Go/no-go was Go. Clock hasn't started yet. T-10 is terminal count. Automated system takes over when the start.
They can stop it if they have to, but it's harder to restart, they have to cycle back to T - 10M, I think, and can only do that so many times.

Some of that's Trump hate.
A lot of that is the notion that the 'special' people were off limits in war. A king might be captured and subject to some humiliation, but unless there was some bad blood involved, he'd be sworn to serve the victor rather than killed outright. There are exceptions (see most of the Old Testament, as God doesn't seem concerned with status).
What Trump and Israel have shown is that unspoken rule no longer applies. If anyone causes enough trouble to justify war, we'll start by killing the decision makers who caused the problem. And it would seem that targets like the ayatollahs are less command and control than those who give ideological support for the enemy's cause.
In the event of US Civil War 2.0 that is likely to include the entire 'expert' class. And they are just smart enough to have figured that out.

Imagine it is mid-January 1942 and US has already killed Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Rommel, Manstein, and every field marshal. The Kriegsmarine has been sunk, and the Luftwaffe wiped out. Our aircraft dominate the skies so completely over Germany that they can't even fire flak against the B-17s.
Our casualties include some mid-air collisions and an incident were an inexperienced Allied pilot shot down three of our fighters, but the pilots were rescued and are now back in the fight.

I was 6yrs old when I found out the South lost the Civil War. So this is similar mentality.
We were on a trip to DC, in the back of my parents Cadillac. [This was almost Civil War times, Morons and 'ettes, or the early'60's] The AC had two plastic things on each end of the back window.
Bro and I had our Rebel and Yankee plastic warriors and I was, of course, a Rebel. I'd say, "Start the war!" and we'd fight and I'd win.
My father spoke up while driving and informed me the South lost. Really? I was crushed and my brother was thrilled. It took a while to accept this crushing defeat but I eventually did.
It did not help that in Gatlinburg, TN we were drafted into the Confederate Army and rode a train. My brother got a grey uniform and wore it everywhere when we got home.
I was too young to be bothered by him, as his main problem was being carsick on every trip, which was gross.

It wasn't the fun time pinball machine.
It was the rapey pinball machine.
I am almost ashamed that I don't know which Pinball Machine she was raped on in that Movie.
Which is odd, because there should have been a callout or two during that rape scene.

Bombing cannot win a war. But it does shape the battlespace for success for the ground forces. Whether those ground forces are military troops, or locals set to finally overthrow the last of the regime remains to be seen. At some point, somebody somewhere needs to walk into what remains of the IRGC HQs and say, "We are now in charge."

No specific named pinball machine is identified in the 1988 film The Accused, where Jodie Foster plays Sarah Tobias, who is gang-raped on a generic pinball machine in a bar's game room.
The scene uses a standard pinball machine (with artwork on the headboard/backglass showing a scantily clad woman in a basketball hoop theme), but it has no branded title or model name mentioned in the movie, credits, or production details. The prop was chosen to replace an original script idea of a pool table for legal reasons.
The film is a dramatization inspired by a real 1983 case but altered for the story

IF they approached the speed of light, time would have "slowed down" on earth, I think. Or sped up for the travelers ... relativity and all that stuff. But getting to that speed requires more and more power, infinite power to actually reach the speed of life (as I recall the theory). But SciFi has to ignore much of real science I suppose.

ITs a reenactment of a court case in which a trashy woman went to a bar, got drunk as hell then acted like she wanted every man there to chain her like an Only Fans girl then got upset when they took her up on the offer.
This is not to defend the men: she said "no" and that's when you lay off and leave her alone. They raped her and no matter how she was behaving, you don't do that. But she acted like the rake she stomped on was unthinkable when it hit her face.

It took about a year of protests and ...other stuff for Carter, France and the rest of the idiots to remove the Shah. Israel estimated 2-3 years for "regime change". I think this was after the original 12 day War. I've seen the reports from people inside Iran, Basiji/IRGC checkpoints abandoned and manned by rag tag motly crews of overweight arabs and youths from who know where. Not regulars. So, the bombing and decapitations is just the beginning. May not take a year.

Reconciliation means only a majority vote needed in the Senate but precludes due to the Byrd rule, adding on other non budgetary items like most of the SAVE act.
House is shaky on the majority but the special election for Marjorie Traitor Greene's seat is April 7th and the GOP is favored to win that one last time I checked. Dems are likely to gain a seat in NJ that was Jackie Sherrill's (D) seat. Then the other two vacancies don't matter much as LaMalfa (R) seat won't be filled until August.
217 Republicans, 1 Independent that caucuses with the GOP, and 214 Democrats. 3 vacancies with one Dem and one GOP seat likely to added by mid April. And one possible expulsion of a Dem for Ethics depending on the Dems as it takes 2/3rds to expel.

Having never seen the movie, I looked it up. According to Brave AI, "the machine had a headboard depicting a scantily clad woman half-plopped in a basketball hoop," which "does not correspond to a known, commercially released pinball machine." Further, "It is widely believed that the machine used in the film was a custom-built prop created specifically for the production. This was likely done to achieve the specific visual required for the scene and to avoid any potential legal issues associated with using a real machine, especially given the film's sensitive subject matter and its basis on a real-life incident (which originally involved a pool table)."

That's my one concern, too. You probably can't get the fanatics to surrender. By the end of the day, someone has to kill all of them. And while there are rumors that Israel's been working on the 'security forces' it seems to me like we've been mostly bombing launchers and supplies. I have no idea if it's true, but I saw somewhere recently that Iran has ~4 or 5k KIA, which doesn't seem like much given the size of the country (the breakdown on IRGC specifically was something like 20%, which doesn't seem like enough if we're serious about giving the currently unarmed Iranians the opportunity to overthrow them).

History never stands still. Nations that were once great decline, nations that were never great rise, and you have religion, culture, wealth, resources, and linguistic cleavages that make a one world government a fantasy only fools would consider possible.
As mentioned above, NATO existed to repel Soviet invasion of Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact was Soviet response to build in defensive space and to enable resource stripping of its bloc. Neither are relevant today except NATO is still around.
After NATO, the US went on a spree with all sorts of new treaties like SEATO (SE Asia Treaty Organization), ANZUS (at least until New Zealand decided our nuclear ships were declasse), CENTO aka Baghdad Pact centered on the Middle East anchored by Turkey. That world is dead.

Lloyd, China has a significant stockpile of petroleum, and no moron politicians who drain it for short term political game like the Crypt Keeper Biden. If they actually went to War for Taiwan, one would assume that they would be expecting to be fucked for the next 6 months to a year economically and would have prepared accordingly, but absent that war footing, they're going to have a hell of a time keeping their population in line throughout the running of energy austerity measures

Iran is not Iraq. Iraq was a colonial construct with zero common history. It's a mish-mash of Kurds and two bunches of Arabs who hate each other.
Iran is a cohesive nation with a sophisticated and ancient civilization that was hijacked by bearded whackos with the help of Jimmy Carter.

If they are not replaced by Pahlavi or some currently non-existent civilian alternative, do you think the IRGC will give up its support of terrorism in the region and against the US?
Do you think China will not help rebuild Iran, in exchange for tons of absurdly cheap oil?
Do you think Eurocrats will not help in exchange for less cheap oil?
Do you think Democrats will not help in exchange for votes, election interference, and virtue signaling points?
In such a scenario, how has the war, which began in 1979, been "won"?
There will merely be a delay of 10, maybe 20, years during which the IRGC rebuilds and rearms, and then it starts all over again.

If we quit sending them billions to support terror, they will have trouble getting money.

They only have cheap oil for sale because of our sanctions. And they won't have a free hand, any more than the current Venezuelan government does.
Do you think Eurocrats will not help in exchange for less cheap oil?
They have no money or means to rebuild anything either.

Very possible. Likely a groyper and/or mASSIE fan.
And ignoring the elephant in the room which is enough enriched uranium to make 10-11 nuclear weapons--first one in about a week if the enough centrifuges still exist somewhere. Those plus missiles and like horseshoes, you only have to get close with a nuke for a nightmare scenario.
Whether the mullahs regime dies is up to the Iranian people but we simply cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. Their attack everyone around them including allies like Oman and Qatar indicates a basic derangement in their war strategy made into nightmare fuel with nukes.

Any PLA troops that reach Taiwan will be either corpses or trying to surrender.
There is no way China can pull off a landing over rougher seas and multiple times farther than the English Channel in the face of Taiwan and Japan. The Japs have just moved long-range anti-ship missiles and SAMs to cover Taiwan.
Their sub fleet will chew the Chicoms up as well.

There was at least one big tribe on the move that was stomped so hard it went back to where it started and has remained there ever since. The Helvetii. Never heard of them?

Project Hail Mary Is #Based?
I saw it Tuesday night. I realized that was the last night to see it on a premium screen, because Super Mario Bros. would take al the premium screens Wednesday.
I'll review it below. (In short: It's good, worth seeing in the theaters.) The movie isn't political, but the creators are pitching it low-key as a conservative-friendly movie. First of all, the writer of the novel the movie is based on, Andy Weir, actually went on Critical Drinker for almost an hour. The Critical Drinker is hated and persona non grata with progressives, so when Weir decided he would ignore the #Deplatforming order on Critical Drinker, he was making a statement. Not only did he #Platform Critical Drinker, but he trashed Fake Star Trek in much the same way as a conservative pop culture critic would."I forgot who it was--I wish I could remember who it was who said it, some analyst--he said something like, 'All modern science fiction TV shows and movies have been heavily influenced by the original Star Trek--except for the current batch of Star Trek shows,'" Weir noted. "I'm Gen X, so my sci-fi was like original series Star Trek reruns and Lost in Space reruns. And there wasn't really much in the way of [new] sci-fi that was airing--where people are off in space doing cool things--until we got to [The Next Generation]." After discussing the fate of Starfleet Academy and Jordan suggesting that Paramount should simply decanonize all modern Star Trek, Weir offered something of a rebuttal while also revealing that he had attempted to pitch a Trek series of his own. "You're a little more severe than I am--I'll give you my opinion, and I'm just a consumer. I like Strange New Worlds. I think it's pretty good. I didn't hate Enterprise. I thought it was kind of weird. Lower Decks, I thought, was entertaining and fun. All the others, they can go," Weir said. "And here's another thing: I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount, and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to [executive producer Alex Kurtzman]," the writer continued. "I don't like a lot of the new Trek. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy. But they didn't accept my pitch, so, you know, fuck 'em."He was forced to apologize for this -- conservatives also shouldn't court controversy or alienate potential ticket-buyers when they're promoting their movies, either -- but we all heard it. The Truth Is Out There now. In another soft pitch to conservatives, star Ryan Gosling introduced the movie at a screening, he declared, "It's not [fans'] job to keep theaters open, it's our job to make things that make it worth coming out." That may seem obvious, but it's only conservative cultural critics who've been saying it. The left thinks we should show up for their Gay Illegal Alien Antifa Movies just to show our support for favored minorities. Former Amazon executive Tom Price -- who greenlighted this movie -- writes in the NYT that maybe Hollywood should learn a lesson from Project Hail Mary's success and make movies which are -- get this -- broadly entertaining rather than filled with divisive and yet childlike political propaganda.
'Project Hail Mary' Is Fun. Maybe That's All It Takes.I actually wrote that he rejected divisive political messaging before I read the actual article. But he said it! I was only thinking he'd softly imply it.
By Roy Price
Mr. Price is the chief executive of International Art Machine, an entertainment studio, and was previously the head of Amazon Studios.
"Project Hail Mary" opened last weekend to more than $80 million at the domestic box office, the biggest opening for a nonfranchise, nonsequel film since "Oppenheimer" in 2023. For all the fretting about the decline of movie theaters, people apparently know where their local theater is just as long as they're given films they want to go and see. It's also the first major theatrical success for Amazon MGM Studios, which formed in 2023. (Despite my former association with Amazon, I don't enjoy any benefit from the film's success.) It's not just a one-off hit, either -- the domestic box office in general in 2026 is up a robust 20 percent from the year before, driven by hits like the mid-December releases "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "The Housemaid," along with the year's "Scream 7," "Wuthering Heights" and others. A possible reason for this rebound? Movies are starting to feel fun again. Eras change. Vibes, as they say, shift. In 1969, the low-budget counterculture road movie "Easy Rider" was the fourth-biggest box office hit -- edged out for third place by the low-budget, X-rated "Midnight Cowboy." By contrast, "Paint Your Wagon," a big-budget, star-driven musical, tanked. That was the end of an era: Musicals were essentially over and the cinematic 1970s had begun, one year early. We've had other eras since -- the blockbusters of the 1980s, the Sundance generation of the 1990s. But the most recent era, which started in the wake of Donald Trump's election in 2016 and went into overdrive after 2020, was one in which political and social messaging were what seemed to matter most in Hollywood.
It can't be a coincidence that Ryan Gosling is echoing this line, minus the overt criticism of progressive propaganda. This feels like a coordinated message. In Price's case, he has nothing to gain from Project Hail Mary's success. I guess he had no points in the project. But many in Hollywood have recognized that the industry is now in a state of dire existential crisis and they need to get their heads out of their stinky asses ASAP or the whole rotten house is going to collapse. His interest here is about the general viability of the so-called "entertainment" industry.
Sex, erotic thrillers and humor were on the outs. Romantic comedies essentially disappeared. From 2012 to 2016, roughly 67 comedy films with budgets over $5 million were released a year on average. From 2017 to 2023 (excluding the Covid year of 2020), that average dropped by a third, to some 45 comedies a year. It was an era when you could make "Nomadland" -- a best picture Oscar winner in 2021 -- but championing the ribaldry of a film like "Bridesmaids" seemed suddenly out of the question. The Dionysian elements of popular entertainment -- irreverence, sexual frankness and broad, even scatological humor -- were cast aside as the industry sought to correct historic wrongs and resist current ones. An unmistakable censoriousness and fear of saying or doing the wrong thing seemed to settle over the creative process. Cultural and political considerations played an outsize role -- not only in what movies got made, but in how success for these movies was defined. What didn't seem to matter as much? Making sure that audiences were filling seats.
There was an old rule that actual movie stars observed: "One for the studio, one for me." In other words, one broadly entertaining movie likely to make a good amount of money, and then one more personal and "arty" project which probably wouldn't make money but would boost the star's prestige. For ten years, Hollywood's rule has been "one for me, and another one for me, and oh how about another one for me, and this one for me, and this one for me." Yes, they made Marvel and other superhero movies during this period, but those were among the only broadly-entertaining movies they made -- everything else was overt, mentally-impaired hardcore woke propaganda. And then, of course, even the stupid superhero movies started pushing braindead woke propaganda as well, and people stopped seeing those. The "star" of the upcoming Supergirl movie just decided to alienate the mostly-male audience for superhero movies and announce that she is a pre-emptive victim (TM) of internet bullying. You see, Basement Internet Babies cannot stand the thought of a Stronk Female playing... Supergirl.
Some might object that comedy in particular waned in that era because the genre, in the words of the industry, "doesn't travel," meaning it lacks international appeal. But the international appeal of comedy didn't suddenly change in 2017. Hollywood's tastes did. That era might finally be ending. Hollywood loves box-office data, and the recent data suggests that there are two paths forward for the industry. One path is the prestige message films that dominated the most recent Oscars, exemplified by this year's best picture winner, "One Battle After Another" (although that movie, with its chase scenes and stoner jokes, had a crowd-pleasing element). The other path is represented by eight-cylinder entertainment like "Project Hail Mary" and "The Housemaid" -- as well as pulpy films like "Weapons" and "Sinners" (which had its political notions, but you could enjoy it for the music and vampires). If this new era of fun has a figurehead, it's the actress Sydney Sweeney, who almost single-handedly revived the romantic comedy with "Anyone but You" and the erotic thriller with "The Housemaid," two genres that 10 years ago had been cinematically left for dead.
Hollywood was built on entertainment. A big part of what makes entertaining movies work is that they engage audiences in a way that feels contemporary but would be completely recognizable to Billy Wilder or Frank Capra. These films spring from the belief that movies matter in and of themselves -- and not just as a means to influence society. The question is not whether Hollywood should make serious or socially conscious films -- it should, and it will. But the success of "Project Hail Mary" and other recent films reminds us that in our new era, whatever it will be called, people appear to be responding to fun.
...and the audience just left the building. Gotta get your stars to stop talking like this. https://t.co/EH4lGxVVz5

At first I thought Ace was still talking about the SCOTUS court future ruling today. It may take a Hail Mary for justice to rule for once. It could happen!
I'm going to add to my ever growing prayers. At this rate I will soon be one of those nuns who take a vow of silence and pray all day (my husband would like this part). The Carmelites.
Here they have bee hives and sell honey and jam. Markle wants to be like this but never shuts up and flits around. I once wanted to be a nun but was Presbyterian. I watched a movie or something. I also wanted to be Nelly Bly and Anne of Green Gables as I was busy.
I have my own version of peace here when my husband lets me out of my cell every morning. I then flit around a bit.

$14 million bucks of gross and stupid but Hollywood has devolved so much in 25 years, it looked like Shakespeare.
No gays, no trannies, no messages, Drew Barrymore looked cute and BJ Betty was cute and kind of funny. Shakespeare.

They've had a little glitch with Artemis II, just as I was expecting. It's a range issue with the flight termination system communications or some crap. This is the self-destruct system that blows up the rocket if it goes out of control.
In the you-can't-make-it-up category, they've sent some guy out to the VAB to look for an old piece of Shuttle hardware they are referring to as "heritage hardware" they think might help fix things.
As it is, range safety is no-go until this FTS problem is fixed.

See, it's ok to have a "message" in a movie (even if I disagree with it, because I can, you know, disagree with it). But the message has to be subordinate to making the movie. Entertain the audience, and if you can also make them think, that's a bonus.
But there's a word for media that puts political messaging ahead of the art: propaganda.

I went because I saw reviews that it was one of the few "family" movies being made. Not a kids movie, but one every age could actually enjoy watching.
I'd give it a B+, worth seeing, but maybe a little over praised. No real politics that I could discern.

We ARE better, but not immune to that. Sometimes the guys at the Daily Wire (especially Klavan), and sometimes Morrissey talking to Toto are close to saying we HAVE to go to conservative made movies. Mark Judge does too. And note, in general I like all those. But there are just too many new books and movies I am not interested in.

And of course it is a shame that Milly is a toxic airhead.
Part of the romance of the movies is falling in love just a little bit with the women as you put yourself in that universe, and that is not possible when you couldn't even stand to be in the same room with them. These people build their careers around being more attractive than average, and then they run their mouths and ruin it.

Sorry to be a tiresome pedant, but childlike implies the sweeter, innocent nature of children, while childish is negative. If I'm reading this correctly, childish is the fitting word here.
Childlike and childish both relate to children but have opposite connotations: childlike is positive, highlighting innocence, wonder, and sincerity, while childish is negative, denoting immature, petulant, or irrational behavior. Childlike refers to admired traits, whereas childish describes unwanted behaviors like tantrums or self-centeredness.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.

K2-18b is a *possible*, possible, "hycean" planet. Could also be a super earth or mini-Neptune.
Hycean means hydrogen atmosphere but with a water ocean. These could support life.
This would be critters, bacteria and so forth, not likely big flora and fauna. But who the hell knows. Our sample of life in the universe consists of 1 data point.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).
That only leaves a maximum of 4 years to implement the solution, assuming our best scientists even understand it.

The movie I'm particularly interesting seeing is " A Great Awakening" about he 18th century evangelist George Whitfield and his friendship with Benjamin Franklin. Whitfield was a powerful preacher and Franklin was not an orthodox believer. He was interested in using his paper to promote Whitfield however. " Sight and Sound" does biblically based shows in the PA Dutch region and also has put out movies of their show:

I'm not sure about that. It was a worldwide coalition so, since whites make up less than 10% of the worldwide population, they were over-represented on the team - as expected since they are among the high tech countries. I can only think of three women on the team, offhand, the head lady, the lady astronaut, and the one who fucked up a measurement and caused an issue.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Also, he says no way England will do anything about anything... and makes sure to stress that any of their participation in our "250 Celebration" has been completely planned a very long time ago, so don't blame me...

If you can read beyond the newspaper articles and click-bait web sites, astronomers are pretty honest about how much uncertainty is in these data.
It is real, in the sense that they are doing real analysis (of, for example, the spectrum of a planet’s atmosphere, the mass of the planet, its approximate size, and thus an approximate density) with real and useful results, but there are many possible interpretations of those results.
Sky & Telescope appears to be a pretty good reporter on this things.

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took, or if the ship was moving at anything close to the speed of light, or what. They did show a character who remained on earth appearing maybe 10-15 years older, but it seems like she should have been much older.
The fuel they use is derived from the astrophages themselves so maybe there's some implied Magic Science going on here.

Not to ruffle too many feathers, but the whole western superhero tradition is sort of lame and gay. "Oh look at me and how tall my high horse is, I'm gonna go defeat all the villians but make sure to capture them all alive and leave them tied up in front of the precinct house".
It's a type of conflict for sheltered first worlders with no experience with real fighting and tends to be alarmingly self-centered from the hero/reader-insert standpoint.
The good stuff never loses sight of that and uses it as a source of plot tension, but if you aren't careful it's a short skip and a hop from Batman to the total ethical shitshow of Dr. Who.

Computer calculations are making it possible to make absolutely gigantic optical telescopes by, rather than building gigantic telescopes that would be subject to collapse, but by building lots of smaller telescopes and treating them as a single lens.
Besides gravity, another of the limitations on ground-based astronomy has been turbulence in the atmosphere, which makes resolutions beyond a certain point useless. But it is now possible to measure that turbulence in real-time and so apply corrections in order to attain greater clarity on the ground.

And not carrying a movie alone. Bringing out heroes and villains people barely heard of isn't a great move. A Booster Gold series? Ughhh. And I watched most of the superhero cartoons in the 90's and have never heard of Black Adam...

Nahh, Clint is a fine actor and a good musician (Jazz I think?) but singing "I Talk To The Trees" sounds like Clint Eastwood singing as Clint Eastwood.

That's pretty good. But they've jacked up the refreshments prices. It's about $20 for two large sodas and a large popcorn (with refills).
I've noticed a lot of the repertory places around here are offering ridiculously cheap tickets. They don't make much money off those anyway, I guess. (Interestingly, the refreshment prices are way cheaper than the big chains, too.)

For things that they can do spectral analysis on, the certainty that these are planets is very high. There have been enough observations across different types of measurements with enough predictability of what future measurements will show, that the alternative explanations have to get weirder and weirder to explain them as something other than a planet.
Then again, “the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.”

I gotta admit...I don't even arrive at the theater until marquee time. The big chains have 15 minutes of "pre-show content" at a minimum. AMC does 20.
The little places will do about 10. Arrive at marquee time, park, get tix, get popcorn, go to the bathroom...get there just in time to get spoiled for an upcoming movie.

Even if his ship traveled at near lightspeed, it would take a minimum of 13 year to get there, then it would take a minimum of 13 years to send the signal back to Earth (radio signal powerful enough to be received back on Earth).
That only leaves a maximum of 4 years to implement the solution, assuming our best scientists even understand it.

That's not exactly the problem in the movie. The world will lose half it's population in 30 years due to starvation caused by the dimming sun and all the wars that will be fought in those 30 years over food because of course the countries of the world will lie cheat and steal to survive. All of the stars in our immediate vicinity except Tau Ceti are experiencing the dimming. Don't want to spoil how they were able to accelerate the ship fast enough to make the mission viable, it's a major plot point and possibly a plot hole. Also a bit ironic.

