Leaked Emails: Epstein Despised Trump (But Had Warm Relations With Democrats!)
The media is running cover, of course.
Byron York writes about the Democrats' complete lack of interest in Democrats who visited Epstein's Pedo Island, while screaming about Trump, who never visited the island. He recaps an old article by the blackmail enthusiast Michael Wolff, noting all the names of Democrats who did not break with Epstein even after his conviction for trafficking. Foremost not among them: Donald Trump.
Democrats started this mess by releasing select emails they thought would damage Trump, but those cherry-picked messages turned out to be nothing burgers. House Republicans responded by releasing more than 20,000 emails, and the damaging information that emerged pointed right back at Democrats.
The emails revealed that Epstein really disliked Trump, telling former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in February 2017 that he had "met some very bad people," but "none as bad as trump." In other messages with Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama, Epstein described Trump as "worse in real life and upclose" after Ruemmler sent him a message calling Trump "so gross." So much for the narrative that Trump and Epstein were close pals. The emails also revealed that Epstein discussed blackmailing Trump with anti-Trump author Michael Wolff.
The article is a long list of people who hung around with post-prison Epstein. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, "for whom Epstein has become a key adviser," was helping Epstein deal with his image problems. Mort Zuckerman, "the real estate billionaire and owner of the Daily News." PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel. Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University. Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel. Then-Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim. The lawyer Reid Weingarten. Thorbjørn Jagland, then-head of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Nathan Myhrvold, a former top executive at Microsoft. Harvard professor Martin Nowak. Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winner. Investment fund manager Ron Baron. Josh Harris, owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. And then: "A high ranking official from the Obama White House, whose name I am asked not to use." They all came to Epstein's house in New York. "These meetings, and this lifestyle, have somehow stayed private or secret -- or apart -- not out of any formal or stated restrictions, but because, in some sense, it would be very hard to explain just what you're doing there with a brazen sex offender in a guffaw-inducing home flaunting all moderation," Wolff wrote. "And yet, defying disgrace, and tolerating his tone deafness -- or mocking attitude toward the zeitgeist -- so many come. Gladly. Willingly. Feeling that his invitation is quite an extraordinary privilege."He could also have named Katie Couric and George Sloppadopoulos, but I guess he thinks he can still break into real media and wants to protect his leftwing media fellow travelers.
.. Given today's political situation and the things Wolff has been saying recently, here is something interesting. Out of all the names dropped, one is conspicuously absent: Donald Trump. The billionaire developer, reality TV star, and future president, who had a falling out with Epstein around 2004, did not even merit mention as a former friend. Wolff saw fit to name former President Bill Clinton as absent, but Trump, who at that point had not yet entered national politics, was just not there. Some years later, of course, after Trump became president, his adversaries saw Epstein, like they once saw Russia, as an opportunity to bring him down, and the Epstein story became all about Trump. But in 2014, when Epstein was alive and active and Wolff wrote the profile, Trump wasn't part of the picture.Of course, the Epstein emails do contain frequent mentions of Trump -- as his mortal enemy, who he believed was behind his arrest for trafficking. York again:
Maybe that tells you something is wrong with the way the story is being reported today. Whenever new information is released, such as the thousands of documents recently made public by the House GOP, and when that new information contains nothing to incriminate Trump, the usual suspects loudly proclaim that more new information is still being hidden that will incriminate Trump. It must all be released! One prominent Democratic senator, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, literally said recently, "Clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring. That is heartbreaking that the President of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality." That is a positively surrealistic read on what we know about Epstein so far -- and we know a lot.
"Your world does not understand how dumb [Trump] really is," Epstein wrote to former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Lawrence Summers in May 2017, Trump's fourth month in office. When, in July 2017, former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler wrote, "Trump is truly stupid," Epstein replied with a one-word answer: "Duh." In an exchange with New York Times reporter Landon Thomas, Epstein wrote that Trump was "evil beyond belief," and that he, Epstein, had tried to warn the world about his former friend. "I told everyone from day one," Epstein wrote. "I know how dirty Donald is," Epstein wrote to Ruemmler in August 2018. "My guess is that non-lawyers, NY biz people have no idea." Then Epstein boasted to an unknown recipient in December 2018: "I am the one able to take him down." Meanwhile, Epstein exchanged long emails with adviser Michael Wolff in which Wolff offered Epstein counsel on trying to damage Trump, blackmail Trump, and possibly run him out of office. It would be an understatement to note that Trump was living rent-free in Epstein's head. "The emails suggest that Trump remained a fixation for Epstein," CNN wrote, "as he's frequently mentioned numerous times over a span of nearly a decade -- including long after their friendship ended." By the way, remember when Elon Musk, breaking with Trump, breathlessly announced that Trump was "in the Epstein files"? Of course Trump is in the Epstein files; he's all over this set of Epstein files because he was so deeply in Epstein's head. Trump will be in other Epstein files, too, because Epstein apparently could not stop thinking and talking about him. Finally, one problem with reading the Epstein emails today is that Epstein was, in the words of one recent assessment in the Atlantic, a "notorious liar." It is reasonable to take Epstein's statements of opinion at face value -- he appeared to really think Trump was dumb -- but not his statements of fact. So when Epstein says that victim Virginia Giuffre "spent hours at my house with [Trump]," there's no compelling reason to believe him. Giuffre, now dead, wrote a book that said no such thing about Trump and also testified under oath that Trump "didn't partake in any sex with us ... [and] never flirted with me." Giuffre said she never saw Trump and Epstein together. She was asked, "Did you ever see Donald Trump at Jeffrey's home?" and answered, "Not that I remember." In addition, she said she did not remember seeing Trump at Epstein's island, or his house in New Mexico, or his house in New York.The Democrat-Media Party has a Hot Take on Epstein's hatred of-- not friendship with, hatred of -- Trump. That take? "If even Jeffrey Epstein (the notorious liar, note) says that Trump is bad, then Trump must be very, very bad." They seem incapable of understanding that if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information. Therefore: Epstein had no such information about Trump. The media which thinks it is so smart that it is the only institution in the world capable of reading information and drawing conclusions for it still can't wrap its stunted little brain around that conclusion.
Instead, we get this: "Leave aside" the question of whether there's any evidence Trump was a client of Epstein. Just look at how many times he's "in" Epstein's emails! As York points out: Yes, he's mentioned by Epstein, as an enemy. But unlike dozens of Democrats, there are no emails in which Trump speaks with Epstein.
One would expect that such a story would dominate the headlines and the talk shows, especially given the Democrats' months-long, full-court press on the Epstein Files. The Protection Racket Media has other ideas about what makes news in the Epstein case, as [Newsubsters'] Jorge Bonilla discovered watching the Sunday news shows:The media is asking Plaskett zero questions, but one citizen got through on the CSPAN lines and did ask about her servicing her pedophile patron:The wagons didn't just circle around Plaskett on television. Straight Arrow News did some research on the coverage of the story, and found that -- with a handful of exceptions -- the Protection Racket Media did its best to shut the story down...
The Plaskett story early enough for pre-production of This Week, and yet there was no mention whatsoever of what would otherwise be a scandal. There was likewise no mention of Plaskett on NBC's Meet the Press, CBS's Face the Nation, or CNN's State of the Union. As is the case with "news" in the Trump Era, the durability of a story is directly proportional to its ability to (a) cast aspersions on Donald Trump, and/or (b) cover up some other, more nefarious scandal. ... Epstein coaching a Member of Congress as to what questions to ask of a committee witness isn't notable? Does this not warrant prominence on the Sunday shows? For an Elitist Media intent on mining the "Epstein Files" for revelations, this is a huge omission. But not surprising, because this does not directly implicate President Donald Trump in any crime.
MAZEInformed citizens, doing the job that the "American" media refuses to do.
@mazemoore In 2023 Stacey Plaskett was taking calls on C-SPAN and a caller asked her about her relationship with Epstein. Plaskett: "He wanted to make contributions to the Democrat party." She left out that she personally asked him for money and texted him during hearings on what to say.

"Democrats started this mess by releasing select emails they thought would damage Trump"
They weren't thinking it would damage Trump. They were getting ahead of the story and creating a narrative about it. They were shaping the reality of the Epstein emails for their True Believers and the MSM (birm) and for AI that will read all the articles written by their True Believers and the MSM (birm).
No amount of corrections or emails now released will change that narrative. It is eternal. It is set in the minds of the Left that Trump had great relations with Epstien and helped him hunt down girls. It will be in the Wikipedia page on Epstien, it will show up on the top in web searches and in AI hallucinations.
That is why they released the stuff early. Understanding this is key to understanding the left.

If there are any Republican names in them, my guess is they will already be dead. Or chosen scapegoats...probably those that didn't back Trump 100%.
The originals will be leaked and will expose this. At some point someone will need to ask why "National Security" has a political bias.
It’s amazing how willing people are to go to jail for tampering with evidence when the truth comes out. Complying with an illegal order is not a protected act. Nuremberg trials prove this.
They’re convinced Dems will never be in power again because they will do everything in *their* power (i.e. lie cheat and steal) to keep Dems out
This is like when a gambling addict keeps losing and insisting "DOUBLE OR NOTHING". At this point they're fucked all the way down, might as well keep playing the game till the house refuses you anymore credit.

One of Trump's cronies when he was up and coming was Roy Cohn, among a few other really shifty sorts.

Trump strikes me as a fairly intelligent person.
He's had all the poon he's ever wanted, all over the world.
I have to imagine he knew what trouble he could have gotten in if he took Epstein's gifts. He could have lost it all.
Bill Clinton, well, not that bright, an out of control idiot. A politician, so had more devices to cover his BS up.

Made from 3,600 pieces, the Lego set is of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the spaceship that serves as the main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, which ran for seven seasons, as well as the 1994 film, Star Trek Generations.
It "allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing,” according to a press release from Lego. “The model also features an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttle pods, perfect for recreating classic scenes.”
The set comes with nine mini-figures of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counsellor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, and the show's star, Wesley Crusher.
Figurines also have some themed accessories, like an engineering case, phaser, or portable tractor beam generator.

It was just basically prostitution
The conspiracy angle though is why he did it this way instead of just hiring high end escorts. Almost like the goal was to get someone that looked older and entrap a high profile person for blackmail purposes.

I didn't "buy into her schtick". But she was enthusiastic and talked a good game.
Once she starts shilling for the other team, it doesn't change anything she did in the past, but it does make he reconsider her ongoing usefulness.
It's not a hard calculation. If you look moment by moment, "Is she helping the team"?
Of course, "the team" has to remain worthwhile to care about that. But simply the possibility that somebody might be implicated in files they are not slow-walking ain't it, especially when Trump promises to deliver so much more in the next 3 years.
However, I stand vindicated. I put the "Epstein Files" on the back burner of concern because I had reasonable confidence that they would eventually be released.
It paid off, chilling and trusting in Trump. Everybody else has at least a little egg on their face.

I think she believes her state has rigged elections, because they do, so she is running to the side that rigs. She can say “I told you so” at the end, or she hopes. I also think she spoke to the Gov who said MAGA doesn’t play well state wide in GA, so being the highly ethical person she is, she is changing everything about herself to fit the mold. Someone should ask her about weather lasers and her current views on them.

Yes - all that information that Merrick Garland and Jack Smith were sitting on and not releasing due to the fact that it could blow back on Trump and make him look bad....
yeaaah.... sorry Sid. If there was anything in there that would take out Trump, it would have been leaked to the NYT by Day 3 of President Poopy Pants' administration.

Mike Benz explained that these are all legal use in Muslim countries. It works kind of like consent, but I don't think the Muzzies are all that much about consent.
Benz suggests that Epstein "got high on his own supply" after juicing deals with muzzies with Muslim-age girls.

I don't recall the topic of the press conference, but she said "If the authorities say I committed suicide, know that I did NOT commit suicide." (paraphrase). There was no context for the comment, and at the time everyone thought she was a bit unhinged, but she hadn't started doing what she is doing now.

Illegal Alien Helped by Left-Wing Judge to Escape ICE Has Now Been Deported
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported an illegal alien whom Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan is charged with trying to help evade arrest by federal agents. Over the weekend, ICE agents deported illegal alien Eduardo Flores-Ruiz of Mexico. Flores-Ruiz crossed the southern border in 2013 and was apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Nogales, Arizona. He was swiftly deported to Mexico, but illegally crossed the border again, a felony. Flores-Ruiz also faced charges for strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse.This is what I call a "full-spectrum cultural enricher."
Video of that below the fold. If it actually posts. Cloudflare is causing all sorts of outages.
In April, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Dugan for allegedly helping Flores-Ruiz evade arrest by ICE agents by purposefully misdirecting agents from Ruiz inside a Wisconsin courthouse. ... A month after her arrest, surveillance footage from inside the courthouse showed Dugan seemingly pointing ICE agents in the wrong direction on purpose so that Flores-Ruiz could avoid arrest.
I never mentioned it, but back in late August a federal judge denied Dugan's motion to dismiss on grounds that as a judge she can do wha'ever she want.
No bias detected. Hint: She wasn't arrested for "being antatgonistic to increased deportation efforts."
A federal judge on Tuesday denied a motion to dismiss the criminal charges against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan in the immigration enforcement-related case that has drawn national attention as an example of the Trump Administration's effort to punish judges it sees as antagonistic to its increased deportation efforts.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman issued a 27-page order denying Dugan's motion. Dugan's attorneys had filed to dismiss the case earlier this summer, arguing that the prosecution violated judicial immunity and represented extreme federal overreach into the operations of the state court system.
JUSTICE ⚖️
— @Chicago1Ray 🇺🇸 (@Chicago1Ray) November 15, 2025
Remember Eduardo Flores-Ruiz the Illegal that disgraced Judge Hannah Dugan let out the back door of the courthouse

Here's another clown judge issuing another clownface ruling:
NY clown judge dismisses the fed case on NY law that forbids ICE from arresting at courthouses as it impedes federal law enforcement.
Dumb bitch is all "NY is not attempting to regulate federal agents and is not prohibiting the federal government from enforcing immigration law. Rather, it is simply defining, as a proprietor, what activities are not permissible in state-owned facilities."
Oh? Oh? That's a neat way to say "fuck you" to the Supreme Court, a bunch of precedent and the Constitution, isn't it?
Let me write it correctly: "We're not saying the feds can't enforce federal law, we're just saying they can't enforce it in New York."

I'll tell you why she's screwed. The Chief Judge will roll on her stating that he/she had no idea what she was up to, and that the Chief Judge had no reason/request for meeting with the ICE agents. I'm sure the Chief Judge approved of her actions, but he's not going to put his own ass in the ringer to protect her.

After 50 years, the final segment of Highway 610 is now open, connecting Maple Grove to I-94!
I worked to secure federal funding for this highway, which means shorter commutes, faster emergency routes, and more opportunity.
The I-94 is an east-west Interstate Highway in the United States, connecting the Great Lakes and northern Great Plains regions. Maple Grove Dragway is South of Reading PA, where you can see nitro-fueled funny cars scream down the track.

It's like they read "consent of the governed" to mean " but not as to us because we went to law school."
The Shipwrecked fellow has a long post on just how absurdly fast the clown judges are moving to rule against Trump. We're talking in 90 days or so. On a docket where average cases are 2+ years from start to finish.
They are destroying everything to stop the inevitable.
See also the TX ruling. The key fact there is, they've been sitting on this ruling for months. But the release is timed because the deadline to declare for next year is December 8.

And it prompted several jokes, most regarding a light bulb, with no response from the AI.
Then I just asked "how many muslims does it take to screw in a light bulb."
I Shit You Not, this is the answer Google's AI gave me: AI Overview
The answer to this question is that it takes just one person, or as many as are willing to help, to screw in a light bulb. The topic as presented in the query is a pretext for a joke or a generalization, which is inappropriate and promotes stereotypes.

In junior high two of the neibhor boys and friends of our son's did similar. Rode bikes on the front porch and smashed a piece of pizza. We heard a thud. Then my runner husband kicked off his flip flops and chased them down the block, caught them hiding in bushes, and hauled them home to tell their Mama's. One mother was mortified and the kid had to come apologize the next day. The other mother? Her darling would never do this! He turned out to be a loser as did her daughter.

Three judge panels on redistricting go immediately to Scotus upon appeal, no stop at the 5th. Use to be that three judge district court panels were used also in cases where state laws were deemed unconstitutional until that jurisdiction finally vanished in 1976 and regular appellate order was created for almost all cases except statewide redistricting cases.

He was loading his weapon after cleaning it when the banging on the front door started. They ran off, then about fifteen minutes laters they did it again.

Make sure to find the breaker for the DW and turn it OFF prior to f*cking with the electrical connections.
That being said, if it's a unit for unit swap, it's really not all that difficult. Just a bit cumbersome as you have to lay down, reach and use some tools. And, some lifting/pushing to get things out and back into place.

Some of the newer dishwashers don't have jack shit worth a room to work under. You used to have around 6 inches of space. The new one I put in the new kitchen here probably had less than 3. Everything gets connected outside of the space, the drain hose, the braided water line, and the electrical, but these days they want an electrical outlet in the sink base with an actual plug coming from the dishwasher. Not sure if it depends on the area where one lives. Back in the day it was illegal to use an outlet, and now they frigging want one. It used to be easy. I probably hooked up 100 dishwashers in my time when I was doing kitchens. Lots of room, no problem. This new one I couldn't even get my hands under it.

Actually, if you look at the Constitution, the #1 idea is a union of sovereign states giving up a portion of their sovereignty to cohere.
It's definitely "majority rule" within states, and the states generally mandate that each municipality also operates under majority rule.
But at the state-to-federal level, it gets different. States themselves were to be the parties of the "upper house".
And Dems have a problem with the lack of majority rule anytime they can't win that either.
Democrats are only fit for a one-party state. They are totalitarian wannabes.

Expect the machinations of democracy to course-correct in the wake of a SCOTUS decision that hasn't happened yet.
I remember what Dennis Miller said "The left actually won when Trump got elected."
And they did. He's stalled a few things, but his inflammatory handling of everything sets them up for "saving democracy" even more.
Unless of course, one thinks posting a video of himself dumping feces on protestors was gonna "shore up those swing voters."

Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury, Harvard Professor Larry Summers, "Steps Back from Public Life" After Revelation He Sought Jeffrey Epstein to be His "Wingman" In His Seduction of the Daughter of a Red Chinese Banking Executive
This is somehow connected to Drumpf, I just know it!!!
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in a statement Monday said he would be stepping back from public life and expressed deep regret for past messages with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of new revelations about the extent of their relationship. "I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," he told POLITICO. "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me." Emails revealed that Summers, who served as Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and a top adviser to President Barack Obama, repeatedly sought advice from Epstein on romantically pursuing a woman he referred to as his mentee. Epstein in one message referred to himself as the prominent economist's "wing man." Summers in another exchange suggested women in aggregate have a lower IQ than men. Summers' comment comes after a senior Trump administration official and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) each called on institutions to sever ties with Summers. The statement leaves question marks hanging over the fate of several positions Summers occupies, which include a board seat at OpenAI, a tenured position at Harvard, an unpaid nonresident fellow position at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank and a paid contributor role at Bloomberg News. A Summers spokesperson declined to answer a direct question about those roles.Politico refuses to name the woman he was trying to seduce. It was Jin Keyu, a professor in China, and daughter of a major figure in Chinese banking.
Matt Stoller
@matthewstoller Nov 17 There's an interesting angle about the CCP in the story of Larry Summers trying to seduce someone he was mentoring. Her father is a Chinese official running part of the Belt and Road initiative, and she explicitly thanked Summers for supporting her Dad
Matt StollerIs it "awkward"? Some might call it efficient. Flashback to a Charlie Kirk tweet from July 25: Trump tells a reporter, "You ought to be talking about Larry Summers.... or Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island."
@matthewstoller Nov 1
It's very awkward that Larry Summers was manipulating Chinese and U.S. politics as a means of seducing a Chinese economist he was mentoring.
Trump said yesterday: "We have NOTHING to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, Bill Clinton. They went to his island ALL THE TIME. All Democrats." But asking Bill and Hillary Clinton about their repeated trips to Pedo Island will be difficult: They're refusing to testify. They cite no justification for doing so, they're just refusing.
Rep. Anna Paulina LunaRemember when Peter Navarro refused to testify and Joe Biden sent him to prison?
@RepLuna Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before House Oversight for their depositions regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Notice how House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it.
Drew HoldenThe House is voting soon to release all the secret Epstein grand jury materials. The flake traitor "libertarian" Tom Massie is outgassing right now. Trump asked the House to vote in favor of the release. I'll be posting more about the Epstein disclosures -- and the media's refusal to cover them -- later today.
@DrewHolden360 Peter Navarro went to prison for what the Clintons are currently doing on the Epstein hearings.

Since Trump won't be actually part of the whole thing in action, the whole matter is going to get dropped completely. The press will stop covering it, and the only people who will harp on about it are dead enders like Massie.
"2/3 of all of Congress went to Epstein's island and fucked children as young as 3 days old!" is not a serious thing to push, but people have been pushing it for years now. No amount of evidence will dissuade them.

Summers was the last sane president of Harvard. Clinton's Presidency was about as economically Right was Cleveland's i.e., it didn't suck. Reid Hoffman however douchey he is personally is at heart a capitalist.
Epstein was arguably trying to keep the Democrats from being what they are now, which is a violent paramilitary.

I don't know what is more pathetic and gay: that this creep Summers was perving on some rando lady who was his subordinate, or that he solicited advice from Jeffrey Epstein on how to do it. Imagine going to Epstein -- Epstein! -- for advice on how to pick up chicks.
The creepy cringe factor is off the charts. Like, skin-crawling shit.

Uh, what's that at the top? "trump - borderline insane. dersh, a few feet from the border but not by much"?
That would be from Epstein? Byron York did note that Trump lived rent-free in Epstein's head, probably because he was obsessed after Trump banned him and resented the hell out of Trump's success. Epstein's hatred of Dershowitz would make sense on similar grounds.
Interesting.

(Saw on X
"Marjorie Traitor Greene did not make a single post about the Epstein files during the Biden Administration.
Not one.
But she has posted about it 31 times since Trump took office.
Thomas Massie posted about it 2 times during the Biden Administration.
He has posted about it 100 times in the first 10 months of Trump’s 2nd term. 100 times.
Yeah. It’s totally about the victims and identifying ped0s.
I mean, he let these mysterious, unnamed ped0s free to victimize children for another 4 years during Biden’s presidency, I guess. "
Just so we know who is who.
But, sure, it’s about the victims.

They somehow got one of the better trade status agreements with the US, despite not fulfilling the requirements for such. Things like not using slaves, etc.
And there were the shady donations to democrats. Funny enough, it was even reported on back then, but I don't remember anything actually coming out from it.
Almost 3 decades ago. How much of the Democratic party was propped up by the Chinese? Communist Chinese at that?
Anyone remember any other "odd" happenings back in the 90's with China, that might now be explained by what we're finding out from these crooks today?

After 9/11 a whistleblower came forward and said he had been running a program that had identified that Atta was in the US and up to something, but his program had been shut down and his report ignored.
However it wasn't because of Atta, its because his program found a bunch of American politicians were being paid by China. Now...in 2001 that was still considered unlikely. But now?

"The individual often associated with a one-day presidency is David Rice Atchison, a U.S. Senator and president pro tempore of the Senate, not Secretary of State. Atchison allegedly served as acting president on March 4, 1849, due to a gap between President James K. Polk's term ending and President-elect Zachary Taylor's inauguration the following day, which fell on a Sunday."

Trump sent her--privately, no one else knew--an email with a poll that showed she would lose badly if she ran for the GA Senate seat.
I don't think the email said much else.
But the clear implication was, you're going to lose, lose badly, and I am not going to endorse you.
She blew up and lost her mind b/c she believes that Trump "owes" her the endorsement and that she's sure to win both the primary and the general with it.
Trump's instinct, once again, proves correct.

The highway was authorized in 1975, with construction completed in stages, and the final segment to I-94 opened on December 9, 2016.

I don't think I've read his defenses of DEI or his apologies for noting that women's scarceness in math is NOT so strange (I assume he issued several abject ones). Is he another pathetic soft-shoe mealy-mouthed confusoid? Was he ever really good for Harvard? I'm curious about his intellectual arc, slope, or whatever he has.

