadly crackdown, in which more than 7,000 people were killed, while thousands more were arrested, according to human rights groups. Following her sentencing last month, a leaked voice recording from inside prison emerged, in which Amini desperately pleaded for help. 'Greetings to the people of Iran. I am Najmeh Amini, 23 years old, speaking from the central prison of Mashhad. I am leaving this message for you on 18 September 2026,' she is heard saying. ... 'I request that international human rights organisations and responsible bodies at the United Nations hear my voice and investigate and follow up on the status of my case.The UN. Sorry, lady, the UN will not help you. They will cheerlead your murder.
... 'The Iranian authorities are unleashing a horrifying wave of executions and death sentences to punish and suppress dissent and project an image of strength and absolute control,' said Heba Morayef, Amnesty International's regional director. 'The muted response from the international community emboldens the Iranian authorities to continue their deadly rampage.' Amnesty said at least 26 people were arbitrarily executed after being convicted of offences related to the January protests, following what it said were 'torture-tainted, grossly unfair trials' by revolutionary courts.Iran, like Communist China and the Soviet Union before that, represents the leftist dream of murdering their opponents and taking full control over all aspects of society, and therefore must be defended and praised by all good communist cultists.
Multiple Iran War protesters have crashed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's Wednesday roundtable on Autonomous Warfare at the Association of the United States Army conference. In a coordinated effort, six different protesters took turns interrupting Hegseth's panel at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The roundtable is currently ongoing, and there may be more protesters as the event continues to unfold.
The video player is currently playing an ad. "Pete Hegseth, you're a fucking war criminal, you're a Nazi," a male protester yelled while in the middle aisle of the event, in full view of Hegseth. "You should be ashamed, he screamed." ... The confrontation was not Hegseth's first encounter with anti-war demonstrators. On April 30, a protester affiliated with the anti-war organization CODEPINK interrupted Hegseth's testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, accusing him of war crimes and condemning American military operations in Iran before being arrested by Capitol Police, according to CODEPINK. "You're a war criminal," one protester screamed repeatedly while being dragged out by security.

The US Navy, in performing its duty in enforcing the embargoes pushed by the Euros and Asians, as well as others, guaranteed that the price of that embargoed oil would remain low, supplies remained high, and the profit lucrative. In black-bagging Maduro and allowing the Iranians to blockade the Straits of Hormuz and rolling up the floating Iranian tankers, and crimping down on the shadow banking, the profit went away, and EVERYONE wound up paying market prices.
of course the US is hated

Billionaire stadium owner, Robert Kraft, did not like Macklemore, a Grammy winning rapper, saying "Free Palestine" on stage — so he made calls and the artist got pulled off of Ed Sheeran's tour.
This is not just about a single musical act. This is about how a small handful of powerful people, like stadium owners, can threaten someone's livelihood in order to prevent an entire massive issue from being spoken about -- in this case, the genocide in Gaza.

Trump encouraged thousands of people, like this bright, noble, beautiful girl, to rise up against this evil regime, then sold them out. May both the Iranian despots and Trump go to hell.
If anybody was curious, the only source for any of this is HRANA, and yes, they receive funds from the NED, which is a CIA cutout within the US State Dept.

I expected him to go off on "FREE PALESTINE"!!! at some point.
He did, but I was shocked at how little time he spent on it. Being Irish, I assume he was contractually obligated to do it. (The Irish REALLY hate Israel for some reason I can't fully comprehend. I think they believe being weaker automatically means you are righteous.)

I read that book, too, and he made some good points, but I believe Mo existed, and that he wrote his rants (or had somebody write them down, because he was probably illiterate), and that is why they are internally inconsistent. I also believe he was epileptic and that was the source of his "inspiration" and visions. I'm quite sure he was a warlord, intent on world domination, but he didn't think that big because he had never seen the world beyond the Arabian peninsula, and couldn't imagine how he could ever pull off that coup.
I'm equally sure his "followers" saw the possibilities in leveraging ol Mo's image to slaughter their rivals and take over their lands, money, and women. Mo didn't start the religion, but after he died, his "followers" certainly did. Politics can be trifled with, not so "religion."

There are no contemporary records of Mo, but of course he did come from a primitive civilization that wasn't big on writing and someone committed genocide on the local Jewish population who likely would have written about it if not killed...
The interesting thing here though is Islam makes Mecca out to be an important trading hub at the time but they've found no Roman coins there - and as a comparison they've found Roman coins at other sites on the trade routes to India so that certainly seems odd...
Overall though I think Mo probably was a real person who said some of the stuff attributed to him, had sex with the men of Al-Zutt and 9 year olds - but he was living in a primitive village whose only claim to fame was an unimportant pagan temple.

Texas Man Charged Migrants $200 Each for a Ride to Apply for Asylum and Drove Them Straight to ICE Detention.
Authorities say a Texas man was arrested after charging illegal migrants $200 apiece while telling them he would take them to places where they could apply for asylum. Instead, he drove them to ICE detention centers.
Officials claim he presented himself as someone offering help and then handed the migrants over to federal immigration authorities.

It ain't just Islam. Islam is just yet another expression of the demonic desire to destroy their enemies and reward their sychophants who put them into power.

