Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Economist Publishes Chart Showing That Immigrants, Especially From Afganistan, the Middle East, and North Africa, Commit a Grossly Disproportionate Amount of Sex Crimes in England, Wales, and Denmark (But Then They Try to Hide the Ball)Here's the thing, though: Because the discrepancies were so enormous, they attempted to hide just how grossly disproprtionate the rates of sex offense are. They put the numbers on a logarithmic scale --which deliberately squashes numbers together to disguise just how great the differences are -- to hide the full extent of the disparity. But people normalized the scale into a simple and clear linear graph. Here's the graph the pro-open-borders Economist published. Note the scale at top shows rates of sex offense jumping from 1, to 2, to 5, to 10. That's to hide the outlier here.

Do immigrants from some countries commit more sex crimes? A hard look at Britain’s data suggests so. But it is hardly an epidemicTren de Aragua only took over a few apartment buildings in Colorado. The article is paywalled and conspicuously absent from Archive.is, but here are some quotes found on a Reddit thread about the article: Ten additional rapes = no big deal. But we should also hang the Cornell 7, who are guilty of zero rapes. The Economist attempts to make the numbers look better by weighting for age. Now, it is true that men aged between 17 and, say, 35 commit the great majority of crimes, and most of the immigrants coming over from these shithole countries fall into that age range. An invasion of "military aged men," as they say. But this does not help their case, because they're advocating for a continuing flow of men from these countries at the exact ages most likely to rape or commit violent crimes. The anti-immigration or immigration-slowdown crowd makes the case that we cannot absorb so many military-aged men -- or, perhaps we should say, rapist- aged men -- in so short of time. And also: This kind of numbers-massaging doesn't make the great disproportion in sex offenses go away. It just reduces it from "terrifying" to "highly alarming." The Economist says we can and should and that the additional rapes and sex attacks are just the cost of boosting our GDP (by importing huge numbers of nonworking males with no skills who will be on the dole their entire lives). My citation for that? Why, another graph prepared by the gonzo open borders woke magazine The Economist, showing that immigrants from the "MENAPT" countries -- Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey -- contribute the least to the Danish economy by far. Note the second lowest line represents other immigrants -- also a small contribution. Also note that this is based on age, so all groups drop to very low levels of economic contribution as they go past retirement age, as of course they would. But look at the very low levels of economic contribution for immigrants in what are, in the West, considered the "productive years" of a man's life: ![]() The Economist, in another article, says that riots in Europe have nothing to do with culture: The Economist

Here, I have to get back to work. This is from FoxNews on a New York Times report.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s crowded ballot, according to The New York Times. The effort, internally dubbed the “ballot composition project,” included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state. The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent. The White House communications department weighed in with a firm rebuke of the reporting that has come out after nearly 60,000 early votes have been cast in that election thus far, according to The Associated Press Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy 106 years old - puppy at heart at October 28, 2026 02:16 PM (Sco7b) 25

The Economist may be the best example of the decline, verging on collapse, of civic culture, knowledge, and thinking in the Anglosphere west.
Forty years ago it was excellent. A one-stop quick look at the world, mostly by knowledgeable actual journalists, well written, crisp. Now it's the high school level garbage that makes up almost all of the "press" and public square. No reason to think the audience, such as it is, isn't as degraded, and didn't in fact drive the decline. Posted by: rhomboid at October 28, 2026 02:17 PM (U/Byj) 30

--- Because a collision of atheist "bright ideas" still are scuttling our change at reproducing our population. They've been spinning the plates of politician promises covered by new revenue for a long time, and that would come to a crashing halt when all these anti-reproduction "bright ideas" are combined with a cessation of immigration. They've sold the welfare state, now they need more people to pay in so their promises don't fail on their watch. They will use other words, but it illustrates the same system.

Reality is a harsh mistress.
But every woman north of the Mediterranean knows the reality -- being alone, or isolated, with a man from "MENAPT" means you are very likely to get raped. Even leftist/liberal woman know this. And this fact utterly destroys their entire worldview -- openness, cultural relativism, "anti-racism," white-shame, The Noble Savage, "equality" -- all proven false or counter-productive or disastrous.

Another important point: that graph is based on criminal convictions from 2020-22. Thus, latest data is at least 4 years old.
Anyone here think African and Muslim invaders got less rapey in the last 4 years? And why only England and Wales. What about Scotland? I have to say, the graph looked like it underrepresented the African/Muslim sex crimes as compared to the rest of the population. Now I think I know why. It's been 4 years of these animals getting away with all sorts of crimes, from rapes to murders to thefts, and I'm sure it emboldened them. Plus, there are a lot more of these mongrels in the UK now. So I would add 25% at least to their lines on the graph. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 28, 2026 02:18 PM (iFTx/) 39

the most bizarre feature of the economist's analysis -- especially in light of the fact that it is a british journal -- is that, while afghanistan is broken out as a particular country of origin, pakistan (the origin of the majority of the perpetrators of the "grooming gangs" tragedy) is lumped into "south asia", almost certainly elevating the statistic from that region while (conveniently ?) obfuscating what is likely to be a pakistani overrepresentation.
afghanistan -- another particularly problematic country of origin -- was noted specifically, and the study was published despite its lack of coordination with the pertinent leftist narrative, so i don't mean to suggest the economist has fully hidden the ball here, but it's a peculair omission nonetheless to exclude pakistan.

Of course, that was a lie. I know nobody who voted for RCV, but enough did that it barely passed. If you knew who counted the votes in Anchorage, you would know that count was suspect as well, but as goes Anchorage, so goes AK. It will be repealed during this election, not to worry. Everyone is sick of the nonsense and the lack of party control over who ends up on the final ballot. Likewise, nobody is going to vote for the fake Dan Sullivan unless they are totally leftist and retarded. The dude is a drunk from Petersburg, for heaven's sake.

Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu 2h Translated from Hebrew Likud: The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters. The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations—thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more. We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals. We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results.

Murkowski came out to endorse JKT, who is a leftist fag from Sitka and would be a disaster as Governor. She did so because Trump endorsed Bernadette, who should really win the whole thing. The problem is that Bronson, who claims to be a Republican, is so butt-hurt by being beat by a woman in the primary that he won't drop out of the damned race like he said he would, and he is going to split the vote and ruin Bernadette's chances. Same with Trig Taylor. Neither one of those men are the least bit honest and have egos the size of.... well, bigger than their dicks, certainly.

Now, Government does not produce anything EXCEPT order... it produces no products, no wealth... just enforces rules and regulations. So when 47% of your total wealth, is either used for control, or given to someone else in your society (which is also a form of control)... of course the normal citizen has no real chance.

The Arab parties won a highest-ever 19 seats-- which would be enough, if combined with the left wing Jewish parties, to take a majority. But the Arab parties are, get this, pro-Hamas, and there is a longstanding taboo in Israel against allying with terrorist-supporting groups. For some reason. I don't know why. But my guess is that the left wing has abandoned all restraints in Israel, as they have in America, and will in fact implement the Red-Green Alliance, even in Israel, which just experienced its own 9/11 three years ago.Huh, polls overstated support for the left and understated support for the right. Must be the first time that has ever happened. I wish I believed that. But the left is now untethered and is increasingly comfortable with supporting actual terrorism and murder against their opponents. ... Trump, who had called on Israeli voters to keep Netanyahu in power so the two leaders could "finish the job" in Iran, said Netanyahu had done "very well" thanks to his own endorsement that "helped him a lot".Of course. Ed Morrissey adds some analysis. None of the Arab parties will declare Hamas a terrorist group, nor will they stand for Israeli policies in either Gaza or the West Bank. While Israeli politics is famously fractious and far more to the Left than the US, those positions are far enough to the extreme that most other parties will not abide a coalition that includes the Arab parties. That may be even more true after the October 7 massacres; voters blame Netanyahu for ignoring the threat, but they are not going to back a government that has to let Hamas off the hook to boot Netanyahu out of office, either.Yeah I don't know about that.

Its even worse then that. While there were people living the Holy Land, prior to Zionism the population was light - the Ottomans didn't develop the land and it wasn't that important to Muslims.

Where do most of the families who used to live in British Palestine live?
In Jordan. The British split off 80% of the territory, in spite of the Balfour resolution, and gave it to the non-Jews, and they called that area "Jordan". The people of Jordan are 100% genetically indistinguishable from "Palestinians". So where is the state for the "Palestinian" people (former denizens of British Palestine)?

I went to Israel a dozen years ago. We were on a little guided tour of some ruins near Tel Aviv; there was much friendly discussion between the guide and the small group of tourists. The guide was a leftist and very free with his criticism of Israel. One of the tourists, an American-born professor at some college in England, started heavily criticizing Israel as regarded the current Palestinian situation. The guide quickly turned on him and if you had just shown up you would have thought he was a right-wing nationalist.
From my limited experience, Israeli politics and identity are very different from what we think of here. It probably comes with being a small country surrounded by enemies and living next to a terrorist state. Posted by: Dr. Fausti - I WAS The Science at October 28, 2026 01:43 PM (9ZFZd) 157

From Amit Segal's It's Noon in Israel newsletter. They are looking at the Arab vote -
On election day, police detained three Negev residents, one of them a senior figure at Siyua 48, the charity widely seen as part of the parent organization behind Ra’am. According to police, they were carrying tens of thousands of shekels in cash, packed in envelopes marked “A gift from the Islamic Movement.” Overnight, according to right-wing lawmakers, polling observers in Arab towns reported voters arriving at the ballot box holding fuel cards and gift cards they had been handed at the entrance, and some voters allegedly said the cards were payment for voting Ra’am. If cash envelopes and gift cards moved even a fraction of a seat, in an election decided by a handful of seats and a 3.25 percent threshold, they could have decided who clears the line and whether Netanyahu or Eisenkot gets to 61. The Central Elections Committee and the police now have one week until the official results to show the public that the count can be trusted.

Jan 6 was NOT about overturning the election, it was a plea for Congress to slow down so evidence could be gathered... so Congress could DO their job of ensuring it was a fair election before accepting the Electoral Votes.

That whole drama with breaking the windows and Babbitt happened 15 minutes after the last Congressfool was evacuated from the building. But you have to pay attention to the timeline--and a lot of lefties were totally incapable of understanding the timeline of the Trayvon Martin killing. Also, very much not known was the crush where the authorities gathered in riot gear ~ 3:15 trying to crush "protestors" against the back wall of the rotunda. That's probably where some fucking damage was done!! I wanted nothing to do with January 6th--but what I've since seen is appalling. How fucking rigged this incident still is by mainstream press.

the eminently corrupt Senator Blumenthal, that paragon of American virtue, is sending out threats in writing to any ship bringing diesel from Russia to America.
What a piece of shit that guy is... Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 28, 2026 01:54 PM (0lGst) I had it pointed out to me that the US and the USN, unlike the Euros and most of the rest of the world, consider that any shipping carrying US cargo to or from US ports are considered under US protection, no matter what the flagging. Should France or England or Holland decide to interdict Russian flagged shipping carrying oil or diesel to US ports, they have just recreated the crisis that brought on the Quasi War with France or the War of 1812. Now the Euros have not problem with buying diesel that comes from Russia, France is still buying lots, but they have a problem with not being able to seize Russian shipping as they see fit. Blumenthal is probably just acting on this European reluctance. Posted by: Kindltot at October 28, 2026 01:59 PM (rbvCR) 209

"The war in Gaza, which flattened the territory and killed 74,000 Palestinians, has left Israel increasingly isolated on the world stage, with a decisive shift in global public opinion against it, including in its closest ally the United States."
Naturally, because before the terrorist 10/6 Palestinian invasion, "global public opinion" was favoring Israel and Israel wasn't "isolated on the world stage". You see, contemporary history only began after Israel responded to an existential enemy hellbent on River-To-The-Sea ideology. Nothing predated the hostility and global opinion was amicable.

Israel is so isolated their defense industries are rationing their products to foreign buyers, even limp non-entities like Germany are punking their Arab investors to co-produce Israeli defense gear, countries are moving their embassies to Jerusalem, and trade of all kinds is booming. Not to mention a de facto economic/strategic alignment with Greece and Cyprus gaining momentum.
Remember kids, many around the world hate the US (true), hate Trump especially (true) - which provides exactly zero substantive information on whether the US is thriving, pursuing the right policies, etc. The same ridiculous propaganda for retards "press" that generates anti-US and and anti-Trump animus is the one creating a climate of hate for Israel.

'I lost everything': Ex-MIT scientist David Sabatini goes on camera for first time since $6M verdict By Ted Daniel, Boston 25 News BOSTON -- A Boston jury has awarded former MIT biology professor Dr. David Sabatini $6 million after finding that a former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, defamed him. The verdict came years after her sexual misconduct allegations cost the renowned scientist his lab, his job, and his reputation.Women never lie about rape or sexual harassment. Never, h8rz. Never never never. Do better, h8rz. #DoBetter. Here comes her #HeToo admission: A text in which she admits she was "quite aggressive" in entering his hotel room for sex, and then joking she nearly raped him: she called it a #HeToo encoujnter. In a video deposition, attorney Arrowood questioned Knouse about other messages. Knouse confirmed that she had written, "I know what I want, and I go after it." Asked about a message in which she wrote about visiting Sabatini's hotel room late at night during a work retreat, "In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, #hetoo," Knouse said she "was just making a joke about how I was being forward in that moment."Women never lie about rape. Never. They never use such allegations for vengeance against a lover who has rejected them. Documents from the case show Knouse called her campaign against Sabatini "Covert Operation Dethrone." In one message, she joked about buying a "Lambo" if she won a settlement. Below: The lying criminal who defamed him and ruined his life attempts to explain away a text in which she wrote that she was "aggressive" when she went into his rom to seduce him and then joked that she almost raped him, writing #HeToo. In other words, he was a #MeToo victim, but he's male, so it's #HeToo. She's joking about the rape but this casts rather a lot of doubt on her claims of being relentlessly sexually stalked by this man and "coerced" into a sexual relationship against her will.

I suspect that there are fewer incidents of false accusation than real rape, that there are more times a man has raped a woman than a woman has falsely accused a man in court of raping her.
The difference is one of attitude and consequences. When a man rapes a woman, the other men want to beat him to death with axe handles. He goes to prison for decades and the other prisoners treat him like the scum he is. When a woman accuses a man of rape, she's immediately supported by most men and all women. When its proven it was not rape many women continue to support her and a large percentage of people demand she be left alone because a woman's accusation is sacred. If you punish her, that will scare women off from accusing women of rape! And the man's life is still ruined he forever after has a blight on his professional and personal relationships. It can end careers, end friendships, get them shunned even if its proven false.

Sabatini's sued Knouse over the accusations and his firing. In court, Sabatini and his legal team, led by Lisa G. Arrowood, argued the relationship was consensual. They also presented evidence they said showed Knouse had become jealous of another woman Sabatini was interested in and had sought to have him fired.

His downfall began in 2020, when Knouse, an early career postdoctoral researcher at the Whitehead, accused him of sexual misconduct and harassment. She claimed Sabatini coerced her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year.
This woman isn't some doe-eyed, innocent ingenue, she's a f***ing PhD at one of the world's top institutions. Suggesting that she lacks agency is risible. How did he coerce her? Did he physically threaten her? Did he make her employment conditional on having sex with him? If the latter, she could report it, and move to another group. In a word, she needed to man up. However, I don't think this was such a relationship. She clearly just didn't get out of it what she had hoped for. Posted by: Archimedes at October 28, 2026 12:24 PM (Riz8t) 69

Did y'all hear this story about the mother who left her kids and went to Vegas?
When I first heard about it, I couldn't imagine being so neglectful. But when I read more about it, I sided with the mother. The oldest was 14. Most of us grew up with babysitters younger than that. The other kids were 12, 11, and 9. We're not talking about infants or toddlers. Many kids at that age are pretty easy to take care of. She had an adult checking in on them after school. She wasn't going to Vegas to party, she had a work trip. She fully stocked the fridge and left money for pizza. The kids' father is allegedly abusive and was out of the picture. The 9 year old dropped a 5lb dumbbell on his head and the older kids knew to call 911 and get help. This could have happened just as easily with mom in the other room. The system's response to this situation was to put the kids with the abusive father. Something tells me that's not better. Posted by: bonhomme at October 28, 2026 12:29 PM (mkw2N) 89

I still contend that it should have been thrown out immediately because the plaintiff could not provide a specific date of the alleged rape or even something close to it
And she had no witnesses. And she had a record of accusing men of rape and attacks without a shred of evidence. And she is clearly insane. And it was a blatant political attack. Most European nations would not even try a case that shoddy and meritless. Now, mind you, a country like France literally bans DNA testing kids for paternity so you gotta take that with a grain of salt, but still.

Never, h8rz. Never never never Last time I looked at the numbers between 2% and 80% of claims of sexual violence are false. The 2% number comes from studies where they only considered a claim false if the nominal victim confessed to making up the claims, the 80% comes from only 20% of cases reported to the police leading to a guilty verdict. Feminists will quote the 2% number which is a silly stat, and you'll find anti-feminists quote the 80% which is also silly.

Irene Miller, 50, was taken into custody Friday as she stepped off a plane. Two days earlier, one of her children had called 911 after a dumbbell fell on her 9-year-old brother's head.
When deputies arrived at the family's Kissimmee home, they found the children without adult supervision and had the injured boy taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Miller now faces four counts of child neglect. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Where's My Cookie? at October 28, 2026 12:40 PM (ndZc7) Well, I would say, technically she is guilty of child neglect, if child neglect is defined as lack of adult supervision for X time frame. She could have avoided this charge by simply hiring a minder for the kids to be there for the duration of the trip. I would not regard her as a bad mother for not doing this, but she had to know she was taking a risk. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 28, 2026 12:54 PM (Asc1p) 198

Here's a good example of how dumb early vote analysis can lead one astray (note, the link is not to dumb analysis, but I will continue):
https://x.com/IAPrairiePop/status/ 2115485927178936687 "Iowa Dems are up 15% in early voting in Iowa! It's a bloodbath for Republicans! They have no chance!" Same day from 2022 when Reynolds won by 18% shows that Democrats were winning the early vote by 23%. So, is the proper analysis to assume that this shows unusual strength from Democrats in Iowa? If you are a fucking retard, yes. Otherwise, you look at it and realize that Democrats are running 8% behind the year that they lost the governor's mansion by 18% in early voting, when Democrats are at their strongest, and just write off the state as lost.

