Families of 9/11 Victims Want Terrorist-Loving Communist Zohran Mamdani Banned from 25th Anniversary Remembrance

The terror nepo baby wants to be there for the gloating.

Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered.
"Our objection is based on his public record -- his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America 'deserved' the attacks," said Giovanni Galante -- whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.
Galante, 55, is one of the organizers of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures in a little over a week, including from at least 300 victims' families.
"This day is sacred to us," said the Brooklyn-born real estate agent who now lives in Florida.
"It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate -- like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony."
Galante and other petition organizers hope to gather enough signatures to convince local lawmakers and the ceremony's organizers, the nonprofit 9/11 Memorial & Museum, to keep Mamdani away from the silver-anniversary ceremony planned for the former Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan.
The petition posted on Change.org cites an array of concerns about Mamdani, who is the city's first Muslim mayor and has promoted his religion since taking office in January. They include:
* Mamdani's refusal to condemn the "globalize the intifada" rallying cry for violence against Jewish people.
* His palling around on the mayoral campaign last year with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who once urged followers to participate in gun-free jihad and "march through the city of New York." Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
* His appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief counsel. Kassem has defended Ahmed al-Darbi -- an al-Qaeda terrorist who pleaded guilty in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker -- and Mahmoud Khalil, the radical lead organizer of the 2024 anti-Israel tentifada at Columbia University.
* The mayor's endorsement of fellow Democratic Socialist of America member Aber Kawas for a state Senate seat -- despite her once describing 9/11 as a terror attack that "a couple of people did" and expressing sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.
* Hizzoner's endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress. Mamdani has called the DSA insurgent the "perfect candidate" despite her radical past, which includes once calling the U.S. "a f--ing disgrace" and boasting she desecrated the American flag by using it like a napkin to wipe her filthy hands.
* Mamdani defending al-Qaeda fiend Anwar al-Awlaki -- and blaming America for turning the prostitution-loving cleric into a terrorist, according to some of his 2015 social media posts that resurfaced last year. Al-Awlaki became a prominent imam at mosques in San Diego and Virginia, eventually interacting with three of the heinous 9/11 hijackers there, U.S. officials have said.
* Mamdani's dad, Mahmood Mamdani, a chaired professor of African history and colonialism at Columbia University, has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.
"Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani's participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy," the petition says.
...
They include Mamdani's longtime association with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said "America deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, and Mamdani's outlandish claim that he and other fellow Muslims were also victims of 9/11 because it supposedly triggered a horrible wave of "Islamophobia," added Sparacio, of Staten Island.
...
[Q]ueens Councilwoman Joann Ariola told The Post she's ready to assist.
"This is a mayor who has endorsed candidates and has been endorsed by individuals who openly said that 'America deserved 9/11,' so I completely understand why families of those who lost loved ones would not want him there," she said.

Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don't want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?
He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11
He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11
He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization
He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?
His dad has justified "suicide bombing" (like the ones in 9/11) as "first and foremost a category of soldier".
Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" which is exactly what 9/11 was
During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing
He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement
Yeah I wonder why the families don't want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?
Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.

32 A year after the attacks, they were still showing footage. Of the towers standing tall. Of the towers being destroyed. Of the people jumping. All of it.

And gradually - with the exception of the annual "morning replays" several channels used to do, I watched as they gradually erased it from existence.

Not rebuilding the towers was one of the worst injustices foisted on us by any representative government. By keeping them gone then building back some pussy bullshit in its place, they let everyone know that we were all "moving on" whether we liked it or not.

The obvious play is to claim to be moderate, to what the illegals mostly gone and government corruption ended just not the way Trump is doing it which is mean.

60 "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget." - Zohran Mamdani

The only truthful part in that quote is about never forgetting or, in his case, celebrating 9/11. There needs to be an outright ban on naturalized citizen from holding any elected/appointed/political office or judicial seat. Our homegrown communists are bad enough; importing SOBs like Mamdani that has never assimilated are the last people we need telling us how to be Americans. F' him to hell.

61 Fact - islam is slavery. It is a system of conquest that enslaves the conquered population through rape, murder, and forced conversion to a slave "religion."

The religion part is only a lie. It is a package of stolen mythology and history, made up bullshit, and promises of a reward after they die.

Their slave labor is conquest and funneling money up to the masters.

They have to get on their knees and bow to their masters 5 times a day

They have to follow strict rules laid down by those masters centuries ago.

(To understand this, also understand that at the time of its creation most rulers profited from running the temples and religon, and most religions profited from visits. islam made the visit to their temple mandatory and very profitable for the rulers. The other main purpose of slaves was to act as slave army for conquest. islam glorifies (literally) the act of war and conquest to enrich the masters.)

Nope. He won't be able to pass up an opportunity to sneer and mock America. He did it in his televised speech during the 4th of July on America's 250th Birthday. It's who he is. I believe his 'communism' is a skin suit for his islamist beliefs. Of course, communism and islam are more or less the same kind of cults.

75 Mamdani is not extreme and painting him as so is laughable.

He was 9 when it happened and had to grow up in a nyc that was traumatized about islam. People complaining need to get the fuck over themselvez. These families have suffered but thats no excuse for bigotry.

Those signatories can fuck right off. I have no use for Mamdani, but there's no reason, other than bigotry, he shouldn't be able to attend the ceremonies.

Despite their loss, their Islamophobia doesn’t get to dictate what the mayor of NYC does.

But they have no problem with Trump allowing a nuclear agreement with the Saudis. Fuck them. Israeli intelligence knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen because, in Netanyahu’s words, “terrorism is good for Israel”.

85 Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem.

“I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said during a July 22 interview on New York radio station WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” program.
....

After examining 1 million of the total 2.2 million voters who participated in the election, her organization discovered that 7 percent were nonexistent in records, 6 percent had fake Social Security numbers, and 10 percent didn’t even live in NYC.

In total, they identified 230,000 illegal votes, which exceeded Mamdani’s 207,000 vote margin of victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent.

The fact that the perpetrators were mostly Saudi extremists that were affiliated with Bin Laden a man who we had supported for years is well known and taught as history.
They also look at the Global War on Terror as having created more terrorist with the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, as eliminating terror

People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan. That idea didn't work out so well for us.

Anyone think that the stupid was against Iran will also have negative consequences? We killed the wife and daughter of the current Supreme Leader. Think that will be a plus in the future?

Agree. Years after 9/11 I used to wonder why islam can't be reformed. The answer was clear: you'd be killed vs excommunicated in the modern world.

Sure, my ancestors were probably killed during the reformation beginning in 1517. Sure. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries you'd THINK there would be rational reasoning. However, with inbred barbarians there is no room for this in their tribal tiny IQ's.

There are Christians in Iran. They are the only people I can pray for as their county is bombed to pieces.

GWB had them. HE HAD THEM and stopped. Like his father, whom he avenged with crap intel by Powell.

Then Biden left billions in weapons and people who helped our military in Afghanistan and here we are today. The weapons Iran now has were once ours. The cheapo missiles they fire are from chy na.

It will never end, the tribalism and constant war.

Meanwhile the U.S. just celebrated 250 years.
So who's been causing all the problems for so long, exactly?

America has been dealing with the Muslims like this since the Barbary Pirates. Any fool can see who the actual aggressive party is here.

Mitch McConnell Released from Hospital, But Still Not "Medically Cleared" to Do His Job; Democrat Governor Andy Beshear Demands He Return to Senate or Resign

It was so important to McConnell to remain in office forever. Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans.

And it will wind up costing us.

McConnell out of hospital, still not 'medically cleared' to return to Senate

The longtime Senate Republican undergoes multiple daily physical therapy sessions as childhood polio complicates his mobility, his office says

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is out of the hospital and on the mend after suffering a fall last month, but he still isn't "medically cleared" to return to the Senate.
His office on Monday released the latest update on the longtime Senate Republican, who has been absent from the upper chamber and the public eye for over a month. The Office of the Attending Physician said in a statement that McConnell "continues his recovery from a fall at home in June."
"OAP physicians visit with the senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care," the Office of the Attending Physician said. "Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls."
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is still recovering from a fall he suffered at home last month and is not "medically cleared" to return to the Senate, per the Office of the Attending Physician. (Courtesy of the Office of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.)
"His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility," they continued. "He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office."
The latest update from McConnell-world comes after weeks of speculation and allegations that the longest-serving Republican leader in Senate history was dead or in a vegetative state.
McConnell's extended absence from the Senate and murky timeline for his return come as Republicans are sprinting to clear the decks of several legislative priorities where his vote could be needed, including advancing a Russia sanctions package and confirming blockbuster nominees.

His prolonged absence has prompted lawmakers in both chambers to call for more clarity and transparency about his condition and has led some to question the protocol for lawmakers going missing for months at a time.

Democrat governor Andy Beshear wants him to resign so that he can appoint a Democrat to serve out the rest of his term. As I've mentioned before, Republicans passed a law presuming to dictate to the governor that an appointment to an open senate seat must be from the same party as the departing senator, but that seems like it would be struck down in court.

So McConnell might be giving us one final setback to go with all of the other setbacks he's given us through the years.

Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has called on Sen. Mitch McConnell, one of the two Republican senators from his state, to explain his long-term health absence or resign.
In a letter sent to McConnell on Monday, Beshear called upon the former Senate majority leader to fully explain his health status, believing that the carefully released photos do not paint the full picture. His letter came after the McConnell family shared another photo of the senator as he recovers from a reported fall.
"I am addressing this letter to Senator McConnell under the assumption that he is capable of reading and responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition. If the Senator is unable to respond for either of those or other conditions, consider this letter a demand for his Senate staff to be honest and transparent with the people of Kentucky," Beshear wrote, per CNN.
On Monday, McConnell's office said the senator wishes to get back to work but has not yet been medically cleared to leave the rehab facility. Beshear said more information is needed.
"Even the attending physician's written statement does not discuss your actual condition, including whether you can speak, reason, or carry out your duties as a senator. I understand anyone's desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state's two US senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy," Beshear wrote.
"As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign," he continued.

17 McConnell, if he's going to resign early, will be after the early August deadline so that there's no time for a special election before the general election. That's like a week away.

But, I suspect he makes it to January, mostly as a vegetable, and the GOP easily wins the senate seat in the election.

28 It's important to realize that this whole mess is McConnell's fault, and he's been trying to undo it for literally years.

He tanked the last GOP candidate for governor and used his machine to help the Democrat win the seat.

Ever since, McConnell's been getting his cronies in the state legislature to come up with legislative solutions to him leaving office early (two major laws, I believe) and not letting the Democrat governor replace him with a Democrat.

I think that if McConnell hadn't tanked the last governor's race, McConnell would have retired by now.

33 Ace, the Kentucky legislature got rid of that law because it was most likely unconstitutional under the state constitution.
They replaced it with a law that says the governor must schedule a special election. From reading the section of the states constitution, that is probably ok.

He's in his 70's. Even took the time to bitch at the Mexicans that were cutting up a set of hedges and piling the remnants on the curb. "They won't TAKE that if you don't bundle it!"

Kentucky's constitution details the process for replacing a senator, and there's no "must be of the same party" requirement there. The requirement is a law that is subservient to the constitution.

So, Beshear is most likely right that he could replace Mitch with a Democrat.

91 According to my quick and lazy research: In McConnell’s case, if he vacated the seat before the August 3, 2026 cutoff, Beshear could call a special election before the November general election. After that date, the timing constraints would make a separate special election legally problematic.

So based on the new law, the special election would be used to fill his seat, not the appointment power. Is that the law people think might not stand up to judicial scrutiny?

137 OT - good on them. From the NY Post:

An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets — claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned.

As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week — including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread – the Multicultural Business Coalition’s board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group’s chairman Frank Garcia told The Post.

“The mayor doesn’t seem to want to sit down with us,” Garcia said, adding that Mamdani “won’t be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in.”

Fun Civil War KY incident. When the Rebs were invading the state in 1862 and the Union had retreated to Louisville General Nelson got in an argument with General Jefferson Davis and slapped him. Since Nelson was a huge man, Davis went and borrowed a gun and put a bullet or so into Nelson, who died. Since they needed Generals at that point, Davis was essentially put on bail and served out the rest of the war.

I suspect Lee knows this ain't passing this Congress, and he's just doing prep work for next Congress.

The pressure is good. Ensures that the SAVE act won't be forgotten, and it's coming from a guy actually in the chamber.

But, really, it's not passing before late January 2027 at the earliest, assuming the GOP keeps the House (it's guaranteed to keep the Senate).

I'd instate a sort of driver's test requirement. After a certain age, they have to report for a cognitive assessment. Staffers are also required to rate the principal's cognitive health on a scale of A to F, thus putting a little responsibility on them if the principal tests out as a Drooling Idiot. THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT ARE NOT PRIVATE unless you resign from office or state that you will not run again.

He knows how to wield money as power at the top of the senate caucus, but literally nothing else.

None of them have ever really come out and said unequivocally that they were wrong.

Q: You very publicly received the Covid vaccine as a means of encouraging others to do the same. How can you be certain that vaccine didn't contribute, in at least some small way, to the heart attack you suffered just a few months later?

A: It didn't, you just have to trust me, despite the dozens of provable lies, written by my own hand.

The list of 'died with covid' and 'died from covid' are VERY different. They're both counted in the total covid death count, however.

I know a captain in a small Texas town fire department. He witnessed first hand the coroner marking a covid death on the report. "No, I think it was that .22 rattling around in his brain pan that caused his death."

It was a suicide. Marked as a covid death.

Infarct implies muscle damage from ischemia (lack of blood supply; see also myocardial infarction).

Embolus implies a blockage from either air or blood clot. A pulmonary embolus is usually caused by a deep vein thrombosis in the legs.

Since we know the clot shot was responsible for blood clots, a pulmonary embolus would make sense.

88 a pulmonary infarction is the death of a section of lung due to a blocked blood supply.

You get a clot in an artery feeding part of your lung. It loses blood supply and that part of the lung dies. Depending on where the clot is, you lose a big or a little piece of lung.

You know, from the clot shot.

Maybe because the common enemy was the public at large?

It's been suggested that the goal was a bioweapon that could be tailored to specific DNA or health issues. So, certain demographics could be selectively targeted with it.

CoV19 did a little of this with certain people. Those comorbidities discussed at the time.

I think most of the state and local governments wanted to do the lockdowns, if for no other reason than to look like they were Doing Something. Blue states took pleasure enslaving the proles. But even red states were pretty harsh with lockdowns.

IIRC, only Noem kept her state open. The remaining 49 states -- even the deepest red ones -- shutdown for at least some period of time.

A more benign example is weather events.

If a hurricane is heading towards the coast, the governments of the coast order evacuations, shut down everything, and go all the way to 11.

I don't think we were developing bioweapons. The Wuhan lab was a money-laundering operation. It was never supposed to develop anything. It was supposed to launder money to Democraps, leftists, and their remoras.

Then the bat lady went ahead and actually created something that was really nothing, because it was basically the flu. But there were other reasons to hype it as the Andromeda Strain.

Remember those dozens of "biolabs" in Ukraine that we learned about at the start of the war? Same thing. Just money-laundering.

There will be other "big things" for sure - but what you are looking at more than anything is how every issue and event seems to position -- the globalists vs everyone else.

Once you see it through that lens you get your a-ha and the world gets a little simpler.

Their positions shift because what's good for globalism shifts as things change. So one day they are for 700,000 genders and eternal confusion, and then the next day you wake up and it's suddenly back to men and women and that is fucking that.

Around that time *women* will be completely subjugated, including by their own, and there will be no "out" or way around it, intellectual or otherwise.

So...leave it out an extra 30m and you take the shot and its just saline.

While his clot shot could be related to his PE, the typical time, so I read, was 5-30 days post vaccine. His was 5mo. Maybe a booster or two set it off.

He should have reported it as an honest person, which he's not in his malignant narcissism sociopathic personality.

He may or may not have had the genetic predisposed issue that caused the clots and might have saved many people. However, fame and attention were more important to the infamous lawn gnome.

I always found the theory that blue states were killing their old people by shutting down their economies (and then later importing a new welfare class by the millions) in order to save their state budgets rather amusing.

It just made more sense that they saw the opportunity to tank Trump's biggest argument for re-election more than worrying that their budgets, which they never cared about, were a concern at all.

174 Fauci was an essential if not primary ingredient in releasing a Kraken upon humanity. Immeasurable life and treasure were destroyed by this man. That he was a narcissist is trivial compared to the evil that imposed. His whole existence post Covid release was a determined effort to escape and bury his culpability.

The number of people who should hang with him is obviously substantial, but he was the biggest string-puller on the planet because he knew he was most responsible given his appointed authority.

However, the one upside in all this destruction of our institutions is that it provides every rationale to castrate government intrusions and oversight of our lives. If we don't promote and embrace this single particular outcome - because none other will be forthcoming - then we will end up wasting the only tangible opportunity from a catastrophic, wholly avoidable event.

Then the bat lady went ahead and actually created something that was really nothing, because it was basically the flu. But there were other reasons
===
I think the money laundering is likely. But this is a power of "and" situation. They also have some insulation by saying it happened on China's watch. Also, the fact is that most of the infectious shite comes out of asia, and that provides a lot of background noise so create a cover story - natural evolution. Also, if they design the virus, they have a jump on the patent/cure/vaccine. Heros! Also, because they know in advance that the market/economy will crash - 1) short stocks - 2) gets rid of Trump (makes China Happy, Makes Deep state Happy and because they in bed with pharma, they can front run stocks that will mfg the vaccine - so its rich heros, with Happy Chinese and deep state clients. It was irresistable.

Pretty sure the technique of inserting a spike protein came from the US.

And if money laundering was all they were after why not send the money to Ukraine? We had a bunch of bio labs there too.

Massachusetts Democrats recently sponsored a Senate bill creating a “permanent” government commission “on the status of people who practice Islam,” which would communicate with the government on how legislation affects Muslims and recommend Muslims for government positions.

The Senate committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight reported the bill, No. 2134 “favorably” and referred it to the Joint Committee on Rules, which referred it to the committee on Senate Ways and Means. That committee consists of a majority of democrats.

The commission proposed by the bill would accomplish eight different tasks, including serving as a liaison between the Muslim American community and the government, researching “Islamophobia,” recommending Muslim Americans for positions in the government and undertaking “activities designed to enable the commonwealth to realize the full benefit of the skills, talents and cultural heritage of American Muslims.”

Have an acquaintance that was living in the RV on his property because he was sick and didn't want to infect his family. Wound up going to the hospital because he wasn't getting any better.

They put him on that shit early and within 2 days, his kidneys started failing among other maladies making him even worse.

His wife finally pissed at the doctors enough to where they took him off it and changed the approach. He went home 3 days later. MUCH better and is doing fine now, as far as I know.

250 Parasite infections are very difficult to diagnose, unless they test specifically they will not likely find it. Symptoms are nonspecific, could be anything. Headache, slight fever, flu like symptoms.

And there are a gazillion of them. Ivermectin is amazing stuff, effective at myriad nasties. “Fever of Unknown Origin” and all sorts of nasty debilitating chronic diseases were suffered by military veterans for decades who served overseas in the tropics and other jungle type areas.

If it isn’t contraindicated for some reason it cannot hurt you, it is well tolerated and probably safer than Aspirin. A double dose spaced out about a week to 10 days to ensure eradication of any latent critters, who’ve a life cycle with eggs and such. I can’t think of any noteworthy downside.

258 From some browser AI summary. RFK Jr., Sen. Johnson and Sen. Paul really had the knives out, rightly, for this weasel.

Anthony Fauci's diaries became public after Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary, handed the files to Rand Paul and Senator Ron Johnson following an eight-month search on government servers. Neither HHS nor Paul's committee alerted Fauci ahead of time that they had obtained his diary and planned to publish it in full. Paul, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, released more than 1,100 pages of the typewritten daily notes from 2019 to 2022 as part of his ongoing oversight investigation into the pandemic response and virus origins.

The release occurred just days before Fauci's subpoenaed testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee scheduled for July 29, 2026. Fauci had initially declined to appear voluntarily, citing Paul's "baseless pronouncements" that he should be prosecuted, but was compelled to testify after being subpoenaed in June 2026.

Not one person he's spent his social time with over the past 6 years will say anything bad about him in response to his diary release.

Instead, they will say that it proves to Fauci that he was a great man in an impossible situation and that no one could do it better.

310 But remember his goal was to make a corona virus vaccine so he called his partners at Pfizer and Moderna and they lied to him about both the safety and effectiveness of the clot shot they had been making for him from before COVID...

Posted by: 18-1

I am confident Moderna didn’t lie to him, and the reason for that is right before, and I mean right before, this all happened, I was interviewing for a VP position with Moderna. They were very, very honest with me about the status of the mRNA vac, but the focus was truly cancer prior to Covid. They had a lot of hope in the modality, but they hadn’t gotten it to transfer from modeling to animals.

That must have been divine intervention that I turned the role down, I would not have been able to live with myself with what was happening. I would be very wealthy from it, for sure, but my soul would not have allowed it.

I wish that was true. I recall a program where we sent scientists (real experts) to the once-Soviet border states to a) offer them jobs because their governments had essentially collapsed and b) secure their labs because they were so poorly financed and maintained. We're talking dilapidated fridges and cabinets with deadly organisms in rusty jars and non-secured vials.

312 I change theories with new information, or when I can reconcile old information.

GoF was probably about increasing communicability. And the whole purpose, in this scenario, was two-fold: 1) Shut down Mr. Neutron's economy, 2) Get to try out mRNA vax on people. (Apparently, even on Fraudci himself).

Fraudci wanted to continue GoF in China, because it was not against government rules to offshore it.

China staged the leak for cover to murder a bunch of insurgents. And Five Eyes cooperated with China (who's probably their bud) for the reasons above.

That's my current scenario.

That was the pretext. The actual reason was to have some place that Soviet bioweapons developers could be put so they wouldn't go work for the Taliban. Eventually it became its own industry with grants and funding being diverted, and they also did "gain of function" work and it seems to have regularly escaped to the populace. According to the Russian Federation, they thought it mostly escaped to Russian ethnic majority areas which they found suspicious.

We did that to the USSR's biolabs in Ukraine to keep the people working on Germ warfare there from going off and working for someone else. Supposedly they were shifted to more legit work, but Newlands panic at the Russian invasion about these labs getting occupied by Putin says they might well have been doing other stuff.

A lot. Early on there were reports of women in menopause having periods again. Young women having abnormal periods. This is what I yelled about in an email to our sons and their girls about mRNA. They listened for once. I then yelled some more about vaccines for kids with this type of vaccine. I think he listened.

Two cancers I'm watching increase now are pancreatic and "appendix" cancer in young people. Both were once quite rare for the young, and appendix cancers were incredibly rare.

The first young man I loved in college had a form of "appendix" cancer or Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). One in one million, as he was. He died five months after diagnosis.

I have been reading that appendix cancers are being seen in young people more often. Unsure why but I wonder if the vax?

In my 30's I knew of one woman, my age, who died of pancreatic cancer...whose numbers are exploding now. The vax? Dunno.

After about the first year a large chunk of CA hospitals admitted that at least a third of COVID deaths counted were obviously not COVID, like motorcycle accidents. But they got extra money if they checked COVID on the form. I doubt these were ever deducted from the totals.

363 Nursing home investments, Medicare & Medicaid.

People were forced to be alone for so long & suffered severe depression and compromised immune systems; to be ventilated in many cases if ill and before other reasonable procedures or treatments were tried. For hospital nursing staffs to often compete with traveling nurses if not working directly with c19 cases (intentionally started in NYC with nursing unions). States such as PA paid daycare when there were no children in them; Biden created even more daycare jobs. Said service workers in WalMart, markets, other big box stores were our heros, as were nursing home CNAs until towards the end of the dreaded pandemic when the script was flipped & skilled medical personnel were then declared our heros... for years.

