Confused Mentally-Stunted Sexual Assaulting Bigot Don Lemon: Stephen Colbert Was Fired for the Same Reason I Was -- Because Mediocre White Men Are Threatened by Pardiagm-Shifting Epochal Black Talents Such as Myself and Colbert
Oh man, I used to do this exact "I'm looking forward to not watching" joke with John Ekdahl. RIP.
"I'm here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke.... and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about"Speaking of John Ekdahl, he was fond of noting that NJ taxes property categorized as "farmland" and a much, much lower rate than residential property. So Man of the People Bruce Springsteen planted a few lines of alfalfa on his gigantic property in Rumson, NJ -- a beautiful town for the ultra-wealthy, and not farm country at all -- so he could claim his mansion was a "farm" and cheat the taxpayers. Jon Bon Jovi does the same. On to bitter DEI failure Don Lemon. Courtesy of John Sexton, the no-talent nobody narcissist goes full Me-Again Kelly and makes Stephen Colbert's well-justified firing all about shimself. He claims he was fired because The Mediocre White Men Who Control Everything were too afraid of the powerful, dangerous questions he was asking.
The networks didn't like me asking conservatives hard questions. CNN didn't like the mirror I was holding up every night. So they pushed me out. And I thought: if it happened to me it will happen to others. It will trickle down. Or up. Depending on how you look at it. Now it has trickled all the way to late night television.Sexton points out he was fired for repeated comments deemed by liberal women to be sexist, including declaring that no woman older than 40 could be "in her prime" and his snide and dismissive on-camera and off-camera behavior towards his two female cohosts. Sexton points out it was liberal women at CNN who demanded his firing. And of course, his terrible, terrible ratings made that an easy demand to meet. The no-talent DEI bigot who has been given undeserved promotion after undeserved promotion by white liberals who just get off on promoting unqualified DEI employees and then bragging about it to their liberal mistresses says that the white men he owes his living too were just afraid of black revolutionary intellectuals like himself and Stephen Colbert.
The world that produced The Late Show, the world of legacy media, cable news, and network television, has long had a problem nobody wanted to name out loud. It is a world that has been extraordinarily good to a very specific kind of person. White men who fail spectacularly and are promoted for it. White men who make catastrophic decisions and are handed bigger offices for it. White men who are visibly, demonstrably unqualified and are given more power anyway. I have watched it for thirty years. I have been managed by it. I have been undone by it. The executive producer who ran The Late Show for years eventually left. And somehow landed in my world. That same person, from that same television orbit, eventually became my boss at CNN. And fired me.Oh go rub your balls and stick your fingers in a server's face, Don. Though it has to be acknowledged that while liberals talk endlessly about DEI, they sure don't insist on DEI for their late-night clowns.

Why are 30-44 year olds supporting Cornyn? They probably have the most to lose from him staying.

Hey chowderhead, how about the freedom to have your own tv show and lose the network $40 million each and every year and still be employed? They gave him almost an extra 8 months to turn it around and he failed miserably because he sucks.

Here's the thing - Colbert COULD be funny, at least as a writer. For starters, he wrote The Ambiguously Gay Duo sketches on SNL and those were freakin' hilarious.
Problem is, he'd never write those today. That would be a huge no-no for the Woke Left. He sold his funny soul for a role as a propagandist.

I love the meme with Trump playing the violin and recorder! LOL
I know a liberal couple who are in a recorder group, which has amazed me for four decades. And when I think about it I laugh (no offense to morons in recorder groups...this couple, while nice, are a bit odd).
They write about this recorder group in their yearly Christmas letter as well as how many thousands of miles they ride on their bikes in different countries. They both have pacemakers so I consider this an achievement for all involved as I am boring.
I don't write Christmas letters but perhaps this is the year to start. It would go like this: January: don't remember. February: we need snow. March: I caught RSV from the baby. April: Easter. May: chy na cholera, unknown origin but suspect the baby. Possible recovery and trip to NOLA to see my mother with the many parts of insanity involved to get my sons and family there at the same time. Soaked ranunculus corms yesterday.
I will have to sadly miss this show I've never watched to begin with. Altho I do enjoy basking in liberal tears I'll still not watch. Huzzah.

Many years ago, the leftist twats started bitching about wealthy Yacht owners in the NE states. They managed to pass legislation to punish those bastards, among the new laws were a “Yacht Tax”.
Left unsaid in all this class envy, the wealthy Yacht owners were dependent on a veritable army of working class regular joe stiffs who are the people who actually build, maintain, and repair those expensive Yachts.
All of that support industry is pretty much extinct now, and thousands of good paying jobs along with it. They sure showed them!

>>So Man of the People Bruce Springsteen planted a few lines of alfalfa on his gigantic property in Rumson, NJ
It was worse, it was a "deer farm." **whatever that means**
From what I understand from my parents town, the acre the house was on is taxed as residential, but Springsteen owned something like 40 acres, and he called them a deer farm, and got taxed at low rate.
Honestly I have no problem with this as property taxes are just serfdom by another name. My problem with Springsteen is that he supports the policies that require high taxes.

First thoughts on Mandalorian movie.
It's a good solid movie, about 2 hours long, even after half an hour of new movie ads.
The story is fairly simple, but it seemed simpler at first.
The visuals and sounds are great in IMAX.
The planetscapes are cool. An early urban section gives you the Blade Runner vibes.
It's worth seeing.

Probably the water-cooler talk. When you work in an office you want to keep current with what's popular, like not watching Stephen Colbert. I could talk and talk with the boss about not watching Stephen Colbert all day. And then he'd see me in the hall and say "Hey did you not catch Stephen Colbert last night?" and I'd say "You know it!

Colbert described meeting Pope Francis with more than one hundred comedians, including Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien and Chris Rock in the Vatican in 2024.
“What really surprised me is that we’re by nature, comedians are iconoclasts, and I love shaking my fist at authority, and the pope came in and we all leapt to our feet and we screamed like he was the Beatles,” he said.

I think for another year until May 27 but I doubt ABC will renew his contract. Supposedly Iger told restless affiliates that Kimmel's show, while running at a loss, had additional tie in value for various other Disney properties.
Course, if Disney sells or spins off ABC with ESPN, and other TV properties, that might change.

Colbert: "Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature"
———
Back in the day, they were. Genuinely. Some of them were real asshats, but they were putting their neck on the line.
That hasn’t been true in 40 years probably. The “comedians” now are propaganda agents FOR the machine. You couldn’t be more authoritarian if you tried. I’m sure it pays the bills, but there is nothing stunning, courageous or brave about your full throated support of the machine.
Good try, though

Around here, the house is taxed at full rate. Only land with no other buildings on it classifies as farm land. Recently they even went over the aerial pics and if they could find any old unused shed, they taxed those acres at a higher rate.

Tucker Carlson Is Spiraling and Sperging Over The Crushing Loss of His Nazi Pal
John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte
@NolteNC May 20 Massie's biggest mistake was likely believing that social media is real life, that people like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones had managed to wrest enough influence from Trump that seeking their good opinion was the only constituency he needed to win over. Well, he and they lost by ten points. 'Influencers,' eh? As a great man once said, "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means."
Taqiyya Qatarlson rejects these explanations. For him, the failure of his Nazi agenda means that the Republican Party is dead, MAGA is dead, and America is a conquered nation controlled by evil Jews in Israel.
Sean Davis
@seanmdav Why did Massie lose tonight? Massie went from principled libertarian during COVID, to GOP leadership lapdog under McCarthy, to anti-Trump Epstein obsessive in 2025 after tweeting about that issue a whopping three (3) times in the decade prior. The nail in the coffin for him was voting against OBBB in 2025 because, according to Massie, it did too much to secure the border. Trump mercilessly trashed Massie in 2020--calling him a "disaster" for America and Kentucky and saying he should be thrown out of the GOP entirely--but Massie easily swatted that away and won 81-19, so you can't say he only lost because of Trump. He went toe-to-toe with Trump on COVID in 2020 and won overwhelmingly. Massie lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he said, to looking like a clout-chasing influencer who cared more about getting TV time with Democrats on an issue he clearly never cared about until five minutes ago than he did about representing his voters. We'll never know what caused the apparent personality change--maybe it was the death of his wife, maybe it was the McCarthy race followed by McCarthy's ouster, or maybe it was a desire for notoriety or media acclaim and a lucrative podcasting career outside of Congress--but the drastic change was undeniable, as was the seeming lack of interest in much of anything happening in Kentucky. Blame Trump, blame Israel, blame Epstein, blame the tragic death of a spouse, I don't care. But you cannot just wave away 2020 Massie going face-to-face with the Trump machine and winning in a rout only to get smoked six years later. Massie's voters didn't really change all that much, but he did, and they noticed.
Shadow of Ezra
@ShadowofEzra Tucker Carlson says the Republican Party is officially dead after it colluded with a foreign country to buy Thomas Massie's seat. He says it is immoral to support the current Republican Party because it supports the killing of children and is now against free speech. "It's the end of the Republican Party we had."
Video here. Because the faggot that this faggot supported lost, that means that "democracy is fake."
Marco FosterThis is what all the NeverTrumpers said as they flounced in 2015-2016. Taqiyya Qatarlson also claims the election was stolen by "mail in" ballots. He says he has no evidence of this, but invites the Nazi losers who watch him to do their own "sleuthing" and prove his conspiracy for him. This is Candace Owens' business model -- invent a fake and gay conspiracy theory, then tell her legions of "mommysleuths" to gather non-existent evidence to prove it.
@MarcoFoster_ Tucker Carlson: "This is the saddest moment in a long time. It’s not just the death of Thomas Massie's immediate political career. It's obviously the death of MAGA, whatever that was. but it’s also of course the end of the Republican party. Nobody supports this"
Tucker Carlson suggests that the election was stolen from Thomas Massie because of “mail-in ballots.”

People are pointing out he seemed to know what the term meant for 30 years as he's railed about Islamic terrorism since the first World Trade Center bombing in 1995. But now he says he doesn't even know what Islamic jihad meanx, suggesting it's a propaganda term invented by Perfidious Jews to con Christians.

Joel MowbrayThe Bee:
@joelmowbray 🚨 EXCLUSIVE -- Tucker Carlson's latest guest, @OwenBenjamin, is no ordinary Holocaust denier. Benjamin claims there's "zero evidence" Hitler ordered the Holocaust, which he labels a hoax. Further, he claimed that the Nazis RESCUED Jews by sending them to Auschwitz and other concentration camps only "because there's mass city evacuatuations because of [Allied] bombing." This clip from 2022 is representative of Benjamin's many other Holocaust-related rants. In short, Holocaust denial is central to his public persona, as part of an obsessive focus on Jews. Yet despite this, Tucker's brother Buckley yesterday praised Benjamin as a "great American Hero [and] Truth-teller." And Tucker didn't just interview him, but fawned that his guest "weaves sharp-witted satire with deep dives into the complexities of the human condition." But if you watch this clip -- which, again, is one of many similar rants -- one obvious question comes to mind: How could anyone view Benjamin as a "sharp-witted" analyst of "the complexities of the human condition"?

Ed has proportional number of ballots to Massie. About 10,000 to Massie's 8,000.
Ed won by about 10,000 votes.
Therefore, all of Ed's mail in ballots were fake because Massie would have won without them.

5 who have actually run in primaries that are finished have all lost.
There's also James Fishback in FL for governor, but he hasn't polled above 6%.
What if...Tucker has no real world influence and his views are predominently foreign?

And this is Tuq'r's favorite tactic now too. There are many, many things that Tuq'r Qarlson is suddenly ignorant about. When Piers Morgan stated that Israel was an "ally," Tuq'r objected "I don't even know what that means." Morgan explained he meant that Israel was a political ally of the United States, and Tuq'r again insisted "I don't even know what a political ally means.'
Tucker also professes to being completely befuddled by the concept of "cooking". "What are these 'stoves' and 'ovens' of which you speak", he asked. "I have no knowledge of them".

It must be really sad and pathetic to so obsess over Trump and/or Jews that you see them hiding behind every bush, making every bump in the night, casting every shadow you see in the corner of your eye, and being everywhere all the time.
"Hush, little baby, don't say a word. And never mind that noise you heard. It's just the Jew under your bed, in your closet, in your head ...."

One joke I do a lot when I want to sound "insane" is to put "every" other "word" in "quotes" to show that I'm "paranoid" about the simplest "words" and I think all "definitions" are "traps" created by the "Government" and "Jews."
That's what Tuq'r Qarlson is doing now, for real -- he is deeply suspicious of the most basic political language because he believes it's all a construction of Jews so he doesn't want to even acknowledge realities like "ally" or "hostile state" or "terror organization" or "islamic jihad."

He did it after he voted against the OBBB and knew that there was a serious chance he'd lose his primary with Trump personally promising to find a challenger who could win.
He went for clicks, a desperation move because his whole, "I voted against the OBBB because it spent too much on border enforcement" was no defense in the KY-04 electorate.

>>He literally contradicts himself every other sentence.
What's going on here is maintaining two contradictory realities in his mind. He has to protect his false reality by undermining the meaning of certain words, or denying certain facts. This is actually pretty common but TC is a great example to study because he is doing it so publicly and so blatantly.
When his brain detects a conflict, it resolves it by blurting out "I don't even know what that means"
He is really a fascinating case study in self delusion.

The other side is arguing he was a principled Republican that voted with MAGA 91% of the time.
Yeah, well, that's the same line the GOPe uses too. So vote for 9 post office renamings and then vote against MAGA on the debt ceiling or similiar and its all ok right?

Yeah, you’re a tool. Whose tool were you?

His primary is going on right now. I even hear pro-Graham ads on the radio (I live near the SC border).
And no one gives a shit. He's not a target.
Why is that?
Because he's actually a good politician who has his major issues but knows how to frame himself publicly so he's on the right side of his electorate.
That's how you be your own dickness and survive as a Republican in current day GOP politics. You publicly align with Trump and work behind the scenes for yourself.

A recent whistle blower was able to establish that Clinesmith has been "inaccurate" on more than 1 government report. In case, you need a reminder, he's the guy who reported that the CIA had disavowed working with Page, despite their answer that he was an asset.
And so, you see, it was "suspicious" that Page spent so much time and energy talking to Russians, and could be taken as a "Russian asset" because of this peculiar behavior. So the FICA application needed Clinesmith's Whoopsie flip-flop to establish "weirdness".
This is why I say in the real world, the IC had to invent something against Trump. However, the Trump accusers suggest to me that the Deep State had real dirt on Trump sitting in IC files for 4 years, and they never used it on him?!!!
Anybody who pushes Trump--and Trump ALONE--won't release the Epstein files and it's suspicious that Trump--and ONLY Trump--won't release files that weren't released the entire 4 years of a Democratic President, they've got to be full of shit. Or I need to hear why Dems didn't want Trump exposed, because it jeopardized too many other fellow pedophiles that the IC wanted to protect.

They are bought and paid for by anti-Israel (and anti-American) interests. I think it's as simple as that. They say what they are told to say. You can see it in how they all parrot the same talking points, every time. They are NPC drones as much as all the left are.

Does Tucker only have one stupid shirt? Is that part of his religion? I'll bet he has BO, too.
The one thing Massie gave me was the pinecone peen. I will never know why (and don't want to know as I have imagined some horror) but I think it is hilarious.
I ripped a few anti-semites this week and they have not refuted me. I was on a roll and was so dang polite two guys have not been back on another blog. I'm not totally sure what got into me, maybe post cholera potassium depletion, as I had stored some angst about it and the "influencers" and let 'er rip. With links for the retards.

Perhaps, but it's hard to square that with the fact that other "celebrities", e.g. CO and Me-Again, started goosestepping at almost the same time.

At one point, Lebanese were some of the best Christians...
Then... 1979 Iran happened and the got invaded.
By 1982, it was a sectarian bloodbath.
By 1984, an Islamic terrorist stronghold.

I don't think Massie lost because of Trump, although having Trump ragging on him didn't help. I think Massie lost because of Massie.
"Because of Trump"' a convenient dodge for RINOs who are getting rejected in primaries by their own voters. They want to obscure the real reason for their rejection -- people started noticing that they are fakes and liars.

It would be better for America if Islam was depowered and Israel was the leading power in the Middle East.

Obviously the death of MAGA? How? Incumbent Senators are basically tenured for life in almost all cases. Trump asked the public to unseat Massie, and they did. Trump is at the heart of MAGA. Massie's ouster is an example of the capacity of Trump's MAGA, not its death.
"It's also of course the end of the Republican party."

I just finished reading King of Kings about the fall of the Shah of Iran and the Iranian revolution.
Khomeini, kept mostly in exile until our French friends took him in and bundled him back to Iran, was ambivalent about his role in the future of Iran back in 78/79, implying that Iran would transition into a democracy after the Shah fell.
When he did accede to power, all those deals, all those toadies who helped him achieve power (coupled with the feckless Carter admin who saw him as a non-threat) were instantaneously cast aside. This Muslim holy man, with another Muslim holy man as his executioner, wound up killing far more than the Shah and SAVAK ever did.
Taqiyya, they call it, Tucker.

The brain can not accept contradictory facts and works to resolve them. The ability to hold two contradictory facts in your brain creates a tension, and many people go nuts over this.
I can accept that, for example, Trump is a transactional egomaniac, *and* that he wants what is best for the country. I can accept that he is mostly removing grift, fraud, and waste, but that he is also grifting.
I am an adult.
Buy a child (or nut case) has to resolve this by saying Trump is either all bad, or all good. But nothing is pure so there are always contradiction that must be resolved. Their brain works overtime to remove the tension.
Now did that cause his psychotic break, or or is this a a symptom of that is above my pay grade.

another sign of mental illness is the smug smile Tucker has when he thinks he's sharing Secret Knowledge that your peons don't know but he does.
There's video of him claiming he doesn't own a computer because if you annoy (((the Powers That Be))) they'll slip child porn on to your computer and frame you as a pedophile. He says this with this huge arrogant smile, showing he's smarter than the Child Porn Framers (who we now know are The Jews).
And now that I think about it, I think he got that from his new anti-Israel, pro-Islam ally Scott Ritter, who must tell Tucker behind-the-scenes that his own child sex scandal was entirely contrived by Perfidious Jews.

Maybe getting released by Fox in the hubbub about "lying"--when Tucker was the closest to transparent about how he felt about Trump having won 2020, really sent him over the edge.
The real problem with Fox re the 2020 election, is that they allowed people on who claimed the election was stolen, and weren't part of the media press to banish that thought as cray-cray. They platformed "election deniers".
(And I say that as a guy who accepted Trump could "lose" in 2020.)

On that topic, I remember a person with schizophrenia who was well aware she saw things that weren't real talking about how she didn't like to talk about it.
Not because people treated her badly or thought she was weird. No, it was more interesting than that.
She didn't like telling people, "I see X" because their first question was, "Where do you see X?" If she told them where, they would immediately look to see what, if anything, they could see.
She didn't like this, because then a real person was sort of interacting with her delusion, which blurred the line between reality and schizophrenia even more than usual.

It died in 2021 when he lead the insurrection.
It died in 2022 when he was charged.
It died in 2023 when he killed the immigration bill despite not being in government.
It died in 2024 when Biden beat him in the debate.

Government leaders are very careful to avoid putting sensitive things on paper. Plausible deniability. If the scheme gets exposed, it was just some rogue agents acting without sanction.
Eisenhower tried that, briefly, after Gary Power’s U2 was shot down over Russia. You won’t find any written orders from on high for any of the stuff CIA was doing in the 40s and 50s and beyond. Totally off the books and off budget.

For a few years, Tucker and I had similar point of view. Skepticism about both sides of the aisle, but also understanding how bad the Dems were. Knew were the problems were coming from. Interesting guests, asked good and hard questions that no one else was asking. Only politics show worth watching. (Hannity sucked then and still does for all I know.) Only his UFO segments weren't watchable. Very odd to see how loony he has become.

Happily retired, holding court at Mar-a-Lago as he puts out Truth Social posts about how he loves his successor (Vance) and how his successor's VP (Rubio) are the best presidents, just the best, except for Trump, some say. And he can't disagree with some people.

I think he could get a good number of crossover voters who respect his stance on Israel and the Epstein Files from both Democrats and independents. This is still a winnable fight.
Edit: Just discovered Kentucky has a sore loser law that probits these. Devastating.
This "sore loser" law sounds very undemocratic.
I am sad not only because Massie lost, but due to what this says about the people of his district and the USA in general. The fact that we cannot have one representative that truly represents us is extremely disappointing.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was rigged. You know who always wins...
Massie is a hardcore conservative, but he is someone you can have a conversation and debate with. He isn’t a bootlicker who will say yes daddy when Trump asks them to fuck the American people for another dollar in his bank account. He won’t just vote to keep his job, and if another person goes down for standing up to Trump it fully closes the door on the Republican Party not just being the Trumpican Party.

An Obama judge has dismissed the federal human trafficking case against illegal El Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia, calling it "malicious prosecution"

If I remember correctly, the prosecution was the only thing keeping him in the country at this point. His deportation order was no longer even contested.

He's so hard core he raises the debt ceiling under Democrats, refuses to do it under Republicans, and refuses to do anything to help draft large, must pass bills to make them better and more conservative, instead choosing to stand aside and scream that it's not fair that he didn't get 100% of what he wanted.
That's not a conservative.
That's a libertarian.

I remember reading months of comments "Don't worry Trump's not serious, he's going to drop out before x."
And that was a time that I was called a "NeverTrump" often enough, simply because I had a bad thing or 2 to say about Trump--especially because I got sick of him on his show The Apprentice, which I watched up to a year or 2 before t became yet another celebrities try to do stuff show.
But I still just wondered how people can be so adamant about things they can't know.

Demonization of a group or people leaves dead and wounded in their wake. Whether Christian, straights, Jew, or Republican.
Curiously enough it is rarely Muslims, atheists, troons, or Democrats that are victims of political violence.

> I guess, but he has 4 children, too. Everyone is just going along with it?
In college I lived in a condo with the owner's son. One day, a friend of the family suddenly showed up and couch surfed for a couple of months. I didn't like the guy. He was moody, secretive, and generally weird. He disappeared suddenly, and I heard rumors he had only been there to avoid arrest for drug offenses.
A few months later, that guy killed his mom and sister's best friend in a brutal stabbing attack. He was schizophrenic. They found him naked, covered in blood, wrapped in an American flag, babbling about how he was saving America.
His family had tried for YEARS to get him institutionalized, but when you're an adult and you don't want to be institutionalized, your family is nearly completely powerless.

My main concern with Massie, though, is that he tried to weaponize the Epstein files and the evil deeds done by those people for his personal power. It wasn't about the victims. It wasn't about justice. It was about Massie. He started to read those "names off the list" but many of those people were guilty of nothing but being mentioned in several MILLION files. I mean, Michael Jackson is mentioned in them.

Libertarianism borders on an ideology.
It's closer to pragmatic than Dems, but only marginally so.
Both the American liberal and the American libertarian tend to believe in the Constitution as a sort of Holy Writ.
It's an agreement among states. It's not a Manifesto.
My first encounter with something I recognized as "virtue signaling" was libertarians to liberals "I'm just as socially liberal as you, I just don't like taxes and laws."

The entire damn point of having a Trump is to close the door on the Republican party and replace it with a "Trumpican" party. (feckin' cringe, tho)
That's the entire purpose of MAGA. That's the entire reason he is even in politics.
In 2015 we had a Psychotic Murderous Pervert party and a Regular Ol' Ruin-Your-Interns'-Lives-With-Your-Dick Pervert party. And they both lived fat and happy and unchallenged off the toil and annoyance of our great nation.
Fuck the Republican party. And fuck the psychotic murder perverts for thinking they can yank that chain to keep all us rubes in line cheering for a tie color and voting for petty crooks out of sheer inertia.

Because he is painting targets on the backs of Jews just for being something most of them were born with. And doing it for yucks and money. And as a result, people will get killed over his false witness. Pretty much wicked.

He may be claiming that all his computers are "work" computers, over seen and accessible by staff.
So he could truly not "own" a computer as they are all owned by the business. That would insulate him from dirty tricks, but only if he could prove that his personal access was very limited. Possible.
Phone is much harder to create deniability.

Yes, this is an issue, a very complex one for sure. But if your dad is having a psychotic break and he is a national figure, it isn’t hard to go and say “y’all, my dad is saying bizarre things, we are trying to get him help”
But I guess he would then say his kids are paid by you know who and we are back to square one.

Indicating that his idea of success is people never having veered from the way he thinks things should have been done in the first place. Like, not living on the real Planet Earth where you're going to have predecessors who did stuff that caused you problems you don't think you should have had.

Maybe Cucker is bloated like I am because I'm feeling a pyschotic break coming on...
In reality I think he's been threatened. Had joined an exclusive club with some evil, wealthy, powerful people who are now applying the puppet strings. He thought he was invited and finally made it! Then threats to family, etc.if he doesn't toe the line.
Evil stuff out there...so I read as not here at my house. That I am aware of anyway. Once a white lab rat with a spot tried to invade from the patio but we called an animal trapper guy who apparently fed it to his snake. That's the only evil I can come up with.
Perhaps Tucker simply needs a new shirt.

Feigning ignorance to cheat-code an opposing argument is lazy and boring.
Demonstrating your opponent's ignorance by pointing out that the words they are using don't actually mean anything if you put even the slightest sliver of light on them is useful.
One is obfuscation. The other is clarification.

My mom went nuts. Or maybe she didn't and she was always that way.
But after my dad died I moved back to help her out and her mind was a real piece of work. I could watch her rationalize and rearrange reality to fit her world view over the weeks.
For example -- my brother would call and harass my wife. So she and I stopped answering the phone at the house. Well over a few weeks my mother had the story reversed and would get angry at me for calling my brother and harassing him. You see, I was bad, and he was good, so that was how things had to be to fit her worldview.

Lazy Leftist Zillennials (Including Grandma Taylor Lorenz) Discover a New Right: The Right for People to Order Expensive Food on DoorDash for Every Single Meal
I use DoorDash and the others too much. And when I do, I feel kinda bad about it. Once in a while is one thing, but ordering out multiple times per week is -- here's a word that Gen Z and the Millennials need to learn -- indulgent.
And lazy. It takes about 45 minutes to batch cook simple meals for 3-4 days. And it's cheap. Yes, eggs are more expensive now, but when I batch cook scrambled eggs with ham, pepper, and onion, it costs about $20 to make five meals. But Taylor Lorenz, joined by a bunch of basket-case lazybones "spooners" -- people who claim they only have a few "spoons" of energy during the day so society will just have to carry them on their backs -- begin arguing that some people don't have the "ability" to cook and are just too tired to take any steps to feed themselves besides pushing a few buttons on their phones (and begging their parents to send them more money). Boy these "young" people sure are "tired" a lot, aren't they? Kind of like Joe Biden. Who is 84 years old. If Joe Biden tells me he's too tired to cook, I get it. If a twenty-something layabout who works an "email job" tells me she just can't find the time or energy a couple of times per week to make scrambled eggs or fry up burgers and put them in the fridge to be microwaved later... well a lot f 23 year olds are just ready for retirement, I guess. Put them in group homes and put up tall walls around them. Wouldn't want the senile young invalids wandering off.The poorest ppl often don’t have the capacity to make home cooked meals for many reasons, but that’s not stepping “leftists” for advocating to deny poor people access to pre cooked meals and things like rotisserie chicken. They cannot ever imagine a better world! It’s incredible

Yes, of course you can start simple. But that’s predominantly not what is being pushed on people by search and social media when it comes to cooking content.

This trend started when a high school kid handed a card containing a simple sentence -- something like "the silhouette of the clothes was extraordinary but somewhat gauche" -- to fellow students and school officials and most could not read the words "silhouette" or "gauche" and could not say what the sentence meant. Many were tripped up by "extraordinary."
English-speaking, American students couldn't read, pronounce, or comprehend the following sentence:

I had my first one of these kiddos show up at a job interview with a parent. I actually laughed at the scene and didn't apologize (especially when the parent followed his daughter into my inteview room without any consideration for MY rules).
I might have overstepped my bounds by explaining to both the Father and the girl applying that it was not good optics or very good judgement on their part. I told them in the first few minutes that she wasn't getting the job because of this behavior. I simply asked, "How can I trust you with my business if you don't even trust yourself enough to secure a position within on your own?"
AND, you think these self-indulgent snow flakes can cook their own meals?

I order a pizza for delivery once a year or so, and it’s from the local pizzeria.
I go out to eat maybe once a month. Probably
Less. Too expensive and I can do a better job myself.
Meh. If you want to order delivery, do it. But don’t whine to me about being broke. And don’t tell me it’s a “right.”

I have been in the middle of this and its... truly bizarre.
Yes, everything is too expensive these days. The Biden depression caused horrendous inflation that we're still struggling with. Yes, homes cost ridiculous amounts. These are real frustrations for young people that I wholly sympathise with.
But they are lunatics on this, driven largely by living a notable percentage of their life in the Panic Lockdowns, when they got checks in the mail for merely existing and could order doordash every day.

The right approach is using Walmart Plus with their InHome addon, I get free deliveries without needing to tip as long as Im fine with next day delivery
Ditto Kroger's own delivery service, I use this with Walmart to order groceries and food thats basically ready to eat and so i can avoid people who I cant fucking stand anymore
I havent sen the sun in weeks though

The same idiots spending $25k a year on food delivery and Starfucks and dumb entertainment and frivolity are whining and crying about how expensive houses and cars are.
"But I can't affooooooooord a house, they're sooooooooo expensive. It's somebody else's fault!"
Don't get me wrong: anyone can spend their money any way they want (although I'll bet a lot of this is daddy's money). But you can only spend it once. Don't whine and cry to me that you can't afford a house or apartment when you're spending all your money on frivolity.
It's insane to me that almost all the 20-somethings I know spend way more money than me on delivery and Starfucks and other overpriced shit. And I have 500x the net worth they do.

Yes, of course you can start simple. But that’s predominantly not what is being pushed on people by search and social media when it comes to cooking content.

I really do sympathize with young folks who have been getting ripped off by the education industrial complex. Time was. one could go to a state university and (mostly) pay for it on a low wage job, maybe get yourself a little into debt but nothing like nowadays.
But that sympathy evaporates when some douche nozzle starts talking about how PB&J and chips is what they serve prisoners. You're too good to eat on a budget? Fine, please tell your story walking, cork soaker. Hope you get dysentery from the "locally sourced" unwashed lettuce on your chipotle burrito.

I have been seeing these rants.
I'm very fortunate that I have a wife that cooks, but even before that I could scrap around the kitchen.
I get it if you've never done it, it can be hard to give it a go.
It sounds silly, but the food network competition shows taught me a ton about how to make things work. Shows like Chopped where people get a mystery bag of ingredients and have to make something edible.
They end up teaching what flavors go together... it helps. In fact my wife and I will have chopped nights where we pull stuff out of the fridge and try to make something work.
Anyway.. it's significantly cheaper and allows you to be significantly healthier.

Their main argument when pinned down by absolute facts, they scream about how saving 3000 a year on lunch will never buy them a house!! A HOUSE!!!1!1!!!!
Well no, no one suggested that you can buy a house by eating more frugally. Obviously.
But maybe if you stopped buying 2-3 coffee-flavored milkshakes a day, 8 streaming services, 12 online subscriptions you largely forgot about, doordash dinner most of the week, a new smart phone every time Apple puts one out, going to Disneyworld every year on your credit card etc, etc, etc well... maybe you could buy a cheap starter house in a less expensive part of the country after a few years.

Re: poverty, I remember how the government got upset when it turned out a lot of African-origin immigrants on food stamps were feeding their own families healthy rice, beans, and veggie diets, and then using the leftover food stamps to ship barrels of rice and beans home to their relatives overseas.
This is why they have the legal language about EBT being intended to feed you and _your_ family, not other people. Same thing for the rules against using the food stamp food to create income for yourself by selling your cooking.
This was happening in expensive blue-state cities, so I figure that everybody can afford to cook rice, beans, and veggies.

BTW this is all repurposed "Food Desert" discourse from the 2000s-2010s in which lefties LARP in their minds as poor urban people (inner city people are the only "true" poors). The lefties say "(enormously obese with type II diabetes) poor people can't afford to eat." Then you point out that dried beans and rice and chicken thighs or whatever can make 8 servings for $5.99 which is the price of a value meal cheeseburger and they would claim that "these people are exhausted from (not) working all day and after watching four kids (from three fathers) all day the last thing someone wants to do is slave over a stove!" Then you point out that for whatever their faults the "immigrants" who work long hours of grueling manual labor still cook their own meals and they just put their fingers in their ears and scream "lalalalala." You know what the source for the dependence upon prepared foods for this age cohort/class is? Having gone to college where there is an endless variety of satisfying foods to sample. That's it - they're overgrown children who stopped maturing in thirteenth grade and they "just can't adult" most days.

Throw criminals in jail so you can run an inner city grocery store - food prices fixed.
Oh and half federal and state taxes as well.

I mean, almost all of us are of a certain age, and we know what it was like to grow up. We remember our 3.15 minimum wage not being enough to move out into our starter home, we ate ramen and peanut butter and lived with 5 of our buddies in a house we couldn't afford to heat. Wear a coat. And some gloves.
Then we got a better job, and worked hard, and got promoted and earned more and maybe eventually did quite well.

It’s my observation, but I bet I’m not the first, the simple basic recipes often taste the best.
4 or 5 ingredients, tops. “Comfort food”. Meat & potatoes, or pasta. Chicken & Rice. Egg dishes, there are plenty.
Chili. (Not including Carrot, mind you) is easy to make and nutritious.

When I was in college I lived off campus and cooked for myself. My two staples were spaghetti (fry the ground beef and mix with a sauce created from a powder bought from the store mixed with water to create the sauce; boil noodles… voila spaghetti) and a strange combo involving Kraft Mac n cheese supplemented with tuna out of the tin and frozen peas boiled with the noodles. I loved ‘em both!

But the silly thing is that you can nod and agree that prices are nuts but they blame "boomers" and don't even care how it got this way.
Pointing out that paying people 15 bucks an hour drove prices up gets them angry and spitting. Saying that the Panic Lockdown stimulus payments and endless unemployment drove inflation through the roof gets them furious or dismissive. Noting that all the gasoline and delivery regulations in the past caused prices to all go up, they don't want to hear it, ITS BOOMERS. BOOMERS (meaning anyone older than me) DID IT ALL!!!!

My brothers step son and step son's wife fit this profile, only I think they are a bit older than zillenials. Actually I don't know if they do the door dash. But they don't work. Not close with brother and wouldn't bring up the topic if I was cuz I'm old curmudgeon about it. But when we both staying at sis's for my dad's memorial a year+ ago, brother said "wife gets too anxious home alone so only wants step son to try to get work from home job". They both got jobs phoning people or taking calls for something or other, but got fired for not doing the calls.
I cant fathom it. Bro's wife keeps helping them out, but she is not from uber money and my family is not from money, bro makes decent money but there is no pot of money for a trust fund for these two spoiled adults. I think they are going to hit 50-55 and be in a world of hurt. But not my circus.