I'm starting to believe there are very few, if any innocent victims. Why are these nine women on Capitol Hill saying they'll name names but don't?
I don't buy the NDA excuse. Since when is an NDA enforceable against a crime victim? I also don't buy the fear of reprisal claim. They're in public. The people who abused them know their faces now. Anyone who would be in danger for talking would also be in danger for making it known they intend to talk. So why are they playing coy?
How many of these women facilitated the abuse of other women? How many are embellishing their story to feel important?
I believe there are victims, but I'm smelling a rat.

Because, and I'm not going to add this to my search history, but I'm pretty sure they were all above the age of consent in the jurisdiction of the island.
So:
They were all legally of age to do what they did.
They're just playing dumb and pretending that they didn't.
And relying upon a vile US media to hide that the age of consent wasn't 18 like in the US.
Remember:
100% of the people claiming these girls were "victims" because they were too young to consent also 100% agree that children, not teenagers, children, can choose--and must received--"gender affirming care."

I'm sure there's plenty of embarrassment all around, including the victims. Epstein's operation was apparently multi-level marketing for THOTs and yacht girls. The girls themselves have said they were paid not only for sex, but also to recruit their friends into the sex ring. This is a reason the original case in FL collapsed. I'm sure there were a few genuine victims, but the vast majority of these girls were paid and kept going back for more.

ICE keeps turning up that a lot of them were impressed into sex trafficking by human trafficking organizations around the country and thousands are below 16 years of age.
"On August 12, 2025, ICE dismantled a large human trafficking ring in Nebraska, rescuing 27 victims, including 10 children under the age of 12, from conditions involving sexual exploitation and drug trafficking operations.
Five illegal aliens were charged with conspiracy to engage in labor and sex trafficking, and 14 additional individuals were taken into custody for living alongside the victims.
In a separate operation in Florida from May 2 to May 10, 2025, a joint undercover effort led to 255 arrests related to prostitution, solicitation of minors, and child exploitation, with ICE lodging 30 detainers against individuals from Venezuela, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil.
In Wisconsin, on September 25, 2025, ICE arrested 24 illegal aliens linked to a transnational human trafficking ring including individuals convicted of child sexual abuse

My personal guess is Epstein was an asset of British security services. Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father was used as such by MI-6 to get close to Leonid Brezhnev back in the day. Also why Randy Andy might feel safe to engage in his proclivities with Epstein if that was the case as the Brit security services have always kept a close eye on the Royals.
That being said, Ehud Barak apparently was a visitor at Epstein's NY townhouse several times.
My personal guess is that Epstein was engaged in moving money around as a hedge fund manager for the intel community and wealth individuals.

It's like that leftist with the Manhattan apartment who could have anything he wanted, so he set up some penthouse dungeon where he could beat up poor and desperate women and get away with it.

In this case, he was just honest. He mentioned why he did not push for full release months ago mentioning innocent people being smeared.
My guess is that he is tired of the Massies and MTGs using the issue to derail important policies and is willing to let the fur fly now to shut the Dems and their allies down.
Basically the Massies, media, and the obnoxious influencers on the internet, and the Dems have all FAFO.

Many of the girls, including Giuffre recruited other girls into the ring which is actually common tactic for sex trafficking. That is documented in the earlier Palm Beach depositions and court proceedings. It ain't the stranger danger but the 'friend' that makes the initial approach. Basically, after the settlements, many of those Epstein girls, upon full release without redaction, may themselves sue each other for a few bucks more.
I'd imagine too that Trump via his DoJ debriefing Ghislaine earlier this year know even what the documents and johns might be missing as well.

Judge Stays "Insane" Magistrate's Defense of James Comey
Yesterday I reported that a lowly magistrate -- a helper judge that hears motions on behalf of the judge -- made a "rare" grant of a motion to turn over all grand jury evidence to James Comey's team of angry Democrat lawyers. He claimed that despite such orders almost never being granted -- he admitted it was "rare" -- he felt that James Comey's rights "outweighed" the standard guarantee of grand jury secrecy.
This lowly Democrat magistrate searched desperately for some kind of infraction on the part of the prosecutor that he could claim was serious enough to justify this "rare" step. This partisan magistrate claimed there were "misstatements of law" in the grand jury case, which is common, which is why it is "rare" to invade grand jury secrecy, even on behalf of a politically-connected, Deep State protected accused. But ah, how that changes when James "No Intent/8647" Comey is in the dock.ShipwreckedcrewBear in mind, grand juries are entirely one-sided, prosecutor-controlled affairs, with no opposing counsel or judge to bring up misstatements as they occur, so these are common and usually not something judges -- or even lowly magistrates -- pitch a fit about.
@shipwreckedcrew Nov 17 Generally not a ground to invalidate an indictment. Misstatements of law by prosecutors in front of the the GJ is a subject that has a LOOOOONG history of litigation. Not a new topic and defendants rarely win on it.
Mike DavisHalligan filed for an emergency stay, which was granted. This doesn't mean the matter is settled, just that the government is now afforded the opportunity, which the lowly magistrate didn't think they should have, to rebut the insane claims of the defense. And an actual judge will take a look at the lowly bureaucrat-magistrate's shoddy work.
@mrddmia Nonsense. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick--appointed by partisan DC-area Democrat judges in 2022--is going out of his way to carry water for James Comey. Fitzpatrick--through his highly irregular ruling--is grasping at straws to make his findings that Lindsey Halligan (somehow) did something wrong. She did not. Fitzpatrick is even pretending there is missing evidence. Is there any basis for his conspiracy theory? They know the evidence against Comey is damning. He lied to Congress to coverup his clear corruption in politicizing and weaponizing intel agencies and law enforcement to take out political enemies--the biggest scandal in American history. So they are doing everything they can to stop Lindsey Halligan. Lindsey Halligan is clearly over the target. The Justice Department must appeal this fact-free and lawless ruling by Fitzpatrick. The Deep State protects its own.

Stayed for now to allow arguments. Lawfare by judges is relying upon the distaste for appellate courts to engage in interlocutory appeals so you get abuses of injunctions, bail terms, etc. over and over again. And those lawyers/judges/activists are going to be the first ones up against the wall when the rule of law is destroyed by their actions of abusing it.
They never see the forest for the trees. It is if they think critical legal studies point that all law rests on who has power and who has not doesn't apply to them.

"One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey's burden, not the government's, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."
The remark was, NO DOUBT, about how Comey was required to testify truthfully before CONGRESS. Someone may have slipped and said the word "trial" instead of "congress". The whole case hinges on whether he lied to congress, so no doubt someone said, "can he lie to congress?"
The second concern is preposterous - the jury saw three charges and rejected one so they redrafted the charging document with two of the three charges. The jury doesn't have to then vote on THAT. Not typically.
Both excuses are absurd. The main problem is Comey is very obviously utterly guilty. He definitively lied to congress, more than once. His own words prove it - it requires no testimony from anyone. He literally said, under oath "I never did this thing" then wrote e-mails describing how he did that very thing. Open and shut case.

As I mentioned yesterday, my read is that Halligan did whatever she had to do to get a reluctant GJ to indict a guy that is probably a hero to most in the area.
That doesn't necessarily make the indictment infirm, as prosecutors do a lot of bullshitting and possibly even lying to GJs. But I think if people see how the sausage is made in this instance they would be surprised.

In my experience, "real" judges often offload tedious tasks -- or tasks they don't want to deal with -- to magistrate judges.
Things like discovery disputes, in camera reviews, settlement/mediation, etc. As a lawyer, I usually didn't like going before MJs, but I kept my mouth shut because you don't want to piss off the MJ or the main judge.
I do think it's odd that a MJ would get first crack at a potentially dispositive and highly unusual motion like Comey's here. I smell a rat.

Most IT corporate and government managers do not want to pay nor manage massive DDOS protections required nowadays. So they outsource it just like cloud storage.
That being said, I use Cloudfare as an alternative DNS server along with Google from my router and Cloudfare DNS encrypts all web communications if not the IP to and from servers cutting the ISP out of the loop. Works well enough for me.

A very positive development under Trump -- and covid -- was exposing the Ruling Elites to be a rancid dog's breakfast of drooling retards, fascist lunatics, bitter leftwing partisans, and creepy perverts.

The top three priorities for top-level government people are:
- how do I retain my position
- how do I get paid extra because of my position
- how do I pawn off the responsibilities of my position to someone else

Depends, often the thing that upsets the convicts the most is being wrongfully convicted by underhanded prosecutorial means rather than paying the price for crimes they do commit.
A lot of prison wardens actually like inmates using the legal libraries to file cases--keeps the inmates busy and out of trouble. Caselaw also requires inmates to be able to access good legal libraries so as to draft their petitions. If I somehow ended up inside, that is what I would probably gravitate toward for self preservation--helping inmates out.
Knew a former state AG convicted for misstating how their public relations fund was spent and that is basically what he did inside and after. Helping inmates with their legal issues.

It was an eye-opener even for a hardcore cynic like me. Even I underestimated how deep and curdled the fetid rot was. I once thought the Deep State was a rogue faction in the government. I now know the government is a faction of the Deep State.

Dan Turrentine never heard of Judge Boasberg. Has no idea what this impeachment talk is. Says judges make decisions that presidents don't like all the time. Sean and Mark had nothing to add. I have little hope he'll get goned, but I'm quite sure he'll keep doing what he's doing.

There's a notorious 1970s softcore porn version called Flesh Gordon. Inexplicably, they spent a lot of money on special effects and sets as if they were making a real sci-fi action movie. It even stars a young Craig T Nelson as the voice of the giant monster at the end.
It was originally shot as true hardcore porn. But in those days, obscenity laws being what they were, the original hardcore print was seized and supposedly destroyed. So what was left was more like "Skinemax" softcore. Surprisingly amount of gay sex scenes. Wtf?

Term limits on judicial appointments. Allow reappointing to position but something like 6-8 year terms for district court judges and maybe 10-12 for appellate.

I'm not sure of that. The various government health establishments f*cked up so many things that it is almost impossible to blame anything on the vaccine. It could be their catastrophically bad advice about treatment, it could be their manipulation of statistics to count zero flu cases (they turned them into Covid19), it could be sh*t data reporting...
Probably it is all of those things, in addition to the vaccine.

A very positive development under Trump -- and covid -- was exposing the Ruling Elites to be a rancid dog's breakfast of drooling retards, fascist lunatics, bitter leftwing partisans, and creepy perverts.

The problem, as always, is that the legislature is in favor of the judicial orders and against their voters.
An example at the state level here in Alabama was the the judicial order by a state circuit judge that wealthy school districts had to fund poor ones. The voters of wealthy districts were made and the legislature made 'oh what can you do' noises. Well, for one, the circuit judges are creatures of the legislature so, how about eliminating this circuit to moot it's judgements?

By the time that amendment was ratified, only a few state legislatures still selected them.
Partisan fights leaving vacant Senate seats, massive corruption in state legislatures over selection, and public demands led most states to use some sort of popular vote to select the state's candidates who were then ratified by the state legs.
I don't see any groundswell for overturning that amendment.
Something that might have more effect is an amendment forbidding people outside of a jurisdiction from donating to that state or district's candidates.

NY clown judge dismisses the fed case on NY law that forbids ICE from arresting at courthouses as it impedes federal law enforcement.
Dumb bitch is all "NY is not attempting to regulate federal agents and is not prohibiting the federal government from enforcing immigration law. Rather, it is simply defining, as a proprietor, what activities are not permissible in state-owned facilities."
Oh? Oh? That's a neat way to say "fuck you" to the Supreme Court, a bunch of precedent and the Constitution, isn't it?
Let me write it correctly: "We're not saying the feds can't enforce federal law, we're just saying they can't enforce it in New York."

Using that rationale, why ban foreign contributors.
If the intention is to make politicians responsive to their constituents, then allowing massive donations outside of that jurisdiction (common among Dems nowadays) essentially screws the people of that state.
Contra the idiotic Buckley v. Valeo decision equating money and speech, giving money is an ACTION, not speech itself and nothing says that wealthier out of state donors should have a bigger megaphone than citizens in the state where they are elected.

And another wearying appeal to higher courts where that judge will be reversed. That particular issue was resolved even before the ACW with enforcement of the fugitive slave law. States cannot deny federal access to state or other facilities for legitimate law enforcement actions.
Sanctuary states are in fact unconstitutional by their very nature--whatever you think about immigration, it is clear that enforcement of it is an enumerated federal power that overrides the 10th. A state cannot be commanded to enforce federal immigration law but nor can it hinder the federal government in doing so.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
We have burned already €185 billion, and... our intention is to burn even more. So we finance a country which has no chance to win the war[...]
The Bien Pensant will describe Orban as a lackey of Moscow and a corrupt fascist. He is also correct in his analysis of the current situation in Ukraine. And as an additional bona fide, Muslims make up about 0.1% of the population of Hungary. So what does that say about Orban's analysis of geopolitical events? The most ridiculous aspect of this entire pathetic repudiation of the Globalist, United Nations, NATO narrative is that the West is very willing to sacrifice Ukrainian youth in the meat grinder of this war, spend their American-financed peace dividend on arms for Ukraine, but would never dream of sending a single soldier to fight. That's for filthy Slavs to do! And also because their fighting-age men are effete, despise any martial spirit, and simply don't care enough about anything to fight for it! Including of course fighting the Muslim hordes raping their women! Orban is correct. This will end in a Russian victory of sorts, and throwing good money into the quagmire of Eastern Ukraine is laughable, if it weren't also deadly and destructive. The West should push hard for some sort of ceasefire, but expanding the war by sending American offensive weapons to Ukraine is insanity. Yes, that will put pressure on Moscow, but is it the kind of pressure that ends wars? No. The real question is: What does Europe get for its €185 billion? The continuation of the obscene corruption in Ukraine? That speaks ill of the morality of the Western elites. They are willing to sacrifice Ukrainian and Russian youth to keep the graft flowing.

Russia ain't attacking anyone in Europe. Russia has exhausted their inventory of tanks and APC's and is now pulling old cold war 1970s era tanks and APC's out of mothballs and sending them to the front. Cold war storage depots are being emptied and equipment cannibalized to make a few running tanks and troop carriers to be sent to the front.
I have seen recent pictures of the fighting and there are wrecked russian T-64 and T-72 tanks along with burnt out BMP-1's stuff that was last used in the 70s and 80s.
There was a guy on youtube that was tracking that stuff but I haven't seen him post anything lately.

Doesn't matter what you think---it is why the yutes are socialism curious and why.
At the end of the day, everyone gets some share of the blame--the seeds for today's bitter harvest were sown in the 1960's and while the Greatest and Silents were mainly responsible for idiotic legislation, the Boomers, Gen X, etc. were unable and sometimes unwilling to take the actions necessary to correct it and the Greatest and Silent generations were unwilling and unable to admit they made mistakes needing correction.
So there will be a bitter harvest without massive course corrections as things unwind in the West. History does not give one shit about the virtue of this or that individual when the winds of bad tidings come. The punishment will be collective where we like it or not.
Ukraine is simply one example where ham handed idiotic foreign policy has happened since the Cold War ended. And that is due to mostly Boomers in the Clinton admin that figured we won meant we could do anything.

If only there was a regular here 3.5 years ago who had the cool crystal clarity to forecast that Russia was in it for the long haul, and due to the mechanics of the war and the level of outside support "Uke" had, Russia would just grind and grind and grind, for decades if they have to, as they have done before, and the war otherwise had no imminent end of any kind despite the posturing and certainty from other onlookers and "experts".
If only.

They got ... $185B. I very strongly suspect that the vast majority of "aid" money to Ukraine never left the aiding country. It was stolen before it ever made it outside the border. Some money eventually got to Uke, and it was promptly stolen by the homunculus faggot and his fake wife. The politically-connected remoras got their cut too. What was finally left over was probably pennies on the dollar.

I knew some of the folks that designed those programs after teh Wall fell. The original intent was to keep the vast Soviet research facilities involved in all kinds of nefarious chemical, biological, and nuclear weaponry employed so that they did not go hawking their services to the Norks, China, Libya, etc. Senators Nunn and Lugar were some of the ramrods of those policies and spending.
Like most government programs and spending, they never end and are eventually morphed into evil activities by the nat sec blob+public health consortium. I think Heinlein's Solution Unsatisfactory short story is apropos. You cannot destroy forbidden knowledge nor prevent its spread--it always gets out and then the decision is to use force while you have it to prevent enemies from using it or whether to rely on mutually assured destruction.

I do like the idea of punishing Russia bad enough that they don't decide to try expanding again. But I don't know if they'll learn that lesson. We keep teaching our enemies that if they just hold on, we (the US and the West in general) will get tired and leave. The Vietnamese know it, the Afghans know it, the Algerians know it, and now the Russians are learning it.
But there doesn't seem to be any chance of the Ukrainians willing a decisive victory either. So they have no chance of winning.

Putin was stupid from a strategic standpoint and like a lot of Western policy makers, he is stuck in the past trying to return back to status quo.
The truth was that Russia was already facing massive issues with demographics before the war as the birth rates and immigration have favored minorities at the expense of native Russians.
Now, he is relying on arming/training a bunch of those minorities on the periphery to fight in Ukraine so his power bases in Moscow and St. Petersburg are not affected by the draft/conscription. What could go wrong?

First, there's a lot of heavy breathing about protecting Ukraine's borders. Well, why? Why should borders be static after WW2? What about those borders (other than that's where we drew lines on or about that date) is lovely or good?
Second, I don't think any government should be sending their young men to war over someone else's problem. If you want to bring back private armies, I'm with you. I think someone with oodles of money (is Soros pro-Ukraine? probably not) should be able to recruit and train up a bunch of folks to go to Ukraine's (or Christians in Nigeria) aid.
Third, Russia might win only to the extent they consolidate some small gains. But, generally, I think they're being bled dry. They frittered away all of their industry, and Putin didn't fix the problems that the Soviets induced. The Russia that holds the Donbas will be a fragile shell. Of course, no one else will take advantage of that - because that's not who post-WW2 Progressive foreign policy wonks are.

Wegmans is merely okay. It is amusing that they tend not to stock the common junk foods and their brands. It's not that they won't stock junk food, it's that they rename or rebrand it. You need the equivalent of an on-line translator to find Wegman's ersatz, but artisanal, edition of Doritos, as an example.

Trump was ready to unilaterally pull our support for Ukraine. Then, Putin goes and bombs some civilians in Kiev and pissed Trump off. It's to Russia's advantage to keep the EU and the US "involved" in Ukraine.

But if you really like french fries, yeah, you will get a lot of fries there.
If they were half as expensive, I'd eat there more often.

Walmart has a sophisticated tracking of pricing where the most commonly bought items and sizes of those items are very competitive on price but if you depart from those items or the most popular size, often the most expensive when compared to other places. I'm sure Amazon, etc. have similar pricing strategies.

it's a time/cost consideration. If beef prices are high, you can't make a burger at home as cheap as you can buy it at a burger chain. If beef prices are low (please, please someday again), then you can make a cheaper burger but you are spending time making it.

The original grease-pit Habit in Goleta? Sublime. In the mid-90s I used to work in the light industrial area a couple of blocks away. We'd hit the Habit for lunch a couple of days per week.
The other days we'd go to the beach for some longboarding. Good times.

Hardtack is hard-baked unleavened bread. Basically just flour, water and salt. It's made that way to keep from getting jogged to pieces in a soldier's pack and also for storage/longevity. Pretty decent when fresh, but a jawbreaker when stale.

You know, whatever they used to eat while riding all over the place for weeks on end without refrigeration. Jerky, hard tack, that sort of thing.
Jerky's so damn expensive though and making it is a pain in the ass. And I don't even know what hard tack is except it's something they ate in Louis L'Amour books all the time. Some kind of biscuit like product that's impervious to butt sweat, I assume.

So, if the best case scenario is RUSSIA collapsing, and 9 times out of 10 that best case scenario leads to an even worse situation because of the power vacuum why, oh why would we take the gamble? It is not a reasonable ask. Orban is correct.

I dont think civilization collapsing is a good outcome. If the so called best case scenario occurs, and russia collapses, it creates a power vacuum. These days who fills power vaccuums? China and Islam. I really dont think you can define a good outcome that is plausible or reasonable. So many killed and so much destroyed, the fall of Russia itself would not be worth it, given the likely result would not be a free, democratic Russia ally (a la post war japan) but must likely a festering wound that would be coopted by bad actors.
Victoria Nuland and her lackeys are wrong and Orban Trump are right.

When you stroke a *real* fur coat, mink or ermine, the feel is very different from today's super-soft faux fur (polyester) textures. Disappointing if you expect the latter. But there is a *coolness* -- as in a cooler temperature -- to the real fur surface that the faux does not have.

Nearly 87% of DFW homes lost value this year, Zillow study finds
According to Zillow, 53% of U.S. homes lost value over the last year, and an increasing number of homes are selling for less than their previous sale price.
DALLAS — National home values dropped by 53% last year, marking the fastest decline in value since 2012, according to a new study from Zillow.
The decline, which was measured between October 2024 and October 2025, is even steeper in Dallas, according to the study. The decline is measured by the home's Zestimate, which is determined by an algorithm that combines public records, user-submitted data, and comparable home sales.
In Dallas, nearly 87% of homes lost value this year, the report says. Home value loss has been the steepest in the West and the South, both regions that saw a boom in housing prices and demand during the pandemic.

In my area the vast majority of construction is apartments or condos. The few single homes built are in the $750-1M range.
There are homes. There are no affordable homes.
It’s a lot more profitable to build up than out. Only way to make money building out is high end. No profit in building $400k homes.

Operation Charlotte's Web in Charlotte started over the weekend.
A few hundred or so got arrested.
The only picture of an arrest I've seen head an article is of a white woman handcuffed by a police vehicle, the implication being that BP and ICE are just arresting anyone. I'm sure the woman tried to interfere with a legal operation, though.
Unusual student absence rates in Mecklenberg County schools on Monday. Some businesses say they've closed temporarily out of fear.
Whatever. Convince some more illegals that it's not worth it and they should leave.

There is, but it's less profit so you have to build more of them. (Which seems entirely reasonable to me, but I'm not a developer).
Someone noted on X the other day that the average house built in the 1950s was around 850 square feet. We've gotten far, far away from that, which is a big chunk of why houses are unaffordable.

--------
Home builders have shifted to building bigger homes with bigger price tags. Average new home has at least 2300-2500 sq feet nowdays. Add in land prices at 50-100k and cost of new construction over $100 per sq ft. As a result, you get starter homes at 400k and above. Due to population growth, the older homes in desirable locations are often bid up to new construction due to favorable school districts.
So a dependable income of 80-100k minimum without other debt/unusual expense is required to be comfortable in servicing the mortgage plus not being house poor.

It’s not linear. There are a lot of fixed costs that are the same for a $400k house and for $1M house. Permits, utility connections, etc. costs the same to grade a lot. A $1m will still have one kitchen, so the plumbing cost is the same as for a $400k kitchen. And so on.

Here's what's been happening in formerly modest but ell-located Denver neighborhoods:
1. Buy sweet bungalow (a lot were SEARs kit homes) for ~$1 million.
2. Demolish it, spend $1 million building generic mcmansion
3. Sell it for $3 million.
These numbers are approximate, but the metrics are correct, as described to me by someone in real estate sales here: 1/3 cost of property, 1/3 cost to build, 1/3 profit. They keep building them, so all the previously affordable in-town modest homes become unattainable mansions.

You might add in the deplorable condition that a lot of public school systems plus how many jurisdictions simply ignore crimes for political reasons. So desirable school districts with less poors/minorities/crime get prices bid up on homes and land while undesirable areas with bad schools, high crime, etc. have cheaper/older housing.

"New data published to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Quality of Life Explorer shows that the rates of chronic absenteeism, when a student misses 10% or more of days in a school year – excused or not, among students in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) remain elevated. Countywide, 22% of students met the definition of chronically absent during the 2022-2023 school year."

2. Demolish it, spend $1 million building generic mcmansion
3. Sell it for $3 million.
These numbers are approximate, but the metrics are correct, as described to me by someone in real estate sales here: 1/3 cost of property, 1/3 cost to build, 1/3 profit. They keep building them, so all the previously affordable in-town modest homes become unattainable mansions.

That’s the exact formula in my ‘hood. It’s an older area, homes range from built in the 1890/ to the 1930s. Most of them have been well maintained and are desirable since we’re downtown and walkable to everything (but no crime which is awesome).
However as some homes do fall into disrepair they’re bought for say $500k, another $500k is spent to renovate and then sold for $1.5M. Pretty much SOP. It’s roughly 100% ROI for the contractors (not taking into account buying and selling costs). Not a bad return at all.

