"America is Going Down!:" Ahmadrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Speaks At Islamic Extremist Conference Where Terror-Priests Threaten America

Tuq'r Qarlson has one question: Why did the Jews do this?

What is the game they are running on the goys?

Many people are too afraid to ask these important questions. Tuq'r is not.


Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's speech at a controversial Islamic convention in Detroit this weekend was sandwiched between a video montage featuring a firebrand imam declaring that "America is going down" and a speech from another cleric who said members of Congress who voted for an antisemitism bill were "guilty of treason."

The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier.

The Islamic Society of North America kicked off day two of its annual confab on Saturday with a montage of clips from various convention speakers, including imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

"I am ashamed of what America has become," Wahhaj says in the undated clip. "Look at the newspaper every day, how America is going down."

The montage also showed a clip of El-Sayed lamenting his experiences in the wake of the 9/11 attacks as a "kid with a funny name and an olive complexion."


3,000 Americans dead, Muslims the Real Victims Here.

And it ended with a graphic that included an infamous photo of El-Sayed fist-bumping Hasan Piker, the left-wing influencer who declared that "America deserved 9/11."

El-Sayed delivered his scheduled remarks minutes later and gave a standard campaign stump speech that focused on cost-of-living issues, as well as his experiences as a Muslim in America.

"Muslim Americans, they want to tell us that we don't belong. They want to tell us that this country's not ours, that because of our names or how we pray that we are somehow less than," said El-Sayed.

No, it's not because of your "funny names." It's because you worship a "god" who tells you to kill the infidels -- us -- and you are constantly justifying such murders.
Some people did some things with some planes and some buildings.

Oh, and your piratical cousins steal billions from us when they're not just sponging off us with infinite welfare grifting.


He was followed by Zaid Shakir, a prominent New Jersey cleric, and Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks.

Shakir, who once asserted that "Zionist forces" were behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, railed against the U.S. government over its support for Jews and Israel, singling out a congressional vote to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of "anti-Semitism."

"When the United States Congress passes laws on behalf of a genocidal, rapacious, nefarious foreign country to deny us the freedom of speech ... that is a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States," Shakir declared. "And as such, they are guilty of treason."


...

Both Uygur and Shakir have embraced conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks, in which 2,977 Americans were killed by al Qaeda operatives.

"I no longer believe [sic] official 9/11 story," Uygur said in February. He also promoted the "dancing Israelis" myth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that posits that five Israeli spies filmed and celebrated the terrorist attack. "I didn't know we arrested Israeli spies who were here to 'document the event,'" wrote Uygur.

And Shakir has called for an "examination" of what he described as "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies" in the official 9/11 narrative. He has urged followers to read the works of David Ray Griffin, a leading 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has argued that the United States orchestrated the attacks. And Shakir asserted that the U.S. government used the attacks to "launch a war on Islam." Shakir, who in a discussion on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 stated that he was "extremely anti-American," has also called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.

In a 1992 treatise, Shakir asserted that "every major Muslim political gain" in modern history was brought about by "extrasystemic political action"--including guerrilla warfare. He cited the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the "armed struggle" that led to Taliban control of Afghanistan.

A copy of Shakir's pamphlet was discovered in the apartment of a suspect in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the New York Times reported in 2006.

It appears that all the normal people in NYC have left and shut the door. To come to this after 25yrs post 9/11...well, I didn't expect this. Flying cars, yes, but not this.

11 Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba insisted on Wednesday morning that his nation would not participate in any event without approval from Charles, adding that he felt motivated to quash 'that Harry-Meghan nonsense'.

The move came less than 48 hours after the King outlined in a letter that the duke and duchess are still not working royals despite the couple relocating to the UK a fortnight ago.

The letter was said to have blindsided Harry and Meghan, who claimed they did not have enough time to clarify the King's points before the guidance was released to the media.

And the Sussexes have now reportedly blamed Uganda's decision to withdraw from the Invictus Games on the letter, which was released on His Majesty's instruction by his Lord Chamberlain on Monday.

A source close to Harry and Meghan told ITV News tonight: "Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain's guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday.

Sadly, the only people who will suffer are the Invictus Games competitors."

Left Agitates for Killing People in the Streets for Socialism
James Talarico's "Pastor" Says He Wishes the Butler Assassin Had Been "More Successful"

Jonathan Turley:


"You better get ready for ... war." Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a "Big Tent Party," socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.

In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States....

Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism.

University of California Santa Barbara History Professor Butch Ware said Democrats "must be destroyed" and urged attendees to be ready for "war in the streets." Notably, in postings on X, Ware has said that candidates such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are too restrained and are being pushed by the establishment "to contain radicalism."

The professor "of Africa and Islam" whose faculty page is appropriately found under "bware" is the latest radical to dismiss the "Big Tent Party" rhetoric of establishment figures like Schumer. He declared, "The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons."

...

Hasan Piker has called for a purging of moderates from the Democratic Party.

Just last week, Darializa Avila Chevalier declared, "A big tent doesn't pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does."

In a video posted to X, Professor Ware called for violence, warning followers that "some of these clickety-clack revolutionaries have never been in a f*cking gunfight." He menacingly added, "Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets. You better get ready for both kinds of war if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready."

...

Notably, this is the same university that saw a professor lead her students in physically assaulting pro-life advocates on campus years ago. Despite pleading guilty to criminal assault, she was not fired and later honored by the University of Oregon for her inspiring leadership.

Totally-heterosexual James Talarico's totally-heterosexual "pastor" says that he wishes the Trump assassins had been "more successful."

Actually he just refers to one Trump assassin, the one who actually hit Trump, but there are, what, four now?

The left used a long march through the institutions of education. Trump's taken on higher ed, at least to some degree and probably to the limits that the GOPe will permit. However, he needs to directly uproot the K-12 system. It probably has to wait until after the mid-term, but then he needs to hit the ground running.

He declared, "The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons.""

I read an analysis that said Paxton has played this exactly right.

The destruction of the nuclear family, the advancement of government dependence, the lack of tether to anything resembling history, the dumbing down of education and achievement, and the concept that life owes everyone a living have destroyed what was a reasonably coherent nation.

The old ladies at the church will tell you, priests come and priests go, but the Church remains for us. The same is true of Popes. Catholics have always withstood bad Popes, through the centuries. Hell, we've withstood not having a Pope because the idiots in the Curia wouldn't vote on one. Popes are not the Church, just like bad priests are not the Church. I could never abandon the Mass and the Sacraments, and neither of them depend on the sanctity of the priest offering them. They are the way Jesus comes to us physically, and I just could never leave that fountain of grace and mercy.

YMMV.

Well, why have them if you aren't going to talk to them? Sorry, I'm Catholic, and we believe the Saints are called saints because they are in heaven, and see Jesus face to face, as it says in the Bible, so there's no reason why we can't ask them to intercede for us, just as we ask others on earth to pray for us. What's the point of having a saint if they are just there standing around?

I understand the notion of idolatry, but that's not what we do since saints are clearly not God, so it is a bit difficult to understand from my viewpoint.

Protestantism started as a reaction to the Church in N Europe who wanted to cut down on the importance of the Hierarchy partly because it was planted in areas far from their local areas. Also they tended to introduce the use of the local languages in the liturgy. Saints tended to get dialed down as part of the process in favor of emphasizing the Bible itself.

If all the bruthas simply stopped shooting each other, and instead trained their guns on Whitey, then we could easily wipe them out and take control of America in a matter of weeks.

That's basically the same thing that this "professor" is saying. Except now it's stale cringe.

The "Gangstas vs. Rednecks" shooting war would indeed be over in a matter of weeks. But it wouldn't have the outcome Professor Ware envisions.

211 O/T sort of (having a weird day post sinus stuff, lack of sleep, whining in mind but haven't murdered anyone yet as a Gemini...I could snap any minute).

I went to reddit for Markle snark and there was a photo montage of 4 people: Clancy, Bin Laden, Hitler and Diddy (I think that's him, dunno).

The question was this: You babysitter cancelled at the last minute and who would you leave your kids with? On reddit!

Most people say Hitler.

No one says Clancy or Diddy. A few people say Bin Laden.

In spite of the liberal wimmen spew even insane reddit people don't like Clancy or her bird of prey face. She reeks evil to me.

I see the propaganda now working on another blog. A dissertation of one person (I've never heard of) who doubts Clancy and thinks Patrick because of a meme! Because none of her DNA on the exercise bands or knife!!

My answer, that I did not bother to give, was with all of her planning she probably wore gloves. DUH! Nurses wear nitrile gloves all the time. She had time to put on gloves, Edith.

222 Protestantism started as a reaction to the Church in N Europe who wanted to cut down on the importance of the Hierarchy partly because it was planted in areas far from their local areas. Also they tended to introduce the use of the local languages in the liturgy. Saints tended to get dialed down as part of the process in favor of emphasizing the Bible itself.

Protestantism went to afterburner when the Northern European monarchs and principalities saw it as an opportunity to steal Church property through expropriation and royal authority. The "Stripping of the Altars" was a revolutionary event that made a lot of people very, very rich.

Manufacturing Jobs Surge Thanks to Trump's Tariffs and America First Agenda

The Regime doesn't like this.

People with steady jobs have confidence and people with confidence can oppose the Regime.


American manufacturing is on the rebound -- and that good news could hardly come at a better time for President Donald Trump, as Republicans gird themselves for the midterm elections just two months from now.

Manufacturing isn't the only sector that's on a hiring spree; businesses across the board added 162,000 new jobs in August.

Even The New York Times called the latest employment numbers "zesty."

The paper quoted T. Rowe Price's chief US economist, Blerina Uruci: "It's a very good report . . . And it perhaps shows that financial conditions more broadly are not that tight."

The workforce participation rate rose as well -- which matters, because people who drop out of the labor force are invisible in unemployment rates that only count those who are looking for work.

This economy is pulling Americans who'd given up hope off the sidelines and putting them to work.

That's a success not only for Trump's economic policy, but for his immigration crackdown, too: It's no longer so easy for companies to abandon Americans by hiring foreign workers instead.

Establishment economists predicted none of this.

They were certain Trump's tariffs would be catastrophic, and that American industry would contract without constant infusions of foreign labor.

Relentless efforts to stop the president's economic agenda in the courts created uncertainty that's bad for business.

Companies have to make plans based on a predictable environment of taxation and regulation -- if nobody knows whether tariffs will remain in place, nobody can afford to make long-range decisions about re-shoring jobs and buying from American suppliers instead of sources overseas.

That's what the president's foes -- who want maximum economic globalization -- were counting on.

...

Yet all the lawfare of the past year hasn't stopped the America First employment agenda from succeeding.

The results have been especially impressive in manufacturing, where the latest numbers show the biggest growth coming from jobs that make long-lasting products.

As Peter Navarro, former director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, notes in RealClearMarkets, "Manufacturing employment rose by 16,000 in August, with nearly all of that gain coming from durable-goods manufacturing."

Trump and Vance are also promoting their planned reversal of an LBJ-era rule that homes with a stay-at-home mother are not eligible for family subsidies available to homes with only working parents.


The White House is reportedly planning to reverse a half-century of damage to the nuclear family by rewarding married parents who stay home and raise their children, as Vice President JD Vance appears poised to officially announce the program's addition on Thursday at the Republican National Convention's (RNC) Dallas gathering.

"A two-parent family is the best place in which to raise a kid, and certainly it's a sacrifice. But our job is to raise good children who become good citizens, and so I think that this is an important initiative," Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks told Just The News.

The administration is drafting a rule that would let stay-at-home married parents receive subsidies from the $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund. Vance has made the initiative a priority, telling the crowd at his Marietta, Georgia rally on Saturday: "What's left over with the ashes of what they've torn down is socialism. Well, we've got a different approach, my friends. We want to invest in you. We want to fight for you, and we want to fight for your children's future."

"We're going to defeat socialism by giving you a stake in the American dream and that's how we're going to win the future. Our goal is to reverse a concensus that has screwed over communities like this one for decades," Vance concluded.

Under the draft, one married parent could receive aid to care for their own child while a spouse works at least 35 hours a week. Unmarried couples and nonworking single parents would remain ineligible.

The program now serves about 1.3 million children, mostly in households headed by single-working parents. Critics say expanding eligibility without extra funding would squeeze current recipients and providers, and the rule will need White House approval and a public comment period to take effect next .

I saw one conservative object to this plan by saying that the aid is a socialist measure and extending socialist measures to stay-at-home-mom families is still extending socialism.

I guess that's true -- but the socialist measure is already on the books and is unlikely to be repealed. Given that -- does it make sense to deny these child subsidies to parents just because one parent raises the kids at home?

The estimates I see are that married stay at home mothers voted Trump 57-43 versus 52-47 for married but not stay at home.

So I'd pay money to get more of that 52% into the 57%.

And honestly having kids raised by their own mother is better for them then daycare.

9 I do see a fair number of couples where both work and the argument is they need both salaries.

When you run the math on taxes, daycare, and the other incidentals though the lesser earning spouse is barely actually earning anything so a small bump here might be enough to have that spouse just stay home

Another point on this - the left works politically because people get paid to be part of the left. We identify this as socialism and it usually is, but the bigger problem isn't we have socialist measures it is that we are paying people to be leftwingers.

Well, fine, even under Trump we've only been able to nibble at the edges of this so screw it do the same thing but pay people to be rightwingers. This is war isn't it?

Though the cap stone we need to find a way to tax NGOs, blue states, and government workers to pay for this.

16 The counter attack the left seems to have settled on is that most job growth has been to females. I have seen that meme all over.

I think what has happened is that most of the deportees are male, so US men have significant job growth, but it is replacing foreign men and so does not appear in the selected data.

US women are both seeing jobs replacing foreign men, and the growth in the economy, but they are not seeing near as much decrease do to deportations.

20 The New Deal is a century old. You are never ever repealing the social democratic welfare state. The only question is who is to be subsidized, and who are to be placed on the government payroll.

The reason the Left has won, is winning, and will continue to win is that when they win elections they use that power to reward their supporters with real benefits. When the Democrats win a Presidential election they fire every rightwing and apolitical appointee and employee and give leftist true believers jobs. They then create vast new government programs which employ their voters.

If you work for a winning Democratic campaign, you get a job. If you vote for a winning Democratic candidate, your life gets better in real tangible ways. They take money from their enemies and give it to their friends and they never ever apologize for it, in fact they crow about it, they boast about it, and then impotent rightwing commentators whine about "WHAT IF THE SITUATIONS WERE REVERSED?"

A true rightwing administration would fire every federal employee who was unmarried, nonwhite, or sexually deviant, and replace them with married white men.

If the problem is that someone does not earn enough, cut government, cut taxes. 25% percent of stay at home parents are male.

If things are so bad back home give them a few months of military training and some rifles.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'll admit I lean towards thinking we're going to have to do everything we can to encourage people to have children, and that the ones we most need to encourage are the smarter, harder working ones who are currently the least fertile cohort.

48 Part of the reason the governing elites pushed so hard for women to join the workforce in mass was to pump up economic numbers but its mostly fake.

If a mother is paying 80% of her take home salary in daycare and related costs this is not a win for anyone.

The left argues we should "fix" this by giving those mothers "free" daycare which would be a nightmare on so many levels but incentive all mothers to work.

This reverses that, for the cases where the mother wants to stay home but needs the bump from the money left over from daycare this should be enough...

76 But the GOP senator from Kansas decides he's on Canada's side because Bombardier has a factory in Kansas . He doesn't care that Canada doesn't let Gulfstream do regular business in Canada. It's all about short term self interest instead of long term American interest.

77 The deficit is now into unmanageable territory. But I guess that doesn’t sell to well to the voters who just want more free shit. Entitlements that are mandatory already consume more than half of the federal budget. It dwarfs defense spending. Good grief.

Another thing that should be mentioned over and over is that these are private sector jobs. Lots of GOP presidents have promised to shrink the size of government. Trump did it.

But that's a better way. It's your money. You just get to keep it. I thought an asian country did that.

90 Hypothesis:

J.D. Vance has merely been given the difficult assignment of appealing to the Neanderthal Right, and is actually cleverer and more politically astute than he sometimes might appear.

The Setting:

2028 is looming. It's becoming clear that the two GOp nominees are: Rubio, and Vance. Whom shall we pick?

The Problem:

Rubio seems smarter, more eloquent, more politically attuned to MAGA. Vance is OK on a lot of issues, but for unknown reasons he's been disturbingly Tucker-curious. And he appeals more to the "knuckle-dragging" contingent of the GOP, i.e. paleo-conservatives, rather than the post-modern Trump-style conservatives. The problem? As VP, Vance is the presumptive nominee. Even though Rubio seems like a better bet to harvest easy victories coast-to-coast. His Hispanic name will also be a big plus, netting millions of votes in Hispanic-heavy states like Florida, Arizona, etc.

Solution, and hypothesis:

Vance is part of Trump's inner circle, and he was given the most difficult political assignment of all: Keep the knuckle-draggers in the GOP tent. So he purposely acts Tucker-curious as a strategy, not because he actually believes it.

Agree?

Axshully, it was Congress that passed the Big Beautiful Bill because that is what the Constitution mandates. Yea, it was Trump's idea as were all the tax cuts but Congress appropriates money and then the Executive is legally bound to spend. He's allowed to make some modification as Trump is proposing by sending some of the appropriated funds to parents instead of to LaQuisha but he still has to spend it.

We need a better Congress if we really want spending cuts of any significance.

Funny you should mention that. I was listening to AM Dallas talk radio the other day and they had on the guy running for Texas district 34 and he pretty much said the same thing when asked about expanded government spending to give to parents to stay home.


His take was there is no way at this point we are ever going to reign in any sort of government spending and it is going to continue to grow so why can't we toss some $$$$ to parents who want to stay home and raise kids.


He is not wrong. But I disagree with this new subsidy because like all other forms of government handouts it will be rife with fraud and illegals getting money.

_______

The "rich people bored" angle on polyamory is mostly old school swinging, where they don't choose permanent second partners. It's much more common than people think.

The new trendy "polyamory" among the less financially secure is basically just roommates sharing rent and expenses. Maybe they're fucking each other, maybe not. But poly is very trendy at the moment, so more people will claim to be poly than actually practice it.

148 Axshully, it was Congress that passed the Big Beautiful Bill because that is what the Constitution mandates. Yea, it was Trump's idea as were all the tax cuts but Congress appropriates money and then the Executive is legally bound to spend.

Posted by: JackStraw at September 09, 2026 04:04 PM (viF8m)


The president is not obligated to spend all of the funds. He can rescind spending after notifying Congress. That forces them to commit to the spending. Sure, they will do nothing, and then they can be called out for it.

It's not new and the program has not been expanded. Trump doesnt have that power. No president does.

Congress already appropriated the money. Trump is just trying to move some of the money Congress already approptiated to what he sees as a better cause.

The reason Trump was impeaced over Ukraine is Democrats in Congress were claiming Trump was refusing to spend money that Congress had appropriated for Ukraine. Once Congress appropriates it, the Executive must spend it. The only argument here is handouts to which group?

1) Gas prices
2) He didn't reverse Bidenflation with a massive 50% deflation event.

Ok the second one is insane. Trump reduced 20% Bidenflation back to a normal 3% rate, but he can't really return prices to pre-Biden levels via deflation.

Unfortunately that inflation is permanent - the left spent the money on welfare for illegals.

This has stopped in recent years because of government bureaucracy and inflation.

The FNM will tell you it is a shame the minimum wage isn't $30 but the problem is the costs of food, energy, and healthcare should be about 1/4th to 1/10th of what they are now. And would be if we didn't open a "war on poverty"

Iran launches several missiles at US warships. They all miss or are intercepted = US destroys 5 IRGC oil tankers. The Persians can't afford that loss ratio, but they'll keep attacking in order to feed the doom and gloom story to the MSM. This will continue all the way up to the mid-term elections.

Posted by: 18-1 at September 09, 2026 04:19 PM (sKqQm)
------

It's because boss babes aren't sexually attractive to normal men. They aren't feminine. They're masculine, competitive, and generally hard to be around in a domestic situation.

Basically the old adage: "No matter how hot she is, there's a man out there that's tired of her shit." So when the soft 25 year old nanny brushes up against the dad in the kitchen and he starts thinking with the wrong head, that's basically what's to blame.

Trump does not have the power to refuse to spend money Congress has already appropriated. That's the Constitution. He can have his administration move some of the money in the same department it was targeted for as Trump is trying to do here but it's still going to be spent and not even God himself seems to be able to stop the dipshits in Congress from continuing to spend more every single year no matter how big our debt.

Texas School Board Approves "Controversial" Theory That the 9/11 Attacks Were Inspired by Radical Islamic Ideology

The only controversial idea here is that it is radical Islamic ideology that inspired the attacks.

Some might say that plain-old Islam was behind the terrorist slaughter.

The Texas Board of Education gave final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity.

The amended social studies curriculum, which covers US history, government and world geography, comes after dozens of people gave public testimony, with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version.

The board approved language asserting that "radical Islam" motivated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terrorist groups involved in the attack.

The material also requires students to study early Islam through Prophet Muhammad's "brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes," the "normalization of slavery" and the taking of female captives as "harem slaves."

Several Democratic State Board of Education members pushed back against the wording, but the Republican-majority board still approved that section and the other changes on Friday.

Muslim groups and students, as well as multiple curriculum experts, also spoke out against the new changes.

"I feel attacked, as if my religion doesn't belong," Habiiba Quresh, a 15-year-old Muslim student, told the board, according to The Texas Tribune. "I shouldn't have to defend my religion in the middle of history class because of one sentence someone on this board wrote."

When the Regime wants to talk endlessly about whites practicing slavery, and whites complain, the Regime says that whites are babies with "white fragility" who are just covering up their "white supremacist culture."

When you point out that Islam enslaved hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Americans, and Jefferson had to send multiple squadrons of ships to stop Muslims from enslaving us, they whine that you're imposing your white supremacy on them.

Only (((some people))) are required to reckon with their ancestors' unsavory actions.

At the WSJ, John J. Miller notes that "The Road to 9/11" aired once and then was buried forever.

A 9/11 Story Some Want Us to Forget

'The Path to 9/11' suggested some inconvenient truths 20 years ago. It's been memory-holed ever since.

A television miniseries disappeared down the memory hole. "The Path to 9/11" aired exactly once, two decades ago. Then it vanished. ABC hasn't shown it since. The network has refused to release it on a disc or as a download. No streaming service carries it.

It's almost like someone doesn't want you to watch it.

Millions of Americans saw the docudrama in 2006, on the fifth anniversary of 9/11. It played across two nights, without commercials. Its major inspiration was the final report of the 9/11 Commission, the bipartisan panel empowered by federal law to investigate the terrorist attacks.

"Few people actually read the report," says Quinn Taylor, the former ABC executive who conceived of the show, in an interview. "Our goal was to put it in living rooms and make people think."

...

"The Path to 9/11" is a gripping story of failure....

A lot of Democrats took "The Path to 9/11" seriously. Instead of letting it become an occasion to learn from the mistakes of past, however, they proclaimed political grievances. They disliked its suggestion that President Clinton was too distracted by his paramour Monica Lewinsky. They objected to its depictions of Clinton administration figures who blocked O'Neill and others as they tried to thwart bin Laden. They didn't care that many of the people behind the program were fellow Democrats. "I'm to the left of the left," says Hans Proppe, a producer. "We were just telling history."

The most controversial scene involves CIA operatives and their tribal allies in Afghanistan as they prepare to snatch bin Laden from a remote compound. With the villain in their sights, they seek a green light from President Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger, played by Kevin Dunn. At first, Berger dithers in the situation room. He looks weak. Ultimately, he refuses to grant the go-ahead order. When the bad news arrives down range, an Afghan warrior asks a devastating question: "Are there any men left in Washington or are they all cowards?"

