The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. Being Pretti good isn't good enough.
3) Running with sharp objects? Sure you can. We just won't pray for you.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 11/15 – Sponge posted an update on the “First lady”. She is doing OK from the surgery pain-wise, however it appears her compromised immune system from chemo is susceptible to viruses. She has been spiking a fever all weekend.
12/13 Update – The First lady is doing well. She is still on restrictions but things are progressing nicely. The last mammogram showed clean. They are grateful to all who have been praying for her.
1/7 Update – They send thanks for the thoughts and prayers over the past year. The latest visit with her urologist revealed blood in her urine. The Doc didn’t seem concerned, but there will be more scans of her bladder and kidneys to see if they find anything more serious.
1/14 Update – Sponge sent an update on the First Lady’s father – he passed away on 1/11. They have been busy making arrangements for the arrangements, writing the obituary, eulogy, notifying people, etc. Thank you all for the thoughts an prayers that you have been providing for a long time. 12/20 – Morgan, longtime lurker, takes tango lessons from Sebastian, whose son, Matias, is recovering from brain surgery. The MRI was read on 12/19, and the surgeons did not remove the entire tumor. Even though the biopsy indicated the tumor was benign, the boy is probably facing several rounds of chemo. Please pray for the boy’s continued recovery in El Salvador.
1/10 Update – Matias will have surgery in 2 weeks to try and remove the rest of the tumor, and then he will receive radiation therapy. 12/27 – buzzion asked for prayers for a friend named Christina. Christina has struggled with a lot, including addiction and relapse. Buzzion has not heard from Christina in a while and hopes she is okay. Please pray that Christina finds her way and knows that people love and care for her and believe in her.
1/3 Update – Christina was arrested on 1/3. Please pray for this to be a final wake-up call for her.
1/22 Update – Christina was released from jail and is staying with Buzzion. She is working through the legal troubles and she is continuing her recovery. She really appreciates the prayers, as does Buzzion. 12/27 – BlackOrchid requested prayers for a Navy Veteran uncle who has been struggling with his health the last few weeks. The root cause is undetermined, but recurrent infection/sepsis keeps sending him back to the hospital. It seems to be worsening his dementia, which makes it harder for BlackOrchid’s aunt to handle him.
1/3 Update – BlackOrchid’s uncle (her “stand-in dad”is still not doing well. He will probably need to be put in a LTC facility although they are doing everything possible to avoid this. He is 86, and at the stage where his immune system can’t fight back well.
1/24 Update – BlackOrchid’s uncle is doing much better. He is carting around an O2 canister to help him, but otherwise is doing well. 1/3 – Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for the repose of the soul of a boss, who passed away suddenly early Sunday morning. Prayers are appreciated for strength, faith, and understanding for the boss’ wife and all who loved him. 1/6 – Diogenes requested prayers for his best friend since college, who was diagnosed with cancer. Within hours or hearing this, the friend’s son, a man that Diogenes has known since he was a baby, collapsed from what appears to be a brain tumor. The prognosis isn’t hopeful. Please pray for both of these fine men.
1/23 Update – Diogenes’ best friend’s son Sean had emergency brain surgery. The labs are back and it’s not good news. He has stage 4 brain cancer. They were scheduled to meet with an oncologist on 1/26 to determine the best pathway ahead for the time he has remaining. This is just crushing news. Thanks to all the Horde for their prayers and support for this fine young man. 1/6 – Commissar of plenty and festive little hats sent prayers of thanks that it was not cancer, and asked for prayers for courage to even set a date to reverse the colostomy surgery. It was a lot to get over the first time! 1/7 - D sent an update on his wife Susan, and her battle with pancreatic cancer, as well as her recent infection. He sent his thanks to everyone for the prayers. They are helping and much appreciated. Susan’s infection finally has been healed, so she was able to resume chemo. It’s been really rough. 1/8 - Doof asked for prayers for his mother. She was hit hard by the flu. She couldn’t get out of bed the morning of 11/8 and was sent by ambulance to the hospital. She is alert and communicating but prayers are appreciated for her recovery. Prayers are also appreciated for Doof, as he absolutely despises hospitals.
1/23 Update – Mom was in the hospital for 5 nights and has been in a rehabilitation center since 1/13. Her recovery is slow but steady. Her breathing and mobility are still not back to normal. She is good spirits but wants to be home. They very much appreciate the continued prayers. 1/10 – LA Sue asked for prayers for her brother, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September. They just learned it moved from stage 2 to stage 4. The chemo treatments and side infections from surgery have so debilitated him that he is considering stopping. Please pray for strength and that he opens his heart to God.
1/18 Update – LA Sue is taking her brother to hospice. He is fading.
1/23 Update – LA Sue’s brother passed away. 1/15 – Sharkman posted on behalf of Niederemeyer’s Dead Horse that NDH was given a prognosis of 6 months to live due to heart failure. The plan is for NDH to move into the Mayo Clinic to receive treatment and wait for a transplant. 1/17 – Emmie asked for prayers. She and her husband are on the verge of foreclosure. Their side hustle of delivery driving ended when a young driver crashed into their car and totaled it. They aren’t able to make the mortgage payments without that extra income. Their church is helping, but it’s a small church.
1/23 Update – They have a loaner/rental car that they can use until they can devise a long term solution, and have found an insurer who will cover delivery driving work. Another friend is supplying a financial cushion during the mortgage reset probationary agreement. But the underlying financial problems persist. They ask for prayers that they would conduct themselves with wisdom, discipline, diligence, prudence, and joy in God’s provision. Emmie specifically asked for prayers in her struggle with resentment and despair. 1/18 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update. She had surgery on 12/11, and a pump was installed that will direct medication into the hepatic artery. This will allow a much larger concentration of medication to be applied directly into her liver. This should give fewer side effects and (hopefully) shrink the tumors. It will take several months before they know if this new medication is working, but if it does, they are hoping for an extra 2-3 years before the disease progresses again. 1/19 – NR Pax requested prayers for his father, who had a stroke on 1/16. He went back to the hospital on 1/19 and was in the ICU until 1/23 due to influenza. He is in the hospital and they do not know when he will come home. 1/20 – Inogame asked for prayers. His wife and baby girl (due in February) are healthy, but some bad luck has come to their family. The business they purchased a year ago has taken an abrupt turn and they are trying to understand what is happening. They may not be able to keep their home if they cannot discover and correct the problem. This stress and what it might mean postpartum is worrying them. Thank you all for your prayers in the past. 1/20 – MkY sent an update on his wife Judy, who was diagnosed with Stage IV renal cancer last January. Despite being unable to receive her cancer drugs for 3 months while her port infection healed up, the tumors did not grow and she is feeling strong. Thanks so much for all the prayers! Last week, MkY was diagnosed with fluid on the brain. They operated the same day. They drilled two holes in his skull, inserted tubes, and had him lay flat on his back for 2 days. MkY thanks God for the modern miracles of medicine. He needs to heal quickly since he operates a small business. So far, no complications. 1/24 – NR Pax requested prayers for his father, who had a stroke on 1/16. He went back to the hospital on 1/19 and was in the ICU until 1/23 due to influenza. He is in the hospital and they do not know when he will come home. 1/24 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd posted some updates and requests. In the blessings department: blood glucose has continued to fall, well within normal range. BP is good. The hole where his molar used to be is coming along nicely. The youngest has jaw surgery coming up in February. This is many years in the making and should correct her bite and ease the pain in her jaw and ears. She’s not looking forward to the liquid diet, but is looking forward to the pain relief. Prayers are always appreciated, and based on what they have been through, he knows they are efficacious. 1/25 – Pawn at AoS asked for prayers after his dear friend Julia passed away. He asked for strength for himself and his family to fill a very large void in this world. He only has a couple of friends left so asks for protection for them. 1/27 – K asked for prayers for K’s neighbor Mike, whose doctor found a lump near Mike’s esophagus. Many thanks.

Just a one-time prayer request, if I may. Her Majesty and The Big Dummy are traveling to New York for Westminster on Monday.
The weather is cold, snow is likely over the weekend and she's driving an elderly car that needs to go in for servicing this morning in Virginia because of electrical issues.
Any spare thoughts you can throw their way would be appreciated. I've added appeals to St. Christopher during my daily Rosary.

The preceding verse adds a fuller list that rounds out verse 39. I love the poetry of those two verses taken together.
Romans 8:38-39 KJV
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

"You're just converting to stay out of hell!"
"And you have a problem with that?"
I'd argue that downplaying the reality of damnation has done immense damage to society. No less than the late George Cardinal Pell said so, and deeply regretted his flirtation with universal salvation. As for its sincerity, that's up to God to sort out, but Pascal's Wager is a valid reason, which is why he came up with it.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 31, 2026 08:24 AM (ZOv7s)
I am the exact opposite. Reason is what convinced me that there has to be something true at the root of Christianity, it couldn't be superstition or a hoax. The historical record was unimpeachable, which is why "Bible scholars" have to break the rules all the time to come up with reasons for doubt. It was only then that the spiritual side became apparent to me.

Illegal aliens is a legal term of art. It isn’t necessarily derogatory per se, it is a descriptor.
Immigrant has a defined meaning too - describing someone who has passed through a port of entry and has authorization to be in the country.

I had an interesting conversation with an older Catholic woman last evening. We had been chatting when she mentioned that one of her sons was an atheist.
I asked if he was a scientist or engineer. She replied that he was. I told her that he was mistakenly thinking that faith was an irrational belief: science can only deal in the material, but does not answer why we commonly recognize transcendental qualities: such as, how much does beauty weigh or what is the meaning of life.
I recommended that she give her son a book that was recently published (God, the Science, the Evidence by Michel-Yves Bollore and Olivier Bonnassies). The book presents scientific evidence so convincing that intellectually-honest atheists have had conversion experiences, and at least admit to the existence of some sort of creator God.

I understand this perfectly. I call myself a doubtful believer. I'm not sure I actually believe in God, or if it's habit from growing up in church. An omnipresent, omnipotent God seems irrational to me, but nothing else seems more rational, so I go with it.
I can point to many instances in my life when I was out of answers or options. But I pray, and always in the nick of time, I had answers and options.

A turning point for me was the realization that there is more and better evidence for Christ than there is for Julius Caesar. I totally nerded out on ancient history in high school and college, reading all the Greek and Latin authors (in translation, of course) I could find. I kept seeing the same thing: "We have this one partial copy of a single text that tells us all we know about this topic."
And then I came across "Bible scholars" nit-picking inconsequential errors from the many manuscripts separated by centuries and thousands of miles to find a way to cast doubt on the reliability of scripture.
I should add that I never wanted to be Catholic. Like many other converts, I was dragged kicking and screaming into it. Weird how that happens.

Without faith in God, there is despair. I'm an engineer and am in the school-of-thought with A.H. Lloyd. Reason and science all point to Aristotle's Unmoved Prime Mover.
Furthermore, the historical evidence that Jesus of Nazareth existed is irrefutable: multiple contemporary non-Christian documents mention Him, even if to disparage his divinity. The only legitimate dispute is was He the Son of God as He and His Apostles claimed, or a mad man or a liar.
Faith is not irrational. I would argue that atheism is irrational.

When they would bury the Hapsburg emperors, they would take the casket to the door of the cathedral and they would have the doors closed. The herald would knock and a voice inside would say: "Who is there?"
And the herald would reply with a bunch of his royal titles, and the response would be "I don't know him."
And then he would reply again with even more impressive titles, and the reply would be the same. Finally, the herald with just give his first name, and say "a sinner."
"You may enter."
Very cool.

"You're just converting to stay out of hell!"
It may be imperfect contrition, but it's still contrition.
I was lapsed for 30-plus years. I really wish I could say I returned to the Faith for the love of God, but it's not quite true. It was because I felt He was asking more of me than I was doing at that point. I try to persevere because He set standards that I owe it to Him to try to fulfill. But the love of God remains beyond me right now.
I pray frequently every day: on getting up, the Angelus at noon, the Rosary during the day and evening prayers before going to bed. I say the Litany of Loreto before Mass and a prayer to the Virgin Mary afterwards. They aren't empty exercises and I'm happy to do so because they set a frame for me and give Him what He deserves.
But to talk to Him personally has always been extremely difficult for me, as though He has better things to do than listen to the likes of me. I never feel fervor and I'm envious of those who do.
It makes me aware of just how damaging my time away from the Faith has been. But slowly, my conduct is improving and maybe someday I'll feel the love for Him that I should.

Jesus Christ instructed us to "judge not." That doesn't mean that we are not to condemn bad behavior, or not give good counsel. I don't waste any time questioning God's mercy or judgement.
Did Kennedy repent of his evil acts? Perhaps. Did he perform any acts of contrition or reparation? I'm doubtful. But, the fate of Ted Kennedy's immortal soul is between him and God.
When I pray for my enemies - as Jesus taught us to do - I pray that they soften their hearts, recognize the evil that they have committed, repent and do acts of contrition, and thus save their souls.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

What exactly that means I don’t know other than I know I believe. Everyone (even Mother Theresa… even Saint Peter!) has/had doubts

Brief primer for those who may not be familiar with it:"
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation or ECMO is a temporary means of augmenting cardiac and lung function during an interim where those functions are recovering from major dysfunction.
During any open heart surgery, the heart is stopped and blood is rerouted through a heart-lung bypass machine, whihc does exactly that, it bypasses the heart AND the lungs. Oxygen and CO2 are exchanged as the blood passes by a membrane, temperature and chemical balance are regulated.
ECMO is in essence a smaller version of a bypass machine that is portable enough to operate in an ICU room, and can provide up to several days of support while the heart is recovering from an injury or in the case of a transplant, the stress of being in an Igloo ice chest for a few hours.

That action belongs to G-d and him alone. Not even Jesus can do that.
"thou shall not judge" is just the first of many re-writings of the Bible to take hold.

I'm in the same boat you are in. Mrs. Cop has a much personal relationship with God than I do.
Now, my 16 year-old grandson (the one that converted to Catholicism), that kid is imbued with the Holy Spirit and he LOVES Eucharistic Adoration. We've had more than one person in our parish ask us if we think he will eventually become a priest.
I think what helped him is that he has been going to Mass with us since he was about 6, and I had self-taught myself the Catechism and articles of faith that I was not taught in the 1970s as a child myself, so I was able to give him good instruction during his formative years.

ECMO can be used in several scenarios including pst-transplant, post drowning, post complex congenital heart surgery and others.
It is not, however, a permanent or sustainable technique. Longest I've seen was about two weeks. Therefore it has to serve as a delaying measure, or as we refer to it a "bridge" to something else. It can be a bridge to recovery, a bridge to transplant, or sadly in some cases a bridge to nowhere.

During my reversion back to the Catholic Church, I had come across an old prayer book published in the 1950s. One of the prayers was along the lines of, "Jesus how can I serve you and the Church?" I $h!t you not, I heard a voice answer me!
I was alone in the house, and the answer was completely unexpected but has brought me to taking a much more active role in my parish.

"In my experience, there's no such thing as luck." A fun line delivered by Sir Alec Guinness who was a Catholic convert. He first gave it serious consideration when playing a priest and filming in France and a little boy, thinking he was a real priest, just walked up to him and talked to him while holding his hand. The level of trust amazed him.
He began dropping into churches, praying from time to time, and when his son became ill, he made a vow to convert while praying for his son, who was healed, and who also was raised in the Church.

Thanks for the kind words. I was a bit of a throwback and could not in good faith function in an Obamacare world. I retired from practice in 2019 and although I miss some aspects, have no regrets.
Just this past week I saw a local news story about a 9 year old boy doing a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish. Turns out he is a boy that was referred to me within hours of birth, with hypoplastic left hear syndrome. I vividly remember making the diagnosis and sitting down with the family to inform them of what would come. Three heart surgeries and later a transplant (after I retired) here he was. A nice memory.

They also grew up in a society where pouting and being a helpless victim was a path to power, and threats never had to be acted upon, because everyone always caved. So now they are in a situation where they are facing calm, determined, systematic resistance and all they can do is scream louder. That's their play.
Now there is some kinetic action, but it's very limited compared to the late 1960s, when whole cities burned. The violence now is performative, and its also inorganic, that is to say not staffed by true believers but by otherwise unemployable mentally ill mercenaries. (cont)

Yes, forsythia grows well in Texas, particularly in North Texas, Northeast Texas, East Texas, and Southeast Texas. It thrives best in areas east of I-35, especially where soils are moist, slightly acidic to neutral, and rich in organic matter.
Blooming Time: Forsythia blooms in late February to mid-March, often alongside early daffodils and red japonica, marking one of the first signs of spring in Texas.

All it takes is to open your heart to God. Let him in. He’s standing right beside you, as He always has and always will.
Even in your darkest moments, when you feel abandoned and think He’s turned away from you- He has not. He’s guiding you through those difficult moments- pray for understanding.
I’ve seen some terrible things. Things that made me wonder where He was in all that horror. Then at one point He told me, Marcus, I’m right here where I’ve always been. Open your heart and soul to me and realize I have never left your side. At that moment I looked back and realized He carried me through all of it. Every single moment. At first I felt ashamed, but that turned to indescribable joy.
God, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is an awesome God. There is nothing He cannot do. Pray to Him. Ask him to forgive you for your sins and come in to your life. You will find magnificent peace and fulfillment. You will find great comfort and joy in your soul. Praise God in Heaven.

This makes it laughably easy to roll up those networks, which is happening under the radar. Lots of people want to see results, but that takes time, not just to build the case, but to identify prosecutors who will purposefully tank what should have been slam-dunk prosecutions. Even so, the pinch is already being felt, and a lot of their troopers are being laid off, which also limits future contributions.
The left also knows that if it goes full kinetic, it will lose instantly. The training they are getting stresses this, and their hope is to make martyrs that sway the soccer moms. The problem is that soccer moms are the ones being raped, and they fear for the safety of themselves and their children. No one cares about gang members being deported. (cont)

The lethal incidents didn't pan out, and the relatively tiny forces in play have a low loss threshold. They thought this would be cost-free, and this changes the calculous completely.
Note also that local law enforcement is also locally led, so the police chiefs and sheriffs are under intense pressure to keep the streets safe and many will lose their jobs if they keep releasing rapists back onto the street. I live in a liberal college town, but they absolutely call the cops in a hot minute if they think there is a threat. If the local cops were letting rapists go, there would be hell to pay. (cont)

Another crazy thing is the tiny amount of forces engaged. Trump federalizing the Minnesota ARNG would quadruple his resources, hilariously overmatching the opposition. You can bet Walz knows that, which is why he talks out of both sides of his mouth. Trump knows it, too, which is why he leaves out there.
The upshot: this was not a brilliant strategy by the left, but a desperate spoiling attack. The fraud coming out is only going to get worse, and Walz had to move before he was indicted.

*******
Peter (2 Peter Ch. 1) instructs the early Church disciples in how to grow in their faith. It starts with an attitude of virtue/morality, then seeking knowledge/truth, applying self-restraint, diligence, then seeking godliness and eventually growing in brotherly love and agape love/charity.
It's a process. And there will be setbacks.

That does not refute my position. In dysfunctional cities, you get dysfunctional law enforcement.
Another piece that I should address is the scope of voter fraud. I think we will find that the margin of fraud may be 20% in some jurisdictions. The slow, methodical grind is going to expose that bit by bit, which is another reason for the paid riots which - to be very clear - end the minute local cops are allowed to shut it down.
There's a lot of bad-mouthing police here, and I will say that based on accounts I've seen, the inner city cops are either hopelessly corrupt, time-servers watching the calendar or rookies trying to build a resume until they can transfer out and at this late day, the skew is heavily toward the third group. Portland the Seattle famously are undermanned, and they are getting the least qualified applicants.