President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement have entered what one former Republican official has described as their "fat Elvis" era, as his campaign tactics and recycled attacks are wearing thin with some Republican voters who feel the president is past his prime.

Never forget that days after Charlie’s assassination, Ilhan Omar said his legacy “should be in the dust bin of history” and the real “jarring” thing was not his murder, but the fact that people want to honor him.
Justice will be served soon enough…

Debunking CRFB’s Analysis of Trump and
Biden Impacts on the National Debt
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) released a report entitled, “Trump and Biden: The National Debt.”
The CRFB’s report attempts to compare the fiscal impact of the policies of the current Administration with the policies of the previous Administration, yet fails to accurately capture the total cost incurred by both presidencies.

YES: Trump's DHS Is Preparing a Case for Deporting the Foreign Agent of Influence Ilhan "Omar"
The Trump administration is building a case that could lead to the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, with federal agents seizing the Minnesota Democrat's cellphone, notebooks, personal computers and her passport on Monday, according to a new report and people familiar with the investigation. Omar has long maintained that she became a US citizen at the age of 17 when her father was naturalized in 2000, but sources with direct knowledge of the federal raid on her DC bungalow said the Department of Justice is looking for evidence that claim is a lie. If the Somali-born Omar's citizenship was procured by the concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation -- either by herself or by her father, Nur Omar Mohamed -- on immigration paperwork, then the feds will seek to denaturalize and deport her, one of the sources confirmed.Is that even her "father"? There is evidence that her real father is a Somali war criminal who genocided enemy tribes and who was trained as a revolutionary by the communist party. She has called this man -- Nur Omar Said -- "father." When asked why she refers to him as "father," she claimed that Somalis routinely call men who are not their fathers "father" to show respect. That's a lot of bullshit.
The 44-year-old congresswoman was at home with her husband Tim Mynett when agents executed a search warrant and removed the items, The Wall Street Journal reported. Criminal charges could only be brought if the alleged immigration fraud occurred within the past 10 years, while if it concerned false statements there would be a five-year statute of limitations, according to federal defense attorney Todd Spodek. Securing a criminal conviction for "knowingly procuring naturalization unlawfully requires revocation of citizenship," Spodek said, though a member of US Congress has never been denaturalized before. There's no similar statute of limitations if civil denaturalization is pursued.... The Post confirmed Wednesday that prosecutors in Minnesota are leading the immigration fraud probe into the "Squad" member, while the office of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro is pursuing an inquiry into Omar and Mynett's finances.That sister just so happens to have run a "charity" with the same address as the address as three of the keu "Feeding Our Future" Somali fraudsters.
... The Post reported Tuesday that in the spring of 2019, following Omar's initial election to the House of Representatives, her staff pressed the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, and Wikipedia to record her birth as happening in 1982 rather than 1981. Months earlier, in the fall of 2018, Omar's campaign had told the Associated Press that she didn't have a birth certificate due to her family's displacement by the long-running Somalia civil war. ... More than a dozen grand jury subpoenas have also been issued to family members of the Minnesota congresswoman, including her sister, Sahra Noor.
One of the largest fraud scandals in Minnesota may involve the family of Ilhan Omar. The far-left congresswoman's sister used the address of a woman who was business partners with several major convicts in the "Feeding Our Future" scandal, a Daily Wire investigation found. The federal meals scandal is described as the largest public theft in Minnesota history. The statehouse's House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee is probing the Somali-born congresswoman's involvement in the scandal, but Democrats in May blocked a subpoena that would require Omar to produce records. Public records in the state, however, may tie Omar's sister, Sahra Noor, to the operation. Noor has run several businesses in the region, including the People's Center Clinics & Services in the Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis, which controversially received a $2 million earmark while her sister was a state representative. Noor went on to found a group called Grit Partners Consulting, and publicly says her company "has secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives" and has "consulted on projects backed by" federal health agencies such as USAID and the Center for Disease Control. Grit Partners was incorporated at a home on Hyacinth Ave. in Lakeville, Minnesota. That address, and the woman who lives there, are lynchpins tying together at least three Feeding Our Future convicts, The Daily Wire found.
Eric DaughertyJake Tapper, who cheerleaded Jack Smith's rush to indict Trump before the 2024 presidential election, is absolutely horrified that Ilhan "Omar" would be investigated now before an election.
@EricLDaugh
🚨 ILHAN OMAR UPDATE: SHE IS IN MAJOR HOT WATER - DOJ is building a case to strip her citizenship and ultimately DEPORT HER
- Her passport and phone were seized
- A federal grand jury sent out about a dozen subpoenas
- Possible additional charges being looked at: conspiracy and false statements
- Federal agents with HSI searched Omar's D.C.-area home under a search warrant
- The focus is reportedly her birthdate and the family's immigration records
- Her father brought the family to the U.S. from a refugee camp in 1995
- In 2019, her staff reportedly asked to change her listed birth year from 1981 to 1982, meaning citizenship might be invalid
- US Attorney Jeanine Pirro has a SEPARATE probe into Omar's financial disclosures This is the scandal she was hoping would NEVER COME. It's finally here! THE END RESULT MUST BE DEPORTATION, MINIMUM
Jake Tapper KNOWS Ilhan Omar is COOKED! 😂 Just look at his facial expressions while the CNN legal analyst is talking. 😭 https://t.co/ync2uSAvX0

