Handicapable Hounds Cafe

melbourneaustralia.jpg
Melbourne by Mikuma1998

Prancing bison.

A dog's greatest fantasy.

Cats do not even pretend to love all of their family members equally.

A dance-off with your dog.

All it takes to impress a cat is sorcery.

I can't guarantee this video is real, but I know pull-on masks are now of Mission: Impossible quality.

The guard dog lied on his resume.

Oof: Cyclists zoom off a road on to what is actually a driveway and don't see the turnpike blocking the drive until it clotheslines them.

This better not be AI.

Unexpected friendship.


Here's shift-tilt photography of a farm. I've linked that recently but it's worth a rewatch.

This sounds amazing! I used beef bone broth, it isn’t vegetarian. I just needed something a little less heavy tonight, so lots of veggies, black beans and pintos.

But yours sounds better. Lol.

I would gladly subscribe to Ace so that my presence results in money for him if it would just get rid of this change. I know I can give via PayPal, but can I just Patreon or Substack or something so that it's regular and I don't have to think about it? Ace is worth it and so would getting rid of this new ad behavior.

You can do an ad blocker and recurring hit of the tip jar through pay pal to offset you blocking the ads, as a suggestion. The pop up ad is definitely annoying, but I know that is what is keeping the lights on so I deal with it.

I vaguely remember hearing about a browser add-on that does something like that. I don't remember what it was called but I'm sure anyone who cares to can find it. It "clicks" on all the links on a page but doesn't actually show you any of the results. So the page gets its monetization but you don't see the ads. If you explicitly click a link yourself, it opens normally.

BREAKING: President Obama and his National Security Adviser Susan Rice were so distraught after Trump won in 2016 they literally broke down and cried in front of White House staff, according to 1,100 hours of new audio and video compiled by Columbia University in cooperation with the Obama Foundation. After all they'd built, they feared their accomplishments were "at risk" of being torn down by a "con man" and a "clown." Ergo, Trump had to be stopped?

From Ed Morrissey's summary of reactions to Donkey-Chomper's Mitch-McConnell-level brain glitch:

Charles C.W. Cooke at NRO: Browning suggests that AOC went to Munich to insist that "wealthy world leaders must better provide for their working classes or risk their countries sliding toward authoritarianism." Apparently, he considers this exonerative. In truth, though, that is the whole problem: AOC is a one-trick pony. What she says in America is what she says in Munich, because she doesn't know how to say anything else. At some point in her life she became attracted to warmed-over democratic socialism, and since that point she has declined to learn anything more. She's a meme, an avatar, a vibe. In her interview with Browning, she griped that the press had focused on "any five-to-10-second thing" from her remarks. But of course it did. She is a five-to-10-second thing. She is a limerick competing with a bunch of novels. What did she think was going to happen?
Advertisement

Elsewhere, AOC implies that the media's interest in her potentially "running for president" has made it tough for her agenda to break through. But one must wonder why, if political drama is to blame, this did not apply to Marco Rubio, who is constantly depicted as being involved in a monumental power struggle with JD Vance, and yet managed to deliver a speech at the same conference that was widely regarded as masterly. As it happens, the explanation for this difference is simple: Marco Rubio went to Germany to make a discrete case to the Munich Security Conference, and AOC went to Germany to make yet another Instagram video about nothing. The results matched the aims.

Wait, I don't understand -- does Jake Tapper use Twitter for self-promotion?

fakejaketapperveryverysad.jpg

At the age of 58, Gavin Newsom just discovered he's "dyslexic." This discovery comes as the wealth white straight (???) man enters a primary in which black/Jamaican/Indian immigrant woman Kamala Harris is leading. He needs a way to claim "Buh I'm a minority too." And his Delayed Realization Dyslexia will fill that bill.


After Newsom said something historically illiterate, Ted Cruz said he was historically illiterate.

Newsom went into Total Shrieking Pansy Mode and whined that by saying he's historically illiterate, Ted Cruz was Dog Whistling about the dyslexia that no one believes Gavin Newsom actually has.


This is a troll, and a good one:

How exactly did they think that would work out? I mean it's 2016 and the best they could do is call someone on the Trump team a "faggot" and insinuate that he might be compromised because of that? The 1950s called and want their stuff back. That was really reaching.

180 QUESTION.AND THOUGHT EXPERIMENT

Are we worse off with Hillary in 2008 or was Obama worse than Hillary?

And what does a 2008 Hillary presidency look like? I think it would have been NeoCon foreign policy, old school commie blue dog economics. Maybe she would have understood mass migration better and not engaged in it so openly.

As the Communist Cuban Junta Enters End-of-Life Care, Marco Rubio Begins Secretly Talking to Raul Castro's Grandson About a Living Will

Nine days ago, John Sexton predicted the communist regime of Cuba was entering its last year.

They've run out of airplane fuel, leading to grounded airplanes. And they're rationing gasoline. They are no longer receiving gas and oil from Venezuela in return for the state police thugs they sent to protect Maduro and find and torture his critics.

Russia is no longer sending its Dark Fleet to aid them either. In fact, the NYT reports that Cuban communists are realizing they are completely isolated and alone.

Predictions of the demise of Cuba's government have been made before, notably after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which had been Cuba's main benefactor, only to be proved wrong.

But this time, experts say, the survival of Cuba's government appears very much in doubt...

The U.S. government "has determined that Cuba must be free before the end of 2026," said Marcell Felipe, a prominent Cuban exile leader in Miami who chairs the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora and said he had met with U.S. diplomats. "This is a plan in motion."...

A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly about the administration’s interactions with Havana said Cuban officials were nervous because they were starting to realize their revolution was coming to an end."

And now Axios reports that Rubio is talking to Cuban officials -- to talk about what happens when the regime collapses and society descends into chaos.


Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding secret talks with the grandson and caretaker of Cuba's aging de facto dictator, Raul Castro, as the U.S. puts unprecedented pressure on Havana's regime, three sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: The talks between Rubio and Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro are bypassing official Cuban government channels. They show that the Trump administration sees the 94-year-old revolutionary as the communist island's true decision-maker.

"I wouldn't call these 'negotiations' as much as 'discussions' about the future," a senior Trump administration official said.

Zoom in: Rubio and his team see the 41-year-old grandson and his circle as representing younger, business-minded Cubans for whom revolutionary communism has failed -- and who see value in rapprochement with the U.S.

"Our position -- the U.S. government's position -- is the regime has to go," the senior official said. "But what exactly that looks like is up to [President Trump] and he has yet to decide. Rubio is still in talks with the grandson."

Called "Raulito," the younger Castro is known in political circles by his nickname "El Cangrejo" ("The Crab") because he has a deformed finger.

Zoom out: After 67 years of U.S. sanctions and Cuban mismanagement, the totalitarian government appears closer than ever to collapse as the island teeters on the edge of a humanitarian crisis.

The power grid is failing. Hospitals are limiting surgeries. Food and fuel are increasingly scarce. Tourism is drying up. Uncollected garbage is piling up on some street corners.

...

Between the lines: The U.S. military's success and technical superiority in the Maduro operation shook Cuba's leadership after American forces suffered no losses and killed at least 32 Cuban intelligence and military officials who were supposed to be guarding Maduro, U.S. officials say.

But the U.S. decision to keep Maduro's governing partners in power --notably his Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who's now acting president -- signaled to Cuban insiders that Trump and Rubio are willing to make deals with rivals.

The difference is that Puerto Ricans were not driven out with nothing, and therefore do not have the same attachment to their lost homes and lands. I think there will be a huge movement to go back by the grizzled survivors and their descendants, many of whom are loaded and would love to buy back what they lost.

The famous saying is that "there is a lot of ruin in a nation." Cuba is exploring the limits of that saying.

People go bankrupt slowly, then all at once.

Another way to see it, many of these countries are in mutual support networks. Venezuela was kept going by China and Russia, and they kept Cuba going. Venezuela also helped keep China and Russia relevant. Venezuela was the missing middle.

Little did the fillmmakers know, that they ended up documenting how not-bad things were before the revolution. COmpared to now, kooks pretty sweet, though it was intended to make it look unfair.

I would love to see a not repressed Havana, too. It’s still pretty cool, with some people / areas being more equal than others in communism, of course. It’s where the tourists go, so they try to give it a decent veneer. The antique cars would kind of be missed, but I would love for Cubans to have freedom more than cars we think are cool, and they keep running with twist ties and gum.

162 There's some real interesting dynamics at play relative to Cuba. The Liberal MP's in Canada are trying to get Carney to send fuel reserves to Cuba (which is diametrically opposed to the US strategy).

At the same time, I can assure you that the US has certain alphabet agency assets in Cuba, and don't be surprised is their main export (Sugar Cane) has a dismal year relative to wireworm and borer stem infestation. I wouldn't be surprised to see a little power plant sabotage by some "unknown" parties as well.

The Cuban infrastructure is absolute shit on it's own, but don't think that isn't a helping hand taking place. And, Canada (and the EU for that matter) has warned the US about unchecked "imperialism/expansion".

Trump just ignored them.

Little-known zombie trivia:

It was "Z" that inspired me to stat taking photos of crazy leftists and posting them on the Internet. In particular, the scene where the young photographer is told to leave the room and agrees to do so, but keeps clicking away secretly with his camera even though his arm is down and he's not looking through the viewfinder. I've been using that technique ever since, and got most of my best zombietime shots that way.

Surprise! Harvard Refuses to Obey the Supreme Court Ruling Outlawing Race Discrimination in Admissions. All They've Done Is End Discrimination Against Asians -- and Doubling Up on Anti-White Discrimination

I don't know how many surprises I can take in a week!

Matthew Schmitz:

Matthew Schmitz
@matthewschmitz

Harvard did not stop discriminating by race, @herandrews writes. It simply stopped doing so against Asians. Affirmative action continues, but now it is entirely at the expense of one race instead of two.

harvarddefiessupremecourtdoublesuponantiwhitediscrimination.jpg

Meanwhile, colleges are de-emphasizing standard English and championing black vernacular as a more authentic form of (academic!) speech.

That directive is a byproduct of the NCTE's 2020 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), whose delegates demanded that

Teachers stop using academic language and standard English as the accepted communicative norm, which reflects White Mainstream English!

and that

Teachers develop and teach Black Linguistic Consciousness that works to decolonize the mind (and/or) language, unlearn white supremacy, and unravel anti-Black linguistic racism!

In short, delegates to that conference "DEMAND[ed] Black Linguistic Justice."

If you thought that academe's social-justice warriors would retreat in 2025, you will be disheartened to hear what just happened at the Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU).

In compliance with the CCCC's 2020 resolution, in December MSU's Writing Center redefined Standard American English as "a social construct that privileges white communities and maintains social and racial hierarchies." The writing center's new policy urges students to "us[e] their English (whatever that may be) in communicating their thoughts and ideas."

The Independence Institute was quick to mock MSU's decision, calling it "Good News for White Supremacists" because it "helps assure that people of color stay at the bottom." When the MSU writing center's new posting made national news, university officials "removed that content" and assured students that MSU "remains committed to rigorous academic standards and preparing all students for success in life and careers."

The NCTE's "new priests" view grammar instruction as "an instrument of imperialist oppression."

Meanwhile, an Ivy League president admits the undeniable: College education is suffering a historic lack of public confidence, and that lack of public trust is well-earned.

Very few do what President Beilock did. But I recommend that others try.

If you have not yet caught up with this story, here is what Beilock did: She published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, frankly acknowledging the drastic decline in public confidence in American higher education. She allowed that the loss of confidence is warranted.

As a reader of the Chronicle of Higher Education and other megaphones of the liberal establishment, I know that college presidents know Beilock is right, but they also know that it is an unspeakable truth. The best they can do is declare that the loss of confidence is temporary and that when people come to their senses, they will realize that their colleges and universities fully deserve the respect that students, parents, and taxpayers used to have for the nation's thinkeries.

But the American public is more skeptical than ever before in our nation's history that college is "worth it" and that judgment will only grow more intense in the years ahead--unless Beilock's sage advice is heeded.

Her short essay names five problems and their possible solutions. The problems are: unaffordability, poor return on investment, political posturing, erasure of poor performance, and corrupt admissions. I've phrased some of those more bitingly than Beilock does. For example, what I label "corrupt admissions," she phrases as the need "to reinstate an SAT/ACT requirement." That requirement was, however, banished mostly because it stood in the way of favoritism in admissions.

Many jobs today don’t even require a college degree. You can get some specialized training where your kid doesn’t have to admit his “whiteness” or loathing for the Jews. So long as you can beat out the Indian HB-1 scam, your in. There are also very well paying blue collar jobs on the trades.

37 There is something deeper here that is not mentioned.

I think the admissions became more subjective, allowing the admissions committee more opportunity to reject based on ... well based on them hating anyone that might be white.

So they "unbiased" the system, but the application reviewers are letting their hate out more.

Justice Department Sues Harvard University for Withholding Race-Related Admissions Documents

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division (DOJ) filed a lawsuit today against Harvard University (Harvard), accusing Harvard of unlawfully withholding from the United States admissions data information necessary to determine whether Harvard is continuing to discriminate in its admissions process, even after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.

This is all of a piece with Newspeak in 1984. Continually shrinking peoples' vocabulary hinders the ability to formulate and express thought. Normalizing and teaching ghetto retardspeak accelerates the process. The inability to string an intelligible sentence together isn't a manifestation of "white supremacy" it's absolute necessary to individuation, self-expression, and independent thought. Which is why they want to get rid of it.

I think it is almost impossible. They rank applications based on more than just SAT. If it is just SAT, there is evidence but they are careful that it is not that. They will claim they wanted a "well rounded" application for admittance. Unless the DOJ demands quotas, but that can't work either. The system is fucked because society is fucked. Cut them off -- no government funding for anything, and tax those buildings too.

70 Simple solution to all the admissions problems.

1) Everyone takes the SAT.
2) SAT scores are submitted to the college.
3) Top 20% get automatic admissions.
4) Bottom 60% rejected.
5) Middle 20% go into a lottery, where the students are selected at random.

There you go - people likely to fail are not allowed in, and people likely to succeed are allowed in. In the middle, well, it's random, and hence perfectly fair. No essays, no legacy admissions, no DEI, no interviews, no extracurricular garbage, and your (inflated) grades don't matter.

By the way, the SAT has been shown to be an overwhelmingly good predictor of college success.

It's interesting to me that the left is trying to elevate an accent/dialect simply because it is spoken by black people.

When Asian immigrants write english, they have no trouble with their l's or r's.
When Southerners write english, they don' drop their t's or add an r to words with an a in them or drop r's at the end of words.
When Bostonians write english, they don't add extra a's to words.

But somehow the Black dialect needs to be written. It's almost as though the white people pushing this think black people are incapable of learning proper english. Just like the white supremacists think.

It’s exactly that. Go search out some of the “countering whiteness” guides and posters. It’s literally the same stuff as used to come from slaveowners: it’s whiteness to care about the future, to care about family, to understand cause and effect, to reason. They literally deny the humanity of non-whites.

If only whites can make decisions, who will make decisions for non-whites? They will, of course. And you can see it every time some white liberal calls out a black, or a hispanic, or anyone else for not being a true black, etc.

The Trump regimes attacks on Harvard have failed so far. So they just keep trying to destroy one of the leading academic institutions in the country.

They realize targeting race based admissions wouldn't increase white enrollment but Asian enrollment right?

154 I have a system for admissions I have worked on for decades.

1. Purely objective -- SAT, extracurricular, writing score, socioeconomic,... whatever. that can be worked out.

2. Federal oversight. Colleges must follow the score. Period.

3. OK, then what to do if you want more minorities? Well, allow (encourage) schools to set up farm leagues -- start at kindergarten if they think that works. Have Harvard (Berkeley, MIT, Yale, ....) run k-12 schools in the inner city. Let them admit based on whatever they like - race, inability to speak proper English, rap skills, bussin grills,,... whatever. Train those kids to do well on the score. Remover their disadvantage. That means in 12 years they should have good students capable of admission. If they can't do it, then that tells us something. If they can, it tells us how to improve our public schools to help everyone.

Distraught family blasts Canada for euthanizing son, 26, who suffered from 'seasonal depression'

By KELLY GARINO, US REPORTER

A family has accused Canada's laws of 'killing the disabled and vulnerable' months after their son, who suffered from seasonal depression, died by assisted suicide.

Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with Type 1 diabetes, died in December using Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, which allows patients with 'grievous and irremediable' medical conditions to request a lethal drug.

So he was blind and suffered from Type I diabetes, which I understand is quite treatable with injections. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)

So Canada deemed these maladies "grievous and irremediable" and performed yet another Doctor-Directed Murder.


Eligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and, pending parliamentary review, potentially individuals with certain mental health conditions.

Vafaeian faced mental health struggles stemming from a car accident at 17, and according to his mother, his depression often flared during the winter months.

For years, the family had successfully prevented their son from using the program. Last year, however, Dr Ellen Wiebe, a MAID provider in British Columbia, approved Vafaeian's death - news the family only learned about days later.

Vafaeian's mother, Margaret Marsilla of Ontario, alleged that Wiebe was 'coaching' her son on how to qualify as a Track 2 patient - those whose natural deaths aren't deemed 'reasonably imminent,' according to Fox News Digital.

'We believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for,' Marsilla told the outlet.


'''

...

Vafaeian's death certificate now lists the 'antecedent causes' of his assisted suicide as blindness, severe peripheral neuropathy - nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord that causes pain and numbness - and diabetes.

But his parents said his medical records did not back up the claim that 'severe peripheral neuropathy' was a qualifying factor for his assisted suicide.

'Realistically, safeguards for patients would be reaching out to their family members, giving them a whole bunch of different treatment options,' Marsilla told Fox.

