Quick Hits
A supposedly healthy young man, James Talarico, has his campaign putting out the word that he's been missing in action for 11 days due to the flu.
The flu? It takes a 30 year old a week and a half to get over the flu? And he can't even make brief appearances during his long convalescence?Ed MorrisseyTrump says he's hearing "bad rumors." So he's confirming my theory that Talrico is suffering from The AIDS Crazies.
@EdMorrissey As of this morning, Talarico's campaign schedule does not have a single event for the candidate planned before the election. That's not the "flu," that's the "fled."
Ladies and Gentlemen, upon information and belief, James TalaFREAKo, who is running for the United States Senate in Texas, is MISSING IN ACTION! No one has seen him for an extended period of time. Where is he? What is wrong with him? Bad rumors are coming out. He should immediately report to a Debate Stage against Ken Paxton, who is ready, willing, and able, one of the best Attorney Generals in the Country, and will soon be, hopefully, a United States Senator representing the Great People of Texas! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPTwitchy tells Bari Weiss to get her absurd Democrat operatives under control.
CBS News
@CBSNews The U.S. Senate candidates in Texas could hardly be more different: James Talarico, a former seminarian turned Democratic state lawmaker who speaks in calm cadences about love and empathy, and Ken Paxton, the pugnacious Republican state attorney general who speaks about a refusal to compromise.
ElizaRenae
@eliza_renae Hey @bariweiss the health reporter who wrote this article you're using, Darius Tahir, is an activist stenographer. This language is laughably loaded and biased. Describing Paxton as 'pugnacious' and 'non-compromising' while portraying Talarico as a 'calm' 'seminarian' is preposterous. Talarico is a mouth-foaming radical who is so far out of the mainstream that he would stand out in Portland as a kook. He is creepily obsessed with mutilating and sterilizing other people's children. His economic policies are straight out of the DSA manual, and neither his church nor his seminary affirm the deity or necessity of Christ.
Balls were dropped in the case of the Muslim extremist FlyDubai co-pilot.
Even Israel dropped the ball. Which means that hormone-drenched madwoman Ana Kasparian is about to accuse them of deliberately allowing the poor Muslim to be used as a prop for Mossad propaganda.
A string of security failures across Oman, the UAE and Israel allowed the flydubai co-pilot to get into the cockpit, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found. The lapses nearly led to an aviation disaster reminiscent of 9/11, despite authorities having reasons to be concerned about him. The failures began in Oman, where authorities had scrutinised Hamam al-Hammami's online activity and found he showed too much interest in radical ideology to be trusted as a pilot at state carrier Oman Air. They banned him from flying, sent him to a deradicalisation programme and moved him to a desk job, but did not broadly communicate their concerns about him. Oman flagged him, but the warning did not travel When al-Hammami joined flydubai in February, the airline did not contact Oman to vet his previous experience, the WSJ reported. It conducted a criminal-background check, but the earlier concerns that had led Oman to remove him from flying were not passed on to the new employer. The operator, flydubai, later assigned him to the sensitive Tel Aviv route, which he flew multiple times. Oman's handling of the case also created another missed opportunity. People familiar with the matter said that had the country formally withdrawn al-Hammami's pilot licence over its concerns, the action would likely have been flagged to the UAE. Instead, the concerns about his extremism were not communicated more widely.
... Airline operator flydubai had submitted the manifest for Flight 1073, but Israel's transportation ministry said it did not believe it had the authority or expertise to vet foreign flight crews. The ministry also said it had never asked to access a database created in 2023 to help authorised agencies review passenger and crew information because it did not know the database was operational or that it could use it. There was an even more basic warning that should have stopped al-Hammami from flying to Israel. Pilots from countries such as Oman, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, are barred from flying to the country. Yet al-Hammami was allowed onto the Tel Aviv-bound flight.The hordes of Aspiring Doctors and Engineers just keep proving what immense assets they are to America.
The K-8 school River City Science Academy (RSCA) in Jacksonville, Florida, has confirmed to Mazelit's Corner that their after-school teacher who recently went on a viral rant against Jews has now been fired. "The staff member in question is no longer associated with RSCA or any of our campuses" said Laura Palarine, the school's media rep, on Thursday morning. The staff member in question? Miss. Jaden Salameh, a Florida TikToker and now disgraced-teacher -- whose words shocked hundreds of thousands of Jewish netizens when she posted a TikTok video of herself titled "My controversial opinions that are 100% correct." In her video -- which has been viewed nearly half a million times on X alone -- Jaden Salameh argues a litany of antisemitic tropes to her audience on her now-deleted TikTok page. "There's one group of people who own literally everything," the self-described Palestinian woman says, adding that Jews "own the banking system, the White House, the legislative, executive, judicial branch." "We send all of our money to this country," she claimed, adding that Israel was "literally curated out of thin air."Mamdani showed up at an alleged vigil to honor the victims of October 7, whom he essentially said were valid targets due to Israel's occupation of Gaza. Even though he is obviously a strong supporter of terrorist murder and rape, Muslims
heckled him for not being honest enough in his pro-Hamas agitation.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed up at a Union Square vigil marking the Oct. 7 massacre, candle in hand, and the people who helped put him in office were waiting outside the barricades to inform him that the revolution does not do thank-you notes.
Not even a little bit. Honestly, he had to know this was going to happen. These crazy pro-Palestinian nutballs flip out if the people they support don't spend every minute hating Israel. It's what they do. These same pro-Palestinian protesters banged drums over the speakers, branded him a traitor and a sellout, and charged the city's first Muslim mayor with genocide for the crime of standing near Israelis who were mourning their dead.
Mamdani is stone-faced as the protesters call him a traitor and sellout. https://t.co/oXducpYsMR

Anti-Mamdani chants at the protest: "Zohran, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?" "700,000 dead. Mamdani, your hands are red!" "Traitor, traitor, come on out! You sold all your people out!" "Zohran, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide!" Protesters chant: "We don't care about where you're from. You cannot talk about being Muslim anymore. You cannot weaponize being brown anymore. Identity politics can only get you so far." One protester announces: "I used to intern for Zohran Mamdani. He was never working for the people."

Brian Stelter is angry that Trump wants to decide which reporters ask questions. Remember Biden's cheat sheet showing which reporter to call on, showing a picture of the reporter so that he knew her face, showing the correct pronunciation of her name, and spelling out the exact question she agreed to ask? So that Biden could appear to be cogent by offering a pre-rehearsed "answer"? Sex Machine has never even mentioned that.
Yes, we can't have a president choosing which reporters ask him questions now, can we.

We could have had the first female president. Instead, we got a fucking bitch.
Imagine the timeline if Hillary could have continued Obama’s success. Where we could be now. Instead it’s endless wars, boner pills and prediction sites
Imagine if Bernie wasn't hamstrung by his own party and was able to win the primary. Impossible to know for sure, but I believe he would have beaten Trump.
I'd have been surprised if they didn't pick Paxton. Cornyn was a guy who kept his head down and got the work done, always careful to toe the party line.
Paxton has been icy-hot stunting in the news for years now with his endless culture-war bullshit, full-on criminal behavior and enough scandals to fill several of those full-size HEB shopping carts.
MAGA sees the latter as someone who's doing important things, an underdog who cares about what they care about being unfairly attacked and slandered by the liberal media because he's fighting so loudly for the cause.

He regularly holds himself to be more tolerant and enlightened than God. He would be accurately depicted as a religious zealot if he was pledging to get biblical in office on behalf of traditional Christians instead of immigrants and LGBT crowd.
But he does this calmly so it’s ok, I guess?

The videos are INSANE> The boy is a literal DEMON. A white lady counselor is controling him by cradling him in her arms and asking if he shot injured by the backfire, and he replies, "Fuck you white bitch! Fuck you!" and points in her face. When the cop crouches down to confirt him, the kid tried to linge at him and yells "You want a piece of me, bitch? No? Pussy!" etc. Goes on like that for several minutes.
Zero remorse, zero shame, zero guilt. He acts like a wolverine on meth, lashing out violent at all white people within eyesight. It's quite obvious that if he still had the gun in hand, he'd shoot them all.
The kid is now nine years old. Lord known how many people he'll kill by the time he hits 13.

I once heard a story of a CEO's personal assistant DEMANDING a new, high end phone. The group looked at her use case and employment level and denied her. She then went into the stairwell and kicked the phone down several flights of stairs. Soon she made a new request for a high end phone, citing her broken phone as the reason for her need. The group then provided the CEO with the camera footage from inside the stairwell. The personal assistant got a much older, much crappier phone than the one she destroyed.

Considering what the Turks did to him and his family members as a yute plus corrupting a lot of his supposed countrymen, that is what made him.
Andrew Jackson was the same way from his treatment as a yute in the Revolutionary War
"Andrew Jackson served in the American Revolutionary War as a teenager, making him the last U.S. President to participate in the conflict and the only one who was a prisoner of war. Enlisting at age 13 as a courier for the Patriot militia, he participated in the Battle of Hanging Rock in August 1780 alongside his brothers Hugh and Robert.
His service was marked by tragedy and brutality; after being captured by the British in 1781, he refused to polish a British officer's boots and was slashed with a sword, leaving permanent scars on his head and hand. During his imprisonment, he and his brother contracted smallpox, and upon release, he found that his brother Robert had died, followed shortly by their mother Elizabeth, leaving Jackson an orphan at age 14.

France Races Towards a Debt Crisis as the Nation Continues to be Besieged by Violent Foreigners Demanding to be Paid for Peace
Before getting to that, let me offer a completely-unrelated bit of history. Via Google AI:
Danegeld was a tax raised in Anglo-Saxon England and Francia from the 9th to the 11th centuries to pay tribute or protection money to Viking raiders to stop them from ravaging the land. Key Historical Facts • Meaning: The word comes from Old English, literally translating to "Dane payment" or "Dane yield". • Early Tribute vs. Army Tax: Originally known as gafol when paid directly to Vikings as bribes, it later evolved into a kingdom-wide land tax called heregeld (army tax) used to fund a standing defensive force or pay mercenary armies. • King Æthelred the Unready: The practice became most prominent during the reign of King Æthelred II (978--1016), who paid massive quantities of silver pennies (such as £10,000 in 991 CE and up to £48,000 in 1012 CE) to buy off invadersWith that irrelevant, off-topic mention of large bribes paid to violent invaders to not loot and pillage and kill them, let's turn to a completely different subject. France's, uh, guests are demanding, supposedly, more "resources" for schools. This demand comes at a very bad time. Because France's dysfunctional government is made up of alleged "centrists" and even some "conservatives" in a coalition with socialists and communists, no one can agree on a budget. So they just keep borrowing money, growing the deficit more and more. You can only borrow freely until the markets begin to doubt you can ever repay your debts. And then the cost of borrowing rises, and you have to borrow more and more at higher and higher interest rates until it becomes impossible to repay the debt and then people stop lending you money completely, and your finances collapse. France is now in this doom-loop of increasing debt and compounding interest on the debt.
For most of the past decade, lending money to France was considered almost as safe as lending money to Germany. That belief is now breaking down, and it is happening fast. Last week, investors demanded up to 5% a year to lend to the French government for 10 years. France had not faced borrowing costs that high on its 10-year bonds since July 2002. The extra return investors want to hold French debt instead of German debt rose to its highest level since the eurozone debt crisis of 2011-2012. France now pays more to borrow than Italy and Greece, two countries that sat at the centre of that crisis. This matters well beyond the bond market. Government borrowing costs influence the rates on mortgages and business loans and the interest bill that every French taxpayer ends up covering. ... Beyond the rise in France's 10-year bond yield to 5%, its widening gap with Germany shows investors are increasingly concerned about French debt. Its premium over Germany's equivalent Bund reached 152 basis points, or 1.52 percentage points, returning to levels associated with the 2011 eurozone crisis. Intesa Sanpaolo strategists, led by Gian Marco Salcioli, argue that the speed of the move matters more than its level. When yields jump this fast, they say, the fear shifts from the price of borrowing to the risk of not being repaid in full, and France is the clearest example. "The move tends to transform rate risk into something broader, first and foremost credit risk," Salcioli said in a note to clients. Díaz-Alvarez said this was "the largest weekly widening in said spread in seventeen years."
Politico 4 Kidz, Axios:
Meanwhile, the foreign guests continue ravaging the countryside while demanding the peasants pay them more money in exchange for a few months of pillage-free "peace."
France is dealing with a major debt crisis and social unrest ahead of its presidential election next year. Why it matters: Worries are rising about contagion in Europe and beyond, and the situation is drawing comparisons with the sovereign debt crisis that rocked the European Union in the 2010s. "Government bond yields in France are spiraling out of control. Contagion to the rest of high-debt Europe is unfolding rapidly," Brookings' Robin Brooks wrote recently. Where it stands: Yields on government debt are rising across Europe and in the U.S., but the situation in France is worse. Investors are demanding higher yields to hold French debt, compared with bonds from Germany, which are seen as a safer alternative.
On Friday, the difference, or spread, between the two countries' bond yields, was the widest it has been since the debt crisis. The spread is widening due to "higher sovereign default risk in France," Macquarie's Thierry Wizman wrote in a note Thursday titled: "Are the French Toast?"

The majority of these people causing chaos across France don't appear to be students.
Smashing up cities, cutting down trees and destroying public property is not protesting. You're destroying the very communities you live in, leaving ordinary people to pick up the pieces and pay the price. Watching this unfold across Europe, it's becoming increasingly difficult to shake the feeling that Europe's decline is inevitable. https://t.co/YshGOIEyYV— Ben Graham (@BenGrahamUK) October 8, 2026
The problem looming over these riots is that France has a large population of young people who are immigrants or the children/grandchildren of immigrants that are simply not employable. They will not work and employers will not risk hiring them.
They are not citizens in any meaningful sense, but an unassimilated third world horde, unemployable and ultimately ungovernable.— John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) October 5, 2026

There is a second example from British history even older than the Dane Geld. As Rome started dying off in the West the central government cut of Britain, told them to work out their issue of raiders and pirates on their own because they could not - they were basically working on the south coasts of France and Spain and Italy proper. This was somewhere in the 410s AD.
So the British locals called up some Saxon tribesmen to defend their shores from the pirates and raiders, which worked for a while. Then after a bit of looking around at the situation, with Saxons being the sole military around, they started taking over the part of England in the South and next to the channel. Kent, Isle of Wight, all that area. And the other Angles and such followed them in.

Not really, reserve currencies are different. It is more that debt financing gets much worse the more it is external to the state. In an ideal world, the currency can depreciate, making the country produce cheaper goods and consume less imported ones, but stuck in the Eurozone, France cannot resort to that.

I would phrase it put off the crisis rather than talking their way out of it. There are tactics that a large debtor can use that smaller ones cannot. And that applies to countries too--too big to fail means that the other countries in the Eurozone are forced to do things like require payins by those with savings and liquid assets to prop up the currency. Works in the short run but destroys trust in the long run just like formal defaults or allowing massive inflation as a soft default does.

The Germans had a huge crisis with mortgage fraud but instead of what we did by letting some banks fail and jailing a few peeps, they papered it over and hid the fact that their actual assets are fraudulent. This makes them desperate to hang on to the actual assets too, like the Belgian banks clinging to the 300 billion Russian money they froze years ago. The EU wants to steal it, the banks need to keep it to save the house of cards for the moment.

Sorry but that ain't ever gonna happen. In less than 5 years social security goes "bankrupt" and every single person drawing a SS check will have to take at least a 10% haircut and those people vote in huge numbers. The only way to avoid that is to increase deficit spending even more which is what will happen.
Realistic projections have SS, medicare/medicaid and interest on the debt consuming 100% of all federal tax revenues before 2032 with that growth at least doubling every 10 years.

If I was a US international company, I would be wary of this shit myself.

Germany is looking at de-industrialization, France is looking at a bond and financial crisis, and Italy has PM Meloni talking to the US about a bilateral trade agreement. The Euro does not have sufficient value in it to support it as a straight fiat currency, and there really is not enough ability to satisfy anyone that the Euro based bonds are worth taking a risk on since there may not be any ability to pay them back except in inflationary Euros maybe. No matter how much everyone likes using Euros for foreign exchange, it is looking risky to hold those .
the bad news is that they hold a lot of US Treasuries and bonds, and will probably start dumping them for things like buying diesel, so the Treasury auctions will be depressed which will look like an economic failure. The good news is that the Treasury will be buying them back at a discount, possibly wiping out US debt.
Maybe if France defaults, this time we can ask them to occupy Iran for us.

Stealing Russian assets and trying to liquidate them was a blunder, because plenty of people abroad who stash money in foreign banks for a "rainy day" at home suddenly found out the EU could pull out the carpet on them. So these kind of accounts started leaving for safer shores.
But the problem behind the problem is that EU-socialism was always robbing Peter to save Paul, making your system weaker over time. What happens when Peter and Paul are both equally sickly? What happens when you have a hundred administrators managing Peter to Paul payments instead of one?

If the border is tight, then I would prefer if these foreign murderers and rapists and thieves were just deported. Tell the foreign country what their sentence is and let them decide what to do with them. I just don't care as long as it does not cost us anything and they are not on US soil.

I am used to a far higher level of insults when I submitted papers for peer review or at conferences. I don't get riled much about it.
But simply most of the macroeconomics I learned including Chicago and Vienna schools as well as Keynesian and Marxist, are not borne out in reality. Microeconomics is pretty much a science which relies on price as its key foundation. Macro depends on what assumptions you make about what is good, bad, etc. and then you see the real world makes a pig's breakfast over assertions from a model because your model is underspecified (doesn't include all relevant variables). Tariffs are a perfect example. Taxes are another, so is borrowing, GDP, national debt, inflation, etc.
We can find little truths but there is no big truth that we can trust even analyzing a domestic economy; it gets far worse when we bring in a multiplicity of other foreign actors into the equation.
So no, simple thoughts don't make for reality.
And fwiw, Dave in Florida was not wrong but the Democrat fraud was so massive that it made him look wrong in 2020. I was right there when that happened.

Social welfare bought votes, bought participation, and was always a ready source of corruption. One of the things Milei has done is push the price of social services back onto the provincial governments when he couldn't cut them completely, and this makes counting centavos important. I believe that Minister of Public Security Patricia Bullrich is also quite focused on stomping out corruption. This was not focused on last time, and it is why they had to drop the peg

Milei also seeded the ideas of it by talking publicly about the economics for near on 20 years, and the Argentines had gone through so many economic cycles they were tired of them. Argentina has not had a 30 year bond go through to maturity since 1890, and they were facing a hyperinflation again. It helps that he is an outsider and gathered a very talented team to be his cabinet. I have no idea if there is that level of talent in any EU state anymore.

Cornell Sexual Assault Survivor: This Whore Sodomized Me While I Was Too Drunk to Consent
By "sodomized," he means she gave him a blow-jay while he was drunk and passing in and out of sleep. Therefore, by the credibly-accused rapist's own argument, he was unable to consent to such an act and she raped him by mouth.
And this is not a sex act you can force on someone except through actual force -- holding a knife to their neck, for example. Which is not what she claims happened. She claims she had just been too drunk to give "real" consent. And oral sodomy is an act, I'm told, which requires considerable effort and seems unlikely to be performed by someone too drunk to even form the mental state of consent. Why is there no justice for this sexual assault survivor?'Cornell 7' frat bro claimed accuser 'sodomized' him and that school didn't care he was sex-assault 'survivor:' report The frat brother at the center of the "Cornell 7" gang-rape allegations claimed to campus officials that the accuser "sodomized" him -- and complained nobody cared he was a sex-assault "survivor," an explosive new report says. ... Ingalls -- the Chi Phi brother who the accuser said sparked her alleged 2024 gang rape -- wrote to campus officials in a seething email that the Ivy League school was guilty of "gender discrimination" and "entrapment" as it conducted its investigation into him and six of his fraternity brothers over the alleged horror. "You received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?" Ingalls said in the February 2025 missive to Cornell's Title IX office and obtained by ABC. "The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination," he said. The email came three months after the woman, only identified as Jane Doe in her civil lawsuit involving the allegations, accused Ingalls of inviting her to his frat house and plying her with drugs and alcohol, then propositioning her for a three-way that quickly escalated into rounds of fraternity brothers stopping into the room to join in on the sex. Doe insisted she was too intoxicated to consent and called the incident rape -- something she also told Campus police in 2024, about three weeks after the alleged attack. But Ingalls was also drinking and drugging heavily that night -- with a 2024 statement from Doe describing how he kept falling asleep during the encounter before waking up to rejoin the alleged assault. After Doe made rape claims against him, Ingalls tried to frame his own intoxication to suggest that he was the victim that night, Cornell investigative documents showed.I mean, why isn't he? Heather MacDonald wants to know why, if there is a fraternity house rape crisis, do women keep going to fraternity houses? It's as if they know this whole "crisis" is made-up ideological horseshit.
Wow: New text drops showing "Jane Doe" was a willing participant in the orgy and was critical of those who thought she was a slut. She says she's catching a lot of "heat" from "the Phi Phi girls" -- sorority girls were calling her a slut. "I don't think we should feel any shame... our body our choice." And so, the accusations began, almost a month after the event.
"Believe survivors," the campus activists and leftist politicians admonish us. But which "survivor" statements are we supposed to believe? In the weeks following her alleged gang rape at a Cornell University frat house in 2024, "Jane Doe" was unequivocal: She had not been raped. A day after the incident, she texted one of her sex partners, saying "non (sic) of the sexual stuff was illegal and honestly I really liked being with u" -- and she suggested another get-together. The next day she texted him again, including an affectionate note: "I luv you king." She angled herself an invitation to the annual Halloween party at the frat where she was allegedly raped. Up to that point, Doe's statements and her behavior had been consistent: She considered herself a voluntary participant in group sex, after she'd deliberately downed 10 shots of alcohol. After the alleged assault she solicited further contact with her rapists, considered them her friends and sought to revisit the crime scene for more partying. For an actual rape victim, such behavior is inconceivable. But the rumor mill was circulating: Jane Doe's sorority mentor told her that people were shaming her as a "slut." The frat's president disinvited her from the party "for her own good." Doe was furious. That's when she played the assault card, nearly a month after the incident. Yet the campus rape industry cannot tolerate Doe's earlier honest self-evaluation. If females take full responsibility for their own behavior, the lucrative, bureaucracy-bloated grift will come crashing down. So the college assault complex has a surefire method for erasing such moments of clarity: Don't believe those "survivor" statements. Females are only credible as purported victims. As NPR put it last week, a victim's initial statements "often cannot be taken at face value" because they are the product of her "trauma." That means the only statements from a "survivor" that can be believed are statements claiming that she has been raped. College rape allegations, in other words, are unfalsifiable: Heads the campus rape complex wins, tails the truth loses. In fact, the seminal surveys of campus rape that jump-started the assault complex depended on this double standard. Go back to the 1987 study that produced the fantastical statistic that up to one in four co-eds will be sexually assaulted in college. To generate that finding, academic rape researchers did not ask "survivors" outright if they had been raped -- because doing so yielded disappointing results. Rather, the researchers decided whether or not an alleged victim had been raped, based on her description of her (overwhelmingly consensual) sexual encounters. When asked directly, 73% of the survey respondents whom the academics classified as victims said they had not been raped at all. The academics chose not to believe them. Even more damningly for the reliability of this research, 42% of the college women whom the researchers classified as sexual-assault victims went back for more sex with their putative assailants. Again, inconceivable behavior after being subjected to the second worst crime, after murder, a female can experience. Subsequent feminist rape studies have repeated this same discrepancy between the researchers' results and the subjects' own views.
This is a real rape victim you guys.
New text: Two days after the alleged gang rape, head alleged gang rapist tells Jane Doe she's an "amazing person" and he and the other guys are trying to stop the nasty gossip that's been circulating. She replies: "I don't think we should feel any shame... our body our choice" https://t.co/lQJjqo6hPk

By "sodomized," he means she gave him a blow-jay while he was drunk and passing in and out of sleep. Therefore, by the credibly-accused rapist's own argument, he was unable to consent to such an act and she raped him by mouth.