Gerald PosnerThis woman says that there's no record than the man Ilhan "Omar" claims was her father, and through whom she obtained a fraudulent "derivative" citizenship, actually ever was a naturalized citizen at all. If he never actually became a naturalized citizen, he would have no citizenship through which Ilhan "Omar" could "derive" her own.
@geraldposner 3h Here's a question nobody is asking about the Ilhan Omar investigation. If authorities succeed in stripping her citizenship, could a Democratic president in 2028 reverse everything and put her back into Congress? The WSJ and other outlets report authorities are building a case to strip her citizenship over her 2000 naturalization. The Constitution requires House members to be citizens. No citizenship, no seat. But the criminal route (18 U.S.C. sec. 1425) has a 10-year statute of limitations and that ran long ago. The viable path is almost certainly civil denaturalization under 8 U.S.C. sec. 1451(a). That is a civil court judgment, not a criminal conviction, so even if the Democrats win the White House in 2028, the pardon power would not reach it. If there was a criminal conviction on different matter and a future president pardoned it, no one knows whether that would restore citizenship. It has never been tested. Naturalization is Congress's power, not the president's. And a pardon would not automatically hand back her seat. She would have to win it again. Granted, this is all years away. My legal DNA just likes to game out the possible endgame on high profile probes like this.
AJ Kern has done extensive research on Ilhan Omar’s citizenship verification. When an adult parent gains citizenship through the naturalization process, their minor children ‘derive’ citizenship through that parent. Since minors cannot naturalize independently and adults cannot derive citizenship from their parents, Ilhan Omar has repeatedly claimed that she ‘derived’ citizenship through her father as a minor at the age of 17.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not allow records requests to be processed for a living foreign-born person without their permission. However, the USCIS will process a record request for a deceased foreign-born person. Since Ilhan Omar’s father passed away in 2020, AJ Kerm submitted the request to the USCIS in June 2022, for her father’s records and she received a response on June 20, 2023. It turns out that the USCIS has no record of her father being a naturalized US citizen. Therefore, this is probably why the Biden Administration’s Justice Department launched an investigation into Ilhan Omar in June 2024, and why a Democrat judge signed off on a search for Ilhan Omar’s home. Of course, CNN, MSNBC, and Democratic politicians will never mention any of this because it does not fit their narrative. https://t.co/GZg0iw5QDM— Julie Perry (@Julie4Virginia) October 13, 2026
MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian has made a new defense for Rep. Ilhan Omar in a possible investigation into her: There will probably be a lot of cases of “fudged facts” if you look at everybody’s refugee and naturalization paperwork. https://t.co/XmOCoOGji7

And it reinforces Dems as the party of foreigners so I get that.

one of the people whose minds Talarico was trying to change on abortion was a staunch Catholic theologian and professor. Yeah, good luck with that.

You don't say.
Omar was the sponsor of the Maintaining Essential Access to Lunch for Students (MEALS) Act during the lockdowns which allowed all this fraud to occur. Of course she was involved.
On another happy note, John Brennan is currently being grilled in front of a grand jury in St. Lucie Florida over his involvement in the grand conspiracy to deprive Trump of his civil rights. He is a target of the investigation not just a witness.

BTW, the US is in a continuous "state of election flux"; there is no time for politics/election not to exist.
This dynamic is right up there with "Any critique of a Democrat/Progressive is racist". These arguments are more evergreen than evergreens themselves.

That's because they are all very stupid people who have never been held accountable for their crimes in the past so they have no way to imagine that Trump will come after them for vote fraud.

One of the things that has come out from all these investigations is that then of millions of dollars were sent back to Somalia through the Minneapolis airport and if you've flown through there you will know a lot of the workers are light bulb heads.
It has long been rumored that some of that money might have ended up with al Shabaab which is the Somalian branch of al Qaeda. I don't think that will energize a lot of people on the left.

OTOH and interesting: Somaliland officials and authorities strongly oppose her political stance. Because she backs a unified Somalia and opposes Somaliland's independent moves or agreements (such as the deal with Ethiopia), Somaliland leadership has sharply criticized her.

