After polls told us George Conway and that Schlossberg (aka JFK III) were leading or at least competing with each other to replace Nadler, neither got more than 11% of the Democratic primary vote. Currently two people I never heard of (who are doubtless socialist scum) are above 30% of the vote each. Apparently you can't even buy a Democratic primary with crooked polling anymore. What is the world coming to?

Tuesday night ONT. It has arrived. So have you. Open thread, as always. Got anything interesting to say tonight?
I'm currently flying to Hawaii to start my new job in a few days. Should be...interesting. LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida. Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama. He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation. Reminds me of this recent Iowa case: June 2026: A federal jury awarded $105,000 to Tayvin Galanakis, an Iowa man who was wrongfully detained and arrested for DUI despite having a 0.00 blood alcohol content.

I don't understand this pessimism. Almost no states even allowed concealed carry in the 1980s. Now more than half the states allow it without a permit. How is this right being gradually lost? I'm all for vigilant defense of liberties, but doomerism seems like the opposite of that, since it demoralizes people. Posted by: the lower depths at June 23, 2026 10:12 PM (yZOfl) 52

Thanks for the ONT Doof. Everyone have a great night. Hmmm. I have "The Avengers" with Steed and Peele on here in the background in the computer room.

A NC based textile manufacturing company supplies socks for all NFL teams and a bunch of soccer teams of all levels, kids to pros, and our referee crews. I have about 30 or more pairs of various ref socks, made the same as NFL and soccer pro leagues, and they’re fantastic. USA manufacturing!!! Posted by: NC Ref at June 23, 2026 10:28 PM (W7qlR) 117

>>I've never been to Hawaii, but all the videos talk about how good poi is, and how it's a cultural symbol, blah blah blah.
Years ago I was in Kauai and one day I took a tour of the Na Pali coast with a guy who called himself Captain Zodiac. Rubber Zodiac boat. He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money. His real job was being paid by the state as a poi farmer which grew naturally on his property. He literally did nothing other than let the state send people in to harvest it and cash checks. Hawaiians love their poi.

Greetings Everyone!
Thank you Mr. Doof for content. Busy booking campgrounds for August RV trip. We're tentatively planning on Mesa Verde NP, Dodge City, Ks, and continue east possibly as far as Hannibal, Mo for a steamboat dinner cruise on the mighty Mississip' and maybe the Ozarks before heading west toward home along the Mother Road (Rte 66). Also getting for a week in Yosemite in July with about 20 in-laws, out-laws and conmon-laws, sons and daughters and associated hangers-on. Hope this finds my gray-box friends well.

I liked new Dr Who until the "Midnight" episode (David Tennant). The episode itself is brilliant, one of the best Dr Who shows ever, and (tellingly) one that Russell Davies didn't want to air (despite the fact that he wrote it).
There's a line where one of the passengers asks the Dr why they should trust him, and he says "Because I'm clever." The other passengers object that they're not dullards, but the point was made...the New Who writers weren't interested in telling interesting stories, they wanted to show how clever they were in comparison to us idiotic viewers. And that's where my interest died. Tried a few episodes after, but all I could see was the smugness. "Look how clever I am. Look how creative I am. Enjoy my genius, proles."

165 Please also visit Canyon de Chelley. Posted by: nurse ratched One of my most memorable vacation trips ever, when I was a teen, was when my father hired an Indian guide with some Navajo ponies back into the Canyon. There’s a whole network of dwellings back there that you can’t to except on horseback, and you have to hire a Navajo guide because parts of it are outside the Nat park and on their land. Some of the dwellings are in surprisingly good states of preservation, because they’re so far back no one gets to them. The attitude of the Navajo guide at the ruins was interesting, and he obviously thought we were kind of nuts for wanting to go in. “Not our houses, not our people. Places of the dead.” was all he would say, and he was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of getting too close to them. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 23, 2026 11:07 PM (AL+7F) 222

He's a former child magician -- very on point for a Dem politician, still professionally fooling people -- and insider wonk. That's an understatement. He's been an aide of various types -- chief of staff, director of policy, etc. -- to Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Kathy Hochul. What won it for him (aside from Bloomberg's almost $10M) is that his main opponent, Alex Bores, is a former data scientist whose big achievement was sponsoring NY state's AI regulation, to take effect on Jan. 1. So, Bores's main selling point also drew organized opposition. Posted by: SciVo at June 23, 2026 11:17 PM (Sy6m/) 236

213 Eh, not really. I mean someone like our resident Seattle nurse should be concerned, but she already knows what that place is like.
The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else). People don't seem to understand this because they think about Paris in 1789 or Petrograd in 1917 when they think of revolution. But those revolutions didn't just benefit from two of the most inept governments before Keir Starmer's premiership, they had peasant support for a while (think 'the Great Terror in France and "Land, Peace and Bread" with the Bolsheviks). Even the Nazis started off with rural East Prussia as their electoral stronghold. Wholly urban revolutions don't work and invariable get crushed. If support for the Spanish Republic had been confined to Madrid and Barcelona as popular memory would have people believe, the Nationalists wouldn't even have had to appoint Franco as their leader.