Saw in UK DM that someone swatted her parent's house (where I guess she's living). She probably made the phone call.
When I moved West I lived in a basement apt near campus (with 2 apt mates who were psych grad students I didn't know as arranged by the landlady). This house was basically down the street from some frat houses.
I'd be walking home from campus, about a mile, and walked in the street at times if there were frat brothers on porches. Some asking me in for a beer. I'd shake my head no and keep walking. It was as easy as that as I was no fool, even then. Naive country girl but not stupid. Why would I? There was beer in our apt and two guys (and their gf's) who were typically there when I got out of class and work.
From her text alone she was not ashamed, like a normal girl with values would be. She willingly participated and took their drugs.
I was an idiot at times in college, with a team of Guardian Angels taking turns watching over me. I was lucky but I also had morals and was not a ho. I also felt somehow my parents would find out if I was bad on top of God knowing. I was a good girl who still managed to have a lot of fun.
She is not a good girl.

@mtracey
Jane Doe lawyer Thomas Giuffra was already notorious for not doing basic due diligence to check stuff in his sensational rape-alleging lawsuits. Now he's got a random Marine he tried to serve, because he happens to have the same name as a defendant, begging the Court for relief
So basically if you happen to have the name "Matt Ingalls" and you weren't anywhere near the place, you STILL got your name dragged through the mud.
I'm just happy they didn't subpoena Laura Ingalls [Wilder] too.

Rape is also relatively rare, and almost nonexistent in college.
But the threat of rape is always kept in mind by women, because women are typically not able to defend themselves against a larger and more determined aggressor. So, carry. There is a lot of serenity in knowing the playing field is level.

Never make admissions until your attorney tells you to do so is the rule in criminal law. Always let your attorney do any communication because it prevents it from being used against the defendant in court.
Somewhat true in civil as well. People get into trouble all the time by not keeping their mouth shut in legal affairs.

$50k? On what planet?
For an undergraduate student, the estimated total cost of attendance at Cornell University for the 2026–2027 academic year is $99,734 per year for out-of-state students. However, because Cornell operates several state-contracted colleges, the price drops to $75,604 per year if you are a New York State resident enrolled in one of those specific programs.

Animal House was based on the ZBTs at Washington University, where Harold Ramis lived. They got their asses kicked off campus during his tenure there, mostly for the same excesses shown in the movie. They didn't go far, just a couple of blocks off campus, and as far as I know they are still there. But when I was at Wash U I didn't go anywhere near frat row. For one thing, architecture students have no time for that sort of nonsense, and for another, all the frats had hideous reputations. No thanks.

A few years ago I read an article by some upper middle class leftist hausfrau who had become a Satanist because she was mad at Trump in...The Atlantic?
Anyway she mentioned they don't really worship Satan because the chief Priest of Satan had told her so at the Satan Temple. And if you can't trust the chief Priest of Satan telling you something in the Satanic Temple while you pledge your loyalty to Satan I mean really who can you trust?

B/c Cornell has a policy that anyone under the influence cannot consent. Either party or gender. So, anything they do would get them expelled, even if consensual.

I was walking home from a friend's apt two miles away and goosed by a frat guy as I went up some stairs on the sidewalk. I immediately screamed,"You bastard" (I rarely cussed) and tried to hit him, and ran after him with the cast iron Dutch oven lid I was carrying. I have to assume my friend was coming that weekend to cook chili, and their car was broken as I didn't normally carry this lid. And, yes, I know I have told this before.
My male apt mates were enraged and made me call the police. A cop came and took the report. I hope I didn't mention the Dutch oven lid or it was probably like the Pittsburgh Scanner report to other cops.
I seriously would have beat the guy in the head with that lid and done some damage if I caught and tackled him. My weapon of choice slowed me down as I ran after him for about 20yds and then walked home po'd. This was by the park near our house at dusk.
This is how I dealt with frat boys.

NBC: Bernadette Greene-Placentia, 52, an Arizona congressional candidate says she was raped and thinks it may have been a politically motivated attack...The Democrat congressional candidate said she was raped in August while out fixing campaign signs along a road in the Phoenix metropolitan area at 2 am.
Oh. That's terrible. Especially at 2 AM, when is completely dark out, and nobody's around - clearly, the hatred and chaos that Donald Trump has caused in this country has made it unsafe for a middle-aged woman to be out in the middle of the night allegedly fixing campaign by herself. My jaw hurts.
While being "raped" Democrat candidate Greene-Placentia distinctly remembers hearing one of the her rapists say "Democrat bitch." I can only imagine the convenient horror. Thankfully the rapists didn't bring up her poll numbers.

B/c Cornell has a policy that anyone under the influence cannot consent. Either party or gender. So, anything they do would get them expelled, even if consensual. It's a very odd policy, but I guess one to try to stop all sex acts at frats and soroities (b/c the odds both parties will be 100% sober at those parties is...nil...)

Because you aren't allowed to "question a victim"
So normally people look at this case and say...oh she did it voluntarily, told the guys she liked it and...wanted to do it again? That's not rape.
Whereas for leftists it just stops at "a woman claims a group of frat boys raped her"

Know who I saw report rapes for the most part?
Mothers and/or fathers dragging their teenager(s) to a hospital.

Just another case of unintended consequences that a moment's logical thought would have countered.
No lawsuit could restore her reputation at Cornell, even if she won it. She can't sue the whisperers behind her back.
But she found some lawyers who were willing to chase a payout, but the money won't shut up the people whispering either.
The time for a little bit of thinking was when her crush wanted to share her at the frat house and she agreed.

Unless Cornell self insures, their insurance company(s) will make that call. They often force their side to settle or make the school risk its own money. Oberlin ended up having to sue its four insurance companies after they lost the Gibson bakery case by pigheadedly doubling down in public making it worse for the school. Ended up in a settlement of course.

No sign that the bros texting the larger group that message that the recipients had any responsibility unless you include knowing the douchebag and being a member of the fraternity as a responsibility.
They were dragged into the mud by the plaintiff unwillingly and like the Duke Lacrosse team, will have to prove their innocence while not even being around when the events occurred.

The Clancy Cult spins this as some sort of temporary trauma amnesia from being raped--not an admission she was tripping balls, black-out drunk--and so her "feels" that something bad happened is proof.
With the clumsy entrapment texts then as proof of guilt of the men.

I remember some SF writers silently postulating that big corps like IBM and ITT would be absorbing colleges into their borg and issuing degrees rather than what we have. It made a lot more sense, at least until the worthless college grads starting poisoning the administration of the corporations.

His mom wants him to get out of the house and commit to living in an apartment next year, this, after the wall to wall news of a Tri Delta pulling a train at the Cornell Chi Phi house.
I reminded her I tried to get him to go SAE and use his legacy status. SAE's been busted but only for hazing, not for being the campus porn channel.

The Cornell Chi Phi frat was shut down apparently after this. This is not a recent blowup but occurred about two years ago (under the Biden junta actually) with not much notice at all on the national scene. Reason it came up now is obviously an op to activate the AWFL brigade for the fall elections.
Basically to be in a frat (or a sorority) means being in the cross hairs of college administrators and wokists. And they intend collective punishment for whatever sins of the few did so they can maximize scalp taking. Thus the guys being leaked as recipients on the group text sent out by the black orgy bro.

One girl son, casanova, met in summer school:
Greek chick. During movie season of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." She fancied a non-Greek blonde dude & he fit the part.
He told me that she was coming over to study for a physics exam while we were at work. I was in the ED and got a call that she had "fainted." He explained it all to me and when he dialed 91 of 911 she woke. He'd given her OJ and, like Rhett in Gone With the Wind, carried her to HIS BED. Then called his friend a block away to follow him as he drove her car home (she refused the ED, probably because I was there).
I questioned him later and said, she didn't faint (you big dummy!). She never got sweaty or pale. Fell dramatically back onto the sofa gracefully vs a done fall out.
He went with her to the MD the next day where she fake fainted again with blood tests.
She went to UF to stalk him that fall. Came to his apt one day and tried the old faint thing again. He told her he wasn't falling for that and to go back to her apt. I told him to never let her in again! She's the type who would call Title IX.
I did not raise fools.

Every woman knows multiple women who say they were raped.
Yet almost no man knows rapist, or a man convicted of rape.
The closest I know is my HS chemistry teacher getting caught making some exothermic reactions in a hotel room with a 17 year old female student.
So he got 3 years for statutory rape.

Even though Jane chose to take it, giving someone that veterinary sedative (very useful for animal surgery because it does not affect lung and heart function but the horse or dog wont try to bite your hand off IIRC) and then having group sex with them really was a bad thing to do.
I said a few days ago I was on board with the two Cornell expulsions at the time of the college investigation if it was for getting the ketamine and bringing it to that party. Even for that dude or dudes I don't think there should be any legal consequences now at this late date, but the process is the punishment, all 7 will have to spend $$$ on lawyers and lose months out of their lives, and all so that Tish James and friends can say they are the party of protecting women.

The hazing involved in "Operation Drugs Unlimited" was an unprecedented, highly organized forced labor system where fraternity pledges were required to act as an assembly line to process, cut, and package bulk cocaine. Rather than standard college hazing rituals involving drinking challenges, senior fraternity members used the pledge system and Greek life's strict code of silence as an indoctrination mechanism to fuel a massive, campus-wide drug ring.
Pennsylvania authorities charged 14 people in connection with a major campus-wide cocaine trafficking ring dubbed "Operation Drugs Unlimited," which operated out of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
The individuals held or charged include the alleged student ringleaders, several fraternity members, and one student's father who attempted to hide evidence.
Got quiet so quickly.

She did have dinner with us once and seemed very odd with either an eating disorder or we gave her one that night. A mousey type girl and not his type.
He dated a LOT of girls in HS and college, but she wasn't one.
She wanted to date him and he'd probably have had to marry her after the first date. She told him a story of how her father, a commercial airline pilot, expected her to only date Greek boys. Ok!
I expressed how I felt with her that summer and he is a nice guy. Who didn't listen to my warnings but did believe me when I said she's not fainting. I said this while laughing, which sort of ticked him off at the time.
He called me after she stalked him to his apartment months later. I am close to both sons and while they feared me they knew I loved them.
I should have called Title IX on her attempts to entrap him, but didn't think of it at the time and just told him to steer very clear of her.
He's now married to a normal young woman after a traumatic 5yrs with a redhead I later wanted to murder.
It's all good.

Citing Microsoft's Practice of Laying Off American Workers and Replacing Them With H-1B "Indentured Servants," Trump Suspends Microsoft's Ability to Use the Green Card Program
Should have been done long ago. Hit Disney next. The terrorist-aligned AP is sad.Thank you for that completely irrelevant Democrat party attack line in the middle of the article, AP.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump's administration is suspending tech giant Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers who come to the U.S. to live and work using H-1B visas as it accuses the company of fraud. Supporters of the Republican president have long argued that various programs like the one Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of abusing essentially empower American companies to recruit foreign workers for jobs that end up undercutting Americans. In a wide-ranging announcement Thursday, Vance and other top administration officials also called out universities over their use of J-1 visas for international students and information technology outsourcing firms. The announcement came hours before Trump was scheduled to award the National Medal of Technology and Innovation to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, part of an event at which he is granting some of the nation's most prestigious science and technology awards to his tech billionaire allies.
Um, the "system" he's referring to includes fraudulently "advertising" for positions where the advertisement is intended to never be seen. So your attempt to "correct the record" with another Democrat party attack line fails. Now for some more Democrat-Corporate Party messaging:
Vance said the program from which Microsoft is being suspended requires companies to advertise jobs in America before applying to the Department of Labor to show they need to give a foreign worker a green card because of a lack of American workers. "They'll put an advertisement in a small-town newspaper. They'll go out there and say that 'We have advertised for a position with our company, and nobody is responding to it.' And they will use that lack of response to then go and replace American workers with what is effectively foreign indentured servants," Vance said. "There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has used this system more than Microsoft."
Microsoft is No. 5 among U.S. employers when it comes to using H-1B visas, according data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Amazon is No. 1.
... Doug Rand, a former senior adviser at USCIS during the Biden administration, called Vance's announcement "incoherent." "If the Trump administration were truly concerned that H-1B workers are 'indentured servants,' then the last thing they would do is block companies from helping their own H-1B workers get green cards," he said. "Once you have a green card, you're no longer dependent on your employer for your immigration status -- you're a permanent resident who can change jobs and negotiate higher wages without fear."These are just the figures for a single year:
Vance said Microsoft last year laid off 6,000 American workers but also obtained 6,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards. "If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants," Vance said in a White House news conference announcing the decision. "Our message to Microsoft is: You're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers." ... The H-1B program has long been a target of Trump supporters who say that the program undercuts American workers and is rife with abuse. H-1B visas are meant for high-skilled jobs that are difficult to find American workers to fill. Technology companies are the biggest users, with nearly three-quarters of approvals going to workers from India.Trump also moved to punish so-called universities for abusing the system. Foreigners come over to study at universities and work at jobs during and after their study. Trump wants colleges to pay $70,000 per student to cover the costs to the government of this pain in the ass.
And also, cut down on abuse -- I imagine that many foreigners are coming just to take a couple of credits per semester, using the program as a backdoor to scam what is effectively another H-1B visa.

Weird thing about Disney (especially in their Animated department) is that their most egregious acts weren't related to H1B1's. It was more a DEI path.
There's a great documentary out there that has probably been banned off the usual platforms where they show the difference between the "masters of animated features" and the people the brought in to replace them.
Disney terminated their most talented and decorated animators and brought into young, liberal (just out of school) kids to do their animation features...and you can see the difference in quality, message, and entertainment. Disney used to be the gold standard on this genre. Now, it's amateurish crap.

There is a shortage of these workers because the pipeline takes 10 years to fill, maybe more. Suppress wages today with H1bs, and you guarantee that there will be a shortage in 10 years.
This is basic economics. They all understand this. End H1bs.

They briefly had the undisputed leadership position circa 2012, too. Pixar was still making good movies and John Lasseter was in charge of Disney animation, which got them Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen. That made a lot of ugly women at Disney very angry so they got rid of him and made all of the movies be about fat lesbians. They had Peak Woke 5 years before the rest of the world, which is not an innovation to brag about.

When an employer buys himself an indentured servant through the H1B slave trade, the H1B has an immediate upgrade from whatever shithole they came from to an advanced formerly high-trust society.
Then Microsoft expects that we spend a quarter million dollars for each of their Anchor Babies' K-12 education. That we grant them to bring over their village and put their parents on to our welfare system, that we subsidize the use of our parks, roads, courts; that we pay for their security, their medical bills, all in exchange that our culture is degraded, replaced and marginalized.
And what Microsoft gets is a crappier product that drives people to use Linux.

The education visa is the golden ticket because that visa makes the employee exempt from the employer's contribution to FICA. Built right in is a 15% advantage over an American citizen.
H1Bs, OTOH, do pay into FICA and unless there is a special agreement, that money is never realized unless they end up as US citizens by getting that foothold and a household full of anchor babies and their parents.

DH's company hired some SA draftsmen because they couldn't find anyone here to do the work. So many people left AK during covid and didn't come back, so it is tricky finding workers. At any rate, they charged something like 1/5 what locals would be paid, but he had to check every line for accuracy because they weren't really all that good.

This what someone I know was told. Their job as a Systems Analyst was being outsourced to India. They were not told they got two -three tech workers over for the price of one, but that was the word sub rosa throughout the company. This person was not the only one affected by this. And they ( Indian workers ) probably not as good as the people they replaced .

There was NEVER a shortage of engineers. The entire premise behind the H1B is, was, and always will be, a LIE. It was only ever about importing cheap labor, and on the Indian side it was about waging economic warfare against us by sending American money back to India in the form of remittances. Something like 12% of India's GDP is foreign remittances. These Indians are loyal to Modi, loyal to India, and engage in racist, nepotistic hiring practices to hire more and more indians and send more and more remittances back to India.
And here's the other fact: 95% of Indian "Engineers" can't even code. Not even with the help of AI - and this is why every major corporate software has gotten markedly WORSE over the last 20 years (while open source software has gotten markedly BETTER in that time) - because these Indian "engineers" can't code.
In short: FUCK INDIA. End the H1B and Deport them all. Don't even make them train their American replacements because they can't do the job anyways.
And kudos to the Trump Admin for hitting Microsoft and Adobe. Now hit Amazon and Google next.

There's reporting that says Microsoft filed 3,682 PERM applications after laying off the 6,000 and almost 1,000 of those applications were for positions to backfill the laid off workers.

This what someone I know was told. Their job as a Systems Analyst was being outsourced to India. They were not told they got two -three tech workers over for the price of one, but that was the word sub rosa throughout the company. This person was not the only one affected by this. And they ( Indian workers ) probably not as good as the people they replaced .

Disney did it in 2015. Mass firing of US employees that were required to train their foreign replacements for any severance pay.
From Brave AI.
In 2015, Disney laid off approximately 250 IT workers at Walt Disney World and replaced them with foreign employees hired on H-1B visas through outsourcing firms like HCL America and Cognizant Technology Solutions.

It bothers me when people say outsourced when they mean offshored. Outsourcing just means outside the company. If you hire a team from the company across the street, that's outsourcing. Offshoring is hiring a company from outside the country.

I have seen IT support outsourced, so you call over to india to find out why your document won't open, but that's just customer service. Not programming. And that is very forgiving as if it takes the customer twice as long to get the right answer, no one notices.

That, pretty much, effects every type of VISA handed out by consular offices. H1-B1's , Student VISA's, Temp. Work VISA's. etc. They falsify and create diplomas, work experience, credentials, law degrees, medical degrees, tech degrees....etc.
Domestically, when India's top law office requested a vetting of all practicing lawyers in India to address this problem, over 40% of lawyers (practicing law in India) refused to be vetted. That should tell you the size of the issue.

I would not be surprised it was done at the behest of Musk because of the direct competition of CoPilot and Grok.
Did Microsoft forget to give Tom Homan his bag of $50,000?
Gotta remember those bribes are annual bribes. You'd think Microsoft would know how the subscription payment model works.
If there are no fraud lawsuits or criminal cases, I think it should be illegal to claim fraud but show zero evidence, CMV. Pretty sure that Microsoft has better lawyers than the feds these days.
I would blame incompetence for them taking 2 years to figure this out, but it’s probably just corruption. Also the timing just before the election makes it even more suspect. Doesn’t change it from being a good thing, but now do the rest of the tech industry.
100%. Oracle, Amazon, Facebook, Google, all of Musk's companies, etc. Selective enforcement is bad, even if if the enforcement of targeted companies is not.

They decided to send one of our advanced machines there and let the Indian team handle setting it up.
They kept giving updates that were good...a little too good.
So the Project Manager asked them, then demanded they, send a picture of the machine in the room setup for them...he got a picture of an empty room.
Now this wasn't them screwing up or stealing...the machine was actually stuck in customs outside of their control. They figured though they would get in trouble if they told the truth so they lied hoping they could keep the PM stalled until they actually got the machine.

They've offered 18 months deferred adjudication, $750 in fines, court costs, 60 hours community service, some class requirements and that stupid ignition blocker in her car (at $300 a MONTH) for 9 months.

Its a lot more complicated than that. For example, during the cheap money low interest days, Big Tech was a casino where for very little money you can do all kinds of stupid things and hire staff at large money. There were many companies that should have never been started because the business model was very pie in the sky. That created an artificial demand for tech talent. Artificial in the sense that after mountains of code were written, the company would fail due to no clients or no real income stream and the investors getting tired of pumping in round after round of money.
So with expensive money, that demand for warm bodies has diminished. The "need" for H1Bs has dropped, but also the demand for workers too.

Best part is they can't leave it unresponded to. Because they don't want him getting his own naked message out. But in doing so they are forced to amplify his message.
And because he called them fake news from the start, and they made it clear they were opposing him from the start, their message is diluted severely.
They lost that air of objectivity that they cultivated for 50 years even through Obama .

There is another side to all this. The reason US costs are high is because of the massive regulatory and tax burden. Someone mentioned FICA above, but there is so much more. I have known tech managers who love H1bs because they can't complain. (the managers say that publicly.) No discrimination, no sexual harassment, no 30 hours of legal fees and 3 months of paper trail to give them a bad review. And they are young, so it lowers insurance costs, etc.
I keep typing and deleting here. We have a work culture problem in US, and I think a lot of that comes from HR and Legal making it hard to fire people for being shit workers. H1bs solve that, but what I am saying is we have two problems.
- Shortage due to low wages, due to h1bs
- bad work culture
- high regulatory and tax burden making wages seem too high to compete.