Agree completely! Emotionally we would love to see the insurrection act invoked, but rationally it isn’t needed. For all the uproar, there’s only a small number of people involved in creating disturbances in Minneapolis; maybe 2,000 max? A compliant and sensationalistic media amplifies them and works to make them appear to be far greater than they actually are. (And idiots trying to get themselves shot give the media everything they want)

Daily Tech News 31 January 2026
Top Story
- One third of video game workers have been laid off in the past two years. (Variety)
I'm a little surprised it's not higher, but the article points out that layoffs have hit major - so called "AAA" - Triple A - studios twice as hard as indies, so it is higher for the companies I'd focus on with news stories.The survey also found that 82% of US-based respondents support the unionization of game industry workers, with 5% opposed and 13% unsure.
And I was just about to feel some sympathy for these people.
- Ubisoft has cancelled six games and closed three of its studios in the wake of disastrous sales of its recent major titles. (BBC)
The studios on the chopping block include Ubisoft Halifax, which unionised earlier this month. (Games Industry)
That went about as well as could be expected.
Tech News
- The latest high-budget disaster is called Highguard. (Destructoid)
Produced by Wildlight Entertainment, which is a private company so we don't have details of the financials, but they've had over a hundred experienced developers working on this game for four years in California. So somewhere north of $100 million.
It's free-to-play. It reached nearly 100,000 players on its first day... Then lost 90% of them on its second day.
Not because it is particularly buggy. Players have shown problems with being disconnected from the servers, but for the most part it seems technically competent. The problem is that it is completely uninspired.
It got the top billing during the recent Game Awards (which had more viewers than the Super Bowl), with shameless promotion from the presenter. Everyone watching saw it as derivative slop and predicted it would fail, hard, and it was, and has.Highguard was in for a bloodbath, and I cannot believe that the devs didn't know that. With so much experience at AAA powerhouses like EA, I genuinely think they fully understood the implications of that TGA shenanigan, and cannot fathom why they never reacted.
Toxic positivity.
- Anna's Archive - a massive and not entirely licit online library - has been hit with a $13 trillion lawsuit by Spotify, Universal, Warner, and Sony Music. (MSN)
"Hey, you can't steal the work of countless artists and not pay them a dime! That's our job!" - Tesla throws in the towel on car sales. (The Verge) (archive site)
Of course, this is not true, but The Verge has abandoned any pretense at being a news site.
- The $100 billion deal between Nvidia and OpenAI seems to have encountered choppy waters. (WSJ) (archive site)
The plan, unveiled in September, was for Nvidia to invest $100 billion in OpenAI so that OpenAI could purchase $100 billion of Nvidia hardware.
Now... Not so much.Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang has privately emphasized to industry associates in recent months that the original $100 billion agreement was nonbinding and not finalized, people familiar with the matter said. He has also privately criticized what he has described as a lack of discipline in OpenAI's business approach and expressed concern about the competition it faces from the likes of Google and Anthropic, some of the people said.
OpenAI has name recognition - it's the company behind ChatGPT - but its CEO is a snake oil salesman.
- Researchers have discovered 175,000 publicly exposed Ollama servers worldwide. (Tech Radar)
Ollama is an AI tool that you run on your own hardware, but can also talk to services like ChatGPT and Claude.
Around half of those servers are configured not just to answer questions but to execute code... For anyone in the entire world.
- AMD's Zen 6 CPU chiplet is slightly smaller than Zen 2. (WCCFTech)
It has twelve cores and 48MB of L3 cache vs. 8 cores and 32MB of cache for Zen 2 (and 3, 4, and 5), but the move to the latest 2nm process means that it's about the same size as it always has been. Zen 2 on 7nm was 77mm2, and Zen 6 is 76mm2.
If the promises for TSMC's N2P process node are borne out, this should be a major upgrade - not just 50% more cores, but cores running 30% faster at the same power requirements.
- Nvidia has gone all-in on the video cards you don't want. (VideoCards)
Reportedly - Nvidia hasn't announced this officially but it matches my own and everyone else's market observations - 75% of GPU supply from Nvidia will go to three models: The 5060, the 5060 Ti 8GB model, and the 5070.
The high-end models and the 16GB 5060 Ti will have limited availability going forward, with the entry level 5050 not even rating a mention. And the 5090 already isn't available anywhere for less than 50% over MSRP.
I bought an AMD 9060 XT 16GB fearing shortages and price increases, which haven't happened to that model, though the 9070 which was briefly available below MSRP no longer is.
I looked up Van Morrison just now fearing I'd missed an obituary at some point, and not only is he still around, he was recording anti-lockdown songs with Eric Clapton during the WuFlu.
Here's to you, Mr. Morrison.

That is ending now as changes to semiconductor economics have broken a critical part of the console business. There may be a period where no new consoles are launched. There may never be any new consoles in the traditional sense of a closed platform requiring its own code base. The game business will continue without pause for much of it.

"Ollama" --? That sounds awfully like a certain viciously anti-American and jugeared public figure's name. Disturbing.
I glanced back over Ace's posts from last evening. People are actually paying over $2000 a *month* for rent in LA and other places??? Gee, they must be doing awfully well. I was taught as a young Aurelius that you should pay no more than 25% of your *take-home* pay for shelter. Of course, nowadays real-estate agents all tell you the rule of thumb is 33% or even more of your *gross* pay. Insane.
Anyway, I'm up, about to feed the furry thugs and then myself. What's up witchoo?

The infotainment center of my Buick was refusing to recognize the flash drive in the console ("No Media Found"). A couple of soft reset methods I dug up on the 'Net were no good. So yesterday morning I disconnected the negative cable of the battery, waited about five minutes, then reconnected. Success, and I only had to reset the time and date. I'm glad I did it yesterday in 60-degree weather.

32.4 degrees out, with a pending death-storm sometime today.
Anyhow.....went to the premier showing of the movie, Melania yesterday at 1:00 in the afternoon.
Sold out showing, and remarkably enjoyable.
It shows a side of her that is not often seen, and was an enjoyable almost two hours of worthwhile movie watching.

There could the basis for a hilarious black comedy about the current state of this company.
The remaining teams have been split into separate 'houses' and each is focused on a specific genre of game. Which makes sense if Ubislop is positioning itself to sell off future assets.
Now imagine a story centering around the heads of these houses trying all means fair or foul to avoid the chopping block.

Am I the only one who buys new vehicles in cash?

Old school lenders rejected loans if your total debt (including credit card, school loans, and car payments) to income ratio was projected to be over 40% of gross income. That is why is was never a good idea to buy a new car before buying a house. Buy the car AFTER the house.

If you throw all the debt into the spotlight, then I guess forty is not too insane. Still, to use gross income as the drop-dead figure makes no sense. You never see all of that, thanks to taxes, and you can't spend it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Excellent videography, well paced and edited.
You get to hear Melania herself narrate large portions. She tells a lot of her story. She is very polished and articulate. And of course elegant. What surprised me the most is the score. The music choices were excellent and she sings along with a Michael Jackson song and even dances a little to YMCA.
I don't know when or where it will be available again, but I strongly recommend it.
Lots of fashion stuff. Hope Piper gets to see it.

With a mortgage, you get enough interest payments to go over the standard deduction and itemize. That is the sweet-spot.

Mortgage interest is a one line entry. You can have 2 of them. We own 3 properties and pick the two with the highest, annual mortgage interest payments. I believe one must be your primary residence regardless of the interest paid. (Unless it's paid off, then you're screwed.)

No, the reason I am still a renter is that I have never had a big enough down payment to bring the inflated cost of a mortgage down into the reasonable area for a single earner. I do now.
It's true I have no idea at this point what my interest payments will be with my house; if they exceed the standard deduction, perfect. On a modest house, can they exceed the $23K I'll get this year? If so, I'll itemize next year.

Indeed, I have a Q Anon friend who kept me up-to-date on Van Morrison's wonderful protest songs and concerts mocking and railing against the numerous Covid PsyOps of the time.
And although I was looking forward to some of his songs being featured in the 2021 movie "Belfast" -- that film thoroughly sucked (despite featuring very good actors like Caitríona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, and Dame Judy Dench) and I couldn't even finish watching it.
Are TJM or MAE around for a panning movie review?

Gwen Walz can't testify. Spousal immunity.
Posted by: NaCly Dog
Government can't force. She can volunteer.
Can Marital or Spousal Privileges Be Waived?
Privileges must be properly asserted. If they are not, the privilege may be waived (given up). For instance, in a criminal case, a spouse who wants to testify against the other can do so, and this testimony is a waiver of their spousal testimonial privilege. A spouse can also waive or lose the right to assert the privilege by failing to object to the other spouse's testimony when offered. Either spouse can generally waive their right to keep marital communications confidential by communicating the information to a third party.

According to a source close to the Walz family, allegedly, Gwen Walz is in the process of filing for DIVORCE from Tim Walz.
Allegedly, there are pictures of her leaving a local divorce attorney that are going to be leaked.

I don't think the Clintons have many fans at this point. Wellstone's funeral was used as a campaign event. Bill is a lot more problematic, and I don't think Hillary will be as enthusiastic to celebrate him at this late date.

I did it. I went to see the Melania movie tonight.
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Excellent videography, well paced and edited.
You get to hear Melania herself narrate large portions. She tells a lot of her story. She is very polished and articulate. And of course elegant. What surprised me the most is the score. The music choices were excellent and she sings along with a Michael Jackson song and even dances a little to YMCA.
I don't know when or where it will be available again, but I strongly recommend it.

Under federal law, there are two marital privileges
1. Testimonial privilege (privilege of witness-spouse)
2. Communication privilege (either spouse can assert)
So if Gwen saw Tim putting bribe money in a bag with a dollar sign on it, or saw a thank you note from a somali day-care owner, she can testify to that if she chooses.
Without Tim's permission, she can't testify "Tim told me he was getting millions of dollars in kickbacks from the somalis" unless that privilege was broken by having a third party present.

Pretty much straight documentary/behind-the-scenes of the 10 days prior to the 2025 inauguration. Melania narrates.
Funniest part (there are several) - Trump's talking to Melania on the phone the day of congressional certification of the election. Classic Trump (paraphrasing, we all know the script) "it's one of the biggest victories ever, we won every swing state, we won the popular vote by millions, nobody's seen anything like it!". Melania doesn't roll her eyes but her voice/words say it all - "hey great, yes, I'll see it on the news" "OK".
Hope somehow lots of non-Trump-deranged people see it. Especially women. I almost feel sorry for the TDS people, and sort of sick about the country (the "elite" pop culture/media/etc) treating Melania so poorly. A decent, good-hearted, and of course blazingly glamorous beautiful FLOTUS. Most beautiful ever, really! Nobody like her before!

Don't tell the Mrs about our experience, then.
Our taxi was roaring down Lake Shore Drive to the hospital, MiladyJo's sister, a nurse, in the front seat, threatening to hop in the back and hold the severely expecting mother's knees together.
The cabbie had radioed our imminent arrival, but what got through was that she'd already given birth, and so at the entrance was a large crowd of anxious doctors and nurses.
I barely had time to put on some scrubs and rush to the delivery room. Time from arrival at the hospital until Son the First was born, ten minutes. Time from first son's birth to when Son the Second was born, ten more minutes. That was a wild whirlwind.

One of my friends (also a retired senior NCO) was chatting with me about Walz and we agreed that he was a classic apple-polishing brown-noser. "Yes, sir, very good sir!" type, always buttering up his boss, and so he got to E8 and almost made E9, but for the prospect of actually deploying, which should have been the culmination of his career.
Given his age and generation, that should have been a huge thing for him. I know guys that retired because they did NOT deploy. But no, he dodged it, and then lied about going, which shows what a scumbag he really was.

Our first, a daughter, was born at home. The midwife thought she had time to take a nap on the couch. Ha. No. I had to do the catching. The doctor had trouble finding a parking space, and arrived in time to cut the cord, shake my hand, and leave. That was unforgettable.

I was 10 days late with #1 and he's never been on time his entire life (except for work, which is good). Please keep in mind that frat boys mooed at me a few weeks prior and I was gigantic from the side (from the back you couldn't tell). Mother got tears in her eyes when I picked her up at the airport. Nurses thought I was having twins,to alarm us (pre-ultrasounds).
I finally go into labor. I walk miles to get things going. Finally the pain was pretty bad 12hrs later and we go to L&D to be sent home again as I had not progressed. Hours later I say take me, I have had enough. Doc tries everything, breaking water, pitocin. It was not going to happen because he had a giant head that would not fit. 22hrs later he tells me I need to be "thinking" c-section and I am fine with this! But not emergent as they made me wait 5 more hours.
Have epidural and almost pass out due to dehydration. Husband almost passes out because I do, so I tell the nurses to make him drink a Coke (because I think Coke's are magic cures).Giant son is finally born and healthy at 10 lbs and large head. #2 son was a planned section.

One lady was having her 8th, my first shift in L&D as a student, and kept telling the nurses she thought she was ready. They said nah. She asked me to look and wowzers it did not look normal and I got the nurses. They delivered the baby and it was the best delivery of all. The doc walked in to cut the cord and, no doubt, charged her for his part.
Our grandchildren were born this easy, too. The OB, figuring DIL was having her first, went to lunch. My son and a nurse delivered their boy to her surprise.
Some make it look easy for the rest of us. I didn't care how they came out as long as they were healthy, and they were. I'm also sort of glad they were c-section to spare my husband trauma.
I LOVE the Minneapolis map up there! Haven't seen any video in a few days of crazy women with whistles. Is it calm now? Will Walz now declare his love for Don Renaldo Lemon?

An interesting astronomical discovery. Exoplanets galore have been discovered. But exomoons, moons orbiting planets haven't been confirmed yet (much harder to detect) but they have a few candidates. Another big one was announced today.
There's a system about 130 ly away. Very young F5 star. There's a 28 Jupiter mass planet orbiting it, about 10 AU. It's probably more of a brown dwarf than a gas giant. Anyway, they detected quite a wobble to its orbit, and it likely (but not confirmed) has a moon orbiting it.
If you can call it a moon. The moon itself would be about 40% the mass of Jupiter, and orbiting the thing at about 1/5 of AU at a high 60 degree inclined orbit.
That's a wild discovery.

That's the "eggbeater", beloved of synchronized swimmers and water polo players.
(Knowledge courtesy of #1 daughter, sync swimmer and water polo letterer).
When I was in high school, swimming was a PE requirement. I lived in a working class/poor area, and swimsuits were a luxury item that many families couldn't afford, so the school, much like how they provided uniforms, cleats and pads for the football team, provided swimsuits... for the girls. Because, uhhh, girls. The boys got their semester of swim lessons au naturel. Which is why I learned to float on my back to the shouts of the coach, "Periscopes up!"

Some of it is ok, but it does sound like one long jam session of wandering around the fingerboard aimlessly. Its not an easy music to play, because there is technique involved, but damn...

In most places Karen from the HOA will fine you if you paint anything a non-approved color.
Something really has to be done about those kangaroo courts. Your neighbors shouldn't be allowed to issue new directives without an actual, you know, law, even if the HOA contract says they can change the rules.
"Against public policy" is, I believe, the legal term.
One of my favorite parts of Tulsa King is where Doofus from the HOA finds out who Dwight "The General" Manfredi really is and starts tripping over himself rescinding the fines.

Sound like our second. OB got there just in time to catch. Still in his suit, just washed his hands, no gloves.
Yes, he did charge full rate, as did the anesthesiologist , who got there 5 minutes late, and slapped an oxygen mask on her for a couple of minutes. I know this because I got the bills. This was before insurance started covering childbirth. It wasn't a disease, and if it was an accident, it was your own damned fault.
Our first, OTOH, was 38 hours. The OB had to use forceps to rotate him because he was facing backwards. Kid looked like a conehead, and he was over a year old before the marks on his temples faded.

I saw where Flea, the bassist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, is talking about finally doing a jazz trumpet album. I knew that was his original training, but I didn't realize that he had this idea in the back of his head all this time that he'd like to show it off. Apparently, the realization that he's pushing 60 is motivation to take it out of the "someday" column.
In a similar vein, Mark Tremonti -- guitarist for Creed, Alter Bridge, and his own metal project -- is also singing an album of Frank Sinatra covers. I think it's pretty normal for good musicians to have more influences than just the genre that they're known for, and while blues is the most common influence for rock, jazz influences also show up in a lot of unexpected places.

Every neighborhood newer than that has the main service distribution underground, with only the service drop to the house being above ground, if that.
They've been retrofitting older neighborhoods with underground distribution lines, too.
The power goes out WAY less often in the winter than it used to.

Ok, not really sorry that we're not getting frozen solid & snowed under-- but I'm sorry that people who *aren't generally prepared to deal with it* are being forced to deal with it.

We're pretty prepared in these parts. We do have good snowstorms occasionally. Sometimes its a few years in between but most people remember that we have them. A lot of people have generators, many have whole house generators like Generac or some other shit like it. Quite a few have wood burning stoves or fireplaces, or other alternative heat sources. Just about everybody seems to have snowblowers. The township is great with plowing the roads. They don't screw around. Power company is pretty good too. Power is never out that long when some idiot hits a pole. The longest I saw power out around here was maybe 4 hours. I can see some southern states getting blind sided though.

No full moon in Feb happens about every 19 years. Last time was 2018, and next will 2037.
Now, a leap year Feb with no full Moon is rare indeed, but can still happen. The mean synodic month is 29.53 days. The last time that happened was 1608. Next time will be 2572.

Here's the GFS model run for the Southeast:
https://is.gd/tTT8t7
You can switch between the models, but that's set to GFS. Play around and you'll see what each says for snowfall and all the other variables.
Tropicaltidbits is good. The Euroweenie model isn't entirely free, and the graphics certainly aren't. They get the free data, and just enough bare subscription data to be able to render the graphics themselves. Now GFS is your tax dollars at work, NWS/NOAA, and public domain all the way.

Second was a planned homebirth, born in a kiddy pool in our 400 sq ft apartment. Took a while for her to start breathing. Even the midwife seemed worried.
By the third my wife was ready to deliver at the hospital. I caught her myself in our kitchen. Baby and Mama were fine, but the fireman who responded to the 911 call made us go to the hospital. Our friend who stayed with our sleeping kids said that after we left in an ambulance, they did all the laundry.
The rest were born in the hospital with lots of time to spare.

Boy, everything tonight is triggering memories, though this one is second hand.
The wife and her posse decided to play tourist back around 2010, and pick a "blues" theme. They took Hwy 61 from Memphis to Nawlins. They stooped at the Delta Blues Museum, and the guide pointed out that KFFA was just a hop skip and a jump across the river. So they drove over, and got there halfway through the King Biscuit Time show. They got a short tour, and wound up in the studio during the show. Sunshine Payne actually talked to all four women in their 60s on the air. None of them were aficionados, they just like the music. She topple me that he was just very nice to them. There's a picture around here somewhere with the four ladies and Sunshine.

Still now snowing in Travelers Rest. That's a joke. Back in high school and before, we young 'uns would get all excited about snow, hoping to get out of school. Somehow, a rumor got started it was snowing in Travelers Rest, which was a hopeful sign it would move down our way.
In high school, one of the teachers, a chemistry teacher, got a kick out of that, and when snow was possible, he would purposefully start the "It's snowing in Travelers Rest!" rumor just for fun.

The forecast here in NE Okla is single digits overnight, high of 20 tomorrow, so the remaining snow gets one more day. After that, we get those warming days, highs near 60 with merely-freezing nights. No more snow. I'll take it! (Albeit, the Winter is far from over.)

Dec 7, 1988. Set the Jan record snowfall. Feb, however, has the highest all time daily snowfall, 15" way back in 1902 on the 15th.
In '85, Jan 21, we hit -4F. 1F day before, which are daily low records. I remember when that happened. In my memory, it was snowing, but turns out that was false -- no snowfall recorded in the records. My mind was conflating that with some other snow.

Sock Monkey,
We feel cheated here in SW Wyoming.
It's going to be in the 50's this weekend. Very strange.
We are going to grill lots of stuff though.

Spent longer than anticipated in the pantry, LOL. At least poppers will be quick tomorrow night- just need to fill the pepper halves and give them a bacon-wrap. Easy peasy! There will be extras for freezing. No sense making a single batch after all the trouble, right?
Some day soon, I need to make a big batch of pot stickers. *That* is an all-day affair...

One mild winter day, I decided to peel the bark off of an old stump in the yard-- fk'n yellow jackets huddled under it, barely alive... I was happy to see them exposed to the cold! Fkrs.

I'm a firm believer in fire. lol
One night some years back during the summer I was in the garage working on a bike on the lift, and I had the garage door open. There were a few dudes hanging out. I wasn't paying attention because I was focused on the bike, and I hear one dude say shit there's a lot of bugs. I looked up and there were all kinds of shit flying around the lights. I grabbed a can of starting fluid, aimed it up, fire up a lighter and hit the nozzle and held it down. This huge brutal tsunami of fire just rolled across the ceiling all the way to door incinerating all before it. When I let go of the nozzle all you saw were dead bugs falling like confetti. All of it wiped clean like it was done by the hand of a fire god. Nothing survived. We laughed, I closed the door, and no more bugs. lol

Propane weed burner is my favorite yellow jacket ground nest weapon. Living in the woods, it has some limitations when it gets dry. When it's dry out, I don't light the torch I just pump the Propane into the hole and toss a match in the hole. Not nearly as effective as frying them and always results in some pissed off yellow jackets looking to get even but I still do it.

I use to run a bug zapper in the back. At the old house there was a small lake behind the yard. Frigging woods sounded alive, like jungle shit. I used to run the zapper every night and sometimes some big shit must have gotten in because it sounded like frankensteins lab. 30 second of continuous frying.

We were building a few retaining walls in the back yard of the old house one year. A friend was there helping and he was running the mower all over the place. We saw a yellow jacket hole. He pours a half gallon of 2 stroke pre mix gas into the hole. There were all these yellow jackets hovering above. I had found a small intact birds nest lying in the yard. so I stuck it on the end up a stick, lit it up and flicked it at the gas filled hole in the ground.There was a frigging orange/black mushroom cloud. The friend of mine yells "holy shit, did you see that, those bees just melted". The flame coming out of the hole lasted hours. It was like the flame on kennedy's grave. That was satisfying. lol

I closed, but didn't quite latch, the gate back there & doggy got back to that hole in the blocks. Ugh! She just sat by the hole and ate & ate until I found her, all wobbly, after an hour or so.
She could stand, barely, but not walk! Called the vet, who recco'd Benadryl. Got those down her, and then she slept for HOURS...was so scared she wouldn't wake up... but she did, and was terribly hung-over for the rest of that day.
I was very careful to keep her away from there, until we took care of that confounded nest of asshoe things!

Nature's Alarm Clock. Raising adorable orphaned baby rhinos. The Volonaut airbike, which the company claims is real, and not just a prop being moved around by a rope dangling from a crane which is digitally removed with CGI. The cost of the airbike, if it's real, will be $880,000, when it's ready for sale, if ever. Big dog who was kept in a small crate for six years is now free to run and and play. "Oatmeal" the dog lives in the pool. It takes a village to raise a squirrel. Did you know that 90% of modern song "writing" is just stealing the main hook of prior hits and giving the actual writers no money or even credit?
Terrified rescue dog comes out of her shell. Poor dog was kept immobilized on a chain too heavy to move for 13 years. When he was confiscated, he was put on the euthanasia list due to his immobility. But he was rescued and is living his last years with loving people. That, sir, is a bear. Border collie has moved up to herding horses. Nate Bargatze on the responsibility of dog ownership. And the hazards. Bargatze is interesting because he avoids all profanity and sexual stuff. I think he's popular, though, because he gets into truly edgy material: passive-aggressively fighting with his wife about nothing from the stage. This is real courage in comedy. Speaking Truth to Wife.
Last weekend, without assistance or ropes or any other equipment*, star climber Alex Honnold climbed the 1667 foot 101 Tapei building. It was streamed live on Netflix, so I guess he got legal permission to do it?