I saw the most amazing piece of horsemanship I’ll ever see on that trip, right in front of me. One of the riders with us was a girl of about 20 or 21, who was clearly experienced with horses, and was also very cute, in an athletic way. I was about 14 and was completely enamored with her, of course. I was following her, and her pony was skittish that day (for no good reason) as we came back down into a dry river bed, that pony decided his saddle bothered him so with no warning he threw himself on his back, to try and get the saddle off or something.
Obviously she could have been badly hurt or even killed by this, and probably should have been. But I remember like it was yesterday, (and I had the best view of anyone) that as that horse went down she smoothly and instantly brought her right foot up to the saddle and launched herself off his back, going into a sweet tuck and roll and landing unscathed a few feet away. Sandy river bottom, so no harm done. We were pissed at the horse (I think he was moved to pack duty) but mostly we just stood with our mouths open at how effortless she made saving her life look.

I actually prefer that Democrats start nominating actual loony commies, especially in blue areas where they will win anyway.
Since the 1930s, Democrats have consistently had a voter registration advantage over Republicans. Even when Nixon and Reagan were winning 49 state victories, there were way more Democrats than Republicans. That advantage has shrunk considerably in the age of Trump, and given how many red states don't have party registration, it might no longer exist. One of the reasons why Democrats had a structural advantage for so long was that their party was a hodgepodge. You could have George McGovern and George Wallace in the same primary in the same year (1972). Even "moderate" Joe Biden got by playing this game of being something to everyone (especially low info types). Crazy people who wear their policy proposals on their sleeve (and invariable excuse street violence) end the game of pretending to be moderate and then acting radical. You don't get Spanburgers if DSA types win all the primaries. Posted by: the lower depths at June 23, 2026 11:27 PM (yZOfl) 255
Saw this online, and thought some laughter would help.
I work as a sales consultant in the children's wooden toys and construction sets department. A dad with a baby in a stroller comes over, taking a long time to choose what he wants while I comment on the products. No matter what the father shows, the baby looks at me attentively, without blinking. After a long explanation and presentation of the toys to the boy, the dad sighs and says, "Sorry, Max, but I can't buy you the lady." He sighs sadly and leaves.

Except they were communists pretending to be "moderate" so teaching people what a "socialist" is and calling a spade a spade was completely appropriate. Obama campaigned on "redistribution of wealth" and the party came a c-hair and one dead commie away from nationalizing the health system and implementing a giant new tax for "fairness". Not to mention "at some point you've made enough money" etc etc. You haven't been asleep for the last 15 years have you? Posted by: ... at June 23, 2026 11:28 PM (vE0+H) 257

My approach is that you have to pay federal income tax to vote in federal elections, and state income or property taxes (if they exist) to vote in state and local elections. If you don't have enough reportable income, or your accountants bring your tax to 0, no vote.

38 29 Yes, that's in a different district, but Lander wiped the floor with him.
Lander is even worse policy-wise, but Goldman made such a habit of lying on camera that I am enjoying his fall. Posted by: the lower depths at June 23, 2026 10:09 PM (yZOfl) Okay, looked that one up too. Former City Comptroller Brad Lander had Zohran Mamdani's endorsement, and his big campaign issue was supporting Hamas over Israel, using the fallacious "Gaza genocide" rhetoric that is so effective with brain-rotted Democrat primary voters. They literally primaried out a sitting Congressman for daring to be a non-anti-Israel Jew. That's where that party is now. Unfortunately, I expect most American Jews to remain asleep to what time it is. For now, the socialists are chanting the code phrase, "Globalize the Intifada". However, it's only a matter of time until they turn subtext into text, and start chanting something like, "From Maine to Hawai'i, America will be Judenfrei." That's what they mean. But Dan Goldman is such a nasty piece of work, I still get some schadenfreude anyway. Posted by: SciVo at June 23, 2026 11:34 PM (Sy6m/) 264

