The Morning Report — 3/20/26

Good morning kids. As the brilliant Milton Friedman once observed:

You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .

Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. . . Meanwhile, just 28 percent of households headed by native-born Americans are on welfare, and just 31 percent are on welfare that includes both tax credits.
Countries with the highest welfare-users in the U.S. include Afghanistan, 87 percent, the Dominican Republic, 78 percent, Guatemala, 77 percent, Honduras, 75 percent, and Mexico, 67 percent.

Interesting that Somalia isn't on that list, but then again, that's not even welfare as such, as opposed to outright naked, dictionary definition criminal fraud on the most massive scale ever seen. Of course the nature of government handouts themselves, regardless of who the recipient is is another story entirely and the nature of charity and who foots the bill.

There was a time when being indigent absolutely disqualified you from being granted citizenship. Of course there are several things going on here that collectively have one goal in mind and that is the collapse of American society and its transmogrification into a socialist state based on the inversion/perversion of history and annihilation of our American heritage and indeed Judeo-Christian Western civilization going back millennia.

I give you the Cloward-Piven strategy. . .

. . . an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.

Now you know, as if it was any great mystery, why the Democrats and corporatist RINOs oppose the SAVE Act or any election integrity measures for that matter, as we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post.

Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.

Cesar Chavez’s birthday is a holiday in six states, there are over a dozen streets that carry his name in California alone, and far more schools across the country are named after a child rapist. And now some of those streets may be renamed and Chavez statues may be coming down.

Well, considering Chavez was vocally and virulently anti-illegal immigration, himself often referring to them as "Wetbacks," I'm surprised that the left has yet to airbrush him out of history as a white hispanic a la George Zimmerman. Then again Martin Luther King Jr., who believed in content of character above color of skin has yet to have his statues demolished and MLK Blvds. re-renamed.

On that sour note, we have this tragic milestone marking how low we have sank:

. . . a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters).
A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools.

Here's hoping for saner years to come.

Have a great Weekend!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

42 “Can you hear me?” a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. “We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you.”

“OK,” the [police] commander said in the recording.

“I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side,” the Mossad agent said. “And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader. Do you hear me?”

Oh shit the call came from inside the house

152 Chavez has been on the Left's shit list for longer than you might think.

In Denver, i used to work at a shop across the alley from some Latino "cultural center" type place where they had one of those hideous murals of him filling an entire wall of it.

Denver is the ancestral home of militant Hispanic fascism, and remains a hotbed for it. They removed that mural under pressure from the MEChA goons, because Chavez hated "the wetbacks" they represent.

This would have been maybe '14-'15. The City also started naming libraries and stuff after Mexican terror bomber Corky Gonzales, who is worshipped by MEChA, and which his Crusade For Justice (and Bombings) helped found.

I'm sure the City has been itching to erase Chavez from public landmarks since at least that time. I bet they're already already pulling down his statues and tearing off the signage at Chavez Park.

The Parks and other services budgets were gutted by the current mayor explicitly to pay for services for the illegals and vagrants (BIRM), but I'm sure they find some change in the cushions to get that done, lol.

There's only so much you can deduce from long range observations. Like looking at a blade of grass from orbit to see what's on it. Same goes for listening for some sort of signal, radio or otherwise.

But sooner or later we'll find life elsewhere, it'll find us, or we'll deduce we're it. *shrugs* I'd like to know, but it's not likely to happen in my remaining lifetime.

Top Story

Bluesky, one-time social network and latterly psych ward for those who can't cope with the harsh truths dished out daily by CNN and whatever MSNBC is called today has raised $100 million in a new funding round. (Tech Crunch)

That's million with an M. Almost enough to buy -
Your new car might need 300GB of RAM. (The Register)

Said US memory maker Micron, whose most recent quarterly results showed three times the revenue and nine times the profit of the same period the previous year.

Tech News

Walmart is flooded with previous generation Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics cards. (Tom's Hardware)

At reasonable prices, so as you might expect the flood has been mopped up pretty damn quickly.

If you're in Australia and don't have easy access to Walmart, look around for Radeon 9070 XT cards which for some reason are steeply discounted right now, sometimes selling for less than the slower Radeon 9070.

I expected shortages and price increases, and some Nvidia 5000 series cards have all but disappeared from US store shelves, but overall... Not so much.
A rogue AI caused a security incident at Meta. (The Verge)

Again.
UK censorship agency Ofcom tried to levy fines against 4Chan again. (BBC)

They got a picture of a giant hamster instead.
Kitten TTS is a text-to-speech model. (GitHub)

That's not remarkable, at least not in the 22nd century where we find ourselves when we're not being stupid which is rarely.

Where was I?

Oh, right. What's remarkable is the whole thing fits in 25MB. Megabytes with an M.
Half the size of the front page of the New York Times website. (Daring Fireball)

That page on Daring Fireball uses 0.1% that much bandwidth.
The Verge is having another normal day. (The Verge)

By which I mean they are barking at the moon.
Can I run Crimson Desert? (Notebook Check)

Well, probably. It runs at more than 60 fps at 1080p native using high settings on five year old midrange cards like the 3060 Ti or 6750 XT.

Michael Malice's podcast is titled "Your Welcome".

Every now and then a grammar pedant wanders into the comments and is compelled to correct the title to "You're Welcome" (and aren't I so smart!).

This is all by way of demonstrating that they haven't listened closely to the show. Michael greats the listeners and ends his greeting with "... let that be your welcome." Then, at the close of the show, after his guest answers Michael's question, "What was tour favorite part of today's show?", he responds, "You are welcome!"

We put our dirty clothes in the hampster.

This is a long standing joke round these parts that started when members of a certain generation (whose name contains "nn" and "ll") insisted in online posts -- not necessarily done here at AoSHQ -- that the dirty clothes' holding device was called a "hampster". They were very insistent that the "st" was a necessary portion of the spelling.

This makes a nice soundbite, but is a bit misleading. The computing power was on the ground[.i]. They had two completely identical computer rooms at the mission control building in Houston on two floors (to support simultaneous missions, as well as backup).

As far as onboard computing power, keep in mind they only had one computer. This was one of the first fly-by-wire systems. Modern fly by wire aircraft for example usually have three. So it had to be reliable.

55 There’s an interesting book called “Digital Apollo” that talks about the computing power brought to bear.

For a while they envisioned the astronauts having to make repairs in flight, the idea was they would carry duplicate spares of all the modules, tools, etc. This didn’t last too long, and they had also decided everything needed to be sealed against moisture, so no repairs possible.

They did some interesting things, they were concerned that (there was only one company making the IC they wanted to use, Fairchild) What if they go out of business halfway through the program? They would buy huge runs of a single IC and used the same component for ground support equipment as well.

63 Today I need to settle on my route to Kansas in April and make my reservations. Yesterday, Teej advised a northwesterly route. Perhaps I can drive up to Memphis the first day, cut across Arkansas and run up I-49, then go west on US 54 and stop at Fort Scott, KS, on day two. Then west to US 75, north to Topeka, and over to Salina on I-75 for the third day.

A driving distance/time calculator on the 'Net suggests each leg should take about 6-7 hours, which probably really means 7-8. Day Three may be shorter.

Yes, that’s my point. They crunched the numbers on the ground, and read the data & updates to the crews over the radio. They actually had a fair bit of computing power and speed available (for the time) they could bring to bear.

I'm looking at what uBlock Origin has blocked on YouTube as I pull up a playlist for some morning wake up music, and it's up to 103 requests (the number increases the longer you sit on a page). Ghostery is blocking several hundred API calls & Stats cookies as well.

I assume it's because every thumbnail from every video that YouTube is recommending is attached to some stats request.

94 As Bose notes, “A lot of websites actively interfere the reader from accessing them by pestering them with their ‘apps’ these days. I don’t know where this fascination with getting everyone to download your app comes from.” It comes from people who literally do not understand, and do not enjoy, the web, but yet find themselves running large websites.

I'd think it's obvious.
While some dedicated apps are very useful, the restaurant apps so you can order your food for example, the dedicated news & social media apps are created for one thing; to mine your information continuously, and generally without an ability for the user to block ads or tracking other than changing your settings on the phone manually (which most people don't do).

They make more money through dedicated apps than they do on their websites.

The amateur side’s U.S. Open Cup campaign ended in a crash-out on and off the field Wednesday, culminating in an altercation between players and fans.

169 I thought that this poster -schmuul- had a good response to the story about the owners behaving badly towards Governor Sarah Sanders at the luncheon establishment . From "Legal Insurrection" site:

"This insane. These people have rendered the term “feeling safe” to be meaningless. Apparently feeling safe means you must be surrounded at all time only with people who think juyst like you have all the same pet opinions as you. When a terrorist plows a car into a Jewish precshool we need moe context because he was grieving you see and Jews make him feel “unsafe”. So his violence needs context. Last I checked Sanders has never been violent to anyone. Actual violence is a safety risk not being around people you disagree with politically (who are paying customers at that)! The prejudice and intolerance of this type of treatment where it is dressed up as being bravely virtuous is disgusting. There is nothing virtuous about mistreating customers plain and simple.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - March 19, 2026 [Doof]

From Earth Pictures

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday night ONT. Last full day of winter. I, for one, am ready for Spring! Are you? It's also college basketball tournament time. Has your bracket been busted yet? Wanna talk about those things? Wanna talk about something else? You've come to the right place!

AI is asshoe

Not long ago, we joked about "if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true". Well, how about, "if it's on the internet, it's probably AI"?

Meet Jessica Foster, the Wholesome US Soldier and Donald Trump Fan Who Doesn’t Exist

Jessica Foster joined Instagram in late December of last year, but during that short period of time, she managed to grow her following on the Meta-owned social network to over 1 million. And it’s not hard to see why; she is very beautiful (some might say suspiciously so), she serves in the US Army, and is an avid Donald Trump fan, constantly posting photos alongside the American president.
But there is something off about Jessica. Even ignoring her seemingly perfect looks, you can’t help but raise an eyebrow when you see that online searches yield no results about her. Apart from the carefully crafted Instagram account, Jessica Foster doesn’t exist. And that’s because she’s not a real person, but an AI-made avatar designed for a very specific demographic.
***
Whoever created Jessica Foster appears to have done so to funnel her gullible followers to OF, where they pay for more raunchy content, messages from her, and tips. Apparently, the account violates the platform’s terms of service, which state that every account must be linked to a verified human being, and all AI-generated content must resemble that specific real person and be tagged with a #AI label.

I'm starting to go with the default opinion that every photo or video I see online is AI unless proven otherwise.

News for you Deadheads out there

Jerry Garcia’s Famed ‘Tiger’ Guitar Bought By Chicago Collector For $11.56 Million

One of Grateful Dead legend Jerry Garcia’s favorite instruments was his trusty, custom-built, wood-grained guitar nicknamed “Tiger.”
Now “Tiger” could be coming back to Chicago after local guitar collector Bobby Tseitlin bought it at auction for $11.56 million, which was briefly a record for a guitar sale. (A black Fender Stratocaster used by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour sold at the same Christie’s auction last week for $14.5 million.)
Tseitlin, 44, is co-founder of Family Guitars, a Chicago company that collects historic instruments and is “home to some of the most legendary instruments ever played,” per its website. For the past 20 years, Tseitlin’s passion project has been collecting guitars, he told Rolling Stone.
Tseitlin isn’t about to store his famous guitars where no one can see them, though. He lends them out to musicians to play and keep them alive.
True to form, Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band was on stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York the night after the auction, playing a Garcia tune on Garcia’s beloved guitar. Trucks attended the auction with Tseitlin, launching online hope he would be playing it soon. Fans got their wish.

Last week, Tseitlin purchased it at Christie’s in New York City during a multi-day auction featuring prized possessions of the late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.

Another Dead themed beer from Dogfish Head

The long, strange trip continues with our brand-NEW Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager

Some trips are long, some are strange, and some are so good, you can’t help but keep 'em going! After reuniting with the Grateful Dead last year to release Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, we couldn’t resist keeping the journey rolling. This year, we’re beyond excited to collaborate once again on our fifth Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead beer.
***
Our collaboration with Grateful Dead stretches back more than a decade, beginning in 2013 with the release of American Beauty and continuing through multiple re‑releases, evolutions and creative experiments over the years. Each chapter has built on the last, fueled by mutual respect, shared values and a belief that art, whether brewed, played or painted, should invite people in. Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is the latest stop on that journey.
This goodness is swimming to shelves nationwide in 6‑pack / 12‑oz cans as we speak ... er, type!, and will be available coast-to-coast beginning Mar. 2026. You can grab both of our Grateful Dead collaborative brews, Juicy Pale Ale and Citrus Daydream Lager, at your favorite local retailer or use our Fish Finder to track them down near you.

40 Of The Funniest Wildlife Photos Ever Captured At Exactly The Right Moment

If you’ve ever wondered whether animals have a sense of humor, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards might just have the answer. This photography competition celebrates those perfectly timed moments in the animal kingdom when creatures appear surprisingly human.
Instead of the usual dramatic wildlife shots, the contest focuses on the lighter side of nature — the awkward, unexpected, and downright hilarious moments animals find themselves in. And honestly, some of these photos look like wildlife accidentally walked into a comedy sketch. So scroll on, enjoy the laughs, and get ready to see wildlife from a whole new — and much funnier — perspective.

Check them all out. It's a single page - not a stupid click-through thing.

You know that thing that happens with "the algorithm" - you casually mention something at some point, then your phone starts showing you ads and/or social media posts about it? Well this topic is something that I have been thinking about for a while. Just thinking! I was going to look up the history / background on what warrants something being called a road, or a street, or an avenue, etc. Again - I was only THINKING about it. Well, guess what hit my X feed yesterday...

Jerry and Doug Irwin, the builder of Jerry's most famous guitars, had a long history. The Wolf was the second Irwin Jerry bought but I believe it was the first custom guitar Irwin built for him from the scratch. It's what really defined Jerry's sound and the Tiger just took it to another level.

He got it in '73. An example from that year in honor of the top pic.

Dear wife's B day is coming up and today she received a text from a former student wishing her well. He was one of her Special Ed kids that had suffered a horrible head injury as a very young boy. Made a fantastic recovery and is now an accomplished architect working for a very good firm. He sends her a text or card every year. She is just thrilled.

And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?

I had the same 3rd grade teacher as my dad. She was older than dirt by the time I was in her class and she was awesome.

She carried a yardstick and roamed the room slapping it in her palm while delivering a lesson. And if you got out of line she would give you a gentle tap with it but her look said "Don't test me". If you had a loose tooth she would pull it for you which was just magic.

251 My 7th grade math teacher is who had the biggest impact in my life. Middle School was where I began my American education and before every school year, my parents would inform my math teachers that I struggled with math and why.

My 6th grade teacher didn't care. He was an angry old man in a wheelchair that I think didn't really enjoy teaching.

Mr. Grant, my 7th grade teacher cared. He took extra time during class to help me. He and his wife would also help me during basketball games while I attended as part of the pep club. It's because of him and my parents that I finally got the hang of multiplication and division and found I loved wrking out equations.

254 Re: interoffice mail, back in the '80s, pre-email, I worked for a large company, in some rental office space a couple of miles from the main headquarters. The company had several locations around town, and a van that ran a route between the office locations a couple of times a day, delivering that kind of interoffice mail.

There was a marketing VP who pissed off someone at headquarters and was exiled to a cubical at our location. He had nothing to do with what we did, he was just sent to our office as punishment. He was a couple of decades older than the rest of the crew in our office, and didn't really fit in. Plus he was a real asshole.

Eventually, after a couple of months, he was pardoned and went back to the main office. Shortly after he left, one of the guys I worked with got a hold of a really nasty gay porno mag, "Leather Lads", or something. I don't want to know where he got it. Anyway, he printed out a mailing label with the asshole VP's headquarters office address, stuck the label on the mag and put it in the outgoing interoffice bin. Apparently it went through the corporate mail-room and got delivered to the guy's office and created quite a stir.

291 My favorite guitar in the Jim Irsay auction is Eric Clapton's SG Gibson, which he played on Cream's records and live performances in 67-68 and was painted by Simon & Marijke from the Fool.

Sold for $3 million which is low compared to the sold amounts for Jerry Garcia's and David Gilmour's instruments.

Posted by: Joemarine at March 19, 2026 11:01 PM (y171U)

I played a few well known guitars in my time. The one I always chuckle at is "greenie", a 1959 les paul which was Gary Moore's guitar that came from peter green and kirk hammet owns now. I knew the dude who got it from gary moore, so he let me play it. It was interesting, a little hammered, but very cool. Another friend who is friends with Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs, had acquired his 1960 les paul. I played that through the right amp and played the song bad company and damn near shit my pants. It was the sound, the fucking sound. I played other famous guitars but that one stuck with me the most. I own one guitar that Jake E Lee owned for a little bit, fitting seeing is a metal dude and my favorite replacement for Rhoads after he died. But that Bad Company guitar, damn...

Important step, all right.

Another critical thing about writing software is usability and workflow analysis. Since automating a task with software re-arranges how someone does their work, it matters a lot to learn what the user is trying to do and how best to present information etc. Lower-level parts of software (closer to the machine) are probably good uses of AI, but closer to humans, there is still a lot of important work for a software developer.

ACIP has been disbanded.

The government’s response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be required to file and prosecute an appeal. There will be no action from the government to respond to the defamatory characterization of the former ACIP members.

That Guitar is not only important in the world of Vintage Guitars, but it is a Pop Culture Masterpiece. Lots of room for that one to increase in value for the new owner.

I can't say the same about any of the other of the Top 5 Sales at that Auction.

Film crew staying in decent hotels, three squares a day at local "Cheeseburger in Paradise", bars, discos, local girls and wildlife.