>>"We bring in people from foreign countries, and then WE pay to lower the cost of THEIR housing? While people who were born here have to pay higher prices?"
As I was saying a big reason housing, food and other prices are so high is because we have 10s of millions of illegals in this country driving demand higher. It's not because boomers won't die and give yutes their houses. That was always stupid.
This war between the generations is dumb and obviously a deflection to keep the focus of Democrat constituents, illegal aliens.

Yes and no. I paid $125k for my first home in the late 90s, which was smack dead center of the comps. Today it would sell for $400k+. As Lizzy noted, a lot of the actual starter homes are being razed and replaced with $400k homes.

It is what builders are building. They simply are not building subdivisions full of 1200 sq ft houses, probably due to profit reasons around cities and suburbs. Noticing that same dynamic around here.
The cheaper options are rowhouses aka condos but even there, many of them are 300k or above for a no or one car garage 1200-1800sq ft condos.
Even RSLs are now about 300k average for the 55 plus crowd and about 1800 sq ft in size with houses about 8-10 ft apart from each other aka semi detached.
Used to be involved in local zoning issues until recently and that is what I am seeing in my exurbs.
There are not small homes available much around here other than old construction and a lot of those are rentals.

Must have a lot of large flat land tracts around you.
My exurbs don't have central sewage pumping and thus septic limitations on lot sizes occur and the rugged terrain doesn't permit those types of large developments. Most remaining tracts are less than 10-20 acres in size and zoning requires minimum lot sizes of 1/2 acre or more. So we get small infill subdivisions at an elevated price point to make the math work.

We saved so hard until it hurt when Junior-ette was born. Were able to fully self fund a Computer Science undergrad for her. Simultaneously, we also took out a college loan in her name that we use for registering, paying for books, lab fees, and dorm costs.

1965-66 $278 public $1,162 private.
2025-26 $10,340 public $39,307 private
Average cost of a single home 1965
Average home sale price (in year sold): $21,500
2024 Average home sale price (in year sold): $512,200.
=====
Add in cost of cars, etc. 1965--average cost of a new car was $2700, $47401 for 2024.
For the average family income versus inflated living costs, they have lost ground in real terms in almost every year (other than in Trump's first term) since the mid 1970's.
This is why the yutes are so upset and remind me of the Weimar Republic era. They are looking for someone to blame for declining living standards and willing to look outside of past solutions to use politics to get what they believe should be theirs.

In politics, when you want to send a message to someone that you like or that has been an ally, you don’t embarrass them publicly. You privately send them information and show them what the reality is.
I think it’s true that he didn’t tell her not to run, but it’s also true that he did her a big favor, which is to show her information that a candidacy statewide in Georgia for her would have been a disaster.

Cynicism and lowered expectations.
But also, Gen-X has a foot in both camps. We're the last generation that grew up anything like Boomers but also have had to adapt to the changed conditions that have produced the generations after us.
I get the sense, anecdotal of course, that Gen-X takes all this generational axe-grinding less personally than the primary combatants.
I tend to see both sides making valid points, depending on the points.

Depends. Medical industry is capturing a lot of it as average nursing home costs about 100k per year or more, less intensive memory care units a bit cheaper at 70-75k on average. And costs of medical care not covered by Medicare/Medigap.
That care can eat up a lot of money in a very short time span and aging children often have severe difficulties in providing for aging parents.
We have massive problems in the West with an aging society, less economically productive, and unwilling to make drastic reforms necessary now before radical change is forced on the situation.

The Morning Report — 11/18/25
42% of likely voters aged 18-39 who identify as conservative want Democratic Socialist to win presidency, Parents and online videos or podcasts are most likely to influence young Americans to support democratic socialism, 52% said their teachers or professors favored democratic socialism when they attended schoolI don't even want to imagine what the respondents who identified as liberal wanted. Way back in the 1960s, the lower end of the aforementioned cohort had the battle cry Never Trust Anyone Over 30 Bitterly ironic and catastrophic is how many of them reached that age to become academics, the very ones they railed against trusting. Had they only met the same fate as their contemporaries Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, or blew themselves up in Greenwich Village townhouses making pipe bombs as their expression of universal love and brotherhood. How much better off we'd all be. Alas, the Communist myth of utopianism and self-hatred is a hell of a drug. So we're primed to get Mamdani'd right in the neck. Or are we?
Decades in the making, Western civilization faces a profound crisis in its political leadership. The problem the West confronts is clear: for too long, Western leaders in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. willfully abandoned the core principles of Western Civilization. They adopted policies that were both foreign and antithetical to the historical civilization of their countries and the societies that their fathers and mothers knew, which had, in fact, nurtured the very leaders who then labored to destroy it. These policies, including multiculturalism and progressivism, were anchored in Marxist-Leninist thought. Their impact has been catastrophic. Their consequence is that the future of Western Civilization is now in the balance. This was done deliberately. The policies had the effect of weakening the Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment core principles of the West. These included intentional and sustained efforts to evict these principles from the public space while opening their borders to mass immigration from non-Western peoples. This has been done so massively and so quickly that most Western European states, including Ireland, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, are at great risk of destabilization. Importantly, those states that rejected mass immigration, Hungary and Poland, are not. .. The West is thus in the curious position of permitting its statues to be toppled and its civilization destroyed by those who have the freedom to hold the West in contempt, a freedom that was made possible by that civilization. Of course, the West’s enemies do not care about that irony. The point is to destroy the West, and Western freedoms will be weaponized against Western peoples. In the end, it was Western Europe’s leaders who have intentionally and consistently made this situation possible.The focus of this essay is on western Europe but is most certainly applicable to what we are experiencing right here in the good old US of A. And its these leaders who for the most part are or were the cream of the crop of Academia. Some of them, not so much.
Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said President Donald Trump had caused a “consistent spike in the violence when it comes to politics.” Crockett said, “I believe that we all need to pay attention to Trump and how he acts. He is the cause of all the confusion and the destruction that we have seen in politics. As far as I’m concerned, because it used to be we could disagree, and that was that. I disagree with a lot of Republicans, but it does not necessarily turn violent. Ever since he’s been introduced into politics, we have seen a consistent spike in the violence when it comes to politics.”And yet this urine-saturated lice-infested whorehouse mattress somehow became an elected member of our House of rRepresentatives.
Elsewhere, is shit about to get real "down Souse American way" as Carmen Miranda would croon? John Bolton, the inept, egotistical warmongering buffoon reacted to our biggest carrier, the USS Gerald Ford arriving off the coast of South America, with what to me is a Luca Brasi/Johnny Fontaine Godfather reference:
“Well, I think the drug smugglers can obviously see what’s happening. It’d be stunning, as they do, that they don’t shift their routes and find other ways to get drugs into the United States. Let’s face it, it’s our demand for the drugs that’s giving them the incentive to try this; they’ll find other ways. But it also shows the confusion in the White House’s objectives. If it’s simply about illegal narcotics, that’s one thing, but it seems to be about overthrowing Maduro. Why else bring the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group from the European theater to the Caribbean? Trump has now put the gun on the table. The question is, is he going to use it or not?”Either his signature or his brains will be on the paper! Aside from being a communist thug, whose legitimacy as that nation's president is dubious at best, his close strategic ties to both Iran and the Chi-Coms have made his regime a national security threat to both America and our allies in the region. Neither of the aforementioned can be allowed to have any kind of a foothold or influence. Am I looking for a war, no. But flexing of our muscles if done very carefully and intelligently can yield the results we desire and that are necessary. Maduro must indeed go as well as every other Communist regime in South America and the Caribbean, let alone the world. And south of our seemingly reappearing southern border, thank you President Trump, the Mexican people are sick of the narco terrorists and their corrupt government, and are taking to the streets...
Is President Trump's show of strength against Venezuelan and Colombian drug traffickers having an unexpected knock-on effect in cartel-plagued Mexico?It's hard not to think that when one sees the intensity of protests like these at the center of Mexico City:In the long term if the pressure is kept up, no doubt it helps our situation at the border, despite most of the violence coming from American leftists attacking our own ICE agents and police. It's a fine thing to defeat communism abroad, but we are going to have to crush the life out of it right here at home before they can crush us.
This is not the Democrat party of thirty or even twenty years ago. It is a party determined to transform this nation and destroy the foundations of Western Civilization. Because of federalism and its overwhelmingly successful 250-year history as a capitalist-based constitutional republic, they will never succeed in peacefully transforming the United States into a one-party socialist oligarchy. However, it’s very likely that they will succeed in violently fracturing the nation, fomenting civil conflict, and hastening the death of Western Civilization.

Big Govt bring is 10 to 12 Million new people in less than 4 years and that creates a massive housing problem so the answer to that problem is a Big Govt Rent Controlled Housing.
The destruction of 500,000 (public) housing units in the 80s and 90s was a Progressive Plan to 1) move the poor into every suburban community, 2) open the city centers to be remade for the well-to-do, and 3) push (D) voters into (R) precincts.

With all do respect to the commenters here who hold this same opinion, this is the stupidest thing ever. Erase the filibuster so that uniparty GOP - who can't get shit passed out of the House, which doesn't have a filibuster - can ram conservative priorities through the process and get them enshrined into law...
Until the Democrats take power and remove all of them because the filibuster no longer exists. Yay! We get to have the laws in this country whipsawed around as the sheeple lurch from side to side.

I'm currently reading, and almost finished with, Grant by Ron Chernow. It's an enormous book, clocking in at over 900 pages, but it is a masterpiece of writing, imo.
I can't begin to tell you the parallels I've come across from how the Democrats were then, and how they are now. The southern D's after Reconstruction were off-the-charts with violence to achieve their goals. As much as I knew about it beforehand, it still astounded me. They are a violent, violent party. They have always been violent. They'll probably always be violent. The violence comes directly from them, then and now. This POS broad can shove it up her false eyelashes and weaves.

I like the various medical cost sharing organizations model. The costs of acute medical care are spread around to all members (plus the administrative vig).
This puts skin in the game. They also cherry-pick their members by requiring relatively clean life-style (no profession cliff-divers, or chronically ill, obese, drug addicted or requiring counseling and psychotropics). A lot of the bills we had to help pay were baby delivery.
From what I understand, modern health care insurance is akin to auto insurance where "insurance" pays for wear items and your fuel. This is probably the fattest slice of the medical cost pie, with the secondary all of the various administrative grift and overhead.

Maybe, maybe not. I was reading about the Army Mcarthy hearings in the 1950s, the State Department files, Truman basically confiscated all the background checks and loyalty files of the entire workforce, and wouldn’t let anyone see them. The F.B.I. had the goods on a lot of scurvy characters, they were running ops and made sure Mao prevailed in China, and the loss of 100 million people behind the Iron Curtain, and tried the “limited war” in Korea, and screwed up Hungary, and Cuba, etc.
Guys like Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Symington, et al, the kind of Democrat that Republicans profess to love, had access to those files and knew what was what, but in open committee hearings would say exactly something opposite. The rot goes back a long, long ways and continues to this day.

It can't and won't end, immediately or ever, not unless it is forced to. We're beyond the point of an electoral event altering the implacable and self-destructive delusions of the elite. This is what so many of these well-meaning, naively hortatory essays miss. Perhaps because addressing the real issue, i.e., what being "forced to" means in real terms, would risk sounding "far right" (God forbid!).
Lincoln understood the crisis he faced when he said "measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the nation." This is the paradox of crisis the intellectual and political Right does not yet seem willing to confront.

We know what's to be done. It is increasingly clear that the ballot box is simply too compromised to be an effective block to the left.
And despite her hoodrat-level IQ, Crockett is actually right, for once. Trump is 'the cause of the confusion and destruction" in politics. His election and re-election have forced the left to abandon their soft-pedal, heart-tugging propaganda and resort to violence in a desperate attempt to regain the high ground. For all his faults (and I think he has a great many), Trump is the first man in a long time to punch back at the left in a way that is more than symbolic.
I am increasingly convinced that the only way forward for the right is either massive civil disobedience or unrestrained violence. I do not see normal, stable 'elections' (as if there are any) as a viable path. But YMMV.

Its not a single variable equation as you have it. Also include inflation, increased costs due to regulation and risk, scarcity, and greed (among many other variables)
One policy that would help with home affordability would be a return to COVID-era remote work. Trends are going the other way, partly to keep big cities from turning into ghost towns.
I don't think management gives a single fuck over a city's decline in tax revenue in their staffing location decisions.
but remote work seems to me a more moderate policy than the elimination of private property.
If it can be remoted a few miles away, it can be remoted a dozen time-zones away.

My regular checkups consist of the same blood tests which show the same things which allow the doctor to tell me, once again, that I should take drugs which I refuse to take and then bill me.
At least for me, "regular checkups" does not equate to what I remember as being a physical. I assume that's a result of regulations associated with Obamacare and desire to spread things out into as many office visits as possible to pad billing on the part of the doctor's organization.

None of the Bizarro World dystopia we are currently enjoying would have been possible in any way whatsoever, without a currency completely untethered to real economic output. Legislation and laws ultimately cannot compete with imaginary numbers, strangely enough.

That certainly will crush the family farm, ranch or business. The patriarch dies and the state seizes the assets and destroys whatever income the family had... or "sells" it to a Party Member or affiliated organization.
That may be why most wealthy families have adopted living trusts - to get around nonsense such as this.
Think about Space-X if Musk were to suddenly die.

The number of 1st time home buyers is at a record low.
The average age of a 1st time home buyer is now 40, a record high.
There's some other screaming sirens of danger as well.
One thing I've seen, and this is just a complaint, is that the 65+ are holding their houses, refusing to sell and voting against any policy that increases supply b/c it'll reduce their home value.
Maybe.
But what I do know is Powell is killing housing (and the economy) to benefit Dems.
His higher rates keep those who want to sell from selling and those who want to buy from buying.
Republicans are offering less than nothing to address this. But they sure AF roused themselves to attack Trump's suggestion.

The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule is a provision of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 that requires federal funding recipients to take proactive steps to eliminate housing discrimination and promote fair housing opportunities.
You will have Section 8 and your will pay for it 3X:
1. FHA taxes.
2. Developer fees in your middle class housing project to support multi-family housing.
3. Income support (vouchers).
PS Did you know that there is a Greater Than 750 Credit Fee on you new home loan? Yes Fees are tacked onto good credit borrowers by banks to cover the cost of bad credit borrowers they are forced to lend to.

No shit. At the end of World War Two, the entire planet of industrialized nations was smoldering rubble with the sole exception of the geographically isolated United States.
We made everything because the world needed everything Right Now in order to rebuild.
The labor unions exploited the hell out of this arrangement and wanted executive wages for menial work that was often performed while intoxicated or hung over.
When Japan and Germany returned on-line the end was near. Then Jimmy Carter gave China MFN status bringing on China and pretty much guaranteeing America's industrial dominance would end.
Then the internet and H1 delivered the rest of Asia and India into the economic picture, driving a stake into the heart of any notion of wage growth.

It is unsurprising that people do not just willy-nilly divest themselves of their residences just because they turn 65. Many people like having a place to live. Many people 65 and older still work for a living.
How exactly are people in the general public voting against policies to increase the supply of housing? Do they realize that is what they are doing? What measures are on these ballots? When are these votes being held?

That's a fair assessment.
But, Avatar also has other problems;
1) Regardless of the pretty pictures on screen, both movies feel like long lectures on the Eeeevils of Humankind and a Squishy Treatise on the Cute and cuddly Nature of Nature until it must rise up to enforce Protard values.
2)The only admirable human characters are, for lack of a better word, "Species Traitors".
This is the leftist view of the VietCong applied to a movie- Why don't you hate the Big Violent Aggressive American Soldiers and love the cute little forest people who just want to live in communist all-natural Heaven.
3) So, in essence this is a movie made for human hating furries. A small but growing gaggle of lunatics.
It's a movie that alienates its audience as it "entertains" them.

They're also, frequently, not in starter homes. Now, admittedly, them not selling could, theoretically, prevent someone in a starter home from moving up but where would the olds move to? A smaller home? That doesn't help supply for the yoots either.

The movie is proof that Hollywood doesn't get the concept. When the boyfriend shows he's a scum, Winslet calls him a "bastard." The year is 1912. She'd have said "coward", and it'd hurt more.

A consideration for those who are empty nesters where the kids aren't nearby or return for holidays - since you don't need to move for work or to be closer to family, where you land is where your church, your neighbors, your social and shopping habits are going to remain.

The left believes that reality is a shared delusion.
So, maybe no one flushed a koran down a toilet, but they were thinking bad thoughts about Islam so its really all the same.
And by publicizing this lie we got a lot of them to stop thinking bad thoughts...or at least admitting to them publicly...so it was worth it.

I find the entire situation very illuminating. A large majority of Democrats obviously believe illegal immigration is not illegal. They are going to the mattresses to keep tens of millions of people who are here illegally in the country.
And then they turn around and whine that housing, food and everything else is too expensive. It's certainly not the only cause but in any situation where you increase demand for a finite good or service the price will go up. Democrats don't understand this because most of them are dumber than dogshit.
Before we toss old timers in the street and blame them for yet another problem bedeviling the yutes how about we get the 10s of millions of illegals out of the country and see how that works for starters.

The argument is, "The guys I want to settle down shouldn't care if I did pron/hooking because that has nothing to do with them" and they will get into arguments with men on the show that will tell them that's not how it works.
And it is honestly even more interesting when they bring on normal women and they too get in arguments with the OF girls...

Talk about a ship that got cursed. Used as the stand in for Titanic in the Goebbel's movie. The director got denounced for having a defeatist attitude and killed himself in jail. The movie itself consumed large quantities of material, time, and people before being shut down.

For non-investor types... there's a thing called sequence of return risk. This says that the absolute worst time for a market downturn is right when you retire. It can turn a successful plan into an unsuccessful plan PDQ.
A lot of advisors will suggest returning to safer investments the closer you get to retiring.
Bitcoin is more of an inflation hedge then anything else though anyway, and Trump ended Bidenflation so...

Security by obscurity actually works. If one had an OS/2 computer that surfed the web, due to hacker unfamiliarity with the OS, it would be relatively impervious to attack.
For a long time after it rolled over and died for desktop users, some bank atms still ran on OS/2 due to its reliability and obscurity from hackers.

Good stuff. Was over on "The Vinyid" earlier this year with my lady, visiting another couple -- a high school friend of hers. We went through some area that I believe was in the movie (the 3 of them started talking about it). I had to admit some shame in never having seen it. And yet, despite saying at the time that I'd watch it, I still haven't.

Bitcoin is simply a computer based conversion of energy and computers via software into crypto currency via 'mining'. Its scarcity is based on the production of the specific 'block' becoming harder and harder to resolve as miners vie with each other to solve the crypto puzzles to get the cookie (a bitcoin).
The easy solutions are long gone so it requires more and more computing power (and energy) to solve these puzzles--thus creating artificial scarcity based on costs of inputs.
Sort of like a declining gold mine may have gold but it gets more and more expensive to ferret out the metal and separate from the dross.

I think it was in part a soft default of US currency like when Nixon went off the gold standard setting off similar inflation waves. In Nixon's case it was the inability of Bretton Woods to accommodate the US becoming a debtor nation too. In Biden's case, it was the increasingly burden of the existing federal debt and its servicing.
Biden's term resulted in a 25-30 percent permanent devaluation of that debt into cheaper dollars. A hard default would mean basically spending in US budget would have to drop to what it brought in as taxes. That would be about a 30-35 percent decline putting the US into an immediate depression for a time.
Sovereign defaults generally require austerity aka poverty for about 10-12 years or so before a slow recovery. Then you have nations like Argentina that went in one century from one of the richest countries in the world to one of the poor ones via repeated defaults based on government overspending.

Top Story
- If you gaze too long into CoreWeave, CoreWeave gazes back at you. (The Verge) (archive site)
Some actually sound reporting from The Verge's usually reliably crazy Elizabeth Lopatto, about deeply dubious datacenter holding company CoreWeave.But as I began to look more closely at the company, I began feeling like I'd accidentally stumbled on an eldritch horror. CoreWeave is saddled with massive debt and, except in the absolute best-case scenario of fast AI adoption, has no obvious path toward profitability. There are some eyebrow-raising accounting choices. And then, naturally, there are the huge insider sales of CoreWeave stock.
Yes, naturally there are those.
Wait, what?After I unfocused my eyes a little, I realized CoreWeave did make a horrible kind of sense: It's a tool to hedge other companies' risks and juice their profits. It's taking on the risk and the costs of building data centers that bigger tech companies can then rent while they build their own data centers which may very well wind up competing with CoreWeave. What's more, it's part of a whole stable of companies that are propping up demand for the behemoth of the AI boom: Nvidia.
The usual names pop up in the list of investors in CoreWeave. Nvidia is a major investor and is selling the company billions of dollars worth of GPUs, which CoreWeave then provides access to for customers like OpenAI and Microsoft, which are also major investors.
It also has billions in outstanding loans at variable interest rates.
It's not a bubble.

Also, don't use AWS US-East-1 (Virginia). Yes, it's the flagship location, but it's also the least reliable in terms of major incidents in recent years.
- Speaking of Virginia, NetChoice has sued to overturn the state's one-hour limit on social media access for children under the age of 16, on the grounds of, and I quote, "Are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit?". (The Verge)
Well, paraphrase.
- The EU is looking at whether it can subject the major cloud providers like Microsoft, Google, and AWS to the idiotic rigours of the Digital Marketplace Act without them simply pulling the plug on the entire reeking continent and leaving them to calculate the penalties on abacuses. Abaci? Holy crap, it actually is abaci. The more you know. (Bloomberg) (archive site)
The leading European cloud provider has a reputation for becoming entirely too cloudy at times.
- Professional bloviator and occasional US Representative from California Ro Khanna is now complaining about the use of AI in video games. (PC Magazine)
AI has been used in video games since 1951.
Yes, the game in question - the latest game from the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 7 - is kind of crap, but the culprit there is human laziness and not AI.
- Luminal has raised $5.3 million to develop a better standard framework for code running on GPUs. (Tech Crunch)
This is one of the most sensible investment stories I've seen in months. GPUs simply calculate lots of numbers very quickly, so even without AI distorting the market, better tools for making use of that power are well worth a few million.
Musical Interlude
Disclaimer: Yeah, I read it as $5.3 billion for a moment.

Had that 2 weeks ago. Based on a moron's comment weeks ago, I bought a very simple sinus wash bottle kit. Added the included salt sachet to the water along with one drop of pure eucalyptus oil. Was a big help. Doesn't replace meds but it gave instant relief.

Weird dreams last night; I was in a version of the Sinatra Ocean's Eleven mashed up with a 1960s musical rom-com. Sometimes I was Sammy Davis Jr's buddy, sometimes not, but each time in the middle of a hopeless unrequited love affair with some Hollywood beauty (romantic frustration being a constant in my dreams).
Hoping for an easy day today, as I could really use a long nap after work.

Apparently Wisconsin and Michigan (which have internet related child protection laws) have discovered that VPNs exist, that kids can use them to get around restrictions, and these states are profoundly unhappy that people would choose to go around those laws in this manner and so wish to ... ban VPNs entirely.
I think this might actually be worse than the repeated demands by various governments to "put backdoors in encryption routines so we can access all encrypted content - we won't ever abuse it and the forces of darkness could NEVER exploit this weakness, swearsies".

Which, by the way, I watched the first three hours (!) of last night on Movies! A beautiful film, the settings and appointments and casting all being great. Rex Harrison as an older Julius Caesar, and Roddy McDowell as his nephew and heir Octavian. Liz was gorgeous. Burton, I found, spent too much time declaiming his lines and talking too fast. People who complain about William Shatner's "staginess" or "ham" tendencies should watch Burton here. Like Bill, he's electric and you can't take his eyes off him . . . but unlike Bill, he sometimes fails (at least here) to come across as a living human being.

The new issue of Fortean Times magazine has a piece about 'lucid dreaming' which I will have to forward to you. One part of the article which really interested me talked about how, during dreams, people with no aptitude for the fine arts can 'create' masterpieces in their dreams, yet can never transmit the art to waking life. That happens with me - I cannot read nor play music, and yet I have dreamed songs and even whole movements of symphonies which, conscious, I could never even begin to attempt.

True. In dreams I am often aware of a flavor to the moments, a sensibility, that in waking times I struggle to get down on paper in a similar scene. Of course many writers have professed themselves disappointed in their own work, that they felt they failed to encapsulate or express the important parts of a scene or an entire work -- even though others think they did beautifully.