Anthony Fauci Blamed Trump for the Spread of the Completely-True Lab Leak Theory Fact
Trump rarely gets credit from the establishment, but here, his evil malignant dwarf nemesis gives him full credit for getting the truth out.
Anthony Fauci blamed President Donald Trump for the public's concern that the COVID-19 pandemic had emanated from a laboratory in Wuhan to which Fauci's institute had shipped funding and high-risk coronavirus experiments, newly released documents show. Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday released new pages of the daily diary that Fauci had stored on government servers with entries stretching from December 2021 to May 2022. The entries give the starkest view yet into Fauci's thinking as his preferred narrative around the pandemic's origins -- that it originated from a wet market in Wuhan -- began to crumble. By the end of 2021, scientists and journalists pursuing the so-called "lab leak theory" had evaded earlier censorship efforts, defied bullying in the scientific community and broken containment. Fauci often wrote in his diary about his intention to set the story straight in his forthcoming memoir. Rather than reflecting on his decisions to champion gain-of-function research that makes viruses more deadly in the lab, Fauci sought to portray the hypothesis that COVID had resulted from a lab accident as a Trump-backed conspiracy against him.It was later proved that EcoHealth did in fact illegally use Fauci's money to fund gain-of-function research. EcoHealth is now blackballed from receiving federal funding.Fauci faulted Trump for ordering the termination of a grant from Fauci's institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to EcoHealth Alliance, an infectious diseases nonprofit that discovered novel coronaviruses and enhanced them in lab experiments with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
"****Very important issue to discuss in the book. The entire controversy with China as the source of the outbreak and the lab leak theory stems from the tension between Trump and China," Fauci wrote in a March 21, 2022.
This filthy despicable cocksucker.
"Please remember that when it was brought to the attention of Trump that the NIH was funding a grant at Wuhan where the outbreak was first recognized, Trump ordered, with no evidence to support any suspicion, that we cancel the grant," Fauci wrote.
Despite Fauci's contention that the termination had been unjustified, four years later EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak saw debarment by the Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services. HHS said it sought to "protect the public interest" by ending the group's funding after evidence mounted of reckless biosafety practices and shifting statements to federal regulators about a delayed grant report covering the period immediately before the pandemic's outbreak. Fauci said that conditions had been placed on EcoHealth that "they essentially were not able to meet."

Fauci wanted a corona virus vaccine and approved the proposal to make one in Wuhan.
China screwed up and release it.
Fauci went to his partners at Pfizer and Moderna that told me they basically had the vaccine ready they'd all been working on. They lied. But he went with what they told him and put everything in on hiding how he created COVID but focused on how his partners had the cure with the clot shot.
So he knew and was lying about what COVID was and where it came from but intentionally he did believe the clot shot worked

In 1704, George Frideric Handel and Johann Mattheson almost died in a sword fight over who should conduct a Hamburg opera — but a metal button on Handel’s coat saved his life, and they later became friends
The incident happened in December 1704 in Hamburg, during the premiere of Mattheson’s opera Die Misfortune of Cleopatra (Die Unglück von Cleopatra)
Mattheson was both singing the role of “Anthony” and, according to tradition, expected to conduct from the harpsichord. Handel, who had been invited to fill in as conductor, refused to vacate the seat
Accounts differ on the exact trigger, but the most common version is that Handel would not give up the conductor’s position while Mattheson was on stage
Mattheson suggested they settle the matter outside, and the two young composers — Handel aged 19, Mattheson 23 — drew swords
Outside the theater, the two exchanged blows in a brief but intense fight
In one telling, Mattheson lunged with a thrust aimed at Handel’s heart, but the blade struck a large metal button on Handel’s coat instead of his chest
The crowd gasped, but Handel was unharmed.

Fauci is about 300 years old and has a ton of money, and a federal blanket pardon. So far, he's gotten away with everything, and experiences no feelings of guilt or regret. The question is, what can be done to punish him at this point?
He was killing people and torturing dogs long before covid. He got away with all that too.
What does he value? Take that away, and he will pay some kind of price.

My pet theory (see what I did there?) is that since Mohammed, earlier in life, was a caravan raider - a pirate - and naturally attacked caravans at night when they were asleep, the dogs would alert and sound the alarm. Hence when he 'invented' his religion, making dogs unclean was a given. Because he was a fucking murdering pirate, among other things.

And ever since, they still lean on teaching via youtube and screens. We (esp. my kids) are still being robbed of what was pre-covid, a decent public education. Just today, email from daughter's science teacher explaining all the wonderful things she's doing as a teacher:
"Students asked me to post a key to the study guide in Schoology. Done!
Students asked me to post a quiz game in schoology they could play. Done!
I was able to answer lots of questions they had during the last 10 minutes of class."
Bravo...*slow clap*
So are you personally teaching at any point, or answering questions after the games and videos did the teaching? Or in other words... "What...would you say...you do here???"

Trump Fines Bank of America $1.2 Billion Over Money Laundering for China
Bank of America is one of the worst offenders for closing bank accounts for conservative and religious groups, claiming that working for such groups causes them too much "reputational risk."
They debanked people to curry favor with the Biden gangsters. But working with China to launder money and evade sanctions? No reputation risk worth talking about.Update: Via Biden's dog sniffs a lot of marlarkey, a previous bank whistleblower who said that a fine that barely impacts BoA's profits is not enough. People --even the rich white collar corporate types that pay money to both parties for protection-- need to go to prison.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday it is fining Bank of America $1.2 billion for allegedly violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. The department accused the bank of failing to report and mitigate notable national security risks, including Chinese Money Laundering Networks and suspected "illicit finance along the southwest border." It also failed to report more than $5 billion in suspicious activity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. ... The department said Bank of America also reached an $11.6 million settlement with its Office of Foreign Assets Control over "apparent violations of numerous sanctions programs, including on Iran, Russia, narcotics, and global terrorism." The $1.2 billion penalty includes $750 million that will go to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is the largest fine ever imposed by that agency.
Everett SternRelated: Chinese intel operative Neville Roy Singham and his communist wife are launching a pro-CCP propaganda tour. I haven't heard about this pair being debanked.
@EverettStern1 Dear Secretary Bessent
@SecScottBessent, My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov. The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank's profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison. I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return. I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something. Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act. Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with "America" in its name. And once again, not one individual charged. Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working. A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats. This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried. There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go. Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: "Justice is the defense of our liberty." I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel's money should be standing next to him. I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them. This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one. Three things would change the math overnight. Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury's history combined. End "too big to jail." An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. And if Bank of America will not act as America's bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them. Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine. I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it. Respectfully, Everett A. Stern

