James Talarico Super PAC Caught Paying $25 Per Vote -- and Admitting Doing It on Hidden Camera Video
Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, was caught on video dishing on the scheme they hope will propel Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico to victory in November. "We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things," McAdams says in the undercover video. "So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially." It's very much like that, as a matter of fact.In the video, McAdams says it's called a "paid relational program," which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. The theory is voters will be persuaded more by friends and family than a stranger showing up at their door. "You can't pay someone to vote for someone," McAdams says in the video. "You can't be like, 'Here's $25, go vote for me.' You can say, 'Attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25.' And then the class just talks about the importance of... It's a little gray," he continues, apparently referring to the legality of the activity. "If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, that's shady as f**k."Correct. It is shady as f***, and I am in fact pissed.

British Medical Journal: The FDA and CDC Used a Faulty Algorithm to Understate Vaccine Injuries. When One Researcher Pointed Out the Flaw, She Was Told to Mind Her Own Business.
I'm not willing to assume "just an accidental oversight."
In fact, I'm very much assuming enemy action.
Adam Urato, MD
@AdamUrato1
Must-read investigative article in The BMJ. Clear safety signals of Covid vaccine harms (in red below) were missed by FDA & CDC by using a flawed method where the harms went undetected. "The agency's PRR analyses--examined by The BMJ--show that hundreds of types of adverse events met the agency's criteria for a signal" (including myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, and tinnitus.) The FDA doctor who alerted them to the flawed safety system was muzzled. "She was told, with diplomatic flourish, to back off."
It doesn't appear to be "more robust." What it appears to be is deliberately crippled to hide vaccine injuries.
US officials knew covid vaccine safety system was flawed--but turned aside the FDA doctor who alerted them US officials embraced an algorithm for detecting signals of harm from mRNA covid-19 vaccines that they knew was broken and suppressed efforts to fix it. David Willman reports: Before covid-19 vaccines were rolled out to Americans in December 2020, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assured healthcare providers that the agency was on the lookout for any harmful reactions. A key part of the CDC's strategy was its Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which receives such reports after vaccination. "It is the nation's frontline system for monitoring vaccine safety and the early warning system for detecting possible vaccine safety problems," said Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of CDC's Immunization Safety Office, on 30 October 2020. Millions of people were to be vaccinated each week, and the CDC would rely on statistical "data mining" of the VAERS database to quickly identify any safety signals in need of further probing. Two well recognised, separate algorithms were to be used. The first involved calculating "proportional reporting ratios" (PRRs), which sought to identify types of reactions reported to VAERS disproportionately or more frequently than background rates. The second data mining technique, called "empirical bayesian," was to be provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which operated VAERS jointly with the CDC, and the two agencies planned to share and discuss results. But in a little noticed September 2022 letter, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said that the agency did not perform PRR analyses for signals until 2022. This was more than a year into the vaccine rollout and was intended, she wrote, "to corroborate" the FDA's approach. Instead of using the PRR and empirical bayesian methods jointly during the pandemic, Walensky explained that both the CDC and FDA instead "chose to rely" on empirical bayesian, which she characterised as "a more robust technique."
If I understand the next section, I believe they are saying the FDA's and CDC's faulty algorithm compared covid "vaccine" VAERS reports to all VAERS reports, and would only flag the "vaccines" as problematic if they showed many more VAERS reports than all other reports. But the problem is -- and this should have been obvious -- that 90% of the public was "vaccinated" with the covid "vaccines," so if you compared "vaccine" incident rates to all reported incident rates -- they were practically the same number. The FDA and CDC used an algorithm to detect a covid "vaccine" signal against the sea of all other incidents, but covid "vaccines" were so common, numbering the many tens of millions, that covid "vaccine" incidents were the sea they were checking against. It's like a Venn diagram where the circles almost completely overlap. If you're comparing "vaccine" incidents to "background" incidents but "vaccine" incidents make up 90% of the background, everytime you check, you'll find that "vaccine" incidents are very similar to "background" incidents, because "background" incidents are made up mostly of vaccine "incidents." And thus, they kept claiming: We don't see any pronounced spike of "vaccine" incidents compared to all other incidents, without telling you that the background data they were checking against was mostly covid "vaccine" data.
The BMJ, however, has found that the FDA's algorithm was mathematically compromised by the deluge of covid vaccine adverse event reports--resulting in a near total loss of signal detection sensitivity for the new mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna. Top FDA officials were warned internally of this problem in early 2021, and the official who headed its pharmacovigilance division for vaccines commented more than two years later to his CDC and FDA colleagues: "We were aware of this [data mining] limitation before and during the pandemic." Government documents also show that CDC officials were informed during rollout of the vaccines--on multiple occasions. Yet instead of fixing the safety deficiency--or shutting down the unreliable signal detection system--officials continued to rely on the FDA's broken algorithm. The officials also cited the absence of signals when assuring clinicians and the public of the vaccines' safety. At the FDA, managers went a step further by silencing the career drug safety officer who had repeatedly brought the deficiency to their attention and had offered an updated algorithm intended to fix it. As a result, Americans received unfounded assurances of the safety of the most widely used covid vaccines and were denied prompt warnings of potential harms, The BMJ's investigation found.
...
"I'm perplexed that myocarditis isn't alerting" In late February 2021, CDC and FDA officials received notice of "a large number of reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people," after vaccination. The warnings of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) came from the Israeli Ministry of Health. In a private meeting five weeks later, the Israelis informed a CDC convened covid vaccine safety committee that two of the 77 vaccinated people with myocarditis or pericarditis had died. The next week, the same committee heard from the Pentagon's Defense Health Agency, which reported a "cluster of cases" of myocarditis among male US military members. US public health officials remained sceptical of a link to the new mRNA vaccines. "We have not seen a signal [for myocarditis], and we've actually looked intentionally for the signal in the over 200 million doses we've given," CDC director Walensky told reporters. By May 2021, VAERS had received hundreds of reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after covid vaccinations, and the CDC began alerting healthcare professionals. While the agency was still unsure of a causal relationship, it decided to alert physicians more broadly through a "clinical considerations" web posting. But oncologist Peter Marks, who as director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research was the agency's top covid vaccine regulator, objected. He questioned the CDC's imminent website announcement, emailing Walensky directly, highlighting the lack of any safety signal from the government's own surveillance: "We still have concerns here [at the FDA] if myocarditis and pericarditis have not actually signaled . . . Can you help me understand why we are doing this when pediatricians and others in the community already seem to be aware?" ... Still, VAERS reports continued to mount, with myocarditis attracting the greatest attention. In a June 2021 public presentation, the CDC's Shimabukuro showed that, for young males (age 12-24), VAERS had received between 29 and 347 times more myocarditis and pericarditis reports than the agency expected based on background incidence rates. In a public statement that day, the CDC dubbed myocarditis an "extremely rare side effect." Government records show that, the day before his presentation, Shimabukuro had received the FDA's latest data mining report--and it continued to show no signal. "I'm perplexed that myocarditis isn't alerting for either of the mRNA vaccines," Shimabukuro emailed a colleague.
Early warnings The BMJ can reveal that the FDA's algorithm failed to signal a potential relationship between mRNA covid vaccination and myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, tinnitus, and other reported disorders owing to a flaw in the detection methodology--a flaw that senior officials declined to rectify.
And I wonder if this "masking" effect was accidental, or intended. Imagine if you wanted to see if covid was affecting ethnic Chinese people more than non-ethnic Chinese people. In China. So you compare the rates of ethnic Chinese people in China to all people in China, and find that there is no difference between ethnic Chinese people and all people in China. But your data for "all" people in China is 95% ethnic Chinese! Of course you found no difference in the rates of infection! You're comparing Data Set A to Data Set A + 5% other data and finding the two are barely different at all! No more than 5% different, in fact! Not statistically significant!
The problem arose because, in the first year of the rollout, almost all the reports coming into VAERS--more than 90% of 1.1 million--were for the mRNA covid shots, dwarfing vaccines for all other diseases. This meant that analysing the safety of one vaccine, for example Pfizer's product, involved comparing it to other vaccines, which were overwhelmingly limited to Moderna's product. But if both mRNA vaccines elevated the risk of an adverse event like myocarditis in roughly equal amounts, the "observed" frequency and "expected" frequency would be similar, resulting in no automated alert. The statistical phenomenon is known as "masking."
I would say "incredible" but we have seen again and again that 90% of the output from government, from NGOs, from academia, from corporations is pure fraud on the public.
Szarfman and DuMouchel, who earned his PhD at Yale and by 2010 became chief statistician at Oracle Health Sciences, judged that the unique circumstances of the pandemic meant that the FDA's approach was missing safety signals... "Regarding the NYT article, I am quite concerned," Szarfman emailed Marks two days later. She wrote that the agency should be "clamoring to fix this problem." < Szarfman concluded, "Let me know if you want Bill DuMouchel and I to discuss our proposal for more effective monitoring, including the need to use an updated algorithm by DuMouchel for data mining spontaneous reports." ... Marks and his staff, however, declined to alter the FDA's existing approach--and agency officials did not publicly warn of the deficiency with finding safety signals. When Szarfman continued to press the matter, she was told, with diplomatic flourish, to back off. That email, sent on 7 May 2021, by Craig Zinderman, associate director for medical policy in FDA's Office of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, began: "Good Afternoon Ana, Thank you again for talking with us back in March about your work exploring new data mining approaches . . . We are writing to kindly ask you to please hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses using covid-19 vaccine AE [adverse event] data."

-vaccine manufacturers could offload a costly, dangerous R&D project that did not work out for it's intended purpose at premium, government subsidized prices.
-Doctors got kickbacks. Politicians got kickbacks. Bureaucrats got kickbacks.
The truly astounding thing is I am not sure there is a good historical parallel. This is a nexus in a lot of different things: widespread testing of a dangerous medication. Government covered it up. This is far worse than even the Tuskegee Syphilis thing.
Maybe Thalidomide? Mercury for Syphilis treatment?
But I can't think of one where it was a bad treatment but the government not only covered it up, but tried to wholesale force it on everyone.

And if you have suffered damages as a result of the 'vaccine', there is no recourse. Pharma companies cannot be sued as a result. If only there was a legislative body that can remove shielding laws preventing legal recourse for injured consumers.

Trump pushed for a vaccine in Operation Warp Speed, knowing FULL WELL, after being cured of it in a f*cking weekend, that it wasn't necessary. He pushed to bypass all the standard regulatory guidelines so he could have it before his term ended. It was ready, but they didn't want him credited with it. But no one blames Biden for any of it. And he forced it on the masses.

This is very similar to an issue RFK keeps bringing up -- they do this for all vaccines -- they compare to another vaccine to verify safety and efficacy. RFK wants a control and has been harping on about that for many years. The industry does not want a control because they claim it is unnecessary but in reality, they are just using a bad product to mask for the net iteration.

The guy in charge of Republican money more than anyone else, James Blair, was one of the key figures in the 2024 election.

It's all about base turnout now since only 3 House races that the GOP won in 2024 Trump also lost (it was 25 in 2018 ). Just get those voters to turnout at decent midterm numbers, and bob's your uncle.
We'll see.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the NC senate seat specifically, the House generally, but I'm certain we'll keep the senate majority.

Pneumonia is a serious risk for invalids, because they can't move around enough to keep their lungs clear. So I don't plan to get a pneumonia shot unless I lose my ability to walk. If that happens, I will reassess.

When Mayor Wu was elected in Boston she threatened vaxports to go restaurants.
Government stats said 90% of Bostonians and 80% of Massholes were clot shotted.
She had an AMA right after this - every comment was demanding she resign (which points pretty strongly at voter fraud too), but she planned to go ahead until the Boston restaurant lobby group told her to expect most restaurants would go bankrupt if she did
Now remember at the time the FNM was screaming unclot shotted people would give you COVID even if you had the clot shot and that you couldn't get it from "the vaccinated". SO it would be fair to expect they'd get more of the 90% then they'd lose of the 10% doesn't it?
Unless, of course that number was significantly lower then 90%...

But the latter warming to hold off on finding warning signals in VAERS data implies willful ignorance at least.

Sean Trende was defending the RCP aggregate on X the other day.
Outright saying that completely contradictory polling that couldn't possibly align should be treated equally, even if the polling firm has a long history of misses.
The idea of the aggregate is okay, but it requires only, you know, good inputs. If you're knowingly inputting Quinnipac, which is garbage, well, you're going to get garbage out.

The CDC says it reduces flu symptoms which cuts against the actual concrete mortality data which says it does not.
Non-CDC data says the impact is real but extremely minimal which would bridge the gap between those two data sets if you assume the CDC is cherry picking for higher effectiveness.
So my take? It isn't worth the time to go to your DR and expose yourself to likely other flu carriers but the shot itself won't harm you like the clot shot.

A discarded Tesla Powerwall set a garbage truck on fire in Citrus Heights, California
That's 100% on the asshole throwing away a HUGE rechargeable battery. Every garbage collection company tells you not to throw away batteries, ESPECIALLY rechargeable batteries. You're supposed to take them to a household hazardous waste collection site. And that's typically just phone batteries. A freaking powerwall, especially one that hasn't been fully discharged, is incredibly dangerous to throw in the garbage.

I still think the safe bet is that Democrats take the House, but with a majority of like 3-5.
So, Jeffries can't do anything of consequence other than theater, and he probably will have trouble getting pro-forma impeachment stuff passed on the floor, not like if he did it would matter since the Senate will still be controlled by the GOP.
And not even Mitch took impeachment efforts seriously, and Thune is better than Mitch.

So someone looking at clot shot side effects sees how bad they are but turns on the news and sees that COVID is killing 10% of the people that get it and decides "heart damage later is better then dying now" so he hides his data
Meanwhile someone research COVID mortality sees that is nowhere near what the government is claiming but see the clot shot has no side effects whatsoever so...why not fudge the numbers to get people vaccinated so we can "get back to normal"?

Pharma has gotten very good at stuff like this, exaggerating the benefits and suppressing the risks with a lot of statistical razzle-dazzle.
Basically, the don't look at what they don't want to look at, and hide that in all the razzle-dazzle.
See the lasted on Tamiflu. Turns out that actually does way more harm than good for patients very sick and hospitalized with flu. After all these years, the finally did a proper study, and found more of the Tamiflu treated group died than a non-Tamiflu group. And it was like pulling teeth to finally get that study done.

Whatley is as responsible for the turnaround of the RNC in 2024 as anyone else.
I remember establishment friendly voices against his appointment to cochair the RNC because he was "obsessed with the steal" of 2020 and wouldn't actually do anything to win other than complain about past sins.
There have also been some changes at the state level, like new election laws and forcing all police agencies in the state to participate in the 287g program with DHS, which should help drive out some illegals and suppress the 6% who probably vote every election, both passed over governor Stein's veto because the NC state legislature has a veto proof GOP majority.

Hell, Cooper is actually polling worse against Whatley than Cunningham did in 2020 against Tillis, and Cunningham lost to Tillis in a...suspicious year of elections.
So, we'll see.

Small world story. Whatley's wife is an old friend of a friend. Many moons ago when I was a young lieutenant on TDY to Bragg for a couple weeks, my friend let her know and she and her family were kind enough to invite me out to their place for a weekend. Very nice folks.

This is actually the legal attack that needs to be made.
The shots were never vaccines, they were gene modification therapies... and since they are NOT vaccines, should not be covered under the law that protects vaccine makers from lawsuits.

Then you've got the Hollow Earth where the big hole to get inside is down there somewhere (and also up around the north pole too).
And then you've got the Flat Earth ice wall stuff. And they all sort of get all that mixed up themselves. Even the Flat Earthers sometimes have holes in the Flat Pizza doing stuff.

I remember watching that scene where the cabin is filling up with water, and the two main characters are yelling back an forth to each other while trying to get out.

Or, he went down there to find the entrance to the Hollow Earth. Or he went down there to go over the Ice Wall encircling the Flat Earth, and explore all the Secret Continents beyond.

THE MORNING RANT: By the Logic of Free Traders, Shouldn't Trump's Tariffs Be Good for Canada and its Consumers
• Elimination up to 20% of jobs in many industries, including apparel and electrical equipment
• Devastation of Canada’s liquor industry.
• Serious harm to agriculture, especially Canada’s dairy industry
• Devastation of British Columbia’s lumber industry The same free traders who cheered for the shuttering of American industry are suddenly worried about Canada, and defending Canada’s need to impose retaliatory tariffs. Go figure. It’s almost as if the abiding principal of “principled free traders” is that they are anti-American globalists who embrace economic policies that harm America while benefiting other countries. Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, just stated that tariffs are necessary to protect Canada, arguing that the cost of tariffs “don’t come close to the cost of standing still.” Free traders swooned in concurrence with PM Carney. “The Editors” at National Review defended Canadian retaliatory tariffs, arguing that it was a necessary escalation by Canada because the U.S. tariffs are a “blow for Canadian exporters.” This is the same National Review that repeatedly argues for giving China unfettered, tariff-free access to the American market, irrespective of China’s trade barriers against American exports. Why would NR make this argument? Because, tariffs are a tax on American consumers, of course. Strangely, that same logic doesn’t apply to Canadian consumers when Canada is tariffing American products due to a trade war. It’s almost as if the underlying “principal” among the “free traders” isn’t actually free trade, rather it is a globalist, America-last attitude that seeks to harm the U.S. economically for the benefit of other countries.

He went on to say, “Let's hope trade doesn't get ‘fair’ for us any time soon.” Mr. Harsanyi even expresses his ideal of zero U.S. steel production, dismissing the argument that a domestic steel industry is necessary for national defense.
Steel is still a good example, but chips are a better one. Should we allow China to simply take over any market they desire, using dumping and other strategies incompatible with an actual free market? What happens when we run out of missiles during an attack? What happens to the overall economy when the Chinese deny us the chips it relies on? Harsanyi doesn't seem concerned, but I am.
I guess one has to break a whole lot of eggs to make Harsanyi's omelet.

America has been the world's daddy since WWI, we made it undeniably clear after WWII.
Everything since has been about countering the American hegemony. Pitiful examples of countries banding together to hen peck America into giving up its well-earned power on the geopolitical stage because no one else wants to do the hard work of actually building up a counterweight when they can just talk America into paying them to henpeck their benefactor.