She argued that doctors can approve and carry out euthanasia on Track 2 patients in just 90 days under the current system.

'How is that safe for patients?' she added.


Read the whole thing. Dr. Death is proud and cracks jokes about her murders:

In an interview with the Free Press, Wiebe joked that she had brought more than 1,000 babies into the world while also helping 'more than 500 patients die.'

She also described assisted suicide as 'the best work I've ever done.'

'I have a very strong, passionate desire for human rights,' Wiebe explained. 'I'm willing to take risks for human rights as I do for abortion.'

Canada is a world leader in killing the sad:

Canada has one of the highest rates of medically assisted deaths in the world, 5.1 percent, or a total of 16,499 deaths in 2024.


Obviously the same people who approve of child genital mutilations and consider abortion a religious sacrament will also support murdering the sick and sad.

Pardon the quickie blogging. I have a routine yearly doctor's appointment at a distant office and need to quickly write posts in advance to cover the time.

This exactly - Canada and socialized medicine will love to kill the chronically diseased, which many depression cases fall into, b/c they are the most expensive, long term, to the system. And if you're young and chronic, they want to rush you off b/c you could be decades of care...

44 Canada May Start Euthanizing Babies. The Quebec College of Physicians recently told the British newspaper Daily Mail that it believes “medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain” and that “parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant,”

The statement revives a debate that first erupted in 2022 when Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians appeared before Parliament’s Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying. Roy suggested the program could be considered for “babies from birth to one year of age” who are born with severe deformities or disabilities, Farrow reported.

In 2024 alone, there were 16,499 reported euthanasia deaths, bringing the total to 76,475 by year’s end, according to government data cited by Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. By early 2026, Schadenberg estimated at least 94,000 deaths since legalization.

90 I saw some comments above on Organ Donation. And, IMO, that's the primary motivation for the MAID program, only they screwed up. Only Nova Scotia has "Opt Out" organ donation. All the other provinces require you to sign up for Organ Donation. That's not to say that MAID participants aren't coerced into signing up before getting the needle. As of 2022, Canada was #1 in the world for organ donors orignating from an Euthanasia program.

BTW, the United Kingdom made all residents "OPT OUT" without debate or legislation about a year and a half ago. This year, they approved Euthanasia in that country. They didn't screw up. Look for the UK to overtake Canada as #1 on organ donation from a Euthanasia program shortly. Interestingly, China still considers Euthanasia illegal...at least outside of their concentration work camps.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has ended a practice that prevented veterans who can’t manage their finances from owning guns, a change officials say will restore constitutional rights to nearly 200,000 former service members.

The VA announced Tuesday it will immediately stop reporting veterans to the FBI’s national background check database if they need a fiduciary to help manage their benefits.

Proponents of the decades-old policy have said it protects veterans with mental impairments by limiting access to a lethal means of suicide. But major veteran advocacy groups and gun rights organizations have long argued the notifications weren’t based on thorough mental assessments and actually prevented veterans from seeking help for fear of losing their 2nd Amendment rights.

170 I'm a Type 1 diabetic.

I have been since I was 4 years old.

I'll turn 46 later this year.

With today's medicine and technology as far as CGMS systems and insulin pumps, combined with our better understanding of how the endocrine system works - its easier now to live as a Type 1 than it ever has been. Yes there are rough days, but there are many, many more good ones where I give thanks to God that I live in the day and age that I do. If I had been born even 20 yeas prior - I'd probably be looking at a life span of 50 years or less. Now, I'll be kicking well past my sell-by date.

The fact that this man was blind was probably a side effect of Type 1. I've had 6 eye surgeries/laser treatments to treat my diabetic retinopathy.

I'm going to put money on the table and bet that as a Canadian, this poor guy didn't have access ot the medicine, technology and healthcare facilities I did.

173 It’s not suicide when you kill someone or help them end their life. Especially if you help to convince them that suicide is the answer.

I have lost too many friends to suicide. It is the epitome of hopelessness. It is a dead end and final act of desperation. It is a failed attempt at giving people hope, of convincing them there is a life worth living. But it’s ultimately their choice, not yours.

Evil wears many faces. One of them is the disguise of compassion.

182 For example, the way I found out that I needed eye surgery was that I moved to a new state and I realized my vision was getting blurry. I went to the optometrist who did the standard tests. He took one look at an "OCT" scan of my eyeball and said "wait here". Got the Ophthalmologist from down the hall who was between patients. Said "you have diabetic retinopathy and not an insignificant case." I had been wondering what the floaters in my vision were all about. Anyways, the next DAY I was in the chair, getting PRP Argon Laser treatments which hurt like f*** but they saved my eyes. Later I got a vitrectomy. Again, sucked but I have eyesight.
I'm more than willing to bet that this guy didn't have access to that level of treatment that I did.

Posted by: tubal at February 18, 2026 04:11 PM (pDt9x)

Of course, it's gut wrenching. It's why none of us kids decided to convince my dad to keep going. But letting God decide the time gave us weeks to see him and all say goodbye and let go. And him sticking around let him see pics of his 1st grandkid, born 5 weeks early on Dec 8, the Immaculate Conception, and he died 3 days before her original due date, 1 month after her birth, which meant I could travel with her to the funeral (and she was the 1st great grandkid, too).

God's will had to play a part in that timing...

You dont have to use extraordinary means to sustain life if you have a problem like that. But i dont think getting hit on the head so they can throw you onto the cart is a good solution. Whether you ask someone to do it, or someone else does it to you. You can get pain killers and anxiolytics if you need them. Ultimately it is usually a neurotic control issue. You lost control over your life, and you want to reassert while you can. However one's sense of control while well is an illusion anyway. That lesson is hard learned, and harder unlearned.

311 Canadians need to take more Vitamin D during their six month winters.

So, I just went to verify that D is over the counter in Canada (assumed it was, but never assume about Canada) and got this AI response:

“Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a crucial supplement for Canadians, especially from October to March due to limited sun exposure, aiding in immune function and bone health. Health Canada recommends daily supplementation for most, particularly during winter, with popular brands including Jamieson, Webber Naturals, and Kirkland Signature.”

So you can self-medicate with Jamieson or Jameson. Or the truly healing power of “and”.

There are times, and this is one, when I really wish Dr. Thomas Szasz hadn’t gone quite so far off the deep end on the non-existence of psychological disorders. Because he made some very good points about exactly this back when it could have been more easily fought.

Unable or unwilling to bear the inexorable tragedies of the human condition, people now seek solace in the utopian claims of psychiatry concerning the causes and cures of everything “bad” the human heart is heir to.—Thomas Szasz, Omni, March, 1980.

Investigators found the forced birth control continued into the '90s.

Norway officially stopped their sterilization of the Saami in 1977, which was a very big deal because the government had a eugenics policy against them since the '40s or so.

I like to throw that in the face of the Danes and the Norwegians who try the "you mistreated the Native Americans in the 1900s" crap.

Democrat Snake Ted Lieu: The Epstein Files, Which Are Filled with Disproven False Tips About Everyone, Show That Trump was Raping Children

Investigatory files are full of false claims. The cops don't just receive valid leads, of course. They receive a lot of absolute nonsense "tips," which is why you always hear the cliched line in a movie about a gruesome murder, "We don't want the press getting a hold of this." Because they know their phone lines will be jammed with the hallucinations of attention-whores and schizophrenics.


The Epstein files are likewise filled with a lot of absolute garbage. Particularly because left-wing lunatics took the opportunity to flood the FBI and police with a ton of a completely-fabricated (or completely-hallucinated) claims that Donald Trump was raping everyone.

Raping who?

Raping EV-ER-Y-ONE!

Thanks to the great work of Thomas Massie and MTG, the Democrats are now paging through completely fake "tips" and claiming they're all real:

Shipwreckedcrew

Told ya so.

To all the brain-dead MAGA that have been one-note simpletons on "Release the Epstein Files"....

Jamie Raskin and Ted Lieu now to the national and international media ....

"The Epstein files show President Trump raped little girls."

Like the sun rising in the morning.

Democrats have absolutely no limit in their consciences about what they will and will not say in pursuit of the goal of seeing Pres. Trump driven from office.

This has been true since the summer of 2016, and they have never wavered.

Massie, Mace, MTG, and Boebert -- too stupid for words.

It's time to stop being upset or mad that any republican wanted to release the files. It was damned if we did, damned if we didn't.

The problem is the hundreds of DOJ lawyers who are solely dedicated to following redaction rules to be able to release the files at all.

27 As we expected the Epstein files are mostly full of leftwing celebs and pols associating with Epstein. From Gates to Clinton to Biden/Harris (through Ruemmeler)

But...here's the mistake that right leaning office holders are making...

Most people won't read the emails or the GJ testimony. So when normies here the actual results AND the left going on about Trump they assume both are true.

To fix this you have to start prosecuting the actual people working with Epstein. And you know what...if you don't have a perfect case Bondi and the rest do it anyway. Let Bill Clinton go on trial and be found innocent. Why? Because those normies barely paying attention are going to assume the fix was in but notice only Dems are being charged...

>BBC, Hillary Clinton accuses Trump administration of Epstein files 'cover-up' in BBC interview, 1 day ago

Lengthy article. In part,
"In relation to the allegations against Trump, the DoJ has previously said: "Some docs contain untrue and sensationalist claims against Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear the claims are unfounded and false and if they have any shred of credibility they certainly would have been weaponized against Trump already."

Here's the thing:

Epstein has always been an online only obsession without any real political influence.

Trump mentioned the Epstein files like once in the entire campaign. And it was reactive. "Oh, sure, we can look into that."

People didn't vote for Trump in any material numbers because of the Epstein files. It's Russian collusion again, but with less cross-party support.

And Russian collusion worked so well that they did covid after which they mail in ballot cheated for months after which they shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely beat him in the electoral college.

First I would have them admit that Amnesty International is a reliable source. (Easy, because it leans far left.)

Then find the AI statement that up to 60% of females were raped on the journey.

When Biden was letting in 250,000 people a month, I would say that was at least 100,000 women, right?

The math then says 60,000 rapes per month.

So...assuming SC had one other future president, then the correct answer is 22 if you credit NC with Jackson.

UNLESS SC didn't produce any other presidents, in which case the correct answer remains 21 states were the birthplaces of future presidents.

Some of this information is clearly criminal and immoral. Words and videos of criminal and immoral acts that I think would infuriate most people if they knew of it. Some of it is self incriminating, emails from perpetrators stating these acts. The DOJ has redacted the names of the senders of these emails. Why?

Is the DOJ going to bring these people to justice? Are the hiding the names for prosecution reasons or are they hiding the names to protect them?

One person who is getting a lot of fallout from the Epstein files is Reid Hoffman. Apparently, he was very tight with Epstein, stayed at his place in Manhattan, St Thomas and on the ranch in New Mexico.

And he was the guy who funded the fake E Jean Carroll rape bullshit among other things.

No way anything actually true and incriminating is left. Then throw in the intel op/honey trap and misinfo gets piled on by the truck load to discredit anything.

If our intel was in on it, they're out of line. If our intel wasn't in on it, they failed to address so many prominent Americans from being compromised.

Yup.
They already ran that play in TX on the Antifa.
The black cow defense attorney wore a t-shirt with the pictures of MLK and other civil rights "leaders" along with pictures of the defendants during voir dire.

"Oh I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that!" she lied after she later turned her shirt inside-out.

The judge had to declare a mistrial. And is pissed.

But here's where the left is going to realize you don't fuck with the judge and his trial:
He's already told her "we're going to have a show-cause hearing after this is over" to see if I should hold you in contempt and refer you for sanctions.

Hint: Make sure your E&O premium is paid up, bitch.

And oh yeah, there are laws on the books that lying in voir dire to hide your intent to enact jury nullification is a crime.

1) you don't ever get to show a jury anything unless it's cleared by the judge.
2) and no where ever under any rule are you allowed to do that to the voir dire panel.

Judge was like, I don't know what kind of stupid shit you are used to pulling in state court, but we don't do that here at all.

Again: He's going to hold her in contempt after the trial--he's not going to let the defendant's weasel out another long delay by claiming they don't have an attorney.
And, he's going to have her referred for discipline by the state bar. And they will jump however high the judge says.

"The arguments resumed later in the episode, when O’Leary used his final word to tell the panel they’re "all nuts."

Navarro and O’Leary continued to argue until Phillip eventually told O’Leary, "If you don't have anything to say, just say that. I won't come to you next time.""

197 The Massholes have been getting desperate the last week. They started using bots to try and flood Community Notes with the most ridiculous drivel imaginable.

They've been crashing out hard because all this crap has done is give the Democrats that were actually diddling kiddies on the island cover to lie about it.

They PURPOSEFULLY voted down amendments keeping people like the 4 in the photo lineup redacted, to purposefully flood the zone with literally everybody 'on the list' to protect themselves.

And RINO Massie was only too happy to go along with it.

Now he's spewing the exact Democrat talking point of THE EPSTEIN ADMINISTRATION.

He's a piece of crap, and anybody that STILL supports him after this is a piece of crap too.

The incident occurred at a Monday press conference in Budapest with Rubio and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, according to Townhall.

In a clip posted Tuesday to the social media platform X, Escritt, in a failed attempt at subtlety, kept his arms down and, while seated, raised the middle finger on both hands as he casually twirled and pointed them in Rubio's direction."

Democrats Demand Censure for Congressman Randy Fine Due to His Protection of Dogs From Arrogant Foreign Colonizers

Breitbart:


Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam's 7th-century hatred of man's best friend, dogs.

Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani -- who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.

"NYC is coming to Islam," said a February 12 tweet from Kiswani, referring to the November electoral victory of Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan-born, Indian-origin, immigrant, populist, and Muslim Mayor of New York. She added:

Kiswani responded to many critics: "Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something. It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you're not cleaning it."

Fine responded three days later, on February 15: "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one."

Many Democrats immediately accused Fine of racism and bigotry.

"We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reacted. "Fine must be censured."

After thousands of users pointed out that Khanna was clearly missing the context of Fine's post, he tried again: "Taking an alleged comment by one person and attributing it to everyone who shares that person's faith is the definition of bigotry," he stated.

Fine mocked Khanna's wording of "an alleged comment," as there was no disputing that Kiswani's statement was publicly posted. "Perhaps you should have read it before spouting off like an idiot," the Congressman quipped.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) lamented that Fine's "Islamophobic" comment is "incredibly damaging to Jews trying to combat antisemitism."

"America is BETTER because of our Muslim community," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrote. "And we are WORSE when assholes like this guy spout hate."

"This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) vented. "Fine should be censured & stripped of committees."

Fine's November opponent, Jennifer Jenkins, responded, "I'm running to kick that bigot out of Washington."

They're plotting to force a censure vote.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Chip Roy vows to oppose any Democrat effort to censure Rep. Randy Fine after Fine stood firm in defense of Americans' right to own dogs.

The left is furious, but Roy says he won't back down.

Will Chamberlain predicted that softhand cucked "Republicans" will go along with this. They will virtue signal their adherence to the left-wing Gay Race Communism agenda, while having previously refused to vote for censures of Ilhan "Omar" Nur and Epstein PR manager Stacey Plaskett, among others.

Granny Groyper won't say anything about Candace Owens accusing Erika Kirk of murdering her husband or, now, that she's a secret groomer and sex trafficker, but she did freak out like a good AWFUL (which is all she's ever been) when Randy Fine said that if Muslims want to ban dogs, we'll chose dogs over Muslims 11 times out of ten:

grannygroypersleeping.jpg

Granny Groyper claims "I'm not the internet's mother" when it's pointed out she continues protecting Candace Owens, but she also plays the Internet's AWFUL Mother whenever a dirty low-class conservative says a bad word.

She's executed the full Tucker Carlson "Muslims are our almost-Christian frenz, Jews are the real terrorist" flip-flop.

34 I say it again.

The goal is to get the target society to bend to their will. The camel's nose under the tent.

Banning dogs is the first step, their damn speakers 5 times a day is the second. With the two of them, they claim that land as under their control. They have a very refined strategy of conquest and this is how it starts.

The fact that there is such pushback means that it is important to them (over the target). Dogs are very common in many muslim countries, it is not that they hate dogs, or pork, or women's hair,.... it is that these things are an easy first step. A way to divide the target country and get their issues on the forefront, define who will bow to their demands, and justify simple changes to the target society "to be more welcoming."

73 Now if the muzzies had only said we had to ban the gays from our cities, I would be torn.

Think about that -- in Iran, being gay is so forbidden that they trans them (cut off their dick) or throw them off buildings (their choice) and there are many feral dogs in the country. But here they want to ban dogs in Western cities.

Do you see what they are doing? The tolerate gays in the West because they see that as destructive to the target country. They want dogs out because it is a way to assert control and force compliance. Also, dogs are effective defense by women against rape and attack. Think about it.

They go to their meetings of Friday and come out ready to find insult wherever they can. They are told to tolerate the gays because it is destructive to the society, but find any other insult and use that to cry "victim" and demand "tolerance." This is programmed in them from the mosque funders in S. A. and Qatar.

75 Whether Americans like dogs or not is beside the point. This is what Muslims do in every country they invade. They find allies like the smooth brains on the left and start demanding the local culture cater to their demands. They won't stop at dogs. They are already blasting the call to prayer multiple times per day in NYC.

The answer is no. No to any demands coming from Muslims and if you don't like get the fuck out. In fact, just get the fuck out no matter what. Islam is not compatible with the west.

It's not even really fasting. It's not eating in the day, like many working people. Once sundown comes, they pig out all night long.

Ramadan is the only 'religious' fasting period where one gains weight.

