"Straight Apocalyptic": Horseback Rider Finds Hundreds of Solar Powered Speakers at Mount Shasta

- We have a very strange find out of California. A horseback rider has discovered hundreds, if not thousands, of solar powered speakers in the mountains of Mount Shasta.

You can clearly hear the speakers giving off an overall "White Noise" type of sound.

Some of the speakers do seem to play what sounds like a human voice.

The speakers seem to spread over a wide area of the mountain and can be heard if you are within so many feet of them.

Who would do this?

What are they really doing?

Have any of you ever witnessed Anything like this?

Here's one Muslim apostate on X:

I’m someone who was once a practicing Muslim, I know Islam intimately, from the inside. And right now, I’m deeply, genuinely alarmed.
What breaks my heart is that almost no one truly understands what I’m saying… except those who’ve lived it. The actual victims of this ideology.

It’s a lonely, painful thing, watching something so destructive unfold in plain sight, while the people around you remain completely oblivious.
You see the warning signs so clearly, yet most just smile, nod, and keep scrolling.
That silence and denial is exhausting.

Even worse, some twist the knife by trying to make you feel stupid, like you’re overreacting, paranoid, or imagining something that isn’t even happening.

Violence is inevitable. Hopefully not on a large scale, but Muslims being who they are, will look at UK and think they can do the same without a pushback.

Things will get bloody. Our media will clutch their pearls in horror as the Islamists violently remove the gay/tranny population. There won't be any real pushback until some overt mass attack occurs and suddenly, hopefully it's not too late.

If this country had any sense, we'd ban immigrants from any country where beheadings occur.

She'll run onto the field in her Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, waving a giant Pride Flag. Once she hits the center of the field, she'll begin running through the Iranian fans, then the Egyptian fans.

If she makes it back to her police detail, she'll run home to Mommy and Daddy's house to hide.

The puzzling thing is how they are getting a signal?

Bluetooth - In an outdoor area you’d be luck to get a signal around 100 feet, at most.

WiFi - Outdoors, it could work to about 300 feet.

Wired - Miles of speaker wires strung and buried.

It only makes sense in the video if the woman on the horse, or a friend, was sending signal to the speakers with a phone or laptop.

- They are police, not park rangers. A lot of the criminals they arrest are typical city crimes, such as drug trafficking, violence, etc. the guy I knew had been a NYC cop for years before moving to DC.

You can clearly hear the speakers giving off an overall "White Noise" type of sound.

Some of the speakers do seem to play what sounds like a human voice.

The speakers seem to spread over a wide area of the mountain and can be heard if you are within so many feet of them.

Who would do this?

Trump: I'm Not Signing Any Bills Until the Senate Passes the SAVE Act

Good.

President Trump canceled the signing of a bipartisan housing bill on Wednesday, saying he would not sign the legislation until the Senate passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.
"Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
The development underscores the tension between Trump and Senate Republicans on the SAVE America Act.

If Trump doesn't sign the bill within ten days, it is automatically vetoed. That's the so-called "pocket veto."

Trump had earlier ordered the Postmaster General to not deliver federal mail-in ballots to states which refused to turn over their voter lists for vetting.

The Postmaster General confirmed he will obey that order, in congressional testimony.

Postmaster General David Steiner told senators during a hearing Wednesday that he plans to abide by the Trump administration's rule regarding not delivering mail-in ballots in states that decline to hand over sensitive data about voters to the federal government.

The proposed rule faces court challenges and Steiner said he would follow any court ruling on the matter, but will follow the rule until an order blocks it. The proposed rule seeks to create lists of citizens in each state to help determine who is eligible to vote and calls on the Postal Service not to distribute mail ballots to those not on state lists.

Steiner confirmed he would follow the rule after Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters asked "If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?"

"Under our proposed regulation, no," Steiner said, according to the New York Times. "We would tell the state that we need the manifest."

No. It automatically becomes law if Trump takes no action in 10 days. The pocket veto only happens Congress adjourns during the 10 day period, which I do not believe is likely to occur here.

I do believe that you have to be profoundly stupid - meaning you have a graduate degree or higher - to think that when the 14th was passed they really just wanted to support birth tourism, rather than give citizenship rights to freed blacks and their children. Which the the fucking Democrats were still opposing, even after they lost the Civil War. FFS!
Posted by: Chairborne!...Desk From Above!

There is a section in the INA that basically says that "foundlings" are to be naturalized as of birth as their parents are unknown and therefore the foundlings citizenship cannot be derived from the parents...

Where did that anchor baby idea come from again?

Anyway, anchor babies can start calling themselves "Foundlings".

95 >>>If Trump doesn't sign the bill within ten days, it is automatically vetoed. That's the so-called "pocket veto."

I don't think this is exactly true. He has 10 days to sign or veto. If he just sits on it, it becomes law, jast as if he signed it.

The pocket veto is when he sits on it *and* Congress goes out of session, making it impossible for him to return it. Then, with no signature, the law dies.

Since Congress never goes out of session any more, a pocket veto is no longer a thing.

I could be wrong, but I think that is it.

That's a good reminder. Not only should it be a privilege, but it should be hard. Like having to be done on one day, let's say the first Tuesday of November, and in person with ID. And counted and tallied the same day. And absentee voting only if in the military or on your fucking deathbed. That hard.

No. It automatically becomes law if Trump takes no action in 10 days. The pocket veto only happens Congress adjourns during the 10 day period, which I do not believe is likely to occur here.

If Rittenhouse had walked into someone's yard and shot them when they asked him to leave he would have been convicted of murder.

If Karmelo had a mob of angry white people chasing him down the street yelling they were going to kill him and AFTER one of them assaulted him with a weapon he had stabbed them he would have been found not guilty

112 12> Screwing Banks with foreclosed properties they need to unload.

Banks are not real-estate management firms. They need to get the foreclosed homes off their ledgers. Institutional buyers are the vector that is well equipped to take liabilities, which are often in bad shape, and rehab/flip them. They have the deep pockets to get around financing, inspections, surveys, etc. There is always risk with those applying for an FHA to purchase a foreclosed home that often times is not move-in-ready.

Removing a path for banks to unload foreclosed homes makes the more risk adverse institutions tighten up their eligibility and drives up the prices of homes to cover the heightened risks of taking on new mortgages.

Exactly! I have been noting this for some time now, and pointing to that as the model for addressing “birthright citizenship”.

Indians were granted Citizenship by the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and it was accepted that this fell under the Lawmaking powers of the Legislature. But Congress has never addressed the children of illegals born in this country.

I would not be surprised at all to see SCOTUS reference this in their ruling, and say that this is part of the Legislstive powers, but that the Executive has no constitutional power to do this on his own by an EO.

- and Trump actually supports it.
- and, while Congress is on vacation, they are still pulling the trick of pro forma sessions
- so the supporters of the law say it becomes law unless Trump vetoes it.
- and some friendly group sues in, say, TX, that it's not a law b/c Congress wasn't in session.
- and gets a ruling that pro forma sessions are not "in session."

178 125> Institutional buyers of property

After looking closer at the text, it says that a firm can't have more than a certain number in its portfolio.

Serious institutional investors spread the risk around by having numerous LLCs so that suits against one "firm" doesn't jeopardize the entire umbrella entity's larger portfolio.

So yes, this isn't even a speed bump, its more of an encouragement to institutional investors to divide up their properties into smaller "firms".

203 The housing and realtor lobby is arguably one of the most powerful special interest groups in the U.S.

Driven largely by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the industry outspends major corporate giants, routinely ranking as the number one overall lobbying spender in Washington, D.C.

NAR frequently outspends organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, pouring tens of millions into both federal lobbying and nationwide election cycles.

The Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) is one of the largest in the country. It takes a strictly bipartisan approach, directing funds equally to Democratic and Republican candidates who support real estate interests.

The true reach extends to city halls, statehouses, and zoning boards. Significant local battles shape everything from property taxes to local development and tenant protections.

212 167> What is the Housing Bill?

Its like the 55 MPH speedlimit. Do this thing you don't want to do or we starve you of funds.

There are many communities, whether its a good policy or not, like their town just the way it is and don't want thousands of acres of land for datacenters or housing developments - the latter necessitating massive tax increases to underwrite the development of all infrastructure and social entities such as fire, police, school, courts, sanitation, infrastructure maintenance for the new neighbors.

And their elected officials listen to their constituents - like they should. The Housing Bill is designed to bribe the city council to rubber stamp "affordable housing" development into existence at the expense of destroying the neighborhood's character and culture.

Real estate is poised to take a puke. Investment firms are holding huge holdings that are worth a fraction of the claimed actual market value. In the south and southwest, there are new built apartment complexes standing empty like they were owned by Evergrande. At the moment, in most markets that aren't absorbing NYC tax refugees, the market price of a new house is LOWER than the price of an existing house. The supposition is that the builders are really wanting to get that inventory off their hands fast before the market takes a puke.

There is a huge argument going on if lowering interest rates fuels inflation, or if only printing more money fuels inflation.

Doctrinaire Austrian economist says lowering interest will cause inflation, but the moderate ones say it just causes business cycles (boom-bust recessionary cycles) but not necessarily inflation since the inflationary part of the cycle gets eaten in the devaluation in the recession. And that only becomes inflation if the Government prints more money to support the market to avoid the bust part of the cycle.

282 So, I always did back of the envelope math to check to see whether I should save for a house. I'd look for something nice but smaller in the area, assume a 10% down-payment and check to see what it would be for the mortgage payment. Before it always worked out less than what I was paying for apartment rent, but you had to get that 10%.

I looked again here recently. The cheapest I could find fairly close to Lexington was 200k for a 14-1500 sq ft home built in... '57. I actually liked the look. Lots of wood. Privacy fenced backyard. Unfinished basement. Fine.

Plugged the current Intrest rate and assumed a 20k down-payment. Roughly 2000 per month- which is a LOT more than apartment rent.

That is fucked up.

Supreme Court Overrules Lower Leftwing Judges: Trump May Turn Away Illegals at Border Without First Letting Them Into the Country, The "Temporary" Protected Status Afforded to Syrians and Hatians is, Get This, TEMPORARY and May Be Rescinded

It's incredible that Trump had to fight for the right of the executive to turn illegals away at the border rather than requiring the executive to let them into the country to submit their falsified asylum claims.

Now, if an illegal alien is in the US, judges have ruled he gets to stay while his fake claims are heard (for 8-12 years).

But Trump was turning them away before they got into the country.

Leftwing judges decided that even turning them away into the border was still letting them "arrive in the US," so they get to stay 8-12 years while their phony claims are heard.

In other words -- this is so stupid it's hard to graft -- if you stop an illegal alien before he crosses into the country, leftwing judges insisted he still "arrived in America" when he came to the border and now you have to let him in and let him stay.

The Supreme Court said: "No."

Benjamin Ryan
@benryanwriter

NEWS: The Supreme Court just gave the federal government the power to turn away asylum seekers at the border before they ever set foot on American soil.
In a 6-3 ruling in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court held that a migrant standing in Mexico has not "arrived in the United States" under federal immigration law until he physically crosses the border. Until that moment, the government owes him no inspection and no chance to apply for asylum.
The decision clears the way for the Trump administration to revive "metering," the practice of stationing officers at ports of entry to cap how many asylum seekers are processed each day and block the rest from crossing.
Justice Alito, writing for the majority, rested the case on the ordinary meaning of a single phrase. To arrive in a place is to enter it, he reasoned, and "that conclusion does not change because someone or something blocks entry."
Justice Sotomayor, in a scathing dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, said the ruling lets the Executive Branch "circumvent all these mandatory procedures by having U.S. immigration officers stand at the border and physically block noncitizens from setting a foot onto U.S. soil." That holds, she wrote, "even if the asylum seeker is certain to be persecuted, or killed, if she is turned away." She accused the majority of an interpretation "driven almost entirely by a fixation on a single word: 'in.'"
Alito was joined by the chief justice, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. The three liberal justices dissented.

Leftwing judges had also insisted the TPP status -- Temporary Protected Person status -- granted to nationals of Haiti and Syria were effectively permanent and Trump could never end them, Because Muh Racism.

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disaster in Haiti and Syria, exposing hundreds of thousands more people to potential deportation.

They Haiti disaster was an earthquake in 1993.

The 6-3 decision overturns lower court orders and allows the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly end temporary protected status, a program that protects a total of 1.3 million people from 17 countries.
The Trump administration argued judges that can't second-guess immigrations officials' decisions about the protections, which were intended to be temporary.
Immigration attorneys said the countries remain unsafe to return, and the administration ended them in an unlawfully hasty process tinged by racial animus. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants were abducting and eating dogs and cats.
The Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court after judges postponed the end of the program for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The high court sided with the administration before and allowed the end of the program for people from Venezuela.
Federal authorities deny that racial animus played a role. They also cited a Supreme Court decision from Trump's first term that rejected bias claims based on his social media posts and upheld a travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries.
DHS has ended the protections people from 13 countries since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, including some that had been in place for more than a decade.
The terminations were made even though countries like Haiti and Syria remain dangerous, immigration attorneys said. Four Haitian women who were deported from the United States in February were found beheaded and dumped in a river several months later, lawyers said in court documents.
The House passed legislation with a rare bipartisan vote in April that would extend protections for Haitians, though the bill has languished in the Senate.
The U.S. first granted protections to Haitians in 2010 after a catastrophic earthquake, and extended them multiple times amid ongoing gang violence that has displaced more than a million people, according to court documents.
Syrians, meanwhile, were first granted protected status in 2012, during a civil war that lasted for more than a decade before the fall of President Bashar Assad's government in late 2024.
TPS was created by Congress in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries suffering from natural disasters, civil strife and other instability. It allows people already in the country to stay with work permits in increments of up to 18 months, but it doesn't provide a path to citizenship.

13 Justice Sotomayor, in a scathing dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, said the ruling lets the Executive Branch "circumvent all these mandatory procedures by having U.S. immigration officers stand at the border and physically block noncitizens from setting a foot onto U.S. soil." That holds, she wrote, "even if the asylum seeker is certain to be persecuted, or killed, if she is turned away."

American football is derived from rugby. In order to score a try in rugby, the ball must be physically 'touched down' in the 'end zone'. The 'points after' kick is moved back parallel to the touch line (sideline) as far as the kicker desires. This motivates touching the ball down as close to the middle of the goal posts as possible.

Rugby is a far superior game to American football.

Which is correct. That's why I'm mystified at the masses of Central and South Americans currently in Mexico waiting to blast the border the minute a Democrat president gets elected. We saw that video yesterday of people hanging around waiting for Nov 2028. Did Mexico give them all TPS or something?

107 AI sez about Haiti:

"The Post-War Boom: Between 1946 and 1956, tourism flourished under the stable administrations of Léon Dumarsais Estimé and Paul Eugene Magloire. The capital, Port-au-Prince, became a major cultural hub with a bustling waterfront tailored to international cruise ships.

A Magnet for Celebrities: Celebrities, artists, and political figures flocked to Haiti for its distinct French/Creole culture, vibrant art scene, upscale hotels, and gambling. Famous visitors included Truman Capote, Mick Jagger, Muhammad Ali, and Bill and Hillary Clinton, who famously honeymooned there in 1975.

The 1970s Peak: After a dip in the 1960s, tourism rebounded sharply in the 1970s due to a new international airport and improved U.S. relations. By the end of the decade, annual visitors peaked at around 150,000 to 300,000 (combining air and sea arrivals), making tourism Haiti's second-largest earner of foreign exchange."

112 One other thing that this decision helps blow up is a new legal concept that the rogue judges that are trying to invent - which is that "intent" is a valid legal concept in judging whether something is legal or not.

Trump may have the legal authority to do something, but if he is doing it for the Wrong Reasons, then you can still deny his authority - for example, claiming that he can't remove TPS status for Haitians, because he is doing it for racist reasons.

It's a way of formalizing the legal concept that Democratic Presidents are allowed discretion in making decisions, and Trump is not.

172 Iran can't "close" Hormuz. It can make statements that give pause to commercial shipping, already wary about entering or exiting the area if they don't have insurance on the ship and/or cargo. Or if the insurance is (likely) very high. Nobody's going to risk a multi-billion dollar VLCC if Iran's making noise. Especially if the crew is sketchy about the trip.

It's an ongoing problem that isn't being dealt with, and therefore at least worthy of note.

It's easier to pay the toll than worry about causing trouble, so most of the world will in fact just pay the toll (some apparently already have).

Trump and his team have said a lot of shit about their negotiations that hasn't been supported at all by the real world behavior of the Iranians.

One analyst I read has stated that if you are dealing with Germany or Japan, it is a matter of knocking down each point individually, and only renegotiating if there is a big change, because that is what you do in an office over a table.
When you negotiate with the Iranians, you are buying a load of carpets in the bazaar and any change means screaming and an automatic renegotiation of the entire deal.
This requires a different negotiation style.

I keep hearing tIran's Navy is decimated, yet somehow they keep asserting this. I thought the "deal" made it clear this was off the table. I'm sure they'll abide by all the other deal points though. Just as soon as we give them $300 billion.

230 And this case has big implication for the current lawless judge-made law of requiring ICE to release illegals out on bail.

I can't recall the whole argument but it's basically judges saying something like, "sure the statute was written to close a loophole that treated those who snuck in better than those who go through customs.
But we don't like that and want illegals to get out on bond no matter where they're caught.
So we read the limitation of eligibility for bond as for only those at the border to mean anyone who is caught by ICE anywhere."

Right now, I think the 5th and the 8th say, "no bond for those who sneak in--the law clearly says what is says."

And it's the 2nd or the 4th that's saying "if you sneak in, you can pinky swear to show at court if you get caught."

Iran screamed and yelled "not A"

Maybe the Iranians are lying. Maybe the ones releasing statements aren't in charge. Maybe they're splitting hairs on "scheduled." Whichever way, anybody who thinks Iran is calling the shots has lost the plot.

The Morning Rant

The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer of socialism that in and of itself is compatible with Islam.

What they did was clever...embracing the disaffection of an over-educated youth whose worthless degrees and lack of any actual worthwhile skills prevented them from entering the highly competitive workforce of NYC, all while expanding their cutely named "Democratic Socialist" platform to include a reprehensible foreign policy that centers around Jew-hate. That attracted the new 3rd World immigrants and the AWFLs. Couple that with a notoriously low turn-out and obvious vote manipulation, and Bingo! We have a NYC that is indistinguishable from Cuba.

Their platform is simple. America is evil. Israel is evil. Market economies are evil. Wealth is evil. The rule of law is evil. Confiscatory taxation to fund a comprehensive welfare state to benefit their voters is the only way to run a city, state, or nation.

Jeffrey Carter, a finance guy who came within a few thousand votes of the Republican nomination for NV Treasurer, has written a primer on the emergence of socialism in America, and it is worth a careful read. He is polite, and sometimes calls them Democrats, but the results are the same.

The Socialist Sweep

Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education. They became respected members of the professor class, and frankly, that professor class had a bias toward welcoming them in. That’s how Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked. Here they are. Smiling commies with their red stars. Totally accepted in the Obama network.
Never forget, The Weatherman and 60s radicals all grew up wealthy. Ayer’s father was the CEO of Commonwealth Edison. They have trust funds and generational wealth to rely on. President FDR was the same. They won’t part with it, but they are happy to take yours.
It took a couple of generations via taking over the public and private school system, but we have a lot of people out there who do not understand capitalism and think America is a racist country with a flawed founding.
They are easily persuaded to communism, socialism, or whatever you want to call it.
No amount of data can get them out of their confirmation bias.

Well, there is one bit of data that will convince them of the evils of socialism, but that is the end game, when they are lined up against a wall and shot for being enemies of the state. That is the unavoidable result of the ignorance that is engulfing the West. As Marx himself said:

When our turn comes, we shall make no excuse for the terror.

So where will patriotic Democrats go, now that the hard left of their party is subsuming the rest of them?

The center of the Democratic Party is gone. It's over for people like Senator Fetterman. There are no Danny Rostenkowskis, Scoop Jacksons, or Tip O' Neills. Rahm Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama's Chief of Staff.