257 Try looking closely at precinct results for elections. Or look at the more detailed crosstabs of exit poll.
First, white women are Republicans and have been so since at least 2012. The wine aunt karen is a thing, but she seems much more notable than she really is because she is so darn loud. Second, old suburbs around cities have become more leftist, but if you get a few miles further out you get ruby red territory. In my state "old growth" suburbs from the 1950s went Democratic even as minority turnout and voting favored Democrats less (and newer suburbs and exurbs became ever more Republican under Trump). Third, when you take away the college educated (who are not and are not likely to ever be an absolute majority of voters), all sub-groups other than black women are getting more rather than less Republican. Four, people don't understand policy. They'll claim to support things they end up voting against. A recent YouGov survey was absurdly lopsided towards Democrats, and all the cross-tabs claimed that nobody supported Trump's policies. Yet even in this crap survey, the midterm result was D+3, which might keep the House red. Posted by: the lower depths at June 23, 2026 11:38 PM (yZOfl) 267

A Fox News poll conducted Feb. 28–March 2, 2026, finds a record 38% of registered voters say it would be a good thing for the United States to move away from capitalism and toward socialism, up from 32% in 2022 and 18% in 2010.
---------- Even if this is true I am not shocked or unnerved. The elliptical is 33% of anything. What is the increase? 5%. Why is there an increase? It's not that these lame brains are special it's that the kids have been spoon fed this crap since kindergarten. The amazing thing is that the increase is only 5%. Which indicates that there are many young people out there who are capable of critical thought. We must dig at the problem root an branch; teachers and the colleges that have spawned them.

Blacks are already out of favor with the Left and still don't know it. So there is much hijinks to come.
I warned we were headed straight toward Palestine East over two years ago when everyone was still arguing over trannies. And I warned about trannies years before that when everyone was still looking at CRT. Unfortunately, I see a lot. On the brighter side it lets me see some of the more entertaining things, too.

Posted by: The Teachers Unions at June 23, 2026 11:41 PM (6/7Fs) As someone who has been in the education system for over 20 years now (un-unionized, proudly), the idea that these guys are great at brain-washing people is bizarre to me. The biggest union shills are exceptionally lazy and entitled. They can and sometimes do get their students to parrot back their views, but it's about as impactful as that British teacher in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" having his students repeat the definition of an acre back to him. Not that the education system shouldn't be revamped. It should. End the credentialism based on degrees and make teacher training entirely about managing a classroom. Then encourage burned out middle-aged professionals to transition to teaching once they've learned some methods. Teacher "training" now is all crap theory taught by people with less than five years in the classroom. The TikToks showing HS grads who can't read a sentence are the result. Such people don't even vote, unless they think they are personally getting what whig called their "cheese".

@ 26 I'm watching "Minority Report" for the first time. Very Dickian meditation on memory, reality, and whether one can trust one's self-identity. Lots of clever takes on intrusive tech -- I loved the targeted advertising based on retinal scan. Of course it had to go ridiculously over the top in the chase scenes. It's Tom Cruse! I assume it'll go off the rails shortly.

Care to commiserate Ben Had? I'll start. Yesterday the transformer on the power pole at the corner of the yard shorted out and vaporized the coax cable for our internet, scorched the back of the house, and set the pole on fire. The fire department came and the power company came and after a few hours we had a new pole, transformer, and power. No cable internet though.

Here it is "The 2002 science fiction neo-noir film Minority Report, based on the 1956 short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick, featured numerous fictional future technologies which have proven prescient based on developments around the world. Before the film's production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts to think about technologies that would be developed by 2054, the setting of the film...He wanted to consult with the group to create a plausible "future reality" for the year 2054 as opposed to a more traditional "science fiction" setting. Dubbed the "think tank summit", the experts included architect Peter Calthorpe, Douglas Coupland, computer scientist Neil Gershenfeld, biomedical researcher Shaun Jones, computer scientist Jaron Lanier, and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) architecture dean William J. Mitchell."

His book is good but I always found Townsend to be a controversial figure. He’s was kinda this well off Ivy League educated guy with what seemed more like biases than learned experiences which ultimately clouded his pronouncements. Don’t get me wrong I think he got a lot right about China but there are some important things he missed. I also think he was largely right about the Japanese. I’m also not one given to conspiracy but some of the things about FDR going after him because Townsend knew FDR was pushing towards war with Japan ring partially true.

