Posted by: Anthony Fauci at September 03, 2025 09:33 AM (Zz0t1) The Morning Report — 9/3/25![]() In a recent interview with The New York Times, Nadler, 78, acknowledged his reluctance to step aside, citing his belief that President Donald Trump “is threatening the foundations of democracy.” Still, he said he wanted to clear a path for “generational change” within the Democratic Party. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times. He added that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.” . . .his retirement raises questions about who will succeed him. It’s entirely possible that voters could opt for a successor in the mold of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the far-left, antisemitic, current frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, whom Nadler has endorsed.Meh, the science is settled; the void will doubtless be filled by dark matter. Extremely DARK matter . . . an entity that has more longevity than Nadler 1.0 and the ability to not have to use the cloaking device to conceal its anti-semitism and anti-Americanism every two years for political expediency (not that that matters with its many orbiting cohorts that willingly stay in its orbit and vote Democrat either regardless or worse because of the hatred. Moving on to the top story -- American military assets being used to sink a Venezuelan boat in international waters that was suspected of being used as a drug smuggling vessel. God bless President Trump, as his second term is certainly turning out to be the FAFO presidency. Former U.S. Army Special Forces and WorldStrat President Jim Hanson warned drug cartels Tuesday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that a “holy hell” would be “unleashed” if they tried to retaliate against America for cracking down on their activities. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the American military sank a vessel belonging to Venezuelan drug cartel Tren de Aragua, killing 11 cartel members on board. Discussing the strike against the vessel, Fox’s Jesse Watters asked Hanson if he believes there’s a risk of “counterstrikes inside the U.S.” from cartel members. (RELATED: Latin America’s Narco States Freaking Out Over Trump’s Cartel Crackdown) . . . . .The strike, conducted by the U.S. Southern Command in international waters, took place near three Aegis-class missile boats stationed alongside other assets to disrupt the Latin American cartel’s drug trade routes. In a post about the hit against the organization, Trump wrote that the drug cartel has been “operating under the control of [Venezuela President] Nicolas Maduro,” who is “responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere.” Let's hope that this attitude extends to our enemies not just foreign but most especially domestic. President Donald Trump has once again struck at the heart of the globalist machine, demanding federal racketeering charges against Democrat megadonor George Soros and his son, Alexander. For decades, Soros has funneled billions into organizations and movements that destabilize nations, bankroll violent protests, and manipulate democratic processes under the cover of “philanthropy.” . . .George Soros has not worked alone; his son, Alexander, has stepped forward as the heir and executor of this vast political machinery. Far from a passive observer, Alexander has publicly embraced his role in steering progressive movements, funding left-wing media, and coordinating initiatives that mirror his father’s strategy of global influence. Together, the Soros family represents a dynastic network, blending philanthropy with political engineering, and ensuring that radical agendas persist across generations. And the accursed Soros and spawn are not the sole bad actors at home and abroad. Yes, he the elder is foreign-born but the actions of the progeny of a name that is as American as it gets are just as malign. The Ford Foundation has been funneling millions of dollars into leftist advocacy groups, including those promoting the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Concerningly, taxpayer-funded grants have been used to support some of the same initiatives. . . “Media Matters for America, approved for a $250,000 Ford grant in November 2024, was founded by Clinton Family attack lapdog David Brock. As that history would indicate, Media Matters is the epitome of a rabidly partisan, anti-Republican media platform. The only reason to give them money is to advance the political and policy messaging of Democrat presidents and congressional leadership.” – Capital Research CenterCoincidentally or not, both Soros and Henry Ford were virulently anti-Semitic, with the former despite being born Jewish and the latter both linked closely with Hitler (the actual Adolf not the mythical Hitler Democrats call Trump). Ford admired and along with many others sought an accommodation if not an actual alliance with him before WW2 while George Soros acted as an eager and willing Nazi collaborator in Hungary helping the SS roundup and deport that country's Jews, among them a number of my relatives. But that aside, as a first amendment/free speech absolutist, the Fords and even Soros can have and express their views on any issue they desire, even if their opinions are repulsive and repugnant. But, if they are funding groups that are actually working to destroy our civil society from within in a provably criminal manner, then they must be silenced and stopped by any and every legal means necessary. While we're on the subject of free speech, here's yet another sign that the Sun is finally setting not only on the British Empire but on Western Civilization itself. British comedy writer Graham Linehan, who has been shunned and canceled in the entertainment industry for speaking out against trans, was arrested in England after he returned there from Arizona, where he's been living and working. As soon as he stepped off the plane at Heathrow, he was snagged by five police officers and taken into custody. The charge? Three tweets. Once a nation starts arresting people over speech, over social media posts, that nation is essentially lost. The leaders in the UK believe that they have to shut up their citizens rather than address their complaints and concerns. The UK is lost. They're arresting people for social media posts and they're doing it quite frequently, with data suggesting it's up to some 30 people per day, or 12,000 per year. It's not just an arrest with caution, these people see the inside of a prison cell, often for months at a time. And the posts vary. They're not all about trans. UK citizens are arrested for complaining about mass migration, about foreign flags being flown over their high streets, a candidate with the Reform Party was arrested for waving the Union Jack in a public building. Muslims are allowed to hold mass prayer in public squares but Christians are arrested for praying—silently—near abortion clinics.A tragic bookend to the story covered over the last few days about brave Scottish lass Sophie of Dundee. In perhaps a not entirely unrelated story, I give you the most recent actions of greasy greasball Gavin Newsom: California Democrat governor Gavin Newsom's "agricultural equity" advisers are finalizing recommendations for the state to redistribute farmland to non-white Californians and Native American tribes through land transfers and financial assistance programs that exclusively benefit racial minorities. For more than two years, the California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force—part of Newsom's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation—has crafted a set of policy recommendations to "equitably increase agricultural land access." It will deliver a final report to Newsom and the California legislature cementing those recommendations by the end of the year. . . "The wealth of the U.S., including that of its agriculture industry, has been built on stolen land and the forced labor of California Tribal Nations, enslaved African Americans, and other exploited communities, who have been systematically excluded from land ownership and wealth-building opportunities," the report says. "Addressing these past and continuing harms requires active efforts to ensure that all people have secure and affordable access to viable land for the care and cultivation of food, fiber, medicine, and culturally valuable resources, free from systemic barriers and racial disparities." The initiative marks the latest left-wing attempt to pursue reparations through the agriculture industry. The Biden junta and congressional Democrats, for example, allocated $5 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act to grant loan forgiveness to non-white farmers, though that initiative was held up in the courts. In a separate program, the junta authorized more than $2 billion in payments to non-white farmers and ranchers whose applications for loans had been rejected by the USDA—rejections that the Biden junta chalked up to racial discrimination.Put this in context with the actions of Newsom and Karen Bass in the wake of the Pacific Palisades wildfires and their moves to deny homeowners permission to rebuild and instead demand that their land be essentially de facto confiscated and forcibly transformed into low income government approved housing. Well, just smear Newsom's face with Sharpton's feces and call him Tawana Mugabe. The bitter irony is that the justification for all of this is built on outright blood-libels against America, and the people who actually built America and made California the one time 6th most prosperous place on earth, and America's promised land. No, it wasn't slaves nor was it Mexicans. It was American-Americans, which is the only hyphenate category I recognize. The bastards who drape themselves in the Constitution are the same ones who have spent over 200 years ripping it to shreds. The sheer Chutzpocrisy is sickening beyond my capacity to describe it.

Local story on my Fox outlet: A football coach (or "the" coach) has been assaulted at my old high school, the famous Warren Easton High "adopted" by Sandra Bullock, according to the cops. The story is only on their bottom-of-the-screen chyron and I can't find it on the CBS outlet's website.
Whaddaya wanna bet that if the coach is white and the assailant black (Easton is now 100% black enrollment), the story will vanish into the morning mist? Assaulting a teacher or coach? Unthinkable, once upon a time in America. We were all terrified of, or respected, our teachers. Jeez. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 03, 2025 07:41 AM (omVj0) 15

$1M in taxpayer money going to build a megamosque that spews hate at Christians and Jews.
-- I fear the worst is coming to NYC. Mamdani will likely be elected, bringing yet another radical Islamist into public office in America. This one being in one of the most iconic cities in the world. Add in the "megamosque" in the conservative Italian American neighborhood of Morris Park and you can only imagine the glee muslims will feel post 9/11 at just how easily they've conquered NYC. Add in demons like the foul-mouthed Tlaib, Bro-Fo Omar, that little freak looking to become mayor of Minneapolis and it's sure easy to see how, slowly but surely, they are transforming the country in the same way they've done in the UK. It might take them a bit longer here, but the wheels in motion are so very obvious. Hundreds of thousands of imported 3rd world Islamists are sure paying off.

I recall, back in my military days, that we were told that we not only COULD disobey an illegal order but that we were REQUIRED to disobey an illegal order. Given that military protocol insists on punishing enlisted personnel if there is any conceivable way that they can be punished, I suspect that a lot of people would disobey that order.

Lisa Cook is fundamentally unqualified for her job. Despite her PhD fields being listed as macroeconomics and international economics, she has never published a single peer-reviewed article on macroeconomics or monetary policy. Her entire academic output is focused on economic history through the narrow, ideological lens of race and gender.
Who would have thunk it? The profs that let her skate in undergrad. The advisors that let her write papers on racial grievances with nothing to do with banking and eco.

It's no fantasy. If the Left ever regains majority government control, their first six months will make Trump's look like Gerald Ford's. Posted by: Ordinary American at September 03, 2025 08:05 AM (h/ffs) 51
Under Trump, that cut-off point (for being in lowest 25% income) rose by nearly $3,950; under Biden, it fell slightly, by about $170, suggesting that many lower-income families on average lost purchasing power during the Biden years.
These findings resoundingly contradict Democrats’ frequent claims that Trump’s tax and budget policies primarily favored the rich. In truth, the purchasing power of Americans in the bottom quarter of household income rose by 10% during his first White House term. We have the richest po' folks in the world.

During the confrontation, the suspect reportedly recited verses from the Islamic Quran. Police initially attempted to use a taser to subdue him, but when he failed to submit and continued to pose a threat, they resorted to lethal force. French newspaper Le Figaro noted that the suspect had previously been under judicial supervision, which prohibited him from possessing weapons.

Biden and the communists running the White House didn’t have an interest in finding the most qualified person for the job. They had an interest in promoting division and furthering their insidious goals by using a certain politically targeted demographic as their guidepost. Cook, like Jackson on SCOTUS represent two of the most wholly unqualified people ever elevated to those positions. In the end they’ve done a tremendous disservice to that targeted demographic by promoting corrupt, unaccomplished people of relatively low intellect.

In general I have never quite understood Trump’s desire to do this. I suspect there are some quid pro quo agreements in the background with Alabama politicians: “If you bring the Space Force to Alabama, Mr. Trump, we will back you on your other plans.” Then again, Trump might simply want to punish the increasingly leftist haven of Colorado.

Is this the end result of Publish or Die in academia?
This is the end result of the government, and leftist foundations almost certainly subsidized by the government, paying for scientific papers which appear to justify their policy preferences. It's the "magic words" problem. They think that if they get someone in a lab coat to say something, that makes it true.

Trump takes actions that are above all necessary and right and which feel that way in the guts of most Americans. He mostly reaps political benefits from this, not because he acts first to reap political benefit. This makes him almost entirely, weirdly unique among our so-called leaders. The drug interdiction is another example. It is necessary and right.

The "Battle of Los Angeles" was the informal name for the final conflict of the California Campaign during the Mexican-American War, known as the Battle of La Mesa, which took place on January 9, 1847. Following the earlier Siege of Los Angeles and the battles of Río San Gabriel and La Mesa, American forces under Commodore Robert F. Stockton and General Stephen Watts Kearny recaptured the city, leading to a Californio retreat and the eventual signing of the Treaty of Cahuenga, which ended the war in California.
Earlier events leading to the Battle of La Mesa: 1. Siege of Los Angeles (September 1846): . A revolt led by Californios under José María Flores successfully drove out a U.S. garrison from Los Angeles. 2. Battle of Río San Gabriel (January 8, 1847): American forces marched to recapture the city, encountering and defeating the Californios at a ford on the San Gabriel River. The Battle of La Mesa (January 9, 1847): The Californios, led by Flores, made a final stand but were no match for the disciplined American troops. The American forces were victorious, leading to the recapture of Los Angeles and the final collapse of Californio resistance in Southern California.

Mark Judge:
Earlier this year, I published a piece revealing that New York Times reporter David Enrich expressed regrets to me about things he wrote about me and Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. Enrich, like the rest of the Stasi media, had tried to destroy me and Kavanaugh, who was a friend of mine in high school, in order to prevent Brett from becoming a SCOTUS justice. Enrich and the New York Times used everything, including our high school yearbook, to try to ruin us. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my role in the Kavanaugh coverage,” Enrich wrote to me last December, “and I would be happy to talk to you about it at some point. For now, I will just say that I have learned some lessons and would probably do certain things differently next time.” When I asked Enrich to elaborate on what he would do differently, he said, “This is a subject for a longer conversation that I’m not going to have over the holidays. Sorry.” Then he added this: “I can’t imagine what it was like for you to go thru that." Posted by: SMOD at September 03, 2025 08:51 AM (RHGPo) 204

Ellen Degeneres Hit With Disturbing New Claim Involving Former Staffer’s Child After She Flees America for England
Insiders are claiming that a high-ranking producer was urged to reschedule a major operation their child was having, just to make life more convenient for DeGeneres. A “The kid had a major surgery – like a bone marrow transplant,” another former staffer told Daily Mail. “It was asked of this particular person if the kid’s ‘thing’ – that’s what they referred to it as – was the same week as the Christmas holiday week.” “This was a person pretty high up. This person was asked if they could move the procedure around the Christmas holiday week, for Ellen,” this insider continued. “They were there on the day of the taping that week – Ellen got exactly what she wanted. It was all loyalty to the show, but no loyalty to staff.” - Ellen's convenience > child's life Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, We're Living On Land Stolen From the Dinosaur! at September 03, 2025 08:52 AM (L/fGl) 207

Wrap your head around her thinking. She is asked about affordability, and her answer is to reduce the supply of housing and increase the number of parking spots with EV chargers.
She seriously believes that this is the solution to out-of-control housing prices. You can see in the face of the podcast host his incredulity at her response, and Senator Weiner's pain at having to share a screen with this moron.

What bothers me the most is that Omar has built her career thundering against the wealthy and declaring capitalism a system rigged against the little guy. She lectures about inequality, demonizes people who accumulate fortunes, and paints millionaires as morally compromised. Yet here she is, supposedly reaping the rewards of venture capital and luxury wine—two industries not exactly known for their devotion to socialist ideals.

Gaston County District Attorney Travis Page had the parents arrested, charging them with involuntary manslaughter and child neglect.
Police Arrest Two Parents For Small-Town Tragedy. If We Let It Go, There’s No Going Back Hmmmm... Me thinks there is a lot underneath the surface. Gaston, Co, is next to Charlotte, NC. Gastonia, where even occurred is a smaller town west of the County Seat. The story indicates that Page was pleased with himself for a "generous" plea deal as the parents had suffered enough. (Why were they charged in the first place?). Why did they spend 25 days in jail? Wife is pregnant, 6 children. Given demographics of the area, I'm willing to bet, we are talking a poor white southern family here. So, why? Child run over on a small town street, which no doubt has a low speed limit. A woman, 76 years old hits the kid. No name released. Is it still in the police report? This should be public record. Anyone wish to cover a bet that she has some political connections to the county? Probably resides in the county seat. The arrest of the parents gets her off the hook. Just say in'. Posted by: Lurking Cheshirecat at September 03, 2025 09:06 AM (w3u3d) 268

CNN: US military 'conducted a lethal strike' on alleged 'drug vessel' in southern Caribbean, Rubio says
there's a picture at CNN of the boat in sights. It's the size of a small fishing boat, but looks like it has powerful outboard motors and is going at speed. Sure, I'd suspect it was smuggling something, and drugs would be the obvious thing. But blowing it apart and killing 11 in international waters on suspicion, without an apparent attempt to capture it? Out of control authoritarianism. That's usually how it's done with the Coast Guard's assistance, but it sounds like Whiskey Pete Kegbreath is trying to impress his boss. The Epstein victims are publicly speaking out tomorrow. Coincidence? Not a chance. This was a lethal distraction So now he's finally a war president? He's been salivating for military action for quite a while. There goes his Nobel Peace Prize. A drug cartel ship is not a military target, unless this ship was literally bearing down on the US coast, the US military should not be engaging them - especially so far away from a US border.

Although he and other government experts were aware that the disease was spreading mostly via sex parties in the gay community, they chose to downplay that fact for fear of “stigma” and pretend that every American was equally at risk The FNM was absolutely desperate to prove this wasn't just another gay disease. So...they flooded the story when a boy contracted it. And then the internet found out about the boy's two dads. Who had it. And...that the dog had it too. And suddenly the FNM did not want to talk about the boy and how in fact he had gotten the disease... Posted by: 18-1 at September 03, 2025 09:15 AM (sKqQm) 300
A drug cartel ship is not a military target, unless this ship was literally bearing down on the US coast, the US military should not be engaging them - especially so far away from a US border. This is a law enforcement problem and not a military concern.

a little shame might go a long way to keep people from engaging in risky sex
One thing to remember with things like AIDS or Monkeypox...they aren't just spread by anal sex...its specifically LOTS of anal sex with LOTS of new basically anonymous partners. If the popular fiction of the gay couple that got married because they are in love and want to be exclusive sexually with each other were true these diseases still wouldn't spread... I vaguely recall the gay male flight attendant that brought AIDS to the 1st world would often have anonymous sex with a pile of men at gay sex clubs, which is why it went from some obscure monkey disease in Africa to affecting thousands in Europe and the US.

Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers. 'Tis Woden's Day again. (Right?) The furry thugs are waiting for breakfast, Dagny savaging her Cat Dancer wire toy, Stirling sitting atop the counter like a vulture on a tree branch.
As for me? Coffee, yes, and I plan to walk this morning, though my motivation to do so is hiding in a cabinet somewhere. The humidity is down a bit at least. Pixy, I'm glad to hear the edema is fading. It'll pay off, even if you haven't gotten enough sleep. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 03, 2025 05:55 AM (omVj0) 50

Oink! Belated.
Steve Earle. Dang. A couple of years ago he released an excellent album of Jerry Jeff Walker covers and then went on tour. Having the money and time I decided it was high time to go see him perform. And that I did all over Texas for three shows. He late work, that being from the last decade or so resembles nothing from his hell raising days. His son, Justin Townes Earle, a very fine song writer in his own right, passed from a from a heroin overdose, a legacy it seems from his early days, changed him hard from what I was able to figure out. To say it shattered him is about correct. The one song from those sets that sticks with me is Steve playing Justin's Harlem River Blues, a song about dying. Somewhere deep inside I still hurt from hearing that.

Posted by: Ben Had at September 03, 2025 06:52 AM (mFSH6) I presume he means he is either going to forbid the NG from operating in Illinois, daring Trump to overrule him, or he will instruct the Chicago police to hamper and / or otherwise prevent the Guard from deploying or acting. I think he is betting that neither Trump nor Homan have the stones to weather the optics of a sitting governor being arrested and imprisoned by the Guard.

She's outlining behavior that any Christian would have recognized as sinful and authored by the Adversary until the last few decades, when Christians became embarrassed by their own religion and started pretending evil was something else. A festival organized around "constant orgies" and the consumption of drugs "in staggering quantities" is demonic on its face. Modern Christians need essay-length think pieces on this because they believe in nothing. It's very dumb.

Guar gum is widely used in home kitchens for making various baking products, like non-gluten bread.
Carrageen "moss" is a perfectly nice Irish seaweed. There's all kinds of old-fashioned Irish puddings that use carrageen itself as a thickener. 7 g/¼ oz (approx. 1 semi-closed fistful) cleaned, well-dried carrageen moss 900 ml/30 floz (3¾ cups) milk 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 large egg 2 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar Soak the carrageen moss in a bowl of tepid water for 10 minutes. It will swell and increase in size. Strain off and discard the water and then put the carrageen into a saucepan with the milk and the vanilla pod, if using. (If using vanilla extract, it will be added later.) Bring the milk slowly to the boil, watching that it doesn’t heat too fast: if the milk heats too quickly, it might suddenly expand in volume and overflow. Reduce the temperature to maintain a very gentle simmer for about 15 minutes, until the carrageen moss has softened and somewhat dissolved into the milk. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Test for a set by placing a teaspoon of the mixture on a saucer. This small amount, when cooled, will show how firm set. Posted by: Suburbanbanshee at September 02, 2025 10:18 PM (p2GXS) 91

Ideally the mixture should have a soft set; if it is too firm a little more milk can be added to adjust it. If it does not test for a set, cook for a few more minutes.
At that point and not before, separate the egg. Put the white in a spotlessly clean bowl and set to one side. Put the yolk into a separate bowl with the sugar and vanilla extract, if using, and whisk together for a few seconds. Pour the hot milk and carrageen moss through a fine mesh sieve into the egg yolk mixture, whisking all the time. By now the carrageen in the strainer will be swollen and exuding jelly and you will need to press as much of this as possible through the sieve. Use a rubber spatula, scraping any pulp stuck to the outside of the sieve into the egg and milk mixture and whisk to combine. Discard the vanilla pod, if using. Whisk the egg white to a stiff peak and gently fold it into the top of the milk mixture, allowing it to remain as slightly uneven fluffy peaks. Do not be tempted to over mix, as the egg white should create a distinct layer on top. Transfer to the serving dish, or divide between the individual serving glasses, and place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Carrageenan gloop was traditionally also used to treat sore throats, stomach and digestion problems, and chest gunk, as well as being a nice bland food for sick people.
As a household product, it was the super glue of the Irish seacoast, being used as wallpaper glue, plaster hole filler, and to repair false teeth. Posted by: Suburbanbanshee at September 02, 2025 10:23 PM (p2GXS) 108

Guar gum is a lifesaver (well, maybe not lifesaver, but you know what I mean) for people she really have celiac disease (gluten allergy). Gravy, for instance. With the disease, a little gravy is a night of agony. But, drippings, a little rice four and a smidge of guar gum, and they can have mashed potatoes like the rest of us.

Wonder why she doesn't relocate to Israel, if it is so damned important for her to go on about it.

We decided that if a food had an ingredient that we don’t use
Well, that's a pretty stupid criteria. I have sodium citrate specifically because it's used to emulsify cheese. Unless you cook your own Chinese food at home, I'll bet there's lots of ingredients you never use at home - and can't ever eat Chinese out because of it. And you NEVER buy anything preserved, then, either? Because sodium benzoate is the main preservative out there, and I almost guarantee you never use it at home. How about curing meat? Do you eat bacon? If you don't cure it yourself then I will guarantee you never use the things that are used to do exactly that. Posted by: GWB at September 02, 2025 10:53 PM (RTQn+) 157

Vanilla is one of the most exotic flavors on earth. They pick it from an orchid plant and it has to be a particular orchid. there is about a one day leeway in the entire life of that plant where you can pick it.. Julia child rued the day when she could no longer taste vanilla. My guess as to why vanilla became plain as an ingredient is the big ice cream manufacturers stopped, putting in actual vanilla.

I'd rather see more normal people from all walks of life represent average people. What bothers me is she is a corrupt dunce from a family of criminals. Still, she can hardly be worse than Omar, Talib or the rest of the leftist scumbags and we aren't likely to get a Constitutional conservative from Manhattan any time soon.

Kase also was involved in fixing the glitch during the surrender signing. The Canadian representative, Colonel Cosgrove, mistakenly signed on the line for France (he was blind in one eye, a WW I injury). Gen. Sutherland fixed things by crossing out the printed country names and handwriting in Dominion of Canada for France, and vice versa. Japanese perfection in small things for the win (even in signing a surrender!).

It’s so sad to see what happened to the formerly Great Britain.
All started with Tony Blair in the late 90s. You could say the Brits got what they voted for good and hard. But in a parliamentary system with multiple parties labor won majorities of seats with well under 50% of the vote, each time. The destruction of their country was created with a minority of votes.

Two incidents around here over my life of poor guys riding 7200V to ground distribution lines. Killed both of them, but very different behavior. One guy was moving a grain auger manually. If you've ever done it, you're grabbing the tube with your arms lifting it up. Unfortunately a guy was doing that in a grain bin "farm". 7200V 3-phase line coming in to a pole x-former, feeding a service for the motors. He swung it right into the outer phase. His wife missed him for supper. Got a neighbor to help look for him. Neighbor was a Vietnam vet and knew the smell of burning human flesh. Coroner put his remains in buckets. He stood there grabbed onto that energized auger, pulling a pretty good current. He burned alive in that spot.

Incident #2. Guys were working with some aluminum irrigation pipe, 25' sections I think off a truck, laying it down. Again, not paying attention, got under a power line. One of them on the ground next to the truck grabbed the pipe, and stood it up (they wanted to bang it to get any dirt and crap out). It hit a phase. This time, earth resistance was high, not enough current flowed to make anything obvious, but it was enough to drop him right there. The others had no idea what happened. It was only after investigation they discovered slight arc marks on the pipe, and then had the power co confirm arc marks on the phase line as well.

No, that’s per Troy oz.
A US silver dollar is 0.77 oz Troy. The subsidiary coinage - dimes, quarters, and halves, are even less - 0.723 oz Troy. Use these figures to determine the “melt” value of so called junk silver, that has no numismatic value. Posted by: Common Tater at September 02, 2025 11:49 PM (HpBvd) 206

Or I should say 10 silver dimes, or 4 quarters, etc a dollar face value do not make a Troy ounce, rather .723 this is an example of seignorage I suppose.
This meant when the spot price of silver hit approx $1.23 the government had a problem. This started in the 1950s and never looked back. Coins were worth more than their face value.

>> How does one demonitize a coin?
The problem is mostly with pennies and nickels, where the value of the metal content can exceed the face value. For dimes and quarters, that wouldn't be the case, and you'd lose money trying to do that. For pennies, you could make money, which would cost the govt. the difference. Demonetizing is basically a money supply balance operation (it's done as matter of course within the Fed and banking system). It will seem a bit odd maybe at first. But suppose I wanted to melt pennies down, legally. I'd need the approval of the US govt. I would "sell" the pennies back to the govt. who would pay me the face value in other currency. At that point, the pennies would be demonetized, back in the hands of the source, the US Treasury. Then, I'd buy the pennies back from the govt for their metal content value. That would cost me net money. I'd have to pay more money that I got back when they first "bought it back". Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2025 12:31 AM (w6EFb) 227

It got broken years ago, when the 'burb was rear-ended by a Nissan Pathfinder (it found the path to the scene of the accident, LOL). I made an attempt to mend it by plastic-welding, but never got it vacuum-tight. Then something else punched a quarter-sized hole in it, and bunch of the charcoal beads ran out.

The funny thing about coin money is it's very different from federal reserve notes and the digital equivalent. That is created and destroyed by the Fed itself. It's central bank money. However, coin is still "direct" Treasury currency. The Treasury creates it and spends into circulation. For coin, however, the metal content means it's not free money the govt is creating. Seigniorage was traditionally the difference between metal content value and the face value. The govt. gets the difference. That is turned on its head when the metal content is less than face value. Anyway, the way new coin is generally put into circulation is through the Fed and banking system. The Treasury creates the coin and sells it to the Fed. Fed considers it an asset, and creates FRN in digital form against it, which it then puts in the US Treasury's "checking account" at the Fed. When banks need new coin, it's basically a swap. They give the Fed dollars or old coin back in return for the new coin, which balances the money supply operation. If the Fed is just exchanging old coin for new coin, the it will pay the US Treasury back in the old, worn coin, which operation demonetizes it.

So, putting on a shirt on the subway is to protect yourself. That is saying the subway is not safe for women. The only reason I would advise a woman to wear a shirt would be to conceal a weapon, preferably a firearm.

Hi Blondie, I think that UPenn is going to have to cough up some big money to professor Amy Wax. I haven't seen much on her federal lawsuit recently but she is suing them for racial discrimination I think.

maltodextrin, soy lecithin, guar gum Real midwit shit there, three relatively innocuous additives, when pesticides and serious mutagenic chemicals fly by under the radar, not even needing to be listed.

Biting is not wrong if you have consent. That's what my mom said anyway. She's passed no now. Not from the bites though!!

Hubby needs to have his beverages thickened, to prevent aspiration.
The product ("Thick-It") contains: Modified corn starch and Maltodextrin. Helps him more than harms him, as I understand it. Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2025 02:16 AM (rdVOm) 262

A very nice lady I met in July just before Dad passed was murdered by her husband on Monday night. We had met on our city's local Facebook page when I asked for nursing/rehab homes for Dad.
She was a nurse for 18 years and was hoping we could hire her for in-home care. She was battling her own health issues as well. So sad for her kids and grandkids. She had just married this guy in April. https://tinyurl.com/FinneyMurder Posted by: Joyenz at September 03, 2025 02:22 AM (2F0/Y) 264
Wow, Joyenz.. How tragic!
Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2025 02:25 AM (rdVOm) 265
JQ, lots of people call me Blondie. I've heard of that thickener, which helps you not choke. Poor friend of mine with Lou Gehrig's disease said one of her last remaining pleasures was drinking coke, and that thickener destroyed it. I hope your hubby's okay. Joyenz, what the hell!? Posted by: Blonde Morticia at September 03, 2025 02:26 AM (lCaJd) 266
Yeesh, I can't imagine that Thick-It would be good in *any* carbonated drink. No more bubbles.
Hubby's as good today as he'll ever be, methinks. Thanks for asking! Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2025 02:31 AM (rdVOm) 267
Our community is in shock. He was trying to find a place to dump her body. People who knew him said he was an S.O.B. and abusive. She had many health issues including end stage liver failure. I hope she's at peace

Even with thickened drinks, hubby has been coughing a lot, and feeling chilled lately-- the nursing home contacted me today, about doing a chest x-ray.
He's not feverish. Just a bit grumpy. Hoping it's just his inner curmudgeon and not pneumonia. Will know results tomorrow. Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2025 02:39 AM (rdVOm) 271

Thick-it kills the whole point of drinking a coke or a nice hot cup of tea. I hope your husband doesn't know the difference the way my friend did. Joyenz, good lord, she only married him in April.

I'm quietly admitting that a lot of physicists are full of shit. If energy isn't conserved give me my personal home free generator to run my house at no cost.
I've already duplicated enough of Tesla's lesser known work to know that is possible. I'm not talking about his well known big work, he did some smaller work with vacuum tubes that allowed him to generate electricity with them. I have figured out how to do that. I showed my work to my former boss at NASA, and he is of the opinion that it is worth testing. For whatever that is worth.

Moose is good eating.
Posted by: Duncanthrax Go light on the liver. 100 grams is all the Vitamin A you need for a month. Eat 3 months worth of Vitamin A all at once, and it'll give you acute Vitamin A poisoning. So, about 300g or 2/3 pound. "The toxicity symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, irritability, blurred vision, and muscular incoordination [...] dry skin, pruritus, peeling of the palms and soles, and fissuring of the fingertips [...] telogen effluvium [...] bone pain and increased intracranial pressure." You start acting like Joe Biden, you puke, your skin peels off, your hair falls out, and your brain gets squished. Good times. Posted by: mikeski at September 02, 2025 08:06 PM (DgGvY) 154
Charles Bronson and James Coburn co-starred in three films during their careers. Both actors rose to prominence in the 1960s through ensemble Westerns and war movies, and their collaborations spanned iconic ensemble pieces to a gritty character-driven drama.

American actor Lee Marvin was born Lamont Waltman Marvin Jr. in New York City. After leaving school aged 18, Marvin enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in August 1942. He served with the 4th Marine Division in the Pacific Theater during World War II and after being wounded in action and spending a year being treated in naval hospitals, he received a medical discharge. Marvin's military decorations include the Purple Heart Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal and the Combat Action Ribbon.

Note to all Morons: Do not pet the moose. It's a monumentally bad idea to be that close to a wild moose for any reason. Moose are outrageously stupid and often cranky as hell, and can decide to stomp hell out of you without warning.

Speaking of sea otters...
I'm reading a semi-brief history of the fur trade in America. "Fur, Fortune, and Empire: The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America" by Eric Jay Dolin. The furs most sought after began with beaver and that was the mainstay for a couple centuries. The Pilgrims made serious bank on beaver pelts Indians brought-in to trade for wampum (beads carved from shells, dyed, then put on strings), iron pans and kettles, steel knives, and rum. Lots of rum. Until beavers were trapped out of serious money-making populations in the Northeast. Then the New England colonists had to go all-in on cod fishing. It took quite a while but eventually beavers were trapped-out for making serious money, coast to coast. The next big thing was sea otter pelts. The Chinese wanted them at almost any price. Sea otters were hunted into low profitability in a relatively short time in the early-mid 19th Century. I'm nearly up to the period of the buffalo hide craze.

Sturgeon formed a big part of the Jamestown settlement protein early on. They were easy to spear and large and were quickly over-fished. No one realized how slow they mature and breed. Took a long time to build up to a big population. Indians harvested them, but not in huge numbers. They're still in rivers from Savannah and all the way north, but numbers remain small.

Posted by: ShainS -- DogEater Used Killary's RussiaGate to Hide His Own SpyGate at September 03, 2025 12:50 AM (BtEeq) Quick HitsBlack radical communist and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for an insurrection. Other Chicago Democrats are telling Brandon Johnson to swallow his unwarranted crime and accept federal help to stop the bloodshed in Chicago. Not all Democratic politicians are opposed to President Donald Trump using the National Guard to crack down on crime. Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez (D) said he is "absolutely" in favor of the president deploying the military to The Windy City in order to thwart lawlessness, before adding he has a "real hard time accepting" his fellow party members who are opposed to the idea. "Chicagoans want to feel safe in the city of Chicago," Lopez told Fox News. "They want to know that they can leave their homes and come back safely, they could go to work, they could sit on their front steps, [and] their kids can go to school without being shot at." Lopez shared his thoughts during a brief segment on Fox News Live on Saturday afternoon. The 47-year-old Democrat told Fox correspondent Rich Edson he would love to see the Trump Administration deploy the National Guard to Chicago, just like he did recently in Washington, D.C., because he is sick of seeing teenagers shot dead in his community. "So when I hear my Democratic colleagues tell me, 'Don't worry, crime is down -- Trump, stay home in Washington,' I have a real hard time accepting that," Lopez continued. He added his city has "always coordinated" with the federal government and federal agencies, like the FBI and DEA, to combat crime. The only thing that has changed now, though, is that Trump is in charge -- and that is why Democrats are opposed to it, according to Lopez. "All of a sudden, now we don't want to work with them -- but we still want their grant money," Lopez said. "So there's a serious disconnect in what's going on here on the ground. But overwhelmingly, anything that helps bring peace -- as we saw, increase public safety in Washington, D.C. over the past 30 days -- they want that here as well."Somehow, a destitute refugee who married her brother as an immigration scam got elected to Congress and wound up a multimillionaire. Bad HombreHere's a Fox Report. She previously attacked people who said she was a millionaire, claiming they were lying. NY Post: $quad Goals. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure -- a document filed just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as "ridiculous" and "categorically false." The disclosure, filed in May, shows the far-left "Squad" lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023.Michael Shellenberger: The authoritarian leftist government of Germany is blocking an AfD candidate from running for mayor, because... he likes Lord of the Rings and that confirms our paranoias that he's a Secret Nazi. BTW, he was praising the woke LOTR fan-fiction, "Rings of Power." You'd think that praising a woke race-swapped girlboss fantasy would be an affirmative defense to a charge of Nazism. Most of the left-wing governments of Europe are now repealing democracy. Because they hate democracy -- they are, and always have been, communists determined to rule through sheer will to power. The masks are coming off because their positions are so unpopular that the popular vote is no longer a viable path to power, even with cheating. The more they refuse to adapt to the popular will, the more they have to crack down on the opposition -- "the opposition" meaning the majority of the citizenry-- which then makes them even more unpopular and forces them to break the laws to remain in power, because they know, the moment they're turned out of power, prison awaits. ![]() Yesterday I watched an episode on Triggernometry to which I was glued. Historian of war David Betz sat down with Francis and Konstantine to discuss the likelihood of civil conflict in the UK, and Betz was quite clear--and gloomy about it--that the UK was just a spark away from an insurgency. He isn't sure what form it will take, but the conditions are ripe for civil conflict. The episode is long--an hour and a half--and I watched it through. If you are interested in the subject, you should too.That video is here. I haven't watched it myself, but I've seen him speaking before. He has held the belief that the UK is on the verge of a civil war for a while.