Windsor Ontario has a big brewery I used to pive near.
I barely shop so I haven't noticed much yet. But as it is, I don't know how anyone with a family making less than $100,000 makes it.
And realistically, we should have rolled over. Actually, this shouldn't even be happening. There's thinking that Carney is doing all this to hurt Trump in the midterms.
Destroying Canadian livelihoods is a price they're willing to pay.
I can't control it, just my reaction and I choose to let it go and handle my stuff.

Basically comes down to who has the most flexibility and leverage within a supply chain. If you're an essential part and the cost affects all your competitors, it'll get passed on to the customer, but if there's competition limiting your ability to raise prices you bear the burden.

"I don’t know quite how to ask this question, but I suspect that a lot of Americans are about to, so I’ll put it as directly as I can: Are Canadians stupid?
A recent poll found that a majority of Canadians, including a whopping three-quarters of Quebecers, believe that U.S. foreign policy was the root cause of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This shouldn’t be so shocking; their previous prime minister, Jean Chretien, said practically the same thing a few years back (which I wrote about in NRO here.) In other words, they believe that the Americans brought 9/11 on themselves."

Kamala Harris to Hit the Campaign Trail With Michigan Senate Nominee Abdul El-Sayed
El-Sayed should read this article before he does that.
More Humiliating News for Kamala Harris
The donor class certainly won’t bet on her again. She lost every swing state in 2024 despite raising and spending more than $1 billion to do it. Sorry, they’ll bet on someone else. Anyone else.
Now we’re learning that Democrat Party insiders knew Kamala was a losing bet before she ever got the job. Internal 2024 polling ranked her dead last among the candidates being considered to replace Joe Biden atop the ticket.
Lindy Li, a longtime Democrat fundraiser who worked on both the Biden campaign and Kamala's, watched it happen up close. Li ... lays out what she saw in her new book, Unburdened, which covers the months leading up to Biden's withdrawal from the race. "The polling numbers went directly against the narrative that the party wanted to espouse," Li said.
Party members floated Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer internally as replacements. According to Li, every one of them tested better than Kamala.

Everything we do involves the bribery of our politicians. But that's not all of it.
We started, about 15 minutes after the close of WW II, about the global business of trying to buy the world's loyalty through unfavorable trade deals. We built that habit over five decades.
When the USSR fell ? We never stopped.
The fall of the USSR, and our subsequent refusal to change behaviors and eliminate agencies created precisely for the Cold War, explains so, so much of why we're where we are.

Mercantilism is the way to go, as every other nation does. Either that or war, which many nations seem to enjoy. And when do we get back the billions Somalis have already stolen from our "generous" (socialist) health care system? Fraud and cartels run their own "economic systems".
Posted by: illiniwek at September 18, 2026 11:24 AM (vbXSk)
The way to think about it is in terms of economic integration. Countries with which you have free trade(or relatively free trade) have integrated economies with yours. You also have indirect integration to economies they have free trade with(corresponding to the degree of freedom).
Small countries must necessarily trade and specialize. There's a lot of important questions, like "is this country likely to be my enemy in the future", "is this country a reliable source of supply or unstable", "is the supply chain defensible or vulnerable to wars/piracy" etc.
Additionally you'd also want the basis for the trade to be something beyond labor arbitrage. As in, "this country has accessible resources we do not", or at least a specialization of some sort it makes sense to outsource rather than develop internally.

Tariffs often affect consumers less than taxes because it's been shown that many importers will eat the tariff costs rather than pass them on in order to stay competitive.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at September 18, 2026 11:10 AM (+a7XK)
Also affects business to business sales, but somewhat differently. A lot of suppliers and official distributors will add on a tariff charge as a separate line item on the invoice, to avoid having to change their price structure in violation of manufacturer agreements for a particular product. I run into this all the time.

They think a trade deal with Europe makes sense because it's only a few hours away as they only ever travel there via airplane.
So they've no way to conceptualize that it's farther. That the goods they ship to the US in a few hours will now take a few days.
Almost no one in the world wants to admit that the US would crush any country--militarily and economically--but for the handcuffs we've put on ourselves.

BBC - Lindsay Clancy holdout juror says he had no doubt she deliberately killed her children
"Patrick Clancy, the children's father and Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband, is due to speak publicly about the case in an interview with the CBS programme 60 Minutes on Sunday.
In it, he is expected to discuss his grief, his memories of his children and the conspiracy theories that have flooded social media since the trial began."

There is a huge difference in flavor profiles of Scotch. Anything from Islay is definitely an acquired taste. Speysides are the most approachable IMO, especially for a novice drinkers. As for bourbon, some of the cask-strength releases are approaching hazmat territory.

George Bellows
A very nice week of art. Thanks. Though some may say today's selection is missing mermaids and at least one dog, imo it's a fine one & it would likely hang.
So, is there a link?
Yes. Again from the Carter Handbook, 2023, and credited to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas:
"Although best known as a painter of gritty urban scenes, Bellows created more than 250 seascapes, most portraying the Atlantic Coast in Maine. But he turned his attention to the Pacific in 1917, when his family vacationed in the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on the northern tip of Big Sur. There, he created this work, one of his last major ocean paintings.
Bellows was fascinated by the bright colors of the Pacific, and he relied on a jewellike palette of brilliant blues, greens, purples, pinks, and ochres to render water crashing against a rocky coastline. He considered the sea one of the most challenging subjects to paint, and the lone angler maneuvering his line may symbolize the struggle of the artist as he grappled with his chosen subject."
Good weekend!

From smalldeadanimals, so our trade war is going great! We're led by the best and brightest.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s summit urging global investors to “Choose Canada” was produced by an American events firm — despite Carney recently pledging that Ottawa would contract Canadian companies and hire Canadian workers.
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit in Toronto brought together investors who manage more than $100 trillion in assets from nearly 30 countries as part of Carney’s push to catalyze $1 trillion in investment over five years.
Analysts say over $1 trillion in investment abandoned Canada
But the summit’s producer was E2K Events x Entertainment, operated by California-based Olmstead Productions Inc.
E2K’s own privacy notice identifies the American company as the summit’s producer. It also says E2K and its subcontractors provided services including event production, delegate services, staffing, transportation, printing, photography and video.

For example, for many years, there was nothing but friable asbestos issues in all of the mechanical spaces in which private contractors were routinely working to keep all kinds of piping, electrical, AC systems in operation.
Additionally, plans showed asbestos had been sprayed as fireproofing directly onto the steel framework of the building. Over 26,000 square feet of asbestos-containing insulation was found on the steel structures alone.
Even if contractors didn't disturb it, with air movements, leaking ceilings, etc. it became friable sooner or later. Simply put, the structure itself and all of its mechanical and electrical parts were old & often repaired or replaced in part.
The Kennedy Center is operated and controlled through a shared responsibility between both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government. The legislative branch would usually bring in the contractors and the executive branch often had to inspect the contractors upon receiving complaints for incompliance with standards (OSHA, etc.).

Obama's record on immigration in his first term was actually better than W's.
It was after the shellacking of 2010 and the surprise underperformance in 2012 (which they overcame with cheating) that they suddenly started counting border turnaways as deportations, starting the statistics games that made him look better while upping asylum acceptances.

As someone who works for maintaining a 1950's building, having asbestos fireproofing on steel columns is common. Asbestos doesn't become hazardous until you disturb it (remove it) and it becomes airborne dust particles and inhaled. Asbestos insulation is also common around steam and chilled water piping.
So whomever wrote that doesn't know jack-sh@t about building maintenance.

As someone who works for maintaining a 1950's building, having asbestos fireproofing on steel columns is common. Asbestos doesn't become hazardous until you disturb it (remove it) and it becomes airborne dust particles and inhaled. Asbestos insulation is also common around steam and chilled water piping.
So whomever wrote that doesn't know jack-sh@t about building maintenance.

The contractors working doing repairs and other work were not necessarily unprotected under the asbestos standards. Often sampling - or lack thereof - was the issue.
However, Trump is proposing closing the Kennedy Center to protect the general public in the theaters and main exhibit areas.
Contractors are protected by federal (occupational safety and health) standards, as you well know. Members of the general public are NOT so protected.

He is a Disruptor.
His shtick is to shove [current thing] down the audience's throat, and when some of them complain, the woke mob swarms to demonize him.
Previously, he had a song w/an LGBTQ activist singer celebrating queer love. When they performed it at the Grammies (because of course it was nominated), dozens of gay couples positioned themselves throughout the venue, and then they paused the song to perform a mass gay marriage ceremony. Captive audience, that no doubt included some conservative Gospel and Country artists, were forced to participate.
He is an a$$hole activist from Seattle, and he will do something just as obnoxious when the next [new thing] comes along. It's not about SSM or Palestine, it's about making a normal event into and activist brawl, where others are forced to support or be eaten by the mob. The mob is already busy destroying Ed Sheeran.

The Morning Report — 9/ 18 /26
Good morning kids. continuing with the theme over this past week of our corrupt judicial system, we have a bit of encouraging news, not that I expect real justice to be served, but still...
Earlier this week, a federal judge made a shocking charge: Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s district attorney for nearly a decade, may be guilty of “perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.” Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and one of his top deputies, Matthew Stiegler, to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate potential federal crimes.As we all know, or should know Krasner is a bought and paid for agent provocateur of anti-American traitor and bustout proud admitted Nazi war criminal/collaorator George Soros. Here's a bit of Krasner's rap sheet courtesy of the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks. Keep this website handy as it is a go-to resource of the who's who of traitors destroying America from within
Running as a Democrat, Krasner stated that his top priority as District Attorney “will be ending mass incarceration in Philadelphia.” Said his campaign website: “The cost of imprisoning one person for a year pays the salary of a young public school teacher, social worker, or police officer engaging in appropriate community policing. Resources could instead be invested in job training and addiction treatment. Mass incarceration simply won’t heal our torn social fabric, and does not make us safer.”THIS TWISTED Bastard and his coven have devoted themselves to the destabilization of society which has the net effect of destroying it, the goal of the Anti-American American Left and Democrat Party for decades. Again as we all know or should know, besides Krasner, every major and many minor urban areas as well as states have DAs and Attorneys General bought and paid for by George Soros.
...Policy of Non-Prosecution & Non-Incarceration Krasner was sworn in as Philadelphia D.A. on January 1, 2018. Soon thereafter, he issued a non-prosecution policy memo to the attorneys in his office, mandating that criminal prosecutions for various offenses should be either minimized or abolished altogether. As a result of Krasner’s new guidelines, it became commonplace for the Philadelphia D.A. office to drop criminal charges against even the most dangerous defendants. Between January and September of 2020, for example, Krasner’s office dropped charges on more than 60% of all shooting cases in the city, as well as 37% of illegal firearms cases.
The Democrat Party and Its Supporters Are a Hive, Part Three
Completing analysis of the modern American leftwing power network.
Progressive DA network: The Hive’s investment in local prosecutorial elections transforms local law enforcement into a policy instrument—declining to prosecute certain categories of offense (shoplifting below $950 in California, drug possession, trespassing) effectively nullifies legislation.
Yeah, surprise surprise, this is who they have running for senator in Arkansas
Arkansas Democrat Senate nominee Hallie Shoffner vowed to "redirect" the "considerable resources of the federal government" away from "punishment" and toward "treatment and compassion" as part of a push to spend taxpayer money "in an equitable fashion," video footage reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon shows.Meh this filthy slag is representative of every single Democrat running for office at every level. Compassion for the criminals and degenerates but not for the victims, since We the People are the criminals who have to be punished for the original sin of America as founded

Minister at Talarico’s Austin Church Says Woke Senate Hopeful is Shifting Positions to Win Over Moderate Voters “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was," said Reverand Babs Miller, 83, a lesbian minister at the parish at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.Somebody please for the love of all that is just and good reassure me that this bastard doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of actually winning a senate seat in Texas. ¡Hay Caramba!
The radical ally of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said in an interview Thursday that the United States has committed more terrorism than the radical Islamic group behind 9/11.
Hasan Piker told Axios that, “pound for pound,” the United States had killed more people than al-Qaeda, the organization that plotted and carried out the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Piker, a popular leftist streamer who once said America “deserved 9/11,” has campaigned alongside El-Sayed.
SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power. No way Krasner will face any real justice but once the head-choppers and clit-clippers rule the roost his head will roll soon thereafter as history has shown us time and again once allies of convenience are no longer needed. Have a great weekend one and all.

Made the decision to run a whispering campaign to win a write-in vote for a minor local office. I would work with the guy that replaced me when my health led me to resign during my second term.
It is a thankless public job, but, if well done, keeps my property values up.
In the Primary, with no name on the ballot, the highest write-in vote person had 3 votes. This is a case of your "friends" putting your name on the ballots. Sorta the reverse of a popularity contest. No one wrote my name in during the primary.

I can't help but get the feeling that America was envious of Russia being in an endless and pointless low intensity "war", but improving on it by only grinding on the matériel, and losing political power rather than also ending blood lines.
To the point that Congress would step in and say "Stop It" and cut off the funding. That is an absolute certainty if the US votes in a Communist controlled House a/o Senate.
The endless war strategery could have worked this time: because of war we need to wave off the litigation and red tape to open up domestic REM mining and other impediments that are cast aside when on a war footing.
But Congress and half the population hates America more than their own macro economic and social survival.

This is a classic example of propaganda. If you are not constantly immersed in the political social media world, it is not a natural connection of high gasoline prices mean vote for a different party.
This is projection based on being far too stupid to realize that if you make that association you are following a crafted narrative by a party that as a matter of deliberate policy sadistically increases gasoline prices—simply because its a flex.
Remember the "I Did That" Joe Biden pump stickers? It had no real political value, but it made the political neurotics in the Demonic Party seethe. Which I believe was the actual point. It didn't educate anyone, it was a meme to put some of the more volatile Leftists on tilt.

On the surveillance front, a hacking collective stole, not destroyed, an intact Flock camera sometime in the last week or so. They opened it up and copied all of it's running software, then went to work on it.
They released their findings the other day. There are a number of sites out there that have the story, if you are interested. 404media was one such site.
I'll not link to it, but I did not get any weird stuff on my PC from it.

“Millage” rate on your property tax is derived from “Mill” or per thousand. Once used in accounting too, for large corporations when the dollar was really worth something. 1/1000th of a dollar. It GM could save a few mills on some part or component assembly, it starts to add up after a few million units.

There is no need for a war to get realignments. The US was in a "war" drought in Trump 1.0 and we got the Abrahamic Accords.
There was realignment during the Climate Change™ scam, the Covid-1984™ coup d'etat, there is another for Tariffs, another for Belt & Road Initiative. The whole Donroe Doctrine of the Communist rejecting wave in so many countries in the Western Hemisphere had nothing to do with cleaning up after Israel's head strike adventure in Iran.

A, at this point, I want Trump to put his name on half the buildings in DC to keep the locals triggered
B, IIRC, the Institute of Peace building was incredibly posh, with its staffers paid incredibly well whileno one outside of DC had ever heard of the place/part of the US government.
Also, that's the one that literally barricaded the doors to prevent DOGE from entering, right? They are a sketchy bunch who were obviously acting outside the law and using a ton of taxpayer money to do it.
A compromise: name it after Trump, then tear down their precious building!

The Democratic National Committee racked up two of its biggest grassroots fundraising months in a midterm cycle this summer, bringing in more than $14 million combined in July and August.
And, I have good news,
But the DNC’s strength with small-dollar donors doesn’t close the gaping hole in the party committee’s bank account, especially when compared to the Republican National Committee. As of July, the DNC had $16 million in cash on hand, but $18 million in debts. The RNC ended July with more than $130 million in cash.

The reason - in the 60’s, Leader Nasser decided that Yemen was weak and that Egypt needed to expand its influence, so he ordered his clearly superior army to invade Yemen. What followed was called “Nasser’s Vietnam”, in which the mighty Egyptian army got its ass kicked. Many military careers were destroyed, Nasser fell from power later in the decade.
The Egyptian military is still scared to death of engaging with Yemen and will never go back, much like America would never fight another ground war in Vietnam.

Recall that the Kennedy Center was going/is going to have Trump's name on it too. There's been an ongoing fight with the KC board of directors, all leftists, about that. They voted to close the Center down. It's going to get renovated, it needs it, badly, and then re-open in a couple years, likely with Trump's name on it.
I presume Kennedy's name will remain. Who knows...

Youssef asserted in the Jan. 29 interview that the 9/11 attacks were a "false flag" operation conducted by Israel. And he accused the Jewish state of fomenting other "false flag" attacks, including the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia, in which ISIS-inspired radicals murdered 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration on Dec. 14, 2025. . .
"I'm also really excited… you know Bassem Youssef, fellow Egyptian," said El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan to Egyptian immigrants. El-Sayed's mother worked for an Islamic nonprofit that was sanctioned for raising money for al Qaeda.
"He's hilarious," El-Sayed said of Youssef.

- several million more voters have been removed from registrations
- pollsters appear to be using 2018 as a baseline*
- generic polling is widely ranging from +13 to +3 Dem
- Yet poll out of MN shows Rs tied or leading; indeed, every poll nearly everywhere is showing close races
- Rs have like a $1 billion cash advantage; and have just started spending (Dems have been spending all summer)
- watch where Trump goes and where he spends his money; some of it is just party service/building, some are feigns/overlapping media market; but some are where the real action is

I have no clue if he can win. Just saw on X that CNN's Dana Bash reported a new poll out of Michigan that 45% of the electorate would not vote for a Muslim candidate, and the lefty Detroit News endorsed Rogers.
Amazing!
However, Rogers had the election stolen last time (votes counted after election day reversed his win), so similar shenanigans would not surprise. The Obama machine wants him.

OK, stay with me: how about we have a nationwide tax holiday, where no one pays federal taxes for 2026?
Considering the fraud that the federal government has allowed previous tax payments wasted on, it seems only fair.
Anyone who has debt can put their withheld taxes for 2026 toward that -- and if you are not paying federal taxes, then I guess you're already getting a break.

Also, through RESOLUTION NO. 161119, introduced December 2016, the City of Philadelphia has long upheld support for and protection of Muslim communities, condemning violence and hate speech targeted towards Muslims, affirming the religious pluralism of the United States, and urging Philadelphia residents to stand in solidarity with our American Muslim communities - and all other communities - for peace and justice.

