Daily Tech News 28 January 2026
Top Story
- Memory prices may be leveling off - at four times what they were just a few months ago. (Tom's Hardware)
Supplies are still very constrained, but people are buying less RAM - either avoiding upgrades entirely or building smaller systems - so prices are stalling in the ionosphere rather than continuing on an intergalactic cruise.
- SK Hynix - one of the big three memory manufacturers - has reported its most recent quarterly results. (CNBC)
No surprise, the numbers are good. Revenue is up 66% over the past year, and profit is up 137%.
Good for them. Not good for you.
Tech News
- Nvidia's DGX Spark can be significantly faster on AI tasks than systems built on AMD's Ryzen AI Max. (Tom's Hardware)
When it launched it cost twice as much as the AMD systems, leaving plenty of room for the two to compete. But the AMD systems seem to have been hit badly by the DRAM Apocalypse while the Nvidia systems have somehow come down in price.
So if all you want to do is run local AI models, the DGX Spark is a better bet. If you want to do anything else with it - certainly if you want to run Windows - you may be better of sticking with AMD.
- Google's desktop version of Android looks to be real. (Liliputing)
The year of Linux on the desktop?
I mean, it can't be worse than Windows.
Surely.
- The Khadas Mind Pro has been updated with Intel's new Panther Lake CPU with is B390 graphics. (Liliputing)
$1799 with 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD, which used to be wildly expensive, and now seems normal.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - January 27, 2026 [Doof]
Probably didn't have that "new car smell" Elderly Man Driving Busted Up Truck Was a Joke Meme Until Stranger’s Heart-warming Idea to Crowdfund a New One
His truck was the vehicle equivalent of Frankenstein, a green mish-mash of dents and dings and disjointed panels. The 2000 Chevy Silverado became something of a famous eyesore in South Bend, Indiana, earning sideways glances and second looks wherever Mo Riles went. *** Sure, Mo heard the jokes and saw the sideways glances—but the truck ran just fine. The state of Indiana doesn’t require inspections. And Mo, who worked at a Dollar Tree store, wasn’t in a financial position to upgrade, especially since facing recent health struggles. So the truck rolled on… at least until Colin Crowel saw the photo. Colin, who owns Carguys Auto Detailing, wanted to do more than joke about the unsightly relic. He figured that whoever was driving it likely needed a pick-me-up, instead of another internet pun. “I just thought there’s gotta be something more to why this truck looks like this,” Colin said. “I just put two and two together.” He started a crowdfunding campaign, hoping to raise money for Riles and betting that community support would produce more than social media memes. *** The results arrived quickly. Donations poured in from people all over northwest Indiana and beyond. More than 500 people pitched in to raise over $26,000 for Mo.Video at the link. Hopefully the truck found a loving new owner. Maybe Rancher Bob could add it to his collection on his ranch! ----- Opposite end of the spectrum as far as the condition of a vehicle. Need one of you smart car nerds to weigh in here. I've seen several of these types of stories lately, but some are obviously fake. I can't find anything overtly fishy about this one. What say you? 1965 Impala 409 Wagon Sat 42 Years, Moscow Family Hid the Time Capsule 42 Years in a Barn
Out of the 2.38 million Chevys sold in 1965, the Impala claimed some 40%. The US domestic automobile production rose to a staggering 8.96 million vehicles that year – and the African gazelle was representing one out every nine of those cars. But the numbers dive drastically when we factor in the 409 powerhouse. With just 2,828 motors made for passenger cars, we’re talking “unicorn eggs” level of rarity. And that’s just for starters: for the sake of piston-centric fun, let’s add one more bottleneck. Like, say, body style – and I insist that we chose my favorite full-size dress code, the station wagon. Chevrolet didn’t bother fitting people haulers with big-block muscle like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, so just 82 Impala wagons came with a 409. I won’t even bother to do the math, it’s more than self-explanatory by now, but I’m not done bringing more rarity into this talk just yet. Of those 82, how many stayed with one family for nearly six decades?Please check out the link and let us know what you think. ----- Which one of you did this?

Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold. Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, and no amount of chemistry can turn one into the other. But our modern knowledge tells us the basic difference between an atom of lead and an atom of gold: the lead atom contains exactly three more protons. So can we create a gold atom by simply pulling three protons out of a lead atom? As it turns out, we can. But it’s not easy.Who's up for this challenge? ----- Cute little video I saw in an X comment (click on the top right bubble for the source). I'd imagine it's quite accurate.

Posted by: browndog foot to the floor at January 27, 2026 10:27 PM (3sXRv)
So:
n = (9.51 × 10²²
÷ (6.02214076 × 10²³
First, divide the coefficients: 9.51 ÷ 6.02214076 ≈ 1.579
Then handle the exponents: 10²² ÷ 10²³ = 10⁻¹
Putting it together: n ≈ 1.579 × 10⁻¹ = 0.158 moles (rounded to three significant figures, since 9.51 has three sig figs).

Now I have a story theme. A crack force of former Special Forces escape from the 2nd Division stockade in South Korea. They move north to confuse the military police.
Easily crossing the DMZ, they go cross country to just outside the well fortified, thick, concrete bunker holding the North Korean gold treasures.
Using a rudimentary lathe, concrete cutting thermo-lances, and carefully cutting rebar, they break into the store room where the North Korean leader has his greatest treasures.
They open the floor chests, which are refrigerators.
Insides are filled with gold. Kerry Gold butter.

