I did not see that one coming. Mind blown.
One difference, sleight of hand if you will, is that the Ottomans did not end slavery. There was a ban on the trade in 1857 but by then, Constantinople/ Istanbul was too weak to enforce any real ban on slavery outside Thrace and west Anatolia. The Kurds were still on it, the Balkans were the Balkans, and Arabia and Africa were like LOL glwt.

Unconscious Body Surfing Cafe

Sunset photographed from under water, by Dan Legend

Tiger gives some tourists a story to tell their families once they've recovered from their heart attacks.

Re-post: horse racing through sea caves.

Hula Baloo.

What is this thing?

Lazy horse doesn't want to give rides. So any time you approach him to get on him, he flops over and pretends he just died.

Life with huge dogs who still think they're little puppies.

Soulful dog.

Baby and dog play.

A torrid affair that scandalized the barnyard.

Weekend plans.

Steve Inman:

Old pervert gets Instant Justice. If only this guy were around during Biden's political career.

This has to be the sloppiest public brawl ever.

Purse-snatcher learns that not only does crime not pay, but it results in serious and possibly permanent physical injury.

Season's beatings.

Would be carjacker gets jacked by a car.

This better not be AI.

These source were sometimes know by the acronym "PACO", which stands for "Penguin Activated Comrade Operater".

81 Electric blankets are great when you're chilled, just want to *thaw out* & don't want to mess with the thermostat.

When hubby first got sick (and lost too much weight), I couldn't get this house warm enough for him, poor guy. Bought him an electric blanket & he snuggled under for about 2 weeks; I swear he only got out of bed to use the bathroom!

I use it to pre-heat the bed before I turn in on coldest nights, then switch it off or I'll get too warm.

137 Nice soft flannel sheets and an electric blanket for me.
Posted by: Tuna
------
I won't use an electric blanket. We have a mattress cover that has electric heating elements that we turn on a half hour before we go to bed so we don't climb into cold sheets, but it gets turned off when I'm in bed.
I've found that I feel very tired and listless in the morning if I sleep.with an electric blanket. It is probably due to the heat making it difficult for my body to regulate my temperature, but I have an alternative theory.
Each one of those wires next to your body is creating a small magnetic field at 60 HZ. Red blood cells are hemoglobin, which contains iron. Are the red blood cells on the surface of your body vibrating at 60 HZ if you're under an electric blanket? Can't be good.

I'd take the smallest bedroom and cover the floor with sand , project an ocean beach scene with gentle waves on an entire wall and hang a hammock . A couple of sun lamps would complete the room. I loved the first month of winter and dreaded the next 3 months.

Now back South I just converted two of my bedrooms to a movie theater and an art studio.

Here We Go Again: Leftwing Propaganda Media Claims the Anti-Trump, Anti-ICE BLM Supporter Is Akshually MAGA

Of course. Of course.

The Daily Wire reported Thursday evening that Cole comes from a family deeply entrenched in left-wing activism.
Weeks before the alleged bombings, Cole worked for his father's bail bond company, which specialized in freeing illegal immigrants and even sued the Trump administration's DHS over immigration enforcement.

...
Later in 2021, the company held a press conference bemoaning anti-black racism with a left-wing attorney. Cole Sr. and Benjamin Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin, attempted to sic the Biden Department of Justice on a local Tennessee prosecutor who had raised questions about the bail bond company.
Cole and his father ran multiple bail bond companies specializing in helping illegal immigrants avoid jail. Public records show the father relocated to Knoxville, Tenn., around 2017. One company even sued the Trump administration's DHS over immigration policies, claiming its clients were unfairly penalized when they missed court dates, but the D.C. Court of Appeals rejected all their claims just weeks before Cole allegedly planted pipe bombs. In fact, Cole Jr. had already been buying bomb-making parts as early as May 2019 -- long before any disputes over election results.

But on Friday morning, the mainstream media started pushing the narrative that Cole is a Trump supporter who "believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election."
"The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter," NBC News reported.

CNN published the same story. See the link for that.

118 The problem with women isn't the babies or lack thereof, it's the the psy ops being run on them through the media. Black women have babies, they're not conservative.

Look at all the trends that started magically around "2009" when the media managed to convince everyone, women included, that politics was personal.

Targeted psy ops are the issue.

From Obama, Trayvon and RACISM through the phony Hillary Rise of Women and hashtag MeToo bs, through covid... all were targeted planned psychological operations designed to mush the brains of the susceptible. And we are living the result.

The Jan 6th committee destroyed a lot of their communications, but they were sent somewhere, and I'm still curious about the details of what was found in the burn room of the FBI.

The louder someone proclaims Cole is MAGA, the more likely that person is in ass protection mode. The premise is so outlandish, that this seems like a Hail Mary to avoid repercussions.

If this guy (or some other people) planted these bombs on J5, the rally that happened on J6 should never have taken place.

And I seem to remember that there were reports of a police car or two sitting within the danger area/blast radius, seemingly unconcerned and the drift of the story I recall is that they knew the bombs were fake which is why they weren't reacting. Maybe my memory is bad but I distinctly recall something like that.

The Week In Woke

How many trillions does the Racism, Inc. grift cost us?

[T]here's one aspect of this industrial-scale robbery of the American people that feels especially chilling: It's this: When officials raised concerns about one of the Somali scams, the scammers threatened to publicly brand them as "racist."
You will be tarred with the brush of "racism," the fraudsters warned, and it will be "sprawled all over the news."

And here's the thing: it worked.
The officials crumbled in the face of the scammers' shameless playing of the "racism" card.
They carried on funding what they suspected was a sketchy outfit, so desperate were they to avoid being called "racist.".
This reveals a chilling truth not only about Minnesota but about the West more broadly.
It speaks to the lethal power of the racism grift.
It confirms that accusations of "racism" have become a key weapon in the armory of the duplicitous.
Even the state itself can now be cowed by mere whispers of the r-word.
It was Feeding Our Future that aroused the suspicion of state officials.
The Minnesota Department of Education was alarmed by the number of "feeding sites" that were popping up.
Yet the Somali scammers knew how to silence their doubters -- just cry "racism."
You will be in trouble if you fail to fund "minority-owned businesses," they said, and the Department of Education buckled.
"The money kept flowing," as one report says.
It was blackmail. Minnesota officials essentially handed wads of cash to the scammers to buy their silence, to shush their talk of "racism."
They gave away the taxes of working-class Americans in order to save their own bureaucratic skin -- such is the hypnotic power of the "racism" panic.
And it's not just in the United States; throughout the Western world, state officials are so scared of being called racist that they'll even turn a blind eye to criminal behavior.
Here in the UK, the "grooming gang" scandal was underpinned by the same moral cowardice.
White working-class girls in towns across England were raped by gangs of men from mostly Pakistani backgrounds, and everyone from cops to politicians looked the other way.
Why? Because, as one inquiry found, they feared "being thought of as racist."

Forget the trillions of dollars stolen -- how many needless deaths does the Racism, Inc. scam cost us?

A new book about George and Alexander Soros' project to elect leftwing anti-justice prosecutors notes their success, as they define it.

As Soros spokesman Michael Vachon admitted, "We started a movement . . . the knee-jerk, so-called tough-on-crime philosophy has been discredited in many communities."
He is right, and the results are catastrophic.
The foundational belief these progressive DAs share is that systemic social change, not aggressive prosecution, is the answer to crime.
...
It meant the effective elimination of criminal justice, putting more criminals -- even repeat offenders -- back on the streets.
This week an NYU student was assaulted in Greenwich Village by James Rizzo, a recidivist criminal with 16 arrests and a lengthy record of assaulting women.
Last week in Chicago Lawrence Reed, a man with a 72-arrest record and eight felony convictions, set a young woman on fire on the CTA Blue Line.
In Denver last month, repeat offender Charles Cooley broke into the home of Kevin and Sarah Root. After posting a $500 surety bond, Cooley is back on the street ("awaiting trial").
And these harrowing stories aren't one-offs; they reflect the data showing how Soros-backed prosecutors worsened crime.
In 2021 Philadelphia, under Soros DA Larry Krasner, broke its all-time murder record -- as did 12 other cities with progressive DAs.
In Chicago under DA Kim Foxx, overall reported crime skyrocketed by 369% between 2019 and 2023, driven largely by huge jumps in property crimes like motor vehicle theft.
Other major cities saw similar spikes.
In Oregon, under the direction of Soros-funded DA Mike Schmidt, drug decriminalization policies coincided with a huge spike in drug overdose fatalities, which more than tripled from 280 in 2019 to 956 in 2022.

Adam Carolla has been pointing out that ball-less leftist "men" have been crossing their legs like women for years.

Tim Walz, who has joked about "getting some news" about Trump being murdered and never apologized for it, is now complaining that people are shouting out "Retard!" at him after Trump declared him to be "seriously retarded."

People are driving by his house and shouting "Retard!" And this fat retarded queen is very angry about it.

JUST IN: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is now whining that people are driving by his house yelling �retard� and pouting that Republicans won�t rush to defend him.

@newstart_2024
Bret Weinstein just said something that won't leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented -- sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18--35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing... but with zero actual children. That energy didn't disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying's observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is -- it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as "free" as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution's primary carrots -- mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein's ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life... and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate...What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me -- honestly -- does this explain the absolute intensity we're seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Video here.

Work hard. Remember, there are foreign layabouts on food stamps and Somali pirates depending on you!

7 So something I have noticed recently. The Left would deploy the racism, Islamphobe, transphode, hater, -something-ist diatribe against the Right and they'd automatically FOLD. Since "some" on the Right have apparently reconnected to their gonads, these diatribes have much less effectiveness. HOWEVER, because the Left has sold their souls to these intersectional paradigms, any accusation that imperils their "bonafides" is deadly.

13 If everyone has the same amount of money, money is not status. Something else, something probably stupid, will be status. Because status is by definition what only a few people have. It used to be white skin was status because it meant you didn't have to work outdoors (and most people did). Then tan skin was status because it meant you had the money to vacation in Hawaii (and few people were that rich).

And seriously, people only got stupid and fanatic *after* birth control? The Tulip Craze would like a word.

The mafia did the same thing back in the day, without cries of racism, by paying off the right people. The ugly Somali mutants aren’t nearly as cool as Don Corleone, but they are using his play book. It’s all corruption, straight up, to the left and right, and right up taxpayers assholes.

32 "There's one aspect of this industrial-scale robbery of the American people that feels especially chilling: It's this: When officials raised concerns about one of the Somali scams, the scammers threatened to publicly brand them as "racist..."

And here's the thing: it worked.

The officials crumbled in the face of the scammers' shameless playing of the "racism" card.

They carried on funding what they suspected was a sketchy outfit, so desperate were they to avoid being called "racist...."

I don't understand.

The word "racit" had already lodt all its power TWO DECADES ago.

I wrote this definition in 2005:

racist - A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says "Racist!" has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying "Resign" during a chess game, or "Uncle" during a schoolyard fight. Originally, the term was meant to indicate that one side was accusing the other of being racist, but once it was noticed that people only resorted to this tactic when all other arguments had been exhausted, it acquired its new meaning of "indicating one's own concession of defeat."

33 When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life... and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate...What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Eventually it will devolve to the elimination of the other. I suspect that the muzzies have a head start on that one.

45 I don't really buy that "oh we were scared of being called racist". Its a handy excuse for being too lazy to do the hard part of your job and do a bit of legwork to verify those groups were feeding kids. Yes in 2008 the commies used the race card to elect Barack and push their commie agenda with the "You are racist retort to criticisms of any of Barky's commie policy moves.

And most folks figured it out and the race card lost a lot of its power. The Soros DAs and judges putting criminals on the streets are not doing it because they think it evens the racial scales, the thugs are mostly attacking their own race. But crime and anarchy makes people willing to give up their freedom for a promise of safety. Maybe some of the dumb bunny FNM newsreaders think that putting black thugs back on the streets is less racicst than locking them up so that ordinary blacks or brown people whatever can be more safe.

194 I am not saying the racism charge can't be used to intimidate people. What I am claiming is that in this case there's no way that is what happened. The people in charge wanted that money out the door and they use the "fear" of being called racist to justify not looking too closely at the fraud. We know for a fact if a minority does not have the right politics they have no fear of racism and go all out to screw them over in any which way they can. This is about making the white people who allowed this to happen look like victims instead of the accomplices they are. Tim Walz & crew didn't allow this to happen because they were afraid of being called racist. "The fear of racism" is the cover story.

Quick Hits

A liberal grand jury has refused to indict Big Tish James for her obvious, blatant mortgage fraud.

A leftwing judge dismissed the first indictment, claiming that the prosecutor was illegally appointed.

Another prosecutor brought the charges to a new grand jury.

Now that the left has made Big Tish a cause celebré, they're determined that she should go unpunished.

A federal grand jury in Virginia refused Thursday to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, shutting down -- at least for now -- the Justice Department's revived attempt to prosecute her over mortgage fraud allegations. According to sources familiar with the closed-door proceedings, prosecutors empaneled a new jury to review revised charges, only to have them tossed a second time.
James, 67, had previously been hit with two felony counts for alleged bank fraud and submitting false statements tied to a six-figure loan she secured in 2020 to buy a second home in Norfolk. She has repeatedly dismissed the accusations as political and baseless. In a Thursday statement, James thanked the jurors, adding she was "humbled by the support I have received from across the country" and would continue "standing up for the rule of law and the people of New York."
The first indictment -- returned Oct. 9 in Alexandria -- never got off the ground. On Nov. 24, U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie threw it out entirely, ruling that acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed and had "no lawful authority" to bring charges in the first place. The decision blindsided DOJ leadership, prompting Attorney General Pam Bondi to announce that the department would pursue "all available legal action, including an immediate appeal." Bondi also vowed to challenge separate lying-to-Congress and obstruction counts against former FBI Director James Comey, which prosecutors have six months to revise or refile.
That six-month window applies here as well. Because the judge dismissed James's case without prejudice, prosecutors could return with yet another indictment -- though Thursday's outcome makes that path steeper. Abbe Lowell, the high-profile Democrat attorney representing James, told CNN the decision "should be the end of this case," claiming that continued pursuit after a judge's ruling and a grand jury's rejection would be a "shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system."

Note that no one is reporting the grand jury is liberal. I make this assertion based on the fact that it sits in one of the most liberal areas of the country -- northern coastal Virginia, where all the leftwing federal bureaucrats live, the reason that former Confederate state Virginia is now as blue as Brian Stelter's withered balls -- and that they rejected a slam-dunk indictment. Only a political jury nullification can explain this.

In better legal news, an appeals court has reversed a Lowly Lawless District Court judge who blocked Trump's firing of an "independent" board member, claiming the Executive cannot fire Executive branch employees. By 2-1, the three judge appeals panel asserted that yes, the Executive, get this, has power over the employees of the Executive Branch.

The Supreme Court will probably finally overrule the bad decision in the Humprhey's Executor case that claimed the President cannot fire his subordinates. The Supreme Court has largely hollowed that ruling out by finding exceptions her and exceptions there; they may now take the necessary step of just wiping this bad precedent off the books.

Warner Bros. has been up for sale for a while. Skydance/Paramount tried to buy it, but their offer was rejected.

Now Netflix has bought Warner Bros., further consolodating the media into a few left-wing hands.

Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we'll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere.

On Black Friday, there was an offer for 12 months of HBO Max for $3/month. I said "what the heck" and signed up, mostly for the very big library of older movies that HBO offers. Those are all (or mostly) Warner Bros. movies. I wonder if this deal will wind up taking those older movies off of HBO's servers to save them for Netflix.

Amusing... but Warner Bros. was already doing this. In their very unnecessary Harry Potter remake series -- commissioned purely to exploit Warner Bros' existing IP and get Warner/Discovery a little bit closer to solvent -- they already announced that Hermoine and Snape would be black.

Under pressure from the FCC, AT&T says it's abandoning illegal DEI race discrimination.

The move follows years of controversy, much of it fueled by revelations that AT&T's internal training materials pushed the notion that racism was a "uniquely white trait" and urged white employees to accept blame as part of a broader critical-race-theory framework. Those claims first surfaced in 2021 through documents obtained by researcher Christopher Rufo, who reported that the company's curriculum told white staffers they "are the problem." The backlash never fully subsided -- and with Carr signaling that companies seeking key FCC licenses would need to demonstrate they are not running discriminatory programs, the pressure point became impossible for AT&T to ignore.
In a letter sent Monday to Carr, AT&T Senior Executive Vice President and General Counsel David McAtee said the company has overhauled its employment and business practices "to ensure compliance with all applicable laws," emphasizing that the changes would be substantive, not cosmetic. According to AT&T, that means no hiring quotas, no supplier-contract quotas, no race-based training, and no positions devoted to policing identity-based metrics. DEI courses have been stripped from employee requirements, and the company says it will not resurrect them.

We'll see if they just continue the illegal race and sex discrimination under a different name.

@esrtweet
I'm coining a term today: "bludgeonspeak".
Bludgeonspeak is the use of invented terminology, or historical terminology that has been hijacked and corrupted, and then emptied of all meaning except as an attempt at moral blackmail.
Here are some notable bludgeonspeak items in 2025: "racist", "fascist", "homophobe", "transphobe", "islamophobe", "far-right". Also, the term "genocide" might not be quite there yet, but it's being pushed in that direction pretty hard.
Some bludgeonspeak terms, like "fascist" and "racist" and "genocide", used to have substantive meanings which have been destroyed by persistent abuse. It may be appropriate to recognize and use those meanings if you are reading or writing or speaking about history.
Others, like "homophobe", "transphobe", and "islamophobe", were bludgeonspeak from birth. There are no circumstances in which these have substantive meaning, and it is unwise to treat them as though they do.
The only way to win is not to play. When somebody throws bludgeonspeak at you, call it out. State that you will not be controlled by their language, and you refuse to be assigned to a category you reject.
The key thing that people who employ bludgeonspeak don't want you to grasp is that these words only have the power over you that you allow them.
Once a term has been generally recognized as bludgeonspeak, it not only loses its power as direct moral blackmail, it can no longer be used as a social attack.
So: learn to recognize bludgeonspeak. Shut down the people who use it by refusing to give it power. And educate other people about this manipulation tactic, so that they too can reject it.
You can prevent semantic manipulation. All it takes is the will to do so.

This must hurt: Because Trump pardoned a pair of J6 non-insurrectionists, they're entitled to have the money they paid for restitution and fines given back to them.

The judge forced to order their restoration of funds is the corrupt, highly-impeachable rogue Judge Boasberg.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has ordered that a couple pardoned by President Trump for their convictions regarding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot be refunded their restitution payments and fines, reversing his earlier decision.
On Wednesday, Boasberg ruled that because of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision, Cynthia Ballenger and her husband, Christopher Price, are to be refunded the $570 each in restitution payments and other fees paid as a part of their convictions, Fox News reported.

Gavin Newsom is shielding the killer of an 11-year-old boy from deportation.

