Ilhan Nur Said Elmi Wrote, In Her Certficate for Her Marriage to Her Brother, That Her Given Name Was "Elmi"

But then she crossed it out and falsified it as "Omar."

Deport this rancid walking crime spree in a burka.


Confused much?

Rep. Ilhan Omar apparently didn't know what her name was when applying in 2009 for a Minnesota marriage license to her alleged brother Ahmed Elmi, according to the document obtained by The Post.

A certified copy from the Hennepin County, Minn., government shows that the Democratic congresswoman's surname was initially written as Omar, before being crossed out and replaced with Elmi. A final edit reverted it back to Omar.

The revisions are potentially significant as the Justice Department investigates whether Omar fraudulently gained US citizenship in 2000 by failing to use her accurate legal name and birthdate.


The ongoing case builds on a probe into whether the Somalia-born politician committed immigration fraud by marrying Elmi, a British citizen who describes himself as gay.

"I'm not a Gay Pirate," Ahmad Elmi said,

The Justice Department referred to Omar in a court filing last week as "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

A source familiar with the investigation previously told The Post that authorities believe Omar is not the congresswoman's "real" name, meaning she was born with the last name of Elmi, just like her alleged brother-husband.

The marriage certificate application -- dated Feb. 12, 2009 -- is a potentially significant piece of evidence, though not necessarily dispositive.

The government form also asks whether the bride and groom are related to each other by blood or adoption. The couple attested they were not.

Omar's office did not respond to The Post's requests for comment on the file.

It's unclear who filled out the application, but it appears to have been written with just one person's handwriting.

Unlike the Justice Department's recent reference to Omar's alleged true name, the initial revision was written as "Ilhan Omar Elmi," rather than Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and potentially could indicate indecision about a post-marital name change.

...

"The whole thing was a joke. The marriage was a fraudulent marriage, brazenly fraudulent," [Scott Johnson of Powerline and Alpha News] added. "They didn't take it seriously. It was entered into for a fraudulent purpose."

AJ Kern, a former Minnesota congressional candidate who has dug into Omar's immigration records and discrepancies about her birthdate, said the evidence keeps piling up.

"I think it's pretty clear she married her brother and committed immigration fraud," Kern told The Post.

The bigger issue is having a non-citizen in office, she said.

"If the evidence seems to be pointing to the fact that she never obtained citizenship, Congress is failing to do their job. If we've had a foreign nationalist occupying a seat in Congress, that's a problem," Kern said.

Posted by: ... at November 03, 2026 01:21 PM (b+pJs)

50 OK, so I have a question. You just have to be present to sign the marriage license that you already filled out. Signing only. And paying the fee. So why didn't Ilhan submit one without the cross outs of her name, e.g., a final version? And was her husbro present with her, or did she have to do a supplemental that needed notarization?
------------------
• Where to Apply: Applicants could purchase or apply for a marriage license in any county in Minnesota, regardless of where they lived. The actual wedding ceremony had to take place within the geographical borders of Minnesota.
• Application Details: Both parties had to provide information including their full legal names, addresses, dates and places of birth, Social Security numbers, information on any previous marriages or divorces, and the names they intended to use after marriage.
• In-Person Appearance: Around mid-2009 (taking effect in August 2009), Minnesota law required both parties to be present when applying for or signing the marriage license application (or submitting notarized supplemental forms if one party could not appear).

If a state is in multiple timezones, no counting results are made public until after the last precincts close statewide.

Part of the 2000 fiasco was that networks were calling the race after the eastern time zone had closed but while the western time zone was still open.

So, Texas will close an hour after Houston closes.

That doesn't mean the money should go to NGOs; "refugee resettlement" funds have corrupted churches, destroyed their reputations, and enshittified entire communities. Gov't is terrible, and it should get out of the welfare business entirely.

82 Got back from voting at the rural church where I've voted for a decade and a half. Nodded to people I know working the election.

You have to show ID. So I handed the ID verifier my debit card, asking for an extra ballot. No sale.

I then said "Me nombre is Manual Enfuego", and asked for a ballot. No.

Gave my driver's license over, which was scanned. Then I was asked to state my address. Which I did. "I could get an extra ballot in California", I said.
"Not here" was the reply.

Went to the booth with touch screen, and voted.

Wrote my name in for one position. I will lose that, because the person that got 3 write-in votes in the Primary was on the ballot. I was not ready to run before the primary. So my election record will go to 7 and 1.

Looked at my printed ballot to endure the votes were correct, and went on my way.

Rural Kansas is very Republican., but the six biggest cities in Kansas are filled with Leftist voters.

Out of the 2.8 million Kansans, 80% live in urban areas. The six million cows, mostly Angus, get no vote. (This is why President Trump was in Kansas. He was in Dem strongholds.)

Trump Will End the $3.8 Billion Per Year of Military Aid to Israel by Year's End;
Counterintuitively, Is This the Best Outcome for the US and Israel?

The US will stop the payment of military aid to Israel. It will, however, continue authorizing the sale of key US weapons systems to its ally.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. would stop sending military aid to Israel by the end of the year.

Trump told "Fox & Friends" that Israel is in a position to purchase its own weapons and doesn't need the U.S. to fund them.

The U.S. provides $4 billion per year in military aid, Trump said, and he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed terminating the funding for years. He said that the idea originated with Netanyahu.

"They don't need it. Israel is a very thriving country," Trump said.

It's actually $3.8 billion per year.

Why would Netanyahu favor an end to US military aid to Israel?

It makes no sense.

Or does it?


Although this may seem to be a sop to the J.D. Vance/Tucker Carlson Groyper pseudoconservatives -- and I imagine it is at least partly that -- it might not be such a bad deal for Israel at all.

Pro-Israel, right-leaning Jews have argued that the US should end aid to Israel -- because the aid is used by antisemites like Tucker Carlson to bash Jews, and because the money comes with very thick strings.

Presidents like Obama and Biden have used the threat of withdrawing the aid to demand that Israel not strike back against the Democrat Party's terrorist allies.

Jacob Siegel and Liel Leibovitz for Tablet, itself a Jewish commentary magazine:

End U.S. Aid to Israel

America's manipulation of the Jewish state is endangering Israel and American Jews

July 16, 2023


Two years ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously wept in Congress after changing her vote on funding Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system from "no" to "present." The New York Times said that the incident showed progressive members of "the Squad" "caught between their principles and the still powerful pro-Israel voices in their party, such as influential lobbyists and rabbis." (The line was later removed with no correction.) In People magazine, the congresswoman's procedural maneuver to avoid voting was appreciated for its pathos: "Ocasio-Cortez Opens Up About Israel Iron Dome Vote That Left Her in Tears: 'Yes, I Wept.'" In the end, the resolution passed the House 420-9.

The Iron Dome is, of course, an entirely defensive anti-missile system which the Totally Not Antisemitic or Pro-Hamas Democrats hate because it stops 90% of Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian missiles from hitting the Jewish population centers they're aimed at.

The Skwad and other terrorist-promoting antisemites want those missiles to kill Jews so that Hezballah and Hamas and Iran will be able to extract ransoms from Jews.


Ocasio-Cortez's bit of Kabuki theater fit neatly into the premade mythology of a domineering Israel lobby, popularized by academic John Mearsheimer, whose views are experiencing a burst of popularity in isolationist corners of the right. His central claim--that America has been pressured by an all-powerful, determined ethnoreligious lobby into acting against its own interests--is made explicit in references to "influential lobbyists and rabbis," in Rep. Ilhan Omar's tweets that U.S. support for Israel is "all about the Benjamins," and in graphics like The New York Times' infamous "Jew-tracker" that policed support for Barack Obama's Iran deal according to the religion of members of Congress.

Belief in the mythic power of "the lobby" rests on a common article of faith that is shared by Israel's loudest critics and most fervent supporters--namely, that U.S. military aid forms the cornerstone of the "special relationship" between the two nations, and that this aid is a gift that powerfully benefits Israel. Cutting off Israel's D.C. cash pipeline, it's assumed, would dramatically alter the balance of power in the Middle East: in one scenario by endangering Israel's security, and in another by forcing its recalcitrant leaders to accept the enlightened proposals of Western policymakers.

While this fantasy version of the U.S.-Israeli relationship is useful for stirring up emotions and demonstrating partisan loyalties, it does more to flatter the self-importance of Israel-aid opponents and supporters alike than it does to describe an increasingly warped reality, in which Israel ends up sacrificing far more value in return for the nearly $4 billion it annually receives from Washington. That's because nearly all military aid to Israel--other than loan guarantees, which cost Washington nothing, the U.S. gives Israel no other kind of aid--consists of credits that go directly from the Pentagon to U.S. weapons manufacturers.

In return, American payouts undermine Israel's domestic defense industry, weaken its economy, and compromise the country's autonomy--giving Washington veto power over everything from Israeli weapons sales to diplomatic and military strategy. When Washington meddles directly in Israel's domestic affairs, as it does often these days, Israeli leaders who have lobbied for these payments--including current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu--are simply reaping the rewards of their own penny-wise, pound-foolish efforts.


...

It's no wonder that one well-known regional expert we consulted, who served in high security-related positions in the U.S. government, was horrified when we proposed ending American aid to Israel. When we asked which of our arguments were overstated or mistaken, this person answered: "None of them. But my job is to represent the American interest. Aid to Israel is the biggest bargain we have on our books. Ending it would be a disaster for us. I just don't see who it benefits."


...

Ending aid would not mean the end of the U.S.-Israeli military alliance, intelligence sharing, trade, or any mutual affinity between the countries. Rather, it would allow both sides to see what each is getting in return for what. In the words of retired IDF Major General Gershon Hacohen: "Once we are not economically dependent on them, the partnership can flourish on its own merits."

...

Formal U.S. military aid to Israel, as opposed to loans and cash-on-delivery arms sales, started in 1979, when the Carter administration offered it as a carrot to get Israel to agree to withdraw from all of Sinai as part of a peace deal with Egypt. The same deal provided a comparable sum of U.S. military aid and arms to Egypt, for many years the second-largest recipient of U.S. foreign military financing after Israel. Notably, the aid to Egypt was given despite the country's displaying no capacity to deploy military force outside its own borders--the goal being to achieve a rough form of U.S.-brokered parity between the two recent foes.

Tucker Carlson never objects to paying off Egypt. I suppose he might, because the money is intended as a bribe to avoid hostilities against Isreal, and he would like every Muslim country to attack Israel.

But he and the other antisemites JD Vance insists on courting never bring up Egypt or all the other countries on the American dole, because they want to make the claim that the US is dominated by "ZOG," the Zionist Occupational Government, and bringing up the fact that the US sprays money around like P. Diddy at a Baby Oil Freak-Off would damage their bison-skulled propaganda efforts.

The writers note that Obama's promise of aid to Israel, $3.8 billion per year for ten years, was only made so that he had the power to restrain Israel from attacking his close ally, Iran:

..


In reality, the MOU advanced Obama's goal of paying lip service to Israeli fears while constraining future Israeli actions, in line with a new American strategic architecture in which the interests of traditional allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia would be "balanced" with those of their mortal enemy, Iran. It deepened Israel's reliance on U.S. arms and military spending, while extending Washington's reach into Israel's domestic affairs. Paradoxically, the "most generous" package ever was an instrument to downgrade the U.S. commitment to Israel. The MOU purchased both influence over Israel and the acquiescence of American Jews who were expected, in the face of such public generosity, to go along with the White House policy of strengthening Iran, while upholding the narrative that Obama was Israel's "best friend."

...

Last week, President Biden authorized the military to deploy up to 3,000 reservists to Europe in support of Ukraine's war effort. There are, at present, an undisclosed number of American troops operating in Ukraine alongside the other 80-some countries where the U.S. has forces stationed. By contrast, no American soldier or pilot has ever risked their lives for Israel, and no American missile or aircraft has ever flown in Israel's defense. Such are the myths and realities of "the lobby."

Another point the authors make is that by requiring Israel to buy American missiles and weapons with the aid, it necessarily -- and possibly intentionally -- starves Israel's own vital domestic industry from cash.

And that means that someone like Obama and Biden can blackmail Israel with the threat to withhold providing the American anti-missile missiles that keeps Israel cities from being destroyed.

In addition, US supplies of the Patriot missile are currently small, partly because we're sending so many to Ukraine and also shooting off a lot of them to protect our own bases from Iranian attacks. Other countries like Israel simply can't afford to be dependent on US anti-missile defenses, because the US, of course, may reprioritize delivery of the missiles to other countries (like Ukraine) or just need to use so many of them ourselves that we have few to send to overseas clients.

...

Cut the stranglehold of aid. Let America pursue its interests. Let Israel, too, follow its own interests, which sometimes align with those of Washington and sometimes don't. If Israelis think it will ensure their security to decapitate the Iranian regime, or give the Golan Heights on a platter to Bashar Assad, or develop their own homemade fighter plane and sell it to India or Saudi Arabia, let them go ahead. And let American Jews who care about being Jewish focus on observance and learning their people's history, instead of pimping for Lockheed Martin. If the commitment to Israel is deeper than mere political fashion, if it is more than a secularized idolatry, then it's time to prove it--by smashing the ideological idols of America's Israel debate.

Will this appease the rapid Nazi and cryptoislamist Tuq'r Qarlson? No, of course not; he and his allies on the Skwad will shift their attacks from aid to Israel to weapons sales to Israel paid for with Israel's money, period.

It will certainly be clarifying. And that is itself a good thing.

34 This transition has been a topic for a long time, long before Trump, and for many of the reasons cited. But today, vs. the prior period, Israel is in an excellent position to do without the aid. And given the shifts in American politics - i.e. the even further dumbing down of the populace and now the emergence of dangerously stupid elements - Israeli self-reliance is obviously prudent.

Self-reliance for lower-tech items (ordnance, ammo, small arms) was pursued strongly by Israel up until (?) 10-15 years ago. Resuming much of this production has been an Israeli priority since 10/7.

And I think $500M of the "aid" package is for joint development projects (from which the US obviously benefits, and bigly) - don't think that will be ended.

38 As long as we keep some kind of military relationship with Israelz we're still good. Israel is an ally in a very unstable and important region...their military and especially intelligence is vitally important to our goals and operations there.

Additionally, their use of US equipment is an excellent proving/testing ground for our most advanced equipment. We're very concerned about potential war with China, a near-peer competitor....something we haven't had to deal with in generations. We don't want to be caught like the beginning of most of our previous wars, working the bugs out of our equipment and developing best practices. We want the Israelis (and others, like Ukraine) to figure that shit out for us.

41 I hardly ever listen to rockstars and actors for any political advice.

However, I have followed Bob Geldof for many years since he was inside the workings of international food aid to Africa for decades.

Based on that expertise, he now believes that "free" food is a net harm and is clearly the most effective way to suppress or drive out local food production.

I am not an expert on the defense industry, but I suspect the same economic principles may also apply to Israel's defense contractors.

So Israel may in fact be bettor off without massive amounts of U.S. foreign aid. At least during non-crisis times.

Aid to Israel is a huge talking point for anti-semitic Leftists, and perhaps some Independents. Would have been nice if Trump had made that announcement a bit earlier than election day.

43 Let's be honest, the "aid" was a fig leaf to cover for Israel doing 10X as much for US military sector. Unfortunately now we will have to buy all that at market prices. And Israel's AI sector is massive. But politically it will work out well.

Posted by: runner at November 03, 2026 12:12 PM (AKptf)

44 Well, it removes a talking point...

But it was never the real issue, so it's not going to make any difference to those who hate Israel. They will just move on to another talking point.

Which is my problem with this. We shouldn't be giving ANYONE aid, except for specific goals that align with the US.

We should NEVER be giving aid as a matter of course. To ANY country.

But that's not what the complaint is. It's that our (comparatively) small amount of money that goes to Israel proves that TEH JEWS control the US.

However, I have followed Bob Geldof for many years since he was inside the workings of international food aid to Africa for decades.

Based on that expertise, he now believes that "free" food is a net harm and is clearly the most effective way to suppress or drive out local food production.

58 The question of the Egyptian aid - packaged together with the Israeli aid since the outset - is interesting. The world has changed and the Egyptian-Israeli "peace" is now guaranteed by Israeli power, Egypt's attitudes sort of irrelevant. Egypt is a hopeless economic basket case, and would really feel the impact of their aid package disappearing (they're already under greater stress than usual due to vastly reduced Suez Canal revenues).

Back when it all started, there were two linkages deliberately designed in to provide political support to it all. The Egypt and Israel aid packages were linked, of course. And the whole thing was housed at State, instead of DOD, which would have been a logical place for it given that it was mostly military. This was to help protect the political basis for foreign aid, always the red-headed step-child of appropriations politics.

Egypt aid will now be sort of orphaned. Interesting.

67 Have to get ready for vote and then work, but I always wonder about Iron Dome (and anti-missile systems in general.) On the one hand, they are an unalloyed good: they keep terrorists and rogue states from waging war against populations of civilians and infrastructure.

On the other hand, it is also a perverse incentive for shitheads. This allows them to say that Israel is in no real danger and should not be fighting back as aggressively as they are. It's no big deal. The reason it is no big deal is because tech on the defensive side is making it so that the terrorists are not killing as many people as they wish to.

On the other, other hand- these shitheads are always the same- on the other side. When a big loss of life and war crimes DO happen (see Oct 7) they pass it off as no more than them doing what they are doing in response to Israel's 'aggression.'

So, fuck them all. Kill the fuckers.

Just the other day Intel bought Israel's quantum startup Classiq technologies for $2.2B. A week before, Proofpoint bought Israel's Varonis for for $6.3 billion. Every week! So 3.8 billion is nothing.

Here's what happened: The salesmen had a really good month. No one involved has incentive to pay a good price. The salespeople jack up the price at least to high retail and make fat commissions.

Well, mostly. 3.3B out of 3.8B is financing, the other half billion is direct aid.

As to what I said about Camp David, grok says:

In short, the large-scale US aid packages to both countries are a direct outgrowth of the Camp David peace process and remain in place as of late 2026 (with a possible near-term shift for Israel under discussion). They are sustained by successive US administrations and Congress as a matter of policy rather than treaty requirement.

So we wouldn't be "breaking" Camp David Accords. Just breaking the tradition.

I also think that Netanyahu would rather not be bound by US conditions that come with the aid. I would suspect that Egypt will want their payments to continue.

There is a rare possibility it means unaffiliated normies are really upset and motivated and coming out to vote en masse. While always possible, it's always very unlikely. We're not at Carter 1980 levels of normie unhappiness.

And, Rick Jackson spent something like $80 million of his own money to tie her directly to the BLM riots in Atlanta, which she explicitly allowed to happen as mayor.

Petroleum, like money, is fungible. If a Russian refinery stops making diesel, the Russians will have to buy on the world market to make up the shortfall. That puts upward pressure on prices. Disregard sanctions, the Russians will find a way to evade them, also putting upward pressure on prices.

186 This is getting a lot of press. Obviously, to misrepresent and try to keep those last second Jewish voters on the DNC side (especially in Michigan). But, what never really got any press was Trump cutting off any financial aid to Palestine in the first term. The amount wasted and used egregiously by the Palestinians was substantial. THEN, when Biden got into office he started up the payments to Palestine once again in his first month in office. And, Trump nixed them the same way in his second term as he did in his first.

In truth, we as a foreign country were financing both sides of the conflict. We shouldn't be financing a foreign government on a consistent basis. It should be only in "need" and reflect the goals of the US government at the time. It's should not be a permanent program.

It was true then. Its true now. American support of Israel comes with strings.

195 Petroleum, like money, is fungible. If a Russian refinery stops making diesel, the Russians will have to buy on the world market to make up the shortfall. That puts upward pressure on prices. Disregard sanctions, the Russians will find a way to evade them, also putting upward pressure on prices.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 03, 2026 12:42 PM (0kX4S)

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

This is true. Which is why grain prices spiked when Russia invaded Ukraine. Yes, commodities are fungible. But in the case of diesel, we are the largest exporter in the world. If you are worried about diesel supplies in the US, you shouldn't. We have plenty.

If you are worried about price, that is a different matter altogether.

Wars suck, especially for the civilians. But when they start messing with commodity prices, maybe putting pressure on Putin to end his invasion would help.

Russian diesel was not on sale at large quantities on the global market thanks to sanctions. Ukraine could hit diesel Russian refineries all it wants; not really going to make much of a difference. The rising cost of diesel is more of a result of the Middle East.

Ukraine is hitting the refineries making fuel for the Russian military. A legit military target IMO.

What I Saw at the Trump Rally in Salina, Kansas 1 November 2026 [NaCly Dog]

This was President Trumps 30th rally in 32 days. It was his final rally before the election. Trump has been in Kansas before, in Topeka , and also in Wichita for this election cycle. The initial rally was scheduled for Saturday. It was canceled. After questions from the press, the Rally was moved to Sunday. This was Trump’s second Rally of the day. He had an earlier Rally in Iowa.

There was no problem getting to the remote parking place, but we arrived 8 hours before Trump’s speech, and a full 3 hours before doors opened. My widowed friend and I did pass by 10 protesters on the way through the outer security perimeter. We passed street vendors selling Trump memorabilia, and especially hats. School busses took us through more security checkpoints. Once off the bus we walked to a serpentine holding line next to a hanger. 10,000 tickets were downloaded for a venue of 7,000 seats.

The crowd was a mix of all ages, from a few babes in arms, a number of young people, and many in their 60s to older. There was a large number of red Trump hats in view, with funny to respectful t-shirts and attire.

The line was a collection of high trust, good people. We were with some long-married
couples, one married for 52 years, and a middle-school math teacher at a local Catholic school. One couple brought a disposable chair and were very gracious to share with others in need of rest. There had been a roar when the four engine Boeing 747-800 Air Force 1 landed and taxied near the waiting crowd.

One person stood out in the line, in a black suit with a black Trump hat, and a cell phone with an external power pack. I talked to him, figuring his formal dress marked him as European. He was a Romanian member of their Parliament. His mission was to contact the 1.4 million Romanian-Americans to get them to vote for Trump. He had spent 2 months traveling all over the US. On Election Day, he will be near Mar-a-Lago. Thanks to some commenters, I could knowledgeably discuss recent Polish and French events, and the specific Romanian shenanigans. His take was Trump is ensuring the continuation of Western Civilization, and is the last barrier to barbarism. “The US is the hope of the world.”

We were in line for 4 and a half hours. After the doors opened, it took an additional hour and a half to get to a professional security screening. TSA should be so good. Our tickets were not collected, but I am pretty certain face-recognition software was in use, from all the cameras. We sat near the fence line, and I could see the personnel ramps for both doors of AF-1 and people moving inside.

Security was both viable and quiet. I noticed helicopter air cover, and then special police drones with blue flashing lights. Lots more Secret Service were around, as well as three types of local police. No police snipers were seen by me. Secret Service agents were roaming the crowd all the time.

We had an excellent sight-line to the open rostrum, protected on the sides and back by bulletproof glass. The Kansas City Chiefs game was on a large Jumbotron. With the Chiefs having a strong lead, the Jumbotron went silent.

Senator Marshall, on the ballot, and then Senator Moran came out to pitch the crowd to vote. Some policy was discussed, but mostly the negatives of opponents were mentioned. Then the Gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson made his pitch, as did the incumbent State Attorney general (Kris Kobach, a personal favorite of the crowd and me), my Congressman, and another. All gave strong speeches, with policy to favor Kansans and denouncing the Left, their actions, and the DEM opponents, with specifics.

They left, and we waited for President Trump. He was still in Iowa at the other rally. The game came back on, and then toe-tapping rock music was played using two separate banks of 8 very large speakers. Hearing damage was possible. I could feel the bass compress my ribs and go from the ground to my femur. I was too close. We were outdoors, with bleacher seats behind the President and on the rear. Some people had to stand or squat.

There were 4 food vendors there, and the prices would make an airport blush. Two pork cheeseburgers and two waters was $46. The caps were taken off as they handed you the water, so some manual dexterity was needed.

The Chiefs lost the game, darkness descended, and we waited, being pounded by the music. Then the speakers crackled “Air Force 1 to Salina Tower, permission to do a low pass over the large crowd?” “Permission Granted.” “In sight.” Over our heads came a Boeing 757 in AF-1 livery. The plane landed and I noticed a long line of vehicles, headed by the Beast limo, head for the aircraft. They blocked any sight lines from the crowd to the deplaning group. We
could see people moving off the plane, but lighting was low. Eye of the Tiger music pounded us as the group left AF-1.