I found out something in the last couple of weeks.
As I eschew blurring detail that blurs important distinctions, I want to make a note of it. Land-owning head-of-household women could vote prior to the 19th amendment. Women could vote--if they were in the same position of men that voted--save by that time unlanded bachelors could vote, I believe. The 19th amendment was a move to individualism, where wives could offset their husband's vote. Posted by: Axeman at October 28, 2026 01:17 PM (Fi81e) 291

Not that that matters as she's a mean ole beetch and has beady eyes. Her reputation, at least with future men, is now in tatters.

If your university doesn't have this as a written policy, that even consensual sexual relationships between persons in these categories are forbidden, they're just asking for trouble. At least this one didn't end in a murder-suicide like the one at my university (prior to the "no fraternization" policy) did. Posted by: FeatherBlade at October 28, 2026 02:15 PM (vJrRc) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() One example of the "scientific" part of it being optional is the moral panic over plastic drinking straws. You probably remember this one. In 2015, a video showing what was alleged to be a plastic drinking straw being removed from a sea turtle's nose spread on the internet. It was fairly unpleasant, the turtle was obviously suffering and the then-current boogeyman of "single-use plastics" was enthusiastically blamed. The normal cries of "SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING" went out and then the special interests, virtue signalers, press organs and of course the state came to the rescue. There was a "simple fix" for this "major problem:" eliminate plastic drinking straws. Don't stop to think about whether it's actually sensible. Don't consider any other consequences. Don't consider the public. Just implement the simple fix and save the :: spins wheel :: sea turtles. So we did. It started, as it usually does, with the virtue signalers and media organs. After all the stories of the horrors of drinking straws and the inevitable social media amplification, outfits like Starbucks and American Airlines loudly announced that they would eliminate the modern-day horror of plastic drinking straws. Countless other places followed suit, spurred on by social media, NGOs and lobbyists. Then came the state actions. States like California and its little sister Colorado started prohibiting automatic distribution of plastic drinking straws (the customer must ask for one) and so helped the product to get crowded out, with Colorado going further more recently. Countless municipalities banned straws and often extended those bans to other "single-use plastics" like shopping bags. The little thing was in fact very big, had huge effects on the market and the substitute good - usually, paper straws or bags - was wildly inferior and people hated it. It was only a matter of time before the revelation that this is all pointless at best came to the fore. As anti-straw fervor spread widely, including to Korea, that country's government commissioned a study on drinking straws. They commissioned the study after taking action, of course, but what they found will surprise nobody who has seen this wheel turn a time or two:Conventional plastic straws had the smallest impact in 10 of the 16 categories, including climate change, acidification, particulate matter and human toxicity. Bio-PE straws had the largest impact in 10 categories, including ozone depletion, acidification and smog. Paper straws had the largest impact in three categories, while biodegradable plastic straws did so in two.So, as usual, the response was worthless at best and destructive at worst - and disruptive and expensive regardless. The sea turtle incident was used to flog a global movement against "single-use plastics," with the turtle-maiming plastic straw as the whipping boy. They got their way. In many places - including places where it can never make sense, like landlocked Colorado - they are no more. All they did was forcibly exchange plastic straws for an inferior substitute that is no better and may be worse. This is what always happens and this incident followed the normal progression. They achieved nothing but compliance for its own sake. Don't expect facts to get in the way or for the bans to be rolled back, though. It was the "right thing to do" and the right kind of busybody mini-tyrants feel far too good about it. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

"The president of the US is a civilly adjudicated sex abuser and has not only flippantly dismissed allegations of sexual violence made against others in his orbit, but made it fashionable and popular attitude for the men in his delusional cult. He has created a suffocating atmosphere of misogyny and predation. We only have to look to the manosphere, or the rape academies online where millions of men exchange best practices for drugging and raping their wives, girlfriends, sisters or deepfake pornography which is destroying thousands of women’s lives or sex robots."

The whole jihad against plastic straws/bags amazed me.
I live on the east coast. I went to a town hall discussion on banning plastic bags. Why should we do that? Well the pro-banning side brought up the case of a whale in the Philippines that got bags stuck in its throat. Ok. I live on the east coast of the US - tell people in China/Philippines to stop littering and leave me alone. The ban passed BTW. And I remember some Karen arguing that sure the non-disposable bags they were replaced with needed to be washed and were more expensive but everyone has time and money for that right?

"In 2015, a video showing what was alleged to be a plastic drinking straw being removed from a sea turtle's nose spread on the internet."
The video was obviously staged. What are the odds that some rando activist against Demon Plastic just happens to find a sea turtle with a plastic straw that inexplicably got stuck in its nose? The video gives the game away in two respects: One, when they somehow identify that it's a plastic straw at a time when nobody who is watching would think that's what it is. And two, the vid seems strategically edited, as if they cut around parts they didn't want you to see. Then the true nature of the op was revealed when an obviously coordinated messenging campaign sprung up overnight. I feel for the turtle, especially since it was these creeps that stuck the straw up its nose. But a little blood is much better than, you know, getting eaten alive by the 500 predators in the oceans that feed on these turtles. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 28, 2026 11:12 AM (iFTx/) 39

So we had to switch to plastic bags. And then we had to ban plastic bags because it was killing the planet. And none of the "studies" those bans were based on ever accounted for the fact the every household reused paper and plastic bags Anyway, the US could easily meet it's carbon reduction goals if we nuked one major city.

Posted by: Auspex at October 28, 2026 11:08 AM To be fair, your SiL is on the front lines of the war against psychopatriarchy: "We can try to block it (courts); we can starve it (strikes); we can remove it (vote and get them out office). We can name and shame it (speaking out, marches and rallies), refuse to normalize it (write about it, make art about it); we can prosecute it. ... But what we cannot do is go to sleep, become small and still, with the childlike fantasy that they will not find us. What we cannot do is succumb to it or become them – numb, selfish, hollow and cruel. Our feelings, our pain, our empathy, our rage, our love, our refusal to turn away will be our salvation. Psychosis is the inability to tell what is real from unreal. Our work is to say what we see and trust what we know, to keep speaking truth to power and go to any lengths to stay connected to reality and each other."

I worked in a blue city. There was a new environut mayor candidate. My cow-workers loved her. She ran on a platform of among other things making office parks reserve half their parking spots for compact cars. So when she won she put in said rule and the office park I worked in dutifully repainted the spots so half were reserved for compact cars. Those cow-workers generally drove big trucks/SUVs and were often overweight so you can imagine they were now constantly banging other cars with their doors. This created much anger...against the company that owned the office park. I pointed out they were enacting a new rule that the mayor they liked had passed. "But they didn't have to do it this way!" and then when I pointed out didn't they agree SUVs/trucks were bad for da Erf anyway the stock answer was "I need mine though!".

King County had a ballot measure to increase car registration fees by something like 300% to fund public transportation boondoggles across the county. It easily passed of course.

China found it was cheaper to just dump the stuff in the ocean rather then recycling it.
-- In Southern Idaho, they built a new grade into the Snake River Canyon. They needed fill, as the old grade crept along the wall, this one was largely a straight cut. And even with the thousands of tons of rock they blasted out, they needed more. They turned to the local glass recycler who gladly off-loaded thousands of tons of glass--that they otherwise had no use for. Anyway, they named it something dumb, like for some local dignitary. Instead of the more poetic "Glassheart Grade." Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at October 28, 2026 11:27 AM (3cUTc) 100

13 Enviro bullshit aside, using a straw to drink water or a soda from a glass is gay and no man should ever be seen doing so.
Posted by: Fuck Em All The original name for straws were sanitary straws because of crappy dishwashing leaving unclean glasses especially with residue along the rim. With the EPA interfering in dishwasher function to 'save' energy, dirty glasses are again an issue because the dishwashers are imperfect about removing residue nowadays due to limits on water and energy usage of dishwashers. So you might want to return to using straws to avoid 3rd World health issues. Posted by: whig at October 28, 2026 11:30 AM (E4rtv) 112

Re: AI...there was an interesting editorial by the publisher in a very specialized hobby magazine I subscribe to saying that secretive corporations are buying up huge amounts of books with seemingly no care for cost, scanning them into computers, and destroying them. He said one of those companies contacted him and bought all their back issues for hundreds of dollars. He had also contacted collector book sellers that said they have been getting orders like that. This magazine deals with aviation history mostly from the 70s and back so has almost no bearing on anything of current import, you would think. Why would AI be concerned with 1938 piston engined warbird technology? And why would the overlords care about that, or the relatively few people who are interested in that?

"Keep your distance" was the small thing that was actually a monumental pain in the butt that would bring about salvation at scale in the form of infection reduction.
Yea, but I kinda miss the days when it was socially acceptable to say "get the fuck away from me" when some rando got too close. I have an odd problem in that I hate people but they are somehow inexplicably drawn to me. My physical size and demeanor scream "keep the fuck away," but wherever I go or stand, some randos will always follow. It's annoying as fuck.

Re: AI...there was an interesting editorial by the publisher in a very specialized hobby magazine I subscribe to saying that secretive corporations are buying up huge amounts of books with seemingly no care for cost, scanning them into computers, and destroying them.
This is true and honestly not that secretive. Most of the big AI companies are doing variants on this because the more content you give your AI the smarter it will be.

"stop throwing shit in the ocean"
From AI: Historically cited studies identified major river systems—such as the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai He, Pearl, Mekong, Indus, Ganges, Amur in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa—as carrying the majority of land-based plastic into the sea. Newer field research shows that thousands of smaller, densely populated coastal and inland rivers also contribute heavily to total riverine plastic emissions. So Asia and possibly our own coasts, where the typical liberal elites live. Posted by: Rex B at October 28, 2026 11:44 AM (sdSI9) 197

We can't actually experiment ethically by controlled studies by giving some guys microplastics and others are kept pure. So we use large study groups using statistical controls rather than experimental designs. These can be good at showing correlation but not so much on causation.

GatewayPundit found people who require IDs.
In today's world, where a man's word should be enough. According to the left, it is racist to require IDs to vote, but not when it comes to attending an event with radical leftist streamer Hasan Piker. In order to get into his recent event with Ilhan Omar, attendees had to show their ID and go through ‘airport style’ security. Also, organizers barred the press from entering. Isn’t that what authoritarians do? Isn’t that what we have been told by the left? In the video below, you can see a security person explaining to people in line that they are going to have to present their IDs. Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 106 years old!

The vibrator was actually invented to relieve doctors who were tired of performing "manipulations" on female patients to "relieve hysteria".
The cynic in me suspects that some patients still got the manual treatment. One thing that gets trotted out every now and then is the argument that people from that era didn't understand sex and orgasms. I think most people did. A woman going to get her hysteria treated almost certainly knew what she was going to get even if she was probably very vague in how she described the health issue to her husband.

I pondered the idea of using a Bic pen for a straw. I could justify it as part of my Every Day Carry because I might need to do an emergency tracheotomy, right? Just pull the cap off, pull out the ink/nib bit, and I have a non-disposable straw. But it's plastic so I didn't.
Maybe if someone knows of a metal case Bic-style pen I can buy.... Posted by: GWB at October 28, 2026 12:31 PM (kU0PQ) 321

Interesting painting. The soldiers in the background point toward a WW I date but the civilian refugees cold be from any time period. There is a feel of a Biblical event in the way are dressed. Perhaps it's a statement about the cost of war. The soldiers are exhausted. The people are just figures, undistinguished, almost cloned, and carrying whatever they could gather quickly. They are trudging one way as the army moves the other, presumably toward battle. The ruined house is lit as if by flames. The colors Eby used are dull except for the scarf on the old man leading the refugees. He is the only one not bowed. Perhaps he has been through this before. He reminds me of Moses leading the slaves out of Egypt.
Not a happy, patriotic theme but in keeping with much of the poetry that came out of that war, lamenting the waste and loss. With all the recent talk from our government of in Europe about prepping for difficulties, natural or manmade, today's art selection seems appropriate.

Biff Pocoroba, the whole album was shit (except marginally Sync' II), mainly because nobody in the band wanted to work with the others.
The story I heard about EBYT was that they all got in a typical brawl about which track to put up front. So the drums and guitar are muted because Copeland and Summers (literally) phoned in their tracks. Luckily for their bank accounts, the bass could actually carry that one.

I was trying to figure out how many cops are black - the short answer is that they are at parity with general population in overall police forces, and are somewhat overrepresented in state & local police forces, and significantly underrepresented in federal police forces. But in the process of figuring this out, I obviously needed to know "what percentage of US cops are federal cops?" It's 18 fuckin' percent. 18.

50 dead in a train crash (not in India)? Wow.
Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal On Wednesday morning, two high-speed trains run by separate companies (Iryo and Renfe) crashed outside Toledo, Spain, the historic city known for its legendary steel. Over 500 people were packed onto the two trains. As of 9:30 a.m. EST, the death toll stood at 64, and this number seems to still be rising. More details from The U.S. Sun: According to officials, one high-speed train collided with the rear of another service that had stopped on the line.

I was trying to figure out how many cops are black - the short answer is that they are at parity with general population in overall police forces, and are somewhat overrepresented in state & local police forces, and significantly underrepresented in federal police forces. But in the process of figuring this out, I obviously needed to know "what percentage of US cops are federal cops?" It's 18 fuckin' percent. 18.

I'm working on my projects and just came across a painting called Madame X.
John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925). Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) (detail), 1883–84. Oil on canvas; 82 1/8 x 43 1/4 in. (208.6 x 109.9 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Arthur Hoppock Hearn Fund, 1916 (16.53) Throughout his early years in Paris, Sargent built his reputation by convincing friends and notable members of fashionable society to pose for him and then exhibiting these works at the Paris Salon. This is the case with Madame X, his most famous portrait. She was Virginie Avegno Gautreau (1859–1915), an expatriate from Louisiana who was married to a French banker. She was a familiar figure in Parisian society, known for her artful appearance, which she accentuated with dramatic cosmetics and clothing. The ambitious young Sargent was fascinated by her and undertook the portrait without a commission, hoping to enhance his reputation. Of course, the painting was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon in 1884. Viewers and critics found the portrait offensive, ugly, and eccentric, and Gautreau and her mother begged Sargent to remove the painting from the exhibition. Neat.

When Democrats don't net any senate seats at all, and the Senate stays the same, I'll be called wrong because I "predicted a red wave and said Republicans would have 99 seats in the Senate" even though I've been predicting a wash in the Senate for 18 months.

I believe they used that as a leaning experience. They are also actively trying to hide their activities based on DoJ actions and plans to monitor the election process in certain districts. I sense there will be a lot of questionable activity, especially where seats are competitive.

Irish authorities have raised concerns about the possible trafficking of 22 Somali children who arrived in Ireland unaccompanied, highlighting growing scrutiny of the risks facing vulnerable young migrants entering the country.
The Irish Examiner, reporting on October 20, cited figures from Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency, which notified An Garda Síochána, the national police service, of concerns about the potential trafficking of 35 children during the year. Somalis accounted for 22 of those cases, the largest national group identified in the notifications. The figures indicate concerns about possible trafficking, not confirmation that every child was trafficked. Posted by: SMOD at October 28, 2026 11:00 AM (RHGPo) 313

Tusla has expressed deep regret over its inability to fulfill its statutory obligation in providing "timely access" to special care for some young people subject to a High Court order.
Tusla sought an order for a 14-year-old girl that gardaí believed was being subjected to "horrifying" sexual exploitation by multiple men, according to The Irish Times. Tusla was seeking a special-care order for the girl, but told the court it was currently unable to provide her with a bed in any of its three special-care units.

The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results. Per Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey, 2025 saw 2.16 million violent incidents — down from 2.83 million in 2024, for the largest single-year drop since 1973. . . . Democrat mayors are trying to claim credit for last year’s marked decline in violent crime, yet the staggering 25% drop was nationwide and came in the first year of President Donald Trump’s new term. The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results.And despite the ups and downs of oil and energy prices as a result of the ongoing conflict with Iran, it ultimately will stabilize and no doubt drop to lower costs as it has always done in the past in the wake of the geopolitical crisis du jour that caused the spike in the first place. So on that note, there's this item. President Donald Trump will announce an EPA proposal on Tuesday evening gutting Biden-era regulations that placed strict limits on methane emissions from oil and gas drilling operations, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Methane is released during the flaring of natural gas, which takes place at oil drilling operations that lack expensive capture technology. For years, environmentalists and Democrats have called for stricter regulations, including rules barring flaring, that target methane, which activists refer to as a "super pollutant" and is more potent than carbon dioxide. Overall, Tuesday's action removing methane regulations—which represents the latest major energy-related announcement Trump has made in the run-up to the upcoming midterm election—is projected to save Americans $45 billion in energy costs and lead to an extra 210 million barrels of oil and 1.41 trillion cubic feet of natural gas produced nationwide, a Trump EPA official briefed on the announcement told the Free Beacon.Oh please. This is an abject crock of shit. If methane were so lethal then how is it that the human population jumped to roughly 8 billion from an estimated 1.25 billion in 1850, which was about the start of the Industrial Revolution, when oil, coal and natural gas were produced and burned wherever civilization and human progress progressed! Therefore, If you love your children burn fossil fuels. Here’s a question someone should ask climate expert Greta Thunberg today. What if global warming is preventing the next ice age? Wouldn’t that be a good thing for children everywhere?Of course all of this sanity could come screeching to a halt should the midterms be whole or in part taken by the Dems and certainly should a non-MAGA aligned Republican not come out on top in 2028 and for every election afterwards and our educational system not be purged of the Leftists from Pre-K through Post-Graduate. And when I say the midterms TAKEN by the Dems I mean that quite literally. In a 2-1 decision handed down Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department’s emergency request to pull those ballots out of the count while the voters’ eligibility is reviewed. The majority wrote that the government’s urgency was partly of its own making. Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented, arguing the federal government has a sovereign interest in protecting federal elections. The fight started October 15, when the DOJ sued California over a list of more than 20,000 registered voters that federal agencies had flagged as likely noncitizens. Prosecutors wanted the state to verify each name or keep those ballots separate from the rest. California refused, disputing both the underlying data and the short deadline it was given. Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said the state made a stunning admission at a hearing a day earlier. According to Essayli, California told the court it does nothing to independently check the citizenship of its voters, and that any ballot already cast by a noncitizen would be counted if the judges did not step in. He said that is why his office asked for the emergency order, arguing that illegal votes dilute legal ones.And so it goes my friends... A free people keeps the means to defend its own, and the Second Amendment is the insurance policy I'm glad we never cancelled. . . My oldest son graduated from West Point, and the other two are still in college. I’d like all three to inherit a country that still knows what it is and still enforces its own rules. The studio always releases the trailer before the feature. Europe’s trailer is playing now, and we still hold the pen on the sequel. A free people keeps the means to defend itself, and the Second Amendment is the insurance policy I’m glad we never canceled.On that somewhat mouth-watering essay I bid you all to have a good day.

