We Need Proof of Life of Mitch McConnell
This isn't Russia -- we are entitled to know which of our "representatives" are living and capable of working.
But of course this nation increasingly resembles Russia. Two weeks after deliberately vague reports about McConnell being "rushed" to the hospital, it is only due to a leak of EMS radio traffic that we now find out he was discovered "unconscious" and in need of "advanced life support." So where is he now? Is he conscious? Our Soviet officials won't tell us.It has been over two weeks since Senator Mitch McConnell was hospitalized. EMS radio traffic now reveals that the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was found "unconscious" at his Washington, D.C., home before being hospitalized on June 14. Punchbowl News reported, "Just before 9 a.m. on June 14, the dispatcher directed an ALS (Advanced Life Support) ambulance to the address of the former Senate GOP leader's home. Audio of the EMS dispatch was circulating online earlier this week and was posted by journalist Desiree Townsend." Later on the same day, McConnell spokesperson David Popp said the senator was hospitalized and "receiving excellent care." On June 22, Popp said that McConnell was "working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery." No update has been provided on whether the senator remains hospitalized. According to several GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, they have spoken with McConnell. Thune is "dialed in" on Senate happenings.Uh-huh. Note that this follows several prominent congressmen who were later shown to be non compos mentis or too sickly to actually attend Congress. And I don't just mean Joe Biden. Diane Feinstein was mentally incapable of doing her job for years, with her staff unconstitutionally assuming senatorial power to decide how to vote on the nation's bills. Biden's cartoonishly unhealthy Secretary of Defense just completely skipped class for months, undergoing secret hospital procedures that Racist Americans just weren't allowed to know about.
The revelation that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had prostate cancer surgery and was later hospitalized in intensive care due to complications from that operation without President Joe Biden, Cabinet members or even his deputy knowing has put an intense spotlight on what staff knew when and why they did not inform government or military leaders or the public. Austin has since returned to work, but was hospitalized again Feb. 11 "for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue." While his doctors have said his prognosis is excellent, Austin's mobility has been noticeably affected, sometimes using a cane or motorized cart to get around the Pentagon. Austin finally addressed questions surrounding his hospitalization in a press conference earlier this month where he said he never told anyone on his staff to keep his hospitalization a secret. That has left unanswered questions as to why some members of his staff chose not to inform Biden or the public about it.Department of Transportation head Pete Butigieg secretly took two months of maternity leave to bond with his adopted gaybies, instructing his staff to pretend he was in the office the whole time.
Since Buttigieg and his husband Chasten adopted newborn twins in 2021, the Democrat and his family have been repeatedly criticized and mocked by Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence. Most recently, Pence made what the White House described as a "homophobic joke" about Buttigieg taking parental leave. "When Pete's two children were born, he took two months' maternity leave whereupon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, and airplanes nearly collided on our runways," Pence reportedly said at the annual Gridiron Dinner for journalists and politicians in Washington, D.C., on March 11. "Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression."
Federica Wilson, a Democrat DEI goofball, was absent from Congress for a month without telling anyone why. Only in May did she announce an official absence, saying she needed eye surgery. Okay -- what about the month before that? Tom Kean Jr., a Nepo baby, was absent from Congress for four months without leave. He now says he was diagnosed with depression.
During his absence from Congress, Kean missed more than 100 votes. He was seen near his House office on Tuesday and finally spoke publicly about his prolonged absence, saying that after medical testing, he was diagnosed with depression. "I did not believe this would result in a long-term stay," he said. "Depression is so much more than that. It is physical, it is emotional, and until you experience it yourself, it is difficult to fully understand it," Kean said. "I am a private person by nature. Talking about myself has never come naturally. If sharing my story encourages even one person to seek help, then this moment will have been worthwhile." Kean continued collecting his congressional salary during his absence. He was scheduled to hold a conference call with Republican officials later on Tuesday. The mystery over Kean's absence carries potential political implications, given the competitive district he represents and the Republican Party's narrow control of the House.Obviously no one wishes further ill upon the ailing -- but these are our employees. They are not allowed to skip out of work for weeks or months at a time while having their taxpayer-paid staffs lie to taxpayers about their absences.

yes, and he'll name a Democrat. There will be a lawsuit (Republicans require him to nominate someone from the same party) but he will argue that a statute cannot overrule a constitutional provision and he'll be found to be right.
McConnell's ego caused all of this. And his senior aides' thirst for continued graft.

Brittney Clark, 31, of Orlando, FL, has been identified as the victim of the deadly alligator attack on Sunday in Florida's Little Big Econ State Forest.
She, her boyfriend and a few other friends had been hiking in the forest before stopping for a swim in the river.
The gator ripped both of her arms from her body and she died in the ambulance enroute to the hospital.
This is, of course, a horrible story, but the boyfriend was quoted as saying, "never in a million years would we have seen this nightmare come about."
Um, dude, it's a river...in Florida...a gator's natural habitat. Never in a million years? Really?

Yes, Buttigieg probably would not have fixed the CA container ships waiting weeks backup, just as he was impotent in dealing with the East Palestine, OH train crash/toxic spill.
However, it needs to be noted since he is selling his experience and accomplishments as Sect of Transportation for future political opportunity.

I don't think it works that way. As far as I know, each of them can take as little or as much time off as they want, as long as their leadership knows what they're up to if they're needed for votes. Some of them are workaholics and would work every day if they could and some take a lot of time off during recesses. And they make a fixed amount each year, so they don't get paid OT. Each congresscritter's office sets its own PTO policies for staff.

KY replacement for McConnell.... by Grok
--------
Kentucky fills U.S. Senate vacancies exclusively by special election, with no temporary gubernatorial appointment.
congress.gov
This is the current process under state law (updated in 2024 via House Bill 622, which took effect and removed any appointment authority). Kentucky is one of five states (along with North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) that do not allow the governor to appoint an interim senator.

Noted Manly Men Will Wheaton and George Takei Attack Dwayne Johnson As a "Coward" For Not Endorsing Their Far-Left Imbecilic Identity Politics
Variety
@Variety Dwayne Johnson Slammed as a 'Coward' for Staying Quiet on Politics; 'Star Trek' Icon George Takei Fires Back: 'Silence Is Complicity'
Variety
@Variety Dwayne Johnson is facing backlash for staying quiet on politics, with "Star Trek" icon George Takei telling him that "silence is complicity" and "Stand By Me" actor Wil Wheaton adding: "So disappointing to find out he is such a coward." Johnson told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans, adding at the time: "My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box." The blockbuster actor expanded on his newfound aversion to political talk by telling Esquire this month: "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep -- need, not want -- the main thing. And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling. I've learned I'm going to keep my politics to myself. There are moments when, hey, there's nothing we can't talk about. If I'm wrong, I'll tell you I'm wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I'll share it with you. Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it."
The NY Post with more:
Wil Wheaton has blasted Dwayne Johnson over the actor's decision to stay out of politics. The "Stand By Me" star and President Trump critic branded Johnson a "coward" after the wrestler-turned-actor said he plans to keep his political views private. "So disappointing to find out he is such a coward," Wheaton wrote Monday on Threads, in response to a post from George Takei highlighting Johnson's recent comments to Esquire. Johnson, 53, explained in the interview that he no longer wants to publicly weigh in on politics because he doesn't want it to overshadow his work. "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep -- need, not want -- the main thing the main thing," Johnson said. "The main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling." "I've learned I'm going to keep my politics to myself," he continued. "There are moments when, hey, there's nothing we can't talk about. "If I'm wrong, I'll tell you I'm wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I'll share it with you." Johnson, who identifies as an Independent, also said he believes people with opposing political views should talk to one another instead of publicly attacking each other, adding, "I hate the slinging. I hate all the bulls-- that comes with it." Wheaton has long been outspoken about his political views and campaigned for Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election. ... Johnson condemned the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania, saying political violence has "no room" in America. "Whether you love Donald, don't love Donald, it doesn't matter. They tried to assassinate him. There's no room for that," Johnson said at The Value Conference in September 2024. "Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. "So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that."That's considered an aggressive "right wing political" take by the pro-murder left.
Wil has nothing to lose. He does signings at Comic Conventions. Dwayne, one of the biggest box office draws of our time, has much, much, much more to lose by alienating half the country either way he leans. https://t.co/tOJ3ceki71

The Rock is actually a pussy on this so it's funny to watch him get attacked by these leftist losers. He kissed the ring in 2020 and endorsed Biden. And that blew up in his face. So in 2024 he "decided" he didn't want to get political again.

The Rock has never been quiet. He's a dishwater dull shitlib Republican, and he's been outspoken about his boring, stupid political views for years.
I think he wanted to be the next Schwarzenegger, become some celebrifag shitlib GOP Governor or Senator, maybe knock up an ugly third world maid or three and pick up a high society wife along the way... but times changed without notice.

The Rock is actually a pussy on this so it's funny to watch him get attacked by these leftist losers. He kissed the ring in 2020 and endorsed Biden. And that blew up in his face. So in 2024 he "decided" he didn't want to get political again.

That is actually showing intelligence that Westley does not seem to have. Even in Wheaton's podcast/Youtube world the leftists are not dominant by any means.

This is all falling apart for the left. They are hanging on by a thread, and are under attack on all fronts. Platner is starting to make his decline we all saw coming. No one is shouting about how great Talarico is in Texas. The DSA wins in dark blue districts is scaring the crap out of the democrat party faithful, and Hispanics will probably as an entire group will vote majority GOP. Black males will continue their move towards the GOP. And the GOP will be more MAGA after this election cycle than before.
If this trend continues - 2026 will not be a good midterm for the left, and with their government funneled money drying up, 2028 looks like a massive problem. Especially since all the energy means more democrats will lose to their DSA opponents, making whatever swing districts remain more red.

I don't care if a celebrity keeps their politics to themselves or comes out in support of someone. It's up to the public to decide if they are an asshole about it and whether it will affect how they spend their money. A celebrity ain't some special person that needs to keep their mouth shut or open. It's a personal decision and let the chips fall where they may just like any citizen.
I just don't like it while they are doing their 'job' . That mostly applies to singers.
Also I know the Left disagree but speaking up about how you love America ain't political to me.

Other than that, who?
Same with George Takei--he built a huge social media presence promoting his play about Japanese-American internees in CA, and he did it by being completely apolitical, to drive traffic for his show, and now that the show has come and gone, he uses his "platform" to be a complete asshole. He is well on the way, particularly at his age, to being another "who?"

He was background scenery for most of the show.

Takei and Wheaton ragging on the Rock doesn't even rise to the level of ankle-biting. Takei and Wheaton are two worms who can't even get out of the dirt to bite the sole of Rock's foot.

[Takei as Sulu] He had slightly more prominent roles in the films, but just barely.
Posted by: SpeakingOf
Takei insisted on Sulu piloting his own ship in ST6. Which the scriptwriters worked around. The movie overall ended up good, so, hooray for that I guess.
Problem: Takei's delivery was wooden as ever, and it seemed obvious that the reason he got his ship was less because of ego (which he has) and more because he despised most of his fellow actors on the show especially Shatner. He simply didn't want to be in many scenes on the Enterprise.

The thing is, they - the featured players - did have careers after the show ended. They just weren't major stars. Heck, even Shatner and Nimoy had a downturn and were stuck doing guest star roles for a while. Why they would expect to be megastars? I think they got ego inflation when the conventions started. Thinking they were the stars instead of Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelly. Felt they were more important and the heart of Star Trek, even though it was definitely the Kirk, Spock, McCoy triad.

You do have to pay taxes when you're overseas. Hasan Piker was smart though, returned at the age of 18 to wreak havoc, probably no tax obligations.
I was thinking. If someone is born in the US and gets birthright citizenship, then goes back to the home country with the parents, and returns as an adult to do whatever, can the IRS claim back taxes, or even better, demand taxes each year while the "citizen" is overseas?

Evil Sulu in the alternate universe Enterprise "Mr Sulu your agonizer"

"Rice wine'll do if you're short on coffee . . ."
Those were all early stories when the show was still feeling its way, and they were attempting to showcase other characters now and then beyond Kirk/Spock/McCoy. Those three were still the leads, but GR's writers were trying to create some good character moments for the supporting players.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

He does, but his mom is Samoan, so maybe that is what's up with the flowery thang.
"His mother is the adopted daughter of Peter Maivia, who was also a professional wrestler. Johnson's maternal grandmother Lia was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death in 1982 and managing it until 1988. Through his maternal grandfather Maivia, Johnson is a non-blood relative of the Anoaʻi wrestling family. In 2008, he inducted his father and grandfather into the WWE Hall of Fame."

Takei is only still remembered because of Trek, but he did quite a bit of TV before that. He was featured as a one-time team member in a first-year Mission: Impossible, for example, and I know I've seen him in other shows of the period which featured "Oriental" characters, as they used to be known.

IIRC, Roddenberry once said his early "vision" for Star Trek was something akin to the "UN in space." So a multi-cultural crew was a given.
Spock being the only "alien" per se.
Sulu was a nod to the Orientals, as they were referred to at the time.

Walter Koenig has written some TV scripts too. His character wasn't in the animated series -- their budget couldn't include him to voice Chekov -- but I think he did pen one of those. They weren't kiddie fare. And trying to tell a complete and compelling story in only 22-24 minutes of story time ain't easy.

Mrs. Speck is a big Trek fan. Read all the books; encyclopedic recall on episodes; even watches the new stuff, despite the woke taint. A couple years ago, she
urged" me to go to not one, but two separate screenings of Wrath of Khan that were then followed by William Shatner in one event and by Takei in another.
Shatner was surprisingly thoughtful and self-deprecating. Takei, on the other hand, was a petulant, spiteful twerp, whose every anecdote reminded the audience of what a trend-setter and hero of gays in Hollywood he had been. Had little digs at Shatner sprinkled throughout. (When asked about his spat with Takei, Shatner was gracious and avoided being baited into saying anything negative.)
Amazing how far little talent but a possessing a deep voice can get you in the entertainment industry.

Even more ironic, Shatner is the only cast member I’d like to have a beer with if his slightly conservative public personality is remotely close to reality.

People Are Starting to Notice That the Alleged "Working Class Populist Socialist" Uprising on the Left Is Made Up Exclusively of College-Educted Rich Leisure-Class Nepo Babies and NGO Sucklers
The Claim: Democrats are electing "working class populists" who just happen to be socialists
The Reality: Democrats are electing rich-bitch children of privilege who are socialists because they've never done a day of work in their lives. Batya Sargon-Unger:Progressives want you to believe socialism is on the march because working-class people have had enough. They want you to believe they are "fighting the oligarchy!" and they are taking on the billionaires and the "Epstein class" and bringing back an agenda focused on labor. But it's all nonsense. You know how I know? Because it's rich people who vote for them, and working people voting for their opponents. This was wildly apparent in the New York elections last week, in which rich, over-credentialed gentrifiers voted out candidates preferred by working-class New Yorkers, as I explained in a piece called "Stop Calling Them 'Socialists.' They're Over-Credentialed White Gentrifiers Driven by Resentment Ousting Working-Class Candidates." But the latest evidence of progressives and socialists pretending to fight for the little guy while actually winning with the credentialed caste at the expense of the desires of working-class voters comes out of Maine. Platner is polling ahead of Republican incumber Susan Collins by two points. But he has absolutely cratered with working-class voters. Susan Collins has a 21 point lead against Platner with working-class voters.Even old lefty Thomas Edsall at the communist New York Times notices that the new "Workers Party" of the left contains almost no actual workers, writes John Sexton.
Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher Graham Platner is ahead of Collins by 2 points in new NYT poll. One of the most intriguing details: She has a 21-point lead among non-college voters as Platner has made centering the working class the center of his campaign.
So how is Platner winning? With college educated voters! Platner is demolishing Collins with college-educated voters--by 34 points. 51% of working-class white voters say that Platner is "too far to the Left"--while 61% of working-class white voters say that Collins is "not too fair either way." Platner is also cleaning Collins' clock with women, leading her by eight points. So much for solidarity! College-educated women, those very HR ladies the pundits were delighted had been vanquished, looked at Graham Platner, who shoved and manhandled his ex girlfriend and locked her in a room, according to the New York Times, and thought, "Me, too." Platner's handlers and supporters sold him as a working-class hero, an "oysterman" and veteran with rough edges who has tattoos and wasn't developed "in a vat." This, like all their socialist frippery, turned out to be cosplay: The oyster farm is fake, a vanity hobby that makes no money apart from $6,000 Platner's mom gives him to sell the oysters at her restaurant. His VA loan turned out to be fake; his dad bought him his house for $200,000. He went to a fancy prep school. His farm is on a private island owned by a friend. This working-class cosplay was just enough to convince college-educated women that he was a real man--though not, it seems, good enough to convince working-class men, who can smell a faker a mile away. As my friend Ryan Girdursky aptly put it, "Graham is what a college educated person thinks a working-class person is supposed to act like and working-class people can see he's a fraud."
Thomas Edsall takes a break today from attacking President Trump and instead turns his attention to the extreme left-wing of his own party. Like all good Marxists, the Democratic Socialists of America present themselves as a party for the working class. But it turns out there are almost no working class people in the party.See the link for that. The left is trying to claim that the Democrat Socialists are sick of woke politics, too, that's why they focus laser-like on breadbasket issues like health care and rent. But that's all bullshit-- what they focus on is open borders and transing children. Just like all other lefties, only more dogmatic and authoritarian about it. People are sick of Leisure Class Leftists telling the rest of us that we have to waste our money on their sick priorities:Candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America are surging to victory on the claim that they are proponents of "a government by, for and of the working class" that will wrest power from both "far-right Republicans and corporate Democrats." Here's the problem. Most of the leadership of the D.S.A. and a majority of voters who back its candidates are in no way working class. Instead, an elite made up of well-educated professionals dominates this insurgency... In 2021 the D.S.A. surveyed its members and found that 85 percent were non-Hispanic white (far more than the national population, which was 57.8 percent white in 2020, according to the census)... Four percent of the members held blue-collar jobs, according to the survey, the most recent publicly available... More than 80 percent of members who were 25 years old or older had college degrees (just more than double the percentage for the United States as a whole), and 35 percent had a master's degree, a doctorate or a professional degree (again, more than double the American average). Sixty percent identified as agnostic or atheist (with the American average, taken at its most generous, at less than half that).
The DSA isn't the party of the people, it's the party of the white, atheist college grads almost none of whom hold blue collar jobs. When asked about this, the DSA communications person said the group's policies were working class even if their members aren't. But that's not true either. For instance, the DSA is hard left on trans rights while America in general and working class people in particular are not.The same is true of the DSA's stand on immigration. It's not the position held by actual working class people.
...the D.S.A.'s March 31 declaration, "We Will Not Be Erased," would be met with some skepticism if not hostility by working-class voters disdainful of the D.S.A.'s commitment of support for "bodily autonomy, for moving past arbitrary restrictions and conservative norms around gender and family and for the right of all to obtain medical care."
Nicholas KristofWe have to fucking fuel up the ambulances in Liberia?!
@NickKristof .@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
Coddled Affluent ProfessionalUpdate: Ro Khanna, the guy who got rich by knocking up an heiress, wants to end capitalism all of a sudden.
@feelsdesperate I'm supportive of international public health aid when it comes to cheap interventions like dispensing HIV and TB and malaria meds. (I am a lib 🤷♂️ .) However, Kristof is just making everything worse. First, you can't hysterically crybully Americans into supporting these programs and trying to do so instead of making a calm, measured case just makes people reactive and oppositional because it's so obviously a cynical, manipulative tactic. Second, it's not our responsibility to fill up anyone's gas tank. All of these initiatives have to be completely reconsidered and our obligations need to be clearly defined. That Kristof can't intuit that Americans would oppose filling foreign gas tanks demonstrates just how out of touch he is and that he's bound to do more harm than good in attempting to propagandize on behalf of international public health. Third, none of these vignettes meet even the most basic evidentiary standards to support his assertions. Furthermore, this isn't how it's done - big programs need to be supported by population level data and Kristof is obviously trying to be emotionally manipulative with anecdotes rather than addressing the policy questions in the right way with the right type of data. Fourth, it's lazy and cynical to try to lay this all on Musk. Maybe you shouldn't have billion dollar 'managed democracy' and leftist NGO dark money sinkholes wearing the skin suit of true humanitarian programs. Maybe the people who designed these programs as such deserve a little more (or a lot more) of the blame for intentionally putting them in proximity to legitimate political targets. Every time I read a half-informed journo trying to do advocacy for foreign health aid I cringe because it's clear they don't know what they're talking about and are making lazy, motivated assertions that are bound to backfire and make things worse. If journos really cared about these issues and weren't just scrounging for cheap partisan artillery they'd be a lot more carful, thoughtful, and reserved in what they're arguing.

Too bad she mostly did work like bartending and painting houses while being an alcoholic. She now lives in an RV in a trailer park and I give her money for cat food.

From Quora:
Karl Marx had several jobs, primarily as a journalist, editor, and political writer. While he never held a traditional waged corporate job or an academic professorship, his professional life involved continuous, albeit often unstable, employment in the publishing and media industry
So they're just emulating their Founding Father.

This gets really old. Not the thread. But the same "oh my, this is exactly opposite" shit that still runs deep in some parts of the population.
Because everyone that is street smart has known this for decades. The Democrats don't give a fuck about Democracy. Of course, the Republicans don't give a shit about a Republic either.
ANTIFA is the Fascists. Diversity is anything. Progressives ain't. Liberals are not. And on and on and on and on.
I'm all in on Nationalist Populist. And let the chips fall where they may. Or the heads. Either way.

"The Reality: Democrats are electing rich-bitch children of privilege who are socialists because they've never done a day of work in their lives."
If they ever get power, maybe they will not be devoured by the crocodile, they will become the crocodile. Of course they will have to team up with the Muslims and other gangsters, and get them to do the heavy lifting (of killing the normies).
But more likely, the Muzzies and gangs will kill them, in the end. Or maybe it would be like Mexico and South America, where a Castro like president manages to keep all the gangsters at bay, by giving them control of sex and drug trades?
Better to never give them the chance to find out.

It's more than likely the (hypothetical) ambulance ran out of fuel because someone siphoned it off.

Can we legislate an “oath to the constitution” requirement, where if you don’t sign, you’re denaturalized and deported, and if you do sign, you cannot abide by an ideology that would subvert the constitution? Doing so would also result in denaturalization and deportation.

But more likely, the Muzzies and gangs will kill them, in the end. Or maybe it would be like Mexico and South America, where a Castro like president manages to keep all the gangsters at bay, by giving them control of sex and drug trades?

So how is Platner winning?
With college educated voters!
Platner is demolishing Collins with college-educated voters--by 34 points.
51% of working-class white voters say that Platner is "too far to the Left"--while 61% of working-class white voters say that Collins is "not too fair either way."
=====
Oh, look.
Response bias in polling.

It doesn't matter because precisely zero USAID money was going for hospitals, gas supply relief, food or anything like that. It was used for destabilizing governments and promoting leftist movements world wide, but mostly for being siphoned back to the US as welfare for the elite.

I'm old enough to remember when the radical left did this before to the Democrats in the time from the 1968 convention to the 1972 convention.
From the December 1972 article about that whole process in Commentary, “The New Politics & the Democrats” by Penn Kemble and Josh Muravchik.
"The fact is, however, that the purpose of the McGovern quotas was not to make the convention more representative of the Democratic electorate as a whole, but to favor the affluent liberals within the party and to diminish the influence of its lower-middle and working-class constituents.
Those who take up the vocation of politics, as Max Weber insisted, first must have an extraordinary amount of free time. Such time is readily available to the suburban housewives and the subsidized students who have provided so many second-level leaders and foot soldiers to the New-Politics movement—and who, in practice, are the “women” and the “young” singled out by the McGovern quotas."

Anyway, Marx also had horrible skin rashes that kept him in misery, and likely was a factor in making him such a resentful asshole. Totally unrelated to his bathing habits. Totally.

Well...let it warm up too long and the ingredients won't do ANYTHING

Radicals get a lot of education. But it never leads to an understanding of money.
One of the vast list of things they don't get is how money is "fungible".
Thus by withdrawing support, you are not "killing" people. If no other country steps up to fill the gap, you are just joining the crowd of all countries not funding that.
And if no other country steps up to fill the gap, then why was it on you, anyway?
If USAID was able to prove the people saved by "International Development", they would--or maybe should--have provided documentation to DOGE.

Fun fact: Engels wrote Marx that the lady Karl was shacking up with was too "low class" for him.
Posted by: Axeman at July 01, 2026 03:49 PM (Fi81e)
Another fun fact, if smelly. Marx had a notoriously casual attitude toward personal hygiene. That's a fancy way of saying that he almost never washed or bathed. Che Guevara had the same reputation, as it happens.
Anyway, Marx also had horrible skin rashes that kept him in misery, and likely was a factor in making him such a resentful asshole. Totally unrelated to his bathing habits. Totally.

Marx was -- fittingly -- a classic parasite who refused to work for wages and relied heavily on financial support from his friend Engels, whose income was derived from the textile industry and factory profits.
He also mooched off his parents until they cut him off, lived in poverty despite being educated and capable of work, and neglected his family, leading to the premature deaths of four of his children and financial destitution for his wife.

A large bloc of Hispanics consider themselves white, and there's no indication beyond very suspect polling data (which has not manifested in any election over the last couple of years) that the Hispanic vote, which has been trending Republican for the last few cycles, is going to reverse.

Here's you a "political truth" that has more data than "party out of power loses the midterms:"
The party that wins the working class, wins elections.
Democrats didn't dominate American politics for over 100 years because they people were really motivated to "end racism."
From FDR to Trump, their dominance has been built on a large, working class base.
Why do the Democrats still think they are the party of the working class?
Because the rich, nepo-babies that are running for office pretend they are working class.
As the revealing question goes:
How many people do you know who own a pick-up for work?

Yes, Christians are all over the map politically.
Interesting conversation between Vance and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey about why evangelicals are more culturally conservative than Catholics. Vance thinks it’s because lapsed Catholics still themselves Catholic (in past, if not current). You don’t typically hear people identifying themselves lapsed Methodist/Lutheran/Evangelical. He speculated that a lot of the lefty supporters of things like abortion may be Catholic culturally, but lapsed?
Don’t know if I buy it, but it’s a valid argument…

I’ll bet it’s from contaminated fruit. The parasite referenced is bad. When I was a kid my mother got this from contaminated fruit served at a 5 star restaurant in NYC. Large event. Everyone was sickened except my father who says he only eats meat and hates fruit and veggies 😂. My mother suffered for months and ended up allergic to many foods after that. Now she only eats meat.

Be careful out there, I had this 2 years ago from contaminated food and it was awful. Lasted 4 weeks.

I’ll bet it’s from contaminated fruit. The parasite referenced is bad. When I was a kid my mother got this from contaminated fruit served at a 5 star restaurant in NYC. Large event. Everyone was sickened except my father who says he only eats meat and hates fruit and veggies 😂. My mother suffered for months and ended up allergic to many foods after that. Now she only eats meat.

It is funny, we know he worked for Blackwater, claims he committed war crimes, has a NAZI tattoo, like to masturbate in port a potties, cheated on his newlywed wife, and sexually harassed his staffers BUT we are waiting for the real dirt to drop.

There seems to be a sudden surge in old democrats embracing socialism and communism today. They are as weak as we thought- no one, except Fetterman, who is a lot of hat and very little cattle, has the cojones to stand up and say this is crazy. The self preservation is off the charts. May as well cut to the chase and ask to be eaten last.

Dear Concerned Misinformationist,
You claim I never held a job. Well, I will have you know that one time, not too long ago, I took the garbage out to the receptical bin. AND, not everything in the trash bag was my own garbage. Others had contributed, and I STILL took it out. That's what Socialism is all about. We work together with a common goal in mind. Socialism is about creating, collecting and distributing garbage...no wait. That's not right. Ummmm.... Okay, bye.
Sincerely,
Katie Wilson, Mayor of Seattle

When I was old enough ( according to Texas law) to get a job, I went out and got a job. Sure it didn't pay much as it was part-time but at least I had some money in my pocket. Still in high school and working. I did not ask Mom and Dad for money. And they were proud of me for getting the job and keeping my grades up. They both done the same thing I did when they were my age. And they knew it was good for me to learn about the real world. I think rich kids miss out on the early lessons life can teach them. All they know is their parents will give them what they want. They grow up spoiled.

132 Yes, Christians are all over the map politically.
Interesting conversation between Vance and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey about why evangelicals are more culturally conservative than Catholics. Vance thinks it’s because lapsed Catholics still themselves Catholic (in past, if not current). You don’t typically hear people identifying themselves lapsed Methodist/Lutheran/Evangelical. He speculated that a lot of the lefty supporters of things like abortion may be Catholic culturally, but lapsed?
Don’t know if I buy it, but it’s a valid argument…

Catholics political differences vs evangelicals tracks with ethnicity/recency of immigration. I don't think there's a large contingent of lapsed self-identified white Catholics.

The Republicans need to nominate Ruy Texueria for a "Life Time Achievement Award" at the Midterm Convention.
Other than Trump, no one has done more to help the Republican Party grow.
His "Emerging Democrat Majority" convinced Obama et al. that they no longer needed the working class to win elections.
Of course, the premise of his book was KEEP the working class and grow the college-educated, minorities and LGBQT+.
But all they heard was "more people like us and we win forever and ever!!!"
Dems: We don't need the working class.
GOPe: Who put that turd on the buffet table at our County Club?!
Trump: Yonk!

It was the Kennedy's who foresaw the future of the Democratic Party as reversing the racism they had long practiced.
I think part of it was he wanted to steal a Republican issue away from them.
The Heritage Foundation (partial spit) has a number of letters from Prominent people in Congress and elsewhere that show that the Democrats were about championing the White Working Class. That unions and the minimum wage was all about price controls suppressing black labor.
What "switched" in the 60s was when the Democrats felt they couldn't get by on just White Supremacy, they adopted a pandering stance that "Did more than the Republicans"

First, I'm going to posit that a super majority of people can't even find Liberia on a map.
Next, why is it the USA's responsibility to fund fuel for ambulances in Liberia?
Her death is a tragedy, no denying that. But how about looking at the sovereign country of Liberia and how it fails to take care of its own.

Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia
First, I'm going to posit that a super majority of people can't even find Liberia on a map.
Next, why is it the USA's responsibility to fund fuel for ambulances in Liberia?
Her death is a tragedy, no denying that. But how about looking at the sovereign country of Liberia and how it fails to take care of its own.

"Hispanic" is an ethnicity. According to the fedgov one is either.
-Hispanic, or
-Not Hispanic
This is an addition to any racial identity.
If you are named Fujimori and you are from Peru, you are a Hispanic Asian

165 Catholics political differences vs evangelicals tracks with ethnicity and recency of immigration — how so?
I am not Catholic, so I have never understood why so many are radical leftists (the Jesuits?)?
Posted by: Lizzy at July 01, 2026 04:19 PM (4KUe5)
You can breakdown why a group votes a certain way by various factors, like age, income, education, etc.
Otherwise identical evangelicals and Catholics vote the same. At larger scales protestants and Catholics of similar cultures(such as Austria and Germany) are nigh identical across a variety of metrics.
Frankly most people don't know or think about the finer theological distinctions, so it doesn't generally impact how they vote. Church attendance is by comparison a very strong predictor.

I'm 100% convinced that USAID and other multi-billion dollar scams made NGOs, hedge fund managers and other cantillionaires from largely grifting the tens of trillions of dollars in tax payer gifts to everything from QE-ternity, foreign aid, to "research" to every damned Learing Center that the Left could emotionally extort the taxpayers to underwrite.
Then they took their huge compensation packages and invested heavily in the market — after all, they are playing with the casino's money. They were in at the head of the line for receiving government handouts and thus were able to invest before the consequences of inflationary spending hit those further down the line. Basic Cantillion Effect
This largess has driven insane P/E ratios, record new DJI and S&P records and massive inflation.
Their trustafarian spawn are spending our money to destroy our way of life.

The last time Cooper won statewide was 6 years ago. There were 400,000 more Democrats registered than Republicans, and he won by 250,000. That was also for a governorship where partisanship is often less of an overriding issue (think Hogan being a popular governor of MD and then losing by double digits in the Senate election).
Since, Democrats have completely (completely) lost the registration advantage. There are now 10,000 more active Republicans than Democrats.
And Cooper is of the wrong party...could be a Hogan.
Still, midterm turnout differential should prefer Democrats over Republicans, but that math doesn't quite math for him. We'll see, but there's no way he wins by more the 2-3.

Catholics have a larger and deeper 'command structure' then most other divisions and thus are more prone to issues with out of touch insiders. Jesuit types are often shipped off for missionary work where they don't bother the staff.
But the issues aren't unique to Catholics - the Anglicans in England are virtually extinct aside from imports from abroad due to the same infiltration of leftist values that the administration did not reject.

Why isn't Wakanda providing Vibranium fueled ambulances that run forever and don't pollute to Liberia?
This is kind of meta and geeky but... there's a reason some topics should be avoided in comic book stuff. You do not ask some questions or deal with some ideas because they ruin the genre. Its an essentially silly and childish genre, which is perfectly fine, so is football.
Its okay to have a story about how there's a black wonder-country that does everything right, you use it for the superhero's origin. But when you take that story to the real world and say black people are mistreated everywhere and its wrong to have any African artifacts and Wakanda will now start to fix everything, you RUIN IT because now it brings up questions exactly like the above.
Wakanda let Arabs and black tribes enslave black people for 1000 years and did nothing? They sat back and ignored all the horrific wars and massacres? They let everyone live in dirt huts and die from diseases they could have prevented? They left the rest of Africa to be a crap hole? They did nothing to stop the cruel mistreatment of their people by colonists?
This ruins the immersion and heroic genre.
This is kind of meta and geeky but... there's a reason some topics should be avoided in comic book stuff. You do not ask some questions or deal with some ideas because they ruin the genre. Its an essentially silly and childish genre, which is perfectly fine, so is football.

