It's a very dark painting on the Art Thread, but that's not important right now.

The painting shows a public urinal at night.
Symbolism: It serves as a meeting place for men, reflecting Koch's interest in the darker aspects of life.

The Morning Report — 9/ 22 /26
On Sept. 10, 2026, one year from the date that Charlie Kirk was horrifically assassinated on the nearby Utah Valley University campus, Utah student Sara Larsen approached members of the campus College Republicans chapter while they were tabling on campus and attempted to hand them a cake celebrating Kirk’s annihilation. The white cake was decorated with blood red icing reading “Happy Kirkiversary.” In the eyes of the university, the public blowback Sara Larsen received over her “Happy Kirkiversary” cake was the fault of the College Republicans—because they posted a picture of it. The university was attempting punish the College Republicans for exposing Larsen’s public celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death.Again, this is like blaming the Jews incinerated in the crematoria for the smoke conditions over Southern Poland. And we get vermin like Sara Larsen from breeding grounds like UV U and now starting in pre-school!
More than half of US college students say controversial speakers should be banned from their campuses, with a record-high number adding that violence is acceptable to stop them, a disturbing study shows. The results provide a dangerous and “sobering picture” of cancel culture on US campuses, according to the expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 college undergraduates nationwide by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. “The atmosphere isn’t just cautious — it’s hostile,” the study’s authors wrote. “Students continue to show low tolerance for controversial speakers, and troublingly, more believe it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker, block access to events, or even resort to violence to silence campus speech than ever before.” The percentage of students who supported disruptive or even violent tactics to suppress controversial speakers meanwhile went up between 2021 and 2025. An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022. More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like. The top 10 most intolerant campuses were predominantly in one state: Massachusetts, the survey added. Conservative views are most under attack on college campuses, according to an interpretation of the data by the Missing Data Depot.the immortal lyrics of Rogers and Hammerstein really hit home, don't they?! You've got to be taught

If you want evidence that teachers’ unions are nothing more than taxpayer-funded left-wing rackets, look no further than the evidence dug up by the Progressive Policy Institute — a group founded by centrist Democrats...So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes... This includes more than $2.4 million to the far-left Center for American Progress, $7 million to the Democratic Governors Association, nearly $26 million to the Democrats’ House Majority PAC and $32 million to the Senate Majority PAC. And, maybe because they figure it will cut down on class sizes, more than $400,000 to pro-abortion groups...Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students. We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.RICO Act and firing squads.

More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.
The Blocking Other seems to me the most violent and offensive. A Core Belief in Western Culture is freedom of movement and freedom of association.
Over half of college students have no problem with Physically stopping you from from both.
How will these people ever fit into semi-polite society?

“There aren’t too many Democrats who would roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump. You did that today,” one reporter said before asking Mamdani what the relationship had accomplished.
“Do you think you should be criticized for taking time to meet with the president?” another asked. “I think a lot of people see your strategy around the president as curbing your criticism of him. I feel like you don’t often launch personal attacks on him…Do you still think this tactic is worth it?” said another.

Back in 2006, Nimco Ahmed, the CEO of an autism center now under state investigation, joined the "Klobuchar team" during Amy Klobuchar's first Senate run, according to a profile at the time.
A former employee told Alpha News last week that Ahmed's autism center is "fraudulent," an allegation Ahmed denies. . .

More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.
This is all because violence works. And it only comes from the left.
Until one of two things change they will embrace violence:
1) It stops working politically either because
A) Right leaning officeholders put them in jail
B) LIVs stop voting for them
2) Right leaning partisans respond with equal or greater violence
And honestly I don't see any of that happening. Even after Trump was actually shot he's barely prosecuting the networks that planned his assassination attempts. I suspect the polls are in fact skewed but this violence isn't really hurting leftwing election efforts. Finally even with COVID and the prospect of the government forcibly injecting your kids with the poison there was no armed response...

My brother has been limited at work, due to his vision and apparent alcohol issues (work isn't aware of that). It seems he's got himself locked out and they can't figure out why or get it reset, so he needed to go to an office. My neighbor works in the IT department as well, so he graciously volunteered to take him in and work to get it resolved.
This is the first time I've seen my brother in a little while and I can only say it doesn't help my mental state. His vision has gotten REALLY bad. He can't see hardly at all and there doesn't appear to be enough light in the world to make it work.
It also seems his body is failing in some way that he's got a serious rash around his ankles that have his socks just nasty with blood and fluid. I'm not sure if that's a liver thing or if that's something else.
His wife is a medical assistant, so I can't imagine why he's either not being treated or if something is being done. He has a pretty significant level of give up because he's going blind, but it seems his wife has given up as well.
I just never imagined life would hand me, personally, so much hardship and tribulation.

It's not just the Pali cause.
There are a significant number of women that believe it's excusable to strangle your own children to death.
Women are often proponents of violence because they are comparatively rarely the victims of it.

There's no such thing as a 'palestinian.'
The people of Gaza do NOTHING to help themselves and are largely a terrorist state. They are roaming nomads that no one wants because they're bloodthirsty muslham ideologues.
DNA would show they're simply middle eastern, Jordanian. There's no evidence that a 'palestinian' ever existed in the history of ever.

Women do not want to 'marry down,' but they are actively creating a world in which men - increasingly correctly - see college as a waste of time and money as well as a significant risk to their freedom.
A college-educated woman simply isn't going to marry a non-college man.

DENVER (KDVR) — New video shows a Waymo robotaxi driving down a closed road and through a Denver farmers market.
160 vendors were setting up about 8:15 a.m. Sunday at the South Pearl Street Farmers Market when the self-driving vehicle came through.
"It entered through our food truck area," said Nicole Jarman, the production director of the farmers market.
Jarman said there was a "Road Closed" sign on one side of the street, but the other side of the street was still open to vendor traffic during set up and the Waymo" followed a vendor vehicle past the sign and then turned onto the 1400 block of South Pearl Street.

The big unstated elephant in the room, and the reason no Arab countries support them with anything more than cheap words, is Gaza (much more than the West Bank) has for at least 75 years now been the garbage dump for all the human problems that the Arab world has not wanted to deal with.
I’m sure they thought they were quite clever for arranging to dump them there and make them Israel’s problem.

They've been marinating in a feminist "girlboss" culture that encourages aggressive behavior and anger, reinforced by an entertainment media that routinely shows 100lb waif girls beating up tall, muscular men. At the same time they have not given up the expectation that men will both protect them, or if attacked, will not defend themselves. Bananas.

I've seen some stuff lately from women bitching about how men don't give up seats or hold doors any more. One woman said that she was keeping chivalry alive. I wanted to tell her to wait until some woman she'd held the door for got up in her face and told her that no woman needed a MAN to hold their door. See how long chivalry lasts under the assault it's been under for decades.

Riding the metro here in the DMV, I had a young-ish danger-hair woman standing near me while I sat, reading a book. She was maybe 28.
After a stop or two, and listening to her sigh loudly, I looked up at her. She asked 'aren't you going to give up your seat for a woman?'
"This is what equality looks like."
The men around me chortled and she was absolutely livid.

Top Story
- Google's new Googlebooks are here, powered by Googlebook OS, with models starting at $899 from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, and here are all the hardware specs which I know are the only thing you'll be interested in. (WCCFTech)
Wait. Powered by what?
- Powered by the all new Googlebook OS, which they didn't bother to cover at all because Google announced it yesterday. On Reddit. (Reddit)
There's also a home page on Google itself which contains less than no information.
Except for Australian prices - it's region-sensitive - which are fuck-off-expensive.
Anyway, Googlebook OS is Android which is Linux, in this case Debian under the hood, updated with a user interface that doesn't look like a Subaru that hasn't been washed for forty years.
- Here's the Acer model which is the cheapest of the bunch and doesn't get a mention on the Australian version of the Googlebook home page. (Notebook Check)
Pretty good hardware specs especially the 2880x1600 120Hz 14" OLED panel. But I got a laptop with one of those six months ago, with twice the memory and storage, and cheaper too.
- Can you just download - or even buy - and install Googlebook OS on your own hardware?
What?! No. Eww, gross. Get away.
Tech News
- Apple's new M5 Ultra Mac Studio outperforms even a 64 core AMD Threadripper until you run anything other than Geekbench 7 whereupon it immediately doesn't. (Tom's Hardware)
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's annoying to watch idiots trumpet its speed based on one obviously broken benchmark. At least Tom's Hardware ran one realistic multicore benchmark which immediately left the Mac Studio face down in the dirt - slower even than Intel's miserable workstation offerings - but they didn't bother to put that in the headline.
- The Mac Mini is also a thing that exists, apparently. (Tom's Hardware)
Such enthuse. Many wow.
- You wouldn't download a polyhedron, would you? (Polyhedra)
Oh. Maybe you would.
- Old and busted: You can use your AI agent to do your shopping. New hotness: Blocked and reported. (Tech Crunch)
Guess Amazon and Facebook aren't friends anymore.

Rookie.
Actually interested in Google. Avoided them for years as they were evil. Only company that made Apple and Microsoft look decent by comparison. Now it’s Anthropic and Open AI that occupy the evil throne.

What a terrible way to bring up AI mode.
Like people don't shake their pointer on the screen all the time just to see where the thing is.
"Wheres the pointer?"....
*slides fingermback and forth across the trackpad to find it*...
"Awww shit it's Gemini back again... how do I turn this stupid thing off!!?"

Grouper was on sale. We got extra. I’m working on a concoction right now. Thinking of trying a little panko crust with a quick sauté of the top and bottom then 3 or 4 minutes to finish in the oven. Lemon beurre blanc sauce. Maybe finish the sauce with a little dill.

You can't even get a SSD with more than 512GB, apparently.
That's how they made a 14" laptop with an OLED and still keep the price at $899.
If they went up to 1TB the laptop would be $1049.

They weren't making enough money with Chromebooks, and then Apple dropped the Neo and blew them away, so now they're only move is take the Microsoft route and start making their own hardware beyond smartphones and Google TV.
Unfortunately for Google the vast majority of people on this planet don't trust them and don't think of them as a hardware company anyhow. Their only buyers are tech addicts who don't want to deal with Apple or Microsoft or Samsung.

Had such a nice day yesterday. Today is our anniversary, ( We got married in the previous century) but since spouse had the day off yesterday we went to a lovely little town about an hour away. Many of the houses date from the 1800's. Most of the shops were closed but we went to pet boutique, the biscotti bakery and the a place with antiques. There was a man there finishing old furniture there and I got a pair of antique earrings. We had very nice conservations with the shop owners!
A highlight of the time was stoping at a church which was originally founded in the 1700's but was redone in the 1800's. I liked the outside. The pastor's wife ( they live next door in the parsonage) saw us and invited us to see the inside of the church and her husband was inside . What a beautiful church and we had such a nice talk ! Thanks, God!

Google made two fundamental errors with the Nexus Q. The first was the Google engineers were macro-dosing LSD while under specifying the device. They also overlooked that they were releasing a product into a well defined market space that had formidable entrenched competitors such as Apple, Sony, Roku and so on. Essentially nobody knew what the hell this thing was supposed to do.
On the plus side it came in the shape of a plastic softball ball that had a LED that spanned the equator of the ball and lit up when something happened, sort of like the LED on GoogleBooks.

>>Yeah, that sounds about right.
Well, let's look at the cost by the general price of it's compnoents.
256gb of ddr5 will run yo anywhere fron 7-10k, depending on the manufacturer.
A 4tb nvme will run you 600 dollars.
Comping the video card is hard as you would require a 100k nvida dgx station to be able to have 256gb of video ram on the GPU bucause of apples unified memory architecture, but for the sake of comping we will use 2 spark cards at 5k a pop for a 10k total there.
And for th cpu the closes comp is a AMD thread ripper which comes in at 5k.
So, that Apple M5 Ultra is a bargain.
Throw in the fact you are getting a Unix/Linux OS and a pretty compact computer and there is nothing that is a price competitive as any mac right now laptop, desktop or mini.

On the other hand, it looked like the ideal of a "walkable" community: apartments, coffee shops and bakeries, grocery stores, other service businesses. And not everybody there was retirement age, either. Sort of like a big mall with living spaces attached.

One data point that confirms this. The 15-in M5 MacBook Air (16 GB, 1 TB) is $2200. The 15-in X2 Elite Surface Laptop (16 GB, 1 TB) is $2400. Setting aside personal software ecosystem preferences these two laptops are roughly equivalent in capability and build quality. I never thought I would see MacBooks be the value leader but here we are.

>>I never thought I would see MacBooks be the value leader but here we are.
Setting aside the dollar factor, the main reason I have liked apple over the long term is that the essential look, feel and operation has not changed much over the last 40 years.
They change things very slowly and at the margins, but for the most part if you look at System 1 and say Tahoe, other than more graphics polish, they look the same.

In 1984, David Jenkins was consecrated Bishop of Durham in York Minster. Jenkins had before said, "I wouldn't put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if he wanted. But I don't think he did." Three days later, the cathedral was struck by lightning and badly damaged.

The UI has changed a lot since 1986. (So has everyone else's, so maybe that's why you didn't notice it.)
I'd been using a MacBook (provided by work) since 2015. (Past tense since they laid me off last Friday; shipped the laptop to them yesterday.) It was OK; I can use them, but I would never buy one and run their OS.
Part of my irritation would be due to corporate overlays; still, there were some fairly nice built-in things. The interactive application search was nice.
Still, the mac's ability to handle multi-display windows sucked absolute ass.
I'm typing this on a Slackware 15.0 computer. (Think of a bleeding edge linux distribution; find a linux distribution as far away from that as possible; behold! Slackware.) It's running an ancient version of the K desktop Environment (KDE Plasma 5, version 5.23.5) which is perfectly able to show a window split across 2 screens. By default, I'll add.
The MacBook, however, would only display such a window on one of the two monitors.

Nothing to report on the job hunt today other than I managed to find a decent swath to apply to. Poked the 'pending update' list, no responses because of course. Inching closer to being fully approved for subbing, should be fairly 'soon', at which point I'll try to sub 2-4 days a week, leaving space for interviews for better jobs.

Radio Shack offered “Lifetime Warranty” vacuum tubes, under the Realistic brand. Radio enthusiasts loved finding these, for certain hard to find and/or expensive tubes. 1L6 was a pentagrid converter used in battery powered shortwave sets and I would read tales on the collector forums in the late 1990s of people dropping by Rat Shack to take them up on their offer. They would, and did. I thought it was kind of a dick move.

The carson city post office is very, very similar to the key west, florida post office and customs house. I believe in that time frame there were only a few approved blueprint schemes available to the federal government so likely they used the same set.

Let me tell you what has happened - I asked CBD to pause it yesterday. Here's what happened today:
I was supposed to raise $6700 to be eligible for $25K in CT state election funding. I raised $8115.
I was supposed to get 150 in-district contributors (Easton, Weston, and Redding CT). I got 184.
There were 210 total contributors - several of whom were honest-to-goodness Morons.
When I went to Hartford earlier today to submit my paperwork, the election offical was shocked to find out that I only had this campaign live for about 9 days. I cannot thank the Horde and my other supporters for contributing. My area of CT is quite blue, but someone has to run. I'm tired of talking about how bad things are and watching things get worse in these Blue States. That said, running is very, very scary. Now I know that I'm not doing this for just me. I can't let everyone down now. Thanks!

The autumnal equinox occurs tomorrow at 8:05PM EDT, or 00:05 Zulu. Less than a day of astronomical summer left. The full Moon closest to the fall equinox is dubbed the Harvest Moon, the one that shines on, shines on, and that will be Sept. 26. Look up the Harvest Moon effect, which has to do with the angle of the dangle of the ecliptic at sunset on the equinox.
It happens in fall in the southern hemisphere as well, but that's in March. It flips symmetrically across hemispheres.
And Saturn is nearing opposition as well, which will occur on Oct. 4.

Thats exactly where his lab was. The worlds first industrial research lab, and the street there was the first one in the world to be lit by electric lights. The edison monument is there. 130 ft tall art deco tower with a huge edison bulb on top thats been lit continuously since 1938. Like I said, exit 132 on the parkway, go a less than a mile down RT 27 towards Metuchen and you can see the tower lit from the highway. Turn right on christie street and takes you to the state park where the museum and tower is. I drove by it all the time. Looked pretty cool at night.

I think that what my fundraising efforts have shown me is that there are a lot of people who passionately dislike current state representation. I'll also say that if every registered Republican voted in this election, I'd win. The problem is that we're so beaten down that over time we simply can't believe things will get better. Considering that I saw the Berlin Wall come down as I watched on my TV at the time, I thought that communism would never come back. If bad ideas never die, what about good ideas? That's why there's a chance.
Now, it's possible that I don't win this cycle. I'm already committing to run in the next one in 2028 no matter what, so my name recognition could get me over the line next time - especially if the Dems go all DSA on us, which they very well might. I could still win now.

I was on a business trip when I was under 25 and I needed to rent a car. Only one company at the airport would rent to me. Don't remember which, but it was only one company...and charged me twice the rate. Didn't matter to me as the company reimbursed me for it eventually.

One thing of minor interest happened. While out on a Sunday drive I saw a road-killed bear in the ditch. It was on a two-lane highway running through a game-filled forest, so it wasn't wildly improbable for it to be there, however it was the first incident of this I had ever seen.
I await the comments describing how, in your neck of the woods, you have to shovel dead bears out of the way in the morning just to get to the mailbox.

CT is an interesting state in that regard. Now that I have this small grubstake, the State Election Commission will add another $25K to it in early October, assuming that my contributions are Kosher. In a short sprint of a race between my debate on 10/6, early elections starting 10/19, and 11/3, that money goes pretty far with signs, mailers, and digital. For the gubernatorial contest, by contrast, state funding will give $13 million. Ned Lamont is a centi-millionaire, so he'll self-fund, but Ryan Lazio needs all the money he can get.

Re this ecliptic angle thing. This is the angle the ecliptic makes with your local horizon. I tend to get this mixed up and backwards no matter what, but I hope I've got it right.
At the equinox the sun is crossing the celestial equator, heading south at the fall equinox. At sunrise on the fall equinox, the ecliptic makes its steepest angle with the horizon. At sunset, after the Erf has rotated 180 degrees underneath, the ecliptic makes it shallowest angle. During the spring equinox, it's just the opposite. Shallowest at sunrise, steepest at sunset. And this flips between the hemispheres to match which season is which because the local tangent planes are upside down.
What does that mean for the full moon? Moonrise occurs right around sunset, so the difference in rise times for the Moon over a few days is the lowest it will be for the year. The difference between moonset times will the greatest and this effect increases with latitude.
And vice-versa at the spring equinox full moon. Set times will be closer together, and rise times the farthest apart.
So, the Harvest Moon effect is just that. Moonrises are very close together right after sunset over a few days.

So, right at harvest time, you have a nice bright near full Moon that nicely rises right around sunset for a few days so you can still have light for all the harvest work. That's the origin of the name Harvest Moon.

A lot of traditional Spanish dishes apparently are based around bread as an ingredient. Either raspings fried in fat prior to adding the vegetables for stewing, or sopped in water or wine as a thickener for whatever soup or stew.
The Romans did have a type of smaller flatbread that would be used as the base of whatever was being eaten. Apparently in one famous book, the narrator mentioned that when they were travelling in the countryside and paused to eat on the road, they used the flatbread to serve the food among themselves, and ate the food, and then tore into the bread, and waggishly mentioned they were so famished they "ate the plates and table as well"

I was supposed to get 150 in-district contributors (Easton, Weston, and Redding CT). I got 184.
There were 210 total contributors - several of whom were honest-to-goodness Morons.
When I went to Hartford earlier today to submit my paperwork, the election offical was shocked to find out that I only had this campaign live for about 9 days. I cannot thank the Horde and my other supporters for contributing. My area of CT is quite blue, but someone has to run.

DDT has been banned from "general use" in the U.S. since 1972.
It is still permissible for emergency authorization, but I don't know if that has even been triggered since '72.
Of course, under Democrat rules, the laws only apply to the little people.

When I was a kid mumble mumble years ago, Anchorage was mostly swamp, and the mosquitos were epic. Literally a curtain when you went outside. So thick you ate plenty of them. Just awful. However, I never got mosquitos bites per se, they would bite but I didn't react. My sister got welts the size of tomatoes.
They sent trucks around spraying everything with DDT. Worked pretty well, but not completely. Made life bearable.
By the mid 1970's many of the swamps had been drained for development, so fewer mosquitos and I guess we didn't miss the DDT so much.
I don't live in Los Anchorage any more, and the mosquitos out here are... epic. Need a visit from the DDT truck twice a summer or so. But, not available.

Speaking of Saturn, it's little moon Hyperion would be the quite geodetic/geospatial nightmare. It's a tri-axial potato shaped mess that rotates chaotically. Well, "tumble" is a better word that rotate. It's so chaotic that the characteristic time is only about 100 days. Unpredictable past 100 days out from any point in time.
So, calculating sunrise and sunset times and so forth would be impossible for any length of time. And talk about polar wander. The axis of rotation moves all around the surface in chaotic fashion. There is no "pole" to define geodetically. It would have to be mapped in a body frame coordinate system only, with that orientation relative to chaotically jumping around.
So, at any point on the surface, the sun might rise over there, then jump back down, then pop back up in another spot over a short time span. Then zig-zag around for a little bit, then shoot over and plunge below the horizon in some other random direction.

Meritage Hospitality Group, one of the largest Wendy’s franchisees in the U.S., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following a high-stakes dispute with the fast-food chain's corporate parent.
The bankruptcy filing comes amid severe financial pressures at the franchisee, which has struggled with soaring beef costs and weak customer traffic,

Favorite Burger stand is across the street from a new Wendy's. Every time I get a burger; looking across the way I see no cars lined up at Wendy's.
Decided to check out the menu and try something.
Looking at the drivethrough marquee there were pretty pictures and fancy names but nothing clear about what exactly I would be purchasing.
Not One Descriptive.
Remember the old Wendy's marquee with the list of all the different items one could purchase?

I try not to eat at fast-food places that often, so I don't have the menus memorized.
But that seems to be how things are set up, now. I guess nothing ever changes, so if you've been ordering the #6 combo since 2012, you don't need to know that it's the Royale With Cheese combo.
Or maybe it's just that neither the customers nor the employees know how to read. Point at the picture and grunt?

