On the Fifth Anniversary of the Disasterous Biden Bug-Out of Kabul, Pete Hegseth Upgrades the Honors for Three Heroes of Abbey Gate
He didn't just give them new medals.
He also said that the Biden Administration downplayed their heroism, because Biden, and his corrupt media allies, didn't want the public to know how very bad the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate really was.Fox News PoliticsMarine Corps Times:
@foxnewspolitics 5 YEARS LATER: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth upgrades valor awards for three Marines who risked their lives during the Abbey Gate bombing, saying Pentagon leadership "inappropriately" downgraded their original submissions for half a decade. Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Eby took command after his platoon commander and half his platoon were killed or wounded. Lance Cpl. Jordan Houston was knocked unconscious 10 meters from the blast, woke up with shrapnel wounds, and stayed in the fight -- concealing his injuries so he wouldn't be pulled from the line. Cpl. Michael Gretzon applied his own tourniquet to a shrapnel wound, got bandaged, then immediately returned to his squad until his platoon sergeant physically ordered him to the casualty collection point. Hegseth also revealed that a special review panel recently recovered "highly relevant classified documents" that were "stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found." A full report is expected by year's end.
Videos of Hegseth stating that these Marines' valor awards were downgraded to spare the Biden Administration the pain of admitting what a hellish nightmare they created, below the jump. If you're pretending everything went swell, you can't decorate heroes who stood up when things didn't go swell at all. Sean Parnell, charged with investigating the Abbey Gate bombing, says that -- sit down, you're not going to believe this -- Biden officials hid key documents in safes to keep anyone from discovering the truth.
Five years after a suicide bombing killed 13 U.S. service members and around 170 civilians at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan, the Pentagon upgraded the awards of three Marines who survived the blast and then worked to save others in its immediate aftermath. The service members, assigned to 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, were at the then-Hamid Karzai International Airport as America's decades-long war in Afghanistan drew to a tumultuous close. Outside of the gate, where enormous crowds had frantically gathered in hopes of a safe evacuation from the country, an Islamic State bomber detonated the explosives on his body. During a Wednesday ceremony at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presented the Bronze Star Medal with Valor to retired Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Eby and retired Lance Cpl. Jordan Houston, and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor to retired Cpl. Michael Gretzon. Eby secured the area before helping to evacuate wounded Marines, Houston -- who was injured himself -- assisted others to safety despite gunfire and tear gas and Gretzon helped control the crowd from a vulnerable position after the blast, according to the department. Hegseth used biblical language when describing the service members' actions. "These three Marines embody a timeless truth written in the book of Proverbs: 'The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.' On that chaotic day, you men were as bold as lions," he said, adding, "When the wicked sought to sow terror, these men stood as lions at the gate -- bold in their purpose, fierce in their resolve and unbreakable in their courage."
He has not said what the documents actually say, yet. But I assume that is coming:
A Pentagon official on Wednesday claimed to have discovered classified documents that concern the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan five years ago, but the official declined to offer further details. Sean Parnell, who leads the Pentagon's special review panel examining the 2021 withdrawal, said in a video statement that his team recovered "highly relevant classified documents" that were "stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found."
This might be some of what has been kept hidden: CIA-trained Afghan units executed civilians during Joe Biden's catastrophe. This may not have been out of malice, but just due to the extreme chaos Biden created.
"You deserve the truth of what happened about what happened in Afghanistan, told fully and told straight," Parnell said.
The US commander claims that he's heard no such reports:
Afghan special forces units trained by the CIA mowed down civilians with their cars and shot innocent people to clear the Kabul airport during the Biden administration's chaotic U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, according to first-person accounts in a new documentary. Eyewitnesses in the documentary for The Wall Street Journal, titled "The Path to Zero," say atrocities were also perpetrated against U.S. military members at Kabul International Airport -- in the closing hours of the administration's final withdrawal of U.S. forces. Multiple people say in the documentary that they witnessed the Afghan special forces, known as Zero Units, murder members of the crowd in a CIA-directed mission to clear the airport. Those who committed the murders were then rewarded with evacuation, courtesy of the U.S. "They straight up executed people, ran them over," retired U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Edward Gonzalez says in the film, telling the documentarians that he witnessed these atrocities firsthand. "I literally saw trucks running over people," he said when told that some people have denied that such events occurred. Josephy Laude, a retired sergeant with the U.S. Marine Corp, also described what the Zero Units did to clear out the airport. "They would use vehicles, they would run people over, they would execute people," Laude says in the film. "They'd shoot them, shoot into the crowds bearing witness to atrocities, to war crimes."
Peter Vasely, a retired rear admiral with the U.S. Navy who served as the commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan Forward at the time of the withdrawal, claimed in the documentary that "no reports" of the Zero Unit's actions ever made it to him. He said he did not doubt what the Marines on the ground said, just that he never received any official reports of the conduct.But you know, documents you'd rather not acknowledge sometimes get "lost," like buried in unmarked safes for years and years, you know? This is why I say the "executions" and "murders" might not have been perpetrated with malice: Suppose you're a Secret Service driver. The presidential limo comes under serious attack. There are crowds of people in your way. What do you do? I don't know what the Secret Service is trained to do, but I imagine that if the president's life is in danger and there are civilians inadvertently blocking you from carrying him to safety, you hit the gas and hope they get out of the way in time. I don't know that. I can imagine such a terrible choice, though. That's what one witness says the choice during the chaotic bug-out was:
Darrel Issa says that many "Afghan allies" were never vetted before being given free passes to the US, and that's all part of this "cover-up."
Gonzalez also said that had the Zero Units not taken the steps they took to clear the airport, he and his fellow Marines would not be alive today. Kenneth F. McKenzie, a retired Marine Corps general, also said that not only would the U.S. not have been able to clear the airport without the Zero Units, but they wouldn't have been able to hold it either. "They were vital to the success of our mission," McKenzie said in the film. The documentary alleges that to get the Zero Units to open fire on their own countrymen, the CIA had to promise that they and their entire families would be evacuated from Afghanistan.
... Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., best known for his congressional investigations into Obama-era scandals such as Operation Fast and Furious and the IRS' targeting of conservative organizations, said during an interview on "Just the News, No Noise," Wednesday night that the cover-up of the withdrawal will soon be revealed. U.S. Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, Sean Parnell, who is chairing the Afghanistan Withdrawal Review Panel, is working to release that information.
"I mean, the two great cover-ups in Abbey Gate obviously was the lead-up to that tragic loss of our military personnel and many other civilians around them, and then the incredibly inept withdrawal of bringing into our country people who shouldn't be, or leaving behind many who should be here, and the Trump administration is still cleaning up for that by finding people around the world who are entitled and who really have earned a right," Issa said. ... Former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Secretary of War, Darin Selnick, said on the same program that criminal referrals could be coming for those responsible for the withdrawal. "But I think we have to be patient because it's going to maybe take another year to really dig these things out, do the right interviews, find the right people, get collaborative statements, and really find out, you know, with the criminal referrals, what was done that was done illegally, what was done that was immoral, and what's criminally referable," Selnick said.Update:
Remember the Afghani who shot two National Guard troops in Washington, DC? He was in a Zero Unit in Afghanistan before we idiotically brought him and others here. Ticking time bombs. They are trained assassins and from what I've read about them they love to kill. I doubt there was anything accidental about the killings they did in Afghanistan.

@TonySeruga The Abbey Gate attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 26, 2021, killed 13 U.S. service members--11 Marines, one Navy corpsman, and one Army soldier--in the final days of a withdrawal that had already spiraled into chaos. You're right that the families have channeled unimaginable grief into action: the Gold Star mothers and fathers built foundations, named K9s after their sons, lobbied Congress, and sat through hearings that produced a lot of theater and very little accountability. What they got instead of an accounting was a process--and a process is not the same thing as an answer. The Shape of the "Accounting" So Far - The After-Action Reviews produced classified and redacted reports that described the withdrawal as "flawed" and "poorly planned" but pointed fingers in a circular way: the military blamed State, State blamed the collapsed Afghan government, everyone blamed the Trump--Taliban Doha agreement, and the buck stopped nowhere. - The Abbey Gate investigation concluded the bomber was a lone ISIS-K operative who slipped through screening--a finding that satisfied the chain of command but answered almost none of the families' questions about why evacuation was happening at all, why the gate was so exposed, or why intelligence warnings weren't acted on. - No senior official has been fired, demoted, or held personally responsible. Not the generals, not the National Security Council staff, not the people who signed off on the drawdown timeline. In several cases, the people who made the decisions have been promoted or moved on to lucrative private-sector roles. Why No One Has Been Held Accountable? The uncomfortable reality is that accountability within the national security apparatus is largely self-policing, and the institution's incentive is to protect its own. When the Pentagon investigates itself, the goal is rarely to assign individual blame--it's to produce a document to point to as "we looked into it." Because most of the underlying material is classified, the public (and even Congress, in practical terms) can't verify what was actually known and when. There's also the political dimension: the people who would have to be held accountable are the same people who staff the next administration's transition teams, sit on think-tank boards, and write the op-eds. Washington is a revolving door, and no one inside it has much interest in establishing a precedent where catastrophic strategic failure ends a career. What the Families Actually Asked For - The names of whoever made the final call on the withdrawal timeline.
- An unredacted accounting of the intelligence failures.
- Designation of responsibility, not "lessons learned."
- Some acknowledgment that the decision-making, not just the tactical execution at the gate, is what killed their children. None of that has been delivered in any meaningful form. The hearings generated soundbites, the Gold Star families were used as props by both parties, and the actual answers remain buried in classification and institutional self-protection. The service members themselves--the 13 at Abbey Gate and the roughly 170 Afghans killed alongside them--did their jobs. The failure was never theirs. It belonged to the people who put them in that position and then quietly moved on. That's the accounting that's never come, and at this point, probably never will in any form that satisfies the people who lost children.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rejoins DSA after membership lapse of seven years Then House candidate joined Democratic Socialists of America in 2018 but didn’t renew membership after a year
Interesting that the DSA announced this, not AOC. They have some crazy nonsense in their platform, like embracing communism (which is VERY different than socialism) and calling for eliminating cops and prisons. It is an unelectable platform, so I hope she stays at arms length from them.
She’s running for senate. No way this was done with any calculations towards running for president in ‘28. The obvious correct move btw. Schumer’s seat is all but hers.
I think you are correct. DSA candidates may be unelectable in national elections, but they cartainly can beat Democrats in safe blue areas.
the right is going to associate her with the DSA anyways so no reason to put off the actual DSA supporters that do support her. We will not win the country back by punching to the left
Centrist democrats will whine "condemn Hasan" or imply she's antisemetic, and Maga will scream she's a commie even more.

PJMedia: "The Horrible Truth About the World's Worst Vegetable"
I just learned that kale only "became a superfood because a publicist in New York invented a trade association that did not exist."
"Before all that," Hoole continued, "the biggest kale buyer in America was Pizza Hut. Not for the menu. They bought it by the ton, fourteen thousand pounds of it in 2012, and laid it round the salad bar to hide the ice."
Kale, in short, was the stuff they put food on.

Curtis LeMay kind of had a permanent scowl, augmented by a semi-permanent cigar. But I guess his demeanor was due to Bell’s Palsy.
He famously whipped the Air Force into shape. He made them perform. He once flew into a base, called an alert. The base commander shows up in a hawaiian shirt wondering what’s going on. He would relieve people on the spot. Also promotions on the spot, sometimes for a whole squad.
He had Dayton, Ohio designated as a target for Air Force practice training. Very few planes even found Dayton, they were all messed up. He fixed all of that.
You can tell a lot about a guy by his enemies, the left tries to portray him as crazy and a bad guy. He was a great guy. The US remained nuclearly unscathed from the 1950s thru the 1970s because of this man, there is almost no doubt. Many presidents were skeptical though never enough to fire him, regardless of party.

PJMedia: "The Horrible Truth About the World's Worst Vegetable"
I just learned that kale only "became a superfood because a publicist in New York invented a trade association that did not exist."
"Before all that," Hoole continued, "the biggest kale buyer in America was Pizza Hut. Not for the menu. They bought it by the ton, fourteen thousand pounds of it in 2012, and laid it round the salad bar to hide the ice."
Kale, in short, was the stuff they put food on.

Exclusive Hamptons Club Cancels Restaurant Service After Illegal Immigrant Staff is Deported
ICE Deports a Record Number of Illegals Over the Summer
I saw this story cited on Instapundit, with the comment: We used to hire American teenagers for these jobs.
So, try that.I think you can afford to increase wages to hire a legal staff. And if you can't, you can't. A business that has to commit crimes to stay in business maybe isn't run competently enough, or attractive enough to customers, to stay in business.
An ultra-exclusive Hamptons yacht club catering to the wealthy and well-connected was forced to suspend its members-only restaurant service for multiple days after several of its kitchen staff were booted from the country over visa issues, The Post has learned. The swanky oceanfront Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett -- which reportedly charges around $100,000 in initiation fees -- canceled its Wednesday night dinner service after it lost its foreign cooks, according to a letter sent to members the same day.
Oh, so this is an easily solved "problem." The club claims this is just a paperwork snafu involving H2B visas (temporary, seasonal visas for supposedly necessary foreign workers) and suggests maybe the problem is with the Trump Administration's DHS. I don't know. The rest of the article talks about the "choppy waters" this club as been in for years. Deportations continue:
Food service was also canceled Thursday and is not expected to be back up and running until Friday's lunch service, the club informed its deep-pocketed members -- a group that once included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's parents.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ NEW: I'm told by federal source that ICE has arrested roughly 300 Haitian nationals in the state of Ohio alone in recent days, as the agency is now considering transitioning into a find & arrest approach after giving Haitians several weeks to turn themselves in to ICE offices since TPS officially ended on July 27th. I'm told to expect arrests of Haitians to begin to significantly ramp up soon as ICE starts to prioritize tracking down those who never checked in.
Bill MeluginThe leftwing media is pushing the newest op, which is that ICE has arrested a record number of illegals "without criminal records"... apart from violating the country's immigration rules, and, I'm sure, committing either identity theft to hold a job or welfare fraud to become dependents on a country they are not citizens of. First: Whether or not they have "criminal records," they are still illegal and not permitted to stay. There is no law saying "illegals may live in the US as long as they like so long as Soros DAs refuse to prosecute them for crimes." Second: Trump and Tom Homan have said over and over they would not have to go into illegal immigrant areas and arrest any illegals they find if leftwing sanctuary jurisdictions would just turn over the criminal illegal aliens they seek as their highest priority. If you just turned over the illegal criminals at the jail, this would be an easy job for ICE with no need of going into "the communities." But we're all supposed to take from this that Undocumented Criminals have a right to remain forever, so long as only some of their crimes are documented. By the way: this article admits, at the very end, that ICE has reduced "going into the communities" to make arrests and is now arresting people stopped at routine traffic stops and found to be illegal and less-invasive situations like that.
@BillMelugin_ Aug 24 BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE: DHS tells @FoxNews that ICE has quietly carried out one of its most successful operations in agency history, resulting in the arrests of 1,328 illegal aliens in just a 14-day span in the states of Virginia & Maryland. Nearly 400 of the aliens had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a Salvadoran illegal alien wanted by police in Richmond, VA on a murder warrant. (Eygner Wilfredo Huezo-Moran's mugshot below). Other targets included aliens with rap sheets for attempted murder and rape, as well as convictions for sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery and DWI. The operation primarily targeted the sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in VA & MD around Washington DC, and ICE arrested anyone in the U.S. illegally, regardless of any criminal history.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a record high of more than 800 people without criminal records a day in July on average, new federal data shows. The surge in arrests comes as the White House pushes the agency to hit a target of 2,000 per day. July is the first month in President Trump's second term when people with only civil immigration violations -- rather than pending criminal charges or convictions -- made up more than half of those arrested. An average of more than 1,580 people were arrested each day in July, also a new high for the current administration. Enforcement ramped up this summer after a drop following public backlash to the Department of Homeland Security's operation in Minneapolis, a funding standoff and a shake-up in DHS leadership. But, as has been the case with ICE's previous big city crackdowns, rising arrest totals come with spikes in community arrests of people without criminal records. Administration officials have repeatedly claimed that their enforcement efforts are focused on "the worst of the worst" and often tout arrests of immigrants with violent criminal convictions. Those with convictions for violent crimes as defined by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics make up about 6% of all those booked into ICE detention under the current administration, and about 4% of those taken into custody in July, the data show.So 1, this data comes from a leftwing Open Borders group, and 2, deliberately excludes foreign criminal records or open arrest warrants.
"ICE enforces the law as written. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.-- full stop," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News. "Many of the individuals that are counted as 'non-criminals' are actually terrorists, human rights abusers, gangsters and more; they just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S." The data, obtained from ICE by the Deportation Data Project run by the University of California, Berkeley and UCLA, does not provide information about immigrants' alleged crimes in other countries. CBS News asked DHS to provide that data.
"Claims," you see. They're liars, CBS "News" wants you to know.
White House border czar Tom Homan has said that sanctuary policies that prevent local law enforcement from turning over people held in jails and prisons to ICE force them to "flood the zone" and deploy more resources to such cities to find and arrest their targets and anyone else they encounter living in the U.S. illegally. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has made similar claims.
But June and July data suggests that ICE agents making arrests in communities are not focusing their efforts solely on areas the administration deems to be sanctuary jurisdictions. Those cities and states saw a 27% increase in street arrests during those months compared to the previous six, compared with a 50% increase everywhere else, CBS News' analysis of the data found.Wow, what an important bit of news: ICE is able to arrest more illegals in areas where the police cooperate with them. Here's the very, very late admission that ICE has reduced the controversial program of making mass arrests in sanctuary zones:
... The uptick in arrests has been without highly publicized city-focused crackdowns, with agents instead turning to traffic stops, airport arrests and arrests at immigration check-ins. The killing of two immigrants by federal agents in Maine and Texas during attempted traffic stops reignited outcry.

Every single TPS holder who now no longer holds TPS has been informed that they are eligible for deportation. They've all lost their jobs, some are fleeing (reports of them going to Canada, HA!), and there are reports of deportations for them specifically.
Remember, deportation is not a criminal remedy. It is the civil remedy to the civil crime of being present in the United States illegally.

There's nothing illegal about deporting someone who is present in the United States illegally. It is a civil crime with the civil remedy of deportation.
Sending someone home is not irreparable harm.
The left just wants it to be illegal to legally enforce laws passed by Congress against people they don't want them enforced against.

"criminal record" as defined by the media in these reports are only those arrested AND convicted of a major crime in the United States.
It excludes misdemeanors, those arrested for felonies, those currently under indictment for felonies, and--most importantly--those who have extensive criminal records in their home country.
Thus, an illegal convicted of murder in his home country, will be counted as having "no criminal record" by the US media.

Shocked, I am! The (D)emocrats have assured us, repeatedly, that this is not the case.
Of course, since all 1,328 are here illegally, the answer to the percentage of criminality in the statistical sample is really 100%.

and no I don't think that much money is even saved over having high school or college kids doing the jobs

Governor Hochul’s Letter to Secretary of Homeland Security: Terminating Temporary Protected Status for Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants is a Reckless and Inhumane Act
I am writing to follow up on a conversation I had with President Trump, and to reiterate my strong opposition to the termination of protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
"The callousness of abruptly ending TPS for legally-present individuals including the recent termination for Haitians and the forthcoming termination for Salvadorians will force New York State and local governments to sever the employment of hundreds of essential employees as soon as next week, putting their livelihoods – and potentially their safety – at risk."
"For generations, New York has welcomed those fleeing disasters or persecution and seeking a better future. Through our Office for New Americans, my administration has supported thousands of New Yorkers with TPS application assistance and legal representation. New York remains committed to supporting TPS recipients and will continue to do everything in our power to prevent harm to the immigrant community."

There's nothing illegal about deporting someone who is present in the United States illegally. It is a civil crime with the civil remedy of deportation.
Sending someone home is not irreparable harm.
The left just wants it to be illegal to legally enforce laws passed by Congress against people they don't want them enforced against.

Trump did explicitly promise, more than once, that he would lead the largest mass deportation operation in American history.
It's already 4 times larger than Operation Wetback, and that's acting like Operation Wetback wasn't a giant scam that was effectively DACA 0.8 beta.

Here's the thing, though: There IS no hypocrisy.
Their values and decision making are predicated - ENTIRELY - on seizing and retaining power. That's it. There are no other factors.
EVERYTHING they do/say/believe is in pursuit of that single goal. They are entirely consistent in all things at all times.
Don't make the mistake of assigning your values to leftists while deciding how to deal with them.