So:
n = (9.51 × 10²² ÷ (6.02214076 × 10²³
First, divide the coefficients: 9.51 ÷ 6.02214076 ≈ 1.579
Then handle the exponents: 10²² ÷ 10²³ = 10⁻¹
Putting it together: n ≈ 1.579 × 10⁻¹ = 0.158 moles (rounded to three significant figures, since 9.51 has three sig figs).

It has been a decade or more since high school chemistry, but I think that 6.02 x 10^23 is the number of atoms it takes to get a macro scale mass (I forget if it's gram or kilogram) equal to the atomic weight of the element in question. The number of anything in an ounce is going to be some other number.

I see a small number of station wagons showing up at cruise nights, but I think its because they are true survivor cars, or at most just got a new paint job. Occasionally you do see a true believer who think people will beat their door down to buy it. I'll never forget this one night a dude showed up with a pinto station wagon that for some unexplainable reason he was trying to hot rod. It ended up breaking down, was leaving a large puddle of oil under it. I said to another dude that maybe we should go see wtf is up. He says I don't have a pinto repair kit. I asked wtf a pinto repair kit was. He says " A can of beer and a hand grenade, pull the pin on the grenade and drink the beer".

Have your "Great dinner, romantic evening" on February 13th. You have to go over the top for this, you can't phone it in with Applebees, and you have to provide some actual romance.
On February 14th, help cook at home (if you're single, help cook at her home or yours). Have fun with it and chill out. Then go out to a local "dive" bar around 9 or 10 o'clock and celebrate "Valentines Day" again. The sheer energy from the others who are there will remind her again that she loves you.
She won't go to work on February 15th with any complaints.

How cool is that to have on your resume of life?
Good for you!

Posted by: fourseasons at January 27, 2026 10:43 PM (3ek7K)
Are we married to the same guy? Mine, either. He says, "I buy you flowers often because I want to." Then buys me something on Valentine's.
We used to give each other sarcastic Valentine cards.
I'm cooking a lot lately, so that's his. I did not cook as much in December due to NO SNOW weirdness. I have come out of that now and hope for a White Easter.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at January 27, 2026 11:10 PM (WONhk)
Then the Pope got his hands on the holiday and you could say he attemped to pre-empt the "Pagan" ritual with an honoring of martyrs. That's a solid 180 degree turn.
I won't bore you with the evolution over time to today's rituals. BUT, and this is important. Every single explanation for modern day Valentine's Day describes and EXCHANGE of cards and gifts. It's not described as a day to put women on a pedistal of honor and pampering. Somewhere along the line a lot of women started slacking in their Valentine's Day obligations.

Only in outlaw territory could an illegal alien host a "town hall" event. She needs to be criminally prosecuted and deported.
By the way, "town hall" implies she has things to say and people in attendance have things to say back. Are we supposed that this illegal Muslim hag has any ability to handle crowds?

It is worse than that, the only real trading was in futures and options since actual delivery and storage is a hassle. So Silver stayed in whatever vault it was in and the ownership of each ounce was passed back and forth with the understanding that when the contract came up, it could be covered by selling it again.
But now no one trustst there is sufficient silver to cover the current contracts.
So everyone is demanding delivery, and there may be too little Silver in the world to cover everything that was sold, which means the exchanges may default.

That doesn’t sound like the avocado number. Maybe that’s the guacamole constant.
Posted by: Tom Servo at January 27, 2026 10:25 PM (Sxl5b)
In case nobody posted it, Avocado's (Avogadro's) Number is 6.02 X 10^23 atoms per mole
The molecular (molar) weight of Au is 196.96 gm which converts to about 6.95 oz.
So one ounce of Au is about 1/7 of a mole...
Sometimes you just gotts to do the math.....sorry horde!

The pattern I noticed with batteries, especially the harley batteries of any brand, is they need to be fully charged before they're put in the vehicle. With the harleys if you don't charge them up to around 13.5 volts they never take a full charge in the bike. I have seen new batteries die in days. Its always the same story. Customer says he bought a new battery and it dies in a week. We asked if it was charged, they say the store told him it was charged. No..no, thats bullshit, and they always say that crap. I charge car batteries before putting them in too.

Start the engine then organize whatever or just give it a bit before turning any appliance on. It seems to help.

Xi knows what happened in 1911, how Yuan Shi-kai was plucked from retirement by the Empress to put down a mutiny of his subordinates and to do so, he demanded full command authority. He got it, and deposed the monarchy, declaring himself president. He died in 1916, inaugurating the warlord era. Everyone in China knows this.
Communists cannot give a promise worth anything. It's all self-interest. When the Party is powerful, the Army is loyal, but the Party is stumbling, and the Army is worried at how many of its officers are getting purged. Xi appointed all the guys he's removing. He's burning his own cronies. That can't go on for long.

“I want to tell you what I mean when I saw that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said.
“I mean, I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial, conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment,” he said.
“That is what I mean when I saw that I’m going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan added.

No doubt there are YUGE structural issues in Red China, many things are declining, and a major shakeup is due.
Xi might have decided that he may as well be the one to shake it up. Going after his allies and puppets? Is he? Or is it that they *were* his puppets, but perhaps were no longer? I don't know. Xi might is crafty and cunning and is a survivor. I'm not counting him out.

There are a bunch of castles in the Rhineland that have been updated to be residences. All of them were destroyed by Louis XIV and the locals are still pissed about it. In the 19th Century, the hot thing to do was buy the ruin and make it into a Romantic fantasy castle. They were real fortresses at one time, though.