Trump came out to a frenzied crowd an hour and a half after the posted time. His voice was a tad raspy. But he talked about his achievements, with many big numbers. He talked about the good of tariffs and manufacturing, and seemed very proud of getting lower drug prices. He also said this was his last rally. Before the election. He worked the crowd very well, saying he wanted to go on after the Kansas City Chiefs game was over and praised the coach (Andy Reid) and QB Mahomes. He said he was sad they lost. When the President came out, there were a lot of vigilant and visible protection.

He urged us to vote. He spoke highly of Senator Marshall, and invited him up to speak. Then he praised Kris Kobach, and got him to talk. Later he asked the Secretary of Agriculture to speak to the farmers and ranchers.

After telling how he bullied France to help with his drug pricing, he called for Rubio to come up. Three times he said that Rubio is getting too popular. Twice he finished with “I’ll have to fire him.” My take was this was a sigh of high approval, and I moved Rubio into the status of heir apparent. VP JD Vance was mentioned once. I noticed three people that spoke talked of him calling them after midnight and before 6 AM. One said his wife was going to call Melania if it happened again.

He highlighted the threat to gun ownership several times, and there was a show of hands of gun owners. Practically the entire crowd raised their hand. Much more than when Veterans were asked to stand, or when ranchers and farmers were asked to raise hands.

Trump demonstrated a high energy level. He did not want to quit with such an enthusiastic crowd. He mentioned the fake news only three times. Without heat. Like they were sad puppies. As an aside, every time I passed the cordoned off press area, I wore my biggest sneer possible.

I had one protester shout at the President right behind where I was seated. I swirled around and got out of my chair in one movement. A look at my face, and she flipped me off with both hands, while backing up. A nearby Salina Police Sgt. passed me and led her away.

President Trump was having fun, had some sly humor, but he was dead serious that we needed to vote. He was like a priest, and I saw him evoke God and the many good pastors in his life, like Billy Graham and Norman Vincent Peale. He even pitched the book The Power of Positive Thinking. I got the feeling he was trying to pass on to a new generation what made him great, like a proud granddad to a grandchild.

We both had a great time. The school busses made for a quick exit, and clear traffic home.

8 Very cool you got to go to one, Salty. I thought about trying to go, because I think they would be quite something to see. But it didn't work out.

Hopefully Trump continues the rallies in 2028, if he approves of whomever the GOP nominee is. I think it was smart to do midterm rallies to try and fire up the base. End of a weird, at times horrible, at times wonderful political era.

13 Nice report, Salty.

I'm in MA, so my vote was stolen long ago and there's no hope for this godforsaken place. I'm not expecting a 'blue tsunami,' but I am expecting the GOP to lose. That's just my bag, as the kids say.

BTW, I saw an especially sneaky set of signs at the MA / NH border. Former governor John Sununu is running for congress, and you can see a number of signs reading

SUNUNU
TRUMP

which you would think are supporting signs, but each of them also has a snarky line underneath, such as:

SUNUNU
TRUMP

16 Thanks for your report, Salty. I am praying that the pastor of the huge UM Church in KS ( Adam Hamilton ) does not get elected . He has written some helpful books about prayer and faith but he is too far off the beam. You don't have to believe in the Virgin Birth to be Christian?!! . Sounds like a much less freaky version of the guy from Texas.

17 I went to a very early Trump rally.

At Kiawah Island Country club. It was just in a big conference room. Maybe 200 people.

He showed up a bit late, riffed for 40 minutes, mostly about Francis saying something not nice about him (which happened like the night before), and he worked the room like a master.

Got his autograph.

Very different vibe from his rallies now, it seems.

18 I was born in Salina, and lived there until I was 10. Great memories, great little town. It's funny going back, though, because as an adult, the town seems much more drab and poor than it did as a kid. Central Kansas may not be as colorful or prosperous as the various places I've lived since then (mostly central Iowa), but the people seem just as friendly when I'm back visiting relatives.

My parents met at Marymount College, so every time we visit, we have to drive by and check out the old buildings.

Here's hoping for a good outcome tonight! 🥃 Confusion to commies!

@AGHamilton29
Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.

But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?

A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.

Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.

Whatever happens today, I can't see that orange sonofabitch going out with a whimper - and he's going to face extreme opposition or stonewalling by Congress in either case. Republican or Democrat, it won't matter. He's in lame duck time *now,* not in November of '28.

But I expect with what we've seen so far from Trump 2.0, the next couple years will be a raging, vengeful duck period. I think it's gonna be wild, and I'm looking forward to it.

This is the last time we'll see a politician go off-script for the rest of our lives, and I expect it to be very, very interesting.

My bet is it will be called a blue wave by the media regardless because the Dems will almost certainly net seats.

It's just a trend that's been around for several generations now. The party that lost the last election and is out of power tends to do way better in the next election.

It's not very logical, but it's what happens.

What I'm hoping for is that it's not a situation where they run the board on all these Senate seats in even deep red states.

135 I get annoyed by the nominally non-partisan theme I see all over social media right now, "Just get out in vote whoever you are going to vote for"

If you don't understand the issues then your voting is a negative overall, not a positive, both for you and the republic as a whole, and this is in a real non-partisan sense.

And honestly the people that have to be cajoled are less likely to be informed.

So yes get out in vote, if you are actually going to understand what the candidates stand for, what the implications of the D or R holding either or both houses of Congress, and what your state/local officials will do.

I'm surrounded by left leaning LIVs that complain about what their state/local officials do and then go re-elect them, willfully ignorant they are voting directly against what they seem to actually care about.

Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.

But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?

A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.

Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.

Yeah, Kamala Harris had a speech prepared for Election Night explaining that it was going to take days and days and days to count the votes, and that no one should assume who won until the votes had been counted.

Unfortunately for her, Trump won by enough that the planned steal wasn't going to work.

Here's more dem blue wave hopium.

Washington — Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan said Rep. Haley Stevens' stunning endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed is having the opposite effect of what she intended. "You're seeing a backlash," Dingell said in an interview on "The Takeout with Major Garrett" on Monday. "It's galvanizing many communities."

El-Sayed's campaign says it raised more than $2.4 million on Sunday, the same day that Stevens — his former Democratic primary rival — came out in support of Rogers

The governor's race may see some weirdness, gubernatorial races are less obviously partisan in result a lot of the time (think KY, MD, MA, and others). We'll see on that one.

But, no, KS is not going Trump+18 in 2024 to electing a Democrat senator 2 years later.

NH elections have been crooked for some time.

Yes the "cities" vote blue, and when you go in them you see signs for whatever Dem socialists are running. But you get out of the cities and every sign is for Trump/republicans, including in the burbs

Yet the official totals show massive number of blue votes coming from the 'burbs/rural areas.

And this is very, very different from the rest of New England where when you travel in the burbs/rural areas you see plenty of Dem signs.

I guess all those massive number of Dem voters in the burbs/rural areas are just afraid to put out signs like every other Dem does or something right?

One of the major narratives out of 2018 was that Democrats had successfully localized the House races they won in Trump states.

But, in 2026, they outright attempt to nationalize every single senate race they're after, ensuring that turnout in heavy Republican states goes up compared to a more sedate midterm.

I don't think endorsements make much of a difference. Would I care if one state Rep official endorsed a Dem?

But OTOH, I think Stevens and the rest of the moderate/Jewish Dems in Michigan are doing is reflecting what moderate Dem voters are telling them. So this isn't Stevens standing on her principles, this is her staying ahead of the poison for the party AES would be.

Of course we will see at least 100% of the muslim vote in the state cast for AES...at least...

I saw an architecture documentary about a Japanese American furniture maker born in the 1900s. Wish I could remember his name. He had to go to the internment camp in Idaho during WW2, and met a master furniture maker there that taught him. He would find discarded materials and reclaim them and build furniture. Continued making furniture after the war. He build a whole compound for his furniture shop and his home in PA. Sounded like a lovely person. First world problems in an internment camp wound be a very interesting series.

The Japanese internment camps are a good model for how to survive with grace should the left ever get their way and we all go in one. The Topaz camp in Utah had a newsletter they printed, so we could keep Ace's blog still going at least! But in print form.

226 215 "I've never seen so many people voting for Paxton that really don't like him."

This line of attack fascinates me. Even if Paxton was a lazy, lecherous, corrupt sack of shit you'd have to be insane to vote for "I love transchildren (sexually) Talafreako and I'll make sure other men like me get to do so as well"

You aren't voting for Pope (and the current one is no paragon of virtue either) you are voting for who is more likely to vote for the policies you want.

Heck, I didn't personally like Trump, but I went out and voted for him. I liked his policies, and not his mouth...but his mouth doesn't matter...it's what he does, not what he says...

Who cares if your candidate is likeable...the only thing that matters is will he make American great for Americans (stealing Trump's motto)...

"Fin du travail" (The End of the Working Day) is an oil painting created by French artist Jules Breton between 1886 and 1887. This artwork is a significant representation of the realism movement, showcasing the daily lives of peasant women as they conclude their labor in the fields at sunset

61 “Comrade Stalin, we have so many potatoes that, piled one on top of the other, they would reach all the way to God,” the farmer excitedly tells his leader.

“But God does not exist,” replies Stalin.

“Exactly,” says the farmer. “Neither do the potatoes.”

GatewayPundit has this..

Two former staffers are accusing Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola of repeatedly using the n-word, including once to attack an Army veteran who organized a fundraiser for her.

An unnamed staffer says that during an October 25, 2024 dinner to honor Black Army soldiers who helped construct the Alaska-Canada Highway during World War II, she used the slur while privately lashing out at the man promoting the event.

Ed Wesley, an Army veteran and former commander of the American Legion Post 34, had urged Peltola’s campaign to purchase multiple tables for the event, assuring her they would be filled. But when the event was poorly attended and the tables sat mostly empty, according to Alaska Landmine, Peltola lost it, calling Wesley a “scammer” and the n-word, according to the former staffer.

“I can’t believe that n—r,” she allegedly said

108 CBD has used at least one other painting by Breton, The Song of the Lark. That one got me interested in Breton's art and today's increases that interest. He has a wonderful ability to portray his subject's (often peasants) posture to create a mood. His realistic use of light and the landscape adds to that mood. In this scene there is no way to ignore the tired women as they trudge under their burdens at the end of a day in the field. The image would connect with anyone who has done a long day of heavy labor. (Raises my hand.) Even if rural themes don't appeal to you, his paintings are worth the time to study.

The realism and accuracy of his work reminds me of the Pre-Raphaelites that I so enjoy.

If this scene was used in a movie, it would be something that stays with the audience long after leaving the theater.

Look at the example of this painting on the Jules Breton Wiki page. It is a lot brighter with more details of the women's faces and the background. I actually prefer the one in the thread because it has more of that end-of-day feel. Both are worth study if only from an appreciative viewpoint.

160 Eddie Muller showed the original Cat People on Noir Alley last weekend. Very pretty French actress, Simone Simon, in the lead.

Last night they showed 1930s King of Jazz, with Paul Whiteman. No plot, just a revue, almost like a poor man's Ziegfeld Follies. Worth it for the leggy chorines and the performance of "Rhapsody in Blue."

After that was Hollywood Canteen, but I recorded that. I've got a nasty cold and will watch it later this week.

According to Grok,

Duncanthrax is a mid-tier, occasional commenter rather than a high-volume poster, appearing in threads on AoSHQ's comment archive (acecomments.mu.nu) across topics like gun rights, media criticism, and political satire—hallmarks of the blog's content.

Tone: Dry, bellicose wit with a touch of world-weary cynicism. Comments are concise but punchy, favoring clever one-liners over lengthy rants.

Topics: Predominantly conservative-leaning takes on U.S. politics (e.g., mocking liberal media figures like Jim Acosta), Second Amendment advocacy in gun threads, and cultural critiques. They engage in pile-ons against perceived left-wing hypocrisy but also toss in self-deprecating humor or gaming/pop culture asides to lighten the mood.

Community Role and Influence
In AoSHQ's ecosystem, Duncanthrax represents the "geek-conservative" archetype: informed on tech/military topics (possibly informed by Kistner's background in C++ and open-source projects like Scream, a virtual sound card tool), yet fully immersed in the site's rowdy banter.

No one marries the Navarro lady for her brain. But she got the ozempic shot and did slim down.

Not to turn anyone's stomach this morning, but I found about "ozempic vagina" and it sounds horrible. I didn't think about how if getting the shot strips muscle, it also atrophies the muscle keeping lady bits and organs in place. You're welcome for that mental image. Getting plastic surgery down there sounds awful.

209 Fin du travail, 1886-1887.
Jules Breton

Did we have this painting before, or maybe one very similar? Doesn't matter. This is beautiful, idyllic.

It looks like a photograph, it's that good, and I would hang it.
--
The painting portrays three monumental peasant women walking back across flowering fields bathed in a warm, glowing sunset.

Lyrical Realism: Unlike some of his contemporaries (such as Jean-François Millet) who focused on the harsh, gritty exhaustion of rural labor, Breton infused his depiction with a poetic, dignified, and almost devotional grace.

Reception: The heroic and idealized presentation of agricultural workers made Breton's work immensely popular during the late 19th century, particularly among collectors in the United States and France.

References include Brooklyn Museum (where it's held) & Artvee.

Their fucked up political systems are their problem, and we have more than enough to deal with in terms of our own.

I hope Trump's plan for this is to cancel any putative trips to Brasilia or Warsaw, and maybe make a pro forma statement about election rigging being naughty.

Nothing more than that is desirable.

The Morning Report — 11/3 /26

VETOED.jpg

Good morning kids. And so today is Election Day. As we have been discussing for at least the past couple of weeks if not longer, the direction if not the ultimate fate of whatever remnants of America as founded that still remain is at stake. I know that the phrase "the most important election of our lives" is trotted out every two to four years, but perhaps it's my no longer being a kid as well as facing some critical medical issues that has done more to focus my mind on things than otherwise might've been the case, but given the state of the world, our nation, history and who and what we are dealing with makes the stakes pretty obvious regardless of what your own personal situation might be.

Well the events/stories leading up to today has meant things going on elsewhere have taken a backseat. One such story that has particular cromulence for today's results is a potential coup d'etat going on in Poland.

. . . France – along with many of its neighbors – faces the specter of a species of revolution that may end up replacing Western freedoms with some hideous hodgepodge of Communism and sharia law. In Warsaw, too, this past weekend, people began taking to the streets in large numbers. But the Polish crisis could not be hardly different from the one afflicting Western Europe. In Paris and elsewhere, governments that have slavishly followed the EU’s globalist-minded directives instead of attending to the needs of their own people are paying the price for it. In Warsaw, on Friday, a group of five judges who had been appointed by parliament but not yet sworn in by the president, Karol Nawrocki, occupied the building of the Constitutional Tribunal, whereupon one of them, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, illegitimately and peremptorily removed the court’s president and deputy leader, appointed herself to take their place, and ordered the court building surrounded by police.

Let's see, "replacing Western freedoms with some hideous hodgepodge of Communism and sharia law" Now doesn't that have a familiar ring to it right here at home, especially today. Meanwhile he may not be in Warsaw, but depending on how things shake out there, he might not make it back. Not alive anyway.

Polish member of the European Parliament warned Americans against voting for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections, arguing that socialism could threaten their freedoms and lead the country down a similar path Poland experienced under communist rule. Dominik Tarczynski delivered the warning during an appearance on Fox News’ Saturday in America as he discussed political unrest in Europe and the dangers of socialism.
“Socialism is death, slavery, lack of any freedoms. Please don’t do it. Don’t go through 70 years of occupation like Poland did,” Tarczynski warned.

Preach it brother! But they're that is they'll be wielding the whips having us build a White Sea Canal back to the 12th Century!

It took the human race thousands of years of suffering under tyranny and slavery to arrive at the Age of Enlightenment, 1685–1815, during which the absolute powers of spiritual despots and monarchs were overthrown in favor of the construction of constitutions of common law and declarations of human rights, including the rights to one’s own thought, faith, and expression; the rights of property; and the right to pursue personal happiness through freedom of enterprise. The citizens became the sovereign, and the government became the servant. These societal compacts of law wrought an unprecedented change in human fortunes toward individual liberty and societal harmony. The era gave birth to an explosion of artistic expression, scientific discovery, and industrial invention, culminating in most of the benefits we enjoy in our modern age

I recently came across a news item that made me reflect on our strange political environment —always a painful experience.
Bernie Sanders, the ancient socialist senator from Vermont, delivered a tirade against artificial intelligence, claiming that it had provided the tools for unscrupulous hackers to break into unauthorized bank accounts.
Even as he railed about an “evisceration of our privacy rights,” Sanders introduced legislation to “ban artificial superintelligence and temporarily pause advanced AI development.”
. . . Progressives want to pause data centers today because they killed off nuclear power decades ago — a chain of causation that can lead, quite literally, to the dark ages.
The best illustration of the horror of change and lack of forward-thinking by this sect can be found in their favorite means of transportation: trains and bicycles.
I mean, these are 19th-century technologies: the first steam-powered locomotive made its appearance in 1804 while the bicycle was invented in 1817.

Nevertheless, progressives spend enormous amounts of taxpayers’ money to promote these comfy old machines.

The socialist mayor of Paris, France, spent hundreds of millions of euros and destroyed her perfect city to install bike lanes. . . The socialist craves a return to the communal womb — to a society as unchanging and dogmatic as anything experienced by our medieval ancestors.

The dream is of Utopia, but what you get is Cuba, a place where the population is too hungry and too cowed to worry much about data centers.

That, in brief, is my complaint and concern about progressive conservatism of the Bernie Sanders kind. . . But by confusing their hopes with reality, progressives have tumbled into a fallacy and seem determined to drag us there with them.

Like Goethe’s Faust, they believe they can “pause” society in a perfect moment of universal harmony and sustainable prosperity.
That way lies damnation.Human societies are dynamic, complex systems, assembled through a historic process of trial and error and always adapting to changed conditions.
They can’t be paused, any more than one can pause a Cat 5 hurricane — but they can be made maladaptive, contradictory, and ultimately self-destructive.We are no exception.

Although this is quite a good piece, the author attributes way too much altruism on the evil Commies when all they want to do is exert absolute, total and permanent control on society, period, end of story,

And on that note, I invite you to peruse the Politics and associated links to try and read the tea leaves.

And of course GET OUT AND VOTE, LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW because depending on the outcome, there might not be one, at least not the one we had wished for, or more accurately worked our asses off and sweated bullets for... and in some cases like Ashli Babbit and Charlie Kirk as well as some of our ancestors who survived socialism in th third world and Nazi occupied Europe, took bullets for.

On that note, as always I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day,

and say a prayer for our sacred nation and society that we carry on regardless of today's outcome, and that Leftism and Islam one day soon are returned to the fiery pit from which they slithered.

45 Here is one paragraph of What I saw:

One person stood out in the line, in a black suit with a black Trump hat, and a cell phone with
an external power pack.
He was a Romanian member of their Parliament. His mission was to contact the 1.4 million
Rumanian-Americans to get them to vote for Trump. He had spent 2 months traveling all
over the US. On Election Day, he will be near Mar-a-Lago.
Thanks to Whig and other
commenters, I could knowledgeably discuss recent Polish and French events, and the
specific Rumanian shenanigans. His take was Trump is ensuring the continuation of
Western Civilization, and is the last barrier to barbarism. “The US is the hope of the world.”

46 MSN article:
"Their own political analyst, Nate Cohn at The New York Times, came out today and said they're struggling with non-response bias," Allocco said.
"They're trying to model non-college blue-collar workers, and they can't reach them.
"They call it weighting their poll. I call it a Magic 8 Ball," he added.

Yep. They know their polling is flawed, but it's not stopping them from declaring a Blue Tsunami.

It reminds me of 2016 when Hillary was 98% certain to win, because the polls said so.

It was only ten years ago. Remember the faces of the expert pundits as the reality slowly set in.

67 "Peggy Noonan wants Republicans to lose big so the GOP will have to rebuild."

Both parties are changing, and Noonan misses why.

The Ds evicted White Non-College from their party years ago, even though they outnumber White College by two to one. They're now Trump's base and with their support he's won the White House thrice. Trump has been expanding his base with many Hispanics and some Blacks. It's becoming a Populist Party slightly right "north by northwest."

Meanwhile, the Ds have a shaky minority coalition but with hands on many of the levers of government and business.

The Ds are already fracturing over DSA. "It's the People's Front of Judea."

I expect they'll be in total disarray by 2028, especially if the Blue Tsunami doesn't arrive today.

171 The blame game started already today, with Investors Business Daily ignoring as much good accomplishments and knifing Trump:

But then the wheels started coming off. Instead of focusing on wringing inflation out of the economy, Trump launched an erratic, unfocused, divisive trade war that opened him up to the charge — rightly so — of raising prices instead of cutting them.

The attacks on Iran, as justified as they were to prevent that terrorist nation from acquiring a nuclear weapon, could have stopped with the bombing of its underground facilities, with the promise of more if they tried to reconstruct it. The wider campaign, which we support but which he never fully justified to the public, jacked up the cost of both gasoline and food — the two things where prices are the most obvious to consumers.

Trump closed the border while restarting wall construction, which were massive victories. But the deportation campaign has been a needless PR disaster.

And Trump’s fixations on the White House ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and various other D.C. projects only served to paint him as vainly focused on the wrong priorities.

Also volunteers to do things like run the annual Independence Day fireworks, beach cleanups, etc.. I will lose everything else.

Doesn't matter. I am still voting like I always do. If nothing else it will let the winners know at least some of us don't support them.

Its interesting when charting money pissed away to elect candidate X compare to candidate X's legislative effectiveness, those lines go in opposite directions.

If you look at the aggregate of things done in the House or Senate SoS (Session over previous Session), they accomplish less and less and the functioning of the nation relies more and more on EO and bureaucratic cruise-control or the Regulatory Branch of government.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at November 03, 2026 08:55 AM (znwa7)

317 Months back, I asked Grok about the correlation between midterms prez approval and party losses.

The biggest thing you have to keep in mind is, there's not a lot of data; less than 20 marginally useful points.
Second, the biggest losses came after wave elections, where weak candidates were swept in 2 years before.

the biggest losses came when the prez had under 40 approval and the other party had over 10+ on the generic.

So, 100% of the Dems prediction of a blue tsunami are:
- Trump is deeply, widely unpopular
- Trump lost 40 seats in 2018

However, Trump is now over 40% and the only proof he is unpopular is ... polls. It shows up nowhere else.

2018 is not predictive, it's an outlier where over 50 Rs resigned, many of them senior members, where the entire GOPe was openly embracing the Russia hoax.
But I see the online left are taking 2018 as a baseline--and all their polls flow from that.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 03, 2026 08:55 AM (3cUTc)

318 It's cute to think that "voting harder" will accomplish anything. If the Dems want to win an election, they'll win it. Period.

Then how did we get Trump and both houses of Congress?

Yes, leftists cheat. Water is wet. Everyone knows it including the Trump DOJ that is working to catch them.

It's pointless to argue we can't win when we can and have.

2018 happened because Dem numbers increased by...a weird amount.

Trump had the best retention numbers from his party for a midterm for a president in...a very long time. It was like 80% of the vote from the presidential GOP showed up for the GOP in the midterm.

Obama got about 60% in both of his midterms from Democrats.

In 2018, Democrats just increased...more. It was either highly animated base turnout (possible) or...well, 2020 happened 2 years later.

370 The only reason people think Paxton is a shit candidate is because the establishment in TX tried to destroy him...and failed.

As the impeachment circus was ramping up in 2022, Paxton won re-election by like 10 in the general and swamped the GOPe candidate (George P. Bush) but like 40 points in the primary.

Oh, and he got divorced because the MAGA based demands marital purity in its preferred candidates.

If he were running in a purple state, sure.

But, he's a Republican running in a deep red state. He just has to be Republican without serious scandal, and his serious scandal was dealt with years ago.

Remember, people were afraid that Allred would beat Cruz in 2024 because Cruz is a shit candidate.

Both parties spent $200 million on that race alone.

And then Cruz won by 9 because...Texas is a deeply Republican state.

It's like the $100 million spent against Graham in SC in 2020, the polls showing Harrison within spitting distance and then...Graham won by 9.