Contestants got nothing. Camp out on the beach next to a road with Mr. Donut and Ace Hardware right across the street and go find something to eat and start a fire. Maybe scrounge up some palm fronds to make a lean-to so when it rains every night you can stay dry.

The contestants "voted off the island" actually had skilz and pissed off the other contestants that had to fuck the producers for a cheeseburger.

The problem with 9mm revolvers is extracting the fired cases, since the 9mm doesn't have a rim for a conventional extractor to engage. There are some revolver designs that use fancy mechanisms to extend a finger to catch the case groove during extraction, Charter Arms currently makes one, but they have never caught on.

Federal Ammunition briefly made a 9mm Rimmed cartridge, until people discovered it would fit into weak, antique top-break revolvers, with possibly catastrophic results.

Well, the manual of arms for a DAO revolver is pretty damned simple; if you can load it, you can shoot it. I suggested 9 mm, because I assume the Basij are armed with 9 mm weapons. If some other cartridge is more prevalent in iran, design your "Iran Liberator" for that.

The usage scenario is the same as for the Liberator. Use the cheap gun to ambush some baddies, and take their weapons. If you use a cartridge that is already prevalent in Iran, it raises the possibility of infighting amongst the bad guys. If you use 45 ACP, it's obviously partisans, and reprisals would occur.

No need for anything new.
Primarily civilian 9mm.
A couple of guys at State or DoD could have hoovered up all the 9mms at Bass pro and Academy and bought a couple hundred thousand guns off our civilian market. All via internet.
Or intercepted wholesale shipments.

Arming the locals is easy peasy.
Might be a HUGE part of asking them to stay put for a bit...

You always need to loosen the strings on a guitar when you fly, because there is a shit ton of tension on the headstock with the guitar strings at full tension. Something like 180 pounds. All you need is one good shot and the neck is going to break. You also need a flight case, not the bullshit case the guitar comes in if your shit is going to be handled by a scumbag like that dude. Also a TSA lock, or else those jerkoffs will just break the case open or cut the lock off if its not TSA.

Others have alluded to it, but "Tora, Tora, Tora" is really good, a joint American-Japanese look at the attack. It was a box office disaster (who wants to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor during Vietnam), but it is a superb film.

I believe that one was from Japanese archives after the war, taken from the wing camera of one of the planes observing the attack. There are some pictures from the US from the ground, but are more accidental, including the home movie of the Arizona being hit and blowing up.

78 There are several photos from the Japanese side that survive.

But you have to be wary also since the Japanese did a propaganda movie that covered the Pearl Harbor attack. They used detailed miniatures that even fooled some American military. The guy who did the miniature effects would later go on to do the same thing for Godzilla movies.

John Ford also did a Pearl Harbor movie, which is why you see popping up footage of three SBD Dauntless dive bombers and next a US battleship blowing up.

If you want some (somewhat ahistorical) Spitfire porn, check out "Piece of Cake" a six-episode series based on a somewhat over the top book about how the RAF adapted to war over the first year.

It uses a fake squadron ("Hornet Squadron") and because flying Hurricanes were extinct, they had to use late-model Spitfires. So right away two problems - wrong Spitfires, and Spitfires were never sent to defend France in 1939-40. Churchill held all of them back.

BUT, it's great drama and a very compelling portrait of a *unit* rather than individuals. Indeed, squadrons during that period took high casualties, so watching the unit change over time is very cool. Great cast (of course).

As already noted elsewhere, for a Japanese head of government to physically embrace a foreign head of state is I think unprecedented. After that, Trump could have said whatever he wanted. She has a crushing majority, so it really doesn't matter, and I bet that with China running 24/7 anti-Japanese propaganda slop, showing that Daddy Trump loves Japan probably is being well received.

There is a very good old archaeology show Time Team where they have a weekend to dig at a site and find out all they can, throwing a lot of resources at it. One show they have is the crash of a Spitfire in France in 1940. It did take off in England. It went in nose first and the whole fuselage is packed into a few foot column of stuff.

They find a bit of the pilot's jacket - the chain to hang it up and present it to the man's brother shortly before his own death. The pilot's body had been recovered and buried in 1940.

Oh right -- they were diverting anti-terrorism assets to try to frame the president of the United States.

James Comey subpoenaed in alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.
Why it matters: The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year, the sources say, and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden.
The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare.
Zoom in: The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023.
The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump.
The assessment referenced the now-widely discredited Steele Dossier, whose inclusion "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment," according to a "Tradecraft Review" completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA director John Brennan for prosecution.

He did not. That's a fact, bro. You are a liar and a bullsh*tter. And you know it. I offered you that briefing and you didn't take it. You have hidden knowledge about something that happened at Butler? He's got hidden knowledge, folks. Amazing. The president, he was shot in the head. in Butler. He was shot in the head. No one spoke out more about the secret service failures in me. My first week on the job, I had the case agent in my office with an entire team, including a former secret service agent, briefing me about Butler. You know something? Spit it out! Grow a pair! Spit it out! You got some hidden knowledge?
You see the grift though? Well, we don't know nothing. I know something. Black box, I got it. Watch my podcast. The FBI examined 35 accounts linked to Crooks. I thought we didn't analyze anything. I thought they told me that I thought they said that. Including social media, bank and other online accounts. But we don't know nothing. We don't know nothing about nothing. Amazing by the way, how keep this up. The same people out there, clan of people who were telling you out there that Iran's no threat can constantly tell you or imply at least that Iran was behind this kid produced no evidence. They tell you they know something and then they go but Iran's no threat. You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump at with through this kid. Which story is it mother? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don't have any evidence of that.

Here's another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept, every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn't get into certain devices. That's false. That is just made up. Joe would have known that if he would have read the article or just showed up at our office. "
He is just Alexander Vindman 2.0. He is a liar and has zero credibility.
Take everything he said last night and dump it in the garbage.

"I know Iran doesn't want a nuke because it said it doesn't want a nuke"

_-_
In the low-minded, it might be a racial thing, but the actual term they keep using is Zionist. The claim is that the Zionists themselves are Christian, Jewish, and atheist and actually have ill intent for the US, Jews, Christians, AND Israel. They are only using the "Greater Israel" idea to gain control of the Middle East. The overall intent being depopulation and control of the remainder. I think I have the characterization of the idea close to what "they" are saying. In summary, the idea is that it is all about control and de-population, and they don't actually care at all about Jewish people other than "How can we use them?"
That is the substance of what I am hearing. Not my ideas, I really don't think I understand the big picture here, really. About once a decade something happens that upends a lot of how I think the world works

Havocs, Mitchells, and Beaufighters turned eight transports and eight destroyers into wrecks. Rabaul got four of the destroyers back.

Pappy Gun and the NAA rep Fox produced the D-1 modification for the B-25s that saw FOUR .50 cal machine guns mounted in the bombardier glass and a further FOUR .50s mounted on the sides in package guns. The A-20 Havocs got a similar modification.

This air attack saw the use of skip bombing to bounce the bombs into the targets. This was the last large-scale attempt by the Japanese to resupply their forces in New Guines.

What are examples of U.S. media bias in war reporting?

U.S. media bias in war reporting often includes framing conflicts in a way that prioritizes certain perspectives, such as depicting Israeli actions as self-defense while downplaying Palestinian suffering. Additionally, coverage may reflect a double standard, with more attention given to wars in Europe compared to those in poorer regions, leading to a perception that violence is more acceptable elsewhere.

227 . Later versions carried even heavier firepower, some mounting up to eighteen .50 caliber guns. Mechanics in field workshops modified standard bombers in just days, installing forward-firing guns and refining skip bombing techniques to hit ships exactly at the waterline.

Much of this innovation came not from designers in factories, but from crews and engineers improvising in remote bases.

Paul “Pappy” Gunn, a former airline mechanic turned combat engineer, became a driving force behind these modifications, turning the bomber into a true gunship.

270 They, like the Koreans and everyone else near China, hate China. They formed a tactical alliance to get the French and later US out (though there was some division on that) and then even International Socialist Brotherhood was not enough to have them at each other's throats.

But they are happy to make profit selling each other stuff. It's okay for trading partners to also kinda hate each other.

272 - Marcus Aurelius did not want to restore the republic. NO ONE wanted to restore the republic. By the time of the Antonines any family who might have even thought about republican sympathies had been purged by someone or other.

- Marcus also chose Commodus. He was exceptionally gifted, both as an administrator, writer and general- but he passed power to his son- even though everyone knew he was a psychopath.

By the time Marcus died at 180 AD, the Republic had been gone for about 225 or more years at a minimum and had been pretty dysfunctional before that. The modern restore the Republic trope in Rome was just a lot of wishcasting. the "Republic" tended to have mystery mobs massacre people they didn't like with mobs.

Trump Makes a Minor Joke About the Element of Surprise in War, and the Very Professional, Educated, and Smart Media Takes It All In Stride With Perfect Calm and Equanimity

Just kidding, they're freaking out.

First, let's establish that Trump has a warm relationship with Japan's MJGA PM:

This is so adorable. I thought the Japanese Prime Minister would bow. Instead she ran for a hug from the president, pic.twitter.com/eB7vEXm3n5
— USMC Lady Vet 🇺🇸 (@Arkypatriot) March 19, 2026

He also effusively praised her during the joint interview.

Then a retarded Japanese gardner wandered into the White House lockers and somehow found a suit that fit him. Posing as a journalist, he asked, "If Japan and the US are friends, why didn't you tell them you were about to launch a surprise strike on the Iranian leadership which was, amazingly, all meeting together at the same place at a location we knew about?"

Well he didn't say the last part. I filled that in for him.

So Trump was a little surprised at this retarded gardner asking stupid retard questions, and answered in a joking way.

This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂

Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran?

Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂 pic.twitter.com/K1C85C4wzJ
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) March 19, 2026

Jake Tapper, who pretends to be a journalist on TV and pretends to be an autist on Twitter, objects that akshually the PM wasn't even born at the time of Pearl Harbor.

Well, Jake, neither was Trump. Because it's a joke.

Trump was also not alive yet on Pearl Harbor Day, Jake. This was a joke about the importance of keeping surprises in war. As everyone with a functional brain recognized. https://t.co/NCwVAadltg
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) March 19, 2026

Jake, on your left-wing Gaytard planet where everyone is infected with Simulated Autism, is there no one who ever... behaves contrary to reality?

For those visual learners trying to remember what "equanimity" meant when you studied it for the SATs:

There was that warning to leadership of "prompt and utter destruction" just days before the bombings. Maybe it was too vague.

Man, I wish we had an edge like that now. Not that I want to kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians, but I'd like that kind of edge. Prompt and utter, from something no one else has and no one's ever seen before.

I did look up details on the Polish Navy but it was unclear about the current state. They once had a few frigates and the rest were very small and probably couldn't get there. There was lots of talk about a huge expansion and modernization but a lot of it seems to be mired in planning and admin right now.

John Solomon: US Intelligence Recorded Foreign Powers Discussing Routing USAID Money to Joe Biden in 2024, But They Hid This From Trump

He also faults Trump for not talking about this.

Now, he doesn't say that foreign power is Ukraine, but in a clip I posted yesterday, he talked about the Ukraine plotting to use US taxpayer money to interfere in the election on behalf of Joe Biden.

I don't know why he's omitting the "Ukraine" part now; maybe his source confirmed it, but only if he agreed to not name Ukraine.

This is why Democrats were so mad about the money from USAID getting shut off

All government spending is a Democrat global money laundering operation.

Especially since at least 1/3 of federal government employees exist solely to administer that part of spending that is due to the fraud and abuse.

That woke him up like Lazarus. I half-jokingly told the vet his will to live is stronger than mine. The vet gave him pain pills for 2 weeks. I'll be carrying him up and down steps and outside for washroom for about 2 weeks while he heals but he's only 40 some pounds.

JFK set it up as a State Department auxiliary in order the channel money fast overseas to fight the Cold War. And the CIA more or less and State Dept. constitute our foreign policy apparatus (which is why Nixon used Kissenger and the NSC to sidestep that establishment for Chicom and Treaty of Paris negotiations).

Prior to that, the CIA has spent a lot of money on the same sort of shit that AID took over. Like shoveling US money to opponents of communism even if they disliked or hated the US. Been reading William Colby's biography and lots of information about their hearts and minds open checkbook spending for 'soft' power. And buying journalism, scholars, etc.

One person responded, but the villains are conservative Christians! And he's not wrong. The movie was written by leftwingers and I think the original author of the comic book is leftwing too.

But...shouldn't this give you even more pause? If "the other side" write a story about how evil your political ideas are, well, that politics.

But if the government that you like in the real world seriously resembles the one you claim to hate in fiction...shouldn't that tell you there is something very very wrong with your political alignment?

I mean, let's say your shadowy praetorian guards did some things.

Like spying on a Presidential candidate using falsified 302s to predicate a bullshit, open ended FISA warrant. Or maybe they framed the President for piss-hooker throw downs and then ran the smear through a bunch of media cutouts to create a pretext for a show trial? Or deployed corrupt military officers to do a similar thing with regard to foreign policy as a pretext for impeachment? Or maybe they exploited a leak from their illegal bioweapons program to cheat against him in the next election? Or performed a false-flag attack on the Capitol so they could prosecute him once out of office? Or used on-side SS details to set him up to be murdered? Or fenced stolen taxpayers funds to his election opponent when none of that worked?

That's all pretty bad. But the lying to him about all that - that's the shocker.

_______________________

John Solomon needs to re-read, "Art of the Deal." Most of the content deals with the importance of leverage. How to acquire it; how to use it; how to generate it etc.

Keep in mind that the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine continue to be on the periphery. He, already, has leverage on the Russians (dealing with the security and energy agreement signed with them before we took their president and nulified that deal). Russia is/was invested heavily in the heavy crude in Venezuela, on long term lease agreements.

Ukraine, on the other hand, now has leverage against them related to these "revelations"...even though we all suspected as much.

It's all about leverage.

Bondi is a politician first, Attorney General second. Accept that and everything she does begins to make a little more sense. A little.

Personally, I think she's timid. Afraid to do "the hard stuff" like threatening judges, juries and all the other stuff Garland did. Not saying it's right.... or wrong, but it is "the new normal."

Start by threatening some judges with violence. Then, do the violence if they persist. Otherwise, "nothing will happen." And when the left regains the levers of power they'll go ape shit on us.

Garland would never be punished for threatening juries. He'd never be "called out" for threatening judges. And bitching at the judges was just to give them cover to do what they wanted to do but knew they shouldn't.

217 Two of the things I've tried to point out to people (smarter people than Reich, BTW) over the years...

1.) Since the Reformation, wars are only very rarely directly profitable for nations; only lenders and manufacturers, because a shit ton of money is going into that bloodsoaked toilet. They're fought for longer term and different goals than a quarterly report.

2.) Entitlements dwarf our military expenditures - another serious problem for large, wealthy militant empires throughout history.

IOW, these things are expensive, and we need money to do them, but they could produce some gain. Your welfare thing never will, and if we make this budgeting contingent on wasting ten times more money on bullshit than we need for a military goal, maybe your thing should go.

227 Earth to the man-girls of AoS: First, the poll is garbage second, even if its correct, who the fuck cares? The base that elected Trump has imploded, dooming Republicans to a midterm massacre.

- MAHA supporters: Health-freedom and anti-establishment advocates who rallied around Make America Healthy Again are abandoning Trump, viewing the neoconservative pivot and war focus as a complete betrayal.
- Youth voters: Young men who swung to Trump in 2024 are bailing fast, with support dipping below 50% as they prioritize deportations and economic relief over endless foreign entanglements.
- Centrists and independents: Moderate swing voters are fleeing the GOP, sickened by the neocons' return and the war's fallout. Only one in four Americans back Trump's war.

You won! Your neocon masters managed to exploit Trump's major weakness: his ego. The resulting chaos and civil strife that their victory will yield after the Repubs are tossed from office is on YOUR heads.

Heh, old usage, I thought I remember it in Pogo comic strip but far older than that.

"Bunkum is a word meaning insincere, foolish, or empty talk; nonsense. It originated in the early 19th century from a speech given by Felix Walker, a U.S. congressman from Buncombe County, North Carolina, in 1820. During a debate on the Missouri Compromise, Walker delivered a long, irrelevant speech and defended it by saying he was speaking "to Buncombe"—referring to his constituents—rather than to Congress. His colleagues mocked the speech, and the phrase "speaking to Buncombe" quickly became a term for meaningless political rhetoric. "

None of those sorry cucks would have so much as a committee assignment without Trump.

They'd fuck off the midterms with or without him. They're professional losers of the first water, and if he's not on the ticket, dragging them across the finish line, they'll wander off the track and start grazing in neighborhood gardens during the first lap - every single time.

Blaming Trump or his voters for their decades-long litany of gay failure is an approach - but it won't fix the failure of your Party. You might could go holler at them.

The New Darling of the Grifter Left and Grifter Right, Joe Kent, Seems to Have Flounced From His Job Because He Knew He Was Under Investigation for Illegal Leaking

Gee, I wonder which podcasters he may have been leaking to.

Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is now at the center of a reported federal investigation, with multiple sources indicating the FBI is probing whether he leaked classified information--an inquiry that, notably, appears to have been underway before his abrupt resignation earlier this week.
According to Semafor's Shelby Talcott, who cited four sources familiar with the matter, the investigation predates Kent's departure from his post and focuses on whether sensitive intelligence was disclosed to individuals not authorized to receive it. Talcott initially reported that three sources confirmed the probe, later adding a fourth.

...
Kent announced his resignation publicly on X, framing his exit as a break over foreign policy. In a lengthy post, he argued he could no longer support what he described as an unnecessary conflict with Iran. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
...
President Trump weighed in as well, offering a blunt assessment of Kent's departure and his stance on Iran. "I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security," Trump said. "But when I read his statement I realized, it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat, every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question was whether or not they wanted to do something."
The timeline now raises obvious questions. Kent's resignation was publicly tied to his disagreement over Iran policy--but the existence of a preexisting FBI investigation suggests there may have been far more unfolding behind the scenes than he wanted to admit.