ICE announced Tuesday that it lodged an immigration detainer with the San Diego Sheriff's Office for 44-year-old criminal Mexican national Hector Balderas-Aheelor after he was arrested for a felony hit-and-run that killed 11-year-old Aiden Antonio Torres De Paz a day before Thanksgiving. The DHS' press release said the arrest detainer would not be honored because California is a sanctuary state.
The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard
Newsom's press office responded in a post calling the allegation a "complete lie."
"As we have repeatedly said: The state coordinates with ICE on the deportation of convicted criminals. California honors federal criminal warrants. Nothing prohibits the federal government from doing its job in this case," the post states.
Just over an hour later, DHS responded in a follow-up tweet claiming the governor's office was "playing word games to keep an illegal alien murderer in America."
"California REJECTED the ICE detainer for an illegal alien charged with killing an 11-year-old boy. Gavin Newsom says he'll only cooperate with ICE if the criminal illegal alien is CONVICTED, meaning California will let him roam free even though he's been arrested for FELONY hit-and-run," the department wrote.
Along with its criticism, DHS included a cropped picture of an immigration detainer's rejection on Sunday, with a note reading, "No qualifying criminal history, however current charge would qualify upon conviction with a new 1247 from ICE."
Following publication, the department provided the Daily Caller News Foundation with the full filing, with Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issuing a statement calling out Newsom and the state's politicians.
"The sanctuary politicians of California and Governor Newsom once again REFUSED to protect the safety and security of American families," McLaughlin told the DCNF. "It's despicable that our ICE arrest detainer of a criminal illegal alien who killed an 11-year-old boy would be rejected. When will Governor Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians stop releasing criminals into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk?"

The left has new book out about the sacrament of killing an unborn child: Abortion is Everything.

The book isn't intended for 21 year old women already on their third abortion.

It's intended for 5-to-8 year olds.

Get 'em while they're young.

The Shout Your Abortion IG post celebrates this book as a way to �normalize� abortion for children in kindergarten through 2nd grade.

But why even introduce such a violent, adult topic to kids who still sleep with stuffed animals and ask for night lights?

Because reshaping� pic.twitter.com/8MZ5WcSM9g
— Jenna Ellis 🐊 (@realJennaEllis) December 3, 2025

If you had any doubt, the book is hardcore pro-abortion propaganda designed to appeal to little children in ways designed to appeal to child-like mind.

The official book description proudly states:
"Abortion Is Everything speaks directly to five to eight-year-olds about what abortion is, how it might feel, and why people have abortions. With accessible, inclusive language, Abortion Is Everything frames abortion as the actualization of a uniquely human superpower: our capacity to imagine the future and make choices that lead us towards the life we envision. Abortion is a tool that allows human beings to shape our destinies, and which has shaped the entire world around us."

13 I've had a lot of willows today, but this one is relevant to the post.

I will never understand the need for adaptations, especially adaptations of 1000 year old legends that have been morphed and changed more times than can be counted, to be "accurate". Accurate to what?

Netflix has a new adaptation of Beowulf. I got excited until I saw the picture accompanying the description. It, of course, had a black warrior. Now, I have nothing against a black warrior in an appropriate setting, but I'm gonna guess that they were not exactly common in the Beowulf setting, and that tells me what I need to know about the show.

131 I think Tucker is living in a false reality created (intentionally) by leftist Big Tech, EU, and IC. They control his news feeds and all social media he is exposed to. They probably control his uber drivers and the people who he runs into when in stores.

They do this because he was dangerous and they wanted to neutralize him. This is the Treglia Pew speech I always harp on about.

My take: Andy got disgruntled after Trump won and Trump started making comments/insults/trolling about Canada in terms of trade agreements. Think the loss by Canadian right in the elections might have added to the anguish because a fair number of Canadians on the right blame Trump's comments for that.

Then lots of comments about Snow Mexicans, etc. in response from some folks here arose. May be around under some of the new floating nics that seem to not be very happy about this or that under the new regime. Maybe not. Dunno.

Eh, to last online you need a tough skin--I've been called a lot of names online over the 30 years or so in discussion boards (starting with Usenet forums) and dealt professionally with shitty comments on peer review for articles, discussants at conferences, editors, and student reviews.

Best to have "I Don't Care Margaret" attitude and carry on. As I told one critic, if what you say is true, then it is true--if not then I really don't have to care about it.

Never take online insults from randos seriously---in some cases it may be literally business for the ten cent posters or some delusional troll living in their parent's basement that haven't bathed since Kamala lost.

As usual, YMMV but that is my take.

As if, planting bombs at the capitol on J6, was no biggie.

I wanted it solved solely because I wanted the person who planted bombs at the Dem headquarters behind bars, whoever the fuck it is. We were "fixated" because this seems like an easily solvable case, yet no progress was happening. We also didn't know who it was - we had no idea it was a black leftist. Could have been a maga guy. Either way I wanted the guy found and punished.

The only explanation I can summon to understand why lefties weren't also fixated is the FBI knew when they caught the guy it wouldn't look good.

Oh, good grief.

That doesn't make sense. There can be more than one reason for disliking a movie. Number One reason is it wasn't very good, but regardless of my dislike of playing fast and loose with Arthurian stuff I would have liked it if it were good. It's not.

It shouldn''t be hard though to understand that using a well-known Character carries expectations.

Suppose Kubrick had instead of calling "2001: A Space Odyssey" had titled it:

"The Enigmatic Slab: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery"

Well...why not? Why can't Sherlock Holmes be a pre-hominid creature running around the African Savannah clubbing tapirs with leg bones?

Here is something that bothers me. The piece above about the DEI training material teaching that all whites are racists.

Maybe I am lucky, but I never had a job that was worth putting up with that shit. I don't understand why any white person does.

I really don't understand why the first person AT&T pushed that on did not push back and tell them that they are not racist, they are offended by the hostile work environment that they have created, and they can expect a 7 figure settlement demand.

Is the country so far gone that a company can systemically call an entire race "racist" and get away with it for years?

232 My take: Andy got disgruntled after Trump won and Trump started making comments/insults/trolling about Canada in terms of trade agreements. Think the loss by Canadian right in the elections might have added to the anguish because a fair number of Canadians on the right blame Trump's comments for that.

If that's the case, he's really going to be upset in about six months when they dissolve the USMCA agreement. Carney has been sitting on his entitled ass while Bessent has been updating trade agreements across the globe...many of which are making a point to include good trade deals on products Canada held a "monopoly" on with the US. Canada (and Mexico for that matter) will have minimal leverage in the negotiations, and there will be a bi-lateral agreement instead of a tri-lateral agreement. I'm not embellishing when I say that two years from now a Canadian dollar will be worth half of what it is now.

It's almost amusing how obviously the Brits are being played. Here's a little something that media hasn't even discovered yet:

Last year, the UK made all organ donations "Opt Out." This means you are donating your organs unless you take the steps to remove yourself. They made this ruling without debate, publicity, or Parliament involvement.

A year later they introduced Euthanasia into the UK (where it was previously illegal). And keep in mind the influence of their "nationalized health program" ...The NHS.

Now, why do you suppose they proceeded very quietly on the former, and then introduced the latter. What do you think their goal is?

274 Of course Trump fucked the Canadian election. Conservatives were leading bigly in polls for a year. Then Trump started talking about a 51st state and that lead evaporated overnight.

I doubt that Conservatives in Canada were ever "leading bigly"--Canada is the same nation that was relentless in shutting down free speech, shutting down bank accounts and wire transfers, and mandating state-approved speech during the last 4-5 years.

Canada's different though.
They consume our media more than any other nation due to most of the population being within 100 miles of the border.

You could see in the polls when Trump started trolling, Pierre's numbers went down, and Carney's went up.

A lot of Canadian conservatives were angry because their basic pitch is to be more like the U.S., and less like the U.K., and most of them admired Trump for bringing us back from the brink. When Trump started talking about the '51st state' even they were getting pissed off at him.

So Pierre got a lot of flack for being too much like Trump, when he truly isn't, and ran his best campaign and lost.

I have a theory about these woke kid's books. Sure, they are packaged and sold for kids. But they are REALLY for the adults who write them, as the books they WISHED they had as kids. They never got over traumatic childhoods where they felt oppressed.

There's a movement called re-regulation where you talk to your childhood self to heal your past trauma and childhood PTSD. Whisper to it in baby talk. These books are a subconscious extension of that. Shouting your abortion whispers to your PTSD inner child you are ok. Or something.

DOJ Sues Six Democrat-Controlled States to Force Them to Clean Up Their Dirty Fraudulent Voting Rolls

The DOJ is suing six Democrat-controlled states for refusing to turn over their voter registration rolls for checking for fraud.

Gee I wonder why they're refusing. I was informed, for example, that 2020 featured the most secure and honest vote in history.

The Justice Department has sued six Democrat-led states for refusing to provide their voter registration rolls.
The department announced Tuesday that it filed all six lawsuits against Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
"Accurate voter rolls are the cornerstone of fair and free elections, and too many states have fallen into a pattern of noncompliance with basic voter roll maintenance," Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. "The Department of Justice will continue filing proactive election integrity litigation until states comply with basic election safeguards."

...
"Our federal elections laws ensure every American citizen may vote freely and fairly," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division said.
"States that continue to defy federal voting laws interfere with our mission of ensuring that Americans have accurate voter lists as they go to the polls, that every vote counts equally, and that all voters have confidence in election results. At this Department of Justice, we will not stand for this open defiance of federal civil rights laws."

John Solomon says the actual number of Democrat states being forced to clean up their voter rolls is 26. I suppose that twenty agreed to do so when demanded, and six refused, necessitating the suit.

He says this will have big implications for 2026.

JOHN SOLOMON: 26 states are about to be forced to clean up their voter rolls, taking off non-citizens, dead people, the triple registrars, all of it.

The '26 election could be fundamentally different for the Democrats, because they won't have their dirty voter rolls!� pic.twitter.com/oEJUqgdeE3

Via Stephen Green at Instapundit, the GOP might just (bitterly) cling to power in 2026.

"As of right now, I'd say there is a modest bias in the overall House map" in favor of the GOP retaining control of the House, said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball, a nonpartisan organization that analyzes House races.
At the independent Cook Political Report, Erin Covey, U.S. House editor, had the same edge for the GOP.
"The very slight gain for Republicans, one to two seats, is the median scenario," she said.
All this could change as state after state tries to redraw congressional maps to favor the party in power.

11 I have noticed of late that on left leaning forums discussing left leaning news articles most of the actual comments and commenters are right leaning.

I understand you can get trapped in your own ideological bubble - if I just the response to news articles here at AoS for example it is going to skew strongly rightwards but these are things that should be skewing left and they are not.

How does one then square that when there is supposedly an energized left that didn't lose the 2024 elections by that much and has done very well in the 2025 off year elections?

Shouldn't the "Evil Trump deported a nice undocumented worker" stories have a bunch of people commiserating and not a bunch of responses of "I voted for this?!?"

This isn't getting fixed until the census is done again in 2030.

If 2020 had been done right, the GOP would probably have a majority 12 seats bigger.

And 2030 is going to have the further migrations, the corrections from 2020, and, maybe, the discounting of all illegals. At least, the deportations will have an effect.

What with the heavy gerrymandering I suspect that MA results are sort of honest.

But... then again... I remember Mayor Wu was elected on a platform of clot shot tyranny and had to immediately drop it after the city of Boston threatened to revolt against her.

So either voters in Boston are clueless, or the fraud machine is controlling the MA offices (or I guess both)

32 "John Solomon says the actual number of Democrat states being forced to clean up their voter rolls is 26. I suppose that twenty agreed to do so when demanded, and six refused, necessitating the suit."

The DOJ sued Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. So, if Solomon is correct, then the much bigger and more nationally influential blue states -- eg, CA and NY -- all agreed to turn over the rolls? That seems ... odd.

I think more likely these are test cases, or maybe the six best examples for the DOJ to build a case.

To paraphrase Son of Silvercon on X (Wombat-socho of The Other McCain blog), as long as states have same-day registration with no ID, it won't matter what the voter registration lists look like.

Some of the complaints the US government and the left as a whole had with the Donbass vote for independence was that the vote counters were allowing non-citizens to vote and people to be bussed from voting location after voting locations to vote multiple times.

Gouvea, a visiting law professor at the Ivy League institution, was in the US on a so-called J-1 (temporary non-immigrant) visa, which was revoked by the State Department two weeks after the shooting incident.

All of the R attempts have been cleared by judges.

NC's came and went without a whimper.
TX's just got approval from SCOTUS on a long enough basis that 2026 is covered.
Looks like the IN issue is being forced, so I suspect it'll pass, and there won't be any challenge that survives.
MO happened, and everyone forgot.

FL will happen, and it'll probably be aggressive.

All while Gingles is definitely getting gutting at SCOTUS, and Section 2 of the VRA may get struck out as well.

Oh for sure! I have a rotation. Even the wonderful Larry Elder, I love his thoughts, but the rhythm of his show throws me off for some reason.

The only conservative podcaster I could stand to listen to every day was Rush (AM not FM.) Even though he had different musicals and cultural tastes and was my dad's age. His historical knowledge, take on American Exceptionalism, and his singular views on the political issues never got old. Whereas I get tired of all the modern podcasters at times, even the ones my age with all my same cultural references!

There are so few actual swing seats since 2020. The biggest effect of the redistricting there (aside from the fraud at the Census Bureau) was to minimize swing seats.

Outside a complete collapse of a party right now, wave elections will probably mean something like 15-20 seats, tops, for a few cycles.

This is making this redistricting battle more important. If D's were heading towards a wave of 20 seats, but the GOP can undo 10 of those, well, that's a much small majority for D's.

I've been a follower of Carolla's since Ace here turned me onto his podcast 10 years ago, but I only catch him if he has an interesting guest on and avoid his funnier news bit commentary because of this.

____________________

That's the one on the list of 6 that interests me most. I'm convinced that the fraud in states along the border is massive. A state like New Mexico is ((IMO) a fence sitter. As a result, it always votes to the left via fraud. A state like Arizona leans right, so it becomes a toss up each election due to fraud.

And, more importantly, I think the motivating parties behind a lot of the fraud isn't necessarily the democrats (although they facilitate it). I believe the primary fingers in the pie are drug cartel related, and it's another reason why Trump is so focused on Venezuela.

Netflix has a new adaptation of Beowulf. I got excited until I saw the picture accompanying the description. It, of course, had a black warrior. Now, I have nothing against a black warrior in an appropriate setting, but I'm gonna guess that they were not exactly common in the Beowulf setting, and that tells me what I need to know about the show.

Decades ago, the supreme court ruled that anyone born in the U.S. is a us citizen. But that ruling is a bit debatable. It concerned a man born int he U.S., to non-American parents, HOWEVER the parents were here legally. This conforms to the constitution, which says that the children of legal residents (with a few exceptions) are Americans. Trumps' executive order says, well, the court never said a thing about the children of ILLEGAL residents. That is what is in doubt. And in that case the constitution actually says, the children of certain non-Americans are in fact not Americans at birth.

It is not as cut and dried as it seems, and the executive order was designed to test that.

We Absolutely Must Defund the "Universities"

A trans professor -- we're already off to a great start -- failed a student for disagreeing with him that trans women are women (snap!)

A freshman at the University of Oklahoma says she was punished in the classroom not for poor writing or missed instructions, but for quoting Scripture -- and now the school is scrambling to contain the fallout.
On Sunday, officials in Norman confirmed they had placed a graduate instructor on administrative leave after 19-year-old Samantha Fulnecky filed a complaint alleging she was failed on an essay because she cited the Bible to defend traditional gender roles. The instructor, identified in university records as Mel Curth -- a biological male who identifies as a woman -- gave her zero out of 25 points on a psychology assignment that asked students to respond to an article about how society perceives gender.
Fulnecky told The Oklahoman that she argued gender isn't a social invention at all, but part of God's design. She quoted Genesis directly: "God says that it is not good for man to be alone, so He created a helper for man (which is a woman)." She even went deeper into the Hebrew, explaining that ezer kenegdo doesn't mean a subordinate assistant but "helper equal to," a description the Bible also uses for God Himself. In her view, rejecting the concept of gender erases moral truth: "Eliminating gender in our society would be detrimental, as it pulls us farther from God's original plan for humans."
Curth reportedly dismissed her analysis outright, insisting she failed because she didn't use "empirical evidence" and labeling parts of her faith-based argument "offensive." Fulnecky pushed back, noting the prompt never required empirical sourcing and that university policy explicitly protects religious expression. "To be what I think is clearly discriminated against for my beliefs and using freedom of speech, and especially for my religious beliefs, I think that's just absurd," she told the paper.
The university appeared to sense the legal danger immediately. In a Sunday post on X, OU said it "takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms," and stressed that once Fulnecky complained, the school "acted swiftly to address the matter." Officials said she was contacted the same day they received her letter and that a formal grade-appeal process "resulted in steps to ensure no academic harm to the student." The school also confirmed that its discrimination review process -- the one specifically designed for cases involving alleged violations of religious liberty -- "has been activated."
Most notably, OU announced that Curth had been pulled from the classroom pending the outcome of the investigation and replaced by a full-time professor to "ensure fairness."

90% of college dummies believe that "words can be violence."

Which then leads to the conclusion favored by Marxists: And you can use actual violence to stop "word violence."

Nine out of ten undergraduate students think that "words can be violence" at least "somewhat," according to a new Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression survey.
The poll also showed that ideological gaps between left-leaning and right-leaning students are widening.
When respondents were asked how much the statement "words can be violence" describes their thoughts, 47 percent answered with "completely" or "mostly." Twenty-eight percent said it describes their thoughts "somewhat," and 15 percent said "slightly."
Additionally, around 59 percent of students said "silence is violence" describes their views at least "somewhat," though only 28 percent said it describes their thoughts "completely" or "mostly."
"When people start thinking that words can be violence, violence becomes an acceptable response to words," FIRE Chief Research Advisor Sean Stevens said in a news release following the poll.
"Even after the murder of Charlie Kirk at a speaking event, college students think that someone's words can be a threat. This is antithetical to a free and open society, where words are the best alternative to political violence," Stevens said.
The poll also showed that moderate and conservative students have grown less supportive of disruptive or violent tactics to stop campus speakers, while liberal students' support for those tactics has stayed the same or risen slightly compared to the spring.
At the same time, moderate and conservative students have become more open to allowing controversial speakers, while liberal students have maintained or increased their opposition to those speakers.

Not coincidentally, Americans now understand that paying for a four year degree in Transgender Studies -- and all colleges now teach is Transgender Studies of various flavors, like Science Transgender Studies, Law Transgender Studies, Math Transgender Studies, etc. -- is an "expensive scam."

More Americans are wising up to the fact that higher education has become a raw deal for all too many young people.
A new NBC News poll finds that a full 63% of voters believe a four-year college degree now isn't worth it, since many students graduate with "a large amount of debt" but no "specific job skills."
That's up markedly from 2013, when a majority took the opposite view, as 53% called a degree "worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime."
That was the case for generations of Americans, who saw college as a key step to higher-paying jobs and a better life: "Upwardly mobile" was almost entirely synonymous with "college-educated."
But over the last few decades, the dynamic has shifted: Far too many college degrees guarantee nothing ... except onerous debt.
Tuition costs have skyrocketed, doubling over the last 20 years (a redoubling from two decades earlier), as universities jacked up prices to match increased "help" such as federal aid and ever-larger government-facilitated student loans.
But in return for 70 grand or more a year, students today too often don't get prepared for a lucrative or even stable career.
Countless colleges have transformed into woke indoctrination factories that churn out grads with liberal arts degrees and zero specialized skills.
A report last year found that two-thirds of colleges require DEI-related courses to graduate, offering classes like "Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society" and "Abolition of Whiteness."
Why take on huge debt to be pummeled nonstop with identity politics?
Meanwhile, grade inflation and faculties increasingly dominated by leftist ideologues reduce the return even on "real" classes.
Plus, a rapidly changing economy is making white-collar jobs an increasingly unsafe bet.
Prospective students once could safely bet that a hard science or math degree was a sure winner, but the rise of AI is already wiping out options for recent grads in countless sectors, including tech.
Americans have noticed: College enrollment has plummeted these last few years, while numbers of Gen Zers are eyeing high-paying, high-demand careers as welders, plumbers and electricians.
Trade school was once stigmatized as a less-appealing option than the hallowed halls of the Ivy League, but a less expensive, more focused education that teaches a highly valuable skill now often seems the far wiser choice.