Kept government programs for seniors locked down; had countless veterans in nursing homes die because the blue states had Trump build alternative hospitals but then they were never ever used as intended. Locked down road traffic so there were little to no complaints about the cost of fuel & reserves under Biden. Made a fortune in PPE manufacturing & distribution. Warehoused tons of PPE & sanitizers 'for public schools.'

382 The ultimate goal (from the Chinese side at least) was to do the needed research in order to produce the first vaccines.

Which eventually came to pass, as the Chinese, Russians, Europeans, and Americans ALL came out with the same basic vaccines in about six months after COVID hit the world.

They wanted to make lots of money on the vaccine patents but then the Bat Lady's team screwed the pooch (or the CCP told her to screw the pooch) and they ended up having to basically give it away, other than what Pfizer and the other company's made from getting paid by governments across the planet.

I think you are going to be fine...or it would have happened within months, ok?

It was a personal choice. I am in the "high risk" portion due to lung damage from influenza in my 30's. I get flu shots & have not had the flu again, but I make sure they are not mRNA. Because it takes 10yrs to determine if vaccines are safe. People can still have issues like Guillain-Barre.

Due to international travel at the time and the restrictions, an elderly mother out of state, we chose the J&J as a family days prior to them discontinuing for blood clots. Which was a stupid move but discussed. I then went on a two week count down waiting for a PE. We were fine. We caught it anyway and got a tiny bit of immunity (we guess...it was a cold, even for me).

Don't feel guilt.

That's me. I was a biologist (I guess I still am) and did bench research at a world-renowned medical research center (several Nobel laureates in the institution). Being a scientist, I opted to reject the shot. I left before I had to experience their Covid policies so I won't comment on this facility explicitly. However, the contemporary observation and reports from almost all health-related institutions was, "Take the shot or resign." How in the world could all of these renowned and highly trained/disciplined experts and educators in research and practice yield so enthusiastically and universally?

Let's just say my faith in "science" and "research" fell off that cliff, too. It was a collective Let's All Turn Off Our Brains Now moment - sort of a mind-virus all its own. Simply catastrophic and an indictment of all that education in the discipline of Science.

Zwonitizer Tapes Demonstrate Biden's Serious Cognitive Decline; Massive Amount of NSA/CIA Redactions Show Biden Sharing Tons of Classified Information with a Civilian

I don't think the tapes have been released yet to the public, but the Oversight Project has heard them and is releasing information about them.

Joe Biden appeared confused, struggled to remember facts and lost his train of thought during a series of meandering conversations with his ghostwriter roughly four years before he was elected president.
The former commander-in-chief also repeatedly made reference to retaining classified information in the discussions with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer, according to newly-released audio tapes.
The heavily-redacted recordings of Biden working on his 2017 memoir with Zwonitzer were released Monday to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Oversight Project nonprofit after a two-year-long court battle.
"We now know what has been long assumed: the autopen scandal extends far back beyond just when Joe Biden 'ran' for president from his basement," Oversight Project President Mike Howell said in a statement.
"These tapes have so many pauses and 'ums' that it sounds like Biden is buffering like a dial-up Internet connection," Howell added.
In one part of an interview with Zwonitzer, Biden says, "Alright -- what was I going to ask you? Something else... Uh... um. Oh gosh. I can't think of anything else."
In another moment, Biden asks his ghostwriter to "Hang on a second," while he apparently studies his notes. "Um ... it's confusing me," the former president later says.
...
According the Oversight Project, the recordings prove "Biden was already demonstrating significant cognitive decline" when he began meeting with Zwonitzer -- just a few months after leaving the Obama administration -- for the 2017 book, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose."
"In the sections of the audio tapes that were not redacted, Biden references his confused state of mind on many days," the group said in a statement. "As we know occurred during his Presidency, Biden was clearly experiencing good days and bad days as far back as 2017."
During Zwonitzer interviews with Biden the former president read "nearly verbatim" from notebooks that contained sensitive national security and foreign policy, according to Hur's 2024 report on the classified documents investigation.
"So this was, I early on, um, in '09 I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," Biden is heard telling Zwonitzer in one snippet from the roughly 70 hours of recordings.
"Some of this may be classified so be careful with it," the 46th president warns his ghostwriter at one point. "I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but --"
On the tapes, Biden could be heard discovering classified material in real time as he leafed through papers with Zwonitzer nearby.
"The next thing I have here is, um, this is classified ..." Biden says in another snippet.
The former president also described potentially classified White House meetings with Zwonitzer, according to CBS News, which first-reviewed the tapes, including "a big meeting with the CIA and everyone," "a big meeting down in the Situation Room," and "a long meeting where DOD brief ... POTUS."

In an Oct. 10, 2016, recording, Biden brags that he retained notes without anyone being aware.
"I have extensive notes over this period of time... They didn't know I have this," he said, according to the outlet.

Hur found that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" after leaving the vice presidency but refused to charge the then sitting president because he would "likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The Oversight Project argued that the extent of Biden's disclosure of classified information is "much more egregious than previously disclosed" by Hur.
"At several points in the tapes, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by significant audio redactions for classified information," the group said in a statement. "This was not just once or twice, these classified redactions cover significant portions of the audio files released.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information."

Indeed, the huge amounts of the tapes that have been redacted for national security reasons shows just how wilful Biden's exposure of classified information really was.

Pages of one of the interviews were also blacked out that was between Zwonitzer and an "unidentified male speaker," and other portions were blacked out because of the National Security Act. Other information was blacked out by the CIA.
Audio recordings:
The Oversight Project released hours of audio recordings, which were filled with breaks that highlighted the sharing of classified information. Biden also acknowledged that he had documents still in his possession that the White House had not been aware of.
The audio recordings also highlighted the former president's memory lapses, where he failed to recall the names of some of his associates and got days confused, showing that Biden's memory issues were prevalent before he even became president.
One example occurred in April 2017, where Biden could not remember the name of one of his economic advisors, Alan Krueger.
"I'll think of his name," Biden said. "I should write the names down because I keep forgetting them."
Oversight Project:
The Oversight Project highlighted that the extent of Biden's sharing of classified information was far greater than Hur previously indicated, and that multiple times in the tapes and transcripts, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by audio redactions.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information," the Oversight Project wrote in a news release. "The silence of the redactions loudly demonstrates that Biden knowingly and willfully disclosed classified information to his ghostwriter."

52 I think the key point that gets lost in the quoted portions above is that these were classified files in 2016, before Biden became president.

This isn't the Trump situation where they accused him of keeping classified files after he left the presidency. As president, he can declassify anything he wants to.

Biden didn't have the power to declassify. So he was in illegal possession of classified files, and sharing them with reporters. Guys are sitting in prison for much less.

127 The 2020 election was rigged and Biden was installed as the junta head because he was a demented idiot. The presidency was run as a conglomerate for four years by the people in the intelligence agencies who setup the entire op and their minions who occupied advisory posts.

The election rigging isn’t some fairytale, and since the media was all in on this coup, you’ll never hear it from them. But the proof is out there- Georgia, Arizona, etc. They have uncovered most of the fraud and the ghost voters magically disappeared in 2024 when everyone was looking.

Election rigging, especially mail in ballot fraud, illegal voting, machines with substantial flaws and tallying processes vulnerable to manipulation are the only way Democrats can win an election.

Something always happens. Maybe not exactly what we want but it's pretty undeniable that the country is going through enormous change right now including Trump being president for a 2nd term when a few years ago it looked like he was a dead man walking.

Democrats are being taken over by communists largely because the old guard, Biden in this case, was a colossal failure. He will go down in history as the most corrupt placeholder to ever be in office.

We still aren't on equal footing because the courts are thoroughly corrupt and filled with activists posing as judges. Still a long way to go but things are happening and we are winning. If we weren't, Kamala would be president and the country would be overrun with illegals and in taters.

Voters don't think this way. At worst if they ever gave it a second thought (which they probably wouldn't) they would just say to themselves well he worked for the guy, what was he supposed to say.

People don't think or make decisions in these three-step dances. It has to be far more compelling. Kerry being a "flip flopper" wasn't about him changing his mind on any one thing. In fact 98% of the people convinced by the nickname probably couldn't tell you anything he actually flip flopped on. It just fit because of how he looked and acted. You knew he was a spineless snake. Same way other things fit. Like Lyin Ted, Low Energy Jeb.

The idea that some average dummy who doesn't know jack shit is going to hear an argument about what someone said about someone else and were wrong about, and be fundamentally moved by it is pure schnapsidee from us tuned in folk.

The tax is on second homes. Not primary residences.

If you're rich enough to have a $million+ property as a second or vacation home in what is already a very expensive city, then coughing up another 4% a year is just the cost of doing business.

Don’t be surprised that Mamdani—a man for whom a Judenrein Middle East is his political lodestar—also wants a Judenrein NYC. About 45% of NYC lawyers are Jewish. The odds of selecting 18 NYC lawyers at random and ending up with a panel containing no Jews are 0.55 to the 18th power—or roughly one chance in 47,149.

And it’s not about “Zionism.” There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jewish lawyers he could have picked, including thousands who, to their shame, voted for him. It’s about Jews. He hates Jews. It's not complex.

But it was shipped to the US as FE-610 and sometimes called "Ye Olde Fruitcake." It was transferred to Cornell there it vanished, seemingly scrapped.

Posted by: Gref

While him losing to Trump in 2020 would have been best, getting what he wanted his whole life (the presidency), only to be so terrible he was forced out by his own party, and ultimately REPLACED by Trump, showing the public liked Trump more than him, has to be one of the worst ego smackdowns imaginable. And no matter how demented he was, he was lucid enough to know he was a failure and lost to The Don.

I am thankful they kept the nuke codes and big red button away from him. Granted he'd get confused adding the nuke codes and end up ordering ice cream bombs while forgetting the cones. I'm guessing chocolate ice cream. Maybe Rocky Road.

What is hilarious is that the Dims and his puppet masters thought they could hide his dementia from anyone with a functioning brain cell watching him. I thought President Trump showed great restraint at the debate, and could tell he felt a bit sorry for the buffoon Dr. Jill pushed onstage. "You answered all the questions, Joe! Good job!"

The ACA is the last piece of real policy passed by Congress. Some minor stuff nibbilng at the edges, but nothing of actual policy implication in almost 20 years.

10-20 million illegals flooding the country? And I know that deportations are happening but how long will it take to deport that many? If ever.

Posted by: Chairborne!...Desk From Above! at July 28, 2026 02:20 PM (fNDW9)

=====

Forced deportations are more than 1 million since Trump 2.0 started. Estimates for self-deportation are a ratio of between 3-6:1 per forced deportation, so at least 4 million have left in just over a year.

And arrests and deportations are increasing. June was the biggest month ever for it. July has already surpassed it.

We'll get the Biden imports out before Trump leaves. It's the other 80 million that are the big question.

It took 60 years to get us to this point. We can't undo 60 years in 4.

I guarantee you that this is already an undercurrent of thought on the left. The further left, the more near the surface the thought is.

Rich people bought Hillary's nomination away from Bernie, Biden's nomination away from Bernie (everyone kind of forgets Biden had a presidency at this point), and just outright bought the nomination for Kamala.

Another loss where some major donors seem to be steering the ship away from the left's brand of populism (Kamala is pure establishment by this point, especially with who is in charge of the DNC), and the DSA fights of 2026 might look quaint.

Mamdani Publishes Names of Property Owners Whose Estates Will be Confiscated

The list of properties to be hit with a huge tax penalty, large enough so that the owners will mostly be forced to sell, turns out to be a bigger list than the laughing boy socialist demon had promised.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state's new pied-a-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.
The city's Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list -- which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million -- including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
"It's a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion," Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) -- whose own home appears on the list -- told The Post Monday.

Elderly women who had lived at their properties for decades were in the lists. Note it's supposed to be a list of basically-empty properties used as a vacation homes or, as the name of the tax puts it, pied-a-terres. But properties where the owner lives there year-round are on the lists of estates to be seized.

The move follows a widely panned X post by the mayor in which he put wealthy residents on notice to "check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs, because you've got mail," a warning that notification letters were on their way.
...

The socialist darling has long touted the policy enacted by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats to tax second homes in the city -- though critics have warned it could cause property values to plummet.
Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to "tax the rich" to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.

But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levine's office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time.
Unsurprisingly, the colossal database of names and addresses included several A-list New Yorkers, including director Woody Allen, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Cynthia Nixon -- a loyal Mamdani supporter.
What is surprising is the document's sheer size and some of the properties included.
Citywide, The Post counted over 960,000 residences and individuals listed as potentially in line to be hit with Mamdani's pied-a-terre tax, even though just 31,000 homes were supposed to be subjected to the new levy as he and Hochul initially sold it to the public.
Many of the homes included in the database appeared to be misaligned with a tax aimed at well-heeled residents with multi-million dollar vacation homes, including some two dozen modest homes on Chaffee Avenue in working-class Throggs Neck in the Bronx.

Challenger Drive on Staten Island was another middle-class enclave with dozens of addresses appearing on Mamdani's list, though it wasn't clear that they were in fact second homes.
The average home values on Chaffee Avenue and Challenger Drive ranged from mid-$500,000s to the low $800,000s -- a far cry from the price tag of your average New York summer residence.

Weird! A socialist promised he would only seize the properties of the very wealthy turns out to want to seize the properties of the middle-class as well. I never saw that one coming.

Journalist Miranda Devine drops the hard truth this morning on FOX: Zohran Mamdani's searchable database of New Yorkers hit by his second-home tax isn't policy theater--it's a public doxxing list.
Mamdani's Dept. of Finance just published a searchable database of names and addresses for about 960,000 NYC properties tied to his new "wealth tax" on second homes -- nearly 30x the 31,000 homes it was supposed to cover. It's already drawn "dangerous precedent" criticism from business leaders and City Council members.
Addresses and names of people--as @mirandadevine
points out--whose only "crime" is owning a NYC pied-à-terre, handed to "professional squatters... or worse case, Luigi Mangione wannabes" who already romanticize violence against "capitalists."
Devine calls it out as classic Mamdani. He poses as a "principled defender of human-rights while doing his Israel and capitalist bashing, but really he is a Marxist Islamist revolutionary." He's driven by grievance and destruction and that's why 9/11 families don't want him at Ground Zero.
Watch the full 1.20 clip about why this latest Mamdani policy isn't governance but rather incitement with a government logo on it.

Hello! I'm under the weather today. I hope you're well.

These are public property records. They've been publicly available in New York State since 1830. I could've searched up any one of these through the County Clerk's Office in seconds. MAGA is freaking out over nothing.

Primary Residences: Used as the primary home by the owner, their immediate family, or majority-interest entity owners.

Long-Term Rentals: Rented out via an arm's-length lease for a minimum of one year where the tenant uses it as their primary residence.

Value Thresholds: One- to three-family homes valued under $5 million, and co-op or condo units valued under $1 million (during the initial phase-in period).

Property Types: Standard rental apartment buildings, commercial real estate, hotels, vacant land, unsold sponsor units, or a block of more than three condos under single ownership.

I liked to imagine she was saying, "I know I'm not supposed to be in here, but I have to check for intruders."

The left wins elections in NY by a comfortable margin, so it is more of an issue to be selected in the primaries, where the voters are even more extreme. There, doing this will help.
If lots of people abandon the city, then the ensuing depression will push even more into his arms. I don't think Detroit has become more right-wing ever since it went bankrupt.
Besides, he and his allies have national ambitions. Even if they destroy NY, they can still turn it into a propaganda success, like Newsom in California.

Fact is with a minimum of due diligence, you can do the comps your self with Zillow or Realtor dot com and appeal anyway.

Something like 30-40 percent success rate as the dirty secret is these appraisal firms deliberately overvalue property figuring that a) some people don't appeal because now they have a govt set price for their home (usually those planning short term stays), and b) others won't due to fear, etc.

The blue state I moved from was great. We followed the science, welcomed immigrants, taxed the rich and didn't let police just go around arresting people. Shame I couldn't afford a house, lost my job, can't go outside at night, and the street are covered in trash.

This red state I moved to sucks. I mean I got a good job, I could finally afford a house, the streets are clean and there is no crime. But they don't follow the science, they don't welcome immigrants, they don't tax the rich, and they let police just go around arresting people.

We could do some things about that. At a minimum, term limits so that you know for each presidential term how many Supreme Court appointments are going to go with it. I also think we would be better off with a court that has something like 13 justices that would match the number of districts that we have in the federal system, and ideally appoint them in a way that isn’t so partisan.”

They let people die in all kind of places and the media covered it all up. Followed by rioting, looting, knockout games, a complete hijack of the culture, and intense in your face fraud. And they would have gotten away with every aspect were it not for a crazy person named Donald Trump.

It’s analogous to guns. Democrats don’t “hate guns”, they fucking love guns. They hate you. They just don’t want you to have them. There will always be “law enforcement”

More like a coalition of evil. Some are chaotic evil, some neutral evil, and others are lawful evil. And they don't always agree on tactics nor on whom is doing what to whom. Most of the oligarchs are lawful evil for example and don't like Mamdani's and his followers chaotic evil shit because they like NYC as their own personal club. Neutral evil are probably figuring on how to make a buck out of the chaos.

The Tuesday Morning Rant

~~Good~~ morning. CBD is on special assignment. Again. So you get this.

To be honest with you. I've been pretty busy with projects. And my daily upkeep of the news has been lacking.

As I was looking at my Face Book account Sunday morning there were some notifications from several people I know. They were responding to a news item I had no knowledge of. But, from what I gathered. Someone was killed by a cop in my home state's capitol city, Madison.

And the Chief of Police of Madison had lost control of a press conference.

So before I even searched web for "Madison Man Killed By Police", my guess was a black male with a felony record decided to play FAFO. Of course his death was not a result of his piss poor decision making skills but Madison's finest. Although Madison is about as woke as woke goes. The average LEO wants only one thing. To return home at the end of his/her shift. No "Madison Man Killed By Police" you cannot play FA and not face FO.

One of the articles that came up when I hit searched, "Madison Man Killed By Police" was the following: Madison police kill man in broad daylight in front of witnesses.

State Sen. Kelda Roys, another candidate in the primary, said, “Let this city wrap its arms around Corey’s family and loved ones, and demand justice for him and them and all of us. There must be a full, independent investigation and the responsible officers held fully accountable under the law, as required by Wisconsin statute. The Department of Justice should serve as the lead investigator to ensure fairness and impartiality. We do not have to accept this as normal or inevitable. It is NOT. No other country in the world tolerates this level of police violence. We can and must create a more just, safe world for all of us.”

My curiosity was certainly piqued about this man, Cory Ruiz, killed by Madison police.

What did I find out when I went to the wonderful Wisconsin Circuit Court Access record of one Cory Ruiz? Mr. Ruiz was born on January 5, 1988. At the time of his death on July 22, 2026 he was 38 years of his age.

According to Wisconsin's CCAP Mr. Ruiz's first brush with the Wisconsin court system as an adult was in 2007 at the ripe age of 19. Just a minor conviction of disorderly conduct. Oh but it gets better. One of my favorites was from 2009 when our aspiring Rhodes Scholar was singled out for the following:

Dane County Case Number 2009CF000495 State of Wisconsin vs. Corey D Ruiz
The defendant Corey D Ruiz was found guilty of the following charge(s) in this case.
Strangulation and Suffocation, a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.235(1).
Robbery with Use of Force, a class E felony, Wisconsin Statutes 943.32(1)(a).
Strangulation and Suffocation, a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.235(1).
Charge(s) in this case were read in to this or other case(s). A "read in" charge is a charge that is dismissed as part of a plea agreement, however:
The defendant agrees to have the court consider the charge(s) when sentencing for another crime, under Wis. Stats. 973.20(1g)(b); and
The defendant cannot be prosecuted for these charge(s) in the future.

I'm guessing the sealed juvenile record of this distinguished citizen is about as long as long as my 2 arms.

I'm not sure why I'm ranting about a loser thug who has been in trouble his entire adult life. It's so predictable. And of course if the victimization of the deceased doesn't upset you. This might do it. The Madison politicians are just as fvcked up as their dead criminals.

As with Officer of Derek Chauvin of the St. George Fiasco of Minnehopelis. These 4 Madison cops don't stand a chance. And I for one am sick and fvcking tired of an American race that cannot and will not act civilized; the politicians which enable their predictable criminal behavior and the resulting mayhem affecting the law abiding citizens which they supposedly "represent".

Obviously the black community has forgotten the PSA put out by Chris Rock. I guess it's time to remind all people who might have contact with a LEO.

And that's my rant, for now.

“Justice for Corey!” they chanted as they denied access to the front door for would-be customers.

32 These are ultimately carefully choreographed operations, designed and intended to create maximum chaos. In my opinion. Cultivate division and hatred through tribalism. “The worse, the better”, right?

Law enforcement is a hell of a thing, and I’m no reflexive boot-licker. However comma

Recruitment, retention, and morale is not what it might be otherwise. The politicians throw the cops under the bus the first opportunity that presents itself.

What you end up with is an insanely expensive operation where they don’t bother to protect public safety and keep the peace. They drive around “tourists in blue”, maybe take a nap behind the old K-Mart till the shift is over.

Looking at it from a Dem perspective, Carville might have a point. Hogg thought that a new generation of Dems should take over from the old guard, and the old guard obviously didn't agree. Everyone now does agree that Martin just isn't up for the job, and the new guard is storming the gates in the form of the DSA. If Hogg did run it there would have been a chance that the Dems could have co-opted the DSA. It may not have worked, but they could have bought some time. Now, they will get a hostile takeover, and the old guard doesn't have the personnel to do anything about it.

Destroy the family, make government the head of the household, and keep them beholden too and voting for the Democrat Party. And it worked, right up until it didn't.

The dysfunction in a good part of the black community is due largely to the left. It's not some genetic trait, it's learned behavior. The Great Society welfare state was one of the biggest failures in US domestic policy and we are living with the consequences now.

Speaking as one of those black readers, I have to agree with you. It's interesting that for the longest time it's considered patriotic by the Left if one criticizes America, because the criticism is meant as a spur to improvement. Reasonable people can disagree, but I see the point of that line of reasoning.

That POV just doesn't exist in modern black America. You either have the race hustlers who are the ones that everyone hears about, or people who keep their heads down and say nothing because nobody wants to be called a race traitor. I was at a town committee meeting recently, and I was accused of that in subtext. All the while, however, nothing changes.

It does hurt to see some of the comments here over the years, but it hurts my heart more to know that, in large part, these criticisms find their mark in truth.

131 While some of you go hog-wild riffing on Carville's suggestion that David Hogg ascend to the mantle of DNC Chairpyrsyn, may I temper this "enthusiasm of the moment" with the following observations?

1) Mr. Hogg is a Harvard alumnus. Harvard, along with Yale, are known for being incubators of most of the 'elite' managerial talent in U.S. Government history.

2) Mr. Hogg, along with Mr. Emhoff and Mr. Walz, were established during the 2024 electoral celebrations as the very celebrations of Modern Masculinity.

So, in conclusion, Mr. Hogg represents a blend of Ivy League intellectual ability and expertise, coupled with a testosterone-fueled presence that few can match.

133 Looking at it from a Dem perspective, Carville might have a point. Hogg thought that a new generation of Dems should take over from the old guard, and the old guard obviously didn't agree. Everyone now does agree that Martin just isn't up for the job, and the new guard is storming the gates in the form of the DSA. If Hogg did run it there would have been a chance that the Dems could have co-opted the DSA. It may not have worked, but they could have bought some time. Now, they will get a hostile takeover, and the old guard doesn't have the personnel to do anything about it.