Posted by: polynikes at June 23, 2026 09:03 PM (GP8V/) --- I think it was about it's subject. The US was roaming the inland waterways of China and the Chinese didn't like it. It was a fact. In the 1930s (when the story took place) Nationalist China had finally found its strength and wanted the foreigners out. That's it. You can read Vietnam into it, but it came out before Vietnam was much of a thing. But China was, and so I think that's what it was about - how we "lost" China. Another factor is that it was now 30 years since those events had happened. That's often when people do historical films and reflect on a past that is fading away. Wait too long, and everyone who remembers it is dead. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at June 23, 2026 09:08 PM (ZOv7s) 210
I heard it's an Uwe Boll movie. How bad is it? Is it unwatchable?
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice I enjoyed it but it's not a great film. There's a sex scene in the middle that just doesn't belong, but the big picture issues are addressed head on and unapologetically. I also kept thinking that Hammer was Jon Ham. They kinda look alike, but they really sound similar. Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at June 23, 2026 09:10 PM (l26NL) 211

Correction: It is in 1926 (I thought it was 1930, my bad).
So yes, the Nationalists are building their strength and in 1928 the Northern Expedition unifies the nation. But in the south, the Nationalists are already gaining control. So the interval (40 years) is very similar to other flashbacks. Lots of World War I books emerged in the early 1960s for that reason. The vets are getting up there, and want to tell their stories.

One thing I’ve been taught throughout my education is to try and determine people’s motives, objectives and morals before you step in. When you liberate the oppressed make damn sure you know which side that is. The Taiping Rebellion was interesting in that regard. People jumped right in before they really knew what the motives were.

The interesting this is that the ChiComs have to really distort history to make the US a villain in the Unequal Treaty era, since we were the *only* power that did not want a concession. We wanted an Open Door, where all foreign powers could trade on the basis of equality with no carve-outs are special rights. The Asiatic Fleet was there to secure American interests and keep banditry down, and I think the movie shows that we got along with the Chinese quite well until Nationalist fervor took hold.

When I bought Villa Gorilla, there was big honking C-band dish outside and the previous owners threw in a receiver, so I used that for several years.
Then I got a DirecTV system, and was very happy for a long time, until I gave up TV watching on general principles. I was an early adopter of Starlink, and my original dish is still going strong. Through it all, there was a cable TV doghouse at the corner of my lot. I'm proud to say I have never succumbed to the temptation of using it.

It is a party with views that are antithetical to our democratic republic. It seeks to subvert our ideals and system of government by any means possible including murder. It is not going to stop until we curb stomp them out of existence. The unfortunate part is it is attracting a lot of like minded and disaffected people who are swayed by their lies and unrealistic promises. It’s really an insurgency because it’s no longer a debate about how to achieve what is best for our country.

It's amazon prime day so you can buy a toaster for 30% off. It was $450 and now you can get it for a steal at 315$. It toasts two slices at a time and has the internet. A toaster. Amazing.
Posted by: banana Dream at June 23, 2026 09:39 PM (3uBP9) --- Why in the world do you need a toaster that's connected to the internet? One that costs $450? You can get a perfectly serviceable toaster that will last forever (more or less) from Walmart for a fraction of that cost. And it won't talk back to you and report your bad toasting skills to social media when you inevitably burn something. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 23, 2026 09:46 PM (gnNyN) 290

I can see three scenarios where it makes sense.
1) We have carriers; We're powerful. (Propaganda, or the Pakleds from ST:TNG). Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 23, 2026 09:40 PM (qx7Zg) --- This is the correct answer. China is obsessed with symbols of power, so having aircraft carriers means China is also powerful. Their carriers are garbage, and the latest "supercarrier" uses magnetic catapults but relies on conventional (oil) power, meaning it has pathetic endurance. Can't cross the Pacific without a train of refuelers. Carriers are NOT obsolete, as the war against Iran showed. Nuclear carriers have incredible endurance, stand-off strike capability and a great deal of flexibility in terms of what type of operation. Hypersonic missiles are being hugely oversold. Carriers move. They move constantly. So course corrections are vital, but if a carrier is over the horizon and your satellite comms are jammed, you are firing blind.

So this might be controversial but I like a puffy face on a gal.

We managed to get some of the lawn mowed so Daisy Dog's tennis balls don't get lost, although she did drop one somewhere while chasing a squirrel.