The funniest part - Starfleet Academy doesn't suck because it is woke, it sucks because it is poorly acted, directed, scripted, etc. They have an alien the barfs glitter. A gay Klingon. A female Jem hadar. A hologram that acts like it is six years old. A Vulcan bully. A guy in a wheelchair. They use modern slang and curses.
The wokeness isn't the problem as much as the utter lack of original thinking, stories, characters, AND a complete inability to stick with the canon. If you want to have someone be a bully, Klingon works better. If you want to have someone in a wheelchair, make it a fish alien with no legs. Want someone to be gay? Make it the Vulcan - they always seemed a bit gay. You can do what want, just don't find the lamest possible way to do it. or the "subversive" way.
Star trek was always about adult people dealing with adult situations. Or, at worst, adult people dealing with absurd and childish situations. It was never about children dealing with childish situations. In other words:
"Shut Up Wesely!"

The Nancy Grace Roman telescope will be able to direct image some of the larger (gas giant) exoplanets in the near neighborhood. That will pretty much confirm, yep, these are planets.
And to be really technical the current official IAU definition of "planet" applies only to our solar system. But we know what we mean by planet, whether here or around another star.

I have not watched it but the clips and reviews I saw, it looks like some of the plots were kind of interesting. Most of the first few shows had decent ideas. But the execution looks absolutely awful and the characters a strange combination of forgettable and repelling. And the last two episodes are incomprehensibly bad plotting.

Could be sunspots, but then it wouldn't have to obey the rules of gravity governing the speed and distance of an orbit. Matter in orbit that isn't essentially a planet would have the dip have a more gradual edge than is usually seen.
Another method that can be used is to look at shifts in the spectral lines as the star wobbles due to the planet tugging on it.

Pretty much yeah. Passed the time helped calm the cattle. It didn't matter how great you were, it was better than sitting around in silence.
One of my favorite singing bits in a TV show was Justified, season 2. The evil murderous mom of a clan of hill folk did a great job (like pretty much everyone else) and there's a scene where the family is having a picnic/barbecue. They all start singing and get mom to sing along. She's a terrible singer but nobody cared because it was about the family and the song and being together, not about perfection. They loved mom, they loved singing, they loved the family, who cares if she's not an opera singer.
We need more of that. Everyone is terrified to sing in public now, or anywhere, because they all feel like they have to be professional quality. Singing used to be everywhere, we sang as part of life. Now we delegate it all to professionals.

The expression goes back at least to the 1930s, when it was used publicly by Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley, two former members of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Four Horsemen. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a Hail Mary pass gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass, typically of the "alley-oop" variety, attempted at the end of a half when a team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play, implying that it would take a miracle for the play to succeed. For more than 40 years, use of the term was largely confined to Notre Dame and other Catholic universities.

there was much handwaving in the movie about how much time this took"
IF they approached the speed of light, time would have "slowed down" on earth, I think. Or sped up for the travelers ... relativity and all that stuff. But getting to that speed requires more and more power, infinite power to actually reach the speed of life (as I recall the theory). But SciFi has to ignore much of real science I suppose.

There are now about 6000 "confirmed exoplanets" and I was looking at just what criteria "confirms" it.
It takes multiple observations with at least two different techniques, like radial velocity and transit methods.
The probability these are not "planets" as we think of them orbiting their host star is very low. It looks, quacks, and swims like a duck.

Hence the name of the movie and mission. The mission has probes that can be sent home with progress reports using the same propulsion method. Won't spoil the rest. But yes the time crunch and attainable acceleration are the major plot holes. The suspension of disbelief was enough to let me enjoy the movie, I only started really thinking about them in my car afterwards.

I genuinely enjoyed Sinners , but it was very clear the movie was very anti-white at basically every level.
The creator was clearly a racist.
It was also nowhere near an Oscar worthy movie, it was just a horror movie that punched above its weight. But DEI is what matters most to these people.
A white director or writer and this thing would have not gotten a single nom.
My wife made me watch this with her. It was a mid vampire movie. For me, any movie where you can k*ll the vampires rather than f*ck them, is a net positive. I thought it was..ok. Honestly Dusk til Dawn was way better and I f**king hate Jerg Clooners and I still watch it every time it's on.
When i heard it got an Oscar nomination, i blurted out...it's a f**king vampire movie. Why??

Supreme Court Appears "Skeptical" of Trump's Completely-Correct Arguments on Birthright Citizenship
Plus: Trump to Sign EO Cracking Down on Illegal Mail-In Voting
Of course. Republicans nominate liberals to the Supreme Court, recommended by the fake conservatives of the Federalist Society.
Of course the liberal woman and libertarian sissy are defecting, as usual.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens. Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship "rewards illegal immigration" and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported. Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to grant citizenship to "all persons born" in the U.S., regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett said the 19th-century debates over citizenship focused on newborns, not their parents' legal status. "In none of the debates are parents discussed," Gorsuch said.
So she's already gone -- she's stating that she already knows exactly what the 14th Amendment means.
Barrett said the 14th Amendment's framers declared a "new type of American citizenship. ... They don't focus on the parents. They focus on the child."
Justice Elena Kagan told Sauer that he was seeking a major revision in longstanding law. "Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time," she said. Because of this, she said, why "accept this revisionist history?" ... Sauer argued in response that this understanding of birthright citizenship had been wrong from the beginning. He said the citizenship rule did not extend to the children of immigrants and visitors who were "subject to a foreign power," as those people did not have "allegiance" to the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts was also skeptical, saying, "It's a new world, but it is the same Constitution."And there you go. The Grim Troika again. You can listen to live arguments here, if you can take it. Go to the right sidebar and scroll down to Wednesday's arguments. (I can't link it directly.) Trump is ready to sign another EO, which our corrupt liberal Supreme Court will probably strike down because they don't want to stop Democrats from openly stealing elections.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday cracking down on mail-in voting across the country, the Daily Caller learned first. The executive order will require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state with the Social Security Administration's help, according to a fact sheet shared with the Caller. The presidential action will also require that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) only send absentee ballots to those on each state's approved mail-in ballot list. Ballots will now have specific secure envelopes, with unique barcodes for tracking, the order mandates. States will be provided with their revised list of confirmed voters no less than 60 days before each federal election under the order.
The executive order also tells the U.S. Attorney General to prioritize investigating and prosecuting anyone accused of sending ballots to ineligible voters, the Caller learned. States that disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action.
... The action comes as the U.S. Senate continues to debate the SAVE America Act. Under the legislation, voters would be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and ID, states would be required to clean up their voter rolls and approved reasons for mail-in ballots would be restricted.

"In the warped world of the radical left, being subject to criminal prosecution is now the same thing as the “allegiance” required for birthright citizenship.
Jackson laid out a convoluted hypothetical involving a trip to Japan.
Her argument? If she steals a wallet in Tokyo and gets arrested, she is suddenly “owing allegiance” to the Japanese sovereign.
“If I steal someone’s wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It’s allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?” Jackson posited. “So there’s this relationship based on even though I’m a temporary traveler… I’m still locally owing allegiance in that sense.”"

The odds of any Supreme Court in the 21st century -- short of a wet-dream Court of five Clarence Thomases and four Sam Alitos -- ruling against birthright citizenship are .... zero-point-zero. Maybe less than that.

IF the baby is considered a citizen, it's a minor, so.......
It goes with the parents when they're deported. The child can come back when it's 18 as an adult citizen. No family riding the coattails.
But I still think the child shouldn't be a citizen from birth just because.

My impression is that subsequent court cases built off that ruling, extending the error of the interpretation of the 14th. Clearly the legislature understood by the 1920s law regarding American Indians they needed to pass a law clarifying this topic. I am unaware of any further legislative action agreeing to universal birthright citizenship. It seems it all came from the Courts reading of the 14th, meaning the legislature will not be able to just pass a new law, because a law cannot override an amendment. By all rights, the 1920s law should have been unconstitutional, because it assumed they were not citizens even though they were most certainly born here.

But in the 18th century, if you were born in a place you existed in that place, likely for all your life. Crossing the Atlantic was dangerous, time consuming and expensive. It was just a wholly different issue.
Today we have Chinese flying to CA (or Mariana Islands) and becoming citizens. They can now vote. *Their kids can be citizens too* So can their grandkids,etc. What can not go on forever can not go on forever. This either ends at the SCOTUS, or in the future when 1,000,000 chinese nationals with US citizenship take over our elections and country.

But here's the thing, if anytime you go to another country you are "subject to their jurisdiction", why would that be something that needs to be specified?
That phrase is simply being carried along as a reference to its meaning before the 14th amendment.

It goes with the parents when they're deported. The child can come back when it's 18 as an adult citizen. No family riding the coattails.
But I still think the child shouldn't be a citizen from birth just because.

Who is gonna raise these kids in the USA? Serious question. These illegal births are generally poor migrants with no roots in the USA. If we send the parents packing, then who is gonna raise the kids? Sure, adoption is an option, but I'll guarantee that "poor brown child of illegals" doesn't rank high on adoptive parents' wish lists.

It's a way to backdoor pressure the judges to "meet the public's expectations" which themselves have now been set by the media...
As for the case...children are minors...they can't be subject to the jurisdiction...only their parents can. It would have been an interesting question, and maybe it was asked, if biological parents birth the child here, and then abandon it to the adoption system, could that child solely have citizenship. As in, as long as the parents go home and stay home in their previous country, they could have a baby to grow here (as long as the baby was adopted by US parents)...they themselves just get no bennies ever from the baby's birth location...it's like the reverse of Hollywood taking babies from overseas, but overseas giving them here...

What bugs me is why did SCOTUS take the case if they are so skeptical? They could have punted and let stand the lower court rulings that said anyone born here is a citizen no matter what but they did not do that and chose to take the case.
I suspect they are going to try and twist the language of the 14th amendment into something bizarre.

Crazy story out of Nepal:
Trekking company owners, helicopter operators, hospital executives, and mountain guides have all been caught in a dangerous scam. The guides put baking soda in the tourist's food. This gives the poisoned tourist severe gastric distress. The guides and medical teams then pressure them to evacuate by an expensive ride via helicopter to the local hospital. The hospital then falsely identifies the gastric distress as altitude sickness. Everybody profits at the expense of the tourist.

"The Artemis II mission crew contains four people — including one woman and one Black man, both of whom will be the first on a lunar mission. But NASA hasn't been talking about these milestones much.
Language celebrating this diversity has largely disappeared from NASA's website and rhetoric since Trump took office. He signed an executive order directing federal agencies to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The first Black astronaut to travel into space was Guion Bluford. He flew on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. Since then, there have been other notable Black people in space, such as Mae Jemison or Leland Melvin. But these names aren't nearly as established in American folklore as moon walkers Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin from the 1960s.
The homogeneity of the Astronaut Corps - all white, Christian men, married with children, jet test piloting experience - was seen at the time as hallmark of the exclusivity of the program."

I'm shocked. I expected the Roberts court to twist itself into a pretzel over this one.
Don't be shocked until we get the ruling. We will likely get exactly what we expect from this group.
There were moments where it felt like ACB, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh were trying desperately to grasp for any thread of a legitimate argument for the EO. The fixation on “domicile” and exactly what that means and whether it’s relevant to the QP was exhausting.
As long as the Roberts court can touch the bases of “Unitary executive theory”, “national security”, and “history”- there’s nothing they can’t justify.
Will they overturn a 150-year precedent to completely destroy the lives of newborn babies? Yes, probably. They will find a way to do it. Anything great and positive and magnanimous about America - they will find a way to kill it, without going through the necessary amendment-process. They will *think* and *interpret* it out of existence. I expect nothing but the worst from them.

The amendment reaffirmed and clarified the nature of citizenship, it didn't create a new category. And it's all about the parents. Their status determines the status of the child. There isn't any other means to do that.

That's funny from a group of people who criticize the idea of originalism constantly. There, they argue: "Who can tell what a 200-year-old text really means?"
But it doesn't say "except diplomats and envoys". In that case, you could argue "it means what it says", but to find out what it says, you have to under stand the 19th century reading of "subject to the jurisdiction".
Newborns, born in America are born on American soil. But in what sense are they "subject to the jurisdiction"? They'll get arrested for DUIs? Not sure what crime even infants can commit, unless it's misgendering their brother who feels really more like a sister.

The problem is with the FTS system (flight termination, the self-destruct system if the rocket goes out of control).
From what I just understood they've sent somebody to the VAB to fetch a piece of "legacy hardware" from the Shuttle days they hope to be able to use to fix something.

See Calvin's case as to what that means--Calvin's Case 7 Coke Report 1a, 77 ER 377 where the argument turns on whether Calvin who was a subject of King James of Scotland during Elizabeth's reign suddenly became a English citizen after James ascended the throne.

Sorry, they're not saying "legacy hardware", it's "heritage hardware". Heritage hardware... Okay.
So, the FTS isn't working, and they've sent some guy to rummage around the cavernous VAB looking for some piece of old equipment they're supposed to still have lying around.

This is very, very ugly. Adopting children is a great option and it should be something we strongly support in our quest to end abortion. An adopted child has the exact same standing as a biological child. The birth certificate for an adopted child looks no different than a birth certificate for biological children. ACB may be a wild card, but her children are her children, there is nothing illegal about them.

The 14th is a good example of how exuberance should not be the propulsion behind Constitutional amendments.
Hudson confused the enumerated powers which limited the ways that the federal government could interfere with you, with its complement of when the federal government starts insisting to the state that you have this newly found right, on the basis that our rights are not numerable.

The New York Times Shrieks About the 1% Recividivism Rate for Pardoned J6 Protesters, But Continues to Support the Release of Hardened Criminals with 30%+ Recidivisim Rates
From David Strom, we must re-carcerate the J6 protesters.
But we should also allow Iryna Zarutska's butcher to keep killing women until he's all "murdered out." Strom is amused/angry that the NYT has suddenly discovered a zeal for punishment by incarceration -- but only for conservative political prisoners.
Maybe it was an April Fool's joke? The New York Times, which is deeply upset that Trump is arresting rapists, pedophiles, and sex traffickers to deport, wants you to know that the people Trump pardoned over January 6th infractions are on a crime spree. Crime spree. Apparently, of the more than 1200 people he has pardoned, 12 have been arrested for a crime since their pardon.Twelve people. Obviously, I want any of these people who committed a crime to get the appropriate punishment, and I wish I could say the same thing about New York Times readers and writers. But they only care about criminals who support Donald Trump. Antifa rioters? They are "protesters." Homeless drug addicts pooping on the streets? "Victims." Somali fraudsters? No big deal. Hamas supporters taking over college campuses? They are bravely expressing their First Amendment rights. The man who slashed Iryna Zarutska's throat committed more felonies than all the January 6ers combined, and The New York Times barely tut-tuts. Illegal alien gang members? They are our "neighbors."
"One does not have to be a criminologist to predict that people who commit a violent act and are absolved of any punishment might become repeat offenders,"
Daniel FriedmanSay -- what's the recidivism rate for antifa street thugs repeatedly sentenced to "time served" -- just the hours or days they spent in county jail awaiting their "sentencing"? What do you guess the repeat-offender rate is there? 100% or thereabouts? By the way, the J6ers were held without trial for up to a year, often in the most degrading and intentionally-damaging conditions. Some were held in solitary confinement for no reason except to punish before trial.
@DanFriedman81 The Times editorial board points out that 12 people Trump pardoned for January 6 offenses have been rearrested in the 14 months since Trump pardoned them. Trump pardoned 1270 January 6 convicts. That is a rate of 1% of pardon recipients reoffending. Among arrestees free pending trial in New York City under the 2018 bail reform, about 22% are rearrested within 6 months. The people we need to worry about becoming repeat offenders after being absolved of punishment are not the J6ers. I am all for a punitive justice system. I am all for mass incarceration. But to pretend the J6 offenders are dangerous recidivists who need to be locked up while it's fine to immediately release most criminals arrested by the NYPD is profoundly ridiculous.
The Times editorial board points out that 12 people Trump pardoned for January 6 offenses have been rearrested in the 14 months since Trump pardoned them. Trump pardoned 1270 January 6 convicts. That is a rate of 1% of pardon recipients reoffending.

The NYT doesn't understand that a 1% recividivism rate not only doesn't support their theory that J6ers are bad guys, it actually shows just the opposite: that J6ers are nearly universally law-abiding people, and far less criminal than the average person.
By contrast, the recidivism rate for actual criminals is at least 35-50x higher than the J6ers.

At least one of the Jan 6ers, John Earle Sullivan, was BLM/Antifa and a "photojournalist," was egging them on to start fires and hurt people in the Capitol, and was the guy that got the footage of Ashi Babbitt getting shot. Then sold it for money.
He stupidly recorded audio of himself ENCOURAGING arson. That's why they convicted him. But Pres Trump pardoned him in that big sweep of people he pardoned.
from his Wiki: "On November 16, 2023, Sullivan was convicted of five felonies and two misdemeanor charges. On April 23, 2024, he was sentenced to six years in prison. On January 20, 2025, the first day of the second presidency of Donald Trump, Sullivan was pardoned along with nearly every other participant in the Capitol attack."

The memes about that are hilarious. The one of Marco Rubio having to take on the job of being Kristy Noem's husband, and he's wearing the huge fake boobs, is killer.
Apparently the final straw that made Trump let her go was that she was dodgy on the stand about her affair. The overspending for her dumb ads when we are trying to DOGE down the deficit didn't help. But I'm glad her demotion happened before the pics of her husband leaked.

Contaminated sample. Illegals in sanctuary jurisdictions are often administratively cleared even on fairly serious offenses like DUI, etc. because it might subject them to deportation. So police agencies turn a blind eye on chargeable offenses--sometimes even violent ones.
Unz did some early work dealing only with California arrests in the 90's which is where a distorted view of immigration crimes comes into play. But he ignored federal crimes including serious drug crimes, immigration fraud related crimes including welfare benefits, identity theft, and other non violent crimes.
When including those factors, the crime rate is substantially more. At least double maybe triple at the low end. Half or more at the high end including misdemeanors, etc.

You think they won't do an endzone dance like this just to get an extra measure of assholery in?
We are still in the stage where they feel they can't lose - Trump is just a transient speedbump, so the keep on with the plan to put the screws to us. If we don't do anything back, they win. If we do, the knives come out and they can start rounding up the kulaks. They feel that with near-total control of the MSM there is no way to over-commit.
Along that vein, I'm not the only one keenly watching the birthright case argument with the understanding that if the .gov doesn't unfuck themselves on this, we are virtually guaranteed to see political/ethnic cleansing at some point, at a minimum (against who remains to be seen). The progs' behavior is calculated to enrage and specific items like the foreign invasion aren't tolerable.

I think the EO loses. I don't think the ACLU will like the fact that a majority will kick it to Congress to legislate, not a constitutional amendment as most of the court are supposedly originalist and the historical record using subject to the jurisdiction thereof is clear as well as caselaw.
Remember that Congress set natural born citizenship to include the Canal Zone and for parents of children at foreign military bases. That is why John McCain could run for president as a natural born citizen despite being born in the Canal Zone. His admiral father was stationed at the Canal Zone at the time.
So a split the baby decision that allows Trump to pivot and use that as another cudgel to beat Congress and the Senate with. Will be an election issue in 2026 if that is the case.

They kept it under wraps claiming it was for training, (not popaganda or indoctrination of the recruits) and so nothing to do with the public at all. No one came forward because their entire career was at stake. KP just shut it down and unable to reveal truth because it affects literally, everyone.

Also, his parents were citizens. Children of citizens are natural born -- it has FUCKING nothing to do with where they are born.
- This means that every generation of those Chinese are also citizens. In enough time, the entire Chinese population will have one ancestor who is a citizen and if they keep applying at the embassy for citizenship, they will be too.

The case is a lot more complicated than that. The EO was a means of forcing the issue onto a reluctant ruling class. Court will have a lot more trouble trying to get a majority to rule what the ACLU wants which strips out the words subject to the jurisdiction thereof from the 14th Amendment. I don't think absolute jus soli is going to fly in the ruling. My guess again is that the dispute is kicked to Congress to resolve as it has in prior precedents. That can be done without disturbing Elkins nor Wong Ark Kim caselaw.
My guess is a plurality opinion with a bunch of concurrences and at least one or two dissents. This is going to be like the Obamacare case in my estimation. Some parts for everyone to hate.

Trump did it to force the issue and it worked. And no, I don't think it will enshrine what the ACLU wants even if and when the EO is terminated by a ruling. Both Roberts and ACB are essentially cowards but they would find a hard time to reconcile what the ACLU wants and their supposed originalism. Ditto for textualism from Gorsuch. Alito and Thomas are likely to dissent in part and concur in part is my guess.
I don't see the left gaining much if anything out of it to be honest. There is enough justices to disturb the status quo that is what I think they will do. Rule against the EO, kick the debate over to Congress.
And no, I don't think like Schlicter thinks it will take a constitutional amendment.
Trump is likely though to limit visas to foreigners with third term pregnancies and strike at birthing centers (which are already illegal under existing law).

No, she was in hospital because of injury when she jumped. She was improving and able to walk, but once she agreed (decided?) to off herself she refused to talk to any family or friends. Or so they say.
I have doubts about the organs being already committed. Surely the hospital would not say that, they just said she would not talk to anyone. Likelythough that they pressured her to keep her commitment to die.

Good days and bad days, had to have the cervical spine operation as I was losing feeling and control of arms and hands. But fusing the cervical region via a cage means the stress is concentrated lower. Already have 1 herniated thoracic disk and 4 in the lumbar so the pain in those joints is substantial along with muscle spasms from the readjustment process.
The muscle tightness in the cervical region is much diminished as time goes on so everything has moved downward.

325 mg acetaminophen is not a lot. Vicodin used to have 500 mg.
Where people get into trouble is when they combine extra acetaminophen in various OTC products with existing pain meds like Nyquil, Tylenol or Headache formulas, etc.
Think the upper limit per day (which is probably generous is about 3000 mg which down from the absolute limit of 4000 previously.
When I do take acetaminophen products, I keep it under 1800 mg per day.

Later cases casually calling children of illegal aliens citizens were drive-by rulings with no real analysis.
The executive order is prospective only. No retroactive stripping of citizenship."
---
That's what I keep saying:
Everyone is focused on the wrong question.
The left wants to make this about the horrors of shipping people who've been here for decades out.
And all it does is say, "we no longer deeming children born here of illegals as citizens."
Children who never had citizenship.
Once you strip out "what are we to do with those who are already here?!" with "nothing, they stay" then this is merely no different than, say ... ruling gay marriage is a Constitutional right--overturning near 200 years of practice and law.
Going forward, the parents of noncitizens have to prove their child is a citizen.
Shifting the burden, that's all, where before, the government had to prove they were not a citizen.
That's why I say it's 6-3--since it doesn't change the status of anyone already here.

Eh, painful but that is what inflammatory arthritis leads to. So far, I've kept it away from internal organs so I am better off than others.
Part of it was that the injectables have spike and then fall in levels over time. In my case, that meant about 1/3 of the month, I had levels of the injectables insufficient to ward off arthritic damage. And the injectable biologics can have some side effects.
The pill forms are weaker but right now is keeping my inflammation markers more stable because I take a dose daily. But the first pill I took, stopped being effective around about the covid era from 2020-2023. That required a return to Humira, and then to Cosentyx which never worked right for me in the last two years.

Crazy story out of Nepal:
Trekking company owners, helicopter operators, hospital executives, and mountain guides have all been caught in a dangerous scam. The guides put baking soda in the tourist's food. This gives the poisoned tourist severe gastric distress. The guides and medical teams then pressure them to evacuate by an expensive ride via helicopter to the local hospital. The hospital then falsely identifies the gastric distress as altitude sickness. Everybody profits at the expense of the tourist.