“No more calling me a barista “
Fun fact: the young Socialist who just beat Rep. DeGette in the Co primary is a trained lawyer, but has been working as a barista while running for office. She’s here because she was fired from her big NYC law firm for by a very vocal supporter of Palestinians and the 10/7 attacks.
A real woman of the people, you guys!

Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
Why didn't her parents and sister arrange for transport. More BS from BSers. Good riddance.

But they didn't even waste the expense of printing the dollars and just moved a decimal place in some fed reserve accounting software.

Re: the unfortunate death of the expectant mother in Liberia. One incident is not enough information to determine if Elon is a murderer. How many pregnant women in Liberia died IN hospitals? How many pregnant women never even heard of a hospital, we've been giving birth at home for thousands of years! How many pregnant women die in hospitals IN THE US?? Giving birth is dangerous, even here. (And yes, I feel no obligation to fund anything in Liberia. Even diesel for ambulances.)

One big problem for third world countries ... they are full of third world people.
Another problem, when "guilt ridden" Westerners decide to help, they get overrun/commandeered by NGO type criminals that steal most of the money to support their elite lifestyle (and drugs).
My nephew used to go to Africa every year (usually with wife and kids), as a doctor and a Christian. Last I saw him he said their "Christians" would go to witch doctors when the American doctors are not available. And with the Muslims invading, I'm not sure how safe they are. I guess those types do some good, along with those building wells (and teaching the Africans not to pollute their own water supply) ...

One of the hallmarks of good worldbuilding is instilling the "willing suspension of disbelief" in your audience.

Asgard--also in the MCU and based on Nordic folklore--fails for similar reasons. Why didn't the Asgardians help Europe during the Dark Ages? The Scandinavians had encounters with them in their history.

Marxism presumes that :"the working class" will rise up to overthrow the capitalist system. But the problem is: They don't. The working class (a.k.a. "the proletariat) is too stupid, lazy and complacent to do it on their own.
So what we need ,to get this revolution jump-started, is an elite cadre of super-smart activists to lead the charge - -and only then will the working class wake up and follow the banner.
We call this elite squad, "The Vanguard of the Proletariat."
An that's exactly what happened in Russia in 1917, Cuba 1959, etc. etc. -- it really was a small group of extremists who kicked things off, and then the masses jumped on board.
So, fast forward to 2026: The Democratic Socialist of American consider themselves "The Vanguard of the Proletariat." But there's an even bigger problem now: Every single young left-winger is part of the "Vanguard." There is no "working class" behind them. Theri entire movement is nothing but the elite squad at the front.
They're all special. They're all the cool kids. But they have no mass support.

You youngsters have no idea, but the descendants of slaves from America ran Liberia like a fiefdom for over 100 years until they were tied to posts on the beach and executed en masse in 1980.

Asgard--also in the MCU and based on Nordic folklore--fails for similar reasons. Why didn't the Asgardians help Europe during the Dark Ages? The Scandinavians had encounters with them in their history.

Well Asgard in Norse was the abode of Gods, and humans were only of interest for creating foot soldiers for fighting the 'end of the world' battle against monsters and such. Charity on earth was not a selling point.

>>Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia.
================
Did he cut off the supplies? Did he confiscate the ambulances? Did he bomb the fueling stations? No? So everything was there except the free money, which somehow couldn't be found anywhere in the entire Liberian national budget or GDP. Great country, Liberians. Maybe you need to do better. Dead young mother should be a wakeup call to work harder, not beg harder.

Re: the unfortunate death of the expectant mother in Liberia. One incident is not enough information to determine if Elon is a murderer. How many pregnant women in Liberia died IN hospitals? How many pregnant women never even heard of a hospital, we've been giving birth at home for thousands of years! How many pregnant women die in hospitals IN THE US?? Giving birth is dangerous, even here. (And yes, I feel no obligation to fund anything in Liberia. Even diesel for ambulances.)
Posted by: Sabrina Chase at July 01, 2026 04:29 PM (PHjsi)
=====================
Liberia has diesel fuel. Why did they not make certain ambulances had some of that fuel?
In other words, neither America or Doge, and certainly not Musk, had anything to do with Liberian decisions on fuel use. To even imply America should decide fuel use in Liberia is racist and colonialist, because it is based on an inference Liberians can't decide simple fuel allocation for themselves, and instead need their traditional American masters to do it for them.
Kristoff is a racist, a colonialist, and he should be drummed out of Herald Square for his crimes.

One of Lenin's key insights in his successful takeover is that the masses can be bribed. And bribing the solders is also really important.
He printed lots of money and created massive inflation to do this, but it did allow him to take power.
In some sense the Democrats offering to hand out money to everyone are pursuing a more effective political strategy.

In The Principles of Communism, they (Marx and Engles) describe democratic socialists as either "proletarians who are not yet sufficiently clear about the conditions of the liberation of their class" or "representatives of the petty bourgeoisie.

No nation in Africa had a better head start than Liberia.
Freed slaves, many well-educated, given nearly $3 million from the US in today's dollars for the 12k to 16k to start out.
And they devolved into just another slave-owning, African kleptocracy within a generation.

He did work as an Uber driver on occasion, borrowing his Dad's car when he needed money for weed.
He keeps talking when he's not insulting people that "don't look like him" about the working poor but he has no first had experience as such. He was on his parent's insurance before his freebee congressional benefits kicked in.

MSNOW Cancels Weekend Live Programming; Will Run Cheap Leftwing Podcasts From Earlier In the Week Instead
Canceling 2/7ths of the weekly original programming is always a sign of strength and profitability.
MS NOW is canceling the evening news program The Weekend: Primetime, as it focuses on re-airing its video podcasts as well as its Crooked on MS NOW offerings. Beginning Sunday, June 28, at 6 p.m. ET, MS NOW's weekend-night offerings will be a taped affair as it will air episodes from Crooked Media's video podcasts, including Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, Strict Scrutiny, Lovett or Leave It, Runaway Country with Alex Wagner, Hysteria, Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams, Offline with Jon Favreau, and What A Day. It will also air episodes from its own video podcasting unit, including The Best People with Nicolle Wallace and Why Is This Happening with Chris Hayes. In a memo to employees obtained by TVNewser, MS NOW president Rebecca Kutler said the network's Crooked on MS NOW block has brought new viewers. Kutler added that there will be jobs impacted by this transition, but the network will continue to be staffed during those hours and overnight in the event of breaking news, and has nearly 40 open roles across the network. ... Meanwhile, the network announced that Alex Witt will be departing sometime in the summer. Witt has been with MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) since 1999 and has anchored more hours than any other anchor at the network.Firing the network's longest-serving anchor is likewise a show of corporate strength.
The move to just airing old podcasts also shows that people, including retards on the far left, just don't care for the overproduced, underconsidered Corporate Fake News Product any longer. Via WDW_Pro. Bonus: Yesterday I linked a NY Post story about Jill Biden's books being bought up by Biden-affiliated PACs to contrive a spot on the NYT bestseller list (which is hardly necessary, as they just make up whatever results they like). I missed this: Gavin Newsom used his PAC's money to buy up $1.5 million of copies of "his" "book," which he gave to donors as a thank you. (Gee whiz Gavin, this will take a place of honor in my garbage can.) That $1.5 million in copies, bought by Newsom himself, made up 2/3rds of all "sales" of "his" "book."
MS NOW is overhauling its weekend lineup by leaning harder into podcasts, taped programming and outside partnerships -- a shakeup that will also mark the end of longtime anchor Alex Witt's nearly three-decade run at the network. .. Among the biggest moves is the departure of Witt, one of the network's longest-serving anchors, who plans to leave later this year after nearly three decades with the company. News of Witt's departure was reported by Variety. ... "After nearly three decades, Alex Witt has shared with us her plans to conclude her tenure with the company later this year, following an extraordinary career," Kutler wrote in a memo to staff. Kutler praised Witt as "a beloved longtime member of our MS NOW family" who "anchored more hours on MS NOW than any other anchor in our network's history." ... Kutler also said the network plans to announce additional outside content partnerships in the coming weeks and months, building on its existing relationship with Crooked Media.
Gavin Newsom just used his own PAC to buy $1.5 million worth of his own book. Even more comically, that accounts for 2/3 of the entire print sales. pic.twitter.com/ZvHJqScCB4

This is Trump's fault because he lets the people of the USA run the A/C 24/7 when it is hot thus changing the weather patterns in Europe.
Trump should be impeached because the heat is driving the Euro's crazy and turning on each other as this example in France.
Owl Gore was correct and that Global Warming is real and now Europe is paying the price because Trump did not listen to Owl Gore !!!!!!!!!

Gavin Newsome also just told the largest lie of his political career (I know, but go with it).
He stated that California's economy has grown at 40%, blowing by every other state. "We have no peers," he said.
The problem, though, is that statement is only true under one very twisted condition:
Score California's economy on Nominal Dollars.
Score literally everyone else's on Real Dollars.
Using Real Dollars for California's economy gives them 17% growth.
When you use the Nominal Dollars to measure Texas, they come in at 52% growth. Florida comes in at 66%.

There is a surplus of leftwing media organs so until the government is paying for them there will be significant consolidation and layoffs in the market.
Now if they hired some rightwing voices and instead went for balance they'd open up a whole new slate of potential consumers in a market not so saturated...

the corporate media pays Democrat politicians a big advance based on sales that won't ever actually happen OR will happen but only because the politician uses donor-funds to buy the book up -- thus effectively laundering donor money, which is reserved for campaign expenses, into the Democrat's personal bank account, using the corporate media company as a front company.

Looking at the newsfeed that comes up in my browser it adds up to 90% pap and 10% marginal value; most of it poorly written and avoiding the basic who, what, why, when, and where. FOX X is somewhat better presenting national events such as train wrecks, landslides, and sometimes a clip by Waters.

Trump's idea (or whomever gave it to him) to hold Midterm Republican Conventions was genius.

That worked out so well for California pols that they are now talking about a high speed bus system running between LA and San Francisco.
You probably think I'm kidding.

omg. Like, there are no bus companies right now that will do that in a high-quality, low-cost version?

So much of today's friction is simply explained by people refusing to shit-can the old rules when every day shows that those old rules are no longer applicable.
Such as "staying out of politics". An old wise guy once said "just because you ain't interested in politics, don't mean politics ain't interested in you".

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of contesting EVERY congressional district this year, even if it means running write-in campaigns.
If the country's future is at stake, not running a candidate doesn't help the message. And who knows, perhaps some districts might be winnable if some money is spent pushing our candidates against commies in the general.

Thank goodness for this new CA law! Take that, Trump!
------------------------
Assembly Bill 1084 now makes it easier for Californians who are nonbinary or transgender to legally change their name and gender. Doing so enables these residents to get new identification documents faster than before at a time when the Trump administration is trying to block trans people from getting passports that match their gender identity. Starting July 1, third parties can no longer file objections to adults’ petitions to change their names due to gender identity. In addition, adults, as well as minors whose parents have signed on, must have their name-change petition order issued within six weeks.

I really like the story of how CA is going to have high-speed busses now.
It only requires:
1) an internal combustion engine more efficient and powerful than anything anyone has now
2) tires that are longer-lasting and superior to anything F1 or NASCAR has
3) dedicated highway lanes the entire route.
4) fare payers that will ride these busses
Other than that, this concept is just a few hundred billion away from reality.
BTW, did you know there is a physical speed limit for large ships?
At about 50 mph, the speed causes the prop to create cavitation and can't generate any further thrust.

"I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built. I think it should be the goal of everyone living in a town to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance."
"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy," and the other, a topless bar, would be called "You Mecca Me Hot."
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq of Ribs."

"All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us."
"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy," and the other, a topless bar, would be called "You Mecca Me Hot."

You'll be better served to keep your power dry. I've heard Dwayne Johnson's few forays into social matters. When that walking depository of steroids finally enters the political ring - and he will - he'll be fully LGBT / Open Immigration.
It makes no sense to defend your future enemy against your current enemy.

Stick around for the Tricentennial. I bet that will be a big one.

He played the "content warning" NBC aired before doing their story on the SCOTUS decision on trannies.
It was like "We're going to be using the words 'biological male' and 'biological female' but that's only because those are words the Court used."

Back to the topic tho, this seems extra funny because right now some of those podcasts (Pod Save America, Strict Scrutiny) are NOT on t.v. at all. It looks like they're being dredged from the internet as one of the few properties MSNOW can possibly stick in a time slot.
More fun, some of those podcasts (the Pod Save ones for sure) restrict premium content -- aka cheap talk that you would expect from any podcaster -- to "Members Only." You can't view unless you pay to subscribe. I think it eventually becomes available to all, but I wonder what the contracts will do to Members Only and the money it brings those clowns.

The small town I live in has flags up and down the main road through town. Will have a fireworks display the 4th. That might at the football stadium. So around here people are up for the 4th. But a small rural town would be. The flags up and down Main Street is good enough for me.

My city has decided to do the Independence Day fireworks show on Friday so that city employees can have the day off on Saturday. Last year, they did the fireworks on the 5th, a Saturday, instead of the 4th so that city employees could have the day off. It makes absolute no sense except that it shows that the government is "of the government employees, for the government employees", we are just their serfs.

Jordan wore #9 during his gold medal runs at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (the "Dream Team").
His older brother, Larry, wore #45 in high school. Michael originally chose #23 because it is approximately half of 45. When playing for Team USA, he could not wear #23 or #45 due to international rules limiting numbers to 4–15. He derived #9 by adding the digits of his brother's number: 4 + 5 = 9.

Another trans would-be massacre - from the CA Post:
Las Vegas cops busted a transgender gunman who allegedly planned a casino massacre using a huge cache of weapons.
Allison Howlett, 36, who was born a man but lives as a woman, was arrested Saturday on charges of making terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, gun theft and other offenses.
The wild story unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Howlett’s former spouse called police to report Howlett had stolen her car and the vehicle held numerous firearms, Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said

Gang of Foreign Invaders Randomly Beat a 17-Year-Old French Boy to Death, Videotape It to Share Their Tribal Murder-Coup Online
Everyone's so surprised this keeps happening. We're all like, "no way."
Of course. They were told to say that by France's own globalist "Nudge Unit."
Louis Murder: Hundreds Rally in Narbonne After Brutal Murder of 17-Year-Old Boy
The fatal beating of a French teenager, filmed and shared online by the alleged attackers, has renewed concern over immigrant youth violence. Around 1,000 people marched through the southern French city of Narbonne on Sunday, June 28th, following the death of 17-year-old Louis, who was lynched by a gang of youths. The march, organised under the slogan 'Justice for All,' was promoted on social media by several identitarian groups. Louis's family declined to take part, saying they wished to avoid any political exploitation of their son's death.
So she's not as chill about it as the Nudge Unit, French Branch would like her to be. The five "youths," unidentified except by first name, went straight to the old well and claimed they planned this ambush murder because of Muh Fake Racism.
The demonstration reflects growing public concern over youth violence in France. Louis was attacked ten days ago after allegedly being lured to a construction site in Narbonne by a group of boys--aged between 16 and 19--he knew through child welfare services. He was discovered unconscious the following day by a worker and died in hospital four days later. In an emotional interview, his mother called for those responsible to be tried as adults, saying she hoped her son's death would be "the last."
The wolf pack had stalked its prey several times before finally bringing him down -- and authorities did nothing about the violent wolves.
During questioning, some of the suspects claimed the assault was motivated by revenge for alleged incidents dating back several years, including accusations of bullying by Louis, and violence suffered by the sister of one of the suspects. These claims remain unsubstantiated.
Authorities have also confirmed that Louis had previously reported being assaulted on two separate occasions in the weeks before his death. While many social media users have linked the rise in violence to the growing number of migrants in France, prosecutors have stated that there is no evidence the killing was racially motivated.Sure. But my noticing it is racially motivated, I'm pretty certain.
The family is also calling for a march for the murdered boy -- and justice for the invaders.
The family of Louis, the 17-year-old boy beaten to death at a construction site in Narbonne, France, have spoken publicly about the impact of the attack, with his aunt describing the footage of the incident as "unspeakable." ... Marteau described the video as extremely distressing and said the family struggled to understand the level of violence shown in the footage. She added that those responsible appeared to show no remorse during the assault. "They are laughing, they beat him, they leave him no way out," she said, describing the footage as showing the attack being recorded alongside "snickering and selfies." Louis' mother told Le Journal du Dimanche "This is not the time for mourning; it is the time for war," demanding that the accused be tried as adults. She said France's juvenile justice laws needed to be revised, and recalled that she had repeatedly warned social services that her son was in danger.
They held a march on the 28th and are holding another one Sunday, July 5th. This murder came a month before an 11-year-old girl was raped and murdered by a known sex criminal whom the police repeatedly failed to open an investigation into the killer, even after he was accused by the mother of a 10-year-old girl of repeatedly raping her. He had also been accused of raping a 17-year-old girl, but police dropped that investigation too after the girl said she had "consented" to sex with the man.
Thousands of mourners have turned out for a silent march for a 11-year-old schoolgirl whose murder prompted widespread outrage when it emerged police had failed to question the suspected killer about previous child sexual abuse allegations. The parents of the girl, who has been named only as Lyhanna, led the cortege on Sunday in the south-western village of Fleurance behind a banner reading "Never again". Most of those who marched, including children, wore white shirts or T-shirts, many bearing a smiling portrait of the young victim. Grief has been mixed with profound shock and anger. The killing has sparked a heated national debate over the delays and failings of France's justice system after it emerged that the man being held in connection with Lyhanna's disappearance and murder had been on the police's radar since 2017. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, acknowledged there had been an "unacceptable" failure in the legal system. ... Lyhanna was last spotted getting into a grey car, identified as belonging to Jérôme Barella, a father of two and school cleaner, in Fleurance in the Gers département on 29 May. Her body was found seven days later in a disused grain silo 15km from where she went missing. Barella has denied killing her, telling police he had dropped her off at the local swimming pool.French President Macron has refused to utter the name of Louis, but he is gallavanting around to praise the abolition of the death penalty -- even as many call for its return. Leftwing French paper LeMonde:
After his arrest, it was discovered that, last August, the mother of a 10-year-old girl had gone to the police to allege that he had raped her daughter on several occasions. The preliminary investigation, containing interviews with the victim, psychological and medical reports confirming the child had injuries consistent with sexual abuse, and details of previous accusations against Barella, was sent by police in nearby Toulouse to the prosecutor's office at Auch in January with an instruction to question him. However, the prosecutor's office reportedly failed to open the file for several weeks, then took a further six weeks to assign officers to the case. Barella had still not been contacted or summoned for questioning in the three months before Lyhanna was abducted and killed. Other allegations have also emerged. In December 2017, a mother reported that her 17-year-old daughter had been in a relationship with Barella, but the case was dropped in 2018 after the girl said she had consented. In 2021, the suspect was fired from a cleaning job at another school for alleged inappropriate behaviour with a female student online. It is not know if this was reported to police at the time. In January 2022, he was accused of raping a seven-year-old child at his home in south-western France. The case was transferred to the local prosecutor but dismissed in 2024 owing to lack of evidence. The public prosecutor in the Gers town of Auch, Clémence Meyer, said inquiries, both medical and psychological, had not allowed police to verify the allegation.
Emmanuel Macron at the 9th World Congress Against the Death Penalty in Paris, June 30, 2026. Forced to watch the French presidential campaign unfold without him, President Emmanuel Macron does not intend to disappear from the national conversation. On Tuesday, June 30, he attended the 9th World Congress Against the Death Penalty, held in Paris, to warn against calls to restore capital punishment, 45 years after its abolition. "Even in this old country that is France, nothing is ever guaranteed, and these struggles must always be fought again," Macron warned, keeping his aviator glasses on in the dimly lit Studio 104 at the Maison de la Radio. "The battle for abolition (...) is decidedly contemporary, because today, in our societies, this debate is resurfacing," he declared before a cosmopolitan audience. The murders of Lyhanna, age 11, who was raped then killed in the Gers, and of Louis, a 17-year-old beaten to death in Narbonne, have in recent days reignited arguments in favor of the death penalty on social media and certain television panels. CNews, Europe 1 and Le Journal du dimanche, all owned by the billionaire Vincent Bolloré, even published a survey on the topic.

I don't know if history and election results tell you all that much about national character. For that matter, I don't know if they deserve the cheese-eating surrender monkey label, which is fun, but maybe another false impression.

@61 can't say that I know. I'm just looking at French behavior through history. Their paratroopers in Algeria, their behavior in Vichy, and their actions in the Napoleonic period and in the Terror during the revolution are indications of viciousness

Hey don't get mad at me because I point out that people who go full Darwinism lose the will to defend themselves.
Crime is bad, but it's not a death sentence. Ideological suicide IS.
So you're comparing apples and oranges, pal.

There are two (2) ways you can get somebody else to do something, or not do something. You can try to persuade them. If that doesn’t work, you have to force them. That’s it.
As a practical matter, it certainly appears that the mighty propaganda organs of yore - newspapers, magazines, network television - are walking sucking chest wounds. They no longer have a monopoly on approved narratives. They no longer enjoy hardly any respect or credibility.
So it should be no surprise the usual suspects eye the Internet and “social media” with a jaundiced eye. The reporters, the news outlets, are now largely the people, albeit unpaid.
Notice they do not like this arrangement. At one extreme, sounding like the old Soviet Union, UK subjects are being arrested for merely reporting the news, essentially.
I do believe Free Speech is essential. It is often ugly. Divisive? Well depends on whom is trying to divide whom, eh? Free speech for me and not for thee, eh? Who gets to decide?

Almost none of my arguments to atheists EVER assume there is a God.
That doesn't mean they know how to play Jenga with civilization, though. But they keep trying, because "it's all simple".
Atheism is all about kicking the can down the road. Eventually we'll discover what makes a safe, coherent society. Eventually we'll find out how life rose from non-life--and that's not a "extraordinary claim" despite the solid history of the biological principle that only life is, when observed, the source of life.
Again, I'm not saying "Therefore, God" I'm saying that this is where they play the game that YOU have to provide "extraordinary evidence" that non-life COULD NOT produce life, because evidence of life.

My theory is that the French burned out. They were violent, passionate, and formidable in prior ages, but the Great Terror, Napoleon, and following burned their passion out of them. They saw error in passion.
They pretty much became neo-Epicureans at that point and smooth living became the point. And "evolved" to the point that Michel Foucault could challenge all speech as power games (so he could one day fuck boys).

I still can't get over the video of the "cultural enricher" being caught masturbating in front of children at a pool.
And when the group of men rush over and start beating his ass, some stupid ass white girl in a bikini runs in to ... defend the scholar.
Physically putting herself between justice and the pedo, Mr. Jerking Off.
Because his skin assigned him as Oppressed.
And the skin of the others assigned them as Oppressors.

Its time for the women to get the beating too. Simply put, women no longer should have the protection of chivalry (which was mainly for the nobility anyway).

Pedophilia is the end game of all queer theory. They've taken biological sex away via transcultism as a taboo or guardrail on sexual activity and that's a pretty fundamental one. Age is their brass ring, their final frontier, the last boundary for them to destroy. It's why they've been pushing so hard to expose children at younger and younger ages to depictions of sexual activity between minors.

I think one of the things that annoys (and frustrates) me most about this migrant attacks is how "civilization" protects them. We keep seeing this stories of soiltary assailants committing knife attacks, and being successful (killing and wounding multiple victims). The current "civilized" response in Europe, UK, Canada, and even the urban centers of the US is to run the other way. It's encouraged...practiced even.
Just once, I want to see Mohammad and his cleaver try that in Rural town America. By the time the cops arrived, the perpatrators body would be in so many pieces, the cops would get tired looking for them. There is a defeatist mentality growing, and self-defense (make no mention of offensive response) is discouraged, punished, and feared.

We at least have the case, empirically that "a lie" is not always detrimental, if the goal is survival.
But although atheists partly believe that all Man's advances come from survival and that in a sense, surviving and propagating is all we are doing here--in the most materialist of senses.
They, too, feel the emptiness of "mere survival". Because "mere survival" is not "landing on Mars" it's not "exploring the universe". Survival compels none of that yearning.
It also doesn't compel changing a social order that has been fit for a good number of people of their kind to survive.
I think it is the emotional rejection of Darwinism and the intellectual need for Darwinism that creates the mental deficiency common with atheism.
But people like Sam Harris will, in an instant, produce the whole cloth bromide that "Truth is always better than a lie".
However, he should have that out with Daniel Dennett. (cont)

The post Verdun was no better - they spent a year or more attacking near the area and fabricating advances with severe losses. A major offensive was started after the new commander promised to cancel followup attacks if the first ones failed and then did the opposite. A mutiny on the front put Petain in charge, and for a considerable period could claim no victories because his revamped operations were taking land that the French had lied about taking for years.

Because Dennett is on record as saying that the consciousness by which we process either is a "mistake".
Thus we have a "mistake" which allows us to pursue a decrease in survival over something we classify as "truth" because we believe we are conscious of how that statement matches with the way we see the world.
But, eventually they'll hammer it out. You'll see.
We just need to kick the can down the road some more, because that's how all animals (which is what "we are") survive, of course.

Because moderns have a cargo cult on the principles they received from Christian society.
Vengeance is MINE, sayeth the Lord. So, because the natives were mean to your country at one time does not entail rape gangs to get them back, and the feeling that we really deserve rape gangs on the other side.
But the moderns have no machinery to operate that. Because they have no solid backing for what Locke built on God's prohibition against disposing of yourself other than its' probably a "good idea" to think of others as equal.
If you think there are two standards, it's actually easier to navigate the inequality by which I, in my flesh, find myself ranking others and the higher "equality" which should be my guide.

Europe is at a point where I think it will take the kidnapping or violence by some of these "youths" to the children or relatives of the heads of state of these nations for them to act. They clearly don't care about their countries children and the vile acts committed against them. The UK being the worst. Every time now that I see a picture of Prince William and Kate at an event with their children I wonder if they even care about all of the grooming gangs in the British Isles committing atrocities or Henry Nowak, 18, killed by a foreigner and then treated horribly by the UK Police. Do they even care what's happening in their country that William will one day be crowned King?

While many social media users have linked the rise in violence to the growing number of migrants in France, prosecutors have stated that there is no evidence the killing was racially motivated.

If you think there are two standards, it's actually easier to navigate the inequality by which I, in my flesh, find myself ranking others and the higher "equality" which should be my guide.
Posted by: Axeman at July 01, 2026 02:01 PM (Fi81e)

I don't have to lie and tell myself that everybody has this idea of equality that they do not actually practice to the extent of their day-to-day decisions and their internal biases and the preference for "equality" which no human believes enough to create the communal "SHOULD" in "I SHOULD treat everybody as equal".
And even were that so, SHOULD means we are not. Whereas if we differentiate God's standard from ours, we see that we are in a state of sin and flesh and do what we do, but that does not diminish the importance--not of doing "what everybody knows they should but really doesn't" but of what God thinks we should do.
The Christian separation between God and man is just a less schizophrenic idea than naturalism combined with moralism.

Remember: all the women who seemed to want to get rid of "toxic masculinity" immediately ushered in 5 or 8 million swarthy fighting age barbarian males from the third world. So perhaps... and I know this sounds crazy... perhaps it wasn't about feminizing all males, just the ones in this culture, to prime the country for a takeover.

No reason. But Sam Harris is saying "Truth is better than a lie", that's a value proposition not specific to Sam Harris.
And we need to test whether that is always the case. And it does not appear that it is, if what I believe is no more than a "lie".
There's also little reason to regard Dennett as he says some crazy shit.

"Gangs of New York" showed that rather clearly. In fact, many of the Irish gravitated towards law enforcement to provide favoritism upon Irish immigrants (and exploit them as well). It's similar to what migrants in the UK are doing. Muslims are actively trying to gain presence in UK law enforcement, political office, and even the judiciary to influence all those systems (just like the Irish did in NYC).

And yet, to his sometimes ridicule, he has defined himself as a "moralist" atheist.
I realize that his moralism goes out the door with a basement full of dead babies bargain. But he has taken in lumps on the other side as an atheist moralist and somewhat "spiritualist" who kinda sorta believes in the Buddhist "We're all one collective" thing and meditation.
Also, once you realize the level of sloppiness in the eventual solutions that atheists will bring to us, you realize that atheists who haven't made the same bargain will repeat people like Sam Harris or not as they need to.
Because it really doesn't matter and they have all the time in the world to work everything out--like animals surviving, you know.
If you don't attribute a statement to a person, you risk it being called a "strawman". However, if you tag a person to it, you risk it being called an "overgeneralization", too.

This is Trump's fault because he lets the people of the USA run the A/C 24/7 when it is hot thus changing the weather patterns in Europe.

He definitely suffers from "Conservatives are ucky" syndrome, I'd say.
Probably because he thinks the proliferation of religion on the "Right" means forming a coalition with people who don't dogmatically know that "the truth" is better than something that he has decided is a "lie".

According to early reports and what’s being circulated online right now, Louis was first attacked weeks ago and went to the police for help, who seemingly did nothing; he was then apparently murdered as retribution.

Looking at the names, they are NOT part of the "usual suspects" we think of when not seeing demographic information. This is not a diversity issue.
Also, your headline says "randomly", but they knew this boy and stalked him. This was anything BUT "random."

Immigrants are doing exactly what they were imported to do..... helping out government carry out White genocide.
Every time immigrants kill a White person, they’re not just killing one person. They are killing an entire generation, a whole bloodline that could’ve existed.

I would agree, to an extent. The problem becomes that when you don't take evening, morning, number, day to be a literal 24 hour day, it brings license to make other scripture say whatever you want, or don't want.
And it's not just Genesis 1. We got our 7 day week from the creation week. The 4th commandment.

Until all muslims are deported out of civilized nations, this evil satanic brutality will not stop.
Islam is a satanic death cult. It is long past time for us to follow the examples of the 1st Crusade, and drive these animals back to their 3rd world shitholes.

Democrat Socialists Take Another Scalp As a Gen Z Ethiopian Immigrant Defeats a 15-Term Congresswoman
I'm glad, at least, to see Democrats suffering from their own DEI agenda themselves for once.
They tend to legally and corporate-ishly insulate themselves from DEI replacement, usually. Gay-ass NPR:Political newcomer and democratic socialist Melat Kiros is poised to become the first Gen Z woman elected to Congress after defeating 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette in a primary race for Colorado's 1st Congressional District, according to a race call by the Associated Press. The win in the solidly blue district that makes up most of Denver means that Kiros, a 29-year-old Ph.D. student and lawyer, is all but likely headed to Washington, D.C., next year. She would replace DeGette, 68, who has held office since 1997, the same year Kiros was born.By the way: She got here, she says, due to the Visa "Diversity" Lottery championed by Ted Kennedy. This Communist-Islamist invader also believes that 9/11 was the "inevitable consequence of American foreign policy" and that we made the terrorists believe that another act of violence was their only choice. See, the US "destabilized" the Middle East. No, we destabilized it after 9/11. Nice blame shifting, though, terrorist.
It's an upset that comes amid a broader intraparty fight taking place among Democrats as prominent incumbents face pressure to pass the baton to a slate of more left-leaning and younger candidates pledging to reject longtime political norms and practices. Kiros, an Ethiopian immigrant, is part of that movement, backing economic populist policies including universal healthcare and childcare, and more politically polarizing issues like abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and ending U.S. military aid to Israel.

I have an idea. Let's seek retribution on the American hating Commie Left. Forewarned is forearmed.
The Left, and their desire for power at any cost, is to blame. They started it.
The GOPe won't stop them. They never consider they will be the second group against the wall, after the outer party Leftists.

My only recollection of DeGette is that she wanted to ban any religious exemption to abortion. So excuse me if I don't waste any tears on her defeat, even at the hands of a commie. Like seeing Gregor Strasser murdered by Hitler.

Another interesting aspect of this is the 'It's fine.' mentality.
There was something where someone was reporting that Hasan was trying to encourage his viewers not to believe that all of the anti-gay rhetoric by Islam is all 'Propaganda' and not really real- that they loved and tolerated Homosexuals. It struck me that he is a useful idiot in more ways than one and also illustrated how this is a self-perpetuating and self-normalizing and propagandizing ecosystem. In order to keep the various splinters in cohesion, they propagandize to the various groups not to pay attention to what other members of the coalition are saying or believe what they are doing. You see it across the board. Gays are not supposed to listen to Islam. Jews are not supposed to listen to Black anti-semitism (or anti-asian.) Everyone is encouraged to ignore what everyone else is doing and focus on the designated hate object.
It's really quite remarkable.

Nice to be able to live your life like that. Law school at Notre Dame didn't work out, so off to get a Ph.D. and run for Congress! And by the way, America sucks, but here's where she is because she also could have stayed in Ethiopia, which is where she's from.

It’s estimated that 25 percent of Chicagoans face food insecurity and persistent hunger.
For the 2025-2026 school year, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) face a $734 million deficit, driven by the end of federal pandemic aid and pension obligations. On top of that, students in CPS test well below the national average in math and reading, with just 31 percent proficient in reading and 18 percent proficient in math.
Chicago is also one of the most violent cities in the United States, with 416 homicides and 1,471 shootings in 2025. For the start of 2026, homicides are up roughly six percent and shootings are up slightly, too.
Despite these deplorable statistics, Democrats celebrated the Barack Obama Presidential Library, which opened about two weeks ago. The brutalist building, which looks like something straight out of the Empire in Star Wars, cost roughly $850 million.

To some extent, I wonder whether ideology (DSA versus standard Democrat) or DEI explains these kind of results. Maybe what is going on to some extent is the expression of younger demographics being fed up with older ones and voting accordingly. Not saying that's justified, but there does seem to be a lot of anti-Boomer sentiment etc. among the younger, more feral gimmedats.