This is the "science" that we are now paying universities to produce.

🚨BREAKING: @Nature has just published one of the most insane papers imaginable. In woke studies, �feminist queer crip theory� leads the pack in terms of derangement.

The word "stoma" means an opening in the body, particularly in the digestive tract. I think They/Them means the anus, because the "pride" this pyrsyn wants to discuss is the pride in They/Them's queer poop.

No, that's not a joke, that's what the paper is about.

The retard wrote a paper about how They/Them has "crip guts" and can't shit straight and all the world needs to know about that and that will upend how we practice colonialist Western science.

BREAKING: @Nature has just published one of the most insane papers imaginable. In woke studies, "feminist queer crip theory" leads the pack in terms of derangement.
But Nature has now embraced it, publishing an autoethnographic paper about "crip guts," "queer stoma pride," the "intergenerational trauma" inflicted upon the author's guts by "British colonialism in Ireland," and how crip guts bestow people with "situated ways of knowing" that undermines "Western biomedical models of knowledge production."
A real quote from the paper:
"I was processing some memories around my gut condition and became overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It felt ridiculous explaining to the (English) therapist what had come up because the only way I could describe it was famine grief. The Irish Famine of the 1800s is of course before my time, but in that therapy session I felt overwhelmed with a grief that felt larger than my own. I made sense of this feeling through the framework of intergenerational trauma and described it as feeling the pain of the famine lingering in my guts."
The author calls for "queer stoma pride," which celebrates "the leakiness of bodies which disrupt boundaries" and "requires more collective and relational modes of knowledge production which value embodied experiential knowledge, holistic healing, and reject the idea that normality is a neutral desirable location." It further "focuses on imaginings of alternative, more expansive bodily futures which foreground agency and a joyous plurality of bodies beyond category, refusing the idea that non-normative bodies are a site of unwantedness."
She hopes that the concept of "crip guts" will "disrupt epistemic injustice and challenge Western biomedical models of knowledge production," though she gives no concrete instructions about how that looks in practice.
Ultimately, she says "queer stoma pride" is "about talking about poop at conferences and in journal articles," and "revelling in not being normal, being unexpected or disruptive, and rejecting colonial, queerphobic and ableist discourses around returning to normal, passing as normal, and aiming for normal, as if normal was ever a good thing."

They (the parents, anyway) are simply paying for credentials for their kids, passports to the halls of power and influence, where they will eventually learn, on the job, the finer points of lying, corruption, back-stabbing and woke politics for fun and profit.

48 Defund? I disagree. Too much of the problem is private.

Stop subsidizing. Entirely.

No more grants for student tuition
No more student loan subsidies
No more bankruptcy carve-outs for student loans
No more "development grants" of any kind to any institution
No more research grants unless they are for a stated government objective in energy, defense, ballistics/rocketry, physics, astronomy, chemistry or other objective-outcome subject. No grants for *any* social science, economics, biology or medicine.

Let the beast simply starve. It requires about three or four times as many calories as it can produce on its own.

When you elimate things, sometimes there are unintended consequences. That doesnt mean the thing that was eliminated was good. However, it persisted because it served some utility. And once it is gone you have to figure how to replace that utility. Teaching the virtues used to be a nice way of doing that. But thats not ok anymore. Doesnt make me a vile gash for pointing it out.

That generation is almost college age, and there are simply a lot less of them that exist. Which means less kids applying for college

THIS is why they are shoving in so many foreign students (that they can charge expensive international tuition rates for.) Because colleges can't shrink, they can only expand! Like the government. Also why they want illegals and anchor babies. The top group increasing their percentages of going to college is Hispanics. Universities looking for other avenues.

"Trooning out" is an offensive and derogatory anti-LGBTQ+ slang term and slur
. It is primarily used online by anti-trans groups and individuals as a transphobic insult.
Meaning

As a verb: The term is intransitive and used to mean "to undergo gender transition" in a highly offensive and demeaning way.
As a noun: The base word "troon" is a slur used to refer to and dehumanize transgender women specifically

No. Never. A school can be in a conservative township in a conservative county in a conservative district in a conservative state and the university there will be shot through with glass-eyed communist groomers, with every part of its operational policy geared toward producing more of the same.

129 University professors, at least in the liberal arts, are the most inbred snotty backstabbers I have ever met. I got called to the Dean's office because my art history professor accused me of plagiarism. He couldn't prove it, but he was certain it wasn't possible that I could write a paper on Cass Gilbert's St. Louis Art Museum with information he had never seen, because he considered himself an expert on the topic. Of course, all my sources were cited properly, but he just hadn't gone to the museum archives to look any of that information up himself, so I must have cheated and copied. He couldn't stand being shown up by a lowly architecture student.

This was mumble-mumble years ago. I can't imagine it has gotten any better over the years.

No.

Yes, it's the way white and Asian kids on the 2nd level of intellect compete with the top level, b/c they'd have no other way in.

I am against all of that for my kids b/c while you may get in to the "better" college, you still have to eventually get a job. And 22 with little experience AND a claimed disability is asking to never get hired. B/c you're not just a little problem (which all 22 year olds are), but now a bigger problem.

Also, relatively few people had graduated college in the '70s and '80s, so you were part of a small group, even if you had majored in an esoteric subject.

Now, that we have successfully encouraged many more people to graduate from "college", albeit generally in useless majors, being a college grad is no longer much of a mark of distinction.

Dude came to my architecture school and gave a lecture about how great he was. Didn't want to answer questions, of course. Figured he was above all that.

In my experience, most of these big shot architects don't bother doing any actual design work, and certainly no production work. They are glory hounds, is all.

I worked for a guy in Chicago who was second banana to Helmut Jahn for a time. Helmut scribbled something on a napkin and then handed it to John for him to make an actual building out of it. John finally figured he could do better on his own, so he left. Was one of my best bosses ever.

222 OT, but I'm super pissed at Steven Crowder. Jillian Michaels expressed concern that the right isn't formally denouncing antisemitic Nazi-curious troll Nick Fuentes. Crowder blasted her for that, said the right doesn't DO that.

(Actually we do...William Buckley expelled the Birchers, IIRC.)

Then Crowder said, since Jillian is still new to being on the right, she needs to sit down, shut up, and let the men talk, and in a few years she can express her feelings about things. (He even quoted the biblical scripture about women not speaking in the NT, totally not understanding the context for WHY the NT says that, based on the pagan female worship in that area at the time.)

And right after blasting her, HE platformed Nick Fuentes on his show this week.

I LIKE a bunch of the new crop of moderate dems that found in the Trump era, there's no place for them in the democrat party anymore: Tulsi, Dave Rubin, Jillian, etc. Time will tell if they are true believers or grifters, sure. But who is Crowder to be the thought police?

There are real architects, who not only do the designs people want but also produce the documents and do the field work to be sure what gets built was what was designed.

Then there are the "design-y guys" who think they are God's gift to the world and toss off impossible sketches, and then hog the glory because they are so esoterically elite.

No, that's not true: Legal disputes referenced in a Daily Wire article making that claim confused suspect Brian Cole Jr. with his father Brian Cole Sr. It also misrepresented the nature of the legal disputes, which did not involve illegal immigration policies and were separated by several years from the pipe bomb discovery.

---
I think there's a legitimate criticism that you can hold a student to "empirical evidence" standard, but it's silly to object that it's "offensive".

There are far more offensive things people can say about sex difference, like an Muslim, for example.

However, I would then need to examine what "empirical evidence" people holding other positions brought to the table.

"Yeah, it just seems society made it all up" (and yet it is some sort of innate fact about me how I "identify"), does not really apply as "empirical".

Curth reportedly dismissed her analysis outright, insisting she failed because she didn't use "empirical evidence" and labeling parts of her faith-based argument "offensive." Fulnecky pushed back, noting the prompt never required empirical sourcing and that university policy explicitly protects religious expression.

The class didn't require it. It was more of a "feels" instead of empirical data with footnotes.

Posted by: toby928(c)

There was an episode that sort of addressed Samantha's age. Endora, as usual, was trying to stir up trouble between them, and told Darrin how Samantha would age much more slowly than he, and would outlive him by a long time. When Darrin confronted Sam, she said that she would simply use her witchcraft to make herself look the same age as he as time went on. (Though what the problem would have been with her remaining her young and beautiful self eludes me.)

There was never any suggestion that Samantha had been married before, only that she had had prior warlock beaus, a few of whom turned up in the course of the series (egged on by Endora, of course).

I'm way late to the thread, but have you visited a college campus lately? I went to 4 about 3 weeks ago (during the term) and they were practically graveyards. It was ridiculously easy to park. I think "distance learning" is still in effect in many places, and the happy, busy thing called "campus life" that many of us enjoyed is gone. For people entering college during the COVID era, the campus experience is walking across mostly-empty courtyards and wandering down empty hallways where all the doors are locked. Whole suites of offices locked off for security, too.

He actually had his points. DW was going to pay him based on his engagement on platforms like Youtube.

Crowder's point is that youtube had gone out of its way on numerous times to demonstrate that they don't want *honest conversation* unless all the words are approved.

It's funny watching all the people who have adapted to the "New Rules" of Youtube saying "self-delete" for suicide and "grape" because they can't say "rape".

It's like watching Die Hard on broadcast TV and hearing "Yippee-ki-yay, Mother-father".

Which the hip crowd for decades thought was so ridiculous. But decades later, you can't say a rape was a "rape" on Youtube. You can't say somebody "committed suicide". Because Youtube has become like the old censors arguing that you can't tell the difference between reference and promotion, apparently.

Ilhan "Omar" Nur, Immigration Fraudster and America's Sweetheart, Just So Happeened to Have Ties with the Somali Pirates Behind the Biggest Theft of Taxpayer Funds in American History

Throw her in jail, then deport her.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar's close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered.
Omar (D-Minn.) held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted -- both for stealing millions.
Ilhan Omar, the far-left "Squad" congresswoman, has been eerily silent on the billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme that was centered in her Minnesota district.
Omar even introduced the bill that led to $250 million in fraud. Yet she claims to have been completely unaware of it.
"[Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program," claimed Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, to The Post.

"She had been inside the [Safari] facility on numerous occasions and couldn't put 2 and 2 together? Either she's terminally naive, or knew and didn't care," Glahn added.
Around $250 million was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals to schoolchildren during the pandemic from 2020 onward.
Instead, it was pocketed by corrupt business owners, including Salim Ahmed Said. He's the co-owner of Safari Restaurant, where Omar held her 2018 congressional victory party.
Said was found guilty in August of stealing over $12 million for serving 3.9 million "phantom" meals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He blew much of the money on a $2 million Minneapolis mansion and a $9,000-a-month shopping habit at Nordstrom, according to prosecutors.
Said ran a fake food site called Advance Youth Athletic Development, where he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day -- and pocketed $3.2 million from the food program.
Omar has not been directly linked to the scandal, according to prosecutorial documents. Her office did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.
The free meals were made possible by the 2020 MEALS Act, which was introduced by Omar and passed with bipartisan support.
Most of the money in Minneapolis was funneled through the now-defunct nonprofit Feeding Our Future.
It allowed both nonprofits and for-profit businesses to be reimbursed with taxpayer money for feeding kids by dramatically loosening oversight, waiving site inspections, and allowing bulk take-home food, with almost no verification.
...
In 2021, when Minnesota's Department of Education (MDE) flagged that organization for irregularities and "serious deficiencies" such as incomplete audits, a top aide to Omar, deputy district director Ali Isse, came rushing to their defense, in a newly resurfaced video.
He spoke at a gala praising the "vital work" of Feeding Our Families and blasted state agencies for asking too many questions.

"I'm tired of the MDE thing. How many more do we have to fight against?" the top Omar associate, who has not been indicted or directly linked to the fraud, said during the impassioned speech.
He also blamed the unwanted attention from authorities on racism and rallied the "community" to stick together. Isse did not immediately return The Post's request for comment.

Plot twist. Are you as surprised as I am?

Select your answer below:

"After Obama's staffer blame criticism of the Somali pirates and raiders on racism, I am...

A) "less surprised than Ace"

B) "more surprised than Ace"

C) "equally surprised as Ace"

D) "The Joe Bloggs Answer"

Whistleblowers have claimed the fear of being called racist meant government officials were reluctant to prosecute the scheme to its full extent early on.

It's almost as if killers, rapists, and thieves use the "Muh Racism" accusation to continue committing heinous crimes without punishment.

...
A different Omar campaign official, a Democratic activist named Guhaad Hashi Said, pleaded guilty in August to running a fake food site called Advance Youth Athletic Development, where he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day and pocketed $3.2 million out of the food program.
Said worked on Omar's 2018 and 2020 campaigns as an "enforcer" who oversaw aggressive voter mobilization in the Somali community, according to local Alphanews.org.
Somali immigrant Mukhtar Shariff was one of the 78 people to be convicted to date.
...
Omar and Said frequently attended events together. Numerous Facebook photos apparently shared by Said show him with Omar, including a smiling selfie together.
"This is a clan-based society, everybody knows everybody else and it's only open to those folks in that clan," Gaither said of the Somali immigrants.
Others receiving fraudulent money from the charity scam were donors to Omar's campaign.

A few months ago we learned that Ilhan "Omar" Nur's net worth had absolutely skyrocketed in the past few years.

2023: $205K
2024: $30 million
Evil America and the white man must not be that bad.
29 years in America and Ilhan is now worth $30 million dollars.
What a scam.

She claims her wealth came from her "husband's" company or investments or some obvious bullshit like that. Given the timing of her explosion in wealth, let's just say I suspect a different source.

This isn't just an idle speculation. Somali pirates have "donated" -- paid in bribery -- $50,000+ to Democrat politicians for protection, and that's just the money reported in FEC filings.

Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, including the Attorney General, were handed over $53,000 in campaign contributions by fraudsters who ripped off taxpayer cash meant to feed children.
AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, Representative Ilhan Omar and others received cash from the scammers who siphoned off some $250 million, largely through nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Many did so after meeting the crooks, raising questions about how much they knew.
"I'm not here because I think it's going to help my re-election," Ellison said during an encounter with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants linked to the scandal, according to audio obtained by the Center of the American Experiment.

However, days after the December 11, 2021 meeting, Ellison's campaign took in $10,000 from the businessmen. Gandi Mohamed made a maximum $2,500 donation to Ellison's re-election campaign. He was indicted on federal bribery and fraud charges last year.
Three more $2,500 donations linked to Feeding Our Future were also accepted by Ellison's campaign on the same day.

President Trump delivered a blistering rebuke of Minnesota's Somali migrant community during a cabinet meeting Tuesday, arguing that those who "come from hell" should return home and rebuild their own country rather than "complain" about the United States. His remarks cut sharply against years of Democrat-backed refugee policies that brought nearly 100,000 Somali migrants to the state despite persistent concerns about crime, fraud, and cultural assimilation.
"They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch," Trump said, declaring, "We don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it." He described Somalia as a nation that "stinks" and has remained broken for decades, adding that its dysfunction is no accident: "Their country is no good for a reason."

.@POTUS tells it like it is about ungrateful Somali refugees amid the Minnesota fraud scandal:

They aren't even smart or intimidating. If you study Afghan history, that nation is at least worthy of respect in the same way one respects a cobra or Stalin's NKVD.

Nah. he sais it because he is a racist bigot to the core. He'd say that shit whether he was having a bad run politically or not.

He knows he’s sick (probably dying). The minute he mentioned going to heaven it was obvious. Trump functions at the level of a third grader and he's just as easy to read/manipulate.

This is the "they're eating cats and dogs" guy. The only shocking part is we invited him back into the White House instead of doing what the French and Brazilians did to their despots.

Nothing against Somalis, but hijabs are a tool of oppression and even people who wear them willingly only do so because of mental conditioning.

The left were traditionally against mass immigration because it was understood it benefits the megarich at the expense of everyone else. Lower wages, lower living standards, less housing availability. Not sure when that changed or who approved it.

One does have to admire the cunning deviousness of the left's long game.

The Balkans are a special combination of disliking most other ethnic groups than your own, REALLY hating one or two specific groups (probably the Serbs), feeling you're the misunderstood, pure, oppressed good guys of the region.

Grab the popcorn.

You will recall, earlier this week Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara held a press conference about ICE activity and Somalis where he urged people to call 911 if they see masked agents because they could be "kidnapping" someone. Here: https://x.com/CrimeWatchMpls/status/1996060467794501710

Yesterday morning, community activist and former cop Lisa Clemons made a big post on her FB page questioning the chief's comment and suggesting it not only puts cops in danger, but seems to be preferential treatment for Somalis, when the same ramped up actions weren't suggested in the recent past when ICE was in town for Hispanics (truncated below).

THEN, late last night, the wife of police chief Brian O'Hara, Wafiyyah (who doesn't even live in this state) jumped on Lisa's post and told her to "grow up" and that she was spreading "lies" about O'Hara and that Lisa was "part of the problem," when we all saw what he said in the video.

Stay tuned, there's going to be more...

It's not a question of blaming Trump, just disgust at the perpetual inaction and futility of the system we purportedly now manage. Yes, it's great to bag the J5 bomber, but that's small beer, a sideshow.

What might offer a boost would be a far more proactive and personal (remember Alinsky) campaign against the media, and an aggressive public information/civics education campaign about the mutation of the democrat party into an out-and-out enemy of America. If we can't put them in jail, we can try to degrade and stigmatize them.

The Media Doesn't Know the Politics of the J5 Bomber, But They Can Say Defnitively That Brian Cole, Jr. is "A White Man"

The FBI traced electronic credit card purchases to find the J5 Bomber.

As you know, credit card receipts first started being kept by banks and vendors earlier this year -- I think it was late August -- so obviously Christopher Wray's Straight Shooters couldn't have taken this very obvious investigatory step.

The FBI carefully analyzed the Jan. 6 pipe bomber suspect's credit card purchases to isolate the components allegedly used to manufacture the two bombs, the newly filed criminal complaint obtained by Just the News shows.
The complaint, filed secretly on Wednesday, provides a detailed account of how the FBI identified and tracked the prime suspect in the case. It shows the FBI relied on a bank checking account and six different credit cards associated with suspect Brian Cole Jr. to the break in the case.
Notably, Cole appears to have compiled some of the materials the FBI alleges he used to construct the bombs long before the 2020 presidential election, the results of which preceded the Capitol riot which took place on Jan. 6, 2021, the same day the pipe bombs were discovered at the Democratic and Republican National Committees. The pipe bombs allegedly place the night before.
"During 2019 and 2020, COLE purchased multiple items consistent with the components that were used to manufacture the pipe bombs placed at the RNC and DNC. COLE used the Accounts to purchase these items from physical retail locations in northern Virginia," wrote an FBI special agent in the affidavit submitted to the court.
According to the charging document, Cole appears to have purchased "six galvanized pipes" matching those used in the pipe bombs on or about June 1, June 8, and November 16, 2020 at two different Home Depot locations in Northern Virginia. Cole also allegedly purchased "a mix of both black and galvanized end caps" on or about October 22, 2019, and March 10, June 20, July 8, and November 16, 2020.
The timers identified in the FBI laboratory analysis of the pipe bombs were allegedly purchased by Cole in June 2020 from a Walmart in northern Virginia.

Who could have imagined that a case about timer-detonated pipe bombs would be cracked by searching credit card purchases of pipes and timers? I award Christopher Wray the Straight Shooter Hypercompetent Professional Medal.