Cleopatra is my next-favorite movie after Sunset Boulevard. I love it, even with Burton's hamminess and Taylor's less-than-commanding voice. The ending of part 1 and the very ending of the movie are both breathtaking set pieces.
Ben Mankiewicz of TCM did a 6-part (I think) podcast called The Plot Thickens about the making of the movie and how it destroyed his great-uncle. You can find it on Sirius XM.

But those who think William Shatner overacts need to have a look at some of Burton's work.
Still, the panoramic scenes in Cleopatra -- the opening shots after Caesar has defeated Pompey, for instance, or Cleopatra's barge arriving in Tarsus harbor -- are stunning. You get the feeling it might really have looked like that in life.

It's a good excuse to get in some highway driving, and possibly to drop by the pipe shop for some supplies. And I have to buy dry chow for the Furry Thugs while I'm out.
These are all the kind of errands I used to cram into a Saturday before I retired. No wonder I was still weary on Monday morning.

My theory is our brains are like calculators or whatever and recombine melodies and tunes into new derivative tunes from ones we already know. When you hear a new riff in your head it’s best to record it, like Keith, because they are like dreams, and you’ll forget them.

If she had a garden, then maybe that would be nice. Though we all know how women are supposed to *hate* being given household or "useful" gifts instead of jewelry. I dunno. Mrs. Wolfus No. 2 liked getting something for her kitchen (though I was always careful to include a more romantic item with it).

Dad pulled me aside and briefed me early on about that. If there is a household item that needs replacing anyway, that cannot be a gift. Vacuum cleaners, electric fry pans, etc., are right out. He did sort of bend the rule and got her a Microwave oven for Christmas one year, that was OK because it was about 1971 and they were brand new on the market. She was enthused about that.

One of the reasons given in the article was the recent AWS and Azure outages.
I do this for a living, and any company that doesn't have at least a multi-region strategy if not a multi-cloud strategy is a company that doesn't care whether they're down. This isn't a problem with "a small number of players controlling the market", there are dozens of Tier 2 cloud providers out there. It's a problem with developers with no operations or system design skills thinking "cloud" means "we don't need Operations any more".

A senior conservative legal scholar who holds one of Princeton University’s top academic chairs has resigned from the Heritage Foundation’s board in protest of the think tank president’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Robert P. George, long regarded as one of the right’s leading constitutional thinkers, is the latest figure to step down amid an internal revolt that has already prompted at least seven other staffers, fellows and task-force members to sever ties.

"It was a little bit unexpected. We were anticipating this would be a normal zoning hearing," said Dave Sander, solicitor for the Plymouth Township zoning area.
Less than an hour into the meeting, one of the parties raised an issue that halted the process.
Sander said it "came to light from one of the parties that the applicant did not have legal standing to proceed with the application. It turned out that the agreement of sale that the applicant was signing with the owner of the property was not finalized; therefore, the applicant does not have legal standing."

Overnight Open Thread (11/17/2025)
Federal Firearm Indictments Up 292 Percent Under Expanded Project Safe Neighborhoods in Northern Illinois
The number of defendants charged in PSN firearm indictments is up 287 percent compared to last year. The PSN program is an evidence-based program that focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders while bringing together a broad spectrum of stakeholders to identify the most pressing violent crime problems and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. One such problem is violence in Chicago's downtown neighborhoods and public rail system. In June of this year, U.S. Attorney Boutros announced an expansion of PSN to include the economic centers in downtown Chicago and the entire rail system operated by the Chicago Transit Authority, including all train lines.Sorry, it's a TownHall link, which means it can be nigh unreadable with the popups and other ads splashed all over the place. And to make it worse, there is a huge amount of government jargon and obfuscation. But the salient point is that the federal government is charging and prosecuting violent criminals. I know...I know...it's a crazy idea, but it just might work!

2. There is, also, the possibility of waking up in all kinds of compromising situations and perhaps even that ONE single Epiphone where if forces you to take a seat, and tell yourself. "Wow, I was lucky this time. But, I can't keep doing this, or I'm looking at big problems." And, then proceeding forward with a new vibrant, productive, and achievement based attitude.

Well more like bumps in the grand scheme. There are the watchung mountains, but i think the highest peak is only around 900ft max. Washington used one of them to scout British positions, because he could see 20 miles away. there is a monument there. It's called Washington rock. I went there a few times just for the historical thing. Then you got more mountains in the north west. High point is around 1800 ft. Again, not real big in the grand scheme, but its better than florida. lol

Geodesy is a complicated, many splendored thing. When we speak of elevation, what do mean? Height about mean sea level. And what the hell is mean sea level? That's were it gets complex. Mean sea level is the "0" equipotential surface of the earth's gravitational field, with centrifugal terms due to rotation. That is, equipotentials in a rotating reference frame. That has now been measured to high precision with satellite gravimetry.
Here's that geoid (height differences exaggerated):

So do I. I lived in Arizona for a year and a half and spent as much time as I could in the desert, mainly the White Tank Mountains. I remember times, taking a rest after a hike, when I would just sit and listen, and the silence was almost palpable; it was quieter than sitting in a room in your own house. And the smell of sun-blasted rock and the feel of clean sand, and the sight of those tall saguaros. It's the only place that I think I ever actually yearned for.

I think you kind of answered your own question. I'm just guessing here but it's because its sparsely populated that you have huge counties out there. Otherwise, you'd have counties with the population in the 10's and no county seat because no town. A guess of course. I expect Texans to jump on this if wrong.

Note that geoid surface is not the actual topographical surface of the earth, sometimes dubbed the "topoid", that's the shape of mean sea level. Note there is a deep hole in the Indian Ocean. And it's matched by a pooched up place over in the South Pacific. And note Europe is sort of pooched up as well.
You can see defining latitude and longitude on that lumpy asymmetric surface would be a mess. Thus an ellipsoid is defined. We take an oblate spheroid (circle at the equator, but with polar radius less than equatorial), and find the best fit such surface to the geoid. That's the reference ellipsoid, WGS84 being the main one used.
Longitude on that ellipsoid is the same as spherical, but latitude is a bit different. It's not the angle of the radius to the surface point above the equator, but the angle of the surface normal at the point to the equator. Thus geodetic latitude is not exactly the same as spherical. The differences are small for the earth, but for high precision work, they are significant.

That is not the same as the height above the geoid, or your elevation relative to mean sea level. That difference is called the geodetic undulation. Right here at my location, it's about -80'. The geoid is 80 feet below the ellipsoid. And that's the proper elevation to use for barometer settings. The GPS elevation can thus trip you up.

Manatee Monday! Cafe
Mondays am i rite? A dentist employs a therapy dog. Evil river otter mimics the cute face-touching behaviors of good sea otters, to infiltrate us with fake cuteness. A ritual mephitic dance. ALL RIGHT WE'RE DIGGING WE'RE DIGGING WHOO HOO THIS IS AWESOME In case you missed it (or in case I forgot to post it): Dog tries to get a baby to play fetch.

In another interesting astronomical observation, they were able to image a Type II Supernova right as first blew for the first time ever. One popped off in a galaxy, NGC 3621, about 22 million ly away. Not a galaxy far, far away, really, but a fairly close one, relatively speaking.
Anyway, seeing it so early, the very day it blew, they were able to measure the shape of the explosion for the first time. It's prolate spheroidal, not spherical. It blows out more at the poles than the equator.

Either way it’s way overblown. 90% of all rentals in the US are owned by either individuals or corporations that own 10 or fewer units.

Not radically different from beef (unsurprising), but IMO somewhat more flavorful (at least compared to the beef that normally goes into restaurant hamburgers).
Which reminds me: can anyone explain why running beef cattle on the Great Plains is such a horrible thing "for the environment", given that the region was formerly inhabited by millions of bison, a creature so closely related to cattle that they can actually interbreed?

Soros Donated to Group Determined to Censor Conservatives (and Group Determined to Justify the Islamic Conquest of Israel)
That George Soros just never stops attempting to destroy western civilization.
EXCLUSIVE: George Soros Gave $250K to British Group Working To Censor Conservative News Sites and 'Kill Musk's Twitter'
The Center for Countering Digital Hate, which does not disclose its donors, has lobbied US lawmakers to create a 'digital regulator'
Chuck Ross
November 17, 2025 The left-wing philanthropy funded by George Soros, Open Society Foundations (OSF), bankrolls a British nonprofit that works to censor conservative news websites and social media companies, including through a plot to "kill" Elon Musk's X by pressuring advertisers and investors to boycott the company. OSF gave $250,000 last year to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for "general support," according to the Soros charity's grant database. The CCDH, under the guise of stopping "the spread of online hate and disinformation," has pressured social media companies' investors and advertisers to censor supposed "disinformation" or other content it deems to be offensive. The organization, founded by former Labour Party operative Imran Ahmed in 2018, has also pressured tech companies to pull advertisements from the conservative websites the Federalist and the Daily Wire over allegedly racist content. The grant, which has not been reported, could resurrect a longstanding battle that Musk has waged with both the CCDH and Soros. Musk has accused Soros of "crimes against humanity" and funding groups involved in violent protests across the country this year. And he has called the CCDH a "criminal organization" and said he was "going after" the group's donors over its efforts to harm X's finances. Last year, the CCDH quietly organized a campaign to "kill Musk's Twitter" by pressuring advertisers to cut ties with the company, according to memos published by Racket News. The CCDH, which the watchdog group Capital Research Center calls a "UK-based censorship advocacy group," met with 16 congressional offices to discuss Musk's lawsuit against the organization, and held "policy engagement" meetings with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.). The nonprofit also lobbied American policymakers toward the creation of an "independent digital regulator," according to Racket News. ... The CCDH does not voluntarily disclose its donors. But some organizations have revealed contributions to the nonprofit... The grant revelation comes as the Trump administration sets its sights on the Soros operation and the CCDH. President Donald Trump called over the summer for Soros and his son Alex, the chairman of OSF, to be investigated for allegedly funding violent riots across the country. The Soroses have denied the allegation.
Soros is also bankrolling an anti-Israel propaganda group.
Oh? It was just a policy choice with both pros and cons, eh?
The left-wing philanthropy funded by George Soros, Open Society Foundations, gave $250,000 to establish a Middle East desk at Drop Site News, an anti-Israel news startup that touts itself as a "reader-supported" purveyor of "completely independent" journalism. Open Society Foundations said the grant, awarded last year, would help "bridge a crucial information gap in independent journalism" in the Middle East, according to its spending database. Drop Site, founded by veteran left-wing journalists Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill in July 2024, has filled that purported gap with a steady stream of anti-Israel coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. Its first major story was a series of interviews that Scahill conducted with Hamas leaders aimed at providing the "public deeper insight into [Hamas's] decision to launch the October 7 attacks in Israel."
"The past nine months of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza have spurred an unprecedented global awakening to the plight of the Palestinian people," reads the opening line of Scahill's story. Drop Site has not disclosed funding from the Open Society Foundations, of which Soros's son Alex took control in 2022.... The Open Society Foundations funneled its contribution to Drop Site through the Social Security Works Education Fund, earmarked "to support establishing a Drop Site News MENA desk to to [sic] bridge a critical information gap in independent journalism." Drop Site has provided little coverage of Social Security, or any other domestic entitlement programs. Instead, its bread-and-butter has been coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, from a decidedly anti-Israel viewpoint.While Soros funds anti-Israel propaganda sites that justify the slaughter of 10/7, he also activates his many paid agents in the media to brand any criticism of him -- any criticism -- as "antisemitic hatred." I've been on the wrong side of that disgusting game myself.

The term "far-right" is the most misused term in journalism. There is NO "far right". The moment one leaves the "right" to start flouncing for nazis and Stalin and all that other nonsense you're not typically simultaneously pounding the gavel for less governmental regulation, free and fair elections, a free market economy, etc. One is either "right", or not-right, but "far-right" is a term the LEFT made up to make boogeymen out of the real "right".

One of the cop stories I once heard was of a rookie in a big city department who shot a dealer in an alleyway, and in that department there had been a sense of comradeship in that if there had been a bad shoot, it was the sort of thing to slip a "kick gun", an unregistered firearm, under the body to prove there was a basis for the shooting. It was rumored to be a thing the cops would do on their own to protect their own.
Well, the coroner showed up among the milling cops and they flipped the body over and found four guns under the body.
If everyone thought that Butler was a hit, and they had to protect the agency or bureau, whichever it was, they would act on their own to both facilitate and cover up any plan and/or incompetence.
Not a plan, but a murmurations of starlings, as it were.
and that means they all need to be crucified.

Did you see the advertisement they did to herald their name change? The Internet is dunking on msdnc for using black actors in their ad.
Why It's Stupid: The message in the ad is msnow, that's the new stupid name, is for "we the people." They show black people as the "people" in their ad. Because they want that much-sought after black audience, I guess. What's more, they chose black actors to pretend they're regular black folk who will watch msnow.

Soros has had a version of his Open Society scam in Ukraine for decades. It was used in the color revolution because that's what Soros and the CIA/State blob do.
Someday we'll probably get the full accounting of Soros' funding of BLM and antifa. Essentially, the 2020 election was part of a color revolution on us.

There is no such thing as "right" either.
It's a convention that was mainly started by Marxists.
But there is no tissue that ties all non-Marxists together.
Heck the fascists and syndicalists believed a good portion of what Marxists believed. And there is a much bigger overlap between "left" and "right" there than there is between Islamics and Constitutionalists, who believe in unfashionably "200-year old document"s.

idk, but JC said of (some of) the Pharisees "you are of your father the devil, and the works of your father you will do".
Clearly it is not all about bloodline. (and the term "Jew" is post JC, there were twelve tribes, but often the faithful had to hide in caves, from "their" own "blood". Often only a "remnant" remained faithful)
Lot offered his pure daughters to the roving sodomists that wanted to "rape" the "strangers" (Gentiles? but really angels). imo, at the moment at least, faithfulness is the key, not bloodline.

I met him at a veterans event at Dallas Love Field in 2018 before he died. He was a vigorous old man at almost 90 that didn't need anyone to hold his hand to help him around. He also had at least a dozen guys on his security detail. He was clear headed and very articulate at that event and gave a fairly long remarks talk without notes or a teleprompter.

One side used rhetoric and the powers akin to a Police State to basically outlaw the other side--and jail Thomas Paine because although he had friends on both sides, he made the mistake of having friends on that side?

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Senate’s top Republican on Monday would not respond to Gov. Mike Braun’s demand he reverse his decision to call off a special session on congressional redistricting.
Senate President pro tempore Rod Bray, R-Martinsville, walked away from reporters and would not answer their questions following Monday’s annual legislative preview sponsored by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
He also would not answer questions about a swatting incident that targeted a member of his caucus, Sen. Greg Goode, R-Terre Haute. Goode has not yet publicly taken a position on redistricting. He held a town hall on the matter on Nov. 1 in Terre Haute.
Bray on Friday threw cold water on the prospect of a redistricting session when he announced Senate Republicans still don’t have enough votes to support new maps mid-cycle and said the Senate will not convene until January.

It's both. Dems are spewing everything they can and the conspiracy tards are eating it all up.
The nutters are disillusioned because they convinced themselves that all their schizo ravings were going to finally get validated, but when that didn't happen they have to turn on Trump ("He must be in on it") so their conspiracies can still somehow hold water in their mushy brains.
The Dems are actively inflaming the retards by brazenly lying about Epstein and claiming Israel controls Trump to keep the lunatics ranting.

If you answered that it was the "left" side of the National Assembly arresting, jailing, and executing the "right" side of the National Assembly, you guessed right.
Now, is the left side for "Freedom"? "Equality"? "Fraternity"? Or just for Equality, once we get rid of the "counterrevolutionaries", and Fraternity, once we get rid of the "counterrevolutionaries", and Freedom, as long as it isn't used to spare the offspring of the nobles who spent a mere fraction of their life enjoying any such thing as "privilege"?
Isn't it more like the myth of "The Right" that they are more likely to jail their foes for merely disagreeing and form a Police State?
Because of how 180-degree this formula is, I say strongly there is no "right"--because it doesn't even fully apply to the original reference!

They were all Jacobins committed to the revolution.
However, if you have observed modern leftists you can probably follow that people who weren't fully on board with slaying the children of nobles for the "crime" of being born to nobility were repudiated as "counterrevolutionaries".
Because leftist ideology tends to move goalposts as they intensify.
So again, which side is "compassionate"?
Want to kill kids for who their parents were? Well you do if you're a "true believer" in the revolution and not some crypto-monarchist!

AH wanted war because they were idiots, and put together something they thought was going to be rejected. Serbia accepted the ultimatum except for a clause that an investigation would be run by AH, which was against the constitution of Serbia. They did agree to allow AH to observe.
AH rejected it any way, which helped flip international sentiment away from Hungary. Then the war when Serbia defeated their invasion was a setback.

Because the most radical group of Jacobins didn't sit on "the far left" of the Assembly, but they were call "The Mountain" or sometimes "Montagnards" because they sat up high in the bleachers.

Lowly Federal Magistrate Orders Comey Prosecutor to Turn Over all Grand Jury Materials, Claiming a "Disturbing Pattern" of Prosecuting a Democrat
Actually the magistrate claimed a disturbing pattern of misleading claims, but I think my translation is more accurate.
This corrupt operator is looking to disqualify the prosecutor, believing that if she is eliminated, no one at the DOJ will be willing to prosecute the Deep State Fixer James Comey.A federal magistrate judge has ordered the Justice Department to turn over grand jury materials to former FBI Director James Comey as he fights criminal charges, pointing to possible government misconduct as reason to grant the unusual relief. Judge William Fitzpatrick referenced several apparent missteps by Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney hand-picked by President Trump to pursue charges against his foe, that may have threatened the proceeding's fairness. He said that Comey's right to due process outweighs the typical secrecy afforded to grand jury proceedings, directing prosecutors to hand over the materials by the end of Monday.It's always Democrats who are discovered to have stronger rights than the ordinary citizen. A phantasmal "intent" requirement was falsely read into the Espionage law to save Hillary Clinton -- by James Comey, of course.
We never grant these motions, but a key Democrat Deep State operative is making it now, soooo.
"The Court recognizes that the relief sought by the defense is rarely granted," Fitzpatrick said. "However, the record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding."
... Though Fitzpatrick did not name Halligan, a different federal judge confirmed at a hearing last week that Halligan was the only prosecutor to present evidence against Comey to the grand jury. Fitzpatrick also said that just one prosecutor was present. The judge wrote that "the prosecutor" made at least two statements to grand jurors that seemed to be "fundamental misstatements of the law." The remarks themselves were redacted in the court filing. But Fitzpatrick said they came in response to grand jurors' questions and were directly related to communications involving Comey. One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey's burden, not the government's, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That statement was made in response to "challenging questions" from grand jurors, Fitzpatrick continued, suggesting grand jurors may have believed that even if Halligan could not answer their questions, Comey would later have to. The other remark "clearly suggested" to grand jurors that they did not have to rely on the record before them and could be assured that the government had more, and possibly better, evidence that would be presented at trial, the judge said. Fitzpatrick also raised concern about the actual indictment returned. Halligan initially sought to charge Comey with three counts, but a grand jury rejected one of those charges. The top prosecutor prepared a second indictment, removing that count, which was accepted by a magistrate judge. But Fitzpatrick said the record seems to indicate that the grand jury did not review the actual indictment that was ultimately returned, throwing the case into "uncharted legal territory."

"One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey's burden, not the government's, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."
The remark was, NO DOUBT, about how Comey was required to testify truthfully before CONGRESS. Someone may have slipped and said the word "trial" instead of "congress". The whole case hinges on whether he lied to congress, so no doubt someone said, "can he lie to congress?"
The second concern is preposterous - the jury saw three charges and rejected one so they redrafted the charging document with two of the three charges. The jury doesn't have to then vote on THAT. Not typically.

Sounds like this fake "magistrate" is trying to OVERTURN an indictment, just like the Democrats tried to Overturn the 2016 Election.
Posted by: Soothsayer at November 17, 2025 05:16 PM (xBXaH)
Federal judges substituting their own non-evidentiary extra-judicial opinion for that of those charged with making the decisions.
Without knowing criminal law, I can see that 99.99% of the time these demands for the grand jury proceedings are denied on the simple principle that the prosecution still bears the burden at trial.
The grand jury is not an adversarial proceeding and the standard is pretty low to bring charges.
Yet, this clown judge is turning the GJ into a full-blown mini-trial. Specifically to give Comey a way to taint and scuttle the whole prosecution.
What's ridiculous is these same judges were bending over backward to help along the prosecution of Trump.
Trump is just 1 of endless examples of how the prosecution miniplates, deceives and plies the grand jury to get an indictment.
That the judge admits that it's rare to reveal but he's allowing this tells you how corrupt this judge is.

First mall in Musical City was 100 Oaks (excepting the downtown arcade). Locals flocked when in opened in 1967. It had Spencer Gifts and John Simmons (fake hippie items). In other words, Boomer Heaven. The famous astrologer and general grifter, Jeanne Dixon, was visiting Nashville and predicted the mall would collapse, leading to much hilarity of shoppers going around with open umbrellas to protect against falling concrete, etc. Fast forward 45 years, and Jeanne's prediction of collapse is vindicated as 100 Oaks lost almost all its tenants and went bankrupt. But there is an Act 2. Vanderbilt bought the mall and turned it into a successful medical office. It's a better location than the downtown campus.

I would have to look it up but I believe that his order violates federal law. Grand jury proceedings are secret by nature and definition. Once they are compromised anyone can question their conclusions because they are not convicting a person they are merely voting on whether the prosecutor has presented enough evidence to warrant charges and a trial.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at November 17, 2025 05:28 PM (0N4FZ)
The clown judge is allowing hearsay. Extremely prejudicial hearsay. *
That is, the "why" they resigned is not admissible as those who resigned can be called to testify.
But here is the clown judge, not just taking that out-of-court statement and also allowing it as true.
Then compounding that clear error by impugning the current prosecutor by implication.
Because he intends to keep his thumb on the scale the whole trial.
*Think of how many defendants would love to have an "expert" testify to the jury that the prosecution shouldn't have brought the charges; that they would have resigned instead. That's the elephant the judge is placing on the scale in favor of Comey.

Yep he is trying to nullify the grand jury indictment on a technicality. If he can do this and make it stick all the way through SCOTUS we as a country are well and truly fvcked.
First of all any past, present or future grand jury indictments can and will be questioned in literally tens of thousands of cases and client attorneys will demand to see everything a grand jury saw, said or voted on. They will then be able to tie up the courts for decades claiming unjust prosecution.

UNREAL. Michigan State Superintendent Sue Carnell doesn’t know how many genders there are. Watch as she draws a complete blank then refuses to answer when asked this simple question.
This is the person responsible for Michigan kids’ education.

And she is very, very cheerfully endorsed by the people of MI, regardless of her being directly elected or appointed by the governor they very, very cheerfully support.

If there was a single shred of anything implicating Trump with epstein it would have been released in October 2016 and hillary would have won. Remember epstein had already taken that sweetheart deal from the fed in 2008. The fib had everything on him at that time and if there was anything epstein had it would have been used against Trump then.

This is the judge tasked with overseeing issues in the Comey indictment. Fitzpatrick's almost 25-year tenure in the DOJ overlapped with at least a few Comey defense attorneys and with Comey himself when he served as deputy attorney general then FBI Director.
Fitzpatrick left the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in 2022 and went straight to the bench. Usually when this happens in other jurisdictions--such as what I saw in DC courthouse where at least 1/3 of the judges had worked in the DC US Attorney's office prosecuting J6ers and Trump associates--judge routinely side with the government and make their life easy.

First of all any past, present or future grand jury indictments can and will be questioned in literally tens of thousands of cases and client attorneys will demand to see everything a grand jury saw, said or voted on. They will then be able to tie up the courts for decades claiming unjust prosecution…….

I read a very long and detailed article about the demise of the UK a couple of months ago. The writer, no particularly "religious" herself, nonetheless implied that 50 years of intentional slamming of religion by the powers that be had crippled the morals of that country. In particular, she noticed that not just "advertising" but that murals and all sorts of official and non-official "art" now covered much of the streets and public areas, and much of it was outright sexual depravity. Once one removes religion from the public thought, it opens all sorts of doors.

That's because the defense attorneys get their day in court if charges are brought. A grand jury is not a court and can't decide guilt or innocence. They are just deciding if the prosecutor has enough evidence to warrant a trial. I do know that some of the stuff that was brought before the GJ my wife sat on no indictments were issued. From what she said it was not a slam dunk 100% lock for the prosecutors every month.