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 23, 2026 10:15 PM (NFX2v) AGAIN: The BBC Fake-Apologizes For Deliberately Covering Up for "Trans Woman" Who Threatened to Murder Little Girls At School for the Crime of "Misgendering"This is the real face of "transfemicide." Whatever that is, and that's not a Tuq'r Qarlson style evasion -- seriously, whatever that made-up word for a made-up non-trend is. On January 19, the BBC "reported" on "threats" made against schools. Here is their first report -- keeping all relevant facts out of public sight.A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to schools across Merseyside, causing some to go into lockdown, has been jailed. Darren Rigby, 21, of Runcorn admitted three counts of sending communication threatening death or serious harm over a number of days. Holly Lodge Girl's College in Liverpool, Greenbank High School in Southport and later The Belvedere Academy in Princes Park in Liverpool were targeted in January.The threats were serious enough that the schools temporarily closed. The "younger girls" were "particularly affected" and were "terrified." Parents and the public generally would want to know what occasioned these threats, and what kind of a person this "man" is. But the BBC refused to tell them. Only now, six months later -- after the man threatening to murder little girls is sentenced to 28 months -- do they admit the motive for the crime: A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to three girls schools, threatening to target pupils and staff over the "misgendering" of trans girls, has been jailed... In the email to Holly Lodge on 19 January, he said he was "inside the school, hiding with a sword and crossbow", adding that he was "going to injure and kill as many girls as I can" and anyone who "tries to stop me will also be shot". On 23 January, he sent a message to Greenbank, saying he on his way "to the school with a revolver and machete". He said he was "going to shoot and stab all of your girls", adding that "you TERFS" [an acronym of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist which has been used as a derogatory term against women opposed to gender ideology] were "going to learn to stop mocking and misgendering transwomen like me".A transwoman? Note that the BBC always claims that "transwomen" are women -- until one of those transwomen threatens the mass murder of little girls, and then they just call him a "man." Why the sudden change to the stylebook rule about identifying "trans women" as "women," BBC? See more from John Sexton at Hot Air. The BBC "apologizes for the failures in its reporting," but does so with a lie: they claim that the reason these key details were omitted was a simple "miscommunication" between reporters and editors. Do you believe that? Because I'll tell you, I don't. Trust us, they lied. Fire them all. Every single person involved in this corrupt suppression of reality, and everyone involved in drafting this fake cover-up non-apology.
A leading figure in San Francisco's cartoon community admitted to secretly recording guests, including children, inside a bathroom at his home, according to court records. Andrew Farago, who was a curator at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum, was arrested earlier this month at his South Berkeley home on 20 counts of invasion of privacy for using a camera to record the unsuspecting victims at a birthday bash last month. The 50-year-old had hosted the party at his house on May 23 where both adults and children used his bathroom. At one point, a woman found a cellphone in the bathroom recording video. Farago had allegedly set the phone up and concealed it with a towel, and then aimed the phone "to record people's genitalia as they used the restroom," police said. She confronted Farago, who police said admitted to the sick surveillance while claiming that he deleted the videos. He also apologized via email to his party guests, court records showed. "I hid my phone in our bathroom for the purpose of spying on our guests, my closest friends in the world. I had never done anything like that before and don't know what possessed me to do it," he wrote in the note. Farago added that he "is prepared to face whatever consequences will come from this tremendous lapse in judgement."Really? So you're not going to fight a prison sentence and being placed on the sex offender registry? The guy is married (or "married"), but don't waste any sympathy for his wife, who Van Sciver says is just as vicious a bitch as her "husband" is.

So... You're at a friend's party. You go to the restroom and discover a cell phone, which is positioned *just so* and set to record video of everyone using said restroom.
What do you do? I'd bash/break that phone, lift the tank lid & drop the damned phone in there. Replace lid. Say nothing. Leave. Posted by: JQ at June 23, 2026 06:45 PM (rdVOm) 27

All of these freaks used to be locked up and medicated both for their own safety and the safety of society in general.
And yes there were some people locked up against their will that had nothing really wrong with them. That is unfortunate but that was no excuse to shut down almost every mental facility in the country because of that. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 23, 2026 06:46 PM (0N4FZ) 30

Oh, I know! The 'why' for any kind of cheating is always twofold: first, "Because I *wanted* to" is the explanation for the act; and then, "Because I *deserved* it" is what justified doing whatever it took. I've never been married, but I've heard that a betrayed spouse can spend literally years confused about 'why'. Don't overthink it; the cheater certainly didn't.