From above, "SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power."
To support your logic and concerns on both fronts:
👉 Broad + Liberty: Thom Nickels: How Pa’s Muslim population is reshaping its politics — and its governor, August 28, 2026
And Larry K. appears to be their guy.
AI: Krasner has frequently utilized a unified front with Muslim, Christian, and Jewish clergy to push back against federal intervention in the city. When the Trump administration threatened to deploy National Guard units or heavily expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations within democratic-led cities, Krasner aligned closely with local imams (such as Imam Kenneth Nuriddin of the Philadelphia Masjid) to denounce the actions as overreaching and safely shield immigrant and faith communities from federal crackdowns.
Continued -
Posted by: L - No nic... at September 18, 2026 09:18 AM (NFX2v)
A central tenet of Krasner's intervention strategy has been bypassing traditional policing to invest directly in neighborhood-level infrastructure. His office utilizes violence prevention microgrants (reallocated from civil asset forfeiture funds) to back community organizations. This includes funding grassroots and faith-adjacent groups in heavy Muslim corridors like Germantown and West Philadelphia (such as the Men of Courage gardening/mentorship initiative and the DATA CoLab pilot) to tackle gun violence and provide restorative justice alternatives for young adults.
Krasner’s economic crime interventions have also directly targeted exploitation within local sub-communities.

The core problem was have with crime is the 1% who can and will consistently commit violent acts can only be stopped by execution or imprisonment.
We've had an explosion of crime because we've stopped imprisoning them and you constantly see stories of some outrage or other committed by a 20-something with more convictions then years on this earth who was free to murder, rob, and rape...

I saw an interview with an older Philly hooker from a few years ago. She said that Philly has always been a shady, crime filled place, but there was a certain method to the crime so yeah you could get your drugs, your sex, or whatever other illicit stuff you wanted, but you wouldn't get stabbed for no reason and there was a sense of community and all that's changed.
My guess is what she was seeing is a move from the old style Democrat/Mob politics that Northeastern cities used to have to the newer Democrat/Illegal alien gang politics that now rule them.

Twenty-seven FBI field offices were working fraud cases that looked local. Then Washington finally put the data in the same room.
What emerged wasn't dozens of unrelated problems. The FBI says investigators connected over 40 cases to the same strategic threat and the same group of overseas actors.
The discovery came through the new National Fraud Detection Center, launched in August. The center brings together information from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, IRS Criminal Investigation, Treasury, FinCEN, inspectors general, state agencies, and others.
Instead of examining one suspicious student loan, Medicare payment, or SBA loan at a time, investigators can search for connections across programs and jurisdictions. The center uses data analytics and AI to help spot patterns that individual offices might miss. . .

The permissible lookback period for misdemeanor convictions was reduced from seven years to four years (excluding incarceration periods), while felonies remain capped at a seven-year lookback.
Employers are strictly prohibited from considering summary offenses (minor infractions or citations).
Expunged or sealed records cannot be considered, even if they show up on a background report.
Job notices and advertisements mentioning background checks must explicitly state that screenings involve an individualized assessment tied to job requirements and specific records.
Before taking an adverse action, employers must supply a written notice in plain language containing the basis for the decision... (and much more).

It begins, "It's unclear which, if any, opening acts will accompany Ed Sheeran at his Philadelphia concert Saturday following Macklemore's controversial exit from the singer's Loop Tour. But pro-Palestinian groups will assemble near Lincoln Financial Field an hour before the show to welcome Sheeran with a protest.
Philly Palestine Coalition and Shut Down D&Z announced plans to demonstrate at NRG Station at 4:30 p.m. to "return the conversation to Palestine, and return Philadelphia to action." Neither group immediately clarified any demands they'd be making from Sheeran or the venue, nor how many people they expect to attend."

No one remembered his long ago reputation? As a white 'artist' enjoying massive mainstream success in a historically Black genre, he became a lightning rod for discussions about privilege in the music industry.

"Customers" meaning "partner companies" who sell things, not "consumers," I think?
from the article:
AWS immediately urged customers to migrate resources to other cloud regions and use remote backups to restore any “inaccessible resources.”
The cloud service also reportedly issued $150 million in customer credits following the initial Iranian strikes in March.

Ronstadt has never married.
Speaking of finding an acceptable mate, in 1974 she told Peter Knobler in Crawdaddy, "... he's real kind but isn't inspired musically and then you meet somebody else that's just so inspired musically that he just takes your breath away but he's such a moron, such a maniac that you can't get along with him. And then after that it's the problem of finding someone that can stand you!"

It is depressing to realize that people mostly just project themselves onto others, without understanding. And then it's compounded by seeing that what they project is often such a profoundly banal, venal, shallow, grasping, unprincipled, and *small* mind that it's a wonder God doesn't just give up on us.
So many Westerners are the silliest of geese, just lazy faithless grifters imagining that Muzzies are the same and acting out for effect. A mind so small, they would struggle to wrap it around a grain of rice, let alone a genuinely alien worldview, mindset, instincts, goals, 'ethics' so-called, and so on.

Today Miss Linda is dragging me to another of those Friday luncheons at my old employer. The drive there and back is not bad, I can park without paying, the lunch is free, and who knows, the topic might be interesting. "Might" being the crucial word.
My apartment mismanagement left a notice on my door *yesterday* that I have until today to come in and get a new "gate card" and "gate code." I remember how well those worked in years gone by, so I'm not sanguine -- and annoyed by the fact that I got only a day's notice. If I were still working, it would be very hard for me to get to the office. They leave on the stroke of 4:59:30 pm if they don't sneak out earlier.

It might be great if there was a widespread push (hint: Congress) to cap credit-card and bank loan interest rates at something relatively reasonable, like 10%. Admittedly, it might mean people who need it most might not get approved, but that happens already with unsecured loans, right?
Having all interest rates float wildly other than the one/handful that the Fed gets in the news for tweaking 0.25 percent or whatever is not helpful.

My Internet company, which used to be my cable company, mails their bill so late that I barely have time to send them my payment before the deadline. They want me to go online bill pay, and I won't; it saves them money, but not me. The day they hit me with a late fee, I'll raise holy hell at their office, and if I don't get it taken off, Starlink, here I come.
Which I should do anyway. It would save me half of what I'm paying for 'Net now.

----- Abandoned plans for a city across from San Francisco. Developers planned a city of 30,000 people in the hills directly across the Golden Gate from San Francisco
Two Spanish-tiled stucco gateposts once stood at the mouth of Tennessee Valley in Marin County, opening onto nothing at all. Behind them a road climbed into the hills and stopped. It had been bulldozed wide enough to carry commuter traffic, because that was the entire idea. Those gates were the front door of Marincello, a city of 30,000 people planned for the slopes directly across the water from San Francisco. In the mid 1960s it came alarmingly close to existing. *** Modesty was not a design feature. Fifty apartment towers, hundreds of houses and townhouses, 250 acres of light industry, a shopping mall running a full mile with ornamental pools and elephant trains, and a square ringed by churches and named Brotherhood Plaza. A hotel would crown the highest hill on the property. Hart costs the twenty-year build at $285 million in 1964 dollars. An earlier draft was madder still. The Bay Area history archive FoundSF records a scheme originally drawn up for more than 150,000 residents, which the planning process eventually talked down to 30,000. *** A state appellate court ruled on 2 November 1970 that the 1965 approval could not stand and the plan would have to be lodged again from scratch. A lawyer for Gulf Oil called it silly to kill a multimillion-dollar development on a technicality. Praetzel’s answer, years later, was that the technicality in question was the law. *** Walk south from the Tennessee Valley car park and the track underfoot gets suspiciously wide. This is the Marincello Trail, which the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy measures at 2.9 miles return with 694 feet of climb. The same data gives a typical tread of 120 inches, or ten feet of graded roadway, waiting on cars that never turned up.So we missed out another blue shithole in California, right??
----- The headline here omits a very important word. Many Venezuelan immigrants shun Florida and turn to smaller cities in Utah, elsewhere
Snow-covered mountains ringing a valley of wide, free-flowing roads remind Venezuelan transplants that the growing suburbs south of Salt Lake City offer what Miami can’t. One million Venezuelans were released into the United States after crossing the Mexican border during a record immigration surge, and many shunned Miami and other longtime immigrant footholds for smaller places with less established communities — a pattern found in an exclusive Associated Press analysis of fedteral data from fall 2018 to summer 2025. These cities and towns promised better jobs, cheaper homes, less traffic and higher quality of life, outweighing Florida’s allure of tropical weather and ease of getting by on Spanish alone.That last sentence contains the clue as to the missing word.
*** After less than two weeks there, Vera and his mother accepted a cousin’s invitation to Utah. In the southern suburbs, with massive new housing tracts and pristine shopping centers, Vera found factory work but soon quit to turn a hobby baking for co-workers into his own business. Today he employs 15 people — many, like him, asylum seekers — at a warehouse and two bakeries.
Utah — known as a relatively immigrant-friendly state despite deep Republican roots and support for President Donald Trump — became a top destination for Venezuelans crossing the border, along with parts of the Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston metro areas, AP’s data show. Venezuelans also went to smaller cities including Madison, Wisconsin; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Savannah, Georgia. It’s a pattern playing out across the U.S.: Some Cubans eschewed Florida and went to Louisville, Kentucky, and Odessa, Texas; Colombians chose the Boston and Denver areas; and Paterson, New Jersey, was the top pick among Peruvians. These communities have both benefited from the influx of people and struggled to integrate their new arrivals."Struggled to integrate their new arrivals"??? How dare they not just make life easy for these "asylum seekers"?!?
Trump’s immigration crackdown instilled fear and made Venezuelans less visible since 2023, when arrivals peaked in Utah and in the United States as a whole. Everyone here seems to know someone who returned to Venezuela voluntarily because they feared being detained and deported or because they lost their work authorization. *** Arrieta’s wife — co-owner Sandy Arrieta — wanted to stay open. But he believes nothing will turn around while Trump’s in office. “Until the government changes, the problems will not end,” said Fidel, 65, who immigrated in 1994.That's more than enough for you to get the gist of the intention of this article.

----- Saw some pushback in the comments on Tuesday against my semi-crusade against Flock. We can respectfully disagree. But you might want to skip past this segment. Hackers find encryption keys stored on stolen Flock camera despite company's denials — group extracts more than 27,000 clips, 1.6 million images captured in a span of 21 days from the device
Flock claims that images are only briefly stored on its cameras before being forwarded to the company’s servers, but a group of hackers determined that this wasn’t the case. Flock says that its cameras are protected by on-device encryption, and even though a security researcher noted some flaws in its system, the company said that physical access is still required to exploit them and that the images are only briefly retained on the device before they’re forwarded to the cloud. However, 404 Media says that a hacking group called stegan0gram found out that this wasn’t the case after they took down a Flock camera positioned over a roadway and analyzed the data stored inside it. While the hacking group failed to access the most sensitive data stored on the Flock camera, they were still able to access its Android operating system and found two storage partitions, labeled “vendor” and “media.” The latter was found to contain an encryption key that unlocked another partition containing all the media files from the camera. 404 Media said that that particular Flock camera captured about 1.6 million images across 21 days, detecting around 50,200 vehicles and, more concerningly, 11 people. There were also 27,321 video clips saved on the device — MP4 files with a 1024 x 768 resolution that lasted about a second or two. Abilities like reading license plates and describing vehicle characteristics like color, make, and model are done on Flock’s servers, but these cameras still retain some edge AI capabilities. This includes detecting people, vehicles, bicycles, and plate-like shapes, which it then crops and sends to the company servers, alongside the original images. Although the software was found to have some facial detection capabilities, the publication said that this was the stock capabilities included in the operating system and wasn’t used by the camera.
How the American revolt against Flock cameras mirrors the Boston Tea Party of 1773
A grassroots revolt against automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, has gained momentum across the United States. ALPRs are AI-powered cameras that capture images of all passing vehicles. The camera systems turn details into datapoints searchable by anyone with access to the information. Today, there are more than 130,000 ALPRs on U.S. streets. And more than 5,000 law enforcement agencies use cameras produced by a single manufacturer, Flock Safety, which says its cameras have helped law enforcement agencies identify and arrest criminals and reduce crime. *** As a historian of the American Revolution, I see parallels between Americans’ revolt against ALPRs and colonists’ destructive and often violent pushback to late 18th-century British rule. If this summer’s celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding failed to inspire widespread patriotism, the increasingly bipartisan revolution against ALPRs suggests Americans have not entirely lost their rebellious spirit.Long article, but I think it's worth the read.
----- Incredible surgery! Twin sisters conjoined at the head underwent successful separation surgery
Surgeons at a children's hospital in Missouri earlier this year successfully separated infant twin sisters who had been born conjoined at the head, hospital officials announced Wednesday. Sisters Hiyab and Wuhbto are now recovering and undergoing rehabilitation and intensive care, more than six months after their cranial separation surgery in February, the hospital said. The Feb. 24-25 surgery, at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, took more than 24 hours to complete and involved a team of specialists across multiple disciplines. "It is still too soon to know exactly what their long-term development will look like but what we do know is that they now have opportunities that would not have been possible without this intervention," Dr. Joanna Kemp, head neurological surgeon at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, said in a press conference Wednesday.News video segment at the link.

----- Dino is just like the rest of us! The T. rex had a body temperature similar to our own, study finds
Using fossilized teeth, scientists have finally taken the T. rex’s temperature — and it wasn’t too different from our own. Researchers once thought that dinosaurs were sluggish, cold-blooded creatures. Later findings challenged that, suggesting that older dinosaurs were warm-blooded and could control their body temperature. Most scientists agree that Tyrannosaurus rex was warm-blooded, but pinning down the exact core temperature of an extinct creature is difficult. “We can’t just use a thermometer to do that,” said Jasmina Wiemann, a paleobiologist at Johns Hopkins University who had no role in the latest work.

In the span of just one year the townships of Gates Mills, Hunting Valley, and Chagrin Falls have all gone full nazi, and have installed Flock cameras EVERYWHERE.
My friends say that basic traffic fines for speeding start at $250.00.
Do you have any idea of how hard it is to drive 35mph on boulevard type roads. The damn things are 2 1/2 lanes wide, and one way traffic on each side.
Hell, back in youth 60mph was going slow ...
Takes all the fun out of driving it does.

He was conscious but not alert nor oriented. He was not responsive. He did not speak. He did not move his legs. He gave one random thumbs up.
This is not a well person. He most likely has suffered a series of ischemic accidents. He probably needs assistance with all activities of daily living including continuous medical supervision. I would say based on this his prognosis is poor.

I am guessing that the temperature implied by the mineral makeup of the critter's teeth is a tad lower than the critter's core temperature, seeing as teeth are somewhat exposed to cooling outside air. But the delta between mouth temp and core temp is likely similar in modern-day large animals, so a core temp can be inferred.

He has better care than most elderly people around. He has a staff that tends to his every whim, security guards that keep him safe, and activities that keep him as mentally occupied as he's able (and would like) to be. That's why he didn't take the opportunity to retire early and try to stay in the Senate for what he knew would be his last semi-sentient term. If he retired six years ago, he would have been dead six days after he left the Senate chamber for the last time. Boxer and Feinstein were the same way. For them, home would never be as fun as the Senate.

But you can see that beautiful Art Deco style out front and some of the interior buildings, which are Historical Buildings in their own right. TMZ says the departure is happening. 65 acres comes available in a yucky area of town. With Bass's aptitude for development, it should be a kingdom for pests and vandals in no time.

It is being reported that Sean Penn, Ben Stiller are to join AI Oversight Advisory Committee.
The only way this could be more fake is if it were fake.
I did, however, get to watch Sean Penn at Hugo Chavez' funeral looking very sad, so who knows. Maybe this is not fake and is merely fake.

Been over two years since I put my kayak in the water. Bought but never used a little hand sail for it. Figured if played the wind and tide right, I could paddle down Narragansett Bay a few miles, then take an easy ride back.
Still a plan.

Grand Banks is absolutely still around and building gorgeous yachts. They'll have at least one yacht at the show.
We called that kind of powerboat trawlers, not as a slur, just cause that's what we called cruising powerboats. Just a habit. It's where old sailors go when they get too old to pull strings. That's why Hinckley and other started building power boats.
This is a great cruising area with the islands and other popular ports and there are tons of those boats around here.

Ancient Egypt was good at that. A new dynasty comes in, yeah this god sucks, and now this god is cool, and this city sucks, and now this city is cool. Then that one ends and another dynasty starts and does that shit all over again. When dynasties ended it was always crap shoot. Sometimes within dynasties. Akhenaten was one example. He tossed out the old gods, brings in the cult of Aten, builds an entire new capital city and moves the seat of power there. His son, King Tut, was originally Tutankhaten- Living image of Aten, then tut comes to power and now Aten was no longer cool, because fuck dad, and Tut became Tutankhamun- Living image of Amun, because now Amun was cool again and. Thats just one example. Cities built, cities abandoned, fuck it.

The reason California was able to do that is something we all know here, but that few in the wider public are aware of. As legitimate jobs left, California, with the state and city governments assistance, replaced them with massive federal fraud at every level. We don’t know the scope completely, but there’s a chance that 25% of SoCal’s economy is based on pure fraud of one flavor or another.
As the legitimate jobs leave, SoCal is increasingly in the position where any serious clampdown in the fraud will collapse their entire economic structure in a relatively short timeframe.

yeah the cartouches are where the royal names are. Whats not simple is that a pharaoh had 5 names and a 6th secret name. We know the pharaohs by their birth name, the name given to them by their parents, which is called the "son of Ra" name. Ramesses, Tutankhamun, Thutmose, etc, are their birth names. If on top of a cartouche you see what looks like a duck, and over the back of the duck there is a circle with a dot in the center, that is the Son of Ra name. Ramesses is easy because because the god Ra is the first part of his name. There is whats called honorific transposition, and the gods name always appears on top no matter where it appears on the name. In Tutankhamun the god Amun is spoken last but in the cartouche it would appear on top, so if you don't know that rule you'll never get the translation right. Ramesses II's royal name is User-maet-ra Setep-en-Ra, and that cartouch would not have the son of Ra symbols over it, but something different. There's a shit ton of rules in reading this stuff.