I don't like jumping on a conspiracy theory but I'm beginning to actually wonder if Biden and Wray deliberately tanked this investigation.

People on X are making claims about the bomber that I don't see being reported by the media yet. But given the media's credibility, I'm provisionally trusting X posters.

The January 6th pipe bomber terrorist was...
- a young black guy
- radical anti-Trump activist
- sued Trump & ICE & DHS
- extreme racial justice advocate
- works at his family bail bonds company that frees criminal aliens from ICE custody
Yeah, this explains exactly why the FBI & DOJ could not "find" this guy for 4 years. The Biden FBI had mountains of evidence against Brian Cole. Receipts, cell data, license plate, photos and videos of the crime. They knew exactly who did it!
But Brian's profile destroys their entire 'MAGA white supremacist insurrection bomber' narrative in one blow.
The FBI didn't "fail" to catch him.
Leftists protected their own.
This is the biggest FBI cover-up scandal in history. What a nightmare...

The J6 Pipe Bomber Brian Cole Jr comes from a far Left BLM family whose father sued the Trump Administration and wanted the Biden Administration to address "racism".
He had the same attorney as Trayvon Martin.
Does Chris Wray not arresting him make sense now?

Julie Kelly points out that the bomber bought the pipes for the pipe bombs, surprise, during the peak of the George Floyd Mostly Peaceful Riots. Months and months before he planted them in January. Suggesting he might have wanted to bomb targets during the riots.

Jake Tapper immediately pronounced Brian Cole, Jr., known for playing "Urkel" on Family Matters, guilty of the worst crime: Tapper claimed Cole was "a white man."

CNN anchor Jake Tapper was ripped by critics Thursday after he wrongly referred to accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr. as "a white man."
Tapper made the cringeworthy gaffe while discussing the arrest of Cole, who is black, during his opening segment on "The Lead."
His "white man" comment came at 5:01 p.m., around the time CNN was the first outlet to publish a photo of Cole's face that originated from the suspect's mother's Instagram account.

Cole's father is also black and once enlisted the services of Ben Crump, an attorney best known for his racial discrimination cases.
Viewers were stunned by Tapper's misrepresentation of the alleged pipe bomber.
"You can't make this stuff up," conservative pundit Benny Johnson wrote on X.
"Jake is sharp as a tack. Nothing gets past him. Dude's elite!" another deadpanned.
"Its impossible that he does not know what he is doing," one user speculated.
Conservative influencer Nick Sorter accused CNN of pushing "anti-white rhetoric."

But others were more understanding.
"Not a fan of Jake, but the guys name is Brian -- that may be a top 3 white name. So understandable mistake," one user joked.
"Clearly he never looked at the graphics. Probably just read a script," another suggested.

Jake Tapper identified the J6 pipe bomb suspect as a �30-Year-old white man.�

Benny Johnson oversells this quote, but Kash Patel does talk about investigating the FBI to find out why they couldn't have done what the Patel-led FBI did five years ago: he says when they make their case in court, people will ask, "Why didn't these people do x, y, z 4, 5 years ago?"

I realize that turned into an AP Math question at the end but it's what he said. It makes more sense when you hear it.

MAJOR BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel says Biden�s FBI will be completely exposed in court for covering up the truth about the J6 pipe bomber:

13 The "after the fact" investigation will now be the most fascinating. Who stopped the bomber from making future bombs with his "after the bombing" purchases? B/c why make more purchases if you aren't making more bombs...end of January and everything just stopped for him...we have 2 months to figure it out before the statutes will probably run on that accessory after the fact possibility...

31 In the 90s I used to mess around with and refurb vintage vacuum tube radios a lot, great winter hobby. Old school battery sets needed two different voltages - 90 volts DC for the tube plates and 6 volts for the filaments. Original batteries (9 pounds) are no longer available. I’d wire up 60 “AA” in series to get the 90.

The guy at Radio Shack was visibly relieved when I ‘splained why I wanted a metric crapload of batteries. Must have something to do with bad stuff, I dunno. But he kinda gave me the side eye at the register at first.

This is a conspiracy theory? It's exactly what happened. They had a mountain of evidence on this guy from the jump -- including minutes of security cam footage of him with his odd body shape in distinctive shoes. They had the bombs and thus could track back where the components were bought.

The FBI can track grandmas across the country like alien bloodhounds if the old ladies were maybe possibly in DC on J6. But they can't find a guy practically posing for cameras on J5? Come on. The investigation was deliberately tanked. 100%.

98 This is a conspiracy theory? It's exactly what happened. They had a mountain of evidence on this guy from the jump -- including minutes of security cam footage of him with his odd body shape in distinctive shoes. They had the bombs and thus could track back where the components were bought.

The FBI can track grandmas across the country like alien bloodhounds if the old ladies were maybe possibly in DC on J6. But they can't find a guy practically posing for cameras on J5? Come on. The investigation was deliberately tanked. 100%.

108 Pretty funny about the "white man" thing. Redundant example #2,346,723 of the intellect, seriousness, and professionalism of idiots like Tapper.

OT - Little Marco announces new "model" for foreign assistance, sans NGOs. Haven't looked at the details, but oh boy. Apparently talks about direct aid to foreign governments. Super-simplified, NGOs involved in foreign aid came about largely due to several reasons, one of which was ..... the need to *not* give direct aid to foreign govts., due to lack of accountability. "Budget support" - direct $ aid to foreign govts., had become a rarity by the 90s, for the same reason.

Fascinating in a pathetic way that the first most people had heard of many of these NGOs was from their current, deformed and corrupted version. Which in some cases bore no resemblance - stunning really - to their long-term form, with the big transformation (surprise!) coming during ..... the Obama years.

Of course the Universal Degradation that has afflicted every part of society for about 30 years also clearly played a part. So you had dumbed-down/brainwashed people staffing corrupted/deformed organizations. Amazing, really.

137 "Biden and Wray deliberately tanked this investigation."

You have to understand how these people think - they wanted J6 to be ALL ABOUT right wing "violence" and prosecute/persecute MAGA heads. This bombing made it much more of a "both sides" narrative, which would be intolerable. So, slow down the investigation of that. All they had to do was de-resource it.

They knew up front, since the bombs were at both party headquarters, the suspect was likely some sort of anarchist.

138 Fake Fapper didn't make a mistake with the "white man" comment. It was written for him. Someone wrote it without even bothering to look at the guy's picture.

How do I know this? Because of the deliberate reference to the guy's color. It was clearly intentional to signal to the oozing crudes that make up CNN's audience that the bomber is an Other. There's no way they ever would have mentioned his race like that if he was black or hispanic. No way.

In related news, Jack Tapper needs to be executed. There's no such thing as color blindness, as several highly-respected religious people for racial justice have stated (source: a quarter-dozen folks who call themselves several highly-respected religious people for racial justice). Either you are Black, you are racist, or you say you're color blind which means you're double-secret public racist. Per the HRRPFRJ (pronouced "Herpuffurge").

181 For crime collection statistics, perpetrator Julio Gonzales-Garcia-Miguel will always be listed as “White”. Always thought that was weird.

A random flyer posted on a college campus - “It’s OK to be White” will be denounced as “hate speech”. That’s pretty bizarre, and I’d like to see every democrat grilled on this during interviews.

“Is it in fact, Ok to be White? Yes or no. If no, please explain. Use additional time after the next commercial if necessary.”

It's not even gaslighting at this point. They're stuck in some other reality, and somehow glitched halfway into this one.

They have their narrative. They're stuck on the stupid. Even when it's being shown live and disproven right then and there.

There's earlier cases, but go back to that NASCAR race back in 2021. The FJB chant was going strong. It ended up being on live TV during an interview with a racer after the race. And there, on live TV, the reporter said instead it was "Let's Go Brandon!". When you could hear the chant yourself. Trying to remake history, 1984-style, in the middle of it actually happening.

The two bombs made more sense when the thinking was the bombs were intentionally fake and meant solely to try to make J6 look much more dangerous than it was.

But if the guy was leftwing tripe and a real bomber -- who was hoping to cause real destruction -- why would he target DNC? Antifa is fire-bombing ICE because they hate ICE. They're not fire-bombing DNC.

Steve Friend, a FIB specialist in child-trafficking, first got into trouble by complaining about being reassigned to a J6 protester case. He said that the FIB wanted to crow about a > 1000 cases on J6 protestors. The FIB wanted every available agent working on J6 protestor cases, even the simplest ones, even dividing up cases that would normally take a single agent, according to Friend.

It's suspicious that it might actually be the case that they did not have the resources to investigate the "J6 bomber" because everybody in the FIB was tracking down grannies who stood on Capital grass or the steps, and ignoring Ray Epps with both fingers in their ears.

257 But if the guy was leftwing tripe and a real bomber -- who was hoping to cause real destruction -- why would he target DNC? Antifa is fire-bombing ICE because they hate ICE. They're not fire-bombing DNC.

There's still much oddness to this story, IMO.

Yea. I'm still not sure how to square the current belief that the guy was an actual bomber with potentially working bombs with the older belief that the bombs were clearly toys. Didn't we see pics of the bombs and have descriptions of them? They did seem like toys. And certainly, nobody in law enforcement acted at the time like they were real bombs. But now, the guy is getting charged as if they were real. I don't know one way or the other.

How soon before they produce a "manifesto" this guy supposedly wrote that expresses his love for antifa and hates all things MAGA?

I'm reminded that the left still argues The Cock Curious Avenger is a MAGA guy even though he killed Charlie Kirk because....uh...he's white, he used a gun, and his father was a sheriff.

Ignore him having sexual relations with a squirrel boy and having gone off the deep left end of the pool once he went to college though...

I want proof, and the kind which the FBI didn't have time to cook up. I mean, I sort of thought I saw pictures of the guy and the guy was white. Am I misremembering something?

How soon before they produce a "manifesto" this guy supposedly wrote that expresses his love for antifa and hates all things MAGA?

He used a permanent marker to write "im gay haha i love antifa and also fuck trump. Also I'm black ans Trans and also Biden is old."

So let me guess, this person will be convicted and painted as a radical ANTIFA person, and the 1100+ J6ers who were tried and imprisoned were all pardoned. It’s just so blatant

Biden administration solved case at end of their administration. Dictator Donny delayed it because it was another right wing gun loving weirdo. They only released it because they changed it to fit their narrative and distract from other scandals.

How dumb is this guy?

"Dictator Donny delayed it" for WHAT?! TWO WEEKS he had LEFT?!

And then WHAT was done for FOUR YEARS??!!

But "Dictator Donny" gets another chance to dely it for 11 months!!

So, Delay

Biden: 4 WHOLE YEARS, 48 Months
Trump: ~11 Months (Two weeks + .5, but -.6 for only getting the keys Jan 20)

It's obvious the culprit of delay is the 11 months, not the 48 months!!!

286 I'm sure Tapper will explain that it was an "honest" mistake. He just misspoke. My question is why it was important to point out in the first place.

Identity politics really are a pox. SNL actually does an ongoing skit called "News Team" where the black and white anchor compete to see if a suspect is white or black based on their name. It's actually one of the more funny offerings they do, and reflects the reality in actual news shows like Tapper's.

Never once worrying about whether America would become 1 party and whether or not 1 party would have a vast majority of Supreme Court justices.

This is how you see them as the partisans they are.

Myself, I don't want to be left alone in the room with Republicans, because besides some rhetoric I share with them, I don't think they are that much better human beings--especially the politician.

That "potentially" is doing a lot of lifting. The ATF has been known to take obviously inoperable firearms and replace/repair parts to make it minimally "functional" in order to prosecute someone for prohibited possession. In this case, I'd bet my milk money that "potentially" means that it was a pipe with some kind of explosive material inside of it. The "timer" is a one-hour kitchen timer on a device left 24 hours earlier. No sign of any kind of ignition device that I've seen. So yeah, "potentially" a bomb like a bottle of Karo syrup is "potentially" a pecan pie.

336 Myself, I don't want to be left alone in the room with Republicans, because besides some rhetoric I share with them, I don't think they are that much better human beings--especially the politician.

I believe the Democrat party is the result of FDRs near dictatorship and subsequent 40 year dominance of Congress. Where they became DC.

Republicans wouldn't resist the effect of that much dominance either. It's dynamic, it's not static.

GOPe is King Log. They use their powers for generating wealth for them and their families.

Democrats are King Stork and will gobble up every bit of freedom, wealth, and everything they can steal from the rest of us. It is a criminal conspiracy masking as a political party. Same as the communist party as the eternal dictatorship of the proletariat (while allowing no real proletarians anywhere around power which is reserved for the nomenklatura) or Islam where you get the traditional despot marriage to state religion for control and plunder society.

You can vote out King Log aka GOPe; not so much for any of the other three because they see control as their destiny over their lessers.

374 That "potentially" is doing a lot of lifting. The ATF has been known to take obviously inoperable firearms and replace/repair parts to make it minimally "functional" in order to prosecute someone for prohibited possession. In this case, I'd bet my milk money that "potentially" means that it was a pipe with some kind of explosive material inside of it. The "timer" is a one-hour kitchen timer on a device left 24 hours earlier. No sign of any kind of ignition device that I've seen. So yeah, "potentially" a bomb like a bottle of Karo syrup is "potentially" a pecan pie.

During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter previously told CNN.

The FBI arrested Cole, 30, at home, where he lives with his parents, on Thursday.

Cole spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate.

The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment for this story./i]

400 NBC is also going with the "He thought Trump Won The 20202 Election" angle:

https://tinyurl.com/2c73np34

WASHINGTON — The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Brian Cole Jr., 30, is cooperating with the FBI, NBC News has reported, citing a separate person familiar with the matter. Cole is expected to make his first court appearance on Friday. He was charged Thursday with leaving pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee in the hours before Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Trump has falsely claimed the 2020 election was "rigged."

Trump said something again,... 'without evidence'.

407 CE stands for Christian Era, while BCE means Before the Christian Era. So same as AD and BC. Some people will try to tell you the C stands for something else, but the dates are based on the presumed birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christian Messiah, so don’t believe any hooey. Now, Dionysius the Monk got Jesus’ birthdate wrong by a few years when he set up the Christian calendar since Jesus was a toddler when the Magi visited him in Bethlehem (τό παιδίον

, then came the Slaughter of the Innocents in Bethlehem ordered by Herod the Great, who then died in 4 BC (or BCE). Joseph was warned in a dream by God and so had hightailed it to Egypt with Mary and Jesus before the massacre of all the male babies and toddlers in Bethlehem. Thank God!

THE MORNING RANT: I’m Missing Classic Christmas Hymns at Church Christmas Concerts

One of the seasonal treats I have always enjoyed is Christmas performances put on by choirs and orchestras, be they schoolchildren singing at the mall, or a church’s big annual Christmas concert, or a highly trained college troupe. At the risk of sounding too “Bah, humbug,” my enthusiasm for attending these performances is waning. It’s not because I no longer like the traditional Christmas standards, it’s because I miss those old Christmas standards.

While I don’t mind that choir directors want to “challenge” the audience with some new or unfamiliar Christmas tunes, I am annoyed that some of the shows I’ve attended in recent years have been virtually devoid of any familiar tunes. Even worse, some of the unfamiliar music is truly awful.

The big, local, Protestant church in my town has a beautiful tradition of putting on a Christmas show that the whole community is welcome to attend. It features an orchestra and three choirs (adult, youth, and children.) It has been a source of civic pride for many years, and my wife and I never miss it. But I may skip it this year, because if I want to hear what I consider “Christmas music” I might do better streaming a Christmas channel at home.

I’m not even saying that the show should only be songs like “Joy to the World” or “The First Noel.” I’d be thrilled to occasionally hear “Once in Royal David’s City” or some such. And if the choir director wants to challenge the audience, perhaps instead of doing some awkward patois to a Christmas calypso, the choir could perform the “Coventry Carol” with an explanation of Herod’s wrath upon hearing of the newborn king.

Back a decade ago, the performance I’m referencing included about 20 songs, of which about ten were very well-known Christmas hymns (“O Come All Ye Faithful” “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,” etc), five lesser-known but recognizable songs (e.g. “Bring a Torch,” “Infant Holy, Infant Lowly” ) and five completely unknown songs, several of which deserved to become better known. That was a good mix, and I enjoyed being exposed to a few new-to-me songs.

But I’d guess that last year’s show included approximately 18 unknown songs, including several “folk songs” from developing countries. The only familiar tune before the finale was one sing-along medley of favorites such as “The First Noel.” The finale was a beautiful arrangement of the Hallelujah Chorus, which was much appreciated by the crowd hungering for a familiar melody.

Among the most awkward moments were the children’s choir singing a song no one in the building had ever heard before. If there was an actual melody, it was not discernible. All that needed to be done was to let the children sing “Away in a Manger” like thousands of other children’s choirs have done before. The kids would know the tune, as would everyone in the crowd, and the parents would beam with pride watching their kids singing that beloved song.

In that same show, the youth choir tried to phonetically sing in Latin to a song no one had ever heard before, which was also difficult to watch, and difficult to listen to. Please, just let them sing “Do You Hear What I Hear.” They’ll enjoy it more, and the audience will appreciate a simple song sung well.

There is so much beautiful Christmas music out there. Having that music performed live by talented singers and musicians is a gift from the performers to the audience. That is all that is expected.

I suppose it’s sort of like attending the touring show of a prominent band or musician. The audience loves the famous hits, performed the way they have always been played, and that is what the audience has shown up to see. Being introduced to some new stuff is expected and appreciated, but there is an obligation by the performer to play the greatest hits.

Let’s keep the great canon of Christmas music alive, and let’s hear those songs performed with the dignity and reverence they deserve!

On that note, here are a few old classics that I’d love to hear performed live by a choir and orchestra:

81 I suppose it’s sort of like attending the touring show of a prominent band or musician. ....but there is an obligation by the performer to play the greatest hits.

I may have told this story before. About a hundred years or so ago, I was at a show headlined by Merle Haggard. After waiting through about 2 hours of "up and coming" acts, Merle took the stage. After a few songs, he played the opening bars of one of his many hits. As soon as the audience recognized the song and applauded, he stopped abruptly and smirked. After 30 seconds or so of awkward silence, he would start another recognizable hit. Again, the audience applauded and he stopped. After the third or fourth time, I realized that he was basically mocking the audience for being fans. I still like a lot of his music but since that moment, I've considered him a sh*tbird personally.

110 It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

I mean, how can you not love that they literally sang a song about thanking God that someone else had a crappy life instead of them? And all the words sh&tting on Africa after...it's hilarious how awful those celebs are...

Interesting story.

I remember as a kid growing up in the 60s & 70s liking a lot of Bob Dylan's stuff -- especially his poetic ballads -- despite his awful nasal singing voice (unlike some of you, I'm a 95% lyrics guy and a 5% music guy).

Anywho, there was some concert of his I was looking forward to seeing on TV (I think in the late 80s or early 90s), and had to turn it off after a couple of minutes because he was just mumbling through the unrecognizable words.

At first I thought he was drunk, but then deduced that he was -- similar to what you described above about Merle -- mocking his audience for daring to want to listen and sing along with his famous hits. I was disappoint.

130 This evening I will be attending "A Celtic Christmas" at a local church. It is a hugely popular event. (We will get there more than an hour prior to find parking.) It is Celtic because the choir dresses in tartan and they have a bagpipe troupe and a homeschool co-op drumline perform. It's full of tradition.

A Christmas event should be traditional. It is celebrating an event from over 2,000 years ago, and has been celebrated for something like 1,600 of those years. If your goal is to make it shiny and new, then you're not really celebrating what happened 2,000+ years ago - you're celebrating yourself. If you want to introduce something new (or old but forgotten), then ensure it points to the Reason For the Season and not to itself.