Rubio Blasts Our Frenemy "Allies:" You Know, We Don't Rely On Oil That Passes Through the Strait of America. You Do.
Europe, the world's most arrogant welfare moocher, wants us to -- get this -- do all the work for them while they can keep sitting on the couch fingering each other up the bungholes.
Overton
@overton_news Secretary Marco Rubio just delivered a BRUTAL wake-up call to U.S. allies refusing to step up on the Strait of Hormuz. "We depend very little on the straits -- this is a problem for the WORLD." RUBIO: "Well, the Straits of Hormuz, those are international waters, so anything Iran does to impede commercial traffic is illegal." "For all these countries that like to talk about international law, it is a violation of international maritime law to impede the free flow of travel in international waters, so that's number one." "Number two, it's illegal to bomb and hit and attack commercial shipping, and sink them." "That's what the Nazis did during World War II in the Atlantic, and that's what they are doing now to ships from countries they don't like, flagged by countries they don't like." "These are TERRORISTIC acts that they are undertaking." "So the United States gets very little energy through the Strait of Hormuz." "Our allies ship out a lot of oil through there...and certainly countries in Asia and Europe on it." "We depend very little on the straits, if, in fact, Iran decides to set up a toll, if, in fact, Iran decides that they are going to illegally control the Straits of Hormuz..." "I imagine that will be the president's call whether he wants to help but this is a problem for the world." "It's countries around the world that should be stepping up and dealing with that and saying that's intolerable and that's what we've encouraged them to do." Rubio just exposed the truth -- Iran is committing terroristic acts in international waters and America's allies are sitting on their hands.

The European population of Europe is old, lazy, and dying out. They only want to hold onto their pensions and what little retirement assets they have. They have neither the will nor the ability to resist the feral class of foreign savages invading their countries. Some of them -- just like in the USA -- are cheering on their own colonization.
Trump understands that Europe is dying. That's why he's been bolstering and building relationships with other countries, like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Hormuz is strategically linked to the security of Tawain for the next 50 years.
Why?
China cannot invade, let alone continue to maintain status as they do without Iran/Oil. Any invasion of the Taiwan strait will involve mining it, which when the euroMONSTERS are desperate enough will beg Trump to demine Hormuz in a way that will forever preclude China's mining of the strait and forever close the window on their Taiwan ambitions

Yes, but also I think a major reason why Europe doesn't want to help out in any war against an Islamic country is because they have been so infiltrated and invaded by radioactive Muslim CHUDs that European leaders are afraid of murderous reprisals by these lunatics. And on that score, they are probably right.
We in the USA have our own Muslim problem. It is much worse in Europe. If Keir Starmer comes out in support of USA against Iran, those gay Ukrainian rentboys will be the least of his worries. Muslims run the UK now.

Grok said Canada actually has 16 oil refineries and Australia has 2. I thought the Aussies grabbed that golden Net Zero ring and had none.
More info.
Canada sends the vast majority of its exported crude oil to the United States to be processed in U.S. refineries (particularly those configured for heavy oil sands crude in the Midwest/PADD 2 and Gulf Coast/PADD 3). In recent years (2023–2025 data), Canada exported approximately 3.8 to 4.3 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of crude oil to the U.S., representing about 95–97% of Canada's total crude exports.
This volume accounts for roughly 60% of all U.S. crude imports and about 23–24% of total U.S. refinery throughput. U.S. refineries process this Canadian crude (mostly heavy grades) into refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemicals.
The "returned" portion (refined products imported back to Canada)
Canada has limited domestic refining capacity (~1.9 MMb/d total, with much of it in Ontario, Quebec, and the West), so it imports a significant share of its refined petroleum products (RPPs) from the U.S.

I think it's deeper and more nefarious than that. Just like George Galloway and Iraq, I'm convinced that there are quite a few European politicians and bureacrats who were making a rather nice nest egg off of the Iranians by covertly allowing them to circumvent sanctions for a little personal scratch.
These same politicians need the regime to stay in place for financial, and reputational reasons (also criminal reasons).
Personally, I think there are quite a few European opportunists that are pissed off something fierce because of this, but can't come out and explain themselves....so they just sit back and do nothing.

The reason they don't is because of ports.
A way around that is, a boat, like a pilot boat, goes out and either collects the weapons or weapons and mercs before the ship enters port. Nothing stops them from having weapons on the open ocean. It's just countries laws while in port.

I got to shoot the breeze with a friend that has a family farm. The price of fertilizer never went down, and is currently outrageous. If the price of diesel does not drop back to below $5 a gallon soon, there's a lot of small family farms that need to fertilize soon, and they won't be able to afford the gas to power their equipment to put down the fertilizer on their fields.
My friend was kicking themselves they didn't stock up on diesel, back when gas prices plummeted right before the Iran conflict happened. But they thought it would keep dropping.
They voted for Trump and don't regret it. But the point of Trump is that the little guy in America feels heard and looked after. They are not feeling that right now. Trump can't afford to lose rural America in the midterms. If there's any way to ease our pump prices soon, I have a feeling he'll have to do it so he doesn't lose support.

Trump's already told the EU that if they want oil shipments, come and get them. Taking Kharg Island with the tanker terminals, refineries and whatnot would only provide security at that point, not in Hormuz.
If Europe isn't willing to do that little bit of security for their own goddamn oil shipments, I haven't a clue what they're usefulness is anymore.

______
Yes.
If Iran is an existential threat, then I want a full-scale invasion to role the regime, coordinated with the opposition to ensure a transition to a stable, friendly government. From what I've seen that's doable.
But that's the kind of thing that we have to be sure about. It's the kind of thing that Congress needs to authorize, and the public had to get on board with. If we're going to do this, we need to commit to it and do it right.
I'm not convinced that Iran is that kind of threat though, not least because Trump never tried to convince me. He was just like "Trust me bro."

What is left of Iran's economy is hanging by a thread that runs through a narrow strait. We can close that strait from our end whenever we like. Iran has zero leverage against us in any negotiation. And Rubio is pointing that out in a way Iran will understand, but the populace here will not.
We are energy independent, and Iran at its worst can not do more to our gas prices than Biden intentionally did as part of his policies. So the one thing people point to as how Iran has us over a barrel is just the opposite. This all needs to be explained more clearly.

Trump Becomes First Sitting President to Attend Supreme Court Oral Arguments, Showing Up to Hear Discussion About His Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
Oh no Trump is threatening the Supreme Court with his presence or something
President Donald Trump plans to sit in on Wednesday's Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, making him the first sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation's highest court. The Republican president's official schedule, sent out by the White House, included a stop at the Supreme Court, where justices will hear Trump's appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term, declared that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. It's an about-face from the long-standing view that the Constitution's 14th Amendment and federal law since 1940 confer citizenship to everyone born on American soil, with narrow exceptions. It's not the first time Trump has considered showing up for a high court hearing. Last year, Trump said that he badly wanted to attend a hearing on whether he overstepped federal law with his sweeping tariffs, but he decided against it, saying it would have been a distraction. On Tuesday, however, Trump seemed more sure he'd be in court for Wednesday's hearing while he spoke with reporters in the Oval Office. "I'm going," Trump said, when the upcoming arguments in the birthright citizenship case were mentioned. To a follow-up question clarifying that he planned to go in person, Trump said, "I think so, I do believe."The argument is about the 14th Amendment's declaration that any person "born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a citizen. This was intended to make it clear that slaves released from bondage after the Civil War were now citizens. The whole point of the "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" line was to make it clear that this did not apply to foreigners, who are subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign sovereign. We should win this case on the merits, but we're fighting against more than logic here. Meanwhile, a drunk Congresskaren overreacted as we've come to expect AWFULs to overreact 24/7/365:
In a now deleted post, Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said of President Trump going to SCOTUS this morning:

It took later legislation to make the Indians citizens.
Why? They weren't subject to the jurisdiction of the US government
This is also true for illegals. Because if they were subject they wouldn't be here.
It still allows the children of legal visitors to get citizenship, which is stupid, but at least this would stop 90%+ of these cases.

Anyway, the San Francisco Examiner is downright Hochul-esque in editorializing for anchor babies:
>>thousands of residents would lose their eligibility for federal programs that provide needed food, housing and health care, forcing the city to spend millions of dollars it cannot afford — or turn its back on children of immigrants.
We don't have enough OPM in San Francisco for the kids of "immigrants," so in order to uphold our lefty generosity, we must have OPM from all American taxpayers.

I'm surprised no sitting president has ever attended a SCOTUS meeting before. "Separation of Powers" doesn't mean that one can't sit in and listen to arguments/decisions, nor should it. I am sure that he wants to hear the decision firsthand.
Most people who are "on trial" get to hear their verdicts live, no?

The founders separate powers between the legislative and executive branches with only a modicum going to the judicial, but they also built a system that distributed power between the federal, state, and local governments AND religious and civic groups.
The left has burned all that and somehow makes the argument that not letting the permanent bureaucracy control the country violates the separation of power...?

And, you'll note, the pretend plaintiff's in this case were pregnant women.
(Which they sought out as plaintiff's in violation of ethical rules, btw.)
Anyway, everyone is trying to read this as, "but what do we do with all the children already born here?!" and that's the wrong question.
Every year, all over the nation, what was legal before, what you were allowed to do, changes with a mere signature of a governor or the President.
Or, bluntly, most states legally banned fags from pretending to be married until "sweet mysteries of the night" suddenly found that was a Constitutional right.
6 in favor of the EO as it is written.
Roberts and ACB pretend to split the baby and give a win to the left by saying it doesn't apply to children already born her.
The other four say as an aside, "duh."
Of course, the three idiots will all say that even a toe just across the border is an "olly-olly oxen free" everyone is a citizen.

The plaintiffs are trying to say that only was meant to exclude ambassadors and diplomats.
One of the Justices asked something like, "well, if that's what it means, how come they didn't just write 'ambassadors, diplomats and Indians?"
The response was something like, to launch into a muddled discussion of "well under common law everyone knew that's all it meant."
Or, to put it another way, if the exception to birth citizenship was a narrow class, why did they not write that and instead used the more expansive "subject to the jurisdiction?"

No. They are discussing domiciled here which if Scotus splits the baby, as I suspect it will due to the Rule of 4 needed to even grant cert. Basically that sojourners aka tourists, etc. would NOT be considered domiciled under the Congressional debate over the 14th. And that echoes from British law--travelers, foreign diplomats, etc. passing through were not considered subjects of the king or queen.
That would restrict citizenship to children of those with working visas that allowed them to be here.
These complications are probably why I think Scotus will punt the whole debate to Congress as it can decide then which of the people here on visas are 'domiciled or reside' in the US.
FWIW, 4 Justices had to consider overturning the lower courts in the first place to hear the case.

My question is about U.S. Senate parliamentary procedure. I know that there are a lot of things about it that are mere convention, not a mandatory rule, like the "blue slip" approval for Presidential nominees in a Senator's state. I think the Senate President pro tem is another one, and Majority Leader Thune apparently just let the Senate go on two-week vacation. So.
As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

Eh, justices that don't like him may have colleagues they don't like as well. Justice Jackson seems to be even on the outs with her erstwhile leftist justices like Sotomayor and Kagan.
Basically, I think all along this was Trump's moving the Overton Window and rightfully so. The power has always been with Congress to legislate just as they did to extend voting to Indians on reservations (aka non-taxables) in the 20's.
Even Wong Ark Kim decision declined to extend citizenship beyond a son admitted from two legally admitted immigrants. That decision ignored the subject to the jurisdiction thereof which was common for the rancid Scotus courts post civil war.
Trump is forcing Scotus and Congress to address the situation and 4 justices agreed that it was time to do so.

As I have repeatedly said, Congress due to prior precedents is given full enumerated power over immigration. The EO may be struck down but my guess is that Congress will be allowed to set what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means just like other immigration laws and creating voting and full citizenship for Native Americans on reservations in the 1920's. That was not Scotus doing it, it was Congress.

I suspect what he's doing is taking control of some narrative and putting air back in to the conversation that got him elected.
It also keeps the media from ignoring it until the day of the ruling when they can brag that Trump's EO got fucked by the SC and make it look like another loss in a string of losses. Which means "nationwide" discussion of the *issue* is forced not just the outcome. It's a strong move.

Still the law, been unenforced but sponsors take pledges binding in court of financial liability if their immigrant ends up being a public charge to the US. The Hart-Celler Act removed the geographic quotas on immigration and created some new avenues that the older 1950's and earlier immigration acts did not have. It did not eliminate the public charge requirement.

The Constitution names the vice president of the United States as the president of the Senate. In addition to serving as presiding officer, the vice president has the sole power to break a tie vote in the Senate and formally presides over the receiving and counting of electoral ballots cast in presidential elections.
Today vice presidents serve as principal advisors to the president, but from 1789 until the 1950s their primary duty was to preside over the Senate. Since the 1830s, vice presidents have occupied offices near the Senate Chamber. Over the course of the nation’s history, the vice president’s influence evolved as vice presidents and senators experimented with, and at times vigorously debated, the role to be played by this constitutional officer.
I found this unhelpful. Though if he gets to interpret the rules and recognize debaters, he could be pretty powerful.

The legislation directs the executive to take action.
Congress is not directly granting citizenship to people, the bureaucracy, part of the executive, handles the administration.
Conventionally, the bureaucracy has some flexibility when the law is ambiguous. Unless Congress were to clarify that they meant something else, there wouldn't seem to be an issue with an Executive Order to adhere to the original meaning of the amendment.

ACLU Attorney Cecillia Wang argues that any newborn child, regardless of their parents' legal status and allegiance to foreign nations, even adversaries like Iran, should be granted citizenship without regard to said allegiance.

It's like a lot of other things. They only enforce it when they want to.
Posted by: rickb223
Exactly. All those church groups that sponsor immigrants could theoretically be on the hook for any of their sponsored immigrants that goes on the dole. But enforcement has been rare.
Basically the entire premise of our ruling class since the Simpson Mazzoli amnesty bill in 1986 is open borders bullshit--good for corporations and farmers (cheap labor), good for Democrats (more social spending and political clients), and screw the American public at large.
That is why they keep bringing up amnesty but fortunately Barry and his Dem Congress like to keep that dangling rather than ram it through. They want cover from the GOP corporate class before doing it.

1) they strike the EO and say Congress can fix it if they don't like it.
2) they uphold the EO and say Congress can fix it if they don't like it.
All I'm saying is, over the last 4 years or so, the Court has issued a lot of opinions that are "the law means precisely what it says, just because it was "always" interpreted the other way, just because a lot of people like it that way doesn't change that fact."
Recall, for decades, Roe v. Wade was called a "super-precedent."
Chevron was settled law.
Could they rule against Trump?* Yeah.
But if you take the strict meaning of the 14th, I don't see them reversing all the prior reasoning and saying, "but here, let's allow the broadest, most expansive meaning of the statute."
*look at the tariff opinion. The left wanted a broad rule of all tariffs and no power to declare emergency. But the opinion was, "in this narrow circumstance, under this statute only. And oh yeah, we're not going to deal with the consequences of this ruling (refunds)."

And the only way to solve it - barring a miracle - is to shrink government spending. And that means the Big three: Medicare/Medicaid, SS, military.

And an outcome of anchor babies, is the Chinese tourist baby industry, which brings their new American Baby back to China to be subjects of the CCP, from which they can emerge 18 years later as voting Americans (and still probably not subject to American law). This is just surrender of our country to foreign powers.
I hear a lot of middle class Mexicans have been doing the same thing for decades ... have the baby here for the future benefits, but move back home to Mexico (under whose laws they were always subject).

I would argue that if every senior had been allowed to invest their 6 1/2% contribution into the system, ALONG WITH THE 6 1/2% REQUIRED TO BE CONTRIBUTED BY THEIR EMPLOYER, rather than allowing Congress to take it from them under force of law and telling us to "trust them" to keep it safe, EVERY senior citizen would have enough saved up to cover those costs.
It chaps my hide when people act like people who have been paying into the system their entire working lives are somehow not allowed to reap the benefit of their contributions.

It’s laughable you consider the military to be one of the “big three”. Now I agree…we should spend money there more efficiently. I cannot understand why logistical chains cannot be more unified. That would save tons of money and time. But it’s laughable to consider that one of our bigger expenses. (But it should be the biggest. Government isn’t here to give you a doctor or a pension.

Sunk cost. The question is how to move forward and companies destroying pension plans means that for voters, the alternative is a rickety Social Security system or defined contribution 401k plans.
We have seen what happens in a natural experiment. How many people fully fund their 401k plans voluntarily? For most, it is always the devil of spending money today versus saving it for tomorrow. Make the future really uncertain, people will rationally spend today to avoid uncertainty.
And inevitably, those private piggybanks are just like Social Security, looked at by politicians as a way to grab it and spend it for their reelection, power, and wealth.

Ironically, Scotus has been pretty solid in immigration cases (obscured by lower courts Resist crap) and has continually ruled in favor of congressional laws that restrict even the court's abilities to interfere.
Immigration and naturalization is a direct enumerated power in Article I, Section 8 for Congress. "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization".
And kicking the can to Congress of the mess is appealing to Justices like ACB, Roberts, or perhaps even Kavanaugh or Gorsuch. It has A) strong legal precedents buttressing the idea that Congress make immigration law, B) historically accurate, C) politically removes Scotus from the inevitable wailing and retaliation by the left.

🚨 JUST IN: SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson argues for illegal aliens having birthright citizenship by saying if she steals somebody's wallet in Japan, she has "allegiance" to that country
She has to freaking go. This is absurd. Actually.
"I was thinking, you know, I'm a U.S. citizen, am visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?"
"So there's this relationship based on—even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense. Is that the right way to think about it?"
"And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of, quote-unquote, allegiance, just by virtue of being in the United States?"

But if the narrow question is what the language of the 14th amendment actually means wrt birthright citizenship, it would be difficult for the Court to say, with a straight face*, that Congress gets to decide that constitutional question and the Court doesn't. Which would they rather do...blow up birthright citizenship with a sound legal argument, or essentially overturn Marbury v. Madison?

Dunno, the Overton Window is going away from Open Borders across the West. The left and their globo homo ruling class are trying to fight that but increasingly the facts on the ground are shifting the debate toward ending it.
Trump is good at making opponents pick the 20 percent option (and that would be like Action Jackson's stupid remark above) and then beating them about the head with it.
And Trump does have power of admittance and this will supercharge deportation under existing power and to deny for example, pregnant foreigners from admittance and airfare to the US.
He knows how to bring pain to his opponents and is likely to continue doing that for three years.

"The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) stabilized the PBGC's multiemployer insurance program, extending its solvency from 2026 to 2055. It established the Special Financial Assistance (SFA) Program, providing $74–$91 billion to failing multiemployer pension plans, securing benefits for over 3 million workers."
Taxpayer funded, dear, for the 'working' and for the retired and their families.
By he way, NOT every retiree receives Social Security or goes onto Medicare, but do not single out those that have as worthless and a burden on the society that they've also supported.

It is less a constitutional question about subject to the jurisdiction thereof, it is a specific fact finding pattern best suited for Congressional definition.
Too tired and too limited to fully make this judicial temperament clear but judicial restraint types that have been the traditional GOPe appointees to courts, believe and claim that courts did too much. And therefore to maintain comity in our system with other branches, it should defer to Congress as to the particulars of policy unless it clearly violates the Constitution. And to determine that, judicial restraint types look toward the original understanding of the language, the subsequent actions by the Court in the past, and only then practical analysis of the problem.

Yes, in the 50s. That was the immigration rules my grandparents came over here with. They were basically indentured servants to their employer and/or sponsor, and they didn't make waves so they wouldn't lost their employment. But it was only for a few years, and then they were free to go wherever they wanted.
Thank the Chappaquidick Kennedy for killing that.

My grandparents immigrated here in the early part of the last century, 1900 to 1907. And the rules were very strict. You had to have employment lined up and be sponsored by a relative or spouse already here. Many of the Hungarian women were employed by the many cigar factories in the Perth Amboy/New Brunswick area. My maternal grandmother was no exception. Found her name on a manifest from 1907, and again on the 1910 census, living in New Brunswick, within walking distance of a cigar factory.

Given that Congress has already exercised that power regarding Indians, and supported by the dialogue of the 14th Amendment's ratification, and even the Wong Ark Kim decision (legal residency aka domiciled aka resides), easy enough to build a winning coalition that kicks the can to Congress rather than trying to institute a fiat court definition of natural born. For example, Congress is the one that extended that right to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (see Insular Cases), to Indians on reservations, and to the Panama Canal Zone (see the McCain case).
Want to see how the court avoids issues--look up the Guarantee Clause of a Republic. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". Then read Luther v. Borden. Court invents the political question doctrine here of justiciability.

And the others would do something called defensive denial. Simply put, for the most part, and this has been empirically proven in old docket books, in justice's papers and interviews. It is rare for those wanting to solidify a decision to vote to grant cert. After all, they could lose and enshrine a bad precedent.
That in part, is why 2A advocates are so frustrated with the court and 2A denials of cert are fairly frequent. It is because the justices needed to overturn laws like in NJ, etc. want to make sure they have a winning coalition in the first place.
Trump had already lost at lower courts which had enshrined the globo homo view of drop a kid on US soil, they become a citizen. This is a decision that will overturn the status quo to some degree, my guess is in line with other decisions, a messy plurality will kick it to Congress as the decisionmaker, not the Prezzie.

I spent time dealing with old Warren court documents at Library of Congress on a research project that ended up going nowhere on agenda setting at the Supreme Court but ended up getting a paper published on it with some co authors.
The old docket books tell a story as well as internal correspondence between the justices and Library of Congress has the largest set of justices' papers. Burger's are at William and Mary but not open until 2033. I think CJ Vinson's are in Univ. of Kentucky Lexington.