Landing on Hyperion would be the true test of real pilot. Quite the difficulty level. You wouldn't know where the surface would be relative to you until you got there, and then getting synced with the movement of a spot on the surface would quite difficult.
Not that you'd want to. The surface is sort of like a brittle sponge or honeycomb. And highly charged. Little sparks, little lightning bolts would hit you when you got close enough.
The Cassini probe got hit by such a discharge when it made a close approach. It didn't damage anything, luckily.

Well, I've gotten the education on turtles all right.
The San Diego Zoo used to have an incredible turtle grotto that was so soothing and fun, like a screensaver. It was a little outdoor pond, but the tank viewing area was in something like a cave, and you could see the turtles and gariels and a few fishies swimming around or resting on the ground. Spotted Pond Turtles, Chinese Stripenecks, Snakenecks. I used to take my friend's kid there, and we'd spend an hour just watching those things swim.

I had a rule with the young Boy Scouts that they had to ask a leader before picking up an animal.
I would tell them it is OK to pick up that toad, but don't cup him in your hand because he will pee.

If you are trying to photograph a bowl of cereal you can’t use milk, all the cereal will be a bowl of mush if it sits there for more than half an hour.
Nobody from General Mills wants to try to sell a soggy bowl of Frosted Flakes.
So you pour out a a good bit of Elmer’s glue, and then add the cereal pieces on top where you want them to make it look natural. Then you squirt out some more Elmer’s on top to make it look like milk is covering some of it.
Voila, looks like a shiny, perfect, bowl of flakes, no sogginess detected, and it’ll stay that way for the four or five hours it takes to get all of the shots you need.

Yes, it's young males who swerve to hit animals, and fuck them.
JQ, about squirrels: it's the only animal I've ever hit, and I tried not to -- but the bugger insisted! omg I felt my car bump a little over it. I actually pulled over (this was a country road) and ... TRIED TO BACK OVER IT to end its misery. I don't aim that well driving backwards, so after a few fruitless tries, I went on to my destination.
On my return, the darn thing was still in the road, slightly different location. I didn't know whether it had been flung by another car or was still alive and crawling miserably to the other side. I tried to run over it again, to end its misery!!! Missed!!!!! It's really hard to get your tire over a specific static thing.
Anyway, I hope I never hit an animal again, small or large. That squirrel has gone on to its reward, but I'm still haunted.

Fifty or so feet down the road, I told him to back up and we'd take a look at it to see what it was and if it was alive.
So he backs up slowly and as we get to the fox laying on the side of the road he stops and I open the door on my side and look down at this fox laying there looking dead as dead can get.

@Rainmaker1973 She didn't just swim away: she came back with gifts. After rescuers freed her calf from a fishing net, a mother dolphin began regularly leaving fresh fish on a dock as a touching "thank you" gesture. In July 2025, a dolphin calf became entangled in fishing gear near a marina. A man named Tom and other local boat owners successfully freed the calf and reunited it with its distressed mother. Days later, people at a nearby dock started discovering neatly placed fresh fish each morning. Initially suspecting a prank, they checked surveillance footage and were stunned to see a dolphin surfacing at night, gently placing fish on the wooden dock before swimming off. The behavior was soon linked to the recent rescue, leading many to believe the mother dolphin was deliberately thanking the man who helped save her baby. She repeated the act multiple times. While marine biologists are cautious about attributing human emotions like gratitude to animals, they note that dolphins possess high intelligence and complex social awareness. Real or symbolic, the story has captured hearts worldwide as a beautiful example of the special bond between humans and dolphins.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox have agreed to collude and NOT cover Trump's UN speech due to his exclusion of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the WH press pool.
I think that is awesome!
Trump should now play hardball and announce since they are in collusion not to provide news coverage to the American public, he will give their WH pool spots to news outlets that will actually report the news.
Losing Fox, while also losing the other four networks would be a huge net win for Trump. I say eject them all and let them whine, when they made an actual "for cause" decision.

From the link:
"During the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a feather on the Moon at the same time, and both objects hit the lunar surface simultaneously.
And proved Galileo correct."
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Galileo was not correct. The two objects to not hit the surface simultaneously. The more massive one (the hammer) hits the ground first, but the time-difference is so miniscule that it is far beyond our capability to measure it.
How can this be?
Here's how:
Yes, the feather and the hammer fall "down" at the same rate. BUT, the hammer has more mass, so to a vry very very very tiny degree, its mass is simultaneously pulling the Earth "up" toward the hammer. So, taking into account the upward movement of the earth toward the hammer, the hammer actually has less distance to "fall" before encountering the Earth, so takes less time to do so. The feather also pulls the Earth "up," but with less mass, so the effect is less, so it takes longer for the two bodies to meet.
This isn't even relativity -- this is true even under Keplerian/Newtonian/Galilean physics. But it's rarely mentioned.

Good point. BUT...:
If the experiments are conducted sequentially (as opposed to dropping at the same time), then the hammer falls faster than the feather.
But even if they are dropped simultaneous,ly the hammer will STILL hit the ground first, because the spherical larger body (Earth, moon, whatever) will tilt ever so slightly toward the hammer and away from the feather. The time-difference between a simultaneously dropped hammer and feather will still exist, but be ultra-hyper-mega-logorithmically-exponentially more tiny than even the immeausurably tiny difference in the sequential version of the experiment.

When I first saw that David Scott clip, I wondered if someone would bring this up, and here we go.
To resolve this, remember the acceleration field, which is g, gravity, must be relative to an inertial frame. In this case, the center of mass of the Moon and hammer, or Moon and feather frame will do. The acceleration field of the Moon remains constant. The hammer and feather accelerate toward the Moon at the same value relative to the center of mass frame.
The Moon itself just gains a tiny, immeasurable acceleration itself in that frame due to the mass of the hammer or feather.
The state of "accelerates at the same rate", which is the basic of the Equivalence Principle holds. It just doesn't take into account that relative acceleration.

Paramount agreed to establish an independent board of journalists to oversee the newsrooms of CNN and CBS News to preserve editorial integrity and prevent consolidated corporate bias, Bonta said.
================
I can only see it going one way: the Islamunist propaganda board will make those newsrooms not only unpopular and unprofitable, but also unmanageable and unfixable, so any sane company would cut its losses and axe them entirely.

I was imagining the Islamunists awakening with horror to a board of Paramount-picked actual journalists. No one knows where they came from, how to get rid of them, or how to get past them. It would be hilarious.

Maybe some linkage here...
During the capture of Avaricum and Gergovia (leading up to Alesia), the Gaulic women bared their breasts while begging the Romans not to slaughter them when the towns fell. At Alesia, that isn't mentioned...just that the non-combatants were kicked out of the city, begged to be taken prisoner by the Romans, the Romans refused, and they all starved in the no-man's land between the two sides. I bet a few breasts were bared, though.

Re Apollo 15. That was the first Moon landing mission where NASA stopped the quarantine for returning astronauts. Previously, in what was an over-abundance of caution, they imposed a 21 day quarantine. You've probably seen pictures and footage of Nixon speaking to the Apollo 11 astronauts inside that modified airstream quarantine trailer.
After Apollo 14, the conclusively proved to their satisfaction there were no moon bugs, and the Moon was sterile. Everybody knew that was the case before, but it couldn't be conclusively provided without actual samples.
And that was the mission where Jim Irwin came close to a heart attack during ascent.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 21, 2026 08:30 PM (w6EFb)
And that reminds me, with Apollo 11, Nixon wanted to eat breakfast with the crew before they launched. They had a strict pre-launch quarantine, and that would've have broken it.
It would be bad if they got sick (as shown with Apollo 7) during the mission, so they isolate them a while beforehand.
It fell to Dr. Charles Berry (a legend of the Apollo glory days) to tell Nixon he couldn't do it, and why. He said Nixon wasn't happy, and he was afraid he was gonna get fired. The NASA brass picked him as the fall guy, being the chief flight surgeon and all that.

Another thing the NASA doctors worried about. There was a chance the crew could catch something, get sick on the way back or after return. And that would most likely be due to a regular ol' earth bug.
But, if it happened, there would be freak out they caught some alien virus/bug on the Moon. So for Apollo 11, they were even more cautious about the pre-launch quarantine and isolation.

He raped the husband repeatedly, until the wife finally tried to stop him and he killed her.

Quick Hits
Race paranoids decided that a Korean sneaker ad must be a subliminal ad for KKK lynchings.
Here's an image from the ad:
Fuck you, Sally Sillycunt.
Converse apologized and pulled a shoe ad last week that some claimed featured Ku Klux Klan imagery. The ad, which has been removed from the Nike subsidiary's social media pages, featured K-pop singer Karina of the girl group aespa promoting the Chuck 70 X and Run Star Crush sneakers. In the ad, Karina held a pair of black high-top shoes under a star-shaped spotlight while wearing a long white skirt. Several social media users asserted that Karina resembled a KKK member, with the shoes resembling a lynching victim. Critics included Rep. Troy Carter, D-La., who released a statement on the ad on Friday. "Nike and Converse, what the hell were you thinking?" Carter said. "Your campaign shows what looks like a hooded Klansman, framed by what appears to be the dangling feet of a lynching victim. There is nothing creative or artistic about it. It is racist, reckless and deeply offensive."
After facing backlash, Converse eventually pulled the ad and released a statement apologizing for the campaign. "We're sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened, and we will do better," the statement sent to Fox News Digital read.Converse is a subsidiary of woke propaganda company (which also sometimes makes overpriced sneakers) Nike so I can't say I'm upset that they're being destroyed by the SJW customer base they cultivated.
This latest ad backlash comes as Nike is set to be removed from the S&P 100 after nearly 18 years, following its value dropping by more than $200 billion since 2021.House Republicans say they have further questions for the Democrats' illegal foreign buckraking operation Act Blue.
College swimmer speaks out against the "moderate centrist" Abigail Spanberger for allowing male cheaters to compete in girls' sports.
House GOP investigators are warning that they are not done with ActBlue after a bombshell report fueled questions over whether the Democrat fundraising giant is accepting foreign cash and lying to Congress about it. "Whether it's allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud. Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital. ... Republican lawmakers have long accused the company of having lax verification standards for donors, something ActBlue has said it actively improved since the start of the GOP's probe. But new findings, first reported by Fox News Digital, appear to show employees green-lighting donations despite some questions about where they came from. ... Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital on Friday, "ActBlue's own admissions raise serious questions about its fraud prevention practices, including a so-called passport verification process that did not actually verify or check entries against any government database. All options are on the table to ensure we get to the bottom of what is going on at ActBlue." ... The Judiciary Committee revealed through a series of transcripts on Thursday that all 10 ActBlue employees and board members who appeared for closed-door depositions invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions. ... The GOP report cited a letter by Wallace-Jones to Steil, which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification. But the Republicans' report alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.
Huh, a left-wing Democrat refused to be honest with the public about her extremist position on an issue. Well, now I've seen everything!
Former Roanoke College swimmer Lily Mullens, who helped lead a public stand against a transgender athlete joining her women's team, is speaking out after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's administration withdrew a proposed regulation intended to protect female-only sports and private spaces. Mullens was one of three female swimmers who formally petitioned the Virginia State Board of Health to enact the regulation, along with Hungarian Olympian Réka György and former Roanoke teammate Carter Satterfield. "Up until recently, due to Governor Youngkin's leadership, which was founded in truth, Virginia was making tremendous strides toward finally doing the right thing and protecting females by keeping men out of women's sports and spaces for good. However, under the new 'leadership' of Governor Spanberger, that progress has come to a screeching halt," Mullens told OutKick. "By failing to be open with the public about her decision months ago, she is signaling to the people of Virginia that she does not care about the female athletes in this state and she is aware that she is going against what the people want. As a woman herself, I had hoped that she would understand the importance of this issue and the petition I signed a year ago, but I have been proven wrong.
... "The truth is, and always will be, that men and women are biologically different. Virginia had a leader who understood this fact and did everything he could to protect women. I am saddened and disappointed to see such hard work thrown away, especially by a woman." ... György competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The Virginia Tech swimmer finished 17th in the preliminary round of the 500-yard freestyle, one place outside the 16-swimmer finals field. Thomas advanced and went on to win the national championship.A Finnish study has found that "gender transitions" do not, as claimed, improve the mental health of those receiving it. In fact, psychiatric illness skyrockets 600% after "transitioning."
A lawless lower court federal judge ruled that Oregon could not house trans "women" in men's prisons. Apparently there's a rule requiring individualized evaluations to determine if the "women" would be "harmed" by treating them as the sex they actually are. The lawless rogue liberal judge said the prisons were not really evaluating the trans "women's" situations fairly. I assume he said this because some trans "women" were going to men's prisons, which he found intolerable. Three Trump appointees told this Mary to get f***ed. A Ninth Circuit appeals panel has reversed the lowly lower court judge.

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out -- this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel said a lower court had incorrectly ruled regarding how Oregon housed its transgender women inmates. All three judges on the panel were appointed by President Donald Trump, and they voted unanimously to strike down the order. Some criticized the language in the panel's opinion as being harmful to transgender people.Oh for the love of Pete.
Wednesday's ruling reverses a decision made in April, when U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordered Oregon to house transgender women inmates in prisons that align with their gender identity, and only after completing a safety assessment. Appeals Court Judge Eric Tung authored the panel's opinion, saying Clarke had erred when he said the state had presumptively placed transgender women in men's prisons. "That premise lacks record support and is clearly erroneous," Tung wrote. "The district court improperly disregarded the overwhelming contrary evidence presented by Defendants in favor of baseless speculation." ... But the appeals court said that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that Oregon had acted with deliberate indifference to transgender inmates. Tung wrote that Clarke had relied on outdated evidence and failed to consider counter arguments presented by the state. "Nor have Plaintiffs shown that Defendants acted in a uniform way with deliberate indifference toward each of the class members," Tung wrote. "At most, the record reflects that different officials acted in different ways toward different prisoners at different times."
A fuller article is here. Despite some occasional claims that "nothing is being done," Trump has really done something on immigration.
The CPS [Current Population Survey] shows an unprecedented decline of 2.9 million in the total foreign-born population from January 2025 to July 2026. As for the illegal alien population, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I estimate from CPS data that it has fallen by 2.3 million since January 2025--from 15.8 million at the start of the Trump Administration to 13.5 million through July 2026. By contrast, it had grown by an unprecedented 5.6 million during Biden's time in office. These estimates include adjustments for those the CPS missed.
The GOP is a clown show but if the Dems gain power they will simply end all immigration enforcement and the country will be over

One thing we have learned from the Clancey circus is that women's hormones are often out of wack and as a result its OK to commit heinous crimes — totally understandable.
So when trannies take huge doses of women's hormones taking their XY bodies out of wack, it should follow that committing heinous crimes is an expected output — totally understandable.

I haven't considered a Converse shoe for many years and didn't even know they were still around. My first pair of "good" running shoes in 1977 were Converses, but they were leather (really!) and heavy as lead. When I bought a pair of Nike trainers the next year, I felt as though I were floating on the track by comparison.
Instead of apologizing to these whiners, Converse should simply say, "Get stuffed and grow up."

It is devastating, final, and catastrohic. It is the end of the trans movement. When it came out, I said aloud, "FINALLY this trans shit is over. Utterly and totally debunked." Because the entirely of the purported "need" for "gender reassignment surgery" is the completely false claim that it is the only thing that can alleviate a gender-cionfused-individual's metal illness.
The new study proved -- absolutely undeniably PROVED with no possible rebuttal -- that the surgery makes you 6x crazier.
Unlike other studies with a lot of droouts that made the result meaningless, the Finnish study followed EVERY SINGLE TRANNY in the entire country for over a decade. And it turns out: "Transitioning" only ever made them feel worse. And crazier. And the ones who decided NOT to transition almost all got better, and most quickly dropped the "I am a chick" fantasy.
But guess what? I was wrong. Th FInnish study was release, and...silence. The media refused to cover it. Went over like a lead balloon. And the American trannies just continued on the insane warpath, as if nothing had changed.
Boy, am I naive.

imma be honest with you, majority of white people dont have a black friend, associate, or even a black person they usually speak to. So they really dont know about anything outside of their bubble.
I also work in marketing and have noticed the trend of racist ads from big companies it's always intentional
What sells, generates publicity? "Accidental Racism". Next thing you know sales climb, then plateau back to normal. Rinse and repeat. It's been Target's business marketing model for years.
It's because they got rid of DEI. These white people have been playing in our face for years. This new wave wanted to be as openly racist as their ancestors and where pissed when the tide changed. They love this maga shit because it allows them to be as hateful as they wish

Last week was talking a veteran Border Patrol officer at the range (he's also a handgun competitor), and the topic of fake asylum was central. He said he'd seen a few cases that looked possibly legit at first glance during the erasure of the border and immigration law under the vegetable. A few, a tiny %.
Of course even those are problematic (all but the Mexican nationals), as they're "fleeing" a safe situation in Mexico where the alleged threat in the home country could not exist.
Mentioned this before. A friend's spouse is very senior in a huge national law firm. Told me 2 years ago that the firm (of course) was interested in doing pro bono asylum work. They had their TX office hire someone to screen a large sample of cases (thousands) before deciding. A very small % (5%) had some apparent legitimate basis (again, at first glance). Firm decided to not do the pro bono work.

Do what I do:
I have two computers -- one is new, with all the latest internet capabilities, and one is old -- very old, with almost no recent internet capabilities. But it is able to load simply-coded websites.
The new computer take about 2-3- minutes to load the AoS main page, and often over a minute to load a single thread.
The old computer can load the main page in 2 seconds, and a single thread in an instant. Comments also post instantaneously and the page reloads in less thane one second.
Moral: Use an old computer to view AoS.

I think that is awesome!
Trump should now play hardball and announce since they are in collusion not to provide news coverage to the American public, he will give their WH pool spots to news outlets that will actually report the news.
Losing Fox, while also losing the other four networks would be a huge net win for Trump. I say eject them all and let them whine, when they made an actual "for cause" decision.

True words. I'm on a Mac G5 Tower (mid-2010) that I dearly love. But it's old, and displays the symptoms the first poster listed. macOS 10.13.6 'High Sierra' was not the solution I'd hoped for. It actually makes the Mac run SLOWER than when it was on 'Sierra'. I still love this machine, tho'. It still runs my 32-bit AND 64-bit apps with no problems except for being slow. They still produce the imagery I want from it.

Whistleblower: 99% of Asylum Claims Are Fake
You don't say. You don't say.
David Strom:Claims are floating around that 85 percent of the world's refugees are Muslim, and the UNHCR's response isn't "No, they're not," but rather, "A spokesperson for the UN's refugee agency UNHCR said the number of Muslim refugees is likely to be less than 85% of all refugees worldwide." Which is another way of saying "you're in the right ballpark." And those refugees aren't fleeing to Muslim countries. In other words, it's an invasion, either for economic or political reasons, and according to a whistleblower at the Home Office in the UK, almost every "asylum seeker" is a fraud.From The Times (UK):
Only one in 100 asylum claims are genuine, according to a whistleblower who has revealed widespread fraud and dysfunction in the system. The Home Office official, who has worked for years as a decision-maker on asylum and has assessed thousands of claims, said asylum seekers from certain countries use the "same script" in what he and colleagues describe as "package claims". He said he had encountered a large number of Iraqi Kurds claiming asylum who said they had been in a relationship with the daughter of the prime minister of the Kurdistan region. The official said it had become a "running joke" among colleagues that the number of Iraqi Kurds who said they were involved with the daughter was in the "hundreds". He also said that "hundreds" of claims from Pakistanis were based on the assertion that they were in fear of their lives in their home country because of their gay relationship with the same man who had provided letters supporting their claims. The source also disclosed suspicions about large numbers of Bangladeshi claimants purporting to be dissidents of the former governing party, which is now banned, even though they were unable to provide basic information about the group.Strom believes this state of affairs might have something to do with AfD's rise and the CDU's collapse. Could be. Could be. But you know who else opposed rampant immigration fraud?
Sit back and think about this …

Since we are pretending to have full access to God's DayTimer calender...
Isn't it interesting that while the world is suffering refinery destruction, the world is increasingly relying on oil that comes out of the Gulf of America and Caribbean?
US refineries are running at 98% capacity (which is unsustainable) and yet they can't keep up with demand.
Also note that God hasn't sent hurricanes into the oil producing regions this year, stopping processes that would likely result in $10+/gal diesel.

Look at China's weather this year. They actually had a typhoon hit the same area three times. Yes, it made landfall, circled around back to the sea as a tropical storm, turned back into a typhoon, and smacked China again, veering away from Taiwan in the process.
You name it, they have it: frosts that froze birds off of the trees, rains of frogs, and such flooding.
Hmm, maybe requiring all Christian churches remove their crosses and replace them with Chairman Xi's portrait was not the best move.

I have argued for a number of years that anyone showing up from a country claiming "asylum" just because their home country is awful (not that their family was thrown in a dungeon and tortured) should be rounded up, placed in cargo aircraft with sufficient arms and ammunition, and flown home with the charge "Fix your own da** country."

They've been one of the main papers pushing transphobia (along with The Guardian). They really lost it about 10 years ago when their centrist slant kept moving further and further right.
given the success rate in applying for asylum and the success rate at appealing negative decisions, insisting that 99% are frauds certainly qualifies as an "extraordinary claim". Our news sources chose not to require any evidence to support it.
Japan rejects 99.7% of asylum applications so the 1/100 here isn't that far fetched to believe.
I don't think you can use the prevalence of being gay as a way to determine that you should only expect small numbers of gay asylum seekers. The 1% assumes that a fully representative cross section of Pakistanis are coming to the UK instead of the UK being a place that is known to be safe for gay Pakistanis

The Muslims raping women in Finland believe the Koran gives them license to rape as many infidels as they want.
The "no-no square" dance will change the viewpoint of the rapists not in the slightest.
The government employees that made that video have zero comprehension of the rape problem they are trying to address.
However, I don't think they are actually that stupid. Instead, their world view requires that they do NOT address reality, because the actual facts cannot exist within their BS construction of a world view. (That is a different kind of stupid.)

The longest penis of any animals relative to their body is that of the barnacles. The body of these sessile crustaceans often measures just a few centimetres long, but their penis can be as much as 40 times as long as this, enabling them to mate with other barnacles positioned some distance away.