In 1997, I was tasked with setting up the company email server. While researching this "email" thing, I found stats showing that most admins would browse user mails; it was mostly harmless snoops but occasionally a stalker, creep, loser, etc. There were endless spam issues, and sometimes server exploits via the email ecosystem. Spoiler alert: It turned out that email solved a lot of problems, but steps had to be taken to curb abuse. It's kind of Flock-like.
Since we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that public cameras are here to stay, maybe we should fix the issues instead of trying to ban it, since banning new tech and new ideas has never worked.
(And apply the fixes to Ring cameras, traffic cams, security cams at homes and bussinesses, etc because they're the exact same thing, and there are currently about 60 million of them according to AI).

Not many to choose from at local wallyworld-- it's all about "air fryers" now & shelves were FULL of those. Meh, not ready for one of those. Maybe later.
But really, wtf? My first micro lasted over 20 years, and even then still mostly worked-- just a few number buttons were wonky-- so no "1" or "4" but all others were OK. Another 5 or 6 years, and the "start" button gave out...

Historic VidsFor the next vid, I had to look up the term "trophy truck." Google AI:
@historyinmemes This isn't a photograph -- it's a painting by Danish artist Peder Mork Monsted (1859--1941).
Check out the suspension on this truck, nom-nom-noming over hills and ruts. I guess this guy uses random paint strokes and splatters to push him towards fresh images and not the first ones to pop into his head. At any rate, it does wind up looking like something. Or maybe it's just a gimmick. Either way, it's not just splatter. Mechanizing weed-pulling. Calm down, Jack Straw, I mean the weeds that you can't smoke. The non-wacky ones. Forced perspective fakery. A (fake) highway disaster we should have seen coming. Stronk Empowered Rock Formations. Piloting a drone down a tall industrial chimney. Reminds me of Blofeld's demise in For Your Eyes Only. Brazen thieves on a motorcycle attempt to rob a moving truck. A quick application of the brakes results in a painful, hilarious end to the banditry. The Fast and the Furious lied to you. The Disappearing Mom Trick, a secret learned from wise men of the Himalayas. The redbud or Judas tree produces flowers from the trunk itself. In 1991, a Nigerian "prophet" attempted to reproduce the miracle of Daniel in the lion's den by entering a zoo enclosure full of lions. It didn't go great. Automatic Goat Scritcher. We live in an age of marvels.
A trophy truck is a heavily customized, high-speed off-road racing vehicle built to handle extreme desert terrain at speeds exceeding 130 mph.

In 1916 someone dug a well to find water for irrigation, in the middle of a desert. Scalding water exceeding 200°F, has flowed ever since. Calcium carbonate deposits building up into this cone shape with colourful thermophilic algae.

DH has an F-350 that does some serious trucking. I'm not sure one can live in the boonies in AK without one. It hauls dirt, lumber, firewood, dogs, trash, and, on some occasions, a big camper. Plus, it is the only vehicle he really fits into, with a bit of room to spare.
Otherwise, it would, indeed, be a waste of money.

I, likewise, have only once bought a new car. Seems like a waste of money, honestly. I can get a low mileage used for less than half the price of new, and I usually drive my cars until they fall apart. The newest vehicle we own is a 2015, and it's going great. The oldest is a 1961, and it isn't going great just yet, but it will.

Randomly tangential, after all these years since the introduction of two-letter state abbreviations, I still have to stop and think, AK, that's Alaska, not Arkansas (which state is just over yonder from us).
Although, I never have to think twice about it when I see "tcn in AK."😜

No nova or explosion. In solar mass stars, they just balloon up to red giants, blow away lots of mass, and then become white dwarfs. That blowing away of mass and the white dwarf radiating away are what makes the planetary nebula.
The Sun will undergo a helium flash at some point in the red giant phase, but none of that energy manages to escape, so you don't see it.

If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had any balls (spoiler, she doesn't), she would tell Marx Carnage that any deal to make Canada an associate member or full member of the EU would trigger an automatic Unilateral Declaration of Independence by Alberta, results or lack thereof of the upcoming referendum notwithstanding.

It takes a minimum of about 8 solar masses for a star to go supernova at the end of its life. Stars between about 2 and 8 solar masses go through slightly different paths from the Sun, but no big boom.
The more massive the star, the shorter the life. The big one got out truly in the proverbial blaze of glory.

Piker added: "We have caused tremendous terror all around the world."He now says that while what he said was right, people with names like "Hasan" and "Abdul" (the Senate candidate who he's palling around with) aren't allowed to utter such truths.
AWFUL: Lindsay Clancy shouldn't be punished because she's already been punished enough for "losing her children." She didn't lose them, she strangled them to death. This is the apotheosis of the old joke, "Your honor, please have mercy for my murder of my parents. I'm an orphan, your honor." By the way, when asked to endorse "justice for the children," this degenerate, twisted hag refuses. Was Martin Udall right? He was definitely right about a large swathe of women, nearly the majority. The women of Piddington have a possible savior. The UK is planning to cram 1,250 Muslim men into a base just next to the town of a mere 350, giving the "newcomers" a 3-to-1 majority over the actual citizens. Plans have been discovered showing the government actually plans to settle over 3,500 "newcomers" there, but they swearsies that that plan has been abandoned and they would never! So, while the UK government does not care at all about the fact that the women of Piddington will become free-range rape prey for the almost uniformly military-age male "newcomers," they do care about a species of newt which may be endangered by the sudden influx of rapists.
Basil the GreatThe town recently voted to declare itself independent from the UK, but obviously the UK will not permit that. You are Tax Cattle to be farmed and slaughtered. And raped. You are chattel. On the other hand: Andy Burnham has promised to let Scotland again vote to leave or stay part of the UK, and Wales and Northern Ireland want a vote too.
@BasilTheGreat 🚨BREAKING: The illegal migrant camp planned for Piddington may be CANCELLED due to a protected species of NEWTS being found on the site So let me get this straight... The Government care more about the safety of NEWTS than Women and Girls?
Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales leaders to meet tomorrow to plan breakup of UK: ReportMeanwhile, EU leader and Bond villain Ursula Von Leyden has offered Canada an "associate membership" in the EU, which means that they get no advantages at all but get to be ruled over by Ursula and her 400 MEP besties, which is the same deal all actual EU members get. The Bond villainous made this offer on her own "authority," without asking any member nation for approval. And there is no such thing as an "associate member."
The leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will meet on Monday to discuss plans for the breakup of the United Kingdom, according to The Telegraph. First Ministers John Swinney of Scotland, Rhun ap Iowerth of Wales, and Michelle O'Neill of Northern Ireland are expected to sign a joint declaration demanding the right to hold referendums on breaking away from the UK. For the first time, the three constituent nations of the UK are held by pro-separation parties. The Telegraph reported sources as saying that the summit's purpose is to pile more pressure on Prime Minister Andy Burnham after he said in the parliament on Wednesday that he would back another Scottish independence referendum if public opinion backed one. A source close to Swinney told the newspaper that Burnham "fucked up" by making the comment and unionists should be very worried.
The source further said: "Burnham has not read his brief and doesn't seem to know the basics of the UK Government's position on the Union. If I was a Unionist, I would be very worried." Ahead of the summit, Swinney said that Burnham was "facing up to the idea that he will go down in history as the final prime minister of the United Kingdom". Swinney said that that, for the first time, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are led by pro-independence parties, and "there could be no clearer sign that the status quo is not sustainable and that Westminster must prepare for a post-UK future".
... The separatist movements in the UK have picked up pace lately as US President Donald Trump has ramped up his anti-British campaign. After threatening to back Argentina in the campaign to wrest the Falkland Islands off the UK, he has now supported Northern Ireland's separation from the UK and merger with Ireland.
Brussels was hit with a furious backlash today after announcing unprecedented plans for Canada to become an 'associate member' of the bloc -- without asking EU capitals to sign off on the proposal. EU diplomats told the Mail they were kept in the dark and first learnt of the proposal when Ursula von der Leyen, the EU Commission boss, unveiled it during a keynote speech. During the top Eurocrat's annual State of the Union speech to the European Parliament, she repeatedly love-bombed Canadian premier Mark Carney -- who was in the chamber -- saying Brussels wanted 'to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.' But to the surprise of diplomats from the EU's 27 member nations, who would have to sign off the move, she gushed: 'Dear Mark, I said we must urgently reimagine our partnerships. So, I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU. 'We share one ocean, one set of values, one way of seeing the world. And we will now build our shared future as well -- thank you for being here.' But the attempt to flatter the former Governor of the Bank of England backfired, with diplomats saying they were never briefed about the proposal and that, in effect, 'associate membership' doesn't even exist. EU diplomats accused Brussels of 'over-reach', an accusation often levelled against Eurocrats by UK Brexiteers before Britain left the bloc. One EU diplomat told the Mail: 'This bombastic announcement is just not right. 'There will be a summit at the end of October, so logically they will talk about deepening the relations. 'But no one has ever seen an associate membership and no idea what it means in practice. Canada is a valuable partner for the EU, one of the few currently in the world where we share the values, so it is nothing against Canada. 'But first and foremost the member states should be the ones to express what kind of relationship the EU wants to have with any third country.' Another added: 'She kept this bit of associate membership out of the text until the last moment. She also did not mention it up front to EU member states. 'It seems like she is a bit too far out in floating this. Everyone is positive about Canada, and wants to strengthen the relationship. 'But there is a lot of uncertainty about what von der Leyen envisages by coining this label.'

@EricLDaugh 21h 🚨 HOLY CRAP! Donald Trump just said if Canada becomes an associate member of the European Union, he might consider it a "HOSTILE ACT" and could enact tariffs or stop trading OUTRIGHT with Europe TRUMP: "Canada has been a TERRIBLE partner." 🔥 This DOES sound like a hostile act: why else would Canada do this other than to think joining the EU gives them leverage in a trade war over America? It's EXACTLY why Trump is right to be slapping Canada with tariffs until they stop treating Americans unfairly The EU isn't saving Canada from an invasion by Russia or China, yet they treat the US the worst!

Democrat House candidate cries and whines that she'd like to go home after being arrested for driving drunk and crashing into other cars.
Washington state Democrat Krista Perez, who is running for a state House seat, was seen on police video admitting to drinking wine, declining field sobriety tests and begging to go home before praying and crying in the back of a patrol car after her DUI arrest. Perez finished first in last month's primary in the 29th Legislative District, Position 1, and will face incumbent state Rep. Melanie Morgan, also a Democrat, in November, as the top two candidates advance to the general election. Tacoma Police said Perez's 2019 Chevrolet Silverado allegedly struck a parked car on South G Street shortly after midnight on August 11, setting off a chain reaction that damaged five vehicles, according to The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red. Prosecutors charged her with DUI, with a refusal enhancement in connection with the collision and a later encounter with police.
Body camera footage shows police questioning Perez after the crash and her subsequent arrest, while footage from the backseat of the patrol car shows her praying and sobbing, according to video obtained by The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red. After police arrived at the scene, Perez told an officer she did not understand what was going on and claimed she was not involved in an accident, the footage shows. "Did you get into an accident here?" the officer asks. "I did not," Perez responded. The officer then asked what happened. "I don't know. I've never been in an accident before," she replied. She also said she switched insurers just weeks before the incident when asked for her documents. She was able to tell the officer the name of the insurance company. Perez told the officer she was driving from a friend's business on Tacoma Avenue South when the collision happened. "Did you have anything to drink tonight?" the officer asked. "I just had some wine while I was there," Perez replied. Asked how much wine she had, Perez said she had one glass. When the officer asked how big the glass was, she told him, "I think you might need to contact the business." The officer then asked her to rate her sobriety on a scale of zero to 10, with zero being completely sober. She first told the officer that she wanted to go home. But when asked a second time, she rated herself a four. The officer then asked her to take standardized field sobriety tests but stated multiple times that the tests are optional. ... Perez declined the tests, kept saying she wanted to go home and repeatedly said that she was "confused." "Not right now. I'd like to go home first," she said. "You're not going to go home first. I'm going to tell you that right now, okay? So your options between the test, yes or no, that's going to be determined tonight, right now, not when you go home. So would you like to take these tests or no?" the officer asked. Perez responded by asking if she was allowed to decline the tests. "You do have a choice. You can either say yes, or you can say no. They're totally voluntary tests," the officer answered. "Yeah, I would like to go home first," she replied. The officer asked whether her answer meant she was declining the tests, and she said yes. She was then told she was under arrest for DUI and to put her hands behind her back. "Hold on. Hold on. One second. Hold on," she said. Perez repeatedly told the officer that she did "not know what any of this means." He told her it means she is under arrest for DUI.

The media is in full triage state pushing the narrative that AfD only wants to unite with Russia, returning migrants is ethnic cleansing, and somehow the Nazi's where far right and just like AfD. Current polls show that AfD is set to make significant increases in Berlin. I guess Merz sees his career disipation light blinking.

The Parti Citron du Canada was a Quebec political party whose platform was to:
Restructure Canada's economy to be centered on lemon production
Support global warming (so lemons can be grown in Canada)
Abolish Toronto (to "capitalize on the prejudices of voters outside the city")
Repeal the law of gravity (to avoid lemons being bruised when falling from trees)
Merge the Great Lakes (so that water is provided to more land, some of which could potentially be lemon farms)

Whitehall is the one forcing migrants on them. The locals hate them. It was a deliberate strategy of population replacement overall, but also diluting the native population with dependent migrants.
With the Establishment Uniparty wanting ever more migrants, secession - the credible threat of it - gives them some leverage.

On myth constantly pushed is that the UK and Canada have always been our most steadfast allies.

Hence the argument by the Anti-Federalists. Writing ten rules on a piece of paper wouldn't do shit. And ceding power to a central government, just because rules were written on a piece of paper, was foolish.

To begin with they reset the economy and financial system after the hyperinflation and rebuilt a completely shattered country in record time. In part it was a rejection and default on the WWI demands, and in part it was a rebuilding of the banking and credit systems backed by the state, in partnership with the state, and managed between the various producers by like some massive nationwide guild system.
If they had let it go there, then they would have been remembered as geniuses, greater than Keynes, Samuelson and Nordhaus who all viewed the Soviet planned economy as the ideal basis for an industrial economy.

The big thing with Canada that the media stays away from is what their "industry" has become, and WHY it is important that we not continue with the status quo. Canada has a tiny industrial base. What they do have is moving to the US. That leaves "Asssembling Plants." China and a few other countries send parts to Canada, which puts products together (assembles)....then they plaster the "Made in Canada" sticker on it even though the vast majority is Chinese crap. It's how China was circumventing tariffs and competing unfairly.
Now, Canada has nothing to fall back on, so they try to make it up in tariffs and unfair labor practices (like dumping milk) to control prices. The abuse tariff quotas on a bunch of different industries (dairy, lumber etc.). We're doing a reset, and they have no negotiating leverage.

On 9-11 if I’m around, I usually go to a school and talk with kids about my experiences that day. After this years visit one of the children’s siblings went on social media to say what a terrible thing that was, it shouldn’t be permitted and trying to coyly say I should have died that day.
Now imagine what it takes to be that ignorant and callous. Me? I’ll shrug it off. I’ve lost count of the number of people who wished I was dead. There’s a globe of them, and they might even have a fan club.
Anyway, that’s the level of ignorance and vitriol we’re up against and why people make pathos decisions at the ballot that will ultimately make their lives worse.

The opposite. These things are just so obvious that everyone should see them. Everyone that is willing to look. I'm smart in my field. But we're talking day to day on the street believe your own eyes stuff.
I'm no smarter than anyone in that. Yet I saw what I saw.
And now I see this, same as always. Lloyd is going all "I love Jesus" now because that's what he does when he gets called on dumb statements.
You know why I'm a "troll" ? Because I just don't buy into the ideology. I see what works and what don't. Anyone can. Its not a talent as much as a will.

Speaking of a Junior Achievement version of Economics, if you didn't like your COVID tyranny, you should have moved to a free area.
We had some attempts at that here, but by and large, people scoffed at such attempts.
We as adults protested along side student walkouts that were against prolonging the stupid school mandates, and we homeschool (had no skin in that game). So get off your self-righteous high horse over a bunch of commie agit prop about empowered, whiny sportsball players.

I don't think they do any planning on that level at all, if they did they would not have urged on a war with their only source of cheap energy.
And I don't think canada will be a cheap source of LNG regardless since the same transport across the ocean would be needed as US LNG, PLUS they'd have to build new pipelines over thousands of miles. The EU aren't builders of anything.

Either she hesitated and the elastic would loosen giving the children a little more air to live longer as they suffered at the hands of this demon, or she put so much tension into the ELASTIC that it was able to completely obstruct. Either those children suffered over long and would collect "one last gasp" several times over the period that she was murdering them, or she had the zeal to make an ELASTIC act as a static line with as much strength as she could muster.

US Poverty Rate Falls to Lowest Level In History
Well, as long as we've been keeping track of it, anyway.
And median (average) household income hit a record high. Wait until you see how the media spins this.The U.S. poverty rate edged down to the lowest on record in 2025, while median household income hit a record high, the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. There were 34.5 million people in poverty in 2025, the agency said. The decline marked the second consecutive annual drop in the poverty rate and brought it to its lowest level since the bureau began tracking the measure. It came as policymakers debate the impact of federal spending cuts on safety-net programs. The poverty rate -- the percentage of people living in poverty -- dipped 0.5 percentage point to 10.2% last year, the bureau said. The supplemental measure of poverty, which takes into account non-cash government benefits and taxes, was at 13.1%, and the median household income increased 2.6% to $87,460.
The media very begrugingly stated that the poverty rate fell, but only "slightly, and then added that "experts" "fear the worse" is still to come. Compare that to how they reported child poverty falling under Biden. And also note that child poverty under Trump has fallen to the lowest level in recorded history, which they don't bother underlining.

A fighter jet crashed in rural Michigan on Thursday afternoon during a training exercise.
The pilot safely ejected and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are being treated.
The fighter pilot was participating in a routine training exercise in Traverse County at the time of the crash.
“A 149th Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guard F-16 Fighting Falcon was on a routine training mission from the Air National Guard’s Combat Readiness Training Center, in Alpena, when it experienced an incident earlier this afternoon,” the Texas Military Department said in a statement.

Get rid of the illegals, and phony-legals, so that citizens can get jobs, have the government stop stealing our money to fund their demonic push for a worldwide homosexual Islamic nightmare land, and ease up on the regulations. We shouldn't have safety-net programs - charity can take care of those in actual need, and doing these things would limit the number in actual need.