Kill is not one of those words casually tossed around. "I'm going to destroy Forhan" is the usual hyperbole, but if you say "I'm going to kill Forhan" the table goes quiet with the more savy patrons glancing for the exits

Elliot Forhan, Democrat Candidate for Ohio Attorney General, went on his TikTok account to call for the execution of President Trump.
“I want to tell you what I mean when I saw that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said.
“I mean, I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial, conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment,” he said.
“That is what I mean when I saw that I’m going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan added.

I'm not, either, but the issue he has is that there's nothing he can do within the constraints of the CCP. He's making noises that they need more state intervention in the economy. Yeah, that always works.
Also, constantly decapitating the military means it can't perform. What will happen if he does go after Taiwan and fails? Or - more likely - China is too short on oil to try it. What if the people riot and demand his ouster and the Army - seething with resentment - stands down?
That happened in 1989. Units refused orders to roll over the students. That's why they have National Armed Police now, but what if those units balk? Very dicey situation, and rounding up your most respected commanders - men who you grew up with by the way - is a desperate move.

It's a move, but it speaks of weakness. You don't mobilize troops if you think you have the upper hand. The guy just disappears.

My only thought is that I wonder if there is a faction that wanted immediate action to take action before Trump rebuilt the USA and made it much more impervious to their style of warfare (cutting essential goods for our supply chain, creating disturbance around the world that overwhelm,....) and a faction that wanted to wait and keep building strength.
Don't know which side is which though -- I always thought the military was way more militant than Xi, but not sure.

Why should he waste any time or political capital assisting millionaire Marxists who despise his voters, and who are hated by them in return?

Some things were not, in fact, better in the good ole days. Cars really did get better. I think they peaked in the late 90s or early aughts. Good tolerances, good manufacturing, good engineering. Plenty of efficiency, generally very good reliability, decent comfort and a nice spread of features - all without too much high-tech bullshit that makes them impossible to work on or everything being crammed into tiny spaces for CAFE standards - and fewer gee-gaws to break because there was still a desire for something that wasn't a smartphone on wheels.

There has been a complete inversion in power curves. Xi's best chance to invade was between 2022 and early 2025, when the military was demoralized and understrength, led by DEI nitwits and distracted by endless ancillary training modules that wasted time better spent on readiness.
I think Trump's belligerency when he came in, demanding parades and flyovers was an attempt to wave off China because we were still really weak. That's why Hegseth did the "all call" for the generals and talked the war talk - he wanted China (and Iran, and Russia) to hear it.
China is now going to be the one wasting training time teaching "Xi Jinping thought" and hunting for counterrevolutionaries.
As to the military, if they have any brains at all, they would regard invading Taiwan with existential dread.

Might not need to. The CCP has been playing a very long game of infiltration and subversion in Taiwan. I don't know if Xi is confident enough in his roadmap to take invasion off the table or not, but if he has, it could explain why he is comfortable purging the military and rebuilding it in his own image.
That's getting off into the ragged edges of wild speculation, though.

My great-grandfather had a car (a Saxon) in 1916, and flat tires were so common that one spare wasn't often enough. You just got out and patched it, pumped it, and put it back on.
As a young driver, I had a small tool kit in the trunk, regularly had to chance flats, carried a bottle of oil because it burned so much, had to check the oil frequently, kept a wire coat hanger for if/when the muffler fell off (it did) and so on. I've never had the check the oil in a modern car. It just tells you. Also, oil changes are far less frequent.

I was there for a conference, spending the nights at a hotel that ran like $500+ per night and walking through Thunderdome to the Moscone Center and other hotels and restaurants.
I told my mom how awful I found it and she said, "oh, that's sad. It was so nice when I was there."

Taiwan is going to outbreed China the way things are going. There are reports that China's population is already well below official figures, closer to 1.2 billion, some say even less.

The Marxists have been playtesting how to defeat us. And we have been giving them infinite respawns. That's madness.
The Marxists may be many things but Stupid is not one of them. Given time, they will eventually figure it out. And generations will be enslaved in poverty to die of mass starvation or freeze to death.
Worse, I'm afraid America is more of a miracle than we appreciate. The Founding Fathers may have been unique. Even if a Marxist tyranny is eventually overthrown, the elements necessary to forge the dream that was Rome may no longer exist.
If we fail, it will be the 2nd Fall of Atlantis. We will blur into legend, and then myth. We have an obligation to humanity to not let this Republic fall.

Model T looked spindly, but they were tough as nails. They had to be. Ford engineers discovered Vanadium as an alloy for steel, and used it in axles. It lends remarkable properties to steel, there’s a photo of an axle being twisted like a pretzel. It would be able to be unwound with no damage.

Of course. Chinese culture considers military service to be shameful, bandits with uniforms. The Chicoms tried to change that, but as I've said before, the US and Chinese militaries are roughly the same size in terms of total force.
The US is able to sustain itself using voluntary recruitment and did so despite fighting two increasingly unpopular wars. Recruiting collapsed under Biden, but is now going like gangbusters.
With four times the population, China must use conscription to fill out the ranks. BTW, one of the generals just placed under arrest was part of the military aristocracy, a career officer son of one of Mao's generals. His dad was buddies with Xi's dad. So what little military culture they have is being torn apart.

Yes, but Stalin still had a deep bench of combat-experienced men and a much stronger military culture. Also, the Russians took weapons seriously because they were more paranoid than Communist.
Chicoms have no military culture, and will happily sell cheap, defective equipment to the troops to make a buck, and flee to Vancouver when the fuzz rolls in.