These swells and their predilection for seeking out the marginal and cheaper options for labor really piss me off.
Our scout troop would assist with annual roadside cleanups in a posh neighborhood in northern Delaware. While we worked, all the swells would zoom by in their high value vehicles as we preened their byways.
One time, after an entitled brat left her house to claim an arrow that one of our scouts had found in the roadside underbrush, and did so rudely, I had had enough. We were not going to do such scut work for them again -- clean up your own messes, a-holes.
I committed our unit to a stretch of road that ran up to our meeting place through Adopt-A-Highway. We would be cleaning up our own neighborhood. We would get public recognition for our deeds
In the form of roadside signs that marked out our stretch of road. This has been on our service calendar for two sweeps per year for a decade now. Wd traded up

Police sources and local officials indicated the event followed an altercation or fight near a bar or in the vicinity of the station. Witnesses reported the suspect returning in his vehicle and deliberately driving into the crowd. The victims were sitting on a bench at a bus stop when the car “came from the other side at full speed and ran over everyone.”
The perpetrator has since been identified by the BBC and several outlets as a 26 year-old man born in Russia.

They provide “intangible” benefits, I’m told, in language and food.
They are a huge economic benefit to the USA, they say. Benefit to whom, exactly?
They also say isn’t it great they are “helping to shore up social security” by having payroll deductions but aren’t eligible for payments. Imagine that! Exploitation.
But they are steadfast in their belief that the only reason anyone could protest millions of illegals is racism and hatred of “brown people”. The only reason. There are no downsides to open borders.

Peter Cullen, the voice behind Optimus Prime in the Transformers franchise, has died at the age of 85. His agent confirmed the news, and his family said he passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home surrounded by loved ones.
Cullen voiced the Autobot leader in the original 1980s animated series and reprised the role in the live action films starting in 2007. He also brought Eeyore to life in Winnie the Pooh and voiced Monterey Jack in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.
His family shared a line he lived by, asking fans to honor his memory by "leading others with compassion, integrity and loyalty" and to always remember to "be strong enough to be gentle."

Trump’s mass deportation campaign increasingly targets legal immigration pathways to boost arrests and removals
ICE, and the right wingers who joined, are a bunch of pussies who never intended to put themselves in danger to arrest the violent criminals they like to talk about. They do like harassing and assaulting the nonviolent people though.
ICE is illegally arresting legal immigrants to intimidate and frighten every one with its power to ignore the law
It's almost like Faux News, who kept claiming that tens, if not hundreds, of millions of "illegals" were violent criminals, was full of shit.
They're focusing on conservative cities instead of liberal ones. Thats why it isn't in the news as much. This is devastating the floridian Cuban communities...Republicans are gona lose Cubans with this and maybe we'll get a blue Florida one day.
We’ve deported thousands, doge ‘cut government spending,’ "billions" in tariff revenue and shit is still expensive as hell and wages are low. Hopefully people will wake up.

except those guys quit constantly
so my one worked at a specific (very nice) restaurant thru HS and summers in college
got up to server, very nice! BUT
sometimes the illegales in the back just didn't show, en masse, or enough that he would end up washing the dishes
this happened on the regular!
so whatever, your point is valid but in reality there are huge downsides
it just gets to the point where you CAN'T put an anglo back there. no one can talk to them

You’re not supposed to support a family on a minimum wage job. They are for teenagers to learn how to show up on time, complete a series of tasks and then go home. It isn’t supposed to be fun. You’re supposed to WANT to do something else, something that will require education or experience or certification.
Kids think they deserve $30 an hour, they don’t show up, they want the newest iPhone and gaming console. They would never dream of living three to a one bedroom scuzzy apartment and working three jobs. They are spoiled, entitled, lazy drugged up brats.
It is actually horrifying.

For once, I agree with Paul. However, it is also true that a subset of Americans once thought it was better to have slaves picking cotton than full citizens. Just because someone wants it for their own selfish reasons doesn't mean it's desirable, or even legal, which clearly the illegals are not.

Oh?

And, despite the evils of the Trump, the left has yet to point to a single, legal resident that has been deported.

I'm there every year for a ski and snowmobile trip. The waiters and bartenders in the nicer places are still mostly locals and white seasonal kids. But everyone else is foreigners and almost certainly illegals.
In the last few years, there's been a lot of African workers imported. In the winter at a ski resort. It's amusing to watch the (affluent) American black guests at the resort look around like "wtf are all these Africans doing here??"

Must be the latest Indivisible plan since the larger No Kings crowds are vacationing in the finest of places.
Locally: Daily Times, yesterday, "Lansdowne says no to immigration enforcement participation"
And the county's new Human Relations Commission covers discrimination complaints across four primary sectors: housing, employment, public accommodations, and health care.
The commission protects residents from discrimination based on personal characteristics, including: Race, color, ethnicity, and ancestry; religion or creed. National origin or citizenship status. Sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. Physical or mental disability. Age and veteran status. Familial or marital status. Source of income. Domestic or sexual violence victim status.
Imagine trying to be a private employer (other than a NP) with that mess.

But they can’t seem to connect the dots. “We should have open borders!” and “I can’t believe the minimum wage is so low!” are directly connected.
Millions and millions of illegal labor drives wages down down down. Costs for rent and insurance go up. Those “intangibles” they bring are increased hit and run and carnage on the highway among other things.
Court interpreters for 72 different languages costs a fortune, by the way. Schools are fooked. The list is extensive.
Cost shifting everything onto the backs of local citizens, local governments. It is beyond repulsive. And all these bastards on the left have monetized this and make serious bank.

Illegal presence is a civil crime, not a criminal crime. The civil remedy is deportation.
It's a game of semantics, to a degree, but the fact that deportation is the actual civil remedy always entertains me.
Entering illegally is, I believe, a criminal matter, but illegals aren't picked up in Iowa for crossing the border, but for being in the country illegally.

It's not about his looks (though I'm sure it helps).
Charlie Kirk was a handsome dude and they were thrilled to see him shot in the neck.
They like Hasan because he screams for more people to shot in the neck.
It's about the neck-shooting, ya stupid bitch, not the gym regimen. Go home and slam your dry old clam to hus Twitch streams. You understand nothing.

I had to prune Christmas trees on my family's Christmas-tree farms all summer. Bees, wasps, and hornets built nests in many of the trees, and you might not see the nest until you had started pruning the tree, which of course stirred them up.
Also, hot and humid AF. Miserable.

- The employment laws are a big deal. Everyone wants to sue for discrimination, hostile work environment, unfair treatment, etc.
- Culture. good management of skilled, creative, people is hard because they always have "ideas". They create conflicts. They have resentment of each other. The manager has to keep them happy to do whatever needs to be done. I have fired or refused to hire many people simply because they would be a bad fit. Complainers, backstabbers, megolomaniacs, etc.. With foreigners, it isn't a problem because they will put up with a lot of shit.
- Competence. In tech, being a competent manager is tough, but necessary. You can't tell an engineer to do something foolish as he will get pissed and be very unhappy. Foreigners will waste time doing stupid shit for months, just happy know they getting paid. Or, an American will ask questions and demand resources when in over their head, but a foreigner will stay up late on youtube figuring out what the manager should have known and told them.

Police in Minneapolis reportedly raided the apartment of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son and seized firearms before arresting his roommate.
Law enforcement sources told Alpha News that a search warrant was carried out at the home of Omar's son Adnan on Tuesday night.
According to the outlet, they recovered guns and ammunition from the home and arrested his roommate Abdulrahman Abdi, 22.
Earlier that day, the city's police department said in a statement to the Daily Mail that they conducted a traffic stop and cited Abdi for no proof of insurance and no license.
The department said that Abdi was released at the scene and the vehicle was in the process of being impounded when a firearm was found inside.
Officers later tracked Abdi to an address on Marquette Ave where they said they arrested him 'without incident.'
Abdi was later booked into Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge before being released on Wednesday night, records show.

You should actually read the law.
A cursory look at eVerify is all employers need to do to make a "good faith" effort. Then they're covered legally.
There's massive wiggle room written into the law for employers to evade responsibility for hiring illegals.
The law needs to change.

When I was a teen our church group went to an apple orchard and picked up apples for eight hours. We did not pick apples. Our job was to dig through the apples on the ground to find undamaged apples and collect them.
This was deep in the heart of summer in eastern WA. It was miserable and the air was sickly sweet with rotting apple smell. I couldn't stand anything apple flavored or scented for years.
On the plus side, I vividly remember two jerks getting into a fight. One sucker punched the other and ran away. While he was running, the other picked up a rotten apple and hit him with it. The apple exploded on top of the sucker-puncher's head and he tumbled.

I’m reminded of an exchange between Lex Luthor and one of his henchmen in Elliott S! Maggin’s Last Son of Krypton. He’s been laundering some of his more normal inventions through a fake name, and his accountant tells him the guy has made too much and the taxes are going to kill them.

yeah I had one summer in college a job for Manpower doing day work for various corporate clients, including unloading the steamer Delta Queen on the shores of the Ohio which was a blast from the past. Another doing some redrilling of some parts using a set up fixture on a big machine - put a part in, lower the drilling parts in, pull out, remove part for the cluster of boxes of parts they had. Cheaper than having a skilled guy do it.

The Morning Rant: Cultural Suicide
Norway will ignore the European Union’s demands for a moratorium on hydrocarbon exploration in the Arctic Circle and continue drilling for oil and gas in the Barents Sea, the country’s energy minister said. Speaking before Norway’s biannual energy conference, which began in Stavanger on Aug. 24, Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said Oslo had a right to develop its own sovereign resources. “In today’s geopolitical and security environment, and given the resource situation, I believe continued activity in the Barents Sea serves both Norwegian and European interests,” Aasland said.
Without exploration and bringing new wells on-line, their current production would decrease until...wait for it...they won't have enough oil and gas for their customers (Europe) and themselves. And all of that sweet foreign money that flows to Norway to fund their soft socialism would slow, and Norwegians might have to work harder to support their 200,000 Muslims. Reality is smacking Europe in the face! Green insanity can never provide enough power to run even the most basic services, and the dirty little secret of the bien pensants is that they still need oil and gas...and lots of it. When tens of thousands of Europeans die every summer because they can't afford air conditioning, and their governments won't allow them even if they could, something is broken. And it is the cradle-to-grave welfare state that so many crave. Economics is a cold-hearted bitch, and it says that when too much productive work is captured by government, growth slows, innovation slows, and wealth creation slows. That is what has happened to Europe, and its Green insanity is just accelerating its plunge into 3rd world status.

I think the whale oil industry was mostly supplanted by petroleum by the time of mass auto production, but I do know that every single pocket watch manufactured between 1850 and 1910 used whale oil as a lubricant, and we are talking about tens of millions of watches per year.
I recently read a book detailing the death of the whaling industry, and the primary reason for its collapse was the fact that petroleum oil was cheaper, easier to obtain, and just as good a product.

I read somewhere that it is still the best oil for watch mechanisms. In extremely small quantities of course. I imagine a single whale could oil all the watches in the world for decades.

I really think the Europe we see today is the result of a centuries-long brain drain. The Europeans with smarts and initiative got the hell out of there and went to the US or one of the European colonial possessions. The stupid and indolent ones were mostly left.

Being bordered by 2 oceans has been both a blessing and a curse. Until recently, many Americans didn't travel overseas the way people in Europe move between countries, particularly once the EU basically abolished borders.
A large percentage of Americans got their "facts" about the world from the garbage media. And they have a completely wrong view of the world and how people in other countries live.
The US has by far the highest quality of life on the planet. Stats can be manipulated to paint whatever picture someone wants. But when you factor in things like access to food, healthcare, education, recreation and on and on, there isn't a country on earth that offers what the US does. Not even close.

Nah, not directly. This is more humane, albeit more slowly. FDR cabinet hatched “the Morgenthau plan” during world war II to try and reduce Germany to a pastoral, post-industrial state. The prevailing view was twice in 25 years they had started major global comflict. Let’s permanently remove the ability for them to do this ever again.
You can see the same sorts of philosophy or threads at work here, I think. Ditto for the USA as well. Energy deficits, no Coal, no Nuclear, heavily dependent on imports. They are serious about banning petroleum, gas and oil. What other conclusion is there? Kneecap everything.

Norway is a founding member of NATO and a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), but it has chosen to stay out of the European Union (EU).

I live in Reidville. It's been growing by leaps and bounds. Campobello and Landrum are very quaint and nice. Actually, Sparkle City (S'burg) has been doing its best to revitalize the downtown area. It's making some progress, but will always be the ugly stepsister to Greenville.

Debt. And we are already trillions in debt now.
Because the government spends more than they should which should be against the law but they don't care.

A popular leftist influencer could face charges after urging his followers to donate to a designated terror organization and potentially bragging about making his own donation.
Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson alleged Wednesday that leftist social media influencer Brian Krassenstein deleted an X post claiming to have donated to Autistici/Inventati (A/I).

Hellholes West of the Mississippi specialize more in property crimes, drugs, vagrancy, and just generalized mayhem/quality-of-life crimes.

But the important thing is HUNTING WHALES WITH HARPOON GRENADES. Which is frickin' awesome.

In the late 90s, Bill Clinton was offered up Osama by an African government for a small amount of money. They, and Clinton's own negotiator assumed we'd pay the money and do exactly what you suggest, but the Clinton admin had internal discussions of what they would do if given Osama because they didn't think they could successfully put him on trial.
And while I'm not a huge fan of Bob Dole I suspect he would have been fine with giving Osama this treatment given the opportunity.
Yes, yes it would have leaked at some point and Osama would become another leftwing martyr (and I guess he sort of is now) but...who cares

And if not 100% black, does the white part have to pay reparations to the black part?
The typical American black has somewhere between 20% and 30% white ancestry (less in the Deep South, more in northern regions).
This should be obvious to anyone who's looked at an American black person and compared them to an actual black person from equatorial Africa.

I was in my final week of basic training at Ft. Jackson, in the woods, when 9/11 happened.
I was 32 at the time, and was going through basic training...again, after I left the Army in 1989.
Twelve years of being out, had to go through again.
And 9/11 happened.
I knew I was going to war, and I did...three tours to Iraq.
Would we have gone to war with Iraq if 9/ll didn't happen? Only God knows.

One of my Russian teachers at DLI told about the busloads of Finns that would come to St. Petersburg on Sundays. Finland had blue laws back then that prohibited the sale of alcohol on Sundays. So the Finns would get on busses and go over the border to St. Petersburg, get smashed, and then get on the busses to go back to Finland in the evening.

Looks like a 40yo, homely, fat, bald man, shrunk to fit on Mary's lap. I get the "dress them like they live now instead of then" thing that painters did for centuries. But not the "make them look like the current pope, but as a baby" thing. Ugh. (And, yes, the head reminds me of a pope, but I'm not sure which one.)

According to a pious fiction that was very popular in the Middle Ages, Julian was of noble birth and while hunting one day, was reproached by a hart for hunting him and told that he would one day kill his mother and father. He was richly rewarded for his services by a king and married a widow. While he was away his mother and father arrived at his castle seeking him; When his wife realized who they were, she put them up for the night in the master's bed room. When Julian returned unexpectedly later that night and saw a man and a woman in his bed, he suspected the worst and killed them both. When his wife returned from church and he found he had killed his parents, he was overcome with remorse and fled the castle, resolved to do a fitting penance. He was joined by his wife and they built an inn for travelers near a wide river, and a hospital for the poor. He was forgiven for his crime when he gave help to a leper in his own bed; the leper turned out to be a messenger from God who had been sent to test him. He is the patron of hotel keepers, travelers, and boatmen. His feast day is February 12th.

"Imagine that it’s october 2026, and one of Germany’s 16 federal states has come under the control of a far-right government for the first time since the Nazi era. With an absolute majority in the state Parliament and one of its own installed as state premier, the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, quickly begins implementing its agenda. The interior minister announces an emergency remigration program: abolishing asylum, revoking the residence permit of any foreigner convicted of a crime, pledging to review all naturalization decisions made during this century, and incarcerating those designated for deportation. The government stops classifying Ukrainians as war refugees and ends their social benefits. European Union flags disappear from public buildings. The mainstream press is shunned in favor of influencers aligned with the party’s ideology. The government authorizes vigilante groups to act as an auxiliary police force in regions with high crime rates."

Is this St Nick the real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled.
Just a little bobsled, we call it old Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

Lorenzo di Credi
It's impressive (to me) because it's a very old 1490–1494 painting for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi; oil on wood (panel), and almost 5 & a half ft square. But I had no idea who Saint Julian and Saint Nicholas of Myra were/are.
Saint Julian, according to myth, unwittingly fulfilled a pagan prophecy by killing his own parents, then spent the rest of his life dedicated to penance. He's the patron saint of travelers, innkeepers, ferrymen, and pilgrims.
Saint Nicholas of Myra (The Wonderworker) was a 4th-century Christian bishop from Myra (Turkey) and his historical legacy eventually inspired the modern myth of Santa Claus. He has the bishop's vestments and 3 gold balls (or purses of gold) at his feet.
The gold is related to his most famous charitable act, saving three poor daughters from a life of destitution or prostitution by anonymously throwing bags of gold through their window to provide for their wedding dowries. He's the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, unmarried girls, and pawnbrokers.
Wouldn't hang the painting but it's another interesting lesson.

I see it as akin to years ago, when hot actors (such as Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp) would dress like homeless people. They want to be seen as more than beautiful - probably demonstrate that they don't value their beauty - to demonstrate they are more serious/complex/whatever than what appears on the surface?
That's my guess. *shrugs*

My guess is more prosaic. Celebs do that primarily because they don't want to be hounded in public. Dressing down and not having an entourage allows them to escape the gilded cage now and again.
Back in the day, even Kings and Queens would disguise themselves thus.

Now, that I think about it...
I believe the ugliness of Renaissance Baby Jesus portraits comes from the attempt to give the Infant Jesus -
the look of complex thought and emotions that the Son of God would/should possess.
Babies faces are unlined and their expressions direct and simple. Not much to work with if portrayed realistically.
So, the painted Christ Child gets an adult face.

Sorry, you're wrong.
Every media story is required to note that claims of election fraud are made "without evidence."
They would not lie about that.
Plus, Trump lost all 875 election cases from 2020.
None of those judges admitted any evidence of election fraud so that proves there was no election fraud.

The Morning Report — 8/ 27 /26
Good morning kids. And so President Trump made this move yesterday.
President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on Wednesday declaring a national emergency to protect the United States’ bulk-power system from foreign threats. The order prohibits the purchase or installation of certain foreign-produced electric equipment that poses cybersecurity risks or operational vulnerabilities. . . By addressing vulnerabilities in the supply chain, the order aims to secure the reliability of the U.S. electric grid, reduce dependency on foreign components, and mitigate risks to national security. It also aims to protect critical infrastructure that supports defense, emergency services, and the broader economy.Considering we are in a state of war, no not with Canada, despite the idiocy farted out by their yammering potato headed PM Carney, that we discussed yesterday. I mean Iran and behind the scenes the Chi-Coms. And Iran still has a very dangerous and operational Cyber Warfare capability most recently demonstrated by their sabotaging of a major British power plant for several days.
So, the President's move is for sure understandable. That said we had this totally avoidable madness happen right here in Gary, In...
Gary, Indiana, just wrapped up week two with no power, and the left-wing narrative on the extended blackout is (unsurprisingly), “It’s racism!” As someone who lived in Gary for a decade, I can tell you it is anything but that. Gary made me a conservative. In 1999, I married a man from Gary and moved to his home on the west side. That marked the beginning of a 10-year journey in one of the most dangerous cities in America. I was a default Democrat at the time, like most black Americans. Still, as a Christian woman, I dove into community service right away, helping launch and direct an afterschool program.Yes, it wasn't cyber-warfare nor racism, but the evils of the absolute incompetence of Leftist/Democrat longterm control of a city that caused this deterioration. Suffering and misery of the citizenry is all because said Democrats/Leftists are interested in is the accrual and maintenance of absolute power at all costs. Speaking of which, I give you the diametric opposite of the sane, erudite woman who wrote that piece; the bald-headed, brain damaged, vile, twisted Lopecia Pressley.
“It is bigger than Trump,” Pressley said. “Because whenever we do the work of ousting the occupant of the Oval Office, the Confederacy is still alive and well. That’s all MAGA is.”Funny, the confederacy and the slavery, Jim Crow and big government genocide of Black America was created and fomented by the DEMOCRAT Party, as it is until this very day. All they have left is a tattered and shit-stained race card to play as more and more black Americans are abandoning them en masse. Not enough in terms of numbers and speed necessarily to satisfy me but I think the trend is there. If it weren't then we wouldn't be seeing the reactions to Gary, or Flint Michigan or anywhere else their incompetence causes misery, dislocation and death, or just the knee-jerk blood-libeling like this repulsive piece of shit and everyone like her. When do we declare a national emergency because of the continued assault on the nation and society by the Democrat/Left. They will be our undoing if the Muslim's don't finish us off first. If that is the case it will be because their allies on the Left will have greased their wheels. My only satisfaction is knowing their pinheads will be lopped off as Islam seizes control of everything. Have a good day.