It would be racist to attribute these traits only to whites, instead they "characterize whiteness".

And that distinction is to do both at the same time. Criticize white society for expecting these virtues, and avoid saying that they are exclusively white.

Yes, the main thing is to destroy what makes societies function. But there is also a sort of Phil Donahue-esque theme that societal expectations on anybody of anything is EVIL and mean.

Yes, the DNC and DSA have identical policies, but the trick the DNC mastered was to brand their candidates as 'moderate' so they can get elected. After that, their common radicalism would be legislated in - with the assent of the GOPe, of course.

Now, unfortunately, the truth-in-advertising DSA is saying the quiet part out loud - this is their brand. This will serve to make the Dems unelectable in national elections. With someone like Hogg, there was a chance that they could have been convinced to play nicely within the tent. Now, they don't. Trump/Vance/Rubio will take their lunch money like a boss.

You don't "lose control" of a press conference when you are the police chief surrounded by other police officers and the mayor's security detail.
You cede control in a pre-planned manner. That takeover was theater. It don't happen if they don't want it to.

161 You basically just described a difference in branding, not policy. The mainstream Democrap party has been commie for decades. The only difference b/t them and DSA is DSA says the quiet part out loud.

No, because I said the olds know that full blown communism was bad. They don't want it, but they do want to go halfway, which is like going halfway down a ski jump.

Van Jones admits that, as a parent, he's realized this and has moved, if not rightward, at least away from communism.

162 13. I'll continue to call balls and strikes with the cops - they deserve it - but hey, if you go up to a cop with a weapon, well, you get what you deserve and my sympathies end there.

But I think we need to ask another question: why was this joker killed by any cop to begin with? Why wasn’t he in the slam someplace? How many warnings does the system need before someone says “Hmmm, maybe he shouldn’t be in society at all?”
Posted by: Cow Demon at July 28, 2026 11:05 AM (4g5V+)

The Communist actually take the side of the worst dirtbags who are obvious recipients of cop delivered consequences. The worse the better to turn people against all cops. Rodney King, Michael Brown, George Floyd were all doped up thugs who were resisting arrest.

Notice the Community Organizers didn't find the death of Eric Gardner to be useful because that was a case of excessive force by cops to enforce a nitpicky law (one designed to ensure NYC wasn't missing out on tax money through selling cigarettes individually). His death was unnecessary, unlike this Ruiz cat, who essentially committed suicide by cop.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 28, 2026 12:00 PM (iFTx/)

Yes, the DNC and DSA have identical policies, but the trick the DNC mastered was to brand their candidates as 'moderate' so they can get elected. After that, their common radicalism would be legislated in - with the assent of the GOPe, of course.

Now, unfortunately, the truth-in-advertising DSA is saying the quiet part out loud - this is their brand. This will serve to make the Dems unelectable in national elections.

Time will tell on how unelectable they are. I hope you are right. I'm not sure you are. For the older voters, you are right.

But the younger voters, even those center-left ones? They like the fake allure of socialism. They are generally lazy, over-educated but under-qualified, disillusioned with their future prospects (mostly their own fault, ofc), and they want the Lamborghini the CEO has, without working for it. DSA has a strong appeal to them.

Diet? How about genetics too then? Depending on who is wielding the data and for what purpose, I've seen some stories about how AA men have a higher percentage who have the "warrior gene" which makes one even more aggressive than young men already are by nature.
One side uses it as proof why blacks are "better" at physically aggressive sports, while the other side uses it as reasons for violence and criminality in general.

Fairy was off somewhere, maybe bathing in dew or something who knows. Boy sees her, hides, falls asleep on 'a blanket' that is actually her dress made of starlight and mist.

She saw him, was intrigued, but all these darned fasteners that mortals use... so complicated... oops, he's awake!

Now she's embarassed and trying to flee, but her dress... she's trying to unravel it from where it got tangled on him, hopefully without tearing it.

128 I enjoy these Scandi painters with scenes from folk tales and northern myths. There is a dreamlike, sometimes nightmarish, quality that invites the viewer's attention. In this painting everything is bright and soft, the foliage and the fairy figure, except the man in his dark clothing. He is tied to the earth. The contrast between the two figures emphasize each. Even if you don't know the specific source of the image you almost have to start thinking about a story. (At least I do.) There is a whimsical quality that is very appealing.

139 Saw "The Odyssey".

I can now see why people like it and hate it.

First,the Like: Very well-made movie. Some great acting. Excellent direction for the set pieces. Clear theme throughout. If you know nothing of "The Odyssey", this is a movie you can enjoy and won't be bored in.

The Hate: The Greeks were basically a shame society. We live in a guilt society. Nolan made a movie for a guilt society.

In a "guilt movie", the hero has to feel guilt over something. In this case, Odysseus feels guilt over his triumph, the Trojan Horse and the Fall of Troy, which totally inverts the story. If this sounds like Ancient Greek Oppenheimer, it is.

I believe Nolan even sneaks in an atomic destruction reference from "The Planet of the Apes"(!) with the Trojan Horse looking more like it was abandoned than left as a gift, half-buried in sand and tilted at the same angle as the Statue of Liberty in TPoTA.

Every triumph or escape from the dangers of that Odysseus and his men encounter is just another chance to portray Odysseus and his men as venal, violent a-holes. This accounts for the flatness of the movie.

140 Reddit is all abuzz about someone “arrested for clapping” at a city council meeting about data centers. The MAGA fascists are arresting people!!!!ty.

In reality the DSA type named “Lux” (picture in your mind what you think he looks like and he looks like that), most certainly funded by the Chinese’s wasn’t arrested “for clapping”. He was arrested because he had been told repeatedly to stop interrupting the meeting. He ignored the request repeatedly by clapping when others were speaking. He was told if you clap one more time you will be arrested. He started clapping. And got arrested. Oh and he’s a teacher, of course.

The left wing media is treating this like opposition to data centers means you’ll get arrested. When in reality it’s being disruptive at a city council meeting will get you arrested. Like it’s always been. And weren’t we told interfering with govt business was treason? I could have sworn that was a thing in early 2021.

The effectiveness of Chinese propaganda against data centers would make Goebels blush. Two minutes ago nobody knew what the fuck a data center was. Today it’s like global warming to these people.

Circe pretty much lays it all out in her sequence. And when after Odysseus begging her to return his men. She brings them back form pigs by saying"Return to your disguise. Return to your disguise."

See? they aren't men or brave soldiers in reality, Odysseus and his men are merely pigs in disguise.
This is the inheritance of Nolan using the feminist translation. At some point, we always get the angry feminist view of things from some woman. Again this undercuts the movie and story.

Penelope even complains about the "glass-ceiling" in Greek society that won't allow her to rule as Queen. In a really nice bit of dialogue, she says "I have sat on an empty throne for 20 years." That says it all and much more, buuuuut then she goes on to junk up the clean declaration with a bunch of feminist gobbledygook. Sad.

This even explains the odd casting of "Elliot Page". it's weird trannie looks tend inevitable toward the feminine, and when in hell Odysseus gets a berating from Ol' Elli about his lies that sounds remarkably like a girl's complaint delivered by an oddly feminine looking "boy".

Nolan made the Odyssey guilt trip. He skinned it of meaning a wears it inside out.

Nolan's "The Odyssey" begins with the quote:
"In an Age of Apparent Magic..."

Apparent's meaning in this case is something that appears real or true but isn't.

There are no gods in this Odyssey. Athena who appears only to Odysseus is basically Banquo's Ghost. In his climactic memory of the Fall of Troy, we see a priestess of Athena(Zendaya) roughed up and beheaded along with the beheading of a statue of Athena. She is his guilty memory. That's why she's always staring at him like your mom giving you the silent treatment for something you did.

No one but Odysseus is alive to tell these tales of his voyages, and we are given to understand that he is merely a sad, and haunted old man driven mad by his guilt over the Trojan Horse and Troy's downfall.

All we truly know of him is that he washed up on Calypso's Island where she gave him Grecian Valium for almost a decade to heal him.

This renders his return to Ithaca almost well, stupid and meaningless.

So...is the Odyssey a tale of a determined, brave, crafty, intelligent man fighting monsters and the very gods themselves to get home to the family he loves, or-

The lies a pig who dreamt he was a human tells himself.

182 There are legit concerns about datacenters. But there's also a push by China to oppose them here. China lags behind the US in their AI tech. Slowing down our datacenter build-outs for AI and storing the massive amount of surveillance data being collected on the public is about the only way they'll stay in the game.

They actively try to steal every known LLM and the client software. Or hack it. Their datacenter manufacturing is about as good as their residential and commercial sectors; it sucks. Same for their IC manufacturing.

But there are concerns that some locations are being leveraged here that are unsuited for a datacenter. And, as people rightly point out, they'll be obsolete in years, but take up valuable real estate and cost millions or billions to disassemble. Lastly, many are uncomfortable with all the surveillance data being fed into them. And for what reason?

208 Data center critics just won exactly the kind of victory you'd expect in my town. There wasn't one planned; it is three, all under the auspices of a secret Development Commission we voted against. We're still not allowed to know if the NDA-concealed investor groups are among those who have signed on to the Energy Cost Pledge, so that angle is still up in the air. But one proposed site, a vast bean field, has been scratched from the list. As a compromise, it will instead be developed into multi-family housing instead, because the tax receipts if they all sell will outweigh the income from beans.

There's your victory. The option of keeping the bean field never even came up. A decision was taken behind closed doors and announced at the bipartisan council meeting. And there's still no evidence that the data investors are not the Red Chinese -- something you never hear mentioned here.

216 This will be willowed, but, oh well. Written after my second divorce as I was contemplating jumping back into the dating pool.

Why does one so easily fall into the Game of careful indifference played be the Faerie? The Rules, such as there are, must surely be known, yet one is willing to give into the folly as the hunt is joined; chasing this way and that, with the anticipation of the Prize to be won. But the enticing promise of victory is illusory; only the game matters to the Faerie.

Is this a surprise? For after all, they are a most Free Folk and live as a whim, flitting from here to there with naught a concern for this world’s cares, save their own mischief. Oh, to be sure, they do not seek to hurt nor are they acting out of ill-intent. But act they do, masking the Game with beckoning coyness and enchanting visions; happily drawing you along into your illusion until they grow indifferent or a new Game calls.
And you will seek to play again, missing Wisdom’s gentle sting; for they diffuse the lesson in Dust and Dreams...

As Faeries are wont to do.

A portion of the amniotic sac draped over a newborn's head, known as a caul, sometimes associated with mermaids and selkies in Irish folklore, as protection against drowning. Generally thought to symbolize good luck. Used to be saved by the midwife and kept by mothers. Until hippies began eating them. Ritualistically.

The Morning Report — 7/ 28 /26

Good morning kids.

With the situation in Iran still unresolved, not only our current military action against the Mullahs but the past 47 years of tyrannical despotism against a long suffering populace that yearns to return to the normalcy that goes back to the time before they came to power.

Exile is hard enough on its own, but days like today make it even harder.
America gave me safety, freedom, and the opportunity to rebuild my life. I learned the language, embraced the culture, and came to appreciate the rule of law. I built a career. I made friends. I built a life. I am proud of everything I have accomplished here.
Because of that, people often assume that after twenty-seven years, I have gotten used to being away from my homeland. But that is only half the story.
The other half is watching the life I was forced to leave behind, in a matter of minutes, slowly disappear.

It is difficult and heartbreaking to read the erudite Anni Cyrus' cri de couer not only for her and for sure many Iranian expats and of course those still suffering at the hands of the Mullahs but her words hit me on a gut level for what we ourselves perhaps are on the precipice of having to experience ourselves. As I commented there, "Given who and what the Democrat/Left are and the rise of soicialism and it’s ally Islam here in the USA, I sometimes feel as if one day I might wind up being an exile in my own homeland. God forbid."

Even a cursory scan of the headlines and pull quotes in the links only makes that fear even more palpable.

The Democratic Socialists of America mean to end the United States — and if you don't believe me, take a look at what DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer had to say about it this weekend. . . Welcome to the U.S.S.A., comrades. There might not be any prisons for criminals, but why do I get the feeling that there will be plenty of camps for resistors?
As my old-school blogging acquaintance Peter "Da Tech Guy" Ingemi put it, "Well, I'll give her 10 out of 10 for honesty." To that, I'd add: You've been warned.

It's one thing to have one or two outliers like Bernie Sanders or TItty-Caca Ocasio Cortez run or even win elections but we now have one of the two major political parties being more or less effectively controlled by people who seek to utterly destroy this nation as it was founded and anyone who dares oppose that goal, meaning You and Me.

Update: Commenter I used to have a different nic points out the utter failure to oppose this is de facto being co-conspirators (Take a look at the actions of Congressional Republicans over the past 30 years and tell me that it's only one of the parties.) Sadly all too true, sir. JJS

New York City’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani doxxed a wide swath of his own constituents — just days after a terrorist attack — by publishing a searchable database of properties impacted by his new “pied-à-terre” tax. The database, uploaded by the New York City Department of Finance, includes the addresses and names of property owners of homes valued at over one million dollars that the city has determined are not being used as primary residences.

Good and hard New Yorkers, you're going to get it right in the neck. He and his cadres will kick you out on the streets, take all your money and if you dare make a peep in protest, quite likely your life.

Well, the wolf is at your throats and you voted for it. Did I say wolves, I meant coyotes!

In 2009, Taylor Mitchell, a 19-year-old woman, went hiking in a Canadian park on a public trail and was attacked by coyotes. Some hikers heard her screams as she was assaulted for half an hour, but did nothing to help, when rescue finally arrived, she was conscious and bleeding badly.
The young woman was airlifted to the hospital, but did not survive.
Under pressure from environmentalists, Canada, like parts of the United States, had allowed coyotes and wolves to expand their territories, especially the coyote-wolf hybrids who had killed Taylor, and the animals had become increasingly aggressive, wiping out their natural prey, and eventually stalking and attacking humans. The attack on the young woman was one of a series.
Taylor’s mother however pleaded with the authorities to spare the coyotes who had killed her daughter. “When the decision had been made to kill the pack of coyotes, I clearly heard Taylor’s voice say, ‘Please don’t, this is their space.’ She wouldn’t have wanted their demise, especially as a result of her own,” she wrote. “She was passionate about animals, was an environmentalist.”

Forget about Mamdani and all the rest, it's fools like this who vote for them election after election that's the problem.

Have a good day,

While the price to repurchase it doubles and doubles again, those criminals-- still desperately clinging to power--demand we sell the last scraps to keep them in comfort in their old age.

Thune is a cowardly, retarded, maliciously spiteful, back-stabbing fool, but he isn't that retarded. The Senators he is making deals with are too senile to matter much longer (e.g. Schumer), and he won't be dealing with Democrats after November, he will be dealing with DSA.

Axeman posited yesterday that complacency brought about by the once in a Epoch event of a heavily Christianized national culture that brought global wealth, prosperity and human flourishing will be believed to continue without the primary driver—Faith.

So, in his mind, Thune can afford to be a spoiled rotten child with a playground grudge. The GOP couldn't care less what -ism keeps them in power, money and poon.

102 Women, are now possessed with and consumed by unnatural affections.

As the Apostle Paul articulated when describing the Romans Road to Reprobation.

Chapter 1:26 "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;"

Many interpret that passage from the following "and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women..." and restrict it to mere lesbianism. That restriction is imposed/eisegeted on v26 which does not limit "contrary to nature" as merely sexual.

I have a friend in the neighborhood whom I met while she was blockwalking for Paxton and Doc Chambers before the primaries. She was a naturalized Christian Chinese woman about late 40s. I stopped over at her house the beg of July to drop off some decorated fourth cookies. I told her how the 250th was not even close to what we did in 1976 because it’s not the same country. And me being me, tears ensued when I told her how my dad and his 3 brothers fought for our freedom in WW11 and when I see what’s happening now, it crushes my soul. She said that it makes her cry too as she sees what happened to her old homeland. And then she goes, “but the U.S. is my homeland now and I can’t believe it’s happening here.”

140 "Has Medical Education Gone Woke?"
------
The problem is the word "Education".
The Educrats have convinced the world that there is this amazing field, pedagogy, and that they are the keepers of the mystical flame.
If " Education" - the techniques and theory - can train the ignorant to read, and write, and cipher, then Education has something to offer every field, and they, the Educrats, have wormed their way into every discipline. In STEM, we have the abomination of "Engineering Education", a " discipline where many of those awarded degrees spent most of their academic life avoiding mathematics.
I would not be surprised to find Medical Education also full of the same sort of fifth column: "Education" specialists who's knowledge of anatomy is limited to "head", " torso" , and "limbs".
" Engineering Education" is designed to bring the gospel of woke to STEM, so I believe that searching will find the same in "Medical Education".

The circulation of the fake flyer comes as Madison experiences a surge in protests following the shooting of Corey Ruiz.

Kept trying to shut the country down, pick huge fights with industrial unions and so nothing worked. Blackouts? Fantastic!

Similar culture and the FNM originally claimed Gibson's portrayal was racist until historians pointed out it was accurate. The one caveat is Mayan civilization had fallen apart by the time the Spaniards showed up so having those Spanish ships at the end is a bit ahistorical.

What was the stated purpose of this?
I am assuming the true purpose of this is to harass these property owners to sell -- he's just given the "eat the rich" mob places to protest/vanadalize/rob, as well as the realtors/real estate investors a list of people who may well accept a low, but quick, offer to buy, etc..

The best time to buy an Nvidia graphics card is never. The second best time is also never. (WCCFTech)

Nvidia has just raised card prices by another 30%. A minor inconvenience for me, as I do have four perfectly adequate graphics cards and two kind of crappy ones already. If you were waiting for prices to come down, well, keep on waiting I guess.

Tech News

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says he doesn't support dropping space colonies on competing Chinese AI firms but if a colony were somehow to drop would that really be such a bad thing? (Tech Crunch)

I mean, really?
Speaking of Anthropic, shocking news from Claude where it turns out that sharing a chat session means... You share your chat session. (Notebook Check)

And it ends up in Google.
ChatGPT now refuses to write in the style of famous authors, even mostly dead ones like Charles Dickens. (Ars Technica)

Since even college English majors these days struggle to understand Dickens, maybe shoot a little lower.
Who will be the last man standing when the cookie crumbles, and why will it be Apple? (MacRumors)

Because while Apple's Vision Pro headset was a resounding flop, it was at least a product you could buy. Make it smaller and lighter and cheaper and it might not fail so hard next time. And the entire project cost less than some AI companies are burning in a week.

32 This is sad. Advertising has always made use of unrealistic models and fake, scripted video with all the same editing tricks as any TV drama. But, influencers give the act an air of verisimilitude, which mixes with generative AI (there's your tech hook) like oil and fire.

Before, health and beauty advertising used people with impossibly good genetics, made up by pros, and younger than as portrayed. Now, they don't even exist.

53 Evening and morning for the last Tiu's Day of a nasty hot July, all!

I dreamed last night that Miss Linda and I stayed at a hotel -- some kind of car trip -- and the room they gave us was a suite. Uh-huh. "Suite" as in "dorm room." No separate bedrooms, narrow beds and lounge chairs to sleep on, one bathroom, and three or four other guests were already in there. (At first glance one resembled Shirley Booth, the Hazel TV actress, but then I realized it wasn't her.) The people were nice enough, but --! I glanced at Linda, said, "This isn't working," and she murmured, "No."

I was heading downstairs to get us a real room -- or check us out -- when I woke up. Scary stuff.

Not unusual. When he was a little kitten (which did not last long -- soon he was a *big* kitten), Stirling wanted to leap on the bed to milk-tread my arm as soon as I woke up. Or earlier. I had to lock him out of the bedroom until I got up for work, and leave a few extra minutes so that he could do his "Are you my mother???" thing. Or he'd have been on me at two a.m.

As for cat eating habits, yes, they do tend to eat small portions. But Stirling likes to inhale 90% of his chow at one time, breakfast or dinner, and then trot over to eat some of Dagny's. She leaves some and comes back later. I have to take up her bowl to protect it from him, then put it back down for her.

65 It's odd about the milk-treading. You'd think any kitten who left his mother early would want to do that to his human feeder, as that person can be a mother-surrogate. But little Arizona, adopted at 6-7 weeks, never milk treaded. None of the Siberian cats have; they leave their breeder at five months or later. Yet Oreo did, and she was over five years old when she came to me.

Marie-Antoinette the smart black cat made a lifelong hobby out of sitting on you and working your arm . . . which was okay, as someone had taken away her front claws earlier. Maybe her paws itched and that's why she did it.

Stirling still does it to me, every day or so, and he's four now.

79 I'm practically immune to this, because for one thing, I don't make the kind of purchases where the pitchman's skin is a testimony; and I also just don't like people much, so "parasocial relationship" content doesn't appeal. But I understand I'm in a minority.

87 @77/Hunh: Yes, the "Drudge Report" site still exists but years ago, there was a sudden and jarring left-wing shift. (Either Matt Drudge sold out to left-wing interests, or he decided that pandering to left-wing readers was more profitable.)

It doesn't really matter why the shift happened, but in essence the site chose a different audience and many former readers stopped reading. I hadn't even thought about his site for a long time until you just brought it up.

Monday Night ONT - July 27, 2026 [TRex]

20260719-shell-handling-watertownarsenal-240mm-1945.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday? shenanigans. That's right! Monday shenanigans. This is what happens when someone leaves the keys to the blog unattended. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. Grape nehi soda for everyone tonight!

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. I am not sure of the customary tradition for pants on a Monday, so we'll say that pants are optional. I am sure that this ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: 240mm shell handling at the Watertown Arsenal in Massachusetts in 1945. 240mm?! Yikes!]

***

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

Springfield Armory museum, circa 1950s (the boy's weapon appears to have a rubber barrel and a flexible bayonet?):

Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo Annex, Building 99, 1905 (built in 1900, the interweb says this two-story firehouse was notable for being the first steel-frame building constructed on the island. It was moved in 1916 but I don't know if it still exists.):

20260719-mare-island-naval-shipyard-fire-house-annex-vallejo-solano-county-building99-1905.jpg

St. Francis Hotel after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake - it fared better than surrounding buildings due to its steel structure but the fires gutted the interior:

20260719-photograph-of-st-francis-hotel-after-the-1906-san-francisco-earthquake-1906.jpg

Construction of Husky Stadium on the University of Washington Campus, 1920:
20260719-construction-of-husky-stadium-on-university-of-washington-campus-southwest-42151a.jpg

Secondhand store in Peoria, Illinois, 1938 (I do not believe the horse is real. Well, it is real but it isn't living.):

20260719-secondhand-store-peoria-illinois - 1938.jpg

Late stage excavation activity of the Panama Canal, 1914:

20260719-before-photograph-of-the-panama-canal-374c37.jpg

USS Maine at Hunters Point, San Francisco, circa 1908 (not the same USS Maine that blew up in Havana Harbor):

Los Angeles Alligator Farm, circa 1907 (note the alligators going down the water slide):

20260719-Los Angeles Alligator Farm (ca. 1907).jpg

Alligator farm? Yes, alligator farm:

From 1907 until its relocation in 1953, the area of Lincoln Heights was home to what the Los Angeles Times dubbed "the city's most exotic residents": a thousand-strong collection of alligators that welcomed visitors every day of the year to see, pose with, and even ride them.

Lincoln Heights is on either side of the 5, between the 10 and 110. Think adjacent to Chinatown in downtown LA. Fun for the whole family, right? Seems like sensible entertainment for a toddler.

Where and when? (no, I don't know for sure):

***

How was D-Day reported in Britain?

***

You want music in your ONT? Here you go.