I'd almost settle for that, but see if he can lower any part of it. If the DA is firm, take it...but there's probably room for either the fine and/or the ignition blocker to be lowered due to her being personally poor.
Successful delayed adjudication would end up with zero record aka dismissed charges/a lack of conviction - that would be an awesome outcome for her for the long term...

Our helpdesk team is in India. They're the team you ping if you need more AI tokens or if you need new access rights. All of their tasks are drop-dead, brain-dead simple.
Every time I need something like that, I ping people in the US who have rights to do things like that, but aren't on those teams. I only put in a helpdesk ticket as a last resort.
Every time I've dealt with helpdesk, it's the same experience. It takes at least two days for them to acknowledge your request. Then they stall at least three days by asking three word questions they could have answered for them if they read the title or description of the request. They "work" when we're asleep, so it's at least a 24 hour turnaround time when they ask stupid things like, "is this for you?" when you're asking for access to a machine.
Something that should take at most two minutes to click a box or run a script takes at least a work week. It's infuriating.

What happens when you demonize a majority culture--they get a vote to fight back. And often that is through reemphasizing historical culture and religion. I agree more with Toynbee that history is cyclical than the insipid Marx about historical determinism and the idiotic right side of history that accompanies it.

All true, but you don't want to take this to court b/c she does not want a permanent record.
DAs negotiate less when they know they have someone easily convictable on a charge, so you have to keep that in mind, too.
A good defense lawyer should still get some "compromise" from the DA to get the deal done, but it will be less if the DA knows he/she has a slam dunk case.

Say what you will about Indian programmers, but they did a heck of a fine job on the programming for the flight management computers that Boeing put into the 737MAX. You know, that computer that the plane needed to handle predictably and offset the effect of having engines that were too big for the airframe.

Third World immigration is spreading the bad work habits. Pride in one's work is no longer a thing as far as I can see.
I was reminded of this last weekend touring museums in Vicksburg, MS. The old court house building is loaded with all kinds of artifacts from around the Democrat's War. The clothes were very finely detailed. The furniture — all of it— is all intricate and detailed. Everything looked like someone spent serious time carving and shaping each piece, including picture frames. The children's tea cups were also very fine, detailed and demonstrated a lot of care in their making.
Now we get IKEA inspired designs or something that looks like it was shaped with a hatchet.

Their entire model is to just delay, obfuscate, pass the buck, blame someone else, and generally waste the time of anyone being critical of their performance until the other party throws up their hands and walks away. It's absolutely maddening.
I worked with a software tester who was pretty knowledgeable, but was absolutely devoted to process in everything. If she had her way, 90% of the workday would have been mindlessly filling out documents describing what your were about to do or had done. She usually caught all of the big bugs and was a good resource to ask about nitty gritty details about a functional area. But hoo-boy, every time she missed a big bug, her way to show she really cared was to call for days and days worth of meetings to discuss all of the new processes she wanted to enact to ensure that never happened again. That was her way of "taking responsibility."
Then it was on the rest of us to tell her, "NO!" we're not adding three new daily meetings and seven new mandatory process templates.

Embarrassing blow for Barack Obama as workers at his ‘Death Star’ presidential center are already so fed up they’re leaving in droves… as stern letter is released.
Barack Obama is facing a fresh humiliation at his ‘eyesore’ presidential center with workers slamming the project’s bosses and moving to unionize just months after it opened.
In a letter to colleagues this week, staff at the Chicago library said they were organizing a union due to the institute’s ‘increasing workloads’ and benefit rollbacks.
Workers have grown frustrated with leadership at Obama’s foundation after their concerns were met with ‘vague responses,’ according to the letter, first shared by the Chicago Sun-Times.

This was over X box. Microsoft fired a bunch of citizens and then tried to backfill those fired jobs with H1Bs after they put an Indian dot as head of that division.
They and other big firms have been routinely cutting corners on H1B regulations regarding required job searches, etc. because up until now, they got away with it.

Rubio Delivers Speech at the Acropolis, Rallying the West to Embrace Western Values and Western Roots
It seems strange that anyone would even have to advocate for this.
Ben Whedon for Just the News:Rubio's Acropolis speech pitches Trumpism as a return to Western roots Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Athens cast the Trump administration and its broader movement as a conscious revival of the foundational principles of Western Civilization and urged Europe to follow its lead. ... Rubio's decision to deliver the speech against the backdrop of the Acropolis was deliberate. The ancient site is perhaps the most widely known monument associated with classical Greece, which scholars have traditionally viewed as the progenitor of what is now called "the West." "For thousands of years, the civilizations that built what stands behind me have captivated the imagination of the Western world," Rubio opened. "The things we owe to this place as Americans -- and as Westerners -- are actually far, far deeper. What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man." But Rubio went beyond romantic invocations of the ancient past and insisted that the modern Trump administration was working to advance a classically-influenced theory of politics. He further spelled out a tangible theory of statecraft on the world stage and encouraged European nations to adopt it themselves. "For all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive," Rubio argued. "They understood that nations have interests. They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy. But they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force with prudence when diplomacy fails." "They understood that power requires not only having the means to defend yourself, it requires the credibility that you are willing to use it. This is the classical understanding of politics and of statecraft that the Trump administration hopes to reclaim, reclaim not just for our country, but for the whole of our civilization. We believe that Europe can awaken from its long slumber and rekindle the fire that was lit here millennia ago." Rubio then went further to explain how to weave those ideas into the political landscape of a modern, increasingly international world, saying "[n]ational interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions" and that nations still faced threats that required them to respond. He stated that the path forward was to rebuild international institutions while "understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them, but is to defend them, and that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests." That position seems to come as a rebuke of globalism, cultural uniformity, and mass immigration on a large scale as many Western nations shift toward the political right in response to the influx of non-Western immigrants.The full speech is here. The speech begins with a narrative about the rise of democracy and western values. I'll skip past that to get to the part where he begins to make his argument. This passage is about the need for actual competition in a society, and standards of excellence, lest that society devolve into shapeless, useless communism.
That's a refutation of fake, communist "equity," in which everyone is a winner and everyone gets a participation award, and of course no one accomplishes or produces anything because there's no benefit to doing so. He also attacks transnationalist "Davosism," the socialist dream of all national borders melting away into one gigantic ultrastate.
For the Greeks of antiquity, the pursuit of excellence was the very principle of man's existence. They organized all of civic life around contest, ambition, competition: in philosophy and poetry, in sculpture and drama, in athletics and art, in war and statecraft. The classical Greek city was an arena for great men to test and prove themselves, to hone their potential through perpetual struggle -- to be the best, the strongest, the most beautiful, straining to inch ever closer to perfection. Now I know that to modern ears, what I just described, this way of life, may sound odd; it may even sound cruel. The ideal of many ideologies in our time has, frankly, become a world of perfect safety, devoid of risk or failure, with neither the glory of victory nor the shame of defeat. Too often these days, we build downwards. We design our standards to ensure no one will lose; we preoccupy ourselves more with the comfort of the worst than the potential of the best. We hold the most exceptional things among us hostage to the average, the ordinary, the mediocre. The men who made the Parthenon, they built upwards. They held that the highest and most noble aspiration in life was to surpass all others, to strive to be the best in all things. The ancient Greek city-states were filled. They were filled with intense passion and rivalry and faction and conflict. But from that constant struggle for distinction -- from that came the great flowering of art and philosophy and political and intellectual energy that would transform a collective of Mediterranean cities into the birthplace of the greatest civilization in the world. The thumos, as the ancient Greeks called it -- the fire of passion, strength, courage, pride -- is the heart of great civilization. And without it? Without it, nations lose their will to fight, the will to strive, the will to survive. Today, too much of the West has forgotten this quality. Over time, we in the West came to feel ashamed of the very things that made us exceptional. We felt embarrassed that our achievements set us apart from the rest of the world. Our prosperity somehow became a source of guilt. We no longer believed we deserved and had earned our greatness. The word "nationalism" became a dirty word. And so we tore down our monuments; we condemned our own history. And in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process, we opened our borders and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay. And with every passing year, we seemed to outsource more of our sovereignty, transferring our decisions to global bureaucracies far beyond the reach of our control. But others were all too happy to fill the vacuum that we left -- the vacuum left behind by our weakness. And as the West's confidence faltered, its adversaries and its rivals only grew more assertive, building up their own wealth and their own power in our stead. And now, today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Because the next decade and the decisions we make will write the story of the next century. The course we take will determine whether the West maintains its place at the head of the world or resigns itself to a future of atrophy and servitude and decline. We will either choose to act now or lose the choice to act at all. Under President Trump, the United States has made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power: to take back control of our critical supply chains, to reindustrialize our economy, to rebuild our defense, to fight for dominance of the technologies and industries of the future. We choose to reach for new frontiers: in advanced manufacturing and super intelligence; in drones, weapons, and warfare; in chips, minerals, cyber, and every other domain of human possibility. To unleash our energy, to rebuild our factories, to return our astronauts to the moon and launch a new age of exploration in space.
Now it's has become fashionable today to believe that enlightened foreign policy means prioritizing the global community over one's own people. And I think here, too, we have much to learn from the men of ancient Greece because they knew that there was nothing selfish or wrong about loyalty to your nation, nor anything selfish or wrong about fighting to defend its interests above all else. They believed -- fiercely -- in the ideal of the great man: the exceptional individual who obtains immortality through his own deeds. But they believed that glory and fame, those things were won through striving, sacrificing and achieving greatly for something larger than yourself. The recurring hero of the ancient Greek world was the man who was willing to pay any cost for a cause worthy of his loyalty. ... These -- these are the qualities that would shape the Western moral imagination. From the Christian martyr who refused to betray his faith to the patriot who gave his life for his country; from Saint Thomas More to the Battle of the Alamo, running through the immortal closing words of the Declaration of Independence of the United States which says, "We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." ... This is wholly different from what we see, even now, for example from fanatics like the radical mullahs of Iran, whose cult of death hails child suicide bombers as national heroes, and portrays martyrdom as an end to itself. Our heroes -- our heroes may be willing to die for their cause; but our heroes do not worship death. It is precisely because we value life that we come to recognize the heroism in those who would sooner sacrifice it than to betray their principles. Now, we take the West's conception of these things -- heroism, honor, duty -- we take these things for granted. We assume that these somehow are universal to all people in all times and in all places. They are not. They are the product of a distinct character, a distinct character which arose here and shaped the whole story of the civilization that came after it. A civilization that we must fight to defend today with the same passion as our forefathers did. ... The greatest Americans of every generation have carried the unmistakable features of their forefathers -- born in Athens, formed by Rome, baptized in Christendom, hardened in the furnace of medieval Europe, endowed with the English genius for liberty, and then carried across the Atlantic to be reborn on the shores of a new world. Together, we must now rediscover that spirit. We are at an inflection point -- an inflection point not only in the history of my nation, but an inflection point in the whole of our civilization. The threats we face today are every bit as real as they were on the dramatic stage of antiquity. National interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions. War did not disappear simply because we preferred peace. Other states continued to arm, to seek influence, to compete for territory, and technology, and resources, and markets, and energy, and power. And now, there is war again. There is new competition between great powers again. There is vulnerability, aggression, terrorism, a whole universe of new threats and attacks again. And so we must rebuild our institutions and our alliances to face these threats together -- understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them; it is to defend them. And that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests.An excerpt:
SECRETARY RUBIO: We should marvel at what our forefathers carved out of this countryside. The story of our civilization is the greatest story ever known to man. And it began here, with the first men and women of the West. From them, from them we can rediscover the virtues, the courage, and the strength to confront the dangers that we face in our time.

Everywhere you look, you see the contrast between the threat against us and our potential for greatness.
Example, so small but significant: I'm watching an I Love Lucy episode. There's a one-act-play-writing competition among the middle class ladies' culture clubs of New York City. They'll be performed and judged in a single event. A Broadway producer is there to see if there's any usable talent.
STOP RIGHT THERE. At the same time, I'm reflecting on how Chinese workers during that time were forced to grind away their "spare hours" listening to lectures about the greatness of Mao Tse-tung Thought. I'm learning about Somali gangs shooting up Minnesota suburbs.
wtf? America has so much productivity and creativity in it it's NUTS. It's our culture, our national identity. And look at who wants in to tear it all down.

My read is that plucking someone with actual intelligence and potential out of the do-nothing circle-jerk that is the US Senate and letting him cook has something to do with it.

Vance is tying himself to ending the OPT and H1B as frontman today. This is one of the biggest hits on globo homo corporatists in a long while and going after Microsoft and Adobe takes guts.
Young white males in college or recent graduates have not benefited as much from the Trump economy yet because corporations have tried to layoff as many citizens and hire foreigners in order to bolster corporate profits. Those not in college are seeing a much better job market right now.
This action restricting the endless corporate greed for cheap labor is going after what this group of voters see as corporations destroying their hopes and dreams by hiring cheap visa applicants that are often not even qualified over Americans.

I hope so, but JFTR, he is not ordained . He may have graduated from seminary, but he himself said he did not complete his ordination requirements because he was concentrating on politics. In order to be ordained in many denominations you have to submit lengthy papers and go before an examining board which last a day or several days.

Kinda brilliant, actually. He's already grifted millions from his campaign, and will keep whatever he doesn't spend from now until the election. If he were to keep campaigning, he'd have to spend a bunch of that money, and if he fundraises, his donors will inevitably be pissed when he gets his ass kicked. By laying low, he can claim that "the polls and all the Democrat advisers told me that I had it in the bag!", and avoid being blamed.
Then he can take all of the remaining cash and live out his days doing butt stuff on Fire Island.

It's because their brand of government and social structure breeds stagnancy. You are not rewarded for innovation. The state is rewarded in your place. You get to succeed if they SAY you get to succeed. And, ultimately, that allows you to obtain credit for someone else's accomplishment(s).
So, as expected the ingenuity and innovation of discovery is stifled in China. So, they take from others not held back (as much) by that structure.
No one really ever says this out loud. I think Rubio just might one of these days.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just exposed socialists like Bernie Sanders 10 YEARS AGO opposing open borders because it's cheap labor, now they CRY FOUL when Trump cracks down on displacement of Americans
"[For them], it's not about the working class. It's about their HATRED of native-born citizens!" 🎯
"Back in 2016...when Bernie Sanders...was asked about open borders. He gave an answer that sounded similar to Stephen Miller said — of course we're not going to have open borders, because that's going to displace American workers!"
"It is ironic that so many of the self-described socialists running across this country, they love the idea of replacing American workers with foreign workers." 💯
Bernie literally called open borders "a Koch brothers proposal" that would make Americans poorer
Now his own party fights Trump on every single move to protect American jobs! MAJOR HYPOCRISY
Trump is the one standing up for the working class now. Imagine that.

A lot of the secret language has been invented to circumvent social media censoring and blocking words particularly young males.
Sort of like how the Cockney invented rhyming slang.

In fairness, Augustine didn't bat 1.000 among Catholics either. We don't accept gratia irresistibilis for one thing.
Anyway, since John Chrysostom was a flat-earther and a mentor of Nestorius, Orthodox can hardly say that all their saints were perfect either.

Agreed! And FWIW, I have no problem with saying "St Augustine." Weigh the volume of all the good he did and the soundness of almost all his doctrine against the few errors and there is no comparison. I've heard that some of his errors can be traced back to his lack of Greek and therefore not being exposed to numerous issues that had already been decided in the East. And he was frequently reacting to bad heresy, and sometimes his arguments went too far and tipped into statements that could be later taken out of context.

Slum-dweller, fishmonger, greengrocer.
And then plenty more: “Queen of Coattonia (Trash-town,”
,” “cow,” “wide-mouthed frog,” “bitch.”
And so on. Over the years, I’ve been called all sorts of names.
Personal insults—targeting my appearance, my family, my background.
But today, the tone changes. And the level is raised.
This is because a Democratic Party figure—one Floriano Della Bella—stated during a Pontedera City Council meeting that Meloni is a “*Ciociara*—in the most derogatory sense of the word.”...
...
I am sorry for them, but I do not share that view. I am proud to be called *Ciociara*. For Ciociaria is one of the most beautiful, ancient, and extraordinary regions of our Italy—a land of popes and military leaders, saints and artists, writers and poets. It is the home of Cicero, Gaius Marius, Boniface VIII, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Marcello Mastroianni, Vittorio De Sica, Nino Manfredi, and so many other men and women who have shaped our history over the ages. …
...etc
Long live Ciociaria!

Schultz had to deal with teh fallout of Nixon taking the US off the Gold Standard because it was no longer tenable (due to LBJ and overspending by Dems in the 60's). He was Nixon's OMB chief, then moved to Labor (I think he was just in time for Nixon's wage price freeze ), then Treasury. Basically a cleanup pitcher after Nixon and his coterie of advisors made messes. Nixon was a lousy domestic president and far too worried about the great game to pay much attention to domestic politics other than winning reelection.

Good luck trying to find the pricing for anything LinkedIn. You literally have to sign up for a "free trial" first, then they still hide the pricing, which is only an estimate, IF you can find it.

Forcibly is kinda a strong word for the Roman incorporation of Greece. Greece starting calling them in to settle disputes between one lame coalition of states and another coalition of states. Or to fight off Macedon. So they got the standard treaty which was Rome protects you, and you have to do what they say, a patron-client relation. Then later, when the patron wanted something they didn't do it, and Rome came down on them like a hammer for a violation of the rules.
Eventually they were reduced to provincial status and vegetated.

Don't Call Them Somali Gangs. Call Them Well-Armed Doctors and Engineers.
The Somali community, and the left generally, continues to rage that Somali gang members are called Somali gang members. They want them called "American" gang members. And they insist that the problem isn't Somalis, it's just guns.
FoxNews:Video of that shootout below. When you have a Somali tribal beef that involves shooting one hundred bullets next to suburban bedrooms where children are sleeping, people's indulgence of endless migrant crime begins to run out.
Violence tied to Somali-American gangs in the Twin Cities metro erupted in recent days, with law enforcement recovering nearly 100 casings after a gunfight captured on a resident's surveillance camera -- as officials warn they need help to contain the problem before it escalates.
But the lesbian tank operating as Hennepin County's DA says that we shouldn't resort to simplistic answers like putting criminals in jail.
The warning follows a burst of violence across several Twin Cities suburbs -- including a Bloomington shootout that left nearly 100 shell casings and another shooting in Eden Prairie -- as law enforcement says the incidents have entered a retaliation cycle and officials race to disrupt the groups before the violence evolves into more entrenched drug- and money-driven crime. "We have the opportunity to fix it," Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said of a surge in Somali gang violence across the Twin Cities -- but warned authorities could be facing a much more difficult problem if the groups escalate the resources they use. "It's early. Once they evolve into drugs, we're in trouble. Once they evolve into money, more money, we are in trouble," said Fletcher, whose county is anchored by St. Paul and runs along the west bank of the Mississippi River. Fletcher estimated that about 300 juveniles are involved and said part of the problem lies in the Somali gangs' relative novelty to local law enforcement and what he characterized as a reluctance to aggressively prosecute offenders across the river in Minneapolis. "We need more people focused on this problem. Because 50 kids in this 300 need to go to jail, 25 need to be prosecuted by the feds for RICO and and another 25 need to be prosecuted at the local level. Take 50 of the most active out of the mix, and we will see dramatic changes," he said.
Uh-huh. Citizens know this is bullshit. One railed against the endless flow of obfuscatory left-wing bullshit to hide the real problem.
He ascribed some of the reticence to neighboring Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, saying she has not been sufficiently "aggressive" in prosecuting such offenders. "One of the misconceptions is that somehow when you prosecute people, put them in jail that you're destituting them to some terrible life. This is how kids get corrected," he said. Moriarty's office pushed back on the assertion, with spokesman Daniel Borgertpoepping saying the neighboring communities are "looking for solutions" and that Moriarty's prosecutors "communicate daily with law enforcement [and] will participate in any group that moves us toward sustainable public safety." "The way we approach prosecution of violent crime is consistent regardless of the race or ethnicity of those involved," Borgertpoepping said.
Yesterday I mentioned a police chief stating that these gangland shootouts aren't even about money or drugs (yet). They're just well-off teenagers who are devolving to the Somali preference for internecine warfare.
"We don't need more virtue signaling, yard signs, DEI initiatives, or community conversations that lead to nowhere. We need competent government, accountability, and safe neighborhoods," he said, also blaming Moriarty's office for "refu[sing]" to properly address the issue. He also suggested officials have sometimes generalized the ethnicity of those involved, remarking that it "feels more comfortable for some people to say East African. I don't even know that that's a fair term, because 98% of these gang members are Somalians."
In nearby Bloomington, where about 100 casings were recovered from the scene of a late-night firefight that appeared to involve automatic weapons, Police Chief Booker Hodges took a confrontational tack toward the suspects who remained at large -- while warning they do not fit the typical stereotype of gang members. "They're coming from two parent homes, living in apartment buildings with $3,500 a month rent, driving Beamers and Mercedes. They're not dealing with money. There's no drugs in the house. They're purchasing legal firearms," he said.Michele Tafoya, running to be a senator from Minnesota, is campaigning on the issue.
Below, the shootout caught on surveillance cameras. Imagine living with this.
The Republican Senate nominee in Minnesota is sounding the alarm about crime levels in the state amid a wave of Somali gang violence and a foiled terror plot by an American born to Somali parents. "I hear a lot of concerns from Minnesotans on the campaign trail about crime, and no matter what form that crime takes, Minnesotans know that they feel under a level of threat that has increased lately here in Minnesota, and in the last week and just today," Michele Tafoya, running as a Republican against Minnesota's Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "We saw the arrest of an 18-year-old Somali American citizen to Somali parents arrested for a terrorist -- planning a terrorist attack -- at the Mall of America during a Hmong celebration." ... The FBI alleges Mohamud had digital communications beginning in December 2024 with a confidential human source he believed was a member of al-Shabaab, a Somali Islamist terror group and offshoot of ISIS. "I can't wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah," one of the messages said. "Kuffar" is a term used to refer to non-Muslims, and "insha Allah" means "God willing." The Hmong people are indigenous to Southeast Asia and boast a relatively large population in the United States. "We have a large Hmong community here in Minnesota as well, and he basically stated that he wanted to take out anyone who was not a Muslim. He also noted that the Mall of America is owned by people who are Jewish," Tafoya said. "And so this was his plan, and thank goodness for the FBI in Minneapolis here and local law enforcement for catching onto this plan and derailing it well in advance. This is a guy who has pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Again, he is of Somalian descent and terror is alive and well and thank God we averted this massive crisis." ... "And we have had Somali-related -- Somali gang-related -- attacks here locally in our suburbs at a high school football game during homecoming, at a Catholic Church parking lot, at a gas station, and this is all just really started to peak here in the last couple of weeks. So it's undeniable. Our law enforcement here are calling it out as the product of Somali gang violence, and we've got to identify it, and we have to find a way to deal with it." ... "I don't know how you can legislate that assimilation, but we simply cannot tolerate the level of crime," she said. "We've seen it with fraud here. It's in the paperwork that the Feeding Our Future fraud was largely ... in terms of percentage, probably 98%, Somali people involved in that fraud," she said. "What I do think is any guests of this country who commits crime should be sent home with no pathway back," she said. "If you're coming here to be a guest of this country or to live in this country you cannot break our laws, and if you're an American, you cannot break our laws, period."
"Minnesota teacher" says Somalis work too hard in America and that's why the "youth" commit gang shootings
No, this is not AI or a far-right skit https://t.co/ghU2aiQMai— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) October 8, 2026
About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent.
Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare. Although Somalis have recently been implicated in welfare fraud, any population with poverty rates as high as theirs will qualify for extensive means-tested aid. The best way to reduce immigrant consumption of welfare is not simply to crack down on fraud, but to reduce the number of new arrivals who have low earning power.