We are at war with the British Imperial system - as the last 250 years has shown - which means all central banks(including our Fed, which goes back to the Rothchilds). Trump and Bessent seem to be the ONLY people that understand this. The British were operating in the Middle East in the 1850's and developed Persian oil in 1908.

========

Contentious senate elections drive up turnout in the states that have them. The electorates end up closely reflecting PVI of the state.

Which makes it pretty much impossible, outside of the rare incumbent like Manchin in 2018, for the wrong party to win a senate race in a state that the right party president won by 10 or more.

It has happened once this century (Tester in 2006, an awful GOP year). The idea that the GOP loses the senate requires at least 4 of these to happen this year. At the same time.

Waves crash unevenly. The are highest in favorable enclaves and lowest in unfavorable enclaves. They're muted, at best, in contentious senate states.

No, I didn't vote for him - got it straightened out. But right there - my voter reg. card with my full name and address was RIGHT THERE in her posession. And I ended up with the chance to vote twice.

The female First Officer of the SunJet LearJet 35 that Payne Stewart was killed in was 27 years old and had accumulated a total of 1,751 flight hours at the time of the accident.

I said I'm not blaming her. There was obvious catostrophic failure in that aircraft. My question was, and the only thing I've found online was that she had 86 hours or some such.......27 is a LOT different in flight time than 20.

When my dad was flying privately (owned a Cessna 172), he never amassed enough hours for a multi-engine cert. Granted, that was 30+ years ago, but still. It took TONS of flight time to get each rating. She did it to get a seat in the cockpit in a Lear Jet by age 20?

Posted by: Community Notes at November 03, 2026 09:15 AM (NzX/y)


Nationalizing SpaceX would involve handing Musk several hundred billion dollars. He'd just take himself, and most of his workforce, and move to another country and start over. We'd have the already built infrastructure, he'd have the know-how. It would slow down his efforts and give a leg up to Chynah.

Not so fast. There is a sizeable (~10%-15%) of the demographic who have no marketable skills, cannot be profitably trained, nor have the intelligence or physical ability to perform work.

They are too retarded to be trained, to feral to be around others, too irresponsible to be trusted in any capacity, or physically incapable of providing for themselves.

Society has no plan for these people, so we permit NGOs to discover proxies through fraud. Society just needs to optimize the fraud so that the retards aren't receiving G-Wagon levels of sustenance.

Her message: “We need to get the corruption to stop. We need to use our voices. We need to get Donald Trump out of office.” And to Trump: “If you think you’re going to intimidate me, Donald Trump, it’s not going to work. I'm not afraid of you.” Please share.

'What are we voting for today? What’s on the ballot in Pennsylvania'
Maria Francis, USA TODAY NETWORK, updated today

In part, "It's Election Day, and Pennsylvania voters are heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, to decide who will represent them in Harrisburg and Washington.

Americans aren't voting for president this year. Instead, voters across the country will decide all 435 U.S. House seats and 35 U.S. Senate races, along with governors and state and local races.

For Pennsylvania voters, today's ballot includes the race for governor, all 17 U.S. House seats, 25 state Senate seats and all 203 state House seats. Pennsylvania does not have a regularly scheduled U.S. Senate race this year."

👉🏻Americans aren't voting for president this year.

I don't believe 3.5% of the population of this country is ready or able to dissemble it.

I do believe Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who denounced Haley Stevens' for her Republican endorsement as a "despicable betrayal," has done by far worse by far longer to the American people - including "his

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 03, 2026 10:30 AM (NFX2v)

508 (alleged) people" - and he's an old, scared and unworthy former political "warrior" in the U.S. Senate, now left groveling & doing only the bidding of his former superiors.

It's well known, it's time for Chuck to move on.

And no matter if No Kings protests go on and even expand, the fools in the streets don't know - or won't admit - the truth. But those running their games know they still need Trump & the majority of his cabinet to continue cleaning up the messes created by the Left and its Autopen Joe and his keepers.

PDT pulled up our country, and them up by extension, before & even despite impeachments & more, all after O & Joe's massive giveaways, education trashing, nation wasting.

And he's doing it again now, i.e., 'The U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in October 2026, marking its 10th consecutive month of growth according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM),' by The Hill.

The sufferings of the country are by far more entwined in the past w/Democratic administrations. While a terrible lesson to revisit for the American people, it's up to the voters. "All politics IS local politics."

Give it to G-d. Vote. Protect you & yours.

    It seems at least that this attack is on a smaller scale because many companies notice eventually if you keep stealing their wallets.

So, cutting out of work to rent a van (and still have to take two trips to get everyone in there). Should be fun. I'm bringing snacks and contraband for them to smuggle back into the joint.

But I'm also not black-pilling on the whole, because I don't actually think it will work. It's just going to suck and be very, very annoying.

30 I worked on communications systems. The Internet Protocol became the standard.

But there is no effing way my customers would ever connect their equipment to the Internet. Completely private networks were developed.

IP is great for connectivity. But when you buy gas at the pump, you really don't want your credit card info passing through the World Wide Web.

Some idiots in Europe connected their smart freezers to the Internet instead of deploying a costlier private network.

The first is much more likely to be run on a full on automation system (Schneider, Siemens, JCI, whoever). Those can be very robust for security, especially lately. But they can also be left wide the hell open if they're not set up right by the installers. I'd be curious to know what the system was that got attacked.

>>their prices push them right out of the market sector that they were supposed to be appealing to.

Once you add a power supply, case and some storage, you’re pushing over 500 dollars.

For that kind of money, you can get a refurbed sff hp for less that will be orders of magnitude more powerful, add in an ESP32 and you have a more powerful computer and more powerful microcontroller.

I think this price increase is an indicator that RPI intends to move out of the hobbiest market and just become a provider to industry.

69 Tech topic: I received my Spectrum router/modem (still marked as Cox) yesterday. There were no instructions in the box. The connections were pretty obvious, though. I hooked it up in place of the old one, found the temporary network name and password on the bottom of the case, and entered those. Then I rang up Spectrum to see how to change that network name and password. I entered a variation on the previous network's moniker and re-used the password. Done. The unit is dead silent, no soft roar like the old box.

G & R, regarding that list of unreliable Intel chipset modems: I don't see a manufacturer name on this modem. Part and serial number, and FCC ID, yes. But no company name. However, it does not say "Intel" anywhere on it or on the box it came in, or on the minimal documents. The web page said "Stand-alone routers do not have Intel chipsets." Is this a "stand-alone"?

I'll bring the old box to a Cox office today.

They were great favorites for the great unwashed to jam together in their efforts to find the perfect food glue.

147 @69/Wolfus: { G & R, regarding that list of unreliable Intel chipset modems: I don't see a manufacturer name on this modem. Part and serial number, and FCC ID, yes. But no company name. However, it does not say "Intel" anywhere on it or on the box it came in, or on the minimal documents. The web page said "Stand-alone routers do not have Intel chipsets." Is this a "stand-alone"? }

Maybe, but I'd look up the FCC ID at the FCC ID database and dig from there.

https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid

{ I'll bring the old box to a Cox office today. }

Because I was burned three times in a row by Intel Puma 6 Chipsets in three subsequent modems, and I know the problem I ran into showed up between 24 and 36 hours of runtime, I'd wait till you have the current one running perfectly for 72 hours THEN return the old one. Once you give that old box up, you'll never see it again. They disappear the old boxes with a quickness.

Also sorry for the late reply, had a very early departure for my morning bus run this morning, and just got back home now.

Monday Night ONT - November 2, 2026 [TRex]

20261022-SandyUT1980.jpg

Good evening Horde. Welcome to the Monday overnight thread. The bar is open and the refrigerator has been freshly re-stocked with Rootbeer.

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: Frostop Rootbeer stand, Sandy, Utah. The chain folded in the early 1980s.]

***

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine with very random results.

***

A-1 taxi in Laredo, Texas - 1982. The company is still operating but at a different location. It claims to be one of the longest-running taxi companies in the area. The building on the photo was on Farragut Street, but there is no evidence it still exists.

20261021-A1TaxiFarragutLaredoTX1982.jpg

***

The Ace of Clubs Lounge on Route 90 in Lake Charles, Louisiana - 1979 (not to be confused with the Ace of Spades Club ONT). No evidence the Ace of Clubs still exists (at this location or otherwise nearby) or that the building remains.

20261021-AceofClubsLoungeRt90LakeCharlesLA1979.jpg

***

Octopus Car Wash was a chain in Minneapolis ("many hands to serve you"). This location was likely on University Avenue, near the St. Paul border. All locations are closed and the plastic octopus mascots were sold off. There is a current business in Minneapolis called Octopus Car Wash & Detail center that is not related, but trying to echo the former namesake.

Anyone ever seen (or have) one of the original octopus mascots?

20261021-carwashMinneapolisMN1981.jpg

***

The Clown Motel is still operating at 521 N Main St in Tonopah, Nevada.

The motel opened in 1985, founded by siblings Leroy and Leona David. They built it next to the historic Old Tonopah Cemetery (established around 1901) as a tribute to their late father, Clarence David. Clarence, a miner who died in the 1942 Belmont Mine fire, had collected more than 150 clown figurines and statues.

It has different ownership but still operates as "America's Scariest Motel" with 31 basic rooms, ghost-hunting gear rentals and a gift shop and clown museum.

20261022-clownmotel521NMainStTonopahNV.jpg

Exact photo date unknown, but believed to be post-2019.


***


"Dinosaurland" was likely an advertisement for the region rather than a specific location by that name. No evidence this billboard still exists but this photo was taken in 1991 on Route 40 near Vernal, Utah.

20261022-DinosaurLandRt40VernalUT1991.jpg

***

Jumer's Castle Lodge, 117 N. Western Ave. in Peoria, Illinois - 1980. The building is still standing but no longer operates as the original Bavarian themed hotel and restaurant.

James Jumer opened the Lodge (with restaurant and lounge) around 1970 on the site of the former Kramer's Drive-In. The Jumer's chain expanded to several locations in Illinois and Iowa but filed for bankruptcy in 1999.

The original architecture has been preserved and the location is now an assisted living facility.

20261022-JumersCastlePeoriaIL1980.jpg

***

Beauty Shop, Browning, Montana - 1987. Believed to be on the Blackfeet Reservation but specific location unknown.

20261021-MainStBrowningMT1987.jpg

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

***

Main Street, Columbus Junction Iowa - 2003.

20261021-MainStColumbusJunctionIA2003.jpg

***

Spot Cleaners at 2701 Madison Street, Seattle, WA - 1980. Both the business and building are long gone.

20261021-SpotCleanersMadisonStSeattleWA1980.jpg

***

Union League, 140 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA - 1905.

The club was founded in 1862 as a patriotic society supporting the Union and Abraham Lincoln. The clubhouse was completed in 1865 and remains the organization's headquarters. There have been renovation and expansions but the building largely looks the same today.

20261022-unionleagephiladelphiaPA1905.jpg

***

One of roughly 20 themed fiberglass corn statues created in 2015 for the Community Corn Project by the Vinton Guild of Fine Arts. Benton County, Iowa. Still exists on the city hall grounds at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and East 4th Street.

20261023-BentonCountyVintoncornIA2016.jpg

I once found a stack of those sticky name tags at work the had 'Hello, my name is:' and then a blank spot to write your own name in.

I peeled one off of it's backing and wrote in 'Inigo Montoya' and wore it around until I was marched down to HR.

One of our Mexican brethren took offense and the 22 year old HR babe could not grok that is was a joke. Never heard of the movie. I believe that was my first HR write-up at JPMorgan.

It was a gag in the Richard Pryor/Jackie Gleason movie The Toy. Gleason's name was U.S. Bates, but everyone pronounced it U-ass. (It actually got a bit tiresome due to repetition.) It was an ok movie, but I haven't seen it anywhere for a long time. It made fun of some PC stuff.

I switched to RPN during college, and still use it. It is actually painful for me to use a "regular" calculator, as I have to intensely concentrate on every step.

For those who don't know, RPN stands for Reverse Polish Notation. It saves about 20 percent of your required keystrokes, which was a very big deal before the days of personal computers, spreadsheets, and programmable calculators.

112 AOP I've told this one before but back in the early 90s during a visit to Santa Barbara was in a small group that ended a wine-tasting day at the Cold Springs Tavern. Noticed a guy in some kind of snake-skin-looking motorcycle suit pulling up when we arrived.

Open mike one end of the room, with a chair. We were sitting facing the fireplace, other end of the room (December, so nice near the fire). At some point music starts. One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. Guy playing guitar and singing it. One of the group says "wait - damn, that sounds like Thorogood." It was. Didn't talk with him. Not that unusual to encounter singers/actors in the SB area like that, but it was funny.

RPN is always very easy and nice to implement as a stack machine type of thing. Operator precedence doesn't really matter.

As an exercise way back in college, I wrote one in C and then assembler. Very easy. Now, I also wrote a regular "forward" one. Much more complex, especially with parentheses. Both were done as simple command line that take an expression string as input and spew out the result.

I check the mail about once a week. I had two dozen shiny political mailers, all of which did not make it past the overfull trash can at the post office. I figure that's where nearly all of them, for the entire state, end up, so I doubt it will sway a single vote.

Also, you don't see yard or street signs for conservative candidates up here. Only the lefties, because those homeowners are virtue signalling like their lives depend upon it, and the rest of us, which are the majority, are voting for the conservative candidates and don't need adulation to do so.

203 I thought Breaker Morant was one of the best movies evah in setting a mood. Also great use of flashbacks. And dialogue. The actual history might have been a wee bit fudged (I don't know), when it comes to Kitchener's alleged directive to take no prisoners, but it's pretty accurate overall. And I think they took the trouble to get details right on the small stuff, which I like.

Must watch... she's so brave.
“I was one of the child victims of Donald Trump.” Dr. Larissa Portnoff, a clinical psychologist in her 30s, says it began around age 8 and resumed at 16 and 17. She thought she’d escaped “a pedophile ring,” calls Trump “clearly a pedophile and dangerous,” and says someone made an attempt on her life after her report.

Her message: “We need to get the corruption to stop. We need to use our voices. We need to get Donald Trump out of office.” And to Trump: “If you think you’re going to intimidate me, Donald Trump, it’s not going to work. I'm not afraid of you.” Please share.

275 Election Update:

I had another wild day today. Had my first interview with the New York Times (?!!) about this AirTag incident. Got the bodycam footage and put that out there a few minutes ago. It really doesn't make Hughes look good at all. I could have put out worse, but at some point I've got to look at myself and ask whether I want to stoop to the other side's level. After having considered how I believe God wants me to act, I decided to simply stop here, and let the consequences come. There's still a good chance that I'll lose anyway, because two weeks of early voting has people deciding things without having all available info beforehand. On the other hand, I have a much better chance than I would have thought two weeks ago. It can honestly go either way.

I have to live with myself, even though a loss would be a setback for my town. If I've gotten through Obama and Biden, I can get through a loss like this. It's in God's hands now.

283 I've been past the Clown Motel numerous times, and, if we're stopping, I always tease my wife wife, "C'mon, hon, lets stay at the Clown Motel. It'll be interesting."
We always stay at Tonopah Station.

Dinosaur National Monument is right outside of Vernal. It's a somewhat strange park. It's a good sized territory, and the vast majority of it is managed as wilderness/backcountry land along the Green and Yampa(?) Rivers, but one very small section is the big tourist draw - a large hilllside, covered with partially excavated, largely intact, dinosaur skeletons, easily visible from the walkway. The whole thing is covered in a giant enclosed pole barn to protect them. Before the government got the property, a number of skeletons were removed. Two of them are centerpieces in the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.
It's quite impressive.

Hello there.

Ellipsis'ss Soft Sandwich Loaf

430 g All Purpose Flour (King Arthur preferred)
1 tbsp sugar
9.5 g salt
3/4 tsp diastatic malt powder (optional but will make a difference)
2.5 tbsp baking milk powder (highly recommended)
1.5 tsp yeast
280 g water
1.2 oz baking oil (avocado is good)

Instructions/Notes to follow because I am long-winded

Posted by: ... at November 03, 2026 12:15 AM (vE0+H)

289 Ellipss'ssss Soft White Sandwich Loaf continued
1. Combine ingredients and knead with dough hook on low (KitchenAid speed 2 or 3) for 6–10 minutes, until smooth, elastic, and preferably passing the windowpane test.

2. Place in a lightly oiled container, covered, until doubled, approximately 1½–2½ hours at room temp.

3. Gently flatten into a rectangle, roll snugly into a loaf, and pinch seam closed. Look up a quick sandwich-loaf shaping video if needed.

4. Place seam-down in a parchment-lined 9×5 pan. Cover and rise until peak is about 1 inch above rim (45–90 minutes).

5. Preheat oven to 375. Bake for approximately 35 minutes. Cool on a rack before slicing.

*** You can reduce or omit the sugar but it is doing work besides adding sweetness. Can't stress how much I recommend the two optional ingredients which can both be found on Amazon. If you don't want to use milk powder, you can just replace the water with milk. But don't use both. I have a version that uses sourdough starter and yeast together and it makes a pretty huge difference but this should still make you a good bread as is. Happy to share. It took me a while to develop this one. Makes a nice soft classic white bread.

You can use a bread machine to mix up your dough instead of a kitchenaid and then just proceed from Step 2.

Ideally you want to get the dough to a windowpane consistency so you can stretch it and it makes a thin membrane instead of tearing apart. I didn't target this to any skill level I just simplified my own recipe and tried to give enough guidance.

I couldn’t make out the middle one.

Aripiprazole 5 mg is an antipsychotic medicine (brand name Abilify) used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder, and it may be used for other related mental health conditions depending on the patient. It comes as oral forms like tablets, and it is available only with a doctor’s prescription.

Lamotrigine Extended-Release 50 mg is a medication used primarily to prevent and control seizures in people with epilepsy. It works by calming overactive nerves in the body and may also be used to help manage mood swings in bipolar disorder.

It got me to thinking, though. Part of the premise of a color revolution is that the populace hears your lie that everything is illegitimate, sees you as legitimate, and accepts you stealing power. But what if the populace hears your lie that you were cheated, and enough of us say: "Good"?

What if enough of the people are so sick of all your filthy, parasitic evil that any news that "our guys" straight up cheated to keep you out of power is met with a kind of joy? I'd love to have a system based on the rule of law, but if you won't let us have that I'd settle for a system based on doing everything possible to keep you scumbags away from it.

343 188 Upper Volta was renamed Burkina Faso ("land of upright men") years ago and has an Al Qaeda problem. Last year a guy came to the range to shoot, his name appearance (black) and accent (French) of course prompted me to ask him "where ya from originally? (he's active duty Navy)".

He was stunned when I knew of Burkina Faso. Of course many might recall it because it's wonderfully named capital (Ougadougou).

My beloved fourth grade teacher assigned me to do a book report on Upper Volta. But…first thing I told her was that they just changed their name to Burkina Faso. Which they did on August 4, 1984. Guaranteed A. : )

347 333 The creeps in robes were installed by newly elected Prime Minister Donald Tusk after he was elected. He's the one that ran the liberals in.
President Karol Nawrocki would not swear the judges in because Tusk did not follow the constitution. Also two of the highest ranking judges would not participate in Tusk's attempts.

Venice in the fog


Adopting a senior pittie who had languished in the shelter for almost two years.

Dog brings her mom a treat every time the mom takes a bath.

Rescue lab's favorite game is diving and bringing up big rocks from the lake bottom.

Building apartment complexes for squirrels.

Elephant invites himself to a human's pool.

Baby seal jumps on boat to escape from a whole pod of killer whales.

Taking a golden to his first baseball game. He's a Red Sox fan so the curse of The Bambino be upon him.

Getting a weinerdog puppy for your weinerdog.

Livestock guardian dog puppy seems to be attempting to herd a two year old girl.

You shall not pass: Raccoons attempt to intimidate a cat but the cat just gives them the thousand-yard stare. Does not move at all. He merely waits, and calculates.

17 Gorgeous photo on top, Ace.

The doggie bringing gifts to the bath...he just wants her not to forget him. And tempt her to get out of the water monster.

I would have loved to have had a rock diving lab to help me build stuff. He's cool!

Our Golden, who hated water, would drop his tennis ball into the pool and stare at it til we got it out for him. No way he was going in and this was his game.

The only time he dunked his snout was in a bowl of water if there were ice cubes. He did like ice cubes and was very brave and blowing bubbles.

We know he was defective but he made up for the water deal by being the sweetest dog to ever live. It also probably saved a lot on the pool filters.

My grandfather didn't talk about WWII much. I gather he'd Seen Some Shit.

One story he would tell was about one of the islands where the women traditionally go topless. He was at a base there for a while, and (naturally) he and his fellow young GIs had no objection whatsoever to this post. It sure beat the shit out of slogging through the jungle waiting for a bunch of crazy (pardon the expression) Nips to launch a banzai charge.

Anyway, some of the natives were hired to perform various tasks. Some stick-up-the-ass officer decreed that the women MUST wear shirts at all times while they were on post, and had them issued Army t-shirts for this purpose.

The women were pleased as hell with their new finery and wore them all the time, not just when they were at work.

However, they found them rather...confining... so they soon cut two big holes in the chestal region so the girls could run wild and free.

Heh.

QUESTION 1: “Partial veto. Shall section 10 (1) (c) of article V of the constitution be amended to prohibit the governor, in exercising his or her partial veto authority, from creating or increasing or authorizing the creation or increase of any tax or fee?”

QUESTION 2: "Freedom to gather in places of worship during an emergency. Shall section 18 of article I of the constitution, which deals with religious liberty, be amended to prohibit the state or a political subdivision of the state from ordering the closure of, or forbidding gatherings in, places of worship in response to a state of emergency, including a public health emergency?"

QUESTION 3: "Governmental entity discrimination prohibited. Shall section 27 of article I of the constitution be created to prohibit governmental entities in the state from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, public contracting, or public administration?"

117 Things that I really could have lived without knowing:

Some teratomas (a type of tumor) can grow hair, teeth, etc. Sometimes even eyes!

Formerly these were thought to be a resorbed twin, but that turns out to not usually be the case.

These, I knew about.

BUT... these tumors can occasionally form in the vagina, leading to a vagina that is indeed dentata.

I now have to live with this knowledge and you do too.

Been meaning to tell you that I laughed at your comment of your husband with his walker and jet propelled with his proud gas last week.

I need to laugh because my mother, in rehab for a back fracture repair, was set to go home tomorrow. She's delayed a day or two as she got pneumonia. All is set up for her at home with 24/7 sitters, equipment, etc.

Not a huge surprise after 1 week of hospital and 2 wks of acute rehab to get pneumonia at almost 96yrs. I talked to her Saturday and she tells me to stay here.

Meanwhile, if you've seen, my wicked sister-in-law is telling me to fly home and do mother's laundry and order groceries.

I find out from mother on Sat. that her housekeeper does this.

My brother has no idea what is going on & I'm not telling him or my mother that a Jerry Springer star has suddenly arrived to mess with me in pre-grief.

Using a 1g constant acceleration trajectory (well, 1g acceleration halfway there, then flip and decelerate the other half to match course and speed with Mars), the travel time would be a mere 3 days.

@BillMelugin_

EXCLUSIVE: A Honduran illegal alien who was arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge, issued a deportation order, then ordered released from ICE detention by a Clinton-appointed federal judge on "due process" grounds has now been arrested & charged w/ raping a woman in her Minnesota home while working as a handyman after his release. Police say the rape was captured on the woman's internal home surveillance video.

Authorities in Ramsey County, MN have charged 42-year-old MARCOTULIO MELENDEZ DIAZ with felony 1st degree criminal sexual penetration w/ coercion. According to the criminal complaint, on October 11th, MELENDEZ DIAZ allegedly overpowered and repeatedly raped the female victim in her own home in Mounds View, MN against her will while working as a handyman, and the assault was captured on the woman's internal home surveillance system video. He is in custody on $150,000 bond and will face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. ICE has placed a detainer on him.

ICE sources tell FOX that MELENDEZ DIAZ was initially caught and released at the Texas border by the Biden administration in April 2024. ICE arrested him in Minnesota in January 2026 during Operation Metro Surge and transferred him to ICE detention in Texas where he initially crossed the border illegally. An immigration judge issued him a deportation order on 3/30/2026 and MELENDEZ DIAZ appealed. But on 8/7/2026, a federal judge in the Western District of Texas, Judge Orlando L. Garcia (Clinton appointee) ordered MELENDEZ DIAZ released from ICE custody and granted his habeas petition on grounds of "due process", and MELENDEZ DIAZ made his way back to Minnesota.