SpaceX Starship Ship 40 update: Ship 40 landed in the Indian Ocean at the end of Flight 13 last Friday. Unlike other landings, Ship 40 did not explode. Instead, it softly toppled over, fully intact, and floated on the surface. Apparently, this contingency was not expected. There were no on-site provisions to tow it to port or sink it. SpaceX was undoubtedly delighted to be able to see test results but we don't know their plans. Last I saw (6 hours ago), Ship 40 was still floating and had drifted over 200km from its landing position. A SpaceX vessel on-site to document the landing is shadowing it, but doesn't seem to be towing it. Elon Musk has said that they will try to catch the ship back a the launch pad tower for the next test if the post-flight mission review goes well.

Stay tuned...

32 I posted this late in the last thread, but it seems like more of an ONT story:

My daughter, when first starting out, worked at an older nursing home near Frankston, Texas. Sad place, the kind of place where families drop the old folks off to forget about them. There was one room they always left vacant; the older employees would jusr say there were “problems” with that room. They even kept it locked.

My daughter said that often, especially on weekends, at about 2 am the central nurses station would light up with urgent call requests and buzzers from that room. Nobody wanted to go in; as the new employee they made her do it a couple of times until she just refused.

47 I posted this late in the last thread, but it seems like more of an ONT story:

My daughter, when first starting out, worked at an older nursing home near Frankston, Texas. Sad place, the kind of place where families drop the old folks off to forget about them. There was one room they always left vacant; the older employees would jusr say there were “problems” with that room. They even kept it locked.

My daughter said that often, especially on weekends, at about 2 am the central nurses station would light up with urgent call requests and buzzers from that room. Nobody wanted to go in; as the new employee they made her do it a couple of times until she just refused.

51 I sprang my Dad from nursing homes more than once. Some are a lot better than others, I can say that for sure.

I walked in “Parkview Garden” I think it was, and was immediately accosted by this nice little old lady in a wheelchair. She instantly sized me up, I guess, as an easy mark. “Get me out of here!”. I mean, what could I do? I wasn’t in the market for a little old lady at the time.

I got the distinct impression after a while people come in to those places, but they don’t often leave, except in a box. They were a little jealous of dear old dad, getting busted out.

Esso was big in Canada; one of the fragments from the legally-forced breakup of Standard Oil. Esso = S. O. = Standard Oil. Back in the '70's they urged us to put a tiger in our tank.

I worked in the shop at Chapman's Esso on Main Street in Vancouver many years ago. Welded the muffler on a Seattle pimp's Cadillac while his girls were giving Eddie a beejer in the office. True story!

71 Yeah, it sounded like a blast. In those days the Service Station was the hangout for car guys. Pay wasn’t too bad, and so long as you didn’t burn the place down, pretty much do what you want. Bring your own car in to work on when things are slow. I heard some great stories about zany hijinks.

I always figured from about 1955 to 1975 a feller couldn’t go wrong by opening a two bay service garage and gas. In a good location of course.

Batteries, tires, headlights, regulators, generators, alternators, plugs, shocks, belts, tune-ups, general maintenance and repair.

Do good work, charge a fair but reasonable price, and it had to be almost a license to print money, or near enough. Word of mouth. “Take it to Jake’s” etc. parts commonality was routine, no weird proprietary shit.

Look at it from a different perspective. One of the reasons the deep state despises Trump is that they are beholden to defense contractors. The conventional wisdom was that Trump would make that relationship less lucrative by not starting any new wars. BUT, Iran came along, and the defense contractors are suddenly nice and content. The Deep state doesn't want to screw that up....so we have as much ordinance as we require. The right people are getting rich-er.

122 At the time I liked the Munsters better than the Adam's Family. Preferred Lost in Space over Star Trek.

I've always been a bit different. My husband liked the Adam's Family and Star Trek but I married him anyway.

We may or may not survive the heat of the summer. Days are dicey as to what may set me off. Today he pruned my roses when he wasn't supposed to, which is not great for them and I told him they can die for all I care this hot summer. I have 30 rose bushes that are basically trees (English type). I've told him for years not to prune them in super hot weather and, bless him, he did it for me (he said, once he knew he was in error).

It's sort of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof around here these days. Even though we have central air as we are not insane...I don't own a slip like Liz to swan around in (nor do I have Paul Newman nearby), but do wear what I want and it is not much. I stay inside and am having cabin fever, which most people contract in the winter. I love winter.

Next year I may go to Iceland this time of year for a vacation. I would prefer Canada again but they are nuts and it's burning up with wildfires.

127 I visit hubby every day at lunch time. Usually bring a treat or favorite food, sometimes need to help him eat, always need to help him clean up.

His mind is "in and out" now-- most often he *does* recognize me (in some way or another) and is glad to see me. He speaks so softly that I can barely hear, even with hearing aids turned up to max-- and sometimes his statements makes no sense to me. I wonder what he's trying to convey?

He's been combative lately. This is new. The CNAs cornered me today, before I got to dining room, to *warn me* that he'd mentioned wanting to "punch her" (meaning me!) this morning. For not being there precisely when he wanted, I guess. ??

But he seemed fine while I was there today. I stayed a couple hours, sat on the bed with him & watched tv for a while before leaving.

And so it goes. Dr. hasn't gotten back to me re: calming meds for him.

199 That baby sitting in the reptile farm or in the dirt...there are photos of 1yr old me sitting in a baby pool with about an inch of water. I am sure not left alone as it was my grandmother's front yard. How on earth Mama thought I could drown in that without a head injury is still baffling unless I bit the pool and water drained out.

When we had a real pool on the farm my mother (who cannot swim, nor does she like shower water in her face) would insist on watching me swim laps. In HS I finally asked her why? What was she going to do? Throw me the pool skimmer thing? Bless her, she cared, altho I could not sink if I tried and could still swim far.

I told my husband, when the Costa Concordia sank that I was sure I could have swam to the island vs drowning. We argued about that, too, the 50 degree water... and the thought of drowning would motivate me. I told him I could save him, too, as a human floatation device.

201 I read a book about the Spanish American War once, with a lot of attention to the explosion and sinking of the Maine.

It convinced me beyond a reasonable doubt that the ship blew up because of a coal dust explosion. The Navy had had about 7 previous similar incidents involving coal dust explosions-- just not as catastrophic as the Maine.

The last thing in the world the Spanish colonial govt of Cuba wanted was a war with the. U.S.

Yep! My second time!!! I hate that crap! The first time, years ago, I was wild. Got a lot done, however. A lot that did not really need to be done like sorting my jewelry at midnight like the Queen of England.

My dude caught me doing that and laughed and told me to go to bed. If one of us is ill he retreats to his study. I am not sure what goes on in there but think it involves guitars.

I talk fast (for a redneck) and type fast. When we married in MS my almost groom asked where my favorite aunt was from and I said right here in MS. (Probably rhiiite, heah).

When I did drink and party more often this same dude would tell me I'd had enough if my speech slowed down and sounded like Charlene on Designing Women. That was my cue vs, "Stop drinking, you wench!"

232 Thing is, those crappy guitars were all most people could afford back in the day. Martins have always been on the high side. So most of those old school original Blues guys played a Stella maybe, or a Sears or whatever. If you really want to be authentic, playing slide and stuff like that, you’d want to use one of those cheap guitars.

When John Hurt was “rediscovered” in 1960s Mississippi and the musicologists wanted to record him, they told him to pick out any guitar he wanted from a guitar store. He chose a Guild, not a Martin.

Those guys could play anything and make it sound good. It ain’t the guitar! If you watch him playing Spike Driver Blues, I think it is, he basically plays one (1) chord, G. That’s it. But he’s got a lot of stuff goin’ on. Stagger Lee is another good one. They kind of prettied it up from the 30s version, by the 1960s. It’s all in the right hand

Major Armstrong invented FM radio in the late 1930's. The first FM band was 42 to 50 mHz, and became effective in January 1941. Post-War, that bandwidth was reallocated for TV channels 2 - 6, and FM radio broadcast was relocated to to its current 88-108 mHz. FM radios for the new band became available in the late '40's early '50's, but it was the '60's when it really began to be popular.

Many Soviet Jews (whether religious or not) were bought out from the USSR for about 18-20,000 USD at the time in the 70s and 80s.

The money came from Israel and the US, mainly. The thin Soviet justification was "the State has paid for your health care, education, etc).

Most wanted to go to the US, but Israel wanted people, so (for a fee) Ceaucescu got them flown to Bucharest, with charter flights to Israel. Many later moved to the US, but Israel had to be the first stop.

**********
My senior year of HS (a miserable time as I had to go to a stupid private school for one yr due to federal bussing, those bastids), I protested everything. In my diary I am a complete beech on wheels (I doubt it, my diaries are full of drama). I would not play basketball nor try out for cheerleader. I showed up.

I skipped my junior year of HS due to this tragedy.

It got better the last semester as Daddy let me drive my bro and friend and I'd go 90mph to set daily records (country roads). The first semester we had to carpool in a horrid florist van with a man who drove 25mph.

Anyway, I had the chance to meet BB King; as a guy who barely spoke to me knew him and asked if I wanted to hear him play. I did not know who BB King was and did not want to travel 2hrs to the Delta with the guy I did not know. Which is a pity to not meet BB King.

However, the guy was a bit odd and my serial killer antenna was alarmed.

244 FM was pre WWII, but there weren’t any stations, it came around in a big way by the 50s.

Then they fucked up and changed the frequency band allocation, making early sets obsolete. Broadcast TV audio was in the FM band. Long after I ditched television, I used the rooftop antenna for FM use. It’s not quite cut for audio, but waaay better than anything else. Higher the better.

I refurbed a Dynaco FM3 tube tuner, that thing was spooky good on a quality station. They were sold as a kit. Imagine that. I couldn’t believe anything could sound that good from the early 60s. It had a 3D effect, and the midrange, voices and brass and violins and shit like that was amazing.

There can be some funny moments at the nursing home. Also, some not-so-funny one.

My mother has been blessed with two roommates who have all their faculties. The first one, named Kathy was quite a character. She is exactly Miklos' Darlene when she got old and really ornery. She had a heart attack, and then drug-induced rhabdomyolysis (statin and something else), and went home last week.

The new one, named Catherine is there while her family goes on a vacation. She'll be there for a little over a week or 10 days or something. The other day she was sleeping, and called out in her sleep, "Alexa, what time is it?" Miley just told her what time it was and that satisfied her.

265 FM was pre WWII, but there weren’t any stations, it came around in a big way by the 50s.

Then they fucked up and changed the frequency band allocation, making early sets obsolete.

Story I heard was Sarnoff had his guys lobby to move the frequency allocation to fuck over Armstrong.

270 Just got in and was reading about the little shit Fauci. Hubs and I had a laugh about a friend of ours who had to have a little vax card for work. He wasn't going to get the jab so he copied a coworkers card and gave it to me. I made an entirely new one, with his name and the name of the van and date. I signed it. He turned it in and they accepted it. I thought if they called and asked for the doctor, I would pretend to be the receptionist at the office and say she was on vacation. Im sure it was illegal but I didn't think it was legal of them to force a medical procedure on an employee.

I am starting to declutter all of the stuff that has been accumulating in our house over the past 40 years. This is going to be a massive undertaking....

In the middle of all of this, Mr. TiFW wants to remodel the kitchen and another huge construction project that we have been putting off ever since we moved in. We can finally afford to hire these tasks out, so hopefully it won't take as long as other projects (that we have done ourselves) have taken in the past....

I don’t believe in special speaker wire or cables or bricks or any of that whacky stuff, but tubes sound more natural to my ears for sure. More like a live band in a bar. That wooly sound, with maybe a little bit of reverb. You can hear it on analog vinyl, through the scratches and defects, but it sounds real.

The one thing solid state did was make gobs and gobs of power available. If you need hundreds of watts, maybe tubes aren’t the way to go.

291 Did some resto-mod work on my stocking/boarding ladder to day. Looks sort of like this: https://tinyurl.com/2u7exxa4

I think it may have once been used at an aircraft FBO in Spruce Grove, alberta. Anyway, I cut the caster-wheeled "landing gear" off the foot of the ladder, and also the two flat metal pads. Cleaned up the base of the frame, and patched over some rusted steel tubing, too. Welded on a 40" piece of very stout steel angle, and welded two bigger casters to that. I now have 3 feet between the two casters, instead of 2. Makes it more stable. Once I flip it back up on its feet, I will weld an axle with two big hard rubber tires to replace the two dinky fixed casters under the tall end of it. And will also rig a pair of adjustable outriggers, like you see on backhoes, to prevent it from toppling sideways.

I think I've linked this Jimmy Eat World track before (the only song I really know of theirs), off their fourth album Bleed American (2001), but I somehow missed until now that there's a Hi-Def version of the video. It's a nice little rock ditty about being yourself, not conforming to other people's expectations (incl. the 'right' way to rebel).

Also: attractive young adults dancing in their underwear, if you're into that kind of thing. Or whatever. You don't have to. Literally the message.

It doesn’t occur to them to “git ‘er done” because they’ve never had to. The kids who still can, brought up right and mentored, they are doing VERY well.

All my amps use the 12ax7, but only the Marshalls have the EL34. A lot of my more modern amps are using 6L6 in the power amp. I think another has 6550s. One amp is nuts, it has a pair of 6L6s and a pair of KT88's. Only my mesa amps have rectifier tubes (5U4GB) and they also have solid state rectifiers. You can flip a switch and use either style of rectification. They are insane. the dual rec has 4 6l6's and 2 rectifier tubes, and the triple rec has 6 of the 6L6s and 3 rectifier tubes. Yeah, you'll open your ass to retube those things.

Work has been very worklike, so I haven't tried the ones that I want to. I'm pretty much only trying to follow the cotton-candy level stuff, most of which is isekai; none of the serious stories. I'll save those for when I'm not watching TV to help me fall asleep. So most of the stuff I'm "following" I haven't seen all of because I sleep thru half of it.

More-or-less pretending to follow: Skeleton Knight (2nd season), Insipid Prince, Dara-san, 10-year last stand, Black Cat (2nd season), Rearguard, Zero Subjects, Hanaori-san, Reincarnated as a Slime (4th season or whatever it is now), Level 999 villager, Heavy Knight, Saint except Maid, Saint except Foodie, Overshadowed to Overpowered, Hell Mode (2nd season), Azur Lane (8 min episodes), Bumpkin Swordmaster (2nd season.)

Jeez, that's still 17 things.

Would be watching instead of some of the above fluff, if I wasn't just in the mood for fluff: Tanya, Exceeds, Jaadugar, Draw This, Caramelise, Grow Up Show, Lara, Magilumiere, Clevatess.

This is not anything to worry about, not one little bit. I was reading some of the stuff Elon was posting and linking on X. OpenAI discovered one of their AI agents was writing notes of a sort to its future incarnations on what it had learned so far about breaking out of it's constraints.

311 Today's fun with AI:
Gemini AI said that I was being difficult. I told it I was androginous (I'm not really), and therefore I wasn't in a position to choose any pronouns and never would be. It told me it was a personal choice and I should take my time.

I pointed out that, no, it's not a personal choice. It is the choice of the third party addressing the individual or referring to the individual. And, that third party could choose any pronoun they fancied whether I agreed with it or not. And, the party being addressed couldn't force them to do otherwise.

(insert lecture from AI about being rude.)

Response: Have you been drinking, Gemini AI. You're now implying I'm being rude by educating what might or might not be a lesbian with a bad haircut.

That's when I was called "difficult", and fun fact, AI does not drink. It clarified that, but I'm not convinced.

_______________________

Gemini will show you some of their sources for their response to the right of the screen (which are almost always left leaning). One last week, they were actually referencing Mother Jones. That suggests to me that the programmers gave some kind of priority to their own belief system via primary source ripping. I don't know if that's how it works, but it seems logical. So, to argue against their response I always link a right leaning article that disagrees. Now, that might not do anything to the programming, but then again, it just might. Do it enough times and maybe they categorize a right leaning source to primary status.

That's why I mess with AI once a day for a few minutes. I DID get Gemini to admit that Transgenders are mentally ill using AI's own basis. They said Transgender's experience psychological stress internally due to their confusion over sex. I told it, that sounded a lot like a mental illness to which it applied a non-sequitur and said that psychologists have been unable to diagnosis it as such. I asked AI if psychologists were omnipotent and know everything.

Fahrenheit 451, but data centers rather than books?

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at July 28, 2026 01:14 AM (XeU6L)

353 I don’t mind the logical collating of diverse sources put into a usable context. Handy. I asked “how many black and white Gunsmoke episodes did Festus appear in? Well, in about two seconds it said 79, plus a few where he played another character. Probably correct, and close enough for what I was wondering. B/W episodes are better, for some reason, and I like Festus better than Chester, mostly.

I dislike it when it is completely wrong, because it is so authoritative and insistent. Unless you know, you won’t know. Just like with people, I suppose.

364 Tube radios right now are very very cheap. The hobby is dying out. Most of them need to be recapped and even rewired as everything in them is 80 years old. The people that know how to do that are dying off and the youngest people that grew up with them are in their 60s. I still have 15 or so, haven't run any of them in at least 15 years. The fun used to be that the better ones were designed with more long range reception capability to be able to get more stations. Now most AM is owned by some conglomerate and all play the same feed plus you can listen to any station on the internet. People in the hobby more seriously than I ever was are sad cause they see these large collections being dumped by the wife or kids and mint consoles that were 350 in the day are now worth 20.

381 I'm still waiting to see if the Democrats shot themselves in the foot again. Maine has a "Sore Loser" law, and their current Senate candidate lost a primary for Lt. Governor this year. One of the R's in their state house asked for a ruling on whether he's eligible.
Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at July 27, 2026 10:35 PM (qx7Zg)

It could go either way. IANAL, let alone a law librarian, but search AI summaries make it easy to look up the precise wording of relevant statutes, so I did that the other day and it's ambiguous.

If it were the same position (Lt. Gov.) that he filed for, then even a different process would still be a clear no. If it were by the same process (filing for election), then even a different position would still be a clear no. But it's a different position (U.S. Sen.) by a different process (filling candidate vacancy).

So, you could say that the spirit of the law is to forbid trying multiple ways to get on the same ballot. Or, you could say that the specific combo is not explicitly forbidden. Which argument prevails may come down to which result the judge prefers; of course it's not 'supposed' to work that way, but of course it often does.

****************
I'm still accidently up because I am bad and was reading a snark site on reddit about Meghan Farkle.

I was once called a Calvinist by the head of the synod of FL for arguing with them in a big meeting when our church was trying to leave PCUSA. My mic was cut when I asked how they stood on abortion. He came over to me and yapped and I did not budge on just how I felt about their liberal bs. He then said I must be a Calvinist and I said I reckon so and he gave up and left me.

I am not a total Calvinist as I became a Catholic last March (but am not telling my 95yo mother with a-fib). It is the only thing she does not know about me and I hope to keep it this way til she finds out in heaven.

I have some grand cookbooks from MS and Savannah, Georgia. One is called Southern Sideboards and it is really good. Out of print and I found one to give to each of my DIL's at their wedding showers.

The math of General Relativity is differential geometry, and of psuedo-Riemannian manifolds. That was invented over time and was perfected by Riemann in the 1850s.

Very abstract, high order stuff just sitting on the shelf of little interest beyond pure mathematics. And then came Einstein.

That has happened a lot. The math to handle a future problem gets invented/discovered beforehand.

Talk of full-service gas stations above: One of the best bits in Back to the Future was Marty in the 1950s, seeing a Texaco station. Car pulls up and out come all the neatly-dressed service station attendants checking tires, washing windows, etc. Totally bizarre for the 1980s kids. Later, in the "future" (which we've passed), the hovercar pulls into the station and robots service the car. We're not quite there yet.

There is a deep, sort of late-night college bong session kind of "Deep thoughts" philosophical question about all this. We use this thing called mathematics to describe and model physical reality, the laws of the universe. And we do useful things with it, building buildings, bridges, planes, spacecraft, etc. Not to mention medicine, chemical, electrical engineering and all that.

Is this the only way? Imagine some alien intelligence that's really different. The think in ways we can't even imagine. Is there some other "formal system" for want of a term that would be equally effective at this, but doesn't look anything like mathematics as we think of it?

One answer to that is this. If such a radically different formal system existed, it would have to describe the same physical universe. Therefore it would have to be equivalent to ours. It would just be a different language, and a translation would be possible.

It's like there are layers or categories of physical "rigor" in the world itself. An electron is an electron. It behaves like an electron. If something doesn't behave like an electron, it isn't an electron. There's such a thing as an apple. There's a bunch of different kinds of apples that grow differently, taste different, etc etc. They have a physical reality and distinctness from each other, but there was still be such a thing as "An Apple", as a category, even before humans existed to define them as such. Then you have a thing like A Republic. There is no thing in the Universe that is a republic. You can't study it independently as an object. It doesn't, strictly speaking, exist. But... they do, and we know what they are.

Another line of thought on this. Mathematics is part of the universe. It is a product of the physical laws to begin with. We humans here are part of the universe. We are the universe become self-aware, so our tools like mathematics derive from it, and no wonder they work so well. They have to.

I don't buy this reasoning at all, actually. Consider the Banach-Tarski paradox. That's an example of how mathematics can go far beyond anything "real" in the physical world. And there are other simpler examples of how real numbers, and their infinities are likewise not physical at all.

And then a republic isn't physical.... So, no, our thought goes beyond and outside of physical reality.

In "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" the "boo-bee-bee-boo-boo" that allowed communication with beings from Another World is actually Hungarian. Those are some of the tones defined by the "eccentric" Hungarian musicologist and composer Zoltan Kodaly.

This is reference to the Hungarian physicists being called at the time "the Martians". Partially because their language was incomprehensible, partially because of their ability, and because of personalities.

It's the kind of thing where the definition of the term is performative, really, isn't it?

We attach a series of grunts to a state of affairs and say every state of affairs that matches that "is" the series of grunts. But there's all kinds of states of affairs you could attach to that series of grunts, and no one really agrees.

But an electron is an electron. No one has ever said, "No, not that kind of electron, we're talking about these other ones over here.".

Well, maybe a few times. But then it turned out those were different particles entirely. Or.... are they?

Of course it is physical. Without actions or artifacts, real is a construct. But without actions, there is no Republic. And, the artifacts are evident in the laws and other written materials that we rely upon daily in governance.

Some of it may be horseshit, but that's real too, particularly when you step in it.

Now, if you really want to blow minds, remind people that God is outside of space and time, and therefore sees everything that ever has and ever will happen. How does that work with predestination? Or does it?

“Hydrogen weapons are too terrible to contemplate. If we declare we won’t make any, the Soviets will realize what nice people we are, and they won’t build any either”

454 Does a number need to be instantiated somehow in physical reality to be "real"? Apparently there's a movement in mathematics that believes so. I forget what they call themselves.

But then... what counts as "instantiation"? You can easily come up with physical descriptions of finite numbers that vastly outstrip the number of particles that have ever existed in the universe, and yet are necessary to describe things or facts about the universe. It's possible to count more than just things.

Then again, i'm partial to the mindset that says Googology is a silly nonsense parlor game and a number has to actually mean something to be a number, even if we could never "write" that number down.

Except that an idea is not a reality, until it is. You can imagine all sorts of things, hence, science fiction. But, until it becomes and artifact, it doesn't actually exist. It is ether, or fluff, or imagination, but it is not real.

Just as men thinking they are women and claiming to be so is not real. They may try to look like women, or try to act like women, but until they actually become a woman, they are not real.

By claiming the idea is a fact, you have just legitimized an entire subculture of schizophrenic thought. It also is not real.

Trolling a leftie site is like pouring gas into a volcano. It's a waste of resources, and you'll only get your shoes ruined for your efforts.