Our modern immigration problems started in the 1960s.
They were never going to be fixed in one presidential term, much less the first half of one presidential term.
The Overton Window has materially shifted against immigration, though, which opens up the window to continue the deportation operation after Trump leaves.
Republicans have to win elections, essentially.

In that late 19th, early 20th century time, immigrants also didn't assimilate. They created ethnic enclaves, mostly in cities, and became voting blocs. Italians, Polish, Chinese, they refused to learn English, were heavily insular, and caused massive problems in labor and public safety, creating a slowly building backlash that led to that 1924 act.
It took literally decades, but the Overton Window did eventually shift to the point where Congress would pass it and Coolidge would sign it.
We won't get our version of the 1924 act under Trump, but we could get it in the next decade if things keep moving our direction.

Deportations of illegals is easier, requires just an administrative hearing with an immigration judge (who are all executive employees, not judicial employees) and happen fairly quickly. The due process is short and sweet, and most sign waivers to just leave once caught.
It's the naturalized ones who have longer issues. The ones who did go through the process of naturalization, as compromised as it's been over the last few decades.

That wouldn't have happened just 4 years ago.
Party leadership and the heir apparent is fully on the anti-immigration train (not just anti-illegal, just anti-legal), and it's now a death sentence to be pro-immigration in Republican national politics except in the smallest of exceptions.
All those GOP House members who sign onto amnesty legislation every Congress that never even gets brought up for a vote? They all voted for the OBBB which tripled ICE's funding and created the deportation machine of today, fully appropriated through 2028.

DOJ Seeking Criminal Indictment Of Cassidy Hutchinson Over Jan. 6 Testimony
The Department of Justice is reportedly seeking criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House aide whose explosive Jan. 6 testimony came under scrutiny after Secret Service witnesses disputed one of her most dramatic accounts.
Federal prosecutors are seeking an indictment against Hutchinson for allegedly lying to Congress about President Donald Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to Punchbowl News’ Laura Weiss.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division presented evidence to a federal grand jury Tuesday and plans to introduce additional witnesses and evidence later this month, Weiss reported on X, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

I know the "charities" have Lutheran and Catholic in their names, but names can be misleading. I don't believe much Lutheran Church Missouri Synod money is flowing that direction, and I don't know that the Holy Roman Catholic Church is funding much of that either (not that the Pope isn't spectacularly wrong on the issue).

Which would include Egyptians, Sudanese (both flavors), Eritreans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Burundians, Tanzanians, Mozambiquans(?), and maybe some South Africans. The majority of whom are very different from Somalians, culturally. (Most of those have actual governments, rather than a collection of warlords masquerading as "a" government. Other countries might be similar to Somalia in culture - tribal, corrupt, etc. - but none are quite as far gone as Somalia. IMO.)

El-Sayed, Ready to Campaign with Shit-Fingered Midas, Previously Said Obama Was a Failed President Who Left the Country Off Worse Than When He Found It
LOL. The "Deporter in Chief" fake-insult was contrived by Obama in league with open borders advocates to claim he was a super-deporter when in fact he threw the borders wide open. He didn't deport people -- he pulled another statistical sleight-of-hand and redefined persons merely turned away at the border as "deported," which they had never before been counted. This allowed him to greatly inflate the number of "deportations" he was conducting and thus claim to be a border defender instead of what he was, a border eraser.
'The list of his failures goes on': El-Sayed's Obama criticism resurfaced ahead of campaign rally Former President Barack Obama is set to hit the campaign trail for Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed later this month, years after El-Sayed criticized Obama's presidency at times as a failure, saying it left the country no "better off." In comments reviewed by CNN's KFile from Obama's 2012 reelection through the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, El-Sayed faulted him for perpetuating war, eroding civil liberties, overseeing record deportations and preserving economic and healthcare systems that he said favored corporations over ordinary people.
Obama's tepid prosecution of the War on Terror was too much for this proud and arrogant terrorist spokesman.
He also dismissed the Affordable Care Act as insufficient and argued that Obama's incremental approach helped create the conditions for Donald Trump's rise. ... El-Sayed's criticism of Obama was often searing. In a 2012 HuffPost essay written shortly after Obama won reelection, El-Sayed -- who said he had voted for him -- accused the president of failing to deliver the "hope and change" that defined his 2008 campaign. "This leader has perpetuated war, violated our civil liberties, deported more people from our shores than any other president before him, and the list of his failures goes on," he wrote.
"That memory will serve not as a reminder of the history we made that night -- but of the silly emotions of a naïve young man who didn't understand that hope and change required more than flowery prose and a winning smile," El-Sayed wrote of Obama's first election. "I have little hope because there has been less change." ... El-Sayed also took shots at the Affordable Care Act, Obama's signature accomplishment and legacy across his two terms, calling it a "watered-down reform that kowtows to the interests of healthcare lobbies."Full communism or bust. El-Sayed said that Obama's fake recovery -- propagndized with another sleight-of-hand redefinition, changing "jobs created" to "jobs saved or created" -- was in fact fake.
This is a story that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed -- by the way, he told critics to "keep my name out of your mouth," so f*** you, Vain Terrorist, I'll use your full name every time I refer to you -- does not need. Black voters are already wary of him. A little good news, maybe: Early voting has started in Michigan and ballots from Trump counties are coming in at a faster rate than they have before.
"There's frustration [among voters] with the fact that they're being told by elites that their economy is back and that they should just be happy," El-Sayed said. "But it's not. Frankly, the economic comeback has largely benefited corporations and has not really benefited people like them."
Michigan is bucking conventional wisdom. Mail returns keep tilting toward Trump country: Trump-won counties' share climbed from 45.3% yesterday to 46.0% today. They had 43.4% at the four-week mark in 2022. https://t.co/2Ule3hiYtH

Actually it is cheat by mail voting that does that. In person cheating is relatively rare because it costs more in resources and risk than cheating by mail via vote harvesting.
If WA, CA, OR, and CO had in person early voting and required individual voters to actually request absentee ballots, you would have far more competitive races in these states for the GOP.

Old pols don't drive turnout. By their thirties or so, people either are accustomed to voting or not. Old out of office pols, like Obama who was last in office in 2016, don't drive yutes to vote which is what the Dems need desperately. Thus, the idiotic Clancy crap, the Cornell 7 op, and others to gin up Single White Liberal Female votes. They and Black Women who are being ignored this cycle for some reason along with Male Blacks, are the what the Dems are trying to turnout. Obama may be a nod to Black Women in Detroit which is critical in Michigan. Black males are more ambivalent about Barry.

Great question, Fen.
The Democrats aren't saying, and the media aren't asking. I watch financial media regularly (Bloomberg), and while they are quick to emphasize the reasons why Trump's economy is in trouble - in direct contradiction to the strong economic numbers they report every single day - they never ask what the Dems will do to fix the 'problems'. You'll hear one of their analysts say that 'the markets like gridlock', but that's a meaningless statement which never gets adequately explained. All very hand wavy. It's clear that the financial press has been thoroughly infiltrated by leftists and is not to be trusted with anything more than reading off market levels.

Just nudging "Medicare for All."
Bet he has Obama's blessing!
From Obama: "We chose to write a new chapter, where in a new economy, Americans are free to change their jobs or start a business, chase a new idea, raise a family, free from fear, secure in the knowledge that portable, affordable health care is there for us and always will be."
He reiterated in other speeches that if a young person wanted to "try many different jobs and careers until you find one that suits you," portable insurance would grant them the "freedom to pursue" those dreams.
Advocacy groups like Americans for the Arts noted that the ACA fundamentally changed the economic reality for the creative community, and many more.

This region is fundamentally changing "healthcare" at a rapid pace. Suddenly, whole services such as Radiology are without employees. They're leaving for more money, unionizing if they stay, slow walking non-emergency services, etc.

He also dismissed the Affordable Care Act as insufficient and argued that Obama's incremental approach helped create the conditions for Donald Trump's rise.
This is a pattern I see from the left a lot now, namely, if you don't destroy the previous system and implement our solution 100% then everything will suck.
This should turn any rational person away from such as idea - if things get worse when your system is partially implemented it likely means the system is making things worse. And I'll contrast this with capitalism.
When the Chinese under Deng implemented modest market reforms the rates of starvation and privation went down. When they were fully socialists they were reduced to cannibalism.

Governing is harder than opposition as you will always have defectors for one reason or the other.
Dems are united in opposition but as to what they actually want, they cannot speak in public about it without lying. And that has resulted in historic levels of dislike for the Democrats.
Trump is making it clear where the GOP stands this election (to the dismay of the RINOs) by actions and words.
So a pretty clear choice for the electorate policy wise.

But my older girl's best friend loves it, so we went as a family to one last night.
It was my younger one's first time going to one. She was absolutely berserk. I had to shush her at least 75 times. Totally in love with the whole thing, hooked for life. Seriously. I took her to Disney World and Universal Studios not two weeks ago,and she wasn't as jacked up as after going to our local theater, and it's all I'm hearing about today. Going to more movies.

I do enjoy the theater, but I almost never go. I live too far away (25 minutes from the closest), and it's hard to justify leaving the fam for the movies I'm interested in. I only tend to go when the boys really want to see something (I think Minecraft was the last one).
But, Gen-Z is apparently the lifeblood of movie theaters these days. They want a place to go, that's safe, and hang out.
I remember when there weren't going to be any more theaters because covid.

Depends on where those ballots are coming from. In urban areas, the blank ballot is exchanged for gift cards or some other token of the Dem appreciation in apartment complexes, jails, etc. and also picked up from vacant lots, shopping malls, etc. as well as dead letter office at USPS.
They are filled out by Dem operatives and then submitted via drop box or mail. Sometimes the Dems are lazy and just photocopy one ballot and submit the photocopies in the names of voters.

That wasn't even a hard one. He literally said 2020 was on the up and up. I know little old white ladies that were hardcore Democrats in 2016 that knew that 2020 was rigged the night it happened.
And what did Phony Vivek do? He played the "I am learning conservatism, you people have a lot to teach me" game. Transparent as fuck and many fell for it because conservatives are an easier fucking lay than Jane Doe.

Pretty much. Dems are now arguing that their voters will turn up in person because Trump was bad mouthing mail in ballots and that caused Dem voters to fear Trump will tamper with them. That trend will either exist or not in the next week or so.
Some Dems like Elias are already pivoting to Trump stole the 2026 midterms and are gearing up for post election lawfare.

David Plouffe (IIRC) built the entire campaign strategy for Obama from state senate to President that was "permission structure."
That is, a safe, inoffensive, well-spoken, upper-class, light-skinned Negro that whites could vote for; give themselves "permission" to vote for.
That's who he appeals to. Not actual blacks. At least, not is the "inspire for generations" way.

"Democrats can cheat everywhere and win everything."
"Why didn't they do that in 2024?"
"So that they could win a meaningless midterm against Trump. They gave up the DOJ, DOW, DOS, DOEd, and all power over regulation so that they could do impeachment theater that will just make Trump stronger when it eventually peters out without a conviction."

AI Overview: After the 2018 midterms, the "hellfire" came at Trump. Democrats won a decisive majority in the House of Representatives, granting them massive subpoena power. They used this leverage to aggressively investigate the Trump administration, leading directly to Trump’s first impeachment inquiry.
Second Term (2026): If the upcoming 2026 midterm elections result in a Democratic takeover of Congress, the script will flip back to congressional oversight targeting the Trump family's business dealings, corporate contractors, and high-level officials like Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller.
Within the executive branch, Trump’s own Justice Department has already broken from historical norms by aggressively utilizing federal power to go after political foes—a dynamic expected to intensify or recalibrate depending on how the midterms shake out.

People also misunderstand wave years.
2018 was a wave year. D+9 in Congressional races.
The GOP gained 2 senate seats on net.
Because of where the senate races were. The shift nationally isn't felt uniformly and mostly happens in the safest enclaves of the party having the wave. CA goes from D+30 to D+40, but TX only goes from R+8 to R+6.
Key senate races end up having increased turnout because of the prominence within the state, making it closer to a presidential election in those states.

Y'know, let me put some history on ya:
Prior to 1964, Yasser Arafat was simply a terrorist who spoke like a medieval warlord, ranting on about massacring his enemies and being tirumphant. As a consequence of this caveman mentality, he was little-known in the West and no one sympathiZed with his cause.
AND THEN some American communists traveled over there and said, "Want international support? Do this one simple trick we teach you and you will get money, weapons and cheerleading from people around the world."
Sounds greatA Arafat said. What must I do?
And then the commun ists introduced him to the concept of Marxism, and the post-modern "victimhood narrative."
"Don't keep ranting about how you are winning, how you are supeperior, Yasser. Do the opposite: Cry in public about how you are losing and how the Jews humiliate you."
Arafat: "WHAT??? I would never! That is false! We will kill all the Jews!!"
But eventually his new communist handlers prevailed. ANd he adopted Marxist verbiage. And support from the West poured in.
That has been the playbook ever since: Jihadism wearing the mask of Marxism.

Trials for former presidents do not come under where the Chief Justice had to preside. And had the trial resulted somehow in conviction and banning Trump from future office (which was the aim of it before the McConnell Senate GOP cohort got the wobblies from hearing from voters), would have undoubtedly ended up before Scotus for its irregularity.
Impeachment has been historically viewed as a removal tool for officeholders and a trial has never been conducted after the official was no longer in office in order just to ban them.

You do know that USPS mail is imaged front and back since the anthrax attacks back in the Bush admin. And tracked, take a look at the tiny line codes on the letter sometime. Plus you can look up whether the ballot has been received in almost every state (and certainly in Ohio).
Trump knew this fraud was going on as the vbm were not even sent or received in 2020 by mail but no court would even let him prove it.
That has changed now as standing to challenge has been changed by Scotus.

Paglia's hysterically funny, and ruthlessly cruel when she wants to be. Like when she rags on radical feminists. It's fun to read. I rather suspect that her cruelty comes from being pissed off at academia for putting up road blocks to what she considers to be her proper place in a tenure-track Ivy League position, relegating her to teaching at a little nothing liberal arts university.

What I am hating now is the Clancy Chat Room's wanna be murder moms.
I now refer to it as Sudden Onset Clancyitis aka any year abortion of children from post partum depression.
It could even spread to mothers who have children from surrogates it is so contagious with certain mothers. Many with affluenza as a co-morbid disease.
There needs to be a new ICD code for this as it is now appearing in the news weekly.
Saw a story last night in the UK DM. Fortunately after the petite wife knifed her husband in the forehead he called 911 vs killing her (I would have killed her). Her children, ages 3 and 10mo, were stabbed in the chest and abdomen and will hopefully live.
This was near Dallas. Mommy? When the paramedics got there she was wailing about wanting to die. The police show up and she asks for a...drumroll...lawyer.

[Not that it matters with the Maricopa County & GOPee Fraud Machine.]
Democrat Xavier Becerra has pulled out of a scheduled Los Angeles Times debate with Republican rival Steve Hilton, Hilton announced Monday, a retreat that comes on the heels of independent reporter Anthony Cabassa’s exposure and challenge of Becerra’s claim that his parents arrived as immigrants with twelve dollars in their pockets -- not to mention that he got smoked in their first debate for losing track of hundreds of thousands of migrant children during his time as HHS Secretary.

The Morning Rant
In an Oct. 5 post on Truth Social, he said, "What's driving up Gasoline is no longer the Strait of Hormuz, because Record Numbers of Barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis, but the word, 'Refineries,' where Russia's are being blown up by Ukraine, and where ours are being closed up, in Blue States, like California."
The federal gas tax is 18.4¢/gallon, which yielded about $25 billion in 2025. That's not a small amount of money, but the economic benefit of cheaper gasoline might make up for some of that tax loss. As for the refinery crisis in America? Yes, and we should have been building them for the last 40 years, but thanks to the watermelons in almost every state, and onerous and restrictive federal regulation, building a refinery is a huge undertaking. California has been closing refineries since the 1980s, and America has lost about 10 refineries just this decade! Perhaps President Trump can nationalize the recently closed refineries in California in the interest of national security. And fast-track the expansion of existing refineries and the building of more in red states that are amenable to high-paying jobs. To be fair, American refineries have become more efficient and have expanded production significantly, so the raw number looks worse than it is. But spreading production around the country is a good idea, simply to make sabotage of our refining capacity a more complex operation. And of course the delightful bonus of stick a thumb in the eye of the rabid environmentalist left never gets old! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

It is, but even worse than that is that its construction spans enough years for a change in the national government. What is OK under the GOP is anathema under the Democrats, especially where Oil & Gas is involved. Ever since that golden-boy light-worker jerked the permit for Dakota Gas, major companies have been damned leery of accumulating hundreds of billions of dollars in sunk costs, only to have their permit jerked on a whim by the Democrat-in-office.
That's what killed the nuclear power industry, and that is what is killing the Oil & Gas industry.

Lord, I hate this sort of pandering. Either do it or don't. Stop telegraphing your punches. And who's to guarantee that the next Dem administration won't just reverse the suspension? Or, more likely, a judge will rule Trump has no authority to suspend the tax and he'll back down, just as he did with pulling the MFM passes.
I hate sales tax or gas tax "holidays." It reinforces the idea that the State has the right to decide how much of your money it will allow you to keep. And it begs the question: if you can afford to give me a tax holiday, why can't you afford to eliminate the tax completely?

Manufacturing a commodity is a low profit rate business is why. For the most part, the US does not export fuel (and until Trump and fracking, we did not export LNG or oil either. So producing for the domestic market is a competitive exercise that yields a low profit rate versus finding and exploiting new oilfields, investments into other fuels, etc. So investment always goes to whatever the CEO, board, and stockholders think is going to be the next big thing yielding above normal profit rates than mundane crap. Same reason power companies don't spend a lot investing in electrical network improvements, gas companies on building new pipelines, etc.
Low margin business that is only competitive with other investment choices when interest rates are rock bottom.
That is why Trump wants US interest rates down in part.

Black and white fallacy does not make for good politics which is why libertarians get their ass handed to them in elections. Some people, particularly those in driving type jobs, are hurting from high fuel prices, so any amelioration of their pain makes them more favorable to retaining GOP in office. And these are generally the productive sort, not the layabouts.

Oil is a global market now that US oil can be sold abroad again. Fuel is not currently.
But it is consistent that investment money (which is discretionary spending) will go to what the mgmt/owners/etc think will bring the highest yield. Or in bad times, not be invested at all. Contra Keynes, it is investment increase or lack thereof that drives business cycles--not consumers or government.
And that is also why during Dem administrations, they shut down facilities like in CA that are running at a loss currently. You can only run a factory at a loss for so long before you close it. Future CA environmental laws kicking in made it almost impossible to run a refinery in CA so the companies figured you cannot fight City Hall and folded.

From my understanding--oxygenates in fuel stem not from need but from the archaic in tech terms, Clean Air Act of early 1990's. OBD-II computers basically obliterated the need for it due to a better ability to adjust fuel intake for different temperatures to prevent smog and other nasty byproducts.
MTBE was the original oxygenate used until we found it was leaking into water supplies with ill effects and then they started on our current ethanol crap which persists due to corn farmers and at the time, nat sec ideas when we imported oil from abroad of keeping a domestic source of energy. Not really needed now by my understanding.

First, US Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that the federal government is suspending tech giant Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers who come to the U.S. to live and work using an H-1B visa as it accuses the company of fraud.
“If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants,” said Vice President JD Vance in a White House news conference announcing the decision.
Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling added that some of the largest IT firms in the world would also be suspended from that program, including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCO and Capgemini, as well as Adobe.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes, the oxygenate requirement is an anachronism. No longer "needed" to protect the environment. They reduce the energy content of the fuel, meaning you have to burn more of it to get the same miles. And cause the fuel to be costlier to make. Shitcan the oxygenate requirement, and you would get cheaper gasoline, and more miles per gallon using it.

Yeah, but the pathway from student visa to green card that runs through OPT and H-1B was already hit hard with the two $100,000 fees on new H-1B applications.

Both so far are not proven datapoints. If the Democrats do not turn out by EV or mail, then they are not going to turn out election day.
Right now the biggest miss seems to be that pollsters are modeling likely voters by those willing to respond to pollsters rather than screening questions and background (voter histories on past voting indicate strongly whether they will vote or turnout in the present.) At least so far, the 18-29 yutes are not showing up at all in actual vote by mail or EV stats. History tells us that as time gets closer to elections, these voters are the least likely to turnout in person or even early. That screws up poll weighting for a big turnout by yutes by heavy inclusion because they answer text requests for polling. Selection bias. Ditto for older TDS types in EV, it is appears that the stage four TDS cannot wait to vote against GOP but that is a small percentage of voters.
These midterms so far appear to have an older skew to them and Boomer No Kings types are voting early and responding to polls as are yutes that probably will not vote.