Methane emissions from natural wetlands exceeds one-third of global budget. Termites, lakes, oceans, wildfires account for another ten-percent or more. Rice cultivation is between 5-8%. So likely converting wetlands into rice fields or into something the Environmentalists hate brought down methane. Adding humans increased landfill and sewage (now 10-13%). Swapping out millions of bison for cattle is probably a wash. I don't know what Taco Bell's contribution is, but I'm sure its significant.

The top two factions are: Communists and Conservatives. Its the term Conservative that you should question. They want to conserve the status quo of grift, regulatory capture and cranking out Cantillionaires through inside trades and pumping trillions of new debt into the economy. Pick your choice of death: a shotgun blast to the head, or bleeding out from a knife wound. Posted by: Community Notes at October 28, 2026 07:51 AM (NzX/y) 43

Minnesota’s state demographer reports that 84 percent of people of Somali ancestry in the state received Medicaid, SNAP, or cash assistance from 2019 to 2023, though the data capture only about 70 percent of that population.
The standardized difference between Minnesota Somali and U.S. White composite scores is estimated at about 0.99 standard deviations, with a tentative endorsement of roughly 0.99 after a 50% correction for English language familiarity. So actually around 2 standard deviations. Posted by: r hennigantx at October 28, 2026 07:52 AM (/+uur) 46
Blaming the entire Republican Party for the deceit and corruption of a few is a mistake. There are plenty of good Republicans in DC. The SAVE Act did pass the House. The problem is a few fake Republicans in the Senate. Lisa Murkowski just endorsed a Democrat for governor of Alaska. Tillis is gone. Cornyn is gone.
The primaries are about getting rid of bad Republicans. The general is about beating communists. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Look at Brazil.

I'm starting to see what looks like the old Democrat playbook of running a 3rd party candidate in the SC Senate race. Some guy I've never heard of has started running ads touting himself as the right choice over "hand-picked" Darline Graham and the Democrat. I figure they're going to try and siphon enough votes away from those holding their noses to vote for Graham just enough to put Andrews over the line. Of course, every single poll shows them in a "tight race" and running neck and neck. So bring in the 3rd party nobody.

Much of the GOP is pathetic, fair enough. But when it’s general election time, it is absolutely essential to vote for even the scummiest republican because the Dem they’re running against is even worse. The purity tests only apply in primaries. Susan Collins drives me nuts but she voted for Kavanaugh and she’s better by far than the commie sympathizer Jackson.
One exception to this rule might be Murkowski but I believe she labels herself an independent now. Even with her, at the very least she caucuses with the republicans so she helps keep the chamber in the right hands (note: not an endorsement of Thune is a recognition that Schumer is controlled by commies) Posted by: LinusVanPelt at October 28, 2026 08:06 AM (0Jm0d) 69

Impossible. You can't have good candidates if you also have universal suffrage.
ref: Tocqueville, Mill, Mencken, et al Posted by: Community Notes De Tocqueville does not say that. What he did say when he observed the politics in US during his visit is that there were no great political parties in the US at that time but were in the past. Tocqueville's observations are useful in many cases but his view that political parties in his day in the US were transactional comes from a Euro tradition where there was the king's party supporting the aristos and the opposition (that is where he gets his great principled party idea). Think Tories and Whigs in Britain. Mencken was a misanthrope and hardly a systematic political philosopher. Mills had his own issues and was essentially a hot house thinker with little actual contact with the politics of his time. I would recommend reading James Madison (associated works) and John Adams (Defense of the Constitutions of the United States books) instead. Both wrestle with human nature, past American experiences, and placing the US in context among the great debates on politics since ancient Greece.

in the 2-1 decision to let CA cheat, in the trial court the cartel judge is totally not biased.
He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted. So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting. Because his feelz is the law, not the law. And he feelz the browns should be able to vote no matter how many laws say it's illegal for them to vote. You stupids would understand that if you were smart enough to get in to Harvard.

About a couple of bishops complaining about being used by Trump. You can be a deeply flawed person and still be a great leader (e.g. King David). You can be a perfectly nice person and lead people to moral catastrophe. Their Excellencies took Trump to task over immigration. Trump isn't stopping immigration, he's enforcing the laws that we have. I regularly see whiny-ass statements that if you don't support more welfare spending, you're not a good Christian. But nobody is suggesting we let people starve or die. We're talking shades, not colors. But, for Catholics, you cannot vote for a candidate - no matter how "nice" otherwise - who espouses objectively wrong policies like abortion or homosexual marriage, completely contrary to doctrine.

A dictator can 'freeze' normal politics for a time but they all die eventually and politics resumes whether you are discussing Franco, Pinochet, etc. etc. because there is no permanent victory in politics whether communists, etc.
That assumes that the Benevolent Dictator also "freezes" normal politics. Obama's and Biden's Handlers/Auto-Pen, and PDJT each managed to transform the political environment. The former by brute force and the police powers of the state, the latter by a mix of police powers (expelling illegal aliens) pacifying the Western Hemisphere, SoH, and via decentralization and deregulation. In two years, there has been a huge transformation in Babylon DC. Imagine what life would be like with the removal of the tyrannical judges and gross levels of fraud that have bankrupted and demoralized the nation. When the Dictator leaves, they leave a different environment behind. You are talking about placeholders that freeze things for a few years.

Automated license plate readers have become a political flashpoint. No one talks about the dozens of children they’ve rescued.
You can also argue that if the Gov't could intrude into everybody's home, like the CCP does, you could save even more children. The left has used the trope of "even if it saves one child" as an excuse to go after each and every one of our freedoms, especially our 2nd Amendment God-given right of self-protection. Gov't cannot be trusted; Gov't is only interested in its own power.

in the 2-1 decision to let CA cheat, in the trial court the cartel judge is totally not biased.
He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted. So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting. Because his feelz is the law, not the law. And he feelz the browns should be able to vote no matter how many laws say it's illegal for them to vote. You stupids would understand that if you were smart enough to get in to Harvard.

Sales figures seem to support this idea, whether writers like it or not.
Posted by: OrangeEnt ===== People used to read anthologies and genre writers could place decent paying stories in publications at the time whether in Mystery, Sci Fi, or Fantasy. Those have disappeared along with most magazines nowadays. Perhaps they will return, mebbe they will not. And writers who are doing it for a living or even as a side gig are not going to do much with short stories that don't pay as they often take as much if not longer time to polish than a book does. I am aware of the constraints on writers but serialization means inevitably you start getting repetition, regurgitation of past events in other books, and a stacking effect where the challenges have to get greater and greater. That in part is why a fair chunk of serials deal with a military career as they rise in rank (or like Monster Hunter world or Jim Butcher's Dresden series, a career type progression where the threats get greater and greater scaling upwards to "ludicrous speed)".

Contentious senate races juice turnout in the states that have them to the point where they often become 80-90% turnout of the presidential election.

Alberta is not at the point where the majority are ready.
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) ======== Yep. If you had asked the same question in the US colonies after the French and Indian War, the result would probably be even fewer supporting independence from Britain. Took over a decade for repeated insolence and mistreatment by Britain to create enough dissatisfied people to strike out for independence. Carney is leading Canada into a financial implosion as he is destroying existing markets for Canadian goods in the US without an adequate replacement as neither EU nor China want competition for their own economies. Things are going to get much worse economically in Canada until they figure out how to replace the US as a market. The obverse is simply not nearly as big an issue for the US as we are seeing.

The probably unconstitutional law (after the Slaughter decision) allowing judges to fill DA vacancies then would never have come into play absent the disgusting turds of the Senate Leadership and their cowardly cronies in the caucus letting them refuse to recess.

*Except with the cost of self-publishing, they may never see the light of day. (shrug) Posted by: OrangeEnt Wish you well. Lots of readers disagree with me and like series as their time investment is less. But I do see from Correia's blog, that a number of readers want to make sure they can get the whole series rather than be stuck like Game of Thrones dude that simply cannot write the final book in that series for whatever reason. So I think doing all the books in a series before publishing might make sense and it probably makes it easier on continuity errors and other problems that derive from a very long series of books involving substantial amount of time between books.

So I think doing all the books in a series before publishing might make sense and it probably makes it easier on continuity errors and other problems that derive from a very long series of books involving substantial amount of time between books.

He's in a position to actually try and enforce some change.
Only including good pollsters, for instance. That was his mantra and what built up the RCP aggregate as worthwhile. But he includes Baris in his averages, and Baris probably doesn't even poll at all. And Trende's defense of the polling industry has gotten comical at this point. "Just throw completely contradictory results in the average because who knows?" Posted by: TheJamesMadison ======= The problem with polling is that the errors are now correlated systematically making the whole exercise one in reading biased information. And RCP should acknowledge the only use for its average is for direction of change, not validity for the horse race. Posted by: whig at October 28, 2026 09:30 AM (E4rtv) 351

Good morning. Thanks, J.J.
From above, "The fight started October 15, when the DOJ sued California over a list of more than 20,000 registered voters that federal agencies had flagged as likely noncitizens. Prosecutors wanted the state to verify each name or keep those ballots separate from the rest. California refused, disputing both the underlying data and the short deadline it was given." And, from yesterday's blog, Oh My Word: There's Another Form of Rampant Immigration Fraud That No One Could Possibly Have Imagined—Disinformation Expert Ace Where am I going with this? It's complicated but U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, U & T Visa Certifications. On March 30, 2023, the agency began exercising authority to complete U and T visa certifications for certain victims of crimes and trafficking. Strictly through the Federal government's DOL offices, visa certifications issued would be extremely low to negligible. The catch is, there are 29 OSHA-approved State Plans, 22 of which cover both private-sector workers and state and local government. Again, keeping it simple, some examples of State Plans vs. the U&T Visa programs: Continued - Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 28, 2026 10:18 AM (NFX2v) 367
California: Reportedly, while Cal/OSHA operates independently for workplace safety, its parent organization - the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Labor Standards (DLSE), has a long-standing, robust history of issuing U Visa Certifications.
Washington: Within its Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), it has been written that the state actively connects crime and trafficking victims to its Crime Victims Compensation Program and handles processing for qualifying workplace crime protections. Minnesota: Operates a highly organized system under its OSHA-approved State Plan umbrella. The parent agency, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) maintains an active, formal program to evaluate and issue U and T visa certifications. New York: Both Fed and state jurisdictions. The NY State Department of Labor reportedly has a "well established, public protocol to sign supplemental form for immigrant victims of "severe workplace crimes or trafficking detected by state labor investigators." VA and MD with have 'the' state laws that allow for the issuance of U & T visa certifications for labor and workplace violations. Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 28, 2026 10:18 AM (NFX2v) 368
(MD is unique in that no conviction is required so the mere detection and investigation of the workplace crime by state labor officials is enough to warrant signing the visa form(s).)
The US Department of Labor OSHA policy rollout was under the Biden administration and, reportedly, driven by heavy backing from labor unions and immigrant advocacy groups who spent years lobbying for it "to level the playing field." If bad-actor employers could no longer use immigration status as a weapon for retaliation, it would - in theory - make it easier to organize those shops and report occupational S&H violations across industries such as, but not limited to, roofing, agriculture and warehousing. Surely, integrity is built into the Federal programs. But could it be used, especially in some State Plan States, in those rare cases for those immigrant workers such as the Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? Or for union organizing in, say, Virginia? And, of course, for and on voters rolls in many State Plan States. 🤷♀️ Good day Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 28, 2026 10:18 AM (NFX2v) 369

BOING!
Felt very good about being a voting poll observer here yesterday in Israel. No digital voting or ballot reading or punching machines. Simple paper slips with each party's registered acronym on one side. Each polling station has a committee who have to follow strict rules and keep an eye on everything and each other in check, if need be. Observers get to watch each voter go behind a booth, request to see that enough ballot slips remain in their trays and, should there be an objection, it must be registered in a protocol log. Each voter is verified with valid national ID and verification by 2 committee members that they are registered to vote at this station. Envelopes for voting slips are co-signed by 2 committee members before being handed to a voter. The vote counting after 10PM is very strict. Everything is double-verified by all present. Got home at 20 minutes after midnight. Observers in some stations don't get home till 4AM, depending on number of votes in station and vote validation issues. This is what any country with voting standards needs to revert to! Exercise time! Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at October 28, 2026 05:23 AM (Y+4g7) 16

My Aikido school operates out of a rec center attached to an elementary school. When we arrived, we discovered that our parking lot had been taken over by a Trunk or Treat event. Teacher called the county rec department and the answer was "Oh, they'll be done by 0645!" (Our class starts at 7). We ended up parking in a section that had not been taken over and we had a new student show up. So things worked out. Posted by: NR Pax at October 28, 2026 05:38 AM (lXoJ5) 19

I don't think so. I suppose Black Cat day comes before Halloween.
And on another "catty" note, I came downstairs because I couldn't sleep . I finally fell asleep on my back and awoke to Millard, the cat, sleeping on my legs. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 28, 2026 *** Wait until he weighs eight or ten pounds! According to various spots around the 'Net, the purpose of Nat'l Black Cat Day is in part to raise awareness of their low adoption rate as well as to dispel old superstitions. Personally, I think a black cat is usually a good bet as a companion. I've known three well, and they've all been easygoing and adaptable, and possibly smarter than average. Of course they were medium- or long-hairs. The SPCA and shelters here used to have a rule, no black cat adoptions during October. Now they often offer specials on black cats all year 'round.

Anyone who reads Anthropic's public S-1, filed October 26, is treated to a jarring prospectus. Nearly a third of the document - roughly 93 pages - is devoted to risk factors. Anthropic warns that advanced models could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity," exhibit self-preserving behaviors, resist shutdown, manipulate information, or generate outputs resembling blackmail. It also flags weaponization, cyberattacks, recursive self-improvement outrunning safety controls, and the inability to obtain insurance for a catastrophic AI incident.
The financial fine print is nearly as daunting. As we detailed in Monday's S-1 teardown and our earlier look at its leaked prospectus, first-half 2026 revenue surged 14-fold to $16.3 billion, briefly yielding a $974 million Q2 operating profit. Yet over 55 cents of every revenue dollar flows straight back out to compute providers. Anthropic carries an $800 billion mountain of multi-year compute commitments - including $161.2 billion to Broadcom, $114.5 billion to Google (following April's $40 billion pact), $110 billion to AWS, and $120.5 billion to SpaceX - while its fortress governance gives public buyers virtually no voting power. Posted by: SMOD at October 28, 2026 10:15 AM (RHGPo) 73
Senator Elizabeth Warren responded Tuesday with a scathing letter to CEO Dario Amodei, calling the S-1 risks "deeply troubling" and stating they "demand greater scrutiny before they become intertwined with the public capital markets, which could further escalate both public safety and systemic financial risks." Warren gave Amodei until November 3 to answer four pages of questions covering existential-risk controls, hyperscaler partnerships, and the basis for a multi-trillion-dollar valuation.
Posted by: SMOD at October 28, 2026 10:16 AM (RHGPo) 74
I really hate to agree with Liz Warren, but frankly, do you want the financial risks of Anthropic, Open AI, or any other AI company shoved into your retirement plan ? .. especially if retirement isn't that far away

On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed? [I won't be on until late this evening. Photo and mystery click are clues as to where I am and why I'll be late!] Route 66 Turns 100 What's left of it anyway The rise and fall of Route 66 In the 1940s and '50s, Route 66 was one of America's most popular highways, driving business to small towns from Chicago to Santa Monica. But today, the road and its people have been largely forgotten. Ghost towns, empty motels, and abandoned gas stations line its path. Chief correspondent Abby Narishkin grew up along the road. In celebration of its 100th anniversary, she drove down the old route herself to visit the people and businesses still keeping this Americana legacy alive.Video segment at the link *** Keeping "The Mother Road" alive This motel is keeping the history of Route 66 alive with its wigwam rooms U.S. Highway 66, also known as “the Mother Road,” was built in 1926 to connect Chicago to Los Angeles. Historians say Route 66 became a lifeline during the Great Depression, a major corridor during World War Two, and later a symbol of freedom for postwar families traveling west. As the interstate system expanded, it gradually replaced Route 66, leaving many mom-and-pop stops behind. But the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona is one of the businesses still standing along the historic highway. *** “It’s America, it’s amazing, they don’t write songs about I-10, they write songs about Route 66,” Richards said. Richards said fewer places like the Wigwam Motel remain today. “These we’re losing more of these places -- we’re not really gaining them,” Richards said.Video segment at that link too. As for the well known song about Route 66, I'm partial to this version *** The "anti-Route 66"? Route 66’s unsung alternative, with historic inns and misty mountains ![]() Sometimes travelling through the sugar-maple forests of Vermont feels faintly absurd. I was canoeing across a blue-green lake, deep in the Green Mountains, in the pearl glow of sunset. My paddle sang through the water as flutelike birdsong filled the silence. Blue jays whistled. Damselflies hovered. This was prime black bear habitat, but I saw no signs. Instead, a bass breached the surface. Zoom out to a drone’s-eye view — above the water, above the beaver dam, above my lakeshore log cabin at Sterling Ridge Resort in Jeffersonville — and you’d see that there was no one else around *** Five days earlier, in late June, I had flown to Boston, picked up a rental car and driven 150 miles northwest into the Green Mountain State, the mercury nudging 30C [86F], to begin my journey along Route 100, which would eventually end up here. I was chasing the most wholesome road trip possible, one with historic inns, misty mountains and dairy farms reached by slow, radio-static country roads — an anti-Route 66, if you like. It’s easy to find that here, plus hippy-dippy liberalism, fierce small-town identity and an almost suspicious amount of cheese. We all pine to hide in the woods sometimes, and I wanted the jazzy moo of dairy cows, the burble of waterfalls and nowhere much to be. If Vermont is beautiful in summer, I could only imagine how spectacular the state’s sorbet-shaded foliage, abundance of pumpkin farms and explosive mountain light would be in leaf-peeping season.Nice photos at the link.

My birthday is rare. Which makes sense. When I worked in the newborn nursery and NICU we were always busy in August/September from the Christmas and New Year's babies arriving. Also if there was a hurricane in September, we would be busy in June. Storms predict not only dumps of snow or rain, but 9mo later a lot of new babies. I don't have any idea what a slug sandwich is.

All the common days are June-October, implying that people have nothing better to do in the winter months than get it on. And I didn't realize induced or c-section "planned" births were that common. So many people intentionally not having kids on the holidays, or on the 13th of the month. But a big spike in the last two weeks of the year, minus Christmas day, for the tax write-off.

I used to be good friends with a professional chef who worked for a major record producer. He pretty much ate nothing but something called tofu pups. Now, she did also make the food for the rest of his staff, so she did get to make food beyond microwaving fake hot dogs, but it always annoyed her that the guy she actually worked for didnt eat anything other than fake food.