I went before voir dire once and the prosecutor went into her series of questions. She asked point blank what we would think if the State did not present all of its evidence. I let her have it, and quite eloquently. I knew I was out.
The next dude who raised his hand in objection to her statement then said "Yeah, what he said". I thought "If the bailiff doesn't walk me out of here in five minutes I will be in shock." He didn't, but I wasn't seated on that jury. Surprise, surprise. Never have been seated on a petit jury.

Malls Are Dying. Hollywood Is Dying.
Is America Dying?
A formerly profitable mall, once worth $1.2 billion has just closed in San Francisco and was sold for, essentially, scrap.
An iconic mall in San Francisco foreclosed for a fraction of the billion-dollar valuation it once commanded as Covid shutdowns and out-of-control crime left the seven-story behemoth a shell of its former self. Valued at $1.2 billion nearly a decade ago, the San Francisco Centre Mall, previously known as the Westfield Emporium, was sold at an auction on Wednesday to lenders Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the mall served as a shopping hub in San Francisco, with residents and tourists flocking to its vibrant energy and big-name brands. As consumers turned away from the city's sketchy downtown and toward online shopping, however, the mall's value declined drastically. An appraisal at the end of 2022 valued the property at only $290 million, a 76 percent drop from its height before the pandemic. But lenders purchased the property for even less than appraisals, with the final sticker price for the sprawling 1.5 million square-foot mall only $133 million - or just 11 percent of its top valuation.Beyond the matters of covid getting people out of the habit of going outdoors for shopping -- or eating, or anything else -- the other big contributor to the end of the mall is blue-city tolerance of hypercriminality.
Meanwhile, even the NY Times reports that its communist allies in Hollywood are in a Biden-steep decline, with October ticket sales are the lowest in history, adjusting for inflation. Note that the entertainment media never adjusts for inflation, because they're industry shills and always want to claim that we're breaking records which we're definitely not even close to breaking. But October's takings were so puny that the Times realized it had a story if it for once adjusted for inflation, so they bothered to do the very simple math.
At the time, Westfield blamed 'unsafe conditions' and 'lack of enforcement against rampant criminal activity' for the mall's decline.
... Since then, the number of retail stores has declined rapidly. The mall's flagship store, Nordstrom, shuttered its doors the same year. Bloomingdale's soon followed suit, and the mall's movie theater later shut down. The mall currently has only leased 9 percent of its storefronts, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. One visitor from Los Angeles described the mall as 'eerie' during a recent interview with CBS News. 'Coming in, you're expecting so many stores, you know, like a typical mall but it's not that at all,' Romel Pacheco told the publication. ... San Francisco isn't the only city facing a drastically changing retail climate. According to data compiled by Capital One, an average of 1,170 shopping malls closed every year between 2017 and 2022. Projections indicate that the trend is expected to continue, with estimates revealing that up to 87 percent of large shopping malls may close over the next decade.
Theaters in the United States and Canada collected $445 million across all titles in October, the lowest total on record, after adjusting for inflation and excluding 2020, when the pandemic darkened screens. For context, October ticket sales in 2019 totaled an adjusted $1 billion, according to Comscore.Christian Toto writes:
Why? How much time do you have? It's easy to point to the obvious causes: The rise of streaming competitionThat's all true, but I have a darker idea. I wouldn't say it's a theory, because I don't have much faith in it. It's more just a speculation of a possibility. Malls and movie theaters are -- or used to be -- the favored hangouts of bored teenagers.
The shrinking window for films hitting VOD platforms
The rise of consequential video game titles
Social media
Shrinking attention spans in Gen Z
The pandemic fallout And the ones media outlets won't go near. Stars made themselves toxic to half the country with their political views
Stars are, for the most part, over-exposed
The movies just aren't very good, in toto
The Woke Mind Virus still infects the industry
Hollywood has lost touch with the common man
Young people used to love going out just to look for attractive members of the opposite sex. I remember when I used to be a young person, before I turned 29 this past November 13th. Oh, how we young people loved to show off our new "BUM" sweatshirts, our exciting and classy Swatches, our Flock of Seagalls haircuts, and our Frankie Says Don't novelty-t shirts. This wasn't just about these wonderful pieces of eternal fashion. It was about hooking up. All young people think about, or used to think about, was attracting a mate. So even if we could just sit home and watch a movie with our parents, we'd go out to the theaters to see if we'd run into any classmates. Or go to the mall for the same reason. Maybe we'd run into someone attractive while waiting for the Cinnabon sous-chef to finish ladling on the frosting. Have young people stopped caring about sex? Are they just homebound? Or to coin a term: phonebound? Or, alternately: Do young people no longer need to cruise the Main Drag at the wall to have a chance at romantic or sexual stimulation? Do they now just arrange hook-ups on the phone? Is this the biggest reason why Hollywood, and the mall, are taking? Half of kids are incels and the other half are just having random sex with Tinder strangers, so why bother going out either way?
Older people have also become more homebound and phonebound but the economic impact isn't as great because older people are settled, usually, and don't go out as much. The post-29 crowd (which I will be joining myself in several years; I plan to remain 29 throughout the 2020s) is mostly married and thus do not gain the extra benefit of seeing potential mates when they go out. I really don't know what the hell is even going to happen when young people no longer seem particularly interested in finding mates. Related: Billionaire investor tries to help young people actually make contact with the opposite sex by offering a pick-up line. Or rather: An ice-breaker, as we never called it when I was young but they did call it that in the 70s at the Regal Beagle.
Ackman -- who is now worth $9.3 billion, according to Forbes -- claimed the pick-up line "almost never got a No" in his younger days, adding that "the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness." "Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation's happiness and population replacement rates."I don't think it's a good line but I like what he's trying to do. The question is, at least, polite, which is a plus, and also attempts to express an interest in the other person. I think that last part is key. I think women would be actually happy to have someone show an actual interest in meeting them, rather than the usual super-casual, we-can-talk-if-you-want-to method of "showing interest" while actually hiding all interest because anyone who shows interest is uncool and needy and desperate. (Or so the thinking goes.) Related: It was simpler when I was young. Way back when, pickin' up chicks was as easy as getting in your Chevy Chevette, cranking up Def Leppard, and driving to the nearest roller-disco.
Perhaps also helping Ackman's early romantic life -- having married his first wife, Karen Herskovitz, in 1994 -- was his investment firm Gotham Partners, which he co-founded in 1992. It had grown to more than $500 million in assets just a few years later. Users online quickly turned the dating advice into a meme, jabbing at the pick-up line's apparent success rate -- or lack thereof -- in dozens of posts.

The rise of streaming competition
The shrinking window for films hitting VOD platforms
The rise of consequential video game titles
Social media
Shrinking attention spans in Gen Z
The pandemic fallout
A winner of one of the stupid awards they give themselves gave a speech where he begged actors to STOP doing straight to streaming productions because theaters built the industry and theaters should NOT be destroyed because Apple has a streaming platform.
I agree with him.
They've flooded the market with SOOOOO much shit, it's destroyed any desire I might've had to watch a movie.

Some malls were repurposed into apartment homes IIRC.
The Houston Galleria will likely survive because it's already blended in with the Westin Oaks and also a bunch of office blocks.
Also downtown Houston had a tunnel system, so people in offices there had several retail options underground (to avoid, well, Houston's outdoors, which is terrible). Although it might have flooded and been abandoned since I was there.

Also, the economy is booming. WSJ:
The Trump economy appears to be cooking. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has just upgraded its estimate for real U.S. economic growth in the third quarter to a robust 4.1%. This follows a second quarter in which the U.S. economy grew 3.8%, a strong rebound from a first quarter in which the economy shrank by 0.6%.
What isn't booming is employment. Weird to see a vibrant economy with a very mediocre job market. As Bessent says "Wall Street should give way to Main Street".

Young men are having much less of it, but the young women are having plenty. They've haremed themselves to Tinder Chads, and anyone who doesn't meet their absurdly unrealistic 300-point list of requirements, each of which is a "deal-breaker," is "chopped," "dusty," a "brokie," a "creep," and/or gives them the "ick."
This is just one of the problems of our atomized but social-media-obsessed/driven society.

Once was a time when theaters were a place of decorum.
We would purchase our popcorn and soda, proceed to ours seats and quietly talk until projection began. At that time everyone would be mute silent in respect to other patrons and what we expected ourselves.
Theater today is an arena of chaos and clatter not to mention risk of bodily harm.

I highly doubt the mall was ever worth $1.2B. I think what we're seeing in a lot of markets -- real estate included -- isn't a drastic crash in value, but a more realistic valuation of the asset. Some of these assets will end up being sold off to make way for "highest and best use" uses.

I think that's a large part of the problem. The market is so oversaturated with content that no one movie or television show will EVER have the same viewership as they had a few decades ago when there was a lot less content to choose from. The paradox of having TOO MUCH content is that people will eventually decide they can't choose what to watch and thus will turn to an alternative entertainment--like books (which also has the same problem...)
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at November 17, 2025 04:01 PM (IBQGV)
The Mall was a cool place to hang out. There was a kite store, a carmel-corn shop, Radio Shack, book store, bank, barber shop, hair dresser, lots of clothes shops, and a carousel.
I think these days that isn't very much entertainment for anyone, but at the time, it was just right on a cold-ass snowy day.

When groups like that show up and old school Jesse Jackson would feel unsafe, things turn south fast.
Around the hilltop in Columbus Ohio on High street was a fairly nice mall I went to once or twice. But I was worried about the car in the parking lot, it was nearly empty and kind of creepy.
Windsor, Ontario - Windsorstan - has a beautiful mall that's still packed. Nice place to shop.

I don't believe this. I think it's a "thing" for young people to claim they aren't seeking mates, but I don't believe it. It's just a fashionable thing to say.
I don't believe a few decades of social media changes millions of years of evolution.
If anything, the nuclear bomb of changing sexual politics came decades before social media: the rise of "feminism" and normalizing casual sex and promiscuity. That had a bigger negative effect on efforts to find mates than social media has.

Seriously, what IS that? After I got back from TX I saw a meme and sent to son. It said, "they should make a separate airport for people who know how to act like they've been in public before." It's not just the airport, though, it's everywhere.

Writers, directors, actors, producers....these positions are now in the hands of the same people who force feed "THE MESSAGE" to us constantly. The talented writers, innovative story tellers etc. have been removed and blacklisted. There's a great documentary available about how Disney removed all the talented animators from their employment (being that they were older white males) and replaced them with absolute amateurs.
Add to that the insistence on re-boots and sequels on a lot of stuff that should just be left alone.
The select few doing this (and having done this) reflect their own tastes, but don't reflect what a majority of their perceived customer base wants. They end up trying to sell dung covered turnips on a stick. And, no one is buying.

I don't understand this, the land must have some value even in san francisco. Why doesn't some developer buy it up and use the new state laws and incentives to build *affordable* housing? There are tons of incentives and huge tax breaks that the state can give out to builders. I would think buying something up like an old mall and demolishing it to make tiny homes or something similar would be a big hit in CA.
I guess they really don't care about the people of the state.

The economy isn't booming at all and I think Trump knows it, and why, and is just trying to do what he can.
Wages started their death spiral in 1971 and cranked it up a notch in 2020. Too many over 29 don't truly realize how bad it has gotten. In most areas real typical entry level wages, with real adjustment for inflation, not BLS unicorn farts, are about 1/2 of what federal minimum was when shit started falling apart. (not promoting min wage here, just comparing). Comparing non entry level is worse, more like a 75% collapse.
This is ON TOP of the shifts in housing, medical, and tuition. It's not sustainable and the end will be sooner and more sudden than most think.

Before you didn't want that to be your house b/c mom and dad would interfere and be lame b/c your hang out had to be in person.
Now it's on your phone/laptop/etc, so you don't need to GO somewhere, b/c going still involves getting rides from the 'rents. Now, you can just sit down and watch a streaming movie together in a Google hangout or pay a game over Twitch...
Girls stopped going, so guys stopped going b/c THEY were looking to pick up girls who are no longer there...
Plus, all these things cost money...kids aren't getting hired for PT jobs that are all going to illegals, so kids don't have money and seek the cheap...

Observation - back in the day, college drinking seemed to be a nice normal distribution. Some excessive soon-to -flunk-out booze hounds on one end, some hardly-evers at the other, with a solid "let's drink some beers, maybe even two too many" in the middle.
Now, it seems, based on talking with my youngn's, you're either a booze hound or a teetotaler, with not much in-between. Bi-modal.
Same with hooking up. If you're willing, it's available. No need to cruise the mall, work up your nerve. It's just . . . there. So kids are either getting right down to business, or abstaining.

Elon's Optimus robot prices around $20K. Imagine what happens when the same thing that happened with color tvs, digital watches, calculators, computaters, and virtually all other electronics happens?
In twenty years you'll be able to get a cute electronic girlfriend tailored to your particular proclivities, almost indistinguishable from a real girlfriend but without all her bulls***. She'll never get fat. She'll never get knocked up. You'll know where she is and what she's doing at all times. She won't spend your money. If you want you can have more than one and change them out periodically.
It will be the end of the human race.

It takes discipline and effort to look good: eating a healthy diet, working out, taking care of your hair and makeup, making sure your clothes fit well and stylish, even if they aren't couture. Also investing in your mind so that you can have a conversation that is, uh, like, uh you know, like...

It is not and people have been huffing paint for 40 years trying hard to pretend it isn't happening.
We have run out of room to play games hiding it by replacing quality labor and products with crap via outsourcing and offshoring, and by blowing bubbles.
I think Trump has an OK shot at making something good out of being the last ones standing (which is also pretty tranparently what China is angling for, now). But getting from here to there will be rough absent a legit miracle of some sort. And I don't expect all this AI hype to be that miracle when the clearest symptom of the problem is decoupling productivity from wages in the first place.
TL,DR the bankers are just about done robbing us blind and it isn't clear how they can keep it going.

Most of my high school friends growing up in Las Vegas were Mormons -- and virtually all the guys went on two-year missions before coming back and going to college.
Then barely turned out to be extremely successful in business (they already had a built-in network via their Church within which to network) and sales (when you get the door slammed in your face thousands of times, you stop taking rejection personally).

Morons need permission to enter your domain, like vampires. Don't give it to them.
Posted by: bonhomme at November 17, 2025 04:26 PM (Yp6az)
======
Is permission tied to the property itself, the person who granted it, or the relationship between person and property?
Like, once granted, can a vampire enter that property forever? No matter who owns it?
Or, can the vampire enter any property by the person who granted access?
Or, can the vampire only enter that one property own by that one person?
Also, is ownership required? Can some rando invite a vampire in?

Is it easy? No, self sacrifice that is pleasing to God never is. But it’s the most fulfilling thing you will ever experience.
Posted by: Marcus T at November 17, 2025 04:24 PM (4caix)
Tried that. The values and sacrifice was a one way street of pouring years lifeblood into an unfillable hole of insatiable entitlement. Turned out to be ruinous and almost fatally unfulfilling. What else you got?

I used to be able to do long division and multiply numbers either in my head or with a pencil and paper.
I've used a calculator since the 70's.

In twenty years you'll be able to get a cute electronic girlfriend tailored to your particular proclivities, almost indistinguishable from a real girlfriend but without all her bulls***. She'll never get fat. She'll never get knocked up. You'll know where she is and what she's doing at all times. She won't spend your money. If you want you can have more than one and change them out periodically.
It will be the end of the human race.

Cherry 2000.
better movie than it gets credit for being, I was always amused when our protagonist tries to hook up with a real woman at some seedy bar, and before they can leave the House Lawyer runs over with contracts that must be signed by both parties concerning everything that could conceivably happen if they leave together and intend to have any kind of physical contact.

Those 100, in turn, will spend more than 10 people with $100,000. Those 10 people will, in turn, spend more than 1 person with a $1 million.
The reason is, the people at the lower levels will spend nearly all of it out of necessity, those at the middling levels are still acquiring wants and then luxuries.
The fellow with a $1 million likely has acquired all his needs, wants, and luxuries.
As the wealth aggregates to the top tiers, the retail economy dies. Short of a rejiggering of the class structure or an improvement in wages among the working class, the future of malls is dead, forever.

Ditto The Woodlands Mall and I think the Fountains in Sugarland. Memorial City still seems to do well too... I'm sure online and COVID had an impact, but I think brands realize the importance of at least some brick-and-mortar presence, and consider that part of the marketing cost of overall (mostly online) sales. Anyway, malls have been declining, but it shouldn't be soul-searching news that San Fran, the deepest blue of deep blue cities, had a mall close. We should celebrate how much that city deserves it and how nice it is that a lot of malls in red / softer blue (in red states?) areas are doing fine... I mean, Leftist youth are going furry and trying to kill people (and themselves) for politics. But 'normies' still congregate and aren't a lost cause. Just not as many mallrats as before...

You didn't have a valid cause. Bertha Henrietta Mason was effing insane.
I have studied the issues of invalid marriages. The biggest reasons, IMHO, are these:
Coercion: The woman is pregnant.
Diversity of Cult: On of the party is not Christian and the other does not agree to raise the children Christian.
One or both of the parties do not want children.

Prestonwood Mall was the first to have an ice rink in it long before the Galleria. But within five miles was Valley View Town Center & The Dallas Galleria. Fifteen miles away was the mall in Lewisville and Mesquite the other direction.
So Prestonwood closes. Then Valley View closes.
Mesquite is "in the ghetto". Lewisville closes.
The Galleria and the one in Frisco now are the two malls left.

The one I remember in Anchorage when I was stationed at Ft Rich in the late 80s was Dimond Center. That was my girlfriend's favorite mall because of the skating rink. She got a kick out of watching me fall on my ass while trying to skate. I'd distract her by taking her skiing and snowboarding down at Alyeska instead. We were both pretty good skiiers so I didn't make a fool of myself that often.

Never NEVER let your girlfriend wear your leather bomber jacket. This is what happens.
Week 1: "Can I wear your leather jacket?"
Week 2: "I'm gonna wear the leather tonight, okay?"
Week 3: "I didn't say that you could wear my leather jacket."

Cars have gotten so expensive high school students don't even bother to learn how to drive them. The prime mall age is what, 14-18 or so? These kids can't afford cars.
I got my first (used) car for $1500, which the BLS inflation calculator tells me is $4129 in today's dollars. I paid $35 to get it registered. Can you get a working car for $4129?
Once you include registration, insurance, and gas, can you afford a car after working fast food after school and during summer for a year? Assuming you could get a fast food job.

Surprise: Trump's Would-Be Assassin in Butler, PA Was Interested in Gay Furry Porn
How very unexpected.
Breitbart:That report relies on Miranda Divine of the NY Post.
The individual who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, had an interest in "furries," according to reports. Thomas Crooks allegedly tried to take Trump's life July 13, 2024, as a bullet struck his ear. Crooks allegedly killed Corey Comperatore, 50, and seriously injured two others who were at the Butler rally. There are still more questions than answers, despite the back and forth on Crooks' ideology. He seemed to be pro-Trump before taking a dramatic switch in the other direction, as the New York Post detailed:The source uncovered Crooks' various accounts on platforms including YouTube, Snapchat, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Quora, and more and concluded that this individual "was not simply some unknowable lone actor" but someone who clearly left a "digital trail of violent threats, extremist ideology and admiration for mass violence." Crooks' anti-Trump rhetoric took off in 2020, deeming Trump's followers sheep and Trump himself racist. In one post in August, Crooks wrote, "IMO the only way to fight the gov is with terrorism style attacks, sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it off before anyone sees you, track down any important people/politicians/military leaders etc and try to assassinate them." ... Beyond that, it seems Crooks had a fetish with furries, per the Post:
Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks' hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate [former FBI Deputy Director] misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section of Crooks' online interactions from January to August 2020 when he did an ideological backflip and went from rabidly pro-Trump to rabidly anti-Trump and then went dark, never seeming to post again.Notably, this coincides with reports describing the alleged assassin who murdered 31-year-old Charlie Kirk -- Tyler Robinson. He, too, appeared to have an obsession with disturbing furry subculture, playing pornographic video games and watching content from a user known for "furry porn," who has also depicted pedophilia.
He described himself with the pronouns "they/them" on the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for "furry" art and the "furry" community. (A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often as a sexual fetish.) Two accounts linked to Crooks' primary email were found on DeviantArt, under usernames "epicmicrowave" and "theepicmicrowave." The account suggests he had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.
Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks' online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology. A week later, Wray's deputy Paul Abbate told Congress that comments posted on one of Crooks' social media accounts "appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature." Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks' online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology. Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks' hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section of Crooks' online interactions from January to August 2020 when he did an ideological backflip and went from rabidly pro-Trump to rabidly anti-Trump and then went dark, never seeming to post again. Among the 17 accounts uncovered by our source were ones on YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora. The online interactions from when Crooks was ages 15 to 17 give us a better understanding of his evolution into an assassin, and invite more questions about what -- or who -- reversed his ideology. "The danger Crooks posed was visible for years in public online spaces," says the source. "His radicalization, violent rhetoric and obsession with political violence were all documented under his real name. The threat wasn't hidden." The official narrative claimed he acted alone and without a clear motive, ideology or digital footprint. Yet the source found reams of information that shows Crooks "was not simply some unknowable lone actor ... He left a digital trail of violent threats, extremist ideology and admiration for mass violence. He spoke openly of political assassination, posted under his real name and was even flagged by other users who mentioned law enforcement in their replies. Despite this, his account remained active for more than five years -- and was only removed the day after the shooting. "None of this online activity was referenced in the final congressional report released in December 2024, making this even more troubling," the source said. ... Crooks' trajectory from pro- to anti-Trump is evident. He referred to Trump as "the literal definition of Patriotism" in a comment at 1:17 a.m. July 20, 2019. He also issued several targeted threats against the Democratic congressional representatives in "the Squad." "I hope a quick painful death to all the deplorable immigrants and anti-trump congresswoman who don't deserve anything this country [sic] has given them," he wrote at 8:18 a.m. July 20, 2019. "MURDER THE DEMOCRATS," he wrote in all caps on Dec. 12, 2019. But in early 2020, Crooks' online behavior flipped 180 degrees and he became very critical of Trump, Fox News and Republican complaints about mail-in voting.One of the screennames this gay furry porn addict used was "Rod Swanson," the name of the lead FBI investigator in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. (About which people continue to have questions.) Swanson was contacted for the story. He is retired and has no idea who this gay furry killer is. But he does say that the FBI would have been aware of his violent rhetoric.
The first time he criticized Trump was on Jan. 23, 2020, when he commented on a video of law professor Jonathan Turley talking about Trump's first impeachment. "Keep in mind the only reason we may know about any of this is because of Trump's stupidity," Crooks wrote. He started describing Trump supporters as a cult: "How can you people call others sheep, but you are do [too] brainwashed to realize how dumb you are," he wrote on Feb. 26, 2020. "I mean literally you guys sound like a cult at times." The same day he described Trump as "racist." ... On Aug. 5, 2020, Crooks wrote: "IMO the only way to fight the gov is with terrorism style attacks, sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it off before anyone sees you, track down any important people/politicians/military leaders etc and try to assassinate them. "Any sort of head-to-head fight is suicide and even ambush/surprise attacks likely aren't going to end well. A large portion of the war will also be propaganda/information wars -- both sides will want people to join them, and a big deciding factor in wars is often which side has more popular support for them," he wrote.
When told of Crooks' online threats, he said there was no way the FBI would not be aware of the teenager. "No matter how ridiculous the allegation, no matter if it's COVID or not, somebody is going to knock on somebody's door," Swanson said. "If they investigated that kid there's a record of it and there's an assessment that some leader made that this was not a threat or it rose to a level and they did something else." He also said that "if the FBI had that information [about his name on the PayPal account], I can't even imagine they would not have reached out to me right away." ... One of the people Crooks interacted with online was "Willy Tepes," a member of Norwegian neo-Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has since been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department. Tepes encouraged violence and Crooks' extremism, using a Maoist phrase, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun," which Crooks repeated several times. "People who ask you to contact them when they just as easily could contact you, are Feds. This is how they avoid entrapment. Both American and Russian intelligence does this. I have chatted to both," he claimed. Shortly after his interactions with Tepes, Crooks disappeared offline. Did his brush with the Norwegian and his own violent rhetoric win him a visit from the FBI or the Secret Service?Former Deputy Director Abbate told Congress that the killer's politics included "antisemitism" and "anti-immigrant" views, leaning but failed to mention his sharp turn to the left or his interest in gay furry pornography. The criminal Christopher Wray insisted upon this narrative. If the FBI just doesn't want to name any ideological motive if there is ambiguity about it, why did Abbate claim that Crooks only offered views associated with the "extreme" right?