Exactly.
The United States lost approximately 1 million barrels per day of refining capacity & saw several major facility closures or conversions since 2020 due to poor economics, aging infrastructure, and changing market demands.
Look up: Notable U.S. Refinery Closures and Conversions (Recent Decade)
Forbes: Operable U.S. refineries dropped from about 135 in 2020 down to 130 by 2026, as companies prioritize large, low-cost Gulf Coast complexes over aging or high-cost regional plants.
And the shift to "renewable" fuel: U.S. hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) renewable diesel capacity surged over the last few years, climbing past 5 billion gallons annually. The vast majority of this product flows directly to California, where state incentives (like the Low Carbon Fuel Standard) make it economically viable.
But, Market Consolidation and the "RIN Cliff" - The aggressive pivot to green fuels has hit a ceiling, with saturated markets & falling profit margins.
The frantic pace of conversions slowed dramatically.

It was obvious to in all 3 of his elections but particularly in 24 that Trump was going to win just by contrasting the turnouts at his rallies with Harris'.
Trump was selling out arenas everywhere while Harris had to pay twerkers just to get anyone to show up. The enthusiasm gap was real.

Every single published public poll I have seen has talerico winning, some by as much as 9 points. That is statistically impossible here in Texas. There is no way any democrat can win a state wide election by 9 points. I saw a campaign poll released by paxton that has him winning by 4 points, that is about where I think the race will end up.

I said that 2026 would be the lowest turnout and lowest spending midterm in decades.
Well, it's not lowest spending. Both parties are spending a lot, but it is gearing up to be lowest turnout, the hole centered around Democrat bastions, especially in states with a modicum of election integrity built into the system.
Why did I predict that? Because I figured fraud was high and that the Trump 2.0 admin was serious about hurting Democrats where they consolidated power: fraud.
Fingers crossed!

Posted by: Washington Nearsider
Treat them as one data point amidst a host of others. Due to technological changes (scam callers have destroyed response rates), and sociological changes, people don't trust pollsters to respond, public polling as we know it is dying.
Private polling, which is escalating in costs due to non response problems and the need to triangulate data--for example, they actually check voting records of respondents to see if they voted in the past or partisan skew rather than taking their word for it, and using geographic random bloc strategies to determine overall error rate, is still doing okay.
But polling is getting lousy at determining just who is going to vote which is a) dependent on party/candidate turnout mechanisms for the sporadic voter class, b) the inclination of that individual voter to want to be turned out.
I am excluding fraud from the equation because we have guesses about how big it is but not firm data except it almost always benefits Dems.

I really don't know. The "Yes" (pro-independence) side is well-organized, and I see a great many yard signs around here. The "nos" were kind of late getting out of the starting gate, but signs are springing up now. I take that as a sign that the "nos" misread the mood of the public, and figured they had it in the bag, but have now woken up.
IIRC, only about one third of the people in the original Thirteen Colonies were strongly pro-Independence.
A "Yes" win in this referendum does not automatically lead to Alberta gaining independence. It directs the provincial government to begin negotiations with Ottawa towards separation. Ottawa cannot be expected to bargain in good faith. If the "Yes" vote is strong, I see the current squishy conservative leader in Alberta to be replaced by more of a firebrand. Then Ottawa does something particularly stupid and evil, and triggers a Unilateral Declaration of Independence.

It’s not just one. It’s A LOT of them. Like both neighbors of mine. Every block has a few. There is the odd sign for the other side but it’s rare.
I just shrug whatever.
I did check out the election results for my precinct once expecting it to be 80-20 left/right because that’s what the signs would suggest. To my surprise it was more like 55-45. Goes to show signs mean fuck all.

Legislatively removing and writing legislation prohibiting the creation of laws, regulations and policies that would discourage investing in refineries.
Why spend money on equipment that the government, for two generations has told you they deliberately and aggressively want to eliminate?
Why spend hundred thousand dollars on a petrochem degree when the government has promised to keep you unemployed?
Why should any vendor wish to come up with innovative new refinery equipment when no new refineries are being built and the need is only for replacement fittings?
When interest rates are high, the safe money is in time-deposit, not in stocks and cap-ex. If I can get 6% in a safe time-deposit, why put money at risk for 6.5% return?

I said that 2026 would be the lowest turnout and lowest spending midterm in decades.
Well, it's not lowest spending. Both parties are spending a lot, but it is gearing up to be lowest turnout, the hole centered around Democrat bastions, especially in states with a modicum of election integrity built into the system.
Why did I predict that? Because I figured fraud was high and that the Trump 2.0 admin was serious about hurting Democrats where they consolidated power: fraud.
Fingers crossed!

Second term midterms are a different cat than first midterms. And due to identity voting, we get a muddled signal when looking at past elections. But your assertion is historically safe that second term midterms are usually lower in turnout. That means voter mobilization of base voters versus the sporadic can lead to unpredictable swings like in 1998 depending on whose base is more motivated to turnout. I think this will be an older and whiter midterm turnout year and perhaps higher rural/suburban than urban if Ohio is predictive.

The company has agreed to create a nonprofit to distribute at least $100,000 a year for community initiatives. Updated Oct. 22, 2024
In small part, "Sixteen community groups have agreed to support a “community benefits commitment” with HRP Group, owner of the former oil refinery site along the Schuylkill River, the company said."

Yep. Problem is that the media that carries these polls has close to single digit belief among GOP about them. I think these are aimed at the discouraging the GOP leaners more than the base. The problem for the Dems is that the GOP base has been growing faster than the Dems and in a number of 'swing' states as seen in CNN's coverage of all places.

Nationalizing won't remove the CA policies that lead to their closure, nor the selective regulatory enforcement. The operating costs of a refinery in CA will not change either. And, you're handing the next Dem administration a weapon to shut down other companies or allow forced sales to cronies. Bad idea all around.

It will probably be a difference in college yutes versus non college. Non college is seeing their best employment rates in decades, college yutes, especially young white males attending or graduating college, not so much which is where the groyper phenomenon seems to be centered blaming Jews and others (Indians seem to be a target as well) for their misfortunes.

2018 to 2022, the Dems maxed out their cheat machine.
And they knew it.
But they treated that--and continue to--as their baseline turnout.
One of my favorite 2024 stories was who Kamala put in charge of PA--a literal post-turtle that had never run a statewide campaign or had a job outside of Party patronage.
But, she check the right boxes and was put in charge of winning a "must win" state.
Because winning elections (on fraud) "just happens" for all they knew, and you don't need actual competence or skills.

Trump got the highest proportion of repeat voters for a president from the presidential election appearing in the following midterm than any president in the past, like, 30 years.
It was 80% vs. Obama's 50%.
The Trump-only voter is actually far less prominent than people assume. It's far less prominent than the Obama only voter.

I ignore that crap just like old hack GOP types that endorse Democrats. They either were covert Democrats throughout their tenure in office, or they are butthurt that voters/Trump dumped them like George Conway, MTG, Massie, etc.
Democrats endorsing GOP types like in Michigan have the more audacious move as the left does not treat defection kindly. Michigan Dems picking Al Sayed may actually create some realignment in part because of leftists dumping on Democrats crossing the aisle that are supporting Rogers and now perhaps James in the governor's race.
Scars from surviving being outcast from the group tend to lead to a more permanent Left to Right transition as in burning bridges. GOP base is more good riddance to bad rubbish than burn the heretic for defectors.

Less so as time goes on. We are getting real data now regarding turnout by mail and early voting and turnout is what is going to be determinative in this midterm, not polling.
If the misses are big enough, it may well destroy the validity of polling and prediction markets when all is said and done.

Specs: Designed for 120 megawatts of electricity, a 3-acre electrical substation, backup gas/diesel generators, and a closed-loop cooling system.
The Congoleum site is classified as an environmental cleanup site, but technically under the EPA’s RCRA Corrective Action program rather than the traditional Brownfields grant program. Heavy metals are present in both the soil and groundwater at levels exceeding residential safety standards. There's also an engineered landfill cap on-site that must remain undisturbed to prevent exposure. The land can never be used for residential purposes and strictly prohibit anyone from drilling wells or using the local groundwater for drinking.
At least a Data Center brings work and eventually some permanent jobs to the area, which is not at all well off, and would pay taxes.
Look at some of the sites proposed for Data Centers. They may be unusable for safe housing, schools, etc. and sit barren and of no value to a particular area.
A rock and a hard place as many locals can no longer afford the County taxes thanks to the all Democrat County Council.

What makes the painting is the little girl's expression and posture. This is a serious matter. A doll is a real person and should be properly attired, so she brought the matter to a professional like any mother would with her child's shoe. The entire painting is sweet, nostalgic, and relaxing to view. Completely enjoyable.
I recall as a kid some older ladies who decorated their homes with framed covers of Rockwell's magazine covers. It was all they could afford. They would have loved this one.

In a 2012 HuffPost essay written shortly after Obama won reelection, El-Sayed — who said he had voted for him — accused the president of failing to deliver the “hope and change” that defined his 2008 campaign. “This leader has perpetuated war, violated our civil liberties, deported more people from our shores than any other president before him, and the list of his failures goes on,” he wrote.
“That memory will serve not as a reminder of the history we made that night – but of the silly emotions of a naïve young man who didn’t understand that hope and change required more than flowery prose and a winning smile,” El-Sayed wrote of Obama’s first election. “I have little hope because there has been less change.”

Norman Rockwell
Best Normal Rockwell Art: "Cobbler Studying Doll's Shoe, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Literary Digest published April 30, 1921.
This illustration was Rockwell's twenty-fifth picture featured on the cover of The Literary Digest.
Rockwell artwork was featured on the cover of The Digest twelve times just in 1921. A Rockwell cover was published once a month just on this one magazine alone."

The detailing is wonderful, as are the models, but something about the painting is unsettling. (An instance where a dog may have helped.)

The transcript I saw was wrong; changed the word "war" for "word", confusing things. It's obvious he was talking about high gas prices and the war, and that given time Iran would nuke cities like LA and San Diego if they could. It takes purposeful stupidity and obfuscation to come up with the theory that Trump wants Iran to nuke California cities.

-----------
The Wong Brothers emigrated to America and decided to ply their trade making shoes in a small town that had never had its own cobbler. On their opening day the brothers had on display an array of high quality shoes in various styles, but only left shoes. The orders poured in from the local townspeople and the Wongs were busier than they had ever dreamed was possible.
When the first pairs were delivered, one customer noticed first that the shoes were of excellent quality and style, but second, that both shoes were lefts. Assuming this was a mistake, the customer headed off to the cobbler's shop to get the omitted right shoe. To his surprise, he found the shop jammed with other customers, each of whom had the same complaint. Each had received two left shoes.
When Mr. Wong finally appeared before the mood of the crowd was darkening. One of the customers held up his two shoes and asked angrily, "what's the big idea giving everybody two left shoes with their order?"

Saw "A Cure for Wellness' last night.
A very artsy, very loooooong horror movie by Gore Verbinski.
Very pretty cinematography. Nice creepy atmosphere. Story-wise it's like a mash-up between Kafka, bergman, and those old Universal or Hammer horror films.
It also has the same problem of those old horror movies in that halfway into the flick you've already figured out the entire plot (more or less) and are ready for the scares. Even so, Pally, you've got another another hour and fifteen minutes to go.
So, it could easily lose 30-60 minutes with no damage.
The acting ain't great. Not horrible, but they're all charisma vacuums.
it's a swing and a miss. Watch if it sounds interesting to you.
A better Kafka and "horror" mash-up is "Kafka" (1991) by Steven Soderbergh. Hard to find but well-worth watching, it's another one like "Revenant" (2007), that I drag out to each each Halloween season.
Even Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog" (also 1991!!!) is a better if not very good Kafka and horror mash-up.
TL/DR Forget AACFW and watch Soderbergh's "Kafka" (1991).

Close. Plymouth, MA
Wikipedia, in part, "Located in Greater Boston, the town holds a place of great prominence in American history, folklore, and culture, and is known as "America's Hometown". Plymouth was the site of the colony founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, where New England was first established. It is the oldest municipality in New England and one of the oldest in the United States.[5] The town has served as the location of several prominent events, one of the more notable being the First Thanksgiving feast. Plymouth served as the capital of Plymouth Colony from its founding in 1620 until the colony's merger with the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691."

Water gets too cold as hurricanes get up to Kalifornia...so they lose a lot of their power. Also, they tend to curl out to sea or into Baja California first. I think in the last 150 years, maybe ONE hurricane has hit San Diego...and a handful of tropical storms.

Podcasters say crap to drive audience numbers. Has little to no relation to reality nowadays.
From a decent dip into prosecution evidence against Troon furry lover from pretrial, there is not reasonable doubt to me that he did it because there is a witness, video evidence, forensic evidence (DNA, etc.), provenance of the weapon, text admissions, etc.
Too many people focus on ONE particular witness or bit of evidence when a trial is a summation of all the evidence provided. Thus they try to create an illusion of reasonable doubt on ONE piece of evidence arguing the logical fallacy--if one piece is false, then the whole case is false. Bullshit. It is the concatenated joint probabilities of all the evidence going on.
I think this case is mainly where the defense lawyers are trying and will try to keep him from getting the death penalty rather than conviction.

The Morning Report — 10/8 /26
Wednesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said the Republican Party should ditch President Donald Trump’s populism and “go back” to its conservative core.To a repugnant desiccated coprolite like Tillis, that means surrender to the Left and Islam, and let us lying, criminal traitorous scumbags wet our beaks in peace! If somehow the supposed Blue wave fails to materialize come the Midterms, well hopefully we won't be saddled with a fresh crop of Tillises, which means President Trump's agenda for his final two years is likely dead in the water, which would be exactly the same thing but without impeachments, or perhaps with impeachments depending upon the status of J.D. Vance, that is railroad him as well and install Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries as POTUS?! If all that isn't enough to gag a maggot, I give you the following items.
Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and creator of the Substack “Abortion, Every Day,” called abortion “an affordability issue,” and contended that “you’d be hard pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not that you’re gonna be forced into pregnancy, or not even just forced into pregnancy, but forced into massive medical debt because your pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”Once again we have the Democrat/Left giving a very unsubtle green light to engage in infanticide. Postpartum by multiple trimesters!
The Lindsay Clancy Social Contagion feels even more real after this latest report about a Texas mother accused of trying to murder her two small children. One child is just ten months old. The other is three years old.Well it's Texas so I'm sure if James Talarico should defeat Ken Paxton, he'll get right on this. That is make this a common occurrence! Ugh. Even with this, and in the wake of yesterday being the third anniversary of the Islamic Mass wave of butchery from Gaza which the aforementioned story is Islamic in its theme... For some reason I'm still optimistic about the future, as you can see from my posting the essay about Marco Rubio up top. Y aqui
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently traveling to Iceland, Greece, and Portugal, stood where the West was born and urged our allies to reject its decline. The imagery was stunning, but the message was more important — it's something that's been a theme throughout Rubio's time at the State Department over the last 20 months: We must maintain the values that make us great.
When was the last time any real American leader spoke this way and actually meant it?! Should he, by some miracle, become President at some point in the future he will be outstanding (his baggage from his early days, in particular the Gang of 8 amnesty foolishness), and of course the opposition from the Democrat/Left and worse the Tom Tillis saboteurs of the GOP should they still be a factor. And so here's to better days, but for now I bid you all to have a good day.

Now, picture her being cross-examined about the details of her encounter -- sluttier than a porn star. Especially her resurrecting Bro #1.
I doubt that this was her first walk on the wild side -- so expect a legal fight over the admissibility of past behavior.
This won't end well for her, even if Cornell settles big (paging Sally Yates!)
As the weakest Ivy, Cornell will take a hit. Who'll want to go there, when there are other choices. It'll be a safety school for the likes of Vanderbilt.
And I expect that this will backfire on Hochul, who'll be tied to it. She'll stir up the AWFL vote, but she already had that. Most voters will be appalled as details leak out -- and they will.

This is absolutely sickening.
Coffeyeh, a coffee shop in Cedar Park, Texas, just outside Austin, is giving free lattes on October 7th to anyone who comes in wearing a keffiyeh and can tell them "what day it is."
October 7th is the day Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups stormed southern Israel, killed ~1,200 people, and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Turning the anniversary of a massacre into a coffee promo is sick. The Islamification of Texas continues.

@WesternLensman
Keith Ellison says Republicans mean to cheat in the midterms, and people should be "ready to protest, take to the streets."
"Don't act like, oh, they couldn't mean that. They mean it...So be ready to get your dukes up."
"I'm one who believes in peaceful protest, First Amendment."
"But if they try to take our vote away, we should absolutely be in the street. And I'll be right out there with everybody else."
So the sitting Minnesota AG is casting doubts on the legitimacy of the election before a vote is counted and warning about firing up street mobilization in response.
Not too long ago, this kind of rhetoric was deemed by Democrats as A Threat To Democracy -- but now it's just boilerplate Democrat.

The sprawling house at 2 Sixth Ave. closed at $15 million, $7 million over its initial $8 million asking price. It was put on the market on Sept. 17 for only the second time ever.
Spanning 4,490 square feet — by most standards disqualifying it from the moniker “mansion” — the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property was built in 1914, with its original owners maintaining it for 70 years. In 1984, it sold for the first time ever to residents who lived there until now.

Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland
I’m thrilled to share that my new book, Unreliable Boyfriend, will be out on October 13. I can’t wait for you to read it.
Not a teen romance:
From the bestselling author of Plutocrats, journalist-turned-political leader Chrystia Freeland delivers a personal and incisive examination of power, international relations, and global trade. Drawing from her years in government, Unreliable Boyfriend offers a revelatory view of the United States through the eyes of a Canadian who dealt with American chaos firsthand.
USA = "unreliable boyfriend"
How old is she?

The Judge's Quarters, which Hofheinz occupied from 1965 to 1972, was a 24-room complex spanning up to seven floors located in the right-field stands behind the scoreboard, that cost approximately $1.5 million to build.
Its eclectic, "early King Farouk" decor included a Presidential Suite with purple velvet baths and gold toilet handles reserved for Lyndon B. Johnson, a Tipsy Tavern with a slanted floor, a bowling alley, a shooting gallery, a private putting green, and conference rooms with zebra-print chairs.
This apartment was dismantled and removed in 1988 to make room for additional stadium seating.

Of course. Both "officially" on the various sites/apps and also unofficially amongst a lot of everyday amateurs. My buddies and I almost always have some bet going during our rounds. Usually a $5 per person bet on every Par 3 - whoever is closest to the pin wins it all. Has to be on the green though. So if nobody hits the green, it carries over to the next Par 3. That hole becomes $10 per person - an so on. We carry it forward to the next round if necessary.

Daily Tech News 8 October 2026
Top Story
- I wondered recently when Saleforce blamed their failure to increase profits on their AI spending habits what the hell they were doing with it, because while they didn't put a number on it the figures they did mention implied it is in the hundreds of millions of dollars a year, enough to build twenty production-grade compilers or one public toilet in San Francisco.
Well, it's not Salesforce, but I have found someone doing something useful with AI coding tools: ArtCraft. (Get ArtCraft)
ArtCraft itself is an AI-assisted art program. That's not the neat part, though.
The neat part is the smaller associated apps.
PhotoCraft is a photo editing program. VectorCraft is a vector graphics program. FilmCraft and EffectCraft are for video editing and effects. DesignCraft is for document layout.
If this sounds like the offerings of a certain major software company to you, you are not alone.
And it's all free as in beer and as in speech. Download the binaries, download the source code, and do whatever you want with them. All the programs run on Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, and on web browsers.
Early days yet; two programs are in alpha and the others haven't even got that far, but this is what we'll be seeing a lot more of in the future.
Tech News
- Microsoft has reduced monthly AI spending caps from $100,000 per employee to $10,000. (RS Websols)
That sort of expense could easily mount into the hundreds of millions of dollars a year for a large company with a lot of developers, but as I said of Salesforce, there is little sign the money was well-spent.
- Microsoft has announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, with Nvidia's RTX Spark CPU and up to 128GB of RAM starting at $2599. (Notebook Check)
You do not get 128GB of RAM in the $2599 model. You get the slower version of the CPU and 24GB of RAM. But the top of the line model is less horrifyingly expensive than I was expecting at $5899.
Lacks the Four Essential Keys, though, so that's a no from me.
- Shiny Hunters, the hacking group who recently broke into an FBI employee database and promptly got to encounter FBI employees up close and personal, we up to other shady and stupid stuff. (Krebs on Security)
And the hackers already arrested are singing like canaries.
- Minisforum's new expansion card brings four M.2 slots, a USB-C port, and for some reason, OCuLink to a single PCIe x4 slot using AMD's B850 motherboard chip for around $135. (WCCFTech)
Fine, but also, why?
- JGINYUE (who?) also delivers four M.2 slots, two 10Gb USB-A ports, a 10Gb USB-C port, and a 2.5Gb Ethernet adaptor to a PCIe x4 slot using AMD's older B650 motherboard chip for around $58. (WCCFTech)
A year or so ago when storage was still cheap this would have been great. Now it's... Fine.

And this song also reminds of the song Stomp, by the Brothers Johnson, who wisely didn't not shorten their name to the BJays.
So there's a lot of fun facts that don't really have a lot to do with each other. Here's a couple of more fun facts:
When I lived in Nashville we had a local construction company called Lojac. They had several unfortunate blast incidents while working on the highway, so I renamed them BlowJac, and started singing David and David's Welcome to the Boomtown.

The PhotoCraft section has screenshots that make it look just like Photoshop. The toobar has two columns instead of one, but everything is similar. At least it's better than Gimp in that department.
I'm surprised Adobe isn't already trying to sue them.
I downloaded Photocraft (the installer file is only 51.8mb) and it opens psd files, which is always a good sign for a photo editor. Works just like Photoshop, too. What it's missing is the newer AI features Pshop has that can help select an area, remove/replace selected areas, or use AI generative fill when needed.
But yeah, it's a a lot easier to use than Gimp if you're trying to find a Photoshop replacement because it's basically a clone.