The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin's...the lust for power is all-encompassing, and mainstream Democrats will hold their noses and continue to vote for what can only end in Gulags and concentration camps and wholesale murder and death.

They seem nice!

It's rather a shock that people who immigrated to this country hate the country, but that was the goal of the left.

They've succeeded. This is what they want to happen to the rest of the country.

61 FREE SPEECH COALITION, INC., et al. v. PAXTON,
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS

Held: H. B. 1181 triggers, and survives, review under intermediate scru-
tiny because it only incidentally burdens the protected speech of adults.
Pp. 470–499.
(a) H. B. 1181 is subject to intermediate scrutiny. Pp. 470–495.
(1) To determine whether a law that regulates speech violates the
First Amendment, the Court considers both the nature of the burden
imposed by the law and the nature of the speech at issue. Laws that
target protected speech “based on its communicative content” “are pre-
sumptively unconstitutional and may be justifed only if ” they satisfy
strict scrutiny. Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U. S. 155, 163. Laws that
only incidentally burden protected speech are subject to intermediate
scrutiny.

92 Hunter's thoughts on the NYC election:

"I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it.
Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed.

People want to be led."

What if the whole "socialism taking over the party" thing is an op, as the kids say? The failing Uniparty allows them to grow out of proportion, then when America as a whole has finally had enough, they can go full on "We Have To Shred The Constitution To Save The Constitution" and we get a Patriot Act 2.0 that would make the most stalwart Stasi commandant blush?

Brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel:

Architect and key advisor of the Affordable Care Act.

Prominent bioethicist, oncologist, and health policy expert at the University of Pennsylvania who served on the Biden-Harris Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board. Throughout the pandemic, his work heavily focused on vaccine distribution ethics, health equity, and a strategic transition to endemicity.

Strongly advocates for equitable access to gender-affirming care for transgender individuals.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel's "Why I Hope to Die at 75" is a controversial 2014 essay arguing that living past age 75 often leads to a diminished quality of life.

A senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

Current Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania and chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy.

AND the other brother, Ari Emanuel, officially became a billionaire, with his personal net worth crossing the $1 threshold.

Yeah, it seems like it was somewhat performative, like a comfortable teen rebelling against daddy, knowing he/she will never be kicked out, disowned, inheritance lost, etc. It as "edgy" while still enjoying all the benefits of a stable, functioning normie America. You get the thrill of disruption without really paying the price.

The new generation is different, partly because they accepted the rebellion 110%, not understanding there were limits so that comfort could be maintained. Nope, they are true believers - yes, the planet really is dying (and all the other hyperbole), so it's by any means necessary time, you guys!

The other part is that there's now a lot of young foreigners in the mix who hate us, hate our country, and *don't want to maintain comfort**. They crave our discomfort, their aim is to end it permanently, and as one of Mamdani's acolytes has openly advocated: end western civilization.

143 The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because ~~the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin's~~...

...they're afraid their friends and social media personalities will call them evil Nazi racist CHUDs if they aren't 150% down for the socialist struggle.

In fact, there are two main cohorts for the bulk supporters (not the rich elite that run them):

1- the bored AWFL who is comfortably bored, feels guilty for having it so well, and wants an easy, low-risk way to do something of "value". Slacktivism while keeping your money but getting to fly your queer flags and bumper stickers for free public validation

2- True lazy or losers. It's tough to make a decent living. More so if you're dumb and ugly. Instead of working harder, embrace your loserness, say it's a lifestyle choice, and it's why society oppresses you and makes you fail. Dems promise to give you a free life.

The last group reminds me of Ephialtes from the movie 300. He couldn't accept a limited, but important, role in society, so he went to Xerxes who would let him do whatever and reward him, as long as he submitted.

Take a look at the demographic breakdown of the voters who went for the communist candidates in NYC including Mamdani. They didn't lead or convert anyone, they are part of a newly created demographic that includes over educated know nothings that have been indoctrinated for generations in our garbage schools and immigrants, lots of 3rd world immigrants.

We allowed our public schools and universities to become radicalized and that's what they are teaching. And we've had years of mass immigration, legal and illegal, of people with no intention of assimilating. They tend to infest big cities and not just in blue states.

One thing for damn sure, no matter how much power they gain none of them can govern any batter than Bernie Sanders.

154 We're seeing Leftists ally with Muslims everywhere.

Muslims getting over 10% or so is the tipping point when allied with Leftists. Muslims turnout and vote as a block, as do Leftists.

They're 15% in London and are over 10% in many English cities. They're not in the shires, and are only 6% of all Britain.

In NYC they're over 9%, but only 1% for the entire USA (Jews are 2-3%). I've pointed out that NYC has odd local politics that exacerbate the effect of the Muslim/Leftist voting alliance. Which is why we're seeing Mamdami & Co getting so much attention because they now control NYC Media Central.

There could be good in this, if it wakes up Americans to Turnout. For instance, I expect that Blakeman will take out Hochul for the NY Governorship. Lee Zeldin made a kamikaze run last time and nearly won.

166 Take a look at the demographic breakdown of the voters who went for the communist candidates in NYC including Mamdani. They didn't lead or convert anyone, they are part of a newly created demographic that includes over educated know nothings that have been indoctrinated for generations in our garbage schools and immigrants, lots of 3rd world immigrants.

We allowed our public schools and universities to become radicalized and that's what they are teaching. And we've had years of mass immigration, legal and illegal, of people with no intention of assimilating. They tend to infest big cities and not just in blue states.

One thing for damn sure, no matter how much power they gain none of them can govern any batter than Bernie Sanders.

174 155 We're seeing Leftists ally with Muslims everywhere.

Muslims getting over 10% or so is the tipping point when allied with Leftists. Muslims turnout and vote as a block, as do Leftists.

They're 15% in London and are over 10% in many English cities. They're not in the shires, and are only 6% of all Britain.

In NYC they're over 9%, but only 1% for the entire USA (Jews are 2-3%). I've pointed out that NYC has odd local politics that exacerbate the effect of the Muslim/Leftist voting alliance. Which is why we're seeing Mamdami & Co getting so much attention because they now control NYC Media Central.

There could be good in this, if it wakes up Americans to Turnout. For instance, I expect that Blakeman will take out Hochul for the NY Governorship. Lee Zeldin made a kamikaze run last time and nearly won.

175 If you crave mental clarity and want to cut through the confused psychological operations being foisted upon you by malefactors who enjoy messing with you, I will ALWAYS tell you what's actually going on. (When I know which certainly isn't always.)

The Hunter post spells out the op pretty well. He's being deployed as a "truth teller" but what he's really doing is using his trusted name (my word as a Biden) to massage the narrative for the normies and everyone else.

And the narrative for now is - they had Trump, now WE have this, and they are therefore *automatically* equivalent. Basically acting like their harbored extremism is some kind of mirror or reaction, when really it's just a new operation, and the only plausible direction they could go in once Trump yoinked the political center and gave them no "old" place to push back.

Trump used the truth to take over the political scene. They are using their same old tired deranged lies but now amplified. And claiming that if it's the same *volume* as Trump it must therefore contain the same substance. And it will work on a lot of people. But Trump is still around - and will have an effective response at some point.

This is the DSA co-chair. Let me summarize what he says in this video:

We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.

Ballots Exceed Voters in 3 Decisive States in the 2020 Election.

Michigan: 499,850 more ballots than voters.
Margin: 154,188.

Pennsylvania: 155,053 more ballots than voters Margin: 80,555.

Georgia, Fulton County alone: 22,534 more ballots than voters.
Margin: 11,779.

Each discrepancy independently exceeds its state's margin of victory.

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

Christopher Rufo makes the same salient point in his last book "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything."

The American Marxist cultural revolution of the '60s and '70s failed because they couldn't seize the means of PHYSICAL production.

They then "retooled and seized upon" Herbert Marcuse's strategy of taking over all the institutions beginning with the academy.

Now they've succeeded because they have effectively seized the means of KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, and COMMUNICATIONS production.

In my Dad's family, it's ANT in front of a consonant (Aunt Marie) and AANT in front of a vowel (Aunt Evelyn). I'm not sure why; probably inherited from immigrant parents trying to figure out English rules from a mix of native speakers.

Buckminster Fuller (the geodesic dome guy) had an answer for that.

He went to give one of his talks (don't remember if it was NYC... most major cities have the same scam) and they told him he had to hire two stagehands.

"But I just give a lecture. I don't need any stagehands."

"Gotta hire 'em. No stagehands, no lecture."

So he called up a music store, rented a couple of grand pianos, and had them delivered to the venue.

Then, throughout his entire lecture, he'd stop and say "Now, I want that piano over there, and *that* piano over *there*.

As I recall, they didn't try to pull that crap on him the next time he visited that town.

Not really. The local miners wanted to call it Ptarmigan when they first got a post office, but they couldn't agree on how it was spelled.

They went with Chicken instead.

Replying to @LatamData
The FT reports that Caracas is preparing to disclose total debt of roughly USD 240 billion, a figure materially higher than the market's working range of USD 150 billion to 200 billion and one that would make this the largest sovereign restructuring on record, eclipsing the Greek default of 2012 and its USD 200 billion.

The number is to be put to creditors in the coming weeks, alongside a macroeconomic framework due later this month that will size the battered economy near USD 100 billion, down from about USD 370 billion in 2012, which places the debt at something above 200 percent of output. [ . . . ]

343 It's interesting to watch the slow collapse of institutions that were captured.

I sorted today's mail and found an "invitation" to support my alma mater by joining its life insurance group. It's the fifth mailing this month for a fundraising, whether sales or alumni events.

A few years ago, a Jewish classmate told me flat out that she won't support a nest of anti-semitism. The younger alumni, particularly those from overseas, don't donate unless there's a significant quid pro quo. Admission scandals and Chinese students smuggling in bioweapons have the old-timers dropping support and changing their wills.

Posted by: gp
----
Looked it up. $113.85, HR charged (union dues, IRA contribution, etc included) , $61.80 regular time paid. Min 8 hrs on any day show up.
Then add in all the overtime. Anything over 8 hrs daily, over 40 hrs per week. Overtime on ANY holiday, sometimes paid even without working,the double and triple time for actually working on the holiday. Double time on overtime, triple time when it goes over 2 hours daily over over 4 hours weekly. Accumulated: the daily charge is independent of the weekly, and vice versa.
The union keeps the membership down, so that OT is almost guaranteed.
I had a college classmate who's father had been a city steam fitter along with his uncle. His father passed when he was in high school. His uncle said, as a "deceased legacy" he could get him into the union and the city job.
Five years after graduation we were talking and he said that he did the calculations, and he would never, short of starting a company, pass that total income as an engineer.

They appear to be in a lush landscape, defined through de Kooning’s mastery of greens and yellows that create a distinct fore-ground

Animated series ViQueens. Apparently not alphabet.
Just girllllll power.

EXCLUSIVE: Dutch-Norwegian director Zwart Arbeid gave a sneak peek of his upcoming animated feature ViQueens in a masterclass at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Thursday, and Deadline can share the teaser exclusively too.

Co-starring Ella Purnell and Rita Ora in the voice cast, with a special appearance by global soccer superstar Erling Haaland, the adventure-comedy follows fearless Viking girls Ingrid and Hedvig as they defy tradition to return a stowaway boy to China.

Their journey spans icy fjords, Byzantine intrigue, and the fabled Silk Road, blending Viking grit with ancient Chinese wisdom, unexpected alliances, and a touch of magic.

This case challenges the federal government’s policy of systematically turning back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.

The court reverses the Ninth Circuit.

I dunno if we ever found any mines there yet. But at least the shippers and their insurers are gaining confidence in the safety of transiting the Strait, and transits seem to be increasing.

189 I have a bit of an issue with the term "closing" the Hormuz. It's never "closed." It IS, sometimes, risky to traverse. I've always contended that the commercial shipping industry's aversion for risk is what we're really discussing.

A couple of Florida rednecks hell bent on motoring through in a fast boat wouldn't think twice about running Iran's silly blockade. But a multi-billion dollar VLCC without insurance and a skittish crew isn't going to even think about it.

Every time someone in Iran runs their mouth about the Hormuz being "closed" we oughta' drop 20 2000lb bombs on 20 of their mosques. And then tell them to shut the fuck up.

214 We have the final decision, in Mullin v. Doe

It is 6-3.

Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson.

This case is a challenge to the decision by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status (a program that allows recipients to remain in the US and work if they cannot return safely to their own countries) for Syrian and Haitian nationals.

The court holds that the Syrian and Haitian nationals are not "entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation."

The Supreme Court first holds that courts cannot review the Haitian and Syrian nationals' non-constitutional claims, because the TPS statute bars judicial review.

But don’t fret, Erdogan is our new best friend in the region. Trump is heading to Ankara in a week or two, and a headline in a Turkish outlet says that Trump told Erdogan he is attending Nato's Ankara summit 'just for him'. US sources say he’s bringing a deal to sell Erdogan all the advanced aircraft engines and F-35’s he is asking for. Israel is unhappy, but who cares.

230 That's two decisions from SCOTUS today that are "the law means what it says."

1st, "arrives in" means actually "in" the United States, not at or near the border or a port of entry. Meaning asylum seekers can be turned back, we are not required to grant them entry and process--or even consider--their asylum claim.

2nd, TPS, when the law says no judicial review, it means no judicial review.

Signed ‘de Kooning’ (lower right); signed again and dedicated 'to ELANA with love Bill de Kooning' (on the backing board)
oil and charcoal on paper mounted on canvas
30 1/8 x 35 in. (76.5 x 88.9 cm.)
Painted circa 1976.

In part, "Willem de Kooning’s depictions of women are among the most significant works of the Post-War period. De Kooning worked in the space between abstraction and figuration, allowing the two to flow into one another. His nonobjective works reference the human body in their arcs and rhythms, and his figural works slip into abstract lines and forms. The present work, Two Women in a Landscape, is a prime example of the artist’s masterful depiction of classical subject matter – both the female nude and landscapes – entwined with characteristic vibrancy and innovation."

AI Overview: The Environment: Reflects de Kooning's fascination with Long Island's East End, capturing an atmospheric blend of divine femininity and "mother earth" metaphors. (wut?)

De Kooning returned to the motif of women in outdoor settings throughout his career. See Willem de Kooning’s 1950s "Woman" series. 🧻

Not that I care about the WNBA, but I don't like that kind of brutal bullying in the game.

Incidental contact, sure it happens.

That crap, no.

The WNBA should establish a new rule for fouls like that that takes the player who fouls out of the game with no replacement for...oh, say, 5 minutes.

With a "no payment" ban on playing at all in the next 5 games for a second offense during the same game.

262 Lol - I never saw this before.

"The Avengers" with Steed and Peele on Prime. The episode is "Who's Who???" where an evil German scientist uses his device to transplant the minds of the villains into our heroes.

They actually had an "Important Announcement" where they summarized the plot for people just coming in. Explicitly telling them that their minds have been swapped. These people are actually Steed and Peele. And the villains actually are in Peele and Steed's bodies.

That was just funny. And done in an amusing way too.

263 The WNBA is missing a huge and profitable bet with Caitlin Collins, one that could increase their attendance and viewership by a factor 10, easily!

Imagine this: let Caitlin continue to play as usual, but hire on a group of Polish Euro-league players to be her teammates. Tell each of them they have to put a blonde wig on and call themselves "Mary", that'll please the trans crowd. Her job will be just to shoot; their job will be to punch anyone on the other team who tries to bother her in the mouth. Expect 2 - 3 bench clearing brawls each game, so make sure and have a whole line of 6'6" Polish goons on the bench ready and waiting for it. They can call their team the "White Demons".

I tell ya, it works for hockey, it worked for roller derby, the WNBA will become the most watched sports network in the world!

MJ got calls late in his career but in the late 80s during the Pistons “Jordan rules” era that Pistons Bad Boys team pummeled the crap out of MJ and it worked… the mid-90s Knicks did the same thing to MJ and it almost worked. That was back when to play in the NBA would had to put on your big boy pants. It was rough just ask Bill Laimbeer

This.

Jordan got pummeled early in his career.

If you want to blame anyone for how Jordan "got away with things," blame the officials and the league. THEY'RE the ones that stopped calling things. Jordan just got away with what they let him.

However, NOTHING Jordan did and got away with compares to what LeBitch gets away with on a daily basis.

MJ didn't win a championship until 91 when Bird and Johnson were basically done and Detroit broke up. That's when the NBA really changed what was allowed on offense. The cross over carry makes it almost impossible to defend. And that extra step or half step makes it impossible to defend in the post.

And the thing that makes him above the rest in most cases was he made the players AROUND him better. He wasn't a selfish player. Sure, he'd dominate a game or take over in crunch time, but there were plenty of examples where he would draw the defense and dish it for the final shot.

Much like OnlyFans (also owned by the same group of people), it's intended to gradually deteriorate American society through reduced birth rates, racial mixing and promoting homosexuality.

For the most part, it's working. America's replacement rate among native born citizens is cratering.

The Morning Report — 6/ 25 /26

Good morning kids. The big story this morning is that a massive earthquake struck Venezuela late yesterday afternoon and first reports indicate mass casualties and destruction. Prayers for the victims and Godspeed to the rescue workers, which of course will, as is always the case, include many Americans both in and out of uniform.

Venezuela was rocked by its strongest earthquakes in over a century on Wednesday afternoon — causing widespread destruction in the capital of Caracas and fears of as many as 100,000 casualties.
A magnitude 7.2 quake struck roughly 100 miles west of Caracas, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor just a minute later, according to the US Geological Survey. “High casualties and extensive damage are probable, and the disaster is likely widespread,” the USGS warned.

Closer to home it looks as if a couple of political earthquakes are shaking up the establishments of both parties. On the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post, both CBD and i discussed the ramifications locally in NYC and nationally with the victory of Mad Mamdani minions who are equally insane and tyrannical in their views.

Repulsive and Gorgon-esque as James Carville is, he still remains as a key representative and thought leader such as the case may be of the mainstream Democrat party. And he is having massive conniption fits over the primary election in New York.

Carville freaked out at the results. He noted that Avila Chevalier, who was born to Dominican immigrants, once said white people should not be in interracial marriages. “Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I’m sorry. I’m just not. And I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word: schism. I really do. Everybody’s always said, ‘No, no. We’re a coalition. We’re a big tent. And there’s just some sh*t I can’t be in the same tent with.” Carville then insisted that despite winning their Democratic primaries, “these people are not Democrats.” He then suggested that establishment Democrats “negotiate the terms of a schism” with democratic socialists in the party.

Oh, James, old boy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are most definitely in the same party as this filthy evil slag. Meh, this would be amusing if it weren't so disgusting. The descriptor of "Far-Left" for some Democrats is the same as "Radical" for Muslims. It's a redundancy. It's a naked attempt to whitewash and minimize the core beliefs and values of each which are self-evident through their actions over a long and bloody history. A history of causing a civil war to preserve slavery, and then to repress the freed slaves for over 100 years and create one of the most massive welfare states to keep them enslaved for your political gain at the cost of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of wasted lives. And when you've genocided the hell out of your base, the only thing left is to throw open the borders and register third world wetback criminals by the millions as Democrats and steal the elections you still can't win legitimately.

Carville, you and yours have done all you could to hack away at the Constitution and individual liberty in order to create a gargantuan centralized bureaucracy where your fellow travelers are at the controls generationally and in perpetuity. The views of Wilson and FDR are crystal clear in dismantling America as founded in service of that fever dream of absolute power.

And the disparate groups in your big tent share one thing in common — an incandescent hatred for this country, its citizens, history, heritage and western Judeo-Christian civilization, morality and sanity, and so for Carville and others of his ilk to be freaking out over what happened in NYC, where the hell was he when Bernie Sanders was elected to the Senate over and over again on a platform of naked in-your-face communism which is exactly what got elected in NYC and lookie here what's happening in California, surprise surprise!

