The Morning Report — 6/ 16 /26
Good morning kids. Once again we'll focus in on tyranny both at home and abroad but perhaps not in the places we expect, or sadly in places we are not necessarily surprised if not disgusted by. And away we go...
Newly obtained memos show that the US Department of Justice (DOJ), under former [so-called quote-unquote]These are parents that spoke up about transsexualism and the homosexual perversion as well as other anti-AMerican propaganda in the curriculum being forced on their children. Ironically, had it not been for the lockdown where parents could see in real-time how their kids were being brainwashed and abused, perhaps they might not have known what the hell was going on in the schools that their tax dollars fund. So for the crime against humanity of them raising their voices in protest, they were to be targeted for termination. I have reported in the very recent past about efforts in California for the state to forcibly remove children from their parents if the latter refuse to allow their children to have sex change mutilations.
president Joe Biden, targeted parents at school board meetings despite warnings from FBI officials and a sheriffs association. Just the News reports that the conservative nonprofit America First Legal (AFL) acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to an October 4, 2021 memorandum from former Attorney General Merrick Garland that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings. The Garland memorandum was released despite “some concern” by FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg. Additionally, the National Sheriffs’ Association stated that their sheriffs had “not heard any concerns about threats to local school boards.”
Besides parents, the Biden/Obama Junta also targeted Christians for termination, specifically but not exclusively those who dared hold prayer vigils outside of abortion abattoirs along with those who defied the lockdowns by holding religious services seemingly away from prying eyes. And we all know the fate that befell those who dared showed up to the Capitol on January 6th 2021 to legally and peacefully protest the stolen national election. Hundreds were hounded, persecuted and even imprisoned while having their lives destroyed, and in the cases of Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland taken and martyred And if they can't find a legitimate group to transmogrify into dangerous violent Nazis, they create the m out of whole cloth,moslty khaki in this case...
At least that’s what the Department of Justice’s superseding indictment against the SPLC alleges. The organization secretly paid informants to engage in the active promotion and funding of racist groups while denouncing and “fighting” the very same groups in public. The SPLC purportedly created fictitious entities to hide funding from their donors. The SPLC, for instance, is accused of bankrolling the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally, paying a leader nearly $300,000 to post racist messages, organize and even transport people to the infamous Charlottesville protest, where one person was killed. In another instance, a pair of white supremacists who approached the SPLC about leaving the Klan were encouraged to stay in the group and recruit new members. Given salaries, the two men were allegedly reimbursed for the costs of their activities, including those “incurred for cross-burning events, to include the wood and fuel used.” In the end, I’m not sure what the legal jeopardy there is in engaging in this brand of duplicitous activity, but it is without a doubt corrupt, fraudulent, immoral and bad for the country.With all of that to boil the blood, let's kick up the burner and turn it into live steam!
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, (R-SD,) said Monday that Senate Republicans are moving forward with plans to renew a key federal surveillance authority as a stand-alone measure, despite President Donald Trump’s insistence that it be tied to election legislation. Thune told reporters the Senate is working to revive Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expired over the weekend after Congress failed to extend it before a deadline. “We will try and move 702 as soon as we feel like we have the votes to do it,” Thune said. The Senate majority leader said lawmakers are counting votes and intend to bring the measure to the floor once sufficient support exists.Yes, completely unsurprising but again not exactly shocking. The duplicitousness of the GOP is even more disgusting than the naked tyranny and lust for absolute power of the Democrat/Left. Yes, let's give the latter the wherewithal to use and abuse an already corrupt intelligence and law enforcement apparatus that is supposed to defend our freedoms and security the legal cover and legitimacy to target ordinary citizens and groups as if they were threats to national security. Democrats in office as bitter experience has shown us will do exactly this and get away with it because the agencies in question are embedded with fellow travelers who seek the transmogrification of America as founded into yet another failed socialist state where they are in absolute charge, forever. Naturally, as President Trump has done, or attempted to do in fits and starts, is go after the people and groups that are the real threats to America as founded and we the people of We The People. For that of course he is literally Hitler that must be stopped by any and every means necessary. The Deep State under Brennan, Comey and Clapper have failed along with Malig-Nancy Pelosi in several failed Shampeachments. Of Course Hack Hakeem and the aforementioned will try yet again if we lose control of Congress in the midterms. GOD FORBID. Meh, with Republicans like Thune, we're screwed no matter what. The GOP has got be utterly demolished and a party that actually represents us and that recognizes the threat of Anti-American leftism/socialism and ISLAM and is willing to go to the mattresses to defeat them must rise from the ashes of the GOP if America is to reach 300, let alone 251...

- The Flynn Effect is a long-observed but unexplained finding in psychology that mean IQ even in developed nations has been rising by around 3 points per decade.
That's stopped. (Futurism)"What I am seeing in my classroom is no longer a hunch," Jagt writes. "There is a measurable, generational collapse in sustained reading and writing, and the academy is responding to it with improvisation and exhaustion rather than the structural overhaul it requires."
Note that this hasn't put a pause on graduations; more degrees are being handed out than ever before.
It's just putting a pause on learing.
Yeah, I went there.More flagrantly detrimental to learning, plenty more use the tech to generate entire essays and solve math problems - or, in a word, cheat. That many universities have partnered with tech companies to provide students with access to their shiny AI models has only served to rubber stamp and accelerate the tech's adoption in the classroom, marooning individual instructors to figure out how to work around AI on their own.
It seems the author went there too.
It appears the Flynn Effect faltered in the early 2000s. Before I get too smug about that, it seems to have dropped off in Australia by the 1980s.

- Swiss voters rejected a proposal that would have capped the country's population at 10 million. (The Guardian)
Interestingly, the group most in favour of this supremely idiotic move are those aged 35-49; with both younger and older adults more strongly opposed. Though no age group expressed more than tepid support.
- Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered the commencement speech at Stanford. (Nerds)
He barely mentioned AI.
He still got booed.
- Cybersecurity experts are protesting the US "ban" on Anthropic's security-focused Mythos and Fable models. (Tech Crunch)
A "ban" strongly favoured by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei right up until the minute he got what he asked for.
Access to Mythos was always restricted by Anthropic itself. Access to Fable is still open to any US citizen on US soil with a Claude account. (I had access for a couple of days.)
Update: Thanks to reader Defenestratus for prompting me to actually read the whiny self-serving glurge that Anthropic put out discussing the situation. Both models are now unavailable globally.
- Fox is buying Roku for $22 billion. (CNN)
Fox still exists? Oh, yeah, I guess it does.
- Samsung has slashed 42% off the price of its 2TB 990 Pro SSD, leaving it at only twice the price it was three months ago. (Tom's Hardware)
Truly, their generosity knows no bounds.
- AMD's Zen 6 desktop chips reportedly have no integrated GPU, but have an NPU in its place. (WCCFTech)
If true, this is retarded.
NPUs are largely useless for desktop systems, and with no integrated graphics, users will be required to purchase dedicated graphics cards, which are far more capable for AI computation than any NPU.
- The MSI Claw 8 EX AI is a gaming handheld that uses Intel's Panther Lake laptop chip with its advanced Arc B390 graphics. (Liliputing)
This is a mainstream laptop chip so these handhelds should be much cheaper than those using AMD's high-end Strix Halo.
Should be. Aren't. It starts at $1799.

That, and his line when he had stepped aboard a self-destructing Romulan ship via an alien transporter, and the commander snarls, "At least you will die with us!"
The Enterprise transporter snatches Picard away, and we hear him say, "Not, I think, today, Commander --"
Much as I love Kirk, Picard always struck me as an even more believable ship's captain.

That, and his more thoughtful analysis of the created Trek universe, The World of Star Trek, both came out in mid-1973. That was the year of the rebirth of Trek, when the fan-led conventions were starting.
In the latter book he mentioned the concept we saw realized in TNG, that the captain should stay aboard the ship and make decisions, and a small landing party of officers should visit the planet surfaces. "An aircraft carrier's captain does not take a plane up himself."

Trek had room for broad comedy like that as well as drama ("Charlie X") and high adventure ("Balance of Terror") in its format.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. had almost as much room for different stories. Unfortunately the two broad comedies they did involved plots with Robert Vaughn's Solo Watusi-ing with a gorilla, and David McCallum's Illya disguising himself as a Yeti. Not kidding.

It hurts my heart that she died alone outside and that I did not know she was close to going. Apart from being a little bit clingier than normal, there was really no sign of any impending crisis. After the man took her body away I just sat in My Den and howled like an animal.
She and her sister have been with me through 15 very tough years, and it's been we three all the way. She was a beautiful, elegant tabby with Crystal green eyes. And a sweet sweet nature

Beverly, they get attached to each other. My boyhood cat Rusty passed away at fourteen. The little tabby girl I'd brought home as a kitten when he was about ten, and had formed a strong bond with him, wandered all around the house for that next day, calling and clearly looking for him.

More than you ever wanted to know about the interstate highway system!
A man is driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?" The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound unlike anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." Distraught, the man is forced to leave. Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again. The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." The man says, "If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk." The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find these answers, you will have become a monk." The man sets about his task. After years of searching he returns as a gray-haired old man and knocks on the door of the monastery. A monk answers. He is taken before a gathering of all the monks. "In my quest to find what makes that beautiful sound, I travelled the earth and have found what you asked for: By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception." The monks replied, "Congratulations. You have become a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sacred sound." The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is beyond that door." The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, pearl and gold. Finally, they come to a door made of diamonds. The sound has become very clear and definite. The monks say, "This is the last key to the last door." The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind that door! With trembling hands, he unlocks the door, turns the knob, and slowly pushes the door open. Falling to his knees, he is utterly amazed to discover the source of that haunting and seductive sound… But, of course, I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

A question if we have any medical types familiar with the Zepbound Kwik Pen among us tonight.
The Dr. showed us how you twist the top of the pen to '1' to administer one dose of medicine. That was the first dose. Now it's time to administer the second weekly dose. The top of the pen is fully retracted back to zero. Do we twist the top back to '1' to administer one dose or do we go past '1' to '2' for the second dose?
I plan to take the pen to the pharmacy tomorrow and ask the same question but just wonder if anyone has first hand knowledge.
Thank you in advance.

The cost per lb to LEO of the Space Shuttle was about $30K. In the fully reusable Falcon configurations, Elon's cost is $300/lb. SpaceX charges $1200-$1400 per lb or so, more for expendable configurations. That's a factor of 1/100.
That number alone shows just what Elon has accomplished.

When it's all said and done, Elon will likely get the cost down to just $90/lb.
SpaceX alone has the majority, about 51% of all world launched per year. For American launches, it's about 82%. Elon launches more rockets, successfully, than everybody else in the world combined.

Yes, indeed. A Crew Dragon mission to the ISS costs about $140M. The payload cost there would work out to something like $10K/lb. Still about 1/3 of the STS. I think the SLS pushes $40K/lb.
The workhorse is unmanned, especially now, putting up satellites to do all sorts of useful things, civilian and military. Elon has turned that into basically a routine, cheap thing.

One of our most quoted quotes right now is from our three-year-old daughter when she was FaceTiming my parents after the death and burial of her big brother's dog, Jake.
"What happened to Jake?" my dad asked her.
"He dead," she said.
"He is??"
"an, said Dad" she added.
"He in da mud," she finished.
My mom said she wants those words on her tombstone: She dead. She gone. She in da mud.

The cost of the STS per launch, dividing the cost of the whole program over its lifetime by the number of launches comes out to $1.5B/launch. The marginal cost would work out to maybe $450 - $700M, something in that range.

Second, the op could not have been to make Keir Starmer look gay, since looking at him makes him look gay. Was it to make him look like a mean cheapskate, trifling with the affections and bank accounts of his lovers?
Third, does this mean that their Uniparty Establishment will stop demonizing the actual British right-wing, seeing them as the boogeyman behind everything, now that they know that's what the Russians want?
Fourth, if it took them this long for their intelligence service to figure it out, given that it was barely even hidden, that's a bad look. And if they figured it out sooner but kept it to themselves, how is that different from doing it themselves?

It wasn't the SF or Western, Moki. It was a noir short story. They liked it, but: "The piece has a confident noir voice, and the blackmail premise gives the story a strong period mystery hook. We also appreciated the way the plot brings together the stag-film secret, Charles Windom’s return, and the final reveal about Pansy’s motive.
That said, the story feels a bit too familiar in its private-eye setup. The atmosphere is enjoyable, but some of the character types and genre beats come across more as classic noir pastiche than something with a fresh enough edge for this issue."
So, I guess it was too on the nose. I can email it to you if you'd like to read it.

In the interstate highway system, spurs off the main interstate have a 1 in front. Like 184 going into Boise. It ends when you get downtown. Loops have 2 in front, or 4, depending on how friggin' huge the city is. Like 225 and 270 in Denver.

As Douglas Adams opined, The Universe is mind-boggingly big, if you traveled at top speed we are able to achieve for 100 years, you would be 0.064 light-years away from Earth.
Basically at the edge of the oort cloud and smack dab in the middle of a whole lot of nothing.
The closest star from earth is 4.25 light years away and you would have to travel for an additonal 6.5k years to reach it.

Any of you out there on the west coast might be able to catch a very young moon just over the horizon about right now. Record naked eye youngest moon seen is about 15 hours. It's about 25 hours old now (well, in elapsed time, and believe or not the age of the Moon is not exactly defined this way).
And this lunation, the time between successive new moon will be the shortest of the year. However, if you measure it from full Moon to full Moon, it will be longer, and maybe the longest this year. The Moon is a harsh orbital mistress.

That's how I wanted to start. Get something smallish, get our feet wet, get some experience. Problem is my wife is total opposite. She's go big or go home. So right from the jump I had to buy a larger truck which we paired with a brand new 30' camper. Then she started watching u-tube videos and buying every conceivable thing we MIGHT one day need. I bought two folding chairs with attached tables from Costco - 59.99 each.

Tehachapi Pass, East out of Bakersfield into the Desert, HUNDREDS of derelict windmills. Very few work at all... and why? California pays to put windmills IN, but nothing to help maintain them.... so when they run out of the oil you need to lubricate them? instead of expensive maintenance because there is little to no access to many of them (hills)... they would just take the government money to replace it.

And funny enough, most people don't know you need to CLEAN THEM OFF every few months. Here in Calif Central Valley, where it does not rain for months at a time, I need to hose them off about every 2 months.

Well, despite what the car owner told me, none of the brake adjuster screws had been altered. His eyewitness must have been smoking something. "Well, he sure ground the Hell out of something. Wheel on my bench grinder is all fucked up." Well, that's as may be, but the 4 adjusting screw assemblies for the brakes are all in factory condition, allowing for age. None seized up. No grind marks at. all. Needing a little lube, but otherwise perfect. But the previous "mechanic" had put two leading shoes on the left brake, and two trailing shoes on the right. Doh!
Anyway, I put the front drums (finned aluminum with iron liners, a Buick thing) in my brake lathe, and took a couple of light cuts to clean them up. Then stuck them in the cabinet and blasted the outside with glass bead to make them nice and clean and pretty. Because why have finned aluminum drums unless they are pretty? There are just enough slots in the wheels that you can see the, too.

She was always a mean spirited antagonistic narcissist who never missed an opportunity to mock me or rat me out to our parents. I've heard from her exactly 5 times in our adult lives and each time was bad news. The end was when she walked away from our parents just when they needed her the last years of their lives. She lived a mile away from them. I was across the country but she didn't lift a finger to help.

I hated that whole grunge era of music with the heat of 1000 suns. It was just sooo fucking depressing and was whiny shit. I never could put my finger on exactly what the attitude or belief system was. I was an old school metal guitar player. We practically used guitar cabinets as wall paper, the whole back line. Everything go louder than everything else. Drummers had huge drum sets. Double bass, 2 floor toms, 8 toms, cymbals out the wazoo. Bigger, badder. It was all about the thunder. It was an attitude, fucking viking. Then...this grunge thing comes around with this tiny dick syndrome. Lets use little amps, lets use small drum sets like the ones kids learn on, lets use pos guitars that people used to step over, etc. I don't know what the word is for that. I never could figure it out. It was a sign of things to come. No drive, no aspirations, just whine about shit. I don't know, I look around at these younger fucking retard leftists and somehow its connected. I just can't put my finger on it.

We've been doing the last-minute research on the ballot choices tomorrow. Some of the candidates, definitely feel like "none of the above" should be an option. The flyers these guys send out have too much brag of what they'll do but not how they'll do it, and too much sliming of their opponents.
TW Shannon for Lt Gov - first chance to vote for him since he was up against Lankford. His flyer says almost nothing about what he'll do, but from what I know, he's a good guy.
The one question on the ballot is raising the minimum wage, up to $15/hr over the next couple of years. Yow! I think they should have a place to fill in what the voter things minimium wage should be. I'd put $0.

It's connected. Godlessness and ingratitude. There was also an element that they were observing humanity rather than participating in it. What you were seeing was that they were bigger than the music. Bigger than their own creation.
Artists historically tended to create to see what they can make - like you said, aspirational. This was more like a bunch of namby pamby folk singers got ahold of the bigboy toys and wanted to wear them as a skin suit - but couldn't abide being outshined by the presence of their own creation. That's ego for you. Even envious of the thing they are making.

I need to put better lights in mine. Maybe something equivalent to 400 Watts worth of incandescent bulbs, but LED. You need a lot of light so as not to miss spots. I have a bunch of those LED light bars from one of those "corncob" LED high-bay lamps. Each needs 18 volts DC to run. I could mount six of them into the top cover of the cabinet, and build a power supply to run them. They do have plastic cover lenses.

About 3 days is about when I can ever see the Moon. I may have made the second day one time when that new Moon was very early relative to midnight.
Anyway, the record naked eye youngest Moon sighting is held by astronomer Stephen J. O'Meara, and 15 hours and 32 minutes old. He is renown for almost superhuman eyesight and observational skills. He set that moon sighting record in Hawaii, at high elevation, too, but it was naked eye.
He is also known for being the first to see Halley's Comet in 1985, and to determine the rotational period of Uranus.

I have a book here: "Lifting Shadows: The Authorized Biography of Dream Theater", in which the author said of the time that music that celebrated "depression as a lifestyle choice" was all the rage. I think that is part of the reason why I didn't get most of the grunge scene (though I did like some of it; emphasis, some). Also why I at that point got into more metal acts as well as prog acts and old school rock bands from the 60s and 70s.

There's that word...artists, and I think you nailed it. I always said beware of "artists". Every musician I ever knew who looked at themselves as artists was always fucking out there. Painters are artists, musicians are musicians. I knew a guitar player I was in a band with who was out there. He never improved his ability, but rather depended on his ego, where I developed brute ability. He's dead now, but a month before he died he said to me "you're a technician, I'm an artist". He indeed thought he was bigger than the music. You totally nailed it.

Oil doesn't "wear out". It gets contaminated by particles of carbon and combustion products when used in engines, and by metal particles when used in gears. Don't know for certain, but I would guess that wind turbines use fine-toothed planetary gears to speed up rotation to drive the generators. Chances are the oil used is closer to to ATF than it is to regular gear oil that was regularly used in manual transmissions.