Thanks for the ONT, Doof. Enjoy the show! Relatively productive day, job-search-wise. Interview seemed to go okay, we'll see if I make it to the next round. Couple screening calls for other positions that would also be good. Tomorrow I teach again, a different group at a different school.

And I didn't realize induced or c-section "planned" births were that common. Posted by: mikeski at October 27, 2026 10:16 PM (VHUov) Our 2nd boys birthday was May 28th. Because of a scheduled c-section (due to his big headed brother and father), he was to be delivered a week early. One aunt had a bday of May 20, an uncle, May 22nd. So his Mama chose his birthday as May 21st. They try to do this to make sure their lungs are mature. Now they have better technology and, heck, every baby has a few ultrasounds. In 1984, unless medically needed, insurance didn't pay. So both boys were surprises. I wanted a boy the first time and never set my heart on a girl the second. A healthy baby boy was wonderful and the only thing I wanted both times. To select a holiday or whatever is a bit weird, but I guess I did similar so he didn't share a birthday. Plus his aunt is weird. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 27, 2026 10:53 PM (hzuYO) 145
Worked for many years in the SoCal, Arizona, Utah part of the world. Made the drive on I-40 many times going or coming from back east. The freeway largely followed and replaced Rt. 66. My girlfriend and I once made the detour from Flag up along 66 and then down to Kingman. This was back in the early 90's. I'm sure it was more lively back in the 30's and 40's, but it was deader than dead when we saw it. Lonely and sad. A precursor to every small town bypassed by the modern highways later on.

Re The Office Halloween. Nothing will ever beat the Reno 911 kids' tour of the sheriff's station. Officer Junior mixes it up with a "motherfucker" in detention, apologizes to the kids for the smell of jizz in an empty jail cell, tells an incidental story of how a deputy got electrocuted unlocking a jail cell (fried his belt buckle, which slid down and sliced his testicles off), gives them a lesson on making jailhouse hooch from raisins or tomatoes, advises them on how to avoid getting "assfucked" by some of the bigger fellas, and describes a "circle the wagons" incident that made them bolt the bunks to the wall.

Just re-watched The Man From U.N.C.L.E. film from 2015. No, it's not like the series, and yet it is. The two leads, one dark and American, one blond and Russian, who make a great spy team. Exciting camera work, funny dialog in the right places, some clever plot twists, neat editing with the split-screen scenes -- and it had a fine setup for a sequel that sadly has never been made.
If you'd never seen the show and know nothing about it, the movie makes a great Cold War spy thriller. If you are a long-time fan, the similarities outweigh the big differences. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 27, 2026 11:00 PM (wzUl9) 164

Well, I did some more assembly work on the little Honda generator, and it runs fine! Could not get the ignition module to run on the 12-volt battery-charging output of the generator; maybe the circuit breaker is kaput. But an angle grinder plugged into the 120 volt outlet ran fine. I shut off the fuel valve, and let it run its little carburetor dry. The mended fuel tank does not leak. And I took the muffler off, and checked the spark arrestor. Perfect, it was.

If you are in a nuke war and eat a lot of canned beans you are going to need diapers. We lived 30yrs in FL and are always sort of stocked up. Then le covide and more. We do need bottled water and, by golly, we will have TP. I think there will be some boom booms after the midterms, no matter who wins in Iran. However, I don't see that as the reason.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at October 27, 2026 11:41 PM (XeU6L) Well, it's single-phase AC through a bridge rectifier. But I just realized why it didn't work. The 12 volt output floats; not grounded. Ignition module is grounded. I only connected the (+) wire. Doh! I will re-check it tomorrow. Now I don't know if the 12 volt output will deliver enough juice at cranking speed to fire the ignition. Somehow, I doubt it. But if it will run itself, once started, then I can get away with maybe 8 double-A cells in holders, to provide a couple of amps at 12 volts for the few seconds it takes to crank it up.

It's about 46 au distance now, and they've got a half-assed orbit for it, but high error bars. When they get around to it, which may take a while, they'll turn Hubble and JWST on it, and will get the orbit pinned down. And, it will most likely have a moon(let), which Hubble can easily see, and that will determine the mass. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 28, 2026 12:33 AM (w6EFb) 279

In stores. At work. Luxury cars you could tell because they had ashtrays and sometimes even lighters at four seating positions. Yes kids, that round thing you plug stuff into was once where the cigarette lighter went. And most of us lived.

I just got to reading about the next leap in atomic clock tech -- the optical atomic clock. This will use visible light frequencies rather than microwave frequencies. This will get the precision to 1/10^18 to 1/10^19. At this level, the clocks will not also see changes in tick rate due to the sun and Moon tidal field and the earth's orbital variations, but to tiny shifts in the local mass. Get a heavy rain and the ground gets saturated with water? The additional mass will slow the clocks. High pressure system moves in? The additional mass will show up in tick rate. Magma moving around underneath? They will see it. This is going to open up whole new avenues of geodesy, using just clocks. Time itself.

They're almost of the verge of something profound with these new time precision. At that 10^-18/19 level optical atomic clocks across the globe can act as low frequency gravitational wave detectors. This has profound cosmological purpose. While with light, you can only look back so far, absolute limit somewhere under 400K year limit of cosmic time. The gravitational wave background, roughly analgous to the CMB, can go back to the very beginning. They've already confirmed this "gravitional wave hum" exists, it's just getting all the different signals separated out that is the problem. These clocks will be able to do some of that. This should be able to see an "inflation" signal. And the nature of the waves will shed light on how that worked. I expect we're going to see some amazing cosmological discoveries made.

No hot dog???
******* Um, Doof? A Coney Dog (Michigan) and a Seattle Dog (Washington State) are both hot dogs. Never heard of the Rhode Island "Hot Weiner" but it's some sort of hot dog as well with an unfortunate name. On the rest of the states, I would just want to say that a "tofu wrap" (Oregon, of course) sounds like an abomination. Also, I am surprised that hot dog is not the choice in Illinois as I have had many a "Chicago dog" "dragged through the garden" in the Windy City. Also I looked up Illinois sandwiches and another choice is the "Horseshoe Sandwich." Per Wiki: "The horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich originating in Springfield, Illinois, United States. It consists of thick-sliced toasted bread (often Texas toast), a hamburger patty or other choice of meat, French fries, and cheese sauce."

Route 9W or 9E going up/down the Hudson River in NY, Route 32 for a drive along the Delaware, the Great Smoky Mountains Parkway (Tenn.) and, in my home state of Texas, I live for the drive from Vanderpool to Leakey on Ranch to Market Road 337 (RM 337).

Here's a simple online table for pressure correction to sea level (assuming standard atmosphere). This is all they need to do. Get your elevation, find the offset: https://t.ly/uZStY For me, I used the barometric equation directly to get an offset of 0.88" Hg. And that's been dead-on with the airports nearby. Now, when you've got some dynamic weather going on, you'll get horizontal differences, but in calm fair weather, it will be dead-on the same. You'll not some people don't bother at all, they just leave it at absolute pressure. Others will do some half-assed attempt and make it even worse.

The NWS has some guidelines about thermometer setups. The idea is you want the air temperature, and don't want the effects of sunlight hitting the sensor. So you need shielding from sunlight, but yet you want airflow. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 28, 2026 03:00 AM (w6EFb) 349
My elevation is fairly low, so not too concerned about the deviation. But thanks for the link, publius. Bookmarked!
Posted by: JQ at October 28, 2026 03:03 AM (rdVOm) 350
It varies a good bit, a rough linear approximation is 0.1" Hg per 100'. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 28, 2026 03:05 AM (w6EFb) 351
Neither of my sensors are in direct sunlight. It's just that the south side is so much more exposed that radiant heat from earth and structures is more pronounced. I should move the south sensor outward but would need to construct a sun shield for it.

Posted by: Kindltot at October 27, 2026 07:34 PM (rbvCR) --- They're kind of cute, and just go about their business. My big fear is the skunks in the neighborhood. I was taking a walk and absently rolled past what I took for a black squirrel and then realized my mistake as it turned and took a couple of skips to open up the distance. The deer around here are so tame that a doe on the bike path tried to stare me down rather than run. Weird. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 27, 2026 07:40 PM (ZOv7s) 44

Posted by: Anna Puma H. Beam Piper knew his history better than a lot of history professors. His Future History is loaded with considering past events as projected into the future. Jerry Pournelle who actually met and talked with Piper before Piper's untimely demise had rights to do stories in Piper's TFH universe but quickly figured out along with John Carr that the sheer amount of historical research needed would simply be too much. Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, especially if you like firearms, is a great book to read if you have never read Piper before. Frankly, I like Piper a lot more as an author than Isaac Asimov in the future history business. Piper's characters had a lot more life in them as well as humor than Asimov's.

Walter Koenig, “Chekov” on the original Star Trek, has died. May he rest in peace. I did not know that he was the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, and the family name was originally Königsberg. That makes a third actor of Jewish heritage on the bridge of the USS Enterprise.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 27, 2026 08:17 PM (mmrXZ) It is a combination of operant conditioning, negging, and actual leadership skills in giving tasks to the people competent to do them.

But Trump is a political phenomenon comparable only the Asimov's Mule in derailing Globo Homo. The question for us is what to do when he is no longer president and we have to use these next two years to change the arc for the next decade. Financial rectification of excessive government debt is coming for all the West and we come out least scathed if we have strong domestic productive industries going into the hurricane and that includes continuing energy independence.

Hmmm. ace had the 60 Minutes thread and I had AI give ratings. This was on Variety.
"It’s not surprising to see ratings at “60 Minutes” slump when CBS doesn’t air a strong football game before the start of the show. But the program’s performance on Sunday, which lacked exactly that kind of NFL lead-in, is alarming nonetheless. The fifth episode of this season’s cycle of the venerable CBS newsmagazine drew only 5.64 million viewers, one of the smallest audiences for the program in years, according to data from Nielsen. The show captured a mere 558,000 among viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic coveted most by advertisers in news programming." Meet the Press too had 80% plus of their audience over age 54. Let me check about one more thing. Chat says if people fall asleep, leave the room or whatever, they are still counted. I leave the tv on all the time for noise so these crappy news ratings are even worse. Sweet. Snowflake is inside sleeping on a pillow here in the computer room. Ralphy is resting too.

Posted by: Anna Puma Space Viking was what Pournelle and Carr thought was the most dense distillation of history employed in a short story that meant an incredible act to follow. Carr said as much as much of the burden on the research to write a successor to that story fell to him. Piper's "The Edge of a Knife" short story actually has a character predicting many of the future events that Piper had sketched out for his TFH series as a professor who gets declared insane due to him unwittingly revealing insights to the future in his class.

Posted by: Oldcat at October 27, 2026 08:33 PM (uhVAy) He was, and had talks with Piper. Pournelle was going to write on in the Sword Worlds universe but he had other things he wanted to do instead. Pournelle had a far different voice than Piper, and much harsher view of humanity. The Mote in God's Eye universe was closer, but it was much more rigid. Michael Kurland wrote some Piper pastiches based in part on some fragmentary plotting notes, but it was more of an extension of the notes more than a polished story. Kurland did have a better prose style than Pournelle though. Posted by: Kindltot at October 27, 2026 08:43 PM (rbvCR) 184

It depends on us, and the reaction depends on Trump. Realistically, Congress is broken and has not helped America for decades. Trump has a good Cabinet, but the lower ranks are still filled with Quislings. Judges *Spit*. The Reps can't even pass the SAVE Act. So it is Trump with Executive Actions, and maybe calling the People to help America. I do believe the Military as a whole will stop things if the Left gets out of hand.

If you like the paratime style universe, you might look into getting Michael Kurland's Perchance, which takes the idea of a paraverse, gives it a sort of mathematical underpinning, and posits lots of groups discovering how to move around in it, with the local stand in for the Paratime Police both living as parasites on other thread's inventions, and containing "barbarian" incursions across worlds. Some of whom really are barbarians

Never did get around to Silverberg's expansions of the Asimov stories. Didn't see the need for the expansions, so I passed them by.
He's no longer writing fiction (91 -- he doesn't need to), and I saw part of an interview at some convention from early this year; he looked pretty frail. 91 will do that to you. But for my money he bought his way into Writers' Heaven with Dying Inside and The Book of Skulls. YMMV. There's a Joe Haldeman that never got the press that The Forever War did; it's a mainstream novel called 1968 and it's a terrific piece of work. Again YMMV.

Bunch and Cole screenplays and other TV work list, From wiki.
"Bunch and Cole began writing for television in the late 1970s, eventually selling more than 150 scripts together over the course of their partnership. Working under executive producer Glen A. Larson, the pair contributed two episodes to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1980) and co-wrote the pilot of The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo with Larson. Their other television credits included The Incredible Hulk, Quincy, M.E., Magnum, P.I., B.J. and the Bear, The Rockford Files, Hunter, The A-Team, The Smurfs, and Walker, Texas Ranger. They wrote the A-Team episode "Pure-Dee Poison" (1984) and served as story editors on the supernatural drama Werewolf. Bunch and Cole, who had not previously worked on Battlestar Galactica, were hired as two of three story editors on its sequel series, Galactica 1980.[ According to the pair, they had not sought the position; they said a Universal Television executive threatened to bar them from future work at the studio if they declined the assignment."

Posted by: clarence at October 27, 2026 10:03 PM (LOuD5) Quick HitsNoted True Conservative David French says that the public's revulsion over fraud will cause them to vote for the Democrat Party he supports, despite being so Conservatively Conservative. Once you start looking for blue state fraud, you can't stop finding it. It's everywhere. Pretty famously, HHS shut down 800 hospices and home health agencies in Los Angeles that were suspected of fraud, including billing Medicare but having no patients. Name something more obvious about blue states in 2026: Fraud is everywhere, and everyone knows it. So here's how David French guesses the upcoming elections will end, writing his groveling cuckold newsletter in The New York Times yesterday: "Imagine that it's January 2027 and Democrats hold both chambers of Congress. They've been elected in a wave of public outrage over inflation, the war in Iran, and -- crucially -- public corruption. In fact, a Fox News poll taken shortly before the election showed that 'corruption in government' was the top concern of voters, even greater than inflation." Yes, voters outraged by corruption will punish the Republicans who are causing it, and turn instead to the brave Democrats who stand so passionately committed to eradicating it. Kurt Schlichter decides he wants in on David French's grift. Kurt SchlichterAs you know, I'm a lifelong liberal Democrat myself. I've voted for Kamala Harris six times, three times in the 2024 election alone. But now I am scandalized by the Democrat Party and will do something I have never before done: vote for a Republican. I'm sure that most of you are also Lifelong Liberal Democrats who are feeling the same way. Some Biblical scholarship: Aelfred The GreatNY Governess Kathy Hochul: Jews are sympathetic when they are being blown up and raped by Muslim terrorists, but the moment they fight back, they lose the sympathy of the left. Gov. Kathy Hochul insisted Tuesday that her job governing New York would be "a lot easier" if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lost the high-stakes election in the Jewish state. The Democratic governor, who is also facing a challenge this year, said in an interview with Politico Magazine that Netanyahu's "overreach" in response to the horrific Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack has created issues here in New York. "I went to Israel right after Oct. 7. I saw a lot of pain there. But I actually cautioned the government there, in private conversations, not to overreach," Hochul said."Overreach" = fight the implacable terrorist army that has been trying to exterminate you for generations So suck it up, Buttercups! This poll seems like fake news to me, but... A McLaughlin poll claims that Jewish voters have shifted decisively. Republicans lead Democrats by 31 points among Jewish voters on the congressional ballot, according to a McLaughlin & Associates poll that points to a potential shift among a group that has long favored Democrats. The poll found that 64 percent of Jewish voters backed Republicans for Congress, while 33 percent supported Democrats, pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin wrote in an article published by the firm Monday. The result would mark a major shift from the large margins by which Jewish voters have traditionally favored Democrats, though pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin warned that the sample of Jewish voters was small.The journal "Men and Masculinities" will no longer refer to individuals as being "male." Because this is ClownWorld. Wesley Yang responds to one of the tranny Wachowski brothers' latest claims that there's a "trans genocide" going on and just reading a JK Rowling book contributes to it.

Read an interesting view of Lot's wife: that she was actually being a great mother. Only Lot, the wife, and the two daughters left. But Lot had sons and daughters in laws, maybe grandkids. So Lot's wife was turning back for one last attempt to save her other kids when the nuke hit.
So when Jesus says "Remember Lot's wife" it's a term of praise. That was an interesting thought, to say the least. It was connected with "she was turned into a pillar of salt" and the whole "ye are the salt of the earth" idea from Jesus. Posted by: SimoHayha at October 27, 2026 06:56 PM (IeYnM) 118

Interesting about Jewish voters. Just last month:
Poll (Jewish Voters Research Center) shows two-thirds of U.S. Jewish voters will favor Democrats in November. Despite tensions over Israel and rising antisemitism, respondents made antisemitism their third concern, after affordability and the future of democracy. Israel ranked fifth. they're not stupid - they can recognize that there are literal Nazis in the GOP. For context, this is about 7 percentage points lower than baseline, given the expected partisan fundamentals this year. Jewish supports for Dems has dropped despite the fact that this year is expected to be about 6 percentage points bluer than 2024. Many Republicans, leaders included, are just straight up anti-Semetic or say anti-semetic things all the time. Like Vivek who is running to be my governor, said the other day that an attack on Jews is an attack on capitalism. It’s an insane thing to say, because it’s just a version of the anti-Semitic trope that Jews are the money guys. What is the Republican Party doing to counter Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson,s overt antisemitism?

Then the bookstore didn't have textbooks for 3 weeks and it was downhill from there for me. I don't care that my TA later at a party told me I shouldn't have dropped. I informed him that unless he took the tests for me there was no way I was going to pass. No freaking way.

124 Theory that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by a nuclear bomb and Lot's wife was in the mummified zone.
Posted by: polynikes Pretty much bullshit. Archaeological evidence indicates both identified sites were destroyed by fire and brimstone can still be found around those areas actually. Brave AI "Sulfur nodules, often referred to as brimstone, are found in the Dead Sea basin, specifically in the southwestern region near Masada and the site identified by some researchers as Tall el-Hammam. These nodules are described as golf ball-sized spheres composed of 95-98% pure white monoclinic sulfur, often encased in a black crust or surrounded by burn rings embedded in ash layers. " As usual, geologists based on materialism claim that these nodules just grew based on bacterial action. So you be the judge.