The Board of Immigration Appeals then rejected MELENDEZ DIAZ's appeal on 10/9/2026 and issued him a final deportation order, and two days later, police say he raped the Minnesota woman in her home.

Frustrated ICE sources say this alleged rape would have never happened if MELENDEZ DIAZ had remained in ICE custody.

I've reached out to Judge Garcia's office & courtroom deputy for comment.


Pro-terrorist antiamerican communist and adulterer Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy has suffered a stroke.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is "awake and alert" after being hospitalized for a stroke over the weekend, the New York Times reported, citing his chief of staff.

He was attending a hockey game when he suffered the stroke.

Thoughts and prayers. Well, thoughts anyway.

The Daily Kos governor of Connecticut slapped a reporter's phone from her hand when the communist was asked a question he didn't like. See, all of these fairies and pussies are tough guys now.

But Trump's so crude and aggressive! He SHREDZZZ NORMZZZ!

Churchgoers say that Haley Stevens' endorsement of Mike Rogers might change their votes.

"We can't stand with hate. We can't stand with Hasan Piker," Stevens told reporters after the morning service. "All I can do is lead with love and integrity."

...

"When young Jewish women have to hide their Star of Davids to walk across the University of Michigan campus, we have gone too far. When young men have to wear ball caps over their yarmulkes, for being Jewish, we have gone too far," Rogers said. "This is more a statement about standing together against hate and the future of this state and this country than it is anything else."

Church attendees told the Free Beacon that they were encouraged to see the display of bipartisanship at the service and that it might even change some votes.

"I thought [the joint appearance] was interesting. It could be taken as bipartisan, people working together on both sides, Democrat and Republican. That could be a good thing," the first churchgoer said. "But it also could be a dig [that] elevates the tension," she added.

Another woman leaving the church said she hadn't "made up her mind yet" on the election, but was "very pleased that [Rogers] did stay for the whole service."

"We do have a lot of candidates who come when they're running for something, and he did stay for the whole service," she said. "So I appreciate that."

Femboy terrorist mouthpiece Wajahat Ali warns that if Michigan doesn't "elect" the Muslim Brotherhood Candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, peaceful Mulsims will resort to terrorism in response:

Wajahat Ali
@WajahatAli

Nov 1

If, God forbid, Abdul loses, this will be a watershed moment in Democratic politics.

The fire will rise.

It's over.

People will be radicalized against corporate, pro-Israel Dems. There will be a reckoning.

If, when, he wins, it will be a watershed moment.

And that reckoning will still come.

Laura Loomer
@LauraLoomer


If the Trump administration and our@FBIDirectorKash doesn't conduct a raid on the home of @WajahatAli and his entire mosque by tomorrow at 10 am EST, then we will know we are a conquered country.

Muslims should not be allowed to make these types of brazen threats of Jihad.

Asked if Palestine has the right to a homeland, the Five Foot Five Fedayeen Fireplug answered immediately and simply: "Yes."

Asked if Israel has the right to a homeland, he said "Yes, but... Israel will have to accept" conditions he doesn't spell out, but which, in another answer, seem to be that Israel will have to accept that Palestinians have the right not just to Gaza and the West Bank but all of Israel.

So yes, Israel can exist, so long as it is actually Arab-dominated Palestine.


Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (and how I pray to the Lord I never have to write that name again after tomorrow, except in a post-mortem (and you can take that as you wish)) says that boys should be allowed to wag their pickles in front of girls in changing rooms because we have the internet now and you can see anything you want to see so obviously young girls should be forced to look at weirdo's cocks against their consent.

It's just the "free flow of information," you know.



DOUTHAT: What is taught in school? What happens with transgender kids on sports teams and so on, right? Like, these are places where rights are in conflict. Right? What do you think happens there?

EL-SAYED: I don't know if that's actually true. I think we manufacture these social issues, because here's the thing about it. Ross, you have an iPhone in your pocket, probably. Or is it iPhone or Samsung? You have a phone in your pocket, right?

DOUTHAT: Yeah.

EL-SAYED: You can get access to everything and anything in the whole world, all the world's information in your pocket. The notion, somehow, that you are going to prevent your child from being exposed to something that you may find disagreeable, and that that is going to be because of school, is so profoundly outdated.

So what you're saying is that it's okay to f*** nine year old girls because porn exists?

Because, of course, you have all the information, and they have all the information. So here's the thing about it. I think it's really important for us to recognize that the free flow of information is actually a beautiful thing.

It's really important. And the most important thing you can do is not try to protect a person from seeing a thing. It's about trying to make sure you coach your kid through the world that you are engaging with them and saying, 'here's what I believe, here's what you may see in the world, you get to make your choices about who you're going to be in the world.' But that's going to require us to make do with the fact that, like, the internet is a real thing, and this debate about, like, quote-unquote what's taught in the classroom, I think has been made into a cultural flashpoint, because a lot of the folks who want to make this a topic of conversation don't want to be talking about the real issues that we face.

Rich Lowry
@RichLowry

In trying to minimize the wrong of girls being exposed to male genitalia in locker rooms, AES proves much, too much.

He advances an argument that would mean adults never trying to protect kids from *anything*, since they can be exposed, in theory, to whatever it is on the internet at any time.

What is supposed to be a clever defense of the indefensible turns out to be one of the most sweeping, and stupid, arguments we've ever heard for trans radicalism

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed rejects, get this, the two state solution and argues that Palestinians' have a "right to self-determination" over all of Israel.

But remember, all he wants to talk about is "affordability" and health care, right?

HOLY SH*T. A 15yo girl in Maryland ESCAPED an attempted kidnapping after Abubakarr Barrie, an ILLEGAL ALIEN, allegedly took her to a basement and tried to K*LL her.

The girl managed to fight off her attacker and then flee while suffering from a collapsed lung.

Barrie was released into the country under Biden. He was released from NYPD custody a few months ago despite having an ICE detainer.

He’s now facing multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping.

This is Democrats’ vision for our country.

- kids' favorite (the sort of food they eat to the tantrum-throwing exclusion of all others, like dinosaur-shaped chicken tenders)

104 Nicki Minaj vs. Bruce Springsteen — Audience Reach
These two artists have very different audiences.

Nicki Minaj has the advantage in contemporary digital reach, particularly among younger listeners. Bruce Springsteen has the advantage in longevity, multigenerational recognition, and the ability to attract enormous audiences to live concerts.

The important distinction is between how many people listen to an artist regularly, how many follow them, and how many will actually buy a concert ticket.
Current audience comparison

Figures reported November 1, 2026, primarily from Chartmetric.
Metric Nicki Minaj Bruce Springsteen
Spotify monthly listeners 45.5 million 22.2 million
Instagram followers 223.7 million 2.4 million
YouTube subscribers 28.5 million 2.6 million
YouTube lifetime views 13 billion 3.2 billion
Spotify followers 35.3 million 8.1 million

And Nicki LOVES President Trump. No Instagram. I wanted to tell her today how much I like her.

That's my reaction to most "flavored" coffees. They are too cloying, esp. when you put a bit of sweetener in them (which I proudly admit to doing). Cinnamon doesn't dissolve easily, it gloms up the flavor, and it floats on the surface of the coffee and winds up on your tongue.

127 Little-known food fact:

The substance in 95+% of modern "cinnamon" products is actually "cassia," a related species branded by marketing departments at "Saigon Cinnamon," because it can be grown in Southeast Asia -- but technically speaking isn't true cinnamon, but merely a distantly related species that tatses somewhat similar.

TRUE cinnamon ONLY grows in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), cost up to 5x as much, and tastes (according to afficionados) 20x better. But because most Americans have only ever taste "cassia" mislabled as "cinnamon," they by now actually prefer cassia, think that "that;s waht cinnamon iis," and would find true cinnoman slightly bizarre-tasting and unfamiliar.

*My voice recognition transcribed his name as "watch a Halloween hat", which is oddly appropriate given his statement American is going to get violent jihad from the Muslims like it or not.

I read a story about a nutcase (I have to assume a liberal save the world vs a missionary) who tried to make friends with cannibals in the Amazon. It didn't end well for him.

Prior to this he noted the nekkid men with spears would swarm out to his boat as the women and children sheltered. He never got to see them, sadly.

Of course I have no idea where I saw this story but it was in the last few years. I didn't dream it.

I did dream 20yrs ago that Judge Judy died. I didn't watch Judge Judy but told my father this and he believed me. About two weeks later he called me laughing that I was full of baloney, but had convinced him. I am very convincing.

We never added my father's oral military history diaries to the Library of Congress due to stories like this that he laughed through as he told us. However, we liked them.

I had ordered the questions and we videoed him. Sometimes he was laughing at me trying to use the new camera. Sometimes I had to cut the video because mother would walk through yapping about a cousin's phone call. It is not professional at all.

My grandfather didn't talk about WWII much. I gather he'd Seen Some Shit.

One story he would tell was about one of the islands where the women traditionally go topless. He was at a base there for a while, and (naturally) he and his fellow young GIs had no objection whatsoever to this post. It sure beat the shit out of slogging through the jungle waiting for a bunch of crazy (pardon the expression) Nips to launch a banzai charge.

Anyway, some of the natives were hired to perform various tasks. Some stick-up-the-ass officer decreed that the women MUST wear shirts at all times while they were on post, and had them issued Army t-shirts for this purpose.

The women were pleased as hell with their new finery and wore them all the time, not just when they were at work.

However, they found them rather...confining... so they soon cut two big holes in the chestal region so the girls could run wild and free.

Heh.

Polls Are Made for Strippers and They Get Greasy and Slippery Around Closing Time

The New York Times admits that Republicans are 30% less likely to respond to polls at all.

And if a group disfavored by the media party refuses to answer at such high rates -- what is the skew within that group? That is, among the Republicans who do answer, is it the case that Republicans voting Democrat are the most likely "Republicans" to answer a leftwing pollster's questions?

I don't know. Seems likely to me, though.


Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 UPDATE: New York Times just warned their blue wave final midterm polls are being flooded by white Democrats, with white Republicans answering **LESS THAN 2020**

"The persistence of this kind of nonresponse bias introduces the risk of a systematic polling error like those in 2016 or 2020."

"This cycle, Democrats are once again responding to Times/Siena polls at a much higher rate than Republicans. Across these final battleground polls, registered white Democrats were about 30 percent likelier to take the poll than registered white Republicans. That's actually a bit higher than in the final polls in 2020."

Show up.

Make their worst fears come true.

I suppose it's also possible that Republicans aren't answering pollsters' phone calls because we're dispirited or ashamed of our votes for Trump -- but, of course, pollsters also predicted big wins for Democrats in 2024. NBC claimed that Kamala Harris would smoke Trump by 5 points.

CNN's Harry Enten has been warning Democrats that the polls routinely, persistently, systematically overstate Democrat vote-share by around 3.5% in every single election, and if you adjust current poll figures to reflect that, suddenly Democrat gains in the Senate vanish into gas like yesteday's chalupa from Brian Stelter's colon.

c Abbenante
@EricAbbenante

Oct 30

Harry Enten looks over the 'spooky data' for the Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms:

Harry Enten: "They need to win in states that Donald John Trump didn't just win two years ago, but won by double digits.

Senate flips in states that the party lost by ten or more points in the last presidential election.

The number is 0 since 2011.

There have been times in which the polls actually suggested, hey, Republicans might actually lose in some of these Trump won states. And then it didn't happen. And we've seen it happen time and in time out.

GOP has beat the final Senate poll average by 4.1 points in states Trump won in the prior presidential election.

So if the past polling errors hold in these Trump one states, then all of a sudden Republicans are able to hold on to the United States Senate and with ease."

Wave goodbye, to the blue wave.

Communist front-group NBC has a poll that shows Republicans with a higher approval rating than Democrats, and higher approval on most of the main issues of the campaign, but you wouldn't know that from NBC's headline:

NBC News
@NBCNews

A new national NBC News poll finds key groups that boosted Trump in 2024 are shifting toward Democrats ahead of Tuesday's elections.

What they mean is that some left-leaning groups that shifted towards Trump in 2024 are now shifting back to the Democrats.

Which is what I'd expect, and it is a problem.

But here's what they're not highlighting:



Ed Morrissey:

Pollsters know this better than anyone. How are they addressing their pending credibility crisis? Some, like NBC's pollster, have shifted sharply away from their blue-wave predictions. Their new data shows Republicans suddenly leading on all of the presumed big issues in the election -- the economy, immigration, and corruption:

Even on the unpopular Iran war, Democrats only lead by five points, and only by one point on inflation, AKA "affordability." It's a wash on "protecting democracy," even before respondents got to absorb Democrats' attempt to defraud voters in Alaska with The Two Dans Sullivan plot. The GOP has a two-point lead on the economy, a five-point margin on corruption, and an eleven-point lead on immigration despite the two-year hysterics Democrats and the media have pitched over ICE and deportations.

Democrats lead on inflation by a single point -- one single point -- and on Iran by 5%.

24 Polls are devised to accomplish three things:
- Excite Democrat voters, boosting turnout
- Encourage Democrat donors to give money to the "winning side"
- depress GOP voters and lower GOP turnout

Recall the Des Moines Register poll in late 2024 that showed Trump behind in Iowa by 3 points.
He won the state by 12 points.

There's no post-election accountability, so these corrupt pollsters know they can just keep doing these bogus polls and their media allies happily parrot them 24/7.

33 I've seen and heard a lot of pretty compelling reasons why polls might be *under*-representing Democratic votes, but not much going the other way.

If Dems get 54 seat and Grassley dies, that’s 55. Plus in 2028 picking off North Carolina, Wisconsin gives them 57. Ohio and Florida are special elections and if Murkowski retires, there’s a shot they can get 60 senate seats. Unlikely, but possible.

They will nuke the filibuster. We won't need 60.

Republicans have done an impressive, truly impressive job of shitting the bed and tanking their numbers. This is always what aligning with Trump will ultimately get you.

2028 better all be about corruption or dems don’t have a good chance. Hopefully the house exposes something

Given how the corruption story has FINALLY broken through, it will be a major part of the 2026 Blue wave, even if the Dems didn't fully capitalize on it.

Sorry what corruption story?

Is this a serious question? More like it hit a critical mass. What breaks through is “corruption at the expense of regular Americans”. Which need time for the “let them eat cake while we build the data centers” to develop.

I picked up a Political Call once and it was a pollster asking me about a survey of who I was voting for. I lied about most, but not all of them. In the last month or so, I continue to pick up many of the Political Calls, just to mess with their surveys, and never, ever tell them what I am really thinking. According to their survey results, I have to be a Democrat activist by now.

Even honest polls miss swings in turnout when some cohorts unexpectedly get off their asses and vote.

Happened in 2016 when Hillary was 95% certain to win, because the polls said so. They missed White Non-College coming out for Trump, unexpectedly.
(I called 300+ EVs with a 5% increase in White Non-College)

And if you use that old weighting, the polls understate Dems by 2-5 points.

Or:
250 in the House and 55 in the Senate.

Rs holding the Senate will crush them.
Holding both will obliterate them.

But, I'll do something nobody has probably ever done at this site. At least for a decade. Here's a TIME MAGAZINE article.

How Nicki Minaj Went MAGA

The best-selling female rapper in history has just addressed the World Liberty Forum, a crypto confab hosted by Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. She pauses to take in the decor, asking about portraits of Trump and of Mar-a-Lago’s original owner, Marjorie Merriweather Post. Admiring The Visionary, she remarks that Trump has a unique aura. “It’s the same way Marilyn Monroe represents a vibe,” she says. “Donald Trump is his own vibe.”

So is Minaj. She is wearing a shiny gold satin jacket, diamonds as big as the Ritz, and fluffy high heels. At 43, she is one of the defining pop-rap figures of the era, with more than 130 Billboard Hot 100 entries, more than 20 BET Awards, tens of billions of global streams, and a social media reach exceeding 200 million followers. Yet her turn from provocative, path-breaking artist to Trump acolyte has made her a pariah to some in the music industry and surprised her fan base

95 I remember the skew in the polls watching Florida 10-20 years ago as it shifted from purple to red.

Every year, the Republicans gained in net voter registrations, and eventually surpassed the number of registered Democrats.

Yet I would still see polls actually weighted something like 39/35 Democrats over Republicans.

When a pollster skews against the known actual weighting, they are not attempting to accurately predict the election results, and therefore must have some OTHER goal.

The pollsters frequently play this game, and it has gotten so bad that they work very hard NOT to publish their cross-tabs.

98 re 74: so paxton wins by five. updates to be covered in the gnational mosquito and weekend arsewipe

Posted by: gnats local 678 at November 02, 2026 05:40 PM (CWTWj)

99 I'll repeat what I said this morning:

There is no historical basis for a state that went 10%+ for the President to swing 5% to the other party in the midterm.
None.
Not even Obamamania.
Not even Watergate.

But there is historical precedent for a President to expand his party in the House and Senate--defying historical trends:
W in 2002.

And he did it almost all in states he'd won in 2000.

Say, where has Trump been holding rally after rally after rally?

While Trump is some 20-30% lower over-all approval than W had, he has a 5-7% higher intra-party approval than W did at that time.

Why oh why did Trump keep going to red states?!

Ari Hoffman says, "I know that number is not accurate because I have covered close to 30 stories of boys stealing awards, scholarships, and championships from girls"

WIAA when confronted by Ari, "We acknowledge that there are likely others we are not aware of. The WIAA does not maintain a definitive count of participating transgender student-athletes, as transgender students are not identified by state law; therefore, no defined quantities exist."

And yet you put the statement out there and leftist reporters eagerly repeated your lie.

That is why they now have color weather radars in the planes.

But if the storm clouds and rain are intense enough, it may absorb all the radar beams and present an 'opening' in the storm to fly through.

Sure,sure I've had a couple of random text political ads I quickly block. I also don't answer the door to guys with a tablet in their hands as I can see the dweebs with my phone and can't be bothered.

Polls have gone the way of reading the news on paper daily, along with the propaganda they spread since I was in college. They are meaningless in my obviously biased and pompous, flatulent opinion.

If anyone but a raging lesbo or trans or antifa, blind to their own bias, think polls are important then, well, scream at the sky. You are dumb-dumbs to start with and I can't hear you!

From the peeps I visit for plane info, they were trying to get above the storm that was threatening icing then started getting precipitation. If that overloaded and started icing, the plane might stall and fall out of the sky like a brick. It did come down like a lawn dart.

Very early days though.
Posted by: Oldcat at November 02, 2026 05:44 PM (uhVAy)

They had turbulence then icing, so I read. Were advised to go higher above the small cell they flew into. After avoiding the big one.

It was assumed, as it is early, the turbulence and overspeeding had them then lose the horizontal stabilizer and it was a done deal at this point. And/or if the wing de-icer thingie was broken. However, pilot comments I read said it was done once they lost the horizontal stabilizer, which I would not recognize if it arrived and rang my doorbell.

It was fast and over minutes from a chart I saw with the radar. The pilots knew 90 seconds prior to death. Which seems a short period of time until you are living in terror

In your particular hamlet, there will be a number of desperate, sweaty crooks and pederasts who will win this election, and feather their squalid little nests with your pilfered money for the duration of their terms.

They will win re-election, and soak their beaks once again, and then retch up your endless largesse into the squalling beaks of their ravenous young, for whom you will also dutifully vote, well into your senescence.

We hereby secure our sterling reputation as America's most accurate polling firm. Have a great couple of years!

Oh, so that means 60% WERE registered?

And, that 40% number is from a leftie activist group that does not have the full DOJ spreadsheet, that was several columns past the hard copy they gave to CA.

I still think the funniest part of this is, that CA refused to give the DOJ their list.

184 How many small plane crashes are due to fricking weather?

In my (dubious) memory, it certainly seems to be the majority.

I have watched storms sweep across the radar or satellite views for decades related to my job.

IMO, most of the time, just waiting four hours would significantly change your odds of encountering dangerous storm conditions.

Playing russian roulette to save four hours of your time (and perhaps your loved ones' time) seems like an exceedingly poor risk assessment to me.

Yes. Apparently at the same time she was telling ATC there was ice on the wings (-57 degrees F) and no control,plummeting to the ground after being told to fly higher and they couldn't. BF got texts saying the same.

The 55yr old pilot was trying but it was hopeless as the plane was falling apart. I read a an estimate of the fall at 600mph or .9 Mach. This lear could maybe handle .8 Mach. I have no idea as I haven't had learing about Lear's and am only typing what I leared.

I read this but have no idea what I am talking about. I am basically the Golden Retriever at the keyboard who reads fast and remembers facts. But have not made anything up, please keep that in mind. It was simply horrific and a miracle no one was injured or died on the ground.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 02, 2026 05:57 PM (hzuYO)

The "horizontal stabilizers" are the small winglike panels at the tail end. The one that sticks up is the vertical stabilizer. All of them have adjustable surfaces for controlling the craft. I'm less sure they are really missing rather than just not brought out in the few frames between leaving the overcast and hitting the ground. On some clips it is hard to see even the wings and the pilots don't seem to comment on their plane coming apart as they are dropping.

I saw a show of a British archaeology team excavating a WWII spitfire plane that had crashed in a French field early in the war. It also came straight down and the entire 30 some foot long plane's body was compressed into a stack something like 6-8 foot tall. They even found a small chain off the pilot's jacket and gave it to the fellow's brother.

212 It doesn't really sound like the young (20) female pilot is particularly at fault here. Weather, the bad decision to travel into it, icing and resulting inability to control the aircraft sounds like it will account for the crash.

But I do think, all things being equal, most people do not want to board a civilian aircraft and see a 20-year-old in the cockpit in any capacity. Experience and maturity are likely big advantages in emergency situations in particular.

Your horses are so smart you should probably have cut some little holes in the floor of the trailer.

That way, when you hit the black ice, the horses could put their hooves down on the black ice and do a little "Flintstones" driving to keep the trailer from jack-knifing!

262 From the article -

Of course, there is also the possibility that the low resolution dashcam footage of the crash just didn’t capture the horizontal stabiliser due to the speed of the crash. A thin surface such as this could be difficult to distiguish in such footage.

It is now the job of the air crash investigation team to establish the cause of the incident. The complete destruction of the wreckage on impact will make that job harder, but flight data recorders, cockpit voice recorders and other data will add valuable evidence to the outcome of this tragic event.

I think they can based on what I've read. On commercial airliners they are equipped with deicer heater things. As well as a coating of stuff at the airports I fly in and out of.

This happened very fast in that very small cell they flew into. The panic indicates it was sudden.

ATC told her to fly higher and they couldn't. I think due to something being messed up from turbulence.

Big planes can withstand more weather, I have to assume, after being on a few that did. One nearly went into a Dutch Roll, which is to be avoided, altho the entire plane dropped straight down 10k feet (in 1981 and didn't make the news).

I haven't been alarmed by turbulence since then. Maybe I should be, but I figure it will be pretty fast.

The Coup In Poland

The globalists launched another coup.

When the right took power, they installed judges they liked, which the left could not abide.

This entire coup is a dry run for what they plan in America -- take over the courts, pack them with leftists who will rubber-stamp every authoritarian measure the left decrees.

Crisis began with right-wing victory, court control

The Constitutional Tribunal is responsible for checking the compatibility of laws, policies and international agreements with the national constitution.

It has been a major bone of contention between the current pro-European government and the main opposition party, national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS).

PiS drastically transformed the country's justice system after winning election in 2015, including establishing political control over top courts such as the Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Court. This was done in part by cancelling the appointments of judges selected by the previous government and choosing its own.

Back in 2016, opponents of Law and Justice protested outside the building shouting "Democracy!" and "Constitution!"

The European Union's top court ruled in December 2025 that the Constitutional Tribunal was not "independent and impartial," because of politicized appointments made by the since-defeated Law and Justice government. The EU withheld billions of euros in funds to Poland during the nationalist PiS-led governments of 2015 to 2023, saying their judiciary reforms had subverted democratic checks and balances.

And when leftists dominated the courts, they were of course "independent and impartial," according to the EU.