Fine, but also, why?
I can understand somebody might want some exta M.2 slots if their motherboard (like mine) only has two M.2, I can understand somebody (like me) who only has a 10gbps USB-C on their motherboard wanting the 20gbps port.
But, I have no clue why somebody would want Occulink on an add-in card. I mean, if you're already on a desktop with PCIe slots then why would you need an Occulink port for a GPU?
Occulink is good for connecting GPUs to Mini-PCs without expansion slots until USB-C/Thunderbolt gets fast enough.
Maybe use the Occulink to hook up another AI system with a faster connection?
Not much else I can imagine doing with it.

BBC Radio 2 apologises for George Benson tribute error
BBC Radio 2 has apologised after mistakenly paying tribute to George Benson following a news report announcing the death of composer George Fenton.
The error happened after the 11pm news on Monday during The Good Groove, in which Melvin Odoom was sitting in for DJ Spoony, when the presenter introduced George Benson’s version of Nature Boy as a tribute.

Wednesday Night ONT - October 7, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Early morning activity planned here, so won't be around much in the ONT comments tonight. Please don't make a mess of the place. The cleaning charge is horrific. JQ is in charge and will rule with an iron fist.
Engineers in Scotland and Japan are planning to put Scotch on a rocket in 2028, sending a satellite containing samples of whisky and its base ingredients on a five-year mission to orbit the Earth. It is hoped the frequent changes between extreme heat and freezing cold experienced by the whisky as it rotates the planet every 90 minutes could speed up the maturation process. This could potentially open the door to future production of space-aged whisky, which the scientist behind the project expects to have "very bold" flavours as a result of its unusual journey.Funny. My university experience did not involve launching rockets to age alcohol.
Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly sorted and processed. Are you lurking ????

I can answer that without going to space.
Balcones Distilling ages its whiskies for notably short periods, often as little as 2 years or less, due to the rapid maturation caused by Texas’s intense heat and wide temperature swings.
This climate forces barrels to "breathe" more frequently than in cooler regions, accelerating extraction and allowing the distillery to release spirits with deep flavor profiles much faster than traditional methods.
The whiskey that they age only 24 months has won numerous awards.

Buddy and I pooled our money together and ordered the first Iron Maiden album via Gibson's drug store (which was kind of a Woolworth type store). When it arrived, the Far Side style matronly lady looked at it and sniffed, then handed it over.
We were cutting edge metal heads in that small Wyoming town.
First concert I ever saw was Maiden on their Somewhere in Time tour, in Glendale AZ, 1987.

Aesthetically and visually it's comparable, game mechanics are slightly different, there is no thought cabinet, the inner monologue is not to the same caliber as Elysium, it's bigger game world but overall, it's a pale comparison.
For instance, the Secret of Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge, was leaps and bounds better than the 1st game, which was a great game itself.

And I have some mosasaur bone, and ammonite fragments, too. It never occurred to me that they might be radioactive, but I have the means to check it. That Precision Scintillator was introduced in 1954, and it has acorn tubes in it, invented during WWII for proximity fuses. It would be right at home in that Forbidden Planet movie. I have the Scintillator, the manual, the calibration source, and the leather case. I did load it up with batteries once, and it worked just fine. The sensor is a large crystal of sodium iodide, coupled to a photomultiplier tube. A gamma ray passes through the crystal, causing a faint flash of light, which is picked up by the photomultiplier tube, and amplified thousands of time, resulting in a current pulse: a "count".

1) A petite fashionista, apparently living well near Dallas, Texas from photos of her house and poses, stabs her tall husband in the forehead and then her two sweet children, ages 3yrs and 10months early Tues morning. Due to Clancyitis aka post partum depression. Right. The babies thankfully will live after being stabbed in the chest and abdomen after her husband called 911. EMT's said she wanted to kill herself. Officers said this changed when they appeared and she wanted a lawyer. Another for the growing list. Demons walk among us.
2) A young mother in Ohio fought Stage 4, 2B triple negative breast cancer and a double mastectomy when her first daughter was 1yrs old (now 9yrs old). She then developed headaches and a brain tumor metastasis and kept fighting with partial brain radiation and a PARP inhibitor for BRCA mutations to stop the tumor's growth with no active disease. In 2023 she conceived naturally and was able to have a second baby girl, 22mo old. She said, "My life with these kids is messy and perfect and I love it."

The implement in the top pic is a swather of some kind. Well, a John Deere swather, by the color of it. I have not seen swathers that do a triple swath before. I suspect the crop is some kind of green feed, like alfalfa?
Here, they often swath grain or canola, let it dry in the swath for few days, and then combine it. But weather lately has been good, so mostly straight combining is being done.

So, if you haven't seen "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" You don't really get it, but there is a significant scene preceding the final conflict. It was the entirety of "The Number of the Beast." and I laughed my ass off for how ridiculous it seemed while still being appropriate for the moment, and then I laughed even more because what made it so ridiculous and so appropriate is that I liked Iron Maiden, I liked them when I was a kid, when they were one of the major instruments of youthful rebellion and FUCK YOU ROCK! And realized. . . _I'm_ a Maiden Fan!! That's what we look like now rocking out in the car.

Canola is a cultivar of rapeseed (which is a relative of mustard). Rapeseed oil contained too much erucic acid to be palatable, but had industrial uses. By good old selective breeding, Canadian agribusiness was able to create a rapeseed so low in erucic acid that the oil was palatable, and fit to cook with. Hence "Canola". It's really striking to see a field of canola next to a field of flax, with its blue flowers.

Yeah, rotating crops is a good thing. To plant the same crop year after year will make the soil poor. You need to let the soil retain the nutrients it needs and help build those nutrients back up. So farmers rotate crops to keep good soil.

It's even more funny because his dad kinda hated me, but his mom absolutely loved me. I guess it's true about people who share characteristics are more likely to find the flaws in each other because we recognize our own.

But still. Deciding to get out of the Hollywood meat grinder to go into music....The best to all of them.

I remember when they use to bale hay, now they roll hay and they started doing that for cotton now.
___________
You can buy bales of hay just about anywhere. One of the more fun things is to introduce puppies to a bale of hay. Puppy crack. They jump on it, play king of the mountain, tear off flakes and shake them, and burrow through it. It all gets spread out and they sleep exhausted in it.

Roosters are asshoe. They're lucky each day they don't get their necks wrung.

Pretty quiet where I live. I only have three acres but I'm right in the middle of it. Living in the city was constant noise, and terrible traffic. You had to learn what areas to stay away from. Always had to watch your back. No, I don't miss city living. Also everyone around here is armed, and there is very little crime. I wonder why?🙂

Just as so many big-name rock acts are on farewell tours, at least one is making a live comeback. Ending what was billed as a permanent vacation from the concert stage, Aerosmith on Wednesday announced a pair of shows set for October 29 and November 1 at the Hollywood Bowl — with a little help from a lot of friends

Dude across the street from me has a bunch. Out of nowhere. One day they were all over his lawn. I see them in the street, in my driveway, all over. The houses are set back far enough to where you barely hear them when you're outside. Still, I don't mind being around the corner from farms, just not in my frigging yard. One was walking up my driveway exploring. It saw me standing in the garage and started walking faster. I started one of the bikes quick. He changed his mind. lol

Hammond, City, gangs, crime all over the place, Marine Corps, dead ass of no where. Dead silence, it was unnerving, then 12 years in Portgate/Valpo, Traffic and farms.

Without Wikipedia's help, when did humans start crop rotation?
The reference is the World History Encyclopedia article “Agriculture in the Fertile Crescent & Mesopotamia.” It says a Sumerian “Farmer’s Almanac,” dated to 1700 BC_, shows that Mesopotamians understood crop rotation and left fields fallow to maintain soil fertility. World History Encyclopedia
I need to correct my earlier “around 6000 BCE” answer: that date is associated with early agriculture and irrigation in Mesopotamia, not evidence for crop rotation. The source supports at least by 1700 BC_ for documented knowledge of the practice—not necessarily when people first began rotating crops.

Mexican cartel members are reportedly traveling to Ukraine to pose as war volunteers and receive training in the operation of high-tech drones. The goal: to return to Mexico and use that knowledge against authorities, civilians, and rival criminal organizations.
Ace's link, Oct 5, talked about them fighting with Ukraine as soldiers for the cause but specifically there to learn drone tech and bring it home. That tech is in Ecuador now.
It's never mentioned in the news the Ziggy is supplementing his army with skilled Mexican mercenaries.

Hate to be a bummer and all, but it looks my mother is in the terminal phase, and there's probably not much time left. Her heart rate is getting sort of erratic, and her O2 level is dropping. I've got this 5L/min O2 concentrator cranked up to 4.5L/min, which is about the max just to keep her O2 in the mid - 80% range.

You came for the gay orgy and didn't expect the firing squad.
I have to say the left's weird Main Character/Persecution Fantasy complex is getting completely out of hand.
Book stores and libraries put out large displays of books that were pulled from the West Podunk Public Library and and act like it's Kristallnacht, meanwhile Dem candidates for high office debate whether Jews have a right to exist.
The cognitive dissonance is off the charts.

Haven't done business there in a decade so things might have changed but the powers started to realize they had a problem on their hands. Not just the UAE but the Saudis, Qatar and others.
Between checks going out to citizens and the requirement that anyone wanting to start a business in those countries had to have citizen that was a partner, another way to get a check for doing nothing. And they had a lot of young people, mostly men, that weren't doing anything and we all know what happens with idle hands. Particularly there.
They hired consultants to help them come up with a thing that was called Vision 2030. Basically, how do we get young people working and wean the country off total reliance on oil. We'll see.

Anecdotal, but during the Kuwait occupation in 1990, when Iraq invaded, the embassy personnel were trapped on the compound. They had tuna that someone had ordered for the canteen and drank the pool water for six months until their safe passage out was negotiated. Pools have a use besides fun!

Yes, we have the little tabs and a copper ionizer, so we don’t have to use a heck of a lot of chlorine. I think we will be okay unless this turns a whole lot worse than it shows now. I am guessing power to the studio will be brought online fairly quickly as it’s anchored by Publix and we can always get water from there.
But the pool may be nice for a bath if there is no water or electricity at home. Plus, my neighbor can run a lot on both of our houses off of his Tesla, which is pretty cool. 😎

Quick Hits
We must trust the Deep State with all of our might.
A former CIA officer admitted in a plea deal Tuesday that he disclosed details about a secret U.S. intelligence source to a foreign official and embezzled nearly $200 million from the federal government. David Rush pleaded guilty in Virginia federal court to one count of wire fraud after an FBI raid on his home in May uncovered 298 gold bars worth $46 million, $2.1 million in cash and dozens of luxury items. Justice Department officials said Rush embezzled $194 million from the federal government, using his position at the intelligence agency to create an elaborate scheme designed to facilitate his "maximum self-enrichment at the expense of the United States." ... Rush admitted in a plea document that he disclosed "certain descriptive information of a U.S. government clandestine human source" last year that could "endanger the safety and life of the human source and the U.S. government officers working with the source," according to NBC News. He also admitted his actions jeopardized America's "ability to recruit human sources, who rely on the U.S. government's assurance of absolute secrecy."Which country he sold us out to was not revealed. His plea deal calls for merely up to 20 years in prison. Maryland jury finds that males falsely accused of sexual assault are therefore the victims of sex-based harassment.
In what may amount to a landmark decision for college campuses, a Maryland jury has declared a man falsely accused of sexual assault the victim of sex-based harassment. A male college student falsely accused of sexual assault scored a major victory for due process and equal rights late last month, after a federal jury found the University of Maryland failed to protect him from severe harassment after he was falsely accused and ultimately cleared through the school's own Title IX process. The jury sided with the falsely accused student -- identified as John Doe in a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Daily Wire -- who accused the University of Maryland of failing to protect him from severe harassment, including a student-led smear campaign, after he was fully cleared from from the female student's allegations. The case was heard before an Obama-appointed judge, Paula Xinis, and the jury found evidence that falsely accused man faced harassment that was "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offense that it deprived him of equal access to an educational opportunity or benefit at the University of Maryland." It also found that the University of Maryland "was deliberately indifferent to the harassment."
Advertisement The ruling marks the first time that a jury has ever found that false sexual assault accusations can be considered sex-based harassment, according to the man's attorney, Jason Greaves of the Binnall Law Group.
Sanity half-prevails as a federal judge upholds New Hampshire's new election-security rules, which state that a student cannot just show a student ID to prove his eligibility to vote. He must show official ID showing he's a permanent resident of New Hampshire. Unfortunately, this woke judge then struck down New Hampshire's rule that all voters must show an official ID. He claims that's an "overstep" of authority that might keep illegal aliens from voting for Democrats. He didn't say the last part, but that's their concern.
New Hampshire students will no longer be able to use a student ID card as proof of identity when they show up to the polls to vote after a federal judge upheld the state's new voter ID restrictions. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Court judge Joseph Laplante, upheld a New Hampshire law requiring students to have a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, to vote. But Laplante's decision also sided with good government groups who sued over New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan's unilateral extension of that requirement to the voter registration process, ruling that the state's top election official overstepped his authority. "The State has offered no independent justification for that broader prohibition," Laplante wrote in the ruling. "Under the Supreme Court’s standard for evaluating voting regulations, even a minimal burden on the right to vote must be justified by the State’s interests, and the State has identified no interest."
Trump continues his agenda of a Reagan-like rearmament. I know that's bad because Tucker Carlson says no nation has the right to go to war, ever, unless it's Nazi Germany or Putin's Russia. Or probably one of the Arab states he may or may not be partnered up with.
Trump said the new yards will help build submarines. No way. Content warning on hitting the link -- it runs with lightly censored pictures of this cow having sex. She's about as cute as you'd expect a Democrat weirdo "they/them" hobbyist pornographer to be.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the construction of a major shipyard in Baltimore, which he said would be the largest new shipyard in the U.S. since World War II. "Today, we're officially launching the construction of the largest new shipyard in the United States since World War II, there's been nothing like what we're doing today," Trump said. The $3.7 billion investment from Anduril will receive billions more in support from the federal government. The facility will span 2 million square feet and be known as Arsenal-2.

The NYT is attempting to get Sophie Cunningham banned from the WNBA.
A New York Times columnist says WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, an outspoken opponent to transgender athletes in women's sports, has turned games for her team, the Indiana Fever, into a "circus" and that the team should release her. The Fever was eliminated last week from championship contention, and the 30-year-old Cunningham is now an unrestricted free agent for a second consecutive offseason. "Cunningham is too combustible, her takes too turbulent to be paired with [league star] Caitlin Clark," columnist Candace Buckner writes in her opinion story, published Tuesday. "Clark, by her presence alone, already can't get through a season without being thrown into gutter debates that pit White against Black; hate that appears even in the DMs of her own teammates. Cunningham, with only a few words, introduced new divisions."
A Chinese foreigner "professor" of Islam at Haverford "College" has been charged with threatening a Jewish colleague with violence and calling for a new Holocaust.

@sfmcguire79 NEW: Haverford Professor Guangtian Ha has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague. Posing as a MAGA anon on X, he allegedly messaged another Haverford professor around 50 times between October 2025 and May 2026. In addition to posting vile antisemitic messages (see below), he allegedly posted his colleague's "home address, infant child's name, a photograph of the family's mailbox, countless antisemitic slurs and threats, and reference to real-time observation of their home." The target's wife twice moved out of the home with their three children because they were so terrified. Ha is a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine. He has called complaints about antisemitism on campus "Zionist witch hunts." Originally from China, he is an associate professor of religion at Haverford who studies Islam in China. He holds a PhD in anthropology from Columbia. His dissertation is entitled, "Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism." He won the 2023 Clifford Geertz Prize in the Anthropology of Religion for his book, The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China. He is "charged with one count of cyberstalking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
2261A(2). The statutory maximum for cyberstalking is five years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment." Here are some of the messages he posted (brace yourself): "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion" "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments" "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons." "@[Victim 1] Eliminate thejewish cockroaches. Exterminate the jewish state. [Victim 1], you will have nowhere to go. Your family has no future in the US. Give it another 10 years, and you shall see a true holocaust." "@[Victim 1] Fat jew, leave lower merion." "@[Victim 1] Jew, watch your [Victim I's minor son's true name]. There shall be a sign." After the victim took security precautions: "@[Victim 1] The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave. Blurring your home on google map and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help."

Openly musing about Iran, a country we are currently at war with "Taking out" two American cities while his adoring fans cheer him on! But it's okay because we're liberals. We deserve to be bombed. Could somebody please change this man's diaper already?" He also says people are hypocrites for criticizing his Trump-Melania joke "So if that joke, that rhetoric was deranged and dangerous and violent and dark, surely you must be mortified by the president of the United States casually ruminating the deaths of 13 million people."

BREAKING: DHS says ICE has arrested a Nigerian illegal alien campaign staffer for Democratic Congressional nominee Janelle Stelson, who is running against Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) in PA-10, considered to be a tight/toss up race. Per DHS, while working as a canvasser for Stelson, Chimaobim Adedayo Igbojekwe was arrested by police in East Pennsboro Township, PA after he was caught in public with his pants off, fully exposing himself in a residential neighborhood near a park and children. He pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. ICE arrested him after his conviction.
DHS says he is a visa overstay who was granted deferred action by the Biden administration in 2021.

From GatewayPundit.
Newly unsealed police bodycam footage shows the shocking moments after a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher at a Virginia elementary school back in 2023.
In 2023, the Newport News Commonwealth’s prosecutor decided the 6-year-old boy who shot a Virginia school teacher wouldn’t face charges.
Richneck Elementary School teacher Abby Zwerner was hospitalized for two weeks after one of her students shot her in January 2023.
An elderly female teacher had the child restrained on her lap when officers arrived.
“Ya’ll wanna f*ckin piece of me, bitch!” the child shouted as police officers entered the classroom. “F*ck you bitches!”
“That n*gga retired last year!” the boy shouted after the teacher said she had warned the assistant principal of a threat earlier.

I read that the same kid as a 5-year old walked behind his teachers desk and choked her from behind. And get this, even though Hollywood female action stars show this is physically impossible, apparently the kid was well on his way to choking the teacher out until a teaching-assistant intervened.

For all the obvious tensions between the mayor and the Jewish and pro-Israel communities in the past, today, I believe, because of @ZohranKMamdani statement, will be a watershed moment. Maybe even a turning point. The mayor is a genius, so he must have known what the reaction to his words would be. Amazing, truly. And, now, dangerous and volatile.

They'll pass on this one. Because it's just too hard. Too chaotic.
And NYC and Mass and Maryland and New Jersey and on and on will simply refuse to comply. Like they've done every since Heller. That's enough right there to turn Roberts and ACB.

Somali Aspiring Doctor and/or Engineer Arrested for Plotting to Shoot Up the Mall of America for ISIS
We're hitting Economic Contribution and Cultural Enrichment levels that shouldn't even be possible!
In another persuasive example of how diversity increases our strength, the FBI conducted what appears to have been a sting operation that netted a Minnesotan Somali man who was planning a terrorist attack at the Mall of America later this month.Some People Plotted to Shoot Some Other People.
Details of the plot are still emerging, and it's unclear whether the man was acting alone. Clearly, the FBI had reason to suspect him, since the charges indicate that he bought a weapon from an FBI agent and discussed his intentions, pledged support for ISIS and terrorism in general, and his desire to die for Allah. Obviously, something directed the FBI to this man as the plotting was going on, since they had been following his movements for two years.
According to an affidavit unsealed on Wednesday, FBI agents arrested 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud on Tuesday directly after he purchased an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition with the stated intent of carrying out a mass shooting. The criminal complaint alleges Mohamud had messaged an informant for nearly two years, discussing his hatred of non-Muslims and his desire to align with an Islamic terror group. He floated the idea of joining al Qaeda and al Shabaab before deciding to lend his support to the Islamic State. Mohamud repeatedly expressed his admiration for Islamic terrorist attacks, including the New Year's Eve 2024 attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans; the 2017 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida; and the 2025 mass shooting during a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney. When the informant tried to talk Mohamud out of such an attack, he replied, "I am 100% committed [sic] to the cause of dying for the sake of Allah only." Messages indicated he planned to target the Hmong Arts Celebration at Mall of America on Oct. 24 because "it will be a lot of people." ... During that transaction, he explained that he was "an active member of ISIS" and that "part of his motivation was that the Mall of America was owned by Jews," the complaint states.Videos at the link. Meanwhile: United allows a jihadi to fly its commercial planes.
A United Airlines pilot who described the October 7 attack as "resistance by a brave people" and said it was "not unprovoked" is still flying passengers for the airline. Ibrahim R. Mossallam was temporarily removed from flying duties after the post sparked outrage, but later returned to the cockpit. Since then, he has continued posting strongly anti-Israel statements. Mossallam also serves as Vice President of the Board of CAIR-New York.
🚨BREAKING: UNITED PILOT WHO DEFENDED OCT. 7 STILL FLYING
A United Airlines pilot who described the October 7 attack as “resistance by a brave people” and said it was “not unprovoked” is still flying passengers for the airline. Ibrahim R. Mossallam was temporarily removed from flying duties after the post sparked outrage, but later returned to the cockpit. Since then, he has continued posting strongly anti-Israel statements. Mossallam also serves as Vice President of the Board of CAIR-New York. I asked United a simple question: Why is he still flying passengers? As of now, United has not provided an official response.