There are two main problems-
1-the oil is way way up there, and that is not generally considered in the original design. A very expensive pain in any case
2-Nobody knows when to change the oil. Nobody goes to take a sample, and there are few records of the hours of use when gears are turning, normally only kilowatt production, which doesn't match with actual friction etc. or oil degradation. Also water gets in because they are up there in severe wind and rain.
So the oil gets changed at high cost according to highly inefficient estimates.
Which is probably good for the the secondary market you suggested.

Well, that's really a contamination issue. I used to buy "re-refined" motor oil, produced by the Hub Oil Company, located on Hubalta Road in Calgary. Basically, they filtered and distilled used motor oil, and put it in cans labeled "Lubie Lube". Worked fine in old cars that burned oil anyway. Was more clear than it was cloudy; had a slightly burned odor to it.

Even modern ports don't use large amounts of labor... now Cities just sit there, house large amounts of people, who all live off of supporting each other while using resources produced elsewhere.

Also: any science containing the word "science." There are no hypotheses, experiments, and theories in "climate science." There can't be because we don't have a spare Earth to run the tests on.
Also also: any field of study containing the word "studies."

Used to do that on purpose.
Drive Drive north until you get to the intersection where the old firehouse used to be before it was torn down and turn left and an immediate right is where the R&D building is.
You don't know where the old firehouse used to be?
Well, if you look right where it used to be you can see the new firehouse about a half mile further down that road. That is where you turn left...
Still not sure? OK, after driving North for miles the old firehouse is at the corner of the first stop sign you come to. Turn left there...
You'll know you are at the right place because the R&D Building says "R&D" in ten foot tall letters you can see from that first stop sign. It's right there. Really easy. You cannot miss it.
===
Next time I see them -
Was it easy to find?
Yup, right there where the old fire house was. Can't miss it.

I don't know what to call it, either, but it's the second time (at least) that it happened. The first "punk" bands were the same thing. Forget skillful play, forget compositional skill, just bash out the same three chords and sing somewhere within a half-step of where you should. (They have autotune for that now.)

I think so. It drove me nuts for decades. I kept seeing dots that could be connected but I wasn't sure. There were common threads but I couldn't find the thing that tied it all up. Artists always seem to have an overblown sense of worth, or self. They think, therefore you should give a shit. Uh, no, I don't give a shit what you have to say if its worthless, stupid, or delusional.

And funny enough, most people don't know you need to CLEAN THEM OFF every few months. Here in Calif Central Valley, where it does not rain for months at a time, I need to hose them off about every 2 months.
I see a 30% or more increase in production when I clean them off... vice when they are covered in bird shit and agriculture dust.

XCel Energy runs the "largest solar farm in Minnesota."
It's so far north that it runs at 6% of rated capacity in December. So low that it's not cost-effective to sweep off the panels if they get snowed on.
But hey, in July, they run at 60% rated capacity!
If it were twice as useful as it is, it would be a boondoggle.

Just reading about O'Meara's estimates of Uranus' rotation period. This has always been notoriously difficult, not much to see to gauge it by. He was able to see some clouds around 1981, and came up with two values over the course of his attempt, 16 and 16.4 hours.
When Voyager 2 flew by, they got a much more accurate measurement of 17 hours, 14 minutes. Today, refinements put it at 17h, 14m, 52s.

Yeah lighting always seems to be a problem. We got 2 spotlights in ours and it still could be brighter, but since the shop owner is a fucking pod he hasn't done anything. It actually broke down this week. The gun wore out and he bought a POS to replace it. I keep telling him it needs to have a bigger nozzle or else it won't have enough suction to pick up the beads. It works ok for anything that don't have paint, but since I had to do a set of cases that had old thick paint that was pealing the beader couldn't handle it. I want to bring the cases back to the virgin aluminum. We had to give the cases to our powder coater guy to blast and I'm still waiting for them. I should have brought them home and used my beader.

I'm guessing she is. I've never heard her express any politics-politics opinions in what I've listened to, but she's made some little snarky remarks and stuff that make me think she'd be a big lefty, and least of the traditional kind, before they decided men could be women and all that shit. Serious physicists and other hard science types could be big lefties, but they are generally grounded in reality and don't go for the woo-woo, crystal healing, Age of Aquarius type crap. At least in the past.
There's probably a lot who are just cowards and didn't want to risk the ire of the Woke lunatics, though.
Anyway, one "debunker type" I listen to sometimes as gone so far as to accuse Sabine of being a tool for fascist oligarchs, now. Which just struck me as insane as any of the shit he debunks.

Brass beads? My blaster has a ceramic nozzle, which I have never changed. I ran it today until the breaker in the box tripped. Lights plus shop vac to draw the dust out, I guess overtaxed it.

When dogs clearly have a favorite person. Cat "helps." This was me all day. I don't know what the problem was. I never woke up. A weird-looking goblin-dog was returned by a family because their own dog, a chihauhau, rejected it. But he's got a forever home now. Men rescue a kangaroo from a reservoir and the roo shakes their hands afterwards. Kind of. I think he's actually getting ready to punch them and the guy just grabs his paw so he doesn't. Band records a hardrock cover of "Dayman" from Always Sunny. Koala baby grabs on to a dog thinking it's a surrogate mom and I don't think the dog is cool with it. Rescue donkeys like being serenaded. Stray dog hides in a Dollar General until a man rescues her.

It's a lie. Read it again. Who is the source? "three diplomatic officials now confirm."
See what they're doing. "Oh, it's THREE sources. Wow, must be true then! They'd never make up THREE fake sources!"

The inclusion of that phrase only when Trump is talking is what killed legacy media. The old rule was you just let them talk, but places like Associated Press decided they would be "truth-tellers" but only ask one side for evidence.
And now they're all dying. Sad. Anyway...

I bet you didn't know this. The term "Yak" is ethnic slang for "white people". The term originates from the NOI (Nation of Islam). It's short for "Yakubian", and the NOI doctrine is this:

The Yakub stuff was on-and-off heard among some rappers in the 1990s but I'm pretty sure most blacks don't bother with it today. Especially since black (actual) Muslims have laughed NoI off the stage.
The only time I read about Yakub these days is on /pol/ where they find the lore... "kino". It's not on par with the Silmarillion but it's maybe on par with Warhammer 40000.

That seems to be what happened in this alternate universe. The Soviets and Americans came together and co-developed the technology needed to divert the asteroid from destroying the Earth. In the process they laid the foundation for a One World Government that eventually leads to exploration of the Solar System.
Among the peculiarities in the late twenty-first century are robots that are less capable than the machines we have now (in our world) because humans focused their efforts in making "superchimps" or "simps" instead of harnessing computational power to create AI.

I'm on my own tonight. Linda is not feeling well and is resting. It was hot all day, no rain.
The local utility co. came by and was outfitting all the apartments with new digital thermostats and improved flow tap/shower heads. So far so good. I happened to mention I had two cats, and one of the guys looked surprised. "I didn't smell nothin'!" Apparently I keep the place pretty clean.
My new Casio digital sport watch with a better night light arrived. I'm looking forward to using it for tomorrow's workout, though not to the workout itself, not in this hot weather.

I think the problem with that narrative is the word "rescue". The water came up how high? To his knees?
He wasn't rescued. He was captured. He would have been perfectly content to continue doing whatever he was doing until he was ready to leave. Which he would have done just fine without anyone's "help".
So, yeah, he would have liked to do some damage to his captors.

My late part-Coon red tabby, Arizona, knew three words: his name, the word "no," and the word "feed." Of which the third was clearly the most important. "No" he was aware of; he'd look at me when I said it; and then, half the time, he'd go on with whatever he was doing anyway.
All of my cats have known their names at least. Marie-Antoinette got her name later in life; she'd belonged to a woman who passed away, and the person who rescued her didn't know the original name and called her after the French queen. And Marie learned it and any part of it, including if someone said it on TV.

If the cost of living and of property (including property tax) is insanely high in the tax-free haven, the taxed territory might be the smarter choice -- if the taxes are average. Certainly a state which taxes Social Security would not be a good idea for a retiree.
I don't want to live where it's hot all year any more, either. Thus I am not considering TX, which I like otherwise, or FL.

Property tax is an issue in Texas whereas the state income tax wasn't much of an issue in some states if you were retired. And speaking of property tax, FL is trying to do an end around on Texas. Maybe that will get Texas to look at some options . My issue right now is I moved to a development with a MUD tax. I knew what I was getting into though.

I thought of Amarillo or Canyon City, near Palo Duro Canyon. All the houses I looked at on Realtor appeared pretty worn out.
Peronally I've always thought the portion of TX that extends westward to El Paso and south of the NM border should be called "the Panhandle." Panhandles are normally horizontal, while the block of TX that sticks up toward Oklahoma is not.

Fast forward to me at 20 working as diving instructor in PR. Our dive shop was in the Caribe Hilton Hotel. Pretty girl steps onto the beach. Jack, not being a complete fool, approaches pretty girl.

You have income tax, State and federal. Property tax on your home and land. Personal property tax in some States. Auto license and insurance. Gas tax. Cost of utilities, and need for them. Inheritance tax. It would be nice if there were some sort of comprehensive spreadsheet, into which you could plug your retirement income, and how many taxable items of personal property you own, any other important factors, and it would spit out which State would afford you the best standard of living for the least drain on your resources.

In '14 I road-tripped in my new-to-me Buick Regal, a shakedown cruise if you will, to Palo Duro Canyon. Stayed in Amarillo, saw the Cadillac Ranch on the old Route 66, and had dinner in the little college town, Canyon. Driving east to Palo Duro, you think you're heading out to nowhere, and you've missed the turn . . . until suddenly the Earth drops away on your right, and there's The Canyon. Impressive place.
Trivia: Georgia O'Keeffe taught art in Canyon a few years before she discovered Taos and northern NM.

Well, Alaska has no sales tax, except local to some municipalities, which charge about 2% max. We do have property tax, for real estate, which pays for schools. If your car is more than 15 years old, you don't pay for yearly or bi-yearly license fees, so that's free. No income tax. And we get the PFD, so that offsets most of the other taxes, except the property tax, which obviously exceeds it.
OTOH, everything costs more, including health care. Without good insurance, you are kinda fucked on health care. Very few doctors accept Medicare, so you will need private insurance, NOT Obamacare. Any number of my friends have moved to AZ to avoid those costs. Not ideal.
I grow all my own veggies, can and freeze most of it, and don't spend money on that. We catch salmon, smoke and can most of that, so...

It's very easy. Make a roux, add cheese of your choice, I use cheddar and gouda and some cream cheese, and some half&half, boil the mac but don't overcook, add to the melted cheese mixture and stir it up and then top it off with panko and BBQ rub of whatever strikes my fancy (and have on hand) soaked in melted butter.
Pop into the smoker for at least at hour at 225, I go longer cause I like it smokey, and presto smoked mac and cheese.

Ukranian Rent-Boys Who Set Fire to Keir Starmer's Property Were...
Paid by Russian Diplomat In Effort to Fake Up a "Far Right" Plot Against Him
So Keir Stermer wasn't a social acquaintance of the rent boys.
No, it was a Russian op designed to stir up trouble, arranged by a paymaster calling himself "EL" or "EL Money." I'm guessing Keir Starmer's government gladly accepted the hoax as a reason to target the "far right." "EL" has been identified, writes John Sexton.Today, the BBC claims it has identified EL. He's a 23-year-old Russian diplomat with close ties to the Kremlin.So this is the same "election rigging" effort Russia deployed in America in 2016, spending a couple hundred thousand in ads to both inflame the right against the left and to inflame the left against the right, by spending money to stoke anti-white rage, for example. The American media always, always forgets to mention that part when "reporting" on the Russian "interference" in the 2016 election. Based on my belief that Ukranian models were targeting him based on something personal like an argument over payment or failure to comply with blackmail demands, I falsely concluded that Keir Starmer must have been a patron of rent-boys, and thus a homosexual. I apologize for that false claim and withdraw it completely. It was an absurd conclusion to come to and I'm ashamed to have made it.Lyukshin allegedly set up a fake far-right group called Direct Action which was completely fabricated.
The handler EL, who directed Lavrynovych, offered Russian citizenship in return for other attacks and glorified President Vladimir Putin, messages the BBC has uncovered show. We have identified evidence suggesting that EL is a young Russian diplomat, schooled in information warfare by spies and propagandists, who is close to the highest levels of power in Moscow. His name is Evgeny Lyukshin. He is 23 and the son of a senior official...
The group sought to appear as an organic British creation. But we found that Direct Action was created online by Russian operatives to cause division among ordinary people in the UK. Messages sent in the group bore a Moscow timestamp, used Cyrillic letters, and placed pound signs at the end of numbers, rather than at the start - as in Russian...
But Lyukshin was plaing both sides. Before he invented Direct Action he also created an extremist Muslim group called Takbir Foundation.The foundation sought to recruit Muslims to spray-paint "sacred graffiti" in the UK. But its real goal was obvious: to inflame the far right with this vandalism. Telegram accounts that pretended to be those of devout Muslims later switched seamlessly to an aggressive anti-Islam agenda with Direct Action.

Just because they were ALSO paid to burn his houses down, does not mean they could not also happily accept money from Starmer to ALSO bang him up the squeek hole. That's just good business and time management.

It would have been the SVR (FSB does not operate outside the former Soviet Union); or GU (formerly GRU), military intelligence.
SVR is highly professional, GU less so. (GU was the organization behind the Novichok attack in England.)

Crashed right after takeoff. 8 souls reportedly. The bomber was at Edwards for running tests of an unspecified nature.
I do know that the B-52 is scheduled to be updated with new Rolls Royce engines that will extend its range and reduce pollutants from the original models. Plus are far easier to service as the originals have not been made for decades now.
I wonder if those tests had anything to do with that particular B-52.

He is universally disliked, even by his own party.
Most of Labour is counting on an election this Thursday to elect the man, Burnham, they want to replace him.
Polls have him winning because the Restore Britain candidate is siphoning votes from the Reform UK candidate (got the names correct this time) putting Burnham slightly ahead of Robert Kenyon (Reform). The Restore candidate is a business woman named Rebecca Shepherd who's polling around 8% but hopes are she'll do better than that.

The incidents are coming almost daily now.
Another incident was two foreign (looked Pakistani or Arab) code enforcement officers turning off their body cameras and threatening to beat some English man's ass. If that wasn't enough the office also threatened to get the police involved and they'd beat his ass, too.
Starmer's only recourse will be to make social media take more and more videos down that are making him, and the government, look bad.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom has snapped back at a Department of Justice probe into her and husband Governor Gavin Newsom.
California’s First Partner branded the move an attack on she and her family and moaned President Trump had “no boundaries” in his pursuit of them.
She said: “There are clearly no boundaries to what Donald Trump will do to get his way or to challenge those who get in his way.”
“This is not presidential behavior, and the Governor and I will continue to speak truth to power because the American people deserve so much more.”

The London Borough of Harrow wants you to know it's aware of a video that's gone viral on social media of two Muslim civil enforcement officers turning off their body cameras and threatening to rip a Brit's teeth out and more. Fortunately, the man was wearing Meta glasses with a built-in camera and caught the whole thing on video.
As one unzips his jacket, he adds: "I'm going to knock you the f**k out and rip your teeth out,"
"Come in to that alley right now and I'll show you what time it is," says one of the men.
"We're gonna make sure you can't work no more and earn no more, 'cos you're trying to butt in on our money," the second man continues.
"Bruv, do you know what I do to people like that? Come here now."
Not surprising really once they started hiring the imports to enforce the law.

That's the impression I got from Lotus Eaters who've sent people down to cover Makerfield.
They're also hoping a lot of people who rarely if ever vote because they like None of the Above are going to show up and vote Restore. It seems that's what happened in Great Yarmouth (Lowe's constituency) where Restore won 10 of 10 local council seats in the recent election.

Reform won't do anything about immigration. The Shadow Cabinet has ex-Tories who enabled it. Farage is a squish on immigration and always has been.

I'm still hoping Reform isn't a stalking horse for the Uniparty there because I like Farage from Brexit days but the implacable attacks on Restore worry me. Plus my "contacts" there seem all in on Restore.

A lot of defected Tories in Reform UK.
People are seeing the writing on the wall and coming to the conclusion that Reform will be a rebranded Conservative party and that any immigration reforms won't go far enough.
They want remigration of as many immigrants as possible and they're just seeing stated policies from Reform of less legal migration and deporting illegals.

It won't be pretty if they tried to do what's needed to be done.
Lowe and Restore might be able to if they could actually get their program initiated, but it'll be a long, hard, fight to even get elected, much less get the legislation passed and policies carried out.
Then they'd be fighting it like Trump is here with all the ICE protests, not to mention the occasional terrorist attack once the jihadis go all out.

"The secret US approval, which the sources said was granted about a month ago, dovetailed with Doha's interest in opening a direct channel of communication with Tehran, which began to tighten after the ceasefire. Qatar, fearing a renewed Iranian attack on its facilities after one of its gas installations was attacked during the war, sought to buy security quiet."
"Some of the payments were disguised as fees for tankers passing through Hormuz, and a broad credit line of up to $1 billion was also opened for the purchase of goods through Qatar."
meaning, that all the gazillions of oil that hit the market, that Trump talked about last week, were Qatari tankers that got released, for a credit line of a billion dollars ?

Well, if you think about it. To be a full blown Conservative includes personal responsibility, rugged individualism, and common sense. In a sense, we abhor a "strong and over reaching" government or nonsense regulations or rules.
These are not qualities that require a group of other people to understand. Conservatives are able to function without an apparatus justifying and rationalizing their actions. It's the nature of the beast. A far right group contradicts what the members would believe. That's always been an advantage for the Left.

This is why they played such games claiming that they could find no place to send the small boat people. Once they have that, they have no excuses. This is why they lean so heavy on EU and UN bullshit -- once they drop those non-laws ("international law" is like "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" of laws. they aren't laws.) they can do as they please.
So maybe there has to be a "bloody civil war" but once it starts and there is the political will, they can fix this.

The other points of contention are Iran's refusal to make a real, written commitment on enriched uranium, and Tehran's refusal to discuss the continuation of enrichment.

Reform is already doing it to some degree.
Lotus Eaters did a piece last week showing that Reform had changed their web site, overall design theme (colors & fonts, etc.) to more closely math Restore's site and design.
They are also talking tougher on immigration and deportations.
Reform & Restore getting together would be tough.
Farage and Lowe do not like each other in the least after Farage threw Lowe out of Reform by filing allegations with police accusing Lowe of making verbal threats of violence against Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf.
The police then raided Lowe's farm, even took his shotguns.
Then Lowe was kicked out of Reform.
All because Farage didn't like Lowe being popular on X and wanted no competition in the party.
I'm not sure if they'll work together anytime soon.

