5 “What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.”

New Jersey becomes Jersey (Isle of Jersey so that one won't be changed until the Muslims find that Isle)

And, the region of New England will become England

Job progress:

It's not going to pay the bills but it will slow the bleed, soon (not quite yet) I will be a substitute teacher (gives me more flexibility for interviews, and probably slightly better pay, than an entry-level retail/fastfood 'hey I moved you to X shift, be here in 10 minutes' or 'I know you're off today but I need you to cover for Silent Bob').

Today's interview was more of a screening call as were the others this week. Praying that:

1) The others 'waiting for client response'/'deciding if we liked your interview *well enough*' get back to me soon....

2) That if any of these is 'the right job', it come through soon....

3) That any of these that are 'not the right job' fall away and, not to put too fine a point on it, say so instead of ghosting me....

4) That if all of these are 'not the right job', the right one show itself aggressively, so I don't miss it!

Again, thanks to the Horde and to the folks at church for prayers and support.

Actually, I'm running for State Rep in CT. My (liberal) brother, on the other hand, is actually running for Congress in NYC.

I just got my numbers from my campaign treasurer a few minutes ago. I'm $1,180 short of my $6,700 money target, and 39 in-district contributors short of my 150 target. If I can reach both by Sunday at midnight, I'll get about $25,000 from the CT State Election Board to finance my campaign against one of the most progressive (a/k/a DSA-adjacent) members of the CT House.

I know that several Morons contributed to my efforts already. I can't thank you 'rons and 'ettes enough. Thanks to Ace and CBD as well, for putting me on the sidebar.

74 Evening, all! We just watched The Sheep Detectives w/ Hugh Jackman, and it was a delight. Funny, even witty dialog, and an actual mystery that works! A thunderbolt solution and even a classic example of pushing a clue right in the audience's face, in this case in the middle of a comic scene. That was a technique John Dickson Carr often used -- while you were laughing at some outlandish scene with Sir Henry Merrivale, Carr slipped in a crucial clue.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays the voice of the lead "detective" sheep, Lily, and Bryan Cranston is a big black loner ram who has seen more of the world than she has. If you listen carefully to Lily's dialog, you can detect JLD's voice, but Cranston is hard to spot.

Good stuff.

Or even better than Lewis' attempt at it (which personally I thought was for kids and not even very smart kids).

Aslan is a male lion, and a proxy for Jesus Christ. The role should not be played by a woman. Period.

It doesn't? What defines the Western Hemisphere, if not the Greenwich Meridian (and on the other side of the world, the Int'l. Date Line)? If the definition line passes down the middle of the Atlantic, then where does the other line cut through the Pacific?

97 Wiki: "The Western Hemisphere is the half of the planet Earth that lies west of the Prime Meridian and east of the 180th meridian. The other half is called the Eastern Hemisphere. In the United States, the term 'Western Hemisphere' is often used as a metonym for the Americas, even though geographically, the hemisphere also includes parts of other continents."

I think the central meridian passing through the center of the NA and SA together is about 101W. Now, half the sphere centered on that would be 11W to 191W = 179E.

105 I watched two movie recently...

Smile 2: The movie isn't bad, but it isn't as good as the original. But more interestingly it feels like the writer changed the movie from general horror to...an allegory on insanity among celebrities and its effect on everyone else. I mean...if I get the ending right its quite an indictment of modern soft left celebrity culture.

28 Years Later Bone Temple: I saw the first two movies years ago and they didn't impress me but I saw this one had Ralph Fiennes so I gave it a try and what a weird, weird horror movie. It is pretty gruesome and unnecessarily so but it does present an unexpected tale set in a zombie world that isn't really about zombies.

I'd recommend the former but not really the later.

wtf, a "relief fund for businesses claiming to be affected by federal immigration enforcement"? So, businesses who were hiring illegal aliens? Or tons of H-1Bs?

This better have been a Minnesota state fund, not a federal one. I've never heard of such a dumbass thing.

But I find it infinitely hilarious that it was abused by foreigners. Oh no, do I have to look? It was mostly abused by Somalis, right?

I used to think maybe 5 - 10% of gov't spend was waste/fraud/abuse and that it would cost more to try to recover it than it was worth.

Ate right through the temporary wire I ran from a dash switch to the starter solenoid so I could start the car. And ate all the insulation off a hot wire that feeds the convertible top switch. I took the transmission floor shifter out to replace the bad neutral safety switch that caused me to run the temporary wire, and ran out of time to get it all back together. So I had to find an ignition key to fit the other car, whose keys I have misplaced. Found one that works well enough to drive it.

217 Correct, Don Adams (real name Yarmy) was a Marine in WWII. Got very ill at Guadalcanal and recuperated for a long time in New Zealand, then was a DI. And yes, many of the familiar actors of the 60s/70s were WWII vets. As noted, the "Professor" on Gilligan's Island was seriously injured when his plane was shot down in the South Pacific. Lee Marvin of course was wounded at Saipan. Brian Keith was a tailgunner, Eddie Albert of Green Acres was decorated for valor at Tarawa for rescuing Marines with landing craft while under fire. Rod Serling was in the airborne in the Pacific, I think had some rough time at Leyte. And on, and on.

220 Not on the chart, but Stayman, a mid-Atlantic variety, is very good. Just for eating and cider, never cooked with them.

The whole "over" and "under-rated" thing, here as elsewhere, I find pointless, as there's no point of reference, and different people rate various things quite differently.

Haven't tried Cosmic, will do so. Honeycrisp and Fuji are very good, when in good condition. I'll have to look for Gravenstein for pies, which will be "in season" again soon.

There was a winery in northern Virginia that had an orchard of heirloom apples, many of them varieties imported by Thomas Jefferson and others of that period. You could go pick them on certain days. Loved that, don't recall the names, several very long and very German.

Debby, I'm surprised the apple chart got some comments. But as always, I got some good advice. I'll have to look for Gravensteins, and I might consider these Sugarbees. I make applesauce with Honeycrisps that is so sweet it burns your stomach. No added sugar, in fact I cook them with cranberry sauce to make it a bit tart.

Week's End Cafe

by Mark Denney
He doesn't say where this is but it looks like Patagonia.

After getting a call about a "weird cat," biologists say they've identified a new species of cat. I've got news for these "biologists," if a weird cat is a news species, there are about 100 million new species of cat.

Vultures sunbathing.
Poor puppy is guilty and ashamed.

Surfin' Birds. (I think they're just standing in shallow water as the waves come in.)

Well-mannered dogs. Like Hugo Drax's rotweillers, but not as murdery.

Dog is reunited with his long lost sister.

Quad miniguns. Look at the brass dumping out it like a downpour of rain.

Heartwarming Halloween.

Bro just wanted a little affection.

Baby lamb is happy to be alive.

Sherlock Holmes fight analysis.

So if you're on a truck going 80 kph but your are thrown backwards by a launch-rail that accelerates you to 80 kph in the opposite direction, do you just wind up standing in place?

🚨#BREAKING: A Black woman in York, PA, says she is “PERSONALLY OFFENDED” that officials called Black teens who DRAGGED a White girl off her porch and BEAT HER UNCONSCIOUS... “uncivilized.”

"To me, that feels like you're saying that the juveniles in this incident are uncivilized, and I am personally offended by that analogy."

She then goes on to argue that “other people” were involved... not just “people of color.”

She goes on to ask what the college will do to check the behavior of the (White) STUDENTS who are living off campus...

Yes, the ones who were BRUTALLY BEATEN she thinks needs to have their behavior "checked" and educated.

This is utterly insane, one of the craziest things I've ever watched in my life.

After getting a call about a "weird cat,"...

I ws walking in the park, two days ago when suddenly I had the feeling I was being watched and I could smell a very strong animal smell.

I didn't see anything but the foliage by the creek is a huge mess. So, i decided to finish my way away from the park.

The next day by the same place no smell, no feeling of being watched, however while walking back home, I caught sight of what looked like a small mountain lion, maybe a juvenile?

It disappeared into the foliage by the creek.

I didn't call animal control, but maybe I should have.

A mountain lion/puma in this area is barely within the realm of possibility, but highly unlikely.

In any event, is anyone familiar with a breed of cat that looks like a juvenile puma?

56 I missed the Greenland news, and was wondering why all the Greenland references were popping up...

This Greenland deal sounds like the existing agreement since 1951. Trump is desperate and needs a “win” before the midterm elections in november so he TACO’d and agreed to the existing agreement. Fart of the deal.

Same deal as they already had. And of course he’ll call it a win and people will believe it. Unbelievable.

I read the 1951 Treaty and despite what people are saying that said nothing about how the US could dictate their investments. And how are they defining an ‘adversary’? Would that include Canada and other NATO allies (whose presence might be helpful at some point) that He doesn’t like?

Dealing with Trump is incredibly dumb. Like having someone threaten to burn your house down and then inviting them over for tea and crumpets. There's no way the US should be trusted to have thousands of troops in a territory it's already said it wants to own.

You can probably relax. They will have given him something which is probably nothing but something that Trump can claim is the deal of the decade.

81 63 Mother celebrates adoption of her daughter.

Look, it's awful, but she probably did the right thing? Raising a kid you don't love or want is going to hurt the kid and the parent. Maybe you can get some kind of counseling to "fix" whatever is broken, but that's no guarantee. A loving adopted family is a much better bet for the kid. What is the dad thinking, I wonder?

If she wanted kids, had one, and mentally just changed...maybe you can't help it? Just get sterilized so it won't happen again.

And she didn't seem to be "celebrating" in the video, at least to me. No cake and party hats and friends celebrating her ability to go be a whore or anything (like some divorce/abortion videos I've seen). Just a matter of fact explanation of things. She didn't seem happy, sad, or anything...mostly emotionless and tired. She probably has some mental issues...

83 >>Is there oil, or rare earths in Greenland?

Yes, there are rare earth minerals in Greenland.

But the real reason some of us have been saying Trump wanted control of Greenland is because of the arctic shipping lanes and missile defense. Same reason China and Russia have also been trying to dominate the region for years.

Same reason we are now finally starting to build ice breaking ships.

Posted by: Case at September 18, 2026 08:20 PM (xJpuh)

It’s funny, when I first started my fitness journey, I wanted to change my relationship with food and make it something that just provided sustenance. I specifically made it taste bland to avoid over eating. After awhile, I was like this is crazy, you can eat food that is healthy and make it taste good, too. And you can take food that is comforting, or maybe not necessarily viewed as healthy, but do a few tweaks (eat this, not that kind of thing) and not feel like you are missing out. We had pizza last night. But instead of a ton of cheese, it was a little cheese and a ton of veggies. I want to tell you I am not obsessed with food, but I went on and got a nutrition degree so maybe I am. lol.

The reason why there isnt much shipping up there is there is no demand. It's a very spasely populated area and the goods are better moved by air.

China and Russia can get to us, the good old US of A, through the Arctic Ocean. But not if we control it. And we can dominate the shipping routes and keep them open unlike say a Strait of Hormuz.

The French used to think the earth was prolate, not oblate, based on some theories by Descartes and the Cassini's. Newton figured it had to be oblate, pointing to observations of Saturn and Jupiter as well as his gravitational theories.

But the Frogs rejected that until they finally proved Newton right. Well, not all of them, there was a dispute over that, and they fund some big geodesy expeditions to measure it, comparing the equatorial regions to the higher latitudes.

The Week in Woke

If Lindsay Clancy was hot, all the AWFULs would have voted "guilty" and suggested the death penalty.

The Democrat Party is gobsmacked to learn that DEI hiring practices in politics produce the same gigantic failures as in all other fields.

According to former Democrat Party National Fundraising Committee member Lindy Li, the Party conducted a top-secret poll to gauge the strength of the various pols who could replace Biden. Kamala Harris came in dead last.

But they grimly made her their candidate because of the DEI imperative of placating black female Democrats.

"The polling numbers went directly against the narrative that the party wanted to espouse," Li said.
Party members floated Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer internally as replacements. According to Li, every one of them tested better than Kamala. Asked why the party buried its own numbers anyway, Li said, "They knew that skipping over Kamala Harris would be a slap in the face to the bedrock of the party, which is black women in particular, and they just wouldn't have it."
The details get more embarrassing from there. "Kamala Harris came in dead last," Li said. "It wasn't even close. Pete Buttigieg, who hilariously received 0% support from the black vote, did better than she did. And yet the party is so straitjacketed by DEI that they had no choice but to appoint her."

A man was stabbed in Seattle's Pioneer Square on Sunday. He's in critical condition.

The attacker could have been identified... but dreary wallflower femcel communist moron Katie Wilson turned off all of the city's CCTV cameras because they could be used to catch illegal aliens committing crimes and then Trump might deport these legions of doctors, engineers, and rocket scientists.

No, seriously, that's the real reason.

She also says the cameras are a "danger" to "people of color."

An investigation is underway after a stabbing victim boarded the Link light rail Sunday afternoon in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood.
...
Firefighters then arrived and treated the approximately 30-year-old man, before paramedics transported him to Harborview Medical Center -- where he remains in critical condition as of Sunday night.
...
As of the SPD's last update, the suspect remains at large with no description given. Police also did not say that there was a threat to the public.
The reported stabbing took place a few blocks from the nearest active city CCTV camera at 3rd Avenue and Yesler Way, while other city CCTV cameras that are installed throughout Pioneer Square, remain turned off since the end of the FIFA World Cup in early-July, as an ongoing audit determines the security of their data from federal authorities and their efficacy.

Asked directly if the suspect could have been identified if the cameras were on, Wilson's black female police chief (of course) takes so long to answer (because the answer is "Yes, obviously") that Katie Wilson steps in to answer for her. She admits that of course cameras are "helpful," but wants to keep them shut off.

Facing imminent deportation for his role in Columbia University Apartheid Divest -- the group that claims to be working toward the downfall of Western civilization -- Khalil is showing some real nerve.
On Monday, he filed a lawsuit against Columbia and the dean of his master's degree program, claiming they failed to protect him and his fellow window-smashers from discrimination and harassment.

Cry harder, Fruit of Islam
It's not the first time Khalil has sought protection under the laws of the constitutional system he advocates overthrowing.
In March 2025, Khalil sued Columbia and several federal lawmakers to stop the university from turning over students' disciplinary records to Congress.
Had Congress seen that Columbia failed to expel anti-Israel fanatics who destroyed school property, trespassed, and falsely imprisoned custodial staff, the government might have concluded that universities weren't taking discrimination against Israelis and Jews seriously.
Khalil and his comrades may dream of a world without a First Amendment, but they were happy to invoke it to protect themselves.
In July 2026, he sued multiple government officials, think tanks and other nonprofits, arguing they conspired to have him deported.
Apparently he believes that private organizations making political arguments are not protected by the First Amendment, while destroying property and disobeying police are sacred civil rights.
To summarize: Anyone looking to hold Khalil and his fellow professional agitators accountable for documented lawbreaking is violating civil rights law -- and anyone trying to protect the students those agitators wanted to intimidate is violating the First Amendment.
Any questions?
...
Living in a free country means putting up with that nonsense -- to an extent.
It does not mean we have to allow our enemies to undermine us on our home turf.
Khalil is not a citizen and would make a very bad one if he became one; he should be sent home before that happens.
He is free to criticize the Great Satan of America and the Little Satan of Israel from Algeria or Syria.

Maybe a sign of progress? University of Alabama at Birmingham offers a degree in "LGBT Health and Wellbeing" -- which consists of just watching all the "Stefon" sketches on SNL -- but at the moment there are zero point zero students enrolled in it.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham's LGBTQ Health and Wellbeing certificate recorded zero students in fall 2024 and fall 2025, the school's self-reported enrollment information reveals.
The data show that the certificate reported one student in fall 2023, when coursework for the program began, before dropping to zero in fall 2024 and remaining at zero in fall 2025.
The report states that students are counted under their primary degree program, so students pursuing the certificate while in another program may be excluded. The certificate is housed under the School of Public Health.
Despite its zero reported enrollment, the university continues to advertise the certificate on its website. Only one other School of Public Health graduate certificate, Disability Health Studies, recorded zero students in fall 2025.

Some good news: A non-profit is being set-up to defend conservatives from the left's unending lawfare:

@DataRepublican
This is a big announcement. Leftists have had their own free legal representation for decades. Conservatives haven't.
This is because traditionally, conservatives have thought of politics as winning the debate. It's comfortable. It's institutional. They don't have to be "mean" to anyone.
Until, enter Oversight Project ( @ItsYourGov). Think of them as an actiontank instead of thinktank. The first such organization for conservatives to meet leftists on their own terms.
Creating the first-ever home for conservatives affected by lawfare is just the start.

Are they still paying the professors assigned to teach the courses?

Where I work, if a course doesn't get enough students, it will get dropped like a hot potato and the instructor will be assigned to some other course (if one is available).

She was on Disney's 'Dog with a Blog' - she was the adorable little red-headed girl. But apparently a NINETEEN year old can't post anything if they have great breasts.

She is really sweet. If there are any Horde members who like pretty 20+ year old redheads with amazing breasts who post pictures of themselves at meat food festivals and eating giant pizzas.

38 I am still trying to wrap my head around the baby murder case and why awfl women think it was an OK thing to do.

I guess in the end this was just another case of abortion on demand and apparently white liberal women have zero issues with women killing their babies no matter the age or the reason. I guess in their minds it is a simple progression from killing a baby in the womb to killing your kids no matter their age.

It's a good thing they don't believe in God because his judgement is gonna be lit when they die.

66 Full statement from President Trump:

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.

There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America.

Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.

For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation.

BREAKING: DHS confirms to
@FoxNews
that a rideshare driver arrested in Montgomery County, MD for allegedly kidnapping & raping an underage girl during a ride is an illegal alien from the African country of Guinea who was caught & released at the AZ border by the Biden admin in 2023. He also has a prior rap sheet of sexually assaulting a minor in NYC from earlier this year.
DHS says Abdoulaye Dia of Lanham crossed the border illegally into Lukevilke, AZ on December 21, 2023 (one of the days my team and I were there doing live shots showing masses of African men crossing illegally), but was released into the U.S. by Border Patrol.
Dia was arrested by NYPD on June 10th for sexual abuse by forcible compulsion, forcible touching – sexual/intimate parts of another person, injure child less than 17, and sexual abuse without consent.
He’s now been arrested by police in Maryland for allegedly kidnapping and raping an underage teen girl during an Empower rideshare in which he was the driver. Police say he took her to a parking lot and raped her in his vehicle, and they believe there are more victims.

Anyways. CBC - Greenland - 2 parts.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he has a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence in Greenland after months of threatening to take island by force from the NATO ally.

Trump in a social media post announcing the deal said the agreement "gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns."

He added that with the agreement his administration would "immediately" begin the process of developing a larger military presence on the mineral-rich Danish territory.

119 Part 2

The office of Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the deal will be signed by three governments next week during the United Nations General Assembly, but parliamentary action is still needed by the Danish and Greenland governments before it can be enforced.

In a statement she said "the agreement recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Greenland and Denmark and upholds both people's right "to self-determination."

With his return to the White House last year, Trump called on Denmark to sell the island to the United States, while insisting that Greenland is crucial for U.S. security. He pointedly wouldn't rule out taking the island by military force, even though Denmark is a NATO ally of the U.S.

So why the hell would you play her on the radio?
Posted by: 18-1 at September 18, 2026 06:55 PM (sKqQm)

No, she was on 'Bizaardvark' which was actually a pretty funny show and one of my favorites. They made funny musical videos. Girl can sing.

A lot of her songs are with very little instruments drowning her out. "Driver's License" is basically her. She had a beautiful video just her on a piano. And she was really sweet. I still follow her. I think she's still alright personally.

Music-wise. People can judge here. Olivia playing the piano and singing. That's it. 3 minutes.

If they're saying something about you that you know is false, then you should take it as given that they're doing it or want to. Combine that with twisty-windy minds that can hold opposite rationalizations if it's to their perceived benefit, and there you go.

210 #55: "And the damned lawyers.. How do they get so many chances ?And who pays for the lawyers... I'm betting we do..."

A lot of Big Law firms require their attorneys to give many hours "pro bono" and somehow, representing illegals and terrorists seems to be high of their list of preferred "pro bono" clientele. Dorsey & Whitney, for example, is a huge (700 attys) firm with offices all over the US and around the globe. Their lawyers proudly spent endless hours representing the unlawful combatants captured in the War on Terror and housed at Gitmo, and the firm brags about it on their website. So it's D & W's other clients whose fees cover the costs of giving top flight representation to scumbags who'd slit all their throats in a NY second. Idiot do-gooders.