It's not that they can't understand Trump, it's that they don't want to. Because that would mean admitting he's pretty damned good at stuff.
The guy spoke nice of Chuck Schumer to his face at the Al Smith Dinner; got Kim of NK to crack a smile when he stepped over the border.
Do they think he means all that as well?
Imagine choosing to believe he likes Chuck, Kim, Xi, et al.
But, it is funny--there's a reason Canada won't show their people the terms of the trade deal (and lied about what it actually said) but the US was happy to:
The trade deal wasn't to hurt Canada--it was to cut China out of using Canada as a middleman.

The other tiny group hears her words, processes them, and then get angry, mistakenly projecting their own abilities, sensibilities and moral framework onto a population that is beating off watching pr0n on their mobile devices.

Just how many tankers does the US have now?
Not just the ones we seized trying to sneak out of Venezuela but also now Iran?
Keep in mind, each one of those tankers holds $100-$200 million in oil.
You know who doesn't have a fleet of tankers they can use to move oil all over the world?

Like skyscraper tall ships.
Anyway, thought, what is the maximum size of a wooden ship?
Turns out, it's about 350 feet long with about 6,000 long tons in payload.
By comparison, the Megamax steel container ships are 1,312 feet long, holding about 24k 20-feet containers.
The Valemax ore carriers are 1,180 feet long and have a payload of some 400,000 tons of ore.

Canadian PM Mark Carney just promoted Maia Johnson to be his 'Chief Operating Officer'. She's an American with strong ties to Hillary and Michael Bloomberg.
My read is that on trade issues Carney is playing to his base in the East at the risk of further alienating 'Texas North' Alberta.

Absolutely. The number of dead is somewhere between 95 and 10,000 - and likely much closer to 10,000. Most of the bodies will never be found.
FYI - the videos out of the large government building being hit by a 100 foot tall wave of black water and debris were of a border crossing post between Nepal and China. The videos of the town being destroyed were from the next town down the valley from that post.

IDK if it's true in fact but it's definitely true in spirit.
Oh, and saw a generic party approval that has the Dems at only +0.8% and falling.
Anything less than +5 and they're not flipping the House.
I'm sure they'll improve those numbers by siding with Canada in a largely irrelevant trade war...

But she's griping about it. "I don't like seeing this many blacks around," she says. This is a COMPLETELY different environment than the urban black neighborhoods she grew up in. It's a mostly white area. The blacks who live here share "white" values, work, and keep their houses and cars nice, go to church, etc., just like her.
But the psychological trauma from spending your youth in those places never really goes away. She's having visions of crack dealers menacing our daughters on their way to school, any day now.
It reminds me of my grandmother's old Jewish refugee friends - they would do stuff like boarding up canned goods and valuables in the walls. In Pittsburgh. In the 1990s.

yes this is definitely the case
at the same time, it looks like lil Joshie was working with a Dem PAC as well on the "killer measles" op. things are coming out fast and furious on X.
it was totally a set up. one of the "cases" was a newborn who died of blunt trauma (assume birthing problem?) - spleen ruptured. far too young for a measles vaccine and the supposed "measles" found in the poor thing's tissues was minuscule.
the other case is apparently really old (time wise) and can't be found to confirm any of the details. it might just be made up.

US Aims to Revive Civil War-Era Court to Claim Iran Oil as Prize
The anticipated revival is the second time this year the administration has turned to an obscure court system to carry out its agenda, after bringing the first-ever case before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court in July.
“Our national security interests may require the United States military to seize vessels or cargo supporting the enemy during military conflict,” Reitz said in a statement. “If that happens, our federal courts must be ready to adjudicate the disposition of these captured vessels and cargo.”

Cognetti is the Democratic mayor of Scranton with Gov. Shapiro's endorsement to flip Pennsylvania’s 8th District back into the Democrats’ column. The PA State Education Association, PA Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals, and the PA AFL-CIO back her too. The issue being used against the current Republican U.S. House member is he had a history of stocking trading. (The audacity of Josh and others!) The Rs are supposedly focusing on Cognetti's record as mayor of Scranton including helping to secure a state grant for a new Fidelity Bank headquarters, where her husband's uncle sits on the board (Politico).

After a legal scandal involving Jr. in 1998–2000, control of the franchise was transferred to his sister, Denise DeBartolo York, and her husband, Dr. John York.
The York family remains the principal owner today, with dummy son Jed York serving as CEO and becoming the principal owner in name in 2024.

Open Society Foundations began work in Nepal in 2007, when the country was emerging from a decade-long Maoist insurgency. Per the Tides Foundation, "The monarchy had just been abolished, and the country needed to elect a constituent assembly in order to draw up a permanent constitution."
More current, Chinese nationalist commentators and media have linked George Soros-backed NGOs and Western interference to the September 2025 youth-led "Gen Z" protests that overthrew Nepal's pro-Beijing government.
In the interim: 2023 Press Release, UN Environment Program, 'Nepal unveils historic climate adaptation plan.
Nepal has today launched its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP), a comprehensive strategy aimed at bolstering the nation's resilience against climate change. The plan, having an estimated cost of USD 47 billion extending to 2050, was unveiled at the National Climate Summit in Kathmandu.
The funding model for Nepal's NAP involves a blend of national and international financial support, with the Nepalese government committing USD 1.5 billion and external sources providing the remaining USD 45.9 billion.

"UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report 2023, released earlier this month, highlights the urgency of such initiatives, estimating the costs of climate adaptation in South Asia could range between US$40 billion and US$205 billion per year over the next ten years, or around 1 to 5.1 per cent of the region’s gross domestic product.
UNEP and the government of Nepal have successfully worked together on a range of climate adaptation initiatives and projects since 2013, including ecosystem-based adaptation projects in Kathmandu Valley and the Dolakha region, a conflict and peace project, and a flagship initiative on south-south cooperation.
At the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai (Cop2

360 Insty has a link to an article about how things should be made of better stuff and worth fixing, and laments the whole "everything is disposable" culture we're in.
But it got me thinking, especially in light of my current situation (been busy lately)...
Why is that an unalloyed Good? Implied in that position is the assumption that I actually have the time to sit down and fiddle with a thing that's broken. Diagnosis, buying parts, farmer-rigging whatever parts I can't buy, then hoping it works and there isn't something else wrong with it as well.
I don't have that time these days. If something i need breaks, my options are "get another one" or "do without".
Repairing your own stuff is a bit of a luxury. And the rise of Disposable Culture of cheap things that aren't worth fixing when they break has masked the fact that the dollar is worth far less than it used to be. If anyone tried to "make things like they used to", they'd cost 10x as much and no one could have them at all except the very wealthy who wouldn't waste their time on fixing broken things because they have to.

1) an expanding population, so there's a continuous demand for your product whose parents could tell you how excellent a value it is so buy it to save money OR
2) a product that is weirdly specific and difficult to substitute that fails at the sweet spot where you haven't pissed off the customer so much that they are in "fuck you, asshole" mode because it happened 1 month after you bought it but haven't delayed the failure for so long that they've forgotten who built that thingy that just failed and are open to looking for the cheapest substitute.
A lot of engineers would go for option 1 if possible. A lot of business school suits would go for option 2 no matter what.
Since 1st world populations aren't being expanded by 1st world humans, we're at option 2 (which makes the suits happy anyways).

Two possibilities that I see:
a) Because when the bubble pops (and they know it will) they want to be controlling as much of this branch of technology as possible, that way they stand a chance of still having some of the small surviving percentage of AI businesses that are actually useful enough to pay for, and that can make them money. A lot of companies are going to go under, but whoever survives can come back and potentially own the market.
b) They're trying to make themselves "too big to fail" so they can ask for a huge government bailout when the bubble pops.
Of course this could all be undone by having a debt-to-income ratio that's so insanely high that they just get sunk anyway, especially if Uncle Sugar says "No bailout."

Her Majesty asked me to back up her files, in light of the disk failure I recently suffered. Please remember, Her Majesty has problems with electronics that no other human being ever, has ever, or will ever have.
I sit down at her desk and try to wake her computer up. It is, as usual, sluggish as hell. I decide to shut it down and restart it. I shut it down properly, having closed all the programs and clicked on the Shut Down button.
I wait and restart it. The Windows screen comes up but it says that the password has expired and has to be reset. What password? It's been years that she's had it and if I did set anything up, it would have been with a PIN.
So I have to type in the old password and a new one. I try a bunch of commonly used passwords. None work. Does the computer give me any option to recover my password? No. Is HP any help? No.
I try a number of things suggested online. None work. I try resetting the computer to a restore point. It chews on this for an inordinate time, then says it's done and to restart. I do that. Now Windows won't boot up at all.

Stirling is doing okay on his diet. The IAMS dry food bag says a 12-lb. cat (which is underweight, for him) should get 6 oz. a day. Yet I've been giving him about 4, combined with canned food. The problem is no doubt that he proceeds to eat what Dagny leaves after her first quick nibblings. Thus I have to be even more of a "parent" than I already am, taking up her bowl to protect it from him and setting it back down when she is ready to eat more.

"Meta hasn’t admitted wrongdoing, even as it settles allegations that it intentionally designed its platforms to keep children hooked — a common tactic for companies looking to avoid a jury trial, where the risk of a worse outcome is higher.
"A ruling against Meta could also have jeopardized the legal protections that allow social platforms to escape liability for what users post."
It really does sound like a shakedown.

The late great Marie-Antoinette was like that. I introduced her to walks on a lead when she was about six years old, and she took to it with gusto -- even ran to the door crying when I took the harness and lead out.
As for new people coming over, Marie's attitude was clearly "Ah! Someone new to worship me!"

Tati, as we call her, was wicked smaht too, pulling open drawers to get to her toys and playing what with a dog would be called "fetch" with her little rubber ball. If she and Marie had known each other . . . well, I shudder to think of the devilish mischief they could have wrought.

Three of the four Siberians came from the same cattery about 90 miles from here, so I have their records. The fourth was a found cat. Aside from them, no, I've never known. Based on their approximate ages, I decided little red Arizona (later to be BIG red Arizona) had been born about the first of May in '83, and that Stirling's date was three months before I adopted him in June of '22.

I also hate the whole 'use your social media account as an authenticator' that facebook started.
I also sympathize greatly with the fight against botnets, 50-cent armies, and so forth that make accounts preferable.
I think 'anti-scraping' and 'you bypassed our API' is the least defensible argument because dude this is the age of xAI scraping everything too.
So I dunno whose side I'm on except that I would use xcancel not to bypass x.com, but because videos that had high traffic wouldn't *load and play* on x.com, I had to get them through xcancel or whatever alternatives. And that's x's fault, not xcancel's.

If you made an offer and they accepted it, I would assume there was some earnest money put into an escrow account. If the seller did not disclose certain issues then that could be grounds for rescinding the offer without loss of the earnest money. However, it's also customary for the seller to pay for remediation of the issue(s) at their cost to maintain the contract.

Yes, I did put in earnest money. I got it back on my previous adventure, when the sellers declined to fix the issues the inspection turned up. I'd hate to lose it here. But the house really is kind of small for me. Am I really at the mercy of the seller? If I say, "Fix A, B, and C," and they agree, am I stuck?

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

On one cold and cloudy day

Paper has been utilized for purposes of hygiene since the 6th Century, in China. It became a mass-produced product in the 14th Century. Modern toilet paper, for commercial use, started in the 19th Century and a patent for dispensers, that could hold rolls, was made in 1883. The rolled toilet paper that we use today, which is perforated, was created in the 1880's. Toilet paper varies immensely; size, roughness, weight, resistance, residues, water-absorption, etc. The bigger companies invest time and money in surveys to figure out which requirements sell best. This can lead to the adding of aloe in the paper, for a softer feeling paper. Northern Issue, in 1935, began to advertise toilet paper that was "splinter free." Up until this point, it was common to have splinters in toilet roll, due to the production techniques used. St. Andrew's Paper Mill, in the UK, launched 2-ply paper in 1942.Ouch.
A New Jersey woman who accidentally flushed her wedding ring down a train toilet was reunited with the precious object thanks to NJ Transit employees. Julie Angelicola said she had just left the bathroom aboard an NJ Transit train when she realized her wedding ring was missing. "So I'm kind of meticulously getting all of this soap off of my hands with toilet paper and literally going finger by finger, and crumpling it all up, trying to do it quickly - threw it in the toilet, flushed the toilet, went back to my seat," Angelicola told WPVI-TV. She reported the ring's loss to NJ Transit, which took the train out of service. Employees put the train up on jacks, removed the toilet tank and opened it up to discover Angelicola's ring on top. The ring was returned to Angelicola on Monday at a NJ Transit Customer Service Center.

I did a trial run yesterday because I needed to make sure the play list worked. I have a newer teacher on Saturday and giving her a playlist where she has to really find the beats for 8 counts would be mean. Anyway, everyone loved it. No issues with Jolene. I love that song - Miley Cyrus does an incredible cover of it, by the way. The tear jerker moment is “I Will Always Love You”. I used it for stretch, so I could use the original and not a remix.

She had a bunch of musical hits in the 60's
Show ended when she whipped out her boobs to Gene Gene the Dancing Machine
Some gal once told me she saw her at a porno wrap party. She walked around all night with nothing on but a t shirt reading "Slut"

Just curious. Is Toby Kieth considered pop country? I've always been a pop music fan and wondered if it carried over to my country selection.
A young me always caught grief from my friends but I proudly owned it .

I keep it simple. If a song becomes POPular, it's pop. The genre doesn't matter. I might like it, I might not.

about 2012 most of that colored stuff went away. Paper towels with printing on it, patterned TP, and the rest. I think it was a form of shrinkflation.
I stopped buying it because I shopped at really cheap stores, but I suspect it all dried up about then.

Not as an ignominious fall as Dolly Sharp (real name Helen Wood). She was a dancer and Broadway performer (including work in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on Broadway, the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Corps, and the 1953 MGM musical Give a Girl a Break). She later appeared in a supporting role as Helen, in Deep Throat.
In DT, she asked a dude "Mind if I smoke while you eat?"

I have a novelty TP dispenser. It’s a music box but triggered by pulling toilet paper off. Unfortunately modern toilet paper is thinner than when this thing was built and the cardboard tubes are thinner, too. So the paper isn’t strong enough to wind the music box and the tube isn’t circular enough to let the music play when the springs tighten.

Always thought that was funny... until Th. night.
I fell and I couldn't get up! Spent the night on the floor, and the next 6 days in a hospital. Hurt my right knee, but nothing broken or torn.
I'll be getting in-home physical therapy for an unknown period of time.
Hospital: First time I ever had a young woman hold my junk to enable me urinate. I was humiliated and mortified the first time. But then the experience became as familiar and routine as tooth brushing. Both of us bored.
I spent a night on the floor because of an unlikely series of cascading events-- same way most disasters occur. I put two devices on chargers in the kitchen at the same time, 40 feet from my bed. One was a Life Alert-tyoe emergency fall alarm; the other was my cell phone-- while my son was out-of-town. So I was alone.

No. Way.
One of my favorite interviews Jerry gave was when the interviewer tried to get him to trash the Monkeys. Jerry said something like the Monkeys have a huge fan base. Not what we play but a lot of people like their music.

I can't now, but that is the major goal the physical therapist & I will be aiming toward.
I have multiple problems-- severe arthritis, which showed on the x-rays; terrible stenosis (lower back pain); loss of muscle mass.
So this is going to be a project. I intend to get my regular shower modified into a walk-in shower. (I used to laugh at those ads too.) I intend to put in ramps, to help get over steps I have to climb to enter the house.
For years I've been saying that I'll put up with physical disabilities, as long as i don't have mental ones. Too glib. I may have tempted fate.

Business opportunity: pay toilets for modern credit cards. Tap To Crap! (R)
Posted by: mikeski at August 26, 2026 11:53 PM (VHUov)
I had long sat with disquiet about bacchic women or the feeling that women would, in their insatiable fervor/desire for Dionysius tear him apart.
I grew up with women as homemakers and often the force that held things together as males got over their rebellious youths. So, I couldn't see the ancient force of women out of control that another culture might have seen.
I see the AWFLs and the women who "Stand with Lindsey", and I get it now.
I can see what the ancients wanted to tell us about the destructive force of women running wild.

I did it. Last Thursday. My foot slipped on the bottom stair coming out of the camper. Went over the edge of the stair, backward, smacked my ass on the ground and my head on the wheel hub. Cut a 2" long gash in the back of my head, which bled like an SOB.
When the EMTs showed up (DH freaked and called), they asked if I lost consciousness. DH informed them that I swore a blue streak the entire time, so, no.
I got up. I put the washcloth on my head cut. I cursed some more. They still took me in the ambulance to the ER, where I got 5 staples.
Now the damned things are itchy, but I need to get them out on Friday.
So, yeah. Curse if it helps, and I think it does.
But get off yer ass.

All the revolutionaries try to sound tough as long as they are protected by the System they hate so much. If there is no Constitution there are only two alternatives. Either it's Mad Max, and Piker would be livestock at that point and he knows it. That leaves only Kings. Piker sees himself fit to rule over us because he's just better than us. I'd also be willing to bet he doesn't want let insignificant things like lost elections and other peoples' rights get in the way of his righteous and wise rule. Because he's better than us.
His arrogance makes my skin crawl.

There is a reason Darleen and Charleen sign up for the 8 PM shift at the Waffle Hut on Wednesdays. They wore out by then too.
Marleen is out cooling off in the inflatable pool, even thought the water temp is the same as the air and about the same humidity.
At this point not just my back, but every muscle and sinew feels abused. Been worse and worse since shortly after 6 AM. 6:27 to be specific (Wednesdays is payday at the Hut).

Always heard it as "paid my dime." Is that inflation, or the US-Canadian exchange rate?
Although I'd read about them (including the aforementioned graffitum), I had never encountered pay toilets — didn't seem to exist in our neck of the woods — until the road trip Dad, my older brother, and I took to the NY World's Fair in '64. Somewhere along the road "back east," I went into a restroom and there was a long, long row of pay toilets. I'd read that there was usually a free one at the far end, and sure enough there was, maintained about as poorly as you'd expect. Yuck. Didn't use it.

Greg laments, as I did immediately, that we didn't get the circular definition of a "Woman" is "Somebody who identifies as a woman" until seeing this Brit demonstrate the circularity of by asking a prog drone:
"What is a woman?"
Drone: "A woman is somebody who identifies as a woman."
"And what is that?"
What is that thing they think they are? Merely anybody identifying as that label?
Then why would you have you penis removed, if nobody knows whether that majority has penises or not? Why would you get tits?
So clear when somebody who saw it sooner, demonstrates the circularity. I wish I had seen it sooner.

Once they are unburdened of God, not another thing has to be critically examined.
I am distinctly not saying that not believing in God is lazy thinking. I'm just saying that the stress of considering God into your thinking--the weight of God--is relieved and that's mainly all the "thinking" required. "Is that stress necessary."
And even as a Christian, I can't say that it could be defined as such.
I just think we've seen the returns of "weightless" thinking.
It's what Marxism and Critical Theory ARE. It's what's Owen's original "socialism" WAS. It's Rousseau, and the Jacobins before all that.

It's amazing how fast the mind can run at times. I contemplated falling on the basket somehow, but couldn't maneuver it in time, so I dropped it on the landing. I remember being in mid-air and realizing there was absolutely nothing I could do to catch myself or alter my trajectory. I chose trying to relax and landing as flat on my back as I could. That sorta worked.
When my skull hit, there was an evil-sounding crackle, but fortunately it was some soft-edged rock around the shrubbery, which gave way rather than cracking my skull. The brick scraping down my leg hurt but was pretty superficial and healed up soon.
As I lay there looking up at the night sky, I realized Mom was abed at the other end of the house, and MiladyJo was in the kitchen, out of earshot. I had no choice but to turn over, and crawl back up the stairs. Grateful to have got off relatively easy.
It was a lesson in being older, fer surely.

A little less that 24 hours from now, the partial lunar eclipse will be in full swing. Looking at the map, many of those on the West coast should see the eclipse right around moonrise, which will give a cool "blood moon rising" effect.

Yeah, I've got butterflies, but we aren't that far out in the woods. 15 minutes to a fully staffed Fire Station with EMTs. Half an hour to a fully staffed hospital. It seems like the boonies, but we considered that when we moved due to our ages and relative frailties.

I have a fondness for the writing called "philosophy", or "Love of Wisdom". Because that is a history of analytics.
To "analyze" is to "take apart". But things do not exist in our world taken apart. Therefore, for my one method I have to shift between a type of holism and analytics, but never trusting too much in the reduction of analysis.
All my reading of philosophy is putting writing through a filter of "How would this be true to me? In what sense can I verify the chain of rationale given?" or at least "In what sense would I integrate these principles into my way of seeing the world?"

Seriously, the proper term would be "lunar noon", but that can be a bit ambiguous, sort of implying solar noon on the Moon. A related notion would be the "synodic lunar day", which is really ambiguous, but this would be the average time between transits of the Moon. Like a solar day, but using the Moon rather than the sun. And that period is just a smidge under 25 hours.