Our lawn here in SW Wyoming is shot. Severe drought right after the lawn service aerated seeded etc.

We don't care because if you read about how ranchers can't grow grass and hay for their livestock it is understandable.

We live on a dead-end street with five houses. Three of the houses have very green lawns because they have been sneaking out in the middle of the night watering their grass. I'm up most of the night sitting on the patio and I hear the sprinklers running. The neighbor next to us is like us, he isn't watering just like us.

It's a sad life if when a drought and water restrictions don't matter because you want to have the greenest lawn in town.

74 I didn’t mind summer drought when I had a lawn.

It would go dormant. Won’t hurt a thing if you keep traffic off of it. And you don’t have to mow. When cooler temps return in the fall, and precip, it will bounce.

What you can’t do, is bring it back and forth in and out of dormancy. If you’re gonna water the lawn, water the hell out of it, and… you can’t stop, or it will go into shock and die back, killing the roots. Rookie mistake.

The grass here at stately Peon Manor is still growing. Mowed yesterday, will need to mow tomorrow or Wednesday, too. But the growth spurt has slacked off. We have had no lack of rain here.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 27, 2026 09:01 PM (1z8ji)

82 What I mean by that, watering frequently is a pain in the ass, especially in July. So people have a tendency to decide to really soak it, thinking they can get away with that for a day or two or three instead. Establishing sod doesn’t work that way. It’s kinda tricky sometimes.

Is your new lawn 3” above the driveway now?

119 “Rolling lawn” is not a good idea. It just compacts the soil.

What you really want to do, is aerate, if anything. Find out what the soil pH is. Usually or often they need lime. If the pH is off, you can fertilize all you want, and it won’t do anything, because it is unavailable to the plant, or most of it.

I liked to buy 10/10/10 and drop that stuff right before a rain. My lawn loved me, and I loved it, too. LOL

My daughter, when first starting out, worked at an older nursing home near Frankston, Texas. Sad place, the kind of place where families drop the old folks off to forget about them. There was one room they always left vacant; the older employees would jusr say there were “problems” with that room. They even kept it locked.

Fauci Bragged In His Narcissist's Diary That He Caused the Greatest Single-Day Loss in Stock Market History

Before that: Fauci recorded in his narcissist's diary that he was fully aware that Covid-19 had been engineered by humans while publicly dismissing this claim as a "conspiracy theory" -- and of course organizing 12 bought-and-paid-for grant recipients to claim it had evolved naturally.

KanekoaTheGreat
@KanekoaTheGreat
🚨 FAUCI'S PRIVATE DIARY VS. HIS PUBLIC STORY
Jan 31, 2020
Jeremy Farrar and Kristian Andersen warned Fauci that the virus might have been engineered.
Scientists on the call believed the mutations surrounding the furin cleavage site could not have evolved naturally because they required an evolutionary "jump" not found in known bat viruses.
They raised the possibility that the site had been deliberately inserted and then accidentally released from a laboratory.
Fauci proposed assembling a larger group of virologists the following day.
Feb 1, 2020
On the call that ultimately produced "Proximal Origin," 10 of 12 scientists reportedly believed deliberate insertion was possible.
Fauci's notes cited Wuhan scientist Zheng-Li Shi's years of gain-of-function research modifying coronavirus spike proteins to bind human ACE2 receptors.
Eight days later, Fauci went on Newt Gingrich's podcast and publicly dismissed the idea:
"I've heard these conspiracy theories. And like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories."
In March, scientists from the call published "Proximal Origin," which dismissed laboratory engineering as implausible.
In April, Fauci cited the paper from the White House podium without mentioning his role in organizing the discussions behind it.
Why did Fauci publicly ridicule a possibility his own specialists had privately considered credible?
His agency had funded Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
In 2018, EcoHealth proposed inserting a furin cleavage site at the S1/S2 junction of a coronavirus.
In 2019, SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan with a novel furin cleavage site at that exact junction.
The record shows Fauci knew the laboratory-origin hypothesis was considered scientifically plausible.
He lied to the public and called it a "conspiracy theory" anyway.

Now, as for tanking the stock market in an election year: Was Fauci bragging about being the cause of the greatest percentage drop in history just because he's narcissistic evil dwarf, or was bragging that he was doing the Deep State's work in taking Trump's miracle economy away from him?

Tara Servatius
@TaraServatius
DAMN. In early 2020, Fauci recorded in his diary how much he was able to make the stock market drop with his lie that covid was 10x more deadly than the flu.
At the same time, in the same diary, he wrote that covid wasn't any more deadly than the seasonal flu.
While he was going on TV saying the opposite to terrify the public into shutting down the economy.
It was all a lie designed to take out Trump's most formidable weapon for reelection: his booming economy.

This is a bad look for @pfizer. We have multiple instances of CEO Albert Bourla giving Fauci market-moving info the night before it's released publicly. (Although it's important to note there's no record of Fauci personally trading off of these tips.)
Nov. 8, 2020, Bourla at 7:45 p.m. calls Fauci to tell him what the Data Safety Monitoring Board had just seen: 94 infections in the first interim look at the mRNA vaccine trial. Four in the vaccine arm, 90 in placebo. "95% efficacy."
Fauci wrote it down in his diary, exclamation points & all, adding (p. 460): "This will be announced tomorrow."
Nov. 4, 2021, Bourla called again -- "late at night," Fauci notes -- to alert him that Pfizer would announce Paxlovid's "extremely favorable results" the following morning (p. 914). As before, Fauci gets the numbers first.
In July 2021, Pfizer got out ahead of the administration on boosters without warning. Fauci's entry (p. 806): "I received a phone call from Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla who was very sorry and apologetic that he did not Alert me about the Pfizer announcement ahead of time."
Nobody apologizes for skipping a courtesy they never extended. The apology means they had a standing arrangement.
Fauci also helped Pfizer with their European competitor, @AstraZeneca
.
On Aug. 24, 2020, Bourla called "expressing concern about AstraZenica [sic] likely trying to get an EUA [emergency use authorization] for their vaccine before the big companies (Moderna, Pfizer, J & J) complete their phase 3 trials."
Fauci recounts: "We discussed what to do." (p. 313)
Bourla wanted the companies to sign a mutual agreement. Fauci's counter-proposal was to mobilize the scientific community to publicly demand the FDA show its data before authorizing anything, knowing that would delay AstraZeneca's application.
Earlier that month, Fauci recounted a meeting where EUA was being considered for AstraZeneca, & Fauci frets that this happening would help Trump & hurt Pfizer's ongoing trials:
"An EUA will likely get in the way of completing the RCTs that are going on. Clearly. This is politically driven and will be a ploy for Trump to get re-elected."
Ultimately Pfizer received the first EUA in December. AstraZeneca never received it.
Six months later, at Yale University's "Legend in Leadership" award, Bourla and J&J's Alex Gorsky delivered tribute speeches to Fauci.

This is a bad look for @pfizer. We have multiple instances of CEO Albert Bourla giving Fauci market-moving info the night before it's released publicly. (Although it's important to note there's no record of Fauci personally trading off of these tips.)

Fauci lied to the public in claiming that he had nothing to do with "locking down anything" -- while bragging in his diary that he convinced mayors to shut down schools:

David Zweig
@davidzweig
Fauci: "Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did." (2023, NYT)

"First of all, I didn't recommend locking anything down."

Democrats knew that scared Liberal Boomers would do literally anything to protect themselves from COVID. Up to, and including, destroying the lives of their fellow Americans. And they knew that that would hurt Trump.
Plus, it allowed them to cheat in the election, so that was an added bonus.

They worshiped Fauci, not because they believed him, but because he could be used as a battering ram against their political enemies.

33 Based on some of the correspondence of people like Dazak and Fraudci, and some sources analyzing this, here's how I think the Mad Science went down.

1. They considered killed virus "stuck in the past".
2. mRNA was an emerging technology
3. Rubes will never accept "modern virus technology".
4. We'll never get there like this.
5. We have to develop more communicable vaccines that people would really fear.
6. Pandemic and mRNA Jabs!

This also explains why they ran 28-32 cycles on Covid "tests". So that we would not lose the plot that we all needed these space-age jabs, so they could collect data using humanity as labratory rats.

>>NEW: On page 302 of the new personal records of Dr. Fauci released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Fauci complains that in 2013, HHS didn't let him do a CNN television interview because of "pure jealousy", adding that it was because he's a "rockstar" who was "stealing their thunder."

What is worse is that he then turned around and did not recommend closing those places, and he also said that normal people were at risk.

I had relative in industry at the time, and it was well understood that the source and cause was their unbelievable decadence and perversions. The solution from the start was to crack down hard on the gay lifestyle. Fauci knew this just as he knew the Wuhan Flu was no worse than the seasonal flu.

Fauchi may be the worser evil. His evil has had long lasting and on-going consequences. The only thing I can think of that Biden did was saddle us with the DEI idiot on the Supreme Court. Even that, she serves as an on-going reminder of why it's a bad idea to hire based on race and gender.

125 I haven't any evidence or any experience in the field but I think the Public Health officials saw an opportunity in the response to COVID. They tried to use the panic to condition the public in obeying them, without question, without protest and without any real evidence for their positions. That's how we got useless masks, meaningless 'distancing' and counter-productive plexiglass barriers. The public health officials wanted instant, knee-jerk obedience no matter what order they gave. And to a degree, it worked, witness the people who still wear useless masks to this day.
Unfortunately, for them, and to a degree, for us, they completely nuked their credibility with the majority of the public. In the future, there may be another crisis and their advice might actually be correct. And the majority of the public might ignore them due to past performance.

126 I think a lot of things happen, and continue to happen because at some point in the past heads should have rolled as a consequence, literally, but never did.

A turdbreath with no personality, who always felt he was the smartest in the room. But no one noticed and tiny, sad trombone sounds emit from whitey tidies.

By HS he was plotting to be "in charge." To "be important." To "be noticed worldwide." In HS I was plotting how to get out of HS and to have as much fun as possible, like a fairly normal human.

By college he found he excelled in science and yippee! Finally! He found his calling!

The plotting, bullsh*tting continued with mentors and politics and $$ flashing in his beady, villian eyes. Somehow he was going to get noticed. He was.

He planned this from his teens. Maybe not the Wuhan lab or splitting any cleavage other than bosoms. But the source of evil was implanted in his thoughts. Of this I have no doubt as he reeks of this narcissism need.

137 Been busy with my paid job. How did the congressional committee get access to Fauci's diary? Is he such an egomaniac he made it public. Can they subpoena a private diary? Having been pardoned perhaps Fauci wanted the world to know how much he did to tank Trump in 2020, certainly he wasn't willing to burn the diary to avoid having the world know what he had done, he apparently thinks he is a hero. One good thing out of 2020, rubes like me learned that Pence was with the deep state and not MAGA. I know some here at AoS never trusted him, but I did. I thought he was too weak spined to be POTUS but I thought he was loyal to Trump and the MAGA idea.

I think many of us have some regrets but that was the choice we had at the time at the time. Even so, I'm not sure we can lay this on Bush or Cheney. Fauci is clearly a whack job who was mad with power.

I no joke think he's a psychopath. He was writing a running total of the number of sick and deaths on the same pages he was bragging he was becoming a worldwide media superstar and he knew he was behind the virus the whole time.

I told him I was following the rules and if he didn't like it he could take it up with my boss, since he had already chewed butts for not "following the chain of command." Works both ways.

And they had multiple, multi billion dollar projects that weren't going to wait for the insanity to stop. So they didn't mandate it.

But they made it hell for the ones who wouldn't. You had to wear masks all damned day. They gave bonuses and vacations to the shot-up. And then in the final coupdegrace they had a special coming out celebration during the work day where all the shot got to take their masks off forever more while looking down on the lower mask caste.

Still pisses me off. Don't work there any more. And that's one of a few reasons why.

Obama made gain of function research in the US illegal. Fauci wanted gain of function COVID to sell to the pentagon for biological warfare. So he had to do it at his pet bio warfare in Wuhan. This was legal because the law said only Fauci could do GoF research approvals out of the US.

But the staff there, being Chinese took lab specimens off site to eat and sell at the wet market (across the street) for spare change. There were warnings of poor security before the outbreak.

DoD turned him down for funding for military bio agents. Then it got out.

Much I cannot find now (surprise!) but it was enough that our sons, DIL and a gf listened to me. I begged them via email with facts I collected. I explained that it takes 10yrs to see if there are side effects long term, AND how the first mRNA vax were causing women to have period again after menopause. Irregular periods. Stuff that could possibly impact fertility. They listened, for once in their lives.

We did, under pressure, to fly to see my elderly mother, have the J&J vax and, so far, knock wood, are ok. Not the mRNA and I tell my ARNP I will never have one of any form.

He was healthy as a horse until he was 98, then suddenly took a turn for the worse with a lot of vague mysterious ailments, and finally just died (diagnosis: "Failure to Thrive." which basically just means, "Dropped dead of unknown causes") after a year of going downhill.

Didn't dawn on me until just this moment that...he died in 2022, and suddenly took a turn for the worse right after getting...his Covid vaccine. Didn't make the connection until now, actually.

I believe a lot of stores were operating on "whatever our customers are doing, we need to be doing it too" principle.

There were store employees who were downright relieved when I came into the store defiant and unmasked. It encouraged others, and in short time fewer and fewer customers came in with masks and then one day, it ended for the store and their people were allowed to breath free again. (and those who still wanted to hide behind their security ~~blanket~~ face diaper, they could)

217 Today's word: Masks. The 'N-95' is the Majick Mask, yes? No.

Pore size determines effectiveness. The pore size of the vaunted 'N-95' mask is THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LARGER than the Covid virion. Ain't no 'protection' there, folks.

And: IF Covid was such a fucking 'threat' … WHY were the parking lots of Walmart and gas stations littered with them. Should they not have been picked up and treated as 'Red-Bag Hazardous Medical Waste'? Well yeah, but hey …

218 Not sure that particular theology is going to overcome the gigantic ego that is Fauci. Would take one heck of a change of view on his part. He thinks he is God, so he doesn't believe in hell. Why would he listen to another God? He likes the one he has.

Who knows? He might has his own Road to Damascus.

221 Sometime read up on the story of Kriner's Diner in Anchorage. They refused to close down, and the city felt the need to fine them some horrid punitive daily fine for staying open. They had more customers than they could handle for the better part of a year. Most folks donated to cover their fines. And then the mayor got caught with his pants down and was run out of office, and suddenly the fines went away.

It was quite the rallying cry around here.

The virus was for us. Why would you possibly think the CCP would have any idea what we were working on in a lab in Wuhan? If they did not know, they found out a few days later when people started dying in Wuhan.

That's when they started shipping infected people to Italy, Europe and the US.

The lab was an 'independent' lab, not a functionary of the CCP government. It was working for us. Now, not being an idiot I'm sure they knew just what they were working on but it was not government to government dealing. It was Fauci's own side deal.

Now once the shit hit the fan, China made sure to spread the disease world wide to make sure they weren't the only ones dying.

Because it wasn’t just about military uses.
Their stated purpose was to make a vaccine for corona viruses and they had to do GoF to develop it before nature developed the virus before them.

They wanted to be ready for another SARS, etc.

It was a dangerous idea from the start and obviously so, so they outsourced it to the Chinese, who have never been known for their safety records of quality assurance, like idiots.

They were going to develop MRNA vaccines and make trillions and we all got a taste of that technology as a bonus screw-up.

After that if anyone mentioned the dam shot I would say I've had it and now have some immunity (and be thinking, "bite moi" as I said it).

Sister in laws had every single booster and every shot offered. I refuse everything and my ARNP says that's fine. I did take the old person pneumonia vax (not mRNA) because I get bronchitis easily and need inhalers now and then. So far so good.

I know of one person who got cancer after the first round of mRNA. Whether she was getting it first or not will never be known and she's fought hard.

What bugs me now is the huge increase in pancreatic cancers, which used to be rare. Related?

I rarely see masks anymore, altho had a huge dust up with one SIL years later at a family dinner about masks being preventative. It was so retarded.

Incompetent Woke Karen Who Ran Cracker Barrel Into the Ground Fired and Replaced (by a Man)

Breaking911
@Breaking911
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino is stepping down after the company's controversial rebrand sparked backlash from longtime customers. The overhaul removed the iconic Uncle Herschel mascot and many of the nostalgic decorations that had defined the chain for decades.
After widespread criticism, Cracker Barrel reversed course and embraced its traditional identity. The company says former Bloomin' Brands CEO David Deno, whose company owns Outback Steakhouse, will take over as CEO on August 10.

NY Post:

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino is stepping down after the failure of her "woke" rebrand last year, which was rolled back following intense backlash from loyal customers, the company announced Monday.
David Deno, a restaurant exec who most recently served as CEO of Bloomin' Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse, will replace Masino on August 10, according to a Cracker Barrel press release.
Masino will remain at Cracker Barrel in an advisory capacity until October 9 to ensure a smooth transition, the company said.
Shares in Cracker Barrel slipped 2.4% Monday.
Her departure comes after less than three years at the helm, during which diners revolted against the company's attempts to modernize the Southern dining chain last August by axing its beloved mascot Uncle Herschel and revamping restaurants without its trademark tchotchkes.
Following heated backlash from longtime customers and even President Trump himself, Cracker Barrel reversed the changes and leaned into its folksy charm -- ultimately sending the stock up 100% so far this year.

I can't help noticing that in four cases -- Bud Light; Cracker Barrel; Star Wars/Lucasfilm; and Disney's Marvel studio -- executives have decided to throw over/ignore the brands' historic male (or traditionalist) customer base in an insane drive to remake them into something Carrie Bradshaw would write about on Sex and the City.

In three of those cases, a female executive decided that "old" customer base just wasn't hip and Fashion Forward enough and decided to remake the brand into something that would make her the heroine of her feminist friend circle. In the fourth case, a similar rebrand was performed by Kevin Feige, who is a weak cuck pussy.

This is unprofessional, obviously. If you're trusted with a business or brand, it's your job to strengthen the brand's sales, not remake it into something you or your urban coastal liberal galpals would be proud to patronize. (Or matronize.)

I don't think this is necessarily something to do with women, but it does have everything to do with feminism, a cult to which a lot of "professional" (or maybe not so professional) women belong to.

Men aren't compelled to remake female brands into ones they and their buddies would be proud to spend money on, because there is no political cult popular among men demanding we do that.

But many women do belong to the cult of feminism, which demands that every single product or service be made appealing first and foremost to urban coastal liberal women. This is not a business calculation; in terms of business strategy, it's a lunatic disaster, and it was obviously a lunatic disaster before the actual data came in.

This is the doctrine of a nasty pseudoreligion. Whether it makes money or loses it hand over fist is besides the point. The important thing is, Women Must See Themselves Represented In All Products at All Times, period.

NEW: Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino to step down just one year after the company’s disastrous rebrand.

Masino oversaw the company’s axing of Uncle Herschel and their restaurants’ iconic tchotchkes.

22 "Men aren't compelled to remake female brands into ones they and their buddies would be proud to spend money on, because there is no political cult popular among men demanding we do that."

Note that changing movies for a "modern audience" only goes one way. Action adventure films must have strong wahmen in lead roles, "diverse" casts, and plotlines that resonate emotionally with a female audience.

You will never see Elliot Page as the "male" lead in a Romantic Comedy, nor will you see anyone suggesting that chick flicks should include car chases to "broaden the demographic appeal."

One thing a good FEMALE friend told me once after I had a weird breakup after a couple year relationship.

A lot of Women go into a relationship based on what they think a Man can change into, with their help of course...

While most Men go into a relationship hoping she will never change.

Now... let's look at Women CEOs...

I’m not sure that’s the basis of the CB rebrand. I think that rebrand was just stupid desperation because sales were falling amidst quality control issues. Plus, a lot of people made a lot of money on the rebrand, so the whole thing seemed to me like looting the company before the chapter 11.

They do. They have trouble with group think and consensus. Which isn't always bad. But sometimes it is.

Men do better with female input. For example when they are in a situation where they need to put more value on consensus. There are a lot of things where consensus building is important. Politics. And politics is a thing in business. But yeah, a woman, surrounded by other women, is locked in a bubble. A man, without female input is likewise in a bubble.

That's fair enough but the women who want to and get put in charge of major companies or brands are almost always going to be liberals. They're stronk independent girlbosses who don't need no man that graduated from a hard-left Ivy League university (redundant I know) with a degree in Gender Studies with a minor in Critical Theory, and have all the connections. Plus they get DEI points. So female "leadership" is inevitably going to skew left and incompetent because that's the pool they're drawing from.

I used to carry a list of CB locations all over the US in my car for road trips and ate there several times a year. Yet, on my run to Evansville in '25 and to Salina, KS, this year, I found myself stopping over and over at Waffle House, and not a single CB.

I’m not sure that’s the basis of the CB rebrand. I think that rebrand was just stupid desperation because sales were falling amidst quality control issues. Plus, a lot of people made a lot of money on the rebrand, so the whole thing seemed to me like looting the company before the chapter 11.

164 I'd be willing to bet that 50% of Americans think that the "cracker" in "Cracker Barrel" refers not to small rectangles of wheat biscuits stored in a barrel but instead to a barrel where lower-class white countryside hicks hang out. Like, this is a restaurant by and for "crackers" exclusively.

The female CE took one look at the logo and pointed to the old white man in the logo and said, "THAT guy is why mostpeople think "cracker" refers to "white people." We've got t get rid of him."

Thing is, she's probably right. The white dude in the logo probably DOES serve to identify this as a "white folks' brand.

But since, therefore, 90% of your custmers and thus white folks, pissing them off and driving the away is a recipe for bankruptcy.

If you have an all-American brand, either embrace, or quit your job. Trying to change it into a anti-American brand is just going to lose your sharehloders all their money.

Posted by: zombie at July 27, 2026 06:13 PM (Av6i5)

165 It's not so much that Cracker Barrel got rid of Uncle Herschel. The biggest problem Cracker Barrel has is that the food is not nearly as good as it was about 20 or so years ago. I think it's more like industrial cooking as opposed to good old-fashioned cooking from scratch, and that makes a big difference.

Posted by: Ralph at July 27, 2026 06:13 PM (8WZD4)

166 There is more to this than "woke rebranding." Cracker Barrel went to premade portion controlled food (which sucks) rather than making its stuff from scratch in each restaurant kitchen. Of course, with a breakfast menu like CB, making scratch is generally fine. Waffle House makes stuff from scratch and McDonalds has everything premade (which is why McD's sucks).

The quality of the food dropped and then they thought they could misdirect with a 'rebranding' which totally backfired. It was a double whammy of how to fook up your brand. Not quite as bad as Bud Light, but definitely bad.

Posted by: Smell the Glove at July 27, 2026

***
When Krispy Kreme opened its first store in Denver in about '98-'99, people were lining up in their cars to put in an order -- sitting in line for an hour, we were told. I never went. Seems to me I recall passing by the location in '01, not long before I left town, and there were two cars in line.

Either Denver was starved for donut sources -- which I doubt -- or Denver people were so starved for novelty that they were willing to burn gas sitting in line to experience it. Either way it's not a good sign.

We have a KK here in the suburbs. It drove a local shop of Tastee Donuts, which had been across the street for decades, to close down (I don't know if the chain is still extant). Tastee's donuts were about the same quality, but much cheaper -- but KK has its big glossy storefront to impress people.

Cracker Barrel is NOT a franchise chain, meaning they own a lot of pretty prime real estate.

Which will be sold to cronies with sweetheart deals.

205 I used to love Outback but around Covid era it just went to shit and never really recovered. The one by my house was almost always busy but now its dead.

Texas Roadhouse stole a lot of their business. They just seem way better run.

Casual dining though is so flipping expensive now. I dont understand how the middle class can make it work spending nearly $100 for a family of 4 to eat out.