MAHA: Get Your Kids Off Their Screens and Make Them Live Actual Life, Says RFKJr.

I mean, it's obvious, but it's good that someone in authority is saying it.

The Department of Health and Human Services has a challenge for American parents and children: "Live real life."

I think that's a challenge for all of us.

For example, garrett spends most of his days online trolling for gay cyberex. That's no way to live. He should be out there in the real world, dressed like a highway pirate from The Road Warrior, giving handjobs under the bridge.

The way it used to be.

...
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exclaimed, "Today, adolescents -- a 16-year-old spends an average of 8.5 hours a day on screens. Even toddlers spend two, three hours on screens every day. Only one in four high school students has at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day." No wonder kids are unhealthier, lonelier, and more dysfunctional than ever.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Medicare and Medicaid administrator, pointed out, "This is the first generation of young people in America who are not growing up living just with their screens. They're living through their screens."
...
Kennedy reflected on his own experience in childhood. "You know, when I was growing up, I spent a lot of time in the woods, and walking in creeks, and outside playing with my brothers and sisters playing sports in the yard, getting scrapes, climbing trees, catching animals, and that connected me to something larger than myself."
Such an experience, Kennedy noted, "was shared by 10,000 generations of human beings that lived before there were laptops, before there were smartphones, and we have responsibility as parents, and as a government health agency. to do everything we can to get our children out into those experiences again, and prepare them for life." This is how we transform the future.

This is the way.

On the other hand: the left-wing fascists are now actively urging their weak, fat followers to be even weaker and fatter than they are now. "Fascists," by which they mean "non-communist mutant normies," may be fit, but it a revolutionary virtue to be weak and unhealthy.

Here, here! I support this agenda with all of my soul.

Our children get one childhood, and we cannot allow screens to replace the real-world experiences they need to grow and thrive.

Through the Office of the Surgeon General�s Live Real Life initiative, we are giving families practical tools to put technology in its proper place� pic.twitter.com/tO3XRPi9aK

🚨 Da'Shaun L. Harrison at Socialism 2026 argues that the policing of "Black fat flesh" is foundational to broader "entire systems of governance."
"Without a population to discipline, there would be no BMI, no obesity epidemic, and no medical or scientific institutions organized around managing fatness," Harrison says.
Harrison argues that diet culture trains "obedience," "self-denial," and "discipline," before expanding the framework into what Harrison calls "body fascism."
That includes state efforts to define which bodies are protected or erased, calls for sovereignty intended to maintain borders, and the treatment of Black flesh itself.
Harrison then turns to Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, arguing that the broader effort to treat fatness as a public-health problem cannot be separated from Blackness.
At this point, I am genuinely at a loss for words.

She says the left should not try to beat fascists "at their own game" by becoming "fitter, more eugenic."
"In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think."
She closes by arguing that revolution is not "a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies" and that the very idea is itself fascist.

Anyone have any gains to report? Or any interests, hobbies, or projects to promote/recommend?

I did a quick 48 hour fast. Supposedly, a fast this short (actually, the "Monk Fast" is supposed to go for 36 hours) does not result in any loss of muscle, but gives you a quick bit of weight control.

It also gets you back into ketosis if you've fallen off due to one too many cheat days. I did the 48 hour fast ten days ago and I remained in ketosis since then despite not being super-low carb, just moderately low-carb. I went out of it again this morning (after having some french fries) so I guess I'll try it again on Monday and Tuesday and see if I get the same result.

26 Screens aren't the only problem. The Total Control of kids (not allowed to just go find trouble, scheduled out the wazoo, etc) started long before then. I think there are pop culture terms for all this but I of course won't know them.

Can it all be traced to the ridiculous McMartin pre-school hoax in Manhattan Beach waaaay back? Or was the generation of parents that started this just a disastrous failure waiting to happen anyway?

On the other hand: the left-wing fascists are now actively urging their weak, fat followers to be even weaker and fatter than they are now.

Those were some hilariously blockheaded individuals up on that stage advocating for the jellyfish lifestyle in order to "own" we fascists. And their verbiage was positively incomprehensible.

They'd all be served up on the first night's menu for the Burning Times.

Losses, in a way. In the 90 days or so I've been in Hawaii, I've lost about 20 lbs. A little bit more active walking around and hiking some trails, but mostly just sticking to my keto diet, which is tough when you're in a new place with lots of (carby) food you want to try.

49 GAINZZ - I've been working on a project. I'm a 28.5 year old white guy in Canada who needs to make a living after caregiving for 14 years with a high maintenance 105 year old dog that needs me around.

But I've been working on something. I'm excited about.

I'm taking a break but I'm kind of streamlining some processes. I call it The Machine but it's going to make the API calls to OpenAI, Perplexity, SpaceXAI easier as well as the Python to process everything for the other programs I'm using.

It sounds more complicated than it is. But I think it's a good idea. And if it doesn't work, I learned tons of stuff for the next project.

And AI has gone down!! My scripts for OpenAI were $0.34 ---AMERICAN DOLLARS. And Perplexity is cheaper than I thought too - $3 for something that took it 2 hours to finish. SOLD!!

I'm just happy to contribute to America's trillion dollar data centers.

51 Don't laugh at me, but I've just started to get into Tai Chi. I'm in the beginner's stage that concentrates on flexibility and balance, while promoting muscle endurance. It's a lot easier to learn than I thought. Being over 29, I noticed a decrease in balance and, obviously, aches and pains associated with age. So I thought, what the hell...giving it a shot....and it's great. No equipment. Can do it anywhere. Twenty to thirty minutes every morning...we're done.

I'm working up to dynamic tension and antagonistic co-contraction, which are more advanced routines that focus on muscle definition and strength. Basically, you are putting one muscle group against another...

So, that's my Gainz moment. I'm actually enjoying it...and getting solid noticable results. Plus, the chicks dig it.

Yeah well this has been pretty much criminalized. First the population was terrorized using the Adam Walsh case, making parents believe this was the norm and child-murderers were lurking around every corner, so the helicopter parenting started. It became the cultural norm to either hover over your kids at all times or keep them indoors, otherwise you were a bad parent putting your children at grave risk. Now you can't let your kids walk home from a playground a block away from your house without catching a charge and CPS crawling up your ass.

108 My wife and I hike with dogs twice a week, and I shot an 80 today. I am posting this from my open shed where I can watch the local critters come and go all day long. I encourage all of my friends to be outside as much as possible. It's almost like a mini-vacation, even if it's only for an hour here or there.

Ditto - I have a nice backyard with a pool, and over the back fence is a creek, woods and then the backside of a highschool. Deer wander through the woods to the creek every morning and evening. Hawks nest in the very tall trees in the wood. We plant a lot of flowers every summer and I live on the back porch. Put a TV out there and watch baseball all summer long. Will soon be time to pack it all up and close the pool. Winter starts in late October and the sun doesn't reappear until the end of April most years.

The main character in Graham Greene's Brighton Rock is a teenager who is repulsed by sex due to having to hear his parents get it on in their cramped hovel. He's a mob enforcer and to cover his tracks, decides to convince dim-witted 16 year old girl to marry him so she won't be able to testify, but he loathes the idea of physical interaction.

But since it was the 1930s, the marriage would not be valid if it was not consummated so he forces himself to have sex with her, only to find that it's not bad, and maybe even pretty good.

I think it's necessary to explain the character, though. A liberal pacifist becomes a killer because public order has broken down, and it isn't really the usual trope because his daughter survives but is catatonic, and it shows his son-in-law struggling with that. It's not just a throwaway premise, it is an ongoing pain that fuels his fury.

Fantasy can be weird like that- even before George the Pirate.

I remember in high school I read this one where a group of friends are playing D&D and get transported to a world where they become their characters. Interesting. Then the author promptly has all the women get gang raped and it's like 'oh fuck off.'

There was another author (in high school I read anything and everything) who it actually took me two or three books to realize the main female romantic lead always got raped in his novels.

THAT is when I started to realize that a lot of this stuff is a chance for the authors to work out their kinks.

184 As for my gainzzz....

I walk around the block in the morning, weather permitting.
I spend 5-10 minutes on the exercise bike right before bed, because walking doesn't fully contract the knee like I need to regain range of motion (dislocation in high school, never did get it all back, trying now).

I plan to gradually increase those, and if I get a job that requires me to get up so early I can't consistently get up 20 minutes earlier to walk, I'll move the walking to the evenings as a post-prandial.

I also hate the gratuitous orphan/lost love thing, but in "Deathwish" it is not a trope. Paul Kersey's own home was violated, and the police don't much seem to care. It's about personal tragedy turning a man inside out.

Now in "Death Wish 2" it's a trope.

Full statement from President Trump:

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.

There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America.

Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.

For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation.

This is California's end also. The military will take over sensitive areas and also areas (neighborhoods or cities) for government and civilian workers - state law will not apply. The rest of CA will be a shit hole.
**** San Francisco and San Diego will be under federal jurisdiction; all local governance will be thrown out or in jail.

That should be a necessary part of the primary school curriculum.

Jimmy Kimmel, Steven Colbert Whine About How Hard Their Jobs of Not Being Funny Are

The two anti-talent lottery winners whine about how hard it is failing at your job every single night.

Stephen Colbert swung by ABC and Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday to celebrate his Emmy win and to reflect back on his days as host of The Late Show. Colbert claimed to be much happier now that he is no longer hosting the show because he doesn't have to "drink a cup of poison" every day by immersing himself in the news, but neither he nor Kimmel appeared to realize that nobody was forcing them to do that in the first place.
Kimmel began by simply wondering, "Do you think about it ever?" and Colbert answered by quipping, "Nope. I have an opportunity to not think about the news every day? And I took it."
Rewinding to Monday's Emmy Awards, Kimmel observed, "Yeah, you know what, when I saw you last night, or what was--yeah, last night, I felt like you--I don't know, you seemed like a different person. You seemed happier. You seemed healthier."
Colbert retorted, "Like I don't drink a cup of poison every day?"
After Kimmel affirmed, "Yeah. Like that," Colbert recalled, "Because part of the job is--the old gig as I remember it, was that to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day and then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera. And to eradiate it back at the audience at a nonlethal rad level."

Kimmel agreed, "That's right. That's exactly the job description."

At no point did it become necessary for comedians to become indistinguishable from MS NOW hosts.

They would disagree. They must hunt Trump through the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perdition's flames before they give him up!

In more repulsive "celebrity" news, "Lilly" Wachowski continues complaining that the country isn't embracing and validating "her" trans identity.

"She" previously complained that no one wants to fund his "all-trans cast" movie.

It's not 2022 anymore, "Lilly."

Filmmaker Lilly Wachowski is working to get her next project, "The Hunted," out of late-stage production. But the "Bound" and "Matrix" director says nobody in Hollywood wants to finance the thriller, which is budgeted at around $10 million, because of its trans representation.
"People like it, but they really don't want to make it because it's [got a] wall-to-wall trans cast," Wachowski said on KCRW's "The Business" podcast last Friday. "I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people."

"This is a script that was extremely important for me to write," she continued. "It was a response to what is happening in the world for trans people, and it gave me a hugely cathartic receptacle to dump all of my anger and rage and frustration into."

Oh great, it propagandizes "trans rage" as trans people keep violently attacking normies.

I think I saw Midnight's Edge point out that if "she" really wants to make the movie, "she" can self-fund it. They pointed out that actor/legend Bruce Campell wanted to make a movie, so he funded it himself.

Now "Lilly" blasts everyone for not supporting and centering the Trans Experience, and for supporting JK Rowling.

Lilly Wachowski on Her New Studio Anarchists United, the Black Power Origins of 'The Matrix' and How 'Harry Potter' Fans Are 'Supporting Trans Genocide'
The visionary filmmaker behind 'The Matrix' opens up about her new studio for marginalized voices, J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk.

The "journalist" here talks about the "Trans Tipping Point" when transgenders pressured studios into casting them in TV shows.

But that golden age, which lasted all the way from 2015 to 2023, is faded.

Then came the backlash. Republican politicians and pundits began zeroing in on trans rights, treating it as a wedge issue in order to distract from Trump's economic failings. A moral panic ensued. Just last year, more than 600 anti-trans bills were introduced at the state level in the U.S., and 29 states adopted restrictive laws pertaining to trans people. And Hollywood followed suit, scaling back its trans representation. Cox recently shared she'd lost 90% of her income amid Trump and his minions' war on trans people and DEI.

I think the "backlash" was less about a trans actor being on Orange Is the New Black and more about the state using its power to force parents to trans their children and propagandize more children into cutting off their genitals.

[WACHOWSKI:]
The story is: I was talking to Sarah Marie Flores, who is our third in the triumvirate of the Anarchists -- between me and Lawrence Mattis -- and was coming out of this TV show that I'd worked on that I was really proud of, "Work in Progress"...

A TV show about a middle-aged lesbian dating a trans man. It is, as they say in Hollywood, a "Four-Quadrant Blockbuster," appealing to all four major demographics: Lesbians, AWFULs, trannies, and ten year old drag queens.

...which went for two seasons, got on all these top ten lists and didn't get the viewing numbers that the studio wanted, so we were summarily canceled and a few months later pulled from streaming....

Oh, no one watched your extremely niche show and so they cancelled it? That's so unfair and discriminatory.

He then pulls the card the gay/trans/DEI writers always pull: We didn't get ratings or sales but we got good reviews from the woke reviewers and that's even more important.

So, when Showtime turned around and canceled the show even though it was so critically acclaimed and really made for peanuts, it lit a fire under me.

More whining:

You're right. We were at this "trans tipping point" where you had Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine and the NCAA deciding to pull the Men's Basketball Tournament out of North Carolina if they decided to institute these bathroom bans that would harm trans people.
...
it's that billionaires started pumping out negative propaganda against trans people. They started creating reports about kids with litter boxes, and the Cass report came out in the U.K. -- that has since been debunked but has been used as this cudgel against trans people. This idea of "trans surgery for minors" -- they're still saying this shit. Jesse Watters was talking to the Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about cutting kids' tallywackers off. None of this is happening! This is all right-wing propaganda against trans people. That is what has caused the shift.

Notice they always do the same thing: They claim that zero children are undergoing surgical "transitions" but when you say "Okay if that's true, let's make it illegal so we know for sure it won't happen," they say "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT'S VITAL TRANS-AFFIRMING CARE!"

So which is it? Is it something that never happens and that it's "misinformation" to say it happens, or is it vital gender-affirming care that kids need?

Choose one.

While that's happening, our industry is being consolidated into these corporate monoliths that are run by people like Larry Ellison, and Larry Ellison is a radical conservative idealogue.

He's a normie who wants to make money.

Here "Lilly" expresses the real leftwing objection to Paramount/Skydance buying Warner Bros: CNN might not be as reliable an agitprop channel.

It's completely bonkers! They're like these Death Stars. They want CNN because they want to make it into Fox News. I got involved with Anarchists and I had written this script ["The Hunted"] with my partner as this receptacle for all my anger. I was using it as this piece of art that was an incredibly cathartic experience to write, and it was a salve for both of us. It's political, but to be trans in this world that we live in is political. My body is political.

He objects to Elon Musk using the expression "Take the red pill," insisting that "take the red pill" really means "embrace trans lifestyles."

Oh, so "Lilly's" next project is another Four-Quadrant Blockbuster, called "Cassie Workman is Witchy AF."

Witchy. Very 2011 MySpace. And "AF" -- you know, "AF" lost its cache as a meme five years ago, right?

Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling are two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community. What are your thoughts on them?
I mean... these people are Nazis. They're literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage. I think that the global community needs to firewall the U.S. from their populaces in a way because this country has allowed Nazi propaganda to proliferate at such a degree that it has become dangerous to the global population. As much as another country can, I think they need to be fighting back against hate speech and shutting those platforms down. They've had some success in Brazil and Europe, but it's kind of over for the U.S. and the U.K. at the moment. What Twitter does and what Meta does in the U.K... they're cooked.
...
[JK Rowling] is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support "Harry Potter," you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.
Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) speaks to the people of Zion in "The Matrix Reloaded."

It's so weird that other people don't want to work with this endlessly-raging headcase.

He thinks he can leverage people's declining interest in "The Matrix" into embracing his psychotically-angry and deranged worldview.

Well, good luck with all that.

I remember when Hollywood was freaking out because Netflix was going to buy WB and accelerate the end of the theatrical experience (studios really do need that theatrical money, streaming isn't nearly enough).

Who would stop it? Could it be stopped?

And then Paramount comes along, pays way too much in a bidding war while promising an extensive theatrical movie slate and release schedule that Netflix never would have, and it's suddenly the worst thing to happen to the industry.

Sure, the industry might be able to make some money, but Paramount/WB might make a movie that isn't hard leftist sometimes.

The Matrix Resurrections is personal therapy about the Wachowskis (well, just Lilly since the other one wasn't involved) dealing with their parents' death.

It is so naval gazing that it's amazing anyone agreed to fund the screenplay.

69 Stephen Colbert says that he's feeling better not hosting a late night show because "the old gig as I remember it was that to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day. And then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera and to eradiate it back at the audience at a nonlethal rad level."

Jimmy Kimmel agrees, "That's right. That's exactly the job description."

No, Jimmy, it's not. You turned it INTO that. Johnny Carson would occasionally talk about news headlines or something, but most of the time, he MADE YOU LAUGH and had guests that would come on and MAKE YOU LAUGH.

He didn't alienate MILLIONS and MILLIONS every night by pissing about POLITICIANS or a political viewpoint.

YOU ruined it. The most Jay Leno would do for newspapers was bring up the silly ads or stupid headlines from some local rag from bumf*ck wherever.

You, Colbert and the rest changed late night for the WORSE and you're all dying because of it.

71 Stephen Colbert says working on Late Show was like ‘drinking poison’ each night

Garbage headline. He used the phrase in reference to consuming the awful Republican news each day.

If you cannot change the atrocities, you have a duty to bear witness, and to use whatever platforms you have to ensure others do too.

This is a bare minimum requirement.As Macklemore stated recently. 'there is no thanks for a duty'.

Calling this out is something that every last one of us should be doing, everywhere we have access.

It was hard to watch any political late night after Trump got elected the second time. You could just see their struggle to remain composed in their eyes as the country sinks deeper and deeper into fascism.

I was watching The Daily Show religiously during Trump's first term. But... That hasn't been the case this term. It's all turned into "Wow, that's crazy. Anyone gonna stop him? No? Oh..."

100% As I love Colbert - and I do - I had to stop watching his opening monologues. Trying to keep your mental health intact during these times takes effort. And it begins by not stressing over horrible things you can do nothing about.

82 What a toxic he-witch, just saying things. I offer the antidote of an interview with Dr. Theodore Dalrymple, explaining why we fight:

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

I still think it's pretty good. Sure, some of the stuff (human batteries) is dumb, but the premise and world are interesting.

So I end up looking at "transgenders" like giving a fishing hat to a monkey at the zoo and laughing when they put it on their head. The monkey is immitating humans....just like a Male human immitates a Female Human (with all those stereotypes included) describes a "transgender." I can't help laughing at them, ridiculing them, and maybe feeling a bit of pitty for their delusions. BUT, I can't take them seriously. They're funny looking, and the seriousness they apply to the disguise makes it all the more hilarious.

Nah, it's all about suicide.

Trannyism is about as close as you can get to annihilation of the self without actually killing yourself.

I dunno, seems like a privilege to be granted access to the briefing room, not a right. I mean, its not like the briefings are available to everyone in real time on Cspan. I suppose you could make the case that they can't ask questions live - but so what - they can submit their questions in writing. Its not like they have to be called on if they come to the press conference do they? Isn't that discretionary? Why invite anyone - turn it into office space and do the briefings by zoom.

Eh, since this is kinda sorta a movie thread and I'm already complaining.

I read this:

Mark Andrew Edwards talks too much about Horror.

And don't agree with the assertion that to be a horror movie, the movie has to have an unhappy ending.

The assertion is made at the beginning and then never explored, just repeated over and over using various horror movies as examples.

Not really something you can have a discussion about.

"It's not a horror movie because of the happy ending."
"Yes, it is."

Done.

It's like the Monty Python argument skit.