"Rose Lake Capital's assets were valued at between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 by the end of 2024. The company had less than $1,000 in assets the previous year."
This is the same scam Hunter Biden ran with the Chinese. Wealth management fees typically can be around 2% per year, so if they have 25 mil, that's 500k in cash per year off the top. Biden was pulling in nine figures from the CCP for his version, joined, iirc, by one John Kerry's kids. Oddly, also a "Rose" something name I think. It's even better than the book advance scam.

Arresting people for tweets or posts is designed to intimidate them, but it is doing the opposite, because at this point a criminal charge is a badge of honor, and the more of these people you cite, the larger the group of people become who have a deep personal interest in overthrowing the system.
What's interesting is the the UK is actually grossly weaker in terms of security forces than 1936 Spain was, more heavily urbanized and therefore more vulnerable to a rural insurgency. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 02, 2025 06:22 PM (ZOv7s) 21

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 02, 2025 06:27 PM (ZOv7s) Most anyone would be shocked at how pathetically weak the British Army (and Navy) is now.

His Defense chiefs said umm, hold on a minute, with a couple months notice we might could find 5,000 men but that'd be the limit. Then they looked at tanks, and the word quietly leaked out that Britain only has (iirc) 26 operational battle tanks left in the entire country. There's another couple hundred that are down waiting on parts; many of them have been down for 5 - 10 years, as the factories that made those parts were all closed.

31 20 Arresting people for tweets or posts is designed to intimidate them, but it is doing the opposite, because at this point a criminal charge is a badge of honor, and the more of these people you cite, the larger the group of people become who have a deep personal interest in overthrowing the system.

Tom Servo and AH,
Tony Robinson, aka Black Adder's Baldrick, had a tv program about Britain' True Monarch, from wiki "The programme based its thesis on the centuries-old claim that Edward IV was illegitimate, born to Cecily, Duchess of York, by an English archer while her husband, Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, was fighting elsewhere in France. The legitimacy of Edward IV was the subject of speculation at the time, and a document in Rouen Cathedral is presented by Dr Michael Jones as indicating that Richard and Cecily were about 100 miles (160 km) apart during the five-week period when Edward's conception must have occurred (assuming that the pregnancy went to a normal term). A number of historians have since challenged the conclusions reached by the programme. If Edward were indeed illegitimate, then he and his descendants would have had no valid claim to the throne, so the programme suggests that the 'real' monarchs were the heirs of his legitimate brother George, Duke of Clarence (Plantagent line). At the time, this line was represented by The 14th Earl of Loudoun aka Michael Hastings, who had emigrated to Australia in 1960." Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 06:46 PM (WDjG6) 133

Some fodder for a conspiracy. Six AfD candidates for municipal elections have died suddenly and "unexpectedly" very close to the elections. Here's Eugyppius on that here: https://tinyurl.com/25kwjny3 Some are claiming "statistically impossible". Given the large number of these local candidates all over the area, this is a unlikely event, but not impossibly rare, ~1/200 to ~1/250. So, this is anomalous.

This sounds extreme, and I am not endorsing anything, I am only stating an opinion about what I think is the only way to change things.
1. Curt all benefits to able bodied. Coral them up into ghettos. 2. Cut all benefits to non-native and their families. Say for 25 years minimum. 3. Hang a lot of politicians and enablers (NGO (quango's), corporate interests, EU politicians. ...) 4 Remote trepanation of a certain religion until they fear walking the streets and ALL self deport.

I was always struck with how much England was a class society.
The upper classes lived in a different country. The lower classes either accepted it, lived off the dole, or emigrated. Emigration was always a safety valve for the English.

This is all from memory, so some of the details are fuzzy. Posted by: Hour of the Wolf You are correct. As a result, the uneasy compromise was that Parliament controlled the army and the King controlled the marines aka Royal Marines and the Royal Navy. Difficult to use those against the nation to reinstall a Stuart monarchy is why. England's history is also why the US was reluctant at first to have a large standing army. The Marines and Navy were viewed as controlled by the President but the Army was viewed as a Congressional prerogative to be built upon only on Declaration of War. Then WWII and Cold War occurred.

There's not the tiniest bit of "tables turned", or "goose for the gander", or breaking a norm that enables abuses against you in all of this investigation of previous intel, DOJ, FBI people.
What's being investigated are actual crimes, historic abuses of power. Those abuses had ridiculous and obviously invalid pretexts, "predicates" that were slim to non-existent.

England's history is also why the US was reluctant at first to have a large standing army. The Marines and Navy were viewed as controlled by the President but the Army was viewed as a Congressional prerogative to be built upon only on Declaration of War. Then WWII and Cold War occurred.
Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 07:10 PM (WDjG6) Another part of that is that afterwards England always kept a very small standing army at home - most of their effort was put into the Navy or later, into their colonies. It was the memory, and the lesson, that large armies sitting around at home more often than not can make a whole lot of trouble, and end up running things themselves.

Disagree. He's a dope. Mayor Bowers in DC came out today and said she wants the feds in DC longterm. That was the smart play. These Democrats cities didn't become lawless shitholes by magic. They happened because of Democrat Party policies like defund the police, flood with illegals, no cash bail and don't prosecute criminals. If they don't change then the crime will return as soon as the feds leave. Democrat cities are the natural result of far left, globalist bullshit. People are waking up even in the cities and want this shit gone.

Back in the old days, the Navy was bought out of the King's pocket.
Posted by: Oldcat ------- Look up Ships Tax. Ancient levies on cities and towns with charters to pay for ships. Became one of the issues in the fight between Charles I and Parliament. There is a reason that cityfolk by and large did not support the king--he was the one squeezing them for money while his power base was the agricultural barons. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 07:14 PM (WDjG6) Sure, but that was well past the Henries bought their boats and had them sink in harbor. As time went on they found other means. Charles' real issue was he didn't want to call a Parliament for them to make him give concessions or dicker on items they wanted, and Charles found he could get along pretty well by French bribes.

Charles demanded that cities give him the money for ships (of course money is fungible and he intended to use it elsewhere likely). The ship's tax had been used off and on dating back centuries whenever a fleet was needed in a hurry. Same as feudal duties were assigned far later by kings simply to shake down nobles for pocket change.
Charles ran into a problem though as his bribes became insufficient and he refused to get rid of Lord Buckingham and other incompetent ministers that were spending him into the poorhouse. He was forced by penury to call Parliament back for taxes which ultimately cost him his head. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 07:22 PM (WDjG6) 328

Want to accelerate the trend, allow private citizen lawsuits against state and local officials for violating constitutional rights and kill their qualified immunity for such in courts. Qualified immunity is an odious doctrine developed by the Rehnquist court in order to stop lawsuits from criminal defendants suing illegal actions by law enforcement.

s going to let this one reach the proper conclusion to set the battlespace for the actually important action: the tariff suit.
Why don't we get the names of the plaintiffs on these incredibly anti-American lawsuits? If you are so proud that you can torpedo tariffs and reduce the negotiating strength of the Executive, cause hundreds of billions of revenue to be lost so that the $37T debt escalates even quicker to insolvency, and benefit "small businesses" that are nothing more than storefronts of the CCP. I think We The People should not only get names, but home addresses and names of family members of every single asshole that files these destructive lawsuits.

Hope Trump has a plan B... I don't trust SCOTUS
Posted by: It's me donna If agreements are already made between countries, then the lawsuits from corporations or individuals from those nations are going to be mooted. It is also less likely that foreign corporations, etc. have standing to challenge constitutional powers of tariffs which date back to the origins of the US republic. The thin reed of hope is that Scotus overturns an emergency finding by the president as retaliatory tariffs have a specific intelligible principle under the JW Hampton case (delegation doctrine)--that is to retaliate against unfair tariffs levied by another nation on US products. The arguments on tariffs are between nations, not individual companies nor individuals which points toward the old case of Curtiss Wright v. US. In that, the president is considered the sole organ for international policy and when his power is augmented by Congressional law, his power is at its maximum (see Justice Jackson's concurrence in Youngstown Sheet and Tube v. Sawyer). Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 05:32 PM (WDjG6) 81
If Trump loses the tariff case he’ll just find another way to do it. IIRC, even the district court that originally decided he couldn’t do it this way laid out a roadmap for him to do it. I think this is all theater.

73 If the SCOTUS overrules the plain letter of the law, passed by Congress, concerning Trump’s delegated power to set tariffs, it will be time to revisit Marbury vs. Madison!
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit ============= My guess is Scotus will dispose of this case via no standing for individuals or corporations to challenge because the negotiations between sovereign countries allocate no power for individuals nor corporations to affect those. Same reason it is so difficult to sue sovereign countries in US courts. Also this case deals with Congress having plenary constitutional power to tax and delegating that power by legislation to the President. In the case of tariffs, the Court already answered that via JW Hampton case back in 1928. Still cited as THE precedent regarding delegation of powers by legislative to the executive.

I started reading the opinion.
Normally, the appeal court will note all the basis for appeal and then only discuss in detail the one (easiest) grounds for their ruling. Here, they went through each and every point of why each basis for clown judge Clunken's ruling and why it "is real retarded." My fave was the Administrative Procedures Act discussion. Like, "you all know damned good and well there is very specific caselaw on this and you flat-out ignored all of it to make that ruling."

FWIW, this snippet of JW Hampton case in 1928 is worthwhile,
"Congress has the authority to legislate and regulate commerce and customs dues. § 315 of the of the Tariff Act (42 Stat. 85 delegated authority to the Executive to raise the rate fixed by the statute (the "flexible tariff provision"). Delegation of rate-fixing to commissions was not unusual, and customs duties are similar to rate-fixing, Justice Taft said: "If it is thought wise to vary the customs duties according to changing conditions of production at home and abroad, it may authorize the Chief Executive to carry out this purpose, with the advisory assistance of a Tariff Commission appointed under Congressional authority." Nuff said. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 05:33 PM (WDjG6) ++++ The ruling is that Trump exceeded that delegated authority. Whether that ruling has merit or not, I do not know.

Posted by: Joe Mannix Go read JW Hampton Meatpacking case first. Essentially for Trump to exceed his authority--it has to a) directly contradict statutes, b) it has to have no intelligible principle behind it. The burden is on the plaintiffs to show both by a preponderance of evidence and to get an injunction, must show the likelihood they will succeed at trial plus irreparable harm. In addition, they must meet standing requirements as in some decisions involving international affairs are political questions where solely Congress and the president have power, not courts. Unless Scotus wants to overrule literally centuries of deference in tariff laws dating back literally to the First Congress, plus the delegation of much of its enforcement to the president, the plaintiffs will lose.

Posted by: blake Has to do with the emergency provisions but the problem for the courts is that a number of countries have already negotiated settlements on tariffs which basically undercuts any plaintiffs from those nations being able to maintain standing. Once the agreements are made, it becomes more like an executive agreement with another country under delegated authority from Congress to the prezy. My guess is that the court will walk away from the landmine with Roberts Court declining standing or using mootness depending on the plaintiffs involved. Essentially the lower courts and plaintiffs are arguing that the President is acting unreasonable--but that demands a very high std to get an injunction let alone win a case--proving arbitrary and capricious means that Trump can demonstrate no rational reason why he levied those tariffs--any rational reason provided then must be given deference by the courts (not hacks in black) requiring the plaintiffs to prove irrational application of the tariffs to them.

This is blatant election interference by institutions that are supposed to remain neutral. That’s why the Arizona Free Enterprise Club has filed a Hatch Act complaint against ASU and is calling for a full investigation into this outrageous misuse of power.

I will tell you now, there is not currently and probably never will be desire on Scotus to overturn the NFA nor the 1968 GCA.
The NFA is clearly unconstitutional; 1. you can't tax a right. 2. The 2nd amendment follows and modifies the main body's taxing power not the other way around. However the US Gov Knows the NFA is unconstitutional. When a law is found unconstitutional it is as if it never existed, and the government would be liable financially for every arrest and imprisonment under the NFA, the same way DC was liable for every arrest and false imprisonment under the law it lost in Heller. That cost DC 100's of millions of dollars in damages. The gov would owe billions in damages as soon as the NFA becomes unconstitutional. That is why it will never be found unconstitutional.

“Qualified” immunity makes sense.
However, most definitely not when they break the law. As it is now, the only thing a successful lawsuit accomplishes is to enrich attorneys and impoverish the taxpayer. The rogue cop shop doesn’t see any penalty, the municipality has to float another bond issue (throw it on the pile with the rest) and raise property taxes. There has to be full support of duly sworn law enforcement, and the public should be held to high standards as well. Cops have little incentive to be nothing but “tourists in blue” and.take a nap behind the shuttered K-mart till their shift is over. The “leaders” will throw them under the bus so quickly if something goes sideways. Morale, recruiting and retention suffers as a result.

Posted by: An Observation ======== No, it does not work that way. Basically the Scotus can and does refuse to apply their rulings retroactively including any liability for past actions. This also includes leaving people in prison for in serious criminal cases if their case was decided before Scotus change the law (common enough in search and seizure) The reason that the NFA is likely to survive rest with Scotus judges and other elites being a bit sensitive to letting people like Troon boy getting machine guns right now.

No, it does not work that way. Basically the Scotus can and does refuse to apply their rulings retroactively including any liability for past actions. This also includes leaving people in prison for in serious criminal cases if their case was decided before Scotus change the law (common enough in search and seizure)
As usual you are full of shit. The Heller loss cost DC $450,000,000 in damages. NY is also liable for its false arrests under the Sullivan law it lost in Bruen. What part of "It is as though it never existed" do you not understand? An unconstitutional law grants no power and it never did.

Poaching:
The Federal Reserve was created to care for and protect the fortunes of the wealthiest Americans and their bankers. The gauges used to determine rates are pegged to aggregate data that is skewed by the fortunes of the wealthy. ... ,,,the 'Establishment' is squirming like no other period in memory. They control all the levers of influence & continue to lose. They will never stop trying to put things back in place which means wealth accumulation is skewed in favor of the wealthy. Barriers disguised as good deeds keep the masses corralled in a pool of self-doubt, content with keeping up with the Jones' via high credit card bills and living paycheck to paycheck. To break the system individuals must establish their own priorities. Buying crap you don't need shouldn't be on that list. _proprietary Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 02, 2025 06:25 PM (TxhP3) 183

"They've explained it ten times now, and they're angry that they even have to explain it, because this is well-settled law going back more than a hundred years."
I wrote almost the extract same thing here a few weeks ago, word for word. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at September 02, 2025 06:52 PM (D1vbu) Confirmed: Lisa Cook Didn't Just Claim a Second Home as Her Primary Home. She's Renting Out Her "Primary Homes" as Income-Generating Investment PropretiesAs I mentioned before, primary homes are granted more favorable (lower) mortgage interest rates both for the public policy reason of promoting home ownership, and for the utilitarian reason that people default less on mortgages if it's their primary home. No one, the underlying theory goes, walks away from one's only home lightly. Obviously, Lisa Cook lied to get these lower interest rates, defrauding lenders into giving her the lower mortgage interest rate reserved for primary homes. But it's worse than that. This isn't just Lisa Cook buying two houses and living in both while maintaining, falsely, that both are her "primary home." In fact, she doesn't even live in them. They're simply rental properties -- the sort of properties people will default on if they find that the income-generating value of the property falls below the costs of the mortgage and upkeep. Yes, she would be guilty of mortgage fraud whether these are secondary residences for her or just rental properties owned for income, but the fact that they're rental properties reduces the numbers of defenses she can claim. She can't just say "Oh, sometimes I live in one and sometimes in the other, I guess I just couldn't make up my mind which was my primary home." If you're renting the property out, obviously you're not confused about whether it's your primary residence. The fact that strangers are living there means that you're provably aware that not only isn't this your primary residence, it's not your residence of any kind, primary or secondary. In addition: She claims a third home is a "secondary residence," which is also just a rental property. And this, as you know, proves that Trump is a racist.Michigan Enjoyer

"primary homes are granted more favorable (lower) mortgage interest rates"
Ace, there are usually other benefits to a "primary" residence than just lower interest rates: 1. The mortgage down payment is lower 2. Insurance rates are lower, on the theory that the home owner is going to take better care of his primary home than a secondary (let along a home filled with tenants who don't give a shit about the property) 3. Tax benefits, depending on jurisdiction and filing status, including capital gains upon sale. There's a reason claiming "primary" residence on second homes is a common thing: it's a significant financial benefit, easily tens of thousands of dollars over the years.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 03:58 PM (iFTx/) It's something that Ace is bringing up but doesn't dig into quite enough. The reason why interest rates are lower for primary residences is because those homeowners will make extra financial sacrifices to ensure that the mortgage is paid on the homes they actually live in - sacrifices that don't necessarily get made for investment properties. As such, they should be (in theory) less risky. Less risk, lower interest rate. Posted by: Darrell Harris at September 02, 2025 04:05 PM (Lj7yB) 57

True fact, if you have a dollar in 1790's, it would be worth slightly more than one dollar in 1913 if not spent nor invested (leaving aside the collector's value). But, if you had a dollar in 1913 and did not spend nor invest it, it would be worth about 3 cents. What happened in 1913? The Federal Reserve started operations.
Posted by: whig == The federal reserve was created to "stabilize" our currency. It has since devalued our dollar 99.9% since its creation. Before the Fed, a dollar from the 1700's was worth about the same it was until the end of the 1800's. basically zero inflation. Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 04:09 PM (4pwAx) 84

Anyway this flavor of mortgage fraud is likely practiced by a yuuuge % of members of Congress (both parties), as well as other prominent Beltway types.
------ Of course it is. These people are obligate crimivores. They're all stealing, and I would hope this recent rash of mortgage prosecutions is being accompanied by midnight phone calls saying things like "hello? Judge Stickyfingers? Did you see the news? Well, there but for the grace of Trump goes you. Remember that when we see you in Court - because we will be, one way or another, your "honor."