Huh.
Seems like the guy was trying to get ahead of a damning story he brought on himself by leaking whatever he could get his hands on to the press, no matter how it affected our nation. Now his reported (and apparently fairly recent) conversion to the right, exclusion from intel briefings due to suspicion, and recent posts contradicting everything he's saying now have clarity.

If you anticipate being tried in court, it's useful to announce your solidarity with a small but passionate group of political lunatics. They'll do jury nullification on your behalf.

41 Oh it was relevant for them to start the investigation AFTER he came out against the administration, not a moment before… Gotcha makes perfect sense.

following his resignation Trump literally said he was worried about his abilities yet no one pressed him on why he nominated him in the first place.

I would think a former Green Beret Warrant Officer with 11 combat tours, and then later worked with the CIA, would cover his tracks on disseminating sensitive information. I'm calling smoke and mirrors.

Imagine them going after someone like Kent before the creeps who raped children. Joe spoke negatively and truthfully about Israel and now he’s going to be viciously attacked. The power Israel has in the United States is staggering

Israel is the #1 threat to American sovereignty. The last president to tell them no in a serious way was JFK 5 months before his death and replacement with an administration that was the most pro-Israel yet

He didn't grow a conscience, he's someone very far to the right of the administration he served in, who hopes that criticism of America's relationship with Israel, will create more antisemitism in the US.

It would make a great deal of sense, circumstantially, for whatever that's worth, which is not much.

Carlson's perpetual look of fake surprise seemed genuine when he was talking about how there was never any clue there would be an attack.

I mean - that's retarded. When a carrier group takes a hard left out of the Straits of Malacca and shuts off its transponders, that's a pretty good sign. If I could read it, so could anyone else. At minimum, it means "there's a real strong possibility that the US Navy is planning to push somebody's shit in near the Arabian Sea."

But he seemed stunned by it - which might suggest someone in the administration told him that it wasn't happening, that this massive show of strength was just a bluff.

And that could be someone who the administration looked at and said "that stupid dick hates Israel, and loves Carlson, and Carlson is leaking to the enemy. Leak some bullshit to dumb-dumb and let him slop Carlson's trough with it."

FWIW, a code clerk in the US Embassy, TYler Kent, lol, was stealing top secret documents and giving them to Axis spies.

"Tyler Kent was a code and cipher clerk at the U.S. Embassy in London during World War II who stole thousands of classified documents in 1940, including confidential telegrams between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He accessed the materials while working in a position that required encoding and decoding sensitive diplomatic communications.

Motivations and associations included his staunch isolationist beliefs, opposition to Roosevelt's foreign policy, and involvement with the British Right Club—an antisemitic, anti-interventionist group led by Conservative MP Archibald Maule Ramsay. Kent shared some documents with Anna Wolkoff, a member of the Right Club, who sent copies to Germany via the Italian Embassy. The documents were later confirmed to have reached Wilhelm Canaris, head of the German Abwehr."

85 > Remember in the early days of WW2, there were a lot of Nazi sympathizers in very high positions.

US Academia at the time was infatuated with Eugenics. They also really hated Jews.

I've never understood Jew hatred, and until just a few years ago I thought Americans were mostly over it. I was wrong. So many of them came out of the closet after Oct 7 and during the Ukraine and Iran conflicts. I've seen many people reflexively oppose both conflicts because, "That's what the Jews want us to do!"

I absolutely do not want us involved in Ukraine and I want us to be out of Iran ASAP, but not because of, "the Jews."

I think he is probably pretty normal, notwithstanding probably still traumatized by the loss of his first wife. I think he just got caught up in the notion that "everyone is doing it" about leaking and ingratiating himself with leftist media, and he got caught out when the game changed underneath him.

92 Everybody keeps saying Kent was "leaking intelligence" but nobody ever specifies what "intelligence" nor to whom he was "leaking" to.
Posted by: Blast Hardcheese

In a top secret compartmentalized role, basically anything you say to outsiders not vetted and security cleared can be considered a leak including what you are working on at the moment.

As a former Green Beret, Kent knew what the standard was for disclosure of information which is different perhaps than a political hire that got stuck on top of an operation from the outside.

The usual play to determine whether someone is leaking by Trump is to give that person false information and see if it pops up. Depending on whether the target is a whole department or a targeting individual, you may give different people different false stories and the one that shows up in the press demonstrates who the leaker is. Then you focus on building a case by a thorough counter intel examination of that target.

Want a fictionalized taste of it, Palfrey of Westminster is free streamed on You Tube. Especially watch the first pilot episode for how to catch and destroy a traitor in place. Same process for leakers.

166 Admit that I never heard of or paid attention to Kent Doll til this week.

He reminds me of Fuentes, who both work at the mirror with mousse to get that little curl "just so." With a totally carefree and natural vibe. Not.

I can put on my make-up, rip out my hot curlers, flip my hair around, and be ready in 10min flat. Sometimes mascara in a moving car if running late. This is basically unchanged for decades, even back when I looked good. I am still unconquered as redneck conservative womman vs a liberal, shrieking and angry harpy. I still got it.

Kent's testosterone is the same level of Fuentes. Basically estrogen Pretti Good Boi.

167 You have to step back and question the big picture here. This guy felt comfortable sharing confidential information with the "press" (likely established sources for dissemination within the Intelligence Community).

So, what made him think that this wouldn't be discovered? Who is in place to protect that behavior? AND, more importantly, if no one is in place to protect his acts, does that mean that the Deep State is flailing and pulling "Hail Marys" in an effort to shape foreign policy in an effort to sabotage the current administrations policy?

This just seems either really stupid on Kent's part, or done out of necessity having lost infrastructure to proceed otherwise.

168 Obviously, it is not possible for people like Joe Kent or Tucker Carlson to have good faith political views to the effect that what is best for the USA is something other than the dictates of the Israel Lobby.

They must be grifters, Nazis, criminals, haters of Jews, agents of Qatar, or worse. There can be no honest difference of opinion here. We must build American gulags for them.

And there is only ever one issue of importance. Who knows what these people think about taxes, debt, immigration, vote fraud, DEI, crime, inflation etc etc, but it doesn't matter. None of these are the issue of importance.

Personally, I think we waited to long to whack the ayatollahs. They were allowed to perfect very effective ballistic missiles and drones. Israel has mostly shut down coverage of the damage done to them but they Iranians have been more effective than the public knows.

Perhaps they will send me to the gulag for being more agressive than the Israel Lobby. You gotta be right in lockstep with them, just as with the Bolsheviks.

My understanding is that gas is a cash business - no pay on credit, even for the real big retailers. The payment goes through as the tanker truck shows up. Since there is huge volatility in the gas market right now, the retailers cannot get caught short in the event of a price spike, so they hedge to make sure they have the cash to pay for the next shipment.

237 Here is how I would shape an opposition to our conflict with Iran:

"We need to focus on domestic issues, and are too far in debt to spend this much money expending ordnance on the other side of the world. Iran is an evil place, but the world is full of evil places, and it is not our job to police the world. America First means staying out of global conflicts, and we're already far too busy in other nations we shouldn't be to begin with."

See how you can do it? Israel doesn't have to even come into it. You don't have to echo Iranian talking points. You don't have to attack Trump. Unless that was your goal from the start, I guess.

Akagi
Kaga
Sōryū
Hiryū
Shōkaku
Zuikaku

These six carriers formed the core of the Japanese Pearl Harbor Striking Force, launching a total of 353 aircraft in two waves during the attack. All six carriers survived the attack and returned safely to Japan, though they were later lost in subsequent battles of the Pacific War. You may now continue.

265 Also, this is going to be a lot harder than Trump has let on. It requires a wholesale change in government in Iran to solve this now and not leave a worse mess in the future.

Trump could easily repeat the mistake Bush the Elder made by calling off the first Gulf War after 100 hours without even getting a peace treaty much less requiring that they hand over Saddam and formally relinquish claims to Kuwait and WMD programs. Leaving Saddam in place even after his military was defeated just sowed the seeds for the next, even bigger war.

There is deep, widespread opposition to the brutal theocracy but the opposition has no guns. The IRGC and the Basij have all the guns.

Israel's approach of launching widespread small drone hits against the regime enforcers helps, but it is not near enough.

And it's a tough sell for the Persian population if it is seen as the Jews and the Arabs imposing a new government on them. Another reason for us to be seen separately than the Gulf states and Israel.

Excerpt:

"Despite heavy opposition from Democrats, the Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026 narrowly passed the House of Representatives Wednesday.

The bill, sponsored by Ohio GOP Rep. Dave Taylor, passed 231-186, with all 186 nays coming from the Democratic Party, according to Fox News.

The purpose of the bill is to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to more stringently target fraud."

311 Making sense of the economy is never easy, but high (ish) interest rates, declining copper and industrial metal prices, a strong dollar, declining gold and silver prices all say the world economy is slowing and while the US will do better than everyone else (hence people selling gold and buying dollars). That kind of scenario is what you expect to see with a longer more drawn-out conflict in Iran, though oil prices are down a bit, so maybe the Straits of Hormuz will soon fully reopen.

Personally I hope Trump declares victory and begins to wrap things up over there. Let Israel and the Arab states mop up.

You know who loves the Iran attacks? Hillzabub. When Hillary is a fan, maybe rethink your strategy.

Because I had to in my nursing major. I hated the classes and rotating through psych as a student. My husband and classmates and professor would verify how much I endured in this nightmare of half a semester.

Poll: 84% of Republicans Agree With Trump on Iran, 6% Agree with Me-Again Kelly and Tuq'r Qarlson

OSZ
@OpenSourceZone
Among Republicans do you agree with Trump or Carlson and Kelly on foreign policy views
🔴 Trump: 84%
🟡 Carlson/Kelly: 6%
J.L. Partners poll | 3/17-18 | 1,018 LV

"GAAAH my vagina is so old it has mummies in it, AAAAH!" https://t.co/Wf8iehuyN6 pic.twitter.com/o6a08BaeEw
— The Reaping Phase (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 19, 2026

I certainly don't mean to age-shame anyone, as I'm very, very close to age 29 myself.

But Me-Again Kelly absolutely freaks out when you point out she's a senior citizen playing to the Gen Z Groyper set, so I'm going to keep on hitting her on this.

The small number of "Republicans" who agree with Tuq'r and Me-Again does not doom them at all. To be a major hit in the country, you only need the support of a tiny percentage of the public. If 0.1% of the people support you, congratulations, you're a millionaire.

And the more "selective" viewership of these two crusty Nazis actually puts money in their pockets: the "alt-right," now revealed to mostly be unreconstructed Nazis who just want to remake MAGA in Der Furher's image, feel like a small and isolated group because, of course, they are. But small, isolated groups have a lot of internal solidarity, and they will gladly put money in the pockets of any grifters who make them feel validated.

And that's why we must ban every person who voted for Trump from ever voting again, they support the destruction of the US and must never be given the chance to do this harm again.

Felons don't have the right to vote, what Trump voters have done is far worse than most felonies. I don't understand why people are so hesitant to punish people for their bad decisions

Mainstream media's rapid lurch to the far-right shouldn't be a surprise to anyone given how they've all bent the knee, obeyed in advanced, bribed the regime with fake settlements, etc.

153 As an olde supermodel I know, even in a fit of a fever (99 is not much except to me) I know when my hair looks like crap. My hair is below shoulder length and blonde because I refuse to go grey. And I am often told (by women) that I look younger, so there's that. I've taken good care of my skin, largely due to a first basal cell at 32yrs after decades of being tan every summer and swimming.

Which brings me back to Megyn's hair, which disturbs me in ways I realize is not important or the point. Does she have a mirror? What is that? Why? Does she wash it or wait for Tucker to do this for her?

I know when I need to go to the hair salon for a cut and highlight because I have a mirror. Why doesn't she try something new and gain about 10lbs?

Catherine Deneuve once said (I think it was her) that after 45yrs you need to choose your face or behind. I chose my face. My behind needs work, a lot of work, and I wish I could fly Piper out here for advice.

The Hollyweird trend for buccal fat removal of faces is going to backfire and they will regret that bigly. I know as a model I always wanted to look like a skull for photos.

Think this through: If Iran really is the threat that Trump says they are, then we can't leave them standing. It has to be Total Mullah Death, and a friendly government installed.

Here is the interesting thing, though. IF (and a big if indeed) Trump had followed the typical Neocon playbook, it would have been to force Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado onto the Venezuelans as their new master, and she was 100% into gay rights and other key progressive and open society goals. And Tucker would have been right in saying the Venezuelan adventure was to force that thinking on Venezuela.
However, Trump is not onboard with the neocon goals -- thank God.

207 Think this through: If Iran really is the threat that Trump says they are, then we can't leave them standing. It has to be Total Mullah Death, and a friendly government installed.

I disagree.

Historically the way you dealt with enemies like Iran were punitive raids and opportunistic assassinations.

You don't need to wipe out all the pirates/roving horde/etc just make them break back into feuding neighbors.

If the outcome of the Iran war is 4 different factions all claiming to be Iran and spending all their time fighting each other that is as win.

212 193 Here is the interesting thing, though. IF (and a big if indeed) Trump had followed the typical Neocon playbook, it would have been to force Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado onto the Venezuelans as their new master, and she was 100% into gay rights and other key progressive and open society goals. And Tucker would have been right in saying the Venezuelan adventure was to force that thinking on Venezuela.
However, Trump is not onboard with the neocon goals -- thank God.

Trump wants what's best for America, not what's best for some third-whole shit hole.

He wants American companies to get their equipment in Venezuela back and sell the oil to America.

He wants Iran to no longer be a global sponsor of terror.

Some radical cleric can take charge in Iran, for all he cares, as long as that radical cleric prioritizes getting pissed on by hookers more than dying for worldwide Sharia.

The left don't care about facts nor logic--all their arguments are purely rhetorical (and bad rhetoric based on falsehood to boot). The Right thinks you can reason people out of opinions that they never used reason to get in the first place. A few will get the whack from reality soon enough to change. Most will not.

The independents are always trying to triangulate between left and right leaving them confused, in a muddle, and low information as to policy cause and effect. These are the people that always pick the default middle position on religion, morals, crime, etc. They are most conservative with their own life and what they know but feel being in the middle of the herd of society publically is what protects them.

But its not a question of stakes. This the correct way to deal with this sort of threat.

At a relatively low cost you'll get, at worst, feuding mini-irans. At best you get a neutral despot that is more worried about his regular trips to the best whore houses in Dubai then he is in killing Americans.

You see, I was playing on this very idea.

I set up the situation (tattooed on my forehead). I set up the potential and obvious problem (can't read it in the mirror).

This would lead to the reader assume that I can't read it because I had it done the normal way.

And then I undercut that expectation by playing into my long held truth of being an illiterate (also an asshole, but that is ancillary to this joke).

That was one of the first clues that Europe was in the Terminal Looting phase; they couldn't take their hands out of the till long enough to buy enough military to enforce their precious Worldie norms. Another was when they tried to send vehicles and aircraft to Ukraine, they couldn't scrounge up as much as they said, and much of what they sent went directly to a "use for parts" section since it hadn't actually been maintained. Unless Poland decides to conquer Europe, the most they could do to each other is retard slapfights.

What Trump has done in our hemisphere and what I believe will eventually be a VERY positive outcome in Iran will put this nation on a positive global trajectory for decades....which translates to economic and security gains at home. Real ones that can be felt.

But, people are tards and fickle. Gas prices are up (in most places) my town in IL was ticking in at 2.80-3.15 depending on location and planet alignment for a long while...now it's 4.00. This will be seen and felt. If ripples in our domestic economy begun to be felt in a real way or even just fuzzy numbers..it will be propagandized and weaponized for the LIV's and that will play out in the midterms. Bad enough and Senate may be in play.

Amusing little story. We met on Match.

I knew what my best picture was.

It was me, holding a Guinness, in the Gravity Bar of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Laughing off to the side.

It also...had my ex-girlfriend in it.

I cut her out, presenting just the right side of the image.

Well after we started dating, she found the full picture on Facebook. She wasn't very happy. Her favorite picture of me was ruined.

Really? I had this argument with Podhoritz over at NRO about the time the Passion came out.

As a bad Catholic, from my observation, some jews take ANY fervent display of Chritianity as prima facia anti Semitism. It really does seem to be a thing. As far as I can tell, it is a reflexive cultural thing stretching back 100s of years.

Not sure how to attack that one. As has been stated very often it is near impossible to deny your way out of perceived prejudice when it is something you are except to become something different. I have always suspected it crosses the boundaries between politics, religion and culture.

He comes around from time to time including last week. I think he did have a law practice so that may be taking more of his time.

Rightly or wrongly, Trump has forced a major shift in the Right as far as what is possible, what is good, and what is bad.

In the process, the GOPe has had its charlatinism on a lot of doable policies that the GOPe just did not want done. From GHWB to GWB, failure theater became embedded into the GOP because the donor and official class wanted a kindler gentler corporate globalism policy, not functional GOP policies to reverse the leftist drift.

Closing the border, ending the US being screwed by our foreign trade partners, stopping globalism, rejecting eco tyranny and rule by judges, etc.

We all know she will be wearing her red lipstick.

While I still have good lips...after insults for decades about them by my brother...I can't pull of red lipstick. I look like a clown and it's not me of the hippy dippy natural look of the late '70's.

I've had one or two "make overs" and run home and scrub it off. Once in NYC before dinner with my husband and it had to wait (subtle green eyeliner, which wasn't bad, but I don't need eyeliner).