Posted by: Just say no to Speedos at October 27, 2026 10:00 PM (FxINA) After a Woke Judge Releases the Despicable Foreign Invader Who Beheaded the Iwo Jima Statue, the Feds Slap Him With Federal ChargesMarines at Quantico are very proud of their monuments and their museum, and of course when Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano took a sledgehammer to it and beheaded one of the statue Marines, it launched a firestorm of controversy. Then, Chief Judge Petula Metzler of the Prince William County Circuit Court granted Soriano bond at a mere $2,500. WJLA reporter Nick Minock reported Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer request for Soriano, which is probably why Metzler hurried to release Soriano. Northern Virginia authorities have a track record of releasing criminals, even murderers, just to avoid complying with ICE detainer requests. Fortunately, the DOJ was not going to let Soriano's release go unchallenged.The article notes that many corrupt propaganda organizations refer to the illegal alien, who has received a final order of deportation, a "Virginia man," which is a lie, because we all know the custom is to refer to such foreign criminals as "Maryland man." There's a bit more news of woke judges being squashed. The Supreme Court previously sharply limited Lawless Lowly District Court Judges from blocking deportations, noting that immigration courts had the primary jurisdiction over such cases. But lefty federal judges kept insisting that they could ignore the immigration courts and set deportation policy from the benches. The Supreme Court rejected that. Leftwing judges also relied on a Biden-era executive order allowing them to interfere in deportations. Trump nullified that order. So lefties sued, claiming that Trump's executive order should be set aside so that Biden's executive order could continue. The Supreme Court rejected that too. The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to reinstate a Biden-era regulation that allowed immigration judges to suspend certain deportation proceedings. The decision came in an unsigned order and followed a request from immigration groups to block an agreement that eliminated the regulation, according to SCOTUSBlog. ... The federal government and Texas reached an agreement to end the rule as part of a court case earlier this year, prompting immigration groups and three cities with large immigrant populations to bring the challenge.The Federalist has more details: In its unsigned order, the high court rejected an emergency application by three Democrat-led cities to pause a consent judgment between the Justice Department and Texas. As described by SCOTUSblog, the agreement ended a Biden-era regulation that permitted "immigration judges to suspend some deportation proceedings -- when, for example, a crime victim or witness is seeking immigration relief, such as asylum -- while the challengers' appeal in the lower federal courts is ongoing." Texas initially sued to end the rule in a lawsuit against the DOJ, which agreed with the Lone Star State and subsequently requested a federal judge to invalidate it. The agreement to end the regulation was approved by Texas-based Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor, a Bush 43 appointee. Three cities -- Baltimore, Maryland; Columbus, Ohio; and New Haven, Connecticut -- joined the legal battle along with Centro Legal de la Raza, a leftist-funded immigration group, in an attempt to uphold the Biden-era rule. O'Connor rejected their request to do so on the grounds that they lack standing. He more specifically dismissed the cities' argument that "the elimination of the rule would cost them money because their taxpayers are likely to be deported," according to SCOTUSblog. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals also rejected the challengers' emergency request to pause the DOJ and Texas' consent judgment.And more news of woke judges being checked: If you remember, a jury convicted a Somali of many counts of fraud. The woke judge, who looks like Greta Thunberg's younger retard sister, set the jury verdict aside and entered her own verdict: Not Guilty. She argued that the Somali Pirate didn't Knowingly Know what he Doingly Did when he cashed checks obtained by fraud. But an appeals court has set her verdict aside and reinstated the jury verdict.

A unanimous reversal to restore the correct result means the judiciary is hopelessly broken. Or something. I don't know. I don't think so good. But the point is we should abolish the courts. And settle disputes with some good old fashioned greco-roman wrassling. As nude and as gay as possible. Not because I like gay stuff. But because that's what justice requires today: an extra helping of sodomy. If you can't handle all that justice in your orifices, too bad. You gotta get harder.

Elections aren't solving the problem. I guess at some point the Second Amendment comes into play.
Posted by: Huck Follywood ====== Impeachment was debated in the Constitutional Convention in the midst of a famed British impeachment trial (Hastings trial IRRC) which sputtered on and off for years. A substantial minority warned in debate that it was in fact toothless but no one cared enough at that point to make it a sticking point for adoption. Subsequent history shows that is correct and the majority relied in part on the idea that officeholders would not be partisans (all the prominent types held that parties were an anathema to a Republic). And promptly created the first party system when in office. Simply put, party organization of the House and Senate which happened early on, has ossified into judges and Democrat judges where Democrats support their illegality in office. So no correction is possible outside wholesale reorganization of the courts. Posted by: whig at October 27, 2026 05:58 PM (E4rtv) 105

96 colorado doesn't elect judges, but there is a ballot section on "shall judge xyz be retained". I have my ballot filled out except for that bit. All these bad judge stories are making me think I should do cursory research. Of course being in a state that is going bluer every year, its easy to think any replacement would be worse, plus I don't think judges are ever removed, most people just reflexively vote "yes, retain"
Posted by: PaleRider ======= Missouri Plan of nomination and retention elections which nowadays is a recipe for blue judges that use Marxism oppression gauges for rulings rather than the law.

Great news! Clayface is apparently good and a horror movie but Gunn is a leftist subhuman so I can pass.
However, we'll all be able to laugh again! From cosmicbook dot news. The fans who did show up loved Clayface. It earned an A- CinemaScore, debuted with a 95% audience score, and we gave it an 8/10. So what does Gunn follow it with? The People v. Gorilla Grodd, the Jimmy Olsen mockumentary comedy now shooting in Atlanta.

8 of the 24 races I voted on here in Charlotte had a republican running. The other 16 were dem only, unopposed. The GOP doesn't even make an attempt.
Posted by: NCKate Traditional GOPe campaign consultants and party organizations in blue cities are there for patronage, not for actually electing people. One of the justifications was that if the GOP competed in heavily Democrat areas, they might cause Democrats to go to the polls affecting statewide races negatively. So they deserted their own people in such places by refusing to fund GOTV nor supply candidates with any money running there. Starting about 2000 or so, it became an idea that GOP could only win if the race featured boring featureless GOP candidates that did nothing and fought for nothing. That would depress the turnout to party bases only and result in winning! At the time, the GOPe conceded the nation was majority Dem and only this strategy could work with GOP. Thus, much of the past GOP types in Congress before Trump were trained in this system of failure theater like promising to overturn Roe with legislation, secure the borders, and build the dang fence (McVain), by essentially lying to their party base.

Here's the weird thing - during the trial, the judge had complete control and ample opportunity to put all her fingers on the scale of justice. She, no doubt, gave the defense every possible opportunity; to prove Yusuf was not the perpetrator. The jury didn't fucking buy it. That says he was guilty as sin.
The proper course would then be for Yusef to appeal the result of the trial, NOT for the judge to set aside the verdict, which is insane. Posted by: notalawyer at October 27, 2026 06:11 PM (lR2Tk) 130

Despite struggling with homelessness, crime, illegal dumping and a persistent budget deficit, Oakland could soon hand its city councilmembers pay and benefits increases worth as much as $108,000 annually under a ballot measure supported by Mayor Barbara Lee, according to the NY Post. Measure EE would eliminate existing limits on council raises and allow the city's Public Ethics Commission to determine compensation based on salaries in other California jurisdictions, without a specified cap What a paradise Oakland must be.

Posted by: torabora at October 27, 2026 09:11 PM (9Er2c) 60 Minutes Commits Immigration Fraud by Presenting Yet Another Fake Deportation Sob Story60 MinutesSo, what they're talking about is the practice of deporting asylum-claiming immigrants to "safe third countries." Sometimes those safe third countries then evaluate the asylee's claims and determine them to be fake or overblown, and deport them to their country of origin. This is completely permissible in the law: ShipwreckedcrewIn other words: the third countries we send deportable aliens to have their own courts to evaluate asylum claims, and if they find, through their own processes, that these claims are invalid or contrived, they can deport the alien as well. Is leftist 60 Minutes so racist that they would say that Ghana's courts are entirely incompetent and corrupt? Do they not believe that Proud African People can serve as judges? And: is this poor migrant really at risk if he is sent back to Mali? No, not really. His big claim of persecution is.... "I claim I'm gay, so I get to stay." David Strom points out that, before he claimed asylum for being "gay," this father-of-two committed immigration fraud: Of course, our model (non)citizen has a backstory that 60 Minutes carefully downplayed, including the fact that he was deported after having committed immigration fraud. This father of two wonderful children, you see, is "gay," and his whole case for asylum was based on the fact that his homosexuality made him a target.Among this homosexual's complaints: Upon arrest, he was not allowed to call his female wife. It seems to me that of all the "homosexuals" in the world, this married father of two would be among the most equipped to "blend in" with the straights. Diawara has been fighting deportation for 14 years based on a false claim; he got his final deportation order in 2012, and obviously has enough money to live just about anywhere he wants to. He wanted to live here, though, illegally, and after 14 years of delay, he forced an unnecessary deportation. As the Supreme Court said in its ruling on bail for illegal aliens, they are not being detained by the government so much as choosing to stay in government custody rather than departing as ordered. At any time, he could have gone anywhere. This was his choice.Their main "source" for this "story" is an open-borders group funded by almost every hard-left agitprop group in the world. It gets worse: The DHS official "interviewed" by 60 Minutes did extremely well in the debate -- and 60 Minutes did treat this like an adversarial prosecutorial interrogation, not a news report -- so 60 Minutes cut out all the parts where the official exposed the "reporter" as an agenda-slinging propagandist.

Here, I was curious about ratings and asked AI. 60 minutes still draws 6 to 10 million a week. But really, in a country of 343 million or so, it's hardly watercooler.
No news show is... From ChatGPT What stands out - 60 Minutes dominates the weekly newsmagazine category. Its roughly 7.7 million average is more than twice the audience of 20/20 or Dateline. - ABC World News Tonight leads the evening news programs, with approximately 8.4 million viewers per broadcast. - CBS Evening News is a distant third, attracting roughly half ABC's audience. - Sunday political interview programs attract much smaller audiences, generally around 2.5–2.7 million. There's also an interesting contradiction in the 60 Minutes numbers. Its fourth episode attracted just 6.06 million viewers, reportedly its smallest fourth-episode audience in at least 25 years. Yet the show remains a substantial draw compared with its direct competitors. Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 106 years old!

I am so tired of the lies. Thou shalt not bear false witness is not just a suggestion. We have put up with Mary Peltola's ads for months here lying blatantly about both her record and Dan Sullivan's. We have put up with millions of dark money ads from the Lower 48 spouting the same lies and many others. 60 minutes routinely lies about just any old thing that comes down the pike. Liars are the worst kind of fools, trading honesty for an eternity in hell. Would it kill them to tell the truth? Because their lies will obliterate their chances at a decent afterlife, and royally screw up their lives on earth.

"The biggest deportation machine in history," and history includes Operation Wetback (which was a scam and precursor to DACA, but whatever). The "worst of the worst" came from Homan about how ICE operates in choosing who to pursue. Worst of the worst was top of the list, and he always said, "anyone else caught in the dragnet not authorized to be here goes, too". So, Juan, wanted for robbery, runs into his home because ICE is in pursuit and ICE also takes his wife and three kids? Well, 20% were criminals, but we deported them all.

Posted by: Oldcat Nielsen ratings were always somewhat of a fraud and because advertisers back in the day complained about channel switching which made their mid program ads worthless, Nielsen briefly used a people meter on some respondents to actually measure time spent in front of the screen and promptly dropped it due to its destructive impact on advertising. Have no idea what they use nowadays to gauge but the 'diary' recall by paid participants was always sketchy. 50's movies were correct--mass advertising is mostly a scam perpetrated by the media to prop up profits and their co-conspirators buying ads for corporate marketing. Same with political ads. Which is why social media became the big dog and in turn is widespread fakery of numbers (bots, etc.). Ecclesiastes was right, "There is nothing new under the sun".

Trump said frequently that he was deporting everyone. That was his campaign promise. "The biggest deportation machine in history," and history includes Operation Wetback (which was a scam and precursor to DACA, but whatever). The "worst of the worst" came from Homan about how ICE operates in choosing who to pursue. Worst of the worst was top of the list, and he always said, "anyone else caught in the dragnet not authorized to be here goes, too". So, Juan, wanted for robbery, runs into his home because ICE is in pursuit and ICE also takes his wife and three kids? Well, 20% were criminals, but we deported them all.

Speaking of numbers, Harry Enten just putbout a lengthy prognostication of the election. In it he says the GOP gets slammed in the House races and the Senate is up for grabs.
History, he says, is the if polling is wrong and one party outperforms that party tends to outperform on all close races in the various states. Senate races are all basically within the margin of error in six states, so if the GOP candidate outperforms in say, Texas, then that will likely be true in all the close races. So he says the numbers suggest Democrats have a very slight edge, but there is an overwhelming likelihood (90 % plus)one party or the other will emerge with a comfortable edge in the Senate. What is the cause of this? He says the President is unpopular because of, get this, gasoline prices. That could cost us the election, says Enten.

After WWII, his name was mud due to the American First notoriety and it took Jimmy Stewart's film, Spirit of St. Louis to revive his reputation. I seriously doubt Jimmy would have done the film if Lindberg was an actual Not See sympathizer nor would Lindberg be allowed to have a private meal with the Apollo 8 (IRRC) crew just before they orbited the Moon.

Posted by: L - No nic... at October 27, 2026 06:23 PM (NFX2v) DOJ Charges James Comey Under the Espionage Act for Transmitting Classified Information to a Non-Approved SourceThe media, that is. He directed another Anti-Trump Deep State criminal to leak to the media. And then he would claim "I never leaked that to the media," which is a True Lie, because he used a middleman cut-out to actually leak to the media. This is a crime and as you may have heard, No One Is Above The Law.The Trump administration charged former FBI Director James Comey for the third time on Monday, with the latest accusing him of transmitting national defense information and conspiring to transmit national defense information. A grand jury has not indicted Comey on the latest charges, but the case has been playing out under seal since Oct. 5, according to NBC News. Comey's defense attorneys sought to have the charges dismissed last week.More from The Federalist: Prosecutors allege the disgraced former FBI director authorized James Baker, the agency's general counsel at the time, to provide the corporate media outlet with classified national security details. Comey, the DOJ alleges, wanted to "correct misinformation" published the previous day by Reuters. Comey faces charges of violating the Espionage Act by transmitting classified information not authorized receive it -- presumably The Times reporter. In a post Monday evening, the DOJ said it had filed a "waiverless criminal information to toll the statute of limitations as it relates to allegations concerning former FBI Director Comey." The legal avenue enables the Justice Department to charge Comey without initially obtaining a grand jury indictment. "Filing a criminal information to toll the statute of limitations is a widely recognized practice in federal court and has been approved by multiple Circuit Courts of Appeals," the post states, adding that the criminal investigation is ongoing. The DOJ had no further comment Monday evening.Julie Kelly points out that James Baker is at the center of almost every deep state conspiracy. Julie Kelly 🇺🇸In further No One Is Above the Law News: The FBI raided the home of billionaire patron of the gaseous Eric Swalwell. The FBI searched a Beverly Hills mansion in connection to an investigation into former Rep. Eric Swalwell, according to two people familiar with the probe. The home is owned by a Swalwell donor, one of the people said. CNN has reached out to the FBI and a lawyer for Swalwell for comment. Swalwell has been the subject of federal and state investigations. The Democrat resigned from Congress and dropped his gubernatorial bid in April after reporting from CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle detailed allegations of sexual misconduct, including one former staffer who said he had raped her.If you recall, Swalwell hid out at the mansion of a deep state Democrat backer when these rape allegations surfaced. It was this home that was raided. The FBI has raided a Beverly Hills mansion in connection with the investigation into disgraced California politician Eric Swalwell -- and sources told The Post it is linked to a sex worker. The Tuesday raid is believed to have targeted the home of billionaire Stephen Cloobeck, who prominently backed Swalwell's run for governor and even let him stay at his mansion in SoCal. However, when allegations surfaced that former Congressman Swalwell sexually assaulted multiple women including former staffers, Cloobeck changed his mind and booted him out of the house. "I am no longer associated with a man that takes advantage of women," Cloobeck said. "I support women's rights."Uh-huh. The mention of a sex worker being at the core of this probe reminds me of the hotel video of Swalwell getting nasty with a woman on a bed, in the company of a man who looked a lot like Swalwell's married Wang-Man, Reuben Gallego. I definitely can't say there's any connection. I'm just saying it brings that escapade to mind. And now for my favorite song: Howard Jones' "(No One Is) Above the Law."

It's not just the DOJ deciding to do it. The process goes through the grand jury. The grand jury in DC that...refuses every bit of leftist violence and vandalism because fuck Trump. That's who handed out the indictment, not Todd Blanche. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, precisely framed and deadpan with Wes Anderson at October 27, 2026 03:32 PM (jp7Y/) ____ Comey wasn't indicted.

I think it should mean something rather close to the words:
Those who personally spent time with Jeffrey Epstein on a regular basis, especially both after his conviction for pedophilia and who regularly spent time on his private island. But the whole intent of the phrase is to NOT be that. They could say Epstein conspirators, associates, friends, whatever which each is a very specific group of people.

----- And to give you an idea of how *stupid* that idea is, Texans already pay REALLY HIGH property taxes because THERE ISN'T a state income tax.

I think Comey, etc... all of them are pretty safe. And it's not because they're innocent, or untouchable.
It's because the crimes they're guilty of should result in lengthily prison sentences or... if we were a proper country again, death. And to be honest, we're also a bit squeamish about the potential sentencing... even if these shitheads are found guilty. Just look at Hasan's execution and the uproar over all aspects of it.

This case isn't about whether Comey broke the law when leaking. We know he did. He knows he did. His supporters know he did. He goes on late night television and wink wink nudge nudge admits that he did as part of his operation to unseat the elected President of the United States. The case is about whether Comey is a member in good standing of the Class-A, unelected, unaccountable, permanent Federal government which supervises the elected President(s) and who is actually above the law. The case is venued in DC so I don't have high hopes.