Gavin Newsom: Trump Is Investigating Me and My Wife Because He's Corrupt and Not Because I Shovel Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars of Taxpayer's Money to My Wife For Her "Businesses"
A refresher on the corrupt Ultra-Karen Jennifer Siebel Newsom:
Newly released IRS filings reveal that First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and her production company, Girls Club LLC, have collectively received more than $3.7 million over the past decade from The Representation Project--the nonprofit she founded in 2011 to combat gender stereotypes through films and advocacy. According to a detailed Daily Mail investigation published today, Siebel Newsom draws an annual salary of $150,000 as Chief Creative Officer, while Girls Club LLC receives another $150,000 yearly for licensing her documentaries Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In, for which the LLC holds the copyrights. In the fiscal year ending March 2024, the organization reported roughly $1.7 million in gross receipts, with executive compensation--including payments to Siebel Newsom, her LLC, Executive Director Caroline Heldman ($150,000), and CFO Debra Garber ($131,942)--totaling $581,942, a figure critics call disproportionately high for a charity of its size. Over 13 years, these combined payouts represent up to one-third of the nonprofit's annual revenue in some periods. Neither the Newsoms nor The Representation Project responded to requests for comment. This development intensifies long-standing scrutiny of financial flows tied to the Newsom family, including behested payments--donations solicited by Governor Gavin Newsom to third-party organizations, often nonprofits or causes aligned with administration priorities. Such payments, while legal, must be disclosed under California's Political Reform Act to guard against pay-to-play arrangements.And now the man diverting millions to his wife's grifter organization says he's being investigated for no reason at all you guys:
Gavin NewsomJen Van Laar:
@GavinNewsom
Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump's hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one. He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President. He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history. We have nothing to hide. Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. The country is watching.
Townhall's Cameron Arcand reports that there are multiple investigations, that they started in California, not Washington, D.C., stemming from whistleblower complaints, and that they have to do with Jennifer Siebel Newsom's taxes and with Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson. According to multiple years of tax returns reviewed by RedState, Gavin and Jennifer Newsom file taxes jointly, so if the investigation has to do with taxes, it has to do with both of them.

Inflation comes when the dollar loses value like when Biden printed money like a drunken sailor. What we have now is a commodity (Oil) that has risen which affects the price of fuel. When oil drops to $45/Barrel then there will be no more price increases. Inflation will drop to 2%.
It will take about 60 days, but it will drop from the Oil Glut on the market. Trump has thought this out to time with the Midterms.
Californica is the exception because of all the regulations, taxes, and fees per gallon. Gas could drop to $1 everywhere else in the US and Californica gas still would be $5/gallon.

We e been talking about gender stereotypes since the 60's. Aren't most people sick of this by now?!!. We've gone so far down the absurdist rabbit hole that NY is wanting to refer to gestating parent and non gestating parent instead of mother and fathet And as far as the homeless just another grift about solving the problem. Eventually they'll get it fixed. Suuuuuure.

They should look into this as well. I don't care that she was barely 8yrs old, why was she driving a golf cart, which I believe require keys? Where were her parents, eh? Her sister was "hiding" behind her and she put the golf cart in reverse. Ooopsie!
She also probably pulled wings off of butterflies and hurt puppies. They could uncover a lot as who in their right mind would marry Gavin?
Our own sweet grandson tried to run over his sister as a joke two years ago in his battery jeep. He was five yrs old and she was 3yrs. While that would not have killed her there would have been wounds and screaming by her and me.

Why would anyone stand there and watch? He'd already be maimed and bleeding out before he got to the plant if I was in the room. Either an ambulance or coroner van would then arrive after I left him to call 911 himself with his nose (because both hands would be involved in slowing down the bleeding).
Which, as I have stated before, I may be blonde but I would not be stupid enough to go to that pig's hotel room, much less not run if he opened the door in his room.

The Barack Obama Presidential Center will not house the official physical presidential records; instead, it will feature the first fully digitized presidential library, with all records accessible online. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) retains legal and physical custody of the approximately 30 million pages of paper documents, 1.5 billion pages of born-digital records, and 30,000–35,000 physical artifacts, storing them at a secure NARA facility in College Park, Maryland.

This is just what allegations are that Harvey did at Cannes
1998: Model Zoe Brock stated Weinstein disrobed and demanded a massage while naked in a hotel room; she locked herself in the bathroom as he chased her.
2003: Model Valeria Panagrosso alleged Weinstein entered her cabin on a yacht during the festival, pushed her onto a bed, and attempted to grope her.
2006: Actor Emma Loman filed a lawsuit claiming Weinstein lured her to a hotel suite under professional pretenses before overpowering and raping her.
2013: Actress Daryl Hannah alleged Weinstein tried to force his way into her hotel room and repeatedly harassed her during the promotion of Kill Bill.

NARA maintains and provides access to these records using a modern, digital-first model:
Approximately 30 million pages of unclassified textual records and 1.5 billion pages of "born digital" records are housed and actively digitized at NARA's Chicago-area facility.
All classified materials are maintained separately at a secure NARA facility in the Washington, D.C. area.
Instead of traditional on-site research rooms, NARA is digitizing these materials to make them available virtually through the Digital Research Room and the National Archives Catalog.

Needledicked Nazi Once Mocked a Teen's Suicide Attempt
Pussy Hustler continues showing he's a New Democrat Man.
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner appeared to cruelly mock a teen's suicide attempt in a newly resurfaced Reddit post. The May 2012 Reddit thread begins with a photo of a teenage girl hanging out of an upper-story window, with a young man gripping her arms in an apparent attempt to save her, screenshots of the post showed. "A girl at my old highschool [sic] tried jumping from a window because her cousin died the day before," the post's caption read. These students saved her. I have hope." An account belonging to the Nazi-tattoo sporting Maine Senate candidate wasn't sympathetic. "Someone clearly isn't trying hard enough," a commenter using the name P-Hustle -- Platner's screen name on the platform -- wrote in response.Some might say that this is just "edgy" Reddit "humor." I'd respond that many of us have been harassed, censored, debanked, or even fired for similar edgy humor, so why does the National Socialist Shrimpdick get a pass?
In another newly-unearthed Reddit post, Platner -- who had an account on the messaging app Kik which featured a half-naked photo of himself -- joked about expressing his gratitude for porn stars in military fashion. "Thank you for your cervix," he posted in 2021 in response to a user who said that adult entertainers should be thanked for their service like veterans.Good Heavens, he really is made of Reddit "jokes" and sexual battery, isn't he? Yeah I know the allegations so far are about non-sexual battery committed against women, but I imagine the sexual assault allegations are being held until (I think) July 13th, when it will no longer be legal to replace him in the race.

Democrats didn't win all the tossups in 2018, by the way.
GCB shifts do not happen evenly across districts.
A couple of the toss up races listed are Trump+8. Those won't flip.
Nothing over Trump+5 will flip.
Everything we're seeing says that the makeup of the House will be a majority of between 1-5 either direction.

GOP won 2 senate seats in 2018 with a D+9 national environment.
Senate races are weird. Turnout tends to reflect partisan makeup of the state overall because the senate races drive up turnout overall, eliminating turnout differential advantages (midterms just seen out of power parties do better, not even Obama's people could reverse it). There are also candidate quality issues that play harder here.
Where are the Senate races of note?
OH? Deep red state. AK? Deep red state. TX? Deep red state. FL? Deep red state.
ME? Long term incumbent who is actually pretty popular. Bet on Collins.
GA? Went to Trump in 2024, plus DOJ focus on Fulton County.
MI? If El-Sayed wins the primary...expect fun.
NC? Last time Cooper won statewide, there were 400,000 more registered Dems than GOP. Now? 10,000 more GOP than Dems. He only won by 250,000 last time. And senate races tend to be more purely partisan without incumbents (think MD and Larry Hogan in 24).

Actually, he seems quite different than Hasan. They're both commies though.
Hasan is deeply insecure. Almost all of his actions and ticks are explained by it.
Platner has the opposite problem. He has the brazen confidence of the retard. He has done all this shit and figures, Yolo and just is going to try to brazen it out.
Platner wouldnt be a good candidate to go over the top against entrenched machine guns. More likely he would stay behind and make jokes about the guys who did.

The time bomb is how much Democrat voter fraud might be revealed and stopped in November. Just Scotus, which is likely to do os, forbidding counting votes past election day is likely to kill a couple of Dem House and perhaps even Senate victories. We also do not know what the effect of eliminating illegals/dead voters or discouraging them that are still on the rolls from voting will do.
And events including the economy are more likely to be positive for Trump and the GOP than negative going forward for the next five months or so.
Frankly I see more downsides for the Dems than upsides in the next few months, worse if the teen takeover chimpouts keep occurring and some Dems are frogmarched into criminal courts for voter fraud or Russia Russia. It also appears that the obverse of 2010 is in action--the Dems are picking the oddball DSA types while teh GOP candidates are by and large normal pols.

It's a known phenomenon called response bias.
Progressives just tend to stay on the phone will pollsters more outside of election season.
It's why the races always "tighten" or "shift right" the closer we get to the election. It's not that the electorate suddenly moves 5-10 points to the right. It's that the response bias issue gets sorted out by conservatives just talking to pollsters more.

That is because Mitch's scheme to sell GOP votes out to Schumer only works with tight margins in the Senate like 52-48 etc. And I think Cassidy and Cornyn losing plus others retiring like Mitch, Daines, Lummus, Ernst, etc. leaves less for Thune to work with going forward plus is a powerful discouragement to take on Trump going forward. Revenge votes will only take you so far before it starts hurting your future lobbyist career for the likes of Tillis, Cornyn, and Cassidy.
And that leaves Murcow's ass hanging in the wind in 2028 if Alaska gets rid of Ranked Choice Voting this election.

Apparently things are going sideways in Iran right now.
The Iranians see the agreement as a surrender now that they know what the real deal is.
Do the Iranian people see it that way, or just the IRGC?
Posted by: Archimedes
I think everything will be garbled for awhile. The IRGC kept the internet off in Iran for along time but they finally relaxed a bit for their regime supporters. That means that the regime supporters can see online what the US is claiming and comparing it with their esteemed leaders. Cat among the pigeons that is.

Democrats kept control of the House in 2022, and also didn’t lose a single senate seat.
It’s not impossible that the GOP manages to keep control, despite some Republicans trying their hardest to make it happen.

Because of redistricting, the R need only 2 of the toss-ups to hold the House.

This is it, the USA is at absolute rock bottom.
as a Canadian, what do the Republicans need to do to crash hard? In the span of a month, our right-wing party went from guaranteed super majority to massive loss, mainly because the leader was supporting Trump.
FOX News needs to stop churning propaganda and start reporting actual news and facts. If that doesn't happen then all the morons that watch it have no idea what is really happening in the country.
In 2010 GOP had a 7 point advantage that turned into a 67 House seat majority.
cherry picked point. 2018 is when we really became polarized and liberals hated trump more than independents did. Turnout was also crazy. After racist Republican gerrymandering, +5% Dem is nothing.
The Epstein class has already decided that what comes next is Newsom v Vance.

Perhaps, Platner is unlikely to have an upside surprise but highly likely to have a downside.
But, if you want to play the game on House seats, look at the normal vote, funds raised, candidate experience, whether they represented part of the district as a state rep or senator, and whether the seat is open or not.
It is hard to get reliable media polls on house districts due to difficulty in actually getting a representative sampling of the district (see the Massie race as an example). The good private surveys are really expensive and usually treated as proprietary by the campaign consultants and only trotted out at times to get donor interest if flagging.
And most media polls other than Presidential races suck badly with random error accounting for actually getting numbers right and Kalshi, etc. are downstream of those polls so take any prediction market bullshit on individual races with a grain of salt until the last week or so.

Inflation is down since Biden but it's still higher than it should be.
2018, the economy was roaring and pretty perfect, yet people still kicked the GOP to the curb.

I'd bet after the next election there will be a Reform/Tory coalition, leaving Reform out, unless they need extra votes.
Reform has become the "safe alternative" to the Tories but, like most of Europe, they'll try the cordon sanitaire around Reform as the "Hard Right" party.

Inflation comes when the dollar loses value like when Biden printed money like a drunken sailor. What we have now is a commodity (Oil) that has risen which affects the price of fuel. When oil drops to $45/Barrel then there will be no more price increases. Inflation will drop to 2%.
It will take about 60 days, but it will drop from the Oil Glut on the market. Trump has thought this out to time with the Midterms.

This needs and astrick.
that year included:
- Trump hamstrung by the Russia Collusion "investigation" We forget how insane it was.
Like Schiff et al. nightly on the news saying some variation of "I have seen evidence that Trump was wittingly or unwittingly, an agent of Russia."
The news was wall-to-wall with how this was another Watergate and was sure to bring down any Republican associated with Trump.
This further killed any endorsement or campaigning by Trump.
- 50+ House incumbents declined to seek reelection.
Many of them were not just incumbents but senior members. The type that almost never lose, even in a wave election.
Several of those made their announcement late in the cycle, purposefully timed to prevent any meaningful R to build a campaign.

Mitch McConnell Hospitalized Again With "Undisclosed" Condition
These people just will not retire. Their egos are too big and their bank accounts are not yet big enough.
Sen. Mitch McConnell was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, according to a spokesperson. "Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care," the spokesperson said. ABC News has inquired about McConnell's condition and diagnosis but his team has not yet provided more information. This is the latest in a string of medical incidents that the 84-year-old senator has faced in recent years.So this is a possible problem. As you probably know, the governor of Kentucky is a Democrat, and would be able to appoint a Democrat replacement for this guy who should have retired 12 years ago. The Republican legislature passed a law that says the governor can only pick a replacement from a list submitted by the party of the incapacitated senator, but the governor says that goes against the state's constitution and hints that he will ignore that and appoint a Democrat.
The Kentucky state Legislature passed legislation on Thursday that would change how vacancies in the U.S. Senate are filled, over the objections of Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. The Republican-sponsored bill, which would require a special election to choose a senator in the case of an open seat in the unexpired term, passed with bipartisan support as the Legislature nears the end of its session. It passed both chambers with veto-proof majorities. It's a significant change from how the process currently works. A majority of states -- including Kentucky -- pick successors in vacant Senate seats by gubernatorial appointment. But there are some notable restrictions in the commonwealth: The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator's party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul's seats become vacant. McConnell last month announced he will not run for another term as GOP conference leader later this year. But he has vowed to serve out the rest of his term, which runs through 2027. Last year, the 82-year-old faced questions about his future after bouts of freezing in public, although Kentucky Republicans who sponsored the bill have insisted that it was not prompted by McConnell's health. But with the change, Kentucky Republicans now have a backup plan in case there is an opening for the longtime senator's seat before his term expires. Beshear has not hidden his disdain for the current arrangement. When the appointment rule was passed in 2021, he said it "improperly and unconstitutionally restricts the governor's power." He has also not explicitly committed to following it; when asked over the summer whether he would abide by the law should there be a vacancy, he refused to "speculate about something that hasn't happened and isn't going to happen."I'm not sure how to read the Kentucky Constitution on this point. I fear Bashear might in fact be right:
Vacancies in all offices for the State at large, or for districts larger than a county, shall be filled by appointment of the Governor; all other appointments shall be made as may be prescribed by law.I think "offices for the State at large" would include Senators, who are of course elected by the state at large, and that would be an office filled by the governor, as opposed to other offices, which will be filled as "prescribed by law." It's very basic law that a statute cannot modify a constitution, only a constituional amendment can. (Unless you're a Democrat pushing the constitution to the left/towards DEI, in which case practically anything can override the constitution.) He may be right that the legislature has no power to overrule the constitution if the constitution does indeed give this power to the governor alone. Thanks, Mitch! Give yourself a raise and take the rest of the week off, buddy.

My dad paid for his own funeral. While I did help him anyway I could, he didn't tax me.
My mother took care of her own arrangements as well. If you have the need, I highly recommend The Neptune Society. She made monthly payments to them for a while, then it was paid for. When she passed, I called an 800 number, told them where she was and they took care of everything. Got her back in a beautiful box 2 weeks later.
I appreciated that tremendously.

That does not explicitly include federal offices which are not spelled out or mentioned in the preceding constitutional text. That potentially shows intent to exclude such federal offices. Which is a good and likely challenge. Especially since it was written into law by the legislature that federal offices are subject to a different process. So when you compare the constitutional to the statutory it makes perfect sense.

The Blade would have at least offered a compelling reason to get a new one: the warranty. There are indeed a few older exotics I really like and would buy. But once they're out of factory warranty, you are taking a yuge risk. Blow a motor or even a tranny in one of these cars, you could be getting a bill for six figures or more. Extended warranty?

There are multiple references to "state officers" which I presume is something like Attorney General, but then it also references "State at large" which I suppose could include a US Senator. It also says all other appointments shall be made "as prescribed by law," so if a Senator is in the "all other appointments" category the law is legit.
At the same time, even if it is in the "State at large" category, the law does not change that Governor makes the appointment; it only narrows the authority, and I suspect the reason it passed veto proof and bipartisan is because if Dems ever win a Senate seat they won't want a GOP governor to be able to replace them with a Republican.

The law has always been of dubious constitutionality (regarding the KY constitution), and the governor has said repeatedly that he wouldn't follow it for that reason.
Seems like Mitch wanted to retire, didn't want to give the seat up to Democrats, got the state legislature to pass the law, then realized it didn't matter because the governor wouldn't follow it.
So, Mitch just held on.
Which might have benefited us because he could have chosen his successor if his plan had succeeded. Instead, we get Andy Barr who doesn't seem to be anything like a Mitch acolyte.

House Bill 622 passed in 2024 over the veto of Ky Gov. Beshears, has Mitch's seat filled by a special election.
That makes it much more complicated for Beshears to appoint because arguing that no special election should occur might not be viewed as compatible with saying an appointment should occur. The law provides that any Beshear's appt. only serves until the special election is held aka 56 days.
Link goes to KY legislature website and note this was passed over Beshear's veto.

While there are no age limits for surgeons, most stop between 60 and 65yrs.
Of course neither profession I mentioned are being paid the big bucks by chy na.

Despite Merrick Garland's Assurances, DOJ Officials and the National Sheriffs' Association Objected to His Targeting of Christian Conservative Parents
The Sheriffs were not aware of any "threats to school officials." That's because it was all invented, yet another hoax Moral Panic created by the left to justify endless warfare against its many, many, many enemies.
Biden DOJ targeted parents at school board meetings despite FBI, sheriffs' objections, memos show AFL said it acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to former Attorney General Merrick Garland's October 4, 2021 memorandum that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings during the COVID pandemic. By Nicholas Ballasy
Former President Joe Biden's Justice Department used federal law enforcement to target parents at school board meetings as potential threats "despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs' Association," according to America First Legal's analysis of new government documents it obtained. AFL, a conservative legal nonprofit, said it acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to former Attorney General Merrick Garland's October 4, 2021 memorandum that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings during the COVID pandemic. ... Some inside DOJ also fretted the strategy would boomerang, and create a political headache for elections, "I don't think it's possible to state how strongly I object to this. It will completely and totally nuke our election threats efforts, and will damage the reputation of the Public Integrity Section into the bargain," one top DOJ official wrote in an email. "It's like they've affirmatively trying to make this thing not work and look political." "If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force," an official wrote. The National Sheriffs' Association also shared concerns like those of the FBI, the memos show...
The FBI enforced the memo, AFL noted, establishing a new threat tag, "EDUOFFICIALS."

2. He could and should have pushed through the gate when he found himself in danger.
3. Once he starts trying to hop the curb, he pulls a bizarre turn maneuver that makes no sense.

Is he simply low IQ? Is he so deeply mired in a rule following mindset that pushing through the barrier is unthinkable? Does he think the barrier will cause so much damage to the vehicle that it's an unacceptable option?