My father's golf club had a huge Canadian Goose problem. They deposited pounds of crap thickly across the fairways, and sometimes even on the greens.
Management brought in two breeding pairs of swans, and set up each pair on their own course pond.
Hundreds of geese were terrified of two swans, and stayed far, far away.
If I am ever facing an existential threat of combat against a million geese, I am taking a few Morons, a few 'ettes, and a couple of swans. With that tiny army, I still like my chances.

Hell, there are Christians who still work as slaves (bonded labor) in Pakistan even though the Constitution of Pakistan (yes, they do actually have one) outlaws slavery since the early 1990's. Selective law enforcement is a big deal in Muslim countries.
I'm not commenting on whether these non-Muslims deserve asylum. I'm just pointing out that Muslims are likely responsible directly and indirectly for well over 90% of asylum seekers. Some are actually legit on the non-Muslim side.

Just like their prophet wasn't a pedo rapist.

But not the actual pedo rapists who rape young boys because it's not called pedo rape if you buy a young boy for "fun."

The prior verse is specific. You are relying on nonspecific context to conclude the subsequent verses are negating a specific prior verse. This is not very logical approach to interpretation. It may be your belief, but it is not logically born out on the face of the text. Not that it has to be - but as a matter of interpretation that's not a great argument. Its like - here I'm going to purposely confuse you by saying one thing and then negating it by implying something else. Naw bro. You need to redo that.

According to Dispensationalists, almost all of Revelation is the Reprobate's DayTimer. Its a day-by-day description of what happens, what follows that is provided to people who hate God so much that they have been Left Behind and have no interest in the Word.
Which is really weird since Evangelicals believe that a very large chunk of the Bible was not written to the immediate audience but to people, with no interest in the Bible or of the things of God, thousands of years later.

Then you can't help but stumble across one of Peter's letters where he said that the LORD will return when the last of the Elect has been redeemed.
If you are absolutely sure of the date where no one from this point forward gets saved, then you can have all the confidence in racking up your credit cards and splurging before being whisked away leaving piles of debt behind.

Found out recently that teen boys are into Road Runner cartoons. Youngest grandson compared something to Acme products and when I asked how he knows about them he said the cartoons are popular with his age group. I was hoping for more erudite cartoons like Bugs Bunny but Road Runner will do, after all it's part of their cultural heritage.

Really, none of this makes any sense. If its Muslim gays fleeing Muslim countries where they behead gays, the legit percentage would be much higher, wouldn't it?
Plus, one thing not addressed is that if you're legitimately in a country where your being there puts your life in danger, that DOESN'T mean that you get to go to any country in the world that you feel like, I wouldn't think.
It seems like it would be easier to give examples of legit cases, because I can't imagine there are hardly ANY.

Oulu only has about 210,000 residents (so about the size of Richmond, VA or Spokane Washington)....Only about 7% are migrants. Which suggests that those 7% are pretty active in the ole' "No No Square" touching. Only just over 1% are Muslim immigrants. So, they must have gotten some real sexual harrassment prodigies if they thought it necessary to do this song to curb the problem. Yikes.

We're in the Dark Ages of pop culture in America. All heroic figures are being intentionally dismantled and re-written, 1984 style. Our enemies have known for a long time that if America is to be taken down, it must happen from WITHIN, and "politics is downstream from culture", so they infiltrated all the necessary places.
So of course they would re-discover the old stuff. Even a child can tell that the new stuff is anti-inspiring garbage.

It's aggravating to me to see people observe this, and how it's completely ubiquitous, and still not see that it is NOT just sort of social trend - a symptom of social decay - but rather the result of decades of infiltration for the very intentional purpose of taking our society down.
You can't point to the guy (or guys) who got up on the metaphorical soap box, made their case, and convinced everybody this was the right way to go. Every new idea - and ALL of them are bad for society - suddenly came from nowhere, and you were told you had to go along, OR ELSE.

Of Course: The 12 Left-Wing AGs Settle with Paramount/Skydance, Allowing the Merger, But Only With "Guardrails for CNN"
So this many-million-dollar lawsuit was all about keeping CNN a hard-left propaganda outlet.
Note that four of the left-wing AGs are dropping out of the communist coalition to demand further concessions, so I can't say this deal is actually struck quite yet.Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. DiscoveryThey mean they want Warner Bros. to remain separated from Paramount/Skydance for a period, which I heard was two years. Usually mergers involve reducing corporate staff by combining the old staff and firing the now-redundant staffers. So this is a move to keep those jobs for a period.
UPDATED WITH MORE DETAILS: Paramount has settled an antitrust lawsuit brought by a dozen state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta, the last obstacle to closing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Deadline has confirmed. Specifics are still scant but will come when the deal is formally announced later this morning. There will be concessions. Deadline hears that Paramount has agreed to some CNN guardrails, financial penalties linked to CEO David Ellison's 30 movies a year commitment, and some sort of separation of the studios for a period.
By promising to create "domestic" or "home grown" jobs, do they mean just in California, or the United States? I assume the latter, but I'm not sure.
Terms of the deal are said to include an investment of $1.5 billion for home-grown film production and protecting and creating jobs, along with requirements for additional domestic production if the federal government approves tax incentives. The settlement also provides for a $47.5 million workforce development fund and obligation to honor existing collective bargaining agreements.
We don't know yet what "guardrails for CNN" have been agreed to. What I would guess is that Paramount/Skydance agreed to keep current CNN management on for some period. Maybe 3-5 years or something. It obviously can't be forever. Update: So now we know -- Paramount/Skydance agreed to appoint a board of liberals to monitor the management of both CNN and CBS. To keep out "bias." Boy oh boy, wouldn't want any bias creeping in to CNN or CBS! More on the Jake Tapper Permanent Employment Treaty:
News of settlement talks began trickling out on Friday but four of the AGs in the group were subsequently described as holding out for more concessions from Paramount. The attorneys general of New York, Connecticut, Minnesota [Keith Ellison] and Nevada came around late Sunday, sources tell Deadline, after assurances from California's Bonta that he would hold Paramount's "feet to the fire" to ensure the company stuck to its commitments. He had said previously he preferred structural remedies like asset sales to resolve antitrust issues, rather than behavioral remedies, which require monitoring.
... "It's jobs, job, jobs, that's what this all about," a source close to power players in Sacramento told Deadline. Of course, with $6 billion in cost savings promised to investors, expectations remain for significant layoffs, though those details will become more clear in the coming days and weeks. Paramount shares rose 9% on the news. WBD gained 10%, trading at about $30.50. The deal calls for Paramount to take out Warner stockholders for $31 a share.
Under the agreement, Bonta announced that Paramount is legally required to distribute at least 30 movies in theaters annually and will face a financial penalty if it fails to do so. The company also committed to spending an additional $1.5 billion on film production over the next five years, with a guaranteed increase in the proportion of movies produced within the U.S., specifically benefiting Hollywood, according to Bonta.Wait, so is the deal to produce "home grown" jobs in the US or in the Hollywood area? That seems to claim both or either.
Additionally, Paramount agreed to establish an independent board of journalists to oversee the newsrooms of CNN and CBS News to preserve editorial integrity and prevent consolidated corporate bias, Bonta said.Independent journalists may include Dan Rather, John Harwood, Jim Sciutto, and Don Lemon. I'm making that up but I'm sure that's who the left has in mind. Oh, and why not add Tater to the board, too!

The deranged partisan freaks like Mark Ruffalo demand that the deal be scuttled.
The primary group mobilizing opposition to the Paramount--Warner Bros. Discovery merger condemned the state attorneys general settlement of their antitrust lawsuit to block the transaction. Just minutes before California Attorney General Rob Bonta was to appear at a press conference to announce the details of the settlement, the Block the Merger Coalition put out a statement calling the proposed resolution "a bad deal for the future of film, entertainment, independent journalism, and a strong democracy in this country." "We are disappointed and angry that the interests of average Americans have been trampled to benefit oligarch billionaires," the group said.Who the f*** do they think own major movie studios? Do they think they're mom-and-pop shops? No, of course not, this is all stupid communist agit-prop.
The only person there I wouldn't want to boycott is David Fincher, but I'm sure I can live without him. As for Denis Villeneuve -- I know everyone's supposed to say he's great but I think he's boring as hell. His idea of making something feel "important" is just to make it slow and film it in low-key, low-energy way. I didn't like Dune or Dune 2. I might actually like the David Lynch version more, but that might be too spicy a hot-take for me to commit to.
In addition to demonstrations and online campaigns, the coalition helped organize an open letter of industry professionals opposing the transaction, including JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof, David Fincher and Denis Villeneuve.
...In some Hollywood: Shit or Garbage? material: the Resident Evil movie is supposedly the first good Resident Evil movie. What I've heard critics say is that it's not based on any of the actual characters from the game -- it has its own original characters -- but it is based on the scenarios of the game, including puzzle-like levels, I mean movie scenes, the main character has to figure his way through. In other words, the world of Resident Evil is fairly well adapted, while it doesn't include any of the characters featured in the game. Which is an interesting way of being both very faithful to the material while also ignoring much of the material. Multiple reviews say, however, that it ends abruptly and that the climax is rushed. It's directed by the guy who did Weapons so I'm inclined to think it's pretty good. I dunno. I'll wait for it to be on TV.
Mark Ruffalo, a prominent opponent of the merger, weighed in on X earlier on Monday. "Gavin Newsom hands huge win to Trump and his billionaire cronies," he wrote, referring to the governor's involvement in reaching a settlement.

1. Any time Mark Ruffalo loses at something, an angel gets its wings.
2. This is a lesson to Ruffalo that the Democrat party will always betray him, and he must leave it and back a third party challenge from the left exclusively. No Democrat is a friend. They are friendly betrayers, at best.

Or, to put it another way, keep this tied up in litigation past the October deadline--forcing Paramount to exit CA.
But for real, how can this be legal?
They file suit on almost no legitimate legal theory and extort out a "settlement" that solely benefits just one of the states that sued--and not the general public of the whole United States?

Bonta will never sleep again after his mess. Now we need some popcorn for a documentary based on Bonta’s life and his downfall. Would be a great paramount/warner bros movie.
He could have still been a God. It was possible for California to hold the line until the ticking fees kicked in.
But the Ellisons were too clever.
This capitulation proves that we cannot rely on the willingness of business minded politicians, red or blue, to protect our country. We must protect it ourselves.
BUT BUT BUT CONCESSIONS!!! Bro, even I thought Bonta would be able to leverage a extraction of SOME structural remedies.
He didn't even do that.
What a absolute self own and PROOF it was never about stopping the merger and only about getting his name out there.
This man will never become governor.
It was always about CNN and CBS. Bonta won
Glad state tax payers were able to fund this donkey show by the AGs so they got an editorial review committee - great use of tax dollars 🤦♂️

55 New Silent Hill game comes out on the 23rd.
Looks interesting.
But, for the first time in decades, a new Castlevania comes out on October 14.
Castlevainia: Belmont's Curse
2d metroidvainia style.
I will buy.

It looks nice.
It seems like the story was told better, and more thoroughly, than the Lynch version. But it just seemed dull and subdued the entire time.
Maybe that was the acting or direction, but it’s not a movie I feel like I’d want to sit through more than once as opposed to something like LOTR which is rewatchable despite the length.
I still like the 80s version of Dune more and maybe that’s just nostalgia talking.

LA has been dying as an industry town since the 90s when they started making "New York" movies in Toronto or "generic American city" movies in Vancouver.
It's just expanded ever since to studios in places like Austin or Atlanta.
It's really expensive to film in Los Angeles, and every production fights over tax incentives from the state government to bring the costs down.

Saw "Resident Evil"...
Very fun horror movie. and yes, the movie is kind of shot with the idea that it's a single player running through a sandbox game.
Starts small and builds to a nice climax. Which may feel rushed, because there is a slight chance that it could lead into an RE2 sequel.
I don't think it's actually rushed though as it hits the peak of absolute horror for the movie and then ends, which is fine in my book..
Very well directed. Easy dialogue scripting as the main character mainly just says "Fuck" fifty million times. Good acting throughout.
Some humor, nice horror.
Not as good as "Weapons" because the story isn't particularly deep. It's a thrill ride.
Good time at the movies. Check it out.

Star power is a myth.

The Frog's version of Dune is gorgeous to look at, and has a few scenes that are legit awesome, like pretty much every scene with Khal Drogo, and when the heroic bagpipe music kicks in during the frontal charge scene with the sunburned anus guy Brolin leading (despite the charge being tactically stupid, and Gurney Halleck going into battle without his Combat Pug like Patrick Stewart).

the problem is that she has been in multiple massively lucrative movies. She's been in five movies that earned a billion or more, and many that made close.
Was she why? Oh no, not even close. You could swap her out for pretty much anyone and get that much. But that's not how Hollywood sees things.

Their IMDB rankings are 8.0 and 8.4, respectively.
Their audience scores on RT are 90% and 95%, respectively.
Their LetterboxD scores are 3.9 and 4.4, respectively.
Most people like them a lot.

I like both Dunes.
Not sure about the upcoming 3rd one though as it makes it look like a big showdown between the main character and his "wife", which i don't remember being any part of the books I read.
so, it may turn into a girl boss movie which would be a shame.
Posted by: naturalfake at September 21, 2026 04:19 PM (iJfKG)
New Dune just sucks.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I really liked both new Dunes.
--
I saw the Lynch one - the edited one not the uncut one - and it was okay but man did it jump and skip - understandably. I did see Dune part 1 and thought it pretty good. I liked the part with the attack on Arrakkis and the way they handled the attempt on Harkkonen's life - nice. I thought Dune 1 did a nice job on other elements of the book. Haven't seen Dune 2 yet.

It should be noted that that movie did not do well at the box office.
Because Ralph Fiennes is not a movie star. He's a recognizable actor.
The number of people who buy tickets to see just him are vanishingly small. You don't pay him millions of dollar (no public info on his pay, but I would imagine at least $5 million or so) to have people not show up.

It seems like the story was told better, and more thoroughly, than the Lynch version. But it just seemed dull and subdued the entire time.
Maybe that was the acting or direction, but it’s not a movie I feel like I’d want to sit through more than once as opposed to something like LOTR which is rewatchable despite the length.
I still like the 80s version of Dune more and maybe that’s just nostalgia talking.

Dune really isn't an "action" franchise. This is why the movies focus on spectacle rather than plot.
The books are mostly people sitting around chatting about how awful prescience is.

There is a payoff to the AGs of $40M. I am not sure if that is per state or combined.
There is a payoff for someone to monitor for compliance and whatever "experts" that person hires.
The news monitoring requires 5 people with 10 years of being a reporter, 3 years with credentials, no more than 2 "affiliated" with any one political party.
2 GOP, 2 Conservative, 1 Libertarian?
It requires the company to make "commercially reasonable efforts" to use the Lots in Hollywood.
Please do not hurt yourself laughing.
Oh, there is a force majeure provision if riots and supply chain interruptions make compliance impossible.
Really, be careful with the laughter!
The film making requirements are $300M/year for 5 years, making 30 movies/year, 6 of which much cost $50M with appropriate publicity.
Those 6, at the minimum, more than cover spending requirement. That means the other 20 (4 MUST be indie productions) can cost . . . well, however much is enough to meet the release requirements.
The whole thing ends after 5 years, just in time for facilities outside of Cali to be ready.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, Who Is Unaccountably Wealthy Due to Being a DEI Race Grifter and History Hoaxer, Sent Her Kids to Poor-Performing Schools As a Political Race Stunt
This grifter created a fraudulent, and now debunked, narrative that Americans declared independence from England not for freedom or political sovereignty but for the only thing the race grifters know about history, slavery.
Because she's a Stronk Empowered Woman of Color who pushes Jason Arday-level fictions, the left made her rich. Although actually -- she grew up fairly well-off too. So she could have sent her kids to good schools. Or she could have paid for private schools. Instead, she sent her kids to the poor-performing public schools in Brooklyn out of a deranged sense of racial solidarity. Her kids suffered for her ideological derangement.In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own? A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter's education that I hoped would challenge New York City's separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice. ... "Did you know my school was bad like this when you decided to put me here?" [my daughter] asked. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I worked to keep my face neutral, buying a few moments to gather my thoughts.Now thinking of applying to competitive colleges, she googled her high school's rankings to estimate what her chances would be of getting into an Ivy League school. She found out her mother had deliberately sent her to a shithole school.
Najya's shock had turned to boiling, and the seatbelt had barely clicked before she was confronting me. I had braced myself for this moment, spent nearly a decade expecting it, preparing for it. When Najya was entering pre-K, my husband, Faraji, and I decided to send her to the type of school that wealthier families with choices uniformly avoid -- one that is low-income and mostly Black. Our decision had been informed by values shaped by my years of reporting on the enduring and too often seemingly hopeless battle for school integration.Note that this Race Communist had gone to a good school, but denied this to her daughter.
... In New York, a combination of housing segregation and "academic" sorting, called school choice, that begins as early as pre-K means most Black students -- even middle-class ones -- are forced to attend racially segregated schools with high rates of poverty.
LOL, she thought that her daughter's mere presence would improve the school. This sounds like a lie. It sounds like she sent her daughter to a shit school to boost her own career by proving how Blackety Black she was, and is now trying to justify that selfish choice.
Being given access to the most resourced public schools in my hometown allowed me to flourish academically, and I am convinced that the integrated education my husband and I received set the foundation that has allowed us to become the successful upper-middle-class family that my daughter was born into. We are both beneficiaries of educational opportunities that were forced into existence by generations of Black parents willing to put their most personal stake -- their own children -- in the fight for school equality for all Black children. ... And yet decades later, integration now exists for a minority of Black children -- usually those born to families like ours who have the money to pay for private schools or live in tonier ZIP codes zoned to heavily white public schools, or who can pay for tutoring that allows their children, from a very young age, to test into programs for "gifted" students. Most Black students, however, languish in the type of schools that the law was supposed to have eradicated. So, like the generations of Black parents who came before us, Faraji and I felt an obligation to make educational decisions based on the collective good and not just our individual advantage. New York is considered one of this nation's most liberal cities, while operating a school system that is among the most racially segregated. This segregation exists because policymakers and affluent parents -- even those who profess a belief in integration and equality, -- shed their advocacy at the schoolhouse door and refuse to take or support any substantial action to integrate the city's schools. Faraji and I decided that our role in this struggle meant upending the status quo and sending our child not to a wealthy white school but to a poor Black one. ... We thought by sending Najya to a mostly low-income and Black school, we could help improve it for all the children there.
I hadn't intended at first to write about our decision. But a few months into the academic year, P.S. 307 became embroiled in an integration battle when parents protested the reassignment of their children from a wealthy and predominantly white school to ours. It felt impossible for me not to weigh in.See? There was a school controversy on the Upper West Side -- I assume this is the case of school that resisted having minority students air-lifted in; leftwing Daily Show cow Samantha Bee was one of the many white liberals fighting it -- and so she ax-grinded about it. And having put herself on the record, she had to show she was no hypocrite, so she dumped her daughter into a shit school.
In 2016, I wrote an essay in this magazine called "Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City," about our experience in a system in which educational inequality was widely accepted. Our daughter, then a kindergartner with Afro puffs, a plaid school uniform and Jordan-clad feet, appeared on the cover. The piece struck a chord in a way I could not have predicted. Readers flooded my inbox and posted hundreds of comments. Producers invited me for interviews, book publishers came calling and I was asked to speak all over the country by communities and institutions grappling with the issue of school segregation. The essay spurred community meetings in places near and far; and in New York City, it helped ignite parent and student activism around a subject that had largely disappeared from public discourse. Even a decade later, parents still share with me how my essay led them to make similar educational decisions for their children. In the outside world, my choice had earned me valor. And yet that day, under the withering glare of my daughter, the words that I was formulating sounded hollow to my ears even before they passed my lips.Virtue signalling by harming your children. Now she gaslights her daughter:
Yeah, you did. You are a deranged, bitter, racist, narcissistically evil cunt. By the way, this article is about 4,000 words long. It's an epic. I can only assume she digs herself deeper into a hole of self-justification and ego as it goes along, but that will remain an assumption on my part, because I can't read this evil racist's defense of child sacrifice any longer.
"Your school is not bad," I told her, modulating my voice. "What are you talking about?" Najya grew agitated. "You know what I am talking about. We looked up our school! We saw the test scores. We saw the ratings." She ticked off the school's below-state average reading and math scores, and that it ranked poorly on a popular school-rating website. I said I was aware of her school's academic rankings, but that test scores alone do not define a school. Glancing between her and the road, I told her everything that I had said a hundred times on stages, in interviews, in discussions since I had made her a symbol of how the choices we make can help sustain -- or dismantle -- educational inequality. I talked about the deep inequality in New York's schools and how, like those Black families who came before us, we had an obligation to be part of the struggle of our larger community. Even if her schools were not academically the strongest, I explained, her father and I knew that we could provide for her tutoring and any other assistance to make up for what her school may have lacked. But my child just shook her head, her face a mask of disbelief, and something else: betrayal. "So you had money to send me to one of the best schools, and you chose not to?" she said, hurling her words. "Because other kids are disadvantaged, you didn't want to put me in a great school?" Najya was asking what I'd accomplished by not choosing the "best" school for her. And the honest answer is, I don't know. When it comes to the choices my husband and I have made about public education, these days I feel that I failed both my values and my child.
Rich Lowry
@RichLowry It's bad enough that Nikole Hannah-Jones sacrificed her child's education to her racial ideology, but she experienced the dismal results--and *learned literarily nothing from the experience*. You'd think she'd be radicalized against the teacher unions and the complacent, self-serving NYC education bureaucracy--which is run by people who agree with her politically--but apparently it doesn't even occur to her. If there's one lesson she should have taken from this experience, it's that consequential decisions about your child's future shouldn't be driven by an obsession with racial solidarity. That's not how the NYC white and Asian parents that Hannah-Jones scorns think about educational decisions--overwhelmingly, they simply don't want the prospects of their children blighted by scandalously incompetent schools. They freak-out if their kids aren't getting homework, if the lunch period is unsupervised mayhem, etc., not as part of a conspiracy to leave behind black kids, but out of a intense focus on their duty as parents to see that their own children are getting the best education possible. Nikole Hannah Jones clearly could have learned a lot from them.