The Mamdani regime in New York City has already been making noises about moving on this sort of thing, and now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups’. This is fundamentally no different than politicians using eminent domain to seize property and transfer it to their political allies who then fund their political campaigns. . .
. . . Socialist governments create pressure on landlords through every possible means. As prices rise and housing stock drops, creating a ‘housing crisis’, they cite the homeless vagrants as evidence that there is a serious threat and justify property seizures. We’re now in stage 3 of their plan. Stay tuned for stage 4.

You know what else has a "stage 4?" Incurable cancer.

As we also noted on the podcast, this bit of very positive news.

The Prairieland case in Texas is actually worth celebrating because it’s one of the few times the feds went after an Antifa-linked group with real teeth, leading to the first federal terrorism-related convictions and sentencing of individuals affiliated with Antifa in U.S. history.
For once, the material support law was used, and it worked. But at the same time, it’s nowhere near enough, and that’s the frustrating part.
President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization back in September 2025. That was supposed to mean something. Americans were supposed to see mass action against the violent extremists terrorizing our country. But months later, Prairieland stands out as almost the only case where they brought terrorist charges and took a group to trial over it.
Think about what the domestic terrorism definition actually says. It covers acts that are dangerous to human life, break criminal laws, and look like they’re meant to intimidate civilians, push the government to change policy through fear, or mess with government functions through destruction or attacks.
The Prairieland case is not the only time Antifa planned an attack meant to intimidate and cause mass destruction. It’s not even the first time that the violent group has acted to shut down federal immigration enforcement.

And Antifa is the unofficial (wink-wink) Democrat/Leftist brownshirt goon squad that take to the streets to commit political terrorism with the protection of Democrat politicians and worse Judges, Attorneys General and other corrupted appendages of our justice system to further their collective aims at societal dissolution and the accrual of absolute power.

Let's hope they all rot in prison and that God-forbid a future Democrat president does not set them free.

Have a good day,

I’m not saying every protester with a sign should get terrorism charges. But when you have organized, repeated violence with planning, weapons, and clear goals to stop government functions through fear, the federal government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from terror. The Prairieland case is the first time we are seeing action against this terrorist organization acting on U.S. soil, and we should celebrate the combined 450-year sentences received by the violent rioters involved. But this can’t be a one-and-done situation. Because right now it’s one big example in a sea of cases being treated as no big deal. I’ve gotten a taste of justice, and I want to see all those responsible for terrorizing innocent people brought before me. I want the hive destroyed.

32 Karmelo Anthony’s New Appeal Strategy Takes Aim At His Own Inner Circle

“Y’all non lawyers can argue about if he were guilty or not,” Moore continued. “Most real lawyers realize this was a punishment case. With that being the case, you simply don’t run around going on a press tour touting a false narrative. I’m pissed.”

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

So it would appear as though his appeal team is not going to try and overturn the conviction but, rather, argue that the punishment was too high and was driven by the actions of people other than the murderer.

Bold move, let's see if it works out for them.

he has an appointment soon to look into PRP injections (pricey!) but I thought, let's try the Wolverine stack, why not?

BP-157 and TD-500

JUST the BP one first helped a little. the stack? he doesn't even want to go to the PRP doc appointment (he will anyway after waiting this long to get in!).

I recommended it to a nurse friend of mine with chronic back pain. she actually got her docs to inject (the best way to get the peptides for pain). nothing - NOTHING - was helping her pain.

But with fair elections, Dems would win only narrowly, say 53-47 instead of 75-25, 4. With the Dem machine in firm control of the election apparatus, I see no obvious way of fixing the situation

127 The Lebron James era of BBall has seen the largest erosion of fan viewership.

It is my belief that LeBitch James should be held out of the Hall of Fame, despite his 'record setting career' because of the damage he's done to the game with his constant whining and flopping.

He didn't invent it. That dubious distinction goes to Tim Duncan, the father of the NBA flop and whine. However, LeBitch has perfected it.

The NBA actually has a rule on the books that says excessive flopping, called 'embellishment,' is a foul. LeBitch is the last player, actually, to be called for it.

That was YEARS ago. The fact that the commissioner thinks LeBitch is a god and wants to have his baby, the rule has basically been removed from the book.

China FTW, baby.

This narrative that there is this huge revolutionary backlash in a dying dwindling party. There may be - and the door seems well and truly open to it - the only problem with that theory is - the party has been extreme all along, and it's not a revolution but a display.

The Democrats as constituted prior, have NOTHING to combat Trump's MAGA turn of the country. They tried. So they have gone down a very predictable route.

This blatant move toward full leftardism was foreseeable and predictable, when many others were thinking Dems would try to "tack to the center".

190 I believe this is the DNC's "answer" to MAGA. They need to show they aren't weak. They need to make Trump and his message seem like old and establishment and boring and them like fresh new change, when it is anything but that. When *he* is the one that busted the establishment. When they ARE the establishment, that is knocked but not dead.

Expect to be subjected to a ton of Candy Coated Communism this next couple years. That is what they will be selling and it will work a lot better than some here imagine.

I just hope Trump is around to take the air out of all of it. If I see what they are doing there is no doubt in my mind that he does. He will wait for his moment and defang it all.

The standard R's will be useless against these people. Because they don't understand what the Left is or how they fight. Or they're just complicit.

The family was given donations because online leftist idiots think it’s cool to throw money at ghetto rats.
The money was all wasted on booze and bling because the parents are ghetto rats.
Because there was no money left, a prominent Dallas attorney volunteered to do it for free, which meant that he thought that it would be great cheap advertising for him and his firm.
Since this attorney was only doing it for the publicity, he ran a “defense” designed to give him, personally, the most online interviews and media attention.

There was no big conspiracy needed - everyone who was supposed to be on Karmello’s side treated him like a disposable diaper for their own personal profit. And they’re still laughing about it.

If feasible, you could create a giant shield and reflect sunlight away from Venus...but cooling would still take a long, long time.

258 248 Problem with terraforming Mars is that there is a minimal magnetosphere. You'd have to dig underground to live unless you developed shielding from solar and cosmic radiation

Posted by: Smell the Glove at June 25, 2026 09:24 AM (aDqI/)

Yup. Basically nil magnetosphere, thin atmosphere (less than 1% of Earth's) that's leaking out into space...and Moons, one so close that one day it will crash into the surface of the planet (okay, that'll be millions of years yet)...
Next is the distance from Earth. It'd be a one-way trip for any vessel, with hopes that that vessel would survive the trip and re-entry into the Martian atmosphere.

261 244 233 Terraforming? As one of my college engineering profs told us, "You can't know anything about something until you put some numbers on it."

How much energy input would be needed to make the Mars or Venus atmosphere habitable for humans? Then, how many 500 GWe fusion reactors are needed to supply that electrical energy, over T time? Finally, what is the cost of those fusion reactors?

Posted by: Gref at June 25, 2026 09:16 AM (5rh/l)

If feasible, you could create a giant shield and reflect sunlight away from Venus...but cooling would still take a long, long time.
Same for Mars, in that you could create reflectors to increase insolation to the planet, but the cost would be huge, and with a thin atmosphere, not much to hold the heat in...

Gajillions of tons of oxygen will need to be added to the Martian atmosphere to make it life-sustaining for humans. Where does it come from? The poles? How much O2 is in the polar ice?

The student must also make an estimate of how much iron on the surface has not been fully oxidized. Add the iron oxidation O2 amount to the breathable amount needed.

She does have an enforcer on her team named Sophie Cunningham and the amusing part is Sophie is a beautiful woman - not at all how you would expect an enforcer to look especially in the WNBA. I suspect if Caitlan had her looks she'd been in every ad for women's stuff in America.

Traditionally societies put a lot of effort around regulating sex and pointing it in specific ways. This tells you it is something societies that do regulate sex get a positive outcome from it. The solutions are different from modern Christian monogamy to Islamic warfare for sex slaves but the fact all these societies see it as something important is a tell.

>New3lv: Mamdani-backed House candidate's deleted posts called for abolishing police, borders, The National News Desk, Tue, June 2, 2026

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate whom New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed, deleted a previous Twitter account in which she posted calls for abolishing police, borders, and prisons, in addition to seizing private property, nationalizing major industries, and claiming Israel doesn't exist.

Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a New York City public defender’s office and a doctoral student, is challenging Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the June 23 primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, CNN reported Monday.

The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine saved more than 3,600 tweets from Avila Chevalier’s account between 2018–2022, but it’s unclear when the account was deleted.

(Much more followed. Reading ALL suggested.)

But why is it necessary for Carville to isolate one comment about race reportedly made by Chevalier in the past?

As Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemns “Haitian” being used as a slur, an Upper Manhattan race exposes old racial tensions rooted in Hispaniola, the island Dominicans and Haitians share. Published June 23, 2026

Overview:
A heated congressional race in New York is surfacing long-standing anti-Haitian and anti-Black tensions in some Dominican spaces after a candidate’s identity became a political attack line.

AND something else that erupted in the city yesterday:
👉NBC News, NYC coffee shop tells Rep. Dan Goldman he’s not welcome over his pro-Israel views
Goldman told NBC News he was shocked by the coffee shop’s post on social media “because the interaction in the shop could not have been nicer.”

Can you imagine?!!

Carville doesn't give a rat's a** Darializa Avila Chevalier doesn't like White women with Black men, probably the least troublesome of her alleged comments.

He cares about putting 25 new US Reps into the House and that Hakeem Jeffries isn't damaged.

The War Room is redirecting the new breed & press at MAGA for the win. Period.

280 Also above, "...now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups.’

Grand Theft Auto VI will come in an empty box and cost $80. (The Verge)

They promised a physical edition. Technically they didn't promise to put anything in it.

None of this came to pass, and considering the train wrecks they made of everything they did acquire during Bob Iger's tenure, we can be glad of that.

Microsoft recently announced Majorana 2, a major breakthrough in quantum computing. A new paper in Nature says not so fast, and maybe not at all.
The memory crunch is paying off for this US company. (Tech Crunch)

Spoiler: It's Micron, the only major US player in the memory space. I was hoping for some story about a plucky startup recycling e-waste into working components or, well, literally anything else. I am disappoint.

If Apple wants to keep its old margins you could end up paying $200 per GB.
The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is a new small Android tablet. (Notebook Check)

I'm a big fan of small Android tablets, but I just got one today - on top of the one I already have, and the other one I have that sucks so I never use it - so I don't need to care for five years of so.

The inspection revealed it would need close to $30K of work (termite damage to the garage, electrics, and to replace a 35-year-old A/C). So I passed. Another, more recently, checked all my boxes, but was within a block of a low-income and Section 8 development. Pass again.

I remain hopeful and check Realtor every day!

51 Someone here suggested that more properties may be available in fall and winter, because families buy less often then -- they don't want to disrupt the kids' schooling -- and I'd have less competition for a property that I like.

I'm not sure it works like that. People also wait to list their homes until spring, to maximize the likelihood of competing buyers bidding it up. So there's just less activity in the off seasons, fewer lookers and fewer properties both.

I want someplace with four seasons -- a shorter summer anyway; if I have that I can handle some humidity. Last year I visited Evansville, the big town south of TH, and liked it and the people. But it was too busy for me.

Giraffe News

Any Morons in Hill Country missing a giraffe?

A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country, and her owners are asking for the public's help to bring her home.
The Real County Animal Rescue-Shelter posted on social media Monday that Cedar Hollow Ranch is searching for "Gracie," a missing giraffe last seen west of Leakey.
According to the post, Gracie has rounded ears and was recently spotted on a game camera in the area. Her owner is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Gracie's capture and safe return.

Is it really that difficult to spot a giraffe? They're tall and don't look like anything else. Are there herds of giraffe in Texas and this one blends in? Maybe Texas giraffes are more skilled in the art of camouflage than the average giraffe.

What is going on in your life that makes you think "The one thing that would make my earthly existence more complete is a bag of glow in the dark celery?" Glow in the dark celery (not that there's anything wrong with that)?

We rarely describe our products as essential or practical, but this Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery is both! You get eight stalks of 1-1/4" tall, soft vinyl celery. During the day, you'll enjoy the reminder of celery superiority, but at night, this celery really shines. It glows in the dark! And, just for clarity's sake, the celery "stalk" officially refers to the whole bunch of celery, each piece you pull off is referred to as a celery rib.

What a country!

Fine arts

I know what you're thinking. "I like Rammstein, but the singer yells at me in German and shoots fire everywhere. I also like symphonies, but most symphony music is boring. Is there a best of both worlds solution?" Of course!

Similar for Iron Maiden here. Enjoy while eating your Triscuits.

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is Matt and his channel called Diesel Creek. Matt rescues heavy equipment - like bulldozers. He does a little restoration work and likes haunting the local auction for rescue projects, but his draw is bringing heavy equipment back to life that hasn't run for a long time. His channel has over a million subscribers.

I know what you're thinking. Do people really watch an 88 minute video of two friends trying to get a 1967 CAT D8 bulldozer running that has been sitting long enough to have trees growing through and around its parts? Yes. 5.1 million views.

His videos are good examples of story telling. He has technical knowledge and ability to explain things, but his charm is mostly a guy that likes to play with big toys and can tell stories about his projects. No artificial drama. No highly polished graphics or editing. No clickbait.

YouTube has more channels dedicated to heavy machinery rescue projects than you would think. The data doesn't lie - there is a big audience. What a country!

38 I'm sorry to say that I know what some faggoty men (or Democrat Congressmen or Miss Lindsay) will do with the Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery. It will show up on CT scans and be an accident.

Working for 5yrs in an ED/Trauma unit made me think this way.

I am enjoying so much the UK and Europeans loving the USA and saying basically fake news told them not to love us, our food, our hospitality and our college stadiums. Some don't want to leave. I don't watch the games I watch the fan's youtubes.

I think we should have a revolving deportation turnstile and allow good people who will love America in for every barbarian we ship off to El Salvador or wherever they came from.

46 "A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country…"

Just a short hop to Oklahoma. We were on the watch.

Wild animal preserves and such like do leak critters now and then. Kangaroos. Tigers. Always amusing, in a "hope they don't eat me" value of amusing.

One of my favorite stories was a few years ago, an older Oklahoma feller is driving along at night on a rural road, when he suddenly shouts to his wife, "ELEPHANT!" I can imagine recognizing such an unexpected beast, even reacting in time not to hit it (as we're used to dodging deer or loose cattle or horses), but I think I'd need a several seconds of processing time to be able to verbally identify it.

"Looky that, honey! Don't that look like one o' them gee-raffs blocking the road…?" 💥crash!💥

52 T-Rex...I happen to like Eye of the Tiger and thank you for the music.

My husband and I have found the most horrible, idiotic, nauseating series to watch called Sweet Magnolias. It wins in all categories of very bad cinema. This should tell you how bad it is (even worse than Virgin River) for dialogue and acting and make up. We mock them and blow through the ghey parts that make us gag.

Because, you see, there is a gay couple, of course there is.Plus 3 married couples who always have problems and idiotic dialogue of "unpacking problems" or a tequila night where the women "pour it out." One woman, bless her, is the size of a tank. And their make up is not good at all. Have mercy!

Another woman has the teeth of a horse and a fake "refined" Southern drawl we mock a whole lot. She's probably our favorite and has about 5 hairstyles per show. She just got married and then sang to her groom at the reception to our glee.

My husband calls them the Fagnolias vs Magnolias. We are not even sure why we subject ourselves to this punishment, yet we do. It is very bad and if renewed I do believe it is a sign of end times.

64 I expect Trump to push and highlight a very big assistance effort for Venezuela due to the earthquake (and, looking at the structural damage, the after-shocks that will probably bring down still more buildings, though presumably already emptied of people). We are the biggest and best at disaster relief (a part of the former USAID - obviously one doing what the public thought it was doing - that few knew or know about).

Israel has one of the best search/rescue capabilities for earthquake situations (including canines). Expect them to be on the ground there quickly too.

Decent quake off Ifate prefecture in Tohoku, Japan (northern Honshu), but so far no damage or serious tsunami reports.

One British guy went to a Texas rodeo where cowboys were bucked off steers, then a steer's horn threw one guy several feet on his head.

The Brit guy said Americans are made different. That that would have stopped the rodeo and the ambulance would haul him off. He said instead a few boys grabbed him, sat him against the wall, and gave him a beer.

I had to laugh at what they think. Texas has made a huge impression on them in both diet and outrageous patriotism. Thanks, y'all.

86 >>I still choose earthquakes over tornadoes and hurricanes, both I have lived through. So far so good on the earthquakes, but you never know.

Haven't been in a tornado but hurricanes are fairly common around here. Fortunately, they usually have lost most of their power by the time the get to this area. Still, no joke.

Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if.

101 Problem with earthquakes is your home is probably now broken. It can fall down around your ears maybe not during the quake - probably not during the quake - but at any time over the next few weeks. You have to call in someone to fix all the cracks but that someone is likely working on important city buildings first.

******************

I have an unscientific theory of waiting after a big one somewhere, for a big one on the opposite side of the world. So far it holds true as the plates settle or whatnot.

The largest I've been in was a 6 at 7am when we were still in bed. Instead of staying in bed, on abdomens with pillows over our heads, we ran to the landing and watched the chandelier swing. Not good. I figure we'd be found two floors down in the basement like a couple after Pompeii.

My first, in college, was over a 5 and I was in a basement apt alone. In the kitchen I felt like I was on a ship and thought, "This is weird, I have had no beers to get the spins." Noted the electric clock cord swaying. The house was 100yrs old and I heard walls creaking.

With every earthquake there is a boom before you feel it. Then a bit of sort of vertigo.

Called my friend who verified an earthquake and neither of us knew what to do, being from MS. At the time you were supposed to stand in a doorway, which I think is old news now.

We evacuated six times in 20yrs from hurricanes on the Atlantic. Barrier island. If hit "just right" the Intercoastal and Atlantic would meet over our house. I'm a great swimmer but we decided we did not want to drown in our own home. It gets old to evacuate and in 2005 we did 3 times in about six weeks. Got hit twice by a CAT 3 with little damage. The house was built like a bunker but we took no chances: contractor said it could withstand a tornado with rebar in concrete block every few feet, hurricane code roof, metal shades on every door and window, etc.

Tornadoes, though. Oh, boy. I HATE them. Waiting to basically die if you don't have a shelter. Two years ago one missed us visiting my mother in MS by about 10miles as we watched on radar at night. I hate tornadoes.

Earthquakes? I guess if that's how I go it's better than watching your death on radar.

167 That combine thread is going to be a sad one. Every modern one is the size of my field. They'd already started, 50 years ago, having demolition derbies in Iowa and Nebraska with the 'normal' ones I would see working in the fields when I was young. Now, the spare parts from those are about used up, and quite a few people are hobby-farming on plots just the right size for them.

The pony motor starters on Cats had megaphones instead of mufflers; on a cold morning you could hear them yowl from a mile away, and they had to warm up and really scream to turn all that mass over. The Sixty models started another way: there was a deep hole in the flywheel, exposed of course, into which you fitted a steel bar about six feet long. Walk her up onto top dead center, preheat the glow plugs, prime, and yank that sucker for all you're worth. If it fired, it flung the bar out, sometimes 20, 30 feet away. Heads up. And beller, O Jesus.

Once you had one running, you did not shut it down.

About 100 yards away. The other was in Nebraska. I knew it was close, couldn't see it, so pulled over and hoped it didn't land on me. It didn't.

Haven't felt many in our current location. DH got the alert for the (supposed) 6.0 quake that was about 130 miles north of us. Turned out to be a 5.6 which is slightly strong but not considered to be "severe" by our standards. They need to tune that alert system, which is always Crying Wolf. It was so far away we didn't even feel it. For judgement purposes, a quake has to be at least a 4.0 to be positively felt and make any sort of impression.

242 I think men are calmer in big situation chaos. They can focus and take emotion out of the picture and make things happen. Things that may not be peaceful.

Women protect. And soothe and nurture.
Posted by: nurse ratched. at June 25, 2026 12:12 AM (A5RD0)

There is so much variation in people; I was one who always felt calmer in a dangerous emergency situations; it was a comfort to have no doubts, to know exactly what to because it was an imperative.