Because the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is within the Earth, but on the side closer to the Moon. So gravity is a touch weaker on the side of the Earth away from the Moon. The Moon-side high tide is higher than the one away from the Moon.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 27, 2026 01:50 AM (1z8ji)
That gets a bit...complicated. It's due to the tidal field of the Moon (and Sun, too, but the Moon is the dominant effect). The tidal field is the *gradients* in the gravitational field, the difference between the acceleration or g-field over a distance of interest. The tidal field of the inverse square Netwonian field of a spherical mass goes as the inverse cube of the distance, and is stretching in the radial direction, but compressive in the tangential directions.
Imagine a plastic body immersed in the field. Relative to its own center of mass, it gets stretched a bit in the radial direction, and squashed in the other two directions.
This produces two "tidal bulges" along the radial center line. This is what causes the tides. As the earth spins under the Moon, those tidal bulges, aligned with the Moon, move across the surface.

Now, because of friction, those tidal bulges pulled up by the Moon's tidal field can't slip under the earth perfectly, so they get dragged along and lead the Moon a little bit. Thus, friction causes the tidal bulge line to get a little ahead of the Moon.
The difference in mass distribution of the earth causes a "torqueing" of the Moon's orbit, and slowly throws into a higher orbit. The Moon thus is receding.
This also causes a counter torque that slows the earth down. This is required from conservation of angular momentum. As the earth slows down, it loses rotational kinetic energy. Some of that goes to heat due to the friction and the rest goes to the Moon's own orbital energy.
This is thus a type of "spin-orbit" coupling due to the tidal forces.

And this came to mind-
Posted by: wait for it at August 27, 2026 02:02 AM (4RYRd)
The tidal field of the Moon (and Sun) are also responsible for precession of the earth's spin axis by another mechanism. This normal torque is caused by the tidal field acting on the "spare tire", the earth's equatorial bulge caused by its rotation.
There is some rather complex physics in the tidal field.
And Isaac Newton first worked all that out.

That's why Newton is perhaps the smartest man who ever lived. Einstein himself said so, remarking he stood on the shoulders of giants, and Newton was one big giant.
Newton's IQ was likely about 190, six standard deviations above the norm. Shakespeare was probably up there as well. This is not to diss a lot of the other greats, but Newton probably takes the cake. 5 and 6 sigma people, all of them.

JQ, go to timeanddate.com and plug in the nearest town to you, and go to the moonrise page. An eclipse link will be there as well, and you can get the timings.
Now, if you want to be really accurate for exact location, go here:
"www.timeanddate.com/moon/@Lat,Long", where Lat and Long are your coordinates in decimal. W long is negative, so make sure the minus sign is there.
Timeanddate uses topocentric coordinates with the WGS84 ellipsoid, and is dead accurate with the timing.

I think the sim card doesn't have the capacity to do it.
That's why I went to a smart phone. I deleted most of the apps and it the three years I've had it used Apple store (you have to use Apple store to download anything Free or not) three times.
Can't bring myself to accommodate them.
But it will spoil you. Texts, email, good camera, and the contacts -
I've got 5#s for several places with notes. That ability turned me.
And you can view the web. Or interact. It's difficult.
But in a pinch I've bought and sold things.
It's like Pixy said IOS is bullet proof with apple slop on top.
I bought an 11 used three year ago and it's still going strong.

But it got me thinking, especially in light of my current situation (been busy lately)...
Why is that an unalloyed Good? Implied in that position is the assumption that I actually have the time to sit down and fiddle with a thing that's broken. Diagnosis, buying parts, farmer-rigging whatever parts I can't buy, then hoping it works and there isn't something else wrong with it as well.
I don't have that time these days. If something i need breaks, my options are "get another one" or "do without".
Repairing your own stuff is a bit of a luxury. And the rise of Disposable Culture of cheap things that aren't worth fixing when they break has masked the fact that the dollar is worth far less than it used to be. If anyone tried to "make things like they used to", they'd cost 10x as much and no one could have them at all except the very wealthy who wouldn't waste their time on fixing broken things because they have to.

So my wife was having issues and went to the dr who said basically, "could be anything we'll have to do an ultrasound". In the process of doing the ultrasound, the dr. was there, they found something and the dr said, "oh no that's 12mm 3x the size that we would just discount we must do a biopsy and send it all to oncology right now. We will have it all run and will call you tomorrow.
So today is "tomorrow" and they called,
"hi we're the dr's office..."
yes?
"Oh, well, let me see. Well we're calling you about the test..."
yes?
"We finished it. All done. Checkmark. fini.."
Yes, and the results...
"Oh you wanted to know... wow, ok,... lets see we're playing golf today, tomorrow watching some cat videos, love those crazy cats... How about a week from now if you're not busy."

This is my reason........I went through two rounds of antibiotics when a cat that I tried to shoo off my deck decided to dig every claw and every tooth he had into my leg........
Another time I was sitting on the couch of a pt's home when a cat was all over me wanting some love/pets. While I was petting him he proceeded to launch himself onto the top of my head and dig his claws into my scalp. The extraction was not fun
I don't know if I dislike them as much as I don't trust them.
I tried cats early on and they kept shitting in my plants and my closet.
Just my reasons!

Was amused to see those little lawn signs - here they "This house is ignorant and morally narcissistic, and just believes mindless slogans" (well, that's not what they say but you know the ones).
In some Canmore outlying areas, they said "Unity". Which I thought was just perfect. You see, the problem isn't most of the country morphing into a soft authoritarian economic basket case aligned with Chy-nah, that is vandalizing and harassing Albertans. It's .... "Unity". Darkly hilarious.

I think it would give the Provincial government a mandate to try to negotiate separation from Ottawa under the terms of the so-called "Clarity Act". Ottawa can be counted upon to not bargain in good faith. I would expect several fruitless rounds of negotiations, followed perhaps by an avowedly separatist party winning an Alberta provincial election, and simply issuing a UDI.

They filed a cease and desist order against xcancel.
First, they shut off the ability of embedded links to execute video. "Stick our app on your phone!"
When the outcry got too large, they enabled video, but blocked out audio. "Stick our app on your phone!"
Now, they've removed the workaround of adding "cancel" behind the "x", in front of the ".com", using the URL.edit function. " Stick our app on your phone!"

I think the best result would be to break up into statelets under a US security umbrella. Its absurd how the main government takes money out of the region and retards development. It should invest more into the area, get it populous and rich and pull Canada up that way.
I think any of those would need some reconstruction to become US territories/states but with increased funds from the US to develop the border areas this wouldn't have to be too painful.

In Japan they are doing the first human trials in re-growing adult teeth by suppressing the factors that prevent further tooth buds from forming. The initial trial is with patients who never developed adult teeth. This first trial should be completed in a year or two, and then they go to second phase with adults with removed or damaged teeth.
Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time

I'm not seeing any parallel between Ukraine, Russia, and Canada.
If the US wants Canada, it can take it. Their army is pathetic and their people are disarmed.
The issue with Alberta is purely domestic, and we can sidestep that by recognizing them as an independent country and go forward from there. If one province bolts, others may well follow, but promising them American statehood is premature.

A trio of vocally pro-Israel House Democrats were given powerful posts on the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, with one taking the reins of the subcommittee that oversees U.S.-Middle East policy. Why it matters: It is a substantial win for the party's pro-Israel wing despite growing pro-Palestinian sentiment among the party's grassroots. And it could have global ramifications, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) indicating that, if he becomes chair of the Middle East and North Africa subcommittee next year, he will use the position to shore up U.S. support for Israel. "If Democrats take control of the House, I'll be in a position to help steer U.S. policy on Israel and the Middle East," he told Axios. Driving the news: In addition to Moskowitz leading Democrats on the MENA subcommittee, pro-Israel Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) were appointed to the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.), a pro-Palestinian progressive and prolific critic of the pro-Israel group AIPAC, was also appointed to the panel. Moskowitz, Wasserman Schultz and Bell all dispatched left-wing primary challengers this election cycle who went after their support of Israel.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Tuesday he did not support an upcoming event in his city featuring the leader of the Hindu nationalist group that is the ideological parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is scheduled to speak at a Manhattan event on Saturday, according to the event's website. "I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction to cancel a private event," Mamdani, who is the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of New York City, said when asked if the event should be canceled. "The vision of India that I was taught by my family and one that I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society of a secular Republic that believed in the belonging of each and every person who was from India. And it has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision."Oh he demands India be an "inclusive" government? Does he make the same demand of Muslim governments, I do wonder? No I don't wonder that at all. Woman parodies the darkest of all social media "trends," "Mothers" proudly telling the world they hate their children and would do the "Same" as Lindsay. Note that is a parody. I wouldn't say she's undermining the seriousness of this situation. I myself have found it difficult to even talk about it, because it's so dark and disgusting and speaks poorly for the future of mankind. And I mean the short-term future -- what will happen in 10-15 years? How many Child-Murdering Feminist "Heroes" will we live to see? For me, the only way I can even begin to address this horror is through parodies like this. THEN: Chris Cuomo says that covid "misinformation" is the greatest threat to this country and must be suppressed through censorship.

@EricLDaugh Holy smokes YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP. Democrats are rallying behind this illegal alien saying he was wrongfully arrested by ICE, because he's a "father" It turns out -- he's a convicted CHILD ABUSER, has been charged for criminal s*xual PENETRATION, child abuse, domestic violence, and child abandonment, per @AliBradleyTV
THIS IS WHO THEY DEFEND They didn't stop to wait for the facts to come out because they don't actually care. In fact, they want him to vote in our elections, not just NOT be deported.
🚨 Holy smokes YOU CANT MAKE THIS UP.

"The Indian (or “Asian”/South Asian) community in Uganda—largely of Gujarati origin, including merchants, traders, and business families who arrived under British colonial rule—was a small minority (roughly 1% or less of the population at its peak of ~80,000–100,000 people). Before Idi Amin’s 1972 expulsion order, they dominated much of the formal economy: contemporary and later accounts commonly state they owned a large majority of businesses (figures often cited in the 75–90% range) and generated the overwhelming share of tax revenues."

Moskowitz is a self-proclaimed "DeSantis Democrat" so he's a lost cause
anyone in florida chas a mandate from heaven to vote republican just this once. This guy being in charge of israel policy is more dangerous thab another generic republican
Party leadership is still dead set on being pro Israel and most DSA electeds won't even call out Jeffries or Schumer.
The Democrats are really showing the limits of democracy by their refusal to budge on an 80/20 issue because their money demands it. Same with data centers.
Reminder: Favoring any nation over the U.S. is called treason. With DWS and Moskowitz running in newly gerrymandered districts, I won't shed a tear if they lose.

Causes: Rising communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims, driven by the Two-Nation Theory and demands by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League for a separate Muslim state to ensure political representation.
Borders: The borders, known as the Radcliffe Line, were drawn by Sir Cyril Radcliffe in just five weeks, a hasty process that divided the provinces of Punjab and Bengal along religious lines.
Human Cost: The partition triggered one of history's largest mass migrations, displacing approximately 15 million people. It was accompanied by severe communal violence, resulting in an estimated 200,000 to 2 million deaths.
Long-term Impact: The partition created geopolitical tensions, particularly over Kashmir, and led to the eventual separation of East Pakistan into Bangladesh in 1971. It also left unresolved territorial disputes and deep social scars that continue to influence India-Pakistan relations. You may now continue.

Why do they keep including Michelle Obama in these polls? She has has shown 0 interest in running for office and she pretty much hated Barack being president from all accounts.
Hill dog was the most popular politician in the country at one point. They'd simply turn on the attack machine and make half the country hate her so much the median voter would say "where there's smoke there fire"
Hillary probably would have won the primary and general if she ran in 2020. She was polling similar numbers as Harris now
if AOC gears up for a presidential run she would trounce Kamala with younger voters.
Us clearly not ready for a women president. Democrats just need to win. Biden wasn’t a shiny choice, and didn’t seem progressive. But he was the most progressive president ever and won.
Not gonna lie. Part of me wants Hillary or Harris to come back and whoop a republicans butt. Don’t know if that’s wise, but I will say part of me wants that.

Do Democrats even bother to vet their candidates for sexual depravity in their past, or do they just wing it?
This has been an open question since the Graham Platner disaster, but at least the man who won the Maine Democratic senatorial nomination and then was forced to give it up after a rape allegation topped off a long, sordid, and documented history of perversion gave it up. Bobby Pulido is still running, and while he’s never been accused of rape, the Texas U.S. House candidate’s past is so deeply troubling that he should have bowed out long ago.
In the latest resurfaced problem for the congressional hopeful and Tejano music star, Pulido defended the artist behind a controversial 2016 music video in which the musician tortures, gropes, and then kills an unfaithful girlfriend.

Court Rulings: Rogue Woke Biden Judge Lifts Her Stay on Trump's Reasonable Order to Check Mail-In Ballot Addressees Against the Citizenship Rolls; Monica McIver Loses In Her Bid for Immunity When She Physically Assaults Federal Officers
The Supreme Court recently lifted the stay on Trump's executive order to the Post Office to check mail-in ballot names against a list of US citizens.
The rogue woke judge who initially issued that stay came up with a Brand New Reason to defy the Supreme Court: She said that because the Post Office had continued making plans for the eventuality that her order was reversed, they had defied her original, lawless and now reversed order, and so she ordered her stay back into effect, the Supreme Court be damned:Her initial stay was unlawful and wrongheaded, but she believes that the Post Office planning for the likely outcome of it being revered constituted "complete noncompliance" so she reinstates the stay the Supreme Court just lifted. As that guy says -- she must be impeached, and if the GOP wants its voters to bother voting for them, they must impeach her. The last time the Supreme Court overruled her, she said she would abide by their ruling, "reluctantly," while writing an order re-asserting all of the bullshit reasons she cited for issuing it in the first place. Now, once again reluctantly, she again removes the stay she seems absolutely demon-possessed to issue:

From Crusader: The fat sack of racist-grievance crap Monica McIver attacked workers at the Newark DHS processing station, for which she was arrested. She claimed immunity under the Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause, which, as you might guess from the perfectly clear English words, immunizes Congressmen from lawsuit based on their speech in Congress. (And bad judicial rulings have extended this to speech made outside of Congress, too, so long as it's supposedly "in furtherance of their duties" as Congressman.) This High-Calorie, Low-IQ woman decided that she's also immune to criminal process for punching cops. A federal judge denied her motion to grant her Star Chamber powers to attack anyone she disagrees with.
Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey's Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday. "The charged conduct ... is unambiguously non-legislative," 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee. McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall. McIver and two other Democratic lawmakers were present when federal officials moved into a small crowd to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who joined them on the oversight visit. The confrontation escalated and became physical, and McIver was ultimately charged with making physical contact with the officials. The 3rd Circuit ruling sustains the bulk of the criminal case against the Democratic lawmaker despite her protestation that the charges were brought for political purposes. McIver pointed to commentary by Trump, his allies and the former federal prosecutor who brought the case at the time: Alina Habba, a former Trump personal lawyer and current White House aide. McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.Of course a Clinton appointee dissented, stating that while he would not necessarily throw the charges out, he would like to see if Trump's supposed "retaliation" against her grants her the immunity for punching cops she craves.
Fox News Politics
@foxnewspolitics 2h A Biden-appointed federal judge just sided with the Trump administration against a House Democrat accused of assaulting ICE officers -- rejecting her claim that slamming her forearm into a federal agent was protected legislative activity. Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., tried to get the case thrown out by arguing legislative immunity. The Third Circuit wasn't buying it. The 2-1 ruling found that physically striking federal officers is "unambiguously non-legislative" and "not integral to the legislative process." Two of her three counts survive. McIver fired back, calling the decision wrong and vowing she will "not fold to this administration." The charges stem from a chaotic May 2025 confrontation at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, where Democratic officials showed up unannounced and the situation devolved into a physical standoff with ICE agents.

Yeah, they'll pull out all the stops to assure it isn't applied to the mid-terms.

During a live interview on Fox News, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed forcefully defended the beheading of infidels, explaining it was really the same thing as a haircut. "Have you had a haircut, Jesse?" retorted El-Sayed, upon being asked whether he supported cutting off people's heads with a machete. "Clearly you have no problem with people using sharp objects to cut off parts of your head. Yet, because of your bigotry, you want to deny infidels the opportunity to have their heads cut off with a machete.

It's a problem that cannot be resolved through typical means. Voting isn't going to fix it. Congress isn't going to fix it. The judiciary itself certainly won't. SCOTUS is neutered.
Bad things are coming. For the judges. They think they're immune.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 26, 2026 05:21 PM (2Cry5)
McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.
If memory serves, that clause only applies to the floor of the House and Senate, which is why Hairy Reed got away with lying through his ass "It worked, didn't it?"
I'm rapidly coming to embrace the idea that these cocksuckers need a little taste of being Preston Brooks'ed. Failing that, some Taiwanese or Korean legislative brawling...

Impeachment is a waste of time. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to vote to remove her and I bet we wouldn't even get all the 'Republicans'.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic
I would not do impeachment directly but launch an impeachment inquiry which can be done at the committee level. The advantage is that it pierces the separation of powers doctrine and allows Congress to essentially go on a fishing expedition to collect information as to whether impeachment is warranted or not. So witnesses can be subpoened and forced to testify under oath (transactional immunity forces testimony without the 5th btw) about the back room dealings of these resistant judges like their finances, the calls from and ex parte meetings outside of court with interest groups, call logs, meeting agendas, etc. etc.
This is not random stochastic terrorism, these judges are picked in collusion with the clerk's office in these district courts and circuits in order to do what Eisen and his fellow lawfare types want them to do. Possibly even Eisen's group are writing orders, etc

Arguing that the SCOTUS order cleared an open path via amending the suits to complain of the newly-announced rule.
He seems to get some of these wrong, having too much deference to the process over the law.
Which being, if you recall, the original suit was an injunction against the USPS even drafting any rule.
SCOTUS said, "no standing, no harm yet."
Process focus says, "now there's a rule, now they can argue specific harm*."
Reality says, "what harm?"
Judge, showing her red ass, reluctantly agreed: What harm?
Until the rule goes into effect and until it is actually applied and until it actually harms someone--no standing.
* recall, the grievous and mortal harm alleged was that someone, somewhere, might think the rules means their vote isn't secret and could decide not to vote due to that worry.

What I recall is that "Congressional Delegation" including McIver showed up unannounced at the ICE facility, despite there being a procedure for such visits that includes notification in advance. They expected ICE to drop what they were doing and escort them around. And didn't group include some non-Congressional activists? It had every appearance of being an intentional confrontation staged as a publicity stunt.
The claims about the conditions inside sound like the actual conditions of the jailed Jan. 6 detainees. Unlike the Jan 6 people waiting over a year for a trial, the illegals can leave the facility any time by agreeing to go home.

Why is no one reporting on this? Literally my first time hearing about it. Not even independent media is talking about it. Don Lemon, Joy Reid, DL Hugley. I dont understand why.
It's called a chilling effect. The point is to make outlets afraid to talk about it. It's what fascism relies on.
She was there legally!! They want to imprison her for doing her job?? Is this why everyone in congress is so terrified?

It's more of the party identification ( D) that's the issue . I mean, Hung Cao is an immigrant from China who ran for Congress as an R and is now under secretary for the navy.

So do I. The unwashed hordes are still there even at 7 am. Maybe a different set of unwashed than they get at 10 am of 3 pm, but still, it's crowded.
There is one about half an hour's highway drive (at 45-60 mph) away, a pleasant excursion, and I go there fairly often.

During the '50's, I grew up in a neighborhood filled with those names. Mostly a Hungarian area with a few Slovak and Polish families. My mom and dad were 1st generation Americans, (Mom was Hungarian, Dad was Slovak) as were most of my friends' parents. And, yes, you had to have a sponsor AND some sort of employment lined up when the immigrants arrived. Those were a very proud people. They took whatever job they could to support themselves and their families. We had quite a few ethic churches in the area...Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, etc. Those are all mostly Hispanic now. And the food was wonderful.