Go Waltz -
A fiery confrontation erupted on the United Nations General Assembly floor Tuesday as US Ambassador Mike Waltz traded shouted words with Cuba's foreign minister while exposing the communist regime's illicit wealth. Video obtained by the New York Post captured the heated dispute, which escalated as the ambassador called out 'corrupt Cuban elites' and held up a photo of late dictator Fidel Castro wearing two Rolexes - a luxury estimated at roughly $40,000. Waltz then showed a photo of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel to the crowd. 'According to the regime's own statistics, that would pay for 55 years of an average Cuban wage,' Waltz noted. 'It didn't just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban President, also with a Rolex on.' Stepping away from his seat, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla aggressively approached the podium to brand Waltz a liar. The US envoy fired back without missing a beat: 'Back up!' Addressing the stunned assembly, Waltz added, 'He doesn't like hard truths. You can come and intimidate all you want.' Posted by: beckster at October 27, 2026 04:03 PM (kX27y) 174

Watch carefully. Every frivolous case brought against the left will be used as evidence that each case against anyone on the right will also be frivolous. And for a large part of the population, it will work.
You're not wrong but Comey isn't on the left. He's a Republican. He is left of the far right which makes him a communist leftist!!! /s Obviously Trump ordered the persecution to continue regardless of the legal viability of the charges. I expect the case to eventually collapse just like the last ones. He doesn’t care. Getting a conviction is not the goal. Harassment is the goal. Making his enemies life miserable is the goal. I hate this so much. I despise James Comey and I wish him nothing but ill, and yet this runs smack dab into the intolerable abuses of power (and incompetence) that characterize the orange shit clown regime. So I have to be team Comey, which is just appalling. You're not team Comey. You're team rule of law.

Afternoon.
OT I did my civic duty and early voted today. So I've mentioned this from time to time but I'm one of the (small-L) libertarians here. Been voting pretty consistently LP since 2000 with a few exceptions. GW in 2004, Trump in 2020 and '24. '24 I voted *mostly* R but this is the first year since I turned 18 in '98 where I didn't vote for a single solitary LP candidate (first ever LP vote was for a teacher in my high school running for Congress). This year? Republican all the way down the ballot. That felt weird, man. Anyway, I've done my part. Please, Republican Party, don't be the fuck ups you usually are and sell the country to communists because "Orange Man Bad." I don't want my Senator to be a gay pinko furry.

/// NYC real estate supposed to crater after Mamdani won, due to everyone fleeing to Florida. Whatever happened to that? Posted by: Axing Questions In real estate, location is everything. The lawyer couple were complaining in effect that they could not afford a house in a 'fashionable' part of Manhattan. Living in somewhere like Harlem or Queens never crosses their mind.

Under Biden there were two factions on COVID. One wanted it going forever because it was the perfect graft tool, the other saw the economy was dying.
That divide has been accelerating. I'd say there's three factions, actually. 1- The DSA/commies that are most extreme, think the Dems are weak corporate sellouts, but useful idiots along the way to socialism. 2- Clinton-type "abundance" Democrats that think there is some kind of strong economic, woke, social safety net European model that can be successful, and 3. AWFLs that want social acceptance and vote Dem because they're the good guys on the social issue of the day. They're all retarded, and 2/3rds at least are evil.

Posted by: TeeJ at October 27, 2026 04:48 PM (ix5nG) Oh My Word: There's Another Form of Rampant Immigration Fraud That No One Could Possibly Have ImaginedI'm dumbstruck. The American government issues "U-Visas" to foreigners who are witnesses to crimes and who assist law enforcement in finding the criminals. So immigration fraudsters have been setting up entirely fake-armed robberies, with visa-seeking illegal aliens paying $5,000 to $30,000 to "witness," so that they can then apply for a U-Visa after assisting law enforcement. This is unbelievable. I couldn't even have imagined this kind of crime.Read the whole thing. There are foreign cultures which actually valorize scamming and grifting, especially of those outside their tribe, whom they consider justifiable targets for scamming and fraud. As Karol Markowicz comments: Americans are -- or were -- a high-trust society that just doesn't consider that some people build their lives over cheating and scamming strangers. We need to stop immigration almost entirely. Enough is enough.

"After obtaining the certifications, the purported victims submitted fraudulent U-visa applications to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, prosecutors said."
My take is this guy was mostly scamming the illegals looking to scam the USCIS. The U-Visa has fairly strict requirements, including only certain types of crimes (most of which are sex or "body" crimes like rape, sex trafficking, etc). Armed robbery isn't on that list. You also have to suffer real injury and provide real assistance to the police and prosecutors. How can you do this when the crime was faked? The prosecutor has to approve the U-visa application, and then USCIS reviews it. It's totally possible that a crooked or woke prosecutor was just signing these things willy-nilly and someone at USCIS was doing the same. But I think more likely, this guy's main play was enticing illegals to give him piles of money to set up this scam, and then deliver nothing. So sad.

We need to stop immigration almost entirely. Enough is enough.
======== I've mentioned this a few times, but the lobbying and legislative efforts to get to the 1924 immigration act took about 40 years until the law actually passed under Coolidge. There were signs of immigration being a massive issues in the 1840s. It accelerated over the years, in particular during the Civil War and the early 1900s, with immigrants forming insular ethnic conclaves that refused to assimilate to wider American culture. If we don't get immigration reform in the next couple of years, that won't 'mean that the effort can't come back. It takes a lot of time and a lot of destruction to get the populace and, more importantly, the elected officials on board with cutting immigration down to effectively nothing.

Posted by: Pudinhead at October 27, 2026 02:19 PM (Wp1X1) I read a story a few years ago, that Lennon really wanted to learn this peculiar way that Donovan played the guitar for some song he was working on. Apparently, Lennon had a terrible time learning it, even though they practiced a lot. Anyway, at some point, McCartney wandered over, took a look at how Donovan was playing and picked it up instantly. Then, went off to write a song using it. IIRC, that song was "Blackbird".

there's way too many to simply process through our corrupt judicial system (that would release them) and there's nowhere near enough ICE or other immigration authorities to chase all these assholes down. Posted by: Martini Farmer ================= Even a clean judicial system can't process all this fraud. I have no idea how you do it constitutionally, but we need bulk operations for these bastards.

A few years ago a few people were murdered in an Asian restaurant in Seattle. They were trying to find someone with info about these racist murders, when a few illegals stepped up and gave some information and claimed these visas. Oh what heroes they were, the newspapers and TV news wouldn't show their face because they could be put in danger - until it was found that the people who got visas did the murders to get the visas. Of course then they were forgotten about by the media because you dont want to turn in a democrat cause.

The American government issues "U-Visas" to foreigners who are witnesses to crimes and who assist law enforcement in finding the criminals.
So immigration fraudsters have been setting up entirely fake-armed robberies, with visa-seeking illegal aliens paying $5,000 to $30,000 to "witness," so that they can then apply for a U-Visa after assisting law enforcement.

In one of his documentaries, Dinesh D'Souza said the reason he came to America was India was too corrupt. You have to know someone, and especially in a caste system, it is impossible to be upwardly mobile. And you have to exchange money and deals for anything to happen. America freed him from all that, to pursue what he wanted to do and be purely on merit and pluck.
My interpretation of that is it shows why, despite Indians being highly intelligent and benevolent in general , their economy is stagnant. They have to clean house before they can fix things, and they refuse to do it. We completely shuttered immigration in the 20s with Coolidge. I don't know if that's possible to do again. But we need to do it for at least one generational cycle or two, to stabilize the middle class cultural norms of our currently society that is being lost. Self starters, high trust, entrepreneurial, risk taking, optimistic, and high integrity. It is truly the best and worst of times... as is every generation I think. It's a timeless concept.

When we got stationed in teh Philippines we shipped our car there. Once we got the car, secured US military plates and papers we drove off base for the first time to go to our rental house. No sooner than we crossed $hit river bridge I saw a kid walking with his sister on the side of the road. He was about 10-12. Once he saw us he stopped walking and got ready to toss his sister into the road in front of us. Fortunately for me I was paying attention and missed running over her when he shoved her in front of our car. The kid ran off after I flagged down a local cop and told him what had happened. The cop told me that the kid was looking for a big payout after I hit his sister with our car. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at October 27, 2026 02:51 PM (I43vL) 120

Musical genius versus musically competent, I guess. Posted by: naturalfake ==== Despite all the shit McCartney gets, he was the real melodic composer of the band as well as an excellent musician. On a couple of his solo works, McCartney played all the instruments including drums. There is a reason that McCartney's songs get covered while John's do not. John was interested more in the sound of lyrics sung rather than content and was more open to musical experimentalism than McCartney was. Only a competent guitarist as even he admitted that Paul and Ringo were the true musicians of the Beatles while George was developing at the time. According to George, Paul's criticisms caused him to not develop as a guitar player as fast as he might have done in the Beatles by undermining his confidence in his playing.

Like a legal slave, especially if their beta male husband is ok with them treating them that way, that lets them virtue signal an alternative lifestyle.
But I think we all know that this is less for white women, and more for the first gen immigrant polygamous families already here so they can step out of the shadows. Polygamous families often commit welfare fraud, the first wife is legal and the others get bennies as a "single mom." Legalizing polygamy would legitimate all the pairings, and I assume would eliminate the welfare benefits? Or am I too optimistic? They will probably somehow still stay on the dole.

The polygamy thing may be dead in the water not because anyone is morally aghast, but because it opens the doors for company subsidized benefits.

No sooner than we crossed $hit river bridge I saw a kid walking with his sister on the side of the road. He was about 10-12. Once he saw us he stopped walking and got ready to toss his sister into the road in front of us. Fortunately for me I was paying attention and missed running over her when he shoved her in front of our car.
Yep. Very common scam in the Philippines. Normally it's more organized. They do it with other "relatives" around. After you stop, a dozen or more, "relatives" will surround you, screaming for a payout. The cops in the Philippines are at least as crooked as the cops in Mexico. They'd stop you for nothing and expect a bribe. My Dad's motorcycle was stolen from on base. They lifted the bike right over the nine foot wall. US investigators found the bike, but the new owner was politically connected, so nothing happened. Our house on base was broken into when we were in the house. My parents woke up and yelled at them to get out. They didn't care. My mom leaned out the window and blew a whistle. The Filipino guards used whistles, and they had no problem shooting thieves. That put a fire under their butts and they left quickly. Posted by: bonhomme at October 27, 2026 03:00 PM (mkw2N) 155

Two men have been charged with serious security offenses in Britain after being arrested in connection with the incident last month near RAF Fairford, the air base in England that had been used by the U.S. military to launch strikes on Iran, the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Tuesday. Mohmed Abdulkarim, 24, and Nouman Essghir, 24, both British nationals and London residents, were charged under the 2023 National Security Act.And Maryland Men. Don't forget Maryland Men. I point out again that the media announces that foreign terrorists are Akshually Citizens of the Nations They Plot Against as if that's some Take That, Racists vindication, when in fact what it suggests is that foreign nationals from terror-supporting countries waging generational warfare against the West never shed their loyalties to their true homelands and will always work for the destruction of the enemy nations they embed themselves in.

Abdulkarim was charged with "assisting a foreign intelligence service" in September and "engaging in conduct that was likely to materially assist a foreign intelligence service in carrying out U.K.-related activities." The CPS said Essghir was charged with a national security offense after he "approached or was in the vicinity of a prohibited place and his conduct was for a purpose that he knew, or having regards to other matters known to him ought reasonably to have known, was prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom."

I know I have weird theories and some of them are more humorous than others but here's one for you.
The Brits have had this "Five a Day" campaign about their servings of fruits and vegetables, forever. They all know it. I guess it's as common knowledge as, like, "I'm lovin it". So... I think the campaign is priming them for the REAL five a day (Mecca), which... is not as good for you. Posted by: ... at October 27, 2026 01:28 PM (y49sE) 50

People who cause harassment, alarm or distress to others can receive bans from town centres, anger management courses or unlimited fines Anyone who breaches an Order can be arrested and jailed for up to 2 years Posted by: weft cut-loop --- This just illustrates the innate fascist character that European governments have long had. Fascism is a model cooperation with the government, and it's aspirations. Because it requires government self-control, it's only uncoercive as long as it extends toleration. Europeans have enjoyed non-coercive fascist form of government. It's just that now it wants to make the decision of coercion and punishment. There have never been a barrier it had to cross. It just had to make the decision to clamp down on disagreement. The DSA would bring that form of government to America. Of course, they are going to promise goodies.

69 Moving the B-1 out of RAF Fairford had a bigger impact on US-UK relations that most realize. It was a demonstration that the US has lost confidence in the UK as an ally. This kind of action is where the action is louder because it wasn't accompanied by rhetoric.
The UK failed in ensuring basic security for an ally's military asset. They have been demoted to a status of trust equal to the Afghan Army.

--- We can't even come to terms with the failure that "sexual equality" has been. When it's all about establishing female prominence through law, based on the idea that the existing order is some "patriarchy" which keeps males in charge. The law can't know everything that happened exactly. Including to mete out punishments. So the consistency of an account is how it ascertains a probability of happening. The law-backed female tendency to say "We should be allowed our irrationality" is saying "Ignore the parts of my case that don't makes sense, and punish the other party". Thus, if the "days of irrationality" case for Lucy Craig gains any traction in a forum of law, it says that the standard of proof is not "preponderance of evidence" it's evidence + excuses which might be the case outside what a court traditionally considers evidentiary. When this case fails, as it should, it will witness to "The Patriarchy" for people who already have their bias.

So, Dems are not relying on really bad readings of early voting in states that don't have partisan voter registration. So, they look at the partisan flags in the data in OH and TX and say, "There are more Ds than Rs voting" even though the partisan flag is just which party primary they last voted in. That's not a great measure of overall party makeup of the general election electorate. Yes, early voting analysis can be bad. Democrats are really bad at it.

Not sure how real it was, but I saw a phone-recorded bit from a "Bronx poll watcher" she talked about how the poll workers were waiting around for her to leave for the day before they had secured the votes from the voting machine, and the facilitator at one time threated to get the cops involved.
But she was holding on to the statutes regarding polls securing the votes, and as a watcher she had every right to stay until they removed the votes from the machine and sealed them. So, call the cops, and I'll read the law to them. If the Bronx has to resort to fast-n-loose elections, just think how much fixing might be going on.

I really liked Donovan. The Beatles did as well. He was their hippie flower child prototype.
Posted by: Pudinhead at October 27, 2026 02:19 PM (Wp1X1) I read a story a few years ago, that Lennon really wanted to learn this peculiar way that Donovan played the guitar for some song he was working on. Apparently, Lennon had a terrible time learning it, even though they practiced a lot. Anyway, at some point, McCartney wandered over, took a look at how Donovan was playing and picked it up instantly. Then, went off to write a song using it. IIRC, that song was "Blackbird". Musical genius versus musical competent, I guess. Posted by: naturalfake at October 27, 2026 02:31 PM (YSUhf) 255

Travis picking. Lennon did quite well with it in Julia and Dear Prudence. Posted by: stu-mick-o-sucks at October 27, 2026 02:33 PM (w9Wax) Surprise! Ilhan Nur Said Elmi's Latest Husband-of-Convenience Has a History of, Get This, Massive Serial Fraud and Shady Cash Infusions from Foreign BillionairesI know you didn't see that coming. Did I just blow your minds or what? Andrew Kerr at the Free Beacon:The article notes the huge sums taxpayers pay for this foreign pirate spy's upkeep, including $85,000 per year for housing. See the article for that. That proves that Ilhan Nur Said Elmi is lying about living hand-to-mouth, but I don't think it's news to you that this smelly brother-marrying grifter is lying. I want to focus on her "husband's" fraud and mysterious infusions of foreign cash. Now we come to the many lawsuits her husband has collected, which allege defrauding investors. Reading between the lines: Mynett needed money to pay off the people he'd defrauded so that this wouldn't become a bigger issue, so an Indian billionaire "invested" $11.25 million in his "companies." It's a payoff. It's a fix. To top it off: The "investment" was secured with "collateral" consisting of six of Hunter Biden's "watercolors." I can't back that up. Because I just made that up completely. That's what we in the trade call Corpo Media Fake News. But it wouldn't surprise you, would it? Investors sued Mynett and Hailer's marijuana venture, Badlands, for $1.7 million alleging fraud after Hailer told them in writing he couldn't repay their funds because the Office of Foreign Assets Control (a Treasury Department agency that enforces sanctions against alleged international terrorists) had seized control of its accounts. Their winery, eStCru, stopped paying employees in 2023 and, by February 2024, had just $650 in its bank account as it owed another investor $780,000 to settle a separate fraud allegation. And then Mynett and Hailer struck gold with Byju Raveendran, the Indian billionaire owner of the now-bankrupt educational technology firm Byju. Hailer testified in those bankruptcy proceedings that Rose Lake Capital received two wires from Byju in June 2024, totaling $11.25 million, in connection with a failed deal to acquire the $1.2 billion leveraged loan at the center of the bankruptcy case. Hailer testified that the funds were routed to Rose Lake "from Dubai to Mauritius to the UK to the USA" and that, days later, Byju demanded the return of the funds. It's unclear whether Rose Lake Capital ever returned Byju's $11.25 million. By the end of 2024, Mynett and Hailer's winery and marijuana businesses settled their respective fraud lawsuits with cash settlements, and Rose Lake Capital distributed $213,000 to Mynett, according to records reviewed in April by the Wall Street Journal. One of their investors told the New York Post he was "shocked" Mynett and Hailer obtained the money to settle the lawsuit after claiming financial insolvency just months earlier. Rose Lake Capital's $11.25 million cash infusion in June 2024 may be the nexus of Omar's infamous $30 million accounting error in her 2024 financial disclosure. She first reported last year that her husband's stake in Rose Lake Capital was worth up to $25 million, and his winery was worth up to $5 million at the end of 2024. But in April, Omar filed an amended report revising her and her husband's 2024 net worth down to no more than $65,000 and that his companies were worthless on paper. Her office told the Free Beacon that Mynett's accountant made the elementary accounting error of failing to account for business liabilities when calculating their worth.So how did he extract over $200,000 from a worthless, bankrupted company? And this is interesting: Yesterday I posted an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas ad that claimed that eggs cost so much because we give Israel aid. No mention on the huge amounts of aid we give to, say, Egypt or any other Muslim country.
Cenk Uygur, the uncle of anti-American streamer and Abdul El-Sayed campaign surrogate Hasan Piker, is behind an ad supporting El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race that blames Israel for high grocery prices in the United States and accuses El-Sayed's Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, of dual loyalties. One Jewish leader denounced the spot as a "case study in antisemitism." Rebellion PAC, an outside group that says it's "united in the fight against a rigged system," released the 90-second ad this weekend in collaboration with Uygur's media company The Young Turks. It depicts a couple in a grocery store linking the price of eggs and bananas in the United States to Israel and the war on Iran. "We have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians," the woman says as her husband picks up a carton of eggs. The ad closes with photos of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders of the Jewish state as a narrator says, "Mike Rogers is for they/them, Abdul El-Sayed is for you," mimicking an ad Republicans ran against Kamala Harris in 2024 that highlighted her support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. The ad also notes that Israel has a universal health care system. "We're paying for that, too, probably," the woman featured in the ad says without any basis in fact. Israel levies a progressive health insurance tax on citizens. The system is also covered by general government tax revenues. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

And the butterfly, it doesn’t just float. It operates within the context of the air around it. You have to look at the significance of the passage of time when the bee decides to sting. Because a sting is not just a moment. It is a process. It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that is stinging, and that time is every day. it’s about the capacity of the float and the significance of the sting. (Cackles). It really is."