Of course, that's easy-peasy compared to the climb he's most famous for.

I have two daughters. My youngest is not yet two years old and will, I hope, be too young to remember anything about the armed, masked agents terrorizing Minneapolis. My oldest, as she’d proudly tell you, will be five next summer. I don’t know how much she understands, but I wanted to be prepared for anything she might ask, so I turned, as generations of parents have, to Sesame Street. Here’s their advice for ages four to five: “Children may be concerned about your safety or about being separated. Explain all the ways grown-ups can keep them safe—if they’re afraid of an event that happened far away, use the distance to reassure them.”

I was extremely disappointed upon later learning that you can drive to the top (or near the top) of Pikes Peak! ARGGGGHHHHH! The inspiration for "America The Beautiful" and "amber waves of grain" and "purple mountain majesties

🚨 Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson makes clear that her city doesn’t need a Signal chats. Instead she’s going to mobilize the actual police force to do what Signal networks do in Minneapolis.
She will even have the SPD relay intel gathered on federal agents to “community partners” and ban usage of city property by agents.
Katie is a former professional protestor. She’s manipulating her office as mayor of one of the most powerful cities in the country to aid and abet domestic terrorists today, and resist the federal government.

Imagine, if you will, that the British Navy had been working on one wooden sailboat that they were going to use to sail to Labrador in the winter. It was a leaky piece of crap that existed only because the King had a contract with London to supply it with wood (and not good wood).
But meanwhile the shipyards in Bristol and Liverpool were designing ironclads supplied from the ironworks up and down Staffordshire.
The Navy would be fools to be investing so much in this one stupid boat with decades-obsolete tech and inferior material.

It's just nature's way of telling you something's wrong in song. Taurus (is that the instumental's name) came out in '68? Stairway was 1971 yet Randy California never said squeak about it - it was his family who sued after he died. Taurus is a nice instrumental. Stairway to Heaven may be the greatest rock song ever written and is so much more than the Taurus-inspired intro, such as that guitar solo (my 2nd favorite behind one recorded by FOTB Buck Dharma), and the tour-de-force the solo ends at. At least RC could've used Stairway to bring some attention to Spirit but didn't. I may be the only one here who has 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. Not feeling bad for Spirit.

The administration seems very reluctant to invoke the Insurrection Act. No clue why... but I figure it's a purely political one.
I think all they really want is compliance at the minimal level. That's more or less what Homan wanted/offered to Minneapolis... minimal compliance with federal law. And all that is is just telling the feds where and when the city or state is releasing the illegals.
Note... they're still just releasing the illegals into the landscape.
The feds are not even trying to get the sanctuary enclaves to follow the letter of the law other than this.

The Week In Woke
Minnesota's first openly homosexual governor, Tim Walz, makes the Stunning and Brave Announcement that he will never run for political office again. As if it's xis choice! This is as bad as Kristen Stewart saying she can't "freely work" in the US so she'll be filming her zero-budget middle aged woman student film in Latvia. That's not a choice, that's just reality.
But note he only says he won't run for office -- he may still serve. Reportedly, Minnesota's first openly homosexual governor and corrupt Democrat Senator and perpetual presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar have worked out a corrupt deal. He drops out of the governor's race, she enters it, she wins, and then she appoints him as senator to take over for her. Amazing. Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is now an inconvenient embarrassment. It was published 20 years ago, and made plenty ofGore shared dramatic graphs. Polar ice? Gone, any day now. Sea levels? Twenty feet in the "near future," which, in political time, means "before the checks clear." Arctic summers ice-free by, oh, pick a year, any year; 2013, 2014, five to seven years from whenever he was speaking. Snows of Kilimanjaro? Vanished within a decade.Now if only Star Trek makes the same realization:
Advertisement Coastal cities? Should be holding snorkel conventions by now. Reality, being the stubborn jerk that it is, refused to cooperate with Tipper's husband. Arctic ice dips and bobs like it's on a budget seesaw--it never quite disappears. Sea levels creep up a modest few millimeters each year, and at this rate, your great-great-grandkids might need taller beach chairs. Snow still falls on Kilimanjaro, while cities keep building condos on the water like it's prime real estate. No mass evacuations, no sirens, just... life. Deadlines came and went quieter than a mime convention. There wasn't a press conference with Gore saying, "Oops! My bad; turns out the models were a little more enthusiastic than I thought." Just new deadlines, fresh urgency, yet using the same PowerPoint.
Paul Embery
@PaulEmbery 10h Some of us have been arguing for a long time that the BBC's obsession with promoting hyper-diversity in its drama productions -- even in period dramas -- was preachy and inauthentic and was alienating viewers. Needless to say, the usual accusations were thrown at us. Now an independent review, commissioned by the BBC itself, has found that the over-representation of ethnic minority characters, especially in period dramas, can feel "clunky", "inauthentic" and "preachy" to the viewer. It concludes: "The BBC should aim for an organic and authentic approach to diversity rather than it looking forced or tick box." Interestingly, the authors state: "We found our interviewees of colour as emphatic on this point as those who were white."

@libsoftiktok 36m Lgbtq Judge Rosie who was just arrested was involved in multiple scandals and was even ordered to take an additional course on judicial ethics. - reportedly congratulated attorneys on winning cases in her court on her official FB page
- was found with a loaded gun at the airport and received a fine
- was ordered to remove pride flags and entered a years-long battle
- now facing a felony charge for unlawfully handcuffing an attorney over a dispute on courtroom procedure
According to new polling, a comfortable majority of Americans (as much as 64%) want all illegals immigrants deported. A majority also want legal migration reduced.

The great auk inhabited cold North Atlantic coastal waters, breeding on rocky islands with easy access to the ocean, primarily in areas like Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and the British Isles. They required specific nesting sites that were remote and protected from predators, which limited their breeding colonies to about 20 locations.
The great auk, also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.

Hard to pick between my favorite two Algore moments:
The 5 minute make-out session with Tipper at the podium of the 2000 Democrat Convention
I referred to that as a tonsillectomy.
Then I threw up.
I'd say my favorite Gore moment was when a masseuse referred to him as a Sex Poodle who wanted her to reach his special chakra. I laughed hysterically over this for awhile.

I.worked a few places back before defined contribution plans (401k) took over from defined benefit plans (pensions). The shortest vesting period in any of them was 6 years for a 30% benefit, scaling up to full benefit at 15 years. The other two didn't pro-rate it, a full 10 years or nothing.

She played for years without any issue. She was a mediocre player in a mediocre league, and no one had any problem until she was outed against her will.
my trans friend competed in hundreds of races, usually ending up mid-field. One day… ONE DAY her nutrition is on point, she’s at the peak of her current fitness schedule, no bike issues, able to get perfect position for a 3rd place finish AND SUDDENLY it’s a problem for the sport.
NO ONE is transitioning so they can dominate in sports. That’s ridiculous. And the "common sense" argument has no weight in any of the transgender issues of sports, what is a women, there are only two genders, etc. ad nauseum. It was once "common sense" that the earth was flat.
There is a compromise available: the regulatory bodies of individual sports could set their own regulations for what level of hormones/transitioning is acceptable.

I think what gets overlooked, not mentioned, perhaps purposely, is the matter of 'scale'. The predictions I recall are maybe 1 degree C or 2 degrees F total warming. What never gets mentioned is that the average temperature of the earf is maybe around 50 F or 18 C (my guess). On an absolute temperature scale, 18C is almost 290 degrees above absolute -0-. So when we talk temperature rise, it's maybe 1 degree above the ~300 that we're already at.

EU democracy now has fewer guardrails than the average hooker
By Rachel Marsden

https://tinyurl.com/y3vmnrsu
"The unelected European Commission is basically using policy and the absolute outer bounds of executive prerogative powers (that is, the powers to decide foreign policy and national security strategy) as a substitute for the checks and balances of legal due process. And they absolutely neglect to define any terms in a way that people can understand, avoid punishment, or even argue coherently that they’re not in breach. You want to accuse someone of working for Russia? What does that even mean? It’s not like we’re talking about Russian officials here.
There seems to be a rampant and ridiculous assumption that because someone works in another country and agrees with its approach on certain things, they’ve abandoned their integrity and values at the border – along with their critical faculties. As if employment abroad automatically comes with a complimentary lobotomy."

As Illegals Flee LA, Rent Prices Fall to a Four Year Low
The LA Times doesn't make this connection, of course.
It's all just a coinky-dink. It just so happens that the biggest deportation drive since Eisenhower's poorly-named "Operation Wetback" coincides with the first fall in LA rental costs since, well, forever. There's "increased housing supply," they say. No word about decreased housing demand."Finally, a renter's market": L.A. rent prices drop to four-year low L.A. metro area rent prices dropped to a four-year low in December, with the median rent falling to $2,167. Increased housing supply -- 15,095 apartments completed in 2025 -- combined with decreased demand is shifting power back toward renters for the first time in years. Sandra Gomez braced for impact as she opened the lease renewal offer for her East L.A. apartment in September. She paid $2,000 for the last 12 months, but since the unit wasn't covered by L.A.'s Rent Stabilization Ordinance, her landlord could jack up the price for the next lease. The new price? $1,950. "I thought it was a mistake," Gomez said. "Since when does rent get cheaper in L.A.?" For years, L.A. has been one of the costliest cities in the country for renters. Annual price hikes seemed inevitable, and finding the perfect apartment felt more like a competitive sport. But data suggest that the market could be ever so slightly shifting. The median rent in the L.A. metro area dropped to $2,167 in December -- the lowest price in four years, according to data from Apartment List that analyze new leases for one- and two-bedroom apartments in a given month. The median rent for L.A. County also dropped to a four-year low of $2,035. The last time L.A. rents were that low was January 2022, in the wake of a furious pandemic home-buying market that saw a wave of renters buy homes for the first time, leaving apartments empty and bringing prices down.I wonder if this drop-off mirrors a national trend.
I guess national rents are also affected by LA's supposed "increase in housing supply."
The drop-off mirrors a national trend, as the U.S. median rent dropped to a similar four-year low in December. But within Southern California, the downturn is unique to L.A. Over the same stretch, rents rose or remained steady in Orange, Ventura and San Bernardino counties and in California as a whole.
Tell me more about the demand, LA Times. No? Don't want to talk about that?
Opinions also vary on the cause, but the clearest explanation seems to be a simple case of supply and demand.
The article literally never mentions the country's first year of net-outwards migration in history. It's amazing -- the media screams incessantly that deporting illegal workers will cause a labor crisis, but they absolutely refuse to mention the fact that a net-negative immigration rate will naturally cause housing prices (and all other prices) to fall.
Although L.A. has generally lagged in housing construction compared with cities such as San Diego, 2025 was a big year for new apartments hitting the market, despite several hundred multifamily buildings burning in the Palisades and Eaton fires. ... Renters are starting to notice that the landlord-tenant balance of power is shifting, ever so slightly, toward tenants. On a Reddit post discussing the drop in rental prices, one user wrote that they pay $3,200 for a two-bedroom apartment in Koreatown, but now, the building has six vacant units listed for about $2,800. Another user wrote that they secured a lease for $1,000 less than the previous tenant paid after noticing the unit had sat on the market with multiple price cuts.
Anthony Moore has lived in his North Hollywood apartment complex for two years, paying $2,700 for a two-bedroom unit. In the fall, he noticed similar units in the same complex listed for $2,500. "I pay month to month, so I wasn't tied to my lease," he said. "I called my landlord and told him I wanted to pay what the other units were listing for or I would move out." He now pays $2,500.

I’d also like to see home buying has fared during this time. My best guesstimate is that buying was soft the last few years because of Biden’s insane interest rates, but has now picked up. That would mean some renters are now buyers.
But surely, kicking out hordes of illegals certainly decreased demand. I’d like to see the rental rates broken down by cost. I’d assume the illegals were renting at the low end and this jacking up prices there.

Background: Utah has 4 Congressional districts, all gerrymandered to give moderate GOP advantage. Leftists hate that. So they got a state judge to throw out our congressional maps and instead use a map designed by some far left group in Virginia, guaranteeing them a seat that would make Stalin look conservative. The state GOP is gathering signatures to repeal the law the judge used. And now leftists are attacking the signature gatherers and destroying the gathered signatures. The comments to that article are all about "The GOP is trying to protect Trump so it's ok to hurt the gatherers!!! REEEE!"
I hope Ace or some blogger sees this. Just open, in your face violence now from leftists.

To my credit, EVERYBODY got little Quviut scarves for Christmas that year (and so did a couple of lucky Texas MoMe attendees).

Glad you splurged!! No regrets.
My mother-in-law is a hooker herself (and has the mug to prove it!), and I keep wondering what crocheting doodads to buy her as gifts. She also has fibromyalgia, so has super sensitive skin, and gets cold easily. I will add Quiviut wool to the list! I bet she'd love it, and it sounds perfect for her. Much better than another Joanne's Fabric gift card.

I’d also like to see home buying has fared during this time. My best guesstimate is that buying was soft the last few years because of Biden’s insane interest rates, but has now picked up. That would mean some renters are now buyers.
But surely, kicking out hordes of illegals certainly decreased demand. I’d like to see the rental rates broken down by cost. I’d assume the illegals were renting at the low end and this jacking up prices there.

For a while during COVID several big corps were buying up houses and holding them. I believe Trump blocked that kind of thing and they probably are divesting themselves. Like the Chicken/Egg issue, this probably was a Biden distortion in the market for infiltration of illegals.

This is not about tapped out renters deciding to not have a place to live. Multifamily construction has been at historic highs for several years.
Unless you’re getting paid in a foreign currency or performing a forex hedge your rent is not cheaper due to dollar devaluation lol. People need to learn the difference between the DXY and inflation
One of factors people miss is lot of rental properties are shifting from short rentals so that is causing an increase in inventory as well.
I can’t stand this economic fascism. Cheaper rents are destroying landlords ability to profit. The falling price of gasoline is causing more climate change. Trump is destroying the American way of life. I can’t handle this anymore. /s

Hospice care is primarily covered by Medicare Part A for beneficiaries with a terminal illness (6 months or less to live), providing up to 100% coverage for comfort-focused care.
It is also covered by Medicaid in nearly all states, as well as by most private insurance plans.
The latter, under Medicaid and several Medicare advantage programs, seems to open the door to fraud.

Virginia's Governor Sold Herself as a Moderate Centrist as a Candidate.
Surprise! In Office, She's a Radical Leftist
Karol Markowicz:
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was sworn in just a few weeks ago, but the tornado of bad policy is already swirling around her state. Spanberger's very first order of business was reversing Gov. Glenn Youngkin's Executive Order 47, which had allowed for coordination between the Virginia State Police and the Department of Corrections and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That coordination was important because it allowed the federal and state governments to cooperate to remove people in the country illegally who had committed additional crimes. That it was necessary for Spanberger to make it harder to deport criminals is a tell that her moderate campaign commercials will instead translate into a much further left administration. Spanberger isn't alone in moving Virginia sharply leftward. Both branches of the state legislature are now also controlled by Democrats, and they're introducing policies that no one campaigned on. House Bill 863 would reduce minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter and child pornography. If Spanberger ran on "let's let rapists off easy," the Virginia electorate somehow missed it. In fact, Spanberger's campaign ads highlighted her law enforcement experience and that she's a moderate who works with both sides of the political aisle.Obviously they want to tax everything. To increase affordability, they say.
... Then there's House Bill 1442, which would prevent any enforcement of immigration law near polling locations. We're told it's very rare for illegal immigrants to vote in our elections and yet the Virginia legislature thinks a law like this is a high priority for the state. Why would immigration operations interfere with polling locations unless there are illegal immigrants voting at those polling locations? ...
Democrats are going to spend the next four years moving Virginia as far left as they can get away with -- unless Virginians stop them. Virginians who want to save their state have to keep pointing out that Spanberger the candidate is not Spanberger the governor, and that the state government being fully controlled by the Democratic Party is turning lawlessness and social engineering into policy. Virginia can be saved from this, before it becomes another failed blue state with residents running for the door, but they need to act quickly.
They have big plans for all that new money "liberated" from taxpayers: They're going to buy themselves fucking houses. Virginia Democrat politicians propose "unlimited" grants for home purchases for the most deserving constituency of all -- Virginia Democrat bureaucrats.
Virginia Democrats are proposing a slew of new hikes, pushing to have consumers to pay up for their gym memberships, Amazon orders, leaf blowers, and over a dozen other tax hikes. All of this comes after the Democrats and Governor Abigail Spanberger ran on "affordability," a message that flies in the face of the new proposals. The new tax bills are pushing for a tax on all of the following areas: Higher sales taxes on all Virginia counties and cities
Personal property tax on electric leaf blowers as well as electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Ammunition and firearms tax
New income tax brackets
A delivery tax, set to hit Amazon orders, FedEx and UPS orders, as well as Uber Eats in Northern Virginia
Gym membership tax
Counseling tax
New car tax and highway usage fees
Storage facility tax
Investment income tax
Event tax
Vehicle repair tax
Dry cleaning tax
Fantasy sports tax
Rideshare tax
Dog walking tax
Digital personal property tax
Increase in taxes in the Arlington area for hotels
Statewide speed camera (not a tax, but additional fines)
While the entire country focuses on Minneapolis for the next 48 hours, Democrats in Virginia have passed a bill out of committee that allows government bureaucrats to receive unlimited taxpayer funding to buy a house.

Top Official Of USAID-Linked Foreign Aid Agency To Plead Guilty To Taking Bribes African Development Foundation CFO admits he routed money to friend's African 'pass-through' in exchange for kickbacksToday started out as a slow news day but now there are a lot of stories being leaked out for a Friday burial.
By Luke Rosiak Jan 30, 2026 DailyWire.com Top Official Of USAID-Linked Foreign Aid Agency To Plead Guilty To Taking Bribes
Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation / ADF The chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, a federal agency affiliated with USAID, will plead guilty to steering grants and contracts in exchange for bribes. The previously-obscure African Development Foundation became a darling of the Left when its CFO, Mathieu Zahui, locked its doors to prevent Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from entering. Democrat politicians framed it as an act of moral courage, and left-wing media called the group "the little agency that could." But on Friday, the Department of Justice said Zahui admitted that he was doing exactly what conservatives have suspected is common in foreign aid: Laundering money through poor nations and then back to D.C. insiders, who used it to enrich themselves. According to court papers filed Friday, the African Development Foundation sent $800,000 to a Kenya-based company run by Zahui's friend. The friend paid Zahui a kickback of $12,000, and the company kept $134,886 for doing no work. The rest of the money was simply a "pass-through" where the Kenyan company paid bills that the agency owed to other people. That made it appear that more money was going to African aid as opposed to bureaucratic overhead, and added a layer that concealed where the agency's money was actually going. Zahui has agreed to plead guilty to accepting gratuities and making a false statement to a federal law enforcement officer, after he lied to the USAID Office of Inspector General about having received the kickbacks. He could face up to seven years in prison.

Maybe they didn't "fall for it". Northern Virginia, which are the suburbs of DC, and parts of Richmond and couple of other urban areas (Newport News?) are Democrat and will vote for this. It's the same story, over and over...
"Urban" voters will vote Democrat because of ....reasons. Voters in the rest of Virginia are likely appalled by this. And a lot of it is voter turnout. Bring out your dead, and turn out your vote.

U.S. cuts all this aid bullshit, much of which was bribery and graft, and cycled back to the U.S.
Government workers in Viginia, realize the gravy train is over, and overwhelmingly elect a far-left Dem for office.
Far left Dem IMMEDIATELY starts taxing everything in sight and gives handouts to government workers.
Hence the graft and fraud money is restored.

How much fraud was in this VA election?
Even if the GOP candidate did poorly in the run up to the election (and she did) was there any canvasing done to see how people actually voted outside the capitol city enclave?
I don't subscribe to the "they voted for it" narrative until I see the actual metrics... and those, for whatever reason are not widely publicized even though I'm sure they're out there.

Not that I was worried about killing Gaia, but tired of replacing fuel lines because of ethanol contamination in the fuel, I migrated from gas powered to buying Echo X Series Battery systems.
Kind of nice not having to futz with gasoline, oil, noise, hot engines, winterizing, etc. just slap a battery on and go do it.
Motors are MUCH quieter than two-stroke anything. But $1600 for back-pack Mexican bagpipe is pretty obscene. Then they want to slap taxes on it. And if you don't do yard maintenance, slap fines.
They hate human flourishing.