In NYC, this is true...she'd have been out 60K+ per year, and didn't want that hit to her personal pocketbook. And, notice it was a joint decision with her husband - he wanted the money to keep rolling in for the race grifting, too...going to private school put that at risk on top of the 60K...it was all about them vs their kids...the ultimate "all about me" parents...
Not to be confused with the parents who live through their kids...we now have the ones looking to destroy their kids to further themselves...

It is the new morality: Sacrificing the children for politics and status.
This was thrown into high relief during COVID, but it has its roots in the past where the children were supposed to be the proof and actualization of cultural aspirations.
Just that past generations looked to wealth, status and societal achievement as cultural aspirations, and I have no idea what they are now.
Extra moral? Which is why they are such a miserable gaggle of bluenose prigs?

And she'll either fail out because she doesn't know fractions, or grade inflation will lead her to graduate Magna Cum Laude, and she'll get a meaningless job at some connected corp where she becomes a net negative to the bottom line but the corp accepts because to admit otherwise would be cultural suicide for the C-Suite idjit who hired her.

MOST leftist parents send (and have always sent) their kids to bad/crazy schools as a political statement, thereby ruining their own kids' lives. This has been true since the '60s.
Flashback to the '60s and '70s: In those places where there was "bussing," it was approved and implemented by upscale white liberals. Who, in so doing, caused their kids to be a part of it.
They imagined, hilariously, that what would happen is that busloads of underprivileged black kids would arive at their own kids' well-appointed schools and be thereby uplifted and make society equal. And that is how the media has always presented it.
But left out of their calculations and never depicted in the media, is the fact that for every black child bussed to a good white school, a corresponding white child was bussed to terrible black school in the ghetto.
Which white children endured this? THE CHILDREN OF THE WHITE LIBERALS WHO VOTED FOR BUSING.
So they ended up sending their own children to ghetto schools.
And this has been going on for generations.

Abortion is a RIGHT, knowing their children will never have an abortion, because they have the wealth for both birth control, and to take care of a child once the decision to have their GrandKids is made.

Muzzies began slave export, and they took the majority of slaves out of Africa. Africans were enslaving each other, like Native Americans, long before white people interfered. The Age of Expansion means that you had access to global supplies. Cross-race enslavement was at that point possible at the scale that makes it hideous today.

Slavery and the slave trade are thousands of years old. The Phoenicians were shipping slaves as cargo 4000 years ago. Slavery is referenced all throughout the Old Testament. It's been part of human history about as long as there's been human history. The difference is western civilization (mostly the Brits and the US) eventually fought it and outlawed it. Slavery still exists in backwards-ass middle eastern and sub-Saharan countries. I'm over all this bullshít.

Did she think her kid would magically develop intellectually at the same level? That she would love to read, be able to sit still and concentrate, learn geometry and trig, etc? What outcome did she expect?
I don't want to read that 4000-word "woopsie" either, but I'd like to know if her daughter has discovered that she can't read, write, or math for shit.

And here's the real shitty thing:
The taxpayers will have paid hundreds of thousands for the education of each of those kids.
On the promise that universal education benefits all of society.
And none of them, not a one, will be employable upon graduation.
So the taxpayers will be forced, again at the barrel end of a gun, to fund their idle, destructive, corrosive lives until they get killed in gang violence or die, drug overdose or otherwise.

Slavery and the slave trade are thousands of years old.

==================
I'm seeing a few content creators on X who post about the slave trade in the Ottoman empire and elsewhere throughout the Muslim world. This stuff ought to be pushed HARD at every damn Muslim running for office -- but GOPers won't do it. I'd be screaming Abdul el-Sayed down about reparations, I'd be describing the horrors in detail, I'd be flaunting the numbers.

As my hard-left, Jewish history professor, who wrote a book of African history, would say:
"for every slave that went west out of Africa, two went east."
There are no black populations of any significance in the Middle East.
I just learned that the other day there is a black quarter in Gaza, where the black muslims are only allowed to live.
The local word for it isn't "little Africa" or some cutesy western-style term.
It's Arabic for "slave."
Every black who is a muslim or supports a muslim is either is a slave or wishes to be a slaver.

The girl is probably higher IQ than the blacks that were bussed out. She likely learned those White Supremacist traits ... work hard, study hard. So she could do OK even in a worse school ... if she doesn't get stabbed, or groomed, or beaten up every other day.
The problem with black neighborhoods is kids grow up with the black culture, and a sense of victimhood and entitlement, at the same time. And there really is an IQ gap.

And here's the real shitty thing:
The taxpayers will have paid hundreds of thousands for the education of each of those kids.
On the promise that universal education benefits all of society.
And none of them, not a one, will be employable upon graduation.
So the taxpayers will be forced, again at the barrel end of a gun, to fund their idle, destructive, corrosive lives until they get killed in gang violence or die, drug overdose or otherwise.

Because rich people in rich neighborhoods with good schools will continue to send their kids to those schools when half of the students in those schools come from Section 8 families. /s

Nikole is a "Helicopter Ride Parent".
She took her child and dropped her off at a school simply because it was black. Like, kicked the kid out of the hovering helicopter like she was some South American presidente, then flew away
Did mommy follow up on the schooling? On the homework? Home teaching for any gaps? Doesn't sound like it.
She only found out because the poor kid confronted her. And said kid was smart enough to realize that the cubbron stunt of a egg donor ruined her childhood education as a political stunt. And said donor only understood when it was directly pointed out to her. Well, maybe didn't quite understand. Just enough to realize she had her next publishing article for the next deadline.
If DataRepublican can standardized her "6 weeks = 2 years" AI-based training regime for kids, victims like Nikole's child might actually succeed.
And the 'teachers' that were directly responsible for the failure? Directly; not indirect ones tied down by Lowest-Common-Denominator thugs-in-seats because the admins get $$$ for each filled seat and passed-through kid. Those teachers and admins should get their own helicopter rides.

Sure, it might (MIGHT) benefit those using the vouchers, if they choose that route. But, more likely than not, it would just denigrate a functioning school (not because of race...but because of attitude).
My personal opinion is that schools improving has more to do with discipline. Teachers should be held accountable for the illiteracy...BUT, at the same time I understand the concept of "leading a horse to water". Which brings up to necessary task of cutting bad horses from the herd, and not being afraid to act without consideration to skin color. I see videos of classroom situations and compare them to my own experience, and it's ridiculous. Half the class if not more would have been suspended for their behavior.

The vouchers allow the parents that do care to help their children escape. These probably have instilled better work ethics on their kids, if not they should be expelled.
When I was a kid we were in a catholic elementary for most of my time, and then in a good public school system when finances couldn't support. In the 80s and 90s about half of Chicago Catholic schools' students weren't Catholic, just parents who wanted to avoid failing public schools.

It is interesting.
Who, usually, buys the most music generally?
Who listens to it most?
I’d say younger people, 10 - 30, let’s say, spend the most time listening to music and they influence musical trends the most. And if that age group, I’d say the majority of those are women.
Could be that that age group is growing tired of rap and hip hop and are listening to other genres or classic rock more these days.
I hope so, it would be better for the industry to diversify from rap, pop, folk-rock and Divas.
It would be better for my playlist, too.

You reminded me of something. Do you remember that benefit concert they did for the Palisades fires? They raised over $100 Million. The money didn't go directly to the fire victims. Instead it went to a bunch of non-profits that were listed on the organizing company's website....and since taken down (rather abruptly, I might add).
Every single one of those non-profits was a music producer. One of them was Will.I.Am....and then a bunch of similar never heard of before foundations. Only a minute fraction of that $100 Million was used for anything related to the fire in Palisades. The rest? Your guess is as good as mine. All rapp music producers though.

Trump Announces Ban on CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from White House Press Room
Have you heard of Natalie Harp? If not, you haven't been paying attention to CNN and MSNOW and the Fake News Outlets. She's Trump's personal aide, and she's pretty, blonde, and reportedly very loyal. So of course Democrats and the Democrat-Media began suggesting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is having a sexual affair with her. This is really going to set off the Fake News Media: Reportedly, it was Natalie Harp who shared clips of the fake news coverage of these outlets that prompted Trump to ban them.
President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to ban three news networks from the White House, characterizing his actions as a crackdown on "fake news" and not an attack on the free press. ... "The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America," he posted on Truth Social. "It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!"
The Fake News Outlets are now suing, and the rest of the left-wing propaganda networks are suspending coverage of the White House in solidarity with their fellow propagandists.
Natalie Harp, a close aide to President Donald Trump, reportedly showed him a series of media clips before he moved to ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, CNN reported, citing "people familiar with the matter." ... Harp, for her part, has been in the news recently, with the media focusing on her intense loyalty to the president. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., kicked off speculation about their relationship when he mentioned her in a campaign speech.
Here is some of the work of these totally unbiased outlets:
Major television networks agreed on Monday to suspend their pooled coverage of President Donald Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative. The decision escalates a showdown between the Trump administration and the legacy media outlets following Trump's decision to ban MS NOW, CNN and Politico reporters from entering the White House, the New York Times reported. Those networks plan to file a lawsuit against Trump over the ban. For years, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC have shared television coverage of presidential events, pooling the financial costs and distributing the footage that is aired by news organizations globally. The networks perform these duties on a rotation, and CNN had been scheduled to cover Trump's travel to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.
Here's Jake Tapper repeatedly spreading the Fine People Hoax, falsely claiming that Trump never condemned white supremacy. He repeatedly used deceptively cut video to push the false narrative.

Think he'll find that it's not as fun to antagonize liberals when it's only being seen on conservative news networks. it's a blessing if the actual press is being thrown out of the WH. Let them go do actual journalism, and report the facts as are, then leave the story with, "The white house failed to comment"
Fox news was threatened with removal from one meeting, and everyone stood up and did the same for them. They know that if they do not do it now, they will be out during the next Democrat presidency.
they’re only doing it now because that’s what Trump wants. He wanted all the opposition out of the room for when he bends over for Xi but having no one else in the room is even more ideal. Even Fox News might struggle to explain away footage of Trump on his knees.
Happy dance! The moment he realizes no one is following him, he's going to melt down. Love it! Vote Blue!

I never read the ONT, (work) but I often scan it and sometimes even Piper's ette couture bit.
When I lived near NYC, I used to watch the fashion week coverage on the local cable channel. Not that I care about fashion, but the runway was the best chance of catching a stray nipple on TV at the time. (I would not pay for premium -- i am not a perv or anything.)
What the ette couture slot needs is some of that. Just a suggestion.

GOP has the same approval rating with white, non-college educated voters as it did in October of 2024.
The polling misses this year (through primaries) have been centered around white, non-college educated voters whom pollsters have missed.

- Obviously there is a real problem with the press and bias. They are not informing, but using the WH to leverage their propaganda.
- But I think this approach is wrong since the LIV sees it as unfair. It does nothing to reach the people who need to be reached.
- my approach would be to keep the press room just as it is, but never talk to the fuckers. No trump, no press secretary
Trump could hold "impromptu" pressers daily, but never when they are around. Make their position worthless. On trips, he would have to arrange a way to split off from them and talk to real people, but it can be done.

Posted by: because it would be interesting to know at September 21, 2026 01:51 PM (anL5R)

Well, if the misses in the primaries are any indication...decently well.
The thing is that senate races drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them.
They'll be like 98% people who voted in the previous presidential election and roughly 90% of overall turnout levels.
Another issue with recent polling is the sheer number of people who say they didn't vote in 2024 saying they'll vote in 2026.
It's usually something like 2% for midterms (can go as high as 10% in presidentials). But these polls have 20% not 2024 voters.
This is just...bad data that is creating these polls.

How do they turn out in mid term elections?
Posted by: because it would be interesting to know
Previously, they (Trump's base) haven't shown up during midterms, hurting Republicans. While he's doing much better on immigration this term, that's old news. I think his base is probably a little demotivated by high gas prices, the dragged out conflict with Iran, and non-stop confusion on Israel/Palestine (I know, I think it's dumb, but it matter to people on both sides more than I thought. Some right wing voters really are buying this Jews run everything nonsense...)
Midterms generally have lower turnout, so even minor changes in turnout will have big effects.

- the Russia hoax

Force them to not only correct the record, but state WHY they got it wrong in the first place. And no lies about that. "We regret the error; it is not up to our journalistic stands," none of that. "We didn't check the facts because of our bias, and once we were presented with the facts we chose not to correct the record because we'd rather everyone believed the lies."

He's actually really controlled, but the left has been told that he's a ticking time bomb for a decade now.
For all the confrontations he's had over the years, all the antagonism, his blow ups amount to calling people some names and walking off.
The blow up doesn't seem to be in his character.

Sarah J Fields reporting.
BREAKING UPDATE 🚨 - ERICKA LOMICK SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN FOR TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 93
After my article was released regarding Ericka Lomick, the Democratic nominee for Texas House District 93 in Tarrant County, she has now announced that she is suspending her campaign.
Her announcement states:
“After careful consideration, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for House District 93,” Lomick said. “Although this was not an easy decision, I am convinced that it was the right one for the people of HD 93.”
This comes immediately following my reporting regarding Lomick’s candidacy and her documented federal criminal history.

They forgot to reveal that the "It" is BigGov. BigGov takes control of every village.
BigGov needs to do home inspections, to see if you have any indications of MAGA support, or if you don't support climate change and BigPharma. Those things could void your Medicare and/or Social Security.
My insurance provider had called a few times to schedule my home review, or whatever they call coming to inspect my house, to see if they can find a reason to drag me out, I presume.

AfD Wins Another Regional Election in Germany; Ruling Chancellor's Party Collapses So Badly It Fails to Win a Single Seat in the Regional Parliament
Far-right AfD wins again as Germany's Merz slides Germany's ruling center-right party, Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union, was shut out of a state parliament for the first time Sunday as the far-right Alternative for Germany scored its second victory this month. Why it matters: The result marks the third state election AfD has won -- and its second this month -- underscoring its growing strength even as Germany's other major parties refuse to govern with it. Driving the news: Merz, who has low approval ratings, told reporters that "reforms have to come."By "reforms," he does not mean that the CDU will embrace the AfD's winning issue of immigration realism. He means that the CDU will join with the communists to ban the AfD and further restrict speech so that no one can publicly agitate for immigration realism.
AfD won about 38% of the vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, while the CDU recorded its worst result in any German state election since World War II. The CDU fell from 13% to 4.9% and lost all representation. In Berlin's state election, the Left more than doubled its vote share to 25.7% and finished first for the first time. Flashback: AfD won its first state election in Thuringia in 2024, though other parties kept it out of government because they refused to enter into a coalition.They refuse to enter coalitions (when they're asked at all) because the other parties refuse to cede ground on the only issue AfD is running on. They want the AfD's support without giving the AfD any actual ground on their main issue.
Merz says he has no intention to resign, but others are demanding he step aside to allow another cuck to fail.
Earlier this month, it won 43.8% in Saxony-Anhalt, but fell just three seats short of a majority. It is now seeking enough outside support to form Germany's first far-right state government since World War II. Vice President JD Vance met with AfD's co-leader days before last year's federal election and told the Munich Security Conference there was "no room for firewalls," referring to mainstream parties' refusal to govern with the AfD. ... Germany's domestic intelligence service continues to monitor AfD nationally as a suspected extremist organization. A court in February blocked the agency from classifying the entire party as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization while a broader case proceeds. The anti-migration party calls for "remigration" -- large-scale deportations and encouraging immigrants to leave. It also wants to abandon the euro, lift Russian sanctions and end weapons deliveries to Ukraine.
BERLIN -- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday pledged to overhaul his party's platform and decision-making processes after suffering another humiliating election defeat, calling the result a "major turning point."Here is the change he's considering.
... "It is a dramatic and unprecedented result for the CDU ... an entire state parliamentary caucus has been eliminated from the state legislature," Merz told reporters Monday at his party's headquarters in Berlin. "We will feel its repercussions for a long time," he added. Party officials had warned that an outcome below 5% for the CDU in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania would unleash a storm of criticism and renew calls for a change in leadership, or Kanzlertausch. But Merz is clinging to power -- for now. Unless he steps aside voluntarily, forcing a leadership change risks triggering a snap election at a time when polls show the far right to be the country's most popular party -- making such a move unlikely for the time being. That could quickly change if party members begin speaking out against him. That's why Merz has vowed to chart a new course for the CDU, announcing consultations in the coming days to unite the party's rank and file behind him. ... "We will discuss the party's work and structure, our platform, and the CDU's public image," he said. "To be frank, we no longer have satisfactory answers to too many questions. And that is something we will and must change."
During a meeting with science students, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly derided the principle of freedom of speech and defended the need for the state to "protect" citizens from American-style libertarianism on the internet. What would have typically been an unremarkable photo-op for the increasingly unpopular German leader drew condemnation over a major gaffe (read: accidentally revealing his true feelings) as Merz held court at the Chancellery with the winners of the 'Youth Researchers' competition on Tuesday. When pressed by a young student on whether his plans to end online anonymity would impede personal liberties, Chancellor Merz reacted indignantly, declaring: "Please, no one comes to me with free speech... That has nothing to do with free speech anymore." The supposedly conservative politician -- who made sure to use English when repeating the phrase "free speech" as if to mock the very concept -- said that he rejects the "libertarian understanding of politics," which he claimed emanates from the United States. Merz said that his vision of a liberal society was rather one in which the state steps in to protect citizens "from false information, from personal degradation, from discrimination" on the internet. The Chancellor complained that in the "analogue world" of his youth, German newspapers were liable to face legal action for spreading false claims, but this is no longer possible with the advent of anonymous social media profiles, and thus the media landscape lacks "hygiene". He also asserted that anonymity allows the proliferation of bot-generated messages, which he claimed were instrumental in helping the Alternative for Germany (AfD) trounce his globalist Christian Democrats in the Saxony-Anhalt state elections earlier this month. Yet, it is doubtful that any amount of censorship from Berlin would bolster the Chancellor's faltering coalition government, which rumours suggest may be on its last legs.That article was from five days ago. Beege Wellborn: [Bloomberg:] "We can't sugarcoat it, it was a disaster," Merz told reporters in Berlin in a statement earlier directly after exit polls were released, breaking with a past practice for chancellors to speak the day after an election. He gathered senior CDU officials to party headquarters, where he sought to gauge their support for his leadership.
The far left party Der Linke, which just means The Left, was fueled, of course, by the Karen Vote.
And as with Mamdani's win in New York, Die Linke's victory was driven almost exclusively by young voters and women coming out for the communist/socialist parties.
Visegrád 24But are they really the Karens we're used to? Or New Foreign Karens?
@visegrad24 This is how people under the age of 25 voted in the Berlin regional election tonight. 71% of women under 25 voted for the far-left, the left or the Greens. 51% of women under 25 voted for the party that is the direct, legal and organizational successor to communist party that ruled East Germany as a dictatorship between 1949 to 1989.
Eesh. In 15-20 years almost every country in Europe will be Islamic and Communist. How are you? Did you get some good rest in?
Jo Bhakdi
@JOBhakdi
Germans wonder how young people , especially women , could vote majority communist in Berlin. They wonder what went wrong : do they not have a dad ? Don't they think? Don't they have loyalty to their country? But those who ask these questions picture the wrong "young women" in their mind. Yes, they have a dad. Yes, they are deeply loyal to their country. But neither their dad nor their country are German. Young people with a migration background make up nearly 50% of all children and teenagers living in Berlin. The new version of the communist parties in Sweden and Germany are not delusional white female liberals. They are clan-connected invasion machines. They are not dumb, they are not naive, they are not pampered. They are brutal, determined and ready to plunder. And if you were a young woman in that crowd, you also would vote communist. Because you want to live.

Traffic out of the Gulf region is completely recovered when combining S2S transfers, regular traffic with AIS off, and pipelines, and has been for weeks. The Saudi pipeline that was attacked? It was actually only running at half capacity (roughly 3.5 million barrels a day rather than the max of 7 million), and it reportedly saw almost no actual stoppage of movement because of the attack and minimal use.
Ukraine attacking refining facilities in Russia is having a greater effect on gas prices than Iran now.
And, yes, our diminished refining capacity is a major player as well. I think the US government has legal authority to force the shut down facilities back into production if an emergency gets declared.

There, the Ottoman Caliphs liked to practice fratricide and kill off each other. And Erdogan is rather stupid if he thinks he can recreate a new Ottoman Empire. Turks and Iranians are outsiders to the core of Islam which is explicitly biased toward Arabs. It is just that Arabs get to fighting each other and the Iranians and Turks have gotten to take advantage of internal schisms.
There is a reason that a lot of people in these countries want to live in the West such as doctors, engineers, etc. (not the imported street trash that Red Cross and the other NGOs bring in). But then they revert back to the same trash culture as the numbers build in the countries that they escaped to. And their kids embrace it.

A couple things about the Far Left dominating in Berline. First, there are just under 500,000 Muslims living there. Secondly, the moment the Far Left made their stride, The Central Council of Jews in Germany protested the result pointing out that those candidates start each appearance with a call for Jewish deaths by repeating the "From the River to the Sea" mantra.
It's interesting because previously, it was the AfD that was the recipient of a constructed narrative that they are the "second coming of the Nazis". In fact, the Associated Press went so far as to state after the Saxony massive win for AfD that it was the first time since WW2 that the Far Right dominated that election...which is nonsense since the WW2 Nazis were Authoritarian Socialists. But, NOW, the Central Council of Jews is targetting the Far Left with that narrative which puts those opposing AfD in a conundrum. They can't ignore the Jewish Council's concerns...there is still a lot of guilt in that country. And it weakens the narrative against AfD.

Problem for Euroland is that they lived in a fool's paradise which meant worshipping idiotic ideals like Net Zero, soft power, and endless immigration from Islamic states (probably a backdoor deal to get cheaper oil is my guess). They kissed Russian ass for years for cheap nat gas and oil as well and spent all the money on socialism rather than NATO, building up their own economies, and internal cohesion.
Now the bills are coming due and it is unlikely that the US is going to continue to foot the bill regardless of party now. And China is destroying what remains of any Euro industrial power along with expensive oil. And other than a few Eastern Euro nations like Poland, their military power could be taken on by a pack of gay Cub Scouts.

A welfare state is funded by a robust economy. And Europe is no longer that. They don't innovate, they don't monetize what they do innovate, they regulate the life out of what they do monetize. They're collapsing demographically and becoming uncompetitive due to surging energy costs and stupid policies.