I don't even know where to start on how bad the HP books are, but that's a good place. The magic is totally random. How is there ever any legitimate suspense if some magician can just stand up and say "Arresto momentum!" and Harry doesn't hit the ground after all.

There is never a single moment of suspense.

York PA Police Repeatedly Refuse to Shut Down a Black "Teen Takeover" Near Campus Housing, Even After Four 911 Calls;
Eventually the Thugs Drag White Female College Students by the Hair and Beat Them Senseless

"Decarceration" plus "equity in justice."

You can't send young thugs to jail because that's just the "school to jail" pipeline.

And we must generally empty the prisons, because prisons are racist.

And also, we need Equity in who gets sent to jail, so if black men commit crimes at 6-8 the rates of whites, we're just going to have to immunize 75% of black criminals from the law so that we can get those numbers to look good.

Also, it's Racist Misinformation to report actual crimes involving black people, so the media is going to have to embargo the story and smear anyone pointing it out as a racist.

And here you go. College students repeatedly called the cops to complain of a "teen takeover" right in their street and the cops, not wanting to arrest black thugs -- gotta keep those numbers down, we can't have a "school to jail" pipeline -- simply refused to even do a drive-by to scare the rioters off.

Eventually, the rioters started beating up girls who disrespected them by just being on their own porch.

">And no one's allowed to even talk about this, because whites are just going to have to accept some Street Reparations from time to time.

Pennsylvania college students beaten unconscious, dragged by hair as mob invades off-campus house
By Nicholas McEntyre

Several female Pennsylvania college students were brutally assaulted by a mob of agitators who had invaded their off-campus house during an apparent illegal street takeover.
The unidentified coeds, who attend York College of Pennsylvania, were dragged by the hair, punched, kicked, maced and beaten unconscious in the attack as they were sitting on the front porch of their rental home Saturday morning, according to Fox 43.

Whose porch? OUR PORCH!

"After the first punch was given, all these girls started to rush us, and that's where it kind of gets blurry because I think people were coming at me... I turn and see my friend get dragged by her hair down our porch steps and disappear. My other friend got dragged by her hair," one of the students told the outlet.
Dozens of suspects pummeled one of the students as she lay on the ground while a separate group of assailants unleashed a barrage of punches at another girl outside the home, according to videos obtained by Fox 43 and WGAL.
The violent attack took place just north of campus on the 300 block of W Jackson Street in York, Pa.
Hundreds of people had shown up to the area for an illegal street race when commotion drew the crowd to the students' location.

The students claim the heated confrontation was ignited when one of the suspects verbally accosted the group outside their home just before 1:50 a.m. as they told the mob to leave the property.

"One of the cars street racing smashed into a parked car by the firehouse, which is right next to the house. When this happened, all of the townies migrated over towards the house and on the grass. We all asked them to move off the property, and that's when everything erupted," one of the victims told Fox 43.
"I remember looking at our friend in the knee brace when I got caught off guard and ripped by my hair off the porch," she said. "From then, I was dragged to the stop sign and that's when everyone jumped me. I was getting kicked by probably 12 people at the same time."
The student said she was defenseless because she was trying to hold her tube top up with one of her arms as she was pummeled in the face.
The one victim believes she blacked out at least twice during the assault, once when she was kicked in the ribs and another when she was struck in the head.

Only after the fifth 911 call, when informed the mob was beating girls unconscious, did the police dare to interrupt the Mostly Peaceful Street Takeover.

Actual Justice Warrior -- video linked below -- notes that the media is downplaying this, when they report on it at all. The local media reports it as the girls "claiming" to be beaten, despite the attack being filmed by the thugs themselves, and further suggests this is just a "fight" or "brawl" and that maybe it was the white college girls who picked a fight with the black mob that took over their street.

This article, for example, calls it a "fight," because a "fight" sounds better than a racial lynching.

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!

York PA police have NOT ARRESTED A SINGLE PERSON... after a MASSIVE MOB of Black "teens" dragged a White female college student off her own porch BY HER HAIR, dragged her to a stop sign, and then beat her UNCONSCIOUS... TWICE...

Here's a list of news networks who have NOT covered the brutal beating of a White woman in York PA:
- NYTimes
- CNN
- Washington Post
- MSNBC
- NPR
- USA Today
- Reuters
- Axios
- ABC News
Every single one of them wrote stories on George Floyd...
...do you get it yet?!!!!!!!!

Here's a local report calling it a "brawl" and casting doubt on the victims' claims of being beaten, saying they're "demanding action after saying they were attacked."

They're saying it? It's on video.

I can assure the blacks, who still love to fight in packs and join street gangs, that they will not like it when gangs come back in fashion for white people.

41 This is why, as someone who is very pro gun reform, I still think personal firearm ownership should be a thing.

Agreed, but not them. We don’t need armed 18-22 year old suburban girls moving to the hood to fight for territory. There are a hundred similar schools within 100 miles that aren’t in dangerous areas. These kids all have families with the means to transfer.

And the victims could have their gun stolen and possibly used on them? What a ridiculous POV. If you have a gun and its 50 v 1 you retreat.

the problem is that this is a BAD neighborhood and has been for many years. If you value your children keep the away from this area completely.

I’m going to guess that she probably said something that she deserved this

this is right down the street from my house. I try to avoid the area after nightfall. Especially during school season. Usually pretty annoying crowds even if they aren't being violent.

Posted by: ... at September 18, 2026 03:10 PM (8D3Qw)

It's not a race-war only because it is almost entirely one-sided. Overt tribalism was rooted out of all but the poorest and most marginalized whites. But everyone else largely remains very tribal, especially blacks. So whites may not be interested in tribalism but it remains very interested in them.

I'm starting to think that a fair amount of the national narrative about lynchings is mythology, that it may have been a perfectly understandable response to a very violent demographic. See also Apartheid, South Africa.

I'm moving on from black fatigue to black hostility.

"If she had been shouting the N-word while she was strangling her kids, would you have supported her then?"

"Probably not."

Being racist is THE sin a leftist will never forgive. You can't explain saying the unsayable bad word with "hormones" like you can explain away methodically strangling your three kids with "hormones."

They have internalized the idea that white people are so racist and deserve punishment for their racism that any sign of racism makes the target a justified target for literal violence. (Gay and tranny stuff too, but on a smaller scale.)

We just need more clips of white progressives shouting the n-word in anger, and we could burn that party to the fucking ground.

I think we know that there are likewise plenty of intellect deficient white folks who are prone to fly off the handle and engage in serious criminal activity. If we don't know that, then we are fooling ourselves.

That said, there is a culturally significant number of lower class blacks who are engaged in this mob behavior as a pastime, and consider it their right. Ignoring that because of the large percentage of American blacks who find this behavior deplorable doesn't change the fact that it exists and is a threat.

And I can assure the black gangs are nothing against the Latino gangs, the Mexican gangs are absolute psychopaths. I wondered if there would be an awaking of how much the Dems really don’t like the black community when it was discovered the border crossers aren’t going to fall in line here. I also wonder if the Dems know what to do if their sanctuary tokens started full scale acting like they do in, say, Nuevo León.

185 Women's Lacrosse Players 'Attacked' In Their Off-Campus Home.

Whoop! Not the college's jurisdiction.

"Student safety is always the highest priority for York College. York College of Pennsylvania is aware of an off-campus incident that occurred on the evening of Friday, September 11, on West Jackson Street, involving individuals unaffiliated with the College and students not living in College housing.".

...Additionally, the College is actively offering support to affected students, including providing the option for any students living on West Jackson Street who wish to relocate back to campus housing to do so."

On a side note, York is the "White Rose" city, matched up with nearby Lancaster, which is the "Red Rose City". I, personally, lived in that area and got one of my degrees from a school in the area. One of my jobs while in school was security for an apartment complex housing students. We constantly had locals showing up (no particular race...mixed), and my job was to get their collective butts off the premises unless they had good reason to be there. Police were rarely necessary, but I was on a first name basis with the local cops just in case. Never had a free for all like this one. But, I can't exactly say it was all wine and roses either. Rule #1 was, never stand there with your hands in your pockets.

Comes back inside and shares this overheard exchange:

"The American rock band Live performed on MTV Unplugged in 1995, playing a nine-song set that included their own material and a cover of Vic Chesnutt's "Supernatural." Despite the performance, the set was never officially released as an album or video, remaining available only through bootlegs and online uploads, unlike the widely distributed Unplugged sessions by peers such as Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam."

Yeah. What "law" gives any press/media organization permanent access to the White House 24/7/365?

President Trump should find a janitor's closet in the WH and put a "White House Press Room" sign on it.

However many presstitutes can fit in there are the ones that will be allowed to ask questions when the WH Press Secretary opens the door every few hours.

275 A friend recently came into yoga class really rattled.

She had been in Walmart (which I will not go into anywhere around the region) grabbing a few items and a young Black woman started screaming she had better not come near her mother (sitting in a driving cart) or she'd beat her white a** into the ground.

The friend just turned, walked out of the aisle, out of the store, and ran to her car.

It's not unusual. Target is becoming scary, parking lots particularly hazardous. Just more and more violence regardless if where one may be.

There are a tremendous number of people around here on prescribed meds for anxiety, depression, anger, etc. It has nothing to do with race. Some began therapy in jail, prison. Some are also foreign, unable to speak English.

I've also been in CVS a number of times and have seen the concern on the faces of the pharmacists trying to find out if patients were still on certain anxiety meds along with new prescriptions. The liability must be a nightmare.

284 Clear that 100% of the culpability here is with the repulsive mob, and the useless "police", but nurse ratched has a solid tactical observation. I suspect most here would agree - if a mob is outside, best move is to go dark, prep (whatever that means in a given situation), scream at 911, and wait).

Kind of astounded that anyone would say anything to the feral mob (however justified). A negative response, to include violence, would be sort of predictable.

These girls were probably raised to think everyone is the same, and to assume they were dealing with rational people, rather than a totally irrational and violent mob. I suspect they will understand self-preservation a bit more acutely next time.

Seems completely correct. Note also the time, sitting on the porch at that hour is consistent with an evening of partying. Thus, liquid courage may have played some role in the decision to tell a mob to get off my lawn. As a parent, I am hoping my kid would be smarter. Although in truth, back in the day, I could have easily done something like that and wound up just as beaten.

289 Read the articles. Look at the pictures.

A young woman went up on the porch after another young woman, and the mob followed very quickly. That's always the plan & those outside kids were becoming the norm on that street.

You can't stop the mob when rolling. There were kids at the doors, at the windows terrorizing that particular "House."

A 17 year old white girl in a group of teens walked past my sister - who was on crutches YEARS ago after a car accident- reached her hand up & slashed my sister's face from above an eyebrow, down her eyelid, over across her nose and down a cheek. My sister almost lost her eye. (A special plastic surgeon was brought to the local hospital to help her.).

It was Easter Sunday. I was a married woman & parent. I beat that girl brutally. One brother & some neighbors fought the general group.

They came back at night & it began again, and the next night. Them, their cars, whatever we could swing something at for the proper effect. The police couldn't stop US in the night, in our neighborhood.

In the end, the girl who cut my sister got a few months in girls' correction (which no longer exists), until she turned 18. Period.

Rabid Left-Wing Students Waved "Kirkaversary" Celebration Cakes Smeared with Fake Blood in Conservative Students' Faces. The Conservative Students Filmed This Display. The University Moved to Expel the Students -- For Filming the Death-Celebrants!

Isabel Brown
@theisabelb
Sep 16
This week, the University of Utah is perpetuating perhaps the most grave injustice against conservative students I've ever seen.
Rylie is the Vice President of College Republicans at @UUtah, and is currently being threatened with EXPULSION by the University because she perpetuated "threatening and endangering behavior" by taking a photo of Sara, a student involved with College Democrats, when Sara showed up to their table last week with a "Happy Kirkaversary" cake smeared in fake blood & waved it around in Rylie's face.
Of course, *that* wasn't threatening behavior in any way, but Rylie taking a photo of the exchange completely legally is apparently grounds for EXPULSION.
If you are an alumnus of the University of Utah, call the Alumni Department TODAY and demand the Administration honor Rylie's legal right to take a photo. And if you donate money in any way, shape, or form to U of U, STOP immediately. These people are not your ally.
Praying for you and cheering you on, @Rylieparis05!

BREAKING: UVU threatens conservative students Riley Barnes and Riley Beesley with EXPULSION for supposedly "doxxing" a liberal student who went up to their group, mocking Charlie Kirk's death with a cake that said "Happy Kirkaversary".

One of the two students threatened with expulsion says that the University had -- under pressure, I assume -- stopped all of its harassment and told them there is no basis for disciplinary action.

MY CASE IS FULLY DISMISSED.

This wouldn�t have happened without the outpour of support we received online. Thank you!

Posted by: It's me donna at September 18, 2026 02:26 PM (+gK6I)

57 (Cake girl is the victim, and has a change.org petition lol)

a student brought a "Happy Kirkiversary" cake to school which led to her being posted by student Rylie Barnes. Barnes is the VP of the U of U College Republicans club. Since this post, the student has been doxxed, threatened, harassed at her family home, and is unable to come to campus for the next couple of weeks.

Someone might want to let those doing the doxxing know that “Disclosure of personal information with intent to cause electronic communication harassment” is (up to) a state felony.

For criminal liability it might be harder more so because the jury would likely be Republican more than anything else, but harassment at a minimum is definitely happening (and was likely a goal).

Rylie Barnes didn’t dox her. The person with the cake will have to just live with the consequences unless she can find a person who acted with intent.

Wow. “Just live with the consequences”
No one deserves death threats
No one deserves rape threats.
Those are not “consequences” anyone should have to “just live with”

People thought that about Charlie Kirk. 🤷🏻‍♂️

C) but you didn't care, so these are the new rules--eat shit and die.

- This girl has no intelligence. It is all emotion
- They have painted Kirk as a Nazi hater who deserved to be murdered. Because his opinions were bad.
- The university fully agrees. They have become a woke Stasi.

I honestly think the uglies of both sexes or any sex turn to each other in ugly unity to belong to something. And to take out their anger on people who look better or happy people.

Maybe she should stop eating cakes/sugar or get a Rx for pimple medicine. I think there is better medicine for this now.

I wouldn't know as I rarely had a zit and if I did it was one isolated one on my chin once a month I slapped concealer on.

Goodness! She seems to be like a teen girl I knew who put needles in her zits! I told her to leave them alone and now she has holes in her face. Even then I had more sense than her, and, yes, she's a flaming liberal Dim.

Fact:
There was no conversion or redemption for the Red Guard women.
Once a female has gone that far, there is never any "coming back."
They don't "settle down" or "mature."
This is a demonic ideology that drives all natural intelligence and reason out.
They only go more extreme--even in being confronted with their evils.

You're asking us to cede casualties and losses because maybe one of them might break that rule and be saved.

Better to make a warning of her to the ones not so far gone.

One thing I found instructive was comparing him and Shapiro.

Shapiro would "literally" destroy whoever he was taking with and come across as an asshole.

Kirk would point out they were wrong but in what seemed a more constructive way that might get them actually thinking about it afterwards instead of just hating him.

Peterson is sort of the same way though wow he had a couple of the best verbal take downs I've ever seen when he assessed the person he was talking with was a worthless asshole.

140 So I live in Utah and this is actually an exploding problem. Utah has Salt Lake City (and the University of Utah is in Salt Lake) which is now hard left. They are a "gay mecca" and so forth. The rest of the state tends to be pretty right wing. Except for Park City.

So the U of U has this whole "we hate BYU which is culturally conservative/Mormon/Right wing" thing that drives Ute's nuts. BYU is probably about as close as you get to a very large but conservative school, though it's also going somewhat left. The Church tends to crack down on leftist professors every so often.

In any event, Utah has a current squishy GOPe Republican governor, and then the Democrats managed to capture the judiciary somehow. That's how we got, via court order, a Democrat seat that no one voted for. So our legislature just packed the Utah Supreme Court, literally. To try to reform the place.

The University of Utah is far left, man. The college Democrats were trying to (it has been revealed) use this "doxxing" to ban the College Republicans. Hence the likely "forgiveness" statement from the College Republicans: they are trying to soothe some troubled waters since they also have been doxxed.

I already said - show the cake but not her face. Don't shame her publicly. Now that she is known, don't attack her face (what does bad skin have to do with bad ideas? -- ok, i get it, there is debate about that connection, but that does not mean we throw all ugly people in the trash with the commies.)

The idea of a cake celebrating a murder is revolting. But she is still young and probably still able to learn. I have sympathy for someone young making mistakes and doing really stupid things. I bet everyone here has things they did when young that they would prefer the world did not know about.

If she was worried about her zits, and being picked on, she wouldn’t have gone for such a spectacle in a crowd of people with cameras in their pockets.

"this will blow over when they get older and have to get jobs."

That was being said on these very pages back then.

Well, I don't. I keep saying that when a public institution is a net-negative for the public, we can just eliminate the department or program and be better off. Whatever positives it might have that people would miss, we can stand up a new replacement that just does those few things.

We're an immensely wealthy country. It would not even be difficult.

And higher ~~education~~ credentialing is clearly a net-negative now. State funding for post-secondary, gone. Federal subsidies for student loans, gone. Actual scientific research can get private and philanthropic funding, while recorded lectures can be delivered at near-zero cost to anyone who wants to learn.

I don’t think you are wrong.

This may be the first time she has felt a few very ugly consequences for her behaviors. Charlie Kirk had an amazing gift in his ability to connect without belittling. I pray there is someone out there who has the same gift. He changed hearts and minds, and the ones he didn’t, he at least had them stop and think for a second.

The left's footsoldiers are largely coddled by an establishment that backs them up at every possible opportunity while the footsoldiers themselves are convinced that they are the revolution.

The cognitive dissonance when they have to run to the establishment for protection while demanding the establishment squash the counter-revolutionary forces they're targeted would blow these people's minds if they thought about it.

Because the university encourages students to report others, the onus is on the university to make this right.

The right still loses. Lefties have plenty of mindless drones convinced they have nothing to lose/live for, so they don't care if they're arrested or die afterwards, and they don't believe in divine judgement.

Most conservatives have things to lose, have an optimistic vision of the future, or at least goals they want to build towards, and believe in divine punishment for things like murder. Tough to activate that base into political assassination unless all out civil war has occurred.

James Talarico Super PAC Caught Paying $25 Per Vote -- and Admitting Doing It on Hidden Camera Video

Texas Democrats have come up with a scheme to pay voters to cast ballots for their candidates, a video obtained exclusively by Townhall Media shows.
Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, was caught on video dishing on the scheme they hope will propel Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico to victory in November.
"We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things," McAdams says in the undercover video. "So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially."

It's very much like that, as a matter of fact.

In the video, McAdams says it's called a "paid relational program," which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally.
The theory is voters will be persuaded more by friends and family than a stranger showing up at their door.
"You can't pay someone to vote for someone," McAdams says in the video. "You can't be like, 'Here's $25, go vote for me.' You can say, 'Attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25.' And then the class just talks about the importance of... It's a little gray," he continues, apparently referring to the legality of the activity.
"If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, that's shady as f**k."

Correct. It is shady as f***, and I am in fact pissed.

EXCLUSIVE: TALARICO SUPER PAC CAUGHT PAYING VOTERS!

Talarico is honestly not that great of a candidate. His policy positions are lukewarm at best. He's very fortunate to be up against the worst candidate maybe ever.

We gotta pretend talerico is basically the second coming until the race is over then we can shit down his throat. He may not be Mamdani, but he'll be a great first step into turning Texas blue.

My mom has kool aid drinking Christian women in her social circle who say they aren’t voting for Talarico because he’s not a “real” Christian. He doesn’t believe in the “right” kind of Christianity.

After Beto, I refuse to believe this bullshit

If we didn’t have so many conservatives moving en masse to Texas we would have had a Senator O’Rourke

Media says this every election and texas will go red +5 points

Beto was behind in the polls and slightly overperformed. Paxton being behind is a terrible sign for him in a D wave year.

Waves crash unevenly.

In blue waves, red areas barely move, but blue areas go hard blue. The inverse in red waves.

This can create an effect where on the cusp districts and states get swamped in the tide of the wave, which creates the big swings in seat changes.

However, Texas is nowhere close to that swing area. It's solidly Republican. Texas is further to the right than NY is to the left.

Bad news: There is nothing illegal about this.

Good news: it's a huge fucking waste of money. This is basically the same as any other online focus group - except it pays much less than most of them.