BTW, I also think some of the "best-loved" songs are trite and not deserving of the time often given them in concerts. But I'm a curmudgeon in that.

All of it, including the religious classics, have been beaten into the ground over my entire lifetime because every artist with a record deal has to crap out a Christmas album, and who can even be bothered to care which idiot is singing one of these same 30 or so songs this time?

Miss me with that shit, unless it's a really good instrumental version of a classic, which I will abide.

" I think a great question to ask would be "why were those songs chosen at the expense of traditional ones?"

Because the performers are sick and tired of playing the same shit over and over. "Hey! Play Take the A Train.". Hey! Do you know "When the Saints go Marching in" ? etc...

There is a lot of great music in all categories the public is completely unexposed to.

Sadly people glom onto what they are comfortable with and exposed to at a certain period in their life. This isn't that case with most musicians and creative performers.

Setting up a program or a set list that is going to go over requires balancing expectations with new material.

And of course, you can never please everybody.

Morning cinnamon rolls and coffee, unwrapped presents with the fake Netflix fire for 2 hours, then a charcuterie tray and fruit tray (I don't count this as cooking b/c nothing is heated) and everyone bails to play/put away presents while spouse puts on the Christmas Story (that I hate) and NFL football now til take in Chinese when we sit and enjoy each other for another hour or two and then have the Christmas cookies baked on prior days. Church is always Christmas Eve late.

No stress...if Chinese is closed or out of duck (which it was one year) swapping to Thai ordered duck was fine. Everyone lived. And if every place is closed, I always have the ingredients for spaghetti.

195 I put a "Calm Christmas Music" playlist together on Spotify; it's mainly slow-ish piano and other instrumental versions of well-known carols. Suits us fine, especially in the current gloomy, cold weather. I also enjoy some ancient and medieval carols, and these can be very obscure, but I agree that these are probably not for mass consumption. I usually kick off Nativity Season by listening to Ony Wytars' "On the Way to Bethlehem." It's very old pilgrimage songs and very much not a mass-appeal choice.

New Carols Adjacent:

so...the lovely and tolerant Mrs naturalfake and I suffered through a new """"""adaptation""""""" of "A Christmas Carol", titled-

titled, "Spirited", streaming on Apple.

It's a Will Ferrel musical dealio starring him and Ryan Reynolds, and basically exists to undermine the whole idea and concept of both Christmas and the story "A Christmas Carol".

It's subversive, yo!

It's present as a comedy but Holy Cow, "Spirited" is a comedy desert where you go starving except for the rare dead dehydrated cockroach of a joke that occasionally shows up to give you a small, microscopic grin.

Awful crap. Awful songs that sounds like the fake Broadway songs they used to sing on SNL. Very strenuous acting by all involved- Great way to exercise those acting muscles, chumps! And neither Ferrel nor Reynolds can sing particularly well.

Where's an Autotune when you need one?

Yes, they really own The Normies(TM) with this.

237 Went to both my own kids and the grandkid's Holiday concerts for decades- they went to the same elementary school.
When the 6th grade became part of middle school, they had to drop 'The Night Before Christmas in Texas, You All" and give the fifth grade "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree", because it was a crowd favorite.
It was literally the same program every year.
When the 2nd grade sang and signed "Silent Night", dads cried like little girls.

238 Our local Christian university presents a Christmas worship service every year for the community. It seems the guiding principle is to make it as beautiful as possible to glorify God. The decorations are classy and there are multitudes of candles on stage and around the auditorium. The music is exquisite and we are encouraged to contemplate God's wonderful gift and to give Him praise.

It is absolutely uplifting to attend and participate.

241 >> If "C" represents "Common", common to whom?

If you want to have fun, just let the "C" be "Christian", the Christian Era. In fact, that's what "common" really meant when it first came into usage way back in the days of Kepler, I think. Don't hold me to the exact timeline.

Common was oft dubbed "vulgar", meaning common, and it didn't have the negative connotation it has today. So they spoke of the "vulgar/common" era, vulgar in the sense of not some regal year number (ie the Year of King Chuckles III such-and-such), which is what the common people were using.

For all practical purposes, common era means Christian era. Those who use it today aren't too aware of that fact.

Mrs B sings in a church choir. They got a new choir director a year or 2 ago. The guy carries on like he's a Broadway director on Broadway working with professionals, and constantly pushing for new songs at a quantity and rate that only professionals could deal with when it's their only job.

According to the small print at the bottom of the program the school system will mix secular and sacred music in their concerts through the year, although each concert "may not exhibit this diversity." Each band level played three songs, two non holiday and one secular holiday song--they're still playing Anderson's Sleigh Ride!

265 A fun carol is "The Huron Carol," Canada's oldest Christmas song, probably written in 1642 by a Jesuit missionary to the Huron/

It retells the Nativity story using imagery that the Indians would've been familiar with, e.g.,:

Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender Babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapp'd His beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high...
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria."

Despise Him not for lying there, first what He is enquire:
An orient pearl is often found, in depth of dirty mire;
Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish, nor beasts that by Him feed:
Weigh not His mother's poor attire, nor Joseph's simple weed.
This stable is a Prince's court, the crib His chair of state:
The beasts are parcel of His pomp, the wooden dish His plate.
The persons in that poor attire, His royal liveries wear,
The Prince Himself is come from heaven, this pomp is prizèd there.

289 My church choir consists of 4-6 ladies and 2-5 gentlemen on any given Sunday. I'm usually the only baritone.

This Christmas Eve we are singing Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and one of the associate priests has deigned to join us so we have a second deep voice just for this piece.

People just aren't learning how to sing any more, which is one of the reason the old complex pieces have fallen out of favor. The postmodern "challenge" the music directors bring is more owing to culture shock than musical complexity.

And I have no problem with proclaiming Christ in the music and languages of different cultures, since his Gospel is universal. But I don't know why it has to be at Christmas.

We have a whole week of stuff, with a pre-Christmas Christmas party that finishes off putting on the ornaments on the big tree that just devolves into a party of food and drink by the end; a Christmas Eve gathering with family favs, then Midnight Mass where I am in the choir, then gifts Christmas morning, with a more elaborate meal that day and then the weekend following an extended family gathering with more food and gifts and a family band concert of non-Christmas music.

341 O Come O Come Emmanuel is now my new favorite Christmas hymn - all seven verses. Reading the lyrics, it is the entire life and ministry and purpose of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent and Once in Royal David's City were my previous favorites, now one and two. Other than overseas, the only churches that seem to sing these type of hymns now are the Presbyterian Church of American churches, so if there is one in your area, definitely go to their Christmas eve service. It is usually a Carols service that include these types of hymns.

Also Christmas sentiment includes candy, and Al Leong takes candy just before shooting up the SWAT team.

Winning back your family by killing terrorists is a time honored Christmas sentiment.

Thanks, it looks like scholars have been able to make deductions based on clues and good research, so some measure of understanding of how it's pronounced.

362 289: People just aren't learning how to sing any more, which is one of the reason the old complex pieces have fallen out of favor. The postmodern "challenge" the music directors bring is more owing to culture shock than musical complexity.

Just wait until AI is really set loose on songwriting and music making, including sacred music. My daughter, who is studying music at a small Christian college, told me about some "worship song" that was completely AI. For the record, she LOATHES the use of AI in music, and appreciates the variation and "humanness" of people actually singing and playing instruments.

To be fair:

What we now call the Internet was at one point Arpanet and was pretty much limited to Department of Defense facilities and research universities. Al Gore pushed a bill that established (what was then) high-speed switching centers and relatively large bandwidth links among major urban centers that helped open the network up to commercial and consumer interests and started us on the road to the Internet as we know it today. Heck, the ".com" top level domain was added to the net long after .mil, .edu, etc. When it first started out commercial entities were BANNED from using it.

Not even priests officiating at a Traditional Latin Mass?

The RCC pronounces Latin as if it were Italian. This is authentic as the pronunciation changed along with the Vulgar Latin that became Italian. At one time, every country whose students learned Latin pronounced as if it were their own language. Thus English-speaking Latin students would pronounce the “c” in “excelsis” the same way they would pronounce the “c” in “France”. Then circa 1905 the attempt was made to reproduce the way the ancient Romans pronounced Latin: “exkelsis”. This IMHO killed Latin as a living scholarly language. By the way, “excelsis” is pronounced as “exchelsis” by the RCC because that’s how Italian handles “c” followed by “e”.

So, at least in my case, I give the listeners what they tell me they want, whether that's Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, or even Do They Know It's Christmas (which I loathe).

50 This may be one of the most restful paintings I've seen and beautifully rendered. It isn't a complicated scene but the realism of the horses, their appearance and postures, against the gentle landscape sets the mood. The subdued light makes me think of approaching dusk, a day winding down. It is simply effective.

CBD, thanks. This is a lovely scene to end the week with. I'm watching a gentle snowfall at the moment which goes with this mood.

58 I’ve found with horses that unless they’ve been already worked really hard or they are already dehydrated then yeah they won’t drink. But for feed or treats? They are ready 100% of the time to chow down. Like dogs with a treat bag. Highly food motivated. And the trouble is a lot of what’s growing on the ground is also food. Very easy distracted. Hence the grazing muzzles.

60 G'day, art fans. 🌞

Sometimes with these muddier pictures, I like to copy them to my paint program and adjust the brightness and contrast. With today's, I had to boost the b & c by 60 & 40, considerably more than yesterday's, before I got something close to normal-looking. Could see the details much better, like the boy's face or the hair of the horses' manes. Don't know how alike or different it is from the original, but it was altogether cheerier.

Heh.

You're more than likely familiar with this anecdote that I learned from reading the great biography of Ulysses S. Grant by Ron Chernow:

Grant -- known for his exceptional equestrian skills and deep affection for horses -- reacted with intense anger when he witnessed a teamster brutally beating a horse. He then ordered an officer to take the man in charge and have him tied to a tree for six hours as punishment for his brutality. (My memory is that he had him whipped as well, but that's not confirmed when searching for the details of this incident.)

[BTW, I find it most fascinating that both Washington and Grant were considered the greatest horsemen of their generations. Anybody seen Trump on a horse?]

Bulg, Western Civilization is based on a shared Greco-Roman-Christian heritage. Our systems of calendaring, although the sources of dispute over the centuries, are symbols of that unified culture. America is the apotheosis of Western Civilization, arising both in a new land and bringing together an amalgam of nationalities (primarily Western European, certainly at first). Our Hebraic brothers have foundational beliefs, but little impact on the concrete workings of our society (i.e., Sunday was the recognized day off, the Sabbath, for 2,000 years). So when nerd wankers decide THEY are going to change our systems, without election, conquest, or plebiscite, they can FUCK RIGHT OFF. I'm not changing my society because someone doesn't want to think the word Christ. Chiist is King, baby!

Carlos Portugal Gouvea, 43, copped Nov. 13 to a single charge of illegal use of the air rifle in connection with the Oct. 2 incident outside of Brookline’s Temple Beth Zion, which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism.

The scholar was arrested by ICE Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Wednesday and agreed to return to Brazil voluntarily to avoid deportation, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

That was intentional. It's not that there is no influence, but as a matter of civilization, the nuts and bolts of living life, aside from authoring what we call the Old Testament, and you probably call the Torah, the way life was conducted in Europe for 2,800 years was not heavily influenced by Judaic cultural or religious day-to-day practices (during the Temple Eras, or post Temple).

That's why I mentioned them as foundational, but not the same level is Greek or Roman. Someone made an interesting point about how the separation between the king and the priests carried on to what we consider the Judiciary now, and that's fair, but our Western Civilization is Christian civilization.

One of the worst takes you will ever see.

2022. Mehdi Hasan and another race-baiter claim that the January 6th pipe bomber has not been caught because the person is white.

According to Hasan, if the bomber had been black or muslim, he would have already been caught.

The Morning Report — 12/5/25

Good morning kids. The big story that broke yesterday was the arrest of a suspect in the placing of pipe bombs at RNC headquarters on 1/6/21. The whole thing would be a Roman farce were we not dealing with a stolen national election and then the attempt to squelch any and all efforts to legally, non-violently protest the certification of that election and then the attempts by the thieves to use it as a pretext to persecute the victims, that is Donald Trump and the American people in the ensuing years.

As some have said, and as time has gone by I have come to agree with them, that Donald Trump and the American people being swindled (and that is way too mild a term) in 2020 in the long term hight have a salutary effect on the body politic political discourse and the trajectory of our society and nation going forward. Certainly the RE-re-election of Trump in 2024 and his subsequent policy successes, and concomitant exposure of the Democrat-Left's insanity in both their policy positions and knee-jerk reflexive Trump Derangement as well as open acts of brazen political terrorism since then will go a long way in putting the American republic back on track. Of course the growing embrace and promotion of Socialism by both the Democrat establishment and most alarmingly larger and larger segments of the population, especially the younger generations, flies in the face of all that.

With the arrest, more than four years after the fact, And by none other than an FBI under the Aegis of the man who supposedly fomented a riot in Washington DC that was more violent than the Civil War, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined, the Democrat Left is already losing its collective mind, what there is of it, over this arrest. Right off the bat, despite the fact that the suspect looks like the DNA of Eddie Murphy's Bowfinger, Todd Bridges and Barack Obama got co-mingled in Bette Midler's gay bath house hot tub and the result was an ectogenetically created Democrat terrorist or FBI stooge hired by Pelosi and Comey as part of their J-6 Reichstag Weenie-Roast "Trump Insurrection" plot. And yet Fake Tapper called him white. As a bonus his alleged parents are big time Democrat donors. Oopsie! (somewhere in hell Josef Goebbels and Baghdad Bob must be laughing their ass off at this stooge)

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast. . . “Today's arrest happened because the Trump Administration has made this case a priority. The total lack of movement on this case in our nation's capital undermined the public trust of our enforcement agencies,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday. “This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI. The FBI, along with US Attorney Pirro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden Junta for four long years.
That storyline is a nightmare for Democrats. For years, the Biden team presided over a Justice Department that had endless resources to track down grandmas in MAGA hats using cell phone data, yet somehow could not close in on the one figure whose actions were used to paint January 6 as an organized terror plot. It’s almost as if they figured out who it was and deliberately chose not to pursue him. But, here’s the big reason that this case will be memory-holed faster than you can say 1984: Brian Cole is black and a leftist. . . Cole did not just happen to lean left. He worked for a bail bond operation run by his father that specialized in freeing illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and even sued Trump’s Department of Homeland Security over immigration policy. Weeks before he allegedly planted the pipe bombs, a court ruled against the family’s company in that lawsuit targeting the Trump administration. . .Later in 2021, Cole’s father appeared at a press event with left-wing attorney Benjamin Crump, angrily criticizing anti-black racism and urging the Biden Justice Department to investigate a Tennessee prosecutor who had expressed concerns about bail bonding practices. They portrayed themselves as victims of systemic bias while also working to weaken enforcement against illegal immigrants, using all the usual leftist buzzwords. This is the environment the alleged bomber emerged from—and the media really wished you never knew that, and will do everything they can to make this story go away.

Funny, just as the Biden-imported Afghan terrorist shooter story as well as the Tim Walz Somali immigrant community billion dollar-plus fraud story is breaking as well as the ongoing illegal alien crime wave as well as the ongoing indigenous American inner city crime wave at the behest and intentional malfeasance of primarily Soros-backed pro crime DAs and politicians continues to decimate and terrorize the citizenry, ironically enough of blue cities and states and Democrat constituencies.

Whatever one thinks about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, the events of 1/6/21 in and around the Capitol were completely staged and or distorted by the Democrats with the aiding and abetting of local law enforcement and elements, including top leadership of our national intelligence and law enforcement agencies. We know for a fact that there were numerous, perhaps at least a couple of dozen FBI plants among the "violent protesters" that roamed the halls of the Capitol as Congress was convening to vote on the Electoral College results. And lest we forget that none of them forced their way in, but were allowed into the building by Capitol PD and in most instances were even escorted around the building by them. There was no rioting or violent except for the brutal murder of two unarmed women, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland by the hands of Capitol PD officers, Michael Byrd gunning down Babbitt in cold blood, and others as yet to the best of my knowledge unidentified who beat and stomped Boyland to death.

And all this was used by Malig-Nancy Pelosi who as Speaker of the House had direct control over the Capitol PD and who prior to 1/6 refused President Trump's request to reinforce them iwht National Guard troops to prevent the violence that she fomented while now shedding crocodile tears over.

Elsewhere, there are a couple of other things happening that I think are worthy of mention that breaking events such as the aforementioned are overtaking. The other day President Trump and the Lee Zeldin directed EPA ditched Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants disastrous luddite CAFE standards

As the White House correctly put it, “The Biden standards would have compelled widespread shifts to EVs that American consumers did not ask for, accompanied by significant cost-of-living increases. Since EVs are so expensive to build, automakers must sell them at a loss and make up the difference by significantly raising the sticker price of gas cars.”
As a refresher, the CAFE standards came into being during the 1970s energy crisis – a crisis itself caused by inept government regulations. The standards require the fleet of cars sold by a manufacturer to meet government-dictated average fuel-economy targets, or face hefty annual fines. . .
. . . From the beginning, these standards were a disaster, forcing automakers to radically downsize their fleet, which research showed cost thousands of lives because, all things being equal, smaller, lighter cars are less safe than larger ones.
They also resulted in cars being stripped of anything that added weight – including spare tires –dreary designs that only a socialist could love, and stuffed with hated features such as the “start-stop” system.
But the administration’s move, while welcome, isn’t as big a deal as it might seem. After all, the best solution would be to jettison CAFE standards entirely, not ratchet them up more slowly. The justification for these standards – an energy crisis – is long gone, and the government simply has no business dictating what kind of cars, or how many of each kind, automakers must sell.

BINGO that last sentence. It's all about the freedom to choose. Beyond the insanity of EVs, the enviro commies were making war on SUV's for the same bullshit reasons of saving the planet because fossil fuels were evil. Forgetting all that, what the communists want is to take away your freedom of movement period, regardless of what kind of vehicle you may or may not be allowed to drive, or what they will or will not allow to be manufactured. Freedom of movement as where and when you want is freedom of choice.

Bravo President Trump. Of course should God-Forbid another Democrat let alone possibly a hardcore Maoist ever assume power again, all this could and likely will go away and once again
again we'd be subject to the whims of DIck Nixon's worst crime — creating the EPA.

Funny I seem to remember way back when when Obama crowed that Bin Laden is dead and that GM is alive. But in order to supposedly resuscitate GM he committed an act of robbery so brazen as to beggar the imagination: Robbing GM's stockholders!
Correction, per commenter r hennigantx, he robbed the first-in-line bondholders!! Meh, he did it to bail out the UAW right before the 2012 election.