There was no tax law broken in getting cheaper mortgages. As long as the rental income is declared that’s all the IRS cares about.
In fact, if she paid a higher mortgage that would be a bigger deduction against the income and the IRS would get less money. So the IRs is more than happy to go along with this type of mortgage fraud. Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at September 02, 2025 04:10 PM (tNkpt) 92

i]Before the Fed, a dollar from the 1700's was worth about the same it was until the end of the 1800's. basically zero inflation.
Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 04:09 PM (4pwAx) There was inflation during the Civil war when the Treasury allowed banks to issue currency backed by federal bonds instead of gold or silver specie, and there was periodic inflation during the "free banking" period between 1865 and 1890's , though those inflation were based on easy credit periods and were resolved in the panics that followed when the banks that issued the currency in excess to reserves defaulted and went bankrupt. There was inflation during the period, but it was washed out of the system by defaults. The creation of the Fed was an attempt to prevent defaults. This made inflation permanent The second cause of inflation post WWI was the US expanding credit to try to forestall the default of the UK Pound due to their own war time inflation: The Treasury decided to inflate the US Dollar so the gold and investments would not flee the UK's weak currency to the US Dollar. In cheapening the dollar through inflation it cause both the 1920's boom and contributed to the Depression Posted by: Kindltot at September 02, 2025 04:24 PM (rbvCR) 162

Posted by: Formerly Virginian ============= Thomas Sowell straightened that out for me. I always wondered wth was going on with all these corrupt Black female officials -- mayors, AGs, I lost count of them. Many of them so bad they were prosecuted, which is something. Sowell said that Black people should NOT aim directly for political power, but for economic power. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I see: Get rich and then let the politicians follow YOU. Instead, undeserving DEIbies have parachuted into political power instead of working their way up to it. This is the result. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at September 02, 2025 04:26 PM (lCaJd) 182

Also the fight over the gold v silver standards, William Jenning Bryant's speech, had to do with how to set up an inflationary system by revaluing silver against gold, Silver being the basic price component of coinage and dollars.
The US was weird because only it and China insisted on Silver valuation on money, the US has it set in the Constitution Since it was an inflation based on specie valuation, there is a lot of argument still as to whether that was a significant inflation versus the current fiat inflation.

161. There was inflation during the period, but it was washed out of the system by defaults. The creation of the Fed was an attempt to prevent defaults. This made inflation permanent
The second cause of inflation post WWI was the US expanding credit to try to forestall the default of the UK Pound due to their own war time inflation: The Treasury decided to inflate the US Dollar so the gold and investments would not flee the UK's weak currency to the US Dollar. In cheapening the dollar through inflation it cause both the 1920's boom and contributed to the Depression --------- The root cause is People who think they understand and can control anything more complex than a flowerpot.

There was inflation during the Civil war when the Treasury allowed banks to issue currency backed by federal bonds instead of gold or silver specie, and there was periodic inflation during the "free banking" period between 1865 and 1890's , though those inflation were based on easy credit periods and were resolved in the panics that followed when the banks that issued the currency in excess to reserves defaulted and went bankrupt.
Posted by: Kindltot === Prices went up and down, but it was something like a war, etc that made this happen. Basic supply and demand. Commodity values and demand would change. Not monetary policy where some pseudo-bureaucrat was tinkering with things. But if say there was a spike in demand from a country needing lead to make bullets, you would see prices go up and then settle back down. It was better than what we have now.

Principal Residence Exemption (PRE)
This is the most common use of the term "homestead" in Michigan. It exempts your primary residence from a portion of local school operating taxes, which is usually an 18-mill reduction. Georgia Revenue Service Property Tax Homestead Exemptions Generally, a homeowner is entitled to a homestead exemption on their home and land underneath provided the home was owned by the homeowner and was their legal residence as of January 1 of the taxable year. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-40). To be granted a homestead exemption: A person must actually occupy the home, and the home is considered their legal residence for all purposes. Persons that are away from their home because of health reasons will not be denied homestead exemption. A family member or friend can notify the tax receiver or tax commissioner and the homestead exemption will be granted.

ok I'll post the same quote again from eugyppius:
"In all, twelve candidates have died in NRW. Six of these candidates are from the AfD. Three (Ralph Lange, Wolfgang Klinger and René Herford) had serious pre-existing conditions, a fourth (Wolfgang Seitz) also had health issues and died of a heart attack, a fifth (Stefan Berendes) is said only to have died of natural causes, and a sixth (Patrick Tietze) committed suicide. This information comes from the AfD in NRW, and ultimately from the bereaved families of each of these candidates. These are not mere cover stories, in other words." possible that AfD being a newer party has more candidates running per office, maybe due to more enthusiasm or just being new and not as sclerotic. here's a link to eugyppius on this: https://tinyurl.com/stzmn84c Posted by: Black Orchid at September 02, 2025 04:41 PM (Pv3Rg) 266

Constitution requires you be tried in the district and state where the crime was committed. That is why some claim that DC residents can actually be tried somewhere else if Congress decrees.
6th Amendment in part, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law. . . .

I have the Homestead thing in SC. It knocks off $50,000 from the assessed value for property tax purposes.
In Calif, the homestead declaration, is stronger. If you are sued, you are protected from complete loss, $100,000 if I am not mistaken. When I went to refinance a home, the lender would require a release from the homestead declaration. Fine. I would file a new one the next day.

India government reports that the truck driver who killed three people. Has ties to a terrorist organization that is linked to hundreds of murders in India. He wasn't poor, his family is wealthy. His family owns multiple farms in his country. He paid $25k to be smuggled across our southern border. Paid, $400 to an Indian politician, to claim the status of "asylum seeker" with the Biden Administration. Went through a bogus truck driving school in Washington State, not being able to read or write anything in English. That company's license has been suspended along with another company offering illegals the same scheme of obtaining a CDL without any restrictions. It ISN'T racist to require individuals who come here to be able to speak OUR national language. It's about safety. Right now our border is 98.7% closed.

Posted by: LASue It gets complicated but the nexus aka laws where the property is located is probably dispositive because signing via something like Docusign is literally in cyberspace where-ever in the internet the servers are which is very hard to tell nowadays with cloud computing. At least two of the properties were financed by an odd little credit union composed of employees in DC of the IMF and World Bank. There are some questions whether she even matches the requirement of that credit union for membership. Loan rates reported were in the 2.75-3.25 range.

Prices went up and down, but it was something like a war, etc that made this happen. Basic supply and demand. Commodity values and demand would change. Not monetary policy where some pseudo-bureaucrat was tinkering with things.
But if say there was a spike in demand from a country needing lead to make bullets, you would see prices go up and then settle back down. It was better than what we have now. Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 04:34 PM (4pwAx) Bond backed currency were called Greenbacks, and they traded at a discount to specie, especially in the West. The Federal government did not refute them, so they were traded at lower prices, which increased slowly, and traded at par by the 1880's This is separate from the dislocations caused by war production soaking up available resources. Since the treasuries issued to bonds it was federal spending, and the money was essential fiat in that it was debt based (redeemable at face when the bonds were redeemed) it was a monetary policy change that created the price and inflation. The fact that coinage and specie backed bank notes also existed cushioned the problem as well, just no one liked greenbacks. Posted by: Kindltot at September 02, 2025 04:57 PM (rbvCR) 322

There was no tax law broken in getting cheaper mortgages. As long as the rental income is declared that’s all the IRS cares about.
In fact, if she paid a higher mortgage that would be a bigger deduction against the income and the IRS would get less money. So the IRs is more than happy to go along with this type of mortgage fraud.

I don't know that freezing Maduro's assets and putting a price on his head can work.
His source of power is the military connections he inherited from Hugo Chavez. Those guys effectively own everything of value in VZ, by dint of their cozy relationship with the Socialist Party. If they do a coup on Maduro, it could easily topple the Party altogether, along with their extremely lucrative gang operation they're running. I think they'll defend that idiot to the bitter end.

Prices went up and down, but it was something like a war, etc that made this happen. Basic supply and demand. Commodity values and demand would change. Not monetary policy where some pseudo-bureaucrat was tinkering with things.
But if say there was a spike in demand from a country needing lead to make bullets, you would see prices go up and then settle back down. It was better than what we have now. Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 04:34 PM (4pwAx) == I'd disagree. Because we had inflation and deflation swings - the entire 19th century was full of it. Did it average out the same - perhaps, I trust Whig and Kindelot on that. But it left huge damage in its wake. The problem is always the politics of decision making. Powell was slow to raise rates when Biden dumped a bunch more money into peoples already full pockets. He did a cut befoer the election to help Biden, and then refused to cut them for Trump, maintaining, falsely, that tariffs cause inflation, when everyone knows they are deflationary effects.

He paid $25k to be smuggled across our southern border. Paid, $400 to an Indian politician, to claim the status of "asylum seeker" with the Biden Administration. Went through a bogus truck driving school in Washington State, not being able to read or write anything in English. That company's license has been suspended along with another company offering illegals the same scheme of obtaining a CDL without any restrictions. It ISN'T racist to require individuals who come here to be able to speak OUR national language. It's about safety. Right now our border is 98.7% closed.

Posted by: Ben Mr Sears at September 02, 2025 07:31 PM (vM11h) Jerry Nadler, Who Dropped a Load on Live TV, Will Retire to Spend More Time With His OdorsThe New York Times calls him "The Old Guard," which is accurate enough. Nadler, Pillar of Democratic Party's Old Guard, Will Retire Next Year Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress's leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party. The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Mr. Nadler at the center of major civil rights battles and three presidential impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of Manhattan. In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, Mr. Nadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that President Trump is threatening the foundations of democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard. "Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that," Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor "can maybe do better, can maybe help us more." Mr. Nadler, who is both the longest-serving New Yorker and Jewish member of the House, had already been swept up in an intraparty reckoning over aging leaders. He was forced to give up his House Judiciary Committee leadership at the beginning of the term when it became clear a younger, more energetic colleague would beat him. Back home, he was facing a 26-year-old primary challenger. ...Indeed. NY courts redrew NYC's Congressional districts. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, two hard-left liberals, were forced to compete in the same primary when their districts were merged. Nader defeated Maloney. And now he says he's too old to continue serving. Ted Stryker has thoughts. ... Mr. Nadler said last week that he was now fearful Mr. Trump was bent on undoing much of what he had fought for in Congress.A big impetus for his decision: He's pro-Israel in a party that is now pro-Hamas terrorism and pro-Second-Holocaujst. ... For years, he has tried to stake out space for a politics that was both pro-Israel and progressive. But in the interview, he conceded that Israel's brutal prosecution of the war in Gaza had not only turned Democrats against a former ally "to a very major extent" but made his own position increasingly hard to maintain. "I don't know what to say at this point," he said. "I can't defend what Israel is doing." Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza "without question." Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'd be interested to see what happens to the Jewish vote when these old dinosaurs (Schumer is another) all get kicked to the curb. Does the Jewish vote continue being so lopsidedly Democratic when they are increasingly unwelcome in positions of power in the party? Because the young GOP isn't all that pro (or anti) Israel. Continue having every "civil rights" organization or teachers union have a head with a vaguely Ashkenazic surname, and the whole party might look like Tucker Carlson in a generation. On the other hand, fill the GOP with lots more people like Stephen Miller and the Libs of TikTok lady, and the GOP could look VERY different. But the Jewish vote can't keep being 65%-70% Democratic if you want a pro-Israel/anti-caliphate GOP in the future.

He's legitimately fearful of what his erstwhile allies will do to him or his family if he sticks around. Democrats made common cause with troglodytic savages whose hatred of apostates far exceeds their contempt for infidels, and given that Islam is as much or more a political ideology as a religion, that leaves the Nadlers of the party (indeed, among leftists around the world) dead men walking. Their only hope is to duck out like the cowards they've always been, cowards who ceded their parties and countries to barbarians.

So when Monday came and Our Favorite President(tm) was still very much alive and perpetrating the MAGA agenda, the very same Gaslighting Goblins literally declared he was dead anyway. It was bizarre.

In a letter dated June 3, Reps. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Jamie Raskin, D-Md., urged Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the Department of Homeland Security after agents stormed Nadler’s congressional office and handcuffed one of his aides. Nadler and Raskin wrote that these “intimidation tactics are completely unwarranted and cannot be tolerated.” They go on to assert that the behavior is a part of a “broader pattern” of the Trump administration’s use of “unlawful, chaotic and reckless tactics.” Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 03:11 PM (RHGPo) 97

Does the Jewish vote continue being so lopsidedly Democratic when they are increasingly unwelcome in positions of power in the party? Because the young GOP isn't all that pro (or anti) Israel. Continue having every "civil rights" organization or teachers union have a head with a vaguely Ashkenazic surname, and the whole party might look like Tucker Carlson in a generation. On the other hand, fill the GOP with lots more people like Stephen Miller and the Libs of TikTok lady, and the GOP could look VERY different. But the Jewish vote can't keep being 65%-70% Democratic if you want a pro-Israel/anti-caliphate GOP in the future.
Posted by: The Lower Depths === The GOP has been lopsidedly pro-Israel for the last 50 years and it really hasn't moved the needle. When I was reading some exit polls, I believe the one group Kamala did better with than Trump versus Biden was Jewish voters. Israel is just not their focus. I actually think Evangelical Christians care more about Israel than jewish americans. Posted by: Leupold at September 02, 2025 03:11 PM (4pwAx) 99

Stir in radical Muzzies and oligarchical funding equals trouble right here in River City. That's trouble with a capital T.
At a minimum, weeks of rations, being able to store potable water, and have some sort of arrangement for power, medicines, plus security measures including neighbors etc. is smart thinking at this point.

I'd be interested to see what happens to the Jewish vote when these old dinosaurs (Schumer is another) all get kicked to the curb. Does the Jewish vote continue being so lopsidedly Democratic when they are increasingly unwelcome in positions of power in the party? Because the young GOP isn't all that pro (or anti) Israel. Continue having every "civil rights" organization or teachers union have a head with a vaguely Ashkenazic surname, and the whole party might look like Tucker Carlson in a generation. On the other hand, fill the GOP with lots more people like Stephen Miller and the Libs of TikTok lady, and the GOP could look VERY different. But the Jewish vote can't keep being 65%-70% Democratic if you want a pro-Israel/anti-caliphate GOP in the future.

Calling the lottery a tax on stupid people or the innumerate misses something: a ticket's psychic value. They're selling hope, however unlikely that hope is to materialize. There's intangible value even for those who lose that you are not taking into account; its value isn't solely in winning. Maybe you think that's valueless, but the ticket buyers don't. It's much like gambling in general: a seldom profitable venture. But gamblers enjoy gambling apart from winning, which is why they keep doing it even if they lose.

Remember the video of the Scottish girl brandishing weapons at a "migrant" who was following and taunting her?
There have been developments. The girls claimed the woman who had been photographed with the migrant had attacked one of them, yanking her down to the ground, and both of them kicked the girl in the head. This is a third girl who isn't on the video. The video starts after the attack and the girl brandishes the weapons to get the man to leave the two girls alone. Scottish police "investigated" and claimed CCTV PROVED there was no attack and the girls were lying. But there is NHS documentation the girl sustained a concussion and now Scottish police claim they've "lost" the footage that proved no attack occurred. http://tiny.cc/vd0s001 Posted by: bonhomme at September 02, 2025 03:49 PM (lIio7) 338

We've been interdicting these things off/on for many years, this appears to be a more serious version of that approach. Good practice. Just hope they're using gunnery, and not the $$$$$$ ordnance we've made just about our only naval weapons.
Posted by: rhomboid at September 02, 2025 03:52 PM (U/Byj) I am told the Dutch Navy and the US Navy are working together for interdiction off the coast of Venezuela. My personal bet is that the US Navy is pre-positioned in case the Brazilians start a coup/counter-coup. At the moment they are all het up about the amount of USAID money that flooded the country through NGOs just after Bolsinaro won, and certain groups think this funded Lula and his Commie party's voter fraud.

This is part of the belief system of the Magic Kids that run the Democrats:
If we speak it, it will be. Demonic. It is becoming an obsession by the left "this day is the day Trump will die." I have never thought the death of any individual on the left would end their movement or power--Obama, Biden, Soros, etc. But the left is completely consumed with the belief that the death of Trump will end MAGA. Of course, the reality is, his death will stop nothing, will not be enough. And so, if it takes millions of deaths (your death), that's a reasonable price to pay, they believe, if it gets them back in power.

From the weekend:
Bluesky: I'm not doing the conspiracy thing, and I don't think Trump is actually dead. (We're not that lucky.) But are these the same person? Or has he had radical plastic surgery on his ear in the last three days? We do know that Trump's ears have magically miraculous healing capabilities after all. Maybe he's reposting older photos? I was hoping he was headed for the exit, but at least he got an eyeful on social media of the number of people waiting and hoping for his demise! How would it feel to realize so many people hate you? Are you sure that's new footage & not a body double? Obviously, given their use of doubles with Melania, it's not beyond them. We are so anxious for him to go away that we overreact to any hint of his health. Normal reaction on our part but we have to be more realistic in our expectations. He’s a 79 year old man and this is quite normal, sorry to say. Nothing life threatening (although I wish it were). he was out of sight undergoing medical stuff. No way do you want that man making decisions. Someone else is doing the president stuff under his name.

This has been going on for a while.
From July 24 on Bluesky (with some responses): When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts. I've been hiking and camping a lot off grid this year and every time just before I reconnect to signal I have this buzzing moment of "what if it happened while I was offline" When I go to the water park I leave my phone in a locker (I don't trust the waterproof case lol) and every time, at the end of the day when I go get my things, I'm like "What if today was the day?" the farmers market POPPED the day that his ear got winged. instant vibe shift while looking at onions. laughter and lots if movement. it is going to be nuts Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 02, 2025 01:59 PM (xTIDn) 85

I think even the GOP has stopped believing that.
The hostile takeover of the GOP is done. It would take an active fight on the GOPe's side to win back the levers of internal power. And, just think, without Trump, the people who lost the 2016 election with Jeb Bush would still be determining how to run GOP presidential elections. ----------------- I don't know if they believe it, but history is moving quick for these people.