Berger and others claimed that this never happened. Yet it's based on an incident described in "The 9/11 Commission Report." In 1998 the CIA had identified a possible bin Laden hideout near Kandahar, Afghanistan. For months, teams rehearsed an operation to apprehend him. The plan was risky. Officials debated whether to approve it. Days before it would have occurred, it was called off. "Impressions vary as to who actually decided not to proceed," says the report. It could have been CIA director George Tenet. There's a good chance it was Berger.

Perhaps calling it off was the right move. Maybe the mission would have failed. We'll never know. The report makes a simple observation: "No capture plan before 9/11 ever again attained the same level of detail and preparation."

A couple of weeks before the scheduled broadcast of "The Path to 9/11," ABC sponsored a screening in Washington, D.C. It showed a portion of the program, including the scene with Berger. Almost immediately, Democrats revolted. Harry Reid of Nevada, Chuck Schumer of New York, and three other senators sent a letter to Bob Iger, who was the CEO of Disney, which owns ABC. It warned him about "misinformation," urged him "to cancel this broadcast," and reminded him in the manner of extortionists who run a protection racket that ABC enjoys "a free broadcast license" from the government "to act as a trustee of the public airwaves serving in the public interest."

It was a brazen move. It might even be described as "despicable, disgusting, and against democratic values," which is what Mr. Schumer called President Trump's demands that ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel last year, after the late-night host claimed that the assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was "one of them," i.e., a member of "the MAGA gang."

At least the letter from the senators was a public document. The media reported on it. Americans could read it. In private, President Clinton phoned Mr. Iger and insisted that he stop the show, according to the journalist Carol Felsenthal in her 2008 book, "Clinton in Exile." ABC responded by ordering last-minute edits. The scene with Berger was chopped up. "That was an important sequence," says Cyrus Nowrasteh, the screenwriter. "We were censored."

...

After the single showing, ABC deep-sixed "The Path to 9/11." The company appears to have no plans for a revival. "It was cancelled before cancel culture was a thing," says David L. Cunningham, the director.

Other movies about 9/11 are available in the usual ways. These include acclaimed films such as "United 93" and "Zero Dark Thirty" as well as "Fahrenheit 9/11," the anti-Bush screed by left-wing polemicist Michael Moore. Only "The Path to 9/11" is absent, perhaps along with the movies that Hollywood never made because producers witnessed the fate of those who dared to question the legacy of Clinton 1.0 and wondered about the prospect of Clinton 2.0, as Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2008 and 2016.

Meanwhile, Islamist propagandists are claiming that images of the "Falling Men" of 9/11 are Islamophobic, and are further claiming that no one actually saw these images at the time, but were later discovered and pushed as propaganda. This is a bizarre claim, and I'm not even sure this claim, even if true, would aid the Islamists.

Hasan Piker jihadsplains that his statement that "America deserved 9/11" was "a joke" and then goes on to say that five years ago, there was reportage about the US's support of the mujahideen which resulted in "backlash" from the Islamic world that resulted in 9/11. He says that he thought this vindicated his older statement that "America deserved 9/11," but he also says that was just "a joke."

"A joke" which he's claiming was vindicated as accurate and true. You know, that kind of "joke."

The American (feather) Indians were big slavers too. Despite the pro-Indian propaganda about "noble savages," the reality was that there were very rich Indians living on yuge plantations with 100s of slaves.

You know all that whining and crying and boo-hooing about the Trail of Tears? Probably 90% of what is told about that is pure lies. One big fact left out is that the poor whittle oppressed Indians brought thousands of their black slaves with them. Hundreds of slaves died on the trip.

You will also never forget that most of them had a choice, burn to death or jump. Some of them were still smoking after jumping.

Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, family members and neighbors, who walked out the door to care for their families and we’re purposely murdered.

All in the name of a cult called islam. It’s undeniable. Democrats have adherents running for office who mutter the same cult war cry’s the 9-11 perpetrators used.

The Koran was mostly an ORAL tradition until long after Mo was dead.

Then one of his followers a couple of generations later got the bright idea to collect all of the oral traditions into a single compiled manuscript.

All other competing manuscripts (especially those that contradicted the "official" record) were purposefully destroyed so that there would only be the One True Koran.

"Solved" through the doctrine of abrogation which holds that with any contradiction in the koran, the later passages are considered to be the true word of allah. Coincidentally, that means that the earlier, peaceful Meccan suras are rendered invalid by the later, rather more bloodthirsty Medinan suras.

It is not a religion.

The main part is slavery though. It was created during a period and by a people whose main goal was to to invade neighboring villages and enslave their populations. This was a mugs game though because slaves are very hard to control -- so they needed the book. And the "prhophet" and the rules. Look closely and it is all very clear that it is only intended to control populations as they raid and expand.

177 @ 169 Im a Navy vet and was 36 when 9/11 occurred. Was so fiercely angry, I went down to the Marines recruiter. Was told I was over the max age but both they and the Army were planning to bump it upward because of the attacks. Came to my senses the following weeks. If they'd have had me at that moment I'd have gone. Watching that video gets that fire roaring again. But then I think, oh those poor Muslims and backlash, uh huh, sure.

I was working with FedEx when 9/11 happened. Our office was 3 doors down from the recruiting office. I went in on my lunch break and there were 3 Marines manning the office. I said I wanted to sign up for a 1-year tour to do combat photography. The senior sgt looked at me and asked "How old are you?" - I told him I was 42. He said I didn't make the age cut. I asked him how the hell the old dudes on CNN got over there - it was a self-answering question, yes? I still wish I'd gone …

179 Speaking of TX, this is plainly illegal discrimination.


Despite his moderate facade, Democrat Texas Senate nominee James Talarico put up several job postings that prioritized transgender and nonwhite people, according to listings reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Past Talarico political campaigns pushed numerous job listings specifically urging minorities to apply. Critics contend that this pattern in campaign hiring belies Talarico's progressive priorities and his past campaign's full embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

"Women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ applicants are strongly encouraged to apply," one listing reads.

Talarico has also openly bragged about having a majority female and minority staff, criticizing other candidates who take the minority vote for granted.

191 The first radical Islamist attacks here were relatively small starting in the 70’s, but single or small number of victims. The 1993 WTC bombing was the predecessor of 9/11, and as it failed in its design to bring the WTC down, the airplane attack of 9/11 was devised and executed. 1993 should have been the warning that was heeded, instead of ignored. I suspect most Americans don’t even remember that happened or who was responsible.

195 Should have banned all Muslim immigration after 911......

In a video that the popular X account Clown World circulated on Friday and that has amassed over 700,000 views since then, a Muslim is enraged at a Safeway supermarket. Muslim rage is nothing new, and Americans better get used to it, as we’re going to see a great deal more of it, but the setting was novel.

Clown World explained why the chap in the video was so terribly angry: “Muslim guy walks into Safeway, sees a clearly labeled halal section, then goes around the same island, spots Jimmy Dean bacon, and starts saying Safeway needs to be ‘called out.’ It’s a grocery store. They sell chicken, beef, pork, pickles, cereal, and baklava under the same roof. That’s literally the point. If your religion says don’t eat pork, then don’t buy it. The entire supermarket does not need to be rearranged so you never have to look at bacon.”

Indeed. But the creator of the video is clearly in no mood to be reasonable. The video runs with a caption, “Safeway: Halal and Haraam together,” just in case you miss what you’re supposed to be shocked about.

Biggest Dubya mistake post 9/11 is in not emulating the first thing Bull Halsey said when he sailed into Pearl Harbor the day after Japan wrecked it.

"By the time this war is over, the Japanese language will only be spoken in Hell."

Of course, even in WWII, FDR and Truman didn't go that far, but 80+ years later modern Japan has turned into a relatively reliable ally. Having the Americans drop two homemade suns onto a couple of your cities goes a long ways towards adjusting your shitty, genocidal attitude.

221 None of us will forget.

My husband's cousin, NYFD, died when the first tower collapsed. I think the FD made it up to the 36th floor and told people coming down to keep going. His other cousin, the Chief in the French documentary, locked eyes with his brother before he went to his death. They moved the command center when the souls started jumping to avoid over 1800 degree fire.

He has 50 first cousins. Large Catholic family from Queens. Many were second generation NYC firefighters or NYPD. For 48hrs 4 were missing due to communication but were ok.

In FL, #2 son had a cell phone and alerted the teacher in HS. All watched. I called son at UF and told him to stay home. My husband came home.

Our ED was notified to expect patients and, obviously, none sadly arrived.

The miracle was that most of 17k people escaped the Towers except for those above where the planes hit.

Saw the second plane hit, live, and called my husband as I knew life changed that moment.

New York Post: Disney Groomer Network ABC Will Not Renew Jimmy Kimmel's Contract, Show Will End in 2027

Oh no!

This is just what Page 6 "is told." There is no official word on this, and in fact the Disney Groomer Network is "pushing back" against the claim.

Next season of ABC's late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be the last, Page Six is told.

"His contract is not getting extended," a source familiar with the situation explained.

The season begins Tuesday and would wrap up, after 24 years on the air, in May 2027.

A spokesperson for ABC Entertainment told us, "[This] information is inaccurate -- any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative."

That's barely a denial.


Kimmel takes pride in signing year-to-year deals, which are rare in the TV biz and allow him unusual flexibility.

The news comes on the heels of Rosie O'Donnell completing a four-night guest-hosting run on his show that was a ratings success.


O'Donnell was "in her element," a source told us. So much so that she went viral for mocking her longtime nemesis, President Trump, by performing a parody of the traditional Irish song "Danny Boy" that she called "Donnie Boy."

...

Insiders say the move is unlikely to be related to Kimmel's antagonistic relationship with the Trump administration.

...

[O]ur sources say new Disney boss Josh D'Amaro wouldn't be swayed by politics.

"He's not afraid of the administration ... Josh isn't folding," the TV insider said.

D'Amaro has reportedly been offering veteran execs early retirement packages as part of restructuring and cost-cutting across the company.

Cost reductions may have played a factor in their decision to part ways with Kimmel because, as one ABC source said, "it wouldn't have anything to do with Trump."

The Rosie O'Donnell "ratings success" is a double-edged sword, isn't it?

By "ratings success," they mean the Unfunny Version of Annie Wilkes scored much higher ratings than Jimmy Kimmel.

That's not good news for Jimmy Kimmel, is it?

It's hard to find Jimmy Kimmel's average ratings, because most search results are about ratings in specific weeks. But I found an article stating that his average ratings over an entire quarter in 2025 were 1.77 million.


And Rosie O'Donnell got 1.87 million.

If I were an executive, what I would take from this is that I can plop any non-talent in the 11:35 pm slot and get better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel.

Rosie O'Donnell's "ratings success" hit 1.87 million per episode. That's... not great.

Maybe the Rosie O'Donnell "ratings success" convinced ABC to drop Jimmy Kimmel like a bad habit that is also a very unfunny habit.

19 It really shouldn't be legal to do this. If you adopt a sub-80 IQ individual who is more animal than man - like all entertainers - and pay for his care and feeding kenneling for years, it should be like any other dangerous pet, and you should have to euthanize it or pay for it to be euthanized. You can't just abandon it on the street.

Jimmy Kimmel is ABC's problem, not society's. Take him to a licensed veterinarian and put him in the tent like a responsible pet owner.

27 What I found interesting in the short clips I saw of Rosie was she remains deranged, but she is still capable of being the entertaining Rosie of the past, before she went all political. She is more talented than Jimmy (which is a low bar, I get it), but good heavens. Why is it so hard to just leave politics at the door and just be entertaining to everyone? Maybe I don’t understand the nuance enough which is why I teach fitness and I am not an actress / comedian.

she used this week on JKL to test the waters as far as doing her own show again, and it really did feel like her OG show aside from the more pointed late-night humor.

She looks incredible. Really have missed her presence on TV, honestly. A+ trolling of Diaper Don.

Trump bringing up Rosie in the 2016 debates was one of the most embarrassing things I had ever witnessed. I had no idea how bad things would get.

I mean JD Vance will be so much worse, we have no good options until we get a good Democrat as Speaker of the House. And then MAYBE we have a chance.

It’s time for a Rosie renaissance. She’s been gone too long. She’s very intelligent and funny. She’s always had guts to say what she wants.

She still lives in Ireland and recently said she is looking forward to when she can move back home after Trump is gone.

47 Kimmel sucks. Of course pretty much all the prime time tv "comedians" suck. And most the current crop of standup comedians are painfully unfunny with maybe a handful of exceptions. So many of them are "comedians" only because some Netflix producers got together and decided to slap the "comedian" label on some unfunny people and let them record specials in front of slack-jawed retards who would laugh at soiling their own underwear.

I did ask one of the AIs about some of the DisneyChannel shows they have on now. Cute, funny and not safe for kids because even though they stepped back from the gay shit and BET for kids, every white girl wants the black guy.

But they cancelled the new 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' even though it's ratings were really good for them. It was a cute show.

But AI says unless shows become major hits, they're getting cancelled before 3 seasons when staff would be getting raises.

But after going woke, conservatives and caring parents don't let their kids watch so I don't see how they'll ever have another big hit again. And how do you build any sort of loyalty cancelling everything after two seasons?

I'd think Disney would have the cash, but AI said no.

Johnny Carson could make jokes about either party. Fallon, with today's liberals cannot. He literally got hell from the left for mussing up Trump's hair in 2016 and treating him like his other celebrity guests.

"On September 15, 2016, Jimmy Fallon famously mussed Donald Trump's hair during a taping of The Tonight Show, a viral moment that occurred weeks before the 2016 presidential election. Fallon asked to do "one silly thing" to prove the hair was real, and Trump agreed, allowing Fallon to wildly tousle his locks on air.

The stunt drew significant criticism from Trump opponents who argued it "humanized" the candidate, while Fallon later admitted he "made a mistake" and felt "depressed" and "devastated" by the backlash. A former Tonight Show writer revealed the gag was originally intended as a companion piece to a planned bit with Hillary Clinton, which fell through when she declined to participate. "

I think Disney is like Nike, past its glory days and broadcast TV division, even under Eisner, was on the chopping block to be sold. High salaries and costs in relation to revenue. And that requires major downsizing. That is what led to Colbert being canned--the sale of that network to new owners.

Broadcast, if it survives, is likely to be more like Weird Al's UHF than the old polished one. Cutting costs to the bone and wall to wall pharma ads.

It was a pretty impressive thing to watch as I don't think they had time to script this stuff out so he was really responding to people in the moment...

Figure the future for broadcast as cheap independent stations running shows in the past. If you can remember the UHF era in big cities for example.

I read an article a few years ago about the importance on the rotisserie chicken to Costco, and how they had to source their own farms to have a specific chicken breed. Normal chicken farms keep breeding bigger and bigger chickens (that cost more, because they're heavier). Costco has a certain breed custom raised to keep the weight consistent, and the birds small enough to fit multiple in their existing rotisserie infrastructure.

I think the new management at ABC will end up dismantling the whole broadcast, theme parks, movie, cable divisions. The cable and broadcast are simply not making the money anymore like they used to due to slumping cable ratings and carriage fees and slumping broadcast tv audiences. And the ad money is going somewhere else as well.

The economics of Colbert's show, for example are brutal--losing money every airing is not a way to success. And I'd imagine Kimmel's show has comparable cost to revenue problems that Colbert had.

The guy that assembled the Devil Mouse conglomerate, Bob Iger, recognized the problem but emotionally could not swing the axe to dismantle his own legacy. The new guy doesn't have that issue.

Lindsay Clancy Jury Forewoman Admits She Was "So Excited" When She Thought She'd Get to Acquit the Killer; Another Female Juror Says the Male Holdout "Just Couldn't Get Past the Fact That She Viciously Killed Her Children"

He just couldn't get over that, huh?

Wow, he's so irrational.

And he wouldn't listen to the nine hens pecking at him and cursing at him! (They admit that profanity was used.)

What a toxic-masculinity monster who won't just do what angry depraved Karens command him to do.

Unbelievable.


The jury foreperson in Lindsay Clancy's high-stakes triple murder trial detailed just how close the panel was to finding the killer mom not guilty by reason of insanity until one male holdout juror blocked the verdict.

"He admitted he had reasonable doubt after we watched the video of the interview," the female juror told NBC 10 Boston in an interview with two other women jury members.

As I said before, I think this is a distortion. I think he said something to try to conciliate the profanity-spraying hens like "I can understand why you say she was insane" and the crazed kid-killer fans jumped on that and took that to mean acquittal, which they were "excited" by.


"I started filling out forms, I was so excited," the woman said.

"There were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out, I wrote my signature on each one but then he said, 'But I'm still not going to say she's not guilty by reason of insanity.'"

One of the three jurors, was named Paula and is a former government contractor. Another, Kelly, is a chef in Plymouth, and the foreperson, Ronnie, is a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher.

The jurors called the holdout "arrogant" for refusing to interact with the other members and for refusing to consider their takes on the evidence in the case.

He did consider your takes. You rejected them. Like all left-wing female supremacists, when you say a man must "hear" you, you mean a man must obey you.

"He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said," one of the women claimed.

Another said, "every one of us in the hours of our frustration would get up and walk the room because you just couldn't sit anymore. And we would all go to the cart with the exhibits. He, I think, got up to the cart once very briefly and went back to his seat."

"He would not interact with us and try to understand," she continued. "We read to him, on numerous occasions, the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge [William] Sullivan's instruction."

"But he had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children," she explained.

What a monster.

Meanwhile, the she-maniacs said they disregarded the prosecution's case -- see, women don't have to listen to men, men just have to listen to women -- because the prosecution wasn't "compassionate" enough to the triple child-murderess.

The jurors told the outlet the prosecution didn't show enough compassion toward Clancy -- who the jurors learned at trial struggled with crippling insomnia, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts and thoughts of harming her kids in the four months leading up to the murders.

"I just found it to be harsh -- very, very harsh," one juror said.

"The fact that they had no character witnesses in regards to Lindsay being a bad mother ... I found it to be biased."

The foreperson said all the witnesses and evidence "proved that she loved her children ... so she had to have snapped."

The trio said they found Reddington to be "entertaining," "arrogant," "compassionate" and "funny."

"His compassion for Lindsay was amazing," one of the women said.

So, just like the highly-invested Lindsay Clancy cultists outside the court, these women feel that the Real Victim Here wasn't the three children murdered in the basement, terrified and confused about why their mother is strangling them, but the housewife these soap opera addicts obviously identified with and projected themselves on to.

You will not be surprised to learn that there were "strong personalities" in the jury room -- which I take to mean Alpha Karens who badgered and berated and shamed the other jurors into letting a child killer go free.

The panel of nine women and three men deadlocked after splitting 11-1, but one woman, identified as Juror No. 5, told local media that the holdout at the end of deliberations wasn't the only one who initially thought Clancy was guilty.

"The stand-alone juror was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side, so I'm going to kind of defend that individual in a sense," she told the Boston-based WBZ-TV. "There were some big personalities in that room, but at the end of the day, it just came down to an inability to move past your convictions."

She, too, was originally in favor of a guilty verdict, she told the outlet.

"And maybe I still believe that in a certain way," she added. "I think that this is a woman who was not mentally healthy."

See? The Alpha Karens pressured her.

It gets worse. The "nurses on the jury" demanded the male (spit) holdout take the claims of other jurors as evidence and make his decision based upon this non-evidence.

See, there were "nurses on the jury" and their stupid uneducated opinions overrule the actual psychiatric expert who testified that Lindsay Clancy was lying about "hearing voices."


They called him "arrogant" and accused him of disregarding information from "nurses on the jury."

See, the (spit) man was arrogant. The "nurses on the jury" offering their lay opinions as expert testimony weren't arrogant. They were giving expert testimony.

Aren't all women experts, when you think about it? They have Lived Experience.


I don't know what's going to happen, guys. I don't know how we survive one-third of women now being viciously insane.

If they have a retrial -- no teachers, no "nurses on the jury." And strike as many women as possible.

I think it was more that the prosecution relied on females on the jury having sympathy. This was almost OJ Simpson redux with Identity crap. Prosecutors in that case thought black women would sympathize with another woman over the guy. They sided with the black part more than the woman part.

In this case, I suspect but do not know, the prosecution thought allowing female caring professionals, aka teachers and nurses on the jury would be able to consider the murders of the vulnerable. Instead, they went with their professional and political identity.

But I have no idea about the entire jury pool nor those that were stricken.

56 Saw a lawyer online explain this. This is Mad-sachusetts, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not undergoing psychosis.

So the "more likely" standard should not be applied. It would be fairly "reasonable" to let her go because the "Devil made her do it" in Mad-sachusetts.

Because it makes you "not guilty", without the proof of mens rea in this fucking state.

She had already provided the case that she was the physical agent, however in this blew state, that's not enough.

Totally stupid, but it would be Mass-reasonable to acquit Clancy if you thought that she might be psychotic (and who wouldn't?!!) while stalking and strangling her children, then cutting herself and jumping out a window.

80 Something is in the water up north.

Four upstate New York children who were poisoned and killed by their mother and grandmother had an allergy medication that induces drowsiness and kratom in their systems, according to a new report.
The disturbing details into the horrific June murder-suicide in Mechanicsville were revealed in a toxicology report, sources told NewsChannel 13.

The four children were allegedly killed by their mother Sarah Myers, 44, and their grandmother Amy Steadman, 64, who then took their own lives, authorities said.

Social media can lead to extremism because the mechanism is one way--notice there are likes and followers but not the negative incentives like being told off and derated other than the vague no longer followed or the mute on X. That is because the social media companies want their audience hooked on affirmations.

That leads to a society of moonbattery with endless purity spirals to be the one true representative of womanhood, law, politics, etc. Especially because it is apparently devoid of real world consequences for words and videos until they occur IRL. Too many people want fame and are willing to put their consciences aside to achieve it.

And like the dying sad clownshows of late night comedy like Kimmel and Colbert, the path to internet glory is extremism, lies, and cultivating a batshit audience like yourself.

128 The world has changed. I served on a jury once, for a trial of a young cop accused of rape. A new father, he was involved in a flirting relationship with another woman who lived in his apartment house. She started it and pursued his attentions. He eventually had sex with her and her father then decided it must have been rape, forced his daughter to file a police report, and the trial ensued.

I was one of two men on the jury. The women on the jury totally blamed the girl for the whole mess. They drove a Not Guilty verdict, and would probably have thrown the book at the accuser for filing a false police report, if that had been on offer.

I doubt the verdict would be the same one today.

No, it is a natural consequence flowing from abortion up to crowning, assisted suicide, juvenile gender transitioning, and other horrific modern inventions. Culture of death caused in part by the excessive worry of the types like Bill Gates that want the world to carry only about one tenth of the current population.

Those assholes on top never think of killing themselves for Gaia, they want what they consider the peasant class to be neutered by hormones, delayed marriage, and gender transitions, assisted suicided, killed by vile medical concoctions like the vaxx, and abortions on demand.

133 That one juror is going to become right wing hero... hopefully for just 15 minutes.

Why would this be a left vs right-wing issue?

Daily Mail: Now FOURTH Lindsay Clancy juror makes extraordinary admission after deliberations swayed her vote: 'I thought she was guilty...maybe I still do."

She said her initial stance was to convict Clancy - and despite eventually voting to acquit the killer mother, the juror admitted she 'maybe still believes' Clancy should go to prison.

Thinking shes guilty, but having reasonable doubt, is the whole point of the system. There's no contradiction to thinking someone is probably guilty but believing theres a reasonable chance otherwise and therefore the State failed its burden.

Yeah, but if your "reasonable doubt" only came after hours and hours of pushing by someone else, then it may not have been reasonable.

If I spend hours and hours badgering a woman to sleep with me, her saying "yes" isn't consent.