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the US Department of Justice is investigating him and his family in an explosive social media post.
Newsom said that federal investigators are looking into the activities of the governor, his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and family members as an act of political retaliation as the leader of California weighs a run for president after terming out of office at the beginning of next year.
“In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees, not because they found a crime, because they’re simply trying to find one,” Newsom said in a video posted to X.
“They’re demanding records, they’re abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets, he’s coming after me because I’m considering running for president, because he hates that I’ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.”
Newsom accused President Trump of directing the DoJ to investigate him and his family in an act of alleged political retaliation.

Do you think that convicting Trump would have made a difference? The idiots would have still voted for him. The problem isn't Garland, it's Americans.
He's hiding somewhere living the high life thanks to the money he got from oligarchs for sinking trump's criminal cases.
Merrill was def a republican. Biden was an absolute fool for appointing him AG. IMO Kamala Harris should have been AG instead of VP. She would have been brilliant.
The important thing to understand about Merrick Garland is that he claims to be a religious Jew but is actually a radical Zionist.
He wouldn’t want to be perceived as potentially being slightly critical of Trump so therefore he’s taken a lifetime vow of cowardice. People need to make his life miserable.

🚨JUST IN: Was just on a media briefing call with a senior US officials who confirm the MOU with Iran has been signed and outlines the following from their POV:
"In general terms, the deal says if you're willing to behave like a normal country, we're willing to treat you like a normal country. It's performance based."
- Strait of Hormuz is open, but it will take a few weeks to get travel back to normal.
[AND just selected points]
- The nuclear talks are described as "technical" in terms of how to retrieve the enriched uranium.
- Stressed this is not "pay for play." They will not get access to markets or release of their funds just for showing up for a meeting.
- "We go in very clear-eyed" that Iran has been a bad faith actor in negotiations for 47 years: "Everything will be verified... all released assets and sanction relief is tied to milestones."
- The US will keep the current military force posture for now to make sure Iran "does what they say they're going to do." The deal contemplates a partial draw down upon the signing of the nuclear deal."

REVEALED: How shadowy unit of government 'thought police' set up by ex-MI6 agent is trying to keep a lid on Britain's simmering racial tensions
While the streets of Belfast were ablaze with anti-immigration protests last week, behind the scenes a group of spies, spinners and soldiers were deploying the 'dark arts' to try to defuse tensions.
The name of the secretive Government propaganda unit trying to manipulate events makes it sound like an innocuous back-office operation -- the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU.

Stephen Colbert asked Kamala why the Biden administration didn't release the goods on Trump and she gave this laughably fake answer about trusting or honoring the DOJ etc and Colbert didn't make the connection that he needed to get Garland on the show. AFAIK, no lefty has had the smarts to confront him yet.
But Garland at least has a seed of competence and non-ignorance in him. He knows damn well those files exonerate Trump.

'He's coming after my wife, Jen, a public servant, a woman who's dedicated her life to supporting women and girls, someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in,' the Governor says in the clip.

THAT’S WHAT LEFTIES DO: Nurse Bloomberg Is Destroying 3D Printing. “‘No person, firm, partnership, association, or corporation shall sell or deliver any three-dimensional printer in the state of New York unless such printer is equipped with blocking technology that is going to be able to tell if you’re printing a firearm or a firearm part.’ And the definition of 3D printer is so wide. Any machine capable of rendering a three-dimensional object from a digital design file using additive or subtractive manufacturing. This means that dental devices, construction devices, food devices, jewelry devices, all different types of CNC mills are going to be covered under this and they would have to have the spyware installed.”

It’s real.
The guys who threw her off the bridge ran for it as soon as the clip was over and the police eventually caught them.
Right before she is thrown over some of the people there were yelling that the rope wasn’t attached, which is when the camera pans down to the coiled cord on the bridge.
Seems they were far too excited carrying this girl and completely forgot about the cord, and/or they were drunk/high which is entirely possible as this wasn’t some professional setup.

Bitter Old Has-Beens Stage Counter-Event to WH UFC Show
The left is very angry that Trump "desecrated" the White House by staging a sporting event there. They say the White House lawn is sacred, and only for wholesome events like lurid transgender perverts exposing their fake breasts to children.
Yes, that happened under Biden. #pRiDe But a UFC event? That's ugly and perverse. The usual old crowd of Bitter Clingers staged a counter-concert, featuring an array of stars who made up a virtual Who's Who of Who's That?The very patriotic event featured dementia patient Robert DeNiro declaring that loving America is like loving the spouse who beats you -- in other words, he hates the country.
Jane Fonda Decries First Amendment Violations at Star-Studded Event: "It's Being Allowed by Cowardly Corporations" "Right now, the government and its cronies [are] routinely violating its First Amendment to silence artists," she said at Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment in New York. Jane Fonda gave a passionate speech defending the First Amendment on Sunday night at the star-studded Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment. The event, held at The Town Hall in New York, was organized by the Committee for the First Amendment, a group that originally formed in 1947 during the McCarthy era but was recently revived by Fonda.

I don't think this will go over well. Bette Midler watch party is too much like celebs singing Imagine during COVID. This feels bougie and out of touch. It doesn't even have the edge of, say, Rock Against Bush, but I don't think people are looking to No Kings for this kind of thing.
Edit: I just noticed the proceeds of this event go to The Committee for the First Amendment. Which is Jane Fonda and a bunch of other Hollywood elite. It's not even raising money for a serious cause. You're raising money for Aaron Sorkin for some reason.
The last No Kings I attended had a DJ throwing up songs like "Celebration" and "Funky Town." Tone deaf. This seems to be continuing that trend unfortunately.
Another parade to use up our energy, and frustrations instead of putting it towards actually fixing the problems, or even basic escalation so that way the government thinks twice before sending people to concentration camps. Enjoy your concert I guess...

I am not a UFC fan but, damn, did they put on a show.
It was the most patriotic, pro-American sporting event I've ever seen.
The only event more American and more patriotic would be an Independence Day rodeo in a small town.
The flyover was one of the most epic and badass things I've seen:
American air superiority roaring over the White House backdrop, dark storm clouds in the background, as the last notes of the National Anthem are sung.
American proud and pure American fun.
80k+ having the time of their lives.
And Democrats sitting at home in the dark complaining their cabbage tastes rotten.

Probably an old gay guy she met in a San Fran bathhouse. I do remember he was not much to look at when I paid attention.
Sometimes genes/DNA do not work out well. Look at Demi Moore's daughters. Both she and Bruce Willis should have produced attractive children. I guess it went haywire somehow. Maybe they were related and did not know.
No one tops the inbred King Charles II of Spain with the inbred issues. He could not close his mouth. Which could be Hillary Clinton's problem as well (look at Chelsea).

You shouldn't be. Biden hosted a drag queen event at the White House to elevate his supporters, and to demoralize the Right (and normies). This is the same. Every time you elevate something the Left hates, you win. When you put out decorations for American holidays, and fly an American flag, it pisses them off and signals to them that they are failing to destroy the culture, just like them flying the Fag Flag is symbol to demoralize you. If you don't shove American values and patriotism in their fucking smug faces, they're going to do it to you, and your children, through every media avenue they have.
God, I'm getting pissed just thinking about it...

Trump appears irritated with Macron and hoarse from the fights last night, from the UK DM.
This shows in the photo with Macron acting his usual ghey postillion self.
I liked this line from a body reader or whatever:
'Macron’s body language suggested a boyish desire to engage Trump,' she added.
I'm sure he'd like to brokeback mountain, as Startled Starmer is growing stale and fagged out. Mrs. Macron is there as well. Where is Candace?
President Trump would like to cage fight Macron at this point and beat him to a little pulp. I want to, anyway.
Starmer, yesterday I think, took credit for his "stance" on the Iran war. That man bores me into a comatose state as well as vast irritation. I'm not sure what the psych term for this is.

The polls in 2014 were directionally right but still outside the margin for error.
Polling Maine seems to be very difficult.
And I have yet to see any evidence that major pollsters have even attempted to fix the obvious issues over the past few years (first and foremost being response bias in Spring/Summer polls that show progressives far more willing to answer pollsters than conservatives).

They are more a tool of the Left to justify victories and close elections when in fact many times they got throttled in the actual vote. Polls (more and more) are used to provide the opportunity for blatant election fraud.
More and more, there are elections where candidates in reality win by a solid margin only to lose the election based on massive fraud, and polls are used to help hide that discrepency and create the opportunity to cheat without it being as obvious.

One class filled 50 seats just 2 minutes after opening enrollment. Only 2 students were real, per FOX

Daily Mail: A Former "Counter-Terrorism" Propagagnda Unit Headed by an MI-6 Spy Has Been Redirected to Run Nonstop Psyops Against the British Public to Convince Them to Accept Terrorism and Third-World Hyperviolence as Normal and Perfectly British
I think we already knew this, but social media is blowing up about it, so maybe we didn't. Or maybe it was alleged but now we have more information.
REVEALED: How shadowy unit of government 'thought police' set up by ex-MI6 agent is trying to keep a lid on Britain's simmering racial tensionsBut as the article states later, the RICU unit is very one-sided, focusing laser-like on the traditional elements of the British public for their "far-right" anger at murder and terrorism.
While the streets of Belfast were ablaze with anti-immigration protests last week, behind the scenes a group of spies, spinners and soldiers were deploying the 'dark arts' to try to defuse tensions. The name of the secretive Government propaganda unit trying to manipulate events makes it sound like an innocuous back-office operation -- the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU.
But the dull moniker is part of the deliberate camouflage of an outfit which uses deception and skulduggery to try to manage the 'challenges' of multiculturalism. Its techniques range from planting stories in the media, using undercover operatives to lay flowers at the scene of terrorist attacks and even, in one case, sending a pop group to sing anti-extremist songs in Muslim schools.
Obviously the US has something like this too, or at least did. I think -- I can't recall the name so I can't search for it-- the DOJ had some kind of "anti-bias unit" that rushed in to tell families of victims of terrorist or racial violence that they must call for peace and that the death must not be used to inflame passions. That sounds fine except this group obviously stands down and permits black radicals to inflame passions about alleged "racist" cop-killings and "nooses hanging from garage doors." We never see these radicals reciting government agitprop to "turn down the heat" and "remain calm." In fact, it's obvious that when a Muslim or black radical group wants to inflame passions against the majority, the entire media and government apparatus turns into a machine to inflame passions further and encourage and justify rioting and arson. I can't help but notice that the US form of this "Don't be angry, just accept it" Regime propaganda operation chooses to inflame passions when those passions might -- beyond the direct provocation of riots and arson -- help galavanize minority voters to vote Democratic. The Regime ops only seek to "turn down the temperature" when passions threaten to cause voters to turn against the Democrat/Socialist Regime. Also obviously: This unit is working hand-in-glove with UK censors working to censor Americans, and that's all made possible by US CIA operatives working with those foreign censors to do what they themselves are forbidden by law to do, which is to censor the American public themselves.
The 22-strong unit was established in 2007 by the late Charles Farr, a former MI6 officer, as part of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy. Modelled on the Information Research Department (IRD), a propaganda unit established by the Attlee government in 1948 to blacken the names of communists and other political opponents, RICU operates out of the Home Office's Westminster headquarters. While its original purpose was to monitor and challenge the spread of Al Qaeda propaganda and to vet the language used by public officials when describing terrorism, its tentacles now stretch far across Whitehall -- to the extent that critics say it risks strangling free speech. When the mobs took to the streets of Northern Ireland last week following the stabbing of Stephen Ogilvie, allegedly by Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum-seeker, RICU swung into action to advise the police in the province on how to 'control the narrative'. A source said: 'They are working with the Police Service of Northern Ireland's C3 intelligence unit to identify those posting the online 'calls to protest' in Belfast and other areas, as well as giving strategic messages to the police to ensure that the protesters were portrayed as unsympathetic thugs, rather than activists, and effecting behavioural change.' The source said that the unit had also been advising the police in Southampton following the horrific murder of Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa -- who falsely claimed he had been racially abused and had acted in self-defence -- saying: 'RICU made sure that the liaison team dealing with the family were well briefed.' It has also been claimed that the unit intervenes to write statements by the families of victims of potentially racially linked incidents to stop them from inflaming tensions further with their remarks. The source said: 'You can see their fingerprints all over the statements released by the families of victims in these volatile situations -- they usually have a similar tone.' However, RICU is regarded by many Whitehall insiders to be 'out of control', after last year putting its name to a Home Office recommendation that the police should record more 'non-crime hate incidents' -- the controversial, sub-criminal measures used to inhibit people from making reference to matters of race, religion, sexual orientation or disability. Ministers finally bowed to pressure by scrapping the measures, telling the police to stop recording everyday rows and online spats. The unit also claimed that the prevalence of sexual grooming gangs in Pakistani communities was being exploited by the far-Right to stir up hatred against Muslim communities. It has a long history of 'covertly engineering', in the words of one expert, 'the thoughts of people' at times of crisis, being quick to spring into action after terrorist incidents such as the London Bridge attacks in 2017. Eight people died when a van was driven into pedestrians on London Bridge and the three occupants ran to a nearby market and began stabbing people. In the immediate aftermath of the atrocity, RICU's undercover operatives handed out flowers in the area, with the aim of perpetuating an atmosphere of 'grief' rather than anti-Muslim 'anger'.
... RICU frequently uses social media in this way to infiltrate online conversations in 'target communities'. However, according to Sir William Shawcross, who published a review of Prevent in 2023, the unit seems more keen to target the far-Right than extreme Islamists. Sir William wrote: 'The bar for what RICU includes on Islamism looks to be relatively high, whereas the bar for what is included on the extreme Right-wing is comparably low.' By way of illustrating his point, in 2023 the unit identified viewing habits which it believed indicate that someone could be susceptible to far-Right views. These included Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys, The Thick Of It and Yes Minister, all on the BBC. Works by Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton were described as 'key texts' of interest to 'white nationalists/supremacists'. ... Security expert Professor Anthony Glees responded: 'The unit that produced this report is called RICU. 'It's based in the Home Office but it's in that kind of shadowy area between what the Home Office does and what the security service MI5 ought to be doing. Or what the special branch used to do before it was turned into the counter-terrorist police force.'

My biggest thing here is still: Let's step back and look at this. What do they hope to accomplish? They get everyone to simmer down and lay back and think of England. More immigrants come in who refuse to integrate and just see the native population like brigands look at peaceful farmers. Even more than refusing to integrate, what are they producing? They seem to be just taking in that sense rather than being productive members of society. What then?
You start eliminating plausible explanations more and more the deeper this goes and more evidence that these people are not functioning members of society.
The destruction of western civilization is getting real lonely as a plausible reason.

They had every narrative and story from the fake bs pre-digested DNC Hillary Campaign perspective. Every one. Meaning they were getting stories wrong every day over and over without repercussion or retreat. Never a fact, never anything about the truth other than filtered through a specific distorted lens.
But why? The election was going to be here. I get that we live in a smaller world due to the internet but why would you need to fully indoctrinate another country if you don't need their vote or to convince other people of anything?

The last effort to oust him died because he threatened to call a snap election. He just has to show up to the King and say that they need a new government.

There is an episode from the first season of the Dr Who reboot. The 'Are you my mummy?' gas mask kid episode. Set during WWII. Creepy. During the climax when the Doctor is saving everyone he yells out something about defeating the Germans and then also 'Don't forget the Welfare State!' and I thought, when first seeing it: yeah, destroy your entire society.

The primary approach was likely done through Censorship. I still stand by the belief that we in the US know more about what is going on in the UK than the residents there because the media they have access to is compromised by excessive censorship.
As everyone here knows, Biden's administration attemped the very same thing for different reasons. They even designated FBI, DOJ, and CIA personnel to act as liasons with social meadia outlets and participate in their operations....and were hired by those same media outlets AFTER getting terminated from their government jobs.

Starmer can keep them in line. He can threaten them back and they can't do anything about it. None of them value the country more than their own jobs. THEY LIKE what he is doing, they just think he is making them look bad.

=======
Leadership of the party is an inside party mechanism. They require x% of the MPs to sign onto a petition for a vote, and then there's the leadership vote which can switch out Starmer for someone else.
I keep hearing the excuse of, "they need the perfect candidate who has to win some special election" as the reason that 2 straight years of predictions for Starmer's ouster hasn't happened.
But, you know,...I remember the immigration riots from 2 years ago when people said it meant that Starmer couldn't keep his position as PM. And yet...moments keep passing to oust him with no actual effort to oust him.
All while he says he's going to stay and has, reportedly, threatened the party with a snap election (which he can call unilaterally with one meeting with the king).

Do they have One Person in particular to officially call for a vote? I don’t know their system.
Posted by: tubal
Motion of no confidence or losing a key vote that the government majority claims is such. There is also some internal way, I think via Party Conference IRRC. But Starmer successfully has delayed by promising to leave but only when a successor is selected--right now that is the by election in Manchester where Andy Burnham is on deck for Labour. If he loses, then Starmer might very well stay in due to lack of alternatives.
Starmer's supposed threat was to call a snap election if he is immediately in danger of being removed and all the Labour grandees are afraid they will lose their offices and majority if that happens--worse, perhaps, than the drubbing in municipal elections.
So like Biden after 2021, the ship of state drifts and the underlings keep doing shit that makes Labour more hated, but they cannot restrain themselves.

Kids will find a way just as the Chicoms found a way around the Great Firewall of China. And it makes Labour even less 'cool'. I think Labour are done for to be replaced by a Muslim centered Green party with white commies allowed for diversity and numbers. The more interesting dynamic is Tory/Reform/Restore as I don't think Nigel is aware that he might as well go to full deportation and removal rather than trying to please the press.
Party funding is opaque and that could be part of the reason but I think increasingly on the Right, people want a hard break with the policies of the past.

I mentioned that above. The Biden Administration had two DOJ / FBI reps pressuring social media to censor as well as highlight positions they wanted pushed. Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow of the FBI were acting under direction of the DOJ...and, also, reporting directly to the White House.
Rob Flaherty, Director of Digital Strategy was making threateing calls to all major social media outlets to keep certain viewpoints off the platform...and social media was only to willing to comply.
All three of these individuals were actually participating in planning and status meetings at all media outlets...but were eventually told by a Federal Judge that they overstepped (Murthy v. Missouri (originally filed as Missouri v. Biden)

Deportations are accelerating--double from last year (about 260k so far this year). Voluntary deportation estimates are reaching 3-3.5 million. Look for the cities where rent has suddenly dropped for a clue for this phenomenon and the immediate drop in school enrollments. A pivot to workplace raids is likely to turn up even more heat.

Democrats have lost every single budget fight with Trump because Trump actually uses the powers granted to him by Congress to redirect funding as he sees fit.
It would be wildly entertaining to see Jeffries orchestrate a shutdown with 219 Democrats in the House against a 53 seat majority GOP in the Senate and Trump willing to veto spending bills that added things like USAID (which he'd be able to staff and direct financing off if it were to come back, those staffers don't get auto-hired back and he could hire his own people).

Every day brings more and more crime and disorder by Labour's pet Muzzies and migrants that destroy whatever blather that Labour tries to shame native British with. Even to the ridiculous white AWFL on a BBC newscast claiming Brits have to give up their dogs because they make Muzzies sad and fearful of going into the countryside or Muzzies trying to ban bacon.