People do these for one reason... to make a little money without leaving their couches. If it requires 1 nanosecond of time or 1 eV of energy more than the Zoom meeting, 99% of these people will not do it.

I expect what's actually going on is 9 people attend these things, the consultant/cousin of the candidate claims it was 90,000, and they pocket the money.

On top of the equally amusing begging by the al-Saud recently for Israeli intel via US laundering, a funny (sad funny) picture.

Some prominent American statesman said the jooo state was increasingly isolated, and should be careful with us, their best friends (i.e. endanger their very existence to humor some idiotic American policy move or idea). Can't recall who. Meanwhile the Israelis can hardly keep up with the flow of diplomatic upgrades, strategic alliances, and weapons exports/co-production deals the world is deluging them with.

In the closest we've had to a wave election recently, 2018, unpopular, bad candidate because he said the wrong thing at the 2016 convention and pissed off all conservatives while he had no friends in the establishment Ted Cruz won by 3 against dreamy, sort of like JFK Beto.

If this was to be a wave election on that scale, I'd still expect Paxton to win. But by more. Like 5 points.

Otherwise, it is just an "incentivized" voter education program. Hell, they could probably get a federal grant if they claim it is non-partisan (I think that is how most of the schools and universities work)

But the zoom class could require feedback (ratings, selecting further topics, rating outrage,....) and that would tell them what voters in TX get emotional about.

Most of our world is now a giant A/B test, by the way. They test what stories get retweeted, and then push more of that. We are ruled by algorithms. (Well not here, here we are ruled by hamster poop that falls off the wheels and somehow gets posted in the comments.)

I’m probably slow because I’m not following. Talarico is transparently a heretic using his own words. That means he’s not a real Christian. Why is it bad to say something that is undoubtedly true?

>>I’m convinced the movie and video game budgets are funneled to the DNC cheat machine. $305 million for a garbage Wolverine game??

The game has been in development for over 5 years, the company is based in California, so they pay the Cali tax, they have to pay for IP rights, salaries for hundreds of empoyees the development and then retaining a substantial workforce for post release fixes, updates and support.

Having said that, most triple A games suck and more enjoyment is to be had playing a 50 year old game like Pacman than anything currently being released by the big game studios.

There is a reason Minecraft, which is nearly 20 years old is still one of the most played games out there, and it was developed by one guy.

Nope.

Best scene in Scorcese's "Gangs of New York" was Democrat "organizers" crowding around the gangways bringing 19th century immigrants into New York, and bribing them to become Democrats just as their feet first touched American soil. This scene was based on documented historical records.

The Democratic Party has been the party of cheating since the day it was formed.

It is NOT that they believe in either and just maybe feel the pressure to cheat.

They see politics as a way to get power. Who cares if you get that power by convincing enough LIVs to vote for you or just manufacturing those votes. Either way you get the power.

It's more obvious in election races where you assume the Demcrat is going to get crushed. If it is close in the polls or even giving a lead to the candidate that by all reasonable means doesn't have a chance...then THAT is where most of the concentrated cheating will occur.

Talarico is one such race.

I used to think that I was being farcical holding this opinion until I saw how easy it was to fake polls. J. Ann Selzer of Selzer & Co, you will recall, put Harris over Trump by 4 points in Iowa...Trump won by 13 points. It's to give outlandish results legitimacy.

_________________________

That's probably part of it. But, I keep going back to the 2020 General Election. I don't just think Trump won. I believe he won by a substantial margin. The late night early morning ballot dumps occurred in just about every swing state without which, Trump sails through. Yet, every swing state poll was leaning Biden just prior to the election. I think the Democrats telegraph where they are going to focus their cheat. And use polls to explain it to provide legitimacy. Then, when the losing candidate complains about cheating (as Trump did) they can react they way they have for the last six years.

Here's the thing, unfortunately, the Democrat Party is the default political party of the US, it's only been since 1995 that the Republican party had any control in congress or even at the state level.

Remember, Texas used to be donk, it could be donk again, who knows.

2012 was the big year for that.

But unskewing polls is a statistical lie. You expand margins of error when you do that.

To reweight, you have to go back to the original data and do it there, but no one was doing that. They were just shifting margins on the final numbers back and forth.

Still, I'm convinced Obama stole it (FL, MI, and NV are enough on their own in the electoral college, and FL had Broward County stealing things until 2020, MI has Detroit just making up numbers probably still, and NV had the Reid machine).

British Medical Journal: The FDA and CDC Used a Faulty Algorithm to Understate Vaccine Injuries. When One Researcher Pointed Out the Flaw, She Was Told to Mind Her Own Business.

I'm not willing to assume "just an accidental oversight."

In fact, I'm very much assuming enemy action.

Adam Urato, MD
@AdamUrato1

Must-read investigative article in The BMJ.
Clear safety signals of Covid vaccine harms (in red below) were missed by FDA & CDC by using a flawed method where the harms went undetected.
"The agency's PRR analyses--examined by The BMJ--show that hundreds of types of adverse events met the agency's criteria for a signal" (including myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, and tinnitus.)
The FDA doctor who alerted them to the flawed safety system was muzzled. "She was told, with diplomatic flourish, to back off."

Above, the images show a correct analysis of vaccine harms, showing lots of red flags.

The images on the right show the FDA's and CDC's "accidental" understatement of vaccine injuries -- all green flags.

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

From the BMJ:

US officials knew covid vaccine safety system was flawed--but turned aside the FDA doctor who alerted them
US officials embraced an algorithm for detecting signals of harm from mRNA covid-19 vaccines that they knew was broken and suppressed efforts to fix it.
David Willman reports:
Before covid-19 vaccines were rolled out to Americans in December 2020, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assured healthcare providers that the agency was on the lookout for any harmful reactions. A key part of the CDC's strategy was its Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which receives such reports after vaccination.
"It is the nation's frontline system for monitoring vaccine safety and the early warning system for detecting possible vaccine safety problems," said Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of CDC's Immunization Safety Office, on 30 October 2020.
Millions of people were to be vaccinated each week, and the CDC would rely on statistical "data mining" of the VAERS database to quickly identify any safety signals in need of further probing.
Two well recognised, separate algorithms were to be used. The first involved calculating "proportional reporting ratios" (PRRs), which sought to identify types of reactions reported to VAERS disproportionately or more frequently than background rates. The second data mining technique, called "empirical bayesian," was to be provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which operated VAERS jointly with the CDC, and the two agencies planned to share and discuss results.
But in a little noticed September 2022 letter, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said that the agency did not perform PRR analyses for signals until 2022. This was more than a year into the vaccine rollout and was intended, she wrote, "to corroborate" the FDA's approach. Instead of using the PRR and empirical bayesian methods jointly during the pandemic, Walensky explained that both the CDC and FDA instead "chose to rely" on empirical bayesian, which she characterised as "a more robust technique."

It doesn't appear to be "more robust." What it appears to be is deliberately crippled to hide vaccine injuries.

The BMJ, however, has found that the FDA's algorithm was mathematically compromised by the deluge of covid vaccine adverse event reports--resulting in a near total loss of signal detection sensitivity for the new mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna. Top FDA officials were warned internally of this problem in early 2021, and the official who headed its pharmacovigilance division for vaccines commented more than two years later to his CDC and FDA colleagues: "We were aware of this [data mining] limitation before and during the pandemic." Government documents also show that CDC officials were informed during rollout of the vaccines--on multiple occasions.
Yet instead of fixing the safety deficiency--or shutting down the unreliable signal detection system--officials continued to rely on the FDA's broken algorithm. The officials also cited the absence of signals when assuring clinicians and the public of the vaccines' safety.
At the FDA, managers went a step further by silencing the career drug safety officer who had repeatedly brought the deficiency to their attention and had offered an updated algorithm intended to fix it. As a result, Americans received unfounded assurances of the safety of the most widely used covid vaccines and were denied prompt warnings of potential harms, The BMJ's investigation found.

...

"I'm perplexed that myocarditis isn't alerting"
In late February 2021, CDC and FDA officials received notice of "a large number of reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people," after vaccination. The warnings of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) came from the Israeli Ministry of Health. In a private meeting five weeks later, the Israelis informed a CDC convened covid vaccine safety committee that two of the 77 vaccinated people with myocarditis or pericarditis had died.
The next week, the same committee heard from the Pentagon's Defense Health Agency, which reported a "cluster of cases" of myocarditis among male US military members.
US public health officials remained sceptical of a link to the new mRNA vaccines. "We have not seen a signal [for myocarditis], and we've actually looked intentionally for the signal in the over 200 million doses we've given," CDC director Walensky told reporters.
By May 2021, VAERS had received hundreds of reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after covid vaccinations, and the CDC began alerting healthcare professionals. While the agency was still unsure of a causal relationship, it decided to alert physicians more broadly through a "clinical considerations" web posting.
But oncologist Peter Marks, who as director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research was the agency's top covid vaccine regulator, objected. He questioned the CDC's imminent website announcement, emailing Walensky directly, highlighting the lack of any safety signal from the government's own surveillance: "We still have concerns here [at the FDA] if myocarditis and pericarditis have not actually signaled . . . Can you help me understand why we are doing this when pediatricians and others in the community already seem to be aware?"
...
Still, VAERS reports continued to mount, with myocarditis attracting the greatest attention. In a June 2021 public presentation, the CDC's Shimabukuro showed that, for young males (age 12-24), VAERS had received between 29 and 347 times more myocarditis and pericarditis reports than the agency expected based on background incidence rates. In a public statement that day, the CDC dubbed myocarditis an "extremely rare side effect."
Government records show that, the day before his presentation, Shimabukuro had received the FDA's latest data mining report--and it continued to show no signal. "I'm perplexed that myocarditis isn't alerting for either of the mRNA vaccines," Shimabukuro emailed a colleague.

Early warnings
The BMJ can reveal that the FDA's algorithm failed to signal a potential relationship between mRNA covid vaccination and myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, tinnitus, and other reported disorders owing to a flaw in the detection methodology--a flaw that senior officials declined to rectify.

If I understand the next section, I believe they are saying the FDA's and CDC's faulty algorithm compared covid "vaccine" VAERS reports to all VAERS reports, and would only flag the "vaccines" as problematic if they showed many more VAERS reports than all other reports.

But the problem is -- and this should have been obvious -- that 90% of the public was "vaccinated" with the covid "vaccines," so if you compared "vaccine" incident rates to all reported incident rates -- they were practically the same number. The FDA and CDC used an algorithm to detect a covid "vaccine" signal against the sea of all other incidents, but covid "vaccines" were so common, numbering the many tens of millions, that covid "vaccine" incidents were the sea they were checking against.

It's like a Venn diagram where the circles almost completely overlap. If you're comparing "vaccine" incidents to "background" incidents but "vaccine" incidents make up 90% of the background, everytime you check, you'll find that "vaccine" incidents are very similar to "background" incidents, because "background" incidents are made up mostly of vaccine "incidents."

And thus, they kept claiming: We don't see any pronounced spike of "vaccine" incidents compared to all other incidents, without telling you that the background data they were checking against was mostly covid "vaccine" data.

The problem arose because, in the first year of the rollout, almost all the reports coming into VAERS--more than 90% of 1.1 million--were for the mRNA covid shots, dwarfing vaccines for all other diseases. This meant that analysing the safety of one vaccine, for example Pfizer's product, involved comparing it to other vaccines, which were overwhelmingly limited to Moderna's product. But if both mRNA vaccines elevated the risk of an adverse event like myocarditis in roughly equal amounts, the "observed" frequency and "expected" frequency would be similar, resulting in no automated alert. The statistical phenomenon is known as "masking."

And I wonder if this "masking" effect was accidental, or intended.

Imagine if you wanted to see if covid was affecting ethnic Chinese people more than non-ethnic Chinese people. In China. So you compare the rates of ethnic Chinese people in China to all people in China, and find that there is no difference between ethnic Chinese people and all people in China.

But your data for "all" people in China is 95% ethnic Chinese! Of course you found no difference in the rates of infection! You're comparing Data Set A to Data Set A + 5% other data and finding the two are barely different at all!

No more than 5% different, in fact! Not statistically significant!

Szarfman and DuMouchel, who earned his PhD at Yale and by 2010 became chief statistician at Oracle Health Sciences, judged that the unique circumstances of the pandemic meant that the FDA's approach was missing safety signals...
"Regarding the NYT article, I am quite concerned," Szarfman emailed Marks two days later. She wrote that the agency should be "clamoring to fix this problem." < Szarfman concluded, "Let me know if you want Bill DuMouchel and I to discuss our proposal for more effective monitoring, including the need to use an updated algorithm by DuMouchel for data mining spontaneous reports."
...
Marks and his staff, however, declined to alter the FDA's existing approach--and agency officials did not publicly warn of the deficiency with finding safety signals. When Szarfman continued to press the matter, she was told, with diplomatic flourish, to back off.
That email, sent on 7 May 2021, by Craig Zinderman, associate director for medical policy in FDA's Office of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, began: "Good Afternoon Ana, Thank you again for talking with us back in March about your work exploring new data mining approaches . . . We are writing to kindly ask you to please hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses using covid-19 vaccine AE [adverse event] data."

I would say "incredible" but we have seen again and again that 90% of the output from government, from NGOs, from academia, from corporations is pure fraud on the public.

14 The thing about this:

-Doctors got kickbacks. Politicians got kickbacks. Bureaucrats got kickbacks.

The truly astounding thing is I am not sure there is a good historical parallel. This is a nexus in a lot of different things: widespread testing of a dangerous medication. Government covered it up. This is far worse than even the Tuskegee Syphilis thing.

Maybe Thalidomide? Mercury for Syphilis treatment?

But I can't think of one where it was a bad treatment but the government not only covered it up, but tried to wholesale force it on everyone.

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

If you want the flu, sure. They NEVER get the strain right, so usually the flu shot is worthless.

However, they're pushing it to be mRNA as well, so it too is being designed to kill you.

86 They are doing something very similar in many studies that use national health data to show no injuries. In those, they use the national database comparing injuries fro all people vaccinated, to the general public. The problem is that they are only looking at people who had interaction with the health system (retrospective study) but that excludes anyone with no vaccine, who did not get sick.

I can go into more detail if asked, but there are a bunch of studies in Europe considered the "gold standard" in proving the vaccines are safe, and they are all total bullshit.

Do you though?

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

It's all about base turnout now since only 3 House races that the GOP won in 2024 Trump also lost (it was 25 in 2018 ). Just get those voters to turnout at decent midterm numbers, and bob's your uncle.

We'll see.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the NC senate seat specifically, the House generally, but I'm certain we'll keep the senate majority.

128 Flu IS different because it constantly dips into animal populations and comes back out in different variations. That's why the flu vaccine is so untrustworthy. It is also why you can pretty much get 'flu' an infinite amount of times.

I also wonder, for childhood deadly diseases, vaccines make sense. But for chicken pox?

To me, I wonder if we should just strip down the vaccine schedule to the bare necessities and then go with normal palliative care for everything else to strengthen the immune system.

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

162 I do think the government estimates of how many people got the clot shot are significantly off, perhaps by 50%

When Mayor Wu was elected in Boston she threatened vaxports to go restaurants.

Government stats said 90% of Bostonians and 80% of Massholes were clot shotted.

She had an AMA right after this - every comment was demanding she resign (which points pretty strongly at voter fraud too), but she planned to go ahead until the Boston restaurant lobby group told her to expect most restaurants would go bankrupt if she did

Now remember at the time the FNM was screaming unclot shotted people would give you COVID even if you had the clot shot and that you couldn't get it from "the vaccinated". SO it would be fair to expect they'd get more of the 90% then they'd lose of the 10% doesn't it?

Unless, of course that number was significantly lower then 90%...

186 Should I get a flu vaccine?

The CDC says it reduces flu symptoms which cuts against the actual concrete mortality data which says it does not.

Non-CDC data says the impact is real but extremely minimal which would bridge the gap between those two data sets if you assume the CDC is cherry picking for higher effectiveness.

So my take? It isn't worth the time to go to your DR and expose yourself to likely other flu carriers but the shot itself won't harm you like the clot shot.

A discarded Tesla Powerwall set a garbage truck on fire in Citrus Heights, California

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

I still think the safe bet is that Democrats take the House, but with a majority of like 3-5.

So, Jeffries can't do anything of consequence other than theater, and he probably will have trouble getting pro-forma impeachment stuff passed on the floor, not like if he did it would matter since the Senate will still be controlled by the GOP.

And not even Mitch took impeachment efforts seriously, and Thune is better than Mitch.

201 While there was malicious intent with the clot shot a lot of it was driven by people believing other people's propaganda.

So someone looking at clot shot side effects sees how bad they are but turns on the news and sees that COVID is killing 10% of the people that get it and decides "heart damage later is better then dying now" so he hides his data

Meanwhile someone research COVID mortality sees that is nowhere near what the government is claiming but see the clot shot has no side effects whatsoever so...why not fudge the numbers to get people vaccinated so we can "get back to normal"?

See the lasted on Tamiflu. Turns out that actually does way more harm than good for patients very sick and hospitalized with flu.

Whatley is as responsible for the turnaround of the RNC in 2024 as anyone else.

I remember establishment friendly voices against his appointment to cochair the RNC because he was "obsessed with the steal" of 2020 and wouldn't actually do anything to win other than complain about past sins.

There have also been some changes at the state level, like new election laws and forcing all police agencies in the state to participate in the 287g program with DHS, which should help drive out some illegals and suppress the 6% who probably vote every election, both passed over governor Stein's veto because the NC state legislature has a veto proof GOP majority.

This is actually the legal attack that needs to be made.

The shots were never vaccines, they were gene modification therapies... and since they are NOT vaccines, should not be covered under the law that protects vaccine makers from lawsuits.

A Bureaucrat changing a definition on a website, does not change a LEGAL definition... which would be the definition used when they passed the legislation.

Then you've got the Hollow Earth where the big hole to get inside is down there somewhere (and also up around the north pole too).

And then you've got the Flat Earth ice wall stuff. And they all sort of get all that mixed up themselves. Even the Flat Earthers sometimes have holes in the Flat Pizza doing stuff.

That's a pretty vacuous application of the law. The law is supposed to set rules. Any law including the word "infinite" without defining each and every applicable party is contradictive to the purpose of the law or, more specifically, suggests that no law was required.

I guess I'm a reprobate, because my first instinct was to decide how such an open ended application can be abused. Techincally, you could indentify as the most reprehensible, bigoted, racist, disgusting "gender" of your own concoction and claim to be protected.

Plot holes on top of plot holes. Horrendous acting and dialogue. I remember watching that scene where the cabin is filling up with water, and the two main characters are yelling back an forth to each other while trying to get out. They are the only two in the room....and yet EVERY SINGLE LINE is preceded by the one character shouting the other's name. It ruined the entire (supposedly pivotal) scene. It was ridiculous.

391 Years ago the info I found in 2020 is no longer on the Internet. Regarding why mRNA, in the first trials of vaccines in the 1990's (I think) stalled. No longer found.

The search of "does mRNA change DNA" meets with a resounding no in 2026. I read information that it did in 2020.

My own guess is to now cover for all the former "rare" cancers being seen in young people. Rare brain cancers. Rare appendix cancer as well (a wide range of rare colon cancers). The first boy I loved, a year before I met bf/husband, died of one of these that was 1:1million rare... in 5mo.

I think pericarditis, etc, in the young and fit was due to their robust immune response to the foreign vaccine in their bodies. Similar to the cytokine storm deaths the influenza caused in 1918.

The vax we took as a family was J&J due to air travel. No problems. I kept our sons/DIL and future DIL from taking the mRNA due to, in a normal world, 10yrs of human trial to ok a vaccine. I read about the impact on DNA.

If UV sunlight changes DNA in humans to give skin cancer, this supports the theory that a messenger RNA virus could do the same.

The mRNA treatment for specific cancers is worth a try for some.

THE MORNING RANT: By the Logic of Free Traders, Shouldn't Trump's Tariffs Be Good for Canada and its Consumers

There is something puzzling about the U.S. / Canadian trade war and the concern that Trump-hating “free traders”* have on how this will affect Canada. [*Actual free trade involves reciprocity, but those now identifying as “free traders” argue for unilateral surrender to foreign mercantilism, even when it involves hostile nations such as China.]