It’s fascinating how the dumbest Americans are so taken by sensational court trials. I would not want to be judged by a jury of my peers. A large percentage of the population are dumb as fuck.

Some people say the profession attracts abusers it's that bad.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 09, 2026 12:40 PM (iFTx/)

174 If you're a prosecutor in pretty much any criminal case, or defending a corporation in pretty much any civil case, you'd be a fool not to strike nurses from the jury if you have enough peremptory strikes and challenges for cause to do so (and don't have bigger problems in the jury pool).

Nursing isn't what it once was, and with nurses (especially under 50) you're largely dealing with real dunces. Women's lib and beyond has been accompanied by a real brain drain in the helping professions. I've met a lot of very dumb, very dysfunctional nurses. Enough that it doesn't seem like coincidence any more.

Always true? Of course not. But jury selection is always fraught with uncertainty. And I wouldn't want to gamble on nurses at this point.

Posted by: it puts the lotion in the basket at September 09, 2026 12:40 PM (1T1MZ)

175 I completely get this. My former wife was a complete closeted Cluster B shitstorm but she was very intelligent and could lie so convincingly that everyone believed her, everyone. Even my friends at the time. Everyone but my Mother. Even my Dad thought I beat her.

People refused to even acknowledge that they were on her side when the truth came out. It's like they seemed to completely forgot anything even happened and soon they just completely avoided me.

She completely screwed up when she got blackout drunk one afternoon and called the wife of one of my friends crying and slurring her words when she said she made the whole thing up and now she was mad because my 12 YO son wouldn't talk to her anymore.

The wife called the DAs office and told him but my former wife denied making the phone call and then it was a pure catfight.

What a mess. I still had to go to court even though the DA dropped the charges at the first hearing when my wife showed up with alcohol on her breath.

She was at a genius level when it came to deceit.

Women's opportunities used to be limited by societal norms and expectations. So women who today become lawyers would once have been relegated to being paralegals. Same for doctors and nurses, professors and teachers. On the negative side, there probably were a lot of frustrated women out there. On the positive side, these less prestigious, less well-paid professions were teeming with really bright, really capable women. That's not true anymore, or not true to anywhere near the same extent.

On a more general note I will never understand this. Women know dudes like long hair, with rare exception. Then they go get it hacked off and freak the fuck out when the dude in their life doesn't like it. I had this experience way back when with my ex.

This was an obviously terrible strategy, and I have no idea why it was chosen. I can only speculate that the prosecution was so afraid of criticizing her -- worrying that the jury would see her as sympathetic -- that he went all the way to praise.

295 One thing I think more fascinating is that it is not just the women jurors who are psychos who think a woman can go through this much planning and artifice but not be guilty because she was momentarily psychotic- it was 11 of 12 people.

92% of the people selected to look at the evidence were going to let her off, essentially scot free.

Strong personalities on a jury can sway the weaker members who just want to go home. Whether for prosecution or for the defense. I think the gang of three Karens were likely girl bossing the jury from their own media statements from what went on. One guy did not submit.

But, I also think the relaxed standard of Mass law permitted the Karens to do their damage. By showing prior treatment for mental illness, the defense met its rather low burden to indicate mental illness was a possibility. That then meant the burden of proof flipped and the prosecution had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was sane. That McHoul std which came from the Model Code abomination in this case, is not the traditional M'Naughten std where the defendant bears the burden of proof as an affirmative defense.

They started selecting for ideology buy-in, not for intellect.

Marxism, with its elaborations, is one of the dumber sources for your worldview.

It's automatically going to select for people who buy in to schools that have enough details to seem erudite, but to deceive the marginal by the volume of that detail. Hence, we have academics spewing out volumes of Marxish worldview elaboration.

But you are going to winnow out people who can analyze reasonably well and think for themselves.

Made it easier for the defense to argue that the murders were out of character. Husband's testimony did not help the prosecution either.

But, I do think the prosecution might be able to improve on their case while the defense is kind of stuck to what happened in the first trial. That is, if there is not some plea entertained. I also think over time the public mood is going to shift on Lindsay due the batshit crazy actions of those copycats and the evil statements that Lindsay's supporters have placed on social media.

330 willowed from previous thread:
203 There are laws in many municipalities in which a property owner with a pool that is not properly fenced in is held liable if a child drowns in the pool.

Seems like the same argument applies to data aggregators. The data is an "attractive nuisance" to hackers but the harm is caused to the people whose data is hacked. Still, the data aggregator should have to prove they maintained an adequate fence around the data. Perhaps civil forfeiture could apply here too.
Posted by: George V at September 09, 2026 12:20 PM (g6ahB)
======
This is the precise legal strategy to pursue, IMHO. The elements are identical: the pool/trove of data are the attractive nuisance, the kid/hacker are not supposed to be there, yet the law punishes the owner of the former and does nothing to the later. This needs to change. Negligence in protecting the data is negligence -period. Hackers will always attempt to gain access to the biggest data pile - this is known, or should be known to all the data center/AI interests, therefore failure to put in place adequate protective measures amounts to gross negligence and should be punished as such.

And the prosecution ultimately let a bunch of nurses to be seated. You never let a contingent of a single profession to stand unless you believe it would benefit your case. But then defense council would try to eliminate that grouping. Either way, the voir dire either sucked or the jurors hid their bias.

I now believe that for many (most?) women their convictions are always subject to a popularity vote.

If the group decides that X is bad/good, then you need to get with the program and change your convictions to match. Which means that they don't really have convictions in the usual sense - they just have temporary proxy positions standing in for the TBD group decision. And the lone juror just refused to accept his new group conviction firmware update like a bastard.

1920s (The Quota Era): In 1922, Jewish enrollment reached 21.5%. In response, Harvard President Abbott Lawrence Lowell introduced a holistic admissions system and legacy preferences specifically designed to cap Jewish enrollment. By the late 1920s and 1930s, these unofficial quotas successfully forced the Jewish student population down to about 10% to 15%.

1940s–1950s (Post-WWII Recovery): Following World War II and the gradual dismantling of overt quotas, academic standards became more strictly merit-based. Jewish enrollment began to climb back, reaching 21% by the early 1960s.

1960s–1990s (The Peak Era): For much of the latter half of the 20th century, Jewish students maintained a robust and consistent presence at Harvard, hovering between 20% and 25% of the undergraduate student body.

2010s (Gradual Decline): By 2016, estimates from random sampling and surveys indicated that the Jewish undergraduate population had softened to roughly 14%

It may be time to have a serious conversation about professional jurors.

Listening to the three female boomers from the Lindsay Clancy jury explain their reasoning after the mistrial is disturbing, not because they reached a conclusion I disagree with, but because of how they say they got there.

“She loved her children, so she had to have snapped.”
“There were no witnesses saying Lindsay was a bad mother.”
“The prosecution didn’t show enough compassion.”
The prosecution was “harsh.”
Reddington was “funny” and “entertaining.”

None of that is the legal standard they were instructed to apply.

Nobody disputed that Lindsay loved her children or that she suffered from mental illness. Nobody was asking the jury to decide if she was a good mother, whether the prosecutors were compassionate enough, or which lawyer they enjoyed watching more.

The question was criminal responsibility: Did her mental illness leave her unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct or conform her conduct to the requirements of law?

Wealthy defendants have an advantage in that they can hire all sorts of experts before the trial even commences.

440 They shrieked, too, that "the pills" were responsible. Either too much (based on the bag of Rx waved around by the defense), or "not enough and too late for care plus elephantiasis."
(ok, I made the last one up as I am not sleeping well).

She ground up pills from her doctor shopping and took a swig or something in the frenzy of blood letting (her own). She manipulated her husband again in his claims she was compliant with meds. "Yes I took my pills today, Patrick, you assho." She sounds like a ton of work to keep everyone miserable.

The trouble with blaming "the pills" is that her tox screen showed minimal amounts. Not enough to OD, not enough to make her go crazy and murder children, and not therapeutic for her mental illness. So that ploy failed along with others to end herself.

Tox screens, by the way, are part of a Trauma Panel bloodwork. Standard care.

I guess it would take a security camera to convince the harpies-who-hate-men she killed them with her exercise bands. After researching "ways to kill." She apparently wore gloves as none of her DNA was on the bands? So I read in confusion. I'm a Gemini murderer and know things.

441 My theory is that half of the female population has always been line this, and that's why, back in the Good Old Days Olden Times, they had no rights, were not allowed outside without a male relative, the children took their father's name and were given to him if things went south.

I do firmly believe in post partum depression, and it's nothing new. Many cultures throughout history have had customs grow up around it. It was often blamed on demons, but there cultural norms all over the world where people stay with a woman a certain amount of days after childbirth. And people think it's to help the mom, and it is that, too, but it is also so mama ain't alone with her jacked up hormones and a defenseless baby.

444 PS

On top of everything I can't believe they allowed nurses on the jury! That could go either way of people questioning her tox screen, her manipulation, and her pathetic attempt to suicide herself.

When I was in voir dire they asked our professions (perp was a real estate tycoon who ripped off banks). I was a RN and not in real estate nor banking or the financial world and the prosecution lawyer liked me for some reason.

Nurses should not have been allowed. Granted, if they were "normal" like me, maybe, but I really thought from this experience they tried for a neutral jury vs stacking the deck.

I hope there is no retrial and that she spends her life monitored and miserable til her last breath.. I do request her tubes be tied so a sicko does not have a wild affair with her due to a fetish.

I don't think she had any such thing, but even if she did, it still doesn't mean she gets to kill her children and go Scot free.

If she's claiming she was crazy, she gets to go to the nuthouse instead of prison. I'd be okay with that.

456 One of the obvious parallels is with Andrea Yates. Ms. Yates looked haunted. One look at her face and eyes, and this was a woman who obviously needed mental or emotional help. She had been reaching out for weeks or months before snapping.

By contrast, Ms. Clancy just looks hard. Her eyes are chips of obsidian. She looks like someone who planned this, and indeed her search history reportedly included ways to kill your children. The amount of planning that went into killing her children makes it hard for me to accept an insanity plea.

And what was going on with the jurors (supposedly unbiased) dressing to show support for the defendant? The defense counsel wanted the holdout juror removed for bias while the jurors who wanted to acquit were literally wearing their bias.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at September 09, 2026 12:39 PM (XJ22o)
*****
The profession attracts a tiny number of people who want to be nurses now vs when I graduated in '78. All of us wanted to be a nurse, some since childhood.

I was a clinical professor for nurses in the med center for 4yrs in the late '90's. Many wanted more money from being a LPN or EMT. Their focus was different. I pounded myself into 40 of them and their focus changed, or seemed to.

One year before graduation a class did not know how to give injections. I was outraged and took them to a flu clinic as I was not going to graduate nitwits. Now there are teaching mannequins, and yehaw. Still different from real people.

Then we have online nursing degrees: BSN and MSN. Some clinical practice, but I doubt as much as I had from my first semester. It matters.

Adding that it is difficult to fail students to the soup vs my class. We had to have white shoelaces, for heaven's sake! Pressed uniforms! cont.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 09, 2026 02:49 PM (hzuYO)

460 Cont...My acceptance to a very difficult nursing school at a univsersity (I was accepted at two) was based not only on my GPA (which was high), but also on my interview.

At the time they had 400 applicants to one person allowed. We were in groups & I was in the summer group. Graduated this way due to how many instructors could have.

Now the online nursing schools nation wide due to shortage. I know two classmates who were big guns for two of these schools churning numbers out. I don't have the nerve to question the quality of graduates. To a BSN program there are still less accepted than apply.

We had standards in dress, decorum & test scores to adhere to. If an instructor thought you did not fit the bill you were out. In this way they weeded out the problems. When I was teaching it took me & two full time instructors to fail anyone.

The one I helped fail showed up 2hrs late to a pediatric rotation. Falalala she walked past me. I asked her into the nursing lounge, informed her she did not call me or the floor that she'd be late, & if a real nurse her patients & staff would suffer. I sent her home. I informed the director and a full time RN worked with her and agreed. Done.

Reservoirs

The risks associated with so-called "Big Data" - or AI, or data aggregation, or anything in that vein - are known to a point. The obvious risk - and the one most people immediately cite - is identity theft and the corresponding fraud potential associated with it. Because of this obvious risk, the response is the same every time there is a data breach: the company at the center of the breach offers to pay for credit monitoring for some amount of time. Another major risk, especially popular these days as the Flock camera argument heats up, is panopticism. These data collection services have created an electronic panopticon in which no man has privacy.

These risks are real, and they are made all the worse due to a pair of conditions: data aggregators are juicy targets, and aggregators and governments have no significant incentive to defend sensitive data. The first is obvious. These data are valuable, so the aggregators are constantly targeted for theft. As to the second, the regulatory and legal environment provides essentially no penalties for data breaches - neither for private enterprises, nor for governments. In the unusual circumstance where an actual hacker gets caught, he will be punished - but that is the point. The hacker is the one with major liability, not the organization doing the collection, retention and defense of valuable data. To the organization, there's no problem outside of a press release, some technology costs and bulk-rate credit monitoring if there's a breach. If it's particularly bad, there may be a symbolic slap-on-the-wrist regulatory penalty.

This absence of liability causes a lot of perverse incentives. When there is no meaningful downside to data collection, data collection will expand - and that is what has happened. Some laws like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have a "data minimization" requirement (collect and retain only what you actually need to do your work), but such requirements are very difficult to police effectively. Extensive "everything we can get" data collection is now the norm, and risks are increasing radically. Any target is increasingly a juicy target, because the amount of data collection is always growing.

Recently, a major breach was disclosed through it's effects, as more than 153 million US driver licenses were made available for purchase. The source of this was likely one or more services providing ID verification through ID scanning. More disclosure keeps happening around the extent of data collection, from smart TVs to government surveillance through third parties, which follows increasingly-invasive data collection schemes implemented for years in other industries like telecom.

All of this data collection creates vast reservoirs of personal data, ranging from trivial to extremely dangerous, and none of it is - or possibly even can be effectively defended. Despite this, there's little downside for the organizations doing the collection. The deeper these reservoirs get, the more appealing a target the organization will be - but the organizational risks are more or less static and do not scale with the collection. All of this leads to one basic conclusion for any organization in the data-collection business: collect more.

Flock camera databases are creepy and many have serious and reasonable concerns with the constitutional legitimacy of the system, but the dystopian government panopticon is only one issue. The other is that such services are deep reservoirs, and thus valuable targets. When Flock inevitably gets hacked and vehicle, movement and other personal data are stolen and used by criminals or nation-state adversaries, Flock will not collapse under the liability. They will simply issue an apologetic press release that downplays the event, fire a VP, spend some money on security consultants and put up with some ribbing by peers at conferences. Substitute any organization name you'd like for "Flock," because it is only an example. It always plays out the same way.

Until liability is extended from the hacker to the collector or aggregator, I think that this problem will only get worse. To disincentivize arbitrary data collection and the "more, More, MORE" approach to data collection, there must be real and meaningful costs to screwing up and permitting breaches. Slaps on the wrist and temporary spikes in operational costs that can be written off as the cost of doing business are not adequate. The closest thing there is to hard liability for data breaches is HIPAA, which has civil and criminal penalties for inappropriate disclosure. Something similar may be called for more generally, so that failure to defend collected data results in meaningful - up to the point of destroying enterprise in extreme cases - liability exposure.

The deeper and broader the data reservoirs get, the more the disclosure problem will grow. A good approach to dealing with the problem may not necessarily be to limit the collection as the GDPR attempts to do - there are limitless potential uses or requirements for data to deliver whatever service is being delivered, and enforcement is extremely difficult - but to strictly and meaningfully punish inappropriate disclosure. If there is real liability, the collectors and aggregators will think twice about what they actually need - and the amount of risk they're comfortable with - when it comes to data collection, retention and access. The best way to improve overall security is to reduce the attack surface, and that means draining the reservoirs - and liability may be a good way to do it.

What do you think?

Because we've had this happen again and again and again with businesses and our credit card information and health data.

Flock is not new, it's simply a new dimension of what has been happening for a few decades now.
Instinctively we know that the purported uses of this data by law enforcement will only be a tiny part of what it is actually used for.

I think the liability you're talking about - enough to actually impact decision making - is impossible.

Even if SpyCo (a made up example) pay out a billion-dollar settlement, it's STILL worth it because of the thousands of companies who continue to flood SpyCo's coffers in exchange for the data they've aggregated.

There is value in information, and as we become increasingly Balkanized, purchasing the ability to micro-target consumers is becoming increasingly valuable in parallel.

The genie's out of the bottle. It's nearly impossible to be the Grey Man, and the ones who attempt it will find themselves further and further removed from the things that make society society.

This would pick up every organization of significance, whatever its purpose. Medical associations, pedophile rings, prayer groups, Tea Party groups, lesbian sororities, gay date swapping groups, business networks, professional networks, spy rings and terrorist cells.

IDK. That settlement is only for that one event. If SpyCo continues to be sloppy, they'll end up paying multiple billion dollar awards.

The practical problem right now is that it's tough to prove concrete damage. Even a simple reform like statutory damages (maybe $50/person/event for PI and $250/person/event for SPI), joint-and-severable with the company that collected the PI/SPI, would go a long way.

Of course, that makes IT companies the most powerful organizations in America, which seems to be the opposite of what we're going for here... They'd decide who does and doesn't get breached. Get sideways with the Biden Administration and suddenly your client's data is 'hacked.' Whoops. Whoopsie!

The fine needs to be massive enough to instantly bankrupt the offender and put them into public receivership. That will be the only to incentivize others to avoid doing the same.

And yes, if it’s a billion dollar company, then the fine should be $10 billion, payable immediately.

108 I can imagine worse scenarios than panopticon being exploited by a corporation or a state actor, like by AI itself.

Without AI, as is so often said, there is safety is massive data collection; it is only useful as an investigative tool when a user knows what to look for, because there is so much information and almost all of it is deliberately ignored and excluded in a search.

With AI, everything can be examined in real time. Nothing is excluded or ignored. AI notes patterns too subtle for humans to note, watches everyone, and is only limited by the tools at it's disposal. Give it panopticon, and everyone is watched all the time. Give it law enforcement connections, and anyone can be found and arrested immediately. Give it weapons, and anyone can be killed.

She set up a “medical” space on her guarded and gated mansion to ensure that no one except her personal employees had access. Of course he had a doctor - who was on Cindy’s personal payroll.

The Aug. 25 incident unfolded while several guardsmen were taking a break from patrol inside a black van, according to court documents cited by ABC News on Tuesday.

Zion Mitchell and another Guard member began arguing over their hair when Mitchell allegedly told her, “I would slap the Jackson 5 out of you,” according to the affidavit.

The pair continued trading words until the woman told Mitchell to “shut the f**k up.” She then heard what she described as a “holster click,” followed by another guardsman in the van saying, “Put that up. You almost shot me in the hand.”


Not surprisingly, they don’t mention any details about those involved.

178 Child sacrifice has been a part of many cultures going back to primordial times.

In fact, child sacrifice -- and human sacrifice -- was probably the norm in most cultures until the rise of Judeo-Christianity.

The Brits were horrified at the sacrificial bloodlust in the Raj. And this wasn't 800 years ago in a primitive tribal society. This was in the 1800s in a relatively developed and "civilized" society.

Some people are regressing back to those ancient bloodlusts.

We knew this already. Tell me how many men have committed murders who haven't even been charged because they belong to some leftist pet group or are illegal aliens.

We complain about it all the time.

This one at least was charged and went to trial, and the prosecution will get a do-over on getting her convicted.

And you should be suspicious of why you're only hearing about it now, three years after the crime was committed, just before an election that the Left fears they will lose because not enough women are voting Dem.

Which is why I think it's significant that coming out of a pagan culture, the Lord asked Abram to sacrifice Isaac. Thus, to make a show that human sacrifice was not going to be part of regular ritual.

We have to remember that Rachael's family, in Haran where, Terah, Abram's father settled, had family "gods" that Rachael stole.

Motorcycle cops are just *thieves*. They lie in wait, looking for the next stage coach to come along. When it arrives, they pull the coach over and by the time the motorcycle cop leaves the occupants of the coach are poorer. Back in the day, a posse would have been formed in response. But today, we give the thieves badges and pretend they're fighting crime rather than committing it.

203 There are laws in many municipalities in which a property owner with a pool that is not properly fenced in is held liable if a child drowns in the pool.

Seems like the same argument applies to data aggregators. The data is an "attractive nuisance" to hackers but the harm is caused to the people whose data is hacked. Still, the data aggregator should have to prove they maintained an adequate fence around the data. Perhaps civil forfeiture could apply here too.

What do you mean by "GPS transceiver"? The GPS satellites are not able to receive signals from the ground. I would assume any spy device placed in an auto would use the cell network to call home.

I see a market for "cell sniffers". Hand-held scanner/signal strength meter that can be used like a Geiger counters to zero in on a suspected rogue cellular comms device.

Posted by: Tuna at September 09, 2026 09:57 AM (lJ0H4)

63 Lovely scene and painting. One of her more realistic works with almost no Impressionistic aspects. Everything is bright and light: the clothes and bed linen and cup. That makes the very natural skin tones really stand out, framed against the white items. This is one of the most realistic works by Cassatt I've seen.

What makes the painting so effective are the poses and facial expressions. The child is focused entirely on the breakfast. The mother, even though still waking up, is entirely focused on the child, holding the kid secure and watching the reactions of innocence. It is a very intimate, positive image.

100 Never knew what this picture was, but a torn copy of it is on my kitchen cabinet door, given to my wife Mothers Day 2010. We had been having a rough spot after my losing my job of nearly thirty years, and her being a bit worried about our future. Approaching our empty nest days. Had just gotten back from a three week driving get away, and things were really looking up, and I had just found new employment.
A month and a half later she woke up dead.
The picture is still on the cabinet, I see it every day. It still makes me smile, the kid looks like our first, and the woman is reminiscent of my wife.

Off-topic:

We watched the 5th Season of "Fauda' on Netflix.

For those, unfamiliar with the series, it deals with an Israeli anti-terrorist squad.

This season deals with Oct 7th and it's aftermath as well as trying to prevent a new "Oct 7th'.

It's very well done. Very well written and acted. Directed crisply.

I highly recommend watching it.

The lovely and delightful Mrs naturalfake was so caught up in it that we had to stream the whole series in one night.

The problem with most of this stat reckoning to my mind is a couple things:

How do you define 'killed'? Shot in the head? Beaten to death with clubs? Gassed? When you start getting into starved, displaced into internal exile and left to fend for themselves, etc it starts to get a lot muddier.

Germans being germans, most were direct killing. And meticulously chronicled.

Now the Soviets and the Chinese did all of that, but they also had a LOT of people who were either starved to death through collectivization or exposure to the elements. That one island where Stalin dropped off thousands of prisoners with no structures or shelter and just gave them building materials. They did not exactly kill them, but they killed them.

That is what is so funny about the CHAZ. Them trying to farm? THAT was collectivization in the soviet union, except on a grand scale and they could not dip out of the area to get some food from a 7-11. Holodomor as both planned and unplanned.

Female jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial rip the lone male holdout juror who refused to side with them.

If the Clancy woman had strangled to death three cats, those female jurors would've voted guilty the moment the jury room door closed for initial deliberation.

150 It is my belief that now, after the women showing their inner psycho, should undergo monthly bloodwork from the moment of pregnancy through the child's teenage years.

I don't believe Clancy was post-partum. I believe she had been on such a cocktail of pharmaceuticals over a period of years, she became such a zombie, she felt nothing as she murdered each of her 3 children, one by one, via suffocation with an exercise band.


And all the bitches on TikTok supporting her are on similar meds.

155 We watched the 5th Season of "Fauda' on Netflix.

For those, unfamiliar with the series, it deals with an Israeli anti-terrorist squad.