This concludes whatever is going on in my squirrel cage brain for now. I had enough sleep to do a few chores after weeks of TB and loss of time and mind. Going to get cracking!

🚨 BREAKING: 🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes.

416 322 I think it is true, whig, that many, if not most, people pick a team and listen to its leaders to know what to think, say, and do, but one has to protect and refine one's own world view. Listen to the smartest, most experienced opponent, and learn to refute what that one says.

Eh, been there done that with the tshirt over gun policy advocacy, working in politics, etc. Basically most people in society are there for the ride, politics and cause and effect of policies cause them to be rationally ignorant. And they can develop those policy preferences by empirical evidence smacking them over the head like Eastern Europeans being virulently anti commie and likely Iranians becoming virulently anti mullah if freed. But they cannot be reasoned into those positions from others.

Kipling's Gods of the Copybook Headings is a dismal dose of reality but societies really do repeatedly make the same mistakes. Some survive it, others go extinct but those truths that Kipling discusses in his poem are eternal. No amount of utopianism, logical arguments, nor even knowledge of human history will dissuade some from thinking this time it is different. It won't be.

The elephant in the room in the Iran matter was their imminent acquisition of nuclear weapons. Tge standard counter to this is that we've been told about this imminence for years and years, but nothing's happened.

I'd say in response that you have to look at the current situation and think for yourself. Looks pretty imminent to me, no matter what's happened before.

Witkoff, who was in the room as chief negotiator, says that the Iranian negotiators were saying that had several hundred pounds of 60% enriched uranium, that there was nothing the US could take from Iran without military force, that they were definitely going to enrich further, and that no, they would not take a perpetual lifetime of nuclear fuel for reactors in exchange.

Trump believed them.

All that and... Jesus was a Jew. All the apostles were Jews. Almost every book in the Bible was written by Jews. Christians would argue that our faith is the proper and natural continuation of Judaism from the Old Testament.

In no way and at no time should Christians ever hate or persecute any group at all, let alone based on its ethnic background, Jews in particular.

And yet, Judgement is mine saith the Lord. Deciding the fate of others not in communion with Christ is up to the big guys and not for us on earth. And we can witness and make available our knowledge that Jesus loves them too and wants them to take his embrace regardless of what they are, what they've done, etc. But the choice is always the individual's, not ours to make but the Lord's.

In my case, I judge people for their actions but not to determine their salvation or not. Instead, it is to avoid the bad and embrace the good.

Official Twitter Account of Republic of Somaliland: We Have Proof That Ilhan "Omar's" Real Last Name is "Elmi," Changed to Hide the Fact That Her Father is a Genocidal Warlord

And to defraud the US immigration system, of course.

I have to correct something I have repeatedly gotten wrong: I have long called Ilhan "Omar" by the name Ilhan "Omar" Nur, to stress that "Omar" is not her real name. She falsified her name to fraudulently emigrate on an Omar family visa.

I kept saying her real last name is "Nur." That's wrong. Nur is her father's first name, not his surname.

Her actual real last name is "Elmi." Apparently her father, Nur Elmi, began using the name "Omar" to hide his identity.

REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND
@RepOfSomaliland

🧾 Receipts: Ilhan Omar's original last name was Elmi before it was changed.
This evidence was available, but the Obama Justice Department refused to investigate.
Her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and their father, Nur Said Elmi (also known as Nur Omar), used multiple names across different countries. Part of the family fled to the United Kingdom, while Ilhan Omar and others entered the United States under their father's assumed name, "Omar."
These name changes and split identities were used to conceal the father's true war crimes and identity.
Marriage details:
* Groom: Ahmed Nur Said Elmi
* Bride: Ilhan Abdullahi Omar
(real name Ilhan Elmi)

— REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND (@RepOfSomaliland) March 19, 2026

Here are the details on Ilhan Elmi's actual father -- a genocidal war criminal.

Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar's father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland.
This dark chapter in Africa's history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched‑earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao), aerial bombardement of almost every other single city, town and village in Somaliland, and two decades of large‑scale red-terror style tactics against the civilian population of Somaliland.
It was carried out through relentless aerial bombardments -- planes repeatedly strafed fleeing refugees -- summary executions, burning of entire villages, deportations, land‑mining of water sources and homes, Holodomor style government enforced man-made famines (the Dabadheer Drought) and the use of paramilitary units such as the Somali Armed Forces' "Dabar Goynta Isaaqa" (The Isaaq Exterminators), composed exclusively of non-ethnically Isaaq soldiers, to enact mass killings under Somalia's military direction.
War-damaged houses in Hargeysa, a major city in northern Somalia, 1991.
Eyewitness testimonies documented "mass executions by firing squad, forced disappearances, looting, mass torture, mass surveillance, rape used as a weapon, curfews and mass killings of civilians even in areas with limited resistance or lawful liberation movement activities, such in Berbera where thousands of government soldiers were stationed. Isaaq civilians across what was then the Somalia Republic, were detained and executed en-mass by Somalia government execution squads led by Colonels like Ilhan Omar's father.
Across the country civilians were forced from their homes into dehumanising conditions, including many kept in dungeons, underground prisons and pits. Even famous Isaaqs such as Somaliland's most renowned poet 'Hadraawi' did not escape this torture and years of detention under the most brutal and unsanitary conditions imaginable. Even in Mogadishu, deep inside neighbouring Somalia -- and almosr 1,500KM from Somaliland's capital of Hargeisa -- Isaaq civilians were being killed in their homes, in the city and on Mogadishu's beaches. The Jazeera massacre of 1989 is a particularly brutal example that is etched in history.
At the heart of this brutal military regime was Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar's father. His rank, authority, membership of the regime Daarood clan, and 10+ years of having climbed the hierarchy in Somalia military to the rank of Colonel, placed him squarely in the Somali military's command hierarchy during and at the height of its Isaaq genocide campaign. Based on his position, loyalty to the regime, and his role in the military, it is virtually certain that he had intimate knowledge of and involvement in the planning, conception, direction and execution of the genocide.
By both legal and historical standards, despite Ilhan Omar's team's spin in numerous recent articles which have been placed in left-leaning online publications, the logical conclusion that Ilhan Omar's father was almost certainly intimately involved in the Isaaq Genocide is unmistakable. It is supported on the balance of probabilities and the totality of circumstantial and inferential evidence available indicates, more critically, that it meets the threshold that this was the case 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

Oh, and that account wants you to know that Somaliland is not the same country as Somalia.

Dear Americans,
The good people of Somaliland did not steal your hard-earned tax dollars.
Somaliland is not Somalia.
Think South Korea vs. North Korea -- same language, similar names, but completely different ethics, morals, realities, economies, and systems.
Professor Shahid Bolsen will explain.
Sincerely,
The Republic of Somaliland

Okay so Somaliland is very opposed to Somalia. But I trust them a lot more than the pirate filth of Ilhan Elmi's murderous family.

Somaliland withdrew from its union with Somalia in 1991 after war and mass atrocities committed against its people by Somalia.
- Egypt and Syria formed the United Arab Republic, then separated.
- Senegal and Gambia formed the Senegambia Confederation, then separated.
- Czechia and Slovakia formed Czechoslovakia, then peacefully separated.
- Serbia and Montenegro formed a union, then separated.
- The United Kingdom joined the European Union, then left.
If political unions around the world can dissolve, why is Somaliland treated differently?

September, 2024. CNN's Kaitlan Collins pulls up a clip of Trump in 2016 talking about Somali migrants in Minnesota.

Collins played the clip because she was about to bash Trump with Ilhan Omar before the election and wanted to show Trump's "racist and inflammatory" comments.� pic.twitter.com/sdjqWwStgp

I understand the reasons that nations don't want to recognize Somaliland, specifically being worried about other breakaway regions in other nations. However recognizing Somaliland would potentially give us an "ally" in the area. The better reason to do it would be to piss off Omar and the rest of the Somali fraudsters

=======
Similar people, similar religion, different colonial masters. British (and there was a French enclave too) had Somaliland as a colony, the other part of Somalia was ran by Italy as a colony. Italy was crappy about running its African empire.

Similar differences across the Red Sea in Yemen--S. Yemen and N. Yemen. merged after the Cold War ended.

A lot of this is because Britain knew its access to oil and shipping lanes after the Suez canal depending on being able to keep the pirates down. So they put colonies in those areas to keep shipping safer and oil flowing from the Middle East.

I don't want them to be embarrassed; I want them to be furious. Their military incapacity is a sign of the level of parasitic load in their society, indicating that the grifter class has completely stolen all of their country's accumulated wealth and most of their nation's ongoing income.

To state it plainly, probably 80% of their public expenditures are waste, fraud, and grift. They badly need their own Doge. What's more, all populist parties around the world should be demanding an audit of their gold reserves (with spot checks for purity) -- yes, including Europe and the Anglosphere. There is no reason for anyone to trust any establishment anywhere on anything. That's the takeaway.

Gateway Pundit:

Trump Vindicated Again: Forbes Values Mar-a-Lago at Massive $560 Million, Exposing Letitia James’ Fake Numbers

During New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ 2023 civil fraud/political persecution of President Trump, one of her most ridiculous assertions was that the president had ‘overvalued’ his Mar-a-Lago property.

According to Tish and affirmed by crackpot Manhattan Judge Arthur, the massive oceanfront estate was only worth $18 million.

President Trump said during the trial, “But this is the Attorney General of New York State, Leticia James, and she shouldn’t be allowed to be Attorney General. She’s defrauded the public with this trial.”

...In Forbes’ 2026 Billionaires list coverage, the outlet updated its valuation of Mar-a-Lago to $560 million, up from $370 million the previous year and a far cry from James’ politically motivated assessment.

Israel already has recognized Somaliland. And we should too. Simply put, colonial governments and borders in Africa and the Middle East were set up for Western purposes to govern and prevent other Western rival nations from access to resources but in a tribal and clan societies, it built in civil wars that have raged since the colonizers left.

Made worse by the Cold War and Islam. Diversity and proximity to each other are not a recipe for internal order of a state. Let Somaliland separate peaceably is my suggestion if they can make it stick.

105 Somali names follow a patronymic system, where the structure is:

First name (personal name),
Father’s first name (middle name),
Paternal grandfather’s first name (last name).
For example: Ali Omar Elmi

Ali = personal name
Omar = father’s name
Elmi = paternal grandfather’s name

This format emphasizes patrilineal heritage and lineage. The last name is not a fixed family surname but rather the name of the grandfather, which changes with each generation. This is why siblings share the same second and third names, but the names of married parents and their children often differ. You may now continue.

Her district is majority white and super progressive. The Somalis in her district were the ones sounding the alarm when she started campaigning. The white progressives told them to sit down and shut up.

This reminds me of all the Anti-Semite Nazi rats at the end of World War II that took off for South America and changed their names. That a fraud like ilhan Is always calling Americans, whom she apparently despises, Nazis is behaving exactly like actual Anti-Semite Nazis is an example of molten hot irony. Odds on she also dipped her beak into the millions of dollars that were stolen in Minnesota. Maximum pressure until she gets deported.

Speaking of criminal Muslims here in the United States. I came across yesterday a case that involves murder, bigamy, theft, fraud, cheering for 9/11, and complaining that Sharia law should be used during the death penalty trial and sentencing. Islam is absolutely incompatible with Western societies.

I read the Mouse that Roared and watched part of the movie. Once was enough as I preferred sci fi at that age when I read it. I think Grand Fenwick was based on Luxembourg.

------
We simply need to recognize that people are not widgets and come with their own complicated stories, tribes, clans, etc. and the borders and countries need to coincide with the preexisting societies and culture. Thus, S. Sudan and Sudan, Eritea and Ethiopia, etc. etc.

Trump initially chastised Israel for recognizing Somaliland and then had second thoughts. My guess is State Dept and ngo types were reacting in horror that a dysfunctional Somalia might suddenly become less so (at least in Somaliland area).

Indicates Trump is not beholden to the NGO and State Dept. mafia in that he reconsidered his original statements and walked them back when informed.

Hate to be a broken record (just kidding that's pretty much all I am), but the reason you haven't seen him here is he shot his mouth off about how Trump was a big loser for all of 2016 then when Trump won, he magically disappeared without a shred of contrition. Came back when we "lost" in 2020. Not when we won in 2024 though. And now that there's a war he's back because he was actually right all along you just couldn't see it.

Slow bubbling resentments and ethnic clashes that can be spun up into a war are the most important things for the global elite. They can sell arms, get cheap resources, overwhelm "allies" with refugees, play the insurance market, and distract from the current scandal.

274 Cut to day after election day 2026:

Dems gain 7 House seats. Senate doesn't change composition.

"We told you this would be worse than 2018!"
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Lot of weird shit in the 2026 election zeitgeist. Lot of redistricting, Democrats having a popularity rating in the toilet with the GOP rating slightly better, the war going on, and a hardening of public attitudes on a lot of issues.

And some shoes to drop on elections, the Russia Russia grand juries, massive fraud being exposed in state after state, and the increased scrutiny of Act Blue, Win Red, and their smurfing ways.

Trump also has the weird divergence that Billy Jeff showed in his second term where a lot of the disapproval is over the person rather than the policies. So the traditional presidential approval ratings include respondents that like Trump's policies but not the man himself for whatever reason--morals, propriety, etc.

The EU and Japan Hint They Might Do Something to Protect Shipping in the Strait of America

I don't believe them. This is very gauzy and gaseous.

Trump should just declare that only ships transiting to the Western Hemisphere will be protected. All other ships? Iran, do your worse.

Jacqui Heinrich
@JacquiHeinrich
NEW: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, & Japan issue joint statement expressing "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts" to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, welcoming nations engaging in prep/planning & coordinating SPR releases and ways to increase output.
Calls for Iran to "cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817"

"Appropriate efforts" means "we issued this paper statement."

The statement commits to nothing:

We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.
We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The effects of Iran's actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.
Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations.
We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.

That's the extent of their commitment: they express their readiness to "appropriate efforts" and welcome the commitment of other nations to "preparatory planning."

45 Oil wise I don't really care about the the Whoremuse. Oil prices in the west were at $100/barrel where they were at $150/barrel yesterday in Europe. So some divergence has occurred.

Unfortunately, a lot of fertilizer goes through there, so that will have a food price effect.

There is still more to degrade in Iran before Go Time.

Europe believed that about the industrial revolution 100 years ago and actually did the "more socialism" thing.

I really don't know why people on our side are panicking.

They've killed and maimed thousands of Americans in the Iraq War and helped Venezuela flood our country with drugs and gangs. They are the nexus of terror and evil. How much do you think that has cost us over the last 50 years?

So gas prices go up for a few weeks, maybe longer. It's absolutely a bit of pain I am willing to endure to end the mullahs once and for all. Maybe we can stop worrying about leftists bitching about gas prices and focus on winning and what that will bring.

Yes, trump overtly stated to hld off the start of the counter-revolution until the bombs stopped dropping, to avoid freidnly fire incidents.

But I'm not sure that's wise. I think an internal assault on the iRGC needs to happen simultaneously with the external assault. Having the two halves of the war happen sequentially allows the IrGC to concentrate on each enemy threat one-by-one, rather than be overwhelmed.

For most of us, gas is an ongoing expense, so it makes sense to average out the price over a longer timeline. Gas was way high all through the Biden junta, and began to come down when Trump was sworn in, and continued to drop until this current Iran war ramped up. It will likely stay up until the war is won, which will happen in a few weeks. Average that out to a per-annum gas price, and we still come out ahead.

Maybe you missed the two decades we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are used to long engagements, and bombing Iran is just plain fun. It's not like we are five months into it.

Besides, the Israelis never get tired of dropping bombs. Bombing Muslims is their national pasttime now.

The mullahs have no money. No air cover. We can kill their police eating lunch. We're killing off everyone of flag rank. Eventually they get sick of it and quit.

But even if they don't, we can fly top cover on them indefinitely. We did it from 1991-2002 and then kept right on going. No one cares about air rotations.

You have roughly 125k IRGC members before this war kicked off and about 1 million or so Basij. Many of the Basij did it for the money. The IRGC is like the CCP in China, they ran the state and economy, the Basij were the hired help in repressing the Iranians.

Now, the money is worthless even if you could somehow pay the Basij (we nuked their bank that did that along with computers), the Basij face death from above or from their own countrymen on the down low, and the IRGC is getting hammered.

They cannot meet in groups anymore (see the Israeli attacks on sports facilities being used as assembly points), their comms are likely shaky and compromised, and they are hunkered down in safe houses that can be exposed by Iranians calling in fire from the sky.

289 Trump and Hegseth know the score: No one cares about the use of American air power.

The Navy, yes, because the crews get homesick and the ships need longer repairs, but we have been rotating Airmen all over the world since 1991. Nobody cares.

So we've hit on a tactic that they cannot counter, and that we can sustain indefinitely.

291 Allowing American-flagged and -crewed vessels to get blown the fuck up by mines to own the libs.
Posted by: Masturbatin' Pete
=======
US flagged vessels, particularly tankers, are almost non existent most do Jones Act protected shipping from US port to US port, not the Middle East.

To the extent that you have some Marshall Island flagged tankers, they are often foreign owned and crewed with whatever sailors world wide that can be scraped up for the lowest cost.

Fracking changed the equation. US is a net exporter now of LNG and oil. Most of the rest of the industrialized world is not.

Simply put, we need very little from the Persian Gulf, our putative allies like Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Japan (not to mention China which is not an ally) do need that oil.

Exactly what it is. We are testing the hypothesis that if you kill enough leaders and the thugs that keep an unpopular and murderous regime in power, then a more civil society will emerge.

Ironically, by pissing off the neighbors and literally cutting off the oil supply to the Euros, India, Chicoms, etc., Iran is running out of any international counterbalancing that is willing to keep them in power.