The difference between Mandarin and Cantonese.
It’s not understood by the other .
Cantonese is the main language of Chinese immigrants to the west. It’s spoken in Hong Kong,Macau
Mandarin is the official language of China and as you can imagine the CCP pushes its use and doesn’t allow broadcasts or school use of Cantonese in a lot of Cantonese areas.

The Japanese rapidly translated European books of science and then the Chinese devoured them. They ignored Europeans as barbarians to their great detriment.
The other day in a hospital, I saw the usual multi-lingual sign, but for the first time pondered how close Mandarin and Japanese writings are.

Japanese also has a much more complex grammar. They "borrowed" writing from the Chinese, then realized it wasn't good enough to map to their spoken language. So they invented an alphabet (a syllabary, actually, since every character is a syllable, not a phoneme) to add on to the Chinese. Mostly for conjugation.
So Japanese has kanji (Chinese pictograms), plus hiragana and katakana (which cover the same sounds, sort of like cursive vs block printing). Hiragana is used for most "Japanese" words, and katakana for transliterated foreign words. Katakana is also used for uncommon animal names (nobody expects you to remember the kanji for "blue-footed booby") and for emphasis, like typing in ALL CAPS.

The fact that Xi didn't make his Taiwan move during President Auto Pen's reign sort of telegraphed their current state.

Last hiring was about 6 months ago...300,000 new Riot police. My cousin was over there just a couple of months ago and said she was surprised by the overall attitude of the people she met (family included). They are losing their "compliance at all costs" attitude, and questioning high level decisions. Lots of factory jobs have been lost, and workers are not happy. The AI push isn't being taken well either. Then add that people are being locked out of their homes if their credit score below a certain threshold. Lots of new homeless in China.

2nd wave was under Cromwell during the Civil Wars. After he had to take a couple of castles twice, he vowed to never leave one he’d had to capture in serviceable condition, and he knocked down curtain walls, etc whenever he took one.
The two best preserved castles in England are Windsor and the Tower of London. Both were untouched because Cromwell liked them so much that he took them for his personal use, and wouldn’t allow anyone to harm them.

Without the alphabet/syllabary/phonetic-characters that Japanese added, the Chinese just use common character "words" that are pronounced the correct way to transliterate foreign words.
Thus the apocryphal story of Coca-Cola being written as "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse attached with wax" in Chinese.
Coke currently has an "official" transliteration for Ko Ka Ko La: 可口可乐. Allow-mouth-allow-happiness. "Something palatable that brings joy."

Or... something I've been hearing lately that I think better describes them:
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution."
It's always about power over others. These people are not the flip side of our coin, they are not your fellow countrymen. They are control freaks who will never leave us alone, any more than an abusive man would let his wife divorce him.

The Downfall of Numenor is about sin, how the faithful became corrupted. That's it. That's the story. Men accept the Land of the Star gratefully, but then become greedy, and resent death, and turn on the elves but are still their ancient allies, and fight Sauron because he is their ancient enemy, but the idea of bringing him back as a trophy appeals to their pride and vanity, and he corrupts them even more.
Old Testament stuff.

He noted that there is a difference between allegory and applicability. The themes of Lord of the Rings are applicable to other things, but it is not a this=that code.
Animal Farm is allegory. You can't really take it seriously any other way. Tolkien hated that kind of thing where the story was just a mask for the real story. Just tell the real story, and if it resonates, it is because it applies to other things.

You are right that a lot of his writings are of that era. Anyone trying to argue that he was using post-war Europe as his template is disastrously wrong, and he even explained (in detail!) that if he was writing allegory, the Ring would not have been destroyed but used to overthrow Sauron, and then the West would fight amongst itself while Saruman discovered the secret of making his own One Ring and the two sides would square off in the Cold War.

Insurgencies by definition are a small group of people that use asymmetric techniques to demoralize and ultimately defeat a much larger and better equipped ruling population. In this case the insurgents are funded by billionaires including Neville Singham and the usual cast of characters. They also own what's left of the media and that's not nothing because this is an information and influence campaign more than anything.
Best thing we can do is stay resolved and not splinter. Not even when we think one who is fighting for us isn't doing everything we think is going fast or extreme enough. Their mission is to divide us, it's literally the only way they can win.
Everyone who is against them is on my side even if they aren't perfect. We settle personal scores later. We earned a reprieve with Trump but he's not going to be around forever and all we did was stop them. Now we have to go crush them.
I'm sick of hearing how scary they are. They need to start being afraid of us. Go ICE! Deport all of them.

A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

Korean Hangul is the same sort of thing. Korea adopted Chinese characters, though it had had a sort of syllabary before that, due to the influence that Chinese and Confucianism had over the region. King Sejong developed Hangul to better record Korean, using Sanskrit as an inspiration, and developing the really mobile syllable blocks.
They still use Chinese characters, the older people still read them so they are found sprinkled in the papers and books .

Tolkien had so much depth that it is frankly humbling. The guy was a historian, linguistic genius, even did Bible translations. His discussions of the Valar are directly linked to the Council of God and the orders of angels.
It's all happy fun with dragons, but if you dig deeper, it's crazy how much he wove into it. He is a great teaching tool, a pathway to the world of the Unseen, the spirit realm.

Didn't Tolkien specifically set out to write a "Hero's Journey" myth for the Christian world? We didn't have an Epic of Gilgamesh, an Odyssey, or a Journey To The West, because the Bible is not myth. King Arthur is relatively weak sauce in comparison to the likes of Gilgamesh and Heracles.