When I taught in South Korea, the restaurants would deliver meals in real dishes and pick them up an hour later on those little scooters....for free. We had that at the school a few times and I couldn't have been more impressed if the food was teleported there.

The right approach is using Walmart Plus with their InHome addon, I get free deliveries without needing to tip as long as Im fine with next day delivery
Posted by: The Unvaxed and Unmasked Ranger
Yeah, it's the same local delivery as same-day, but comes next day and there's no option to tip, or expectation to. I hope they keep doing it this way, but more people will eventually catch on and they could change it.

Wasn't it here that we discussed the underbelly of food delivery services that takes advantage of the illegals and other people who do the driving? Like, the people who "own" the DoorDash franchise for a particular area lease out their ID or whatever to several drivers, but they're the ones actually making money. Then they pay the drivers pennies.
So something to that effect?

Loaf of bread: $4
Half pound of ham: $3
Quarter pound of cheese: $2
So for $9 you can have 3 lunches. Throw in a jar of mustard or mayo for flavor.
Or...you can pay $27 for one lunch from door dash.

It's ridiculously expensive. Our previous neighbors kid used to get door dash and they would sometimes bring it to my door by mistake. One of them was $18.00 for a burger king whopper value meal on wednesday that only costs $5.99 if you go and buy it at the store. The kicker is the local burger king is less than a five minute drive from our house.

It's not that they don't want to cook, it's that to cook they want to make hand movements that are eerily similar to ordering things be delivered by typing, or using voice commands. It's like writing by hand. I don't even like doing that anymore though I do when taking short notes or whatnot (like during oral argument or at deposition). But I do make food by hand movements that do not resemble typing.

one of the oddest twists is the elitist dismissal of anything people suggest that is simpler and cheaper to make. YOU EXPECT MEEEEE TO EAT THAAAT??? like Marine Antoinette given a hamburger. Its an outage to even suggest it!!
Partly I think that this is the result of people who watch cooking videos and restaurant critiques all day. They become conditioned to think that anything less than Wagyu is something scraped off a Dehli boot. They don't know how to cook but they have learned all the language of cooking and can dismiss things they deem inferior as if they understand cooking, flavor, and value.

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many:
-To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc
-Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients
-Purchasing exact item amts often not possible
-Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging
Yes, of course you can start simple. But that’s predominantly not what is being pushed on people by search and social media when it comes to cooking content.
Here's an idea. Turn off the f***ing phone, and get yourself a cookbook from 30 years ago. They're everywhere.

I have this great book from the early 70's, a Penguin paperback called Cooking in a Bedsitter which was for those English who lived in essentially studios with a bathroom down the hall and could cook over a gas-ring.
Mom got me the Fannie Farmer Cookbook when I was a freshman in HS so I had something other than her Betty Crocker book to cook from.
For those who can't seem to figure out how to cook, then there are all sorts of premade meals in pouches that just need to be microwaved. It is like colorful MREs, but with flavor.

…and they rage at you for wanting them to eat "poverty food"
Yeah, I don’t get the “poverty food” put-down. Every time I’ve seen something denigrated as poverty food, it’s good food. It’s a nice soup, or a nice sandwich, inexpensive, easy to make, and likely tasty.
And then people explaining in more detail how to make something very good get hit for using technical terms like salt, pepper, onion, and garlic if they dare abbreviate it after the first use.
It reminds me a lot about the saying about politicians, that they have to act like they don’t know the obvious.

But Taylor Lorenz, joined by a bunch of basket-case lazybones "spooners" -- people who claim they only have a few "spoons" of energy during the day so society will just have to carry them on their backs -- begin arguing that some people don't have the "ability" to cook and are just too tired to take any steps to feed themselves besides pushing a few buttons on their phones (and begging their parents to send them more money).

Gen X here. Been eating Mega Fit Meals for years now. Pre made and shipped to me every Wednesday. Protien, Fats, Carbs dialed in. My menu is $330 a week. Lazy? I don't give a shit. I'm not fat, it's healthy food and I have more time or am usually working 7 days a week and long hours at a refinery. Keep myself I a bit of a coloric deficit and when I need more cals I have restaurants I go to and it's usually a healthy meal.

Shortly after D Day, General Eisenhower made it over to France, just to see how things were going. He had his driver, a Sergeant, frequently whip up something for both to eat including egg sandwiches. (using a small stove issued to a lot of troops). I guess the Door dash young uns have more important things to do other than invading Europe.

That burger is ass when it's fresh. No way that travels well waiting door dash to get it to you
Yeah most food doesn't deliver well; the classics do and that's why they are classic: Chinese, Pizza. You order a steak and potatoes and you're gonna get Hungry Man by the time it reaches you.
And the costs are bad because not only does the delivery service charge the restaurant for the privilege of delivering their food, but they add service and delivery fees on top AND the restaurants push the price up to make up for the cost from the delivery service. Its a good 30% or more higher on Doordash than going there and picking it up. And on top of that, all these services have been busted raising prices on the foods without the restaurants telling them to.

Wasn't it here that we discussed the underbelly of food delivery services that takes advantage of the illegals and other people who do the driving? Like, the people who "own" the DoorDash franchise for a particular area lease out their ID or whatever to several drivers, but they're the ones actually making money. Then they pay the drivers pennies.
So something to that effect?

And it's good stuff. As cook as fresh made? No. But as good as -- and probably better -- than DD gruel and even most restaurants.
Cost? Maybe 30% of the cost of delivery or eat-in.

Ones like “How to Cook Everything “ and “Five Ingredient Dinners.” Heck, I picked up a mug cookbook for $1 at the used bookstore. You can do so much with eggs + a few other ingredients!
There’s blame to go around. If the kids grew up on takeout because both parents were working and was never taught, for example. This is learned behavior, our culture had sold them on the need for exotic cuisine delivered to them. We need to do better!

Social media is responsible for a lot of stupid stuff.
Oh look, people making complicated recipes and I have to do the same.
What you need is a meat, starch, and a vegetable.
It's not difficult. Stop comparing yourself with people on social media. Most of them are liars.

Oh, FFS.
I occasionally order from DoorDash. Occasionally.
Two of three weeks, I eat at my brother's or my parents' for Shabbos. The third week is my turn.
On Wednesdays, we go to a restaurant for trivia night, and eat there.
Most weeks, we work full time jobs, tend the garden, work the lawns, clean the house, and find time to cook a delicious fresh dinner for our family 5-6 days a week.
Get a life, all of you. Seriously. If you can't be bothered to cook and feed yourself or your family, why even bother? Can DoorDash deliver you a gun to eat? At least a Hi-Point or something?

I pride myself on making hard boiled eggs. Keep them around for snacks or when I have to take pills and just not hungry. Water to a boil, add eggs, bring to a boil again and cook for ten minutes. Rinse with cold tap water until you can handle them. Into the fridge. You can peel, usually, with only two big pieces of shell coming off.

As a non-English major, I would say that "gauche" should be replaced with "garish". Clothes that were unsophisticated (what "gauche" means) wouldn't seem extraordinary.
Also, I think Deva Hazarika's tweet was about the reasons he's seen about why people feel overwhelmed by the idea of cooking all their meals. Based on remarks I've seen on X, it seems like Granny Millennial and her co-whiners can't figure out that you don't have to make everything from scratch. I mentioned to a kid that you can drain and heat a can of green beans in a pan with bacon grease - and wow! his mind was blown when he tried it.
My mother's dinners consisted of a meat, a cooked vegetable (preferably starchy), and a raw salad. She could can vegetables and make applesauce, made three kinds of pickles, and baked desserts from scratch.

Unless he made another post in which he refuted the "objections" he listed he's still being absurd.
You can get a decent selection of spices for the cost of one doordash order. More than you'll probably use for years for two orders.
Ingredients can be easily substituted for others.
Exact amounts aren't needed outside of baking, having a bit less of one thing or a bit more of another is fine.
Using remainder of perishable food is the easiest cooking, leftovers get thrown into pasta, put on top of rice, or inside sandwiches.

There’s blame to go around. If the kids grew up on takeout because both parents were working and was never taught, for example. This is learned behavior, our culture had sold them on the need for exotic cuisine delivered to them. We need to do better!
I couldn't cook toast when I was in HS. I learned a few (very) basics in college. After that, I learned more because who wants to eat the same thing all the time. It can be done! We have the technology! I'm not giving anyone a pass because they're too lazy to learn something which isn't that hard to do.
BTW, it was nice to see that Taylor Lorenz is still identifying as a yute by using lingo which probably very few of them do. Spooners? Really?

Cooking is intimidating but in an age of online recipes and youtube tutorials, its inexcusable to simply not do it. Yeah everyone is tired after a day of work: EVERYONE. That's part of being a human being, we have finite energy. But you can afford to spend a few billijoules of that to boil some water.

Like pixels? how do I know I'll like it because this random dude does? How do I know he's telling me the truth? What if they just screwed up the order last time? What if you just are having a bad day and nothing tastes great?

I know this is probably just an AoS inside joke but even sous vide is dead-nuts simple, and in fact simplifies or idiot-proofs a lot of food. Yes you need to invest in a circulator but they're not really expensive.
Dropping some chicken breast in a SV at 150F for 3-4 hours will give you the best, most juicy chicken breast you'll ever have, and you can just drop it and forget it.

Sous Vide is absolutely trivial if you purchase the tech. I got a stick that clamps to the edge of a deep soup pot. Plug it in, fill the pot with water, put the meat plus sauce in a ziploc bag and squeeze out the air by dunking below the water to burp air out. Seal the bag, put something heavy on it to submerge and go away. It doesn't burn and if you are late showing up it doesn't matter. Take out the cooked meat, cut it up or sear it if you like and done.
The wand was about 100 dollars 15 years ago.

It meant calling your parents which wasn't a bad thing...but it will take you way longer to get a recipe from your mother on a "quick call" then even a poorly written internet recipe that starts with "This recipe reminds me of the hills of Tuscany..."

And then she made dinner every night for us ungrateful kids.

If you can afford to get food delivered, more power to you. We definitely eat out (we can walk to restaurants that serve real food), we definitely get delivery (but not fast food). I get the majority of our groceries delivered because I am very picky about brands and the types of food I want. But I am not crying the blues about not being able to do this or that at the same time. If I was not in the relationship I am in, and I had to do things on a tight budget, I absolutely could. I have in the past. I don’t have too and I am blessed for it, I don’t take it for granted. I definitely don’t feel as if I would be entitled to it on tax payer dimes. One thing missing is being able to budget and leave well within your means, wherever your means happen to be at the time.

The Coleman 520 “pocket stove”. (They had big pockets then, I guess)
Ernie Pyle wrote a column on them, they were very popular, since they meant hot chow, coffee, water for shaving, thawing feet out, etc. Coleman sent Ernie a nickel plated job with his name engraved on it.
Coleman also made a stainless steel lightweight version for the mountain troops, but they didn’t get issued till late. Both models have become collector items, I used to see them for $3 at the garage sales.

You're right. I dunno if I would call them "liars" but it's lying by omission. When you're on social media you're AT BEST watching a highlight reel, and most of the time you're watching two-minute clips that someone spent six hours filming editing and posting.
These people don't understand that the internet isn't reality, just like the people that think that what Qatarlson and Cavernous Nostrils have to say reflects the opinions of normal conservatives. It's different planets.

I was never allowed in the kitchen when my mother cooked, but my grandma let me help her in the kitchen. She never used recipes, just used a pinch of this, or let's try this. It was magic to me. I love to cook and I look at recipes and then make them my own way. I have been told im a fabulous cook and I can tell people what's inside the recipe, but not any specific measurements.
That's why these lazy people make me sick. Its easy to make a tuna sandwich. I had three kids and a fulltime job and still managed dinner for everyone. Stupid lazy idiots.

We were po'college or new grads when we married. Had a '50's fridge with freezer space for metal ice cube trays in our 100yr old rental house. We shopped a couple of times a week for chicken or ground beef.
I was learning to cook and we somehow survived. I only cooked on top of the ancient gas stove burners due to previously blowing one up in college (not knowing to light a pilot light) on a date. Once deaf with singed hair and a hematoma on my right thigh was enough and my new husband respected my refusal. He also wanted to live past 24yrs.
When the two chimps arrived I made casseroles. Or chicken with fresh veg. No fast food for lunch or dinners. We survived. It was a treat to go to out to dinner once a month.
I kept learning to cook real meals, too. With more ingredients & difficulty. A real freezer helped. I worked with two women who refused to cook anything with more than 5 ingredients. They were dimwits in other areas as well.
Sometimes I had 2 part time jobs, kept our sons alive at the same time, & I don't want to hear how these spoiled brats with college debt order their fancy pants meals. I would also have to screen the person delivering if they were illgal.

I disagree. When a “recipe” begins with what appears to be a history of the world and requires several pagedowns to get to, it’s not a recipe. It’s clickbait. The recipe isn’t the point. It might be good; it might not; but you can’t count on it.

There are some standards, however dubiously followed. As noted, it is an illusion that you are not eating off a toilet seat when somebody handles your food. So why double the contamination?

Throw in an air fryer up to once a year. They are only $60 for a halfway decent one and smaller and easier to setup then a real stove but will give you 80% of the use...

My Dad did that. He had a small mill he used. Had different plates for grinding, and could grind coarse or fine flour. Made wheat flour (loved the hard red winter wheat for some reason) and corn flour...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at May 22, 2026 03:29 PM (ynpvh)
Hard red wheat has a higher protein and gluten content which makes for a richer, higher rising bread. Soft white, on the other hand, makes good noodles and can be used for batters like pancakes since it has less gluten and can be handled rougher and still be tender.
One of the things that makes bread and such tough is that the gluten is not allowed to develop, and instead breaks and gets all tangled - this is at the molecular level by the way, you can feel it by the stretch and resistance as dough.
I tend to be obsessive about bread baking, but apparently your dad had me beat.

Ditch the flavor pack that gives out all the bad stuff. Boil with a little chopped celery and onion.Top with butter and maybe some garlic powder after done.

NutriMill Harvest Electric Stone Grain Mill
That looks nice. So far I’ve been either using a blender, followed by using a coffee grinder for the bits left behind in the sifter, which doesn’t have the exact same behavior as flour, although it works well enough.
Recently I’ve been experimenting with an old hand-cranked nut grinder that I found in an antique store basement. It has what appears to be a grain attachment, but I’m not sure. The wing nut was missing, so I’ve had to roll my own.
I may have to spring for a real mill, because the bread, muffins, and cereal made with this makeshift home-ground wheat berries is quite good.

This kind of helplessness seems way more common nowadays, but certainly wasn't unheard of in previous generations.
Way back in the 20th Century my brother and his gf had a coworker and his whatever-she-was over for dinner.
Bro's gf had made something or other that was simple but tasty.
Whatever-she-was expressed admiration for the taste wished she could cook...anything.
BGF started telling her the recipe. Blank look. BGF took it down a notch. "You could try making Hamburger Helper for a start... all you have to do is brown the hamburger." "How do you brown hamburger?"
This is thepoint at which BGF gave up.
I assume that whoever whatever-she-was is banging nowadays is still paying for restaurants or takeouts for every meal.

The one item that it is far preferable to buy than make is onion rings. Sure, you can do it cheaply, but if you are making some, you might as well make about ten pounds of them.
I haven't made tamales at home, but I bet they are similar.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at May 22, 2026 03:42 PM (0U5gm)
There is a place just down the street from me that makes excellent onion rings.. But they are large portions, so wife and I will split an order.

That's a good idea. My grandmother and her peers got a pressure cooker during rationing, plus recipe booklets for common rations.
---------------
Wifey uses a pressure cooker for about half of our meals.
We did have one accident where the pressure got too high, the plug blew, and made a gumbo mess on the walls and ceiling!

Lack of adhesive ducks is a serious problem! OTOH, I got to see Penny's butt because of that, so it can also be a win.

Watched a documentary about the making of that ... and the incredible female singer pouring her heart and soul into belting out those background lyrics (she was brought into over dub The Stones' already recorded music and lyrics), Merry Clayton, was in an advanced stage of pregnancy at the time and subsequently lost her baby -- which she and her husband attributed to that incredible performance.

I don't like talking on the phone for most things because it's synchronous. You don't need to interrupt what I'm doing to ask me to add a task to my queue. I'll see your message and add the task when I choose.
I talk on the phone with people I love, or people I make time for. Everyone else gets my time and attention at my discretion.

Ninety-five percent of my cooking does not involve a recipe. I use techniques instead -- dry brining meat, blooming seasonings in oil, etc. My meal planning involves "what's in the fridge that needs using up," "what's on sale," and "what sounds good with those things?" The only time that type of cooking is stressful is if I'm trying to feed someone who is not accustomed to my creativity. Then I wonder if they will like it as much as my husband and I usually do.

Vintage cookbooks are awesome. Betty Crocker and similar up until the 1950s or so. No pictures in the Better Homes cookbook I have. Content rich, though. People were thrifty and frugal and knew how to make tough cuts of meat into a savory feast. Pre-packaged cheat foods didn’t really exist. If you wanted a fucking pie, it didn’t come in a box

I have my dad's old Coleman stove that he purchased sometime in the early 1950's. I replaced the old leather seals with new rubber ones, but other than that, it is original, and works beautifully. I sometimes use to for canning out on the deck so I don't heat the whole house up. And it travels very well.

it is a personal thing, I don't trust gasoline. HOWEVER on the far end of nowhere, without special resupply it is a good fuel to have, especially if it gets really cold.
I use a two burner propane stove to can outside to keep the house cool in the summer. I have a smaller one to make coffee in the mornings too. I also have Coleman stoves and a kerosene stove as well because reasons.

Bit of a false dichotomy here between doordashing every meal and learning how to cook homemade meals from scratch.
My grocery store has about 2-1/2 aisles of frozen food, all of which has instructions printed on the package telling you what temperature and how long to heat it in the oven and/or how long to microwave it. Back in college I pretty much lived off of frozen chicken nuggets and bagged frozen peas/carrots/corn mix.

372 Ninety-five percent of my cooking does not involve a recipe. I use techniques instead -- dry brining meat, blooming seasonings in oil, etc. My meal planning involves "what's in the fridge that needs using up," "what's on sale," and "what sounds good with those things?" The only time that type of cooking is stressful is if I'm trying to feed someone who is not accustomed to my creativity. Then I wonder if they will like it as much as my husband and I usually do.

I learned this kind of cooking as well. Mom was a child of the depression. Never wasted a thing in the fridge, ever. She could make one 10 lb roast last 4 days for a family of 7. And it was usually moose roast.

In the city that my husband and I often visit there is an outfit that makes frozen dinners with REAL FOOD that are pretty good and cheaper and healthier than most convenience foods. We sometimes keep a few of those in our freezer for hectic days.
A caveat -- the dinners featuring smoked brisket are delicious, but it's a sin to microwave smoked brisket.

*These people not only don't work, but they have convinced themselves (and their Democrat politicians) that they can't work. They are literally helpless invalids of their own making
This is the obvious outcome of paying people not to work.
If you don't have to work and you still get $$$ for being unable to work a whole bunch of people are going to find a reason they can't.
This is a subset of the problem with socialism overall. Capitalism rewards people for contributing, socialism rewards people based on their "need" and requires from them "their ability". Well, why wouldn't you maximize your needs and minimize your abilities then?

Both my parents worked an hour from home. My brother and I had to cook dinner. High school was a little different because we played sports.
If you’re not cooking at home after COVID, good luck. Get an instant pot. I use it nearly every day. I made pizza today. I bought a cast iron pizza pan that I make great steak, burgers, and hotdogs. It also works with pancakes which are better than any diner can make.
It’s amazing how many staples can be made with seven ingredients or less.
We eat one meal a week at a restaurant. All other meals are made at home.

Nutrimills work well. I have the grain attachment for Kitchen Aid mixers but those take two passes. Also have used a Corona Grain Mill.
Instant Pots are handy. I got some of the Sooper Cubes, which let you freeze food into regular sizes for heating up later.

I just checked. Alaska does not normally allow SNAP/EBT/"food stamps" to be used for purchasing restaurant food, or hot food in general (say from a supermarket deli counter).
There's a waiver right now because of the displaced people from the hurricane, but in general you can't do it.
One interesting wrinkle: Alaska also allows using SNAP/EBT to purchase subsistence (but not sport) hunting and fishing gear. To qualify for that you have to live in the Bush or a village small enough that access to regular groceries is limited.

I asked why. He said we were just working around some strong chemicals and I'd like to keep my pecker in good condition. So sometimes I wash my hands before AND after I piss.

I was forced into cooking when I first moved West & lived with 2 male psych major grad students.
Bummed when I said I don't cook.They said too bad as we are dividing things 3 ways. (A landlady of a friend arranged this 3's Company year for me). Thankfully not with serial killers. They had gfs who hated me on sight
Mother mailed a cookbook to me and I did not kill them & learned.
By the time I married I could not cook without a recipe. My dude had to teach me how to bake a potato & make rice. He did not marry me for my cooking.
When the oven of another post-WW2 apt blew up I was in a 4-plex and trying to be cool on our 2nd date. Told this in the ONT once.
Had my hair down to my waist, making chicken cacciatore, a favorite of the apt mates. Stirring sauce & looking good having a beer. Music playing on my stereo as he admired me. Then BOOM! Pilot light retardation. Asbestos rained down on the entree.
He asked wth (I lip read as we were both deaf). Took the wooden spoon from me,frozen in shock, turned off the gas. Led me to the sofa and we drank beer for an hour and he left.
Saw him years later at a hockey game and he smiled and waved...amazed I was alive and married.The End

Crime Skyrocketed During Biden's Open Borders Regime and Plummeted During Trump's Deporation Regime But I'm Sure This Is All a Right-Wing Coincidence, Racists
And the real numbers, for once in five years, are great.Matt Margolis points out that this is the reason the left is so insane to take out Kash Patel with absurd attacks: They need the pubic to believe that crime is just the cost of doing business and nothing can be done about it, so Shut Up Racist Peasants and Accept The Occasional Beating from a Lunatic Homeless Thug or Rape by a Criminal Illegal Alien. If Trump and Patel are successful in driving down crime, the public is aware this isn't just the cost of doing business. It's a choice, and one we can choose against. Steven Miller made that point about Democrat Disaster Governance:
The FBI released preliminary crime data for 2025, and the numbers are stunning. Violent crime fell at a rate not seen in nearly a century, and the man overseeing the bureau is the same one the left has been trying to torch for months.
Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024. "The 2025 crime data in this report shows the single largest decrease in violent crime and murder since 1937 -- as well as huge decreases across the board in terms of aggravated assault, rape, and robbery," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. Property crime wasn't far behind. It dropped by about 12.4%, translating to approximately 5.2 million fewer property offenses than the year before. The data comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which pulled information from more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies -- covering roughly 96% of policing across the country. This is what happens when you have a tough-on-crime administration running the country. Patel credited the transformation happening inside the bureau. "Over the last 14 months, we made major transformations at the FBI, and these results show those changes are working." He also pointed to his "back the blue" commitment -- backing law enforcement rather than undermining it -- as central to the approach.
This is one of the keys of his campaign. Nonprofits pay a lot of people to not solve the problem they claim to be solving. Remember when Mr. Beast went to Africa and built two clean water wells, and the NGO nonprofits over there criticized him for it, as some white savior complex… https://t.co/m8z8wKDlwR

Yeah, but it started under Biden after the weird height of 2020 which has no explanation.
Which means that the collapse in crime seen since Trump took office is actually Biden's responsibility.

Two thirds, easily, of our crime in Charlotte is done by blacks. Everyone else, white, brown, Asian, etc is lumped in the rest. Looking at the photo arrays of arrests that the local media puts out, you would think 90 percent of crime is done by white people.

Frankly the Texas Rangers should march into Austin at this point, drag Jose Garza outside the city, and dangle him in a small cage under a billboard for maybe 16 hours in full Texas daylight.
Then feed and water him and do it again for a few more days. (I'm a traditionalist.)

I'm not sure where he's getting this info from. Based on my independent research, the police have only released the name of one of the scumbags. He is indeed an illegal who looks like a mutant (maybe a tranny?).
The other two are minors and haven't been identified. Are they illegals? Probably. But I don't think we know that.

The hit Paramount+ series MobLand is not picking up Tom Hardy for the third season.
The 48-year-old British actor, played the role of fixer Harry Da Souza alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.
Besides claims that Hardy was involved in a series of clashes with producers on set, he is also accused of repeatedly arriving late for work (a trait that is said to have sparked shouting matches with Charlize Theron when they filmed Mad Max: Fury Road).
Additionally, he pushed to change some lines during filming, and also apparently offered notes on the script without being asked.

Sure seems like the political violence has ramped up.
That "Trump house" guy isn't supposed to make it after being nearly, probably, beat to death over it. The Democrats are normalizing violent behavior as long as it's directed to the "right" people.
They couldn't be any more obvious if they wore brown shirts.

spend decades telling black people that the odds are stacked against them no matter what they do, let them go through 12 years of public school to give them maybe a third grade education, and have a legal system that lets people get away with a lot of crime, and what do you expect to happen?

Woah! Air-conditioned room! Spent two hours up on the roof in bright sunshine, stripping shingles off rotten roof deck. There was a nice breeze, so there's that. Looks like three sheets of half-inch plywood will replace the rotten deck panels. Maybe one more partial.
Done for the day up top. Will go to Home Despot, and buy some plywood, and arrange to have it delivered. I have a friend here helping me.

Her principal deputy, Aaron Lukas is taking over. Lukas is a good egg and, IMO, will be a better fit than Gabbard. I like Gabbard. I admire her fortitude and her willingness to flip the bird to the Senate Select Committee on Int. But, it was hard to get past her core political beliefs (strong classical Liberal).
This would be a more damaging occurrence if there wasn't a solid replacement already in place to take the reigns.

If anything you have to admire Democrats gravitas.
They just lie right to your face, and if you’re ignorant like most of their base, you sit there and nod your head along with the MSM talking dummy.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024.

Violent crime has been falling for 30+ years. Trump didn't have to do a thing to "lower crime rates."
Free Beacon reported we have fewer cops now than anytime in the last 25 years. Less cops= less crimes found= less crimes convicted= less crimes proven to have occurred= less data on crime. The short answer is always he didn’t do shit.
Lol. He just hired the violent thugs and gave them carte blanche to assault and disappear and even murder you.
Two big factors in the longterm trend: 1-Lead was removed from gas in the 70's which lead to overall better mental health.
2. Abortion was made legal in the 70's leading to fewer unwanted then uncared-for children being born
You are so close to a correlation between roe v wade and lower crime rates. Hint: it tends to disperately impact certain demographics that also have higher violent crime rates...

There are about 22 million illegal aliens. 5-6 million who came in during Biden. So far we’ve deported ~3 million, a record. 2.2 million were self deported.
I figure that number gets bigger as we cut off their federal taxpayer money and fraud. Plus the Blue States they have crowded into are already in economic trouble- so you wonder how long this goes on. One more Republican president and they will be circling the drain.

That also doesn't count the number of people who just...left and didn't tell anyone.
And ICE tripled its budget with the OBBB (took effect Jan 1, so new agents started getting trained at the beginning of the year). Deportations have gone up since the deaths of Goode and Pretti, but the media is distracted by squirrels (Iran, redistricting, Massie) and don't report it anymore except on the margins.
All while every legal immigration path is being narrowed (most recent was the enforcement of the statutory requirement that visa holders requesting new visas, like green cards, have to wait in their home countries, not here, something that's gone unenforced for decades).
How many of these people voted?

Just a coincidence, though.
Yesterday I pointed out the lack of hard evidence to support that assertion. I read this article today, which at least suggests the numbers are somewhat reliable. I'm still skeptical until I see hard data, though. The NY Post isn't all that reliable. I'll need more than "DHS says".
Stunning number of illegal migrants who have been deported from US or left voluntarily is revealed by DHS.
More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the US or been deported since President Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has revealed.
Of those 3 million, 2.2 million have opted to self-deport through a program that allows migrants to turn themselves in via a DHS app in return for a cash stipend and free flight home.
Another 900,000 have been deported since Jan. 20, 2025, and as of this month, DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures.

More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the US or been deported since President Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has revealed.

So, if there was 20 million illegals here before the 3 million left, that leaves....
20 million illegals!

She popped up like a demented gopher to rage about Trump last week and no one cares.
Someone let her out of her padded cell after she tanked their career whining about GWB.
Apparently all she has done since then was eat as her husband fled. Sadly she has two sons who probably pretend not to know her.

I have a "dumbbell theory" of social ethics, where both the overclass and the underclass treat "legal" as meaning "what you can get away with." Only the working and middle classes are chumps who cherish the law as something that ought to be followed regardless.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the same people who are constantly pushing for new gun laws are simultaneously undermining their pitch by refusing to enforce existing gun laws on... guess who... the overclass and underclass. And, it's the overclass that is for decarceration, not the working and middle classes.
There is a weird connection between socio-economic elites and street punks, and I can't tell if it's just psychological -- "But for the grace of IQ and connections, there go I" -- or if it's a domination strategy (anarcho-tyranny), or if it's a spiritual thing.
Except for all the violent criminals.

I have a "dumbbell theory" of social ethics, where both the overclass and the underclass treat "legal" as meaning "what you can get away with." Only the working and middle classes are chumps who cherish the law as something that ought to be followed regardless.

I am sorry that you had a bad night and nightmares and hope this night is better for you.
Fen it was scary bad stuff
like, you close your eyes and go RIGHT BACK TO IT
just the normal world but the sun didn't shine and everything was dark and gray. I tried to look in the sky for the moon or stars and there was a symbol in the sky instead, which I can still picture. It was a sigil, and really an evil demonic one.
still today I am worried about even seeing that. horrible.

212 There are about 22 million illegal aliens.
We grew from 212 million to 343 million from 1973 to now. That's with fifty straight years of Roe v. Wade holding us below replacement rate.
Yet we didn't shrink.

======
We didn't dip below replacement rate until sometime in the 90s (conservatives remain at replacement rate now while progressives have collapsed).
I'm not saying most of our growth isn't illegal and legal immigration, but overall replacement rate has only been below 2.1 since about 1993 or so.

Whether or not one thinks there should be a museum for women in American history, it is just so incredibly stupid ( but par for the course for tone deaf Democrats) to want a wing for ( fake) transwomen. I'd skip that part of the American women's history museum if they included that.

213 That won't work. The 14th Amendment says you have to count everyone. And, even ignoring that, Congress has to green light an early Census...which is feasible, I guess...
The only change in results will be directly related to those deportations and self-deportations. But, it's something.
Posted by: Orson at May 22, 2026 02:25 PM (dIske)
======
The Census can count people without Congressional authority, it just can't be used for reapportionment of House and Electoral votes.
The point would be to get a good count of how many legal Americans there are.
And there are definite historical examples of not counting non-residents like diplomats and visitors, those with loyalties to other nations. Happened for a couple of hundred years.

Drove by that corner a couple of days ago. There is a statue there now. Wasn't there the last time I passed that way.
By the way, AVOID Meteor Crater. It has become a woke-stained tourist trap. They want $28.50 (senior rate!) just to pass through the museum to go to a viewing balcony on the crater rim. I waited in line ten minutes just to get to the painfully slow cashier, and when she told me that, I said, "I've seen it before, and I sure as Hell don't need to pay $28.50 to see it again. Bye!" My buddy was ahead of me, and paid his $28.50, because he really, really needed to use the shitter. "Most expensive shit I've ever had."

It's kind of a shame. I was at the Meteor Crater in the mid/late 1990s and it was fine. Maybe because it was August and there weren't as many tourists (but Flagstaff climate isn't terrible).
Only real issue I had was the NASA placards fluffing the stupid Space Shuttle.

This sounds awful, especially with how vivid it sounds. Are you able to listen to music when you fall asleep? I know this may sound like froo froo dust, but 437 MHz music is supposed to be calming for thoughts, along with green noise. That and a quick meditation to only allow positive thoughts and dreams. Maybe it is psychosomatic, but it seems to help me fall asleep when I am having racy brain issues.

A third party running as populists would destroy both the others - the Republicans immediately, and the Democrats a couple cycles later.
Not defeat them electorally, but destroy them. As in "afterthought, footnote political parties."
It would rapidly become [Populist] Party vs. [Communist] Party and D and R would be begging them to allow them to be junior partners.
If Trump wants to go down in history as a truly, cataclysmically transformative leader, an open break from the GOP and formation of a third party in November 2026 is the way to do it.

If Trump wants to go down in history as a truly, cataclysmically transformative leader, an open break from the GOP and formation of a third party in November 2026 is the way to do it.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at May 22, 2026 02:34 PM (BI5O2)
That's not how it works in the US. A third party will be eaten by one or both of the major parties cannibalizing its support. Which is happening to the GOP now with Trump, with populist people taking over more and more of the party posts every year, pushing out the GOPe over time.
The Dems may be unwilling or unable to morph itself easily due to the radicals taking over the power in the party, but it is no longer the party of Clinton or the 70s Dems anymore and is shedding members that used to support it.

Two of the key members of the court that forced a Democrat district on the state are resigning early.
And the legislature expanded the court by 2 already meaning the governor gets to appoint 4 judges. Out of 7.

Thank you for your kind words above.
If not a bird strike or engine falling off the Delta flight tomorrow, you may read of a former lovely woman who died tragically in the loo of the plane... as gravity took hold on landing and people forgot I was in there.It's possible.
I am never, ever afraid to fly. Flew a week post 9/11 or whenever they let us board again. With my trusty 20lb travel purse to attack anyone, anytime. That ain't the problem, even if we wake to the hellfire in Iran.
I am now in reverse cholera and just ate a chocolate chip cookie in anger because my husband is at Home Depot or somewhere. I did eat an apple before this.
I guess it could be worse. Trying to think of how, but I am enraged over circumstances. I know I used to recover faster from anything and if this is old age I am not pleased.
Ok, ebola would be worse on a plane. Or sitting next to a Dim politician instead of the husband of my youth.
I "voluntered" my RN license in FL over the thought of ebola and Obungo saying he'd draft retired nurses. I thought quitting was enough so I called Tallahassee and they said,nay, ye must write a letter vs killing someone or showing up high on meth. So I did.

JD Vance
@JDVance 14h Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you're committing fraud, we will find you, and we won't rest until justice is served.

Eric DaughertyTheir only ambition is plunder:
@EricLDaugh 🚨 OMG. Trump SBA chief Kelly Loeffler just revealed the Biden admin ORDERED their staff to ignore the US Treasury's "do not pay list" for grants -- and 70% WERE FLAGGED FOR FRAUD. "That's how $14 BILLION got out the door so quickly!" 🤯 "They ordered SBA employees to take 4 hours per applicant and not any more." This is criminal. "Then we come to find out in the GAO report that 70 percent of it was fraudulent!" "Now we, from day one at the SBA, have come in with a zero-tolerance policy on fraud. And so we began cracking down on it right away." "We've already sent out 1,000 demand letters demanding that those who took the money -- now these were not loans. These were grants. These were the federal government writing checks of taxpayer money!" @RapidResponse47
They LEGALIZED FRAUD.
Judge Glock
@judgeglock California high-speed rail cost now up to $231 billion. That means the average worker in the state will pay out over $12,000 to fund a single project that almost no one will ride. CA rail will be studied for generations, a truly once-in-a-lifetime level of government failure.
Ron DeSantisFlashback: Ilhan "Omar" declared that the Real Victims of fraud were the Somalis themselves. Some people did some things to some buildings, doncha know.
@RonDeSantis Is this $200+ billion dollar "high-speed" rail a policy failure? Of course. But if the goal was simply to commandeer tax dollars for distribution to politically-connected constituencies then I'd imagine those with that goal are probably quite pleased.