I don't agree actually except on spending. And that was baked into the cake when Eisenhower signalled his acceptance of the New Deal and Nixon/Ford did not roll back the Great Society. Both thought fighting Communism was more important than trying to roll back the New Deal. Thus, the entitlement explosion was baked into the cake. And the Dems, desperate for new voters, decided to replace Americans with foreigners and the Bush GOPe corporatists thought cheap labor and American imperialism via Invade the World and Invite the World was just dandy.
Trump is probably the most conservative president in actions since Calvin Coolidge absent the fiscal situation. And he is dragging the GOP along when it desperately wants to keep its junior status in the uniparty. Remains to be seen if it endures past his term in office.

And that the soft, cozy dreamworld of Before Trump will return as soon as he's gone.

Yes and no. There's an alternate timeline where we still protect them but the Euros aren't passive pussies. Eastern Europe shows that way.
The Euros' problem is simple. Right now, even people like Elon who should know better, are trumpeting that AI can make people so productive that most of the population can just live on welfare/UBI/whatever you wanna call it. The Euros made that same exact call about industrialization in the early 1900s and went all in on implementing it.
The results are obvious: they're all weak and soft and their economies are a joke. They've missed every major technological leap of the last 100 years. California, even now, obliterates them economically, never mind the US as a whole.

Depends, containment is a very difficult strategy to pursue (US Cold War policy from Truman to Reagan) over the years simply because people get tired of politics ruling everything.

Germany society is highly segmented as are most European countries. There is a distinct class for everyone in society, and you are pretty much locked into it at birth.
Germany therefore does have a warrior class, and they are very proud of that distinction. Is what you are born to do.
But they also believe in order, and are terrified of chaos. So they stay within the system, hoping for the best, and to be honest, they are grinding down the Establishment. Trying to ban opposition parties is a sign of weakness, and the AfD is only going to get stronger.

Any gesture of reconciliation on their side can only be taken as a hudna, a deception, a period on non-conflict that lasts only as long as necessary for them to regroup and resume their attacks.

Because Merz is taking orders from WEF types that want this. Same as UK prime ministers regardless of party and about as true for Meloni, etc.
I think the WEF types want an implosion of civilization to kill off a fair chunk of the bourgeoise leaving only peasants and aristos. To do that, they have to impoverish, demoralize, and destroy the middle class. Basically to revert to feudalism.
I think the only possibility that may allow the people to reassert control over these ghouls is by doing the same thing their ancestors did to smash feudalism. The rise of kings versus aristos and a revitalized Church that ostracizes anti social feudal aristos with deviant tendencies.

If you look at the run-up to him gaining power, you see an almost French series of failed governments, snap elections, fragile coalitions and so the current system is designed to prevent that from happening and it worked pretty well for a long time.
But the Establishment is out of ideas and now wants to change the rules rather than solve problems, and so you have the same story across all of Western Europe - only the "radical" or "extreme" parties offer a solution and the solution to stop them is to coalition governments which accomplish nothing other than defying popular opinion.
The problem with the firewall is that the AfD is no longer a newcomer, and in efforts to stop it, clowns like Merz actually make them seem reasonable.

I am not sure that is true. Trump on social issues has been trampling DEI and he was instrumental in getting Roe v. Wade overturned. His military policy is a direct repudiation of the gutless Democrats after the Class of 1974 and the antithesis of Carterism.
==========
Avoiding entitlements is political realism as unless you have an alternative for a lot of desperate folks, you will get your ass voted out of office by messing with Medicare and Social Security. So Trump is going after Medicaid which is riddled with fraud and whose recipients vote Democrat anyway by fraud or by temperament.

Germans have a tremendous sense of humor and are great people to party with. I recall taking a castle tour and the same day bikers descended on the town. These were Germans, so clean cut, wearing motosuits on their BMW machines. Not a beard in sight.
But they seemed to be having a blast, chugging beer and singing drinking songs. I mean Oktoberfest is very much a thing.
Germans don't have any filter in terms of coarse language. When Merkel was first wrecking things the word "shitstorm" was introduced and regularly appeared in headlines.

One of my key political moments was when I learned about the Oregon double-blind study on Medicaid that found that the spending did absolutely nothing to increase health outcomes compared to having no insurance.
It did make people feel slightly better about their finances, though. It was the only positive felt.
And it didn't lead to a stampede to end or even curtail the program. It just kept growing without question.

Hospitals, doctors, medical supply, and nursing homes benefit tremendously from Medicaid and these are important political players at the ground level. Same as insurance companies for Obamacare subsidies. Corporations and non profits love a stable revenue stream and no price competition.

It was more the other way around. Pagan festivals foreshadowed the coming Truth of the Incarnation. See CS Lewis on this subject. Christianity is a myth that is true. It was natural for festivals to take place on dates of observable sostice and equinox. Just as it was natural that the Light of World would come into the world near the Winter Solstice.
About biblical "proof" of the Nativity taking place around the time of the Winter Solstice, the date was determined by John Chrysostom based on the date that Zacharias (father of John the Baptist) would have been conducting his incense duties in the Temple. There was a set schedule for those priests. The date of John's conception can therefore be dated, and from that the date of the Annunciation.

We are actually not in 2026 at all any more. We are in an alternate time line, but because we lost energy in the transfer we went backwards in time. The other earth gained energy went it swapped with us and it is in 2026 but doesn't know it either.

My definition of fascism: the government makes all decisions it wants to make.
So if the government feels you need to be "protected" from speech it does not like, it "protects" you from speech it does not like. And you, of course, need to be "protected" from the idea that this might not be so great an idea.

Well, I guess all is lost and we should just kill ourselves.
Or, Trafalgar changed its methodology since it was good and is now actually a bad pollster.
Which they did.
They changed their turnout models to account for recent misses, which totally fixes everything, I guess. Not to mention that their recent polls have sucked ass. They've mostly been polling the SC senate primary recently, and they were...way off.
Whatever, man.
You can believe that Texas is going to go more blue than 2018 after years of Texas going hard red, or you can acknowledge that polling is broken.

The Titanic featured a heated saltwater swimming pool, often referred to as a “swimming bath” or plunge pool, which was a luxurious amenity for its first-class passengers
The pool was situated on the starboard side of F Deck, near the bottom of the grand staircase and adjacent to the Turkish Baths, providing a convenient and integrated relaxation area
iIts placement in the lower decks helped maintain the ship’s stability while accommodating the weight of the pool
Pool Dimensions and Features
The pool measured approximately 30 feet long and 14 feet wide, with a constant depth of 6 feet, making it relatively modest compared to modern pools but sufficient for leisurely swimming

I think non response from Trump voters is off the charts and all of the pollsters are noticing that working class Trump supporters are almost impossible to reach. So polling has become something like a drunk looking under the streetlamp for his lost keys.
The lighting is better to search under the streetlamp than the darkness.
Some polls are still using registered voters which is ridiculous at this stage, there will be no great new influx of voter registration in most states now as most cut off about thirty days before the election (about two weeks from now). So it all becomes a matter of turnout. And whether the Trump working class voters of 2024 turnout at comparable levels to their Dem anti Trump counterparts.

Talarico spent tens of millions of dollars to get a summer polling bump.
Paxton spent almost nothing, and is now outspending Talarico 10-1, not just on ads but GOTV.
Summer ad spend is a waste of money to do anything but raise some name recognition. And that does only so much in a Trump+14 state when you're a Democrat in general and a weird Democrat with a long history of saying batshit crazy stuff like Talarico specifically.

Well, the take away is this. Sheeran (whether you like his music or not) understands that entertainment is a popularity contest of sorts. So, he makes a point to remain apolitical for the most part. Macklemore is just the opposite and was an opening act on his tour. He does the whole pro-Hamas nonsense etc. So Sheeran showed him the door. Then all the opening acts quit as did his Sheeran's touring band. Sheeran didn't apologize....just did his next show with a loop machine (which the dude is a master at)....and continued the tour.

I think it can be beneficial. Rogers waited until after the primary and then pounded El-Sayed, basically defining him before he could define himself. I live in a liberal town and have yet to see any El-Sayed literature, but I'm getting bombarded by Rogers, James and Barrett material. Barrett is also doing some pretty effective radio pieces pointing out he is a veteran, is willing to vote independent of Trump, and that his opponent wants to defund the police.
Trump also is going to uncork lots of stuff between now and Election Week.

THE MORNING RANT: Trump Executive Order Targets Employers that Lay Off American Citizens to Hire Foreign H-1B Labor
Microsoft announced that it will lay off 4,800 people total and 1,600 from the corporation's XBOX division, which makes and sells the dominant video game console. Meanwhile, Microsoft has been approved this year to hire from foreign countries 2,273 employer-sponsored, non-immigrant workers under what is known as the H-1B visa program.The business fad of replacing American employees with foreign chattel labor had become so “respected” that even the semi-public TVA utility tried to do this a few years ago – until President Trump got wind of it. Then-CEO Jeff Lyash thought it would be clever to find “cost savings” by laying off American citizens. Apparently cost savings helped justify his $8 million compensation. Even worse, Lyash made the laid-off employees train their foreign replacements – the corporate term was “knowledge transfer.” President Trump was so angry that he fired several TVA board members, including the chairman, for allowing this to happen, and for not immediately firing Lyash. Donald Trump takes H-1B abuse seriously. Disney also engaged in the despicable practice of making employees train their own H-1B replacements before dismissing them: “It’s Not A Small World After All: Disney IT Employee Trains His Own H-1B Replacement Then Gets Laid Off” [The Dallas Express – 4/27/2026] It’s often a condition in these situations that if the employee being let go wishes to receive a severance package, he must first train the
America’s adversary, the People’s Republic Of China, provides another 12% of all H-1Bs. A whopping 82% of all H-1Bs come from India and Communist China. Returning to the specific subject of today’s post, here is what President Trump’s new Executive Order entails:
• Companies petitioning for H-1B employees (or subcontracted H-1Bs) must disclose all previous and planned layoffs. Federal agencies must ensure that laid off workers are not being replaced with H-1Bs.
• To approve an H-1B going forward, a byzantine tangle of bureaucratic approvals will be needed from various federal agencies, with input required from the Departments of State, Labor, Homeland Security, Commerce, Education, and SBA. The process full of red tape is part of the deterrent. • The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division is going to start auditing previous applications to determine if violations have occurred and if enforcement penalties should be imposed. There may be consequences for employers replacing Americans with foreign labor, but the obvious intent is to re-set the playing field so that employers stop trying to find workarounds to replace their American workforce with imported labor. The text of President Trump’s executive order can be found at this link. Here is a sample of what it says:The abuse of cheaper H-1B labor places downward pressure on domestic pay. H-1B visa holders earn far less than comparable United States-born workers, despite the statutory mandate that H-1B workers be paid equally to their domestic peers, with the estimated wage gap starting at $9,000 and climbing as high as $20,000 in H-1B reliant industries. One company even warned its shareholders that restrictions on cheap H-1B labor could force the company to use “local” workers, which “may only be available at higher wages.” Many employers have laid off large numbers of highly skilled American workers, only to promptly hire large numbers of H-1B workers who are often lower-skilled and lower-paid. For instance, technology sector employers have collectively requested H-1B visas for hundreds of thousands of workers, yet have also laid off somewhere between 800,000 to 1.3 million American employees from 2022 through 2026. Employers have even forced laid off American workers to train their foreign replacements.One last comment: Socialism is flourishing as a political and economic concept right now. We on the political / economic right must repel the advance of socialism and protect the free market economy. But it is extremely deleterious to our cause when the corporate class is seeking the replacement of the American workforce with a foreign workforce by using the indentured servant model of labor.

3) For an Indian promoted to an executive position to replace his American staff with friends and relatives from his/her home region, enabling him/her to facilitate the immigration of his/her people, have a compliant, homogenous workforce AND to get kickbacks from each one of them with every paycheck forever.
See: former Walmart IT executive who was bringing in something like $30k a day in exployee kickback because he converted the entire Walmart IT division to Indians.

There are statutory limits on the fines that DOJ can ask for and the judiciary can impose.
Increases in fines will have to come from Congress.
Still, things like this rule change (looking at layoff history before approving H1-B visas) will have larger effects that the direct legal ramifications like fining.

The long term issue is reestablishing the pipeline of kids going into those key skills and that takes time. Unless h1b are eliminated the pipeline will never be filled. I have worked in tech during periods of skills shortages and *we trained kids off the street* for entry level jobs. This was common practice in many industries throughout history.

What Trump says is remarkably unimportant compared to the actual policy that happens.
As long as Stephen Miller is in charge of immigration, Trump can Boomer Brain talk about not going after this or that industry, and it won't matter.
Policy is far more important than rhetoric. And the policy is a ratchet one direction right now against immigration in all its forms.

If the Us was serious, they would fine any company that laid off Americans and replaced them with h1bs 10x the salary of each and every worker, going back the last 10 years of h1b hiring.
Then make them re-hire the American worker at whatever it costs to entice them back. And fire the h1b, and ship their smelly asses and their smelly family all back to hindustan.

I don't think Trump knew enough in his first term. He thought he would just "President" his ideas into execution. That's not real life. Even Barack Obama acknowledged that when he was pressed on why Gitmo remained open, despite him swearing for years that he'd shut it down on Day One. He said something like "I learned an awful lot about the realities and limits on Executive Power that I didn't know before I got here."
This time, Trump has had four years to build a team of cutthroats who don't give a fuck anymore.

Immigration enforcement will continue unabated if Dems win either chamber (they have no shot of winning the Senate) because the OBBB fully appropriated funds to DHS through 2028.
The DOJ will still be under Trump's control, fighting anti-white and anti-civilian actions in corporate and government spheres.
The military will still be under Trump's control.
Yes, there will be impeachment theater, but impeachment theater has led to the political strengthening of every president it's been done against. So, it won't lead to conviction (if they couldn't get it done post 1/6, they'll never get it done against Trump), and it'll just end up making Trump more popular.
Honestly, losing the House could actually make winning in 2028 easier without actually slowing down any real policy by the administration.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTER CONTINUES APACE: Merz’s CDU suffers total wipeout in state election.
The chancellor’s centre-Right party won 4.9 per cent of the vote in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, final results confirmed on Monday.
The hard-Right populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) took 38.2 per cent of the vote, while the hard-Left Die Linke beat the CDU in mayoral elections in Berlin. Mr Merz is scheduled to address the public on Monday afternoon.
The astonishingly poor result meant that, for the first time, the CDU failed to win enough votes to enter a state parliament in Germany.
Under the country’s voting system, parties that fall below the 5 per cent threshold are not assigned any seats in the next parliament.
Such a scenario was virtually unthinkable for the CDU – the German version of the Conservatives and a mainstay of coalition governments for decades – until Sunday night.

If these H1Bs are so very, very valuable, a literal budding Einstein if you will, these corporations would gladly pay $1,000,000 application fee to have them here.
They'd be fighting each other to be the first to land them.
Because they'd earn the company 10X, 50X or one hundred times that fee.
Instead, they all--to a man--howled and filed suit when Trump proposed a measly, mere $100,000 fee.
And that right there betrays the sole and only motivation for US corporations to hire H1B.

Take a trip around any muslim country and check out the bumper stickers. Do you know what you will never see? One of those retarded coexist stickers.
Name me another "religion" that demands it's adherents lie, cheat and murder anyone who doesn't submit to them. Muslims don't want to coexist, they want you to submit or die. It's right there in their manifesto.

Many, of not most, H1B hirings are illegal, if I’m reading the laws right. If the hiring process followed the actual law involved, they would end up finding an American qualified and willing to take the job.
This doesn’t necessarily make the immigrant a criminal, but it does make their employer a criminal. It was an illegal immigration.

America is a culture.
They can be ambivalent about it and do as much damage because they end up preferring their own.
I think back to the opening of The Godfather and the Sicilian man's insistence that he loves America as a contrast. Or the song America in West Side Story.
It was apparently a bit of a lie, Little Italy was a thing because Italians didn't want to become part of the American culture, instead choosing to recreate the Old Country on new shores, but it was still an idea that you could see in some form for a time.
Probably a concentrated effort to turn immigration views positive in a country that had effectively barred it for 40 years by the 1960s. But still.

Even within a country as large as the United States, it’s a prudent policy. For man years now, when traveling to a new place, I drink bottled water for at least several days until my body has had a chance to encounter the local microflora in small quantities, before tapering off bottled water use in favor of tap water.
It seems to have helped, a lot.
It would probably be less necessary if I were walking from, say, Texas to St. Augustine, because it would take longer. But flying or even driving across country means a very new environment very quickly.

This is a good point.
- the purpose of a company in usa is to make money, but the country has an interest that they do it using americans.
- they all track revenue per employee. usually mid 6 figures.
- OK, they claim to need foreigners for their skills and there is shortage. well then the fee for hiring them is now the revenue per employee - their salary. Make it break even for the company. they get the skills they claim to need. If they really did need them, they would be glad to pay. so make the fee fit the industry -- for software, something like 200k per year (yes, every year of employment in perpetuity even if they become a citizen) should cover it.

Browse any big job site/board long enough, especially in the tech sector, and you'll run across several very obvious "H1B bait" listings for "jobs" that nobody on planet earth is qualified for. Example, a regular-ass software dev or product job, where the listed prerequisites include 20+ years of experience and a Ph.D. in computer science or some other complete fucking nonsense for a job that pays 90-100k.
Then the employer leaves that listing up for whatever time period is needed and because the requirements are stupid for the money offered and they get no "qualified" applicants, they say "oh golly gee willickers I guess we need to import Pajeet from East Bumfuck and pay him $.50 on the dollar to do this job because gosh there are just no qualified Americans!"

Trump 2.0 doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Trump 1.0 when they just tried to end DACA without following APA procedures. Are APA procedures even constitutional? I don't know, but that's not the fight the Trump administration seems to want to have.

The invention of the camera pretty much wrecked classical painting. Not all at once, of course, but as photography became better, faster, and finally colored, achieving realism was kind of pointless, and the thing was to become more abstract or fantastic.
The final form is just throwing puke on a canvas, which is where we are today.

I knew this was a van Gogh when I saw it -- though maybe it's because I've seen it before, here or elsewhere. It suggests cool fresh weather and a nice breeze out of the north, with maybe a rain shower later in the afternoon. Possibly thanks to the blue color of the hills in the distance.

Or, maybe not! I just looked it up on Wiki. show says three similar paintings form a series and two of them were painted after he was released, and I don't know enough to distinguish between the early painting and the later paintings.
Does anyone with greater knowledge know? Kris here?

On your Saturday music thread there was discussion of Don McLean's American Pie, and someone (Whig?) mentioned that his song, Vincent, was a good one also. After listening to both songs and reading the lyrics and artist explanations, I ended up in a van Gogh rabbit hole. This entire adventure took the better part of Saturday evening, but it was worth it.
And here I am again. With Vincent. But you're not going to trap me again, mister!

After Meg Tilly tore a ligament in her leg, there was an emergency recasting. Foreman brought out Elizabeth Berridge and Diane Franklin for the role.
After a few days of not making up his mind and the two actresses pushing for a decision, Foreman ended up saying, "Well, one of you is too pretty."
So, Berridge got the role.

Vincent van Gogh
The National Gallery, Overview
Van Gogh painted several versions of A Wheatfield, with Cypresses during the summer of 1889, while he was a patient in the psychiatric hospital of Saint-Paul de Mausole, in the village of St-Rémy in the south of France. A first version, which he described as a study, was painted on site in late June 1889. The National Gallery’s painting, which was completed in September while Van Gogh was confined to his hospital room, is the finished version. He also made a smaller copy of it for his mother and sister.
The landscape includes typically Provençal motifs such as a golden wheat field, tall evergreen cypresses, an olive bush and a backdrop of the blue Alpilles mountains. Van Gogh wrote of painting outdoors during the summer mistral, the strong, cold wind of southern France, which here seems to animate the entire landscape. Everything is depicted with powerful rhythmic lines and swirling brushstrokes that convey Van Gogh’s sense of nature’s vitality.
--
A painting featured years ago within the Van Gogh Exhibit: The Immersive Experience.
It's touring again 2026, US & Europe.

Oh, Beethoven is wonderful - my first record was the Eroica - but I adore Bach.
On another note (ha!), I mentioned Strauss' Salome above. If you can find the Marco Polo CD, Florent Schmitt's La Tragedie de Salome is well worth listening to. It's the 1907 score to a 7-scene ballet.

It was decades before they finally authenticated it as a Van Gogh though other experts still disagreed. For me, the one thing Van Gogh did expertly was proportion. This painting is proportionally off to me. Also his background figures were never as amateurish as the one in this painting. Lastly he never used a palette knife to scratch in straight lines , etc. maybe this was a one off for him as he experimented.