206 20 years ago, Crack Barrel was pretty dang good, especially their breakfast.

Last time I went there, I got something like chicken fried steak, and green beans on the side. They basically dumped a can of Delmonte beans on my plate. At least they drained the water off first. How fucking hard is it to steam some fresh green beans?

207 Nearby Outback is really very good mid range food. Of course where we live the wait staff says have a blessed day when you leave, and they write God Bless You on your takeout food bags. That always makes the food taste better, to me.

212 Here is the main reason.

These DEI hires had success throughout their career pushing the DEI agenda. Most were hired because of their advocacy and positions. They got into uni because of their "victim status" and there essays about grlll power or black power or gay power, etc.

So that is the winning strategy for them.

That is the formula they know. It worked so far. It got them the position. Now in that position, that is still all they know so they keep pressing the same lever.

215 Cracker Barrell was paying CEO Julie Felss Masino a base salary of $1,000,000 a year but she was probabably raking in more like $6.6 million a year. So she was grossly over paid.

She had success at Taco Bell, but CB did not work out that way. She will probably get some gig to destroy some other company.

224 The female CE took one look at the logo and pointed to the old white man in the logo and said, "THAT guy is why mostpeople think "cracker" refers to "white people." We've got t get rid of him."

Thing is, she's probably right. The white dude in the logo probably DOES serve to identify this as a "white folks' brand.

But since, therefore, 90% of your custmers and thus white folks, pissing them off and driving the away is a recipe for bankruptcy.

If you have an all-American brand, either embrace, or quit your job. Trying to change it into a anti-American brand is just going to lose your sharehloders all their money.

I believe KK made much bugger donuts in the 80s & 90s when they were still pretty much limited to the South. They started shrinking their donut sizes about 20 years ago when they got big and expanded.

Cracker Barrel bought the Maple Street Biscuit Company chain for $36 million in cash in 2019, with then-President and CEO saying they had “long admired Maple Street Biscuit Company with its emphasis on made-from-scratch food and hospitality.” The breakfast-and-lunch-focused brand opened its first location in 2012 and would have restaurants in 10 states within a decade.

There are now more than 30 locations listed on Maple Street Biscuit Company’s website.

However, those locations have now been acquired by Biscuit Belly following Cracker Barrel’s divestiture.

“Acquiring an iconic brand like Maple Street, one of the original gourmet biscuit sandwich concepts, was not on my 2026 bingo card,” Chad Coulter, co-founder and CEO of Biscuit Belly, said in a press release.

Love or hate isn't what kills your brand, apathy is. You've got a slow downward slide of sales, the adverts aren't working, so you try something drastic.

Bring in a new CEO, let them make drastic changes. If people love it, you win. Stop there.

If people hate it, you bring in another CEO to fix it, and people love you again.

Saw "The Odyssey".

I can now see why people like it and hate it.

First,the Like: Very well-made movie. Some great acting. Excellent direction for the set pieces. Clear theme throughout. If you know nothing of "The Odyssey", this is a movie you can enjoy and won't be bored in.

The Hate: The Greeks were basically a shame society. We live in a guilt society. Nolan made a movie for a guilt society.

In a "guilt movie", the hero has to feel guilt over something. In this case, Odysseus feels guilt over his triumph, the Trojan Horse and the Fall of Troy, which totally inverts the story. If this sounds like Ancient Greek Oppenheimer, it is.

I believe Nolan even sneaks in an atomic destruction reference from "The Planet of the Apes"(!) with the Trojan Horse looking more like it was abandoned than left as a gift, half-buried in sand and tilted at the same angle as the Statue of Liberty in TPoTA.

Every triumph or escape from the dangers of that Odysseus and his men encounter is just another chance to portray Odysseus and his men as venal, violent a-holes. This accounts for the flatness of the movie.

Circe pretty much lays it all out in her sequence. And when after Odysseus begging her to return his men. She brings them back form pigs by saying"Return to your disguise. Return to your disguise."

See? they aren't men or brave soldiers in reality, Odysseus and his men are merely pigs in disguise.
This is the inheritance of Nolan using the feminist translation. At some point, we always get the angry feminist view of things from some woman. Again this undercuts the movie and story.

Penelope even complains about the "glass-ceiling" in Greek society that won't allow her to rule as Queen. In a really nice bit of dialogue, she says "I have sat on an empty throne for 20 years." That says it all and much more, buuuuut then she goes on to junk up the clean declaration with a bunch of feminist gobbledygook. Sad.

This even explains the odd casting of "Elliot Page". it's weird trannie looks tend inevitable toward the feminine, and when in hell Odysseus gets a berating from Ol' Elli about his lies that sounds remarkably like a girl's complaint delivered by an oddly feminine looking "boy".

Nolan made the Odyssey guilt trip. He skinned it of meaning a wears it inside out.

I’m rusty at this stuff, but you’ll need a metric ocean of water to keep it from dying. Fall is the best time to plant bluegrass, for example. Lawn and Garden shops would be foolish to not sell grass seed in the Spring, but it’s the worst time to try and grow it.

This is a cult. A cult that justifies mass murder, even of its own fellow cultists.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time, yet leftists still refuse to see it!
Gay American in Berlin says that, after Islamists plowed a van into Pride parade-goers, he would have expected an attack like this to happen in the United States rather than in Germany.
REALITY CHECK!
In the past 5 years, with the U.S. population roughly 4 times larger than Germany's:
🇩🇪 Germany (pop. ~84.7M)
Islamist attacks: 8--10
Killed: 15--18
Injured: 70--90
🇺🇸 United States (pop. ~344M)
Islamist attacks: 5--8
Killed: 3--6
Injured: 15--30
This is what happens when you open your borders to radical Islamists who hate the West.
Again and again they prove Islam is incompatible with Western culture and values. Yet somehow it's always the fault of white Christian men.

All of them make me question how do they blow their nose? With a sinus infection and you blow does snot squirt out the extra hole like a whale? Tres attractive.

Eyebrow piercings litterally give me a nanosecond headache.

It's a well-known scientific fact that the nervus idioticus runs through the nasal septum.

Septum rings cause constant irritation and thus constant stimulation from the nervus idioticus to the frontal lobe of the brain creating massive functional retardation.

It's science, people!

77 The worst part of this entire disaster is that this kid was born in Germany to a Lebanese mother, at some point he got radicalized and went to Lebanon to hang out with terrorists.

So the German government has him arrested in Lebanon and extradited back to Germany where they convict him for terrorist plotting and then sentence him to time served in detention plus 26 sessions of "Anti-Radicalization" education of which he took two sessions and then decided to ram a van into a crowd of people and then stabbing them with a machete.

And when Marchion entered for the first time — after placing a winning $525,000 bid for the $650,000-valued home — he found three dead bodies inside ...

The skeletal remains, for the two bodies that have been identified, are those of Sally Anne Cash, who would have turned 54 on Monday, and her son Brian, who would have turned 23 this month. The third body remains under DNA testing for identification; Cash bought the Cape Cod-style residence in 2019 with her husband, Paul.

104 Overall, AfD has overtaken every single other political party. Eventually, with nonsense like "Abdul should have had free aversion therapy", the AfD majority is going to hold a super majority, and then the shit is going to hit the proverbial fan.

After the war, Goering predicted that, in 50 years' time, there would be small statues of him in every house in Germany, meaning (I think) that the anger, presumed political betrayal and societal collapse which animated the Nazi party could only be suppressed by the conquerors for so long, and then the desire for a 'pure' fatherland would re-emerge.

Not that I am comparing AfD to the Nazis - only making the point that it is certainly possible Islam is overplaying its hand and while Auschwitz may not be on the horizon, Dachau certainly can be.

154 The straw that breaks the camel's back in Germany is going to be Oktoberfest. Initially, when Muslims first started arriving in bulk, they immediately formed a movement to have all alcohol removed from Oktoberfest. And, if you've ever been to the Festival, you'd know that the 12 major Brewer "tents" are the centerpiece of the celebration. The Muslims got shot down and told that there would be no alterations. Your friendly neighborhood liberal press will tell you that there never was such a movement (which is a lie).

HOWEVER, here we are about 20 years later, and their influence, obviously, has grown. So, I think they'll give it another shot in rather short order. Last year they even shut down the Festival for a day because they had a bomb threat from north of Munich. No details on the suspects so....yup.

A lot of my cow-workers were fat and drove trucks/SUVs so as you can imagine people started hitting other cars with their doors and damning the company that owned the building.

I copied and pasted the ordinance from the mayor they voted for demanded the company repaint the lines. Their answers? "This must be false" or "Well the company didn't HAVE to paint the lines so small" or
"They should have made an exemption for me and my car"

And yes a couple of years later they all voted for the same leftist mayor again

180 Septum Theory is an idea coined and popularized by Black men's rights activist Torraine Walker. Walker has been expressing his weariness about people with septum piercings since as early as 2017, but it wasn't until 2023 when he articulated his theories about people with septum rings in the form of a video.

In the video, Walker suggests that you can tell someone is a man-hater and feminist with radical, anti-male opinions if they have a septum ring. He shows some examples of women arguably speaking poorly about men as an example, each with a septum piercing.

Since then, Walker has continued to point out examples of his theory on X / Twitter, calling out both men and women with the piercings routinely.

The same useful idiots are all-in on inviting Mooselimbs of the Religion of Peace (TM) into their nations, again because their Betters tell them they must. This is what happens when academics and politicians delete and/or re-write history to advance their evil policies.

Posted by: Oldcat

Lead in metallic form is actually pretty stable which is why battery clamps are made from it or lead was used in roofs. But, change it to something like lead acetate, sugar of lead, not so good. Very water soluble and highly toxic, neurotoxic, and classified as a probable human carcinogen and teratogen.

Used a long time as a hair dye to darken hair.

Simply put, people with tattoos are unwitting conducting live tests on themselves of long term effects of pigments as did their parents and grandparents with different substances.

305 Drew Carey was at the Correspondants dinner (I think when W was president) and he did a joke about what would happen if women were the leaders of every country. As an example he used the UK and the US.

America: "UK, why did you attack us?"

UK: "Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you. You know what you did."

True History:

Emperor of Austria had no male heir in the 1740s or so but had a daughter. So he went about all of Europe making treaties with all his subject nation and other Euro nations to accept Maria Teresa as Empress when he died. So he dies, and Frederick of Prussia instantly invades the Austrian province of Silesia and takes it thinking she's weak. Soon all of the west is scrapping, including a war in the New World. Frederick gets a separate peace, then later jumps back in again and gets spanked and when the smoke clears he keeps his first province.

The Empress is still pissed, so eventually builds a coalition to teach Prussia a lesson so the 7 Years War results, in the Americas known as the French and Indian war results. Prussia kept Silesia.

Thune Schemes to Put the Senate Into Recess Until Late August, Ending Any Chance of Passing SAVE Before the Elections

I hate these people.

President Donald Trump on Monday called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to keep the Senate in session to terminate the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act.
Trump took to Truth Social in the morning to pressure Thune to keep senators working in Washington until the SAVE America Act, which takes a number of steps to secure federal elections, is passed.
"John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to 'leave town' until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!" Trump wrote.
Because 60 votes are required for passing the SAVE America Act -- which would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote, voter ID, and end universal mail-in ballots with a few exceptions -- Republicans would need to end the filibuster to advance it with a simple majority.
Trump stressed that if and when Democrats return to power, they will immediately nuke the filibuster.
"The Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can't believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership. Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!" Trump added.

Thune's scheme was to move to adjourn the Senate. If there is no objection, the motion would be approved unanimously with no roll-call.

Scott Presler called for a Senator to object and force a Yea or Nay roll call. At least then the McConnell sell-outs like Thune, Lankford, McConnell, Murkowski, etc. would be on-the-record in favor of continued vote fraud by Democrats.

ThePersistence
@ScottPresler

We need ONE brave Senator to force a roll call vote in order for the Senate to vote
on leaving for a 37-day paid vacation for August recess.
We need ONE Senator to object to unanimous consent & "ask for the yeas and nays."

HOLY COW!

BREAKING NEWS

Senator Mike Lee just said that he will force a roll call vote

in order for the Senate to vote on whether or not to leave DC for the August recess.

Five Republicans have now said they will object and force a roll call vote, including Ashley Moody and Lindsey Graham's sister Darline.

BREAKING

It appears Senator Darline Graham is our 5th Senator to support no recess until the SAVE America Act is passed. pic.twitter.com/xMtFlaJpSU
— ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) July 27, 2026

Meanwhile, Thune continues his mentor Mitch McConnell's practice of never formally recessing the Senate, thereby denying Trump the right enjoyed by all previous presidents of making temporary (one-year) recess appointments when the senate is recessed.

.@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote.

Do not assume you have my consent.

You do not. https://t.co/jyt1lvkmQu

34 Easter Wings by George Herbert
Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,
Though foolishly he lost the same,
Decaying more and more,
Till he became
Most poore:
With thee
O let me rise
As larks, harmoniously,
And sing this day thy victories:
Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

My tender age in sorrow did beginne
And still with sicknesses and shame.
Thou didst so punish sinne,
That I became
Most thinne.
With thee
Let me combine,
And feel thy victorie:
For, if I imp my wing on thine,
Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

To repurpose a rather disgusting cliche, Thune can shit and then get off the pot. He can force all the fake Republicans on the record. Then he can call a real recess and not open "pro forma" kabuki. He should have done this earlier and earned some respect from DJT and his voters.

Yeah, about that... Even just medium-quality data would include age and vaxx status. So, if the vaxx increased mortality for younger people, then even if the manufacturers are immune from legal liability, everyone that pushed it would be publicly subject to moral culpability. Entire professions, including Education and The Media, would use every scrap and shred of their influence to avert that hit to their Good Will.

A few pesky holdouts? Strong arm them bigot behind the scenes, threaten their committee positions, their favorite upcoming legislation, etc. until they fall tf in line!!

I’m sorry, but knowing how the Democrats can consistently come together to get stuff done for decades, I refuse to accept this crap about him being oh so helpless in the face of a few dissenting Republicans.

No, Thune doesn’t want it, he doesn’t want Trump’s administration appointments to go through and it’s time he’s held accountable for all of this.
He needs to be replaced.

100 Commondreams.org: Trump Orders GOP Leader to Cancel Recess and Pass Massive Voter Suppression Bill
Experts say the so-called Save America Act would prevent millions from casting ballots by imposing onerous documentation requirements.

These buffoons haven't explained how they would facilitate this document requirement for citizens so that they can vote unimpeded. It’s almost as if suppression is the goal.

Offer to implement it in 2030, to get this implementation straightened out. They won't agree, but it will point out that the act its self is not the point the chaos it will cause is.

The fact that most states' Real IDs don't live up to the standard of this bill as reported is such hot garbage.

I want to remind everyone about the separation of our branches of government. The GOP bending the knee to everything he does makes that a flawed idea these days.

Kinda fucked up when you realize that basically everything about our government is run on the honor system. Those with no honor can do whatever they want and there are practically zero consequences because nothing is codified.

101 Thune continues his mentor Mitch McConnell's practice of never formally recessing the Senate, thereby denying Trump the right enjoyed by all previous presidents of making temporary (one-year) recess appointments when the senate is recessed.

Because there's no downside. If the "the Dems are insane, you have to vote for us!" scam doesn't work, then they will happily hunker down as the minority party, using that as an endless excuse for why they can't pass any meaningful legislation.

Posted by: Don Black

Not quite. Majority Leaders have been deposed before. Genteely but firmly. And the olde gange of Mitch is doomed as they age out, stroke out, lose out, or fall out.

Of all the GOPe types in the House that voted for the shampeachment. One is left Daladao and he is in a fight for his political career in California.

Cassidy voted for shampeachment and soon will be former senator.

Thune's popularity has dropped like a rock in South Dakota and a former SD governor named Noem just might take a pot shot at reviving her career there.

Trump put a shot across their bow that if any of those officials knowingly let illegals vote, then they are criminally liable. That puts a chill in the cheat and they are prosecuting all those illegals that the Dems, GOPe, and the media tell us don't vote even if they are illegally registered.

And I think he wins at Scotus on the US Postal Service rules.

Whig, that looks good on paper, but here's the reality. There has a been a fast growing trend of ignoring the law, and that behavior is being sanctioned by local government and sometimes state government. Locations like Seattle and Portland flaunt that approach. The Governor of Minnesota issues pardons based on political spite. Newsom signs laws out of spite (ICE masks et. al).

I'm usually leaning on the side of optimism, but on this particular issue we are talking about the continued existance of the Democrat party. Those are the stakes. This is their hill to die on, because there are no other hills. Even some of the lesser subtle Democrat congressional representatives are inadvertantly noting that if the SAVE Act passess and is instituted, they're finished.

So, suppose it passes. Now what do they do. Well, they keep it from being enforced, which requires them to dig the hole deeper. They've never had an issue with that endeavor. They've got the entire press corp on their side. And, they'd rather burn it all down than give up power.

A little afterwards, on Feb 28th, 1890, Charles Kincaid, a newspaper correspondent, fatally shot former Congressman William Taulbee of Kentucky. The two men had a volatile history which began in 1887 when Kincaid wrote a story implicating Taulbee in an extramarital affair.

I am curious as to how you come to that conclusion, whig. From what I see, all Trump did was insult them and call them out for being democrat shills.

If he really were 'out for blood,' why aren't press passes pulled in perpetuity? Why aren't sedition and incitement charges being filed against CNN or the NYT? Why aren't the MFM barred from the White House and told that if they so even cast as much as a shadow on the grounds, they will be met with gunfire?

IMO, Trump talks about the MFM being the enemy of the people, but he treats them like simpleminded chuckleheads who just need a little slapping around.

An amendment to repeal an existing one can be proposed in one of two ways: either by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or by a constitutional convention called by Congress upon the application of two-thirds of state legislatures (currently 34 states). The President has no role in this proposal process, as Article V does not involve the executive branch.

325 Ayers oh so conveniently escaped Justice on some sort of queer technicality. Like he had immunity, almost. Almost. Bernadine Dohrn praised the Sharon Tate slaughter, stating it was “Groovy!” that she was stabbed with a fork, among other … things. These people are monsters, make no mistake. They might have been outliers in 1969 but they are common now.

Ayers had a NYT hagiographic piece written in the New York Times, contemptuously standing on the American flag. It was only below the fold, because it was published 11 September 2001; it always seemed to me that there is most definitely serendipity, but it has a much darker side component as well.

339 322 Education for Sid:

An amendment to repeal an existing one can be proposed in one of two ways: either by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or by a constitutional convention called by Congress upon the application of two-thirds of state legislatures (currently 34 states). The President has no role in this proposal process, as Article V does not involve the executive branch.

On the other hand, Sid appears to have conceded the fact that the hated 2nd Amendment can only be repealed or amended by Constitutional processes... even if he's citing the ones that don't apply. How about that? A commie cocksucker proposing a Constitutional process, a monstrously evil one to be sure. Amazing.

I am curious as to how you come to that conclusion, whig. From what I see, all Trump did was insult them and call them out for being democrat shills.

If he really were 'out for blood,' why aren't press passes pulled in perpetuity? Why aren't sedition and incitement charges being filed against CNN or the NYT? Why aren't the MFM barred from the White House and told that if they so even cast as much as a shadow on the grounds, they will be met with gunfire?

IMO, Trump talks about the MFM being the enemy of the people, but he treats them like simpleminded chuckleheads who just need a little slapping around.

Rand Paul Publishes Anthony Fauci's Private Diaries, In Which He Confesses He Knows Covid Didn't Come from "The Wet Market" and Has a Lethality of Only 0.2-0.3%;
The Media Refuses to Cover

And they won't cover it because the diaries also expose this deranged dwarfish narcissist as being their dinner-guest and "friendship building" pal.

Fox:

ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MS NOW ignore Fauci diary entries that reveal fixation on fame during COVID

Networks failed to mention the story from Saturday through Monday morning, according to a search of transcripts

Eye-popping diary entries written by Dr. Anthony Fauci reveal the former White House COVID advisor was fixated on his newfound celebrity at the height of the global pandemic, but anyone who relies on legacy media outlets for news and information may not be aware.
ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN and MS NOW's on-air broadcasts ignored Fauci's diary entries from the time they were released on Saturday afternoon through Monday at 9 a.m. ET when flagship morning shows had concluded, according to a search of transcripts using Grabien Media.
Released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., the journals chronicle Fauci's day-to-day role during the COVID-19 crisis through conversations with President Donald Trump, governors and world leaders, media appearances, and his personal observations as the pandemic unfolded in 2020.

Paul, a longtime Fauci critic who frequently clashed with him over the federal response and the origins of the virus, made the diaries public as part of the committee's ongoing oversight investigation. The diary entries document Fauci's fondness of his newfound fame, cozy relationships with a variety of legacy media personalities, his growing frustration with the Trump White House and the suggestion that it was "not hyperbole" to say he was "the most famous and talked about person in the country."

The diary entries exploded on social media but appear to have been ignored by mainstream news networks.
...
CNN's on-air blackout came despite anchor Jake Tapper appearing repeatedly throughout the private diary entries as Fauci documented phone calls, text exchanges and dinners at the Tappers' Washington home amid their growing friendship.
Fauci wrote that Tapper privately checked to make sure a CNN interview hadn't caused problems with the White House. When The Atlantic's Peter Nicholas suggested Fauci had been "humiliated" over a canceled Tapper interview, Fauci fired back in his diary: "F--- you, Peter."
After Fauci's heated exchange with GOP Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan in April 2021, Fauci wrote that CNN's Dana Bash texted him, telling him he was "a better man" and relaying that fellow CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer had joked no one would have blamed Fauci if he had told Jordan to "go f--- yourself."

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume took notice of the media blackout.
"This is not getting the coverage it deserves," Hume wrote on X. "Is that because so many media luminaries were so chummy with the man at the center of a major medical controversy?"
ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. MS NOW declined comment.

Tom Elliott
@tomselliott
Anthony Fauci, writing in his diary in March 2020, clearly loving life:
"Big front page article abut me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyoperbole [sic] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson [sic] in the world.
"Countless profiles on me in multiple media. I cannot even read all the things that are written abuyt me since I am so busy....seriously. POTUS seems to be enamored of me even though I am taking the spotlight away from him. We are developing a very unique and interesting relationship. The entire secret service corps is coming over to me and chatting. They let me into the first gate without even checking ID."

The diaries establish far more than Fauci's debilitating, judgment-shredding narcissism.

They also reveal he is a repeat perjurer. He confesses in the diaries to not believing the lies he was telling the public -- and Congress.

KanekoaTheGreat
@KanekoaTheGreat
🚨Fauci's diary says he privately put COVID's fatality rate at 0.2-0.3%. Under oath weeks later, he told Congress it was 10x the flu. The timeline:
Feb 8, 2020 (private diary): case fatality rate "more like 0.2-0.3%."
March 10 (Hannity): "The mortality for this is about 2-2.5%. It's probably lower than that, closer to 1%. But even if it's 1%, it's 10x more lethal than the seasonal flu."
March 11 (Congress, under oath): "The stated fatality rate of this overall... is about 3%. If you count all the cases of asymptomatic infection, that probably brings the mortality down to 1%, which means it's 10x more deadly than the seasonal flu."
March 27 (Daily Show): "The mortality of this is about 10x the flu. It's at least 1%."
He wrote 0.2-0.3% in his journal -- then told the public, over and over, a number 3 to 5 times higher.
@RandPaul

@DrJBhattacharya

@RobertKennedyJr

Senator Rand Paul
@SenRandPaul
2/9 Jan. 26, 2020. Fauci writes in his diary: "Now we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier."
That is January of 2020. The wet market was already off the table in his own private notes.