But I have been around men who were smart, seemed like any other; but when an emergency strikes they fall to pieces and can do nothing.

I’m reminded of the report of General Rosecrans after the collapse of his army at Chickamauga; an observer reporting to Lincoln that as the reports of the disaster came in, “the General began to wander about like a duck that had been hit upon the head.”

My grandmother was knocked out of bed at the rest home due to the Easter quake of 2010. She was recovering from a fall that shattered vertebrae in her spine from a fall (she didn't like how my uncle, her son, cleaned the floor, so at 95 she decided she'd do it herself and slipped and fell), just to get tossed out of bed by a quake. She survived, hit her 96th birthday, then passed in September of that year...

DH slept right through the strong 2014 South Napa quake (6.0); I was hundreds of miles north in Eureka at the time. He thought the cat jumped on him and went right back to sleep. Had to do a lot of clean-up at my mother's house after that one; Mom's cupboards were affixed to the east-west running walls of the kitchen. As the shaking ran strongly north-south, every glass in her house broke as they were flung out of the cupboards. There was shattered glass everywhere. The MIL's cupboards were on east-west walls and she had one glass crack when it tipped over, but nothing leapt out of her cabinets. Her hot water tank tipped and had to be replaced, though.

Escaped with just a few hairline cracks in the walls when the house settled days later.

Almost as one, everyone slowed down and pulled over to the side of the freeway or road, thinking they had a flat tire. As soon as they saw the light standards swaying, they knew it was an earthquake. Back then, we'd turn the radio on and tune into the local talk show. People would call in and describe what they felt; base don that, we'd figure out where the epicenter was and get an idea of the magnitude. That was pre-USGA online earthquake map.

306 Orson, Bukele of El Salvador has already publicly announced resources standing by to go help. I am sure as you say that others will follow. Including Mexico, which has some substantial earthquake response resources, though is not in the political category you mentioned.

Note that the US usually responds to humanitarian disasters regardless of the political situation. And in most cases provides the core logistical support making many operations possible. But shhhhh - don't tell the world, or the many many ignorant dumb Americans who wallow in their make-believe world of resentment.

307 "Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if."

@JackStraw: moving here from New England, the earthquake thing was the most daunting. In the 18 years I've been here, there have been three worth remembering. The rest were no worse than the streetcars rumbling right by my house. I get less worked up over earthquakes than I do the tsunami warnings, since I live four blocks from the beach.

309 O thought for sure our house was going to pull apart during Loma Prieta. Looking into the corner of the living room, the walls appeared to scissor out and then back, repeatedly. Moving to the front door to stand braced in the doorway, had to stick out a foot to keep the heavy door from slamming on me as I watched the road outside undulate like a heavy ocean swell. Never saw that before and would prefer not to again; I actually felt seasick from the rolling ground motion. Yep, that was the first time I was ever scared in an earthquake; normally I get excited because I'm quite the geology fan.

322 @jim (in Kalifornia) we had a shallow earthquake here in December 2024, where the epicenter was about 1 mile off Ocean Beach here in SF. A tsunami warning was called, as it was during a King tide phase and a surge was predicted.

By the time he got to me, the warning was called off, with no issues. I was kinda cheesed, but glad at the same time.

It's about structural resonances, building quality, and building foundation. Mexico City, 1985, more than 10K died from a quake hundreds of miles away near Acapulco. Why? Foundation. The city was built upon a dried lake bed, so when the quake hit, the entire area continued to shake like a bowl of jello, making the shaking worse and longer lasting.

I've been through a few quakes! Last one I remember was the Easter one. Rumble-rumble, shakety-shake, we all stepped out of the house to avoid collapsing beams or whatever the quake might do. I was in another late-night quake where it was just me and the dog in the house. I called her but she wouldn't come. I was afraid something had fallen on her, but she shuffled out of somewhere and shuffled back. Never noticed a thing.

329 🌪️We're used to twisters here in Oklahoma. I've been as close as two blocks from a serious one. Yes, sounded like a freight train going over the house. Serious damage in the area, one death.

Earthquakes in recent years have been a surprise. The bedrock we sit on means the long waves travel harder, farther. That's why that 1800s Madrid quake rang church bells in Philly. If it happened today, the lake shore land in Chicago would liquify and lots of buildings would be ruined.

🪇I've felt three quakes. That five-point-something several years ago was centered hundreds of miles away and shook our concrete house. Sounded like a semi was parked out front. I jumped out of bed to see what was going on before I realized what it was. A friend's house in Tulsa had to be re-set on its foundation. For a mere 5.x. Something my dear late grandmother in California would have slept through.

The folks who lived in Santa Clarita told me what it was like. Early in the morning, and they were awakened by violent shaking. She got literally thrown out of the bed onto the floor, onto her hands and knees, and bounced up and down. She said it was like being a cracker in a box that someone was violently shaking. The cats disappeared for a few days before they ventured out from wherever they'd hunkered down.

Everything fragile broken, including some china pieces I'd asked for a few years before. She was really sorry she hadn't given them to me when she swept up the shards.

I was sitting at the computer and it felt like my chair was getting ready to break. It just had a weird left to right wobble all of a sudden. Then I heard a rumble and saw the glass in the slider that went out to the patio starting to shake a little bit. Then it hit me, damn its an actual earth quake. It was nothing big, but the first thing I thought of was holy shit, a big earthquake must be frigging brutal.

Well, in Kalifornia, they do have an earthquake warning system that'll send a text to your cell phone. Doesn't help if you're within a few seconds of the epicenter, but if you're 30 seconds or so, can give you enough time to get into a better place. Last time we had a quake, it went off...20 seconds after the quake finished. LOL

358 I don't get alerts on my phone. I prefer it that way. There are roughly two kinds of quakes (that I've felt). First is the sharp, quick "BANG". Over before you know it. Then there's the kind that begins with a rumble and it can get loud. When you've been in a few, later you get to a point (hyperawareness) where you wonder if it will keep going. It's really about a second but your brain is processing really fast, and then it ends.

2010 Easter quake was a 7.2 that lasted for 90 seconds...Yes, we wondered when it would end. I knew it was a big one given how long it lasted (which is a pretty good metric; the longer it lasts, the longer length of a fault has ripped, the bigger the released energy). YMMV, depending on the type of quake (thrust vs strike-slip), type of material the quake's going through (West coast is broken plate, so seismisms lose strength over distance faster than east coast, with a more continuous plate), and distance from the hypocenter of the quake (deep quakes vs shallow ones).

360 I'd just gotten home from work when the Loma Prieta hit. Nobody else was home (except my old cat, who slept through it) and all was pretty quiet, except for this rumble in the distance. Freeways all around us, so I paid no mind until-- it kept getting louder, and louder...

Ba-boom boom, like a freight train way in the distance, ba-boom BOOM, BABOOMBOOM!!! And wham! the whole building jumped, as if it was on a towel that was getting snapped in the breeze. Creak and groan from the walls and ceiling, and stuff shaking/rattling off the shelves in living room.

And then the power went out. It was still daylight, no not a huge deal. Had a battery operated radio, so tuned in & heard about the freeway collapse. Ugh. MIL drove that frequently, so was worried she may have been squished. She was OK, though.

364 There were aftershocks every 10-15 minutes afterward. I sat in the kitchen, alone, for about 2 hours before MIL or XH got home... power on our block was restored by then, but about half the Bay was still out.

mother

Everyone brought their pets. Total:
7 dogs
6 cats

We listened to KOGO radio nonstop. My SIL's place burned.

374 RE: the Cedar fire: Wife was pregnant with older son at the time, and we went outside that Sunday morning for a walk when we noticed how everything to the east had an orange glow...walked back inside the house and turned on the TV to find out fires were raging out in the East part of the county.

I had friends living in Scripps Ranch; their previous home burned up with about another 400 homes around it. What was strange was how you'd have houses burned to the ground, yet right next door another house was untouched...

378 During the evacuation for the Paradise Fire my wife's adopt in-laws from Berry Creek evacuated to my house. This is the mom of the family that adopted her and her husband.
At the same time I had the birth in-laws from over the pond here too. Their "Holiday". Long story.
I had two MiL's trying to out mil each other for two weeks. 5 dogs. 3 cats. 6 of us in a 1700 sqft house.
MiL's arguing over what and who is going to do dinner.
I couldn't work enough. I thought everybody was going to kill each other. I was close.

Now they all look back on it with some weird nostalgia.
Then the next year MiL in Cali lost the whole shebang in the camp fire. I lost everything that made my acre up there worth having. Basically paid property tax for 16 years and sold it back to the dude I bought it off for what I paid for it. Not a tree on it now. View of the burned mountains is just depressing.

Wildfires suck.

I guess it is a little bit silly, but until the quake goes on for at least a full minute, I can't be bothered to "duck and cover." The one in 1964 lasted over five minutes. That was a beast. The one a few years ago, I think it ended up at 7.3 or so, went on for over a minute, so yeah, lights went out, got under the desk, all that jazz.

406 JQ, I'm reminded of a relative of mine from my Dad's side...married for years to his first wife in Illinois, then decided to marry another woman in Kentucky a decade later while still married to wife #1, claiming he was divorced (I guess to explain having to go back to Illinois--to see the kids). Fast forward a decade, and wife #1 divorces him for "cruelty" (ironically, headline talks about a man getting a divorce because of bigamy...but it wasn't about him). Wife #2 marries another man 2 months later. Fast forward a couple of months, and he marries a 3rd time in Oakland, CA, claiming to be a widow. A year later, another divorce. 4th wife he meets near LA, marries in Las Vegas less than a decade after marriage #3. Dunno how or when that ended, but he eventually up overdosing on sleeping pills in a motel room in Florida at the age of 60.

21 When I was a little girl, we had a Mallard drake and a dog who were best friends. They chased each other around the yard. Then one day, the duck flew away and the dog disappeared soon after. My uncle was the dog catcher in my little hometown, though, and he found me the best dog, a beagle my mom named Sam. Once, when I was home alone, someone opened the screen door. She chased him out of the yard and climbed the fence right on his ass, baying all the way. She knew all my secrets and never told a soul. Everyone should know the love of a good dog.

The backyard was family territory. If you came out of the house you were welcome. If you came in any other way, you were a chew toy. She bit my grandpa when he came through the back gate while helping my dad work on the fence. Daddy told him he'd have to go in the house and then come back out. I had to walk him to the door.

66 I'm watching "Agatha Christie's Poirot" and came to a realization.

It sucks being a famous detective because you never really get a break.

You go on a cruise to get away from it all and someone dies under mysterious circumstances.

You go out to the country to celebrate Christmas and your host keels over and has his prize gems stolen.

You go down to the corner store to get a newspaper and three people are dead in your neighborhood before you get home.

If you are in Wisconsin for any reason, and if you have a hankering for real ice cream, go to the Sassy Cow Creamery and collect any and all flavors. If you are polite, you can go out back and visit the baby cows. They will suck on your fingers and generally look cute.

Whoa! Talk about a severely-worded statement:

Now THAT is the art of shame. Well deserved and probably effective.

122 DOYLESTOWN, PA — A Philadelphia woman has been sentenced for the murder of a Wrightstown Township man who authorities said she stabbed to death because he woke her up from her sleep while she was staying with him in October 2023

... A former cellmate of Macklin at the Bucks County Correctional Facility testified that Macklin admitted to killing MacFarland simply because he woke her up to ask for help finding his shoe.

7% of the eligible voters in NYC voted. With turnout like that, they don't even need to cheat.
Posted by: fd

I was wondering what the turnout was, expected it to be low, and... really? Not 17? SEVEN PERCENT? That's almost statistically impossible. Five percent is where you hit statistical significance. Realistically, you should get 5% turnout without any votes even being cast.

Well, what can one say, except the DSA may have a verrry savvy strategy indeed, which is to gain power in places with a huge political/economic/social/cultural profile that grossly overshadows what turns out to be a very small citizens' collective voice.

Quick Hits

Karmelo Anthony has a "dream team" of race hustler lawyers fighting for his right to murder white people when he feels like it.

A team of elite civil rights attorneys announced they will represent Karmelo Anthony in the appeal of his murder conviction for fatally stabbing fellow high school athlete Austin Metcalf.
Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe, veteran appellate attorney Russell Wilson, civil rights lawyer Brooke Cluse from Ben Crump Law, and others have joined forces in an effort to overturn Anthony's conviction and 35-year prison sentence, CBS News reported.
They will conduct an independent review of the trial to determine whether any errors occurred during the trial in their pursuit of an appeal, the lawyers said in their announcement on Monday.

Dan Goldman losing is truly hilarious because he has one of the most liberal voting records in Congress and is unapologetic about being willing to tell any incendiary lie about Republicans, but refused to pledge allegiance to third-world terrorists on the other side of the planet and was, therefore, not radical enough for the new Democrat base.

Also losing last night: Jack "Kennedy" Schlossberg, who I would call a nepo baby but don't you need an actual job to be a nepo baby? All this fag does is troll people online and appear on leftwing chat shows to embarrass his family. He's like an even less-accomplished Ron Reagan Jr.

This depends on where you live and how long you have been at your job, if you are and employee or contractor. FMLA covers mental health issues, some states require paid leave. Some companies, if offered, would allow STD, and then LTD to cover it. But you could not be fired for this leave if you qualified for FMLA or the various and sundry state leaves.

This is how the lawyer totally fucked up the defense: Karmello said in the first minutes, "well he's still alive". He thought he had stabbed him, didn't think he had killed him.
Significance - this opens up the possibility of a manslaughter plea. He had no intent to kill, it just happened, that's often the case with manslaughter. A plea under manslaughter could have gotten a sentence of 10 years, parole after 5 for good behavior. Karmello could still have had most of his 20's as a free man.

This attorney blew that off. Karmello got 35 years due to the attorney's self serving incompetence. "Tough luck, Kid!"

A lot of people are unaware of how Joe Kennedy built the family fortune. They know that he bootlegged Irish Whiskey into the US during the depression; what they don't know is that he paid for it by sending cargo ships full of tommy guns, rifles, and other small arms to the IRA in Ireland; in return they would fill his ships with all the Irish Whiskey they could carry for the return trip. Churchill knew this, which is why he hated Kennedy. Churchill knew that he was personally responsible for the murders of hundreds of British officials and servicemen in Ireland.

100 LOL, she returned the can and the sanitation department has a sense of humor:

The bonehead Knicks fan who went viral for stealing a team-theme city trash can has returned the stolen goods — and was slapped with $175 in fines for the dirty deed.

“Home sweet home,” the sanitation department wrote on X next to a pic of the returned basket. “Welcome back! We missed you!”

The orange and blue receptacle was pilfered after an “incredibly stupid” fan – identified by sources as recently-axed JPMorgan Chase exec Angie Baez – dumped the trash onto Broadway and walked off with the city-owned receptacle, department officials told The Post.

The Democrat government gives up the case and agrees to a "consent decree" resolving the issue -- and this resolution has the force of law, despite no legislature having ever voted for it.

Well, two can play at that game. Steven Miller's organization America First Legal joined with Texas to sue the DOJ over a Biden-era policy allowing immigration judges to put immigration cases on "administrative pause," forever. Biden allowed judges who would otherwise be required to deport illegal aliens to instead "pause" the case against them, effectively granting them amnesty (and even the "right to work").

Technically, they're still illegal aliens in the middle of deportation proceedings but the reality is that those proceedings are now "paused," forever. So every illegal alien getting his deportation "paused" is effectively granted backdoor amnesty that Congress never even contemplated, let alone voted to make law.

Texas and Steven Miller sued the DOJ over this blatant end-run around the actual law of the land and the DOJ said "Fair" and signed a consent decree admitting this was always illegal and now is forbidden.

Judge blocks Biden-era immigration rule hours after Texas AG and Stephen Miller's group sued DOJ

On Monday, Ken Paxton's office asked the judge to block the rule, a request the federal agency then agreed with. The suit echoes a similar move in 2025 that killed a 24-year-old state tuition law.

A federal judge in Texas blocked a Biden administration rule on Monday that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely close a deportation case against immigrants on the same day Texas sued to stop the rule.
The rule, which was adopted in 2024, allowed immigration judges to close a deportation case after hearing arguments from the federal government and the immigrant in deportation proceedings, especially if the person could qualify for a benefit that allows them to stay in the country legally.
But on Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas in Wichita Falls to block the rule with U.S. Judge Reed O'Connor, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush.
The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice was also co-filed by America First Legal Foundation, an organization founded by Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to President Trump who has focused on ways to limit both legal and illegal immigration to the country. America First Legal Foundation also previously filed various lawsuits representing Paxton against the Biden administration's immigration policies, which helped derail President Biden's immigration agenda in his lone term.
In this latest complaint, Paxton's office said in the 43-page lawsuit that the Biden-era rule "effectively grant(s) indefinite amnesty to aliens illegally present in this country."
Lawsuits usually take several months to years to settle, but in this case O'Connor ruled late on Monday in favor of Texas after the Department of Justice filed its response saying it agreed with Paxton's office.

Before this lawless action by Biden, 130,000 cases were paused. After Biden gave his leftwing immigration judges permission to dole out personalized amnesty, the number of "paused" cases "skyrocketed" (as the judgment says) to 1.08 million. And then, a year later, it doubled again to 2.2 million.

Considering that almost everything done to secure the border during Trump’s presidency has been executive action that can be reversed, and Democrats are becoming the party of open borders & no immigration enforcement, we may see another border crisis if Dems take back the WH in… https://t.co/UFsflcIZoo

Lefty judges knew they couldn’t rule that this criminal illegal with three rape convictions could stay in the country, so they put the case on pause.

28 I believe the whole trick of consent decrees is that you have to get them reversed by the same judge, or at least the same district court. So in Trump I there was some dumb decree about illegals who were minors that Clinton had agreed to in a CA district, and from the early 1980s until earlier this decade a consent decree in NJ stopped Republicans NATIONWIDE having any kind of surveillance at polling places.

And the federal courts in TX are very, very right leaning. It and states like it are a rare example of the blue slip policy working in our favor.

Well at a certain point people have to enforce laws themselves if no one else will. For example, an illegal immigrant has literally no rights whatsoever. There are animals that are protected species by law who have more rights.

People in a previous thread noted that the 14th Amendment might not have been constitutionally ratified. Well, the Radical Republicans just did it and no one stopped them. Doomer conservatives love to say this about the left, but it can work both ways. The Sons of Liberty weren't worried about legal niceties before they tarred and feathered people or even burned a revenue cutter.

My prediction is that SCOTUS will find that there is nothing in the Constitution mandating birthright citizenship; BUT that it is the power and the duty of Congress to clarify and define this. They will hold that the Executive does not have the constitutional authority to act on his own, even when Congress fails to act.

They will hold that the Executive does not have the constitutional authority to act on his own, even when Congress fails to act.

Feds Announce Arrests of 455 Defendants Responsible for $6.5 Billion in Fraud Looted from the American People

Nick shirley
@nickshirleyy
Jun 23
"The fraud is not real"
Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed
*silent*
Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening?
EXPOSE IT ALL

Think of how many trillions have been stolen -- or allowed to be pilfered by Democrats.

The Justice Department:

National Health Care Fraud Takedown Results in 455 Defendants Charged in Connection with Over $6.5 Billion in Alleged Fraud

The Justice Department today announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in charges against 455 defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in health care fraud and opioid abuse schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims and significant patient harm, including death.
Today's Takedown represents a new era in federal, state, and international cooperation to combat health care fraud: cases in 56 federal districts and 45 U.S. states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participating, the most in Department history.
In addition, unprecedented international cooperation over the two-week Takedown resulted in the apprehension and return to the United States of the following health care fraudsters: one defendant in Kyrenia in connection with an over $3.7 billion scheme; two defendants in Estonia in connection with a previously charged $10.6 billion scheme; and, in the Philippines, one of FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters in connection with a previously-charged $1.2 billion telemedicine fraud scheme.
...
Today's coordinated enforcement action involves a whole-of-government approach, including:
* Actions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to suspend 1,079 providers and revoke billing privileges for 1,403 providers.
* 48 Civil Monetary Payment settlements amounting to over $73 million, over 1,400 provider exclusions, and 25 actions by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General ("HHS-OIG") under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law seeking more than $10 billion in payments to the Medicare Trust Fund from payments that CMS caught and suspended before the funds were paid to the fraudulent providers.
* Civil charges against 13 defendants for $14.8 million in health care fraud schemes, as well as civil settlements with 31 defendants totaling $23 million.
* 928 administrative cases by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seeking the revocation of authority to handle and/or prescribe controlled substances since October 1, 2025.