A California-based nonprofit with ties to the CCP and Neville Roy Singham embarked on a Chinese propaganda tour this week, telling attendees they could learn about the "revolutionary history" of the communist country while "marveling" at the socialist development in the country. On Sunday, CodePink, a 501(c)(3) registered in Marina del Rey, California, posted a video of co-founder Medea Benjamin in an airport discussing her trip to China. The video, which was posted in between separate posts bashing Columbus Day and propping up feminism, detailed how Benjamin will show how the communist country is different from "the one we keep hearing about in Washington." The following day, CodePink posted another clip of Benjamin outside a university in China lauding the safety of the country, saying enthusiastically that it is "amazing" an umbrella or bike can be left unattended in the region "without worrying about someone stealing it."
... "Explore China's revolutionary history, while marveling at high-tech infrastructure and modern socialist development," the event description reads. "Highlights include Red Memorials, Historical Re-Enactments and Museums, Socialist Infrastructure, and Rural Revitalization." ... Since 2017, Singham has funneled $278 million into a broad network of nonprofits, including CodePink, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.

But the reality is, these banks are so ginormously big that until Bessent starts nailing them with fines in the 100s of billions, if not trillions, it will barely leave a mark.
BoA has 5 trillion -- yes, with a "t" -- assets under management. The bank makes tens of billions in profit every year.
The $1.2B fine probably didn't even cover the profits that BoA made on all the illegal transfers.

A former whistleblower from HSBC says:
Cool story bro, but I lost my career and everything I had and slept on a mattress in a 300x300 room and got a job waiting tables after I reported a fraud of similar scale. People who know what's happening in every damn bank in America know the same things I knew, and they know what happened to me, and they ain't gonna blow no whistles unless you drop with the fairy-ass fines and do something effective. ARREST PEOPLE OR NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Hi, someone here who actually lived in China for 10 years and not in a multi-million dollar mansion... Theft is of course RAMPANT in China. My wallet got stolen out of my backpack while I was playing pick-up basketball at a local playground... My Chinese girlfriend (secretary for a state-owned corporation who lived in a tiny apartment with her parents; nowhere near wealthy) had 3 bikes stolen from her, and someone snatched her purse out her bike basket while she was riding to work (which made her take the bus and quit riding her bike)... There were always reports about different pick-pocket schemes going on in the street markets... This is such a ridiculous f-ing statement by this cunt. Sure, VIOLENT crime is relatively rare there. But if this twat ever set foot on a common street or in a common market, she'd be robbed in under 5 mins...

For those that missed it.
CNN and MSNow were doing happy dances after President Trump said the execution wouldn't be livestreamed. After the mid-terms - we'll see. I'll be fine with pay-per-view.
Talarico's town hall on CNN was nicely choreographed and he came across as not-creepy and normal - for a Dem. He basically gave stock Dem answers designed to not scare the normies. As Lizzy commented, yeah, just lie to people until he gets in power. That seemed to be the strategy. I watch the first hour while doing dishes and cleaning the microwave.
Zerohedge had an article on 'student protests' spreading. Oh, I hope so. Let's get this on.
And if the bank people can't be executed, some poor lady on "Let's make a Deal" just won free movies for a year. That'd be a nice start for punishment.

Stop calling me Shirley. You may think this is a crime, until you realize who writes 99% of the banking laws and regulations, and who donates billions to politicians, and who hires armies of lobbyists, and who employs almost everyone who leaves government banking regulators, and who is so large and powerful they practically control the entire country.

Mad-Hercules - She Has The Perfect Offer😭
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ab5Mtu_UY3E
Surprisingly few commenters (both in Asmon's live feed and on Hercules's short) were hung up on her several mental illnesses; I guess that's just par for the course these days. Surprisingly many were hung up on her $100k debt, which if it's student debt is also par for the course. Commenters were suspiciously silent on her sobriety-as-achievement, while an accurate number were hung up on her being a thief, and no one noted her own suspicious silence on motherhood status.
But what really puts this over the top is almost a throwaway line near the end: Shrek roleplay. Everyone was puzzled. What does that even mean? It took me to the following day to realize, she means that she farts -- a lot -- a lot a lot -- so much that she hopes it won't be a boner-killer.

NEW: California-based federal judge Jinsook Ohta (Biden appointee) has ruled that the U.S. State Department must reinstate its Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery for fiscal year 2027 by Sunday.
The program offers permanent residency in the U.S. to 50,000+ applicants every year, typically from countries with lower immigration to the U.S. Many come from Africa.
The Trump admin suspended the program last year after a Portuguese national who came to the U.S. via the diversity lottery was suspected of a deadly shooting at Brown University & the murder of a MIT professor before taking his own life.