It is also killing the green dream to some extent revealing that solar cells and windmills cannot and do not run a modern industrialized economy. You need coal, nukes, nat gas, oil, etc. even if your cars are EV.

335 400 high end vehicles stolen
The theft of 400 high-end vehicles in Metro Detroit is a significant and alarming incident that highlights the vulnerabilities in the auto industry. The operation, which spanned from mid-2023 to mid-2025, involved the systematic collection and export of these vehicles to markets in the Middle East, where demand for luxury cars remains strong. The investigation revealed a sophisticated and organized scheme that operated quietly, with most owners unaware of the fate of their vehicles. The indictment of eight suspects involved in this international car theft and smuggling ring underscores the need for vigilance and prevention efforts to protect communities from such crimes.

No problem. But the you did voice concerns via your joke that others that are lurkers may be harboring. Wars are unsettling things and figuring out how to stick the landing (and our leaders cannot tell us what the plan in advance is because it a) depends on enemies not knowing exactly what it is, b) the enemy always gets a voice in these things).

356 What the fuck do you know about military planning?

Look, there are some basics that must be followed in every war.

1. Make sure everyone knows what you’re going to do before you do it, especially Internet commenters.
2. Goals are less important than plans and schedules.
3. Your opponent will never lie.

358 Trump was asked by a Japanese reporter just now why we didn’t tell Japan about attacking Iran, Japan was very surprised. Trump asked him why Japan didn’t tell us about Pearl Harbor. Japanese prime minister looking at the floor. Trump went on to quietly explain about surprise needed to be successful.
Posted by: Jen

Just saw that while wifey was watching.
"Who likes surprises more than Japan... Pearl Harbor..."

He could have had more lead-up to the punch line.
Japan actually felt that they had done a shameful thing, attacking w/o warning. They had actually planned on dropping their declaration of war literally as the bombs were falling. See, see you were given 5 seconds warning....
For us it is a distinction w/o difference, for Japan it was a big dishonor, even as they were literally practicing catching babies with bayonettes in China.

There will be more that die, it is the nature of war and uprisings, some will die so that others may live. Harsh, unfair, and unpleasant and it often seems only the good truly die needlessly.

Before Roger Waters went nuts and totally anti semitic, in the album, the Final Cut, he wrote a haunting elegy "The Gunner's Dream" FWIW, his father died in at Anzio beachhead in Italy during WWII. Verse two is appropriate about what US forces are trying to do.

"A place to stay, Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore

400 400 high end vehicles stolen
The theft of 400 high-end vehicles in Metro Detroit is a significant and alarming incident that highlights the vulnerabilities in the auto industry. The operation, which spanned from mid-2023 to mid-2025, involved the systematic collection and export of these vehicles to markets in the Middle East, where demand for luxury cars remains strong. The investigation revealed a sophisticated and organized scheme that operated quietly, with most owners unaware of the fate of their vehicles. The indictment of eight suspects involved in this international car theft and smuggling ring underscores the need for vigilance and prevention efforts to protect communities from such crimes.

Wars are unsettling things and figuring out how to stick the landing (and our leaders cannot tell us what the plan in advance is because it a) depends on enemies not knowing exactly what it is, b) the enemy always gets a voice in these things).

I have no idea what is going on because I don't listen to podcasts or go off the rails if I can't control things. I am barely controlling my own life after a virus. I might have had the new killer virus the news mentions! Like war, it is hell. I slept better last night so have more clarity vs mush brain.

Apparently on the "other blog" I ran off the raking leaf/saving bug woman simply by politely disagreeing with her. Weird. She's not a troll but I think I discovered why she's no longer married. I honestly did not mean to run her off in a snit. My powers are greater than I thought!

Another guy, who screams "neocon" about everything, stated that THIS WAR was influenced by THE SAME PEOPLE who advised GWB for Iraq. I asked politely who, then listed all the dead people like Cheney. He's the guy I argued with about Fuentes.

It's the podcasters, y'all! Like Levin (who I've never listened to). I politely told him no talking heads influence my vote, and I doubt Trump, and he said ok and that ended that.

My theory is that people have morphed GWB with Trump and that makes no sense to me.

We obliterated their ability to make more enriched uranium. But they already had a fair bit.

You keep saying shit like Iran is a nice guy and we pissed them off.

The fact is the reason we are at war with them is they didn't take any offramp offered...even Obama's was bullshit.

My son was in the Navy and while stationed in Sasebo, Japan he participated in joint exercises with our Asian allies. He was extremely impressed with the professionalism of his Japanese officer counterparts.
But exercises are fake and I think Japan realizes that their navy needs real world experience. They know they are being challenged by China. There are many strategic reasons to support a mission to open the Strait of America, or Hormuz as some call it.

The Morning Rant

Does the current conflict in Iran represent an inflection point in the strategy of war?

Israel has honed its skills at decapitating the various Islamic terrorist organizations that have besieged it since its founding, using a combination of electronic (and other) intelligence gathering, sending clandestine services into the hearts of those organizations, carefully cultivating spies within and without those terrorist groups, and probably most of all, being nimble and able to respond very quickly to actionable information.

But the vast improvement in missile technology, coupled with the revolution in drones that allows surveillance in real time and almost instantaneous attacks, has shifted the paradigm. No longer are the leaders mostly safe from attack. And that has been used to great effect in Iran, with the top tier of leaders mostly killed, their replacements mostly killed, and even their replacements killed, or so far down the organizational command structure that their decisions are not yet considered important.

That brings unbelievable uncertainty to the conduct of the war, and while any competent armed force has contingency plans for loss of leadership, those plans are by definition locked into a strategy that has become useless.

No plan survives first contact with the enemy

Who said that is debatable, but it was probably von Moltke (or Clausewitz). But it is axiomatic, and the destruction of Iran's leadership has thrown the entire country into chaos, with its military response simply reactive, without any strategic goal other than to cause damage wherever it can. That is not a plan for victory.

In addition to its military's lack of coordination, its justly feared internal security apparatus is able to detain or kill street protesters, but has lost central command, so there is very little intelligence being gathered on the growing rebellion.

It is a recipe for disaster on all fronts, and regardless of whether the Mullahs can retain control, or the army or IRGC stages a coup, the days of Iran being a regional power and exporting its brand of Shia Islam terror across the world are over.

And all of this was accomplished with superb human and technical intelligence, real-time military action on that intelligence, and amazingly accurate munitions that simply did not exist a generation ago.

Imagine the beginning of World War II, If Great Britain had been able to kill Hitler and Göring and Himmler and Goebbels and Bormann and Keitel and Raeder and Donitz and von Ribbentrop and a few dozen others at the top of the Nazi hierarchy. Or far more chilling...imagine if in May 1940 Nazi Germany had killed Churchill and Bevin and Portal and Montgomery and Dowding and Slim.

The counter-argument from the increasingly unhinged supporters of Iran is that martyrdom is a victory. Well, then in a few weeks when the entire hierarchy of the Iranian Mullahcracy is dead, we should declare victory for Iran! Then the people of Iran can reconstitute some semblance of a government, and we can leave, with the admonition: "Don't make us come back!"

Imagine the beginning of World War II, If Great Britain had been able to kill Hitler and Göring and Himmler and Goebbels and Bormann and Keitel and Raeder and Donitz and von Ribbentrop and a few dozen others at the top of the Nazi hierarchy.

Worked pretty good in the Pacific, as Isoroku Yamamoto found out. First, by setting up the ambush at Midway, and about a year later when Barber and Lanphier gave him a P-38 Lightning enema.

Killing islamo-weirdbeards is always a plan. But you have to kill all of them, down to the last imam in podunk Achmedville. And then the new Shah's government has to make muslims into resident aliens, with zero political rights at all. If they don't like that, let them leave.

35 USA and Israel are doing a fantastic job in this war. It's almost too easy. It's tempting to say we're at an inflection point in the strategy of war. Maybe we are.

But we should also keep in mind that Iran's military and defense/offense capabilities are nowhere near pier level, and their commanders are retarded. It's a Temu military. Their Chinese weapons don't work. Their navy and air force are little more than target practice. They apparently buy their drones from Target.

So yea, we are making this look very easy, but it helps to have an vastly inferior enemy led by idiots. Suffice to say that, just like with Iraq a few decades ago, the Iranian military power was drastically, drastically over-rated.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at March 19, 2026 11:15 AM (iFTx/)

36 The persistent problem in Iran is the top individuals may be gone but the institutions are hanging on, and also that whatever remnant is left of their offensive capabilities is still managing to shoot at passing ships in the Strait.

Incidentally, that should apply here, and in Canada, France, Britain, Germany, too. No political rights for muzzies. If they cannot vote, or hold office, or contribute to politcal parties, politicians wil not pander to them. If individual muzzies are agreeable to that status, let them stay.

Any survey of religious beliefs in Iran is deeply suspect considering the tyrannical nature of the government that is willing to mow down protestors and is run by a religious theocracy.

That 37% is based almost entirely on the 2020 GAMAAN study. The data collection relied heavily on online, viral sampling, and snowball methods. It almost certainly oversampled younger, more online-savvy urban Iranians, who probably are more secular or at least think it's trendy to say so.

This would be like trying to get an accurate poll of political affilition in USA if you sampled mostly young hipsters in blue cities.

Do I think Iran is 99% Muslim, as the regime says? No. But it's way higher than 37%, IMO.

106 But the vast improvement in missile technology, coupled with the revolution in drones that allows surveillance in real time and almost instantaneous attacks, has shifted the paradigm.

You're missing the weaponized drones flooding social media. Previously, the media would lie to the public, but avenues to influence large segments of the public were limited and controlled, and foreign influence especially had trouble infiltrating US mass media.

Now, with the explosion or unregulated social media, it's relatively easy for foreign actors and America-hating Americans to sow discord within the populace, and drastically skew perceptions of what is considered normal or acceptable by the populace.

There is non-stop nonsense posted about how Trump has no plan for the Iran war, how he was surprised by oil prices jumping, how Iran is winning (?), Trump is desperate for other nations to help BECAUSE he's losing, we have no exit strategy, we're pawns of Israel (and Putin, still, I think?), etc.

Sure, the people starting this conversation probably know it's BS, but millions of TDS afflicted retards (and bots) parrot it and spread it, and people start to believe it. It works.

There was something a couple years ago (during the Air Force's latest 'we hate the A-10' thing) where they were saying that smaller planes were so much better and just as effective as the A-10.

One thing they discount. Let's say you are a guy with an AK in the middle of the desert and you and your goat fucking buddies are heading toward a village. You either see what looks like a Cesna or an Warthog. Which makes you want to dig a hole in the sand and crawl in faster?

202 Well, hell. I wish I had more time to spend here but I'm off to the dentist shortly.
Inflection point? Perhaps. Taking out the leadership has always been a tactic so nothing particularly new there. The uses of long-range missiles and drones are also not new...think Germany's V-1s and V-2s, and Iran-Iraq in the 80's. But as mentioned above, the effectiveness of these systems when tied to immediate intel sensors is certainly a change in the TTPs of warfare. (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) We started this in Desert Storm and it worked remarkable well, with VII Corps Deep Attack Cell hit 2,616 targets in the 34 days of shooting. But the effects then, while significant, are nothing to what we are seeing today.
All that said, We cannot get too carried away yet. Still a lot of work to do. When I hear the Pentagon say they hit 200 targets, what that says to me they hit 200 aim points. Together, that may have been 50 "targets."
But no matter, if President Trump has shown us anything, it is he is the master of deception and he most certainy has a plan.

I wonder if the kickbacks on missiles is so much higher because they are one use, so a gun platform (A-10 is built around the gun but also carries missiles) is just no where near as sexy to the top brass.

Excerpt:

"Bandar Anzali is home to the main base of the Iranian Navy’s northern fleet, and the port plays a central role in the maritime trade route between Iran and Russia. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Caspian has become a key smuggling corridor: Iranian and Russian ships have routinely switched off their tracking systems and transferred cargo between the Iranian ports of Anzali and Amirabad and the Russian port of Astrakhan. Tehran has used the route to send Moscow drones, missiles, bullets and mortar shells for use against Ukraine."

264 There was a story, "Swiss Movement" from 1975 by Eric Vinicoff and Marcia Martin about defending against an enemy by killing all those leaders who could give the orders to attack. It was in the June 1975 Analog and also reprinted in the 1981 anthology "Survival of Freedom" edited by Jerry Pournelle.

This now is the updated version with precision guided and FPV drones instead of undercover assets doing the wet work. Though the undercover assets are still essential.

There are also reports that armed on-the-ground people are killing lower level Iranian regime security personnel.

The Morning Report — 3/19/26

Good morning kids. So yesterday a 7-ton meteor almost slammed into Cleveland, and today we have this. . .

On Wednesday night, the Washington Post reported that "U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live" and that those officials have not yet determined where they came from. . . One of the sources, who the newspaper says is a "senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity" said that the military is currently monitoring threats more closely due to the "heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran."
. . . Back in the fall, several news outlet reported that both men had moved to military bases, along with Donald Trump's Homeland Security advisor, Stephen Miller. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also had to move to a military base. According to the Atlantic, other members of the administrative have as well.

Well we are at war with Iran, which, it cannot be stressed enough, has been at war with us for 47 years but the difference is we finally have a President who understands the threat to our national security and the peace of the world that an Islamic Iran poses.

And with the usual fifth columnist backstabbers questioning the war and demanding to know what the President's "Exit Strategy" is, the exit strategy should be, and I thought was, Total Victory with the complete defanging of the Mullahs if not their utter collapse and the ascension of a government that is minimally a peaceful nation state that will no longer foment terrorism in the name of annihilating the USA and advancing Islam across the region and the globe.

With that, the President's repudiation of the State of Israel over its attack on an Iranian oil field makes no sense at all in light of all the players involved.

“Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” Trump said. “A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.” “Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility,” Trump added. “NO MORE ATTACK WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.”
. . . The South Pars gas field is the world’s largest natural gas reserve and is jointly operated by Iran and Qatar.

Considering we have military bases in Qatar and they are putatively an ally, as well as the effect on world markets the crippling of this field would have, this might have something to do with Trump's response to Israel's attack. But that said, either we are in this to win it or what the hell are we doing in the first place?

While we're on the subject of existential threats to the United States of America:

Democrats’ DHS funding blockade, framed as civil liberties, instead weakens core security agencies during wartime—exposing Americans while advancing an increasingly radical agenda. . . Financed in part by malign foreign powers who seek to defeat the United States, radical left activists have co-opted the Democrat Party. Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, head of the supposedly centrist New Democrat Coalition, typifies the illogic. “My concern about DHS is their absolute disregard of the Constitution and American citizens’ civil rights,” he said, adding, “So until we see officers who abuse citizens’ civil rights held to full account, until we restore full congressional oversight, I’m not giving another penny to ICE and CBP.”
. . . By providing the energy, funding, and activists who increasingly guide the Democrat Party, the Marxist wing has become its base, electing avowed Socialists including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, Rashida Tlaib, and more than 100 other officials. A Fox News survey released last week found record 38% support for socialism, including 66% of very liberal voters. Many Democrats are defunding Homeland Security because of the current Middle East war, not despite it. In their heavily refracted perspective, Iran is a peaceful nation that, as Sen. Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, claims, poses no threat to America. To the Marxist wing and growing numbers of other Democrats, Iran balances the “genocidal” or “apartheid” regime in Israel. . .
. . . Auric Goldfinger told James Bond that he didn’t want a dialogue; he wanted Bond to die. Likewise, the Marxist wing isn’t seeking compromise. It seeks to bring down American exceptionalism by replacing American history with the 1619 Project, action civics, and critical race theory. My center-left friends steadfastly want it to be true that radical leftists share common values with other Americans. They don’t.

Have a great Day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

THE GREAT SOMALIAN SIMOLEON SWINDLE
Gov. Gavin Newsom had a choice. When independent journalist Nick Shirley exposed over $170 million in suspected fraud in California's government-funded programs, he could have promised accountability. The fraud involved daycare centers, hospices, and adult care facilities billing taxpayers while allegedly delivering nothing. Newsom could have said his administration would investigate. . . Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is calling out Newsom. "Why can't you celebrate any journalist or any activist doing that?" Fetterman asked during a podcast interview. "And Governor Newsom put out a disgusting video implying that he's a pedophile or he's that… why? That's kind of a smear. You want to disagree, but to imply that someone in one of the most gross kinds of terms like that — it's like, hey, shouldn't we agree, eliminate all the waste?

Since this case otherwise stands as huge warning that doing business in New York exposes you to nakedly political lawfare, the state will be far better off when that reversal lands — ideally, with language harshly slamming James and Engoron for making a travesty of justice.

Today, marking the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we reaffirm our commitment to dignity, tolerance, and mutual respect.
Standing up against Islamophobia is not only about defending one religious community. It is about defending our shared humanity.

"As travelers' views shift, and fewer people seek to purchase horses, can buggy manufacturers survive?"

That's an imperfect analogy, because buggy manufacturers weren't a gang of borderline retarded, morally bankrupt perverts.

But the point stands - not everything from the past needs to be the norm forever.

If you want a buggy for your horse, you can still get one. Just ask the Amish.

And if you want to spend the wealth of Croesus on a parchment that certifies you as an unemployable Communist sodomite, then you'll be able to do that, too.

143 Iran’s plan is not to fight a war. It is to stretch things out.

They believe the US will walk away if this drags on too long. So do the Russians and Chinese who are supporting Iran. It’s why they are providing targeting of oil facilities and infrastructure.

And they may be right.

Israel knows this too. Smoking the gas field was part of trying to squeeze the Iranians and create some short term pressure. It probably won’t work and it angered a lot of people who were aligned with them. I can tell you it was also a surprise to many people who matter. It was a badly calculated move.