Wednesday Morning Rant
In Canada, MAID's goalposts have been moving rapidly. It took just five years for Canada to mash down the accelerator on MAID. When passed in 2016, MAID required a 10-day "reflection period" before a person could be eligible. This was repealed for terminal patients in 2021, and they installed a MAID express lane. There is still a waiting period for MAID's "Track 2" participants - which is for those without "forseeable death" - but it can also be waived. From "death as a mercy" to express-lane, state-sponsored killing in five years. Impressive.
But it doesn't stop there for MAID. MAID still doesn't kill citizens suffering only from mental illness. That is changing. It was supposed to change last year, but there was enough objection that it's been deferred until 2027. But they will get there, and open a whole category of people who can be killed by the state. Sure, it requires consent - but as we see reported frequently, MAID is enthusiastically offered to those seeking medical treatment and - unlike many other medical treatments in Canada - MAID acts fast. The slope is slippery indeed. Colorado also passed its euthanasia law in 2016. Unlike Canada, it took longer to start moving the goalposts. It wasn't until 2024 that they cut the waiting period in half and added a waiver process to skip the waiting period if the prescriber thinks death is imminent. That same year, Colorado also expanded who can prescribe the drugs to include Advanced Practice Registered Nurses in addition to doctors. This latter change was made specifically to cover doctor-scarce rural areas. Vermont passed its euthanasia law in 2013 and also took longer to start moving the goalposts. In 2022 they "expanded access" by eliminating one of the two waiting periods, allowing remote diagnosis ("telemedicine") and opening eligibility to non-residents. In neither state is it available for mental illness, nor can the doctor administer the drugs - but I will be surprised if it takes more than five years to get there under the banner of "expanded access." After all, neither state made it even a decade before hitting the accelerator. Then there is Spain. Spain was comparatively late to the party, not legalizing state-sponsored euthanasia until 2021. Spain does still have a waiting period, but also permits it for mental illness. That permission is not explicit, but it is nonetheless permitted. A mere three years after the law's passage, the Spanish parliament attempted to make it explicitly permitted. The attempt failed - probably because it wasn't necessary - but many in Spanish government wanted to make it very clear that they will help you off yourself for mental illness. They learned from their forbears to be expansive, but wanted to make it explicitly expansive just in case they can help shuffle more people into the grave by doing so. The reason I looked into this further is the same case that CBD discussed yesterday. In that case, a mentally-ill young woman named Noelia Castillo Ramos became the youngest person in Spain to die by assisted suicide, and it was for mental illness that was exacerbated by sexual assault. Her family sued to prevent it, citing mental incompetence. The court ruled that she was competent, and so it proceeded. That makes sense as far is it goes, but I was curious as to why the lawsuit was about competence rather than diagnosis, why the argument was that Ramos couldn't make that choice, rather than because it was for a non-terminal illness. That is when I learned that it needn't be for a terminal - or even physical - illness in Spain. Competence was the only avenue available to fight it. The press and politicians happily ignored those who objected to these laws. The press wrote off the moral and religious objectors as atavistic cranks, and declared that the pragmatic objectors were arguing in bad faith. The pragmatic objectors to state-sponsored euthanasia are perhaps the most interesting, because they feared exactly this ratcheting expansion even if they didn't have moral or religious objections to the idea of a "mercy killing." The pragmatists were proven correct as everywhere such laws have been implemented, the requirements are subsequently loosened. Wait less. Make diagnosis easier and faster. Expand the list of eligible conditions. Once permitted at all, the steady march toward expansion, acceleration, popularization or - G-d forbid - a mandate immediately began. Encouraging citizens to die is too great a temptation for the state. Once that door has been opened, it not only can never close, it can only open wider. Whether through misplaced empathy, financial considerations or simple malice, the standards and restrictions always decline and - like abortion - what started as "safe, legal and rare" becomes the heavily-encouraged first choice. Also, I hope that our Jewish Hordelings have a good Pesach (which begins tonight) and that our Christian Hordelings have a blessed Good Friday and a happy Easter!Comments

In both programs, doctors could prescribe death by removal of all assistance, including food and water, without the family's awareness or consent.
With LCP, it was the doctors that finally revolted. The program was set up with participation goals and bonuses to hospitals that exceeded goals. Hospital administrators were harassing doctors, telling them to kill more and more patients to reap the financial rewards. They were essentially killing senior patients who were annoying, without family to protect them, and those with mental disabilities.

When the state controls what medical treatment is available to you, such as in Canada and the UK, they can essentially tell you your only treatment they will approve is MAID.

As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

Prime Minister Jetten just called me.
He said he had severely underestimated the demands of the premiership and greatly overestimated the confidence of his coalition partners. He no longer had confidence in his own cabinet. I told him I appreciated his honesty.
Since our parties had won an equal number of seats in the elections, Mr. Jetten indicated that he wished to transfer the premiership to me.
We will go together to the King at 12:00 p.m. to formalize the transfer.
Tomorrow I will enact emergency state law, close the borders to all asylum seekers, and make preparations for a large-scale repatriation of Syrians and others back to their home countries. Asylum centers can close, the coercive law will be repealed, our homes will belong to us again, and with the money saved, we will immediately lower the excise taxes on gasoline and diesel.

As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are filling the gap because there is a dearth of primary care docs.. .
First, the number of medical students is limited. Allow more med students instead of allowing people who have fewer years of training fill in for doctors*.
It allows med to be prescribed more freely and remotely (see ads for 1-800 diet and erectile dysfunction meds), which helps Pharmaceuticals.
I should note my bias: my husband's cancer was misdiagnosed for up to a year because the nurse practitioner kept guessing different things for his symptoms at each visit. In retrospect, she was clearly unsupervised.

According to Reuters, “Merz's coalition government imposed tougher controls when it took power last year, as support for the anti-immigration AfD party surged in the wake of former Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to admit around 1 million asylum seekers from countries including Syria and Afghanistan.
Roderich Kiesewetter of the CDU (Christian Democrats), which is Merz’s own political party, told the national German Handelsblatt news site that Merz made a politically “unwise” decision to get out ahead on this issue and make such statements if he can’t deliver when all is said and done.
If Merz fails, Kiesewetter said, other parties, like the Alternative for Germany (AfD), will likely take advantage.
Anke Rehlinger is from Germany’s Social Democrat (SPD) party and is premier of Germany’s Saarland state. She told Funke Media Gruppe that “putting forward specific figures with specific timeframes” is a way of setting yourself up to fail. Rehlinger also said that a large number of Syrians are now playing a key role in the German economy. ”

And that's why I think AI will soon dominate medicine (in some areas, it sort of already does). I don't worship physicians as our parent's generation did, and I think diagnosis is something that can ultimately do a better job than a human, although you'll want to keep a human in the loop for awhile yet.

There is only so much space to train them, and even then schools are doing everything they can to make sure once enrolled you graduate. The clinical requirements are extensive, you cannot magically create more supply to provide them proper training.
That is why NP's and PAs have become more popular in basics family practice settings. Quicker, less clinical training, work on training on the basic stuff most patients will present with. Once it goes beyond that, the doc should step in.

The doctor was terrible. He always gets high rating in the local city magazine, but he was responsible for that as well as my brother f'ing up his knee (he gave him the all-clear to resume running because he misdiagnosed the injury). Terrible doctor, terrible practice.

THIS.
No insult to NP and PA's, but they're not equivalent to doctors, no matter how much bureaucrats want us to believe.
My dad is a retired doctor (another bias), and in a medical journal (can't recall which one) a few years back, they did a study of a large medical practice that was moving more patient visits to NP's to save money. They discovered that it actually increased costs because the NP's were less sure of their diagnosis and ordered many more tests that the doctors. Totally unexpected result.

I have called. Caregiver PTSD is actually a thing. I'm not a medication guy. I've been to my doctor about twice in 10 or 12 years. But he called and gave me meds. And a lady has come three times as I deal with anxiety that just popped up.
I believe that mental health bureaucracy was already in place. It's a government system designed to help people in crisis so you know it's not getting cut. And you have the medical system and MAID on the other side.
One bureaucracy to prevent suicide. The other to help you accomplish it. Weird.

Well, if you're talking about drugs like barbiturates, they're prescription only. If you asked the doctor for a lethal dose, he'd probably deny you. The idea is to go softly into that good night, not spend your final hours choking and vomiting, or worse, blowing your head off for your loved ones to find.

They're already past asking. That's why they are putting so many toxins in our food.
The "Elite" are way past the taboo notion of "equality" and think is "scientific" that the "smartest" people make decisions for all us dummies.
This is one thing that atheists in general refuse to grasp. Yeah, "equality" is a value that non-believers can have without a doctrine of equality--but when the rubber hits the road--DO THEY??!!!
Atheists have given us a century or two of slovenly thinking and "I'll get to it" rigor.
The question of "Can Christianity restrain man's evil" is valid given the ROAD RECORD of Christianity. But they never consider the ROAD RECORD of Atheist leaders.
Christians have a doctrine that makes "human worth" an actual desirable thing. There is no such thing as "human worth"--even in any religion--outside of Christianity that sounds like a good thing. Because "worth" comes from "warp" and "to turn", it means "turnaround in the marketplace" to a degree.

There is a vast difference in kind between allowing someone to take their life and encouraging it.
If you want to off yourself. Fucking do it. No one is stopping you. It is easier to get a gun than a book, so go to Buds, pick out a nice one to fit in your mouth and do it.

AI actually will do a poorer job of diagnosis, because they won't be able to take what a patient says into consideration as well as a human. Templates already exist to determine what to do with the diagnosis, I would expect AI to speed up that process and probably reduce the need for back office types. Where AI will excel will be in surgical activities, radiology and such. It will probably wipe out over half the diagnostic radiologists, and will completely change what a surgeon does.

There are good and bad ones as in any profession.
There are legitimate errors and errors because of not paying attention. In our case, it was the latter. My husband's frequent visits with the PA's diagnoses all over the map and nothing working merited his attention. The cancer was found thanks to internal bleeding and him vomiting blood - we were lucky he got to the ER in time. **The doctor and the PA dropped the ball.**

The dirty little secret is that "body brokers" have been getting kickbacks to steer patients to certain treatments and centers since the earliest days. Every once in a while there's a prosecution over it, but I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg.

The only hope is that the case that set this all up was not determined by the legislature but by the courts. SCOTUS could correct itself. The courts overrode the legislature.

The Bank of England defaulted during WWI, and everything in modern economics and banking since then has been an attempt to paper over that fact, or get another country to pay the debt back for them.
Even Keynes was just formalizing the practices that the BOE adopted to hide the fact that they were deep in debt and had no way out.

Regardless of any moral stance on self-offing, I'm vehemently against any govt involvement, permission or regulation of suicide. You want to end it all? Do it yourself. Hundreds of thousands of people find a way do it every year all on their own, why should you be any different?
There's something really perverse about setting up a government relationship with suicide where on the one hand they try to talk you into it and provide the means through lethal drugs; and on the other hand they operate suicide crisis hotlines where they try to talk you out of going through with it and getting you the mental health help you need to reduce or eliminate the suicidal urge.

Unlikely. Rule of Four means that four justices had to want to hear the case. If they were comfortable with the status quo, they would have just let lower court decisions stand.
Alito and Thomas are originalists. Kavanaugh is another more or less originalist. That leaves Gorsuch whose textualism is less than originalist at least on statutory interpretation cases, and ACB who claims to be an originalist. Roberts is a judicial restraint type.
My personal guess is that the Courts will strike down the executive order but throw it to Congress to fix legislatively. That eliminates stripping citizenship retroactively from anchor babies and handing Trump a win. Fits in with prior rulings on immigration law--Congress's power is plenary. Also see Indian citizenship statute.

Wrong way to read Wong Ark Kim. Basically both parents were legal residents and the son was born here while that was so. They went back to China and Wong Ark was denied reentry.
The lazy assumption since the 1920's was that the subject to the jurisdiction thereof meant jus soli so anyone could be American if they were born on magic dirt.
What they ignore is that it took an act of Congress to make Indians not taxable (reservations) citizens in the 1920's under Coolidge Administration. Coolidge's VP was actually Native American in part.
The whole impetus of the 13th to 15th Amendments were to get rid of the Dred Scott v San(d)ford decision. Too long to go into all of it but it specifically denied that blacks could be citizens of the United States whether free or slaves. And misread the Declaration of Independence to do so.

Something like that if Roberts has anything to do a decision to limit birthright citizenship entirely is on the table. He will flip to the majority in order to try to control and limit the opinion.

Attended a program through the local library recently to see what it was about. Many in attendance were actually looking for grief services after losing loved ones, others were exploring the availability of hospice services and how they're paid for through Medicare/Medicaid or private insurance. Just a few attendees were looking for answers on how to be prepared for death - theirs or others.
In the end, it seemed to be a business assisting in planning one's death, from coordinating Wills & Estates, helping with Living Wills and Advance Directives, coordinating care and/or respite, assisting in the final preparations, taking some of the burden from the dying and/or their families - depending.
Green burials, etc. were discussed, but also that PA does not yet allow the practices of euthanasia or aquamation.

But different types of crude don’t fetch the same price. “Benchmark” crude or WTI, or “light sweet” crude is a standard, that all crude oil probably aspires to.
Lesser oils trade at a discount. Then there’s transportation costs. They will trade contracts and offset with $$$. Say for example, Alaskan crude. Good stuff, it makes more sense to sell it to Japan, then refine it in the USA. They’ll trade it for something else from somewhere else, that kind of thing.
It’s a global market and reacts locally to global events.

While the player ranted about Pride month, he didn't stop there. He said just as hateful stuff about Catholics. So, his best hope is that his Protestant minister comes out and speaks for him, b/c he rejected the Pope doing so...
"In one video, Ivey slammed the NBA for celebrating the LGBTQ community as a defiance of Christian “righteousness.”
In comments under another, he reportedly told one viewer that “Catholicism is a false religion,” adding that “it is not the true Doctrine of Christ,” and that it “does not lead to salvation in Jesus Christ.”"

This conflicts with current practice in which pillows are offered when seated so that diners may recline and tarry when eating, as rich people do. Slaves eat what they can when they can and then back to work.

There's a table of folks that are there every Tuesday for said trivia night. They cheat, of course, and usually win every week. There's 8 or 9 of them, but they pitch a bitch any time their server auto-gratuity's them as a party of 6 or more, so they don't and the bastards tip like shit.
I was walking back from turning in our answer and a girl was walking up to do the same, so I stepped out of her path, being courteous. A dude from that table passed me by, as if I got out of HIS way, made HER move out of his way, all while he stopped to talk at a table and blocked the walkway.

Some of US President Donald Trump’s aides tell the Axios news site that they believe the American leader is “mostly improvising, rather than following any clear plan” regarding the Iran war.
The aides tell Axios that Trump “likes to keep his options open, spitball with different audiences, then capitalize if he thinks he sees an opportunity.”

We would go to a family friend's house (on the Grand Concourse!) for the second Seder. He was an orthodox rabbi, and his Seder would last for about six hours. It was agony.

Chicago Bob was an unfortunate choice but the Catholic Church has been through tough times before. My friend spines that the Catholic Church is the number one reason we're not all speaking Islam now. No need to refight the 30 Years War.

Do not allow what is reported, or not reported, to cause you distress. The best that can be said for the media is that they're clueless and just making shit up. Most pundits are even more clueless and making shit up. And then there's the folks who're flat out lying about shit.
Everyone who's talking about the conflict has a paymaster, or a personal ax to grind, and their comments should be taken with a one ton grain of salt.

I could make some pegging jokes, but back pain sucks ass.
Just a side note: I was having a lot of issues with lower back pain where it would tighten up and occassionally I would wrench something and that just fucked everything. The new job has required a lot of bending and twisting and kneeling down to inspect things. The back pain has gone away.
Move. Best medicine.

Supposedly, people on the ground are supply troop locations which the Israelis are using to blow them up with drones. It's questionable whether a WW2-style resistance, blowing up train tracks and the like, would accomplish much in Iran, in 2026.

The Morning Report — 4/1/26
Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.Perhaps this was the plan all along and the deployment of several thousand US troops to or near the theatre was a big head-fake. Iran's nuclear program was always the prime if not sole reason why the President decided to attack, with regime change or as it stands the chance for regime change an enticing side benefit. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, the pressure on the global economy as the free flow of Middle Eastern oil is severely hampered is tremendous, to say nothing of the political pressure as gas prices rise as a crucial midterm election season kicks into high gear.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Operation Epic Fury in Iran will come to an end in the next two or three weeks, or perhaps even sooner.If the reports of Iran's enriched Uranium stockpile being buried forever are accurate, that is certainly a very good thing. And assuming their centrifuges are now also a pile of rubble and their nuclear and rocket scientists now so much moldering worm food, the odds of them being able to reconstitue what they once had, certainly in the near term are low. But, can we really breathe a sigh of relief if even a shadow of the Mullahocracy is allowed to take the reins of power. We are after all dealing not only with a 47-year old regime but with a 1500-year old ideology spanning the globe that seeks to conquer it and make it Planet Islam. Yes, regime change is a good thing, But regime change begins at home!
The apparent eagerness of Trump to make a deal with Iran, leaving in place the current regime, has left many Iranians feeling deceived and disappointed. They are particularly alarmed that his mediators have been talking to the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. More on Ghalibaf can be found here: “Iranians feel ‘deceived, abandoned’ as Trump weighs striking deal with Iran’s old guard,” by Omid Habibinia, The Media Line, March 25, 2026 . . .Well, dear Persians, my message to you is put your own asses on the line. We've done more than enough heavy lifting already. The rest is up to you. What's better, living on your knees of dying on your feet?! I hope it doesn't come to that for you and every innocent decent person, but the ball is in your court.
And speaking of regime change beginning at home as well as President Donald Trump, he has done more to change the regime of business as usual here at home than any President since Reagan and Coolidge. Certainly more than the GOP that has been stabbing him in the back at almost every turn. For example:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening signed an executive order focused on election integrity, including a measure to ensure that mail-in ballots are sent to eligible voters and returned by them. Trump signed the order in the Oval Office while flanked by White House staff secretary Will Scharf and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick . . . “We’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote,’ Scharf said of the first measure.No doubt the lawsuits and phony injunctions from Justices Buch M. Danno and Mac A. Damia will be forthcoming. But still. At least we at long last have a real leader putting his ass on the line, unlike the GOP that is doing jack shit and worse, doing what they can to sabotage the efforts. And speaking of literally leading from the front:
President Trump to Attend SCOTUS Oral Arguments on Birthright Citizenship. . . Soon after taking office last year, Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and foreign tourists, often referred to as “anchor babies” as they anchor their parents permanently in the U.S. and can sponsor their immediate relatives for green cards once they become of legal age.Wow. I'm no presidential historian but I think this is unprecedented. That said, I know of no rule that forbids Trump from sitting in on the SCOTUS session, especially since he himself, or his policy, is one of the parties in the case. My first reaction is perhaps politically it's not such a great move as it gives the Leftists a potential talking point to attack him as a tyrant/Hitler intimidating the judiciary or some such rot. Then again, it brings the issue of the madness of the birthright citizenship abomination into the public discourse, alongside the madness of illegal aliens and election non-integrity that illegal aliens voting is a huge part of. God bless and keep President Trump. Say what you will, but this is what I voted for. LEGALLY three times. One vote in each of three elections, for the record.
And if none of this is interesting enough, we have Muslim boys molesting girl mannequins for your April Fool's entertainment.
And to my fellow Jews and really to all of you, I send Passover greetings and wishes for a Ziessen Pesach and may the angel of death pass over you and pay a nice long visit to all our enemies, wherever they lurk. May they be thwarted, defeated and their legacy of dissolution and destruction be eradicated and expunged for all time. Have a great day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE
@GOP_is_Gutless
🚨 Fetterman Drops a Bomb on Oprah:
Senator John Fetterman just exposed how Oprah Winfrey allegedly tried to buy his vote on the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“She had her assistant approach me and offer me $20 million to vote against the bill,” Fetterman told the Senate Oversight Committee.
“I told her that’s not how our country works.”
He immediately informed Democrat leadership.
Their response?
“They swept it under the rug.”

If the idea is that scuttering Iran's nuclear program is sufficient, that's an absurd idea.
The Iranian people have been completely disarmed so the notion they are going to rise up and overthrow the people with the guns is lunacy.
If we want a stable ME long term, the regime in Iran needs to be replaced, and that only happens one way.
Uggh, the ME and Asia will always be a f**** quagmire.

From Breitbart:
Unlike Apollo, which sent only men to the moon from 1968 through 1972, Artemis’ debut crew includes a woman, person of color and a non-U.S. citizen.
Artemis II’s pilot Victor Glover said over the weekend that he wants young people to see them and think, “Girl power and that’s awesome, and that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go ‘Hey, he looks like me and he’s doing what???’”
At the same time, Glover, who is Black, looks forward to when ”one day we don’t have to talk about these firsts” and exploring the cosmos becomes an all-encompassing “human history.”

It highlights not just the superiority of popular music from that era, but the shared experience of radio. He then challenges the viewer to compile a "Best of the 2020's" album. Dont take that bet.

Going to the streets and protesting is a whole other thing from dislodging the people with guns and monopoly on violence.
And looking at history, winning the bad guys to your cause is typically not the norm, the norm is the guys with the guns are dislodged with other people with guns.
The Iranian people don't have guns, or really a plan of real succession for rule.
In short, it's a f****g mess, and yet another mess in the Middle East.

It's genius, it's effective, the GOP is doing no similar effort for men, and it's likely to succeed, especially with the 54-1 monetary advantage.
So, please vote, but if you think it's a VA GOP get out the vote referendum, it's not. It's a display of how effective DEM Get Out the Vote efforts have become vs GOP ones...the personalized attention in this day and age was a winner in 2025, and it may be again in 2026, if nothing changes.

We've (the US) done a fantastic job of limiting our own output, and California is shutting down even more output, thereby raising demand from other sources (and they're more $$$).
Not building pipelines, Not adding refining capacity (did y'all forget Valero a couple of weeks back?), and adding more taxes and regulations make for a fragile market. Throw in some speculation and *presto*, prices fluctuate.
I do note the higher price areas have added even more regulations lately...

I'm partial to the one where they smear them with milk and honey, lock them in a box with just the hands and feet exposed.
Then set them afloat to sea.
The flies will find them, lay their eggs and the maggots will do the rest.
While they are alive.
Except, I say skip the sea part:
Leave them in the shade.
Give them water.
Make sure they live as long as possible.
The public needs to hear their cries and wails.
They too are guilty.

Close. Really, really close. But expand that to "all of them, and also everyone in any high-powered government position."
If you understand the psychology of people who enter government and especially the demons who rise to the top of it, you understand why they push for euthanasia programs, and why they should be denied them.
All the terrible things they do, they do to feed the demons gnawing on their innards, but nothing satisfies like murdering the innocent and vulnerable. It's like a tomahawk ribeye for power demons.

But the most important outcome is market-rate oil for the Chinese. That's the brass ring in this conflict.
Those two things, and an end to state sponsored terror abroad, are the important goals. The rest is just static, and we can always repeat this process if they step out of line on the important things.
If some regime strongman is willing to meet those demands, he can oppress his subjects with reckless, bloodthirsty abandon, AFAIC. Foreigners. Do not care. They'd never lift a finger for us besides the middle one, and that's only dug into their palms for the moment because they want something from us.

Their distribution systems have got to be awfully rigid. When you're making 2¢: per gallon profit, you're not going to have spare trucks and drivers and time laying around to deliver substantially more or less gasoline if someone decides to have a sale.
I think that's why prices go up and, eventually, down in unison. The prices are dictated by the minute to keep the deliveries flowing.

I'm not bleak at all. In the last 3 months Trump took Maduro and in doing so freed Venezuela from the grip of China and Iran (hezbollah was part of Maduro's coalition), taken back control of the Panama Canal from China and back into western hands and decapitated Iran with our strong ally Israel. The GCC countries are now lining up with us against Iran and China is left trying to negotiate with Iran to stop the war because they are running out of fuel.
Then there's Cuba which is now slipping away from the communists and NATO as we knew it is pining for the fjords. That's just some of the highlights of a massive shift in global alignment. Just the other day the president of Costa Rica said she is going full Buekle and Chile has a new rightwing president.

Every one of those tankers has $100-$200 million in oil.
At market rate.
China was getting it for like $50 million or less.
Often as trade for military hardware.
That 50-75% energy savings was--with their slave labor--what made "manufacture in China" so cheap.
Everything in China will now cost 50% more.
Few are calculating the effect or even the realization of that, that China's whole economy, already sinking, just suffered a fatal blow.

NO Us sitting president has ever attended a live Supreme Court oral argument in the 235 year history of the Supreme Court. The US Congress created a US monarchy, centralizing federal power to Trump who rules the US by Decrees.
He truly believes he is a King.
If he's lucky, he'll only fall asleep. He's also at risk of shitting himself, having a dementia outburst and telling random blondes they're hot, etc.
this could be really stupid by Trump. There's no valid legal question for SCOTUS to consider, so there’s a decent chance this case is only being heard because it’s an easy way for them to deliver a loss to him.
Roberts is obsessed with the court's image, so two cases in the term go against the administration seems like a thing he’d do
If Trump wins, any of us could be in danger of deportation. All they have to do is say our birth citizenship was obtained by fraud or was invalid at birth.