Not at all. Mother Theresa never judged anyone for their life choices, and she took care of them. But then, she wasn't extorting the general public for tax money to do so. Not the same thing as the government demanding to pay for extravagance for "poor" people.
I never took public assistance for anything, and I left home at 17. I lived without a phone, without AC, without a lot in order to survive. I also always had a job, but there were times when I didn't not know where my next meal was going to come from. I got by, until I succeeded.
And now I get to pay for others to not bother. THAT is my objection. I still give plenty to the Church, and I have no issue if the Church chooses to use that to help folks. And it does.

I filled the gas tank of a scammer who "ran out of gas" with my emergency can that I carried in my 1963 VW. They wanted cash. As I was filling up their tank, I noticed their tank gage read half a tank.
It was gas that had been in the can in the trunk for over a year.
Win-win.

Thirty years ago, or so, I was shopping in a grocery store at 3:30 am (I worked a weird shift). Their was a lady who got into the checkout before I did, two carts, full of steaks and goodies. Had what looked to be about a 500 carat diamond on her finger. Paid for everything with an EBT card, loaded it into her Escalade, and left.

The rules on EBT have changed and a lot of people have been cut off. They started counting assets, not just earning, and the level you can earn and get it was adjusted. Plus, if you are able to do at least 20 hours of work a week, you have to in order to get EBT. And they cut illegals off.
This enraged the left but it is taking effect. Prices on a lot of stuff that used to be cranked up knowing that people bought a lot of it on EBT are dropping.

I went to college in St. Louis (paying my own way and working). I used to go to Soulard Market south of downtown at noon to get the deals. 10 lbs of potatoes for a buck, a dozen ears of sweet corn for a buck, that sort of thing. Farmers didn't want to take it back, so they marked it down to nearly nothing. Perfectly fresh produce, and I made it last.

They shut it down finally because almost no one ever used any of it, it wasn't premade easy to make stuff. You had to work at it to make food.
Now, being of poor health and advancing age myself, I understand the delights of ready made and easy to cook food, so I have sympathy for some. But most can make something from ingredients. They just don't want to.

There's a Lutheran church in my old neighborhood that does a drive thru food pantry once a week. Cars lined up forever. They don't ask about means, they just give out boxes of food. The cars are pretty nice looking, washed and waxed. No walkups allowed. I think it is downright odd. But I guess it makes the Lutherans feel good.

I cannot say how often this happens, but it definitely does happen that "stay at home" girl takes care of the house by not doing much and ordering doordash every single meal. That stuff adds up horrendously fast. Even if you don't count the delivery fees, the restaurants mark up the food because Doordash charges them a fee for the privilege of having their food listed. And Doordash sometimes marks up the food further.
Its easy 30% higher through them even before fees, than at the restaurant. More, sometimes. But mama ain't got time for all that cookin' and cleanin'

No. You always use loaded language, by the way. It makes it sound like a moral judgement, and not an economic observation.
Cars are essential in the US unless you can figure out how to get around without one.
Cars can either be bought all at once, or on an installment plan.
People who can scrape together the 5-10K for a used car off the side of the road are not the poorest - they have the ability to scrape together 5-10K. They are also not the most desperate since they have assets.
People who can scrape out 400-700 dollars a month for reaaaaallly long installment plans are taking a hit of income, but they will have no wages if they can't commute, and it is not a 5K hit.
Add to that the system of loans makes it an advantage to always have debt, and the more debt you have and can service, the easier it is to secure loans.
This is the perverse incentives that force poor decisions.

So if you offer them freebies they will take them. And the more easy you make it to get the freebies the more people that will take them.
Of course we are at such a stupid point in time the argument is no longer about how to handle welfare for heritage Americans who don't want to work. We are arguing at the national level about whether the government should use taxpayer dollars to bring foreigners here and put them on welfare for life

$5 in lunch meat
$1 in cheese
and $4 in bread will make you about 3 sandwiches.
Conversely if I do go get lunch it is generally going to be around $15

You can buy canned chicken at Walmart for $1.40 or so, and use it to supercharge soup or chili, either of which can be had for less than $2.00 for a 16-oz. can. I know, those are not as healthy as cooking the soup or chili up yourself. But for many years I was worried that if I tried to cook something and it did not come out right, or at least edible, I'd have thrown away money I could ill afford to lose. That mindset is hard to lose.

Paramount/Skydance to California: Drop Dead
Paramount is being bullied by California AG Rob Bonta in a lawsuit 12 other left-wing AGs have joined to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. As I've mentioned, they are animated by the all-but-admitted position that conservatives just aren't allowed to own major media companies, or just non-gonzo-liberals, as David Ellison seems to be. They are blocking the completion of the purchase so that the company they prefer to take over Warner Bros., the super-left-wing Netflix, can buy it instead.
Which shows their complaints about anti-trust and "reducing competition in the industry" to be, as usual, communist lies. This is a particularly bad hostage situation for Paramount, who, as part of its offer to buy Warner Bros,, promised to pay Discovery Warner shareholders seven million dollars per day if it was not able to complete the purchase by October 1. Rob Bonta and his Soros AG goons are trying to delay this to either punish Paramount for daring to be owned by a non-liberal, or punish them so badly they agree to undo the deal entirely. In response, Paramount threatened to leave California and take Warner Bros. with it. A move that some estimate would save them a half a billion per year in taxes. They said they would move their corporate headquarters by October 1 unless Bonta and the League of Soros AGs allowed the sale. Now Paramount is showing that they're not bluffing.
Paramount Skydance is actively looking for office space in Nashville -- a sign the company is seriously considering moving at least some operations from Los Angeles amid the legal fight over its purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to two people familiar with the search who were granted anonymity to discuss it. Paramount, headquartered in Hollywood, has sought about 400,000 square feet of space in the Tennessee capital that it could move into in two to three years, according to one of the people. However, no existing building there has a vacancy that aligns with the company's needs and timeline, the person said. Representatives of the studio have also reached out to at least two real estate developers about constructing new offices in Nashville that the company could occupy in three years, the person said. Paramount representatives were recently shown a vacant multi-acre parcel outside of downtown Nashville where the company could build new headquarters, according to the other person with knowledge of the matter. ... "His intent is to be committed to California," Paramount Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim said of Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison at POLITICO's The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit in August. But, Delrahim noted, "There is a point at which you have a fiduciary duty to shareholders."
... "We cannot comment on a company's plans," Bonta's office said in a statement. "It's no secret that Paramount has been making this threat, despite its alleged commitment to California and Hollywood. What Paramount decides to do is Paramount's choice alone. We'll continue to apply the law without fear or favor and continue to be open to coming to the table for good faith discussions." The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in March. Starting in October, Paramount will have to pay roughly $7 million for each day the $111 billion deal remains incomplete. Regulatory agencies of more than 60 countries and jurisdictions have approved the merger, and the U.S. Department of Justice approved the sale in June.
I thought that Nashville, not Austin, would be the city Paramount/Warner Bros. moves to. Because it has long been the capital of the country music recording industry, it already has the infrastructure needed to support entertainment types, by which I mean, a robust cocaine distribution network and discrete high-end prostitutes. The move could be so disastrous for the already-desolated California that even Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are calling for a "compromise" settlement. I don't know what they have in mind, but I would guess they want a guarantee that Paramount/Skydance will sell CNN, HBO, and CBS to friendly leftwing interests. There is no way Paramount/Skydance would sell HBO or CBS, but I imagine they already plan to sell off CNN. Per Google's AI, here's the potential economic fallout if Paramount/Skydance does abandon the state:
Why Leaders Are Pushing for Compromise While Hollywood creatives initially signed letters opposing the merger due to fears of corporate consolidation and job cuts, the threat of Paramount leaving the state has shifted the stakes completely. Industry analyses indicate a worst-case scenario where a total relocation could devastate the local entertainment ecosystem, risking: Up to 58,000 full-time jobs statewide. $21 billion in annual economic output. Over $1.1 billion in lost annual state tax revenue.I hope they follow through with the threat.

No way that studios have been making plans to do this forever, that there isn't already an infrastructure around Atlanta, or that a state like Texas wouldn't mow down any regulatory hurdles to get a huge movie studio HQ outside Dallas.

Whenever someone does the meme "The last Republican mayor...." blaming Democrats for failed cities, I point this out.
1st, the tax base changes. From industry and commerce to social services and support of those on transfer payments. (school, criminal justice, retail...)
2nd, the new people elect anti-industry government.
In some places, like NY and LA things are more complicated, but what has destroyed our cities is that first they chase out the industry. High taxes, high regulation, union friendly, bloated government, ... then the tax base that cares about this stuff leaves.
The problem is these cities get too much money from state, federal grants, welfare payments to citizens, and billionaires in industries that are isolated (finance, silicon valley, Hollywood...)
LA losing film is a big deal. Without film they are just Mexico City with nicer roads.

Picture taking a plane or train like a very slow teleport. Plot your life graph on a map like they don't count as moving at all, since you're not experiencing the space in-between. In other words, treat all airports and all train stations as the same point, so that a world traveler will have lots of overlapping maps, one layer for each airport or train station that he's disembarked at.
So then the question will be, what's the furthest he's traveled where he could get out and stretch, feel the breeze, smell its stink? I would bet that a lot of worldly cosmopolitans have never been outside of a 50-mile radius by that reckoning, staying close to their "teleport chambers." Like a high-tech medieval peasant, really.

I had the same expectation, but because of the work culture. Part of what made Hollywood work was its vast network of every kind of craftsperson to build sets and operate equipment, with punctuality and professionalism. And Nashville has a pro culture, where the machine needs to be fed, and musicians know to show up and play without drama.
Austin, I believe, does not. It's practically a "sister city" with Portland and Brooklyn, from people moving between them. It would not have met the hidden greater need for a stable cadre of pros, and cultures are fiercely resistant to change.

And those people, probably largely elderly, are never going to vote any way but left. It's baked into the cake until the Grim Reaper makes his move. I just don't see this "power" that CNN supposedly has.

I suspect you are right about that. Austin still thinks it's the laid back hippy town that it was in the '70s. Elon may be helping to change that but it won't happen quickly.

There is no way Paramount/Skydance would sell HBO or CBS, but I imagine they already plan to sell off CNN.
Sell CNN? I've got a better idea, buy WB, make the "promise" and once it's theirs shut them down completely. Cut power to the building, leave everyone's shit packed up from their desk in boxes stacked in the parking lot for the former employees to pick up along with their last paycheck and liquidate all the desks and broadcast equipment at auction.
Or sell CNN to Elon for $100 and a Tesla for Ellison's mistress.

Not because Americans demanded it. Because corporations keep groveling to Islam.

Depends on the laws of the origin state and the destination state. There are two moves. Moving operations or headquarters and changing the state of incorporation.
When they move operations they open offices, move assets, update addresses, and register to do business in the new state.
Changing the state of incorporation changes which state's corporate laws govern the company. If both states allow it, there's a redomestication process dictated by law. If that's not allowed by one or more states, they can form a new company and merge the old one into it. There's also the option to dissolve the original company and form a new company. This is a last resort and not usually recommended.

I thought that Nashville, not Austin, would be the city Paramount/Warner Bros. moves to. Because it has long been the capital of the country music recording industry, it already has the infrastructure needed to support entertainment types, by which I mean, a robust cocaine distribution network and discrete high-end prostitutes.

Between the Port of Houston (notorious for its sex traffic), and the Mexican border, I'm betting TX is better than TN for hookers and blow.
But, Nashville has literal sluices of entertainment money gushing through it.
I figured it was more of a competition between them and Atlanta. Atlanta has way more film production already in place. But TN has a better tax environment and more stable government than GA.

You don't understand my point: it is the processing power of the machines that has to be controlled to forestall the prospect of a super intelligence. While you can create a neural net in a single computer, you can't spread that net among separate machines and maintain its coherent operation. That is why insects are limited in their thinking ability: the communication bottleneck limits their collective intellect.

Just curious, how many computers have you designed? I spent 40 years doing just that. I understand the problems of hardware design to a level that very few people on the planet even approach. Most computers are designed by teams of engineers. I've done the entire job repeatedly by myself. One of the engineers I worked with told me years later: "I didn't understand how good you were until I saw an entire team of engineers fail to do something that I saw you easily do by yourself." I'm using PC's in this description because the rest of you are familiar with them, not because of limitations on my part.

Study: Blue States with Strong Teachers Unions Influence Have, for Some Reason, the Lowest Student Literacy Rates in the Nation
You know those teachers unions only care about the kids.
It's all about the kids, you know. When they shut down the schools for a year and a half so that teachers could sit at home on their asses and literally phone in their lessons, that was all for the kids, too.Their lazy, greedy stance has resulted in the worst literacy rates in the nation.
This is a novel use of the word "shocking" I wasn't previously aware of.
Blue states with strong teachers' unions overwhelmingly have worse student literacy scores than Republican states where educators don't have as much say over policy, a shocking new analysis found.
In New York state, they've decided they will just stop teaching students and, so parents won't know, they'll stop administering the Regents Exam, which tests for minimum educational achievement at graduation. Not enough students from "different communities" were passing the minimum standards exam, while Asian students passed at a rate of 86% and white students at 87%. So instead of solving the problem, or at least ameliorating it, they'll just destroy all records of their failure. What is more shocking is that a board member of the Regents exam explains that asking black and Hispanic kids to pass a minimum-competency test is like... testing a fish to see if it can climb a tree. Fish can't climb trees, and therefore, she implies, black and Hispanic kids are just not capable of passing a minimum-standards test and should be excused from doing so. But you're the Racists, Racists.
At least eight of the ten states where students had the worst literacy scores were liberal strongholds with politically powerful teachers' unions, while just five were Republican and one was a swing state, a recent assessment from the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) found. New York -- where more than half of third- to fifth grade students failed their reading proficiency exams this year -- was among the worst-performing states, and also had some of the strongest teachers' unions. The top-performing states, meanwhile, were overwhelmingly conservative and had less politically powerful unions -- of the 23 top-performing states, 13 were Republican majority and just 4 were Democratic hubs. Even with the findings stretched out to the top 32 best-scoring states, a mere 7 were Democratic states and only four of them were ranked in the 25th percentile for teachers' union power, according to the Wall Street Journal. ... And Canter's study found one overwhelming and shocking throughline -- the stronger the state's teachers' union the worse its student literacy scores were, results which did not exclusively follow party lines but strongly trended that way and often to the detriment of Democrats. "Democrats, however, don't often ask me how to replicate Mississippi's success," Canter said. "They ask if it's possible at all, given the power of teachers' unions in their home states." ,,, "We found a strong, negative correlation between the two -- the more powerful the unions, the fewer literacy policy principles the state had adopted," Canter said.

They will argue that they spend more and have bigger unions because they have more diverse student population, and more kids with special needs, and more ESL students.
They will claim that this is the cause of poor performance. That is why the recent Mississippi shift was so important -- they have a high population of minority kids, but they are doing much better with phonics than the patented "Professor Howard Hill Think Method of Reading."
But it is a lot deeper. The data is there for states like CA if they just analyzed it to find what schools do good, etc. but they don't want to expose their failure.

Ranks in the bottom 5 in education
Ranks in the top 5 in spending per student.
Every election the teachers complain that they need more money and are paid too little and have to spend their own money for classroom supplies.
Every election the voters go "gosh, its for the children" and vote* for more money for schools.
And the teachers never seem to be paid enough and they still have to buy their own classroom supplies.

Every election the voters go "gosh, its for the children" and vote* for more money for schools.

You have described my county. Every 2 years some new bond measure f0r tHe ch1ldREn is put to the voters. Every 2 years it passes with 65-70%. And every 2.5 years people start to complain property taxes are too high.
Test scores? They never improve of course. But teachers get fat raises and that’s what really matters.

So they really want more of them (immigrants) for more cash, and low test scores is just not an issue -- why bother even testing.
I knew a woman (illegal) in NJ (15 years ago) who moved from NY for more benefits. She had kid with "learning problems." She got visits from social workers, special doctors, extra cash -- I swear there was an army of state workers for this woman's little retard. He was completely normal though, just a lazy thug.
The only relief to the taxpayer is when he graduates to crime and then we have to pay for his lawyers and jailers.
(Oh, the dad was amnestied and on disability (SSDI for ""bad""" back). He spent most of his time working in South America and only came to USA for the checks.)

We could offer to provide them food and housing, in exchange, they would volunteer to plant and harvest the crops.
We'd even let them, in slow months, hire themselves out to neighbors for a little spending money.
Naturally, we'll have to have some sort of "overseer" to ensure they don't leave their free housing without permission and show up on time to plant and harvest.
But that would be all "voluntary" of course.

Modern Popularity: The specific wording often circulates online, mistakenly paired with Einstein’s name to give the sentiment more authority.

Someone looked and noted enrollment was down 1/3 over the last 10 years and noted that the school budget should be going down. So where was the increase in spending? Mostly administrators.
The school budget increase actually LOST. And...they didn't fire any teachers/close any schools. In fact as far as I can see they did...nothing.
The geniuses in the town though re-elected the same town officials all of whom supported the tax increase. Because their opponents were scary people with crazy ideas like uh, not raising taxes.

And that is the secret behind the Oregon thing I did above: the teahers are paid pretty well and do get raises, but almost all the money people keep voting for goes to the administration, not the teaches.
The reason teachers keep having to buy makers and paper is because the administration gets all the money. You don't see the budget going to classroom supplies (uness its purchasing Apple tablets), it goes to the new vice president of diversity and hiring another therapist and 3 new secretaries for each office.

@neetu_arnold
New York Regents member Felicia Thomas-Williams on why she thinks students shouldn't have to take Regents exams to graduate:
"You don't assess a fish on climbing a tree because fish can't climb trees"
Maybe asking a student to read or do math on a test is a little more reasonable than asking a fish to climb a tree?
-------------------
If it isn't reasonable -- if certain populations are incapable of reading, writing, and arithmetic -- then maybe it's a mistake to let them have a say in the community's governance. If they also belong to a community that cannot be held accountable because hormones, then that's a double strike against their franchise.
Now, I don't believe either proposition. But I'm for sure not going to accept that they are superior beings who get authority over me while being less accountable. Authority (including the vote) requires responsibility, which requires accountability. It must be revoked and forbidden otherwise.