It is widely accepted that if President Trump doesn’t dial back his tariffs, Canadian industry will be devastated, its economy will be thrown into recession, and there will be widespread job losses and layoffs in Canada. I would agree that all sounds awful for Canadians, but over the past few decades, American “free traders” have argued in favor of inflicting on the U.S. the same economic despair that Trump is imposing on Canada. Free traders consider a dying industrial town in the Midwest to be a success story, while they sneer at the despair of their countrymen who have lost the dignity of employment. Closed American factories and a gross trade imbalance with hostile powers are celebrated by free traders.

Where are all the think pieces from Principled Free Traders arguing that it will benefit Canada to roll over and surrender in its trade war with the U.S., since that is the argument they make for U.S. capitulation to China?

David Harsanyi is representative of America’s “free trade” political class, arguing repeatedly that American economic sovereignty is bad, while dependence on hostile foreign countries is desirable. At least that is the clear message I receive. He has written for many legacy conservative publications, repeatedly arguing for economic surrender to China because it would help American consumers save money, while embracing China’s trade barriers on U.S. products. A few years ago Mr. Harsanyi wrote “Now, admittedly, I support nearly unlimited trade, no matter what other nations do.” He went on to say, “Let's hope trade doesn't get ‘fair’ for us any time soon.” Mr. Harsanyi even expresses his ideal of zero U.S. steel production, dismissing the argument that a domestic steel industry is necessary for national defense.

By these arguments, shouldn’t Canadians also hope that their trade war “doesn’t get fair any time soon”? Shouldn’t Canadians embrace tariffs that destroy their export market? Shouldn’t Canada seek the elimination of every possible job so as to lower consumer prices? And wouldn’t any retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada be a “tax on Canadian consumers” that should be avoided at all cost?

How devastating are the tariffs going to be for our northern neighbor if an agreement is not reached? A piece in the Globe and Mail titled “What Trump’s new tariffs mean for Canada’s economy” identifies multiple economic catastrophes, including:

• A collapse in exports that would reverse Canada’s GDP growth.
• Elimination up to 20% of jobs in many industries, including apparel and electrical equipment
• Devastation of Canada’s liquor industry.
• Serious harm to agriculture, especially Canada’s dairy industry
• Devastation of British Columbia’s lumber industry

The same free traders who cheered for the shuttering of American industry are suddenly worried about Canada, and defending Canada’s need to impose retaliatory tariffs. Go figure. It’s almost as if the abiding principal of “principled free traders” is that they are anti-American globalists who embrace economic policies that harm America while benefiting other countries.

Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, just stated that tariffs are necessary to protect Canada, arguing that the cost of tariffs “don’t come close to the cost of standing still.”

Free traders swooned in concurrence with PM Carney. “The Editors” at National Review defended Canadian retaliatory tariffs, arguing that it was a necessary escalation by Canada because the U.S. tariffs are a “blow for Canadian exporters.”

This is the same National Review that repeatedly argues for giving China unfettered, tariff-free access to the American market, irrespective of China’s trade barriers against American exports. Why would NR make this argument? Because, tariffs are a tax on American consumers, of course. Strangely, that same logic doesn’t apply to Canadian consumers when Canada is tariffing American products due to a trade war.

It’s almost as if the underlying “principal” among the “free traders” isn’t actually free trade, rather it is a globalist, America-last attitude that seeks to harm the U.S. economically for the benefit of other countries.

Steel is still a good example, but chips are a better one. Should we allow China to simply take over any market they desire, using dumping and other strategies incompatible with an actual free market? What happens when we run out of missiles during an attack? What happens to the overall economy when the Chinese deny us the chips it relies on? Harsanyi doesn't seem concerned, but I am.

I guess one has to break a whole lot of eggs to make Harsanyi's omelet.

A few years ago Mr. Harsanyi wrote “Now, admittedly, I support nearly unlimited trade, no matter what other nations do.” He went on to say, “Let's hope trade doesn't get ‘fair’ for us any time soon.” Mr. Harsanyi even expresses his ideal of zero U.S. steel production, dismissing the argument that a domestic steel industry is necessary for national defense.

31 This is the same National Review that repeatedly argues for giving China unfettered, tariff-free access to the American market, irrespective of China’s trade barriers against American exports. Why would NR make this argument? Because, tariffs are a tax on American consumers, of course. Strangely, that same logic doesn’t apply to Canadian consumers when Canada is tariffing American products due to a trade war.

I LOVED watching Scott Jennings point out to CNN that tariffs (which CNN 'opposes') get passed on to consumers in the exact same way corporate interest taxes (which CNN favors) get passed on to consumers.

"I don’t know quite how to ask this question, but I suspect that a lot of Americans are about to, so I’ll put it as directly as I can: Are Canadians stupid?

A recent poll found that a majority of Canadians, including a whopping three-quarters of Quebecers, believe that U.S. foreign policy was the root cause of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This shouldn’t be so shocking; their previous prime minister, Jean Chretien, said practically the same thing a few years back (which I wrote about in NRO here.) In other words, they believe that the Americans brought 9/11 on themselves."

Kamala Harris to Hit the Campaign Trail With Michigan Senate Nominee Abdul El-Sayed

El-Sayed should read this article before he does that.

More Humiliating News for Kamala Harris

The donor class certainly won’t bet on her again. She lost every swing state in 2024 despite raising and spending more than $1 billion to do it. Sorry, they’ll bet on someone else. Anyone else.

Now we’re learning that Democrat Party insiders knew Kamala was a losing bet before she ever got the job. Internal 2024 polling ranked her dead last among the candidates being considered to replace Joe Biden atop the ticket.

Lindy Li, a longtime Democrat fundraiser who worked on both the Biden campaign and Kamala's, watched it happen up close. Li ... lays out what she saw in her new book, Unburdened, which covers the months leading up to Biden's withdrawal from the race. "The polling numbers went directly against the narrative that the party wanted to espouse," Li said.

Party members floated Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer internally as replacements. According to Li, every one of them tested better than Kamala.

Everything we do involves the bribery of our politicians. But that's not all of it.

We started, about 15 minutes after the close of WW II, about the global business of trying to buy the world's loyalty through unfavorable trade deals. We built that habit over five decades.

When the USSR fell ? We never stopped.

The fall of the USSR, and our subsequent refusal to change behaviors and eliminate agencies created precisely for the Cold War, explains so, so much of why we're where we are.

Posted by: illiniwek at September 18, 2026 11:24 AM (vbXSk)

The way to think about it is in terms of economic integration. Countries with which you have free trade(or relatively free trade) have integrated economies with yours. You also have indirect integration to economies they have free trade with(corresponding to the degree of freedom).

Small countries must necessarily trade and specialize. There's a lot of important questions, like "is this country likely to be my enemy in the future", "is this country a reliable source of supply or unstable", "is the supply chain defensible or vulnerable to wars/piracy" etc.

Additionally you'd also want the basis for the trade to be something beyond labor arbitrage. As in, "this country has accessible resources we do not", or at least a specialization of some sort it makes sense to outsource rather than develop internally.

Also affects business to business sales, but somewhat differently.

166 Canada is completely controlled by "sidewalk people" who live their entire lives encircled by sidewalks.

They think a trade deal with Europe makes sense because it's only a few hours away as they only ever travel there via airplane.
So they've no way to conceptualize that it's farther. That the goods they ship to the US in a few hours will now take a few days.

Almost no one in the world wants to admit that the US would crush any country--militarily and economically--but for the handcuffs we've put on ourselves.
Which has gone on for so long, they all now think it's natural.

I think what you're seeing is the publicizing of the Democrat's civil war. Black voters in South Carolina and Michigan guarantee Kamala takes all of their delegates, and she'll get half of Nevada's. Those are the first three states, which the DNC rigged, ensuring she's the nominee.

Because there is no more dedicated Dem voter than a black woman. None.

I can't get past the initial dirt taste I get from Scotch. I have tasted the real expensive ones and white it is smoother, I still get that taste frm any Scotch I've drunk, with the exception of The Balvenie 12 doublewood, which is OK. But since I have a strong preference for wheated bourbons my not liking Scotch at all probably makes sense.

For Bourbon, Weller Antique 107 is my favorite.

Well, after my first swig, I thought, "Hey, this stuff isn't bad." So I just poured myself a cup and started swigging regardless of my one-handed catching skills.

By the time we actually made it to the stadium I was wiped out. One of the campus cops came and got me and drove me to the drunk tank, where my friends later came and got me.

53 It's somehow unsettling how there are suggestions of motion in the painting, but no overall feeling of movement. The crashing waves, the fisherman's lean, the bent pole, the very nature of the seashore... it should have some sense of dynamic movement, but I'm just not feeling it. It's peculiar, because it is technically good on so many other levels.

75 Although I like much of Bellows' style many of his scenes are cityscapes of various kinds which have little appeal. However, his scenes of nature use the same techniques of movement and color and light in images I enjoy. This is one. He really captured the colors of the water as it surges and breaks against the rocks with the light greens of shallows into the blues of the deeper water and the white foam as waves break against the shore. The rounded look of the rocks, worn by wave action, is so true. The fisherman's posture is correct and the bend in the rod as well. The style is realistic without being a photo.

Anyone who has fished the surf as it breaks against rocks will identify with this image. You can hear the ocean, smell the water and feel the wind and damp in the air.

157 The Fisherman, 1917
George Bellows

A very nice week of art. Thanks. Though some may say today's selection is missing mermaids and at least one dog, imo it's a fine one & it would likely hang.

So, is there a link?

Yes. Again from the Carter Handbook, 2023, and credited to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas:

"Although best known as a painter of gritty urban scenes, Bellows created more than 250 seascapes, most portraying the Atlantic Coast in Maine. But he turned his attention to the Pacific in 1917, when his family vacationed in the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on the northern tip of Big Sur. There, he created this work, one of his last major ocean paintings.

Bellows was fascinated by the bright colors of the Pacific, and he relied on a jewellike palette of brilliant blues, greens, purples, pinks, and ochres to render water crashing against a rocky coastline. He considered the sea one of the most challenging subjects to paint, and the lone angler maneuvering his line may symbolize the struggle of the artist as he grappled with his chosen subject."

Good weekend!

197 Nice picture. Hey, it sums up nicely my work with AI this morning.

From smalldeadanimals, so our trade war is going great! We're led by the best and brightest.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s summit urging global investors to “Choose Canada” was produced by an American events firm — despite Carney recently pledging that Ottawa would contract Canadian companies and hire Canadian workers.

The inaugural Canada Investment Summit in Toronto brought together investors who manage more than $100 trillion in assets from nearly 30 countries as part of Carney’s push to catalyze $1 trillion in investment over five years.

Analysts say over $1 trillion in investment abandoned Canada

But the summit’s producer was E2K Events x Entertainment, operated by California-based Olmstead Productions Inc.

E2K’s own privacy notice identifies the American company as the summit’s producer. It also says E2K and its subcontractors provided services including event production, delegate services, staffing, transportation, printing, photography and video.

During the crusades the Christians lost Jerusalem after the battle at Hattin. Richard the Lionhearted got it back and then later they lost it again.

But in the 1200s one Muslim ruler just...gave it back to them...because he wanted an alliance. I guess the whole "yeah Jerusalem is our holy city too honest!" thing wasn't as import back then...

It's basically Claude AI slop with "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon."

229 The Kennedy Center, only built in the mid-1960s, is falling apart and poses physical dangers just trying to keep it operational.

For example, for many years, there was nothing but friable asbestos issues in all of the mechanical spaces in which private contractors were routinely working to keep all kinds of piping, electrical, AC systems in operation.

Additionally, plans showed asbestos had been sprayed as fireproofing directly onto the steel framework of the building. Over 26,000 square feet of asbestos-containing insulation was found on the steel structures alone.

Even if contractors didn't disturb it, with air movements, leaking ceilings, etc. it became friable sooner or later. Simply put, the structure itself and all of its mechanical and electrical parts were old & often repaired or replaced in part.

The Kennedy Center is operated and controlled through a shared responsibility between both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government. The legislative branch would usually bring in the contractors and the executive branch often had to inspect the contractors upon receiving complaints for incompliance with standards (OSHA, etc.).

Every American politician was a "white supremacist" and a "nazi" by the current leftwing standard until around 2012 or so. And yes this includes minority politicians. Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign stands would get you labeled a NAZI today...He doesn't support trans rights! Or gay marriage! Or going to war with Russia! Or clot shotting people!

Obama's record on immigration in his first term was actually better than W's.

It was after the shellacking of 2010 and the surprise underperformance in 2012 (which they overcame with cheating) that they suddenly started counting border turnaways as deportations, starting the statistics games that made him look better while upping asylum acceptances.

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

He is a Disruptor.

His shtick is to shove [current thing] down the audience's throat, and when some of them complain, the woke mob swarms to demonize him.

Previously, he had a song w/an LGBTQ activist singer celebrating queer love. When they performed it at the Grammies (because of course it was nominated), dozens of gay couples positioned themselves throughout the venue, and then they paused the song to perform a mass gay marriage ceremony. Captive audience, that no doubt included some conservative Gospel and Country artists, were forced to participate.

He is an a$$hole activist from Seattle, and he will do something just as obnoxious when the next [new thing] comes along. It's not about SSM or Palestine, it's about making a normal event into and activist brawl, where others are forced to support or be eaten by the mob. The mob is already busy destroying Ed Sheeran.

The Morning Report — 9/ 18 /26

Good morning kids. continuing with the theme over this past week of our corrupt judicial system, we have a bit of encouraging news, not that I expect real justice to be served, but still...

Earlier this week, a federal judge made a shocking charge: Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s district attorney for nearly a decade, may be guilty of “perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.” Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and one of his top deputies, Matthew Stiegler, to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate potential federal crimes.

As we all know, or should know Krasner is a bought and paid for agent provocateur of anti-American traitor and bustout proud admitted Nazi war criminal/collaorator George Soros. Here's a bit of Krasner's rap sheet courtesy of the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks. Keep this website handy as it is a go-to resource of the who's who of traitors destroying America from within

Running as a Democrat, Krasner stated that his top priority as District Attorney “will be ending mass incarceration in Philadelphia.” Said his campaign website: “The cost of imprisoning one person for a year pays the salary of a young public school teacher, social worker, or police officer engaging in appropriate community policing. Resources could instead be invested in job training and addiction treatment. Mass incarceration simply won’t heal our torn social fabric, and does not make us safer.”
...Policy of Non-Prosecution & Non-Incarceration Krasner was sworn in as Philadelphia D.A. on January 1, 2018. Soon thereafter, he issued a non-prosecution policy memo to the attorneys in his office, mandating that criminal prosecutions for various offenses should be either minimized or abolished altogether. As a result of Krasner’s new guidelines, it became commonplace for the Philadelphia D.A. office to drop criminal charges against even the most dangerous defendants. Between January and September of 2020, for example, Krasner’s office dropped charges on more than 60% of all shooting cases in the city, as well as 37% of illegal firearms cases.

THIS TWISTED Bastard and his coven have devoted themselves to the destabilization of society which has the net effect of destroying it, the goal of the Anti-American American Left and Democrat Party for decades.

Again as we all know or should know, besides Krasner, every major and many minor urban areas as well as states have DAs and Attorneys General bought and paid for by George Soros.

The Democrat Party and Its Supporters Are a Hive, Part Three
Completing analysis of the modern American leftwing power network.

Progressive DA network: The Hive’s investment in local prosecutorial elections transforms local law enforcement into a policy instrument—declining to prosecute certain categories of offense (shoplifting below $950 in California, drug possession, trespassing) effectively nullifies legislation.

Yeah, surprise surprise, this is who they have running for senator in Arkansas

Arkansas Democrat Senate nominee Hallie Shoffner vowed to "redirect" the "considerable resources of the federal government" away from "punishment" and toward "treatment and compassion" as part of a push to spend taxpayer money "in an equitable fashion," video footage reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon shows.

Meh this filthy slag is representative of every single Democrat running for office at every level. Compassion for the criminals and degenerates but not for the victims, since We the People are the criminals who have to be punished for the original sin of America as founded

Until they're forced to whistle a different tune.

Minister at Talarico’s Austin Church Says Woke Senate Hopeful is Shifting Positions to Win Over Moderate Voters “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was," said Reverand Babs Miller, 83, a lesbian minister at the parish at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

Somebody please for the love of all that is just and good reassure me that this bastard doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of actually winning a senate seat in Texas. ¡Hay Caramba!

The radical ally of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said in an interview Thursday that the United States has committed more terrorism than the radical Islamic group behind 9/11.
Hasan Piker told Axios that, “pound for pound,” the United States had killed more people than al-Qaeda, the organization that plotted and carried out the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Piker, a popular leftist streamer who once said America “deserved 9/11,” has campaigned alongside El-Sayed.

SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power. No way Krasner will face any real justice but once the head-choppers and clit-clippers rule the roost his head will roll soon thereafter as history has shown us time and again once allies of convenience are no longer needed.

Have a great weekend one and all.

CIVIL WAR 2.0, LEFTIST PERSECUTIONS, DEMOCRAT PUTSCH, AMERICAN DISSOLUTION

8 Willowed:

Made the decision to run a whispering campaign to win a write-in vote for a minor local office. I would work with the guy that replaced me when my health led me to resign during my second term.

In the Primary, with no name on the ballot, the highest write-in vote person had 3 votes. This is a case of your "friends" putting your name on the ballots. Sorta the reverse of a popularity contest. No one wrote my name in during the primary.

16 Crossroads Trump says he has a ‘big decision’ coming up on Iran: ‘Do I want to go in and annihilate them?’

I can't help but get the feeling that America was envious of Russia being in an endless and pointless low intensity "war", but improving on it by only grinding on the matériel, and losing political power rather than also ending blood lines.

To the point that Congress would step in and say "Stop It" and cut off the funding. That is an absolute certainty if the US votes in a Communist controlled House a/o Senate.

The endless war strategery could have worked this time: because of war we need to wave off the litigation and red tape to open up domestic REM mining and other impediments that are cast aside when on a war footing.

But Congress and half the population hates America more than their own macro economic and social survival.

26 Driving past a gas station sign is like looking at a weather barometer for our national economy. Worse, it’s also a barometer for the likely outcome of the midterm elections. And that’s a shame for any number of reasons.

This is a classic example of propaganda. If you are not constantly immersed in the political social media world, it is not a natural connection of high gasoline prices mean vote for a different party.

This is projection based on being far too stupid to realize that if you make that association you are following a crafted narrative by a party that as a matter of deliberate policy sadistically increases gasoline prices—simply because its a flex.

Remember the "I Did That" Joe Biden pump stickers? It had no real political value, but it made the political neurotics in the Demonic Party seethe. Which I believe was the actual point. It didn't educate anyone, it was a meme to put some of the more volatile Leftists on tilt.

There was realignment during the Climate Change™ scam, the Covid-1984™ coup d'etat, there is another for Tariffs, another for Belt & Road Initiative. The whole Donroe Doctrine of the Communist rejecting wave in so many countries in the Western Hemisphere had nothing to do with cleaning up after Israel's head strike adventure in Iran.

People who are being prosecuted for actions which are constitutionally protected are having an easier time defending themselves. Government persecutors aghast.

His health suffered from that pressure, all those cigarettes, and lack of rest.

True story: My great-uncle was a senior economist in Ike's administration. As a Christmas present one year, he received a copy of Ike's watercolor portrait of Washington. My cousin gave me the print last year and it now hangs in my living room.

A, at this point, I want Trump to put his name on half the buildings in DC to keep the locals triggered

B, IIRC, the Institute of Peace building was incredibly posh, with its staffers paid incredibly well whileno one outside of DC had ever heard of the place/part of the US government.

Also, that's the one that literally barricaded the doors to prevent DOGE from entering, right? They are a sketchy bunch who were obviously acting outside the law and using a ton of taxpayer money to do it.

The only reason I doubt that is because Beshear surely knew his true condition throughout.

The Democratic National Committee racked up two of its biggest grassroots fundraising months in a midterm cycle this summer, bringing in more than $14 million combined in July and August.

And, I have good news,
But the DNC’s strength with small-dollar donors doesn’t close the gaping hole in the party committee’s bank account, especially when compared to the Republican National Committee. As of July, the DNC had $16 million in cash on hand, but $18 million in debts. The RNC ended July with more than $130 million in cash.

174 Why Egypt won’t touch Yemen - I read up some background on that once since a) inhibiting traffic through the Suez truly does cost them a lot of money, and b) by the numbers, they have one of the largest military forces in the region.