Pro-EU government promises to reform court

After Donald Tusk's pro-European coalition took office ​in 2023, it pledged to restore the rule of law and reform the court.

Yes, "reform" of the same kind Democrats are vowing for the US.


But President Karol Nawrocki, a Law and Justice ally, has acted to thwart those ⁠efforts since his election as president in 2025. Earlier this year, Nawrocki refused to swear in several judges nominated by parliament.

Which I assume he has the power to do.


Meanwhile, the tribunal's chief judge, Bogdan Swieczkowski, a former deputy justice minister in the Law and Justice administration, declined to seat judges elected by the current parliamentary majority.

So to "save democracy," they stripped duly elected and appointed officials of their offices.

Sound familiar?


A statement appeared on the tribunal's website on Friday saying Swieczkowski had been suspended. "Restoring the rule of law is our obligation," Prime Minister Tusk wrote on X on Friday evening. "After years of lawlessness under PiS this is a difficult process, sometimes painful and it requires decisive action. There is no other way."

Eggs must be broken for omelets to be made.


"I am certain that the Constitutional Tribunal will function as it ​should," he said in a televised speech. "Also, independently of me and in line with the constitution.

"The task of the executive branch, and therefore mine, is to ensure its ​safety and working conditions, and I intend to fulfil my duty."

To ensure "safety" I have to assume all powers of a dictator.

Again: Sound familiar?


A Polish MEP explains:


I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸
@ImMeme0

Oct 31

Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński is explaining what is happening right now at Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, calling it nothing less than a COUP D'ÉTAT!

"In Poland, we have a liberal-left government led by Donald Tusk, who is the Prime Minister. What is happening right now with the Constitutional Tribunal is that they want to take it over and fill it with their own people.

Why? Because they want to get rid of the Polish currency, bring us into the eurozone, and eliminate our secure borders. They are being pushed by the Germans, who want to spread the burden of illegal migration and send migrants to Poland.

First of all, the Polish złoty is our constitutionally protected currency. They have to change the Constitution to replace it, and without the Constitutional Tribunal, they cannot do that.

>b?So, number one, they want to get rid of our currency and force us to adopt the euro and join the eurozone. Then they want to take our gold reserves, the largest in the European Union, to Frankfurt, to the European Central Bank, which is a German-based institution.

They also want to open our borders. And they want to make sure that when they lose the next elections, which are coming next year, the Constitutional Tribunal will be unable to do anything to stop their actions or reverse what they have done.

There are many more reasons, but I want you to understand one thing: they are under German influence. They are globalists, and we are fighting not just for Poland, but for Europe.

Be like Poland. Be strong. Our nation is strong, and we are going to win this fight!"






Coincidence Alert:




Comrade Arthur linked this, noting that this is the reason the left is so determined to drive Pete Hegseth out of office and have a leftist globalist proto-tyrant put in his place.

You can't win a Color Revolution without having the military's leadership as co-conspirators.

InfantryDort
@infantrydort

And now we understand the absolutely rabid obsession with destroying Pete Hegseth.

I've been in the Army since before 9/11. Served under many secretaries.

Only in the past 18 months have I experienced:

>politicians warning me not to follow illegal orders
>billboards outside military bases telling me to report war crimes
>the media attacking anyone who has a positive thing to say about the man, and defending anyone who hates him
>stunning volume of leaks from senior officials trying to undermine him, and the lionizing of the leakers by the press
>being called a war criminal myself, hundreds of times a day
>a sustained media narrative portraying virtually every firing or senior officer removal as a "purge"
>public efforts by retired officers, advocacy groups, and political figures to mobilize service members and military communities against administration policies
>influential "Americans" publicly cheering for Iran

This is just to name a few. I've NEVER experienced anything like this before. And it's becoming abundantly clear that the concerted effort to divide the military from within was stunted when Hegseth took over. Anyone desiring color revolution needs control of the military. That's color revolution 101.

Is it starting to make sense yet? Now you see the obsession over him in particular. It's not a coincidence. And it damn sure isn't because of his culture war.

It's because by all objective metrics, he runs a military that snatches rogue leaders from their beds, destroys entire militaries, and successfully mobilizes assets to save one downed pilot in the middle of enemy territory by building an Air Force base... in the middle of enemy territory. Secures the border, dominates the hemisphere. Hunts drug cartels. The list goes on.

He is by all meaningful accounts, effective at wielding the machine. And that is why they drool at the thought of removing him.

In years past you'd be hard pressed to find a junior Soldier who knew the name of the cabinet secretary above them.

Every one of them knows Pete Hegseth.

Every one.

Posted by: JackStraw at November 02, 2026 04:31 PM (viF8m)

Sorry..curious- AI

The Insurrection Act gives the President of the United States extraordinary authority to deploy federal troops, including active-duty military forces, inside the country to enforce federal law or suppress certain forms of domestic unrest.

It is one of the major exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, which ordinarily restricts the military from performing civilian law-enforcement duties.

Importantly, the President does not always need a governor's permission or a declaration of martial law to invoke it.
What powers does the President have?

Authority What it permits
10 U.S.C. § 251 Deploy troops at a state's request to suppress an insurrection

Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 106.5 years old! Puppy at heart! at November 02, 2026 04:38 PM (Sco7b)

65 10 U.S.C. § 252 Deploy troops without a state's request when federal laws cannot be enforced through ordinary judicial proceedings
10 U.S.C. § 253 Deploy troops to address certain civil-rights violations or obstruction of federal law
10 U.S.C. § 254 Requires a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before troops are used under the Act

These powers are substantial, but they are not unlimited.
Can the President act without a governor's consent?
Yes. Under Sections 252 and 253, the President can deploy troops without a governor requesting assistance, provided the statutory conditions are met.
LII / Legal Information Institute+1


For example, federal troops could be deployed when serious obstruction makes ordinary enforcement of federal law impracticable.

However, invoking the Act does not automatically authorize the President to:
- Suspend the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
- Cancel or postpone federal elections.
- Dissolve Congress or state legislatures.
- Declare unlimited martial law.
- Arrest people merely for expressing political opposition.
Military operations remain subject to constitutional restrictions, and presidential actions can face judicial challenges.

Poland has a President (and VP) and a Prime Minister who is not the head of state. A few years ago Tusk was voted in by a pretty shady election and is very Pro EU. Lets call him "Speaker of the House".

When the President was out of the country Tusk had some random judge claim the President and VP were deposed, and the police barricaded themselves into a government building. As the President flew back citizens and some government forces surrounded the place and started breaking in. Deposing the Executive Branch on one judges say so is not based in the Polish constitution.

I'm reading Stalin’s War: A New History of World War II, by Sean McMeekin. It's an excellent history of what Stalin did leading up to the war, and almost makes you understand why Hitler did what he did. Stalin wasn't less aggressive, he was planning to attack Germany as soon as his forces were ready. The Germans were just faster off the mark and had better planning and logistics. Stalin actually had multiples of planes, tanks, and guns compared to the Dritte Reich. He just used them really stupidly.

91 The whole Poland thing sucks for the Poles. I really enjoyed traveling there and the people are inordinately kind and welcoming and helpful to foreigners. They eat and drink well, and their women are beautiful.

I figured on this being a EU power-grab against the Slavs, and it is. But I didn't know the wrinkle about all that gold. That may well be a major motive. German banks have been greedy for Slav gold since time immemorial.

94 Stalin wasn't less aggressive, he was planning to attack Germany as soon as his forces were ready.

Its more complicated then that.

The Soviets initially sought a more extensive alliance with Germany, after Poland they offered Germany an agreement where they would attack British allied Iran and then British India but the Germans turned them down

Yes, of course, but Stalin wanted Germany to fight BG/America, thus weakening both capitalist countries and opening the door for global Communism, directed by guess who. It is the height of irony that he accused us of delaying a second front in order to weaken him.

Assuming the early vote is the baseline.

If 95% of Rs and Ds vote for their own party's candidate.

If all remaining 3/4 and 4/4 voters of all affiliations vote (any fails to vote across the affiliations should cancel each other out and be largely immaterial).

If the Unaffiliated voters only push about 2% leftwards from 2024 (imputed to be 53% Republican in 2024).

Whatley may win by about 40,000 votes (roughly 1%).

One way or another, I think NC is going to surprise people. Polling average is Cooper+8. I think it'll actually be a nailbiter that Whatley could win.

172 I keep up my conversation with ChatGPT about NC Senate.

Assuming the early vote is the baseline.

If 95% of Rs and Ds vote for their own party's candidate.

If all remaining 3/4 and 4/4 voters of all affiliations vote (any fails to vote across the affiliations should cancel each other out and be largely immaterial).

If the Unaffiliated voters only push about 2% leftwards from 2024 (imputed to be 53% Republican in 2024).

Whatley may win by about 40,000 votes (roughly 1%).

One way or another, I think NC is going to surprise people. Polling average is Cooper+8. I think it'll actually be a nailbiter that Whatley could win.

175 I remember a TV show from the late Oughts called "Burn Notice", it was on cable TV. There was this very hot babe that was one of the stars, an English actress, and her character was Fiona. Burn Notice was about spies getting burned by the CIA or equivalent if they stepped out of line, so they would escape plots to be killed.
In one scene, they had identified nefarious men who were plotting to get them and they were thinking about various ways to stop it. After a bunch of failed ideas, after a pause, Fiona asks her friends in her hot English accent, "Can we shoot them?" The scene became part of the opening credits. Watching the scene of her say that every week was hot, at least to me.
Somehow this memory appeared in my mind as I am reading about the Polish coup d'état.
I also suddenly have an urge to inventory my ammo stash.
My thoughts are all over the map today.

The early vote lead is very big for Democrats.

But the remaining vote is very Republican, the remaining 3/4 and 4/4 voters are very Republican, and Unaffiliated voters (different from independents) have been Republican in the state for a long time.

If Democrats see issues in WNC, with blacks, and with the youth vote, (which...all three should happen because WNC hates Cooper, blacks have issues with the party this year, and the youth don't vote in midterms), then it's going to be close, at least.

200 and recently governments have been telling their citizens to prepare for "emergencies" by storing food and water, etc. Even the US is doing this. Do they expect drone attacks, or maybe terrorists (which Biden brought in by the thousands)?

idk, but most civilians are not prepared. A poll said only 7% are prepared with food for 3 months. So if some "go signal" came and the jihadists and Antifa (and whomever) thought it was time to "Destroy the Western Devils, we could have something worse than a "Summer of Saint Floyd Love".

A problem is those that do prep are not safe from those that don't, so massive chaos could ensue.

The prime minister is employing his police powers to arrest and oust the illegal appointees. Right-wing activists are actively protesting the move.

If someone calls it a coup you need to be wary as it means one of things:
1. You read a post made by Russian bot (X was expoding from those 'Sigma' 'Blessed' 'Patriotoc' accounts)
2. You read a post from a Far Right politician
3. You read a post from someone who fell for points 1/2
There is no coup basically

Sadly, there is no notable left wing parties in Poland which have let's say "common pole" program, two or maybe three small parties are concentrated mostly on LGBT topics

223 I told ChatGPT to forget all polling and modeling, and just take a fresh look at registration and voting behavior over the last few cycles to inform a guess on ranges for each candidate in 2026 in the NC Senate race:

"Observed inputs
- NC midterm turnout: ~3.75–3.8m in 2018/2022
- Republican turnout historically exceeds Democratic turnout
- UA turnout historically trails both
- Registered UA population has become increasingly large
- Recent inferred UA general-election preference: approximately 53–58% Republican
- Party voters generally vote for their party's nominee at very high rates
Resulting historical-data scenario band:
Cooper ~48–51%
Whatley ~49–52%

with a broader outer envelope of roughly 47–53% for either candidate if we allow the UA electorate and total turnout to move toward the edges of what the recent data permit."

And polling says it should be a blowout. Interesting.

The Objective and Completely Unbiased Media Attacks Haley Stevens for Not Endorsing the Candidate They Totally Aren't Supporting

The Democrats are considering stripping Haley Stevens of all congressional powers she might owe to the party.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday indicated that Democrats would consider their "next steps" on Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., when lawmakers return to Washington after the midterm elections.

Stevens earned near-universal condemnation from Democrats this weekend after she broke ranks to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., to represent the Wolverine State in the Senate. Rogers is facing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who narrowly defeated Stevens in the party primary.

"We will have a discussion about appropriate next steps upon our return," Jeffries told Politico on Monday. "Haley Stevens made a terrible decision, blindsided everyone and isolated herself from the House Democratic Caucus."

Democrat propagandist Anderson Cooper shed any pretense of being a journalist and just attacked Stevens for flip-flopping, as she had earlier (begrudgingly) endorsed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Stevens kept explaining why she had changed her position, but the Objective and Neutral Journalist Who Supports Women just kept interrupting and talking over her and re-asking the same question-- why did you change your mind? -- with a tone that suggested maybe it must be just because of her menses.

Cooper repeatedly rejected her explanation that it was about Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's open embrace of anti-semitic tropes and influencers. Cooper's too smart to buy that convenient story.



Yes, Chunk Uggo just said that. Van Jones, like many black leftwing Democrats, doesn't fully support the rather obvious Muslim Supremacy agenda, therefore he's a dirty Jew-lover.

Cenk Uygur
@cenkuygur

Oct 31
If you're black, I have the easiest Halloween costume for you. Wrap an Israeli flag around you, and just start calling everyone you see an antisemite. Voila, you're @VanJones68.


Anderson Cooper just can't understand a very simple proposition:

Eyal Yakoby
@EYakoby

Haley Stevens:

"I don't like seeing the Democratic nominee standing with a person who said America deserves 9/11."

Byron York
@ByronYork

"It sounds like you're upset with me, too, Anderson." Indeed, it did. But did Haley Stevens expect that, by switching her support from a Democrat to a Republican, she would receive the media's Liz Cheney Country Over Party award? If so, she was badly mistaken.

I'm not kidding about Anderson Cooper implying that maybe Hayley Stevens is just crazy due to her Monthly Woman Problems. Here zhe is lapping it up as Debbie Dingell suggests that Stevens might just be mentally unwell.

"I have been worried about her all week," Dingell says. In other words: concerned about her mental stability.

Anderson Cooper just nods. But zhe'll freak out of Trump says Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her wherever."

Meanwhile, the Muslim Manlet Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, who is Five Foot Nothin' but thinks he's a super-tough guy who can bully anyone around him with his Big Shrimp Energy, does what he literally always does and tells the press that they're not allowed to ask him any questions that cast him in a negative light.

Remember, when Trump does this, it's an Assault on Our Cherished Fourth Estate, but when Princess Tinymeat here does it, he's just being a rambunctious little scamp!


Andrew Stiles has documented the Muslim Manlet's practice of bullying the women and effeminate beta men who cover him by constantly berating them and telling them they're only allowed to ask him about Affordability and the Drumpfuhrer.

This may be funny, but it's also 100% accurate.


WATCH: Abdul El-Sayed Mansplains Journalism


Democrat channels 'small-dog energy' in yappy outbursts when pressed on ties to terror groups and sympathizers


Abdul El-Sayed exudes a volatile combination of "toxic masculinity" and "small-dog energy" on the campaign trail, especially when fielding questions from the press. The Michigan Democrat, who claims to be 5-foot-9 in basketball shoes, is trying to become one of the shortest men to serve in the U.S. Senate since the advent of modern nutrition.

When questioned, El-Sayed has a tendency to yap incessantly while lecturing journalists--mostly the female ones--on how to do their jobs. This is sometimes referred to as mansplaining and is generally regarded as obnoxious. El-Sayed is particularly sensitive to questions about his familial ties to terrorist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as his many relationships with individuals who support terrorism. He has repeatedly suggested that reporters who ask those questions are racist and un-American.

Some would argue that El-Sayed's relentless bullying of hardworking journalists is an assault on the First Amendment that threatens to erode the foundations of our cherished democracy. Alas, it is consistent with the sentiment expressed in a letter the candidate signed in 2012 urging Egypt's then-newly-elected president, Mohamed Morsi, and the Muslim Brotherhood to "purge the media ... as quickly as possible."

"No, no, no, no, no. Let me just stop there," El-Sayed recently interrupted Fox News anchor Bret Baier midway through a question about the Muslim Brotherhood. "You are asking this question to raise a question about whether or not I have dual loyalty. ... Be a journalist."

Earlier this month, El-Sayed challenged the intelligence of a female journalist, Audrey Fahlberg of the Free Press, when she asked about his reluctance to comment on the death of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad." The candidate, who has not publicly denied using steroids to enhance his compact frame, struggled to control his rage while berating Fahlberg. "Ask smart questions, I'll answer smart questions," he sneered.

Some context: El-Sayed has also denounced journalists for asking "dumb" questions about whether Israel or Iran is bigger threat to the United States. He has consistently refused to provide an answer.

A compilation of the Itty Bitty Islamist trying to scare people with his tiny dick:

This guy has it exactly right.

Why can't you Morons make smart points like this?

He notes that the Five Foot Five Fedayeen Fireplug constantly makes Gaza and Hamas the centerpiece of his campaign -- which really annoys black people, who keep saying, correctly, "he cares more about the West Bank than the west side of Detroit" -- but when you then ask him about his extremist views, he says "Why are you asking me about that, my campaign is about 'affordability,' why won't you ask about that?"

Weill, my Mighty Miniature Mamluk, it's because you never stop talking about Gaza and why Hamas is Our Friend.

And he points out that Jazz-Hands Jihadi Zohran Mamdani plays the same game:


Yehuda Teitelbaum
@chalavyishmael

14h

I have to say, after years of listening to Democrats call Trump supporters cultists who blindly follow their leader and punish anyone who steps out of line, watching the reaction to Haley Stevens today has been incredible.

She refused to support a candidate whose views she finds morally repugnant. She gave him multiple opportunities to address her concerns, and ultimately decided that she couldn't support him. She even went so far as to endorse his Republican opponent.

And the entire Democratic establishment lost its mind.

What exactly do these people think Stevens has to gain from this?

She's not going to become a Republican. She's not going to suddenly find herself welcomed into conservative politics. She's damaged her standing with her own party, alienated people she has worked alongside for years, and has likely destroyed whatever political future she had with Democrats.

You can disagree with her decision or think she made a terrible political calculation. But I find it very difficult to look at someone willingly accepting those consequences and conclude that she's doing it for personal gain.

I have disagreed with Stevens on plenty of things, and I expect I will continue to disagree with her. But I have a tremendous amount of respect for someone who is willing to take a stand when it actually costs them something.

Abdul El-Sayed is one of the most transparently dishonest politicians I've watched in a long time.

He constantly tells people he's Michigan First. He wants to talk about Michigan, he cares about Michigan, his priority is Michigan.

Fine. Then why does he spend so much time talking about Gaza?

Watch the clip below. This man brings up Palestinians and Israel constantly. He has absolutely no problem making foreign affairs part of his political identity. But the second someone challenges him on what he's saying, suddenly he doesn't want to discuss foreign policy anymore. He's running to represent Michigan, you see.

Mamdani does exactly the same thing in New York. They get to make whatever inflammatory statements they want about Israel, but when someone asks them to defend those statements, we're told that they're focused on their constituents and have more important things to worry about.

How convenient.

42 Stevens did endorse the al-zutt gnome even after a brutal primary. She only later rescinded the endorsement and endorsed Rogers after she was disinvited from a pro-zutt campaign event last week.

She is basically Train Hoe from Cornell. She's fine with everything -- or at least willing to support anything -- until she's dissed and left off the guest list.

I'm glad Stevens broke ranks to (eventually) endorse Rogers, as it could affect the election. But portraying Stevens as some principled hero who crossed the aisle over deeply held beliefs is not accurate. She was supporting his vile terror rentboy right up until she was dissed by the campaign event.

Now Piker is tall, at about 6'3. But that would put him at 5'5 at most

How Nicki Minaj Went MAGA

The best-selling female rapper in history has just addressed the World Liberty Forum, a crypto confab hosted by Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. She pauses to take in the decor, asking about portraits of Trump and of Mar-a-Lago’s original owner, Marjorie Merriweather Post. Admiring The Visionary, she remarks that Trump has a unique aura. “It’s the same way Marilyn Monroe represents a vibe,” she says. “Donald Trump is his own vibe.”

So is Minaj. She is wearing a shiny gold satin jacket, diamonds as big as the Ritz, and fluffy high heels. At 43, she is one of the defining pop-rap figures of the era, with more than 130 Billboard Hot 100 entries, more than 20 BET Awards, tens of billions of global streams, and a social media reach exceeding 200 million followers. Yet her turn from provocative, path-breaking artist to Trump acolyte has made her a pariah to some in the music industry and surprised her fan base

Every American needs to hear this and understand what’s coming

This is from ‘The Muslim Student Association at the University of Chicago’

"The mission of Muslims in the West is to reject democracy and implement Islam”

“We have to reject anything that is not from Islam. Any secular idea, both here in the West and in the Muslim lands, we must reject it. We do not compromise on the deen of Islam. We do not compromise on the hukm of Allah. We have full conviction that the only justice and the only true victory will come when Allah's hukm is implemented.

But believe me, wallahi, when you do the work for the sake of Allah, you will be victorious, either in this life or the next”

For those who don’t know when he says “either in this life or the next” this means Jihad. This means in Islam if they die being a martyr to further the agenda of Islam they will be greatly rewarded

We have to start mass deportations while we still can

Trump's DOJ has been signalling for months that they're watching and waiting for Democrat election officials to do x, y, and z things.

They've spelled it out.

x (not clean up voter rolls), y (add new illegals to voter rolls), and z (let the illegal voters vote) has been signaled as problematic for the DOJ for more than a year.

And the left is just...going to do it anyway.

The DOJ has been prepping the legal fight for more than a year, since about April of last year when Harmeet Dhillon took her post at DOJ Civil Rights.

So, they can't afford to concentrate on what a candidate stands for anymore. Instead the target the other guy and use hyperbole (Nazi, Bigot, Sexist) to justify their choice.


And I'd counter that while what you say about mutually incompatible groups is correct, I remember all too well the starry-eyed look they'd get when talking about him. It was like tweeners at a Britney Spears concert. It was embarrassing. They didn't care if what he said made any sense at all.

Thanks, interesting read re: Minaj. Still from an obviously leftward perspective. The whole part detailing her speaking about Christian persecution in Nigeria/Africa, the writer never once mentions Islam or genocide. Rather, just that Christians were killed and then adds that the New Republic said it wasn't even about religion.

To me, this crash seems different. A Learjet is not some entry level Cessna. A used 60XR is something like $3 million and costs a couple thousand an hour to operate. You can get a used, entry level Cessna for $40 thousand.

The crash was spectacular in the original sense of the word. It didn't just set down hard like many modern crashes. It put a crater in the ground.

Sure but when stacking victim groups there is always danger. Which is what is happening in Michigan. Then there is the related thing.

Now don't get me wrong, Christ Himself could come and run for office as a republican and the left would name call him. But that strategy works really well with Trump, who is a street fighter. And that characteristic was all important to make the gains we have made in educating the public what the left/uniparty is all about.

But getting people riled up about Trump, and getting people riled up about Vance, Rubio, DeSantis are two completely different things. That strategy has a shelf life, and it is soon to expire.

It is interesting that a lot of people have no real clue about leadership, and confuse it with aggression or emotional blackmail.
They can look alike, in that a lot of people who are successful at abusing other people to control them have a good insight into what makes people tick and how to maneuver them, but a really good leader not only knows how people tick and also wants them to accomplish something greater than themselves - something greater than the pain they get from not obeying.

I would saw I'd wipe a diseased goat's asshole that's just been raped by Hasan Piker with these polls. But that's unfair to the poor goat. His ass deserves better.

I predict we hold the house, increase our seats in the senate, and maybe have a surprise in the governor race(s).

Even if I'm wrong, I'll still be happy. I don't get upset or doomsaying over politics or the results of elections. I lived through Obama. I lived through Biden.

202 🚨BREAKING UPDATE: Texas tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife, their two young children, and several others have been identified in reports as victims of Sunday’s devastating Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach County, Florida.🚨

Robinson, 44, was an Austin-based entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of several successful technology companies, including Retention .com, RB2B, and MoltSets. He was reportedly traveling with his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their two young children, the family’s nanny, and two close friends when the aircraft went down. All nine people aboard were killed.

Robinson grew up near Houston, graduated from Rice University, and spent approximately a decade working on Wall Street, including at Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, before transitioning into entrepreneurship.