Fake wound graft treatments were a big source of fraud:

Charges were filed against 11 defendants, including a company executive and eight medical professionals, across six districts in connection with billions of dollars in fraudulent claims for amniotic wound allografts. In the District of Arizona, the Vice President of Sales for a company that sold allografts was charged in a nationwide illegal kickback and health care fraud scheme. From approximately December 2021 through June 2024, providers billed Medicare over $4 billion for this company's allografts, resulting in over $2 billion in payments. This significant spike in allograft billings was alleged to have been driven not by medical necessity, but by a kickback scheme that generated substantial profit margins and lavish lifestyles for marketers and providers who participated. The company did not manufacture allografts and instead acquired allografts from tissue banks and relabeled them for sale at a 2,000% mark-up, charging up to $1,450 per square centimeter. The defendant is alleged to have paid illegal kickbacks of approximately 40% of that amount, allowing marketers and medical providers to pocket approximately $500-600 per square centimeter.

The hive of fake hospices in California were raided:

In the Central District of California, charges were brought against a hospice owner and two marketers for a $27.7 million Medicare fraud scheme in which the hospice owner allegedly tried to avoid detection through a scheme to purchase information of the recently deceased from a funeral home employee. The defendant was allegedly carrying out a hospice fraud scheme in which he fraudulently enrolled patients who were not terminally ill.
Concerned that Medicare and law enforcement used data analytics to monitor the percentage of patients discharged from hospice alive (an indicator of fraud), the hospice owner allegedly paid illegal kickbacks of $1,000 to $3,000 per person to a funeral home employee in exchange for deceased Medicare beneficiaries' information. The defendant then allegedly billed Medicare for a few days of hospice services for these recently-deceased individuals who hadn't received hospice care and created fake, back-dated medical records claiming that the beneficiaries had been seen by a physician, thereby allegedly seeking to deceive Medicare by reducing his outlier data metrics.

And of course the fake "adult day care" scam:

In the Eastern District of New York, charges were brought against eight defendants for their role in a $38 million fraud on New York Medicaid for social adult day care services that were medically unnecessary, procured by kickbacks to marketers and beneficiaries, and never provided. Although the permitted occupancy of the social adult day cares (shown below) was only 30 people, the defendants fraudulently submitted claims for services provided to hundreds of beneficiaries per day.

One of Trump's bugaboos is opioid distribution. 28 licensed medical professionals, mostly doctors, were charged in illegally writing opioid prescriptions.

...
The defendants allegedly operated a voicemail refill line that allowed patients to request and receive refills of Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions--though some patients who used the refill line to obtain Schedule II controlled substances from the defendants suffered drug overdoses and died, the defendants continued to operate the refill line to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances without interacting with patients.

F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli
@USAttyEssayli
Today, under the leadership of @VP Vance and @DAGToddBlanche, we are announcing the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown involving 455 defendants charged in connection with $6.5+ BILLION in alleged fraud.
One person arrested by @FBILosAngeles in the Central District of California was Jeannie Choi, 57, of Torrance.
She is charged along with two other defendants--Oren David Shachar, 59, of Van Nuys, and Abraham Shin, 66, of Corona--with a hospice fraud scheme that caused Medicare to pay nearly $27 million in fraudulent claims.
Shachar allegedly exploited deceased Medicare beneficiaries by collecting their personal health data and medical records through meetings with surviving relatives. He then directed staff to use those identities to create false, backdated hospice records claiming evaluations and terminal certifications that never occurred.
Shachar paid Choi and Shin between $1,000 and $3,000 for each deceased beneficiary fraudulently enrolled in hospice care.
Shachar and Shin have pleaded not guilty and have a trial scheduled for August 11. Choi is expected to make her initial appearance and be arraigned today in Los Angeles federal court.
Public health programs intended to help the elderly and sick are being undermined by fraudsters, threatening the financial stability of these programs for all Americans. We are committed to rooting out the rampant fraud that has plagued our institutions for too long.

It's not just medical fraud -- the Trump Administration just halted $200 million in fake student aid fraud.

Trump admin requiring gov issued ID to apply for federal student aid saved $200 million in fraud in 2 months

Officials say the real-time screening built into the FAFSA form stops fraudsters before money goes out the door

EXCLUSIVE -- The Department of Education (ED) claims it has blocked nearly $200 million from falling into the hands of fraudsters since launching a strict new identity-verification mandate on April 27.
The nationwide fraud prevention effort requires high-risk applicants to present government-issued identification when applying for federal student aid.
"Since we launched it, we've prevented nearly $200 million from falling into the hands of fraudsters," James Bergeron, Deputy Under Secretary of Education and Acting Federal Student Aid Chief Operating Officer, told Fox News Digital. "Our new fraud detection tool is at the FAFSA [Free Application for Federal Student Aid] form level. It stops fraud at the start of the process before the money goes out the door, which is a big priority for the task force."
The department integrated the real-time, risk-based identity screening directly into the online FAFSA application system this spring.
"Effective immediately, fraud detection is built directly into the FAFSA itself, with every applicant evaluated in real-time using risk-based identity screening," the department previously announced. "Applicants who display a certain level of fraud risk will now be required to present government-issued identification before accessing federal student aid funds such as Pell Grants and federal student loans."
Department officials estimate the tool will save taxpayers over $1 billion during the current FAFSA cycle.
According to the department, the strict security posture is a necessary correction to the COVID-19 pandemic era, when the Biden-Harris administration rolled back key verification safeguards. The department claims those previous policies diverted resources away from fraud prevention and required less than 1% of students to verify their identity following their FAFSA submission.
The "enhanced fraud controls" are tailored to intercept sophisticated, modern scams, specifically blocking AI-generated bots and "ghost students"-- fraudulent identities engineered by bad actors to siphon taxpayer-funded loans.

7 The nice things about these sorts of cases is that the arrests lead to more arrests, since this sort of fraud (especially the ethnic varieties) is rarely a solitary venture. So you get suspects ratting other people out for a reduced sentence. The effect is exponential, much like the original fraud.

Well, that other side was using this type fraud to bundle money, move it overseas, launder it, and return a portion back to the DNC.

It's one of the reasons those three communists in NY won their primaries last night. The DNC is losing their funding. First USAID, then Act Blue comes underscrutiny. Act Blue takes bulk funding and then redistributes it to unknowing donators at an amount low enough not to require scrutiny. Now, the fraud aspect of their fundraising is under the microscope, so the DNC has lost it's major finance (the US Taxpayer)...and can't shovel money to their regular candidates like in the past. So, here come the Socialists.

This is a great read about the reflecting pool:
https://tinyurl.com/yzr6ffj3

Let’s talk reflecting pool. Warren G. Harding built it on swampland and the structure beneath it would have been fine - if it had been built on stable ground. The whole thing started sinking slowly.

Presidents all the way up through Carter kept trying to prop it up with little cement pours, and regularly draining and cleaning it. Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters.

Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure.

Clinton publicly acknowledged that the entire pool needed demolished and rebuilt, and that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to do it right.

and it continues...

"Fake wound graft treatments were a big source of fraud."
Inside a Kensington wound care clinic
Xylazine, which was never approved for human use, has wreaked havoc in Kensington. Amputations among opioid users have more than doubled. (Philadelphia Inquirer, LA Times)

Because many individuals in this community are experiencing homelessness or face stigma, they frequently avoid traditional emergency rooms. Grassroots, non-profit organizations provide vital street-level harm reduction, cleaning, and dressing to prevent infections from requiring surgical grafts or amputations. (Don't reduce Medicaid warn the harm reduction clinics and vans.)

Federal prosecutors have cracked down on massive healthcare fraud networks billing Medicare for medically unnecessary or outright fake skin substitute treatments. Bad-actor clinics and marketers target vulnerable populations to apply overpriced amniotic or bio-engineered skin substitutes to minor wounds, often billing the government tens of thousands of dollars per procedure.
(Arnold & Porter) Medicare Advantage Plans? Probably.

Nothing in those clinics and on the streets can be adequately tracked.

106 It's amazing how much Democrats have cost this country, not just in terms of enabling fraud and siphoning off money to their cronies, but more broadly in terms of stifling growth, regulating business to death, and dick-in-ass relationships with massive corporate interests for regulatory capture and enforcing actual oligopolies and oligopsonies. Republicans aren't innocent either, but it's truly breathtaking to see how much deliberate damage has been wrought by a relative handful of powerful people.

Charles Dickens wrote something to the effect that the worthiness of a society can be gauged by how well it takes care of its least fortunate. Of course in those days, charity was largely private.

Government money spent on the "less fortunate" seems to lead inevitably to corruption and fraud. Even if it were well-intentioned when it started, it evolves into this disaster.

It should be extremely difficult to defraud the system, but all these morons are showing it's easy. Looks like that easiness is built in, on purpose.

112 Federal prosecutors have cracked down on massive healthcare fraud networks billing Medicare for medically unnecessary or outright fake skin substitute treatments. Bad-actor clinics and marketers target vulnerable populations to apply overpriced amniotic or bio-engineered skin substitutes to minor wounds, often billing the government tens of thousands of dollars per procedure.
(Arnold & Porter) Medicare Advantage Plans? Probably.

Nothing in those clinics and on the streets can be adequately tracked.

During the covid madness there was a guy in collin county Texas that was killed in a motorcycle accident. The coroner did up the death certificate stating an accident was the cause of death.

The county went behind his back and amended the death certificate to say the guy died from covid so the hospital and the county could cash in on the cash that the government was handing out for covid deaths.

There is always massive fraud in any government program.

High-profile Hollywood celebrities have been swept up in a growing voter registration controversy in Los Angeles.

Hollywood stars including Jennifer Aniston, Jenna Dewan and Nicollette Sheridan were allegedly registered to vote using the address of a WeHo financial management office, rather than their homes.

According to the Daily Mail, 36 voters were linked to Suite 600 of a building on Sunset Boulevard that serves as the office of financial adviser Michael Ullman and his firm, Platinum Financial Management.

Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence Begins Mass-Firing Obama/Biden Holdovers and Hacks

During Trumo's first term, a friend of mine, Rich Higgins, wrote to Trump advising him to fire just about everyone in the Office of National Intelligence. Obama and then Biden had purged most good people from the organization and filled it with political hacks.

Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte, just took the long-awaited step of firing their asses.

ABC "News" is pissy, of course, because the Democrat way is to fill the bureaucracies with stone-cold Democrat/progressive partisans who shape the country's policies even when a Republican is nominally the president.

Trump's acting director of national intelligence begins firings at agency, sources say

Trump had previously called for the "needed downsizing of the office."

I don't know if the office really needs to be downsized. But I think it's easier just to say "we need to downsize" and then to fire all of the Obama hacks.

And then later, maybe, decide "Oh we need a few more people, we're going to hire some more people."

President Donald Trump's acting director of national intelligence has begun firing people at the agency, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with zero intelligence experience, took over the agency late last week and had promised to cut hundreds of jobs at ODNI once taking over.

Obama never held a real job before he became a state senator and the left insisted to us that he had all the experience he needed to be president.

It was not immediately clear how many jobs had already been affected, but sources told ABC News that the National Counterterrorism Center was expected to be hit hard.

Oh, John Brennan's old unit?

...
Trump, for his part, has made clear he wants Pulte to slash jobs at the agency.
Trump said earlier this month the size of ODNI has been "way too high for way too long" and told reporters he wouldn't mind it if cuts were made. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, Trump also said he wanted Pulte to "start the process" of firing ODNI personnel and cited his role as acting director as "less shackled," according to the paper.

John Thune knows better than to poke the bear again and supports the firings:

On the other hand, the egotistical Democrat recruited to be North Carolina's senator by Mitch McConnell is shrieking that all of his Obama/Biden frenz are out of jobs, saying Pullte is an "incompetent sycophant" and his firings will be "another stinking pile of dog shit."

Semi-related:

He lied to Congress in 2024. There is a path.

37 One thing I want to mention as someone who has been in public school teaching for over 20 years (happily un-unionized) is how lazy Democratic bureaucrats are. Most of you just see their handi-work when it goes viral (e.g. crazy teacher has an unhinged rant that a student films). However, with very few exception most of these careerist types phone everything in. They steal their curriculum materials from other teachers or just copy whatever is in the teacher's manual from their textbook. They can't answer questions because they don't understand the material. Sure, some of them get students to repeat nonsense back to them, but it's akin to that British teacher and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" getting kids to mindlessly recite the definition of an acre.

Another side to this laziness is that if you disrupt most of these people they will just slither away. Sure, they'll file a lawsuit if Soros Inc. does everything, but otherwise everything is just too much work. When my principal took over in 2013 he started bullying teachers to purge them in some kind of weird power play. Each teacher just gave up and left for another district until he came after me.

Fags, likewise, are all about envy. They want the respect that heterosexuals get for being normal, but they aren't willing to stop being fags to get it.

Transsexuals are all about envy. They don't want to be women, or men, or whatever they are, because they just don't seem to fit in as that person, but they have no idea what being the opposite sex really entails, so they become a stereotype, and eventually it drives them completely mad.

Feminists are all about envy. They want to be big, tough, ruthless, predacious men, which they believe men are even if men are not, but they aren't able to become that so they become bitchy, ugly and obnoxious instead.

Federal immigration law is pretty clear on who is and isn’t a citizen. If someone’s parents are not citizens and they just happen to drop a child here only some complete obfuscation of the law would judge that child a citizen. There are volumes of law defining the process to become a citizen. If Congress intended illegal immigrant children to automatically become citizens it would also be there. This examination process that deduces because it is not there, ergo Congress needs to write it in, as opposed to- if they wanted it they would have written it in is not just contra intellectual, it is contrary to how the Framers intended the constitution to work. It is a liberal thought process that has poisoned the well of liberty.

160 Kelsey Grammer on Jess Watters last night. As opposed to Billy Crystal who opened the Hollywood Bowl summer season by getting cheers for mentioning Trump's name has been taken down at the Kennedy Center:
---------------------------------------------
'There is a virus that has infected a very small number of people, I think, who just want to tear things down. They've been consumed by hatred.

'Of course, hatred ends up basically destroying you. They're welcome to it. I pray for them. I pray for everyone to find decent sentiment in their hearts about this country and about the people who run it these days and about those who love it, because it's worth loving.'

After Watters claimed that tourists visiting the United States for the World Cup respected the country more than Americans do, Grammer said, 'It's great that we're given this chance to see it in the eyes of so many of our European fellows and South American fellows. This whole idea about many, we are one, it is one of the greatest things in the world.

'It's by definition a diverse nation, but we have a unifying concept that everybody's worth reaching for the moon. And America will help you do it.'

164 156 -

Having read a lot of SCOTUS decisions over the years (but not nearly as many as whig), my guess is either:

1. A majority decision that rules on process without even getting to the actual text of the 14th Amendment. [a procedural punt]

2. Or a plurality decision that does address the 14th Amendment in some way, but with a plethora of partial concurrence/partial dissents and a "majority" opinion that has various parts with more or less binding nature.

In other words, headlines will treat the ruling as some sort of definitive Dredd Scott ruling, but it will probably be a mess that does not solve the issue at all, and probably isn't intended to.

178 garrett, I've heard arguments A14 wasn't properly added to the Constitution on account several of the Southern states at the time were under occupation with questionable claims to the "republican government" demanded of legal State status.
A13 had got added with less fuss. The North swept their ratifications and Reconstruction hadn't quite devolved into the mess it devolved into, at that time (and a lot of the South was kinda sick of slavery too).

Actual SCOTUS precedent says the child would not be an American citizen.

Wong Kim Ark's ruling outlines the specifics, primary of which was legal residence of the parents upon the birth.

230 Acting Director of NI removed dozens of career officials & fired political appointees. Many 'staff' were reverted to home agencies without clear reassignment paths.

Federal lawsuit, DOE 1 v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (1:25-cv-00300), was filed on February 17, 2025, by a group of 'nonpartisan,' career civil servants working in national security roles within the CIA & ODNI.

The case serves as a crucial legal battle ground regarding the Trump's administration's mass downsizing of the intelligence community following EO 14152, mandating the termination of federal diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives.

March 2025, a US District Judge issued a mixed ruling. He granted a preliminary injunction that barred the administration from terminating the plaintiffs without court approval. The order also forced the ODNI and CIA to allow employees to appeal any termination decisions and mandated that the agencies consider them for open position outside of restricted "competitive areas."

The gov fought back, proceedings stayed, and oral arguments heard Dec. 2025. The case is ongoing, awaiting final ruling by the 4th Circuit panel.

261 Presidential Actions
Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing
The White House, January 20, 2025

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military. This was a concerted effort stemming from President Biden’s first day in office, when he issued Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”

Pursuant to Executive Order 13985 and follow-on orders, nearly every Federal agency and entity submitted “Equity Action Plans” to detail the ways that they have furthered DEIs infiltration of the Federal Government. The public release of these plans demonstrated immense public waste and shameful discrimination. That ends today. Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect, ... much more.

280 I forgot about this - and didn't realize 7 GOPer's saved her from censure, nice......

LaMonica McIver, now 40, and pregnant with her second child, is set to appear in federal court on charges that she did 'forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with' a federal law enforcement agent who was carrying out his duties, per her indictment last year.

McIver, who also currently has a 9-year-old daughter, could face as long as 17 years if convicted.

During a visit she conducted with fellow lawmakers at New Jersey's Delaney Hall immigration facility last May, McIver was caught on video in a clash with law enforcement officials.

She has asked for the charges to be dismissed, and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with federal officials related to actions in the ICE facility skirmish.

She was also saved from a career-shaming embarrassment by seven of her Republican colleagues, who decided not to censure her in the House of Representatives after she was charged the previous year.

'If House Republicans think they can make me run scared, they're wrong,' McIver noted in a statement issued before the vote.

Fourth Circuit Overturns Lowly District Court Judge, Okays Trump's Expedited Deportations

Congress passed a bill authorizing expedited deportation -- which could take as little as a few days. They called this, "expedited deportations."

I am stressing it's called "expedited deportations" because the Hawaiian judges who keep blocking Trump from doing this seem to think that Trump is breaking the law by attempting to use expedited deportations to deport illegal aliens in an expeditious manner. They think it should take years upon years until the feds just give up and let the illegal alien stay forever.

The Fourth Circuit considered the dispute. They looked at the part of the law that says "expedited deportations" and
reasoned that the law must mean that illegal aliens can be deported expeditiously.

Federal court allows ICE to expand expedited deportations nationwide

A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an effort to expand fast-track deportations throughout the U.S., in a legal win for the president's crackdown on illegal immigration.
The 2-1 decision by a panel of judges at the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia Circuit allows the Department of Homeland Security to carry out an expansion of the expedited removal process, which empowers federal immigration officials to deport some detainees without court hearings.
Before the second Trump administration, the expedited removal policy was limited to areas close to the border and only applied to recent entrants who could not prove they had been living in the country for more than two weeks.
But the policy allowed to take effect Tuesday -- which was drafted in the first week of President Trump's second term in January 2025 -- expands expedited removal to anywhere in the United States. Officials can use it on any unauthorized immigrant who cannot prove they have been in the country for more than two years.

Congress left it to the Executive to determine how broadly to apply the power. Leftists have been suing for years claiming that because previous presidents -- Biden and Obama --did not choose to use the power to its maximum effect, that means Trump isn't allowed to either.

And Hawaiian judges agreed.

But now they've been overruled.