Also, NBD, but Epstein gave top Obama advisor and Democrat operative Kathryn Ruemmler a $10,000 handbag. That's not bribery, right?
'OH MY GOD!!!!! I am dying': Jeffrey Epstein Showered Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler With Gifts, Including $9,400 Hermes Handbag and Four Seasons Spa Treatment, Emails Show
Ruemmler, who told CNN Epstein never 'compensated' her, accepted the gifts years after Epstein's sex crimes were public knowledge Chuck Ross and Collin Anderson
January 30, 2026 Former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler has attempted to downplay a steady drip of revelations about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein by claiming he never "compensated" her. Newly released emails, however, show the convicted sex criminal showered Ruemmler with luxury gifts, including a $9,400 Hermes handbag, an Hermes-branded Apple watch, and a spa treatment package at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., emails reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. The gifts, revealed in documents released Friday by the Department of Justice, came years after allegations of Epstein's sex crimes against children became public knowledge and undercut Ruemmler's attempts to distance herself from Epstein. Ruemmler, now the top lawyer for Goldman Sachs, has faced intense criticism as troves of Epstein records shed light on her relationship with the sex pest. When CNN reported last month that Ruemmler advised Epstein on media strategies, she told the outlet she "did not represent him and was not compensated by him." The documents released Friday show otherwise. In emails ranging from 2014 to 2019, Ruemmler routinely corresponded with Epstein's associates to accept gifts or express her gratitude to Epstein. In some cases, she asked for specific items. The priciest gift likely came in August 2016, when Epstein purchased Ruemmler a $9,400 handbag from the French luxury brand Hermes. Epstein took a particular interest in ensuring Ruemmler received the bag, directing one of his associates, Lesley Groff, to "confirm receipt with Kathy" and "follow up to make sure it happens." When Ruemmler received the bag, she wrote to Groff, "OH MY GOD!!!!! He is in so much trouble!!!! I am dying. It is so beautiful," as Groff relayed to Epstein. Used versions of the same bag--a Jypsiere 31--now sell for around $5,000. Some two years later, in November 2018, Epstein bought Ruemmler an Hermes edition of the Apple Watch, which retails for $1,300. Emails show that Ruemmler asked for a specific model and watch band and said the gift was "so sweet of Jeffrey!" "If truly okay with him to do the Hermes, I would love the 40 mm, stainless Hermes with bleu indigo swift leather double tour," Ruemmler wrote at the time. "I'll wear that one every day, whereas the sportier ones I would likely only wear on weekends or when exercising, etc." When Epstein's associate, Groff, relayed the gift to Epstein's accountant, Richard Kahn, Groff wrote, "I knew Kathy would want Hermes." Epstein bought another Apple Watch for Steve Bannon around the same time, according to the emails. Epstein also appeared to be attuned to Ruemmler's schedule and professional achievements. He booked a "full half day" spa appointment at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown for Ruemmler in August 2016, writing to an associate, "she won her case and needs some pampering." The associate responded with a credit card authorization form and said, "Kathy will go either today or tomorrow she says..." A massage and facial at the luxury hotel can cost upwards of $1,000. Epstein appeared to provide other gifts of unknown value to Ruemmler. In December 2014, an Epstein associate emailed Ruemmler to inform her that Epstein planned to send his housekeeper to "deliver your ring to you!!" In February 2019, an Epstein associate sent a reminder email to an unidentified individual reading, "Reminder: Bottle of wine and note card to be delivered to Ruemmler today. Let me know once it has been delivered so I can tell Jeffrey."
Wow. In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it he says that Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing. 😳 pic.twitter.com/XNA0vNWTcI

Amazon paid for it, I plan to just see it when it streams on Prime. But I also don't want the libs to have the narrative of "Look at that Eastern European white trash Melania, her movie bombed! MAGA is falling!" Because I know they will. Never mind most documentaries don't make a lot of money.
Conversely, footage of Mamdami during his campaign was filmed, and is being turned into a documentary. And I'm sure dems will treat this as essential viewing for any good lib, like Fahrenheit 9/11 and Inconvenient Truth were. If you don't see it you are racist.

We never did figure out what on earth she did to the meatloaf (he watched me pretend to eat it while covering it or putting in a paper napkin).

Karma is a b***. And he makes more than dumb mistakes.
"Since the early 2000s, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (Gavi), Global Health Innovative Technology Fund and PATH, all heavily funded by the Gates Foundation, have been distributing vaccines
and drugs to vulnerable populations in Africa and India. In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded experimental malaria and meningitis vaccine trials across Africa and HPV vaccine programs in India. All of these programs resulted in numerous deaths and injuries, with accounts of
forced vaccinations and uninformed consent. Ultimately, these health campaigns, under the guise of saving lives, have relocated large scale clinical trials of untested or unapproved drugs to developing markets where administering drugs is less regulated and cheaper.
With the revelation of such abuses, the shortcomings of the current accountability regime for NGOs must be addressed in two critical areas: monitoring projects and monitoring potential influences and exploitation between donors and NGOs."

no it was Trump listening to stupid Bibi who was worried about Israel connections coming out from the Epstein files.
now we've got dozens of DOJ attorneys working on redacting and releasing the Epstein files instead of working on urgent Minnesota, election fraud, etc matters.
if Trump had stuck to his original plan they could have dribbled the files out when they had time along with UFO files and everything else he promised transparency on.
but deciding to simply withhold the files prompted a backlash in Congress and the media/democraps claiming Trump was trying to protect his own doings with Epstein

Nope, doesn't work that way. Tolling is a concept that a lot of law students fail to get but it is a VERY complicated matter not found in most statutory law.

That means the clock starts running when disclosure happens.

I recall having to spend $10 to get tested for syphilis before the county would issue us a marriage license back in 1980. If you had a positive result you could not get a license until you got treated and had two negative tests. All of that was at your own expense.

Nope, doesn't work that way. Tolling is a concept that a lot of law students fail to get but it is a VERY complicated matter not found in most statutory law. Has to do with when the clock starts for the statute of limitation and part of that is when an continuing conspiracy hides the facts on purpose. That means the clock starts running when disclosure happens.
Posted by: whig at January 30, 2026 05:16 PM (2swu2)
-----------------
And my understanding is that active cover-ups are also considered part of the conspiracy -- and thus start the clock ticking anew with each successive instance.

I was driving through town about an hour or so ago, and the weather gal came on the radio, telling us we were under an extreme cold warning from tomorrow until Monday.
She happily informed us that occurs when temperatures will be at 50 below or more. So, upstate SC is going to be -50F. You'd think that would've struck her as a bit odd indeed.
Actual criteria is temps and/or windchill below 5F for some time.

I don't hate him but simply his redemption will have to start with him getting down on his hands and knees begging the Lord and the world for forgiveness. I don't see him doing that.
That is his business between him and the Lord. Gates is simply an example of what happens when someone shuts out the Lord (compare him with Truitt Cathy, founder of Chick Fil A for example), yet Stan makes sure he flourishes for awhile.
Then Stan inevitably breakes his tools because Stan's pride is a magnitude greater as is his eternal despair for what he did. So he gets his jollies by revenging himself on the lord's creation of humanity. Gates was prideful but hid his sin in the darkness of whores and now it has been revealed to the entire world of his degeneracy.
Next will come more relevations of him and Epstein to the point where no one with any authority will want to be seen publicly with Gates nor partner with him in any way.
Same ending to Billy Clinton and Killary as well.

"The epidemiologist in me went, 'Oh, my goodness, this is a perfect setup for an explosion of a sexually transmitted disease.' And the same thing going to the gay bars and seeing what was going on, and it gave me a great insight into the explosiveness of the outbreak of the sexually transmitted disease," Fauci continued."

God is good, but the theological arguments for how people that hate us and want us dead or worse can still find heaven I find tiresome as all fuck, honestly.
I could simply do without all of this. What happens after we shuffle off this mortal coil is between each one of us and our Creator. That doesn't mean I have to sit here and wax poetic about how I might rub elbows with Bill Gates in the afterlife or hope for anyone's particular redemption. Some souls belong in hell.

I took out spaces.
Background: Utah has 4 Congressional districts, all gerrymandered to give moderate GOP advantage. Leftists hate that. So they got a state judge to throw out our congressional maps and instead use a map designed by some far left group in Virginia, guaranteeing them a seat that would make Stalin look conservative. The state GOP is gathering signatures to repeal the law the judge used. And now leftists are attacking the signature gatherers and destroying the gathered signatures. The comments to that article are all about "The GOP is trying to protect Trump so it's ok to hurt the gatherers!!! REEEE!"
I hope Ace or some blogger sees this. Just open, in your face violence now from leftists.

Because I had itchy palms in the midst of this, she informed me I might have syphilis and ordered bloodwork (which confirmed I did not have syphilis and I fired her). I called my husband as soon as I got in my car, enraged. Told him I will kill him, etc. although he has never given me anything to worry about, even on his frequent business trips. Poor man.

Unbelievable: Left-Wing Judge Dismisses "Murder By Use of Firearm" Charge Against Luigi Mangione to Spare the Left-Wing Hearth-Throb the Death Penalty
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
This judge was known to be a left-wing partisan who had already made a series of rulings favorable to the Deadly Dreamboat. Now she throws out two counts he's obviously guilty of just to keep the death penalty off the table.A federal judge has taken the death penalty off the table for Luigi Mangione, sharply narrowing the government's options in the high-profile case tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street in December 2024. U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett ruled Friday that prosecutors cannot pursue capital punishment, dismissing two federal counts that would have put the death penalty in play -- murder through the use of a firearm and using a firearm with a silencer to commit a crime of violence. Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges stemming from the fatal shooting, which authorities say occurred as Thompson was walking into a conference in Midtown Manhattan. While the death penalty is now off the table, Mangione still faces two federal stalking counts that carry a potential sentence of life in prison without parole if he is convicted.Lefties Love Luigi.
Man allegedly posed as FBI agent in apparent attempt to spring Luigi Mangione from prisonMinnesota Man, huh?
The Minnesota man was charged with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release Mangione
Another leftist achiever.
A Minnesota man was charged Thursday with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release an inmate, identified by a law enforcement source as accused killer Luigi Mangione. Mark Anderson, 35, was arrested at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn late Wednesday after prison workers asked to see his credentials and he produced a Minnesota driver's license and "claimed to be in possession of weapons," according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for thr Eastern District of New York. Anderson also claimed "that he was an FBI Agent in possession of paperwork 'signed by a judge' authorizing the release of a specific inmate," the complaint states. The inmate is not named in the court document. "Anderson also displayed and threw at [Bureau of Prisons] officers numerous documents," the complaint states. "They appear to be related to filing claims against the United States Department of Justice." In his backpack, BOP workers found a barbecue fork and a "round steel blade" that resembled a pizza cutter. Anderson had traveled to New York from Minnesota for a job opportunity that didn't work out, and had been working at a pizzeria, the law enforcement source said.

The judge noted that stalking could be done nonviolently, and that owning a silencer, although illegal, was not necessarily a crime of violence.
The problem is that when Congress wrote the law, they wrote it to say that Murder with the DP attached must have been carried out along with a separate crime of violence. That was a stupid way to write the law.

The best the prosecutors could come up with for the other "crime of violence" was "stalking." Meh. Even I'm not sure about that.
If the judge really wanted to tank the case, she could have ruled that the backpack search was illegal (it was done without a warrant). She didn't. She ruled that the very incriminating items in the backpack (manifesto, gun, etc) are admissible. That was a big win for the prosecution.
This creepy loser still faces charges in the case that could put him away for life. And there's the state prosecution for murder-two as well. As I've said here before, I still think this fucker is gonna walk, unfortunately.

Please see my comment above. The short answer is that the federal "murder" crime isn't really "murder" as we understand it. It's an odd-ball crime that requires murder the murder be committed during another "crime of violence." Very odd formulation.

Edit:there are explanations of the exemptions below
No death penalty is huge. Getting that evidence tossed would have really increased their chances at trial. Without it, there was still other evidence that could have been used to convict him, but this significantly increases his odds at being convicted.
I can't wait to read his book. The next presidential candidate needs to pardon him now. There's a list of hardened criminals Trump pardoned. IDGAF about this we go high when they low bullshit. Luigi deserves a pardon more than 100% of those people.
Pam Bondi jeoperadized this entire case by pushing for the death penalty. No judge would allow this to be a death penalty case. Luigi might fucking walk. That would be the worst failure of a US Attorney General in modern times.
Like it matters. The Establishment hates this man with burning passion. Even if he is found innocent they will never let him be. Smart at any rate. They would make him a martyr if they were to give him the death penalty.

Parse what he said carefully. What you describe is the Primary act of Violence. But the Federal Law also requires a secondary act of violence to have been committed along with the primary, or else it cannot be used.
It's a badly written law.
In judicial rulings "conservative" and "liberal" don't mean what we think they do politically. A "Liberal" judge will simply reinterpret the law to mean whatever he wants it to mean in order to keep things moving along.
A "conservative" judge will refuse to rewrite the law, since that's the legislature's job. He or she will simply toss the mess out of court and tell the Legislature to try again. If a criminal goes free - well that's the legislature's fault, not the judge's.
This is actually a pretty conservative legal ruling.

Yes, and also to get to the death penalty. The "regular" federal murder charge is still in the case, but doesn't carry the death penalty. It's kinda like murder-one versus murder-two in NY state. Both are "murder," but murder-one is murder plus an additional element.

Prosecution had no choice. That's what the statute requires to get to the death penalty. See my comment above. The "regular" murder charge is still in the case. But that charge doesn't carry the death penalty. In order to get to the death penalty, you need murder plus a separate crime of violence.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 30, 2026 04:02 PM (iFTx/)
Normally I resist the urge to say, there ought to be a law. In this case there ought to be a law that lets you get the death penalty for this type of crime.

2) American health care is the worst in the world

Okay, Mangione still faces two charges that bring life in prison without parole charges.
The specifics are that death penalty, as per Scotus, requires an aggravating factor above and beyond simple murder. Aka murder for money, murder for hate, etc.
The federal statute he was charged under was using a suppressor in commission of a murder and stalking prior to the murder. Judge concluded neither of those were predicate crimes of violence so the aggravating factor allowing the death penalty under the federal statutes no longer exist.
Scotus dealing with criminal history has been parsing which crimes are traditional crimes of violence and which are not. That district judge was interpreting those decisions to apply to the statute.

In federal law, to be death penalty eligible. You have to be doing a violent crime first, that then results in murder. Armed bank robbery, shoot a guard. At least thats what i heard. Oddly just shooting someone doesnt get you the chair in fed law. They tried to use stalking, a crime but judge said not violent. Eh.

It makes sense, because 90% of murders are state crimes. For the Feds to get involved...the Federal Government has to be involved in some way. On Federal property, against a federal employee, or (as alleged in this case) while committing another Federal violation. But, it sounds like the Federal violation here didn't meet the criteria/threshold needed. It doesn't seem that far off. The State can (and should) charge him with murder, but as for the feds...it's really not their case.

This is a real philosophical odd spot for them, because we have obviously gone way way to the left over the last few generations while things have gotten in their views worse.

There was a funny SF story of a planet where the natives were real peaceful but fanatics about golf. When an earthling goes on a crime rampage they do nothing, but when he tries to steal a jewel encrusted golf club one resists and he kills him. He's shocked that the crime was not murder, but interrupting the golf game. Two other aliens pledge to break the guy out....after one, or maybe three more rounds of golf....

Healthcare is a scarce economic good with price inelasticity of demand. (Did I say that right?) IOW: people will pay any $amount to anybody who they believe can save them from dying, and severe pain. They usually don't fret much when it has to be other people's money. So healthcare providers can raise prices at whim.

Even before the cult of the sniper took over the army has had an idea that infantry rifles should be able to hit something very far off, despite the fact that most gun exchanges are at pretty short ranges in reality. They did a lot of futzing with the M-16 because of that IIRC.

One thing I've tried to point out to LIVs is if they want the government to pay for healthcare it will determine what they get and what they don't, whereas if they pay they can make that choice.
"But the healthcare I want costs more then I can afford!" Ok. Now multiply that by 330 million. The problem doesn't go away.
Either individuals pay for their own care, or governments do and governments will always be incentivized to cut costs so they can spend the money they have on other things...like their own graft

Back in the 70s and 80s when I was a rambunctious kid who got injured a lot, I went to the emergency room probably 10 times. We did not have medical insurance and my parents were able to pay for it despite being relatively poor. Not only were the prices much lower but you could make arrangements with the hospital or doctor to make payments. Then the democrats decided that they could get people to vote for them by promising free healthcare and service has gone down and prices have gone up ever since.

No. Under federal NFA law, you also have to obey state laws so you can be charged federally if you have a suppressor or cause such to be transferred across state lines into a prohibited state.
Right now, Congress eliminated the $200 tax stamp requirement to acquire a suppressor (or an Short Barrelled Rifle) but that spending bill does not override the NFA federal requirements to be legal in the state you are purchasing in and registration with fedgov.

Mostly the Squad Automatic Weapon changed the lethality of M16 in close combat cuz they wanted the SAW effective on area targets out to 600m+. This created a need for a heavier 5.56mm round and full powder charge which turn the M16 into an ice pick at close quarters.

You legally now have a suppressor. I shoot with them all the time.

You can even make your own suppressors. As long as you file the forms and get approved. If you made one and didn’t, that would be illegal.

We will see if the prosecutors appeal. The more important issue is that the knapsack is in as evidence which means the gun and suppressor. So forensics can match the bullet to the gun confirming it is the murder weapon. Important in a circumstantial case.

I think suppressors are potentially illegal, at least if you don't have a license. It is also likely that using one in the commission of a crime increases penalties in NYC.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at January 30, 2026 04:15 PM (PYyV9)"
It's not a license, you need to get approval to pay the tax stamp and have it on the NFA registry.
The feds do not fuck around on those laws for us peasants, I (personally) know someone who ended up dead over them. They will kill your ass, and possibly any number of other people along the way.
Non-goverment possession of silencers is 100% banned in NY state, zero exceptions. This means they're federally banned also. At best one might pass through with them in a locked container to and from other states, per federal law, but in practice the state will arrest you if discovered and you will 100% go to jail and the feds won't help you even though the state prosecution is unlawful.

The death penalty survived in the USA because the public did not trust the government to keep these monsters off the streets. This is my opinion as someone who followed the arguments at the time and interpreted them thusly. The Left wanted to eliminate it and said "lifetime in prison is more just," but the public knew better -- they knew that "lifetime" really only meant until the next wave of progressive reforms to let criminals walk free.
Just adding this here for context. We have reached the point where the current progressive wave is even preventing the charges to get to a death penalty. For a terrorist assassination, no less.

Guess what else broke the bank WRT healthcare? Illegal immigration. Hospitals were/are forced to treat those who go to the ER. So there's an endless and (up until recently) exponentially growing pressure at the single most expensive component of healthcare and social services.
And as long as there's political pressure to save the "poor and oppressed" with concomitant taxing to send to the hospitals, the hospitals are fine with it. Business is good. Not really an optimal allocation of resources and forgetting any concept of fairness to it all. It can't help but fail.

If you want to take a silencer/suppressor across state lines, you have to file a form with the ATF notifying them and the suppressor has to be legal in the state to which you intend to take it.
The NFA is a retarded travesty of bullshit and should have been ruled unconstitutional years ago, but here we are.

I rate that claim as true. NYC in particular is vicious where even air travelers forced to go through La Guardia or JFK get stranded in transit and the airport demands that they pick up their firearms, suppressors, etc. Picking them up means you get arrested and charged.

Miller case in 1939 used the justification of taxes to allow the US government to do what law scholars believed was impossible under the Commerce Clause doctrine of the time. That being said, the NFA, under modern commerce clause understanding is likely to be found constitutional if people try to push it to Scotus. Note that the PLCAA also relies on Commerce Clause and that would be vulnerable along with FOPA if the NFA itself was overturned.
Machine guns are not going to be legalized for the masses by this Court and probably not by Congress either. IMHO, widely available suppressors and removal of SBR/Shotguns are more important anyway for most people.

It was developed. The M1 garand was originally, what, .276? It got retooled for WW2 because they wanted to use the mountians of 30-06 they had.
Dumb decision when they turned around and shoved more ammo into the sea in 1945 and 1946 than they fired in the war, out of pure laziness, rarher than secure, repareiate, or break it down.
5.56 is on the small end, and the M16 in particlular is problematic with small bolt lugs that make it hard to upgrade caliber, but overall it works. Nobody complains 5.45 isn't enough in Ukraine. It just isn't relevant in the big picture.

That wasn't my experience as gunner for the LAV-25. 25mm M242 Bushmaster Chain Cannon. Part of our Qual was at night, never had a problem with the flash blinding night vision. We didn't have thermals on the LAV-25 in the 90s but our LAV-ATs did. It was common to use them to spot targets and even adjust our fire and I can't recall them ever complaining either.
Poor ATs. Supposed to be our insurance against T-72s but their optics were so advanced that they were routinely being called up to the front of the pack to take a look-see. Back and forth all night long.

Damnit. My basic training buddy just died on the 13th. Buried on the 27th at the Central TX Veteran's Cemetary.
I'm going to have to stop and pay my respects to him at the end of March when I go to TX A&M.

I think it could be easily 30-40 million but I doubt 100 million figures.
From 2024 Census Bureau,
"April 9, 2024 — From 2010 to 2022, the nation’s foreign-born population increased by 15.6%. According to a new report The Foreign-Born Population in the United States: 2022 released by the U.S. Census Bureau today, the foreign-born population was 46.2 million (13.9% of the total population) in 2022 compared to 40.0 million (12.9% of the total population) in 2010."
So add in mebbe 20-30 million illegals to that total.

Plenty of resources out there to teach you to code for free if you want it. Start with an easy language and work your way up.
Open Source Python is often one language that teaches useful concepts. MariaDB is a useful SQL derivative that can teach you key database operations. Start with something that is massive but free like FEC campaign contribution databases. Then play around with them.
Learning R gives you some stats programming ability.
Easiest way to do it on the cheap is find a linux distribution (free to download) do live sessions with a live disc or usb, and run the various free compilers on that linux distro for your coding. R and Maria would require putting those also on the live CD/USB. Lots of free programming lessons/resources in Linux world. And Linux nowadays is a piece of cake to run compared with decades ago.
Reaching the point where Windows 11 is getting more troublesome to maintain than a Linux machine unless you gotta have Office 365 or certain windows only programs.

I found out yesterday, in researching Polygamy Porter, that the Wasatch Brewing Company was bought out by the company that owns monster energy drinks. And they closed down their downtown SLC location. Corporate pikers. Squatter's is one of my fave restaurants connected to one of their brewpubs. I hope it doesn't close eventually.

Doesn't work that way. Exclusionary rule only applies to illegal evidence acquired by government or its agents, not rando hackers. What would be a better attempt would be chain of custody but that can be cured with ancillary documentation.
Resist aka Hawaiian District judges are losing at an incredible rate now on appeal. And those appeals are being heard on a shorter and shorter timeline to the extent that the district judges issuing ridiculous opinions are getting stuffed in lockers only a couple of days later.