But soon, says a whisper, "Arise, arise", tomorrow belongs to me!
Dems were afraid to kick out the crazies from the red-green coalition of jihadists, because votes, man. And now the cray-cray took over the party. So far Rs are resisting the same takeover from the Woke Reich. Trump kicked them out, though some in his administration are a little timid and, for some retarded reason, are afraid to lose their frienship. Fooled by the fake, spiked numbers from online bots and stuff.

An easy dem district so she'll be in Congress. Same vote as DeGette who didn't even have to campaign for 30 years. But should be full of Omar type comments that will be paintable on the dems.
The problems come if the dems get control of the House and these people get to run committees like appropriations, foreign affairs and homeland security.

So, this happened in ole Southern Maine a long time ago. A bunch of white progressive guilt-tripped know-nothings elected a bunch of native Somalians to local city governments.
And its promptly turned into a sh*thole. South Portland passed an ordinance where you can legally butcher your own meat in your backyard and your neighbors, complaining about the stink of gore, can't do sh*t about it.

I'm hoping (it might not be in good form to be praying) that younger Jews in Denver and surroundings kick the old liberals off their synagogues' committees. Because right now mainline Judaism in the region is as useless as, uh, the PCUSA.
Is Judaism headed the way of the Catholic priesthood at all? The younger / GenX priests are based, it's the doddering fools who tilt their heads about immigration and LGBT.

I don't think there are even that many in america who would really, truly stand in the streets and get blood on their hands for the DSA. Spain then and America now aren't really comparable. We have far, far more wealth and comfort overall. We have a far, far less engaged populace overall (most people really don't follow this shit, and whatever opinions they might have are an inch deep). And what precious little street violence they could muster up to now was all rented with USAID money.
You won't see much more than a little bit of mob violence in a few major cities for a few months, is my bet. It'll get ugly, but not apocalyptic. Merely annoying, at worst. At best, horribly discrediting to the garbage baby soyjack pseudo-marxists. They've never faced opposition, their entire lives.
But they're about to, now. After decades of coddling and incubation in the Uniparty's hothouses, they're about to get thrown out into the wind and the sun without any hardening off whatsoever.

Insty linked Don Surber's take on the recent Supreme Court decisions. Worth a serious read. 9:09AM time stamp.
The demolition of the Humphrey's Executor decision is a solid hit for Dems. The decision allowing unlimited campaign contributions is a plus for Republicans. And the silver lining from the mail-in ballots decisions, though bad, does include the requirement for postmarks and a 5-day cutoff.
The Dems' Commie takeover in solid blue districts is not only a distraction for the DNC, it will have a solid impact on campaign financing. Wealthy donors funding rabidly antisemitic candidates for the general? Guess which Dem candidates are going suck up all the MSM attention during the fall campaign?

They're commies. Pushback by putting other commies up against the wall for political apostasy is what they do.

OT: I am continually surprised by the wisdom of our forefathers (even though I shouldn't be.)
So I had to walk back and forth between my car shop yesterday to have my car looked at. Full sun. 90+. High humidity. On a lark I dug out one of my Hawaiian shirts to wear.
That really is a very pleasant shirt for high temp and high humidity. Cool(er). Did not chafe. Did not feel I was drowning in sweat. Damn, they were on to something.

37 Cased on the Spanish Civil War, about 50-60 million dead. That is a problem I want to avoid.
Posted by: NaCly Dog

I don't think that is the case. Even if the Civil War involved nukes, the problem for the left is that they are concentrated in the cities and that makes them a lot more vulnerable to nukes than rural more conservative targets. A dispersed population is always in better shape than a concentrated one when nukes start flying around.
The problem for the left is they are primarily foreign looters with shallow roots unlikely to persuade others to join and their college aged followers are not the horny handed toilers that were the core of the Socialist/Communist movement in times gone by.
Same reason the Red Guard was easily put down by the Chicom Army when it became necessary to stamp on them. And why the Lincoln brigades, etc. were not particularly successful in Spain. Fighting bravely is not the same as fighting well and trained troops are far more likely to prevail under such circumstances as street fights (also see the Reds versus the Not Sees during the waning days of Weimar). The Not Sees had the battle tested former troops not the Reds.

Questionable. But we should consider our own weekend at Bernie’s situation as he would be replaced temporarily by the governor who is a Democrat.

Not really sure that there would be much difference as the clock ticks down on this Congress. Any governor's appointee would only serve for a few months before a special election anyway. KY legislature changed the law in 2024 after ruminations that forcing a Dem to pick a GOP list would be unconstitutional under the KY law. The new law provides that a special election be held by 49 days after the vacancy exists.

Food insecurity? We have the fattest welfare class in the history of the world.
Now leftists will tell you that is because healthy food is too expensive.
But then if you offer to replace SNAP with baskets of healthy unprepared foods like raw chicken, vegetables and fruits they'll tell you that's racist.

Insty linked Don Surber's take on the recent Supreme Court decisions. Worth a serious read. 9:09AM time stamp.
The demolition of the Humphrey's Executor decision is a solid hit for Dems. The decision allowing unlimited campaign contributions is a plus for Republicans. And the silver lining from the mail-in ballots decisions, though bad, does include the requirement for postmarks and a 5-day cutoff.
Surber is usually very good.
As to the mail-in ballots thing, the usual response here is that the postmark can be altered, so it's a complete loss for us. However, that's an argument for tighter control of postmarking, and severe penalties for fraudulent postmarking. These are things we can and should implement.

What kind of mumbo-jumbo is "food insecurity"?
Nobody actually goes hungry in the United States, so they had to come up with a new term, where worrying about going hungry makes you a victim.
By that definition, I experience food insecurity every day just before lunchtime.

Since the Democrat Party is all grift all the time, they have no immune system against the whole-of-society confidence schemes of Marxism and Islam.
The GOPe was able to defang the Tea Party by running grifters (or co-opting them) spouting the correct rhetoric, so that there was no remedy at the ballot box for elite betrayal; but that was using scam tactics against honest men. It wouldn't work the same for the Dem establishment against the DSA, who are even harder scammers.
So, I think that the primary strategy is likely to work like a dream for the Islamunists, done in a flash, very unlike how it has taken MAGA a decade of persistent hard work that is still ongoing. And, even if their regular voters aren't with them yet, they will be after the next general election; once they vote (D) out of habit, the cognitive bias of Commitment Tendency will take hold, and they will find some way to rationalize that they're not a bad person for voting for the destruction of civilization.

The only episodes in US history that come close are the 1800, the 1860, and the 1932 elections. And DJT won two presidential elections in the teeth of a vicious, monolithic MSM that used every opportunity to destroy him.

I agree; I think it’ll be like the Tranny movement. Remember about 3 years ago, it looked like they were making inroads everywhere, Biden was appointing them to high office, they were moving into sports…
But now today, they’ve hit their high water mark and are falling apart. At all levels. Just took a little while for the backlash to kick in.

As Joy Reid explained about Kanala's defeat, white women have once again failed us all.
Was talking with a female friend. She was complaining female sports salaries were lower then male for most sports and in some cases there were only professional leagues for things like Lingerie football.
So I asked, do you watch the WNBA, women's soccer, etc? "No I don't like to watch sports". Ok that's actually pretty common women like to watch sports on average less then men...but why wouldn't you expect there is less opportunity then for women in pro-sports if women won't watch them? "But that's not fair!"

This is HIGHLY controlled. They believe, perhaps rightly, it's the only way to get "energy" - and "youthful" energy at that - back on their side. And in the process they get to swerve the country further Left than anyone likely imagines.
Take it from your old buddy Ellipsis. Things are going to get... weird.

I got to help raise a wonderful young step-daughter between '89 and '99 -- who suffered under the tutelage of my many political rants -- and got to live part of The American Dream of her mother and me.
She unfortunately went to college (I persuaded her to go to Whittier, but she transferred to Chico State after one semester to be with her boyfriend).
Long story short: I looked for her on social media in 2016, and she was part of some Bernie Sander for POTUS organization. What a gut-punch ... don't think I've ever been so deflated and disappointed.
To paraphrase Ted Williams: "I consider myself to be ... the greatest failure on the face of the Earth."

We never stood a chance against the Uniparty/Old Democrat monolith. Scraps from the table was all we could hope for.
Now that monolith is crumbling, and what's filled the vacuum of their collapse is a bunch of garbage baby theater kids whose only tactic is shouting nonsense and petty violence.
Also, this is happening as the Democrat Party itself is facing existential losses of seats in the 2030 census.

Think about it this way - Trump for all his energy, strength, and gifts was very nearly taken out by the Uniparty... and at the very least contorted and trapped and directed by them if not merely stifled. They went after his family, his businesses, his past, people who met him once, EVERYTHING. They used the highest levels of government and the lowest depths of media malfeasance. And did not stop for one second, to maintain their grip on power.
Some low IQ commie jackbags do not have the wherewithal to fight the Uniparty, even if from the Left. Plus every single thing out of the Left for 50 years has been prime astroturfed garbage.
Which leaves one option - this convenient "new communism push" is fully sanctioned and blessed. You'll know exactly when it's not because these people, however many there are, will be personally and professionally destroyed, ten times over.

I agree things are going to get weird, but the old time Dems have no ammo to control it. The best they could do is try and get the donors to not fund the crazies. However the crazies have their own money people and they've also shown they can win without big money. Look at Schumer and Hakeem the leaders. Deers in the headlights with no clue what to do

If the Republican Party has any sense of the historic, every single one of the Dem DSA candidates should have a Republican or a Conservative contesting their election, even if it means starting a write-in campaign. Murky won a senate election as a write-in independent, independent because she was running against the official Republican candidate.

Wednesday Morning Rant
So, if this upcoming election goes well, we ought to consider packing the Court - not like the Left proposes it, but in a different way and with a different purpose. The traditional notion of packing the Court so as to ensure - or improve the odds of - victory for your side is too timid. Better to obviate and humiliate the Court than try to co-opt it by padding the numbers. So think big. Don't add a few justices. Add a lot of justices and adapt the quorum rules to grind it to a halt. Make the Court far too unmaneuverable to avoid gridlock - and too absurd to command respect.
Grow the number of justices not to 13 or 17 or 19, but to 100,000. Build them a stadium to work in, and they can travel around to major college football stadiums for trials until it's constructed. With the new count would come new quorum rules, as those are also set by legislation. Right now, there are nine justices, with six required for quorum. Make the new quorum requirement 75,000 justices. Without at least that many justices confirmed and present, no cases can be heard. The odds of SCOTUS hearing any case again under such a scenario are fairly slim. Since such a large number would make seating good justices impossible, it would also simplify confirmation. Nominate anyone. Take a page out of Caligula's book and put a horse on the bench. It just wouldn't matter anymore. Even if the new mega-SCOTUS could be filled and enough of them show up to form the quorum, it would be a circus. That many people in a single deliberative body could never reach a meaningful decision. It would be arbitrary and absurd. It's arbitrary and absurd now, of course, but there will be no way to hide that in the new Supreme Circus of the United States. Trials would take forever. The grandstanding would be continuous. The preparation materials and limitless variety of opinions would keep International Paper and Georgia-Pacific farting through silk until the end of time. The new trees that would need to be planted to overcome the sudden run on copy paper would even keep the environmentalists happy! It would also show very clearly just how valuable the SCOTUS is, and effectively eliminate the consequences of ignoring it. Who cares what 100,000 circus monkeys think? It could rule any way it wanted and it would be ignored. It would immediately lose any gravitas it has and would go from Elite Institution of Very Serious and Thoughtful Men to the side show it is in all but reputation. This would, of course, open the doors for any and all bad behavior whereas today it opens the doors only for some bad behavior that continues the game, but so be it. With communism resurgent among the youth and in our urban hives, and with the Left no longer pretending that law or righteousness matter, why not? If the game is now pure will to power, then cut it off at the knees. Reduce the Court - and its power - not by shrinking it, but by growing it to absurdity.Comments

If we're playing make-believe, I'd pack the Court to 56 justices.
There were 56 signers of the Declaration, so there's a symmetry to it.
Plus, you'll never, ever get a majority of them to completely agree to anything. There will be multiple concurring and dissenting opinions, and it'll be a glorious mess.
That may convince the population of the absolute asininity of letting the Supremes decide everything for us.

Personally, I think SCOTUS has outlived its usefulness.
The issues it opts to take on are complicated and barely scratch the surface of being constitutional in content... the only criteria I think the court should concern itself with.
This "horse trading" behind the scenes only reinforces my beliefs on all that.

This court, in its current makeup, has had quite a few 9-0 rulings, haven't they? I know it's greater than none, but I don't really keep tabs on it because Con Law is more or less a farce for entertainment purposes on par with women's basketball or professional wrestling.
But still.... unanimous rulings have always been fairly rare, haven't they? And yet I feel like we're seeing a lot more of them lately, for all this rigid division they're supposed to have.

If I had the ability to do so:
1. Legislation altering the jurisdiction of federal courts in various ways: stripping and limiting jurisdiction where possible, granting jurisdiction in ways that would flood the courts with types of litigation that the kind of lawyers who aspire to federal judgeships do not want to hear, consider beneath them. To keep them from hearing matters where they are a nuisance, and to make the job hard and undesirable.
2. Legislation to strip out accustomed amenities. Travel and CLE budgets zeroed out. No perks.
3. Legislation to eliminate support staff. No more law clerks, no more staff attorneys, no more secretaries. Judges do their own work from now on. All of it. This will reduce opinion length and require efficiency on the part of the judges.
A lot could be accomplished by doing things that drive careerists and politicians away from the courts and replace them with working lawyers.

And then flag it for suspicion of money laundering.
Then TSA puts them on the no-fly list.
Then audit them for failing to pay their withholding taxes.
And so on and so on and so on ....

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a narrow 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled today that any baby born in or within five yards of an Olive Garden restaurant is an Italian citizen.
The ruling was met with skepticism from some Italians who worried that many might use the new law to engage in what is referred to as "birth tourism" and would flock to the popular restaurant chain to quickly have a baby on the floor of the facility and then head back home with a new Italian citizen as part of their families.

But still.... unanimous rulings have always been fairly rare, haven't they? And yet I feel like we're seeing a lot more of them lately, for all this rigid division they're supposed to have.
Posted by: Warai-otoko
Probably because of all the insane, politically and TDS motivated rulings by lower courts that don't survive even cursory scrutiny by actual legal standards.
There isn't really a way to solve this problem short of no longer electing clowns like Barry, who view SCOTUS as just another avenue to ensure the ascendancy of the left.

The path to being a SC Justice actively weeds out anything that resembles intelligence. The precious few who make it through who are actually decent humans with functioning brains are a failure of the system, not its purpose.
Think of it this way: Who has the ultimate say in who gets to be a SC Justice? The Senate.
The biggest collection of hateful, ignorant, brain damaged mutants ever assembled since God packed together this stupid planet out of hot star shit like a spiteful child making a snowball with a rock in it.

All you'll get is a court packed with Boney Carrots and "It's A Tax", stamping on a human face, forever.

Court packing-- the Stupid Party should tell the Democratic Socialists, "That's a great idea. Let's not wait until you get into power, but let's do it now."
Then we will get to see all of these national socialists loudmouths denouncing "court packing" because the wrong people are behind it.
The same goes for new states. Pass resolution s approving any attempt by California, or Illinois or even Texas and Florida to split into multiple states. Those states are much too big, and need more senators to represent their interests.

16 If we're playing make-believe, I'd pack the Court to 56 justices.
There were 56 signers of the Declaration, so there's a symmetry to it.
Plus, you'll never, ever get a majority of them to completely agree to anything. There will be multiple concurring and dissenting opinions, and it'll be a glorious mess.
That may convince the population of the absolute asininity of letting the Supremes decide everything for us.

2) highlight the worst criminals now made new citizens by the Court
3) win the midterms
4) invoke the Jackson Rule and start deporting these new "citizens." Flat refuse to even respond, even to the ever more desperate and shrill court orders demanding their return.
5) flag the courthouse personal and facilities payment accounts as "suspicious of terrorism" and cancel all. Because they are terrorist holding America hostage to their "rules"
6) let the shooting start, fuck 'em and feed the fish heads.

Senate is pretty much out of reach for the Dems this cycle due to states and the upside is perhaps a larger majority. It is much more idiosyncratic than House midterms. Even House midterms, six year into a term rarely produces the huge swings that a president's first term does. Plus the ending of the racial gerrymandering is going to make it necessary for the Dems to sweep all the competitive seats. Hard to do.

Nothing wrong with optimism as long as we are not pretending away reality. You can know the score and still be optimistic but it mostly requires God and Jesus at this point.
That said I was incredibly pessimistic in 2012 2013 2014 and then along came Trump. I didn't see him coming but I recognized him when he did. And it makes sense that it was the "evangelicals" as a group who adopted this scoundrel early.

So tend your personal garden, engage in politics as little or as much as your stomach can take, and rely on the Lord for the rest.

Language arts. A person of lime on YT frequently posts about differences between British English and English as God intended. A phrase I've never understood is "going pear shaped" meaning to go completely wrong. He says it's actually "going pair shaped." I still don't understand the derivation.
I've always assumed it refers to the shape something assumes when it falls from a height and impacts a hard surface. Pear-shaped.
Posted by: Archimedes at July 01, 2026 12:01 PM (Riz8t)
It's an aviation term.
The RAF started using it to describe flight maneuvers that went out of the norm. Instead of smooth arcs, the aircraft would literally have a pear shaped flight path.

My favorite Arkancide was a former Clinton aide named Mark Middleton
Ruled a suicide and this is from the sheriff before he clammed up.
"'He died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the chest. He found a tree and he pulled a table over there, and he got on that table, and he took an extension cord and put it around a limb, put it around his neck and he shot himself in the chest with a shotgun.
'It was very evident that the shotgun worked because there was not a lot of blood or anything on the scene. You can tell the shotgun blast was on his chest, you can tell that because there is a hole in the chest and pellets came out the back of his back. It was definitely self-inflicted in our opinion'."
There is also the UN employee that was involved in the Clinton Global foundation who died weightlifting apparently.

The SC has never been a particularly good idea because there is no mechanism to ensure that they do their job.
This is the big flaw in M v M.
Theoretically congress scum have to face elections and if they don't do what their voters want get sent home.
But SC justices have their seat until they resign or die.
In a serious society if you did really want a court to decide constitutionality they would regularly and I mean regularly get removed from office for not closely following the constitution.
So take the birthright case. Did Indians get citizenship when the 14th was passed? No? Ok if you ignore that you are gone. Did you read why the people that passed/wrote the 14th said they did it? No? Ok you are gone

Only WEIRDOs (an actual sociological term for high trust Western European stock) believe in honesty--the rest of the world subsists on lies--great and small--in order to benefit themselves and their kin network.

Did anyone here know about this case? Orthodox Jew will have a case before the Supreme Court as to whether he can have a prayer gathering with other men at his house. Apparently some people in his Ohio town didn't like it
Is it a zoning case or something else?

You’re wasting your time. Trust Me. It’s only gotten worse. More recent generations are completely and totally immunized against facts, logic, and reason, and utterly lack the ability to determine basic logical fallacies in rhetoric or persuasion.
This is our education system now. In spite of all the 24/7/365 mind fvckery and gas lighting, many kids still turn out OK. But it’s a small miracle.

In a serious society if you did really want a court to decide constitutionality they would regularly and I mean regularly get removed from office for not closely following the constitution.
Who would do the removing though?
Surely not Congress, which can barely do anything, and when it does is not known for its fidelity to the constitution.
The President? We know what that would look like whenever a Democrat was elected, and I don't think many Republican ones would wow us here either. After all, they saddled us with people like Powell, O,Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Roberts.
Retention elections? You'd have to rewrite the constitution (ironically enough). And, well, the most of the public who are engaged (and that's not most of the public) knows whether it likes a decision at best. Ask most people how riled up they are about gay marriage being imposed by judicial fiat, for example. In my experience, most are not.

Likely to lose under Employment Division v. Smith standard as long as enforcement is consistent. One of the zoning and code enforcement issues with unlicensed churches in residential neighborhoods ends up being parking, noise, and other nuisances. So many locales ban religious assemblies on a regular basis in residential zoning areas.
Unless there was some sort of animus (see Lukumi Babulu Aye v. City of Hialeah), neutral generally applicable laws can be enforced even on religious practices--not thoughts but practices. Decided on rational basis test. As long as the govt has a reasonable policy that applies to all religions equally, the plaintiffs must prove that the government's action is unreasonable. Hard to do.

“things were better back then"
——-
This is ordinarily not an allowed opinion in Leftist dogma. What changed?
The way that works, if you were to innocently point out that almost every single social health issue was demonstrably better in say, the 1950s - they will start screeching like stuck pigs that it wasn’t perfect for everybody. Therefore, no comparisons can ever be made. The End.

Not one of his busier, urban scenes. This one is relaxing like the horses shown. Everything is soft: the grass, the gentle swell of the land, the slow movement of the barges. Only the horses are solid to focus the attention on them. It's a pleasant scene to enjoy at a relaxing moment.

Grok thoughts on horse face celebrities:
Sarah Jessica Parker is by far the most commonly cited example in discussions of this (often rude) description.
People frequently point to her long, narrow face shape, prominent chin/jawline, and overall equine-like proportions—especially in memes, forums, and lists about distinctive celebrity faces. She’s embraced her unique look and had massive success with it (e.g., Sex and the City), but the “horse face” label has stuck for decades.
Other frequently mentioned names:
• Taylor Swift: Often listed for her long face and features.
• Celine Dion: Called out in “celebrities who look like horses” threads for her facial structure.
• Hilary Duff and Anna Kendrick: Appear on user-generated “horse face” actor lists.
• Others occasionally mentioned: Hilary Swank, Tori Spelling, and in older threads, figures like Chelsea Clinton or Camilla (though these are more niche or political jabs).

Little had a tough, character-building night, twice getting out at 3rd, despite getting on 1st 3/3, with a FC, E, and hard fought BB for the tying RBI in the 6th, which the next batter walked off with a single RBI to end the game 8-7, after which they mobbed the batter.

In more important news (LL Baseball continued):
2nd game, we beat our other arch-rivals (hey, it's small rural town America, they're all arch-rivals), 7-4. Little had a great night, starting with a K and ending with an RBI single. He got back on the horse, delivered 2 Ks, giving up 1 BB and 1 run in two innings, and delivered 17 strikes on 31 pitches for 9 batters.
We'd been working on adding some speed to his pitching by changing up some of his mechanics, and I'd asked the coach to hold off pitching him until we could dial it in. Just that morning, everything clicked, he got dialed in over about 10 pitches that we'd allotted for game day practice, and got him tools to get back his accuracy without reverting to old form, while giving him his confidence back.
We'd also been working on his attitude, body language, and composure in the face of setbacks, which was a surprising issue in his first game. On his strikeout, the third out of a 4 run, two out rally, I saw him drop his head and shoulders, then, after a half-second, he made the conscious decision and held his head up, held his shoulders back, and trotted back to the dugout like a boss.

>>>Sarah Jessica Parker is by far the most commonly cited example in discussions of this (often rude) description.
People frequently point to her long, narrow face shape, prominent chin/jawline, and overall equine-like proportions—especially in memes, forums, and lists about distinctive celebrity faces. She’s embraced her unique look and had massive success with it (e.g., Sex and the City), but the “horse face” label has stuck for decades.
She even went along with the joke about her horse face in Ed Wood.

Horses in a Meadow, 1871
Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas
Period: Impressionism
Genre: Animal Painting
It's calm and lovely.
It must be very popular because someone, anyone can own a museum-quality reproduction of Horses in a Meadow by Edgar Degas (1871), exclusively hand-painted in oils on linen canvas by European artists with academic training.
Maybe.
Thank you.

Neither. First was a force. FC, and they rightly targeted lead runner.
Second time he was pulled by 3B coach and went after initial hesitation, spotting the bal lin the outfield, then coach rightly sent him back. Mix up all around, but that's baseball, and it was first game, with everyone feeling each other out. Little didn't want to not go and disappoint new coach, but in that instance, had his better judgment prevailed, he would not have gotten out.

If you're going to make a dumb show about some nerd with a magic companion, it better be a hot broad with a juicy rack and bangin' ass like Barbara Eden ir Elizabeth Montgomery.
If you're making a dumb show woth a horse co-star, bandits should be getting shot twice an episode.
If you're making a dumb show with a rural theme - same deal as before, luscious jugs need to be in the mix. Eva Gabor, Lori Saunders, etc.

I think of it like a hockey fight or a football fight.
You swing some fists, it's in the context of the game. No one's ever going to get arrested for that like they would if it was a bar or a grocery store.
Here's a thought experiment.... Imagine if an MMA fighter went nutso and threw a guy into a full on choke, but in between rounds, or after the fight was over. I don't even know how that would be approached. Would it get treated differently than a sucker punch would in the same situation? Would that lead to an actual arrest and charges being filed? I don't know.

I think it's safe to say at this point that the prevailing theme of american partisan politics recently has been the death of anti-ideology.
The Republicans jettisoned conservatism and replaced it with a jobs program for frauds. They're being handily supplanted by MAGA now.
The Democrats jettisoned liberalism and trade unionism and replaced it with.... Bidenism? I don't know what you'd call it, but it's hollow, self-serving, and only differentiated by the Republican trajectory in its sheer brazen chutzpah. And, lo and behold, they are being supplanted by outright, unabashed Communists.
The people want to stand for something. The people want YOU to stand for something. You have to give them something more than Free Shit and Sound Bites. Even if what you give them is outright Evil, they'll accept that so long as you give them something to sink their teeth into.

Here's a thought experiment.... Imagine if an MMA fighter went nutso and threw a guy into a full on choke, but in between rounds, or after the fight was over. I don't even know how that would be approached. Would it get treated differently than a sucker punch would in the same situation? Would that lead to an actual arrest and charges being filed? I don't know.

If memory serves, and it might not in this case, there was a hockey player who was charged with assault for hitting another player in the face with his stick. I believe the charges were dropped, though, as it happened in Canada and witnesses said that he apologized immediately after.

What Biden said in his final years were catch phrases he had uttered all his like, pablum such as "everybody deserves a fair shake!" Didn't require thought, just a sort of muscle memory - put him on stage at a dais and he spits these phrases automatically.

Looking up the Tomb of Daniel. It's wild.
Apparently they had two communities on either side of the Choaspes river so the poor side, which didn't have the tomb, got a deal to carry Daniel's corpse over to that side every other year to partake in his blessings.
The Seljuks when they conquered Susa decided this was silly and disrespectful, so they put his body on the bridge.
Anyway so the original tomb is who-knows-what-or-where.
AOP's question still stands.

I try to be at least somewhat of a God fearing person, but honestly I can't fathom that God would be a stickler about bombing the crap out of a pile of rocks and lumber that maybe once long ago was a church or a temple, but has been defiled by goatfucking death cultists for centuries since, *especially* if that straining at gnats over purity and protocol means *not* killing the motherfuckers who seek to prey on His flock, and defile His houses of worship towards that very end.
Wherever two or more goatfuckers are gathered against His name, it ain't a church anymore. So let 'er rip. This isn't a Highlander movie.

The Morning Report — 7/ 1 /26
“The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President’s Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens,” Thomas writes:Of course, one does not have to be one of if not America's greatest jurists and legal minds ever to serve in any court to know how completely insane this decision was. All one has to do is know the most rudimentary facts about how and why the 14th Amendment was enacted as well as to be able, and willing, to read and understand plain English What happened yesterday was yet another jackboot to the head of America as founded, as it lays prostrate on the ground after decades of curb-stomping by the Democrats and those whose complicity and inaction allow them to get away with it. And the President nailed it with this observation:
In doing so, the Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support. Because many potential applications of the President’s Order are consistent with the original public meaning of the Citizenship Clause, I respectfully dissent. [Emphasis added]
“I would like to congratulate President Xi, and the Great Country of China, on their massive Birthright Citizenship WIN!” Trump declared via his Truth Social platform. The court’s decision protects, for now, the practice of “birth tourism,” which is used by many wealthy Chinese nationals who travel to the United States to give birth to their children.
And if I still want to engage in delusion, there are a few Pollyannas out there as well:
Vice President JD Vance argued Tuesday that there is a “big silver lining” in the divided Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and tourists.Yeah, we have an opportunity to reverse this? I'm sure future POTUS Titty Caca Ocasio Cortez will get right on that by packing the court with 19 or more Maoists! 250 years was a good run, I guess. If we make it to 500 or even 1,000 we'll probably be where England is, the irony of course is that that is the nation we rebelled against in the first place. So, at what point do we take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?
“I know a lot of conservatives, Laura, certainly the people that I’m talking to, that you’re talking to, are extremely disappointed in this, but I do actually think there’s a really big silver lining here, and that’s the simple fact that a lot of legal experts expected this case to go the wrong direction by seven to two, or even eight to one,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
“The fact that this case was a 5-to-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread,” the vice president argued during his appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
. . . “What I take from [the ruling] is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who’s coming into our country to make sure that they’re not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling,” Vance said, adding, “but it also means that we have to keep fighting … because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision.”
The vice president further argued that the high court’s “major, major mistake” might invite pregnant foreign nationals “to come here quite literally on a vacation, give birth, and then all of a sudden the child and their family have the full benefits of American citizenship.”
“It’s just a preposterous ruling, and the absurdity of that outcome suggests why the Supreme Court should have went the other way.”
Or do we doom ourselvelves forever to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune unto death? Have a good day,

SCOTUS Affirms Birthright Citizenship, Rejects Trump’s Executive Order
- Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett joined the liberals in ruling that children of illegal aliens born on U.S. soil are American citizens under the 14th Amendment.

- ‘The Court has repurposed the Fourteenth Amendment to protect its own set of preferred rights,’ Justice Thomas wrote.
‘Grotesque Results’ Of Birth Tourism Allow Foreign Invaders To Seize Control Of U.S. From The Inside
- “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process,” Trump wrote. “No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!”

- The Supreme Court handed the keys of citizenship to anyone with a plane ticket and a due date.
SCOTUS made US citizenship cheaper than a tourist visa—we Americans know how valuable it really is
- There is more than one way to skin a cat, after all. The justices say that babies born in our country to illegal aliens and birth tourists are U.S. citizens? Fine. What if these grasping, scofflaw women weren’t allowed into the country in the first place?
President Trump Could End Most Birthright Citizenship With This 1 Simple Trick
- It’s counterintuitive, but there’s a cost to solving a political problem: It removes the issue from the public sphere. Because we lost today, the immigration issue is still relevant. And we can still use it to drive voters to the polls.
The Political Upside of Losing the Birthright Citizenship Case - One ruling declared it within the president’s authority to interpret the word “temporary” as the opposite of “permanent” with regard to migrants who have been permitted to live within the U.S. for what is understood to be a finite period. He can order their removal. (Good!) A separate ruling, on the other hand, affirmed automatic American citizenship to babies born to migrants who have illegally entered the country. (Bad!) Yet a third ruling deemed it legal for states to count voter ballots that arrive after Election Day, thus rendering the whole concept of “Election Day” void. (Very bad!)
Supreme Court Makes It Clear. Mass Deportations Are Mandatory To Save America
- “The fact that this case was a 5-to-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread. . . “What I take from [the ruling] is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who’s coming into our country to make sure that they’re not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling,” Vance said, adding, “but it also means that we have to keep fighting … because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision.” (I'm sure future POTUS Titty Caca Cortez will get right on that by packing the court with Maoists! - jjs)

Paul Krugman Suddenly Admits Tariffs May Be ‘Necessary’ After Years Of Globalist Dogma
- The approximately nine percent gap between the weakest and strongest market underscores the localized nature of housing costs. While affordability is a key concern for all Americans, it’s evident that markets vary significantly by region, and thus may reflect differences in political priorities. However, this data also suggests that inflation-adjusted housing wealth has now declined for 11 consecutive months, showing that while some areas are becoming less expensive than others, the affordability of housing remains a nationwide issue.

Even when they had a perfect, sinless Paradise where everything they would ever want was easily at hand, Adam's first impulse was to organize via naming the animals and discover his place, yet Eve's first act was to piss off God just to see what He would do.

I don't like that so many SCOTUS decisions have the effect of creating new law. Above all, the Supreme Court is an appeals court. SCOTUS rulings should be either 'granted' or 'denied', and that's it.

I wish the great Clarence Thomas would not have said “I respectfully dissent” but instead written “I disrespectfully and with derision dissent this abomination of legal trash”…. Or something along those lines with more invective than I can invent now off the top of my head
Forget respectfully…. There can be ZERO respect for a decision that so mangled constitutional concepts that as far as I can tell the majority views US citizens as old-fashioned feudal era subjects (of the king, ironically) rather than human beings with rights granted by God almighty. They really backed themselves into a corner… I wonder if they even realize how abhorrent their “reasoning” is….. no, they knew the result they wanted and generated a claptrap of tangled logic to get there; certainly the constitution didn’t factor into their decision

“American economic policy on the right is now much more Alexander Hamilton than it is Milton Friedman,” Vance said, arguing that President Trump’s political movement has already transformed the GOP’s approach to trade, tariffs, manufacturing, and industrial policy.
Rather than viewing economic growth as an end in itself, Vance argued that government should prioritize policies that strengthen families, communities, and workers.
“The economy is a tool to service the dignity of the human person,” he told Knowles.

But Congress is purely, absolutely, unequivocally, worthlessly, and most importantly, diabolically useless. They aren't going to pass a damned thing relating to this*. Nearly every one of them would get vertigo from being in a sewer; that's how low and scummy they are.

Roberts and ACB are trying to save the Court from the Democrats packing it.
Buying themselves a separate peace by selling America to the wolves.
But make no mistake:
This is an issue Republicans can fix:
Simple majority vote in the House and the Senate to limit citizenship to those legally born here; no judicial review.
And you can immediately tell who is not serious about fixing it by those who propose a Constitutional Amendment--that has to pass super-majorities of Congress, the President and 3/4 of the states.
Hell, I bet it won't even get 30 votes in the Senate, that's how deeply stupid and unserious that proposal is; failure theater.