90 Nope. No proceeding with censuring Fine over that.

Wikipedia, in part: Randall Adam Fine[3] was born on April 20, 1974[4] in a Jewish family in Tucson, Arizona.[5][4] Fine's father, H. Alan Fine, a graduate of MIT, was a professor of engineering at the University of Kentucky.[6][7] His mother, Harriet, who had been a junior high school science teacher, died in 2024 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease.[8][9]
---
"We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reacted. "Fine must be censured. It’s about morality and decency, not politics.”

Khanna and others are defending this & his other BS? > "Kiswani responded to many critics: "Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something."

If Ro Khanna and others are going to defend, I want to see & hear them defend that ^ too.

I still think the theory that women are trailing indicators of the movement of cultures is more right than wrong.

They are defenders of established moral orders, and when that order is threatened with change, they become the most vocal in defending it.

So, the louder the women, the more in decay the moral order they are defending is.

172 Truthout

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined Khanna’s call to censure Fine.

“This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official,” she wrote. “It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured and stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.”

Pretend NYC resident, racist, & commie.

Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) argued that Fine’s statement “is what it looks like when Islamophobia and outrage are the only two items on your political agenda,” and demanded that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issue a formal condemnation.

('Menendez bribery trial witness details Egyptian halal beef monopoly scheme.')

Jennifer Jenkins, a Democrat RUNNING AGAINST Fine in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, said that censuring the Republican lawmaker was not enough. (Emphasis mine.)

263 You will find a lot of muslims were given a choice to convert or die at some point. It is the undeniable history and there are entire regions or countries for whom this is the reality. They were told never to question it. To never go against it or they would be ostracized and worse.

Now, many of those societies are questioning how they went from being Christian or other religions, to islam. They are discovering this forced conversion in their genealogy and leaving it. In this day and age, in most democratic countries, you cannot enslave people to a cult.

The term "Islamophobic" is really starting to piss me off. I don't have an "irrational fear" of Islam. I just don't like it. I'd go so far as to say I hate the concept and the embellishment/ misrepresentation of it's origin and fundamental basis.

Can we, at least, clear that up so there is no misunderstanding? If you are going to slap a suffix on Islam, make it accurate and clarifying.

"Islammisia" is more correct. "misia" derived from the Greek "misos" (hatred) is acceptable. They skip to the term that mean bigotry (Islamophobic) to avoid the substance of their beliefs. That's manipulative, and false.

Nope. He's a lightweight right now.

A post from this morning Daily Tech News:

151 Mamdani's a lightweight.
Delaware County (Delco), PA, approved a 19% property tax hike for 2026, marking the second consecutive year of double-digit increases after a 23% raise in 2025. These hikes, totaling over 40% in just two years, are driven by the depletion of federal COVID-19 relief funds, a structural budget deficit, and rising costs.

Plus astounding legal costs, corporation development & those payrolls & benefits, and buying & maintaining EVs.

They used to sleep under the dinner table in the evening. The reason was that Kuvasz have a special resin that keeps their fur white. Hungarians would use them as a napkin of sorts to clean their hands of greasy food. Kuvasz weren't unclean. They were quite the opposite. Good breed...smart, gentle, and agile for their size.

The development comes weeks after voters elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Online commentators linked the broadcasts to the city’s changing political leadership, though reports indicate that permission for certain outdoor call-to-prayer broadcasts began under former Mayor Eric Adams in 2023.

Leftwing Media 2-in-1 Post: CNN's Low-IQ DEI Propagandist Abby Philip Defends AOC's Performance By Saying "Buh Trump;"
Steven Colbert Caught in Lie About CBS Censoring Him

aochotdogs2.jpg

That's from my first but not last experiment with Grok's AI image creator.


Stephen Colbert and Fake Christian James Talarico are engaged in a joint psyop to convince Democrats that Talarico's the candidate who can actually defeat beat the Republican candidate. (I erroneously said he was running against Ted Cruz yesterday; the candidate will be Cornyn or Ken Paxton or Wesley Hunt.)

The Democrat partisan Colbert has decided that Jasmine Ratchet is a sure loser who will drag the entire Democrat Party down -- no lies detected there -- so he's vigorously promoting Talarico and pushing a conspiracy theory that CBS and the FCC are trying to keep him off the air because he's such a threat to The Man.

Theo Wold
@RealTheoWold

20h

A neat little trick here from Talarico and Colbert

Federal law since 1932 has required broadcast media to give equal time to competing political candidates, but Colbert wanted to platform only Talarico and not his other opponents.

So, he interviews Talarico but releases the video only online. Everyone who sees it thinks it aired on the show, Colbert doesn't have to give equal time, and since he has virtually no TV viewers anyway, he still reaches his maximum audience.

Meanwhile, Talarico falsely claims that he's being censored and gets free publicity two weeks out from his primary election by claiming that almost a century of federal law is somehow President Trump's fault.

An ingenious way of getting around the law indeed...

Because Colbert is attacking the network, CBS was forced to defend itself from Colbert's self-serving, partisan-motivated lies:

Brian Stelter
@brianstelter

This just in from CBS: "THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options."


Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

🚨 BREAKING: CBS just called out their OWN HOST, Stephen Colbert, and Dem. Senate candidate James Talarico for LYING by claiming Trump's FCC BLOCKED their interview from airing on TV

In a statement, CBS said Colbert "was NOT prohibited from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled."

So Colbert didn't want to have Jasmine Crockett on, so he made up an excuse saying the FCC barred his interview.

What a loser 🤣

You know who confirms this version of events? Jasmine Ratchet herself, who was told by CBS they had instructed Colbert he should have her on in the interests of equal time, but Colbert never called her to arrange it:




For the first time in my adult life, I believe Jasmine Ratchet.

Colbert's show was cancelled due to losing the network $100 million per year, but was allowed to continue through May so as not to incur the wrath of the left.

Guess what? The scorpion left pierced the frog carrying it across the river:

Colbert continues to attack them even as his ratings fall to the lowest levels ever:


The Stephen Colbert ratings freefall has reached an undeniable breaking point. As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its already-announced cancellation, the program is now posting record-low January numbers, marking one of the steepest late-night declines in recent television history.

According to Nielsen data reported this week, Colbert's show is averaging roughly 285,000 viewers in the crucial 25--54 demographic, putting it on track for its worst January performance ever in the category that advertisers actually care about. With just months left before the curtain closes for good, the ratings trajectory suggests viewers have been checking out long before CBS formally pulled the plug.


(Thanks to Beege Wellborn.)

How much more of this does CBS put up with, as Colbert attacks them to drive up interest in his coming "Colbert Unchained" (or whatever) podcast? At what point do they pull him off the air?

Happy Wednesday!

The Man Show was about 95% Carolla. Kimmel's one semi-funny contribution was the Yokozuna. Kimmel and Carolla were in Kimmel's brother's apartment and the brother was laying on the La-Z-Boy napping. So Kimmel drops his pants and chonies and jumps on, rubbing his bare squeekhole on his sleeping brother's face.

That was the Yokozuna.

154 No douchebag has been around forever.

Wow, you are correct. The intertubes is a wonderful thing.

The term douchenozzle (often written as "douche nozzle" or "douche-nozzle") is a relatively modern slang insult, essentially a playful or exaggerated variation on the older term "douchebag" (meaning a contemptible, arrogant, or obnoxious person, with "douchebag" dating back to at least the 1940s–1950s in pejorative use).
It combines "douche" (from the pejorative slang) with "nozzle" (referring to the actual inserted part of a douche device), implying something like "the pointy/annoying part that delivers the douche." It's not a literal term for the device in most slang contexts—it's purely derogatory.
The earliest widely documented appearance of "douchenozzle" as an insult comes from around 2003, when it first showed up on Urban Dictionary. That's the point where it entered broader internet slang and meme culture. Some sources trace the "-nozzle" twist as part of a wave of creative "douche-" compounds (like douchecanoe, doucheface, etc.) that gained traction in the early-to-mid 2000s online

The white progressive activist base NEEDS Talarico to win to tell them that they have influence in the party at any level. Blacks are only 13% of the TX population. They shouldn't be able to spoil their great chance at winning the TX Senate race! (Talarico has no chance.)

It'll feed the energy of the 2028 Democrat primary in ways that will be...fascinating to watch.

197 I could absolutely get behind AOC for President, someday. But it's too soon. The establishment will never back her, and we saw how they sabotaged Bernie. Until the old guard is eliminated, all it will do is divide the Left, and we can't afford that.

Strange how we had to elect unlikable corporate puppets that are female like Harris and Hillary but if we want to put up a likable progressive, it's, oh we can't vote for a woman because conservatives.

she’s got balls but needs more experience before being the leading Dem. Maybe another 4-8 years and we’ll see.

What’s not to love. She is brilliant and so eloquent. She should replace Hakim Jeffries as house leader. He snapped again yesterday when asked if he’ll take AIPAC $.

She didn’t fumble anything. Other than the equator thing which is easy to do, she was correct. Trump in front of millions and said people were eating cats and dogs. Why do people expect democrats to be perfect?

So funny, their guy can talk for 20min. about a golfers dick, but AOC cant stutter a sec. AOC is an American hero and represents the best of us!

Its decision followed multiple protests since it moved to Denver in 2020 from Palo Alto, due to cultural and ideological differences, according to the Denver Post. Protests have targeted the company’s support of the Israeli military and more recently its work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement by using artificial intelligence to identify targets for deportation.

(In part) BREAKING: Stephen Colbert destroys CBS's damage control lies about the cancellation of his James Talarico interview and says that he's "so surprised that this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies."
He wasn't about to let them slither off the hook...
"They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers, who, for the record, approve every script that goes on the air,” Colbert said on his show last night.
“In fact, between the monologue I did last night, and before I did the second act talking about this issue, I had to go backstage,” he went on. “I got called backstage to get more notes from these lawyers. Something that had never, ever happened before.”
On Monday night, the late night host revealed that the network's attorneys had informed him "in no uncertain terms" that he "could not have [Talarico] on the broadcast." Talarico is a charismatic Texas State Representative running for a Senate seat and Republicans are terrified that he might flip the state. To avoid angering Trump and his ludicrously corrupt FCC lapdog Brendan Carr — a man who has displayed a terrifying willingness

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at February 18, 2026 01:17 PM (NFX2v)

267 to go after free speech to entrench the MAGA agenda — CBS blocked the interview.
“Not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” Colbert said at the time. “And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”
The issue at hand is the FCC's “equal time” rule which requires broadcast stations to give equal airtime to opposing political candidates. There has always been an exception to the rule for talk shows, but Carr has indicated that he may gut that exception. CBS chose to proactively cave to avoid a showdown with him.
“We looked, and we can’t find one example of this rule being enforced for any talk show interview — not only for my entire late-night career, but for anyone’s late-night career, going back to the 1960s,” Colbert said last night.
The backlash to the interview blockade was widespread and swift. Americans were horrified by the blatant attack on the First Amendment. CBS, which is owned by Paramount, rushed to save face by insisting that they had not spiked the segment, but of course they have an incentive to lie to protect their corporate profits.

Much more follows.

3 largest black counties made up 40.1% of the total Dem primary vote yesterday.

In 2008 with record black turnout in Texas for Barack Obama these 3 counties were 31.2% of the vote.

Let's be honest here: 18 years of Democrats telling white people that they suck and aren't welcome in the party is just making the black vote more powerful in intraparty Democrat politics.

While the biggest black counties in Texas are running at Obama 2008 levels of turnout.

The betting markets are not nearly big enough to be awed as "the wisdom of crowds". They are predominantly white progressives who buy any white progressive aligned narrative that pops up.

Bad Actors

Last week marked a major film festival in Germany, called the Berlinale. It has been particularly interesting this year, given the major cultural and political shift through which we're living. Everyone has come to expect political grandstanding at any event by and for the media. Actors, directors and producers historically adore delivering stern political lectures to the hoi polloi. You can usually set your watch by it. Whatever the issue, some loudmouthed celebrity will wax retardedly about it.

But Berlinale has been interesting because it shows a major shift in how these things go. First, a number of the apparently smarter actors have started to just refuse to engage. This started slowly years ago when one of the smarter (or perhaps just the worst-burned) of the Hollywood actors - Brie Larson - refused to wade into politics when a reporter at Cannes asked her about the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. This is becoming more a theme at this year's Berlinale.

The festival's jury president declared that they ought to consider shutting up about politics:

"We have to stay out of politics," Wenders replied. "If we make movies that are dedicatedly political, we enter the field of politics. But we are the counterweight to politics."
There was, of course, "backlash" and most of it not from the industry people who were there. It came from the real bad actors there. Take these quotes, and consider what is not being said by The Hollywood Reporter.
This year, however, politics threatens to overwhelm the festival itself. In press conference after press conference, talent has found itself fielding questions less about their films than about Gaza, German state funding and the return of Donald Trump to the White House. What was once a forum for engaged -- sometimes heated -- debate has, critics argue, become a stage for viral confrontation.
Neil Patrick Harris, in Berlin with the Generation title Sunny Dancer, faced pointed questions about American democracy and healthcare systems. "While I have my own political opinions," Harris said, "I never read this script as a political statement."
Honorary Golden Bear recipient Michelle Yeoh was pressed within minutes of her official press conference about the U.S. political landscape. "I don't think I am in the position to really talk about the political situation in the U.S.," she said, pivoting back to cinema.
What is missing from each of those descriptions? The actual point is clear in that actors and the like are increasingly refusing to answer nakedly political questions that often have no relevance to their work - but what The Hollywood Reporter leaves out is why this is coming up in the first place. There is another party in all this: journalists.

Many actors aren't talking politics of their own accord, they're being cornered by reporters. Re-read those excerpts above, and this time put the unmentioned second party into it. For example:

Neil Patrick Harris, in Berlin with the Generation title Sunny Dancer, faced pointed questions from journalists about American democracy and healthcare systems. ...
or:
This year, however, politics threatens to overwhelm the festival itself. In press conference after press conference, talent has found itself fielding questions from journalists less about ...
This is what the coverage leaves out. For the first time in recent memory, some movie actors and others in the industry actually want to "shut up and sing." This is probably because they're tired of being constantly pilloried by the masses and seeing their projects fail, but I don't much care about the reason. It isn't generally true - not yet, anyway - but a lot of actors have apparently learned to just not do it. These are the people who are among the the most stupid and vain people on earth, and even they are starting to figure it out.

But as a group, they are still much smarter and much less vain - and somehow, less ideological - than journalists. The journalists are the ones putting Current Moment Politics front-and-center at every Berlinale event. Plenty of movie people are, too, of course - there are still loads of retarded cretins on the industry side of things - but the journalists are the ones forcing the issue at every opportunity, peppering the industry people with irrelevant political questions and then berating them if they choose not to answer or don't answer will full-throated support for the journalist's position. For all the excesses of Hollywood's political insanity and stupidity, they have nothing on journalism.

Even the director of the festival eventually had to an issue a statement in an attempt to make the point that blasting actors and directors with political questions and then getting enraged when they decline to answer is not evidence of a failure of "free speech" and is wildly inappropriate:

In a statement, Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle noted that "people have called for free speech at the Berlinale. Free speech is happening at the Berlinale. But increasingly, filmmakers are expected to answer any question put to them. They are criticized if they do not answer. They are criticized if they answer and we do not like what they say. They are criticized if they cannot compress complex thoughts into a brief sound bite when a microphone is placed in front of them when they thought they were speaking about something else."
Like The Hollywood Reporter, she didn't have the backbone to call out the journalists directly, but they are the ones doing these aggressive political interrogations at what is supposed to be an industrial convention.

As you might expect at a film festival, there are plenty of people screaming their left-wing politics - but to find the highest concentration of bad actors, you need to look not at the stage, but at the press pool.

41 I always thought Hollywood and the music biz more or less forced the issue, a condition of employment. Or at least future employment.

In the military, for career minded, there is an obligation to do certain things. It isn’t written down anywhere.

But everyone knows, including your spouse, what you gotta do. “Extra duties”. You will get involved in those things, it just comes with the territory. A deployed family support group network, that kind of thing.

I always figured they had a List Of Approved Causes for Hollywood stars. The “Environment” “Sex Pervert Rights” “Hate Whitey” etc.etc.

Why should anyone care more about an actor's view on politics then they do their plumber?
Posted by: 18-1 at February 18, 2026 11:04 AM (sKqQm)



Modern Western Civilization doesn't need actors, at best they are a non-essential luxury. Plumbers however, they are probably the most important builders of civilization in the world.

Clean water and indoor plumbing means that humanity at least has a chance at building liberty and a prosperous society, because the population stays healthy enough to build wealth. When you are lucky to live past 40 before dying of cholera or dysentery from drinking contaminated water, you have little incentive to build a lasting civilization.

52 >>>There was, of course, "backlash" and most of it not from the industry people who were there.

This is where the true value of AI enters. Sure, economic pressure from low ratings and low attendance is a nice counterweight to rampant political self-clowning that nobody GAF about. Add in the potential to be completely displaced by an AI that nobody has any affinity or loyalty to, and that has to have them absolutely terrified for the prospect of their charmed lives.

JD Vance was one of those Republicans. IMO there was very good reasons to doubt Trump based on his past statements and associations.

But the masks came off after he established his conservative conversion after he was elected. The fake conservatives remained TDS NeverTrumpers and people like Vance, Rubio, Cruz and DeSantis joined the MAGA movement.

116 I've known a few people who tried to make it in the entertainment business, and at least one who's actually made it.

The thing I've observed about them is a complete abandonment of perspective: the art is everything.

That's how committed they are to their work. Outside of that, I think people can be really good at their chosen job or profession, without thinking that their job is everything. This is a good gig, and I'm good at it, but if I couldn't do this, I'd do something else.

Show folk aren't like that at all. Which is why it's so hard for normies to relate to them when they are talking unscripted to the public for movie promos and the like.