Now reading this my take is you are 60 with a paid off house and $4M in savings. Even if it gains no interesting you can spend $100K/year and leave your kids substantial money. I wonder if your wife just doesn't want you around the house all day...

What if rather than invade, China imposed a naval blockade to test whether Taiwan is willing to shoot first?
Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at October 15, 2026 12:55 PM (JzUSu)
I rather suspect that while a naval blockade would be the smarter play, China really wants to militarily crush Taiwan like a bug in order to exact revenge on the KMT for kicking their ass 90-odd years ago, forcing them to undergo the Long March in order to survive. The ChiCom victory in 1949 was only a partial victory, since the KMT escaped to Taiwan where the ChiComs couldn't get their hands on them.

Look on the bright side. Osama was dumped overboard into the ocean, so every time you flush the toilet, the runoff ends up in the same ocean, either directly or after being passed through a sewage treatment facility before being dumped into the nearest river. So in effect, you're pissing on Osama's grave.

The mohammedans actually have a plan for the future. Of course that plan involves the whole world living in huts without running water, dorking goats up the squeekhole, shitting in the street and wiping their ass with a bare hand because that's what Mo did 1400 years ago.

The Morning Rant: Coal Deserves A Second Look
[click to enlarge]
Coal kept the cost of electricity at an affordable level for over a century but idealistic policy decisions to close to 300 coal plants in the last 15 years have opened the door for higher and more volatile electricity prices. In 2010, the price of electricity in the U.S. was about 11 cents per kilowatt hour. By 2026 the price of electricity has increased 75% to 19 cents. And, according to the Department of Energy, rates could increase another 40% in the next four years. Meanwhile coal generation has dropped from 45% of America's power to barely 16% today and is projected to decline another 50% by 2030. In statistics this is called an inverse correlation. Simply put, the more we reduce coal generation the more we will pay for electricity. It is a sad irony that the very people who were instrumental in prematurely closing efficient coal plants, now whine about increases in the cost of electricity.Energy is life, and inexpensive and abundant energy drives economic growth unlike any other input. We created the greatest economic engine in human history by providing that energy, and much of it was coal! The increased use of petroleum correlates with the rise of the automobile, which makes engineering sense because gasoline and diesel are so energy dense. But the steel used to build those cars was made with coal energy, and using coal for industrial power and electrical generation is a perfect pairing with petroleum for transportation. Another reason for the decline of coal and its vilification is its history as the fuel for the rise of the West, and America in particular. It is linked with post-modern evils such as industrialization, colonialism, etc. It powered the great industries of the 19th century West, and is linked with the dominance of White Europeans over the rest of the world. So the crypto-communist environmental lobby has pushed to destroy our greatest source of energy, and the intended consequence is that electricity costs have skyrocketed! Because they want us to regress to the mean, and that mean is European summers during which tens of thousands of people die from the heat, because they are too poor to afford air conditioning. And look forward to wearing coats inside during the winter, because fuel will become so expensive that Jimmy Carter's cardigan will become a quaint glimpse of a better time!

Many of the Eastern mines have closed and the Western mines are indeed strip mines. Western coal had just about pushed all the older Eastern mines into bankruptcy because the West's coal is predominately low sulfur while the East is not. Low sulfur is required to make the necessary scrubbers on emissions work.
Particulate regulation by the EPA is also something that many of the aging coal plants cannot meet without grandfathering. Same issue that required diesels to be cleaned up and required emission systems on diesel engines.
Add in all the costs of meeting environmental standards of today, I dunno if coal can be priced cheap enough for utility plants to return to using it for new plants.
In part, it is also because natural gas does fine in power generation, is quicker to start and stop, emits a lot less problematic emissions and has no problem meeting a lot of EPA standards without expensive emissions equipment.

They will not give that up easily and coal is the centerpiece of their demonization of carbon over the past three decades.
Meanwhile, China is producing new coal plants weekly.
The normies will not understand the full plan until their freezing in their homes by candlelight while reading the New York Times explaining to them how they need to cut back on energy use this month.

Because old coal power plants were in fact dirty. They dropped particulates down wind of those stacks. Same as being next to railroad tracks when coal was used for locomotives instead of diesel/electric.
New plants can be built that don't have that problem but require expensive and temperamental emissions scrubbers, etc. And that makes it easier for power companies to just turn to natural gas that does not have those problems.

We can, we can even turn it into coal gas as a nat gas substitute, but the process is kinda nasty. Coal gas sites from over a century ago are still EPA superfund type sites because of the nasty concentrated byproducts from that process.
Carbon is wonderfully complex and has its own specialty organic chemistry that takes advantage of that. But, not all processes that can be done actually pay out without either subsidies or some other tactic like mandated alcohol content in gasoline. Synthetic gasoline production was used by the Notsees and later by South Africa during it being sanctioned but were done more from desperation in lacking crude oil to refine than from economics.