Related: Two Maryland Men are arrested for stabbing an off-duty NYPD officer. I imagine that one of the violent street muggers is a Doctor, and the other, an Engineer.
The two thugs accused in the cowardly stabbing of an off-duty NYPD detective are both illegal migrants from the Dominican Republic who snuck into the US under former President Joe Biden, according to officials. Each of them also had been later busted for various crimes in Gotham -- but released because of soft-on-crime laws and the Big Apple's Sanctuary City rules preventing law-enforcement cooperation with ICE. The criminals had attacked Detective Jose Mercedes as he was grabbing items out of the trunk of his car at Rochambeau Avenue and East 208th Street in Norwood in The Bronx around 1:45 p.m. Friday, cops said. The brazen pair pulled up to Mercedes on e-bike, then tried to snatch the cop's gold chain, authorities said. The cop fought back and was stabbed seven times by the violent muggers, who sped off and left the detective bleeding on the sidewalk, police said. Mercedes, who is assigned to the 44th Precinct in The Bronx, miraculously survived the attack because the knife missed his vital organs, sources said. He was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and treated for his injuries before being released Monday. Police identified his alleged attackers Tuesday in the midst of a continuing massive manhunt for them. "Both of these suspects were released into the country by the Biden administration, and despite multiple prior arrests in New York, sanctuary politicians refused to cooperate with ICE and released them," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin in a statement. "These suspects remain at large," Mullin said. "DHS is calling on New York authorities to cooperate with us so we can get these dangerous criminals off our streets." ... Mejia and his family illegally crossed the US border with Mexico near San Luis, Arizona, in December 2022 and were nabbed by border patrol agents but released into the country, authorities said. Mejia was then arrested in The Bronx on a weapons-possession charge last year -- a rap that was not bail-eligible -- and he was released, authorities said. DHS, which oversees ICE, said Mejia also had other previous raps against him: criminal possession of stolen property, possession of burglar's tools and grand larceny. The disposition of the charges was unclear.
If you are booking a flight on United Air, maybe you should think twice. This is the caliber of people they have flying your planes.
Advertisement So, this pilot defended Hamas killing innocents in Israel. Rightfully, United Air removed him from the cockpit. The ridiculous pilot's union defended him so he got his job back.
NEW: As we reported, DHS confirms both suspects are Dominican illegal aliens caught & released at the AZ border by the Biden admin w/ lengthy criminal histories in sanctuary NYC. New DHS photos of them attached.
Statement via @SecMullinDHS: These illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic are suspects in the stabbing and attempted robbery of an off-duty NYPD detective,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Both of these suspects were RELEASED into the country by the Biden Administration, and despite multiple prior arrests in New York, sanctuary politicians refused to cooperate with ICE and released them. This horrific crime could have been prevented if it weren’t for Biden’s open borders and the America Last policies of New York sanctuary politicians. These suspects remain at-large. DHS is calling on New York authorities to cooperate with us so we can get these dangerous criminals off our streets. Our thoughts and prayers are with the detective for a speedy recovery.”— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 6, 2026

After the mayor called the 5:30 p.m. session to order and invited those who wished to participate in the invocation to stand, the scheduled speaker began: “Let us pray. Dear dark father, let us stand now unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times.”
He continued by urging the room to “embrace the luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old,” to judge people by “concrete actions” rather than “arbitrary social norms,” and to hold “only to that which is demonstrably true.”
He closed with the line that set off the room: “It is done. Hail Satan.”

The footage shows the boy, identified only as J. T., sitting in the lap of Amy Kovac, the class's reading specialist, with police surrounding them at Richneck Elementary School on January 6, 2023.
The child stole his mother's gun and brought it into school, before shooting his first-grade teacher Abigail Zwerner in the left hand and upper left chest.
In the video, obtained by the Virginian-Pilot and published for the first time since the ordeal three years ago, the child is heard shouting expletives before police tried to handcuff him.
Officer Brian Torrez's bodycam caught the defiant boy saying 'I don't care if I go to jail, b****,' while the reading specialist restrained him on her lap.
'If you want a piece of me, come get it!' The six-year-old said to the police after the officer asked for the boy's name.
'I stole that from my mom,' the boy said, pointing to the gun that was used in the shooting.
'I don't care if you call back up, I don't care if I go to jail, b****,' the boy can be heard saying in the footage.

A school resource officer flagged the post Tuesday morning. The post warned of a planned fight at the stadium.
Extra security will be on hand as authorities work to determine whether the threat is credible.

Cowardly or not, when Islam has a few million suicide bombers/killers, and millions more that will scam any system, and murder/rape/threaten from within, then Islam has a system that can take down altruistic "peaceful" nations that are not prepared for their barbarity.
When "kill them all" is the plan, killing the unprepared civilians and domestic structures works pretty well, as we see in Europe, or Minnesota

wonder if they waited till he was 18 to move forward with charges? Instead of identifying someone to save with intervention as a youth with the right support
How shit must your life be to want to pledge allegiance to isis and plan something like this? Dude was born and raised here too wtf.
I guarantee there will be zero poll impact because of this. Especially with how the current news cycle works now it'll probably be forgotten by the weekend.
Do we have any corroboration from a reliable source? Or is this yet another case of the DOJ making things up and dropping charges later?

I just finished Stephen Hunter's SoftTarget, a thriller from 2011 with exactly that plot. Well, he calls it "America's Mall," and develops it so that it sounds unlike the real one. But the story features twelve Somalians, brought in by an imam under the direction of . . . well, that's a surprise. It's what Die Hard III should have been. And there is even a nod to the original film.

Nick Shirley Exposes How Bums Sell Taxpayer-Funded Food Stamps to Scammers -- Often "Foreign" -- for Cash to Buy Drugs.
The Homeless Bums Chase Him Down the Street for Exposing the Scam.
That all came after a wild investigation which showed how street hoods trade their SNAP funds for cash -- or fentanyl, oftentimes. Shirley likened it to swapping Pokemon cards, only this was for pennies on the dollar; he asked a man who said he had $306 on his food stamp card how much he was willing to deal it for, and the man said he was willing to sell it for $120. Shirley then linked up with a middle-aged woman from Vietnam who said she could make a deal with him. She ushered him over to a seafood market where the cashier rang them up for $120 for a can of spam and one plate of sushi; Shirley -- who was donning a Seahawks beanie and face mask as he tried to hide his identity -- said it was clear the woman was part of a "mafia-style ring," where she was getting a kickback from the store for funneling bogus food stamp deals to them.I assume the woman would then "refund" him like $60, taking $120 in a "sale" of one can of spam (which taxpayers pay for) and then giving the guy presenting the card half of that back in cash.
After leaving the store together, Shirley and his crew confronted the woman. "You're committing fraud. Food stamp fraud. It's against the law," Shirley told her. The woman took it in stride. "I know, yeah." She then started ratting other people out on the street who were apparently running the same scheme. Shirley then returned to the seafood market to ask why they were allowing the fraud to take place. While there, all hell broke loose on the sidewalks outside, with one of the security guards trading blows with a "homeless individual" -- which led to his gun falling out in a crowd of suspected fentanyl addicts. The security guy then started punching other guys around him when no one would return his gun. Once he was filled in as he was leaving the store, Shirley and the other members of his crew started running for safety. A homeless suspected drug addict tried to join their getaway, but he apparently couldn't keep up. "I'm on fenty, I can't run!" the man yelled as Shirley skirted off.
Nick shirley
@nickshirleyy 🚨 1 can of Spam for $120. Food stamps have become the new ATM for fraudsters as they partner with local businesses to commit the fraud as they trade SNAP cards like Pokémon cards on the streets. Across America food stamp fraud is happening everywhere. It has become a billion dollar fraudulent industry as taxpayers fund the $100 billion program. We caught a fraudster on the streets of Seattle as she attempted to buy a can of spam and sushi for $120 in a food stamp for cash exchange, it's a billion dollar fraudulent scheme stealing from the poor and hungry. This is a must watch and is happening everywhere. EXPOSE AND SHUT IT ALL DOWN.

Cause it's not just the direct fraud, but the whole ecosystem of administrators and NGOs that are funded because of the fraud.
And then the second and 3rd order, the businesses and such all funded all or mostly by the fraud.

I fully believe that 70% or more of every state and federal tax dollar collected in the last 20 years has ended up somewhere OTHER than its stated reason for spending. Sure, some office somewhere got a desk for a civil servant, and some constituent got a bag of food, and maybe a street sign was erected, but a TON of money was siphoned away into people's pockets who weren't mentioned at all in the bills that authorized the spending.

Years ago I volunteered at a church who provided "free" food to needy families.
The complaint we would get because they would call the church was "we don't want white people food."

Kinda of OT, but there were no complaints from one of my former roommates who worked full-time and made enough money to buy his own food but knew where to score free canned goods, Kraft macaroni, etc. He'd come in grinning with bags of free groceries once a week.

You can't win because these EBT cards were a form of privatization, like not having "government cheese" like they used to, because it the cost goes up 10x if the government makes anything.
But the reality is just handing people credit cards is not "feeding" the poor, it's just another form of welfare.
And now you have big food corporations fighting to keep EBT dollars flowing.
And you can't just hand it to the states to manage because big blue states brag about the fraud and get their cut.
You just have to end these programs.

A century ago, charity was local, provided by churches and local groups. Not only did those groups see to it that the need was genuine, most people then would have preferred to die rather than accept it.

This is why I've been selective about my Christmas giving. I pick the kids whose parents are in jail, so they are getting fostered. The kids also have to not be illegal (yes, there are programs that do not include illegals). I figure no matter how well off they might be in foster care, it still helps to get a little something from someone else.
I also refuse to do the gift card requests. That's just another form of resale by parents for drugs/alcohol/bad habits in most cases with nothing going to the kids.

Are you kidding? this is the easiest crime in the world to stop
- Put bounty on convictions.
- Use tracking of people, and what cards they get, and what they spend
- use tracking of purchases.
require biometric id for all purchases with snap
- deport any non-naturally born involved
- CLAW BACK from stores treble damages of any fraud found
There are a hundred tools that can be used, but the government doesn't give a shit because it is not their money, and local governments see it as a revenue source. They are all in a competition to steal the most from the feds so they can stay "ahead".

Problem with that approach is the majority of states do not want to catch these people. And yes that includes some red states like Kentucky.
If you aren't busy look up the food stamp Kentucky pop train, it was/is a huge ebt scam. People go to walmart when the ebt cards get loaded and buy up every case of soda that they can. Then they drive to lexington or frankfort and sell that soda to a big buyer for 50 cents on the dollar for cash.
At the first of the month walmart would shove pallets of cokes to the front of the store to help these customers. Everyone knows it is going on, the fed says it is a state problem and the state says it is a fed problem.

Another scam is free school lunches. The whole school gets free lunch now, no matter the income of the parents/families. So a lot of these low income families kids get breakfast/lunch 5 days a week. They only have to supply food weekends and evenings. But that's too much for them, as they have internet, cigarettes, 3 cell phones, multiple cars, and government subsidized rent. Some schools actually pack food for the kids to take home on the weekends.

The bums sell the illegals the food stamps for cash like 30-50% of its actual value for food.
The illegals go use the food stamps at full value to buy entire sections of things like sodas or meat.
They take them to their own stores or stands and sell them at a markup.
The bums get drug money. The grocery stores get paid by the government. The illegals get supplies for their unregistered stands and carts and make huge profit.

Jihadi Zohran Mamdani: I'd Like to "Grieve" the 1,100+ Victims of the October 7 Hamas Attacks. That Out of the Way (In Just Three Sentences), Let Me Now Explain Why Hamas Was Right to Massacre Jews and They Brought It On Themselves.
Oh no he didn't, you might be thinking.
But Oh yes he did:Mayor Zohran Kwame MamdaniNote his justification of Hamas terror murders, kidnapping, and rapes is much more detailed and particularized than his brief, begrudging "Some People Did Some Things" blow-off of October 7. Do you want the US to support full ethnic cleansing of the "Palestinian" territories? Because this is how you get the US to support full ethnic cleansing of the "Palestinian" territories. And if you keep on justifying your cult's constant terrorism, you might see worse than that. Keep it up. Keep telling us exactly what you really believe, and what you really have in store for us kafirs once you wipe the Jews off the map.
@NYCMayor
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians--including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them -- all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

Republican Mike Rogers predicts that he'll win 50% of the state's Jewish voters.
Black and Jewish leaders are warning that they and many in their communities need more outreach. Multiple people relayed to CNN conversations they've had with El-Sayed in which he's asked for their support but also noted that he can make up the votes he loses in their communities elsewhere. ... "I'm not the Democrat the Democrats want, but I am the Democrat that Democrats have. And I am decidedly not a Republican. But this is what I'll tell you: I am a Democrat that Michiganders want," El-Sayed told CNN outside the food truck. El-Sayed says he's been pressured to modulate his positions since he beat the more moderate Stevens in the August primary, though he insists he will not. But he talks less about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which spent $33 million through its super PAC trying to defeat him, and sticks more to frustration over high prices for ground beef, gas and healthcare. El-Sayed has quietly made one concession: He distanced himself from Hasan Piker after campaigning through the end of the primary with the streamer, who's said that Jews who keep supporting Israel should worry about their safety and that America is "pound for pound" worse than Al-Qaeda. El-Sayed recently called Piker and warned his rhetoric was costing El-Sayed votes, asking him to stop, according to two people El-Sayed told about the conversation. Piker did not respond to requests for comment.
Don't worry: "Western" "elites" will keep telling you that Muslims don't mean what they keep on saying. The Bee:

100%. I don't know if the offer was actually made, but it's clear that Sliwa was in the race just for the grifting. Pure greed and selfishness. He had zero.point.zero chance of winning.

In all honesty, if I was the leader of a country that was invaded by the country/territory/whatever next door on a murder, torture, rape expedition directed toward babies, children, and women and civilians in general.
I would do everything in my power to scour the land of those a-holes, destroy everything they have , then push them all out and take the land over.
I'm still surprised the Israelis didn't do that. The palestinians have conclusively proven that they can't be their neighbors at all.
My special contempt goes to them then whining about the effects of the war that they themselves started. It's almost incomprehensible except as demonic animal aggression. That islam is some religion, huh?

NEW: I'm told by federal sources that the parents of the 18-year-old man arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting an ISIS inspired mass shooting at Minnesota’s Mall of America are both Somali nationals who first flew into New York in 2000 and were later naturalized into U.S. citizens. Mom in 2010, dad in 2017. It's unclear how they initially came in (visa, refugee, etc).
The suspect, Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, was born in the US in 2008 before his parents were naturalized, and he received his US citizenship as a result of birthright citizenship.
DOJ says Mohamud's parents refused to speak with the FBI when they tried to make contact with the family last year when there were initial indications of potential radicalization.

Oct 7 was 3 years ago now, Israels genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is ongoing to this day. If you're sour about mamdani pointing that out then go suck a lemon.
Truth to Republicans is like holy water to a vampire. Remember when Biden said bad things about Domestic terrorists, they raised holy hell and accused him of hating white people.
Americas mayor is right, Israel is committing genocide and being protected by both republicans and democrats.
If you want an actual solution, the both sides bad shit needs to go because it keeps the country from giving the clearly better party consistent power to be able to do something about this.
Throwing in a republican every few cycles pushes us so far back from any kind of resolution as we're seeing with Trump + a fully republican federal government right now.

We need to amend the constitution to provide a mechanism by which the people in the unaffected portion of a state could vote to remand a portion of the state back to territorial status and ineligible for statehood on their own.
For example the people of NYS outside of NYC vote to kick out NYC.

The truth is many in the Middle East don't want the Palestinian issue solved. Arafat sure as hell didn't. He was given multiple options for a Palestinian territory and turned them all down while stealing billions in aid money from the Palestinian people.
No arab country will take in Palestinians, even Jordan stopped. They like having the conflict since they can blame everything on Israel. This stupid farce has been going on forever. Until Palis stop coddling terrorists and take responsibility for their own lives this will just go on and on.

. . . and the Nazis inflated the Dresden casualty numbers by a factor of ten for propaganda purposes, then after the war the Soviets continued to echo the Nazi inflated numbers, to claim that the US and Britain were war criminals. You can still find the inflated numbers in a lot of references - 350,000 dead vs the reality of 28,000 - 32,000 dead.

Totally-Normal Rompin'-Stompin' Heterosexual James Talarico Mysteriously Vanishes for 11 Days As Campaign Comes to Climax
Mysteriously disappearing is totally a male thing to do and not something that Judy Garland would do on a pill-bender.
Joseph Chalfant at Townhall:With just 28 days remaining until he faces off against Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico is nowhere to be found. Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance occurring on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a "shithole" and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.I don't want to spread any WITHOUT EVIDENCE theories. And like Candace Owens, I am not a medical doctor. That said -- I think it's obvious that this is AIDS-related bipolar disorder. He's got "the AIDS crazies." Speaking of people missing from the campaign trail -- for some reason, Joe Biden, the Healthiest and Most Vital Man in the Whole of Christendom, is skipping out on campaigning for his fellow socialist civilization-razers.
Advertisement On Wednesday, September 30 Talarico was slated to speak with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley, but instead joined virtually from a hotel because "his staff says he's ill and was unable to travel." During the appearance, Talarico claimed that he was forced to seek care at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, but social media users have disputed the timeline offered by the candidate. Then, on Friday, October 2, the Talarico campaign chose to recycle footage from a February 22 rally before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current. Next, his campaign cancelled an event slated for October 5 with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium. The campaign has offered no explanation as to why the event was suddenly canned.
Former President Joe Biden has been largely absent from the campaign trail as Democrats fight to win back House and Senate majorities in November, even as former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris step up efforts to boost the party's candidates. Biden, 83, has kept a limited public schedule while battling advanced, metastatic prostate cancer. He has endorsed candidates and is helping Democrats raise money, according to a source in Biden's political circle. But the former president has made few political appearances this year. The contrast is increasingly visible with four weeks to go until Election Day. Obama is cutting ads for Senate and gubernatorial candidates, helping the party fundraise and preparing to hit the trail during the closing stretch of the midterm campaign. Harris, the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee, is also campaigning across key battleground states, including a recent stop in Michigan with Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Biden has appeared at just a handful of political events this year. He spoke in February at a reception honoring his 2020 South Carolina primary victory, which propelled him toward the Democratic nomination and eventually the presidency. In June, he addressed a Maryland Democratic Party event.One of the two statements below is true, and one is false. Can You find the true statement?
Longtime Democratic strategist Michael Ceraso told Fox News Digital that some in the party's elite and fundraising class are concerned that "if Biden were to be pushed out there in any sort of way for virtual or in-person opportunities, he could be a liability." Veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona had a different take, telling Fox News Digital, "There are still a ton of Americans who love Joe Biden."Talarico's partner in weirding everyone out, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, denies that he's a dual citizen of Egypt. One problem with that -- he openly bragged about being a dual citizen on videotape.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told a Detroit audience in 2016 that he has "dual citizenship" in the United States and Egypt, according to previously unreported video. It's the second time he's been documented making the claim, even though his campaign now claims he was never a dual citizen. El-Sayed made the remark about his dual citizenship onstage at a GlobeMed conference in Detroit, where the far-left Democrat served as the city's health director at the time. "I carry dual citizenship, and I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern," said El-Sayed, whose parents emigrated from Egypt to the Detroit area in 1978. El-Sayed went on to tell a story, one he still tells on the campaign trail a decade later, that he was questioned by Egyptian police during one of those summer visits for publicly cursing Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president at the time. The newly revealed 2016 video marks at least the second time El-Sayed has publicly claimed to have Egyptian status. His academic résumé stated in 2014 that he was a citizen of the United States and Egypt, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported. El-Sayed's campaign told the Free Beacon, which reported in January on the dual citizenship claim made on his résumé, that El-Sayed was mistaken about his citizenship status.Uh huh.
On Sept 30th, Talarico called in and told a group that he was feeling bad and went to urgent care in Dallas the night before
BUT , it seems he was at fundraiser in NYC @ 5:30 the evening before... Is it really possible to go from NYC fundraiser to a Dallas urgent care in a few hours?— ATX data (@data_atx) October 6, 2026

I have no idea how good Paxton is on the stage.
But the little shitcreep would get buttfucked by an autistic 11 year old girl.
He can't even respond coherently to a softball question at a campaign event. He gets all flustered and nervous and starts babbling, like instead of snorting the K off the fratbro's dick, he snorted the dick off the K.
I assume Paxton would absolutely murder him in a debate. Which is why I think he's ducking the public and trying to run out the clock.

Posted by: Archimedes at October 07, 2026 02:38 PM (Riz8t)
The reason is because he was a drunk and often said stupid things. He would often say quips and they usually had nothing to do with the previous story, so I think most people just didn't make the connection to the story about the girl and his quip. (at least, my family did not notice any reaction. Maybe there was one but it was not shock.)
The next day though, when he was not on and they gave an apology, we had to think about what it was he said that they were even apologizing for.
You see, his real problem, and the reason everyone thought he was going to be gone soon anyway, is that he was a drunk. On some nights he would slur his words and stumble as he gave the weather report. It was kinda funny, but kinda sad. I still think that was why he got fired. Stupid quips were not that unusual on the news in those days. OK, that one was insensitive, but I think really people were just fed up with him being publicly drunk every night. Very sad story, that.

I've posted a couple of xeets about El-Sayed today.
A fight is brewing between El-Sayed's campaign and the black power centers in Michigan.
The black power centers are saying that El-Sayed is ignoring them.
El-Sayed's campaign is pretty much saying, "yup...we don't need you."
@IAPolls2022
CNN: Abdul El-Sayed says he’ll win Michigan by 7 points. Leading state Democrats privately aren’t sure he’ll win at all — and Black and Jewish leaders say his campaign has told them he can make up the votes he loses in their communities elsewhere.

There are two major examples this year of preferred candidates of the black electorate (Crockett in TX and Stevens in MI) getting shafted for other representatives of other parts of the coalition (prog whites in the first and Arab immigrants in the second).
The lesson that will be learned is: Black people were robbed and would have won both races and they should run the party.
Other factions will fight it, but holy shit will the black community believe that they don't need to give any quarter to whitie or ragheads in the near future.

Nah, they know the ship is sinking and are looking to set up excuses. That's why the black groups are making this so public. If they really wanted a seat at the table, you do that privately.
Same thing is going on in TX with Talacreepo and Rachet, only there it's even more open that the black groups are blaming the inevitable loss on dissing them.

It's not like turnout can decrease in response to this sort of thing.
It's not like there is a long history of blacks doing this when their group preference loses the primary.
No one is arguing that blacks are going to turn Republican this election. You're setting up a strawman.
What will happen, and what we're already seeing happen at the precinct level of early voting, is that black turnout is crashing well below levels of whiter precincts that tend to vote Democrat. Blacks are checking out already.
But, your note about "blacks will vote 90%" is noted, even though no one asserted anything asserting that it wouldn't be like that.