Thankfully it looks like CiNC will stay the course. We will continue capability degradation and keep decaffeinating people. There are still a lot of Basij and other goons walking around. They are still lighting off some of their better missiles. That’s should and will be our focus.

Judge Jeffrey Bryan, appointed to the bench in Minnesota by the Biden administration in 2023, is refusing to recuse himself from an ongoing habeas case involving immigration enforcement, according to court documents. The Department of Justice (DOJ) had requested Bryan walk away from the case, questioning his impartiality given his marriage to Minnesota Solicitor General Liz Kramer, who is leading a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge.

There may be so much aerial activity over Iran that it would take too long to develop a daily mission-by-mission Israeli and US deconfliction plan. And once created may not provide much flexibility to add targets and assign forces, in real-time. The daily joint deconfliction plan may be simply be a straight line with a buffer zone on either side. The line moves daily, as needed. My guess.

Maybe. But it's not like they hit a random missile launcher. They hit the biggest natural gas field in the world that is jointly owned by Great Satan Iran and Lesser Satan Qatar. I would think that place was discussed regularly because of the impact of any attack both financially and militarily.

Qatar has to be the most duplicitous "partner" we have and the Israelis have their own issues with them for hosting Iran's terror proxies for years. Lots of attacks against Israel were planned and run from Qatar and if you remember Israel went after some of the leaders of Hamas in Qatar and Trump gave them a wrist slap for that as well.

Seems more like plausible deniability to me.

211 President Trump DECLARES its allies have BETRAYED the USA. "We have 45,000 troops in Japan, 45,000 in South Korea, and 50,000 in Germany. We defend all these countries."

Fucking donkey trying to drag everyone into a world war. Allies communicate their intentions to go to war, before going to war! Now that the war has turned to shit, after bad mouthing and applying tarrifs to allies, want allies on board? 🙄

He has simply lost all respect from the rest of the world because of the constant betrayal and discourse he’s been dishing out.

From the body language & tone I can decipher he seemed like he really wanted no part of it. Kushner & Co. the Israeli agents, and the Christian Zionists etc. have been in his ear have been whispering in his ear for a long time.

Lol, he thinks we have troops on Germany and Japan for German and Japanese interests? How is such a stupid man president?

Threatens Greenland then demands we send the boats we would need to defend Greenland somewhere they'll likely get sunk. He thinks we're as stupid as him.

You occupy these countries, they would much rather you leave.

I do believe a war can be won with air power alone; and it’s worthwhile to reduce the attackers casualties. But doing things by air only probably *increases* the numbest of casualties that must be inflicted before the end. No one will surrender to an air campaign until the entire country surrender, there will be no prisoners. It’s an all or nothing effort.

230 From Insty:
Tweet continues, “‘Harvard’s Jewish undergraduate enrollment stands at 7 percent today, the lowest level recorded since before World War II and the lowest of any Ivy League institution with reliable data. That is roughly half what it was a decade ago, and less than a third of the 25 percent share Jewish students held for much of the latter twentieth century. Among well-documented peer institutions, no school has seen a steeper recent-decade decline.’ In the hearing heard around the world from 2023, I pressed Harvard’s former president Gay on this matter and it was essentially shrugged off as you can see from this testimony. I strongly believe the antisemitism does not just impact students on campus at Harvard; it shapes admissions. Worth a rewatch.”

This is actually good. It means parents and kids are actually thinking 'why send/go my kid to a school where they are going to get harassed because they 'look Jewish?' And maybe, just maybe, they'll go to a school where they won't turn into a good commie drone.

In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of lever

An engineer who works for me, a citizen originally from Beirut (a Christian) owns an apartment in Beirut his mother lives in and he bought a family beach house from his parents, up north somewhere. Of course, until Hezbollah was organized by Iran, the traditional split in Lebanon was a third Christian, a third Muslim and a third Druze or other. Now a lot of Christians have fled to Europe or elsewhere, but there are still plenty there. As you know, Lebanon was always a vacation spot, a little like Dubai or Abu Dhabi is today.

So its not surprising to me he owns a place there, and also that he might be a little pissed off to see it destroyed. Blame Hezbollah buddy. Go ask them for compensation.

293 But doing things by air only probably *increases* the numbest of casualties that must be inflicted before the end

You are correct, but frankly this is an odd discussion.

The *goal* of war is to inflict enough pain on your enemy that they accept your terms. A strategy that involves not exposing your own people to harm that also increases the harm inflicted on your enemies is...perfect

Systematically destroy the Iranian economy while being very clear that is what you are doing and tell Iran that they can surrender at any point they want but there will be no rebuilding.

We're getting our oil domestically, from Mexico and Venezuela. If gas prices are spiking, it's in blue states.

Not only will it force the rest of the world to beg the US Navy for protection.
And not only will it make the US the de facto insurer of shipping.
But it will it force Congress to pass the appropriation for Trump's Freedom Ships.

302 Wachspress wrote on Bluesky and in a Substack that when she was a 20-year-old junior at U. of Chicago, Democrat candidate Biss was her professor in a math course. He was then an assistant professor at the university and was 26. He was very friendly to her during office hours and then, after the term ended, sought a romantic course of action with Wachspress.

Cliff Notes:

1) Student dated her former professor for a while AFTER he was no longer her instructor
2) They never had sex
3) They broke up by mutual agreement
4) This is who MeToo says is "brave as shit"

Progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh closed out her failed Illinois congressional bid Tuesday night with an expletive-laced tirade against President Donald Trump and federal immigration authorities, telling supporters, "f--- Trump, f--- ICE, free Palestine." The comments came at the end of her concession speech after losing the Illinois 9th Congressional District Democratic primary on Tuesday. "I don’t know if you heard, but we didn’t win, and it really f------ sucks. We came really close," Abughazaleh told the crowd, adding that her campaign was "something that no one in power even expected would be possible at all."

310 Some 13,000 lawful noncitizens, including refugees and asylum seekers, are losing their CalFresh benefits in San Diego, according to the San Diego Food Bank.

The April 1 changes only impact a fraction of the approximately 400,000 San Diegans enrolled in CalFresh. However, on June 1, the CEO of the San Diego Food Bank, Casey Castillo, said about 100,000 people will see their work requirements change in order to keep receiving their benefits.

Some adults will have to work or volunteer 80 hours a month in order to maintain their enrollment. There are exemptions, according to the county, including for caregivers of children under the age of 14.

A bipartisan gaggle of US senators is looking at blowing up DMCA Section 230, the law that makes modern social networks - and to a certain degree, blogs and forums - possible. (The Verge)

Section 230 shields website operators from lawsuit over the behaviour of commenters. But it also serves as a shield for website operators that deliberately inculcate certain behaviours in their users - or that censor users to block behaviour they find undesirable.

It's a people problem, basically. There is not single technical or legislative answer to this mess.

Indie Game Joe
@IndieGameJoe

Two indie devs made a game where you run your own video store in the early 90s. It’s currently the #5 top-selling game on Steam.

- Rent out VHS tapes & manage customers
- Charge Late & Broken Fees
- Upgrade & customise your store

It’s called Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator

I've spent 2 days installing and configuring 2 different open-source image fixers (make Face B conform to Face A) with the varying help of Gemini, ChatGPT, and Grok. Incredibly tedious setups, but okay, it's common for open source, especially when some AI is giving you instructions ("You are correct; the 2026 UI does not, in fact, have a dropdown where I told you to look").

The problem was... Awful results. Tinkering and resetting parameters and reconnecting nodes and still awful, AWFUL results.

So I uploaded two images to ChatGPT and told it to conform Face B to Face A. Boom, done.

21 What is destructive is the insidious belief that the world outside your front door is to be treated with suspicion; that every passerby is a potential threat; that every neighbor is a potential enemy; that every human interaction must be stored and cataloged as evidence of possible crime. This attitude is destructive of good will, of brotherhood, of peace, of love. This is the attitude of the Gestapo. This is the attitude of the paranoid lunatic. This is totalitarianism creeping into your home disguised as safety.

Dude, a lot of people get them just to stop porch pirates.
That was the very reason I considered getting one.
Several years back somebody stole a brand new TV off the porch that had just been delivered a few hours earlier.

He makes a half-ass argument on people stealing Amazon packages but blames poverty and envy like a typical socialist.

His attitude is "So what? Let them rob you, or assault you out of love."

I don't even own a doorbell camera, but I certainly understand the reasons behind cameras, and people are more than able to determine their needs on their own.

What a dipshit point of view.
If I was a criminal this prick would be my first target.

The various open source models are getting easier to use but it's still a pain, and is often limited by hardware unless you can afford to lay out a few thousand to get enough memory to hold the larger models.

Hopefully in a few years they'll be easier to install and use, but it's not there yet for people who aren't IT enthusiasts with high-end equipment and large amounts of RAM/VRAM.

Which is why ChatGPT and the rest of the subscription models are still so popular.

53 The top 50 Best, selling laptops on Amazon. Six of the top 10 are Apple computers with the Neo being number one.

The rest are from various manufacturers. Without sitting down and grinding through the math, it seems the average selling price of all non -apple laptops on the Amazon list is around $450 and $500. Most of these are the usual budget dreck of which I've owned more than two or three just like these. This list squares with the type of budget laptops I see at the Walmart, Staples, and Best Buy all the time.

The average budget laptop buyer now has a choice . They can grind through trying to sort out the inscrutable differences between these endless budget laptops or they can walk over to the Apple counter and pick up a Neo. One is a gravel bed of friction and one of them is the a nearly frictionless buy.

In the 2000s PC manufacturers cannibalized their average selling prices in an ever downward spiral partly from competition and partly from silicon being good enough that it ended the every few years replacement cycle. This led to the birth of the plastic fantastic laptops. These manufacturers are again faced with a similar dilemma.

After seeing houses I liked on Realtor, I emailed some agents, and one not only got back to me, she recommended some lenders there. I've spoken to both the agent and the lender and gotten the pre-approval process started with the latter. Of course I'll call another lender to be on the safe side. But these people are actually moving, unlike the agent I was talking with in Owensboro, and unlike the agents from Evansville who never called me back at all.

Franklin was referring to government and the state, not criminals on the street stealing packages.

You're free to believe that but that I don't see a problem with "convenience".

Franklin was also the first U.S. Postmaster General.
How do you think he'd feel about people stealing mail out of mailboxes? It's still a federal crime, right?
Should we not prosecute people caught on camera stealing mail?

Is it an argument against convenience to have surveillance cameras around your home to prevent home invasions or burglaries? I'm sure Nancy Guthrie's family wish they had some better security around her home.

This socialist's problem isn't convenience or surveillance, it's that he doesn't care about crime by poor people.

I know -- very daunting. But until this week I had no idea where to begin and had only the vaguest idea of how to proceed. Local lenders vs. national, how much of the approval and loan process could be done remotely, etc. The agent tells me that she can even do a FaceTime with me to show me a potential house in detail if I can't be there. That's what they do with military relocating from overseas, so the buyer can at least see the house before he arrives.

88 Is it an argument against convenience to have surveillance cameras around your home to prevent home invasions or burglaries? I'm sure Nancy Guthrie's family wish they had some better security around her home.

This socialist's problem isn't convenience or surveillance, it's that he doesn't care about crime by poor people.

I see both sides of this issue so ultimately I'm ambivalent. We love the convenience and security aspects of our Ring camera (yes we have one). At the same time I'm aware that every house in our entire neighborhood has a similar camera (or multiple cameras) and it does bother me that every time I leave the house for whatever reason I'm on camera. The notion that my every moment is filmed does bother me... but there's nothing I can do about it; I can't force my neighbors to remove theirs. The only way I could avoid this is to move to a very remote location, but I like suburbia so I live with it.

89 The visit plan is to drive: one day to Memphis, one day to KCMO, and then hit Salina, KS, the third day. Stay a week, then return the same way. Gas may be $4 a gallon by mid-April, but I gotta do it. Naturally I'll let the agent lady drive me around town as much as possible!

In '97 I drove to CO, and in '01 back to Lousy-ana, in two three-day sessions. The first was a horrible strain with a moving truck, towing my car; the second, in my vintage Mercedes sedan. And I was, hrm, a bit younger then. But I may only have to do this twice: once to visit, the second time with the cats and my clothes to stay.

Wednesday Night ONT - March 18, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Did I mention the shenanigans were random? They are indeed random.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Leave Tucker, Megyn, Candace and anyone similar to threads elsewhere.

This is Bethan's Rock. Who is Bethan and why does Bethan have a Rock? Glad you asked.

Bethan's Rock is on display at Poole Museum which is a maritime museum, art gallery and cultural center located in Poole, Dorset in the southwest of England. A main focus is a preserved 13th-century shipwreck known as the Mortar Wreck which is presented alongside various artifacts the vessel was carrying when it sank. The museum also features a 2,000-year-old Poole Logboat which is an Iron Age vessel found in 1964 during dredging work in Poole Harbor.

Per Atlas Obscura:

In the summer of 2019, a young girl by the name of Bethan was visiting Poole Museum with her mom. While exploring all the site had to offer, she and her mother began to discuss what museums do and why. Inspired by her visit, Bethan felt eager to support the museum's collection. She decided to donate her most precious treasure, something that she felt was appropriately significant and valuable: her favorite rock. Curators placed Bethan's Rock in a glass cabinet, just like many of the museum's other valuable artifacts, where visitors are now able to appreciate the piece as much as Bethan once did.

The rock donated by five year old Bethan became a social media phenomenon in 2021 after showing up on a Reddit post. If you're ever in Poole, stop by and have a look. Admission to the museum is free (but I doubt they're taking more rock donations).

Random music trivia:

Look at this gent playing keyboards in the video for "Video Killed the Radio Star" in 1981. It was the first music video aired on MTV. The band's name is The Buggles.

Oddly, he was not a member of the band, did not play on the actual studio recording of the song, and reportedly did not write the song or contribute musically to the track's composition or production.

At the time of the video, the band itself only had two members - Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn (a third, Bruce Wooley, was involved when the song was written but was not with the band at the time of the video). Horn handled vocals, bass and guitar and Downes played keyboards. But the guy playing keyboards in the frame above wasn't Geoff. It was a cameo by a keyboard player that Horn knew and worked with in London in the late 1970s.

Who was the guy? Hans Zimmer. You might have heard of him. He went on to compose soundtracks to many movies, including like The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crimson Tide, Gladiator, Batman, the Dark Knight, Inception, The Last Samurai, No Time to Die, Dune, Rush (the racing movie, not the Canadian trio), Top Gun:Maverick and more. What's your favorite Zimmer score?

Three jars of standard peanut butter costs $1246.

Five vials of Organic Contaminants in Smokers' Urine (Frozen) costs $1854. (For the record, frozen organic contaminants in non-smokers is the same price.)

Four 70 gram jars of baby food composite costs $1246.

In case you missed it among all the St. Patrick's Day festivities, March 17 also marks the date of the launch of Vanguard 1 in 1958. It was the first satellite with solar panel and remains the oldest artificial object still in orbit around the Earth. Communications were lost in 1964. To give you a sense of size, Nikita Khrushchev nicknamed it the "grapefruit" satellite. Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2, and Explorer 1 were launched before but none are still in orbit.

Goldfish drives custom-built car a record distance in one minute

A Netherlands engineer built a car for his pet goldfish, Blub, who drove the vehicle a distance of 40 feet in one minute to break a world record.
Thomas de Wolf constructed a four-wheeled vehicle with a water tank for a driver's seat. The vehicle is steered by analyzing the movements of the goldfish inside the tank.

ONT Legal Docket

The home of rapper Afroman was raided by Adams County deputies in 2022 when they served a search warrant looking for drugs. They found no drugs and brought no charges. They took $4000 in cash and eventually returned $3600 (there is a dispute about the amount involved). They also damaged the home and refused to pay for the repairs.

Afroman was not amused and put out a song and video titled "Lemon Pound Cake."

The video was ostensibly to earn money to pay for the damage. It took issue with the officers involved and used his own security footage. Video footage showed police ramming down his door, searching his wardrobe, opening CD cases, and at one point briefly glancing at a lemon pound cake on his counter. Thus the name of the song...

Seven officers sued him over the video on defamation grounds. Afroman attended depositions and trial adorned in an American flag outfit.

This afternoon the jury returned a verdict in favor of Afroman on all counts.

The unfortunate loser in all of this? The Adams County police department in Colorado received a deluge of unhappy emails and social media messages in support of Afroman. The problem is that the whole thing took place in Adams County, Ohio.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office has received a flood of social media comments, DMs, and phone calls about the #Afroman defamation trial. It�s clear this is important to a lot of people. There's just one small issue: that's the ACSO in Ohio. We are the ACSO in #Colorado.� pic.twitter.com/MJWtu96YbR

95 Anna Puma, when I was stationed at Edwards, 1980 or so, they test fired an A-10 gun on the ground right across the taxiway from our program. Tightly secured with cables. I think it was a 10 round burst which lifted the aircraft off the ground a couple of inches! I strolled over and got an empty cartridge case. I just looked at it and the markings are not decipherable. But the projectiles didn't explode when they hit the embankment. That was long ago. Thanks for the updated info!

——

The assumption was, the Soviets were not capable of such things. Sputnik weighed 184 pounds. The top scientists in the US thought somebody must have dropped a decimal in the translation. 18.4 pounds was believable, maybe. 184 pounds meant they had heavy lift capability.

One thing it did do, that secretly relieved Eisenhower. The path of Sputnik put it right over the US. Prior to that, there was some legal questions, internationally speaking, about overflights.

Aircraft were right out, considered sovereign airspace or whatever. But, the Soviets couldn’t complain about our satellites overflying the Soviet Union very well, now could they? The precedent had been set.

The Democrats made hell for Eisenhower over this issue, politically speaking. Lyndon Johnson particularly, and later, JFK against Nixon. In those days, it was a contest to brand the other guy as “soft” on communism for electoral purposes.