From what I understand, he thought England had been robbed by the Roman conquest of its inherent mythology, so he set out to write one.
Also, he explicitly wanted to write a world that had not had a savior or the concept of eventual triumph of good. He was also trying to explore Nordic fatalism in a lot of ways. He thought the idea of fighting on, when you KNOW you will lose AND there is no victory in the afterlife was the ultimate form of courage.
He was exploring a lot of themes.

Which is sort of funny, because Gandalf saved his party by going mano-a-mano with the balrog of Moria, fell into the underworld with it, defeated it, and returned later, so changed that his closest friends didn't recognize him. Sounds familiar.....

Partially correct. Tolkien absolutely believed in the afterlife, and the spirit realm (and life after death) is infused into his work. The fatalism is that in the *material world* evil seems to keep winning, and he uses the Long Defeat to describe how evil seems to be winning but God's victory remains ultimately assured.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Speed Up Rebuilding LA
I don't know if he can do this but someone needs to do something.
Like I said, I can't imagine Trump has any power like this. The feds can't just set aside state laws. Even if the state in question is a basket-case run by lunatics.
President Trump is sidestepping thumb-twiddling California Democrats with an executive order aimed at fast-tracking the rebuilding of Los Angeles a year after devastating wildfires torched entire city blocks and left thousands homeless. "I want to see if we can take over the city and state and just give the people their permits they want to build," Trump told the California Post Friday in an exclusive Oval Office interview when he signed the seven-page order.
Trump pointed the finger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the painfully slow rebuilding of homes ravaged by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive blazes in LA history. Wildfires destroyed an estimated 16,000 structures, but Los Angeles city and county officials have only issued 2,600 permits to rebuild so far.
In all, less than 15% of all homes destroyed by the fires have received necessary approvals to move forward, according to the Trump administration. Trump's order is designed to "preempt" the building permit process -- and empower the federal government to maneuver around the needless obstacles imposed by Democratic leaders. The order calls out the "nightmare" of delays and "bureaucratic malaise" at the California state and local levels -- and it will almost certainly be challenged by Democrats in power in the Golden State, despite displaced residents literally crying out to be made whole again. Jessica Rogers, a Pacific Palisades resident who lost everything in the wildfires, burst into tears of joy when she learned the federal government was stepping in to pick up the slack. ... Trump, a former real estate developer, said he was compelled to step in after touring the fire damage a year ago with first lady Melania Trump and seeing the devastation firsthand. He said he was shocked to see that even a year later, "there's nobody building." ... Under the order, the heads of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) will issue regulations to preempt state and local permitting requirements and allow builders to self-certify to a federal agency that they have complied with health, safety and building standards.
... Newsom spokeswoman Tara Gallegos hit back at Trump, calling the president "an old clueless idiot who believes that the state and federal governments can issue local rebuilding permits and LA gets its water from the Pacific Northwest." Gallegos said Trump has "demonstrated a complete lack of leadership or compassion for this community." She charged Trump is concerned with "picking out gaudy gold décor and new flooring for his unnecessary remodel" as the community is "still waiting for him to grant disaster recovery funding. "He should keep LA out of his mouth unless he is planning to grant them the federal disaster funding they need."Such tough-guys!

There are a few reservoirs in the LA area, one is in the hills behind Palisades. The state let them run dry out of neglect. One near me is full and very pretty from the nearby trails.

It's all upside, and he gets Newscum to claim "credit" for nothing being done. They'll gleefully go to court, and arguments will be presented documenting California's shitshow regulatory environment, so Trump wins even if he loses.
I think he expects to lose, but will rally swing voters who like the idea of "doing something" when people have no homes.

A cynical view of this is that the fires were
allowed to burn intentionally, and CA prevents rebuilding because they intend to acquire the properties at bargain prices.
I wonder what the largely Democrat voters of Pacific Palisades think about how their government has done them. Changed their view at all?

The opposite. All the shit about "political capital" and "pick your battles" ? Crap told to you by Old School Boomer Republicans.
Trump is showing you how easy it is. Even Trump can do it. Just get up, every day, and fight them on every front. You know - just like every Liberal President does.
Now imagine what could happen when somebody with some focus and discipline gets the job. With an attention span over fifteen minutes. Without the need to go to Twitter.

I doubt that will work. This is asinine. It will do nothing but cost.
I'm very Trumpy overall, but I want not one thin dime or one ounce of effort to go into California. Nothing. Let them reap what they have sown. It is a state of communists, demons and traitors who do nothing but obstruct and oppress their own residents and attempt to butt-fuck everyone else in the country. The mere idea of helping California fills me with bile.

Trump likes to treat the media like a lazy kitty that can't resist a laser pointer. He's bored with Walz, that's going to be more of a slow burn anyway, so now he's going to pick a fight in California. Let the FBI turn the crews in peace and quiet.

New Years Celebrations were banned in China this year. They even fenced off town squares. Crowds came out to count, and the lights went out. No reason given, other than Xi Jinping is afraid of crowds right now.
No big deal, you say, it's not a major holiday, but it has become popular, and last year it was a major tourist draw. Been that way for a while.
It's now being confirmed that 1,000 PLA officers (and their families) are being rounded up. Troops gathering in Beijing, all other garrisons told to stand down. The Central Military Committee, a combination of Joint Chiefs and Cabinet, is basically wiped out. Xi is exercising direct contacts outside official lines. (cont)

Some say Xi wants to move on Taiwan and the generals demurred. It's likely going to end in a bloodbath, with most troops getting sunk en route by a combination of Japanese subs, Taiwan's drone swarms and Chinese operational ineptitude. Cult of personality dictatorships rarely produce veteran troops. China's last major military conflict was against Vietnam in 1979 and they got owned. BTW, Xi is removing the last veterans of that conflict from higher command, always smart to get those guys out of the way before the next war.