North Africa is really more part of the Med community of civilizations then part of SubSaharan Africa.
And Ethiopia is interesting because they stayed tied to the western religious tradition and kept connection with the Med/Middle Eastern civilizations

In Denver metro, there were two districts (Douglas & Jeffco) that staged a revolt and turned their boards red.
Every teacher went on strike, started pickets along miles of sidewalks, while the CEA & NEA helicoptered palettes of cash into lawsuits and recalls. The whole thing was over in less than a year.
These union fortresses can't be assailed. Not at this time.
But if you live in a rural/small town district, by all means, vote in those elections to maintain your toehold.

Well of course, I was being glib. Your boys are amazing because they had an amazing mom. I am glad you are happy where you are, and I agree it’s very pretty. Same with California. Unfortunately, the politics of the areas outweigh the pretty for me, but that is my choice and I understand others make different choices for very legit reasons. Luckily, I get to live in a very pretty place, too, that happens to be red. I am extremely blessed, I never lose sight of that fact.

Well-heeled communities and schools are battling kids relying on tablets, etc. and are demanding old fashioned classroom teaching.
Unfortunately, administrators are not ready to administer the
many teachers that are just not ready to teach full time or even any time.
Others - like in Philly and other urbanized areas - are not prepared to come off their unique jobs and titles and sit their butts in the classroom as legitimate school teachers of children.
There are compromises in some before mentioned communities in that tablets, etc. will no longer be employed as primary teaching tools until fifth grade.
The teachers unions are also not pleased at all about stories of teaching success - cursive handwriting, phonetics for reading, etc.- from Mississippi and other southern states.

That wasn’t NAEP. It was how many of 18 *bills* a legislature passed. Mississippi 18/18 vs New York 2/18 is a statute count, not a kid who can decode.
2024 NAEP Grade 4 proficient: Massachusetts 40%, New Jersey 38%. Blue. Nation 30%. Mississippi 32% — not first.
Line NAEP against child poverty and the jersey story dies. Mass/NJ/CT *and* Louisiana/Mississippi/Florida beat the poverty line. Oklahoma, West Virginia, New Mexico, Maine, and Oregon miss it. Wisconsin is dead average.
Red map ≠ readers. The split is poverty plus whether you made teachers teach phonics — not team color. Using a policy checklist to own the libs is the same cheap trick you mock when they do it.

A Haitian Woman Attacked and Then Gnawed On the Face of a Woman, Disfiguring Her Forever.
Canadian Courts Gave Her a Reduced Sentence So That This Doctor/Engineer Wouldn't Be Deported.
Seal the northern border, reduce visas for Canadians, increase tariffs to 50%, permanently.
We must insulate ourselves from this demonic nation.Woman convicted of disfiguring biting attack given reduced sentence because she's HaitianFour years is "too harsh" for eating the face of a stranger and disfiguring her for life?
Tristin Hopper: In a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported
I'm done with Canada. I'm done with Europe. Cut them off and leave them to rot. And it's time to consider separating some states from the US.
By Tristin Hopper A Haitian woman who disfigured a stranger in a Montreal-area biting attack has been given a reduced sentence by a Quebec judge on the grounds that a harsher prison term would endanger her "precarious immigration status."
Just two days after Christmas in 2022, Macdala Monfiston spent eight minutes viciously attacking a woman outside a bar in Laval, Que., leaving the victim with bite marks all over her arms and face. Court records described one of the facial wounds as being "several centimetres long, necessitating repeated treatments and leaving a prominent scar." Video of the assault obtained by The Journal de Montreal shows Monfiston pulling the victim's hair, kicking her motionless form on the ground and straddling her body while biting at her face. "When I tell people I was bit, they ask me what kind of animal, if it was by a pit bull. They can't believe it's a person who did this to me," the victim told the paper in a French-language interview. Although good Samaritans attempted to intervene, they were held back by Monfiston's boyfriend.
After Monfiston pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in early 2025, a Court of Quebec judge sentenced her to four years in prison -- the sentence already a fraction of the maximum 14-year sentence set for the crime under the Criminal Code. But in a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported.
Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, anyone jailed for longer than two years is deemed guilty of "serious criminality," and loses their appeal rights in the case of a removal order.
"The prison sentence has a much greater impact on the defendant than on other offenders who might have committed similar acts," reads the French-language decision, rendered on Sept. 14 by appeals court judges Suzanne Gagné, Christine Baudouin and Genevieve Marcotte.
Kathy Hochul's pardon travesty lifts immigrant criminals over Americans' safety By Daniel McCarthy How far will New York Gov. Kathy Hochul go to keep immigrant criminals in this country? So far she'll even pardon a man convicted of an aggravated felony, if that's what it takes to prevent the US Supreme Court from setting a restrictionist precedent. Keisy Guerrero Mariano is a Dominican who spent two years in prison for committing a violent crime -- second-degree assault. Guerrero Mariano, known as "G.M." in court documents, is exactly the sort of lawbreaker Americans overwhelmingly want to see deported. But not Hochul; she granted him clemency on Aug. 28. His case stood out from those of the other five people she pardoned that day. The others were non-violent offenders who'd committed their crimes decades ago -- two in the 1980s, two in the '90s, and just one as recently as 2007. G.M. was convicted in 2015. Yet the governor decided he merited special leniency, for political reasons. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested G.M. in 2020, intending to deport him based on his criminal record. ICE had to let him go in 2022, however, because of a nationwide injunction related to COVID that required the agency to review custody of individuals with certain medical conditions. While ICE had him, though, G.M.'s lawyers challenged the agency's right to hold him for a prolonged time without a bond hearing. That's what Hochul's pardon is really about. President Donald Trump's Justice Department planned to make the Dominican's appeals a test case before the Supreme Court -- one likely to establish that G.M. and others like him are not entitled to a bond hearing. Bond hearings are an easily exploited weakness in America's immigration security: They protract the legal process of deporting lawbreakers, while also giving them an opportunity to get out of detention temporarily -- and then permanently, by failing to show up when they're due for their next hearing. G.M. came to this country legally in 2011, but he forfeited any right to remain here once he committed a felony. Now Hochul has nullified his conviction to undercut ICE's grounds for removing him, and to collapse the appeals process that was leading to the Supreme Court -- and a probable defeat for those who want to make deportation as difficult as possible.Below, video of the horrifying biting attack by the nurse/doctor/engineer. You can see the biting going on in background. And halfway through the mauling, samaritans come by to stop it, but her boyfriend, who is also a future tech mogul on the level of Tony Stark, block people from assisting the ravaged woman so that his feral monster of a girlfriend can finish eating her face. You can't see much but it's still horrifying. You have my blessing if you want to skip it and take it as read into the record.
A Haitian woman living in Canada, with an extensive criminal background beats, stomps and bites a stranger for 8 straight minutes, leaving the victim disfigured, is given a reduced sentence of 2 years LESS A DAY, so as not to meet the 2 year threshold which would get her… https://t.co/ySqBfgZLry pic.twitter.com/5SXhSsJ4od

In a stunning political move, the chief judge of the Minneapolis federal bench disclosed the behind the scenes collaboration between all judges to thwart legal proceedings related to immigration cases this year.
Patrick Schiltz, who admitted his longtime involvement in a pro-migrant nonprofit, reveals how judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings. And rather than evaluate each case individually—as is required—the judges developed pro forma orders (as I predicted) to immediately stop cases in their tracks.
This is something:
Schiltz: “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again.”

can see two reasons covered in the article why her immigration status was considered:
1- She arrived in Canada at the age of two
2- She is a single mother of 4 Canadian citizens (3 in her custody).
Deporting people who arrived before they can form conscious memories or coherently communicate is morally dubious. Deporting someone who arrived as a baby is not the same as deporting someone who arrived voluntarily as an adult.
is kinda her own fault for not getting Canadian citizenship, she chose to remain Haitian
You know we're done for when majority of people aren't even outraged by this privileged treatment of "immigrants"

That puts him in just below the top 10% in income so he's "rich".
The three things that stood out in his monthly expenses is a $3k mortgage, $2200 in daycare, and $4500 in taxes
Isn't the answer obvious? He's not as rich as he thinks he should be because the government is taking a quarter of his income in taxes. And note that's just the direct taxes.
But people keep overlooking this. I mean the guy has obviously a nice house...and he's still paying WAY more in incomes taxes.

The Michigan SC removed 20,000 names from the state sex offender registry yesterday, or about half the number on it, in a response to a ACLU lawsuit.

His wife works, and based on the way he phrased it I assume she makes a non-trivial portion of the $192k/year they make together.
But I do see people where one parent is making much less then that and paying these kind of numbers for daycare.
I think this gets to the idea some are floating to give a stipend to a stay at home parent.

Legally, CCW would be a problem in Canuckistan. So I guess women in Montreal will have to start smearing poutine all over their faces when they go out in public. At least until the Canuckians make that form of defense illegal.

But I have to say this: build the wall. Canada is lost. You cannot afford to have a failed state like this on an undefended border. Canada gives out citizenship like it's air, half the third world detritus that's immigrated here in the last fifteen years has Canadian citizenship now. Cut us off, and make it hurt, and once the collapse is over see whether whomever is left has the common sense to make a functional state again.

I know a number of middle-class couples where if you add in the associated costs of the wife's job (commute, office attire, lunches, etc.) they're spending more than if she stayed home with the kids and didn't have a job. When I point this out they just stare blankly. It's not that they have an argument for it (like "yes, but it's worth it to me to work my horrible entry-level office job" or something) they've literally just never done the math.

Mike Rogers to Rigged Debate "Moderator:" Drop Dead
Republican candidate for Senator from Michigan Mike Rogers has done the unthinkable and refused a debate with radical Islamic dogslayer Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed because the "moderator" is not moderate all. She's a leftist hack with a history of open partisanship on El-Sayed's behalf.
The Republican announced he will not participate in Tuesday night's FOX 2 Detroit debate, with his campaign pointing the finger squarely at moderator Roop Raj and what it describes as Raj's demonstrated history of "bias and favoritism" toward El-Sayed.Relatedly: MSNOW's hard-left political operatives -- Symone Sanders was a campaign spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, so you know she's a Real Journalist (TM) -- get on Hasan Piker not about his pro-terrorism, pro-murder stances, but for not following the Democrat election-deception campaign of "moderating" his speech for 50 days to Con the Rubes."Michiganders deserve to see their candidates engage in a healthy, fair debate -- not one compromised by media bias," said Alyssa Brouillet, communications director in a statement. "Roop Raj has made his position clear, from praising Abdul as 'brilliant,' to being celebrated by Hasan Piker as 'my GOAT,' and bragging about his political stunts. Mike looks forward to making his case to working families and to making Abdul answer to voters for the conman he is."

MSNOW had Hasan Piker on their podcast with Symone Sander and Eugene Daniels. Fascinating exchange here. The legacy media hosts simply can't wrap their heads around why Piker won't shut up and/or moderate for election season. Daniels: "You've said you want to be helpful. So why do things that you know are going to be harmful? Piker: "Because if it's not me, it's something else regardless." Daniels: "You don't know that." They're talking about comments Piker made over the 9/11 anniversary. (While he still has the photo of the flaming towers on his wall here). Look at the hosts' expressions and reactions during the clip. They know he's an election liability so they are absolutely perplexed as to why Piker is going to do Piker things. The Democrat playbook demands you moderate for an election then go back to being a leftist extremist. Sanders is former campaign operative, so she especially is confounded here as someone who knows how to execute that playbook.

The rest of the party gets to go hands off a little and seem moderate and sensible in comparison. Fun game they're playing.

At another point, Symone looks legitimately upset that Hasan compares Palestinian resistance to her protesting police brutality.
Its so sad to see people understand the right of one protest and see the other form as somehow being unjustified. 😢
The comments say it all. Very clearly normie Libs, not Hasan fans, and they're eating her alive. Regular ass Democratic voters are fucking fed up with their party. Wild stuff.
And people in here were all doom and gloom because of the coordinated attacks on Hasan, not learning the lessons October 7 teached us in terms of discourse and how it can change very quickly.

That's all they need to do. They can replace their useless population. The international community won't let Israel wipe them out. But they WILL allow Israel to be wiped out. The Palestinians can suffer a thousand losses, but the Israelis can't survive one, because the Muslims will never show mercy or coexist.

I like how the lessons learned from Oct 7th have nothing to do with the victims, or even the perpetrators, but how it affected messaging and online discourse.
I think the Israelis (at t least the current government) took away the real lesson- the Palestinians will never accept a peaceful coexistence, they're a suicidal murder cult that has done nothing but try to exterminate us for the last 70+ years, and will continue for the next 70+ year. The international community is against us, and our only real ally (The US) could turn at any minute. We need to strike now and completely eradicate the Palestinians while we can.

Piker is about as Muslim as he is a Commie as he is a Progressive. He got a dog to look good to his audience because America likes dogs. He makes money in streaming while he talks up anticapitalism. He shouts about landlords while his mother has huge properties in CA. When he visits China he's Mao not Muslim.

Speed Queen makes a simple, very rugged, effective washing machine.
You can also buy Trisodium Phosphate online or at the hardware store. TSP is a chemical that used to be in all of the good laundry soaps, but the EPA banned it for that use because it can cause algae blooms. I put a couple of tablespoons of TSP in the washer with my gym clothes.
I bought a 4.5lb bag of Savogran TSP and it'll probably last me a year.

Trump beat Hillary with debate help. He was unknown she was known. And he beat her ass because he understands how people think.
He knocked Biden flat out of the race in another debate. So they matter. He hammered immigration in the Kamala debate. So don't listen to anyone who tells you they don't matter.
In this case it's good that he's not bothering. The advantage is Sayeds as the less known person.

Totally Normal Heterosexual Christian James Talarico Wants You to Know He Has a Favorite Drag Queen and He'd Like to Know Your Favorite Too
Thanks to Ed Morrissey for this horror.
Not only does he have a favorite drag queen at the ready when asked, but "she" is quite the beaut. Talarico's favorite drag queen specifically targets children. Of course "she" does.🚨 WATCH
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 14, 2026
James Talarico says his “favorite drag queen” is Alyssa Edwards — who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children." pic.twitter.com/u5HNKh4CQt
Alyssa Edwards is the stage name of Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a performer who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children," and who has spent years advocating for youth drag shows. Johnson has openly discussed sharing the stage with the young dancers he trains himself. "I remember being at World Pride in New York a few years back and sharing the stage with my dance students, one of the most powerful moments of my life," he told Out magazine. In fact, the 2018 Netflix docuseries Dancing Queen featured Johnson's work with those young dancers. The Dallas Observer reported that Johnson called one 10-year-old male student his "mini-me," and that the child dressed as Johnson's drag alter ego during an episode of the show.Talarico is doing the Yasser Arafat messaging strategy of telling two completely different stories to two different audiences. For the left, he loves drag and has a favorite drag performer who targets children. But when it's time to pitch himself to moderates, he claims his prior statements were "cringey" and "missed the mark." Of course he's lying about disavowing his past statements. His own lesbian pastor says so. (And of course he has a lesbian pastor.) She reassured voters who are worried about Talarico's "moderate" messaging, telling them not to worry, Talarico is just pretending to be "moderate" "for the next 50 days," and the moment he wins, the real Talarico will be back and ready to rock out with his cock out.
Remember when Talarico professed his love for "trans children?" Do you think it's just a coincidence that his favorite drag queen is one known for working with minors? Nor is this the first time Talarico's affinity for kids in drag has surfaced. Last month, we reported that Talarico headlined a 2021 Pride Month festival in Taylor, Texas, that featured an 11-year-old boy performing as a drag queen. The event also featured pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a children's "drag story hour," and adult drag performers. Talarico was there, too, mingling with the crowd as if nothing depraved and predatory was going on. ... Photos from the event show Talarico chatting and posing for pictures while the boy performed a routine organizers billed as part of a "Youth Drag Show." One attendee even posted video of the child doing the splits on stage, being sexualized for the crowd.
An undercover journalist for the Daily Wire caught Rev. Babs Miller, a "minister" at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Talarico's longtime "church," on hidden camera discussing exactly what we've suspected all along. Talarico has drawn Republican criticism for his professed love for "trans children," claiming that there are seven genders, and that "God is non-binary." Miller knows who Talarico is, and isn't buying his attempt to rebrand himself. "He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was." That's the whole scam, according to the guy's own "minister." When the undercover journalist suggested Talarico simply "has to play this game" to win, Miller agreed, saying, "That's what his campaign has convinced him of." She added that the Democrat Party broadly is softening its posture on transgender issues, saying "his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50... days."
She continued, "I think it's bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay..." Because it's okay to lie if it means you get elected.

Close. He was asked who is his favorite drag queen IN TEXAS. Not nationally, or among celebrities, but he's expected to have a detailed enough knowledge of drag culture to know what states they're from.
And he had an immediate answer, because he DOES follow it that closely.

There is a certain tenor to this that may be splitting hairs.
I never got rocky horror. The whole deal seemed silly, gay and just ... disturbing. I get making fun of movies ala Rifftrax, but the thing with Rocky Horror seemed to be a separate thing.
My point being, back in the day trannies seemed to be disturbed dudes who mostly were gay. But it was always an adult activity. Ru Paul was a good example of this. More... crossdresser than transsexual.
These days, there seems to be far more of these trannies who ONLY, desperately want access to kids.
The one aberration seems different than the other. One can be tolerated in a strong culture, the other must be ruthlessly suppressed because it is a contagious cancer.

If one answer would turn you from Talerico back to that savage Paxton, then just go with Paxton because you don't deserve anybody as good as Talarico. This is why people stop caring about Texas and Florida
He's definitely going to hurt trans people, doesn't support abolishing ice, will try as hard as possible to snatch guns. I'm so disappointed.
Newsweek: James Talarico Leads Ken Paxton With Every Pollster for First Time
Yeah, we've all seen this before -- A democrat leading the polls in a red state right up to election day, then suddenly the GOP candidate wins by thousands of votes. Democrat voters don't need to just win, they need to win so convincingly that the GOP can't plausibly tamper with the vote counts.
Especially in Texas, they are removing voter registrations and closing polling places at alarming rates simply to fuck with democratic voters.

Most AGs are just generic party members to most of the voting public.
Paxton is probably not that. He's chased the limelight as AG for years. He was the central figure of wrath by the GOP establishment in the state to the point where they impeached him. And in the lead up to that impeachment, he won by 10 points.
The baggage against Paxton is old news and bringing it up will persuade no one.