He went on to build multiple successful companies, including Retention .com, a marketing technology company reportedly generating more than $20 million in annual recurring revenue. He was known for building highly profitable businesses with small teams and without relying heavily on outside investors.

204 His wife, Helen, was also an entrepreneur and ceramic artist who operated Helen Sharp Ceramics.

The family was traveling aboard the 2004 Learjet 60,
bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

During the flight, the crew reported icing, turbulence, and precipitation before requesting clearance to climb to a higher altitude. Shortly afterward, the aircraft began descending at an alarming rate, with the crew reporting a descent of approximately 20,000 feet per minute.

The two pilots have also been identified in reports as Captain Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, just 20 years old.

Please keep their families and friends in your prayers.

========

The only real advantage of Hilton in CA is that his presence at the top of the ticket should help staunch a decrease in Republican turnout.

They have something to vote for at the top of the ticket, so it should help some down ballot races.

But, I'd still expect a relative bloodbath in CA. There's no statewide federal race to attract attention and help drive up turnout, so any increase in Democrat turnout advantages from being the party out of power will appear in strong form in CA.

So, bad, but not as bad as it might have been if there had been two Democrats at the top of the ticket.

He has pled guilty to illegal retention of classified information. He will pay a $2.25 million fine, forfeit his federal pension, and could spend 60 months in prison.

But, of course, a plea deal means prosecutors have agreed to recommend far less than that, and probably zero time at all.

He and his mustache have agreed to pay a $2.25 MILLION fine, face up to 60 MONTHS in prison, and forfeit his pension.

"As Mr. Bolton just admitted, he put our national security at grave risk in violation of the law," the DOJ said

Give him all 60 months!

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Former Vice President Mike Pence has been IMPLICATED in The DOJ's investigation of former National Security Advisor John Bolton related to Pence's framing of General Flynn to get him fired, his illegal possession of classified documents and his role in January 6th.

Bolton recently described Pence as a "consistent ally" during President Trump's first term. Pence is reportedly also being probed for unlawful leaks including sensitive national security matters from the Trump White House to the leftist media. Pence and Bolton are said to be facing indictment by a federal grand jury for a litany of federal crimes. They are the very definition of "the enemy from within". May Justice be swift and fierce for these traitors.

Even besides lightning, they are full of flying sleet at that altitude, and unpredictable updrafts and downdrafts. Air traffic control is supposed to advise pilots to avoid.

Winkler had a good career (albeit not a great one) and at least avoided the fate of a lot of "breakout" TV actors (typecasting and then being case aside).

He was still working in Hollywood up until a few years ago, and may still be working.

Fun fact: he was cast as Fonz primarily because he was so ... short. The original Fonz actor was a tall guy who towered over the rest of the cast. The creators didn't like that so they cast Winkler.

Another fun fact: Winkler is a german jew who got famous playing an italian catholic. And, on the same show, Tom Bosley was also jewish and had a star-making run as an irish protestant. He later played a catholic priest (father dowling) in a successful TV show.

So, they have mech suits for infantry and for dogs. At one point, during an escape, you watch the female baddie Nazi lady get her head partially crashed, tearing off her jaw, she survives, and ends up threatening you face to face, her jaw half-hanging off of her face.

Handling radio indicates she was likely not pilot flying.

The mil helicopter pilot was PF, under training. That accident, IMHO, was 100% the fault of the idiots who approved routing helicopters through an airport's final approach landing path, allowing only 75 feet vertical separation. Whoever signed off on that belongs in prison no f'n joke.

He eventually sought the ultimate power, the power over life and death. Which turned him into a madman, where even evil was good if it served his purposes.

It’s understandable considering the skill and power of the force he had, along with the traumatic circumstances of his early childhood.

His pursuit of power to bring order to the galaxy is ultimately what undid him, and led to his obeying Palpatine and committing the Temple Massacre, after which he could never turn back.

Same as Comey, now under attack by the guy he helped elect. Leopards -> face

If keeping national security information at your home is a crime, why don't we pursue the biggest offenders first?

It is going to take even more egregious trampling on the rule of law before the right wingers decide to stop flirting with fascism.

Of course the only one of Trump’s enemies they can get a conviction on is the pro-Iraq war Republican who loved Trump until Trump turned on him. I’m sure he is actually guilty. This guy was a proud Trump administration official until Trump fired him.

Bret Botox Baier used my timeline & I requested no name attached. Bloody hail I was insane til the election was over.

Months later Romney came up to me in an airport, as I traveled a lot then. I was half awake (but wearing mascara) waiting to board. My dude was off getting coffee as I don't drink coffee on planes and pick at the food. So, grease head came up & asked if we were boarding yet. I didn't look at him & said no.

When I did look at him I was briefly struck that he looked ok then. My dude arrived & I introduced them & we boarded in 1st class. I thought, too, he was without security. Nay. I figured out the 2 guys who came up to him, thanked him for his service (?), sat behind him on the plane.

He walked like a penguin at the airport with an odd, beat up, aqua bowling bag.

Totally agree and far prefer former military pilots.

However, from the little I've read, the "coffin nail" type weather they hit screwed up that little Lear jet.

IF it lost it's horizontal stabilizer in the small cell they flew into, it was literally all down fast from that point. Many commented it was missing when the missile type plane hit the ground at around 600mph or Mach .9 or so. The plane was missing pieces in still photo captures.

No, a 20yr old should not be in the cockpit, no matter how many hours flown. If there's a 65yr age for retirement from commercial airlines there should be a 25yr age or more to fly.

Naturalized Violent Insurrectionist Isa Lemgruber Casahuga, aka "Baby Pamper," Who Celebrated and Giggled Over the Vile Public Execution of Charlie Kirk to One of His Friends and Coworkers, Now Fake "Apologizes"

A refresher about this evil Immigrant Whore:



Some months ago I saw someone on YouTube who said he had a consulting job, doing social media research on potential corporate hires. He said that he's told to search for extremist political positions, including the woke ones. He said that young morons are making themselves essentially un-hirable for life with crap like this.

Is this what this whore realized? Or did her family tell her that she was shaming them?

Or did this violent immigrant insurrectionist realize that lying about extremist political positions on her naturalization paperwork was fraud and grounds for denaturalization?

University of Texas Vows It 'Will Not Tolerate' Incitement of Violence After Student's Giddy Poem Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Murder, 'Will Handle This Incident Consistent with the Law' | Cassandra MacDonald, The Gateway Pundit

The University of Texas System issued a pointed statement Thursday after a viral video showed UT San Antonio student Isa Casahuga-Lemgrube gleefully reading a poem at a Turning Point USA campus event that celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife and Chancellor John Zerwas said they were aware of the incident and declared, "We will not tolerate the incitement of violence or the threat of incitement of violence by any member of our UT community. UT San Antonio will handle this incident consistent with the law."

The student, who introduced herself at the microphone as "Pamper Baby," told the crowd she had taken a Plan B and felt guilty as an immigrant before launching into a deranged parody of "The Night Before Christmas."

She recited lines including "It was the night before the Kirkiversary and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse" and "as we solemnly remembered a shot to the neck," then invited people to a "Squirt for Kirk" event.

Afterward, she told Texas Youth Summit founder Christian Collins he was "brave" for being on campus "with no protection, no nothing, no like neck brace."

Collins posted the video of the incident, writing that she read the poem "with such glee," and saying he will pray for her.

Internet sleuths quickly identified the student as Casahuga-Lemgruber, a UTSA student in the class of 2030 majoring in International Relations and Diplomacy.

She attended St. Agnes Academy.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a website was registered under her name, http://isacasahuga.com, and published the poem in full along with family details identifying her mother as Houston realtor Paula Lemgruber Casahuga and her father as Guillem Casahuga, a partner at Arthur D. Little.

The site states that her parents are from Brazil and Spain. Her mother, who also appears to be a leftist, referred to her children as "citizens of the world."

There have been mass calls for the family to be deported.

UT San Antonio spokesperson Joe Izbrand also told the San Antonio Express-News that the university is aware of the incident and takes the matter seriously.

"The sentiments expressed do not reflect the values of our university," Izbrand stated. "The university is reviewing the circumstances through its established student conduct processes, consistent with applicable state and federal law and university policies."

Citing FERPA privacy protections, the school declined further comment on any specific disciplinary action.

Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.


I'm pretty sure it's one of those, because this is obviously as insincere as Kristi Noem's ex-husband's foam hooters.

They are pretty openly telling native Brits that they will go fight and die while their immigrants and refugees will not. The goal isn't really to defeat Russia, though that would be a bonus. They goal is to get rid of people the British government finds inconvenient.

No. No you don't. If you did, you'd atone by doing something concrete, like working in a leper colony for a year. But you won't do that, because like all cosplaying leftists, your parents money and position will shield you from real consequences.

Young people make mistakes and do stupid things, and should be given a second chance, but only after they've paid a price.

A good place to start would be for the university to kick you out, so you had to make a living at something really degrading and difficult, such as cleaning out toilets or coffee barista. It might teach you something.

It may be too late. in 2012 an apology would have been enough, but now the left has spent 10 years forcing apologies and self-denouncements and then using the admission of "thought crime" to beat any opponent into submission, and a lot on the right have decided that is the new rules to play the game.

I am wondering if someone in a really nice suit and shiny shoes to go along with his excellent position may show up at her Dad's office and make the suggestion that little Ms. Citizen of the World might find it more convenient to go be a citizen of the world in another country until she finishes her graduate degree.

If left leaning people gave up on politics and just focused on themselves their lives would continue as they are now though they would have to find ways to generate value/employment not related to just taking from others.

If right leaning people gave up on politics the left would send us to concentration camps.

Yea. They're on the same path as the muslim immigrants and sons/daughters of muslim immigrants in Europe.

These people are completely un-hirable, unsuitable for any productive activity, and the alien worms squirming in their brains compel them to hate and destroy.

It is time to start doing this with our little girls, too. There are, if you'll pardon the expression but it's accurate enough for these purposes, 'male-coded vices' and 'female-coded vices'.

There have been breakdowns of why it works, and it's because Lucas was so bad at arguing for his preferred moral order (essentially, shitlib boomer progressivism) that it makes Anakin sympathetic to those who see in him someone who grew up in shitlib boomer progressivism, was promised great things, told everything he wanted because of his own abillity and skill weren't allowed, and then destroyed when he tried to fix things, as themselves.

I mean, how bad was the emperor in the prequels?

What did he doe that was...bad? He subverted a democratic establishment that had become corrupt and ineffective by the movies' own admissions. And then he ordered Anakin to kill some kids late in the process because Lucas couldn't let Anakin still be the good guy by any measure.

I posted earlier this AM a link to a review of "Wrath of the Righteous", a old Pathfinder game turned into an isometric CRPG. The action takes place in Sarkoris which now has a little demon problem.
It focused on the romance option for Camellia, a half-elf who thinks her skull is also hosting a "spirit" or something.
No, you can't fix her. You can romance her but she's going to ask you to partake in the human sacrifices her "spirit" wants. Which will make you chaotic evil too.

There have been breakdowns of why it works, and it's because Lucas was so bad at arguing for his preferred moral order


I do have to laugh at Lucas's attempt at a take on politics.

In the original movie the Empire was just sort of the NAZIs, without much explanation.

But in the prequels the religious fanatics that abduct children and allow slavery, the Jedi, are the good guys. The people that want out of the corrupt "Republic" like Dooku are patsies. And the Empire is bad because uh...they oppose the Jedi.

The absolute best line was "Only a Sith Deals in Absolutes" which is in and of itself an absolute.

LEGAL immigration is at 1.5 million per year. Over 30 years, that is 45 million people. Census says we have 50 million foreign born... note, this does not even count illegals, or those who don't answer the census.

If'n we have 30 million Illegals, which is a low ball estimate IMO... Almost 23% of people living here, are not natural born US Citizens... and you cannot assimilate that large of a cultural difference.

Just like Miss Mongolia, while people were even telling her to quit kicking and thrashing because she wasn't going to succeed in evading arrest, but was just making things legally worse.

I believe legal and other challenges to ranked choice voting are in play. Early voting should be nuked by a constitutional challenge (at least for federal elections), I think there are cases like that in process.

It points to a slight leftward push in contended senate races and a big Democrat overperformance in safe blue states (like NJ and VA).

Remember, in 2018, a D+9 year, the GOP netted 2 senate seats. Because senate races run closer to presidential elections in terms of turnout than midterms, which tend to favor safe enclaves where most of the overperformance happens.

Even the monarchists realize that with no alliance they will be subjugated to foreign control. Better to be in alliance and rule than to be a dictator in name but a puppet of foreign control.

Congresswoman Who Lost to Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in Primary Endorses Mike Rogers, Condemns the Muslim Brotherhood-Linked Antisemite's Hate

Democrats are condemning her, ejecting her from the party, and claiming she's just a sore loser.

But, as Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed observed after one of his cousins shot children to death at a Jewish school: "Hurt people do hurt people."

Democrat Congresswoman had planned to rally with Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and Democrat racial gang-leader James Clyburn on Sunday. She had one demand for her re-endorsement of Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed: She wanted him to reject Hasan Piker's Nepo Uncle Chunk Uggo's antisemetic ad claiming that bananas and eggs cost more because Jews are stealing them to make bombs out of them to kill innocent non-terrorist Gazans.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed refused this minor reparative step. The Very Online Left condemns Trump for refusing to apologize or compromise, but they imitate him like Japanese girls used to imitate Gwen Stefani.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed then said she wasn't welcome at the "unity" rally and did not share Democrat Party pro-terrorist "values."

So she announced she would not be part of the "unity" rally.

18h

Haley Stevens was going to do a Democratic unity rally with Abdul El-Sayed and James Clyburn where she was going to encourage her supporters, many of whom have serious reservations about El-Sayed, to vote for him.

This was very important for El-Sayed, because Stevens is popular among Jewish and black Michigan Democrats and Clyburn is an icon among black voters nationwide. El-Sayed has weakness with both of these groups and needs to shore them up going into election day.

Stevens's condition was that he make an unambiguous, unqualified condemnation of the antisemitic rhetoric his friends, supporters and surrogates have been using, including in ads run in Michigan.

El-Sayed refused to do this, and instead asked Stevens not to appear at the event. At that point, Stevens realized that he was not interested in unity with her or her supporters and that she could no longer support him for Senate.

El-Sayed is an antisemite. He is friends with antisemites Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur. He will not condemn them. He will not condemn the awful things they say.

He has had multiple opportunities to condemn their hateful rhetoric, and he always says: "He is not part of a campaign, nobody speaks for me but me, and I'm not here to talk about that."

That's not good enough. If that is how a Republican talked about Nick Fuentes or Richard Spencer, it would be the biggest controversy in the race. The fact that so many Democrats are willing to tolerate this from Abdul El-Sayed is an indictment of the entire party.

There is no coalition that can include both the Jewish Democratic members of Temple Israel and supporters of the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder their preschool children. Abdul El-Sayed made a decision about who he wanted in his tent.

Haley Stevens was late to realize it, but it is admirable that she finally decided to be an upstander instead of a bystander. No Nazis in the US Senate.

And then Stevens went further: She endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, first online, and then later at press conference.


She appeared with Rogers and was attacked as "a traitor" by Democrats who find such demonizing language too crude for their sophisticated dick-port mouths.




Democrats always support women's choices so of course they all accepted Haley Stevens' choice and applauded her for it.

Just kidding, they kicked her out of the party entirely. Here's the chairman of the Michigan Democrat Party excommunicating this kaffir apostate for not embracing Allah:

Every liberal influencer and talking head saying "Haley Stevens calling out antisemitism just ENDED her political career in the Democrat party..."

Says a lot more about the Democrat party than Haley Stevens.

Noted Feminist Who Supports Women James Carville likened Haley Stevens to a "used condom" because he supports women and they choices they make except if they make a choice contrary to his own.


No "Liz Cheney Heroine Glow-Up" for Haley!

Haley Stevens, who voted with Joe Biden 97.5% of the time and with Trump only 6% of the time was excommunicated from the Democrat Party today because she wouldn't go through the humiliation ritual of donning the hijab like Peggy Flanagan and Kathy Hochul, nor would she endorse a guy with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood whose friends think America deserved 9/11 and who can't bring himself to denounce the IRGC.

Graham Platner who is a rapist with an infatuation for Nazism and sending nudes to underage girls on Kik while jerking off in a port-a-potty was not kicked out of the party.

If you're a registered Democrat holding out hope that there's going to be some great revival and return to the party of JFK, stop wasting your time. Your party is captive by terrorists, low IQ foreigners, illegal aliens, and people who hate this country and everything it stands for. It's gone. It's not coming back. Just leave it.

Democrats are taking it well. Enjoy -- after this insane leftist bitch physically attacks multiple people, a cop finally wrestles her to the ground.

At which point, she whines and complains that he's attacking her.

Of course.

@EricLDaugh

BREAKING: A psychotic Abdul El Sayed supporter just VIOLENTLY TACKLED a young Jewish girl after the girl said, "If she were walking around in Iran like this, what would happen to her?"

JUST as Haley Stevens endorses Mike Rogers.

*Lunges at her*

"F**ing get over here, btch!"

The cop then MANHANDLED her.

LOCK HER UP. These people are VIOLENT and DERANGED

This is going to surge in America unless we defeat them on Tuesday


There's more to this story -- the media's attempt to brand Haley Stevens as a crazy traitor.

But I'll talk about that in a later post.

7 I think this is the black establishment deciding that they are top of the intersectionality stack.

Remember, Stevens, even though she was a doughy white girl, was the clear racial favorite in the primary. She won black precincts by large margins.

Losing both MI and TX against the wishes of the black electorate's favorites in the primaries is a form of flexing. "You would have won if you'd listened to us."

The Crockett win would be thin and probably not true, but Stevens in MI? Unremarkable Democrat against a Republican in a blue-leaning year? She probably would have won against Rogers.

42 There's a lot of bad blood between Stevens and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Gnomeh Al-Zutt.

It was a bitter primary, mostly because Gnomeh Al-Zutt is a vile creep and loathsome scumbag and terrorist rentboy, and he thought he had the primary in the bag.

Even after the results were much closer than expected, Stevens almost immediately was gracious and endorsed Gnomeh Al-Zutt in the general.

He told Stevens to suck a fat dick and all but taunted her.

Even after that, Stevens still tried to mend fences for the good of the party. It was not until the latest outrage with Piker than she finally said "enough."

But she was willing to hold her nose for a guy who obviously was a vile Jew-hating terrorist right up to the very end. I have my theory on the reason for that.

I suppose there's always the slimmest of chances that she really does have a few residual ethics, despite being a Democrat. Also, one could do a lot worse than emulating Tulsi Gabbard's principled stands. If not for her husband's illness, she'd be riding high right now.

That's probably part of the problem but my theory (as I said in the last post) is that the party suspects he's gonna lose -- as I do too -- and are abandoning ship. Nobody wants to back a loser.

The idea that any of these people -- including Stevens -- are principled Democraps taking out their party's trash is highly dubious to me. There's no such thing as a principled Democrap and even Stevens -- who as I commented above was treated like dogshit by Sayed -- stood by him until the very end.

She’s part of a small faction of the Democratic Party that sees unconditional support for Israel as not just another component of foreign policy, but as part of their political identity.

Fetterman at least had a stroke, what's her damn excuse?

Nothing more frightening than a white woman with a grudge.

Absolutely insane. If this costs Dems the seat in Michigan, she should be kicked out of the fucking party.

Agreed. Her base of support was in black neighborhoods. This is an extraordinary betrayal of her constituency.

The idea that any black voters would trust her over an endorsement from Obama and Clyburn is frankly insane. Doubtful this will change a single vote.

123 I'm really on edge about this election (as are most people, I realize), because while in our bubble it seems very possible that there is no "blue wave," that the "silent majority" that constitute over 99% of poll respondents who refuse to answer of course skew massively right, so the polls are meaningless, and that in reality (not in the media) the "MAGA coalition" is even stronger now than it was in 2024, so that wherever Trump won in 2024, his team will also win in 2026.

HOWEVER, I was just reading the comments sections at some of those betting sites like Polymarket, and 95% of the people actually putting their money where their mouth is are dancing around with glee that the Dems have every race locked up, to the extent that they're all upping their bets.

Something like 72% of the bettors in the Paxton/Talarico race are betting on Paxton to win.

But, Talarico's odds have been above Paxton's for months.

Why?

Well, because it would be immaterially cheap to shift the odds at Polymarket (the entire market for the TX senate race is $8 million) with a few large bets that makes it nearly impossible, without a massive, matching infusion of bets the other way, to bring it down, giving Talarico a cheap bit of narrative he can pump every day for months.

Trump has some of the best retention numbers for a president in a midterm in 2018 compared to his 2016 numbers. It's like 80%.

Obama was getting about 60% in both 2010 and 2014.

The whole, "only Trump voters who don't show up for midterms" is a radical misreading of historical patterns that Trump has actually broken.

Yes, there are those voters who voted in 2024 who won't vote in 2026. It will be millions of people. But, it will be ahistorically small proportionally.

What helped Democrats in 2018 was that they turned out in huge numbers. Real voters or just ballots? *shrugs*

By participant the betting markets don't skew as Democrat as the odds show. Leftists are putting up much more money per person.

Most endorsements don't mean squat, and especially not in driving reverse votes.

I suspect though this should be viewed the other way anyway - the reason Stevens endorsed the Rep and Nussel gave the most tepid endorsement one can imagine is Jewish Dems aren't going to vote for AES.

Mocking his death is good because he had bad beliefs.

210 Something like 72% of the bettors in the Paxton/Talarico race are betting on Paxton to win.

But, Talarico's odds have been above Paxton's for months.

Why?

Well, because it would be immaterially cheap to shift the odds at Polymarket (the entire market for the TX senate race is $8 million) with a few large bets that makes it nearly impossible, without a massive, matching infusion of bets the other way, to bring it down, giving Talarico a cheap bit of narrative he can pump every day for months.

I also use rye malt when I want a sharper flavor.

Be sparing on malt because the bread can get gummy when you toast it if you use too much, and I can't tell you how much is too much.

Posted by: far cry


It goes like this:

Americans evolve a fashion style.

The Japanese imitate it, but put their own twist on it.

Harajuku is the district in Tokyo where many of the trendiest style boutiques. were in the '90s and '00s.

Fashionable teen Japanese girls who shop in this district earn the nickname "Harajuku Girls."

Anime becomes popular in the US, so American teens start adopting Japanese styles back the US, and the styles bounce back and forth across the Pacific.

Gwen Stefani makes a video about this, to ride the popularity wave.

People, ludicrously, accuse her of "cultural appropriation," even though this fashion (and most fashion trends) are a. mashup of cultures influencing each other.

But since I've discovered I could tell grokbot exactly what I wanted and have it do everything for me, I've really jumped in with both feet.

This is amazing. It's like having a Linux expert sitting right next to you checking your work. I've got tailscale set up and locked down. I've got a Jellyfin server hosting the latest videos from all my son's favorite youtube channels with ads and promotions stripped out automatically. I've got local AI. I've fine tuned backups so they're additive and secured. I've stripped out all of the apps and services I don't need or use.

I even switched an old Surface device to Linux and got that tuned to my specific use case. It's so much faster, uses less battery, and no more MS crap telemetry.

THE MORNING RANT: A Little Good News Regarding the Business of Petroleum

Lyondell Refinery.png

Valero to Purchase and Restart a Shuttered Texas Refinery

Although the inflation-adjusted price of gasoline in America is virtually unchanged over the past two decades, it is higher than where it was before the flow of Iranian oil was cut off to global markets. Also contributing to the problem of elevated fuel prices is the lack of refining capacity in the United States. This is especially true regarding diesel. The carbon hysteria of the past few decades, along with Democrat administrations’ war on petroleum has dissuaded capital investment in new refineries.

With that background, there was some great news announced this past week – Texas-based Valero Energy is purchasing a mothballed refinery in Houston.

The refinery had previously been operated by Dutch chemical company Lyondell, but in obedience to the E.U.’s anti-carbon “net zero” obsession, Lyondell shut the plant down after announcing its closure in 2022. The puppet-masters of the Biden administration were so passionately anti-petroleum that mothballing the refinery was also a way for Lyondell to help gain regulatory favor for its ongoing U.S. chemical operations.