You have to subsidize it if you want coal or get rid of the environmental regulations on it via the Clean Air Act. And that is the issue regarding new power sources--how much do you subsidize or require by legislative fiat that utilities and individuals have to use it.
In some cases, like national security, we can see that producing oil at home prevented us from the Middle East vetoing our actions by oil embargoes. But Trump is not subsidizing the petroleum industry to do it. It is economically efficient for us right now. We can move to producing more coal fired plants over time but the investment is expensive compared to nat gas and either ratepayers or governments will have to pay to spin those plants up.

The anthracite coal burns pretty clean, but I think that is mostly PA and OH areas. Can get it by the bag at Tractor Supply type places for $12 for a 40 pound bag, which makes about 16,200 BTUs.

Patents would be dead by now. 20 year limit. We know how to do it. South Africa used it prior to apartheid falling in the 1990's. It is just not price competitive and has problems with the leftover byproducts that can be quite toxic.
Again, we either subsidize it or require its use like ethanol by legislative fiat.
Actually, compressed natural gas is probably a better option under that circumstance and if you had to, you can make an ersatz natural gas aka coal gas from coal. Easier than distillation process. Many old cities in the US had coal gas plants.

We had a coal furnace back in the 50's when I was a kid. My dad worked midnights at a local factory, so my mom would go down to the basement, shake down the grates, and shovel some coal into the fire, making sure it was spread evenly. She would open the small vent on the furnace door to keep a constant draft all night. It was a boiler that made steam for the cast iron radiators. Steady heat all night. If I remember, we used around 9 or 10 tons of coal over the winter. We converted to oil in 1961. No more coal bin, no more shoveling coal.

Clinton era. The reason I know about the nazi water fuel was my FiL worked for Gunnerman at A55. I worked there as a security guard for a few weeks before the lawsuits took everything.
A55 was all about eliminating gas and diesel. Claimed and proved 0 emissions until the EPA changed what an emission was. I think at the behest of the Onasis family.

I don't expect it to happen instantly.
But we just should not abandon coal like we are doing.
This shouldn't have happened to begin with, as we closed too many coal fired plants down that could have been modernized and we wouldn't be facing electricity price hikes like we have seen.
We could be investing in more hydropower, too, but the environmentalists can't stand a blocked river.

Energy production and use are textbook examples of tradeoffs. Lots of items can be 'burned' or in nuclear, split or fused, to produce energy. But each source has its own cost/benefit analysis that makes it quite complex to just get the economics correct.
And you get nat sec problems when you rely on cheap energy that suddenly is no longer available due to crises abroad. And then you are properly f*cked just like Germany is right now. They shut down their nukes and went all in on solar/wind when it did not make sense literally but could do so because they imported cheap Russian nat gas.
Now that is gone, and they are stuffed.

Simpler, as was stated countless times before....
LIBs plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as its standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.
"Sooner or later you figure out that pragmatism and compromise are principles in a democracy. It's not selling out your convictions." -- Clinton'2005
It's PRECISELY THAT for people who are not Purposfully Morally Blind.
MORAL VANDALISM is the sine qua non of the LIBS, even as they prepare the next rollout of both CLINTON's to find new targets, to level the plane and tilt the wings to inflict maximum damage.
Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans." -- Bill Clinton '93

Public executions have been a European thing since the Greeks & Romans at least. The French used it as their main form of entertainment for awhile in the late 1700s.

All solvable if you have a bunch of soldiers to protect you but in a society free fall, those soldiers have every reason to just get rid of the dweeb issuing orders and take his shit. Being rich does not equate to being respected by 'troops' nor does lead from behind.

Had Bill Clinton have even the smallest shred of integrity he wouldn't have told the BlackHawk down families it was their own fault that they were dead when in fact it was Les Aspin who denited them the armor support they requested.
Had Bill Clinton been capable of tearing his eyes away for one moment from the superbowl to give the go code for OBL to be taken out when they had the opportunity ... ibid.

I have often wondered how they think they will hold on once the money system collapses and the world runs on hard resource acquisition and the ability to hold on to it. No offense but the tech titans will get taken out within the first few months by the biggest and baddest of their security teams, who will build their own "governing system" and who will distribute the spoils - the women - as appropriate. Misogynistic complaining will get you a beating. Continued complaining will get you thrown out of the compound where you will die of exposure and get eaten by a wolf.

I agree pretty much. Feudal lords got to be the top dog because they earned it originally and the whole system required heirs to go through complex military training and leading troops into battles to keep it. It was not until much much later that these feudal lines became decadent in softer ages than the founders had.

These panels once formed the inner and outer faces of polyptych wings, with the Annunciation serving as the exterior and Christ Carrying of the Cross, with the Crucifixion and The Resurrection, with the Pilgrims of Emmaus (1975.1.119A-B) the interior. Painted by Gerard David in the early years of the sixteenth century, the pictures reveal the influence of the artist’s fifteenth-century predecessors on his compositional style and palette. Although it is possible that the wings once flanked a single painted panel component, thus forming a triptych, it is also conceivable that they could have been elements of a more complex multimedia altarpiece with carved sections surrounded by two-dimensional painted panels. The Lehman wings were, possibly very early in their existence, linked to a painting of the Lamentation that was also created in the David workshop and which is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Two days ago, the lovely and art-loving Mrs naturalfake and I went to the Meadows Museum of Art on the SMU Campus.
It's dedicated to Spanish and South American art from the 10th century through the 20th.
Mostly, religious art and portraits. Folks like Picasso as well.
The religious art had some Annunciation paintings, but more paintings depicting the Immaculate Conception, Madonna and Child.
And since in Ye Olde Days the paintings were hung in Church to represent difficult Christian concepts since most folk didn't read.
The oddest one was a painting that tried to depicted the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost),
which depicted the Trinity as a 3-headed Jesus merged together and sharing four eyes.
Which apparently disturbed most people, and was condemned by the Church and ordered destroyed, and that interpretation banned as well.