In August 2025, a federal judge found the Trump administration's expansion of expedited removal violated due process rights, following a lawsuit from immigrant advocacy group Make the Road New York. The panel of appellate judges disagreed Tuesday, invalidating her order.
The two appellate judges in the majority -- Trump-appointed Justin Walker and Neomi Rao -- found the policy offers sufficient due process protections.
"Make the Road has not shown that the expedited-removal process denies its members notice and an opportunity to be heard," they wrote.

The law stupidly includes a provision that an illegal who can show that he's been living in America, illegally or legally (and it will be illegally, of course) for two years is not subject to this expedited form of deportation.

Leftists made up a new part of the law that would read, if it existed, that Trump is required to inform each deportee of this fact so they can begin scrambling to make up a fake timeline showing their continuous presence in the US.

Held: Cops and judges do not have to write illegal aliens' defense motions for them.

Last August, a lower court judge called the government's procedures for ensuring people aren't accidentally subjected to expedited removal "woefully inadequate," writing that migrants were not even informed of the fact that being in the country for at least two years is a possible defense. On Tuesday, the appellate court pushed back, finding that standard "would require immigration officers to provide what amounts to legal advice."
Obama-appointed Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins dissented from the core of the ruling, arguing the policy deprives people of due process rights. In part, he wrote that the policy doesn't require immigration officials to ask migrants how long they have been in the country, or inform them of the two-year rule.

63 The Fourth Circuit considered the dispute. They looked at the part of the law that says "expedited deportations" and reasoned that the law must mean that illegal aliens can be deported expeditiously.

97 Never a dull moment -

President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled the signing of a bipartisan housing affordability bill today, putting the fate of the legislation into limbo, as punishment for unruly Republicans.

Trump took to his Truth Social account with the news just hours before the planned signing, saying he refuses to green–light the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act – an election measure he has been pushing hard during his second term.

'Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,' he posted.

"Darializa Chevalier lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points. She also lost predominantly Black and Hispanic areas, and she lost lower income areas by 10 points. She won with young voters and higher income voters, and won majority college educated areas by 20 points."

208 I don't think NY means shit to the rest of the nation. What other state, historically, follows NY's lead? None. NY is not a trend setter like CA used to be. It's a port like Washington and Oregon.
How big a trend setter are they? Hell, eastern half of those states want to separate. CA too. Shit stays in its own cesspool. Pardon my French.

228 A communiqué from David Hogg, Harvard graduate:

"Last night was a big one, friend.

The vibes were immaculate, we remain undefeated in state legislatures, and we’ve officially taken home 21 wins so far this cycle.

Leaders We Deserve-endorsed candidates went up against the establishment and won. Loyalty to corporate cash and the elite sealed their opponents’ fate — voters knew who they’d be answering to. They’re done with politicians that talk about fighting for working people while quietly cashing checks from the very special interests making life harder.

The winning blueprint is right here, and it’s not complicated. You don’t need a corporate warchest to win — you need conviction, moral courage, community roots, and the audacity to actually fight for a future worth believing in. These leaders put the issues young voters care about front and center, and gave them a real reason to hope.

The momentum we’re seeing right now is proof that this movement has the juice to win anywhere and build a Democratic Party that actually answers to working people and fights back against MAGA extremism."

This was a famous political ploy in the 1890's. Samuel "Golden Rule" Jones, millionaire Christian Socialist, was mayor of a midwestern city, holding Mayor's Court, when a delegation of Decent Ladies came to demand he do something to remove 'fallen women' from the city's streets.

So he told them that if each of them would offer a safe and supporting home to a prostitute, he would do the same.

He changed parties in the middle of an election and won as a write-in. Founder and President, Acme Sucker Rod Company.

Part of the attraction of stupid ideas like socialism (and transgender nonsense) is that they are promoted as societally worthy without pushback or rejoinder. Right-wingers should spend less time complaining that the people in some retarded blue hellhole are retarded and more time creating social bonds that make retarded viewpoints unacceptable in their areas. Just talking to neighbors and being friendly while not staying silent when they say something really dumb can help.

Yass Naubelle, 30, was intercepted by Moroccan border officials on June 13 and placed in police custody moments before she was set to board her flight home to France.

The content creator published a viral video that heavily criticised local authorities and complained about local driving standards.

While riding in the back of a taxi, she slammed her holiday experience in Marrakech, Morocco, hitting out at local law enforcement in the North African country.

The video has since been deleted, but she reportedly said: 'I've never seen people drive like this.

345 I've maintained for a while that I think Democrats barely take the House. 5 seat majority or so.

Jeffries managing a 5 seat majority while trying to roll back ICE spending appropriated last year and this year that is good through 2028 is going to be hilarious. The toothless impeachment committees will be amusing as well.

Especially when the Senate doesn't change at all in terms of numbers.

I was with you earlier - but redistricting, plus Virginia's failure plus it looks like California cut a little too thin. Plus voting day looks like it might actually stick. Dems could still take it, but math is working against it - and having all your exciting energy for a progressive movement on the 10% side of 90/10 issues with the general public usually isn't a winning strategy. The dems are now in a civil war. Just in time for the midterms. GOP probably going to gain a few seats in the House. 55 in the Senate is a real possibility.

Socialists Take Over the New York Democrat Party, Eye a National Takeover

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Rep. Espaillat concedes. Mamdani-backed socialists have officially gone 3/3 and won all of their respective Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York tonight. Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen:
Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and "all deportations are wrong", including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an "effing disgrace", and said in a prior social media post "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me."
Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.
Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court.
Mamdani gets a clean sweep, a bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and big questions for where the Democratic Party is heading.

One of the big winners yesterday was a communist who wants to empty the prisons and refuses to say that even murderers should go to jail. Darializa Chevalier -- a child of an immigrant and, as Actual Justice Warrior surmised, most likely an anchor baby herself -- is firmly against deportations for any reason, favors illegal aliens voting in US elections because the elections affect them too, and wants to end all enforcement at the border.

Meet the Islamic daughter of an immigrant who a leftwing magazine calls "the Next AOC," Darializa Avlia Chevalier.

She is now the Democrat candidate for the 13th Congressional district in NY and will of course win the general.

She says that if you're convicted of murder in the US you cannot be deported on top of that because that would be "double jeopardy" and there's a constitutional forbiddence of that. This is of course completely untrue; if you commit both a murder and a theft, you can be punished for either. Double jeopardy means being punished twice for the same offense, but the Learning Disability Left doesn't know basic things like this.

This anchor baby has an Anchor Murder policy, as Actual Justice Warrior termed it. She really believes that if you commit a murder in the US and go to jail for it, you are now guaranteed permanent residence in the US because deporting you after the murder sentence is double jeopardy.

She is a zealot on defunding the police and emptying the prisons. refuses to say that even murder should result in a prison sentence. Liberal Ben Smith asked her four times in this group interview by liberals if a murderer should ever go to jail and she kept refusing to answer, saying instead that she wants to look at the root causes for the murder and objecting to prison because people only go to prison if they're "black and brown."

Oh and she attended a pro-Palestinian rally the day after October 7, to celebrate the attacks, and converted to Islam three years ago.

Please meet Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-endorsed DSA candidate for Congress:

Mark Halperin pointed out that Jews no longer have any realistic possibility of being elected to the presidency or vice presidency in the Democrat Party, and that the party is now so extreme that AOC wouldn't be considered progressive enough to be a presidential candidate -- she's too "establishment," you see.

The Democrat Party is now the Party of Hamas, US Branch:

Washington Free Beacon
@FreeBeacon
A liberal New York political club declined to endorse the Zohran Mamdani-backed candidate for New York's 13th Congressional District, socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, following a "spirited meeting" in which Chevalier refused to condemn Hamas.
"We usually support the younger, more progressive candidate," Broadway Democrats wrote in its Thursday newsletter.
"But we cannot do this in the 13th District Congressional race, and it is not a close call. That is because ... at our own endorsement meeting, when asked to condemn Hamas and its October 7th attacks, [Chevalier] point-blank refused, turning the question into yet another attack on Israel."

14 So this is the counter from the Democrat Party for Trump's powerful narrative that blew up and practically dissolved the old guard in both parties.

They just need a strong message and the reality (unfortunately) is it doesn't matter to most voters what that message is. It will be couched in words like fairness, compassion and justice.

Nothing about that party has changed and if anything you see how fast the mainstream has latched on to stuff that "should" be controversial like... hating Jews.

Most people vote on feels and what they will feel from these idiot open commies is strength, and something that sounds novel. The Dems don't have any play but to be outand proud commie now. Think of it as another mask coming off due to Trump. What will be freaky is how far and fast supposed "Republicans" get behind open in your face communism, which we are already seeing.

Well, they were always dilettantes. They liked the idea, but also still wanted the benefits of the system they lived within. They just wanted to coopt it.

These people are true believers who want to destroy the system and then things will be better. So it's not so much cooption as it is just retardation that it will be:

2)???
3) Wonderful world.

Looking at the Russian revolution is fascinating - the country ended up with the faction that it least wanted running things. And some of the core specific lessons:

Right leaning politicians need to care about what people want and not defer to protocol and procedure. Also shoot socialists or they will shoot you

Moderate and left leaning factions need to learn "no enemies to the left" gets you killed. Yes right leaning governments are boring and don't scratch that revolutionary itch...but it beats slaving to death in a Siberian labor camp.

See how they're calling it "equivalent"? It's not equivalent to what Trump brought and awakened, but as a message, it is, and it is what they are now going with. This isn't a split in the party nor is it a takeover. It is the fresh cost of paint the old guard requires to compete nationally with MAGA. Hillary and Bernie weren't going to get it done.

There is nothing about the old guard that can stand up to the winds of change that Trump ushered in. But this ridiculous communism message is "new", the energy is fake but there, and now they have something strong that can stand up to Trump's successor and scream something besides "Reee Worse Than Trump Reeeee."

Correct. It is nothing even remotely resembling organic. Mamdani was plotted into office to be the first peg they could latch onto to call it a "movement".

This was their only way forward. I was talking about this in 2017 FFS. The only logical thing to do next after Trump beat them down was never to "tack to the center" - Trump took over the center - it was always gonna be go insanely left. They did have the "lucky' covid and mail in ballot hiccup but I think that was part of it.

107 Seems the Justice Democrats and Democratic Socialists have found commonality in American Priorities. (Reportedly, the super PAC is largely funded by prominent Muslim business owners and other progressive donors from across the country.)

Goldman and Espaillat were both endorsed by AIPAC.

The three (winning) candidates supported by American Priorities received criticism from their opponents for receiving support from the PAC, although all three claimed not to have any involvement with the group.

The old guard is falling in NY, PA, and more. Governor Hochul’s endorsed candidates faced a mixed primary night with only former policy director, Micah Lasher, winning in the Democratic primary.

108 New Yawkas suffer from the same myopic view on the economy that they do on the environment.

Because if you live in NYC, you walk outside and don't see a tree or grass, you kind of assume that the environment has been destroyed. But if you head out into the countryside you'll notice rural males working round the clock to cut back trees, mow the grass, bad the leaves, etc.

Likewise, if your live in NYC, you are probably living in a broom closet with a shitter and hot plate and paying $3000 a month for it. And if that was my reality, yeah, I'd probably think the economy was unfair, too.

What they fail to recognize is that they chose to live in hell. Most everyone that live out in the rural communities understand that NYC is a piece of shit, occupied by denizens of shit, and find their shit-stained shithole to be the shittiest existence possible.

Now with millions of illegals that stand to benefit from them gaining political power I shudder at what happens if DSA communists get anywhere close to succeeding. That goes triple if you are a Jewish American.

The DSA is organizing a paramilitary group, The Red Rabbits, whose purpose, as stated by the DSA is to be "cunning and full of tricks" to protect members from police, counter-protesters, and fascist groups. This sure sounds a whole lot like the Chicom Red Guards.

It seems somewhat excessive to think these totalitarians monsters can actually pull off taking over the country but they have made progress and are on the verge, if not already, owning the Democrat party. These guys are nothing but trouble.

142 Democrat Chris Rabb defeats party machine in PA primary

The mayor and the city's Democratic Party had endorsed another candidate in this week's primary. So had members of Pennsylvania's delegation in the U.S. House. One Rabb rival was backed by millions of dollars. A second benefited from a get-out-the-vote operation run by the influential local building trades unions.

But Rabb finished 15 percentage points ahead of his closest competitor in Tuesday's election, and the state representative is likely on his way to Washington because no Republican sought the GOP nomination.

Rabb was propelled by a constellation of progressive groups, charting a path to victory partly by assailing his own party as listening more to donors than voters. He credited a grassroots movement inspired by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, alarmed by Republican President Donald Trump and hungry for a government responsive to their needs.

And there's Adam Hamawy. Intercept, June 2: Adam Hamawy, Doctor Who Volunteered in Gaza, Poised to Become Pro-Palestine Rep. From New Jersey

Hamawy won despite media reports that sought to tarnish the progressive candidate as an Islamic extremist.

The Dems were celebrating on 10/7/23. We had a full year of college riots specifically targeting Jewish students, remember those?

And in Nov 2024 Jews voted overwhelmingly Democrat. A majority of young (under 40 I believe) Jewish voters backed Mamdani in 2025.

So no it’s not too early. We’re 3 years into this and has been undeniable from day 1. Yet voting patterns have remain unchanged.

I mean this with no ill intent whatsoever, but rather with an eye to historical patterns.

Because the Jewish community is very interconnected and self-persevering, they will vote in whatever fashion they believe serves their own interests.

I'm not saying that's wrong. In some sense we should and do all be voting in our interests.

But I don't think ideas like "The Republic" or "The Constitution" are at the core of what drives the Jewish political ideology, more ideas of protecting themselves and their interests.

If they stand to suffer under Democrat rule, they will certainly back Republicans, but likewise they will switch back. They seem to be a very pragmatic group.

In places like NYC, conservatives have already left, moderates are leaving, traditional dems are being frozen out, and dropping out. The activist part of the Dem Party has taken full control of the party apparatus, which is allowing them to dominate elections in these corrupt, single party blue cities.

BUT - this kind of control only exists in the deepest of deep blue cities.

For a long time (don't know if it's still true in our digital world), California basically dictated the contents of the nation's school textbooks because publishers work on volume. I get the feeling that urban centers still write the textbooks in some way or other. Cf. that 1619 Project bitch.

Wednesday Morning Rant

A Routine Killer

As happens seemingly every year (I wrote about it last year, too), Europe is again going through a major heat wave. This time, they're calling it a "heat dome" and there's lots of apocalyptic language being thrown around, and plenty of blaming "climate change" for this thing that happens every summer. It is indeed hot. Parts of Western Europe have been over 100 degrees and it's expected to continue for a few days. Britain is expecting to set records. Europe can't deal with it and the perennial lack of effective response has real consequences.

According to the WHO (grains of salt, etc.), heatwaves have killed 200,000 Europeans in the past four years. That's a lot of people. For comparison, heat-related deaths in the United States - a country where many parts are much hotter than Europe - has had 20,000 heat-related deaths in the past 25 years. This year, Europe is responding as it always does: by banning things and by engaging in hysterical hand-wringing. It's the only response the EU ever has, and it is perhaps the only response it can have.

The histrionics are particularly good this year.

"This is not just a heatwave, it is a heat-dome driven furnace that will grip most of southern UK and push temperatures into truly exceptional territory," said Akshay Deoras, a meteorologist at the University of Reading.

A furnace that reaches 95+ degrees. That is hot to be sure, especially for Britain, but 90-something temperatures causing panic and a swath of death is insane to an American. There is a reason for the panic, which is the last time there was this kind of heat wave about 20 years ago:

"This heatwave will be quite comparable in severity to the one in August 2003. It is expected to surpass it in terms of maximum intensity," Meteo France said Monday, referring to a deadly 16-day heat wave that killed nearly 15,000 people.

Europe is responding as usual. France has banned drinking alcohol at music festivals (the article doesn't say why, so my guess is to help prevent dehydration). Spain canceled a large event where people would gather to watch the World Cup. The New York Times has some helpful hints for travelers facing the heat wave, and the list is useful to examine:

Block out the windows in your home - especially those that get afternoon sun - with a blanket or a darker sheet during the day to keep the heat out. At night, keep windows open and run fans to circulate the air.
Spritz your skin with a mist of cool or room-temperature water or wipe your forehead with a cool cloth. Cold showers can also help you cool down.
If you need to be outdoors, put ice cubes in your water bottle and drink cool liquids. If you plan to exercise, douse your head in cold water. Swimming is also a great way to exercise and keep cool.

Notice what the Times doesn't recommend. It's the obvious thing to any American. They don't recommend turning on the air conditioner. They don't recommend that because it isn't an option. Europe, as a rule, doesn't have A/C. Some places have it, of course, but most don't. Barcelona runs "climate shelters" - that is, places with air conditioning - and as was also reported during last year's heat wave, is undertaking urban reconstruction to nibble at the edges. But not to normalize A/C. That, they couldn't do even if they wanted to.

They simply don't have enough power to normalize A/C. Even if people want it (and in Europe, many decry air conditioning as absurd wasteful Americanism, but demand is nonetheless higher than ever), they can't get it. They can get the equipment, but they can't power it. The grid falls apart if too many people try. From last year's article:

Spain knows it has a problem. In a time of right-wing opposition to Europe’s environment-protecting Green Deal regulations - "greenlash," it has been called - the progressive government of Spain has embraced an ecological transition.

Yes, wanting to run an air conditioner reliably is "right-wing." Of course it is. Someone saying, "wait a second, we need more power and can't get it because the eco warriors refuse to permit reliable power generation" is the mark of a right-wing radical.

So Europe does what it can, and it's the same solution as in every crisis. As always, the answer is to stop doing things you enjoy and accept your position as a controlled subject who is forbidden from other options and merely hope the old people in your family don't die because they can't cool off. How much air conditioning would Europeans have if they could get it? Probably a damn sight more than they do now. But they can't, so the point is moot. "Decarbonization" and "climate change" and "progressive government" have all but guaranteed that this year, like most years, hot weather will rack up a meaningful body count. There is just nothing that can be done to prevent it. To prevent would be to embrace effective power generation and, yes, to take a cue from those filthy Americans and make air conditioning more common in places where it gets hot.

And we just can't do that. That would be absurd.

17 "Block out the windows in your home - especially those that get afternoon sun - with a blanket or a darker sheet during the day to keep the heat out."

Seems they would need something reflective, not a dark blanket. The dark blanket will collect maximum heat, and it is inside the room, so the hot air will go up and pull in more cooler room air at the bottom.

I did this in my house for solar heat for a couple years, except I had fans to help circulate the heat, and it was for winter use.

19 In 1980, the Portland metropolitan area had 10% of residences with air conditioning.

In Portland, you simply accepted that a couple of weeks a year would be too hot.

Since the '90's, every new residence in Portland has had a/c installed, and the City of Portland now gives away air conditioners to poor people (through politically-connected nonprofits, of course), because air conditioning is now a Human Right.

41 When I have to mow down here on the Gulf Coast in the summer, I soak a hand towel in water and place it the freezer for most of the day. Then, in the evening when I mow, as it is often still around 90 degrees, I wrap the towel around my neck, stuffing the ends into the collar of my t-shirt before heading out. Works wonderfully.

45 I haven't read Catcher in the Rye since HS, so maybe I'd hate it now. But I thought it was okay back then. A welcome relief from the dreary, unloved (by anyone but English teachers) classics, like The Scarlet Letter. There were not a lot of books I read for English that I did like. Cry, The Beloved Country is the only counterexample that springs to mind. But I might hate it now too if I reread it, given how things have turned out.

Seems they would need something reflective, not a dark blanket. The dark blanket will collect maximum heat, and it is inside the room, so the hot air will go up and pull in more cooler room air at the bottom.

Because the end goal with all world governments at this point is population control. They will blame whatever they can blame, but it's their policies that get you killed. I guarantee you they are living in A/C and keeping cool during heat waves that is killing their constituents.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright cited “tremendous interest” among developers of data centers that would buy the power, as well as utilities and energy companies. The nuclear plants could begin construction by 2030 and become operational in the mid-2030s, Wright and other officials said Tuesday.