The Morning Report — 9/ 21 /26
Good morning kids. First of all I want to wish all our Jewish friends a blessed Yom Kippur and may you all be inscribed in the book of Life for a year of health, happiness and prosperity and I extend these wishes to all of you. Instead of wishing damnation to our enemies I think it appropriate that the Lord open the eyes and minds to those who are working to sow the seeds of our destruction, so that their souls can be redeemed. With that taken care of let's get down to cases, shall we? For today, Grease is the word, a large reeking turd that answers to Newsom. For quite some time it was likely that he was going to seek the Democrat party nomination for the top of the ticket in 2028. For me this all but seals the deal. Nothing appeals to an evil party of tyranny, dissolution and death quite like fomenting insurrection!
California previously got away with blocking cooperation with federal law enforcement on immigration, including by threatening local law enforcement with penalties for cooperating with federal law enforcement. This secessionist stuff is now being boosted by also blocking cooperation with federal election oversight. Passing state laws to block federal investigations is creeping rather close to a Fort Sumter moment, but Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Dem supermajority decided to bypass creeping towards Fort Sumter and went right to racing towards it because this fourth bill takes the treason cake. This new law gives the Governor — as commander in chief of California’s militia — a defined role in determining when out-of-state military forces may enter California for state missions. The new law prohibits military personnel from another state, territory, or the District of Columbia from entering California to perform military duty or law-enforcement functions without the permission of the Governor. The bill preserves an exception for forces lawfully called into active federal service under Title 10 and acting under the authority of the President or Secretary of Defense. Passing laws like this seems utterly senseless unless a state is preparing to resist federal authority using military force.Two Quick questions for this greasy bastard, first how many U.S. army, navy, air force and marine corps bases are on California soil that are manned and ready to roll. And how many soldiers, sailors and airmen comprise the California armed forces? Time to nationalize/federalize all California polling places and call out the Army to guard them while preventing any and all wetbacks from casting a ballot. ICE should be sent in force to California. Then again, We have to deal with this madness in what is the anti-California. Then again Austin is essentially a bedroom community of Pacific Heights and Oakland...
Protests broke out in the Texas Capital City on Sunday after an ICE officer reportedly shot a fleeing illegal alien. According to the Austin police chief, City Councilman Mike Siefel made false allegations about the circumstances, saying the ICE officer fired five times through the car’s windshield. Facts surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.Of course the Democrats have done all they can over the years to try and flip the Lone Star State, mostly failing miserably, Austin notwithstanding. But this time around they are pinning their hopes on this James Talarico fiend to help them steal a seat in the Senate.
Down in the backwater leftist stronghold of Austin, Texas, Talarico is selling progressive politics with a halo. He has shamelessly transformed Jesus into a mouthpiece for leftist progressivism. But that same feeling that we used to get when we watched the PTL Club pervades his aura. I have to hand it to American Protestantism; despite its amazing versatility, it can still make you feel dirty, cheap, and used.And while we're on the subject of stealing elections.
The Justice Department has charged 16 people across several states with alleged illegal voting, voter registration violations and other election-related crimes, including cases involving noncitizens accused of casting ballots in federal elections.The illegal alien invader iced by ICE no doubt like tens of thousands of others of his ilk have and will vote in our elections. It's why Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden thoroughly erased our borders during his illegitimate tenure in the Oval Office which saw upwards of 11 million illegal aliens flood into our country on top of the at least 35-40 million illegals already here for decades. God bless ICE and everyone who is protecting us from this premeditated invasion.
Eight noncitizens residing in Texas were charged, while other defendants face cases in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Michigan.
“Let this be a warning to ANYONE trying to cheat and undermine our elections,” DOJ wrote on social media. “Spread the word!”
The allegations include noncitizens voting in federal elections, falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register or vote and making false statements related to naturalization. Investigators also uncovered alleged passport and identification fraud, wire fraud and firearm offenses.
With that, as the bromides used to say in Brooklyn, let me axe you this, does Newsom actually have a shot?
Gavin Newsom’s polished media appearances reveal a carefully managed strategy to ignore both his actual record and schisms among Democrats. . . No matter how destroyed or decrepit the state of California has become, Newsom is a legend in his own mind, and the phenomenally fawning media will always glow up the Democrat candidate, regardless of how incompetent that candidate’s record of governance is. No matter how destroyed or decrepit the state of California has become, Newsom is a legend in his own mind, and the phenomenally fawning media will always glow up the Democrat candidate, regardless of how incompetent that candidate’s record of governance is. . . In the words of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Gavin Newsom is a plastic Ken version of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. He can lie with impunity without breaking a sweat, fidgeting his hands, blinking, or turning away from the camera. This kind of psychopathology can play very well with the progressive voter base as he competes for the 2028 Democrat nomination.Have a good day.

The White House is the executive mansion. It's where the President lives. And the President has very wide leeway on who he lets in and who he doesn't let in. There is no constitutional right to enter the White House.
But I bet there's a court somewhere that will find one, what with all the penumbras and emanations floating around inside the Constitution.

"The writer behind the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project deliberately sent her daughter to poor Big Apple schools as a “sacrifice” to try to boost the education system — and no one is angrier than the kid.
The teen is now “boiling” mad — badly behind her peers after finally being allowed to enroll in a more rigorous high school, her mother revealed in a bombshell bizarre essay.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, 50, enrolled her only child in two struggling Brooklyn public schools beginning in 2015 — as part of a battle to change what she characterized as systemic racism"

It's a little uncharitable to single out Protestantism. Yes, the self-interpreting nature of Protestantism leads to all sorts of heterodox conclusions. And yes, the inability of Protestant world, which denies the authority of the church to bind individuals morally to fundamental teachings means any and every Protestant can walk about declaring they are a "Christian" no matter what nonsense they spew.
But the Roman Catholic "Pope" does a fine job of promoting leftist ideology as well, even though it is highly structured and claims the Apostolic authority to loose and bind.

I think perhaps Americans live "comfortably". There may be some argument as to whether or not they live "well".
Regardless, the RCC Pope basically went to war with based conservative Catholics when he ex-communicated the SSPX bishops.
The Vatican uses the potential banning of Latin Mass as a cudgel against other based Catholics in case they get too mouthy about his blessing same sex couples or other homo-friendly edicts.

Chris Murphy tells Jennifer Welch that government needs to regulate social media so that people are less likely to support a candidate like Donald Trump.
From the 'free speech' party:
"Regulating the internet so that you're spending less time alone on Instagram should be an important government project."
"And if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bullsht demagogue like Donald Trump."
That's what it all comes down to.
Murphy doesn't care a whit about disconnectedness or loneliness or anything else. He cares about power.
And if they get in, this is the kind of speech control they'll try to implement.

By design. As the NJ DMV software manufacturer said when whatsherface tried to blame them.
There's no doubt a field that must be checked "Register to Vote" that either the DMV employees automatically check on everyone, or it has been configured to "Yes" by default and they are not unchecking it.
Software in configurable, and it could be designed/configured to automatically NOT register anyone who is flagged as a non-citizen - or even not allow it (i.e. make the field inaccessible once "non-citizen" is checked).
If that were not offered, these states could demand it as part of the purchase.
Choices.

Growing up in the D.C. area this was one of my grade school's field trips. IIRC there was a short-ish play we went to see. My best friend's mom taught ballet and once in a while some of the girls would perform there with whatever production was going on. My buddy and I would work some of the stage stuff, mostly just moving this or that ----> over there.
It was sort of "grand" in the day. But later on it just didn't seen to be part of the establishment's entertainment routine. Especially after the left got control of it. They started to have all sorts of counter-culture stuff, then just weird shit.
It's needed renovations for decades. The whole capital city has. If/when the left controls it again all Trump's work to restore it will get trashed.

If I skimmed the article correctly (no using AI itself to summarize), the case indicated was that users of AI would simply accept the output of the AI but not try to understand it. Basically letting the AI do the thinking for you.
Two points, related in agreement:
1 - "Trust the Experts". This bullshit brought us the worst of the COVID responses. A bunch of the experts weren't, or had ulterior motives like being some sort of Nazi eugenicist.
2 - It seems a lot of blue schools have been trying to pound out critical thinking skills away from the "little skulls full of mush" they are in charge of.
On the other hand, it takes actual work and effort to use AI as a learning tool. DataRepublican had a long posting about how her child was failed by public school, but the kid couldn't make it into a private school (tested 2 years behind). So she and her husband did a crash course, in 6 weeks, to test, train, and retest her child using AI. AI analysis to find out what was actually missing. Analysis to determine the type of mistakes (ignorance, sloppiness, one-offs). AI follow-up tests to fix the weak points.
It worked.

It reads like you sort of agree with Universal Suffrage results in an irreversible downward trajectory into inevitable dissolution.
I'm trying to imagine a business environment under military governance. Its just a U-Haul away, but then there is also CRE with increasing vacancy. Does the military governance increase stability or remove it? The military operates on Plans and Operations Manuals. How long does it take to set up something comprehensive enough to manage California?
Does the military care about potholes and neighbor disputes?

BREAKING NEWS: CNN, MS NOW and Politico said Monday they’ve notified President Donald Trump’s administration that they’re filing a lawsuit over being denied White House access.
Posted by: Don Black at September 21, 2026 08:52 AM (ZxPkt)/i]
Of course they are, completely glossing over that the access to the White House press room is a privilege, not a right.
However, I'm quite sure should this go to the Supreme Court, they will f*ck Trump and demand that CNN and the like get permanent access because of course they will.

I think "If" is appropriate. By 2028 a lot of Trump's EOs and cases will have been decided, and cheating will be a lot more difficult.
Also, never underestimate the lefts ability to blow up opportunities. They had a strong tailwind and decided to nominate imbeciles. The fake polling is already starting to correct (as it aways does) so that they can pretend its real. Wasn't Harris supposedly ahead this time two years ago, with all her "joy"?

It will be an interesting argument. I don't see how they justify priority access to the Oval Office as a Constitutional Right when there are so many other reporters who have been denied access due to a number of practical factors.
They can't say that the President makes news so they need to be there to cover it because the don't cover it, they cover it up, and they don't report "news" originating from the President, but conjure it up in their Democratic propaganda services that comprise of mandates from Brussels, Davos, Bejing, Ivy Faculty Lounges, Tech donors and sponsors, focus groups, etc.

Then if they were to pass the SAVE act the Dems could spend the next 2 years dunking on Trump.
"We gave you election deniers everything you said you needed to stop fraud, you arrested only a handful of people and the vote totals are the same as they were 4 years ago"
And note this is what the Republicans did after the 2000 election - the Dems screamed fraud, the Republicans gave them direct access to the ballots to count them and...they found a trivial number of Shrub undercounts and we spent years mocking them.

They are demanding a regulatory moat because the open source community is eating their lunch.
With diminishing returns on LLMs, the distance between frontier models and what is good enough that it can be run locally is closing.
This is why China will win. What people allegedly need is already open source, the problem is compute costs — China wins automatically due to cheap electricity and zero interest in acknowledging all of the IP theft required to take the mantle of consumer lead.

"Just like in 2018 when Dems took over 40 seats in the House!" they remind.
Except they don't mention:
- Trump was in the middle of the Russia Collusion fraud, aided by the GOPe, where every day was wall-to-wall that he was going to be impeached and the whole R party taken down
- 50+ GOP incumbents resigned--some too late in the cycle for a competent replacement to run.
- Most of those were multi-term and very senior; the type that never lose reelection. Even in a bad year.
So that's their screenings and assumptions for their current polling: 2018

Well, given that Abdulrachman keeps whining for more debates, his internal polling shows him losing.
And the main oppo research dumps are going to start coming out pretty fast. Rogers won statewide and had it stolen from him (same with John James).
But I can totally see normies lining up to vote for people who want to abolish the police.
The only campaign lit I've gotten has been of the GOP variety, save for one hit piece on Stevens accusing her of being a tool of the Joos.

He is a classic activist bomb thrower. He did the classic play: take something not political* (a concert tour), make a very polarizing political statement, when there is the expected pushback, doubledown an demand all involved - everyone - take a side, knowing the mob will destroy anyone who does not take his side.
He did this before with SSM.
We've been watching institutions and organizations face this exact type attack by woke activists for years now.
Macklemore an activist sh#tstirrer, and given the success of this and his previous SSM op, he will do this again with whatever the next issue is.

The autopsy also showed she applied extra violent force to the son.
The son she had been complaining was "being difficult" weeks earlier online.

California captures nearly two-thirds of all U.S. venture capital and possesses more billionaires than any other state.
In 2026, when a powerful healthcare union pushed the Billionaire Tax Act onto the state ballot—which would impose a 5% levy on individuals worth over $1 billion—Newsom aggressively opposed the measure, explicitly arguing that state-level wealth taxes are "bad economics" because they would trigger an exodus of ultra-wealthy residents and tech founders to lower-tax states.
Instead, he proposed a federal billionaire tax to shift the political pressure away from California.
By actively shielding the state's elite from progressive tax hikes, he maintains their financial backing and prevents corporate flight.
California boasts the fifth-largest economy in the world, now exceeding $4 trillion. Because the state drives over 40% of all U.S. stock market growth and hosts more S&P 500 headquarters than any other state (69 companies in 2026), Newsom can execute major political maneuvers without fear of minor corporate pushback.
Posted by: L - No nic... at September 21, 2026 10:00 AM (NFX2v)
Reportedly, he has a 51% in-state approval rating. Yes, the state is experiencing net domestic out-migration, with hundreds of thousands of middle-class residents leaving the state, but his leverage comes from protecting the top 1% of earners from aggressive state-level taxation while utilizing a supermajority progressive base to pass high-profile, national-facing policies that elevate his profile for a future presidential run.
Newsom enacted that law to prevent conservative governors from deploying their own state National Guard units (under Title 32) into California—specifically ahead of fears of troop deployments at polling stations during the upcoming November midterms.
Posted by: L - No nic... at September 21, 2026 10:00 AM (NFX2v)
Reportedly, Newsom knows the policy risks alienating moderates and the state's remaining conservative pockets, but it costs him very little where his power lies.
---
The progressives are all that they rail against & more from cancel culture/deplatforming to elitism comprised of highly educated, affluent, and urban individuals demanding ideological conformity and expanding power through regulation and agencies while pretending to dismantle deeply entrenched corporate monopolies. Whew.

Cato Institute, Progressivism’s Tainted Label
Summer 2016 • Regulation
During a Democratic Party presidential debate this past February, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sparred over who was the most “progressive.” The label has a connotation of social reform. Liberals (in the American, as opposed to the classical, sense) and socialists are viewed as progressive. (Much more.)
Posted by: L - No nic... at September 21, 2026 10:00 AM (NFX2v)
Except they don't have polling places. Every voter is registered automatically (whether they want to or not) and sent a ballot to be mailed in. I wonder how many ballots are bought for $5 apiece from "voters" who don't give a shit. You can vote in California without even proving your existence.

Geez. Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor's initial path to the federal bench was heavily championed by the late New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who recommended her for her first federal judgeship in 1991.

The Clancy story is a cautionary tale that touches on our universal dilemma—that, as imperfect as we are, we attempt to discern right from wrong, moral from immoral, and to choose wisely.
"While we can all feel sympathy for her struggles with postpartum depression and insomnia, where’s the sympathy for the three young lives she snuffed out?"
No, I don't. Following the birth of the third child in May 2022, Lindsay Clancy remained on continuous leave - not even due for evaluation or extension until after the murders - and on the medical leave portion greatly decline. Further, there was no evidence establishing that she & her husband took an informal walk & agreed then she'd quit nursing. Also, in February after the killings, Lindsay then tells a psychologist she had heard a male voice telling her to kill the kids & herself.
No, imho, Lindsay Clancy, model for "the feminist left," is being used as a centerpiece for law vs. intersectionality, CRT, DEI. Educated, white, upper class, married, could plan pregnancies, upwardly mobile successful husband, and one of the best law teams in the nation.
Posted by: L - No nic... at September 21, 2026 12:06 PM (NFX2v)
If Lindsay Clancy wins her insanity defense, she won't automatically go free. Instead, she will likely be forced to stay in a medical facility. Experts say that could last for years. Aug. 28, 2026
"While Clancy would avoid going to prison if she is found not guilty as a result of a mental disease or defect – Massachusetts' version of the insanity defense – that wouldn't mean she would go scot-free. Instead, prosecutors can petition a court to commit her to a medical facility for an initial period of six months."
...
"Massachusetts law states that a person committed after a successful insanity defense can be recommitted over and over again, each time for a one-year period."
She was "depressed" even following the birth of her 1st child, the 5 year old daughter.
Enough opening the prison gates & 3 day mental holds in the US for major felonies.
Let her sign a legal agreement because she deserves no less than life in a high security medical facility. Period.
And other groups will be watching.

I had such a nice yesterday. First, JTB told me that he was going to order "The Complete Works of Francis Fenelon" which made me happy. I hope he likes it Recommending books is like introducing one friend to another and you're delighted when they "get along." Then I went to a book signing and talk by the dear daughter of our church patriarch, It is about her father's memories of growing up the town where the church is and where they both grew up. He was a dear , interesting funny man and died last year. She thanked me ( along with lots of other people.) I had never gotten thanked in an author's book before and I was so touched by that.. Finally, I went to a wonderful service at the Anglican Church in America. They have a wonderful priest wherever had communion , and I was delighted to see a nine year old being baptized. On the way back to our car, we saw a rose bush which spelled lovely. Thanks, God!

The mouse utopia study would suggest that's why they need drugs. That people need some amount of challenge, stress, goals, purpose, aims, that sort of thing.
I looked it up: Universe 25. Of course the communists hijack it for the wrong less because the POINT of communism is to sell utopia to suckers, so they claim the mice all gave up because of overpopulation.
That serves communists too because they mostly want to kill everyone else including each other.
I do see your point though. You'd think well off children could find some outlet for their time and resources. I'm sure a lot do.

"The writer behind the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project deliberately sent her daughter to poor Big Apple schools as a “sacrifice” to try to boost the education system — and no one is angrier than the kid.

So WE are the most technologically advanced race in the Galaxy? Analog computers existed on this planet more than 2000 years ago (The Antikythera mechanism) and programmable computers date back to Babbage in the 1800's. (And yes when Babbage's differential engine was actually built, it and Ada Lovelace's programs for it ran correctly.)
By the way, your AI answer is another example of AI hallucinations. It is not even a reasonable explanation of the Fermi Paradox.

Private Equity funds are the type of rapacious enterprises that swoop in on distressed companies, sell off everything of value to get a return for the investors, and then sell it to someone else to clean up their mess. This is what happened to Red Lobster. The idea that any one of these soulless companies are running health care...or any part of it...terrifies me.

I was on my own and earning money by 18. When circumstances forced me to head back to the family home, I paid rent and food, and my family considered that a really good deal.
I paid for my own health insurance, college, clothing, and other expenses, and was extremely grateful for the (rare) offers of a ride in the family car. Mostly, I walked or took the bus - at MY expense.
I married just short of my 23rd birthday, and my husband and I handled all our business.
The only time we borrowed money from family was at my 31-year-old brother-in-law's passing. We needed to rent a more reliable car to travel to the funeral, and when my husband asked, my brother came through. It took a few months to fully pay it back. We were VERY grateful. We returned the favor without charge when that same brother needed a place to stay for a month or two.
EVERY PERSON over high school age needs to start the process of paying their own way. If they have circumstances - health, children, or problems finding a job in a bad economy - they can at least find some part-time way to get cash to manage their transportation, even if that transport is a bike.

----- Careful out there, oyster lovers Fourth Florida resident dies after contracting flesh-eating bacteria linked to oysters
A fourth person in Florida has died after contracting flesh-eating bacteria commonly linked to consuming raw or undercooked oysters, health officials said. The death was included Thursday in the Florida Department of Health's updated fatality count for the deadly flesh-eating bacterium Vibrio vulnificus. The individual was from Broward County and between the ages of 75 and 79, WSFA reported. It remains unclear exactly how the person contracted the infection.
----- Another day, another something happening differently than the "scientists" thought it would Africa Is Breaking Apart Faster Than We Thought, Forming a New Ocean
Geologists have discovered that the African continent will split apart sooner than we thought. An active rift has reached a "critical threshold" and will soon break apart, forming a new ocean. That said, 'soon' is a relative term – it'll still take a few million years more, but that's a blink of an eye on a geological scale. "We found that rifting in this zone is more advanced, and the crust is thinner, than anyone had recognized," says Christian Rowan, a geoscientist at Columbia University. "Eastern Africa has progressed further in the rifting process than previously thought."These super smart people want us to make long term policy decisions based on their predictions of stuff. Yet they are constantly proven wrong.
----- Need a place to stay for the Texas MoMe? Maybe this is your answer! Towable A-frame is about as small and simple as a tiny house gets
Personally, if I was living in a tiny house, I'd want to get the largest and most luxurious model I could afford, but a lot of people neither want nor need all that extra space. This A-frame on wheels is for such people. With a length of just 4.8 m (15 ft) and consisting of one room, it's about as small and simple as they come. The Mini Brda Classic is designed by Poland's Mini Domy and is a pint-sized take on the firm's much larger Brda. Taking its name from a traditional Polish A-frame house, this thing is seriously small and is more like a hardshell tent than a proper house. To put its diminutive size into perspective, the 2023 Ford Expedition is significantly longer. It's built from wood and clad in metal, with a classic A-frame triangular form, while the interior is finished in tongue-and-groove wood and laminate flooring. Though pictured here on a double-axle trailer for easy towing, it can also come without a trailer for permanent installation.
Staying with the tiny house idea Shipping container transformed into cozy tiny house for two
The humble shipping container is little more than a basic metal box, but designers and architects never seem to run out of ideas for what to do with it. The Luna Cottage is a particularly nicely done example, transforming a standard container into a cozy tiny house for two. The Luna Cottage is based on a 20-ft (6-m)-long shipping container, but it has been heavily modified with a door and windows, plus given a uniform coat of paint. A secondary roof has also been added, which does a good job disguising the metal box's original industrial origins and should improve its thermal performance.Not bad looking inside - check the link for more photos.
Late 1800s–1940s: Organized cheering began at American colleges in the late 19th century, and it was mostly men. There was no official uniform industry. Squads wore sweaters, slacks, or whatever athletic clothes they already owned.
Women were not widely allowed onto squads until the 1920s. During World War II, men left campus and women took over the activity, ruining it just like they do everything else they touch. Dang 19th Amendment. Anyway, a recognizable girls’ look began to settle in: long skirts, sweaters over blouses or turtlenecks, sturdy shoes and pointy elbows.
1950s-60: By mid-century the uniform had a formula people still picture when they think “old-school cheerleader”: a bulky letter sweater, a long wool or cotton skirt, saddle shoes or oxfords, and socks. School letters and megaphone patches made the squad readable from the bleachers.
Skirts were still modest—often calf-length or longer. The point was identity, not range of motion. A 1959–60 school photo captures the look almost perfectly: oversized letter sweaters, below-the-knee green skirts, white shoes, and a megaphone appliqué on the hip.
1970s: Uniforms kept evolving toward mobility: shorter skirts, tighter sweaters, short sleeves, and tennis shoes. Some teams tried jumpers, hot pants, go-go boots, or capes. Hemlines rose because tumbling and partner stunts were not feasible with extra fabric.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, redesigned in the early-to-mid 1970s, put a midriff-baring top, tiny shorts, fringe, and white boots on national television.
An early Cowboys photo still has hats, longer skirts, and a more costume-like Western theme.
Within a few years the signature formula was set: cropped vest, knotted blouse, short white shorts, belt, and boots.
1980s–1990s: Skirts kept shrinking through the ’80s and ’90s as routines got more athletic. A common school rule had been “skirt to the fingertips.” That rule lost to tumbling safety: extra fabric can catch during a back handspring. Fitted stretch fabrics replaced stiff wool. Metallics and rhinestones crept in by the late ’90s, especially on college and all-star teams.
2000s–today: A current uniform is sleeker than the 1980s version but still built on the same pieces: fitted top, short skirt, team colors.
The through-line is simple. Every time the choreography got harder, the clothes got lighter, shorter, and more engineered. The letter sweater never fully vanished, it just got compressed into a shell, then into a crop top covered in rhinestones.