I had a bad experience with my Pharmacist today.
I do an injection of prescribed medicine every two weeks. I get a vial of medicine to draw from and some needles as part of this prescription. In the past, I got a single vial per injection. I recently did a refill and they gave me one vial for four injections. I called the pharmacy and they told me the stopper is anti-microbial and it's fine. They also gave me a song and dance about the insurance company auditing them if they dispense too much for a prescription. I told them the bottle is clearly labeled "Single dose". They told me that's not what it means. I did some research and found CDC info specifically telling medical providers NOT to use single dose vials multiple times and that microbial growth in the medicine from using a single dose vial has caused serious injuries. -CONTINUED- Posted by: bonhomme at September 02, 2025 02:17 PM (lIio7) 176

179 BTW, the other big reveal from ACB's book is her statement that the Court should decide based upon what the people have agreed upon, not what the justices believe the people should agree upon.
So uh, yeah--there's a lot more "super precedents" that underpin the left that are on the chopping block .... A big, huge hint into why she sided with Trump on the birthright citizenship ... and how the Court will rule.

Was that real? I'm not sure, but over the weekend there was a tweet by Trump about someone doing work on the WH and he scratched the walkway with a 3 wheeled cart.
This is important. Trump feels "ownership" in the country. He feels like it is his money wasted by these perverts and grifters. That is what is missing in Europe -- the ruling class "live in another country" and just grift off their native soil. Posted by: bob Yes it was. Truth Social post with pictures of the damage.

MAGA is a return to populism in American politics.
It was sidelined for 100 years by the capture of the working class by the Dems. The Constitution was written for the people, for them to control all of government. Populism is always decried as a dirty word, the sister of fascism, because it dares tear down the power of the elite. Who a wholly dependent upon the coercive force of government to maintain their position at the top. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at September 02, 2025 02:25 PM (MC8h6) 217

If I asked the Horde what MAGA is, I think, as Potter Stewart would say, that we'd know it when we see it.
One of the things Jonah Goldberg said early in Trump 1.0 days was that there was no such thing as Trumpism besides "whatever Trump does." That was probably true -- or at least more true than not -- at the time. But I think now "MAGA" has become shorthand for an actual political philosophy whose central theme is doing what's actually best for us (in terms of trade, national defense, international relations, etc.) instead of just what makes us feel good about ourselves (like throwing $$$ around to various self-proclaimed victim classes) and will outlive DJT personally.

After my mom died, her sister, aunt D, gave me a "dammit doll". Ugly little thing with yarn hair, hideous dress, and drawn on x-es for eyes. The point of the doll was that when I got overwhelmed by the loss I could just bash this doll against a table, wall, chair, whatever to feel better. I never used it. Just put it away and forgot about it. Recently I was cleaning my sewing room and picked up my pin cushion. It fell apart. Dammit. Oh hey! I got an idea!

Posted by: Axeman The case itself was actually moot as you point out as it was raised in the Missouri State court system first up to the Missouri Supreme Court (which flipped its previous ruling--once free always free to slavery forever) Then Taney allowed it to be revived in federal court despite collateral estoppel doctrine to specifically fix the slavery problem forever via precedent. Key to that was denying blacks access to the courts even in free states (the idiotic use of Declaration of Independence and citizenship of the US), state legislatures and courts because of a super right to property by slaveholders, and denying Congress and the president powers to limit where one takes their property which overturned the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850.

You can become a citizen of Burkina Faso by descent from a Burkinabe parent, naturalization (requiring 10+ years of residency), through marriage to a Burkinabe national, or through a special diaspora program for Afro-descendants with certified African ancestry through the ADDI organization. For the diaspora pathway, proof of ancestry through agencies like African Ancestry is often required.

Were I Linehan, I'd file a civil complaint against law enforcement, and initiate a human rights violation against the trans-animal that reported on him. The complaint would play up the "punching in the balls" aspect of the matter since this is what law enforcement used to make the arrest via an "inciting violence" approach. There are people out there who think ball punching is a valid form of foreplay (because of course there are). And, suggesting that it was against the law infringes on the rights of ball punchers everywhere who consider it a valid form of sexual expression....Don't believe me?

It's not possible for a person acting in good faith to doubt trans folks sincerity. Too many people go to their death over it for starters.

My Hate Feed wants me to be upset that a veteran from the Afghan war has been arrested and charged with conspiracy wrt an anti-ICE protest in Seattle.
Lots of stuff about his--irrelevant--past; veteran, top secret clearance, wounded by IED, PTSD;just purchased a house w/ his veteran GF. One blurb on what he actually did: "scuffled" with an officer and locked arms with the rest of the protestors to prevent movement of the ICE vehicle. Of course, they are trying to frame that as solely a First Amendment issue--as Ace noted, the left believes they have a law just for them, that the crimes committed while protesting are protected by the 1st. This is also the tact taken by the San Fran judge that just ruled Trump's use of the National Guard was illegal; falsely claiming--without evidence--that the motivations of Trump were violations of the First Amendment. And the clown judge also lied and said the NG were enforcing laws. A lie b/c the NG never arrested a single person. All of this is going to get smacked down hard by SCOTUS. Merely b/c Soros prosecutors had a policy of never charging the left for crimes while protesting--and claiming it was due to the 1st: That is not the law.

It's funny the idea that people from anywhere in the world from any culture in the world can replace those of a specific culture and place like people are just widgets.
Communism is largely forgotten, relegated to the more intellectual lefty activists while the rest chase after race and gender constructs. But the underlying assumptions are still there. People are interchangeable. An 18 year old Syrian Muslim can easily replace a hypothetical 18 year old kid from Hartfordshire. They're just the same. No, the solution is never, "Find ways to get English women to make more babies," it's always, "Just import third worlders who hate Britain."

Posted by: Archimedes ======== You can consider me one of them. Vance has run one race and was a very short term senator. Now compare Vance with someone like DeSantis who has ran a large state very conservatively for years now plus has a stint in Congress. Vance's profile is more like GHWB's profile than someone like Trump or DeSantis (or even Abbot for that matter). Brief stint in Congress, then VP with a favorable biography. What is needed post Trump is a consolidator and this is where often the disruptor is followed by someone that actually steers the ship of state back onto the rocks either willingly (GHWB) or because they are too weak to steer against the prevailing currents (GWB).

It won't be a good thing, up to and including the complete and total collapse of the welfare system including SS. I'd rather have that than turning my nation into a Caliphate, though.

Posted by: sock_rat_eez ------- The only way that happens if the public decides to go to a dictator openly or covertly--there you are rolling the dice. Best to do incremental change and consolidate victories in the budget, bureaucracy, foreign policy, and getting rid of illegals first. You get dictators or Protectors of the Republic not via the ballot box but via coups or civil wars.

Yes, the United Kingdom does have a constitution, but it is unique compared to many other countries. The UK constitution is uncodified, meaning it is not contained in a single written document.

At the risk of sounding like a hyperbolic broken record, this is why you don't give up your guns.
I've told this story before but I like it so I'll tell it again. I was in a Cabela's holding an M1 that I had decided to buy. There was a gentleman there in a wheelchair who was probably in his early- or mid-90s. He made a wistful comment about "his rifle." I locked the bolt open, handed it to him, and knelt beside his chair. He said that he had carried an M1 in Korea and fought at Chosin. He talked a little more then handed it back to me, leaned forward in his chair and with all the emphasis he could muster -- which wasn't much more than a loud whisper -- said "Never let them take your guns."

Over There you have rights until the government or the parliament says you don't. We still have the quaint notion here that your rights can't be taken away. At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh ======= The Whig era of Rights in Britain was only about one century out of 1000 years of history there with either King or parliament ruling as Supreme. Either one gladly trampled the rights if it benefited them to do so which is why the Magna Carta and rights over there are viewed as historical but not pertinent to the UK today. US colonies was settled mainly by those of the Whig persuasion in natural rights but that era in Britain was over by the time of King George III.

They import millions to grow the industries they are interested in - government workers - teachers - social workers - and Big Tech/ Big Retail (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) They all need lots of people and they don't care who.

There are so many easy reforms we could make to SS and fix it for the next several decades.
It's way easier than importing workers. If SS literally goes to zero before I can claim it, I'll be fine. It's a rounding error on my retirement. But it never will go to zero. What we spent on dumb wars in the Middle East could easily cover projected shortfalls. Posted by: Leupold Social Security is the easy fix simply by raising the retirement age to 65 for early and 70 for full just as they did in the 80s--increase the time needed by one month per year. Last calculations was this would stabilize Social Security until the 2070's or so. But, the largest and fastest increasing drivers of our deficits have switched to Medicare and Medicaid. (Mandatory interest on the debt is also one of the fast growers). Medicare taxes are far too low comparatively with Social Security with total exhaustion of the alleged trust fund in a couple of years (even now the Fed General funds are making up the bulk of the difference). Medicaid is all welfare spending and much of it does little to anything to improve health of those covered. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 01:33 PM (WDjG6) 411

Caliphates are not feudalism, unless you use Marx's definition.
Posted by: Eeyore ======= Marx is actually useful here--there is not much practical difference to the textbook description of aristo-ruler with mutually reinforcing obligations, Egyptian Pharoah God Kings and a pseudo aristocracy of religious leaders, and Muslim Caliphates--you prop up teh Caliph as the titular head of both religion and rule but the functionaries aka courtiers run the place in the Caliph's name.

Posted by: PTSD giver at September 02, 2025 08:25 PM (Tz9YE) The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity… Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. But it has become an incredibly powerful tool for Islam, and its newly ascendant drive to dominate the West and create a worldwide Caliphate. Of course, that desire has never flagged, but the ebb and flow of power and religion and technological and cultural advancement (and its lack in the Arab/Muslim world) has conspired to prevent Islam from acquiring the means to destroy Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism. That has changed: Oil revenue, the revolution in transportation, the internet and its instant worldwide connectivity, and most of all the post-modern decay of the West has allowed militant Islam (is there any other kind?) unprecedented access to the West; both physically through immigration, and virtually, through the internet and the purchase of influence with oceans of oil revenue. And the "Palestine" question is the tip of the spear of Islam. They use the issue to cow weak-willed Western governments into vilifying Israel, which paradoxically is the one Western country that is fighting Islam's expansion! They use their millions of followers in the West as violent signals of what Islam is capable of...mobilizing them for often violent street protests that are designed to frighten the populace and signal to the political classes that they must support Islam, because it is growing, it is violent, and it will vote! Those carefully choreographed mass prayers in Western cities? Why do they pray in the streets when they have perfectly good mosques available? They are flexing! When thousands of Muslims block traffic near the Vatican for their performative street theater of prayer, in spite of Rome having a 12,000 person mosque, it is for one thing...to signal to the world that the West, Christianity, Catholicism, and the Pope are targets. "Palestine" is an excuse. The Arab world finds the so-called Palestinians to be more trouble than they are worth, and much prefer that they remain in Gaza and Judea and Samaria (or immigrate to the West). Just look at Egypt...right next to Gaza, yet their border is tightly controlled and impassable, and they are serious about keeping the Gazans out of Egypt! But as a tool to destroy Israel? Absolutely. And as a tool with which to intimidate Western politicians who are willing to feed that crocodile? Fantastic! Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground. The recent summit of China, India, and Russia is in stark contrast to the West's inability to see Islam as it is, rather than as it wishes to be seen. China controls its Muslim population with an iron fist. India has a simmering conflict with Pakistan and regularly cracks down on its Muslim population, and Russia has no illusions about Islam's goals. Are those three countries going to be the saviors of the world against Islam? [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

China, Russia, and India can not save the West from Islam. Russia and Communist China are in "Imperial Overstretch" and will lose the ability to shape Islam. India has an internal problem and a Islamic country that hates India, with it's own nuclear weapons. Even though Pakistan is a hot mess, they exist.

You know who else understands the felonious scumbaggery of Islam? The Philippines. They have long had problems with insane murderous Muslim groups in the south. The notorious error group Abu Sayyaf is from south Philippines.
Ferdinand Marcos was allowed to stay in power as long as he did in part because he was (rightfully) ruthless against the Muslim terrorists. Sadly, his sons were soyboys who bent the knee. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2025 11:07 AM (iFTx/) 18
I don't much care about Palestine. No one is going to do, or allow to be done, what everyone knows must be done, including Israel, which has a significant self-gassing contingent. It's not that I don't have a preferred side (obviously), but it's hard to care about a problem that no one actually wants to solve.

Man charged with murder in Houston door-knock prank shooting of 11-year-old boy
Cass said the boy who was shot in the back lived about a block from the home. The victim and at least two of his friends had been going around their neighborhood banging on or kicking doors and running away, Cass said. Cass said the preliminary information indicates that the victims and his friends ran down the street after banging on the suspect's door. "Our witness says the suspect came out of the door, ran out into the street and was firing down the road," Cass said. He said the victim was able to run about a block before collapsing in the street.

Muslims do what their demonic prophet demands they do.
Lie, cheat, steal, rape, plunder, torture, murder for the glory of Allah. When they don't have power, they lie and subvert. When they do have power, they torture and oppress. There are some "good" Muslims, but they are the ones who ignore the demands of their demonic religion. "True" Muslims are evil people.

Pick up an early 1960s encyclopedia for the letter "P". There will be no entry for "Palestine" in most of them. In the one or two that did have an entry for "Palestine", it merely says that Palestine is a region--there is no mention of statehood or government and no claims made that the "region" has or was "stolen".

Jews have been living in Israel for as long as we can measure, the Muslims conquered it in the 600s but it was generally not an important of a region for them.
Most of the Muslim population in Israel moved there after the start of Zionism in the 1800s. The European Jews that moved to the region brought scientific knowledge and modern production/farming methods which then created a market for workers, which Egyptians and Jordanians responded to. So, removing the Muslim population from Israel would clearly be "anti-colonialism" but unlike removing whites from South Africa the left has a problem with their ideas being used in this region for some reason...

India is in better shape regarding Muslims simply because Indian fertility is as high as its enemies and China is actually stomping on Uighurs up to and including concentration camps for them. Sinification of Sinkiang has been going on for decades now.
I was curious, so I checked. The fertility rate for Indian muslims is 2.36 (above replacement) while that for Hindus is 1.9 (below replacement). Pakistan is 3.6 as of 2023. https://is.gd/xOjsYm Posted by: Archimedes at September 02, 2025 11:22 AM (Riz8t) 78
By that logic, it's probably best to just do whatever muslims want. Upsetting them should not lead to being killed. But it may lead to be killed. Probably best not to upset them.

Long ago and far away...at the turn of the century-
Forbes had a special edition 1999 on What would be the important issues or discoveries or problems of the 21st Century and had all sorts of Big Brains and Our Betters writing short articles on their mind-thoughts. Most of the articles were the usual pablum and banal observations, but- one guy's article really stood out to me. He argued that the 21st century would see the re-introduction of imperialism by the West specifically to control and possibly eliminate islam, because of all the violence and instability that islam was creating in the world. Then 9/11 happened and I thought...well, here we go. Did that guy ever make to right call! Buuuuuuuuuut, sadly...no. Instead, islam with the help of the WEF, EU et al, decided to let Islam imperialism colonize the West and bring that instability/terrorism/rape world wide.

I have a theory that Muslims hate Jews on a visceral level just for being Jews, but that they hate Christians for their theology. The idea of a humble Jesus being crucified instead of fighting back makes them crazy, and they really hate the sign of the cross.

Massive Discovery Hints at a Lost Global Civilization Wiped Out by a Mysterious Flood
A hidden city buried under Iraq’s desert may hold the key to a forgotten global civilization destroyed by a flood 20,000 years ago. Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed. This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt.

Once the assault aka what created the original fear of death or serious injury ends as in the kids running away, then the threat is over--no lethal force is allowed. For the most part, leaving the house to engage in fighting with the intruder slides over into mutual combat rather than repelling an assault. The caveat is protection of others from assault such as a perp trying to snatch one's child out of the front yard or some such.

We had some drunk Hispanic dude try to kick in our front door early New Year's morning a few years ago. My son and I put our full combined weight against the door while my wife called the cops. They came and hauled the guy away. He was pretty short, and my son and I are both tall, so even had he succeeded in getting into the house the two of us could've easily subdued him.

Gaza post-war plan proposes ‘voluntary' relocation, ‘tokens’ in exchange for land, US media reports
Middle East A post-war plan for Gaza circulating within President Donald Trump's administration envisions a "voluntary relocation" of the population to build a tourist and manufacturing hub that will be overseen by the US for at least 10 years, the Washington Post reported Sunday. The 38-page plan offers Gaza land owners a "digital token" in exchange for property development rights. Issued on: 31/08/2025 By: FRANCE 24 ---- Running head first into a wall. Again.

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in the use of National Guard troops amid Southern California immigration enforcement operations and accompanying protests. Clinton Judge Charles Breyer found President Donald Trump’s administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. The judge in San Francisco did not require the remaining troops to be withdrawn, however. He set his order to go into effect on Friday.

>>The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is one of those stupidly unconstitutional things that has been allowed to fester because it feeds too many scriveners. Well, not looking at the history at, I can imagine that chief executives were getting very creative with the money congress was appropriating. I'm fine with the whole if money isn't explicitly appropriated then the executive gets to decide what to do with it, if it's explicitly appropriated but the administration believes the expenditure is not appropriate and or the purpose can be achieved for less or through different means, then impound and rescind. The problem is congress is corrupt, lazy and dead-locked so nothing can really be done quickly or efficiently. Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 02, 2025 11:41 AM (XFPre) 163
There are very few, if any circumstances where someone should exit the house and shoot at people.
Yeah, chasing an actual home invader down the street and shooting him in the back as he flees (while fine by me honestly) could easily lead to a charge. The law is kind of unrealistic about self defense (if you ask me), but anyone who does this is almost certainly going to experience the joy that is the criminal justice system.

NYPost:
Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has revealed he ditched the Democrats to back President Trump after realizing the US border crisis was spiraling out of control — insisting he could no longer support a party that “lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.” The tech billionaire was a lifelong Dem — until around 2021, when he started shifting toward the Republican Party because of his concern at the lack of immigration enforcement under President Joe Biden. “I remember just being like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy,’” Gebbia told “The Katie Miller Podcast” on Monday.