Being trans is a death sentence.,Im 16 and fucking terrified of my body feminizing further. My family says letting me transition is sexual assault. i feel raped by estrogen and how fucking gross my body looks to me. Im terrified of my hips growing wider but i cant diy hrt. It's so fucking unfair how the crucial time to transition is the only time no one lets you. Fuck my life
HRT works great even if you take it late in life. Teenagehood is not going to ruin you i promise yes, HRT still works wonders past 18 lmao it made me such a handsome dude w such incredible facial hair lol British-government ass response. Yes, transition post puberty can work, but you have no idea about his situation. Maybe try comiserating a little bit. Show some emotional inteligence and meet OP where he's at. It literally does not. With most of your bones fused after puberty there are only few things that HRT might change. Do not spread harmufl misinformation, please. I didn't start until 24.

You know who did? President Lyndon B. Johnson frequently conducted official meetings while seated on the toilet. This unconventional practice was a deliberate tactic of his persuasion style, known as the "Johnson treatment," designed to create awkward environments that allowed him to dominate conversations through flattery or bullying. Bathroom Tactics and Installations Johnson often left the bathroom door wide open and installed telephones in various White House bathrooms to ensure he never missed a call while using the facilities. He would summon aides into the room, and if they attempted to maintain his privacy by turning away or standing at a distance, he would insist they come closer to hear him better.

with Spider-Noir, the first four eps are a noir detective story (largely patterned off of Miller's Crossing) and the last four deliver the Superhero-type story.

Thanks guys. All quiet on the western front. Life is weird.
Second shot; then a brief quiet. I've still not seen the shooter or his precise location; no screaming, shouting or any other noise. I'm looking directly across the center of the room and the shooter appears (no longer concealed by the 6 foot high "hold" books shelving.) He is on aisle #2: He is 6 foot tall, slender, has a long stride, is edge-on to me, and is moving briskly (not running). I see for him 1.5 seconds and then he's out of my view angle. I lose sight of him. Now he begins shooting again; 3,4,5 shots. Quiet again, no one is screaming or shouting. I really believed the shooter was reloading (apparently not.) Time passes; I've literally no idea how much time has passed. I now creep forward and look down the long aisle and see the shotgun on the ground. I immediately (foolishly) think he's a suicide and walk down the aisle and stop directly next to the shotgun. He's not there. But I see a man lying on his back, walk over and he's clearly dead. I step forward two paces and look (to my right) down aisle#2. Nothing, I retreat two steps, look left, and realize that CPD officers are kneeling at the rear ..

The New York Post reports on something I'm pretty sure is no longer on Talarico's website: He's a self-declared "fanboy" of a a self-described "TransQueer Latinx" theologian. Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico once lavished praise on a self-described "TransQueer, Latinx" activist theologian as a major source of inspiration for his left-wing philosophy. "When you started following me on Twitter, I couldn't contain my inner fan boy, because I read your book last year and it continues to inspire me and y'all's work continues to inspire me," the state lawmaker told Roberto Henderson-Espinoza during a March 2021 podcast appearance. "I told you I was a boring, straight, cis white man, and I added 'Presbyterian' to spice it up," Talarico added. "My imagination is also just limited by my own background and identity." "My whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limit my imagination about what's possible," he went on. "And that's where ... your book helps me do that." Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns and self-describes as Mestizaje (mixed race), autistic, non-binary, transgender, and Latinx.Autistic? No. ![]()

It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention? -- This would be the same Uwe Boll who directed all three BloodRayne movies; House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. They were well-shot, I thought. And a decent plot. Just ... the dialog is so baaaad. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 23, 2026 05:41 PM (73/SM) 37

Stephen Miller was on Fox attacking Talarico's masculinity lol. I adore the fact they literally have NOTHING to go after Talarico about!
Imagine some gollum nazi questioning another person's masculinity. Watching the clip, I don't think I've ever seen him smiling until now. Definitely unsettling. ....and Hannity just sits there like the dutiful lemming he is and let's this asshat slander Talarico -- a far bigger man than any of them. They know they can't win on policies. They know that Abbot is unpopular and seen as a corrupt loser. Thier only chance is to tell white working class voters Talarico is a whimp and a girly-man because that will impact the male voters of Texas. The “what is a woman” crowd doesn’t know what a man is. They think *that* guy is qualified to gatekeep masculinity. 🤣😂🤣 Talarico is the kind of Christian they all think they are. He's walking the walk. I'm not interested in religion by any stretch, but his version of Jesus is the guy from the stories, not the one sold on FauxNooz. They know that and hate him for it so they're trying to discredit him. Texas may go blue in November (if we're allowed to vote).