My school was suburban 3000 students. Everyone had their own thing going on for any one group to stand out too much. The whole John Hughes football players and cheerleaders being the cool kids was kind of a foreign concept to me. I assumed it was just a movies thing but I guess it was a thing in some schools.

>>If you had told me that 40 odd years later we wouldn't really be doing anything in space outside of sending up satellites I wouldn't have believed
The biggest challenge to doing anything at any great distance from earth is escaping earth itself.
It takes a sh*ton of energy to escape earth because, paradoxically, it takes sh*ton of energy to escape earth and that sh*ton weighs a sh*tton.

I've done a lot of research into shipping container homes. And I do a lot of work with AI. The New Atlas site that is linked here is AI slop. It is wrong, confidently, about the size of the container that it was built from - that is a 40 footer not a 20. And the description:
The Luna Cottage is based on a 20-ft (6-m)-long shipping container, but it has been heavily modified with a door and windows, plus given a uniform coat of paint. A secondary roof has also been added, which does a good job disguising the metal box's original industrial origins and should improve its thermal performance.
Is just "AI describe the photo." But new Atlas does link to the original site which is an AirBnB kind of joint - they have 4 "cabins" that are well appointed. Luna rents for about $300 a night. In Hocking Hills, Ohio. Not sure if there are any attractions there.
None of this is a shot at the post or anything. Just providing some community notes.

In my school a lot of them were actually jerkoffs. That bad thing though is some of the good ones get swept out with the trash. A lot of the girls also got labeled as unapproachable, and I found this out only recently. I was at small gathering of my graduating class last year, and there was a girl there who was super cute in school, still looked great. I was talking to her and she said something that didn't quite sound right, something about her being left alone. I remember telling her she was popular among the guys so how could that be? She says well nobody ever asked me out. I was stunned, shocked, it blew my mind. I made a joke and said shit if I would have known that I would have asked. She then says, and I would have said yes.

Turned out that one never married. Her father was a nazi though, like creepy nazi, so no surprise.

I got elected by morphing two cheers into one by accident at try out...and distraction from a cheerleader friend off stage, doing my cheer with me. The entire student body burst into laughter as I waved and said, "never mind" exit stage left.
Our Home Ec teacher thought I did this on purpose. Right. It is a teen's dream to make a complete fool of herself (my diary said my world ended that day) with football guys on the first six rows of the theater.
I was fit for a uniform but had to transfer to a stupid private school that year due to bussing. I loved the uniform! The transfer was more traumatic than messing up the cheer and my little double kick I planned.
Have hated the federal govt since as they changed school districts. Our school was already intergrated. I could still get po'd about this.

********
Older HS guys at 20yr reunions said they were afraid to ask me out. I was so nearsighted they thought I was stuck up vs blind til contact lenses (I refused to wear my glasses except in class).
In the huge university pre-med classes of over 100 mostly males no one asked me out. I thought this odd after moving thousands of miles and finally being ready to date.
My bf said he took a chance and went for it. I guess prepared for a no and I said yes. He thinks the pre-med guys were "intimidated." I was too busy to care or worry about it. I yam who I yam.
Son and DIL are visiting and I am flat out exhausted from all the dinners out. Love them and great to see them. They hope to have a baby soon after a miscarriage in May. I pray every night for this.

I suspect very few folks show up at our class reunion. It was the pipeline era, so probably half of the graduates left the state nearly immediately. Oil companies rotated folks in and out after a couple of years.
Most of the folks who went on to college did so out of state, since there isn't much up here for secondary education. An awful lot of them didn't come back because they met people, married, had other entanglements. Four years after I graduated from HS, the US economy hit rock bottom. It was worse up here. No jobs. No chances.
And, a lot of folks my age can't afford healthcare up here and move south when they retire.
I can't imagine enough folks would show up to make it worthwhile.

"DoorDash driver shot by ICE in Austin, Texas
A federal immigration agent shot and injured a man on Sunday in Austin, Texas, according to city officials. The man was taken to the hospital and was described as being in stable but serious condition, according to the city’s EMS chief."
CNN skipped over the fact that this illegal alien, from Venezuela, was being chased down by ICE because he had a final order for deportation and was doing everything possible to avoid getting arrested. Of course this ended up with him getting shot one time for playing bumper cars with the ICE agents while trying to flee. I'm kind of surprised CNN didn't go with ICE agents attempted to murder Texas man while he was at work.

It’s not an easy task but can be done.
We did it, the Europeans did it, even the Asians have done it.

Replying to a report on Romanian illegals draining food-stamp accounts, he wrote: “There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of fraud rings of almost every nationality stealing money from US taxpayers.”
He has previously said professional, often foreign-based networks are pulling $100–200 billion a year out of entitlements and other federal programs.
That warning comes as X has already sued organized rings that used bots and fake engagement to steal from its Creator Revenue Sharing program.
The same pattern keeps showing up: SNAP, Medicare, pandemic loans, platform payouts. Coordinated groups treating American payment systems like an open ATM.

This type of grandstanding, before knowing the facts, is political partisanship at its worst.

Canadians are happy to be pampered and babied by government, all the government need to do is threaten to make them pay for their own medical care. Canadians will throw temper tantrums because they cannot tolerate being forced to grow up and pay for their own docs. They want to be enslaved by their government. So no they are not waking up from this.
Though I think if the QC elections go to the PQ on 5 Oct and people in AB vote in droves for Option 2 on Question 10 on 19 Oct, that will send earthquakes throughout the country.

Gill supports mass deportations and has described "fortifying the border" as his main policy objective.
He made a series of remarks that have been described as Islamophobic (sounds good) , including calling for Muslim immigration to be heavily restricted or prohibited. (right on, right on)

The only thing Donald May ran on in TX CD 19 was evil Islam. And that was it. He would not, and could not, talk about, anything else.
I’m all for immigrants being told that if they want to be here they play by our rules and if they don’t like it, there’s the door. Including Muslims. You can’t play ball here? Ok. Bye, But Mr. May would talk about absolutely nothing else. Therefore he went nowhere in the primary.

Gun Thread: Third September Edition!
FUNdamentals
One eye? Two eyes? Four eyes? How do you do it?
TXMoMe
09/20/26 Update/Reminder Well, not really an update but rather more of a reminder. Volunteers: If you are interested in helping out, please send me a note (gunthread at protonmail dot com) on when you plan to arrive (day and approximate time). It is really critical to have this information for scheduling and to make certain we have the proper coverage to make the shooting portion safe and enjoyable for all concerned. Thank you in advance!
2026 TXMoMe Schedule Here is an outline of the schedule of events. Times are tentative and subject to modification/change. This schedule will be included in the Gun Thread with any changes incorporated going forward until the event, so please check back weekly.
8am - 10am: Rifle Clinic (carport)
10am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)
11am - 4pm: Live fire (rifle range - targets to 1,000 yds) Handgun Program
10am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
11:00am - 12:00pm: Handgun FUNdamentals
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)
1:00pm to 2:00 pm (carport - confirmation pending) - Demonstration: Basics of Rifle & Handgun Cleaning and Maintenance - EdL
1pm - 4:00pm: Static live fire (pistol range)
9am - 10am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters!
9am - 1pm: Live fire (rifle range) Handgun Program
9am - 10am: Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters! (carport)
9am - 1pm: Live fire (pistol range)
You will note there are combined rifle and handgun range safety briefings both days and attendance is mandatory if you want to shoot. We take your safety seriously and ask everyone who wants to shoot plan on attending this important briefing. Again, we are conducting one combined safety brief each day. No exceptions. At the conclusion of each day's safety briefing you will be asked to sign a general liability waiver, after which you will receive a color-coded wrist band. The color is different each day, and it is your ticket onto the range(s) for the day. No wrist band, no shooting that day. Don't want to sign the waiver? No problem, just do not expect to shoot. If you miss the mandatory range safety briefing which is mandatory and must be attended, you are welcome to watch the live fire activities from designated observation areas. All shooters are asked to check in with an RSO (sporting an Orange Cap of Dorkiness for easy identification) upon your arrival at either of the ranges who will answer questions and direct you to an open firing position. The RSOs wield unspeakable power so it is in your best interest to be nice to them. Want to do things your way? I suggest that your own personal range on your own personal property is a good place for expressing your individuality. IMPORTANT: I would hope this goes without saying, but anyone failing to immediately and politely follow RSO instructions will be removed from the range(s). Period. No exceptions. This means YOU. I will probably think of more things to yell about in the coming weeks so please stay tuned.

Karen Berger is one of if not the only premium cigar brands run by a woman. She is the widow of Don Kiki Berger, a cigar entrepreneur and blender who passed in 2014. Karen has continued and expanded the premium cigar line. Her "Tailgate" comes only in the toro size (6 X 52), it's a nice looking medium-brown stick with a Sumatra wrapper, with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Construction seemed spot on - draw was perfect, burn line needed minimal management, smoke was ample and fairly thick. Flavor throughout was consistent, pleasant, and interesting. For me it was a cedar festival, with sweetness (some reviewers term it graham cracker or vanilla notes) along side. Not complex, but enjoyable, and barely changed from light-up to the nub stage. All in all, an appropriately named cigar - perfect for an event like a tailgate party, tasty, well constructed, but not requiring much attention to get every bit of enjoyment out of it. Karen Berger tailgate is available online for $7.50 and up - not featured on a lot of the big sites, but Neptune Cigar and Cigars Daily have it.Excellent, rhomboid! Thank you!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Made it to the range this past Thursday.
Got the rifle zeroed in and made sure the windage dial was tight and will not slip like the last time.
Not going to be on much tonight, back to work tomorrow after having a week off (WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH). And still trying to shake off this runny nose.

Looking forward to the sight picture video in the content. Went to the range this week and sighting was on the agenda. I recently switched eye protection which makes the three posts at the end of the barrel more blurry but allows me to see the target. Great success! Apparently guessing at a vague blob downrange is inconsistent with accuracy.

First, PSA Dagger. It's a Glock. Mostly. It should just work. But it wasn't. Slide was all gritty and hanging up and FTF and FTE and just yucky.
Just bagged it and said will deal with it later. So here at casa blaster I was looking at it and the front sight post was missing. It has suprressor height sights along with the dot on it. Except now it had suppressor height sight.
If you know the Glock front site it has this weird little screw with a large, flat hex head. What I determined was that it had come out and was in the recoil spring. When I disassembled it at my desk it fell out on the floor but I did not hear it. I found it later in the evening. Oh, I am right! The screw did fall out and into the workings.
I like that Dagger and I shoot it reasonably well. Except when parts fall off of it.
Anyway I ordered a new pair of sights from PSA and good thing I found that screw because the sights do not ship with one.
Took it back today for function testing.
Fit for purpose.

AND perhaps related but hard to separate - sra blaster could not shoot the thing for anything. She would say I put the dot on the center and the shot would go way off to the left. A wobbly dot (insert wobbly shit admonition here) certainly wasn't helping. But standing behind her as she shot, I could see that the pistol was lined up toward the left. It wasn't a flinch - she was pointing it there.

I have an old buddy out your way (near Bowie) that also hates the hogs on his property.
He used to shoot the coyotes too, but one day he was watching a sow and her piglets and observed a coyote run up, snatch a piglet, and just keep on running.
He said he has never shot another coyote since that day.

No shooting this week but after much research I finally found a place with a better price for 380 than the range. Managed to get it down to $.42/rd including tax and shipping and only had to spend a little over a $100. Lots of places give you free shipping if you buy 1000 rds or spend $200 or so. TargetSports. Plain packge and ammo wrapped so didn't move. I have also ordered the fancy Syntech ammo from them.

About twice the price of the dot that was on it before but less than the 507k, and about half the price of the closed emitter Holosun. It is a SIGNIFICANTLY better made piece of equipment. Comes with multiple screws and some spares for the sight tray! But they actually have torque specs and I expect that it will stay together.
At the range today I put it on a rest and it put 3 rounds touching on the target. Basically one hole a little larger than a 9mm. The gun is plenty precise. Took a little adjustment to get it zeroed. And it is MUCH better to shoot with the new dot.
But sra blaster was still shooting it off to the left. She says: I think I need to get back to fundamentals.
Rolled the target to 3 yards and she mentally walked through her basics. And it turned out to be her grip. She had been holding her support hand down too far. Moved up and dead on.

The fundamentals. I have been wathing a bunch of Pew-view lately. (I am starting to jones for a 2011) And so the ALGORITHM shows shorts of his videos on sra blaster's phone because she is often geographically near me, I guess.
And he had been talking about how he shoots and he brings his support hand up high.
The CDS9 is 1911-ish so it kind of makes sense. So glad he told her how to shoot instead of me. That could have been...fractious.

The G21 is maybe my favorite .45. Very light shooting, accurate enough, striker fired so consistent trigger press.
So how did my range visit go? Well not bad. Dicken drill wasn't great but no red dot so it's good enough probably. Everything was on target but not grouped well when going fast (I am not great at tight groups shooting quick with .45s)
The weird thing? In slow fire, I had light primer strikes. Not when I went fast, no problems at all there, but the 10 rounds slow drill? I had light primer strikes. So odd...

TxAnn, if you're afraid of hot brass getting into your eyes because a casing somehow made its way into the small gap between your face and the glasses, you can try wearing a hat or baseball cap with a brim to cover that gap. If you're really serious about protecting your face, get one of the Lexan face shield setups that cops get when they're doing riot duty. This also does a good job at keeping most carbon and crud away from your face. It might get a bit uncomfortable, though.

Use an anti-fog wipe. They worked fairly well when I used to use them living in a cold environment.
Or, look into getting a pair of sport glasses - a few decent online vendors out there that will make them for you if you have your prescription available. You can get ones that are built like racquetball glasses, using a strap instead of bayonets, which might fit better under ear pro. They make prescription amber glasses to reduce glare (for hunters, especially). And, all of them are often covered by regular vision plans and all qualify for HSA and medical FSA expenses. (Yes, even eye and ear pro specifically for hunting, IF you can show it will preserve your hearing. Which is kinda "Duh" unless you're already so deaf it won't matter.)

The face shield will be further away from your face than your glasses will, so the face shield should be less likely to fog up. But the face shield will make you stand out compared to your fellow range users.

Range report:
I did not actively practice fundamentals. Instead, I took my Colt GI .380 and shot rounds as fast as I could x 5. I am not comfortable pulling the trigger faster than say, one round per second. So I got out of my comfort zone and pulled the trigger as fast as I could.
Got better as I shot more, but still am more comfortable shooting slower and more controlled.
Practice what you suck at. And shooting fast is something I suck at.

I'm learning small changes in grip make a big difference in accuracy. During this week's range visit, I had a few stray shots. Not awful, but clearly not on target. I stopped and re-adjusted my grip and tried again with much success. I could tell that my new grip was more aligned and comfortable. I can't articulate the difference and don't know why I couldn't tell that my initial grip was off, but it was nice to know that my comfortable grip was solid. Will work on that next time...

1. I am nearing the point of being too old for this shit. Not yet, but I can see it from here. It has been a very long time since I tried playing infantry vs. an opponent, even just for training. Makes me consider, again, force on force training options for the younger family members.
2. You think there is a lot of cover around until you actually need cover, then suddenly you find yourself on the moon.
3. I always hated slings, but a good one is invaluable and just about mandatory.
4. One I knew but forgot: Cover your muzzle, even if it's just a piece of 100mph tape. I didn't get the muzzle stuffed with crap, but it was a pain in the ass worrying about it.

Weasel's friend Geoff showed me how riding the 1911 safety with my thumb would change my grip a LOT in terms of accuracy. Just moving the thumb from below it to on it made a huge difference. (That did NOT transfer to the Tomcat - different grip, different safety, different size.)

1. My days as a wanna be line animal were long over even before I retired from the USAR. The last firefight I was in during my deployment to Iraq in 07-08. I was mighty glad someone got on a radio to call in CAS with A-10s and Apaches to bring down the pain on the bad guys.
2. Most things in the modern urban or suburban environment are only concealment, not cover. Even the things that are won't be after a sustained barrage of .308/7.62mm NATO rounds.
3. Even a cheap GI web sling is better than no sling at all on your rifle or long gun (shotgun, PCC, SMG, etc.).
4. Most AR platforms should be able to take the cheap plastic GI muzzle caps for the M-16/M4. Take them off before storing the rifle, though. Keeping them on in storage won't allow moisture in the barrel to evaporate, resulting in rust.

Two small projects on a GEW 88 as well as stock mending at the front end of the stock (some splitting and missing wood to splice) and fixing. Restored finish on it. I had to fit an extractor on the bolt head, put a barrel on it and headspace it, checked out ok (S variant so modern 8x57 ammo okay to shoot).

For rimmed cartridges, they headspace on the rim so a set of coin type headspace gages allow pretty easy check of headspace even with the ejector on as they have a cutoff. Made by a guy in Oklahoma years ago.
Finished fitting a upper barrel band/bayonet lug to a P14. This was a kludge as the pristine barrel of the P14 was cut off at the front sight, I guess because they could not get it off. So I had to split the upper band to make it work. Still have to drill a pin to retain the front sight.
Working on identifying a 50 caliber smoothbore musket barrel without the plug nor the powder drum/nipple. Fitted to a long stock that is either a clone of Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifle. The barrel used staples so Track of the Wolf order to fit the missing two and have to check threads on the drum and the breech plug to determine thread pitch and size. Barrel is well made but unmarked, possibly Jukar (Spanish) or some such. One inch octagon with dovetails for missing front and rear sights.

Posted by: mrp at September 20, 2026 08:44 PM (rj6Yv)
Out of the rest of the six, several require stock repairs, are missing a few parts, or need thorough barrel cleaning.
This is allowing me to get rid of approximately 8-10 stocks, about ten barrels, various bolts, barrel bands, sears, etc.
Then it will be time to list and sell them. I'll keep the sentimental milsurp ones and the ones increasing in market value but I want to downsize by at least one large gun safe from long arms.
Carbines are the first to go as my recoil tolerance is likely not good.

CCI primer cups are not 'harder' (outside of their specific military grade rifle primers which are different than the ordinary CCI small and large rifle primers) but their priming compound is different than Federal.
Federal uses an older more sensitive primer compound (IIRC basic mebbe?) which is why you have to be careful substituting primers and doing so you restart at beginning powder loads in the manual. The rest of modern primers in the US mfg use 'common' primer compound.
Winchester's primers, for example, are often hotter, Remington's were more mild if they still make them. Dunno about Fiocchi and Wolf.

Yep. Firing pin spring could be either gummed up or needing replacement. I would go ahead and replace the recoil spring as well but that is just me. I keep the old ones in a marked baggie as to what the condition is. Rarely does the firing pin get damaged but it can happen, that is apparent on the primer cup of the fired rounds.

More than one smart guy on the web (including Brandon Herrera, who made the first purchase of a suppressor without the tax form) says that unless you are a member of the correct group, in the correct state, you should probably talk to a local lawyer before trying it.
However, there are evidently FLGS around the country pushing forward with it, regardless of connection to the original legal decision. (And some FLGS are not doing it because they are waiting to see. Even in the states covered.)

I would not build an SBR unless I already had it papered by applying. If you have the itch, simply build it as an AR pistol with the pistol buffer tube and a foam cover until things settle down. The pistol buffer tube will not support a stock and you use a sling to push pull when firing--accurate enough at short range. When all the dust settles on the no papered SBRs, you can then change it out fairly simply after either getting the papered NFA stamp at zero dollars but paperwork needed, or you can, if the law settles out in your favor, change it to what you want.
Personally, I would go 300 Blackout if you have to do it as it is designed for a short barrel and you don't get the muzzle blast that you would from a short 5.56/223 barrel. Going less than 11.5 inches is fine for a 300 Blackout as it prefers a pistol length gas system. The 5.56/223 doesn't. Pistol length is overgassed a lot making it operate rough. 11.5 I think is the minimum length to get a carbine length gas system. Cont.

ATF has a thing called constructive assembly where if you have all the parts to make an SBR, constructively you have one--without a permit.
So do a pistol build for now and wait until you have a chance later to convert if that is legal in your state.
One thing to remember, an AR pistol is treated as a pistol under antipoaching laws that forbid carrying loaded rifles or shotguns in cars. A SBR is treated as a rifle and so you have to have it unloaded if stopped by the po po. Plus, unclear about taking SBRs across state lines--normally you have to file with teh ATF about such plans but right now, again, legal turmoil.
One thing is clear, never be a test case.

And remember, one must turn square corners when dealing with the government (Scotus justice in a case). Let the dust settle on the SBR litigation or apply for a free stamp now with the zero dollar and have a papered one.
Otherwise just build an AR pistol on a new lower receiver which are legal in most, if not all states.
Then make your decision later to convert or not to a papered NFA SBR or even just an ordinary rifle with 16 inch barrel or more.

I like the usgi plastic muzzle caps, but this was a long distance excursion to a ban state. I likely would have gotten jammed up with an AR. As it was, walking away was a good result.
It is really infuriating to find yourself in a fight with neutered weapons knowing the other guy - a criminal - isn't handicapped like that.

Food Thread: Pigs Feet For The Win!
The small restaurant group that runs Fallow and a few other restaurants in London is run by a pair of English chefs (along with a money guy) who are talented in the kitchen and surprisingly good at making cooking videos. Their successful restaurants allow them the flexibility to do all sorts of fun videos, and this one, dedicated to the best chicken fricassee one can make, is a hoot!
Aside from the uncomfortable reality that I can eat a couple of massive bowls of beans and rice at one sitting, it is a glorious food! My preference is black beans, but red beans will work quite well thank you very much! Red Beans And Rice With Pickled Pork sounds very interesting, especially since I have no idea what pickled pork is!
I want to like eggplant. Really! But aside from baba ghanoush, I find it sort of...meh. Oh, I'll eat it in Eggplant Parmigiana or Chicken Sorrentino or crispy fried with some tasty sauce. But it's just not that exciting! So, while I really want to think that Crispy, Oven-Fried Eggplant is going to change the way I see eggplant, I doubt very much that it is anything other than a small evolution of a boring food.
The great garlic experiment of 2025-2026 was a resounding...meh. Send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. About the Bourbon Bubble...I think it has burst, but the category is also suffering from the inflation that affected everything else (Thanks Biden!). I think the sweet spot is still $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Dad loved pig's feet. Right out of the jar.
Pickled eggs. Sardines out of the can.
I used to eat the sardines with him when I was a kid, but the rest of the stuff made me gag even back then.
The old guys here in the South loved that stuff in the jar on the counter at the local general store.