IAMAL but I believe that if evidence is obtained illegally it is admissible as long as law enforcement did not do the illegal act or pay for/set it up. If I break into a house to steal something and find a bunch of little kids tied up as sex slaves, I can tell the cops and they can act on it, use that in court. If the cops tell me to break in then its a problem.

Databrokers have to respond by deleting a lot of that information upon request. Google, for example, has a removal request from its search database of links for example. You can use several info removal firms either by paying or in the case of Optery, you can find out who has what for free and manually request deletion, Privacy Bee just tells you who has your data. Both have paid removal functions as well where they act on your behalf to remove the data and keep it removed during the subscription time.
Always whack a mole but if you work at privacy, you can limit what is released. Same with email accounts that allow aliased email addresses to be sprinkled about the internet at registration websites.

Depends on the state. But in some states, all you need is a license plate number and you can pull up all the registration info, including owner, VIN, etc.
You might need a subscription to a DMV service, but you'd be shocked how much private info you can find and it's all legal to get.
As a lawyer in a big firm, I had access to all kinds of background-search services. I knew party girls who would ask me to run names of guys they met. It was hilarious the info I was able to find.

Because the exclusionary rule remedy only applies if they use the evidence in court, not for investigations.
British though have a system where the coppers themselves, if they violate the law, can be sued or charged themselves on issues like trespass. Better by far than the exclusionary rule which the US is the main proponent of. Most jurisdictions lean more to the British model, than the US.

Spygate was 2007 timeframe when Belichick had his assistants videotape a Jets practice (which is technically against the rules)… the NFL subsequently intentionally destroyed the tapes so no one ever got to look at them… 2014 deflategate Tom Brady had some get let some air out of the balls to make them easier to throw but the big scandal is he subsequently lied to Goodell about it….

They got lucky with some really, really good child actors and 80s nostalgia but...by the 5th season they brought in a bunch of meh actors and dumped any pretense the show was really set in the 80s.

Yup. All of that is now available to the public. You do have to pay a service for it, but it's like $50. Even just a phone number can lead to the name and then a full background check.

Some of them, but a lot are required by law as public records (like your basic house layout). Being a PI is a lot easier than it used to be, but at the same time you cannot really write a gumshoe novel like they used to be. Its like writing James Bond novels in the modern era; they just don't work any more.

Don’t know about police departments, but I’m pretty sure a good percentage of the compromised accounts at the university I used to work for were from leveraging the help desk. At one point, they even had a database of passwords for one of the services, and would give out the existing password. So if it was a hack, the real user wouldn’t even necessarily know.
A couple of us managed to end that practice as soon as we found out about it, but other less obvious issues remained unresolved when I left. Insecurity questions were likely a major attack vector, since their entire purpose is to enable accessing an account without knowing the password.
Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at January 30, 2026 03:30 PM (EXyHK)

It's just a fake scam. They can spoof the number to make it look like it's from StopICE.
Think this through. If they’re texting people who’ve actually given the site their number, it means they have access to the user data.
Well here’s hoping we don’t get night of long knives’ed but that’s probably the way is going. Call your senators daily demanding the abolition of ice or it’ll be our heads.
What a depressing way to start the day. If you were just on the site viewing things then you are fine. People actually uploading licenses plates and locations are breaking federal law and they are currently looking to throw the book at people, so I would be worried.
Oh no the gov knows i know ICE is made of illegal criminals who will have to hide for the rest of their lives because of the crimes they've committed.
Hackers took over the website, took all the user data and sent it to law enforcement. whoever is on here saying to not worry is wild.
Fighting fascists comes with inherent risks. I say come and take it, dickweeds.

One of my favorite satires on this is when The Simpsons had a show with a new character: a skateboarding cool dog! Just to mock the "we need a new character" thing on TV shows.
Now we need a new satire about a show that has been on TV far too long and lost its way long ago. See also: South Park.

Depending on the state, the public databases give lots of information, even more if one is an ex con. Secretary of State, workers comp, ag department, Contractors' board, USDoT safety site (SAFER) and the state judicial department. Even more is the unclaimed property site, and there are a few others like Labor Contractor and Custodial registration in some states if you suspect there is a tie in to a specific industry.

It was on the WB I think, and then it merged with the CW and they meddled. The first two seasons had little executive meddling and are great. The CW meddling era is meh. But I'm glad fans rallied, and we got a Veronica Mars movie to wrap things up! Kind of.
They had talked about a spinoff where she joins the FBI. Would have been fun. The actress has Disney Frozen money now, and doesn't financially need to do all the show reboots like everyone else did just to pay the bills.

Kristen Bell was also on a long running prime time comedy/drama, The Good Place.
That's probably where most of her money comes from.
Long running network television gigs pay as well as the highest paid Hollywood stars.
The stars of Scrubs were making $75,000 per episode in the final season of 26 episodes. That's roughly $2 million.
Friends stars were making $1 million per episode.

Get your credit frozen at all three credit reporting services is my recommendation. You can always unthaw it briefly for loans and then refreeze it.
It is also relatively easy to contaminate databases by using various names for yourself, alias emails, lies on matters like birthdays on websites, etc. If they want data they shouldn't have to buy something, then feel free to lie away to screw with their resale of your data.
Using a glyph like the artist previously known as Prince would be a big database breaker. And you see some of those illegal characters used in voter registration databases on purpose so a routine query won't winkle them out.

IN interwar Germany the establishment right was unable to stop leftwing street violence and the establishment left generally helped their farther left brethren.
This led to the NAZIs/SA being one of the few groups willing and able to rumble back and brought them some measure of popularity.

The actress that played Robin decided her character was gay, and forced them to change the script to make her gay. Had she not, that could have been a really interesting love square. Instead we got her making out with a candy striper nurse in a closet.
And yes, the Duffer Brothers compromising on a streamlined vision in order to print more Netflix cash didn't help. I will say, the fourth season is my favorite! They made all the superfluous side characters actually have purpose and their own arcs. Tied things back together, only to mess it up again in season 5.

Court Rules that Carnegie Mellon University Can Be Held Accountable for Taking Qatar Money to Permit Antisemitic Hatred on Campus
From the Wall Street Journal: a student is suing Carnegie Mellon University. She says that she was harassed by antisemitic Muslims, but was discouraged from filing a complaint.
She is suing on the theory that Carnegie Mellon discriminated against her because they were paid $1 billion by Qatar to permit antisemitic attacks on campus. A judge refused to dismiss this complaint and says that a "reasonable jury" may well find that Carnegie Mellon allowed the brutalization of its Jewish students due to the Qatar bribe. So the case goes forward.
Eitan Fischberger
@EFischberger Newly unsealed federal court orders point to massive Qatari funding shaping Carnegie Mellon's behavior and enabling antisemitism on campus: 🔸 A federal judge said a reasonable juror could conclude that CMU's reliance on over $1 billion from Qatar motivated the university to accommodate donor expectations 🔸 Qatari entities helped fund the salary of CMU's DEI and Title IX coordinator, and the university was required to consult with the Qatar Foundation before hiring her 🔸 Multiple DEI officials involved in handling antisemitism complaints had work ties to Qatar, including trips, funding, or employment connected to the Doha campus 🔸 The court explicitly warned that Qatar and its affiliates could be a source of antisemitic influence on university policy and complaint handling 🔸 Similar contracts at CMU and Northwestern University require faculty and students to respect Qatari law, which criminalizes criticism of the Qatari government 🔸 Department of Education data shows Qatar is the single largest foreign funder of US universities by far, outpacing China and Saudi Arabia Academic freedom and student civil rights should not be contingent on appeasing foreign autocracies. Congress needs to take this problem seriously, fast.
Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79 To summarize: Carnegie Mellon took over $1 billion from Qatar and gave the Qatar Foundation a say in the hiring of their VP of DEI, and now the school is being sued by a Jewish student who says the VP of DEI discouraged her from filing a formal antisemitism complaint...yikes.

If they have a campus in Qatar, then fine. Follow the local laws there and if you don't like them, then don't do business in that locality.

I don't think she has to prove she was religiously discriminated against because of the Qatar bribe. I think all she has to do is prove that she was discriminated against because she is Jewish. It doesn't matter why. Put another way, I don't think "motive" is an element of a Title VI claim. But it certainly helps to have a motive. The bribe is a nice gift-wrapped motive.

It was for one of these online colleges that advertises heavily. It boiled down to, "sure, lots of people are saying college isn't worth it and are choosing to do something else instead, but we provide really good value so you should still consider us."
That's a a *huge* shift in approach. If they're taking that tack, they're probably hearing that a lot during recruitment. "College? Nah. GFY" must be increasingly common if they're now directly addressing it in advertising.
I hope that these guys as essentially a commercial college are just the first visible crack that ultimately brings down the colleges. Outfits like CMU are in a different category and will be immune to that kind of change, but most schools are not in that category.

Back in the day, I taught Administrative Law and our university had a contract to teach local government officials from China. There was always an intel minder in the all Chinese cohort classes. The other students would always defer to him and usually that student was the worst in the class relying on his classmates to get him through the class with a minimal passing grade. Saw that pattern for several years until the contract ended.

The DOJ’s charge has elevated what began as a state assault case into a serious federal prosecution.
This is for the guy that douched Omar with vinegar. It pisses me off not because of the elevated charge, but because the protestors attacking ICE agents aren't getting similar treatment.

I read a really interesting essay from Postcards from Barsoom on substack about the loss of prestige when institutions become overwhelmingly female, and how universities are right at the cusp.
I think what will happen is a few top ones will survive but most of the credentialing will move to online programs. When you just need the price of paper saying you finished the value difference is just too large to sustain.

Khasshoggi, instead of his uncle Adnan, the arms dealer, was a registered agent of Qatar in the US and basically slapped his name on Qatar ghostwritten PR statements as a 'journalist'. Basically a front man for the Al Thani family that was also stirring up trouble in Saudi royal succession at the time.
MBS took it personally and had Khashoggi painfully wacked by Saudi intel peeps.
Wasn't reported much here but the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf States don't much like the Al Thanis and at one point during the Trump I term, I think, threatened to invade and remove them.
Wiki
"In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, the Maldives, Mauritania, Senegal, Djibouti, the Comoros, Jordan, the Tobruk-based Libyan government and finally the Hadi-led Yemeni government severed diplomatic relations with Qatar and blocked Qatar's airspace and sea routes along with Saudi Arabia blocking the only land crossing over its relations with Iran, Al-Jazeera reporting negative information about other GCC states and Egypt and the country's alleged support of Islamist groups."

There's a good example of this in Canada. Not much of a Jordon Peterson fan, but he was ordered to have a series of "sensitivity training" sessions which is another name for "re-education" which he gladly stated he was willing to attend, and planned on streaming. However, no one was willing to go up against him in that situation, so it's still pending for well over a year now.

Until they get taxed too.
Democrats can no longer actually do things in office like reduce congestion, etc. by building roads so instead they will simply take the taxes and fritter them away on their constellation of ngos and useless government sinecures for half wits.
Simply the Democrat party has become a dysfunctional racket to where the insiders are enriched and the rest of the population can f*ck right off. I think it is because these state and local governments no longer rely on actual votes from the precincts but easy to manufacture ballots and ballot fraud.

People are focusing on the fact she is hinting that something bad should happen to people that disagree with her but I want to focus on the other part.
How does she know right wingers are wrong? She didn't give specifics, but this generally falls into one of two categories
1) Philosophy/morality - leftists will claim with a straight face that if conservatives don't support "trans rights" or "gay marriage" or any number of leftist goals they are not morally wrong but factually wrong.
2) The narrative cocoon - the other side of this is leftist disavow any information that does not come out of the approved leftist curated narrative sources. So COVID did not come out of a Chinese lab, the clot shot had no side effects, and Haitian immigrants did not eat wildlife in OH. Why? Well the approved documents say so!

You're confusing "computer science" and "programming".
While there are areas of overlap, those aren't the same at all.
It's been a while since I read my copy but to the best of my knowledge K&R doesn't touch on algorithmic complexity at all, or for that matter anything other than the most basic algorithms.
It's a programming manual. A damned good one -- it's a model of clarity and conciseness that others should aspire to emulate, even after all this time -- but still a programming manual.
If you want to teach yourself *computer science*, you're gonna need Knuth, Sedgewick, or CLRS (or however many other authors they've added by now).

"a Jewish student of Israeli descent, alleges she was subjected to “pervasive anti-Jewish discrimination” during her time at the university.
The five-count complaint, filed by the Lawfare Project on Canaan’s behalf, claims systematic antisemitic behavior and abuse beginning in 2018 by CMU faculty and administration.
The alleged abuse began when Mary-Lou Arscott, studio professor at CMU’s School of Architecture and associate head for design fundamentals, purportedly denied Canaan a homework assignment extension so she could attend an Oct. 29, 2018, memorial service for victims of the Oct. 27 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
In 2022, the complaint alleges, Arscott commented on a project Canaan created about the conversion of a public space into a private space through an eruv, and said a wall in the project looked like the wall Israelis used “to barricade Palestinians out of Israel.” Canaan also alleges that Arscott said she should instead focus on “what Jews do to make themselves such a hated group.”
Canaan claims she reported Arscott’s behavior to her studio professor who told her not to worry because Arscott wouldn’t be grading her. Cont.

When Canaan complained, other professors turned on the student, telling her to stop “acting like a victim” and that they would not “be an advocate for the Jews,” the complaint alleges.
Lawfare Project attorney Ziporah Reich said Arscott is an “extremely influential” person at CMU. Riech noted that another professor, whom Canaan turned to for help, said she was reticent to speak up against Arscott because Arscott helped her get hired at CMU and she “needed to be careful about what she did.”
The lawsuit lists detailed reports Canaan allegedly made to various school administrators who either ignored her pleas, failed to take any action to protect her, punish her abusers, or in the case of the schools Title IX coordinator, “aggressively discouraged Canaan from filing a formal complaint which would have trigged an investigation of Arscott."

The TV personality of someone being openly conservative is why. Easy for some people to feel the person on the screen is fighting for them. Harder to do that with mere words in a book or magazine. Buckley's opponent was mainly the Soviet Union style communism on behalf of the nat sec state, not liberalism mutating into leftism as such. I found Buckley absurb doing things like smoking marijuana outside the legal limits of the US so he could say he never violated the laws of the US.

When I was going to grad school at (famous CS university) way back in the previous century (though not as far back as 1976) one of the labs I considered joining required that you be a US citizen, as they had lots of DoD funding. This lab had a surprising amount of physical security as well (no armed guards, but maybe only a couple of levels down from that).
The prof who ran the lab described their current research something like "well, suppose someone goes missing in the woods, like their car breaks down or their plane crashes or whatever... it would be nice to have a program that could look at aerial photos and locate vehicles among the visual clutter, so that a rescue operation could be carried out."
Yup. The only reason DoD would spend cubic fucktons of money is to improve search and rescue operations. There's no other reason they could be interested in finding vehicles concealed in terrain. Nope.

It was really well done, went a bit overboard to be cool, but it was overall well written and very well directed. Very beautiful to look at and listen to. There is a reason that nearly every major star in the past 30 years were guest stars on the show, often before anyone knew them (like Ed O'Neill, Jimmy Smits, Ben Stiller, Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Julia Roberts, Dennis Farina, etc).

While Jobs didn't invent the tech directly, he was one smart motherfucker. There were literally dozens of Apple-equivalent computer companies at the time. Jobs made the difference there.
Gates, on the other hand, lucked into getting the contract to supply what became MS-DOS/PC-DOS to IBM (as I recall, his dad had contacts there). He didn't write MS-DOS. He bought it. The guy who actually wrote it had hacked it together in a couple of weeks so he could have a rudimentary OS for the new 8086/8088 processor. Gates offered him $50K for it (conveniently failing to mention that IBM wanted to buy a gazillion copies). My dude was all "$50,000 for two week's work? Fuck yeah!"
Then Gates turned around and stiffed IBM by making it a requirement that he be able to sell the OS to other companies. Result: IBM got its lunch eaten by PC clones.
Gates isn't stupid either. He's smart and ruthless.

Even better... in a recent dump of new Epstein File docs, Jeffery talks to Bill about how Bill asked him for the names of antibiotics to slip to Melinda without her knowing, so she wouldn't realized he'd cheated on her. And talked about how Epstein arranged for Bill to be introduced to the Russian hookers.
When it comes to eating burgers and schtupping women, Bill Gates apparently has zero self restraint.
Epstein was being pressured by Bill to resign from boards, I think one was the bill and Melinda gates foundation. In the emails he refuses.
I will say this, Epstein writes very properly. I thought his emails would sound crass, and instead he sounds like a Victorian gentleman. Like Charles Augustus Milverton plotting his next blackmail scheme, before Sherlock Holmes can foil him.

Corrupt Jihadist Antifa AG Keith Ellison Will Notify ICE When Wanted Criminal Illegals Are Being Released from Jails
Homan says he'd like to reduce the federal presence in the corrupt foreign shithole city of Minneapolis, and who can blame him.
But he does have a condition: Minnesota must give up its sanctuary state illegality. Looks like they caved.
White House border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that Minnesota county jails will begin sharing information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they are scheduled to release illegal immigrants who have criminal backgrounds. During a press conference, Homan explained that Attorney General Keith Ellison "has clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks so I can take custody upon the release from the jail." This announcement marks a significant shift in the state's approach to working with federal immigration authorities. Previously, they refused to allow local law enforcement to collaborate with ICE and Border Patrol to apprehend and remove illegal immigrants -- even those who committed violent crimes. Homan said the Minnesota Department of Corrections has consistently honored ICE detainers and stressed that any reduction in the number of federal agents in Minnesota would be contingent on continued cooperation from state and local officials. "As we see cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen," he said.
🚨 BREAKING: Tom Homan confirms Minnesota county jails will now NOTIFY ICE when public safety threat illegal aliens are being released, so they can be transferred to ICE agents

That right there is a night in the blackpill box. You are correct, of course, that if they think they can cheat, they will. That's why the withdrawal of ICE is conditional on compliance. I'd bet that Homan will be watching closely.

I don't know how it was not illegal for state of MN to tell the county jails that they could not cooperate with ICE before.

But the funny thing is that ICE has no obligations to meet the nutjobs there. ICE has a broad number of sanctuary jurisdictions to target and is not obligated to show up where the mutants and Dem politicians want them to.

It’s mainly because the want the ICE presence reduced so they can keep illegals who are not criminals or have a valid removal order.
By the way, that’s what Democrats along with a Republican assist are trying to do with the DHS funding. They want to change the removal process and reduce it to zero by changing the judicial order and process.

I suppose it depends on what "sanctuary" means. If it means local LE doesn't have to cooperate with ICE, I believe there's at least a case to be made there. If it means obstruction and attack, then there is no case to be made.

Which is why I read Homan's statement as saying he wants to see compliance before he pulls ICE out. He's no fool.
Even if they don't comply and nothing really changes, this is still a big win for Trump and the good guys. Part of the reason for the big push in MN was to deter other assholes across the country. Watching MN cave like little bitches is gonna demoralize the rest. Notice already that outside of some lunatic places like Portland, there hasn't been much anti-ICE activity. And there there was, the idiots were immediately arrested (such as at the hotel in NYC).

I only wonder what it is that Republicans agreed to change in the DHS funding bill. You know, the one that was already negotiated before they shot that commie twit.
If Murkowski, Cassidy and Tillis are involved it’s nothing good.

I think there is an interesting thing that happened with this. The left has been arguing that ICE is just randomly deporting people and that's why we need a full judicial process.
But you'll notice they haven't been able to identify a deported citizen.
Which means the current process works fine because the only "due process" illegals are due is "can you prove you are in fact a citizen or a legal alien?"

This is a war, not a battle, so MNPLs was a tactical victory for Trump, while enforcement continues elsewhere.
The effects are being felt in housing/rental prices, labor markets, and decreased crime/ods. That is the strategic level, not whether OPTICs of Dems braying victory like the jackasses they are about MNPLs.
I think it is a problem that reveals the Dem violent left can concentrate on this or that city and mobilize outside resources to do so but at the risk of exposing their entire network of interrelated criminals and politicians.
Tet offensive did teh same in Vietnam to the Viet Cong. It never was much of a threat after it got exposed and crushed. It was the NVA and US Congress fecklessness that threw away S. Vietnam to the commies in 1975.

Probably not after the ruling that just happened. It's been six years since Chaz/chop terrorized downtown Seattle. But the city was just determined by a jury to be on the hook for the killing of a boy during the 2020 lawlessness. And the dad was awarded THIRTY MILLION. So the city might think twice before allowing summer of love 2: woke boogaloo. They don't want several repeat court cases. It's fine if the peasants revolt, but not if the city is on the hook for actual money.
Two sad things are that Jenny Durkan retired with no consequences and a golden parachute, and the taxpayers are shelling this out, not her. And that no matter how much money is rewarded, a boy is dead. No amount of money will bring him back.
@KatieDaviscourt

In the end, stasis of status quo is more likely than any substantial changes to ICE. And the Dems need 4 votes from the GOP in reconcilation, not three as Vance can break ties.
Then you have the House. Simply put, I think Trump made the deal because big things going on in Iran theater right now and enough data was gathered in MN to create serious risks for MN pols if they persist in the Resist.

Some surely will play anyway, but some may well not. "MN tried this, got nothing, capitulated, and there was no broader wave of support. Not playing. Just call the feds and let them pick this {murderer|rapist|drug runner|kidnapper|con artist} up."

Not quite true, it exposed all the fraud networks, exposed the violent raging assholes and their funding, did not please the rank and file Minnesotas for 2026 elections, foreign criminal assholes were still deported from MNPLs, and so on.
Sort of like the Battle of Coral Seas, a tactical victory by the Trump administration in service of larger strategic moves throughout the country.
Resist! as a strategy is failing as the self deportation train has reached now about 3 million with wages increasing, housing prices and rentals falling, less inflation, and remarkably less crime and drug deaths by od.
Getting hung up on personalities or specific instances instead of watching the overall nationwide indicators is a good way to blackpill oneself. MNPLs is not that important.