102 BTW, putting the A-10 over Iran is going to complicate the tanker plan. Ugh. We had to slow almost 100 knots and put down flaps if we had much gas onboard. With a couple now out of commission, even more so.

103 Afroman was not amused and put out a song and video titled "Lemon Pound Cake."

The video was ostensibly to earn money to pay for the damage. It took issue with the officers involved and used his own security footage. Video footage showed police ramming down his door, searching his wardrobe, opening CD cases, and at one point briefly glancing at a lemon pound cake on his counter. Thus the name of the song...

Seven officers sued him over the video on defamation grounds.

These cops are gay and retarded, and deserve to be hounded not just out of law enforcement but civil society at large. Also, chicks should not be cops. Especially ones that cry on the stand.

156 A guy I worked with worked at Edwards when they were developing the GAU-8, the gun the A-10 was built around. They test fired the thing right next to the building he worked in. When they set it up.outside, the word would go through his building, and lots of people would come out to watch.
He made the acquaintance of one of the techs, who told him that the original test fire had all the slugs going through the same hole - it was too accurate. They redesigned it to "scatter" the shots out to about a 15" diameter.

While it carries a lot of ammo, it also burns through it all in something like ten seconds. So they have a specific training mantra to get the timing right, in order to get enough hits on a target, but still leave enough for four or five other targets.

18 seconds, according to Wiki, at 3900 rounds per minute.

They can burn it all in one shot, but it shortens the barrel(s) life too much. Thus the mantra, I suppose.

I'm about to bake.. well actually it's some kind of thin bone-in pork steak, because it was cheaper this time, but whatever. There was too much for one pan the other day, so in doing the remainder today (which is why I don't have the wrapper with the label), there's room for a kielbasa that I keep forgetting to prepare.

And the Brave AI answer was a resounding, "Yes!!" Just poke some holes in the casing so it doesn't burst, maybe brush it with some oil, turn it once, and it doesn't even need to reach a specific temp since it's pre-cooked. Just bake until nicely browned. Nice.

Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.

The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless...

when my boys were wee lads, I would often feed them. When it was the fruits, banana-pineapple, apple, apricot, etc., it was "one for you, one for me." Squash and peas, not so much.

They were on real food by 9 months. We were rebels.

250 One Islamic family's immigration story in the USA. It is easily confused with the classic late 19th century immigration tales of arriving with nothing, working hard, assimilating, and becoming the seed that would flower over the generations, provided you overlook the fraud, theft, sharia law and culture that ended up in the murders of two daughter's husbands and a close friend, an Iranian woman who defied the liberating middle eastern culture. Given the massive fraud in Minnesota, the ROP terrorists attacks, how immigration is working out in England, and the current dust up with Iran it all seems relevant. I take it as learing moment.

It is dense story...keeping the names straight is a chore.

262 Nothing humorous to add. The NIST standards are real materials that are used by industry, academia, and governmental labs to assure that instruments and testing procedures are working correctly. All of them have a purpose needed in commerce. Each one of the standards has a certification sheet that relates how each standard is to be used. Without them, the numbers quoted by analysts could not be compared and would there would be complete chaos in the "testing world". NIST gets requests for developing specific standards and does extremely elaborate internal testing to assure each standard. I believe the organization started with weights and measures eons ago. In a previous life, I used the X-ray diffraction standards in my work.

Yep. Connecticut and Vermont are the other NE states that allow it. The whole Atlantic coast all the way to SC, along with PA are 151 only.
That's an expensive way to make shellac; you're paying big bucks for the drinking tax. But, the hoops required by the BATF to get an industrial license are probably not worth it.

Almost every frat at school.had their own secret stash of 190, used for spiking punch or whatever. Any ChemE student knew how to get around the BATF inspectors when they ran a batch of ethanol. There were multiple testing taps on the distilling setup, and one inspector. Nobody needs to get into the locked, logged storage room with the multiple 55gal barrels full of the stuff.

311 At some point, if the Iranian regime is truly in free-fall towards termination - the only result that is not just kicking the can, although it's a very robust kick to be sure - they'll almost certainly go after the softest/most valuable targets, energy infrastructure. Of course. The obvious Samson move.

The implication that somehow this conflict can be kept within artificial bounds, where certain things are off-limits, is delusional, and dangerous.

Trump's second post on the Pars gas field thing, while characteristically a bit odd, is at least much better than the one earlier today. In that he said the Israeli strike *was* known/OK to the US (a separate head-scratcher here), but the concerning bit was where he said he thought Iran had gotten the "message" - and that more such attacks would follow if they didn't behave. I felt transported to the late 60s (minus the gas prices).

Well the thing is you have to avoid wood alcohol because it can attack your optic nerves and make you blind. Your fingers can get into it when you french polish, so everclear is the way to fly. It works better too while polishing. You get a faster buildup because its not as strong as denatured alcohol, or so it seems anyway, so you don't have the alcohol attacking the layer you just applied. Yeah it costs more, but you have that bottle of everclear for a fairly long time. You only need 8oz to make a good size batch thats lasts awhile.

Like most "organic" products, a completely false assertion. There is no way that 200 proof - that's 100%, no water - alcohol can be produced by distillation. IIRC, from my PhD Chemist cow-orker, it requires some fancy reverse osmosis procedure done under a pure dry nitrogen gas atmosphere and sealed in glass.
So, it's probably 190 proof. I'm sure that the.price varies by state because different state tax rates, but, even so, that's one hell of a bargain. If I owned a bar, I'd be buying this for use in all those flaming drinks. The last time I bought 190, I paid about $30 a pint, and I'm sure it hasn't gone down since then.

One of the churches in Three Hills, Alberta, not far from where I live, has church bells that sound the hours. I don't mind that; at least it is nominally useful. Stanley Park, in Vancouver, B.C. had the Nine O'Clock Gun, a cannon that fired each evening at nine P.M., originally intended as a signal to cease fishing for the evening. Somebody loaded a rock in it once, and it holed the "ESSO" sign on a fuel barge in the harbor. I'm sure it's been discontinued, now.

I went to their Web site, because I had the same thought, Azeotrope, and all that. Well, they distill it to 92.5%, which is the azeotrope. Then they pass that through a molecular sieve made of engineered zeolite which traps all the water. Then they redistill the now dehydrated alcohol in a pot still to get rid of any organics that report to the heads and tails; only the mid-run gets bottled.

I'm taking him to some local social services outfit, that probably will want to sign him up for a housing list. I described the situation to them last week, and they said they would research options for him. I made clear, when they tried to book app't for 2 weeks away, that that was not acceptable: he needs to leave my house ASAP, so they miraculously found an appt date for 1 week away. (Tomorrow.) I told them he must go to homeless shelter if other accommodation can't be found at that time.

BIL is too impatient (what I've noticed, especially *last time* he was here) and will probably decline and whinge -OR- try to stay in my house while he waits. NOPE!!!

So-- perhaps he will buy himself a bus ticket to whereverthefuck and try to sponge off of someone else? We'll see.

He's too needy. I'm tapped out after dealing with hubby.

My own sense is that we are reaching the point of maximum danger in OEF as the US/Israel campaign relentlessly grinds its foe down. The Islamic Republic represents a 49 year investment, not only by Shia radicals but also by Russia and China.

The loss of that giant edifice means personal death for many and political oblivion for countless more. It represents geopolitical defeat for powerful nations. People and fanatic states do not expire without a fight, especially if they are comprised of brave men. As they lose their grip they will become desperate in a way that people who have not been in that situation cannot grasp.

If our local.refiners don't have to compete with foreign refiners for our crude, and we don't have to outbid foreigners for the locally refined gas and diesel it can work. Otherwise our prices are going to rise, drastically when the world supply takes the big hit.

I went to their Web site, because I had the same thought, Azeotrope, and all that. Well, they distill it to 92.5%, which is the azeotrope. Then they pass that through a molecular sieve made of engineered zeolite which traps all the water. Then they redistill the now dehydrated alcohol in a pot still to get rid of any organics that report to the heads and tails; only the mid-run gets bottled.

I see poly (I assume HDPE) bottles in the pics. It isn't going to stay "dry" in those bottles for more than a month or so. My previous job had a PhD Chemist, and MS Chemist, and a BSChemE. I remember one of them describing an experiment where they filled a 100 ml. beaker with 100% ethanol and set it on the counter in a room at normal humidity -around 35-40% rh, , waited an hour and tested it. It was 95%.

368 Been going down the rabbit hole watching you tube vids of people touring on adventure motorcycles, basically motorcycles for road and off road. I see them on paved roads a lot, and not much off road. Silly things really, small engines, and they get blown around a lot by trucks when they get passed. I don't know, tires that are great for paved roads would suck for off road, and tires that would be great for off road would suck on pavement, so they have tires in the middle ground, meaning probably bearable for either, but not real great. They don't look real comfortable either.

372 Those "adventure motorcycles" still sound a step up from the dirt bikes that are commonly used in the Russia-Ukraine War. Since large concentrations of troops and even full-size vehicles are drone magnets, they approach a city off-road two to a bike, with a massive pack that probably has drone-jamming ECM in it, making a loose skirmish line that can survive long enough to actually see and attack defenders.

Artillery and JDAMs also do a lot of the work, but if I were younger I would be looking to build some skill with tools that might be useful in the event of our slow civil war continuing to heat up. Drones, ECM/ECCM, and, yes, dirt bikes are on the list.

Supposedly reliable as all hell, 2 cylinder, not 1 as some of these things, and it has horsepower in the low 70's, which is plenty of power. Its like 12K new. Not exactly cheap, but it looks pretty good. Yeah I think of colander face mask world and really wouldn't want to do it on a harley.

Yeah thats one of the high end bikes I was talking about. I think the drummer from Rush, Neil Peart did something like 55,000 miles in something like a year and a half touring all over the US and some of south America. He was riding one of those bikes. Might have been the RG1100. He was all over the place and probably going 500 miles a day for months. He was changing his oil a lot, and when near a BMW dealer he would leave it there for a day and had it gone through. I don't think he ever broke down with it.

And dogs are naturally romantic.

I have the new iPad Air, you can do as much on it as you can the NEO, which does looks like an awesome little entry laptop. We can say what we want about them being commies or whatever, but the seamlessness between everything, to include my phones / watch is awesome. I am no IT person, so the fact I can set all this up speaks to its usability.

107 Why would Democrats care about boinking 13 year olds?

Practically or de facto a major plank in the party platform.

What would really invoke the ire of “progressives” would be that Mr. Chavez and his oft-repeated attacks on illegal aliens and migration.

In those days, Unions were staunch protectionist, acknowledging the plain fact that labor is subject to supply and demand the same as anything else.

Wages have been stagnant since 1974, which is truly remarkable. I remember an interview with AFL-CIO leader Dick Trumpka shortly before he died. He said he had absolutely no problem with millions of illegal aliens in the labor pool.

You have to concede a grudging admiration for decades of hollowing out our institutions, the Long March. It is truly something to behold. Government, Churches, corporations, Academia, you name it.

None of this would have been remotely possible without a phony baloney “reserve currency” confetti-buck money laundering operation. The Fed Buck Cannon will thwart any legislation, popular sentiment, simply by paying off the right people. The AFL-CIO leaders were some of those people.

No, Poland does not currently operate any aircraft carriers. The Polish Navy is primarily focused on smaller vessels and does not have the capability or need for aircraft carriers.

It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.

The US has been avoiding these targets. Iran hasn't. So from France, no ships, no planes, just a simpering proposal for a moratorium that the disconnected remnants of Iraqi chain of command will ignore.

212 the plot thickens!

"Former director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Joe Kent is reportedly being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for “allegedly leaking classified information.”

Shelby Talcott, a White House Correspondent for Semafor, reported that according to “three sources,” Kent, who resigned from his position on Tuesday, is being investigated by the FBI. The alleged investigation “pre-dates his departure.”

In another post, Talcott said, “a fourth source” also confirmed this."

He was leaking. I believe Bannon is involved. 2 month ago Bannon had a "leakee" who divulged that the US and Israel are "going to do something" vis-a-vis Iran. At the time when nothing was concrete and Witkoff was shuttling back and forth. Bannon created a "media company" so he could hide his nefarious activities under the guise of "journalism".

216 He was leaking. I believe Bannon is involved. 2 month ago Bannon had a "leakee" who divulged that the US and Israel are "going to do something" vis-a-vis Iran. At the time when nothing was concrete and Witkoff was shuttling back and forth. Bannon created a "media company" so he could hide his nefarious activities under the guise of "journalism".

Quick Hits

Remember the days when two Republicans led the jungle primary for California governor, meaning, if that survey support translates to actual votes, the only two people competing in the election would be those two Republicans? No Democrats allowed? No "Independent Socialists" running as spoilers?

Well those days are back because the most recent poll shows the two Republicans leading.

Again, this isn't a primary poll -- it's a poll of the so-called "jungle primary" where everyone runs no matter what the party. The top two vote-getters here advance to the general election.

Conservative commentator Steve Hilton had the support of 17% of likely voters and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco had the backing of 16%, according to a poll released Wednesday by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by The Times.

Last time I checked, the Democrat with the most support is noted Chinese Spy Eric Fartwell. I think he had 13%.

Poland has now completely healed from the economic and cultural retardation of Invader Communism and is now wealthier than most European countries.

-- A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today its economy has edged past Switzerland to become the world's 20th largest with over $1 trillion in annual output.
It's a historic leap from the post-communist ruins of 1989-90 to today's European growth champion that economists say has lessons on how to bring prosperity to ordinary people -- and that the Trump administration says should be recognized by Poland's presence at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies later this year.
...
The guest invitation to the G20 summit is mostly symbolic; no guest country has been promoted to full member since the original G20 met at the finance minister level in 1999, and that would take a consensus decision of all the members. Moreover, the original countries were chosen not just by GDP rank, but by their "systemic significance" in the global economy.
But the gesture reflects a statistical truth: In 35 years -- a little less than one person's working lifetime -- Poland's per capita gross domestic product rose to $55,340 in 2025, or 85% of the EU average. That's up from $6,730 in 1990, or 38% of the EU average and now roughly equal to Japan's $52,039, according to International Monetary Fund figures measured in today's dollars and adjusted for Poland's lower cost of living.
Poland's economy has grown an average 3.8% a year since joining the EU in 2004, easily beating the European average of 1.8%.

As someone pointed out on Twitter: They somehow managed to prosper economically without allowing in millions of unvetted, unskilled immigrants. Weird, I thought that was impossible.

Poland is saving money by not having to demolish the statues of its previous heroes just because Hostile Culturally-Aggressive Colonizers demand it.

Meanwhile, in Wales:

Another billionaire has fled California to escape the coming tax on all assets, including unsold stock and property. (Usually we tax things when a dollar value is "realized" -- made real -- through a sale; this new scheme to seize the means of production would require you to estimate what your assets might be worth and pay a tax on them every year. That shouldn't lead to people going to jail; just ask Trump, who got hit with a half-billion dollar civil penalty for over-estimating the value of his assets in a private loan context.)

Billionaire Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick admits strategically moving to Texas before California wealth tax

Kalanick says Dec 18 move to Austin was timed 'prior to January' deadline for proposed billionaire tax
Billionaire and Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick officially joined the exodus from California, revealing he moved to Austin, Texas, just weeks before a proposed wealth tax could have targeted his estimated $3.6 billion fortune.
"Just to be clear, on December 18, I moved to Texas. I don't know what's so specific about December 18, but let's just say it's prior to January," Kalanick said in an interview with TPBN.
"I get a little bit [of] FOMO on like, these people going to Florida. I'm like, dude! Why so much Florida action?" he continued. "Come on, homies."
Kalanick left his San Francisco home for Texas just 14 days before the new year, when the retroactive residency deadline for the proposed billionaire tax would take effect.

While it has not yet qualified for the November ballot, the proposal -- backed by the Service Employees International Union--United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) -- would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of California residents with more than $1 billion in wealth. The tax would be due in 2027, and taxpayers could spread payments over five years, with additional fees, according to the California Legislative Analyst's Office.
If the measure is approved by voters, anyone who was a California resident on Jan. 1, 2026, would owe the tax, according to the proposal. Based on Forbes' estimates, Kalanick could owe roughly $180 million.

And now you get nothing. Eat it, Commie scum.

You people are such absolute fuck-ups. You'd have to ration sand in a desert.

OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."
"I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything."
"There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

LOL, the woman who locked everyone inside their homes for two years thinks she's a "nice governor" and that people should want to live under her evil reign of malicious incompetence.

Rand Paul is a sniveling little narcissist, grilling DHS Secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin on the... mean things he said about Rand Paul.

Are you kidding me, you ridiculous tiny Napoleon-complexed manlet?

Now Paul is on the edge of having a point here, as he claims that Markwayne Mullin voted to not stop welfare programs for refugees.

But he moves off that point to whine about Mullin having said that he understood why Paul's liberal neighbor beat up the annoying, self-righteous Libertarian Leprechaun.

"Instead of explaining your vote to continue these welfare programs for refugees, you decide to transfer the blame. You told the media that I was a 'freaking snake' and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted," Paul said in his opening remarks. "I was shocked it would justify and celebrate this violent assault that caused me so much pain and my family so much pain."
He added, "I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force."
You chose to lash out at me. You went on to brag that you'd already told me to my face that you completely understood and approved of the assault. Well, that's a lie. You got a chance today. You can either continue to lie, or you can correct the record," Paul continued. "You have never had the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified, so today you'll have your chance. Today, I'll give you that chance to clear the record. Tell it to my face, if that's what you believe. Tell it to me today. Tell the world why you believe I deserve to be assaulted from behind. Have six ribs broken and a damaged lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it."