The reason - in the 60’s, Leader Nasser decided that Yemen was weak and that Egypt needed to expand its influence, so he ordered his clearly superior army to invade Yemen. What followed was called “Nasser’s Vietnam”, in which the mighty Egyptian army got its ass kicked. Many military careers were destroyed, Nasser fell from power later in the decade.

The Egyptian military is still scared to death of engaging with Yemen and will never go back, much like America would never fight another ground war in Vietnam.

And he accused the Jewish state of fomenting other "false flag" attacks, including the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia, in which ISIS-inspired radicals murdered 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration on Dec. 14, 2025. . .

"I'm also really excited… you know Bassem Youssef, fellow Egyptian," said El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan to Egyptian immigrants. El-Sayed's mother worked for an Islamic nonprofit that was sanctioned for raising money for al Qaeda.

"He's hilarious," El-Sayed said of Youssef.

- Rs have like a $1 billion cash advantage; and have just started spending (Dems have been spending all summer)

264 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

From above, "SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power."

To support your logic and concerns on both fronts:
👉 Broad + Liberty: Thom Nickels: How Pa’s Muslim population is reshaping its politics — and its governor, August 28, 2026

And Larry K. appears to be their guy.

AI: Krasner has frequently utilized a unified front with Muslim, Christian, and Jewish clergy to push back against federal intervention in the city. When the Trump administration threatened to deploy National Guard units or heavily expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations within democratic-led cities, Krasner aligned closely with local imams (such as Imam Kenneth Nuriddin of the Philadelphia Masjid) to denounce the actions as overreaching and safely shield immigrant and faith communities from federal crackdowns.

265 Amid rising political tensions and localized incidents—such as the federal arson indictment involving the Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center—Krasner’s office has campaigned intensely for stronger protections. In mid-2026, Krasner released a comprehensive report calling for immediate state legislative reform to expand Pennsylvania's narrow hate-crime statutes, aiming to better identify, document, and prosecute bias-motivated crimes targeting religious and minority groups.

A central tenet of Krasner's intervention strategy has been bypassing traditional policing to invest directly in neighborhood-level infrastructure. His office utilizes violence prevention microgrants (reallocated from civil asset forfeiture funds) to back community organizations. This includes funding grassroots and faith-adjacent groups in heavy Muslim corridors like Germantown and West Philadelphia (such as the Men of Courage gardening/mentorship initiative and the DATA CoLab pilot) to tackle gun violence and provide restorative justice alternatives for young adults.

Krasner’s economic crime interventions have also directly targeted exploitation within local sub-communities.

The core problem was have with crime is the 1% who can and will consistently commit violent acts can only be stopped by execution or imprisonment.

We've had an explosion of crime because we've stopped imprisoning them and you constantly see stories of some outrage or other committed by a 20-something with more convictions then years on this earth who was free to murder, rob, and rape...

Protected Classes: The scope covers over two dozen protected statuses, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, and source of income.

She said that Philly has always been a shady, crime filled place, but there was a certain method to the crime so yeah you could get your drugs, your sex, or whatever other illicit stuff you wanted, but you wouldn't get stabbed for no reason and there was a sense of community and all that's changed.

My guess is what she was seeing is a move from the old style Democrat/Mob politics that Northeastern cities used to have to the newer Democrat/Illegal alien gang politics that now rule them.

Twenty-seven FBI field offices were working fraud cases that looked local. Then Washington finally put the data in the same room.

What emerged wasn't dozens of unrelated problems. The FBI says investigators connected over 40 cases to the same strategic threat and the same group of overseas actors.
The discovery came through the new National Fraud Detection Center, launched in August. The center brings together information from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, IRS Criminal Investigation, Treasury, FinCEN, inspectors general, state agencies, and others.

Instead of examining one suspicious student loan, Medicare payment, or SBA loan at a time, investigators can search for connections across programs and jurisdictions. The center uses data analytics and AI to help spot patterns that individual offices might miss. . .

Key 2026 Updates and Requirements:
The permissible lookback period for misdemeanor convictions was reduced from seven years to four years (excluding incarceration periods), while felonies remain capped at a seven-year lookback.
Employers are strictly prohibited from considering summary offenses (minor infractions or citations).
Expunged or sealed records cannot be considered, even if they show up on a background report.
Job notices and advertisements mentioning background checks must explicitly state that screenings involve an individualized assessment tied to job requirements and specific records.
Before taking an adverse action, employers must supply a written notice in plain language containing the basis for the decision... (and much more).

It begins, "It's unclear which, if any, opening acts will accompany Ed Sheeran at his Philadelphia concert Saturday following Macklemore's controversial exit from the singer's Loop Tour. But pro-Palestinian groups will assemble near Lincoln Financial Field an hour before the show to welcome Sheeran with a protest.

Philly Palestine Coalition and Shut Down D&Z announced plans to demonstrate at NRG Station at 4:30 p.m. to "return the conversation to Palestine, and return Philadelphia to action." Neither group immediately clarified any demands they'd be making from Sheeran or the venue, nor how many people they expect to attend."

13 >>>Iran's strikes on Amazon data centers caused permanent loss of customer data.

"Customers" meaning "partner companies" who sell things, not "consumers," I think?

from the article:

AWS immediately urged customers to migrate resources to other cloud regions and use remote backups to restore any “inaccessible resources.”

The cloud service also reportedly issued $150 million in customer credits following the initial Iranian strikes in March.

Friend of mine sent me that article last night and this was his comment:

"Read the whole thing. You should really get your conspiracy theory on here, because these cameras are absolutely not just collecting license plates. This is full-spectrum surveillance of the kind the ChiComs have pioneered."

31 Wikipedia

Ronstadt has never married.

Speaking of finding an acceptable mate, in 1974 she told Peter Knobler in Crawdaddy, "... he's real kind but isn't inspired musically and then you meet somebody else that's just so inspired musically that he just takes your breath away but he's such a moron, such a maniac that you can't get along with him. And then after that it's the problem of finding someone that can stand you!"

It is depressing to realize that people mostly just project themselves onto others, without understanding. And then it's compounded by seeing that what they project is often such a profoundly banal, venal, shallow, grasping, unprincipled, and *small* mind that it's a wonder God doesn't just give up on us.

So many Westerners are the silliest of geese, just lazy faithless grifters imagining that Muzzies are the same and acting out for effect. A mind so small, they would struggle to wrap it around a grain of rice, let alone a genuinely alien worldview, mindset, instincts, goals, 'ethics' so-called, and so on.

54 I dreamed I was trying to get into a local mall, which apparently did not open until 11 am, to get a coffee. Somehow I managed to get a parking place in shade by a building (first illogic). Then I convinced a staffer to let us into the mall, as it was 10:54 already (second illogic). Finally I got to the coffee shop only to find they were out of cash and would take only credit cards (all too likely today). But their cookies were huge, a decent value (third illogic). I think my simple plain coffee plus cookie was going to be $12.45 or something, and I woke up.

Today Miss Linda is dragging me to another of those Friday luncheons at my old employer. The drive there and back is not bad, I can park without paying, the lunch is free, and who knows, the topic might be interesting. "Might" being the crucial word.

My apartment mismanagement left a notice on my door *yesterday* that I have until today to come in and get a new "gate card" and "gate code." I remember how well those worked in years gone by, so I'm not sanguine -- and annoyed by the fact that I got only a day's notice. If I were still working, it would be very hard for me to get to the office. They leave on the stroke of 4:59:30 pm if they don't sneak out earlier.

I know I bought it prior to 2012, when I used it during a power outage after a hurricane the week of the Repub Nat'l. Convention -- the one where Clint Eastwood spoke and addressed the "empty chair" that represented Obongo.

The new one is supposed to have pretty good SW reception. I'd like to be able to pick up WWV again for the time signal. The Grundig used to do it long ago.

The Ethos radio spots on iHeart shows like Hannity are damned annoying too. They give the impression that, if you have "up to $3 million" worth of insurance, who needs a husband. No, the widows speaking don't sound gleeful, but what you're left with is the idea that your husband could be worth more dead than alive.

96 Pixy, anything real to worry about with the Verge article other than how gullible AI scientists and Verge reporters are?

(When you train an AI on data that include reddit and sci-fi stories talking about how AI can successfully go rogue... and don't implement proper security.... and don't give it clear override-strength instruction not to go rogue.... and leave the keys out where they can be retrieved.. and hide the thought-logs from the end-user.... and encourage it to use any means necessary... and attribute human motivations to it because you don't understand the anthropic principle...)

It might be great if there was a widespread push (hint: Congress) to cap credit-card and bank loan interest rates at something relatively reasonable, like 10%. Admittedly, it might mean people who need it most might not get approved, but that happens already with unsecured loans, right?

Having all interest rates float wildly other than the one/handful that the Fed gets in the news for tweaking 0.25 percent or whatever is not helpful.

Abandoned plans for a city across from San Francisco.

Developers planned a city of 30,000 people in the hills directly across the Golden Gate from San Francisco

Two Spanish-tiled stucco gateposts once stood at the mouth of Tennessee Valley in Marin County, opening onto nothing at all.
Behind them a road climbed into the hills and stopped. It had been bulldozed wide enough to carry commuter traffic, because that was the entire idea. Those gates were the front door of Marincello, a city of 30,000 people planned for the slopes directly across the water from San Francisco. In the mid 1960s it came alarmingly close to existing.
***
Modesty was not a design feature. Fifty apartment towers, hundreds of houses and townhouses, 250 acres of light industry, a shopping mall running a full mile with ornamental pools and elephant trains, and a square ringed by churches and named Brotherhood Plaza. A hotel would crown the highest hill on the property. Hart costs the twenty-year build at $285 million in 1964 dollars.
An earlier draft was madder still. The Bay Area history archive FoundSF records a scheme originally drawn up for more than 150,000 residents, which the planning process eventually talked down to 30,000.
***
A state appellate court ruled on 2 November 1970 that the 1965 approval could not stand and the plan would have to be lodged again from scratch. A lawyer for Gulf Oil called it silly to kill a multimillion-dollar development on a technicality. Praetzel’s answer, years later, was that the technicality in question was the law.
***
Walk south from the Tennessee Valley car park and the track underfoot gets suspiciously wide.
This is the Marincello Trail, which the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy measures at 2.9 miles return with 694 feet of climb. The same data gives a typical tread of 120 inches, or ten feet of graded roadway, waiting on cars that never turned up.

So we missed out another blue shithole in California, right??

The headline here omits a very important word.

Many Venezuelan immigrants shun Florida and turn to smaller cities in Utah, elsewhere

Snow-covered mountains ringing a valley of wide, free-flowing roads remind Venezuelan transplants that the growing suburbs south of Salt Lake City offer what Miami can’t.
One million Venezuelans were released into the United States after crossing the Mexican border during a record immigration surge, and many shunned Miami and other longtime immigrant footholds for smaller places with less established communities — a pattern found in an exclusive Associated Press analysis of fedteral data from fall 2018 to summer 2025.
These cities and towns promised better jobs, cheaper homes, less traffic and higher quality of life, outweighing Florida’s allure of tropical weather and ease of getting by on Spanish alone.

***
After less than two weeks there, Vera and his mother accepted a cousin’s invitation to Utah. In the southern suburbs, with massive new housing tracts and pristine shopping centers, Vera found factory work but soon quit to turn a hobby baking for co-workers into his own business. Today he employs 15 people — many, like him, asylum seekers — at a warehouse and two bakeries.

That last sentence contains the clue as to the missing word.

Utah — known as a relatively immigrant-friendly state despite deep Republican roots and support for President Donald Trump — became a top destination for Venezuelans crossing the border, along with parts of the Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston metro areas, AP’s data show. Venezuelans also went to smaller cities including Madison, Wisconsin; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Savannah, Georgia.
It’s a pattern playing out across the U.S.: Some Cubans eschewed Florida and went to Louisville, Kentucky, and Odessa, Texas; Colombians chose the Boston and Denver areas; and Paterson, New Jersey, was the top pick among Peruvians.
These communities have both benefited from the influx of people and struggled to integrate their new arrivals.

"Struggled to integrate their new arrivals"??? How dare they not just make life easy for these "asylum seekers"?!?

Trump’s immigration crackdown instilled fear and made Venezuelans less visible since 2023, when arrivals peaked in Utah and in the United States as a whole. Everyone here seems to know someone who returned to Venezuela voluntarily because they feared being detained and deported or because they lost their work authorization.
***
Arrieta’s wife — co-owner Sandy Arrieta — wanted to stay open. But he believes nothing will turn around while Trump’s in office.
“Until the government changes, the problems will not end,” said Fidel, 65, who immigrated in 1994.

Saw some pushback in the comments on Tuesday against my semi-crusade against Flock. We can respectfully disagree. But you might want to skip past this segment.

Hackers find encryption keys stored on stolen Flock camera despite company's denials — group extracts more than 27,000 clips, 1.6 million images captured in a span of 21 days from the device

Flock claims that images are only briefly stored on its cameras before being forwarded to the company’s servers, but a group of hackers determined that this wasn’t the case.
Flock says that its cameras are protected by on-device encryption, and even though a security researcher noted some flaws in its system, the company said that physical access is still required to exploit them and that the images are only briefly retained on the device before they’re forwarded to the cloud. However, 404 Media says that a hacking group called stegan0gram found out that this wasn’t the case after they took down a Flock camera positioned over a roadway and analyzed the data stored inside it.
While the hacking group failed to access the most sensitive data stored on the Flock camera, they were still able to access its Android operating system and found two storage partitions, labeled “vendor” and “media.” The latter was found to contain an encryption key that unlocked another partition containing all the media files from the camera. 404 Media said that that particular Flock camera captured about 1.6 million images across 21 days, detecting around 50,200 vehicles and, more concerningly, 11 people. There were also 27,321 video clips saved on the device — MP4 files with a 1024 x 768 resolution that lasted about a second or two.
Abilities like reading license plates and describing vehicle characteristics like color, make, and model are done on Flock’s servers, but these cameras still retain some edge AI capabilities. This includes detecting people, vehicles, bicycles, and plate-like shapes, which it then crops and sends to the company servers, alongside the original images. Although the software was found to have some facial detection capabilities, the publication said that this was the stock capabilities included in the operating system and wasn’t used by the camera.

How the American revolt against Flock cameras mirrors the Boston Tea Party of 1773

A grassroots revolt against automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, has gained momentum across the United States.
ALPRs are AI-powered cameras that capture images of all passing vehicles. The camera systems turn details into datapoints searchable by anyone with access to the information.
Today, there are more than 130,000 ALPRs on U.S. streets. And more than 5,000 law enforcement agencies use cameras produced by a single manufacturer, Flock Safety, which says its cameras have helped law enforcement agencies identify and arrest criminals and reduce crime.
***
As a historian of the American Revolution, I see parallels between Americans’ revolt against ALPRs and colonists’ destructive and often violent pushback to late 18th-century British rule.
If this summer’s celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding failed to inspire widespread patriotism, the increasingly bipartisan revolution against ALPRs suggests Americans have not entirely lost their rebellious spirit.

Long article, but I think it's worth the read.

Incredible surgery!

Twin sisters conjoined at the head underwent successful separation surgery

Surgeons at a children's hospital in Missouri earlier this year successfully separated infant twin sisters who had been born conjoined at the head, hospital officials announced Wednesday.
Sisters Hiyab and Wuhbto are now recovering and undergoing rehabilitation and intensive care, more than six months after their cranial separation surgery in February, the hospital said.
The Feb. 24-25 surgery, at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, took more than 24 hours to complete and involved a team of specialists across multiple disciplines.
"It is still too soon to know exactly what their long-term development will look like but what we do know is that they now have opportunities that would not have been possible without this intervention," Dr. Joanna Kemp, head neurological surgeon at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, said in a press conference Wednesday.

Dino is just like the rest of us!

The T. rex had a body temperature similar to our own, study finds

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

I guess next week they do the door and window trim, maybe the base trim, and the electrician is coming out again to install the fixtures and finish the switching. Not sure when the dudes come with the propane tank, but it's getting cool out there at night. I don't think they will be done in two weeks, but I'm hopeful.

Posted by: COMountainMarie at September 17, 2026 10:42 PM (jMB9H)

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

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

One of the guys I used to sail with is a multi time Sunfish world champion. He moved back to St Croix where he grew up. He invented a new way to rig a Sunfish that made him really fast. The Jen's rig.

If they start from scratch and go through the process again, I'm tempted to be very spiteful and vindictive. I figure if a spend a couple hours in the approved area, I can find some inconsequential wildlife and build it up into some species that requires our protection.

183 >>Trawlers are kind of stodgy, aren't they? Is Grand Banks still around?

I'm kind of stodgy.

Grand Banks is absolutely still around and building gorgeous yachts. They'll have at least one yacht at the show.

We called that kind of powerboat trawlers, not as a slur, just cause that's what we called cruising powerboats. Just a habit. It's where old sailors go when they get too old to pull strings. That's why Hinckley and other started building power boats.

This is a great cruising area with the islands and other popular ports and there are tons of those boats around here.

188 My brother in law had a laser I got to sail around off Prudence Island. Fun boat. He took me out, capsized a few times and made me right the boat and sail on.

214 I've seen a lot of writing/reporting on the upsurge by the Houthis but haven't seen any that connects this action to our upcoming elections.

It would seem to me that the timing was set to increase gas prices and make the Iran war look worse so as to help the Democrats take control of Congress which would hamstring the Trump administration and make it possible for the Iranian regime to survive past the end of Trump's Presidency.

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

Something like Nebkheperure (his royal name) blah blah, lord of the 2 lands, blah blah, and when I get done I went to get up and I turned around and there was this big burly bearded biker dude behind me and looking down at me with this slight frown or maybe more like whats this asshole doing.

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

As the legitimate jobs leave, SoCal is increasingly in the position where any serious clampdown in the fraud will collapse their entire economic structure in a relatively short timeframe.

One of the scarier places I used to visit on business post 9/11. Home of the Muslim Brotherhood. Pretty lawless on the western scale. White guys don't blend that well.

If it ever calms down I would recommend you visit the City of the Dead. Giza is amazing as well of course, but there are some great places to visit around Cairo as well if you want to get the vibe of the area.

266 Now that’s a real talent; impressive! I did get to where I kinda figured how cartouches worked, they’re fairly simple.
Posted by: Tom Servo at September 18, 2026 01:13 AM (sTKQb)

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

276 re: Flock cameras
In 1997, I was tasked with setting up the company email server. While researching this "email" thing, I found stats showing that most admins would browse user mails; it was mostly harmless snoops but occasionally a stalker, creep, loser, etc. There were endless spam issues, and sometimes server exploits via the email ecosystem. Spoiler alert: It turned out that email solved a lot of problems, but steps had to be taken to curb abuse. It's kind of Flock-like.

Since we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that public cameras are here to stay, maybe we should fix the issues instead of trying to ban it, since banning new tech and new ideas has never worked.

(And apply the fixes to Ring cameras, traffic cams, security cams at homes and bussinesses, etc because they're the exact same thing, and there are currently about 60 million of them according to AI).

This isn't a photograph -- it's a painting by Danish artist Peder Mork Monsted (1859--1941).

For the next vid, I had to look up the term "trophy truck." Google AI:

A trophy truck is a heavily customized, high-speed off-road racing vehicle built to handle extreme desert terrain at speeds exceeding 130 mph.

Check out the suspension on this truck, nom-nom-noming over hills and ruts.

I guess this guy uses random paint strokes and splatters to push him towards fresh images and not the first ones to pop into his head. At any rate, it does wind up looking like something. Or maybe it's just a gimmick. Either way, it's not just splatter.

Mechanizing weed-pulling. Calm down, Jack Straw, I mean the weeds that you can't smoke. The non-wacky ones.

Forced perspective fakery.

A (fake) highway disaster we should have seen coming.

Stronk Empowered Rock Formations.

Piloting a drone down a tall industrial chimney. Reminds me of Blofeld's demise in For Your Eyes Only.

Brazen thieves on a motorcycle attempt to rob a moving truck. A quick application of the brakes results in a painful, hilarious end to the banditry. The Fast and the Furious lied to you.

The Disappearing Mom Trick, a secret learned from wise men of the Himalayas.

The redbud or Judas tree produces flowers from the trunk itself.