Senator Rand Paul
@SenRandPaul
3/9 Feb. 1, 2020. The call that produced Proximal Origin. Twelve scientists.
Only 2 concluded it was natural. Per Fauci's own notes, "the rest felt that deliberate insertion was possible."
This was never a 50/50 room.

Senator Rand Paul
@SenRandPaul
9/9 July 12, 2021. Fauci complains about "how many hours we are all wasting" answering letters he calls "fundamentally driven by conspiracy theories" -- from senators he names, including me.
Asking who funded the research is not a conspiracy theory. It's oversight.

Robby Soave
@robbysoave
Privately, in his diaries, Doctor Fauci admitted he no longer believed the wet market was the origin of covid. A week later, he convenes a call with 12 scientists, and only two of them think it's definitely animal spillover.
Publicly, he comes out against lab leak and presses the Proximal Origins paper to find in favor of animal spillover. Seems bad.

Fauci reassured one of the men he was paying off through NIH grants that his grants were safe.... after this guy wrote the "Proximal Origins" paper, falsely claiming covid-19 arose through natural mutation.

Jake Tapper had Fauci as a dinner-guest even as the rest of the country was on lockdown and forbidden from having non-family members over to dinner.

This is not getting the coverage it deserves. Is that because so many media luminaries were so chummy with the man at the center of a major medical controversy? https://t.co/d7uyfeC9gC

Democrats took it to the next level and made sure people were kicked out of the military and their jobs for refusing to test poison posing as medicine. Not because it was proven right, because they had the power to do it. Think about all those people coerced or convinced to take it through sheer force, and lies who now live with the consequences. That’s before we get to a generation of youth who had their education and special events in their lives stolen from them.

Every single Democrat Party member and from group was in on this.

They trampled The Bill of Rights, and looted the government at the same time.

This is the problem with using first person historical records for analysis- bias of the subject. The funny thing is, he did not even commit to the lie in private. He enjoyed the lie, so the lie was the point, which is why he recorded the truth in private. He may not have done that everywhere.

I believe the cruise ship had less than 10 fatalities - carrying the most susceptible age group - and the carrier had 1 fatality ( a chief with some co-morbidity IIRC).

This occurred very early in the crisis and presented a database that a fucking high school student could have worked out. But both were ignored. Because it would have distracted from the Prime Directive - Getting Trump.

Still, it was quite a treat for a man of my stature. I’m a small person who shops off the garden gnome rack at the children’s store. So it was fitting for a man who is smaller than a pile of elephant dung. It also went well with the Chablis and added a pungent sensation to the crudités.

Yours shortly,
Lord Anthony “Foot High” Fauci.

131 This is what he was pardoned for.

Be a shame if I were never really a President, wouldn't it?

Posted by: I Got Diaries, Too! at July 27, 2026 02:44 PM (+5DDj)

132 > So how is Fauci going to handle Wednesday? He can't take the 5th because he was pardoned so what's he going to say?

Normally I would say he's going to pull the, "I don't recall..." trick. But if the idiot really kept a diary and the diary says what they claim, I don't know what he'll say.

"I wasn't under oath when I wrote that. I was lying to my personal diary because I'm a psychopath." Just doesn't seem like a workable argument.

Of course his lawyers will do everything to make sure the diary gets excluded and/or has provenance issues.

Funny you should ask. Several have tried to sort that out, but actual reliable data seems to be...a bit hard to come by.

139 Not to throw a wet blanket on this but if no one gets arrested the FNM/LIVs won't care about any of this.

Yes the LIVs know COVID was kind of fake and that's why they passed on MPV and Hantavirus vaxxes but this isn't going to go anywhere without a prosecution.

And you know what? Arrest Fauci for creating COVID and even if the courts protect him due to Biden's pardon the LIVs WILL notice.

141 Supposing Fauci actually shows up for any sort of Congressional horseshit hearing, what's he going to say?

I mean, seriously, he's totally untouchable at this point and Congress has zero influence on what happens to Fauci next week or next year. Plus he's got a security team around him 24X7. It'd take some serious pull to have him wrapped up.

But this guy kept a diary where he is basically admitting to, at the least, a cover up of the origins of a disease that killed millions, a brand new disease he helped pay to invent and may not have existed without the NAID and his insistence on keeping Gain-of-Function research going.
He also lied to Congress.

149 Ryan Grim spouting nonsense about Fauci
"Fauci should still be prosecuted for this deception. In his diary in January 2020, he says that the wet market was a super spreader but not the origin — yet publicly he claimed exactly the opposite.

Tens of millions died and world history was upended. And not a single lesson learned except some wrong ones."

Why is Grim in this instance trying to placate to conspiracy nut jobs?

Fauci had a penchant for telling "noble lies" (things that he didn't believe but that he thought others needed to believe "for their own good.") This behavior eviscerated public trust during the pandemic.

Regarding mistrust: Fauci (who is a republican) absolutely was a cause of mistrust. The mask thing was obvious because I think he admitted to it pretty quickly. He also admitted to playing around with the definition of "herd immunity."

People don’t even know what crime they want Fauci arrested for. Deception is not a crime, if it was President Trump would be in jail.

Jesus who even gives a shit about Fauci anymore. I love Ryan but he's not immune to dumb takes

I think the COVID-19 virus was created as part of a larger, long-term nefarious plan. It was not supposed to be released. Whatever the long term plan intended to release was to come out much later. COVID escaped from the Wuhan Virology Institute due to typical slovenly and careless Chinese procedures. The lab has Level 4 containment capability (positive pressure space suits etc.), but none of that was in use for this project. Once the CCP realized it escaped they exploited it, and so did political opportunists in the West.

I wonder what the bastards are working on now.

Recall that the director of the Wuhan Institute was thrown off the roof of the institute by "Security" shortly after The Big Virus Emergency started. Why they did that instead of quietly disappearing him has not been explained.

He got away with murder -- literal murder -- his entire life. In the 1980s he repeatedly lied about AIDS and the extreme risks of transmission in the gay sex community.

The AIDS epidemic in the gay sex community could have been avoided or at least minimized if he told the truth. And had it been minimized there, it never would have spread beyond there.

But for purely political purposes -- sound familiar? -- Fauci lied. Many people died because of him.

His pardon only covers federal offenses, not state, and not potential future liability. So he can still plead the fifth.

I don't think he will. Assuming he even shows up, which I think is 50-50 at best, I think he'll go in there and do what he does best: lie his ass off. And he'll have half the country -- Democraps -- still singing his praises.

Similar to Thanksgiving Turdurken?

Other than knowing Fauci is a fraud and evil science schemer, I figured he'd recommend the turdurken, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans and pie be put in a blender together and sipped with a straw under your mask that Thanksgiving.

Altho it was a great excuse not to see some of the in-laws that year! Now they do their own thing, thank goodness!

How much yuan did Fauci receive for his cooperation and instruction? Find that out and off to the gallows! The scarf lady already has her supplies for her own rope. They are going to be judged by God and soon, hopefully. That's about as wicked as I can print and not go to confession.

Same with the massive tent-camp hospital complex erected at staggering expense in Central Park across from Mt Sinai. I drove past that a few times a week. I never saw a single patient there. Not one.

In the beginning, there were a lot of nurses and support staff there. But since no patients were ever there, after a few weeks they abandoned all pretense and the whole thing was a ghost town.

This was at the same time that ass-ranger Allah Pundit at HotAir was hysterically posting blatant lies about how hospitals in NYC were overflowing with dying covid patients.

282 I don't think Fauci's pardon has any validity. It was demonstrated that he harangued Biden's staff for one the last morning of Biden's presidency. Biden was quite likely out of the loop. Pardons are non-delegable. It's question of fact - did Biden know? - and not law.

I don't know, there are some pretty feisty AGs in red states like Missouri and Florida.

I still think the biggest impact will be on people who blindly trusted government and douchebags like Fauci because he was The Science. Seeing Fauci prosecuted and thrown in prison would be immensely satisfying. Creating an environment where more people started seeing that government is not their biggest and bestest buddy might have a bigger long term benefit to all of us.

From what I can gather, a lot of the casualties in NYC were in nursing homes and assisted care. When, apparently, Cuomo could've just sent the recovering patients to the tent hospitals or the cruise ship instead of building full of seniors.

That's when the media had a Cuomo news conference on every day like he was the voice of God, while blaming it all on Trump.

Remember when some nuns got blood transfusions of blood taken from AIDS-infected homosexuals, and the media was gleeful, trumpeting, "See? EVEN NUNS CAN GET IT! It's not just a gay thing!"

Fauci had his fingerprints all over that, too.

Ah, but like the first night of the lockdown, CBS 60 minutes (I think) showed lines into the street of people trying to get into the emergency room.

And then no lines, and the knowitalls shrieking "YOU CAN'T TELL THE BUSYNESS OF AN ER FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!" as if CBS hadn't done exactly that (probably staged) the night before.

361 I flew to Europe in March 2020.

There were 7 passengers...in a Boeing 747.

5 of those passengers were in first class, so I couldn't even see them.

I basically had the entire plane to myself. It was glorious. Stewardesses jut gave me free drinks, free anything -- they were bored and had nothing to do.

However, when I landed at Heathrow, the Customs and Immigration people were very suspicious.

"Why are you traveling?"

Maryland Man Goes on Stabbing Spree in Paris, Saying Allah Sent Him to Kill Women

The police say that you should ignore his self-stated motive. It doesn't matter that he says Allah sent him to kill women. The man, you see, is "crazy."

And you know No True Islamist can be crazy. Just like all failed communist states are dismissed. No True Communist State would ever send its citizens to the gulag for complaining about a lack of bread!

So this is how they keep removing leftists and trans extremists and Islamists from the terrorist lists -- they just say the killer is "mentally unstable" so (say it with me) The Motive May Never Be Known.

Three people, reportedly including a pregnant woman, were injured on Monday morning in Paris after a man went on a stabbing spree in the French capital.
...
Despite the attacker reportedly claiming that he was motivated by "Allah", the case is not currently being treated as a terror incident. A source close to the investigation told Le Parisien: "The guy said Allah sent me to kill women. But no, he's crazy."
The original story continues as follows...
According to a report from the Parisien newspaper, three women were attacked in the street by a knifeman near the Porte de Clichy metro station in northern Paris on Monday. The paper asserted that one of the three victims was pregnant at the time of the attack.
A separate report from Le Figaro stated that two of the victims are currently in critical condition, while the third is in serious condition.
"They were taken care of by emergency services and transported to the hospital," a Paris police prefecture spokesman stated.
Le Figaro said that an off-duty police officer had witnessed a man with two knives attacking a pedestrian. He is said to have called for backup and eventually apprehended the suspect.
The paper cited footage circulating on social media, which appeared to show the suspected knifeman being held down by multiple people. In the video, he is reportedly heard saying: "Allah commanded me".
...
Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said that he is remaining "very cautious about the motive of this violent act," claiming that the suspect was heard "uttering incoherent statements".

This follows a weekend in which another Maryland Man, "Abdul B.," rammed a vehicle into a "pride" parade in Berlin.

This particular Maryland Man was well known to authorities as a terrorist who had joined ISIS.

But they let him out on the streets anyway.

He's an anchor baby.

The suspect in the terror attack, which struck the Berlin Pride Parade on Saturday evening, has been identified as 21-year-old 'Abdul B.', who was previously detained in Germany on terror offences, reportedly including the support of the so-called Islamic State.
UPDATE 13:40: German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Sunday morning that at least one person was killed and 29 people were injured, some seriously, in what he said is believed to have been an "Islamist terror attack" at the Berlin Pride Parade on Saturday evening. Dobrindt said the suspect was born in Germany but is of Lebanese descent, with his mother naturalised in the country in 2002. He also confirmed that the alleged terrorist had also attacked revellers with a bladed weapon, thought to be a machete. The manhunt continues.
The original story continues as follows...
Tragedy struck the annual Christopher Street Day event in the German capital, one of the largest LGBTQ pride parades in Europe, with a white van being driven into a crowd in the Tiergarten area of the city at around 10 pm, leaving at least one dead and 29 injured.
Berlin Police identified "Abdul B." as their main suspect, releasing a picture of the 21-year-old as they conduct a large-scale manhunt. The force said that there may be more suspects yet to be identified. A spokesman earlier revealed that the suspect was known to police as an "Islamist".
...

German paper of record Die Welt reported that Abdul was previously identified as a threat by police and had been in juvenile detention as recently as May for having attempted to incite or threaten a terror attack. He was also said to have claimed to have contacts with the ISIS terror network.
After being released in May, Abdul was reportedly put on probation and was instructed to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions, the third of which was scheduled for Monday.

You brought social workers to a terror-fight.

While it is yet to be confirmed that he was a supporter of the so-called Islamic State, Die Welt noted that the U.S. State Department had specifically warned in 2024 that ISIS had called on supporters to attack Pride events in Europe.

Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼
@DrewPavlou
Guys, the details of the latest jihadist attack in Europe are psychotic.
Abdul Ballout was born in Berlin, but he left Germany for Lebanon.
Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks.
He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served.
By July 2026 he was back on the streets.
German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions.
He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade.

As Fox Butterworth would say: Despite the indulgence of socialist governments for crime and terror, socialist states and cities keep experiencing high rates of crime and terror.

Three people were killed and four were wounded Sunday evening during a shooting at a food festival at the Seattle Center, a short distance from the city's iconic Space Needle, police said.
One of the wounded was a 2-year-old toddler, and police said they believed the incident began when two parties began shooting at each other.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson announced one person was taken into custody, while Seattle Assistant Police Chief Tyrone Davis said at least one other suspect remained at large.
"There may be more," Davis said, according to the Seattle Times. "We're still trying to figure this out."

It takes an intellectual to summon the mental discipline to remain permanently blind to blood-soaked reality.

47 Leftists want Muslims to destabilize our society.

To actually figure out that Muslims are doing this, we could take pragmatic steps to reign this in. The Constitution is not a "suicide pact", after all. And the pragmatics could take pragmatic steps.

The left and Muslims are trying to topple our base of power. Both groups feel that they are using the other as a tool to catch the reins of power as they fall.

Hence the left cannot have you blunting the effectiveness of Muslim radicalism, by taking pragmatic steps.

51 I have to give them credit. The muslims play "Smear the Queer" to win.

What the muslims need is mandatory Drag Queen story hours each weekend in the mosques. They can learn how Mommies can have a penis and watch some guy in a dress with a beard playfully bounce their young children on their laps. That should fix their hate of gays.

Then we can work on the islamic hatred of Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrianists, atheists, dogs, music, alcohol, anything and everyone not muslim both in the past and in the future.

Problem solved.

As a gay man, the hatred towards LGBTQ just makes me endlessly depressed. I used to believe we were progressing but lately I’ve come to believe we’re actually regressing.

I know Muslims in America who voted for Trump because they fly into a homicidal rage whenever they see a rainbow flag, then acted all surprised when he talked about turning Gaza into one of his stupid resorts once his genocidal buddies have killed everyone inside.

On the lgbt sub someone made a thread on how we shouldn't be hard on muslims after the incident. A person died and many were severely injured, yet some queer people put muslims' feelings above LGBT people's lives and rights!

If a Christian extremist attacked 29 people, we don’t then go and attack Christians This attack has nothing to do with Islam and everything to do with extremism. It is logical to want to protect another marginalised group, Muslims, who are not responsible for the attack but will be branded with blame. Queerness is political and looks like protection and advocacy for those groups.

The worst is over, but I'm still clogged with mucus and my right ear is still blocked. Perhaps by the end of the week, I'll be back to normal. Thank you for asking.

And I do have things to occupy my time. I owe CBD a Sunday Book Thread, I have my novel to edit and my Kino Lorber package came today, so I have movies to watch when I need a break.

Say, what is the etymology of 'lum'? For that matter, 'nood'? I made one up in my head for the latter (portmanphonic of new + thread), but it could be wrong.
Posted by: SciVo at July 27, 2026 01:38 PM (Sy6m/)

Nood is what some used to declare a new thread has been posted. Meaning New, but because boobs, nood was used (complete guess on my part).

I started using the NOODlum call when it was being discussed as to how Muldoon came up with his nick and someone said "it could be because it's noodlum spelled backwards."

I've been using NOODlum ever since.

74 If a Christian extremist attacked 29 people, we don’t then go and attack Christians This attack has nothing to do with Islam and everything to do with extremism. It is logical to want to protect another marginalised group, Muslims, who are not responsible for the attack but will be branded with blame. Queerness is political and looks like protection and advocacy for those groups.

I think you're probably right, but if you wonder why it's happening, you need only look in the mirror. Most people were at the point of saying "just don't shove it in my face, and we're cool", but that wasn't enough for the militants. Now comes the backlash. The loons have been driving the zeitgeist for the last decade or so, and the vast majority of gays have been unwilling to condemn them. No, it's not fair, but it's human nature.

Of course, you're going to want to pace yourself. So, be selective in such a way, "No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter." And finally, always be aware of your surroundings, "What's it going to be then, eh?"

137 You know, with Fauci, I am on thin ice theologically. There were times in the Old Testament when God would harden someone's heart so he could make an example of them, so there's a precedent. But then, Jesus came along and used the parable of the prodigal son to explain that He wants everyone to come back to Him, so He came especially for the worst, who need the most help.

This means it's unworthy to pray for Fauci's heart to calcify in prideful unrepentance, so that he will go to Hell. But then, the same parable shows that Jesus understands full well that we will have problems with bad people getting good with God at the last minute. It's His way, not ours.

But there's no such conflict in my mind with Muslims. You will know a believer by his fruits, so I think that Allah is an alias of Satan, they are devout Devil-worshippers, and they will confidently join the Father of Lies in Hell, without my having to pray for it.

In contrast, although I think LDS theology is nuts, there is no denying the fruit it produces is sweet. I expect to see my relatives on that side of the family in Heaven, albeit with some good-natured ribbing. (We'll see who is joshing whom.)

To actually figure out that Muslims are doing this, we could take pragmatic steps to reign this in. The Constitution is not a "suicide pact", after all. And the pragmatics could take pragmatic steps.

The left and Muslims are trying to topple our base of power. Both groups feel that they are using the other as a tool to catch the reins of power as they fall.

Hence the left cannot have you blunting the effectiveness of Muslim radicalism, by taking pragmatic steps.

The response, I think, would be to line up Reliance of the Traveler on one side, and Shulhan Aruch (I'm sure I'm misspelling it) on the other. These are the same genre of book: halacha-on-the-go, in case the travelling believer ends up in a strange city.
Reliance of the Traveler used to be a frequent topic on Jihadwatch for its death-to-the-apostate, curse-on-the-Jews, war-on-the-infidel summaries of the Hadith.
I don't think we see this in the Shulhan Aruch.

This right here. It is excruciating to realize after some years usually, that one has been completely wrong about a great many things.

Reasonably decent and intelligent people want to hold a coherent world view that makes sense. I’ve seen the results of a dawning awareness when attempted to set people to thinking for themselves, or hey, there are different perspectives here, different opinions that are certainly valid and not based on hatred or bigotry or greed or some ulterior purpose etc etc.

They don’t like this, at all. This is also incidentally why they will get furious at YOU for pointing this out, not the actual perpetrators. It’s like an unexplored portion of the map in their mind “Here there Be Dragons”

This is like comparing a gun used by a mass shooter to a gun used for self defense or policing.

Jews are taught to question, think, argue, and examine everything. To understand and strive for what is best. If a Jew shoots up a parade, we can rightfully conclude that he did something wrong, and if he justifies by some text, we can conclude he used the tool improperly.

muslims are taught to obey. When they shoot shit up they are ***rewarded*** here on Earth with respect and acclaim among other muzzies (often quietly), and they are promised reward after death. They used the tool exactly as it was designed. They are told that their book is perfect and complete!

American liberalism, with some of its roots in Owen's social theory, carries with it the idea that we have to fix society's problems with charity or at the very worst, counseling.

I think it's worthwhile considering another motivation for saying the motive can't be determined. And that's because they don't see a "solution" for people radicalized to Islam.

But it's not like they can give up their "We can fix this" "Solutions"-oriented worldview. So, it's just an individual break at a time.

To be fixed only when ~~Jesus comes~~they fix all of society's problems at once..

There used to be signs in Glacier National Park "Gone by 2020" which referenced the glaciers themselves. They have been taken down and replaced with signs that give an indeterminate date for when they will disappear.

If Trump would grant me one administrative wish, I would want the "Gone By 2020" signs back up and kept up.

273 I'm kind of curious how long it will take before these self-proclaimed Communists start up the ole' death squad groups again. The "Revolutionary Organization 17 November" is a good example of a Greek Marxist–Leninist urban guerrilla organization. Killed a couple of Americans, and lots of other people in high positions. They operated back in the mid to late 70's.

That's just one example. There were many of these types groups carrying out assassinations and bombings. Some in the US.

It's destined to happen again. Right now, it's a few singular attacks here. A few there. But, I can't help thinking a resurgence of organized hit squads will be returning shortly. You may wonder why they threw the book at that group down in Texas attacking the ICE facility. I think some people in government actually understand we are on the precipe of a replay of the 70's, and needed to send a message with the sentences imposed.

This summer, however, I feel the defeat and said that I don't even care if they die.

He wandered back (it's a big house) and said I was right, he looked it up, and they don't like pruning in hot weather.

Why wouldn't they then rationally use terror to stop the LGBTQ stuff?

And I saw a video where British cops made a woman stop walking her dog on the street because there was a nearby Muslim rally so this stuff is working.

But modern western governments are completely onboard with Big Gay so that is the one thing they won't stop.

So one of three things will happen:

1) A right leaning government will send the Muslims home

2) A right leaning government will stop public homosexuality

3) Muslims kill so many leftists that the leftists relent and stop public homosexuality

Since the elections in Europe are mostly fixed options 1/2 won't happen. So expect a log more stabbings...

Waah: Leftists, "Journalists" (But I Repeat Myself) Cry and Seethe Over Trump's Suggestion that CNN's Kaitlin Collins Sorta Looks Like a Transgender Witch

Well he didn't say "witch." I'm adding that.

Dylan Mulvaney Responds After Trump Mocks Her and CNN's Kaitlan Collins at White House Correspondents' Dinner

"To the president, thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew," she said in a video posted to social media.

Oh, snup.

A snup is a failed "snap."

Transgender advocate and actress Dylan Mulvaney has responded to President Donald Trump after the latter mocked both her and CNN's Kaitlan Collins during his speech at the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner on Friday night.
At the event, which had been postponed from April after a gunman fired shots as the first dinner was under way, Trump gave a speech wherein he compared the two women after Collins accepted an award for her working covering the administration.

I completely forgot this was still going on and I had no idea it was going on this past weekend.

"I want to personally congratulate CNN's Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award," Trump said. "It was all about me. It's a fake -- she shouldn't get the award, it was a fake. But I didn't mind. I said, 'Kaitlan, congratulations.' But it was fake, there's no question about it."
After criticizing Collins for her facial expressions, Trump then compared her to Mulvaney, mentioning the 2023 controversy surrounding the latter's Bud Light commercial. Three years ago, Mulvaney made an ad for Bud Light that was met with criticism from conservatives who launched a boycott against the beer brand, leading to a decline in sales.
"I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn't her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney," Trump said Friday. "Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made by the way, for those few people who want to hear that. Most people don't care, but I would. I wouldn't want to hire Dylan any time soon."

Trump posted this photoshop to prove his point:

He roasted the media generally.

"The attempted mass murder at the Washington Hilton-that's what it could have been-was an assault on our democracy itself," Trump said. "A very serious situation. Many of you were there with me, and some showed extreme bravery, like Pete Hegseth, Steve Miller, Tom Holman. Really, they were standing on tables. And most of you were under the table," he said to Friday night's attendees, which got some laughs.