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 27, 2026 12:29 PM (l3cgK) Respectfully, there is not even that much difference. The purpose is to control the economy so the goodies go into the right pockets, and make sure the people whose pockets get emptied can't complain. Both Fascism (all models) and communism (all models) are economic theories that require massive modification to society to "work". That modification is abusive to the individual and in the end counter productive to the economy as a whole, but theft is rarely employed for the greater good. The only difference between them is what pretext the rulers clamp on to justify their abuse and theft. Posted by: Kindltot at October 27, 2026 12:37 PM (rbvCR) 125

ng the price of eggs and bananas in the United States to Israel and the war on Iran. "We have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians," the woman says as her husband picks up a carton of eggs. The ad closes with photos of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders of the Jewish state as a narrator says, "Mike Rogers is for they/them, Abdul El-Sayed is for you," mimicking an ad Republicans ran against Kamala Harris in 2024 that highlighted her support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries.
The ad also notes that Israel has a universal health care system. "We're paying for that, too, probably," the woman featured in the ad says without any basis in fact. Israel levies a progressive health insurance tax on citizens. The system is also covered by general government tax revenues. == The memo went out ! CAIR is working overtime!

My promise to you today is that I will always float. Always float. Because floating is important. If we don't float, we sink. We sink. We sink. And sinking is bad. It's not good to sink. Our ancestors and the slaves didn't want us to sink. So we float. Like the butterfly. What do you think of when you think of a butterfly? You think of colors. Many colors. And wings. And wings. But back to what I was saying, because child, sometimes I lose my train of thought. And trains are important. They go in tunnels. In tunnels. Without tunnels we would not have the great Lincoln Tunnel. Or that other one through that mountain in France, what's the name of that one. But yes, we float, float through the tunnels like a magic butterfly. And magic is good. Magic is so important. For children. And really aren't the children, what it's all about? The children. When you think about it, the children are the future. Because without children there is no future. No future. No future. So we teach them well. And we let them. Them. THEM. We let THEM lead the way. Because of the beauty they possess. Could you imagine not possessing beauty inside? What that would be like? It would be devastating.

Start from the beginning, if it can be found.
Before co-founding the E Street Group in 2018, Will Hailer & Tim Mynett were veteran Democratic political operatives who built their careers managing high-profile campaigns and fundraising operations. They initially met while working for Keith Ellison, then a U.S. Representative from Minnesota. (Fox News +1) Mynett spent over a decade working as the national finance and political director for Keith Ellison. (Traveling the nation, raising capital) After graduating from the University at Albany in 2003 with a degree in polysci, he spent 15 years in Washington, D.C., working for various progressive political organizations and consulting firms. He specialized in digital strategy, fundraising, and campaign communication. (I'll leave Hailer out for the present.) Mynett and Haile established the political consulting firm E Street Group together in 2018. After Keith Ellison went on to become an attorney general, E Street Group went on to work on the congressional campaigns of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar. She and Mynett married in March 2020.

Prior relationships: Omar and Ahmed Hirsi first married in a faith tradition ceremony in 2002 and separated in 2008.
She legally married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi on February 12, 2009. Omar stated that her relationship with Elmi ended within their faith tradition in 2011. She reconciled and resumed her relationship with Hirsi later in 2011 or 2012, and the couple had their third child together in 2012. (Newsweek +1) Because she did not obtain a civil divorce from Elmi until December 2017, she remained legally married to her second husband for several years after she had already returned to and was living with her first husband. She and Hirsi eventually legally married in January 2018 before divorcing in 2019.

I had a surprising conversation with Gemini today.
It admitted that despite the media controversy was all about "greed" and "irresponsible" behavior of organizations like Bear Sterns "making money out of thin air", 1. the FAS 147 (Financial Accounting Standards) was implemented in November 2007 and in a tight window of 4 months, Bear Sterns and AIG were gone. 2. And yes "swaps" were not an irresponsible fiction by finance companies, but needed like overnight borrowing by a bank from the FED to maintain asset ratios. It also admitted that FAS, which increased stricture to "Mark to Market" may well be described as a "ham-handed measure of the government". I've known about Mark to Market most of this century, but Gemini introduced me to this academic subject called the "Mark to Market Death Spiral". I explained I only suspected that M2M was the culprit, but neve saw a title that made it clear that it was a developed theory like that. What about you? Do any of you remember the phrase "Mark to Market" in the press? Or the theory "Mark to Market Death Spiral"? I don't, and I've read and read based on my suspicions, and I've never seen such a name.

Somalia does use the "born at age 1" system. A newborn is considered one year old at birth, and gains a year with each passing of the Gu' (the main rainy season, roughly April–June), rather than on a calendar New Year. So a child born in August who misses that year's Gu' won't "turn two" until the following April–June, while a child born in May (during Gu') is already Gu'-jir (one year old) immediately.
This makes Somalia an interesting outlier: it shares the inclusive counting principle with East Asian systems, but the year-rollover is tied to the agricultural/rainy season cycle rather than a fixed calendar date. The practice is still observed, particularly among rural and nomadic communities, though urban Somalis increasingly use the Western system for official purposes.

Macron is a weak clown, and his pandering to the rioters, or to be precise...insurrectionists, is part of the problem in a post-modern Europe. Describing the rioters in the most passive and generous terms allows the government response to be passive and accommodating, rather than what is needed to quell the rise of violence as the default tactic in the 3rd World's conquering of France. Students? That's nonsense, and everyone knows it, but calling them students makes this a home-grown revolt, and much more easily dismissed. But when a luxury store in Place Vendôme is attacked, When Galeries Lafayette is looted, when Jewish-owned stores are targeted, when streets are blockaded to prevent law enforcement from responding to organized theft, it is clearly not a protest over the admittedly awful conditions of French public schools. That is the excuse for France's 3rd World denizens to emerge from their banlieues and burn and destroy...to show France that they are ascendant, and they will rule! They fly the flags of their 3rd World sh*thole nations and the flag of the ersatz country of "Palestine" to signal that they are not French...that they are not of the West...that they are there to conquer. The Great Replacement has already occurred, and it isn't as a result of a majority, but rather the single-mindedness of purpose that the invaders demonstrate. They are committed to their goal, and until France and the rest of the West commits to the preservation of Western culture with the same intensity, we will continue to lose.

The riots in France (and elsewhere in Europe) are being funded by the usual rancorous cancerous commies. It's all planned and orchestrated. Go after the money sources, and the riots will disappear or at least be drastically diminished.
We saw how it worked here under T2. Unlike T1, T2 was a much improved new model terminator, who went after the funding and organization of the rent-a-mobs that plagued his first term. The result? Instead of massive BLM and antifa hordes destroying cities during T1, we got a handful of motley geriatrics and pugly lesbians waving No Kinds signs at passing cars.

I have a high school friend who lives in France and has for years. She told me quite some time ago that she was very proud of voting for the first black man to run for President ( she has dual citizenship) , which I thought was a stupid reason to vote for Obama. We haven't discussed politics since then, but I hope France will survive as a "Western" country and although not a RC, I'm asking for the intercession of Joan of Arc to pray for France, and if God minds me doing that or St Joan does they have not told me yet.

without a spark, like a piss-poor economy or a Floyd-type event, paid-for rioters are going to seem criminal to most Americans and not reflective of wide-spread dissatisfaction. The color revolutionists need to build on something, and that something doesn't exist right now. Maybe faculty lounge denizens and extreme Demofascist talk about "Nazi Republicans ending Democracy", but (other than crazy AWFL middle aged white suburban women) not many Americans living in reality really seem to buy that stuff.

>>without a spark, like a piss-poor economy or a Floyd-type event, paid-for rioters are going to seem criminal to most Americans and not reflective of wide-spread dissatisfaction.
The spark is the midterms. Most Americans didn't riot in the streets over the Floyd farce. But it didn't stop paid protesters in BLM/antifa from rioting in protected blue states and cities for over a year causing massive damage and derailing a lot of Trump's agenda. And then after the 2020 election they vanished. Unexpectedly. Regardless of the outcome of the elections the country is clearly very divided and as we've seen over and over the left does not care about facts or reality. They want open borders. They don't care about crime. They want to mutilate abort children. They still think Trump is a pedophile in the service of Putin. They will believe what they are told to believe.

Cut the head off a rat and the body dies. FWIW, Meta shutdown the No Kings facebook page(s?) right before their most recent march, cutting off their established channels for protest day organizing. For example, No Kings likes to use the group of people for multiple protests around town, giving the appearance/narrative that the protests were more well-attended. "Look, 5 protests across the city, each with well over N attendees!" is breathlessly reported by MSM and protest leaders, while knowing the events times were staggered to allow crowd movement to each.

And Trump's control of the executive is a lot stronger now than 6 years ago, and he has practical examples of sending in the National Guard to quell crime, much less riots.

>>Which presumes the administration knows too. What follows from that assumption is, at this point, debatable.
>>But one would hope they've got A Plan™ My hope too. But regardless of what is going with the spy v. spy behind the scenes I think we can all agree the left does not think like we do. They have convinced themselves that we are a cult of fascists, racists, pedophiles and basically everything evil under the sun. They don't process evidence of facts and make rational decisions. Look at Minnesota. The fraud is obvious and out of control and the race for Senate that includes the former Lt Gov who was responsible for finding and prosecuting the fraud is neck and neck. Look who is running NYC. Look at Illinois, California and on and on. You can't reason with communists. They will make up reasons to cause chaos and violence. Lying comes as easy to them as breathing. Anyone who looks objectively at what went on in Ukraine in 2014 knows there was an orchestrated coup, a color revolution. How many people on the left do you know that believe it?

No one remembers this, but the left was saying that the drops in early voting from Democrats in 2024 were indications that they were going to flood the polls on election day and deliver victory to Kamala. Instead, that didn't happen and we got the reality that proportional drops from early voting for Democrats were matched with similar drops in election day voting. Democrats just lost voters.

The reason the media is billing this as "students" and "youth" is unfortunately not merely to protect who it really is.
They are weaponzing the "young" now which could be anyone under 50. The same way they weaponized blacks, women, trans etc. Now they want anyone who feels "young" to have a ready made excuse to go do appalling shit, and to never understand anything beyond their own lens of "oppression".

The government also said it would create 15,000 new higher education spaces for students, cap the size of second-year high school classes at 28 students and make available four billion euros ($4.48 billion) in low-interest loans to renovate dilapidated middle school and high school buildings.

Great Morning Rant!
"They will take Britain by force," Douglas Murray on X (and YouTube). Integration has failed. He was also on the Jesse Watter's show last evening. AI: The show featured a segment breaking down the explosive, widespread riots and civil unrest that have recently expanded from France into Italy (where crowds overran the Colosseum) and Spain. In his analysis, Murray argued that the mainstream narrative completely misreads the situation. He stated that the continent is facing a deep, structural civilizational crisis. His core takeaway was that we are witnessing the beginning of a prolonged, ten-year eruption where Europe will continue sliding downhill because it has allowed in massive populations that actively reject and show hostility toward traditional European values, laws, and historic monuments. And it's coming here someday, much sooner if something happens (political displacement) to Trump etal. Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 27, 2026 12:11 PM (NFX2v) 174

Per Wiki:
"Will Cotton (born 1965 in Melrose, Massachusetts, U.S.) lives and works in New York. The artist belongs to the generation of American painters who have taken the language of figurative style painting in a totally new direction. He works in his studio building giant confectionary-based assemblages, such as gingerbread houses, sweets, cake mountains and chocolate seas, opening the door to the creation of a new reality. Cotton sees his works as utopias that explore the notions of temptation and excess." Posted by: Tuna at October 27, 2026 09:32 AM (lJ0H4) 22

Pixy had an article and this was hilarious and terrifying... COBOL came into being in 1959. Nearly seven decades later, it is still everywhere. According to IBM, COBOL is the foundation for more than 40 percent of online banking systems, supports 80 percent of in-person credit card transactions, and handles 95 percent of ATM transactions. It also underpins many government systems, from Social Security to the IRS to services run by most states. One rough estimate puts the annual cost of COBOL’s inefficiencies to the US GDP at around $105 billion. All those Hollywood people can learn to code.....Cobol.

Dear" Ana". I always have a Christmas because it's based on church attendance, the singing of great Christmas hymns and thankfulness for the birth of Jesus Christ.

Guys, trunk and treats are freaking gay. Every year, my wife drags us to the one at her church. Dumb. Lame. My kids want to trick or treat, at night, with all kinds of fun. Not make a quick circuit of a parking lot.
So we go Real Trick-or-Treating on Halloween, anyway. These Trunk-or-Treats are an answer in search of a question. Besides, for Halloween pre-gaming, I found something better anyway. There's a 500 million year old cavern, and the owner lights it up and hosts a trick-or-treat in it. Much cooler than the trunk of a Kia.

This was how she dressed to "distribute" candy to the neighborhood Trick-or-Treaters ...

The organization, Voter Protection Corps, is combining volunteers who flag election content with attorneys who review posts and help prepare requests for platforms to take them down.
Its September 8 recruitment notice spells out why it wants lawyers involved: “lending legal credibility to formal removal requests.” That creates an organized route from a volunteer flagging a post to an attorney helping seek its removal. The group’s broader plan calls for making monitoring a permanent part of election operations, alongside networks that challenge anticipated claims before voters encounter them.

Oh, and don't forget that Pinochet started out as a leftist military officer. So when he did a coup against Allende the shift was decidedly lateral.

After elections held earlier this month, Brazil looked like it could swing to the right and away from a fourth term for its little communist dictator, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula's opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, achieved far more of the vote than expected. However, neither candidate received enough to avoid a runoff. For many of us here in the United States, it reeked of 2020. An incumbent who trailed in the first round staged a late surge to claim victory after a last-minute judicial intervention extended voting hours, transport disruptions appeared in areas favorable to the eventual winner, and the losing candidate immediately refused to concede while alleging the rules had been changed midstream. Several Spanish-speaking media outlets have quoted Donald Trump as saying it was like something out of the "Joe Biden playbook," but I haven't been able to confirm that quote myself, though he wouldn't be wrong. It's also giving me 2024 Nicolás Maduro vibes.Among some of President Trump's greatest accomplishments has been his ability to somehow inspire and rally the people of Latin America to rally to the cause of true small "d" democratic reform and most shockingly remove or at least neutralize the malign cancerous influence of tyrannical socialism with the election of individuals from Nayib Bukele in El Salvador and Javier Milei in Argentina. Meanwhile, here at home over the past several years the cancer of Socialism seems to have somehow (thank you American Academia primarily) garnered growing and loud support not just from the young and malleable but far too many older folks who should know better yet don't. And as we here have reported, it's not just about the freebies, it's about utterly crushing anyone who opposes the Democrat Left's power-mad delusions of their right to remake American society but destroying it. We've discussed at length the recent mad ravings of fiends like Elissa Slotkin, the low-rent dullard cross between Imelda Marcos and Bloody Mary with a soupçon of Winnie Mandela for flavor. The filthy slag who desires the prosecution/persecution of anyone who works for President Trump as a means of disincentivizing and crippling the careers of anyone seeking a career who also has aspirations to preserve protect and defend the American way of life contra the Democrat/Leftist enterprise to eradicate it. And with that in mind, we have this latest assault on liberty bubbling up from the depths of hell. If anyone had any doubt about the Democratic Party’s plans to shut down the present renaissance in space that is employing millions and generating billions in wealth, you need only listen to Robert Reich, former secretary of labor during the Clinton administration, in this short video of comments he made during a recent podcast. Reich begins his rant by demanding the government “defund” Musk and that SpaceX and Starlink should be “nationalized”, claiming absurdly that this should happen because 75% of Musk’s wealth comes from taxpayers buying Starlink. So what? That’s exactly what freedom and capitalism is about. . . This is pure evil, based on pure envy based on pure hate. It also illustrates the dark times the country will face should the voters choose the Democrat Party in next week’s election. They are not hiding their envy and hate any longer in euphemisms. They are making it very plain, in numerous different venues, that they plan to confiscate the property of conservatives, imprison them, and even shoot them if they get the chance.Well, as in Brazil "the voters" may not actually get to choose a damn thing. Of course it depends on who is considered a voter and more importantly BY WHOM?! Federal prosecutors said Monday that investigators have identified 405 people they believe are not U.S. citizens who voted in Washington state elections, casting more than 1,500 ballots over multiple elections.Multiply that figure many times over in multiple if not every state in the Union and shit is going to get real, real quick. As I've stated many times over, there is no way that Michigan's Dana Nessel, Jocelyn Benson and Wretched Whitmer are not going to do all they can to drag El-Sayed's suicide-belt supported ass over the finish line first. They did it in 2020 with Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants by miraculously tampering with the election to steal the crucial swing state from Trump. Horrid as those harridans were and are, that their crime was not overturned reflects on our equally corrupt judicial system that will not lift a finger if/when it happens again this Tuesday. And speaking of Nessel, apologies in advance for this repulsiveness: Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel had briefly held the line on refusing to back Abdul El-Sayed. Then she announced that Jews had to vote for him even if they all died because some things were more important. “We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told Jewish Democrats. Those “needs of the world” required Jews to vote for Democrats, including presumably El-Sayed, who had made excuses for a Muslim terrorist attack against Jewish children in the preschool of a Michigan Temple. Many Jewish Democrats feel they “must choose between our faith and our party,” she said, and she then argued in favor of choosing faith in the Democrat Party over faith in Judaism.Nessel is a sloppy drunken, self-gassing spokes-courveh for new and improved Zyklon CDEF & G!!!! With Jews like her who needs the Einsatzgruppen or Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. . . or the Spanish Inquisition (thank you and fuck you España!) On that revolting excrement, as well as the sea of detritus comprising the majority of today's links, I nevertheless bid you all to —VOTE EARLY & OFTEN — and . . .have a good day.

Democrat Robert Reich demands SpaceX be nationalized; attacks Musk
Uh.. there is a nationalized space agency: NASA And they can't do shit because they followed all of your advice and went DEI, and forgot their mission, punished achievement and rewarded sloth, waste and bureaucracy with a fat pension for doing nothing but attending meetings around the globe and giving our competitors whatever they wanted included at US Taxpayer cost; became a corporate welfare system, a place to park deadbeats and sinecures, had zero accountability, zero expectations and zero aspirations. The Nationalized space program became so demoralized and neutered that for generations after landing on the moon, all they could do is blow up and crash shuttles, NASA couldn't even return to the ISS and we had to humbly turn to Putin and his gas station with nukes to be the space taxi because the US couldn't even do that anymore. if the goal is to become an embarrassment and shame, then Reich is our Central Planner.