“This is the start,” Wright said on a call with reporters. “We’re going to move with the players that are ready to stand up and move quickly. Once that supply chain is up and running, do we think there will be dozens of these built going forward? I’d be very surprised if there were not.”

We bought a house in 2019 I think, and the AC just couldn't keep the place cool on really hot days. Previous owners actually had it built, and skimped on everything, so the smallest AC for the square footage, minimal insulation, no shade on the house, etc.

We covered the whole roof in solar panels...and while not a great investment purely looking at energy produced/utility bill saved, it dramatically cooled the house in summer, which alone was worth it.

111 Last time I had my flat roof replaced, they put a white rubber/plastic membrane on it, only around 2mm thick. It keeps the place a bit cooler, and to my utter amazement, it has lasted 15 years so far without springing a leak or getting torn off by wind.

113 I'm curious: 1) How do they attach the panels to the roof securely enough to a roof so the wind doesn't rip them off? 2) Do the attachment points tend to spring leaks? 3) When the roof needs maint or replacement, doesn't it cost more because the panels need to be removed before the job and reattached after the job?
Posted by: gp at June 24, 2026 11:30 AM (Jr5Lq)

1. Screws.
2. Not mine.
3. Yes, but since I only replace my roof when insurance pays for it, they cover the extra cost.

120 Eugyppius notes on the current German government public health advisory:

Open windows only at night, early in the morning, and late in the evening.

Otherwise close all windows and draw all curtains so you can be both uncomfortably warm and profoundly depressed.

Safely ensconced in your stuffy dark apartment, unplug all electrical devices, including your internet router, because these can emit heat even in “standby mode.”

Also roll up all of your carpets to stop them from storing heat.

Hang up wet laundry in your dark apartment to cool the air via evaporation, but do not hang up too much wet laundry or the air will become excessively humid which is even worse.

The one electronic device you might possibly consider plugging in, is a fan, to cool your skin. To enhance the cooling effect, put a bucket of all the ice that you have emptied from your unplugged freezer in front of the fan.What you should not plug in, is any kind of portable air conditioning unit, because the Federal Environmental Agency believes that they will actually make your room warmer when the exhaust air finds its way back into your apartment.

128 According to a report in the Tuesday U.K. Daily Mail, 36 voters - many of whom are celebrities - are registered at one suite on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, including “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston.

This is in spite of the fact that not only does Los Angeles require you to register to vote at your home address, it also requires you to sign an affidavit avowing that’s your official place of residence. For those of you not associated with the law, signing an affidavit under false pretenses is — dum dum dum! - perjury!

Anyone who has lived or traveled around Europe knows that the average person isn't all that different from us. But their media is if anything more dishonest than ours and constantly paints Americans as rude, uncultured, ignorant, racist slobs. Meanwhile, their standard of living is on average way lower than the average American.

Both Monday and yesterday I did my usual jogs after work… it was mid-90s both days and humid. Dew point around 77 degF… that’s tropical and unpleasant. But somehow I survived 6 miles because I’m not an idiot. I hydrate and if I need to I stop and walk. It’s not hard folks! I think wintertime cold near 0 degF is much more likely to kill folks

209 It's a good thread but what ever changes but for immigration? (It seems like a WHO/EU plan. 🤷‍♀️

Heat is rarely recorded as the direct cause of death; rather, it acts as the fatal catalyst for heart failure, strokes, or respiratory crises. People with pre-existing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are at the highest risk.

Over 85% of victims are elderly individuals (over 65) who suffer from underlying heart, lung, and kidney complications. Older adults and the very old (often over 80) make up the vast majority of heat-related fatalities.

Studies consistently show a significantly higher rate of heat-related mortality among women compared to men, often due to social isolation and physiological factors.

Manual laborers face continuous exposure and heavy exertion.

Densely populated cities trap heat in concrete and asphalt, making conditions much worse at night.

Several elderly individuals have suffered fatal heat-related illnesses in the Philadelphia region during recent May heat waves. Notably, an 80-year-old woman in a Holmesburg apartment passed away from environmental hyperthermia after enduring dangerous indoor heat without functioning air conditioning.

Gas is a cash business, even the big guys have to pay for each tanker of fuel as it is received. Thus, you need to make sure you have enough cash received from the last tank to pay for the next one. So by default, prices rise quickly and fall slowly. Of course, some do try and take advantage. They usually quickly run out of customers.

93 Gas is a cash business, even the big guys have to pay for each tanker of fuel as it is received. Thus, you need to make sure you have enough cash received from the last tank to pay for the next one. So by default, prices rise quickly and fall slowly. Of course, some do try and take advantage. They usually quickly run out of customers.

101 😬 Right off the bat, pass hanging but here's the story -

Art Institute Chicago,
Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida
Date: 1929–30
Artist: Ivan Albright (American, 1897–1983)

About this artwork
Holding a mirror, powdering her chest, and surrounded with accoutrements of fashion and beauty, the figure portrayed here does not necessarily inspire thoughts of youth and vibrancy. Rather, as one critic put it when this painting was first exhibited, he saw a “woman with flesh the color of a corpse drowned six weeks.” Ida Rogers herself was 19 years old at the time she posed for the artist. With his hyperbolic version of realism, Ivan Albright laboriously transformed his sitter into a vision of his own making. The painting is less a portrait than a meticulous musing on the passage of time and the relationship—both powerful and fragile—between mind and body.

Also: Fleshing Out Ivan Albright
In part, "At a base hospital in France a surgeon put Albright’s drawing ability to use, employing him as a medical draftsman documenting the wounds and injuries of soldiers returning from the front." WWI

111 This is why so much of 20th century art pisses me off. An artist with obvious talent (look at the table and accoutrements and the chair) chooses to show the ugly side of everything. This is not the tragic quality of Rodin's sculpture "La Belle qui fut heaulmière" denoting age and loss. This 'art' emphasizes ugliness and lack of awareness with no redeeming aspects. The blocky, lumpy body and features in colors that are unfit for the living flesh, the confidant posture that belies the reality of her appearance, and the lack of any real femininity remaining are completely unattractive. A rotting corpse applying makeup to cover up the decay.

It's one thing to use art to demonstrate vanity and lack of awareness. It's another to make the image so repulsive, deliberately, that it drives the audience away.

130 Re: gas prices

State taxes vary wildly. Can’t really compare apples to apples gas prices between regions. Even within states, cities and counties can add their own gas tax.

I used to live on the border of two states. Gas was always 30-40 cents cheaper on one side. Mainly difference in gas tax but also difference in minimum wage, property taxes and other factors. There were 4 gas stations on the main road, just inside the state line, 2 on both sides of the street. Always packed with cars from the other side. Funny thing was all 4 always had the exact same price. One would raise price by 2 cents the other 3 would match. One would lower by 5 cents the others would match it.

Interesting (well, maybe not to you, but I found it notable)- while most saints get a feast day aligning with their death (they day they entered heaven) St. John the Baptist has an additional one celebrating the day of his birth, called the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, which is today's celebrstion.

208 From the Art Institute of Chicago's description:
1929–30
Artist: Ivan Albright (American, 1897–1983)
About this artwork: Holding a mirror, powdering her chest, and surrounded with accoutrements of fashion and beauty, the figure portrayed here does not necessarily inspire thoughts of youth and vibrancy. Rather, as one critic put it when this painting was first exhibited, he saw a “woman with flesh the color of a corpse drowned six weeks.” Ida Rogers herself was 19 years old at the time she posed for the artist. With his hyperbolic version of realism, Ivan Albright laboriously transformed his sitter into a vision of his own making. The painting is less a portrait than a meticulous musing on the passage of time and the relationship—both powerful and fragile—between mind and body.

He looked at a beautiful woman and transformed her into a vision of ugly vanity. Thanks, guy!

These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. NSPM-7 is a grave threat to all of us and more bullshit "terrorism" charges like these are coming.

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with genre fiction.

The business of writing is to make money in the end. You can't write if you can't eat or can induce aa big Sugar momma to keep you in Brazilian Pizza.

But, writing for movies writing process goes something like this-

Think of a high concept
Mash high concept into genre and story easily turned into a movie.
Write well enough to get a Hollywood producer to have his people read it.

As you can see you're constrained already in how or where your story will go.

Gives a patina of sameness to every story out there.

Sad.

The Morning Report — 6/ 24 /26

Good morning kids. So, this happened yesterday in the primary elections.

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents. Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede. The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races — signaled Mamdani could expand his socialist wave beyond New York City, to Washington, DC. . . The candidates hold a slew of far-left views that were once fringe within the Democrat Party.. .
...Valdez and Avila Chevalier both campaigned on their staunch opposition to Israel — labeling the Jewish state’s actions in Gaza a genocide — and on pushing their pro-Palestinian values. Like Mamdani, the pair called for a full divestment of Israel and cutting off of any sales of US arms to its ally in the Middle East.
Valdez also echoed the Mamdani admin’s radical housing platform, pushing for the seizure of property from bad landlords.
All three also want to abolish ICE and Avila Chevalier, a community organizer and doctoral candidate, has even said she doesn’t believe foreign criminals should be deported.

One can laugh at New York and smugly claim, and not unjustly so, that they brought this on themselves. while New York at least for the last 50 years or so has for sure been liberal, the David Dinkins years notwithstanding, it has not been insane. A combination of cultural societal and political conditions have converged to create a perfect storm of insanity that has utterly eradicated the legacy and miracle of the Rudy Giuliani years. And so while one can jeer at New York, this madness can and likely will spread.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Senior Political Commentator Van Jones reacted to Brad Lander’s primary win over Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) by saying that “The Mamdani phenomenon is not a one guy thing. The Democratic Socialists are an insurgency in this party.” And “This is a serious movement inside the Democratic Party. The left is on the march.”
. . . He continued, “But I think people who thought this was going to be kind of a cute guy off to the side, there’s a huge infrastructure here, there’s a movement here, there’s passion here, and people who don’t like it are going to have to wake up and smell the coffee. This is a serious movement inside the Democratic Party. The left is on the march.”

You know who else was "on the march?!" All Jones needs is an Austrian inflection with a soupçon, or mit einem bisschen of Ugandan/Muslim jive for extra texture! For those unaware or as a refresher, Van Jones is a full-on Anti-American anti-Western freak as you can see from his rap sheet here at Discover the Networks.

Jones’ new approach was modeled on the tactics outlined by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky, who stressed the need for revolutionaries to mask the extremism of their objectives and to present themselves as moderates until they could gain some control over the machinery of political power. Jones still considered himself a revolutionary, but a more effective one thanks to his revised tactics.

And thus we had the candidacy and now the actions/policies of Abigail Spanberger among others. So no Van Jones was not lamenting the hard left lurch as illustrated by Mamdani and last night's results in NYC. Far from it, his nipples were bursting with orgasmic glee. But, is this filthy bastard right and my hopes that the coming of President Trump heralded a sea change in our culture merely a speed bump on America's road to hell?

Yes, James Talarico I assume has no shot at all, ditto all the others like him scattered around the sane areas of the country, or am I whistling past the graveyard?

By the end of this year, there could be 10 socialist mayors in the U.S. That’s the most since the 1910s, when socialism was the shiny new object embraced by educated elites.
But what excuse do Democrats have today – after 100 years of socialism’s miserable, murderous failures – for embracing this toxic ideology?
Back in 1911, according to one historical count, members of the Socialist Party of America won office in 74 towns and cities, and another 32 in 1913.
Fast forward to today. As NBC News put it, “Democratic socialists are on the rise in Trump-era mayoral races … fueled by a backlash to Trump policies, economic strain and fatigue with the Democratic establishment.”
Right now, there are eight socialist mayors – the most since the 1920s – and primary voters in one-party District of Columbia virtually guaranteed a ninth when they nominated a socialist to run that misbegotten city. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, socialist Democrat Nithya Raman will face off against the Fidel Castro-loving incumbent Karen Bass. Then there’s Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who is a socialist in all but name. . But Democrats rushing to embrace the current socialist fad should beware, because the last one was (thankfully) short-lived here in the U.S. In 1919, only five socialists won mayoral elections. Even in the middle of the Great Depression, there were only three socialist mayors in the country.
A “historical note” by the New York University Libraries says the party had trouble containing its “revolutionary wing” right off the bat. And the 1917 Russian Revolution, it says, “encouraged the left wing of the party to demand a more militant program and, when this was not forthcoming, to secede from the party in 1919 and establish the Communist Party.”
. . . As the City Journal notes, “As more and more DSA members take power, the group they belong to keeps getting more radical—a tension they will inevitably have to resolve.” A separate City Journal article points out the party’s “emerging militant network.”
Republicans ignore these developments at their own peril, since they can’t fight something – even if that something is as toxic as socialism – with nothing. And dismissing it as “junk food of modern American politics,” as GOP strategist Luke Ball told Fox News recently, isn’t going to cut it.

Yes, way too busy voting to give money to Ukraine to pass the SAVE Act.

The retail giant agreed on Tuesday to buy power from a nuclear plant in Illinois owned by Constellation Energy for its operations in the area, including its stores and a high-tech warehouse in Illinois that stores and sorts perishable food.

Walmart will buy 176 megawatts of power from the plant over a 15-year period, or enough power to serve around 150,000 homes.

36 I’m a little more hopeful about the Iran situation today; mainly because I read an article (in the New Republic of all places.. a lefty rag) that debunked the notion that the US is gonna give Iran $300B… not true. Makes me feel better because that notion I did not like at all and if it’s debunked by the Trump-hate New Republic I think I can believe it.

Also that poll cited in the MOU: 32% for, 24% against, 44% unsure (where are the other 4%??… I’m bad at math but that adds to 96%)…. I’m thinking a healthy percentage of the 24% against are folks like me who think it’s potentially too accommodating so they’re on our side… all in all, good news.

Also good news if Iran insists they’re not agreeing to nuke inspections because it opens the way to my favorite Beach Boys tune: bomb bomb Iran

57 Republicans ignore these developments at their own peril, since they can’t fight something – even if that something is as toxic as socialism – with nothing. And dismissing it as “junk food of modern American politics,” as GOP strategist Luke Ball told Fox News recently, isn’t going to cut it.

What we need to do is follow people like AtC who just doesn't vote for Republicans that just aren't perfect enough and give Democrats even more opportunity to put their filth in positions of power to destroy this country one community at a time.

It's crazy enough it just might work.

58 Just keep in mind, no one was predicting SCOTUS would end Roe.
The consensus on the right was that they might trim around the edges but leave it largely intact.
I don't think anyone was predicting they would go as far as they did.

But they're getting lots of clicks now predicting SCOTUS will uphold birthright citizenship for illegals.

The theme of this Thomas Court (as Roberts abdicated after TX v. PA) is "strict interpretation of the law"
No emanations or penumbras. No "super precedent" binds us.
Rule on the legality, not the preferences for policy.
There is no hesitation to say prior courts and precedent got it flat wrong.

The Senate and House office building holding staffer were not considered as a target. Because the staffers, called Hill Rats locally in VA, do not aid in making America stronger. They are protected from foreign attacks for that reason.

The plane that went down had the Capital as the target, as you noted. One theory says the White House, using the Washington Monument as an aiming stake was the desired target. The White House would be harder to hit, as it is much less distinctive from the air compared with the Capital.

This kind of narrative deployment tells you that Mamdani (as we knew) was a plant and designed and *forced* into the political landscape. Same with Ramen noodle in Cali. I think we can expect a "big upset" "win" there too.

They're trying to create a story with weight that can combat Trump and MAGA because the Democrats have literally nothing. So they are filling the nothing gap with this supposed far left anti-establishment "for the People" meme... but of course it's all the same establishment pushing the same old claptrap. You think Nancy Pelousy and Cuckles Schumer are offended this new breed is coming so hard after Israel...?

Nothing new under the sun. And the way you know, is the way these anti-establishment types never seem to upset the apple cart the way Trump for example has. They don't go after their own with any real damaging fervor. They all stay within the "rules" because they are all owned and operated.

The harsh reality is that these cities will financially fail. And their state will have to bail them out - if they can. And there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth to get federal money to bail them out as well. We've seen that with NYC already. And we are almost at that point now with NYC (Gov. Hochul's state budget is trying to keep that city afloat).

But every time news outlets run the stories saying “polls show it’s a single digit race now! Is Abbott in trouble? “. Every single time. Polls everywhere are even worse than reading chicken entrails, but in Texas they’ve become laughably bad.

204 They have turned to *outward in your face* communism as opposed to hiding and sliming it in the way they always did, to compete with Trump's message, which totally overwhelmed the old guard of both parties.

So no of course the commie idiots haven't "turned" to communism as a response to Trump - but bringing it "out and proud" as a "new face of the party" was definitely a response. And that can be mistaken for some kind of ideological turn.

They didn't have to do this stuff to compete with the Jeb's of the world. Hell, the big players mostly still pretend to be "moderates" even now.

206 I would be worried about the socialist mayors IF I thought they were going to be successful - but look at the cities that have done so. Chicago, NYC, Seattle - businesses are fleeing, high income residents are fleeing, crime is soaring, and each one of them is now locked into the “doom loop” that guarantees failure and bankruptcy in the not too distant future. And they’ll never come back in any real way; like Detroit, they’ll just be fading names in our memory of places that once meant something.

Yeah, and the landscape is just going to keep moving that way. NY State is already dead, as is Illinois and California is racing to keep up. Assuming the GOP wins in 2028, electorally the dems have no hopes in the House or the WH until they adjust. The brand is immensely unpopular among most voters and the red/blue maps show increasingly small zones of blue control. They are shedding voters faster than their new victim groups can create.

Cuban sold controlling interest in the Mavericks and the new ownership IMMEDIATELY started screwing the Stars. A court battle ensued where the Stars lost. Cuban had ignored the contract item for decades as it wasn't really all that relevant. New owners disagreed.

Stars are moving because they're losing millions staying at the AAC. The Mavericks are trying to move to a new facility as they think gambling will become legal and they'll build a new facility with hotels and casinos surrounding it.

Or, they'll move to Vegas.

So, what you see is the Van Jones Solution of running Your Friendly Neighborhood, Totally Normal, Harmless and Cute Candidate who's actually a seething, hateful communist underneath and will bring as hard communism as they can in as short a time as they can. Examples? Spanberger in VA and Mandami in NYC and all of CA.

Those places will become election fraud central and almost impossible to claw back regardless of what the voters do.

Posted by: GMan at June 24, 2026 09:24 AM (DbRdT)

315 Gemini, why do gas prices take long to come down when oil price falls?

Replacement Cost Pricing: Gas station operators must price their current fuel based on what it will cost to refill their underground tanks. If wholesale crude prices spike, stations instantly raise pump prices to avoid selling at a loss.

Inventory Lag:

Stations must sell through the supply of more expensive fuel they already purchased before they can offer the cheaper, recently refined fuel to consumers.Consumer

Shopping Behavior: When gas prices are high, drivers actively search for cheaper stations, forcing retailers to fiercely compete and match lower prices. When prices drop, drivers become less motivated to search for deals, giving stations less pressure to lower their prices quickly.

341 Shopping Behavior: When gas prices are high, drivers actively search for cheaper stations, forcing retailers to fiercely compete and match lower prices. When prices drop, drivers become less motivated to search for deals, giving stations less pressure to lower their prices quickly.

This is weird. But then, I found a cheap place where I consistently pay less for gas. Always looking for deals.
Posted by: Cow Demon at June 24, 2026 09:30 AM (T6aVk)

It’s weird but people are weird.

Saving 10 cents a gallon whether gas is $5 or $2 is still 10 cents a gallon. But psychologically when gas is $5 that 10 cents savings means more even though paradoxically it’s less as a % saving.

351 fueled by a backlash to Trump policies, economic strain and fatigue with the Democratic establishment

There is a lot of fatigue with the GOP establishment, too. Enough that in both parties is the call "anyone but this current useless chair-warmer!" The problem, though, it that "anyone" is a far too broad characterization, while the party Mandarins are desperate to keep their status quo, so the "anyone" becomes drawn from a more radical and more maverick base.

It's odds-on that the "anyone but" is not going to be a positive change.