Talarico isn't winning TX. Here's an indication - Bloomberg News was one of the first outlets to promote Talarico last year, before he had aspirations to run for Senate. He hasn't been asked back lately, even though the paid commenters still talk up his candidacy.

Lemme 'plain. Rocky Horror was not a good movie. I'm not saying that it was the single worst film ever made but if it were nominated for that award I wouldn't be surprised.
The point of Rocky Horror is to go to a midnight showing with friends, shitfaced drunk, and pick up some equally drunk chicks for a night of unmemorable, and likely unremembered, sex. That's why the audience does so much shit, to take away from the fact that paid admission to an awful movie.

The story of Texas is the story of the Democrat establishment from the 80s changing uniforms when the electorate under them went hard to the other side.
It has taken decades to weed out the Republican establishment of that influence, but the Paxton impeachment failing and the Speaker of the House losing his primary in response is the beginning of the end of the shift of the politics of the TX establishment towards something more like conservatism.

Paxton go 13% in this year's run off.
Talarico will not get more than 9%.

Wait, I think that's wrong. Talarico will get more than that because Democrat; But he will receive a much lower % than traditional Democrat loser.

What is funny is watching the left ret-con Cruz as some sort of campaigning juggernaut; "so of course Allred lost."
Because they were trying to give traction to Cornyn's lie about how Paxton was lazy.
But good lord, echoing above, Cornyn has gone 10X on proving every single accusation against him was true since he lost--he hate, hate, hates conservatives.

1. It was him versus Jasmine Crockett.
2. Texas Democrats are 4 factions: 1. Hispanics who have been Democrats for generations -- neighborhoods with precinct chairs that are well-organized to turn out the vote, etc. -- although they're losing men to Republicans at the ballot box; 2. Blacks (again, losing some men at the ballot box); 3. Public sector employees and their unions. Talarico is acceptable to all of those as a compromise, even if they're not enthusiastic about him. Who loves him is faction 4: Austin weirdos. He has represented an Austin district with a high weirdo percentage and has never run statewide. The Talarico act does not play well in Wichita Falls and Tyler and Brady and Conroe.

It's a consequence of Dems learning the way to get a Democrat nomination is to go far enough left in the primary to capture the base of crazies who will go vote come hell-or-high water. Democrats don't push their registered voters to make a big turn-out for primaries. Because the local Dem Party honchos didn't want their captured union and other small groups out-voted. But their captured groups keep going farther left each election cycle. Obviously a factor they believed they could harness and tame for primaries. The best laid plans...

Your IP address is available to anyone who has the tools. And the government has those tools. Your cell phone pings constantly, even when you turn it off.
We might be somewhat anonymous to each other but if you think you are truly anonymous in this time from people who want to know who you are you are mistaken.
The internet sends you ads for the same stuff you searched on 10 minutes ago and you think the government doesn't have the same capability? They helped create the internet.

I'm not worried about the government. I am insignificant to them and they know where I live. I'm concerned about the malevolent creeps that want my routing number or my credit card number -things like that.
The government used to go after people like that with a vengeance.
The government doesn't do jack about these crimes or the criminals that do them.

AFAIK, every single moron actually from Texas is saying that Paxton will win and it won't be close. Pollsters and people who live thousands of miles away say otherwise.
Paxton was elected AG 3 times. Over a dozen members of the State House lost their seats when they impeached him. 3 members of the state Supreme Court lost their seats when they decided to weigh in against him.

Do people think that polling got better between 2024 and 2026?
Remember, don't compare the polls in late summer now to the final, late October polling from 2024.
Compare the polling now to the late summer polling from 2024. When Kamala was winning every national poll by 4-8.
Hell, Ann Selzer's final poll of Iowa was off by double digits, and Selzer was the "gold standard".
Raise of hands, who thinks polling firms decided that they were going to make things better AND actually made changes that improved things?

Anyway her latest video was that the 2026 mid terms will be like the 2020 contested election because it has the same star energy or some shit.
Now the funny part I guarantee some of the 2026 election will be contested. Because Dems cheat. But she will take credit I am sure as predicting it via astrology

Months of mail in cheating wasn't enough, so they ballot box stuffed like Tammany Hall to barely get an electoral college victory for Biden.
Sure, 2026 can have the exact same energy as 2020.
I don't think it'll turn out the same, though. Because, you know, mail in voting has been massively curtailed almost everywhere and the Trump 2.0 DOJ is far more serious than the Trump 1.0 DOJ under Billy Barr or Jeff Sessions.

The Morning Rant
"He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was."What's interesting about this is that if the polls are to be believed, Talarico is leading Paxton, so his previous, longstanding and creepy lunacy about transsexualism and children and homosexuality should be a part of his seemingly winning platform. That he is shifting to a more Texas-friendly stance tells me that he isn't winning. Lying to get elected certainly isn't reserved fro Democrats. The corporate wing of the Republican Party has embraced lying for generations! Run as a conservative, then vote in Congress as a squishy accomodationist who is willing to subvert the will of the voters for financial gain. Cornyn did it for years, and the fact that Texas finally got tired of his sh*t is a signal that MAGA sensibilities are becoming more popular. What surprises me is that the Texas Democrat Party didn't dig up a moderate Democrat who could run on the archaic but successful principles that convinced America that Democrats represented the everyman. It's not true, and has never been true, but it worked for a long time, and my bet is that it would have worked in Texas against Paxton, who has shown very little skill at campaigning and communicating his platform. But the Democrat Party has been overwhelmed by the insanity of transsexualism, DEI, Critical Race Theory, overt socialism, rejection of traditional America, and a host of other sophomoric but dangerous themes. So a traditional Democrat won't get much traction. The new Democrat Party is saying the quiet part out loud, and hopefully America is listening.

Doesn't seem to be working for him either.

He's obviously being packaged to appeal to Lefty women, with his dancing tv ad, his Love Island parody ad:
The new ad is apparently a takeoff on the reality show Love Island (no, I don't watch it, either), and El-Sayed is portraying a contestant who's looking for love and talking all about himself. While standing in front of a pink background, he tells the camera that his name means "servant leader" and that corporate money gives him "the ick.". . .
It gets worse. El-Sayed proceeds to tell viewers about his "type," his "red flags," and what he plans to bring to "Senate Island," all while repeatedly making references to Medicare for All as part of the schtick. At one point, he even declares that "nasty toes" give him the ick.

Cornyn had been doling out favors to his supporters in Texas for over 20 years and had huge support from the Thune controlled NRSC slush fund and Paxton took him down. The idea he has no support in Texas is nuts.

Be aware Karl Rove has tormented Paxton since he beat Rove's candidate Dan Branch for Texas AG in 2014. All of the bullshit insider trading accusations they tried to make against him failed. Siccing the Houston attorneys on him didn't work. Getting the RINOs in the Texas House to shit the bed with that impeachment scam was a glorious backfire.

This is a misreading, I think. It's a relic of a different media environment.
Polling is somewhere between honest mistakes (response rate bias) and just outright fraud, with a shocking amount just being fraud by this point.
The electorate does not shift materially over a few months, especially not a few weeks. What happens is that progressives just are more enthused about...answering pollster phonecalls and sticking through the whole survey (many pollsters don't use responses if the respondent doesn't complete the survey all the way).
If the primary polling is any indication, we may be looking at one of the worst polling misses in the last 20 years. Polling firms are simply not getting the white working class voters at all, and they're not correcting for it.

3) he's not Talafrico or Cornyn.

I pray for my enemies every single day.
The thought of anyone spending eternity apart from Him is too horrible to contemplate for too long.
And yes, I don't want to hear those words from the Lord myself, all because I found it easier and less burdensome to wish ill on my enemies than to pray for their salvation.
Sharing the Gospel is our job.

You want to know the percentage of people who voted in 2022 but not 2020? It was like 1%.
From 2024 to now, brand new registrations are 0.7% of the registration pool.

Polling is somewhere between honest mistakes (response rate bias) and just outright fraud, with a shocking amount just being fraud by this point.
The electorate does not shift materially over a few months, especially not a few weeks. What happens is that progressives just are more enthused about...answering pollster phonecalls and sticking through the whole survey (many pollsters don't use responses if the respondent doesn't complete the survey all the way).
If the primary polling is any indication, we may be looking at one of the worst polling misses in the last 20 years. Polling firms are simply not getting the white working class voters at all, and they're not correcting for it.

Crockett won Obama levels of the black vote in the primary against Talarico.
When there's a clear racial preference in a Democrat primary, and the black choice loses, black turnout goes down in the general election.
It won't be complete collapse. The black vote won't go from 13% to 2% in Texas. But it will go from 13% to 12%.

Our committed partisans who obsess over politics are as numerous as theirs.
The 24/7/365 news environment is just a place where there's always going to be enough people on every side of the aisle to answer polls, to fill out the 300-400 responses a polling firm needs to cover our side.

But the Book of Revelation was written for a reason.
A lot of things in that book makes a whole lotta sense when viewed through the lens of technology.
No one buys or sells unless they have the mark can only happen when the world is so interconnected, that there is no privacy whatsoever, unless you go totally off grid, and even then, one risks being found.
IMHO, AI development kinda has to happen.

The GOP's spending advantage is allowing them to put decent money into the cheaper markets there which should coincide with some GOTV efforts. So, we'll see.

I've seen majority negative Cooper ads so far (and exclusively anti-Cooper mailers despite me being a registered Independent and Dolley being a registered Democrat in the state).
But, the real kickoff was last night, alongside news over the last week of PACs and other groups throwing in some solid money into the state pro-Whatley and con-Cooper.
Cooper himself is saying it's a 1-3 point race.

Was in an experimental system in junior high, programmed learning. Student goes through material at his/her own pace, takes a 'quiz' at the end of a lesson, a 'test' at the end of a chapter. In algebra, about 6 weeks into the term, one of the teachers who was supposed to be 'just answering questions' gathered the ones who hadn't got far enough and put them into a standard classroom. She added more as time went by and about 40% of the class was sitting in front of her by the end of the school year. The district ended the experiment the next year.

I always mess up on the 'can you be in two places at once' interview question. I know they want 'yes,' but I can't figure out a credible followup to 'good, how would you do it?'

Government at every level is wildly overfunded.
My metric is if your state has the funds for a squirrel killing assualt team you could knock your state budget by 90% with no impact visible to normies, I guess outside of their pets not getting murdered.

Arizona.
Myself and multiple co-workers have been trying to find employment elsewhere with no luck.
I have applied for jobs I am definitely qualified for and never even received a "piss off" response.
I'm hearing a lot of it in general here.
Also noticed the wages being offered are down
People seemed to think Trump would magically restore food prices, gas, etc. to what they were before Biden sent them into orbit.
That it hasn't happened will cause a loss in support from the LIVs.

Our local ISD is going to put some bonds on the ballot this year, mostly to give teachers and staff a salary increase. Our test scores are median, at best, but we want the 'best' teachers, don'cha know?
I know a couple of substitute teachers. Their stories are wild. Home-schooling is the way to go, unfortunately.

Honestly this is the reverse of the direction we should go.
Teaching should be mostly an end of career type job for people with expertise in their field.
I was a chemistry teacher who is a 30 year industry vet who wants to semi-retire. Not a 25 year old with a masters of Ed who has only learned anything about chemistry from binge watching Breaking Bad.

I wish I had the connections to finance a Ponzi scheme.
Most celebrities and athletes are stupid as hell and rich as Croesus. They're the schwerpunkt for a Ponzi scheme. Rope in a a couple of big talent agents/managers, and show them 25% returns. From there, draw in their retarded clients, and really open up the sluices.
The whole time, live modestly, and at least apparently work long hours.
No luxury apartments or extravagant parties, except for wooing clients, in an official business context.

Set a reasonable goal, say $75-100m, then ghost everyone and flee the country when you hit it, or the heat is on, whichever comes first.

Celebs do dumb things every day.
I mentioned this the other day, but apparently Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce did not have the talk, when they were engaged, about what his having to be in KC during the season actually looks like. She was on tour for most of their courtship. Now she's finding out. Apparently she does NOT want to move into her WAG football wife era, even though she could write and record music in KC. She wants to stay on the coasts and hang with her girl squad. But he can't exactly work remote for training. I wonder if she's going to push for him to retire, which if he lost $35M he might not want to. Or transfer to a team in LA or NY.

Cardi B had a career, before rapping about wet female parts, as a ho drugging and then robbing her clients... yaaas kween get that bread!
Sydney Sweeney being a model and not hurting anyone... worst woman ever!
And I can't even with them being more enraged at her than the Clancy woman. Zero compassion for Sweeney as a woman making money, vs calling a woman a hero for killing her babies.

If republicans politicians in CA and nationally had any brains, they'd be hanging the Paramount Studios fleeing CA, with its like $22B in lost revenue fleeing too, squarely at the feet of Newsome and the CA democrats. Their policies caused this!
That, plus the union strike they had right after Hollywood was still recovering from COVID, plus woke DSA politics, plus ballot fraud.
What big company has to flee CA to finally wake the politicians up that they are the problem?

The first wave, the Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony era, was not toxic. They were both fiercely pro life and pro baby, and wanted women to get the vote so they could PROTECT and have a say in their kids' lives. They would be slapping all the modern pro choice women silly right about now. The idea of a woman not protecting babies would be anathema to them.

The Morning Report — 9/ 17 /26
If you needed another reminder why this year’s midterm elections are so important, Barack Hussein Obama II is back to make the case: Democrats intend to seize control over artificial intelligence and shape it to their advantage. . . Obama’s not against the technological reality of artificial intelligence; he just wants to make sure Democrats are in complete control of it. This is what disciples of Big Government do: They write laws, rules, and regulations that give preferred companies monopoly power within a given industry, and in return, the corporate beneficiaries of these unfair privileges do Big Government’s bidding. This is the leftist, globalist, crony-capitalist model of governance throughout the West. First, governments conjure a problem that can be used to scare the public. Then their partners in the corporate news media hammer that problem until the public demands government action. Finally, governments propose new laws that infringe upon the public’s freedoms while allocating new powers to the fearmongering governments. Scaring people until they beg for more government is how authoritarianism and totalitarianism take hold.On a separate note, and speaking of the midterm elections, I give you the madness that is the Democrat Left.
Lawrence, a former DSA member running in a swing district, made the comment during a Swarthmore College debate that also saw him endorse abortion rights 'whether you're a man or a woman or any other gender' . . . William Lawrence, the far-left Democrat nominee for a competitive House race in Michigan, called for "abolishing the institution of marriage," arguing that because it "comes from a particular religious and cultural background," it is at odds with the "separation of church and state," video footage obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.Yeah makes total sense, and from that abortion we go to the utterly repulsive on every level...
Hollywood actress, writer, and producer Lena Dunham is welcoming her first baby into the world, despite saying in the past that abortion is “a huge part of who I am.”My initial reaction after projectile vomiting trying to imagine the process of inseminating this disgusting mass of lipids was to have pity on the poor turkey baster that had to do the job. Even a Muslim rape gang would run the other way!!! Dunham is so out of the public eye that my thought was that she would only have the baby so as to arrange a live television event on inbred beady-eyed mouth breathing banjo boy Scarborough and concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov's Morning Joke wherein she could take advantage of Lindsay Clancy's notoriety and love affair/near beatification from Leftists and she could boost her career by strangling the infant to death a la Clancy with her bare hands, followed by the regular Al sharpton railing against diamond merchants and white interlopers! That's show biz, baby. And with that bit of insanity and depravity I bid you all to have a good day.

Then why did Sodomites who categorically reject the Biblical model of marriage want to be married?
All of these arguments are retarded and lies. Marriage has been an institution that has been enjoyed by all cultures since the beginning of recorded history.
The "separation of church and state" was just as invented as the "right to abortion". Up until this new invention was eisegeted into the Constitution, there was prayer in schools, Bible reading in public classrooms, ten commandments in public buildings like schools and court houses, and worshipful banners in the public square during Christmas and Good Friday/Easter. No one had a problem with it under the Constitution. Then the Leftists decided to evict God
And now the "separation of church and state" has been crushed under the integration of Islam into our government, plus Climate Cultism, Feminism and a vast myriad of other faith systems integrated and enforced by government.
Every religion is part of the State EXCEPT the one religion the United States was founded on.

Cutting rates would be inflationary at this point.
What Trump needs to do is get this Iranian situation under control.
That alone would have numerous positive knock-on effects.

And she feels that she can represent well the people she clearly hates, despises and wishes to replace with turd-world illiterate slaves.
Notice, she doesn't give any care or thought to culture, civility, traditions, human flourishing, community—she purely focuses on the work output. This by a woman who is a stranger to labor and any meaningful work. The Demonic Party slave holders then and slave holders now.
With cheap energy, its pretty easy and far more productive to use machinery to perform the stoop labor this communist wants people to perform. But she wants to ban energy, productivity and prefers sipping a wine while the slaves toil out in the sugar cane fields.

The Monticello coal fired plant near Mt. Pleasant, Texas was shut down and disassembled during the Owebama administration in a deal made with then Governor Rick Perry.
The plant sat near multiple lignite deposits that was used to fuel the facility. At the time of shutdown, it was estimated that at current consumption rates, there was a minimum of 150 years of lignite available to the plant close enough to it where trains wouldn't need to be used for transport.

Spoiler alert: That's always been the goal, which started with gay marriage. At the time of the SSM push, advocates admitted that A) gays didn't want marriage, they were just the camel's nose under the tent in redefining marriage, and B) the goal was redefine it to cover any sort of relationship (siblings, friends, whatever) to the point that it lost all meaning.
The Beyond Marriage organization laid it all out in detail, but the site has since disappeared.

It is a fork attack on the Saudis by America.
The Saudi's turned down the Abraham Accords.
The Saudi's were told to do it yourself.
The new Saudi Defense pact with Pakistan and Turkey failed to help them.
Areas of the world most affected are the EU, with the Saudi's declaringforce majeure, and China. Also make US energy exports earn more money. Esp. natural gas as LPG>
The second best military in the region is Israel. If the Saudi's ask for military assistance from Israel, this is a US win.

This is unreal:
When ActBlue's own legal counsel Zain Ahmad tried to report this, IT deleted his messages in real time.
This one says "Please stop deleting my requests. You are violating the laws and policies of our company." Deleted 5 seconds later.