I always gotta laugh at criminals running from police who already built a case against them and came specifically to arrest them. Like, the police know who you are and will find you. Running only makes it worse.

Fraud investigations take time to collect evidence.
Intent has to be proven either explicitly (very rare) or through a preponderance of evidence, and that has to be a lot of evidence that needs to be sorted through, organized, and arranged to tell the story of the fraud.
Oh, and Vance said she is a target of the Fraud Task Force.

Fraud investigations take time to collect evidence.
Intent has to be proven either explicitly (very rare) or through a preponderance of evidence, and that has to be a lot of evidence that needs to be sorted through, organized, and arranged to tell the story of the fraud.
Oh, and Vance said she is a target of the Fraud Task Force.

California high-speed rail cost now up to $231 billion. That means the average worker in the state will pay out over $12,000 to fund a single project that almost no one will ride.
CA rail will be studied for generations, a truly once-in-a-lifetime level of government failure.
Hey, did you hear? They're already pivoting away from high-speed rail, and are now planning to build high-speed BUSES.

It isn’t merely “social programs”.
A “high trust” society isn’t a luxury or just one of those “nice things to have”, it is the pre-requisite for a functioning society. It doesn’t guarantee it, by any means. Without it, however, there is no chance.
You have to lock up the crooks. Not the toothpaste.

But if the goal was simply to commandeer tax dollars for distribution to politically-connected constituencies then I'd imagine those with that goal are probably quite pleased.

There is no incentive for anyone to complete the stupid thing. The politicians and proponents have no doubt seen survey results indicating not enough people will buy tickets to even cover the (unionized) operating costs. Better to keep promising the Moon and get paid every year until forever, than delivering a failure you'll be pressed to explain.

_________________________________
DeSantis is correct, but I would add that a bigger part of the high-speed rail project was to confiscate generational farmland, private property and high value properties through eminent domain. As of this year, the State of California has laid claim on over 800 properties in the name of the high-speed rail.
When the project finally tanks, California will turn to their cronie developers as prospective buyers.

Organized? Yes, for sure. But not great intelligence or cunning is needed. The Somali scam was just another government-benefits scam of the type that has been going on since there were government benefits.
The Italian, Jewish, and Russian mobs have been scamming benefits for decades. The names may change, but the scam stays the same.
What was different about the Somali scam was the size and scope, which was made possible by insanely stupid covid spending and lack of oversight. But even then, it wasn't just the Somalis stuffing their faces with stolen loot. It was mostly the Russian mob in LA stealing all the hospice money.
Probably 50% of every dollar spent on "healthcare" in the last 5 years was stolen.

It’s a shame we don’t hang those who prove to be corrupt thieves in charge of the public purse. Apparently there are no deterrents any longer, no accountability, no responsibility, no punishment.
What would you expect to happen, then? Politicians have a license to steal. You’ll see this at the very local forms of government all the way down to the county level.
Some accountant gets busted for stealing a half million dollars. Gets 3 hours in-home probation or whatever. Even if they get say, astonishingly a year in jail - there’s no shortage of people who are willing to go to jail for 500 large.
Innmy home state some broad was convicted of Arson, destroyed 3 homes, nearly killed people.
Probation. Arson is easily among the most heinous of crimes. It is historically a Capital offense, and with good reason.

Probation. Arson is easily among the most heinous of crimes. It is historically a Capital offense, and with good reason.

So the only the person the Feds name, once again, has been known about for over a year. They are just dredging up old instances of already found fraud and making noise about them. Anything to distract us from the files right?
They're just taking revenge on the Somali community for existing, essentially. Because they dared survive accusations of eating the cats and the dogs. This is usually how fascists operate.
There might be fraud, there might not be, who knows? The problem is the Trump administration has absolutely zero credibility. They've lied about everything, so why should I believe this? The only legitimate action anybody in the Trump administration can take, up to and including the president, is to resign.

Caltrans considering 140 mph bus that would take passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles
---
Ho lee fuk--the amount of fraud and stupid it takes to even think of that.
Distance to SF and LA: 383 miles
Formula 1 average speed: 130-165
Tire changes in F1: every 110-160 miles
so, magical tires that'd be the envy of every racer in the world.
And that's before the mechanical limits of pushing a bus at 140--how many HP will that engine have to push?
To say nothing of the fuel costs.

"Sure, let's make a sequel to a surprisingly successful film. But we'll spend way too much money on a dumb script that has nothing to do with the original movie. Then we'll shoot it all jerky and kinetic so the audience can barely see what's going on. Sounds great, right? Well, we haven't even told you the best part! The star of the original movie, the guy who basically made the movie work, isn't gonna be in the sequel! See? Genius!"

It's very New York actor setpiece, Louis Malle kind of just finding something to make with his actors while they did Uncle Vanya in apartments, which ended up being prep for Vanya on 42nd Street.
Just an interesting conversation well acted.

Original Highlander was awesome, one of the best action flicks of the 80s. The Kurgan was one of the best movie villains ... ever.
The movie was also very well shot too. Russell Mulcahy can shoot a movie. Too bad he's a mentally-ill homosexual.
Fun fact: Mulcahy was hired to direct Rambo III. He went to Israel (where the film was shot) to cast the Russian baddies. Stallone specifically wanted big bruiser types who looked like they ate lead and shit bullets.
Who does Mulcahy hire? A bunch of flamingly gay Israeli male models who he was obviously casting-couching. Stallone was like "wtf?????" He then fired Mulcahy.

Remember when you wanted Biden to round up people for not getting the clot shot and send them to concentration camps and the slightly saner Dems said the president can't just round up people for no reason and you called them racist science denying NAZIs?
See this is why we have laws and give people trials. You as a private person can see the evidence laid out in the case, review what the judge does, and watch the system try to prove these people are guilty of breaking an actual criminal statuette beyond a reasonable doubt.

Will any MN politico face consequences?

She wasn't just charged. She was convicted. Her sentence as laid out by the judge is 41 years.
Yes, a jury trial led to a massive conviction against an AWFL progressive, but I've been assured that all jury trials are just like the 1/6 trials in DC.
The time for negotiating over her sentence was months ago before the trial. I bet she gave some stuff up and this is a reduced sentence.

They are good at doing the General American accent, and exaggerated Brooklyn accents.
And Aussies are generally incapable of effecting any type accent other than Aussie, except Toni Collette, who can pretty much do any accent.

I like historical movies, so showing a different side of a historical figure is something I usually like - for example the coming Young Washington.
But...the Phoenix Napoleon movie was focused on what a horny dog Nappy was which, true or false, is an odd focus for a movie.

Posted by: Martini Farmer
If you watch the news report about the high-speed bus carefully, at the end they say,"Oh, yeah, and if 140mph isn't feasible, then the buses will go 80 mph instead."
Uhhhh...most traffic on Highway 5 already goes ~80mph. So what they're talking about is spending tens of billions of dollars to re-invent...the Greyhound bus system. Which already exists. And which nobody ever rides.

The reason why Americans don't really do good British accents is because, they don't have to, generally, most movies are made for the American box office, and if you need a genuine British accent, there are numerous British actors you can cast.
The reason British actors can do American accents well, is they have to.

209 The white chick the Feds arrested and charged with "masterminding" the Minnesota - Somali pirates fraud, one Aimee Bock, is facing 41 years in prison and a healthy fine.
What are the odds she rolls over on some of the others involved to mitigate her sentence?
Will any MN politico face consequences?
Posted by: Martini Farmer at May 22, 2026 12:54 PM (jehhT)
My take is the 41 year sentence is a message to others who will be arrested, to quickly roll over on their higher-ups. Or else. I'm sure the prosecutors and whatever pro bono defense attorneys they get will tell them, numerous times, there is no parole in the Federal system.

There is some argument about that. Colonial language is supposed to be more conservative than the home country, but this is based on a number of assumptions. One is that the Metropole is the leading force behind language change and conservation of accent in the colonies which is based on the Spanish in South America model and was an element of the relatively high status "Spaniards" had in the new world as opposed to the "criollos" who were born in the Americas. It ignores the various parochial accents that were also the home accents when there was less sending home of young men for education in the home country.
There has been a lot of linguistic innovation and multi culti mixing in the colonies as well, not just static conservatism.

The real problem with the later reacher shows is the production sales look cheap, and they slip in a lot of girlbossy type stuff decentering reacher. Like when the bad boston accent lady bangs reacher then pats him on the head and sends him on his way and fust bumps neagly.

The real problem with the later reacher shows is the production sales look cheap, and they slip in a lot of girlbossy type stuff decentering reacher. Like when the bad boston accent lady bangs reacher then pats him on the head and sends him on his way and fust bumps neagly.

Jonathan Pryce shows up as a grandfather of actor Jack Lowden (as River Cartwright) one of the leads in the TV series "Slow Horses" (which I highly recommend -- and I can never get enough Gary Oldman -- time to rewatch Leon: The Professional).

TRAITOR: Leader Thune just sent the Senate home for a 12 day paid vacation but he’s having one senator stay behind to gavel in every three days to block Trump from making recess appointments. No other president has had his own party use pro forma sessions against him.

Reminder:
It takes a floor vote to go into recess. Think a majority of the Senate would vote for it?
Also, Biden got no recess appointments because of a SCOTUS decision from the 2010s that said that recesses need to be fully 10 days to count.

Yeah, I don't get the modern production schedule for television these days.
They crank out only 8-10 episodes for a season and wait YEARS between seasons.
It used to be a season was 22-24 episodes and studios would crank them out year after year like clockwork.

413 Still, the last time he won statewide there were 400,000 more Democrats in NC than Republicans. There are now 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats. That's quite a switch.
Did that come from a clean up of the voter rolls or just 400K new GOP registrations?

Both.
The trend in the state has been Republicans gaining registrations over Democrats for about a year and a half.

There have also been cleanups (usually forced by lawsuit). Last one I heard about was 100,000 last year.
Active voter registration advantage is even more. Over 100,000 more active Republicans than Democrats.

The President has been on a run, punishing the GOP. He has the momentum to decapitate the Senate GOP.
Taking their Queen off the board, McConnell's anointed Cuckmaster, would signal their defeat like little else could, and terrorize the others into submission.

Well, registrations indicate that, in the aggregate, it's getting more Republican.
And historically registered independents lean much more heavily in NC towards the GOP than Democrats in the state.

Thune was picked as Turtle's replacement.
The Turtle clique has taken some hits during the last two years:
Turtle is quitting
Cornyn was beaten by a MAGA candidate
Murkowski is (or threatening) leaving the GOP to go independent.
Tillis is out
Probably some more RINOs are on the list. Thune might be fighting for his job as Majority Leader in January, 2027.

THE MORNING RANT: Election Prediction Markets Are Now Push-Poll Mechanisms, not Gauges of Likely Election Results
When partisans move a betting line in the hope it will affect the election’s outcome, that is like snagging a fishing line so as to pull the bobber under water, and then pronouncing that a fish is about to be reeled in.
— Buck Throckmorton (@BuckThrockmort) May 3, 2026
Volkswagen’s U.S.-made ID.4, an all-electric car, was such a sales flop that when VW became desperate to unload its glut of unsold units, it offered a $99 lease promotion. But even at $99 per month, Americans still found the price to be about $99 too high, as the unsaleable ID.4 became America’s slowest-selling car. If Americans will not drive an electric Volkswagen for $99 per month, there is zero chance they will buy a Chinese EV of dubious quality at any price. (U.S. production of VW’s ID.4 has since been permanently suspended.)This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

If Americans won’t lease a Volkswagen EV for $99 per month, they’re certainly not clamoring for a BYD hatchback.https://t.co/DIhTssCNOA

Betting markets have no special knowledge.
They are, at best, second order knowledge based on overall narratives and polling. They're also small markets making them easy to manipulate by people with money and incentive, like campaigns.
And the overall vibes that directly feed into them can be very wrong.
The switch on the Massie primary fight, which happened literally the evening of the election, is the most recent ground zero. It was actually a fairly decently sized market for this sort of thing, and it relied more on Baris' bullshit poll and the online vibe than anything about the actual district.
Honestly, it's just a place to make money against braindead white progressives.

Seconded.
Their current tactic is to use AI to initiate the call. Once you answer the AI question, you'll be passed through to "Steve" who will gladly take down your personal information for a new Medicaid benefit you've just received!
I can't even answer my phone anymore.

LBJ used the CIA to get intelligence on the Goldwater campaign, whatever Nixon’s faults, he wasn’t doing anything that previous presidents had done before. It was a manufactured controversy in that sense. FDR played hardball against political adversaries. It’s always been that way.
Manipulation of public opinion and politics of personal destruction goes way back. That’s one thing that makes Mr. Trump remarkable, we’ve seen the full weapons system arrayed against him, finely tuned with centuries of experience aligned against him.

This is why "The Beekeeper" was such a well-received movie. My 91 year old parents stumbled onto it and loved it -- and they hate violence.
Sure, the bad guy had to be a privileged white guy (Hollywood wokeness), but it was so wonderful to see scammy call centers get burned to the ground -- we could all relate.

Political pundits on WBAP here in Dallas keep shrieking that high gas prices are going to drive Republicans out of power in the House of Representatives. I keep asking, "Who thinks Democrats are the answer to high gas prices?" I would love to hear this argument fleshed out. Still haven't received an answer.

That's pretty obvious. The main problem was the Presidential power "had fallen into Republican hands".
It's now been unclassified that JFK--just as Nixon had indicated--had wiretapped a bunch of people.
Trump ain't the first Republican president to get the DC treatment.

If they could sell one with "good ratings" for $10k, I'd be tempted. Need to use my solar panels more fully. But it might be hard to find real ratings, not scam ratings originating in China.

BUT, there is a huge difference between Japan and Chinese goods- Japan is absolutely FANATICAL (one might even say Kamikazi) about QUALITY.
Example: Seating for Lexus when I first started in the auto industry had a large mechanical component built IN Japan. 999 times out of a thousand we never had a problem. IF on the very rare occasion we did, the supplier asked that the entire rack of parts be shipped back to them at their expense. And I know what they did with it. They stripped the rack down, found the issue and then got the guy who made it and showed it to him. And he felt SHAME. I've seen it happen. Not a 'positive failure' culture.

The black vote percentage of GA's electorate shrinks a little bit more every cycle because the baby bust for blacks started a lot longer ago than the baby bust for white progressives, and the younger blacks vote at a lot lower rates than older blacks, and the older blacks, the Civil Rights Era, are dying like flies now because they're real old.
A senate race should also help pick up turnout in the rurals.
Governor should be likely Republican. Senator might be tossup (because of Ossoff's incumbency), but I think it's actually lean Republican.

>>Aside from Americans’ general preference for vehicle size, those who do purchase small, inexpensive cars in the U.S. are demographically not good candidates for EV ownership. Small car buyers in the U.S. tend to be less affluent and somewhat transient, whereas EV-ownership almost necessitates that at-home charging is possible. The demographic that can charge an EV at home is homeowners and luxury condo dwellers, but this is also the demographic that buys Tesla and other luxury marques, not cheap cars.
Well said!
Small cars are city cars, and our progressive city planners are doing everything they can to make car ownership a PITA, such as no longer requiring developers to include parking for their high-density housing and 'traffic calming' measures that turn entire lanes of usable (necessary) road into bicycle lanes.

Sometimes the 20-1 horse wins the race. But usually the 3-1 horse wins.
Thats how Kalshi works. You can always find examples where a candidate was at 30% and week out and won. But most of the time, the candidate at 70% wins. 30% is not 0%. So it will happen sometimes.
The in between stuff like 58% Brown example is basically a coin toss.

The black vote percentage of GA's electorate shrinks a little bit more every cycle because the baby bust for blacks started a lot longer ago than the baby bust for white progressives, and the younger blacks vote at a lot lower rates than older blacks, and the older blacks, the Civil Rights Era, are dying like flies now because they're real old.
However, it's worth noting that Hispanics now comprise 12% of GA's population. I don't know how many of those are eligible to vote, though.

Humans are herd animals. Propaganda has many components, but one application is to try and get the enemy to believe he is vastly outnumbered.
Published polling historically has been used to great effect this way. Your fellow citizens by huge margins believe “X”, you on the other hand believe “Y”, and you are on the fringe with your extremist hateful views. All the Good People believe the Good Things.

A senate race should also help pick up turnout in the rurals.
Governor should be likely Republican. Senator might be tossup (because of Ossoff's incumbency), but I think it's actually lean Republican.

Ok. Let's accept that as true. So that means there are 0 illegals now right? Or...could you imagine Jews trying to sneak INTO Germany in the 40s because they'd get Hitlercare and Hitlerphones?

It has long been my suspicion that polls are intentionally skewed so that election fraud is not surprising. If a GOP candidate is 15% in the polls, then election shenanigans that put the Dem candidate ahead would look suspicious.
I see it as a 'tell' that there will be fraud (as with that gal's obviously false poll) as well as an attempt to manufacture belief that the Dem win is inevitable.

The main game of polling is the "September tightening".
Two person race, you can say literally anything for more than a year. And then, "the electorate starts paying attention," and you throw out random numbers between 45 and 55 because the final result of anything remotely competitive is going to be between 47-53 points, so the 45-55 numbers are always within or close to the MoE.
And then you can say that Quinnipac, or whatever, that got kind of close in the last poll, is always right even though their year of polls before were wildly different from the last one.
Anyone who compares a Spring poll to a final result poll is either a retard or a liar. Mostly, it's retards, though.

The switch on the Massie primary fight, which happened literally the evening of the election, is the most recent ground zero. It was actually a fairly decently sized market for this sort of thing, and it relied more on Baris' bullshit poll and the online vibe than anything about the actual district.

LOL at Robert Barnes betting $10k that Massie would win.
Then blocking anyone who took him up on that bet.
And telling his readers no one took him up.
While now going quadruple-or-nothing on the Rs will lose the House, the Senate and several governor seats in November.

Governor's races have a habit of being far less directly partisan than federal statewide races (Romney in MA, Hogan in MD, Stein in NC). The senate race will probably see the GOPer running a few points ahead of Vivek, but Acton is such a fucking nightmare that Vivek probably pulls it off.
Because Vivek, as governor, would have no say on H1-B policy since that's a federal matter, and any emphasis on bringing in Indians he could do Acton would also do in addition to trying to bring in everyone else at the same time (while also having the history of being ground zero of the worst Ohio COVID policies).

If they could sell one with "good ratings" for $10k, I'd be tempted. Need to use my solar panels more fully. But it might be hard to find real ratings, not scam ratings originating in China.

The footage of manufacturing standards in China is terrifying. Chinese EVs are poorly constructed death traps, far more likely to lock the doors and burst into flame than give you reliable transportation.
The segments on Chinese "Tofu Dregs" construction are also nightmare fuel. Those 70-story highrises you see are uninhabitable. The stairwells fall out of the building. The balconies collapse. The concrete...isn't really concrete. God helps us if they took the same shortcuts with the Seven Gorges Dam.

Because in years without massive fraud less then half the voters turn out.
If slightly more R or D turn out that will generally decide the election.

A point to consider - objectively Bass should have retired after the fires. It used to be pols were afraid of screwing up that badly. And the party would be there to force the issue too.
But...no fear here whatsoever.
So I think Pratt will win the votes of actual citizens and still lose. It will be close...but they will produce however many votes Bass needs to win
Schlichter has a good column on this topic today. BLUF: It isn't the cheating, it's the sheeple who simply refuse to change the way they vote, no matter how bad things get.

======
Midterm elections usually have somewhere around 65-70% turnout.
Presidential elections get to about 80-85%.
Senate races drive up turnout closer to presidential levels in the states that have them, though.

Amazon is doing a weird thing. They make book suggestions based on who knows what, "on your recent activity". Sure pal, sure. How do they know that? What I shop for? I've been monitoring pc case prices and AIO cpu liquid coolers. So based on that what are they showing me? Basically a smorgasbord of all the hip nazi influencer books. A lot of P Buchanan, and A Solzhenitsyn's "200 Years Together", and it gets worse from there.

It is a huge mistake to believe China cannot make quality.
They will make anything you want, at a price point. If you want shitty screws at a shitty price, they will provide shitty screws.
Japan first entered the market in the USA in a big way through AM radios and B/W Televisions. They had a reputation of making cheap stuff. Toys mostly, the fake plastic camera that was really a squirt gun, that kind of thing. The consensus was “what’s the harm in them selling a few TVs, we can relax tariffs for those. No big deal.”

Sports gambling is a cancer and should be banned again. Not just because it introduces the potential for corruption into every contest, but it also frankly sucks all the fun out of what should be an escape from your day-to-day life. I can't watch a golf tournament without hearing what the odds on so-and-so are and seeing 4000 commercials about where I can place my wagers.
Just fuck off and enjoy the thing without having some monetary stake in it that you're 1) probably going to lose and 2) someone else is making money off of it.

This is the theme of several of Spencer Pratt's newest ads (well, whomever made them). People are sitting around talking, and bit by bit, it becomes apparent that they're all voting Pratt, but were afraid to say so due to social ostracism.

It has long been my suspicion that polls are intentionally skewed so that election fraud is not surprising. If a GOP candidate is 15% in the polls, then election shenanigans that put the Dem candidate ahead would look suspicious.
---
I like the supposition that the only reason polls ever end up close to accurate is due to all the Dem cheating.
Consider the oft-cited case of FL:
Just modest election integrity reforms and enforcement flipped the state from purple to deep, deep red.*
*but the Dem candidate is totally going to win this fall, the polls show him ahead!!!

As it turned out, Japanese televisions were quite good, reliable, and affordable. Color televisions were much more expensive at the time. Just about everyone had a TV in the 1960s, though not a Color Television.

How do they not both burst into flames? In any case, Putin is getting desperate.
Putin, Xi signal unity but fail to reach deal on pipeline sought by Russia
However, the two leaders, who are longtime allies but also uneasy neighbors, were united in portraying themselves as stabilizing forces seeking to counter chaos unleashed by the United States in recent months.
In a joint statement, Xi and Putin condemned what they called “treacherous military strikes against other countries, the hypocritical use of negotiations as cover for preparing such strikes, the assassination of leaders of sovereign states, the destabilization of the domestic political situation in these states and the provocation of regime change, and the brazen kidnapping of national leaders for trial.”
https://tinyurl.com/5bjtdrep
“Unilateral hegemony is rampant,” Xi said, according to a Chinese government readout of the meeting, in a clear dig at the United States.

It does seem the lefties with money to lose believe both polls and prediction markets can be used as a tool to discourage conservative voters and keep enough away from the polls to help their candidates.

140 IN my own experience with these people they certainly don't learn, I've listed plenty of experiences where the leftwing pols they support run on a platform, win, implement it and the LIVs complain and blame someone else.
But...I also notice that unlike the HIV leftwingers I know, the LIVs don't walk around on election day showing everyone their "I Voted" sticker.

I've had coworkers like that. They'll complain about a Democrat, and I've asked why they vote for them if they never do what they want, and they just say "Well, who else am I going to vote for? I can't vote for a Republican! They only care about rich people!"
You can't get through to them.

I've bought a few Vevor items, and they have performed OK, and are usually about half the price of the name brands. But for a $10K item, it would have to have a proven record. I paid $11k for an "Envy" golf cart EV (supposedly made in USA, or is it "assembled" here?) and it has been trouble, but lead acid batteries so at least no fires.

I was an early convert. I looked at new Pinto, Vega, Cricket in 1973. Didn't like them. Bought a one-year old Toyota Corona. More room, better ride, handling, gas mileage, a zippy little thing. The Toyota "R" series of engines were much better than any 4 cylinder American cars for decades. Still have one, a 1987 little Grand Ville motor home on a Toyota dually chassis. Has a 22RE engine and runs like a top.

I've purchased and driven for work three used Honda CR-Vs (85,000 miles/year). The first, a 2001, had a costly known issue of valves being burnt -- but still got 250,000 miles out of it.
Got over 300,000 miles out of a 2004 and 2006.

"Alberta to hold fall referendum on whether to have binding referendum on separating from Canada.... Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she plans to vote in favour of Alberta staying in Canada"
So they are going to have a referendum on whether to have a referendum...
Can we now stop talking about the always-ridiculous idea that Alberta will ever separate from Canada? It will *never* be allowed.

But their Twitter polls of Bangaledshi incels predicted Massie's win!
The best part of Baris' nonsense was that he went from "Massie is going to win easily" to "it's a 50/50 race and the polls showing him losing by 10 are fake" to "I put money on Massie's opponent at 5-10 cents per share and won."

Posted by: Common Tater at May 22, 2026 11:36 AM (TgO2L)
I think it is an accurate belief. China and Japan have vast cultural differences, to the point that I believe China is literally incapable of developing a trustworthy materials market. There will always be someone making the cheapest material possible, trying to pass it off as the most expensive one he can get away with.
For example, China is trying to develop a domestic version of SpaceX's reusable rockets, but I have heard that their engines are much bigger and heavier -- because they cannot trust the metal. And that's in a high-visibility, national prestige application! Everything else must be even worse.

Jamie Dimon says JPMorgan will hire more AI braniacs, fewer bankers
Artificial intelligence is poised to drastically shrink the workforce at the nation’s largest bank, but the transition will happen without the pain of mass layoffs, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Thursday.
In an interview in Shanghai, the renowned money man told Bloomberg that AI will make his employees vastly more productive.
While the technology will ultimately reduce the need for certain jobs, Dimon said the bank will manage the shift through “natural attrition” — simply not filling the positions of the 25,000 to 30,000 workers who quit or retire each year.

Domestic Chinese "brands" allow a much larger margin for error in quality than US or European manufacturing (as scarce as it is)
They also use poorer quality components or cheaper materials wherever they can get away with it. It's the volume that makes the money, not the quality.

"discusses the preposterous media narrative that Americans will fall in love with Chinese EVs if/when they hit the U.S. market, and that Chinese auto manufacturers will capture significant U.S. market share"
It's actually not that preposterous. Chinese EVs took over the UK and European markets almost overnight. Sure, it took billions and billions of investment -- mostly by the Chinese government or its remoras -- and buildout of charging systems, but they did it. Almost overnight.
Chinese EVs aren't shit. They are probably better than 90% of American and Euro EVs. That's because they are American and Euro EVs. The Chinese did what the Chinese always do: steal the tech, improve it, and sell it cheaper than Western competition because of massive government subsidies.

When the Eclipse changed their model in the Mid-late 90s, the old model became the Eagle Talon.

They did improve it. For one thing, they have EVs that can do battery-swaps at battery-swap stations in about 5 minutes. Drive into the station with a low battery, and in 5 minutes you'll have a new, fully-charged battery. Potentially revolutionary.

107 57 "Americans will fall in love with Chinese EVs if/when they hit the U.S. market, and that Chinese auto manufacturers will capture significant U.S. market share."
If they could sell one with "good ratings" for $10k, I'd be tempted. Need to use my solar panels more fully. But it might be hard to find real ratings, not scam ratings originating in China.

I highly recommend watching, "The China Show" on YouTube. Two men who lived for extended periods in China, both fluent in Mandarin, examine everyday life in China. The footage of manufacturing standards in China is terrifying. Chinese EVs are poorly constructed death traps, far more likely to lock the doors and burst into flame than give you reliable transportation.
The segments on Chinese "Tofu Dregs" construction are also nightmare fuel. Those 70-story highrises you see are uninhabitable. The stairwells fall out of the building. The balconies collapse. The concrete...isn't really concrete. God helps us if they took the same shortcuts with the Seven Gorges Dam.

His given name was Simon Pietersz van Zwet Bolleweck
I can see why he changed it to de Vlieger ("The Flyer.")
Yeah, "Of Sweaty Ballsack" would be tough to grow up with.

Back in my early 20s I was the warehouse manager of a discount store. One day the manager, assistant manager and I were talking and the store manager was complaining about how one of the stockboys took way to long to do anything. He said "Anything I give him to do, he turns it into a three hour chore."
After a beat, all three of us in perfect unison sang "A three hour chore." It was hivemind at its finest.

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 615
On the left the horizon line dissolves into a vast, becalmed sea, while fishermen ply their trade on the right. De Vlieger influenced later marine painters by working with a limited tonal range to achieve precisely calibrated effects of light in the sky and water. His observations of Northern European light established him as the master of a particularly local landscape, affirmed by the Dutch flag fluttering above the boat on the right.
Thanks. (Nice weekend start.)

British judge praises good behavior of teens who gangraped two girls, lets them off without jail time
. . . .
Two 14-year-old boys targeted one of their victims, 15, on Snapchat before luring her to an underpass where they laughed and filmed themselves as they raped her.
Two months later the pair, this time joined by a third boy aged just 13, gang-raped a second schoolgirl at knifepoint while again recording the attack on their phones as they goaded each other to degrade her further.
. . . .
Two of the boys raped her for 90 minutes.
She said her tormentors 'kept switching', taking turns to abuse her, and laughing at her as they filmed each other.

This is a great painting to end the week. The artist really captured the feel of the ocean sky, the way the clouds form with the rising moisture from the sea and no breeze to disperse them. I can easily sense the quiet accentuated by the gentle water and occasional sounds from the boat. The gray color scheme ties sky and water together and makes the muted earth tones of the boat stand out without being jarring to the viewer. Everything is soft and gentle. It is delightfully peaceful.
It's worth enlarging the image to see the supple and delicate brush work. I need to see more of de Vlieger's art. Another example of why I consider the Dutch Golden Age paintings to be some of the greatest ever made.

If people were saying the immigration system was broken because court cases took too long, then wouldn’t Trump adding 82 new immigration judges be considered a good thing?
It is good that new judges are being added but why did it take almost a year to do so? A good executive would've have the necessary support structure built and ready to go before executing the round-up phase of the project.
Simply put, the current admin's aim was to never fix it in the first place.
Republicans are trying to break the system even more by stacking the courts with reich wing ideologue hell bent on harming real Americans and innocent brown people by filling concentrations camps like the Nazis did.
It speeds up the type of immigration enforcement Trump and conservatives want. Don’t forget what they tried to do to Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The funny thing is that this could've happened back in 2024 with the Border Act of 2024 that was trying to legislatively resolve this issue. What happen? MAGA Republicans relented to Trump's crying and blocked this bill from passing.

Garcia has no legal right to be in America, had a bullshit asylum claim, and as that fight has been dragged out in a district court with no jurisdiction, literally hundreds of thousands of others have been forcibly deported.

Damn Christian dads!
In a new interview with Variety, Alcock discussed the backlash surrounding her rise to the lead role in DC Studios’ upcoming “Supergirl” movie and said she has learned to tune out online outrage as scrutiny around blockbuster franchises intensifies.
“But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about?” Alcock said. “If you’re p—ing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”
The actress suggested much of the hostility directed toward her comes from faceless social media users reacting emotionally online.
“And it’s from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts,” Alcock said. “Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me.”

CNN: Francesca Hong, a leading Democrat in the Wisconsin governor’s race, called for abolishing the police.
Hong, a 37-year-old state representative and democratic socialist, wrote on Twitter in 2020 she supported “defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.”
She later argued in 2021 that “police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can’t be an option.”

I’ll give you “hubris” and “ignorance”, a modern day academic criticising Jefferson.
It used to be axiomatic with historians that you cannot hold historical figures to modern sensibilities. “I am smarter, better, than he was, I wouldn’t have done that, I would have done this, etc etc.”
There’s absolutely no way to know what you would have done at that time, and that place. Plus, hindsight is 20/20.

The Morning Report — 5/ 22/26
Here is a complete rap sheet of this friggin' termite courtesy of the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks. Besides running a teenage male prostitution ring out of his home, he was one of the key architects in the collapse of the housing market and the tanking of our economy in 2008 among other Democrat/Leftist catastrophes that we are still digging our way out from the rubble lo these many years later... His worldview and voting record over the ouse of his career are a testament to Democrat/Leftist scietal destruction in pursuit of absolute power. Period full stop. Odd that on his deathbed he publicly chastised his party for the positions it held and advanced. Nearer my God to Thee or an attempt at taqqiya sunrising to prevent future Democrat electoral wipeouts?
Barney Frank Warns the Left is Destroying Democrats . . ."Many of my colleagues who I know agree with me but are inhibited from saying so.”As I recall the spoof ditty created by Rush Limbaugh to the tune of Abba's "Dancing Queen" referring to Frank as The Banking Queen, let us move on to the next subject in the "Conga Line of Freaks" per old Yeller Mark Levin, shall we?
Congressional Democrats are moving to shut down President Donald Trump’s proposed $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, escalating a political fight over compensation for Americans who say they were targeted by politically motivated prosecutions and federal lawfare. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is introducing legislation aimed at preventing any federal money from being used to create or distribute payments through the fund. . . At the same time, some establishment Republicans are also voicing opposition to the fund. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick told reporters Wednesday that he would “try to kill” the program. . . . Supporters of the fund argue it represents a long-overdue effort to compensate Americans harmed by politically driven prosecutions and abuses of government power. Critics, meanwhile, claim the program would improperly use taxpayer money to compensate individuals tied to controversial investigations, including those connected to the January 6 Capitol protest. Two law enforcement officers who were present at the Capitol on Jan. 6 have already filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the fund entirely.Well as to Jamie Raskin, Cancer is as cancer does. He and his party led by Malig-Nancy Pelosi either directly engineered and orchestrated the events of 1/6 or else created the conditions and fiction that Trump was inciting an insurrection when it was in fact an entrapment sting to create that pretext and illusion to oppress and suppress the enemies of the Left and Deep State. And GOP confederates like Fitzpatrick et al are equally guilty of perpetuating the corrupt status quo regardless of the consequences to the American people and Republic. And speaking of which that brings us to the next diseased turd floating by in the punchbowl...
The Senate is heading home until June without finishing a reconciliation bill, after Republican tensions over the package coincided with President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). Brendan Pedersen, a senior reporter with Punchbowl News, posted on X: “Thune asked if Senate Rs are responding to politics — ie, Trump endorsements and snubs this week ‘It’s hard to divorce anything that happens here from what’s happening in political atmosphere around us,’ Thune said. ‘You can’t disconnect those things.’”While Republican Senators publicly claim substantive issues with the bill were the driving factor behind the early vacation, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) acknowledged President Donald Trump’s Tuesday endorsement of Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) weighed heavily on Republican Senators’ minds as they skipped town instead of advancing a top Trump priority as planned.Yes, the Barney Franks, Jamie Raskins and Malig-Nancy Pelosis we are afflicted with are horrid enough but Thune and his ilk and their criminal fecklessness and naked, shameless collusion with them and farcical kabuki "opposition" as is embodied in the likes of JOHN THUNE and sadly many like him all over the GOP is why our nation is circling the drain, or at least was until enough decent people said enough is enough and elected a man who to greater or lesser extent recognized that were headed off a cliff and now 11 years since descending the golden Trump Tower escalator, he has almost singlehandedly at a minimum put the brakes on and has attempted to throw us in reverse. We shall see if MAGA is indeed the start of the movement for American renaissance or merely a speed bump on the road to Hell. The rejection of Thomas Massie will go a long way but it's only a start!
Thomas Massie’s defeat in Kentucky’s Republican primary was not merely the fall of one Republican congressman. It was the collapse of an illusion -- an illusion that has grown inside parts of America’s online Right over the past few years: that a few million followers, a handful of popular podcasts, several viral clips, and some anti-establishment slogans can replace party machinery, voter loyalty, local networks, money, organization, and real political power. Kentucky shattered that illusion. Not in a television debate, not in an intellectual quarrel, not in another online shouting match, but in the one place where politics strips away fantasy and reveals itself: the ballot box.Just like the Leftists, you can expect the voices on the Right to become even more shrill, vulgar and vituperative in their attacks on all of us than even the most strident of Lefties. Whom we are at long last rejecting for their duplicity and fraudulence in foisting RINO globalists and big government stooges on us. It will be a long time in coming but when all of them are gone from the scene, it will be glorious. Have a relaxing, fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!