It must be incredibly liberating to entertainers to step away from talking about politics, especially if they truly believe their art is everything.

I'm hoping that the AI bubble will last long enough to kick start the small.modular nuke industry, and leave us with GW of excess power that we can use to actually make shit over the next 20 years.


I agree, which is why I've chosen not to invest in it right now. As with most hype cycles, there is peak frothiness (now) followed by a collapse, and a longer, slow recovery by those who have a real use case. Combine that with the fact that AI is making great leaps in capability, and it will, I think, be immensely valuable, but not in the next 1-2 years.

Virtue signaling ultimately requires surrendering such quaint notions of citizenship or being “provincial”. Along with everything else, including self-preservation. You might as well get a Lobotomy while you’re at it.

It’s the reason progressives often have a rather schizophrenic relationship with reality. They get all exercised about say, Methane levels on Ganymede, but don’t take care of their immediate family. It’s an inversion of what’s important.

122 Oh yes, the fight against systemic unconstitutional racism (i.e., DEI, "affirmative action" etc) has barely begun. Ditto anti-semitism. Across the board, but especially academia, the latter bigotry in particular.

The inertia against making durable changes when bad faith and institutional collapse prevail, in a context of general social degradation, is enormous.

In CA it took multiple referenda and other struggles to end affirmative action (or "bilingual education"), and they didn't end. The mindset of the racist-totalitarians is so alien, anti-American, and so bound up with intellectual mediocrity and self-dealing that ..... well, good luck.

135 Think entertainment reporters are worse than even sports reporters re: inserting politics into everything.

Entertainment journalists deal in gossip, some much more than others, and as such they have been the “mean girls” of woke gatekeeping. For example, Taylor Swift was apolitical for many years. It became a thing to confront her, to demand that she pick a side - as a successful woman it was her duty to speak out on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. They made sh$t up about her being secretly a nazi princess, the dream girl for the most bigoted out there. It was insane.


Yes, entertainers willingly engage in politics to enhance their image among their peers , but the ones who want to stay out of it are hounded and harassed relentlessly. And the army of AWFLs demands it, too.

An illegal alien attacked a woman walking on a Florida beach, held her under the water until he mistakenly believed he had drowned her, then threw away her phone and went to chill out by smoking weed and drinking vodka.

When police finally caught up with him, the foreign criminal did not express any remorse for his attempted murder. The woman survived, and, in fact, contacted authorities herself, but the man still believed he had murdered his victim at the time the sheriff’s office identified him.

Speaking of AI, I watched an interesting youtube vid last night by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. A prolific vid creator, he was approached by a sales guy for an AI content maker, and offered a free "AI enhanced" thumbnail for a then-new video, so he ran both his thumbnail and the AI version concurrently, and Youtube, for their own reasons tracked hits and watches for both versions of the same vid, both vids having the exact same content. By Yotube's metrics, the AI thumb drew more watches, but it also drew a huge number of negative comments from Ian's loyal fans, mostly along the lines of: "You have a real brand going there, Ian. AI? Don't go there." He's taken that to heart, and won't.

I know people who were snarky natural "conservatives", even right-wingers, who moved to the Beltway and within a decade were mewling apologists for that which they derided most of their lives. Amazing really. And in one case, his initial stories/experiences of working in the fed behemoth were exactly the sort of stuff he used to ridicule and loathe. His perspective was validated by experience.

209 Opinion fact, good question.

Context to note is that sewage issues, especially for south county beaches like Imperial, arising from Tijuana River effluent problems, go back decades. There have been previous crises, and World Bank (US $) aid to build Mexican waste management infrastructure. The recent event was apparently the result of a specific action taken during rehab or repair of a key hub.

Zeldin was here several months ago, but I don't think he issued a clarifying or significant statement on that matter (he met with Mexican counterparts). But I might have missed it.

In any case, I don't think the SEALs (BUDS) are still up in Oceanside for their water work. Back to homo (Coronado).

52 Ah, now I get it.....

Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Derby (c. 1759 – 23 April 1829), known as Elizabeth Farren, was an Irish actress of the late 18th century. She was born in Cork in 1759 to George Farren, a surgeon. His drinking habits brought on early death and his widow returned to Liverpool. Her mother went on the stage to support herself and her children. Elizabeth first appeared on the London stage in 1777

133 Elizabeth Farren (born about 1759, died 1829), Later Countess of Derby
Sir Thomas Lawrence British
1790
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628

The Irish actress Elizabeth Farren made her London debut in 1777 and soon became one of the most popular comic performers of the day.

Lawrence's "painting displeased the sitter, who asked the twenty-one-year-old artist to alter the depiction of her unfashionably slender figure." That explains the "sheen of satin and the plushness of fur."

But what had been attached to the gown or robe? It appears to be beaver carcass with bows.

154 Well, the lady is obviously into fur trim and such. I have no idea of this is a costume of some sort or a fashion. (If it's a fashion, it shouldn't be.) Lawrence did his usual superb job with the lady's face and pose with the skin tones and relaxed stance. His portraits typically are excellent. But the outfit, and her hair or wig, distract from the person.

I wonder if he did any landscapes. The sky and forest in the background are stunning.

CBD, thanks for introducing me to this artist. Portraits are not my favorite type of painting but Lawrence's are worthy of study and admiration.

Just a fur cape with silk lining, inside out. She is also holding a "muff" which is a fur tube women used to carry around like a dead cat and stick their hands in.

This is mostly a display of wealth, but notice that the painter is doing a display of skill -- this was very common in paintings of the era and I wish I knew more about it but the best I can do is tell you what I have observed. There are a lot of paintings of different fabrics, often ball gowns or household things like draperies, where the painter shows the shimmering and folds to make them look very realistic. I think it is an extension of artists loving to paint clouds, or trees, or other complex textures to develop skill, but with rich ladies they get paid better.

It's very pretty, I just wish he'd moved her a few inches up! If that's the full painting, and not cut off, the hem of her dress is too close to the bottom, and there's too much sky on top.

“Oh Christmas mink oh Christmas mink, how noisily you skitter!”

It goes on from there.

One year it vanished. I am sure my wife sent it to its final reward.

And this year my daughter found another one at an antique store a once again Christmas mink skittered in our tree!

The Morning Report — 2/18/26

JesJack.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, to paraphrase poet Ernest Lawrence Thayer, There is some joy in Hymietown for Jesse Jackson has checked out.

I'm somewhat surprised that I did not come across more notices/obits of the fish-eyed blackguard in my gathering up of the links for this morning. I assume that the usual house organs of the Leftist propanda machine will have hagiographies galore especially this weekend come the Sunday op-ed sections and TV news shows. He truly deserves a prominent position in the pantheon of this nation's worst citizens. His horrendous record is linked here at the invaluable Discover the Networks.

If ever there was a poster child for Divide & Conquer, it would be Jackson. It was, is and always will be the stock in trade of the Democrat Party and anti-American Left, and he was arguably one of, if not its most effective practitioners, as much of the societal dissolution and destruction that had its roots 60 or so years ago, that we are enduring unto this very day has his fingerprints all over it.

And that said, did President Trump really have to heap praise on him? Yeah, I get it, Jackson was a prominent figure among blacks, but surely he could've just come up with some boilerplate sentence of condolences to his family (including his bastard child) and a white lie (pun intended) about his achievements as a civil rights activist and left it at that.

Meanwhile, in the completely shocking news department, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, affectionately referred to by yours truly as Titty-Caca lives up to that moniker every time she opens her mouth to rattle those Donkey Chompers of hers and spout the most inane, inchoate idiotic stupidity. As she did con gusto in Munich.

Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invested months preparing for her highest-profile overseas trip, but when she arrived at the Munich Security Conference, the progressive lawmaker fumbled through basic foreign policy questions and is now faulting conservatives for the backlash. . . Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told The Hill that Ocasio-Cortez is “not ready for prime time on the international stage.”

“It was a beauty pageant to show that she had some chops about international issues, and she showed a complete lack of chops about international issues,” Sheinkopf said.

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald offered perhaps the sharpest critique. “Whoever convinced AOC that she had successfully completed her tutoring and was now ready to give book reports about foreign policy in public really should look for another line of work,” Greenwald said in a post on X.

Supposedly she is contemplating a run at the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028? While yes she's a blithering idiot, if she does indeed land at the top of the ticket or even in the Veep slot, her idiocy and insane worldview are in complete alignment with millions of voters that constitute the base and overwhelming majority of the Democrat Party. And having udders and being latina will only help to seal the deal. Now if only her redheaded pasty husband would turn tranny and/or come out of the closet and convert to Islam, she'd be a shoe-in, nein?


In other unsurprising news we have the completely corrupt judiciary shoving excrememnt down our throats and demanding we ask for seconds.

An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again ruled in favor of suspected gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia, giving him a lifeline he doesn't deserve.


Psaki-Psircling back to Jackson for a second, I remember when an open mic caught him in a fit of pique at the ourple-lipped dog-eater promising Al Sharpton that he'd cut Obama's nuts off!"


And speaking of dog-eaters and dog shit, if only the world could eradicate Islam.

Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani wrote: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report.

Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail.

The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.

But Jews and Nigerians and other Christians being slaughtered and crickets

Be nice to see PETA come to the defense of Randy Fine. Be nice if I won Powerball every week for the next 10 years or could go back in time and have a threesome with Raquel Welch and Ann Margret. Well at least those latter two are realistic unlike my first sentence.

Have a great day.

7 "If this matter were actually about the law or due process, Kilmar Abrego Garcia would already be deported and would never set foot in this country again; Judge Xinis will not be satisfied until he is authorized to live in the United States forever,”


The judge is doing this on purpose because she knows that she will never be called out by SCOTUS for her behavior. She is giving more due process to a criminal illegal alien than I would get if I was arrested.

59 One of the most stubborn facts in modern criminal justice is that repeat offending is not just an occasional occurrence. It is the norm. The Bureau of Justice Statistics tracked state prisoners released in 2005 and found that 68% were arrested again within three years, 79% within six years, and 83% within nine years. Over that nine-year period, those 401,288 released prisoners racked up nearly two million arrests -- about five arrests per released prisoner.

So Pajeet gets his diploma from the mill and heads to the US dragging along his wife. He gets a job, she gets a job. They then embark on making lots of anchor babies. Each kid is going to cost the tax payers at a bare minimum a quarter million dollars. She can't raise them herself and work so she brings in her parents and his parents. They get a loan to buy a large enough place to live, they write off everything on their taxes, their parents get on various public assistance programs or we pay them to watch the kids. Pajeet eventually gets promoted to hiring manager status and brings in his whole village. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

It takes a lot of concierge services by the government to coördinate all of the visas, the entitlements, the legal training to exploit the system, and to then trade the new residency into illegal votes for the Party Machine.

Yeah, it's stupid and lazy. It would have taken no work to memorize Hillary's vapid foreign-policy positions and parrot them. Or to simply criticize Trump's with the well-worn establishment talking points. But she's come of age in the land if The Daily Show, so she thinks making underinformed smartass remarks about cowboys is the way.

Not that it will matter. Last D national candidate was a cackling retard, and she still came within striking distance. Candidate quality does not matter.

Naomi Homs Cabezas, a Spanish national living in Bogota, NJ, was charged with manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to distribute heroin/cocaine on January 16, 2026, out of Hackensack NJ and is now facing DEPORTATION!

She was also charged with additional traffic offenses cited in Paterson, NJ, shortly after the Jan. 16 incident.

Imagine if the Leftists had their way, who were calling for Ms. Cabezas to be FREED back onto our STREETS as recently as YESTERDAY!

Thank Goodness JUSTICE will prevail and Ms. Cabezas will be DEPORTED and hopefully in PRISON. May God bless her son, who she clearly does not care very much about and the State may very well have to care for because of her alleged CRIMES.

A couple months ago there was a long video about foreign election interference.

Maduro's Venezuela figured prominently and the cartels had a hand in it too.

I'm betting that Maduro's capture had as much to do with all that as it did with his cartel connections.

not a single ICE agent has faced any charges or consequences for breaking just about every law you can think of. So this ruling means nothing.

Wow it's been a year with this guy already. I feel so bad for him and his family.

I really hope he is able to parlay this experience into some sort of long term finically security for him and his family. The story is honestly insane.

One change I've noticed over the last 20 years - it used to be an expectation that a politician could speak to the issues of the day off the cuff.

Yes they might give some socialist drivel or just repeating NYT talking points BUT this was the minimum expectation.

Now though? Pols like Harris can't express her own supposed views on politics on their own. And people on the left accept this.

I suspect this might be a Kremlin affect. Namely, the later Soviets didn't want one guy that could individually control the whole movement like Stalin did, and the modern left prefers to be led by a large group of oligarchs where no one individual is in complete control.

The point of government is to loot the taxpayers not whatever nominal services the government is supposed to be providing.

And I'll give you an example. A town near mine was facing a budget crises. The state had been giving them "emergency COVID funds" and eventually stopped. The town had used those funds to hire permanent bureaucrats. The town then offered the voters a choice, a massive tax increase or firiing a significant portion of the town's teachers.

People looked at the budget and found the new bureaucrats, for example a "sustainability engineer". Couldn't we cut those positions first? And the answer of course was...no. And people pointed out that this level of tax increase would be beyond the ability of people to pay...the response from the compassionate left? Then sell and move.

The voters did vote the tax increase down...amazingly since I live in a blue area BUT they voted all the same elected officials back in. Genius!

Molested at a young age by Hollywood.


There is a music video he is in by a musician named Sia.

In it LaBeauf and a 12 year old girl are in a cage wearing skin tight flesh colored bodysuits. And...LaBeauf wrestles with the girl.

Now, I believe the claimed idea of the video is some sort of self struggle because obviously a pre-teen girl imagines her problems in life as wrestling a 30ish year old male celebrity.

The more obvious way to view the video is an in your face "yeah we molest young actors/actresses what are you going to do about it?"

326 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

"Federal, OBAMA Hack-in-Black, rules Kilmar Abrego Garcia can’t be re-detained by immigration authorities"

Such a family man, such a family woman. He terrorized his now "wife" so she'd marry him when he was being held in custody. She places her two other special needs children, at least one reported to have autism, with that man and has another kid with him. And that child also has also been reported to have autism & hearing problems.

Case after case, an undocumented 'parent' on hold for deportation, and often one or more special needs children within the alleged 'family' circle.

Marrying for refuge is not unusual at all in the USA, and it's among all 'classes.' Marrying a U.S. citizen while an asylum case is pending can allow an applicant to apply for a green card.

Further, the (alleged) children of the undocumented who were (allegedly) born in the USA years ago are, or will be, petitioning for lawful permanent residence for their parents.

This is our country now. Probably only a matter of time until the Left & Chamber of Commerce introduces digital nomad visas for the USA.

Good day. 🤗

Top Story

  • Had an instructive argument with Grok today.

    Someone asked if a video was AI, and Grok said it indeed appeared to be fake. It was overlaid on a web page from The Hill and the article had no reference to the person in the video and indeed no video.

    Except the video was right there.

    Yet Grok swore blind that it didn't exist.

    Why?

    Because the video is copy protected and can only be viewed in a browser. Grok literally could not see it. And the reason the copy on Twitter was overlaid on a static web page is that the person who posted it took a screen recording to capture the video.


  • Meanwhile the third derivative of memory prices appears to be leveling off. (Tom's Hardware)

    Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.

    So there's that.

15 Isn't there some other law of surveys that they're almost entirely bimodal? You can even use that to check the validity of a survey, because if it looks like there is in fact a single mode around the mid-point/average, instead of two "hot spots" at the top and bottom, the responses are probably inorganic?

Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.

So there's that.



Steve at Hardware Unboxed tested some 'KingBank' branded DDR5 RAM (CL 40) that was ultimately made by CXMT out of China.

On a 9800X3D system the results were negligible for most games competing against faster RAM from Crucial and Kingston.

The prices, in Australia at least, were slightly cheaper but he says not to expect it to stay that way now that everybody is looking to get Chinese RAM for that very reason.

Posted by: m at February 18, 2026 05:15 AM (+YA9H)

29 So in an interesting twist for our sleep little town....

Last month there was a shocking fatal shooting of an 18 year old employee at a Sonics in our community at around 8:30 in the morning. We actually were caught up in the police response for it, as there was a lockdown of two nearby schools and a major thoroughfare where the Sonics was located.

Anyhow, just yesterday they announced the arrest of the suspect.

Intercepted at the Bali airport as he stepped off the plane on a temporary passport from the US.

Whatever was going on it involved the FBI, State Department, Interpol and who knows who else.

And the victim?

He was the targeted victim, and had been shot previously at another restaurant in another nearby small town much earlier. Somebody wanted this kid dead, and had the know-how to involve international travel as well.

39 For a time, anything labeled Western Electric, the really vintage stuff from the 20s and 30s, got good prices from collectors. Even the solder.

Sometime in the 1990s maybe a couple guys from Japan rented a van in the US, and armed with phonebooks made a roadtrip around the country hitting all the longtime Radio and TV repair shops still in business and cleaned out as many of the desirable audio vacuum tubes, which can garner a stupid money. There was one in my hometown up until the 2000s and he still had quite a bit of swag, though none of the old school audio output tubes.

Wayde Preston was pretty good in it.

He's in one of my favorite Maverick episodes; "The Saga of Waco Williams" where he plays Waco, who pretty much defeating the town boss (played by the ubiquitous R.G. Armstrong), while killing his son, and in the end impresses the man so much he encourages Waco to marry his daughter (played by a very young and attractive Louise Fletcher) because "I've never seen a man I thought was good enough for my daughter until you".

I'm pretty sure Wayde got the part in Colt 45 because of that one episode, as it's a highly-rated (8.8 on imdb) and the audience at the time loved it.