On that note, we had this story that broke the other day which although has a happy ending, falls way short in what the Left crows about "restorative Justice!" And I use that term sarcastically, but justice is still a long way off:

The Obama administration introduced many Americans to the character of his Chicago-style politics -- cronyism, favoritism, and corruption.
And though there's been a political change of course, the awful consequences of that for some workers linger.
One of them is elderly Vietnam War veteran Ed Bambas, who's now 88, working at the Meijer grocery chain in Brighton, Michigan, trying to get by without a pension, having lost his in Barack Obama's multi-billion-dollar GM and Chrysler bailouts, which were all about favoritism for union members at the expense of everyone else.
He was recently seen on social media answering questions from an 'influencer' about his dire condition -- a very old man forced to work retail without any retirement benefits despite years of work for Delphi, a GM-affiliated company that went down in the automobile-industry meltdown around the start of Obama's first term.
He got his pension pulled as the taxpayers shelled out $80 billion for GM and Chrysler. He also lost medical coverage and most of his life insurance, at a time when his wife was in the hospital. He sold his house to pay her medical bills and was left with nothing.
He may be in for a happier ending, now that the influencer, Samuel Weidenhofer, has raised a $1.5 million pension for him, from small-dollar donations, mostly little guys who see this problem resonating. (Bill Ackman, who may be the well-regarded hedge fund manager, is listed as the top donor at $10,000.) . . .
. . . It's good for him, given that he had an unusual run of cruelly bad luck. . . But the obvious question is how many more out there are like him?
Based on what I found, there were about 20,000 of them, and treated just as badly as Bambas was.
In a stunning example of favoritism, the United Auto Workers union members got their pensions topped up to the max by the taxpayers based on the Obama administration's illegal interference -- and anyone who wasn't in the union, such as the workers at Delphi, got stiffed, despite all of them working for the same automobile behemoth.

And of course, the Left is gunning for Hegseth because he's effective as a military leader, restoring sanity to our military, the last bastion of Americanism that the Left has tried to tear down, and declare him a war criminal in order to protect their Communist drug running allies in central and South America. If Hegseth can weather these storms and continue to succeed in helping smash Narco and perhaps Islamo-terrorists while restoring pride in our military as the massive gains in recruitment have indicated, then he burnishes his credentials as a potential GOP presidential candidate if not in 2028 then perhaps '32 or '36! We should live so long (and see it happen!)

Have a great weekend.

Somehow they think impeaching Hegseth will 1) go anywhere and 2) win the public to the side of ... narco-terrorists?

But remember, these are all the same people that were 100% sure that, once the public heard the evidence, that "8 times Trump asked Ukraine to manufacture evidence on Biden" ...
And then, once the public saw their truth about J6 ...
And then, once the public saw Trump convicted of felonies ....

So, you know, impeccable track record of success.

JJ I must beg to differ. He robbed the rightful first in line Bondholders. Somewhere around $10 Billion. Next he allow the Pension Fund to be included in the Chapter 11 but DID NOT force GM to buying into the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp. Saving another $5 Billion or so.

He is due benefits and hopefully someone has got him on the track to receive those.

Oh wait, not Trump:
A new book on the 2012 presidential campaign claims that President Barack Obama told aides that he is "really good at killing people."

According to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the authors of Double Down: Game Change 2012, Obama made the comment while discussing drone strikes last year. CNN's Peter Hamby noted the anecdote in his review of the book for the Washington Post. . .

The quote comes in the context of both the drone program and the killing of Osama bin Laden by a special forces strike force. The passage also specifically references the death of another al Qaeda leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a CIA drone strike in Yemen on Sept. 30, 2011.

Neither wish the current status quo to change. We, us here, have a pretty good idea how bad the corruption is in government. Most of the public doesn't.

If the Republicans retain a majority Trump stands a reasonable chance of making inroads to deal with the corruption. This is basically messing with the political establishment's livelihood.

133 The most long-lasting part of the ruling yesterday is the emphasis on the requirement that those challenging maps "disentangle" race from the issue.

That is, it can't be called racist just because it involves race and that some people of that race don't like the outcome--they have to prove a similar (and Constitutional) outcome could have been achieved that isn't racist.
Or: If you say it's racist, show us how you would have done it.

Why that looms larger than the left realizes is, it's telegraphing the majority-minority district ruling.
And the CA districting ruling.

The left is going to be howling mad.
And their legal experts will have no clue why the CA districting is different--and unconstitutional--from the TX districting.
That is, seeking to increase partisan advantage is not the same as seeking to increase Hispanic representation.

134 Hegseth had been hated from the start by those profiting from the military-industrial complex, since he’s from outside the system. The joke at the time of his confirmation) which was also the truth was “How can he be Defense Secretary, he’s never even been to a Raytheon luncheon!”

But now there’s another factor I strongly suspect; I believe a whole lot of “respectable people” in this country are taking money from the drug cartels, especially among Democrat officeholders, and if Maduro is broken that whole game will fall apart.
I think Maduro’s regime is about to crack up, and the people on the payroll are scared he’s really going to do it.

You can sense the absolute desperation in their attempts to stop the pressure on the cartels - this isn’t just ordinary leftist opposition, there’s big money behind these attacks, and they’ve got a lot of supporters still inside the military.

I would hope things will turn out that way - but what I suspect is that the Court is so sick of these redistricting fights that they’re going to rule that any State can redistrict any way it wants for any reason and the Courts will have no say in whatever they decide to do.
Which would be going back to a pre-Warren Court view on the matter.

170 165 Strangely, one of the things that may gum up the works for this deal is one of the dumbest : Professional Wrestling.

Netflix has the streaming rights to WWE. HBO Max (WBD) has the streaming rights to their competitor, AEW (through 2027).

Both will not be able to (nor want to) exist under the same roof.

Especially since UFC (WWE's Sister Company under TKO Holdings)'s streaming rights belong to Paramount/Skydance.

This would be like Fox spinning off its TV news division to allow the purchase of the parent company by Disney a decade back. Wrestling gets spun off, Netflix buys WB.

IIRC, she had immediate family who were openly Trump supporters, and the entertainment media tried to shame her about it, got fans to demand she denounce them -- then she didn't.

The entertainment media harassed Taylor Swift for years for not being political, claimed she was a secret Aryan princess to all her Nazi fans (seriously). She gave in to the demands that she get involved -- for the "correct" side -- and went full progressive.

Well, in this case, the streaming services don't own the companies involved, just their Streaming Rights (and in the case of WBD, also AEW's TV Rights).

Another company wouldn't get spun off, because they don't own the company in the first place.

Maybe they'd be forced to sell off the TV/Streaming rights, but this isn't like WCW, where Time Warner owned the company outright.

But I suppose that leads to something like trying to blend something that's too thick... you get a furious liquified mess at the bottom, while the rest of it hovers above the void blissfully undisturbed and not at all doing what you want it to do.

It is a big worry.
Because the election seasons are longer and start earlier.
The traditional mid to late-summer start has been dead for a decade or longer.
Yet, the GOPe ... bitterly clings to that old thinking.

Meanwhile, you see the Dems already in full swing for the first steps of their fall campaign:
- Hegseth impeachment to stretch into March; building on their "lawless Trump" who must be stopped narrative
- made up health care crisis January to June; GOP don't care about the poor
- Budget fights March to July; GOP won't give Americans freebies
- and their ace, Powell's slow burn to kill the economy, or at least retard any growth until September.

And the only one who seems interested in staging anything to build the R narrative is ... Trump.

And yes, this midterm is for all the marbles.

307 But now there’s another factor I strongly suspect; I believe a whole lot of “respectable people” in this country are taking money from the drug cartels, especially among Democrat officeholders, and if Maduro is broken that whole game will fall apart.
I think Maduro’s regime is about to crack up, and the people on the payroll are scared he’s really going to do it.

You can sense the absolute desperation in their attempts to stop the pressure on the cartels - this isn’t just ordinary leftist opposition, there’s big money behind these attacks, and they’ve got a lot of supporters still inside the military.

Transnistria, on the left bank of the Dniester, has operated for more than three decades as a de facto entity sustained politically, militarily and economically by Moscow since the 1992 conflict. The renewed focus on reintegration comes as Chișinău accelerates its EU accession efforts and seeks stronger Western backing for its security and state consolidation agenda.

It ends, "(Jack) Smith recently said he wanted to publicly testify about his investigation, but House Republicans rejected his request, instead planning to interview him behind closed doors on Dec. 17."

So revealed in a day for the Brian J. Cole, Sr. family - federal charges against Jr.; former TN business lawsuits; an illustrious civil rights attorney, and Jack Smith.

As expected, AMD has announced price increases for its Radeon graphics cards. Starting today, the cost to board partners of the parts (GPU chip and GDDR6 RAM) will increased by $10. (Tom's Hardware)

For 8GB cards. For 16GB cards the cost rises by $20.

Given the craziness going on right now, that is not a lot.

There may be more increases coming, but for now at least, no reason to panic.

XKCD comic 2347 highlighted a key weakness of modern computer systems: Everything depends on "a project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003".

Stacktower is a Python library that inspects your own tech stack and draws a similar diagram and highlights the individual thankless maintainers, so that you can thank them.

Earlier this year, home goods maker Kohler launched a smart camera called the Dekoda that attaches to your toilet bowl, takes pictures of it, and analyzes the images to advise you on your gut health.
I can see where this is going to end.
The security researcher also pointed out that given Kohler can access customers' data on its servers, it's possible Kohler is using customers' bowl pictures to train AI.
Why?
Citing another response from the company representative, the researcher was told that Kohler's "algorithms are trained on de-identified data only."
No.
The Dekoda costs $599 plus a mandatory subscription of at least $6.99 per month.
It's even cheaper if you don't buy it.
Russia has banned Roblox. (CBC)
On Wednesday, Roskomnadzor blocked access to the U.S. children's gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of distributing extremist materials and "LGBT propaganda." Roskomnadzor further said Roblox was "rife with inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children."
Well, yes.

52 My 9070 XT arrived on Tuesday.
I can't really complain about them raising prices because I've already paid $10 more than the new suggested MSRP of $619.
The article says AMD will probably raise prices again in January so I guess it'll go up to $629 by then.

But AIB partners will certainly add another 10% to their pwn prices so you'll probably be paying $639 for the cheapest model by February.

"Examining your poop is a valuable, non-invasive way to monitor your digestive and overall health, as it provides daily clues about your body's functioning. Changes in stool shape, color, consistency, frequency, and smell can signal normal variations or indicate underlying health issues, prompting timely medical evaluation when necessary."

It's not the most ergonomic thing, but the touch feature is awesome.

Now if we could only get Apple to put the USB port on the front/back of the mouse instead of right in the center of the bottom of it.

220 also:

USAGE
The words hoard and horde have some similarities in meaning and are pronounced the same, so it is unsurprising that they are sometimes confused. A hoard is ‘a secret stock or store of something,’ as in ‘a hoard of treasure’, while a horde is a disparaging word for ‘a large group of people,’ as in ‘hordes of fans descended on the stage’.

Instances of hoard being used instead of horde are not uncommon: around a quarter of citations for hoard in the Oxford English Corpus are for the incorrect use

FTFY.

When the open source movement first got started, I noted that absent a profit motive the whole thing was neither sustainable nor likely to produce quality over the long term, and I think I've been proven right. It did take longer than I thought, but the fact that it turns out large swathes of the open source ecosystem were being funded by USAid black budget money kind of explains that.

Close Call!

Thai Woman Found Alive in Coffin Moments Before Cremation

A 65-year-old Thai woman stunned temple staff at a Buddhist temple near Bangkok after she was found alive inside a coffin just before her scheduled cremation.
The incident occurred at Wat Rat Prakhong Tham in Nonthaburi province, where a video posted to the temple’s Facebook page showed the woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck. Temple workers were shocked when they noticed movement—her arms and head subtly shifting.
Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told the Associated Press that the woman had been brought from Phitsanulok province by her brother. He said the Thai woman had been bedridden for two years and appeared to have stopped breathing two days earlier.
The brother, assuming she had died, placed her in a coffin and drove approximately 500 kilometers to Bangkok, intending to donate her organs as per her earlier wish. However, a hospital declined to accept the body due to the lack of an official death certificate.

Emphasis mine. This must be the Thailand equivalent of a "Florida Man" story.

Oh, you were looking for something else about animals and alcohol? Got ya covered!

Wild chimps consume more alcohol than anyone expected

Date: December 1, 2025
Source: University of California - Berkeley
Summary: Chimpanzees naturally ingest surprising amounts of alcohol from ripe, fermenting fruit. Careful measurements show that their typical fruit diet can equal one to two human drinks each day. This supports the idea that alcohol exposure is not a modern human invention but an ancient primate habit. The work strengthens the “drunken monkey” hypothesis and opens new questions about how animals use ethanol cues in their environment.

This might be a repeat story from a previous ONT of mine. Not sure. I don't read my content.

#1 Which I learned by watching someone else.
Never date a stripper.

The same reason Trump couldn't just outright shut stuff down - it is in statute.

However, the regulatory agencies have authority to set various requirements, so Trump is using that authority to de facto eliminate it.

I had a roommate who was a bouncer at a strip club. He wasn’t Tom Cruise by any stretch but he could pull some tail. Proximity is its own reward. Problem was he couldn’t stay awake at work, and the Army expects people to work.

He’d go down to the motor pool and get a creeper and then get under a truck. Tangle his arms up under the engine like he was working on something. Someone walking by, it looked like he was doing repairs or maintenance.

154 AH Lloyd I sort of assumed that re CAFE, but am further assuming that (as with the fee for Class III firearms permits) the regulators could reduce the standard to, effectively, zero. Of course manufacturers could be wary, in the event of calamity in 2028 (i.e. return to totalitarian racist retard rule). But imports could flow in.

I have only seen references and brief snippets on it, but seems that Trump did something that would, inter alia, make importation of Hiluxes possible. Hope so, though I'm not a likely buyer. Just curious why that vehicle was effectively banned. For years I have seen, online, people (justifiably, I'd guess) whining about that situation.

155 What happens when you divide by zero on a mechanical 1950s calculator?

I usually post stuff like this on the hobby thread, but - we had a TRS-80 when I was a kid. When I was ten I recalled there was a square-root program in the Basic book when Extended Basic had the SQR() function, which wouldn't allow SQR(-1).
I vaguely knew that SQR(-1) wasn't a thing. (I didn't know about the Imaginary plane of i.)
So I tried running the Basic square-root program. (I didn't know about calculus or Newton then, either. Or the concept of convergence.)
It just kept running and running without any conclusion.
This is why they don't let ten year olds code, I guess.

I understand it, but I don’t know if I can explain it well. It has to with CAFE standards and the way large trucks are legislatively treated differently than cars and small trucks. The formulas are complicated, but short story it was far more profitable to build large expensive trucks than small, and it helped satisfy fleet CAFE standards as well. (Only because of bad legislation). Foreign companies stopped importing them because there’s been a 25% “chicken tarriff” on all small trucks. (And that was long before Trump)

So he has now wiped all that away. Small trucks can be imported and sold again. Personally, I had a couple in the 80’s and 90’s and lovec them.

Absolutely. At my old house the people next door were, um, prescription drug junkies on disability. The lady of the house was a nasty person. I just ignored her. I smiled and waved in passing, but avoided getting into any kind of conversation with her. The woman a few houses down was a lesbian, apparently batshit crazy. A few years after I moved they were all in the news because they had gotten into one of those ongoing feuds, and the lesbian stabbed the junkies to death. She stabbed them something like fifty times.

Most of them will do coffee or green tea if you want, as well.

For extra credit, explain why "CAFE" standards are not just eliminated, instead of tweaked/lowered?
Posted by: rhomboid at December 04, 2025 10:25 PM (U/Byj)

CAFE standard declare the mpg allowed for all the vehicles manufactured by a manufacturer and sold in the US. At the moment the vehicles outside of that size are the size of an old F-350 or bigger.

CAFE standards were initially meant to help resolve the 1973 OPEC price hike and peak oil, now they are to push EVs. For reasons.

"No. Consumers didn't wake up one day and decide they didn't want a 2 seater pickup that got 25 mpg and told Ford marketing surveys they want massive trucks that feel like your driving a Boeing 737. Those trucks were regulated out of existence by accelerated CAFE standards under democrats who literally wanted to regulate the ICE out of the market"

"The Toyota Helux Champ will soon be on the American market! It’s a light-duty, basic pickup truck that will likely sell for less than $20k. Until today, U.S. regulations made it impossible to sell in our markets"

and positive comments about the Hilux Champ:

Here are 5 great points about the Toyota Hilux Champ:
1) Starts at just ~$13,000 USD – insanely affordable for a brand-new Toyota truck.
2) Tough 2.0L/2.7L petrol or 2.4L diesel engines with proven Hilux durability.
3) Ladder-frame chassis, rear-wheel drive, and high ground clearance – built for real work and off-road.
4) Super modular: flatbed, camper, food truck, or mini-RV conversions are easy and factory-supported.
5) Legendary Toyota reliability + huge parts network worldwide – it will outlast almost anything in its price range

further, you can buy them for ready cash in Colombia with a diesel engine, and I am pissed about this. F___ing Colombia

I thought Trump did away with the incandescent ban back in his first administration. Also low-flow in shower heads and appliances.

Problem with all these kinds of things is,

1 First, government bans (or overtaxes) something, the manufacturers go out of business, move overseas, or at best re-tool.

2. Then the other party gets in, and even with good incentives, they have to start up those factories, coal mines, and nuke plants from scratch, build the incandescent market back up, rejigger all the toilets, whatever.

3. Then the regulator party gets back in and the cycle starts over (jump to 1).

Not worth it. Which is why we need to completely and permanently eradicate the whole attitude about regulatory government - yeah, sure. 🙄

Tim Walz called it a slur (retard) that should never be repeated. Now, he hears it all day.

The Minnesota governor, on Thursday, Dec. 4, said people have been driving by his home and screaming the retard-slur — a word used to malign those with intellectual disabilities — since President Donald Trump called him that in a social media post last week.

“This creates danger,” the embattled governor said, discussing Republican rhetoric. “… I’ve never seen this before: people driving by my house and using the R-word in front of people. This is shameful, and I have yet to see an elected official — a Republican elected official — say you’re right, that’s shameful.”

Maybe it's time to revisit the Gyrojet action for light machine guns. No recoil, because each projectile is a tiny rocket. No rifling needed, because the rocket jets are tangential, imparting spin. Gun would be very cheap to build. The drawbacks to Gyrojet were low velocity at short range, and poor accuracy. AS a pintle-mounted machinegun, neither of those would very important. Main use would be dealing with mobs.

I'm thinking of switching to LED lights. The problem is there's 30 frigging years of hallmark star trek and star wars ornaments that are powered by removing a bulb from the strand and plugging it in. If I can't remove single bulbs from the strings I'm screwed, and I'm not sure the LED ones work that way. For years I kept thinking about making them their own dedicated harness from 1 single light string, but every year we added more ornaments. The more recent ornaments don't get plugged in anymore and have their own batteries, which is stupid because they don't stay on until you turn them on individually, then they turn off by themselves in like 20 seconds, which makes them frigging worthless as a tree ornament. The only upside is I'm now working with a finite number of "plug in" ornaments and can make the harness.

400 Not sure how LED string lights work. Individual LED's nominally work at 4.5 volts DC. You can string them in series to take a higher DC voltage, but if one draws a bit more juice than the others, the voltage doesn't apportion well, and something will burn out. Maybe the string lights get away with it because they are so low-powered?

I have nothing against developmentally disabled people. I had a cousin who had Down's Syndrome. But in fairness to Donald Trump, Walz looks like he's retarded.

That's some scary shit.

Burning Christmas trees after they were disposed of was a dangerous kick we used to get as kids. They would go up like a match.

404 Don't know much about the newer LED stuff, but the old mini-lights had touchy-tweaky little wires and sometimes just barely made contact in their sockets. Guess I was the only one what was patient enough to check the bad strings, light by light.

Posted by: JQ at December 04, 2025 11:54 PM (rdVOm)

yeah, this is why the tree takes 3 days. You have to unbox the start trek ornament, pull a bulb, plug in the ornament, make sure it makes contact in the socket so the string don't die, then put the bulb in the ornament box so you know where it is. then to take the tree down you have to leave the lights on as you unplug each ornament, then replace the bulb to make sure the light string lights back up. You get to do this for at 50 frigging ornaments. I swear, I'm tempted to go all kinds of goldfinger, cut a circular hole in the floor, install a hydraulic platform, push a button at my desk and a fully decorated tree appears from the frigging basement.