An alleged accomplice, an Afghan national identified as Tawab M., also was arrested there in November. Federal prosecutors said they filed an indictment against the pair at the Hamburg state court on May 7.

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen were confronted by an aggressive man who accused them of faking the moon mission.
'Stop lying! Stop acting! You all never went to space,' the man shouted as he filmed himself approaching the crew.
The befuddled crew simply stood in uncomfortable silence as the man berated them, apparently trying their best to pretend he wasn't there.
The man continued: 'Follow Jesus! God's watching you all!'
As Glover smiled and gave an uneasy wave, he went on: 'Stop lying to the public! Your psyop isn't working on millions of us! NASA's a joke!'

Finally, someone has seen the light:Bolt CEO fires his entire HR team because they “created problems that didn’t exist”, and “those problems disappeared when I let them go”. Welcome to the party, pal.Ryan Breslow, the co-founder and chief executive of US fintech firm Bolt, said the department was scrapped as part of sweeping layoffs aimed at returning the struggling business to “start-up mode”.The 32-year-old added that HR professionals were more suited to “peacetime” conditions at larger companies rather than a start-up environment focused on rapid growth and efficiency.

In the span of just a few weeks, Carolina Republicans have given us two of the most tone-deaf, out-of-touch, and clueless statements of all time.
First, the SC state senate Republican majority leader, blocking redistricting, because SC needs a "vibrant" Democrat Party.
Then Tillis, sputtering in anger how it's "tyranny " to take his money and give it to something he "vehemently " disagrees with.

Amputation rates are on the rise — especially among a surprising at-risk population
Over the six-year period, amputations rose overall, by 35.3% (from 58.9 to 79.7 per 10,000 people). But among patients whose cases involved opioids, the increase was dramatically steeper, climbing by 66% (from 55.6 to 92.3 per 10,000).
The sharpest spikes in opioid-related amputations were seen in parts of the Northeast and West.

Austria’s parliament has approved legislation introducing caps on the number of family members able to join refugees each year, marking a significant shift in the country’s migration policy. The quota system is expected to take effect from July, though officials have not yet set a fixed number, saying it will depend on Austria’s reception and integration.

Denmark has led some of the strictest asylum legislation in Europe. The center-right government of Mette Frederiksen has claimed that limiting the number of foreigners in the country is necessary for maintaining a generous welfare state. The Danish Refugee Council says this is causing a lot of uncertainty and anxiety among refugees. A historically low number of asylum approvals were granted by the Danish authorities in 2025.

WaPo:
In 2020, just 246 people tried to sneak into Poland from Belarus through the marshy wetlands on the border, according to the Polish government’s records. There was a pandemic on, after all. But over the following year, almost 40,000 migrants from Syria, Somalia, Iran, Afghanistan, India and other countries crossed or attempted to cross this frontier. Those migrants didn’t end up in Belarus by accident. Some were carrying Russian visas or entry stamps. Russia and its ally — some would say lackey — Belarus were, in effect, importing migrants, delivering them to the Polish-Belarusian border and telling them to head to Poland.

The insane thing is the comments section . It literally looks like it could be from Stormfront. This nation is in a world of hurt

“At times, it seems Democrats are trying to win arguments while Republicans are focused on winning elections. Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage. This highlights a fundamental and necessary truth — a brutal and efficiently delivered message will frame the choice for voters and help actually win the election,” the report reads.

Not quite sure how this compensation fund will work legally but good luck. It would be easier legally for DOJ to pay out Trump and Trump could set up his own fund for DOJ victims.

Thank you JJ. So glad a long Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us.
The senate is worse than the house… mainly because of simple math: smaller numbers. A Congress critter in the house is 1 of 435… a senator is 1 of 100 and they have 6 year terms (3 x that of a house member).
I’m convinced Cassidy in Louisiana voted to convict Trump in that impeachment trial because he thought to himself: I just won by 40 and everyone will forget in 6 years. PDJT didn’t forget hehe
But this process of prying and crowbarring the RINOs out is long… so long

>>Senate Abandons Trump’s ICE, Border Funding Bill for Early Vacation; Thune Admits Paxton Endorsement Played Role
It played the leading role.
And if you go back and look at the days after J6 some "Republicans" including Cornyn were the most vociferous in demanding that the J6 patsies be dealt with harshly. The don't want to admit they were either wrong or complicit. Because they hate us.
They had no problem advocating their fellow Senators got huge settlements from the feds for Wray spying on them, they just don't want us peasants getting justice.

I once responded to one of Tillis' questionnaires a few years ago.
I indicated one of my top issues was weaponization of the federal government .
Now he is griping about the Anti-Weaponization Fund.
The irony!

The author of the DNC autopsy believes Democrats were too hesitant to put President Donald Trump in prison.
“The retrospective evaluation of Donald Trump’s presidency was too positive. Given the ability of right-wing entities to slash and smear the Vice President, it was essential to prosecute a more effective case as to why Trump should have been disqualified from ever again taking office. The grounds were there, but the messaging did not make sense.”
Never mind that Trump’s mug shot proved one of the defining images of his campaign. The photo appeared on Trump merchandise almost immediately after Trump was released from Fulton County Jail in August 2023. The mug shot now hangs outside the Oval Office.

The leaked DNC autopsy doesn't mention:
- Inflation or Bidenflation
- Podcasts
- Women's sports, bathrooms
- Pronouns
- Catholics, Christians, or evangelicals
- 'Religion' or 'Religious'
- White men
- Anything related to MAHA
- Gas prices
And:
- Only one mention of trans in the context of the they/them ad
- One 'border' mention in the context of Dems being mad that Kamala was labeled the 'border czar'
- Brief mention of climate policies causing 'anxiety'
- One mention of '80-20' issues but no definition of what those are
It also alleges that the media ecosystem is too right-wing for Democrats to be able to compete.
Pure slop. Stunningly bad.

The FrontPage Magazine piece about Auschwitz not being built overnight is well written.
"It moved through isolation, legal discrimination, propaganda, fear, and public conditioning; one policy, one justification, and one compromise at a time.
And with each stage, more people adapted.

20% turnover in GOPe Senators lately is not enough. We need good candidates.
Posted by: NaCly Dog
======
There are good candidates galore but they don't have funding enough to run except as long shots. And a good candidate in one state would be a lousy one in another.
What we can do is not necessarily ensure good people but set up incentives not to be bad in office like firing the Thom Tillis types.
And far too many people fall in love with candidates--to my way of thinking, the guys picking up your garbage are more important, not so much who is your senator or rep. Falling in love with a politician only means they will eventually betray you and break your heart. Best not get invested emotionally, especially with pretty words when they do their dirty deeds done dirt cheap for donors or party insiders.
They are there to represent us because all the voters cannot fit into the Capitol, so someone has to do the boring and frankly hideous job of legislating. So a studied measure of contempt, dry sarcasm, and willingness to replace them as components is needed. Quality assurance one might say.

So they tell whoever is paying them what they want to hear and Democrats did not want to hear that a) their policies are insane, b) lying constantly for years takes a toll on popularity, c) Putting forth Puddin Brain and then Kamala as candidates after the administration failed was bad politics.
The GOP autopsy of 2012 ran toward we need to approve amnesty becuz Romney lost being a meanie. That is what the donors and GOPe wanted to hear.

But there was no organized movement among MAGA people to do ANYTHING. In fact, the word was out that if somebody tried to talk you into such a thing, they were likely a Fed looking to trap you.
The were called up by TRUMP, remember. Surrounded the whole city. Check points to enter or leave. Stayed there many weeks afterward. SOMETHING was going on that they weren't telling us. Something MAJOR and UNPRECEDENTED.

The second is the margin of defeat for Kamala Harris was among the smallest in American history.
Under the structure of the Electoral College, a handful of swing states are generally determinative
in the outcome, meaning the margins of victories in those states are the key to the overall
outcome. Tens of thousands of votes in a handful of states returned a Republican to the White
House.

I think it is that these Never Trumpers despise the base openly that Trump represents--that is not who we are indeed. The ones that fake Trump support, to some extent are trapped because betrayal means political death to them. So they have to fake it to keep their miserable careers going along (see Lindsay Graham).

Limbaugh made radio one of the most entertaining and thought provoking mediums ever. He was a gifted broadcaster with split second timing. Comedic genius and political insight expressed in a way that made you realize you weren't alone in your conservative leanings. He surrounded himself with talented staff that created what is known in the business as "production values" which made it extremely listenable. I was addicted for decades. Shanklin was just icing on the cake.

It's a fund that Trump agreed to in exchange for dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for releasing his tax returns.
The money was designated for people who have subjected to harassment by Obama's and Biden's weaponized DOJ. People like Michael Caputo who's life and career were destroyed over baseless charges because he supported Trump early on and also people like J6ers who were setup and over prosecuted.
Permanent DC hates it because it exposed the dual system of justice in this country.

1.) It was no mistake; Dick Armey got it right.
2.) As long as we're eulogizing Barney Fag, my favorite thing about him was this: his notorious, nation-wtecking financial corruption aside, I will never forget when, perhaps fifteen years after he walked away without so much as a single charge for sex trafficking in teen boys, he did an interview where he bemoaned the fact that the Republicans' House censure of him for his well-known pederasty had nearly "ruined [his] social life."
Not that it *did* ruin it, mind you - just that there were a couple months when Georgetown AWFLs were uncomfortable being seen with him in their parlors, and child-buggering panderers were skittish about inviting him into their fleshpots. This was an act of lese-majeste he harbored a lifelong grudge about.
Barney Fag's life epitomized the corruption, vacuity and arrogance of America's ruling class during the waning years of the Republic.

The only part of J6 that was "organic" (not pre-planned) was the public's demonstration. Everything else, the Capitol in particular, was staged.
Pelosi had a huge hand in it. The political, donor, and chattering classes in the capitol city wanted a real insurrection so they could hang Trump and be done with MAGA forever.

I've been around too many political consultants over the years. A very few were decent people, most, I would put on the level of Mel Brooks, "The Producers". And that is in part why the GOP is so bad at politics, consultants don't make money from volunteers and actual popularity, they make money by mailers, robocalls, advertising placements, and communications management. The Rick Jackson phenomenon in GA is an example. This guy spent over $100 million so far--his wife donates to Democrats, he donated to Jeb and Cheney plus Stacey Abrams, he clearly hates having to deal with average citizens in political show and greet, and his campaign consists of slanderous mailers, robocalls, media ad placements, and campaign signage. A fake, gay, Potemkin candidacy allied with the Kemp faction in GA politics.
Dooley for Senate is the same way.

It's a fund that Trump agreed to in exchange for dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for releasing his tax returns.
This is a formula the left has been using for years. Some environmental group sues the EPA and the EPA, also made up of environmentalists, "settles" for what it wanted to do, now with the imprimatur of a court order.

Someone explain to me why Robert Kagan’s piece in the Atlantic yesterday is wrong. He thinks Trump is surrendering to Iran… I don’t trust Kagan but I admit his piece is somewhat persuasive to me… because I’ve not been happy with Trump’s continual talk of negotiations and a “deal” and I believe (alas) that the current stalemate if it persists favors Iran. They don’t care about economic discomfort while American voters are fickle. I’m beginning to believe this waiting game, even with our blockade of Hormuz, is not in our favor. That seems to be Kagan’s argument.
But when I find myself agreeing with a knucklehead like Kagan maybe I’ve gone off my rocker. Help me out here…

He knew those people were America First types and he knew or he should've known it was a setup. Yet he still demanded overly harsh treatment.

But right now it just feels fake. The admin in the office, including my own elected representatives, clearly can’t stand me or the work I do. It all feels like a performance layered over a bunch of hostility.
Feels like more of a wake than a birthday celebration. I will be mourning this 4th.
1976 had actual unity around it, now everything gets weaponized before the decorations even go up. I'm going to Celebrate Juneteenth , with the flag Asshats name hasn't been Imposed on. Black Lives Matter flag. The Nation is lost currently, I can't celebrate that.
I wouldn't count on a bloody civil War. I would count on quiet acceptance like billions of people do on earth. They accept that they're under the authoritarian boot. There's no heroic uprising.
No way! We will rise. Minnesota taught me that even under extreme authoritarian rule, resistance works. We are an incredible country, and the corrupt disgusting president will not take that from us!

Welcome to the party, pal.Ryan Breslow, the co-founder and chief executive of US fintech firm Bolt, said the department was scrapped as part of sweeping layoffs aimed at returning the struggling business to “start-up mode”.The 32-year-old added that HR professionals were more suited to “peacetime” conditions at larger companies rather than a start-up environment focused on rapid growth and efficiency.

Perhaps the root of the problem in Iran is that there's no one left to negotiate with. Maybe the "leadership" is so fractured no one is able to speak authoritatively on behalf of the military.
If you think about the aftermath of when you know who killed you know who, leadership seemed to default to Navy Admiral Donitz, who was no where near Berlin, and just shrugged his shoulders and said "Yeah, ok. We give up."

This regime sent a million of its followers to die for nothing during the Iran-Iraq war. They’re busy executing everyone inside Iran who complains too loudly, and much like North Korea, they maintain absolute control over the military and internal security services.
A summer of economic hardship is nothing to them, and the “blockade” is far more porous than we like to pretend it is. Our “good friend” Pakistan has 6 major rail crossings where goods pour into Iran every day. The people will suffer from the economic decline, but the regime won’t.

Barney was just mad because he had to ride the pine for several months, and by the time he could lace up his bondage gear and get back in the game, Lindsey Graham had already wrecked the ass of every catamite in the Beltway. It probably took him a couple seasons to regain his records and retake the lead in the cock-ring count.

Donald has named quality replacements for them, and when confirmed, Trump will have the second most Appeals Court judges after Ronald Reagan.

146 If the Senate is not in recess, can the President (or Vance, or anyone) call them to a vote?
Posted by: Huck Follywood
Nope. Special sessions may be called when Congress is in recess or have adjourned sine die. President can also adjourn Congress if the House and Senate disagree on adjournment.
Normally the House has to ask the Senate for permission to do so which galls the House to no end but they can ask the president to do so.

I keeping hearing that "Trump is surrendering to Iran". It's the most ridiculous propaganda imaginable. The military action was about as lop-sided as you can imagine, and Iran's economy has been practically shut down.
It was clear from the start - and I remember Ace commenting to this effect - that the US and Israel aim to END THIS, once and for all. There would be no point to it otherwise.
All the talk of "negotiation" is for suckers. Either it REALLY means Trump is bribing Iranian insiders or Trump is stalling for time to get ready for the endgame. Trump always gives his opponent the opportunity to do the right thing, but he doesn't really EXPECT them to do the right thing.

Starship/Superheavy launch scrubbed at T-40 seconds
"Though SpaceX mission controllers tried several times to restart the countdown when it went into an automatic hold at T-40 seconds due to some technical issues, they eventually decided to scrub the Starship/Superheavy launch today.
At present they expect to try again tomorrow, with a launch window opening at 5:30 pm (central). Expect updates later today or tomorrow."
SpaceX will try again today. As of now. 6:30 PM Eastern. Launch window is about 2 hours.
My educated speculation:
Trying again 24 hours after yesterday's several temperature-related issues inside T-40 seconds, tells me the engineers are confident they understand the cause(s). They'll change temperature limits in the launch sequencer computer program for the T-0 launch pad-vehicle quick disconnects that violated limits yesterday. No hardware fixes. The engineers must have test data and computer models that indicate they can safely change the limits up or down to accommodate the temperatures observed yesterday.
I wish them success today!

Advances in communications and networking should make this not too burdensome. Too many of these people get elected on a campaign of representing their people, then go to Washington and "go native".

Iran/IRGC and Hormuz...
Shippers who are paying bigly to just be in the area with their multi-billion dollar vessels are not convinced it's safe. That's the problem, and why we're sitting on our collective thumbs.
The IRGC will "guarantee" safe passage for certain vessels.... for a fee. Some shippers are willing to pay it. But some shippers won't. And some vessels, registered or flagged in a country the IRGC is currently at war with will never be permitted into our out of the Persian Gulf. As long as the IRGC controls Hormuz.
The IRGC, correctly, has assumed that if they hold the Hormuz at risk, they will have a stronger negotiating stance. If they can't control Hormuz....
Prying the IRGC out of their bunkers and hideouts across hundreds of square miles is no easy task.
This is where we are. IMO

Saw a really interesting piece on X yesterday by a guy who goes by the name of GreenBeretNapTime or something like that. Very detailed piece so he is clearly knowledgable about the ethnic/tribal makeup of Iran and the government.
He claims that because of the lack of internet or real media coverage a lot of what is going on in Iran is based on regime leaks or assumptions and not fact. His claim is that there are lots of cracks and fractures in the regimes control and they are being exploited during the negotiations. Sounds at least plausible.
Why I find absurd is that anyone would listen to Kagan, the clown behind decades of disastrous military adventures in the Middle East not to mention being the husband of Victoria Nuland, possibly the most corrupt and most destructive POS ever in ur foreign policy establishment. One of the architects of the disaster in Ukraine.

They're trying to rewrite the entire culture, into a dysfunctional dystopia. Just look at how every major intellectual property in Hollywood has been rewritten, and destroyed. Star Wars, Star Trek, even the Wizard of Oz. Obviously, an organized effort from the Globalists.

The critical bit is that these oil wells are in fact in danger if Iran shuts them down yet there is not enough storage anymore to keep them pumping. That means permanently damaging the Iranian state's ability to raise funds getting worse as time goes on.

I am rather surprised at how many young people walk around the campus and town of the local institution of higher learning glued to their cell phone. They cross the busy intersection looking at their cell phones. They may overlook the beauty of the campus gardens because they are looking at their cell phones. They probably miss the cute , friendly dog ( Portuguese Water Dog) sitting with its owner outside the coffee shop. For all I know they may bump into people because they're looking at their cell phones. I am glad I grew up before cell phones. I have one witn me in my purse or pocket but I don't take it out unless it rings or I have to call somebody.

If the GOP holds onto the House (I'm doubtful, but it could happen), the 120th Congress will be much more proactive in pushing Trump's policies through legislation than the 119th.

Lobbyists for the most part are stone cold assholes--they don't care who is in power but they must get their employer's legislative business in play regardless of personal feelings. And Trump has shown, he is the biggest and baddest mfer in DC and not to be trifled with. He is currently sitting on 350 billion buck warchest and runs the RNC. And corporations are willingly spending money on ballrooms, restoring DC fountains, etc. to buy favor and protection.

I heard that about "cracks and fractures". How can it NOT be true? You have a situation where the top leadership routinely gets wiped out from bombing! The ones REALLY in control are gone, and everyone else is wondering who's going to stab them in the back to try to either seize power or to sell out to the Americans to save their hides.
That's another thing about the negotiations (and maybe it's really the same thing you're saying). Trump talks of working with moderate insiders, but the Iranians don't seem to know who they are. It could be that they don't really exist, but that Trump says those things to stoke the paranoia they must be having towards each other.
Only a fool would take what Trump says about this stuff at face value. It's Sun Tzu - THANK GOD!

>>The critical bit is that these oil wells are in fact in danger if Iran shuts them down yet there is not enough storage anymore to keep them pumping. That means permanently damaging the Iranian state's ability to raise funds getting worse as time goes on.
The common narrative about Trump is that he is a deal maker. I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that means he will make a deal no matter the cost.
If history is any guide, and it is, Trump makes deals where Trump wins or he finds a way to destroy his opponent. See Massie, Thomas.
Trump knows exactly what is happening in Iran, much more than we do because he is probably getting daily if not hourly updates from those pesky Jews who have been on the ground in Iran for years. He also knows what the mullahs are all about and he also knows the geopolitical issues that surround Iran including the ME and China.
If he hasn't earned his supporters trust by now I don't know what to tell them.

Ilhan Omar called him the “worst parent in the world.”
Question for @Ilhan
: did your parents attend your wedding when you married your brother?
Also, if 47, DID go, they’d be whining on TV about it all day.
Not to mention they’d try to kiII him while he’s there.

They're already dealing with gas shortages in country (they have no refining capacity). They're losing $450 million per day on lost trade (the Caspian Sea and Pakistani railroads account for roughly 1% of the trade they got from Persian and Oman Gulf ports). Reports of the IRGC and the Iranian army fighting. Guerilla attacks in the country against IRGC and Basij commanders. The in-country inflation at about 30% a week. Black market turning to bartering. UAE directly attacking targets in Iran.
2.5 years of this is...a long time.

10 of the current crop (including Mitch, Tillis, Cornyn, Ernst, and Cassidy) will be gone in 2027, and the GOP is not going to lose the Senate (they'd have to lose deep red seats like...Ohio...and Texas...not going to happen).
If the GOP holds onto the House (I'm doubtful, but it could happen), the 120th Congress will be much more proactive in pushing Trump's policies through legislation than the 119th.

6th years of presidencies and House elections are weird. You usually do not see big losses or gains if the previous election was not a wave election. 2024 was not a legislative wave election nor was 2022 much.
Too many analysts throw in second presidential mid terms in with first term. First presidential term midterms are usually awful. Disenchantment with the policies of a new president, opposing party if a wave exists taking back marginal seats, and so on. Sometimes there is a drubbing but usually over really bad issues--1938 was FDR's dip back into a major recession plus 1936 was a wave election. 1974 was Watergate and hapless Ford. But 1958 was okay for Ike, 1986 was not terrible for Reagan though he lost the Senate, and 1998 was good for Clinton gaining seats.
Senate is more dependent on whose seats are up and good candidates, the House is more attuned to national conditions at the time of election.

His record of success in foreign affairs so far going back to his first term where he wiped out ISIS in a minute after the experts said it was impossible has given him a long leash in my opinion. And his team both civilian and military is so far above his predecessors I have confidence they have a realistic plan to achieve the goals they laid out.

So...I assume that's what the vote looked like with normal Dem vote fraud.

I think the worry for some is over how high gas prices will affect the GOP in 2026 midterms.
For shitheads like Kagan, they want US boots on the ground for regime change which is absolutely stupid.
For the uranium, going in and taking it is akin to a trap for US forces. We are very good at force projection but that facility is in the middle of Iran and would take a lot of time to retrieve. Meanwhile it would allow the Iranians to surge toward the US trapped forces there. Something like Anzio in WWII or Bastogne. High casualties are likely.
There is a limit as to what we are willing to do and Trump is not going to send troops ashore just to invade Iran--he just isn't nor should we expect that. The air campaign is holding off but can be resumed immediately but aimed at what targets?
The economic war is grinding down the regime despite being slow and mostly out of sight. And we forget one thing, we are producing the high priced oil for our country, not sending money abroad to buy it this go around. Not true of previous Middle East crises. The money is staying here.

I think the worry for some is over how high gas prices will affect the GOP in 2026 midterms.

286 When we all went to bed and "the counting was stopped", Trump looked like a winner as he was up in all the battleground states.
So...I assume that's what the vote looked like with normal Dem vote fraud.

We still have three carrier groups in the region.
And every day that the IRGC tries to act like it can control the strait is another day that the Gulf States decide to do another pipeline. UAE started a new pipeline at the start of April.

We went to direct election of Senator because of corrupt back room deals with state pols, but...this has been worse.
In fairness to the people that made this change the notion there would be so much voter fraud and so many voters that don't pay attention to who they are voting for would have seemed insane.
And on this last point the data is stunning...for example 10-15% of Dem voters believe the Dem party is pro-life. Now imagine you could force those people to sit and watch Dem speeches on abortion Clockwork Orange style. No I don't think that means the Dems lose 10-15% of their vote...but maybe they lose 2%.

Eh. The Demoncrat hostage-taking usually works. Instead of disgusting the voters into voting GOP, they instead say "If we vote for the Democrats, will you stop rioting?"
Posted by: XTC
=========
Historically, it usually fails. Same for terrorism and political violence generally and this is across countries. Violence tends to keep the government in power that combats it, not the ones that promote it.
One of my old profs was one the big names in that particular area and it is why that violent political movements, if they don't pull off an immediate victory, end up returning to the political process as a party. Sein Fein is an example. So is the party Petro represents in Colombia. And elsewhere.
And the 1964 election put LBJ in charge with large majorities despite the GOP having nothing to do with JFK's assassination. Nixon won a landslide in 1972, in part, because violent student activists, etc. put Americans off on voting D. Even a lot of Democrats ended up voting for Tricky Dick.
GOP is the law and order party, Democrats cannot claim that as they try to move toward defunding cops, etc.

And thank you, J.J.
From above, "He and his party led by Malig-Nancy Pelosi either directly engineered and orchestrated the events of 1/6 or else created the conditions and fiction that Trump was inciting an insurrection when it was in fact an entrapment sting to create that pretext and illusion to oppress and suppress the enemies of the Left and Deep State. And GOP confederates like Fitzpatrick et al are equally guilty of perpetuating the corrupt status quo regardless of the consequences to the American people and Republic.
Looking back at Charlottesville, imagine the run January 6th is gonna have!
For example, Harry Dunn (among many others) with his harrowing testimony and Written Statement of Harry A. Dunn, Private First Class U.S. Capitol Police, Hearing Before the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, U.S. House of Representatives January 27, 2021.
Harry's still going strong.
Msm also solidly tied Carlson and Fuentes to "America First."
And someday soon there could be a real statue on the National Mall of Nancy Pelosi & her photographer daughter, Alexandra, to commemorate it.

The mullahs have no other option really. Russia doesn't care about Iran as it is raking in high oil prices with Iran's absence. China is now getting oil from the US in part as an inducement to stop propping up the mullahs.
Iran has pissed off even its Gulf allies by launching missiles everywhere to the extent that their offshore money in Qatar, etc. is now frozen at best, and will be taken by host countries for damages at worst.
Trying to mine the Straits is a no go with USN there and their speedboat fleet can be shattered with an A-10 or copters with cheap cannon fire.
So they are like a guy trying to fight eviction--they cannot go out but nothing much is coming in, they got no money, and it doesn't matter that they have a gun if they are sitting in the darkness, power off, and no water. If they come out, they will be finished off. If they sit, they will likely go nuts and suicide.

Top Story
- Got up early to get something fixed at worked - looked like a two hour job.
By the end of the day it had clearly turned into a two day job, so that was fun.
- Google is bringing something new to its AI-powered search: Ads. (The Register)
Ads. Lots of ads. On Google.
The websites that Google scours for its content get nothing.
- Six search engines worth trying now that Google has shit not only its own bed but everyone else's bed. (Tech Crunch)
I use DuckDuckGo (have for years) and Brave. DuckDuckGo was originally noticeably less complete than Google, but Google has fixed that by diligent strategic incompetence.
Tech News
- The TanStack supply-chain breach that I noticed but did not report on here has expanded to 3800 GitHub repositories. (Bleeping Computer)
Vectored via a GitHub employee. Sometimes AI isn't the worst thing.
- Google accidentally leaked details of an unpatched Chromium flaw. (Bleeping Computer)
Unpatched since December.
December 2022.
Chromium is the engine underlying Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and other browsers.
- AMD is ramping up production of its new 256-core Zen 6 Epyc server CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
It's claimed to be 70% faster than existing 192-core Zen 5 models, which is plausible since it also jumps from TSMC's 4nm process to 2nm. Server CPUs are limited by power and heat more than raw clock speeds, and 2nm uses a lot less power.
- Lisuan Tech's new 7G100 graphics card is... A graphics card. (Tom's Hardware)
It exists. It actually works, which requires a lot of work. And at around $500 it's not the most expensive option.
The article notes the Nvidia's previous-generation low-end RTX 4060 is 20% to 70% faster, but that's not correct. The 7G100 actually delivers 20% to 70% of the performance of the 4060.
- The Flipper 1 is not one more than the Flipper 0. (Tom's Hardware)
The Flipper 0 is a pen-testing (security testing) multitool, a single device that can scan for security issues on a range of wired and wireless connection methods.
The Flipper 1 while keeping the same multi-tool form factor is a general purpose Linux computer that you can clip to your belt. Perfect for technicians who need to be able to plug into whatever device you have locally and figure out why it's not talking... Whether they should be doing that or not.

His boss doesn't hate Jews, so he needs to jump ship to preserve his status in the grifter clique. Just common sense.

Rumors are pointing to Apple inventing MacBook touch screen displays. Apple MacBook fans are are also rumored to be setting aside their decades long hatred of touch screens and preparing to spend hours in line to purchase computer screen cleaning supplies. Plus the screen is OLED and it will come with some flavor of M6 CPUs.

Well, or son and our DiL closed on their first starter home yesterday.
In a world of flipped homes, it was nice that the previous owners left them a hand written letter on the kitchen counter talking about the life events that the home had been a part of, and a wish that they would continue to see new adventures with the home.
It affirmed the feeling that all of us had while looking at it that this was a home that had been loved, and that the family had simply outgrown it, and it was time for them to move to their next adventure.

G'evening and g' morning to all the late toilers and early risers. 'Tis Friday, the consummation devoutly to be wished!
Last night I dreamed a variant on one of the classic dreams. I apparently was in some kind of advanced math class and had not attended half the sessions, and here it was the last class before the final. I joined a line of supplicants -- this for some reason was in a cafeteria that also resembled a train car --- to speak to the professor about getting an incomplete. To my surprise (not in the dream but on waking reflection), the teacher was -- Barky Obongo! I schmoozed with him about being brought up in a poor part of town, roaches everywhere, etc., and was explaining that my mother and I had been sick this semester, when Stirling the black cat woke me by jumping on my ribs.
Dreams, right? You know the closest Barky ever got to an advanced math class would have been "dating" one of the (probably male) grad students in math at Occidental.

SMS based 2FA has always been a flaming dumpster fire in terms of security because SMS is so insecure and is tied to the SIM in the phone, which can be
a) cloned
b) taken over by a bad actor who convinces "support" at your phone company he's you, and he needs a replacement sim.
Shared secret authenticators have been better unless if the shared secret gets compromised on either end. Passkeys have yet to be determined just how secure they truly are (I suspect a major back-doorable compromise is waiting in the wings.)
Me, I make sure the authenticator is on a separate device than the device on which the authentication request is coming in, but I'm a paranoid old whitebeard that spent 30 years in IT and I know it's all a house of cards just waiting for the first breeze to blow it all over.
I can't do anything about the server side though, so if I hear of a compromise, passwords get changed AND authenticator secret keys get changed.

Iran's foreign minister met Pakistan's interior minister on Friday to discuss proposals to end the US-Israeli war, Iranian media reported, with Tehran and Washington still at odds over Tehran's uranium stockpile and controls on the Strait of Hormuz.
Two days after presenting the Iranians with the latest US message in the negotiations, Syed Mohsin Naqvi held another round of talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Tehran, the semi-official Tasnim and ISNA news agencies reported.

Yup, because it's easy. This is what makes me inherently distrust these new "passkeys". They are too easy, therefore there's an inherent weakness and hole so large you could drive a Mack truck through it.
People regularly trade security for convenience, and never seem to learn.

The Israelis, by supplying food, water, power, and some medical supplies to Gaza, should be hailed as humanitarians of the bluest water. I hope they are evolving the Gaza genome, one JDAM at a time.
I would not do that, and the Laws of Land Conflict would back me up. But the Left is insane, so no.

“The websites that Google scours for its content get nothing.”
So pretty soon Google is going to be scanning an empty web, or else scanning websites that only exist to affect AI search results, perhaps funded by George Soros and the Chinese government.
Anyone trying to post material on the internet out of pure intent is going to be posting to an audience that isn’t there, or handing over all their effort to AI giants, who will rob them blind and give them no credit whatsoever.
The US government doesn’t want to shut down AI, because AI could eventually lead to huge increases in productivity. But if all the profits go to the owners of AI, and none to those creating the material that AI feeds on, the end result is a black hole.

Kyle Busch R.I.P. NASCAR icon Kyle Busch dies at the age of 41
Image from nascar.com
NASCAR icon Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion who won more races across the sport's three national series than any driver in history, has died at the age of 41, the racing series announced Thursday. The Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR issued a joint statement Thursday, saying that Busch died after being hospitalized earlier in the day as the result of a severe illness, three days before he was to compete at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. No cause of death was given. "On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch," NASCAR said in a statement. "Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans."More from ESPN
• 2-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion (2015, 2019)Prayers up for his family and loved ones. ----- Does that cake cutting include a happy ending?? Beverly Hills Restaurant Responds After $110 Cake Cutting Fee Goes Viral
• Ranks 9th on the all-time Cup Series wins list (63)
• Holds record 234 combined wins in NASCAR's top three series
• Holds wins record in O'Reilly Auto Parts Series (102) and Craftsman Truck Series (69)
• Won a Cup Series race in record-breaking 19 consecutive seasons from 2005 to '23
• Most recent win came in the Truck Series at Dover on May 15
• Most recent Cup Series win came June 4, 2023, at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway
• Had competed in 397 straight starts in the Cup Series, the 4th-longest active streak behind Joey Logano (624), Brad Keselowski (592) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (412)
A rooftop restaurant in Beverly Hills responded after a viral social media post claimed it charged a $110 cake cutting fee during a group dinner. The restaurant, Poza, is located on top of L’Ermitage Beverly Hills and came under criticism after a food influencer shared a photo of the bill on Instagram. The influencer, known as @justinelovesushi, posted that the restaurant added a cake cutting fee of $10 per person for a party of 11 people. The total dinner bill was more than $1,100, but the extra charge quickly became the center of attention online. The video received more than 355,000 views and thousands of comments. Many people debated whether the cake cutting fee was reasonable. Some users said high-end restaurants often charge service fees when customers bring in outside desserts. Others felt the restaurant should have clearly explained the cake cutting fee before serving the cake. *** After the backlash, Poza released a public response on Instagram. The restaurant apologized and admitted the guests should have been informed about the cake cutting fee when they brought the cake into the restaurant.Yet another reason to stay the eff out of California ----- What came first - the bio-engineered chick or the 3D-printed egg? Bio-Engineering Company Hatches Chicks Out of Completely Artificial Eggs
A Dallas-based biotech company claims to have developed a “fully artificial egg” that allows it to hatch a variety of avian species, which could, theoretically, allow it to bring back extinct species and help save endangered ones. One of the stated goals of Colossal Biosciences is to bring back the South Island giant moa (Dinornis robustus), a 3-metre-tall New Zealand bird that went extinct in the 14th century. Colossal Biosciences’s artificial egg looks like a simple plastic cup, but it’s a small 3D-printed miracle that allows chicken embryos to develop into living chicks. The true innovation lies in the silicone membrane coating the inside of the lattice structure, which allows sufficient oxygen to pass through, just like that of a natural egg. *** Interestingly, Japanese scientists successfully hatched quail chicks from artificial eggs in 1998, and others have done so with other bird species since, but their system required oxygen supplementation, which caused some chicks to suffer genetic defects or fail to hatch altogether. The membrane created by Colossal Biosciences allows enough oxygen to permeate naturally.Just because we CAN do this, does that mean we SHOULD?? ----- Life hacks!