Xi has a remarkable track record of acting just in time to maintain and expand his position. There have been a couple of coup attempts (or at least, real and meaningful coup plots) against him and he keeps winning. He has enough power and allies to get wind of them, and he moves fast to shut them down.
This *looks* like a big move, but it's hard to tell with Red China.

Xi knows what happened in 1911, how Yuan Shi-kai was plucked from retirement by the Empress to put down a mutiny of his subordinates and to do so, he demanded full command authority. He got it, and deposed the monarchy, declaring himself president. He died in 1916, inaugurating the warlord era. Everyone in China knows this.
Communists cannot give a promise worth anything. It's all self-interest. When the Party is powerful, the Army is loyal, but the Party is stumbling, and the Army is worried at how many of its officers are getting purged. Xi appointed all the guys he's removing. He's burning his own cronies. That can't go on for long.

Xi doubtless wants to be the only emperor in modern - or even near-modern - history to fully reunify China, but I kind of doubt that this is about Taiwan (at least for now). It could be, but I suspect this is defeating a major coup attempt out of the PLA. Whether that coup attempt - of that's what this is, of course - was about Taiwan, I have no idea.

That's a good point, which reminds me of how Trump is now using Obama's victory over Arizona in establishing the supremacy of Federal authority over the enforcement of immigration law. With all the noise Democrats have been making about how they'll do this and that the next time they're in power, have they said something about forcing localities to allow buildings they don't want? Like rapefugee/immivader housing projects in the suburbs?
Maybe Trump's just baiting them into taking the unpopular side of another 80/20 for kicks and giggles, but he has advisers clever enough to do two things at a time, so maybe there's a more strategic angle to it. Like, winning something elsewhere and blocking future socialist schemes, if they lose in L.A. now.

An Investigation Into Ilhan Omar's Sudden Fortune and Foreign Dealings Was Opened -- Under the Biden Administration
And when the Corruption Hawks of the Biden Administration think that you're grifting money from foreign interests, you're shadier than a $400,000 Hunter Biden "watercolor."
The Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The inquiry, initiated by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington and the department's public integrity unit in June of that year, appears to have stalled for lack of evidence, according to one of the people who requested anonymity to discuss internal department matters.Uh-huh.
The investigation appeared to be thrust into the public spotlight on Monday, when President Trump blindsided department officials by posting about it on Truth Social, singling out Ms. Omar. It was part of a rambling statement announcing a shake-up of the team overseeing immigration raids in Ms. Omar's Minneapolis district that misspelled her name. "The DOJ and Congress are looking at 'Congresswoman' Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars," he wrote. "Time will tell all." It was not clear whether Mr. Trump was referring to another investigation altogether or how he arrived at the $44 million figure. Ms. Omar, a Somali-born refugee who emigrated to the United States when she was 12, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. "Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you're panicking," she wrote on social media on Monday. "Right on cue, you're deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of 'investigations' have found nothing."
... Ugly personal attacks against Ms. Omar have been a staple of Mr. Trump's speeches since her election to Congress in 2018, when she and Representative Rashida Tlaib, Democrat of Michigan, made history as the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Ms. Omar's sharp criticism of Israel, her repetition of antisemitic tropes and her comparison of U.S. actions to those of Hamas have elicited bipartisan criticism. But few people have demonized her more than Mr. Trump, who has veered into racist and xenophobic vitriol, in the view of Ms. Omar and other critics of the president. ... In recent weeks, House Republicans have threatened to open their own investigation into Ms. Omar, an apparent effort to tie her to the Minnesota fraud scandal that has revealed evidence that some members of the Somali community set up companies that billed state agencies for social services that were never provided. Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has vowed to subpoena Ms. Omar's husband. His venture capital firm made millions over the past few years, according to Ms. Omar's financial disclosures. No evidence has yet been produced showing that Ms. Omar was connected to the fraud scheme. A spokeswoman for Ms. Omar said her office had received no official inquiries from the Oversight Committee or the Justice Department. Mr. Comer is still seeking to raise ethical questions about how Ms. Omar's husband has been able to accumulate his wealth and he has promised an update on a potential investigation soon.
🚨How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 26, 2026
This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…
Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’
In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it… pic.twitter.com/VoQd5ppGur
Adam HousleyThe whole business is accused of being a, get this, fraudulent scheme.
@adamhousley So after doing a quick dive. This was a virtual winery with basically one wine that nobody in wine country had ever heard of. There is absolutely zero chance the valuation on this went from $20,000 to $ 5 million in one year.
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's husband accused of swindling investor in their California wineryI guess that's why it's a "virtual winery." They literally just took grapes given to them by a "client" and put them into barrels. And somehow this turned into a $40 million business in a year.
Tim Mynett and his business partner Will Hailer deny defrauding the investor, while another company they started owes $1.2 million to cannabis growers in South Dakota
In fall 2021, D.C.-area restaurant owner Naeem Mohd was presented with an unbelievable investment opportunity. Two political operatives turned venture capitalists would triple Mohd's money in just 18 months if he invested $300,000 in their new California winery. The pair had been paid in grapes by a former client and had hired a well-respected Sonoma winemaker to turn those grapes into profit.
They promised if they didn't pay Mohd the full $900,000 on time, they would tack on 10% monthly interest on any outstanding balance, according to the contract shared with the Minnesota Reformer. The offer might have seemed suspicious if not for the person making it: Tim Mynett, a well-connected political consultant and husband to U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom he married in 2020. Mynett came recommended by Mohd's attorney, Faisal Gill, a former Democratic operative himself who knew Mynett from his days working on Keith Ellison's congressional campaigns. Mynett and Gill had been friends since. Omar endorsed Gill in his unsuccessful bid for L.A. County Attorney, and Gill donated $1,000 to Omar's campaign in 2021. "I trusted Tim," Gill said in an interview. "If it was not for Tim, the deal would have never happened." Mohd wired the $300,000 to Mynett and his long-time business partner Will Hailer, with whom he founded a political consultancy called E Street Group in 2018. But 18 months came and went without Mohd receiving the 200% return he was promised from the winery, eStCru. Mynett and Hailer only returned Mohd's $300,000 -- about a month late -- according to a lawsuit Gill filed on behalf of Mohd in California last fall seeking at least $780,000. The complaint, which has not been previously reported, claims the pair "fraudulently misrepresented ... that estCru, LLC was a legitimate company." Hailer and Mynett deny they defrauded Mohd. Rather, they say they simply struggled to build a successful business in a challenging industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. "ESTCRU LLC like many wineries is living invoice to invoice, sale to sale to stay afloat given the economic conditions of the industry," Hailer wrote in response to a list of questions from the Reformer. Hailer declined requests for an interview on the phone. The winery's struggling finances represent a significant change in fortune for Mynett and Hailer since Omar announced she would no longer use their firm E Street Group on her campaigns after paying them around $3 million in the 2020 election. Still, Hailer defended the potential for large returns in the wine business, writing, "If any investor put $X dollars in to allow the company to purchase grapes and we turned those grapes into bottles of wine that we sold you would see a 3 or 4x return."This sounds like a scam. Actual wineries struggle to make this much of a return. Heck, they struggle to save into business. So this "business's" big innovation is to just not bother growing the grapes yourself?