Aliens are most definitely not Immigrants. It is well to carefully think about the words used to describe.
When leftists are allowed to define the very terms or words used in debate they will tend to have an advantage in manipulating opinions or persuasion.
That is rather the point, appeals to emotion. Euphemisms. “Undocumented Immigrants” makes it sound more benign, no? Like he just misplaced his wallet somewhere.
There is a class of Legal Aliens, too. “Alien” is not a pejorative, it is a technical or legal term of art in the USC Title 18, all that stuff.

We can't even agree on Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time even though nearly everyone hates our current pointless ritual.

In its 2024 report, Tilting the Balance, CIS found that excluding non-citizens reduces that figure to about 308.3 million. Excluding both non-citizens and their minor children reduces it further to about 301.9 million. In other words, nearly 30 million were included in the congressional apportionment.
30000000/800000=37
So illegals are a State bigger than Texas.

It’s counterintuitive, but there’s a cost to solving a political problem: It removes the issue from the public sphere. Because we lost today, the immigration issue is still relevant. And we can still use it to drive voters to the polls.

In going against the grain of my species (heresy!), I will say what I've believed for a long time. Women are simply not up to the task of using logic, not emotion, when it comes to political or constitutional matters. Yes, plenty of men are as guilty, but I do not trust women as a whole and do not vote for women because of it. The only exception I can think of at the moment is Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The rest? Totally unreliable. They think and act like women. And women fall short in my book when their feelz overtake common sense and logic. The exact opposite of what this country needs. I was always skeptical of ACB for that reason. And she's proven my theory too many times.

To throw the citizens a bone SCOTUS granted cert in two rifle ban cases on their last day. They will consolidate Viramontes v. Cook County, a Seventh Circuit (Illinois) case and Grant v. Higgins from the Second Circuit (Connecticut) and review the case next term.
I believe given the 5-4 rulings on Election Day and Birthright citizenship, and the legal arguments made, anyone who treasures their Second Amendment rights should be concerned. I expect more constitutional subversion from ACB and Roberts. I also believe that any favorable ruling would come with enough caveats it will give the defendant states another avenue to undermine our Second Amendment rights.

Good morning Horde thx JJ great report.
Does anyone think that if there is a massive increase in birth tourism, that our elite specifically the GOPe will do anything. We've seen non GOPe types already beginning the constitutional amendment process. I doubt the GOPe will move.

ACB’s social activism should have been a giant red flag for Trump who has for years decried the DEI crowd. You can thank the Federalist Society for both her and Roberts. It’s why Trump has said should he get another pick, they won’t be anywhere near that process.

ACB’s legal reasoning in the Election Day case is perhaps just as bad as anything we have seen from KBJ. The birthright citizenship case doesn’t even try to make a constitutional argument, it’s a rehashing of the courts own precedents. Both are embarrassingly bereft of constitutional premise.

1. Trump made Vance the lead negotiator. He cannot go around publicly stating that the Iranians are faithless and everyone in the country should be annihilated in nuclear fire.
2. Vance's comments on the "silver lining" are almost exactly the same thing that Kurt Schlichter and other have said.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 01, 2026 08:03 AM (ExV1e)
I enjoy Schlicter’s writing, his ideas usually echo my own, and the only fault I find is that he tends to be far too much of an apologist at times. For instance his piece yesterday, which you referenced, said (paraphrased) “this was great news! Look how close we came! All we need is a couple new justices and a better Congress, and I know this will be overturned in 20 or 30 years!”
Kurt, we don’t have 20 or 30 years left to fix this. By then, all the children of the ones being born today will be having children of their own, and the games will be over.

Sure, my point was that Trump is a big poopyhead who should have waited until after the midterms, not caught the Iranian leadership all in one place, and had everyone pissing and moaning about how he attacked before the 2028 election.
Everyone would forget their disappointment with Vance as quickly as they've forgotten their disgust with Rubio but for the fact that he's from Florida and, for some reason, that's an aphrodisiac for commenters here.

The American system is a complex web of graft and blackmail - so I have no doubt that SC justices are being bribed and threatened. Nearly everyone in the ruling class is, every day.
That's just how the machine runs. But Barrett and Roberts did this for the same reason everyone in the ruling class does what they do - class loyalty.
This isn't a decision that required any cajoling. Anchor babies are a key feature of the ruling class war against the subject classes. It would be treason to undermine that. No top man in good standing will go against it.
Same with vote fraud. That's why I never considered the possibility of Congress just shrugging their shoulders and saying "well, I guess the hated subjects win this critical battle. Let's just surrender. We're passing SAVE. We shall put down our tabulators and rig elections no more."
That's not how any of this works.

I could relate to much of what he wrote about: his blue collar upbringing, the hopelessness that befell so many of those he knew, and it's what led him, against all odds, to succeed as he did in a most impressive way.
Only the next couple of years will tell how his political path will unfold, but I do have a few cautions that are starting to bother me. The biggest being Schmucker Carlson. But we'll see...

I respectfully dissent.
As I said, elsewhere, Mr. Thomas I disrespectfully dissent! I don't think they deserve any respect whatsoever for ignoring the clear written text combined with the words of those who wrote and passed the 14th Amendment. I am also astounded the War of 1812 wasn't addressed, it seems. It was directly due to a nation (Britain) asserting that those in America were still subject to British authority because they had been born on what was once British soil.

ACB (female) has been generally awful, but don’t forget, Roberts (male) has been even worse and for a longer period of time…. Both are adoptive parents but that doesn’t mean adoption is bad.
I think these two are a product of higher academia (Notre Dame and Harvard). Both bastions of leftism and hatred of America… and they both apparently have a personality trait of wanting to be liked above all else. Less about gender and more about weakness of core convictions
As much as I hate abortion it’d be better for the country if they’d left Roe alone and got this one right….

JD in particular will calm down the old biddies but I don't think he's going to govern boomer-left.

Yes. Amy Boney Carrot is still fucking us LONG after Sessions is gone. And will continue to screw us for years to come. The damage she can inflict for the next 30 years is incalculable.

No excuse for Barrett. Her inadequacies were quite obvious to anybody who looked. Zero trial experience. No impressive teaching or writing work. Her few public interviews were weak tea. On the other hand, Raymond Kethledge, a finalist for the position twice, has sterling conservative credentials and a top-level intellect (author of a book on leadership). Also a finalist was Barbara Lagoa from Florida, with a far more impressive conservative record than Barrett.

91> American citizenship devalued to simple commodity.
What is the draw to serve in the military now?
An illegal alien or Chinese tourist scores full access rights to America's dwindling bounty then moments later joins the Grievance Army screaming "WE BUILT THIS PLACE" having only the tick/tock of a clock's time here so that they can claim more of the public treasury for themselves.
Yet Heritage Americans are expected to fight and die to please the foreign policy ambitions and MIC money/influence pipeline in the name of "National Security" when such security is just open borders, open treasury, open colonization and open auctioning of the next grifting politician.

Add Roberts to the list, and the 3 lockstep idiotic Leftist Justices. Maybe just the unlearned one first.
If we had a reliable Senate, we could pack the Court with Thomas-like clones. And there would be much rejoicing.

Sessions was a weird thing.
What I noticed, one, he was a long time conservative firebrand. He always sounded good. And notably he was among the first if not the very first to voice his support for then potential candidate Donald J. Trump. Remember that?
I thought he was gonna kick ass and take names. Finally. Get an AG with some cajones. Can’t hardly throw a rock in D.C. without hitting somebody who belongs in prison.
And then … he recused himself. Is he even still alive??

Everyone would forget their disappointment with Vance as quickly as they've forgotten their disgust with Rubio but for the fact that he's from Florida and, for some reason, that's an aphrodisiac for commenters here.

I believe everyone knows that Vance is just doing what he’s told to do, and has little choice in the matter. But it’s easier to openly criticize him than to criticize the one giving the orders.
Be that as it may, it’s quite obvious that the MOU
talks Vance was heading have already collapsed completely, and no more are scheduled. Trump wants a nice quiet July 4th celebration with no distractions; but remember how Muslims love to launch big attacks on their enemies holidays? (Like October 7)
Right now the US is tossing Iran a nice, slow pitch right across the middle of the plate. They see it, even if we don’t.

Amy was never, ever going to vote for anything that would hurt (even slightly, emotionally) her children.
that's just baked in the cake.
to some degree, the Roe decision led us to this. yesterday I was contemplating the large number of my peers (and young boomers) who chose foreign adoption. I was almost one of them, but I'm too stubborn to give up even after years of IF treatment.
and many would have adopted domestically but it was basically impossible. of say 20 families I know, ONE adopted domestically and it took them years. they tried to adopt their daughter's sibling later, and it never went through
partly this is due to the Roe decision. families with primary or secondary IF, or those who "didn't want to burden the planet with more normal babies" or something - they basically had to adopt internationally.
China was maybe the best option, but very hard and very pricy. Anyway. ACB went with Haiti, likely via the Church. The Roberts' did a whole thing for Mrs Roberts to sneak some Irish children out via South American (shady) because she was Irish American.
For those of us paying out the nose for IF treatments, and for those who payed out the nose for adoptions, tough.

Young women in modern America are told by the FNM that fertility isn't an issue and they can have kids easily until 40 at least.
I saw a Whatever podcast where one guest presented the numbers on fertility decline - starting at 28 for most women - and none of the female guests would believe it. It turned out some 40 year old female celeb had just had a healthy child and so they all argued that meant they could as well.

If we lose the Democrat party will pack the court with communists.
The 3 Democrat justices we have will be considered too right wing compared to what the left is going to put forward.

What can one do besides that?
We've seen what happens when we take to the streets, infiltration, subjugation and imprisonment on faggot ass shit like, parading.
When things eventually break, they will break bad and the people that have foisted these grotesqueries on us will rue the day.

177> Voting and birth right citizenship
How does that work with Chinese birth tourism?
So the anchor baby returns to China and after 18 years states like Colorado will let the new voter participate in elections.
In which district? And where do the jury duty summons originate and get sent?
I submit that Chinese birth tourists have superior rights to Heritage US citizens. First, they don't have to pay US income taxes, they get to enjoy full voting rights with absolutely none of the duties, and at any time make claims to whatever residual benefits that will remain once the world has plundered us into penury.

You're not wrong but the "you HAVE to vote for people you think will betray you to stop the communists" only seems to work one way.
Then as soon as someone came along who was actually on our side, the "thoughtful Republicans" in the party said outright: "nope time to vote for communists".
Should give anybody pause. And should make the argument moot. Because an argument that only works one way is no argument at all.

While I have reservations about DeSantis - stemming from the fact that he's never had a job outside of government and has broken his word in the past - I would support him in a general election but not in the primary. Of course, I don't think he'd ever get to the general election because he has no personality and, sadly, that matters more than it should.

If you're a U.S. citizen and you're living abroad, you have to file taxes on your income. Doesn't matter where it's from. And if you want exclusions or credits, you still have to file. (This is the #1 reason why departing Americans renounce their citizenship.)
The IRS should be mining foreign countries looking for "anchor babies" and other citizens who aren't filing. Instead of obsessing about whether your grandma reported her Etsy knitting earnings, they should be focused on this.
And then you can give them a choice: renounce your citizenship or pay back taxes on everything you owed, including penalties.

Congress is lazy and corrupt. In particular, the senate. They have been aloof in their duties, snobbish in their attitudes and indolent in their work ethic. That apathy and sloth has cost us dearly, as senators have valued their own arrogant, cavalier pronouncements over the work they should be doing for the people. All of our problems and failures are largely based on their inability to act and function on behalf of the republic instead of themselves.
They need a good throat punch. All of them.

"Leopards eating faces" is a popular political and social metaphor used to describe people who vote for or support harmful, oppressive policies, but then act completely shocked and regretful when those same policies negatively affect them personally.

Europe is suffering through its worst heat wave in recorded history.
This week, 3 dozen U.S. states will likely see record-breaking temperatures.
No, Mr. Trump. Climate change is not a “hoax.”
We must stop fossil fuel industry greed and save the planet.

J.J. ended his editorial with this:
So, at what point do we take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?
Or do we doom ourselves forever to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune unto death?
------
I think we've got two years to figure that out. There's no guarantee Vance or Rubio or whomever will win in '28. Or that they're prepared to face it rather than let it happen. With the nominal left reeling a bit right now I'd say some soul searching might be necessary soon.

This is the kind of thinking that causes you to win and crush the opposition.
Stop whining about a Supreme Court intent on limiting and undermining the Bill of Rights. Accept that’s what they do and operate with that thinking.
I see they accepted cert on the rifle ban cases. We should all be concerned given the past months ruling. But we should get ahead of that, because the liberals and their Marxist foot soldiers already have.
It’s up to us to save our democratic republic, not a bunch of Supreme Court wieners and social justice hacks. We need to beat them at their own game and use it like a club. Repeatedly.

The only thing we all agree on that we are all correct about. The principal problem is there has long been no way to vote FOR your own interests. Even the hardest core commie is voting against their own interests by voting for hardcore communists because they are voting for people that want to get rich and kill you.
Then again so is everyone else....

In a theoretical sense sure, the economy suffers overall from free shit.
But in a practical immediate sense they are voting for their interests - they want free shit and the Dem they vote for gives it to them

Above, "School choice is crucial to the American Dream—we need a new birth of freedom."
What, to the Black Student, is the Fourth of July?
Here in Pennsylvania we have something known as PSEA-PACE. It supports friends of education in state and local elections.
It appears that during recent campaign finance cycles, direct political donations from PSEA-PACE to local state representatives included $74,000 in active campaign receipts to secure a reliable, pro-public union vote in the core of one township. In the same township, but another district thereof, the state representative's campaign committee cleared over $1.4 million in total donation with PSEA & aligned statewide public labor coalitions acting as dominant institutional anchors.
My state representative, sitting at the center of two school district boundary lines, is a primary recipient of PSEA endorsement & direct PAC capital, keeping his legislative record tightly aligned with the union's opposition to corporate tax credits or school voucher programs.
Note: Every one of the three noted above are "Democrats."

Mostly importantly, Black reps. take just like the White reps & White kids are screwed just like the Black kids in many school districts where the taxes are highest in the state.
Check your own state. If reliably Blue, and you're not wealthy or "friends" of teachers' union affiliated, your area is likely screwed, too, when it comes to school choice and/or the opportunity to have kids receive equal opportunity in education.
Speaking of unions -
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national and local staff are unionized with the Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild. They've been since 2017!
The Metro DC DSA covers Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, and several Maryland counties, with over 3,400 local members. The primary Maryland branches actively fight for rent control, tenant organizing, tax justice, progressive governance, yada yada.
It works. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is a major U.S. labor union that has increasingly aligned itself with progressive politics, democratic socialism, and anti-corporate campaigns. Its members actively participate in left-leaning movements and socialist coalitions.
Bernie's people. ✊🏻

The writer of "What the American Right Can Learn from France" explains the current state of the Disney phenomenon but does not acknowledge Walt Disney's original vision. Early Disney celebrated our unique American history and the things that made our country great. You can see Walt's love and optimism in the things he created. It wasn't until after his death that Disney became all about the licensed characters.

“Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority in striking down President Trump’s executive order but wrote separately in partial dissent. He concluded the order conflicted with existing federal law, not that it was unconstitutional. In his opinion, he also outlined a framework for addressing concerns surrounding birthright citizenship through legislation, making clear that any path to lasting change would likely require an act of Congress.”

- South Korea's national and regional governments and major industrial groups have jointly committed to $1 trillion in investment to expand production of chips and bots. (Ars Technica)
$585 billion to increase chip production, with a particular focus on doubling memory production within five years.
$357 billion to construct new datacenters to, uh, use up all that extra memory.
And still more billions to expand production of robots and build 8 gigawatts of new generating capacity to power it all.
Tech News
- Speaking of which, Henrico County in Virginia is asking schools to open the blinds and turn off the lights to save electricity. (404 Media) (archive site)
Henrico County has 37 datacenters and is constructing 17 more right now.
- Meta - which is to say Facebook - is reusing its DDR4 memory in DDR5 servers. (Tom's Hardware)
That doesn't work, so what they've done is create a custom CXL-to-DDR4 adapter chip, which allows the servers to access memory over PCIe.
- G Skill's new ultra low latency 32GB memory kits cost just $1100. (Tom's Hardware)
Thanks, but no.
- For those experiencing difficulties with the latest iteration of Microsoft Notepad, there is a solution. (GitHub)
Though you will need to assemble it yourself.
It should come to about 2686 bytes and has full feature compatibility with classic Notepad.
- The Redmagic Astra 2 is a large small tablet with a 2400x1504 185Hz OLED display. (Liliputing)
With its 9" screen it's really pushing the boundaries of a small tablet, but it's only about 20% heavier than the 7" Nexus 7.
It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and has up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Pricing in China starts at $780 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and goes up from there.
The previous model - no longer available - started at $549, so it's gotten a lot more expensive.
- The GPD Win Max 3 is a mini-laptop with, curiously enough, a 9" 2400x1504 OLED display. (Liliputing)
With a 165Hz refresh so it's the display used in the previous Redmagic Astra tablet.
Apart from that, it has up to a Ryzen 395 processor with 128GB of RAM, and M.2 2280 and 2230 slots for storage.
And a detachable 97Wh battery, which is a lot given its size.

And I had such a nice experience at the senior car center yesterday I had a Bible study on Ephesians ( which I enjoyed ) and then the Activities Director had invited me and several volunteers who do all kinds of programs there to a late luncheon, I finished up about half an hour
Too early so I walked around the building which is nicely landscaped As I turned a corner in the back I saw two spotted fawns eating grass. When the saw me they took off running in various directions. They are so funny -The way they dash off and jump. And it was very kind of the Activities Director to give us a luncheon and little gift bags as well

Saudi Arabia first blocked U.S. use of its bases and airspace for Project Freedom, Trump's operation to keep the waterway open, halting the mission. The White House threatened to withhold missile-defense interceptors until Riyadh reversed course. It did. The rift has strained ties, with Washington now weighing a reduced military footprint in the kingdom in favor of Israel and Jordan.

Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers! It's Woden's Day, the start of a new month, and the midpoint of the year, all in one swell foop!
Rain chances are higher today, and I need to go shopping for new khakis. The pair I've been wearing at home for some years, and patched during the Sniffle Scare, have finally reached the end of their useful life. Banana Republic and the Gap each have factory stores in the same shopping center with a J. Crew and an Old Navy. Convenient, if annoying that they're not closer to me.
With any luck I'll find what I need in the first store.
("Old Navy"? Hmph. Just try buying an vintage bridge coat or pea jacket there.)

UK Prime Minister details (BBC):
A contest for a new leader of the Labour party is expected to begin next month. [July]
The winner will then become the next prime minister because the Labour Party is the biggest political party in parliament.
Mr Starmer said he will ask the Labour Party's National Executive Committee that nominations for the party's new leader open on 9 July.
He said this will be completed before the summer break, which is a week later, on 16 July.
In the case of a leadership contest, this will mean that a new leader would be in place by the time parliament returns from its summer break on 1 September.

Last night we watched the 1944 classic Mr. Skeffington with Bette Davis and Claude Rains. Wit and style in black-and-white, a tremendous performance from Bette as she ages from age 25 to 50, Claude's usual sharp delivery, and a strong supporting cast. Marjorie Riordan plays Bette's adult daughter -- and she looked so much like Debra Winger would look forty years later that I was positive they were related. Alas, IMDb says no.
The actor who embodied "Teddy," the Brewster brother who is "building the Panama Canal" in his basement, in Arsenic and Old Lace that same year turns in an effective performance too.

In fact I picked up several classics from my local library. All Through the Night w/ Bogart (apparently a "gangsters vs. Gestapo" story with some welcome humor) from '42, and two Cary Grant vehicles on the same disc, My Favorite Wife and Night and Day.
I tried to find something more recent among their DVDs that appealed to me. I really did. But so much of it looked desperately grim, or silly.

"My Favorite Wife" is one of my favorites. Cary Grant and Irene Dunn were a good team on screen. They're also funny in "The Awful Truth".

Morning peeps. Finished mowing the yard yesterday. The "heat index" was 117F. We had several days of rain late last week and into Saturday... almost 7 inches. The ground is saturated, causing morning fog and high humidity during the day. However, the pool's nice.
Pity those Euro-wienies. Do they even have pools?

MP 4, thank you. I was gifted a complation of "Thin Man" movies and it is blu ray so I'm looking for the cheapest possible player. I have a large DVD selection and this is the only blu ray.

"Speaking of which, Henrico County in Virginia is asking schools to open the blinds and turn off the lights to save electricity. (404 Media) (archive site)
Henrico County has 37 datacenters and is constructing 17 more right now."
- - - - - - - -
I've a suspicion that the electricity usage is more leaning towards HVAC - cooling down the schools. And letting the sunlight in, with all its waves of radation, is the #1 cause of heat generation in the schools (and the world, for that matter).
Especially if, being good little serfs, they moved to CFLs, then to LED lighting, which is supposed to use less energy. On the plus side, LEDs do generate less heat.

It is summer. Could have been worse this year, but the Sun is sliding down from it's cyclical solar maximum.

That "TinyRetroPad" app is interesting as a concept - try to shrink the size while still being a full-fledged Windows app. But apparently it uses some sort of compression software, "Crinkler" (also a project on GitHub), to obtain that shrunken size in the EXE file. And there's warnings that Windows Defender complains about both; naturally, since compression is a type of obfuscation that malware usually does (the competent ones, anyways).
I'm also reminded of a recent surge in web malware from "AdShield". It tries to get around various adware blocks, AND the JavaScript that invokes it is a mess of obsfucated code that tries to add together strings of unicode values and then EXECs them. Just like malware. If you happen to have Dev Tools open to the Networking tab, it goes crazy sending messages to "HTML-LOAD" and similar servers, like it was the rest of the world pouring over the US borders during the Biden Empire.

Had trouble with a balky mouse freezing for no reason. It was ONN. Thought the HD was too full or RAM was high use. Nope. Replaced ONN mouse with Logitech: no problems since. Not gonna buy ONN stuff again.

For the 2000 fireworks, The scaffolding on the Washington Monument was a staging area for fireworks.
Bill Clinton was President for the Party December 31st 2000 in the US Mall. Any astronomer knows this party was a year early.
6 Jumbotron were installed down the Reflecting Pool. I was with my abundantly-provided black girlfriend at the end of the Reflecting Pool. Secret Service screening broke down by that time.
President Clinton was late. He had with him Sophia Loren and Lix Taylor, both without a lot of torso coverage on a cool night. He gave a forgettable speech.
The fireworks went off close to me on the Washington Monument repair scaffolding. For only 20 minutes.
Then the official party left, and there were more fireworks from a badge on the Potomac.

How do I access CA? How do I get the records displayed? Going through STN? Elon Musk couldn't finance that.
No, it's a long, long plodding search with Google Scholar and the databases from the publishers. I've gotten the citations from ACS, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer and a couple of others. The Royal Society of Chemistry is the last one I'm going to go through.
Then, whenever that's all done, I have to organize them all by keywords, which will have to be generated. And after that, I actually have to get them to read them. And there's going to be close to 8500 of them.
And that's just the journal articles. There's also patents, though that will be a one-day search. Even limiting them to US, EP and PCT, there will be an equivalent number. I feel like Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion.

Today got off to a rousing start. I got an email from my discount cellular carrier giving me 24 hours notice that one of my services was being discontinued, its number will be lost, and by the way they are hoping to go into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, so my other service is imperiled.
Fortunately, the dead service only goes to my backup phone, so I have a bit of breathing room to get my main number transferred.
This time, I'm making sure I have two different carriers, so if one goes belly up I'll have a backup on hand.

There's some time between now and November. I agree that Paxton can run this idjit's numbers down just by telling Tejanos that "Talarico" is not in fact his birth name, and that the Gospel of Thomas is not in fact in the New Testament.
Women are going to be a harder sell, but mothers of daughters might appreciate his stance on trannies.

No, none of us are ever going to fight for it.
Those farmers two and a half centuries fought for it.
All we do is talk and vote, and sit on juries to give the system a veneer of legitimacy. And pay taxes because we've decided that's somehow virtuous. And submit to the government's demands (see covid) because it doesn't occur to most of us not to mindlessly obey. We suppress men so that idiot women can pretend to be our equals, and celebrate sodomites.
We don't value independence. Most of "our" corporations and public servants will happily enforce European speech codes. And we're addicted to cheap Chinese shit. And for some reason even our side's leaders want greater entanglement with the Chicoms.
This generation simply isn't worthy of the name "American."

Talarico & Platner were both leading a week or so ago. Now they're tied.
I think the open seat in NC is gone, although James Madison (or whig?) disagree.
If Mitch croaks, we'll have to worry about a newly appointed DEM incumbent in KY.
OH is shaky too. But Ossoff might lose in GA.
Coming in on a wing and a prayer.
I'm not receptive to the argument that it doesn't make any difference, btw.

That "Roberts Rule" is interesting, but it won't prevent any foreign broad from getting knocked up *after* she gets here, and decides to stay. Nice try, though.
Just close the borders already. No more "refugee" no more "tps" no more H1b, no more...!

Theses been no better example of how useless and worthless polling has become everywhere - and especially in Texas - than the runoff race between Cornyn and Paxton . EVERY poll published said it was “too close to call”, although by the last days , some admitted that Paxton had a slight lead.
In fact, Paxton won by a 2-1 margin, one of the biggest wipeouts seen in a supposedly close race.
And every pollster missed it. It’s not just that they didn’t want it to be true; the “science” of polling has been hopelessly broken by cell phones and caller ID, among other things, and pollsters mostly just make up numbers that the people paying them want to hear.

I wonder, though, when we turn like the Liberal Idiots into the idea that "believing hard enough is enough to overcome reality."
We need to stop that thinking, because it's not true in the slightest. It's what keeps Liberals going to the polls and subscribing to the New York Times, and until John Roberts, it's what kept us focused on what was right there in front of us.

Spent another fruitful day coding, finished a custom password vault implementation using Unix Pass and gpg keys and cobbled together several admin cheatsheets and dropped on the home server.
The way it's set up, if you drop an html into the watch folder, it will auto-generate a link/card on the cheatsheet page based on the naming and create search tags.
So if you drop the file:
React -- Guide -- Reference -- React-How-To.html
It creates a Card called React, two search tags: Guide and Reference and the name of the file: React-How-To
Basically I've been non-stop coding fro the last 8 months various and sundry projects.
The is all in addition to rolling out MVP1.5 of the ERP.

Any attempt to include pregnancy screening in consular matters will almost certainly be blocked by (absurd, lawless) judicial action. By the time the executive is finished indulging this idiotic bad faith sabotage - and WINS! a decision - it may well be time for the roulette wheel to be spun again, with a 50/50 chance of a Dem prez, which obviously will mean instant and complete dismantling of every aspect of border security and immigration enforcement.
But hey, DOJ is talking real tough, Homan-tough, about prosecuting those "exploiting" the loophole (loophole? SCOTUS just, and not for the first time, just issued a baseless lawless Revolutionary Command Council* decree of immense destructive potential, the not only legislated, they repealed a constitutional amendment and replaced it with a retarded disastrous fake substitute).
Hilarious, in a dark way. Not to be outdone, some including Sen. Schmitt are talking about a constitutional amendment (!) as a "fix". Other Legal Cult types are musing about the "opening" Kavanaugh left, for legislative fixes. Such "fixes" have as much chance of happening as a repeal of O-care.

- How many foreigners were squatting in our country then?
- How many pride parades with fags pissing on one another in public were there in 1979?

All three are suggesting my idea from much earlier today that when applications are made for a VISA or Residency to the US, the Consolate medical examination should incude a pregnancy test...and admission into the US is expressly denied to pregnant applicants.
LOL...The Conservative Treehouse wants to call it the "Roberts Rule."
Posted by: Orson at June 30, 2026 10:33 PM (dIske)
Years ago, that was the case. Any communicable disease mean visas could not be issued. I am not sure when it changed, but I still followed those regulations in the late 80's early 90's. My guess is the latter clinton years.

My prediction is more recent, that the NYT will have a glowing profile of John Roberts, "The Man Who Stood firm against tyranny."
It will start by noting that he had a dodgy origin--appointed by W after all--but grew to recognize the creeping tyranny ("America is the best!") that threatened this nation.
Real history will note him as the greatest traitor in American history.

Y’all, if you are interested in a decent take on celebrating our Country’s birthday, starting at the 1.51 mark to about 4.30, this is how my pastor started the service Sunday. You can skip the first part where he is explaining a giving platform migration, that won’t matter to anyone. And after that is the actual sermon, which also may not be interesting to everyone.

Oh, the Revolutionary Command Council was Saddam's pro forma "consultative" authority. Spoiler: there weren't many votes whose outcome was uncertain.
SCOTUS now issues decrees, not anything resembling a serious ruling (though, for the 1,000th time, the ridiculous conceit that courts should be anything more than glorified clerks should always be rejected - contemptuously) based on a straight reading of the law or constitution.
Not sure I can bear to read all of it, but seems they've reached new lows now. Wasn't Ginsberg the idiot who burbled about "learning" from other constitutions (like that of the model state of South Africa!). And now we have these 5 cretins citing concepts from extinct monarchies to invert the plain meaning (zero doubt about the actual purpose) of an amendment.

It’s not “magic dirt”. More like they declared a legal definition of “subject to the jurisdiction of.”
It now means “any sentient being located inside US boundaries, except for space aliens in UFO’s and Bigfoot.”
But if they appeal, Roberts will probably make them citizens too, with full voting rights.

There is a genuine Norseman Viking Raider throwback on the Norwegian footyball team.
Caught a bit of today's game while at Cardiac Rehab. The game was played in Dallas, TX. In the center of the Norwegian fan section was a guy dressed in full Elmer Fudd Viking regalia - including his magic helmet. A black guy, having the time of his life.
I expected to see cowboy hats with Viking horns.

I gotta say, I liked the scene in For Your Eyes Only where Bond is scaling the cliffs to that monastery. They actually took the time to demonstrate him tying a Prusik knot with his boot lace to finish the ascent. That kind of attention to detail wasn't common in those movies.

All sports fights are idiotic. But they appeal to a large part of the bell curve. The part that weighs us down generally.
There's always boxing, and now all the new more barbaric fighting sports, for the Coliseum mob.
Sat with an NHL owner at a game in the late 80s, asked him about the ban-fighting situation. Amazingly, given his team's "legacy" and nickname, he was in favor, but he said only a handful of other owners had agreed. Gretzky and a few other players had pushed it, IIRC.
An AHL player I dined with after a game in which he was involved in a brief altercation said they were laughing. It was kind of a pro forma "fight" as one goalies had been accidentally bumped during a commercial break, so both sides felt "obligated" to do the kabuki.
Of course without fights hockey can't exist, well, except for the 95% of hockey in which fights are just as banned as in tennis or golf.

I was thinking today about how I first thought about this citizenship issue when I started looking at it, about 15 to 20 years ago. A very brief look led me to conclude “well the language in the 14th is clear, and SCOTUS says Wong Kim Ark is controlling, so you’re gonna have to do a constitutional amendment to change anything.”
But over time I came to realize that there were much better, more nuanced arguments, and lots of precedent for dealing with the issue in more manageable ways, and so my thoughts changed.
But now here comes Roberts, today, saying “well the language in the 14th is clear, and SCOTUS says Wong Kim Ark is controlling, so you’re gonna have to do a constitutional amendment to change anything.”
Congratulations on your 5 minute analysis, genius.

From last thread, from Tater:
>> and also delves into some of the aspects of orbital mechanics. I knew it was complicated, but I didn’t realize the twists involved with rendezvous.
There are literal twists involved. I recalled some of the complexity last night after Rodrigo posted that cool ISS docking simulator thing.
They originally misunderestimated just how complex and tricky this would be. That is, final proximity operations. Chasing a spacecraft already in orbit, that is launching another spacecraft and matching course and speed, they knew that was complex.
But once you got within a few hundred feet, they didn't think it would be that bad. And that was due to just naively applying the Equivalence Principle. The Erf's tidal field is very small, literally on the order of micro-g's. So they assumed it would be close to 3D inertial space for two close-by objects free-falling in orbit together.
The trouble is while that is true, it's the time scale involved. In LEO, you're whipping around around once per 90 minutes give or take, and that means that tidal field is also rotating. That makes all the difference.

Eh, the early 70s were the opening shots of serious national decline. The “oil shocks” coupled with dollar devaluation. Oil hovered around $2 a barrel for about 20 years. The Embargo. OPEC. It doesn’t sound much like now, but it quickly doubled, tripled, and settled at $8 a barrel.
This wiped out all sorts of things we took for granted. The Milkman and full service gasoline stations. My parents were by no means poor, but the single breadwinner went bye-bye. Generic brands. Powdered Milk instead of fresh. Dairy butter a distant memory. Beef and pork did a moonshot, etc. Workers wages have been stagnant since then. 1974. That’s insane.
By 1980 the US dollar was in trouble. The Fed chief Paul Volcker, raised interest rates overnight to almost 20%, including the overnight rate in fact. That’s the interest rates banks charge each other.
This is not possible today. Not even close. Monetary inflation steals your money. Even at the “targeted” 2 or 3 percent rate of inflation, your savings and investments are cut in half every 20 years. Complete bullshit.

Right, Pubs - if you’re in orbit with the pointy end going forward, at some … point, you’ll be pointing straight down, and eventually, going “backwards”, and around and around it goes.
A big part of the expense were the tracking stations and comms. They had all these factors to think about. We’re gonna launch from the Cape at a certain degree bearing, and we want to more or less fly over “friendly” countries in case of trouble.
Certain countries might be ideally located for a tracking station, but they are unstable regimes. John Llewellyn was a former combat Marine who was in Mission Control sent to some remote site that was “experiencing unrest” and roadblocks and twitchy guards with guns and that kind of crap. Gene Kranz got a cryptic teletype from him once that took a while to figure out what he meant.
“We’ve got them where we want them” meaning they were surrounded, but they weren’t leaving their post. LOL

Velma, and that is a hill I will die on. You just know she had it going on inside that baggy sweater. Plus smart chicks are always way more inventive in the sack.
I've noticed that the modern-day live-action Scooby Doo movies and such always make Velma hawt. They know it too.