This season deals with Oct 7th and it's aftermath as well as trying to prevent a new "Oct 7th'.

It's very well done. Very well written and acted. Directed crisply.

I highly recommend watching it.

The lovely and delightful Mrs naturalfake was so caught up in it that we had to stream the whole series in one night.

Check it out.

It’s not new, right at the time Egypt said that their intelligence service informed both Israel and the US that their contacts had heard that something was up, that some kind of attack was planned. BUT it wasn’t very specific, other than being some kind of attack, and both the Israelis and the US pretty much blew it off as same old thing as ever.

I think the greater fault was why the IDF took almost 12 hours to respond. There’s never been any big public examination of how that happened, and I suspect it’s because everyone on all sides in Israel made so many mistakes that they all agreed to just let it lay.

191 Dryer lint traps catch most, though not all. Over time it builds up in the ductwork. Real fire hazard, it is not adviseable to dry laundry and then drive away from home to go shopping, say, generally speaking.

Take the ductwork apart and clean it out. Our vintage Kenmore or whatever it was, from 1977 was still going strong a couple years ago when I sold it. I did open up the plenum and intake and such and clean that out at one point. It had a nice exhaust note after that. Job well done!

No digital crap, no wi-fi, no LCDs to hork. It had a mechanical bell, to let you know when stuff was just dry enough.

The Morning Report — 9/ 9 /26

IncludeUsOut.jpg

Good morning kids. Let's take a jump across the pond to see what's happening in the all but vanished formerly Great Britain which, unless something drastic happens will be subsumed and transmogrified into a third world Islamic hellhole where Westminster Abbey will be converted into the next Hagia Sofia. Maybe something is happening?


Evidently there is a contingent of unknown numbers of Brits who are willing to take a stand and do whatever they can to prevent or at least forestall that nightmare from becoming reality. Of course the reason this is happening in the first place is because Britain's primarily Socialist/eftist governments that have had a stranglehold on the nation since the end of Wold War Two. that and the meat grinder of that and the previous "war to end all wars" destroyed at least two generations of British males and with it much of the civilization it was the epicenter of for well over a millennium. And so, here they are, and we are not far behind.


If these latest protests tell us anything, it’s that the British government can no longer control and redirect public opinion on immigration as it would ideally like to; the narrative is no longer the government’s to shape, and a boundary has been passed. The scale of the disaster facing Britain, the constant parade of atrocities—the murders, the rapes, and the sexual assaults—the communities living in terror, and the widespread realization that the country is changing beyond all recognition and without the consent of the British people mean the government simply cannot keep a lid on popular feeling. Not anymore. “Controlled spontaneity” was created to manage isolated incidents, not a permanent state of outrage. For decades, it was impossible to talk publicly about immigration in Britain without being labeled a “racist” and being made subject to various forms of social, legal, and extra-legal punishment. The omerta on immigration was enforced by a broader system of what Sam Francis called “anarcho-tyranny,” but we Brits call it “two-tier policing” or “two-tier government.” It’s a species of divide and conquer that’s as old as Aristotle’s Politics (read book V in particular), but it’s taken on a new shape in the hands of successive governments that seem hell-bent, whether left or “right,” on replacing their own native citizens with transplants from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Daniel Thomas has promised further demonstrations. A few days before his “army of patriots” arrived in Dover, he told them they were “going to send a message.” —things are about to get very interesting.

Interesting indeed! And so, here they are, and we here in the increasingly Dis-united States are not far behind.

Nothing says "workers of the world, unite" quite like gathering at a Chicago Hyatt to discuss revolution while actual hotel workers picket outside. . . Ware, an associate professor of history at UC Santa Barbara and former Green Party write-in candidate for California governor, told attendees Democrats "cannot be reasoned with" and "must be destroyed." He warned that America was approaching "gunfights" and "war in the streets." Those aren't phrases requiring a decoder ring. . . Talking about Americans shooting one another in the streets deserves a different response. Ware is free to believe the revolution hasn't gone far enough. The rest of us are free to hear exactly what he's saying.

Assassination attempts on President Trump Supreme court Justices and successful politically motivated murders against Charlie Kirk and UHC executive Brian Hutchinson as well as riots that burned out and destroyed numerous American cities in 2020 and afterwards cheered on by allegedly responsible political leaders of the Democrat Party.

But the mockery isn’t limited to Georgetown University’s student body. Islamic Marxist Hasan Piker recently led a live audience in mocking the “We Are Charlie Kirk” song. This is from the same man who has fantasized about murder and streets soaked in “capitalist blood.” And in the more immediate aftermath of Kirk’s death, Syracuse professors celebrated the assassination, with one saying Kirk could “rest in p-ss.” The demonic reactions could be found in the left-wing corners of the web, such as BlueSky, where leftists also cheered Kirk’s murder. Taken together, these examples (and the countless others of celebration, mockery, and revelry) show that these were not anonymous, one-off ghoulish celebrations. There is a large and loud part of the left that has little problem with Kirk’s murder — whether in the immediate aftermath or nearer to the one-year anniversary.

They want us dead and want to erase our history, heritage, memory and everything we and our ancestors have striven for since 1776 and in reality for the last several thousand years of civilizational advancement.

They're positively "Islamic" which is why they're tied at the hip with them. How appropriate as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 is but a scant two days away.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's speech at a controversial Islamic convention in Detroit this weekend was sandwiched between a video montage featuring a firebrand imam declaring that "America is going down" and a speech from another cleric who said members of Congress who voted for an antisemitism bill were "guilty of treason."
The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier. . . Shakir, who in a discussion on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 stated that he was "extremely anti-American," has also called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.

And he sounds like a typical Democrat!

On all these cheerful notes, I bid you to...

Have a good day.

12 Congressman Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., began the first of two congressional hearings on problems at the Smithsonian Institution by playing video clips of Anthea Hartig, the Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History (NMAH) repeating land acknowledgements as she opened various museum events. Director Hartig would thank specific tribes and express gratitude for “the opportunity to work and live in their territories” or give thanks to the “first peoples on whose land we gather today.”

29 If these latest protests tell us anything, it’s that the British government can no longer control and redirect public opinion on immigration as it would ideally like to; the narrative is no longer the government’s to shape, and a boundary has been passed.

Which, in turn, tells us that Elon is in for another big fine as X permits the filthy commoners to discuss things which their betters have declared to be off limits.

30 Instead of using the $1.9 billion to start an old nuclear plant, have the government contract with Elon Musk and Valar Atomics to build a factory producing 5 MW nuclear reactors. With large volume, the reactors would be cheap to produce. By using small reactors widely dispersed, the voltage loss of the grid (close to 45%) would be eliminated. The country would be much safer from attack and natural disaster by having power that would continue after any incident. And, although some will scream "socialism", provide the power free to local utilities and manufacturing to fuel a new era of growth. Just like the interstate highway system, government is there to do what we can't do individually.

Sherrill did not mention Caldwell by name or specifically reference the investigation in her statement.

But what makes this story particularly explosive is that Caldwell is also the secretary of state and the state is in the eye of the storm over an illegal voter scandal and Sherill’s subsequent attempts to cover that up and stonewall federal investigators.

The attack happened on the 500 block of Larkin Street, where police were called at approximately 9:20 a.m., Robert Rueca, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department, told SFGATE. When officers arrived, they saw the dog, which was off a leash, “moving around” the woman, Rueca said. Officers used a catchpole to restrain the dog and separate it from the woman.

I've said in many times. It just takes some combative imagination. Shatter the paradigm of form, of interlocutory respect. Call them out, personally. Go into their lion's dens and call them out to their faces. Alinsky them -- personalize, polarize, make them live up to the standards of their own traditions. When they lie, call them a liar. To their faces. Stop affecting respect, stop conceding their prerogative to interrogate. Interrogate THEM. Question their moral authority. Open up every WH press briefing with a power-point update on their lies for the week. Every single one. Call it that: 'Media lies of the week." Take one story and forensically tear it apart, right in front of the faces, their peers and the entire country. #War.

A day at the beach turned into a wild San Francisco brawl after two men began throwing punches in the sand — with one claiming he was simply walking his dog when the confrontation erupted.

The melee unfolded Tuesday at Crissy Field, on the northern shore of the San Francisco Peninsula, and was caught on video.

124 Hochul, James and more importantly the Democrat legislature has destroyed NY.

Republicans haven’t had a majority in the legislature since the 70’s. They haven’t had a majority in the senate since 2018. For at least the last ten years expenditures have exceeded revenues. They have run a deficit in every one of those years. That’s before we get to abortion up until birth, attacks on the traditional family, sexualization of our schools, purveying homosexuality to children, the highest taxes in the nation, the highest rate of exfil by the residents, the complete abandonment of civil liberties during COVID and the weaponization of the legal system against anyone who opposed them, including people who speak up at PTA meetings.

This is what happens when you put one party in control. You get tyranny.

No, I think Blakeman has a shot. The people who are left know the ship is sinking. The only thing that will save Democrats is blatant election fraud, especially mail in ballots.

We have an immigration problem that is probably the hottest flashpoint in our society. We have Aztecs ethnically cleansing black neighborhoods, particularly in the west. We have blacks who riot against whites on a biannual basis. We have Muslims who view the host population as dhimmis and loot it to the tune of billions every year. We have Haitians eating the pets of the people who live here. We have Indians hijacking HR departments and hiring on a racial basis. We have a rainbow of woke folk dictating university admissions on a different racial basis. And through it all, we have a white population growing increasingly more restive about the whole thing.

The future isn't inclusive.

The thing that saddens me most about that, so far, is the fact that those that are actually calling for Mamdani to NOT attend the memorials are still clinging to the "radical islhamists" meme. No, sir. They are ORTHODOX. They are the TRUE BELIEVERS in islham. All the others are simply the silent backers. All of islham wants to enslave or kill you. No other options.

The sooner we ALL realize that and act accordingly, the better chance of survival we all have.

145 One of the great essays ever on the media was Robert Kaplan's "Media and Medievalism" of about 15 years ago. He summarized exquisitely how the media has arrogated to itself the role of the priestly inquisitors and how we have allowed them to take on this role, as if our very moral existence depended on explaining ourselves to them. They are imposters, liars, garbage people wearing robes of grand bearing and assuming roles they don't come close to deserving.

His wife and son aren't handling it all that well, so the First Lady will likely head down to spend some time with her next week. The son is going through the guilt and anger stage, so not sure if she'll see him or not.

I need you to thank me for gracing this shithole with my presence. Get to thanking. Thank HARD. I need you to sell it, or I'm walking."

NYC, parts of Long Island and cities upstate are Dem controlled. They have huge state bureaucracies they have built which is a built in Dem constituency. The number of welfare recipients brings vote dependency for the Dems

I watched / listened to an AI video yesterday about the WWII campaign in Sicily. Its premise was that the Brits, especially Montgomery, thought that Americans were inferior fighters compared to them and so were to be relegated to a supporting role on the left flank for their advance up the east coast to Messina. George Patton said, "Eff that noise" and "I'll show you what mobile fighting can accomplish" and the rest was history.

You do have to use your own common sense about some things. One of the “benefits” of pre-check is that you don’t have to take off your shoes. This has never been true for me. I literally wore slippers one time (with my shoes in my bag for the other side) and they still set off whatever gets set off.

But the lines are shorter and there’s less hassle.

Where is the outrage for HER?

Part of the insidiously evil part of abortion on demand is that it has further created the idea in women's (and men's) heads that pregnancy is a commodity. An accessory. It has depersonalized children to the extent that they are like a handbag. You do not want to spend time and effort on the one that is not perfect for you. That compliments YOU the best.

When you start seeing how... selfish ALL of this is, it becomes even more horrifying.

235 What strikes me as odd is for a nurse, someone who had to take at least one class in anatomy, didn't know how to kill herself.

Let's not forget that she also flung herself out of a second story window. Second story, man. Who'd have expected to survive that?

256 I think Trump is like a conservative squirrel. He is trying to figure out a full court press to enact and foster and protect a conservative revolution. This is just an idea he likes. It's not a good one (too many ways to subvert) but the general idea is not horrible. Make it so that someone staying home with the kids is viable these days.

The EU has built its entire existence on getting between the company and the customer. It's worked for them so far, in everything but economic growth, so why change now?

Making electronics manufacturers use USB-C for charging ports is about the best thing the EU has ever done in the regulatory space. Some people like their laws on data privacy, which has some good aspects, but mostly that's just a bureaucratic paperwork nightmare and does very little to stop data brokers in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, tokens per second.
Which is... a lot.
Most returns rates are around 50 to 200 tokens per second using online AI chatbots, etc.

45 39 Stephen Miller (redsteeze on X) seems to think Trumps actions just blew the mid terms. I like Redsteeze, mostly. Unfortunately he needs to pretend he's some middle of the road guy, not one of those Trumpers. Comes across as a bit fake. He was never a conservative. I think he identify's as a libertarian. He is funny.

I worked at a place that took my old computer and put it in a box to be sent out with all sorts of broken and discarded computer peripherals and printers. I took it, rehabilitated it and started using it; they told me in no uncertain terms if I didn't return the computer, they'd fire me, so I returned it...this time they took the extra step of breaking the memory sticks.

53 @40/m: "I'm not seeing the sink-problem?"

I'll point out some of the problems (not just the sink.)

(I downloaded the video, then looked at it in a video player that shows frames, and I can step frame-by-frame in full-screen.)

The time-cut nature of the video prepares your mind to accept the sudden changes that happen that shouldn't take place.

Prior to Frame 151: Do you see any fresh water or drain pipes for that sink? These are normally installed well before the cabinets or countertop.

Frame 151/304: Cabinet for sink appears, with a strange cut out hole in the front. Also, look at how he's positioning the middle peg-board onto the wall at this point. His right hand is supporting the weight of the whole thing by one shelf, while his left hand is fingertip pressed against the face of the back-board, not lifting under the lower edge of the board. Does that seem like realistic physics?

Between Frame 175 and Frame 176: The wood panel below where the sink will go (with the weird cut-out shape) disappears, and the sink appears. Why have the panel with the weird cut-out shape at all? That's suspicious.

The synchronized "meow" of the two lower cats is... suspicious.

It will be the first keynote by the new CEO, John Ternus.
They'll be introducing the Apple Watch 12, iPhone 18 Pro and Max, and possibly the second generation iPhone Air.

But the most anticipated announcement is the introduction of Apple's first foldable phone, rumored to be named either the iPhone Ultra or Duo. Although the press still isn't certain if this will come out today, either.

The event starts at 12:30 p.m. EDT.

78 I managed to catch the showing of "Space Seed" and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Watching a TV episode, even in a shoebox cinema, makes things a lot more noticeable. The fight between Khan and Kirk, can really see it's the stunt double instead of Shatner. Or that Uhura has bright green nail polish to go with her matching earrings.

The Director's cut of the movie added a few scenes had never seen before. McCoy saying the eyeglasses are 400 years old, extended the scene after Preston dies in Sickbay, and the spirited discussion between McCoy and Spock over the ethics of Project Genesis is also extended.

Big screen also helps one realize the bridge for the Kobayashi Maru test has a 'No Smoking' sign.

At least a couple things at play:

• people with diminished abstract thinking skill care about the now and the immediate. e.g. it take more of my paycheck to fill the tank on my 4x4 ATV.

• Mimetic Theory (huge factor) most people don't know what they desire; those desires are largely cultivated externally through tradition, influencers, marketing and other cultural/tribal signals. e.g. tattoos, smart watch brands, some 'woke' cause.

That is why trigger words and memes work while reasoned thought only attempts to convert the church choir.

To some degree smart meters the utilities install are capable of constructing a pattern of life within the home while most "smart meters" probably don't have that level of granularity, the tech is certainly out there.

Its called "Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring" or "load disaggregation" it can sense A/C, water heater, microwave, refrigerator, laundry and dish washing and other large appliances based on the device load profiles.

"Let the message to the IRGC be clear," he said, "If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost — taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet”

The juror here says she went into deliberations thinking Clancy was guilty but switched to not guilty because it was “the only way Lindsay would get the help she needs.” She’s openly admitting she disregarded the law. Jurors are not supposed to be making decisions based on those kinds of calculations. They were there to judge whether Clancy was guilty or not. Period. Their job was not the ensure the Clancy “gets the help she needs.” What a farce.

Google built a data center here about 15 years ago.
This was, at the time, mostly to localize the centers for better latency with search and YouTube streaming, I imagine.

It's about ten miles away just off of four-lane US Hwy 52, and used to be rural.
Now it's slowly being surrounded by subdivisions and shopping centers.

131 Another juror interviewed by CBS said most of them had their minds made up from the beginning.

Another example of Mimetic Theory in play. TikTok, largely a influencer application, already injected into these "jurors" the decision that they would desire to make.

There is nothing organic about them having a judgment already in mind. This is the waypoint to full societal dystopia by manipulating weak minds into always desiring a Victimhood Preference, and another thread of exempting certain classes of people from any consequences, and taking feminism to a whole new level of being able to effortlessly toggle between infantile helplessness and stronk CEO business/political warrior on an adhoc basis.

For purposes of a jury trial, those women have no expertise. None. The only experts are those who testify and can be cross-examined. If they tried to introduce their own alleged (and unsworn) expertise and then used it within deliberations to badger another juror, that is a bright line violation of the instructions the judge provided to the jury.

Here is what the judge told the jurors according to the court transcript, “So if somebody has a question in that jury room, you are not allowed to try and answer it by anything other than through the exhibits and evidence you've heard.”

According to at least one pro-Clancy juror, multiple nurses on the jury badgered the holdout for PROPERLY ignoring and disregarding their unsworn and unproven expertise. That juror explicitly admitted they inserted their own alleged expertise at the expense of trial evidence and testimony.

Had the judge been aware of this at the time, he would’ve immediately declared a mistrial.

The judge in the Clancy case needs to hold contempt of court hearings for the nurse jurors who reportedly ignored expert witness testimony and brought in external information (who could possibly understand the information without an external background lecture from nurses on the jury), rather than relying on expert witness testimony, and then used that to attempt to bully a juror into agreeing with them.

Tough times financially lately for Nike.

Nike exits the S&P 100 after 18 years and a $200 billion market-cap wipeout

One of the largest sports and athletic-wear companies of the modern day may be disappointing its namesake. Nike, the sportswear company named after the Greek goddess of victory, is losing its spot in the top 100 U.S. companies for the first time in nearly two decades. The athletic apparel giant lost over $200 billion in market cap since its all-time high in 2021, a near 80% drop in just the five years that have passed, and a plummet so severe that the once mighty company is no longer listed on the S&P 100.

Article is paywalled, but you get the idea.

Donating stuff for charity is good, right? Maybe not always!

Maryland man fights tickets tied to SUV he donated to charity

A Maryland man who donated his disabled SUV to charity says he spent months fighting traffic and toll violations after someone allegedly forged documents to register the vehicle in his name.

Stu Martin said he donated his 2015 Ford Escape to a charity last fall after the vehicle's transmission failed. The donation appeared to benefit both parties. Martin signed over the title, surrendered the tags and no longer owned the vehicle.


"I haven't had it since it was towed away in November," Martin said. "Signed away the title, turned the tags in."

About six months later, however, Martin began receiving speed camera and toll violation notices in the mail.

Check out the whole thing.

19 70 year old can of unopened corn chips. Would you eat them?

Maybe not 70 year old. But chips tend to last a long time. About four years ago in about April I saw a couple of bags of Kettle Brand jalapeño potato chips in the discount section of the local grocery store. They were there because they were set to expire in a few days. I was planning on making potato chip cookies and thought jalapeño might be good.

But Things Got In The Way and then summer travel and holiday travel and… it was April again, and I still hadn’t made those cookies.

Well, it can’t hurt to open one of the bags, they might still be good enough for cookies. They were. And good enough for eating, too; I made one batch of cookies, and needed to open the other bag for the second batch, because I’d eaten too many while waiting for the first batch to finish.

Jalapeño potato chip cookies very good, especially the sandies variety.

Hello Mr. Doof. Thank you for content.

62 Thanks for the ONT, Doof.

Theme for an imaginary western is one of the most beautiful songs by Mountain along with Nantucket Sleighride.

Probably my second rock concert after Three Dog Night in HS. I think they came to Jackson, MS because of "Mississippi Queen." There were no large concert arenas closer to Vicksburg. I was so goofy I did not know they were at Woodstock for decades. While Leslie West was nothing to look at, he could sing. I fancied Felix Pappalardi in looks and as a bass player; who were my choice of guitar boyfriends til I met the acoustic guy I married. I remain mad that his wife killed him.

My generation simply took it for granted that music would be this great forever. Thankful I heard a lot live and partied to great music through the '80's.

That kid playing some Dire Straits is amazing. Wow.

I know why you posted that woman eating a burrito, Doof. I was waiting for her to unhinge her jaw like a snake. Gross.

No. Some say a track was laid on top of his playing. I have no idea but it was impressive if it's real.

The little girl with the gun: I debated emailing sons & saying, "Remember the few times when Mom was a bit nuts and/or had PMS, plus a lotta work stress? I raised my voice to you as teens & you still lived to adulthood!"

A lot more stress than someone whose mother/MIL and nanny helped along with a husband at home & not working. I didn't "snap" as the three hag jurors decided. I had a glass of wine instead & told them I needed to rest for 30min in our bedroom.

The jurors blamed wicked insomnia (which I never had when baby's/toddlers were small & could drop off in minutes from lack of sleep). Anxiety (I have that at times now and don't murder). Depression...ok, I had that once for 2wks post flu & cried a lot but no energy or thought to murder anyone.

However, I was concerned the email might offend the more liberal of our DIL's (whom we love) if she saw it. I assume she won't murder their future children & that baby will have a lot of attention & help.

111 Til Tuesday was a true overnight sensation with Voices Carry. Their tour in the Northeast had already been planned a lot of minor venues. Including Eisenhower Hall at West Point, NY. Ike Hall was like the student union at a normal school. It's a 5000 seat theater, but it isn't a major venue for acts. The audience is captive!

I don't know if the date at West Point was the first on the tour - but it was the first one after they blew up on MTV. Their manager was a piece of work because now he had genuine stars on his hands and here he was running them through Podunk stops. He was NOT very nice. The band on the other hand was. And Aimee Mann was a different personality from the rest of the band. Don't know what they were like before but the band had been backstage for a couple of hours. Mann came in maybe 20 minutes before curtain. And she looked...rough. All leather, hair in a scarf, looked kind of rode hard put away wet.

But after the opening act finished the spotlight came up on Aimee Mann in a gold sequined miniskirt and big 80s hair and makeup that was just so.

Several thousand members of the predominantly male audience were appreciative.

118 Had a GTI once. Very nice car to drive. But it had been designed by the special "discourage the owner" engineering team. Just changing the air filter involved loosening ring clamps, wrestling off intake tubes, pulling the box off grommets (and then reinstalling the grommets) and the grand finale, taking out 6
Phillips screws to open the removed air box to replace the filter. No discernible performance or even manufacturing simplification to do that design either. Don't drive no VWs no more.

142 One of the jurors on the Lindsay Clancy trial is interviewed on X in chiaroscuro. Says she originally thought the defendant was guilty, but allowed herself to be persuaded by the other jurors. Says some of the jurors were for acquittal from the start. She also states that they all tried to change the one holdout’s mind. The voice of this one juror mixes uptalk and vocal fry. I have decided to call this speaking style vocal fried chicken. It’s doubly off putting.

145 I think, from now on, when I mess up badly I'm going to blame it on being a Gemini and that Mercury is in retrograde (even if it isn't).

My husband, a moody and sensitive Cancer (he is neither), will simply be stunned and run to his horoscope to read: "A Cancer will most often marry a Scorpio, Pisces, or Taurus, as these signs offer the deep emotional safety and stability that a Cancer craves in a life partner." I'll bet they are not as fun as being married to me!