So, you have direct disavowels of the assertions from anonymous Iranian media accounts by named WH sources, and your response is to twist it into, "Somehow, the Iranian sources who assured me that the Gerald Ford was sunk are still right"?
What if, stay with me here, a six week bombing campaign and 2 month siege that dropped their trade by 93% had a massively negative effect on Iran's economy, the Treasury departments scooping up of outside Iran assets owned by Iranian officials depleted the personal wealths of those still alive and in control (leaving them with nothing but rials instead of dollars), and the damage to their wells and shadow fleet have made the leaders more desperate than Trump who's watching gas prices decline for weeks?

I don't think anyone really knows because it hinges on a bunch of individual actions far below what the media or even X puts out. There is a lot of tinder here and the illegals/refugees just keep throwing fuel on the fire by repeated anti social criminal actions. Like the stabbing in the throat of a 17 year old girl in Manchester.
Every day brings more and more crime and disorder by Labour's pet Muzzies and migrants that destroy whatever blather that Labour tries to shame native British with. Even to the ridiculous white AWFL on a BBC newscast claiming Brits have to give up their dogs because they make Muzzies sad and fearful of going into the countryside or Muzzies trying to ban bacon.
The throat slasher in N. Ireland was a former police officer apparently and came from a respectable family in Sudan and was educated in Saudi Arabia.

Lots of assertions about what Trump has agreed to, one of which is $12 billion just to get Iran to talk.
And it all feeds the idea that Trump is more desperate than Iran for a deal.
Which is facially stupid. Trump's dealing with declining oil prices from the high. Iran is dealing with losing its shadow fleet and 93% of all its trade (no the Caspain ports can't come close to replicating Bandar Abbas because the Caspian ports are tiny and don't connect to China anyway).
So, should any credence be given to assertions that the US is bending over backwards and giving Iran tons of stuff for nothing?
Of course not.
We won the war in a couple of days. We kept hitting them for weeks. We blockaded them for months. Trump doesn't care about regime change. Trump's stated goal is the threat of nukes gone and relations with Iran's neighbors normalized.

I think people harken back to WWII and the ACW with unconditional surrender and think that is how all wars usually end.
In truth, most wars in history are negotiated endings that leave a lot of people dissatisfied and a lot of what ifs.
We were never going invade Iran to promote regime change. That is not what Trump promised which is an Iran without nuclear material or the immediate capability of making them.
So, that leaves bombing and at some point, bombing simply just doesn't produce the results as less and less targets are easy hits militarily and the remainder involve more and more civilian casualties. So, that leaves destroying Kharg Island but the easy counter is Iran hosting a bunch of speed boat pirates attacking shipping in the Hormuz and crude mines set adrift from shorelines.
Bombing can take you only so far and is probably not sufficient to remove the regime nor prevent it from popping off missiles and making the straits unusable much.

The idea that the Trump administration doesn't know that the IRGC has a long history of lying about stuff is silly.

THE MORNING RANT: Hampton Prescott Returns to Discuss the Importance of Architecture for Urban Renewal
Hampton Prescott can be found on Twitter/X at @HamptonPrezcott [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]
In an age of sterile glass boxes, “Tetris Chic” monstrosities, and sprawling suburban monotony, many cities feel like they’ve lost their soul. New construction often worsens the problem: out-of-scale, soulless structures that prioritize short-term cost-cutting over enduring appeal. As I’ve noted before, the poor quality of contemporary architecture is an underrated driver of why urban spaces feel downtrodden. Lately, there’s growing lament in the discourse about the sterile, lifeless designs of restaurants, hotels, theme parks, and streetscapes. People crave vibrancy and a sense of being alive in a world where their senses are being dulled by overexposure to screens. This theory is further supported by studies consistently showing public preference for traditional/classical designs (often 70-84% in polls). A return to classical principles—proportion, hierarchy, human scale, ornamentation, and just plain grandeur—offers more than aesthetic redemption. It provides a practical pathway to urban renewal and a massive arbitrage opportunity for developers who recognize the shift in tastes. Postwar planning and modernist dogma treated cities as machines for efficiency rather than places for human flourishing. Tom Wolfe’s “From Bauhaus to our House” documents this superbly. Vast redevelopment schemes razed historic fabric for high-rises and highways, eroding the fine-grained, walkable streets and dignified buildings that once fostered community and pride. The result was predictable: ugly environments signal low value, deterring investment, accelerating blight, and inviting more utilitarian “solutions.” Classical and traditional architecture counters this cycle. Timeless forms—properly proportioned columns, balanced facades, rhythmic streetscapes, and human-scaled detailing—create places people want to linger in, invest in, and maintain across generations. Historic districts with classical or traditional character consistently show higher desirability, better upkeep, stronger property values, and greater resilience. This is illustrated by the Polo Bar in New York—the hardest reservation in town—and classic hotels like The Breakers in Palm Beach, which command $2,000+ a night. These lifestyle assets benefit tremendously - from a financial as well as a cultural perspective - from spaces that uplift rather than demoralize. To expand upon this point, restoring or emulating classical elements sparks broader renewal—increased foot traffic, tourism, private reinvestment, and community stewardship. Poor architecture fails Jane Jacobs’ “eyes on the street” test and erodes sense of place; context-ignoring modernist insertions often accelerate blight, even if it yielded its developer a healthy promote (though the end of QE has made this a much less frequent occurrence). The Real Estate industry, writ large, is desperately looking for a new business model after the interest rate shock of 2022. While the major allocators are tying their capital up in data centers, traditional developers are generally at a loss for next steps considering today’s landscape—rising costs, regulatory complexity, shifting demographics, hybrid work, and pent-up demand for authentic places. These headwinds indicate an opportunity for a new approach that strongly favors classical strategies benefitting from the following: 1. Premium Pricing & Resilience: Traditionally inspired buildings often deliver higher rents, sales prices, occupancy rates, and tenant retention. Buyers and residents pay for craftsmanship and timelessness that resist obsolescence. In volatile markets, these assets hold value far better than the ubiquitous “Tetris Chic” designs. 2. Incentives & Leverage: Historic tax credits, downtown revitalization grants, and area-wide programs reduce risk. Bundling rehab with sympathetic new classical infill can pencil out financially while unlocking public support and faster approvals (time is money, and as any developer can tell you, NIMBY resistance can quickly kill the profitability on a project.) 3. Demographic Tailwinds: Growing preference for walkable, family-friendly, high-quality environments (neither sterile high-density nor car-dependent sprawl) aligns perfectly with classical urbanism. The massive popularity of Seaside in 30A illustrates this and the late, great Robert AM Stern’s designs in New York routinely achieving the highest per square foot sales in the market makes this hard to ignore. 4. Long-Term Economics: Upfront investment in high quality, aesthetically pleasing construction will often yield lower maintenance, superior durability, and elevated market perception—improving ROI. 5. First-Mover Advantage: Momentum is building—from cultural discourse to policy shifts to select developer projects. Those who move now will benefit from immense pricing power in their developments. The growing family office sector, guided by smart incentives and conviction rather than overly-risk averse bureaucratic investment committees, can move faster and more effectively. These capital sources seem to be primely suited to capture this opportunity. In addition to the long-term compounding opportunities outlined above, being responsible for popular, new landmarks can serve as a massive halo effect (much needed in a world where economic populism is firmly on the rise). Classical architecture isn’t nostalgia—it’s proven urban technology refined over millennia. It restores dignity and desirability while delivering economic, social, and cultural returns. In an era skeptical of failed modernist experiments, the timing is exceptional. Developers who deliver beauty aligned with human nature will reap substantial arbitrage as markets reward places worth caring about. Build ugly and feed decline. Build beautifully and compound value for generations. The data, anecdotes, history, and shifting preferences all point the same direction. Invest in places worth caring about.

And I have never seen such a full-court, constant stream of hate and lies and denigration.

The point of doing this, of course, is that if you put restrictions on what under-16s can view on the internet, then you need to have a mechanism so people can prove that they are over 16.
In other words, the end of anonymity on the internet.

Cities used to be centers for retail goods, industry with its jobs, and trade. That part is defunct so the remaining jobs in finance, government, corporate hq, and service industries like hospitality are not enough to cause a revival of them. And until the public schools and crime are fixed, you won't get families with children returning.
American cities are dead in many ways because they concentrate dysfunction and rely on a few well heeled taxpayers within them plus statewide redistributions to keep going. Suburbs and exurbs have taken most of the new jobs and have better roads, less crime, and better schools even though aesthetes would mock their architecture and mores.

The reason why most office buildings are boxes is because that gives you the maximum square footage for your money. And when one office fail, you can move the next one in with minimal adjustment and expense.
That said, you can have any building of any size in any style you want, if you're willing to pay for it.

I have long held that we've gone way too far in the US in removing pressure to conform. You need a certain amount for society to function.
The two biggest problems the Japanese have are that they still aren't promoting childbirth quite hard enough, and that the institutional level they're too prone to hiding mistakes (though unlike, say, the Chinese they actually feel real shame about fucking up).

There are some exceptions to the rule because America is a big place but Democrats bring dysfunction wherever they are in charge of government. And if a place is functional, then they promptly have tried to dispatch illegals and refugees to destroy such places under Biden.

You may be correct. I don't travel near as much as I used to because of ill health. But I do know the 90's seemed far better than what we have today and more so the 80's.
Unchecked immigration under the end of Clinton, GWB, Obama, and Biden ruined it.

I get out plenty and have probably drawn a firearm more than the entire rest of the horde combined, aside from any working in law enforcement. And I have probably lived more places in the US than 95% of those here. I am intimately familiar with how our country is broken.
I stand by my words. There are no cities in the US over ~50k that aren't dysfunctional shitholes, whether openly or just under the surface, and they are that way because the gov't functionary class has made them that way.
I can think of a few cities that are trying, hard, but I think what would be required to actually clean up the best prospects would be running 10-15k people right out of the city entirely. Progs ruin everything.

The combination pairs FOX's live entertainment, news and sports portfolios — including The Tubi service, the NFL, MLB and FOX News Media — with the top television streaming platform in the U.S. by hours streamed, accelerating the company's expansion into connected TV advertising.

But that kind of city experience doesn't exist in the US anymore; if you want it, you're going to be on a plane for hours.

Singles often like it because of greater choice in the dating/sex market, same goes for people that like to dabble in drugs, homosexuals, etc. Ditto for creative types willing to live in crappy neighborhoods but congregate in clusters. These are people that feel out of place or judged in smaller cities/towns/or rural areas.
And for the very top crust that can afford to put their kids in ultra exclusive private schools, live in controlled access buildings or enclaves with guards, and like the arts scene plus rubbing elbows with others of their same social class, then cities can work. They are shielded from the day to day reality of such places.
And some cities work better than others like NYC, San Fran, etc. You don't see the same extolling of the virtues of living in downtown Birmingham AL for example or Cleveland to the extent you do of 'international' cities.

Perhaps. But adulthood has for a long time been modeled as dull, drab, devoid of joy, fun, whimsy, dreams, and imagination. To "grow up" is a form of self-annihilation. Soul-killing monochromes, mind-numbing repetition, and uninspired carbon-copies of carbon-copies of everything else without personality. Why does it have to be that way?

The trick to looking (relatively) young for movie stars appears to be-
1) Eternal exercise and proper dieting
2) Beginning early (30-ish?) start with itty-bitty plastic surgery modifications.
That seems to work much better than "OMG! I'm old now. Quick! I'm 68. Make me look 23 again!!!!"
3) Ozempic et al may be your friend if used early enough.
4) Know when to stop. Sooner or later you'll look like a freak if you keep going.

Have heard contractors would tell him "you can't build something that way" ie cantilevers that would fail.
Lautner built a cantilever driveway and proved it by parking loaded gravel along it's length till the inspectors begged him to stop.

Once rent control was abolished, living in Boston was the shnizz for a lot of years. I walked to Fenway, walked to the Garden, walked to work and my customers and of course walked to a huge variety of restaurants and bars. Walked by the museums too but those were mostly for smart people. And for those really long trips the T was cheap and available. Only time I drove was to the boat or the mountains.
Crime was something that happened other places. Never had any issues in the decades I lived in Boston. Cities aren't the problem. Leftists are the problem.

Compare this to Mr. Prescott's previous essay on the subject. The styles of the two essays are completely different (even the numbered list contains just a sentence or two for each point instead of a paragraph each). They do not seem to be written by the same writer.

Not a huge fan of the look but at least some of the box units look to have balconies, or open air places to access. But not all of them, and the unit in the 'classical' building seems to have none at all.

City Hall is a reclaimed 60's vintage department store. The courthouse is in the center of "old town" and mostly abandoned. It was going to be remodeled as a micro hotel and Bourbon bar, but much bitching canned that. The "hipster" area around it see's weekend night fights among the urban hipsters and the ghetto hipsters.

Even if you just want a box, you can still decorate the box. Ancient buildings were all boxy, with no steel framework invented to support stone or concrete. So they put pillars around them and painted them up.

If not, she and all her children will be slaughtered when the old sultan dies.
Royal inheritance in that culture consisted of having about fifty wives and two or three hundred kids. When the paterfamilias kicked off (sometimes with a little help) typically a war of all against all would ensue, until There Was Only One.

This was a big problem with the Ottomans/Islam.
Multiple wives and no set order of inheritance. It comes down to who can seize power.
The Europeans adopted monogamy and rigid inheritance rules to stop this sort of conflict on a ruler dying and it is one of the reasons that Europe surpassed Islam in the Middle Ages.

Rather like most animals in the wild, like lions. The Alpha male dies or is deposed, the first thing the successor does is hunt down all the previous Alpha's male progeny and slaughters them. Which triggers the females to all go into heat and it's a full-on Cat Orgy.

Yep. It's often assumed that this comes from Judeo-Christian religion, but in fact monogamy-by-law with fixed rules of inheritance came from Roman jurisprudence. Jews (and hence, early Christians) at the time of Jesus were polygamous (not required, but allowed). Paul introduced the monogamy thing, I believe. He was Jewish, of course, but heavily Romanized.

Looking it up, the name Rabbeinu Gershom is showing up among the Ashkenazim as slapping a herem on that shit. 11th century in the Christian era.
The Sephardic community over in Muslim Spain were still allowing it.
I suspect it was very rare for most Jews in Europe already though. As for the Bible, it plays a similar role as for slavery. It's "allowed" but the Bible stories quietly illustrate how much it sucks.

The “empty seats” photos are either before the game started or right after the 2nd half started when people are still getting food or using the bathroom.
And most of the “empty seats” shown are the VIP seats where there’s a longer type thing available for seat holders, with catered food and shit. Hmm I wonder if those people will be out of their seats every now and then enjoying the amenities?
All you have to do is look at prices on StubHub or SeatGeek and you’ll quickly realize demand is through the roof for seats.

The Weather Channel
@weatherchannel
UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

Assortative mating done by the upper class was the predominate reason--marriages were often matches done for money and the appropriate social level of the spouse, not for love. So you got Lady Chatterly's lover and on the other hand, ministers of government with mistresses.
The very wealthy and some of the upper class still more or less follow similar rules--e.g. Warren Buffet's wife recruited a mistress for him when she wanted to do her own thing (IIRC, art mebbe?). These couples stay together for finances, children, familiarity with each other, and compatible social statuses, not necessarily for love or sex.

It took me several years of playing high school varsity soccer to develop the proper patriotic hatred of kickball. Especially watching our star Brazilian exchange student flop on the ground trying to draw yellow cards for the opposing team.
I much prefer watching hockey. Virtually the same rules, except for adding in the requirement that the game must include fisticuffs for at least 30% of the playing time. And any player found to have all of his teeth is immediately DQ'd and the team sanctioned.

Colorado's governor is a buggerer. His partner in buttsecks is an animal rights fetishist. So they kidnap wolves from Canada and turn them loose in Colorado, because isn't that wonderful and just like a Disney movie?
But then, the wolves start acting all... wolfy. They do what comes naturally- namely, hunting, killing and eating cows and sheep. They then get labeled as 'bad' wolves, and are subsequently marked for death.
So Colorado, empowered by mostly Front Range voters, loves wolves so much that the state steals them from Canada and brings them here, to kill them.

I don’t get this mentality where you have to hate soccer because you like football. You can enjoy both, now laws against it. And most people do just that.

Honestly, I hate football almost as much as I hate Eurofag kickball. Because of what I find to be the really offensive use of warrior imagery in football. It's not the "field of battle", it's a fucking stadium. And they aren't "soldiers/warriors", they're big beefsteak millionaire athletes. Both are worthy of admiration on their own merits, but I hate it when the two are mixed together.

It's a classic NIMBY move. The ballot referendum was passed by a 50.9% to 49.1% margin, largely by Denver metro and Boulder votes, and was broadly opposed by the sheep and cattle rancher portion of the state. But 100% of the wolves are released west of the Continental Divide. And the Front Range news outlets throw up the panic headlines if one wolf pokes his GPS monitored nose east of the Divide.

The Morning Report — 6/ 15 /26
Good morning kids. So the big story of course is that hostilities have ended with Iran. The headlines wherever you turn are using the phrase PEACE DEAL between the US and Iran.
The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end their three-and-a-half-month-old war, President Trump announced Sunday evening. The Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world’s oil, is set to reopen on Friday when a deal is signed in Switzerland, officials said.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” The signing will launch a 60-day negotiating process to determine the fate of Iran’s nuclear program and the extent of sanctions relief, according to officials.. . The agreement has not been seen publicly, but the White House on Friday described to reporters five points that are in the deal:
--Iran will destroy its highly enriched uranium
--Tehran will pledge never to obtain a nuclear weapon
--Economic relief will come after those first two steps are completed
--The Strait of Hormuz will be open immediately upon signing
--Iran must stop funding terrorist groups including Hezbollah
A senior administration official said the economic relief would be released “around physical milestones, it’s built around action and it’s built around verification.”
On a positive note as news of the "deal" was announced. . .
Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell by around four percent to below $84 a barrel, the lowest price since March 5. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, fell by nearly five percent to below $81 a barrel. “With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” President Trump said Sunday evening. Stock futures tied to U.S. equities market climbed on the news.while this is all well and good, both politically and directly as this will be reflected at the gas pump in time for the crucial midterms. As I have stated since the conflict began, any deal that leaves this regime intact is an abject failure.
The Iranian state-controlled Mehr News Agency is trumpeting the deal as a complete victory for the Islamic Republic. It involves concession after concession from the U.S., and nothing whatsoever in the other direction. Mehr states the 14 provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding in this way: According to the source, the draft includes the following provisions:If you read all the points while understanding the nature of the Mullahs and the nature of ISLAM, this is merely strategic retreat in the 1500-year Islamic crusade for world domination. They know that all they have to do is wait out the next two years for Trump to exit the White House and that at best a Democrat will be elected and at worst, even if it's Vance or whomever, there will be a groundswell of opposition should that administration want to once again attack Iran once they inevitably resume their drive for nuclear weapons as well as continue to foment terrorism in the region and around the world, because gentle reader this is exactly what they are going to do. Elsewhere, congratulations to Elon Musk for becoming the first nrillionaire in history. naturally the Democrat Left are beside themselves dropping venom and doing everything they can to denigrate this accomplishment. whatever one thinks of Musk personally or otherwise, his achievement is a shining example of the American dream as well as the work ethic that made this nation great and has been the engine of progress that took us from out of the caves to landing on the moon and building the freest most prosperous society in human history. That is the real reason behind the venom and contempt. Like Islam, Democrat socialist leftists seek total control over everyone's life. Anything that deprives them of that must be destroyed.
1. Permanent and immediate end to war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
2. US commitment to non-interference in Iran’s internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran... 11. Release of $24 billion in Iran’s blocked funds during the 60-day final negotiation period, with half of that amount to be made available to Iran before negotiations begin. . .
. . . If this is even close to true, it’s the most breathtaking betrayal in American history (after Trump’s promises to the Iranian people), a new lease on life for the Islamic Republic, likely ensuring it remains in power for decades to come, and the most humiliating and unnecessary defeat in American history. Trump’s legacy will be surrender and the empowerment of America’s enemies, to an extent even worse than anything Barack Obama or Old Joe Biden did.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know by now that with SpaceX’s Initial Public Offering (IPO), Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire. The implications of this for all of us and our grandchildren are many and far-reaching. Of course, the left has found a way to narrow it all down to one simple idea: “His money is our money, or it should be.”Have a great day,
Envy is the lifeblood of leftist politics, and Musk is merely their latest, biggest, and most convenient target. But it’s worth being reminded that to the left, you are no different than Elon Musk. Let me explain. The left is miserable when you’re happy. It feels entitled to be the only source of your happiness, but it has no desire to make you happy. Rather, it simply wants to control how happy it will allow you to be.