To understand Roberts, you just need to know his ultimate goal is to maintain the power of the Courts themselves. He helped WRITE the rules these Judges use to create this Country Wide Injunctions... and he is supposed to be in charge of the Courts..
But if you look at virtually every decision he votes for, it perpetuates more and more power to the Courts.
Even the big win a few months ago that some Conservatives said was a yuge win... the one where a regulations rationale by a Fed Department would not be taken as writ... just gave the power to a Judge to decide.
2nd Amendment stuff? Rulings never actually take the choice away from Judges, because they are written very wishy washy.
Even the Abortion ruling... gave more leeway to more Judges to decide abortion issues, now at a State level.
It's all about the Power of the Court, which is why you will never see him reign in any of this crap

Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed Hoovers Up Donations from Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Hamas-Supporting Donors to Nazi Troll Dan Blizerian (While Claiming Jewish Safety Will be a Priority for Him)
Weird that his donors don't believe him.
What do they know that we don't? Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed collects donations from a terrorist member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a man so extreme Egypt sentenced him to life in prison:Another gift from Obama.
Egyptian sentenced to life for funding Muslim Brotherhood giving money to Abdul El-Sayed's U.S. Senate campaign
Mohamed Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood
An Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in prison in absentia by a Cairo court for his support of the Muslim Brotherhood is pumping cash into Abdul El-Sayed's campaign for U.S. Senate. Mohamed Soltan, the 38-year-old president of the American Committee for Middle East Rights, is funneling funds to El-Sayed's Abdul for U.S. Senate candidate committee as ACMER contributes to Fighting for Michigan PAC, the super PAC backing the former Wayne County health official. Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood who served as deputy minister of endowments for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Mohamed Soltan faced charges for aiding protests against the military coup that ousted Morsi, including funding for and membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, before launching a hunger strike that convinced former President Barack Obama's administration to demand his release in 2015.
After arguing to the West that the Muslim Brotherhood would not be authoritarian like the Iranian regime, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed signed a statement calling for a "purge" of the "media and police."
In April 2015, an Egyptian court senenced the then 27-year-old to life in prison following what Soltan described as an unjust trial, according to NBC News. He was released in May 2015 at Obama's request and returned to the U.S., where he works as an international investment advisor and human rights activist. Salah Soltan [his father, whom he worked with -- ace] was sentenced to death and life in prison in separate trials for inciting murder as one of more than 50 leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood who set up a "control room" to direct "violence and chaos" amid the 2013 military coup. Federal Election Commission reports show ACMER sent Fighting for Michigan PAC $25,000 on June 12, following two contributions from Mohamed Soltan to Abdul for U.S. Senate on April 15. The individual contribution constitutes the maximum permitted by federal election law. Other ACMER officials also contributed to El-Sayed's effort to become the first Muslim Senator in U.S. history. ... The donations follow a documented history of El-Sayed supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. In January 2011, El-Sayed penned a column for the Huffington Post titled "Why the U.S. Should Support the Protestors in Egypt," suggesting Americans should back the uprising that led to Muslim Brotherhood control and Morsi's presidency. ...
Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned just weeks after El-Sayed's column, laying the groundwork for the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi, who became president in June 2012.
... The statement called on Morsi to "purge the media and the police as soon as possible," and "strongly reject these voices that appeal to America and Europe to take a position against the Egyptian regime."
The donors to Dan Blizerian, an actual Nazi who claims to be a "conservative," is also a big fan of the Islamist. Gee I wonder what they might have in common?
Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed is now claiming that he doesn't support the Green New Deal. I guess it's not popular in Michigan. Although he's deleted many of his tweets and old YouTube rants, people saved many of them. Below, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed states his emphatic ALL-CAPS support of the Green New Deal he says he doesn't support.
EXCLUSIVE: Multiple Abdul El-Sayed Donors Also Gave Thousands to Hitler-Praising, Jew-Hating Dan Bilzerian's Congressional Run
The far-left El-Sayed and right-wing, antisemitic troll Bilzerian have absolutely no political views in common except for a strong opposition to Israel
More than a dozen donors to the Hitler-praising, neo-Nazi congressional campaign of Dan Bilzerian have also contributed to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed--in many cases spreading thousands of dollars between the two candidates, the Washington Free Beacon found. Bilzerian, a far-right social media influencer with a trust fund, and El-Sayed, a far-left epidemiologist, have no policy overlap except strong opposition to AIPAC and Israel, but their donors include a man who has equated Zionism to Nazism and a Texas subprime auto loan entrepreneur who also threw his weight behind Israel-bashing Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. The overlapping donor list suggests that El-Sayed's virulently anti-Israel rhetoric appeals to the kind of Muslim-American donors who also buy into Bilzerian's hateful Jew-baiting and offensive trolling. The most significant Bilzerian and El-Sayed donor is Ibrahim Awad, who has given more than $19,500 between both candidates, Federal Election Commission records show. That haul included a $12,651.88 jumbo gift to the Bilzerian Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee. The figure is above the legal limit and potentially a campaign finance violation if passed along to Bilzerian's campaign committee. ...
"Zionism is Nazism. And history will remember every single person who calls themselves a 'Proud Zionist' as a Proud Racist, Genocide Enabler," Awad said in an X post from March 2025. ... None of these dual donors other than Awad responded to requests for comment. While Bilzerian's political career is over for now, El-Sayed is ascendant. The progressive will face Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election, with polls showing a tight race. Neither El-Sayed nor Bilzerian responded to requests for comment.

Is that a specific interview or just standard "journalistic" practice you're referring to?
I'd love to see an interviewer pin a subject down to the ground until they admit they don't know, they were wrong, or they were lying, but live interviewers always want to keep it moving and get to their questions. I think it would be better tv and more dramatic to get to the bottom of just one question no matter what.

Blizerian is a rich trust-fund baby who got his social media start with phony hyper-masculine screeds about women, cars, gambling, and being ultra-Chaddish.
Very obvious overcompensating. He's about as "right" as Nick Fuentes is. And probably sucked as many dicks.

Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey’s Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday.
“The charged conduct … is unambiguously non-legislative,” 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee.
McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall.

Not likely to fly there. Just like Rep Jefferson's stashing cash in his official offices did not ultimately protect him from being charged with bribery. And bribery is a lot closer to 'legislative activity' than interfering with law enforcement.
Democrats used to actually have at least respectably good lawyers appointed as judges, DEI Democrats with its racial spoils approach to nominations has pretty much destroyed that.

Cooper looks like he's doing fine in NC, but NC polling in summer is notoriously bad. Cooper is polling like Cunningham did (actually a tad behind) in 2020 before Cunningham lost to Tillis.
And, I'm going to be honest, I haven't seen a single pro-Cooper thing yet. I've gotten a dozen mailers blaming him for crime. He left office with Helene a complete mess and him a complete no-show. Iryna's death is pinned on him.
And the party registrations of the state have gotten A LOT more Republican since he last ran in 2020. He won by 250,000 votes in 2020. There were 400,000 more Ds than Rs at the time. There are now 10,000 more Rs than Ds.
I think there's a better chance that Whatley wins by Trump 2024 margins in the state than just about anything else.

Technically, he can't just keep the money for purely personal use. But there are so many loopholes to the "rule" that he effectively can. There's a reason why so many dead-bang losers stay in races and keep running even though they have no chance. It's because they want to raise as much money as possible so they can keep it.

This is fucking insane and at this point anyone parroting this shit is complicit. No democrats needs to "denonuce" or "distance themselves" from Hasan Piker because Republicans or corporate media says so. Go on the attack, there's shitloads of stuff to turn against republicans. Don't give in to this discussion.
Why does every Democrat need to be grilled about their stances on a fucking Twitch streamer? Nobody’s asking every Republican about Asmongold.
El-Sayed campaigned with this fascist fuck for months. There is zero chance he can distance himself now. You campaign with a guy who calls jews inbreds, you reap the consequences. Political ads are going to hammer this to death. Get ready to see El-Sayed and Piker together constantly.

Major Jewish donors in Michigan threatened to fundraise for Rogers if El-Sayed won.
The Jewish donors did the fundraiser.
White working class voters won't turn out for El-Sayed. There was a clear racial preference for blacks against El-Sayed in the primary, so that turnout should be down, too.
Plus, Harmeet Dhillon has made it clear that she's prioritizing Michigan as a location to watch and place election monitors from the DOJ this November.

Hakeem and several other 'Democrats' distance themselves from Piker, but certainly not El-Sayed & several other communist clowns.

This sews that up nicely and the dots connected make sense. Root cause is Hamas.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 26, 2026 01:28 PM (hzuYO)
I think the root cause of American "Antifa" is European revcoms, who hate International Jewry (under the codenames "banksters" and "bougies") almost as much as Muslims do. So, while Italian communists of course take their own ideological progeny in Antifa as clients, they similarly find Iran-sponsored Hamas copacetic and simpatico to work with. But no one had to lead the Europeans to Jew-hatred; they were already there.

Maybe it would be a clever maneuver to sacrifice one senate seat and ALLOW Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed to WIN, so that in all future election (for at least the next six years) we can point to him as proof positive that the Democrat Party is the party of Islamic extremism, Jew-hate and communist insanity. He'll be attached to the Dems like a ball and chain around their ankle. We let him, win, and in so doing he'll be the last Dem ever elected to the Senate, with voters scared off the Dems forever.
If we can still keep the Senate 51-49 and allow this guy to be on their team, it could be the best thing that ever happened.

Midterm polling sucks generally as it becomes a lot more difficult to determine who will vote and who will not. Just like Michigan--will blacks vote for the Muzzies, white union members, etc. The GOP has less of a problem there as I think few white GOP males or females want a nasty critter like Sayed in the Senate.

In Leaked Court Transcript, Gay Furry Assassin Tyler Robinson's Lawyers Denounce Online "Conspiracy Theorists" and "Crazies" Pushing Insane Claims
He objects to some mention in the prosecution's motions about conspiracy theories. I guess the prosecution was drawing a negative inference about the defense, based on the insanity of Tyler Robinson's defenders. The Gay Furry Assassin's lawyers say "we're not talking to the crazies."
"There's a reference to, you know, unstable people coming to the courthouse, to conspiracy theorists saying things online. We're all aware of that. I mean, I don't know what the court has read. It's none of my business. I've received some wacky phone calls and emails, people telling me what they think happened here. It's noise. We're not litigating this case in the press. We're not talking to crazies," the transcript read.

The only crazies who showed up at the courthouse and who spread crazy conspiracies are TPUSA's propagandists who were invited to come by Erika. Those crazies were spreading lies about seeing video in HD 4k That was so clear you could see Tyler's face, see him taking the shot, etc., which were completely made up lies.

One scientist who was intimately involved said something that has stuck with me. He claimed that insanity is "contagious", not in the epidemiological sense, but through association. I don't think that's too controversial really. But he also maintained that once "caught", it is indeed heritable. The person making this claim was not what I would consider an honorable individual necessarily, but interesting just the same.
"It didn't work (so we only ran the program for over 20 years?) and we're really sorry, and we'll never do it again". Uh-huh.

That's a misuse of 'heritable'. Sure if you get insane tendences by association, your kids are in a close association with you and are very likely to pick it up as well, but that still is just an environmental/associaitonal link.

No one had heard of Arday in the wider culture 2 months ago.
Then his story blew up, he resigned, and he killed himself in a matter of weeks.
And thousands of black people came out to protest his death in London. He wasn't some major celebrity. He was a nobody that got minor boosts from the BBC before he became international news because he was a serial fabulist.

I suspect it was funded astroturf ... which I suspect is also true of the Clancy supporters.
It's just that it's one thing to show up to support a black commie who killed himself. It's another to show up to support a stone-cold murderer who killed her three young kids and blame ... the husband.
At this point, any time I see any leftwing protest I assume it's organized and funded.

It's as good of a theory as hers!
I wish someone would put her in a straight jacket, force her to listen, and explain to her that the Furry confessed to his parents, threatened suicide, was taken to a family friend LEO. Who then took him to the police for the Miranda Act and to be booked.
He also, at the same time, in writing, confessed to his gay lover, both in text and on paper. Confessed to his Furry Group online. Used his grandfather's rifle.
Yet none of this is enough for Nostrils. It has to be a conspiracy.
Imagine, if you will, going through the Twilight Zone of life thinking this way. Paranoid. Probably vaginal pruritus
from going commando in her Furry Costume (I am guessing a lioness).
Lying bug eyed at night in fear next to the poor man she married (altho he may be locked into another bedroom for his own sanity and safety with the kids).

Kaufman never made me laugh, one time. Ever. At all.

Even that stupid shit where he was wrestling women wasn't remotely funny.
He was a talent free hack that somehow hollywood felt they needed to shove him down my throat.

In Comedy, people have different tastes like they do in music. Andy was out there but so were Ernie Kovacs and Lenny Bruce, Peter Sellers, etc. Same for Norm MacDonald, Redd Foxx, Buddy Hackett, or Bill Cosby, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, etc.
In fact, that is partly why you see so few brilliant female comedians--you have to get way out of your and your audience's comfort zone to be fundamentally strange. And that appeals to some and doesn't appeal to others. And sometimes even that can change based on context and people surrounding you.
Same reason that some sitcoms use laugh tracks to cue you to laugh along.

There are some studies out there that indicate, at least in earthworms, etc., that trauma or bliss in one creature's memory can be heritable via being encoded in DNA.
And from that, along with some genealogical studies, they have found some families have a great deal of trauma over the generations. So they conclude at that a correlation exists but no one can actually point to how that mechanism in earthworms might be tested in humans.

I am deeply saddened by the death of a New Yorker in City custody at a jail on Rikers Island early this morning. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve this loss.
We do not yet know the cause of death, but we do know that too many New Yorkers have died on Rikers Island. The Department of Correction and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
Our administration is fully committed to the critical work of creating better conditions in our city’s jail system and closing Rikers Island as quickly as possible.

One of my older brothers bought that album. Or maybe it was "Toledo Window Box". My mother was practically apoplectic. "That is an Adult Record etc etc!!". My dad was trying not to laugh, and trying not to end up sleeping on the couch.

The nasty, dirty little secret is that parents killing their kids (filicide) is much more common that people think.
If I were to ask you how many kids are killed every year by their parents, what would your answer be?
Probably no more than a few, maybe a dozen, right?
The real answer is over 500 -- and that's probably underreported.

We have deprecated life in this country and the West to the point Canada and Belgium are killing more people by euthansia than are being murdered in the streets. Several states, MA being the most recent, celebrate killing babies up to full term now. Some ethicists now claim that even children should be able to be killed. In essence, children are property just like in Dred Scott.

I don't care if she was on a ton of SSI's, etc. For starters she is a RN and could have figured out drug interactions.
She researched "ways to kill." Premeditation. Figured out how long her husband would be gone that day she killed them and jumped out the window.
I have no mercy to give someone who kills innocents.
As far as the insanity plea, she managed to fool others, which makes her a psychopath like Bundy or other serial killers who act normal and murder.
The neighbors and coworkers always comment that the serial killer seemed nice and was quiet.
Her mother and sister said she admitted to wanting to harm her children three months prior, and was acting paranoid. I have to wonder why those around her didn't do anything. Her brief psych rehab should have kept her after she checked herself in. However, psychopaths can certainly appear normal and are intelligent enough to fool professionals.
She needs to remain in prison for the rest of her life.

Target issued a public apology for the offensive children's costume on Monday, saying that they were 'deeply sorry' for the oversight and had removed the item.
Despite the apology, Davis, 61, slammed Target in a fiery post on the social media app Threads.
'Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above,' the EGOT winner wrote.
'These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people,' she continued.

Now fast forward to the U.S.A. in the 2020s. It's groomers this, and groomers that. Little kids. These are not organic, grass roots power to the people phenomenon. I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist, but I am a card carrying Conspiracy Factist.

And it is all a pack of lies. Most serial killers have a long history of evil behavior as do in fact, most violent criminals. They start out small and then blossom into sociopaths. Irina's killer in Charlotte came from such a horrendous family of sociopaths and killers.

O’Brien’s music is pretty much the only reason to watch the Rocky Horror “sequel”; and his music and Christopher Lee are about the only reason to watch The Return of Captain Invincible.
He was one of the actors in Dark City, and supposedly (according to the commentary track) he made up music for it just as a lark and would sing it on set while waiting. That would probably be amazing to hear.

So, here's the way it works... Tim Curry was English, but born in Egypt and has vaguely Semitic looks. He's an agent of Hamas, obviously, which he told me during one of his friend-dreams, where he can finally visit me like he never had the time for when he was alive. But he's a double agent.
I was shocked, but he's my friend, so I listened as he told me that he had just had a long conversation - eons long, for those of us still on earth - with Barack Obama.
And he said that they were the ones who killed Heath Ledger. They had to do it for the jihad, he said.
As soon as I heard that, I knew I had to tell everyone about the jihad plot.

Marco Rubio Sanctions Italy-Based Tech "Collective" Making Tools for Hamas; Also Reveals Portland Antifa Shops There Too
Dude's balls are so big he could play for the WNBA.
EXCLUSIVE: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital. "Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati -- a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world." Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective's services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo. "These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks -- all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law," says the State Department's memo.
A/I Collective has officially been deemed a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The designation bars Americans and U.S. financial institutions from doing business with the group and freezes any assets it has under U.S. jurisdiction. Violators can face civil or criminal penalties. The memo identifies Portland-based Rose City Antifa, known for its violent rioting and destruction, as one of the U.S. groups that relied on A/I Collective tools and services.
Rose City Antifa is listed in the memo alongside a media organization that the State Department says uses A/I Collective tools to disseminate information to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is proliferating inside the United States, Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and others. The memo also accuses the militant abortion-rights group "Jane's Revenge" -- which declared "open season" on pro-life organizations and threatened escalating attacks after the leaked Supreme Court draft signaling Roe v. Wade would be overturned -- of using the collective's services. The State Department memo says the collective provides its services exclusively to left-wing extremists, screening users for ideological alignment before allowing them access to its tools.

"To sanction" looks both ways (like "to table"):
1 give official permission or approval for (an action): only two treatments have been sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration.
2 impose a sanction or penalty on: foreigners in France illegally should be sent home, their employers sanctioned and border controls tightened up.

Feel free to remind them just how completely INCOMPETENT, IMBECILIC, & IMPOTENT most of them are to run a state where ALL SEVENTY-SEVEN (77) COUNTIES went for Trump less than 2 years ago and yet all they could manage last night was a 50% pass rate on 2 state questions while fielding a Governor runoff between a Never-Trumper and a mess of a candidate that at times resembles Sleepy Joe despite being 15 years younger.

The State Department offered no specific details on the training or its timeline. Officials said the initiative aims to help consular officers screen out applicants deemed likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits. It is also intended to ensure evaluation of visa applicants comprehensively and consistently.
"A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

The public charge element of immigration has been law for decades, actually more than a century.
It was reinforced in the 1996 immigration act.
But admin after admin has simply refused to enforce it.
Our problem was never the need for more laws. It has always been for an executive who would actually enforce the laws on the books.

I think Ossoff is still the way to go. A progressive from the south who can resonate with both liberal New England voters and more conservative southern voters. He could win in a landslide election if he ran
a Beshear-Ossoff ticket looks very similar to the Clinton-Gore ticket. A popular moderate governor from a southern state, the running mate is a liberal Senator from another southern state? Obviously a pipe-dream, because democratic primary voters will not elect a ticket that doesn't include an african-american or at least an Obama-alumni.
Sadly, it may still be a tough fight. A not-insignificant number of people think Democrats legitimately want to raise prices on things and make their kids gay as core policy positions.
Can we not choose the uninspiring middle of the road candidate for once? Please? Medicare for all who want it is not good enough. Drop the caveats and qualifiers. Give us Medicare for all.

The three were escorted from Secret Service headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Monday and formally designated “do not admit,” meaning they are barred from entering agency facilities, two sources told RealClearPolitics, which first reported on the suspensions. One of those sources said both the FBI and CIA are participating in the inquiry, pointing to a probe with more weight than a routine internal personnel matter.
All three employees are based in the communications office.

Biden sold the first four pieces for more than $300,000 each and stiffed the artist.
She's asking for the $240,000 he owes her in commission plus $10 million in punitive damages.

The Italian Democrat Party went from major player in Italian politics in the 2000s to essentially a rump party today (they're second biggest, but first and third are right-leaning and coalition together in the Parliament government).

They, generally, have supported secure borders recently. They love Obama's fake stats as "deporter in chief", and use it to say it can be done more effectively, and with more compassion, than Trump's ICE roundups. It doesn't work, though, because enough voters lived through the Obama years and know it's BS.
The Tea Party was just fed up Republicans trying to get the party to actually enact policy the party was supposed to support. The current Dem issue are multiple factions that hate America and capitalism, know the Dem party can assist in destroying them, but the core of the party doesn't support those things. It's an actual internal power struggle.

Grocery prices declined 0.3% in July. Actual deflation.
And this news came out in the middle of the burrito debate.
But Trump hasn't made prices the same as in 2019, so I have to vote Democrat to punish him and teach him a lesson.

The Tea Party was just fed up Republicans trying to get the party to actually enact policy the party was supposed to support. The current Dem issue are multiple factions that hate America and capitalism, know the Dem party can assist in destroying them, but the core of the party doesn't support those things. It's an actual internal power struggle.

The Biden years destroyed the Democrat party's ability to even begin to argue that it wants closed borders.
The images of caravans of people streaming over the Rio Grande. The sudden influx of Haitians in small towns in Ohio. Democrats lost the immigration debate for at least a generation because of that.
They can start going closed borders now, but no one will believe them for a long time.

It sounds OK in theory. You centralize your equipment and don't have to buy, store, and maintain the ovens at each store. Less square footage, fewer employees, lower maintenance costs, etc.
HOWEVER, like many optimizations, it misses the human element. People like smelling fresh cooked doughnuts when they walk in. They like their doughnuts to be warm and newly made. They simply taste better right out of the oven.

And the "art" he produced took a certain amount of color theory and composition, something I think was always beyond him.