90% of blacks who show up to vote will vote for the Hamas lover. That's true. But it's all a question of turnout. Blacks clearly don't like the guy and a statistically meaningful percentage will stay home or otherwise not vote. That's huge.
Same thing will happen in TX with the white twink creep, except I think on an even bigger scale. Because in TX, blacks think -- with reason -- that the white Democrap powerbrokers fucked over their preferred black candidate.

Historically, black turnout was 55% or less. Often, IIRC, in the 45% range.
Obama had it up to 65%.
And look "unskew the polls" and all that--sure the polls could be right and blacks and the youth will turn out at Obama levels.

They're below their rate from the 2022 election in early voting in Ohio.
About 7.4%.
And the first day of in person early voting was yesterday, and it was...disappointing. Blue enclaves are down much more than the rest of the red state.
Surely, they'll come out on election day, right? Election day is the strongest day for Democrats to vote in recent history, right?

Turnout for Dems is going to be at 2022 level or lower. Possibly even 2014 and that makes it difficult for Dems in crucial House races in places like Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Michigan. If turnout drops, it will have downballot effects on Dems as GOP seems to be turning out at a bit over typical midterm levels so far.

AfD Wins Speakership of Regional Government in Saxony-Anhalt; Socialist Open Borders Spanish PM Calls for New Elections
The actual vote in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections happened weeks ago. It was covered here. AfD won, but were three seats shy of gaining majority control of the regional parliament. As usual, the so-called "right-leaning" parties would join with socialists and communists to keep the AfD from ever exercising political power.
However, there was a far-left party which was willing to negotiate with AfD. The left-wing party is pro-Russia and had common ground with the AfD on this point. The deal was struck -- AfD will control the regional government. They secured additional votes beyond those from the far-left party. AfD leader Alice Weidel announced the news:Alice Weidel
@Alice_Weidel Oct 6 Translated from German Congratulations to Tobias Rausch (AfD), the newly elected President of the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt – and the first AfD Landtag President in the history of our party. Rausch received 48 votes -- and thus 9 more than the AfD parliamentary group has members. A great success!
The socialist Spanish PM who amnestied at least 500,000 illegal aliens and probably 1,000,000, Pedro "Dirty" Sanchez, has called for new elections. This is because his political position is weak and he wants a fresh mandate of support.
PeterSweden
@PeterSweden7 Oct 5 Marine Le Pen is LEADING the polls to be next French President. The right is LEADING the polls to win the upcoming Spanish election. The AfD party has seen massive success in recent regional German elections. The Freedom Party in Austria lead the polls at around 40% The right wing/Libertarian FrP party of Norway has a massive lead with 35% support in latest poll.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Monday called a snap election for Nov. 29, a vote that could signal the demise of the EU's last major Socialist government and remove one of Europe's chief critics of U.S. President Donald Trump from the political front line. Already weakened by the corruption cases battering his Socialist Party, Sánchez took a further knock this summer when he faced fierce blowback over his handling of the ongoing migrant crisis in the North African exclave of Ceuta. But the bitter topic of unaffordable housing -- something that tops the list of voters' concerns in Spain and which has sparked nationwide protests -- has finally prompted Sánchez to call an early election in an apparent bid to seize a campaign battleground he believes could work to his advantage.But he's unlikely to get that. Political oddsmakers said he was 56% likely to be booted out of power -- and that was before he actually called for snap elections.
Visegrád 24Now Polymarket says he's 70% likely to lose:
@visegrad24 BREAKING: Snap elections in Spain this year and PM Sanchez's fall from power is now likely according to Polymarket.com The likelihood has skyrocketed from just 12% a few days ago to 56% Sanchez will likely loose power to Vox and the PP party, that are expected to form a coalition government. ...
The related "next prime minister" market on Polymarket.com has Feijóo near 80% and Sánchez around 13%. Recent poll averages put PP near 33%, PSOE near 26%, and Vox near 18%, with PP+Vox seat projections often above the 176 seats needed for a majority coalition government. The ongoing Ceuta migration crisis and upcoming legal cases based on corruption charges against Sánchez's wife Begoña Gómez and his close allies make snap elections this year a better choice than waiting for the term's natural end next summer. Sanchez also believe that going to election on housing issues is much better campaign terrain for the left than mass-immigration and the invasion of Ceuta, which has greatly angered the Spanish public.
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh Oct 5 🚨 JUST IN: Socialist Spanish PM is likely to be OUSTED after his leftist government failed, and he called snap elections for Nov. 29 Center-right Feijóo's party has allied with populist Vox, and that could ENSURE Sanchez is no longer Prime Minister 70% chance the PP party -- center-right -- WINS, per Polymarket.com WAY BETTER THAN SOCIALISM. This party has worked with right-wing VOX, which I hope eventually wins NATIONAL control MAKE IT HAPPEN, SPAIN! Trending in the right direction!
An AfD politician tells the story of a 14 year old girl who was gangraped by 3 migrants
The court said she didn't fight back, because she was frozen with fear, so it mustn't be rape and let them go When she begins to tell the story the leftist politicians in the room heckle her 😳 They literally have zero compassion for victims of migrants They're the scum of the earth

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Spaniards have to decide what role you want to play in this era, and what role you want Spain to play. Whether you want to join that far-right wave that brings regression wherever it governs, or whether you want Spain to continue being a bastion of openness, social justice and environmental responsibility. Whether you want our country to go backwards or continue moving forward; whether you prefer a government that works in the interests of the social majority, or whether you prefer to hand the reins of the country to a far-right coalition that has proposed nothing and whose only objective is to repeal and cut the rights and freedoms we have built over the last eight years in order to benefit the same people as always — a privileged minority.— Clash Report (@clashreport) October 5, 2026
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
We have worked to build a better world for our compatriots and for the rest of humanity, supporting Ukraine, the European Union and the United Nations in their darkest moments, denouncing genocidal leaders when others remained silent, fighting tyrants, tech oligarchs and speculators who want to destroy the future of our sons and daughters in order to enlarge their own pockets.— Clash Report (@clashreport) October 5, 2026

He's also deeply corrupt, people in his inner circle (including his wife) have been arrested for it, and the country is pissy with him for a wide variety of reasons.
Also, betting sites are dominated by leftists who daydream a leftist utopia with their money, so 70% odds probably means 95%.

The AfD party has seen massive success in recent regional German elections.
The Freedom Party in Austria lead the polls at around 40%
The right wing/Libertarian FrP party of Norway has a massive lead with 35% support in latest poll.

Le Pen is still a far leftist on every other issue and is talking about lowering the retirement age as a response to France's financial issues.
She may (may) deport a bunch of people, but she'll still run France into the ground. Just in another way.

The left loves rape when it serves their purposes. Same as in the USA.
The screeching harridans finger-popping each other to vilify the Cornell 7 over very dubious (at best) rape allegations? They are the exact same people who most support open borders, soft-on-crime policies, and letting rapists and murders roam the streets.
Our laws criminalizing rape no longer have much if anything to do with protecting women from rape or violence. Leftists don't care if women are raped. These laws are used to further leftwing ambitions and punish political enemies.
If Jane Doe went to a Somali frat and the exact same thing happened, it would be her that was vilified for not being sufficiently accepting of foreign criminals' sexual needs.

Recent Lotus Eaters had two Spaniards on who seemed to know, and they said Pedro Pascal(sp?) amnestied almost 1.5 million, which was way higher than estimates, and then they get to bring in family, so the number will be in the millions from this recent act of treason.

One guy did post an argument and I have seen this before, "socialism can only work when it controls ALL the means of production"

Brown people can't be antisemitic because they are the oppressed and Israelis, Zionists, and Jews are white which means that they are oppressors.
So, brown antisemitism is good because it's the oppressed fighting their oppressors.

I was about no. 7 in the line up and just sat back and watched and listened to the shit-spewing going on between aggrieved parties -- those looking to put in for a day trip arguing with those wishing to pull out as to whose turn it was, as well as a one dude attempting to cut in the pull-out line. ("I HAVE TO BE AT WORK SOON!")
Also, it was a quite breezy so watching those with not much experience in trailering a boat in wind/current was rather amusing, especially the one presumably husband-and-wife couple yelling at each other complete with very, er, flowerful language.

And he's doing it at the BIRTHPLACE of the West.

"The imagination of the western world. GENERATIONS of our statesmen...have looked to [Acropolis] with wonder, with awe."
"2.5 centuries after the founding of the American Republic...I stand here today as a Secretary of State of that republic...I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space can ever extinguish."
"The history of America, of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government."

The actress, 32, cites 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. She lists the date of separation as July 28, 2025, per the documents filed on Tuesday.
They married on October 10, 2016 and welcomed daughter Isabel, now four, in 2022.
Mr. LaBeouf recently solidified those desirable 'bad boy' credentials after being arrested in February following a drunken bar brawl in New Orleans.

I forgot Sally was just a Cat 2, I thought it was bigger. I guess because it was so slow and just hung over us. This is fast, but looks like we get the east side of the storm, which is no bueno.

Minnesota Under Siege By, Get This, Somali Gangsters
See video here of tribal gangsters brazenly shooting automatic weapons in the suburbs. They're not running. They know no one will come to chase them.
I can't believe it. Of all the things I can't believe this is the most can't believiest. The Somali gangbangers shot up a couple of towns right after a community meeting to air grievances about the Somali gangsters shooting up towns. It's completely unbelievable.
Gunfire in Eden Prairie, Bloomington follows Edina 'gun violence' community meeting Sources told Alpha News that the shootings in Eden Prairie and Bloomington were also related to Somali gangs.I am nonplussed. I have shed of all of my plusses.
The deuce you say. The absolute deuce!
A community meeting was held at Edina City Hall Monday night to discuss recent violent incidents in the city and surrounding areas. The recent incidents include shots fired on the campus of Edina's Our Lady of Grace church and school late last month, which the police chief later said involved Somalis, and a double shooting at Eden Prairie High School's homecoming game this past Friday, which that city's police chief later confirmed was Somali gang violence.
For serious? This doesn't sound like the invaders from a warlord-controlled degenerate third-world hellscape of constant tribal warfare that I know.
Hours after the meeting ended, Eden Prairie police confirmed that shots had been fired in yet another incident in their city Monday night. ... Additionally, police are investigating a shooting in Bloomington that took place early Tuesday. Sources say that shooting was also related to Somali gangs.
Well that's the most important thing, worrying that the people causing the gangster shooting epidemic will be blamed for causing the gangster shooting epidemic. Let's not solve the gangster shooting epidemic, let's put all of our effort into making sure the people causing the gangster shooting epidemic don't feel bad about causing the gangster shooting epidemic. One of the police chiefs from that video I linked at the top of the post stated that the Somali Gangster Shooting Epidemic isn't about poverty -- he said the "youths" shooting up neighborhoods live in "$3500 a month apartments" or in homes "worth more than my mortgage." It's also not about money or drugs, surprisingly. He says it's just about "social media beefs." Another way to say this is that foreign invaders come from a place where it expected and valorized that "youths" will form violent gangs to war with other violent gangs over nothing except position and advantage and reputation, and that Minnesota has imported the Somali warlord-and-gang problem. What's amazing is that Doctors and Engineers would descend into such wanton violence.
Monday's community meeting in Edina, framed as a "community conversation addressing gun violence," began with a long prologue from Mayor Jim Hovland acknowledging the "Somali youth gang-type problem" in the metro area. Hovland followed up with comments about a potential "community cohesion problem" and urged people to avoid associating the violence with other people with Somali identity. "Somali families and other residents are understandably concerned" over being stereotyped or targeted, Hovland said.
... Members of the public lined up to comment and were given about three minutes each to speak. Several Somali or East African commenters said they lived in the area and were also concerned about the violence. However, some wondered why officials were using the word "Somali" in connection to the gang violence and asked officials stop using the word Somali. They also asked for more investment in Somali youth through programs and funding as a potential curb to the violence.Oh, the Somalis want state "funding." Again, I am open-mouthed in disbelief as if smacked in the face with a frozen carp.
That's as racist as it is true. Local police want to take more aggressive measures-- but the Somali Criminal Protection Racket that is the Hennepin County government refuses.
Other commenters included a married couple who are Edina school bus drivers, one of whom stated he believed the violence was due to "spillover" from Minneapolis crime, which was "brought on by the sanctuary policies of Gov. [Tim] Walz."
This problem, like so many others, begins with an arrogant, ideological fanatical woke white lesbian with a body type resembling a beer truck.
*Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is backing calls for a regional task force to address Somali gang violence in the Twin Cities. *Fletcher criticized Hennepin County leaders as he pushed for a stronger regional response to recent gang violence. * Fletcher said law enforcement needs to arrest more suspected gang members to send a message that shootings and violence will not be tolerated. ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher threw his support behind a regional task force to tackle Somali gang violence while blaming weak prosecution of crime for letting the issue fester, specifically calling out Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. ... Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is calling for a regional law enforcement task force to address what he describes as Somali gang violence across the Twin Cities. ... The sheriff made it clear that the individuals responsible for the violence are a small fraction of the greater Somali community. "I've told you the number is about 300," said Sheriff Fletcher. "We sent 250 letters to known gang members for the state fair. That number still is a good number, but we need to arrest a big chunk of these kids and send a message to the groups as a whole that we're not going to tolerate this type of shooting and violence. And I do want to I want to mention this number again, because this gets really politically contorted. We're talking about a small number of 300 children. There are over 100,000 Somalis living in Minnesota." Fletcher explained that arresting even just 50 of the estimated 300 gang members would "dramatically" cut crime. He says he'd like to see 25 of those 50 face federal RICO charges. "We have to be honest, right?" added Ramsey County Deputy Jama Shine. "We do have a gang problem. We do have a Somali gang problem, and we know who these kids are. We know their parents. We know where they live. They're very mobile, and they're causing a lot of problems in the community. I have to say this, the Somali community are not the first immigrants that dealt with gang issues, right? If you look at the 80s and the 90s. The Hmong community, Asian communities, and the only way to overcome it is to address the issue."
... The sheriff also called out Hennepin County leaders for not taking enough action to confront the gang violence. Specifically, he mentioned Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt. For Moriarty, the sheriff questioned whether the county attorney's policy on young offenders was effective.
... "I don't actually think it would take any money myself," said Sheriff Fletcher. "It takes commitment. You know, the commitment we made in Ramsey County to retask some of these bodies. Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, we need Dawanna Witt to commit to this project. It cannot succeed over there if the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office doesn't put bodies into this mix, because they're the biggest agency over there." ... Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt fired back at Sheriff Fletcher's comments during a press conference Tuesday afternoon in Bloomington. Witt was speaking about a shooting early that morning that police believe was also connected to gang violence. Sheriff Witt said her department had already repurposed two task forces to focus on gangs that were working to provide information to regional partners. Speaking Tuesday, she told Fletcher to mind his own business. "He just has a habit of talking about stuff he don't know nothing about," Sheriff Witt said. "He never called me and asked me that question. So just because he doesn't know doesn't mean it's not happening. So he shouldn't mind Ramsey County business."

@RichMcHugh 12h EXCLUSIVE: 'We need honesty' There have been 3 Somali gang shootings in the past 4 days in Minnesota. Elected officials say there are no Somali gangs here, and yet, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher says there have been a hundred shootings and 14 Somali gang-related deaths in the last year. He's created a unit devoted to Somali gangs, and brought us inside. Several of his deputies are Somali. Deputy Jama Shine tells me "I'm from the community. This case doesn't represent me. It doesn't represent our community. We need it to stop, and we need to hold them accountable." Sheriff Fletcher @RamseySheriff likens the situation to what's happened in Europe: "we better work our butts off right now to fix this problem in the Somali community, or we are going to launch into a 200-year legacy that won't be unlike what some of the European countries are seeing."

WATCH: Edina residents speak out amid recent Somali gang violence
"I don't go shopping at the Lunds to get shot at. I don't go to workout to get shot at.

KARE 11 (NBC Minneapolis) runs segment about recent Somali gang violence. The main worry?
"Stereotyping." Because, of course. The story is framed by woke host Jana Shortal as a conversation on "gun violence." As always. The segment features a (presumably) Somali man at Edina city meeting: "Gangs are gangs. So please, let's not mention the Somali name." Sheriff’s Deputy counters: "Just being honest doesn't mean we're targeting or stereotyping our community." Reporter makes sure to hammer the Somali victim angle: "But that hasn't stopped some from stereotyping..."

Polling (spit) shows the senate race and governor's race close.
MN isn't actually that blue of a state. Kamala only won it by 3 and the legislature is almost even between the parties (Dems have a small majority).
A comparable state on the other side would be NC. But, Democrats treat NC as a fait accompli and theirs already in the senate race, and no one thought MN was worth fighting until a surprise series of polls showed the senate race close in the last few weeks.

I suspect it is about money and drugs. It always is. That's how every gang that ever existed functions. The Somali cockroaches are no different.
Sure, there are intermural hatreds and tribal beefs going back to an ancient relative who raped a rival's goat without permission. But it's all against the backdrop of money and drugs (and other criminal activity). Just like any other gang.
Crips and Bloods were all American blacks and endlessly beefed and murdered each other. No Somali, Muslim, or immigrant motivations are needed.

Shit concept, shit script, shit direction, shit CGI overkill, shit editing/continuity, shit wokeness, shit rip-off of GotG and Star Wars, and mostly shit casting. Not even Jason Mamoa could save this dumpster fire. The movie richly deserved its $150 million loss.
All this being said, the problem wasn't really casting the twit retard as SG. She actually wasn't that bad, and can act. The problem was the entire conception of SG for the movie. Who wants to watch a movie about a drunk, mumbling, depressed, mentally ill, semi-suicidal superhero? She's Supergirl, for fuck's sake.
I doubt anyone cares about SG as a stand-alone movie anyway. But whatever chance they had to make a SG movie that people might actually like, they bent it over and fucked it up the ass with the train wreck they made.

Yea, as part of a group of superheroes. Maybe.
Nobody cares enough about SG to see her in her own movie, and especially not when she's just a whiny, needy, woke female version of SM.
It's like they made an WNBA version of SG, but forgot that nobody watches the WNBA.
I strongly suspect the cameos of SM and the role of Lobo were added (or expanded) because the filmmakers realized at some point that nobody cares about SG in her own movie.

I think Crockett losing in TX was a serious blow to black turnout nationwide.
She had a national profile. She was the hope to win Texas. She was authentic and real. The black electorate knows on some level that they're passing their peak of power within the Democrat Party, and the shady way that the establishment pushed Talarico instead of her just settled into the black consciousness.
No, the Democrat Party is not on the black man's side, and yes, black people are just tokens to the Party.
Depressed turnout in black districts in Ohio which doesn't have a big racial element to any of its statewide races this year can be explained more than one way, but I think the Crockett loss is part of it.

Jacob Frey ran against a Somali last time for mayor of Minneapolis, and used the brilliant tactic of exploiting clan divisions to get a lot of Somalis to vote for him and not the Somali.
Ilhan Omar belonged to the same clan as the mayoral candidate, and furiously announced that Somalis who voted for Frey should all be deported.

It's like they made an WNBA version of SG, but forgot that nobody watches the WNBA.
I strongly suspect the cameos of SM and the role of Lobo were added (or expanded) because the filmmakers realized at some point that nobody cares about SG in her own movie.

Nah. This Supergirl is a slutty party girl. Like it or hate it, it's different.
They wasted Lobo but they didn't water him down. He cuts a guy head off and stuffs it in a bag.

Somalis are never portrayed as affluent. Somalis are never portrayed as doing anything that would cause them to become affluent. Affluence is obtained by work and intelligence. Neither of these attributed to Somalis.

She had a national profile. She was the hope to win Texas. She was authentic and real. The black electorate knows on some level that they're passing their peak of power within the Democrat Party, and the shady way that the establishment pushed Talarico instead of her just settled into the black consciousness.
No, the Democrat Party is not on the black man's side, and yes, black people are just tokens to the Party.
Depressed turnout in black districts in Ohio which doesn't have a big racial element to any of its statewide races this year can be explained more than one way, but I think the Crockett loss is part of it.
---------------------------
I agree. There's still an element of local politics coming in though. The entire Dem establishment in MI is behind Abdul and I'd be really surprised if they forgot to get the blacks their money to produce the votes. You just don't overlook that in a functioning party, so I'm looking for a signal.
In TX the Dem party is really non-existent so I think the Crocket debacle is real.

Kamala is stupid and did make the Walz choice herself. She's also thin-skinned, blames white people for all of her problems, and will win the nomination on the backs of the black electorate.
Yes, Crockett is a viable option for Kamala well beyond reasons of, "Democrats out of power and on the defensive regarding election fortification for 4 years have the election more sewn up than in 2024 when they owned the DOJ and were coming off of getting away with 2020."

The reality is that the American black gangbangers probably joined with the Somali black gangbagers, as the latter gained power. The Somali blacks may even have started as members of American gangs and eventually took them over.
The history of organized crime and street gangs is ... complicated. At a time when the black gangs were at war with the hispanic gangs, you had members of those gangs crossing over to the other side. Blacks and hispanics forming new, integrated gangs.
And long before that, when the Italian and Jewish mafias were warring for power, you had a lot of Jews in Italian gangs and vice versa.
Gangs lead to strange bedfellows.

Yup. Once a week when I was a kid. Also Civil Defense air raid shelters, prominently marked, here and there. AM radios had the CD (Conelrad) frequencies marked on the dials .

I guess if the entire firing squad all tried to hit him in the groin, they would probably get in trouble.

Ok
Skinnies is a fine alternative.
A friend from Minnesota, who told me about these attacks the other day, called them the "light-bulb-looking community".

'Look on my fucks, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
>Skinnies is a fine alternative
Heads up and on the bounce, soldier.

From: Gen. D Eisenhower
To: All Allied Officers and Troops
Tomorrow we shall enter into a great endeavor to do something against people who did something.
This is 1944. We are beyond stereotyping groups of people because of the actions of a tiny minority who lack resourcesand caring guidance to integrate into civil society. These few have unjustly been ostracized because our institutions have failed them.
Our great endeavor tomorrow will be a direct application of restorative justice so these oppressed few can get back onto the onramp of civilized society.
Our great goal is to love the sinner but to kindly reject their sometimes hurtful behavior and lead them back into the warm bosom of acceptance and welcoming diversity.
May God, Allah, the Great Spirit, Zeus, animal spirits, and the rest be with us all.