You simpering little fairy. Now I want to beat the shit out of you, too.

This is a grown man whining not about being beaten up ten years ago, but whining that another man wasn't sufficiently sorrowful that he'd gotten beaten up. He's like the pussy still whining in tenth grade that in third grade he'd gotten a wedgie.

Maybe it's time for another wedgie.

Note Paul does not demand he answer as to why he cast the vote he did. No, it's all about appeasing the light-loafered malignant dwarf's feelings.

And he's doing the fake tough-guy thing of saying "tell it to my face" in a building with 100 people present including security and tv cameras.

Why don't you try the "tell it to my face" act alone, outside, in a private little spot?

You ridiculous little bitch!

why dont we just destroy the mona lisa while we're at it too

if they really want equality you dont destroy these statues, you erect new ones of minority figures who were also notable in history and have them stand along them

but no, the real goal is invasion, genocide and annihilation of them white folks

then utopia will truly be achieved, you know like they did in Wakanda

109 I'll say it again, if you take out the "but with black people" Sinners was a middling to low-rated vampire movie.

I'd put it below Dracula 2000--that, at least, explored their interesting plot point of Dracula being Judas.

Sinners did have an interesting plot point, that of the Cherokee being vampire hunters.
But a good story wasn't near as important as "muh DEI."
Another tired iteration of "southerners are racists" but with vampires.

125 Oh funny thing with Thunderbolts...I was watching is on a plane trip and since the plot was boring - a bunch of characters talking about other characters I didn't care about - I fast forwarded to see the fight scenes.

There was one ok-ish fight scene. In the whole "superhero" movie.

The reveal is that the hero has, uh, depression? And so when he becomes a supervillain you have to talk him out of it? That's...a terrible terrible idea.

126 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."
_________________________

I can't believe this is an actual quote. Paying exhorbinant taxes is "patriotic", and not hiding the fact that she needs those taxes to provide "GENEROUS social programs"?

IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT TO BE GENEROUS....regardless of how you define the term.

I'm not even convinced that it is the role of government to provide social programs in any fashion. And, even if it were a facet of government, is would not be GENEROUS. It would be in the form of assistance. And, I have a problem with that capacity as well.

133 >>>The reveal is that the hero has, uh, depression? And so when he becomes a supervillain you have to talk him out of it? That's...a terrible terrible idea.

It reminds me of a kind of horror movie I hate, and I can tell it's going to be *that kind* of horror movie halfway through. It's when there's a supernatural force of enormous power and the movie has spent no time establishing lore about how to defeat it.

That means, every single time, the supernatural force of enormous power will be defeated by "holding hands and remembering how much we love each other." Or other gay means of Emotional Battery. As seen in It, for example.

Sentry, being an ultra-superpowered enemy, must of course be defeated by holding hands with him and thinking about the friends we made along the way.

California Bridge to Nowhere Remains Unfinished, Now Costs $114 Million

Every time I see a dead critter by the highway I wonder: Why can't we build gently-sloping pedestrian bridges, topped with grass and bushes, for wildlife to cross over safely? It's not just good for them; people crash their cars due to deer all the time.

Well, a government filled with left-wing fuck-up grifters is why.

In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke ground on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), a project featuring an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California.
At the ceremony, Newsom boasted that the state had committed $54 million. He promised to "complete the job within another $10 million," before seeming to hedge on whether that final sum would do the trick.
Officials projected a 2025 completion date for the overpass, and estimated that the entire project -- which includes the bridge and other ancillary developments -- would cost $92 million, some of it coming from private philanthropists.
...
Pratt, a cougar-sweater-wearing environmental activist who serves on WAWC's Partner Leadership Team, is the program's public face. She is also a regional executive director of the national Wildlife Federation. In 2021, the group received a $25 million grant from "Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation" for the bridge that bears the late philanthropist's name.
That money apparently was not enough. This past January, donning a hard hat and a "#SAVELACOUGARS" jersey, Pratt announced a possible $21 million overage. She effectively blamed President Trump, attributing the multimillion-dollar overrun to "tariffs, inflation, [and] labor problems."
"There's no boondoggle," she said. "Given the times we're living in," a potential $21 million overage is "not that bad."

Over $100 million for a bridge which only needs to bear the weight of, checks notes, skunks and the occasional herd of deer. Oh, and six inches of dirt, maybe.

This is not an overpass for vehicles. It does not need to bear the weight of multiton trucks driving at 75mph. The engineering needed here is pretty forgiving.

But still, they can't finish it for less than $114 million.

And if you think that will be the final bill, I've got a Butterfly Bridge to sell you.

(Yes, the bridge must also serve as a path for butterflies. Think of the additional engineering requirements to bear the weight of several dozen butterflies.)

How can you degenerates literally be bad at everything?

Here's how: They're all taking a piece.

...
Why has a project primarily consisting of a bridge for animals cost over $100 million? One reason is that Newsom and WAWC's philanthropic supporters apparently don't mind it becoming a patronage program.As the WAWC-endorsing Wildlife Crossing Fund notes, citing the California Department of Transportation's estimate, "for every $1 billion spent" on wildlife crossings, "13,000 jobs are created."
A group of experts apparently adds to the operation's expense. A fungi whiz, Pratt says, worked as a WAWC habitat designer, periodically scrutinizing root samples under a microscope. A contracted soil scientist said his process involves assessing local dirt to "rebuild it ... as close to nature as possible."

1, that's a scam, 2, you build a slope, a bridge, put some dirt on it, and it's done. It's close enough to nature. We just want animals crossing here, not attempting to build animal cities.

By the way: I think any path covered in dirt would be "closer to nature" than the highway it spans, no?

...
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Newsom envisioned WAWC as a catalyst for the construction of wildlife crossings across the state. California, he boasted, set aside $105 million "to replicate projects like this all up and down the state." Pratt reportedly thinks "hundreds more crossings are needed."

Here's the thing: their own incompetence and greed keeps them from accomplishing any of the things they claim to want to accomplish. If they'd built this... bike path with dirt for something reasonable like $15 million, then yeah, this would serve as a model for building additional bridges.

But at a cost of $114 million and climbing for one incomplete bridge? No. You have once again fucked everything up for everyone, including the animals.

But you'll all still get paid, right? That's the important thing.

62 I see a lot of critter bridges in my travels in the Rocky Mountain West. They are far more modest by comparison, and in addition to the bridge itself, there is a system of high fences to further coax the critters to the bridge. They are always over high traffic roads where known migration routes exist. Does not eliminate roadkill, but I believe it certainly cuts it down pretty effectively. And the fences even have ramps that allow the critter out, but not in. Do not underestimate the derpiness of a mule deer.

Within reasonable geographic distances, yes. But we’re talking about a huge highway and one bridge.

Some predators are smarter and might figure it out, although with predators on the bridge the prey animals will avoid it like the plague. Which will be a huge problem: if the paths become a game trail — which they will, because predators are smart — then the prey animals will avoid the path and cross into traffic.

So yes, I agree with you in theory, but I think in practice even a fully functions bridge — untainted by the smelly slimy taint of CA commie smegma — won’t save wildlife in any meaningful numbers.

119 The first real "wildlife bridge" was in NJ, Down by Newark. Or Elizabeth.

It was a hangover from the effort to end the interstate highway program. It may not have been Newark, maybe Secaucus -- some smelly city SW on NYC. Can you imagine what kind of wildlife we are talking about there?

The bridge was completed in the 80s. That meant they could finish the highway below, which was thwarted from crossing some refuge for rats and hobos.

So there was an attack, parry, counterthrust, ... going on. Left said "Sorry, can't build there!" and finally the sane people said "OK, we make bridge for your fucking rats."

Now CA says "Fine, make a bridge, but first you will blow me (and pay me $100 million dollars.")

127 I'm familiar with that area. Just up the road from this bridge is the Liberty Canyon underpass which is a known pathway for wildlife to cross. Which leads them into an open space. So there was really no need for this boondoggle. Also, just up the road from me are deer jumping ramps along the 101 in Santa Margarita. The ramps are just giant piles of dirt to the height of the fences along the 101 so that if deer come onto the highway, they can go up the dirt ramps to get over the fence.

From a commenter on the story in the NYP:
-------------------------------
It is well documented that the mountain lions used the Liberty Canyon underpass along with many other animals. Mountain lions & their tracks have been observed at the Calabasas landfill property for decades. Liberty Canyon leads directly to the edge of the landfill & into the Chesebro open space. Mountain lions do not need a $100mil bridge.

Now it is a gay party drug called "poppers," but it was apparently a rock & roll thing back in the day. Well, they said "amyl nitrate" at the time, but now Brave AI says that it is "unsafe" for human consumption and should absolutely not be confused with the recreational drug "amyl nitrite," so what am I to believe? Maybe they meant what they said, and they were in fact doing the "harmful" one they said they were doing.

See for example Anita Pallenberg, who introduced the Rolling Stones to amyl nitrate in 1965, and Richard "Didymus" Washington, who played marimbas on "Sweet Black Angel" but was originally listed as Amyl Nitrate in the credits of their 1972 album Exile on Main St.

This is a common misunderstanding. Prey species often have eyes built for defense - they have limited stereo vision and so it is not centered in the eye. That means it has poor resolution. For best resolution, they look with one eye off to side, that is why birds often look at you sideways to see if you are a threat. Problem is that fast moving things only seem to slowly get larger and they do not do well at detecting motion.

If you have good stereo vision, with eyes close together pointing in same direction, you can see the item and see it moving. The tradeoff is limited field of view. Pheasants, deer, etc. will stand in road and stare at oncoming vehicle with one eye. They think standing still makes them harder to see, and while staring to see if it moves, they can not detect it moving straight in. It's not stupidity, it is eyes poorly suited to the threat

206 Also, the bridge was built specifically for mountain lions. Note that it's been documented that there are only a couple dozen mountain lions living in that area.

From a commenter on the story in the NYP:
-------------------------------
It is well documented that the mountain lions used the Liberty Canyon underpass along with many other animals. Mountain lions & their tracks have been observed at the Calabasas landfill property for decades. Liberty Canyon leads directly to the edge of the landfill & into the Chesebro open space. Mountain lions do not need a $100mil bridge.
Posted by: beckster at March 18, 2026 06:14 PM (I7J9

Lions need a huge territory. The young ones get driven out or killed by the older males. That area is already overpopulated, truthfully they shouldn't be there. There is not enough space for them, California is retarded. As a state Cal has way too many lions, they are constantly in the news eating someone or their pets.

Think the highway is a bit cut into the hill already, and they probably thought digging under was not going to work well. The one uncomplete side there looks like not a lot of room for a gentle slope. But the hills are very steep anyway in the area.

228 Its a boondoggle. Colorado, hardly a bastion of great financial stewardship buit an overpass over I-25 for 15 million.

from google AI. "The $15 million I-25 Greenland Wildlife Overpass in Douglas County, Colorado, completed in December 2025, is North America's largest wildlife overpass. Located near Larkspur between Castle Rock and Monument, this 209-by-200-foot bridge connects 39,000 acres of habitat across a busy interstate. It aims to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 90% and aids elk, pronghorn, bear, and deer migration.

I think that one cost extra after the fact because Polis didn't correctly purchase the private land for it, so a landowner sued and got some sum for their property that was used. But saying they can't build a wildlife overpass for only 100+ million is bullshit

From Wikipedia:

"The original project consisted of 24 mi (39 km) of open unlined canal, 37 mi (60 km) of lined open canal, 97 mi (156 km) of covered concrete conduit, 43 mi (69 km) of concrete tunnels, 12.00 mi (19.31 km) steel siphons, 120 mi (190 km) of railroad track, two hydroelectric plants, three cement plants, 170 mi (270 km) of power lines, 240 mi (390 km) of telephone line, 500 mi (800 km) of roads and was later expanded with the construction of the Mono Extension and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct."

Shock! Left-Wing "Civil Rights" Icon and Democrat Hero Cesar Chavez Was a Child Molester and Rapist

Of course. Of course.

The evidence was staring us in the face:

He died 33 years ago -- in 1993 -- so the Pravda Media is now dusting off the archives and reporting what they knew decades ago but suppressed until it was safe to do so.

John Sexton, who quotes the Soviet Archivist NYT:

As predicted yesterday, the story about Cesar Chavez sexually abusing young girls was published today by the NY Times. The paper spoke to multiple women including one who claims she was abused repeatedly when Chavez was 45 and she was 13-years-old.

Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office.
He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. "Don't tell anyone," he told her afterward. "They'd get jealous."
The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.
Recently, more than 50 years later, Ms. Murguia learned that a street near her home in the Central California city of Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed. City officials want to name it in honor of her abuser.
A second woman described similar abuse which began when she was 12-years-old.

Ms. Rojas said she was 12 when Mr. Chavez first touched her inappropriately, groping her breasts in the same office where he'd meet with Ms. Murguia. When Ms. Rojas was 15, he arranged to have her stay at a motel during a weekslong march through California, she said, and had sexual intercourse with her -- rape, under state law, because she was not old enough to consent.

And he didn't just sexually abuse and rape children, he also abused his adult female staffers and partners. See the link for that.

Sexton notes that "allegations and rumors" about this sex predator have swirled for years, but gosh darn it, the story just wasn't ready until 33 years after he died without any apologies or reckoning.

When I became President, I proudly placed a bust of C�sar Ch�vez in the Oval to serve as a reminder of the values he embodied, the vision of freedom he fought for, and his commitment to justice and dignity that we must uphold each and every day.

Happy C�sar Ch�vez Day. pic.twitter.com/GNKtjLTsq6
— President Biden Archived (@POTUS46Archive) March 31, 2023

The rumors that a major piece was coming were swirling since yesterday. Joel Pollack guessed, correctly, that given they were pre-canceling Chavez without any debate, the story must be "Epstein-level bad."

It's worse, actually. Epstein did not rape a 12 year old.

JOEL! That�s it! I was wondering why this stuff was coming up more than 20 years after Chavez died and you have hit on it: EPSTEIN! All the talk about the Epstein scandal stirred this up! https://t.co/IJYzcA7Nz3
— The Patriarch Tree (@PatriarchTree) March 18, 2026

Update:

In California there are 7 streets, avenues, boulevards, and parkways named after C�sar Ch�vez. There a 7 parks and plazas, 42 schools, and 5 monuments.

39 Honestly this does not surprise me.

As activist heroes go, Chavez is not a bad one. He opposed illegal immigration, and was less nutso leftist than most.

But yeah, not a shock. Partly male feminists are almost all scuzzy predators, but partly the guy was around 50 years go, and it wasn't quite as horrible and shunned back then. We've talked about the music from back then quite a bit.

98 Amyl nitrate, aka Locker Room & Rush

Alkyl nitrites are both inhalants and vasodilators.1 Breathing the vapours widens the blood vessels in the body, relaxing muscles and lowering blood pressure.1

They have effects similar to both stimulants (increased heart rate) and depressants (low blood pressure, slowed breathing), but don’t belong to either drug class.1

There was a guy from downstate Michigan enrolled at college in the mid-70s who was in solid with the United Farm Workers -- had the garb, the buttons, the patter -- all of it down pat. We nicknamed him "Gunzie" (as a mockery of "Gonzales").

He carried around a bottle of hot sauce / salsa that he put on practically everything that was served in the cafeteria. No doubt he swooned when Shrillary revealed that she was a fellow traveler along that gustatory path.

Trump really needs to rename that ship as USS Oliver Sipple, a true American Hero, Vietnam War USMC combat vet who also happened to be gay. Saved President Ford's life when Sara Jane Moore tried to assassinate Ford, beating the Secret Service to the punch. Milk outed him as gay to columnist Herb Caen without Sipple's permission because Milk wanted a gay hero, to counter the public perception of gay men as pedophiles. This, despite the fact that Sipple was a personal friend.

The affair ruined Sipple's life and Sipple died destitute before the age of 50.

Milk was an unrepentant piece of shit.

172 In Santa Barbara we have a “Calle Cesar Chavez” that cost business Peres millions when they changed it and taxpayer hundreds of thousands. Can’t wait to start the campaign to get it changed back to Punta Gorda. This is really going to upset our awful AWFL Karens.

180 There are Cesar Chavez streets and buildings all over the US and now decades later his accuser is sickened by one more street being named. Not buying it.

If its like some stuff, people have been crying foul for years but Saint Cesar Chavez may not be questioned by mere mortals. I mean, kids were complaining about guys like Richard Donner for a long, long time but Hollywood police just ignored them.

I think that Chavez being anti-illegal-immigrant, on behalf of unionized field workers who were US citizens, has made him a problematic figure for the Left for a long time. Makes it easier to flush him now.

I read a long time ago that Chavez liked his bling. Expensive watches and so on. Maybe the people relating the bling stories had heard about his other hobby, but felt that alluding to his greed and vanity was as much as they could say at that time.

One time I asked a Chicano cartoonist/activist by e-mail about Chavez not liking illegals. (Chavez was long gone, the activist guy was celebrating Chavez week or something with his comic.) He responded that he was personal friends with Chavez's surviving family. Notably, he did not address what I'd asked him about.

Posted by: banana Dream - sounds pretty gay at March 18, 2026 04:59 PM (z7/Fg)

Now it is a gay party drug called "poppers," but it was apparently a rock & roll thing back in the day. Well, they said "amyl nitrate" at the time, but now Brave AI says that it is "unsafe" for human consumption and should absolutely not be confused with the recreational drug "amyl nitrite," so what am I to believe? Maybe they meant what they said, and they were in fact doing the "harmful" one they said they were doing.

See for example Anita Pallenberg, who introduced the Rolling Stones to amyl nitrate in 1965, and Richard "Didymus" Washington, who played marimbas on "Sweet Black Angel" but was originally listed as Amyl Nitrate in the credits of their 1972 album Exile on Main St.