There are only two plausible paths to a not-Kamala.
The first is Kamala simply deciding to not run. This is the hope that most white progressives have. That she'll be too embarrassed or tied to tradition to run again despite her constantly signalling since November of 2024 that she was going to run again.
The second is a billionaire who can spend to break media strangleholds on his message and says things that the establishment won't allowed to be said. Things like "open borders was a bad idea, and Biden was a bad president" or "the racialization of our party by Obama was the greatest blunder in modern politics" who then promises "Medicare for All, but only Americans."
I can't imagine anyone who would fit the second.

60.
60 years. Three generations.
Trump is the first president since the passage of the 60s immigration act to actually try to close the border meaningfully, and he's doing it after 60 total years of effective open borders and 4 years of mass importation.
But he didn't fix everything in 3 weeks, so nothing is happening. Gotta vote for the party still advocating for open borders to teach the GOP a lesson. Remember, the people abandoning the GOP in 2006 because of the amnesty effort led to the GOP going hardline immigration right afterward, right?

I'm not going to suggest that FedEx or UPS are not without issues. But there is a reason the Post Office doesn't get a lucrative delivery contract for Frozen Steaks.
They do manage to deliver live Chicks (no jokes, pliz) and bait for fishing shops. But it's a close run thing.
You simply have to have people with a sense of urgency and dedication and attention to detail and all that stuff. Not some POS who tries to do as little as possible and is basically unfirable unless they kill somebody, and even then I'm not too sure. Then they go into Management, because they couldn't hack it out on the street. Nice, huh?

THEN, state politicians fight tooth an nail to keep federal auditors from reviewing the appropriations....while millions, potentially billions are leaving the US via international air travel....A large portion of which likely returns into ;the ActBlue process to distribute as under threshold grass roots donations by unknowing contributors.

Goose Donuts, by contrast, remains more of a mythical rival—perhaps imagining fluffier yeast rings, honking good glazes, and a slightly more grounded (or waterfowl-proud) vibe. While Duck delivers instant gratification and playful rubber-duck branding, Goose might lean into richer textures and a quieter flock appeal.
In the end, Duck currently owns the real-world pond with over a hundred locations. Goose stays the underdog in imagination. Either way, both sound delicious—just watch for feathers in your frosting.

She’s been living in her donut world
I bet she’s never had a plain-cake guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for a Ducktown girl
She’s been living in her glaze-and-swirl
As long as anyone with sweet tooth can
And now she’s looking for a sprinkle man
That’s what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her sugar dough
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She’ll see I’m not so tough
Just a little soft in the middle
And all she has to do is call
And I’ll be right there by her side
A rubber-duckin’ ride
Ducktown girl

I'm not even a black hat hacker, but I could spin up something like this pretty quickly using freely available open source software and third-tier hosting providers. The tech is easy, the hard part is opsec - short of using stolen credit cards or Bitcoin to pay for the hosting, there's going to be a trail leading back to you. Alternately you set up a bunch of small physical data centers where all traffic is encrypted in transit and at rest, and do it in a country where neither the ISP nor the government cares that all your in/out traffic is encrypted.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Defends His Support for Surgical Mutilations of Children By Asking Jesse Watters, "Are You Circumcised?"
I missed this horrorshow yesterday.
Woke 1.0 was Socialist Radical Islamism. Woke 2.0 is Socialist Radical Gay Islamism. NY Post:
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got extremely personal with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday -- asking if he is circumcised -- during a bizarre defense of sex change surgery for minors. "Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed bluntly asked the "Jesse Watters Primetime" host, after arguing that the government shouldn't get involved in transgender medical procedures for children. Watters was floored by the question. "Jesse, are you?" El-Sayed pressed. "Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question -- doctor," Watters responded. El-Sayed, seemingly convinced that he ended the debate with Watters, suggested: "You probably should want to move on." "Circumcision is different than castration!" Watters fired back. Undeterred, El-Sayed argued that it's a "problem" that Watters believes the government should step in to outlaw sex change surgeries for minors but not circumcisions. "I'm just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling," the former public health official told Watters. "So if you really want to bring that up, you can ... I just think you guys are really selective about these things." Watters described El-Sayed's position as "wacky" and "sick." "Abdul, Michigan's not going for that. That is sick stuff," he said. The Fox host followed up by asking El-Sayed if he was in favor of "boys playing in girls' sports," which irritated the Senate hopeful. "You have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan," he said. "You can play this game if you want," El-Sayed fumed. "I just want to understand what you're getting at here." "I'm getting at whether you think men should play in women's sports ... it's a big issue," Watters asked again. El-Sayed dodged the question, arguing: "At the end of the day, the decision of who gets to play what sports ought to be decided by the people who govern sports." He then called it "insane" that Watters would pose him such a question. "I'm running for US Senate," he said. "Jesse, this is insane." Earlier in the interview, El-Sayed refused to say how much his proposal to socialize the healthcare system would cost; would not answer a question about the size of the US budget; and declined to explain why he allegedly suggested the "NFL was racist."Abdulrahman also stuck to his call to abolish ICE. His new hustle, to reassure less radical gay Islamists, is that INS would handle deportations, but obviously he wants to abolish ICE to stop all deportations so no, INS would not be allowed to continue ICE's deportations.
First, INS no longer exists. It was combined with US Customs and became ICE. ICE does everything INS used to do, except with an actual budget Posted by: UGAdawgDoes the Radical Gay Islamist Abudlrahman even hear himself? The NY Post's editorial board says he's so deep in the "weird zone" he has no idea he's weird at all.
El-Sayed and his advisers thought they'd come up with a great way to answer questions about surgically removing children's private parts: Explain that it's just like circumcision. Seriously: Fox News host Jesse Watters brought up outlawing sex-change surgery for kids, and El-Sayed replied, "Are you circumcised?" He then airily advised, "You probably should want to move on," proceeding to declare that anyone refusing to see that both are simply "surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling" is just being "really selective about these things." Nobody not totally blinded by ideology would equate circumcision, a procedure recommended by most medical professionals because of its health benefits, with removal of male sexual organs -- a procedure utterly lacking any medical justification. (The supposed scientific support for treating juvenile gender dysphoria with transitions was purely an insider con game.) Yet El-Sayed is so deep in the weird zone that he thinks this is a winning argument: Nobody should trust his judgment on anything. Of course, the health policy he most wants to talk about is also divorced from reality: His campaign centers on pushing Medicare for All -- a scheme to impose the socialized medicine disasters of Britain and Canada on the United States, which would not only kick everyone off their current insurance but also require roughly doubling US taxation. A sane party would run screaming from a candidate like this. Especially, of course, since (as the bizarre take on circumcision suggests) he also brings antisemitism to the table. El-Sayed's hatred of Jews has been blatant all campaign long, including his comment on the attempted mass murder of Jewish kids in his own state: "Hurt people hurt people" -- rationalizing the Lebanese perp's attempted atrocity by waving at Israeli fighting in Lebanon. Plus his refusal to disavow his regular campaign surrogate, streamer Hasan Piker -- even after Piker just threatened American Jews that if they support Israel "someone will come around and take action" against them. El-Sayed only issued a statement saying he disagrees with that comment, and didn't even name Piker.The Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman's dodge is to constantly say, "Why aren't we talking about gas prices?" Well, Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman, the left spent all of Biden's term pushing transgenderism and forcing schools to trans children behind their parents' backs. Why did you focus on this instead of talking about "gas prices" under Biden? The left is constantly pulling this "Why is this so important to you?!" hustle. They burn down all social norms in order to implement their bizarre, degenerate sexual gnostic view of the world. The subordinate all notions of governance and democratic consent to force these lunatic ideas on the public. But then, when the public is finally alarmed enough to begin to push back against the insane changes the left is foisting on them, they say the same thing every single time: "What's the big deal? Why is this so important to you? Why are you so obsessed by our decade-long obsession with transing your children? What are you, a weirdo for focusing on these issues which we are insisting on but which we would like to win without a single word of dissent?"
Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed asks Fox News host Jesse Watters if he is circumcised on live TV.

From now on, it should become a meme that, whenever you want to change the subject, ask if the other person is circumcised.
"Excuse me sir, I think you just shoplifted a bottle of vodka."
"Are you circumcised?"
or
"It says here on your resume that you graduated from Harvard, but when we called them, they have no record of you."
"Are you circumcised?"

Too bad there aren't any sharp media types. Watters response here was pathetically weak.
This "doctor" should have been keelhauled in detail about his understanding of medicine, that he apparently thinks a routine procedure is the same as a "sex change" mutilation.
Of course eviscerating the idiot "doctor" on the typical vapid Dem slogans of things for "working people" would far beyond Watters' ability. Whatever, presumably the useless Rogers will win easily.

I'd love it if Democrats lose the midterms in some definition of the word (El-Sayed losing in MI would be a big indicator of a "loss") and the establishment realizes that open borders is a really bad policy issue to push in the world where Trump's DOJ is actually working to secure elections.
And then the DSA would be pissy.

Don't forget the tens of millions of blacks the Muslims took from Africa. They tended to be castrated on the way back to Saudi Arabia so that they would never father children among the Arab population. It was a not a gentle procedure and many of them died from it.

I'm guessing celebrities die in the exact same distribution of calendar days as anyone wealthy enough to be protected from the elements, excluding days on or directly after major industry events where lots of drugs are passed around.
But every so often, some real, honest-to-G-d celebrity that a broad cross section of society knows and loves - like Dolly Parton, for instance - passes away. The media frenzy surrounding these events creates a public fixation on the dead celebrity, and the media sharks smell it and start circling a couple other dying celebrities to write obituaries about.

What is the point of going on Fox News as a democratic candidate? 98% of their viewers will never vote for a democrat, and they’re constantly trying to goad you into saying something that they can clip and use against you
It's to signal to the Democratic base that he's a fighter who is willing to go into enemy territory and stake out his claims. It's what the Democrat base is baying for.
Good. Democratic candidates and politicians need to start treating all of these "woke", "transgender" and other conservative talking points with both contempt and sarcastic humour.
Who the fuck cares what other people do to themselves. If it’s not dangerous or impinging on my rights it’s none of my fucking business. Fox News is all straw man arguments and asking the most loaded questions ever.

Thats the thing, there is no arguing with these people. There is only the question of who benefits from how the open war part is timed, and from who kicks it off.
Islam is by self-definition acting in bad faith at all times. So is progressivism - in 1917 they fully transitioned to "we are right and everyone else dies, as soon as we can arrange it". All leftist talk is a placeholder while they maneuver to kill us.

He was ready with that "are you circumcised" argument. He thunk and he thunk and he thunk, and that was the best he came up with. He was very proud of it.
Gay Penis-Obsessed Muslim thought it was a great response. He seemed shocked when Watters had an easy answer to it.
Also: there's a lot of resistance to routine circumcision today. I strongly suspect it's more Jew hate, but there's a pretty vocal opposition to circumcision even among men who have had it.

I expect we'll soon start to see opportunistic, power-hungry white, black, and Hispanic political quislings converting to Islam. Attempting to ride the wave of the Left's increasing love for anti-Semitism and the Religion of Peace. Getting on-board early in expectation of getting positions at the top of the pyramid. (They will not make it; they will be purged as non-True Believers if the Musselmen do take power here.)
This fad needs to be stamped-out now. Establishment Democrats won't do it, though. Islam is slowly becoming the largest threat to making the Constitution a suicide pact, using its non-discrimination tools.

So I can't figure it out. There are two possibilities:

or
2, he just gayballs.

You can push the gay shit for political purposes without being so enthusiastic about it that you do a whole video dancing like a twinkle-toes twink bacha bazi.
He's gayballz. It's still a big stigma in the Muslim community to be openly gay. In many of their countries, it's punishable by death.
So a lot of gay Muslims hide it. I very strongly suspect that El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, and Bombdaddy are all secretly gay. They look it, act like it, and all have very unconvincing fake wives or girlfriends. Just like Talacreepo and Spartacus Booker.

I think it's sort of a bad example though. Noticing that other people own the Roomba once you get one is a bit different than noticing the violent hijinks of a notorious Communist gang that's connected to a bunch of other Communist gangs, and cross-trained with a bunch of other Islamic gangs during a short period of time when all of these gangs are bombing industrial plant, hijacking airplanes and kidnapping political figures.
It's a bit more unusual and attention-grabbing than, say, a gray Mistibushi like the one you just bought.

The generic ballot keeps looking like it's going to be somewhere around D+3.
With the 2020 redraws and the redistricting wars earlier this year, Democrats probably need about a D+5 to win the House.
In 2018, The generic ballot was D+9. The GOP still won a net positive of 2 Senate seats.
Because Senate races drive turnout up to presidential levels in the states that have them and they're far less likely to experience turnout differential effects (not even Obama's team could reverse this in 2010 or 2014, and they were political geniuses, remember?).
This is why worrying about Texas is silly. MI is nominally a swing state, and the DOJ Civil Rights division has already announced poll watchers in key places for election day. Trump won the last statewide federal race, and the Senate GOP candidate barely lost. And now DOJ is looking at things.
Should be interesting. I'm not predicting a Rogers win, but...when major Jewish Michigan donors flip and fundraise for the Republican, something is happening.

RCP does not poll, what they do is average them and that average is affected by outlier polls which is why the Democrats do them. Every single media derived 'fact' is contaminated by purposeful deceit on behalf of Democrats. See Patrick Ruffini's work above.
And no, there is no political science evidence that shows the consistent move to teh GOP by election day that is not the result of contaminated outlier polling.
Has to do with de-trending data which I and some coauthors did on agenda setting project way back. Data errors should be random, not in one direction, if they are in a consistent direction, then the model is 'biased'. You can overcome it and get decent information from bias but that requires taking it into account in the first place.

Well, when all the polls suddenly "tighten" and move right after September, it'll be treated as a normal effect of people paying attention to politics all of a sudden, that if the election had been held in June that things would have been different.
Almost like summer polling is bullshit on its face if you have the assumption that not enough people are paying attention to politics.
My assumption is that no one gauges polling firms for how accurate their summer polls are, and even some of the polling firms (looking at you, Reuters) who tank their final polls year after year get treated with legitimacy. Because the entire industry is run by grifters and activists.

Unlike Islam, Christianity has been studied by actual scholars and historians for nearly two millennia now. The Bible is perhaps the most amazing compilation of written documents in all of world history.
Under Islam, an oral history was codified into a single document and anyone who challenged its authenticity was told to shut up or they were killed. No actual scholarship was allowed.

RCP averages were fine initially until the Democrats and their associated polling types purposefully degraded them and they do that by giving outlier polls with ridiculous results so that the average of polls (which is not large to begin with) is moved toward the extreme outlier D favoring poll.

Black turnout should be down (there seems to be an observable pattern that they don't like the DSA direction in election results, like in NYC mayoral results). Rural white Democrats won't turn out for El-Sayed.
And the common refrain over the past few months in polling vs. end results is a massive miscalculation of the white vote.
Essentially, they're massively oversampling white, educated progressives and undersampling white rurals. Happened in WI and MI both.
And if you want to believe the TX polls, you have to believe that Talarico is going to lose whites by about 15 points when the average loss in the demo for Ds in the state recently is about 40.
The polls this year are...really fucked.

A good friend and co worker was brought in to create a new university poll. He had previously been polling supervisor for the Roper poll in CT. By 2000, AAPOR already knew that polling was essentially becoming broken--the old Random Digit Dialing now produced out of area code respondents (cell phones), response rates kept dropping as telemarketing, junk, and scam calls escalated, and socially acceptable answers made answers suspect from the people they did manage to reach.
State polling was the first to become very unreliable because it becomes very difficult and expensive to actually oversample minorities and keep non response bias to a minimum. National polls are still a bit more reliable than state polling. But the polling community professionals knew the problem was coming even back during Gore v. Bush.

Some probably are.
Just random crap, generously assuming they're modeled on PVI and assumptions about turnout without any actual interviews with voters.
There are a handful of pollsters that do try, but they're labeled "Republican leaning" and dismissed by people even on our side like Trafalgar or Quantus.. But, trying isn't always succeeding, and they also get things wrong.
And yet, in it all, there remains the reality that if you put out bullshit that isn't an actual poll and say "48/48", you'll mostly likely be inside a reasonable margin of error like you had done something right in most contentious races.

Wednesday Morning Rant
In this breach, an outfit calling itself "Cyberleek" apparently targeted Take-Two and Rock Star and allegedly stole a playable version of the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto VI" game, which has been in development since 2018 and which is scheduled for release in November of this year. The method used for the alleged breach - hacking, insider leaking, etc. - is unknown. After the breach, Cyberleek started publishing various assets it claims are from the game, including maps, scenes, pre-rendered clips and, importantly, actual gameplay footage from an apparently recent pre-release build. Cyberleek continues to escalate with more leaks, more spoilers, its own memecoin and various calls to action.
For its part, the targeted companies have not confirmed the veracity of the leaks or commented publicly about the alleged breach, but they did issue DMCA takedown notices for the footage and have indicated that they are pursuing subpoenas against service providers like Microsoft and Discord in an effort to identify who Cyberleek is (or are) and to try to contain the leaks. Both of those would be unusual moves if the leaked assets were fake. That, combined with reports that the company is scrambling, indicate that what has been leaked is likely accurate. What makes this breach notable is that the demands are not for anything of monetary value, they are for a change in industrial and marketing behavior. Cyberleek's demands amount to, "stop pre-orders without physical media, eliminate pay-to-unlock functions of a game that are delivered with the core game content but paywalled unless the customer pays more, and ensure playability of games in single-player mode when your servers go dark." The threat is explicit: do these things, or the leaks will continue and will continue to erode the value of the product. These demands - particularly the final demand, involving offline playability - are not out of left field in the video game industry. Players tend to hate being nickled-and-dimed after shelling out for a game, and the problem of paid-for games going poof if the company fails or just shuts down its servers a few years down the line has led to a growing activist movement as it becomes more common. The main group associated with that activism has condemned the leaks and attempted hostage-taking, but the problem - and displeasure with the state of affairs - is not exactly new. Cyberleek's actions, however, mark an escalation. What makes this incident interesting is that it is a major example - perhaps the major example - of the use of cyber espionage tactics for non-political and non-financial purposes. These activities are usually about money (extortion), industrial advantage (stealing trade secrets), national advantage (intelligence activity) or political rebellion. It is not unknown for cyber espionage to be used for other purposes, but using it publicly in an attempt to degrade the value of a product in order to force industrial change is atypical. It is extremely unlikely that Take-Two and Rock Star will satisfy Cyberleek's demands, and I doubt that the value of "Grand Theft Auto VI" will erode enough to matter if this continues. When Cyberleek gets caught or when the game releases (whichever happens first), the press - and likely much of the industry - will move on and forget about this incident. The important part of this story isn't the specific players or purposes, but the use of these tactics in a modified way for an atypical purpose. Depending on how it goes, it may be a historical marker in the continuing evolution and expansion of the weaponization of data.Comments

I mean, yeah.
The game is going to make billions of dollars in the first week.
And the leakers are risking jail time in terms of decades.
The risk/reward is just wrong.
Still, an interesting case.

I remember when Palin made a comment about Obama (pre-PDT) in 2008 when the vile Left really loved doing swan dives on to their fainting couch.
The View came out and said she was mean and needed to apologize. So she essentially did and said she remembered a time when people could take a joke or something. Anyway once the apology was made, what did the Left do the next day? Did they congratulate her for owning up? Develop a strange new respect for her? Say they were satisfied she was not just heartless and mean but actually had a soul?
Nope. They came out and said she was weak.

The video game market long, long ago embraced no physical media, to be honest.
The vast majority of game purchases are online only downloads without physical media. The Steam storefront is one of the biggest gaming storefronts in the world, and it doesn't sell a single disc or USB drive with a game on it.
It's okay for indie developers to do it, in the gaming world's mind, but not for a AAA developer to do it.

I believe this is a situation similar to data centers. Pretty soon now, they're going to be made to understand that this behavior will not continue, or legislation will be passed forbidding it. At this point, all they're doing is alienating their customer base for a minor increment in short term profit.

The ownership versus license model does not depend on whether you are given a physical storage medium to hold the product. Almost all software -- including software on physical disks -- has been licensed property for decades. You do not own the software. You merely bought the right to use it.

This true of course, and you typically received a code to activate it. So far the only issue in most cases has been we are no longer going to support that version and so when the inevitable crash occurs you just won't be able to use it unless you really know how the guts of stuff works, which is true. I think some people also forget that when you download a song from a streaming service to your phone or computer, that service can still cut off your access to it, as opposed to purchasing a digital copy, which you can off load and store in whatever way you wish.

I would argue in some ways this did happen, but not in the big urban centers where force could be applied on people. But in smaller areas mask mandates were being ignored by the summer, and anyone trying the shame game didn't enjoy the response they received. Was it as quick as we would have liked? No, but it did start and I would argue there were a few politicians whose careers were ended because they didn't notice the ground shifting under their feet.