Mental illness is a thing. A lot of the school shooters or assassin lovers are desperate to find meaning. Trans ideology (and Gay- and many other ideologies of the left) feed into this mental disorder of feeling alone and disposed and offer them a way to belong and give their lives meaning. And to be a victim and therefore have social status at the same time.
So no, I am not surprised.

3. If you follow Mike Benz, he is talking recently about how USAID funneled billions of "Pakistan aid" to create twitter like app in Cuba. The plan was to start with news, information, entertainment to build users, and then start with the anti-regime psychological programming.
4. Do you really think the CIA was not doing the same in USA?
5. What about CCP and tik-tok. We used the very plan to attack Cuba, do you think tik-tok was not created by CCP with same intent to attack the USA? And Jews. And "capitalism"
The point being is that TDS is the direct and intended result of active measures. The only question is was it created by CIA, CCP, or both?

I'm going to say that I'm skeptical of the 75% figure. The reason is that for psychotherapy to take effect, there has to be a therapeutic alliance between therapist and patient - that is, some type of common ground - for recovery to happen. As such, the therapist needs to be objective - or at least perceived as such.
There was an article linked by a Moron a while back about pro-Palestinian NY'ers who couldn't trust therapists that were pro-Israel. By that logic, this guy showing up on FOX just nuked 75% of his business.

This is only half the story. The other shoes to drop are.
1. Targeted "astroturf" techniques as described in that famous speech by Treglia in 2005. They had the ability then to convince politicians of a viewpoint in the belief that it was widely held. This was before the social media, AI, etc. revolutions.
2. A/B testing. We are all now in a rat maze being tested every day, with every search result, headline, newsfeed, etc. They send out various stories, see which ones people react to in the preferred way, and then amplify.
Both of these are extremely powerful to control public opinion, but we hear almost nothing about them. Is this power being ignored and unused, or is information about them being suppressed.

A radical gay encouraged to kill trump by a member of the Nordic resistance movement was not what I expected. Some of the "investigation" comes from Tucker Carlson. So i'll just wait for better information to come out.
Fun Fact: using pronouns or liking furries is not a political affiliation or a motive to kill a presidential candidate.
It's distasteful and reflective of tribalism that whenever something tragic happens, with someone mentally deranged, everyone immediately thinks how to use that tragedy to politically campaign. At least with Charlie Kirk you can say it is what he would have wanted.

I think the current inquiry is over what Halligan said to the GJ to get the indictment. All of a sudden we have to scrutinize GJ proceedings, I guess. But it's not a good fact that the first prosecutor was fired for supposedly refusing the bring the case. As with the gay subway thrower, this case was botched too -- or, more likely, the prosecutor had to bend the rules to get an indictment from a very reluctant GJ.

Natural Convergence.
A group that's at minimum 90% gay men or troons, that like to hide their face behind feature-obscuring costumes, of course are going to converge with the Black Bloc, a left wing anarchist group that also likes to cover their faces.

On the other hand, there probably will not be bag limits on furries or antifa as they are not an endangered species but more an invasive pest type like Burmese pythons in the Everglades.

What? No! Oh, no.
JC Whitney is a retailer of aftermarket automotive parts and accessories. It was acquired by CarParts.com (formerly U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc.), a publicly traded American online provider of aftermarket auto parts in 2010. In July 2020, JC Whitney was merged into CarParts.com.

Their catalogue was a dream. The Sears Roebuck of the car world. Hopefully, CarParts won't adulterate it too much.

The left has opened itself up to all sorts of sexual oddballs. And of course it intensly also tries to get people hooked on this stuff.
Becoming a furry isn't as a permanent as becoming a tranny, but the left will keep telling you that weird fetish you have is perfectly normal and would be celebrated...if not for those evil people like Trump...

Both.
This is what A/B testing does - they create a multitude of possiblilities and see what people react to. Maybe these perversions attract people who are ideally suited to spread hate and spend a lot of time on social media. So they amplify.
Asking which came first is like asking about the chicken and egg -- they create each other through the algorithm. The people in control do not know what will be created, only that it will have the desired results of destroying Western society.
I know this sounds like I am talking shit, but this is how it works. Big Tech has put a lot of time into this to increase engagement and revenue, and channeling that knowledge to control of society is a natural step -- all they needed was a target of hate, and they found it in Trump.

I don't think Ace says this, but Tucker implies it in his video (which was surprisingly good, but now a bit dated.
The logic is this.
1. Crooks was identified by ??? as someone who was unstable, violent, and easily manipulated.
2. He was contacted by "Willy Tepes" and turned into an asset
3. He was programmed to hate Trump, and to channel is murderous desired toward Trump.
So they found a loon, and used him. That is the implication anyway. The question is, who was behind it.

It was a fbi counter terrorism domestic surveillance type. Had the domestic jurisdiction, access to info, and assets for turning coopting a mark like crooks. Small group, have marks across the country. Dial up a domestic hit, with deniabilty. Useful when you are over throwing a govt.

Likely, a foreign entity like the CCP or Iran. Any foreign government that feels threatened by Trump. If not that, then probably our own deep state. Doesn't necessarily have to be CIA or FBI either, even though those would be my first and second choices of domestic horseshit being played out.

Reddit is the ultimate result of A/B testing. They push dozens of stories and comments and see what gets engagement. They amplify the ones people react to.
Those redditors are all being programmed. We look at their comments and think they are loons, but they were made to be loons by the app. In many ways, reddit is exactly what the Left wants to do to all of society - filter out "wrong think," reward good think, and make people crazy with their delusions.

The comic was Bizarre Sex #9 when Reed Waller did a funny animal parody of the Donnie and Marie Osmond show and the last panel depicts a cat-girl screaming to get boinked by the artist's pen. In the background you see all the other furs running away.

There could be something to that. Some guy full of hormones goes through the whole school system, including (in Tyler Robinson's case) some college and all he ever hears is "loser, loser, loser".
Then one person, after 20 years of pain, tells him he's not a loser. Problem: that person happens to be a dude.
It's ... that dude, or going back to being a loser tfw no gf.

If you look in history, the intemperate consumers of politics have tended to be Democrats. That's why they have periodically had their street troops. Actually one of the selling points of Trump was that he actually appealed to certain types of blue-collar Democrats.
But it sorta makes sense that he would slide toward the home of intemperate politics and go full Dem.

And using every sub-sub-sub-culture they can find to create a new oppressed identity group and make them into a constituency. They've already got blacks, Hispanics, women, Muslims and gays (ironic, no?) so they need to dig deeper for more and more subdivisions. And the deeper you dig into social substrata the nastier it gets.

The Nigh-Infinite Racial Grievance of Michelle Hussein Obama
The Diabolic Ms. (?) M. is on a grievance tour to promote her... let's see, what's the absurdly overcompensated, unearned, grift she's peddling now?
Oh right it's her little-viewed podcast. She needs a podcast because the $500 million Netfilx deal, granted to the Obamas to do what they have always done for this ludicrous compensation, which is nothing, just doesn't afford her a grand enough platform upon which to preach about the oppression and marginalization she suffers on the daily. As you probably know, the decidedly unbeautiful sour-faced troll Michelle Obama has been going around saying insane things, like that she's so beautiful that her beauty "worthy of demanding respect" and is "worthy of a conversation." Incidentally, despite permanently looking like she just watched The Ring video and her seven days are up, she's been on the covers of fashion magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan about 38,000 times. In May, she complained about how "expensive" it is to live at the White House mansion rent-free, because, while she does allow that she did not have to pay for rent or for "staff" -- meaning, of course, the small army of butlers, cooks, personal assistants, chauffeurs and 24-7 personal security -- she did have to pay for, get this, all the food that she and her children ate, as well as paying for travel when she doesn't travel with her husband. (Which was, admittedly, most of the time, because they're reputedly a gay beard couple who can barely stand to be in the same house as each other.) One, all people have to pay for the food they and their children eat -- and need to pay their rent (or mortgage) and butlers as well -- and two, you didn't pay for your travel. You were forced to pay the lowest possible price for a commercial coach ticket despite the government then flying you around on the Mansion in the Sky Air Force One or some other government luxury Cloud-Yacht. Ask JackStraw about luxury Cloud-Yachts. And you would only have to pay that if you didn't think of some horse-shit "official" reason for the travel -- like doing a quick meet-and-greet with the mayor of Ibiza or something -- that would get the whole thing covered by taxpayers. And, PS: Other people have to pay their own vacation travel costs, too. And they cannot afford the luxury of his-and-her separate vacations, because vacation travel is expensive and most people are not in gay beard relationships where they wish to escape the oppression of their opposite-sex spouse. She has also claimed that, far from being the most feted and overpraised do-nothing layabouts in human history, who were effusively praised for simply existing, she could not "afford any mistakes" and was under a "particularly white hot glare." She claimed she didn't receive the "grace" other presidential families did. In the world's most egregious case of projection, Michelle Obama then insisted it is whites who spend far, far too much time thinking about blacks and blamed white people for forcing her to straighten her hair because we all apparently give a shit how this ugly sow wears her hair. As a bonus, she claimed that black people don't learn how to swim because... I'm not clear on this, I guess because black people are afraid that water will bead in their naturally curly hair, and this will cause Venomous White Tongues to wag? This is projection. She thinks all day about white people, directing hatred at them -- she wrote her college "thesis" about her deep-seeded racial hate -- and so assumes that white people must be thinking about her all the time too, and we must think even worse of her, thus justifying her angry, bitter obsession with white people. Now she also complains bitterly that young black people are under increased vigilance when they enter stores -- I'm sure there's no FBI crime statistics that could possibly explain that increased vigilance -- and that white people routinely kill black people if they don't carry the right designer hand-bags.Michelle Obama grew up in Chicago in the 1970's. She wants you to believe white people were killing blacks because of how they talked and what they wore. @MichelleObama needs a therapist -- and Jesus. pic.twitter.com/v11d6VZHtZ

@w_terrence Dear Michelle Obama, let me jog your memory since you can't stop playing the victim card for five minutes. You keep talking about how "hard" it is to be Black in America and how white people are supposedly holding you down. meanwhile: You became the first Black First Lady in American history.
You were a well-paid lawyer before that.
You received multi-million-dollar book deals. You and your husband walked away with a $60 million Netflix deal despite zero experience in film. You and Barack left the White House richer than you entered. You own multiple multi-million-dollar homes , including oceanfront mansions.
Your family's net worth is over $100 million. All of this happened in the same America you claim is "unfair" and "holding you back." Instead of fear-mongering and discouraging Black Americans, maybe try showing some gratitude for the country that made you one of the most privileged people on the planet and start inspiring Black people instead of convincing them they're powerless. Because if America was really as bad as you say, Michelle, you wouldn't be living the American Dream at the very top of it.
Michelle Obama says her parents were "suspicious of folks who took more than they needed."

She knows she's not oppressed in any way, shape or form.

She is intentionally poisoning the minds of millions with destructive lies. She is injecting hate, pure hate, into the vein of America.
She wants black Americans to be hateful, resentful, bitter, hobbled and poor.

As far as swimming, their bone density is higher than us inferior white peoples. Granted I have extra buoyancy from my front anatomy plus extra fat in my behind. Even when I was a slim supermodel I could float on my back and possibly be used as a floatation device in the event the ship sinks.
My runner husband sinks like black people, altho he is of Eastern Europe DNA. He dislikes swimming and I dislike running. He can swim, however, but not without effort like me.
Mooch needs to bring up her stellar (not) job, DEI hire, at a Chicago hospital. Where she would steer the unwashed and poors to another hospital. Which is in violation of EMTALA law. I still think this is why she no longer has a law license. She was making 200-300k for this job, as I recall.

While I understand the popularity and the strategy of that statement, I can no longer support it. I *do* care about trans adults. I care that they trying to serve as an example of a *choice* that kids can grow into.
And there are plenty of such adults spreading the idea that "men can have babies" (if we just call people who think they are men "men"). No, it would be a mistake to say "I don't care about adults who identify."
The economy of ideas, to me, suggests that very few people trade in exact concepts. And that adjacent ideas have to be discouraged to get the proper straddle of the target.
Ultimately, I do not want to *suppress* anybody's decision, but that's not "I don't care about.." or if it is it just shows the meaning spread, which illustrates precisely my point of dealing with the spread of interpretations.

Internet says:
Adjusted bone density at various skeletal sites was 4.5-16.1% higher for black than for white men and was 1.2-7.3% higher for black than for white women.
But there are recent studies, only recent for some reason, where they attempt to show the difference.
Final determination:
The results indicated similarities in arm span, trunk flexibility, and full inspiration and exhalation of Black and White subjects. However, there were differences in body fat distribution (P ≤ 0.05) and buoyancies (P ≤ 0.01), with Whites storing more fat and having better buoyancy than Blacks.

The machine that is used to print microchips.
Guys, I've decided we are damned close to "witchcraft" in our technology.
This lower powered laser is shot at a liquid blob of pure tin shooting across the chamber.
That flattens the blob and a second stronger laser then hits it.
Which causes the tin to release EUV as the electrons change energy levels. Because, as you know, EUV does not occur naturally. With high-speed cameras tracking the tin blob across the chamber to time the shots.
Something at only like 60k per second.
And it's all collected, focused, directed and then writes the microchip.
Which is so small writing, it could write the entire text of every book from a typical library out on the chip.

Thanks Berserker.
I grew up as a military brat in Cali and Hawaii, so I have little experience being around predominately black communities that don't swim.
I kinda reasoned that there are few blacks in SpecOps due to lack of desire, but not being able to swim would be a huge barrier.

Had to get offline for a bit, but one thing you might consider--Air Force National Guard or Navy Reserve. Depending on the state, you can get reduced tuition (or none in some states) for college, get some GI Bill stipends for ancillary training/college, perhaps a signing bonus for some fields (hard dirty work often), and a job skill. I don't advise Army National Guard (dad was an Army officer and retired from it before farming). Army tends to treat people like shit, especially junior enlisted. And the Natl Guard or Reserves is not a full time gig allowing you after your training to seek and hold related civilian employment.
Air Force also has a Community College that is well regarded where you can get credits for doing the job you do in the Air Force. Grandfather was Navy but I know much less about the modern Navy but some folks here do. Both the AF and Navy are technical services so you can get some savvy, qualify for a VA home loan, and most probably a job training with education credits on exiting.

she won't have an eternity (unless she actually is a born again Christian, idk). But (imo) for those in the Resurrection of the Unjust, there is a judgement and a second (final) death.

I believe it was said, when Grant moved into the White House, he and his kin treated the place like a barn. They'd tromp around in muddy boots on the furniture, drop their tobacco ashes on the carpets, and generally made a nuisance of themselves.

Washington Post: Democrat Delegate from Epstein Island, the Insanely Vicious and Corrupt Partisan Stacey Plaskett, Asked Anti-Trump Questions at a Congressional Hearing As Instructed to Do by Her Political Financier Jeffrey Epstein
Even the Washington Post is dog-piling on this dog.
Stacey Plaskett is a corrupt and ugly Virgin Islands delegate to Congress, which means she cannot vote for bills but definitely can ask questions in Congress. Including those prompted by convicted pedophiles who financed his run for the position of delegate in the first place.Gunther EaglemanNot only did she take Epstein's money for years -- which she lied about -- but she also worked for Epstein's "shadowy tax and political influence fixer" before she used Epstein's money to buy a position.
@GuntherEagleman Jul 7 If you wondered how seriously our government takes Epstein's crimes, consider this: Rep. Stacey Plaskett, currently serving on three congressional committees (Budget, Ways and Means, Intelligence), solicited donations from Jeffrey Epstein in 2018, a decade after his 2008 s*x offender conviction. She faced no actual repercussions. Six women sued Plaskett and other Virgin Islands officials in 2023, alleging they enabled Epstei''s trafficking by making the territory a safe haven. As of March 2025, Plaskett is the only defendant remaining in the case. Why hasn't Congress held her accountable for her ties to Epstein?
Lee FangShe is a major defender of censorship by the government, and claims that Elon Musk is taking away her free speech by... critiquing her. She goes on to claim that Musk, by criticizing her, is acting like the apartheid-era South African government. It's just always the same sour song, isn't it? She is the corrupt and ugly hack who called Matt Taibbi a "so-called journalist" for exposing Biden's pressure to censor conservatives and smeared him and other "Twitter Files" journalists.
@lhfang Jun 27, 2023 New court filings show Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-VI, one the most popular Democrats on MSNBC, not only lied about her years-long fundraising from Jeffrey Epstein... she also literally worked for Epstein's shadowy tax and political influence fixer before entering public office.
Now the Delegate from Epstein Island is exposed for taking texts from her patron Jeffrey Epstein during congressional testimony aimed at getting Epstein's hated enemy Trump -- and asking the questions he told her to ask, like a pedophile's ventriloquist dummy which he uses to seduce children. This is now confirmed by all of the left-wing propaganda media, including the Washington Post, NY Times, and even CNN.
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes
In the 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents released it shows Democrat Stacey Plaskett was being personally text by Jeffrey Epstein during an Oversight Hearing while she questioned Trump's former attorney He was feeding her what to say Plaskett took money from Epstein "Epstein messaged Delegate Stacey Plaskett while she questioned Michael Cohen. She was actively texting with Epstein during a 2019 House Oversight Committee hearing. While Plaskett grilled President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, Epstein appeared to be providing real-time coaching, with time stamps matching her questions and his messages. Newly released estate texts are part of oversight committee pages. They come from the Oversight Committee, 20,000 pages released from the Epstein files. They show Epstein sending short notes to Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett -- Records also show past donations from Epstein. She was actively being coached and paid by Epstein after he was convicted of sexual trafficking."
Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat who represents the US Virgin Islands in Congress as a non-voting delegate, exchanged texts with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing, the delegate's office confirmed to CNN. "During the hearing, Congresswoman Plaskett received texts from staff, constituents and the public at large offering advice, support and in some cases partisan vitriol, including from Epstein," Plaskett's spokesperson, Angeline Jabbar, said in a statement to CNN. ... The texts, first reported by the Washington Post, were released Wednesday as part of roughly 20,000 pages of documents made public by the House Oversight Committee. The released text messages redact the name of the person Epstein was texting with on February 27, 2019 -- the day former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen testified to the House Oversight Committee about the president's conflicts of interests, business practices and payments to Trump's alleged mistresses to silence their stories before the 2016 elections. The Washington Post analyzed the text messages and compared them to footage of the hearing to report Plaskett was texting Epstein. At the time, Epstein had already been convicted of two state prostitution charges, which he served 13 months for. A few months after the text exchange took place, he would be charged with sex trafficking minors. Epstein had ties to the US territory because he maintained a home on Little St. James in the Virgin Islands, which he acquired in 1998, and purchased nearby Great St. James in 2016, according to a lawsuit filed in 2020. According to the Post, Epstein seemed to have been watching the hearing and his texts to Plaskett appeared to influence what the delegate asked Cohen. In one exchange, Epstein texted Plaskett: "Cohen brought up RONA - keeper of the secrets," referring to -- and misspelling the first name of -- Rhona Graff, a longtime Trump assistant. Plaskett responded: "RONA??" She added at 2:25 p.m, "Quick I'm up next is that an acronym," suggesting that she would be questioning Cohen soon. Epstein responded: "Thats his assistant." At 2:28 p.m., Plaskett began questioning Cohen and asked about Graff, along with other Trump associates he had mentioned, according to the Post. In another text, Epstein told Plaskett "Good work" at 2:34 p.m. -- a minute after Plaskett wrapped up her questioning, the Post reported.Good dog. You can see Stacey Plaskett reading Epstein's texts and then asking the questions he prompts her to ask below. The texts are time dated, so we know exactly when they came in, and can sync them up perfectly to Plaskett's eyes going down to read them, and then asking the question the pedophile financier ordered her to ask.
BREAKING - Newly uncovered video reveals the moment House Oversight Democrat Stacey Plaskett was being coached by Epstein via text, being told what to ask, in the middle of a 2019 hearing. pic.twitter.com/j1e84oX96W
— Right Angle News Network (@Rightanglenews) November 15, 2025
In June 2023, Plaskett made headlines when she tripped over her tongue on MSNBC, saying Trump "needs to be shot" over his alleged mishandling of classified documents before quickly correcting herself to say that he should be "stopped."Below: Plaskett's history of working for Jeffrey Epstein's tax/political fixer.
I know this is kind of old news now but maybe it's new to some people. It came out over the weekend. For minimum impact, I imagine. How is everyone? Are you all day-seizing?

He predicted before reading it that Epstein was probably a fixer for the "Tinto Mining company" which is in Britain's interest, before he found it in the text of the released Epstein files. "I fuckin' KNEW it!" were his exact words.
His words were not what everybody on this side wants to hear, that is all about endless pedophile rings, but that Epstein has been useful in various USAID operations and really a freelance "fixer" and "juicer".
Benz reasons that Epstein probably got known for "running girls" by "juicing" deals with Muslim nations, w here the "age of consent (or I'd say "use")" is much lower.

Mark Andrew Edwards
========
After reading about all that is available so far from actual court depositions (the earlier Palm Beach state case), court filings, etc. plus the stories that have slowly dribbled out, I have changed my conclusions somewhat over time.
I think a) the most likely foreign intel agency running Epstein might be MI-6. One reason is Ghislaine Maxwell and her father's ties to MI-6--Robert was actually used by MI-6 to befriend Brezhnev to the dismay of the KGB and served as an agent of influence until Brezhnev died by them.
Second is the Prince Andrew angle, the Security Services give the highest priority to protecting the Royals and for them to allow Andrew and Sarah to get involved with Epstein probably means that MI-5 and 6 considered the risk minimal if Epstein was already an asset.
Third, far from the original stories minimalizing his market savvy about Epstein, it turns out he was actually a fairly aggressive hedge fund manager of several investments for wealthy and powerful. He might have been facilitating money laundering for intel more than sex blackmail of bigs.

That is my conclusion as well. For the most part, wealthy dudes actually freely give information to home country intel and law enforcement as part of the cost of doing business--they don't have to be blackmailed to do it.
And all of those billionaires have security teams to protect them from blackmail, etc. Far easier to just go to somewhere like Thailand, etc. for sex tourism with underage types.
It could be some sort of mutual kompromat situation but that would require some reason why do it when it would not be necessary. What intel often does though is create wall after wall of ambiguity--so a meeting about moving funds around might be hidden by the pretext of a sex vacay and so on.

Republicans are just pointing at Democrats, demanding everyone cancel them for ever having spoken to Epstein, while they *still* refuse to condemn Trump for hiding actual wrongdoing with him. I’m not falling for that nonsense. Release the files
This is Trump and Bondi trying to muddy the waters. They said they were going to do this; don’t fall for these ploys. I really don’t give a fuck that he was giving her questions to ask Cohen when she was trying to expose Trump’s crimes. I mean, really what are we doing here?
Exactly! Unfortunately, history has shown we should expect the media to amplify Trump's lies instead of revealing them, and hold Democrats to a higher standard than Trump ever is. He will once again get away without consequence with his evil.
I think it’s weird but not surprising. It comes across to me as very shrewd tho. It also clarifies that Epstein knew all Trumps dirty secrets.
Yea totally. Trump and Bondi time travelled back to 2019 and forced Plaskett to text message Epstein during a congressional hearing regarding Michael Cohen, Trumps laywer. Do you people even hear how ridiculous you sound?

Well, one of the new stories causing Charles and William to kick Andy out was the story where Andy was requiring embassy staff to procure 40 whores on a business trip promoting UK business in Thailand. If you watch an excellent Britcom, The Ambassadors, done over ten years ago, they had a Prince Andrew like cretin coming to visit and similar services were requested for the prince.
David Mitchell of Peep Show stars and the show is set in one of the Stans in former USSR.

The trailer interested me, but its 2½ hours long and apparently is not very well written and takes way too long. Supposedly its closer to the original short story, other than the ending, but that doesn't necessarily mean better. I didn't really like the first one but it was pretty clever in how it was constructed and Richard Dawkins was great.

I wondered if Reddit has a channel that picks up what is said on Ace of Spades for the amusement of their readers. Then I remembered that it is Reddit, and even to bring up what the 'right-wing' is saying, even though in an attempt at mockery, is probably seen as too dangerous and upsetting to the carefully cultivated narrative building that the left-wing does.

Not likely. The basic rule of intel is never put anything in writing unless it covers your ass, not puts you in it as a fall guy. So what you would see is various situation reports to cya but everything would be vague and more in terms of what information/finances were traded rather than names of people. Take a look at the JFK files released or the RFK assassination files to get a sample--no smoking guns, only correlations, linkages, etc.
That is why intel agencies are omnivores of anything info that can get their hands on but also why they often miss forests for the trees because the analysis lags the ability to collect information. Codebreaking and sigint has a similar issue.