I doubt it. That would require *some* infrastructure. Bottles and filling equipment and distribution and whatnot.
I bet it's a "white label" operation. Some real wine outfit - purely because of their scale and tremendous amount of business at all levels globally, I would make a wild guess that it's Gallo - just slaps their label on it and drops it into distribution at the client's direction, or uses their own distribution for a bigger cut.
Just like lots of "store brand" goods. The store specifies the formulation or picks from the menu, and the manufacturer puts their label on it and sends it out the door.

Easily could have.
It's the "valuation," not the value. How was the valuation determined? All it would take is one Party-connected "investor" throwing a million bucks at the Party Preference in exchange for 20% of the "business" (which makes it not a donation subject to reporting, just a bum investment - oh whoops, whoopsie, this one didn't pan out) to arrive at a $5 million "valuation."

It's such a mystery and no one in the MFM is interested in follow-up. It's so very puzzling. I get the sense that they were a tad disingenuous during the election. I suspect they might have been misleading me on other things, too. Don't want to be hasty but I'm having some persistent concerns.

I still don't buy it. That would require work. Even for a bad product, it would require capital and effort, and likely a payroll consisting at *least* of laborers and someone who can make into wine, however bad.

And sourcing grapes off-estate is very common. So those two things don't in themselves raise the least suspicion. The $ numbers obviously do. A valuation like that would need to rest on a hefty revenue number and probably even medium-term contracts, which I believe are completely absent.

Okay, COVID's over. Surely you've gotten some new investors? As far as I can tell, you
1 - get the investors' money,
2 - purchase grapes,
3 - turn those grapes into bottles of wine,
4 - sell them to (investor? any consumer who wants them?),
5 - and pay the investor back 3 or 4 times what he invested.
3 OR 4 TIMES YOUR ORIGINAL INVESTMENT???

So, they don't even source within one region. This is blended wine.
Their Facebook page has ...148 followers.
They are ripping off Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from France. My guess is they were trying to blend up a version of St Cru wine using cheap wine from other Vinters. If they could do it and convince a gullible public their version of St Cru was worth half what the real things costs, fair play. But likely they failed - thousands of people have tried to blend up cheap wine and get it to taste like expensive wines - never works.

They have to launder that stolen US taxpayer money somehow.
I remember drug dealers buying up tons of gift cards with cash at the gas stations all over our town next to the casino. They would take those cards to the casino and run them through the cash machine and get $100 bills. You knew when they were in the casino because there were stacks of discarded gift cards in the trash can next to the atm's.
Once they had pockets full of $$$ they would go and "gamble" on table games putting $20-30,000 on the table to buy chips with. After a couple of bets they cash out and take the chips to the cash windows where they would get checks for the chips. They could take those checks and put them in the bank all perfectly legal.
After a year or so the casino State police unit pretty much shut that avenue down.

NEW: Democrat Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan says he is going to “kill Donald Trump” if he’s elected.
“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” the former Ohio state representative said.
“I mean I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of of due process resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.”

By the way, you can "value" your winery as anything you like. These valuations take into account what you actually own, what you can sell, and what you think your good name is worth. Obviously the later is something you get to set.

It was port wine with lemon juice. I tried it once - not half bad. Port wine has a naturally higher alcohol content then regular wine. 20% ABV. Reg wine is more like 5-15%.
It was made by Gallo and targeted African Americans. Gallo employed celebrity actor James Mason to help market the wine in television ads. The ads are hysterical. Huge seller.