Tell Fara has been a focus of archaeological interest since the 1930s, excavations have revealed relics such as cuneiform tablets and polychrome ceramics from around 5,000 years ago. But beneath these remains, researchers recently identified a thick layer of yellow clay and sand—an “inundation layer“—suggesting that the site experienced a powerful flood long before the known settlements existed.
This flood layer hints at an earlier civilization buried under layers of sediment. Similar geological signs have also been observed at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even ancient Nile River sites in Egypt. Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 11:32 AM (RHGPo) Just a thought- if a civilization as advanced as ours got wiped out by a catastrophe (say, a flood), what would be left after just 1000 years?

Let’s get their adrenaline level up due to fear for a while. Posted by: Common Tater ======== Warning shots in almost every state actually give those fleeing a possible right to self defense by shooting you. Once the threat is over, you cannot re engage with something like a warning shot as that starts the clock on a new confrontation. In that new confrontation, you are now in the position of the aggressor. Whether or not you feel they need to be punished, nowadays warning shots or even brandishing are NOT the way to do it unless you want to be charged.

Just my luck but on day 3 of doing the same thing at the same time I got the house of a young angry dad who was waiting in between houses. And the race was on! He whiffed on the open tackle and I made a break across the street and through back yards. Little did I know about the terraced yard I was running through and I felt this guys hand on my shirt just as I also felt nothing under my feet.

They key is you have to understand where/when to do it such that the other party isn't going to report it; and if they call your bluff you're going to have to be ready to shoot them - and make up some bullshit about how they started it, presuming you can't just GTFO entirely and wash your hands of it.

Nowadays, assume all your comms are accessible to third parties including what you post here--you share something with a third party--they can obtain it and your id from a simple subpoena. And they can introduce any of these in court because they are exempt from hearsay rules because any statement that the defendant makes is NOT hearsay by definition. Might argue relevance but that is not helpful in something like a justification defense.

Posted by: Oddbob ========== My advice is don't. Georgia had a similar law which was set aside in the Arberry case due to federal and state political pressure. And Arberry even tried to seize the shotgun from one of the people trying to stop him from leaving. Often the bare statutory laws are undercut by a whole series of judicial interpretations where they don't end up meaning what you think they would by reading the statute. If you must do research on the topic, always dig up the pattern jury instructions for self defense (if available--most large states have them). That takes into account judicial precedents in common English language along with the statutory law that applies. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 12:10 PM (WDjG6) 260
Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground.
--- Islam only means "submission". Submission to what? The dictates of Allah. But that all gets filtered through the Imam you are listening to. So pragmatically it means submission to the will of somebody on this earth, for whatever they can stretch the Koran around. Submission for Wahabis is drastically different from more hospitable sects of Islam. (That you can't always trust, anyway). Whereas Christianity is spreading the belief in Jesus of Nazareth as the only Son of the Most High and leaders serving the people they lead. Islam tends to have mostly political and military "outreaches", supporting the idea that Muslims should rule all "infidels". So, it definitely is more of a political strategy.

>>> 224 Massive earth disturbances--such as cutting railroad passes, open pit mines, interstates, etc. Basically you cannot move masses of earth, stones, etc. without leaving an indelible geologic record across the globe.
If there was an earlier civilization than Sumer, Harappa, etc., then it probably was on par with those places, not a massively advanced global one. Posted by: whig at September 02, 2025 11:52 AM (WDjG6) I'll grant you the evidence of the tunnels/mines/road cutting, but that's not really much in the way to indicate how advanced a civilization was, just that it existed. Posted by: Formerly Virginian at September 02, 2025 11:58 AM (N1tpc) Yes and no. With plate tectonics *nothing* is indelible, but obviously, *that* is a long time frame for "everything being wiped from the record". I like to think in terms of a half-life of a civilization - the more advanced, the longer it takes and harsher conditions to wipe out most recognizable traces. And since when do we have *any* places to compare to? Plus, archaeologists seem to be one of the most hidebound groups - if something doesn't match their expectations, it's obviously a mistake, not a problem with their history.

258 Yes, I understand we’re all being monitored and on lists, and they want to kill us and throw us into a camp, take all our stuff, and don’t want to allow anybody the right of self-defense. I get that. The courts are completely corrupted, many of the police departments too. No argument there.
Posted by: Common Tater ======= It is not that so much as IF you use lethal force against someone else, then everything you did or said goes to the totality of circumstances of whether or not you understood the objective (except for a couple of states) standard of fearing serious injury or death from the yute's actions. Police now commonly subpoena social media and seize computers, phones, etc. in the course of investigations of serious crimes and those can be used by a malicious prosecutor to paint your character into a particular bloodthirsty villain. Similarly, putting cute sayings on your pistolas or rifles, putting up signs that jokingly suggest violence for trespass, and so on, are problems. Even handloading your self defense ammo (messing up GSR is a known issue with handloads) can be and has been brought up along with choice of weapons.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at September 02, 2025 12:34 PM (ULPxl) 352
Reading one statutory provision without considering ALL the statutory provisions for a particular crime is not wise. Likewise, caselaw in many states actually undercuts many of those provisions which modern courts have considered dated. There is a lot of old law based on before police and law enforcement was widely available regarding citizen's arrest, apprehension of felons,etc.
A cautionary example is the Ahmaud Arberry case in Georgia where the plain language of the Civil War era statute was ignored by judges and the three guys are spending most of their remaining days on Earth in prison because of it. Georgia consequently changed its law regarding citizen arrests and the state judges capitulated due to public pressure and threat of federal intervention.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket ====== You cannot read and the judges/jury do not read provisions as separate and discrete in most applications. The citation above is a general requirement for using self defense at all. Thus the later numbered provision on property is still restricted by the general statute. There is a reason that lawyers are employed in such matters--you start with the whole statutory provisions on self defense and then look for the specific. If you have read statutory provisions--you will often see them begin with definitions first, then the general provisions, then the specifics. And then you add in the common law interpretations of those statutes in specific cases. So lawyers start with you spilling your guts about all facts prompted occasionally by questions, then they may pull up a reference or two (old style books, new style computer databases), and apply the law as they understand it to the facts in your case.

OneEyedJack,
------ You do know that Dick the Butcher is a villain in that play. "He is portrayed as a murderous thug who joins the rebellion not for ideological reasons but for the joy of anarchy, seeking to kill lawyers and have his way with women." Shakespeare is caricaturing the anarchy caused by Jack Cade and his rebellion. Same as Daniel Shays did in trying to close the courts in Western Mass or the Whiskey Rebellion sought to do.

114 In fairness to the Louvre, I imagine that doing so is a matter of keeping the peace. Now that everyone has a camera with them at all times (smartphones), documenting every tedious detail of their lives like OCD scrapbookers, you'd never be able to negotiate a high-traffic museum without some kind of policy discouraging this in place. It sucks, but I can't figure out why people can't put their phone down for an hour or two and experience something, first-hand, without the "This sandwich simply must be on Facebook!" routine.

JackStraw mentioned the purported ongoing color ops in Europe as suggested by Mike Benz. I have pondered what they’ve been doing in this country.
Because there are a number of assumptions one has to make when looking at the larger picture. People en masse and individually react very predictably wen provoked, when outrageous things are perpetrated against them. (This is why the left so loved to call righteous indignation “reactionary” btw) What I’m getting at, they planned all this outrageous shit going on decades then of course they necessarily had a plan for a bunch of pissed off people. It’s the “dog that didn’t bark”. That’s where my crystal ball gets cloudy. I suppose broadly it revolves around excluding anyone not of the Uni-party from being admitted to the Club. No Grass roots allowed, anything like that must be co-opted and hijacked “and for other purposes”. See also: hippies, occupy, “black” lives matter, etc. But the end result is clear. A lop-sided total control of everything by leftist wackjobs. Normal folks, millions of them, no representation and don’t get anything. That did not happen by accident, that was engineered for decades. No way around it Posted by: Common Tater at September 02, 2025 09:55 AM (tE2Wy) 141

For some reason the word "camel" makes me think of Kraft caramels. The light-colored ones, not the dark ones.
All seriousness aside, this is a grim painting for sure. I'd guess this is supposed to be just at sunrise; the sunset would be much more blazing and orange (I guess, never having seen a Saharan sunset). We're looking east, then. Just the painter's choice of viewpoint. Nobody would try to drive east to west across the Sahara; I think it's as wide as the whole North American continent. The slave trade routes went from south to north, and even that was one hell of a trek. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 09:55 AM (omVj0) 144

In essence, the Resistance is trying to use judges to delay until a midterm delivers them from Trump is my guess.

MEDIAite: Trump Considers Reopening 'Insane Asylums' in Crusade Against Crime. Trump made the suggestion in a Daily Caller interview with reporter Reagan Reese that dropped Monday.
Does anyone seriously use the term insane asylums? The reporter used it and of course if she's with the daily caller then that figures. With the advent of psych meds there is no longer a need for long term hospitalizations. Of course RFK jr wants to change all that. Reagan closed a lot of these facilities which did lead to highly mentally unstable people living in homelessness. Something like this probably is not all terrible, but I sure as fuck don’t trust this regime with it. No doubt, they will start with the chronic homeless, followed by trans, then liberal activists, etc. I've noticed Trump following up on a lot of his delusions. He just wants things back the way they used to be and doesn't ever consider new information or why things have changed Trump is like Reagan, constantly revisiting a halycon past that doesn't exist anymore.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib at the People’s Conference for Palestine At one of the most radical conferences in America, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took the stage and lashed out at critics. “Every genocide enabler, look at this room motherfuckers — we ain’t going anywhere.” She then celebrated the expansion of the cause: “They are just growing and growing. We are bringing siblings from other movements with us.” That a sitting U.S. lawmaker is not just attending but cheering on a conference platforming terrorists, extremists, and open calls for revolt shows how deeply mainstream politics has been pulled into this radical space. - We're here.

Leftist politics are almost 100% driven by the desire to get revenge on one's father.
Posted by: XTC I am sure that is true of AWFLs and possibly true of those of soy. But, as we need to remember, about half of the left's coalition are gimmedats--they don't give a flip about ideology--they want to get paid. That part of the coalition is both lazy and too busy destroying themselves via drugs, crime, etc. to care what others do. Hard core leftists are roughly about 20-25 percent of the population and centered around gubmint, ngo, etc. employment. Quite a bit of infiltration into the corporate world in non productive roles, particularly the tech industry. The tech industry, for whatever reason, is one of the power centers of the troon phenomenon and that is partially why sci fi is unreadable nowadays.

Le Sahara, Gustave Guillaumet
www musee-orsay fr/ Gustave Guillaumet (1840 - 1887) In part, "An eye-catcher at the Salon of 1868, this work by Guillaumet makes a break with Orientalist paintings of the time. Whereas many of his contemporaries gave a deliberately idealised or anecdotal picture of North Africa, here we have a poignant vision, which focuses on the essential. "Never has the infinite nature of the desert been painted in a simpler, more grandiose and more moving way," was Théophile Gautier's comment. The harshness of the landscape, the feeling of solitude and desolation are heightened by the division of the painting into wide horizontal bands, the implacable monotony broken only by the presence of men and animals in the distance. From the skeleton in the foreground, frozen in cool tones, we slide imperceptibly towards the glow surrounding the improbable caravan looming on the horizon. With a remarkable economy of means, a subtle graduation of planes which mingles the dusty stretch of the vast plain with the hazy sky, Guillaumet manages to capture the quintessence of the desert." -- Where Hillary would like to house our butts. 😉 -- Wouldn't hang but it's fascinating.

I think they'd say only Democrats support people with mental illness, so that's where they go. Being mentally ill in an echo chamber of miserable people doesn't MAKE you mentally ill and unhappy...it's the only place where they are around other people with similar problems who want to help them.

362 I've never been in the military, but even I know that you give troops stuff to do even when there's nothing to do in order to maintain discipline.
True, and soldiers are used to it, but they don't want to be activated and pulled up from their normal civilian lives to do yard work. Occasionally to stay busy, sure, but if it's a regular occurrence, it indicates they have too many troops for the mission OR aren't being used appropriately.

Alternate Title: Burning Man.
Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain at September 02, 2025 11:46 AM (Nlama) The Morning Report — 9/2/25![]() Right-wing parties are simultaneously leading polls across Europe’s biggest economies in a first for the continent’s nationalist and populist movements. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known together as Europe’s “Big Three,” right-wing parties have surged in popularity on angst over lax immigration policies and high inflation, according to The Wall Street Journal. . . In France, citizens have reacted against the country’s growing Muslim population which many see as a threat to French values. The slogan “Let’s block everything” has grown popular on social media in France in reaction to unsustainable spending, in part on immigration that has little direct benefit for French citizens, that has led to austerity measures. In Germany and the United Kingdom, both countries have experienced record waves of immigration in recent years. Germany’s foreign-born population has surged from 15% of its total population in 2017 to 22% last year. The United Kingdom has seen raw immigration numbers comparable to the surge that swamped the United States immigration system under Biden within the same time frame. Unlike the United States, however, the United Kingdom’s population is about a fifth the size of the United States’.In England though (as well as France), the mass wave of migration legal and otherwise is not a recent phenomenon. This has been going on at least since the end of the Second World War as former African and Middle Eastern and South Asian colonies gained independence and millions of residents migrated to the home countries of their former colonial overlords. It took a few generations, but the perfect storm of Leftist/Socialist/Woke ideological self-hatred and Islam's millennium-and-a-half quest for global domination is wreaking havoc in the West. At long last, there appears to be a backlash, which the elites in the EU and elsewhere cannot abide and are lashing out in response: A top Labour parliamentarian has accused those involved in the anti-mass migration campaign to raise the England flag in England of being “extremists”. Member of Parliament for Norwich South Clive Lewis has claimed that the so-called “far-right” are behind the patriotic “raise the colours” campaign of hanging England’s St George’s cross flag and the Union Jack in his constituency after flags were raised outside of a migrant hotel in Bowthorpe last week. Speaking to the local Eastern Daily Press, the Caribbean-heritage MP said that while “some” may be flying the flag out of national pride, he claimed that “far‑right groups are using these flags to mark territory and intimidate the vast majority who reject their extreme views.” If the Union Jack and George's Cross are signs symbols of hatred, what does this Clive Lewis cancer think of Muslim Rape gangs that have been rampaging all across Blightly for years? Maybe he'd be happy if Britons waving the flag put the flags down and instead carried meat cleavers into Muslim neighborhoods and give the Muslims a taste of their own culture by re-enacting what two of them did to an off duty British Fusilier named Lee Rigby back in 2013 Meh, the European politicians better pray that their constituents don't march on their houses of parliament and do unto them what was done to Lee Rigby. Perhaps that brave Scottish girl might be an incarnation of Boudicca herself. Over on this side of the Pond, it's a toss-up as to what's the greater threat, open borders and mass legal immigration of Muslims and other cultures antithetical to American/western values who refuse to assimilate and indeed are intentionally or otherwise threatening to swamp/subsume our culture, OR our own indigenous Leftists whose 200-plus year drive for absolute power has resulted in all of the suffering, bloodshed, dislocation and wastage of money, life and human potential. And open borders is not necessarily a stand-alone issue but one of their biggest weapons to achieve their aims in our destruction and/or enslavement. “It is clear that the teachers unions’ priorities are advancing far-left politics and radical social justice issues, not the education of children,” Defending Ed researcher Rhyen Staley told the outlet. “This is a slap in the face to families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve their reading and math skills. It is time that Congress acts to stop this obscene redistribution of public monies to advance left-wing identity politics.”And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar.

---- Stick a fork in 'em. They're done. Once a Muslim immigrant population reaches critical mass, there's no going back.

Some hysterical lunatic (a music journalist, just so's you know) said that dropping the bombs was "genocide" and his ignorant, America-hating, Eurotrash readers commented their agreement. I've been banned there (for calling the BBC a state-run pedo-protecting racket) but were I to descend to drop a word, it would have said: A) The Potsdam Declaration (Paragraph 10) clearly said, "We do not intend that the Japanese shall be enslaved as a race or destroyed as a nation, but stern justice shall be meted out to all war criminals, including those who have visited cruelties upon our prisoners. The Japanese Government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech, of religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights shall be established." Does that sound genocidal? B) What happened when the Japanese surrendered? Did we continue to bomb them? No. Did we have mass shootings when we occupied the country? No. Did we put the Emperor on trial? No. Did we take hostages? No. Did we force the Japanese out of the country? No. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 02, 2025 07:43 AM (kkTda) 24

Everyone in the cast has their own opinion, which is different from her opinion, which makes it impossible.
If everyone in the cast differs with Rowling then they don't have "their own opinion". They have, or profess to have, the mandated leftwing position.

A more plausible plan, as outlined in a seven part series at the website Gates of Vienna, would be to use hunting rifles to singly hit lone invaders in rural areas. Shoot and scoot.

Takes political will. For example, task the Royal Navy to stop invasions from France. This isolates the invaders in country, and precludes reinforcements. Then defeat in detail the remaining enclaves, with supply lines cut. Move invaders to Cyprus or someplace else, for further transfer. Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 02, 2025 08:26 AM (u82oZ) 94

>>Until a major country in Europe gets its own version of a Trump, this won't stop.
It will be difficult because of all the election rigging, censorship and fascist tactics from the left but we accomplished it here. Trump was the result of Americans having enough of leftwing criminality and lunacy. He didn't create the feeling, he simply harnessed it. Mike Benz claims that the CIA along with a host of NGOs, the Atlantic Council and other bad actors has been running a form of a color revolution in Europe for years targeting "far right nationalist" candidates. He has a pretty good track record when it comes to these things and it does help explain some of what has been happening over there. Posted by: JackStraw at September 02, 2025 08:28 AM (viF8m) 98

Sometimes I think back to 2015 and 2016, when the corporate globalist shills of ConInc were grasping at one thin reed after another... first Jeb!, then Cruz, and finally just pulling for Hillary Clinton at the end.
But there was a brief, hilarious moment that lasted a couple of months, in the true depths of their despair, where the sad, flaccid cucks of HotAir had found their white knight on his rampant steed. This statesman would stand athwart the Orangeman and end his ambitions once and for all! And that man was... David Freakin' French. Every time I think of this, I can't help but laugh at it.