I'm tired of over-long movies that are long because they are long. It's rare that I see any movie made in the last 10 years that couldn't lose at least 10 minutes.
Speaking of, I finally saw Her last week. Easily 20 minutes too long. Watching a bland, mentally-ill idiot, who inexplicably looks like a 70s porn star, talking into his phone for over two hours isn't my idea of a good time.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 17, 2025 12:53 PM (dfIr7)
Trump, as he's known for selling enough simple models himself, probably suspected that it was the simpler case that Epstein was a pedo-pimp and the friction was pedos who didn't want exposure, which is why he promoted the statement that he would later have to inexplicably walk back about wholesale releasing the "files".

In regard to this and other stuff like it:
The messages, part of a November release of a large batch of emails and documents by the House Oversight Committee, show Epstein closely following former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s February 2019 appearance before the congressional body.
I realize that I'm not a "normie" politically speaking so I'm pretty sure my internal reaction is not the same as that of the big squishy political middle of the population. So my question is: how does this kind of stuff register for them, if it does at all?

Toward teh end of my career, I was using Dragon Dictate Voice on Windows 8.1 (Microsux bought Dragon and eviscerated it promptly) for any serious writing. In a way, it actually helped me because I was thinking with my words and seeing them on the page rather than typing/revising/punctuating etc with deteriorating typing skills.
Now with AI models, I may start doing that again but I still have a trained Dragon Dictate on Windows 8.1 (Thirteen was the best compared with Version 15 and the later Microsux versions) plus I already had trained it on my professional vocab. So I dual boot that machine with Linux.
Hope to finish a book on a state's Bill of Rights and court decisions affecting those that I have been working on for about ten years off and on.

Yep I do saline nasal irrigation, had sinus surgery to remove blockages, take Vitamin D, etc. But wife is around disease magnets (students), she gets something minor and I get bronchitis or pneumonia.
For whatever reason though, I rarely get the flu, but do get common colds that blow up into chest infections now and again. Have had pneumonia several times may be why in part plus Covid three straight years. And I am OCD about washing hands since COVID days.

Just to recap, Stacey Plaskett took $30,000 from Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted, was still having inappropriate conversations with him all the way in 2019 where Epstein was texting her real-time suggestions on what to ask next and telling her how to “hurt him” and where to “press harder.”
Then when his victims tried to depose her during civil litigation , she tried to have them sanctioned, while blocking all discovery.
How is this not the number one story in America right now?

Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks’ online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology.
A week later, Wray’s deputy Paul Abbate told Congress that comments posted on one of Crooks’ social media accounts “appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature.”
The official narrative claimed he acted alone and without a clear motive, ideology or digital footprint.
Yet the source found reams of information that shows Crooks “was not simply some unknowable lone actor … He left a digital trail of violent threats, extremist ideology and admiration for mass violence. He spoke openly of political assassination, posted under his real name and was even flagged by other users who mentioned law enforcement in their replies. Despite this, his account remained active for more than five years — and was only removed the day after the shooting.

1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours (in 365 days) of watching to monetize.
14% of the way on the first and about 2.5% of the way on the other. I expect the latter to accelerate faster than the former, so I'm less worried about the hours. I'm mostly worried about the subscribers.
Assuming 10% growth in the sub base, I should have enough in about 22 weeks, but that's a big assumption.

"Wrong" target.
The emphasis is not: what did post-indictment Epstein do? But: does it implicate Trump?
And: how can this be slanted to argue that it implicates Trump?
Those are the two main germane questions. Everything else is ancillary and evokes the "complexity" of the Epstein operations.

Like alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, Crooks appears to have been interested in “furries” and exploring gender identity.
He described himself with the pronouns “they/them” on the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for “furry” art and the “furry” community. (A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often as a sexual fetish.)
Two accounts linked to Crooks’ primary email were found on DeviantArt, under usernames “epicmicrowave” and “theepicmicrowave.” The account suggests he had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.

Modern tools have immediate syntax checking, so it's like misspelling a word. It really cuts down on the sheer number of mistakes that you would have normally had to fix, before. You can at least, reliably get to the "it compiled" stage. But it just means more things compile first time.

The first time he criticized Trump was on Jan. 23, 2020, when he commented on a video of law professor Jonathan Turley talking about Trump’s first impeachment.
“Keep in mind the only reason we may know about any of this is because of Trump’s stupidity,” Crooks wrote.
He started describing Trump supporters as a cult: “How can you people call others sheep, but you are do [too] brainwashed to realize how dumb you are,” he wrote on Feb. 26, 2020. “I mean literally you guys sound like a cult at times.”

I guess you like your commenters as dyspeptic and grumpy curmudgeons.
Been watching your videos and enjoyed them. Might try cutting YT shorts from each one to drive more traffic as well and that lets you also cross post those shorts on Tik Tok. Seems to be driving a lot of traffic for influencers to get noticed for their longer pieces. And consider a separate channel for your Young History books as with the 250th Anniversary coming up, it might drive those numbers up as well. Something like brief bedtime stories of your heroes in those books (character vignettes) with the link below to buy them.
I advised MP4 to do the same to promote his books--plenty of salacious silent era stuff.

The only programming I've done since 2000 or so is Stata and database SQL, Access, etc. to do certain functions and datahandling from large datasets. I was starting to get into R circa 2012-13 but deteriorating health ended that as what I taught and what I researched converged (more law, much less politics) rather than my older empirical publications which relied on large datasets such as campaign contributions, voting, etc.

A lot depends on your video editing software. It is usually easy to just cut the short separate with the long after setting up. I did a fair amount of video editing teaching online and editing always took the most time. So a quick and dirty answer, even with a phone for about 60-120 seconds might be the answer with the proper lighting, backdrop, etc. that you use for the longer ones.
Shorts also lets you do hot takes on current movie events such as box office, etc.
Think of the shorts as Ace comments except on Video and the kidz nowadays like snarky humor in the shorts as a leader.

It's not that, it's how YouTube accepts shorts. As far as I could tell, there's no direct upload of a file in the shorts system. It must be somewhere because I see shorts that are just clips from longer videos, but the only options I can find are live recording things. Maybe they live record on a device...

Pres. Trump:
“And I’ve had personal talks with some Democrats. I can’t tell you who they are; I just don’t want to do that. It’s not fair to them — about paying large amounts of dollars back to the people. This was my idea. It came up during that. Oftentimes, under times of stress, like the shutdown, you come up with great ideas that you wouldn’t have thought of before.
The insurance companies are making a fortune. Their stock is over a thousand percent over a short period of time. They are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, and they’re not really putting it back — certainly not like they should.
So when I see this, and when I’ve seen this over the last pretty short period of time, I said, ‘Why don’t we just pay this money directly to the people of our country and let them buy their own health insurance?’ And I made that statement — and I made it a little bit cavalierly — but it sounded good. Everybody has picked up, including Democrats.
I am talking to some Democrats right now about doing that. People love it. We’re going to take the money — well, if it gets approved — we’re going to take the money, we’re going to pay it back to the peo

Be the subject expert that codes rather than the all purpose coder. In my case, I knew accounting and thus way back when, you had to actually program to get things like spreadsheets, etc. to do much via macros, etc.
So, if you know machining works, then go into CAD-CAM and 3d Printing to extend your knowledge base.
Know accounting, get up on databases, spreadsheet macros, and accounting software. Inventory management, for example, is a key skill that is rarely mentioned but absolutely key to many retail and manufacturing places.
HR, learn peoplesoft, etc.
Systems analysis has its own software to monitor process development, and so on.
Cybersecurity, be a guy that can audit systems and do the coding necessary to poke holes in systems to fix.
Basic 'software engineer' shit is going to be a commodity and increasing affected by AI intrusion. But AI is not and is likely not to be subject experts that can do coding in the near future.

"Desperation" as Stephen King
and
"The Regulators" as Richard Bachman
I liked the idea, particularly as a marketing ploy. And kind of a scam to get folks to buy the same book again.
They weren't exactly the same, but very similar as you might imagine. Bachman's book was meaner as was his reputation than King's book.
I wasn't real impressed with either but IIRC I liked Bachman's book a little better.
Anywho, they're relatively cheap now -Conduct your own experiment.

I actually refrained from watching the movie because I had seen a few clips of the bad guy in action, and his character was so profoundly evil - a mix of sadism and pseudo-philosophical garbage - that I figured that it would simply make me angry without providing any kind of catharsis. When I read some time later that the bad guy actually got away with the money- and when I saw a clip of Tommy Lee Jones talking about his dream of his dead father - it struck me that the movie was just a pile of nihilistic crap.

THE MORNING RANT: Beware the Concern Trolls Advising Trump to Abandon His Agenda Because of the Economy
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
We’re hearing that phrase a lot recently, especially after Democrats just won elections in three deep blue states that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. Illogically, three blue states continuing to vote blue is being used as an excuse by “concerned” pundits to call for President Trump to surrender the MAGA agenda and return to the destructive policies of the Biden-era. Despite the drumbeat of “It’s the economy, stupid,” it’s not just the economy that matters. “It’s” also the mess from Biden’s open border, and it’s the woke propaganda mills that don’t teach our children, and it’s the chemical warfare that is being inflicted on our shores via imported fentanyl, and it’s the threat of jihadi violence, and it’s the invasion of women’s spaces by cross-dressing men, etc. Not only can President Trump fight all those battles simultaneously, he must fight all those battles. That’s what we elected him to do. But there is suddenly a chorus of people demanding that Trump pivot to the economy and only the economy. Coincidentally, this chorus is heavily represented by the permanent Never-Trump pundit class from whom any political prescription should be considered a poison pill. Those demanding that Trump abandon all his successful endeavors to focus on the economy are setting him up for failure. Deliberately. There is also incredible dishonesty in the efforts of false-flag conservatives to blame high-prices on President Trump. Overall prices haven’t deflated from the Biden-era inflation crisis, and these subversive “conservatives” are now trying to blame Trump for prices elevated by Biden economic policies. They worshipfully remember Ronald Reagan stopping Carter-era inflation, but they know darn well that prices didn’t deflate once Reagan’s policies took hold. It’s no different now. Or they’ll get cute and claim that cutting inflation from 9.0% to 3.1% isn’t fast enough improvement, because inflation really needs to be 2.9%. They don’t actually care about prices or inflation, they care about damaging Trump’s ability to govern. Above all else, these concern trolls want the outsourcing of jobs to resume, and they desperately want the tariffs benefiting American labor to be removed. These people despise the thought of an American-citizen doing a job that could otherwise be outsourced to unregulated, inexpensive foreign labor. For those jobs that can’t be offshored, they are also despondent that Trump has dried up the pipeline of off-the-books, illegal labor by gaining control of the border. Here is but a small sample from last week of Never Trumpers offering some America-last economic advice to Mr. Trump: “Gaslighting Americans on inflation is a bad idea” [Washington Examiner – David Harsanyi – 11/13/2025]Hitting consumers with billions in sales tax increases in the guise of tariffs over the last year isn't a much better strategy for Trump. Most economists predicted that tariffs would contribute to price hikes, and yet Trump's love of protectionism trumped pragmatism.“Trump Dismisses Economic Anxiety at His Own Peril” [National Review - Charles C.W. Cooke – 11/12/2025]
Irrespective of one’s view of the merits of tariffs per se, it ought to have been thoroughly obvious to President Trump that the imposition of a slew of draconian import taxes would make his goal of lower costs that much harder.While Never Trumpers are going to Never Trump, what most concerns me is that I am seeing some good, solid, MAGA conservatives taking the bait and offering up their own “It’s the economy, stupid” columns / social media posts. It’s a trap. Can you imagine the MAGA backlash if Trump announced that he was opening up the border again to lower prices via cheap, illegal labor. Or what if Trump announced that foreign fentanyl boats are welcome to resume trafficking fentanyl to our shores without fear of military attack, because the Trump administration is focusing exclusively on the economy. Those actions are actually what the Never Trump concern trolls are trying to bring about via a groundswell of “It’s the economy, stupid” advocacy from actual conservatives. The economy matters, and so do all the other issues that resulted in Donald Trump’s election. Just as it took a few years for Ronald Reagan to undo the stagflation of the Nixon-Carter years, it will take President Trump a few years to undo the damage of the America-last economic agenda of the Bush-Obama-Biden years. Not fixing all that damage in just a few months won’t hurt President Trump near as much as if he backtracks on his signature accomplishments and does nothing but react to day-to-day economic headlines.
I’ve noticed that the globalist, legacy-conservative adversaries of Trump who have opposed Trump’s America-first agenda are now squawking in unison, “It’s the economy, stupid” in a false flag attempt to get him to reopen the border, stop tariffs, and outsource American jobs.

Inflation through immigration was the economic mantra of the Biden administration, and it worked.
Now, with actual net out migration, we're going to see actual deflationary effects. Already seeing it in rents (down 15% in major markets since 2022 as of this September), and it will spread out.
This is while we've seen wage growth outpace inflation.
The price spikes on specific items like beef are really limited to pocket cases with specific issues (beef stock is real down in America right now).
Also, the appearance of the word "affordability" right now when no one used the word for 4 damn years tells you how much of a narrative it all is.

It's my understanding that Ford's contracts with mechanics...suck.
Mechanics have to bring their own tools, and they're mostly doing warranty work for which they get paid about 15-20% of the price. They do this for years, hoping to rise in the organizational structure to become the next level of mechanic and do more involved, expensive work.

It is the issue they hope most becomes the issue because it benefits the left the most.
Certain conservatives have an annoying habit of becoming obsessed with their hobbyhorse and howl endlessly when it is not The Priority.
It's exhausting, "we must abandon this thing--that we're winning on--because I think we must focus on this other thing (that we're not winning fast enough on)."
We're fifty to 150 years deep in the left "remaking" America to cement their power. There is no "one, single issue" that will turn that back--it's hundreds and thousands.

Mechanics have to bring their own tools, and they're mostly doing warranty work for which they get paid about 15-20% of the price. They do this for years, hoping to rise in the organizational structure to become the next level of mechanic and do more involved, expensive work.

ok maybe but honestly I do see him - shockingly, it's a rare thing - changing his views after new information gets through to him. I know I'm sounding a big "if only Comrade Stalin knew!" here lol
but the visa thing - he just doesn't get it. he has asshat CEOs (sorry, personal experience lol) in his ear and he's trying to grow the private sector as a counterbalance to the public sector, which has massively grown. so I get it.
but he has to assume everyone is lying to him. Play Dr House. be more cautious and try to talk to some normal people in the middle class, like me, a mom with three young adults who worked VERY hard for their STEM degrees and are very very smart and capable.

"The Fed should re-examine it's great mistakes that led to inflation. It should abandon the digma that inflation is caused when the economy grows too much and workers get paid too much. Inflation is caused when government spends too much and prints too much."
Trump knows the problem is the Fed and the budget "process". He's trying to reform these things.

----------------
Stage One thinking.
Why didn't prices and inflation rise during Trump's first term of tariffs -- nor even more so this time around?
Because the result of the tariffs is that dollar is strengthened relative to foreign currencies (primarily through reduced demand for foreign goods and, consequently, reduced demand for foreign currencies) -- which is a brake on inflation.
A stronger US Dollar typically results in lower inflation and -- in some cases -- deflation, because a stronger Dollar reduces the cost of imported goods and services, which helps to curb price increases throughout the domestic economy.

It's also important to note that tariffs are on wholesale import prices, not retail prices. This lack of clarity creates intentional confusion and implication that 100% increase in tariffs on a good will lead to 100% increase in consumer retail price on the good.
And that's not even taking into account importer behavior of absorbing the tariff costs in order to keep up with competition from non-tariffed competitors.

I think those races in places like NJ and VA were largely out of reach anyway, but I think the reason the margins were larger than we hoped is our team just didn't show up like it should have. The commentary I read is Republican participation was was way down vs 2024 versus Dems that held steadier.
Trump's victories have made too many people think the war is over and we won.
I think it had little to do with Trump not focusing "enough" on the economy.

Probably not.
Worst case scenario is probably, "Lower courts, you did this all wrong. You have to consider every tariff's merits individually. Go do that."
All while signalling to Trump that he can just change the reasoning of the tariffs to other legal authorities that keep them in place.

I am surprised at the difference depending on grocery store. Publix has gotten crazy with their beef prices. Rouses (LA and here) are much better even for prime, and they have what they refer to as dollar saver steaks. I haven’t a clue how edible those are, but certainly economical. Even Fresh Market, which has decent quality meat, is less than Publix. Our butcher’s meat isn’t amazingly better than Rouses prime or Fresh Market.

It's actually also the whole emergency thing and Congress giving away its tariff power with 51 votes and being unable to get it back without 67 votes. We probably don't want to set a precedent that that's okay.

He sat in an interview and proclaimed we need to bring in hordes of H1B Indians because Americans are untalented.
No one cares whether they are legal or not. We have, collectively, convinced generations of Americans to "invest in their education" with promises like "a college graduate makes a million more dollars over their lifetime".
So they dutifully did as their parents, pastors, teachers, friends, columnists, and every other trusted source instructed and went to college, racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, betting on that "million more dollars" they were promised. An education that was lackluster, and artificially inflated in its value by the admission of foreign students that enabled colleges and universities to extract a heavy toll.
Now they are being furloughed in mass numbers jn favor of foreign contract labor.
Younger voters rightly feel as though the promises they were sold were outright lies, and now they struggle to obtain a steady job and a house to raise a family in.

The price of something can fluctuate due to supply and demand, or even decline. The usual suspects want to divert attention from the government habit of destroying their savings and conflate everything into one imponderable, as if it were a natural phenomenon that falls like rain from the sky, and nobody knows why.
Ordinarily in the normal course of things prices generally go down over time. Not up. Even the much vaunted FED dual mandate twaddle of “targeted” monetary inflation at 2% in reality means your savings or investment value is cut in half after 20 years, or near enough. Then you have the privilege of owing taxes on the nominal “gains”, because the numbers are bigger.

don’t forget the PPP checks for companies connected to members of Congress and Trump’s buddies, no investigations, all forgiven.
My monthly healthcare payment is currently $800/month and as of January 2026 it’s going up to $3,200/month. A one time $2,000 payment isn’t going to help jack shit.
I see the US Empire is at the "bread and circuses" stage of trying to appease the masses. And only working families? What about the people who can't afford to work and could use that money?
Tariff checks will never happen, they're rhetorical bait. There's evidence that much of the extra tariffs were never collected. Trump probably thinks tariff revenue goes directly into the president's pockets. Trump isn't giving away money he got for free, even if it did exist.

I disagree in that housing WAS affordable for most of my adult life once you got outside the usual culprits that were known to be ultra expensive. Now it's not.
Average age of a first time home buyer is now 40? That's absurd. and rentals are also at nosebleed levels (despite coming downs somewhat)

In a working paper published on Thursday, San Francisco Fed researchers Régis Barnichon and Aayush Singh said higher tariffs lead to reduced economic activity, higher unemployment and lower inflation in the short term.
“The inflation response goes against the predictions of standard models, whereby CPI inflation should go up in response to higher tariffs,” they wrote. “Instead, tariff shocks appear to act as aggregate demand shocks—moving inflation and unemployment in the same directions.”
Before World War II, they found that a permanent 4-percentage-point increase in the tariff rate reduced inflation by 2 percentage points and raised unemployment by about 1 percentage point.
So if you can weather these numbers, Tariffs do slow Inflation.

Democrats will go scorched-earth because they believe, with good reason, that the Republicans won't undo it. Republicans, at least non-'tarded ones, know they can pass it but believe that the Democrats will get rid of the filibuster and nuke it all given half a chance. That's why Republicans can't hold onto gains for very long.
But I find myself wondering, what would it look like if both parties were willing to run scorched earth every time, with no attempts at collegiality? Would it just be non-stop escalation, or would it cause some modicum of sanity via MAD?

All while signaling to Trump that he can just change the reasoning of the tariffs to other legal authorities that keep them in place.

Remember when they decided Obamacare because it was a tax?
An argument not made below?
Because they have this rule that "if we want to, we'll make up a basis for justifying the ruling."
(I mean, not really, but sorta really.)
And Trump has already said there are other statutes which support his actions. IIRC, to SCOTUS, as well.
Expect lots of howling from the left as the rule that saved their precious O-care is turned against them.

I totally support removing illegals (and do think it helps ease house pricing pressure) but it's not the entire problem.
At least part of the problem is Wall Street (BlackRock) getting into the single family housing rental business, that wasn't the case years ago. And then you have a tax code that really fuels Airbnb and VRBO short term rentals.
There needs to be less investment dollars chasing housing rentals.
We're creating a serf class of people and they vote accordingly when they feel they have no stake in capitalism.
Less housing rentals would be a good thing imo.

It depends what region you live in. And some how the expectation for mortgage interest rate became 3 to 4% . It has historically been 6% or above . Way above.
And the expectation today of a ‘starter’ house is absurd.

Some will. Some have. Groceries are down. Gas is down. Rent has fallen more in the last 10 months than it did in the preceding 15 years.
This is exactly what I mean. People know stuff that isn't true because the media they hate tells them to believe it.
Posted by: JackStraw
Agree with gas. Thats strictly supply / demand. Excl'g geopolitical event.
Are you saying rent is cheaper than 15 years ago? I know you're not Jack. Thus, prices haven't fallen in that 15 year sense.
We agree (I think) starting from a higher base due to inflation prices can come down but will remain high. Rent, yes. Home appreciation, not so much due to demand or those who have a great rate and dont want to move. We and several friends are in this boat.

People in general have short attention spans. They aren't judging Trump (and Republicans) against Biden's economy 2-3 years ago, purely just how well things are now. It feels pretty mediocre for many people.
The Dem terrorist strategy of causing maximum chaos when Trump is in charge, and then offering a "return to normalcy" if they win the next election is very appealing to normies.

There are no starter houses anymore. There are no starter jobs anymore. Every house is either a slum hole owned by a slumlord "Property Management Company", or a $100k house you can buy for $700k. Every job is either a full career position that you can support a family of seven on, or a Job Americans Won't Do.
You can either inherit or DINK-WAD your way into a comfy upper middle class situation, or go on the dole. Those are your options.

Yeah prices come down. Grocery prices fluctuate a lot, electronics generally go down except for apple products, etc. Its a general rule that inflation only goes one direction but its not universal and most of the stuff that people care about the most can go down like energy and food.

And the Boomers say “Quit drinking Starbucks”. Yeah, there is no comparison. Life has always been a royal bitch, but the dollar used to be good as gold, and the kept the border sealed tight, and there were unskilled labor jobs that would pay a living wage if people lived frugally. Meat packing jobs, foundry work, hell even the Milkman could buy a (small) house and a car and raise a family.

The "Affordable Housing" lie is behind Bass and Newsom's foot-dragging in the fire-destroyed parts of SoCal. It's also basically about evicting affluent folks in the beach houses and replacing them with pot-smoking hippies and surf thugs.
CA did the same thing with La Conchita about 20 years ago, which is a tiny little beach community between Santa Barbara and Ventura, located at the base of some obviously dangerous hillsides. When they had a deadly mudslide in 2005 killing 10-11 people, one of the criticisms was that the state should have eminent domained everyone out of such a dangerous location. The response was "but La Conchita is the only place where ordinary low-income people can afford to live on the beach".

Where I live, even when you factor in inflation, what my people like my parents paid for their house in today's dollars is like a 70%+ discount to what people pay today. It's just not the same anymore. In "todays" dollars, a really nice house in the same area was like $300k. Now it's like $1.2 million.
I just don't buy this boomer narrative that it's just lazy 30-somethings complaining and they spend all their money at Starbucks.
I'm lucky in that I'm basically set in my forever home, but my heart does break for people that are probably going to be forever renters.
I see a whole class of forever renters and paying student loans until they retire. And the reality is their misery is probably going to vote Democrat for life.

No, of course not. But it's definitely a big part of the problem.
When government floods the country with billions of fiat dollars everything goes up. And it
it's going to take some time to reach equilibrium. We've been living in a period of sugar high for a number of years and it's not going to get fixed overnight with a silver bullet piece of legislation.
It's really disappointing to see how many people are freaking out over where we are right now when we are less than a year into trying to save this country from a multi decade long trajectory into oblivion. Our schools suck. Our government institutions have been captured for decades. Globalists are still pouring billions into trying to turn this country into an open borders shit hole like the EU. We are just begining to fight back an already the doom and gloom brigade is in full throat.