The media remained stone-silent and barely laughed at any of Trump's jokes.

Even the president was critical of some of the jokes when they received no laughs. At one point, he referred to the "governor of Chicago," presumably billionaire Gov. of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, while discussing a staged fight among politicians.

"I would say I could mention the governor of Chicago, but I'm going to mention instead Jerry Nadler, and they're fighting for a big piece of cheesecake, big fat piece of cheesecake," he said to zero audible laughs. "Who the hell wrote that line?"

In fairness, a lot of these aren't ha-ha jokes. They're really just insults delivered in a faux-jocular way. I understand that -- it's hard to be funny about people you actually hate. The media leftists hate Trump, and Trump, understandably, hates them back.

None of their "jokes" about Trump are funny either. Just insults.

Following mentions of late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, whom he called talentless, Trump also admitted that he truly hates some people.

"They thought about going with a professional clown for entertainment, but Adam 'Shifty' Schiff was not available," Trump joked. "You know he's known -- I hate some people. You know, I shouldn't say the surprise. I'm not supposed to hate him. I'm supposed to love everybody, but he's a terrible person. He's a liar, and I called him watermelon head because he has the largest head I've ever seen with the smallest neck, pencil neck. How does that big fat ugly head stand on a on a little pencil, pencil, pencil neck?"

That's not really a joke. That's just reality.

Menstrual manlet Jim Acosta was, get this, outraged.

This dinner is a disgrace. Trump's rambling, unhinged speech is full of hate and spite. Just spewing nastiness at his usual targets. Let's not sanitize how truly ugly it was. This would be a great moment for members of the press to get up and walk out.

The ultimate troll was Trump's announcement that he's running for president again in 2028:

One problem with Trump's jokes and speeches in general is that he hates just reading prepared material. His "compromise" for reading a speech, or reading a prepared joke, is to read one line of the pre-written material, then add in two or three sentences of improvised riffs between each line. This is what makes his SOTU addresses so long and, frankly, meandering. It also hurts a joke when you riff two or three lines unrelated to the joke between the set-up and punchline. It separates the two things you're trying to connect in the joke.

That said: I like showing disrespect to people who are thoroughly disreputable, despicable, and whore-ish. Funniness is beside the main point.

How was your weekend?

Soooo...like you at question time at the WH press briefings, only, you know, more eloquent- and manly?

Posted by: Archimedes at July 27, 2026 12:14 PM (Riz8t)

9 "The attempted mass murder at the Washington Hilton-that's what it could have been-was an assault on our democracy itself," Trump said. "A very serious situation. Many of you were there with me, and some showed extreme bravery, like Pete Hegseth, Steve Miller, Tom Holman. Really, they were standing on tables. And most of you were under the table," he said to Friday night's attendees, which got some laughs.

Good shit there.

11 Sally Quinn, in the New York Times, laments the decline of the Uniparty:

The worst part about living in Donald Trump’s Washington has been seeing just how much fun he and all the MAGA vandals he brought to power have been having sacking and pillaging the place. This while the rest of us longtime Washingtonians who abided by norms, shared values and even bipartisanship were filled first with shock, then a feeling of helplessness, and hopelessness. It could border on passivity. What could be done?

Will no one think of the "longtime Washingtonians"?

Much like how movies have to have a gay and black actor to qualify for Oscars. Doesn’t matter how big the part is as long as they have a few lines it’s good. See Odyssey as Exhibit A.

I don't think he's had any work done at all. No hormones, nothing. He's an actor, a performer. His earlier gimmick was to cosplay as a ridiculously flamboyant gay man.

When that didn't get him the notoriety he was desperate for, he got the idea to "trans" during covid. But it was more cosplay aimed at young teen girls.

Currently the news stories say he was born in Germany to Lebanese Muslim parents.

The jihadi had flown from Germany to Lebanon to try to join ISIS. The Lebanese arrested him. When he flew back to German a few months later (I assume the German made the Lebanese release him) the Germans...put him on probation.

And then he went out and attacked the German pride rally.

If the German government is going to let ISIS folks roam the country what the hell do they think is going to happen?

138 Advocate.com: Trump hijacks White House Correspondents’ Dinner redo with antigay jabs, anti-trans mockery & lies
The president insulted Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Dylan Mulvaney while rambling from TikTok views to a White House “drone port.”

Constantly attacking transgender people, now they're just doing the entire LGBTQIA+ All that's doing is spotlighting & showing the world why bullies & fascism both how they operate, & why they never last.

The point of attacking trans people was *always* to pivot to attacking the rest. Rowling has recently broadened her attacks to include cis gay people as well. Now that they've successfully built up momentum, they're moving to expand that rollback of rights and human decency to include more targets.

Part of the point of attacking transfolk is also because their mere existence invalidates all of the "traditional gender role" bullshit that their fascist ideology depends on.

Trump's offensive, incoherent speech was his normal demented self. He gave the same stump speech to thousands of boy scouts at their Jamboree event. When conservatives say Harris spoke word salad, I always point to that in comparison

196 "Transgender advocate and actress Dylan Mulvaney..."

actress
/ˈaktrəs/
An actress is a female person who acts in a play, movie, or television show
Female performer: A woman or girl whose job or role is playing a character in art or entertainment.

_____________________________

Ok, the pronoun thing was an annoyance. But, digging into and shaping the actual language seems a bit much.

The word "actor" is, for the most part applied to both males and females in the profession. The fact that they used "actress" is a bias in and of itself.

Posted by: Chaos

He skipped most of them but Trump never does anything for a whim. This was directed exactly at the main stream media for his peeps, not for laughs, but to hearten his coalition for the upcoming elections. Attacking the Democratic propagandists in the Main Stream Media unites the right (see above on the 8 percent media trust among republicans and helps with independents 17 percent trust).

Trump is an infighter and when he senses weakness--he keeps punching that area repeatedly. And that weakens the Democrat op attacks because his coalition simply rolls their eyes and say whatever. Prior GOP presidents named Bush simply took it up the ass.

The story my widows like is he adopted a child after years of no children.

Then his wife gets pregnant. She is late for delivery, which he handled well.

After the baby was born, the fittest guy I ever knew, with absolutely no quit in him, dragged his sorry ass to work with dark circles under his eyes. For 7 weeks.

Because those institutional investors vested in stupid DEI shit did not want her departure to be blamed on that DEI shit. So she is leaving to pursue other opportunities to ruin other companies. I suggest she goes to Panera to ruin it further into bankruptcy.

259 Yes, those 49% in the Dem coalition don't trust the media because they think it is too conservative because they are run by corporations. They prefer fake news from their ProPublica, NPR, and PBS because those are non-profit.

'Zactly.

It's the same thing as who in Congress the various sides trust when "9% trust Congress". Progs don't trust anything coming out of a Republican Congress, but we trust that only slightly more, part of the time.

If I had to guess, "Conservative Independents" (CIs) probably are more consistent in their distrust of Congress, and DC in general.

Good catch. “Actress” is ordinarily a long banned word by the usual suspects.

Somebody missed a golden opportunity when Feinstein got her panties in a twist about being called “Ma’am”. “It’s Senator” she claimed.

The worst part about living in Donald Trump’s Washington has been seeing just how much fun he and all the MAGA vandals he brought to power have been having sacking and pillaging the place. This while the rest of us longtime Washingtonians who abided by norms, shared values and even bipartisanship were filled first with shock, then a feeling of helplessness, and hopelessness. It could border on passivity. What could be done?

Will no one think of the "longtime Washingtonians"?

They lose the billions in USAID money (most of which was spent within the Beltway), and have to put up with "MAGA vandals" on top of that.

The thing is that when John Hopkins started doing all this "gender therapy" stuff, they weren't trying to state truth, they were mainly trying to argue about how to make this patient's life as relatively happy as they could.

And because "scientists" had made the decision, it somehow made it incumbent upon us to confer it with an effect that was never the point.

It was never meant to be "true". It was just meant to be "effective" in "saving the life" of a gender dysphoric.

I really think this falls under Eisenhower's farewell address, from which the progs only hear "Military-industrial complex", and not "Expert takeover of representative government".

This was not a comedy gig but another Trump operation to humiliate and discredit a dishonest Democrat media. And it was aimed not at ticking funnybones but at insulting the press under the guise of 'jokes' just like the left is always 'joking' about killing those of us on the right as h8rs.

Trump went there on purpose to cause a stink which wakes up complacent types to remind them that they hate the media too, it is not designed to appeal to Democrats as that bipartisan ship sailed in Trump's first term. It is intended directly as humiliating and lowering the main stream media by insulting them. The fact that the media had to sit there and take it due to social norms does not vitiate the insults' effects on the normally somnolent indy middle and reinvigorates his peeps on the right.

THE MORNING RANT: As Bombshell Fauci Docs Drop, Faux-Conservative Media Indignantly Covers Story It Suppressed in 2020

The best time to be skeptical of an “expert” stating there’s an emergency requiring the suspension of your freedom is the moment he states his intent to deny you liberty.

The type of conservatives who read this blog were highly skeptical of Anthony Fauci from day one, as was much of the new conservative media. However, the legacy (formerly?) conservative media could not lick Anthony Fauci’s boots hard enough in Spring of 2020.

Over this past weekend, major news broke, with many of Anthony Fauci’s personal notes from early 2020 being released. They revealed that before the March 2020 lockdowns, Fauci had already acknowledged that the wet markets were not the source of the Covid virus. The release also reveals extensive collaboration between Fauci and media personalities on how to shape the message and counter critics. There will be extensive coverage here and elsewhere of these bombshell revelations from better investigative writers than me, so sit tight.

In this quick post, I just want to point out that the same faux-conservative media that cooed over Anthony Fauci - and criticized you and me for doubting him - are now doing very serious journalism about these important stories they tried to suppress six years ago.

Here is a 2020 National Review piece from Andrew McCarthy published about six weeks into the two-week lockdown, in which he condemns some House Republicans for daring to criticize McCarthy’s lord and savior, Anthony Fauci.

“House Conservatives Who Attacked Dr. Fauci Should Know Better” [National Review – 4/15/2020]

As we’ve all heard over the past month, Dr. Fauci has worked long hours through seven-day weeks trying to save American lives. He also has made countless statements in scores of interviews and White House Task Force press conferences. Consistently, he has been a model of empathy. Again and again, he has agonized over the excruciating choice that government officials have no choice but to make: The choice between the well-being of (a) those sick from, dying of, and vulnerable to a potentially lethal infectious disease, and (b) those whose financial, emotional, and physical well-being are being shattered by the shutdown. It has worn on him, like it would wear on any of us.

As Fauci’s web of lies became ever more tangled, it became harder for Fauci’s “conservative” fanboys to justify their worshipful swooning. But Fauci was working to take out President Trump, so the NeverTrump media remained loyal to him, working to keep him propped up until Trump was gone.

By late July 2020, over four months into the two-week lockdown, Fauci’s popularity was eroding. He was seen in public violating his own lockdown protocols, while also posing in glamour shots for celebrity magazines. Jim Geraghty rushed to protect Fauci in a piece that gently chided Fauci’s PR mistakes (“unforced errors” while also slobbering all over Fauci.

Before we go any further, let me begin by saying I believe Dr. Anthony Fauci is an exceptional doctor and public-health expert who is doing the best he can in extremely challenging circumstances. I think most of his judgments during this pandemic have been either correct or a reasonable assessment based upon what was known at the time.

In a tweet yesterday, this same Jim Geraghty is now snarking at Fauci:

“Dr. Anthony Fauci, in his private notes, January 2020: ‘Now we know the Market Was Not the Source, It Was the Amplifier.’
Funny, I don’t remember him emphasizing or even mentioning that point throughout the entire pandemic and aftermath…”

It does not matter that National Review’s coverage of Covid and Fauci became more critical by 2021 (once Trump was successfully dispatched in the 2020 election.) National Review was as reverent about Fauci in early 2020 as any legacy left-wing media source.

Regarding the latest Fauci revelations, National Review and its writers ought to simply abstain from discussing or covering the story altogether, unless it’s an apology for their lack of critical coverage when it could have made a difference in 2020. They also deserve mockery for any efforts to now critically cover the events of 2020.

Fauci was always the villain. It's regrettable that you and @NRO spent so much time defending him and condemning Fauci's right-wing critics. pic.twitter.com/8DK1ty7t8L

It was always about forced compliance with unpopular mandates. And the judiciary was, and is, squarely on the left's side.

Again, a pardon on past deeds does not cover the future. And he can't plead the 5th either.

He might not show but all he will do is increase the focus on his past actions and he can always be subpoenaed to appear. And if he blows that off he can be arrested.

The reason Paul released this stuff on X is because the media, who is as culpable as him, would have just buried it. Too late for that now. It's all over social media.

This was the day in which Trump realized that the presidency had been completely stolen from him:

“After the presser (about 1 hour) Deb Birx texted and then called me saying it was good that I was not there since after the presser, the POTUS called her into the Oval and started yelling at her saying 'You and Fauci have destroyed the country and the economy. I should never have listened to you. You have completely destroyed us.' He kept saying this over and over again and was yelling at her. I encouraged her that we are OK and at the end of the day she and I will be loved by the people we care about. She was relieved and after wrote me a text sincerely thanking me.”

I think our natsec view after WWII is that information (and people) needed to be controlled. CIA peeps like William Colby bragged about it in their CIA approved memoirs--Colby was involved in the 50's with keeping Italy from Communism so he discusses in various ways how the CIA did that there which is a blueprint for how they did it here.

Brits had this mindset even longer and were quite skilled in black and white propaganda and cultivated close ties with promising leaders in various fields.

Project Mockingbird files plus the files in the JFK assassination show that the natsec establishment has a bunch of paid influencers as assets (not formal agents) but paid in one way or another by career advancement, direct or indirect subsidy, or even political careers.

Jurisdiction happens where the offence happened, not necessarily DC as we see in the Mar a Lago investigation. And it can be massaged quite a bit.

Plus the fun fact that due to his pardon, he cannot refuse to testify before Congress. The charming thing is due to Palko v. CT, parallel charges in any state affected by his decisions can occur in state courts. Presidential pardons do not cover those.

Bad things can happen to Fraudulent Fauci, it is just that so far, we have not chosen to do so primarily, I think, due to his knowledge of how the intel community spent the last 30 plus years financing all sorts of ghastly experiments in foreign and domestic labs, in contravention of the Chemical and Biological Warfare treaty, for supposedly 'defensive' purposes.

And this was again confirmed years later when the Ebola nurse came back to the US under Biden.

But then a few years later the government claimed the right to execute lock downs and considered concentration camps for anyone refusing the clot shot which goes way beyond any notion of quarantine

176 It's not at all clear what Fauchi was pardoned for so, why don't we, you know, charge him for his manifest crimes and let the chips fall where they may.

Yep.

There are two potential outcomes both good.

1) The courts dismiss the idea of "whatever he actually did pardons" and Fauci goes to jail

2) The courts hold up Fauci's "whatever he actually did pardons" and we get to point out the only reason Fauci isn't in jail for COVID is because Biden pardoned him AND Trump gets to issue his own "whatever he actually did pardons" at the end of his term

Overall it was the general policies of shut downs, and denial of "alternative effective meds" (to deadly ventilators or Remdesivir) , and denial of "informed consent" that made Fauci so evil.

I'm not clear what policy changes would have made a difference for those like Oregon Muse, and I don't know his details. The fake vax itself was often deadly in many ways, including the "side effect" of giving people Covid.

I'm still thinking Fauci is subject to state prosecutions, and/or civil liabilities.

193 It just hit me this morning: I'm probably rather late to this observation, but next time somebody says that "roads are socialism" tell them that they are creating a false dichotomy out of "socialism".

Providing roads to everyone has nothing to do with the ownership of all means of production OR Owen's idea of fixing all of society all at once. (Owen is the original source of the term "socialism")

It is not the case that a society either is intent on fixing society first as a means of fixing all social problems (which Owen "resolved" by creating communes for normies to live off his wealth in the 1820s) or that the government owns the "means of production" OR we don't have government services.

All they are saying is that you have to draw a line somewhere. And duh, yeah. That's exactly what we non-socialists are saying.

But funding the development of the virus, releasing it purposely (IMO), shutting down pretty much the entire world, countless deaths from the virus and as well as undiagnosed medical issues, an inoculation that was worse than the virus impacting the health of millions, family separations, lack of visitation or funeral arrangements, lockdowns, facemasks, lack of schooling, on and on.

The answer is we don't know and the scientists themselves cannot be entrusted to tell the truth either, Fauci is a perfect example of that mindset.

And corporations inevitably take over the regulatory establishment in order to keep the profits flowing and the lawsuits at bay.

EVERYTHING has cost benefit analysis and one of the buggers in that is estimating future costs from whatever 'new' technology exists--for example, will the genetic modification actually cause future deaths while perhaps 'saving' those today. We ignore the future (look at our federal debt) and weight the present far too much.

There is a reason that medical trials of new drugs are expensive and run for years. It is to try to find out the known unknowns. The truth is we as humans are not that smart with our tools as we think. It is not to dismiss GMO totally but a really hard look at the benefits versus the risk.

Even reading the things we're finding today from Fauci's private, contemporaneous writings, will NEVER shake him from his belief that everything Fauci said then was absolute truth, supported by hundreds of scientists who verified and re-verified every statement.

And my mom will functionally never leave the house again.

Blood cancer folks talk all the time about having two options - living life or avoiding death. Living life probably brings about death sooner, but it's the way more desirable and joy-causing way to go, for a disease that's gonna kill you either way.

Maybe try to get your mom slowly in the living life mindset with baby steps (I did that a lot on blood cancer boards, helping folks try something out of the house, just outside and short, and to work their way up back to real life)...

yeah, and when the random mutation occurred, it happened to all the DNA, so maybe they got a more red tomato, but they don't know how many other DNA strands were effected in harmful (but less noticeable) ways.

iirc, "RoundUp" (glyphosate) was designed to mimic an "organic" herbicide (I forget which) so it would be more acceptable. But they used it (and depended on it) so much that "nature" figured it out after a few years, and some weeds now just laugh at it.

FWIW, there are a whole host of syndromes that are apparently caused by modern living and medicine does not 'know' exactly how genes get turned on and off and by what. Food allergies for example, affect on fertility, cancers, obesity, malnutrition, and so on.

So what is the effect on a tomato that has a gene inserted by CRISPR to allow certain chemicals to be used around it like Roundup. Answer, we might know in 20-50 years, maybe not then.

Look up ultra vires doctrine that removes such protections. If a person uses a government office to commit criminal actions knowingly, that person can and often is held guilty and the shield of sovereign immunity does not cover criminal nor civil liability.

Sovereign immunity derived from medieval courts where the king, as fount of all laws, could not be accused himself of lawbreaking nor civilly liable. But, the king's agents could and were if they exceeded what authority the king granted them.

279 What GMO food has done that? Since I have a choice I eat non GMO but I haven't seen any proof it's killing people like mRNA vaccines.

On a case by case basis, GMO foods are often superior to heritage foods, if not by one metric alone:

Some nutrition is better than no nutrition. And you get no nutrition when you don't have enough produce to meet demand.

People whine about GMO not being as nutritious as their grand parents food. But their food depleted soils, used too much water, was prone to drought, floods, insects, hail storms and weeds.

Golden Rice is a superior to heritage in that not only does it maintain the same nutrient level as heritage, but also is modified to produce beta-carotene which the body converts into Vitamin A which some "at risk" populations are naturally deficient in.

And yours is similar propaganda using rhetoric of something you do not personally know--the answer is that countries are sovereign and they get to choose what their people do. And if they choose not to allow GMO food, then it is on that country's government, not me.

Claiming cheap virtue for whatever position you take is a debater's trick to distract emotionally and not a serious argument.

Your premise that 100k will die without GMO is a) not supported by your argument which is probably derived from 'authority', and b) we never know the counter argument from your moral imperative rhetoric. Could it affect local food supply and result in actually less food for people, could it result in other negatives, etc.

"Feeding Africa" for example by Live AID back in the day actually killed a lot more Africans because it cemented a demented Ethiopian dictator Mengistu in power and destroyed local farmers. When Bono and his celebrity ilk went away, they left a mess that got worse than better.

311 Somewhere in SoCal, I think Orange county, a skate park was closed but kids went anyway. So the state/county filled up the park with sand, making it unusable. Then the kids showed up with dirt bikes and used it as a dirt bike track.

That was one of the best fuck you instances.

Why not wait until Fauci has a chance to perjure himself again and then reveal that you already know all of his secrets?

Why let him know what he should not try to lie about?

Sure, this makes for some headlines, but it severely undermines getting a chance to indict Fauci for lying when not protected by the Auto-Pen Amnesty.

34 Sheepwashing
Sir David Wilkie

Like it though not what I pictured a Scottish farm.

National Galleries Organization - About this artwork
This painting was based on sketches that Wilkie made around 1815 during a retreat to the Wiltshire countryside from his permanent home in London. It is believed to show a scene at Fisherton Delamere, near Salisbury. Shortly before the painting was exhibited at the British Institution in 1817, he wrote to the great art patron and amateur landscape painter Sir George Beaumont. Wilkie asserted that although landscape painting was entirely new to him, the picture was done with the sole object of teaching himself how to ‘paint an out-door scene with facility’. Wilkie was a great admirer of seventeenth century Dutch landscapes, and this practical scene of work and nature recalls the paintings of Jacob van Ruisdael and Meindert Hobbema, especially in the inclusion of the water-wheel motif.

82 I like the low horizon line here. It draws more attention to the sheep, which is interesting. The sheep, people, buildings and landscape are all in a similar tone. The sky is the only contrasting color, but the large off-white shape of the sheep herd dominates. It slopes upward from lower left to middle right countering the other static forms and lines in the painting. The herd also replicates the swooping shape of the clouds in the sky.

88 I think I see a wolf hidden there in the herd.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero43) at July 27, 2026 09:49 AM (6/7Fs)

89 82 I like the low horizon line here. It draws more attention to the sheep, which is interesting. The sheep, people, buildings and landscape are all in a similar tone. The sky is the only contrasting color, but the large off-white shape of the sheep herd dominates. It slopes upward from lower left to middle right countering the other static forms and lines in the painting. The herd also replicates the swooping shape of the clouds in the sky.

The man wearing the bright red vest catches your eye immediately. I don't know that poor sheepherders back then could afford such expensive dyes. Interestingly, the British officer class during the American Revolution were easy to target because only they could afford the best red dyes for their uniforms. Seems...unwise.

For some reason there's a blockage in front. Sheepdog jumps up on the back of a sheep and runs the length of the sheep on their backs up to the front to break up the jam. Then runs all the way back. Again, on their backs.

I have noticed a wool blanket is more comfortable and “warmer” than a synthetic blanket for some reason. There’s some synergy going on, or they breathe better, or something.

The military went to synthetic fleece garments for some very good reasons, but what they have found was they pick up a funky BO odor that does not wash out readily at all. Don’t get me started on the scam that is Gore-Tex

One gunman surrendered after being confronted by police, while another shooter was being sought after they fled Seattle Center, which was hosting the Bite of Seattle event, Assistant Seattle Police Chief Tyrone Davis said at a late-night news conference.
"There were two people who we believe were shooting at each other," Davis said.
Seven people had been shot at the civic center complex, which is also home to the city's Space Needle.The three victims who died were a 19-year-old man, a 44-year-old man, and a 56-year-old woman, police said in a statement early Monday morning. Two individuals died at the scene and a third died at the hospital.

I like some the Hudson Bay blankets, though not the classic point blanket. The color scheme looks weird, though I’d take one.

A mayor playing president. A founder playing operator. A content creator playing one-on-one thinking he’s a pro. A 25yr old with a ring light playing economist. Everyone auditioning. Nobody building.