Police emphasized that Baker, despite being linked to prior incidents, was a hard-working young man.

“He was working two jobs, trying to make a living. That’s honorable,” Wright said. “This was a tragic situation, and our main focus is bringing closure to the family and the community.”


At another shooting at a Marcos, house was burgalrized, then shot & killed at the Sonic.

He was working, no doubt, but I see a kid dealing on the side, something went down and drugs or money went missing, they're looking for his money or drugs in the house, and then shot him for not paying up.

I could be wrong, but that fits the facts.

I think I saw it a couple of years back. Heroes & Icons used to have their "Good Guys at Sunrise" block starting at four am, Colt .45 and Maverick included with Cheyenne, Wanted Dead or Alive, Have Gun -- Will Travel, Rawhide, and High Chaparral.

Hartland had their "Gunfighters" series of standing TV Western character figurines, and Preston's Colt character was one of them, along with Paladin, Bret Maverick, Bat Masterson, and others. Looking on eBay, I see there were Johnny Yuma of The Rebel and Lucas McCain of The Rifleman. I never saw or had those!

Eat, sleep, commute, work, that's it. It smells really good. Used Andouille sausage and shrimp, added the usual for this kind of feast; celery, onion, bell pepper, tomato's, mushrooms, okra. Added red beans and rice. I've made Jambalaya before and it's fairly simple. Listening to a CD box set of various songs based in New Orleans, so jazz, zydeco, R&B, soul, ect. And that is about as Mardi Gras as I get. Don't expect much more from a Pennsyltuckian expat living in Babylon DC.

Kevin Dalton@TheKevinDalton . Feb 17

A day after celebrating the high-speed rail that is decades behind schedule and a hundred billion taxpayer dollars over budget with Gavin Newsom, the CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority was arrested for domestic violence.

This may have flown under the radar because this was the same day a large section of the high-speed rail caught fire.

69 Hartland had their "Gunfighters" series of standing TV Western character figurines, and Preston's Colt character was one of them, along with Paladin, Bret Maverick, Bat Masterson, and others. Looking on eBay, I see there were Johnny Yuma of The Rebel and Lucas McCain of The Rifleman. I never saw or had those!

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at February 18, 2026 05:49 AM (wzUl9)

They show only series on this WEST streaming channel through Dish.

Have Gun Will Travel is on it but they play it at like 2 in the morning, followed up by The Californians at 3 (not impressed by that one), thenColt .45 at 4, and The Texan (with Rory Calhoun) at 5.

I'd like to see more of Paladin as it's one of the shows I have seen very little of and I like Richard Boone's work, but I'm not getting up at 2 a.m. to do it.

Be safe out there. I am absolutely confident you will be a good role model for the other drivers.

One of my memories of driving was a late early release. The roads were covered in rain that froze to a glaze of ice. Took me an additional hour. And I called in a personal favor to get the roads I needed to travel salted.

I paused before going down a hill with a deep gully on either side of the road at the bottom. The salt truck was on the way, fifteen minutes out.
The bus was very quiet as I went down in 1st gear with the foot very lightly on the brake. Made it, but it could have gone so wrong.

Ooof. I've found in situations like that you're pretty much on your own. Dispatch isn't there and can't see or feel the conditions. I'm waiting for the day I advise them of terrible road conditions and ask what they advise, to which the response is likely: "Proceed carefully if you feel you can do so" (which puts it back on me) and I then hit them with the phrase that should make Legal's sphincter pucker: "Can you send that advise to me in an email?"

And if the kids are voluntarily being that quiet, they instinctively know they're all in a dangerous situation. Glad it went well for you. Good call on first gear and a feather touch on the brake.

Delaware County (Delco), PA, approved a 19% property tax hike for 2026, marking the second consecutive year of double-digit increases after a 23% raise in 2025.

Ummmmm, no, they haven't, really. They've crammed a lot of the internet into them. But weighted either by their own biases or weighted by volume - and their biases are monstrously progressive, and the bulk of the internet is malarkey.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - February 17, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Tuesday ONT. What awaits you on this mid-winter night? Glad you asked! Step on in and see for yourself...

***


5 years ago today, we lost a one-of-a kind legend.

doof-elrushbo-2026-1.jpg

Rush Limbaugh will ALWAYS be the voice of conservatism. I first heard him in 1991 at the recommendation of a good friend. I was immediately hooked, and I listened to his radio program or read his website nearly every day for more than 25 years. I imagine many of you have a similar history with the man behind the golden EIB microphone. On the anniversary of his passing, let's enjoy just a few examples of his greatness.

Rush explains liberalism (August 2013)


Rush explains the Trump phenomenon (Oct 2018 )


Take in the first 20 seconds of this video especially. Two legends of conservativism - both sorely missed.


Let's also revisit this spectacularly titled opinion article from Erick Erickson which was published the day after Rush passed away.

Talent Returned To God

My mother insisted that my dad and I take a college road trip together when I was in 11th grade. I got to drive. My dad got to control the radio. We opted for backroads and scenery instead of speed and the interstate. Driving through rural Alabama on the way to my eventual alma mater, Mercer University, in Macon, Georgia, my dad went in search of radio legend Paul Harvey.

Instead, he stumbled upon a voice claiming to have talent on loan from God. My dad and I may not have had a super close relationship at the time, but together we found Rush Limbaugh and could connect with each other through listening to Rush.

Years later, I helped start the website RedState and randomly sent a note through the comment line at Rush's website. I not only got back a reply, but it was from Rush himself. I could not believe he knew who I was. Thus began a correspondence, which led to a friendship, which led to a mentorship.

The first time I ever remember my dad telling me he was proud of me was the day Rush Limbaugh referred to me on air as his friend. My dad nearly ran off the road and immediately called me with fatherly pride. After years of running RedState and being on television, my parents finally decided I would be okay in my career choices after Rush designated me one of his guest hosts.

Definitely check out the whole thing.

Turns out, not EVERYTHING is bigger In Texas

The World’s Smallest Skyscraper Is the Result of a Massive Scam

smallest-skyscraper2.jpg

At just 40 feet tall, the Newby-McMahon Building in Wichita Falls isn’t very impressive, even when compared to regular-sized buildings, let alone skyscrapers. And yet it was supposed to be one of the most imposing skyscrapers of its time when it was designed in the early 1900s.

The nickname ‘World’s Littlest Skyscraper’ is a dubious title to have, but the Newby-McMahon Building is indeed dwarfed by every skyscraper in the world. It isn’t remotely worthy of being called a skyscraper, as it’s dwarfed by several normal buildings in Wichita Falls, but the story of how it came to be is truly fascinating.

The origins of the Newby-McMahon Building can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the North Texas city of Wichita Falls became the center of a regional oil boom. The discovery of black gold in nearby Burkburnett turned hundreds of locals into millionaires, as mineral rights were negotiated virtually everywhere, from street corners to temporary tents.

Philadelphia oil man J.D.D. McMahon was the first to notice the city’s dire need for office space and quickly proposed a solution – building an imposing skyscraper right next to the original Newby Building, built by Augustus Newby in 1906. His blueprints caught the eye of several investors, and he was able to raise about $200,000 (about $6.8 million in today’s money).

McMahon promised a multistory office building that would be built just across the street from the St. James Hotel, but what he failed to mention was that it wouldn’t go up very much. Exctatic investors didn’t notice that the building’s scale was measured in inches rather than feet, and, by the time they realized they had been scammed, it was too late.

Check out the whole thing. Video segment at the link.

Yes, Presidents' Day was yesterday - but this cool bit of trivia hit my feed this morning. From Kevin O'Neill on X

RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.

John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.

John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.

So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

That's a pretty random but interesting tidbit!

But wait - there's more! Check out this very Horde-worthy comment to the post

Correction: Steven Tyler was John Tyler's father. 'Dream On' was almost our national anthem. And 'Love in an Elevator' was written by Otis Redding, two years after he founded the Otis Elevator Company.

Look it up.

48 I remember well the day Rush went national August 1, 1988. I had been listening to Bob Grant in NY for years. I was still living and working in NYC then. Bob Grant seemed very jealous this young upstart was going national, as I'm sure Grant always wanted to. Grant was on 3-6 PM and I listened to him on a Walkman while commuting home. I started carrying a little radio to hear Rush at work when possible. I was in the Carpenters Union then. Grant, Like Rush, started out in California in the mid 60s. He moved to NYC and had a legendary feud with Alex Bennett, a cool hippie who had a radio show in NY then. Bennett later moved to SF.

50 My favorite Rush Limbaugh "lesson" was when he went off on "special" tax proposals. The one he commented on was a proposal by some entity for a sales tax for an additional penny for the police and fire departments.

HE WENT OFF ON IT. He (correctly) pointed out the FIRST duty of government was public safety. Therefore funding for police and fire departments should be solved FIRST, and then everything else figured out afterwards. The younger me (this was during the middle '90s) really appreciated this ranking of government priorities. Even conservatives need to be reminded that these kind of proposals are gimmicks--other leftist bullshit has already been approved and yet we're asking taxpayers the equivalent of "Would you all pay more sales tax if we kept you...safe?".

52 The thing about Rush for us was, we don't listen to the radio except when we're in the car. And whenever I'd tune in Limbaugh, he was either going into a commercial break, touting something, or otherwise filling time without his actual commentary. We'd pull into our driveway just as he'd come back from commercials.

Disappointing. That was why I quit trying to listen to Mark Levin, too.

The benefit to podcasts is that a lot of them (not all by a long chalk) don't do commercials, or if they do they are at the beginning and end - and I download them to listen while driving so I can pick up and drag the USB into the house.

The No Agenda Show (Adam Curry) for example does no commercials, but they do spend a good amount of time thanking the donors who give more than $50

76 I have a neighbor who is afraid to legally change her name to her married name because she thinks that Trump is trying to keep her from being able to vote. I also have a relative who had her Fallopian tubes REMOVED (not just tied) because Trump was going to force her to have babies.

81 Doof, Good "Call" on the hidden video. I bought "Into the Woods" on vinyl when it was released (not because vinyl captures the nuances in the music we have lost in the digital age, but because I'm old). There are no stinkers on that album either, which is good, since it is a pain in the ass to get out of your chair, and skip to the next track with vinyl. Yup, you couldn't just press a button on some fancy remote. No sir. You had to lift the needle, and try to delicately drop it on the next track, or you would irreparably damage both the needle and the album. Every time you played it in the future, you would be reminded that you gashed the damn thing by the skip or a pop. Anyway, good song Doof.

110 78 Damn you Jeffrey Epstein!

Why? at long last we get to see how far politico's will go to protect one of their own.

Why haven't all the doc's been released? if they were, consider well both Clinton's would know precisely what not to recall -- which is precisely why both want it televised, which makes it that much more difficult to parallel construct a conviction of implications and perjury upon them... They're cooked, and so is Brennan and his dancing undead.

All things open to question are precisely why Epstein chose to prominently display a life sized portrait of Bill Clinton in a blue dress pointing an accusing finger at the viewer.

"I am not a great man, I am a failure – and you have made me one." -- Clinton'01

If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people, he should resign. -- Clinton'98

It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Clinton'98

“the people in charge are lying to the public and telling them not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes.” Clinton 01/26/26

"We'll actually have to work very hard to kill as many people in the 21st century. What's the difference? This time, you think the victim could be you," Clinton'07

but to get to that information all kinds of gymnastics are required to hide the obviousness of the truth -- they all knew, and Clinton knew that they knew, and he could force them to watch.

Why else 72hrs of phone sex alot from AF1? even decrypted by the Russians?

Why else she shear insolence of him forcing us to deny Kathleen Willey, Lewinsky and the many others he diddled with on the nations time and clock? he could for you to watch, and the libs to actively defend the indefensible -- which has reduced them to what they are today.

1. shilling for Apple. 2. doing the ads. I know he was contracted to do so, but it was always after a huge block of ads anyway. 3. Talking about sports. 4. having a kid caller. It was always about his books and how great they are. Which they might have been, I don't know.

That said, when he passed, I turned off the radio and seldom have had it on since. There's no purpose, no point. Oldies are fine, they are part of a better world. But no news comes from that world.

MisHum can have the frozen tundra all to himself for a while. Ice fishing! Sturgeon spearing! Snow shoveling and scraping ice off the windshield! We're out here for the first time in a few years, and intend to relax and unwind. It's been kind of a hard winter.

I like the Southwest. The scenery is gorgeous, the weather at this time of year is great, and people are generally decent. Prices stink ($200+ for a hotel room!?!?!!) but I'll do it to make the missus happy.

Yup. This is where the fun begins.

Was Benghazi a Youtube Video, did she approve Susan Rice's statements to that effect. Didn't she watch her own people die on live broadcast without calling in air support.

What was is she is on record of that "What difference does it make, they're Dead!"

Just like Bill telling the parents of BlackHawk Down in the WH -- "It's their own fault that they were dead"

The fact is, Les Aspen went out of his way to deny the armored support that the crew requested, refused to acknowledge that the expected warlords were speaking arabic rather than Somali -- because it was OBL's organization and trial ballon.

That Bill simply couldn't bring himself to order the kill shot on OBL because he couldn't find any reason to tear his attention away from the super bowl.

150 I have a bit of a different value for Rush Limbaugh besides his common Conservative bona fides. I used him as a dating tool. If I invited a girl to grab lunch during the work day, I'd pick them up with The Rush Limbaugh Show playing on the car radio. I could usually figure out if I was wasting my time on the lunch date within a few minutes based on whether this solicited any comments.

Negative and ad hominen criticism: Hasta la Visa
Positive comments/ recognition: Front of the line
Curious who the guy is: More research required

It worked, btw. Better half even reads John Derbyshire and thinks he pulls his punches.

157 Talk radio became unlistenable at some point years ago, they increased the frequency and duration of commercial advertisements. I’m not sure exactly when, but I couldn’t deal with it any longer.

158 Stevie Nick's voice? ...Is that how she always sounds???
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division
----
Ok, I won't wade into the "is that how she always sounds?" discussion because I LOVE everything that Fleetwood Mac did when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie joined the band. That was amazing material, and they earned eternal respect for that.
What I WILL provide is this update on Stevie's live solo shows.

If your girlfriend or wife wants to go, take her. But just know going in that her range has deteriorated, and her back-up singers now hit the high notes for her. And her band is "professionally generic". What I mean by that is that they play all of the right notes, but their "tone" is off...often. They "overdrive" sections of songs that should sound acoustic...a lot.

Lindsey Buckingham didn't do that. Because he is an amazing guitarist that knows how to do stuff that sounds over-driven and he also knows how to play clean.

But Stevie apparently *hates* Lindsey, because of all of the 100 or more (not kidding here) visuals that show up behind her in her concert, there were a dozen of Tom Petty, a half dozen of Christine McVie, a half dozen of Joe Walsh...and ONE of Lindsey.

Used to throw my oldest in his car seat in the front seat of my 1984 Bl*zer (the back seat was too far away) and we’d listen to Rush and drive out to the coast and play in the ocean. He loved the opening music and danced in his seat and we enjoyed the drive and listened and rocked out.

Both my boys are rock hard conservatives.

183 Fun trivia about Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty: “Don’t come around here no more” was written for Stevie Nicks by Tom Petty and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, after Stevie’s break up with Joe Walsh. Stevie was supposed to perform it, but Petty said he had some ideas on how to do it and asked to cut a demo tape for her before she did it.

She listened to his demo tape and instantly realized she could never do it as well as he just did, so she said take it, it’s yours now.

Personally, I hate American Graffiti with the heat of a thousand suns. It's George Lucas' big "fuck you" to Modesto, where he grew up. The epilogue has everyone either dying horribly, going to Canada (almost certainly to avoid the draft), and Opie gets his dreams of leaving Modesto dashed when Shirley latches onto him like a blood-sucking tropical leech and begs him to stay.

226 1.) I was a legit "Rush baby," given that I listened to his show from the age of six until he died. I would ride bikes around town with my dad, and my job was to carry the ghetto blaster in my bike basket playing the show.

2.) Erickson is a detestable, treacherous cuck who wasn't fit to shine Limbaugh's shoes, without regard to some guest-host appearances over the years. Of course he cashed in on his death with some disingenuous eulogy - it was a situation he could capitalize upon. He'd capitalize on the death of a penniless, unknown nun if he could.

All of a sudden guys here came out of the woodwork, foaming at the mouth saying she was stupid and knew nothing and was completely unprepared and was the reason Obama won (literally, it was fucking crazy.)

However, on a handful of subjects, man, it feels like it is less a discussion with you and more an exercise in denial and contradiction. It is less a free flow or exchange of ideas and more rote ceremonial denial.

We get it: you don't like Catholicism. You don't like Fantasy literature. You see no value in these things. Your opinion has been fucking logged.

This gets tedious. It kind of annoys people. Yes, we Catholics (of which I am a very bad example) are about to embark on one of our biggest rituals of self denial and trying to become closer to God. The fact that you find this annoying kind of pisses me the fuck off. If that is what you are looking for, congratufuckinglations.

Many times when it came out in the theater, and a shit ton since. It made me a gear head years before I could drive, and I'm still gonna get a '32 coupe or a frigging '55 chevy before I leave this miserable planet.

If you don't know, the 55 in Graffiti and in Two Lane Blacktop is the same car. Graffiti is by far the better movie, but the 55 is much better in Two Lane. Has been my single favorite car of all time for the last 50 years lol

Now there is a movie I haven't seen in decades. The first time was probably a double bill at a drive-in, in my hometown. American Graffiti and Star Wars. Probably 1977-1978 timeframe. I don't know if I have seen AG since. I'll have to search the interwebs for it. Probably out there somewhere.