The term "living off others" can be paraphrased or rephrased in various ways, depending on the context. Here are some alternative phrases and synonyms for "living off others":
Parasite: A person who lives off the resources or support of others, often without contributing anything in return.
Sponge: A person who relies on others for support, often without giving anything in return.
Exploiter: A person who takes advantage of others for personal gain, often at the expense of others.
Manipulator: A person who uses others to achieve their own goals, often at the cost of others.
Narcissist: A person who uses others for their own benefit, often at the expense of others.
These terms capture the essence of someone who relies on others for sustenance or support, often without reciprocation. They highlight the idea of dependency and the potential for exploitation in relationships.

Part II of the Adam Smith famous quote:
Nobody but a beggar chuses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens. Even a beggar does not depend upon it entirely. The charity of well-disposed people, indeed, supplies him with the whole fund of his subsistence. But though this principle ultimately provides him with all the necessaries of life which he has occasion for, it neither does nor can provide him with them as he has occasion for them. The greater part of his occasional wants are supplied in the same manner as those of other people, by treaty, by barter, and by purchase.

Fox News’ Will Cain EXPOSES Birthright Citizenship: “Reports of foreign wealth being used to manipulate the system. One Chinese billionaire reportedly has more than 100 U.S.-born children through surrogacy. The idea: build a future family and business succession plan. Some clients, by the way, request up to 100 babies via multiple surrogates. It can cost as much as $200K per child… Also, surrogacy is illegal in China. Nearly 41% of international surrogate parents in the U.S. are Chinese.”
“Juan Carlos Valencia González… was born in Santa Ana, California, in 1984. His parents were from Mexico. He happens to also be the stepson of ‘El Mencho,’ the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. And now he is reportedly leading that very same cartel.”

The existing system does not lend itself to major change, critters like Eyepatch realize this quickly and determine that the only thing they can really do materially is feather their own beds.
Critters with little honor and integrity go that route, critters with higher orders of honor and integrity, don't stick around long.
There is a subset of those without honor and integrity but also do not have the ability to feather their own beds very well. Guys like Flake come to mind.

"No Kings." The bitter joke that half of our political class and many of the builders of 'civil society,' along with some millions (in total) in our streets - joined by the clown show that is now much of Europe - march for, practically begging attachment to a continent that has never shed its now symbolic kings & queens and its embedded social classes, even as it becomes a New Europe (links above).

Daily Tech News 1 April 2026
Top Story
- Anthropic's Claude Code developer tool leaked. (Dev.To)
Which... Well, so what? You can download it. Countless thousands of people have. I have. Anyone who wanted to put in the effort to pick it apart could have done so.
Anthropic left a debug option set it one release and that made all the source files visible, but that just made it easier.
The real brains - Anthropic's AI models like Sonnet and Opus - run safely on their servers and haven't leaked anywhere.
If you're interested though it's available on GitHub.
- If you want to run your own LLM and not just local tools that talk to a remote server somewhere Bonsai from PrismML might be of interest. (PrismML)
Because the 1.7 billion parameter model runs in 240MB of memory - yes, M, not G - and churns through 130 tokens per second on an iPhone 17.
Which uses noticeably less power than a rack full of high-end graphics cards.
Bonsai 8B uses 1.15GB of RAM.
While it doesn't lead in test scores, it's being tested against 16GB models, which require an entirely different class of hardware. It would be interesting to see how a 70 billion parameter model would perform on the same tests if it's possible to perform the same trick - quantising the model down from half-precision (16 bits) per parameter to 1 bit with error correction.
Tech News
- The IRGC has issued threats not just against the US and Israel and the Arab world - that's old hat - but now against Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, IBM, Cisco, and Tesla. (Tom's Hardware)
Gotta warn you guys, Tesla has a friend with a global lock on orbital space lasers. Might want to tread carefully.
- Fujitsu is developing a new AI processor - an NPU - aimed at the upcoming 1.4nm process node. (Tom's Hardware)
That's not the interesting part.
The interesting part is that this will be manufactured at the Rapidus plant in Hokkaido. With Rapidus ramping up production Japan has leapt directly from 40nm chip fabrication to 2nm, largely catching up with Taiwan, Korea, and the United States, and leaving China trailing behind.
- Looks like we won't be rid of OpenAI just yet. (Tech Crunch)
They just raised $122 billion. Apparently from wealthy masochists.
- GMKtec's new Evo T2 mini-PC is now shipping with Intel's Panther Lake CPU and it's class-leading graphics performance coupled with 64GB of soldered RAM. (Liliputing)
Just two problems: First, it costs $1899, and the Minisforum model I bought around Christmas cost about $600. Sure, the integrated graphics on that model are a lot slower than Panther Lake, but not that much slower. (This site suggests the difference is around 25%.)
Second, it's out of stock.

It depends on the language and how it treats lists. I cut my programming teeth on BASIC, which usually (on the hardware I had available, at least) started with 1. Most later scripting languages either started with 0 (Perl, Python, C, really everything except…) or didn’t have sequential-number indexed lists (PHP).

What is considered AI programming changes over time; I suspect few professionals would consider Eliza to be AI programming today; I suspect at least some of Clippy’s developers considered its pattern-matching to be rudimentary AI at the time.

Another interesting thing. The left-wing media in Japan has shamed them over Fukushima, the nuclear accident after the tsunami. They were told everyone hates them because of this. So the biggest consequence so far of our new meat friendship is their discovery that we don't hate them over Fukushima.
My guess is that the left started the anti-nuclear power plant psyop in order to give China and communist countries in advantage over us. And so we have made barely any progress in this, and the Japanese have been struggling against the same headwinds.
So if you haven't done it yet, get some photos of thick slabs of sirloin cooking on the grill, and head over to X to talk to your newest best friends in Japan. They want to hear from you.

What is considered AI programming changes over time; I suspect few professionals would consider Eliza to be AI programming today; I suspect at least some of Clippy’s developers considered its pattern-matching to be rudimentary AI at the time.

I'm a Project Manager and one thing that every Project Manager needs are tools to run their projects, my current company lacks the necessary tools, my previous company had a robust tool set, my previous company was acquired by my new company and the first they did was mothball the tools under the guise of they were in the process of developing swell tools, that was 10 years ago, so 6 months ago I finally snapped and took matters into my own hands.
So the idea behind the Influence scatter plot is that every project has important people at various levels of influence and authority that you have to deal with and communicate with, the scatter plot give a visual representation of who's important an what level of influence they have. It's actually pretty neat.

These kids need to take some lessons from MoMe attendees. Party hard, but leave the place better than you found it! $5 Million Mansion Rented on Airbnb for Small Private Event, Vandalized by 800 Partying Teens
When Kishore Karlapudi saw his beautiful mansion in Celina, Texas, rented on Airbnb for a party of seven people, he never imagined it would be invaded and vandalised by hundreds of teenagers looking for a good time. Karlapudi doesn’t live in the mansion himself, but instead rents it out on Airbnb for passive income. He never imagined that he could become the victim of some teenagers looking for a place to stage the mother of all parties. “Somebody booked it, saying they needed the property for a party of seven people,” Kishore Karlapudi told Fox4 News. According to Celina Police Chief John Cullison, that small party of seven swelled to between 500 and 800 people after the event was advertised on social media. On the evening of March 21, police started receiving calls about a massive gathering at the mansion, followed by reports of gunshots being heard on the property. “We started getting the 911 calls with the shots fired. We also got a call that there was 10 men at the front gate, and they had guns, and they were threatening to kill someone. So, this of course amped our officers up just a bit to make sure we go inside and keep everybody safe,” Chief Cullison said. “But it wasn’t until they went inside and they actually realized how vast this party was.”More at the link, including 2 video segments. ----- Did you know there are some snakes that have an internal gauge for their level of poison? You do now! These snakes steal poison from their prey—here's how they know they have enough
Red-necked keelback snakes are highly toxic—mere drops of their pungent yellow poison could blind a mongoose and stop its heart within minutes. But the snakes don’t make that toxin themselves; rather, they steal it from the poisonous toads they eat. After a red-necked keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus) eats a true toad (a member of the Bufonidae family), the snake’s intestines soak up the toxic bufadienolide molecules from the amphibian’s skin. The toxins are then shuttled into more than a dozen pairs of storage pockets in the snakes’ necks called nuchal glands. Then the snakes act fearless. They rise and jut their necks at mongooses and other would-be predators as if to say, “Go ahead—I dare you.” That brazen attitude doesn’t last, though. If dinner has been nontoxic recently—poison-free frogs or fish, for example—these reptiles often hurriedly slither away.Snakes are equal parts creepy and cool to me. How about you? ----- In the market for a super cool vintage car? Here's one to consider. Son Inherited Dad's 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T, Now Selling Because It Holds Too Many Memories
This Coronet spent almost its entire life with the same man who picked it up from the dealership and drove it home. It remained in the family after his passing, but the son has decided to let it go for a simple reason. It holds too many memories, so someone else must cherish the car now. That's why it's here. This Coronet R/T is looking for a new home, and while it's not a spotless specimen, it's worth knowing the car has never been restored or altered. I would still inspect it personally before making an offer to check if all of these are true, but at first glance, this Coronet just seems to check all these big boxes. Dodge offered a little something to every Coronet buyer in 1968. It started with the Coronet Deluxe, which was the most affordable configuration but also came with a six-cylinder 225 standard. A 273ci V8 unit was optional if buyers wanted a little bit more power. The Coronet 440 also started with a six, but the engine options went all the way up to the 440ci with 375 horsepower. The Coronet 500 was next with a standard 318 and more options, including the popular 383, followed by the almighty R/T. The Coronet R/T was all about the power delivered by its engine and the mix of upgrades inside the cabin, and buyers could choose either the standard 440 or the 426 Hemi. The Hemi was the engine to get if power was the main objective, but it's not a secret that this engine configuration was ridiculously expensive. It featured dual-quad carburetors and delivered 425 horsepower, so some buyers didn’t care and still ordered the engine, no matter the price. This Coronet R/T was and still is equipped with a 440ci V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.The vehicle is up for online auction.
The top bid at the time of writing is $19,100, but it's expected to increase significantly, as the Coronet seems to get impressive attention lately. *** The car is parked in Chicago, Illinois, and if you don't want to pay more for shipping, you should be able to drive it home on its wheels.----- Hope the owner of this wallet isn't a Hordeling.

The Coronet 440 also started with a six, but the engine options went all the way up to the 440ci with 375 horsepower. The Coronet 500 was next with a standard 318 and more options, including the popular 383, followed by the almighty R/T. The Coronet R/T was all about the power delivered by its engine and the mix of upgrades inside the cabin, and buyers could choose either the standard 440 or the 426 Hemi.

What a selection of excellent engines.
How many engine options did you have on your last purchase? How many options today?

Okay, probably not.
He played with KISS. He did some guitar work on Creatures Of The Night and was the official lead guitarist on Lick It Up before leaving and doing time albums with his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
Hasn't done shit since.
Apparently he has a "new" (recorded in 1990) album called Guitarmageddon. Wants to sell it for $2 million.
No, really. $2,000,000 dollars. American.
Or $200,000 dollars per track.
I think Vinnie might be a bit on the crazy side.

I don't care if they are non-poisonous and eat rats.
The 5' black snake of our front hedge in FL did not eat rats. It is a myth. He/she hung out there to scare me. We still had a roof rat that also missed the myth memo. He also once got in the garage with me, as I had to go out the garage door to check the mail and he was waiting for me. This was not good but he left.
We had a dry winter, lack of snow and cold weather, and I am positive it's going to be a snake filled spring and summer.

Pablo Neruda was the Chilean Communist poet laureate of Chile, well known for his open rhyme poems like the one against Anaconda Copper and United Fruit. He was considered for Salvador Allende's vice president, but demurred as he was dying of cancer when Allende was elected.
Personally I think his poetry sucked, but then I hate Maya Angelou as well, so perhaps I am bigoted.

The lack of a Year Zero with the traditional AD/BC count is a problem for the arithmetic (think Julian date conversions and similar). The standard astronomical dating system sets 1BC as the year 0. So a year of N BC is the year 1 - N.
Now, when you do that, the question of when a century (or decade) begins depends on whether you start at 0 or 1, a classic off by 1 type of thing. It depends on just what convention you want to use.

I want them all dead and if they scare me I ask for their murder and my man does it for me. If I am weeding in my gardens they don't have the right to visit me until they pay property taxes. And then must wear bells to warn me if they want to live.

But with your birth, you start counting at zero, not one. Your first year you age is 0. You don't turn 1 until 1 year after your birth. Your age is the number of integer years you've attained.
With the AD/BC system, there is no Year 0. This would be as if you counted your age as 1 when you were born.
The Romans, with their inclusive counting system, probably thought of things this way.

I understand that during the Mission Statement portion of the meeting a number of the Romans became rather agitated at the goings-on.
One of the them was so pissed off he jumped up and hollered "Oh, for Christ's sake!!"
That was uncomfortable for everyone.

This was a worry of mine in college. I'd bring my bike home on the plane (there were boxes for bikes) and ride country roads. I honestly worried they'd wrap themselves in the bike spikes to mess with me. They are out to get me.
I'd lift my legs for this as well (think Butch Cassidy riding bike scene).
I don't know why lifting my legs in boats and on bikes was going to work, but it was what I did. These water snakes are monsters.Huge and ugly.

We base our calendar, for right or wrong, off the birth of Christ.
If you were born on December 25, 1997 (because you're obviously 29), how many years old were you on December 28, 1997? None. Zero years old. On December 28, 0000 Jesus was zero years old. (Yes, I get the whole arbitrary birth date argument).
From December 25, 0000 until December 24, 0000, Jesus was zero years old. On December 25, 0001, Jesus was 1 year old.
There was, in fact, a year zero. Centuries begin on the zeros.

When Christ was born is not known. There are a lot of theories, and some interesting astronomical alignments (the meaning of the Star of Bethlehem, just what was it).
The "consensus of experts" is 6 - 4 BC, although the max range is 6 to 1 BC. There was some Star of Bethlehem conjunction theory I really liked that put it 2BC, IIRC.

I was more concerned about the Year Zero bug, and all the work we had had to do to fix it. When the world didn't come to an end on 01/01/2000 00:00:00 GMT, I didn't give a damn what century I was in.
Still, I remember the debates over when the third millenium began. Some people got really bent out of shape over it. My feeling is, beginning a century on the zero year is OK, if you accept that the first century AD had only 99 years. Since nobody from that time is still around to complain -- and in fact, nobody from that time had any idea they were living in the first century, since the BC/AD system of numbering years was devised a few centuries later -- I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
That being said, when a question like that comes up on a quiz, it's best to avoid the obvious answer.

We could go on the cruise, too, but don't think we'd like the cruise life. I know for sure the plumbing would go out and everyone would get Norovirus if we went. So we say bon voyage and miss them instead.

She called me up at work convinced there was a "ball o' rattlers" rolling around in the crawl space. she was hysterical.
I told her to call an extermination company and have them come in and look for them.
When I got home all the windows in the house were open and she had her car with a shop vac hose hooked up to her exhaust and running into one of the crawl space vents.
One of the guys that she used to work with suggested it as a joke thinking she would see he was putting her on. Next big mistake, she took him seriously.

I knew an atheist who insisted Jesus was wrong when he said he would rise on the third day, because he counted Crucifixion Friday as day zero.
No matter how folks tried to explain that Friday was Day 1, Saturday was day 2, and Resurrection Sunday was the third day, he insisted on his numbering system.
I think I'll wander off for a while. I think the stupidity from the Jeopardy contestants is infectious. Like that woman who agreed we need to pay more attention to the Gays of Hormuth.

It’s not really a trick question. It isn’t even a math question. t’s a logic question. It’s counting up the centuries, not marking a particular numerical pattern.
My problem with the “question” is that it’s like all questions on Jeopardy. What they call the question is the answer and what they call the answer is the question. Even Trebek slipped up on the game’s terminology here because of that.
It’s about ten percent of why Wheel of Fortune is the better show.

Being dismissive gets you nowhere. Bet your accountant loves you. Years and pennies are the same as they are things. You don’t get to change math and logic because you want to count something differently.
On my first birthday, it was such because I completed my first set of 365 days and when I completed the second set, I turned 2, and so on.
It’s not hard; you just want to reinvent math because “years are different” when, well, they are not. Next you will try to convince me you can in fact divide by zero.

The numbering system we currently use for years was established retroactively to establish a distinction of BC/AD. It may or may not tie exactly to the birth of Christ.
Regardless - 1 BC was the year before 1 AD. There was no year zero.

I thought there was a statutory-rape court case based on this, but a quick DDGing didn't find it.
Apocryphally, a guy slept with a girl on the day before her 18th birthday, and argued she was "18 years old" and thus legal at that point.
On the day before your Xth birthday, you've lived in 365.26-times-X days, which is 1-times-X years. So on the day before your 18th birthday, you've "lived 18 years" and are 18 years old. And you're actually 18-years-and-a-day old on your 18th birthday.
I suppose a case like that really just shows that "the law is an ass," in that drawing any line where "you have personal agency only after this date" means there's a nanosecond where you don't have agency, followed by a nanosecond where you do. And your nerves don't fire fast enough for there to have been any change between those two nanoseconds. Nevermind the idea that even a full day would change a person that much. And it doesn't matter if it's having sex, signing a contract, driving a car, getting a job, or whatever "agency" you're gaining. But laws like that have to exist, so they do.
Posted by: mikeski digs out one fencepost at March 31, 2026 11:13 PM (VHUov)
That's the way we count age. You start at zero. You are not 1 year old until 1 year has passed since your birth. The AD system does not work this way. It starts at 1. This is equivalent to saying you are 1 year old at you birth. The former counts the whole number of years of your age. The latter counts which year of your life you are in.
The AD/BC sequence goes like this:
...2 BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2 AD.... There is no year zero. As I mentioned above the standard Astronomical year convention is to use 1BC as the year zero. 2BC is thus -1, 3BC is -2, etc. It makes the arithmetic work out much nicer when converting between calendar dates and counts of days since epoch (or seconds or whatever).

Again, this is not a sensible argument. You're twisting speech with facts.
If I'm born February 1,1997 (because I'm 29), this year I'm not celebrating my 29th BIRTHday. I'm celebrating the 29th anniversary of my birth.
Go back to the comment about cardinal and ordinal numbering.
For the first 364 days of your life, you are NOT one year old.

That is the wrinkle in the astronomical calendar year system. Now, you could use proleptic Gregorian all the way back to time immemorial, but that would mess up historical dates before the Gregorian went into effect. Now, many countries didn't adopt it until much later (looking at you Great Britain). So they decided to used proleptic Julian before Oct 15, 1582, and Gregorian thereafter.
That puts a nasty little discontinuity in there of 10 dates that don't exist. But there's no way around this really.

This was different from the century problem. It was a pattern problem. Programmers were using the final two digits of the 1900s to indicate what part of the 1900s the date was in. When the first two digits failed to be 19, this pattern failed.
Perl had the most interesting and passive aggressive way of handling this. The language’s designers redefined the pattern to be math instead. So that the built in year value went from 99 to 100 rather than from 99 to 00. Which meant that code assuming the original pattern would start showing up as “19100” instead of “1900”.

400 year Gregorian cycle. This estimates the tropical year as 365.2425 mean solar days. Julian estimated it 365 1/4. Even then, the Hellenistic astronomer who worked out the Julian calendar, Sosigenes of Alexandria, knew that was off a smidge, but figured it was good enough for govt. work.
AS of epoch J2000 the tropical year was 365.24217 mean solar days. That's 365.2421897 ephemeris days.
And the tropical year, on this leg of the current Milankovitch cycle is getting slightly short, and day is getting longer long term. The Gregorian will be off by one day seasonally a little before expected if that all remained constant. We don't have to worry about until around the year 4000 or so.

From a guitar player point of view AC/DC is great because you need so minimal gear to reproduce their tone. A gibson guitar, a PAF type pickup, and an old marshall amp. Done, no fancy toys, no crazy effects or processing. Guitar, amp, chord. Done. First real band I was ever in did a shitload of AC/DC, and all I needed was those 3 things, and as time went by and more and more metal bands became popular I found myself needing more and more shit. That AC/DC band was the lightest I ever traveled.

I was just reviewing the history of the AD system. It was devised by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus in what we call the year 525 AD. The Julian calendar was being used, but the year number was based on the Diocletian era numbering.
He was working out a revised method of Easter computations, and reckoned that was the 525th year since the birth of Christ. He didn't really explain how he came up with that.
Note how neat it made leap years numbers work out, evenly divisible by 4. This is equivalent to making 1BC a leap year, and then 4 AD. There is no evidence he did this on purpose, really, and it could be a happy coincidence.
Imagine how complicated it would be if there were an offset.

It was brought to my attention that the Insurance Companies, in particular, State Farm, have been absolutely horrible to people that have been paying them large Premiums for years, only to find that when tragedy struck, these horrendous Companies were not there to help!
I have asked the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, to give me a list of the Companies who acted swiftly, courageously, and bravely in order to make their clients happy and, even more importantly, in order to fulfill their Legal obligations. Likewise, I have asked to see those Companies that were particularly bad. The names of some surprise me, but in the World in which we live, nothing really surprises me! State Farm, and others, should get their act together, and treat people fairly. The Government is looking into this matter as we speak! President DONALD J. TRUMP

That was to correct the seasonal drift in the Julian calendar to make the mean equinox fall on Mar. 21 (this date is the official ecclesiastical equinox for Easter purposes, not the actual astronomical event).
The Julian calendar overestimates the tropical year, and the drift works out to about 3 days per 400 years. The equinox had drifted about 10 days earlier by that time.
And note they were correcting it back to the equinox of the First Council of Nicaea (325 AD), not all the way back to the start of the Julian calendar -- this has caused some confusion.

Polyethylene, which makes up the vast bulk of throwaway plastics, is just carbon and hydrogen. In free air, it burns sooty because it consumes all the oxygen in the air immediately in contact with the burning surface. Fuel oil burns sooty for the same reason. Burn it in a closed vessels, with forced air, and it burns clean.
The plastic you don't want to burn is PVC (vinyl) because it contains chlorine, and burning releases choking phosgene gas, COCl2, which is nasty. But an incinerator equipped with heavy-duty scrubbers should handle it.

Speaking of equinoxes and calendars and Easter. Today, April 1, is the full moon, the first full Moon of astronomical spring. In the Injun moon naming system, which we colonists culturally appropriated (and made logical), this is the Pink Moon. It's also the Paschal Moon, the one that sets the date of Easter. Passover also begins.
Besides correcting the solar part, the Gregorian reform also corrected the lunar calendar, so the calculated full Moon corresponds to the astronomical one pretty closely, and will for some time.
The Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar and the older lunar calendar. The full Moon there has drifted a few days from the astronomical event.

Its a heritage springer softail. I don't think they made a lot of them, because you never really see them. They are the closest thing styling wise to a 1948 panhead. Put it this way, I only ever saw one in the shop. Seen some on the road here and there over the years, but only had one come in the shop. I worked on 3 since the late 90's. I have a regular springer softail, but they are more like what a chopped panhead would look like with the 21" front wheel and smaller fenders. The heritage springer has real old world styling with the full fenders and fatter front tire. The springer front end just looks great. They stopped making springer softails in 2006.

They were a popular band with Bon Scott. They took off in the stratosphere with Brian Johnson. Would they have done that had Bon Scott not drunk himself to death? Maybe. Sometimes a band lurks around popularity for years and then turn into the biggest thing ever, overnight. The music industry is a fickle bitch.

The trick to get that tone is use older non master volume marshal amps and plug into the low input and use a boss overdrive pedal. Or use a 2203 100 watt, or 2204 50 watt master model with the over drive. Priest used the old 4 input non master volume heads. Thats how they did it.