He praised the Bible as "trans-positive," described transgender individuals as "Easter icons," and has given sermons while wearing "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia.
I guess the OT scriptures on treatment of homosexual relationships is totes "trans-positive", as are the NT scriptures: Romans 1:24-27 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

One of the very, very few things I can appreciate about Democrats is that they are honest about routinely defying G-d.
They constantly return to the fantasy of a man made utopia like a dog returns to its vomit. They defy nature. They celebrate sodomy, and mutilation of the innocent in the service of the basest earthly urges. They tell you that the virtuous are wicked, and the wicked virtuous. They elevate sin as the highest expression of art, and the highest form of love. The Republicans look you in the face and decry this moral inversion, but practice it at home. That's *their* brand of Satanic evil. A Christian Democrat is a purposeless demon. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 23, 2026 05:52 PM (BI5O2) 92

Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns
Aside from everything else that is insane, laughable and infuriating about this whole "pronouns" debate, the thing that is MOST ridiculous is their insentence on not knowing the difference between Subjective and objective cases in basic English grammar. If you're going to mangle reality and demand that a woman be referred to by male pronouns, yu're supposed to say "he/him," with "he" being the sub jective case singular, and "him being the obje3ctive case singular. E.g. "He is standing over there. I will give a flower to him." But no. Now these maniacs demand, defying all logic and grammar, they they use two differen subjective pronouns, one being for the bjective place in a sentence: "He is standing over there. I will give a flower to they." ??? Insead, what they (pun inrended) are doing is using the prounun demand to delineate the range or span of crazy-person dream-world identities they occupy, as in "I'm someone in the range between 'he' and 'they'." And Noah Webster spun in his grave. Posted by: zombie at June 23, 2026 05:58 PM (Av6i5) 121

Real Christians are fooled by these fake Christians. This has been going on fr decaes -- outlandish communist radical revolutionaries and sexual deviants cosplays as "Christian" pastor, priests, etc., in some ludicrous extreme-left pseudo-church, usually Unitarian or soemthing similar that isn;'t even really Christian, just assumed a Christian moniker. For a ver short while in the early-mid '70s, real Christian were ticked into thinking these fakers were fellow Christians, but that phase quickly passed, and not one has been fooled since the '80s. What's shicking is the Left is still trying a gambit from this ancient playbook, thinking it is still efffective

Evidently, Democrats took that as a challenge, hence we have Talerico and Platner running for Senator.

They look at Christian’s like anthropologists studying gorillas out in the wild. Which is why they never have a clue about what Christians actually think, and why they always get it so laughably wrong when they try to craft some message that will be “appealing”.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 23, 2026 06:42 PM (0N4FZ) I agree with you in almost every respect. But for several cycles, I’ve been (for my own amusement) trying to forecast Texas results and have gotten pretty close. (It’s actually a pretty predictable state) I put Paxton at 57-43 in the fall, partly because I think black voter turnout is going to be very low, and that kills democrats in Texas. Only big surprise was how close Beto got, and that was mainly the creepy Old College Boyfriend vibe he gave to so many middle aged women. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 23, 2026 06:56 PM (AL+7F) 243

Posted by: Blake - semi lurker in marginal standing at June 23, 2026 06:33 PM (UJMvS) Germany had a goofball election system with 2 stages to be elected president. Hitler did not win a majority but Hindenberg failed to reach 50 percent himself and had lost support overall to other candidates, including Hitler. In the runoff Hitler picked up more votes for President than others did. After the election Hindenberg's chancellor called a Reichstag election and the Nazis became the largest party in the country by a good margin and after the deadlock Hindenberg appointed Hitler to the chancellorship and that was pretty much that. "not having a majority" doesn't mean much if you accept multiple fragmented parties that can't govern alone. Posted by: Oldcat at June 23, 2026 06:56 PM (uhVAy) 244