Why? Probably because they knew they would need it to train AI. Think of all the material enforced digital records gave that.
You knew they wanted to datamine the heck out of our records for all sort of things.
Side note: did you know the AMA owns the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes used for identify and bill medical issues/treatment in electronic records? If they don't create a code for something, then it doesn't exist in our healthcare system.

The markets are dominated by white progressives.
So, they live on hopium from that perspective more than anything.
And they have no special knowledge not available to the public. They're also prone to manipulation because the markets are so small (some of these bigger things are like $2 million total, which a campaign with $100 million on hand could probably swing easily, most are something like $100,000).
Betting markets are stupid.

A few years ago, I needed to be able to edit PDF docs while working from home. So I bought the last version of Adobe Acrobat that was not a subscription. A couple weeks ago, I started getting an unclosable pop up on my computer telling me the Acrobat I had was no longer usable, and I needed to update it. When I launched it, sure enough Acrobat loaded and then exited.
When I went to the uninstall app, I found two adobe installations. One was Acrobat, and the other was a monitor of some sort. So I deleted the monitor that had been stealth-installed. Acrobat now works just fine again.

Here you go...Your answer provided by Good Olde-Fashioned American Movies:
'The ending of The Grapes of Wrath features Rose of Sharon breastfeeding a starving man, symbolizing charity and human compassion in the face of despair. This powerful image highlights the themes of suffering and hope amidst the struggles of the Joad family during the Great Depression.'

BTW, despite all the inevitable boob jokes, breast feeding a starving person used to be seen as an act of survival and mercy. At the end of "Grapes of Wrath' Rose breast feeds Joad to save his life. It was all she had to give in her grief amid disasters. Some of the public and critics were outraged which surprised Steinbeck who saw the act as utterly natural and generous.

The couple are thought to have travelled with the children on a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury long-range business jet, from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.
They chartered the jet with Planet Nine Private Air, a California-based private aircraft operator. Hiring it is believed to cost about $12,000 (£9,000) per hour of flight time.
The family are understood to have been given no police protection for their arrival, amid ongoing questions over whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security.
The Sussexes - who are also believed to be bringing their dogs Mia and Pula across the Atlantic - are now setting up their home in the UK. They plan to live as an “international” family, keeping their homes in California and Portugal.

Rather than following convention by creating seven separate panels, Caravaggio compressed all seven corporal works of traditional Catholic mercy into a single, chaotic, nocturnal Neapolitan street scene:
Feed the hungry & Visit the imprisoned: A woman named Pero secretly breastfeeds her imprisoned father, Cimon, referencing the classical Roman Charity motif.
Give drink to the thirsty: The biblical figure Samson drinks water from the jawbone of an ass.
Shelter the homeless: A pilgrim wearing a scallop shell on his hat asks an innkeeper for a place to stay.
Clothe the naked & Visit the sick: Saint Martin of Tours cuts his own cloak in half to clothe a shivering, crippled beggar lying on the ground.
Bury the dead: In the dark background, two men carry a shrouded corpse out into the night, with only the feet visible.

The Morning Report — 8/ 26 /26
Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Saturday that his country is “at war” with the United States after trade talks collapsed.Well, maybe this fool is actually on to something, perhaps not quite in the way he thinks.
A new report is warning that Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks have embedded themselves across the Canadian government, charities, and universities, raising concerns about the influence of Islamist organizations within the country’s democratic institutions. . . The findings come as the Muslim Brotherhood itself has faced increasing scrutiny from the U.S. government. In January, the Treasury Department designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches of the organization as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. In July, the administration sanctioned a senior Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood official whom Treasury accused of helping finance Hamas’ military wing.And so as our government has correctly identified the MB and its allies as a threat to our own domestic security, and as it is aligned if not partially or substantially funded by Iran, well the response, at least from my own perspective, is obvious, especially considering that Carney himself loudly and openly declared Canada to be at war with the United States. I believe there are still a number of active airbases located at or very near our northern border. I'm not saying we should turn Ottawa into a glass parking lot, but an overflight of a few B2's or B52's might raise a few pulses, so to speak. At the very least maybe it would teach this yammering schmuck to choose his words carefully. What a putz, but the danger posed by Islam especially now at home is as plain as day. Closer to home there's still California that is a concrete albatross around the neck of America, and will drown us if the Muslims don't behead us first.
One group, more than any other, has cashed in on this arrangement: California’s public-sector unions. For them, higher taxes are good business. More taxes means more state workers, which means more union members, more dues, and more power for union bosses. The union bosses, in turn, keep the dollars flowing, agitating for more tax hikes, more spending, and more state workers.Example number two...
It seems that California has commenced on yet another end run around the Constitution with the “Stop Nick Shirley” act . . . Never a state to allow anything to get in the way of the exploitation of taxpayers, California has taken a different tack. Instead of busting the fraudsters, the Cali state government targeted the man who was attempting to expose them. The mental gymnastics necessary to justify this presented no challenge: California Democrats simply recast the fraudsters as victims.And finally, in the sense of this post but certainly not the actions of the thugs in Sacramento that will endlessly move to persecute whatever working citizenry remain in that failed state.
California Creates A Black Market For Tires . . . There are state lines, though, and Californians will cross them to buy the tires they want and the tires they can afford. Enterprising off-the-books merchants will buy contraband tires in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and elsewhere and sell them in California outside the normal channels to avoid the regulators. Who knows, some might feel the rule is the straw that finally breaks their backs and sends them fleeing the state as so many others already have because policymakers continue to make living in California an intolerable burden.
Meanwhile, several thousand miles across the Pacific...
But can an already free society really travel backward? Can people who have known liberty be persuaded, intimidated, or exhausted into surrendering it? We do not have to speculate. We are staring at the answer in Hong Kong. For decades under British rule, Hong Kong was one of the freest societies in Asia. The Heritage Foundation consistently ranked it at or near the top of its Index of Economic Freedom. It had independent newspapers, outspoken political magazines, vigorous labor unions, public demonstrations, and courts widely respected for their professionalism. In a territory of only several million people, an extraordinary variety of Chinese-language publications competed for readers. Hongkongers could criticize their government, denounce the Chinese Communist Party, and commemorate events that Beijing had erased from public memory.With all due respect to the author of this fine essay, the three examples above indicate that California began its degeneration into a thugocratic Leftist dictatorship decades before Hong Kong. The Golden State was at one point the 6th largest economy in the world, gaining that status due to the hard work and innovation of a hard-working industrious populace that took the American work ethic to heart and built what was a real paradise on earth that attracted people from all over the nation and the world to flock there to both chase and more crucially build their dreams to make them real. Alas, no more... Have a good day.

Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Saturday that his country is “at war” with the United States after trade talks collapsed.

“The failing Islamic Republic of Iran is not paying large segments of their military, while at the same time killing protesters, even when they are not protesting, at levels not seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Calling the situation a “humanitarian crisis of epic proportions,” Trump demanded that it “must be stopped, NOW.”

Jimmy "Drama" Comey has served up a prima facie case that he conspired to get Trump assassinated.
The prosecutors in Raleigh NC federal court have added details from Comey's "novel" FDR Drive where a bad guy does something similar to instigate a murder, thereby providing evidence of Comey's mens rea (evil state of mind).
He'll have to argue about "intent" and "no reasonable prosecutor would ..." He's an expert on this, no?
It'll come down to jury selection in Raleigh. And nearly everyone hates a crooked cop.
It starts in October. You couldn't make this up.

Does this mean that anyone in the US providing any aid or comfort to "the enemy", aka Canada, is now a bona fide traitor subject to execution?
Or does that only go the other way, where Congress will never declare war on anyone, just abstracts like War, Hunger, Climate Change, etc.

Right or wrong, it is my impression Carney has always had a hard on for the varsity player, the US. It's not so much he wants to promote Canada's interests as just that he thinks America is too big for it's britches, in all things.
This language he uses "We are at war!" is intentionally divisive and also intended to last well past the trade kerfuffle. He is establishing much closer relations with China, made clear many times he thinks China is the future hegemon, and his intention now, it appears to me, is to establish in the minds of Canadians a future of constant conflict with the United States.
The Liberal Party leadership is not our friends.

You are correct. Alberta sold a respectable amount of hunting licenses in 2025 - 125,650.

What's the average number of guns owned by Canadian hunters as compared to Americans?
I'm betting the US beats them to a pulp with 5 to 7 to 1 per licensed hunter.

I believe a person can use ivermectin and fenben in conjunction with traditional treatments. Many states legalized ivermectin over-the-counter and there's a pet version of fenben available.
My personal remedy for diverticulitis is garlic and parsley oil. I know antibiotics are prescribed, but the garlic works for me with less microbiome disruption.

Maybe the animals in that town need to stop shooting the power line repair men.
Maybe the locals should have adopted "White Supremacy" and hired competent city and electric company management that would have cleared away vegetation from the power-lines before the storms.

If so, that is very sobering. Honestly though, why would Putin listen to us? The concern all along with the Uke war is that Putin will do whatever it takes to not lose. I’ve no doubt the guy will deploy nukes to avoid what he would consider a doomsday scenario (ie loss of the Crimea… or if the Ukes continue the insanity of drone strikes deep into the Russian homeland).

I like the part where the locals, who pretty much appear to be recipients of subsidized utilities, are demanding that the above ground lines are wholesale replaced by buried power lines.
Below grade utilities are generally 10x-20x more expensive than pole based lines depending on the soil. Of course its racism if that isn't provided free, and performed at a Manhattan Project level of intensity.

France and the UK reportedly are going to sell "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles to Ukraine. These can be fitted with nuclear devices. Russia cannot distinguish whether they are nukes or not from any launch intel. Neither can we.
But, I'd presume we knew the UK and France were not stupid enough to sell Ukraine nukes. Maybe we had to tell them not to. Either way it was probably to put Putin at ease. He was threatening to launch his own nukes.
It's probably why several of the "Doomsday" aircraft were airborne at the same time the other day. Aviation watchers noticed this and it made some ripples in that community.

Yeah, I'm not sure what Russia is aiming for at this point. I'm guessing Putin wanted the entire Black Sea coast over to Odessa, plus maybe Kharkov, to wrap this up. But aside from the some limited offensives towards Kharkov, that's not where they're pushing. So my guess is probably wrong.

Apparently, if you do not exclude porn stars, the answer is Annie Hawkins-Turner, better known by her stage name Norma Stitz.
Bra Size: Her bra size is widely cited as 102ZZZ (some sources mention 48V or 72ZZZ depending on the measurement year and method, but 102ZZZ is the most commonly referenced current record size).
Weight: Her natural breasts have been reported to weigh approximately 89 pounds (40 kg) each, totaling nearly 180 pounds.

If it isn’t contraindicated, and that’s rare, Ivermectin is something where you don’t wait around for cancer or something like that to show up. It is i]amazing stuff from a Prevention standpoint.
Parasites are virtually impossible to detect, there are a gazillion of them, and their symptoms are vague and mimic a great many things. Have you ever: traveled overseas? Ate suspect food, or water? We like to think America doesn’t have “those problems” but it ain’t 1955 any longer.

Yes, in the 60's, the "Summer of Love" in 1968 in San FranFreakshow, to be exact...
When all of the United States threw out their trash, and it landed in California, a once-patriotic state that gave you Governor Ronald Reagan...from where so many men shipped out to the Pacific Theater under the Golden Gate in WWII, Korea, Vietnam...
You all gave California Nancy Pelosi (from Baltimore), Barbara Boxer (the Bronx), Maxine Waters (Texas), and on and on...
We need a Crusade in America to rid us of the islamofascist menace, and a Crusade in California to take the state back from the commie trash.

Daily Tech News 26 August 2026
Top Story
- Apple has announced new Mac Mini models based on the M5 Pro and M6 CPUs. (MacRumors)
The M6 is a marked upgrade over the M4 - the M5 never showed up on the Mac Mini - but there is no M6 Pro, so the higher-end models of the Mac Mini, anything with more than 32GB of RAM, steps back to the M5 Pro.
But if you don't need that the M6 should run a lot faster. Apple says up to 40%, and that's actually believable, because it not only increases the core count from 10 to 12, it adds two high-end "super" cores, not just two low-end efficiency cores.
Oh, and 2.5 Gbit Ethernet is standard, not the ancient 1 Gbit.
Not cheap - the 64GB model costs five times as much as I paid for a 64GB mini-PC last December, but the same mini-PC at the same price now only has 32GB, so it has gotten closer.
- If you need more than that, Apple also announced M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studios with up to 512G of RAM. (Mac Rumors)
That's a big jump as well, because the high-end Studio model was limited to the old M3 Ultra, and even then maxed out at... I think 96GB of RAM, with anything faster sold out. Now you can get those high-end models again, and they come with 1.2TB of bandwidth, suitable for pretty serious tasks.
Yes, they're wildly expensive, but right now so is everything, so Apple looks, if not more affordable, less unaffordable.

I am annoyed that Zohran Mamdani had to open his big mouth and say., "She was a friend to the working class." Yes, Zo. She was an extremely charitable person and among other things gave books to millions of kids. She was NOT a communist and NOT a Muslim.

That's such a nice story. I had a really good conversation with a guy at the Gideon's booth next to me. He told me he goes to a church where their devoted pastor is a "great guy." And preaches there and then goes to the church down the road to preach again and he is in his 90's.

AKC site is down for "maintenance". So I can't work on Dutch's spreadsheet. I have profound differences in breed points he earned in 2014. Like, I'm low by 30. That's a lot and indicates I missed a number of shows he was in. I only have the haziest idea of where he was shown, but I'm pretty sure it was largely limited to TX, LA, and AR. So I'm looking for gaps in his schedule and trying to winkle out any additional appearances he made.

Socialism and Communism brings out the selfishness and corruption in people more than anything, which is ironic; it's the exact opposite that's needed in such a system, but it bucks against human nature, especially with the leadership. Capitalism uses human nature's selfishness for the benefit of others, albeit imperfectly.

"But it's Democratic Socialism which is totally different!"
That was from an argument I had with a cousin. He finally asked what I would do if this country became a socialist paradise (my words, not his.).
My exact answer: "If that poison religion took over, you and your kind would cease to be human in my eyes. I would kill you with a smile on my face and a song in my heart."

When work would force me to use such things, it was only on my work computer. My company was very careful about security (could only use company provided USB drives, for instance). Passwords were changed every couple of months, and our computer usage was closely monitored (which is their right on their hardware). For quite a while, I wasn't even allowed to use Zoom because of security concerns (all that data flowing through Chinese servers)

Middle school relative attended an academic Summer camp held at a small college four rural counties away from our home.
During session on world religions, instructor asked if any student could recite the five pillars of islam. Our relative could rattle them off with ease.
Our schools are teaching the WRONG Stuff for intro to world religions. They should start with the difference between the Meccan and Medinan verses. Also mention the division of the world into “House of islam” versus “House of WAR”!

Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley says Americans can’t outright ban Flock cameras because they are ‘for our safety’ “I value my privacy, my family values their privacy, my employees value their privacy, but what we're talking about is safety as well” “So I think when people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing the wrong thing. And what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise — when I think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's like banning vehicles” Actually no, it’s nothing like banning vehicles. This is banning a mass surveillance network that extends far beyond license plate readers. Flock is putting up people tracking AI powered cameras in parks, playgrounds, trails and many other places Flock is mass surveillance without a warrant

From Dangerous Thoughts
2 more Mass. towns join growing list of communities ending use of Flock
Two more Massachusetts communities are cutting ties with Flock Safety, adding East Bridgewater and Grafton to a growing list of cities and towns reconsidering the use of the company’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology. The East Bridgewater and Grafton police departments announced Friday that they would discontinue using Flock cameras, citing concerns raised by residents. *** Many residents took the opportunity to express their opposition to the technology at the forum. “Technology is really problematic when it comes to law enforcement,” resident Katie McMullen said to Jenkins. “You feel like you’ve looked at every angle, but you’re looking at it through the lens of law enforcement.” *** “As Chief, I will always place the safety, privacy, constitutional rights, and confidence of the people of East Bridgewater at the center of our decisions … While we may not always agree on every issue, I believe that an open and respectful dialogue makes our community stronger,” Jenkins said.
Another (sorta kinda) win in a deep blue state Man sued local governments in WA over Flock records. He’s won $300K
Washington cities and counties have paid more than $300,000 since 2025 in public records settlements for failing to release images from Flock Safety cameras. They were filed by one man who recently told Cascadia Daily News he wanted people in the communities to better understand the AI-powered, roadside surveillance technology some law enforcement agencies use to document every passing vehicle. Between September 2024 and October 2025, Jose Rodriguez filed 53 records requests to local governments in Washington. Roughly one-third of them did not comply. The records, at the time, presented hurdles for record custodians because they were hosted by Flock rather than internally, and subject to a rolling 30-day deletion policy and download limits. In other words, the records could be gone before a custodian accessed them to fulfill a request. Last week, Sedro-Woolley City Council approved a settlement for $40,000 for failing to release the camera data and images. But, that was only half the money, according to the settlement agreement. Stanwood was also on the hook for $40,000. A vote by the city council to authorize Mayor Sid Roberts to sign the settlement agreement passed the next day. The settlement agreement did not include release of the records, which representatives from the cities said they no longer possess. Rodriguez was adamant the goal of the lawsuits was not financial gain; he said cities were given enough time to be able to respond before Flock’s rolling deletions destroyed the records he requested. “Had the cities processed Mr. [Jose] Rodriguez’s records request correctly, there never would have been a need for litigation,” attorney Tim Hall wrote in an email to CDN. “The untold story of the $80,000 settlement is how much taxpayer money was wasted in defense of the unlawful destruction of public records.”So not a complete win. The cameras are probably still there, and lots of taxpayer money was spent defending these cases and making the payout. But at least there's sunlight being shone. ----- Is Buc-ee's asshoe? This article would favor a "yes" response. Buc-ee’s chain draws outcry in Ohio for launching fight over a mini mart's beaver logo
It’s yet another Buc-ee’s Ltd. trademark infringement lawsuit. Supporters of Beaver’s Mini Mart have attacked Buc-ee’s online and boycotted the stores, and the mini mart’s home city passed a resolution making the beaver an official part of its history. *** The Buc-ee’s beaver logo features the face of a beaver with prominent buck teeth wearing a red ball cap against a yellow backdrop. The Beaver’s Mini Mart mascot is a full beaver, unclothed, waving and smiling against a white background. Customers have been critical of Buc-ee’s decision to target the much smaller store. “I love Buc-ee’s, but I don’t plan on going back until they start making better business decisions,” Austin Collins, 32, a project manager from Fairborn, said outside Beaver’s, where he was making his first visit to protest the lawsuit.C'mon Buc-ee's - you don't own ALL of the beaver!
Avoiding blue states? Maybe Buc-ee's isn't asshoe! Buc-ee’s CEO signals expansion shift away from blue states that ‘don’t appreciate’ chain
Buc-ee’s CEO suggested recently that the Texas-based travel center chain may be done looking into blue districts, saying some communities do not appreciate what the company brings while conservative states offer business-friendly and family-oriented values. Arch "Beaver" Aplin III, the company’s president and co-founder, made the comments during the grand opening of Buc-ee’s newest location in Benton, Arkansas on August 17. The chain is known for its expansive gas stations, famously clean restrooms and in-house food offerings. "We have a lot of opportunities. We're growing. We're building in a lot of places. But when you find a conservative business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference," Aplin said. Aplin criticized states that he said do not appreciate what Buc-ee’s brings to their communities, suggesting the company would rather focus its expansion efforts elsewhere.

I don't think Buc-ee's is (necessarily) being asshoe. One of our horde lawyers could speak more authoritatively but as I understand it, a trademark holder must take active steps to protect it against infringement or risk losing it. If they ignore "Beaver's" then someone else might open a store called Tooth-ee's with a buck-toothed squirrel mascot in a blue ball cap and when Buc-ee's (rightfully) sues them say "Well, you didn't sue Beaver's" and Buc-ee's would have to explain the difference in court.

Yes and no. Norman appears to be one of those candidates that doesn't appeal well outside his district. Same reason he failed to get to even the governor's primary runoff--not much appeal outside his district. Didn't help that Nikki endorsed Norman either while Trump endorsed Darline. That pretty much should put paid to Nikki's political influence in SC now.
Will Chamberlain probably had it correct in his X post I put above. The Freedom Caucus is pretty much dead now.

Funny how that keeps happening in race after race, state after state, but Trump had nothing to do with any of them. Prior to today's vote the entire narrative was that this race was a referendum on Trump, could his endorsement carry an absolute nobody in the world of politics, sorry, being Graham's sister doesn't count, over a career and popular politician?
But once she wins it's the upstate downstate thing and of course Trump had nothing to do with it. It's still pretty remarkable how many people he endorses keep winning because of other stuff. If only Obama had been this lucky. Ever.

Deporting a lot of illegal criminals will tend to do that. Every crime they committed was a preventable one. If they weren't here in the first place, they could not commit the crime.
But, big cities have been playing games with crime numbers--murders are down from Covid highs but I suspect they are pencil whipping a lot of lesser crimes, particularly if illegals are committing them because blue cities and states don't want these rapists, drunk drivers, and murderers to be sent packing or imprisoned.