The supporters of Bolsanaro stormed the assembly in Brasilia after the loss in 2021 just as happened in D.C. a little over a year earlier.
A lot of those people were arrested and thrown in jail, just like here. I'm not sure if the Brazilian right is prepared to go up against the state when Lula has Bolsanaro Jr.'s passport taken as soon as the election is over. That's sending a signal they aren't going to play nice if things get out of hand. It's going to be interesting watching how this goes over the next few months, and what comes out about the election and whether or not Flavio can get it annulled (I extremely doubt it).

If the Brazilian military stays in the barracks, our military is not able to change the situation in Brazil. Many of our deployable units are positioning into attack formation off of Iran. We could help the military to right Brazil, but not act on our own. We have no ability as a country to use secret armies or even stealth killers to change this. The CIA action officers have quite uncertain loyalties and questionable effectiveness. Our best Special Forces are prepping for SAR in Iran.

We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival
------ I've been thinking about this retarded statement quite a bit since the horrid shrike said it. 1.) Nobody's needs, not even Muslims', are met by common cause of Americans with Muslims. 2.) Nobody's has ever had a moral imperative to die for their enemies. 3.) America is perhaps unique in the regard that it owes the rest of the world ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Every single alliance this country has was formed because those countries came to us, hat in hand. Not the other way around. They all owe us, and they no longer pay up. The current Iran imbroglio illustrates this neatly. Israel was the only one of our "friends" who showed up to the party.

Yeah, I think we can walk carefully on the Brazil situation.
If evidence comes out of a massive operation to cheat along with the supreme court judge intervening like he did, the Brazilian people might take care of things on their own. Bolsanaro's party & coalition will be in the majority in the next legislature, I believe, so an impeachment and conviction of Lula is not out of the question at some point. They aren't shy about doing it, either. The legislature impeached Presidente Dilma Rousseff and removed her from office in 2016, and she was Lula's 60s communist secretary, and hand-picked successor.

By the same token as what I said above, the problems of Brazil, Italy, France, Britain, Belgium, and so on are their own. Not ours. France is the only country in history we ever owed a damn thing, that debt was paid up with interest, and now they're hostile to us, just like the rest.

Yeah how did bananas become so cheap this year? The price of a bunch has fallen to just over $1
Remember when the Cavendish variety was supposed to be wiped out by the Panama Disease? Apparently the dangerous strain is the TR4 and targeted that one variety, which is the primary one enjoyed in the US. Because of the commercial demand for uniformity, the Cavendish variety is a monoculture propagated as clones making them genetically identical — ergo the ease in how one strain can take out an entire variety. Hopefully, they will return to the Gros Michel ("Big Mike") which tasted better than that dreck in the stores now and avoid a scarcity problem.

------ I've been thinking about this retarded statement quite a bit since the horrid shrike said it. First time I heard it. So exactly what/who is this Authoritative Source of Morality? I mean, this retard is saying that this Moral Authority requires me to die for "The World" which also needs an explanation because I currently live in this "World" and the statement seems contradictory that one part of the world is supposed to die for another part of the world by universal decree of some unidentified moral authority. Could this suicidal self-gasser elaborate a bit?

Biden's playbook is a coloring book. He has no idea how he "won'.
The regime change playbook is what was used here in 2020, in Brazil on Sunday and will be attempted here again after the midterms. There is a worldwide globalist regime change movement that is attacking elections around the world. The tactics change based on local conditions but the goal is always the same, take down nationalist favoring leaders and install socialists/communists. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 27, 2026 08:43 AM (6sN1y) I'm noticing far fewer Aztecs in my town, too. I think some of that is self-deportation. We've had some actual deportations, too. Some of the teachers were crying recently when the cops came to collect kids from the school after their parents got rolled by ICE raids one day. I think that in blood-red areas like this, with full cooperation from locals, a lot of these Aztecs aren't actually self-deporting, but relocating to blue areas to weather the storm. At least it gets them out of our hair for awhile, though. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 27, 2026 08:48 AM (BI5O2) 185

We used to keep some cat food outside in a bowl so the cat didn’t have to come in all the time in the summer, but we had to constantly refill it. Finally noticed that at least one racoon was there a lot - maybe a possum or two at night.
So I came out the back door one afternoon while it was still light out, and there was a big one chowing down. I thought he’d be scared of me like most wild things so I stepped towards him; but he just stood up on his hind legs, hands at his sides, and looked straight at me with a toothy snarl. I could almost hear him saying “you want a piece of me? You want a piece of me?” I just said “ok then the bowl’s yours, don’t mind me” and beat a hasty retreat.

Wise decision. I was standing in my driveway last Friday afternoon around 4 helping the HVAC load some tools into his van when we heard some rustling and weird growling sounds. My yard slopes from east to west and when we came out from behind the van we saw a big fat raccoon come stumbling out of the woods on the east side of the yard and proceed to walk backwards and tumble his way across the yard. He's stop briefly to his and growl at us and the roll over or continue his drunken backwards walk. He was either rabid which is pretty common in raccoons or hammered on something. He eventually fell backwards off the wall on the left side of the yard and disappeared into the woods. The only thing missing was Yakkity Sax.

I don't know if it's possible to stuff ballot boxes in Brazil.
They use an electronic voting system that is standard across the country and is administered by a juridical unit called the Electoral Justice system. The EJS is controlled by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). Their voting machines aren't capable of an internet connection so they'd have to corrupt each machine manually to add/change votes on them. I guess anything is possible, but it's not as easy as marking a bunch of ballots and putting them in the box. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 27, 2026 08:52 AM (6ydKt) 195

Exactly, Salty. This is a global movement not a series of unrelated events. The west was flooded with 3rd world migrants while borders seemed to evaporate at the same time not because of some cosmic coincidence. It's a plan. Trump sealed the borders and stopped the flood in a long weekend. Others could too but they choose not to. The lie and do nothing just like Biden did. This is what globalist groups like the UN and the WEF have been preaching for years. And it requires like minded, far left leaders.

On that story about "What Men Are Good For," the comment section has a long quote from Ayn Rand about feminine women and hero-worship that reads as if it were something from Robert Heinlein:
". . . [Hero-worship] does not mean that there is a romantic or sexual intention in her attitude toward all men; quite the contrary: the higher her view of masculinity, the more severely demanding her standards. It means that she never loses the awareness of her own sexual identity and theirs. It means that a properly feminine woman does not treat men as if she were their pal, sister, mother -- or leader.” Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 27, 2026 08:58 AM (wzUl9) 220

It's probably not a good sign for Democrats that they're sending panicked spammy notes to me (I haven't been a DINO for several years and am now a Republican) saying things like "We must not let this threat happen" from Hakeem Jeffries and Elizabeth Warren about the possibility of Republicans taking control of the entire Congress and asking for money and a vote.
My favorite, though was one sent to my mother saying "We depend upon you, _____(her name) or "Your status has changed _____" Yes, it has . She's been dead since the 1980's and if she were alive wouldn't be voting for Democrats. It made me laugh, though but I expect there wll be lots of dead folks voting.

I also have one of those .177 pellet rifles that's "quiet." Crappy scope on it (I should fix that) but it's a bit unwieldly when sitting. I've used that to zing the raccoons from the back deck.
They're smart little fuckers. They use cover.

179 Raccoons in my experience are really nasty creatures.
Recently read raccoons are significantly reducing the population of invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades. Good. The coons along with other larger animals have adapted to hunt nests and eat the many eggs the burmese bastards lay, and get young ones before they are large enough to wrap around a coon and kill it.

According to an Oct. 14 report from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, a federal bureau within the U.S. Treasury Department that regulates the nation’s banks, the SPLC’s bigot-flagging operations were politically influencing debanking decisions at major financial institutions across the country, including PNC Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and TD Bank.
The 47-page report said the SPLC played a key role in the debanking of, as well as the denial of financial services to, conservative clients wanting to support Christian groups or individuals financially. Posted by: SMOD at October 27, 2026 09:17 AM (RHGPo) 285

194 I don't know if it's possible to stuff ballot boxes in Brazil.
They use an electronic voting system that is standard across the country and is administered by a juridical unit called the Electoral Justice system. The EJS is controlled by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). Their voting machines aren't capable of an internet connection so they'd have to corrupt each machine manually to add/change votes on them. I guess anything is possible, but it's not as easy as marking a bunch of ballots and putting them in the box.

Replaced with gamo whisper because supposed to be da bomb. Junk. Couldn't shoot a tight group or even close. Scope that came with 880 was fine for my younger eyes. Now, in no line trifocals, have to be looking through it just right. If I was made of money I'd put a crossfire II on it but, alas... Posted by: TeeJ at October 27, 2026 09:25 AM Heh. Still have my 45 year old 880 somewhere. Nice little air gun for a kid. Which reminds me that I need to look into replacing the seals on my Powerline 717 pistol.

Trump got elected because of Trump. Musk was awesome for dojng Twitter but Trump beat Harris's ass because he was unafraid to call her on the black indian shit, and putting her cackle at the end of every commercial.
He was also unafraid to take his number one issue, illegals, and play it for all its worth.

Good morning. Thanks, J.J. 🙏
"Reich begins his rant by demanding the government “defund” Musk..." Served as the 22nd U.S. Secretary of Labor from January 22, 1993, to January 10, 1997, during the first term of President Bill Clinton. As per AI, "His tenure was defined by his passionate advocacy for the American working class, a focus on education and job retraining, and his eventual frustration with the administration's pivot toward fiscal conservatism and corporate interests." All in all, he was a socialism pushing little POS with his oft, legally unsupportable warfare on many businesses, and through the union pushing, creative evidence sub-agencies such as OSHA. Believe it or not, he won awards for being one of the most effective Cabinet members of the late 20th century! Reportedly, he spearheaded the FLMA, raised minimum wages, and strengthened the financial health and enforcement capabilities of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ...a Federal agency of the U.S. Labor Department that headed into bankruptcy 25 years later! Speaking of which... Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 27, 2026 10:33 AM (NFX2v) 358
The American Rescue Plan went, in part, to prevent the immediate collapse of the corporation's multiemployer insurance program which was legally projected to go completely bankrupt, thanks to bailing out multi-employers with questionably managed union pensions.
How Biden Inc. phrased it: Congressional Democrats Saved More Than 1,837,500 Pensions, Protected Nearly 11,000 Businesses In part, "WASHINGTON – To date, Congressional Democrats’ historic pension relief in the American Rescue Plan Act has saved 1,837,518 workers’ and retirees’ pensions and protected an estimated 10,933 businesses from being at risk of closing their doors. The multiemployer pension crisis threatened to strip millions of workers and retirees of the pensions they earned, and jeopardized tens of thousands of businesses and jobs." In response, the American Rescue Plan Act created a Special Financial Assistance (SFA) Program to avert the immediate crisis threatening the retirement security of American workers, retirees, and their families. This solution was supported by a diverse group of stakeholders, including the AFL-CIO, AARP, the United States Chamber of Commerce, UPS, and scores of other employers... Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 27, 2026 10:33 AM (NFX2v) 359
And so, thanks to decades of severely underfunded pension benefits - not accidental - and the massive bailouts we're left with another huge trap:
>To help offset the massive price tag of the multiemployer bailout under strict Senate budget reconciliation rules, the ARP allowed corporations running "single-employer plans" to stretch out their underfunding catch-up timelines from 7 years to 15 years. >The ARP did not mandate structural adjustments to how union pension funds calculate liabilities or invest their funds. Critics note this perversely increased the long-term risk of defaults in the single-employer system to score a short-term tax accounting gimmick. >For the first time in history, the federal government used general taxpayer money to cover private, multiemployer pension shortfalls. Financial purists argue this created a "moral hazard" by signaling to underfunded funds that the government will step in and write a check if things get bad enough. --- >Socialist Worker Org: Discussing Sanders in my union March 31, 2016 30 years from Reich to now. It's not only Europe. Good day Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 27, 2026 10:33 AM (NFX2v) 360

The 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR display (up from 8.3 inches) moves on from the IPS technology of the last-gen device to adopt OLED. That means dapper blacks and a much higher peak brightness—1,200 nits versus just 500 nits for the previous mini. It can also manage 1-nit minimum brightness so as not to sear your retinas in a dark room. There will also be a nano-textured matte display option.
I don't know about you guys, but when I'm thinking about OLED it's the dapper blacks that immediately impress me the most. There's nothing like a well dressed color to make a display more classy. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 27, 2026 04:34 AM (6ydKt) 11

It also acts as a force multiplier for an unintelligent, unfocused project lead. Similarly: mikeski mentioned zombie Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord on the ONT, who had written this matrix: I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

What's the best laptop to buy off Amazon? Posted by: 6eyes at October 27, 2026 05:32 AM (n/le7) I'm not Pixy, but I'll take a stab at it. What are you looking to do with your laptop? That question will help answer your question as there are different laptops made for different purposes and the more purposes you have for it, the more expensive it will be. A good all-arounder for internet browsing, video watching, emails, word processors, and other light tasks is an Apple Macbook Neo or Air, but if you would rather have Windows instead of MacOs that would make a difference. For Windows; HP, Dell and Lenovo all make perfectly fine laptops in various configurations and pricing, and a lot of them are available on Amazon. Microsoft Surface laptops are also generally well-rounded, well-made, laptops but they aren't cheap. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 27, 2026 06:11 AM (6ydKt) 42

The Sandpipers recorded on A & M Records -- Herb Alpert's label, named for its two founders, Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. They signed a lot of very good-to-great acts: The Carpenters, Burt Bacharach, Stealers Wheel, Captain and Tennille, and Quincy Jones were just a few. It was once the world's largest independent record company.
The first albums I ever bought were Tijuana Brass albums. On the record liner inside, A & M would list other artists on their label with little pics of their album covers.

Hmm. I wrote some COBOL code and a lot of Fortran in my day. It was all wiped out by Y2K conversions. But even if I wanted to help with maintain it, I don't know how long I'll be around.

I dreamed I made a quick visit before work hours to my old office, the one I had from '02-'18. It seemed much larger with so much of the furniture removed. One bookcase remained, and I scored a few things, like two early (pre-movie) paperbacks of From Russia With Love and a book on aerobics I didn't have. Faculty and grad students were coming into the room as I prepared to leave, and I had an explanation ready -- but nobody seemed to notice me, as if I were a ghost. I slid out unchallenged.
Down the stairs (wider than in reality) I went, and showed my haul to a co-worker. Somehow the FRWL books had morphed into just one, a tattered copy of Thunderball, my least favorite Bond novel. Then I woke up. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 27, 2026 06:25 AM (wzUl9) 53

I didn't feel like going through that captcha process. Is the thrust of the article that there are no programmers who are really familiar with the language, in order to deal with the millions of lines of COBOL code which are still in use?
The companies and institutions could hire lots of new American programmers, *teach them what they need to know*, and put them to work . . . but they'll probably hire more Indians to do their usual slipshod, slapdash work, and things will get worse.

Wolfus,
I think it shows a good deal of promise that Linda is open to moving to Missouri. I think you could find a few very acceptable areas to live in there. Plus, as you have said, you can get a much nicer house if the two of you are joining together in the process. I wish you lots of luck going forward. Keep us updated on your search!

When I took my certificate in programming and analysis, the school trained its students in COBOL. Never used it in the field, though.
The instructor had told us that if you could write a coherent sentence or paragraph in English, you could probably be taught to write a functional COBOL program. Before going after that certification, I'd been an English major as an undergrad and my master's was in library science. COBOL was easier to pick up than I'd thought it would be. I'd think if they really want the programmers, they could train them to work in the language. How hard maintaining those systems would be probably depends on how well the documentation had been kept up. Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 27, 2026 06:51 AM (q3u5l) 72

Joplin, MO, looks like it would suit me, but it may be too small for her: She wants a zoo, a university so she can attend lectures, some museums, etc. I want less traffic and fewer people in general.

30 11 I wonder if that song is played on loop at Guantanamo Bay... Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 27, 2026 04:35 AM (l3cgK) Guantanamo Bay reminded me of a fascinating story in HA yesterday; Cuba’s government has effectively collapsed without a fight. Oh they still mostly control Havana and what’s left of the armed forces, but besides that most functions have stopped. Food distribution and ration cards? Just stopped. Army and police have no fuel for transport and no electricity like everyone else, so the few that still show up for work do very little. But there’s still no organized opposition because the people have no power, no food, no communications. Everything in Cuba is simply collapsing in slow motion, and everyone capable of doing something to stop it has left. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 27, 2026 06:53 AM (fYoho) 74

@72/Wolfus: "... She wants a zoo, a university so she can attend lectures, some museums, etc. I want less traffic and fewer people in general."
She is urban. You are rural. What you need is a small community 20 miles outside of a larger one so she's within easy driving distance of all the things she likes, while you're insulated from all the things you don't.

@Wolfus - A suggestion before I dash out the door - Maybe take a look at Liberty, MO. It is (or was) basically on the north-east corner just outside Kansas City Missouri. Far enough away to still feel small-ish, but you had all of KCMO and KCK within an hour's drive.
Please note: My data is 24 years out of date, KCMO may have expanded a lot since then, and Liberty may not be what it once was. I liked it, nice little town, considered moving there from where I was in KCMO near Gladstone. Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant, a Moron behind enemy lines at October 27, 2026 06:59 AM (O7YUW) 78

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 27, 2026 06:52 AM (wzUl9) My two cents. If you want that in Missouri, moove to the Kansas City area. I would suggest Warrensburg or Sedalia. Posted by: tubal at October 27, 2026 06:59 AM (Gqar8) 79
Wolfus,
There are a couple of colleges in and not too far from Joplin -- whether they host lectures I don't know. Closest zoo I know of is probably Wichita, about 2-3 hours away. You would have The Book Guy's shop for quite a few of your used book needs. If you wind up there, let me know; I'm a little over an hour from there and get into town from time to time.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5a 16" IPS WUXGA Display 16GB Memory 512GB Storage - AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 - https://tinyurl.com/2tcve697 It's only 16 GB RAM and 512GB SSD but at $948 with a new processor it's not bad. -- Dell 16" FHD+ Touchscreen Business Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 250, 32GB DDR5, 2TB Storage (1TB SSD+1TB Docking Station Set) This one has an older Ryzen processor, about two years old, but the 32GB + 1TB and and extra 1TB with docking station for $1099 is a pretty good deal. - https://tinyurl.com/mvsyj7bm Those, or something similar, are good for the price and what you're getting in today's market. The prices would go up if you want an OLED display or a discrete GPU for better gaming/AI.