In reality he will probably laugh and mock me. Which is what he does nearly daily even if I haven't screwed up. For example, if I don't run over a curb while driving him to a MRI he compliments me on arrival home. He said that last week. Yes, I did run over a curb in the parking lot two months ago and who cares? No one died! I think the tires are still in alignment. Whatevah!

I think my birthday is the greatest ever and have thought that since I was a kid. Smack dab almost in the middle of the year with Christmas for gifts! I was a deep thinker, even then.

I didn't know til today we are known for murder! Whee!

Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow!

152 110 91 Not sure I've ever seen a whammy bar on an acoustic guitar.

Don’t think I have either. There’s no technical reason why an acoustic couldn’t have one, though. The whammy bar adjusts the lengths of the actual strings to achieve its effect; it doesn’t do anything electronically.
Posted by: Stephen Price Blair
========
Some of the stronger acoustic guitarists can bend thinner guitar necks to achieve a similar effect. Pete Townshend preferred Gibson SGs of a certain vintage in the late 60's and early 70's (Tommy, Live at Leeds, and Who's Next) because he could bend the neck and alter his sounds that way.

Doing his windmill thing, Pete actually impaled himself on a Strat whammy bar later on and avoided hitting any important nerves or muscles. I am guessing that Pete wished he had been playing his Gibson SG's that evening. That might have been the 79 tour but cannot recollect exactly.

Agree. I can't read about the actual murders and what happened as I don't want to know. I sadly have an idea.

Mel Gilbson had a lovely tribute of Jesus welcoming them in their little matching teddy bear pj's to heaven. That's how I like to think of them.

I can't read about abuse to children. As a RN in the ED/Trauma for five years, then 2yrs doing other stuff for the dept, I was somehow "protected" from abuse and car accidents of children and teens (sons were teens then). I had a job share partner, childless, who got those when I was off.

I had to once deal with the father of a toddler boy he shook til the baby got brain damage and was flown out. The sheriff told me to not let the guy know he was a suspect as they arrested him at the children's hospital later. That was difficult because I wanted to shake him vs offering sympathy that the baby fell from a sofa as we waited for the mother.

I protect myself from things that make me sad or enraged or sickened. Child abuse in all forms does this and I avoid it.

Which partly just reminds us of how amazing the climate is here, as this stretch (from mid-July to .... now) is typical or nothing special in much of the country. Tropical storm the current culprit. And recall that the weather this calendar year has been ridiculously nice, even for here, right up until later July.

Didn't have AC put in when I re-did the HVAC 3 years ago. Until this July, I didn't "miss" it (i.e. would have turned it on) but maybe a few days in those 3 years. Don't plan to put it in now. My location is prime, right at the eastward edge of the marine influence, rarely uncomfortably hot (one hill over is 10 degrees hotter).

The judge in the Clancy case needs to hold contempt of court hearings for the nurse jurors who reportedly ignored expert witness testimony and brought in external information (who could possibly understand the information without an external background lecture from nurses on the jury), rather than relying on expert witness testimony, and then used that to attempt to bully a juror into agreeing with them.

That spelling (pronunciation) was a standard " term" for "whitey" in the 70s, 80s and into the 90s, but I haven't heard it recently.
Prior to that, it was "hunkey" (uh,not aw) as the word used for just about any east European ethnicity, which makes a good argument for it originally as a "Hungarian" derivative.
OTOH, I also heard "bohunk" (Bohemia - part of Czech) as a sort of equivalent term, so who knows?
They could be "fighting words", but they were mainly used in a razzing manner, what I saw Adam Corrola call " busting his balls" on a podcast.

239 In East Toledo, "Hunky" is not even a pejorative, it's just the word for Hungarian. And the bacon is hunky because you need a solid piece of jowl bacon to make the campfire delicacy Sutni szalonna, or hunky-turkey. Yes, at one time turkey was expensive and bacon was cheap.

You hang a piece of bacon over an open fire, and hold crusty bread slices under it as the hot grease cooks off and is absorbed into the bread. It gets a toasted crust on it. People who have learned not to say "hunky" now call it Greasy Bread. It goes pretty well with excessive drinking in several forms. You get good mileage out of the piece of bacon, so it was popular at the time Packo's used to sell those split half hot-dogs for a nickel.

And now the largest sports league in the world, the Premier League, is seeing mass demonstrations in sporting arenas to show support for the citizens of Ceuta.

242 Funny thing is that I almost never bought Nike shoes. The last pair I had was in 1990 and they quickly fell apart. Oddly, they never really made good running shoes, IMO. I wore Reebok forever until I switched to NB, never looking back.

Nike did, however, have a good clothing line. I got some of their shorts - I’m sure they would be classed as basketball shorts but I found them to be good for running. They held up nicely, as did their shirts, socks and headbands. I haven’t gotten a Nike product in at least 13-15 years though.

247 #2 the job market is all kinds of fucked up right now. I honestly don't know how people are getting jobs. I used to be a hot commodity if I put my resume on the boards I had people knocking down the door. (note this didn't make me rich or happy necessarily. And also,now I am nore 29 than I ever was). I am looking from the position of having a job and I have some REALLY strong contacts and in 4 months I have not gotten a single interview. And all the other parts have just gone weird.

Been that way for years. The only way to get work is to “know people”? Oh, you don’t know people? Go fucking starve.

I don’t believe in just making strategic friends only to knife them in the back later so I do not do well in that department. Hence no going into management in the logistical world as a retired logistics officer.

I have two 5 gallon pails of copper; one pail right full, the other 3/4 full. Needless to say, there is plenty of air space in each bucket. I did not make any effort to compact the material in any way. Still should make for a nice payday when I go to the city on Thursday.

Use abrasive cutoff wheel in angle grinder to saw shaft off flush with one of the pole pieces. Use drill press to drill 3 holes in shaft parallel to shaft center axis, but offset to perimeter. That greatly relaxed the interference fit, and pressure from two screwdrivers pried the pole piece off easy-peasy.

This is an issue that concerns the sentiments of the Japanese people, and the government has strongly urged Russia to cancel and remove the installation.

271 Berserker the USSR and Japan had a cold stand-off along the northern Chinese border (after the Soviets had kicked Japanese butts in small battles just before the main act of WWII kicked off). They had a non-aggression pact that both sides honored.

At Yalta Stalin promised to join the war against Japan within 3 months of Germany's surrender. He kept the promise, to the day. Treaty was abrogated. Soviet forces crashed through a weakened Shantung Army (Japan's forces in northern China) quickly. Japan surrendered 6 days later.

So technically no, Soviets did not do a lot of fighting against Japan. But the whole weird situation with Russia and Japan suited us fairly well (Japan didn't interfere with our Lend-Lease shipping to Far East ports).

276 Sanae's a great PM but this objection to the Russian monument I find odd and off-base. Imperial Japan's record of infamous atrocities is most lurid in China. Whining about a memorial to Soviet action that helped end Japan's dark chapter in China is just odd.

On the other side, I've long thought Moscow has fumbled things in the Far East. Resolving the territorial question with Japan, as part of a broader rapprochement, especially WRT investment and development, would be a winning approach. In its own right, plus as a diversification of Russian foreign economic ties - away from so much dependence on Chy-nah. The islands in dispute have zero inherent value to Moscow (mineral/energy rights can be shared), but are important to Japan.

278 Iran's massive investment in missile tech and fortification couldn't be erased in a few weeks. It was very badly damaged. But public estimates at the time the (idiotic) MOU thing was entered into still had them with several thousand missiles. Production capacity was hit hard (umm, but it can always be rebuilt, which is another reason regime change is the only result that isn't in effect kicking the can down the road).

Their stockpile is greatly reduced, and they didn't show much ability to inflict major damage with their systems.

Seriously, but not literally, remains the best filter when interpreting many (not all) statements by a certain talkative head of state with a flair for PR.

289 283 Khalkin Gol, (1939?)
“Border incidents” spanning July–August 1938
By the morning of 31 August, any Japanese remaining on Mongolian territory were either dead or prisoners. Of 60,000 troops trapped in the cauldron, 50,000 were later listed as killed, wounded and missing. Casualties in the veteran 23rd Division ran as high as 99 per cent. The Russians admitted casualties of 10,000 in killed and wounded throughout the campaign, but it seems likely that this was a considerable underestimate. The outnumbered Japanese Army Air Force claimed to have downed 1,200 Soviet planes (the Russian figure for their “kills” was 660) in the four months of hostilities, but in the days before instant close-support on the battlefield this could not sway the ground-fighting.

Now, on last day in August, Zhukov’s dog-tired, grimy tank crews stared east from the border they had regained, waiting for order to go on, while frantic Kwantung Army HQ scraped depots of Manchuria to find troops to stem what many feared would be a Red flood.

That order never came. ... autumn of 1939, Moscow & world had o, more urgent problems. Zhukov’s pincers met behind the Japanese
lines & Panzers rolled in Poland.

sommarnoje.jpg

James Lucas
@JamesLucasIT


This is not a photograph, and it's not an oil painting. It might be the most unbelievable watercolor ever made...

It's called Sommarnöje, which means something like Summer Delight, and Anders Zorn painted it in 1886. Look at the water, the gentle ripples, the reflections, the wet sheen of it, and then look at the two people, the fine detail of the wooden rowboat, the woman's white dress, the light on her face.

It has the near-photographic realism of an oil painting, and it was done in watercolor, a medium so unforgiving that a single wrong stroke ruins the entire piece.

Zorn painted this in the first summer of his marriage: the woman in white waiting on the pier is his new wife, Emma, whom he had married only months before. They had just come back from their honeymoon and were staying with her family at Dalarö near Stockholm, still looking for the home where they would spend their life. The man rowing toward her is their friend Carl Gustav Dahlström. It is a real moment from the happiest season of a young couple's life, caught and held forever.

In 2010 this single sheet of watercolor sold for twenty-six million Swedish kronor, over three million dollars, the highest price ever paid for a Swedish painting.

In his own lifetime, Zorn was celebrated above all for two things: his handling of light, and his ability to paint water. Sommarnöje is where you see exactly why...

26 Anders Zorn is the most kick-ass painter! Got to visit his house and museum in Sweden, and also saw a showing of his work in San Francisco's Legion Of Honor. While this watercolor is superb, the one I fell in love with is "The Thorn Bush" which is just as realistic. He was a contemporary of John Singer Sargent, whom he met while visiting America. Also famed for working with a limited palette, supposedly only using four colors, which I doubt was the case with every single one of his paintings. You know damn well he had ultramarine blue lurking in his studio at some point.

51 I sometime point this out on the art thread -- a lot of paintings are artists trying to capture the texture and light of different materials. This is why there are so many paintings of those shimmery silk gowns, or even curtains -- because they are challenging and fun to paint.

Same with sculpture -- it is often the artist trying to become the very best at showing water flowing over toes. or fabric draping from a shoulder, in marble.

This was all before photography. After photography artists spent their time painting stuff that wasn't there.

74 I've been enjoying the Big Bang spin-off Stuart Fails To Save the Universe. The premise is Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard build a machine to allow transportation between alternate universes. Stuart trips and breaks it causing Stuart, Kripke, Bert, and Denise to be cast into alternate universes. They try to fix the machine but even when it's operational, they don't know how to use it so they're constantly being thrown into other bizarre universes as they try to return to the real universe. Kind of a comedic Quantum Leap. Other Big Bang characters appear but are different. For example, Bernadette appears as an evil witch in a magic universe. Obviously, the humor is much broader than in BBT but I think it’s well written and funny.

Then a couple teen toughs followed me around muttering "Nice shoes, grandpa" stepping on my shoes with their black soles, then ran my feet over with their cart wheels.

It went from the size of a ping pong ball to a small almond. No oozing or redness or warmth. Her appetite is back.

Hopefully we get the “let’s just keep an eye on it” instead of “I think this needs to be surgically removed.” Because that’s expensive. And I don’t want anyone cutting on my little Fink.

118 The lack of hurricanes is positive evidence of climate change. As the climate changes, there may be instances of no hurricanes, while at other times, there may be hurricanes that cause flooding and widespread damage. These fluctuations are due to climate change.

143 Astrology, Ouija, Tarot - they're just games (and pseudo-science, Astrology) with no inherent good or bad about them. What they do is focus the mind, and what that means depends on how they're used.

My first experience with Ouija, an older cousin was so obviously pushing the palette around on purpose (while denying doing so) that I thought, oh, so that's the trick. Decades later, with a trusted friend, I tried again. Neither of us had a goal or agenda, and the palette just wandered around aimlessly. I realized the wandering, as opposed to sitting still, was a product of our mutual muscle-reflex. Interesting, but not spooky in any way.

Now, of course, if some young teen girls in a dark room with candles flickering invoke some dark being, they may come up with dangerous and disturbing results (whether one of them is forcing answers or not). Like when throwing the Tarot, the "death" card comes up, and, by golly, by the voodoo power of suggestion, one of the girls does something stupid and dies. (The interpretation of the card by more careful folks is that it symbolizes end and renewal.)

Still wise not to tempt demons. Trust in God, but it's not a good idea to sit on a cliff edge.

“There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.

Some people think. Some don't.😜

All manner of behaviors can leave minds open to messed-up mentality. The doors of perception are subjective, not inherent in some Milton Bradley toy.

I thought I saw an invisible ghost once (just go with it) and started to have a rising fear response. I reasoned that it might be a hallucination (most likely too much coffee), but, could be a demon, or an angel. From angels, there was nothing to fear (although, why do they always start with "fear not," eh?), and for demons I count on the shield of protective faith, thank you, Mr. Jesus. Get thee behind me, ugly one.

Fear and reason use different parts of the brain, and simple calm reasoning did not immediately quell the adrenaline rush of fear.

It was a very brief but educational experience.👻

175 anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens… Deut.

I never fooled with Ouija, save the two times I mentioned, and astrology was just amusing fantasy. But I did learn Tarot, and did readings for folks for a number of years. Long ago.

I never thought of it as divination or fortune-telling. It was just the chance positioning of cards in a layout. My favorite results where when someone would nod and say, that's so true, when I had no idea what it meant to them. I saw it helping people deal with their own lives and problems by holding up a kind of mirror. Nothing magical about it.

I was a professional: charged a quarter. Non-professionals shouldn't try these dangerous practices.

A few times, I used the cards to generate song lyrics. Inspirational, but I once created a song based on a milk carton label and another from just the name of the game of Risk™️, so, you get what you get from wherever.

Their aspens keep dying and are chopped down one by one. All connnected to a root system. The big one left a huge stump and it apparently drove him loco.

He started digging the stump about noon. Tried to hook it up to his SUV which did nothing. Now there is a tarp with dirt (he kept digging) and, oddly, a shop vac for the dirt.

One of the garage doors is wide open and both SUV's missing. We are unsure if he had a detour to the ED or what is going on. He may have started whacking at the roots and cut himself? Something ain't right. I guess we could close the garage door by dusk to help.

They claim the prosecution was "harsh" as she was a good mother! Right, right, right. They "could find no witnesses to proclaim otherwise." Certainly the husband did this no favors as he was on the stand. It is possible he simply can't believe he married a demon or wanted to admit it.

She is a manipulator. I guess none of them thought of that one. Ted Bundy manipulated and was, for heaven's sake, once on a rape hotline or similar in Washington.

I feel a bit harsh towards Clancy I wish I never had to see her face again. I know it is beside the point but I hate her nose. Her eyes are dead and evil. Her skin has not recovered well from the asphalt roof skid or she started out that way.

However, they found Clancy's lawyer compassionate, kind and funny. Why would a defense lawyer at the murder trial of 3 children by their mother's exercise bands find any humor? I want to ask if they have children or grandchildren. Probably feed feral rats for pets.

More whining about the pills and she "snapped." Her tox screen showed below therapeutic levels & not contributing.

Gemini Rising: Lindsay Clancy's Ex-Husband Threatens Conspiracy Theorists With Defamation Lawsuits

geminileo.jpg


This is what Geminis do -- they kill, and then they sue.

That's #Science.


The ex-husband of Lindsey Clancy, Patrick Clancy, is threatening through his lawyer to pursue legal action against "so-called influencers" who have accused him of the killings and claimed he framed Lindsey Clancy for them.

Patrick Clancy's attorney, Howard Cooper, said in a statement that the "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" has harmed his client's reputation and livelihood, the New York Times reported.

....

While she admitted to carrying out the killings, she pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, arguing that she had been experiencing postpartum psychosis and heard a voice commanding her to kill the children and herself. Her trial ended last week when the jury deadlocked.

Speaking of AWFULs: Trump has succeeded in pressuring the Woke Male Karen heading the Smithsonian to resign and take his "being on time and responsible for your own actions is white supremacy" fat ass with him.


Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III on Tuesday announced that he would retire at the end of the war, the Washington Post reported.

His retirement comes amid pressure from the Trump administration, which has worked to revamp many of the Institute's museums and displays.

Why are AWFULs so awful?

For reason incomprehensible to normal people, it is currently fashionable to "let your freak flag fly".

Possibly because the more outrageous the thing you say, the more people (or bots) will click on it and it's a cheap and easy way to get famous and maybe rich very quickly.

37 In an earlier thread I criticized Clancy's POS lawyer for publicly asking Trump to consider pardoning his POS client. Because Trump can't pardon state and local crimes.

On second thought, Clancy's POS lawyer is crazy like a fox. By publicly floating a pardon request that Trump cannot grant, the POS lawyer is telling all the Clancy crazy ladies to begin bombarding childless bull dyke MA Gov Maura Healey with requests and demands for a pardon. I have no idea what Healey sees as the pros and cons of pardoning Clancy.

Feminists wanted women to have access to the same high-paying jobs men had. Now that they've found out the price of holding those jobs. So, of course, the nature of the job must change so women can succeed.

Most of said idiots are white women, so none of this stuff with the Lindsay Clancy fans surprises me. A proportion of the female population is irrational and dim witted.

74 Take the Lindsey Clancy stuff to the desired AWFL outcome:

Are any of these Karens going to offer her a good-paying job if she is released? Perhaps they could hire her as a nanny for their children?

She will need a job to afford housing, utilities, and food - all things which the taxpayer is currently providing her. And being a paraplegic, she will require special accommodations AND someone to take care of her additional needs.

What kind of social life will she have outside of the place she is currently housed in? Does she honestly think that any of her friends will want to be around her now? It's been 3 years - they have all moved on.

She is better off where she is, whether she thinks so or not.

Some of us women who got the high-paying jobs worked harder than the men did to get to the top of those jobs, and were still shit on in some sectors. You don't have to be a screeching idiot to want a decent job that uses one's mind to excel in, and be paid accordingly. But I can document that men who were just starting out in architecture were paid more than I was after 10 years of experience, and no failed projects.

Just because some imbeciles don't get that it takes hard work to get ahead doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer the kind of crap I put up with for years.

Most of that went away over the past 25 years or so, but no means all of it. Standing firm on professional ethics can get a woman accused of being a hysteric. That doesn't often happen to men.

I'm a Gemini and did not kill my children. A sentence I never thought I'd write.

The mere fact that ANYONE believes in astrology or horoscopes is retarded. I used to read them and snicker.

152 I think about what Clancy’s life is going to look like. No matter what happens to her from a criminal justice standpoint, she’s going to be dependent on others for the rest of her life. That population is broken into 3 segments: one, those who are disgusted and revolted by her but who choke that down and deal with her as professionals; those who can’t do that and make their revulsion known to her; and those lunatics who actually identify and side with her. If there’s even the slightest glimmer of self-awareness in her, she would have to know that any time showed her anything approaching affection or warmth, that that person was likely just as much of a psychopath as she (Clancy) is. Not like that feels anything like full justice in this world, but never truly knowing a normal human connection ever again does seem like a kind of Hell to me…

Some do, some buy the kill-or-be-killed crap. Some women (this was in the 80's, in particular) thought they would be the only woman who would make it, so they did so over the bodies of any other women. Most of those found out the hard way that it wasn't worth it. They still had to use the ladies' room, just like the rest of us, and often they overheard.... well.... let's just say we weren't fooled.

I spent a lot of my career helping women figure out how to be proficient and professional. I never had any issues finding good people to work with. But those nasty grasping bitches? Somehow, they always ended up submarined in the end.

Allowing her to make this a medical event means she will be allowed to walk away from it within 5-7 years I guarantee it.

There are people online making the argument "she is out of kids to kill so what is gained by punishing her?"

Well the dozen or so copycats that have already happened would know "no you do not get to kill the kids and go free."

187 I looked at the 3 jurors on mute at the UK DM and I know they sound like shrieking harpies. Didn't read or listen as I protect my brain and ears.

I probably would have been the lone female hold out and driven them to violence. That would have created some headlines. The first one looks trans, eh?

In the one federal civil case in FL I took over anyway, kindly, as I have my ways and people simply surrender. I was sweet but firm that they were wrong.

I wanted to go home and did believe the slimey guy was guilty as charged. Read my notes calmly to press a few points and done.

It was a 50/50 split with voters and the Dim's caved. They knew a stubborn redneck womman when I spoke and gave up easily to facts.

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the political parties also have the same right to reduced ad rates on television before an election that candidates do.

The one holdout? The one who isn't a biologist and also still wears a mask in public.

The Supreme Court on Friday lifted a ruling that prevented party committees from accessing cheaper advertising rates in the lead-up to November's elections, siding with Republicans, for now, in an emergency case that drew staunch Democratic opposition.

Federal law mandates that broadcast stations offer their lowest available rate in the 60 days preceding a general election. Everyone agrees candidates get the discount, but whether political parties and joint fundraising committees can, too, has come under question.

The court appeared to split 8-1, though the justices don't have to disclose their votes in emergency decisions publicly. The majority said that federal courts had no authority yet to intervene in the dispute.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the court's junior liberal justice, publicly dissented. In a one-paragraph opinion, she explained the lower panel likely had authority to move ahead.

Republicans' Senate and House campaign arms -- boasting a cash advantage and backed by the Trump administration -- brought the fight to the Supreme Court after Democratic candidates sued to stop them from accessing the cheaper rate.

Democrats are suddenly suing to stop this because, of course, the RNC has a huge amount of money right now and the DNC is broke.

With the midterms less than a dozen weeks away, the Republican National Committee continues to boast a massive cash advantage over its Democratic counterpart, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures made by both committees on Wednesday.

The filings, which cover the month of July, show that the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million of cash on hand at the end of the month compared with the Republican National Committee's $130 million in cash.

The DNC also has $17.9 million in debts, though the committee has reduced its debts by roughly 3 percent from the $18.5 million in debts and obligations owed at the end of June.

The Democrats' fundraising arm has been mired in money issues for months: The Washington Post reported in July that though DNC Chair Ken Martin and allies expected Democratic victories and the approaching midterms to bring major donors back, that hasn't materialized.

Reporters use the label "far right" 3 to 14 times more often than "far left." The term implies that the parties opposing mass migration are undemocratic. In fact, they're winning elections. The real fascists are the ones censoring, banning, and prosecuting their enemies.

Michael Shellenberger

Political parties that oppose mass migration are "far-right," according to most of the mainstream news media.

The Associated Press reported on Sunday that "the far-right Alternative for Germany was projected to win a strong victory in a regional election," and characterized the party as "anti-migration and Russia-friendly."

Reuters called France's presidential front-runner the "far-right candidate Marine Le Pen." AP described Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as "the head of a far-right party" who "backs curbing migration and promoting traditional values." Euronews labeled both her Brothers of Italy party and Matteo Salvini's League as "far-right."

Others describe Reform UK as a "far-right political party" and call its head, Nigel Farage, "leader of the far-right, anti-immigration party Reform UK."

The label implies that these parties are fascist, but by the standards of scholars who study fascism, they are not.