My understanding of the Trump indorsement is that Mazzei sent him about $75K and "won" the indorsement.

Jack, I saw the same distribution of votes in the recent governor's primary race where Norman failed to make the runoff. He simply does not appeal outside his district. That is always a risk when you run a House of Rep guy. Statewide races are harder to win for strongly ideological candidates. Darline also had more money, Lindsay's election team, and won a tough two races to get to the general. Tough for a person who was never a politician.

Posted by: whig at August 25, 2026 10:52 PM (E4rtv)
In the main primary two weeks ago, it was a classic regional thing. Update went for Norman, Pee Dee went for Fry (he was their guy). Low country went for Darline, but just barely, because Mark Sanford, Mr. Appalachian Trail was in it and came in second. Midlands went for Darline, but Sanford was stilling spoiling pretty good there.
I think they were worried enough the Pee Dee might have gone with Norman, so they had to get Fry to endorse Darline. Which he did, and the fact that Trump signed on to a pet highway project Fry was pushing for didn't have anything to do with that, I'm sure.....
Anyway, in the end it was Upstate vs everybody else.

I have no quibbles with what you say. Ironically, Trump is the closest thing to a FDR political phenomenon that the GOP has ever had. Teddy perhaps comes the closest to the mark for Trump.

I blame Mitch McConnell and Senate GOP for Barrett. Basically with Ruth keeling over right at the 2020 election, Trump had to accept whoever Mitch would let him have for the seat or Biden would have filled it.
The Senate GOP in general has been the most weaseling, dishonest, and spineless pieces of crap that have ever floated in a toilet bowl and they all deserve really to be flushed into the septic tank of history.

GHWB Bush is responsible for bringing the Somalis as refugees to the US in MN, Maine, and Ohio. May he rot. Points of light my ass.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, Lyndsey was McCain's understudy in the Ukraine coup and other globalist bullshit. McCain was also the leading Republican in the Russia collusion hoax and Lyndsey was right there, uh, behind him. That's historical fact.
Graham ran against Trump and it wasn't pretty. Trump posted his cell phone number online and Graham responded by destroying phone in an online video. It would be an understatement to say they hated each other.
And yet somehow Graham became one of Trump's biggest supporters. As those great philosophers in Lynyrd Skynyrd said, there's things going we don't know.

There's a similar outfit called Plucker's. Plucker's has "boneless wings" which are actually strips of breast meat breaded, fried, and sauced like wings. They're actually pretty good but I mean "boneless wings?" Really?

It should require a warrant. The problem is that again, technology has moved far faster than the law. Back when Scotus decided Katz in 1960's, it was Feds turning on and off mikes in a phone booth when a bookie, Katz, went into to place his bets and receive them. So Scotus created the new reasonable expectation of privacy std instead of the older trespass standard of Olmstead. Olmstead came about because telephones in common use. The idea was that as long as the wiretaps were external to the house, it was okay. At the time operators could and did listen into calls and had to connect them.
Carroll decision was when automobiles came about and Prohibition was on. Again, tech has made that dubious
With today's tech, we require a new 4th Amendment standard.

Lesser of evils standard--do you take the devil you know or the devil you don't know. All I know about politicians is that they will eventually all betray you on one vote/action or another. I don't get emotional about politicians--the survival of the US is at stake and we are more vulnerable now than we have been in decades since the Cold War. And we were much more united in the Cold War era than now.

Justice Alito in a recent search and seizure case brought up perhaps that the court should move to a mosaic principle rather than the reasonable expectation of privacy. We have to share a lot of information with our banks, credit cards, utilities like telecom and internet, etc. We don't have a choice if we don't want to live as a jobless hermit on the streets.
All of that is now available due to prior precedent to a lazy cop in an office with a computer. Whereas in the old days, the cop would have to go about to the stores, get a warrant for the home, etc to go through receipts, numbers called, etc. and it took a lot of legwork. Now they just pop on Flock and cross reference other data and show up at your house accusing you of stealing packages from porches etc. (this happened recently--the woman could fortunately prove she only was somewhere else when the theft occurred). Searches have gotten cheaper for cops and they do more of them.

Totally OT...I saw your comment on the Jesus statue and it being the most moving places you've ever been.
We were in Killarney, Ireland several years ago and visited the ruins of Muckross Abbey. The yew tree and cloisters moved me. We were the only people there at the time wandering around...and it felt like holy ground, the cemetary, all of it.
I felt a hatred for Cromwell I'd never had before.
I've been moved by Westminster Abbey and Notre Dame each time I've visited, but this was different.
Became Catholic this past March and doubt I will pass that way again.
We always find something that is not a touristy place, and this was one.
Came home and found antique colored postcards, as I like to do of travels, and frame as a group...on linen paper.

Go look at Eufy cameras. Better quality than ring and you can keep your data on your own little server. You can get a cloud account but not that useful unless you want 24-7 coverage rather than motion sensor. Since I have the system, it would require a warrant to get my video, not a simple request to Ring by police.

Cromwell was doing what he had to do to protect England and Irish Lords wanted the Stuarts back. Sherman did something similar to the South in his March to the Sea.

Using your own wifi to track people from room to room is one new gimmick. Plus the thermal heat signature sensors have gotten a helluva lot better to the point where they can sometimes id someone inside the house now. And now drones that can linger and an automated license plate reader to determine who comes and goes from your house. TV and phones can be turned on remotely to listen in on people etc. etc.

Remember, this site was written and designed for Web 1.0, you were expected to use a laptop or desktop to read it. The fact that you can (mostly) view it on a phone is simply fortuitous. It's like a dog walking on its hind legs. It is remarkable that it is done at ll, not that it is done well.

Wasn't there a SCOTUS ruling a few years ago that said basically that cops can watch your home without a warrant but if they used technology that did more than just enhance human capabilities -- like a thermal sensor instead of just binoculars -- that crossed a line and required a warrant? Seems like wifi sniffers would be in the same category but who knows. Everything has to be argued and hashed out as its own special case now.

A lot of the collectable glass, pottery and porcelain got repro'd to hell and back. Some values of some nice stuff got wiped out. Galle, for example. Plus the internet completely changed what scarcity meant. What used to be rare enough to take weeks or even months to find, you could now have your choice of several instantly. Lastly, the producers themselves went mass produced and cheap, like Fenton Glass.
Most of that stuff outside of the really rare ($1,000+) had their value drop to 1/3 or worse.

Oh, yeah! Funny, I was digging gravel out from around my septic tank today, and a lot of the gravel was angular pebbles of black chert, probably from the Nordegg Formation in northwestern Alberta, and brought here by glaciers.
I managed to advance the little pit around the tank flange by more than a foot by using a shop vac as the digging implement. Tedious, as the hose would clog frequently, but I could dig while standing up.

I also am not fond of Sherman, being a redneck.

Kia Asamiya is a fan of Batman. In an interview he said he found the Batmobile the coolest of the gadgets and if he could get a movie one, he would register it in Japan and drive it.
In reality he had to settle for a Porsche Carrera, and he created a new manga called My Favorite Carrera about a career minded woman who comes back to Japan from studying abroad and after her father's death to find out he had bought for her a super rare Porsche and it has been sitting in storage all this time. The story picks up there.

The factory itself had a bunch of seconds in a warehouse too accumulated over many years.

It’s going to be the same problem, only magnified. “Cherry pickers” come in, they know what they are looking for. Take a few items, they don’t want all that other shit.
The trick is to sell it on “you take all of it” basis. No cherry picking. Otherwise, you will end up with a whole bunch of stuff nobody wants, and … another name for that is garbage. Hafta pay money to get rid of it. If you were Sentimental before, you probably won’t be after.

I recently saw a video where an owner of a herd of goats in Australia rents them out for cleaning up yards -- fenced, of course -- that had become overgrown and unmanageable. The place that was shown in the video was cleaned up after five days to the point where removing the residual debris was possible.
Whether such a service exists in this country is not known to me, but it was remarkable to see how much of the crap biomass vanished from the property.

We have had our place in Sussex County for just over twenty years now. The amount of plowing up farmland and building new cookie cutter domicile "communities" around here during that time is remarkable, and not for any good reasons. "New Homes From $350K and Above" is not much of an inducement for local folks to buy one.
There were a half dozen or so places -- all listed as being for sale -- along our travel route that were remarkable for their obvious states of disrepair, neglect, and outright insane do-it-yourself upgrades. Nearly all of them are long gone now save one, and that is decaying into ruin while serving as an impromptu greenhouse for the native vegetation.

Mrs KvC and I will need to have a meeting of the minds when she comes back north in September. There is a boatload of stuff in our home that needs to go before we'd even be able to put the place on the market, including.her pottery kiln in the garage.

It's a reasonable goal, Krebs v Carnot. Very reasonable.
Dad just plain DGF after Mom died, and left a mess. As "estate representative" I alone am left with the work.
Two of my siblings are sitting on their hands, merely waiting for *their* inheritance, while the other acts like a flying monkey and criticizes my efforts (while expecting ridiculous $$$ for everything)
It's a real shitshow.

I was reading all the relevant remarks about the ads in the moonshot thread.
I hadn't had the ad problem before (using Firefox). Finally found the Adblocker Plus (either Firefox or Android make this stuff hard to find/identify).
Things seem much better. Will see if anything persists as a fix.
Thank You again.

Lawyer? Charge as executrix? (shut your eyes, grit your teeth) Hire some guys to clean it out and sell it. Put the money in your account. I think a lawyer can do that for you.
If not, shoot your siblings. Tonypete knows a guy with a backhoe.

Those are things for the happy new home owners.
Generally, whatever you do they'll change it to suit there taste.
Just clean it up. If the realtor is honest he will tell you what will increase your return and what won't.
Some of the time the money you put into having someone else renovate will not bring a return greater than what you put into it.

I think she had only around six of them, which weren’t really all that special.
But she did have two of the Princess Diana purple bears with the little flower on the chest in plastic bags. She and her daughters all had a thing for the Royals after watching Elizabeth II crowned on TV, so I guess she picked up those two beanie babies when Diana died.
Not sure if they were the ones with the bad stitch, though. A granddaughter and great-granddaughter got those bears.

LOL! Yes, there's a Will. I am sole Rep.
Truth is-- got older bro to sign an "estate resolution agreement" cutting him off of any proceeds from the house, because Dad gave him the vacation property before he died. So, he's gotten all he's gonna get. But refused to remove some furniture pieces he *claimed* to want, even before signing it. F him, too late.
Lil bro & sis & I, will split whatever comes from house sale. Sis just does nothing. At least she doesn't hound me about everything like lil bro does. Just sits back with her hand out....
Lil bro keeps saying he'll do this or that, come get his stuff, blahblahblah, and only comes here to fk off and drink and get away from his bitchy wife...
Yes, I can charge for my "services"! At first, I wasn't going to, but now-- hell yes I'm gonna do it!!! And recoup every dollar I've loaned to the estate to pay the fking property taxes.

I told my brother that if anything happened to me and mrs B at the same time he gets all my shit and half the house. At first he looked horrified. He said how the hell will I manage all that. I said toss your pain in the ass wife on her ass, let her buy you out of your half of the house, take the money, buy mrs b's sister's half of this house, and move in to Man World. He saw the iron in my words. lol
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division
My sister told me that if she died before me, I get the farm and her $$$, which she has a lot of. I'm assuming our parents, in there late 80s, will be gone by then. Anyway, that's too much responsibility for me so she said just sell it, buy an huge RV and travel the country. My lizard brain liked that idea.

Tuesday Cafe
NASA Astronomy Picture of the DayKing of the Alpaca. Sheep knocks on the door every day to play with cat friend. Cats will always let you know that your attempts to please them are hopelessly inadequate. Cat decides to change the decor. Double tornado touchdown. The Storm Warden. Monkey shines. Senior dog is adopted after spending 700 days in the shelter. Wazzzuppp Soaking your baby elephant, if you know what I mean. Japanese zoo wants the lions to know what will happen if they try to escape.
@apod Dec 25, 2023 Cathedral, Mountain, Moon
Image Credit & Copyright: Valerio Minato Explanation: Single shots like this require planning. The first step is to realize that such an amazing triple-alignment actually takes place. The second step is to find the best location to photograph it. But it was the third step: being there at exactly the right time -- and when the sky was clear -- that was the hardest. Five times over six years the photographer tried and found bad weather. Finally, just ten days ago, the weather was perfect, and a photographic dream was realized. Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and, well, you know which moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.

Got a quote for hauling out two old chests of drawers: $200. (Salvation Army claims they have no drivers anymore, but I see their trucks all the time; I live two blocks away from their base of ops.)
I was thinking more like $50 to haul them out. I'd rather just take a nail puller to both of them, reduce them to scrap, and toss them out piece by piece myself, than pay three figures.

The Russians have been saber-rattling a bit about Western European powers providing the Ukes with advanced weapons that have recently struck critical Russian infrastructure. Plus, the Ukes have more spine to fight than most Western Europeans (especially considering the mass migration). This scenario isn't too far fetched. Does Trump want to get dragged into a NATO fight with Russia right before the midterms?

Had Goldens in my life since I was 7 when our first one adopted us. Long story. There was always one in our house, sometimes 3.
My second to last Golden was part fish. He would sneak away and run to the beach swim, dig up clams, swim some more, roll in the sand, and then swim. He loved to swim like a fat kid loves cake.
My last was broken. I got him from a breeder who did dog shows so I thought she had avoided the cancer that is ravaging the breed. I was wrong. But he hated the water. Wonderful dog, loved everyone, typical Golden in every way other than water was his mortal enemy. Loved him anyway.

The Moon's angular size in the sky doesn't change much at all. At given instant, over the half the earth where the Moon is visible, while the actual distance to an observer anywhere over that half does change a little bit, it's a vanishingly small fraction of the total.
So, to get a shot like that, you just have to get the right distance away from the target so the angular size of that target just matches the Moon.
Then add foreshortening from a telephoto lens and there you go.

The angular size of the Moon is about 0.5 degree. The width of your little finger at arm's length is about 1 degree, so the Moon is about half a finger (and so is the Sun).
However, you'll notice the Moon looms much larger looking low on the horizon. This is entirely an illusion, a trick your brain pulls on you. Hold your little finger out and you'll see the angular size is dead constant as the Moon moves arcs across the sky.

Now, while the Moon is far enough away that its angular size doesn't change as you move across the earth, it's close enough that parallax relative to the background stars is significant.
Again, imagine the half of the earth that can see the Moon at any time. Over that area, the Moon's apparent position against the celestial background will move around about 1 degree, or two Moon diameters.
Over the course of a ~12 hour diurnal visibility period, when you add the parallax shift as the earth rotates with the Moon's own orbital motion (which is the fastest angular rate of anything), the Moon's position against the background can shift up to 4 Moon widths.

Another illusion with the Moon you'll sometimes people go on about is the "Moon is following me!" illusion.
The Moon is very far away, yet still visible, and our brains normal processing (half of what we think we see is our brain "post processing" you might call it) just doesn't.
So, if you move in a straight line as far as you reasonably can over a short time period, the Moon's apparent angular position relative to you doesn't change at all. Imagine you carrying along a little coordinate system with you as move. The Moon's position vector doesn't change at all.
But the position of all the other much closer objects does change significantly. Hence, "The Moon is following me!" This applies to stars and planets and the Sun as well, but people don't generally notice that.

The "secret" is knowing that zooming in does not change perspective, that is the position and size of objects relative to each other. But the apparent change of size of objects does vary with their distance. Moving another mile further away from a building changes its apparent size significantly. Moving another mile away from the moon does not. So to get a shot like that, you have to be far enough away that the building and the moon appear in that size relation and then zooming waaaaayyyyy the hell in so that you can get the framing you want.

Most of Apple's browsers are skins over Apple's WebKit. Most of the browsers on Android or Linux or even Windows operate from Chrome aka Google's web browser code. This site works better on chrome.
Someone mentioned that Chrome for Apple does not use webkit, dunno whether it is in the Apple App store or not. If not, Apple makes it a PITA to sideload apps that do not go through the App Store and continually bugger it up on purpose. Like Microsux does on its products. In both cases, it is to extract data from users and that is easiest when their own code is used as underlayment.

What perspective? You're assuming a viewing distance based on the size of the building. If you move far enough away from the building, it will occupy the same 0.5 degree field of view that the moon does.

It's actually pretty easy. As I've been saying for years, at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008, W announced that NATO membership was on the table for both Georgia and Ukraine, two former Soviet satellites right on Russia's border.
Putin had been warning for years that further eastward expansion of NATO was a redline for him and unlike Obama he meant it. Soon after the summit he invaded Georgia. Most of the west yawned if they even bothered to notice it.
And then Obama/Biden ran a coup in Ukraine and Putin did what he said he would do and here we are.
Do you think they framed Trump as a Russian agent by picking a country out of a hat? It's the entire reason the deep state wanted him gone. Ukraine is a gateway to Eurasia.

It has gotten so bad on data stealing from consumers that WalMart is basically giving TVs away (they bought Vizio) in order to spy on its customers at home. Every damn thing nowadays wants to report home so the companies can not only sell the hardware, but sell off the data on their consumers to whoever is willing to pay.
I don't want my water heater connected to the internet, nor the washer, dryer, or refrigerator. I have to run two networks at home now just to fence off my personal versus security system, video system, roku box (being acquired by Fox btw), etc.

Mollie and Jack...we had 2 non-swimmer Goldens. Our first from a top breeder in FL (his grandpa was a cover doggie on Dog Fancy). We had to laugh that we went from looking in shelters for our boy, who found the Airedale dead he grew up with, to a dog show.
He HATED water: pond, pool, ocean. Accidently went in my father's lake in MS to look at ducks and freaked out when he got mud up to his chest.
Viewed our pool as the Water Monster that I swam in daily. He' pace me as I swam laps. Like my mother, who could not swim, I am unsure what he would have done if I died. I guess stare at me sadly.
Every day he'd lick the top of my head as I sat in the swim out. Like he saved me simply by being there. There was no sweeter and good boy ever before or after him.
Son's first Golden also hated water. Unsure about Penny.

A simple search says that the Basilica of Superga is about 50 meters wide. If we go to
https://unittoolbox.com/angular-size-calculator/
and enter that, then play around with the distance value, we find that a distance of about 5.5 kilometers makes the field of view close to that of the moon. So that is approximately how far away from it you would have to be to see the perspective in the image above.

Another popular Moon shot is over the Christ the Redeemer statute.
You can find lots of shots at different distances varying the relative size.
That telephoto lens effect is called "lens compression". I couldn't think of that term.

I was thinking more like $50 to haul them out. I'd rather just take a nail puller to both of them, reduce them to scrap, and toss them out piece by piece myself, than pay three figures.

Leave them on the curb with a 20 dollar price tag on each one. Even if they get stolen, you are money ahead.

Ansel Adams. He would hang out in Yosemite for days or weeks to get just the right shot. He used large format cameras, lugging all that crap around. His B/W film from the 1940s is legendary for it.

Wife has had an apple phone for years plus the watch and likes them. They work for her so no big deal for me. I dislike Apple's user interfaces but I go back to command lines and dos. Been using Linux since about 2008-9 for most activities despite having office computers with Windoze and later Apple.
Apple desk and laptop is basically a custom interface over BSD Unix (Berkeley Software Distribution) which makes it bombproof but apple then adds its special sauce on top and is very strict about hardware that can be used for drives and that sort of thing.

They have a backup wordpress site, it's more modern and allows for things like image files and more modern nicities, but it changes the character of the site, which is retro.

I have qualms about Plex simply because Big Tech is trying to consolidate every damn thing so they can datamine it for AI crap or worse. Jellyfin is open source and at least I would not be at licensing mercy even if the founders go nuts, it can be forked or simply not updated.
I am tired of dealing with tech world's refusal to treat the end customer as anything other than something to strip mine. And setting up again takes time that starts getting shorter as you get older.

Heh, he is being retired, speculation has it that the new desktop, mini presentations was his last hurrah at Apple. Whatever you say about Cook though, he is far better than his counterparts at Microsoft or Google and has successfully made Apple into a financial and technical behemoth. The new M5 and M6 seem to be aiming directly at running AI models fast that are local, not grubbing for tokens from Big AI industry.
That is how you get adopting by individuals, cut off the external feeds to Mega Corp so they can sell and retrain their AI models on your data.

I successfully sold an Ethan Allen grandfather clock. And more importantly delivered it without fucking it up. It's not rocket science, but there are some tricks to it. The Internet Is Our Friend on stuff like that.
There is very little market for grandfather clocks, btw. LOL. They cost a fortune to buy, or did. Nobody wants 'em. Fine furniture, nobody wants that either.
I don't understand it. All the new shit is cheap ... shit. But you can't give away the good stuff, that our ancestors paid a pretty penny for. Another 20 years and the hipsters will re-discover solid wood furniture, and watch out. That day is not now, however.