It's now April 1 here in the World's Finest Time Zone (albeit Daylight Saving adjusted). Call it 11pm instead.
Thirty-two years ago, as the clock turned over from March to April, our little family of five completed our journey in the old Suburban, moving from Chicago to Oklahoma, where we began our new life.
It was a rough transition, preceded and followed by some less-than-optimal choices, but we've never regretted leaving the Windy City behind. It was MiladyJo's birthplace; she had family there (now almost all gone or like us moved away) and with her family's support and her city wisdom, we had a pretty good fourteen years there, but the kids were becoming teens and it was 'way past time to go rural and red state.
Lots of changes in 32 years, but still happy to be here.

Nada, this calendar did not exist then. Which kind of suggests that the trivia question is BS too.
The first day of the first century was January 1 in the first year of our Lord, i.e. 1 AD, when Jesus was possibly about four years old (the start of the Christian Era was misdated by as much as 4 years). This is true whether or not anyone knew it or not. It is like saying Solomon’s Temple fell in 586 BC. How did they know it was BC? They didn’t, but that is when it fell.

Once you're over 29, and the medical crap starts arriving almost daily for yourself and/or spouse, it becomes a real chore to sort out if you don't do it *as soon as it arrives*

yeah not so new, its 29 years old, but near mint. I think Mrs B has designs on our usual 2 rider bike since this new one will be the 2 rider bike now. I think she wants the usual one set up for her to ride, one she can call hers. Which means a lowering kit, and different handle bars that fit her, and it can never really be a 2 rider bike after that. Once it's lowered it couldn't handle the weight of 2 riders. I think its why she didn't bat an eye with this new one, she wants the other one. We had it for 34 years, and its done 8 of the 10 sturgis trips. Its been totally reliable. I couldn't bring myself to sell it anyway. Its best she gets it.

Yeppers - am in insurance and was working for a major insurer at the time - in NY. I was an early "this is BS" flag thrower on that one. Despite that, we waited patiently on the NYE, along with a friend who ran JP Morgan's Financial Data Capture/booking system who was over our house for a celebration, just in case our emergency phones started ringing. (Narrator * they didn't because it was all bullsh*t") Crazily enough, I just came across a Y2K endorsement (excluding Y2K related losses) on a policy that was being renewed here in Singapore. I had to do a double take and then I went an scorched the broker who hadn't taken that off the policy 25 years ago. Also - I remember arguing, futilely with everyone that the millennium did not start until 1 January 2001 - hence I go the jeopardy question correct.

I was just looking at the Artemis countdown timeline. NASA will stream this on their Youtube channel. Other streamers will likely being doing their feeds as well. Anyway, the main broadcast beings at 12:50 PM.
Tanking operations, if they're a go, will start around 7:45AM, and they may stream some of that, but it will be boring, unless something explodes.
Crew will head to the pad around 1:45PM. Blastoff will be at 6:45PM. Well, that's the scheduled time. There will be a delay, I'm sure. Launch window is 2 hours, so they've got until 8:45PM.

I never gambled much but I won when I went to the horse track betting on straight win place and show tickets. All well less than $50 bucks. Horse racing was the only time I spent an afternoon winning consistently (hit eight out of 12 races in the money). And $2 buck tickets added up to less than $25 dollars for twelve races. Probably won about double the amount I bet that day.
Vegas on a TDY to Nellis AFB, I lost about thirty bucks--a bit on slots, a bit on black jack, a bit on roulette back in the early 90's. Enough to say I did it. Dog track I would go with friends, get a few beers, and spend about $20 bucks for an evening including refreshments. Rarely won on those two buck tickets.
Never been cared enough anymore to gamble after my youth.

Mangos are related to poison ivy and poison oak, and contain urushiol, the substance that causes irritation, rash and itching. So if you have a sensitivity or an allergy you can get what is essentially a case of poison ivy in your mouth and throat from eating mango.

Spain's shift to "renewable" or "clean" energy has meant that its energy prices ain't so bad. Because they don't rely on Gulf LNG like a lot of Europe.
Their energy bills might be high, but they won't be shockingly high. Also Spain has a lot of empty land with sunlight; it's comparable to the high plains of the US.
Solar makes sense there, maybe wind too. Not Germany so much.
This explains why Spain doesn't care about the war and is free to thumb its nose at the US. Also maybe explains why Trump is shaming Britain and France to step up (and probably should shame Germany), and can't touch Spain.

Gas powered turbines have "momentum", so when they run out of fuel they take awhile to spin down. If the solar is out and there isn't spare battery power, the power goes out right away.

For a more sobering appraisal,
"Spain's solar sector faces a dual crisis of oversupply and grid instability, characterized by severe economic losses for developers and a catastrophic grid failure in April 2025. Overproduction has driven wholesale electricity prices to zero or negative levels for significant portions of the day, causing project valuations to plummet from €200,000 to as low as €28,000 per megawatt. Simultaneously, the April 28, 2025 blackout, which plunged 55 million people in Spain and Portugal into darkness, exposed vulnerabilities in the grid's ability to handle high renewable penetration without sufficient inertia."
Posted by: whig at March 31, 2026 08:42 PM (E4rtv)
Key issues driving these problems include:
Grid Inertia Deficit: The heavy reliance on solar and wind, which use grid-following inverters, left the system without the physical inertia needed to stabilize frequency, causing cascading failures when generation was lost.
Curtailment and Financial Loss: Grid operator Red Eléctrica has issued curtailment orders to shut down solar plants during peak production, often without compensation, while limited export capacity to France prevents the surplus from being sold abroad.
Regulatory and Bureaucratic Barriers: Slow permitting processes and a lack of regulated markets for ancillary services like voltage control have stalled the deployment of necessary battery storage, which is critical for managing the energy glut.
Legacy Policy Risks: The industry still grapples with the long-term impact of the "sun tax" and retroactive subsidy cuts from the 2008-2012 era, which created lasting distrust among investors and homeowners.
While the government aims to double solar capacity to 76GW by 2030, the sector is currently in a "freefall" with a forecasted slowdown in new projects for 2026.

Grid instability caused (you see this on a small scale as well in installs if one part of the solar array is generating more power than another part (shaded, dirty, whatever), the whole system then defaults (unless you have micro inverters for every several panels) to a lower energy output.
In a large grid, variable power supplies like solar or wind need substantial backup to keep the grid stable, avoid voltage spikes or sags, and to keep the frequency (50 hz IRRC in Euroland) from deviating. That means you need power sources that can spin up immediately when the power from variable sources start dropping (and some means of dumping excess power which is a bit easier). That means usually natural gas generators as battery storage is insufficient in Spain at this time to do it. Nukes, coal, and I think oil, generators take a fair chunk of time to come online.

Dunno. I think the French themselves have not been building much and the Germans now are a big customer of French nuke power after shutting down their own and cutting off their gas supplies from Russki land.
I think large arrays of either solar or wind are a mistake versus smaller scale backup units at homes where it could serve as redundancy for the main grid without causing as much problems with instability.

The following is a spoiler but it's so old I'm making the command decision a spoiler is ok.
So in Crichton's book of the same name that it was based on at the end he uses the neat literary device of the untrustworthy narrator. Based on how the end is narrated and the dialog between the main characters coming up to the surface you know that the chick character has accessed the sphere and is now controlling everything, every aspect of reality. Everything on earth, humanity, all of that portion of the universe is now screwed. Because the woman is mental. And really, no one could have that ability and not screw everything up. But definitely not her. But the movie erases all of that.
At the end of the movie it's all great, no one has the power, lets just tie it all up with a nice little bow. - FIN -

For most National Parks, there is a book that describes various deaths that took place in each park. Death in Yellowstone is one (horrible tales of people boiling in the thermal pools or eaten by grizzlies.). I find these and read before going somewhere. Those are manuals of what not to do. Sometimes, people just had bad luck. But mostly, the deaths were dumb and avoidable. I may become a victim of Mr. Darwin yet. Better than sitting at home getting old.

The states run these elections.
If they want to use the U.S. Postal Service, they're going to get a barcode from the USPS, and they're going to put that on the envelope, and we will have one envelope per vote — none of this stuff where there's no certainty.

One time my daughter and I hiked up the trail past Lake Louise in Banff. At the beginning, next to the lake where the trail is a paved path, was a group of people learning ropes to descend a cliff. Novices and trainers I'm guessing. One guy was in trouble about 40 feet up, and was starting to shout. Maybe his strength was failing and he thought he was going to fall. I felt kind of bad for the guy. I don't know how they got him down, I assume there is some obvious or established way of doing that.

The Israeli government is about to pass a law mandating the death penalty, only for Palestinian prisoners. Mass execution by hanging, solely on racial lines. This is apartheid and the next step in the genocide of Palestinians, already systematically tortured in Israeli prisons.

I was fired from Anthropic today.
I was the engineer responsible for shipping the latest dev/claude-code npm package. Wanting to improve the debugging experience for the team, I decided to include source maps in the release. This resulted in our entire internal codebase being publicly exposed including thousands of files with every agent command, all system prompts, the complete query engine, Undercover Mode, Bypass Permissions Mode, and our internal telemetry configuration.
I take full responsibility. I genuinely believed the safeguards Claude Code had built for me would be adequate and it was a serious miscalculation on my part.
My actions have unintentionally open-sourced major parts of Claude’s architecture well ahead of schedule. I apologize to the team and to Claude.

The ones making a deal now are the ones who are willing to accept not having the IRGC control them, having neighboring countries not invade them, being paid retail for their oil on the open market, and only having to worry about governing in a manner to keep the populace from executing them out of hand like their name was Ceausescu.

Sometimes I think there's a tendency to think Trump is some kind of actor or cartoon figure because of his personality. To be honest, I didn't he was really serious when he first entered the race in 2015. I was wrong on that one. Bigly.
And then they decided to crush him and everyone around him. Then they stole his reelection. Then they tried to throw him in prison and bankrupt him. Then they tried to kill him. Twice.
He knows better than we do what the stakes are and more importantly what the situation is in Iran right now. And all he does every single day is fight. Why would anyone think, yep, he's right on the verge of victory so this is exactly when he's going to blow it?
Besides, he's turned Hegseth into a machine and he's got to keep feeding him.

Yeah, but he needs to be careful with that, too. Our military is nowhere near what it was even in the 1990s from a personnel standpoint, we have a lot of aging platforms that will need to be replaced, the ones we do have are WAY too small in number for the demand placed on them, and the reality is that we really need to get serious about ramping up our drone warfare capabilities.
You still need a mixed force (a big reason the war in Ukraine is mostly a stalemate is because neither side has air superiority), but we have a whole generation of Zoomers that grew up with dual stick video game controllers in their hands. Do a deal with Zelensky to provide him with Patriots in exchange for drones, and we can get moving on that. And lets get real, Ukraine is proving itself to be FAR more capable of being a decent ally than western Europe right now. They're fighting a brutal four-year war and STILL sent dozens of advisors and equipment to the Middle East to fight back against Iran's drones.

More details on the super-profesh Secret Service agent who shot himself in the ass:
More:
Attorney General Pamela Bondi
@AGPamBondi Today @TheJusticeDept sued the state of Minnesota for allowing boys to play in girls' sports and use girls' locker rooms. This DOJ acknowledges biological reality and we refuse to let high school girls be subjected to this treatment. It's not only unfair -- it's deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Proud to partner with @SecKennedy and @EdSecMcMahon on this important litigation.
The vile Daily Mail published a straight-up hoax, claiming the bullets recovered from Charlie Kirk's body did not match those from Tyler Robinson's gun. This is a lie. The bullet broke into pieces. It could not be matched to any gun because it is shattered and deformed. (It also couldn't be excluded as a match to Tyler Robinson's gun -- due to the poor shape of the bullet, tests are "inconclusive," as they often are.) But the Daily Mail is thirsty for clicks, so they lied:
The Department of Justice announced a lawsuit Monday against Minnesota and the state's high school sports league for allowing boys to compete in girls' sports. According to the DOJ, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) have engaged "in sex-based discrimination by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designated exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls." In doing so, MDE and MSHSL have openly defied Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding, the DOJ said in a press release. "The Justice Department cannot ignore a state's brazen defiance of federal antidiscrimination law," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. "In service of radical gender ideology, Minnesota's actions violate Title IX and deny female athletes their hard-earned trophies, records, dignity, and safety." The lawsuit highlights the story of Marissa Rothenberger, a biological male who pitched for the girls' varsity softball team as a junior at Champlin Park High School. Rothenberger threw multiple shutouts, including a complete-game shutout in the Class 4A state championship game, leading the Rebels to the 2025 title. The performance prompted federal investigations into Minnesota's compliance with Title IX and drew criticism from female athletes who said they were displaced or put at a disadvantage.
Megan BashamI will no longer link to this outlet. If I have to quote one of their articles, I'll just say it's from the Daily Mail with no link. Ever wonder why Israel always has thousands of terrorists in jail that they have to release every other year because Hamas and Hezballah take a bunch of civilians hostage? Ever wonder why Israel just doesn't kill them? Well Israel is wondering about that too, and the left is -- get this -- outraged!
@megbasham 20h This is clickbait trash and completely discrediting to the @DailyMail. Spoke to a LEO who told me fragmentation that makes it impossible to get a match to ANY weapon happens all the time. Yet the Daily Mail is echoing Tyler Robinson's defense team nearly verbatim. They did NOT quote a single law-enforcement officer not connected to Robinson's defense who would've given their readers a better understanding of what's happening here. They're purely leaning into this because they know there are a bunch of rabid conspiracy theorists who will not take the time to understand this. Which makes the Daily Mail and its reporter scum in my book.

This is a lie. The bullet broke into pieces. It could not be matched to any gun because it is shattered and deformed. (It also couldn't be excluded as a match to Tyler Robinson's gun -- due to the poor shape of the bullet, tests are "inconclusive," as they often are.)

Appellate courts are where Trump is winning. Well over 70 percent of the time. But, as Trump is being more active than any GOP president of any recent vintage, he is drawing a lot of flak from leftists nationwide and DC's rotten borough judges. And Congress sits on its ass despite being run by the GOP supposedly.

They've got six daily opportunities, Apr. 1 - 6, each launch window about two hours long.

Later the blue metal that was killing the clumsier miners was isolated and named "cobalt" in their "honor".
I've been down some pre-1875 mines here and there. Safety standards were nonexistent. Nobody was sweeping the floors of sharp dangerous rubble. And miners tended to be broke-ass sons of bitches, "going down pit" was considered a last resort for people with no income.

Note that Artemis II is a not-quite Apollo 8 mission. Because the SLS is the biggest boondoggle NASA has ever done, which is saying something, the current SLS configuration doesn't have the delta-v/fuel margin to put Orion into lunar orbit and get out and back to earth. So, it's just going to be a free-return figure 8 flyby.
They will go "higher" (farther beyond the Moon) that any Apollo mission did, so they'll set the record for greatest distance humans have been from earth. The return leg will also hit geocentric velocity of a smidge over 25K mph, and beat Apollo 10's return speed record by a little bit as well.
And that's about it.

$93B for the whole thing, SLS and Orion through 2025. And that doesn't include other parts of the boondoggle. The SLS was going to be upgraded to a more powerful second stage. Isaacman has cancelled that, because it wasn't going anywhere, delays and cost overruns. Now, that upgraded SLS (Dubbed Block 1B and Block 2) was going to need a bigger mobile launcher.
Bechtel got the contract for that back in 2019 or sometime. Original cost was to be about $380M and it was supposed to be completed by 2023 or something. Well, as of now, it ain't nowhere near completion, projected cost his $2.7B, and it wouldn't be ready until 2029 at least.....
Isaacman put that out of its misery as well.

They think he's dumb, so that makes them angry and confrontational, and makes them not think very hard about their strategy. And they think he's smart, which confuses the other two thoughts they had.

The goal is to go back to the moon in a few years, though.
I think they want to test the systems first, basically.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at March 31, 2026 07:00 PM (6ydKt)
Orion has possible heat shield problems, and the life support system hasn't really been fully tested. Robert Zimmerman is really worried about that.
I'm not really all that worried about this. That it, I don't think this mission will kill the crew. It could, of course, but I don't think it's as risky as some think. And that's just me, which, well, ain't worth too much.

Note that Artemis II is a not-quite Apollo 8 mission. Because the SLS is the biggest boondoggle NASA has ever done, which is saying something, the current SLS configuration doesn't have the delta-v/fuel margin to put Orion into lunar orbit and get out and back to earth. So, it's just going to be a free-return figure 8 flyby.
They will go "higher" (farther beyond the Moon) that any Apollo mission did, so they'll set the record for greatest distance humans have been from earth. The return leg will also hit geocentric velocity of a smidge over 25K mph, and beat Apollo 10's return speed record by a little bit as well.
And that's about it.

Apollo 8 was something of a lark as well. Such a CSM only lunar orbit mission wasn't originally planned. Trouble was, there were big delays with the lunar module, and the CSM was ready well before the LM would be, and that messed up the planned mission profiles. Somebody his on the idea of a lunar orbit, and it was a hit, giving the famous Earthrise photo, probably one of the most iconic of the Apollo era. They penciled Apollo 8 as a "C-prime" mission, something they just made up on the fly.

The plan is for an actual landing in 2028. I'm not optimistic. Trump admin is really worried the Chicoms may beat us back to the Moon, which would be double not good.
The SLS-Orion is basically sunk-cost fallacy at this point, but killing it would mean a delay, and they worried about that. Can the Chicoms realistically land Chicoms on the Moon before 2030? I have no clue really, but they will not be constrained by worries about safety and all that.

It is really tempting to a lot of people that should know better like cops that the weapons light on the end of the rail is NOT a substitute for a flashlight.
It is to identify targets, not light the back of your trunk up to find something and obviously used as a regular flashlight will violate pointing the gun at something you rather not destroy.
Carry a regular flashlight for light in the darkness, not a weapons light on the end of a pistol or rifle.

Paddle Switch on the back of the unit and the rails are pretty much universal other than length. Obviously smaller units fit compact guns, etc. Usually a flip down or up bilateral switches or on cheaper/inferior units, a button that you press.
Ideally, you want one that will activate and turn off with gross movements, thus a paddle type switch rather than some button you have to press just so.

Yep. But cameras accessible through a smartphone help lessen false alarms and keep monkey temptation to go and look at a minimum.
Also have a perimeter alarm system with motion detectors/glass breakage for areas I or my wife don't frequent at night.
Also holing up in place can allow access to the big artillery rather than a handgun. Shotguns or rifles end the fight quickly versus a relatively underpowered handgun. Easy to point and aim as well.
Clearing a house with such though is something for people that practice it regularly in teams as too easy to get your weapon taken from you doing it yourself.

So, exactly how would one stage a mass execution by hanging? Would sequentially hanging a large cohort of prisoners from the same gallows qualify? Or do you need a multiple-trap gallows? "Ten ropes, no waiting!"

Doing that as a habit means even in the dark, you can check your firearm status by feel without light.
Otherwise trying to reload a revolver with a case stuck in it (common for snubbies btw unless you raise it 90 and punch the ejector rod) or a semi auto not having the chamber cleared can happen in the wrong circumstances and tie up the firearm when you need it most.

- He doesn't set their budget, Congress does. Court HR compiles the budgetary request. It doles out the money appropriated by Congress but can't just decide that it's not paying Joe's court cuz the CJ has beef.
He does set policy but they've ignored actual SCOTUS rulings, what if they ignore policy as well? Oh, that's different. Then he can exactly fuck all.

That's what Issacman is doing. Artemis III was supposed to be actual landing mission. No more. It's going to be an Apollo 9 style test in earth orbit. If Starship HLS is ready, they will launch everything into earth orbit around 2027, and test docking and all that. Elon is also supposed to do an unmanned landing test of HLS on the Moon in 2027 as well.
Since SpaceX is private, they don't have to publicize their progress too much, so I really have no clue how well those HLS plans are going.
Bezos is trying to get in the lunar lander act as well, with their "Blue Moon" lander. The more the merrier, hopefully.

Supreme Court Rules That Free Speech Still Exists; Ketanji Brown Jackson Doesn't Understand
This should have been a 9-0 unanimous decision.
It has been the rule of the land since the founding of the Republic that the Constitution's stricture against passing "any law" limiting speech meant that no government, federal or state, could impose "viewpoint" restrictions on speech -- disfavoring or even criminalizing a specific view, argument, or belief. Now, the Court long recognized that governments may impose "time, place, and manner" restrictions, especially on public gatherings and marches. For example, you can permit a march from 1pm to 3pm, so that the march does not interfere with rush hour traffic. You can tell the marchers they cannot walk in front of active garage entrances. You can tell the marchers they must be orderly and cannot use bullhorns that boost noise above, say, 100 decibels. That kind of thing. But you cannot -- absolutely cannot -- pass a law or deny a permit to march based on your agreement with or disagreement with the speaker's speech. You can regulate speech as far as the time, place, and manner in which it is spoken, but you absolutely cannot regulate what that speech can say. This was the rule controlling government regulation of free speech for 250 years, completely agreed to by all Supreme Court judges. Yes, lefty judges would of course put their thumbs on the scale and claim that some limits on speech they don't like -- like protesting outside abortion clinics -- were fair restrictions regarding "place" rather than viewpoint-based restrictions on pro-lifers, but everyone agreed on the framework for analyzing these cases. Until today. Gentlemen, you asked for a radical incompetent. I give you K. B. J. The Court was nearly unanimous that Colorado cannot ban a therapist from counseling a patient to try to change his sexual orientation. Even "Wise Latina" Sotormayor joined the majority. Obama's Obamacare advisor, who cast a decisive vote on Obamacare, Elena Kagan joined the opinion. But DEI Justice KBJ cast another lonely dissent, essentially repudiating 250 years of jurisprudence on free speech and declaring that sometimes, if the government really really really doesn't like speech and that speech is DoublePlus UnGood and Conservative, it can in fact ban speech based on what viewpoint it advances.Ketanji Brown Jackson has now flipped completely on this question: In an earlier case, she argued that the state had zero power to ban transgender procedures for minors. The state just didn't have the power to intrude into medical advice and treatment, she proclaimed. Now she takes the exact opposite position -- the state has All the Power to outlaw whatever medical advice it dislikes -- based not on law, precedent, or logic, but based simply on her leftwing extremist political bias that whatever gays and transgenders want, they should get, period, the law be damned.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado cannot enforce its so-called "conversion therapy" ban regarding conversations between therapists and minors, saying the law likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others. In an 8--1 decision, the high court said the law favors one viewpoint by allowing therapists to affirm a minor's gender identity or sexual orientation, but not help them to change it if they want to. The decision stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Kaley Chiles, a licensed Christian therapist, who argued her conversations with youth clients were a form of protected speech. The Colorado government had said the conversations amounted to professional conduct that the state was allowed to regulate. ... Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, saying the question before the high court was a "narrow one" and that Chiles did not seek to toss out the Colorado law but rather consider whether it could apply to therapy that was strictly conversational. "The First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country," Gorsuch wrote. "It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth. However well-intentioned, any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an 'egregious' assault on both of those commitments."
In the lone dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the majority "plays with fire in this case" and that she feared "the people of this country will get burned."
Last year, Justice Jackson dissented in the U.S. v. Skremetti case-- in which she argued that states have no right to ban gender transitions on minors.