Roger Griffin, who wrote in 2020 that members of the International Association of Comparative Fascist Studies had "broadly adopted" his definition of fascism as "a revolutionary form of ultranationalism," and that "none of the leaders of illiberal democracies are actually fascist," and that the danger of parties like the Rassemblement National "is precisely that they are NOT fascist."

Tim Bale of Queen Mary University of London noted that the term "far right" is a "loaded, weaponised term" likely to "cause confusion and controversy in equal measure."

Even Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times, who is hostile to right-wing populists, admitted in 2024 that "if a party pushes policies that liberals regard as unpleasant, reactionary or even racist but does that within the framework of democratic politics and the rule of law, the term 'far right' may no longer be appropriate." And Rachman said Meloni "to date has looked like a relatively conventional conservative in power..."

Communists always lie. The first rule of Communist Club is denying the existence of Communist Club.

LA police decide to finally crack down on "teen takeovers" and illegal street racing.

Dozens of arrests were made and hundreds of citations were issued when the Los Angeles Police Department completed "Operation Street Sweeper" overnight, busting a Harbor Gateway street takeover.

A fleet of tow trucks and buses was called to the scene to arrest drivers and spectators and impound vehicles.

According to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, "Operation Street Sweeper" was planned ahead of time using intelligence gathering and drone technology that helped officers predict the locations of four separate street takeovers.

The operation conducted by LAPD's Street Racing Task Force culminated in a massive scene at the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Alondra Boulevard around 2 a.m. LAPD said over 700 people were gathered for an illegal street takeover at the intersection.

More than 150 LAPD officers were deployed to the scene and surrounded the massive gathering, taking dozens of people into custody and citing hundreds more.

In total, McDonnell said 66 people were arrested for participating in or aiding in a street race or takeover. Three additional arrests were made: one for assaulting an officer, one for battery and one for obstructing or interfering with officers.

In addition to the nearly 70 arrests, 570 citations were issued, McDonnell said. Of those 570 citations, 442 were issued for being a spectator at a speed contest or exhibition of speed. An additional 128 citations were issued for juveniles who were out past the city of Los Angeles' 10 p.m. curfew for minors. McDonnell said the youngest person was just 11 years old.

Law enforcement impounded a total of 200 vehicles from the scene, and in the process of making arrests and issuing citations, McDonnell said seven firearms were recovered. Canisters of nitrous oxide were reportedly also recovered.

17 I think we're looking at the wrong underlying issue on this one. First off, the DNC may be showing a crappy balance, but democrat candidates are taking in a windfall. For all the Kabuki theater associated with ActBlu, their current records for 2026 show them setting fundraising records much higher than previous years (when we assumed, likely correctly that they were just laundering funds...taxpayer funds, for DNC candidates).

The lawsuit filed by the DNC to keep the RNC from receiving discounted air time is more likely to keep an advantage they have been exploiting. Ask yourself a simple question....

"Knowing the absolute bias of the media corporations relative to politics, do you really think they weren't handing the DNC discounted rates under the table and inflating RNC rates simultaneously?"

The SCOTUS ruling was less about expanding the definition...and more about the DNC keeping their unfair advantage.

Wreckless driving for a teen is a catalyst, but I expect it was the California law that states that a California license is probationary up until you turn 19 years old. And finally, teen curfew ....can't drive the thing if you aren't supposed to be there. And, since there were over 500 arrests, they can't just leave cars downtown...impound lot is a safety feature.

But these teen takeovers and dogshit street races with JDM shirboxes largely go on uninhindered.

Seems giving tickets to rich guys in loafers is much easier than chasing down feral gangbangers with stolen guns.

But LA did crackdown on this takeover, so maybe things are changing. Or it’s just election season.

Bride of PI is currently teaching at a low-income Middle School.

She has now learned to identify early in the semester which parents always back the hoodlums and which parents support their child getting an education.

For the students of the latter group of parents, it is remarkably effective to say, "You haven't turned in any work this entire week and you have been disruptive in my classroom. Do I need to send another email to your mother?"

That results in good behavior and paperwork incoming.

Too bad only 20-30% of her students have that dynamic.

I have no patience for adherents of islam. If you are a devout muslim you must, according to the book, be violent. Ergo, the only good muslim is a bad muslim.

Aside from Zuhdi Jasser, who has been spinning his wheels for more than 20 years, what well-known muslim has spoken out against all the slaughter?

135 Some of you advanced arithmeticians seem to have a feel that whenever you see the symbol 'x' there is algebra involved.
Please be advised that it is the symbol for multiplication.
Doing multiplication is not algebra.

Illegally parked vehicles can always be towed, no matter the legality of what you're doing. (I have been paranoid enough, just going downtown to a live music show, to take a photo of my vehicle safely behind the line for the fire hydrant zone.) Just ask yourself whether you truly believe that the kind of punks that drive to a "street takeover" would bother with parking legally.

Tucker Carlson: Algebra Is a Jewish Plot to Confuse the Goys by Sticking Letters Into Math

Tucker Carlson used to posture as an intellectual. An intellectual who was not so far up his ass that he couldn't see practical reality or the real problems of citizens, but an intellectual nonetheless.

He never actually was an intellectual. But he did pose as one.

He's decided that Real Nationalist Socialism Populism requires its agitators to be dumb as Hasan Piker and now declares that nobody -- including engineers, pilots, ship captains, etc. -- really needs algebra.

It's a scam created by Jews to distract the goys while the Jews rule the world (without algebra, we assume).

Tucker Carlson has found a new hill to die on. Not only does he hate the Jews and blame Israel for every terrible thing that's happened on Earth, but he's now perplexed by the presence of letters in basic algebra.
Advertisement

In an interview released Monday, Carlson spent two hours talking to Jess Elofson, an artist, potter/ceramicist, welder, and Ford collector who lives on a farm in South Dakota. Why he deserved an interview is unclear, but the pair discussed art, beauty, politics, and, of course, why "You're good little goy slaves" if you think algebra has any real-world application. How did they come to that conclusion? Because Elofson claimed to have never used it in constructing a wood-fired kiln.

"Why does algebra put letters into numbers?" Carlson asked.

"I think just to f**k with you," Elofson said.

"So you deal with math in your job every day. You've already, I think, demonstrated your grasp of math is high"

"I mean, functional math. Yeah, yeah, for sure."

"Well, if you can build a wood-fired kiln, you understand math," Carlson said. "But you didn't add letters to numbers in the process of doing that?"

"That's the weirdest thing," Elofson replied. "Nowhere did I find any letters in my math to calculate the size and structural integrity of a cantonary arch. Isn't that weird? Oh, that was weird. Because every math teacher was always like, you need to know some algebra. I've yet to encounter a single person in my life that uses algebra."

"Actually?" Carlson asked.

"Have you?"

"Yeah, but I mean, I live in a fake world," the former Fox News host said.

"That's why you use fake math with letters. Congratulations to everybody out there in the matrix. Good job. You're good little goy slaves," Elofson said.

"That's amazing."

Of course, this is the man who claims to have the best interests of conservatism at heart, although he doesn't identify as one anymore, except when it's convenient.

Actually algebra was not invented by the Jews but by Tuq'r's fellow Muslims.

15 Now ace, don't join the mob mau-mauing poor Tucker just because he's an idiot who has shown just how clueless he is. It will drive away the high quality guests who would otherwise do his show. He only had a brief period of adequacy because of the utter wasteland that is mainstream "media". Imagine actually interviewing the Capitol Police chief about January 6 (something the bogus committee "investigating" it didn't do, incredibly). And so on.

But once he stopped letting his better guests just talk, well. That Vance is a friend with such a fucking cretin is no surprise, but still damning.

You didn't calculate the span, rise, and radius of the arch? You didn't calculate the sum of horizontal and vertical forces on the support blocks? You didn't calculate the compressive stress vs the allowable stress of the materials?

I have doubts you calculated the size and structural integrity of the arch if you didn't do those things.

88 Solving differential equations, or even doing basic algebra is probably beyond me at this point. And the average man doesn't need that math much, so I'll leave it to the engineers to 'splain to me how they are used. I know relativity is pretty important to understand in practical space missions ....

It is true that most people won't use much of the math they learn in school, but there are reasons to study it anyway.

1) Train your brain for rigor. Few things make you think harder.
2) As a society, we need an educational filter for intelligence, and math is a good one. You should learn early on whether you're suited to STEM or something else.
3) Any successful modern society requires math competence in a portion of the population.

Say you're a shop owner who sells fruit. You have a cart you take to a nearby town to pick up your fruit.

Based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 500 bananas and 30 watermelons.
Also based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 300 bananas and 40 watermelons.

You find a pretty good deal on bananas and watermelons this time.

You want to buy 400 bananas and as many watermelons as you can.

Without breaking your cart, and without wasting your money by buying too few watermelons to fill your cart or so many you break your cart or are force to abandon some, how many can you buy?

Posted by: Puddleglum


"Goy" (plural "goyim") was the words used in Yiddish-speaking communities from the Middle Ages up[ through the 19th century to refer to anyone who wasn't Jewish. It wasn't originally derogatory, just a descriptive term to distinguish locals from outsiders. Every ethnicity and langauage groups has some kind of similar term. A good example of a similar terms was how Native Americans would refer to any outsider as "paleface."

But once the word "goy" arrived (along witht he rest of Yiddish) into an urban environment (specifically 19th century New York), and non-Jews heard it for the first time, they kind of took offense, feeling the term was exclusionary and demeaning. (Exactly how whites took offense at the originally non-derogatory term "paleface.")

Eventually, the word was burdened with negative connotations, such that anytime a Yiddish-speaker used it, it was deemed insulting.

Fast forward to the post-10/7 world, and now it is an adjective which means, "Inferior cultural artifacts devised by sneaky Jews to waste non-Jew's time."

---------------------
Speaking with NBC10 Boston, the three women detailed the arguments they had with the one male juror who would not acquit.

One of the women, known only as juror two, told the outlet: 'He, I think got up to the cart [with the exhibits] once and then went back to his seat.

'He would not interact with us and try to understand. We read to him the definition of reasonable doubt.

'He said one day "why don't we have the judge read it again?", and we were like no we have it in front of us.'

One woman, the jury's foreperson, told the outlet: 'He had reasonable doubt. He admitted he had reasonable doubt.

'I started filling out the forms, I was so excited. There were three forms I had to fill out, and then he said "but I'm still not going to say she's not guilty."'

According to the trio, they argued so much with the man that the alternate jurors could hear them through a wall.

Our societal betters felating each other.

French filmmaker Florian Zeller has returned with a new feature, Bunker, starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, which earned a 16-minute ovation this evening after its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival.

There was a very enthusiastic response to the movie in the room, with Cruz and Bardem sharing hugs during the applause and woos from the crowd. The 16-minute 30 second ovation takes it beyond the 14-minute ovation scored by Wild Horse Nine earlier in the festival and makes it one of the longest ever at the Venice Film Festival.

You’d both be using the same equations, which straddle the line between geo and trig. You’d be calculating the height as the unknown leg of a geometric triangle with 90 degrees at the base, the known distance of another leg, and the angle of the incline of the last leg that goes straight to the top of the height object.

That poor man is a hero to me.

I simply want her locked up with her tubes tied to never, ever be near a child again.

Unsure if prison would give her care as the nut house does. The fact that she picks and chooses what she eats shows a thought process. Is she paranoid or the food is not good enough? Apparently very little hygiene til they haul her off to the shower room. I guess she sits in her misery.

I don't want her out of the life she made for herself. She deserves nothing but having to be trapped in her own misery til her last breath.

I don't understand the mercy towards her when she showed none for her own children.

If she was that psycho her little self admission to a psych unit would have become her home for awhile. She manipulated them as well, I am positive of this,to be discharged after 5dys.

I hope there is not a trial but keeping her locked up for life. I am tired of seeing photos of her scowling profile as she creeps me out. So does her attorney...she picked someone just like her.

-------
No. But you're going to need a lot of trial and error. Or access to the result of other people's trial and error.


And it's not as if building a kiln is the epitome of human achievement. People have done it for probably tens of thousands of years. If that's the most complex thing you'll ever want or need to do, sure, you can probably make a serviceable kiln without too much math. If you want to build something a bit more complex, like say a telephone system or a digital computing device, or a friggin' rocket ship, you're definitely going to need some advanced math. So enjoy your little wood-fired kiln while you depend on other people to bring you electricity and clean water so you don't die horribly like most of humanity throughout history.

/BTW, nobody tell Cucker that Hebrew traditionally uses its 22 alphabet letters to represent numbers in a system similar to Roman numerals. This method, known as Gematria, assigns specific numeric values to each letter, which are then combined to form larger numbers.

342 Find x

This is how I wanted to answer all of the algebra quizzes from HS through college.

With the added twist of why do you care because I don't? Let x remain free!

I was an unruly student at times. On my first nursing psych quiz, and I hated it, I made an A. After a lot of moaning to anyone in the class, the professor and my bf/husband who'd try to explain it to me.

The professor smirked and announced I made the top grade and my classmates snarled at me. I continued to say I did not understand. The professor, who was also head of the nursing program, said, "That's because you are in a fugue state." I said I reckon so.

I hated clinicals the most. Totally worthless for me to pretend to do the bare minimum of nursing vs give me an infected incision to clean. Or post-op heart surgery. That I understood. I was nice but hopeless in psych nursing.

We had to go to a chronic nursing home for a month where the men fought over cig butts and the sad women rocked baby dolls.

We were supposed to figure out a "care plan." The best I could come up with, which we did not present to the instructor, was to divide the men into teams to see how many cig butts were won.

More Illegal Aliens Arrested for Doing That Thing That Never, Ever Happens

We're moving towards The Most Secure Elections in History, and the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) don't like it one bit.

Footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows federal agents executing a sweep linked to a multi-state Department of Justice (DOJ) probe that has resulted in criminal charges against individuals for illegal voting, falsifying citizenship status and other election fraud related charges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.

The charges arrive as part of a highly publicized nationwide surge by the Trump administration to hunt down election-related crimes ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Over the past year, the Justice Department has filed lawsuits against nearly 30 states to force the surrender of confidential voter rolls, while simultaneously repurposing Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)--an agency historically focused on cartels and terrorism--to spearhead a search for unlawfully registered non-citizens.

"Despite the media and Democrats claiming it never happens, the evidence of non-citizens registering to vote in our elections continues to pile up," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Any non-citizens found registering to vote and voting in our elections will be held accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders."

...

The Justice Department announced Friday that five people--including two illegal immigrants and two non-citizens with legal status--had been federally charged with unlawfully casting ballots, falsifying citizenship status, fraudulently registering to vote and aiding and abetting during the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Some of the arrestees, according to a DOJ press release, could face up to more than a decade in prison if found guilty of providing a false statement of citizenship in order to vote and other election fraud charges they are facing.

...


Meanwhile, Homeland Security announced earlier this summer that an audit of public voter rolls had identified more than 250,000 registered noncitizens in just four states: California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada.

Just days ago, internal directives revealed by CNN showed Homeland Security Investigations launching a coordinated "voter fraud surge" into nine key states--including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin--to hunt down non-citizens suspected of election interference. The handful of arrests announced Friday are among the latest enforcement actions.

Very related: An illegal alien and criminal kept taunting an ICE agent by texting him that he was going to vote Democrat in the election and strip him of power and immunity.

ICE arrested him.

HE TEXTED ICE HE WAS VOTING DEMOCRAT IN THE MIDTERMS.

That's how they caught him.

Honduran noncitizen. California voter roll. Already on probation for blocking an ICE building -- then he kept texting the agent that he couldn't wait for November so their immunity would be gone.

"He had no fear whatsoever harassing an ICE agent, letting him know how he's planning to vote in the midterms and wants to take their immunity away."

"That, obviously, got the agent interested to see whether he WAS registered to vote. That's how he came on their radar."

Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores checked the citizen box on November 4, 2025. Two felonies. Deportation if convicted.

Bill Essayli: first of many. California still won't audit the rolls.

========

I assume that illegals vote at about 6%. There was a study of the 2008 election that came to this conclusion.

I also assume it was that high because there was no real consequence for doing it.

In addition, many illegals probably thought that they were legally allowed to vote since they got registered.

I think the ICE effort this year and last year, combined with stories like this, will drive down that number significantly. I think it'll affect even legal immigrants who do have a right to vote. They'll just be too scared to try it.

Essentially, it'll depress their turnout beyond just those deported.

No, it doesn't addressed the dirty voter rolls issue, but if 6% of illegals are voting and there are tens of millions of them, and you dissuade them down to 5% while removing a bunch at the same time....that makes a difference.

He has full control of the DOJ, so the legal side of his administration continues without pause.

A mid-sized city in Connecticut has sparked anger from Team Trump after its city council decided to let potentially violent illegal aliens serve as cops.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Danbury City Council voted 18-2 on September 1 to allow non-citizen legal migrants and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients to serve as police officers.

Fuck em. They can’t arrest an American exercising their vote.

The point is they would be arresting non-Americans trying to vote.

That LITERALLY DOES NOT HAPPEN. It’s pure propaganda bullshit. Almost all voter fraud cases in the last 10 years involve MAGA.

They've arrested people for driving near them, rammed skulls into the wall, arrested them IN COURT for immigration, in hospitals after crash but BEFORE receiving care, just "deported" a US citizen to Mexico...I don't really trust them at polling places

you can also do a citizen arrest on agents if they are commiting crimes. They're literally interfering with elections and trying to intimidate voters.

Attacking mail in voting and in person voting. It’s almost like the Trump administration hates voting.

it’s a conservative wet dream for them to show up so they can beat up grandmas in tactical uniform and pretend like they did something

80 A story a week in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Inquirer - A Guinean immigrant has lived in the U.S. legally for two decades. Unable to deport him to his homeland, ICE wants to send him to a third country. Sept 3, 2026

'He’s the epitome of who you would want to live in this country,' the man's attorney said in court.

In part, "In Guinea, a nation of 12 million people that’s roughly twice the size of Pennsylvania, Fadel Cherif was jailed by the government after protesting the results of his country’s 1998 presidential election, which was marred by irregularities. He later fled in fear of being rearrested, using a document that showed a different Guinean identity to enter the United States in New York in November 2003."
...

"Palladino said in an interview that Fadel Cherif is the main support for his wife, who has legal permanent residency, also known as a green card, and for their four American-born sons, including Abdoulaye, a Marines reservist."

130 At The Telegraph: "Time lords prepare to kick leap seconds into the next millennium."

Earth's rotational speed is changing, possibly soon resulting in a negative leap-second.

"Most digital architectures and network time servers are hardcoded under the assumption that leap seconds are strictly additive. [A negative leap-second] could trigger severe disruption across critical national infrastructure, including telecommunications, electricity grids, and satellite navigation systems,"

It's Y2K all over again. Somebody got stingy, didn't allocate enough bits to contain a proper time field. Except this time we don't even know when the problem hits exactly. The Time Lords have decided that if we can get it all fixed by 2035, we might be OK.

The dirty secret is that the whole Reddit project became a big money maker when they sold the data to AI and probably due in part to the deranged and bot commentary there, it caused major issues with AI frontier models, to the extent that all of them main ones are reducing Reddit content in their training modules.

I don't know about other states but you can't vote here in Texas unless they scan your drivers license. And if it doesn't match the voter registration paper you are getting a paper ballot marked "provisional" that may or may not be counted depending on if they can verify who you are before the deadline.


I have witnessed people who have recently moved and did not update their DL handed a provisional ballot at the election place.

Posted by: Oldcat

He did. And then he lived "legally" in the United States for nearly 20 years under a status known as "withholding of removal."

What is Withholding of Removal?
Withholding of removal is a specific form of immigration relief. It is different from standard asylum or a green card.
No Deportation to Home Country: The government promises not to send you back to a country where you face persecution or torture.
Work Authorization: People with this status can apply for a yearly work permit and get a social security number.
No Path to Citizenship: You cannot get a green card, become a U.S. citizen, or travel outside the United States.
Third-Country Risks: The government can legally try to deport you to a different third country if one accepts you, though doing so is rare.

And this is probably a bigger problem in the US than we realize.

The retardedness is off the scales. They’re called variables, Tucker. A letter is a representation of any number combination that will satisfy the formula. The question is just so stupid. Algebra doesn’t “put letters into numbers”… it uses letters as symbols for abstract manipulation to derive powerful generalizations…. Egad

Most recent was NoBlogs being shut down (a centralized blogging software that antifa used) and an Italian server that was shut down tied to NoBlogs.

Along with actual convictions of antifa activists in the dozens of years because they tried terroristic violence and the feds have a lot of power to punish people for that because of stuff like the Patriot Act.

One of the keys to understanding the left is that they live in fear and misery. Those shots of them screaming and crying and wailing in their cars etc, that's their life. They feel a huge burden of hopeless disaster, that they are fighting alone against the ultimate evil, that they are the rebels against the evil Empire, that they are the oppressed other skulking through ruins while being hunted by hateful puritans who want to lynch them while burning them in a church and chaining them to a sink barefoot and perpetually pregnant etc.

277 It's the hallmark of the modern left, that they are offended that anyone would deign to use their own brain and cogitate, and utilize deductive or inductive reasoning. One might well arrive at the wrong conclusions, you see. This is not tolerable.

This is a huge change from even 20 or 25 years ago, maybe. You are allowed to choose sides, even encouraged. But you have to stay within the lines. Repeat slogans, thought ending cliches. Virtue signaling.

It is all very circular now, tautologies on steroids. "We're good people, because we believe the good things". And you're a bad person, who believes all the wrong things.

Now they also generally believe there is no such thing as objective reality or proofs. Everything is subjective. So they are reduced to claiming "There is no right or wrong." just different.

But they - surprise! - are always right, about everything. It's the amazing self-licking ice-cream cone. They've painted themselves into a corner long ago, and it's getting a lot less crowded in thar, because people reflexively cannot abide all those contradictions and absurdities.

The Eternal Op Continues: "25 years after 9/11, many Muslims fear a new backlash"

The Real Victims of 9/11 were Muslims.

Just like the Real Victims of the conquests of Spain, Constantinople, and the Balkans were the Muslims.


The morning of Sept. 11, 2001, began like any other day. Sabinah Mohyuddin was getting her kids ready for school in Clarksville, Tennessee, while her husband, a cancer physician, was still asleep.

Then the first plane struck the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.

"I remember when it happened, because my husband always put his alarm to National Public Radio," she said. "He came running out shouting, 'Turn on the TV!'"

It wasn't clear whether the first strike was intentional. After dropping her kids off, Mohyuddin watched in horror as a second plane crashed into the south tower.

She and the rest of the nation waited in petrified anticipation for answers about who was behind the attack that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Then Mohyuddin, a Muslim, learned the hijakers also followed Islam.

"It fell on me like a heavy weight," she said. "What did this mean for the Muslim community? What did this mean for me?"

Making it all about you, and not even hiding it.


Now, 25 years after the attacks, Muslims across the country are asking the same question as they experience rising Islamophobia and concerns about their First Amendment right to religious freedom.

Over 40% of U.S. adults believe Muslims are less patriotic than other Americans and that Muslim Americans are having a negative impact on the country, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in May.

Obviously far-right racists. There is no reason to think that there is an intense anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-Jewish strain in Islam, except, you know, for all the terrorist attacks and constant verbal attacks on the west.

But other than that -- no evidence. Must be racism.


The stigmatization, often amplified by politicians, has affected everything from immigration statuses to due process rights and everyday religious practices. Muslim leaders and community members, in turn, told the USA TODAY Network they're left fighting to defend their faith and warning the nation that its founding principles are at stake.

"Being Muslim doesn't make me less American," Salam Jabaieh, a Muslim woman from Arizona, said. "Those things are part of who I am, and I shouldn't have to make myself less visible or less Muslim in order to prove I belong here."