Herbs and spices are a must with any food that is 'too boring' after one or two meals. It completely changes things.
I've never had pâté to my knowledge. If I did it wasn't called that. It seems to be a 'either make it yourself, or pay through the nose' kind of food?

At some grocery stores here they sell a brand of frozen strombolis from a company called 'Screamin' Sicilian'.
I was addicted to their pepperoni style for years.
They are really tasty for frozen but only you can cook them in the oven for like 40 minutes.
Too much bread for lunch, though, so I stopped eating them.

I make 3-4 oz meat balls, press 'em out really thin, sprinkle some sea salt and fresh ground pepper on one side, and toss them on the Blackstone under the burger press. 1.5 -2 minutes, flip them over and let them go another minute. Pull them off an let them rest while the naan toasts. Start to finish is maybe 5 minutes. Serve with Birra Peroni out on the patio under the fans.

Hamburger is much easier to use and spicing is more...what?...forgiving I guess.

I give up from time to time and just make decent bread to reassure myself it is possible.
My recent spark of interest was starter made from rye or from spelt, and this makes serious changes to dough that I am still working out.
Posted by: Kindltot at September 20, 2026 05:11 PM (rbvCR)
3 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ teaspoon salt
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of cardamom
This makes enough to do maybe a dozen loin lamb chops, so I store it in a zip lock bag (I've accumulated a goodly supply from recent cigar purchases).
Anyway.
Salt chops on both sides and let rest on a rack for several hours in the fridge, turning once. Get your wood fire going (charcoal is also ok) and dust chops with the rub. Place next to, not over, the fire.
For 1.5-2" thick chops:
Count to between 40 to 60 seconds then turn 90 degrees. Count a minute, then flip to side 2. Count another minute, and check your fire. Add more wood as needed. (If using charcoal, add wood chips and get some flames going).
Place the chops (still on side 2) directly over/into the fire. Flip to side 1 after 30-40 seconds. If color looks good, go about 20-30 seconds for side 1, then plate. If the sear is...meh, go 40-60 seconds for side 1, then give side 2 another 20-30. You'll get medium rare to medium chops..

I've mentioned many times how much I love Spanish Garnacha (French version is Grenache). The bad thing about these lesser-known varieties is that they're rarely available in a small town.
Earlier this week, I wanted something different to have with a friend who was visiting. I chose a Bordeaux Clairet Dry Rose (Chevalier du Grand) and it was such a lovely surprise! It's called rose, but is a gorgeous clear red, and dry and light. Will get that again. On sale at Kroger for $17.

I do, as well. And, I have a theory as to why. Ask your wife if her parents gave her a spoonful of cod liver oil every morning for "health reasons." It was a trend back in the late 60's and early 70's. Sort of a "magic elixir" thing. Cod Liver Oil is nasty. Think of the flavor of fish that has been sitting out in the sun all day. Maybe more like chewing on an authentic sponge. Seafood doesn't appeal to me in smell or taste...at all. Plus it swims around in its own bathroom.

I have eased away from rye flour. It makes delicious sourdough when I use about 15% rye, but I don't like the way it rises...or rather doesn't.

I was just reading a discussion of the Pompeiian fresco that showed a focaccio type bread topped with fruits and cheese. They had a circular depression in them to hold the fruit and the honey and some sort of runny farm cheese topping

It is mostly a starter thing, echoing the German and French breads. I have a couple of Russian rye recipes also but I am not that fond of them and I don't like coriander that much.
The French and German doughs are a wetter dough than the English and American tradition, and that is throwing me quite a bit.
I am supposed to wedge the bread dough, not just slap it around!

Highly recommended from a man who knew sardines.
He liked the regular olive oil, jalapeno peppers and Mediterranean (has olives and bell peppers and herbs) versions.

The sardines from Portugal are probably the best in the world.
They definitely taste better, but at end of the day...they're sardines.
So unless you eat them by themselves then King Oscar whatever is going to taste about the same.
Cuz those good Portuguese sardines are expensive.

Yogurt Mint
In a med container add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp dill, ¾ tsp salt, ¼ cup chopped mint and the juice of 1 lemon. Mix it up, amazing on curry grilled chicken.
Creamy Tahini
1/2 cup tahini
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1-2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt (or to Taste)
Blend on high until smooth. Dip veggies in this, drizzle it over a salad with chickpeas, cucumbers and tomatoes with or without grilled chicken. This is really nutrient dense and yummy.

Posted by: Martini Farmer
I'm from New Orleans & have eaten red beans all my life. Today, most people make their red beans with andouille, but when I was growing up it was almost alway pickle pork, which is the best. It is pork shoulder that has been pickled sort of like bacon without the nitrates. Don't see it in the groceries much any more, but it is pretty easy to make at home.
Bonus Red Bean Recipe...
If you like Popeyes Red Beans, ugh!, for every pound of beans you cook, puree a pack of the cheapest, red hotdogs you can find & add to your batch of beans.

And then he’d try, and fail, to kiss her afterwards.

I rounded up all the red, yellow and orange vegetables, poured bacon fat over them (I save it), and roasted them at 450 degrees. Add to simmering chicken broth (from the remains of a Costco rotisserie chicken), add water for consistency, 1/2 cup of sour cream and salt to taste.
They'll like it, but I can't say I'll ever have this particular combo of ingredients again.

The judge admonished Long for carrying the gun and told him he has to think before he acts.

You know when you have a really nice bottle of whiskey, and sop you pour a glass for yourself after-dinner and suddenly realize that the bottle is less than 1/4 full, and soon will be empty, and-
you're unable to buy said whiskey where you live, nor send for it mail-order cuz of Texas alcoholic beverage laws?
In this case, the whiskey is -

She has an invoice with nothing but his name on it that she paid via a bank transfer. She needs to find him again for some business purpose or other.
I googled him and the only hit is on a doxxing website. Neo-Nazi Proud Boy white supremacist lol. He seems to have completely scrubbed himself from the web other than that. He might -- *might** -- actually be antisemitic, but I can't tell because the doxxing site is Antifa and they're about as reliable as your average nutty antisemite. Supposedly he did good electrical work.

Back when, your garbage would be picked up for the pig farm, sort accordingly and put in garbage pail in ground. Your trash was burnable, and burned, accordingly. Your rubbish, things that didn't burn, broken stuff, and the like, was usually placed in a barrel in the garage or shed and brought to the town dump periodically. If they had deposits on them, like tonic, the bottles went into a bottle bin, rinsed. Cashed in at the store.

I wanted to let you know that I reached my campaign funding goal today. I have at least 155 in-district donations, as well as well over the $6700 that I need to qualify for state funding. I will probably receive a few challenges to the submission, so I'm calling around locally to improve my buffer in both metrics.
I absolutely could not have done this without Ace, CBD, and the rest of you farking gray box bastages out there. I'll work on my funding package tonight with my treasurer and get up to Hartford tomorrow to meet with the State Election Commission to deliver my data. If all goes well, I should have my money by 5 Oct 2026, the day before my debate with Anne Hughes.

I'm a Colorado high desert girl. I gave up lip balm once I realized what was going on. The best thing about giving it up is that I have had zero cases of cracked lips since giving it up. My lips have never been smoother or more comfortable. (No lipstick either.)
If it's windy, cold, or dry, the barest touch of Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream (unscented -- the scented stuff tastes nasty) will keep my lips comfortable. I might need it after brushing my teeth in the morning and again later if I've been out in the wind. The Norwegian cream contains no irritants like menthol or camphor.

Now, what you need are small, single use applicators for the balm. Somewhat syringe shaped or bullet shaped that deploys just enough balm for one application. These you can buy in a pack, or clip, of 10. Just throw them in a drawer.
Bit of a Second Amendment vibe going for the gun owners. Parched lips are the last thing you need when hunting or popping of looters.

Broken crayon pieces can be upcycled into twist-up drawing crayons by melting crayon scraps in a clean tin can (placed in boiling water) then carefully poured into an empty fully rolled-down lip balm tube.

It comes in a toothpaste type tube with an applicator tip with a hole in. Squeeze and the stuff comes out the top and you just rub it where you want it.

The Far Left group looks to be coming out on top in Berling (which is little surprise). But, here's the fun part. Those in power and the EU have been stating that AfD matches up with the WW2 Nazis, claiming both were far right (regardless of that not being true, it is a common narrative of AfD's opposition, the EU and the media). BUT, the "Central Council of Jews" in Germany is up at arms because they consider the far left more attuned to the WW2 Nazis and are deeply anti-Semitic.
(((Central Council President Josef Schuster on Sunday.
"The fact that a party whose campaign rallies openly called for people's deaths is set to emerge victorious from the election deeply troubles me." ))))
_________________________
The Central Council of Jews are directly challenging the far Left and categorizing their anti-Semitic behavior/comments....which directly contradicts the strategy of opposition to the AfD. So, to placate the Jews in Germany, they will have to address their misrepresentation.

Yemen Is Saudi Arabia's Back Yard, And It Is Their Responsibility, Not America's, To Police It
The Houthis, or Anṣār Allāh (“Defenders of God” ), have been around in one form or another for many years. The name derives from their founder: Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, who was killed by the Yemeni government in 2004. The origins of the terrorist movement follow the tired pattern of so many Muslim terrorist groups...some religious or tribal schism that drives maniacal killing for reasons that most modern people would think are nuts!
But that doesn't matter much when their chaotic violence expands past the borders of their failed state. The Houthis have expanded their drive to subjugate Yemen into Saudi Arabia, and at the behest of their Iranian masters have attacked shipping near the western Yemen coastline, which is conveniently (for them) near the narrow Bab Al Mandeb strait, choking Red Sea and Suez Canal shipping. They now control almost 100 miles of that coastline, so they have plenty of opportunity to disrupt a major sea route for world commerce. Saudi Arabia has tried, and failed, to control the Houthi expansion in Yemen. Apparently the Saudi armed forces have modern weaponry that doesn't translate into quality forces. They have gotten their asses kicked by what -- at least on the surface -- looks like a bunch of 7th century tribes that hide out in the mountains and conduct guerilla warfare against the KSA. Except they are being supported by Iran, which means they have sophisticated (for Muslims) weaponry that they use to good effect against anyone within reach. And what they have discovered is in reach are the oil pipelines that KSA uses to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran is trying to control petroleum exporting to the rest of the world. Saudi Arabia has dithered and obfuscated and fought (poorly) and tried to negotiate with the Houthis, and nothing they have tried has worked. They are unwilling and probably unable to mount a concerted military effort against them to end, once and for all, the Houthi threats against petroleum commerce and the security of Saudi Arabia. But...that ain't America's problem. We have sold KSA billions of dollars worth of modern arms, have trained their armed forces, have conducted training exercises with them, and have supported them in all respects. It is time for them to step up and do the work that is necessary. Otherwise, why have we spent so much time and effort? Saudi Arabia facing 'biggest threat' ever to oil production as Iran-proxy Houthis launch attacks, expert saysHussain Abdul-Hussain, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Thursday that the situation is escalating in the Middle East as Iran "likely instigated the Houthis to force a blockade on Saudi Arabia." "I think this situation is really precarious for the Saudis. This is the biggest threat to their production of oil since their kingdom was founded in 1932. And this is almost existential," he said. "We see that the Saudis are trying to shop for some force to fight their war for them. And I think along the lines, they also called President Trump. It doesn't look to me that Washington is going to get involved in this one," he added. "We'll probably offer them advice and tell support, but I don't think we, the United States, will get involved with this war over Bab el-Mandeb."
That evaluation is a bit histrionic, but the conclusion is perfect. We have better things to do with our military than bail out the Saudis and, once again, do the heavy lifting that the rest of the world is unwilling to do. Saudi Arabia says Houthis targeted its capital with a missile
Saudi Arabia on Saturday said that Yemen’s Houthi rebels tried to attack Riyadh with a ballistic missile, the first time the Saudi capital has been targeted since the escalation in fighting with the Iran-backed rebels opened a new front in the Iran war. The statement said the attack was intercepted. Some residents in Riyadh heard an explosion, and later some saw a plume of smoke near the airport. There were no reports of casualties or damage. The statement also said the Houthis tried to attack civilian infrastructure in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu — where a key Saudi pipeline ends — and in Taif, Baysh and Farasan but they were thwarted, giving no further details. The Houthis earlier claimed, without providing evidence, that they had targeted “sensitive sites” in Riyadh and facilities of Saudi oil giant Aramco in Yanbu, causing “massive fires.” Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, did not respond to a request for comment.
Maybe attacks on the capital will be enough to get the rulers of Saudi Arabia off their ample rear ends and actually do something other than pay for others to do their work!

Saudi Arabia certainly has enough money for that.
There are tens of millions of poor Muslims in the world that I suspect would be willing to take that risk for enough money to take their families out of abject poverty.
The Saudis could also include a fixed life insurance payment to the family if the male was killed in combat.
The traditional risk of using mercs is that they turn on their hosts. However, if they are deployed in Yemen, that risk seems very low to me.
The Saudis (and the rest of the Arab states that want regional peace) need to start thinking outside of the box.

Someone pointed out the House of Said doesn't want a competent military because the Sauds could be a target for overthrowing.
While I agree that the Sauds and the Houthis amount to "why can't they both lose" , I don't think we can afford to have the Bab al-Mandab blocked by 8th century primitives. Maybe we can convince the Egyptians to get in, though in the 60s they didn't fare too well there

We wanted the EU to get involved... because most of the commercial shipping traffic that used the Red Sea to the Med (via Suez) and then on to Europe. It was a half hearted attempt on the EU... as expected.
Point being... we were involved with the Houthi's before and didn't get the help we asked for from Europe... so I'd say it's nominally not our problem.

I'm betting lots of those weapons were shipped in BEFORE Iran was getting blasted. Also, there are lots of places around the world that the Iranians have poured weapons and personnel into, and those areas can ship weapons to Houthi and the Blowfish.

It’s an apparent contradiction but perhaps not a real one. Iran will prioritize weapons over everything else; their economy could be collapsing and yet they could still supply weapons for a Hail Mary… for a time. Remember in WWII, Hitler was on the ropes but still launched the battle of the bulge.
I have no idea if this is a last gasp of the mullahs. Probably not… but I’m pretty sure the last thing to go would be their military armaments.
These Houthi attacks are a smart strategic play for them. More effective than trying to stop our blockade… which they can’t do

For many months the Russians have been waiting in very long lines to put gas in their car tanks. i chatted with some Russians online back in May/June, and they were telling me how badly it sucked and how they were trying to get in line during off-hours in hopes the lines would be shorter and the gas would still be available when it was their turn.

Wrong! Ask Jim Mattis.
The retired four-star Marine Corps general and former CENTCOM commander was secretly hired in 2015 to advise the UAE (and by extension consult on the Saudi-led coalition's military strategy) regarding the war against the Houthis in Yemen
He later went on to serve in Donald Trump's actual cabinet as his first Secretary of Defense (from 2017 to 201
, during which time his prior private advising work for the UAE on the Yemen conflict came under intense scrutiny.

That would not necessarily stop the Russians from loading crude into tankers, and selling it to refineries in Euroland, once the Euros get thirsty enough to abandon their embargo of Russian oil.

You know whaat I would like?
I'd like the muslim world itself to get tired of islam.
What an anchor around the neck of everyone within islam's borders, and now outside those borders too. Thanks Progtards/communists/Democrats/GOPe-cucks/ WEF/EUtards!!!! Did I forget anyone?
Anyway, it probably won't happen, but Iran, when it falls could be the start of that.
Even the muslimiest Muslim in Iraan has got to be sick of islamic rule. should they burn down all the mosques and madrassas, and hang all the imams, etc,
and take up almost any other religion or atheism, they'll find their lives improve exponentially in a very short time.
But, it's just a dream. A beautiful, beautiful dream.

They flew the same syllabus as U.S. Navy flight students and, allegedly, were held to the same standards of performance...except they weren't. And they knew that. Which is why, perhaps, there were arrogant assholes.

An interesting aspect to this is original territory and religion.
Preceding 1932 the area that is now Saudi Arabia (Armand Hammer) was known as Northern Yemen. The Yemenis belong to a different sect of Islamism called Zaydi. They are not Sunnis or Shias.
" Zaydism took root in Yemen in the ninth century. In 897 CE, the Zaydi religious leader Yahya al-Hadi established himself in northern Yemen and founded an imamate—a system in which a Zaydi sayyid, or descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, could claim leadership" ...
..."The important modern turning point was 1962, when Yemeni military officers overthrew the Zaydi monarchy and founded the Yemen Arab Republic. Saudi Arabia supported the royalists during the ensuing civil war, while Egypt supported the republican side..."
How would the Houthis behave without Iranian money and materiel?

Frankly I think we should block Iran's oil to China until such time as we're satisfied Iran's nuclear program is no more, and keep our oil here. Let economic pressure force the Europeans to make peace with Russia. And we should cut the Saudis loose as they are as useless to us as the Europeans are.
But for some reason the administration wants to keep Europe going without any hard choices, and if that's the case, I think it's going to have to deal with the Houthis'

Imagine different
1.58Trillion cubic feet of metly hydrate 1000-2000meters deep in the Taiwant Strait without which either country has access to without American technology
This deposit represents only 1% of world total. Imagine hydrocabrons harvested, transformed in place, deep underwater into plastics and production plants that run the data centers (and cities) of the future
Data Center Size: A steady flow supplying even a modest fraction of this gas could continuously power a large-scale hyperscale data center campus (100 MW to 500+ MW)
Duration: At a 200 MW continuous draw, the recoverable reserves could theoretically fuel the facility for decades (30 to 50+ years), acting as a quasi-baseload sovereign power source
Rather than fighting over maritime boundaries or blockading Taiwan, Trump would propose treating the South China Sea and Taiwan’s shelf as a Joint Development Zone.Xi would be offered joint resource security and technological cooperation in deep-sea extraction

Not surprising. Many of the RSAF students I provided instruction to were boxes of rocks who, after multiple flight failures, were still allowed to continue on with their training.
But, supposedly, they were held to the same standards as USN student aviators.
That, of course, was complete bullshit. Many of them, I suspect, were from "connected families" in SA.

My Gen A child is struggling to understand why there is so much vitriol against ICE out there because to her it’s common sense. Probably because she was/ is homeschooled.

That just reminded me. While I was in SA, it was policy that if we had any serious injury or illness we'd be evacuated to Switzerland or Germany for medical care.

We should stop selling arms to those who are passing them to Ukraine. If Ukraine receives ZERO American materiel the war
will be over.

But to build an actual organized functional army? They can’t do it. Best they can do is a parade ground army that can look good once or twice a month.

If the Saudis fought as well as the Israelis, they wouldn’t be in this mess. In fact, none of the musclemen do.
We should pull a Roman and stand behind the Saudi throne with 200k marines. That peninsula will belong to whomever kills the Saudi’s. Might as well be us.
We needed Venezuela and Guyana online before starting trouble in the ME.

NO US funds go to supporting any part of Israeli civil society. Do they disparage Africans, because all of our aid goes to supporting food and medical aid.

Honestly, I don’t know how to respond. So I have just listened.
It’s complicated. And I am not well spoken enough or as educated on the history as I should be, in order to clearly explain WHY it is in the best interest of the US. How does the security of Israel fit into the America First agenda? That’s what Gen Z needs to hear. Frankly, I could benefit from President Trump laying it out. Use small words so I can understand.

In addition to what I wrote above about Inshallah, the other factor I observed that supports this thesis is the tribalism. The loyalty was to the tribe, not the higher good/order, i.e., The Kingdom. And this affected all ranks, making the whole organization inefficient and dysfunctional. IMO.

"El Sayed-aligned Islamic council with alleged terrorism financing ties issued fatwa to financially support Muslim candidates"
Excerpt:
"U.S. involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly calls for military aid from pro-Israel lawmakers and fundraising committees, was the underlying basis for the fatwa. Framed as an emergency countereffort, FCNA’s fatwa says it is “imperative” that Muslim constituents support candidates and lobbying organizations working to shape U.S. foreign policy in favor of Palestinians. The fatwa stipulates that zakat donations can also go toward “countering a clearly anti-Muslim politician with an agenda of harm.”"

Maybe Arab but certainly not Muslim. In the past, Muslims have built quite the large, successful armies, or we wouldn't be talking about the Crusades, or Spain's reconquista, or have Islamic places spread so far around Asia and Africa.

If the Saudi’s start to go, are we going to bail them out? Nope.

I'm grateful that Little has been to bar mitzvahs for a couple of his friends. He's been told of the kindness his grandmother received from the Brooklyn yentas when she lost her mother at the age of 14.
What he does not grasp is the hatred the world has for God's Chosen. We've been to the Holocaust museum in DC, and I just think the lesson fades over time if it isn't reinforced. The challenge is measuring the reinforcement to avoid it becoming a dreaded topic of discussion for them. I've yet to find that golden measure..

I also think there is a little confusion between America First and America Only. They are 2 very different things. Having Israel as our ally in the area is definitely in the interests of our security, our technological advancements, etc. Plus, Iran not having a nuclear weapon is certainly in our interest Also, when you are the most powerful country in the world, which we are, there comes with it responsibility and one of those is to ensure we never, ever have a holocaust again. Anti-Semitic words and behaviors should be shunned. There really is no middle ground there.

Eh, we can't really point fingers. USN had the same issue with Kara Hultgreen. Due to gender politics and inter-service rivalries at the time, she was allowed to continue on in her training after receiving multiple flight failures along the way in primary, intermediate and advanced jet.
And I don't GAF what the "official" US Navy investigation concluded. Instructor pilots who flew with her said she should've been washed out of flight training the way any male student would have been.
Those instructor pilots were told to STFU by higher ups. So they did, of course.

In fairness, the West installed the Husseins, Hashemite chieftains that controlled Mecca. The Sauds overthrew them because the Sauds were the Al-Qaeda fanatics of the time.