Gerard David
Gerald David was renowned as a master colorist, his religious scenes are characterized by serene, calm atmospheres, luminous tones, and quiet spirituality. (Wikipedia)
Gabriel was another Archangel with roles in major religions:
• Christianity: Known for the Annunciation, where he appeared to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would conceive and bear Jesus. He also foretold the birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and is traditionally associated with the trumpet of Judgment Day.
• Islam: Revered as Jibrīl (or Jibrail), the chief angel who acted as the divine medium who revealed and transmitted the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad.
• Judaism: Appears in the Book of Daniel to interpret the prophet's visions and is viewed alongside Michael as a guardian of the Jewish people.
Celebrated on September 29 (Feast of the Archangels) in Western Christianity, and March 26 and July 13 in Eastern Orthodoxy.

One of the earliest recorded uses of henna for hair is found on Egyptian mummies, such as Ahmose-Henuttamehu (circa 1574 BCE) and mummies from Thebes around 1000 BCE, whose hair was stained red using henna.
In the 1950s, Lucille Ball popularized the "henna rinse" through her character Lucy Ricardo on I Love Lucy.

“My soul exalts the Lord,
47And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48“For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave;
For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
49“For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
And holy is His name.
50“AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
51“He has done mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.
52“He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
And has exalted those who were humble.
53“HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS;
And sent away the rich empty-handed.
54“He has given help to Israel His servant,
In remembrance of His mercy,
55As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and his offspring forever.”

one who will be ruler over Israel,

from ancient times.”
Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites.
He will stand and shepherd his flock
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness
will reach to the ends of the earth.”

Another argument over night, so here is the math.
Ohio to date is 245,000 IPEV and 74,500 AB. Total of 320,000 EV.
In 2022 there were 1,392,767 EVs.
To match 2022 1,072,767 additional EVs need to be returned.
In 2022 92% of ballot requests were returned. Since there are 657,054 current requests, and 74,500 AB returned, there could be 520,789 (595,289 - 74,500) additional AB come in, to match the 2022 return rate.
If this happens then IPEV needs to make up 551,997 votes to close the gap. This is 35,935 votes per day over the remaining 15 IPEV days.
Current IPEV is 35,071 per day, so IPEV is lagging 2.5%. This is assuming that IPEV does not need to compensate for AB at all.
AB return is averaging 10,642 per day. To make up for unreturned ballots that needs to increase to a 26,039 per day average. AB is lagging 59%
If we roughly assume that mail return stays about the same and that IPEV needs to pick up the slack, then the IPEV rate needs to go up to 61,584 per day, meaning it would currently be lagging 43%.
If you are emotionally invested in Ohio matching the 2022 early vote, you are hoping that there are a lot of ballots in the mail.

Exactly. And for the EU Summit -
EU News, In part, Zelenskyy ‘betrayed’: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who will join the summit tomorrow, said on Wednesday that his country is losing a key ally in the US and admitted feeling “betrayed” by Donald Trump, as relations between Kyiv and Washington hit a new low, my colleague Sasha Vakulina reports.
Asked by British broadcaster Piers Morgan whether Ukraine is losing American support, Zelenskyy replied: “Yeah, but not because of us. We can't be weak.”
“It's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side,” he said. Asked whether he felt betrayed, Zelenskyy answered: “Really, yes,” although he stressed that the situation was more complicated than his personal feelings.
US eyes frozen assets: Meanwhile, the FT also reports that US negotiators have proposed that European countries unfreeze some of Russia’s immobilised state assets and transfer them to a financial vehicle controlled by Washington as a means of unblocking stalled peace talks.

No voter registration in OH, so the closest is precinct analysis.
@TonerousHyus is doing that. Follow him. Essentially, Dems seem to be running a couple of points better than 2024 in OH so far. Which means...a deep red state is still a deep red state.
Dems always outvote Republicans in early vote in every state. It's like worrying about Mississippi because Jackson votes Democrat.
What matters is how close the margin gets by the end of early voting, and how much Republicans win the election day vote (which they always do).
But, PA doesn't have any major federal elections, especially statewide like a senate race, so it'll be more susceptible to overall turnout advantages of the out of power party.

Ohio being a swing state is a remnant of 20 years ago, Brown recently losing as an incumbent 2 years ago, and a polling industry that has a proven record of not being able to (or refusing to) accurately reach rural working class voters at such a level that it's been throwing off polling by double digits for years now.
The only way it works is if there will be depressed rural voting and the youth will turnout at higher levels, like the 2025 gubernatorial elections in NJ and VA, but those are effectively special elections that midterm senate elections won't mimic.