In the days after 9/11, then-President George W. Bush made public statements defending Islam and differentiating the faith from the attack.

He quoted from the Quran and said "Islam is peace" during remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington, DC. Bush also met with Islamic leaders, including Nihad Awad, national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR was established in 1994 and is the country's largest Muslim civil liberties organization.

Though Awad disagreed with many of Bush's policy positions, he told USA TODAY he saw "sincerity" and "openness" from Bush, a desire for unity amid the devastation.

But the violence that plagued Muslims and mosques in the days and years after 9/11 stood in stark contrast to those sentiments.

The first 9/11-linked hate crime came just a few days later, when an Arizona man murdered Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh man who wore a turban the shooter interpreted as a sign he adhered to Islam. Muslims were killed in attacks that family members and advocacy groups tied to the spike in Islamophobia. A number of mosques were also burned to the ground or severely damaged in arson fires.

Note there are no numbers mentioned here. "Muslims" -- no number given -- "were killed in attacks." "A number of mosques" were damaged in fires.

How many?

Not many at all, or else you'd tell us the numbers.

By the way, a lot of churches are burning lately and the media doesn't seem to think that's a sign of rising ant-Christian animus.

Now comes the media's "Bush was a good man tryin' his best but Trump is a monster turn:"

But Muslim leaders described a notable shift when President Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015. He initiated what became known as the "Muslim ban" during his first term and has taken similar action since returning to office.

Federal authorities have arrested and sought to deport pro-Palestinian activists, actions that judges have deemed a First Amendment violation.

"Activists." Members of the Muslim Brotherhood openly calling for violence against Jews and Americans.


Some Republican leaders also have used rhetoric and pushed policies that have come under criticism by Muslim Americans and others. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist group in 2025, which initially excluded a number of Islamic schools from a state-sponsored voucher program because of perceived affiliation with the organization, according to a lawsuit. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also issued the designation, which a federal judge struck down in March.

Such action by governors has had a trickle-down effect on local municipalities and school boards, according to Adam Abutaa, of the Muslim civic engagement organization Emgage Florida. Muslim students are less likely to feel they can freely express themselves on their campuses or to their elected officials, he said.

Really? Muslims feel they can't fully express themselves on campus?

We've seen Jews beaten by Muslims on campus. They want to "express themselves" further than that?


Saajid Khan, a 21-year-old University of South Florida student, echoed those sentiments. He was one of several students who were praying in a parking garage on campus in November 2025 when several men disrupted them, shouting profanities and taunting them with bacon − a forbidden food in Islam. The men were later charged over the incident.

"I think there's a lot of propaganda pushed against Muslims, which leads to an unsafe environment," Khan said.

There's a single incident of Muslims being "taunted with bacon."

How many incidents are there of non-Muslims being taunted with bullets and explosives?

Stephen Kruiser:

The number of Americans who are dishonoring those killed by Islamic terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001 is tragic and abominable. This is from a VIP post Catherine wrote over the weekend:

My colleague Robert Spencer, an expert in Islamic history and modern jihad movements, says that there have been 49,000 Islamic jihad attacks since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. And yet only 25 years after those attacks, with nearly 50,000 terrorist incidents attributable to Islam in the time period, New York has a Muslim mayor and Americans in all 50 states claim to support Palestinian terrorists. We even have U.S. administrations funding jihadi regimes and removing terror designations from Syrian mass murderers. It's insane.

Insane and heartbreaking.

There was a brief time of unity back in 2001 that has been followed up by a quarter-century of American leftists being apologists for Islam. They're either rabid supporters of jihadi murderers or dealing with a case of mass denial the likes of which has never been seen in history. The leftists' responses to Islamic terror attacks have become routine sick jokes. We're constantly told that motives are "unclear" when "Allahu Akbar!" was the last thing people heard before they were killed. If you're sane and mention that there just might be a pattern, they all start barking "Timothy McVeigh" like trained seals.


I frequently write about the fact that American leftists live in an alternate, fictional reality. One of the biggest fictions that they peddle is that Islamic terrorism isn't a problem, but the white Christians are a powder keg that's ready to blow. It's wearisome and dangerous. When Democrats are in charge, they're never looking for the real bad guys.

In another VIP post from last weekend, Robert wrote about what we can expect from the lunatic left this week:


Friday, September 11 will be the 25th anniversary of the jihad attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, and the far left's propaganda arm, the establishment media, is already hard at work repeating the lesson that leftists want us to take away from this grim milestone: It was all our fault. And now, "Islamophobia" is worse than ever, underscoring the left's second big takeaway from 9/11: Muslims were the real victims.

🚨 WOW! 9/11 families are on the steps of NYC city hall DEMANDING Mayor Mamdani stay FAR AWAY from the 25th anniversary ceremony on Friday

"Dude, we DO NOT want you to come," a victim's daughter, who was nine years old when her father was kiIIed, said

"It is today that he stands with people like Hassan Piker. It is today that he hires people like Ramzi Kassem. It is today that he stands with an imam that was a CO-CONSPIRATOR of the '93 bombing. THAT is what we object to."

The Catholic League President Bill Donohue just took NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the woodshed in front of a crowd...and it was BRUTAL.

Donohue said Mamdani is more concerned about "Islamophobia" than he is about the death of 3,000 innocent Americans.

Whoa.

DONOHUE: "Thank you, Bill Donohue, President of Catholic League."

"On that fateful day, 9/11, I looked out my window on 34th Street and 7th Avenue and saw the twin towers go down."

"I'm a veteran, United States veteran, I don't have a lot to say about Zohran Mamdani."

"He should not be here. I wrote him a letter on August 3rd...explaining why he is such a divisive figure."

"He said that 'something happened' on 9/11."

"I'll tell you what happened...radical Muslims came in here to bomb the United States of America."

"I don't say Muslims, because that's wrong. I'm talking about radical Muslims."

"He can't bring himself to say that!"

"He is more concerned about Islamophobia than he is the death of 3,000 people, innocent people, on that day."

"This man is a disgrace to veterans, and believe me, as a Catholic, we contacted NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority a year later...85 to 90% of first responders who were murdered, they were Catholic."

"And we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters against the likes of Hasan Piker, who says nothing but good things about the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas."

"It's a disgrace!"

"Mamdani, do us all a favor and just stay home."

I would beg to differ. There is no such thing as secularism with Islam. Because of poorly understood and misinterpreted 1A rulings, Christians have had to erect a wall between the secular and the sacred. Islam is a religion/cult, a culture and more.

Predicting the future is a tricky thing. Some of the Muzloids will be departing due to being here illegally. Some will commit crimes and be deported. Others will find out that when the welfare and Learing center money runs out, that their marginal competency for holding a janitorial position doesn't give them the standard of living they desire. And a lot hinges on 2028.

The card that Trump and Co are holding close to the chest is how much Qatar and Muzloid Muslim Brotherhood groups like CAIR, etc. have been doing illegal shit behind the scenes like buying influencers without undertaking the FARA limits and buying colleges.

I think the tide is running out in Diversity INC and that includes patience for foreign invaders of all sorts. The only question is whether it will be peaceable or violent.

81 9/11 had many victims that weren't in the towers:

Something that no one talks about: The 9/11 attacks destroyed public education in this country. Public education died 25 years ago.

Bush’s presidency before 9/11 was focused heavily on domestic policy, especially education. After 9/11, national security consumed the administration...9/11 helped create the bipartisan environment that passed NCLB, but the War on Terror eventually diverted enormous attention and resources away from domestic education policy.

NCLB put the onus of student achievement on the teacher. The tenet was that if teachers tailored the lesson well enough, all students could learn equally. It just doesn’t work like that. False premise, false promise.

Yes, but have you considered the effect on army recruitment if everyone was educated to a high standard and taught critical thinking skills and objective reasoning?

I would go a step further back than that and say Vietnam destroyed this country and education in this country Vietnam is where we started to become hyperpolarized hyper paranoid and then when 9/11 happened it kind of reactivate it all of that or accelerated it exponentially

95 > Try putting gold against dollars for the last 30 years. Stash in the mattress. It's an alternative currency, or currency speculation, not an investment.

Here's my problem with gold as an investment or even as a doomsday hedge. If you buy "gold" stocks, you're leaving money on the table. $10K in gold in 1996 leaves you with ~$115K today. S&P 500 has you closer to $211K with dividends reinvested.

If you're looking for a doomsday hedge, paper stocks are worthless. You have to have physical gold.

The problem with physical gold is cashing out. In a non-doomsday scenario, you have to deal with coin shops who aren't going to give you spot prices. You're getting significantly worse. In a doomsday scenario, who knows if gold is valued? Probably? I'd be willing to bet liquor and bullets would have better liquidity.

If you make it to the other side of doomsday and society recovers the gold will be valuable again. I think that's the best case scenario for gold. It's value-dense and easier to transport unless you have a lot of it.

See now, that really pisses me off. There was no Muslim ban. It never happened. Over 90% of Muslims worldwide were unaffected, because they don't live in the countries named.

So, Liberals, if Hakeem Jefferies tells you tomorrow he has passed an assault weapons ban. But, what passed exempts more than 90% of whatever qualifies as an assault rifle.

Then, clearly, Hypothetical Hakeem didn't ban assault weapons, and Trump didn't ban Muslims. It never happened.

I went to the in-laws. They were making chicken and I wanted burgers. I brought a ten pack of patties, cheese, and buns because I'm considerate. My wife didn't approve of the cheese I bought, so I bought another kind of cheese.

When it came time to make the burgers, I polled the crowd to see how many patties I needed to cook. I made exactly that number. Then when I told the crowd the burgers were ready, suddenly more people wanted burgers. I had to turn away some people and felt like a dick. I did let them know there were more patties, but they'd have to cook their own.

I know I could have cooked all the patties, but I didn't sign up for that. I just wanted my own burger. I feel like I went above and beyond by bringing and making extra.

I wish all muslims had self-deported due to this "fear." Pity they did not fear more than their imagination. Do I still side eye head coverings and tents on their women? Indeed I do. I am watchful in the very rare event I see one in an airport.

The unity our country felt with the leadership of GWB after 9/11 fizzled with the six words that "islam is a religion of peace." I wonder who told the nitwit to say that?

I remember being outraged when he said this, giving "them" an out.

The number of anti-mass deportation immigration judges fired has RISEN to 137 under President Trump — while 349 replacement judges have been hired to FAST-TRACK the removal of illegal aliens

This is a HUGE development for clearing any backlogs and SENDING THEM ALL BACK, ONE BY ONE

Immigration judges have been known problems in the removal system and they are NOT in the judicial branch — existing under DOJ

That means they can be FIRED and REPLACED en masse

Get on board with Trump's mass deportations, or GET FIRE

Posted by: redridinghood at September 08, 2026 03:01 PM (NpAcC)

======

Mega-master hearings where asylum claims are rejected by the dozen at a time combined with the removals of protected statuses has greatly increased the well of easy pickings for ICE and aligned police forces under 287g agreements.

Also, Treasury added a bunch of regulations and guidance about how banks are to treat people not here legally (as well as legally, but temporarily), effectively cutting many immigrants off from the financial system.

Also, OBBB ended a lot of welfare eligibility (takes effect Oct 1).

They can get out, or they can get out.

So if you live in a blue state and/or some blue cities in the US, sucks to be you because your governments are trying to keep illegals here. If you live in a lot of redstates, they aren't.

The enforcement is uneven because of the 287g agreement thing.

Texas has a bunch and local cops do most of the leg work. It's illegal according to state law for police to enter 287g agreements in Washington, Oregon, and California, as contrast.

Still, if cop meets guy, suspects illegal presence, he just checks, finds him illegal, and books him (impounding everything he has and putting it up for auction), waiting for ICE to come along and pick him up and deport him.

NC's legislature passed a law recently mandating that all local cops enter 287g agreements.

Apparently rents are showing this.

Rents in places where local cops have 287g agreements are down something like 6%. Rents in places where cops don't have 287g agreements are up something like 4%.

There's definitely some self-sorting within the country going on, but if they're going to CA which allows illegals to enroll in CalAid, it's just going to make their budget issues that much worse that much faster.

And, as new ICE personnel ramp up from the OBBB hiring started at the beginning of the year, ICE will have more resources to look at blue states since red states are doing the ground work.

I think these are exactly the right questions. It's the answers you come up with that show your soul.

If you say, "They will claim they did it for Islam, but that's wrong. They shouldn't claim this because Islam shouldn't be pushing this stuff", then there's hope for your particular group of Muslims.

If you say, "It will all be lies because we never do that kind of stuff! It's always lies about Muslim terrorists!" then you're part of the problem. Either because you're an idiot who believes the taqqiya or because you spread the taqqiya.

Check out the demographics for Compton. In 1980, it was about 75% Black, 20% Hispanic, the remainder were White and Asian. 40 years later, it's now about 75% Hispanic, 25% Black, with virtually no Whites or Asians.

Why? Illegal alien Hispanics moving there was part of it, but in the early 2000s, there was a nasty underground racial war being fought in Compton by Black and Hispanic gangs that the Black population lost. They didn't just lose, they got their asses kicked. Ethnic cleansing in the US with not a single White face being involved.

Yeah, I think both sides tend to miss the mark on this one. Some people say nobody has any idea. Others say they know the exact date.

I believe the better interpretation is yes, we don't know the date or the hour, but we can watch the signs and know the season.

See also the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. They both knew the approximate time of the bridegroom's arrival. One group was prepared and the other was not. But neither knew the exact time of arrival.

Different aspects. Remember that at the time Jesus said that, he was human and of the flesh. He had to be so he could die.

Using your argument, how could God die then and still be part of the triune. Neither the Holy Spirit nor the Lord can 'die' so how could Jesus if he was part of the triune.

If you assume different aspects of the triuine, then neither Jesus in the flesh who did not claim omniscience at that time nor his dying present a problem.

Insanity: Female Jurors Were Crazed With Anger as Judge Ruled Lindsay Clancy Trial a Mistrial
Update: Lawyer Wants Trump to Pardon> the Child Killer

Update: The evil defense attorney wants Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy... for the state crimes of murdering her children.

Townhall.com
@townhallcom

Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington making an appeal to Trump: "Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider, this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon."

Does that mean he's stupid? No, just evil. He knows Trump can't pardon his psychopath child-killer client. He's just trying to expand Lindsay Clancy's Cult of Murder so that the prosecutors feel pressured to drop the case or give her a sweetheart deal.

I missed this on Friday. Maybe you did too.

After the judge said he might declare a mistrial, he suspended the trial so that the insane defense attorney could appeal his ruling to not exclude one juror for being sane to the Massachusetts Supreme Court.

But that appeal was denied -- thank goodness -- and then he declared a mistrial.

Which the Pink Ladies on the jury -- ChristyBinky tells me that several of the women were wearing pink on the jury, which is the color Lindsay Clancy's supporters outside the courtroom were wearing -- were enraged by.

How the hell were they ever allowed on the jury, or allowed to remain on the jury?

This was the emergency appeal -- a claim that the lone male holdout was "biased" against the "disabled" because he wouldn't allow a triple-child-murderess walk free:

Jonathan Turley writes that the unethical defense lawyer put a target on the lone male holdout's back.

"I hope that guy can sleep well at night."

Those words from Kevin Reddington on the steps of the Plymouth, Massachusetts Courthouse were part of a diatribe against the "guy" who was reportedly the sole holdout in the Lindsay Clancy trial. The scene was a fitting end to a visceral trial, but it added a vindictive element that should prompt Judge William Sullivan to call out the seasoned defense attorney.

After declaring that the 11-1 mistrial was "no time to gloat," Reddington bragged repeatedly about "crushing" District Attorney Tim Cruz, whom he also attacked. He insisted that, in the trial, no one said a single negative thing about his client as a mother -- ignoring that little matter of the three young children whom she had strangled to death, one by one.

But it was his attack on the holdout juror that was a breathtaking abandonment of restraint and decency. Reddington knows it is very likely that the name of this juror (he has already been identified as one of only three males on the jury) will eventually be uncovered by Internet sleuths. He effectively put a target on the back of a juror who committed the unpardonable sin of not being convinced by his arguments.

The fact that this is one of the three male jurors only ramped up the rage. This case prompted a striking gender divide between men and women, with many women expressing sympathy for Clancy and anger at the system for failing her.

For Reddington and many viewers, the hung jury was less "Twelve Angry Men" and more like "One Angry Man." Indeed, in addition to attacking the juror, women outside of the courthouse heckled Cruz as he tried to speak to the press, shouting that he "only cares about the three children. What about the Mom?"

His appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Court accused the lone male holdout of harboring a "bias" against mentally ill child-murderers.


Earlier in the day, Reddington had asked a Massachusetts Supreme Court justice for an emergency order to force Sullivan not to declare a mistrial, and instead to remove the holdout in favor of an alternate. It was an utterly meritless effort, but Reddington used the filing to further denounce the juror. He compared the juror's refusal to vote for his client as akin to leaving a racist on a jury. In this case, he suggested that the "guy" was a virtual anti-disability version of "Bull" Connor or some deranged "ableist."

Now he says he didn't intend to get this guy murdered, and in fact would defend his right to hold out.

Based on this, I think I can see what happened in the jury room: At least two of the female jurors were essentially crazed fans of the child-murderer. They probably harrangued the hold-outs (it is speculated that there had been more jurors for conviction, but they buckled and gave in to crazed peer pressure).

I can imagine these two harpies coming at this guy with full Social Justice Warrior spittle-spraying fury, and they guy trying to calm them down, saying something like "I can understand why you have doubts," and then them seizing, autistically, on that one "admission," and pestering the judge telling him "this (spit) man admitted there is room for doubt but he won't vote with us to acquit!"

29 Ace, I posted this earlier. You need yo look into it.
Most are getting 1 year including time served pre-trial.

Infanticide: Section 233 of the Criminal Codestates that a female commits infanticide if she causes the death of her newborn child by a wilful act or omission when her mind is disturbed as a result of the effects of giving birth. It is a law that is specific to women. It was added in 1948 because juries were refusing to convict mothers of murdering their own children and comes with less harsh sentencing. The penalty for infanticide is a maximum of five years imprisonment. There is no minimum penalty.

Yes, the prosecution lost the case with their own witnesses in their main case presentation. None of their witnesses believed the defendent was anything but a great woman, mother, and member of society.

It's an unwinnable case for a prosecution now.

As they often say, bad cases make bad laws. Bad cases apparently also make bad public discourse. No one can really discuss any of the issues about this case without litmus testing everything. And almost no one has actually read the court case testimony in full (which makes the discussion worse), but we are ready and willing to demonize the jurors both ways.

Nah, that'd never happen. Including the lawyer now getting in on the Op to say "look Trump himself won't pardon her and she's nuts"...see how anti-women Rs are...

No, they won’t. I don’t think a lot of people, including you, realize the impact this has had on a lot of younger guys. Liberal women were already earning the label of being nuttier than squirrel shit. They have shit on a generation or two of men in every way they could. They’ve even shut men out of jobs once they consolidated corporate power. Younger men, at least many I know had enough of this shit and the feminization of everything. They used power like a weapon to destroy men, and now they’ve advance from baby murder to actual child murder.

I guarantee you a lot of men will never look at this generation of college educated liberal women, even any woman, the same way after this.

Almost exactly my thought. You are free to change your mind in deliberations. Per "12 Angry Men," saying at the outset that you have NO reasonable doubt is a position that can change. The opposite must therefore be true.

To be fair, I don't think that was the only claim. Even the Tweet you follow with says the appeal which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being “biased” against those with “debilitating mental illness”, suggesting it was one of multiple basis for the request. My understanding was the other jurors complained to the judge that the holdout wasn't following the law/jury instructions. He said he had doubt, but wouldn't vote for acquittal. The obvious response (that the judge didn't mention) is that you're allowed to have doubt and still vote to convict...the question is whether the doubt rises to the level of REASONABLE doubt, which the jury note didn't specify, and only the individual juror can assess.

________

There is often no rhyme or reason as to why any event blows up into a huge story. As I said above, about 500 kids are murdered by their parents every year. So it's not a unique event.

But I think what propelled the Clancy murders into the forefront of news was:

1. Reasonably attractive, middle-class white family. Had Shaniqua in the ghetto or Bobbi Jo in the trailer park done the same thing, we most likely wouldn't have heard about it.

2. The case was relentlessly pushed on social media, on both sides of the case. It was like a cottage industry all by itself.

3. Related to #2, the biggest story about the trial became not the trial itself, but people's reactions to the trial, and what it said about them.

According to Biancolirio, the thrust reversers on a 767 don’t work unless the wheels are firmly on the ground. Like they won’t even deploy.

169 The obvious response (that the judge didn't mention) is that you're allowed to have doubt and still vote to convict...the question is whether the doubt rises to the level of REASONABLE doubt, which the jury note didn't specify, and only the individual juror can assess.

But no one thinks of himself as unreasonable. So if a juror has doubt, he at least must thinks it's reasonable even if the other jurors don't. And the whole role of the jury is to be a proxy for the hypothetical "reasonable person" the law supposes exists but doesn't define.

176 r/AskFeminists

Why is the Lindsay Clancy case getting so much attention when males killing their whole family happens daily?

they're so much more surprising and rare so people are fascinated (and men apparently like to use them as examples to scapegoat our entire gender). It's one of the ways it sucks to be a woman.

Court TV promoted the Clancy trial last year as one to watch.
We have to start looking harder at how media entities are making these choices.

Great point. Members of the media are a privileged class that have more power than us normies.

With all the discussion about women’s right to vote lately…. The misogynists are lapping it up

Because it triggered a huge debate between people who understand psychosis and people who have no idea what they’re talking about but feel very strongly about it.

Probably the Tiktok influence. Funny part is people and especially men making fun of those women on Tiktok for following the opinion of the majority while doing the same and getting on a hate bandwagon against Lindsay. Then people turning it into men vs women.

Two minutes prior to their discussion of algebra, Tucker Carlson and Jess Elofson discuss Rumpelstiltskin.

Elofson never specifies the allegory, but you can probably infer from his later denunciation of Americans as "good little goy slaves."

218 Lindsaystans. I don't know who came up with that branding, but I love it. In fandoms, a 'Stan' is... here, I will leave the explanation to Brave AI, which told me things I didn't know when I went to pre-verify my understanding:

"In fandom culture, a stan is an extremely devoted, enthusiastic, or obsessive fan of a celebrity, artist, or public figure. While the term originated from Eminem’s 2000 song about a dangerously obsessed follower, modern usage has evolved to describe superfans who actively support, defend, and engage with their idol’s work, often blurring the line between intense admiration and unhealthy obsession.

"The term functions as both a noun (e.g., "I am a Taylor Swift stan") and a verb (e.g., "I stan this artist"), indicating a level of dedication that goes beyond casual fandom. Key characteristics include emotional investment, active participation in online communities (such as Stan Twitter), and a willingness to vigorously defend the idol against criticism. Although originally pejorative, it is now frequently worn as a badge of honor within fan communities to signify passionate loyalty and deep knowledge of the artist’s career."

234 That HollyMathNerd substack is worth a read.

Postpartum psychosis is very rare and typically shows up in the first three months. Her youngest was eight months. That's why they thought she might be bipolar, which would explain it, even though there was no diagnosis of that. The only voices she heard started when she statted killing the kids and ended when she was done. A shrink at the trial said it doesn't work like that. She called her husband back, either during or right after she killed the kids, and had a conversation with him. There are a lot of legitimate questions here.

It's a big deal because she was affluent,like her supporters. If she gets off, they might too.

241 She murdered her children one at a time, taking each one down to the basement as they were crying. She murdered them by strangling them with her exercise bands. Testimony indicated the murders were so violent the children’s eyes were bulging out. She even paused to take a call from her husband.