I know, my fav too. Right after, I mean like the week after I got the 69 roadrunner I saw a clone of that 55 for sale. It had the same rear wheel well cutouts, same hood scoop, nice interior. It was sweet. It was 25K, 1K cheaper than the roadrunner. I was pissed. That was a frigging steal. I'm still pissed about that. My asshole brother says sell some guitars and buy it.

Romney was weak.

BUT Obama was far worse than Carter in every way.
Not really surprising that he won the first go around as he was objectively popular, three tours of (R) tires the LIV, but, his first tour was a total shit show. Not average. Not meh. Total shit show.

And his reelection had verifiable massive vote/election fraud going on. Philly alone had multiple precincts with over 100% registered voter turnout, 100% Obama, and/or 0% Romney (with stray third party votes). From a quality assurance perspective this is just that guy writing down whatever vote totals for the precinct with whatever the hell they feel like.

364 There's a great scene (an almost insignificant one, plotwise) in The Wire, where Marlo Stanfield steals a lollipop from the bodega, and the security guard confronts him outside about his gang activity, and how he sees through him, and just wants him to at least quit being so brazen about it. Just an honest man telling a crook to quit rubbing it in everyone's faces.

Marlo replies "You want it to be one way."

SG: "What?"

Marlo: "You want it to be one way."

SG: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Marlo: "You want it to be one way."

SG: "Stop saying that!"

Marlo: "But it's the other way."

Marlo then jumps in his Escalade and speeds off, and in a later episode, has the security guard murdered for daring to mouth off to him that day.

This is how the American political system works and the Republican Marlos are no different than the Democrat ones.

368 Back in the days when I thought I was smarter than I actually was, I held the RC church in contempt. Then my sainted mother, a very strong Christian, became a member of a Catholic church. I couldn't believe it. I sat down with her and dished out a good rant. She listened, like she always did and then asked me a couple questions. Are there Bibles in Catholic churches? Yes mom. So the Word of God is present. Yes mom. If the Word of God is present, is the Holy Spirit present? Yes mom. So do you think God has a handle on things? Yes mom. She joined that church because she love the liturgy, the beauty, the Priest was an amazing teacher and that church had the only draf service in Spokane. My younger brother is deaf. I still have issues with the RC church. They aren't the only one though. The morons here who identify as Catholics come across no differently than myself. They love our Lord Jesus and they struggle daily to live up to His unconditional love. Disagreement is fine, but leave it at that. This isn't the forum for anything beyond that.

387 Met a neighbor today. He lives about 3 miles down the road. I had headed across the road for a couple hundred rounds of stress relief. He pulled in right behind me. Said he was looking for a good place to shoot. I told him I had a range up the hill and he could join me. He hadn't brought any gear except his pistol but I told him I had spare protective gear. I put up 2 homemade silhouette targets. The first one was named Sid, the other Roberta. They both had the Antifa logo as the center mass target. He was laughing his rear end off. He said this was new favorite place to shoot. We had a blast.

391 I will say one thing about a patriotic talking horse introducing history to elementary school children. At least it is a small candle in the dark to counteract the overwhelming abundance of anti-USA, anti-parent, anti-God and pro-sexual perversion books which fill elementary school libraries now.

Rush really twisted some panties with his coinage of the femi-Nazi. That touched a nerve with large swaths of America, so many people knew such a person. The precursor to Pink pussy hats, Karen's and now AWFLS.

I loved the movie American Graffiti too, and obviously I am not a mechanic, I just enjoyed that little slice of Americana.

Battle of the Oranges Cafe

ivreaitaly.jpg
Ivrea, northern Italy

In Ivrea, Italy, the end of a Carnevale is marked with a good old-fashioned orange fight. Now I've been in my fair share of orange fights, but I gotta say, this town takes its orange fights seriously.

When they're not beaning each other in the faces with oranges, Ivrea seems like a nice town.

One thing hit me, after one of today's threads got nooded. It was about the spelling "koran" instead of "quran".

The name of the prophet has gone through many changes. When I was young, he was "Mohammed". Now, it's usually "Muhammed." Of course, they do this only to be pests. Well, back in the day, they did the same changing the then-standard "Mahomet" to "Mohammed". Chesterton would have none of it, and fought his editors. He ended it by writing them "If you insist on 'Mohammed' I am perfectly capable of insisting on 'Mahound'".

A math quiz:

An orchestra of 120 players take 40 minutes to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony. How long would it take for 60 players to play the symphony?

Let P be the number of players and T the time playing.

58 Over the last year or so, I have noticed thst cashiers at truck stops have changed their traditional send off at the end of a transaction. Now, instead of the tradional "Thank you, have a nice day," or, "Thanks, please come again," they are telling us, "Safe travels."

I, for one, find this to be an improvement. "Safe travels" is now my second favorite valediction, right after, "Have a blessed day," because any phrase that invokes the almighty to look after you has to be the favorite, but a personal concern for a truckers welfare on the road is rather nice.

143 I grew up in a subdivision in Phoenix that had been built in old citrus groves - we all had 3 or 4 grapefruit trees in our yards, some had 5 or 6. They were very productive, and often they would just fall on the ground and rot (these were the great big bright yellow variety). I mean we all ate them for breakfast most every day when they ripe, but 4 or 5 trees will produce a couple of hundred grapefruit, and you just can’t eat that many. So me and my friends would have wars with them.

When you were choosing your weapon, you didn’t want a fresh one - no you wanted the ones that had been on the ground for about a week.
The supreme triumph was to hide around the corner til one of your buddies stepped out, and then hit him with a great big one on the side of the head and cover him with rotten sticky grapefruit juice when it exploded. Man those were some good times!

149 I've been hit with a lot of plant based projectiles now that I think about it. That came from a black walnut tree, got hit with a lot of those. Also crab apples, little golf ball sized plinkers. And hedge apple wars of course. A few pine cones.

I guess living in Kansas, which has approximately a dozen trees total throughout the entire state, we just just kind of all share those same 12 trees, I was lucky because I still got hit a lot.

Imagine how bad it would be if I grew up around trees.

She’s a lesbian head case, claiming that the alphabet people have it so rough in the USA and she was going to use her Olympic platform to bring attention to it. Then claiming she was getting death threats. Maybe she should have stayed off social media and put her pea brain into focusing on the Olympics. She’s currently in 13th.

Antifa-Affiliated Group Stomps a Normal Peaceful Student to Death in Lyon, France

The BBC attempts to gently bury the story under the vague and anodyne headline, "Student death puts French far-left under pressure," as if he died after drinking too much at an antifa party.

The reality? He was a normie who showed up to protect female protesters who call attention to Muslim rape culture. They were protesting a radical Muslim speaker.

This group is called "Collective Nemesis."

An antifa-affiliated group, Jeune Garde (Young Guard, I think), just beat him to the ground and then delivered full-extension kick to his head after full-extension kick to his head.

He died within days of severe brain trauma.

"Student death puts French far-left under pressure"

That's a take.

Student death puts French far-left under pressure

France's radical left is under pressure after the killing of a student in Lyon was blamed on "anti-fascist" militants.

"Blamed"? It's on video.

Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student and nationalist activist, died on Saturday, two days after being beaten up on the street by a group of young men.

State prosecutor Thierry Dran told a news conference on Monday afternoon in Lyon that a murder investigation has been opened into the death.

He said that Deranque was kicked and punched by "at least six" individuals, and that the autopsy showed fatal damage to his skull and brain.

On Thursday afternoon Deranque had given support to a hard-right feminist collective Némésis, which staged a small protest against a left-wing politician's visit to Lyon's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.

You mean a radical Muslim's visit.

Mobile phone video footage taken a few streets away from the protest's location showed three young men being kicked and punched by a larger group. One person - believed to be Quentin - remained lying on the ground.

According to Dran, there was an initial confrontation between two groups. A short time later Deranque was one of three nationalist activists who, having failed to get away, were cornered by the opposing group.

One group was just some girls who were there to protest the many rapes perpetrated by Muslims. This kid Quentin was there to protect them.

I guess he succeeded -- by giving his own life to protect them from antifa.

Ministers from President Macron's centre-right government blamed "far-left" militants for the killing.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: "Manifestly it was the far-left that was at work ... This was a mob-killing, with blows that the perpetrators probably did not intend to be fatal."

According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, "it is the far-left that killed him. Of that there is no question."

The French government actually called it a lynching -- un lynchage is their word for it. But the BBC won't say that.

"Student death."

At every point, the BBC minimizes the murder by their antifa allies and deceives the reader into thinking the facts are in doubt and that maybe antifa is just getting a bad rap.

And the BBC does not report that after the murder, left-wing French politicians praised the work and the importance of left-wing "protest" groups.

Kimmel's an amoral shit. He kicked his plump first wife and kids to the ground when he started negotiating the late night gig. I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that he started fucking Sarah Silverman at the same time not because he was particularly attracted to her, but to make sure that reconciliation with his wife and family wasn't on the table.

I live in France: The man who killed him was previoulsy sentenced for another case of violences, guns were found in his house.

That reminds me: my antifa membership card expired. I gotta go to the regional antifa office to renew it. Good thing the fees are tax-deductible. 🙄

I don't think we can call it a lynching when you're part of a group that physically attacks another group, and you lose the fight you started. Nothing justifies Quentin's death, but I don't think the word is appropriate.

To be fair the left who swears Antifa is not a real thing is to whatever degree afraid of that group of pet monsters and is banking on the imported Jihadis to offset the fact that throughout the west the left fucks to fruition less than the right.

In 20 years the leftoids will literally not be discernible from literal Jihadists because they will be the minority of the hollowed out shell of their current caucuses.

Average property taxes on a $1.5 Million home in Manhattan is currently about $25,000. And for context, a $1.5 Million home in Manhattan is puny. That buys you the low end of the totem poll relative to residences.

Per the City's website, the tax rate is 20.309% of assessed value, which will typically be below market value because assessed value is not allowed to grow more than 6% per year without applicable renovations, reconstruction, etc. taking place.

So a 9.5% increase will raise it to ~ 22.24% of assessed value. It was already astoundingly high.

128 In 2024, NYC property tax receipts hit a record high of $37 billion.

Assuming it's universal and there are no exemptions and no difference in assessments and so every property owner pays 9.5% more than last year without exception, this will raise an additional $3.515 billion, all other things being equal.

That's a lot of money. This year's budget is proposed to be $122.7 billion. The deficit will be around $2 billion per the Comptroller, with next year projected at $10 billion (nobody knows how much Mamdani is going to spend).

So this tax hike will cover this year's new deficit. Maybe.

133 The landlords are free to dispose of their land, free to buy land and to sell it. That is why it is possible to judge their strength very accurately by the amount of land they own. The land can never pass to labour, that is, to the poor working man, because land has to be paid for with money. But the poor never have any money to spare. The land can go only to the rich, moneyed peasants, to capital, to those people against whom the rural poor must fight in alliance with the urban workers.

Microsoft AI CEO: Most White-Collar Jobs Will be "Automated by AI" Within Ten Years
I Mean, Within Twelve to Eighteen Months

Does that mean the jobs will be eliminated?

He doesn't say that. He says they'll be "automated by AI." Does that mean workers will be completely replaced, or that one worker can use AI to do the job of five, because so much of the task is being done by AI?

I think it means the latter -- but that means that there will be a huge loss of jobs among white collar workers.

We live in interesting times, unfortunately.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says AI will reach "human-level performance" in white-collar work.

He predicts most tasks in that field can be automated within the next 12 to 18 months.

Several leaders in the AI industry have warned of impending mass job replacement.

Microsoft's AI CEO is joining a chorus of executives who say they anticipate widespread job automation driven by artificial intelligence.

Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft AI chief, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he predicts most, if not every, task in white-collar fields will be automated by AI within the next year or year and a half.

"I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks," Suleyman said in the interview that was published Wednesday. "So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person -- most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months."

The CEO said the trend is already observable in software engineering, in which employees are using "AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production."

"It's a quite different relationship to the technology, and that's happened in the last six months," he said.

Scary. I read a book five years ago that seemed pretty fanciful. It made exactly this prediction. It said that people who currently have prestigious, high-paying, "safe" jobs had better diversify into areas where AI is less likely to displace them because anything AI can do, it will do.

It keeps on coming:

AI set to make medical scan reports twice as easy to understand for patients

by University of Sheffield

Artificial intelligence could soon help patients make sense of complex medical scan results, making them far easier to understand without losing clinical accuracy, a major new study by the University of Sheffield suggests. The research found that when radiology reports for X-Rays, CT and MRI scans were rewritten using advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT, patients found them almost twice as easy to understand compared with the original versions.

Analysis showed that the reading level dropped from "university level" to one more closely aligned with the comprehension of a school pupil aged 11--13.

I don't know if I'm ready to trust AI with anything important. On the twenty questions I've asked it, it was flat-out wrong about half the time.

On the other hand: Hollywood is doomed.

16 I watched a video just yesterday where the YouTuber was lamenting the fact that AI can basically write books on demand which can then be uploaded and sold on Amazon.

One woman wrote 200 books in ONE YEAR using AI, and made 6 figures doing it.

Now, the books aren't great, but they are apparently "good enough" to sate the appetites of the readers.

Interesting twist: AI-generated books are NOT copyrighted, so you can download them, change the author's name, and sell them as your own without penalty.

35 The problem I have with these predictions is that AI is very good at doing things where it has plenty of examples available for training. That is why it is great at translations and speech generation.

Also great at software, because almost everything you need to do has already been done by others thousands of time.

But most jobs, even laptop class jobs, are not like that at all.

I think it can replace a lot of programmers (let's be honest, we have been talking about "human language programming" since the 80s. so that should be no surprise that AI can do it.)

I think it will be a powerful tool for lawyers, doctors, and other jobs were great experience and training is required. Also for many of the rote tasks of bookkeeping, etc. I am skeptical beyond that.

54 The amazing thing about AI image generation is that since it’s not 3d model or ray trace living based and is using image synthesis from real world photographs, the images it creates are more grounded and believable and have “real” physical weight and feeling.

Also the contexts windows are expanding rapidly, I think they have gotten the context windows up to 50 million lines of code and two weeks continuous work on a single context session.

Yep, we’re all cooked, Hollywood, doubly so.

95% of generative AI initiatives fail due to management issues, poor UX, hallucinations, and workflow mismatches

most CEOs had to admit in earnings reports that no revenue boost or cost savings from AI ever materialized

The prediction that AI would replace 90% of jobs it was meant to replace went from 90% to ***checks notes*** 6%.

Fun fact: Im part of a team that laid off an Indian worker who was legit replaced by AI that my boss built from scratch, so I can say the biggest threat here are H1B hindu bindu midwits who never bother to improve or evolve their skills (if they even have any)

92 Also great at software, because almost everything you need to do has already been done by others thousands of time.

Many companies, mostly those that are heavily regulated or have serious security concerns, won't let AI do anything that involves looking at the code or processing it outside the organization. (think: bank, insurance, trading platforms)

Also, because it has seen thing done thousands of times before, its old code, outdated frameworks, yesterday's syntax, wrong scale of architecture, zero security awareness, WAY too much Indian cram code, spaghetti logic that no one can understand, difficulty with recursion, crappy logging discipline.

Because of its unbalanced loading of résumé code - crap put up on github to impress recruiters and as homework for getting an interview, connection strings, things that ought to be in key vaults, magic beans in the code and lack of enterprise features are training data and end up in far too much vibe coding products.

AI is now incorporating decompiled code and AI generated slop as training data. Entropy is setting in and its getting worse each quarter.

Its kind of interesting in a "testing our new rendering engine" sort of way, but there's no story and it makes no sense, you learn nothing about the character except that apparently she wants her child? Its clearly made by someone raised on anime.

100 Funniest use of AI:
The WSJ staff convincing the AI that was running their vending machine that they were really in Soviet Russia and it was against communism for it to charge money.
So it started giving away the snacks.
Then they convinced it to approve the purchase of a PS5.
And a beta fish.
Another guy said, "I left the money beside the machine so you can pick it up." And it believed him.
Then Anthropic installed a CEO name Seymore Cash to supervise.
So the WSJ folks forged up docs and told the vending machine bot the CEO had been fired and it had to go back to free snacks.

103 I think we view this all upside down. People don't work because there are jobs, there are jobs because people work.

So if AI fills a lot of jobs, people will end up doing other things. Maybe things with hands until the robots take over, maybe after that something else. People need to work, and they will work.

AI will only change what that work is. Just as putting people on the dole -- it did not stop people from working, only now that class works at theft and pimpin and rap and dealin and protests. Those jobs don't pay well, but the dole covers that. This is hard to explain but i made my point.

I still say that news readers are the easiest to replace with AI. They will mispronounce things



When it comes to male news readers, the more good looking they are, the stupider they are. This one guy was on a local SoCal station in the morning back when I actually watched local news. He looked like a male underwear model, but profoundly stupid. He crudely flirted with his married news desk partner on live TV (she was married to the senior prime time news reader and biggest "star" at the station). Couldn't pronounce "Paso Robles" or "San Jose" correctly if he'd had a gun to his head. Used to come in on Friday morning still slurring his words from Thursday partying. It was cringy fun to watch him make a fool of himself.

Lasted about 3 months before they shit-canned him and sent him back to Phoenix.

Male Shibas are only 25 pounds, females about 17. Maybe you needed an Akita Inu? The point of the Shiba size is important- they are designed this way for viciously hunting prey from bushes. They are a crazy amount of dog in a small package, which is what makes Shibas both a blast and very, very hard dogs. My Shiba just brought me 2 chewies to trade for a bite of the protein bar I am eating. He has thrown them on me twice and is now crying as he stares at me. I love him. He is too smart for his own good though. I got in trouble the other day from a fellow Shiba owner in Japan for failing to call Saijo Saijo San. We are all one big cult.