Let me make an analogy, which illustrates the trajectory of the left. The leftwing propaganda media used to pretend. The leftwing propaganda media plainly favored Democrats -- and plainly favored Democrat constituent blocs like criminals, welfare recipients, women, transgenders, black and "brown" people, and Muslims -- but pretended to be applying neutral "rules" in its news coverage. They didn't intend to favor these groups out of political loyalty, you see, it was just that these completely neutral "rules" compelled them to cover these stories in this way. Now that was always a lie, because there are many contradictory "rules" they can apply in any case, and they choose which of these contradictory rules to apply according to their political bias. And then they deny the bias, lying that a "rule" forced their hand, without admitting that they chose that "rule" precisely because it would result in the outcome they desired. They are too cowardly and dishonest to admit they are simply political operators, so they used to spend a lot of time spamming out perfectly-disingenuous reasons why every single "journalistic" free choice they made just happened to favor the Democrat Party and its constituent blocks. The truth has a leftwing bias, they began saying at the end of the Age of Pretending, before they transitioned to just blatantly promoting the interests of Democrats and Democrat-favored constituent blocs. It began under GWB, with influential Democrats decrying "both sides" and "balanced" coverage, urging "journalists" to just proclaim One Side Is Right and One Side Is Evil, which, of course, they ultimately did. Now they just openly favor and cheerlead the Democrat Party and its constituent blocs, and openly smear Republicans and their constituent blocs (especially white people, males, straight men, and Christians) without any excuse or justification or any pretense whatsoever that they are applying neutral "rules" independent of their own partisan political agenda. Very, very similarly: Leftwing judges used to pretend that they weren't deliberately and consciously favoring Democrats and Democrat constituent blocs but were instead merely applying neutral "rules" that dictated their decisions. True enough, this was all a lie -- just as it was with the media -- and they would choose which supposedly neutral rule would apply in each case to favor the parties they went into the case favoring. But still, they did pretend. They would blatantly mis-characterize and mis-categorize parties in a dispute to elevate the party they politically favored and disadvantaged the party they disfavored, but still, they pretended to be working within a legal framework of analysis. But Ketanji Brown Jackson now does what leftwing "journalists" did before her -- she decides that all of this talk of "rules-based" decisionmaking is just a game that favors the Bad People, so the Good People should just throw out all rules and do what leftists have been doing forever anyway, just ruling in favor of the left's favored constituent groups and ignoring laws and logic to get to whatever outcome the leftists' "conscience" dictates. Yes, she's stupid, and yes, she's chosen this theory of jurisprudence precisely because it rejects intellectual analysis and says "Just do whatever is in your stupid, corrupt communist heart." But she is NOT an aberration. This is where the entire left is now, and all of the absurd decisions you see coming from leftwing judges are following this same theory of jurisprudence, that explicitly puts particular people -- politically favored people -- over principle, and political outcomes over logic and coherence. No longer are we a nation of "laws not men." We are now a nation of particular "men" with specific Favored Identity Points, and the law must always be corrupted, distorted, perverted and twisted to deliver the outcomes favored by those with those Favored Identity Points. And they're not even pretending to work within a system of objective rules any longer. Update: Gorsuch mocked Justice DEI for claiming she wasn't really restricting the therapist's speech because she was allowed to sometimes speak or even "write papers."

Does this type ruling give teachers the "right" to groom "Their Children", just helping them find their inner gender dysphoria? It sounds like that would also be "free speech", though it does amount to "professional conduct" and grooming kids is not part of any classroom (or should not be).

What was at issue was a law banning therapists from talking to gay or trans kids about converting back to their normal and usual sexual orientations and genders.
That’s what Gorsuch was talking about: the law allowed therapists to affirm a gay or tranny’s change in orientation, but not to try to talk them out of it.

I'm reasonably certain that "conversion therapy" is the term used by the left for any therapy that doesn't immediately, unquestioningly and enthusiastically support and affirm a kid's profession of being gay or trans. It's done intentionally because it has nasty connotations of of (allegedly) brutal aversion therapy and behavioral operant conditioning therapy purportedly used on gays in the past, which I don't think even the most stereotypical evangelical right-wing reactionary would support.

I'll agree with that. A lot of people in the north had an "I don't care" attitude about southern slavery but the Dredd Scott decision effectively made them plantation overseers charged with returning "property".

It’s crazy how liberal and far right judges play different games. Kagan and Sotomayor are acting like it’s up to them to make thoughtful and principled rulings and maybe sometimes that means coming down in favor of something they personally disagree with.
Alito and the Handmaid and Justice Brett just decide to invent new law and ignore precedent in service of the fascist project.
And now that therapy is free speech there is no recourse if a therapist decides to start encouraging their clients to kill themselves.
Kagans concurrence is word salad. Jackson's dissent is persuasive.

Suppose a cardiologist starts giving verbal advice to his patients that they should smoke two packs of cigarettes every day. He believes that all the studies showing that cigarettes are harmful were flawed. Other than that, he practices cardiology perfectly. He performs procedures correctly and gives the correct prescriptions. But he still advises two packs a day of unfiltered Lucky Strikes.
Can the state pull his cardiology license? Or does he have a constitutional right to give dangerous medical advice in the course of his practice?
I think the answer is obviously yes, the state can restrict what medical advice he gives.
The difference, and I don't think the opinion addresses this, is that despite what the "expert" consensus may be, issues of sexuality and gender are just too fuzzy to decide that one position is absolutely correct. And so there must be room for differences of opinion.
But it seems preposterous to me that the state could license a physician and then have no control over the care he gives by verbal instructions.

This is marxism - in marxism (and Leftism generally) words are tools, not connected to a rational meaning. You say what you need to say to win. This is critical theory (which started as a legal theory) in action. This is Stalinism in action.
They use words to deceive, not to enlighten. Here, she is just using the laws, and her interns (certainly not her - I think she is illiterate) are trying to use marxist theory to destroy the constitution, one ruling at a time.

Judge number 2. says Trump's EPA, etc. can't remove species from the endangered species list. Judge number 3. says Trump can't defund PBS. Judge number 4 says Trump can't stop paying Fed funds to a state with no control of fraud regarding said Fed funds.

Would work for me. Also, if I knew that we were guaranteed to win the Presidency in 2028 and control the Senate, I'd go with elevating Rogers Brown to the USSC even though she's in her late 70s, just to show the nation that non-leftist black women are good choices for the USSC. Then, when these two are ready for retirement, replace them with Thomas's proteges.

The main point of Kagan, and Sotomayor joining her, is that this protection works both ways. The government cannot stop someone from telling a kid to be straight and their birth sex and the government equally cannot stop someone from telling a kid to be of another sexual orientation or identity.
That is why they agreed with the majority rather than spewing nonsense with Jackson. They want to enshrine government protection of grooming.

Kristi Noem's Husband Is a Not-So-Secret Crossdresser Who Adorns Himself With Ridiculous Fake Breasts
So I was wondering: Why does Kristi Noem feel that she can have a very non-covert, practically overt affair with Corey Lewandowski? She refused to even deny it when asked about it at a congressional hearing.
I'm not being judgey, I'm asking: Why does she think that? Doesn't she worry about the husband finding out? The answer to the latter is "Nah, bruv." She does not worry about a jealous heterosexual husband, not at all. She might worry about her husband stealing her Wonderbras, though. And maybe this also explains why Trump moved so quickly to pack her off to Shield of the Americas Military School.These are the photos that allegedly show Kristi Noem's husband Bryon wearing comically oversized, lopsided breasts -- complete with fake protruding nipples -- to female members of an online fetish community. The Daily Mail obtained "hundreds" of messages purportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband and three women who are involved in the so-called "bimbofication" fetish scene. The kinky community involves people injecting their busts with freakishly large amounts of saline in pursuit of a "Barbie-doll"-like appearance. The pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul, who has three children with Noem, clad in pink hotpants and a skin-tight, flesh-colored crop-top stuffed with enormous balloons made to resemble massive cockeyed breasts. His face is clearly visible in several of the photos, including one in which his expression is so mundane it could be from a driver's license photo. In others he flashes a more flirty "kissy-face" pose in which he's pursing his lips. The outlet spoke with national security experts who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made his wife subject to potential blackmail threats. ... "They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won't expose this, and if you don't, we will. That's espionage 101." Kristi Noem was ousted from her role at DHS on March 5 after a pair of disastrous congressional hearings, including fumbling a question about whether she was having an affair with married top aide Corey Lewandowski.Noem claims the family has been "blindsided" by this. Press X to doubt. Her weird behavior suggests she's been dealing with this for years. See the article for the pictures. This pervert is wearing a shirt, but you can see the fake hooters and their misaligned nipples under the fabric of the shirt. I was going to post one but... eh. I'm not mad at you guys today so I won't do you like that. Piper's tweet has a snap if you must see it. If you don't want to see it: Imagine a seedier version of Hugh Laurie with giant foam-latex breasts with nipples that point the way to Bangor, Maine and Albuquerque, NM simultaneously.

i've hated her since she vetoed a bill to reserve girls sports for girls, just because one of her big corporate donors was a trans extremist.
>>>I really wish Trump would make better decisions on who he hires.
His decisions this term have been better except for Noem, and except for his, I assume, genuine contemplation of appointing Nazi short-eyes Matt Gaetz as director of FBI.
But mostly very solid. A complete 180 from the first term.

Last night, one of the 'Ettes predicted (incorrectly) that 'Rons would be panting all over the prospect of racy photos of Fang Fang coming out in the Swalwell Files. Instead, the general reaction was "Eh, she's average for a Chinese gal. 5 or 6, in context." But clearly, that doesn't stop some of the guys here normally, who appear (as Ace has noted) to be in prison.
I think the difference is that ordinary women are interesting, and 304s are not. You can find photos of above-average 304s by accident, with an innocent search on the wrong terms, and perfect 10s are an easy deliberate query away. But -- this is my hypothesis -- the accidentally famous ordinary woman retains an element of mystery, and that's what incites the interest.

I didn't have a problem with Noem shooting a dog on her ranch. It was a killer and couldn't be trained out of it. It was her putting it in an autobiography and expecting everybody to see it as something cool, an authentic piece of rural life.
This is a recurring theme with her. If she's OK with something, she can't comprehend it being a problem with the public.

I think you are correct, but extend it to any high-stress, more-than-full-time job.
Females in these roles take on the stresses and time sinks of being in traditionally-masculine roles but want to retain their feminine beauty, so they do botox, fillers, surgery, and makeup to cover it all up until the inevitable Tammy Faye look sets in.

Bernie tweeted that he wants to tax billionaires at 5% a year, raise $4.4T every year and give “families” (whatever that even means) a $12k check with the money.
Slight problem is for 5% of a number to be worth 4.4 trillion that number needs to be $880T. Which is about 10X the net worth of all of the billionaires in the country. And then of course the whole and stock market plunging thing as billionaires have to sell stock to pay the tax.

I expect a punt as well. It wouldn't necessarily cause chaos (ex post facto laws are illegal, you cannot penalize something that was legal before the law changed), but I don't see them making that significant a change. Its an obvious one (especially when you read the writings of the original author) but that has never forced them to do the right thing before.

If you have ever watched AK State Troopers on tv, you will begin to understand Wasilla. Most of it deals with Wasilla, because that's where the crazies are.
Also, my address is Wasilla, but I don't live there. Too many tweakers. And just plain odd folks.
Sarah is lucky she escaped most of the nonsense, but I can't imagine raising a kid there with all the lunatics running around.
Mind you, most folks in Wasilla are just fine, mostly Christian of various ilks, trying to make a good living free from the commies running Anchorage. But then there's this streak of folks that just can't seem to get their poop in a group.

No, a wirehair pointer, IIRC. A breed I had not heard of, but that does have a rep for needing careful training.

Hey! I resemble that remark.
Actually, most women have very plain faces, often a bit zaftig, working hard to get through life.
The idea that men listen to hot chicks is also false. They aren't listening, they are ogling, which is not the same thing, at all. Cross-reference all the boob emojis in this very comment string.

Pearl Davis has had a good run mocking "Christian" (male) influencers in particular who then go around grooming teenaged boys. Or they're female and whoring around (at least with adults so, score one for the ladies, I guess).
I'm not here to complain about Christian doctrine. It works pretty well for some. Maybe most.
I don't think it works well for sluts, male or female, who like attention. Or if it does they should probably concentrate more on living a Christian life and less on telling everyone else to do it in between mouthfuls of cock.

Gonna disagree here. Men are MUCH more agreeable with whatever message is being delivered if it's being delivered by a woman who is easy on the eyes.
Kaileigh McEneany is good-looking and also happens to be good at her job. She would be less "good at her job" if she weren't good-looking, because men, at least those of us who are generally receptive to what the Trump WH has to say about things, don't want to have to look at some purple hair nosering yammering at us.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote in his decision that no statute 'comes close' to giving the President the authority to take on the project without Congressional oversight.
Leon then approved the Trust's request to have work stopped on the ballroom project amid the legal fight.
The President responded to the news with a furious Truth Social post.
In it, he labeled the Trust a 'Radical Left Group of Lunatics.'

That's how the paper-pushers look at all this: we can convince these troubled people to kill themselves now, and it will save us millions of dollars in healthcare that we otherwise would have had to spend on them.
If they can eliminate a significant portion of the elderly population -- the demographic with the highest expense for healthcare -- then it will save the government billions of dollars. It's a no-brainer from a government bureaucrat's perspective.

BREAKING:
Starmer suffers major defeat in court regarding his plans to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago from the UK to Mauritius.
The judge of the BIOT Supreme Court (British Indian Ocean Territory) has:
- Has overturned Tony Blair’s law from 2004 that removed the Chagossians' Right of Abode.
- Calculated that the cost of Starmer's Chagos surrender will be up to and over £48bn. The government claimed it would only be £3.7 billion
- The judge made it clear that there is no historical authority for a prerogative power to expel or permanently exclude a population of British subjects from the territory to which their citizenship belongs.
- The Judge quashed the Governnent's removal orders against the 4 Chagossians who recently returned to Chagos to stop the transfer to Mauritius.
This is undoubtedly one of the biggest moments in the campaign to Save Chagos and might completely derail the government’s plans to transfer the territory to Mauritius as there are now Chagossians living on the islands.

It's been noted by multiple people that any kind of specialist exam or treatment has a months to years waiting list in Canada, but MAID is same-day if you agree to donate your organs.

1. The UK House of Commons passed an Euthanasia Bill back in June 2025.
2. It's currently stuck in the House of Lords while they play around with the wording. It will pass eventually.
3. Last year the UK government automatically made Organ Donation and "Opt Out" process. So, you are automatically signed up to donate your organs unless you take steps to remove yourself from that eventuality.
There were no debates. There were no discussions in Parliament. They just made a Fiat decision without input from any parties on this.
Organ donation from Euthanasia is a VERY VERY VERY lucrative business for a number of parties. Currently, in Canada only Nova Scotia has "Opt Out" on organ donation and they still lead the world in the number of organs donated via Euthanasia. You can see what I'm getting at. Hello Ulterior motive.

The NDP has become a parody of itself. This is the sort of stuff that conservatives would come up with to make fun of leftists 15 years ago, and the NDP took it as sound advice.
Don't forget they hired a US consultant to tell them they have to relate to "Canadian lived experiences"
Suffering from 3rd party cringe for this even taking place in my country. It's started to show up on international subreddits and it's fucking embarrassing.
Bizarre that the NDP are leaning even harder into this performative dog and pony show stuff, after losing nearly all voter confidence in the last election for their tone-deafness regarding the real and pressing issues facing average Canadians
The worst the north american left has done against themselves is starting to speak about white privilege to people barely scraping by, and then asking them to understand the nuance of the concept while never being nuanced on any issue ever.

She survived but was mentally damaged, she was later evacuated to England. There are persistent rumors she was pregnant by Hitler at the time of the suicide attempt, and the child was given up for adoption.

That's a valid perspective. I'll take it a step further. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the original release of COVID in China was to remove the "parasites" from society (elderly, infirm etc.). They were under the impression that it could be controlled, but it got away from them, and then they went all in on making the rest of world face the regional problems they created in name of a culling. (one child rule put them in a bad situation and their draconian personal credit programs came out at the same time). Then there was the head of research for their military branch doing a header off the top of a Lab in Wuhan about 2 months later.

This is the purpose of cutting off medically indicated access to opiates in this country also. And unfortunately Trump has been duped into agreeing with it. It's the first step towards government sponsored euthanasia in this country.

Nancy Mitford ratted her sister out, the one who married Oswald Mosley so she and her fascist husband spent a few years of the war in jail. One sister went full Commie, moved to the US, and became an author. Another sister was also fascist but a bit smarter. One sister managed to stay out of the limelight completely. And then there was Unity.

I think the difference is that ordinary women are interesting, and 304s are not. You can find photos of above-average 304s by accident, with an innocent search with the wrong terms, and perfect 10s are an easy deliberate query away. But -- this is my hypothesis -- the accidentally famous ordinary woman retains an element of mystery, and that's what incites the interest.

Bernie tweeted that he wants to tax billionaires at 5% a year, raise $4.4T every year and give everyone a $12k check.
Slight problem is for 5% of a number to be worth 4.4 trillion that number needs to be $880T. Which is about 10X the net worth of all of the billionaires in the country. And then of course the whole and stock market plunging thing as billionaires have to sell stock to pay the tax.

In the 1973 film Soylent Green, Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) chooses to die at a government "euthanasia facility" (a thanatorium), where his death is made comfortable with stunning visuals of nature and classical music. The scene features archival footage of forests, wildlife, and blue oceans, set to music including Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony and Grieg’s "Peer Gynt" suite, offering a beautiful contrast to the film’s dystopian, polluted setting.

Trump To Cowardly Countries Complaining They Can't Get Their Oil Through the Strait of Hormuz: If You Want Your Oil, Send In Your Navy and Take It Yourselves, Tough-Guys
And Trump is also shifting the Overton Window on the NATO alliance -- and I have shifted with him. An alliance is like a contract between nations; it either provides reciprocal advantage to both parties, or it's repudiated. I used to worry that Europe would be taken over by Russia with NATO. Now I don't care if it is or isn't, and anyway, Europe is choosing Soviet Communism on its own without Russia tanks compelling it to. And obviously, it is Islam conquering Europe, not Russia.
American Debunk
@AmericanDebunk
This post by Trump is pre-framing what's to come. Read along and you'll start to see it too. When Trump tells the UK to "go to the Strait and just TAKE IT," the surface read is that he's venting at allies who didn't show up. But the deeper move is priming the the public (and world) with a new mental frame: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iranian sovereign territory anymore. It's available real estate. It's takeable. Anyone with courage can have it. That's a massive Overton Window shift delivered, in a tweet, as an insult to the UK. A year ago "America controls the Strait of Hormuz" sounded like some twisted fantasy. Today Trump is telling Britain to go grab it themselves like it's a parking spot. In a few weeks, Trump has normalized the concept of Western control over the Strait so thoroughly that full US seizure now looks like the modest option compared to what he's suggesting allies do on their own. This is intentional. The persuasion mechanics here are priming plus pre-selling. Whatever the eventual deal includes (US Navy permanent presence, joint patrols, Iranian withdrawal from mining infrastructure) the public will accept it because Trump already told them the Strait is there for the taking. Your subconscious mind has already been primed to accept it. This "psychological baseline" is going to influence Trump-Iran negotiations. Best believe it. "The hard part is done" works the same way. He's managing public fatigue. It translates to "we won, relax, this is cleanup". This keeps approval from eroding while the Pakistan talks drag through April. Trump isn't describing reality. He's installing it. Say the Strait is takeable enough times and it becomes takeable in the public mind. It's been 10 years of Trump and he still leaves me in awe with his persuasion.

@gummibear737 Western civilization may never win another war if this keeps up This is maddening. The radical left, mainstream media, and the woke right are running the exact same playbook with the US/Israel campaign against Iran as they did with Israel in Gaza They create impossible standards in terms of: -Zero Casualties
-Zero Economic Disruption
-Zero Uncertainty
-Zero Time to Accomplish the Mission
-Zero Collateral Damage And everything the bad guys do is actually our fault because we made them do it....same script as Gaza...the bad guys have no agency and it's actually our fault Day 32 of the Iran war:
-degraded missile factories, nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and proxy networks
-the Supreme Leader is gone...and his replacement is s vegetable
-all the top leadership is gone...in fact, we don't even know who's in charge Yet the all you hear is endless doomerism And all of this sounds exactly like the demoralization propaganda from Russia, China, and Iran, that has infiltrated our society for years via social media and retarded influencers chasing click This isn't responsible skepticism It's weakness... And you'll never get peace through strength when the opponent knows you lack resolve and they can just wait you out This is madness

It was terrible, chunks were everywhere, it looked like a Doom demon you shot with the rocket launcher. The walls were coated with blood and viscera, an eyeball hit the camera lens.
Seriously though, this kind of reminds me of when SNL was still somewhat funny, and they ran a bit during Desert Storm in which they had Bush do a speech, but in a Middle Eastern, dramatic style. It was pretty funny, then they cut to an Iraqi government official who was impressed and liked it.

If those countries do build up the courage, it really moves the overton window that countries can do what they need to in their best interest. You took oil. We are taking Iceland.
If they don't. Then you aren't with us. That doesn't make us enemies, but it doesn't make us friends. Clarity.
When you do need things from us, they come with a price because we are no longer friends.
There is still the downside risk of getting bogged down. But if we take things for us, that helps a lot. And this framing basically says we get to take things.

So you're saying we can stop pouring billions into Ukraine?
Whether you like it or not we've been acting as Europe's security blanket for generations. NATO was just one aspect. And they've repaid us by never fully funding their NATO commitments, allowing their militaries to wither and basically becoming passive assuming we will always be there to protect them and fight their battles.
The hell with fighting for us, they wouldn't even let us use their airspace or our bases on their soil that we pay for and act as a deterrent for them. Maybe you are comfortable with that arrangement but most of us are not. It has nothing to do with being a neocon. It has to do with putting the interests of America first.

But the deeper move is priming the the public (and world) with a new mental frame: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iranian sovereign territory anymore.
Actually, I think it might be shallower than that. Trump follows social media closely. A lot of right-wing commentators and such have adopted the phrase "we can just do things" to excuse/encourage the president to act, often unilaterally. I assume he, or his advisors like Miller, see that, like the sound of it, and are kind of echoing the sentiment.

I like Trump, the more he stay in power the more unified EU becomes, the dude did more for EU unity than anyone in last 20 years. I would like for Trump to go for third term. European return to be one of the big players has a nice ring to it
People need to wake up and accept that NATO is dead. This moron has destroyed the US-European alliance, repeatedly stated America does not have Europe's back anymore. Time to create something new and more reliable.

The program was destroyed. But there was confusion over how much of the 60% enriched uranium might have survived the attack. See how that works?
And then when we attempted to negotiate with them the Iranians helpfully told us they still had enough near weapons grade uranium to make 11 nukes and against all international law they were going to make them.
So what should a responsible leader do? Nothing as you propose or stop a country that for 47 years has been at war with us and funding proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to attack our people and our interests?
I'll take the president who wants to stop religious fanatics who believe their messiah will arrive once they end the world. And if our so called allies, NATO and otherwise, don't want to help then that should be considered for future alliances.

My argument is that if we're going to do this war, regime change has to happen. The worst thing that Trump is doing is leaving the mullahs in power. He's gonna TACO, leaving the mullahs in place and giving them control of the strait. And then I'm a couple years we'll be hearing that they've got a nuclear program again

Neither of them can dance around the topic when asked if they're both running for POTUS/Vice POTUS in 2028. There's no other plan they could be cooking up that would require 10s of millions of Americans being behind them.

Posted by: Masturbatin' Pete at March 31, 2026 03:10 PM (+DwtS)
The mullahs have been shown to not be in charge. It's the IRGC -- in other words, a military dictatorship. The U.S. and Israel are busy killing them and breaking all of their toys. The IRGC is reduced to launching a few missiles and drones, and having random Lt. Colonels talking $h!t on video.
The neighboring Arab states are publicly begging Pres. Trump to topple the Islamic regime in Iran. That's an enormous change in Iran's relationship with the neighboring states.
The Euroweenies are going to pay a tax for the oil, but it's going to be to the U.S.
You probably need to stop playing with your weenie so much.