197 Wretchard (Richard Fernandez) just put a post on X that tickled me. He was reacting to a protest by Zulus in South Africa, against poorer immigrants coming into their areas. Thousands protesting in traditional Zulu attire, singing and chanting together.
Wretchard’s observation: “Well, they've got a very good bass section, mind, but no top tenors that's for sure.”

Do they even allow this movie to be shown in the UK anymore?

Tananarive tracking station was a big one during the Apollo days. I remember that because of the name. They moved there in 1964 from some other African site due to political unrest, and I think they closed Tananarive in '75 when the govt. became hostile.

I'll butt in here and say that depression is no joke. If it was a joke it would be "funpression" or "happy happy joy time".
On the other hand, if my case of the sads causes me not to be able to do my job, I'd have to request a sabbatical and not get paid for the work I wasn't doing. I'd think.

True, actual depression is chemical, not a case of the sads. It is treatable, usually, but not always, with medication. I know that medication is prescribed like candy, but for those who truly need it, it is a Godsend, as is the time away from stress that is required for recovery.
The fact that Muffy and Buffy claim they are depressed and take a bunch of SRIs doesn't negate that fact that some of us need that treatment to live.

Better Than Ezra - Good (Official Video)
https://youtu.be/PFaQ_gPOTks
However! They're still recording and performing, just with a different drummer and an added keyboardist/lead guitarist. So, here's a poppy (and peppy) track off their latest album, Super Magick (2024):

I have the opposite situation with the rescue dog we got last fall. She has never, as in never, taken a dump while being walked. I'm not complaining, since I don't particularly enjoy picking up dog crap in a little bag and carrying it home, but it seems weird after all the other dogs we've had.

My LR has an annoying "Google tv" system kicked on a Sony and tells me "World Cup - the world is watching". Actually no. Can almost guarantee very little of "the world" here in America has any idea what is or has been going on with the soccer games let alone watching it. Normally a popular sport is popular on its own - it doesn't require telling you "everyone is watching".

Foreign nationals can serve in the US military (believe it's still one way to accelerated citizenship), but obviously can't be drafted.
And with this absurd "ruling" that completely inverts the uncontested intent, context, purpose, AND language of the 14th, remember anything/anyone born inside US territory is automatically a citizen. Don't believe such citizens can be denaturalized or deported (how would that be possible? deported to where?), as naturalized citizens can be. Unless there has been a massive change in our laws that I've missed.
This atrocity has 2 enormous practical consequences only one of which seems to be recognized. First it codifies and greatly increases the perverse incentive to enter the US illegally (or any way possible). Second it represents a new maximum in judicial lawlessness and usurpation. There was no ambiguity in the 14th, its language and history are simple and uncontestable. It was specifically a remedy for the unique situation of former slaves in the US. Period. That it was such was redundantly confirmed by decades later when equivalent legislation for Native Americans, also obviously people in a unique situation, was passed.

I read a short essay today by Kurt Schlicter.
I was “ heartened” by what he presented.
We moved the ball down the field. We have a chance to score if the Supreme Court draft goes our way with the next opportunity.
Don’t despair. There’s still time on the clock.

Good night folks. Been drinking.
I think what we all want is to matter to someone. Not in the sense that parents matter to children, because children could not survive otherwise.
I mean that someone choose that someone else matters to them, not because of necessity, but because of choice.
To put it dumber, "I want to matter to someone because that someone decided I mattered to them, not because of necessity, but because they looked at me and said 'You matter to me.'"
Yeah I'm a dumbhead.

Oh, yes. Steve Graham, IIRC. For a while he called his blog "The Carnival of Hate" but he toned down the title, as people looked askance at it.
Last I saw, he had contracted a terrible case of Religion, and was bouncing between churches. I hope he is okay.

Illegal aliens were subject to the Draft and required to register prior to this latest fairy tale ruling.
In fact, all Aliens & Foreign nationals have been required to register since about 1940, with their updated address. The F.B.I. had a fairly large database of named individuals who would be rounded up and detained during a declared national emergency.
During the war foreign nationals or “enemy” aliens could not be in possession of cameras, binoculars or shortwave radios. Enrico Fermi was not allowed to fly on aircraft because - before he was naturalized - Italy was a belligerent. Later, the government didn’t want to let him fly simply because he was so important to the war effort.
The government can make things happen (or not happen) when it wants to do so. If your country is invaded by millions of illegal aliens, guess what. Someone wants it that way.

Jesus. A friend just texted me. 2 of his friends got wiped out on the motorcycles (harleys) over the weekend. Fucking car pulled out in front of them. One died at the scene, the other lost a limb and is hanging on by a thread. He has a 7 year old daughter. Drivers like that need an instant bullet in the head.

Last thread, I was going on about this being the anniversary of the Tunguska event, early morning June 30th, 1908. The object was likely a big fragment from the Taurid meteor stream, which is debris from Comet Encke. The stream's orbit crosses the earth right at this time, and the angle comes in from the sun. The morning side of earth is leading in the orbit, and that's the side it comes in on. Siberia was in the bullseye by luck of the rotational draw.
Now, there is a tie-in with the Younger Dryas Impact theory, too. Comet Encke could well be a chunk of a much larger comet that broke up ages ago, and on a faithful day 12,800 years ago, the Earth plowed right into that.
Some of the YD Impact guys joke that the date was June 30, 10,800 BC.

Heh, Little Green Footballs. Never posted there but used to frequent the site, especially during the Dan Rather/GWB bs. Watching Charles Johnson slowly descend into madness was interesting. I suspect he was always like that but 9/11 brought about a certain amount of clarity that even got through to him. Didn't last long, of course, and he reverted back to his norm, which was drooling, halfwit, commie.

I didn't know these guys. I'm trying to piece together how that could happen. You always watch the side streets. If you see a car bet on them pulling out in front of you. Not only do they pull out, but they stop dead like a deer in the headlights and block your path. They also should have been riding staggered. The fact that they both got whacked tells me they weren't. I don't want to judge, but my gut tells me this might..might have been avoided. Not that it was their fault, but you need to ride like every car out there is trying to hit you, because they are. If you let your guard down you're fucked.

I was trying to find an animation of what happens to a little spherical cloud of test particles dropped into a circular orbit. That shows how object initially close together drift in a complex ways. I've seen it before, but couldn't easily find a good one. Anyway, that little ball of particles will get stretched into a long skinny banana like shape all along the orbital path, and it will be oscillating and undulating as it does so.
That's a perfect way to see how a comet forms a long debris trail that becomes a meteor stream as it goes around the sun.

Publius, there is some really cool imagery of the Earth. As you know, it isn’t round. More like an oblate spheroid.
The underlying actual imagery or shape of the earth minus the ocean is pretty interesting. It looks like something whacked the Earth and took a huge chunk out. Which may be … wait for it.

Bers, I admit to being *one of those car-driving asshoes*.
Was at an intersection, almost turned left in front of an oncoming bike... caught myself, but it could've been ugly. And it was after I'd been through the required classes to get my own motorcycle endorsement!
Afterward, I was incredulous at my near-mistake. I SAW the bike approaching, but it just didn't register as *a vehicle that I should yield to* even though the rider had right-of-way.
Very sobering.

Heading north to Tacoma tomorrow after work for Fourth of July. I want to bring a beef brisket, but I can't smoke it there, so I'm going to start it tonight around midnight. Saturday I'll heat it up and try to put a crust on it. I think I'll sleep downstairs so I can hear the temperature alarm if anything goes wrong. I've got a fire going. It's cold here!
Seems like a good time to test out the Strawberry Basil Smash recipe I'm bringing (found at https://tinyurl.com/2akndn7x):
- 2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce orgeat
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3-5 fresh basil leaves
- 3ish strawberries
- generous barspoon of strawberry jam
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters
Muddle, shake with ice, strain, pour.
It's good! Might need another test though.

In 13 years of playing organized hockey, The Kid only got in one fight, in Langford, up on Vancouver Island. The official "shake off of the gloves" and everything. He got the best of it, and as soon as the linesmen grabbed them he went turtle, so the other kid got in nothing. The ref could have called a major and game for fighting which was an automatic two game suspension, but I think he was amused. Matching double minors for roughing.

Even in a car, it pisses me off the way people drive balls to the walls up to a stop sign and brake at the last minute. I “know” they are going to stop, but I really don’t.

Here is the "shape of the earth" in a gravitational sense. This is the geoid, the gravitational equipotential surface (which defines sea level globally) of the earth.
This is not the topographic shape, it's important to note. The earth's gravity vector is normal to that surface at any point. This is the result of high precision satellite gravimetry, mapping the earth's gravitational field to high precision:
https://t.ly/ysHT4
That's also exaggerated to let you see the deviation from spherical easily. The height parameter at the top left controls that.

Northern Idaho, two weeks ago:
A passing attempt in a marked no-passing zone on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia ended in a crash that killed three motorcyclists Tuesday afternoon, according to Idaho State Police.
ISP said troopers are investigating the three-fatality collision, which happened at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 16, 2026, near milepost 113 on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia.
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2019 Ford F-150 was traveling westbound when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. ISP said the pickup crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with three motorcycles traveling eastbound.
ISP said the 60-year-old female driver of the Ford, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation. After her release, she was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on probable cause for three counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Even in a car, it pisses me off the way people drive balls to the walls up to a stop sign and brake at the last minute. I “know” they are going to stop, but I really don’t. They physics of two vehicles at high speed approaching at right angles on a collision course is the problem. It indicates they are not aware of this, at some level.

Yeah jerkoffs like that can spook you. Its bad when you have a small group of bikes and the ones up front start hitting their brakes. We try to ride spread out for that reason.

The GOP has been known to put up eye candy too-- Kari Lake was certainly one.
I could mention several others, but... I don't want to get called "BLIND Man!", because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think most would agree that Kristi Noem is one deserves to be included.
I'm probably the only one here who remembers FL SoS Katherine Harris. She was briefly famous for her role in the 2000 Bush/Gore disputed election.

- Working Perseus VM, with scripts to generate vocab lists for any text/author.
- Keeping the raspberry pi sprinkler system in the garage from dropping off the wifi.
- Fixing the xfce dual-monitor wake-up-from-sleep with one hdmi and one dp.
- Diagnosing spontaneous reboots with no logs every 3-10 days.
- Finally adding spamassassin to the domains with self-hosted email.
- Linting the ansible scripts for various systems.
- Diagnosing problems with the old Brother printer.
- Finding ways to extend wifi to the far end of the house.
- Rails polymorphic constraints.
- Upgrading my weight/run time/bp spreadsheet to a Rails app.
- Dike out React from my time tracking app, replaced with a bit of Stimulus.
- More munin graphs.
- Jellyfin server.
- Personal Firefox plugin for pass(1).
- Why did git-crypt stop working in my dotfiles repo?
- OCR+RAG of old database research papers.

Think I've removed about a cubic yard of english ivy! Next step... spray it with shrub poison. Might take a couple-three treatments, that stuff is *tough* to eradicate.

Sen. John Hickenlooper defeated progressive state Sen. Julie Gonzales in Colorado's Democratic Senate primary, securing the nomination as he seeks a second term.
Gonzales argued Democrats needed to take a more aggressive approach to opposing President Trump and criticized Hickenlooper's moderate record, including some of his votes in favor of Trump's nominees.
The result marks a setback for the Democratic Party's progressive wing after a string of recent primary victories elsewhere

We've had a brief respite from the usual heat... back into the convection oven next week, tho.
One year, before we had any a/c units, we bought a plastic kiddie pool and spent many hours in the water with our cold beverages. Better than nothing, LOL.
I'll be putting in the portable a/c this weekend. Easy peasy. (suck it, yurrup-peons!)

But, we are scooting down to Kasilof on the 5th through the 10th. Dipnetting some lovely Kasilof Red Salmon, which some of you morons and ettes have tasted. DH fishes, I clean and ice. We go with friends, and then have feasts on shore along with a few libations. It probably doesn't pay out, but oh my, how we love our smoked salmon and our good friends and a good time.
Watching the weir counts and it is looking good for that week.

After 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 looking for the Winnower why do people play dxe4? I don't know what theory says, but my games from there seem boring.
Posted by: frammish at July 01, 2026 01:23 AM (rcENI)
Exchanging in the French is a classic out for both sides when they don't want test their knowledge of the opening theory. Usually black isn't the one you'd expect to opt out, but 3. ... dxe4 is a solid response to both 3. Nc3 and 3. Nd2 so it allows the black player to comfortably play the French without having to memorize quite as much.

Jesus. A friend just texted me. 2 of his friends got wiped out on the motorcycles (harleys) over the weekend. Fucking car pulled out in front of them. One died at the scene, the other lost a limb and is hanging on by a thread. He has a 7 year old daughter. Drivers like that need an instant bullet in the head.

My brother was driving his new HONDA 90 when a woman pulled in front of him. Broadsided he did, flew over the car he did, and cracked his cheap helmet. Thankfully he survived.
I always wrote it off as small scooter. Then just 5 years ago, I was driving, clear crisp morning a woman pulled out in front of me. Broadsided her I did.I was until that second skeptical of airbags. NO MORE. Without airbags and crush zones, I would not be here.
So sorry for your friends.

Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps
Dog hints that it's time for a walk. World Pup shootout. Cat working hard on the farm. Malinois thinks its owner's umbrella is a chew toy. I've heard some call the performance pets put on when they haven't been fed for twenty minutes the Hunger Games. Here a kitten pounces and seizes on an unopened can of cat food, carrying on like a mental patient. This dog must be salty. Kangaroo rush hour. Kitten adopts a jogger.
Space Invaders. Dogs beating the heat. Will you be my friend? Wobbly juvenile giraffe stoops down for water.

The recent rumor that a penguin with a laser on its head was used to create a 350 foot cut in the DC reflecting pool liner is not beyond the realm of possibilities. It is an established fact that Nazi scientists beneath the Antarctic have developed their fowl-based weaponry far beyond that seen during WWii. Big Penguin's continued use of this technology and partnership with the Soros to disrupt the 250th anniversary of our great country will no doubt manifest itself over the next few days. Be vigilant, and carry nose plugs.

When you register to vote in Calif, you are supposed to have some form of ID, which includes things like a Bill... but you can just click past it, and continue, and still get registered.
And note, they do not check if a bill you photocopy onto their website is even valid... could be photoshopped easily.

LOL. Reminded me of a story Dad told about this one particularly ne'er do well guy in his small home town, back in the early 1940s:
Grandma would set pies on the window sill to cool, and occasionally one would "disappear." Usually apple. She discovered that it was always the same guy, and he had no family so it wasn't as if he was trying to provide for children.
She made a special 'apple' pie out of potato slices, along with the usual good-smelling spices, baked it, then set it on the sill and left the house for a while. Sure enough, it got stolen.
Haha, she said no more pies were stolen after that!

I am surprised that NPR did not claim the drop in violent crime was because blue states have continually failed to report or even respond to violent crime, showing Trump unable to influence even this part of the social contract.

>>I want to go to that little valley in Switzerland. Or really any little valley in Switzerland. It looks quiet and peaceful there.
One of my favorite trips was visiting Lake Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus. They have a tour called the Golden Circle that starts with a boat ride around Lake Lucerne which is beautiful. Busier than that little valley but right at the base of the Alps and lovely.
The ride ends at the base of Mt Pilatus where you take a cog railway to the top of Mt Pilatus. The railway is very steep but there are homes like the one in the photo above and cows grazing on the side of the mountain and crazy Swiss hiking up the mountain.
Big viewing area at the top of the Alps and the lake and a couple restaurants and a hotel. You hop on a gondola and ride back to Lucerne for big ending. Really spectacular views.

The Tunguska object was most likely a large fragment in the Taurid meteor stream. That is the debris trail of Comet Encke, which crosses the ETFs orbit on two spots, one around June 30 of course, a few day window.
At this spot the stream is coming at you from the direction of the sun. You can't see it coming.

AI sez: "Potato pie is a versatile dish made with potatoes, butter, milk, and cheese. It can be savory or sweet. You can make a savory version with mashed potatoes, ham, and mozzarella in a casserole dish, or a pastry-crusted pie filled with sliced potatoes, cheese, and onions"

Switzerland has a robust form of Democracy, some say it was a model for the founders. Lots of referendums. Swiss citizens vote on everything.
Democrats here don’t like democracy. For example one final hurdle for would be Swiss citizenship, your neighbors get to vote on whether you should become a Swiss citizen.
Can you imagine the howls of outrage from the leftist twats? Now that’s Democratic.

34 The recent rumor that a penguin with a laser on its head was used to create a 350 foot cut in the DC reflecting pool liner is not beyond the realm of possibilities. It is an established fact that Nazi scientists beneath the Antarctic have developed their fowl-based weaponry far beyond that seen during WWii. Big Penguin's continued use of this technology and partnership with the Soros to disrupt the 250th anniversary of our great country will no doubt manifest itself over the next few days. Be vigilant, and carry nose plugs.

In other words, Swiss citizens have the right of self determination. A sovereign entity. When the asshats here say “that’s not who we are!”
What they are REALLY saying, we don’t have the right to say what we will become.
Or put another way, in modern America, no particular group can actually define itself. That’s how they destroyed the Boy Scouts, for just one of many examples. A fine organization, it was.
Or say, an after school Bible study group. You just have to allow an atheist satan worshipping goat fucker be President, or it’s “discrimination”.
In much the same way, the USA is not allowed to define itself any longer. This is not by accident. “Sovereign” nations have to go, and be subsumed by the globalist borg. We’re watching this play out in real time. 100 years worth now, I suppose.

As the precision of measurement standards improve, the bureaucrats like to lower the threshold of acceptable limits. Parts per million can now be measured in parts per billion.
Frightening the womenfolk & horses, and turning errybody into neurotics.
Setting allowable limits arbitrarily is a time proven method of destroying business and industry, a de facto prohibition or outlawing of any given particular activity. It’s not “illegal” per se, it’s simply that nobody can pencil it out and afford to comply.
So the industry, jobs, factories, etc get offshored to Mexico or Cambodia or China or wherever, they don’t play silly reindeer games.

Brando was extremely competitive, and in 1968 he appeared at a private party celebrating Oscar nominations in which Paul Newman was in attendance with his wife Joanne Woodward. Brando approached Newman and began a conversation that eventually became very heated, resulting in Brando shouting and Newman walking away. Later that evening Brando stood on a table and challenged Newman to an egg eating contest, like the one Newman was depicted doing in Cool Hand Luke, however Newman ignored the challenge.
Brando, undeterred, had somebody from his entourage bring him dozens of hard boiled eggs, and started the competition without Newman. While eating, he would loudly keep count as he consumed the eggs saying things like "21 Newman! 21 eggs already! I'm better than you Newman!", while mocking and insulting Newman the whole time, and calling him a "phony".
Eventually, Brando consumed 51 eggs before being removed from the party, 1 more than Newman's character did in Cool Hand Luke. As he was being escorted out, he

SCOTUS has now destroyed free and fair elections by ruling that Election Day, really isn’t the day that’s set, it’s a mutable day based on when ballots are received.
They also took the 14th Amendment meant specifically for African Americans and turned it into an immigration weapon that automatically confers citizenship on whoever crosses the border.
ACB is perhaps the worst justice to ever serve on the court. She is subverting the constitution at will, along with her fellow traveler, Roberts.
A lot of people have decried the fact they haven’t taken up the 2A bans cases, even as many citizens are irreversibly harmed by the lack of injunctions- which by the way should be a “clue”. I say, I hope this court never takes up a ban case because it will just be another right ACB steals from us.

I think the biggest mass killing at a school in the US happened in 1927. 45 dead.
That doesn't count because history only starts yesterday for the left. Also it was a bomb instead of a gun. The biggest gun mass killing was at VA Tech. 27. IIRC the shooter wasn't American.

That is 100% so they can jail people who make comments they don't like. There's always a trial run of this shit in Europe before it goes wide, because they're more prone to be sheep there.

They've got a circular excuse going... when one excuse is refuted, they'll bring out the next, eventually circling back to the first one. It's the same circular excuse strategy that communists always deploy to excuse the failures of communism.

Publius - there’s a great book I’m reading, called “This New Ocean”, a history of Project Mercury. It’s a hefty tome of 708 pages, written shortly after completion in the 1960s.
It delved into all aspects of the initial impetus, during the 1950s and prior, with the NACA and also delves into some of the aspects of orbital mechanics. I knew it was complicated, but I didn’t realize the twists involved with rendezvous.
There’s also some semi-related interesting stuff on the torture devices constructed to put the astronauts through the paces.
One was called MASTIF, it revolved on 3 gimbals and could hit 60 RPM in a single revolution, turning on three axes. They had a big red “Chicken” button to be pressed, when you couldn’t handle it any longer. A loud klaxon would sound, letting everyone know you wimped out. LOL

Meanwhile it's still commonly used here in Alaska.
Calling them all "Inuit" is jug-headed even by woketard standards.
The Inuit live in Canada. Alaska has Inupiat (fairly closely related to the Inuit, but distinct) and Yupik (more distant).
Yupik definitely do not like being called "Inuit". Historically the two groups did not get along.
The languages are related, but not that closely. It's like calling a Spaniard "French" just because they both speak a Romance language (i.e., might even get your ass kicked for that).
Oh, and Alaska's Indian tribes are definitely not Eskimos. Take the historical dislike between Inupiat and Yupik and magnify it by about a hundred.
Where I live there are Eskimos (Chugachigmiut, a Yupik people) on the other side of the Chugach mountain range east of town, in the Prince William Sound drainage. On this side, in the Cook Inlet drainage, it's historically been all Indians (Denaʼina, an Athabascan people).
Why? Because the Denaʼina genocided the Chugachigmiut on this side of the Chugach mountains before Whitey even showed up.

Luis Alvarez once suggested that a sufficiently large mass of U235 slammed into another mass by hand could achieve criticality and blow up.
This is of course why Uranium and such is so closely monitored.
Fermi constructed NR-1 on the squash court during the war using hired people off the street, involving tons of bricks of graphite. He did this because the government contracted firm to construct it was on strike, it was supposed to be built at Argonne iirc.

Fermi was a great fan of Square Dancing. He was said to “dance with his brain, not his feet”, but still. He loved America.
They assigned him a personal bodyguard during the Los Alamos days. They spent a lot of time playing Gin Rummy when traveling. By the time the war ended, he ended up owing his bodyguard several million dollars. They both would reveal this to people with a serious tone. LOL
I guess Von Neumann learned to play poker, but always got beat. He wrote the book on probability theory and similar.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
@NYT is still lying about the Laptop From Hell, to excuse the fact they failed to cover the story. This time, the so-called paper of record claims that it was the loathsome Miles Guo who first published material from Hunter Biden's laptop. False. The @nypost first published that material on October 14, 2020. Guo's sleazy G-News subsequently ran material from the laptop - along with faked photos that were not on the laptop. I often wondered if Guo ran the fake photos deliberately to discredit the laptop because he mixed in the same circles as Hunter's Chinese pals and was worried he would be found out.

@NewYorker Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children's school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.
Katie PavlichThe New York Times freaks out over Republican women having babies while Democrat women abort theirs.
@KatiePavlich Israel is a sovereign country and Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank have zero right to work in that country - especially after Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. So yeah, they're not allowed to work in Israel anymore. Maybe you should be asking the governments of Gaza and the West Bank to foster economies that benefit their people so they don't have to go work in the country next door.
This isn't pregnancy. It's a political plot. A full-blown, unhinged conspiracy orchestrated by the MAGA movement to take over the hearts, minds and uteruses of gestating people all over the nation, one bassinet, one burp, one stretch mark at a time. The New York Times has cracked the code. It's Pulitzer time, baby! In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. At the same time! That Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and Second Lady Usha Vance should all be on the nest simultaneously isn't just a happy mini baby boom. It is -- according to the Times -- a pernicious "Handmaid's Tale"-style political plot promoting conservative child-making frenzy in an age of declining birthrates and the collapse of the Democratic Party in middle America. It's a cautionary fable, a warning that the dreaded GOP's steady rate of reproduction amid a Democratic baby drought poses a dire threat to the nation. According to the Gray Lady (now Gray Female-Identifying Newspaper) Republicans are planning to win support and ever-greater numbers of adherents by growing their own voters. One infant at a time. It's all laid out in the piece entitled "The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image." In it, Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman writes: "That three such prominent women in the MAGA movement were pregnant at pretty much the same time was, indubitably, a coincidence." Or maybe not. "But" -- there's always a "but" -- "for an administration that has such an intuitive and strategic understanding of the power of aesthetics that an unspoken dress code in which men outfit themselves in the image of the president has developed, it has also become a telling one," Friedman froths. "Together, the women have created a notably consistent, and somewhat paradigm-shifting, picture of the White House's family and fertility platform."

Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children's school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.

In it, Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman writes: "That three such prominent women in the MAGA movement were pregnant at pretty much the same time was, indubitably, a coincidence."
Or maybe not.

Stupid NYT. Do they think they coordinated their ovulation times and nights of romance??
When I was a jr. associate, tin my class of about 20 lawyers (probably 12 women?) there were 4 of us pregnant at the same time, and 3 more pregnant in the class ahead of me. We all were due within 2 months of each other. We lined up for a picture of all of our protruding bellies, which I still have.
When there are more than a few married women between 25 and 39 and in your workforce, the odds of several of them being pregnant at the same time seem pretty high.

Her brother (the dude I am married to) can baby talk after he gets off the phone with her.

But get one judge to decide the income tax is unconstitutional and we'd see serious and major judicial reform. Yes I know it was passed by an amendment but like the other amendments it would be trivial to argue the implementation the government has (and any potential implementation in the future) are still unconstitutional...

NPR ran a big piece today all about how justice Alito is retiring from the Supreme Court.
They had to issue a retraction and an apology.
The writer of this article? The person who ran it?
Nina.... Totenberg. A name that should go down in infamy

There's some joy -
New York Magazine
It was widely, almost universally, expected that Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order purporting to abolish “birthright citizenship” would not survive a U.S. Supreme Court review of its constitutionality. Not so expected was that four Supreme Court justices would claim Trump’s action *did* comply with the 14th Amendment despite its clear language that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States.”
But this defeat for Trump isn’t as definitive as the one we expected, writes Ed Kilgore. “As a matter of constitutional law, Trump v. Barbara is a 5-4 decision that hardly closes off the question for all time. Rather than shutting down Trump’s efforts to radically redefine and restrict the meaning of citizenship, the narrow conservative majority at the Supreme Court will likely embolden him and like-minded nativists to keep up the fight.”

This is not a defense of KBJ - 'cause she is a dope - but I will say people fucking hate lawyers because they write stuff in a manner that deliberately confuses average people, often deliberately, and to show how smart they're supposed to be are. Later in my career, we strove to write and communicate in clear text. That is, stuff we could all grasp and understand. Such things are occasionally important.

When your dining out in Chicago -
Tafari’s Kitchen: Located inside the Forum building just off the John Lewis Plaza, the Center’s onsite restaurant offers a full menu of casual food inspired by the Obamas’ personal stories, culture, and commitment to healthy eating. The restaurant features a welcoming dining space with wide glass doors for al fresco dining on warmer days. It honors the award-winning former White House culinary team member and beloved personal chef to the Obama family who tragically passed away in 2023. Tafari Campbell was known as a warm, fun-loving, and humble soul who used his immense gifts and passion for food to spread joy and bring people together, and a painting of him by Kate Capshaw will hang in the restaurant.

The first writes in a style that I can only describe as stream of consciousness. The other writes as if she's casually chatting with the reader. Needless to say, I have spilled rivers of red pixels on various pleadings and administrative decisions.
So, no...I think it's entirely probable that Jumanji actually writes this drivel.

As a point of order, there is no requirement for an associate justice on the Court to pass the bar or be an attorney. Just advise and consent of the Senate.
“Expert” legal opinion from the rarefied air of academe is in fact responsible in part as to why the U.S.A. is so utterly FUBAR.
I’m not “anti intellectual”; precisely the opposite, in fact. But so many important positions have been hijacked by quacks and grifters and pseudo-intellectuals. It’s a scam, pulled on the citizenry.
“Oh, this is all really complicated and stuff. You didn’t attend Deah Old Hahvahd. Don’t worry, we’ll ‘splain to you what they really meant.”
One slot (at least) should be reserved for normal, decent people. A plumber, or a welder, a dry cleaning business owner, that kind of thing.
No law agin’ it. Suggest this to a Liberal and they’d drop their Martini. They don’t really want “Democracy”. Not even a little bit.

Justice Kagan initially hired her in July 2020, but due to conflict-of-interest concerns while her father was serving as U.S. Attorney General, the clerkship was postponed. She later joined Justice Kagan's chambers and is listed among the clerks for the Court.

Step 1: Put on pants
Posted by: 18-1 at June 30, 2026 07:20 PM (sKqQm)
What if I already have pants on? Do I put on additional pair? Do they go on over the current pants or on another part of my body? I haven't tested it but I think I have a finite number of pants max capacity, somewhere in the ballpark of two dozen pants and things start going nonlinear.

Steve Rattner from the Obama administration is getting dragged on X for some probably made up chart claiming we get an excellent "return on investment" for stopping Africans dying of AIDS at only $8000 a person.
That quickly became that there's an exchange rate between gay AIDS Africans and US dollars and people pricing stuff accordingly.

I want all of you to start having babies. Now.
Find a conservative woman (easy to find as no tattoos on arms or blue hair and nostril ring), woo her with your kindness, humor and good looks. Marry. And join the political plot. We did our duty and had two sons who vote conservative and married and are Christian.
I wanted one more boy (it would have probably been twin boys) and my husband vetoed due to the c-section potential uterine rupture deal at the time and losing me and the baby.
Get this done!

write stuff in a manner that deliberately confuses average people, often deliberately, and to show how smart they're supposed to be
——-
Generally, I’ve learned that unscrupulous types like to muddy the water, to try and make it look deep.
“This is really complicated. There is no simple solution, blah blah blah.”
The truth is, sometimes things are very simple. It’s just not easy and this especially applies to Politics.
When your local critter is enthusing about how they are fine-tuning the Weather a hundred years from now, you can be sure they aren’t doing fuck-all about roads, crime, sewage, any of the nuts and bolts stuff about good government. Those are indeed difficult tasks, but the one thing they are not is “complicated”.
Consider though, since they cannot handle simple tasks, what are the odds they are going to shine on the truly complex stuff?
Yeah. No chance.

My guess -- and that's all that it is -- is that every SCOTUS reporter has that story (and one like it about Thomas) already written and in a folder on their computer. She had it open to add stuff about todays rulings, hit the wrong button and published it by mistake. Of course, nothing like that could ever happen around here. Ace runs a tighter ship than NPR does.

If it's any help to anyone, I met my future husband in a hospital elevator. Introduced to me by my classmate who was dating him.
A month later he decided he was not really dating her but I made him straighten that out. She became a lesbian later, which might explain some of the confusion.
I know this is not a lot of help, but you could start riding a lot of elevators.
Heaven knows I would not want to be single now with all the angst and wahoo or try dating sites. I'm sure only serial killers would want to date me based on what I'd say.

OUT: Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Socialists, Just Liberals
IN: New Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Communists, Just Socialists
Given that you lied for 70 years about Democrats' strong affinity for creeping socialism, you don't really have much credibility now that you admit they've been socialists all along but defenitely!!! aren't Slowly Boiling Frogs communists, do you?
Axios:GOP reboots the Red Scare as young Democrats embrace socialism "Red scare." LOL, we're just making it up, huh, Axios? Where do we get these crazy ideas from? Just pure gaslighting.
I have little use for Steve Bannon but he's basically right. Yes, the op goes back that far. "These aren't the communists in the State Department you're looking for." As the communist's left favorite two-step deceit always goes: CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up: CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal! You see this two-step all the time. "Of course Democrats aren't grooming kids to be transgender"/"Of course Democrats are encouraging children to find their true sexual selves, as they should!!!"
70 years after the Red Scare and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, President Trump and Republicans are trying to re-introduce a national fear of "godless communists" ahead of the critical midterms. Why it matters: A wave of resounding victories by Democratic Socialists has the GOP trotting out a message that last worked when most of those candidates weren't even born. It's too soon to know if the message is working -- but Trump and Republican strategists see an opening with voters old enough to remember Soviet-era nuclear drills and spy dramas. The big picture: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon has argued for years that former Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was right about communism's widespread infiltration into the U.S. government.
Well yes, especially now that the would-be Pan-Communist Empire has fused with the Pan-Islamist Empire.
On Sunday, Trump called communism "the Greatest Threat to our Country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!"
Once a fringe view, now right-wing voices seem to be calling for a McCarthyism revival.In other words: It's so strange that now that Democrats are admitting to being communists, people are once again announcing themselves as communist-opponents!
What they're saying: "It's a common electoral strategy for conservatives to attack liberals, progressives, democratic socialists as communists, and imply therefore that they are much more extreme than they actually are," Kathryn Olmsted, a U.C. Davis distinguished professor of history, tells Axios. But, she adds, "we're definitely reaching a new fever pitch."Keep in mind the media has denied for 70 years that Democrats were socialists. Now that the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party, they say of course they're socialists, but that's a good thing!
Reality check: Democratic socialism is not communism. New York's Zohran Mamdani and Washington, D.C., mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George both call for expanded government programs, Axios' Josephine Walker writes. "Any attempt to smear us as 'extremists' falls flat when so many Americans are struggling with the rising cost of housing, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, and underfunded schools," a DSA spokesperson told Axios in a statement. Still, Democrats are grappling with what it means for progressives and young Americans embracing labels that once stoked fears of communism. Between the lines: Red-baiting "has much less resonance for a younger generation, which did not grow up living under the shadow of the Soviet Union," says Ethan Porter, co-director of GW's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics. "For many young voters, communism is just not an effective boogeyman."We know, because they've embraced communism.