One of the most interesting things about Bowie's "Let's Dance" album is that it was a deliberate slap at his previous manager. Apparently, after they sued each other, Bowie had to pay a percentage of royalties from his next few albums.
So Bowie did his "Berlin" trilogy, great albums but poor sellers. As soon as the judgement was done, Bowie released "Let's Dance." His commercial powerhouse.
Hard to think of a better FU than that.

My understanding is that you don't want silicone anywhere near your engine. Even trace amounts will coat the oxygen sensor with silica and cause it to malfunction.

Seriously, we are getting pretty dry here, and I'm about 7" behind normal for the year. If the forecast holds, this may make a dent in that. And it will spread out for about a week, not too much at one time, to let it soak in.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at May 21, 2026 10:11 PM (D1E+2)
Yeah, he was my favorite driver back when I watched it regularly.
I'll always remember that season when he broke his leg at Daytona, and because NASCAR admitted they should have had SAFER barrier installed where he hit, they gave him a waiver on the rule that you had to be in each race of the season to be eligible for the championship.
He then won the championship.
And he was always the guy to watch if he was in third place on a late race restart, because he was always going to 'make something happen' going into turn 1.

Traded four joints for a bottle of wine with David Bowie in 1974. My friend and classmate worked evenings as a gas jockey at an Amoco Station right next to the NY Thruway in Rockland County. If I had nothing to do, I'd go see him. The owner let us use the lift.
A white stretch Lincoln pulled in to gas up. The driver asked us if we had any weed. (We looked the part). Said it was for Bowie. Looked into the car and sure enough it was. We quickly went and rolled him a couple joints each and were given a bottle of wine in return. David didn't get out of the car. They were headed to Albany area, IIRC

David Bowie was a big fan of the Uncle Floyd Show in the 70s and 80s and told John Lennon, David Peel, and David Johansen
about it and they became fans too. In 2002, David wrote a song about watching the Uncle Floyd Show called Slip Away. Floyd was touched by it, but was more touched by the very big check David sent him. Some kind of royalties from the song. Floyd said it was very generous and David didn't have to do that. i think Bowie was a decent sort. It's a peaceful song, It was on Youtube last I checked.

They have to cut the cake , plate the cake, bus the plates and wash the plates. They did admit they should have advised them when the service was requested. $10 might be a little steep per slice but they ain't a charity.

Yeah, if you want to show up at a restaurant with your own food, you should expect a fee. This is controversial?
If the customer wasn't told about the fee, that probably means she showed up with the cake without asking the restaurant first.

We had a birthday dinner at one of my favorite restaurants here several months ago, a Korean sushi and soup place. Their only dessert was mochi ice cream, and so I was tasked with bringing a cake. I made a cheesecake, asked them if it was okay and they not only said yes but offered to store it in their fridge until the end of the meal.
No charge or problem.
Monday I went back to the place with a few friends and noticed they now have two items on their dessert menu: mochi ice cream and cheesecake.

Bowie was excellent playing...well, you. I've heard that his at the time artificially-enhanced state played a big part in his convincing alien performance.

Little kids are messy. So I bought a steam cleaner for doing the carpets. Results were so-so.
Wife insisted we use Stanley-Steamer. I kept using the cleaner I bought..
She went ahead and called and paid for Stanley-Steamer. It was $100-$150. Worked great.
I should make space and toss the cleaner I bought.

BTW, I Have solved the electrical issues with the convertible. I think the neutral safety switch is not being sufficiently depressed by the shift lever when in Park. I did not want to tear the entire shifter apart to attempt a repair at this time. Cut the wire to the "S" stud on the solenoid; spliced in a wire, fed it through the firewall, and repurposed the aftermarket power antenna switch as a starter switch. Turn key on, flip up the spring-loaded bat handle of the antenna switch, and the car starts. Easy-peasy. And the power top wire, I spliced in a new hunk of wire, so it's now safe from shorting out. Done and done.

A lot of people, you know the astro-physical "communicator community" and teachers and so forth, have started changing the pronunciation of Uranus to "you-rhan-us" or "ur-in-us" or some such and claiming that's how it really should be pronounced. This is to avoid the snickering and joking.
In English, we've always pronounced it yer-anus. Just go with it, have fun and don't worry.

I have to say, theirs was much nicer looking than mine. I didn’t try it, however. I rarely have dessert at places that serve sushi. I just have more sushi.

A lot of people, you know the astro-physical "communicator community" and teachers and so forth, have started changing the pronunciation of Uranus to "you-rhan-us" or "ur-in-us" or some such and claiming that's how it really should be pronounced. This is to avoid the snickering and joking.
In English, we've always pronounced it yer-anus. Just go with it, have fun and don't worry.

The "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water displacement." It was indeed developed as an expedient metal protectant, not a lubricant. The company that makes it ultimately promoted many other uses. The residue that remains after the propellant evaporates is fish oil.

What it does do, is to dissolve and remobillze some of the existing lubricant in a mechanism, and helps it to function better. I used it a few days ago on the sticky passenger door lock fo the convertible. Works fine now.

Yup, I use it when old grease gets hard and I want to dissolve it and loosen it up to remove it. It cuts down on the parts washer time.

Yep. I've got a link shortener extension for Chrome and the others. I've been getting timeouts with is.gd and one of the other ones. The problem is tinyurl will default to a preview version -- you have to get some damned access token to use it with the extension now, which is why I switched it to is.gd.
But the timeouts are happening a lot now.

I once went fishing with a guy who sprayed a tray full of bait fish with WD-40. He said it completely masked any human scent that was on the fish or the hook, and the fish weren't put off by the chemical taste. Given the size of the salmon we were pulling out of the river, I'd say he was correct.

Watching the Lineman video reminded me of my Dad. He climbed poles for PG&E for all the power lines going into Yosemite Valley... then got recalled back to the Navy for Korea... came back and climbed poles for AT&T of years...
Retired as a Senior Engineer... did the entire Calif Aqueduct communications system.
But apparently... he never told Mom the kinds of things he climbed... to her dying day she never admitted he did anything dangerous... but I have PICTURES from his old crew, of him on top of a High Tension Power Line Tower, which sits atop a cliff.

Robert the Cat (TM) is a big fan of David Bowie. It's probably why I dreamed last night that I had to fix Iggy Pop's laptop. We were all part of a tech squad but his PC had issues. I was pretty sure his hard drive was filling up, but I had to keep tracking him down to get his password so I could continue trouble shooting.
Honestly it was better than the dream from the night before, where I was at a MoMe in this hugely elegant hotel. One of the COBS was dreading when his mother was going to show up, but she turned out to be a delightful lady and the hit of the event.
Yeah, I should probably go to bed...

On a related note, Google announced that there was a 2+ year old security flaw in every Chromium- based browser, including how it can be exploited. If you use Firefox or Safari, you're safe. iPhone and iPad browsers -might- be safe, since I think they have to use the Safari engine.

Honestly it was better than the dream from the night before, where I was at a MoMe in this hugely elegant hotel. One of the COBS was dreading when his mother was going to show up, but she turned out to be a delightful lady and the hit of the event.
Yeah, I should probably go to bed...

On trips with the travel trailer it's handy to have that battery drill and different sized sheet rock screws.
Going down the highway in the middle of nowhere , in my mirror I view the cover for the water heater flapping in the breeze.
The drill driver and a couple of screws remedy the problem until the destination is reached.

Back when I was that age, there was no way any of us would've dared to say that out loud. We'd have been snickering amongst ourselves, but no way we'd have said it to her. We'd get in way too much trouble. And that's the difference today, I guess.

My understanding is that you don't want silicone anywhere near your engine. Even trace amounts will coat the oxygen sensor with silica and cause it to malfunction.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug
-------
I said that a couple of days ago. Silicone is a good lube, but nowhere near electrical contacts.
When silicone breaks down, chemically, one of the components is silicon, silica, sand, whatever you want to call it.
On contacts, an arc (however small is sufficient) is the mechanismto break it down. On an O2 sensor, it would be exhaust heat. On a contact it abrades, on a sensor it clogs.
Silicone CREEPS. Spray it on the base of a meter high vertical steel rod, it will be at the top of that rod in a day.
If there is a physical path of less than 5 meters from the point of application to something that shouldn't have it, don't use silicone.
That distance is based on the size of the area and quantity, in that case a non-dripping spray application over a couple square inch area. If you dunk a horizontal wire in a pool of the stuff, you're talking football field distances.

But, 20 years later, very few have great success in life. I remember two -Jim in 7th grade and Clyde in high school. I've attended exactly one high school reunion: my 25th. Both of them were there. Jim was on wife #2, Clyde on his third. Both were car salesmen.

"Very sketchy. Martin said he did it so people will trust in the DNC? Geez, I trust them LESS now!"
"Ken Martin needs to go, he's absolutely useless and never gives a straight answer. Just full of nonsense PR speak and bs whenever he is pushed on a question."

I chuckled slightly at the thought of him actually being seated, and serving on one... who knows how he'd behave in court?
Would he smoke an imaginary cigarette while the prosecution lays out the case? LOL.
Fortunately, he's over 70 and can decline based on age-- no other documentation required. There's a way to do it online, so done deal now.

In AZ, it's 75. When I lived in OR, I was called for jury duty about every 5 years, but that quit at 70. I guess they have a big enough jury pool that just automatically permanently pulled any off the list.
I got the questionnaire last week. I could get out of it, but I figured that this county is so sparsely populated they need anyone who.can do it. If they call me, It's a 90 mile roundtrip to the county seat.

Hi, Debby!
Yeah, I never even thought about it until today. Just not top of mind, LOL.
For a while, we both were getting drawn for summons every 2 years it seemed... They can't force it more often than that, here. Always July and December! Grrr.

I get one just about every year or two...last one I postponed due to travel...then again for a colonoscopy (prerequisite for surgery), then a third time for surgery. Finally did it in early Spring, so safe for another yearish...at least on the Superior Court level...Fed court is completely different.

Great minds, etc. My first thought: Blazing Saddles!
Incidentally that position is called akimbo (which autocucumber wants to change to "a limbo").
I thought the word was Japanese for years, but I finally looked it up. It's from the Middle English in kenbowe.

I've been summoned to Federal Grand Jury selection once before. Didn't get selected, but it was *close*! They handed out numbered cards & chose randomly.
Whew! 100 mile drive (one way) and meet every month for a whole year. Wasn't sure my old car would hold up. Pay & mileage were decent, though. At my distance, they even paid fixed rate for hotel-- and I could find decent accommodation for less & pocket the difference. Legally!

Thats exactly what it was designed for. Water displacement formula #40, the 40th attempt to create it. It was used to keep moisture off the Atlas rockets. The workers started taking it home and finding a shit ton of uses, so they started marketing it.

I don't drive to jury duty...they don't pay for the first day of potential jury selection, only if you are selected for a jury, and there's almost no free parking anywhere downtown near the courthouse unless you have a handicap placard, and even then it might be hard finding parking. I hate it.

And Colbert isn't getting any younger, nor is his balance getting any better; so with the panopticon, every year that goes by has an increasing chance for him to give us one last laugh.

This iteration of minx software won’t break-up or condense a too long URL and instead throws the formatting off for the whole thread. CBD is a bulldog about it, I have had him tell me off when I’ve been careless with a link. One would like software that handles it better, but minx is minx. I am more careful these days: if the link doesn’t fit in one line in the Post box, I break the link myself with carriage returns (it’s easy to copy such links and delete spaces) or use a link shortener.

In this case it was a YT share link, and Archimedes could have just deleted everything from the ? on, since that's just tracking. You can get even more brutal with Amazon links and they'll still work. And you can also remove the leading https://, since that's just implied at this point.

Wang Chung update. He's going to command the first human flyby of Mars aboard Starship, which will flyby the Moon on its way. So, apparently the first mission to Mars will be a flyby.
This will be sometime in the not-so-near future I imagine.
So, if this goes off, Wang Chung will do down as one of the first humans to get to Mars. Did not have that on my Bingo card.

You probably didn't consider those huge war movies like "The Longest Day" or "A Bridge Too Far" they had tons of then stars and lots of minor cast members made it big.

Saw "The Mandalorian and Grogu" today mostly out of curiosity (sorry Ace!). Eh, it's mid/meh, and skews young, but honestly I needed a little slice of Star Wars and it hit the spot. And no fucking Death Star!
Ludwig Göransson's score was great, percussive and synthy.

Went to my youngest niece’s Baccalaureate Mass this afternoon. She is graduating from an all girls Catholic school here. There was a choir and a chamber orchestra all from the school. The sound quality in the cathedral was majestic.
Too bad about the homily.
Oh well. Graduation is Sunday. Both my boys will be with me to celebrate their cousin. It will be just wonderf.

Now, recently, but this was in another galaxy, they think they've seen one of those suspected by not yet seen core-collapses of a massive start where there's no supernova, damn thing just collapses to a black hole with no fireworks.

I don't know how long he was on the air (seems like forever), but I can honestly say I've never seen one episode of Colbert's show. I think that's healthy.
Also, Eastwood's kid seems more....Eastwood than Hank's kid seems Hanks. I like them both though.

Scanno is nice. But a lot of towns out that way have become very touristy. Overall it’s a nice drive from Naples, and if you take the route through Cassino, it’s very scenic. I really like Popoli and some of the towns further out. If I remember it’s about a 2 1/2-3 hour drive. Worth it.

That is an area of active research, meaning there's a lot of disagreement. But the star formation rate will decline ultimately over time.
There's argument over just what the current rate is.

Presumably a Dyson sphere would appear after a time of a larger, infared star with low luminosity as the bright light radiates waste heat over the sphere's surface.
The total would match the original star's output but fat and dim. An infared satellite might pick it up.

48l He requested a medic meet him at his pit area at the end of the Watkins Glen race two weeks ago for a "shot" as he had a raging sinus infection. I'm thinking for a steroid shot and that helped the infection go out of control and cause meningitis. Total guess on my part as I have zero knowledge other than what Nascar has replayed from Watkins Glen of his radio talk with his crew chief at the end of the race.

Unreasonable drives to form a medium sized star empire is one thing, crossing a galaxy with its trillions of stars or the huge gulfs between is something again. Only if your star drive is "jumps" that could end up anywhere does it make sense. You jump, then find where you are. Then the real travel map is by jump routes and not where stars are spatially.

It is a bitch to get to. And no accommodations on the beach. You have to go to Forks. Or stay at the Mora campground.
But it is magic. Trust me.

There's a British actor in The Longest Day named Richard Todd (who was a big deal back in the day)....He happened to have actually participated in D-Day in the group defending Pegasus Bridge holding until relief arrived. I seem to recall Peter Lawford starring in that scene. Todd, on the other hand, played Major Howard in a different scene and location.

I'll just remind that neutrinos were a type of "dark matter", something we couldn't yet see that had to be there. I think it was Pauli who first proposed an invisible particle to account for an observed energy imbalance in some nuclear reactions.
So, he was proposing a type of dark matter. It took 26 years after that before neutrinos were confirmed to exist.
It's been roughly 50 years since the modern dark matter was first proposed. And the case for this missing mass that we can't see just keeps getting stronger.

I have seen this used in literature at least once, where it led to a somewhat tangled map of territories because of the jump points between systems. Stars may be adjacent in "hyperspace" in a way they are not in "realspace".

Show me a bucket of dark matter if 80 percent of everything is dark matter.
Neutrinos could be seen at once since the traces of particle collisions were bent in ways that would violate conservation of momentum if there was nothing there. Just because the neutral particle didn't make a track didn't make it 'dark'.

As for transgalactic empires or even trade, "faster than light" science fiction accounts for this by requiring "jump gates" (or, for you Mass Effect fans, "relays").
There are space stations around habitable worlds across dozens of galaxies!! but you can't just fly there. You have to use the jump gate and those were created by the Ancients. Nobody is making more of them.

When I was in grad school there were lots of goofball theories like 'supersymmetry' - what if there were twice as many particles as we can see, just bloaty for some reason? well why 2, why not eleventy billion? Anyhow that one has failed all its predictions for a generation, but they just retune the model so we can't detect it. There are several of these floating around and they pissed me off back when they might have been true. They never dropped them when they failed their tests.

I forget the series, maybe it was Niven's known space, but the limitation with his FTL travel was you had to have a sentient pilot to detect gravity and stars somehow. If you just went on autopilot you would die.

Originally, the proposed name for the unseen particles than constitute most of the hidden mass of the universe was "darkies," but instead they eventually settled on Neutrino-Electron-Graviton-Reverse-Orbtals.

A few more missing in fact. Indeed there was some paper a while back about objects seen in '50s star catalogs that are no longer there. And some things that popped up.
Now, recently, but this was in another galaxy, they think they've seen one of those suspected by not yet seen core-collapses of a massive start where there's no supernova, damn thing just collapses to a black hole with no fireworks.

Some have said they were radioactive particles from atmospheric A-Bomb tests. Current telescopes capture several orders of magnitude more stars without finding the winking out.

>> since the traces of particle collisions were bent in ways that would violate conservation of momentum
Our bent tracks so to speak are there galore. You've got the first observation, the galactic rotation curves. Either gravity doesn't work at galaxy scale distances, or there's more mass there. That's our first bent track.
The gravitational lensing. Those galaxy clusters bend light a lot more than the "visible" (which just means emitting EM radiation we can detect) matter.
And then the biggest bent track of all was the Bullet Cluster collision. The visible, EM interacting stuff interacted and slowed down, yet the gravitational lensing showed that a whole bunch of mass just continued sailing right there. There's something invisible bending light there that didn't get bogged down by the collision.

On the front of "modifying gravity", meaning gravity behaves differently at long distances, MOND being a big example, that was dealt a big blow with the recent survey confirming inverse square behavior at the largest scales.
All the evidence screams there is a lot more mass out there than we can "see", which just means it doesn't interact EM-wise.

A story from I, Robot -
US Robots and competitors race to develop a faster-than-light engine that can take people quickly to faraway planets. The first super-brain machine to research it found that no one can live through the space-warp experience, and the machine, unwilling to create something lethal, breaks down. Dr. Calvin talks a US Robot super-brain into gently approaching the problem and quickly reporting in the moment it encounters a dilemma. The brain completes the calculations, builds a hyper-space ship, and sends Powell and Donovan all the way out of the galaxy and back. It turns out that anything that enters a space warp disappears from reality but reappears again after leaving the space warp. Thus, passengers die but then return to life, so there is no lasting harm.

Republicans Sean Duffy, Brandon Gill Expose Democrats' Fathomless Corruption
Brandon Gill grills Chicago's radical racist grifter Brandon Johnson.
Johnson has been receiving expensive personal gifts like cufflinks and Gucci bags from people and organizations he refuses to disclose. He says he accepts these personal gifts "on behalf of Chicago," but I don't think Chicago is wearing the cufflinks or toting the Gucci bags. I think it's Johnson himself.And he says it's nobody's business where the bribes he accepts on behalf of Chicago come from, Honky Ass White Devil.
GRANDPA's FREE ADVICEWhat's Chicago's shoe size?
@GOP_is_Gutless THE PITBULL BRANDON GILL: "On June 12th, 2023, you received HUGO BOSS cufflinks and a personalized Montblanc pen. Do you know who gave you those?" Johnson: "So I did not receive those personally. The city of Chicago..."- Gill: "You received those on behalf of the ciry of Chicago. I understand the difference Do you know who has provided those to the city of Chicago? Do you know who gave those to the city of Chicago?" Johnson: "So again, on behalf of the city of Chicago, there are..."- Gill: "It's a yes or no question." Johnson: "I do not accept. Those are not my personal gifts..."- Gill. "I'm reclaiming my time here, sir. On March 18th, 2024, you received a Gucci tote bag. Do you know who gave you that? Gave the city of Chicago that?" Johnson: "Again, I was here and I was invited..."- Gill: "I'll also take that as a no. On March 19th, 2024, you received a Davinci bag, a Kate Spade purse, and Carucci shoes. Do you know who gave the city of Chicago those?"
Johnson: "Again, I was brought..."- Gill. "I'll take that as a no. I'm reclaiming my time... This raises serious ethical concerns. You're providing an enormous amount of aid to illegal aliens, aiding and abetting criminals who have come into our country illegally. And you yourself are receiving an enormous amount of gifts, and you won't even tell us who they're coming from. That raises serious ethical concerns."

GILLIBRAND: Your [America250] road trip was paid for by companies you oversaw! DUFFY: Do YOU have jurisdictions over law firms? You received $7 MILLION DOLLARS from the TRIAL BAR! GILLIBRAND: Oh my god! DUFFY: You receive $7 MILLION DOLLARS, and you have jurisdiction on the trial bar! Want me to go on the list of WHAT ELSE you received? GILLIBRAND: This hearing is about YOU! DUFFY: I didn't make any money [on the road trip]. Maybe YOU should answer for getting $7 MILLION from the trial bar! $7 MILLION. That goes in state dinners, to put your ad on TV, that's all to YOU! YOU spend that money. GILLIBRAND: You are using your position for political ways. DUFFY: $500K from the TRIAL BAR to fly you on a PRIVATE JET! They paid for you to fly. Answer to that. I made NOTHING. They put your face on TV, your dinners, your vacations. I make NOTHING on this. I make no money.

Every time I see Duffy I rember that M-TV show he was on with his eventual wife, and some loser named "Puck" who encapsulated today's Democrats. Turns out living with a lay-a-bout, idiot, with no care of present, past or future was good experience for Duffy's political career. I seem to recall that Duffy has some competitive lumberjack roots or something. It's been a lot of years.

THis is cool. Isaacman personally owns several F-5s. He has an incentive program in place at NASA. You do good, real good at your job, and you get a free thrill ride with Isaacman in his fleet of F-5s.
This is likely one of those reward flights for NASA employees. They get to buzz a Starship launch.

I tell him anyway my top five after him. Obviously he's not worried since I'm past my prime.
Mel Gibson still on the leader board. I forget the other guy and will remember during my 0300 insomnia.
That weirdo Dim woman Murray needs a new hairdo. I do as well, but I don't wear it the same way as junior high.
So thankful not to be a Dim Womman! Holy smokes they are weird.
Adios for chores and rinsing the ole corms I am to plant later.

America250 road trip.
That seems to be the Ds new ploy, to paint everyone in the Trump administration as "corrupt" in some way.
America 250 was about drumming up support for making America's 250th celebration the single largest day of charitable giving in U.S. history. They also want to synchronize the celebrations, to make it one big block party from sea to shining sea. It is mostly being paid for by corporate sponsors.
Sean Duffy's part of this was attending portions of the "Great America Road Trip". The idea was to drive across the country in American made vehicles, from all manufacturers.
Thta's the whole fucking story. Duffy didn't get paid a dime for his time, or the promotion. He literally filmed himself driving an American made card across the country for a few days. Yeah, with his NINE children.
Guy should get a medal.

Sean Duffy is great, but to be honest, I'm kinda OD'ing on the Duffy clan. First, he had the show with Dagen McDowell and Rachel gets a gig on F&F weekends. Then the daughter, Evita, starts contributing on Fox and Newsmax, and Dan Bongino adds her to his podcast. Rachel is given a new Spanish language show on Fox Nation. Sean becomes Sec of Transp. That's good. Then the whole family takes a road trip, and Rachel writes a book on patriotism.
They seem like really nice people so it's not that I don't like them. I just would like a little more variety in my life.

Sean Duffy's part of this was attending portions of the "Great America Road Trip". The idea was to drive across the country in American made vehicles, from all manufacturers.
Thta's the whole fucking story. Duffy didn't get paid a dime for his time, or the promotion. He literally filmed himself driving an American made card across the country for a few days. Yeah, with his NINE children.
Guy should get a medal.
Posted by: The Whine Guy at May 21, 2026 06:58 PM (eloIc)
I looked up that 250 road trip so see what the fuss was about. Yeah, sponsors maybe paid for a few hotel rooms and if Duffy was in various company cars he didn't have to buy the gas. That is the "how dare you have had sponsorship for this trip, that you filmed to help promote in country tourism". But of course with the FNM to help the Dems can make it sound bad.

I have no time for these idiots. I'm mildly angry at paying their salaries, but I'm equally angry about paying for all the corruption and horseshit government regularly engages in.
I'm much too busy prepping and planting my garden beds. Got the new strawberry plants in today, working on getting the corn bed going. The lettuce, carrots and beans are in. Need to clean out the weeds in the blueberry bushes next.
It's about priorities. I'm just not in the mood for enragement theater today. Lol.

If you're wondering what those massive vapor plumes venting off the ground stations in the background, that's cold N2 venting.
They subcool the liquid "Mee-thane" via LN2 as they're pumping it to the pad. They just blow off that N2 stream back to atmosphere right there.

America 250 was about drumming up support for making America's 250th celebration the single largest day of charitable giving in U.S. history. They also want to synchronize the celebrations, to make it one big block party from sea to shining sea. It is mostly being paid for by corporate sponsors.

Can't wait until he is gone. He was of the worst condemning Trump supporters for J6 when it was obvious the whole thing was a setup.

This is incorrect. The procedure when creating an element name from the name of the ore was to drop the final a, then add "um".
The ore named Magnesia, became Magnesium. And because many ores have that i there, most metals are ium.
The ore for aluminum is Alumina. Drop the I, get Aluminum. This was the case for a couple centuries before the Brits changed the spelling to AlooMiniIum.

John Thune Declares: I Demand a Well-Funded MAGA Primary Opponent In 2028 and I'm Going to Stamp My Little Feeties and Hold My Breath Until I Get It!
You got it, Princess.
Bill MeluginSupposedly this is over his pique at the weaponization compensation fund, but, as with Thomas Massie discovering the Epstein files for the first time weeks after Trump called for him to be replaced -- that's creating a fictional "policy" cover because the power-politics "I'm in charge" gripe is too petty to be admitted.
@BillMelugin_ CBP/ICE funding bill will not be on President Trump's desk by June 1st, as he had said he wanted. Senate going home. Bad vibes on the Hill today.
Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
@julie_kelly2 2h So Thune and company having a temper tantrum over Trump's Paxton endorsement so he's using the weaponization fund as an excuse to once again not do his job. Senate leadership is an absolute disgrace and every single one should be replaced.

c) Blocks Trump's recess appointments
d) NOW TAKES A 10-DAY VACATION?!!!!!

I’m gonna try to be fair. It was a stupid idea to throw that fund into the mix at this point. The senate was ready to push a vote on the bill.
A bit of scrutiny on that fund would be good. In fact it’s the senate doing the job we asked them to do.
Yet into the mix we throw a huge money pot with no published rules or guidelines for access. And we all know how well that goes when the government throws a find out there without some understanding of how it will be spent. Nobody in the senate understood the fund. It’s why the AAG was on the Hill.
It could have waited.

The Republicans, specifically the GOPe, still think that once Trump is gone they'll go back to the good old days of the uniparty . They'll work with their good friends across the aisle to get their cuts of everything they do.
Wrong. Your good friends are dying out or being pushed out by Marxists who want you and your families dead. Your only hope is try and cut the size of government along with Trump. That and hope the Dems immolate themselves

Christy got big-time willowed so here's her update.
344 Due to my recent adventures with a new strain of cholera from the 1800's (not really, but what I named it); I remain tired and goofier than normal (I thought it was Friday, Ace, sorry.Yesterday I was shocked it wasn't Tuesday). I hope this is not permanent.
It will be nothing short of a miracle if I pack well and make the flight on Saturday. I plan a nap on the plane, and am not eating the breakfast they offer as that's the last thing I need to start a trip.
I am also behind in productivity. Even more behind than normal procrastination. My husband has said it does not matter so I will do the best I can.
It used to be when I went out of town the house was super clean in the event the plane crashed and my MIL had to help clean out our stuff. Now she's dead and I am slacking, but still like to come home to a clean house. Full of woe and the wrong day.
Behind in gardening for two weeks. I am currently soaking ranuculus corms and telling you Morons to see what you make of this. It sounds like I am soaking corns on my feet, which I have never had and nor do I soak my feet. It sound kinky, though.

I’m gonna try to be fair. It was a stupid idea to throw that fund into the mix at this point. The senate was ready to push a vote on the bill.
A bit of scrutiny on that fund would be good. In fact it’s the senate doing the job we asked them to do.
Yet into the mix we throw a huge money pot with no published rules or guidelines for access. And we all know how well that goes when the government throws a find out there without some understanding of how it will be spent. Nobody in the senate understood the fund. It’s why the AAG was on the Hill.
It could have waited.

Yep. Don't put this on Thune. There is widespread opposition to this in the Senate GOP from what I am reading. Todd Blanche had a meeting with the GOP caucus about this today and it went horribly for him.

A Senate Majority Leader is like a English king in the Middle Ages. Sure, he's got a crown and a throne but all the barons don't pay much attention to him and if he tries to assert himself he's likely to have a rebellion on his hands. There was only one Lyndon Johnson, after all.

You'd think Thune would understand how politics works by now.

Very immature and girly as in twelve year old girl drama.
Were/Are Thune and Cornyn blow-buddies? Cuz he's sure angrily flouncing about over this.
Weird. Just Weird.
Though, I suppose what really miffs him is that the Incumbent Invulnerability Shield is no match for the Trump Curse.
Pass the SAVE Act asshole.
And the ICE and CPB funding.

The one thing I am thankful for of Massie is his pinecone as I may not get over this, ever.
On their vacations I hope plague ebola fleas invade their nethers and their hookers have herpes.
Also, as I left below before willowed, I am soaking ranunculus corms as I want Morons to make what they will of that. Kinky stuff, man, in my exciting life.

And even in space, you wouldn't want to be looking up the ass end of that thing. IIRC, minimum safe distance in the light of sight to the ass end would be maybe 100 km or something.

There are usually weeks of discussion and something on paper that senators can look at and question. None of that is available. Zero. If I’m a senator I’m not signing off on that.

Do we want to be in the position of defending any hijinx that happen with this fund? I wouldn’t. Especially if I just lobbed a vote over the wall to get home with no regulation or rules around disbursement.

My local talk radio ran a spot this morning about a free $75 you could claim by going to, you guessed it, "get75 dot com." I did a quick review search and found it was about as sketchy as a website can be.

The personal information you have to provide to get your $75 is probably worth 10x that to the owners of the website when they sell your personal information to the highest bidder.

Thune has that snake eating grin like that creepy Cassidy loser...who could be a villain in the next Batman movie.
We all know there will be another Batman movie because writers in Hollyweird are too stoned to come up with anything original. They bore me with their movies. I knew the second or 100th writer's strike was the end of time.
If they were stoned and creative, like I used to be, I would have no issue with it.

Trump's next move might be interesting. He has a tendency to collect leverage or manufacture it. Not sure what skeletons are hanging out there on Thune, but McConnell is a pretty easy one. Start threatening to look a little more closely at his extended family's connections to China and the CCP.
Relative to Thune, I think I'd do an advertising deluge of the fact that he's never worked in the private sector in his life...and is your stereotypical polician who could care less about the average conservative. Everything Trump does includes a prep time acquiring leverage. I can't imagine he left Thune off that list.

Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D) is leading incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman (N.Y.) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th District by more than 20 points, according to a new survey.
In the Emerson College Polling/PIX 11 poll, 56.6 percent of respondents said they would back Lander while 23.1 percent said they support Goldman and 20.3 percent were undecided.

The entire budget process has changed. One of the biggest issues is fraud. People have gotten burned many times by not reading bills. AI and the ability to instantaneously find garbage buried in bills has improved immensely.
But yeah, let’s just say yes to a multi million dollar fund that doesn’t even exist on paper yet.

I don't remember Republicans in Congress fighting hard over the Pigford payout bullshit or Obama's handing out billions in settlements over suits his cronies brought against the feds. That was shutdown by Sessions in Trump's first term not the Senate.
This is just a temper tantrum because Trump took out Cassidy and has Cornyn lined up next. Once you're in the Senate club they will fight harder for you than they ever do for us no matter how big a scumbag you are.

The constant 1g thrust trajectory is very passenger friendly. You've got earth gravity the whole time (until the midway turning point, where you have to shut off, turn around, and then decelerate at 1g). Makes things like space-toilets no problem (but have to be careful at that turning point).
The other little engineering and materials problem is on the journeys to the outer planets, like Uranus, your peak speed in between is going to get a bit high. Space dust and little particles are going to be problem colliding with you. Charged particles would be no problem. You've got a big ass EM field for your "pusher plate", so you can make your own magnetic shield. It's the neutral dust that would be a problem.

Not likely. They will hold pro forma sessions with the sole purpose of preventing President Trump from making recess appointments. They'll send someone to the chamber to gavel in and then 10 seconds later gavel out. McConnell did the same thing. PDT has never had the opportunity of recess appointments because of these RINO creeps.

Then ship him to El Salvador for medical treatment. See how humane I am?

I think ICE will nab him once his broken foot swells. Or even the MN police could surely follow footprints of one barefoot (his right if I recall) and one shoe print. And hear the moaning for every step.
Then ship him to El Salvador for medical treatment. See how humane I am?

20% of the Republicans in the senate will be replaced next election. That’s most of the RINO’s. There will also probably be some Dem pickups.
Things are headed in the right direction.

A controversial game called Plantation Simulator has been released on Steam and is receiving huge backlash from people calling it a slavery simulator.
The game is described on Steam as a simple farming simulator where players motivate workers to work on a plantation.
But the gameplay centers on a whipping mechanic applied to Black workers to increase productivity.
The developer has described it as:
“In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die.”
Holy hell!

On the torn Achilles heel front, knee scooter, peg leg, shower seat, forearm crutches and a bevy of associated pouches and holder have arrived.
First thing I put together was the knee scooter and am in the process of getting used to the peg leg.
Go up stairs is easy, going down stairs is.... interesting.