LED lights are worth the trouble. I got rid of a bunch of Hallmark ornaments this year. The ones that played music were all battery powered. They were fun, but I was ready to pass them on. I have too many ornaments, lol.

Waaay ahead of you, Disco! I already draped a bunch of lights behind the bar & over the big mirror. Got a nice big wreath and more lights over the fireplace.

Elf on the shelf is on the cash register for now, but will be placed back in the box on Caturday Nights-- "What happens in ClubONT, *stays* in ClubONT" of course.

There's shiny garland around the main bar area & a 10ft noble fir just inside the entryway, decked out with bubble lights, guitar lights, multi-colored mini-lights and ornaments Club customers have brought in.

Stop by and check it out!

But I'll still untangle and check your silly pile of lights, because I love Christmas.

One year my Dad bought a huge tree. It was so big he had to tie a rope around it and he ran the rope into the bathroom.

417 Four seasons,
Sorry that Qdpsteve told you that on the gun thread, must have missed it but that is well beyond the pale of acceptable behavior.

Some type of people get furious about criticism and apparent rejection and pop off. Then escalate when called out on it. Think Jim SND had a similar experience over the same guy wanting to set up stakes card games or somewhat at a momeet. Jim was a gentleman but finally went nuclear which was awesome in the same way a mushroom cloud occurs after a large explosion leaves the target incinerated. Scary but a thing of beauty at the same time.

AOP tried to warn Qdpsteve repeatedly about skating on thin ice but some people can't take a hint I guess.

Sorry again it happened and I missed it or I would have said something at the time. Have a good evening.

424 Mom told me, that the first Christmas after she & Dad were married-- they spent the holiday at Grandma's house (Dad's widowed mother) and set up her tree with the old-style candle holders.

Grandma put the little candles on, and they lit the tree. Let them burn for just a minute and extinguished all.

Mom said it was truly enchanting to see! And oh, so very dangerous. But she treasured that memory & wished they had a camera then, even though it likely would not have captured the totality of awesomeness.

439 When I was a yute a person could buy a permit from the park service and go into the national forest and cut down one tree and bring it back home. (I’m sure that’s not allowed any more). One year my dad got such a permit and we drove up near Flagstaff to find and capture the perfect Christmas Tree. It was a lot of fun, we didn’t see snow often at all, and I remember sliding down an icy hill with no board, just my pants, and catching a hidden rock with my crotch halfway down. Good times, good times.
Of course Dad did a Griswold and tied a tree onto the roof that was longer than the car, and we drove two hours back that way. And my mom just looked at him when he finally had to face the puzzle of how to get a 14 foot tree through an 8 foot door.
It was a lovely tree, though.

I remember "helping" him build it (simple menial stuff that needed doing).

These were the days when M1s were in barrels at the gun store for probably $70 or something. And as 8th graders we would walk down a main street to a quarry to shoot a Springfield rifle, zero notice or interest by anyone. As they say nowadays, a proper country.

485 We had a box turtle that would come up to the back.porch and eat with the cat. He came up for years. I loved seeing him. Then we moved away, in the winter when he was hibernating. I still miss that turtle.

Speaking of turtles, have you followed the Franklin the Turtle "scandal"? Seems Pete Hegseth posted a meme of Franklin standing in the open door of a chopper, firing a bazooka at some drug boats. That has all the Usual Suspects up in arms.

Enjoy it, the Moon won't be this high again for another 18.6 years.

I say "high". What this means is the Moon's orbital plane is at it's highest inclination with respect to earth's equatorial plane. This is the "nodal precession" cycle, causing the Moon's inclination to alternately add and subtract from the earth's axial tilt.

Anyway, last summer, the full Moon was about as low in the sky as it can get. When that tilt is high, the full Moon can take it's extremes of altitude in the local sky.

Ha! I am on a quest to have the world’s best trained Shiba, which as you know is not a high bar. But he is very good on the leash, he heels until he is told he can break, he sits when I stop, he waits until I tell him to go through the door, he knows down, place (which still needs work), but his recall off leash remains nonexistent. It’s so funny they all have a no return policy. Crazy dogs.

When they're little calves, like the two dozen or so recently born here, they run and play like cute dogs.

Which is always ironically amusing, considering how after a short while, they don't run and play anymore.

But last month, when a mama cow and several calves walked across the cattle guard into the living area, and we went out in the little red pick-em-up to herd them back, mama at one point got to jump and run surprisingly lively. Livelyly?

But if you don't think bulls can jump, visit a rodeo.

I had a manager who decided to make the team do their own individual performance reviews.

I put down "exceptional" in every spot, except for "following instructions and performing duties" which I put the second highest rating.

I think management started to wince when they handed out stuff like that to me. I tended to start free associating until I ran out of time, patience or room in the boxes.

One "confidential information training" module we did had us give feedback, and I started giving "bad Amazon Reviews". It took them 7 months before they gave me a reprimand for wasting time.

Carlo Cipolla wrote a treaties on The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, and divided the world into the Helpless, the Intelligent, The Stupid and The Bandits, The Bandits are divided further into the ones who's gain is greater than the damage they cause others, and the ones who destroy only for their own minimal gain.

"How the wind howls!"

One of Peter Jackson's many crimes in his Lord of the Rings adaptation was leaving out the night battle with the wolves near Moria. That was the first time you got to see the Fellowship in action, and the fact that the wolves were phantoms made it legit creepy.

But he needed more time for jumping game footage in Moria and dumb dwarf jokes and Aragorn flirting with Eowyn and falling off a cliff.

One of my friends from high school is a transplant in Texas and he likes the culture and conservatism vs Michigan, but he's not a fan of the climate. He said that Michigan is constantly changing, and while it has crap weather, it also has really gorgeous weather, and the year feels like a progression.

In Texas it's always yellow, and the only marker is blossoms in the spring. And the heat.

The easiest way to beat the Chinese would be to just buy up all the fuel on the black market near the military bases. Everything staged would get stolen and there's no vroom vroom to go with the boom boom. As I understand it military wise, stuff that just sits there is easier to deal with.

I was deployed to NOLA in June/July 2010 for the oil spill no one talks about anymore. Weird.

Anyhow, 100 percent humidity every day with a high of 82 and a low of 82 was beyond my experience. Walk outside and your soaked in sweat. Oh, it's raining? No real difference. There was one day when it cooled off and I got to walk through the French Quarter and see the Cathedral and stuff, but mostly miserable.

Considering the whole of Texas, I think the zone between Austin and San Antonio is probably the best climate in the entire state. Don't get the hurricanes, next to no ice or snow, tornados nothing like the north half. Fairly predictable weather year-round.

OTOH, East Texas around Gilmer / Longview has "seasons", its generally cooler, but that means nothing because of the humidity is downright oppressive.

But I have A/C everywhere and its only August/September when its too oppressive to go on bicycle rides or run.

The limestone lakes in the Hill Country are fairly clear compared to the murk in ETX. But ETX has the water and the trees so I like it here better than anywhere else in the State.

For a lark during the winter of '92, I rode my bike through the snow from Case to Wells Hall for my German class. Not only that, I wore shorts (with thermal boxers, tho).

Kind of freaked out the class once the snow melted off my legs. It was fine, the only issue being that the fluid in my joins began to congeal, making pedaling more sluggish. Very peculiar sensation.

Supreme Court Okays Texas' Redistricting Map

Thank goodness.

California just amended its constitution to permit Gavin Newsom to redraw that state's map for maximum partisan advantage. Meanwhile, left-wing judges insist that Republicans aren't allowed to do the same, Because Racist.

The Supreme Court "took note" of California's similar manuever and decided, by 6 to 3, that no, it's not (D)ifferent when (D)emocrats do it any longer.

The Supreme Court said Thursday that Texas can use its new gerrymandered House map in the upcoming midterm elections, likely yielding as many as five additional seats for Republicans in the battle for control of the House.
...
By an apparent 6-3 vote, the justices granted an emergency request from Texas officials to block a lower court ruling that The court's high ruling also took note of recent Democrat-led redistricting in California, signaling that the justices may not be inclined to interfere with those efforts or similar drives in other states.

I think this means the Supreme Court will finally overturn the leftwing-judge-made "law" that states are required to use racial criteria to maximize minority "representation."

7 If Pennsylvania eventually gets a Republican Governor, they can do the same. Currently the Republicans control the State Senate and the Higher Legislature as well as the AG.

14 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

66 The statement that Prop 50 was amended IS NOT CORRECT.

AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN
RESPONSE TO TEXAS' PARTISAN REDISTRICTING. LEGISLATIVE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Requires temporary use of new congressional district
maps through 2030. Directs independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to resume enacting
congressional district maps in 2031. Establishes policy supporting nonpartisan redistricting
commissions nationwide. Fiscal Impact: One-time costs to counties of up to a few million
dollars statewide to update election materials to reflect new congressional district maps.

This is what was on the ballot. This is what was voted on. It pretty clearly states it is not amending the Constitution, but ignoring it. Yes, they use legislative slight of hand to try to gloss over the blatant unconstitutional power grab... but the wording on the BALLOT is what was voted on, which allows the legislature to ignore the Calif. Constitution.

The white represents the snow, or the sparkle of snow when light hit it, or so they tell me anyway. Yeah, it can be overdone though. I use both white and colored lights, especially on the tree. The white for the brightness, and the color for the color. Works great, almost like colored lights on a tree with snow. At the old house I used white and red outside on the light post out front for that candy cane thing. This house has the columns under the gable by the front door, and that will get the same treatment IF I can get the outside outlets installed in time. Nothing but white though, yeah thats a bit sterile, but I have seen it done pretty nice.

107 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

She will lose by 9, and people will credit the panic to Paxton's win, not the fact that sassy black women don't play well with Hispanics in general.

A Refugee Group Was Repeatedly Warned That the Killer of the National Guardswoman Was "Spiraling" Into "Mania," But No Official Action Seems to Have Been Taken

A refugee group was repeatedly warned that the National Guardsmen assassin was "spiraling" into mental illness but apparently no law enforcement or immigration courts were alerted.

A leading national refugee agency was warned multiple times that the Afghan terror suspect accused of murdering one National Guard member and critically injuring another was spiraling into mania and mental illness beginning in 2023, according to a bombshell email leak.
Despite this, and an alleged failure to maintain his mandated contact with state social services, he still managed to win asylum in April of this year.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal's behavior was so disturbing that a local community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, according to emails to the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) seen by the Associated Press.
"Rahmanullah has not been functional as a person, father, and provider since March of last year [2023]. He quit his job that month, and his behavior has changed greatly," the community member wrote in January 2024.
The community member said he feared that Lakanwal had become suicidal.

...
He was brought to the US in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, moving to Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and their five young sons.
But he reportedly struggled to assimilate, failed to hold down a steady job or commit to learning English, according to the emails.
Alternating between "periods of dark isolation and reckless travel," Lakanwal sometimes spent weeks in his "darkened room, not speaking to anyone, not even his wife or older kids," the person wrote.
During these "manic episodes," he would reportedly "take off in the family car, and drive nonstop," the email outlined, leaving for up to two weeks at a time on his own, driving as far as Chicago or Arizona.
Lakanwal also failed to stay in contact with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) as was mandated by the terms of his entry into the US, except for "interim" weeks where he would "do the right things," according to the emails.

And I guess Washington State didn't alert anyone, either.

He was so depressed that the community member feared he would harm himself, according to the emails.
When his wife would leave him with the kids for a week while she traveled to visit relatives, his children would go to school unwashed and in dirty clothes without having eaten well, according to the person.
The children's school raised concerns about his behavior, and the family even faced eviction at one point in 2023 after months of not paying rent.
In response to two emails, the USCRI tried to visit Lakanwal and his family in Bellingham in March 2024, according to the author of the emails.
After they received no updates, they believed that Lakanwal had refused assistance.
It's unclear whether the community member or USCRI reported the mental distress to immigration authorities or law enforcement.

Trump announced another step to control immigration: work permits will only be issued for 18 months at a time, instead of the five years they're currently issued for.

That means that fraudsters will have to interact with government officials more often, and hopefully more fraud will be discovered and more badly-behaving "asylum seekers" will be kicked out.

The Trump administration is dramatically scaling back the timeframe in which asylum seekers and other foreign nationals can have valid work permits in the U.S.
Work permits issued to foreign nationals who�ve applied for asylum or other humanitarian programs will only be valid for 18 months rather than five years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Thursday. The decision marks the latest action by the agency tasked with managing the country�s immigration system, since two National Guard members were ambushed by an Afghan man shortly before Thanksgiving.

I have a Pakistani coworker who HATES Afghans. She constantly talks about their brutality and how Pakistan deported them en masse and put up massive border walls to keep them out.

I don't think Afghans need brainwashing. They are just so medieval that they go nuts outside of a their natural goat-infested habit. That and they are expected to not murder people on a regular basis. Read "The Great Game" by Peter Hopkirk to see how bloodthirsty and duplicitous these people were and are.

35 A refugee group was repeatedly warned that the National Guardsmen assassin was "spiraling" into mental illness but apparently no law enforcement or immigration courts were alerted."

Why would anyone expect anything different? That murderer was part of the "tribe" and they protect members of the tribe against anyone not in the tribe.

The middle east and south east asia are for the most part tribal based. If you are not part of the tribe you are either an enemy or a potential victim.

So new rule going into the next year is I'm not allowed to save as much in my 401K and even catch up is penalized, limited. Because I just have it too f'ing good. MFers. All of them. I drive a shit car, I never vacation, all my money goes to my family, I'm the only earner, I pay for private school because schools in GA suck. So once again I'm screwed. I knew this was coming and read about it earlier. But these sobs. Pisses the hell out of me.

I suspect the three agreed Kagan should do it because she would sound the most reasoned.

Alito's concurrence is great, though. It's three paragraphs, essentially says, "The dissent is real stupid, but in the interest of time, I'm just gonna say two things: The map is partisan, not racial, and the dissent doesn't even dispute that. The lower courts just didn't do things right."

Fair.

But, more seriously, Jackson has written solo-dissents before. She could have here, but it was about Hispanics, so I guess she just didn't have the fire in her belly for it. So, that should mean Sotomayor would jump at it, but I bet Kagan said she'd only sign onto the dissent if she wrote it alone and not Sotomayor. She wasn't going to sign onto 55 pages of "Texas hates Hispanics and are trying to murder them."

It was specific to racial questions brought up in the TX map. Essentially, TX drew out rural Hispanics into districts, rural Hispanics who tend to vote Republican, and this was a racial gerrymander or something.

I'm sure FL will see its own separate legal challenges, but with Gingles most likely being overturned with the LA case and maybe even Section 2 dying, any lawsuit there will die quickly.

173 Ya know, I have to dust off Ayaan Hirsi Ali's autobiography again because Im sure there's a section about when she first moved to The Netherlands was and was bewildered at how neat and clean and law-abiding and orderly it was. Every Muslim is taught that Islam is the true path, believers are naturally superior and rejecting Islam means society ends up in darkness and chaos. But she (and others like her she noted) had to flee to an infidel country and it was obviously far superior to their native shitholes and alot of Muslims just couldn't handle it mentally. Being confronted with their own obvious inferiority broke something in a lot of them. With her it made her realize Islam is bullshit. Others retreated into delusion or lashed out violently.

'70s, colored lights - the 15W bulbs that with enough strings, the circuit breaker would blow.

80's, white bulbs, by the thousands thrown up into the very large live oak trees

90's-'10's, nothing.

15'-'20, laser light show

'21-∞, nothing

78 I like both types of lights. We have white, because I have fake trees, and the brand I bought back in the day only came with white ones. They are certainly very tasteful. The next tree I get will have both options. Sometimes you want that festive look. And yes, grew up working class, if not actually poor by some standards. Didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing til I was 10, in 73. Didn't feel poor at all.

I'd love to find some of the big, old school lights. You can buy newer versions, but t g e old ones look better, if you can find them.

121 When I grew up, real lights were colored. They required work to maintain and clip to tree (they were heavier)

The white lights came when the cheap LED came out. Because they were cheap people could buy and use more, and they looked "elegant" but they were a convenience and not a luxury.

Ace may see them as "upper class," but they were for people who didn't want to spend the time and effort, so they were fake and cheap. You could wrap them around a tree in minutes without clipping.

It is like saying "do you like crocs or handmade leather shoes?"

128 Okay, Christmas tree lights. Long ago (galaxy far far away), my aunt would do a beautifully decorated tree with mostly white lights, and a few blue lights to accent. Some evil nephew (I assure you that it couldn't POSSIBLY be myself) would surreptiously install "one red light" amongst the otherwise "perfect" tree lighting.

While mother was in the assisted living center and not ambulatory, she was wanting those four foot high bogus trees that adorned the front porch of her former home. Had all the lights and a timer built-in, but the cats pissed them all up and there was no way I was going to store them or bring them in.

Off to Wallymart where in the Trailer Trash section of the store, were these light fiber really bogus looking three foot tall "trees" that were constantly changing in colors in the hundreds of strands. Absolutely hideous and a mockery of Christmas decorations - so I bought three of them.

I have tinsel now, but really REALLY old fashioned--thin tin strip icicles about 4-5" long, that are spiral-twisted and formed into a hook on the end. Come in a tube/tin with a cork stopper, and there are enough to do a good sized tree, and catch the light well with the twist design.

No silent nights around here if they see or hear people are on the street or they see other dogs/deer/other animals.

307 Again the big decision is whether to put up the small Lionel O scale layout around the tree (locomotive and a few cars repaired 10 years ago, transformer original still working).

Hate to tell you but part of that law was unconstitutional. States and localities cannot ban police etc from cooperating with the police and making it a criminal action. If you notice, that particular provision has applications to immigration and sanctuary city bullshit.

States and localities cannot be commanded to do federal regulatory action (Clinton v. NY and Printz v. US) but neither states nor localities can legally prevent individual state or local officials from doing so. Old settled law going back to well before the ACW.

I really enjoyed when HGTV or the like used to do "Christmas at the White House" but I'm not sure they still do it. Even Mrs. Obama was relaxed and charming, especially the last one when her little nephew joined her and was sooo excited about the team of horses bringing the tree.

424 Double checked. Yes, the old tinsel was made of lead. Banned in the US in 1972. The strips were pressed flat, and while it didn't have the sparkle of tinsel now it was more of a subdued shine. It was also heavy enough to hang pretty straight. Our family had switched by the mid 60's I think. The "new" tinsel is easier to reuse, the lead stuff usually ended up as a lump by year three.

I also grew up with colored lights and tinsel on our tree, but think we've always had tiny white ones. No tinsel. Our tree is up but the lights are not on.Have collected an ornament a year since we got engaged (197

. I have a lot of ornaments, plus inherited ones, etc.

On a whim I bought old crystal chandelier "icicles" from etsy this year. Because I felt like it and want some sparkle. It could look wacko, and I think there's only 10 or so and I will admit failure if it looks tacky.

We have a nice fake tree vs the real ones we used to buy. This way I can leave it up as long as I want, typically after the Epiphany.

It will take me a day or so to decorate the house. Not tomorrow after noon as a certain baby princess will be bossing me around.

He did put the lit wreaths on the front doors so we don't look like demented heathens with the autumn wreaths still up.

Many people around here seem to decorate before Thanksgiving, which is fine, but we wait til the first Sunday of Advent. Or, if I think of it and have time, after Thanksgiving.