Gentle reminder that Barack Obama started his political career in the "New Party" of Chicago. This was DSA before DSA. The idea was to get connections so as to win primaries in the Democrat Party.

The ACLU off/and/on since then became more principled, but not the money behind them.

The Democrats don't really want communism. That is, they are not interested in the government owning the means of production. They don't want government to claim ownership of all the farms and factories.
What they want is corporations, beholding to the Democrats, to run all those things. The non-threatening word for that form of government is Corporatism. The less nice word is Fascism. That's what the Dems really are.

Implication: We need a shepherd to make sure things are fair,
Outcome: The shepherd will keep the wolves to keep the sheep in line, and eventually the shepherd will butcher the sheep when it no longer produces sufficient wool and lambs, and share it with the wolves to reward their loyalty.

I’m encouraged by this. The media seem worried about these new GOP attacks on out and proud, whip-out-their-red-dicks socialists and commies. That’s why they are trying so hard to downplay the red scare.
I have said here several times that this isn’t a takeover. It’s a rebranding of a Democrap party that’s been secretly socialist for over 50 years. But I’m encouraged that the leftwing media seems scared enough of that rebranding to try to explain it away.
Media wants socialism, for sure, but they’re acting like the country as a whole ain’t ready for it. Like when youre on a date and you pull out your dick too early and you get heismanned. But if you waited a little longer, and romanced the chick a little more, you woulda got lucky.

"70 years after the Red Scare..."
That was the Second Red Scare.
The First Red Scare was in the early 1900s when Anarachists, and their Communist brethren, were rioting, bombing, assassinating, and creating havoc on a regular basis, which in part lead to the creation of the FBI.
So technically we're now in the Third Red Scare, and what we've come to realize is that it's the Reds doing all the scaring.

Losers are socialists/commies. They don't have toys to throw out of their prams.
They want what hard working people have and have public tantrums with posters created and printed by a capitalist. Then take their body odors, tattoos and pierced noses and blue hair to protest people who worked for a living to reap some rewards before death.
The dead nephew-in-law was like this as well as an atheist. The dinner at my MIL's where we met him he was whining about the above, said he thought the protest against Wall Street was the greatest thing ever and nothing similar (the SIL I love snickered, um summer of '69). Then started whining that people with college degrees should not be managers over him (his dream job of a manager of a call station of Grub Hub came later, his only job we are aware of in shitcago).
My husband, who was sort of high on cough medicine from getting sick on the plane earlier, politely informed him he'd worked hard for everything we have. He's a calm and diplomatic guy who normally would have ignored the eejit spewing at his left.

Paradoxically, communist infiltration in the US government has progressed a lot after the fall of the Soviet Union, because it is less easy to make the argument that communists are traitors to their country, spies for a foreign power, etc..
There's still China, but Chinese espionage is widely accepted nowadays. Nobody cares. You are racist if you accuse someone of being a Chinese spy.
Besides, not all US communists are obviously tied to China; however, if there ever is a glasnost in China and their archives open, who knows what we will find. Maybe they finance the majority of US protest movements in some indirect manner. Unlike during the Soviet Union, people don't talk about it, though.

Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole:
Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.
In each, there is an over riding Oligarchy, or Party, which decides who gets access to resources.
So, except of a bit of paper of who owns but does not control a company, what is the difference?

Someone posted about the "Ride of Killgore Trout", so I had to look it up, being unfamiliar. I thought it was a clothing store. It is a clothing store, a Jewish news website confirmed, it has recently expanded in Eton Square. On this website, I saw a sad headline that a 3 year old in was killed by a car in an outdoor barbeque restaurant in Beachwood. Turns out that the driver of the car is Kenneth McFadden's daughter (Mr McFadden tried to say he was driver, no dice per surveillance video). McFadden is the somewhat famous "Mouse McFadden", a Cleveland State basketball player who helped lead a Sweet Sixteen run in '86. The article didn't provide the name of the poor deceased child, so I looked it up. Very sad obituary, this tragedy happened on Father's day. Parents of the child were Jonathan and Simon. Wait, what? There is a fundraising page so they can be pay a surrogate for another child (surrogacy idea apparently in the works prior to tragedy per the page, not sure if the poor child's death was catalyst to get fundraiser started). Anyway, I'm back from this strange trip down the rabbit hole and will now pour myself a drink.

Because mass murder is the whole point of being a socialist. Socialists are just commie cocksuckers who haven't graduated to the commie fantasy of shooting kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck.
And yes, that includes your nice hippie neighbor who wouldn't hurt a fly.
They. Want. You. Dead.
Just ask them. They have no problem with telling you that they want right-wingers and moderates to die. They'll proudly admit it. Our failing is that we poo-poo their bloody fantasies as just hyperbole, rather than taking them seriously.

This ties into the birthright citizenship in a way. The biggest abuser of that protocol are the Chinese. It really is a State Security issue. If the Trump administration was serious (which I think they are), they would research every single corporate espionage case that involves "Chinese Americans" given citizenship through the birthright process...as well as outright espionage cases. They would, also, research politicians on the same premis, like that Mayor out in California that was reporting to the CCP. I think her name was Wong, or Wang. I forget. She and her chief of staff were communicating regularly with the CCP, and her municipal policies reflected that.
So, as Socialism creeps to Communism instead of Nixon's shortsighted belief that Communism would creep to Democracy on Mainland China...we should be treating the whole deal as a National Security issue.

The shining star of socialism is the NHS in the UK.
Where you wait months or years for a MRI and/or cancer surgery.
Yeah, I want that.
Due to our wicked capitalistic society we have more MRI's in one state in the USA than all of Canada, who has 420. Which is part of the delay but not all of it.
I got a sinus infection or plague on the plane to Scotland once. After climbing the cobblestone Royal Mile, dragging my suitcase after the train, the hotel let the almost dead woman and family check in early (pre-covid).
I was told NOT to go to the ED (I guess you have to bleed for that). Given a private MD I saw the next day and paid out of pocket ($600) for a complete workup and later a z-pack (which you rarely see now). I discovered at the pharmacy you can buy low dose codeine legally (or could), which was nice for me as I hate head pain plus snot. I lay dying for most of one day and recovered.
The next day we went to Stirling. I was staggering along Spittal Street and took a photo of the sign because I was doing a lot of that. Son was irritated with his slow walking corpse mom until HE got walking pneumonia on the plane back to FL.
This was my only experience with the NHS.

Spielberg just had to get his McCarthyism film fix. Every Hollywood director has to make a McCarthyism Red Scare film at least once in their career. I think it's in the charter of the Director's Guild of America.
Honestly, Hollywood would be a better place if they abandoned their stupid obsession with McCarthyism and formed an obsession for showing Scarlett Johansson's tits on-screen.

One interesting facet of the communists is that they are hellbent on reducing the population of the planet. Thus, they could eventually breed themselves out of existence.
This is also why they are hellbent on indoctrinating other peoples' children--because that's the only way they can expand their ideology over time.

Real communism has never been tried
Since there is always a false choice here - National Socialism vs. Communism or International Socialism seems to be the required binary choice here - is there a corrolary?
“Real Naziism has never been tried” Is this a valid statement too?
Why or why not? Collectivists are just thugs and gangsters. 100 million dead, at least, piles of skulls in the 20th century.
And that’s not counting the Wars. Chew on that for a while.

What the average Ameican thinks is "communism" is actually socialism.
Gulags? That's socialism.
Public execution of dissidents? That's socialism.
Forced abortions? That's socialism.
Bread lines, shortages, starvation? That's socialism.
What, then, is "commnism"?
Communism is living day-to-day wearing burlap togas on a collective farm with a bunch of glassy0eyed hippies, where there is n money, n familyunit, no personal possessions, no cvilization, no individuality, the words "I" and "me" banished from the language. That's communism.
Socialism is the stage we must g through to get to communism. Socialism is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Khmer Rouge, Zimbabwe's forced confiscation of all personal possessions, North Korea, Fidel Castro, mass graves and concentration camps. That's socialism.

Why should proclaimed Communists and Socialists be allowed to run for office in federal elections for Congress?

Numerous EOs signed by Truman through Kennedy made it illegal to employ Communists in the Federal government. Clinton or some other fag may have rescinded those?

Venona Papers proved McCarthy was correct. It also showed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were guilty. Yet to this day their two sons are trying to get Ethel exonerated. They petitioned both Barky and Joey. The two sons weren't adopted by family but by communists named Meeropol. Commies never stop

Communism is supposed to be paid according to ability and needs.... but someone has to decide how much you are paid, or need.
So instead of business deciding how much you are paid, or need, its a bunch of Party member bureaucrats.
For the under class it will end up with the same result... but will kill any incentive for the upper or middle class.

Both Ethel and Julius were sentenced to the death penalty, in part to put pressure on them to confess - and name names.
The thinking by the Judge was that Julius would never allow his wife to be executed, if either had cooperated they could have had their death sentence commuted.
They had kids, none of their friends or family would take them during the incarceration trial period, so they were shuffled off to “social services”.
Maybe they were bluffing, but da Judge called their bluff, and off to ole Sparky they went at Sing Sing.
Judge Kaufman pointed out the damage they did was incalculable. The Korean War was attributed to the fact of atomic espionage on their part, among other things.
I can understand why communism in the 1920s or 1930s gained traction, but there is really no excuse after that. They tied themselves into pretzels after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

I care about ending the capacity of the mullahs to project force outside their borders, preferably inside as well. According to their media the only lesson they have learned is that they need to have nukes in order to be untouchable.

We got involved because Israel said "do something or we will", and when we started negotiating Iran told us to screw off because they had just about refined Uranium and they figured they could hold out long enough to pop some nukes.
Everything since then has been arm bending to get them to comply. This is not Ukraine where the EU is feeding funds and weapons to the Ukes to bleed Russia white, Iranians don't have much of a backdoor for supplies and only the Chinese are willing and they don't do resupply on credit.
I think we have some space here.

I think it's time to close out the regime in Cuba. Then we send in the 82nd AB and demolish every bit of Castro's legacy, starting with the monuments. It won't cost much, we can offer free Costco memberships to use in the Costco we'll build in Havana if the applicants turn in at least one ton (American measure) for each membership.

Claim: Michelle Obama Has Blocked Cheryl Hines From Appearing on Larry David's New Show, Because She's RFKJr.'s Wife
Michelle Obama 'Bans' Cheryl Hines From Appearing in New Larry David HBO Show Over MAGA Links -- Ex-First Lady 'Can Be A B**** on Wheels' Michelle Obama has reportedly banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO show she is executive producing over her MAGA links.Obama himself will appear in this mock "historical" series which will, undoubtedly, regurgitate all of the left's invectives about America. Like he just did.
Michelle Obama has banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO series honouring America's 250th birthday, according to new claims, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The former First Lady, 62, is an executive producer on Larry David's new seven-episode sketch show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, and reportedly used her influence to stop Hines from featuring.
Michelle Obama does not want Hines anywhere near her show, according to reports. Hines, 60, starred alongside David, 78, in the hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; however, their relationship has become strained in recent years due to her relationship with the nation's Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ... And her ties to MAGA have resulted in Hines being omitted from the series, with insiders claiming the prospect of her featuring would make Michelle go "absolutely ballistic."
Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses." "I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW. The 44th president's appearance comes as most Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on Saturday with patriotic events across the country, while Obama is using the milestone to deliver a more cautionary message about the state of American democracy.Bonus: I mentioned Jill Biden's very suspicious book sales yesterday. Now the NY Post writes it up.
"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said. "It's that we're this mixed bag, we've got contradictions. And embody the country's contradictions," he added.
Except that Lauren Cobello specializes in bulk purchases of books to artificially boost their initial sales to get them on the best seller list. This is not an objective expert the media is contacting, but an invested, partisan champion of the system itself. As usual.
Former First Lady Jill Biden's memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later -- fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand. "View from the East Wing," which was published by Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases. By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether. The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand. Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir "debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders" before noting that it was "completely" off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline "very rare." Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced. "I don't think there is anything sinister about it," Lauren Cobello, founder and CEO of Leverage with Media PR, told The Post.
This bitch is just spamming out pro-Jill-Biden spin:
"I think it's a strategy, a smart strategy for how people are engaging their network so that they can get more books in the hands of their readers," she said of bulk buying.
Cobello, whose agency specializes in launching bestselling books, said bulk purchases are a routine feature of modern publishing campaigns -- particularly for politicians, celebrities and high-profile authors embarking on national book tours. ... "It's almost impossible to not have bulk orders" for major political figures and celebrities, Cobello said, noting that bookstores hosting large events often place orders for hundreds of books at a time.
Why even contact such a clear partisan as you supposed "outside expert witness"?
She also pushed back on the suggestion that the memoir's rapid decline necessarily signals failure. "It wasn't a complete flop," Cobello said, pointing to its continued appearance on the USA Today bestseller list after it exited the Times rankings. "She definitely had some bulk orders, but I think they were tied to the events that she had."

At Reuters: "Bird nests of fibre-optic cables show war's impact on Ukraine"
Optical fiber is so fragile, yet they can launch drones trailing many miles of the stuff without breakage or tangling in the drone props. Somebody was thinking outside the box with that stuff.

I get the sense that Larry David is much like the George Costanza character that was modeled on him, but without any of George's good qualities. Or like Larry in Curb Your Enthusiasm, again except without any of Larry's good qualities.

Speaking of spite,...
So some interesting history posted at end of Insty ONT this morning.
It seems that many of the small towns in Wyoming (and I guess elsewhere) were just post offices for the temporary camps set up for the rail road workers (often "hackers" who cut trees to make ties, so not just on the main line.) As well as other post offices set up without anyone thinking that the name would become permanent for a town or city.
That is why they often have silly names.
One example was DuBois, legend has it., pronounced doo-boys because it pissed off the politician who named it after himself and would get annoyed when people pronounced his name that way.

Let’s understand how the courts work. They don’t like changing things. They revere precedent.
---
Which as the court insists on reviewing more and more actions of government puts increasingly more government behavior out of the reach of voters, as voters have little if any effect on precedent.
So, we're back to fuck judges--they have disgraced themselves. Because precedent keeps decisions out of the power of the filthy unwashed.
This is elitism. It wouldn't be so bad, if judges weren't trying to make more and more legal precedent so they get this universal review of government behavior.
But, fuck judges.

I have this running theory that there are five senators taking all the flack for 10-20 others in not getting things done. All five are out (except Murkowski) at the end of this Congress. Suddenly, next congress, that cover is gone. More will have to volunteer to be scapegoats (possible) while the rest of the GOP Senate will be less amenable to not getting things done. The other 10-20 are cowards, hence the cover. And there are those in that 10-20 (like Ernst) who are going, too.

re birthright citizenship
If you saw Citizen Vigilante, you know that scene with the car.
Many people criticized that scene because it makes him seem like a psychopath.
In reality, it is the Writer explaining that if we insist on staying in our lane and not breaking the rules, we will end up dead in a ditch.
Those 5 women on the SCOTUS are behind the wheel insisting that we drive the country into a ditch.

250 Years ago today... they were debating the Declaration of Independence, that would make the Colonies NOT part of English Law or Governance.
Today the Supreme Court announced that our Citizenship is still dictated not by US Law and custom, but by English Law.

So, America's 250th anniversary will be "celebrated" under foreign occupation.

“If I had the power to fire her, I would have fired her.”
He didn't fire her, but told her when her time was up she wasn't getting a recommendation. You will see this in the media as being debunked because they are attacking the assertion that she was fired. She wasn't fired, but she was told off and is a filthy scum.

So why did they have to make up the story about British feudal claims being our citizenship tradition.
It's bullshit. Alito and Thomas clearly illustrate how there is more immediate context decades within the ratification of the 14th amendment.
Posted by: Axeman at June 30, 2026 04:52 PM (Fi81e)
Note, in English Feudal society, a Peasant owed 1 day a week worth of labor, to his Lord... as 1 day was God's, that meant 1/6 of his labor either in work, or Money.
So, 16.66%. Let's see... 12.4% Social Security... close.
25%- 30% combined state, local, Fed, income tax.
Property tax? ie paying the lord to live on hour land... another 1% or so
Sales Tax? oh... 9% here. then of course Gas Tax.
Sounds like we are a hell of a lot WORSE off then Peasants were.

And Trump is cracking down so much on even legal immigration that birthright citizenship is going to be even less of an issue over time.

Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett do vote on principle; their vote was entirely predictable to anyone familiar with how the courts work. It’s just that their principle is wrong, reflecting the old and established view of the 14th Amendment that we are currently challenging with new scholarship.

Because birthright citizenship was taken as a given until recently. I don't think it was discussed in any textbook other than as being axiomatic. It's one of those things like "The New Deal ended the Great Depression" that you were just told is true.
Roberts (and Barrett) seem to think that they need to preserve institutional credibility, as if they can control anything so nebulous. And doubtless Roberts knew that Thomas would wheel out one of his history lesson specials in a dissent. So he went looking for support for what he "knew" was already there. That he had to fall back on feudalism is actually kind of funny. Apparently nothing else less on-the-nose on our 250th birthday would work at all.

Schlichter in summary:
---
So what if the court is acting like the superlegislature the Federalist Papers said would invalidate their reason for being--we're one seat away from reversing all this.... it the Democrats don't win, stack the courts, doing laps with this verdict.
I sorta get where he's coming from. The battle is not completely lost. I just can't agree that the SCOTUS having "seats" and "votes" and invalidating themselves--by the admission in this very opinion piece--it's a recoverable situation.
Because you've accepted the rogue behavior of a branch that continually expands its area of review. And seems in no hurry to reign the overreach of their profession in, just "Hey, guys, knock off the restraining order from one regional judge stuff!"
I never was thinking this is the end. It's a part--perhaps a shadow of the end--but he's trying to talk me out of a funk that I'm not in, and normalizing court expansion (which is happening anyway).

None of my ancestors ever were slave holders however one of them died on the battlefield of Gettysburg fighting against the South. He left a young wife with two small babies. You wouldn't know greatness if it smacked you on your bony ass.

The true solution to birthright citizenship is kicking people out of the country and preventing more from coming in.
Net out-migration for the first time in decades last year.
The SCOTUS case was a loss, there are ways around it, there's more political will now than before to deal with it, but the overall effort now is towards remigration. At least 2.5 more years of this, and if the cleanup in elections and immigration is as significant as possible, the win from 2024 can look like small beans by 2028.

It also follows, one could be born into a slaveholding family. With me so far?
Now what? You modern sophisticated people say “I would have freed my slaves”
Maybe. Highly doubtful. The first problem, there wasn’t anyplace for them to go. Let’s say you owned 75 slaves on your plantation.
They cost the equivalent of about $50,000 or more per. Democrats would be the last on the planet to do something like that.
Plus, inheritance and bankruptcy law was quite different back then. As the heir to an Estate, you were on the hook for debts. That is not the case today.
They had Debtor’s Prisons. Totally awful. If you think modern or historical Democrats would go to prison and forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars in “assets” you’re smoking your socks.

SHERIDAN GORMAN'S MOM JUST NOW TO DEMOCRATS:
"I need you to imagine this is YOUR daughter."
"Because I'm VERY sure you won't be cutting off anyone when they're speaking."
"You won't, I'd be very sure you won't call this a 'political stunt!'"
"The grief is real. Every day I wake up with unimaginable pain. I wake up in the middle of the night and I think, did my daughter cry for me? She made it 40 feet, she made it 40 feet running for her life. Did she cry out for me? She died on that pavement all by herself, lonely, bleeding on that pavement."
"And I will never, ever rest. I actually have to say that I am devastated my husband and I. We're only a couple years away from retirement. I've worked my whole life so hard. All I wanted to do was just enjoy our children. Just wanted to enjoy my Sheridan."

Birthright citizenship was never our biggest problem in immigration. It was the open borders was the problem.
And Trump is cracking down so much on even legal immigration that birthright citizenship is going to be even less of an issue over time.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 30, 2026 05:00 PM (qd4Mv)
Nope, three Supreme Court decisions show how dangerous this becomes.
1. Birth tourist to the US, kid is a citizen.
2. Dual Citizenship Legal by Supreme Court Fiat.
3. All Citizens right to vote, and vote by mail.
So, ChiCom comes here on a Visa and has a kid, goes back to China.
18 years later, Kid, never having lived in the US is still a Dual Citizen with the right to vote. Registers ONLINE because there is no verification process... then changes the address to where they want the ballot sent, in China.
Hell, due to international mail... it does not even look like the Ballot needs to be postmarked by the USPS by election day, but could be done by a foreign post office, and we'd still have to count it due to current law.
Even without other cheating, this takes the control of our elections OUT of the hands of Native Cits.

No surprise. At the minimum, see Philly & the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (In January, the National Park Service removed a prominent slavery exhibit from the President’s House site in Philadelphia. The removal was part of the Trump administration's "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" initiative. The city of Philadelphia sued to restore the displays, but a federal appeals court ruled that the administration has the authority to alter the site.) Also, the Smithsonian stirs the pot a lot.

Boeing B-17s hogged a lot of the spotlight, but B-24 production dwarfed Wichita’s output. I think Ford’s River Rouge plant, the largest in the world at the time, was churning out a B-24 every hour 24/7 at one point.

USAID defunded means right wing leaders getting voted in in South America, which means they can finally clean up their countries, which hopefully means less illegals coming here to escape those countries.
It can still be changed by a new constitutional amendment (good luck with that though).
And the scotus ruling can be a rallying cry to pass the save act?

Beauty is a “social construct”. It’s part and parcel of the Frankfort School of deconstructionism and Critical Theory. Thus a hot female, is only beautiful because reasons. There are no objective standards of beauty, you see.
Yes, they are insane.

Most of the bloviating that the court majority did was in fact obiter dicta not necessary to judge whether Trump had the constitutional power. And that is where Roberts and ACB being preening social virtue signalling twats went too far. Like Justice Taney trying to resolve a question forever, Roberts and co joined with the deraged leftist witch coven on the court to misread constitutional history and even British law.

Another Mamdani-Backed Muslim Wins Democrat Primary for State Senator; Claims That "Racism, Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Islamophobia" "Manifested" in 9/11
She excuses terrorists because they come from "colonized lands" and uses Ilhan Omar's formulation that Muslims shouldn't have to apologize for something "a couple of people did" and goes further: she demands apologies for "genocide and slavery" plus reparations before she'll consider offering her own apologies. She's also clearly brain-damaged, as she cannot speak three words without saying "like," "um," or "you know." By the way, Muslims are the most enslaving race in history and are still enslaving people.Muslim Mamdani-backed socialist primary winner suggested America deserved 9/11 in unearthed videoShe won the very blue district she was running in, which means she's running essentially unopposed in November.
Aber Kawas, the daughter of a deported Jordanian national, won the Democratic primary for a deeply blue Queens district Another radical far-left candidate backed by socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after a resurfaced social media clip shows her appearing to suggest that America deserved the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Aber Kawas is the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens who is now the Democratic nominee for the New York State Senate District 12. Like Mamdani, Kawas is a socialist.
"The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy... and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11," she said in a 2017 episode of the Asian American Writers' Association podcast titled "Islamophobia beyond 9/11 with Aber Kawas." She then downplayed the horrific attack.
"The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery... is something I find reprehensible," she said.
... She has also reportedly been affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has previously been designated as a terrorist organization in some U.S. states and other countries. Her father, Jordanian national Abdelkareem Kawas, came to the United States on a tourist visa in 1989 and never left, according to the New York Post. He was later deported after a conviction for real estate fraud and a prison stint. Kawas made this story central to her campaign and portrayed it on the trail as cruel persecution by immigration authorities of her father.
New York City just elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate.

NYC public schools FY2026 budget is $45 billion (~$35k per student). National K-12 spending exceeds $980 billion annually. US aid to Israel is about $3.8 billion/year.BTW, school enrollment in NYC has plunged since covid and the general enshittification process of communist mayors. And yet the budget for schools zoomed upwards.
Meanwhile, "Islamic scholars" proclaim that America and indeed all Western nations are now under Islamic control and there's nothing you can do about that.

Tucker Carlson continues feting Russia government operatives as "wise men," including the Russian "Merchant of Death" convicted of selling arms to terrorists (who was let out of prison in exchange for WNBA pothead Briney Griner). Tuq'r is plainly making common cause with communists and Islamists to fight the real enemy, Jewish Capitalism, as Hitler always called it. Dana Loesch writes:

@bonchieredstate "The Amish? The people who have been in America since its founding, produce virtually no crime, consume almost no welfare, and don't demand the country be changed for them?"
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch Tucker thinks he's smart enough to use Islamism as a way to usher in socialism (red/green) but in reality, Islamists are using him as a stooge to spread Islamism.

They have never hidden their agenda for Ummah, the radical islamists. You will submit or die (I will die).
I have quoted here and other places that this has been known since 1999 when a scholar in the UK said basically this at a joint kumbaya coexist panel (paraphrased because I do not feel like looking for it):
Your country will collapse to islam BECAUSE your own laws of democrazy protect us.
They knew this. They knew people are bleeding hearts. They knew then they could control voting blocs with illegal immigration and no go zones for police.
They are succeeding hiding behind our laws of protection due to their religion and color of their skin.

I dropped by a Mennonite bakery the other day and it was interesting. They had electric lights, computerized payment systems, and electric baking machinery in their open concept store.
I did like the Christian wall art and music...it was a nice change from your average corporate grocery store.
I did ask the clerk if she was part of a Mennonite community because I was interested in what it was like but she turned red and got quiet so she obviously didn't want to talk so I just paid and ate my food.
Later I did some research and there had been a Mennonite community in that area for some time.

MELANIA TRUMP • @MELANIATRUMP. 36m
"As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected." - MELANIA, #1 NYT Bestseller, (p. 156)
The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion:
"Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women's and girls' sports for biological females?... The answer is yes."
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.
Both ideals are essential.

This terror slag is replacing retiring state senator Michael Gianaris. He's as far left as she is. She will not vote any differently on any issue than he would have.
As I've been saying, none of these new out-and-proud commies are any different than the old crusty secret commies.
The only difference is the newer generation's open hostility to America and Israel. Gianaris tried to straddle the fence on Israel-Palestine, trying to pander to both sides. But anyone who tries to straddle the fence between Israel and pure evil is really a supporter of evil.
The new generation is openly demonic.

In 'Stan there were two distinct factions fighting the Soviets.
We funded Masood the Pakis funded Hekmatyar.
We won and Masood formed a government.
But they didn't do a great job managing the country and after Clinton withdrew support Masood's government lost ground to the Pakistan funding jihadis.
On the eve of 9/11, literally the day before, the Paki funded Taliban assassinated Masood knowing he would have been our choice to fight against them.

I would hazard to guess that most inner city districts are so corrupt that it doesn't matter if they are unopposed or not.
Meaning there is no popular representation for any election, only what the corrupt election and party structure deems to have occurred -- up to and including disallowing any unapproved candidate from even being on the ballot.
So of course we get to insult and yell at all the people there for not voting because of course they don't. It makes us feel virtuous, and if the commenters here can feel virtuous then, well, there is no reason to search for a solution, is there.

Some responses -
In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
What might look like visceral "hate" is often the adoption of high-level academic cynicism. They are trained to dissect the flaws of Western capitalism and American foreign policy, which manifests as a vocal, hyper-critical stance against the very country they live in.
Their wealth gives them the luxury of global mobility, but their professional networks, corporate ties, and asset structures are deeply embedded in Western institutions. Returning to a developing nation—even one where their

parents had power—often means giving up the hyper-advanced infrastructure, legal protections, and global market access that the U.S. provides.
While they may visit on vacations, these children are culturally American. They speak with American accents, think through a Western lens, and lack the hyper-localized cultural nuances required to navigate the business or political landscapes of their parents' native countries.
If they return to "fix" things, they are often viewed by the locals as arrogant, entitled American outsiders trying to dictate terms. They don't have the grassroots credibility to enact change.
And so "ours" too - the Barack Obamas, AOCs, Ro Khannas and so many others, like as Nan, Bernie, and Liz, who help create an arrogant, self-absorbed and potentially violent political landscape.

23 This asshole wants to know why people on the right don't complain about the Amish. It's like he reads the comments.
I was recommending the other day that leftists that want gay, fossil free socialism can and should go forum communes where they can do exactly that without bothering the rest of us.
So if they did "go Amish" I would stop complaining about them

The ignorance of how the Amish operate is inconceivable to the Left. First off, you want to piss off an Amish person...over regulate them (milk pasturation being a big one). The Amish aren't dirt poor.,..they are quite wealthy, and if they owe you money they will pay timely, to the penny and in cash. They are more Libertarian than most self-proclaimed Libertarians. AND, Amish in PA know what Amish in Ohio, and many other communities are facing at any given time. They are not isolated by any fashion. They hold a lot of conservative values, are pacifists, and for the most part reflect a community that doesn't want government intervention.

And that goes over really well with 'infidels', so much so the notorious permissive Scandinavians try to ban them.
The first and most obvious solution to the problem of Islam is simply to broadcast their message more adequately. The video clips posted above are good. Websites that directly quote hadith and sunnah are very helpful as well.
The idea that Islam just naturally takes over places is nonsense. Even in full military and political control it took them centuries to convert Egypt and even Nubia (now the hellhole known as Sudan). The stage where Muslims become more visible and impossible to ignore is actually a good one, if you want people to confront them.

The TV shows are fake, and rumpispringa is basically the Amish version of Muslim rape gangs, just without the violence. An Amish person can "sow their wild oats" before a certain point. But that isn't really an out. It's akin to a Muslim not committing rape as long as it's one of those short-skirted non-Muslim women.
The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

165 Was playing around with AI regarding the new breed and what makes them so inherently miserable.
Some responses -
In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
****
Interestingly, I had a colleague who rose to become my boss' boss. He came from Ghana, where his family was LITERAL royalty; he was the hereditary king of a tribal nation there ... and you never met anyone who understood and appreciated the American Way more. He acted as a sort of volunteer consul for Ghanaians in our city, helping them learn our exotic ways. And he saved my career on more than one occasion by refusing to entertain bitchy accusations of racism by spoiled "African Americans."

William Craig Durham, 56, of Wilkes County, is being charged with first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping in connection with the death of United States Postal Service letter carrier Brandi Reynolds. ...
A family member of Reynolds told the judge that Durham had allegedly been threatening Reynolds and had broken into her home in the past. ...
The prosecution also detailed Durham’s extensive prior record, including an assault conviction, several past kidnapping charges, intimidating a witness charges and possession of a firearm by a felon.

I try to explain to local Dems that they are going to be overrun by the insanity out of NYC. We got overrun by NYC libs after 9/11 , then DiBlasio. Now the ones elected to go to Albany from NYC are going to make even more insane stage laws and policies. And Hochul will go along to get along

The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

Duh. Like people living in an Amish community aren't going to think that it's a good idea?
They're given the opportunity to live with the "English" and they can choose whether or not to return.
I heard about rumpispringa long before the TV show, and watched a little bit of the show just to see some of the details.
You're really stuck on making the Amish the equivalent to the Muzzies, aren't you?
Yeah, it's JUST like rape gangs!

And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
I can't quote it exactly so I'll paraphrase: this falls under how discourse with the Left is impossible because they pretend not to understand things. It's just a tactic. I despise them for it.

Amish and Mennonite communities are all over northeast Ohio, and also anywhere (probably) with good farm land. Even though my family lives cheek by jowl with Amish owned farms I never knew much about them. They've changed, I will say, in that I see Amish riding in truck beds quite frequently now. Never saw that when I was youngrr.

I've been enjoying some of the Amish posts on this thread. I have a good friend who grew up in the Amish community, decided it wasn't for him...and ALSO, when he pointed this out to the elders they suggested he benefit the Amish community in other ways. He (and his brothers) never got baptized to the Amish Church (which signifies remaining)...Instead, he opened up his own contracting business, and eventually became a state politician (who I might add was instrumental in Trump winning PA). You might be able to figure out who it is based on that last tidbit.
My point is this. The Amish lean to the right. Although they dislike the "Chicken Hawk" politicians in either party with vigor. They abhor government over reach in their everyday lives. And, while you and I wish for a smaller government, they wish it to be smaller still.

I'll say this about the Amish... if you're a hunter (especially deer) you don't want them living next to you.
Otherwise, what's not to like?
Wish I had some farmers nearby, instead of an hour away.

Its true. They can ride. Not drive. These days. Power tools - frowned upon, but in the furniture factories they aren't using peddle powered lathes. And they have a computer in the back room.

Speaking of Amish butter churning, there is a Mennonite colony near where I live, and one of the grocery stores here sells their butter.
Delicious butter. I buy it often. Truly something that will cause terror in the eyes of those who have no taste.

I recall an article in Wooden Boat magazine from at least 20 years ago that described large power tools converted to work on compressed air with electric compressors outside the shop. Apparently it's not that electricity itself is haram (SWIDT?) just having it inside the building.

From above, "Imagine if, in the aftermath of 9/11, someone told you within 25 years someone like this would be getting elected in NYC -- would you have believed it?"
Yes. Eight years from the 1st localized bombing to the 2nd, both centered on the NY - DC corridor, aka the Northeast Megalopolis.
Each caused death and destruction. First some, the second massive but how real change and much broader control of the nation be effected without bringing down the infrastructure and having a huge internal war?
Take over NYC, one of the financial capitals of the world. (The other is London and it, too, is falling.) And take the seat of U.S. government, and epicenter of American political power and international diplomacy.
More of an Art of War "invasion" vs. a contemporary military invasion. And that's exactly what's been going on for decades. But thanks to Trump, and thanks to the possibility of a Trump-like successor, there's no option but to become visible.

There is a strict branch that used to have land up by Remus and Mecosta that would turn their backs on you when you drove by, not sure if they still exist but the other Amish sort of respected that.