There's a vid on Facebook from Donny Deutsch. I think he's an arrogant ahole, but he is all over the lady in Texas, Galindo, who wants Zionists amongst others in concentration camps.
The vid is what you'd think, but the comments show what a problem anti semitism is . You'd think you were at a Stormfront meeting. This country has a big problem

Saw a clip of Jim Jordan giving an interview yesterday. He strongly indicated that some of the FBI "assets" at J6 were in fact paid by the SPLC.
It's time to start dropping whatever evidence they have uncovered. The J6 has gone on far too long and more than one Republican Senator, looking at you Cornyn, are going to be eating a lot of shit when the truth comes out.
Cornyn's primary is next Tuesday.

I liked dodgeball in 5th and 6th grade. The entire class. Sides picked. I was pretty good.
In 6th grade we all had to run as fast as we could across the football field. I was the fastest with a boy I sort of liked. I was a dummy to let him win, but I did. Apparently not into women's lib.
After that I had crushes on various boys my diary said. No real boyfriends til college as my life was doomed (in reality I did not care as long as I had a book to read and it beat the drive in slobbering).
I can't believe I used to tell one guy who kept calling that I had to wash my hair. Poor dude. It did not help that my father gave him a nickname and would yell it up the stairs that he was on the phone. My life has been nothing but trauma.

I'm not sure they go nowhere. All they can really do is investigate, produce evidence and refer those they believe did crimes to the DOJ. They've sent a bunch on the grand conspiracy case but I get that the optics make it somewhat less than satisfying.

I have sympathy for this position. But it requires I believe that Thune's reaction and the sudden concern about details is honestly arrived at.
Thune made a deal on the Save Act to save Cornyn. Thune broke the deal and figured Trump couldn't do anything about it
but accept it and see how the race in Texas played out. But despite a huge spending advantage Paxton appears to be in good shape there, so Trump decided its never a bad time to back a winner and also to stick it to Thune who broke his promise.
So now Thune is all butthurt and has decided we will feign fiscal concern, and give the Blanche a hard time.
For me to be with you I must believe that Thune is someone he is not. And I cannot do that. Thune would do well to realize what happened in Georgia Tuesday - Trump ripped the GOPe out of the Georgia GOP. The same can be done in South Dakota for a fraction of the cost.

Busch had to radio in at the May 10 road race asking to see a medic as he had a severe sinus infection. I’m thinking brain aneurysm or severe brain infection
--
What shocking news. Very sad for his family. I can't speculate on the sinus thing other than to say a friend of ours wife had what she thought was a serious sinus infection and it turned out to be brain cancer of some sort.

I admit to not knowing who he was, but I once knew a lovely RN who died from a sinus infection.
Now they don't give you antibiotics til day 10 or wicked symptoms like high temps. They don't care what color it is. I know the current snot rules.
Age 19 I had sinus surgery from my roommate in college smoking cigs like a chimney. Leaving me chronically gross. I have "windows." So if I wanted to snort coke, which I never have, I reckon it would go straight to my brain.
I hope to never, ever, have to deal with that again and keep those windows clear of debris.

What, exactly, would Trump-- and the nation--gain by 6 more years of Cassidy and Cornyn, especially now we see who they really are?

By the time's it's over Jamaica, it should be high enough not to be any danger. I think.
Hell from the latest, he may actually be going to get over Cuber slightly. NASA in the very early days had a boo-boo launching over Cuba.

I responded to the text message with, "Dear Sen. Thune. Pass the SAVE Act like all of America wants. Until then, sincerely go f*ck yourself."
To my amusement, a little while later I received a reply text stating "You have successfully unsubscribed."

Thune won his last Senate primary (2022) with 85K votes versus 24K votes for his opponent. A good, well-funded opponent could easily beat him in a primary in such a small state (population-wise). Door to door.

I bet at least some of the FNM paints the story as poor gimpy was so terrified of the scary LEOs he jumped in spite of the risk. Probably he was too stupid to know that jumping from that height was very likely to cause an injury.

I had great self-esteem but never liked anyone til a guy I met a year before my future husband. Lightning strike.
He unfortunately died of a rare cancer months later, before anything serious. I was working in the university health center. The FIRST time I felt like going out with someone and realizing I was not abnormal, and he felt ok when we met.
I knew whe he died but didn't see him after he was diagnosed. His decision,of which I am now thankful as I was starting nursing school in the middle of this.

The Senate may actually be saved by all of this because the base will be highly motivated to come vote them all out during the primaries and if that goes well then the enthusiasm will carry over to the general.
Asking them to vote for a do nothing senate which has sworn a blood oath to not pass anything the right wants would have been a hard lift. But requited hate is an excellent motivator.

Disney Star Wars: Shit or Garbage?
The Marblemouth and Gorp opens tonight.
The movie was previously tracking at a low $80 million for its three day debut. That's on the level of Soylo: A Soy Wars Soyry (as Ethan Van Sciver called it), which was the first Star Wars movie to lose money. Note this weekend is a four day weekend, but that projection was for the actual Fri-Sat-Sun frame. They estimated that with Monday included, it would make $105 million for the four day weekend. I mean: It's opening tonight so it's a five day "weekend," but the industry pretends that Thursday receipts are really Friday receipts. Which just another lie from the Industry of Lies. But that's been revised. Downwards. Now it's projected to make $80 million... for all four days of the weekend. Maybe $60 million for the three day weekend. Disney doesn't like that headline, so now they're bragging about a $160 million opening weekend. The catch? That $160 million is for the global debut, not the North American debut we always talk about. So this is a big revision downwards which Disney is spinning, incredibly, as double the previous projection. Disney looked around for a shill propaganda outlet that was desperate enough and corrupt enough to print up this corporate lie. Gentlemen, you asked for a miracle. I give you Deadline.'Star Wars: Mandalorian & Grogu' Hopes To Hyper-Space To $160M Global Opening Over Memorial Day Weekend -- Box Office Preview By Anthony D'Alessandro (Chief Corporate Shill)Comparing this opening with the lowest Memorial Day opening ever -- from two years ago. Nice job of bar-lowering!!!
The good news is that this Memorial Day weekend won't be the lowest post-Covid, and Lucasfilm/Disney's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu won't open as low as Warner Bros' Furiosa did two years ago at this time with a $32.3M 4-day. The new hope is that the pic from director Jon Favreau co-written with EP Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor will meet or exceed its $80M 4-day tracking in North America.
That all depends on whether families show up and push the first Star Wars film in seven years to a bigger number. Burger King is a promo partner on the pic, so hopefully Whoppers will have more influence on potential moviegoers than blue milk did for Luke Skywalker nearly a half-century ago.Wow they have a fast-food promotional tie-in? That means it will make a huge amount of money -- No Star Wars film or other corporate IP slop has ever had a Burger King tie-in before!!!
In other words, the global debut is juiced because most movies do not open in every country in the same weekend. In some cases, very big countries like Brazil or Japan or China or the UK have openings weeks after the North American debut. But this is opening everywhere, except Korea.
The global outlook is $160M worldwide, with $80M of that from a 98% footprint offshore.
The only territory not going this weekend is Korea. That start for the $165M net production would be slightly ahead of the global opening of 2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story in like-for-likes. That box office low point in the franchise -- which went into theaters with a lot of behind-the-scenes melodrama (Lord & Miller were fired and the directing reins handed to Ron Howard -- posted a 4-day over Memorial Day weekend of $103M domestic and another $52M abroad.Even shill critics are panning the movie. It is currently just over "rotten" at Rotten Tomatoes, but the bulk of reviews currently tabulated are from hand-picked shills and influencers. It will be Rotten within hours. Most are complaining that it's "meh" or "mid" or a TV episode with a slightly larger budget (but still a cheap, TV look). Those who are sick of masculine action hero and self-declared "Big Bougie Daddy Bitch" Pedro Pascal will be happy to know that he's not really in the movie much, because it's almost always his stunt-doubles in the armor when he has his helmet on. Which is 96% of the time. They're also complaining that it is plainly for children, and by "children," I don't mean 12 year olds. I mean little children. I mean babies. That's not a terrible reposition for the franchise, as it's lost all older fans and all teen fans. Maybe it's best to start over with a New Modern Audience that doesn't know tha Disney Star Wars is a pathetic joke yet. But it's obviously going to result in a low take.. Only babies want to see movies about a baby for babies. And if you want to see a good movie aimed at a younger crowd -- I keep hearing The Sheep Detectives is wonderful. Chris Gore and Allen Ng of Film Threat both praised it, only disagreeing about what audience it's for. Gore thought it was a kid's movie that was also interesting enough for adults, whereas Ng thought it was a good and "worthy" kid's film, but not really one that adults would like.
wait wait wait wait wait -- so God *isn't* a Tranny?

And the movie cost at least $175 million to make.
Doing normal Hollywood estimates, it should need to make $583 million to break even.
Unless this movie has Avatar legs (doubtful), it's going to be a major money loser and a very big stain to start Favreau's and Filoni's reign as head of Star Wars.
Yeah, Kennedy green lit it, but it's all their baby, all while news floats that Filoni hates Andor, the only thing that everyone seems to like about new Star Wars.

Disney made a 2 hour and 12 minute tv season squashed as seperate episodes into a movie...for 6 years olds...who have the attention span of 100 minutes...and don't care for anything but the puppet scenes.
It's apparently a D+ production that folks should wait for D+...or never...
Never reward obvious money grabs. This should have been season 4 of Mandalorian, but they couldn't monetize that, so they made it all worse to sell toys...they are sure they will sell toys (so don't buy those either).

"Gore thought it was a kid's movie that was also interesting enough for adults, whereas Ng thought it was a good and "worthy" kid's film, but not really one that adults would like."
This could be said of The Princess Bride also. But I really liked it, and if I'm flipping around and come across it, I'll stop and watch it.

Now? I seek funding for a time machine that will allow me not to go back and kill Hitler (or, alternatively, Gavrilo Princip [IYKYK]), but rather to travel back to throttle Gerorge Lucas in his crib, with extreme prejudice and maximum violence.
I hate everything about Star Wars and wish it had never been.

Well, it's no 'Farscape' or 'Babylon 5.'
Even Deadline was pointing out that a lot of people thought of it as a long television episode which is not a good thing when you want people to shell out a thousand bucks for tickets and popcorn.
Also, it's based on a show?? Seriously, even if I gave a crap about Star Wars anymore, I don't want to have to do freaking homework to see the latest piece of garbage.
It was kind of cool, I'm on Instagram following some of my favorite actresses and Ariana Greenblatt who was young Gamora in "Infinity Wars" is in Cannes. She's also a model for L'Oreal I guess. She showed pictures of her advertising on huge buildings. It was pretty cool.
And Julia Butters had pictures of the ruins of Pompeii. Also cool.

Something that didn't involve yet another Death Star or other giant weaponized construct would have been a good start. There'd have been pockets of the old Empire that needed to be freed or brought into line. See Poul Anderson's Empire of Earth series with interstellar James Bond Dominic Flandry, or the Polesotechnic League tales with Nicholas Van Rijn (what a great role that would have been for Tim Curry!) and David Falkayn. A tale with Luke, Leia, & Co. stranded on a gigantic planet where they can't eat the food, but need to get to a human station before they starve and so have to make it feasible for the natives to help them, would have worked.

It's so telling that amateurs are doing Spencer Pratt's campaign far more good than anything that's come from a campaign consultant since Reagan. Professionals are vastly overrated.

Fun exercise that someone I know did during The Covid Years - watch all of the Best Picture winners.
He said it was a satisfying thing to do.
His #1 choice: The Best Years Of Our Lives.
1946. Myrna Loy.
Fun to watch a classy lady.

Some of the much older movies are challenging because of the pacing and/pr the music ( overly dramatic or wacky).
I am enjoying seeing quirky characters that are subtle. Everything now has to be QUIRKY or EDGEY because the audience won’t get it of people in general are so weird they have to exaggerate to stand out? But mostly, such a wonderful break from the everyone is gay and/or bi. Truly, could not see another gay couple on screen for the rest of my life and be happy. They have overplayed their hand on this.

Something that didn't involve yet another Death Star or other giant weaponized construct would have been a good start. There'd have been pockets of the old Empire that needed to be freed or brought into line. See Poul Anderson's Empire of Earth series with interstellar James Bond Dominic Flandry, or the Polesotechnic League tales with Nicholas Van Rijn (what a great role that would have been for Tim Curry!) and David Falkayn. A tale with Luke, Leia, & Co. stranded on a gigantic planet where they can't eat the food, but need to get to a human station before they starve and so have to make it feasible for the natives to help them, would have worked.

I admit, I was always partial to Mara Jade's intro (especially since she comes in as Luke's nemesis as the former Emperor's hand). But I love your idea!

I saw the original in the theater in 1977 as a 14 year old science fiction dork/nerd supreme. I couldn't have been more excited, and absolutely loved the entire experience, movie, storyline, spacecraft, characters, actors, everything. It was something brand new and unexpectedly amazing.
I remember that feeling. I felt that way after I came out of Billy Jack.

My older sisters saw that when it was out, when they described the plot I saw the obvious hole in the plot of the kick off your shoes martial arts white indian hero against police corruption - that like Indy Jones did in Raiders to the swordsman in Egypt, someone would have just plugged him very quickly.
but one tin soldier and all that!!

Gary at Nerdrotic brought up something interesting. The studios have all decided -- probably accurately -- that online personalities are more relied upon by modern people for information and "takes" on entertainment. They'll watch their favorite "influencer" for whether something is good or not before they even consider any other source.
So they have begun to focus on these people flying them out for special events etc and getting glowing reviews in response.
And the old school is really pissed at being thrown aside for a bunch of THOTS and douchebags with a camera and a Youtube channel. And they are getting savage in response.

A novelty movie series that should not have continued after the initial trilogy was continued anyway. The rights were a acquired by a massive entertainment conglomerate. That organization was formerly pro-American, at least ostensibly. It was taken over by anti-American dilettantes and communist saboteurs long before that, and acter that had no interest in making a profit, only in manipulating and scolding the audience. Each predictable financial catastrophe was treated as a fluke.
The phenomenon has been echoed throughout the economy. No real interest in making a profit, just setting everything on fire.

- Crisply enunciated dialogue, instead of the mumbling we have today.

Back then I did not know who Carrie Fisher was. Mrs. Wolfus No. 1 and I enjoyed the movie for its depictions of things we'd read about in written SF. And it was the most visually realistic SF movie in many years: It looked "lived in," with scars and streaks on the ships and power cables snaking across hangar floors.
The model and camera work was outstanding too. See the scene where Solo and Luke fire the laser cannon at the attacking fighters. They didn't fire, then we cut to a shot of the ship blowing up; we saw Luke or Solo, the cannon, the starfield, and the fighter exploding all in the same shot.

Anybody who wants to see how a movie *should* work to surprise an audience needs to watch The Sting several times.

I saw "Sheep Detectives".
I liked it, but having had young children, I don't think really young children would be entertained by it.
They'd probably be bored half-way in.
Older kids who are more familiar with the usual mystery tropes and romance shenanigans will more than likely enjoy it.
Adults will do fine if you don't mind a silly comedy.
Very much an old-fashioned style family movie.

Another thing I think are making a dent are movie recaps (even the shitty AI slopped ones). Been able to enjoy movie recaps that last 10-15 minutes for free instead of having to pay $6 and sit through 90 minutes of garbage shit just to find out what happens
Thats how I watched It Follows

Going to see this movie
Victory or Death is a riveting and provocative film telling the poignant story of unsung heroes inside the French Revolution. The year is 1793. Amid the tumult of the Revolution, peasants from Vendée rise up to defend themselves against forced conscription, brutal attacks on the Church, and execution of their king. A retired naval officer, Charette de La Contrie, is pulled from his quiet chateau life when a ragtag group of peasants urge him to lead them and champion their cause. The film traces the reluctant leader as he transforms into a charismatic and brilliant strategist, rallying an unconventional army of ordinary men and women to wage a fierce war in defense of their land, faith, and families, against forces determined to crush insurrection

The directing duo for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) got fired. I think they brought in Ron Howard to tailor it to Disney's vision....AND IT LOST MONEY.
Fast forward to the present day and the most successful film this year: "Project Hail Mary". Guess who directed it?
That's right, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

For Star Wars and other movies I didn’t see them in the theaters first. Instead, a friend would describe entire movies to us in the van on the way to/from gymnastic meets. This was great because we were too young to see them (especially Jaws and Friday the Thirteenth, iirc) and this gal was a great storyteller, lol. Lots of tween girl commentary.

Sympathetic characters are nice but I want interesting character and a real character arc in a story.
Often sympathetic characters mean stagnant thus boring characters.
Also, I think that's a libtard concept that gets us characters loaded up with woke tics that designate them as "good, sympathetic characters".
Not that you'll see it but "The Devil Wears Prada 2" has that by the bucket loads.

What would make movies better for me:
- Better lighting. Everything looks like it was shot in the inside of a casket.
- Crisply enunciated dialogue, instead of the mumbling we have today.
- Modulated sound, instead of deafening noise.
Etc.

The sound and speech in particular annoy me. At first I thought it must be just me getting older but then I saw an old movie and I could hear the dialogue perfectly. Even technically Hollywood is failing.

Now that you've mentioned it, Bulg -- I'll say that his performance gave an ordinary but charming whodunit a thunderbolt surprise worthy of an early Ellery Queen novel. In fact I wondered after seeing it if the Queen cousins, who did some movie work in the mid-Thirties, might have had a hand in the screenplay; but no, they themselves said none of their work ever made it to film.

"The Sheep Detectives" is very good.
"Obsession," a $1M horror indie is excellent.
Shockingly both are competently made. However, Sheep cost $70M and will probably not make its money back at the B.O. (It'll make it back streaming for sure.)
Obsession has already made 25-30x its budget, and about double what Blumhouse paid for it.

There are tons of old classic novels, SF and mystery, lying aorund out there which would make fantastic films. Period pieces, maybe, some of the mysteries, but people seem to love their Agatha Christies from the Thirties.
There is an early Ellery Queen in which Ellery and his father are trapped in a mountaintop mansion with a killer and suspects -- not by the cliched snowfall, but by a forest fire that is working its way toward them. Built-in suspense right there.

There's a very odd movie that's already come and gone, "A Blind Bargain," which is a "re-imagining" of a lost Lon Chaney film, and by "re-imagining" I mean, they used the barest of plot points and set it in 1970.
Starring Crispin Glover.
It's not great, but it's fun. Borderline campy at times. Falls apart at the end. Captures about 40% of the sleaze of an actual 1970 film.

On top of that, he most surely said them with a French accent, as French was his first language.

Make him look and sound like Lt Robert "Bob" Floyd in Top Gun: Maverick (Lewis Pullman, son of Bill Pullman), and it could be funnier. He'd be so low-key other Jedi would forget he was there.

>> its just hovering there in orbit with you.
There's the whole zero boil-off thing to work out, a way to insulate the cryo propellants enough to prevent boil-off loss. Bezos Blue Moon scheme is working on that as well.
Now, with Starship and the Raptors, they use subcooled propellants. Both the LOX and liquid methane are chilled closer to the freezing points rather than at boiling point. That gets more density and efficiency, but means once you fuel it at the pad, you've only got a brief time period before it gets too hot.
So, they've got to get some way to keep it cool down pat.

Yep, to get antimatter, we'll have to make it, since it ain't exactly in abundant supply (one of the ongoing mysteries of why the Universe favored an excess of matter over antimatter -- we wouldn't be here if they were in equal proportions).
And that would take more energy to make it than you'd get from reacting it. Of course the reaction could go much faster.
Also, matter-antimatter annihilation makes gamma rays big time, and there ain't any gamma ray mirror. So making thrust from that reaction would be a problem.

I was thinking...the easiest way to pile on Hollywood and get them to stop with the cultural messaging in everything they do. Someone needs to do a massively successful parody. I'm not talking some fringe entity like "The Daily Wire" and that half-assed movie they did with the basketball players.
I'm talking a mainline film like they did with "Not Another Teen Movie". Essentially, a film like that if successful, takes all the air out of the balloon, and immediately labels any DEI messaging done by Hollywood going forward as immediately recognized and devalued in the eyes of the viewers. Teen movies were all the rage before "Not Another Teen Movie" came out, and then *splat*, the market disappeared and they had to grab onto another trend.
Currently, DEI messaging is a joke in our eyes. It would be interesting to see what happens if it becomes a joke in everyone's eyes.

Also, matter-antimatter annihilation makes gamma rays big time, and there ain't any gamma ray mirror. So making thrust from that reaction would be a problem.

There are gamma ray telescopes, though they dont really focus - its more a matter of excluding gammas from other directions from counting than bending gammas.

Something that is actually conceivable for us, although pretty far away is a fusion engine like the Epstein Drive from the Expanse.
The physics works. There are a few fusion reactions that produce mostly charged particles as output, rather than with a lot of neutrons on the side. Yu can use powerful EM field to push against, without some ridiculous neutron flux.
Here you get crazy high specific impulses (10% c), and that would allow constant 1g thrust trajectories.

Due to my recent adventures with a new strain of cholera from the 1800's (not really, but what I named it); I remain tired and goofier than normal (I thought it was Friday, Ace, sorry.Yesterday I was shocked it wasn't Tuesday). I hope this is not permanent.
It will be nothing short of a miracle if I pack well and make the flight on Saturday. I plan a nap on the plane, and am not eating the breakfast they offer as that's the last thing I need to start a trip.
I am also behind in productivity. Even more behind than normal procrastination. My husband has said it does not matter so I will do the best I can.
It used to be when I went out of town the house was super clean in the event the plane crashed and my MIL had to help clean out our stuff. Now she's dead and I am slacking, but still like to come home to a clean house. Full of woe and the wrong day.
Behind in gardening for two weeks. I am currently soaking ranuculus corms and telling you Morons to see what you make of this. It sounds like I am soaking corns on my feet, which I have never had and nor do I soak my feet. It sound kinky, though.

I had to close my eyes. I tried rehydrating myself with cold Bai, but that upset my stomach and I ended up retching but unable to puke since stomach surgery 20 years ago. Laid down for 2 hours, and was maybe 80%. Not spinning, but light-headed.
Okay today. Is there a new virus running around? It felt like a viral attack, possibly a covid variant that my well-trained cell based, immune system defeated.

Surprise! The DNC's "Autopsy" Is a Sham, a Deliberately Incomplete Document Left Unfinished Because Democrats Don't Dare Tell the Truth About Their Collapse
You don't need an autopsy to know why the Democrats lost in 2024. No one does.
The Democrats know as well. The problem is, they are beholden to their extreme left wing, and they're beholden to the extreme left wing because the extreme left wing in the majority of the Democrat Party. Democrats now know -- if they didn't before -- that transgender "science" is a propaganda lie spun up by WPATH, an organization funded by J.B. Pritzker's transgender brother "Jennifer" Pritzker. It was never true that "gender affirming surgery" reduces suicide -- and multiple studies now prove that beyond doubt. It was never true that "gender affirming" "medicine" improves mental health or well-being. And on top that: The politics of it are horrible. It's a 20-80 issue. But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that is gonzo for gay and transgender extremism is the core of the activist class. Likewise, the Democrats know that Obama's and then Biden's open border policy is absolutely toxic political poison. It's another 20-80 issue. But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that supports the Great Replacement is the core of the most partisan Democrat voters. And they know they foisted a brain-damaged demented fool and corrupt grafter on the country in the form of Joe Biden. But they can't admit that because most of the Democrat Party -- and the media -- is in legal jeopardy should the entirety of their massive conspiracy be revealed. So the "autopsy" is a sham. They never bothered to complete it and left most the issues that actually caused the loss entirely unmentioned. Not underplayed. Not under-analyzed. Unmentioned entirely. The only fake conclusion the sham "autopsy" is certain of...? Democrats and their media allies didn't go negative enough on the man they claimed was Hitler on a mission to destroy America and resurrect the Third Reich. Trump got off so easy you guys!Live Updates: Democrats' Draft Report on 2024 Loss Reopens Political Wounds Ahead of Midterms An incomplete examination of what went wrong for the Biden and Harris campaigns in 2024 was released after it had become an embarrassment for the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic National Committee on Thursday released a draft of an autopsy of what went wrong in the 2024 presidential campaign, highlighting a series of failures and placing blame for Kamala Harris's defeat partly on former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s political operation. ... The draft report, which is disorganized and leaves empty entire sections, blames both the Biden and Harris campaigns for failing to successfully drive a negative view of Mr. Trump. But it otherwise offers only vague or limited conclusions about the party's failings. Mr. Martin had tapped a longtime ally, Paul Rivera, to oversee the creation of the autopsy. But Mr. Rivera's final product was "wasn't ready for prime time. Not even close," Mr. Martin wrote on Thursday. Atop each of the document's 192 pages is a bright red disclaimer that the D.N.C. "was not provided with the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein." (Mr. Rivera declined to comment.) There is not a single mention of Mr. Biden's age, a regular concern of voters and Democratic officials throughout his presidency, nor of Israel and Gaza, an issue that dogged Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris in 2024 and has since fractured the party. Still, it does include a number of revelations, including the conclusions of pollsters who found that a Trump ad attacking Ms. Harris for expressing support for taxpayer-funded surgery for transgender inmates had been highly effective.So one single sub-issue regarding transgender extremism was mentioned. One specific issue about forcing taxpayers to pay for "transitions" of fucking criminals.
Limited conclusions: The draft report's findings were limited, often veering into political clichés and hard-to-follow explanations.From 2020 to 2024, I documented Kamala Harris complaining a thousand times -- and leaking her complaint to the media anonymously -- that Biden had "failed to position her for success." This began, if I remember right, when he made her the Border Czar. He had failed to position her for success by giving her a tough assignment and not an easy one like making her the Black Women are Awesome Czar. When she constantly embarrassed herself by being entirely unprepared at briefings and press appearances, she then blamed her staff for not adequately preparing her. Her staff, she complained to her media allies -- again as an anonymous source familiar with the Vice President's thoughts -- failed to position Kamala Harris for success. Obviously she then complained throughout the campaign that Biden had Failed to Position Her for Success when he anointed her the new candidate. I say all this because what key finding do you think made it into the sham autopsy?
But it argues that Mr. Biden's team failed to position Ms. Harris for success in the race after it became clear she would be the party's nominee and relied too heavily on an assumption that voters would reject Mr. Trump without making a sufficiently strong case for the vice president.Biden called Trump Hitler in a nationally televised address, ranting while bathed in blood-red light. Was that too subtle for the alcoholic and barren Coconut Kamala? Again, we see that the sham autopsy refuses to find fault with Kamala Harris, too. She didn't lose. She just wasn't positioned for success by White Men. This is her narrative, one that she's pissed into the media for four years. And then it babbles about -- get this -- messaging.
Failed strategy: The Harris campaign's inability to diminish Mr. Trump's standing with voters was a "major failure," the report said. It suggested the Harris campaign should have been able to "remind voters of his incompetence," and found that a Trump campaign ad showing Ms. Harris expressing support for taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for transgender inmates had been particularly effective. Midterm worries: Findings from the most recent New York Times/Siena poll underscore the concerns raised in the report that Democrats did not effectively make their case against Mr. Trump in 2024. Nearly 60 percent of Democratic supporters in the Times/Siena poll said they were not satisfied with how much the party was fighting back against Mr. Trump."This report is so stupid," say Democrats.
Democrats "have proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away," Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, who authored the report but is not mentioned in the published version, writes. The autopsy was first released by CNN and shortly after published by the DNC. The incomplete report doesn't mention a number of key issues that continue to dog the Democratic Party, including the issue of the war in Gaza. In 192 pages, it sparsely touches on former President Joe Biden's decision to drop out. It also appears to lack any formal conclusions about what went wrong. Both the report and the process drew immediate, scathing criticism from prominent Democrats. ... "It feels like what the DNC is doing is cherry-picking the parts of it that it wants to actually release, that [are] less problematic for the party going forward, because most of the stuff that we're reading right now is ... not groundbreaking."
... "The report's so stupid, it's hard to make sense why something's in there and why it's not," another senior Democratic operative close to the process who was granted anonymity to speak candidly told POLITICO in an interview.

Technically true. Her district is 59% white. I'm skeptical that's really true, but let's assume it is. But the kicker is the remaining 40% is almost half foreign-born, the majority from Africa.
But regardless, I think this is a machine district. I think this district will be won by whoever the MN Dumocrap party wants to win it. If the party wants The Blade to win this district, he will. It won't matter that his platform will be "Throw these smelly mutant motherfuckers the hell out of my country ... except the hot ones!"

> But it argues that Mr. Biden's team failed to position Ms. Harris for success in the race after it became clear she would be the party's nominee and relied too heavily on an assumption that voters would reject Mr. Trump without making a sufficiently strong case for the vice president.

*biden's staff was assumed to be of help. No, they did not help Kamala. The staff thought they'd swing into another 4 year gig with *biden at the helm* Instead they found out they'd be out of a job come Kamala's installation as President, or if Trump won.
There was no way *biden's staff was going to lift a finger to help the incompetent Harris staff prep for the election.

Kamala likely sealed her loss when she said she wouldn't do anything different from Biden.
If she had just given the normal sort of Dem non-speak and claimed she'd make things better by changing Biden's policies where they weren't working she would have had a better chance.
But 100% real inflation over 4 years under the Junta? People weren't going to vote for that

Of course, Harris can't explain she was positioned for failure by Biden putting her in charge of the border, because then she would have to admit that the policy was horrible.

Just an observation -- it is extremely hard to position a falling down and incoherent drunk for success in the public arena. Unless that person is Foster Brooks (and he was acting that way, not living it, as was Red Kammie).

Earlier I complained about the housing market being bought up and manipulated by BlackRock.
I was corrected and told that it was not BlackRock
that it was Blackstone.
---
Who owns Blackstone?
Blackstone Inc. is primarily owned by institutional investors, with significant stakes held by The Vanguard Group (approximately 9.5%), BlackRock (around 4.7%), and State Street (about 4.3%). Stephen Schwarzman, one of the co-founders, remains the largest individual shareholder with roughly 19% of total equity.
---
So, it's not just BlackRock it's the Big 3 institutional investors, in collusion, that are putting watermelons on big company boards of directors influencing DEI and other leftist activities by big corporate who are disrupting the natural home market.
I stand corrected.

This "Autopsy" is surely a sham, but it's also ... awesome. I love it.
The "Autopsy" shows that the Dumocraps have learned absolutely nothing from getting ass-raped in 2024. Nothing.
They will continue with the same policies and platforms that caused their ass-raping. They will not say to themselves, "Hey, we got ass-raped in 2024 because of x, y, and z. Maybe we should stop doing x, y, and z?"
This is awesome. I love it.

The Democrats may be insane but Republicans are also faggot fucks. Democrats mainly lost because Trump beat them like rented mules. Getting shot probably didn't hurt (God that sounds wrong).
We cannot lose sight of this fact. Trump took basic issues and hammered Democrats on them until they bled. It is not the mere Existence of the issues that got them. It was Trump's willingness to expose them and then promise to fight them. He did not go mealy on them to prove he wasn't racist or to get nicer questions.
And no, Democrats of course cannot admit Trump beat them either, though there's a chance you will hear a lot about how great Trump was at "politics" come next election, when they laugh at how we have no more Trump to help us win.

And then the next election Donald Trump won the nomination and presidency by promising the opposite of that?
Methinks party autopsies are...bullshit.
It's not a surprise. The autopsy is done by the same people who screwed the pooch with the last campaign. They're not likely to suggest that the best way to recover is to fire themselves.

Suprise! And here everyone thought Trump was just going around killing off the GOPe in the primaries due to his popularity - not so - it's all a sham says The Independent!
Because, you know, Fox Polls say so...

Progressives.
Spring and summer of an election year is particularly bad for response bias, and almost no pollster tries to correct for it.
This is one reason the polls "tighten" in autumn.

It's what we already knew. Informed, educated people vote (D). Uneducated and/or uninformed people vote (R) because they fall prey to misinformation.
"Plus the media is heavily biased toward forgiving Republican crimes, while attacking Dems." Which is exactly what we saw with reporting on this autopsy. Meanwhile, Trump is giving himself immunity, pivoting the economy to fascist corporatism, and covering up a cabal of child rapists.
I agree with you the GOP has full control of the media, but holy shit, the DNP couldn't have flubbed this report any worse. They are so tone def, that it makes ne suspiscuous it's on purpose. I really think half the DNC are just GOP parading as Dems.
The report is completely right about field organization - door knocking and genuine, qualitative local engagement matter way more than raw data and slick digital ads. The DNC needs to stop treating elections like a corporate marketing campaign.
"Dems are for They/Them, Republicans are for YOU." There you go, that's the tldr. I didn't say it's true, but it's the perception.
Which is hilarious because Dems are for everyone, while Republicans are for billionaires.

Those are “Republican Strategists” who come up with that shit. Democrats in Drag. Some sort of op.
That’s how you got Trump. It was gonna be Bush v. Clinton. Again, for like the 3rd or 4th time. If you can control the candidates of both parties, they care not who “wins”. They might have to dial things back a bit, but it’s no problem either way.
“….His kind must never be allowed to rise again” is what that refers to, I think. “Nothing without the Uniparty, Everything within the Uniparty.”

Let's be honest. Collins may put the letter "R" after her name, but she is a democrat. She isn't a vote that we can count on. Let her fail. It gets her out of the Senate. We'll get the seat back when Platner fails.

But ... it's beautiful, clean, friendly, and there's a lot of cool stuff to do. We went snorkeling with sharks. For real. We jumped off a boat with maybe two dozen sharks circling around it. Got some great pics.

150 Let's be honest. Collins may put the letter "R" after her name, but she is a democrat. She isn't a vote that we can count on. Let her fail. It gets her out of the Senate. We'll get the seat back when Platner fails.
That's a nice thought, but probably wrong. Collins is as good as we're going to do in Maine.

Collins always comes through for GOP leadership when they need her. Always.
They let her vote against them when her vote doesn't matter anymore.
She's 100x better than Murkowski.

This is true.
Polling is generally kind of bad.
Polling in Maine seems to be particularly bad.
Collins is going to walk to the win again. She's just waiting for Platner's nomination to be official, and then the real hard hitting stuff comes out.

55 Kamala likely sealed her loss when she said she wouldn't do anything different from Biden.
If she had just given the normal sort of Dem non-speak and claimed she'd make things better by changing Biden's policies where they weren't working she would have had a better chance.
But 100% real inflation over 4 years under the Junta? People weren't going to vote for that
Posted by: 18-1 at May 21, 2026 03:18 PM (sKqQm)
It was impossible for her to say she'd do any single thing different than Biden had done. In order to say, "Yes, this and that," she would have had to think creatively in real-time. That was and is far beyond her mental capacity.

Tom Cotton waited until his nominee was actually chosen about a decade ago and then released an oppo dump so bad and so thorough that the guy straight up dropped out of the race. Cotton ran unopposed.
I bet Collins is going to try that.

They don't produce nearly enough food to feed themselves (nearly a quarter of their imports are food), and they're losing $450 million a day in lost trade.
We're dealing with Biden era gas prices.