The damage is very extensive this time around, it'll be a decade plus before they could get to where they were, and that is assuming they don't collapse to infighting. Granted the US is now in a position to deal with them relatively easily, but we've gained a lot here at fairly little cost, especially in altering Iran's relations in the Middle East.

Mostly, but if Trump actually did something significant against the will of his base, we'd call him out. A large ground invasion of Iran, followed by permanent presence and nation building (Iraq/Afghanistan 2.0) would be a deal breaker. This minor conflict, even if it escalated to a few troops going in, smashing something, and leaving? Not a big deal.
If Trump said "I love Mexicans, almost as much as Trump Tower taco bowl salads", opened the borders, and granted amnesty to all illegals, people would be pissed.
He does little things that go against the MAGA base at times, but nothing serious, so we're not too upset in return.

I'm a little surprised at Meloni TBH. Italy is saying something like the correct protocols requesting overflight were not followed.
The report did not specify when the aircraft were due to land but said permission was denied because the U.S. had not requested clearance and Italy's military leadership had not been consulted, as required under treaties governing the use of U.S. military installations in the country.

I might have thought that in Trump 1.0, but I don't in Trump 2.0. This has all been planned with contingency possibilities studied. It doesn't mean it will work or that it won't go off the rails. It might go off the rails. Trump's team has realized that the world as it was was all about posturing. And he has governed since his re-election with that as the overriding assessment of all of his political enemies. So his administration has been able to maneuver his enemies into untenable situations that have been tough to get out of. That is what is going on right now.

Western Europe is spent. They're done. Someone is going to make a play on Europe, and it's not worth defending against that whoever. It would be unconscionable to intervene a third time on their behalf, even if they still mattered - and they don't.
Who would you prefer do it? An actual world power like China? I wouldn't. Barking mad Muslims? That's the one that will happen, and it's the worst outcome.

This is not the outcome I would like to see but it does make sense. Ever since long before I joined the Navy iran has been closing the straits to interrupt the flow of oil to the world.
They closed them in the 70s and that caused the gas lines in the US and closed them again in the late 80s when we had to go in and blow them up during the tanker wars. On and off multiple times they have threatened to close them or dumped mines there in the last 25 years.
It is time to end their ability to throw a temper tantrum that affects global prices.

Where the jerk off has a point is that "regime change" when we do it isn't supposed to hand over, say, Iraq to half a Shiite client of Iran and half ISIS; or Libya to a bunch of slave traders; or Somalia to pirates.
But I'm not in this for regime change. I'm in this for crippling Iran's force projection and cowing its leaders into not funding foreign terrorists against us.
What happens with the Strait is more of a Europe / India / Australia / southeast Asia problem, with which they should deal.

This leads to me to suspect that popular support for the regime, even if it's still a minority position, is *much* higher than we've been led to believe - high enough to dissuade their anti-regime neighbors from acting.

From Maritime London-City of London's website,
"London is the world’s leading centre for marine insurance, including P&I. Physical risk in shipping arises from shipping operations, cargo loss or damage as well as shipbuilding and London provides a solid infrastructure for the insurance of these risks. Whether placed through Lloyd’s of London or company members of the International Underwriting Association (IUA), London insurers are able to handle the insurance needs of the shipping community. Cover provided includes hull insurance, war risk insurance, loss of profit/freight insurance, detention insurance, strike insurance or uninsured legal expenses (defence) cover.
London currently has the largest share – around a third – of the global insurance market, ahead of the USA, Japan, Germany and France. In 2013, it was worth £5.9bn. (Source: London Matters: The competitive position of the London Insurance Market, 2014). P&I clubs continue to provide the majority share of the world’s shipping fleet with insurance cover against legal liabilities to third parties."

Actually, that won't be the ending regardless. The regime part was always a problem - because we aren't going to invade. The hope was the people take care of that and or someone comes in charge that we can deal with who makes them less radical.
I'm sure we'd love to find the processed uranium - am hopeful Israel knows where to look for it. Their ability to launch a nuke has certainly been degraded and their proxy network has been degraded.
There is a chance that we are unable to account for the uranium, meaning a dirty bomb scenario comes into play.
You'd have a better argument if you didn't assume what you hopes happens will. And if you think this board can't take issue with Trump, you haven't been here that long.

Reverse Trump curse.
The truth is that these 'journalists' no longer actually do anything other than print tips from their buddies and press releases. And their editors are there to make sure that the publisher's desired outlook is printed, not any sort of objective truth.
Coverage of the Ukraine war pretty much indicated Euro media is as much globo homo as the US and of course the authoritarian regimes in the world lie as they breathe.

Because your entire argument is based on the assertion that they are still in charge of Iran. If they were it should easy to name at least one.
If you've been following this war at all you know that Trump and his team have been saying for the last week they don't know who to negotiate with because so much of the leadership is dead. The only one who appears to be negotiating is the Speaker and he is not a mullah.
If you watched Venezuela, which is not unrelated to this incident since Hezbollah was running wild in Venezuela with Iranian backing, Trump left some of the leadership in charge and under US control. That might be what happens here, temporarily, if a deal can be reached to make sure the country doesn't turn into post war Iraq which was a disaster because we took down the entire government and got ISIS instead.
The US and Israelis have obliterated Iran's navy, air force and almost all of their missiles. The GCC are on our side. I expect some coalition will be put in charge of a now neutered Iran. And that will end nearly 50 years of terror. Yea, I'm in favor of that.

Because wealthy and powerful people, once their primary needs with generational wealth are satisfied, they often turn toward the weird, bizarre, or deviant to get their jollies. Or they turn to a lifelong desire to exercise power over who they regard as peasants.

Okay bro, we'll find out soon enough.
My position is that Iran will continue to be run by an anti-American government that oppresses is people. Whether it's a mullah, a sultan, a dictator or a Board of Learned Goatfuckers, as long as they're chanting "Death to America" it really doesn't make a difference.
If you think there's a meaningful difference, I'd love to hear why.
The point is that Trump is doing what America always does: leaving the job undone. But in this case worse, because the tax on the strait of Hormuz is going to hurt the global economy, and that includes us.

All I have to do is listen to Trump to hear that he's looking to wind this down. I know I know Colin you can take him literally but you have to take him seriously and art of the deal and blah blah blah. But Trump obviously wants this to be over. And if it ends in its current state, then there really is unfinished business.
As for history I look to the strike on Iran last summer. I have no way to judge whether they were actually successful because I don't have access to that intelligence. Nobody does. But I know that after being told that we totally obliterated their nuclear program, 9 months later we're told that they've got their nuclear program back. So we do have recent history of leaving the job undone.

These tunnels were extremely hard to detect. Except - the U.S. figured out how to detect them, and demolished and flooded the tunnels. They are keeping how they did this very quiet - but it involved advanced sonar and satellites.
So, trump saying other nations should patrol - no other nation had the ability to deal with the tunnels. Hence any ship patrolling was a high risk of getting sunk. That was why every other nation declined to do it. I think Trump was just sticking it to the rest of the world.

Oh, it's a DEFENSIVE alliance, eh?
So why in the blue fuck were we involved in Allied Force and Odyssey Dawn? Neither of those conflicts involved a NATO country that was attacked. The Euros couldn't solve either problem and went to the UNITED STATES to fix their shit for them.
The Balkans should have been the first actual indication that NATO--and specifically, the faggots in western Europe--weren't really capable of doing diddly squat without the Americans to hold their decrepit, liver-spotted hands. Now they can prepare to bend over and have Achmed ram them up the ass while they bow towards Mecca.
Time to cut anyone loose that can't play ball. I'm fine with keeping eastern Euros around because they at least have skin in the game. Western Europe just sees them as a meat shield and its time the former Warsaw Pact countries realized that.

Providence Mayor Calls Mural Showing Face of Slaughtered Iryna Zarutska "Divisive," Wants It Taken Down
He wants the mural destroyed. He does not want to say her name.
The mayor of Rhode Island's capital city is calling for a mural reportedly backed by Elon Musk to honor Iryna Zarutska --the Ukrainian woman whose brutal murder while riding a North Carolina train prompted calls for harsher punishment for career criminals -- to be taken down. The mural, located on the exterior of The Dark Lady, an LGBTQ+ club in downtown Providence, remains incomplete, WJAR-TV reported. The office of Mayor Brett Smiley told the news outlet that he wants the artwork taken down. "The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the county is divisive and does not represent Providence," Smiley said in a statement. He said he continues to "encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us."Did he call for the George Floyd murals to be obliterated as well? Of course not.
... Zarutska, a 23-year-old refugee who fled her country after the Russian invasion, was brutally stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack while riding the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte, NC, last year. The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, is charged with violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system resulting in death, which is a capital offense under federal law. ... Zarutska's death prompted questions about soft on crime policies adopted by many Democratic-run cities. President Donald Trump spotlighted the killing during his State of the Union address last month. ... "Iryna was riding home on the train when a deranged monster, who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no-cash bail, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body," Trump said. "She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America," he added. "Ms. Zarutska, tonight I promise you we will secure justice for your magnificent daughter."It's pretty explicit that white lives don't matter to the left. "Reparations" include the right of "oppressed minorities" to beat and kill white people with little consequence. It's also clear that the Regime that murdered Iryna by letting this psychopath out of jail dozens of times will brook absolutely no criticism of their murderous policies. Iryna is not just a reminder that white lives matter too, askshually. It's a reminder that the psycho-left's policies cause butchery and rape. But the psycho-left will use any tool of oppression to halt any argument or simple fact that might undermine their headlong drive to inflict authoritarian Marxism with a nasty racist twist on the country.

But this is Minneapolis. The Metro Police Manual approved and taught the knee to the shoulder blade restraint to all their officers. There is no way this restraint impacts the blow hole. But, Dems needed a bloody shirt and thus blamed the 'union' cop for murder. So much for union dues doing anything to protect their union members. Please note, the officer was prosecuted by the FEDS cuz the State AG didn't want to go there.

Boston was clean and safe under Menino and he was actually pretty good with constituent services. The communists who have taken over the Democrat Party are incompetent at running anything and really don't care. It's all about communist doctrine for them while their cities burn.

He is the doubleganger for Stafford. Same talents - same system. Stafford has had troubles with his back. The Rams coach was the OC for Redskins and knows Kirk's talents. Whether he wants a backup role is the question. Should Stafford go down he would be QB-ing a Super Bowl caliber team.

The ultimate example of judicial stupidity? Two men were found guilty of the same crime, shared guilt at the same time: raping a 15 year old boy.
One was sentenced to 30-50 years by Judge Derek Vaughn.
Judge Rich McGowan then took over the case and sentenced the other man to 3 years.

I have no military or law enforcement history, but I've reached the same place. There are psychopaths who have no capacity to imagine or care about the misery they inflict. The ability just isn't there. They see the entertainment value just fine, though.
There are lives that matter only in a negative way -- the danger they pose, and the lethal trouble they cause. I care about their lives, but not in the sympathetic way typically intoned. Just the opposite.
They started it. It's their rules. They made it this way.

Update: Secret Service agent who shot himself in butt was trying to use gun light to find phone
UPDATE: Additional new details about the junior @SecretService agent who shot himself last Friday morning during a movement at the Philly airport with Jill Biden: The agent left his phone behind in the SUV while escorting Jill Biden into the airport. He rushed back to get his cell phone and was using his Glock's flashlight to try to
find it in the trunk of the SUV. When he tried to holster his gun, he shot himself -- yes,
right in the butt cheek. I'm told agent training stresses that the light on the Glock
should only be used while shooting.
Yes, that is Susan Crabtree, a national correspondent for RealClear Politics, reporting the details of a Secret Service agent who shot himself in the tush.
Last week, the agency reported that the agent shot himself in the leg while on Jill Biden's protective detail, but it looks like they might have been trying to save what's left of his dignity.

From this morning's It's Noon In Israel newsletter (Amit Segal):
Last night, Donald Trump shared a clip of a massive strike on Isfahan on social media. According to Ynet’s Ron Ben-Yishai, what initially appeared to be a strike on ballistic missiles may have in fact been the burial of enriched uranium deep underground in a way that will prevent the Iranians from accessing it. The U.S., it seems, has given up on prolonged ground action that would also entail many casualties.

And there are many "re-strikes" occurring. Again, neither the US nor Israel are giving out a lot details (Israel much more actually) on targets struck, but Israel at least has hit targets more than once. Also, if you count hitting places first struck back in June '25, they're going back for seconds on several targets. Either due to interfere with recovery/reconstruction efforts (CENTCOM released on video of a hit on a bulldozer), or to cause further damage.

Dude, Kirk is the last of the Redskins. He was brought in by Daddy Shanahan as insurance for RG III. RG ended his career in the playoffs and Kirk carried the team from then on. He is the doubleganger for Stafford. Same talents - same system. Stafford has had troubles with his back. The Rams coach was the OC for Redskins and knows Kirk's talents. Whether he wants a backup role is the question. Should Stafford go down he would be QB-ing a Super Bowl caliber team.
Posted by: pudinhead at March 31, 2026 02:07 PM (n17eQ)
Russell Wilson was actually the Shannahan's 1st choice to be QB, but Snyder decided to trade 3 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder to move up to draft RGIII because he wanted a flashy QB. The Shannahan's were blindsided by it because Wilson was a better fit for their offense. By the time that they got to the 4th round, Bruce Allen asked the Kyle if he still wanted Cousins who was their 2nd choice at QB, and they said yes. Snyder couldn't stand Cousins because he thought that he was taking the shine off of RGIII, so he treated him like shit which led to Cousins leaving DC.

Those people would either be instantly deposed and killed by their subordinates, or have to fight a brutal, protracted power struggle against them, which they will lose.
This will make any negotiating largely pointless.
We could agree to back that faction to the hilt for the foreseeable future, and set their leader up as the puppet we defend until the Muslims beat us along with him.
Or, we could wave the worthless peace treaty around, declare victory and go home until it's time to smash the Muslims from the air and sea again.
No real great options for a negotiated peace at this point.

The left's take is that grooming a 3 year old to be gay is fine. You can read porn with him, have a tranny twerk in his face, or put him in a dress, but if an adult wants to meet with a psychologist to help him get over being gay/tranny that is a literal crime against humanity.

Russia might turn out to be our greatest ally when all is said and done.
Russia, US, and Israel came remake the Middle East - if not the world - through sustained aerial bombardment and rockets and drones to ensure freedom liberty reign supreme.
And Trump is right we have plenty of oil here and from Venezuela to ensure we don't need any oil from the Middle East.
But we need the patriotic oil companies in the US to price oil at an American discount and not via the world market.

One of the most humorous events from my time as Scoutmaster was sitting in on one of our scout's Eagle Board of Review and, when he was asked whether someone or another ought to have been punished for having behaved inhumanely toward another human being, he replied, "Well, some people deserve to be punished."
That response nearly caused his questioner to stroke out from shock. "Surely you can't mean that!"
"I do. Some people are just evil and they deserve punishment."
More sputtering and attempts to get the young man to moderate his assertions, but he stuck to his guns.
One of the other Board members knew the young man's father and, afterward, during the congratulatory chit chat, he told the father, "Boy, I certainly knew that he was your son when he made that reply!"

They finally started isolating him.

He was the asshat who, absent any evidence whatsoever, declared it safe for folks to resume normal activities despite no such assurances from law enforcement authorities. When asked on what basis he made that assertion, he replied (in effect), "Well, no one has been shot in the last (fill in this blank) hours."
But the shooter was alive and had driven into Massachusetts and shot the professor at MIT around that time.
He may not have known much, but what little he did know, he knew really well!

Michigan Synagogue Attack Was "Hezballah-Inspired," Says FBI
They can finally determine a motive. When the Bureau is headed by a Trump appointee, at least.
The attack earlier this month on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was "a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan," the FBI said in a news conference Monday. The assailant, Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon, rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue on March 12, as more than 100 children were attending school inside. ...Two of his brothers were Hezballah terror commanders. They were killed by Israel.
Had he lived, he would have been charged with providing material support to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, said Jerome Gorgon, US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Gorgon added Ghazali was inspired by Hezbollah propaganda to carry out the attack. "This man acted under Hezbollah's direction and control," Gorgon said. "He intended to kill others, not just himself."
... Ghazali began planning for the attack days earlier, the FBI said, with his plans intensifying on March 9. A review of Ghazali's online activity dating to January showed repeated searches for pro‑Hezbollah and Iranian news outlets, as well as videos related to gunfire and ammunition. Beginning March 9, the FBI said, he closely followed speeches and live coverage involving Hezbollah's secretary general, Naim Qassem, along with reporting about an Iranian fatwa -- a religious ruling concerning Islamic law -- calling for total jihad against the US military. He also researched Jewish cultural educational and religious centers throughout the Detroit metro area, viewed multiple pages of upcoming events at Temple Israel and searched specific terms and phrases such as "the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan," "Orthodox synagogues" and "Israelis near me," Runyan said. ... An order of dozens of water containers arrived on the 11th -- the day before the attack -- and he immediately started filling them with gasoline, making four trips to gas stations so he would not arouse suspicion, Runyan said. He also bought two torch lighters, which authorities believe he used to set his truck on fire. On the day of the attack, Ghazali sent his sister, who authorities believe lives in Lebanon, numerous videos and messages "affirming his Hezbollah-inspired ideology," Runyan said. Ten minutes before he drove his truck into the synagogue, Ghazali sent his sister two videos in Arabic indicating he was at the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan, had booby-trapped his car and would forcibly enter and start shooting people, the FBI said. "God willing, I will kill as many of them as I possibly can," Ghazali recorded himself saying, according to Runyan.Happy Tuesday! I didn't read much over the weekend but I'm now "On the Doorstep" in The Hobbit. I'm sure many of you finished. Does anyone do this? When I read Hobbit/LOTR, I put on music and ambience from the movies. But I'm not sure it adds anything. I think it just distracts me. Update:
It was Netanyahu inspired terrorism. He consistently links Judaism and Zionism and it puts a target on the backs of Jews all over the world. The people in Michigan had nothing to do with the war crimes Israel is committing. Exactly. Who wants to take the FBI at their word on this one? I'm guessing the usual suspects. It absolutely doesn't excuse the violence, but I've also heard his family in Lebanon was killed in Israeli attacks. If we're going to be involved in this war, we're going to experience the effects of it. It turns out when you launch a poorly conceived attack on a foreign nation with zero regard for collateral damage, it leads to stuff like this. There is zero excuse for the violence he planned to commit, but killing innocents breeds terrorism and unfortunately the current administration is damn good at that. This isn't a terrorist linked attack. The FBI is bullshitiny to justify the invasion of Lebanon.

yeah, Trump's main objective is preventing Iran's junta from being able to produce a nuke and the missile capability to strike USA, (or maybe Europe). The other issue of oil prices spiking in Europe and other less Western nations ... might be a bonus, but I'm not really clear on that.
Makes US oil/gas/coal more valuable, but idk about the whole "global economy" thang. USA has usually been the big buyer in that global economy, so not sure it really hurts us much.

Seriously, clown comments like the last on on this post are right out of the Ali Mohammad Alinski playbook. Even when someone screams "Allah Ackbar" and proceeds to recite the Koran while simutaneously beheading Jewish children, while wearing a Hezballah T-shirt and leaving a manifesto outlining the exact reason for the actions; the victim card pops out from supporters creating some chimera argument that they will be the ones to suffer from non-existent repurcussions.
Reminds me of a neighbor as a kid. He'd whip snowballs at me while I was shoveling the drive-way. The minute I turned towards him and took a step, he'd run in his house and tell his mom I was threatening him. That's the Muslim community in a nutshell.

So this human torch guy who attacked the synagogue belonged to the Shia muslim minority. They're about 20% of muslims worldwide. When they are working together with the Sunni majority against Jews and the West, their 1400 year old blood feud is temporarily forgotten. When those issues are not front and center, they turn on each other again.
Iran is Shia central. Or was.

My spouse wants a lemon raspberry dip, so I have my Cocowhip, Jello lemon pudding, and raspberry preserves (and probably some other liquid)...and I was gonna dip raspberries, strawberries, and shortbread cookies.
But then I thought, why not layer the shortbread cookies with the pudding, the preserves, and the cocowhip (maybe flavored with either lemon zest or raspberry syrup) and then top with all the fresh fruit for the world's easiest dairy/nut free trifle (or icebox cake, depending how I layer and what dish I use - not sure I have a true "trifler" one)...

The Reason is there to justify the conclusion that was arrived at before the act.
"See, just like Jean Valjean!"
Without that justification then the preconceptions at play make the act meaningless, since alternate explanations cannot exist.
For some people, even the attempt to find an alternate explanation becomes a violation, and can be like an assault on the perception of the world.
So, just like Jean Valjean, it is an act solely in response to the bad things that are disapproved of.

we do but it's ... different stuff
things that take long to cook but ingredients are not expensive
timbane and other savory little pies, deviled eggs, basically that.
Posted by: BlackOrchid(j+aD2) at March 31, 2026 01:15 PM (j+aD2)
Easter is the one time of year spouse doesn't complain that I make deviled eggs (this is always on the lunch tray). He agrees that while he can't stand hard boiled eggs, once we dye eggs, there's really nothing else to do with them except egg salad or deviled eggs, and my kids love deviled eggs. So that's part of the "lunch tray" of the holiday (and he dutifully ignores them). As some posters know, we always do a tray type lunch for holidays - then people grab what they like...

Trump wants markets floating higher, to help inflate our way "out" of the massive debt burden. But markets seem to be in bubble territory, so perhaps at some point a controlled decline would not be terrible.
Europe is already facing ~$8/gal gas, along with other issues. Seems USA is gaining power, and with tariffs the balance of trade power is adjusting. China still has like a trillion in global trade surplus, but they have plenty of issues.

1. Tell the truth about whether it was or was not related to terrorism.
2. If it was, disclose who the group was behind it.
3. Disclose who ordered the FBI to cover that up.

They argue that the various jihadis we have seen are not part of a global movement so they are just "religious extremists" and yes they then tally that as "rightwing violence"

I'm no expert, but the Sunni vs Shia split happened just after the death of Mohammed, and it was over whether the new religion should have a chief authority who was related to Mohammed by blood, or not. A group including Mohammed's son was ambushed and killed while traveling, by the non-bloodline faction (Sunnis), and it was on.
To this day the most senior Shia clerics must be able to claim that they are descendants of Mohammed.

I believe at one point Cardinal Richelieu (aka "that three-faced Papist") was actually providing support to the nominally Protestant side.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at March 31, 2026 01:28 PM (IG3/x)
TBH salic primogeniture with a nominal divine right of a king WAS a social improvement over what had gone before.
Having a clear succession with weaker nobles to cause less trouble with their infighting is part of the reason Europe was able to go on the offensive in the crusades era - Islam as the time had polygamy, no real rules on succession, and endemic internal conflicts.

It could also be seen as Charlemagne realizing the need for raising of horse for his knights required large estates, and the support of Salic law prevented the break up of the estates to "all the inheritors", as well as cementing ties to Charlemagne personally by those lucky first born.

Here’s the kicker they elected a Jew as their leader., lol. The party that openly supports Hamas has Jewish leader. How much crazier will the world get?
** yes they are all socialists but NDP is out and proud socialist/communist without pretending otherwise. And it’s not some fringe party it is a legit party that has won provincial elections and wins seats in the federal parliament.

By the way, the national convention was such a freak show that provincial NDPs are distancing themselves. The idiot Nenshi in AB is scared to death of what the freak show will do to NDP chances in his province.