Yes. But this will be delayed at least 30 days with dosages around 5g per day.
You can frontload for 2-3 weeks with 2x-4x this dosage, safely, and speed that up.
Your muscles will use up the majority of the dosage until they have absorbed all they can...only then will there be sufficient stores to spur cognitive healing/growth.

Logical, but very likely unwise. Both in itself and because there is not much peril for the economy from either, especially the latter if they would simply adopt a flexible and "transitional" strategy (i.e. give industries a timetable and help to become illegal labor-free).
Because seeing how degraded the country is (the surveys show jaw-dropping ignorance and gullibility across the board on "is ICE being too mean??"), the 90% of the problem involving "he's been here 15 years and he's nice and works hard!!", there's no basis to expect a serious effort to deal with it.

Actually pretty big wins in some areas, smaller in others and a few losses/casualties.
Just like a war, no engagement always results in the good guy winning but you have to look at the overall course of the war to determine whether you are winning or losing.
The Democrats are not winning, not advancing their policies nor winning public arguments.

It could be real, but as I understand how IV works, they do a lot of genetic and other testing during the pregnancy.

Yep and it destroyed all the remaining Obama and Biden base level spending levels. Any new CR will be on the new GOP levels, not the Dems old ones from years before.
As I see, too many people are seeking perfection, eager to claim defeat before any evidence, and ignoring any positive evidence to the contrary. Too many people are hooked on the black pill and simply can't or won't spit it out.
And a bill funding DHS can specifically go through reconcilation which makes policy changes impossible to do if they have any substantive content more than budgetary impact.
No filibusters on spending bills under reconcilation.
The other move would be put SAVE Act into the DHS spending bill and force it through by narrowing the filibuster.
Let the Dems (and weak GOPe types) try to then oppose both Voter ID and Immigration Enforcement.

Main point was that something is driving an approach to a pretty desperate and weak Dem opposition (they were initially quite panicked over their "shutdown" strategy, as they should have been, since it was likely to fail and further cement their deserved image as insane arsonists opposing normal LE activity). If the (permanent) uselessness of the GOP in the form of the usual cretins was the driver, then so be it.
But I think it's an unwise fixation on not interrupting what I think is an unstoppable (excluding major black swans) economic surge that is building.

All surveys are pretty much garbage at this point. You can take my professional word on that as someone who has done field work surveys for fedgov, have colleagues that are pollsters, etc. AAPOR saw this coming in the 2000's as a profession and now it is here.
Basically the whole RDD model is fatally broken in a world of cell phones, area codes not matching the phone, contaminated sampling methods, and magic weighting where the coasts are overemphasized in sampling and a persistent shy Tory effect is obvious.
Polling is broken and not likely to be fixed anytime soon. Ditto for voting given persistent patterns of Democrat fraud in cheat by mail states like CA.

Greg Guttfield waved some papers during The Five and said it had the names of women murdered by illegals...that should be made public.
After all, if Renee Good and that cashew-headed agitator had been murdered by illegals, no one would know their names. There'd be no big funerals or protests, no calls for a nationwide strike.
and that list should include people killed by illegals who are drunk drivers or unlicensed truck drivers.
Even if the list isn't completely accurate, it will raise awareness and give the families of the deceased a small measure of vindication or closure.

Ellison playing "just the tip, I promise" with this strikes me as pretty likely.
You're missing the whole picture. Antifa nationwide has had severe damage done to their infrastructure by white-hat hackers this week. Several of the ICE trackers are down and have had their entire user list extracted and sent to the FBI, DHS, and ICE. Similarly, Antifa's central dispatch system was completely destroyed, but not before its user list was extracted and sent to authorities.
Elected Democrats are on those lists. Mostly low-level, but not all. Also, following Cam Higby, lots of people have gotten onto the various Signal chats and leaked stuff, and an actual mole has leaked Antifa's training and tactics manuals. There is actual panic going on, and that was before the Minnesota cops had arrested them two days in a row.

The only concession Homan got was that Ellison won't bring charges against the people who run the jails if they turn over criminal illegals in their custody. Meanwhile the entire government will be telling those same people 9behind the scenes) that they will have no future if they do it. Unfortunately, Homan is just trying to paper over a clear retreat by Trump.

That, by the way, puts the police and sheriffs in handcuffs. If they hand over illegals, the mob comes for them, if they don't ICE comes in.
Honestly, I think the police would prefer to take on the mob. They know the dirt bags they have in their jails and would like nothing better to ship them home - it makes their jobs much easier in the long run.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 01/30/2026
On the heels of a statewide mandate requiring all school bus purchases in New York State be electric by 2027, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely, in an attempt to conserve battery life on their electric school buses. The kids are coming home saying their bus is freezing cold and the parents are giving them hand warmers. “The heaters on the bus run off the same electricity as the bus itself,” said Scott Ziobro, a former school board candidate and parent who has children who go to school in the district. “They were told that it drains the battery capacity of the bus itself.”Meanwhile across the country in Los Angeles: “Electric school bus catches fire in Los Angeles, driver hospitalized” [KTLA – 12/10/2025] The header picture is the electric Blue Bird school bus that spontaneously combusted into a runaway thermal fire. Fortunately, no children were on the bus. Unfortunately, the driver of the bus had to be hospitalized. A short video of the fire is below. The high priests of the Climate Church are more than willing to sacrifice your children in such a conflagration to appease their angry climate God.
If you own a 2025 Volvo EX30, the Swedish automaker wants you to park your subcompact crossover outside due to a fire risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently announced a recall for the EV after it was determined that some examples of the EX30 have high-voltage batteries potentially susceptible to short-circuiting and overheating. Thus, owners are advised to “park outside and away from structures and limit their charge to a maximum of 70% until the recall repair is complete.”
“VW Cancels ID. Buzz For 2026 As Dealers Warn It Might Be Over” [CarScoops – 12/19/2025]
A Volkswagen spokesperson confirmed the situation to Carscoops, stating, “Following a careful assessment of current EV market conditions, we have made the strategic decision not to move forward with [model year 2026] ID. Buzz production for the U.S. market.”
Volkswagen produced a $60k EV camper van that does not have the range to go into the wilderness for camping. Who’d have guessed it would fail?

They were some of the best-selling PHEVs in the U.S., but the Jeeps in particular had quality issues and faced numerous recalls. In November, Jeep recalled its PHEVs over a battery issue and warned owners not to park inside or charge their vehicles until a fix became available.Jeep has a great reputation that it has harmed with its failed EV efforts. It is an embarrassment that it is telling its customers who paid a premium for plug-in capability that they cannot now use that plug-in feature because it might burn their houses down. Refocusing on building great gasoline-powered SUVs would go a long way toward rehabilitating the damage done to the iconic brand.
Even if your Chinese EV doesn’t lock you in against your will, there’s a high probability that it is a spy-mobile in service to the Chinese communist government.

Sure, the company claims it's refocusing manufacturing capacity on making humanoid robots (lol), and sure the company will continue to sell other EV sleds.
But make no mistake that this is a bombshell. Tesla ending production of its flagship models is like BMW ending production of its 3 series or Porsche ending production of its 911. The S and X are what put Tesla on the map.

But make no mistake that this is a bombshell. Tesla ending production of its flagship models is like BMW ending production of its 3 series or Porsche ending production of its 911. The S and X are what put Tesla on the map.

Elon Musk announced on January 28, 2026, that Tesla will cease production of the Model S and Model X vehicles next quarter to pivot toward an AI-driven, autonomous future focused on manufacturing Optimus humanoid robots. The Fremont factory will be converted to produce these robots, though Model 3 and Y, and the Cybertruck remain in production
Sounds to me like Elon is moving resources away from EV cars. If he's doing it, the entire market is fixing to implode.

The "S" *kind* of might make sense. It was where Musk had to work out it's "production hell" and as the first high-volume product, it surely resulted in lots of lessons learned - and things they'd like to change in a new car that is easier to produce.
The "X" is surprising. That one's a mover.

The EV market is shrinking, and the Chinese are making major inroads into it. Not in USA, but in Europe and (duh) China. The best-selling EV in the world is not a Tesla. It's a BYD.

It gets complicated but Scotus has been going through federal sentencing laws (lot of enhancements like stalking plus murder or using a firearm silencer to commit murder which create a death penalty case). The district judge ruled as a matter of law, using a silencer to commit a murder or the stalking to commit a murder are not predicate crimes of violence).
So the death penalty goes out the window leaving only the remaining serious charges related to the assassination which are punishable with life without parole (parole no longer exists in federal system).
This is a fine point of law and turns on Congressional statutes creating these charges and this is likely to be appealed to the 2nd Circuit which may very well reverse the district court decisions.
Scotus lately has been going through sentencing statutes regarding what is and what is not a crime of violence for sentencing purposes and that is what that district judge is relying upon in a novel opinion. That is you can stalk someone without violence (so the predicate crime is non violent), or having a suppressor itself is non violent. So these cannot be used as predicates to death penalty.

The "focus on automation" is key.

The federal "murder" crime is fucked up. It's more of an "enhanced" crime to get to the death penalty.
Technically, I think the judge was probably right that "stalking" isn't a valid prerequisite. I'm not sure if the prosecutors can recharge him or not. He still faces serious charges regardless, enough to put him in prison for life.
But this was not a good development. I continue to believe this cocksucker is gonna walk.

There are parallel state and federal charges, which I didn't think was a good idea from the beginning. But it seemed everyone wanted to get in on the action.
This creep is still facing second-degree murder charges in state court.
The problem is that the evidence is mostly (if not all) circumstantial, and the botched initial IDs and chain of custody issues will give any jury who is even remotely sympathetic an easy excuse to find reasonable doubt. I don't think they'd even need to reach nullification.

The backpack, mainly. To begin with, they had no warrant to search it, and that's where they found the most incriminating evidence (manifesto, gun, etc). Then there were issues with how they secured the backpack.
The prosecution has admitted there were issues here, but is arguing it's not material because this evidence would have been found anyway. Not a good look.
It's possible the judge could rule all of this stuff inadmissible.

It gets complicated because federal criminal statutes are like a layer cake. But Scotus has been wrestling with statutory sentence enhancements due to criminal history and often that means literally going back to sources like Blackstone on charges like burglary to determine whether or not it should be considered a violent crime. That in turn comes from whether violence might be involved. So you get decisions where burglary without a person present is considered a non violent crime while burglary while the house is occupied gets treated as violent for sentencing enhancements.
And because this includes state crimes for criminal history calculations, this means that Scotus has been poring over which state crimes are crimes of violence and which are not in the states.
Far too much to go into in gray boxes but the whole state of criminal sentencing is in a flux now at Scotus for at least a decade or so.

Huh? How was I unaware of this (I must be watching too many old television crime and court dramas)?
"The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 eliminated federal parole for individuals convicted of federal crimes on or after November 1, 1987."
While used interchangeably in common use, there are two distinct things: parole and probation. Parole was abolished. There is still probation. Under parole ,if you were sentenced to 120 to 180 months, after the 120 you would argue your case in front of the parole board.
Probation is set at sentencing (120 months in prison plus 60 months probation); The only thing adjustable is about 10% of the prison time can be excused for "good time, not being a problem inmate)

The yellow smoke was thick, filled the entire apartment and made its way out in the hallways. This was not a small complex either. We were first floor, fire alarms go off and the FD came and had to put these giant fans in the door ways to clear the smoke. Aprt had to go outside while they did this, it was winter time in central IL....and 2am. Corn Dog bandit came out with the fried dog in his hand waving it around like some trophy. It was about an inch long and black as a dolls eyes.

LOL. Of course. And the real point will be to impose a mileage tax on everyone. With continuous GPS trackers to determine the mileage. For "efficiency" of course.
There is another way. Tennessee did it. They estimated average equivalent ICE fuel economy, estimated average miles driven by most people, the equivalent of gasoline consumed, and the revenue associated with the tax that wasn't paid. Came to about $100 bucks and change. That is now the EV registration fee.
Perfect? No. Fair? Reasonably. Invasive? No.

Don Lemon Arrested, But Not for the Sexual Assault He Was Credibly Accused of
Don Lemon's shit-eating grin just got 10% more literal.
Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents ... in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters. He was one of four people arrested by federal agents early Friday "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi later confirmed in a statement.A lot of J6 people acted as journalists during the J6 "insurrection." They reported, they recorded, they livestreamed. They were told that a claim of "journalism" does not excuse lawbreaking. Leftists, as usual, want a different rule for themselves and their enemies. They want "journalism" to be a Guild with Special Rights and Privileges and, of course, they want the power to say who is and who is not a "journalist." Only leftists may join the Guild and have these Special Rights and Privileges. This attempt to turn themselves into nobles and us into peasants must be resisted with all force.
Lemon spent the night in jail and is expected to make a first appearance in court sometime Friday, according to Brian Stelter, the chief media analyst for Lemon's former network. His attorney maintained that the frequently fired correspondent was there as a journalist, making it "constitutionally protected work."
Of course.
"The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable," said Lowell, who also represented disgraced former first son Hunter Biden.
... It was not immediately clear what charges he is facing. However, Lemon has been accused of violating the Enforcement Act of 1871, which bans interference with certain civil rights -- such as voting or serving on juries -- or, in this case, the right to practice one's religion. Also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, it was originally created to prevent the racial terrorist group from paramilitary vigilantism. Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, also said the DOJ was considering charging Lemon under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a 1994 federal law that also covers interference with religious worship, as well as conspiracy statutes.Another "journalist" who took part in the storming of the church has also been arrested.
A journalist who was with disgraced ex-CNN host Don Lemon when he allegedly stormed a Minnesota church has shared video of the moment agents came to also arrest her Friday morning. "There's agents at my door," independent journalist Georgia Fort said as she livestreamed the arrest on Facebook Live. "As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Fort added. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press." At one point, a female arresting officer can be heard telling Fort to hurry up and come outside. It remains unclear what charges Fort and Lemon are facing over the Jan. 18 demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been ARRESTED by federal agents in Los Angeles in connection with the anti-ICE mob that stormed a church in Minneapolis during a Sunday service.

MAGA have always been obsessed with Don Lemon for reasons which are hard to understand (other than the most obvious one). What crime are they alleging?
go after the agents that are murdering people in cold blood--NO
Go after a journalist reporting a news story--YES
The argument is that the "protesters" were in violation of the FACE act. Conservative journalists that entered the capital building just to film were still arrested, charged, and convicted. So they're arguing the same should apply to Lemon. (Weird...no responses to this comment...)
Imagine if journalists actually stood up to Trump. MSM sugarcoats everything with Trump Admin and they're still getting arrested!
The problem is conservatives keep glossing over an important fact: the requirement of force or threat of force being used. No way in hell does protesting or even shouting during a service rise to that threshold so long as nobody was physically prevented from coming or going.

Despite being insane and unhinged, Reddit has a few interesting informatio nuggets on this:
Nikki Minaj, who apparently has been a long time undocumented alien in the US, buttered him up, gave Trump a pile of money, and got an oval office visit and a 'gold card'. He is 100% pay to play, something he accused Hillary of being, and he accused Biden of being.
He railed against Venezuela, murdering alleged drug haulers at sea, abducting their president, but at the exact same time pardons the biggest coke trafficker we had in custody.
And his maga base praises him....
Minaj is probably trying to get a pardon for her brother. He's currently serving 25 to life for raping an 11 year old over an extended period of time. Also, Trump gifted Minaj the $1 million dollar gold card. So he screwed the citizens out of that million dollars in revenue without asking us!

An important case. Reportedly, "his attorney," Abbe Lowell, called the arrest an "unprecedented attack on the First Amendment."
Conspiracy to deprive someone of their rights.
Interfering by force with someone's First Amendment rights (specifically related to the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act).

It would have been over in short order and they would have had a very bad day.

battered conservative behavior. It still nips at me from time to time. Easier to crash out and dismiss than to have faith and take the leap.
But, some of this stuff is people just not wanting to win or being afraid of what happens next (momentum). If things start to swing "Our" way "we" might have to actually do some things that make us uncomfortable. Even if it means winning.
Once people start to feel comfortable with winning...critical mass can be reached. Rank and file "Cookout" Republicans start to join up, put their spatula's down and go to a school board meeting or run for town council.

They know this. That’s why every issue is DefCon 1 at all times and all places. They do not cede ground, ever. Screech like wounded eagles over trivialities, amplified to eleventy by the “press”.
Normal decent peaceable people do not like conflict and are willing to “compromise” to keep the peace. The leftists just keep pushing, and the politics of personal destruction serve as a gatekeeping to discourage quality individuals from entering politics. They will destroy anyone who gets in the way. A more vile and petty group is tough to envision.

So what happened? From what I was reading, they (DOJ) couldn't go judge shopping so their only other option was a grand jury indictment. Did that judge flip? Did the higher court flip? Was my understanding about judge shopping wrong?

We should get that over-turned while "our" side is still in power. The 1st Amendment attaches no "distance" test nor does it require assembly to be "not in front" or any such silliness. One can't block entry or egress, and one cannot trespass, and that's it. Anything beyond that shouldn't pass constitutional muster.

The power of narratives put out by media commenting types (right or left) has enormous effect on about 80-85 percent of the population. Much of which is because they have outcome preferences but not specific policy preferences to achieve those outcomes. And the media provides narratives to explain why this or that is not working or this or that is with pseudo logic (pseudo dialectic).
To ideologues (not in the pejorative sense) narratives in the media (and by those around us) have little power. Easiest definition is they act like legal advocates for their side in court, not for the other side with a cohesive explanation of how the law applies to the particular facts in a situation. Just so for ideologues in a broader sense. Apply your axioms to the facts.
Ideologues (on the right and left) look for opportunity and refutation even in the darkest hours. That is because they have their own mental system of how the world works and what are the key variables that matter.

Not me. It was running away. I suppose anything's possible, but my read is this: silver was undervalued for a good long while, and started trying to find its real price point during COVID. It spiked, leveled off, and spiked again.
I expect it'll find its new floor soon. Doesn't matter to me, it will almost definitely be well over twice where I bought in.
I think a lot of the craze was people who jumped in around $70/ozt and wanting to see their own investment double. They'll likely end up with modest gains or losses, and a nice little chunk of savings out of the bargain.
But I think people who bought in over the last two weeks will end up feeling sad.

At $70, it was still something like a 174 percent increase over a year prior. That is why I mentioned it was a speculatory bubble, probably due to momentum and a notion, correct or not, of contracts not matching physical holdings.
I think a lot of the metals investment vehicles play fast and loose with physical holdings so entirely possible they were playing games on the options market with their supposed reserves.

BTW, belatedly saw your cutting response to one of my flippant comments a couple days ago criticizing Tucker Carlson, blaming him for causing followers to believe that "Winston Churchill started WW II."
What I left out was not that he makes that claim, only that he platformed some loser (didn't even know his name, but I heard parts of the interview -- so looked it up: Darryl Cooper) who does ahistorically make that claim.

Hard to avoid being swamped as these narratives are constructed by very clever people, (just like some trial lawyers are in court to sway a jury).
And most people have loved ones, friends, commenters, etc. that reinforce whatever narrative is being put out. Hard to remain objective in such matters at times.
Religion helps when you realize that while people have free will to choose good or evil, the Lord plays with loaded dice to shape outcomes to his will. And he has an interesting sense of humor.
Plus he is the master of the narrative--the Bible is a perfect example. The sheer cohesiveness of that narrative and its interconnecting parts cannot be a product of nature as it had purportedly about 50 plus authors, and 2000+ years of history.
It is only his narrative that matters at the end of the day, not the media, not friends, loved ones or family, but his will.

When did this vogue start of calling peasants the lowest of the low? It wasn't always understood that way.
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
- The Deserted Village
Also, Chesterton praised the US as being ruled by a "free peasantry".
Really, it means the same as "yeoman". Or "kulak". Those are things the commies hate; why should we join them?

That will pucker more buttholes than the LeMon arrest.
Saw on X last night that one of the people doing the license plate traces was a tow truck "business" owner, who only started it last September (so appears to be for the purpose of accessing license plate data via a legitimate means). Interesting.
A lot of thought and planning was put into this, and I'm guessing it will lead right back to DC, to laid off USAID and other international NGOs (US Institute of Peace) who have been messing with foreign governments for years.

They won't. Democrats have nothing concrete to talk about to the general public because like Virginia shows, their taxes to the limit, troons everywhere, and letting criminals run free is not a popular platform. So they, like a defense attorney of a notorious criminal, engage in fault finding, lying, and other fake narratives to obscure the truth. The defense lawyer accuses the cops of being criminals for example.

======
"Judge Margaret Garnett ruled Friday to dismiss two charges against Mangione, for murder through use of a firearm and use of a firearm with a silencer to commit a “crime of violence.”
The murder count was punishable by the death penalty, so the “chief practical effect” of Garnett’s ruling is that a jury will no longer consider whether Mangione should be sentenced to the death penalty, the judge wrote.
Mangione still faces two charges, for interstate travel for the purpose of stalking Thompson, causing his death, and for use of electronic communications systems for the purpose of stalking Thompson, causing his death.
Both of those counts are punishable by life in prison without parole, making that now the maximum sentence that Mangione could face."

Crimes of violence under federal law are an active area of Scotus litigation as to sentencing.

I know there are a large variety to the theories about the nature of time. From cosmic strings to particles and how it intertwines with space. But my belief and intuition is more in the metaphysical realm. I believe that time, as we perceive it in our limited way, is the real manifestation of the will of God. Immutable and always moving us towards him.