Off topic from yesterday's H-1B Job Replacement Scheme thread - someone commented "All the crazy building the nearest hat's going on of condos and townhouses. What do you think that's for?"
I been talking about this, here and other blogs, for the last couple years. Hundreds of units being built in Fredericksburg, TX, for what? For who? Who's is going to rent these places? There are no jobs in Fredericksburg, and the nearest large (20k+) town, Kerrville, is 30 min away. There is no industry in FBurg, no real employment opportunities, so again, who do they expect to rent and live in these brand new units? Odder still are the many multiple units being built in Johnson City (about 30 mi east of Fburg) very small town and nearby mostly vineyards, orchards, farms n such, and I'm pretty sure all these jobs are taken. Again, who do they expect to rent and live there?!?!? Blows my mind, and every time I bring it up, folks just shrug... Posted by: 3X12ax7 at September 02, 2025 08:30 AM (IkhKe) 102

Tony Blair was similar to Bill Clinton as they both led the workingman's party but pushed policies to their detriment. Tony and Bill were both born outsiders, but burrowed their way into the establishment.
"The period from 1997 to 2010 under Tony Blair marked an ambitious era in the Labour Party’s approach to immigration. Blair’s government introduced changes aimed at capitalising on the benefits of globalisation and enhancing the UK’s economic prospects. The policies were seen as pivotal in redefining the nation’s demographic and economic landscape, facilitating a considerable increase in migration." They sold these policies with the idea that the migrants would all be job-creating entrepreneurs with PhDs. If you didn't agree you were called a racist.

One has to acknowledge that the societal ills in Europe, the UK and here are pretty much self inflicted.
The hordes didn't start rampaging, demanding free shit, sharia law or whatever until they were permitted into the country(s) and then elevated in status. Other than money, I've no idea what motivated people, politicians to do this. Guilt? I think the "balance" has shifted and it would be wise to take advantage of it and, if possible, put an end to the policies (and politicians) that brought it on.

The idea of Britain and Great Britain (which adds Ireland), as opposed to England, goes back to when Scotland was annexed in the early 1700s. It's an after-the-fact construct to wipe away national identities.
Britain continues to have a rigid old-school class structure that was washed away in its Continental neighbors by war and revolution. The English Uppers lord it over the descendants of the Originals who were first men Celts and Anglo-Saxons. For centuries the Uppers have used the Crown as stagecraft to justify their rule. I learned this from Robin Hood. Britain owes its charm and creativity to the legacy of the Originals. Without them, I look at Great Britain as being like Germany: arrogant and humorless. Not content with what they had, the Uppers have let in a foreign invader. How do you think that will play out? If this reminds you of Game of Thrones, where do think George R.R. Martin got his inspiration. Posted by: Ignoramus at September 02, 2025 08:35 AM (dtajH) 110

Every single EU government will find a way to outlaw and arrest politicians/political parties who are President Trump adjacent. They'll all claim to be doing so in the name of preventing the rise of another Hitler, while ignoring the fact Hitler, after he gained power, outlawed opposition parties. Not that anyone, once Hitler gained power, dared oppose him, as opposition tended to lethal.

USA Today: President Trump demands drugmakers 'justify their success' with COVID vaccines..."Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree!" Trump said of COVID drugs..."with CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW."
Fully vaccinated, haven't had Covid, haven't died. Before the vaccinations, I know of 21 people who died of Covid. After the vaccinations, no one I know or know of died of Covid. There were people I know or know of, who got Covid in spite of being vaccinated, but weren't hospitalized and didn't die. "Science is TOO WOKE." The Lunatics are now indeed in charge of the asylum. Unlike pretending Covid isn't a deadly disease or doesn't exist, thinking that drinking bleach or shoving a flashlight up your can, vaccines work. Science works. The flabby freak knows the efficacy of the vaccines: he received one after he recovered from the plague. Even Trump admits he's seen "extraordinary" information from Pfizer, so why not just release what he knows and quell the madness?

On August 5, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston decreed a $25,000 fine for anyone walking in the woods or otherwise violating a new prohibition that covered both government and private lands. The prohibition will continue until October. Houston declared, “Most wildfires are caused by human activity, so to reduce the risk, we’re keeping people out of the woods until conditions improve. I’m asking everyone to do the right thing—don’t light that campfire, stay out of the woods and protect our people and communities.” Canadian politicians are exploiting wildfires the same way that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exploited COVID to lockdown the entire nation.

Menton begins with some background on the New York State court system [Emphasis added]:
Unlike federal judges, New York State judges do not have life tenure. Justices of the Appellate Division have been elected to the Supreme Court for terms lasting fourteen years, and then at some point during those fourteen years they have been appointed by the Governor to the appellate court for a term that expires when their elected term is up. To continue to serve on the Appellate Division at that point, a judge needs to get re-nominated by his county party organization, run in a partisan election, win, and then get re-named by the Governor to the Appellate Division. Thus, judges whose term may be up soon, and who are not ready to retire and who like to keep their job, are very much subject to political influence in their decisions. Political influence is not relevant to very many of their decisions, but it is highly relevant in this case. Moulton’s term ends in 2027 and Renwick’s in 2029. Higgitt and Rosado, the two judges who pushed for a new trial, face expiration of their terms in 2026 and 2028. Menton pointedly invites readers to “form [their] own judgment.” Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 09:14 AM (RHGPo) 208

The Lending Scheme That Gave Rise To Colony Ridge Is Happening All Across America
This is a massive problem that needs to be addressed asap. Should be easy to do a search for everyone in the USA using an ITIN and then using that list to deport all the illegal aliens. While it may take congressional action to truly confront the industry, increased enforcement could prompt ITIN lenders to reassess the risk profile of their financial strategies. The Department of Homeland Security and the IRS signed an agreement allowing the federal law enforcement agency to receive information on taxpayers who are believed to be illegal aliens. If illegal aliens know that filing for an ITIN might get their name and identifying information lodged in an ICE database, they may be much less eager to hand over their information to the federal government.

Trump Demands Answers from Drug Companies on Effectiveness of COVID Treatments
These real vaccine deniers ignored the increase in heart and cancer rates as well as the studies showing people who got the vax likely to have subsequently contracted COVID at a higher rate than the non-vaxxed. Posted by: polynikes at September 02, 2025 09:11 AM Yep. I hope all this data is exposed and President Trump and those in his administration get this information out to the public and highlight it so everyone know the facts. Most of us who read/comment here have known about this for years, but much of the general public is still ignorant. In addition, the FDA needs to change the definition of vaccination back to what it was before Sept 2021, when it was changed specifically for the COVID shot. It was changed from "produces immunity" to "produces protection", since none of the COVID shots produce immunity from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.

China's Xi hosts Putin, North Korea's Kim in challenge to West
CRINK refers to the grouping of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and the growing anti-Western collaboration between the nations, beginning in the early 2020s. It has also been called the "The Axis of Upheaval", "axis of autocracies", "quartet of chaos", or the "deadly quartet". The loose alliance generally represented itself in diplomatic addresses and public statements as an "anti-hegemony" and "anti-imperialist" coalition with intentions to challenge what it deemed to be a Western-dominated global order to reshape international relations into a multipolar order according to their shared interests. While not a formal bloc, these nations have increasingly coordinated their economic, military, and diplomatic efforts, making strong efforts to aid each other to undermine Western influence.

Once a Muslim immigrant population reaches critical mass, there's no going back. They are outbreeding the natives like crazy and they have the backing of their government overlords. Eventually, they will become the overlords once they are "elected" to power. At that point, Germany as we've known it will be gone.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 02, 2025 07:39 AM Yep, England/UK has already experienced this. They have been conquered for years now, and many are only now beginning to realize it. Muslims have taken over leadership positions of almost every large city in the UK. This will not be overcome simply by putting up flags. Short of winning a civil war and deporting every last Muslim from the UK, they are on the road to being permanently conquered and turned into a Muslim nation.

Michigan’s SOS Jocelyn Benson Gives Green Light To ONLINE VOTING With NO Legislative Approval
Posted by: SMOD at September 02, 2025 10:04 AM Looked this up on Grok: The claim that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson approved online voting without legislative approval stems from a controversial announcement on August 22, 2024, regarding voting procedures for Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) voters. According to a report by The Gateway Pundit, Benson issued a memo allowing both military and non-military overseas voters to vote online, which critics argue lacks legislative authorization and could compromise election integrity. The report cites the Michigan Elections Manual (July 2024), which states UOCAVA ballots must be returned by mail, suggesting Benson’s directive contradicts existing law. A lawsuit filed by the Michigan GOP and RNC on October 9, 2024, challenges this, asserting that only Michigan residents should vote and that Benson’s unilateral action violates the state constitution.

A good portion of it is from sale of ALCOHOL. That's right, direct income from the winery.
Posted by: runner at September 02, 2025 09:15 AM Grok: https://bit.ly/4p2MRGf Representative Ilhan Omar's reported net worth of up to $30 million, as disclosed in her 2024 financial filing, stems primarily from the dramatic increase in the value of her husband Tim Mynett’s business ventures. Here’s a breakdown of the key factors based on available information: Tim Mynett’s Businesses: The surge in Omar’s net worth is largely attributed to two companies owned by Mynett: eStCru LLC, a California-based winery, was valued at $15,001 to $50,000 in 2023 but jumped to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024. Omar reported earning $5,001 to $15,000 in direct income from this partnership. Rose Lake Capital LLC, a Washington, DC-based venture capital firm, saw its assets increase from less than $1,000 in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in 2024. The firm claims to manage $60 billion in assets and specializes in areas like structuring legislation, with a global network across business, politics, and diplomacy.

Good morning, one and all. On the topic of AI answering the phones, I shall direct my ire at CVS. I just needed a refill on my dog's medication. After jumping through all the hoops, the helpful bot says it can't find my order. I dutifully rattle off the number on the bottle. Nope. Can't find it.
Go to the website. It has now decided it doesn't like Brave any more. Fine. I use Microsoft Edge. Oh look! The prescription I was looking for in the first place.

Evening, late toilers. Morning, insomaniacals. I too am awake about an hour before I should be, and this time I *can* blame not getting back to sleep on the cats. Little Dagny was stretched next to me (!), and Stirling came stalking across and pounced on her. They went rolling and scrambling away with me muttering, "Cut it out!" After about ten minutes trying to drift back off, I gave it up as a bad job.
Coffee now, coffee in a few more minutes too. A simple philosophy at this hour . . . but mine own. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 05:19 AM (omVj0) Posted by: OkJohn at September 02, 2025 05:20 AM (NC/it) 44
Holy cow, is that Fourth Circuit decision bad. Cox is entirely right and the decision should be overturned: if the decision is allowed to stand (where an ISP is liable for bad behavior of its customers after simply being told, without proof, "Hey, this customer is doing something illegal"), then ISPs are going to refuse Internet access to anywhere that serves the public. Cafes, hotels, libraries... are suddenly going to have trouble getting anyone to give them Internet access, because everyone will be scared of getting slapped with a lawsuit for what J. Random Library Patron did online.
I'm glad the Supreme Court is taking the case, and I hope they overturn it HARD. Posted by: Robin Munn at September 02, 2025 05:21 AM (XAlNs) 45

I have no recall of any dreams from last night. Probably a mercy all around.
It's 75 F. at 4:20 am, which is amazing considering the 83-85 we saw overnight (!) for the last few months (and that was just the temp, never mind the heat index). I should go walk this morning. I really should. Yesterday I did some research on hotels in Birmingham and Evansville. They look good. What I wonder is, if I wake up at 4 am in a hotel room, how am I gonna occupy myself? I can chat with all of you, and if there is an exercise room I can use the treadmill et al. And if the room has a coffeemaker, microwave, and/or kitchenette, I can make breakfast. I need to be sure my hotels have those things, huh? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 02, 2025 05:27 AM (omVj0) 47

CBD, apropos of the Art Thread, I came across an anecdote concerning Holman Hunt's The Light of the World:

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at September 02, 2025 *** I've never used AI for that on mine, but seeing what other writers have done with something I plan is usually very helpful. No, I'm not talking plagiarism, simply an evaluation of technique. As for research into something I know nothing about: The *usual* advice is to write what you know. Dean Koontz, however, advised, "Write what you know -- or what you are prepared to learn about." Otherwise only cops could write cop stories, only doctors medical stories, and we'd have no tales of interstellar exploration at all. The 'Net makes it much easier to research enough for a short story. And then there are libraries for deeper fact-diving for longer works.

Posted by: From about That Time at September 02, 2025 08:37 AM (n4GiU) Monday Overnight Open Thread - September 1, 2025 [Doof]![]() What Is This Holiday Anyway? History of Labor Day Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day? ![]() Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title. Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a "general holiday for the laboring classes" to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold." But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.Read more at the link No single job suits all of us, but many of the best ones have a few attributes in common: They pay well, challenge us year after year, match our talents and skills, aren't too stressful, offer room to advance throughout our careers, and provide a satisfying work-life balance.

In the 90's the nursing director of the med center asked a few of us RN's with BSN if we were interested in a master's degree. They'd pay and you had to work a certain amt of years.
I had two toddlers and said no, thank you, as it would have meant a two hour commute twice a week and my husband was often out of town. Plus studying while chimps slept. I needed some peace and quiet during those precious hours. I figured I was crazy enough, thanks, juggling what I had and only worked Saturday's. Then weekends. Then part time once they got into elementary school. The others in the group all became ARNP's or directors of floors in two years. No regrets. I mean, who would want to pass up your baby son giving the fish a floride treatment as the aquarium was in their bathroom? Or cutting his hair (blonde curls) off and stuffing them in his shoe?

The worst jobs I ever had in college were these two. I lasted about 2wks in each:
1) Cleaning out test tubes...I guess rat brains. Some sort of neurology lab with white mice and electrodes on their shaved heads. I would be the only human, I think, in the building in late afternoons. I was ripe for a serial killer. And a real one was nearby. 2) Same university: dragging a film projector around to show films in classes. Not bad and I got to watch a film and see boys who never asked me out. Then one stormy day (making that part up), a film started burning in the projector and the film then shot around until I did emergent measures. I unplugged it and wheeled it out of class to the film dept without saying a word to anyone. Like it was a normal day. No one taught me how to splice and I had enough. Finally I was called the next semester to work in the university health clinic. Now we were onto something that might help my degree! Life got a lot better!

Most psychiatrists nowadays do not do counseling and therapy. They only do 15-minute sessions for medication prescriptions after the most basic verbal 'how are you feeling' assessments.
Psychologists now do the bulk of one-hour talk therapy sessions. Because medical insurance wants to cut costs - not pay the freight for hourly sessions with much more expensive MD psychiatrists. Posted by: Gref at September 01, 2025 10:41 PM (aBgBM) 121

Used to work in a boat yard that repaired and built barges. The damaged barges would be brought up and they'd sink in the creek until they were ready to work on them. The barges would be pumped out and brought onto a drydock when they were ready . A hole would be cut in the bottom of the barge to drain the water that remained onto the drydock. Before that we'd have to climb into the holds and use buckets to clear out eels and cat fish , bullheads, because if they were there when the water was drained they'd die and the smell would be so bad you couldn't work.

Bad, nasty, and thankless jobs serve their purpose. After working railroad track demolition for Amtrak a couple summers for college money I was motivated to pursue a career in something that didn't include 4:30 am daily commutes, 120 degree working conditions, tossing 75 lb railroad ties, and creosote burns up and down my arms. On a positive note, the prison work release guys were entertaining as hell. They used to set off fire crackers every time the fat ass Union guys showed up just to watch them dive for cover. Those were the Philly Mob days.

I thought I'd see more of the engineering fields, especially the core, classic fields of chemical and civil, along with electrical and mechanical which were on the list. I graduated with a lowly B.S, in Materials Engineering specializing in Metallic Materials. I was never without a job except for six weeks in 1982, and made what I think was pretty exceptional money.
As a career field, engineering in general doesn't get its due from the media or culture. Working in manufacturing, I at times felt like a Dr making rounds in a hospital as I addressed various issues on the floor. Over the years I saw plenty of a-hole managers - MBAs and HR Karen's were the worst until the DEI crowd showed up. But but but I had the pleasure of seeing some of them go down in flames, including being in the room ( cowering under my desk) when Security came and frog-marched one insidious crazy jerk manager off the premises... All in all it was a good life and I miss it still.

189 My worst job was in college, was being a desk clerk and maid at Motel 6 in the desert between LA and Vegas (Victorville to be precise.)

Photograph: This iconic photograph captures construction workers during the building of the Empire State Building in New York City.
The image, often misidentified as "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," depicts ironworkers guiding a steel beam into place, not eating lunch. The photograph was taken by Lewis Hine in 1931, during the construction of the Empire State Building. It symbolizes the spirit of American industry and the daring of the workers who built the city's towering landmarks. Btw, "OSHA, our savior has arrived!" was what was yelled as a greeting at some scum bag worksites, sometimes by management but sometimes by union reps. Depended who was winning on a particular day.

Some roach peeled the top sticker with the bar code off "my" 129 dollar battery, stuck it on a 169 dollar battery, and placed the bar-coded sticker off the 169 dollar battery on "mine". And waltzed out of the store, having ripped them off for 40 bucks. Lady at Customer Service put me onto the scam.

Truck battery comes from Auto Zone. They are good about customer service and well, they last longer than the warranty.
Interstate batteries are good but don't last that much longer than AutoZone batts. Years ago it was Die Hards but that's long gone. Bat form the lawn tractor is close to 50 from Walmart. The perfect size costs more but a larger, more common one with more CCA is cheaper. I turn it around so the poles are in the right place and squeeze it in.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 02, 2025 01:36 AM (os5gg) I get about 5 years out of harley battery. I keep them on trickle chargers over the winter. The main thing with the harley is to fully charge a new battery before you put it in. The charging system is good, they usually charge at 13.5 volts, but for some reason if the battery isn't fully charged they die fast. They just never charge to where they need to be. If you charge them up first, there's never a problem. People come in with dead new batteries a good amount of time and its always the same. I ask if they charged it first. Oh no, they told at the store it was charged. No, no, they are never charged. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at September 02, 2025 01:42 AM (snZF9) 249

The antelope in the verse is the antelope jackrabbit, the largest rabbit in the Western Hemisphere. There are, in fact, no antelope antelopes in North America, although the pronghorn is sometimes called the American antelope.