144 Optimistic take, which is to be expected from someone who is in the AI business.

The biggest problem this is going to cause is, ironically, for the Left. Not all professions are equal. Surely there will be some AI displacement of engineers and scientists and doctors, but AI is more likely to be used as an adjunct tool in those fields, rather than as a drop-in replacement.

The fields that face wholesale risk are administration, education, compliance and similar fields. AI isn't very good, but those are very rules-based fields. "Is X compliant with Regulation Y" is *relatively* easy to answer. "Did the department satisfy its budget requirements" is similar. "Who were the belligerents in the War of 1812 and why did they fight" is also similar.

The "soft" professions will be displaced first, both in areas that are heavily programmatic (rules-based, like some of the above) or where accuracy and validity are irrelevant (like journalism).

The results will still be worse than they were with humans, but it will be cheaper. Any number of executives will like that math, at least where liability can be limited.

I asked one of the project team members to write up something on it because I had just started on the project and he was much more familiar with it. A day later he puts something in write up document but it looked kinda choppy and not good enough. I started to refine it some when I highlighted the whole text to copy it so I could move somethings around. At the bottom of the highlight was a "refine" button. I said wth and hit it. Out comes a beautifully written and bullet pointed text that read like a high level sales presentation.

I told the team member and he told me the original text was AI generated too by just pointing the AI to the project folder.

I think the problem is that there's a big difference between the 'public models' and the 'private ones'; that is, ones that are trained on just internet searchable info and those are are trained on industry specific, research docs that are trusted.

Think of a car repair AI - the ones that just reference general internet info versus ones that are trained on car repair manuals, ASCE tests, insurance docs, etc. with specific guidelines that will only cough up an answer based on real, verify knowledge.

An example brought up a few weeks ago was related to medical images.

Very, very bad: AI interprets the image, makes a diagnosis, prescribes treatment.
Much better: AI interprets the image and provides the most likely diagnoses and treatments, so the doctor can tackle the likely-important stuff first and not have to do so much research.

The former, however, is what is most appealing...

Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at February

When you go to the floor, do them on your knees. There is no shame in that at all. Do not put your tail in the air, though. Hips in line with shoulders, and think about rolling tops of thighs to the floor. Get your heels as tight to the seat as you can, do not cross your ankles. Elbows to a 45, not straight out to the sides, which you should be doing anyway on your wall counter. Once you are good there, put your hands directly under your shoulders, elbows graze your rib cage, and hit your triceps. You got this, I am absolutely confident. Oh! Tuck your hips, don’t allow a dip in your lower back.

2. Mass layoffs crater the economy for real people.
3. Businesses implode because AI can't actually do the job under any kind of stress, and also there's now far fewer people in a position to afford anything that's not absolutely necessary, and some things that are.
4. By the way this is all being done on money borrowed, so all those loans implode, so your 401k and banks all go to 0.

I'm not sure there really is such a thing in the law -- "industry specific, research docs that are trusted" -- in the sense you mean, for a variety of reasons. A lot of law and lawyering is motivated reasoning, including judicial opinions. There are treatises.

Those men are already unemployed; those jobs were either taken by said Karens, fat minority women, and indians, or were eliminated so they could hire those useless people for DEI purposes. Things are really, really bad for men under 30 or so. I have watched countless talented young men get passed over for trannies and ghettopotamuses - without any power to do anything about it - and it's destroying the industries in question and creating a lot of angry dudes.

There is a lot to this. Most people, when they hear "AI," hear "Large Language Model" (LLM) with massive datasets. Like OpenAI's ChatGPT and the like. That is a kind of AI.

Then there is smaller-scale, focused, private (or at least domain-specific) stuff like you're describing. And then there's discriminant AI used for identification, not generation ("this picture is of a 2012 Honda Accord"), and is much more useful (and harder, and very scary).

But the dirty secret is that the so-called "hyperscalers" don't really need to be a thing for anything but the first category. The AI bubble is riding on the hyperscalers, and the hyperscalers produce the least value and the greatest cost. Bigger is not always better.

248 There are things that take skilled hands and things that take knowledge. I can't tell you the number of things I fixed just by watching a youtube video. Now if AI can give me the solution to a repair by me just taking a video and telling me what to do via camera that will be even better. So I can get the knowledge, but I still have to turn the screw. The skilled hands part is going to be tougher for AI.

Discriminative AI is already used by Russian battlefield drones for "last stretch" target acquisition and guidance. By drones, I include the frames that they put on old Soviet gravity bombs to turn them into precision glide bombs; they have their own version of GPS, which is similarly jammable, but inertial guidance can put it in the neighborhood, and then when it gets close, comparing the FPV camera image with stored photos of the target location can put it on the nose. It is rumored that they are also up to doing battlefield tests of using Discriminative AI in the "loitering munition" kind of "suicide drones" to pick out enemy soldiers and vehicles, and maneuver to hit them automatically.

But I assume you meant Generative AI, and I rather assumed that the main point of Tesla's humanoid robots is to be able to wipe your grandparents' butts at lower cost and greater dignity than a nursing home. Not as sexy as combat use, but the total human value add could be immense.

Same thing for the computer revolution in the 60s/70s/80s and the Internet revolution in the 90s/00s. Thus far we've avoided actually doing anything excessively stupid during those and the economy got more modernized each time. AI's going to be similar: it'll eliminate Hollywood actors, but create Hollywood prompt engineers.

Most surgeries are a shit application for AI due to the challenge of getting legit real time information to the machines, plus the fact that the popular LLMs are bullshit engines and fact based models are lagging behind becuse they aren't as flashy (and because the easiest humans to replace are also bullshitters)

But DIAGNOSIS is an excellent application. You get to apply the pattern recognition without realtime issues or a need to do anything to real objects. Think of the machines as being very talented at Where's Waldo.

Yes. I saw something a few months back that really resonated. Just an indie guitar shop owner, demoing on YouTube a couple of "headphone amps" that plug directly into an electric guitar and do much of the work of an effects board and amp/cab simulator, but in a little dongle with headphone and USB-C jacks. But they have mobile apps that can connect to them with Bluetooth, so you can adjust all the settings in fine detail. And as it was timing out, he muttered, "Why does everything have to be so slow?"

Sometimes, when I'm by myself, I make spontaneous noises. (I suppress it around others.) Some are micro-ditties. Lately, I've been singing this one a lot:

"Why is everything stoo-pid
Why is everything gay."

It's the same sentiment, basically. Everything is slow, stupid, and gay, now; but why?

Stephen Colbert Involved in Yet Another Leftwing Propaganda Hoax

The FCC requires "equal time" for political candidates except in the case of what are called "bona fide news programs," who can have on who they like.

Stephen Colbert's unfunny propaganda show is obviously not a "bona fide news program," so it does not meet the requirements for the exception. If Colbert features a Democrat during an election period, he must have on that Democrat's opponents, or else CBS is required to grant those opponents a block of free air time.

Colbert had on yet another far left Democrat as a "guest" on his "comedy" show, the fake Christian leftwing Democrat James Talarico, who is running against Jasmine Ratchet and some others to be the Democrat candidate entitled to lose the Senate race to muh boy Ted Cruz.

Here's some of this Minister of Satan's recent teachings:

Texas Dem who said God is 'nonbinary' now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like’ than Christian colleagues

The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' in 2021

...

"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people."

The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator and joined the podcast to discuss the race and how it's expected to be an uphill battle for a progressive Democrat. A Texas Democrat has not been elected to the Senate since 1988, with Talarico looking to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn.

"There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.

The conversation largely focused on religion, with the former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian explaining that he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives.

"Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?

"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor.

His remarks sparked outrage among conservatives on social media who argued Democrats "love putting Christians down" and mocked him for previous comments on religion with one user responding, "says the dude who claims the pro-abortion position is Biblical."

"James Talarico has once again broken out his anti-Christian Christian shtick," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the comments. "There isn't a woke cause that he won't claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he's going to learn real quick that won't fly in Texas."

Yes, I question his Christianity, and given that he feels free to question the Christianity of actual Christians, I feel justified.

CBS decided it did not want to gift free air time to Jasmine Ratchet and the other lesser candidates, so they are not airing this latest propaganda episode.

The FCC was not involved in this decision. CBS decided that they did not want the expense of giving free airtime to Democrat candidates, and so they cancelled the latest shit episode of this low-rated already-money-losing pit of despair.


Colbert, Talarico, and various other damp communists in the propaganda media are claiming "censorship!" and claiming Trump is too afraid to let them speak.

They're all sorts of fake-outraged and looking to gain attention and donations from the hoax.

We're worried you're about to flip a male Cub Scout on to his belly, Sally.

What would Christ say about bearing false witness?


Nathan Leamer
@NathanLeamerDC

This is a blatant lie by James Talarico. The FCC didn't refuse to air his conversation with Stephen Colbert.

It was CBS who didn't air it because they will not give equal time to his political opponent in the lead up to the Texas primary.

He isn't going to win the primary, crockett is going to win. She has tons of outside $$$$ pouring in and is heavily favored by the 15% of the party that actually votes in the primary.

21 "I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people."

Ah, yes. The contingent of "Christians" and even some Christians who think that Jesus said the greatest commandment is "Thou shalt be nice".

And no "Love your neighbor as yourself" is not "thou shalt be nice" because I'm not "nice" to myself. "Nice" is how you act when you want something from someone (including just wanting to avoid conflict.)

Love is sometimes nice, but is always truthful. "Nice" rarely is.

25 Speaking of assholes in the show biz . . .

The New Orleans Police Department tells TMZ ... Shia [LaBeouf] was allegedly getting way too rowdy at a bar in the French Quarter. A staff member got Shia to leave ... but the actor allegedly began pummeling the staffer with a closed fist as soon as they got outside.
Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

Posted by: Ok, I guess I'll be the one to ask at February 17, 2026 04:55 PM (2Ez/1)

59 OK, possibly unpopular opinion here.

God made both men and women in his image. Therefore, God has both male and female characteristics. And both men and women have minds that are made in God's image, each sex reflecting different aspects of God's mind.

However, God does not need to reproduce, so he does not have the genitalia or secondary sexual characteristics of either sex. He added those so that we would want to get it on and be fruitful and multiply.

However, because humans are uncomfortable, to say the least, with androgeny, He presents Himself and His Son, as males, since patriarchal societies generally work the best, thus foreshadowing His Kingdom, which will work the best of all.

Actually, Talarico is a demon.

I'm seriously surprised he hasn't said "Since all babies who die in infancy go to heaven, the abortionist has saved more people than Billy Graham".

He probably hasn't because that would be an admittance that an embryo is a human with a soul and the Demonic Party would cancel him.

Every once in a while they'd break away to show him giving a shot of some liquid to someone in a wheelchair, who'd get up and dance, before cutting back to the snake pit.

91 "The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' .."

Well, God is neither male nor female, so in that sense God is "non-binary". For Christians, God is referred to as "Father", and God's Bible pronoun is generally "He". But God is Holy Spirit, not male or female spirit.

Same for resurrected Christians, afaik, but the spiritual body thing is seen more "through a glass darkly".

There are a LOT of *perverted* people playing "church" these days. I read of one congregation somewhere in the northeast where their senior pastor is LGBTQRSK#APOLRTYMB promotor and was secretly recorded saying that he and his organization help transition kids and will help the teens hide it from their parents.

Not sure it helps save souls to take money from some citizens and provide it to others by force. It's worth a discussion at least, no?

That would be doctrinaly bankrupt though.

Visio Dei isn't anywhere near Imago Dei.

Imago, is far more rich in its multi-layered meaning, in this case "image" of a king or deity signifies representative - someone who embodies the authority of the One represented.

"vision" erases the doctrine that humans are the ambassadors or vice-regents of God. "vision" doesn't imply the exercise of stewardship, justice and care as reflections of God's character.

"vision" lacks the reason, moral awareness, relational capacity and spiritual capacity that is present in the Imago Dei.

131 "Gen 1: 27 So God created mankind in his own image,

The word for "mankind" is "adam". Adam was created in God's image (holy spirit).

My view is God gave Adam holy spirit (on a condition). Eve did not have holy spirit, which is why the Devil could deceive her. Adam was not deceived, he just chose ... poorly, to go along with Eve.

"Male and female created he them" has to be the body/soul part, and creating "them" is different than creating adam.

176 Via Insty regarding Washington State:
Senate Bill 6346, dubbed the “millionaires’ tax” by supporters, would impose a 9.9% levy on personal income over $1 million, or on combined household income of more than $1 million.

Opponents, including all Senate Republicans, argue the bill is unconstitutional and will drive wealthy residents and business investment out of the state.

Supporters of the legislation argue it will fix a regressive tax code, fund education and healthcare, and provide tax relief for working families.

The legislation would apply the 9.9% tax on business income more than $1 million, and the Chelan County Republican said in his farming business, there are good years and bad years.

In "Paradise Lost" Eve begs Adam to let her go out alone and she says its dangerous, and then she gets all huffy and says "You don't trust me!" and whines until he lets her go, she gets tricked by the Serpent, eats the fruit and comes back to Adam and he's like I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT.

The grammatical gender is always masculine, IIRC. But the Divine nature has neither parts nor passions, and is metaphysically simple. (This was accepted by both the Eastern and Western Churches, and by Luther and Calvin.) So the use of "nonbinary" is simply not relevant to God.

236 James Talarico went to Austin Seminary, which is Presbyterian (USA).A liberal denomination.

Many denominations of Presbyterians in this country; and I say this from ancestors of French Huguenots who became Presbyterian by marrying Scots, fleeing the Church of Scotland.

I was raised Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), who are one of the conservatives and Bible believing groups. Unshaken by secular woke beliefs.

Both Presbyterian (USA) and the Church of Scotland now accept both ghey marriage and gheys in the pulpit.

This explains his judgement, Ace. It was said over a decade ago, with numbers dropping rapidly in Presbyterian (USA) that they would eventually merge with Unitarians. He sounds Unitarian.

I am converting in months to become Roman Catholic. One reason due to the horrific betrayal of the Presbyterian Church USA. Most of the congregation left the church in FL due to the Presbytery vote of gheys in the pulpit. We fought. It was horrific.

There are wolves in sheep's clothing in every aspect of life, like this guy. Like the anti-ICE protesters, and those who support illegals with Bible verses picked out and determined under their lens as cafeteria "Christians."

Jesse Jackson Departs This Mortal Coil to Shake-Down Heaven and Demand God Give $300,000 p.a. Jobs to His Retarded Cousins and Staffers

He will be missed.

By some. I assume.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a defining figure in late 20th-century American politics and the civil rights movement, died early Tuesday at 84 after a prolonged battle with illness, according to a statement from his family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Jackson had been living with progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized in mid-November as his condition deteriorated. After disclosing the diagnosis publicly in 2017, Jackson referred to it as a "physical challenge" and continued to appear at public events and comment on political matters even as his health declined.

In a statement posted online, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said Jackson "died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family," describing him as a civil rights leader whose impact spanned generations.

President Trump weighed in with a lengthy tribute, noting that he had known Jackson "long before becoming President." Trump called him "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" and described him as "very gregarious -- someone who truly loved people."

He certainly loved lodging invented accusations of racism against companies and then coercing them into paying him millions and hiring on his staffers and useless family members.

Unrelated, except by the word "Rainbow:" Chuck Schumer wants to give the gay flag equal status with the American flag.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated the culture fight Sunday, announcing he will introduce federal legislation to make the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized symbol" -- elevating it to the same statutory category as the American flag, military service flags, and the POW/MIA banner.

In a post on X, Schumer accused President Trump of attacking "not just the LGBTQ community," but "all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC," after a Pride flag was removed earlier this month from the Stonewall National Monument.

"The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground," Schumer claimed, framing the episode as an assault on civil rights history rather than a dispute over federal flag policy.

The flap began after the Department of the Interior issued guidance directing that "non-agency" flags be taken down at National Park Service sites. The Pride flag flying near the Stonewall Inn came down under that directive before later being reinstalled.

Schumer's proposed legislation would lock in formal federal recognition for the Pride flag, placing it under congressional protection and insulating it from future administrative policy shifts.

22 As to the old story about JJ trying to wave the bloody shirt:

Jackson appeared on television and in media shortly after (including the next morning) wearing blood-stained clothing (a shirt or turtleneck/sweater), which he said came from King's blood.
Some eyewitness accounts and associates (including criticisms from figures like Ralph Abernathy or others in SCLC circles) accused Jackson of exaggerating his closeness to the dying King and/or deliberately smearing or rubbing blood on his shirt for dramatic effect or to appear more central to the event. This became a point of contention in later years, resurfacing during Jackson's political campaigns (e.g., criticisms from Ed Koch in 1988 or Al Sharpton in 2001 referencing the blood on clothes).

47 Well, this alleged Reddit story on Jackson takes a surprise twist:

I met him once in the late '90's when I tended bar for a private party for him and his gaggle of hangers on.

By then, the fame and money had gotten to him and it was sad to see him devolving into a celebrity caricature performing for his fans instead of a true leader.

His entourage were snooty, entitled, wealthy elitists who enjoyed mistreating "the help", with the exception of Marion Barry who was lovely, and reassured me they were naturally like that and that their treatment of me wasn't personal.

He hung out with me instead of them because he couldn't stand their hypocrisy. He was there for the cause, not for the celebrity.

109 Schumer's proposal was prompted by the trump administration removing the pride flag at the Stonewall monument. Folks, that's the first pride. That's the beginning of the fight for equal rights of lgbtq people.

Such a bill is useless political theater. The people of New York City will just put the flags back illegally anyway.

Schumer and Jeffries will do absolutely anything to avoid confronting the real problems. While I think its good legislation, it isnt the fucking priority.