Um, excuse me? How come "negotiating" is still going to go on (ridiculously, with a deadline) in the deal is done?
And Iran is going to "destroy" it's uranium? How do you destroy uranium? It's an element! How could we possibly trust them to even do it? And doesn't it have to be dug out of a blown-up mountain or two?
This doesn't smell right at all.

We're just unfreezing their assets, so no need for planes to carry cash - this is 2026!
And if we're relying on THEM to "destroy" the uranium, and trusting a pinky-swear to not pursue nukes, then that actually IS "a path to nuclear weapons".
So yeah, that's some billions of dollars to kick the can down the road again.
I don't really believe Trump will leave it at this. He has loftier ambitions, and much stronger cards in his hand.

Leftists think money is an enormous zero-sum game. A dollar that Musk has is a dollar that they don't.
As for the bushwa that Musk could solve world hunger with his money, how many trillions have the NGOs and nonprofits spent and not solved world hunger? And really, they don't want Musk's trillion to spend on world hunger, they want it to spend on themselves thinking about world hunger. Or just putting it in a big pile and burning it.

A lot of us also know that if boots were on the ground, in Iran, said boots CANNOT be under the insane RoE that governed GWOT missions.
That said, I'm not a fan of putting boots on the ground in Iran, but I want to see the regime come to its wicked end, at the hands of its people it has oppressed for so long.

Back when he was first elected, I recall reading an article/blog about how both Obama and Brennan thought that the solution to the ME was to replace America with Iran as the stabilizing superpower. Brennan has written a detailed paper about this (probably removed from the internet by now) a few years before Obama as elected. It demonstrated why Brennan would work well on Obama's team.
I think it's more accurate to say the first POTUS to negotiate with Iran on Iran's behalf, backed by a team of likeminded, pro-Iran staff, including Brennan, Jarrett, and Kerry.

Once US forces stand down and leave the area, that’s it. They’re not going back. There will be no fighting while a midterm election campaign is going on here. Obviously that’s what Iran counted on, so of course they would agree to a 60 day period.
At the end of 60 days, most likely they will say the enriched uranium is buried too deep, they can’t get it, so sad, too bad. And the US will say “look there’s a squirrel!”

We got the mullahs to lay off the public, but the IRGC beat us to Hormuz. Their bigger mistake, however, was pissing off every other country in the region. The US draws down its forces but the other ME countries there are going to have to pick up the slack.

Went to the local Twin Peaks and watched both. Stahl getting the Conn Smythe was a bit of a surprise, but I'll allow it. He was damn good in the finals.
The UFC thing was alright. The word went out that there was to be no grappling and manhugging in the bouts as they all thew plenty of punches. The last fight was good. The American won TKO because the other guy's face was destroyed. How he kept upright with all the head shots he took, I have no idea. He was getting pummeled, but stayed in and had chances to actually win the bout.

The ones that Hillary had picked for Bill.
So that every time Hillary saw Trump in the Oval Office, she would see her drapes.
And know that is as close as she will ever be to making decisions in the Oval Office.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
If true, that is absolutely savage and petty, and I love it. You know she noticed, and raged about it.
My only question is, why would they still have those drapes? Do they store all the drapes and other furnishings of every president? Why?

The YouTube "algorithm" sent out a vid of Anna Kendrick (alright I might have looked her up once 👀
in some Broadway thing at 13. Not AI, it was posted 10 years ago.
And she's gyrating on the stage with a bunch of women and men in women's underwear surrounding her and she's singing about being a "hussy".
And so I expected most of the comments to be "wtf is this gross shit" but no most were talking about "go Anna" and they liked how she said "hussy". There were like 10% that were mortified and a few saying they were "waiting for MAGA to come along and criticize it". Anyway that was the 1990's and I would assume she had parents. If I'm on the side that is criticizing that stuff then I am doing something right.

Choose your own strawman.
I consider it progress toward a new direction that doesn't involve sending my and many others' family members to the meat grinder for dubious goals of westernizing a backwards, dead end society of strongmen and goat-fucking tribesmen.
Whether that achieves laudable, stated goals is an open question. But declaring it a failure before it's even signed is just as retarded as declaring it an overwhelming success.
But ask yourself why people are requiring the admin which is attempting to negotiate a lasting peace for us and the region to come out and declare it doomed to failure before it's even signed, because it is something that they do not personally support, for reasons.
That's not just retarded. That's retarded to the retarded power and belies their obvious biases. So fucking tiresome.

we're gonna end up literally eating one or two of them, and the rest will come to heel. It's too much of a meme. There's gotta be dozens of people plotting their sides for their Musk Steak Dinner™, right now.
--------------------------
I will break the rules and do maths here to show how dumb the wealth takers are.
One Trillion dollars divided by 8 Billion people = $125. Yes, if Musk's wealth were confiscated, every man, woman, child and tranny on Earth would get $125. A one-time payment of $125. Yay, we'll all be rich! The Left says we'll only give Musk's wealth to people in the Third Word? Lets say 6 billion people are in the Third World. Each of them gets a whopping one-time payment of $167.67. Wow!
Of course, whatever amount of Musk's wealth is distributed to the down-trodden around the globe, governments will find ways to take some off the top.
Promising to make everyone's life better by seizing the wealth of the evil Oligarchs is a purely political play. So is reparations.

Do you think it should be run by the public before it's actually negotiated and signed? WE must approve first?
Sorry, but after all this time with Trump as President, I pretty much trust his better judgement and will roll with what he decided was a good deal for all involved.
The mullahs will likely be largely neutered, they won't get nukes and their people will not be slaughtered in the streets every day.
But, I haven't seen the deal, so I could be wrong. I'm not in the know. It doesn't bother me I'm not.

There is, however, a list of things the Iranians will do and a list of things we will do. I'm not even sure if there's an actual order to it, yet. Like, Iran does A... then we do B. Or whatever.
And that list of things to do hasn't been made official. Something like 60 days to amend, bitch about, strike, add whatever other issues need or want to be addressed.
If one of the first things agreed was to draw down our forces in the region I'm fairly certain there's a corresponding thing the Iranians have to do.
Or else.

I suspect that a large part of the reason for the deal is that-
the Iranians were finally convinced that they can run but they cannot hide. If Trump is forced to bring war back to them because of their intransigence, "they" as a group and individuals will most likely die.
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago,
if they Iranians "think in decades and hundreds of years, then in their minds they can still achieve victory by waiting out Trump and any successors until the next Democrat Presidency, who will sell the US and Israel down the river in a New york second.
Sidenote: The Iranian people have proven unable or unwilling as a group to successfully overthrow the mullahs/etc. That should not be a reason to delay this deal. Sad as that is.
Now, let's see what happens.

The agreement includes a long-term commitment that will ensure that Iran will never develop or obtain nuclear weapons.
The agreement deprives Iran of the financial resources needed to restore its nuclear program.."

Aussie tourist takes down a dindu:

Given that he's Australian, "enjoying himself" might well apply.
Some are criticizing him for the sucker punch under the impression that some kind of "fair fight" rules apply in a situation like this.
They don't. There's no referee standing ready to break things up. No ring-side judges to remove points. If the dindu got the Aussie on the ground, he and five of his buddies would happily put the boots to him.

Adeo Ressi, Mr. Musk’s college roommate at the University of Pennsylvania, said the SpaceX chief never cared as much about financial gain as obtaining resources to help him achieve his entrepreneurial goals. For Mr. Musk, “money is a means to an end,” Mr. Ressi said, comparing his friend’s mind-set to a gamer accumulating coins in a video game to beat a level.
“He’s amassing resources to do things, and the thing he wants to do most is colonize Mars,” Mr. Ressi said. “That’s a really big driving force behind his wealth accumulation.”
He added that Mr. Musk was “not a poster child of wealth inequality” and pointed to the tech leader’s lifestyle, in which he is known to work around the clock and avoid the typical trappings of the rich, like islands and megayachts.
“It’s not like he’s planning to leave this in a massive family trust,” Mr. Ressi said. “It’s literally going to be used to make humanity into a multiplanetary species.”

The wording was her family's choice. Bad choice.
(The Mirror) Schedeen's family revealed her death in a loving statement online, which celebrated her legacy and her hatred for American president Donald Trump. They posted a note to her Facebook page on the evening of 14 June to confirm the news.
The statement read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share Annie has passed peacefully. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of creative energy, whip smart humour, delight in her family, adoration for little dogs, burning hatred for Trump, passion for second-hand thrifting, and love for a good story. We are bereft without her. We loved her so so much, as did all who met her."

I'm up a little earlier than I planned -- no, Stirling is not to blame -- sipping my coffee and seriously contemplating taking a day off from my workout. It is 83 F. outside, and I made the mistake of looking up the heat index.
It's 93. At four a.m.
It will probably be no better tomorrow, except that we have a 60% chance of rain today; yesterday there was not a hint of rain. Maybe, maybe, the afternoon temps will not get as high today. (Gah.)

He sent in a $100 deposit last year.
He then jumps through some seriously amateur hour hoops on the web site trying to pay the rest of the cost once the phone was available. For instance; the 2FA code he needed to login to his account never came. He resorted to calling customer service to finally get his password reset and was able to login and pay.
The T1 is apparently a rebranded and slightly modified HTC phone from a few years back.
He gives a pretty straight forward review of the phone, without much overt political bias. He's impressed by some things, and disappointed by other aspects. For example; the fingerprint sensor seems to be broken, probably software related. He also does a teardown and compares it to the HTC phone he thinks it is.
The most impressive part of the phone, in his view, is the pretty decent screen, and 12GB of RAM.
I'd say this was made for 'over-29' Trump fans mostly.
Other than some kind of collectible or patriotic value, it doesn't have a lot of compelling reasons for buying one.

Who? Roy Hattersley was in Parliament from 1964-1997, a Labour MP, and was Prices Secretary (they had such a thing) under PM Callaghan (1976-1979), and deputy leader under Biden's speech writer, Neil Kinnock.
Created Lord Hattersley as soon as he left Parliament, I do believe.

OTOH, if we need Jesus Christ to be our chief executive to have a functioning republic, we would be cruising to failure.
I don't like that most of our Congress vermin are lawyers. I don't like that most of the house of representatives "represent" hundreds of thousands of humans (if not more) in each district. I don't like that, in our supposed republic, our states have no representation at the federal level. (Yeah, I think the 17th amendment was the wrong solution; MY 17th amendment would force each state to have the state government choose their senators since that was their fucking purpose.).

Trivia: The pilot for The Defenders, shown on one of the anthology shows of those days, featured Ralph Bellamy as the lawyer father, William Shatner as the lawyer son . . . and Steve McQueen as the kid they were defending in court. They should have kept Bill as the son; much better than Robert Reed. On the other hand, he would have garnered all the attention from Marshall when he was on screen.

I doubt it. It came out in 1987.
And no, it's not a cover of an older song. Well, not exactly... Roy Kehoe originally wrote it as a campfire singalong for the English Civil War re-enactment society The Sealed Knot (yes, really) around the mid-'80s to the tune of “The Music Man”, before The Firm, previously best known for their 1982 UK hit “Arthur Daley E's Alright” (a similar skit on the British show “Minder”
, became aware of it and wrote their own tune to avoid rights issues. To be fair, I've always thought it has the sound of something you've heard before.
The video was made in under a week when it became a surprise hit. And yes, that is a tight schedule for claymation (although some of it is puppetry). Every company they approached said it couldn't be done, except one. It was finished just hours before it was due to be shown on the BBC's Top of the Pops.

----- Why? Just- WHY? Man Eats Over 2 Pounds of Honey in One Minute, Sets New World Record
Honey is one of the most beloved foods on the planet, but can you imagine eating over two pounds of it in under a minute? You’re probably thinking that it can be done, but you’re probably overestimating your throat’s ability to handle viscous liquids. It’s not like drinking water or soda, and it’s not like ingesting solid foods, and that makes it really tricky. Andre Ortolf, a young German man famous for taking on unusual eating and drinking challenges, recently set out to break the world record for the most honey consumed in a minute. His attempt took place in Augsburg, Germany, and saw him consume 1,273 grams, or 44.91 ounces, of honey in just 60 seconds.

Usha has been looking fresh in maternity wear! She stepped out in an adorable black-and-white gingham sundress by Ripe Maternity, paired with classic Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses in black on gold. The dress is sweet, breezy, and perfectly summery.
Shoe note: She wore her cap-toe ballet flats, which we have seen before. While they’re reliable, they feel a little safe and dated next to the charm of the dress. I would have loved to see her in something more elevated like these Rag & Bone espadrilles / sandals:
or sleek Vince slingback flats for a modern touch.
Later, she kept it cute and casual in Hatch maternity overalls with Goodr sunglasses in Pink Flamingo, such a cutie, relaxed vibe!
Red, White & Blue Styling Inspiration
Whether you’re heading to a parade, backyard BBQ, or fireworks, here’s how to wear the colors without looking like a costume:
• Classic & Clean: A crisp white button-down or tee with tailored navy shorts and red accessories (belt, earrings, etc). Timeless and polished.
• Gingham & Stripes: Mix red gingham with navy stripes. Gingham is definitely having a moment!
• Modern Twist: All-white outfit with bold red/white/blue statement jewelry.
• Casual Cool: White jeans + red tank + navy blazer or chambray shirt. Finish with red espadrilles.
• Evening Sparkle: Navy or white linen dress with red lipstick, metallic gold accents, and fun star inspired accessories.
Keeping the palette but skipping an actual flag or flag adjacent print feels intentional rather than overwhelming. Natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and seersucker keep it breathable for summer heat. Which one is your favorite patriotic look? ----- Thanks, Piper!

It's not unusual for insiders to sell a portion of their shares, to avoid over-investment in a single equity. That said, generally speaking, insider sales are a red flag-- but insiders guess wrong too. Insiders usually divest a small portion of their total holdings.
People sell for all kinds of reasons--to pay for a daughter's destination wedding, to fund a divorce settlement. But they only buy for ONE reason.

I just read someone running some numbers in response to some lefty loon complaining about how Elon "took billions in tax dollars to become a trillionaire".
Elon has lowered the cost per lb of throwing something to LEO by about 95%. The cost for the Shuttle was about $30K/lb, with SLS pushing $40K. SpaceX charges around $1200 - $1400/lb or so depending. SpaceX's own cost per lb, using the fully reusable booster configurations is about $300/lb.
You then compare how much NASA (and military, for SpaceX launches of their hardware), all those "billions" in contracts to SpaceX have saved the US govt far more than they pay SpaceX in contracts.

Nordic aliens, also known as Pleiadians or Tall Whites, are a purported humanoid extraterrestrial race believed to originate from the Pleiades star cluster. They are typically described as tall, with features resembling those of Northern Europeans, and are often characterized as benevolent beings concerned with humanity's spiritual growth and ecological well-being.

Short answer: The IPO only sold about 4.25% of the company. That means all owners got diluted by 4.25%. Pre-IPO, Elon owned something like 46%. After the IPO, he owns something like 42%.
The change in wealth comes from the valuation the market placed on the 4.25% in the IPO. That valuation was higher than SpaceX had previously valued itself. In other words, his ownership percentage might be lower post-IPO, but the market is valuing his shares higher. SpaceX IPO shares were not sold at a discount price relative to pre-IPO valuations.

I read something similar. The person was saying thst the government made him a trillionaire because SpaceX got $38B in subsidies and contracts from the government.
I know this is a no-math zone, but $38B is less than 0.5% of $1T. And the government got satellites into orbit as a result of thos contracts.

They are performing at the top of their game, it's absolutely amazing to watch them
They've just added 50 shows across the US, Canada, Europe and South America because of sky high demand.
They are determined to go out with a bang.
And this may end up being one of the biggest Rock tours ever.

Jefferson was ambassadoring in France when the Constitution was written.
Little known fact: Jefferson brough a few slaves with him to Paris, where slavery was not legal at the time. His slaves merely had to leave the embassy and walk away, and there would have been nothing he could do to make them return, yet they remained in his service the entire time and returned to Minticello with him. Obviously their reasons were more complex than rhat they just loved working for him and wanted to remain loyal, but they all knew that freedom lay hust outside a doorway but they never opened that door.

There is an internet life coach type person called "The Crappy Childhood Fairy". She gives paid advice for people that think that they had a bad childhood.
California told her she isn't allowed to do it because she isn't licensed there and so they are fining her. The Pacific Legal Foundation is picked up her case for free
The argument that CA is making is that if you aren't a licensed therapist which costs $$$ and a degree you shouldn't be allowed to gave paid advice. This is in a federal court, and if she wins could really cause some problems for states that want to form cartels in industries...

He tried to "farm his way out of debt." Tried to manufacture nails.
When he died, they had a lottery to raise money for his daughter.
Jefferson first came to public attention as the best lawyer in VA. He appointed many of the SCOTUS justices & other federal judges.
I've always been amazed that he didn't private law practice his way out of debt-- instead of trying to manufacture nails.
*Jefferson's "plantation" could more accurately be described as "3 non-contiguous farms," i.e., his 3 farms weren't one piece of land.

President Trump looks young on his 80th birthday. I like him better without his make up.
Piper: great fashion! With our first boy I wore maternity overalls. Who'd think over 40yrs later I was stylyin'? I found out decades later that my MIL hated them & I wish I had known so I could wear them all of the time. We were po' just out of college kids & I wore tees and sweaters under them from college.
I made sure when I had DIL's I was the opposite of her, as compliments to me were rare & her criticism often. I took it like a polite Southern girl. Raised right.
Our 2nd Lady is a very cute mommy. I was ok from behind, you'd never know, but from the side at the end people got out of my way. In labor the nurse looked at me and said, "Twins?" As she got 2 heartbeats. We looked at her in shock & I said, "We only have one crib!" She got her boss & my records, confirmed there was one big one. He weighed 10lbs.