Hawaii was great. Odd state, though. There are no Hawaiians there. They are a tiny minority on their own island. The majority demo is ... Japanese. Yes, Japanese. Many signs are in English and Japanese. That's how many Japanese residents and tourists there are there.
Hawaii has basically been colonized by the Japanese. The irony.

It's not just the Japanese, it's pretty much Pan-Asian island.
Being that I love Asian food, it's paradise. It's an actual melting pot of Asian cultures with Hawaiian and American.
Too bad so many have jumped on the tribalism bandwagon lately.

Mike Duggan, the very successful Democrat mayor of Detroit, responsible for bringing Detroit out of bankruptcy (official today) and spurring a renaissance of rebuilding and restoration of Detroit as a center of innovation and commerce, has announced he is dropping out of the race for Michigan governor. Duggan ran as an independent for governor.
My sense is either there was some bombshell leak of corruption coming out in the next couple of days of Duggan's time in office or the Democrats approached him with an offer too good to pass up.
Many Republicans were considering Duggan based on the huge turnaround he brought to Detroit and his statements regarding sensible regulations on data centers( no, he's not a NO DATA CENTER lunatic) tax policies, and refiguring of state rules on green energy, including myself.,
Now I have to look at the Republicans, which is a hard one to decide. John James has been pretty much worthless in Congress, Perry Johnson is just weird, and Mike Cox. I'm probably leaning toward Cox.

doubt any of it is truly locally-caught. I'll bet it's all caught somewhere else, flash-frozen on the boat, and then flown in. I'm sure there are places where you can get truly fresh fish in Hawaii. But I'll bet the majority of fish is flown in from somewhere else.

A lot of the blame falls on Elon buying Twitter. The Democrats could no longer control the narrative.

Elon certainly helped but they were losing control of the media monopoly even before that, because they are crap at running things. Their stations fail, their movies tank and people find ways to get information around their crude bans. Back in the day the HS Russian club knew that Kennedy Half Dollars were in huge demand on their tours to the regular USSR citizen because he defied them in Cuba.

I have no idea what the fishing is like around there maybe not that good. I always got a kick about florida, because I have caught fish and boated straight to the wholesaler's dock and sold it.

Simpler, the reason the Dems lost in 2024 is because there were too many people watching to see if they would cheat at the level they did in 2020.
That Kamala got like 10 million LESS votes than Biden? Yet Trump only got like 4 million more votes?
That is like 14% of Dem voters suddenly either didn't vote, or changed their minds? uh... no... Human nature, ESPECIALLY on the LEFT, does not change their stance that rapidly.

Why?
Why not squeeze Iran for months by denying them their only major source of trade?
The combination of the Caspian Sea and railroads to Pakistan represent roughly 1% of the trading capacity from the Persian and Oman Gulfs. And the oil rich country has no refining capabilities.
They don't produce nearly enough food to feed themselves (nearly a quarter of their imports are food), and they're losing $450 million a day in lost trade.
We're dealing with Biden era gas prices.
Keep going, Trump. Squeeze more.

I was on Oahu (mostly in Waikiki and environs) and my take is those stats undercount the number of Japanese. I would say well over 50% are "Asian" with the most being Japanese (probably 60% of that 50%) followed by Korean and Filipino. I didn't see many Chinese.
The natives are barely noticeable. The only place you really see them is working as laborers in stores. They are like the Hawaiian version of the Mexican laborers you see in mainland cities.

>Forbes, Business, 'Kamala Harris Has MORE Billionaires Prominently Backing Her Than Trump - Bezos and Griffin Weight In (Updated) October 30, 2024
Topline
Forbes found at least 100 billionaires n the corners of either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris-with many more backing Haris - but unlike the world's richest man Elon Musk, who stumps extensively on Trump's behalf, many have elected to watch from the sidelines, like Warren Buffett and mark Zuckerberg.
Key Facts
Our breakdown records 83 billionaires supporting Harris and 52 backing Trump so far (see the lists for both below.)
Much more followed.
---
>Fox 59 List: There are the billionaires backing Kamala Harris
>Yahoo Finance: 7 Billionaires that have thrown big backing behind Biden's Presidency
>Americans for Tax Fairness: Billionaire Clans Spend Nearly $2 BILLION on 2024 Elections
And so on.
And I don't buy for one minute the "Tax the Billionaires" BS that comes from the mouths of half of the lunatics. The billionaires keep them.
Any "Wealth taxes" instituted will go thru lower incomes, limit benefits to "working families" as THEY DEFINE, etc.

295 To better understand the Democrats' dilemma, imagine if Kamala Harris were suddenly, somehow made magically conservative yet still remained the vacuous idiot she's always been. Selling her as a viable candidate would still be the hardest job in the world.

Oh, we don't have to wonder about that.
The white progressives who think they run the party are going to go scorched earth against her when the primary starts. They're currently holding out hope that she simply...chooses not to run.
Once she does, they're going to be brutal, and it's not going to matter. Black Dems won't fall away, she'll win SC by 50 points, and then the party is going to have to tell black women that their preferred candidate, as expressed in an actual election, is not worth it and they need to step aside for Newsom or whomever.

The former U.S. President and First Lady own residences in Chicago, Massachusetts, and Washington, each worth $20 million." No mention of any place that is theirs in Hawaii.
==
It is owned by an LLC. Per hawaii TV station:
Obamas have not sold their Hawaii home. In fact, the couple’s custom beachfront estate in Waimānalo on the island of Oʻahu was reportedly nearing completion and is actively used as their personal sanctuary. (its the old site of the Magnum PI house.)

Just for S&G I pulled this up about Honolulu/Waikiki:
"The racial makeup of the county was 43.9% Asian, 20.8% white, 9.5% Pacific Islander, 2.0% black or African American, 0.3% Native American, 1.1% from other races, and 22.3% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino residents of any race were 9.1% of the population."
That seems about right, but add in all the Japanese tourists and the significant portion of natives who are hidden in labor jobs, and you'll have my experience.

She was proven non viable outside CA fraud her whole career. She dropped out in 2000 polling 5th or something in the Primary in her home state...before even voting for the Primary. Biden took her as VP because she was the only Democrat that would be worse as President than he would be. Biden forced her to be the nominee when he was forced out by Obama which put the Dems in a hopeless position.

Then Trump does it.
Obama's not quite the same, but the ideological capture the Dems are facing is all his fault. To break it, they have to break with Obama, and who could do that? Not any governor or senator. They'd get shut out of media in a heartbeat.
It'd take...another Trump. A billionaire with the kind of money to break through media blackouts and keep his message going.
No leftist billionaire would do it though. They all agree with Obama.
So, the left is fucked for the time being, hoping their cheat machine works again.

he doesn't have to go to war, he is currently getting everything he needs, right now.
For 80 years the USN enforced every blockade the Europeans wanted, and by putting the bite on Iran, (for a while Iraq), and Venezuela the USN made sure that China, India and the Euros could buy sanctioned oil at below market price off the "shadow fleet" no one seemed to be able to find.
Now, with IRGC determining that the Straits are closed, and with the USN enforcing that, China and the Euros are paying market price and are quite unhappy about it.
So they are trying to figure out how to either make a deal or force Iran into making a deal.
Aaaand the IRGC generals get paid off of shipments of embargoed oil, and they are currently dipping into their savings to keep things running at home.
It may fall apart, but the moment we invade, the whole playhouse get kicked apart and Trump can't control that near as much.

Which is especially funny since Democrats get more corporate money by several orders of magnitude than the GOP or RNC. But facts don't really matter to these people anyway.

Well, that's just further proof that the Democrat Party is a conservative party dressed up as progressive. The only way forward is to break from it and vote socialist.

It could happen, as you say Biden was pulled along in 2000 by a bunch of curious oppo drops on supposed contenders that I was never quite sure who was dropping the dirt. Tulsi's gutting of Kamala in the dem debate was one such incident. And some tricks to neuter the usual "Iowa Winner is gonna change things the press does.

Big pot, water, chicken broth, a little salt & pepper, ham bones with some meat still on them, add the collard leaves (no stems), and boil about four hours.
That’s never failed us when making them.

"failed to position Kamala Harris for success."
Stupid and lazy people think everyone else is also stupid and lazy, and so they must have "staff" who prepare them for success, rather than getting of their asses and doing the work.
So therefore, they believe in such idiotic concepts as "equity" (not the mortgage kind, the stupid people affirmative action kind), since obviously their failures are patently not their fault.
The entire concept is likewise stupid and lazy.
Or, one could say, that shit's all gay and retarded.

Democrats now know -- if they didn't before -- that transgender "science" is a propaganda lie spun up by WPATH, an organization funded by J.B. Pritzker's transgender brother "Jennifer" Pritzker. It was never true that "gender affirming surgery" reduces suicide -- and multiple studies now prove that beyond doubt. It was never true that "gender affirming" "medicine" improves mental health or well-being.

The Dems lost because they finally burned through the last shred of credibility, gravitas and undeserved respectability they inherited from previous generations of "sensible" "mainstream" Democrats in long ago decades. Finally, in 2024, they were surviving on their own current reputation, and not on old-timey 'working class folks': auto-voting "D' every election by default, because they always have done so, as did dad and Grandad. The Dems burned through that Unmerited Accrued Reputation, and were left flat broke.

BREAKING: DOJ tells
@FoxNews
that 32-year-old Muhammad Abdulqadir Omar, the accused Minnesota fraudster seen on video jumping off a fourth story balcony and fleeing from federal agents, is wanted for $3.3 million in Medicaid fraud and is still on the run. Photo of vehicle he is believed to be driving as well.
Per DOJ: "Muhammad Abdulqadir Omar, 32, was charged by indictment with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and four counts of health care fraud in connection with a scheme to submit $3.3 million in fraudulent claims to the Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) Program of Minnesota Medicaid, of which approximately $3.2 million was paid. As alleged in the indictment, Omar co-owned and operated North Home Health Care LLC (NHHC) and Omar individually owned South Home Health Care LLC (SHHC). Omar, through NHHC and SHHC, submitted claims to the HSS Program for services that they did not provide and for more services than were actually provided to Medicaid recipients. Omar then created records falsifying the services that they claimed to have provided to Medicaid recipients and provided those records to insurers to justify their fraudulent claims."

I don't believe the autopsy. Those bloodsuckers aren't dead yet, they are just playing possum. Cut off the head, shove garlic in the mouth and neckhole, stake the corpse to the ground through the heart, light it on fire, riddle it with silver bullets from a ma duece and let the smoldering remains bake in the sunshine for a few months . You can never be too sure with these evil creatures.

Awesomesauce: The "Quality Learing Center" Somali Pirates Exposed by Superstar Muckraker Nick Shirley Indicted on Federal Charges
Do we need some good news?
I think we need some good news.Now they will be prosecuted and imprisoned and later, I hope, denaturalized and deported.
The owner of a Minneapolis day care featured in a viral video by Nick Shirley exposing fraud has been federally charged with wire fraud and conspiracy for allegedly stealing over $4.6 million through false claims to federal nutrition and state childcare assistance programs. Fahima Egeh Mahamud, CEO of Future Leaders Early Learning near George Floyd Square, is charged with falsely claiming to serve thousands of meals through Feeding our Future while defrauding Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program. The day care allegedly pocketed more than $4.6 million in fraudulent claims before closing in January following state investigations triggered by a viral Nick Shirley video in December.
🚨UPDATE: Minnesota fraudster is charged for childcare fraud. Fahima Mahamud received 3.67 million dollars for her “daycare” and tried to escape America prior.

This is the SAME daycare where the $250 million dollar “feeding our future” scam took place

David Strom links this embarrassing act of anti-journalism from CNN, in which an anti-journalist attempted to debunk a plainly true story by calling up the pirates and asking them "Are you doing a piracy?" When they said "no," CNN said "Ah-ha, we have disproven the racism!"
The CNN “reporter” on the phone in the hotel wasn’t even interested in the fraud — she was interested in investigating Nick Shirley and “his claims."
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) April 29, 2026
She was hoping to discredit Shirley. It was utterly pathetic.
So, on brand for CNN.pic.twitter.com/VS86CuTnbY https://t.co/xjzWyZUODx
Nick just exposed some more Somali pirates, who cursed him and threatened him for asking questions about their " " " " business. " " " "
Ilhan Omar still has not said ONE WORD about the fraud in Minnesota. Not once has she addressed the fraud or spoken out against the blatant fraud. Investigate Ilhan.

AH. Federal and State charges.
If it was state alone, they'd let her plea down and then get probation, which would then be expunged.
With Federal charges, it's likely she'll actually do time and be deported.

Remember when the

fraud video went absolutely nuclear & CNN was literally *forced* to cover it - so they sent a reporter to sit in a hotel room and make phone calls?
CNN: “Hello, are you doing fraud?”
Learing Center: “Um… no?”
CNN: “Okay, thanks. Bye!”
This is how the FNM works. Remember their response to the Haitians eating wildlife was to ask the town manager who's housing they were staying at if they were doing it and he said no...and then they ran with "this story has been debunked"

"This patient was later found dead. Meanwhile, the architect of this fraud scheme was billing Medicaid as if he was providing care to this patient."

I'm on the board of a legit pre-school. Voluntary, zero compensation.
1) Staffed from 7 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. And sometimes on weekends when we have school events.
2) Someone answers every call and returns every message.
3) If you are a prospective parent, and show up at the door, we'll let you in and give you a tour of the place. People film the tours all the time, to show to their husbands and relatives - where to place your kid is a big decision. It's how we get our new customers, since the kids constantly age out of the program.
4) we have all sorts of brochures to hand out to people interested in bringing their kids there.
The behavior of these people is NOT normal in any way. It doesn't even make business sense - why would you threaten visitors? Let them in and show them around. At most you might ask them not to film the children for privacy issues.

The behavior of these people is NOT normal in any way. It doesn't even make business sense - why would you threaten visitors? Let them in and show them around. At most you might ask them not to film the children for privacy issues.

My local school board was crying poverty recently. With the help of teacher unions, they guilt tripped the citizenry to vote for new bonds “for the children”!! Property taxes increased by several hundred dollars a year on average.
What happened less than a year after the bonds passed? Teachers and administrators all got massive raises.
The grift/fraud is everywhere at every level of government.

Yeah, the $9+ billion in this fraud in just 1 of 50 states is significant. No hand waving out other fraud will make it seem less important.

You know I once made a mistake on my taxes. A legitmate mistake. Of course it was over a few hundred bucks I hadn't submitted the correct way, not you know 10000X times my net worth.

This is all fine and dandy. Identify the fraudsters locally, indict, convict, deport. GREAT!!!
BUT, I want to know where the money went. A TSA whistleblower stated that three international flights were taken weekly with and estimated $6 million in cash in suitcases. That's about $18 weekly flying out of Minneapolis to parts unknown overseas (not even including the same in Dublin, OH; Portland, ME etc.) SO TRACK THE FREAKIN MONEY and give me some names (organizations et al) of who is the biggest benefacor of this massive fraud. We can, already, assume the Somali billionaire owners of Dahabshiil Money Transfer are somehow involved. WHO ELSE?

“Of the 5600 people who are being revalidated, the state has told us as recently as May 7th that only 40% have responded, rather, 40% have not responded or their responses are clearly inadequate.”
“We believe that by the end of this month, which is the deadline that half of these providers may no longer be allowed to provide services.”
“That is a lot of people doing things to other human beings that are not supposed to have been able to do them. Again, that is the humanitarian risk that we’re facing.”
“We’re here to fix these problems. We love these programs, but we’re going to CRUSH the fraudsters who threaten with corruption the foundation of the social safety net we have built in this wonderful nation over the last 60 years, since the foundation of Medicaid and Medicare.”
“We’re going to make as many visits as we need to Minnesota. I’ve been here. I’ll come back. So is everyone else on this panel.”

Many of them are buying fancy cars and there was one guy on video wearing $11,000 glasses. So apparently they are spending it, but they still look like third world $hitholers.

He knows that people here view antisemites with contempt, so he's using that as a way to spin people up. Please remember that he's only here to get a reaction. He doesn't believe anything he says.

If you are leftist, the anti-semite will come out, you can bank on it. We hate banks, lenders, big companies, renters...because historically these were dominated by Jewish people in Europe because land ownership was forbidden or restricted to keep them out of the aristocracy.

It's laughable to imagine that these people would start working and earning their way. They're ALL going to have to be jailed, tossed into the street, or sent back to their country of origin. They will never engage in legit, productive work.

Pudgy, fat boy, sausage fingered, sweaty slob, Cheeto crumbs in his fat rolls, pants pulled up to his moobs, Chris Christie was responsible for prosecuting Kushner. He made sure that he went outside the guidelines for white collar crimes, which are typically non custodial sentences, and sent Kushner to prison. He did that largely to burnish his credentials and ensure he was able to afford a future uninterrupted supply of fatty snack foods and sugary soda for his bloated, girthy, ten pounds of cottage cheese in a five pound garbage bag frame.

States can try by information--that is at a pretrial hearing, law enforcement and prosecutors state probable cause and provide enough information to the judge to meet that standard. Pretty quick.
All federal felony charges MUST by the Constitution go through the grand jury process for an indictment. States have the option of either but often choose to try by information as faster and cheaper.

178 At least the Italians had the courtesy of laundering money through pizza places that never sold a single slice...
Posted by: Octochicken
I read a true story about a guy that stumbled into one of the mobbed up heroin selling pizza parlours by accident. He saw a bunch of guys sitting around bullshitting and tried to order a pizza to go. The wiseguys looked at each other like what the hell do we do. Then they decided okay, let's make him a pizza. The dude ordering it says it took a bit but the pizza was actually pretty good.
He found out later when the news reports had the place busted for heroin trafficking.

The first takes the longest if the perps decide to cooperate, then it is much shorter. Lawyers for the defendants know that the feds don't take unwinnable cases to court and that conviction is 95 percent plus for the feds. So most defendants take pleas rather than fight it--and if you are taking a plea, why not shorten your sentence by ratting out others to make it shorter.
So the second, third, and subsequent indictments of others come faster as a result of the first scalp. And those defendants best have some other schmucks to turn in as the deals get stingier as time goes on. Best to throw yourself on the mercy of the courts because the Fed control over money information flows is damned good to the point that Fincen is a key weapon to fight terrorism and corruption. Follow the money.

If all they do is vote through nominees, that is about par for the course in an election year for the best of presidents.
The fake recess, not adjournment btw as that happens at the end of the session, might also be to prevent a War Powers Resolution vote moving forward from the Senate as that was moved to the floor from committee.

Fat Harv's rape trial ended with another hung jury. Reportedly, it was 9-3 to acquit, including all the women on the jury. Three men were holding out to convict.
This was the case where the accuser, Jessica Mann, admitted that she had a consensual sexual relationship with Fatso after the alleged rape in a hotel room where she just happened to randomly find herself.
Because it's totally normal for women to have consensual relationships with their rapists after they've been raped.
The jury didn't believe her bullshit story.

I mean, it's straight up theft. Not a dime of our taxes ever went to buy a tank, or build a bridge or feed an American family who's starving.
Not a single fucking cent. It went to illegals, fraudsters and our politicians... who are all in on it.

You and I get stopped on the freeway by the state police, the money would be seized under civil asset forfeiture statutes. I suspect even flying out of MN with the wrong nationality would get us seriously questioned and Treasury would be brought in to ask penetrating questions.

Don't care as much about getting it back as much as I care about who was involved. I have a bad feeling that the DNC saw quite a bit of it. Keep in mind that Biden used and executive order to appropriate $46.9 Billion to these abused programs after Congress shot it down in legislation. The executive order, also, took apart any oversight. This is orchestrated, and the DNC isn't going to push something that doesn't directly benefit themselves.

I'm sure some people still think I'm being hyperbolic when I say the fraud is the entire $38T in debt, stolen over decades from the taxpayers in the single largest theft of public wealth in history.
I mean, it's straight up theft. Not a dime of our taxes ever went to buy a tank, or build a bridge or feed an American family who's starving.
Posted by: Martini Farmer
================
Not an exaggeration. Maybe $17T was the principle of the theft and we're paying 100% interest on it as well at this point.
I truly wonder how much we can remove from that debt in the next, say, 2 years if we continue to rigorously go after this fraud until the end of Trump's term.

John Ringo's book The Last Centurion has a great explanation of high-trust vs low-trust cultures. Low-trust is basically "Are you family? No? Then fuck you." And there's a funny bit where he explains the relationship by looking at what happens when a hypothetical liberal ass-wipe from a high-trust culture loans his lawn mower to a low-trust dickhead. If he gets the mower back at all, it's returned with missing parts, totally inoperable and worn out because the guy who borrowed it used it to mow the whole neighborhood's lawns to make money. As far as the low-trust guy is concerned, the pansy liberal is nothing more than a mark who deserves to get cheated.

This is a hot topic with me. This is exactly what our intelligence community is for...overseas tracking of money damaging the security of our nation economically. We have just dismantled USAID (DNC slushfund), ACT BLue (DNC fraud center and slush fund), and the DNC is dependent on under the threshhold smaller donations which are large donations distributed amoung unknowning participants, foreign sources in non-reportable and unscrutinized amounts. The fraud generated by this Somalis and moved overseas aided by the sabotage of oversight by the DNC (and Biden administration) activates a gian Occam's Razor (as it did with the big push to get funds to Ukraine...which has been shown to boomarang right back into DNC coffers).
The run this ops for finances. And, they're running out of sources.

We have just dismantled USAID (DNC slushfund), ACT BLue (DNC fraud center and slush fund), and the DNC is dependent on under the threshhold smaller donations which are large donations distributed amoung unknowning participants, foreign sources in non-reportable and unscrutinized amounts. The fraud generated by this Somalis and moved overseas aided by the sabotage of oversight by the DNC (and Biden administration) activates a gian Occam's Razor (as it did with the big push to get funds to Ukraine...which has been shown to boomarang right back into DNC coffers).
The run this ops for finances. And, they're running out of sources.

Just keep the Democrats away from the levers of power for as long as it takes to make "elections" fraud proof. Whether that takes a decade or five.... just do it.
It'd go a long way to fixing things the left has wrecked.

Trump Is Booting Illegal Aliens Out of Taxpayer-Funded Welfare Housing and I Am Here For It
Thomas Massie, Illegal Alien Simp and Friend of Illegal-Hiring Businesses, is sad. His pinecone is droopy.
Home prices are squeezing American family budgets. The median home price is up 60% since 2019, now five times the median household income. The country is short more than 4 million homes, and a record 22.6 million renter households are spending more than 30% of their income on rent. Housing costs have risen another 14% in just the last two years. While Americans are fighting for a place to call home, a recent Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Homeland Security investigation revealed major eligibility errors in HUD housing programs. HUD found nearly 6,000 confirmed ineligible tenants, and another 200,000 more tenants who have gone through zero eligibility verification. In addition, HUD identified 25,000 deceased tenants still living in taxpayer-funded housing units. These aren't likely empty units. Someone is wrongly receiving this benefit.You'll be shocked to hear this, but Congress passed laws to restrict public housing to US citizens, but were conning the rubes as usual. On paper, illegal aliens weren't allowed. In reality -- no one bothered checking, so illegal aliens were allowed. But the rubes didn't know so the rubes couldn't complain.
Federal law is clear: Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act limits HUD housing assistance to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens. In addition, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 prohibits public welfare benefits from going to illegal aliens and requires HUD housing programs to verify immigration status at the point of application, now a nearly instantaneous process through the SAVE program. Yet HUD rules have systematically avoided this verification until now. Instead of using the existing Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, HUD created two workarounds. The first is the "do not contend" provision, under which a tenant declares they do not contend their non-citizen status and receives prorated assistance anyway. This is blatantly illegal. The second workaround is an age exemption HUD fabricated 15 years ago under the Obama administration. Current regulations exempt anyone 62 or older from verification, but this has no basis in federal law. It turns out, in contrast to federal law, the federal government has been incentivizing illegal immigration by offering taxpayer-subsidized housing along with other welfare programs by not using any verification to ensure benefits are going to only eligible individuals. Hundreds of thousands of tenants, including able-bodied adults, have spent years, even decades, in federally subsidized units still needing eligibility checks. This is exactly what has been prohibited for 30 years, and it's part of what's driving up housing prices today.Read the whole thing. Trump is sending the illegals back home and limiting illegals' access to loans and banking services.
Thanks to President Trump and HUD Secretary Scott Turner, every housing authority in the country must finally verify eligibility. This is a strong step towards restoring public trust in HUD housing. For the first time, the system Congress mandated will be employed.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing banks to more aggressively scrutinize illegal immigrants, closing a fiscal fence around American taxpayer interests and resources, and likely further incentivizing self-deportations. "80% of voters believe that illegal immigration is bad for America, and by the way, the flip side of it is 80% believe that legal immigration is good for America," veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen told Just The News. Trump's Tuesday order, titled "Restoring Integrity to America's Financial System", directs federal regulators and the Treasury to issue guidance strengthening banks' customer due diligence, identify red flags/suspicious activity linked to undocumented immigrants (such as Individual Taxpayer Identification Number misuse, payroll tax evasion, or off-the-books wages), and manage credit risks from extending loans or services to non-work-authorized individuals who may face deportation or wage loss. ... On limiting illegal immigrants' access to banking and financial products, the administration's stated goal is to reduce risks to the banking system -- such as people getting deported and then defaulting on loans or credit cards. Banks are now encouraged by the Trump administration to be more careful with loans and services to those without work authorization, but the order does not require them to check every customer's citizenship status.Meanwhile, the DOJ just hired 80 new immigration judges to speed up the pace of deportations.
"The Trump administration is committed to reestablishing an immigration judge corps that is dedicated to restoring the rule to the law in our nation's immigration system," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "Today, we are onboarding the largest immigration judge class in agency history. This could only happen thanks to President Trump's decisive leadership and commitment to securing our borders. I also applaud EOIR's leadership team for helping facilitate these hiring efforts and recruiting highly qualified and talented personnel in record time." Trump campaigned on a promise of mass deportations, but has faced considerable legal pushback to his efforts to speedily remove large numbers of people from the country. The DHS has estimated that as many as 22 million illegal aliens were in the country when Trump took office.Hello everyone! Happy Thursday. Are you ready for the three day weekend?

This is a minor point, but useful to know, I think:
"Immigration judges" aren't judges,. They are DOJ employees tasked with judicial duties in minor matters.such as immigration hearings. "Immigration judges" serve at the pleasure of POTUS, and can be banished back to the DOJ salt mines any time.
This is significant because it means the next DEM President can make all of Trump's "immigration judges" disappear in a puff of smoke.

A news story came out recently that the government was giving houses to Indians (dot).
The FNM/left went gaga to stay the story was debunked.
The actual information available? Under the Biden Junta the government was giving no money down home loans to foreigners. The largest group taking these loans? Indians.
So the story was 95% right. Trump ended the program recently and was called rayciss.
There are similar programs for poor Americans but I don't think they are as lavishly funded.

Home prices are squeezing American family budgets. The median home price is up 60% since 2019, now five times the median household income. The country is short more than 4 million homes, and a record 22.6 million renter households are spending more than 30% of their income on rent. Housing costs have risen another 14% in just the last two years.

Public housing was meant to be a temporary step up, but some Housing Authority apartments in NYC have been in the same family since 1948, through four generations, with no male head of household ever darkening the towels. It ain't just illegals we need to pull the plug on.

Holland apparently has a cap on how much one can work, which limits what one can earn. This along with the new housing being handed out to the "new citizens" preferentially means that all the housing is priced out of the range of the lower middle class and below, and a lot of the upper earning types as well.

If I were a cynic, I would ponder if we already have laws like the "SAVE Act" on the books and the Executive can just do things. The "SAVE Act" would then not be a real Act, but a placeholder to cover laws we aren't enforcing, such that if "SAVE" is seen to fail, enforcement of our existent laws can then go to court where they'll fail.

=====
No, they're not.
The acts that created the administrative positions of immigration judge are explicit in saying that Article III judges have no jurisdiction.
What defendants can try is habeus petitions, but the administration jets almost every deportee to the 5th Circuit as soon as they're picked up. The 5th denies 95% of all habeus petitions (which are expensive to file and argue, by the way), and they get deported after having dropped $10,000 on a lawyer.

Housing costs have risen another 14% in just the last two years.
How much of this is due to supply and demand, demand up due to illegals competing with citizens for available housing? Even putting aside the ridiculousness of people here illegally getting welfare benefits, their simply being here in large numbers creates problems. I am so glad I voted for Trump.

What’s necessary is not a new law or more legislation. We’ve got plenty of laws that cover most if not all scenarios.
The problem of course, all the laws in the world are meaningless without elected officials willing to enforce the laws. Leftists know this, and set about to infiltrate positions of responsibility and refuse to enforce the law, instead treating everything like a Smorgasbord, “I like this law, but I don’t like that one”.
See also “prosecutorial discretion” another concept twisted and perverted to their own ends.

Debt can be good or bad, depending on how you use it.
If you don't have a clear plan to get something positive out of it, which is very common, then yes you should avoid it like the plague.
Having an old car, an old phone, etc are better then having debt.
But if a new car can get you to a higher paying job for example, it is likely worth taking a loan.

Wages have been stagnant since 1974. This is not due entirely to millions of illegal aliens but it is certainly a crucial component.
A single blue collar wage earner could support his family. Maybe not in high style, but he wasn’t taking any government “benefits” and all that nonsense.
The “media” and public education has left recent generations almost wholly unable to make cause and effect type comparisons. They advocate for “open borders” yet complain they only make $16 an hour, and can’t afford food, rent, a car, insurance, or anything else.
It’s all a mystery to them. They know things are completely fucked up, but the focus of their justified outrage never ever seems to be magnified where it needs to go. Boomers, Jews, Republicans - anybody except the assclowns who brought it about.

Most using that singular address by adding a Apt. # are non-existent, and moles working the precinct will fill out the ballot, process it, and quickly 'misplace" it. However, some of these voters are illegal immigrants with doctored ID based on crib death babies who were given an SS #.

Odysseys choose a middle ground, he did his duty, and focused on returning home.

I'm currently in a delay, deny, die cycle with Aetna over a PET Scan for my cancer. Their own policy doc says it should be approved, but they denied my doc and his appeal, so now I have to appeal (which takes 30 days). Hurray.
Thankfully, this was not an emergency, but c'mon. This is not what I wanted to be dealing with when I'm already sick this week (normal virus, but a sucky one)...sigh...

Oh my gosh, my really good friend’s husband is a plastic surgeon, as you may know because I have spoken about it. I just got a text from his office I have a $250 credit for Botox. Lol. I don’t think that was supposed to go out to me until Monday, but she got me Botox for my birthday! I am laughing really hard right now. I am going to screen shot it to her with a “so what are you saying, exactly?” text…
….And also checking my schedule next week to see when I can book this.

Getting out of debt is simple. Finding the money to get out of debt is not.
You can get out, but it takes a crapload of energy and discipline. And oh yeah, time.
You are not getting out of debt by giving up your coffee and economizing on a few things. No way.
You *are* doing it by analyzing, restructuring and then changing wholesale your entire thought process around every single thing that involves money. That's how it begins. Then some discomfort which you get used to.

A 70-unit apartment complex was thrown up outside my mother's gated subdivision. "Luxury" two bedroom, 2 bath apartments, with $1700+/month rent. In an area where the median income is $50K/year.
They have been sitting, almost unoccupied, for nearly a year. I suspect the subsidized rent program for illegals and Somali Scammers the owners were planning on got cancelled.

The best way to attack this problem has ALWAYS been from the financial side. Always. That's loan officers, employers, hospital collections, et al.

If you tell the WORLD, that if you come illegally to U.S. we will give you free housing, free education and free food and free healthcare . . . what possibly could be the result?
If you remove the incentive to come, stay, and create disincentives to be here as an illegal - they will not come and those already here will leave. But that would cost the dems voters and the chamber of commerce cheap labor. Yes. Its that stupid. The answer is obvious, however, the powers that be, have a massive incentive to not apply the answer. Because they want it the way it is. So, we have to adjust the incentives/disincentives of the powers that be.

LOL. Banks and FHA loans allow up to 36% of your gross income being spent on PITI. That's why you don't buy a new car until after you buy the house.

USPS parses each ZIP into a Route. They know exactly how many residences are in said route and type of residents. Via census they also know pop and ave incomes.
There are around 10 companies that will validate an address for less than a 5 cents.
You could validate the the addresses of a county like Harris county Texas for about $25k in about 60 seconds.

Everything pre-election suggested that the more people saw and heard from Harris, the less they liked her. "Not Trump" was literally the only thing she had going for her and it wasn't enough.

I actually did some math on average home prices, and prices for things like food and clothing indexed to the price of Silver for the last 80 years. I was looking at them against average wages - not salaries by the way.
On the whole, we do more with less than at the end of WWII, but we have been slipping on purchasing power. It is the problem of inflation which outstrips earnings in real terms, compliance costs we carry, and the enshittification of everything we buy so we can afford basics.
There is also the inflation problem, there is no safe place to store wealth any more, inflation eats it. There are no safe jobs anymore, everything is a gig now, you get fired for anything, AI, COVID shots, anything.
Dollars lose value, stocks are a casino, bonds are a ponzi scheme, and property is priced too high. Inflation destroys virtue, and it always has

Benefits in the hood are passed around. It is odd, they seem OK sharing -- one sibling has a kid and gets bennies, and they support the parents and another sibling. They become ineligible, but the grandma goes on disability and gets money,.... they work together so that none of them ever have to work.

I read that California has 75K fewer students in public schools this year vs last year. The projection was only a 10k drop. This is due to the general trend of fewer kids in the US as birth rates plummeted in the 2010s.
So how did an extra extra 65k get missed? Most common theory is illegals going back home and taking the anchor babies with them. And that was never accounted for in the projections done pre 2024 election.

This has led to the creation of a "significant financial incentive" for employers to hire foreign OPT workers over Americans.

I've posted this before but during the Biden administration the average height of the people in my city dropped by about 2-3 inches . The number of Hispanic roofers and workers doing contracting skyrocketed. The naturally between that and refugees from NYC the housing stock decreased and prices increased , leading my city to be the first in upstate NY with rent control.

"Buying money is a huge expense you could avoid if you just make it yourself" is a better description. The rest is refinement on paying off your current debts so you can stop paying off the loans, and then keeping the money to yourself instead of giving it to the credit companies once it is paid off.

this is called "briefcase" deportation. Trump is literally just enforcing the existing laws on the books.
This will deport 5X whatever the ICE can catch on the streets - you simply systematically remove all potential pathways to staying in the U.S. as an illegal - no job, no bank, no housing = no reason to stay or come here.
Offer the illegals $5k and a plane ticket - a huge fraction will self deport.

There was a study out of MN that showed that for every 1 ICE arrest, 6 people left the workforce.
The self-deportation to forced deportation ratio is somewhere between 3:1 and 6:1.
Forced deportations for the first year were about 1 million (all from the interior, which no administration has done before).
So, somewhere between 3 and 6 million left America in the first year of the Trump administration.
But if you count border turnaways, then Obama's numbers are better, or something.