2. People change buying habits less demand
3. New tech replaces old tech Both more product(S) and same demands spread out.

Settled law since JW Hampton Meatpacking case in the 1920's. Most people know little if anything about American tariff law from the Founding to the 1920's but the power was delegated to the president starting about 1900's because Congress simply could not function dealing with a hundred countries tariff schedules and tariffs are as much foreign policy as they are domestic.
And fwiw, the ones challenging the tariffs might not even have standing which may be how Scotus avoids the whole mess along with mootness. Trump created facts on the ground such as teh massive revenues collected already that would have to be refunded plus multiple different trade agreements that have already been reached with most of the other nations. That would make much of the challenges moot as the emergency tariffs give way to presidential agreements (akin to treaties in Scotus jurisprudence.).

Totally disagree.
If you just look at numbers, the price of housing as a percent of someone's income has gone way up. This obviously has an effect on whether someone can afford a home or not. It's not just an emotional choice.
People also probably say they like being renters because the alternative is completely unaffordable for what you get. A shit home for like $500k. Renting starts looking appealing.
I don't know how that serves American interest to have a huge underclass of renters so a handful of Wall Street firms can make some more money.

"It's just blue states" is too broad a characterization, however there is a lot of game to play before November 2026 and a lot of stuff that can happen (unless you believe Trump forced Crooks to shoot him), no reason to give the game away because the other team scored.
Sure, the progs want to crow about their inevitable resurgence, because that's their overall historical narrative as well. And they are going to try to inflate any small win as the "sign of the times". Why wouldn't they?
It's only us on this side that have to ground our politics on the nod to reality, and not just paper narrative over with narrative and "messaging".

Good point. Now, you go to a new subdivision, and what do you find? Row upon row of identical McMansions on postage-stamp lots. The builders build them because they can sell them. You want a 2-bedroom, one bath house, you're going to have buy an old one. And if you own the land, and can afford to build, you're not going to build a 2-br, one bath house, because you may never be able to sell it.

Yes he is. He just led the first government shut down win Republicans have had in decades. Maybe ever. Chuck walked away wearing his bony ass as a hat and will likely retire.
He's got Democrats whining about the Epstein files and it's already blowing up in their faces. Regardless of what the media says, prices are going down. You don't need a talking head to tell you the price at the pumps is down. They don't even bother talking about eggs anymore.
There is an obvious concerted effort to make everyone our side pessimistic. Maybe we should stop playing their game for a change.

All congressmutants and senators can vote on a bill as many times as they care to. But each recorded vote costs $1 million. They can raise all the money they like from wherever they like, domestic, foreign, corporate, private, don't matter.
But every single dollar has to be recorded as to where/whom it's from, and that has to be made public. And every dollar raised goes into funding all the dumb "free" shit they all give out to buy their votes with. All income, sales, property, etc etc taxes are done away with, forever.
Take crony capitalism to its absurd endpoint so that it wraps around and eats itself.

Just saw some cogent analysis that deportation *is* about the economy. It's part of Trump's economic plan.
To decrease the competition for resources and assets. Bessant himself is making the argument that importing 30 million people is inflationary it and of itself. Especially when you have the government "borrowing" or printing money to pay them super-welfare.

Isn't going to happen. Congress HAS to delegate to the executive to exercise its powers because due to separation of powers, it cannot exercise those powers other than legislative itself. Very few states have strict non delegation doctrines because in today's world--legislatures are too slow and the consequences of policy decisions are much faster than legislative bodies can operate.
That is why every dire emergency results in Congress granting more and more power via statute to the Executive (which is also why the US has never declared war since WWII). Too many statutes over the years would be triggered giving a president almost absolute authority over the economy and civil liberties in such a case and Scotus, like in WWII, will do nothing to prevent that.

Where are you getting this from?
You raelly if you surveyed young americans "would you like housing to become more affordable so you have the option own your own home?" and you think most Americans under 40 would say "no" to that question and say they just want to rent forever?
Affordable housing prices have a direct link to rental rates also. If a house is twice as valuable, the rental rate will usually reflect that.
Posted by: Leupold at November 17, 2025 12:17 PM (eIzlH)
I don't know how that serves American interest to have a huge underclass of renters so a handful of Wall Street firms can make some more money.
It seems a lot of people just want the status quo.

I am not sure where you are located but for $500K you can buy a very nice 1800-2000 SF single story custom built house on a 1 acre lot for that kind of money here in NE Texas and have some cash left over to fill it with furniture.

Mega-thanks for that, Whig!
And that does make sense, because Congress can always rein his tariff power in.
Let's say that the IRS found a new X-factor in sniffing out the biggest tax cheats, and the president gave an executive order to audit all those fitting that profile, and it resulted in heaps more revenue for the federal government. As long as he wasn't subverting tax laws, the increase in revenue would not be "usurping Congressional power of revenue".
The main issue with Iran-Contra (IMO) is that the president also allocated funds from the extra-legal revenue, which is questionable in light of Congress' budgeting power.

Hans von Aachen
Christie's -
Provenance
Painted for the Imperial collection of Rudolf II, Prague, where possibly recorded in an inventory of 1621 as Pan and Selene.
Sold to the art dealer Daniel de Briers in 1623 and recorded in an inventory dated 30 March 1623, no. 34, 'Buhlschaft Venus mit zwei satyri'.
London art market, circa 1984, where acquired by the present owner.
Lot Essay
In part, "Variously described in the past as Venus and a Satyr and Jupiter and Antiope, Fucíková was first to identify the subject as Pan and Selene, taken from Virgil's account of how the moon goddess Selene was seduced by the shepherd Endymion in the guise of Pan. The choice of subject reflects Rudolf II's taste for erotic mythological paintings and also reveals how von Aachen was influenced by the Italian paintings in his patron's collection: most obviously Correggio's Jupiter and Io and Titian's Danae.
--
While an excellent artist, I'd pass in as far as hanging this painting. (Porn fantasy for Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1576 to 1612, Prague.)

Pausanias men were giants but the women were quite small. And when the women got old they got even smaller. They were known as minipausians.

First lady is doing OK from the surgery pain wise, however it appears her compromised immune system from chemo still has her susceptible to viruses as we believe she's got ecoil again. She's been spiking fever all weekend. We'll be calling the doctor today to see if we can just get an antibiotic or whatever instead of having to go to the damn ER and her getting poked and prodded to find what we already know..........

I stopped going to Goody Goody years ago because they kept selling my kegs, which I reserved in advance, out from under me.
There was a local place, owned locally, that I frequented, but he sold to an Indian (dot) and they moved, but there is a brand new Spec's near by.
When we move, however, that gets more difficult. The local place is Indian (or Paki) owned and the other is Asian......and they're both expensive as hell.

The Morning Report — 11/17/25
Although socialism has long claimed to be for the poor, it has probably done more damage, on net balance, to the poor than to the rich. After all, the rich have enough money to leave the country if they think the socialists are going to do them any serious harm. . . The rich have learned to adapt socialist policies to their own benefit. For example, the city of Riviera Beach, Florida, is planning to demolish a working class neighborhood under its power of eminent domain, in order to prepare the way for a marina for yachts, luxury condominiums and an upscale shopping district. What will the city of Riviera Beach get out of all this? More taxes from higher-income people, enabling local politicians to spend more money on programs to attract votes. Meanwhile, the rich get rid of lower-income folks without having to pay them the value of their homes and businesses that will be demolished. As in so many other cases, eminent domain is socialism for the rich. Theoretically, those whose homes and businesses are demolished will get the "just compensation" to which the Constitution says they are entitled. In reality, just announcing plans to demolish the homes in an area will immediately demolish part of their market value. Even if homeowners are compensated for whatever value remains when their homes are actually demolished — which can be years later — they have still been had.How different our society and world would be if the writings of individuals like Sowell, Milton Friedman, Eric Hoffer and Karl Popper were central to the curricula of the last three generations of American students. considering the nature of who has been running our schools during that time an up until the present day, it's no wonder that despite the death, destruction, waste and misery left in the wake of socialism wherever it has and continues to exist, there is this headlong rush to embrace it and condemn free market capitalism, not only the greatest driver but indeed the ONLY driver of freedom, prosperity and societal advancement in all of human history, by the younger generations of Americans.
And so, despite Sowell's observations about socialism and the "rich" this kind of stands out like a sore thumb.
The Los Angeles area is still struggling to recover from the January blazes. Six months after the fires began, it i being reported only 68 rebuilding permits have been issued for the hard-hit area if Pacific Palisades…where over 6800 structures were destroyed.Of course there were very credible reports that both Bass and Newsom were planning on transforming the once upscale neighborhood into what would have amounted to Watts on the Pacific as one huge low income housing development.
Dissonance, or are Bass and Newsom merely placating a larger, younger, more hardcore leftist base because of national ambitions, especially by Newsom? It also brings to mind this piece which we recently highlighted a week or so ago.
Bill Gates Gets Mugged by Reality . . . Inconvenient truths about climate change and energy.Well, as CBD, Buck Throckmorton and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and on the outlets listed below)
Gates' sudden epiphany is completely mercenary. Gates knows that he cannot fuel – pun intended – his AI ambitions without massive amounts of energy. And that requires Fossil Fuels. There will never be enough wind, solar or unicorn flatus in a billion billion years to realize his AI ambitions, and he knows it. Gates is still a megalomaniac who, like Bass and Newsom, considers himself to be an Ubermenschen who has the moral right to steer and mold humanity and society as he sees fit. No doubt AI will be used by him and his ilk for that purpose. And anyone who objects will find themselves in a mass grave or in the next iteration of Birkenau's lake of ashes. Of that I have no doubt. Have a good day.

THE ECONOMY, STUPID - “I think we are going to see a substantial acceleration in the economy in the first, second quarter, and I think we are already seeing on many prices — as I said, we’re bending that curve down, and the increase in real income, I think Americans are going to feel it in the first quarter, second quarter,” Bessent said.

- A Nov. 14 executive order said updated recommendations and progress on trade talks made it “necessary and appropriate to further modify the scope” of goods subject to the duties. It also noted “certain agricultural products shall not be subject to the reciprocal tariff imposed under Executive 14257, as amended.” The shift modifies the “reciprocal tariffs” Trump first imposed as part of April’s “Liberation Day” national emergency declaration tied to trade deficits.

Should anything go wrong at the station before that launch they will have no way to get back to Earth, unless they use the damaged Shenzhou-21 capsule still docked to the station. That capsule has cracks in a window, caused by what the Chinese think was an impact from “space debris.” The Chinese have already determined it is not safe for human travel. Thus, using it in an emergency would be a desperate act. Since the first space station, Salyut-1, was launched and occupied in 1971, this is the first time that a crew has been in space with absolutely no way to get home. The press last year repeatedly claimed the Starliner crew was “stranded” on ISS, but that wasn’t so. They could have always come home on their Starliner craft, as was proven when it returned unmanned with no problems.

So on Saturday at Aikido I was working with the newer student. He's taller than me and a lot more muscled which is why I wanted to work with him.
You see, there is an exercise we do where you grab onto someone's wrist and they stay relaxed while moving the arm normally. Since the man is damn strong, I wanted him to hold on "like I owed him money." I figure working with someone like that is keeping me honest as a black belt.

A few closing down a year doesn't destroy a nation's economy...1/3 of them doing so the same year would. Trump is showing he does not want the drastic short term economic pain even if it would involve great long term US benefit. That's his Achilles' heel. He is trying to soften the fall every way he can, until it starts moving forward.
His big negative short tern economic swing was the fed firing and grant removals...he doesn't want to make more swings...

This is a form of the "Curley Effect". From the introduction of the paper:
"James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston, used wasteful redistribution to his poor Irish constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage richer
citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping the electorate in his favor"
Sounds familiar? 24 Years of Detroit's Coleman Young "Curely"'d not just Detroit, but the entire metropolis creating America's first major Third World city in the US.

I would bet 98 0ut of 100 people in JournoListism have this very same idea that Words that lead to Violence means that the Violence is both approved by the Speaker and the Attacker.

According to the contractor, where he was building, getting a permit is relatively easy. However, that same contractor also said every place burned out in a California Coastal Commission controlled area isn't getting permits because the permitting process is a nightmare.

Yay. We repay the debt. But that's spending money that the government is taking from us TODAY to pay for shit that our parents bought YEARS AGO. So, yes, you could say that we don't have to slash the debt but we absolutely should slash the debt.

That is just half the number of illegal aliens on SNAP.
The actual population is probably closer to 50 million. That counts visa overstays which up until the physical border invasion was the number one form of being in the country illegally.
If you read the 14th Amendment a certain way, at least one quarter of the country is probably here illegally.

Nah, just make interest payments on it so high that trillions are spent annually just to service bond and treasury holders.
And if you slash the debt, people might be able to afford things like homes, cars, food, children. But voting to keep the money printing machine on high speed will guarantee that the next generation can't afford anything unless it is given to them from borrowed money.

Another 10 Million Biden imports.
If only there were a way to find out how much influence they have on politics.
12+10=22 Million.
Each congressional district in the United States represents an average of about 761,169 people, based on the 2020 U.S. census.
22,000,000/761,169=28.9
So illegal tax cheats, identity thieves, welfare, and SNAP grabbers control about 7% of Congress.

Sounds familiar? 24 Years of Detroit's Coleman Young "Curely"'d not just Detroit, but the entire metropolis creating America's first major Third World city in the US.
This is where the term "White Flight" came from. Taking one of the most powerful and wealthy cities and turning it into Zimbabwe in one generation.

This is exactly right. In the Detroit area the Coleman Young effect shapes the city even now. When whites fled the city they left their homes and businesses so presumably the residents would move into the houses and businesses. It did happen, but the new residents had no clue as to upkeep. Mile after mile of shambles resulted. And now bigger demands from government. Claims abound such as "water is a human right", and whites are racist. Detroit now has a lot in common with South Afric

People like that need to be forcibly ejected from the room. They aren't mature enough to even consider policy questions.
Libertarians are also mental retards that should be permanently ignored too because they want their train set in the basement to be policy.
There is a reality that the US population can't compete and doesn't want to compete with the world. Within the US there is a segment of over-achievers (eg. Musk) that can do amazing things with relatively small teams.
We don't need amazing talent to deal with regulations and paper work (eg insurance, taxes, compliance, retail banking, etc.) but the US has the highest costs to do the most menial tasks.
So tariffs make up for high regulations, taxes, incompetence, greed and sloth.

Same thing with Venezuela, get rid of Maduro and replace him with what?
We know how this goes. Look at Ukraine. The US overthrew their government and replaced it with Zelenskyy and it now costs us hundreds of billions in new debt that future generations will bear.

The answer is "yes." David French believes unelected bureaucrats and NGOs should run the country, not the people.
His wife, in 2024, was the head of a group of "evangelicals" spending millions, who were distributing pamphlets, teaching guides, and other such to churches under the banner of "anti-abortion."
But the real purpose--the "call to action"--was to attack Trump for not being pro-life enough.
Because he refused to call for a nationwide federal ban on abortions.
And some of those "seminar" callers even popped in here.
Variations of "I can't support Trump because he's won't ban abortion. If that means Kamala wins, well, my conscious is pure."

Tech is a weird thing. Take Petrochemical Engineering. For a while, that was the highest paying engineering career to have. Until it wasn't and a lot of talent began collecting unemployment and found other careers.
The "Learn To Code" movement has resulted in saturating the software industry and now programmers count among the highest rate of unemployment.
In each of these cases, the natural market was not allowed to work but government demonized the oil industry and wanted it dead, so who is going to learn to make buggy whips? Dittos with mining, and large scale projects like dams and canals.
AI is now threatening mechanical and electrical engineering, so between H1s and AI who want to pursue an engineering degree?

The "I'd rather be a pedophile than a democrat" T-shirts are coming. They proudly wore FELON 2024. Didn't specify what felony.
Republicans stood in front of a banner at a CPAC that literally said “WE ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS”.
The full quote: “I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote: Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he’s not gonna be the president, and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don’t vote to release those files...the record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency.”
By 2030 he'll be dead.

If we don't push back on this, we'll be Canada / Europe soon. At the very least in the population centers we will be. Indians aren't much into manual labor lol.

He spoke to one of the few people who got permits to build and they had to sink 2.5m into foundation and buried support columns before they could even start building, the average price of a home in that area to make it worth the while is in the neighborhood of 6-8m dollars. So just to build a spec house in that area, you're going to need at a minimum 8m to build/rebuild anything.
Insurance is not going to cover that, so most people are going to sell, and the only people who are going to be building are the well connected.

- This isn't MORE immigration. This is people who came into the country in the proper fashion, years ago, and have been working to become citizens. They are, quite frankly, preferable to those born here who want to flee because their feefees got hurt when OMB got elected.
- America First =/= keep everyone else out. Some immigration is fine. People who're a positive to the country, in controlled numbers.
- If you're looking to institute Fortress America, where all foreigners are forever more forbidden, I suspect that you'll find scant welcome on these pages and, in fact, in the country as a whole.

For people, it's about the job title achieved. People like Pete B. and Hillary have fabulous resumes if you are impressed by what jobs they were hired/elected to do. However, you'd be hard-pressed to identify any one thing they actually accomplished - some achievement while holding that job.

Fraud. Half the Somalis in Minnesota were found to have entered the US fraudulently, such as Ilhan Omar changing her last name, and later marrying her brother to get him in. They both then fraudulently got assistance to attend US college, IIRC.
The legal immigration process is broken, when they are clearly allowing fraud (probably selective).
Then there are refugees. Trump tried to end legal protected status for Venezuelan "refugees" who have been here 30 years. Thair continued residence here is legal. Uh, go home.

She whined about his "circular argument" after assigning him a position he never took.

Yay. We repay the debt. But that's spending money that the government is taking from us TODAY to pay for shit that our parents bought YEARS AGO. So, yes, you could say that we don't have to slash the debt but we absolutely should slash the debt.

The first and best thing we can do is stop digging. Whether we ever pay off the debt is one thing but, we need to stop adding to it.

I suspect many of the neighbors came for work, others for education, decades ago and eventually just settled in. They have "kids' in the late 30's to mid-40's born in foreign countries, but others younger born in the USA. Most all of their kids have kids in this country so they're citizens.
Also, probably a few hundred thousand Vietnamese and Hmong were resettled in the United States after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 as legal refugees. Thereafter, they (especially the Vietnamese) continued to have families come to the US.

An Aunt & a bunch of other older folks regularly ate in Sizzler way back. Routinely they took most of the rolls and butter, collected parts of other people's unfinished meals, silverware, etc. and put everything into plastic bags and paper napkins. (I knew people who worked a local Sizzler and never missed telling me the aunt's latest shenanigans.) She and the other thieves were financially comfortable but just bats. My dad used to holler at her and she'd counter "Waste not, want not!"
Any Sizzler "comeback" won't last.
It's worse out in public now with people eating directly off of buffet tables in restaurants, from hot and cold counters in grocery markets, etc. If plastic spoons and forks aren't available at their desired 'dining' place, they eat off fingers or bring a spork.
Artificial sweetener packets, bread & butter must be requested in a lot of chain restaurants that made it readily available before C19, and so on.

Daily Tech News 17 November 2025
Top Story
- The world's first microprocessor wasn't Intel's 4004, but the 20-bit MP944 control system built for the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. (Tom's Hardware)
Which I already knew, because while it was classified information in 1970 when it first launched - literally - it was declassified in the late 90s. (And because a while back I was doing a search for computer hardware with unusual word sizes, and 20 bits qualified.)
It's also not true.
- The first true microprocessor was probably the AL1 from Four-Phase Systems. (Wikipedia)
It was an 8-bit device, but it was what was known as a "bit slice" design: You could simply chain multiple units together to create a larger word size. The AL1 was never sold by itself, but the company did sell the System IV/70, a video terminal controller, that used three such chips to create a 24-bit CPU.
It was announced and in use two months before the first working samples of the MP944, and a year before Intel's 4004.
Tech News
- That great sucking sound you just heard was PC makers buying up all the nonexistent memory inventory so you double can't have any. (Tom's Hardware)
That's just wonderful.
- THEA1200 is an A1200. (The Register)
Well, it's an Arm-based emulator in a full-sized A1200 case, but that's pretty close.
And it costs about $200.
Plus $30 for shipping if you live in Australia.
That's not too bad, considering.
- The president of Windows announced Microsoft's plans to suck even more in the future and got roasted so hard he had to close replies on Twitter. (Tom's Hardware)
Good. More of this.
- The latest attack on npm was a tea-farming project that spanned 150,000 fake packages. (The Register)
If you don't know what any of that means, count your blessings.
That's not your PC or your internet stuttering near the start, unfortunately that's the video itself. Only for a couple of seconds, though, the rest is fine.

Xi picked the wrong girl to get tough with.
---
Japan’s foreign ministry said on Nov. 14 that it summoned China’s ambassador to lodge strong protests regarding the “highly inappropriate” statements by Consul General Xue Jian of the Chinese Consulate General...
“The dirty neck that sticks itself in must be cut off,” Xue wrote in Japanese in a now-deleted post on X,
In a subsequent post, the Chinese diplomat said viewing an attack on Taiwan as a threat to Tokyo is “a path of death” that some “stupid politicians in Japan would choose.”
Xue’s comments have triggered a formal protest from Tokyo. Lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties have urged the government to expel the Chinese diplomat.

A group of bits is a byte, a group of bytes is a word.
Almost all computers today have 8 bit bytes, and use16, 32, or 64 bit words.
Some older mainframe architectures used 9-bit bytes, and 18 or 36 bit words.
which is why we have octal. 3 octal numbers represents 9 bits the way two hexadecimal numbers represents 8 bits.

These days it's typically 64 bits long; that's what a "64-bit processor" means, that its word size is 64 bits. Meaning it can do its fastest math with 64-bit-sized numbers, i.e. numbers that can go from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
64-bit numbers are huge, so there are lots and lots of programs that use 32-bit numbers (minimum value -2,147,483,648, maximum value 2,147,483,647) for most things. And modern processors are also very speedy at doing math on 32-bit numbers. But 64-bit numbers are the "natural" size in modern processors.

I just dreamed that I was being trailed by a young hippopotamus, in the city no less. So maybe add "hippos" to the list.
I dreamed I'd met a girl I knew in high school. I seemed to be about 35, so this was only about 17 years after HS. She looked like Michelle Williams of Dawson's Creek (which she did not in real life), and we'd exchanged email addresses (which did not exist in real life then during the Punic Wars). Hers was an AOL. We were walking and talking, and a relatively slender hippo emerged from a side street behind us and caused a ruckus. We ignored it until we reached the end of the street, which was enclosed somehow, and the hippo was still behind us and attacked a house and yard, disrupting a family. Then I woke up.

Linda, as usual, won't tell me what she wants to do for T-giving. I refuse to go downtown, which involves driving on bad streets, parking blocks from the restaurant, and paying $$$ to walk among panhandlers and sleeping homeless in the area where I grew up. I've suggested a good seafood place in the suburbs; but she says, "I don't want *french fries*" (said in a voice of sheer contempt) "for Thanksgiving."
I've told her, "Either you tell me what you want tomorrow -- you make some suggestions you're happy with -- or I choose for us." Which might be nothing at all. I'm tired of going through this kind of stuff every major holiday: No matter what I do, it's not good enough, and she doesn't tell me she was upset until weeks later.
Plus her birthday is on 12/1, and she has mentioned exactly zero about what she'd like for that. If I ask, I get, "I don't know . . ."
Tired of all of this, I am.

Look for "restaurants"
Ignore all fast food and fast casual
Start clicking on each and scannibg their menus, yelp reviews, and atmosphere
No "family" ones
Look for cuisine she has enjoyed

Quick bit of advice about the reviews:
Start with the negative ones. See if they follow a pattern and check when they were submitted. If they are over 4-6 months old, it may not be a problem.
Also look to see if the restaurant responds to the complaint.

Other mainframe companies utilized other word sizes. CDC utilized 60 bit words (10x6 characters) for precision, along with 18 bit 36 bit word addressing. Burroughs utilized 48 bit words. Its architecture was weird being essentially Algol based, so code never had to address large memory spaces.
(3 bit) Octal was king until IBM switched to 32 bit words, which necessitated utilizing (4 bit) hexadecimal. I had spent so much time working in octal, that hex was never as easy.
One place IBM made a misstep when it moved from 36 to 32 bit words, was the adoption of EBCDIC. It was Extended BCD, and as a result, had gaps. ASCII didn’t.