I have put ribbon up and taken it down 5 times now. As I sit here and discuss it with y’all, I think my issue is I put my background, looks like it’s bouncing through the whole tree ribbons first, and then fit in the statement over top, which is messing up the symmetry of the bouncing ribbon. So it’s absolutely backwards, but I am going to take the bouncing ribbon out, but the statement bows in, and then put the bouncing ribbon back in. Will add the picks/ florals and hit the decorations after. Okay, thank you again for talking that through with me!

Most of the YT video intros can be skipped. I already knew about the case from the district and appellate review.

Simply put, it was grandstanding bullshit by MO and patently unconstitutional in its reach. Basically if federal government has a power to enforce this or that law, acting to try to prevent it by states or local governments acting on individuals including state and local officials that do try to cooperate is unconstitutional because of the Supremacy Clause.

So far, under Miller and later decisions, Scotus has specifically allowed Congress to regulate firearms. You can argue that Scotus got it wrong or press for legislative redress (Congress is under no obligation to pass regulations on firearms), but clearly that is the current understanding of the court that the 2A permits fedgov to regulate. And that same court has also restricted states from fully limiting firearms in the later Heller and MacDonald cases.

430 A few years ago I wanted to buy Christmas lights. I knew immediately what I wanted: LED lights (low-power, don't get super hot), multi-color, twinkling. I found that Target had many different various kinds of Christmas lights, and one of them was what I wanted. (It turns out that only some of the lights twinkled... I think 2/3 don't and 1/3 do twinkle. It's enough, the twinkling is nice but not overwhelming.)

So we bought like 7 of them. Our Christmas tree is colorful and gently twinkling every year. I really like it.

Maybe solid white would be higher class but who cares? I'm a Moron, I don't need to class-signal.

P.S. If you want lights like this, we got them at Target and they are "Wondershop" brand. I just did a quick web search and I think what we have is: C6

Has to do with a Missouri state constitutional amendment that prevented state and local officials from cooperating with fedgov on firearm investigations plus allowed MO citizens affected by investigations to sue those officials that did.

Basically the same idea behind the Sanctuary cities and states on immigration and so on. Very much not surprised that Scotus and the DoJ were not going to let that stand as it has implications for any federal, state, and local cooperation broadly on investigations. Like it or not, if fedgov has the power to regulate, then its regulation is supreme over that of states and localities and that includes inducing aid from state or local officials even if the state as a whole or locality as a whole forbid it.

439 Colored lights all the way. That's what we grew up with. When Dad was making serious money, we moved to an upperclass neighborhood where EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, had a single white candle in every window, and white lights on their Christmas trees (almost always real ones).

I got so bored with the monochromatic scheme that now I go nuts in my own house, with all colored lights on the tree, on the bushes outside, around the porch roof, and on the walkway to the garage. And I have strings of the big fat C-9 incandescent bulbs, too: inside, incandescent, but outside, mostly LEDs.

Only thing is, when it snows, the LEDs can't melt it, so they get covered.

Another of Biden's "Fully Vetted" Afghan Heroes Arrested for Terrorism

so heroic you guys

such allies

ICE on Wednesday arrested yet another Afghan migrant brought into the country under former President Biden's troubled "Operation Allies Welcome" -- this time a man Homeland Security officials say was tied directly to ISIS-K.
Agents took Jaan Shah Safi into custody just outside Washington, marking the latest example of a resettlement effort critics warned from the start would import national-security threats into American communities. Safi arrived in Philadelphia on September 8, 2021, during the Biden administration's massive Afghan airlift, a rush job that moved nearly 190,000 people into the U.S. with barely any vetting.
According to ICE, Safi provided support to ISIS-K and the Islamic State's Iraq network, and even supplied weapons to his father, a militia commander back in Afghanistan. After entering the U.S., he filed for Temporary Protected Status -- a request that fell apart when DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ended TPS for Afghans, exposing how many people the Biden team had waved through without knowing who they were.
"Today, our heroic ICE officers arrested Jaan Shah Safi, a terrorist who provided material support to ISIS-K," Noem said, blasting Biden's resettlement operation as "disastrous" and pointing out that Safi was picked up only miles from where National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were ambushed days earlier. That attack, carried out by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, left Beckstrom dead and Wolfe in critical condition -- yet another case tied directly to Biden's program.
The pattern hasn't stopped. On November 25, authorities in Fort Worth arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay after he allegedly posted a TikTok video hinting at a terror plot. Like Safi and Lakanwal, Alokozay entered the United States because of Operation Allies Welcome.

AFGHAN TERRORIST ARRESTED TODAY JUST MILES FROM D.C. CAME IN UNDER BIDEN.

Today the heroes of @ICEgov arrested Jaan Shah Safi, an unvetted Afghan national who provided support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan (ISIS-K). He also provided weapons to his father who is� pic.twitter.com/NFwiTSqVfb
— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) December 3, 2025

Remember, back in January, CBS's Melting Pot 5 propgandist Margaret Brennan argued 1, that all of the Afghan "heroes" were "fully vetted," 2, we should not even discuss the "fully vetted" heroes who are being arrested for plotting terrorist attacks, and 3, we should further ignore the then-latest Afghan terrorist's Islamic radicalism, because, you see, we don't know if he was radicalized in Afghanistan or radicalized here.

Lefties love fighting against the facts to create the thinnest possible zone of doubt so they can then say, "Because I have established 1% doubt about one minor point, the accused must be set free, and we must continue to follow the leftist agenda on this point. Unless the leftist agenda is disproved with 115% certainty, we must accept that the leftist agenda is 115% true."

Anyway, this claim by Brennan resulted in the highly-memeworthy response: "I don't really care, Margaret."

30 How can you really "vet" these guys? Serious question.

They're 8th century savages from a 4th world country with no records, no real infrastructure, and an entire culture built around infiltration and destruction.

There's no way to do effective background checks on savages like this. And even if you somehow could, it's been proven that these animals can be radicalized on a dime. Hell, even American citizens have been radicalized in short order. We could be letting in one of the few "moderate" Afghans, but 6 months after they get here they get Heismanned on tinder and start stabbing people.

I think the GOP is falling into a "vetting" trap, when the correct answer is that we don't want any of these CHUDs.

38 I was watching the video of the jihadi from this spring that was pulled over by the cops for running a stop sign where he ended up shooting at them.

Before he pulled his gun he complained to the cop that "we" were trying to kill him with government fees, government paperwork, and trying to work a 9-5. He went on to note "we" brought him here so it is our fault.

And you know what? He isn't entirely wrong. Bringing some Muslim nutter, even a "moderate" one from 'Stan and putting them into American suburbia is a stupid, stupid idea.

68 Pre 9/11 I knew little about islam other than that for 1500 years they had expanded and genocided their neighbors, and many still wanted to do that.

I thought all that oil money was a problem, and we should have never allowed that.

Post 9/11 I understood and accepted that we had a problem. It was not "reformable" and in fact, Christianity needed a reform away from our weak and tolerant ways. We needed to accept that much (not all) of the non-Christian world was evil and they wanted us dead.

to be continued. (i really do have a point here.)

71 I hope DeSantis went on to say that if the companies in FL hired illegals without verifying them and now have no workers, that is their own little red wagon; and in any case that will open up hundreds or thousands of jobs for American citizens.

Personally I think the companies that hired illegals, knowingly or unknowingly (as if they could *not* know when the applicant speaks no English), deserve huge crippling fines. And the CEOs should go to jail. This will naturally encourage other companies to avoid doing this.

91 The evacuation from Afghanistan was a horror.

But I am kinda leaning toward the theory that the recent actual National Guard murderer was threatened by the Taliban that they would torture and murder his family if he didn't attack the Great Satan.

The families of Afghans evacuated to the USA who actually helped Americans (even if self-serving) became hostages when left behind in Afghanistan.

92 With the Afghans brought over here under the "Allies Welcome" program, or whatever it's called, we at least have a hunch who's here and maybe where they are.

The thousands of Middle Eastern men who flooded the southern border and entered the country with no vetting, and no idea where they are... this seems to me to be a bit more disturbing.

There's likely a huge threat looming that goes well beyond the Hispanic loafers and welfare cheats.

96 73 One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

So I figured that when Bush and the DC clowns worked with muslims, "boy, that's dangerous but I am sure they know what they are doing and understand that every devout muslim wants every non-muslim dead."

I accepted that sometimes you have to deal with the devil to get one up on them.

point -- I now understand that the DC clowns are not only naive, but they are in league with our enemies. They are our enemies and they understand that once these people enter the country we have no defense and no way to remove them.

The West has to abandon tolerance (equality, freedom, for those who despise us) and go full reconquista and inquisition. Spain could do that because the King said so. We have no king, we have a constitution that says we can't.

UK has parliament which can do what it wants, but it may already be too late for them.

One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

I guess the good news is, we have adults at the DOJ and other agencies who are actually looking into this crap, rather than putting a rug over it like the previous presidency.

254 Can't the ummah find a place in dar al-Islam for these folks? They can get in line right behind the Palestinians. Surely they've at least learned standing in line if they've been working with the Army.

255 Look, it IS possible to reform Islam.

Just not by us regular humans. At some point, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ. And that includes every Muslim.

But Jesus is also going to burn the world first, and kill off the vast majority of bad people, which likely will take out a whoooole lot of Muslims, along with various corrupt others too. So not even Jesus will be able to reform mortal Muslims without killing a whole bunch of them first.

I am saying that this all may be true, but we have to act to defend ourselves, our family, our country, and our church.

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at December 04, 2025 06:15 PM (wGqjj)

Bondi, Pirro, Bongino Crow About J5 Bomber Arrest, Note That Biden Allowed the Case to "Languish"

A lot of celebrating from the beleaguered DOJ leadership.

...
Federal agents swarmed the Woodbridge, Va., home of 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. following the break in the case that has vexed and embarrassed the FBI for nearly five years.
"You're not going to walk into our capital city, put down two explosive devices and walk off into the sunset," bureau Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who has made the case a priority since taking office in March, told reporters at an afternoon news conference. "Not gonna happen.
"We were gonna track this person to the end of the earth. There was no way he was getting away."
Authorities did not publicly indicate any motive for the crime, with one high-placed FBI source rejecting earlier claims that Cole may have had "anarchist" leanings.

That's just one FBI source "rejecting" that. We'll see.

There were also "sources" that denied that Tyler Robinson was a gay furry.

"He's very antisocial. Very," a woman who said she had lived in the neighborhood since 1991 told The Post of Cole. "He keeps to himself."
"He has a dog that he loves," she added. "He walks every day, twice a day, to 7-Eleven with his dog and he wears his headphones."
"He seemed very quiet. He would never make eye contact. Almost like he just didn't see you," added a second neighbor, a man who noted that Cole would "wear shorts all winter long, and red Crocs."
...
Cole's arrest comes one month before the fifth anniversary of the melee that briefly delayed congressional confirmation of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
Surveillance footage showed a person carrying a backpack and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, mask, gloves, glasses, and a pair of Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers who planted what investigators called "viable explosive devices" at the headquarters of the two major parties on the night of Jan. 5, 2021.
Law enforcement officials, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, stressed that there was "no new tip" or "no new witness" that led to Cole's arrest, with the AG crediting "good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work, working as a team along with the ATF, Capitol Police, the [DC] Metropolitan Police Department and of course, the FBI."
FBI Director Kash Patel strongly suggested that a new analysis of cell phone data helped lead investigators to Cole, telling reporters that investigators sifted through "three million lines of information ... you can think about the amount of cell phone data that has to be ingested and triangulated and dumped and received."
"When you develop evidence, you get a search warrant," he added. "When you get a search warrant, you get an address. When you get an address, you hit the house, and that's what we did."

That cell phone data was all available to Biden and Wray -- but they didn't sift through it.

Or... did they?

A neighbor said this guy had "unusually short legs" and a simple gait analysis would prove or disprove his culpability. So Gait Analysis re-enters the chat.

Bondi says the case "languished" under Biden.

I want a full investigation of the "investigation" that Biden and Wray did.

Cole's step-grandfather, Earl Donnette, told NBC News in a phone call that he spoke with the FBI about his step-grandson, but declined to comment further.
Bondi said the investigation into the attempted bombing "languished" for four years under former President Joe Biden's administration.
...
FBI Director Kash Patel credited the U.S. Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro for their work on the investigation.
...
Neither bomb detonated, but authorities say both were viable and dangerous.
DC pipe bomb suspect
Video footage released by the FBI showed the suspect placing the pipe bombs near the two headquarters more than 16 hours before law enforcement found them.
The suspect was seen wearing a gray hoodie, Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers, a mask, glasses and gloves, but Cole's identity had long been unknown.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro lays out the importance of catching the DC pipe bomber:

"Four years, 10 months, and 28 days ago, an individual placed a bomb in the vicinity of both the RNC and the DNC, and for that amount of time, that individual evaded accountability." pic.twitter.com/NHTWHGtbZf
— Media Research Center (@theMRC) December 4, 2025

Update: Chuck Ross also wonders why the cell phone data didn't point to this guy sooner:

The affidavit has a lot of details of credit card purchases of materials and cell tower records from the night of Jan. 5. Surely the FBI narrowed in on this suspect early in the investigation. There weren't many people on the streets that night https://t.co/5f4zzEghY9
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) December 4, 2025

The most annoying "Reply Guy" content farmer on Twitter says that this guy must be MAGA, but all MAGA people are going to spin it that he's "anything but one of their own," just like we did with... Tyler Robinson, I guess.

BREAKING: The man arrested for the DC Pipe Bomb case is Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia.

I'm sure the spin will begin to label him anything but one of MAGA's own, no matter what his ideologies were. pic.twitter.com/lgoENdoX2Z
— Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) December 4, 2025

I don't think he's MAGA, Brian:

Brian Cole Jr, the alleged J6 pipe bomber, run an immigration bail bond company. You can�t make this up!! pic.twitter.com/43jB2U6XbH

Eastern Air getting shackles ready for van loads of deportees yesterday at MSP, Minneapolis, St Paul. It was 15* F w/wind chill 6*

These chains connect deportees’ wrists to their waist and holds their ankles together.

In the event of depressurization, they cannot reach for oxygen masks and likely would have difficulty evacuating in the event of an incident on the ground.

This is another example of the cruelty shown by ICE.

The last I heard of her engaging in anything of a political nature was when she went with a group out to Portland or Seattle or some such place to show support for the police when Antifa was getting particularly destructive - and she and her friends got assaulted by Antifa while the cops stood by and watched. That would surely be enough to cool my ardor for sticking my neck out.

Also for someone that has been here for so long and is in college...she speaks English quite poorly. I imagine ABC could only clean it up so much.

Nobody's explained -- and the MDM-MSM Progda Enemedia and AutoPen Empire were strangely uncurious and not ranting about -- why (1) Kamala was @ DNC HQ where a (#Fake) "pipe bomb" was instead of The Capitol for the electoral vote certification on J6, and (2) how she was in danger of "assassination."

Clearly, Plan B was to use the bomb threat to the VP-"Elect" as proof of the "far right" Trumpets' intention to steal the election by preventing certification -- and shut it down prematurely.

However, the Plan A Fedsurrection outside The Capitol was a (pun intended) "roaring" success -- eliminating the necessity of Plan B.

It's kind of a stretch to say someone named Mohammed is an image of the Prophet, but I wouldn't be shocked if this popped up. The abolition of Images was a latecomer to Islam, and had been popping up in the area in Christian areas as well off and on for a long time. See "Iconoclasts" in Byzantine history.

One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

355 Figures. I haven't been searching out images from this as I have no interest in watching people die, especially those I admire.

There's nothing graphic about that video. It shows, purportedly, Robinson running across the roof, getting to the edge, tossing the duffle bag, then jumping down.

Some have suggested, because he sort of limps away, that the rifle might have been stashed in his pants, rather than disassembled in the duffle bag.

I suppose that's possible. Doesn't appear so to me. I think the limp was because jumping off a roof hurts.

356 More likely breastfeeding. It takes a while to become fertile again on a non modern diet. Primitive tribes could put it off for four years even.

-------------------

Ah, that makes sense -- thanks.

I think I knew that women generally remained infertile while breastfeeding ... once.

357 So when do they release the kraken?

The Kraken was information linking Dominion to Symantec, Smartmatic and Venezuela

359 And I do not understand why anyone these days just accepts the government narrative.

Posted by: BurtTC at December 04, 2025 03:45 PM (d9xWE)

There are wide margins between waiting for reliable info to make an informed decision, "just accepting" government version, and using any and every unknown or possible inconsistency to invent conspiracies contrary to plausible explanations.

360 True. When your newspapers carry lies you need some alternate way in those same papers to convey information that the people in the lower echelons need.

In Mexico under the long rule of the PRI, the newspapers published state required propaganda pieces with the headers in italics. It was demanded by reporters so they d idn't waste time citing them or researching them

361 I just learned the bombs had a 9v battery on board. So wind-up timer might have been a feature rather than a distraction. But no explanation why they didn't go off.
Posted by: torabora at December 04, 2025 03:29 PM (KtOUo)

The wind-up timer acts as a time switch, and the 9V battery supplies the juice to ignite the primer. In theory, at any rate. If he was making his own primers, they may have been faulty.

were the pipe bombs real, or were they props, dummies
Posted by: Don Black at December 04, 2025 03:00 PM (iEkGv)

Yes. There's a deceptive half-truth in calling them "viable" explosive devices, which just means that the three ingredients were all present -- material, detonator, trigger -- and they could be made to explode. However, the available evidence indicates that would have to be done manually on the spot, and might even require some jiggering by one who knows how.

The trigger device was a short kitchen timer, and they were left overnight; so at a minimum the timers were not set before the devices were placed, and there's frankly no reason for us to believe that they were even hooked up correctly in the first place.

There is an eyewitness who falsely claimed to have seen that the timer on one was set for 20 minutes or whatever; but in one photo it can be seen that only the innards were there, and it was one of those cheapies where the clock dial is on the case. So, that was a lie, which means we cannot trust anything. They could also have been flat-out lying about the devices being viable, instead of a deceitful technical truth.

119 I just read an interview with that college girl that got deported. Wow. She was going to school in Boston with a scholarship (why didn't this at least go to a legal immigrant) . She had money enough to buy a plane ticket to surprise visit her family in Texas and afford to live in Massachusetts. Also for someone that has been here for so long and is in college...she speaks English quite poorly. I imagine ABC could only clean it up so much.

If she's illegal, so are her parents. Deport them too, then they can all be together.

364 So even though the people voted against it, the Council could still approve it? WTF?
Posted by: Bulg at December 04, 2025 03:41 PM (77rzZ)

Our city council believes that voting and public hearings are solely to validate the decisions they have already made.
This is also the mode of operation and decision making used by many of our local civic groups, as well.

366 You forget, Chris Wray said, before congress:

“some of the phone data that could have helped authorities track down who was responsible for the pipe bomb was ‘corrupted’ and ‘unusable.’

What the FBI did was fucking simple - they didn't give up. Kask Patel got the resources and the people to unscramble and track the cell data. That got them the suspect, and the shoe receipt. That got them the warrant and the arrest.

The Wray FBI deprioritized it and essentially gave up. The Trump FBI didn't. That is the story here.

367 "If you are married, you havent been married to a human woman very long...

Human females are like camels when it comes to sex."

Okay, I'll bite. What does that even mean and what was he advocating for being married to instead of a human female ?

368 Hmmm, y'know, I think I'm going to wait until this is confirmed by 'The Blaze' and their team of crack forensic scientists and weirdo stalkers.

369 So, did the Blaze get played in a deep state op or are we being played now in a deep state op.

372 This is DC screenplay, nothing more. This is how they make and take your money.

They have always known who this chump was/is. There are camera's covering every square inch of Sodom on Potomac.

This is their game, not yours.