“Valero to Buy, Restart Idled Texas Refinery as Fuel Rallies” [Bloomberg – 10/30/2026]

The pure-play oil refiner plans to restart 165,000 barrels of daily light, sweet crude processing capacity by the end of 2027 at the former LyondellBasell Industries NV facility, according to a press release Friday. The $320.5 million deal with Lyondell is expected to close by the end of the year, Valero said. The plant sits adjacent to a Valero refinery that’s capable of processing more than 200,000 barrels of oil each day.

This refinery can produce diesel and jet fuel in addition to gasoline. Production will re-start in 2027.

BP’s CEO on Renewables Debacle: “We Have Not Been Careful Stewards of Shareholder Capital”

Meanwhile, another European petroleum corporation that tried to pivot into being a “clean” energy company is taking a massive write-down on that failed endeavor. Fortunately for British Petroleum, its traditional refining is producing solid profit to help offset the losses from its pretend-energy division.

“BP Flags Up to $4.5 Billion in Impairments as Refining Margins Jump” [Yahoo Finance – 10/13/2026]

BP expects to take between $3 billion and $4.5 billion in post-tax impairment charges in the third quarter of 2026, primarily related to its energy transition businesses, even as stronger refining margins provide a significant earnings boost.

To abide with the edicts of the European state religion (The Sustainable Organic Church of the Carbon Apocalypse), BP had even started to claim that its initials stood for “Beyond Petroleum.” BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was during the time that BP was promoting itself as being “beyond petroleum.” What this revealed is that the anti-carbon activists running BP were distracted by the “renewables” nonsense and had become indifferent to responsibly running a petroleum company.

With BP taking this new $4.5 billion write-off for failed “renewables” projects, its current CEO, Meg O’Neill, is acknowledging that “We have not been careful stewards of shareholder capital.”

While Ms. O’Neill has a regrettable history of voicing support for Net Zero goals, she has also hedged on timelines, as well as the practicality of reducing carbon output without natural gas. It would be so refreshing if oil company executives would start fully and unabashedly advocating for the product their industry produces, rather than pandering to enviro-communist politicians who want to eliminate the companies they head.

*****

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Repeated Ethical Shortcomings at Instacart Hamper the Task of Those Defending Capitalism” discusses Instacart’s persistent ethical transgressions, including:

• Illegal hiring practices that exclude U.S. citizens.

• Surveillance pricing that charges customers different amounts for the exact same product from the same store.

• The use of unvetted, sub-contract labor.

Those of us who defend the prosperity brought about by free markets have always had our work cut out for us, because socialists promise “free everything” by the confiscation of others’ wealth. To make our economic case, we need businesses to operate as good corporate citizens, consistent with America’s historic culture of being a high-trust society. The motivation for a corporation to refrain from deceptive trade practices should not be the fear of legal consequences. Ethical behavior should be the default. Similarly, non-exploitative employment practices should be the expectation of Western capitalism, not something that must be compelled.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

This is interesting for another reason. Given that the refinery won't come on line until the end of 2027, does this suggest Valero knows (or is betting very heavily) that the investment won't be wasted by Democrats regaining power and shutting it down?

12 Corporate America must embrace the idea that ethical behavior is not just good business, but that it is a necessary responsibility to insulate against the enemies of market economies. Instacart has earned its opprobrium, and it should be seen as an example of inexcusable corporate behavior.

We've discussed variable pricing before on this site. Is it wise from a consumer loyalty perspective? Clearly not. Is it illegal? That's a very different question. Unless you're specifically targeting characteristics protected by the CRA (race, national origin, dude in a dress (maybe)), I don't think so. I'm not sure there's any legal remedy.

24 I've hired a number of contractors over the years (I bought an old house) and it was always a negotiation over the price.

Isn't this also variable pricing?

One of the interesting things to note in modern politics is the left's embrace of on demand democracy - as in if you want Israel to go away you import enough muslims votes to make it so.

This has always been one of the weaknesses of democracy - if you import enough others they can vote to end whatever you have.

Not completely.

Romania was partitioned by the USSR in 1940. While Ploesti was not in the USSR part, they were certainly heavily influenced by Soviet policies. On August 24, 1944: Soviet Red Army troops entered and secured Ploiești after Romania switched sides to the Allies and the Jassy–Kishinev offensive broke German lines.

66 The Biden administration. Ha!

Some decades ago, Valero refinery in the state of Delaware had a checkered past regarding occupational S&H and was shutdown in 2009.

However, the refinery itself is still active today because the State of Delaware pushed to find a buyer to save the local economy. In 2010, PBF Energy bought the facility, spent heavily to overhaul it, and fully restarted operations in late 2011.

It continues to process roughly 180,000 barrels of oil per day. It also makes local headlines for environmental and safety issues, including hefty state fines for leaks.

AI Overview: Despite being Delaware's historically largest industrial polluter, it remains an economic heavyweight on the East Coast, with PBF Energy logging billions in profits driven heavily by tight global refining capacity. (Delaware Online + 2)

Well, the main issue is that many (most???) foreign doctors and dentists seem to see their patients as large bags of money to be pilfered rather than patients. Each visit becomes a big sales pitch for things you probably don't require.

Though to fair, doctors and dentists plugged into large companies/corps often do the same things because they have a certain level of income which they must meet.

Individual or small group practices are/were generally pretty great buuuut, I think that day is probably over.

There was a two state solution already - in 1948. The Jews were allocated Israel, and the Arabs were allocated Jordan. The hashemites who were in Jordan tried to assassinate the king, and were thrown out.

What they actually want are multiple two state solutions, continuously, until Israel is eliminated.

Extrapolate that thinking to Musk's empire - Tesla, SpaceX. SpaceX apparently makes most of its money from StarLink services, with the whole "launch rockets" thing making StarLink possible but not being a profit center in and of itself.

Both of those companies make things - cars, robotics, rockets. Actual, physical manufacturing of tools and parts that then get manufactured into larger pieces. Now, imagine that engineering expertise is expanded upon. What if we could get factories up and running in months, not years? Factories like refineries?

151 All models are wrong, but some models are useful.

I ran the early vote numbers in NC through ChatGPT and had it do some analysis:

"Bottom line
Using exactly your propensity assumptions, plus the 95% partisan-loyalty assumption from our previous calculation and a 52.9% Republican / 47.1% Democratic UA vote, I estimate:
Whatley: ~2.526 million (50.6%)
Cooper: ~2.466 million (49.4%)
Whatley margin: ~60,000 votes / 1.2 points

So Whatley gets the majority under this model, but the result is highly sensitive to the Unaffiliated vote. The model's break-even point is only about 51% Whatley among Unaffiliated voters."

That UA vote is based on analysis of 2024 and where the Unaffiliated vote probably landed.

I'm not saying that Whatley wins the senate race, but this race is going to be much closer than people are assuming.

The hole Whatley is in right now is very big because of EV.

However, the remaining pool of voters is much more Republican than it is Democrat.

The Unaffiliated, though, are the largest partisan group in the state (roughly 40%), so it depends on them.

They've leaned Republican forever, though.

188 Morticia, I have an amazing no knead bread recipe. Only 4 ingredients: bread flour, yeast, water, salt. But you do need a Dutch oven to get that amazing crust, and I use a dough whisk.

The dough is so wet, but it bakes up amazing! I punch it down once, let it rise again and then bake. Takes less than a day. A huge loaf that fills the whole Dutch oven.

I use the dutch oven for my sourdough, and it works really well.

Additives decrease the rise significantly, I need to figure that out, but the straight doughs are great.

200 One of the interesting things about this election is how many faking polling operations have been identified.
--
We're at what, 4 now?

and all of them were included in the polling mix, even though they were all outliers showing massive Dem support.

But the funniest to me is, the "polling gurus" saying, "yeah, but the average is the same even though we took those out. So those other polls are right."

Um. Is that how maths work?

And that's without "did those other polls put their thumb on the scale?" to keep their polls in line with the fake polls that just had to be right 'cause it sounds like they are right.

202 I suppose it is statistically possible that the occasional loaf can leave the oven and go into the packaging without picking up a single mold spore?

I grow ferns from spores (yeah, yeah, spores, mold and fungus).

https://tinyurl.com/52sw6fj8

Anyway, I heat the soil media in the oven, not unlike baking bread, and use bleach to swab down the closed box in which they'll grow. Without those precautions, you'll almost always end up with a box o' algae. With them, you almost never do.

What I'm saying is, you should store your carbonized bread in a sealed box, and douse the whole loaf in bleach.

The fact that she has committee assignments at all is a stain on an already dirty GOPe reputation.

She'd have left the Party to go join the Donkey Show, losing us a seat, but frankly she's useless already.

99 I like this. Reminds me of the feel of rural New England winters. The figures of the people and animals are a little stiff for my taste but the buildings and landscape are wonderful. And he really captured the light of such a day. You can almost see the wisps as the animals and people breathe in the cold air. He catches the era and season by showing the sleigh and sledge instead of a carriage or cart. People who thrived despite winter and took advantage of the snow.

It could be a scene from "A Reverence For Wood" by Eric Sloane, one of my favorite books. In the section dealing with early America he describes a scene very much like this based on records and local history.

Check out Durrie's Wiki page. Some of his landscapes are dramatic and effective.

Yes, I would hang this and some of his others. The winter landscapes would be nice to look at in July.

🚨 CONFIRMED BY FAMILY: 20-YEAR-OLD CO-PILOT IDENTIFIED IN DEADLY FLORIDA LEARJET CRASH

Nathalia Gadelha, just 20 years old, has been identified by her mother and stepfather as the co-pilot aboard the Learjet 60 that crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 1, killing all nine people on board.

Nathalia could fly an airplane before she could legally drive a car.

In October 2023, she was featured in a local news interview as a 17-year-old senior at West Boca Raton High School. She had earned her private pilot’s license the previous month and had already accumulated 88 hours of flight time.

Her passion for aviation began years earlier. Her father started flying recreationally in 2018 and helped introduce her to aviation. Nathalia began ground school in 2020, while still a teenager.

Her public-school aviation program helped fund her flight training.

177 Obama-appointed U.S. District Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, long criticized as a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge,” gave the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and its UCLA Voting Rights Project allies tightly restricted access to the Trump Department of Justice’s list of more than 20,000 people federal investigators flagged as likely noncitizens who received mail ballots in California.

The court order was crystal clear: the data was for standing arguments only. Plaintiffs could not disclose names and could not use the information for broader political or media attacks on the government’s election-integrity efforts.

That restriction lasted roughly 24 hours.

244 I've been informed by air disaster experts on X that it was a missile, not a plane, because there were no place fragments after the crash. Left unexplained was the lack of missile fragments and the abundance of aircraft parts that other people were able to find.

Left unexplained was "why was the missile a dud?"

Because a missile that large should have flattened a city block.

Posted by: rickb223 at November 02, 2026 10:41 AM (izikm)

245 Being it was flying from Austin there is also the fact that the tanks were probably at least half empty which makes for bigger fireballs. Fuller tanks = less oxigen present at compression. 1/4 full tanks are supposed to be the worst. At least that's how I remember it from aviation science in HS.

Posted by: Reforger at November 02, 2026 10:41 AM (ZtpEc)

246 The pilot(s) in the doomed aircraft tried to "pull back" on the controls to raise the plane's nose.... but it was in a tightening roll to the right and descending at a steep angle. That input tightened the turn and bank even more.

So says "expert" AI and others on the Internet.

*shrugs*

Icing, pilot error, mechanical failure, some/all of the above.... probably not much left in the hole it made.

BBC

In air traffic control audio recorded moments before the crash, someone in the cockpit can be heard reporting "moderate turbulence" and that the crew was "managing the ice".

The person can then be heard saying the plane was "picking up precipitation" and "we need to climb". Moments later, the same voice said the plane was descending at a rate of 10,000ft (3,048m) per minute.

Yeah. If it was a missile, is was professional.

The Morning Report — 11/2 /26

ChokeOnIt.jpg

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a relaxing and fun Halloween weekend. But as we all know tomorrow is it, unless you can still vote early wherever you may be you can cast your ballot today.

the big story is that Haley Stevens, a Michigan Dem has come out now and officially endorsed Republican candidate for Senate Mike Rogers. Considering Michigan is controlled top to bottom by Democrats who stole 2020 for sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden and that its major cities are essentially Beirut in all but name only, for her to seemingly commit political suicide by endorsing Rogers means perhaps she thinks El-Sayed is going down or else whatever strain of morality that appears from time to time in John Fetterman is in her system too. Either way, good for her, coming as it does just the day before Election day, it might still make a huge difference in Michigan and indeed the trajectory of the nation.

Haley Stevens is a “proud Democrat” who bashed GOP candidate Mike Rogers just this past summer.

So think about how bad Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed must be for Stevens to cross the political aisle and endorse Rogers, the Republican candidate she initially dismissed, for senator from Michigan.

So bad that El-Sayed dismissed an attack on a synagogue full of children by blaming Israel, claiming that “hurt people hurt people.” 
So bad that when El-Sayed was asked whether Iran or Israel was the greater threat to the US, he answered both.

So bad that El-Sayed refused to denounce an advertisement that blamed Israel for high inflation.

Stevens had begged for El-Sayed to stop blaming the Jewish state for everything wrong in this world, and El-Sayed refused. . . Stevens has nothing to gain here. The Democratic machine, which prioritizes winning over morals, will disown her. She’s not looking for a future as a Republican. There is no money, no glory in this. There is only principle. Haley Stevens hasn’t changed, the party has changed, beholden now to the deranged “Free Palestine” antisemitic mob that cheers the terror of Hamas. She’s tried cautioning the Democrats. She’s tried convincing them. In the end, she came to the realization that so many Jewish-Americans have, to their sadness: The party has abandoned them. Hopefully her bravery will make a difference with voters this Election Day. Heed her warning.

No her party has not changed in the least, as this reaction to her endorsement of Rogers clearly demonstrates.

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville was slammed for disgustingly comparing Michigan Dem Rep. Haley Stevens to a “used condom” after she endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers over lefty candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Carville said Stevens wasn’t even worth a used condom to Democrats after she broke with the party days before Election Day and sold her soul to the GOP for “two cheeseburgers” in his vulgar remarks Sunday.

“But your political career is over … if you think that these Republicans are gonna treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you: a used condom,” Carville said Sunday in an episode of the podcast, Politicon.

Meh, for whatever it's worth both President Trump and speaker Mike Johnson invited Stevens to escape the Democrat hellhole and join the GOP. Carville is a criminal degenerate. You have to wonder what in the hell goes on between him and wife Mary Matalin. Or has she been murdered, dismembered and fed to his pet alligators.

In any case, as has been reported the usually reliably Democrat black voters in Michigan have some serious issues with el-Sayed so maybe Rogers could shock everyone with a win if blacks either stay home or even pull the lever for Rogers.

In any case let's try to read some tea leaves first from the estimable Professor Victor Davis Hanson:

In 2026, the media have lectured us for months that the impending blue wave is the inevitable electoral payback for Trump’s crippling inflation, soaring gas prices, and war abroad—despite the fact that similar conditions did relatively little electoral damage to Democrats in 2022. . . We are also told that flipping a Texas Senate seat to the Democrats, with a possible James Talarico victory, will be a landmark turning point, given that a Democrat has not held such a seat in 33 years. Perhaps.. . We are also apprised that this inevitable blue wave reflects a nationwide disgust with Trump that will doom the last two years of his presidency. Perhaps again. .. And a midterm loss, especially in the second term, can sometimes even boost a president’s popularity. Indeed, in 1998, Clinton reached the highest approval level of his presidency at 73 percent and would leave office in January 2001 with an approval rating of 66 percent. . .

. . . In sum, we should remember a few things about the upcoming midterms.

First, the blue wave may not materialize, just as the red wave did not materialize in 2022, despite public unhappiness with the Ukraine war, inflation, and gas prices.

Of note is that VDH, no Pollyanna to be sure and well-versed in American and global history is remaining positive whatever the final score may be after tomorrow.

And some more positive vibes for you all:

What can we hope for this year? Can Republicans defy history a third time? Better yet, can they manage until 2028 if they lose?

Let’s say that Democrats have a good night. It’s doubtful they will pick up forty seats like in Election 2018. Multiple sites have suggested as many as sixteen swing congressional districts. Let’s imagine that Democrats win enough swing seats to get a five-seat majority in the House of Representatives. . . Not only does Jeffries have to contend with opponents to his left, but a moderate faction within the current Democratic House conference will push him from the right. They have their love of capitalism, America, the police, and their rejection of pro-Palestinian extremism. . . My optimistic appraisal is that Republicans maintain a slim House majority. Party activists get excited in a banner year for their side, and they think they can push the most ideologically polarizing and still carry the day. . . Despite possible dark outcomes taking hold on Election Day 2026, we can hope for more than a silver lining to propel the larger MAGA for the future. At best, Democrats will take back the House on paper but accomplish nothing because of DSA v. Moderate Dem infighting. In the meantime, Republicans can capitalize on their Big Beautiful Bill; Trump will have resolved the Iran war, gas prices will go down, and Republicans can win big again in 2028.

All well and good, but as you can see from a quick scan of the links in the Civil War section and elsewhere, the Democrat/Left will not be satisfied until they have completely dismantled America as founded and destroyed anyone who stands in their way of absolute and permanent power. Nothing is beyond the pale including violence and that is even more and more the preferred method to achieving their goals.

. . . What the Democrat Party has become is truly horrific.  Like Frankenstein’s monster, its political body is comprised of dead parts: Islamic supremacy, racial grievance, class warfare, cultural Marxism, cultish communism, child sacrifice, child mutilation, sexual deviance, and pagan gods.  Everything the Democrats celebrate today is disgusting, gruesome, and deserving of an R-rating.

A lot of Americans have drifted from the Democrat to the Republican Party over the last few decades.  
It is apt that the two Republican presidents of the last century that Republican voters rate most highly — President Reagan and President Trump — both spent parts of their lives as members of the Democrat Party.  
=At what point does it not become obvious that the Democrat Party has become the “safe space” for grotesque evils?
When an illegal alien rapes and/or murders an American girl, Democrats in public office and Democrats working as “journalists” show more compassion for the rapist/murderer than they do for the broken victim.  
This is monstrous, abhorrent, anti-American behavior that I would not have thought possible thirty years ago.  Most of us remember a time when Americans took care of and protected other Americans.  We beat back those who threatened our peace, and we hunted monsters that hurt American children.  Now Democrats describe the monsters among us as victims and ignore the dead American girls and their suffering American families altogether.  What a ghoulish, soulless party the Democrats have become.


God-willing may tomorrow be the harbinger of the complete destruction and extinction of the anti-American Democrat Left.

have a good day.VOTE EARLY & OFTEN!!!

11 One of 2 things happen tomorrow:
- the polls are right
- polling is dead

For the polls to be right, Dems have to be more popular than 2008, at the height of Obamamania.
And Rs have to be at their lowest ever, rivaling post-Watergate.
R states will have to see swings never before seen in US history.
Where the Dems have nominated multiple candidates who were deeply unpopular with their base in the primaries--but overwhelmingly popular with the radical left.
But every poll assumes 98%+ intra-party support in the general.
And the only evidence the R is that unpopular is ... polls. Not rallies, not Rs defying the party, not donations. Not even intra-party approval.

Some lefties are claiming 250 D House and 55 D Senate.
Some on the right are calling for 228 R House and 54 R Senate.

It sort of expands on some of your earlier posts concerning Governor Wes Moore.

"G'morning, all!

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, after suggested to be a contender for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028 has a long and ongoing issue with his claimed receiving of a Bronze Star during his military service.

This VERY long and detailed article out of Maryland lays out the steps, efforts, lies and high level Administration pressures to get the award issued retroactively in order that his military record would match his previously made claims.

It's a long one, but I suggest that it is worth the read.

All I can think is he really WAS a test case but the public perception of him just didn't pass. But then you have big endorsements from Obama and Kamala and now Carville I think so kind of mixed messaging.

This latest dump must mean he's gonna lose. But it's weird.

All the online left were Black Knight "tis but a scratch" while throwing out the most nasty attacks against her and crowing about how it's only more unified the Dems.
Citing new support from party leaders who'd not endorsed him and fundraising*.

Meanwhile, she appears at a convention of some 2,000 Jewish leaders and gets a standing ovation.

If you're in a statewide race in MI, 2 days before the Election, which do you want:
- the endorsement of Chuck Shumer from NY and donations via ActBlue from CA
or
- Standing ovation from 2,000 Jewish leaders from around MI

Second, my brother had a slight stroke on Friday morning, losing partial control of his left hand. In doing the scans to confirm the stroke, the MRI's showed he has 80% blockage in a carotid and the vascular surgeon came in this morning and booked him for surgery tomorrow. Maybe all this will help everyone deal with his drinking issues a bit more positively.

From Trump's speech, I detected that Rubio is the heir apparent.

Trump would call people to the stage, praise them, give them time for a short speech, and then take over the mike.

He kept Rubio's presence a secret until near the end. Then he called out Rubio. Several times he noted Rubio was getting way too popular. Twice he said he may have to fire him.

Rubio gave a full endorsement of Trump. They embraced, and he sat back down.

Still shaking my head at Carville. Couple weeks ago he was saying if al-Sayed and Mamdani are the future if the Dem party he'd be leaving. Stevens actually does it and she a "used condom". Like to see old Jimmy boy go face to face with Mamdani or al-Sayed , instead of dumping on a lady

113 The swing the polls are predicting tomorrow has never happened in modern history; from R president by 10%+ to Dem by 5%+.

However, in modern history, W did gain midterm seats in the House ( and the Senate (2).
While W did have much higher overall approval (mid to upper 60s), his intraparty approval was lower than Trump's right now; mid to low 90s vs. upper 90s.

3 of the 4 Senate flips were in states W won. GA (11.7%), MO (3.3%), AR (5.4%).
MN (Gore 2.4%) was also a Senate flip.

House gains/flips were most all in states W won, GA, TX, AZ, CO and NV.

I've not seen anyone sort "party out of power always loses seats" by "states won/lost by that party in the prior election."

Then there's the Iran war and diesel fuel. It's like the perfect scenario for the left. They shut down refineries in California so I don't even know how we're going to get diesel fuel back to help the truckers and the farmers. With the way things are going, and if they go as predicted, it's going to be ugly, really ugly.
Trump won't even have governor to help him because the once reliable red state governors won't be there. It's just absolutely mind blowing.

139 Maybe it's just me, but it seems there is an absolute embargo in all of media on the size of Trump rallies.

It's wall-to-wall of this or that Dem speaking to a packed room.

And I'm not saying a "size of rallies proves who wins" thing.
It's more, "if Trump was as deeply unpopular, and so many Rs are going to vote D tomorrow, then a) the rallies would be sparsely attended and b) there would be a lot fewer."

I remember watching Trump's last rally in 2020 (in WI or MI?) late at night, he and Pence.
And Trump just ... seemed to go through the motions, his set speech--no asides, no jests, no energy.
I chalked that up to exhaustion. But now I think he knew it wasn't enough.

Compare to the last few Trump rallies--he's having fun, joking, even has Speaker Johnson doing impressions of him.

Consider turning off the news until the election is over. Don't read it, don't check your phone. You can only control what you can control which is to vote-if you haven't already done so, and to encourage people you know to vote. I think the left wants people to be anxious. They also want to discourage them by fake polls.

148 I saw an article on NYC fare jumping and "broken windows"

I live in the South Bronx by choice. My local subway stop has two entrances, one manned -- the other unmanned which is nearer to me and the one I always use.

Fare beating at the unmanned entrance is rampant. You simply wait for the exit door to be opened by departing passengers.

At peak times, the MTA will put two guards on the door, but you can walk past them and they won't say a word.

If you were normally law-abiding me, what would you do?

That's the thing everything is purposely framed against the Republicans in social media, local media, cable media, online headlines, newspapers.
The left when they get back in power want to silence what little media we have, everything that we say is going to be hate speech.
And people don't hear or read the things that we read.
I do know that if the left takes over, our voices will be silenced.
When Charlie Kirk was murdered, I felt such a sadness for our country and for the young people because I knew that it was going to be impossible to replace him and that would hurt us going forward and it has had a huge impact.

In an honest election...easy money.