During the "interview" I told him my background, which was way more technical than his own, which he was happy about. Then he asked if I would think about cutting my hair because "it might be scary" to some of the customers. I said flat out, its harleys, not a poodle wash, and if your customers are scared by my hair I don't want to work on those undeserving homo's bikes anyway, so count me out.

I was driving thru the northern Nevada desert one night and the jackrabbits were so thick and large I thought we had an alien invasion. I didn't want to hit them in my vehicle because it would have been totalled and I'd be stranded in no-man's land.

In graduate school, I taught two sections of physics for nursing students: there was a lot of emphasis on linear fluid flow, Bernoulli’s principle, conservation of energy applied to fluids, etc. I had one section in the morning and the other in the afternoon. One was a delight to teach; the other was a bear! I found afterwards that a “queen bee” type in one class had poisoned the attitudes of her fellow students (all women) because I had long hair and looked “unprofessional”. This was in the student evaluations at the end of term. Of course I read them after both classes were over. Frankly, at the time, I looked like I could have been in ZZ Top. But I had no problems with that other class. I kept my long hair until I was out of grad school with my doctorate and looking for a job. I cut my hair short, and trimmed my beard and mustache (you can have a beard in academia, nobody cares). I did wind up with an NRL postdoc, but I’m not sure the trim appearance was make or break for it. The NRL postdoc and the work I did for the Navy did lead to a tenure-track job at my university, so I’m not complaining.

Mines pretty frigging long. The chick who cuts it is a riot. She'll look at it and say yeah not dude enough, too neat. I watch her technique. She gets it all even using a series of moves I can't explain, then holds it so the ends are pointing up, then she stabs down at it with her scissors to roughen the cut. I don't even ask, I just pay her. lol

One thing even the Commies recognized, you can’t pay people not to work. They were profoundly stupid in a lot of ways, but not that dumb.
You’d get a letter. “Report to the Glorious Widget Factory #37” and …. it wasn’t optional. Maybe if you had connections you could get a better gig somewhere. They did have a saying “We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us”; and they had chronic shortages of everything. The shit they did have often sucked, etc. Everyone had a side gig.

I have had elk in a herd of over a hundred more than once, circling the house, so close they left their (ahem) traces in the gardens and the terrace. A herd of them is powerful, but one by one they are homely, with patchy hair. They're clumsy. Their racks are very different from this elegant beast.

I was in Romania about 15 years ago, obviously long after the Soviet occupation. One of the things that doesn't get talked about enough is the devastation that communism leaves behind long after it's gone. Many older Romanian citizens had no idea how to go about living in a free state. They had every bit of their lives controlled by government they just had no clue how to go about making a living or just living without being told what to do. And they were still afraid. My customer took me to a cafe that was located on the grounds of one of Ceaușescu old mansions. He spent the first few minutes after we sat down scanning the room. I asked him what he was looking for and he said cameras and microphones. Posted by: JackStraw at September 01, 2025 08:26 PM (viF8m) 108

We had our first trip to Jackson Hole and Tetons when our boys were in HS in FL. I was used to the West and snow, but, I think Montana is the coldest place, and I have been a few times since.But this one was like landing on Mars.
Anyway, the Delta pilot landed the 757 on a snow packed tarmac and we skidded some. It would not have mattered, I don't think, if it went off the runway as the snow was very, very deep that year. A record snow pack. I don't get rattled ever in a plane due to a wild flight in the early 80's after rolling both ways and the body of the plane dropping thouands of feet (before cell phones and attention. We all said a collective woo! as everything fell out of the bins and food went everywhere. One guy injured. The pilot got applause when we landed). Anyway, I said, "Quite a landing!" A pilot across the aisle from me said it was actually a good one! All the roads were packed hard snow. Super cold and I got new boots. I don't think they bother to plow in winters like that except in the spring. Awesome ski trip. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2025 09:50 PM (6PCLE) 264

England and America aren't lost. England might be further along the path to being lost than we are. But enough people can still get through their day without too much bullshit, especially if they aren't terminally online.

It's that tipping point where the corrupt mutants and perverts in power have pissed off enough people that it matters.... America is still pretty far from that. Most of Europe is getting uncomfortably close. This is why revolutions aren't done On The Cheap. It's why Cloward Piven was always a lie. The whole "boil the frog slowly" thing is a myth. Revolutions happen around an artificial crisis point, crafted around a real crisis point, with planning done ahead of time. They have been making their own crisis point for years now, forgetting that the point of ruining a society is to revolt and create a new society, not to rule over absurd ruins.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh For just a couple years around 1960, a company built a fogging unit that could be run off a lawn tractor. I think the name was Blitz Fog.

Fess up: did anyone here read the entire John Galt speech?
Holy crap... after the first 40 or 50 pages (seemingly) I just started flipping multiple pages. "Jayzus!!! He's still yammering!" That was the most far-fetched part of the entire book -- that Galt could break in on all radio broadcasts and people would actually sit there and listen to it. In reality, after 5-10 minutes, they'd switch off and go to the movies or out to dinner or have sex or something.

Feed a wild animal now, and it will feed you with reindeer burgers this winter.
Posted by: t-bird at September 01, 2025 08:31 PM A true story that I have told here before. Mumble years ago when Mrs928 and I were first married, we lived on Lake Murray in SC. There was a guy that fed the wild geese and ducks. He fed them so often that they would come up in his yard for the tossed feed. Over the course of the year he would feed them from closer and closer to his house, eventually even into his garage. One day, after leading the large flock indoors, he shut the door. None of the creatures were ever seen again. The horrors that must have happened in there are the stuff of avian nightmares. Posted by: toby928 at September 01, 2025 10:05 PM (jc0TO) 286

The winter my husband was in hospice, I drove to and from with a shovel in the back seat just in case. Posted by: Wenda at September 01, 2025 10:04 PM (utsBX) Nothing was plowed in Jackson that winter. We got used to it. Now we live in the Intermountain West and I love snow! Our roads are mostly plowed. I no longer ski, nor does my husband, but sons are ski lunatics. Now our grands ski, too. They are on skis age 2yrs with a harness. Had one of my boyfriends put a harness on me in college it would have helped a lot vs bringing me (from the South) up to blue slopes and giving me worthless snow plow lessons. It took a professional as an adult to teach me vs these nuts. I was way too poor in college to pay for lessons or skis. I like cross country better. The peace. The wine, etc. Now resorts are super crowded except on weekends. Where did all these people come from? Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2025 10:19 PM (6PCLE) 291

Pete Bog, if you like seafood and have flexibility on your dining, Mitch’s down at the sport fishing harbor. Worth a wait if there is one, don’t bail out to Pt Loma Seafoods 50 yards away (that’s fine too , but Mitch’s better). Finally getting some summer heat but it’s rarely actually hot down there, have a brew at Eppig just a short walk away, only craft place right on the water.

Just got back from a rare trip to the movie theater. We saw the new Fantastic Four movie. Kiddo wanted to see it, and I acquiesced. I think Critical Drinker's review sums it up best; it's not a great movie, but it's mostly watchable unlike the recent spate of other Marvel movies. I did like the retro vibe with the set design, props, and graphics. They didn't do the "girl boss" thing; Sue Richards is powerful enough to take on Galactus but it's a fight, and she's trying to save her child. Sorta like Ellen Ripley taking on an entire hive of xenomorphs; having a character go full mama-bear is OK.

A former U.S. Postal Inspector, Scott Kelley, 51, of Pembroke, Massachusetts, was arrested and indicted today on a 45-count indictment, charging him with allegedly stealing over $330,000 in cash from packages sent by elderly victims. Kelley is also accused of laundering the stolen money, failing to report it to the IRS, and even stealing from an evidence locker before framing a subordinate.
Kelley, who served as a Team Leader for the Mail Fraud Unit—the very unit responsible for investigating scams targeting senior citizens—allegedly used his position to intercept packages mailed by victims of a Jamaican telemarketing scheme. The scheme, known as Jamaican Operations Linked to Telemarketing (JOLT), involved scammers posing as lottery representatives and persuading elderly individuals to mail cash for bogus "fees" or "taxes" to claim nonexistent prizes.

My brother had a dog named Bella (Shar Pei - Lab mix) awhile back.
One summer evening, the little dog next door was let out in the neighbors yard, and immediately started yapping through the chain link gate between the two yards. Bella couldn't resist. She darted off the back porch and ran wide open on target until THUNK!, she ran right into the metal pole on the fence with her face. Embedded one of her bottom teeth so far into her upper lip they had to take her to the Pet ER to get it out. They had no choice, she couldn't drink or eat with her mouth welded shut. She never did that again.

Goldens are simply the best. Yes, I am biased after 3 of these lovely dogs.
Our Shelby came into our lives when he was 8wks old. From a breeder in FL, who bred champion show dogs. His grandfather was a cover dog for Dog Fancy. Gorgeous cream British Golden. His mane would drag the floor, similar to Murphy's. We'd been looking for dogs to replace our insane Airedale at shelters. Our youngest son did not like any of them. I finally asked what he wanted to ease his agony (he found Max the crazy Airedale after he died suddenly). He wanted a Golden. The breeder had one they were not keeping (altho I think regretted it a year later for his hip check, as he was far more beautiful than his sisters). He had the love of water bred out of him somehow and hated our swimming pool. Would walk back and forth with me when I swam laps. When I'd get out and read on a ledge, he would lick my head and declare he saved me. Sweetest guy on earth. Never hurt anyone or anything in the house. They are so gentle. He had a pool screen squirrel buddy who grieved as much as we did when Shelby died (possibly from a stroke, age 13yrs). He died happy as the vet gave him treats.I smiled through tears.

Was he with his Iranian buddies?

He deserves to be in prison for that. Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 01, 2025 05:05 PM (xTIDn) 7

I golfed with a couple of guys who were pro soccer players. Played for DC United. No, I don't recall their names. Young dudes and friendly.
I've seen Colin Powell close enough to notice he's really tall. I was just a minion so he didn't notice me at all. At a golf tournament a few years ago, I was a couple of feet away from both Jason Day and Jordan Spieth. Both sent golf balls into the woods, right near where I was standing. That's about all I can recall.

#67 makes me think I should again mention that early 90s at Cafe du Monde they sat me right next to a table where James Spader was shooting a scene for the movie Storyville. Just outside the shot. They had to keep re-shooting the scene because Spader takes a bite of a beignet at the beginning, and he kept sneezing from powdered sugar (common occurrence there).
Finally one of the young Vietnamese-American waiters (they all were, at that point) sprayed some water on the beignets, appearance didn't change, but Spader didn't sneeze. They were still doing takes when I left for my flight, dunno if scene made it into the movie. Posted by: rhomboid at September 01, 2025 05:30 PM (U/Byj) 79

Let me disclose my bias. I don't like Snoop Dog. Never have. Because he's a dirt bag. Several days ago, Snoop posted that his grandson didn't care for Disney's Lightyear because of the lezbo relationship. Of course, such anti QWERTY opinion could not go unavenged. So yesterday, it was reported that he had apologized. Disappointing but to be expected. Now his PR guy says reports of the apology are fake. Only thing I know for sure, they're all a bunch of fags.

Baseball legend Ted Williams.
He was at the IHOP in Eugene Or. He came over to my friends and I and said we could now tell our buddies we had met him. To his annoyance my friend and I said "who?" He was really annoyed we didn't know who he was. This was the morning after the Oregon Invite Track meet. I was the top Duck recruit with some notoriety. I introduced myself and asked him if he knew who I was. He didn't. I said "OK then, Let's call it even." Posted by: SoUgly at September 01, 2025 05:39 PM (yf5/z) 88

Once traded 5 joints to David Bowie and his driver for a bottle of wine. He was headed to Albany from NYC and his limo stopped for gas at a gas station my friend was working at in the days before self-serve (1974). He signed the bottle. I was there to use the lift and hang out with my school friend.

Best unexpected celebrity meeting: I was in Innsbruck, Austria back in 1989 traveling with friends from college. I set out on my own to do a little exploring and came across a rather interesting looking pub. I wish I could remember the name of it. The sign had a monkey on it. Anyway, I go inside (it's about 2pm) thinking a nice local beer would hit the spot. At first I thought it was closed. Two people were inside. A guy was at the bar with his back turned. And an old woman seemed to be sleeping one off at a table.
I went to the bar, ordered a drink, and turned to the guy sitting at the bar to give the friendly head nod or whatever. And, there, sitting with a glass of beer was Sir John Gielgud. How did I recognize him, you ask? Well, a number of weeks before this I was sitting in a Shakespeare class at college, and only managed to get through it by listening to Gielgud's Grammy winning "Ages of Man". I figured I owed him for that, and told him the next one is on me, and why. He thought that was hilarious. Academy Award, Grammy, Tony, Emmy. Not many can make that boast. Also, an entertaining storyteller sitting in an empty Innsbruck bar, I can attest. Posted by: Orson at September 01, 2025 05:41 PM (dIske) 92

School and later working in Brooklyn Heights provided lots of opportunity to bump into Lefty celebrities. I held the door for Norman Mailer as I was leaving a deli and he was coming in. SOB never said thank you.
A coworker and I brought our baseball gloves to work once day to throw the ball around in the park in front of the courthouse at lunchtime. He overthrew me and the ball rolled right in front of Ramsey Clark on a park bench eating his lunch. Didn’t realize it was his m until I went over to pick it up.

When I was in my early 20s, I was at a Las Vegas casino where I met a stage hand for that evening's country music concert. He invited my friends and me backstage to meet Buck Owens, Conway Twitty, and George Jones. As we were standing backstage, I saw Conway Twitty approaching and was excited to meet him. Just as he made eye contact with me, he tripped and stumbled over some cables. He caught himself before hitting the ground, but I think he was a little embarrassed and so continued on past me.

I unfortunately saw Dim politicians in DC several times in restaurants. Bleah.
Met Robert Redford when I was still a supermodel. He was at least 3" shorter than me and I pretended I did not know who he was, even with eye contact. I went on to pretend to not know the politicians. I sadly saw Mitt Romney at an airport. He came over to me and asked if we were boarding (my husband was getting pastry and water). Unfortunately, it was post Barky's second term and I sadly spoke to stupid Mitt, still liking him briefly, altho I did ignore him at first, thinking he was yet another irritating person at 7am (I don't like morning flights). I even introduced him to my husband. At first I thought he was flying without security but was able to figure out later than he wasn't. I was in first class sort of behind him. The two guys who came up to him and said,"Thank you for your service" were right behind his sorry arse. I think that was code for, "We are here, dickhead."

Flew with Wayne Newton on a USO flight from Naples to Athens where he was going to perform for the troops over Thanksgiving. Got to meet him on the plane then again Thanksgiving morning where he came over to our table at the hotel and chatted a bit. Aces in my book.

Returning from our Clark AP, RP, AF assignment, we saw Robert Conrad in the air port at LAX. He was surrounded by a bevy of pretty girls. Fast forward 30 years or so and we meet a comedian who worked in LA back in the day. One of her jokes was something like, "I went to LA looking to be a star. One day while I was looking up at Robert Conrad's face as he was f'ing me, I realized all I had achieved was that I was looking up at a star." I'm sure she told it better. I hope.

OK, I just remembered another encounter. I once ran into Hugh O'Brian; it was in the elevator at the American Medical Association's headquarters, where I worked at the time. I stepped onto the elevator, and there he was, and briefly it was just the two of us. I recognized him immediately from the Wyatt Earp TV show, which I loved to watch when I was a kid. The thing is, I'm 6'6", and O'Brian is maybe 5'2" or 5'3" - perfectly proportioned, but short. I never suspected it from the TV show, where he was photographed to make him look like a six footer. Anyway, I look down at him, and he looks up at me, and the expression his face, he's thinking, "Go ahead! Say it! SAY IT!" But I didn't say anything. I just off at the next floor, and he didn't, and that was that.

A story an employee told me. She lives in Taos, NM. Julia Roberts has/had a house there. Apparently, she was a pretentious witch. She goes to the one 'fancy' grocery store there, and at checkout, realizes she forgot her wallet. She tells the cashier, "I'll just take this home and pay the next time I come." The cashier tells her,"No, leave the basket here and go get your wallet." Roberts' rears up and says. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" The cashier responds, "YES, AND NOBODY LIKES YOU!"

I just finished dinner at a good restaurant on the Left Bank, and who was at one of the tables we walked past as we left?
John F*cking Kerry! He's as ugly in real life as he is on television! I worked for a Representative on the Hill in the late 80s. I was in high school, got asked to take a constituent to meet with Senator Al Gore. He was as boring and stupid as you could imagine. I was bringing him an old lady wanting to give them money and he couldn't carry on a cogent conversation. No wonder Hillary cut him out of her massive scam, he couldn't even ask for the money.

Last one, I promise. I was giving a talk at a Peanuts' Collector's Convention in Santa Rosa. (The year Charles Schulz died, so no, it wasn't he I met.) I was sitting at a table with my family, and Judy Sladky, a champion ice dancer and the star of Snoopy on Ice came by. I told her, "I always wanted my picture taken by a celebrity." She smiled and invited me to stand next to her. I handed her my camera and she realized I wanted her to take our picture. Judy Sladky does not have a sense of humor. At least she didn't that day.

I met Bill Clinton in my junior year of high school, while he was still prez; he was giving a speech of some description at the VA in Tucson, and our school's marching band was selected at the last minute to play at the event. The band director literally had less than 2 days to locate and rehearse a copy of "Hail to the Chief" and had to have one faxed in from Hawaii (it was the late 90s). I mostly recall the Secret Service taking forever to go through everyone's instruments to check for contraband (this took about an hour), and the speech being incredibly boring and mostly about finance (several of us passed the time playing "spot the snipers" on and in various buildings and parking garages). He decided to stay behind long enough to gladhand all of us and get a few publicity photos, so somewhere in a scrapbook I've got a photo of the band, and a photo of me shaking his hand. Looking back as a much more politically aware adult, the honor is much more dubious.