JPMorgan is the major holder of gold and silver, and the London Bullion Market Association was the major trader in futures. When the price started spiraling, the LBMA started trying to cover their futures with physical Silver and JPMorgan said "nah, bro, come back tomorrow, we don't feel like it" Causing the LBMA to start scrambling
China is also a major holder of gold and silver, and Xi might have just liquidated a bit, or stopped buying physical silver because of current political instability. They also were buying silver at a premium for a while to cover their own positions.
There is a new process for Li batteries that uses a fair amount of silver to increase battery life, that is also kicking the price up.

and Cooper writes what in other circles would be alternate history, but he doesn't seem to make up his facts, just his interpretations are not the accepted ones. Having talked to some Germans who do dabble in that period, the Reich thought there was possible rapprochement possible, and a good number of influential Brits were in favor of it too.
However this attacks the basic theory of our current political world which posits that the only thing that has saved humanity was the defeat of Nazi Germany, and that defeat is used to justify everything we did before, during and after the war, and justifies every maneuver made for the last 80 years as furthering that goal.
which, by the way, is also the justification for the Lefties in MN, OR, CA, WA and other places to call Nazis so they can justify putting us all in camps

From Wikipedia:
Pénot was concerned first and foremost with anatomically accurate portrayals of women. Singular female forms were the implicit focus of his work, whereas the worlds surrounding his characters are rarely realized beyond misty atmospheres and patches of shadow and light.

Albert Joseph Penot
Good artist, illustrator.
ebonnoir dot com: In part, "Albert Joseph Pénot was a French artist, illustrator, and cartoonist known for his work in the early 20th century. One of his most notable creations was "La Femme Chauve-Souris," a character that appeared in a series of illustrations and cartoons.
The character of La Femme Chauve-Souris was a stylish woman who wore a bat-like costume and mask. She was often depicted in humorous and lighthearted situations, and her mischievous antics and clever wit made her a popular and beloved figure.
Pénot's work was widely popular in France and abroad, and his cartoons and illustrations were featured in various publications and newspapers. In addition to his work as an artist, Pénot was also known for his contributions to the field of aviation, and he was a member of the French Aeronautic Society.
Overall, Pénot was a talented and influential artist who made significant contributions to the world of art and illustration. His character La Femme Chauve-Souris remains a beloved and enduring symbol of French culture and entertainment."

The 'Net says "chauve" means "bald," and "souris" is "mouse." So the French call a bat a bald mouse? "Flying mouse" is the literal translation of the German term Fliedermaus, and that makes more sense.

PA Retailers Targeted for Closures/Boycotts (Jan 30, 2026):
Organizers are calling for a boycott of major retailers, focusing on: Walmart, Amazon (including Amazon Fresh/Whole Foods which is set to close anyway), Best Buy, Major Gas Stations/Fast Food Chains, Starbucks.
🤞 I'm so looking forward to the news of anyone in my county bold enough to risk a good a** kicking for obstructing shopping at Walmart, gas stations and fast food chains.

The Morning Report — 1/30/26
Oh happy day, the GOP and Democrats have reached some sort of funding deal that prevents a government shutdown.
Eh, if you read the piece, it's the usual political posturing, can-kicking and other nonsense that means more arguments and bullshit in the coming weeks. The big deal with this was the Democrats' insistence on the complete defunding of ICE which although demand by their bloodthirsty insane base is something that of course would never fly with normal American and so ICE will continue to enforce federal law in the rounding up and deportation of illegal aliens. That said, it's not just Democrats who are out of their minds but far too many RINOs are going along to get along, or otherwise are doubtless profiting handsomely from illegal immigration.
Collins, R-Maine, said she spoke with Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who told her the news. . . Collins hasn’t joined her colleagues Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who have called for Noem to resign.Kind of a shocker considering Collins and Murkowski are perpetually joined at the hip when it comes to opposing President Trump and supporting far too many anti-American Leftist political initiatives, primarily abortion. I assume Collins sees that Downeasters have had it with their own Somali Islamo-Grifting swarm of locusts, and so her future ability to bamboozle them into voting for her means she has to at least do her best to fake being in agreement with them about this issue. Do the words of this half-mouli scumbag really matter?
"Breaking Bad" actor Giancarlo Esposito calls for "revolution" as a result of the events in Minneapolis. He says "millions" might lose their lives, but "the rest of us would survive."Typical. "Aux Barricades" fools. Go charge into the machine-gun fire while I stay here in the safety of my trailer mixing the martinis. I can see this degenerate commanding one of Stalin's penal battalions ready to shoot anyone who hesitates. For the glory of the revolution, you see! Considering these bastards want us all dead, this is almost laughable. Almost . . .
Anti-ICE agitators mistakenly targeted two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents having dinner at a restaurant in Lynwood, California, on Wednesday evening—prompting the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office to be called and engage in crowd control. The two TSA agents were mistakenly identified by unknown individuals as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, prompting a crowd of demonstrators to show up outside the restaurant, with several carrying Mexican flags and others carrying anti-ICE signs.In footage from the scene, several Los Angeles County Sheriff officers can be seen forming a loose perimeter around the dining establishment, while several dozen anti-ICE agitators blow horns, whistles, and wave flags and signs. Local reports indicate the TSA agents were forced to call the sheriff for backup as the crowd gathered outside.Meh. If they wound up dead. ICE, TSA, what's the diff? to the Left it would be "Message Sent." Back in Minnesota, this happened:
Mark Anderson, a 36-year-old man from Mankato, Minnesota, was arrested at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Wednesday evening after allegedly impersonating a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent. Anderson claimed he had a court order to release Luigi Mangione, who is accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. According to the criminal complaint, Anderson presented a Minnesota driver’s license when asked for credentials and carried a bag containing a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter.
On the international scene, With a carrier battle group steaming towards Iran to presumably smother the regime with a My Pillow to help it achieve 72 virginhood. Closer to home, will the Caribbean island gulag of Cuba at long last be rid of the Communists?
The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that Cuba only has "about 15 to 20 days" of oil left, based on knowledge of its last shipment, which came from Mexico in early January. There are also rumors floating around the many international businesses and at least a dozen European and Latin American embassies are planning to evacuate Cuba soon amid the crisis, due to the "rapid collapse of internal conditions" and the potential for it to get much worse in the weeks to come. Some say they fear U.S. military intervention given what happened with Maduro.That would be something to see but I'd rather we here in America no longer had to fear the long dark shadow of Communism that is the Democrat Party. I have a dream today! Have a great weekend. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Imagine if you will a professor saying he'd "rather not associate with black people over the course of his class." Then, imagine he's only "disciplined" for such an action and not fired for such horrific racism. Then imagine the wall-to-wall coverage, the burning down of cities, the rioting, the death threats to the professor. Well, in tonight's episode, it's not going to happen because you are free to be grotesquely racist against whites...in The Twilight Zone.

Don't use more than beer money.
It *could* be good. It *should* be good. There will be loads of opportunity. But it will depend on the post-communist government, should they get one. If it goes the way of, say, Dominican Republic or Chile, it will probably pay off because it means the new head hencho knows how to moderate his stealing. If it goes the way of Venezuela or, well, Cuba, your "investment" is a zero.

Not true. It does happen sometimes, usually when one of them wanders off the reservation. Expect the Dems to go after Fetterman hard. They'll primary him and call for him to just withdraw and retire and save everyone the effort.
The GOP is, in fact, exactly the same most of the time. They go knives-out when one of their own steps off the plantation. Which is why they hate this administration so much. It's an environment so rich with potential targets that it's splitting their attention.

Steve Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes, says Ilhan Omar and her husband are running a money laundering operation
🚨 Ilhan Omar’s husbands investment firm was looked into, THERE IS NO RECORDS OF THEM MANAGING MONEY, “NO CLIENTS”
“His investment firm — It’s DC headquarters appear to share office space at a WeWork. There's no track record of his firm managing money, doing M&A deals, no clients we see, no investment deals or any work it's done.
They say they do work in 80 nations operating in. There's no SEC registrations for them as investment advisers. What is going on here?
This increasingly looks sketchy, both the winery and his investment firm. Yeah, the winery may not exist and the firm may be just a really a name only”
“It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses, where they come in, she had under $1,000 of net worth, and her husband didn't have much, and suddenly now they're multimillionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here — something is not right”
“That $30 million came from sources that are illegal, period”

The irony is that, whenever I work overseas, showing a passport is mandatory when checking into the hotel. And they take down all the information just for good measure. Depending on the country, you have to at least flash it whenever using a credit card for any purchase.
When clearing customs, they always want to see a return flight and a hotel reservation. A travel medical policy depending on the country. Sometimes a work visa - rules vary.

They should really now start to look at root causes for the fiscal insanity.
For example I mentioned SSDI. Congress allowed people who had some type of legal status, even temporary, to do things like put their non citizen, sick parents on SSDI. A huge part of SSDI are non citizens like that. The program blew up after Congress did that and it needs to be rolled back. They also opened the program up to massive fraud and they still have not looked into it yet. It’s a racket where the same doctors and administrators funnel people into SSDI, and a lot of it is fraud.
Just do your job, Congress. Legislate all the non citizens out of the system.

(LifeSiteNews) — In 2003, American journalist Bill Moyers asked Bill Gates a question. Why,
Moyers wanted to know, are you so passionate about reproductive issues? Gates considered. “But
did you come to reproductive issues as an intellectual, philosophical pursuit?” Moyers pressed. “Or
was there something that happened? [W]as there a revelation?”
“When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things,”
Gates answered. “My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be
involved with that. And so it’s fascinating."
He's not obsessed with health, he's obsessed with population control. One can imagine how compassionate his AI doctors will be. . . Or not.

Eh, sort of. You can't use "AI" - or any machine vision system - to make a correct decision. You probably *can* use it as a first-pass filter, tuned to enthusiastically make false positives (err on the side of diagnosing a problem in the face of ambiguity) and then kick it upstairs for human review.
AI is way too flawed to trust with actual decisions, but doing an initial assessment and using that to prioritize human review could be helpful. "Here are your 12 images from this morning. The top four are the ones the computer thinks are bad, so look at them first."
As you say, even trained humans who *can* think disagree sometimes, and that needs to not be short-circuited. But AI could be useful as an automatic priority-setter for when the doc gets his images.

That's money that could go to Roy Cooper in NC, which most people on the left think is a won race.
Except, Senate races drive up turnout in the states that have them in midterms, all the way to presidential election levels.
And the GOP has 100,000 more active voters on the voter rolls in NC. And the GOP has a few thousand more total voters on the voter rolls.
And Trump won the state by 3.3% just two years earlier.
Cooper has name recognition, but he still can't get to 50% in any poll. He's this year's Larry Hogan.

Hey now, they gave very serious consideration to doing the minimum possible to make a slightly principled stand against fascists killing Americans. What more do you want?
Let me guess, the fascists get everything they want, and the Democrats agreed to not do anything to stop them? They start from a position of apathy and aggressively negotiate downward from there. Current Democratic Party barely has a pulse much less balls.
Close! They kicked DHS funding down the road several weeks. For a group in the minority with little to lose they're quick to roll over. Maybe we'll get an extra line in the legal code saying ICE killing citizens and deporting them without trial is kind of bad, actually! We need to demand more.
Do you remember the party of no and why they were called that? It was fascinating how that minority party got as much as they did. I wonder how they got it?

I may be in a minority here but I watched the whole series and found it to be excellent…. Walter White is the perfect anti-hero, I guy you find yourself rooting for even as he does awful stuff. The writing and acting was fantastic…. The last episode was superb. A few episodes before that, the episode entitled Ozymandias is generally considered one of the best TV episodes ever; I agree… action and gripping emotionally.
I know… I’ll never be a threat to Siskel and Ebert…

Neither was Joe, but he was black adjacent and was able to lead every SC primary poll but one for a year before Clyburn said a word in support of him.
Kamala is going to win SC by 50 points. She going to consolidate the entire black vote the second she announces (she regularly gets about 60% support already).
I'd love to see the DNC cheat her out of the nomination because she's embarrassing. But, you know what? Joe Biden wasn't exactly considered smart in 2019.

Passing this along: 2A guy Colion Noir (what a name) has a video out about the shooting of that dumbass in Minnyapples. Colion does a good job of examining the vids. He suggests, while it's not outright murder as the 'left' would make it, it's also not as clean a shoot as some on the 'right' have said. Noir properly critiques Trump ("You can't have guns"), Noem, et al. on the 2A rights question. He notes how the cops seem to have had poor discipline. On balance, of course, the dummy injected himself into an arrest, so it comes down primarily to the dead guy's own fault. Muh daddy allus taught us, don't put yourself in the middle of a dog fight.

Name recognition combined with black support is what wins Democrat presidential primaries now.

CBS News reports that some American citizens have been carrying around their passports in Minneapolis for fear of being detained by ICE. ICE does not detain you because you're mistaken for an illegal alien; ICE detains you for obstructing their work.
This makes some sense. The pressure is on to get rid of illegals. If you're not one, having your passport makes demonstrating that pretty easy. It probably isn't necessary - ICE isn't doing major round-ups, but targeting known persons unless you start interfering with the operation - but hey, it's a cautious approach.
And it sucks that this is actually a fairly sensible - if probably unnecessary - move. But if someone wants to bitch about the need to prove citizenship while Latino because of ICE raids, they should bitch at the Uniparty who left the border open and caused the problem.

First, the word choice - "loses." No, they killed, then hid the hostage. Israel had to locate it and dig it up.
Second, framing this as if this the biggest victim was Hamas. Not "Israel brings home last hostage."

"Why the Democrats Fail in the Art of War" Yes, they do - against Trump, while his administrations do cleanup duty so the country doesn't completely unravel.
But they await the open checkbooks*, as provided by Biden, along with mountains of their beloved, nonsensical, controlling rules that kept the classes where they belonged, as they had from O, and creep further towards communism.
Hopefully, there will be others as strong as Trump in the near future.
* The US Department of Labor had huge financial "losses" in training & unemployment funds, and needed stabilization of its Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed by President Biden, rescued the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) by providing over $69 billion in special financial assistance to protect distressed multiemployer pension plans. This legislation saved plans for over 1.2 million workers and retirees from insolvency, while also stabilizing the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), which was projected to become insolvent by 2026.
Then do FEMA and scores of other agencies.

Top Story
- Trust no-one: Chat & Ask AI, one of the most popular AI apps on the Google Play and Apple App stores - never heard of it - that claims more than 50 million users, left hundreds of millions of those users' private messages with the app's chatbot exposed. (404 Media) (archive site)
The exposed chats showed users asked the app "How do I painlessly kill myself," to write suicide notes, "how to make meth," and how to hack various apps.
How could this happen? Did some brilliant hacker find a devious path through a rat's nest of firewalls and security devices to reach the servers?
Not exactly.The issue is a misconfiguration in the app's usage of the mobile app development platform Google Firebase, which by default makes it easy for anyone to make themselves an "authenticated" user who can access the app's backend storage where in many instances user data is stored.
Every message from every user was public. Oops.
And half of all iOS apps have the same problem.
- 404 Media seems to have fallen on stupid times, judging from the sidebar: App for Quitting Porn Leaked Users' Masturbation Habits, well, okay, that's legit tech news with a prurient slant. Two Heads, Three Boobs: The AI Babe Meta Is Getting Surreal is less legit. And I Replaced My Friends With AI Because They Won't Play Tarkov With Me is just pathetic whether it's real or not.
Tech News
- An AI toy exposed conversations with toddlers to anyone with a GMail account. (Wired) (archive site)
Bondu confirmed in conversations with the researchers that more than 50,000 chat transcripts were accessible through the exposed web portal, essentially all conversations the toys had engaged in other than those that had been manually deleted by parents or staff.
Oops again.
- How we created more technical debt in six months than in a ten year old system. (GitHub)
I highlight this one because they weren't using AI. Just one bad decision that snowballed into an avalanche of consequences.
- Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows. (The Verge) (archive site)
Far too late for that.
Also, The Verge is working to destroy any tattered shreds of misplaced trust that it still desperately clings to. It's gone full-blown Trotskyite student newspaper.
- Medium has gone to shit as well. (Tech Crunch)
They're giving staff the day off to join in the strike in support of child rapists and murderers.
- Elon Musk is in talks with himself to merge some of his companies. (Tech Crunch)
Though exactly which ones and under what terms is unknown.

It's very much a family film. Lots of character actors too, like Paul Douglas (Panic in the Streets) and Ray Collins ("Lt. Tragg" from Perry Mason). Douglas, I see, was that rare character actor who also became a leading man -- something like Walter Matthau later.

Every Democrat nodded in agreement with that remarkable denunciation, because they’ve all seen the same exit-poll data. And I am not here to preach, dear brothers and sisters, but I feel the need to point out that it doesn’t matter whether you’re white, or whether you’re a Christian, or whether you consider yourself “born again.” You could be an atheist or a Muslim, black or Asian, gay or straight — it doesn’t matter who you are, if you vote Republican, you’re a “cancer,” according to Democrats. The only category of sin they recognize is voting Republican.
Liberalism is the only faith they have, and they will cling to it all the way to the grave and beyond. God will judge them, as He will judge us all.

Some companies' management beg for it.
A former Fortune 500 department store had floors of people skilled in C/C++ and Visual Basic to maintain and grow their non-datacenter operations (back-office, Point-of-Sale, etc.) Then management read in an IT magazine that the cool kids were going to Java (this was decades before Java had any meaningful enterprise frameworks). So they went from centuries of collective experience to zero years across the entire development team of language/paradigm experience.
I'm watching in Real Time as a national bank swaps out their Core Banking System after exasperation with an ill-fitting CBS, and doing this on a short runway.

The non-tech side has always been loony left, but of late the tech side has been deluged with Indian spammers generating articles with AI for money. The good tech writing seems to have decamped to Substack.
Also, I've been running and managing - at enterprise scale - Windows clients since 1997 and I have simply never had the problems people complain about with Windows, 11 or otherwise. Any BSODs have always been bad hardware or non-WHQL drivers. People expect appliance-level reliability from Windows, and that's unreasonable for any consumer-focused desktop OS. Google couldn't make it work with Chrome or Android.

One. Two. Three?? Woman Discovers Third Breast After Giving Birth
Jasmine Mamiya, a mother of two, was shocked to learn she had developed a third breast after giving birth to her second child. While recovering in the hospital, a lactation consultant pointed out what appeared to be a nipple growing under her armpit — something Mamiya initially thought was just a skin tag. The consultant explained that during pregnancy, it’s possible for some women to grow extra breast tissue along what’s called the “milk line” — a vertical path running from the armpits to the groin. These can sometimes form a full third breast, complete with a nipple, and even have the ability to produce milk.Check out the whole story. There's a video clip at the link. It's less than whelming. The NY Post story on this starts off in true Horde style:
"Jasmine Mamiya was in udder disbelief." *** Unrelated yet somehow related
An Oviedo man was arrested this week after he was caught engaging in a “sexual performance” with a vacuum cleaner, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. In a release, deputies said they responded to Grassendale Street in Kissimmee’s Windsor Hills Resort on Jan. 22 after receiving reports of a man “exposing his sexual organs in front of a residence.” “The victims that observed this behavior provided a statement and a cell phone recording of a male, partially clothed, in front of a residence, engaged in a sexual performance with a vacuum cleaner,” the release reads.*** Not related, yet somehow related

With the FIFA World Cup months away, Caltrans has been spending millions of dollars to clean up trash and graffiti on local freeways, but one effort to stop street art doesn't appear to be working. Two weeks ago, Caltrans crews installed artificial ivy on the walls of the 101 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles to cover up and hopefully deter graffiti. But, taggers have already left their mark. To cover up the graffiti, Caltrans crews are installing artificial ivy on the walls. There are mixed opinions on whether or not it's a good idea.Contained in the story is an example of California ridiculousness.
Due to a mural and related agreements at this location and several walls along U.S. 101 in downtown Los Angeles, Caltrans is not legally allowed to paint over or remove graffiti.I can't wait to not watch the World Cup this year. ----- No clue if the top half of this is a real avatar used by Alex Pretti. Too funny for me to care if it's not!

Its not just 30 minutes at the start, which is also a thing because there are people *sitting* on posts reading the Cafe because they know the ONT is coming. Its also about the east coast and central time people who are eventually checking out because they have to go to bed. 30 minutes earlier means they're around and reading and posting for 30 minutes longer.

Knew a guy who would do inspections of repossessed houses, and said one house had a whole section of the wall of one bedroom sawn open, and the wiring, and whole-house vacuum system laid open and needing patching and repair.
He looked up incident reports in the neighborhood and found the EMTs had been summoned at one point to the address to release the young gentleman of the house from having his tally-whacker stuck in the vacuum system for some reason.

BUT, it should start at 8:30 central time. It's already 10 pm eastern at the current start time. That doesn't mean the east coast doesn't participate, but they can't hang around as long.
I LOVE the ONT thread, but can we please consider starting it a little earlier?

I LOVE GLENN FREY.
Agree totally with the conservative woman in that the wacko liberal pierced women are latching on to something. To belong. I like the nitwit who said Good was shot because! she was a lesbo! No, not quite, try again!
I think many lesbos and liberal, pierced, green-haired women with pronouns simply never had a guy look at them or like them. Or sex. But I don't waste a lot of time worrying about them and wish they'd go away instead and be quiet without screams and whistles.
Doof, even I get the song connection as it is totally for the short bus, honey. And I am about ready for it with the lack of snow everyone else seems to have.
I don't cut pizza like a psycho, but I can't open resealable bags or boxes to save my life. My husband says it looks like a chimp on acid opens them. I don't care. Sometimes I try harder and sometimes I don't. I'm not perfect...but pretty dang close.