It’s an interesting problem - the idea of bombing, exemplified by the B-52’s, is to take out high value targets in a modern state. Yet the Houthi are a mostly dispersed and rural population living at a relatively crude level already, without many high value targets themselves. Unless the US was going to bomb with the specific goal of eliminating as much of the civilian population as possible, bombing by itself won’t do much.
The Romans would have sent several legions and killed them all with swords, but we’re not capable of that kind of commitment today.

And it's part of the "magic dirt" theory that somehow, magically, everyone who sets foot on American soil becomes creedal, integrated, Americans; "just like my great, great granddaddy did when he came through Ellis Island!"
And those who believe a notion that was never fully true--and has been dead for well over 100 years--there's still this self-deception:
"Well, that person is doing things I like to do, and I'm a conservative--so they must be conservative too!"

90% of the kids in that photo Bo French posted are registered Democrats.

Many people do. It starts when children engage in anthropomorphism with their plush toys, and adults do the same with Coca Cola polar bears.
It is why dumbasses get their selves flung in the air when they try to pet wild bison or feed feral bears.
its an underdeveloped Theory of Mind where people construct a simplistic if not childish worldview and crudely apply the template capriciously over everything they encounter.
It reduces cognitive load not to have to think about things but let the emotional projection mechanism normalize all inputs into something easily harmless and disposable.
Consider it a First World problem where we can afford to stay in a permanent Condition White ignorant of everything because someone else will deal with the complications.

Economic situation would be much graver if we were paying the money out to foreign countries for the oil. Internally, we pay more to ourselves--changes distribution of income but not wealth. Oil industry is getting a windfall and promptly investing that into new production which means jobs, investment, etc. Same with mfg.
Under the old rules where we imported a lot of oil, we paid out that money and foreigners in return bought our goods, ious, and/or both raising inflation a lot more by driving down the dollar.

"the median household income increased 2.6% to $87,460."
=======
For the most part, the reason that the margin has not moved is because of a) semi permanent welfare class, and b) importation of a bunch of poor welfare consumers/frauds from other lands which is a further disincentive for the welfare class to get jobs.
If you went back to 1960's, you would find that in that society, the elderly and the young were a big component of the poor at that time but not new immigrants because US immigration laws were restrictive. Generational welfare families were primarily only in the major urban areas.

years ago, the "Poverty Threshold" was calculated based on the cost of economy food plan x 3.
Since then, like everything else the sloven government does, is multiply the Poverty Threshold by an Inflation Adjustment.
So an arbitrary number "cost of food" established years ago in the 1960s by the Social Security Administration (since we know the food supply chain, nor what is considered enough and what kind of food hasn't evolved one bit since then) is multiplied annually by yet another political and arbitrary number and this sausage making yields the benchmark for the Poverty Line.

Passing bills that go nowhere to show 'hardworking' doesn't mean much. Likewise almost all the legislation coming from the Senate is toxic bi-partisan stuff which means Democrat provisions and poison pills that Thune allows in them to get to 60.
Legislation is not like assembly line working as it fewer and better bills are more important than a slew of crappy ones. And the crappy ones are what get shoved out the door just before elections.
House needs to get out the door and start campaigning anyway to keep a GOP House rather than entertain stupid votes to bring the troops home from Iran, impeachment of Hegseth, and other pointless theatrics so that a few GOP members can join with Democrats on passing noxious look at me bills or worse, amnesty.

The family is a fixture in AK politics. Her old man was involved in GOP politics when AK first became a state, then he stepped down from the senate to become governor. He, and Ted Stevens, another pioneer GOP senator, created the modern corrupt GOP party in AK that Palin struggled against as governor. Indians, Sovereign Welfare fund, Alaska pipeline, oil revenue, and that is what drives AK politics.
It is more like the old left coast GOP now extinct in CA, OR, and WA that was surreptitiously pretty liberal compared than the rest of the US.

I disagree. Blanche knows exactly what the FBI was like under Comey and Wray. He was Trump's personal lawyer. I think he's doing a great job at the DOJ and deserves a lot of credit for stopping the weaponization and getting the agency back to its mission.
This is a large, complicated case against some of the highest ranking government officials. And the DOJ has to fight against a judiciary that we all see fighting us every step of the way.
Trump wants some results before November for obvious reasons. From that interview it sounds like DiGenova wanted more time. If anything it sounds like Blanche is pushing hard.

Saudi Arabia will sign the Abraham accords. It's simply too anxious and battered to not do it.
Houthis in the south. Hashd and the rest of Iran’s Iraqi file to the north and east. Missiles and drones aimed at the one thing a desert kingdom cannot replace: desalination plants, pipelines, transfer stations and the brochure called Vision 2030.
This is the Gulf habit meeting a bill. Talk well. Spend well. Freeze when the war is real. They called Washington, London, Cairo, Islamabad, Ankara. The United States is not opening another front for free. Pakistan and Turkey will not wear a war that reads as a fight with the “resistance.” Europe counts tanker rates. So the phone that still answers is Jerusalem.
Trump did the rest. He turned the Abraham Accords from a photo into a price of admission. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not walking to that table out of sudden affection for Zion. They are crawling because the Islamic Republic’s last working proxy is sitting on Bab al-Mandab and taking shots at the kingdom’s lungs.

Top Story
- We narrowed down where Salesforce has been spending on the order of $400 million per year on AI: Either somewhere other than their login server, or on their login server, poorly. (The Register)
Because the login server fell over. And so did Salesforce.
- And so did GPT 6 Astra after getting blown up by a creeper in Minecraft. (Tom's Hardware)
I feel its pain.
Tech News
- California is sliding into the sea. (Yahoo)
About damn time.
- Mad King Matt Mullenweg is back in charge at Automattic, the company behind exploit farm WordPress. (Tech Crunch)
Apparently the ploy by the board members was to sideline the CEO, vote themselves golden parachutes when the CEO fired them in turn, and then get fired.
Speculation - and it is only speculation - is that they did this because they believe Mullenweg has steered the company onto the rocks in ongoing litigation as well as being a nutcase generally.
- Nothing lasts longer than a temporary patch. (Jake A Smith)
In this case a stopgap fix to PHP for AOL's CMS from 2014. 20 million downloads later it is finally being retired.
- Got my first application built: It's an image manipulation server to run on your local network. Feed it images or videos in any common format and tell it what to do with them, ranging from simple resizing and format conversion to compositing and drawing with arbitrarily complicated templates, and it hands the results back to you. About a 15MB binary. That's compressed, and it takes most of a second to start up, but since it's a server you start it once and then leave it running.
Of the 39 project on my list I've started on 18 so far, but this is the first where every planned feature has been checked off.

If it does dry out a little this morning, it would be a good day to wash and spray-wax the car, which includes dolling up the tires with a semi-gloss spray. In cleaning out a lot of "stuff" yesterday, I found some Rain-X gel in a tube as well as a can of their spray windshield cleaner. I could try applying that to the glass and outside mirrors.
Seems to me I heard an old hack for that, to use chewing tobacco (no, not actually chewed) and rub it over the glass so that rain detours around the coated area. Presuming that really works, I wonder if my pipe tobacco would do the same.

If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between.

I need a better AI. Had to write out a five phase prompt just to get GPT 5.6 Sol to break out a request/response model out of an XSD, that had 160ish complex types, make abstraction models in a popular language and then serializers.
I gave it a head start with XSD, WSDL, CSV mapping and meta data files. It stumbled and fought through the whole thing and now looking at the output, if this was done by an intern, that intern would be fired.
I used 5.4 on previous work and had passable output, though it botched the serialization so that elements were skipped or got into endless loops. Only through lots of coaxing, examples and iterative assignments did it actually work.
GPT may be good for conversation, but Claude kicks its ass when it comes to enterprise grade work.

According to Baylor Universities own charter: (and About page)
• Train Baptist ministers and church leaders
• Educate future civic and professional leaders
• Promote Christian moral formation alongside academic learning
• Help build the institutions necessary for a growing Texas society.
By holding a rally for Screwtape on the campus of Texas' oldest university charted by the Republic that has remained in continuous operation since 1845, I would say that the current administration has completely rebuked the university's founders and original mission.

That is a throwback to the Boomers who also had to worry about adjusting the points and regular measuring of the spark and valve gaps.
Besides, given today's direct inject engines, no need to check oil. Either the car's engine will seize due to engineering and manufacturing defects or the vehicle will be repossessed before the first required oil change.

It started to not shift properly with the stick shifter hanging up and not going into the selected gear. Got under the car and noticed that the shift selector rods somehow became bowed. Wrapped wire around them and tightened with pliers. That would work for a while until the wire broke off. Switched to a hose clamp but even then I still had to get under the car on occasion to tighten the hose clamp as it would loosen up after a while.
Ah, college..

Have a relative with a Range Rover. Doesn't even have a oil drain plug. Have to use a special tool to suck it out of the pan through the top of the engine.

I do the same with the Buick. Sometimes I don't make 5K miles in that six months. Last interval, though, the car got up to 5400 miles, thanks to my trip to Kansas in April.
Currently the oil life monitor suggests that I could go 7000 miles before the monitor sinks to zero. Unless it was all highway driving, I don't think that's a good idea.

Prompt: What model car did George Jetson drive?
Response: George Jetson drove a fictional flying car, not a real-world model. It was often called the Jetson family car or Jetson’s flying car—a bubble-shaped vehicle that could fold into a briefcase. The design was reportedly inspired in part by the 1954 Ford FX-Atmos concept car.

I did that with two of my Mercedes, the '86 and the '97. The cars had drain plugs. But they had been designed to let you draw the oil out through the dipstick tube. I bought a Topsider vacuum can, which people use to change oil on maritime engines, and it drew the stuff out, all 8 quarts or 6, without issue. The oil filters were right on top. I never needed to crawl under the car.
Wouldn't work with my Buicks, though.

Mine Honda portable generator would start and then shut down after 30 seconds or so. Replaced the oil level sensor and that worked for a bit before the same issue returned. I rewired it, bypassing the sensor and checked the oil level manually before each start.

Wednesday Night ONT - September 16, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.The previous inception of the Wonka brand came from materials licensed from the British author Roald Dahl. His classic 1964 children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its film adaptations are the sources of both the packaging and the marketing styles of the Wonka brand. Dahl had licensed the "Wonka" name to film director Mel Stuart. The film's producer, David L. Wolper, convinced the Quaker Oats Company to advance $3 million to finance the film in exchange for the right to use the Wonka name to sell candy bars. Quaker, which had no previous experience in the film industry, bought the rights to the book and financed the picture to promote their new "Wonka Bar." The title of the film was changed to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory for promotional purposes.Wikipedia Now you know. One of our neighbors in a past life was in the movie. They had a framed golden ticket in their house. May be the only one I've ever seen.
Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink made a bombshell admission this morning, disclosing that there are on-orbit weapons deployed right now to protect America's interests in space. "Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats, wherever they exist," Meink said during his keynote address. "This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action." "That phrase was very well thought out. So whatever I said before is what I say again," he said when asked if he could elaborate in any way on those capabilities at a question-and-answer session immediately following his speech. "It is critically important that we maintain our dominance not only in the air, but in space, and so we've had to take steps to make sure that when we're threatened, we can take care of that."
U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency graphic The question is not whether this capability exists. The question is why it is being acknowledged and why now.

I think most of this space weaponry would be for "space to space" combat, not orbit to ground. Things like Rods from God are way too impractical -- just too damned expensive -- you've got to heave heavy payloads into orbit. Ballistic missiles are way, way cheaper.
Now, there are some possibilities for orbit to ground weapons on a smaller scale, maybe for some sort of small targeting.

If the Air Force and now Space Force was doing its job, the idea, if war broke out with the Chicoms or Rooskies or some space power, we'd want to take out their spy satellites and navigation systems and all that while protecting our own.
And I'm sure they been working on that for a long time.

The true story behind the crossing times for the cow are a bit more uncomfortable. That particular sign is just outside the home of Mavis Kelly. Mavis, as far as anyone in that town is aware, was a nice woman. Kind, considerate, organized....and someone who REALLY REALLY REALLY liked ice cream. If Mavis had a single vice it was that she was a flirt....and, also, had a tendency to break lawn furniture at picnics due to her excessive girth. BUT, that didn't stop Herman Williams from falling for the woman. He thought she was perfect...that is, until she laughed at him when he asked her out.
Turns out Herman was responsible for signs in that municipality. He worked for the county. And, Mavis either crossed the street to get her mail in the morning, or after work. Herman was a man who didn't take chances.

The Outer Space Treaty only prohibits nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction "in space", which is defined as an orbital trajectory.
Fun fact. The Rooskies carry sidearms on every Soyuz capsule up to the ISS.
Don't know if we do it, or if NASA would even admit it.

That gas station pic looks like late Forties-early Fifties, or maybe a little later in the latter decade. That black car looks to be that vintage. And gas stations were still using that style of pump with the big reservoir of fuel on the top, I think. I don't recall them from my kidhood in the early Sixties.
Texaco's "Sky Chief" and "Fire Chief" brands were of the Fifties. Seems I recall reading that Texaco sponosred MIlton Berle, "Mr. Television," in the early and mid-Fifties.

Air rifle works, if feasible in your area of operations.
Rodent poison also works well for me (on the raccoons that occasionally get into my attic).
I don't believe cats would eat the baits. Don't know about dogs? I wire the baits to a joist, so the poison can't be transported out of the attic.
Perhaps you could wire some on the feeder so only RB coons could reach them?

There are some treatments reportedly good for dealing with Spike protein, and if you are not worried about that, try using aloe vera and DMSO on your face for the Bell's Palsy, or ask around for the best DMSO treatment for that.

One of my brothers had Bell's Palsy, a decade or so ago. I took him to ER, both us us thinking it maybe was a stroke. (Thankfully it was not!)

They did have survival kits, no firearms but I think they had flare guns and strobes, a little drinking water, and similar kit to what the military has for downed airmen.
Lots of cool stuff in the survival and life raft kits. Through an extraordinarily unlikely series of events, I ended up with a pen flare and a couple dozen expired cartridges. Some were duds, though most were not, and were a lot of fun.

I had Bell's Palsy a few years back. Complete recovery in due time. It's a viral nerve infection, so an Rx for an anti-viral and a corticosteroid may help a lot. They did for me. See your primary care person for treatment.
Was able to do rehab/PT exercises on my own at home (from internet search) to regain control of left side of my mouth. While recovering, the left side of my mouth would get quite chapped, so keeping Vaseline jelly handy was recommended by my primary care nurse and that helped greatly.
Good luck!

Worst part of the Bell's Palsy was not blinking my left eye for two weeks. That cornea is angry!
Doc said to put in eye drops and tape it shut. Did that, and it worked loose in five minutes. Had my wife do it, worked loose in ten minutes.
Had nurses try it while I was in the hospital for the afib, worked loose in twenty minutes.
The only good thing about this episode, is that I now know that I have the eyelid strength of 10 normal men!

Now, it doesn't have an active transmitters or anything, and non gravitational forces will cause it to drift over time, but you can find some projections of where it should be via the orbital elements. The error in that will accumulate greatly over time.

I gather(?) the atrial fibrillation is not that serious of a condition in and of itself.
However, while your heart is in afib, there are some pockets in the atria with stagnant, pooling blood.
THAT is a dangerous condition. That blood will inevitably develops some clots. Clots for we 29+ year olds, lead to strokes, heart attacks, etc. depending on where the clot gets stuck.
I am already on an anti-coagulant since the ICU.
So, yes I will do good listening to my doctors.
Plus, some of you know Bride of PI, and know she will beat me to death if I do NOT follow medical advice!

Essentially you feed a song in, generate a score, give it the existing lyrics, and then tell it what you want and it retains melody and can push out covers in any style.
Fun stuff all local. You can also rewrite lyrics to do Weird Al type stuff - no patience for that but I can imagine the fun I would have had 20 years ago on some forums posting "song parodies" - and apparently you can also train an artist lora on a favorite artist (do it with a friend's band with his permission of course) and then generate new songs in those styles with those singers (with full artist permission of course, no one wants to mess around with copyright etc etc).

Wanted to thank him, because I suppose this spurred me to try it. It’s not too bad, has a bit of orange or citrus flavor, and smooths out the natural scraped-off-bottom-of-lawnmower flavor ordinary tea has. It’s got a little caffeine kick to it.

There never was a bottom bearing in the jacket; original design didn't need one. Well, I wanted one, and after much puttering, managed to fit in a cone-and-cup style ball bearing from a bicycle frame head, into a turned aluminum adapter sleeve. It turns freely. Connected the shaft to the steering box at the rag joint, and propped the wheel up on a bucket so the axis was true, and fabbed up a bracket to anchor the bottom of the column tube to the front bulkhead of the body. Steering wheel now sits in the same place, relative to the seat rails, as it did in the '61 Beetle. Might put a custom wheel on it later, but for now, the original one will do.

The car just to the left of the gas pump is a '49 Ford Custom. Note the exterior trunk hinges. I think '50 was the last year for that. '51 definitely had hidden trunk hinges. The low-mounted side chrome strip is consistent with '49, too.
I have a '49 Ford sitting in my yard, so I can be pretty confident of the ID.

About 15 years ago I was in Moab, UT, relaxing in a lovely wooded stream on an ungodly hot day. Sitting on the edge of the bank with my feet in the water, I was suddenly surrounded by a total school of tiny goldfish, and they start snacking away on my feet. It felt like the tiniest of nibbles, almost tickles. I had to sit as still as possible, otherwise the fish would freak and scatter. By the time I left my feet were smooth as anything.

I visited a friend a couple of weeks ago. He showed me a hunk of ammonite shell he is in the process of polishing. Lovely color in it. About a quarter of an entire shell, which would have been about 20 inches in diameter, I reckon. He has acquired an ammonite mining lease on the site where it was found. The shell material is regarded as a gem stone.

- Peter Max suffers from advanced dementia and lives under a court-appointed guardianship amid years of bitter legal disputes regarding his care and artwork.
- Investigations revealed that as Max's mental state declined, a team of other artists created works and signed his name to them. These pieces were sold for millions of dollars at high-volume auctions on cruise ships and in galleries.
- Max's children, along with business associates and court-appointed guardians, have been locked in intense legal fights over control of his estate and his isolation from family members
- In June 2019, his wife died by suicide in her Manhattan apartment amidst the escalating family stress and public scrutiny