And who are also very much in line with their fundamental religious beliefs with the rest of the country? They are Christians, if a little heterodox. They believe in self-governance and a common morality, and not submission to Allah.

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Boys in Girls Sports
SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!!
The holding is 6-3, but the three liberals joined with parts of it so parts of it are actually unanimous. Coney-Barrett and Roberts joined the conservatives in this one because this case is about protecting Muh Feminism. Remember, even super-feminist JK Rowling is on the right side of this issue. Note the decision is about state bans on men in girls' sports. It's not about Trump's executive order to deny funds to states that allow men to beat up girls in sports. And it doesn't ban men from girls' sports, just upholds states' rights to ban men from girls' sports.Fox News
@FoxNews
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just handed states a major victory in one of the country's most closely watched culture battles: protecting girls' and women's sports. In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender students from competing in women's and girls' school sports. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing in his opinion, "The term 'sex' in Title IX... cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex... The Court concludes that separate sports teams for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the inherent physical differences between the sexes."
What does this virtue signaling have to do with the actual issue here? Their words -- dicta, it's called, judicial ramblings with no actual precedential power -- will be used by liberal courts to justify the overturning of restrictions on transgenders in bathrooms and the like, claiming that this decision stands for the proposition that transgenders must not be "ostracized or vilified."
The Supreme Court upheld state-level bans on transgender competitors playing girls' sports in Idaho and West Virginia in a landmark decision with major implications for more than half the country where similar policies are in place. In a 6-3 opinion, in which the liberal justices concurred and dissented in part, the high court determined that neither state had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by enacting the bans. But the majority opinion also underscored the importance of treating transgender athletes with respect. "Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Via Ed Morrissey: the key part of the decision.
Two transgender athletes waged similar challenges against the bans, arguing that they flouted equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment and statutory law prohibiting discrimination. ...
The decision in the cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B. P. J., marks the first time the Supreme Court has dealt with the fraught culture war issue of transgender competition in girls' sports.
In assessing the reasonableness of the regulations, we also must recognize the distinctiveness of competitive sports--and the safety and competitive fairness issues that can arise when females are forced to compete against males. With respect to safety, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put women and girls at significant risk of injuries. The safety risks are particularly severe in contact sports. And as to competitive fairness, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put female athletes at a serious disadvantage. That is because sports are generally zero sum. Allowing a biological male athlete to compete on a girls' team necessarily displaces or disadvantages a female athlete--replacing her on the roster, knocking her out of the starting lineup, reducing her playing time, depriving her of a medal, and the like. That hard reality of sports cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. On the contrary, that reality must and does inform interpretation of the term "reasonable" in the Javits Amendment. Whether biological males may participate on women's and girls' sports teams may be a debated policy question. But the legal question for Title IX purposes is whether West Virginia may limit women's and girls' sports teams to biological females. As a matter of text and history, West Virginia may do so.Apparently the three liberals (excluding Coney-Barrett and Roberts) agreed that Title IX plainly speaks of "sex" and not "gender expression" so Title IX cannot be claimed to grant rights to men to beat up girls in sports. But they did find that the Equal Protection Clause just might!

It does not say "transgender girls and women [who are males] can be banned by state law from participating in WOMEN'S SPORTS"... Just that transgenders have been banned...

Stephen Miller is going to write an EO that Trump will sign under the powers properly protected in Hawaii v Trump that all women under 40 are now banned from travel to the United States unless they pass a pregnancy test saying that they are not pregnant.
I don't see this working.
Frankly the Jackson option of ignoring the court would be significantly more likely to succeed. Just keep deporting the kids of illegals.

“A transgender woman penalized for being perceived as aggressive has experienced discrimination "on the basis of sex" just as much as a cisgender woman has, no matter that the transgender woman's behavior matches expectations of her sex assigned at birth."
She is the best parroter of Critical Race Theory in the history of stupid people who have been told what to think, not how to think.

I strongly suspect the votes in all these big cases are horse-traded and negotiated.
"I'll vote with you one this, and you'll have a majority, in exchange for you voting with me on that."
I always suspected this was how the sausage was fucked, but on the Roberts court it seems more obvious.

The illegal inflow is done and has been for more than a year.
Now, it's just the deportation machine (biggest in history before OBBB reinforcements amounting to $150 billion plus the new $70 billion from the recent shutdown win), kicking out everyone here and then building more walls around legal immigration.
Every visa class is down double digits from students to H1-Bs. Trump has travel bans in place for more than 30 countries already and limitations on another 70.
Hawaii v Trump asserted that the president has full authority over immigration. And Trump has been using that authority since January of last year. And the court system has backed him up on everything except the birthright citizenship case.

And beyond a cursory series of questions about maiden names and such, there is no check at all about getting a birth cert.... had to do it for Mom when she was 80 to get Real ID.

And it doesn't ban men from girls' sports, just upholds states' rights to ban men from girls' sports.

A ban is law. I should hope the Court is not making law-like things.
But the Court has already disgraced itself today. They actually cite the opinion of a lower court?!
Judges are the biggest threat to self-rule in America. Bar none.

Probably, but I'd note that the Chief is not guaranteed to be in the majority at any point. Warren Burger was pretty famously unpopular with the other justices and unable to cobble together majorities. The few he did (like on obscenity) created totally unworkable rules.

So there could be "transwomen" but no "transfemales". You can't change your sex.

I don’t understand how this perversion of common sense and law was effected to begin with.
When I was growing up, any male who tried to worm his way into female sports (or the locker room) would have been forcibly ejected. “Get outta here!”.
It couldn’t have been any kind of natural progression or grass-roots thing. Transexuals and crossdressers were a fairly obscure subset. Then, all of a sudden, seemingly overnight it was trannies this, trannies that, trannies everywhere. This is an engineered phenom.
Most disturbing is the medical and science industry professing to not understand basic genetics, psychiatry doing a 180 and the rest of it. Sick beyond word, grooming children. Early molestation is a proven method of screwing over personalities. Termed “trauma based conditioning”.

The core of progressive ideology is that they are god. There is no GOD to them. To them your rights do not come from God, they come from government. So the government can grant, take away, or change them. Ultimately, they deny God every chance they get, because they deny reality. They want to live in a world of their own creation - not God's creation. They are attempting to erect a fantasy construct. Their attempts to control everything, including others who do not agree with them is ultimately not just futile, but also destructively dangerous. It is a wildly neurotic dysfunction (to psychologize it). To use classical terms, they are demonically oppressed, at least.

What passes for “smart” and “educated” these days is pernicious strain of pseudo-intellectualism.
It’s mumbo-jumbo quackery. It used to be quite difficult to be admitted to most if not all colleges and universities. Merely having the scratch was not enough.
You’ll get accused of being “anti intellectual “ but this is a false choice. They are largely imposters, without particular aptitude or experience or demonstrated competence in a given field.
Meritocracy is hated with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Ultimately installing incompetent, unqualified individuals into leadership roles or positions of great responsibility is kind of a kink, consequently.
I did not have this on my radar growing up. I watched with disbelief in some areas of academia, but was naive in the extreme. “Well there’s no way these nutbars will have anything to do in the hard sciences, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, etc. They’d never in a million years allow that sort of nonsense.”
Oops

I don't think there should be any separation at all in sports based on sex. One team...best players make the team (sex is not a qualifying factor).
Though, in today's world, that might seem extreme; it isn't. Instead it is a rebuke on feminism. Men and women are not equal on the court, fiield, or diamond, despite the tripe they've been spouting out over these last six decades.
One team, where anyone is elligible would prove that.
And here's the point that many cringe at because they KNOW it's true. Women's sports in almost every capacity is nothing more than Patronization.

Never could have imagined. 001 percent of the population damn near hijacked science itself.
The trannies didn't hijack science. The forces of evil and ignorance did. They want a superstitious population that they can rule over like priest-kings. They want Zardoz.

"Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Law has nothing to do with feelings. This statement makes you completely disqualified to rule on things pertaining to LAW because what you just said has NOTHING to do with the f*cking decision to NOT let boys beat the shit out of girls.
Lord love a duck we're so incredibly f*cked as a society and a nation going forward.

I doubt Jackson gets promoted to chief.

For now, being the most junior justice, is relegated to the Cafeteria Committee where she gets to listen to complaints about the food, etc. She also is the one that has to open the door in the private conference room where the justices meet. I can almost picture Alito saying "Hey KBJ, didn't you hear the ding-dong of the doorbell? You ding-dong!"

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra warned society faces a frightful "anti-creation" strategy that attacks the pillars of marriage and the family. He cited a private letter from Sister Lúcia of Fatima which stated: "The final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family." The late Italian Cardinal expanded on these threats during public addresses, particularly at the Rome Life Forum. His core warning that Satan was hurling an "ultimate and terrible challenge" at God by attempting to construct an "anti-creation," which strikes specifically at marriage and the family. The Decisive Issue: He often highlighted Sister Lúcia's encouragement that "anyone who works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be fought and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue." Laws and Cultural Shifts: He heavily criticized legislative changes that redefine fundamental building blocks of society, warning against the ennoblement of behaviors contrary to God's design.

Mobs killing local warlords has its uses.
It's not a great unifying force for political action, though. There are real limits.
Iran's GDP has collapsed in half in the last 4 months. It can't import anything anymore even with the MOU because no one wants to port at Bandar Abbas because the IRGC keeps firing on people and has actually stolen the goods from 3 vessels in the last couple of months.
People are probably well into malnutrition and might be outright starving.

I remember the first salvos against J. K. Rowling about a decade ago, on Robert Stacy McCain's blog ("The Other McCain" - AKA the Good One). She was called a TERF - "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist". All because she called a man a man, just as a deer is a deer and is not a horse.
The reason she reads as smug or annoying on her Twitter is because, again, a decade of this. She didn't bend the knee, so she was made a target of Rule #12 - "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." However, she's still here, and she still has her fortune from her creation of the Harry Potter universe. Even if they're trying to Modern-Audience-Remake the hell out of it now.
Considering how many people have their phones surgically attached to their irises nowadays, it was amazing (even magical) to consider how many people, children even, bought her books. To read!
How many folks admitted to college this year cannot even read the whole first page of the first novel? Simply are not able to?

Trump's ability to kill entire visa classes is limited. Certain classes are statutorially outlined and the administration is under the obligation to issue in certain cases (spousal visas, for instance).
Still, his administration is limiting as much as possible. 50% as many green cards issued in the last fiscal year than the previous year under Biden.

Why oh why do so many people feel the need to be liked? I don't care if you are an asshole as long as you make a good decision. Shut up and make a good decision. If you are a plumber who came to unplug my toilet, do not waste time telling me about your charitable contributions, or your volunteer work - you git. You have one job. Do it. And do it quietly. FFS!

Oh yeah. This is the base premise lie of all time -- that you are assigned a sex a birth. Its not like its a diagnosis. Its a recognition of a pre existing fact. You have a cock and balls, or a cooter. Your eyes a blue or brown. Your hair blonde. Those things weren't assigned at birth by your doctor or your parents. Those things, exist, in fact, just like your genitalia. Its not just a name like Bob or Mindy, Queef. FFS.

You saying you couldn't say what a woman was during your confirmation hearing should've gotten you laughed off the planet instead being confirmed as an SC Justice.
That is the most embarrassing moment in US Judicial history, hands down.
You're a f*cking clown, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by a third chromosome.

The biggest disconnect is: It's not assigned.
Your DNA is your build instructions. There is no you without your DNA. Sex is part of your build instructions.
Anything else is colloquial-ludditism.
It's like Dawkins theory of "memes", he said something like "as a gene leaps from body to body, a meme jumps from brain to brain".
It was one of the most incompetent phrasings I've seen. There IS NO "body" to leap to before the combination of DNA makes it.

This is just one more step to disallowing fine men like Scott Weiner to rape young boys, which he must be allowed to do! To ban raping of young boys is homophobic. Men should be allowed to rape young boys in the ass, why is there such a fuss about it?
What, are people secretly in the closet about raping young boys in the ass or something?

That's why I said yesterday, the Court is free to disgrace itself and its "profession".
I think Dred Scott was worse, actually. Taney emptied the whole outhouse for that one. And created a court-amplifying "substantive due process" to boot!
It used to be, as Judge Bork explained, that the people had a role in "due process", it meant decided by whatever process these things are decided.
Then the court decided that it has to have a cut in everything. So "substantive due process" is that almost everything has to be reviewed by a court, using lawyer logic and judge precedent, which the People have remote influence on.

I concur, but there is grant money going out there so that diplomaed academics can peer review shit that bootstraps their concepts into "Science".
Remember the whole "skin-suit wearing" thing.
And then they'll use their leverage in whatever institutions they get into to crowd out the true Scientific understanding of sex.
There are colloquial "realities" that crowd out rigorous understanding. For example, I cited Dawkins "meme theory" above. Most people think a "meme" is a picture with words, and very few know that it was a quasi-sciency notion that Dawkins shat out.

Ro Khanna Promises to Fight the Oligarchs, Tax the Rich, and Imprison "the Epstein Class" While Driving a $190,000 Range Rover, Owning Family Golf Courses, and Taking Elevators In His Mansion
If you've somehow missed this goblinoid, Ro Khanna is running for president. He first attempted to cast himself as a "reasonable" Democrat who believed in the American dream and thought we should transcend racial and gender differences, not dwell on them.
That didn't sell. So Ro Khanna 2.0 joined with Thomas Massie in fighting "the Epstein class," doubling down on identity politics, and dropping his support of business to crusade as a full-bore communist class warrior. But don't notice his immense wealth, which he selfishly hoards for himself and attempts various tax schemes to protect from the IRS.Andrew KerrHis two kids, both younger than 10, own three golf courses? That totally doesn't sound like a tax scam at all!
@AndrewKerrNC
NEW: @FreeBeacon
has the receipts on Ro Khanna's obscene, oligarchic wealth: --his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding) --his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover --his house has a 4-story indoor elevator
Steve GuestThe Free Beacon:
@SteveGuest Must read exposé: "How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses." "Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer."
Oh, I thought he was some kind of tech mogul who at least earned his money, which would explain his previous support of tech moguls who earn fortunes. But nope, he just married the rich girl and inherited her father's money. He is, as Hercule Poirot might say, a cold-hearted adventurer who seduced his way into a fortune.
'Ro' Me the Money! How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses.
Khanna's ultra-wealthy family depends on the same kind of secretive financial accounting and unearned wealth that he criticizes on the stump

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer. A Washington Free Beacon investigation into Khanna's finances finds that the progressive truthteller's lifestyle is funded by his wife, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, an heiress to her father's Cleveland auto parts fortune.
An analysis of Khanna's financial disclosures reveals his gilded life is enriched by the same sort of investment vehicles that Khanna has said he has a "moral" duty to oppose and that Khanna's family is a beneficiary of the "New Gilded Age" he condemns. Khanna's family wealth comes from his father in law, Monte Ahuja, an Indian-born, Cleveland auto parts magnate turned investor and philanthropist. Like many of the global ultra-rich with generational wealth, Ahuja has set up various trusts and other financial models to benefit his children and grandchildren. These complex financial structures are deliberately opaque, but Khanna, as a member of Congress, is legally required to disclose his family's financial affairs to the public. This visibility, however, has been somewhat obscured by Khanna's decision to file his financial disclosures in the old analog format, effectively rendering it immune to a thorough examination without the use of sophisticated data analysis tools. In 2024, Khanna's financial disclosures clocked in at 333 pages of non-text-searchable tables, listing over 3,000 individual assets owned by him, his wife, and his children, with each asset having ticked one of 13 available boxes corresponding to an asset valuation range. Put together, those assets are worth anywhere from $103 million to more than $340 million, according to a Free Beacon review. It's possible that the net worth of Khanna's nuclear family could far exceed $340 million. He reported a total of 10 assets held by his wife and two children--including the stakes they hold in three golf clubs--as simply being worth more than $1 million with no disclosed ceiling. For his two young children, Khanna reported in 2024 they own between $26 million and more than $73 million in irrevocable trusts, a wealth transfer vehicle that could shield them from future inheritance taxes. Khanna's wife purchased the couple's current Washington, D.C., home through one of her trusts in 2020 for $3.15 million, real estate records show. The house, which is located in an enclave of newly constructed luxury homes in Northwest D.C., is less than a mile from a private school for young children, which counted Khanna's wife as a member of its parents association through 2023.

"While Driving a $190,000 Range Rover"
That's it? Just a RR? There is a RR on every other block in Manhattan. They barely make a dent in the ceiling of the really rich.
I would think a status-conscious woman with such immense wealth would be in a Cullinan, Bentayga, or Urus.

Please oh please let Rho Khanna be the dem nominee in 28. That would be popcorn time… guaranteed Vance (or Rubio or DeSantis) win
Don’t get me wrong; the retard would get gobs of votes because we have gobs of retards voting (and gobs of fake ballots). But as close to an assured win as is possible in the country these days. Reagan 84 landslides not gonna happen again in my lifetime anyway…

Interesting theory - NPR announced that Alioto was retiring, and then quickly retracted the story.
Did Alioto tell the person who he suspects of being the Supreme Court leaker this, just to see if it would leak?

Same, but the RR specifically is the name with the cachet so that's what women go for. Car guys know about the other 3, Karen who runs your HOA doesn't.

and Imprison "the Epstein Class"
I find it amusing that the people that want to legalize paying a 17 year old (boy) for a beejer also use this phrase "The Epstein Class" as if to refer to others
The Epstein documents show a bunch of celebs, academics and leftwing pols associating with Epstein in various ways...but they don't mean these people - a couple of these academics faced minor consequences and the left's argument was this was a violation of those "Epstein Class" member's rights to free association and speech...

Khanna moved to California in late 2003, near as I can tell, having been raised in the Philly area and attended college at University of Chicago (Where fun goes to die") and Yale Law School (of course). He tried to run for Congress immediately, failed, worked for a couple of law firms for a few years and then taught part-time after his marriage in 2015. He moved to Washington soon thereafter, having finally got into Congress in 2017.
So his brief sojurn in California got him a job, and his wife got him FU money.
His FIL must really be disappointed in him, since he is a well-known GOP donor and big supporter of capitalism.

The other "tell" that he's deliberately circumventing the letter and spirit of the law is that he's submitting them as "analog" format. In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric. Those are then being submitted in physical form and then some other poor schmuck turns them into non-OCR PDFs (images) for digital archiving.
Though there are some wonderful tools that can turn images like that into a fully readable document now, thanks in part to AI.

The Urus is a tarted-up Audi Q6 and is driven by finance bros who happened to have kids with their trophy wife.

RR is British too -- or at least as British as Rollie (owned by BMW) or Bentley (owned by VW).
Urus is on the same platform as the Q8. Finance bros get the Revuelto or Temerario. The Urus is for the older guys and rich housewives to drive when they need more space than the Revo or Teme. A new Urus performance model is being launched tomorrow. Probably north of $500k.

67 I have to admit, it is weird seeing Jews with names like "Dovid" or "Davide". I don't remember them growing up.
I mean, if you want to pronounce DavEEeed in front of your peers, go for it, but why make me memorize your name in print. I'm probably going to be forgetting your face anyway because I gotta deal with pretentious buffoons elsewhere.

And I'd correct them. There's no E at the end of my name. Say it right. Plus, you know, you're in an English class.

They were both in agreement about a 100% tax on the rich - but arguing about whether it should apply to individuals over $500k or $250k annual income.

The Soviet collectivization of agriculture is a study of just how fucking moronic Socialists are. “Kulaks” was one term.
You will own nothing, and they will kill you for merely pointing out “Hey, maybe this isn’t going to work, guys”. Naturally, it didn’t. Epic famine and starvation - millions died in Ukraine, some of the best farmland on the planet, due to starvation.
The Bolsheviks needed hard currency, so what little Wheat that was produced was diverted for Export. Possession of a single wheat berry would get you shot, family exiled to a gulag.

If you talk with leftwingers they are all onboard with the notion of a 100% tax on anyone that makes more then them.
And it is funny if a wealthier leftist starts talking with a less wealthy one because the former might start with "People that make more then $1M a year should be taxed at 100%" while the poorer one wants it at $100K which would hit the wealthier one...

Trump was wealthy, but that's not why he won.
He won because he said the unsayable and got airtime for the message to get out. The media propped him up because they thought he would destroy the GOP, and the GOP was happy to oblige because there was no one the GOP hated more in 2015 than the base.
He said things people agreed with but no one else in the race (save Cruz in some instances) would come close to saying.
Remember when Scott Walker was going to be the Trump killer? He was going to take his great success in WI and just float to an easy 2nd place in the polls without trying. Building on his likeable charm and boringness combined with policy wins at the state level to appeal to the voters.
And then he went from "hard-nosed union fighter" to "wishy-washy say-nothing but definitely don't mean it on the most important issue of the day, immigration".

Upper caste Indian women are the most oppressed people in the world because of British colonialism.
A town I lived in had one black family but had a massive influx of Indians.
One of the black family's kids got in trouble for fighting at school and suddenly there was an "anti-racism" group arguing the school was racist and picking on the kid and the group was all Indian women.
Once the issue with the kid faded this new "anti-racism" group changed to arguing the town had to pay for Indian celebrations like Diwali and such hiring the businesses of those Indian women's husbands to provide the decorations/food/etc...
Funny how all this works huh?

Trump did not win because of build the wall. That is a highly questionable distillation of what happened in 2016.
Trump won principally because he understands marketing and branding AND how to fight. Better than anyone in politics.
He also had a major gap created by the America Hating Democrats and Lying Republicans (BIRM) and decided to take ownership of every scrap they tried to leave behind.
Trump knew how to speak, how to stand behind his words and most of all how to win. It didn't hurt that he can be quite entertaining when he speaks. Build the wall was part of that but only a part.

Exactly. A founder sees his business grow then looks for a way to extract the money for his children.
The big target for these firms is now HVAC companies with staffs who have real life experience and can charge increasing amounts. The payout for the originators of a couple local firms has been staggering.

If you read the article, you'll see this is all driven by the wife's father. I seriously doubt Ro has any say in it. He definitely married into it and of course doesn't want these wealth redistribution policies applied to him / his family. But I'm pretty sure he didn't have a direct hand in how anything is structured, and it doesn't sound like much or anything is in his name. The father-in-law made all the money and is deciding how to tax-shield it (and create a dynasty of self-loathing uber-wealth leftists to try to destroy a self-determining society to keep themselves on top; in a fair world, the kids would eat him alive while he still had his faculties; only fair for Dr. Frankenstein to face his creations)

Consultants don't buy up these firms, they get hired to run or advise them by PE firms, who are the buyers. Consultants spread "best practices" and act as a buffer for taking blame for decisions management wants to make. Sometimes best practices are really better, sometimes they're a fad.
Buying a business and destroying it is a losing proposition, but there are incentives to take lots of risk and use lots of debt.

It does okay, some years better than others. But has managed to expand massively because it has massive name recognition and can secure lots of money in loans due to lots and lots of brick and mortar collateral. Ooops. Overextended? Well we'll have to break this up a bit to get out from under - lets do sale and lease back of some of our brick and mortar. We can avoid real estate taxes, but trade for rent but also get an influx of cash now. (Did i not mention i have an interest in the company that is going to do the sale an leaseback arrangement?? Trifles) Oh, oopsy, we are still underwater, well maybe we should sell part of our operations to Hospital Corp of America . . . ( I mean its not like I have any interest in them either maybe some stock . . .) Do you think these things don't happen?

Of Course: The Five Liberal Supreme Court Justices (Including Liberals Roberts and Coney-Barrett) Decide the 14th Amendment Can Go Blow, Anyone Born in the US is a US Citizen
The Five Horsemen make a mockery of the law yet again.
That's the full awful left-wing holding. The liberals make two extraordinary claims. First, they claim that the 14th Amendment is based on the ancient British rule of the king being sovereign over anyone born in his lands. But even there they're forced to admit that that rule did not confer full jurisdiction over the person -- and it's silly to claim the one is based on the other anyway, as Thomas points out in his dissent. The other absurd horse they ride is that the Dred Scott decision was bad bad terra-bad and therefore, they seem to believe, they are required to create a fake rule that is 1000% the opposite of that. But that was taken care of -- the 14th Amendment was adopted precisely to repudicate Dred Scott and declare that former slaves born in the US, who also are not subject to any other jurisdiction but the US -- former slaves have no homeland or nation they owe primary allegiance to -- are US citizens. So why even discuss Dred Scott? It was specifically repudiated and has nothing to say about the Amendment adopted specifically to repudiate it. But they spend a huge chunk of their opinion discussing it because their own arguments are weak so they have to set up a straw-man -- if we don't adopt this fake rule and ignore the "subject to the jurisdiction" qualifier of the 14th Amendment, we're essentially re-implementing Dred Scott and that's just terrible, right?And Alito's dissent:
JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE GORSUCH joins,
dissenting. This Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How.
393 (1857), would have permanently denied citizenship to
blacks as "a subordinate and inferior class." Id., at 404--
405. After the Civil War, the Reconstruction Congress over-
ruled Dred Scott, first with the Civil Rights Act of 1866,
then with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause
guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the
United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed
citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United
States. Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were
Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no alle-
giance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other
authority. They "fought and bled in the same battles,"
"gained and gloried in the same victories," and were "liable
to be called upon to defend [America] in time of war" along-
side every other citizen. 2 Life and Writings of Frederick
Douglass 256, 266 (P. Foner ed. 1950) (Douglass). The Cit-
izenship Clause thus guaranteed them the "dignity and
glory of American citizenship," so as to ensure that they
would never be treated as second class under the law.
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537, 555 (1896) (Harlan, J.,
dissenting). The same could not be said for the children of foreign tem-
porary visitors. Foreign temporary visitors were attached
to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country,
and would not be called upon in time of war. Americans,
consistent with their settler ethos, believed that citizens
were the people who called a place home. Accordingly, dom-
icile--a person's legal home--played a key role in both state
and national citizenship in America. A person was a "citi-
zen" of the state where he had his "domicil." Barber v. Bar-
ber, 21 How. 582, 599 (1859). When foreigners temporarily
visited, their "national character" was unchanged. The Ve-
nus, 8 Cranch 253, 278--279 (1814). Such visitors were
"strangers," not "subjects." Id., at 278. A person born here
but domiciled in a foreign land was therefore considered "as
much a stranger to the country as his father." 1 H. St.
George Tucker, Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia 57
(1836) (Tucker). That is why, when Dred Scott went to court, he argued
that to be a "citizen," "it is only necessary that he should
have acquired a domicil." Brief for Plaintiff in Dred Scott v.
Sandford, D. T. 1855, No. 7, p. 6. (Brief for Dred Scott). Af-
ter this Court held that Scott was not a citizen because he
was black, Republicans in Congress, such as Representa-
tive John Bingham, stated that a person was a citizen if he
was "born and domiciled" in the United States. Cong.
Globe, 35th Cong., 2d Sess., 983 (1859). Scott was a citizen,
in their view, because he was born to Americans, not to
"temporary sojourners." Cong. Globe, 35th Cong., 1st Sess.,
210 (185
had put it, the freedmen sought citizenship "not as aliens
nor as exiles," but as "Americans." 2 Douglass 255 (empha-
sis added). Congress implemented the principle that citizenship fol-
lows birth and domicile in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and
then in the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. The Civil Rights Act guaranteed citizenship to per-
sons who were both "born in the United States" and, as rel-
evant here, "not subject to any foreign power." Act of Apr.
9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27. The phrase "not subject to any foreign
power" excluded from citizenship children of foreign tempo-
rary visitors, who were subject to the power of their home
nation. See, e.g., The Pizarro, 2 Wheat. 227, 246 (1817); The
Venus, 8 Cranch, at 278--279. The Citizenship Clause,
which the same Congress passed shortly after the Civil
Rights Act, was understood to have the same meaning. It
guaranteed citizenship to persons who were both "born . . .
in the United States" and "subject to the jurisdiction
thereof." Amdt. 14, §1. A person was subject to the jurisdiction of the govern-
ment of his domicile. "Domicil" was "the foundation of ju-
risdiction over persons." 1 T. Twiss, The Law of Nations
239 (1861) (Twiss). The government of a person's domicile
had broad power over that person, including with respect to
his personal affairs, his conduct abroad, his personal taxes,
and the mutual duties of protection and allegiance. So, as
the Senator who introduced the Citizenship Clause ex-
plained, "the word 'jurisdiction,' as here employed, ought to
be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction
. . . the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to
every citizen of the United States now." Cong. Globe, 39th
Cong., 1st Sess., 2895 (1866) (statement of Sen. Howard).
After all, Congress "would have no right to make citizens"
of "persons temporarily resident." Id., at 572 (statement of
Sen. Trumbull). The Citizenship Clause was consistently interpreted not
to apply to the children of foreign temporary visitors, who
were by definition not domiciled in the United States. Re-
gardless of administration or party, the Federal Govern-
ment for decades after ratification regularly denied claims
to citizenship by children who were born in the United
States but not domiciled here. When a child was "born" in
the United States to parents "domiciled" abroad, he was
"not, therefore, under the statute and the Constitution a
citizen of the United States by birth." Letter from Sec. of
State T. Bayard to B. Winchester (Nov. 28, 1885), in 2 F.
Wharton, Digest of International Law 399--400 (2d ed.
1887) (Wharton Digest). Scholars agreed: A child "born
within the territory of the United States, of alien parents"
was not a citizen unless his parents were "permanently
domiciled within the United States." W. Robinson, Notes
on Elementary Law 70 (1875). This Court agreed: The Cit-
izenship Clause "exclude[d] from its operation children of
. . . citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the
United States." Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 73
(1873). And, Congress agreed: The Citizenship Clause did
not extend to a child born here but "subject to any foreign
power." See Enforcement Act of 1870, §18, 16 Stat. 144
(reenacting Act of Apr. 9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27). As Justice
Harlan would write in his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163
U. S. 537, the Citizenship Clause "gave citizenship to all
born or naturalized in the United States and residing here."
Id., at 563 (emphasis added). The Court offers a different account. American citizen-
ship, the Court says, was based on a medieval English "feu-
dal" principle, according to which each person "owed per-
sonal service to the lord of the soil" as his "master"--a
perpetual servitude that was "born with the child and only
ended in the grave." 2 Cong. Rec. 3282 (1874) (statement of
Rep. Cox). Americans, the Court says, adopted this feudal
principle as a rule of American citizenship "with little fan-
fare." Ante, at 4. Then, according to the Court, the Recon-
struction Congress codified that feudal principle with the
words "not subject to any foreign power" in the Civil Rights
Act and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof " in the Citizen-
ship Clause. Then, the Court says, the Clause's meaning
was definitively settled by dicta in United States v. Wong
Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649 (189
accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle. The Court's theory of American citi-
zenship is based on the opinion of a New York assistant vice
chancellor in an inheritance dispute called Lynch v. Clarke,
1 Sand. Ch. 583, 584--585 (N. Y. Ch. 1844). Ante, at 6--10.
But, the assistant vice chancellor's reasoning, whatever it
was worth, was not even followed in New York by the time
of the Citizenship Clause. Finally, the Court reasons that
dicta in Wong Kim Ark settled the meaning of the Clause.
But, Wong Kim Ark itself emphasized that its holding was
limited to persons domiciled in the United States. And,
scholars and government officials continued to agree after
Wong Kim Ark that the Citizenship Clause did not extend
to the children of foreign temporary visitors. The rule re-
mained what it always was: A child born on American soil
of "a stranger or traveler passing through the country, or
temporarily residing here," was "not a citizen." H. Black,
Handbook of American Constitutional Law 634 (3d ed.
1910). The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding
facially unconstitutional the President's Order excluding
from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors
and illegal aliens. In doing so, the Court adds to the sad
history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed
and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks
but has instead been repurposed for political projects that
the Reconstruction Congress did not support. Because
many potential applications of the President's Order are
consistent with the original public meaning of the Citizen-
ship Clause, I respectfully dissent.
JUSTICE ALITO, dissenting. This is one of the most important decisions in the historyAlito makes some strong points about the majority of liberals' insane claim that a rule of the British monarchy deciding who was a subject of the king's tyrannical power should dictate the rule of the American democracy about who is granted the rights and priviliges of citizenship. Subjecthood and citizenship aren't the same, you know.
of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a
serious mistake. As interpreted by the Court today, the
Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on virtually
everyone who happens to be born in this country, including
the children of "birth tourists," women who come here solely
for the purpose of giving birth to a child and then promptly
return home. Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows
that it does not degrade the concept of United States citi-
zenship in this way. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment
confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe
allegiance solely to this country. Respecting this interpretation would not require uproot-
ing the millions of children who were born here to mothers
who entered or remained in this country illegally. Those
children are not responsible for their parents' violation of
our immigration laws, and their plight is the result of a long
period during which a coterie of actors--Executive Branch
officials, States and cities, and a variety of private groups--
sent the message to would-be immigrants that our
immigration laws should not be taken too seriously. This
message, coupled with ineffective or unenthusiastic en-
forcement, spurred massive illegal immigration and the
growth of a large contingent of people who were born here
to mothers unlawfully present in this country. Some mem-
bers of this group have lived here for years, and they have
a strong moral claim to be able to remain in the land where
they grew up. Congress can and should address their situation. The
Fourteenth Amendment dictates who must be a citizen, but
it does not address who may be a citizen by Act of Congress.
Congress has conferred citizenship on many people who are
not made citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, including
children born abroad to American citizen parents. These
people and the millions of immigrants who have been natu-
ralized are no less American than those who are fortunate
enough to be born here. For these reasons, the original meaning of the Fourteenth
Amendment does not require inhumane results, and we
should not adopt an erroneous interpretation of the Four-
teenth Amendment simply out of fear of the consequences
of "rocking the boat" or as a reaction to current immigration
policy. Nor should we take the position that our hands are tied
by dicta in a sprawling 19th-century opinion that is, to put
the point gently, very far from a model of careful judicial
craftsmanship. Too much is at stake. United States citizenship is precious. Anyone who has
attended a ceremony where citizens are naturalized can see
that message on the faces of those who take the citizenship
oath. Before saddling the Nation with a medieval rule, we
had better be certain the Constitution requires it.
The Court's account of the birthright-citizenship rule in
American law is roughly as follows. After American inde-
pendence, the British rule of birthright subjecthood was
modified in just one way (to take account of Indians who
lived under tribal governance), but otherwise the rule was
transplanted intact to American soil. As modified, the rule
was that a child born in this country is automatically an
American citizen unless the child is born to tribal Indians
or to a diplomat with immunity from legal process. During
the period before the Civil War, the rule's status was firm.
After the war, Congress codified the rule in §1 of the Four-
teenth Amendment. And in United States v. Wong Kim Ark,
169 U. S. 649 (189
confirming what Congress had done.
Every step of this story is incorrect. The Declaration of
Independence repudiated the foundation on which the Brit-
ish rule was based. See infra, at 5. From 1776 until the eve
of the Civil War, the status of the rule in this country was
unsettled. There is no evidence establishing that the Con-
stitution's references to citizens incorporated the British
rule, infra, at 5--8, and until the eve of the Civil War, there
was little litigation about the meaning of American citizen-
ship, infra, at 9--11. After the war, Congress finally adopted
a constitutional provision, §1 of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment, making certain persons citizens at birth, but that
provision differed substantially from the British rule. It
specified that a person born here is not a citizen unless his
allegiance to the United States is unimpaired by any obli-
gations to a foreign power. Infra, at 11--22. And while
Wong Kim Ark included dicta suggesting that the Four-
teenth Amendment incorporates the British rule, its actual
holding was much narrower, infra, at 22--28, and under
that interpretation, respondents' challenge to Executive
Order No. 14160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of
American Citizenship, fails, infra, at 36--39. I A According to the Court, the Fourteenth Amendment's Cit-
izenship Clause codified the British rule of birthright
subjecthood with only one new exception, which was needed
to accommodate the unique status of American Indians.
That is a curious claim, and it is ironic that the Court
should embrace it only days before we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, which em-
phatically renounced the foundation on which the British
rule rested.
That rule did not concern "citizenship." There was no
such thing as a "citizen" of England, Scotland, or Ireland.
The inhabitants of the British Isles were the King's "sub-
jects." As Sir Edward Coke explained in Calvin's Case, 7
Co. Rep. 1a, 77 Eng. Rep. 377 (K. B. 160
that status automatically at birth, and they retained it, like
it or not, until they died. Id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382;
see id., at 9b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 388 (even a subject who ab-
jures the realm "oweth the King his ligeance"). This status
arose from a feudal understanding of the origin of govern-
mental authority and the relationship between those who
govern and those who are governed. The King's authority
was understood to come from God. Id., at 12b--13a, 77 Eng.
Rep., at 390--391. As Coke put it, a King ruled by the law
of nature. Ibid. And birth established the bond between
King and subject, id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382, just as
birth establishes the bond between parent and child.
In Calvin's Case, the question was whether a man born
in Scotland was a subject of King James I of England, who
acceded to the thrones of both Scotland and England before
the man's birth. Id., at 2a, 77 Eng. Rep., at 379. In a fa-
mous speech to Parliament, James I forcefully explained his
views about the source of his authority and his relationship
with his subjects. The King, he proclaimed, sits "upon
GOD[']s throne" and is the "father of his people." March 21,
1609 A Speach to the Lords and Commons of the Parlia-
ment at White-Hall, in The Political Works of James I,