Iran has been a PITA for 50 years w/o nuclear weapons and them still not having does not change that.
They tried to make weapons in the past in secret and still have that knowledge base. The only reason they were attacked this time is because they said they had a dozen ready to assemble. They is nothing that can ever be done to prevent that in the future.
Lastly, Iran government of Mullah and IRGC has long ago earned having themselves liquidated. So, yes, I am injecting my own wishes into the whole Deal.

Thanks for the fashion segment, Piper.

Eternal God, you have shared with "Doof" and his family and his mother's friends the life of his mom. Before she was theirs , she was yours. For all that she had given to make them what they are, and for that of her which lives and grows in each of them, and for her life that in your love will never end, they give you thanks. They are offering her back into your arms . Comfort them In their loneliness. Strengthen them in their weakness and give them courage to face the future unafraid

Those are great, although they suffer from the usual "Watson is a doofus" problem with screen versions of Holmes.
The "real" Watson in the books was an ex-army doctor. He meets Holmes when he's looking for a roommate to share expenses, because he's been kicked out of the service with a token pension after getting his ass shot off in Afghanistan.
Some things never change, do they?
Also, book Holmes was an expert martial artist, while Watson was the one who carried the gun.

Posted by: four seasons at June 14, 2026 11:47 PM (x4yF4)
I've been watching those too. On Saturday mornings along with the Blondie movies. On the Movies! channel. I record them and watch them at a reasonable hour.

After decades of operation, LA's Metro Rail has yet to complete a spur into LAX. You know, only the major airport in the region.
You have to get off and ride a bus the last few miles to LAX. Or you can walk if you want.

I have never, once in my life, understood this. We cannot live in autarky. My coffee HAS to come from SOMEWHERE, and the TX Panhandle does not raise coffee.
Sure, there are businesses unique to various towns I go visit. (In San Marcos, TX, you will never find me in a Starbucks but you can definitely find me in a Mochas and Javas - shameless plug.) But I love all businesses, great and small. The evil Walmart nearest me does in fact employ lots of people who live close by. I have seen lots of good small businesses and lots of awful small businesses - just because you are a small, local business does not mean you are inherently morally superior. You compete with everyone else. And if I like your business I will spend money there. Just my 0.02.

This boy had white blonde ringlets and big green eyes. Ladies would stop and tell him how pretty he was. By age two he learned to pat his hair and say,"Oh, thank you" to his fans, as he'd heard me say it so much. Ha! No, he's not ghey and now shaves his curls off and you'd never know it was curly. He did go through a blond afro stage in junior high that mortifies him now.

I was the only one with a job so I was the only one with money for the most part. I'd load up on a few books and some cassettes (!) and call it a day.

If you look back at 2000 I think that is a good example. Enough old fashioned ways of doing things that worked, augmented by just the right amount of technology.

I am seriously surprised I was not a brat but a happy whatever pretend hippie girl. In my cute boho tops and bell bottoms. The tops I wore are making a come back for the last few years. I was way cool.
I totally confess to being part of the gas shortage under Carter as I had my father's gas credit card. We'd drive around listening to music without a care in the world in my V8 Impala that winter. There was nothing else to do on the farms in cold February, so this is what we did.

There was a marina in sewaren NJ some years back, could still be there for all I know. Not exactly an upscale area, a little industrial. It seemed like dudes had boats there just so they had a place to drink and get away from the wives. I don't know if the boats ever left. It was on the Arthur Kill river across from Staten island, so not exactly a sight seeing route, unless cruising along with container ships was your thing. I'm not sure if I had a boat it would leave either. lol

My dude is not pleased at all. I keep hoping all will be well and they will screw up. I think all the signing is just the beginning and not a treaty on the 19th?
I keep wondering why. Was it because terrorists had the blueprints to Ivanka's house in FL? Something changed.
Then I think he's playing reverse taqiyya with them or waiting til after the 4th to avoid sleeper cells here.

One part of me thinks all will be well
The other part tells me not to believe the MSM
Then there's the tiny part telling my husband that I don't believe Trump is stupid
I do think the IRGC is stupid, so that's where my hope lies. There is no leader. They are infighting barbarians and no one at the helm (there is no helm).

He's saying after the treaty is signed Hormuz will be open. He's not mentioning his oath, we will not leave uranium in Iran.
It appears that uranium is not a big part of the treaty However it is a big part of Trump's goal.

"The interior of the country is too big to invade and hold, so expect a decade of the Gulf States, America, and Israel playing whack-a-mole whenever one of the warlords gets too powerful or tries to get a nuke."
I'm no prophet, so predicting the future is off the table for me. And none of us really knows what is going on. Yes, the coastline and shipping are important, but the oil bearing provinces are also a thing.
It's also worth remembering that Iran doen't just have Iranians. It also has Turkic peoples, Azeris, Armenians, Arabs, Baluchis, Kurds and other ethnicities that might be tempted to break away. But we'll see what happens.

War lords fighting each other over their little fiefdoms is just fine. Give them something to do.
Along with, for a fact, the Kurds and the Baluch are fighting for independence. The Baluchis kill Pakistani policing officials, along with Chinese, on a regular basis.

Gun Thread: Pre-NoVAMoMe Edition!
FUNdamentals Fundamentals of MoMe'n, that is.
Oh! I totally forgot to mention that a few of us will be at the secret NoVAMoMe location Friday afternoon/early evening if you're in town and want to stop by and visit before the main event Saturday.
Spotting Scopes When shooting a rifle at longer distances, a spotting scope is essential. Below is my long-range setup before a match in Phoenix. Note the spotting scope setup next to the rifle scope so I can look through it with a very slight tilt of my head to the left. The wide angle of view is essential for observing range conditions.

NoVaMoMe 2026 What - you thought there wasn't going to be a NoVaMoMe in 2026? Note: One of the great joys of NoVAMoMe season, at least for me, is being able to cut and paste the entire block of text below and haranguing you to attend the event. Are you attending? Are you focusing on the fundamentals of attending? Alright, guys and gals, the long awaited and highly anticipated details of the 2026 NoVAMoMe are here! That's right, I finally got my act together and updated the information page for 2026, and need to go over a few details. First, the date is June 20th, 2026 from 11am to 3pm. Nextly, my bestest blog buddy bluebell and I have decided 2026 will continue the longstanding tradition of NoVAMoMe simplification, and want to pass along the changes from prior years. First, no registration and no advance charge for food. If you would like to attend, send an email to WeaselBell Productions, and let us know. You will be directed to a sekrit webpage with all of the details. We do ask once you have decided to attend to let us know so we can coordinate an expected count with venue management. Once there if you are hungry or thirsty simply order from the onsite menu and pay separately. Cash and credit cards accepted. Next, although fun, we have decided to again take a break from the raffles and mug sales this year. Depending on how it goes, that may be something we bring back in future years. While your generosity is always appreciated, with no prize table, please leave donations and contributions at home, but bring your appetite for a great afternoon spent with your imaginary online friends. Next, a NoVAMoMe PSA from our pal bluebell
Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer. Also, remember to check your spam folder if you don't receive a reply email. Thanks.Seriously, just send an email then go to the website with the password provided. If you forget, a link to the email is on the main page, left sidebar. If you do not sign up, bluebell will be disappointed. Weasel will be disappointed, too, but it's bluebell you need to worry about. That's it, people. Don't be a dork. Email WeaselBell Productions today!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

We spent what i thought was a lot of money on a spotting scope (about $400 iirc). 80mm objective. Spent money on a good tripod too.
They are good for spotting.
But. The scopes weasel and the like are using are an entirely different level. Order of magnitude higher price. $3k plus. But they are also significantly better. Are they 10x better? I don't know but you could see whether you hit the thousand through those scopes. Ours? Kinda. Looks like we hit it.
I will say if RI Red had not been spotting - between his skill and that much better optic - we wouldn't have hit the 1000.
Posted by: blaster at June 14, 2026 07:38 PM (8NhC4)
Hi gang!
Thanks for the thread.
Range report
Did some .380 firing and was not great, but hit the target not really using sights and low ready as fast as I could.
Colt .380 is my console pistol, so I would be firing one handed through a window opening quickly. Otherwise, I’m driving around through or over the aggressor.
Ruger Mark IV plinking was very satisfying. Small groups at 10 yards. Easy peasy.

I've heard the Mark IV is MUCH easier to break down and clean? I have a Mark III 22/45 with a bull barrel, and the thing is ridiculously accurate. But it's a PITA to take apart and clean (and mostly to reassemble).

Government sent it the Knudsen at GM to see if he could build 280 at firm fixed price.
He handed the gun to Saginaw (gears and steering) and the proceeded to make a copy.
Under the contract length they made 29,000 machines guns at somewhere near 1/20th the cost of the Browning.

It's what I used many, many years ago for the first (only?) Ace of Spades "postal" style match. I can't find my submission, but I think I scored pretty well....maybe dropping 3 out of 50 shots from the 10 ring? Oh, I found it. Back in 2016! Wow...time flies. I got 47 in the X, and 3 in the 10 ring. Gun definitely does it's part...misses are all on me.

So I ordered a holster for my G48. I was so excited, stuck the gun in the holster and then couldn't get it out. Even rad the directions which were no help. Finally got it out but thought, I'd be dead. It is a DeSantis. It felt really heavy in my pocket. Beginning to think I need use a different method to carry or again think about a lighter gun.
I had no trouble drawing Sra Buster's Kimber CDs9 from her holster so thought this would be a piece of cake. But...

I should just pick a gun, and keep practicing with it instead of having to 're-learn' the gun every few months.
So I have a shit ton of guns and most of them never get shot. But the G17 really works for me. So...maybe it's time to let the other guns go. Just stick with the Glock platform and my collection of magazines.
Food for thought, maybe.

There is an inexpensive permanent fix for the Ruger blues.
Try Majestic Arms, been around for a long time and has aftermarket pieces that make it far easier to deal with Ruger Mk 1-3 pistols. Plus accurizing accessories. Not expensive and user install for the most part.

I have not. I am no longer buying new guns as I am no longer rich. I do have a PSA Micro Dagger that I'm very happy with which is a lot like a G48 or G43x, it's my Church gun.
I would like a G19 grip with a G17 slide but...I can't keep buying guns at my age.

'Majestic Arms came up with a brilliant solution. Why not design a 2-piece bolt stop pin that unscrews from the top of the receiver so the bolt can be readily withdrawn out the rear without having to remove the complete mainspring assembly? This “3.2 Speed Strip Conversion Kit” will fit all Ruger .22 auto pistols. It consists of two assemblies: a 2-part, stainless steel, bolt-stop pin with Allen wrench and a new stainless steel hammer and hammer pivot bushing. Unscrewing the top half of the upgraded bolt-stop pin allows you to remove the bolt without touching the mainspring housing.
Plus, the new hammer and bushing reduce the take-up of the 2-stage trigger by 65 percent and permit the owner to eliminate the magazine disconnect feature of the Mk III for just $61.95."

Some holsters use Allen keys vice screwdrivers to adjust the fit of the holster. Also, is this for the Glock w/ the optic? If so, does the optic or its mount stick out further than the width of the slide? Some older holster designs don't take this into account.
Posted by: Ed L at June 14, 2026 08:54 PM (BCwQW)
You can wear it cross-body or at the waist. It does take some practice (just like anything else). One thing I learned was to get the bag positioned in the right place first, then put the gun in the holster. It's too easy to be fiddling with it. I haven't used it in awhile, because I'm not doing anything shooty at the moment. *sad face*
Posted by: screaming in digital at June 14, 2026 08:55 PM (lOlUK)
So I ordered a holster for my G48. I was so excited, stuck the gun in the holster and then couldn't get it out. Even rad the directions which were no help. Finally got it out but thought, I'd be dead. It is a DeSantis. It felt really heavy in my pocket. Beginning to think I need use a different method to carry or again think about a lighter gun.
I had no trouble drawing Sra Buster's Kimber CDs9 from her holster so thought this would be a piece of cake. But...
Any advice?
Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at June 14, 2026 08:29 PM (kJmSS)
Look for a kydex holster designed for the G48. Try CYA holsters, I have for my PSA MicroDagger and it is excellent.

Depends on what you want to do with your tools, sometimes the answer is simplification, sometimes not. But a Glock is pretty much bombproof if lacking aesthetics plus parts are widely available and magazines dirt cheap compared with a lot of other makes.
Other than their compacts, they don't fit my hand as well so I only have two or so. And I prefer the XD over the Glock as well as Smith 3rd Generation pistols. The XDS is a particular favorite of mine as a slim single stack. And they make a 4 inch barrel version for both the 9mm and 45. Weighs a bit more, longer site line (or even red dots for the last ones), and carries easy. 9+1 and a spare mag of 9 is enough in most cases to handle outside encounters. Home, use a service size weapon or even a tactical 5 inch barrel for higher mag capacity and more umph.

I do love my XD9, I might keep one (of the several I own...maybe 8 of them?) for nostalgia. It's also a gun I shoot well. But Glock wins the accessory and parts contest as the more familiar I am with the Glock, the better and better I shoot it.

Then go with the Glock. My critical issue is reach to trigger by a grip and the older Glocks and grip angle don't agree with me. I can shoot the Model 30 fine though and I have a Glockenmonster 19 with a glock slide on an aftermarket grip that fits better. Never cared for the fit with the 17 and 19 nor the grip angle--doesn't point naturally for me.

Look up "squirreling." It was supposedly (I read in a book from the early 1900s, IIRC, with the story set in the early 1800s) shooting the tree limb directly under the squirrel with a large caliber ball (black powder, single-shot muzzleloaders, but rifled). It would stun the squirrel without exploding him into tiny squirrel tenders, and you could go up and whack his head against the tree, then bag him for dinner. 45-70 might work for that, though you might also just break the limb.

Food Thread: Bread And Butter...A Match Made In Heaven
This guy is funny, and completely apolitical, at least as far as I can tell. I don't like the sound of cereal hitting the bowl It's un-American! Is your fridge broken? Those were gifts for Easter! Nuts!
Ah...scampydog does Chicago!
Travel changes the menu. Meals while traveling become part of the memory of the trip. Those that live in rural areas and don’t have access to the variety found in large cities understand this immediately. It doesn’t have to be exotic food or trendy restaurants either. Sometimes it’s just the things you can’t get back home - or more accurately, can’t get prepared correctly back home. Spent last weekend in Chicago. Nephew graduated from law school - nice to have a lawyer in the family. Maybe. The cravings started about three days before departure: a simple, authentic Italian beef sammich. Thin-sliced beef soaked in jus, good giardiniera, paper giving way before the first bite. Shortly after came the craving for a proper Chicago dog - dragged through the garden, all the right fixings. Ordinary food that somehow becomes the entire point of the trip. First food stop was for the Italian beef sammich. Seasoned beef shaved thin, melted provolone, spicy giardiniera piled on top. Jus dripping through the wrapper and a bit of it down the wrist. Food Valhalla for a country boy. Pic is a bit blurry, about the same as my mental state after the first bite.
Next up: the Chicago dog. Yellow mustard, pickle, celery salt, and the criminally underrated sport peppers. Dog charred just enough and hanging over both ends of the bun. No onions, no tomatoes, no glow-in-the-dark relish - those toppings are for the unwashed. Dog was fine, but the homemade chips stole the show. Should have ordered a 10lb bag to go.
Tavern pizza for the finale? Sort of. Knew the place was good the second we sat down. Small menu. Maybe seven appetizers, four salads, and 14-inch pizzas offered two ways: Tavern Style or Artisan. Efficient. No need to rewrite a novel/War and Peace when you know what you’re doing. The Tavern pizza itself was solid - thin crust with burnt edges. Soppressata and smoked pancetta on all, garlic on one half, giardiniera on the other. Waiter gave a knowing nod – or you’re an idiot nod, but I’ll humor you. Tourist. The surprise winner was the Sunday Salad. Big plate. Awkward oversized tongs like something borrowed from an ear, nose, and throat doctor’s office. Little gem lettuce base, balanced amounts of salami, ditalini, cheeses, firm beans, finely chopped vegetables, and a red wine vinegar-sweet Italian dressing that tied the whole operation together. Damnit, it worked. For about fifteen minutes, I was half vegan.
The garlic is doing well! I think. I know all of you are worried, but it is still tall and green and healthy! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! Now I have to figure out when to harvest! Late June into July seems like the consensus. But I'm a Dildo, not a farmer! In case it doesn't work out, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Naturally, I did what anyone with an ounce of common sense would do, and made Hurricanes for the wife and me. I made homemade grenadine a couple of weeks ago, so I was set. It was spectacular. Refreshing, and
1 oz each white and dark rum (my hand slips sometimes)
1 oz passion fruit juice
1/2 oz fresh orange juice
1/4 oz each of grenadine, lime juice, and simple syrup
A slice of orange and maraschino cherry, for garnish
Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake, strain into a CHILLED Hurricane glass (from Amazon) with more cubed ice. Garnish.
Feels like summer.

Lots of the recipes I see today have a "jump to recipe" button at the beginning...which I pretty much always use. No, I don't care about how you once at this dish on a trip somewhere and why you were on that trip and how many times you've tried to recreate the dish, etc. etc. etc.

You can take your chances with the "jump to recipe" button, but it's just as likely to be a "please load more ads" button.
So: start at the bottom and scroll up.
The worst that happens then is it's a 10-year-old recipe post and you have to scroll past all the inane comments.
"This recipe for smoked brisket doesn't comport with my vegan lifestyle."
"Sounds great, but does anyone have a gluten-free soy-free dairy-free nut-free alternative for every ingredient except the water?"
"Be careful of microplastics if you store the leftovers in anything but pure stainless steel!"
And, of course, the AI-generated ads posing as comments.

For the "soup dumpling" to be perfect, it must be very hot. Some would say molten hot. To eat a soup dumpling at the proper time you exchange taste for pain. If you are lucky, the numbness in your mouth created by the incessant heat lessens just enough so that you get a smidge of flavor for your efforts. This is further compromised by all the jumping around and sharp intake of breath.
Soup dumplings in their proper form are a form of torture.

It also included recipes. From the Hôtel Meurice (I get flashbacks to Gay Purr-ee on that name), I made a chocolate mousse cake that is incredible.
Mousse
8 oz bittersweet chocolate
1-1/8 cup cream
4 egg whites
3-½ tbsp sugar
1-½ tbsp orange liqueur
Melt chocolate over double boiler; let cool. Beat cream to soft peaks. Beat egg whites to frothy and add sugar a very little at a time, beating just to stiff peaks. Beat in chocolate, stir in liqueur, and fold in whipped cream. Spoon into a 6-inch springform pan (at least 3 inches deep), smoothing the top, and freeze, covered with plastic wrap, for at least four hours.
Ganache & Topping
1-2 tbsp cream
1-2 oz bittersweet chocolate
1 tsp cocoa powder
Microwave cream and chocolate for 10-15 seconds and stir until smooth. Spread over mousse and freeze again for at least one hour. Sift cocoa powder over top.
The original uses 14 eggs; I cut it down to only 6 servings.

Still cooking down the inventory here. Today: getting bread scraps out of the freezer and making bread pudding. Found some apple cinnamon jelly in the fridge. Gonna melt that and pour it over the top when it's done.
I estimate 15+ pounds of pasta accumulated in a fit of absent-mindedness. Also making a chicken pesto salad today -- out of neglected things found in the fridge and freezer, of course.
I thought I had cooked up all the ground beef into one thing or another, but this morning to my dismay I found another half-pound of it in the freezer. Sigh. Not enough to really make anything except a couple of burgers? I'll figure it out later this week.