Daily Tech News 24 June 2026

Top Story

It was Prime Day again. Here are the deals you missed. (Tom's Hardware)

There was a reasonable price for the 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, but not on Amazon and the deal is over and they're out of stock.
For me, the deal of the day was on the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, cut from A$1000 to A$500. Also not on Amazon, but I scooped one up from local electronics chain JB Hifi.*

They also had the new Gen 5 model (the Gen 4 was a China exclusive), listed at A$1500. It's about 20% faster than the Gen 3 and has a 20% higher resolution screen, which is not enough to convince me to spend 200% more. Particularly since neither of those are issues with the Gen 3 anyway.

* Long time readers may recall that I bought one of these on sale last year. Yes. And now I will have two.

Tech News

The coming loop. (Pocoo)

This is a reaction to yesterday's article on AI becoming loopy, and points out that just because something may be inevitable doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.

First, who still uses Squid? Second, who still uses Mythos? Anthropic blocked all access to it.
Elon Musk's nefarious plan to deliver fast, affordable internet access to literally the entire planet. (The Verge)

The Verge seems to be Big Mad that Starlink is delivering on its promises rather than stealing tens of billions in taxpayer funds.
Not FSD but CDH. (Notebook Check)

The latest Tesla crash claimed to be an issue with automated self-driving mode again turns out to be driver error - FSD was disengaged and the accelerator was at 100% when the vehicle left the road and crashed into a house at 73 mph.
Meta has launched a line of ugly clunky smart glasses that are $80 cheaper and don't carry the Ray-Ban log. (The Verge)

Okay. Honestly I think these are pretty useful, even if jerks are determined to spoil everything for the rest of us.

The big red beast still runs impeccably and gets great mileage, but part of how I've kept this car up for seven years is by adhering to the manual's maintenance schedule. And plugs can get balky and hard to remove if you go too long between changes.

Maybe overvalued. Certainly priced for perfection. The biggest money losers are private for now, OpenAI and Anthropic are the most well known examples.

46 Last night, with nothing good on Movies!, we watched an Agatha Christie adaptation from '17, Crooked House, on DVD from the library. A nicely done period-piece film based on a novel from relatively late in her career, the 1950s. Glenn Close and Gillian Anderson head a solid cast. The ending is a thunderbolt, but the main detective (not Poirot or Miss Marple) does no real reasoning, and the revelation comes from a character's diary. And that thunderbolt echoes an Ellery Queen novel of the 1930s. Not bad, though.

The detective drives what he says is a "third-hand" car, a Bristol 405. I'd heard of the brand, but have rarely seen any examples. Think of a four-door, longer-wheelbase Aston Martin.

Cadillac, I think, is the only US manufacturer still providing more than one car or sedan for us to buy. Ford and Chrysler both offer only trucks and SUVs, except for the Mustang, and I think the Charger and Challenger -- though they may be gone too. I buy used, so GM has already gotten their money from the first owner.

If something happens to the LaCrosse, and I can't find a '17-'19 model in good shape, I'll either have to go Cadillac, or step over to a Toyota like an Avalon or Lexus ES; or maybe even to a Hyundai Genesis or Equus.

Back when my kidneys were going and dialysis was coming in the future, my wife wanted to go out to eat at a nice place, so we found a Peruvian restaurant.
We had this cool purple potato drink, ate beef hearts in tomato sauce, and had lucuma ice cream for dessert.
A few hours later, while in bed, my heart started beating 3 or 4 beats a second (200 or so beats a minute). Turned out each of the foods I had eaten were very high in potassium, and my kidneys weren't flushing it out fast enough...

94 Fen, the symptom of your cat not wanting to drink much doesn't sound like diabetes; that usually induces thirst. But if it is diabetes, that can be handled just as in humans.

They often recommend the light salt as a salt substitute, but it's understood that a person isn't going to down in it doses that would cause them to pass out like some bloggers we know.

They take my blood pressure at the dentist. WHY?

More reasonable is when they take my blood pressure at the clinic I go to. But that is entertaining. One time I was hungry so I ate a breakfast burrito before the appointment. Your stomach goes into action and your heart works a little harder to accommodate. BP goes up. The nurse (the NURSE, not "the provider", which is fucking stupid) takes the BP and it is something like 180/whatever. She's freaked. I look at her, the numbers, and say "no". She takes it again. "Well, it's going down so it's OK.

This is not an unheard of occurrence at marathons unfortunately. It’s usually the rookie runners; they’ve been told to “drink enough water stay hydrated” so they drink at every water station and it’s they’re first marathon they’re going quite slow… so they have enough time to overload on water and develop hyponatremia, which can kill you.

66 LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida. Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama. He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.

Reminds me of this recent Iowa case: June 2026: A federal jury awarded $105,000 to Tayvin Galanakis, an Iowa man who was wrongfully detained and arrested for DUI despite having a 0.00 blood alcohol content.

We do...when deployed to a combat zone. As much as I love all the perks of military service (as I fly with free luggage for showing my ID), at some point, it is just a job/career, and already pays pretty well, with full retirement at 20 years of service. At some point...it's enough.

He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money. His real job was being paid by the state as a poi farmer which grew naturally on his property. He literally did nothing other than let the state send people in to harvest it and cash checks.

My first car cost $1400. The cost of two curling irons. It did not have bluetooth though.

There is some weird shit happening on Amazon. I blame AI, and greed, but mostly greed. I was looking for a bearing separator. A common tool, been made for maybe a hundred years or so. Amazon had OTC (good USA brand) separators for maybe $110; a stiff price, but comparable to what Snap-On would charge, no doubt. But one Amazon seller had the same damned thing for $1071!!! WTF?

195 I liked new Dr Who until the "Midnight" episode (David Tennant). The episode itself is brilliant, one of the best Dr Who shows ever, and (tellingly) one that Russell Davies didn't want to air (despite the fact that he wrote it).

There's a line where one of the passengers asks the Dr why they should trust him, and he says "Because I'm clever." The other passengers object that they're not dullards, but the point was made...the New Who writers weren't interested in telling interesting stories, they wanted to show how clever they were in comparison to us idiotic viewers.

And that's where my interest died. Tried a few episodes after, but all I could see was the smugness. "Look how clever I am. Look how creative I am. Enjoy my genius, proles."

Posted by: nurse ratched

One of my most memorable vacation trips ever, when I was a teen, was when my father hired an Indian guide with some Navajo ponies back into the Canyon. There’s a whole network of dwellings back there that you can’t to except on horseback, and you have to hire a Navajo guide because parts of it are outside the Nat park and on their land.

Some of the dwellings are in surprisingly good states of preservation, because they’re so far back no one gets to them. The attitude of the Navajo guide at the ruins was interesting, and he obviously thought we were kind of nuts for wanting to go in. “Not our houses, not our people. Places of the dead.” was all he would say, and he was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of getting too close to them.

He's a former child magician -- very on point for a Dem politician, still professionally fooling people -- and insider wonk. That's an understatement. He's been an aide of various types -- chief of staff, director of policy, etc. -- to Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Kathy Hochul.

What won it for him (aside from Bloomberg's almost $10M) is that his main opponent, Alex Bores, is a former data scientist whose big achievement was sponsoring NY state's AI regulation, to take effect on Jan. 1. So, Bores's main selling point also drew organized opposition.

The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else).

People don't seem to understand this because they think about Paris in 1789 or Petrograd in 1917 when they think of revolution. But those revolutions didn't just benefit from two of the most inept governments before Keir Starmer's premiership, they had peasant support for a while (think 'the Great Terror in France and "Land, Peace and Bread" with the Bolsheviks). Even the Nazis started off with rural East Prussia as their electoral stronghold. Wholly urban revolutions don't work and invariable get crushed. If support for the Spanish Republic had been confined to Madrid and Barcelona as popular memory would have people believe, the Nationalists wouldn't even have had to appoint Franco as their leader. But southern peasants were literal Anarchists!

242 I saw the most amazing piece of horsemanship I’ll ever see on that trip, right in front of me. One of the riders with us was a girl of about 20 or 21, who was clearly experienced with horses, and was also very cute, in an athletic way. I was about 14 and was completely enamored with her, of course. I was following her, and her pony was skittish that day (for no good reason) as we came back down into a dry river bed, that pony decided his saddle bothered him so with no warning he threw himself on his back, to try and get the saddle off or something.

Obviously she could have been badly hurt or even killed by this, and probably should have been. But I remember like it was yesterday, (and I had the best view of anyone) that as that horse went down she smoothly and instantly brought her right foot up to the saddle and launched herself off his back, going into a sweet tuck and roll and landing unscathed a few feet away. Sandy river bottom, so no harm done.
We were pissed at the horse (I think he was moved to pack duty) but mostly we just stood with our mouths open at how effortless she made saving her life look.

254 I actually prefer that Democrats start nominating actual loony commies, especially in blue areas where they will win anyway.

Since the 1930s, Democrats have consistently had a voter registration advantage over Republicans. Even when Nixon and Reagan were winning 49 state victories, there were way more Democrats than Republicans. That advantage has shrunk considerably in the age of Trump, and given how many red states don't have party registration, it might no longer exist.

One of the reasons why Democrats had a structural advantage for so long was that their party was a hodgepodge. You could have George McGovern and George Wallace in the same primary in the same year (1972). Even "moderate" Joe Biden got by playing this game of being something to everyone (especially low info types). Crazy people who wear their policy proposals on their sleeve (and invariable excuse street violence) end the game of pretending to be moderate and then acting radical. You don't get Spanburgers if DSA types win all the primaries.

266 257 Try looking closely at precinct results for elections. Or look at the more detailed crosstabs of exit poll.

First, white women are Republicans and have been so since at least 2012. The wine aunt karen is a thing, but she seems much more notable than she really is because she is so darn loud.

Second, old suburbs around cities have become more leftist, but if you get a few miles further out you get ruby red territory. In my state "old growth" suburbs from the 1950s went Democratic even as minority turnout and voting favored Democrats less (and newer suburbs and exurbs became ever more Republican under Trump).

Third, when you take away the college educated (who are not and are not likely to ever be an absolute majority of voters), all sub-groups other than black women are getting more rather than less Republican.

Four, people don't understand policy. They'll claim to support things they end up voting against. A recent YouGov survey was absurdly lopsided towards Democrats, and all the cross-tabs claimed that nobody supported Trump's policies. Yet even in this crap survey, the midterm result was D+3, which might keep the House red.

Because active duty shouldn't be taxed in the first place. Because it would be one hell of an inducement not to be an idiot while serving to maintain that same tax exempt status when you leave.

Also, because it would be another step towards freeing everyone.

280 Blacks are already out of favor with the Left and still don't know it. So there is much hijinks to come.

I warned we were headed straight toward Palestine East over two years ago when everyone was still arguing over trannies. And I warned about trannies years before that when everyone was still looking at CRT. Unfortunately, I see a lot.

On the brighter side it lets me see some of the more entertaining things, too. You are going to see real racism against blacks in this country like it hasn't experienced in 60 years. We have been primed for it - same way the country was primed to let women and girls go to hell. They have no idea what's coming.

As someone who has been in the education system for over 20 years now (un-unionized, proudly), the idea that these guys are great at brain-washing people is bizarre to me. The biggest union shills are exceptionally lazy and entitled. They can and sometimes do get their students to parrot back their views, but it's about as impactful as that British teacher in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" having his students repeat the definition of an acre back to him.

Not that the education system shouldn't be revamped. It should. End the credentialism based on degrees and make teacher training entirely about managing a classroom. Then encourage burned out middle-aged professionals to transition to teaching once they've learned some methods. Teacher "training" now is all crap theory taught by people with less than five years in the classroom. The TikToks showing HS grads who can't read a sentence are the result. Such people don't even vote, unless they think they are personally getting what whig called their "cheese".

I don't understand this pessimism. Almost no states even allowed concealed carry in the 1980s. Now more than half the states allow it without a permit. How is this right being gradually lost?

The biggest problem facing concealed carry permit holders is that if you ever have to use it in a blue enclave, even if the other person is a criminal with a track record, the authorities will do everything they can do to put YOU away

Democrats have thrown a sea of Stepin Fetchits into the public eye and the "fatigue" is going to turn to curdled milk with no one there to ameliorate. Democrats made people forget it was *white Christians* who fixed the whole racism problem in the first place - it wasn't done by black demand like they pretend.

Unfortunately, "most Blacks just want to live their lives" makes me really uneasy. I hate to say it, but "living their lives" seems to mean work the system, commit low-level crimes, take drugs, pump out babies etc and none of that needs some ideological gloss. If BLM helps them, fine, but they don't give a fvck about any ideology beyond "Give me mine."

Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.

Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court.

We spend so long in the Left's sea of deception we miss the obvious.

I don’t touch the students. At all. For any reason. Problem solved.

But I do see your point. I knew teachers who joined unions for that reason. (I’d replace unions with legal insurance for that reason alone.). It didn’t help that in my one year (so far) we had an administrator who gave no fucks about discipline, though he’d happily bitch out the teachers.

Which is par for the course, and I know how things go so I don't care, but I thought I'd gripe about it anyway. Just to leave another comment. I'm about to clock out for the night, so you still have a short window to ignore me some more.

A kind of nice tribute to the very influential Stan the Man. ~3min. Actually got to meet and talk with him once one-on-one chance encounter outside ChicagoCon. Graciously patient and nice to MiladyJo, our kids, and me. Memorable.

339 I keep saying, ~10 years after Sowell passes, his books and ideas will be discovered by some newly awakened generation of Blacks who will stagger blinking into the light and asking, "Why didn't you tell us about this guy when he was alive?"
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 24, 2026 12:20 AM (XJ22o)

Nope, it will happen like this. They’ll read it and say “This guy’s a genius! He’s on a speaking tour, right? Or autographing books, or…”

I stop him or her. “No. Dr. Sowell came, wrote his books, did his speaking, and now…he’s gone. No more. What you see is all you are going to get.”

Then the tears will start.

As Nightwish says in the song “Bless The Child”, one of my favorite lines, ever: “Why am I loved only when I’m gone?”

I was witness, this is how unions got a toe/tow hold.
Early seventies frivolus lawsuits were being brought against teachers (this was planned) and liberal judges, instead of admonishing lawyers for insulting the court, were allowing them to come forward. - Here's the kicker.- When the teachers asked the administration to support them, Administration said, No, you are independent professionals you are on your own.

Then the union walked in and said, join me, I will support you. I will provide you with good lawyers. And they did.

341 Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and “all deportations are wrong”, including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an “effing disgrace”, and said in a prior social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”

So…she hates the country, but wants to be in its government, and wants millions of people to flood what she calls an “effing disgrace”. If this were so, pray tell, why do so many want to come here?

I can’t even with this nonsense.

It's like the orbit of a planet. There is a perfect circle then there is something that veers out side the circle.
Per Search Assist: An elliptical orbit is a type of orbit that has an eccentricity of less than 1, meaning it is shaped like an elongated circle or ellipse. This includes circular orbits, which have an eccentricity of 0, and is the path followed by planets and other celestial bodies around a central mass, such as the Sun.

As in, there is a group of like minded people , '... and to the Republic for which it stands' - a perfect circle. Then there are 33% who will always be saying , regardless of the group (it could be Straw's yacht club), 'ya but'.

There will always be 33%, ya, but's.

2 or 3 decades ago, everyone scoffed at the idea that could ever happen in Texas; but now it’s been 30 years since any Dem has won a statewide office, and their odds are getting less likely with time, not more.

This isn’t because the Texas GOP is so good; it’s awful. It’s because the Texas Dems are so bad!
If I would name the point where they ceased being a serrious contender here, it would be about 20 years ago when the chairman of the Texas Dems Party made a well publicized speech and said that from that point on, they were going to be the Brown and Black Party. And they didn’t need or want any white votes at all.

My guess, but this is purely a guess, is that he’ll stay until just after the midterms, then he’ll resign to start putting a campaign together.

Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz

Yes, it's a *heavy* drink, LOL! In the overseas military clubs, we were only allowed a 1/2 shot of each booze due to a limit on total amount of alcohol in a single drink. Heh. Still kicked ass! Recipes vary slightly...

Posted by: JQ at June 24, 2026 12:56 AM (rdVOm)

Thats my go to when you want to get ripped fast. I had them at places that made them so strong you were only allowed 2. My best long island ice tea story was in texas in the early 2000's. I was there for a guitar show, and we were in an Outback, which for some reason made them nuclear strong. I got one in a 16 ounce mug, and it was strong. The waitress says " you know hon, we have them in a 20 ounce mug too". Well now, I'll take it. Damn I got hammered. The waitress later comes to clean up and reaches for that hug mug. I snatched it up fast, held it up and yelled "This is my war trophy!". She says "you can keep that mug hon". Its sitting in my kitchen cabinet as we speak. lol

Just reading, 40 people drowned in France last week. Why? People, including a little girl who couldn't swim, are jumping into bodies of water like crazy.

And why are they doing that, you might ask? There's a big heat dome over Europe, pushing temps up to the 100s in various places.

And you know the Euroweenie elite don't want the peasants to have air conditioning. It causes global warming, you know. And they are blaming human caused CO2 emissions for it, of course.

I couldn't believe how strong the outback was making those things, of all places. I swear the second one was stronger than the first. In an average place I could do 2 and be ok. I wouldn't have wanted to drive after the first one, and barely could walk after the second. We had diner at another place the next night and I ordered one, and it looked like they made it in a vase. It was like 16" tall with a fluted top. They had dinner rolls the size of small asteroids. I remember saying to the table that they weren't frigging kidding when they say everything is big in Texas. I only had 1 that night. 2 vases worth would have pushing it. lol

With my fascination of late with the Younger Dryas event, the current "warming" crap looks ridiculous. Look up a graph of the Greenland ice core going back to the late Pleistocene before the Event.

Rapid warming, followed by rapid cooling (and Biblical level flooding as ice sheets melted and sea level rose). That late to the current epoch, dubbed the Holocene. Now look at the end, the present compared to that.

Somewhere around 9ishK to 5K ya, the average temp was several degrees higher than it is now. They used to call that the Holocene climate optimum. The warmies don't like that term and you don't see it much any more.

She also returned home to drop off both her work and personal phones - which were later found wiped clean of all data. Her skeletal remains were discovered nearly a year later next to a handgun her family has stated did not belong to her. No bullet was recovered despite reports of a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigator Morgan Wright put it plainly: "You don't get slumped up on a tree... Most of the time, in every crime scene I've worked on, there are skeletonized remains, and there's no connective tissue left. Everything's on the ground in pieces."

I have gradually formed a hypothesis, which I will be putting into words for the first time, to see how they taste. Like yours, it also has the potential to be confirmed or invalidated right after the midterms.

Theory: Trump's near-term plan is to out-crazy the Mad Mullahs into at least November, with whiplash from wild rhetoric not matching any tangible action.

Reason: To be a substitute for concrete action that could drive gas prices up, since losing the House would cost The Donald two years of histrionic investigations and impeachments, preventing much of anything from getting done for the rest of his term-limited time in office.

Consequence: That single portfolio had to be handed off (to VP Vance), since talking wild nonsense at Iran would undermine SoS Rubio's credibility with everyone else. It is one hat that he cannot wear with his others.

A lot of the hostility to the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis has to do with the Church of the Anthropogenic Climate Change Cult. When you look at how fast the climate can change, and caused by factors so beyond human control that it's laughable, it makes their whole agenda look stupid.

The other reason is they don't like a lot of the proponents (including Graham Hancock).

I was listening to a podcast the other day with Marc Defant, a big geologist and volcanologist at the University of South Florida. He was originally very hostile to the Younger Dryas Impact theory, and thought volcanic activity was the likely cause of the YD cataclysms.

Then he got to looking at the evidence objectively. He is now in the Impact camp, and joined the Comet Research Group, the main group studying this, headed by Allen West.

He admitted that it was just Graham Hancock using that that he didn't like. But, objectively, that has nothing to do with if Atlantis or some ancient civilization before actually existed or not (and he still doubts that very strongly).

He could beat the YDIH, so he joined it.