My main question?worry? is that in an election where it appears that the since Democrat cheat and violence machine is determined to go as hog wild as they can, there are cities in Texas run by Democrats like Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, etc-

will those cities gov'ts bring the cheat as well?

Even so...I believe if all Republicans/Conservatives get out and vote, even with the cheat they can't win.

It's strictly a numbers game now. Real votes VS Cheat Votes.

So, vote and vote straight ticker R.

Of course he's right. They've been making up lies about him for over a decade. They threw the entire weight of the intel community, including foreign partners, against him. They did unprecedented lawfare against him. When none of that worked they tried to murder him. Multiple times.

He still won 3 times. The only thing stopping us from winning is cheating and apathy. We can't do much about the former but Trump's team is working on it. We can do something about apathy.

Cali redistricted and basically made 5 leans GOP districts, 5 lean Donk districts.

Vote fraud, ballot harvesting and ballot "curing" are legal in Cali and the Donks have the built in infrastructure to steal elections.

It's how a governor can be so wildly unpopular that he can be recalled and yet so wildly popular he wins in a landslide.

It's how a nobody retard council woman can go from being way in 3rd place to somehow overtaking the GOP challenger, so that there would only be retarded donks in the general for LA Mayor.

Is this free money or am I missing something?"

Someone, and I don't know how they verified it, says that some 70%+ of the bets made from TX/US in that race are on Paxton.
That it's lopsided for Talarico because of just a few whale bets and that the vast majority of the bets on that site are not from the US.

IDK, I think the non-US part is the biggest--the foreign press is even more far left than the US.
Imagine how skewed their news of the race is?

We are constantly bombarded with negative stuff. Psyops are a thing because they work, until we stop letting them. Our tax dollars supported whole agencies that did pretty much nothing other than run psyops on us.

The day before the 2016 election HuffPo's genuis election "experts" gave Hillary a 98.2% chance of beating Trump. There wasn't a poll or expert that said Trump had a prayer let alone could win He did. And then he won twice more.

Nobody ever won a game they thought they were going to lose. Let's go win and prove the experts wrong. Again.

377 A few Thursdays ago, polling aggregator FiftyPlusOne —the same outfit that torpedoed Wedgewood Polls — announced it had received an anonymous tip raising questions about another sketchy polling provider— this one called SoCal Strategies. After FiftyPlusOne’s suspicions were aroused, it emailed SoCal a few basic questions.

SoCal went dark.

Twenty-four hours later, SoCal’s website was taken down, its X account closed, and its email accounts went offline. Bye, suckers!

When FiftyPlusOne, trying to figure out how to contact the owner, pulled up SoCal’s Florida business registration, the investigation found that SoCal had told the State of Florida it was out of business in May— even though it kept producing polls through October.

382 I live in a very red state. I typically see very few political ads because it’s so one sided. This year I’m seeing a lot of ads from both sides. As if it’s an actual race for several positions

I’ll dismiss polls I’ll dismiss early vote tea leaves. But I won’t dismiss money being spent. Neither side would waste money if the races weren’t at least close enough to make Ds excited and make Rs worried.

I doubt the Ds will win here but the fact it’s close enough to spend money here is a bad sign nationally. Call me a glass half empty pessimist if you want, I’m calling it as I see it.

Well, I certainly had one over the weekend. After whig pointed it out yesterday, I checked Libs of TikTok. Almost 500K views of Anne Hughes.

As an update, I'm trying to get bodycam footage of the Easton PD interaction with Hughes. If I get that, it could be over. I'm also looking into a report of one of my signs stolen in Redding. We'll see about that one as well.

To echo what many others have said here, this whole election cycle has been one big op to suppress the R vote by making us think that resistance is futile. It's an op. In my race, if all the Rs came out to vote for me, I'd become the next state rep in the 135th in CT. Unfortunately, I know that's not the case. I now have to depend upon the kindness and openmindedness of Ds and Unaffiliateds. In deep blue Weston, we'll see.

That said, I have a chance - a good one - to pull this off. Go out and vote, no matter where you live. It matters.

MI isn't the very worst. But the fraud machine is very, very strong there. Rogers is an FBI agent, so he might have enough corruption, blackmail, and moneyed federal-level influence on his side to counter it with his own fraud, but short of that, I can't see it happening.

434 Good morning. Thank you, J.J.

Last week, Rebellion PAC, founded by Cenk Uygur, releases a controversial online campaign advertisement in the Michigan U.S. Senate race linking U.S. military aid to Israel with high domestic grocery and healthcare costs.

Stevens and El Sayed get into a squabble over the ad because while "he did not agree with the contents" but, as he told a CNN correspondent, "He really doesn't think any of this matters." (Facebook, CNN)

NBC News, Meet the Press, October 30, 2026, "Campaign of 'hate' towards El-Sayed is 'beginning to backfire': Re. Debbie Dingell

El-Sayed wants Haley disinvited from the 'church service' in which Rep. Jim Clyburn would also appear over the weekend. But 'Adviser to Clyburn says El-Sayed can't disinvite Stevens from unity event' (The Hill, 10/31/26)

Jim Clyburn joins El-Sayed at multiple Detroit churches services yesterday for a series of "Souls to the Polls" get-out-the-vote events. He was joined by Rep. Debbie Dingle, Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) and Rev. Horace Sheffield III.

Stevens breaks rank and attends the Perfecting Church in Detroit with Rogers. She also releases a video endorsement.

435 Now the Democrats are criticizing Stevens' pro-cryptocurrency voting record and ties to the digital asset industry.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, for not only her support of Israel but,
UK Guardian, in part, "...Curtis Hertel said, "Haley Stevens' decision to campaign with Rogers - a man who has repeatedly sold out Michigan's working class, wants to pass a national abortion ban, and has pledged to be a loyal vote for Trump's agenda - shows that she has abandoned everything she claims to care about. We reject the attempts by Stevens and bad-faith actors to divide our party and undermine our momentum, and will not allow these eleventh-hour distractions deter us."

Stevens was setup; she had no choice. No need for Obama to do more than he did weeks ago for El Sayed. No need for Clyburn to enter the immediate public feud.
Senator Sander's takes over.
---
Cenk Uygur, in 2017/2018 with Justice Democrats and the creation of AOC. Back again after almost a decade to nudge the Dem. party toward socialism so certain hands stay clean.

Again, note the US Senator from MD at attendance at the "El Sayed multi-Detroit church events." Well planned.

Much in my opinion.

In part, "Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Democrats’ Election Protection Task Force convened with key election experts including Marc Elias of the Elias Law Group, Ian Bassin of Protect Democracy, Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward, Vanita Gupta with NYU School of Law, and election law expert Norm Eisen to stress test Congressional responses to potential election threats. Building on a productive meeting last month, the Senators and experts discussed threats to the 2026 midterms, including federally coerced mass voter purges, federal presence at polling locations, and federal law enforcement intervention."

It's like an archeological dig. You screen every shovel of dirt. All you're going to find is bone, mostly fragments.
I don't know how the families will want to handle this, but I have a second cousin (mom's first cousin) who is buried in the St Louis National cemetery with all (of the parts they could find) of the crew of his bomber. One marker with all their names.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, after suggested to be a contender for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028 has a long and ongoing issue with his claimed receiving of a Bronze Star during his military service.

This VERY long and detailed article out of Maryland lays out the steps, efforts, lies and high level Administration pressures to get the award issued retroactively in order that his military record would match his previously made claims.

It's a long one, but I suggest that it is worth the read.

50 Let's see what 3rd party sites I have blocked (set to "Untrusted" in NoScript) when I have AoSHQ loaded.

mgid.com
- This one must be particularly bad. I blocked it specifically in NoScript, uBlock Origin is trying to stop me from going there, and if I push through both of those, the site fails to resolve on my DNS/firewall machine because I have it in a block-list there that re-routes attempts to resolve mgid.com to 127.0.0.1.

This is pretty much my "proportional" response when a site really offends me. "Kill it with fire, then nuke it till it glows in the dark."

powerad.ai
- AI agent for WhatsApp (blocked both in NoScript by me, and uBlock Origin automatically.)

tpdads.com
- Apparently whatever was there went out of business and the domain is up for sale. I'd specifically blocked it in NoScript a while back though.

And of course I have doubleclick.net and google-analytics.com blocked, because of course I do. Those are givens.

Our little church in our little town of Summerville SC is a Polling Place for elections.

Yesterday during announcements, our Pastor mentioned that the parking lot may be crowded on Tuesday during voting hours. At seems that instead of our standard 5 voting machines, we are receiving 10 voting machines for tomorrow's election.

Now mind you, we have already had historic levels of early voting leading up to tomorrow, which would seem to indicate that they expect a rather high total voter turnout for this election.

Dems gotta spread out the fraud amongst more machines so:

a) The fraud isn't as obvious in one machine
b) The machines used in the fraud can be more easily "disappeared" so they can't be audited.

Courts are useless for post-election challenges. You've got to fix the voting process years ahead of a vote so that cheating becomes a lot harder.

How about a little Gentian violet on the voter's fingertips once they've voted so that voting multiple times becomes a LOT harder? How about even that one step? It worked in Iraq...

Thanksgiving 2026: Color Schemes That Look Polished and Feel Like Fall

Thanksgiving asks a lot of an outfit. It needs to survive a long meal, a warm kitchen, a cool porch, and at least a few photographs.

This year’s freshest direction leans into color stories that feel seasonal yet modern. Khaki with cream and tangerine offers a warm, approachable mix. Charcoal and mustard deliver clean contrast. Chocolate brown and olive bring earthy sophistication. And burgundy with blush pink remains the pairing everyone is talking about.

Khaki, Cream, and Tangerine
Khaki and cream create a soft, easy base that reads polished rather than plain. A pop of tangerine adds festive energy without tipping into costume territory. It is the kind of combination that feels intentional without trying too hard.

IMG_3189-rev.jpg

Chocolate Brown and Olive
Chocolate acts like a warmer black. It is rich, grounding, and flattering. Olive adds depth without competing. Together they feel elevated and sophisticated, the sort of look that is refined without being fussy.

IMG_3193-rev.jpg

Charcoal and Mustard
Charcoal provides a cool-leaning neutral. Mustard, ideally a golden or slightly muted ochre rather than pure yellow, injects warmth. The contrast is clean, modern, and perfectly polished for anyone who wants a fall feel without traditional earth tones.

IMG_3190-rev.jpg

Burgundy and Blush Pink
The season’s most talked-about pairing. Burgundy brings depth and richness while blush pink softens it and lifts the overall look. The tension between deep and delicate feels slightly unexpected. It is festive without being obvious.

IMG_3192-rev.jpg

For the Gentlemen
A cable-knit or fine-gauge sweater in burgundy, olive, or chocolate over tailored trousers or dark denim, finished with loafers or clean sneakers, is more than enough. A navy blazer adds polish without formality.

IMG_3194-rev.jpg

Thanksgiving is about gathering and good company. The right outfit simply lets you enjoy this time with a gentle nod to the season instead of looking like you were styled by the centerpiece. It frees you up to worry about more pressing matters, like the cranberry sauce setting or remembering to take the biscuits out of the oven before the smoke alarm goes off. Not that this has ever happened, of course.

The tape measure brings to mind the A&W Root Beer campaign that compared the new A&W one-third lb. burger to the similarly-priced McD Quarter Pounder.

When A&W hired a consumer research outfit to find out why its burger wasn't selling, it found that most of its customers thought a 1/3 lb burger was smaller than a 1/4 pounder. Four is bigger than three after all. That made the McD burger a better value.

One of the problems the CDU in Germany is having is that in their insistence that they will keep the AfD out of power no matter what, is that lots of CDU politicians realize this means allying with the Greens and the open Commies, so those politicians are sending out feelers to the AfD. The first one to break away is going to cause a collapse. Here it looks like Haley is the first one, and there is going to be a collapse.

And Trump welcomed her, and Johnson expressed concern for her safety, while her own previous allies are calling for her head and the end of her political career.
It probably won't win anything on its own, but it is probably enough.

If the CDU wanted to keep AfD out of power they had an easy move to make.

Offer a real, binding immigration moratorium.

If the issue the left has with AfD is they are NAZIs then surely they'd agree right? And AfD popularity would plummet.

And CDU would pick up almost all the AfD votes.

Now there is only one logical explanation for this - the CDU knows AfD aren't NAZIs and in fact the issue MOST important for them is flooding the country with foreign invaders because their current policies and statements support exactly that view of the world.

Been reading about it off and on now for two days now on X. Gist of it is Tusk is becoming unpopular, outsiders like LePen and the Netherlands are suggest Tusk back off, and Tusk admitted that the whole reason he pulled this stunt was to make sure that the opposition could not do a Polexit from the EU like Britain did. Tusk basically damned the UK voters to hell for that vote at the time.

So, apparently Tusk wants to send Polish gold to Frankfurt for disposal of the ECB (Poland has one of the largest gold reserves of any Euro country), switch from the zlotny Polish currency to the Euro, homogenize laws like abortion to conform to European Court of Justice standards, and open the door to migrants for Poland to take its fair share according to the EU.

88 So, apparently Tusk wants to send Polish gold to Frankfurt for disposal of the ECB (Poland has one of the largest gold reserves of any Euro country), switch from the zlotny Polish currency to the Euro, homogenize laws like abortion to conform to European Court of Justice standards, and open the door to migrants for Poland to take its fair share according to the EU.

91 Been reading about it off and on now for two days now on X. Gist of it is Tusk is becoming unpopular, outsiders like LePen and the Netherlands are suggest Tusk back off, and Tusk admitted that the whole reason he pulled this stunt was to make sure that the opposition could not do a Polexit from the EU like Britain did. Tusk basically damned the UK voters to hell for that vote at the time.

It looks to me like his coup failed, but now we are in some sort of odd state where he is still in power. The President controls the armed forces in Poland, not the PM. I imagine there are some interesting discussions going on between the PM and Chief of the General Staff

96 Polish opposition is becoming united against Tusk and are following the President's recommendation so far about his proposal of a reset of the constitutional court, requiring 3/5's majority for the new appointments, etc.

Tusk is insisting that his 'judges' must be seated but the problem is that the remaining justices on the court have announced that they will boycott a scheduled official meeting if Tusk tries to force that. Quorum is ten, Tusk appointed eight, several of these in contravention of Polish law and Constitution. Currently 15 on court and the court budget must be passed in the next couple of days. Without a quorum, court cannot operate nor without a budget.

So we see if Tusk doubles down. Ultimately it rests with police and the army. The police appear to be getting queasy about supporting an increasingly unpopular Tusk and his partisans in their power grab. And the Army permitted the President's plane to land at Warsaw against orders apparently of the Prime Minister Tusk.

EU so far is radio silent on the matter which is shredding its own credibility in other Euro countries and abroad as word gets around about this.

A rumor is floating around that some of these police could not appear to understand Polish and might have been German which if true, will set off a political bomb in both Germany and Poland.

Rumor is damaging enough. Plus the crowd caught a agent provocateur armed in the crowd and shoved him into a police car. Identified as a 'freelance security guy' that had special service in Ukraine. So rumors are flying around about who is involved in the conspiracy domestically and in the EU/Ukraine/Germany in specific.

156 One of the bills that the Constitutional Tribunal was probably going to block by reports was a Tusk party bill that censored the internet.

One thing that this attempted coup has made crystal clear is that a successful coup requires either control of social media, or the ability to shut down social media.

160 But I suspect the plan was for the Germans to gain control via Tusk with German "support" - but since the President got back on the ground and the people seem to be rallying to him that's now complicated.

Welp, Tusk is being called a mutt and German due to his ancestry. His grandfather was in the Wehrmacht in WWII. Germany is who he was trying to please but that is the last country that he can afford to be getting assistance from on an internal matter. Thus, I suspect Ukrainians are infiltrating like the caught agent provocateur was.

165 Poland has big fat GDP they want that too.

Part of the core principles of the EU is that French farmers have to be heavily subsidized, which means that Polish farmers also end up being heavily subsidized.

That would cause a major political issue if Poland actually thought about leaving the EU.

If this were the Lower 48 the Murkowski bank would've been known as the mobbed-up one.

Missouri solved illegal immigration. Other states just complain.

The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted:
• 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language.
• Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds.
• Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet.
• No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year.

Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers.

Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else.

Other states could do the same. They choose not to.

The Taurids come from a debris stream of Comet Encke. And that comet has several streams associated with it.

And there is a tie in with the dreaded Younger Dryas. One of the other main streams hits around late June, and it comes out of the Sun on the morning side. Tunguska was a likely a fragment from this stream.

Anyway it is known that a large comet was the parent of Encke and all this and broke up somewherer around 20-10K years ago. That is known for certain.

And if the YD Impact Hypothesis is correct, that's the one, which likely peppered the Northern Hemisphere with a shotgun blast, equivalent to many Tsar Bombas going off all over the place, such as the big ice sheets and such.

"The persistence of this kind of nonresponse bias introduces the risk of a systematic polling error like those in 2016 or 2020."

"This cycle, Democrats are once again responding to Times/Siena polls at a much higher rate than Republicans. Across these final battleground polls, registered white Democrats were about 30 percent likelier to take the poll than registered white Republicans.

The Taurids come from a debris stream of Comet Encke. And that comet has several streams associated with it.

And there is a tie in with the dreaded Younger Dryas. One of the other main streams hits around late June, and it comes out of the Sun on the morning side. Tunguska was a likely a fragment from this stream.

Anyway it is known that a large comet was the parent of Encke and all this and broke up somewherer around 20-10K years ago. That is known for certain.

And if the YD Impact Hypothesis is correct, that's the one, which likely peppered the Northern Hemisphere with a shotgun blast, equivalent to many Tsar Bombas going off all over the place, such as the big ice sheets and such.

248 AOP,

Look to the east and spot Orion. Follow the belt up and nearby you'll see Aldebaran, a nice red star. Continue looking up and you'll see the Pleiades. The North and Southern Taurid radiants will be to the right of it.

A meteor can come from anywhere, but the bright red is classic Taurid and the time of year is right.

And Uranus is right there below the Pleiades as well.

That might be them.

Easy way to locate them - Find Aldebaran, the bright Red Bulls Eye star in Taurus, who is facing off against Orion. The Pleiades are part of the bull’s shoulder.

An interesting thing about the possible connection to the younger dryas is that most very ancient cultures seemed to take great notice of the Pleiades, which seems odd. I think there’s even a depiction of them at Gobekli Tepe.

250 The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted:
• 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language.
• Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds.
• Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet.
• No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year.

Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers.

Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else.

Other states could do the same. They choose not to.

She's apparently not fine. I'm never going to respond to her again (she deletes them, I guess as she's so controlling they share an email accont). I may have my dude put her contact name as "unkown caller" in my phone.

I don't need this right now. I am realistic about my mother & she's lived a great life & beloved by many.

Go and look it up that evening in past posts. I was reporting precinct numbers in Fulton and GA until suddenly the count stopped and then when resumed the numbers went crazy as in well over 100 percent of registered voters in precincts in Fulton and DeKalb crazy. So you would be wrong in this case.

Frankly no one or evidently teh Trump administration though predicted a stoppage in vote counting across the nation in every swing state. Absolutely unprecedented.

Everyone was worried about mail in fraud. But the stoppage was not additional mail in ballots being found but being injected by any means possible and the Democrats scrambling to make up stories and backdated paper to try to cover it.

302 I plugged in Edmonton in Stellarium. Orion has just risen, and the Northern Taurid radiant is at 121 degrees azimuth, and 43-44 degrees altitude right now.

Pleiades are at 107/42 degrees. Rise time for them is a little after 5PM (UTC-7).

313 “The appointment of eight new members of the Constitutional Tribunal lies within the constitutional power of the Sejm, Poland’s parliament,” the spokesperson added.[\i]
----
I could be mistaken, since I know no Polish (except for some half-remembered scatological insults), but...
The Parliament has the power of appointing the Tribunal, BUT the President must swear them in, which he has refused to do.
This appears to be a form of "checks and balances", placing some inertia in the system.
So, the newly "appointed", but unsworn, members attempted to take over the Tribunal on Friday before a big holiday, while the President was out of the country. Can you say " coup" (kooo), boys and girls?
Lots of legislation passed by the recently elected leftist parliament has been blocked by the Tribunal on the grounds that it conflicts with the Polish Constitution. The left figured that they were going to lose their majority in Parliament and could not electorally defeat the President, so they are in a panic to get their structural laws in place before that.

The years I've cooked the turkey here are the most relaxed Thanksgivings I've ever seen my wife, but it does mean she worries where everyone will sleep. At the cabin we just finished the basement and added more bunk beds, so that will help.

I need to figure out some Thanksgiving cocktails too. I want to go with a rum/tiki theme this year. Claude gave me these suggestions:

before dinner: Kingston Americano/Spiced Kingston Negroni/Rum Sidecar/Spiced Cider Swizzle

after dinner: Hot Buttered Rum/Cardamom Rum Old Fashioned

Also wishing I had set aside some time to talk about the ancestors today, show the kids their photos etc. I really like genealogy but haven't had much time to get stuck in. Both sides have been in the USA/proto usa so long that there's nothing left of their original cultures though, I wish I had something from their traditions to hold on to.

348 If a hockey player has 12 teeth, and takes a stick to the mouth knocking out 3, how many teeth does the player have remaining?
Posted by: Diogenes
-----
Amateur hockey has required full face masks since around 1978, so tooth loss is a pro phenomenon, and even there, relatively rare. No more cups for the bridge on the top shelf in the locker.
We have the team pic for my son's mite team, with him with a huge grin, displaying his missing front teeth. Even though this was a year or two before the full mask rule, it wasn't hockey. He did a header over the handlebars on his bike. They weren't permanent teeth, so no big deal to us, but he thought of himself as a "real" hockey player because of the missing teeth.
He played right through high school, which is why I've spent a lot of time in BC (and a bit in AB).

A young priest asks a wise older priest, "What's the difference between the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?"

The older priest says wearily, "Well, actually they have a lot in common. They were both founded by Spaniards, St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy: the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Lutherans."

The younger priest says, "I see. But where do the Jesuit and Dominican Orders really differ?" The older priest looks at him and says, "Well, have you met any Albigensians lately?"

In my lifetime they lived in Ohio, but before that they came from Texas. My mom was born in Corpus Christi. at the TxMoMe I kept wondering if they had any relatives down there still. I still remember on a family road trip (from California!) spending the night with a great aunt in Alabama. Her husband had a bar but the shelves on the wall behind it were full of little manipulation puzzles. I have a collection of those too. Maybe it runs in the family. There is a metal one I've never solved, and the other day one of my daughters was trying to untangle it. She worked at it for a while, and later it somehow came apart in her pocket. I'm not sure I can even put it back together again.

DH usually goes of the back deck, but last evening mama moose and her twins walked ever so slowly past the deck into the raspberry bushes, and he is rethinking his peeing strategy.

Maybe once the hot tub is in and we fix the fence, then he can go back to marking his territory. For now, I guess he's gonna pee indoors.

It seemed like every day was a flaming skull day back then. I didn't think there would be another Republican President in my lifetime. Since 2024 I've been trying to learn from the faith and optimism of Trump and others.

381 >> very ancient cultures seemed to take great notice of the Pleiades, which seems odd

I meant to respond to this earlier, and almost forgot. Randall Carlson goes into that Pleiades tie-in a lot. For me, some of that is a bridge a bit too far.

There's also the story of Phatheon crashing the sun chariot that he ties in with all this.

And that reminds me, that hell week after Helen blew through here and the power was out everywhere, the skies were truly dark, and I saw the Pleiades in full splendor as well as many other objects. It was breathtaking.

I'll take power any day over that, though.

Faith and optimism and fight. The only reason the Left got the toehold is because to them politics is life. Us, not so much (admirable). But we gotta jump in at the local, state and federal levels. The country and the future is worth it.

The Pleiades have a tie-in with Halloween as well. If you remember Ace's Halloween post the other afternoon, you have the Celtic Samhain festival. Samhain is the 4th cross-quarter date, the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice (Sun's ecliptic longitude is 180 + 45 = 225 degrees).

That occurs around Nov. 7 in the Gregorian, but back in the days of the Celts, it occurred right at Oct. 31 in the Julian.

The Pleaides midnight transit is around Nov. 18 or so. And due precession and the Julian calendar shift, it would've been around the same Oct. 31 date.

Randall Carlson likes to tie that in with some ancient buried memory of the Younger Dryas.