Yes. Depending on your knife you may wish to dip it in water between cuts.
Stores well in the freezer, to the extent that you can avoid removing it “for just one more wafer-thin slice” so often that there’s nothing left to store.

Mayo
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Dash of Wocestershire
VERY SMALL amount of liquid smoke (a little goes a long way here)
Served on a sub roll with sharp Tillamook cheddar, sliced Roma tomato, and sliced olives (green or black... both are good for this). No romaine lettuce on hand or that would have also gone on.
It was good enough that I had a second round, but in deference to my "diabeetus" I skipped the role, cubed up the cheese and tomato, and ate it as a kind of salad.

Both were amazing, as was everything else they cooked.
I really wish I'd made them teach me some of their recipes, but this was long enough ago that boys weren't encouraged to learn to cook. I did learn basic things, but not the complex stuff ... and of course none of it was written down.
They could do things like bake a fancy cake using a WOOD RANGE. They had gas by the time I came along, but they both still had their old wood ranges in the basement, just in case.
When I consider the careful attention it takes me just to grill meat properly, that's just amazing to me. They must've had wizard-level skills at building and controlling a fire.

Not as much as those who waste money on high-end vodka.
Yeah, cheap rotgut vodka is bad, but above a certain quality (which is nowhere near the top end of the market), there's no significant difference between brands.
You could take your Everclear, dilute it about 50:50, and not one of the vodka snobs could tell it apart from their preferred brand.
Obviously flavored vodka is different.

There is literally nothing in it but alcohol and a trace amount of water. Any "hotness" is going to be there because you're essentially drinking pure ethanol.
Same stuff as used in most blended whiskey, gin, and many liqueurs.

As for food - attempting to cook baby back ribs for the first time ever. I don't have a smoker - using my trusty gas grill. I made some foil pouches to hold hickory chips which were soaked in water for 30 mins. Ribs were cooking for 2 hours on 250-260 indirect heat with a nice dry rub. Just wrapped them in foil to start a 90 minute cook with a little apple juice in there. Then they'll go 30 more unwrapped. May or may not brush with some sauce. My backyard smells amazing with the hickory smoke! Enjoying some Buffalo Trace to celebrate National Bourbon Day!

I would expect everclear to be 'hot' which is usually a sign of low end vodka.

Everclear tastes like gasoline. Poison. Undrinkable. In fact, a penalty for pledges for violating whatever dumb (and probably gay) frat rules were in place in my college back in the day was to do a triple-shot of EC. Many gagging and even vomits resulted.

That's just about the only way I cook it. I don't have the patience to tend a fire for hours (see comments about great-grandmothers above).
Add some potatoes, carrots and other seasonings to your likings, and cook it on the lowest setting your crockpot has. I like to set the crockpot to high until it just reaches boiling, then put it down to the lowest setting, which I think is "six hours" on mine.
Here again, liquid smoke is a good thing.

Morons sometimes affect caveman, redneck talk to avoid sounding college-educated/gay/European. "Sammich" in particular is usually used in the context of ordering a woman to make one, so the effete/liberal/gay avoidance is amped up.

The term "sammich" is a playful and informal variation of the word "sandwich." It is believed to have originated from a colloquial pronunciation or phonetic alteration of "sandwich," often used in casual settings among friends and family. The term reflects a lighthearted and affectionate way of referring to a sandwich, particularly when it is particularly tasty or indulgent. While "sandwich" is the standard term recognized universally, "sammich" conveys a sense of warmth and familiarity, often evoking images of comfort foods and home-cooked meals.

I have the reverse food experience when traveling. I live in one of the biggest cities in the world, with an international foodie scene, but what I can’t get here — at least outside of obscure specialty stores — is the kind of stuff found on many menus in the south and Midwest: bison and elk, gator, turtle, walleye, catfish, even quality biscuits and gravy.
I was in rural VA not long ago, at a basic restaurant. Nothing fancy. It was Louisiana style, so gator, catfish, and turtle were all right there.

Slow cooked brisket is the way, be it via smoker or crock pot. Now a crock pot will perfectly ruin a filet mignon, as well as my tender sensibilities. The two sitting in my fridge have been salted and will be dusted with garlic salt and crusted with freshly cracked pepper. They'll get no more than four minutes per side over a blazing wood fire that ideally can be seen from space. Just before plating, a healthy pat of rosemary infused butter will be placed on each. It gonna be goood yeah!

you can use it in stroganoff in place of cottage cheese, or you can mix it up and use it for the filling in a blini.
You can make a nice spread if you mix it with olive oil and mustard or horseradish and maybe a touch of honey if it is too sour.
You can crumble it on a spinach salad, and it works well if you put it on a "margherita" pizza as a topping before baking.
You really can use it also in any dish that calls for cotija cheese.

It's tasty, but I dunno if it's tasty enough to be worth the labor. I'd imagine that milk quality has a lot to do with this. Jersey milk is probably better than that Holstein "blue john" that gets sold as milk in the supermarket.
However, a family I know has a Thanksgiving tradition. They put whole milk in a large mason jar and start shaking it. Whenever someone gets tired of shaking, they pass it on to the next person. You get homemade butter ready in time for the dinner rolls.
I always intend to do that with my family, and I always forget.

Heh... in one of the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey-Maturin novels, a sailor from another ship gets executed for sodomy with the ship's goat.
Aubrey and Maturin are having coffee afterward. "Milk?" "Goat's milk?" "Yes." "Then perhaps without milk, if you please."

I despise goat milk, and anything made from it, but you should be able to the same with cow milk."
DMLW,
Thanks. I might try it for fun. I happen to like goat milk and a vendor at the local farmers market sells it. I should give it a try. We go through too much butter in our house for homemade to be practical for all our needs.

I have wet cured chunks of brisket in Morton's sugar cure and then used a crock pot to cook it like a pot roast. When it is brined long enough, and then rinsed well enough, and cooked slow enough it is wonderful. If I push it by cooking it hotter, it gets tough.
If you are going to make salt beef of any sort, it has to be fatty, but it has to be cooked slow.

My mom Bought raw milk from a farmer down the road, back when you could do that without Big Karen scowling and yelling.
She would churn butter out of the cream. Not sure if it was good, because when I was a kid I hated most dairy products; cream, butter, cheese. Not sure what changed, but now I love it.

I got a yogurt maker so I started to buy gallons of whole milk and making my own yogurt. It is easy to not do yogurt well, and cleanliness and sterilizing the equipment is essential. It tends to go bad and you wind up with solid curds and whey if it is not done right.
Eventually I hit on the trick of buying cultured buttermilk as the inoculant, which worked tolerably well, but it was basically buttermilk. Then I started buying Kiefer because I could get the mini bottles, and that worked better, and I liked it better.
Finally I started using kiefer and saccharomyces boulardi yeast (a common probiotic) and that gave me -- off and on -- yogurt that was pretty solid and not overly sour.
It is good with canned fruit for making smoothies.

So far, pickle lid a frog's hair too small for wide mouth jar.

Bought Ball's wide mouth jar with separate lid & band & transferred cream & yogurt mixture from fridge.
Went to check said mixture.
Ordered mason jar lid remover with overnight delivery.

Long, long ago there was an ice cream / donut shop near the "El" station close to where I worked ... I often stopped in for my morning coffee; they had a really excellent chocolate frosted cake donut, but the economy item on their menu was an 8" hunk of Gonnella's bread with butter for a quarter and I often got that to dunk ... yummy bread and butter, plus buttery coffee!

If you plan to make your own butter, Costco has heavy cream in a half gallon that is 40% butterfat. It's the only place I've seen with higher than 36%. It pours like the heavy cream we had as a child from a nearby farm.

Love that the under cabinet & ceiling lights could be either bright or soft lighting, so much better for me when working at cabinet level. And they're all a little easier on the monthly electric bills.

"Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas was carried onto the platform by two men, then shoved from the edge, according to a video of the fall that surfaced online, as bystanders yelled that she didn’t have a rope tied to her and plummeted some 40 meters into a canyon. Medics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Local reports of what happened say that witnesses told Military Police that workers apparently forgot to tie her to a safety cord before pushing her over, said The Sun."

It won't be disabled, Microsoft has said in press releases that they will simply deny them their essence, errr further security updates.
I really don't blame MS for this one issue. It really is on MSI deciding their prebuilt desktops aren't allowed to get bios updates for their mobos. Even if it is the exact same mobo as the ones that do. Mine has a MAG Z390M MORTAR, which has a '24 update that would solve this, but they change the bios code of their prebuilts so the mflash utility doesn't allow updating with it.

Welcome to every day in anime fandom.
Although we complain when the subtitles and the English dub match. "Dubtitles" suck. Subtitles should be closer to the original intent, and leave in the Japanesey things. Dubs can be totally Americanized for people who don't know what a rice ball is or why they're adding -san to everyone's name.

Looked it up, here in Kentucky, if a us senator dies, the governor (fucking Beshear) would appoint a replacement (hard commie) until a special election.

AI generated answer:
Under current Kentucky law, a U.S. Senate vacancy is filled exclusively through a special election, as the governor no longer possesses the authority to appoint a temporary replacement.
Legislative Change: In 2024, the Kentucky General Assembly passed House Bill 622, overriding Governor Andy Beshear’s veto to strip the governor of appointment powers.

But you can't buy them. Only in Dubai. The rest of the world is still being cheated. Philips won't sell them elsewhere, but could. Look up "light bulb cartel" for the history of us being cheated.

FISA Is A Catastrophic Failure, And Should Be Allowed To Die
Except...our government is fanatical about spying on us, and there is no way that a temporary pause in their ability to spy on Americans will survive. That pause is for purely political reasons, as the House simply doesn't like President Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Once that little pissing match is cleared up, they will go back to merrily supporting warrantless searches and surveillance of Americans.
Oh, they have their cute little legal subterfuges that protect them...we Americans are swept up in that surveillance by accident! Really! It's true! Our government claims, without a hint of irony or sarcasm, that when Americans are spied upon without a warrant, it is merely coincident to the surveillance of a foreign national, and they respect our God-given natural rights to safety from government intrusion. US intelligence community's foreign spying powers expire after lawmakers reject FISA extensionThe law enables the US government to surveil non-Americans abroad without first going before a judge to get a warrant. However, that surveillance often sweeps up communications of American citizens in the process. The controversial spy power was reformed in 2024, but some critics want additional changes.
This shit has been going on forever, and FISA was supposed to be the solution to the myriad domestic spying programs that our Constitution expressly forbids. Except that after FISA was passed in 1978, spying on Americans seems to have increased! Here is a small sample of the dozens of programs that our government used or uses to spy on us.
- COINTELPRO
- Operation CHAOS
- Project RESISTANCE
- Operation MERRIMAC
- MINARET
- SHAMROCK
- Post-1978
- CARNIVORE
- PRISM
- Section 215
- Total Information Awareness (TIA)
- Stellar Wind
- Hemisphere Project
- Section 702
- Main Core
FISA is so obviously a rubber stamp for fishing expeditions based on political or personal expediency that it's embarrassing that any legislator defends it. But most of them do, and it's only the dust-up with Bill Pulte as DNI that they even bothered to look up from the trough and actually do something. Most of the Bill Of Rights address these affronts to our freedom and liberty, yet our government cavalierly disregards those rights, claiming the always convenient, "National Security Imperative," or whatever phrase is in fashion to describe the destruction of our freedoms.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.-- Samuel Adams He said that in 1776, and it applies today. Government should serve us, not the other way around. And...government should also fear us as a free people. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that, and today we see shocking examples of countries whose citizens have become subjects exactly because their governments no longer fear them. This is not a call to arms; this is simply a recognition that we must defend all of our rights, no matter how trivial-seeming or unlikely. Most of us will never be swept up in the surveillance of a foreigner, and most of us will never be surveilled coincident with an investigation. Except...we can never know that with certainty unless we fight back against the rapidly encroaching totalitarianism of our government. Yes, that sounds melodramatic...just like the wholesale arrest and detention of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators after January 6th, 2021 sounded like a conspiracy-theorist's fever dream.

In Katz, the government bugged a phone booth where Katz the bookie placed his bets, dealt with customers, etc. and they would turn on the mikes in the phone booth whenever he was in there and turn off when he left.
Search was thrown out because Katz had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the phone booth. Later, in the 1978 Smith v. Maryland case, you had phone records of who you called and how long you talked to them no longer needing a warrant under the third party doctrine.

I'm not convinced those are always wrong or include something destructive. I think it's more a matter of degrees. I can jealously guard something against theft, corruption or destruction, which I would regard to be entirely appropriate in a number of situations - like your kids' innocence or your wife's fidelity. I think one can be envious without a necessarily secondary evil motive, such as I could be envious of someone's killer vacation or new sportscar but be happy for them in their achievement. So I'm not convinced those are automatically "bad" things but rather depend on the context.

All of these 'third party' searches automated and requiring little if no police effort or budget. So you get a lot more of them due to trivial cost when in the old days, it would take squads of police to actually physically follow you and collect the data directly by visiting store keepers, etc.
Add in FISA with its ridiculous hops rule and degrees of separation and suddenly it means Big Brother and those who hold its leash being able to Stasi with methods they could only dream of.

The law has not caught up with technology in all kinds of ways. This of course is a glaring example but even things as seemingly trivial as the requirement to have your registration and proof of insurance on you. Cops have all that shit at their fingertips on their in-car computer. They know you if you do or don't have insurance before they even pull you over, and they know who the car is registered to by the license tag or the VIN. The only reasons for these requirements to remain as they are, with a few outliers, is simply a matter of revenue generation.

I think it is because Trump doesn't want open civil war during his presidency. And that may well be why he is so focused on resolving foreign affairs and fixing election security on his watch.
That will give a future GOP president the means to finish uprooting the Deep State.
Intrigues for power and money will always be in existence in any government and the more powerful the government internationally, the intrigues get a foreign tinge as foreign powers try to steer the superpower by influence and adopting internal factions to support.

Alito floated a new idea, the mosaic theory of privacy where the totality of the government's actions seeking computerized information triggers the requirement for a search warrant at some point.
Rest of the justices hit the snooze button.
FISA itself though was a legislative cover for spying on communications and actions which as they cross borders, there is NO expectation of privacy (same as physically crossing the border or customs). That is old settled law, where FISA makes it worse is the collection of data up to three hops and not requiring a warrant to unmask domestic counterparts of intercepts between other domestic comms using the three hop rule. That is what was abused in the Trump cases.

I think a revamp might be requiring liability insurance for individual cops be required and the removal of qualified immunity from all government officials except life or death immediate situations.
And individual cops that insurance agencies refuse to cover means unemployment. The public should not have to pay for the misdeeds of criminals in uniforms, they should have the pay themselves with their jobs and money. Qualified immunity too was stretched far beyond street law enforcement to bureaucrats denying rights to students for example.
Rehnquist court created the doctrine and Scotus needs to severely prune it back to its original intent-- a split second mistake involving life and death for cops (like shooting a creep with a fake gun).
In UK and elsewhere, there is no exclusionary rule but rather that the cops involved in illegal searches can be sued individually and even criminally charged for trespass.

The latter two you can do certainly and should. Malpractice is simply one way to do it along with other means. But, if you recall, doctors and nurses also were getting fired for not buying the massive Covid and vaxx demands that were in fact false.
Priests,etc. are a matter of First Amendment Free Exercise clause. Look up the doctrine of ministerial exception to employment laws.
Criminal acts can be charged but removal from being a priest, etc. by the state smacks of authoritarianism during the Commie days and before that royal interference with freedom of religious beliefs. So Scotus has provided that the state's role is barred from making choices of who is or is not a priest. No such bar on criminal complaints as they treat religious officials the same as a non religious criminal.

Three hop rule for comms but comms with third parties of any sort like texts are scooped up for perusal without a warrant, merely a subpoena.
The three hop rule acts like degrees of separation in the Kevin Bacon game. You talked with someone that did make a foreign call to a shady person, and thus everyone within the three degrees of separation can be tracked. Ends up pretty enormous. 7 degrees of separation, IIRC, pretty much is the entire living population of the world. Almost all of your acquaintances, work mates, family, friends, etc. are swept up in a three degree of separation.
"That prediction is being borne out today. A paper just submitted to arXiv titled Four Degrees of Separation, says that a study of the entire network of 721 million Facebook users with 69 billion relationship links shows an average distance of 4.74 degrees of separation."

Bill of Rights applies to internal discipline for ministers, etc. State has no role in selecting or removing such. In reality, lawsuits against religious bodies often has more effect nowadays.

I think a more recent search indicated all Fakebook users are within 3.5 degrees of separation now. And that is where FISA needs to be cut back. Originally in 1978, it was designed to catch spy rings where you had one outside liaison to the KGB or whatever but that liaison then ran the internal spy ring composed of native sources. Was designed for wiretapping more than internet age and wiretapping was a pita requiring a lot more agency effort than today.

Ah! A historical note:
In 1820, Rep. Felix Walker, who was from Buncombe County, N.C., gave a long, rambling speech in the U.S. House. Not much was remembered about it other than it had little relevance to that day’s business.
Walker, originally from West Virginia, became known for using the expression “speaking for Buncombe.” This quickly got modified and was used to label any kind of nonsense or questionable statement. It was called “bunkum” and then later, “bunk.”

It's safe to assume that everything you've ever said or done on or with any form of electronic communication is stored somewhere. That's what that massive NSA server farm in New Mexico or wherever it was is for, and that's that the "AI" data centers will continue to do. If you ever stick your head up such that you become noticed by the powers that be, they will go there and ferret out anything that could be used against you for blackmail, oppo research or criminal prosecution.

You are aware that the agencies themselves are selling names and information lists to anyone who calls and pays the fee?
Oregon, quite humorously in light of their recent "we can't provide provide voter rolls to the FedGov because ILLEGAL" already sells those rolls to anyone who can pay the fee. The fee used to be $29.

FISA Is A Catastrophic Failure...
Every time I see the phrase:
(Noun) is a (Adjective) Failure!
I can't help but roll my eyes and instantly disbelieve the that whatever (Noun) is actually a (Adjective) Failure.
This phrase has been misused and abused so often, mostly by the left, that it's lost all meaning and rhetorical punch for me.
F'rinstance this morning at Insty I read some a-hole claiming "Elon Musk is a failure, who failed upward."
Really? Elon Musk is a failure. If he a failure, I'll take some of what he's failing at.
TL/DR "Failure" is a failure.

The ironic thing is that the person that tries to preserve privacy by actions (which you can to some degree) suddenly becomes an anomaly in the data where the agency suddenly concentrates its attention on the outlier to determine why.
Act like a spook and be treated as one by the system. Being a rural hermit like Crazy Ted Kaczynski or moving abroad is about the only way to reduce the omnipresent surveillance in the West.

A guy was arrested for something like trying to lure a minor to kidnap or abuse… no eyewitnesses but simply AI said the guy on the video (from the store) is that guy. They arrest him… he was never within 2 hours of that location. He successfully sued the police department. I’m glad he did… to me that is one scary story

“Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.”-- Bill Clinton'05, at the height of his "Friendship" with Epstein after having him invited 17times to the WH of which at least two covered discussions of Monica.