In 1991, a Nigerian "prophet" attempted to reproduce the miracle of Daniel in the lion's den by entering a zoo enclosure full of lions. It didn't go great.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at September 17, 2026 07:41 PM (zZu0s)

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

Otherwise, it would, indeed, be a waste of money.

Missing xcancel + redirector, which gave a very nice experience. Thank, Eloon, you mad Martian menace. At least I can watch the cafe videos semi-easily again.

Meanwhile, it seems Fascebook videos or reels or whatever have a limited viewing window. Starts with a join-up panel, but that can be clicked away. Then runs the vid for a bit, but then throws a join-up panel again that cannot be clicked away.

No nova or explosion. In solar mass stars, they just balloon up to red giants, blow away lots of mass, and then become white dwarfs. That blowing away of mass and the white dwarf radiating away are what makes the planetary nebula.

The Sun will undergo a helium flash at some point in the red giant phase, but none of that energy manages to escape, so you don't see it.

If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had any balls (spoiler, she doesn't), she would tell Marx Carnage that any deal to make Canada an associate member or full member of the EU would trigger an automatic Unilateral Declaration of Independence by Alberta, results or lack thereof of the upcoming referendum notwithstanding. And Donald Trump needs to make it clear that the USA would immediately recognize an independent Alberta and protect its right to exist.

It takes a minimum of about 8 solar masses for a star to go supernova at the end of its life. Stars between about 2 and 8 solar masses go through slightly different paths from the Sun, but no big boom.

The more massive the star, the shorter the life. The big one got out truly in the proverbial blaze of glory.

Hasan Piker re-affirms that he believes America is a bigger terror threat than Al Qaeda.

Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker tells Axios he believes America conducts more terrorism in the world than al-Qaeda, the terror network that carried out the 9/11 attacks.
"Pound for pound as far as the number of deaths, yes," Piker said in an exclusive interview for a new episode of "The Axios Show." Piker added: "We have caused tremendous terror all around the world."

He now says that while what he said was right, people with names like "Hasan" and "Abdul" (the Senate candidate who he's palling around with) aren't allowed to utter such truths.

AWFUL: Lindsay Clancy shouldn't be punished because she's already been punished enough for "losing her children." She didn't lose them, she strangled them to death. This is the apotheosis of the old joke, "Your honor, please have mercy for my murder of my parents. I'm an orphan, your honor."

By the way, when asked to endorse "justice for the children," this degenerate, twisted hag refuses.

Was Martin Udall right? He was definitely right about a large swathe of women, nearly the majority.

The women of Piddington have a possible savior. The UK is planning to cram 1,250 Muslim men into a base just next to the town of a mere 350, giving the "newcomers" a 3-to-1 majority over the actual citizens. Plans have been discovered showing the government actually plans to settle over 3,500 "newcomers" there, but they swearsies that that plan has been abandoned and they would never!

So, while the UK government does not care at all about the fact that the women of Piddington will become free-range rape prey for the almost uniformly military-age male "newcomers," they do care about a species of newt which may be endangered by the sudden influx of rapists.

🚨BREAKING: The illegal migrant camp planned for Piddington may be CANCELLED due to a protected species of NEWTS being found on the site
So let me get this straight...
The Government care more about the safety of NEWTS than Women and Girls?

The town recently voted to declare itself independent from the UK, but obviously the UK will not permit that. You are Tax Cattle to be farmed and slaughtered. And raped. You are chattel.

On the other hand: Andy Burnham has promised to let Scotland again vote to leave or stay part of the UK, and Wales and Northern Ireland want a vote too.

Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales leaders to meet tomorrow to plan breakup of UK: Report

The leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will meet on Monday to discuss plans for the breakup of the United Kingdom, according to The Telegraph.
First Ministers John Swinney of Scotland, Rhun ap Iowerth of Wales, and Michelle O'Neill of Northern Ireland are expected to sign a joint declaration demanding the right to hold referendums on breaking away from the UK. For the first time, the three constituent nations of the UK are held by pro-separation parties.
The Telegraph reported sources as saying that the summit's purpose is to pile more pressure on Prime Minister Andy Burnham after he said in the parliament on Wednesday that he would back another Scottish independence referendum if public opinion backed one.
A source close to Swinney told the newspaper that Burnham "fucked up" by making the comment and unionists should be very worried.

The source further said: "Burnham has not read his brief and doesn't seem to know the basics of the UK Government's position on the Union. If I was a Unionist, I would be very worried."
Ahead of the summit, Swinney said that Burnham was "facing up to the idea that he will go down in history as the final prime minister of the United Kingdom".
Swinney said that that, for the first time, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are led by pro-independence parties, and "there could be no clearer sign that the status quo is not sustainable and that Westminster must prepare for a post-UK future".

...
The separatist movements in the UK have picked up pace lately as US President Donald Trump has ramped up his anti-British campaign. After threatening to back Argentina in the campaign to wrest the Falkland Islands off the UK, he has now supported Northern Ireland's separation from the UK and merger with Ireland.

Meanwhile, EU leader and Bond villain Ursula Von Leyden has offered Canada an "associate membership" in the EU, which means that they get no advantages at all but get to be ruled over by Ursula and her 400 MEP besties, which is the same deal all actual EU members get.

The Bond villainous made this offer on her own "authority," without asking any member nation for approval.

And there is no such thing as an "associate member."

Brussels was hit with a furious backlash today after announcing unprecedented plans for Canada to become an 'associate member' of the bloc -- without asking EU capitals to sign off on the proposal.
EU diplomats told the Mail they were kept in the dark and first learnt of the proposal when Ursula von der Leyen, the EU Commission boss, unveiled it during a keynote speech.
During the top Eurocrat's annual State of the Union speech to the European Parliament, she repeatedly love-bombed Canadian premier Mark Carney -- who was in the chamber -- saying Brussels wanted 'to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.'
But to the surprise of diplomats from the EU's 27 member nations, who would have to sign off the move, she gushed: 'Dear Mark, I said we must urgently reimagine our partnerships. So, I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU.
'We share one ocean, one set of values, one way of seeing the world. And we will now build our shared future as well -- thank you for being here.'
But the attempt to flatter the former Governor of the Bank of England backfired, with diplomats saying they were never briefed about the proposal and that, in effect, 'associate membership' doesn't even exist.
EU diplomats accused Brussels of 'over-reach', an accusation often levelled against Eurocrats by UK Brexiteers before Britain left the bloc.
One EU diplomat told the Mail: 'This bombastic announcement is just not right.
'There will be a summit at the end of October, so logically they will talk about deepening the relations.
'But no one has ever seen an associate membership and no idea what it means in practice. Canada is a valuable partner for the EU, one of the few currently in the world where we share the values, so it is nothing against Canada.
'But first and foremost the member states should be the ones to express what kind of relationship the EU wants to have with any third country.'
Another added: 'She kept this bit of associate membership out of the text until the last moment. She also did not mention it up front to EU member states.
'It seems like she is a bit too far out in floating this. Everyone is positive about Canada, and wants to strengthen the relationship.
'But there is a lot of uncertainty about what von der Leyen envisages by coining this label.'

Trump has reasserted the old Monroe Doctrine, stating that the western hemisphere is the US's sphere of influence, and rejected Europe's attempt to colonize the west.

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

The chancellor of Germany says free speech is just a kooky American idea that he doesn't share:

Democrat House candidate cries and whines that she'd like to go home after being arrested for driving drunk and crashing into other cars.

Washington state Democrat Krista Perez, who is running for a state House seat, was seen on police video admitting to drinking wine, declining field sobriety tests and begging to go home before praying and crying in the back of a patrol car after her DUI arrest.
Perez finished first in last month's primary in the 29th Legislative District, Position 1, and will face incumbent state Rep. Melanie Morgan, also a Democrat, in November, as the top two candidates advance to the general election.
Tacoma Police said Perez's 2019 Chevrolet Silverado allegedly struck a parked car on South G Street shortly after midnight on August 11, setting off a chain reaction that damaged five vehicles, according to The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red.
Prosecutors charged her with DUI, with a refusal enhancement in connection with the collision and a later encounter with police.

Body camera footage shows police questioning Perez after the crash and her subsequent arrest, while footage from the backseat of the patrol car shows her praying and sobbing, according to video obtained by The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red.
After police arrived at the scene, Perez told an officer she did not understand what was going on and claimed she was not involved in an accident, the footage shows.
"Did you get into an accident here?" the officer asks.
"I did not," Perez responded.
The officer then asked what happened.
"I don't know. I've never been in an accident before," she replied.
She also said she switched insurers just weeks before the incident when asked for her documents. She was able to tell the officer the name of the insurance company.
Perez told the officer she was driving from a friend's business on Tacoma Avenue South when the collision happened.
"Did you have anything to drink tonight?" the officer asked.
"I just had some wine while I was there," Perez replied.
Asked how much wine she had, Perez said she had one glass.
When the officer asked how big the glass was, she told him, "I think you might need to contact the business."
The officer then asked her to rate her sobriety on a scale of zero to 10, with zero being completely sober.
She first told the officer that she wanted to go home. But when asked a second time, she rated herself a four.
The officer then asked her to take standardized field sobriety tests but stated multiple times that the tests are optional.
...
Perez declined the tests, kept saying she wanted to go home and repeatedly said that she was "confused."
"Not right now. I'd like to go home first," she said.
"You're not going to go home first. I'm going to tell you that right now, okay? So your options between the test, yes or no, that's going to be determined tonight, right now, not when you go home. So would you like to take these tests or no?" the officer asked.
Perez responded by asking if she was allowed to decline the tests.
"You do have a choice. You can either say yes, or you can say no. They're totally voluntary tests," the officer answered.
"Yeah, I would like to go home first," she replied.
The officer asked whether her answer meant she was declining the tests, and she said yes.
She was then told she was under arrest for DUI and to put her hands behind her back.
"Hold on. Hold on. One second. Hold on," she said.
Perez repeatedly told the officer that she did "not know what any of this means." He told her it means she is under arrest for DUI.

Merz appears to have really poor political instincts. His party just had their Liederhosen covered posteriors handed to them in Saxony-Anhalt. Berlin is coming up on Sept. 20th. He would have done better to not say anything, but what he said about free speech is enough to push a fence sitter.

The media is in full triage state pushing the narrative that AfD only wants to unite with Russia, returning migrants is ethnic cleansing, and somehow the Nazi's where far right and just like AfD. Current polls show that AfD is set to make significant increases in Berlin. I guess Merz sees his career disipation light blinking. Merz was the chair of the Blackrock supervisory council for Germany at one time. His demise would be cause to celebrate.

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

149 El-Sayed Forced To Debate Empty Podium After Republican Dodges

How much do debates even matter? Feels like everyone just votes for their team regardless.

Is this the new Republican strategy? I feel like it is happening all over. They determined debating actual hurts them instead of using Fox News and Ads to do the heavy lifting.

CroleyForCongress (gray checkmark!) I'm in a similar situation in Tennessee on the congressional level, my Republican opponent refuses to debate me. If he's not willing to defend his own beliefs how could we trust him to defend our beliefs?

Cowards.

Trump would have lost if he did a 2nd debate with Kamala. Republicans have learned when they open their mouth in a place they’re held accountable people realize they’re scum

You could take the rotten corpse of a monkey and slap it in a suit and name it Rapey McBabystarver, have another live monkey use that corpse like a marionette, and the Republican base would support it 100% without question as long as it has that (R).

To begin with they reset the economy and financial system after the hyperinflation and rebuilt a completely shattered country in record time. In part it was a rejection and default on the WWI demands, and in part it was a rebuilding of the banking and credit systems backed by the state, in partnership with the state, and managed between the various producers by like some massive nationwide guild system.

If they had let it go there, then they would have been remembered as geniuses, greater than Keynes, Samuelson and Nordhaus who all viewed the Soviet planned economy as the ideal basis for an industrial economy.

226 Canada is betting rather heavily, right alongside Iran, their moves will result in a Democrat majority Congress that will slow down the will of the American people, as expressed through Trump. Their combined goal, led by Democrats and expressed rather loudly by them, is to dismantle the American Republic and undermine it with sharia law, communism, and progressive liberalism.

I suppose you can be upset with the price of gas and the fact Trump finally had the courage to destroy an enemy who has been killing Americans without any retribution for many years, including some of my friends. But it’s somewhat of a curious, vexing decision to elect people knowing nothing they have will change that, and it will in fact make the country worse.

____________________________

The big thing with Canada that the media stays away from is what their "industry" has become, and WHY it is important that we not continue with the status quo. Canada has a tiny industrial base. What they do have is moving to the US. That leaves "Asssembling Plants." China and a few other countries send parts to Canada, which puts products together (assembles)....then they plaster the "Made in Canada" sticker on it even though the vast majority is Chinese crap. It's how China was circumventing tariffs and competing unfairly.

Now, Canada has nothing to fall back on, so they try to make it up in tariffs and unfair labor practices (like dumping milk) to control prices. The abuse tariff quotas on a bunch of different industries (dairy, lumber etc.). We're doing a reset, and they have no negotiating leverage.

US Poverty Rate Falls to Lowest Level In History

Well, as long as we've been keeping track of it, anyway.

And median (average) household income hit a record high.

Wait until you see how the media spins this.

The U.S. poverty rate edged down to the lowest on record ‌in 2025, while median household income hit a record high, the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. There were 34.5 million people in poverty in 2025, the agency said.
The decline marked the second consecutive annual drop in the poverty rate and brought ⁠it to its lowest level since the bureau began tracking the measure. It came as policymakers debate the impact of federal spending cuts on safety-net programs.
The poverty rate -- the percentage of people living in poverty -- dipped 0.5 percentage point to 10.2% last year, the bureau said. The supplemental measure of poverty, which takes into account non-cash government benefits and taxes, was at 13.1%, and the median household ‌income ⁠increased 2.6% to $87,460.

The media very begrugingly stated that the poverty rate fell, but only "slightly, and then added that "experts" "fear the worse" is still to come.

Compare that to how they reported child poverty falling under Biden.

And also note that child poverty under Trump has fallen to the lowest level in recorded history, which they don't bother underlining.

A fighter jet crashed in rural Michigan on Thursday afternoon during a training exercise.

The pilot safely ejected and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are being treated.

The fighter pilot was participating in a routine training exercise in Traverse County at the time of the crash.

“A 149th Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guard F-16 Fighting Falcon was on a routine training mission from the Air National Guard’s Combat Readiness Training Center, in Alpena, when it experienced an incident earlier this afternoon,” the Texas Military Department said in a statement.

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

Not at all. Mother Theresa never judged anyone for their life choices, and she took care of them. But then, she wasn't extorting the general public for tax money to do so. Not the same thing as the government demanding to pay for extravagance for "poor" people.

I never took public assistance for anything, and I left home at 17. I lived without a phone, without AC, without a lot in order to survive. I also always had a job, but there were times when I didn't not know where my next meal was going to come from. I got by, until I succeeded.

And now I get to pay for others to not bother. THAT is my objection. I still give plenty to the Church, and I have no issue if the Church chooses to use that to help folks. And it does.

37 One day a young woman approached me in the parking lot and asked for some money for bus fare to get to a job interview. She didn’t look homeless and was dressed decently. She was very apologetic about asking but said she was trying to get back on her feet after some set backs. I gave her a few bucks even though 90% chance she was lying. But main reason was so I could comment on the smart phone she was carrying and telling her that America was the greatest country in the world when poor people can have a smart phone. She tried to explain but I told her no need and good luck on the interview.

The rules on EBT have changed and a lot of people have been cut off. They started counting assets, not just earning, and the level you can earn and get it was adjusted. Plus, if you are able to do at least 20 hours of work a week, you have to in order to get EBT. And they cut illegals off.

This enraged the left but it is taking effect. Prices on a lot of stuff that used to be cranked up knowing that people bought a lot of it on EBT are dropping.

I briefly dated a woman whose main source of income was being a substitute teacher. She had a nice house and I asked her about it and she mentioned that there was a special program because she was "low income".

I cannot say how often this happens, but it definitely does happen that "stay at home" girl takes care of the house by not doing much and ordering doordash every single meal. That stuff adds up horrendously fast. Even if you don't count the delivery fees, the restaurants mark up the food because Doordash charges them a fee for the privilege of having their food listed. And Doordash sometimes marks up the food further.

Its easy 30% higher through them even before fees, than at the restaurant. More, sometimes. But mama ain't got time for all that cookin' and cleanin'

So a "safety net" for people who have actually fallen on hard times and been visited by bad luck is worth having. The trouble is that there are too many Americans now, and too many illegals, who want to live on the safety net's benefits for their entire lives.

No. You always use loaded language, by the way. It makes it sound like a moral judgement, and not an economic observation.

Cars are essential in the US unless you can figure out how to get around without one.
Cars can either be bought all at once, or on an installment plan.
People who can scrape together the 5-10K for a used car off the side of the road are not the poorest - they have the ability to scrape together 5-10K. They are also not the most desperate since they have assets.

People who can scrape out 400-700 dollars a month for reaaaaallly long installment plans are taking a hit of income, but they will have no wages if they can't commute, and it is not a 5K hit.
Add to that the system of loans makes it an advantage to always have debt, and the more debt you have and can service, the easier it is to secure loans.

This is the perverse incentives that force poor decisions.

183 You can still get a pound of ground beef, 85% lean, at Aldi for $5.99. This will feed two people for two meals, or one for four, maybe five if you stretch it out with sides. Some olive oil to cook it in, seasoning, some pasta or taco shells or tortillas, and you're in business. Frozen peas & carrots are .98 for a pound bag, too.

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

Paramount/Skydance to California: Drop Dead

Paramount is being bullied by California AG Rob Bonta in a lawsuit 12 other left-wing AGs have joined to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. As I've mentioned, they are animated by the all-but-admitted position that conservatives just aren't allowed to own major media companies, or just non-gonzo-liberals, as David Ellison seems to be. They are blocking the completion of the purchase so that the company they prefer to take over Warner Bros., the super-left-wing Netflix, can buy it instead.

Which shows their complaints about anti-trust and "reducing competition in the industry" to be, as usual, communist lies.

This is a particularly bad hostage situation for Paramount, who, as part of its offer to buy Warner Bros,, promised to pay Discovery Warner shareholders seven million dollars per day if it was not able to complete the purchase by October 1. Rob Bonta and his Soros AG goons are trying to delay this to either punish Paramount for daring to be owned by a non-liberal, or punish them so badly they agree to undo the deal entirely.

In response, Paramount threatened to leave California and take Warner Bros. with it. A move that some estimate would save them a half a billion per year in taxes.

They said they would move their corporate headquarters by October 1 unless Bonta and the League of Soros AGs allowed the sale.

Now Paramount is showing that they're not bluffing.

Paramount Skydance is actively looking for office space in Nashville -- a sign the company is seriously considering moving at least some operations from Los Angeles amid the legal fight over its purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to two people familiar with the search who were granted anonymity to discuss it.
Paramount, headquartered in Hollywood, has sought about 400,000 square feet of space in the Tennessee capital that it could move into in two to three years, according to one of the people. However, no existing building there has a vacancy that aligns with the company's needs and timeline, the person said.
Representatives of the studio have also reached out to at least two real estate developers about constructing new offices in Nashville that the company could occupy in three years, the person said. Paramount representatives were recently shown a vacant multi-acre parcel outside of downtown Nashville where the company could build new headquarters, according to the other person with knowledge of the matter.
...
"His intent is to be committed to California," Paramount Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim said of Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison at POLITICO's The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit in August. But, Delrahim noted, "There is a point at which you have a fiduciary duty to shareholders."
...
"We cannot comment on a company's plans," Bonta's office said in a statement. "It's no secret that Paramount has been making this threat, despite its alleged commitment to California and Hollywood. What Paramount decides to do is Paramount's choice alone. We'll continue to apply the law without fear or favor and continue to be open to coming to the table for good faith discussions."
The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in March. Starting in October, Paramount will have to pay roughly $7 million for each day the $111 billion deal remains incomplete. Regulatory agencies of more than 60 countries and jurisdictions have approved the merger, and the U.S. Department of Justice approved the sale in June.

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

The move could be so disastrous for the already-desolated California that even Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are calling for a "compromise" settlement. I don't know what they have in mind, but I would guess they want a guarantee that Paramount/Skydance will sell CNN, HBO, and CBS to friendly leftwing interests. There is no way Paramount/Skydance would sell HBO or CBS, but I imagine they already plan to sell off CNN.