Well this sucks. We need a real conservative justice to at least win most of these 5-4.
Eric Schmitt will introduce a Constitutional amendment to wipe away this stain:
Senator Eric Schmitt
@SenEricSchmitt
The Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision is wrong, dangerous, and disastrous for American sovereignty and the American people. If we can't fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution and restore American citizenship. We must again put "We the People" first. The Supreme Court's decision constitutionalizing unlimited birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and temporarily present aliens is wrong--and disastrous for our sovereignty and the future of our republic. The decision exposes America to grave national security risks and threatens to erode the integrity of the core of American self-government: citizenship. Citizenship is more than paperwork issued by the government. It is more than a bureaucratic label that grants access to government programs. Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people. In a republic like ours, that bond carries enormous weight. In the United States, sovereignty does not belong to a king or a ruling class. It belongs to the American people themselves. Citizenship defines the legal recognition of who the American people are. Citizenship defines the political community that governs the United States. It defines who exercises the sovereign authority of this republic. But under the Supreme Court's erroneous interpretation, the Constitution now requires citizenship for anyone who happens to be born on U.S. soil. Even if their parents entered the country illegally. In other words, even if the American people--the citizenry--have prohibited those parents from entering our territory. Even if they are here only temporarily as tourists or on student visas. Even if they have no intention of joining the American nation. That is a dramatic departure from how serious nations understand citizenship. Under the Supreme Court's decision, citizenship no longer reflects allegiance or loyalty to a country and its laws. It becomes an administrative status to be seized by interlopers. This ruling is the final alarm bell. The bond of American citizenship has slowly eroded through a series of Supreme Court opinions, congressional actions and inactions, and circumstances the Framers of our Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment could not have foreseen. The result is a constitutional order in which the American people are losing control over the most basic question in any republic: who belongs to the political community that governs the nation. This has been the central fight of my work in this important year for American national identity. I led an amicus brief in this very case. I convened a hearing on birthright citizenship and the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. I have pressed this issue because citizenship is the threshold question of the republic. If we lose control of citizenship, we lose control of self-government itself. In the wake of an erroneous Supreme Court ruling like this one, Congress has a duty to examine the Constitution's text, the historical record, and the policy consequences. Congress also has the power to respond. When the Court mistakenly interprets a statute, Congress can amend the statute through bicameralism and presentment. But when the Court entrenches its mistake as a constitutional command, the remedy must match the injury. Congress can propose an amendment under Article V, and the states can ratify it. That process is purposefully difficult. It requires two-thirds of each chamber of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. Here, the Supreme Court issued a constitutional ruling. Ordinary legislation cannot repair the damage. A constitutional amendment is now required. Accordingly, I will be announcing a forthcoming constitutional amendment to restore the sacred bond between American citizens and their government. That amendment will restore the original American understanding of citizenship. It will restore the right of the American people to define their own political community. And it will ensure that citizenship once again reflects allegiance, permanence, and membership in the American nation. This amendment accords with the text, history, and tradition of the Constitution and the American conception of citizenship. It restores the principle embodied in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the law that formed the basis for the Fourteenth Amendment. As my amicus brief in this case explained, the law contained a citizenship provision establishing that "all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power" would be granted birthright citizenship. That provision was understood to grant birthright citizenship to children born of parents domiciled in the United States while clearly excluding children born to foreign parents temporarily visiting the United States. And as my brief recounts, the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted to constitutionalize the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The original American understanding of citizenship was never a suicide pact. It was never a weapon for illegal entry, temporary presence, demographic conquest, or foreign influence. Left unaddressed, this Supreme Court decision will destroy the republic. A nation that cannot determine who belongs to its political community will lose control of its sovereignty and its unique character and traditions as new generations of unassimilated foreigners are automatically granted citizenship. We have seen exactly what this process looks like as foreign communists have essentially taken over New York City politics. We cannot allow this Supreme Court decision to consign the rest of our nation to the same fate. Today is a sad day in the history of our republic. But America and the Constitution have survived for 250 years because each generation has had patriots who, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, valiantly fought back the existential threats this great nation has faced. Our generation's existential threat is a hostile takeover through mass migration. We must--and we will--honor the patriots who came before us by doing our part to ensure we pass on America, the Constitution, and our nation--the real versions, not desiccated husks. That work begins with restoring the right of the American people to decide who joins the political community that governs the United States and exercises the people's sovereignty.

I have no idea how they grappled with the fact that hundreds of thousands of American Indians were born in the United States without becoming United States citizens, until the 1920s.
Prior to the 1920s, most tribes were sovereign - if you were Sioux, you were a citizen of the Sioux Nation, not the United States.
There was a naturalization process for Indians to become US citizens, if they wished, but it wasn't a given.

The Birthright decision makes no sense, is not what the intent of the amendment is as expressed by the writers of the amendment and is a wholly made concoction of the courts.
I see no way forward except the implementation of strenuous and rigorous immigration and border enforcement and the immediate expulsion of any foreign woman in the custody of the United States to either their home country or to a location outside of the country to await any proceedings and proceedings will be conducted via CCTV.

Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people.
-
It should be.
It isn't because we have tolerated far too many people, especially these courts, who do not share the founding values of this country, nor it's allegiance to God as the source of the Rights we claim, to continue to live among us.
That needs to stop. Deport the illegals. Exile the progressives. Execute any who don't leave voluntarily.
It probably won't have to go that far if they believe we're willing to go that far, but our current insistence on going along to get along just cannot continue.

Why? The "German" team is no longer German, but is rather multinational, and the resulting poor quality of play is symbolic of what has been happening to Germany as a whole.

The support isn't there, so I don't see it happening anytime soon. However, the 26th amendment was passed after only 100 days. That's the one that lowered the voting age to 18 in the 1970s. From the time it passed Congress until the states ratified it: 100 days.
If the support is there, it can happen quickly.

>>> If we can't fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution and restore American citizenship. We must again put "We the People" first.
Trump needs to order all U.S. bound pregnant women turned around and otherwise women provide a negative pregnancy test result as a condition of entry. Furthermore, all women illegals must be immediately rounded up and detained for expedited removal as threat to national security.
I am not joking.

This here from the dissent:
"Foreign temporary visitors were attached to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country, and would not be called upon in time of war."
Uh, all male U.S. citizens are required by law to register with the Selective Service System. This applies even if they're overseas.
The usual (and lamentable) 5-year statute of limitations applies, so I'm sure the Chinese and Muslim anchor boys know enough not to "return" to their "native land" to do their mischief until they're 30 years old.
But we could still start enforcing this wherever possible.

There was a flurry briefly by NPR falsely stating that Alito was retiring.
I posit to you: do we really need to replace the next outgoing Justice? The left keeps talking about "packing the Court", how about "shrinking the court". Make all ideological rulings 6-6 and stalemate the Court if it can't property make a ruling. It cannot be any worse than it is now, can it?

Despite all the other wins, this one in many ways was the most important. Sure, smashing independent agencies, giving Trump the power to fire subordinates, and stopping Hawaii's "vampire law" for gun owners are all important, but screwing up birthright citizenship in many ways makes things moot, and it can change the nation's demographics and voter base, which changes politics and politicians supported, eventually changing the nation and culture.

The only good news from this clusterfuck of a decision is that it doesn't change anything.
We've been living in a world of unlimited birthright citizenship for 100 years. No president -- not even conservative heroes like Reagan -- would touch it. Trump took a shot. He missed.
We have lost nothing. We are where we were 24 hours ago. Sure, if we won it would have been Absolutely Fucking Yuge.

But when the Court entrenches its mistake as a constitutional command, the remedy must match the injury. Congress can propose an amendment under Article V, and the states can ratify it. That process is purposefully difficult. It requires two-thirds of each chamber of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states.

*shrugs*
This Court decison was predictable in the same way as the sturm und drang in the Congress about SAVE.
There is always a push and pull in a system like ours. Institutions will throw the occasional treat to the subject classes, particularly if they're looking restive, today.
But they'll sooner kill the Gracchi brothers or lock up Donald Trump than give an inch toward a populist reform that limits their power, today.
Anchor babies and vote fraud are both core & salient features of our ruling class' Current Year Project, and they won't countenance any contradiction from the Court or Congress, and these ruling class Institutions wish to remain ruling class Institutions, so they won't offer it.

So...what now?
Along with the moslem infection there is a narrowing gap of survival.
Sorry Fenlonspoke, but the harsh truth is violence will likely come from all that do-goodery of the recent past. Probably for carving out an island of retreat if nothing else.
What solutions to the on-going troubles do any Morons have? More talky talk? Some hopes and prayers? Putting our future in the Hands of the Almighty for a just and right end?
What? If not that, what?
The moslems will not confer and discuss, they will begin anew to bleed the US and dance and shout. The moss-kuh building projects will start and they will gleefully use Christian churches as anchors for the New Middle East. Your asses will be in the air five times a day and you'll LIKE it you raysis or you'll be enslaved or dead.
"Not aaallll..." Spare me the explanations of population assortment, please. The US is going exactly the way of Yerrp and the UK and I don't see a plan to prevent it.

This case was always going to be an uphill climb. The text of the 14th amendment is pretty non-restrictive aside from Indians. You have to go into the same kind of weeds liberals use to deny the plain text of the 2nd amendment to make the 14th mean what we want.
Relying on SCOTUS to fix Congress' century-long refusal to do their fucking job is not the solution.

Not quite, because the decision referred to the amendment itself. Even if Congress passed a law restricting birthright citizenship per our wishes, how would it even be granted cert? "We already decided that." The fundamental is already settled.
But I also don't know much about try, try again in this context.

Hey America, Celebrate 250 Years.
We had a good run. I feel highly blessed that for that flash of human history that only a few hundred million people could enjoy a true High Trust, prosperous and freedom loving country
that tens of billions of people over the span of world history never got to really experience, that I was here for the majority of my life to enjoy it.
Now returning to the Thousand Years of Darkness as the last bastion of high trust society (save perhaps Japan - for now) that all of Creation has had to endure since expulsion from The Garden.

The United States of America stands in the way. And because it stands in the way, it must be destroyed.
It is altogether too powerful, rich and free. Its people are straightforward, industrious, largely content, and barring grievous provocation, peaceful. When roused, there is no force on earth that can contend against us when we are angry and united in purpose.
So, our destruction is to be carried out from within.
God willing, the people will be roused, and will motivate the frauds who "represent" us to change the ridiculous situation that now permits our enemies to claim citizenship, diluting not only our rights as actual citizens, but forever tarnishing the glory of US citizenship.

I think the tax code is the way to address at least some of this.
Congress has wide latitude on passing tax legislation, usually just needs a bare majority. Not the 60+ Senators.
Tax the fuck out of any foreigner that touches our soil. If they have a kid here, that's a tax. Our tax code has all sorts of provisions for people living abroad.
This has ALWAYS been about money for these people. You take away that incentive and these people wont be a problem.

It means nothing because the citizenship of those children were not at issue. Those children have parents who are citizens. They are citizens under a section of the constitution not in dispute. A legally adopted child is absolutely no different than a child who was biologically born to the adoptive parents. This includes their birth certificates listing the parents and there is zero notation of an adoption on a birth certificate.

This isn't even a congress thing anymore, SCOTUS has ruled that anyone born in the US regardless of circumstances is a US Citizen as enshrined in the 14th.
Forget about amendments, that's not happening, ever.
So again, the only way forward is rigorous interior, border and visa enforcement.

Birthright citizenship, as it is currently applied, rests on a court decision to mean “any child born in the US under any circumstances”. The interpretation of ‘resident’ is wildly broad. This is currently insanity, when illegal aliens and citizens of other countries deliberately come here to drop children with US citizenship. There’s a statistic I’ve seen where China alone will have a million children with US voting rights in a few years.
The Trump EO was and is not the proper vehicle for revising the existing interpretation, but I had hoped the ensuing court case would. The oral arguments seemed to miss the point, and possibly the entire case before the Supremes was too narrow to alter the existing interpretation.
IMO, the Constitutional amendment is fine as written, the interpretation of resident is insane. We have too much of congress that has been bought by globalists to fix the situation by either legislation or amendment. If this court couldn’t see the need to fix this issue, I fear it remains unfixable.

157 I guess if Roe vs Wade can be overturned, so can this. But by then it will be too late.
But the posters are correct in that Congress can't really "undo" this if its considered a constitutional right by the 14th amendment.
Thats why this ruling is so nasty.
Posted by: Sharpie
Technically, a future court could overturn the decision because the whole 14th Birthright issue was irrelevant to the core holding that the President may not dictate birthright citizenship via an executive order. Thus, obiter dicta on the rest of the blathering by the majority.
So a future court, COULD, mind you, distinguish this decision from a future one if Congress passes a law. Immigration and naturalization is a plenary power of Congress, not the courts. If Congress even wanted to, it could also do a Bricker amendment stripping the Court of any jurisdiction in immigration cases (see Ex Parte McCardle).
But the current limp dicked Senate majority under Thune would never even consider it nor would it blow up the filibuster over it. Corporations want their cheap ass labor yo.

Hell. They don't see the other half of their counties abutting on those cities because they're too busy with environmental issues like grabbing more "greenery" natural land zone buffers, greenway paths, reconstructing round-a-bouts in roads through their towns to make them so much slower to navigate and therefore undesirable for travel. (A Buttigieg stunt in Indiana.)
Oh, and separating major state roads for bike paths, ergo the non-elite can almost NOT drive for fear of striking gig workers, environmentalists, and children that go unattended and wild.
Lastly, they spend a lot of time keeping their children in private schools (including Quaker, Muslim) and "better" universities so they "fit in" with both transnational elitists and our own homegrown commie A-holes.

"Pew Research (for 2023): An estimated 4.6 million U.S.-born children were living with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent. Annual births to unauthorized or temporary-status mothers were about 320,000 (9% of ~3.6 million total U.S. births), with roughly 245,000–300,000 specifically tied to unauthorized parents in recent years."
This does not include a large number of "birth tourists" that returned to China or Mexico (or points unknown) over the decades. It was long ago popular for (even middle class?) Mexicans to give birth in USA so they could at some point claim their prize money.

End dual citizenship. That way illegal aliens aren't citizens since they are citizens of their mother's nation. In the case where the parents are not from the same nation, Roberts could logically prevail but if momma's going bye-bye, I bet most would choose to have the child go home with them.
Also, it would make those adults who have chosen to get foreign citizenship surrender their US citizenship.

It means nothing because the citizenship of those children were not at issue. Those children have parents who are citizens. They are citizens under a section of the constitution not in dispute. A legally adopted child is absolutely no different than a child who was biologically born to the adoptive parents. This includes their birth certificates listing the parents and there is zero notation of an adoption on a birth certificate.

With due respect, the Court's account is not historically
accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected

"With due respect,". This is great. How much respect is due to someone who gets the most basic thing wrong? Very little, I would say, and I suspect that's what Thomas is saying here.

accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle.

If one ascribes to the idea that we, the US citizens who base our right to be a US citizien on a marketbasket of entanglements, with place of birth but one of them and another being subject to being compeleted to die in war for the nation, this catastrohic birthright ruling guts all that and compels us to hand over our sovereign sense of self and ownership to any interloper that manages to kick in our national front door and loots that which makes us American. Worse is we no longer have any say about any of this. The long road to destroying what it means to being an American citizen finally succeeded. The road to our destruction is now paved. God help us because we can't seem to do it for ourselves anymore.

If this "birthright citizenship" ruling holds, and is unable to be thwarted by either clarifying legislation or by Constitutional Amendment, then it should become the policy of the United States that every "birthright baby" upon that baby's 18th birthday shall be immediately inducted into the US military, and shall immediately and accordingly report for duty; and that failure to do so is equivalent to desertion, or if that person has fled the US then that person shall be extradited back to the US for a desertions courts martial.

elaboration. I worked with an engineer who was going through the immigration process from India. She said when things would go badly she and her husband would say, "well we can always go back if things get worse." (This was when deep state operatives were stalling visa renewals in Trump I). However, when her baby was born, according to her, she had to burn that bridge because India does not recognize dual citizenship, her baby was American or Indian.

I thought the core holding was that the 14th guarantees birthright citizenship, regardless of which branch says otherwise.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia
======
Nope, it is obiter dicta, not that you would get that from the media. There was no law of Congress at issue in the case (cites to the citizenship laws of 1940 were not core to the case). In this case, like Wong Ark Kim, it dealt with administrative actions only, not the power of Congress.
So yes, like the death penalty, if Congress speaks, another bite at the apple is possible (especially as Kavanaugh argues just this point in his concurrence. Happened quite a bit over Roe jurisprudence.
So it takes one justice being replaced on the current court majority and by making the ruling prospective based on a new Congressional law, removes the messiness of revoking current citizenship.
Trump forced the court majority to rub its faces in shit with this decision and it is probably not going to be as long lived as ACB or Roberts would have hoped. And it blows up for good the rather stupid arguments put forward by Shipwrecked Crew commentator that ACB and Roberts are pragmatists. This as far from pragmatic as it can be.

I honestly believe that the trend among my peers and slightly older parents to adopt foreign children - even in cases where they were fertile or even had their own kids - has lead to a desire to "share the wealth" of foreign child support vis-a-vis generous immigration to the USA.
and this.
it's a stain on Gen X tbh. some of the smartest people I know adopted eastern euro kids instead of having their own, not in addition! but because "we don't want to overpopulate"
ok so Mr and Mrs 130 IQ don't procreate instead they're bailing out FAS adopted 30 year old "kids". sounds great.

It was really five to four. Kavanaugh had a concurrence that technically joined the majority in ruling Trump did not have that power but punted it to Congress whether it did. And Kavanaugh's concurrence is what needs to be followed by future court litigation. After either Roberts, Sotomayor, or one of the other justices on the majority step down. Or if the GOP decides to call the Dems bluff and expand the court to 13-15 which is not looking that bad now. 13 would make it one justice per circuit.

Or if the GOP decides to call the Dems bluff and expand the court to 13-15 which is not looking that bad now. 13 would make it one justice per circuit.

If the support is there, it can happen quickly.

Someone posted that she recently found out some people help their kids come up with a down payment and Demone's response? Its racism. Because only white people do it.
Now...I suspect East Asians, Indians, etc all do it as well because most people do want to help their kids and if you have the resources to do so will but good to know this is yet another racist thing.

So is the birthright decision. We won't have a country much longer at this rate and the Muzzies have specifically targeted this country for conquest. Institutions like Scotus have abjectly failed as has Congress in abandoning their role to promote America rather than their multiple foreign interests and affections.
And that is because the ruling class in the West are anti nationalism, anti their existing populations, and anti borders. Last time such a combo ruled the West, we got WWI and the Napoleonic Wars which might as well have been called pre WWI.

The key to effective immigration policy, and to keep our status as a sovereign nation, has always been sane immigration law and effective border control. We failed utterly and miserably at that. For decades.
If you don't want your house crawling with rats, you stop them from getting in. You don't invite them in and then try to get rid of them. Immigration is exactly the same.
The reality is that under democrap presidents, we have invited in tens of millions of invaders and allowed them to stay pending their immigration cases. During that time, they were technically legally here.
If they had a baby, that baby would be a citizen -- even if we won the BRC case. Because nobody disputed that the children of foreigners legally here would be citizens.

There's all sorts of remedies, but John Roberts ruled you're not allowed to even ask on the Census if someone is here legally?
How do you think things like pregnancy tests are going to go down legally?
Posted by: Sharpie
Not quite. That was Roberts being a shithead arguing that the APA was not followed as it every question on the survey followed the APA to get there. It was and is a discretionary action by the agency and not even reviewable under the legal regime at the time.

With ObamaCare and this decision, Roberts goes down as one of the destructive Justices of all time.
Clearly Alito and Roberts are in a battle to determine the equilibrium of the Court. Barrett has clearly chosen her side.
We got the Roe v. Wade reversal from Barrett, and now we pay a price for years to come. No more women on SCOTUS.

Wow. So much doom and gloom and end-of-the-world hysterics. Yes, we lost. Yes, The Blade is disappointed. Yes, the two RINOs on the Court fucked us yet again.
But ... so what? The immigration regime today is exactly the same as it was yesterday. Anchor babies and birth tourism babies were citizens yesterday. They are citizens today.
Nothing has changed -- nada -- other than some potential Congressional remedies that was never ever ever gonna happen anyway.
Everyone: Relax. Put out the fire in your hair. We live to fight another day.

The Five Horsemen judges never explained exactly what people are NOT "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", did they?
So they just ignored it, yes, but with no explanation at all, that I saw. Maybe they tried to cover it (like with a pillow) with the incorrect thing about British subjects. They just think we should be nicer, and not so racist and xenophobic, I suppose.

I found the news "racist thing" in a post by one Kiandria Demone...helping your kids by a house.
Someone posted that she recently found out some people help their kids come up with a down payment and Demone's response? Its racism. Because only white people do it.
Now...I suspect East Asians, Indians, etc all do it as well because most people do want to help their kids and if you have the resources to do so will but good to know this is yet another racist thing.

Boned. No change as current, but boned. Trains, planes, and automobiles make this a crisis. Immigrants sailing on old ships or even new ships made it tolerable.
Nevertheless, it calls for an administration to pregnancy test visitors to stop. Also must pass new laws against birth tourism (maybe there are already?), but CA and others won't enforce. The court always puts these extraordinary steps in play.

No need to buy expensive houses or have lavish parties. They can have a bar and meeting rooms in each building. Which will have 24 hour cam and sound surveillance.

Enough with the ludicrous fantasies of barring pregnant foreigners from entry. That is, those you even have any control over (though the illegal flow has been - temporarily - reduced quite effectively). Would never happen, and would be "struck down" by a court in a picosecond if it did. On what basis? That's a funny sort of question when dealing with the wreckage of our constitutional system. No sensible or even non-insane basis required.

Depends on the make up of the court. They could call that "dicta" which is not precedent and basically ignore it.
The problem with the Courts is, there are too many rationalizations that have been ginned up over the years to get the end result wanted in a particular case. And these rationalizations once utilized, can be trotted out again as a reason to do whatever is wanted by the majority. Basically, a life time supreme court of 9 can do whatever the fuck they want if they get a majority. Because there is always some way around it. Constitution be damned. It means what we want it to mean.

Nope, technically Roberts and ACB were bloviating about the 14th. See Kavanaugh. It was the classic example of extraneous reasoning not needed to address the issues of the case. In this case, it was whether the President had the authority by executive order solely to reject administratively any claims by children born to foreigners who were not here legally or as tourists were not US citizens. Given previous rulings, that would seem to be so as Congress in previous decisions has been given almost plenary power over naturalization as it is a enumerated power. Contra Afroyim v. Rusk which is another 5-4 legally dubious Warren court relic on dual citizenship.
And Congress has several means to hurt Scotus--e.g. jurisdiction stripping (see Ex Parte McCardle and the Bricker Amendment in the 50's) on immigration, it can also expand the court which the Democrats are likely to do anyway.

Not going to blow a fuse over this as it was expected. Wrong but not surprised.
All I can do is pray for an ammendment or change for my sons and grands in the future.
Prayer is often all you have and can do with any problem you alone can't control.
SCOTUS has a couple of judges who are running scared. Others who are biased. And sadly very few, like Alito and Thomas, who rule on the law and for our country.

I was excited at Barrett’s early discussion, when her nomination was put on hold for her to replace Ginsburg at a later date. In the meantime, I saw a lot of things about how her religious views informed her legal opinions, and she didn’t possess the same sort of legal philosophy that made Alito, Thomas, and Scalia so indispensable.
By the time Barrett’s nomination came around, I was desperately hoping someone else would come up. All the things I read about “the rest of her story” turned out to be true.

No amendment necessary. Just a law with two sentences:
The Supreme Court is wrong. "Under the jurisdiction thereof" means a person legally residing in America long-term, not a visitor or alien who is subject to a foreign power by birth or allegiance.

We KILLED BRITISH CITIZENS in order to ensure that rule did NOT apply to our folks.

They also released a ruling striking down limitations on the amount of money a political party can spend on a candidate's campaign as violation of the First Amendment.
In a time when the RNC has a bazillion dollars and the DNC has negative seventy, this could be significant.

No details but it looks like SCOTUS has ruled in favor of state laws banning trannies in women's sports. I guess one logical implication is that "sex" in Title IX means biological sex. Which, yeah duh, but now it's in writing.
As for Alito, I'm going to hope that he has pre-arranged a nominee with Trump for whatever that's worth.

Reluctance to do the hard, messy work that the left is already engaged in is a bigger one.

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.
The government is so big that this statement is silly.
The federal government is roughly 2.7 million people. No administration is capable of replacing that many people in 4 or 8 years.
Of course, you could terminate 2.7 million people in 4 years.
The top political mangers are already part of a "spoils system". This ruling merely dips a little further into the managerial hierarchy.

You had two Americans on a court of nine; the change down to 1 doesn't make a real difference. Also, it's a worthless institution that will consistently do the wrong thing at every critical juncture, as it always has.

According to police, Bush aimed a black handgun at the back of the other man’s head and demanded he hand over his belongings. Instead, the victim turned around, grabbed the handgun, and threw it into the front yard.
Both men wrestled Bush to the ground, tied him to the front railing of the property with a nylon strap, and called police.

@118 Agreed. Am seeing my church as the channel for a lot of rotten shit in this country.
Case in point -- went to church on Memorial Day as I know a few guys who were killed in the service. Pope Bob the Jagoff just designated it as some other bullshit feast day so instead of a nice Memorial Day service on a Monday morning we get ponderous crap.
One of my professional Irish uncles was a priest who left the order after hooking up with a nun (?!). They got married, he became a lawyer, and was one of the guys who helped usher in Colorado as a gay Democrat mecca. And their kids are both atheists.

On June 30, 2026, a ransomware group has reportedly compromised Tata Electronics, Apple's manufacturing partner in India, leaking sensitive data including supplier lists and unreleased iPhone 18 Pro images on the dark web. This incident poses a significant threat to Apple's carefully constructed global supply chain, which relies on numerous suppliers for its components. The leaked information could potentially damage Apple's relationship with Tata and provide competitors and counterfeiters with critical insights into Apple's manufacturing processes...The leaked documents, which include over 200,000 files detailing exclusive suppliers for key components, underscore both the strengths and vulnerabilities of Apple's supply chain.

During his first term, Comptroller Mejia looked into the city's liability payments, particularly for the LAPD. It turns out, annual liability payouts are a $320 million black hole that's more than tripled just since 2022. In a city with a ONE BILLION DOLLAR deficit.
But somebody (or somebodies) in Los Angeles apparently doesn't want Mejia looking into the city's soaring liabilities. According to a City Watch L.A. report, Mayor Bass's budget cuts include "reducing positions tied to accounting, payroll approval, and financial reporting" in Mejia's comptroller office, weakening "the city’s ability to monitor spending in real time, manage long-term fiscal planning, and maintain accountability when every dollar matters."

It is a states right thing if we are to believe in our Republic. But what it does mean is those states who do ban it can’t be forced to accept them. Which is a positive.
It's absolutely a positive. What it isn't is what Trump said. But then no one has ever accused him of being overly nuanced.

Repeated disappointment has not taught us much. It works better for the left because hardly anyone ever gets more conservative once in office.

The New Republic: Democratic Centrists Need to Stop Saying “Both Sides” Have “Extremes”
Yes, democratic socialists are left of traditional Democrats. But they aren’t remotely as radical—or anywhere near as powerful—as the MAGA right.
If the left were as extreme as the right, people would have stormed the WH by now. Perhaps Trump keeps doing crazy shit to try to provoke people into civil war in order to declare Martial Law.
what is it the extreme left wants? Healthcare for everyone, affordable housing, cheaper groceries, free education...so radical man.
One extreme is mass deportations and concentration camps, the other extreme is universal healthcare. There is no comparison here. One is rooted in compassion, the other is not
Only in America can you be just vaguely left of center and be called a “dangerous radical”. The actual left is SO MUCH FURTHER than the happy, smiling Democratic Socialists and “Nordic Model” SocDems.

To gain persepctive on the court, we had very few losses this term. The can't fire the Fed decision might be our biggest loss (b/c that does change the rules and the Fed can swing elections easily with their actions), birthright was status quo, and Trump got personally screwed...and I can't think of anything else that made us sad.
68 decisions - 65 for us (or at least not against us), with 67 of those expected (only the Fed wasn't). I'd say we did pretty well.

I'm not a legal scholar, but what I've noticed is that the current SC is decidedly conservative in the way its decisions are based on Article responsibilities as stated in the Constitution. The Court majorities have been averse to making law from the bench and have repeatedly placed remedies for conflicting lower court decisions in the hands of the federal and state legislatures. For example, the recent mail-in ballot decision.

So the Birthright Citizenship is worse case scenario, worse than I had feared. They didn't even toss a bone to the right to say that Congress can change the law if they want.
So, we're back to Constitutional Amendment required to overturn the SCOTUS. Otherwise it's birthright citizenship, all the way.

Hard to overstate how bad this is.
I applaud Trump pushing back but I think the EO should have been dropped rather than than enshrining birthright citizenship into law when it was clear the courts were going in this direction.

The birthright citizenship case is a clusterfuck.
The majority went further than it had to. Instead of just saying "this has to be done by Congress, not by EO," they went all the way and held that the 14A guarantees citizenship to the anchor babies of foreign invaders. It's a bad as it could have been.
The dissent is right on the money. Alas, it is a dissent.
The only good news is that this doesn't change anything. Trump took a shot at a long-standing left-wing fetish. He lost. But this only means we are were we have been for at least 50 years.

As an X post linked at Insty put it, there were no leaks on the decision, no security fences surrounding the SC Building, no police or NG posted for riots, so - baked in the cake.

Supreme Court: No, we define what that means, and it is opposite of what the legislature meant.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at June 30, 2026 12:03 PM (Dv3i1)
And sadly, the Supreme Court has now ruled that, if you can be arrested by a local cop for jaywalking, then you are "subject to the jurisdiction of."
In fact, it's even worse than that. If you can be arrested for entering the country illegally, then you are automatically "subject to the jurisdiction of".
Every person in this nation is now "Subject to the jurisdiction of" except for space aliens in UFO's and Bigfoot.

>>The majority went further than it had to. Instead of just saying "this has to be done by Congress, not by EO," they went all the way and held that the 14A guarantees citizenship to the anchor babies of foreign invaders. It's a bad as it could have been.

I believe this is incorrect. Bigfoot and space aliens are also subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Thus, if Bigfoot impregnated a space alien, and the space alien gave birth on US soil, then the resulting offspring would be eventually entitled to vote.
So, we got that going for us!