As an expert opinion, it wouldn't be. But the basis of his lawsuit are allegations that the doctors fucked up and that led to his wife killing his kids.

Him testifying at her trial that it wasn't her fault is consistent with those allegations. It would be harder to prove those allegations if he's on record saying he thought she was fine.

I said that is not true, that there is plenty of help for those who are penitent and want to change. (Why are we considering nothing but straight justice?! Nooo, we have to weigh how the car jacker was going to manage prison life.) When it came time to sentence him, a court assistant provided additional evidence that the guilty had committed prior car jackings. But before we could read it, the crazed liberal woman snatched the pages from the assistant and said that it would not be considered. We got the paper back and each voted on 5 years, I lobbied for 7. He got 5.

That quick divorce to get away from Lindsay and her lifelong maintenance plus his hefty individual lawsuit - cutting her out of receiving so much as a penny (and she has her own individual lawsuit going) - gave him an optimistic outlook for the future, perhaps.

I went to the in-laws. They were making chicken and I wanted burgers. I brought a ten pack of patties, cheese, and buns because I'm considerate. My wife didn't approve of the cheese I bought, so I bought another kind of cheese.

When it came time to make the burgers, I polled the crowd to see how many patties I needed to cook. I made exactly that number. Then when I told the crowd the burgers were ready, suddenly more people wanted burgers. I had to turn away some people and felt like a dick. I did let them know there were more patties, but they'd have to cook their own.

I know I could have cooked all the patties, but I didn't sign up for that. I just wanted my own burger. I feel like I went above and beyond by bringing and making extra.

==========
Usually retrials work to the defendant's advantage due to seeing the complete prosecution case. This one was a bit weird as Clancy used an affirmative defense that she was mentally ill at the time. And apparently it damn near worked.

So a retrial where she gets scrutinized by the prosecution in every little detail may go worse for her with a new jury. I also expect some pointed prosecution questions for prospective jurors that exclude those that are fascinated by real crime and/or idiotic feminist takes on child murder.

The prosecution also knows all of Reddington's tricks this time and are likely to counteract them.

It appears very much that she made it up ex post facto as part of the legal defense of PPP and "the system failed me," not as a legitimate diagnosis. Not that I think that should make a difference in the outcome but it shows how disingenuous it is.

If there is a retrial I hope the jury is half women/half men (no transgenders) and sequestered. With her army of supporters shrieking two blocks away. SICK

Germany's Incompetent Chancellor Merz "Shocked" by AfD Winning Nearly an Outright Majority in Regional Elections in Saxony

I'm shocked that he's shocked.

Note that while Alternativ fur Deutschland won a near majority, the usual European "firewall" f*ckery will now ensue in which the Greens, communists, "center" left socialists, and moderate "right" parties will form an ungodly Frankenstein coalition to block AfD from governing Saxony-Anhalt.

AfD is only three seats away from an outright majority in Saxony-Anhalt, but right now, that three seats is enough to keep them out of power.

Or is it? A far-left party that supports both Russia and sealing the borders says it might join the AfD, and that small party's five seats would be enough for a majority.

Meanwhile, the moderate "right" party continues to unmask and shows that they'll align with the Greens, socialists, and communists rather than do the one thing the public is screaming for them to do, seal the f***ing borders already.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz doubled down Monday on pushing through unpopular reforms to Europe's largest economy after a far-right party surged to a landslide victory in a regional election, with a very good chance of forming the first far-right state government since the Nazi era.

Merz said his center-right Christian Democratic Union was "deeply shocked" by what he called "the most serious election defeat that the CDU has had for years, for decades." But he indicated that he's determined to stay at the helm and said that "giving up is not an option for me."

The anti-migration and Russia-friendly Alternative for Germany, or AfD, fell just short of a majority in Sunday's vote in Saxony-Anhalt, a small eastern state that gained outsized prominence as AfD eyed power there. Its regional branch is one of several considered a proven right-wing extremist group by Germany's domestic intelligence agency.

LOL. It's led by a lesbian who's married to a Sri Lankan.


AfD's victory is a major distraction for Germany and Merz at a time when Europe faces several challenges, including Russia's continued aggression against Ukraine, a suspected sabotage campaign targeting NATO countries, and difficult dealings with U.S. President Donald Trump.

It's a "distraction" from the Uniparty doing what the Uniparty wants to do against the wishes of the public.

Gee, sorry to "distract" you, Uniparty.


Merz said he wanted to assure Germany's allies that "our institutions are resilient and stable" and the country will stick to its values and constitution after the AfD win. "We know that Germany carries special responsibility because of its history," he said.

By refusing to even budge on unlimited mass migration, you are the ones guaranteeing that a truly "far right" party will eventually sweep into power.


Because of Germany's Nazi past, far-right movements have always come under strong scrutiny. Other major parties have refused to cooperate with AfD in a so-called "firewall." Unlike many countries in Europe, modern Germany hasn't yet had a far-right or right-wing populist party leading a national, state or major-city government.

Determination to continue reforms 'unbroken'

Merz vowed to weaken AfD before he came to power last year, but instead has seen the party's support increase.

The governing coalition of his Union bloc and the center-left Social Democrats has developed a reputation for squabbling and become deeply unpopular, as has Merz himself. The government has struggled to persuade voters that it can get the country's chronically sluggish economy moving, through potentially painful reforms, including to the pension system.

So far, this article has acknowledge the economy, unpopular "reforms," and Ukraine, but has completely suppressed the issue actually driving the election, unlimited mass migration.

...

Germany faces another two regional elections on Sept. 20 -- in Berlin and in another eastern state, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where AfD is also strong.

...

AfD is three seats short of a majority. It could reach out to the hard-left BSW party, which won five seats. The two parties share a Russia-friendly course and oppose immigration but disagree on some other issues.

BSW has criticized the "firewall" against AfD and signaled again Monday that it could allow Siegmund to become governor by abstaining in a potential third round of voting for a new governor in the state legislature, in which a simple majority would suffice.

Record support for the "extreme far right" AfD. Did you know that 44% of Germany's voters are extreme far right? Must be true, all the media says so.

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a record 44% in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, leaving a small party with seats that could determine whether it can lead the nation's first far-right state government since World War II.

Why it matters: Germany rebuilt its democracy after Nazi rule with unusually strong safeguards against extremism. AfD's breakthrough shows those barriers aren't stopping Europe's far right from becoming dominant electoral forces.

The latest: AfD more than doubled its 20.8% share in 2021, hitting its highest vote share ever in a state election and finishing ahead of the center-right CDU at 17%.

BSW, the party that hasn't ruled out working with the AfD, barely cleared the 5% threshold parties need for parliamentary representation.
Together, AfD and BSW would hold 43 seats, one more than a majority.
BSW, a populist party, combines far-left economics with far-right migration policies and calls for closer ties to Russia.


Send them home, is AfD's motto.

In an interview on German broadcaster ZDF, the AfD's national co-chair, Alice Weidel, advocated for closing Germany's borders and exiting Europe's Schengen treaty, saying, "Illegal migration, unchecked open borders, anyone can get in. Our internal security is suffering. People are honestly fed up with this situation."

Weidel added, "All Syrian refugees must have their protected status revoked because the reason for their flight no longer exists. These people must return to their homeland. If they don't leave voluntarily, then they must be deported by force."

Adding that many of the 1.3 million Syrians in Germany are being naturalized, "we must stop naturalizing these people who should actually be leaving our country. We have Islamization."

#Based.

In May 2025, Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) classified the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" group, citing "anti-migrant positions and an ancestry-based definition of German identity." This past February, according to Deutsche Welle, that classification was put on hold by a German court after "Judges found that while there was evidence of potentially unconstitutional statements and policies within the AfD... it said that there was not sufficient evidence to characterize the party as a whole as extremist."

In other words, they're "far right" because they reject the idea that Germany should be made up primarily of Afghans, Syrians, Egyptians, and Nigerians. That's an "ethnically-based" idea of German identity, you see.


AfD attracted 42% of young voters and 40% of female voters of all ages, who are usually soft-headed and, how do I put this, dumb.

I cannot find a cite for this so take it with a grain of salt until confirmed.

31 I’m kinda surprised at AfD’s affinity for the Russians. You could arguably make the case that Russia colluded with CDU to commence the entire invasion under Merkel. Mass migration was meant to do exactly as it is doing, weaken the ethnic German state. That benefits a lot of globalists, but a weak Germany also benefits the Russians. The Russians have been caught more than a few times running shadow campaigns and proxy ops that push and assist mass migration. They’re actually still doing it in the Baltics and in Poland.

2) The other parties are supposed to look at this and perhaps adopt some small things from the core issues and moderate them in their own way.

3) what we are seeing is a complete rejection of the will of the voters because the ONLY thing the parties can agree on is the ONE thing the voters do not want- immigration.

93 This is the big flaw in parliamentary systems -- they tend to move power toward a vague middle ground controlled by the elites. It is a consensus form of gov. the removes personality and individuals, preferring committees.

In the US system, there are two parties who have to stand for things. And they ultimately produce candidates who have to stand for things. That distinction follows through from the campaign to the decisions they make. In a parliamentary system small parties break out with very clear goal, but then they join in as a coalition where those very strong goal are completely ignored. It is like a safety valve to allow them to campaign on real issues and then stick the platform in a drawer to be ignored until next campaign.

Never mind that July saw actual deflation (-0.3%) in grocery prices and rents are decreasing (unevenly, a whole lot more where 287g agreements are in place).

To be fair, Democrats have largely erased Joe Biden's presidency from their minds. He was never president.

When they reminisce about the good old days, they don't talk about Biden. They talk about Obama.

So, thinking Trump has been president uninterrupted from 2016 to now does make some sense in that context.

National socialism comes from Mussolini. He was a run of the mill socialist who then differed as to whether you could support your own country in WWI.

Prior to that the socialists argued that countries were bad and they needed world wide socialism (world wide here meaning the US, Anglosphere and Europe, not the 3rd world)

So Mussolini and later others like Hitler implemented socialism in their own countries. And the funny thing is all socialist systems end up doing this: Mao, Stalin or Pot etc

Because text book communism is impossible and something like the German Nat Socialist system isn't.

Posted by: Smell the Glove at September 08, 2026 01:10 PM (v6vok)


Fascism is the development of the idea that if workers, bankers and those that own the means of production work together they can do greater things. In such the production of all industries are set up as cartels between money, labor and capital. This recreates the medieval guild structure.
Since all tend to cheat on each other, the government is brought in to mediate, and winds up being the main partner, and the main customer where it is not the main path that good get to market. In that path the government then dominates all industries.

Posted by: Deceesed Foosball Coach Schnellenberger at September 08, 2026 01:38 PM (r/N61)

278 The reasons the AfD is very bad news are several.

The most pressing one is the continued presence of Björn Höcke and his adherents. This guy openly admits to just that slightly bit misquoting banned NSDAP, SA and SS slogans for the purpose of trying force a free speech fight.

Björn Höcke however is merely the most visible sympton of a larger illness. And thankfully I can put it in terms easily understood for an american political audience:
You know how the Democrats in the US are being eaten from inside by the DSA? Björn Höcke is the most visible face of that, but from the actual far right direction.
The AfD started as a primarily euro-sceptic party and it was that platform that saw her first modest successes.
Then something happened that is almost automatic in german politics: It got flooded by new members. Being largely prior apolitical college professors at that time the then AfD leadership made a crucial mistake. It didn't know to vet the members.
This is a mistake in german politics because successful new parties attract parasites: Actualy far right members of micro parties that know they unelectable because there are too many damning quotes by their own leadership 1/??

Posted by: DoesNotMatter at September 08, 2026 03:03 PM (xlDu7)

279 out. We're talking "There was no holocaust" and such.
So those elements got in and normally a party dies there. The parasites can't help themselves, open their mouths, ordinary members flee in droves.
This also almost happened - most of the founding members left after losing internal power struggles. The difference here is two fold: One, disillusioned CDU and SPD members also joined the AfD and that tilted the balance enough that the parasites feel restrained. Two, it was about 2015 and the refugee crisis and the political handling of it really tilted parts of the electorate.
So the AfD could cling on until 2020 and, well, you know.

So that is reason 1 why the AfD ain't good news, it harbors some actual far right assholes.

Reason 2 is that there is unfortunate connections to the East. While most german politicians are deeply sceptical these days of russian claims, doing business in Russia etc. the AfD is a notable exception.

Reason 3 is that some of political promises the AfD are genuine violations of the german constitution. Stripping someones german citizenship by the state is banned at the constitutional level, in direct consequence from 1933-1945 abuses of that.
2/?

Posted by: DoesNotMatter at September 08, 2026 03:18 PM (xlDu7)

280 So the various noises the AfD makes how they want to solve some immigration related issues are almost always unconstitutional.

Personally however I see no chance of a non-AfD state government going the distance there.
Any coalition that has to rely on Die Grünen, Die Linke and BSW not flipping over the table over in retrospect trivial shit is doomed.
So there is probably a AfD state government there either now or in a few months after the next election. And it'll probably be Tim Walz or Gavin Newsom levels of fucked.
Because at the end of the day the AfD has very little actual proven to be able to govern candidates or business men willing to put their neck out to assemble a government out of.
Not being able to use another party as coalition partner slash meatshield for failures is not going to end well for them. 3/3

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Transfer payments? MORE transfer payments? That is the last thing on earth the United States of America needs, and for the administration to suggest more welfare -- because that is what it is -- suggests that they are unserious about the deficit and the debt.

And for JD Vance to spearhead this wrongheaded policy just adds fuel to the fire that he isn't quite the principled conservative that he would like us to see.

Welfare is a corrosive influence on a culture, even if its intent is in furtherance of conservative ideals: the nuclear family with one parent at home raising children. It expands the deep state by giving government officials control over the decisions of citizens, and it will never end. It distorts the economy by shifting reliance to government, and it impedes the creation of wealth by short-circuiting capital formation and flow, tamping down entrepreneurialism, and is wildly wasteful because it funnels cash through government, which is famously inefficient.

Trump Administration Floats Subsidizing Parents To Raise Children At Home

Officials are drafting a rule that would let married couples with one stay-at-home spouse tap federal child care subsidies, a priority of Vice President JD Vance, the New York Times reported. The plan would carve out a new category the draft calls "parent-based child care," letting one married parent draw assistance to care for their child while the other works at least 35 hours a week, according to the Times.

Hey JD...cut welfare, support strong voting security, continue the administration's work enforcing a strong border and tossing illegals out. No matter what your experience with multigenerational poverty, government is not the answer, and 60 years of Johnson's Great Society has shown us that in most cases, government is the cause!

Shrinking government is the best way to solidify the family in America. Give Americans more of their own money, and the problem will mostly be solved. Getting rid of many millions of illegals who hoover up housing stock and medical care and distort the labor market will pretty much finish the job. If America has it in itself to return to a saner culture, that is the way to give it a chance. More welfare will do the opposite.

And as long as I am giving Vance some advice...deal with your Tucker Carlson problem, or you are going to lose conservative support. The fact that you have not forcefully rejected Carlson's lunacy, which include attacks on President Trump and his policies, suggests that you are trying to please everyone, including Carlson's army of Pakistani bots and America-hating leftists who gobble up Carlson's nonsense.

That's a dangerous path, and one that might not work the way you want.

2 I don't agree with it but I can see the possible long term benefits.

You open up jobs in the economy formerly held by working moms and you have a child raised by a parent instead of the streets.

That said, I grew up with two parents working full time blue collar jobs and I turned out somewhat normal. My father wouldn't have taken a subsidy anyway.

JD actually gave a good response when he was doing the morning press briefing and someone asked him about Tucker.

35 Transfer payments? MORE transfer payments? That is the last thing on earth the United States of America needs, and for the administration to suggest more welfare -- because that is what it is -- suggests that they are unserious about the deficit and the debt.

This is not more transfer payments.

This is redirecting transfer payments that were going out no matter what.

Only Congress can end this program. So...get to calling your legislators.

He's shrinking it to the max degree that he can alone. Slashing regulations and canning federal workers is great.

But more requires Congress passing laws that repeal existing laws that established programs et al.

It's the same argument over visas. Trump is minimizing them as much as possible, but he can't end then. Congress has to do that.

Hell, maybe if the GOP keeps the House next year, some repeals may get through with a Senate that no longer includes Mitch, Cassidy, Cornyn, or Ernst.

I really like that idea. I thought there was an asian country where you don't pay income tax if you have so many kids. Which is how it should be so welfare leaches don't benefit since they don't work.

I'd also like homeschooling families to be paid directly out of general education funds. Make the schools compete for the dollars. Maybe we'll see less than 69 genders.

61 Women working from home is not just a choice, it is something that became obligatory in the early 70's. I remember when mom went back to work. She hadn't intended to do so until I was older, but it made sense because money was tight. It was tight for everyone.

Oddly it is still tight, the quote I saw is that salaries are not really keeping up to costs unless you start switching out cheaper food and supplies for what we used to get, and that is all shitified so we get to buy more when it breaks.
I don't see this as a subsidization of families, as it is the first step to supporting parents to have a single working parent and a stay at home mom.

Ah, but if you're left in ignorance about his friendships... that's okay? Vance has said that he disagrees with Carlson about many things. Carlson isn't an advisor.

And it comes down to an effect I noticed a while ago: almost nobody is truly small government, they just want their opponents to not have the power of government. Too many social "conservatives" want government to be huge, just powerful in their favor. Too many fiscal "conservatives" are perfectly fine with massive spending on projects they support.

In the current CR, Congress pretty much insisted all money must be spent by the departments they sent it for...so when stuck with a problem of being forced to send money to one's friends or one's enemies, I know I'd prefer Trump to send it to friends b/c it's likely that Congress will be willing to rescind that money...

105 So many politicians are being cancelled for what they say, or not saying every thing demanded because of course failure to be perfect means they are not good at all. I remember when . . .

I remember John Cena being celebrated for saying the right things, until he didn't say all the right things while promoting his show in China He was cancelled, and that was celebrated because he was a coward who was being paid to promote a brand and WWE, and thought that was more important than being ideologically correct.

And now JD Vance, who was celebrated for his patriotism, his service, his family, his background, being Trump's VP, his faith and for saying the right things, and now, he won't say all the right things to satisfy you, so he is "untrustworthy" and "perhaps wrong for the job"

I hate that attack. "untrustworthy" is up there with "inappropriate". This is such a mind-op thing to say. It is really bitch move and and a female attack on character. It is so amorphous to be impossible to defend against.

It does have the benefit of turning all political discourse into a hostage video, or a maoist struggle session due to "political deviance" so that will be fun.

And no, this is NOT an entitlement but subject to whatever Congress appropriates for subsidies to daycare centers.

The elites already think they can run the country with AI and robots and don't need a working class anymore. Once they turn 70% of the population into liabilities, then the program will be to reduce those liabilities. One way or another.

There have been rumors around JD for a long time that he is a Manchurian candidate. May be 2nd to Trump, but that his REAL handlers, Palpatine style, are working from the shadows. That if he became POTUS, he would cave to them and be as feckless as any of the other turncoat RINOS.

Playing footsies with Tucker doesn't help quell those rumors for me. But I also remember Reagan's commandment not to speak ill of another Republican, and maybe that's where JD is coming from. But Tucker isn't a republican, JD! He's a shill willing to sell his soul. Huge difference.

JD says all the right things very eloquently, and he is the Democrat's wet dream of a candidate that they wish they had, and are trying to find in degenerate lobster farmers. (Raised in poverty and worked hard, married to a beautiful successful minority woman, picture perfect family.) Love him and Marco, but both of them have at times been RINO adjacent. Rubio was, before getting a spine in Trump's cabinet. Hope they are both the real deal.

Talk to your Congresscritter!

The federal leviathon has only grown for a century. Until the 80s, it was almost all by statute, and even statutory changes and additions kept going until about the middle of Obama's presidency (the ACA was the last major actual policy change passed by Congress, everything else has been arguments over levels of funding, though there were some policy changes in the OBBB, but that wasn't the overall point of it).

To undo it, requires a lot of...statutory language. From Congress.

You're also overlooking that the Executive Branch CAN'T stop spending this money. They can only shift it from lefty recipients to righty recipients. Which they're doing.

156 The money is required, by law, to be spent in roughly the manner that it's being spent.

Congress cannot tell the executive branch how to spend the money in a program, only that the program must exist and what it does. Its a separation of powers issue. That's why the president is slashing departments like the DOE, because the law created the department and gave it goals and guidelines, but cannot tell the executive exactly how to run it or how many employees etc.

Which is cultural suicide. You need to have as many kids as you possibly can manage, raise them outside state control, and teach them to do the same.

Imagine if every conservative in the 1980s had 5-8 kids each, home schooled them, and taught them to do the same? We'd lose some to the left, but the bulk would be more conservative. By now the population would be 5:1 right vs left.

Glenn Beck? He's a massive American History collection junkie. He's commented before that his wife has had concerns he'll spend all their money on buying up history. The plan is to one day build a massive museum for it all, I'm guessing in TX.

When the Tea Party thing was still kicking, he did a pop-up mini museum in SLC and I dragged my family to it. It was so cool. He had blocks of pressed tea original to the Boston Tea Party era, so you could see what the actual tea looked like that was thrown into the harbor. And the emancipated slave in chains iconic items that became popular for abolitionists to wear and put on pamphlets.

He bought up some documents coveted by libs, I think connected to Roe v Wade? Not to revere them, but to ensure they are not altered or destroyed by libs. Keep their vile history intact for the future to see.

I have a theory on that.

I think people don't believe Leftists when they say that kind of thing and worse, because they perceive Leftists as not having the stones to actually follow through.

People believe right-leaning types when they say things like that, because the perceive men of the right as the people who get things done.

Whether those perceptions are accurate are another matter entirely...

Take the vote away from unmarried women of all races, and you're 95% there. Take away the votes of non-working women gets you maybe 50% there.

229 I'm done bugging all of you. Last word on tariffs from X

Ian Lee, as Canada’s counter-tariffs hit: this isn’t a mood. It’s jobs.

~45,000 Canadian firms export to the U.S.; 30,000 export only there. $400B in sales, ~2 million jobs. “We are literally playing with fire.”

Sales collapse → “You lay off workers.” Ottawa can’t put them all on payroll

His fix: get back to the table. “I don’t accept the argument that we can’t negotiate.” Trump has done 19 deals since 2025. “Elbows up is an emotional response. That’s not a policy.”

Sovereignty demands? “That was a claim Canada made. I wasn’t in the room.” Greer denies it. Negotiate instead of walking away The real problem is older: “We should never have allowed ourselves to become so dependent. 71% of our exports go to the States.” Diversify later. Jobs first

I don't expect anyone to make a serious effort to repeal it, but out of all of the women in my circle of my close acquaintances, most had stated they'd nuke the 19th if you presented them a magical button to do so. The last couple of holdouts agreed agreed after this whole Clancy trial clusterfuck. This isn't men nagging them into it - I'm talking about unprompted declarations.

It is hard to overstate how furious these women are at feeling the need to take that position, but ... All of my people are escapees from blue shitholes, or have watched their institutions get razed by dangerhairs and cat ladies. And they've all watched these freaks try to go after their kids and flood our towns with criminals. They have a burning hatred for the AWFLs and the damage they've done.

I've researched that era so heavily, and the people advocating to repeal the 19th have no idea how badly women were treated as chattel before they got the vote. No idea. You were completely at the mercy of the men in your life, you had very little autonomy unless a man deigned to give it to you.

I think long term the AWFL problem can be fixed with sufficient -and extreme - social pressure. But the government and courts we have likely won't let us exert that pressure, at least not on this side of a massive seizure of violence that likely would not see many AWFL survivors anyways.

Well don't assume all women are willing to be "led". I think the divide is very real. Its a cultural thing. A lot of people have no use for model that made western civilization possible.