The actual shooter got 100 years, a trantifa ringleader got 70 years, and various other antifa/trantifa conspirators got 50 years, with a couple getting 30. The left is claiming this is an "attack on free speech" because their violence is, of course, "speech."BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: North Texas Antifa Terror Cell Members Sentenced to Combined 450 Years in Federal PrisonA Mexican national received 30 years. See the article for the whole list. ... The defendants were among nine Antifa members convicted by a federal jury in March following the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history. Their prison sentences are the longest in American history for convicted violent Antifa members.But antifa is just an idea One of those co-defendants, Lynette Sharp, told jurors that members trained together with firearms and coordinated through encrypted Signal chats. Evidence introduced at trial showed that members operated under aliases and carefully planned the direct action. Jurors viewed video evidence showing the cell arriving dressed in black bloc and equipped with firearms, body armor, medical supplies and explosive devices. According to testimony, Song acquired 11 firearms and distributed them among members of the group before the operation. The group used explosive fireworks to lure federal agents and facility personnel from the detention center before opening fire.More at the link. Additional codefendants will be sentenced on July 1. Violent antifa propaganda rag the New Republic calls this a "crackdown on free speech." Oh, New Republic? Do we conservatives equally have the right to use guns against the left as part of our "free speech"? Think carefully before answering.

Not intending to hijack but...
Cancer update: I have stage 2, "unfavorable intermediate" cancer. Unfavorable intermediate is an awful name for what it means, which is the middle but bad enough that they want to treat it. Oh, and it's more aggressive than previously thought so here are the treatment options. I can go with surgery (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or radiation plus temporary chemical castration (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or, of course, death. Pretty sure I'm gonna rule out the last option so I just have to decide on which set of pretty unfortunate side effects I prefer. Yay!

They are all so used to exercising violence and intimidation, doing whatever they want to over and over, destroying property, hurting (or killing) people that dare to disagree with them, reacting with glee to Charlie Kirk's murder and the attempts to murder Donald Trump.
All of a sudden some rough justice puts them at the other end of the stick. I mean, before, they just arrested us and released us a couple of hours later while we laughed all the way home. Geez, we didn't deserve any consequences like this. Not an iota, or a speck of an iota of sympathy. Practice your art and your activism in Huntsville for the next half dozen or so decades.

These sentences may have a chilling effect on terrorism. They must stop.
Posted by: the usual suspects at June 23, 2026 05:05 PM (Q+gd/) Everything from BLM on up has been terrorism. By the book. The idea that the "normies" will comply if they are made uncomfortable enough. Terrorism by definition. Oddly enough - supported by the conflux of "Religious Freedom" - "Free Speech" - and general "go along to get along" that is Modern America. Hate it.

Off topic:
Starbucks is about to get it's posterior handed to them on retail products. Lavazza Coffee (Italian coffee Company) is scaling up their production in the US. You might have already noticed their new presence on the shelves. This is a direct result of the current economic policy to entice corporations to set up shop in the US. Lavazza has vastly increased the size of a roasting plant they set up in West Chester, Pa...and that means their distribution costs are going to be less than Starbuck's for the East Coast. And, they are already about $3 cheaper on a 12 oz. bag of retail bought coffee. And, IMO it tastes better...especially since it's now roasted closer to home, and fresher at the store. I predict some Starbucks store closings coming up shortly. Posted by: Orson at June 23, 2026 05:13 PM (dIske) 215

"Attempted Murder that failed", should always receive sentences close to -- "Attempted Murder that succeeded". Getting such killers off the street before they succeed would be a win.

Red states like TX need to tear a page from the blue state playbook.
1.) Leftist dissenters need to start getting popped with 7-14 year sentences for walking in front of a church or TPUSA rally with so much as an unpleasant look on their faces, which is always. Weaponize everything they do. 2.) If a right winger bricks the windows at a Democrat business, walk his ass. If he shoots a guy at a rally, hold him in County for a year and drop the charges. That's how you put a stop to this bullshit. It worked for them and it can work for us, too. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 23, 2026 05:20 PM (BI5O2) 230

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself could come down and say, "I love my child Karmelo but he committed murder."

I won't post the entire tweet, but here is the first paragraph of an X review of Citizen Vigilante:
Jesús Enrique Rosas @Knesix 4h 'Citizen Vigilante' is the exact cultural pipe bomb we deserved in 2026. Is it an artistic masterpiece? Hell no. It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention?

188 "Jury verdicts are generally not appealable but they can always pull some technicality B$ and file an appeal."
If they do, follow the money to the top. -- No chance. They had to pool their money in order to hire a single attorney to defend them all as a group. The attorney who thought their best defense was to try and engineer a mistrial by wearing a t-shirt to voir dire with their photos along side MLK and other civil rights leaders--just like them. LOL National Antifa--who they were counting on to fund their defense; the National Lawyers Guild, ACLU and all that scum--cut them loose and hung them out to dry.

Chase bought it, she came with the deal. It's more difficult/expensive to fire DEI's than to keep them on and out of the way (as much as possible). This was their first best opportunity to fire her.