I live in Japan, and I can say that NO recipes for products are changed here to make product cheaper. They have shrinkflation, and some things (like kwepie dressing and mayo) have cheaper versions for restaurants (in 1L containers) but I see exactly zero changes in products like in USA where sugars and fats are all replaced with chemicals, and chocolate, nuts, etc. are reduced.
The only thing I see are a lot of "sports" drinks with 1/2 and 1/2 sugar and some other shit that you can taste in your mouth all day. But these are new products and not the old ones, which never change.
This has two reasons. (1) more family owned companies (2) the consumers are all Japanese and not 3rd worlders imported to take tax dollars and buy shit and ruin the towns and schools.

OPT is a scam, but I don't think it's the scam that we think it is. I don't think OPT is a jobs scam. It's a visa scam. I think it's more likely that the "workers" in OPT are working in fake jobs for fake companies. These "workers" are probably paying the companies for their "jobs."

OPT is a scam, but I don't think it's the scam that we think it is. I don't think OPT is a jobs scam. It's a visa scam. I think it's more likely that the "workers" in OPT are working in fake jobs for fake companies. These "workers" are probably paying the companies for their "jobs." This is probably 75% Indian and Chinese.

> Consider Modern Monetary Theory, which hold that deficits don't matter because governments can print all the money they want to, apparently without consequence. Only an academic could believe such utter nonsense.
MMT is the garbage dump the left used to assure their voters that $18 minimum wage would have no effect on restaurant food prices or anything else.
Now everyone's freaking out because McDonald's costs $12 for a combo meal and a Chipotle bowl is $16. It's even worse when you use a delivery service to go get your burrito bowl. It can easily be $25 for like 6oz of meat, some veggies, some beans, some rice, and a spoonful of salsa.

There are people out here who haven’t lost sight of this sacrifice that is bigger than all of us. I have instilled it into my children as well - maybe it’s because I am an army brat and was an army wife for 22 years, but these are the things we need to fold back into what it means to love our country.

Inflation, market manipulation, housing manipulation, massive illegal immigration, offshoring, and all manners of fuckery have been working to grind down the middle class and make economic independence harder and harder.

I also get kind of annoyed with people whose mortgage has been paid off since Clinton was in office telling everyone else what's what in the current housing market. Our economy has basically flipped since the 70's.
Necessities like housing and transportation used to be affordable to anyone with a decent job - But luxuries like really nice cars, big screen TVs and personal computers were wildly expensive. Now that's completely upside-down. You can get an 85" TV for $300 bucks but if you want a shitty apartment to put it in you're paying $2k a month.

I mean they have to live somewhere and we know they are mostly clustered in the shitties.
Now the question of how they have unlimited money for housing is the more interesting one, but it appears to be from Uncle Sugar or the state version...

"Every fraudulent autism diagnosis steal time, care and resources from the children for whom this program was denied and who desperately need this care."
"Fraud makes those barriers even steeper. America is facing a real autism crisis.
Today, approximately one in every 31 children is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Medicaid finances a significant share of autism related services nationwide and and spending has risen dramatically over the last decade.
And a lot of that spending is because of fraud.
When criminals exploit these programs, taxpayers lose billions and vulnerable children lose their access to care."

But, and maybe it's local, there's no competition. Most of the houses for sale are not owned by individuals they are owned by Investors and the pricing is locked in and they can and will hold that price and not negotiate. No competition is price fixing and Blackrock or its cohorts are in on it.

Approximately 9% to 10% of U.S. single-family homes are owned by corporate entities or institutional investors as of 2026.
Overall Ownership: Research from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and other sources indicates that corporations own roughly 8.9% to 10% of residential parcels or single-family homes nationwide.
Institutional Share: Large institutional investors (often defined as those owning 1,000+ properties) control a smaller fraction, estimated at 2% to 3.8% of the total single-family rental stock.
Market Concentration: Ownership is heavily concentrated in specific regions; in cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, and Miami, corporate ownership can exceed 20%, while in the Sun Belt, out-of-state corporate buyers are particularly active.
Investor vs. Corporate: While total investor ownership (including small "mom-and-pop" landlords) is higher at 20%, large corporations represent only a minority share of these investor-owned properties, with small investors holding the vast majority.

There was one back in the 70's near the river here. A few years ago I wound up on a crew tasked with cleaning it up. We found trash pits 6 and 8 feet deep. We took out 4, 20 yard dumpsters and probably 50 pick up truck loads. We changed the lay of the land we pulled so much crap out.
PDSD inducing crap.
I still have nightmares.

I think the loan rates deserve a lot of the blame. My current rate is 3%. If I were to move to a new house that costs exactly the same as mine, I'd be paying quite a bit more per month because I'd have a 6.5% rate. It doesn't make any sense for me to move.

I am thankful for all President Trump does for our country. In 1000 ways a day or more his great mind is thinking and doing. Unlike any other president in my lifetime.

The Morning Rant: An Islamist In Congress?
Adam Hamawy, a Princeton plastic surgeon, is a frontrunner in a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D.) in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th Congressional District—despite his years-long friendship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Muslim extremist cleric who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1993 bombing.
He is a run-of-the-mill Muslim political activist who is pro-Hamas, and has gotten a huge amount of support from a Palestinian PAC ($1,000,000 so far, with plans for another $1,000,000). If elected, he will vote reliably leftist, and vote against all American support for Israel, our only reliable ally in the war against militant Islam. And completely unsurprising, he seems to be a shitty doctor! But that isn't the worst part...he is credibly involved with, and a supporter of a man and a movement that took an active role in the murder of Americans as part of a religious/political philosophy that is incompatible with Western culture and American political philosophy. That is how far from sanity the Democrat party has slid, and I see no signs that it will moderate. At least until the Republican party is purged of its RINOs, and voting is once again reserved for American citizens.

His connection to Muslims who have killed Americans is not disqualifying to Democrats because they, too, want millions of Americans to die.
"Moderate" Democrats are like "moderate" Muslims. Both want you dead, but are not willing to dirty their own hands to do it.

But we can refuse tax-exempt status to any organization that punishes members for leaving.

"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

It's amazing that it took the Left less than a year from saying "you know, we don't really like Jews anymore" to jumping all the way to "Yes! Concentration Camps! That's what we want!!!"

I think politics has moved away from the traditional "lawmaking" and policy arena and is now firmly entrenched in social and cultural decision making. The Democrats certainly are more concerned with normalizing some of the most unnormal things imaginable.

If Epstein Island had been Kharg Island in Iran:
Not only would everything he did been legal, it would have been a celebrated wedding destination for the entire muslim world.
Nine year old girls would have been married to middle age men daily.
The VIP package would include free-use pre-teen boys for the "bachelor" party.
Everything Epstein did is legal--and even encouraged--under islam and in every muslim country.

They're driven by donors, and the donors are insane.
Without the Pritzker family, transgenderism would never have become a cause celebre of the left, but they dangle 9 figures in front of the DNC and the DNC says, "Sure, we can convince our most ardent believers to cut off their own junk."

Push-pull. Donors plus activists. Party activists always want a new cause and the donors end up directing what that new cause might be. All in the service of gaining power and wealth.

Check out PA-3. There was no candidate for Republican nominee -- I don't blame them, it's a D+40 district -- so the Democrat nominee Chris Rabb is basically a lock to win. And, according to Danny Gold on Twitter/X (as linked on Instapundit), he "said the Bondi Beach Massacre was a Zionist false flag."

Someone named Nirav Shah is the front runner in the Maine Democrat primary for governor. It’s a close race so he’s not a shoe in. But there is a decent chance Maine could have a Muslim governor along with a Nazi senator.

In London, two muslims were seen clearly on video attacking the metro agent--clear as day, no dispute.
They were both just acquitted because there were muslims on the jury.
That young man that was just stabbed and killed?
The family showed up to berate the officers, demanded the arrest for racism, and defend the killer.
The mother secreted the knife away, washed it at home and hid it with their other knives.
That tribalism is here, in the US, now, both in religious and racial groups.

I was unfamiliar with Tina Peters:
Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk, was charged by Mesa County with 9 felonies and 5 misdemeanors for her role in an election security breach in 2021. Peters worked with Belinda Knisley to allow unauthorized personnel access to the Mesa County election system, including providing an individual who was never hired by the county with an access badge to the secure election system. Peters and Knisley also had the security cameras overlooking the access machines turned off. In August 2021, images of the Mesa County election management systems and related passwords appeared on the internet. Knisley and Peters then refused to comply with subpoenas and directives from the SoS when this was investigated. As a result, Peters was charged with multiple counts of attempt to influence a public servant; conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation; criminal impersonation; identity theft; official misconduct; violation of duty; and failure to comply with requirements of the Secretary of State. Following a jury trial, she was convicted of 4felonies and 3 misdemeanors and acquitted of the 3 remaining charges.
She's a Repub, so is he a DINO?

This is how these godless heathens both moslems and communists, work in small almost unnoticed, increments. Elect a moslem, elect a communist, in NYC they did both. When they felt the time was right they resorted to violence on a one-on-one basis. For instance pushing an innocent person onto subway tracks, stabbing people, and we are past that point now. Next in their playbook will be mass violence where they, moslems and communists, are in control of public spaces. That will be awhile, after taking firearms from Americans in their blue shitholes.

The thing about lefties is they have no fixed principles or ethics. There is no governor telling them "this is wrong, I shouldn't endorse this". As I said earlier, what they want more than anything is to be an Influencer. Attention is heroin to them.

Speaking of candidates, I have to be on Facebook periodically through the day to support a hobby group that I belong to. Today, there are more sites than I can describe screaming about the fact that Massie lost his primary. It’s breathtaking how many people believe Trump is a pedophile and has blocked the release of the Epstein files, and that’s why he wanted Massie out, that Israel is now controlling our Congress, and Massie lost because only boomers voted for gahlrein. I feel like there is a huge swath of the American population that is a combination of stupid and ignorant, and gullible to the point of believing absolutely everything on social media.

And that is what is scaring the shit out of the GOPe senator caucus. I think that, in part, is how they have obtained and stayed in office. Murcow is a prime example.
Why would any rational voter in Alaska want a shriveled up nasty unaccomplished nepot that has to rely on tricks like ranked choice voting, fraudulent votes from Native Americans, and rank selling her vote to special interest groups and Dems whenever needed. She is someone only a Chamber of Commerce goon could love.

If you look at surveys of most important agenda items in the US, Epstein ranks in low single digits. It is simply not relevant to day to day life--higher fuel prices and Iran rate much higher.

It was a bullshit conviction and an even more bullshit sentence. That’s what I mean. Polis recognized it and put aside the politics to get a woman out of prison who had no business being there. I would hope a Republican gov would do the same if things were the other way around.

With Trump rehighlighting the coming "2020 election fraud" evidence he supposedly has, Polis wanted to get his state out in front of the issue and off the map of targets. It's as simple as that...

67 Well, his own liberty to do what he wants. I suspect he was pressured by the DoJ into doing this because of vote fraud investigations going on across the country. Lots of data is popping up about 2020 elections and the word fraud is no longer verboten on the Right anymore.
And that is what is scaring the shit out of the GOPe senator caucus. I think that, in part, is how they have obtained and stayed in office. Murcow is a prime example.
Why would any rational voter in Alaska want a shriveled up nasty unaccomplished nepot that has to rely on tricks like ranked choice voting, fraudulent votes from Native Americans, and rank selling her vote to special interest groups and Dems whenever needed. She is someone only a Chamber of Commerce goon could love.

Black males are drifting away from the Democrat party, it would be irrelevant to black females who are the core and shock troops of the Democrat party now. The welfare class is explicitly transactional, they don't care as long as they get their check. It is the elite aspirational types that might care but not if their rise to power and wealth is stalled.
Politics, at its heart is transactional in that in a two party system, people will vote for the lesser of evils that they feel benefits them and theirs. That is why the Democrats are the real racists is both true but lousy political rhetoric to persuade racial minorities. Those voters think they are getting something real and tangible from the Democrats so they are impervious to that sort of argument.
Trump tells these audiences he will make them rich, have jobs, end competition from new illegals for bennies, etc. That gets through better except for party activist types.

Note the increased number of incidents of "teens gone wild." Black teens specifically. And they're now encroaching on tony, formerly quiet vacation spots and not 'just' Florida. And we're told to "give them space" to riot.
I think just within the last couple days a riot broke out at an east coast beach town not associated with "spring break" type influxes of teenagers.

...
I'm not Jewish, but if they want to call the tune, let's dance.
Been calling them out for decades, and the world is finally waking up. LIBs. What Price their Vision?
A world Safe for Socialism, where the dead, the Dying, the DISSENTING are carted away in box cars that rumble night and day to smokestacks that billow without end to heat the bathwaters of the LIB elite.
Deal?
At long Long LAST!
Let's get this Party Started!

I've seen the infographic regarding age claiming groypers are the future of GOP on X which also required me digging into the actual source of that. It came from a weird hybrid model that Baris and others used from BigDataPolls. It was NOT an exit poll and relied on people responding to texts by following the embedded link to either a phone interview or an online website interview process.
Used a little over 400 registered GOP voters in KY4. First clue things were off, sample claimed 82 percent likely to vote. Actual GOP turnout in that race was about 33 percent or so. Second, none of the age demographics were oversampled to get a read on that, they instead used weighting for the oversall horserace of Massey narrowly winning.
You can pick off anecdotal evidence from such polls but not use breakouts for much more than that. I think it is safe to say that the groyper male demographic is much more online and interested in podcasts, etc. Normie young males, not so much.

It's interesting to me how this guy went so far the other way there at the end. He had been trending towards vanity humping for a while and talking about how no one was above the law and how he was just being a brave truth teller.

I don't know the specifics but that is what I heard. The snippet you posted above reads like a basis/explanation that they used to convict her to silence her after she started digging and trying to expose stuff. Kind of a removed J6 thing. She sees what we all see. She sees something specific in her area. Tries to raise the alarm and do cub investigating herself. They tar, smear and jail her. At least that is the story as I understand it.
This is one thing that I will point out again about 2020- how effective the Left were at SILENCING everyone about it. They scared the crap out of nearly everyone. So much so that you had not a single peep from anyone in the legislature. The supremes refused to hear any cases and it was just accepted. That atmosphere was REAL. And we look back and try to paper over it.
This is the one reason I defended and still hold a place of honor on this one point for that favorite whipping boy of the day: Tucker Carlson. MTG trying to get in and see the J6 guys. They may be scum, but they were speaking while others stayed silent.

My understanding is that she didn't attempt and was not convicted of altering the vote totals but was caught trying to expose Democrat fraud.
—
That’s exactly what happened. She did not commit voter fraud she exposed it. And got sentenced to 10 years in prison for it. Thats more than people who actually do commit voter fraud get, much much more.

The goatfuckers are 0 & 9 on the Crusades and 0 & 1 on Vienna.

All about the Jews, Epstein, Israel, and Zionists using the worst tripe and hackneyed garbage from the sordid history of anti-Jew bigotry.
Just sad and pathetic crap coming from the Groyper contingent or their bot farm/sock puppetry.

My generic weather app is usually more accurate and when radars are compared, puts theirs to shame and shows how corrupt even weather has become.

The "fraud" committed by Tina Peters is her trying to expose Dem cheating in the election. IIRC, she knew somebody in charge of election integrity was planning to erase the information that would be needed to conduct a legitimate audit. This information was legally required to be preserved. Since she knew of plans to destroy it, she made a backup copy.
Colorado elections are crooked, and Peters tried to do her part to straighten them out.

Could be, Gil Saad terms it suicidal empathy but the awful fact is that genetically, women's genes survive a lot better than men's of an ethnic group as the men get slaughtered and the women get taken as the spoils of war by the victors.
Clear from archaelogy now in Europe that a mass slaughter of resident males by invaders from the steppes of Russia occurred across Europe in prehistory. This probably accounts for the current genetic makeup of that continent.

This is one thing that I will point out again about 2020- how effective the Left were at SILENCING everyone about it. They scared the crap out of nearly everyone. So much so that you had not a single peep from anyone in the legislature. The supremes refused to hear any cases and it was just accepted. That atmosphere was REAL. And we look back and try to paper over it.
This is the one reason I defended and still hold a place of honor on this one point for that favorite whipping boy of the day: Tucker Carlson. MTG trying to get in and see the J6 guys. They may be scum, but they were speaking while others stayed silent.

I give Tucker a lot of slack since the BLM thugs came pounding on his door and windows, terrorizing his wife and kids while he was out. They bugged out of DC not long after. Can't abide his Jew hate (and I won't use the sanitized term, "antisemitism") but his other positions can be seen maybe as one who witnessed the savagery of the Left and decided grift is the better course than valor...

Not being the kind to pass off humor as news I went to their website and while they are a leftwing rag and she is a writer for them I couldn't find the article and I did find several leftwing sites calling this article a hoax...
But I also found a dozen other real leftwing articles complaining Americans or right wingers drink too much water.
There really is no option to actually parody the left anymore with out writing real leftwing articles is there?

It's also likely to have an outsized effect on the Pampered AWFL community.
A huge part of their appeal is they are free to exercise their inner bitch because no one wants to "hit the girl".
But, if you can wind up actually going to jail for stupid, criminal fraud and scams,
Well! That just spoils all the fun!

Plus, leftists are idiots. They do not think in terms of logistics. They think 'Guns and men to use them' when they should think 'How do we keep our guys in supply when everything goes to shit.' By comparison, rick and Rhomboid and whig could probably keep a small company in supply of ammo for at least a couple weeks from what they have on hand. AND be able to produce more.

To my way of thinking, and tin-foil hat worn at a jaunty angle, it is all of a piece. The “Global Warming” scam is just part and parcel of the framework and mechanism to de-industrialize the U.S.A., “globalization”, offshoring of manufacturing, so-called “free trade” and inshoring of millions of low skilled and illegal aliens.
Every bit of it is designed and intended to weaken America, to end this experiment in self-governance and national sovereignty. “They” said that’s what they were going to do, and they’ve done a bang up job of it.
We no longer hear about anyone trying to ostensibly make things better, racial harmony or melting pot assimilation. It’s all Tribalism all the Time.

It seems obvious from his history (including travel) over the years that he's a Hamas operative. He went to Princeton to get a medical degree... to be a Hamas medic. The plastic surgery clinic is a front -- he has no real interest in the field (per patient reviews) and probably chose it because it's lucrative and promised lots of money for minimal effort.

Tribalism is how you make yourself strong. At least if you control your small tribe well enough. Until there is a bigger tribe of course.
This is why I despise the whole "find the internal enemy and destroy them" because eventually you run out of snakes to kill in your walled garden and you have to designate someone in the tribe as the scapegoat. And in the big wide world someone or something is getting stronger and looking for small walled gardens that are rent with internal dissent.

Always anonymous sources, of course: to wit, Iran weapons production only set back months, not years; retains significant offensive capability; what Trump has done is worse than Obama's JCPOA (which actually wasn't that bad)-- Trump will facilitate Iran nukes.

Kids grow so fast and since they could not go to Kmart to pick up a 2 sizes too big set of tuff skins, my guess is they just handed them some cloth to drap/pin around themselves until the kid stopped growing.

Brighter than eastern skies at daybreak strewn
With fancied roses, than the unblemished moon
Before her wane begins on heaven's blue coast;
Thy image falls to earth. Yet some, I ween,
Not unforgiven the suppliant knee might bend,
As to a visible Power, in which did blend
All that was mixed and reconciled in thee
Of mother's love with maiden purity,
Of high with low, celestial with terrene!

What an exceptional painting honoring Mary for a lifetime of acceptance and obedience. Even here, she is accepting her honored place, not as a right but once again as the will of Heaven. The Trinity is present, the music of heaven is playing and the assembled angelic host is in attendance. The pain she faced at the crucifixion is erased in glory.
The painting is not subtle, it is explicit. I can see how the style and colors helped establish what became the Baroque style.
I was surprised that Carracci didn't only do religious scenes but scenes of everyday life: a butcher shop circa 1590, a man at supper, and landscapes. I'm surprised I hadn't known of his work before.

I think, at the time, the spear was generally done as a type of mercy. I mean, the whole point was the torture. The spear, killing the victim, ends the torture.

Carraci did an admirable job, but it still looks more like a kid's birthday party than a religious coronation of the mother of God. BTW: Mary's been de-listed now and is probably no longer considered venerable by Leo (who is a perfect example of 'Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.').

They usually broke the legs but the other said no bones would be broken.
Crucifixion causes the person to use the legs to push to get a breath. Once broken, they can't. The spear (piercing, also in ot) ends the torture. The water also fulfills prophesy as life giving water flowing from the temple.

IPCC Retires Its Most Implausible Global Warming Scenarios
“New and improved” climate models are offered, but the ‘plausibility vacuum’ remains. Furthermore, IPCC fails to acknowledge the damage to society and science done by its previous assessments.

Naturally, instead of just admitting it was a load of crap, they now claim their previous heroic efforts are what really saved the planet.
But ultimately, scientists cited data and argued that the push towards renewable energies made that scenario less likely.

To keep things in a (cough*cough) relatively 'normal' perspective, let us Reason Together and listen to the WhizDumb put forth by Mr Robert Zimmerman (a/k/a 'Bob Dylan') in 'Highway 61 Revisited' …
"Well, Mac the Finger said to Louie the King
I got ten thousand red, white, and blue shoe strings;
And ten thousand telephones that will not ring
Tell me, man, where I can get rid of these things."
And Louie the King said "Lemme think for a minute, son'
Then said "I think it can be easily done!
Just take EVERYTHING down to
Highway SIXTY-one!" …

But think about the climate change scam:

Modeled on computers that'd be, maybe, a good cell phone today.
But, they demanded all of society be re-ordered, trillions of costs in regulations and laws, freedoms and rights curtailed, based on those models.
And, after 30 years of data and 30 years of computing power increases--with not one model confirmed:
They still stand by the original models.

I am so jealous of your experience LASue. Michaelangelo started the Pieta when he was 23 and finished when he was 25. Nobody at the time believed someone so young could have created such a thing, so he snuck back in and signed his name on the strap of her bodice: "Michelangelo Buonarroti, Florentine, was making this."
He included his hometown since folks said the maker had to be Roman, ), he wrote "was making" to echo a tradition used by ancient Greek master sculptors like Apelles. It subtly implied that the artwork was an ongoing, imperfect process that could never truly match the ideal image the artist held in his mind.
Yes, I'm a fan.

The Morning Report — 5/ 21/26
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged former Cuban President Raúl Castro with ordering the 1996 shootdown of civilian planes operated by Miami-based exiles, a major escalation of pressure by the Trump administration on the socialist government. President Donald Trump has set a calamitous energy blockade on the island and has been threatening military action ever since U.S. forces captured the Cuban government’s longtime patron, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. . . Top Communist Party leader praises Raúl Castro, says Cubans will defend his legacy ‘at any cost’ . . . Cuban president condemns Castro indictment Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the indictment of Raúl Castro and accused the U.S. of lying and manipulating the events of 1996. He called it “a political action without any legal basis” that only seeks to “bolster the case they are fabricating to justify the folly of a military aggression against Cuba.”The question is how are we going to actually slap the cuffs on him, since as with Nicolas Maduro it would obviously entail some form of military action. While the operation in Venezuela that led to his apprehension was minimal and textbook, Attempting the same in Cuba might be much more problematic. This is a smart military blog after all so I'll leave it to the commenters here who have given us that reputation to discuss how best to bring about Castro's capture and the downfall of the regime as quickly and neatly as possible. And with that, we now come to scumbag number one for the day:
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) discussed possible legal action against Raul Castro and said that “Legal accountability is critical. And, by the way, the Trump administration people may think about that as they undertake illegal wars and illegal actions, for example, the double-tap strike on the two individuals, the drug runners who were clinging to a sinking boat.” And “It is possible that Raul Castro undertook criminal activities, not a concept that would be entirely foreign to the occupant of the Oval Office himself.”Yeah, nice subtle way to slander our President while weeping for the criminals poisoning our people, you degenerate filth. And with that we slide right into the next greasy shitstain on society.
Wednesday on MS NOW’s “Ana Cabrera Reports,” political commentator Stacey Abrams said Democrats have to “fight back against” President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian regime.” . . . Abrams said, “Well, Ana, that’s the work that I’m doing with the 10 Steps Campaign. We are fighting to show that Democrats and people who believe in democracy can fight back against an authoritarian regime that is doing everything in its power to create harm and chaos. I’m here right now because we believe that in Georgia and across the country, the — the false incarceration of families and children show that we have to stand up for and defend our people, that we can have safe borders without denying the humanity of the people that we serve. And so what Democrats have to do in Georgia and across the country is actually fight. We have to show that we will make certain that democracy delivers . .That Democrats deliver fake ballots by the tractor-trailer load like they did in 2020 as well as real bullets like in Butler Pa, and at synagogues, churches, pregnancy crisis enters and schools by transexual maniacs and others. . . As a not unrelated aside, it turns out that theSan Diego Mosque gunmen weren't exactly the islamophobes the Democrat/Leftist/Media/Propagand complex painted them out to be!
The obligatory mass-shooter manifesto has been recovered in the wake of Monday’s San Diego mosque shooting carried out by two teenage losers, and predictably, it is a testament of nihilistic rage directed at just about everybody and everything.Psaki-Psircling back to Tank Abrams, it's noxious blathering like her oral flatus that drives maniacs like the ones in San Diego which was a one-off of extreme rarity, compared to Leftist violence (and the San Diego duo are freaks who have been disowned by everyone on our side of the divide, although that is never reported of course) which is praised and even sanctioned by Democrats and Leftists at every level of influence... And with that, it brings us to our final emetic of the day:
Apparently the truth can be ignored, because this is an absurd smear. There is no “state-funded demonization of Muslim Americans.” The San Diego mosque shooting notwithstanding, there is no climate of “anti-Muslim bigotry” in America. There is no such thing as Islamophobia, the “irrational fear of Islam.” There most certainly is, however, a growing, justifiable frustration among American patriots who are fed up with surging Islamic supremacism, Islamic antisemitism, the demonstrable threat of spreading sharia, and outright Islamic terrorism not only in this country but throughout the Western world.
Based on their own statements in the manifesto, the Jew-haters Clark and Vasquez were more likely to attack a synagogue than a mosque; in fact, the manifesto confirms that they hoped to have opportunities to hit “a diverse selection of targets,” but proximity may have prompted them to target the Islamic Center of San Diego first (it’s in the same neighborhood as the house where Clark lived).
Two police officers who defended the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, are suing the Trump administration in an attempt to block a new $1.8 billion Justice Department compensation fund designed to provide relief to Americans the administration says were targeted by politically motivated Biden-era prosecutions.I imagine somewhere up in Heaven, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland are looking down and shrieking "you bastards can go straight to Hell!!!" I know I am. And hopefully the murdeous Michael Byrd, who executed n unarmed and harmless, Ms. Babbitt in cold blood, will descend to a fiery damnation before too long, having escaped justice in this world, aided and abetted by a system that enabled the murder of those women and the persecution and ruination of hundreds of other decent American citizens on that black day. What happened on 1/6 was engineered by and/or approved by none other than Malig-Nancy Pelosi herself. Her complicity or dereliction of duty in the proper deployment of the Capitol Police and refusal to allow National Guard Troops to secure the area resulted in the chaos and indeed she used that as pretext to declare an insurrection wanting to use it as a political weapon with which to destroy President Trump and indeed all political opposition to the Democrat Party if not to seize power with her bony claws and never let go. Along with their aiding and abetting the Dresdenization of America's cities during the summer of 2020, the events of that black day of 1/6 underscores the lack of trust in law enforcement and our justice system — not only by those who become "involved" with it but by ordinary law-abiding Americans who want nothing more than to be left alone to go about their lives and whose taxes have paid for their own abuse, at the hands of said corrupt justice system and of course by an out of control bureaucracy. Okay, I'm exhausted. ¡Cuba Libre! Have a good day.
Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges filed suit this week against President Donald Trump, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, claiming the administration lacks the authority to establish what critics have labeled an “anti-weaponization” fund without congressional approval.The lawsuit argues the fund could ultimately compensate some January 6 defendants and members of “paramilitary groups,” with the officers warning it could embolden political violence.

This is a smart military blog after all so I'll leave it to the commenters here who have given us that reputation to discuss how best to bring about Castro's capture and the downfall of the regime as quickly and neatly as possible.
Certainly not my purview, as I have no mil background, but I wonder how able their armed forces are at this time?
Maybe we could slip in and grab him. He needs to hang, old or not. Someone has to be punished for what they did to Cuba. Does our blockade preclude any escape to a safe country?

After progressive Democrat Maureen Galindo stirred up a firestorm of controversy for pledging to open a "prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers," Jeffries and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) said in a joint statement that "MAGA extremists should be ashamed of themselves."

Then let Raskin step forward and prove that he did not mislead, lie or deceive the committee. Simple solution.

His stat? 20% of Fairfax County, VA could get deported.

It's not damaging. 20% live with someone deportable. That means, at most, probably 5% are deportable. With housing prices here, it would be a blessing if they worked on that 5% to bring relief to the housing market. Maybe a few extra % go back with the deportable one, but I doubt it.

I find the behavior it illustrates very disturbing. It shows people who have been cowed and terrorized into submission. They are too frightened to be honest about their opinions, because they have been programmed to a culture that says one side is not just different, but immoral, outside the so-called Overton Window, when in fact there is no truth to that.

If you are OK with Jan. 6th insurrectionist getting reparations then you should be ok with black people getting reparations as well. If billions can be discussed for people claiming political mistreatment over a few recent years, then it should not be outrageous to discuss reparations for generations of legally enforced racial oppression.
why should they get reparations for attempting an insurrection against the United States in order to prevent the lawfully elected president from having his election certified?
Paying the Jan. 6th Capitol Rioters Is a Giant Fucking Signal for MAGA to Do It Again. They’re basically telling MAGA: “If you lose the midterms, go ahead and storm the Capitol again. Smash shit, attack cops, threaten lawmakers, spread chaos…and don’t worry, we got your back.” This isn’t about “justice” or “fairness.” It’s a fucking reward system for political violence.

Sure, if the blacks alive today were slaves, and the Gov't was responsible...As a matter of fact, the Gov't should print up a ton of reparation checks in the names of those that were slaves during the Civil War. Since those people are all dead, do the joss thing and burn the checks so they can enjoy the money in the afterlife (if you're into Asian joss burning)...

My money says: No.
By the way, it is to laugh when Jeffries and AOC complain about the money supporting Galindo and pointing the finger at the nefarious right wing. Sure thing you dimwits, Most likely, it's someone on your side supplying the cash.

The previous president stole an election, molested his own daughter, and forced people to take a poison shot.
So point taken, Biden should be arrested as well as his crimes dwarf Castro's.

My concern is this: Cuber is close to Rubio's heart, and always has been. Liberating Cuber is a bucket list item for him, and, Cruz, and various more elderly Republicans with wistful memories of the Cold War.
I don't doubt that this administration can come up with a plan that will topple Diaz Canel, but given this situation, I strongly suspect the post-coup portion of it includes about 11m Cubans being added to our population.

Francis Scott Key bridge?
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
No.
Two years after the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, Maryland officials say the rebuild is beginning to take shape, with major design milestones reached and construction moving into its next phase.
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) said during a press call on Wednesday that demolition of the remaining structure was wrapped up earlier this year, and the design of the new bridge is now about 70% complete.
Workers continue demolition of the old Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 24, 2026.
"Being able to reach the 70% design milestone on over a two-mile-long, cable-stayed complex structure in only 14 months," said Jim Harkness, chief engineer for MDTA. "Those efforts alone can take five to seven years on average."
MDTA officials say the current target to reopen the Key Bridge to traffic is by the end of 2030. They expect to have a clearer cost estimate and construction timeline in the coming months.

Children's Hospital Colorado has not yet publicly announced how they will respond to the high court's ruling and the expected lower court injunction (an injunction oddly enough that compels them to take an action as opposed to ceasing an action). Their decision will most likely be based not on any moral principle but on a financial calculation. The bottom line is whether HHS has the authority t set rules for Medicaid fund distribution based on their assessment oof the validity/efficacy of a particular treatment. That will have to be litigated at the federal level and may take months to move through the system. In the meantime, if CHCO thinks they have enough cover to keep Medicaid funds flowing, they will happily resume hormone treatments for childhood delusions.
That particular briar patch is theiir comfort zone.

>>> "Being able to reach the 70% design milestone on over a two-mile-long, cable-stayed complex structure in only 14 months," said Jim Harkness, chief engineer for MDTA. "Those efforts alone can take five to seven years on average."
MDTA officials say the current target to reopen the Key Bridge to traffic is by the end of 2030. They expect to have a clearer cost estimate and construction timeline in the coming months.
Posted by: rickb223 at May 21, 2026 09:16 AM (gKquL)
In industry, the kind that would fail and go bankrupt if they don't meet milestones, there are these design review events. They are at certain points in a platform's development and are supposed to communicate a level of readiness to the customer. Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR). There are requirements for these events, like a gate pass and if you don't meet the requirements you can't go through the gate to proceed. Which means the program dies, and maybe the whole company dies.
PDR is generally ~85%-95% drawing sign-off. CDR is closer to 99% drawing signoff. And the milestone dates are way earlier than production and test. How do these chuckleheads get money from people?

Based on numbers through March, M2 has grown at an annualized rate of 6.2%. That seems high, but keep in mind that the Fed sops up any productivity gains in additional to its 2% debasement rate.

>>Is she reverting back to the Owebama administration? President Selfie?
OMG, I had totally forgotten about how Obama ALWAYS posted a picture of himself to celebrate other people or events. "Happy Birthday, Aretha!" (pic or Obama), the passing of Neil Armstrong (Obama gazing at the stars), and so on!
Amazing narcissism!

>>NYC Schools spend $44k per student or a MILLION per classroom. por nada
That's a misnomer, all people do to arrive at that number is take the operating budget and divide it by the number of students.
None of that money actually is "spent" on students.
Another fun fact is that there is a seperate 40B dollar budget for capital improvements that is not figgure into the dollar total, so the real number is closer 55k per student.

Authorities identified the 18-year-old San Diego Mosque gunman as Caleb Liam Vazquez (Also reported as Velasquez.) Then information stopped.
Odd given the fact that the press had been having a flag day reporting about 17-year-old Cain Lee Clark, his mother, and his access to weapons.
Perhaps stymied the young men might have had "broad hatred" toward multiple races and religions? Or might it be an ethnicity thing, or even something else?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is transforming himself into a 2028 populist for the white-collar middle class now threatened by ruthless layoffs and accelerating Artificial Intelligence.
“There’s a reason Donald Trump’s in office, there’s a reason Bernie [Sanders] fills stadiums: they’re both right on the diagnosis,” Newsom told a May 19 meeting held by the pro-migration Center for American Progress.

ABC News co-host Joy Behar claims "we're all going to die" because Trump wants to lower drug prices with TrumpRX. She even lashes out at Mark Cuban for getting involved.
She shouts at her co-hosts who support lowering drug costs.