Per Google's AI, here's the potential economic fallout if Paramount/Skydance does abandon the state:

Why Leaders Are Pushing for Compromise
While Hollywood creatives initially signed letters opposing the merger due to fears of corporate consolidation and job cuts, the threat of Paramount leaving the state has shifted the stakes completely. Industry analyses indicate a worst-case scenario where a total relocation could devastate the local entertainment ecosystem, risking:
Up to 58,000 full-time jobs statewide.
$21 billion in annual economic output.
Over $1.1 billion in lost annual state tax revenue.

I hope they follow through with the threat.

6 It's not like LA is a shell of the movie industry, having exporting at least half of all of its filming to places like Georgia or Vancouver over the past 30 years because actually filming in LA is stupidly expensive, or anything.

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

Total bluff.

Posted by: Open Channel D at September 17, 2026 04:43 PM (gYnrv)

44 Some perspective.

Whenever someone does the meme "The last Republican mayor...." blaming Democrats for failed cities, I point this out.

1st, the tax base changes. From industry and commerce to social services and support of those on transfer payments. (school, criminal justice, retail...)

2nd, the new people elect anti-industry government.

In some places, like NY and LA things are more complicated, but what has destroyed our cities is that first they chase out the industry. High taxes, high regulation, union friendly, bloated government, ... then the tax base that cares about this stuff leaves.

The problem is these cities get too much money from state, federal grants, welfare payments to citizens, and billionaires in industries that are isolated (finance, silicon valley, Hollywood...)

LA losing film is a big deal. Without film they are just Mexico City with nicer roads.

Picture taking a plane or train like a very slow teleport. Plot your life graph on a map like they don't count as moving at all, since you're not experiencing the space in-between. In other words, treat all airports and all train stations as the same point, so that a world traveler will have lots of overlapping maps, one layer for each airport or train station that he's disembarked at.

So then the question will be, what's the furthest he's traveled where he could get out and stretch, feel the breeze, smell its stink? I would bet that a lot of worldly cosmopolitans have never been outside of a 50-mile radius by that reckoning, staying close to their "teleport chambers." Like a high-tech medieval peasant, really.

That being said, my Hollywood died during WW2.

Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 04:30 PM

I had the same expectation, but because of the work culture. Part of what made Hollywood work was its vast network of every kind of craftsperson to build sets and operate equipment, with punctuality and professionalism. And Nashville has a pro culture, where the machine needs to be fed, and musicians know to show up and play without drama.

Austin, I believe, does not. It's practically a "sister city" with Portland and Brooklyn, from people moving between them. It would not have met the hidden greater need for a stable cadre of pros, and cultures are fiercely resistant to change.

72 If Paramount does leave, watch how the California Legislature reacts. They don't know how to back down. They will inflate capital gains and transfer taxes so high it will be almost comical.

87 I would like to discuss "the AI is going to kill us all" hysteria. 1.AI is nothing but ones and zeros in a computer. 2."We are creating life, and it will kill us all". We have heard that before: it is the base story of Frankenstein. 3.I say there is no pattern of ones and zeros in a computer that will ever come to life. 4.Lets assume that I am wrong, and that such a pattern does exist. If it does exist, then it is not necessary for AI research to create it; the random thermal noise in computer memory will eventually create it. Now I have a question for you: "Does the prospect of a Commodore 64 becoming alive frighten anyone?" That machine has the processing power of roughly one human neuron. It is so slow it would take about 35,000 years to have one coherent thought. That tells us that to have a truly dangerous AI which smarter than humanity requires enormous processing power. So to limit AI one has to limit the processing power of the computers it runs on to less than human brain processing power. A current top end PC has about the processing power of a cockroach. No number of cockroaches are going to create a super intelligence.

121 > I have a friend that's an executive at paramount, curious what them "moving" looks like? Do they just open an office and say they are now a TN company?

Depends on the laws of the origin state and the destination state. There are two moves. Moving operations or headquarters and changing the state of incorporation.

When they move operations they open offices, move assets, update addresses, and register to do business in the new state.

Changing the state of incorporation changes which state's corporate laws govern the company. If both states allow it, there's a redomestication process dictated by law. If that's not allowed by one or more states, they can form a new company and merge the old one into it. There's also the option to dissolve the original company and form a new company. This is a last resort and not usually recommended.

I think when they went national they changed some of the things that made them exceptional, probably cheaped down on a few items. But their aged cheddar is still world class.

Then again, I lived in Wisconsin and ate things like Carr Valley cheese. It is superior in every possible way.

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

------

Between the Port of Houston (notorious for its sex traffic), and the Mexican border, I'm betting TX is better than TN for hookers and blow.

But, Nashville has literal sluices of entertainment money gushing through it.

I figured it was more of a competition between them and Atlanta. Atlanta has way more film production already in place. But TN has a better tax environment and more stable government than GA.

Thus it will be with the thousands of AI 'decisions' that will be made in the future, without any sensitivity or human judgement, and *very* potentially without recourse.

This is just a one paragraph thought. All that glitters is not gold.

Study: Blue States with Strong Teachers Unions Influence Have, for Some Reason, the Lowest Student Literacy Rates in the Nation

You know those teachers unions only care about the kids.

It's all about the kids, you know. When they shut down the schools for a year and a half so that teachers could sit at home on their asses and literally phone in their lessons, that was all for the kids, too.

Their lazy, greedy stance has resulted in the worst literacy rates in the nation.

Blue states with strong teachers' unions overwhelmingly have worse student literacy scores than Republican states where educators don't have as much say over policy, a shocking new analysis found.

This is a novel use of the word "shocking" I wasn't previously aware of.

At least eight of the ten states where students had the worst literacy scores were liberal strongholds with politically powerful teachers' unions, while just five were Republican and one was a swing state, a recent assessment from the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) found.
New York -- where more than half of third- to fifth grade students failed their reading proficiency exams this year -- was among the worst-performing states, and also had some of the strongest teachers' unions.
The top-performing states, meanwhile, were overwhelmingly conservative and had less politically powerful unions -- of the 23 top-performing states, 13 were Republican majority and just 4 were Democratic hubs.
Even with the findings stretched out to the top 32 best-scoring states, a mere 7 were Democratic states and only four of them were ranked in the 25th percentile for teachers' union power, according to the Wall Street Journal.
...
And Canter's study found one overwhelming and shocking throughline -- the stronger the state's teachers' union the worse its student literacy scores were, results which did not exclusively follow party lines but strongly trended that way and often to the detriment of Democrats.
"Democrats, however, don't often ask me how to replicate Mississippi's success," Canter said. "They ask if it's possible at all, given the power of teachers' unions in their home states."
,,,
"We found a strong, negative correlation between the two -- the more powerful the unions, the fewer literacy policy principles the state had adopted," Canter said.

In New York state, they've decided they will just stop teaching students and, so parents won't know, they'll stop administering the Regents Exam, which tests for minimum educational achievement at graduation.

Not enough students from "different communities" were passing the minimum standards exam, while Asian students passed at a rate of 86% and white students at 87%.

So instead of solving the problem, or at least ameliorating it, they'll just destroy all records of their failure.

What is more shocking is that a board member of the Regents exam explains that asking black and Hispanic kids to pass a minimum-competency test is like... testing a fish to see if it can climb a tree. Fish can't climb trees, and therefore, she implies, black and Hispanic kids are just not capable of passing a minimum-standards test and should be excused from doing so.

But you're the Racists, Racists.

Because Liberal States are more likely to have strong teacher's unions, so it would be the being a liberal state causes worse educational outcomes AND having a strong teacher's union.

OR, a strong teacher's union causes worse educational outcomes. It's hard to parse because they are almost always related.

Because Liberal States are more likely to have strong teacher's unions, so it would be the being a liberal state causes worse educational outcomes AND having a strong teacher's union.

They will argue that they spend more and have bigger unions because they have more diverse student population, and more kids with special needs, and more ESL students.

They will claim that this is the cause of poor performance. That is why the recent Mississippi shift was so important -- they have a high population of minority kids, but they are doing much better with phonics than the patented "Professor Howard Hill Think Method of Reading."

But it is a lot deeper. The data is there for states like CA if they just analyzed it to find what schools do good, etc. but they don't want to expose their failure.

So they really want more of them (immigrants) for more cash, and low test scores is just not an issue -- why bother even testing.

I knew a woman (illegal) in NJ (15 years ago) who moved from NY for more benefits. She had kid with "learning problems." She got visits from social workers, special doctors, extra cash -- I swear there was an army of state workers for this woman's little retard. He was completely normal though, just a lazy thug.

We could offer to provide them food and housing, in exchange, they would volunteer to plant and harvest the crops.

We'd even let them, in slow months, hire themselves out to neighbors for a little spending money.

Naturally, we'll have to have some sort of "overseer" to ensure they don't leave their free housing without permission and show up on time to plant and harvest.
But that would be all "voluntary" of course.

106 I hate the teachers union, but I think most of these issues are just cultural. There's a certain segment of the population that probably just needs some sort of expedited public education and to just start working because they are never going to be scholars.

It used to be like 14 and you were figuring out a trade.

I know an immigrant and their kid is just doing online high school. probably saves the taxpayer a fortune.

111 NY has lost over 9% of its public schools population in the last 10 years. The smart people are getting their kids out. Those who remain are putting their kids on “special education” programs so they get an IEP or other situation that makes specific demands on the teacher and their time, which takes away from other students. On top of that you have the children of illegal immigrants, who to add insult to injury, don’t pay a dime in taxes, stealing resources from the children whose parents pay exorbitant taxes for the school budget.

Someone looked and noted enrollment was down 1/3 over the last 10 years and noted that the school budget should be going down. So where was the increase in spending? Mostly administrators.

The school budget increase actually LOST. And...they didn't fire any teachers/close any schools. In fact as far as I can see they did...nothing.

The geniuses in the town though re-elected the same town officials all of whom supported the tax increase. Because their opponents were scary people with crazy ideas like uh, not raising taxes.

And that is the secret behind the Oregon thing I did above: the teahers are paid pretty well and do get raises, but almost all the money people keep voting for goes to the administration, not the teaches.

The reason teachers keep having to buy makers and paper is because the administration gets all the money. You don't see the budget going to classroom supplies (uness its purchasing Apple tablets), it goes to the new vice president of diversity and hiring another therapist and 3 new secretaries for each office.

"You don't assess a fish on climbing a tree because fish can't climb trees"

Maybe asking a student to read or do math on a test is a little more reasonable than asking a fish to climb a tree?
-------------------
If it isn't reasonable -- if certain populations are incapable of reading, writing, and arithmetic -- then maybe it's a mistake to let them have a say in the community's governance. If they also belong to a community that cannot be held accountable because hormones, then that's a double strike against their franchise.

Now, I don't believe either proposition. But I'm for sure not going to accept that they are superior beings who get authority over me while being less accountable. Authority (including the vote) requires responsibility, which requires accountability. It must be revoked and forbidden otherwise.

In brief: College Republicans had a booth, doing the Kirk thing: debate, etc. Some leftist bint student on Sept 10, the anniversary of Kirk's death, comes up to the booth with a "Happy Kirkversary" cake, smiling and poses for the picture as she is gleefully celebrating Kirk's murder.

The College Republicans post the picture of this woman. It goes viral, and someone finds out who she is and posts her name, etc. Now the College Democrats and the university are investigating the College Republicans and trying to expel them and decertify the College Republicans for the crime of posting a picture of this woman who posed for the picture.

Harmeet Dhillion and lots of others are chiming in now.

In Denver metro, there were two districts (Douglas & Jeffco) that staged a revolt and turned their boards red.

Every teacher went on strike, started pickets along miles of sidewalks, while the CEA & NEA helicoptered palettes of cash into lawsuits and recalls. The whole thing was over in less than a year.

These union fortresses can't be assailed. Not at this time.

But if you live in a rural/small town district, by all means, vote in those elections to maintain your toehold.

Unfortunately, administrators are not ready to administer the

Others - like in Philly and other urbanized areas - are not prepared to come off their unique jobs and titles and sit their butts in the classroom as legitimate school teachers of children.

There are compromises in some before mentioned communities in that tablets, etc. will no longer be employed as primary teaching tools until fifth grade.

The teachers unions are also not pleased at all about stories of teaching success - cursive handwriting, phonetics for reading, etc.- from Mississippi and other southern states.

Woman convicted of disfiguring biting attack given reduced sentence because she's Haitian

Tristin Hopper: In a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported

Four years is "too harsh" for eating the face of a stranger and disfiguring her for life?

By Tristin Hopper

A Haitian woman who disfigured a stranger in a Montreal-area biting attack has been given a reduced sentence by a Quebec judge on the grounds that a harsher prison term would endanger her "precarious immigration status."

Just two days after Christmas in 2022, Macdala Monfiston spent eight minutes viciously attacking a woman outside a bar in Laval, Que., leaving the victim with bite marks all over her arms and face.
Court records described one of the facial wounds as being "several centimetres long, necessitating repeated treatments and leaving a prominent scar."
Video of the assault obtained by The Journal de Montreal shows Monfiston pulling the victim's hair, kicking her motionless form on the ground and straddling her body while biting at her face.
"When I tell people I was bit, they ask me what kind of animal, if it was by a pit bull. They can't believe it's a person who did this to me," the victim told the paper in a French-language interview.
Although good Samaritans attempted to intervene, they were held back by Monfiston's boyfriend.

After Monfiston pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in early 2025, a Court of Quebec judge sentenced her to four years in prison -- the sentence already a fraction of the maximum 14-year sentence set for the crime under the Criminal Code.
But in a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported.

Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, anyone jailed for longer than two years is deemed guilty of "serious criminality," and loses their appeal rights in the case of a removal order.

"The prison sentence has a much greater impact on the defendant than on other offenders who might have committed similar acts," reads the French-language decision, rendered on Sept. 14 by appeals court judges Suzanne Gagné, Christine Baudouin and Genevieve Marcotte.

I'm done with Canada. I'm done with Europe.

Cut them off and leave them to rot.

And it's time to consider separating some states from the US.

Kathy Hochul's pardon travesty lifts immigrant criminals over Americans' safety
By Daniel McCarthy
How far will New York Gov. Kathy Hochul go to keep immigrant criminals in this country?
So far she'll even pardon a man convicted of an aggravated felony, if that's what it takes to prevent the US Supreme Court from setting a restrictionist precedent.
Keisy Guerrero Mariano is a Dominican who spent two years in prison for committing a violent crime -- second-degree assault.
Guerrero Mariano, known as "G.M." in court documents, is exactly the sort of lawbreaker Americans overwhelmingly want to see deported.
But not Hochul; she granted him clemency on Aug. 28.
His case stood out from those of the other five people she pardoned that day.
The others were non-violent offenders who'd committed their crimes decades ago -- two in the 1980s, two in the '90s, and just one as recently as 2007.
G.M. was convicted in 2015.
Yet the governor decided he merited special leniency, for political reasons.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested G.M. in 2020, intending to deport him based on his criminal record.
ICE had to let him go in 2022, however, because of a nationwide injunction related to COVID that required the agency to review custody of individuals with certain medical conditions.
While ICE had him, though, G.M.'s lawyers challenged the agency's right to hold him for a prolonged time without a bond hearing.
That's what Hochul's pardon is really about.
President Donald Trump's Justice Department planned to make the Dominican's appeals a test case before the Supreme Court -- one likely to establish that G.M. and others like him are not entitled to a bond hearing.
Bond hearings are an easily exploited weakness in America's immigration security: They protract the legal process of deporting lawbreakers, while also giving them an opportunity to get out of detention temporarily -- and then permanently, by failing to show up when they're due for their next hearing.
G.M. came to this country legally in 2011, but he forfeited any right to remain here once he committed a felony.
Now Hochul has nullified his conviction to undercut ICE's grounds for removing him, and to collapse the appeals process that was leading to the Supreme Court -- and a probable defeat for those who want to make deportation as difficult as possible.

Below, video of the horrifying biting attack by the nurse/doctor/engineer. You can see the biting going on in background. And halfway through the mauling, samaritans come by to stop it, but her boyfriend, who is also a future tech mogul on the level of Tony Stark, block people from assisting the ravaged woman so that his feral monster of a girlfriend can finish eating her face.

You can't see much but it's still horrifying. You have my blessing if you want to skip it and take it as read into the record.

A Haitian woman living in Canada, with an extensive criminal background beats, stomps and bites a stranger for 8 straight minutes, leaving the victim disfigured, is given a reduced sentence of 2 years LESS A DAY, so as not to meet the 2 year threshold which would get her� https://t.co/ySqBfgZLry pic.twitter.com/5SXhSsJ4od

In a stunning political move, the chief judge of the Minneapolis federal bench disclosed the behind the scenes collaboration between all judges to thwart legal proceedings related to immigration cases this year.

Patrick Schiltz, who admitted his longtime involvement in a pro-migrant nonprofit, reveals how judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings. And rather than evaluate each case individually—as is required—the judges developed pro forma orders (as I predicted) to immediately stop cases in their tracks.

This is something:

Schiltz: “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again.”

46 Now Hochul has nullified his conviction to undercut ICE's grounds for removing him, and to collapse the appeals process that was leading to the Supreme Court -- and a probable defeat for those who want to make deportation as difficult as possible.

I don't think the one follows the other. ICE should just pick him and let his pro bono lawyers fight it, keeping the controversy alive.

92 this isn't a law, but stems from the R v. Pham 2013 supreme court case. That is when the SC set the precedent that judges must take the impact to immigration status into account.

can see two reasons covered in the article why her immigration status was considered:
1- She arrived in Canada at the age of two
2- She is a single mother of 4 Canadian citizens (3 in her custody).

Deporting people who arrived before they can form conscious memories or coherently communicate is morally dubious. Deporting someone who arrived as a baby is not the same as deporting someone who arrived voluntarily as an adult.

is kinda her own fault for not getting Canadian citizenship, she chose to remain Haitian

You know we're done for when majority of people aren't even outraged by this privileged treatment of "immigrants"

"Yes, average IQ scores are dropping in many developed countries, including the United States and several European nations, marking a reversal of the 20th-century trend known as the Flynn Effect. This phenomenon, often termed the Reverse Flynn Effect, involves a decline in scores across multiple cognitive domains such as verbal reasoning, matrix reasoning, and computational abilities."

That puts him in just below the top 10% in income so he's "rich".

The three things that stood out in his monthly expenses is a $3k mortgage, $2200 in daycare, and $4500 in taxes

Isn't the answer obvious? He's not as rich as he thinks he should be because the government is taking a quarter of his income in taxes. And note that's just the direct taxes.

But people keep overlooking this. I mean the guy has obviously a nice house...and he's still paying WAY more in incomes taxes.

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

215 $2200 a month in daycare? That's $26,400 a year. That's madness.

His wife works, and based on the way he phrased it I assume she makes a non-trivial portion of the $192k/year they make together.

But I do see people where one parent is making much less then that and paying these kind of numbers for daycare.

I think this gets to the idea some are floating to give a stipend to a stay at home parent.

216 So, zombie cannibalism is a trending thing, again. Also, Canada bends the knee to the Brits and you see what their status is now. I suspect the best thing to do is build a northern wall, with electric fences, dogs ... etc.

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

They probably kept the guys on the registry who were busted for peeing against a tree in public, while taking the actual kiddie diddlers off.

220 They’re eating the faces.

221 I'm Canadian. I've been trying to get into the US for years, I do remote consulting work for US companies, any restrictions on Canadian travel to the US would hurt my chances.

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

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

223 "We must insulate ourselves from this demonic nation."

Just a note, Ace - she came to Canada from the U.S. It's just that we were (and continue to be) stupid enough to take these people in.

224 QC election on Oct 5 just might bring in a separatist government.

AB just might instruct their federalist Premier to go ahead with an independence referendum on Oct 19.

October will be very interesting for Canada.

225 149 It's going to get bad in Canada. You may have noted that the other day Canada became an "Associative Member of the European Union" (which is a totally made up status).

I will bet my house (and my dog) that the EU is going to use Canada as a "dumping ground" for their excess immigration. That way, the EU bureacrats can say "Hey look, we heard you...immigration is down." All the while they will be shipping off the excess to the Snow Mexicans.

We need a wall up north pronto.

I’m more worried Canada may try joining Schengen. In which case I hope the government reviews Canada’s privileges IRT travel to the United States.

226 I guess the Haitians have moved up the food chain from eating the cats and eating the dogs to eating human faces.