I have had - ever since I can remember - a tiny purple bump under one of my mammary glands. Never thought anything of it - seriously, it is hardly noticeable - until my OB/GYN told me what it was (a tertiary nipple) when I was in my 20's.
And yes, it did produce a drop or two of milk after delivery, but I never had much of that to begin with.

Yes! Like anything, you can go up in levels in Pilates where it can get more strenuous. But anything low impact would be good, what I teach is low impact, and I help people modify for bad knees and injuries all the time.

It’s worse than that. If the locals would honor ICE detainer requests the transfers would be performed at the courthouse or jail, in a secure location.
There wouldn’t be any “altercations” because federal agents wouldn’t have to operate on public roads, public spaces in the first place.

My husband had a co-worker with a fetish. Which we found out later after he fled for: Texas! hahahaha!
He hung out in the library and it turned him on to stick it in the books. An innocent woman would pull out a book, either a book of Elizabethan poems or 40 Shades of Grey, and THERE HE WAS! from the other side of the row of books!
When my husband told me this I cracked up laughing and said if it happened to me I'd whack that thing with the book as I yelled. He was a nerdy type, by the way. No one would look at him and scream pervert.
The same library, I think, I went to on my lunch break from the med center. I quit using the loo when a homeless wacko woman shot out of a stall and screamed at me to get out of her house! I did!
Near the newspapers there was the stench of homeless, reading the news and enjoying the AC. And this was 20yrs ago.

Best closing episode since… Bob Newhart.
Eureka has a pretty good ending of the last episode, so I recall. Need to watch it again.
But at the moment, we're at a loss for what to watch next. Might just have to go to bed early.

Thirty years ago William F. Buckley banished Peter Brimelow from Con Inc. for saying that immigration was destroying the country. Turns out Brimelow was right."
I used to read VDare.com, before Letitia James destroyed them through lawfare ... Peter interviewed with Tucker recently, to reach his large bank of listeners I guess. I'm listening now.

Stuff happens as planned. One of my male friends gave me feelings that he was interested. But never had the courage to do anything & I gave up. I honestly am thankful now as he got into some trouble with the law years later and seemed to be a cold SOB. When I rode his motorcycle with him in shorts and burned the heck out of my calf it was a sign. He did nothing. No empathy. I took that as a sign.
I married the crazy boyfriend instead, who broke up with me every season the first year we met at 22yrs. I think (other than my obvious charms and ambition), I impressed him by not whining, chasing, stalking or giving a hoot. I ain't going to beg anyone. We won!

It did. I felt the full power of Aphrodite, heartbreak yes but bliss too. Both at an intensity few men know. And everything I learned from that helped me find a woman with a pure heart, who I've been happily married to for 25 years. And it's not the kind of love that burns and consumes.

Interesting you say that. I'm a bit retarded socially - oh you guys already figured that out eh? laugh away - anyways night after a frat party, we're in bed at my apartment, very drunk and there's this creepy as fck animal howl (prob a fox). She's terrified, wants me to go check it out.
Now, I'm drunk, it's cold, bed spinning, I don't want to get up, get dressed, go outside, monster or not. So I blow her off.
That was the last time we were together. And it wasn't until years later that it occurred to me - I failed a test. The primary role of a man is that of Protector. No wonder I lost her

The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing

And then comes the day when she realizes you can't love her because your heart belongs to another. And it always hit them like a copper plated bastard coming out of nowhere.

I'm not trying to be crass, but I'm guessing there's a life insurance policy built into the mortgage payment that guarantees the bank gets it money if you both slip the surly bonds of earth. You might be a better risk than a 30-something who could just default and walk away.

I was just reading the forecast discussion from the boys at GSP about this weekend's little snow storm. It's going to be quite anomalous for us here. Very low 500 mb geopotential height, near a record they say. Also high dendritic snow crystal growth which will result in very high solid to liquid rations, about 15 to 20:1. That's quite rare for snow here. That means a dry, light fluffy snow. And it's gonna get gusty, and that means blowing snow. All that is quite rare for us here.

Only hook is having to have hazard insurance to make mortgage company happy.
If the place burns down I could sell the land and buy more acreage elsewhere and build the same house for what the land is worth here... Or save the money on insurance for a few years and buy that land with the savings. All it takes is ten years without the place here burning down.

They say "not out of the question" for blizzard conditions in isolated areas here and there, but generally will remain below the threshold for a warning for that, which is visibility less than a 1/4 mile with wind gusts of 35 mph or better for three consecutive hours. That's the official "blizzard" level, I believe.

They also think there's gonna be some good banding of the snowfall, and aren't sure where that's going to be. If you're in one of the bands, you'll get some higher totals than expected, and if outside, less totals. Very uncertain how that's going to distribute, they say.

22% is solid. Especially if they also make you take mortgage insurance on top of the usual. Rock solid risk free loan.
You can figure on a home purchase that about 25% is parasitic overhead. Straight up profit and O/H for the builder, developer, real estate agent commissions, title, bonding, closing.... Brokers... Total parasitic waste.

I totally understand that. It used to drive me crazy when trying to learn songs from an album that wasn't tuned to exact 440. Not to piss off Doof, but Rush's farewell to kings album is a trainwreck when it comes to that. Some songs are just not in 440. Its like they either sped up or slowed down the recording in the mix down. Now you have to tune the guitar to the album, and you're grabbing notes on the guitar while listening to notes that aren't in any correct pitch, and the pitch it's in doesn't exist in normal space time. Its not an E, not an E flat, or sharp, its some thing else. Now you're listening to the song, your mind says put your finger here, but you're not hearing what "here" normally sounds like, so yeah you start to pull notes.

Well, as one mom who has a psychopathic son, I suspect that estimate is low. Not all psychopaths are evil, although many become so. There really are people for whom there is no empathy, or conscience. My son knows right from wrong, but it is strictly transactional. He is Catholic, so he knows the logical framework for good and evil. That may or may not mean he reacts to various situations as you might expect. He is mostly focused on what benefits himself, and if he can make that simulate Catholic ethics and morals, he is much happier, but it isn't necessarily required.
Raising a psychopath is a trial. Shame is nonexistent, so how does one make clear that something is shameful, without that framework? Let's say we had some triumphs and some failures.

For decades, Beijing leveraged “commercial” proxies to entrench influence at one of the world’s most strategic chokepoints. Today, that influence just got legally erased.
The court ruled the contracts unconstitutional — no transparency, no proper bidding, no public interest protection.

I'm sorry. I cannot imagine what that's like. I've seen estimates as high as 4%. May i ask: if no feeling of shame (a disincentive to some action), are there positive emotions to give him desired. direction?

I held forth on Tuesday night at great length. I'm following closely, and I agree that gutting the CMC is a crazy move if Taiwan is still something they want to do. The point of the CMC is to provide a single command node but under divided control. Now Xi has to personally direct all movements.
It's stupid, inefficient, and it makes the other generals nervous.
I did see that Taiwan is now doing large-scale anti-invasion drills with US advisors helping them use new equipment like HIMARS. They're looking at a phased invasion and are registering their rocket artillery (so to speak) on stepping stone islands China could use as staging areas.

A bunch of drones are bad enough for surface warfare like in Ukraine. I am not sure that ship tactics have advanced enough especially crowded and slow invasion ships to prevent truly horrendous losses at sea and on beach heads.
Apparently the Chicoms also don't have much quality control on their warships either and that can be a major issue in a fight. Exocets came as a nasty surprise to the Royal Navy during the Falklands and drones promise to be at least that bad in terms of sinking ships.

NASA is planning to start the wet dress rehearsal test for the Artemis II rocket tonight around 11PM EST or so. This will take about 48+ hours, and is full wet run of the countdown to a little before T - 0. They're going to load up the thing with the LH2 and LOX and all that and go through all the motions. And see what problems pop up. No astronauts on board.
They're starting a bit earlier because of that cold blast that will hit Feb 1. It's forecast to get to maybe 26F at the Cape. By starting earlier, they'll keep it within the temp minimums for tanking.

"The deal (with PDT) reflects what senators in both parties had floated just a day earlier: passing a short-term funding bill for DHS, while the two parties negotiate changes to the department and ICE, which it oversees, along with bills to fund the rest of the government through Sept. 30.
The final outstanding issue in the negotiations was how long the stopgap bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, would fund DHS. The two sides agreed to a two-week CR that would keep DHS running through Feb. 13, just before both chambers depart for a weeklong recess, the sources told NBC News."

China's last naval battle was more than a century ago. They lost.
The key question is finding a commander. There has to be an overall commander with control over land, sea, air and space domains. Anyone Xi picks would be able to depose him. As anyone who has wisely read Walls of Men knows, this is how dynasties can change. It is how the Ch'ing were overthrown.

The latest model runs, both GFS and Euroweenie are warming Florida up a bit the night of Jan 31 - Feb1. They had the freeze line getting all the way down to nearly Miami, but now it's backing up above Lake Okeechobee. Miami will hit 36F, rather than 33F on the previous runs.

Once had one right next to my row right in the middle of taking drink orders when her pen ran out. The aisle was jam packed in both directions and she looked panicked. I offered her my pen. She looked so relieved, and whispered "were you going to order a drink? It's on the house." I whispered back, "can I get a couple beers?"
She brought me two beers and a whole box of assorted snacks and told me to take whatever I wanted. And returned my pen.

The SLS uses 5-segment SRBs -- they redid the joints on the things. But they're preloaded with the solid mixture anyway, not fueling required for those.
The minimum launch temperature varies from 38F to 49F depending on other variables. High RH and higher wind (up to a cutoff) counterintuitively allows for cooler launch minimums. Dry and calm means the upper end minimum.

The Israelis took out all of Irans SAMs. Whatever air defenses the IRG can cobble together won't last more than a few minutes once the shooting begins. I would expect the IRG to launch fairly large salvo of ballistic missiles with the ensuing counter salvo to be devastating to whatever remaining offensive capability the IRG has left. Then the real attack on the IRG will begin.

It's probably not a bad idea once or twice every generation to remind the rest of the world of just what kind of warfare the United States can wage when we want to.
Iran is going to be an object lesson for all of our other geopolitical adversaries.

When you have plenty of printed paper with mullahs on them but nothing in the market to buy, even water to feed your family. And yet you know that Iran has billions of dollars from oil sales which has went poof! Iranian leaders have been the looting stage for some time now I suspect.

Yep, sure was. I was there.
A building a few doors down from my dad's accounting office in Niagara Falls caught fire and there was a fear that the fire department wasn't going to be able to put it out before the whole block burned down. His buddy across the street got out his snowmobile as did my dad and he and my dad, with me clinging crammed on back, defied the travel ban to snowmobile all the way into the city and rescue some important file boxes. In the end, they did get the fire out with no damage to adjoining buildings. And we didn't get busted by the fuzz.
We were able to walk up the snow bank to the roof of our 2 1/2 story split-level. Made for some great pics.

Shortly after the OK City bombing, I lit a cig for a girl in a club and one of my buddies nudged me and said "Do you know who's cigarette you just lit? That's Tim McVeigh's sister!" And sure enough it was. Remember, she was initially held for questioning by the FBI. She had just been released and was out celebrating with her friends. She had been all over the news. The McVeighs lived one town over.

I later wore Jessica McClintock that smelled floral. They stopped making it, but people liked it and asked what it was. One nurse director said it gave her a headache. I didn't like her and thought, "Good!" as she was not my boss. The only problem was that bees and yellow jackets (allergic to them) would chase me.
I now wear Dior J'adore because it's floral and not super strong. Many perfumes are too strong for me or smell like men's cologne.

It was the best of times.
I'm rather shocked at photos of what I wore at times, and no doubt my family was. However, I rocked it and if no one said anything I was oblivious.
At one of my second cousin's weddings I served punch. I was wearing a plum velvet mini dress with lace on the long sleeves. In the family photo it is very short and probably blew my grandmother, aunt, parents, and family of the bride's minds. Behind the tablecloth you couldn't tell. But, oh, boy, it was short.
At a summer family reunion, after church, I am wearing a tee shirt & my Daisy Duke's with about 50 relatives. If my mother and grandmothers had said anything I would have changed, as I was not ornery and rebellious, just clueless as to how much leg I was showing.
Years prior my mother did tell me to hit an uncle of hers if he touched my back to see if I was wearing a bra (training bra, training 'em for something). He didn't. It would have been a spicy reunion if I knocked him off the porch! She had to explain later, that he felt up her sister as a teen.So she was on alert for the perv.

Quick Hits
This may shock some of the most easily shocked readers, but it turns out that the pampered foreign communist Zohran Mamdani has been in office for two weeks and he's already out of money and will need to liberate more money from taxpayers.
Chief NerdFormer mayor Eric Adams calls bullsh*t.
@TheChiefNerd 🚨 BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani Says New York City is Facing a "Fiscal Crisis at the Scale of the Great Recession" "That means looking inward into savings and efficiencies. That also means raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations."
Eric Adams
@ericadamsfornyc
In case anyone was wondering, this was the real motive behind today's press conference. Mayor Mamdani promised a laundry list of "free" giveaways to buy votes, with no plan to pay for them. Now that the math doesn't work, instead of owning the fact that he misled New Yorkers, he's blaming me. Let's be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves. This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis. The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails. "Free" isn't free. It's just a bill someone else has to pay.
Eric Adams
@ericadamsfornyc 4h When you promise "free" everything on Sunday, boldly declare that millionaires and billionaires shouldn't exist on Monday, and by Tuesday you're scrambling to fund your giveaways with the very people you wanted gone just yesterday.

Will ChamberlainTiffany Cross is a very low-IQ black racist fired by MSNBC for being a basket-case and a liability. Of course CNN's Abby Phillip decided she needed to feature this Empowered Black Woman Racist on her failing show. Cross just claimed a few days ago that a "right wing extremist" had killed Charlie Kirk -- apparently she's a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, or, maybe, Candace Owens. Note that CNN routinely cancels people for dealing in "misinformation." But not here, of course. And she was back at it last night, this time asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that ICE is a "white supremacy" "militia" which is now staffed almost entirely by... Proud Boys.
@willchamberlain The most basic category error the left makes - repeatedly - on every police shooting is to characterize the shooting as an unjust "punishment" for the conduct of the person shot. They then argue that said person didn't "deserve" to be "executed," and so clearly the police officer is in the wrong. That's not what it's about. It's NEVER what's it's about. Punishment is administered through the judicial system. The right of a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of others is about the rights of the officer, his colleagues, and nearby civilians as human beings whose lives have value, too. They have a right to respond to the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm with deadly force. And in exercising that right, they are not judged from the perspective of an omniscient superhuman, with perfect knowledge of everything happening in that moment; they are held to the standard of the reasonable person perceiving what they can from that viewpoint. In the words of William Munny, deserve's got nothing to do with it.
They want war. They will have it. Soros DA Larry Krasner to ICE: "If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades... we will find your identities!"
O'LEARY: "Did you just say ICE officers are militia?!" CROSS: "Yes. Have you not been paying attention?" O'LEARY: "Yeah...I think you're stretching a little bit." CROSS: "They certainly mirror the Gestapo." O'LEARY: "This is a federal, state mandate, you're pushing that a little bit there. That's WAY offside." *Abby Phillip looked concerned.* PHILLIP: "But Tiffany, you're just making a supposition here. There's no concrete evidence of actual Proud Boy members." O'LEARY: "Yeah, you gotta be careful here. That's WAY offside. These are men and women serving the government, risking their lives, serving the government. You're calling them Proud Boy militia, did you say that?!" "You're way offside, way offside." CROSS: "I'm actually not. But I think that there are White supremacist tattoos on their necks." O'LEARY: "White supremacist federal officers?!" CROSS: "Yeah! White supremacist federal officers!" O'LEARY: "Okay that's...where are you going with this? Why would you say that?! Men and women working for the federal government, risking their lives, carrying out a mandate and their White supremacists?!" CROSS: "Yes, and you're a member of a cult..." O'LEARY: "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!"

there was a thread somewhere talking about a D&D campaign with only Chaotic Evil characters, as an experiment. At one point the troupe finds powerful magical armor, the highest power member claims it, then everyone realized it would be enough to make them all slaves with no escape so they attacked everyone to capture it. They all killed each other, and the two remaining members of the troupe were dueling it out when a magical beastie came through and killed them both because they couldn't defend and attack at the same time while injured.
Yay! Winning!

The usual course is to start confiscating assets. Buildings, businesses, etc. under the lie that the gov. will make greater returns and use that cash to fund their social programs.
They are always surprised by their "bad luck" when those assets have lower return than expected.

Too old. New York City places a limit as: ".. and the Mayor shall be no older than twice the verified age of the oldist tree in Queens.." Records currently have the oldist tree as 350 years, so x2 that's 700 and Taylor is going upwards of 800 so she's out.

What remains is an insurgency, but even there the mismatch in resources is massive. Minnesota was the perfect test run to show how the feds could be sent packing and with less than a brigade equivalent, the feds are winning. Antifa simply cannot keep sustaining KIAs and expecting its troops to hang in there. These are theater kids who think they don't carry live ammo, and now they know otherwise.

Minnesota is a national leader in several crops: it is the top producer of sugar beets, green peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys. The state also ranks highly in corn and soybean production, and is a major hub for livestock, particularly hogs and dairy.
In addition to agriculture, iron ore is a key mineral commodity, with Minnesota leading the U.S. in production. The state’s agricultural exports are substantial—$9.2 billion in 2021, with soybeans, corn, pork, and feed products among the top exports. You may now continue.

It's a combination of the "compassionate" and the cheap that got us to where we are. The ones who claim that institutions are cruel joined with those who claim that institutions are too expensive to empty, then destroy, facilities that house, involuntarily, people with mental.issues. It's not just the left, it's the "fiscally conservative".
Incidentally, from accounts by those who almost went that way, once you get past the shivering state, freezing is a fairly calm and painless way to go. But, if found and hospitalized, recovery from that state is neither.

I agree.
On another topic, you have to be watching China's current events with bemusement. Competence versus demanding absolute loyalty to Xi makes a helluva mess of armed forces when they are supposed to be reading in a year to invade Taiwan.

Correct, and its not even all of Minneapolis.
It is a psyop designed to break Trump's approval numbers and it is failing and it will fail more the crazier they get.
What will happen is that rioters getting shot will become "turn the page" stories, and people will tune it out. Trump will talk about Greenland, or California, and Minnesota will disappear from the headlines.

Nothing exists in a vacuum. This IS a Minnesota Problem. And a Wisconsin Problem. And a Chicago Problem.
But not a Southern Illinois Problem. Nor a Michigan Problem. Michigan, other than Detriot, is interesting.

But that didn't happen, and the correlation of forces make any kind of open hostilities impossible for the left. They are incapable of organizing large scale volunteer units and the National Guard will not mutiny against the federal government.
What remains is an insurgency, but even there the mismatch in resources is massive. Minnesota was the perfect test run to show how the feds could be sent packing and with less than a brigade equivalent, the feds are winning. ...
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 29, 2026 07:17 PM (ZOv7s)
Also, since the Commie-led states are mostly on the coasts, Minnesota is isolated. They're essentially operating on exterior lines, while the Feds are operating on interior lines and can move back-and-forth quickly.
I have wondered about Pres. Trump declaring Minnesota to be in a state of insurrection and then just send a General with some big balls to walk into Walz's office and tell him that he's under arrest.

The Dems are demanding we be clasped with iron shackles.
We don't want any shackles.
The Republican open with a counter of "how about velvet-lined shackles?"
And compromise on burlap-lined shackles.
And get angry at us for not agreeing because that's better than bare cold-iron shackles.
WE NEVER WANTED ANY SHACKLES!!

The webz tell me that Minneapolis population is about half a million but that the metro area is close to 4 million, out of a total population of around 5.8 million for the state.
So Minnesota has the New York City problem.

I held forth on Tuesday night at great length. I'm following closely, and I agree that gutting the CMC is a crazy move if Taiwan is still something they want to do. The point of the CMC is to provide a single command node but under divided control. Now Xi has to personally direct all movements.
It's stupid, inefficient, and it makes the other generals nervous.
I did see that Taiwan is now doing large-scale anti-invasion drills with US advisors helping them use new equipment like HIMARS. They're looking at a phased invasion and are registering their rocket artillery (so to speak) on stepping stone islands China could use as staging areas.

Upon closer inspection, you see around Arafat's neck a "Hartz 2-in-1 flea & tick dog collar."

Remember when Mayorkas was impeached by the House and the Senate refused their Constitutional duties to try the case?
The sedition and in some cases treason of Mayorkas somehow never rose to the level of impeachment or actual justice.
Yet Noem, who has no crime or infraction named against her is somehow worthy of lynching.

The uniparty doesn't want its cheap labor and fraudulent voters deported. That means easy wins and easy money is gone for them probably for generations. And they just might have to forget that second chalet in Switzerland, that ranch in NZ, and piling on millions more in grift.
We haven't seen voter responsive politicians other than Trump in so long that the uniparty fears we will want all of them to do the jobs they are being paid for by taxpayers, not the grift they get from donors and fraud.

Some blue states populations theoretically pay out more to the Federal government in taxes than the money they get back with revenue sharing.
Their big problem is thinking that they can run up a massive debt that compounds while their tax base evacuates.
The frauds uncovered this year hold the possibility that a lot of funds from Washington get stopped. Even if temporarily, this hurts them fuckers.

The Tell was back in the 80s. There used to be a time when the Democrats opposed Immigration like a Catholic opposed a Rubber.
And then Reagan. And then the DNC flipped, in many ways. And the first Million Amnesty thanks to Ronnie. And then NAFTA - which got floor opposition by a majority of Dems. But a few key players went along.
Because the DNC enjoyed some Failure Theatre as well.

Stop ordering your officers not to cooperate with ICE, and provide POLICE presence - not to passively observe your Leftists wrecking havoc, but to corral them, take out the violent ones, and force other "Protesters" to maintain their distance from ICE operations.