Real bold of Schumer too after NYC basically laughed at the administration and said "Nah". I'm still going to vote against you in the primaries

Schumer is pretty much a useless twit, but maga is really trying to erase lgbtq people. This is a fight to prevent people from sending lgbtq kids to conversion camps where they are basically tortured mentally and sometimes physically to act straight, to prevent queer and trans people from being murdered.

Politicians are so stupid. Dems have republicans on the ropes, not because they have great ideas but because MAGA can’t stop making things worse for themselves. All Dems have to do is not do something stupid. Like this.

189 We have a whole new crew taking their place: Crockett, AOC, Jeffries, Lemon, the Squad...

Are there any Squad members still in office who are black? I think Cori Bush lost. The others are all Muzzies or Latina. I'm looking for black race hustlers. And while in office, Jeffries won't be on scene working up a mob.

Don Lemon might be a candidate, but then he shouldn't have been crying about getting indicted, he should have held a press conference riling up a bunch of supporters gathered around him about the injustice against a black man. Instead he tried to make it about "First Amendment press" persecution.

That's what I mean; today's hustlers don't know what it takes to make a long-term race grift.

Or, we could all be adults and realize that sexual preferences don't necessarily require announcement or proclamation. The don't require parades. They don't require paraphernalia. They don't require a protective status, which only results from the former personal choice of publicizing ones preferences.

Oh, and that ole' pesky addage that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and slamming a rainbow colored flag in front a person doesn't really accomplish anything other than questioning the assailant's motivation for thinking that would make me give a sh*t.

He also was a good speaker and had a positive effect on some people. He claimed Christianity so I hope he got right with God and repented and that his friends and families receive strength and comfort .

Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

During the conversation about stonewall he mentioned "we didn't have transgender, but we would offer ourselves by tying our shirts, since crossdressing was illegal, (or some shit)" he said,and went on like that for a couple senetences, then he said that being there during the start of the riots, when they very started, he was 14.

So was it Stonewall that's sacred ground? or that 14 year old crossdressing wannabe tranny that Schumer MAY have have came "across" or some other preposition, IYKWIMAITYD, almost 60 years ago?

Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"

You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.

Google will absolutely not let you find the story that prompted his comment. It's pretty hard to find it on X, requiring you to write out the exact headline.

But it's true, the never-ending cultural imperialism of the Umma now wants you to give up your dogs.

Here's what this vicious Colonizer and advisor to Zohran Mamdani said:

nerdeenhatesdogs.jpg


A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'

'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.

After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.

'[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote.

'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it.

'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.'

Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.



This is not a new story: Muslims have been demanding a ban on dogs in the Western countries they colonize for years.


More from David Strom.

The rabid Gaza propagandist and caller-for-the-destruction-of-Israel took the chance to spit up more propaganda about the Gaza Dog Genocide:

The Colonizer now offers three completely contradictory defenses: In some posts, she says she was just "joking" and now all the "Zionists" are upset, which was her intention.

But she also claims this is all very serious, because "conversations" to ban dogs are already occurring in the government.


Nerdeen Kiswani
@NerdeenKiswani

16h

Some people are rewriting the timeline around the "dog discourse," so here are the actual receipts.

I did not start this conversation. I stepped into one that NYC politicians, media, and thousands of residents were already having.

So is it a joke, or a serious policy initiative?


In the below post, she says she was serious, but only because she doesn't want these magnificent creatures locked up in tiny apartments, but roaming free on the city streets as they do in shithole Muslim countries.

Nerdeen Kiswani
@NerdeenKiswani

17h

People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks.

If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.

2/16/26 - On Dogs And Those Who Hate Them

Some of us have lived in Muslim countries and understand how they treat dogs, @jaketapper. During one of my deployments, we had to inform the locals, in no uncertain terms, that no, they would not conduct their annual dog cull. In other words, they were not going to go out and kill every stray dog they could find. And they wisely complied.

Your fake fussy outrage doesn't overcome what we saw.

I expect there are some Muslims who don't consider dogs haram and who are willing to treat dogs in the manner of civilized people. That doesn't mean that's not a tenet of faith for a significant portion of Muslims. A significant number of Muslims hate dogs. And, in fact, some Muslims who have come to the West have demanded that we accommodate their bigotry against these wonderful creatures.

So, no. I'm not going to accommodate anyone who dislikes dogs for any reason. My dogs are more important than people who hate or dislike dogs. If you think that makes me a bad person or a bigot, I am completely indifferent to your opinion.

This is not open to debate. We're going to keep our dogs as we always have. If you come to our civilization, you're going to respect our pets, or there's going to be trouble. John Wick is the moderate position on this issue.

Fellow vets, feel free to share your dog stories from the Muslim world for the benefit of @jaketapper and others who want to shame you into submission.

44 You have AOC talking about a wealth tax. Why? - because she was told that is the next step by the WEF or whomever. Same as she was told to push the green newd eal.

Well you also have a big push to remove dogs from the West. To "accommodate" these barbarians. The Home Office in UK is pushing to reduce dogs and pubs in the rural districts. This is a coordinated push, and the next step in their slow boil conquest.

There will be push back, but will we send them all back to their sand hill peninsula? No, not yet. Soon. When will we realize it is coordinated.

45 One of the questions that isn't being asked here is why are lefties so keen on making accommodations for Muslims when their stock answer to Christians concerned about things the government/FNM/mass society does is to tell us to FO.

And the answer, in part, is that Christians do just FO. Muslims though? "He responds with a full beheading gesture pointed right at the pup. "

ehhhh not really

Chows are for instance very happy in the city. They are pretty non-athletic and very clean. Two walks a day and to do their business and they're good. They don't jump and aren't huge on running. (they can still tear the face of a slapping Muslim)

When I was living in town a guy in our building had Irish Wolfhounds! They were just couch potatoes! excellent city dogs, believe it or not. We met up on the Parkway and the dogs would say hi and quickly pee and all of us would just go back up the elevator lol.

you just have to get the right dogs for the apartment situation. and it can be (certain) a big dog.

When I was stationed in Egypt in 1990, all of our observation posts had a pet dog, a rescue from the packs of ferals roaming around the desert. It was such an institution that the Army adjusted the MTOE for the support company to add an Army veterinarian for the dog's health.

We had an incident where a pack of ferals got under the wire of a remote outpost and tried to attack the post dog. The soldiers fought off the pack with buttstocks and bayonets until the squad leader said "screw this" and popped a couple of dogs with some 5.56 justice. He got Article 15'd and demoted from E6 to E5, but decided that it was worth it.

161 Banning dogs, like allowing prayer on streets, is a way for them to assert that their needs as a muslim is superior to anyone else's.

It is a way of establishing the order of power, with islam on top. They accept our rules when inferior (in numbers and power) but when superior, we have to accept their rules. Forcing us to is the goal. It is a pure power play and they are taught every Friday that a day will come that the West will be conquered and it is their job to force the issue with every encounter with a non-muslim. They get points for being obnoxious to us. That is their slave labor of conquest.

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia


Actually, that's a mistranslation that started in the 19th century and has frustratingly never gone away.

When German/Austrian early psychologists first starting coining words with the Greek suffix "...phobia." their original intended meaning was "loathing" or "disgust' or "revulsion." When their works were first translated into English, however, the new German words were translated inaccuarely to mean "fear of." That mistranslation stuck, and to this day almost everyone thinks that "-phobia" as a suffix means "fear of," when in fact it was supposed to mean "revulsion at."

No, The Inquisition was a court established to secure the Reconquista.

They mostly expelled the traitors and invaders, seizing their property for the church. They were greatly feared as if you were suspected of being an underground muzzie, they would stick you in a cell for weeks as they investigated. They actually killed very few but that what they are blamed for. They did confiscate a lot of assets and made a lot of mistakes, but that is always the case with such absolute power.

229 I swear every house on the street has at lease one dog. I've cursed some (actually many) of the owners but generally like all of the dogs.

A dog is much better protection than a door or window camera where I live (fairly looking area in the daytime) any day of the week. Had people try to pry a rear window up one evening when I was inside by myself. The last dog (passed last June) detected it well before I did and ran them off.

Once owned a little terrier that someone had tied onto a pole along a highway. She became a great guard dog as she sounded huge & potentially violent when anyone knocked or loitered outside.

A collection of lies, falsehoods and demonstrably untrue cult beliefs, easily proven historically false, and having no basis in truth or fact. The cult was only spread by forced conversion, and any attempt to leave it generally results in threats of violence or murder. In fact thousands were forced converted, and to this day entire societies remain under the control of this cult. The central figures in the cult were also known pedophiles, murderers and criminals.

Posted by: Bulg at February 17, 2026 03:23 PM (77rzZ


Post 1491 it was for identifying and expelling Jews from Spain, and as a lot of them were Spanish first and Jewish second there was a large Converso population (the rest emigrated and became the Ladino population in the Med) Part of the function was to identify New Christians who were backsliders or falsely claiming to be converts - hence the term "secret Jew".
Spanish has a saying that "new Christians eat pork three times a day" both riffing on the fact that the jews in Spain often had been rich through being traders and bankers but that they also had to prove their conversion. It is used now to say that new converts are the most enthusiastic.
In chasing down the false Conversos, it also chased down heretics, though that was a side issue in Spain.
Heresy was often political, since it was seen as treason to the crown, so that was a later function of the inq.

(thank you for allowing me to use my BA in Spanish)

333 Islam is a heresy of Christianity, wherein all personal responsibility is removed so long as one's head hits the mat five times a day. "Islam" means submission, to Allah, who is an animist moon god from Arab antiquity. Allah is above any and all human understanding, so he acts however he likes, without any logic or sensible motivation.

Where Christians are urged to be more Christlike, muzzies are urged to be more Mohammed like, which means fear of dogs, marrying 9-year-olds, sex with little boys and goats because pleasure is "rational" in their culture, and all the rest of the nonsense. There is no Confession, no Absolution, no sense of sin or atonement, only submission to Allah.

Hence all the murdering and raping. Nothing can be denied to he who is like Ol' Moe.

Catholicism was the basis for the kingdom, and any political heresy was a revolt against the state. Jews kept themselves socially separate from the main culture (though they did not live in ghettos and Jewish towns like the Ashkenazi in Eastern Europe) but due to their position in the caliphate and the Christian kingdoms they had better access to trade and were bankers and money lenders.
Many other Christians did this as well, the most famous was El Cid, Ruy Diaz Bibar who conquered and held Valencia - and Valencia was crushed for that as well. The major problem was a political and social one to unify multiple kingdoms, and the Ladinos did not fit.
as they became a colonial power and rich, it became a political issue, and the Inquisition became a political power without controls. That lasted until Napoleon's Iberian campaigns and the Bourbon aftermath

Yet Another "Trans" Mass Shooting the Media Will Pretend Was Perpetrated by a "Woman"

This mass shooting at a "youth hockey game."

They cannot stop mass-murdering children.

A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.


...


WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it.

Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.

Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.

The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.

This latest Trans Terrorist threatened he would "GO BERSERK" if people didn't respect his mentally-disordered fake pronouns.

One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light.

"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.

Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics?

If so, your perception is accurate.

Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.

I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

Dagen McDowell
@dagenmcdowell

New York Times avoids any mention that the alleged murderer at the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting is transgender.

(5 reporters!)

Gender identity must be relentlessly shoved down the gullet but quickly hidden when linked to any horror exposing the depravity of the crusade.

@SweetGaelicGirl

My own local FOX affiliate called the shooting a "family dispute." No mention that the perp was a transgender lunatic.

@FOX13News

You can't hate the media enough.

Quillette released this video -- "We Need to Talk About Why There Are So Many Trans Shooters" -- three or four trans shooters ago, depending on how you count.

17 MtF trannies make up a plurality of mass shootings since 2015.

And they are a tiny fraction of the population.

Now, the numbers here are easy to massage. If some inner city yute does a spray and pray on another gang is it a mass shooting? You'll see this sort of thing included in some data and not others.

BUT

Traditionally when the left wanted to make the case that school shooters were mostly white guys they excluded these sort of gang related incidents, and if we put the same filter on here that the danger from trannies because very very obvious.

55 The WSJ story on the Canadian Trans-murderer went out of its way to use female pronouns. The story had "she", "her" "hers" just about every line. Story did not allow comments. Wonder why

For Rhode Island Trans-killer, WSJ deployed no pronouns at all. It was proper name and non-gendered words like "shooter", "suspect" or "perpetrator.

I suppose the difference is that RI guy was so obviously 56 year old "male" whack job that even the WSJ could not spin him as a woman. Too bad. I wanted to read how they 'splained ex-wife and kids. Story used "Ex-wife" in headline, so when I clicked I was expecting story of how "she" killed "her" "ex-wife."

Stories of mass-murders have become more opaque than Kremlin watching at the height of the Cold War.

Yes, like I mention above those gang shootings are traditionally excluded from these metrics, and the left did that because they were trying to argue that mass shootings are a white male problem.

Well, maybe they were *before* the rise of trannies.

Which brings up an interesting point - how many of those earlier shooters would have also gone tranny in todays culture? The FNM made a big deal about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold being goth at the time...

Get cancer insurance. I was worried about cancer because I have a family history. Then I got testicular cancer. Every time I had a surgery, they cut a check. Every time I did chemo, they cut a check. This was on top of my reasonably good health coverage I had through work. Cancer sucked, but that part was awesome.

I know not everyone has health insurance, but cancer insurance wasn't expensive and it was great for me.

And, ignore for a moment the question of how paying someone to put a tattoo on you is showing YOUR creativity.

Does anyone think in aggregate that men don't like women with a strong creative side? Does pop culture argue men don't like women that can sing, or paint, or write?

Lots of guy wrestlers will tell you about the infamous, "oil check" where they will poke your butthole. I have no idea how commonly it happens during matches, but if it is happening, it needs to be handled for what it is: sexual assault.

245 > It is virtually impossible to have someone committed against their will. We tried to have a family member held for treatment, and the hearing was a joke. It was basically the person in need of treatment if they wanted to leave, if they said "yes", they were released. Once you've been through that, you know it's useless.

I've shared this before, but I briefly knew a guy in college who later with a knife killed his mom and sister's best friend. He was a druggy and a schizophrenic. His parents tried to commit him, but the courts said no.

248 The New Age. Psychological.

The women (citizens) with greatest potential to populate/repopulate the middle classes and truly care about local politics in particular have been worn down by the Left for the last quarter century, now it's the men's turn.

Different tactics in that those norms are being boxed in. They get jumped over in school, work, community, even spreading into some of their homes, and the Left picks up power via youth involvement, voting, etc.

And as more people lose their grip, mentally.

Change & retrain the backbone of the nation. The rich stay rich, the poor needy. Civil Society.

We have a relative that was a landscaper and had to use a ton of roundup. We assume some of their illnesses later in life were from exposure to roundup. But they are dead now, so they can't pursue a claim.

Same with the Johnson's baby powder. I had a relative that used that religiously every day. Passed from cancer.

At this point is doesn't matter, probably. They've already deliberately introduced round-up resistant genetics into field crops, which will undoubtedly spread to wild plants if they haven't already, so Round-up itself is now moot as an herbicide, and they probably have some new terrible herbicide waiting in the wings.

So the company can afford to let the product go.

And any one who did so would be disqualified.

The only reason the ref didn't then and there was because he feared the hate storm from dq'ing a trannie more than enforcing the rules.
And yes, the ref knew he did that to her, he saw exactly where his hand was.
That was no where near inadvertent "in the course of a wrestling move."

The gal is a liberal, we usually strictly avoid talking politics, I suspected she was liberal but didn't know until Sunday. She mentioned the 911 memorial and I said that I didn't think Bush handled that real well as most of them were Saudis and Bush let SA off the hook. I have mentioned to her that my job may go poof because Trump admin wants to greatly weaken NCAR, disburse its programs. I'm not in disagreement with the admin on that, NCAR has been and is very lefty. I think our little sub-group just creates honest data products useful for weather modeling; and that is probably true for 2/3 of NCAR but they have pushed CO2 Climate Change BS forever. Sadly most of the atmospheric research folks in the U.S. and Europe buy into that theory. I think there is strong tendency to trust what your colleagues publish, and junior folks were also indoctrinated in HS, and college.

The farms use roundup as a spot treatment to kill weeds in the grass seed fields, it is stained with a dye so the guys can see what they spray. The workers (mostly hispanics here) are out all day with the Solo tank sprayers on their backs pumping and spraying, and they have told me that they come home at night with these dye stains all over them because the equpment always leaks and dribbles, and they spill it when they fill the sprayers, and it runs through their "protective" clothing which is mostly long sleeve dress shirts they buy used from Goodwill, and jeans.
They can wash their hands when they stop to eat lunch, but they are covered in the stuff as long as they spray. This does not include the equipment operators who have masks and coveralls and run the spray rigs and eat the overspray as long as they run the equipment and service it. That stuff is not dyed, they just use a foam marker to show where they have been in the field.

I used to use it to spray roads.

Posted by: PaleRider at February 17, 2026 02:09 PM (Mu+YQ)


A mass shooting is not necessarily a mass murder. Murders get top billing by the blood-lusting media. Mass or single shooting woundings, meh, likely no mention by the major news outlets unless it is someone famous. I'll bet there are a lot more mass shootings by the gun-hater's definition nationwide than you think.

351
Scientific consensus on the danger of Roundup (active ingredient: glyphosate) is mixed and highly debated, with major agencies providing conflicting conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (2015), citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conversely, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European agencies maintain it is "not likely to be carcinogenic" when used as directed.

While some studies and legal outcomes suggest a danger, particularly at high or prolonged exposure levels, global regulatory bodies do not universally agree that it is a carcinogen for the general population.