The problem isn't the "investigation" or whatever, the problem is that these "investigations" have an unblemished record of resulting in nothing.

"Years of 'investigations' have found nothing" is the one statement Ilhan has ever made that's objectively true, verifiable, and timeless.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at January 27, 2026 06:43 PM (Px6E0)
She was a demon. All of her physical attractiveness was gone once I started work. Every employee lived in fear of her. She slept her way to the top, everyone knew it, and she knew everyone knew it, and she wanted to wield what power she had, and she was a cruel, mean, nasty piece of work that would make most Karens say "that's too far!"
Literally got fired by her twice. The first time my boss in another division had to intervene and force her to rehire me. The second time she'd run the company into the ground with a lot of help from Obama's regulations, and my entire division got let go.

Key Aspects of Estate Produced Wine:
Definition: The winery must own or control (via long-term lease) 100% of the vineyards.
Production: 100% of the grapes must be crushed, fermented, and bottled on-site.
Appellation: All grapes must be grown within the same American Viticultural Area (AVA) as the winery.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's description of her FGM at age 5, and her sister's at age 4, is the stuff of nightmares. Held down by her grandmother, legs spread, with some man basically using scissors and clippers to cut off her labia and clitoris. With no anesthesia. In a room in their house. No medical personnel. No pain relief. Just reading her describing the incredible pain and screaming will make your knees buckle. Then they both got stitched together and had their legs tied together for weeks to keep them still until a thick layer of scar tissue formed. Ultimately sealing together their vaginas, leaving them flat with no opening and only a small trickle for peeing. This apparently goes on until these women are married and the husband busts through the scar tissue, leaving them in blinding pain.

Except these women have no idea what they're missing. They simply hate having sex; there's nothing in it for them and men are insatiable.
As for the men, there's evidence that they're affected by a field of partners consisting of "tabletops," as mutilated women are called.

One of the big Gallo industrial wineries is about a mile down the road from my shop. Looks like an oil refinery with a shit-load of huge storage tanks. Has it's own rail spur and they load tanker cars all the time, probably to send off raw wine for bottling in other facilities.
Everything looks like it's made from stainless steel. I imagine that the wine is very... fresh.

Well, here's the thing: you know that you are capable of making it fun for the woman, or at least that is part of your goal.
Your typical Muzzie has no such goal and probably wouldn't be capable of performing it anyway. They're pathologically insecure about their sexual prowess. That's why they keep their women in harems, put bags over their heads, and so on... to make sure they don't meet any men who might be capable of pleasing a woman. In the extreme, they use surgery to make sure she can't possibly be pleased by anyone.
It is a sick, sick culture and it needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth.

MSNBC Airs Fake Photo of Dead "Protester" Alex Pretti, Modified by AI to Make Him Look More Masculine, Handsome, and Heroic
NottheBee has a hilarious recap of this latest propaganda from "MSNOW."
Before getting to that: Although the media keeps referring to this terrorist as an "ICU nurse," the truth is he was an unemployed bum who quit his job to be a full-time paid agitator. And he's a violent agitator:
Julie KellyHere's Pretti.
@julie_kelly2 NEW: CNN reporting that Alex Pretti broke a rib during a separate altercation with federal officers a week before he was fatally shot attempting to obstruct an immigration operation. According to sources, Pretti was already known to federal authorities for his involvement in obstructing raids and targeting officers. CNN: "The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back -- an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. Pretti was later given medication consistent with treating a broken rib, according to records reviewed by CNN." OH.

Not exactly. He was issued a permit by the State of Minnesota. Its requited to be on one's person when one carries in that state. He didn't have that on him. So matter what we think of Minnesota's gun laws and the constitutionality of requiring a permit, its not accurate to assert he was "lawfully carrying".

It's not like the gun was taken and five minutes later they shot him. It was a few camera frames.
In any case, he went to the scene looking for trouble and got it. No one compelled him to go there. So yes, this specific asshole deserved it.

It also requires when encountering an officer, that you tell the officer "I have a gun", where it is, and you don't touch it, but simply point to it.
Gee, I wonder why you can't just hand it to him since, "no cops life is in danger" in the case of one handing it over to the cops.
I mean I was just getting my gun out, and some badly trained cop overreacted!!, just because I'm not supposed to be reaching for it!

I would be interested in a plain description of how that transition "from MAGA mom to lesbian gender goblin" was effectuated. Was there brainwashing involved, like reverse CBT? I presume drugs were involved, but which ones? (Including all, whether recreational, prescription, or OTC.)
Can just any normal person be turned into a psychopath, or does it require a specific vulnerability. Are there telltales along the way that can be used to wake someone up and warn him or her off the path, or at least take measures to guard your interests against them?

But they are equivocating on "concealed carry" because Pretti did nothing according to the rules of "concealed carry". In other words, he was the same as a gangbanger with a piece and not a citizen with a permit.
As I pointed out above, just the idea that you are not to touch your gun in the presence of an officer, indicates that you can't just do what you want because you're not actually trying to kill them, as taking your gun out would not be.
They are trying to make this out as badly trained, when what they are really saying is that these guys are not reacting perfectly enough to people when they feel like obstructing and resisting arrest.
This is typical classic 20th-century Democratic "Our people have no agency."

You can spot the fakes who claim to be conservative as well, because they clearly do not know anything about the law of concealed carry, or how one interacts with the cops.
The reason why lawful gun owners have such spotless backgrounds is because they are acutely aware that being armed comes with additional responsibilities. Picking a fight with a cop while packing heat is a great way to get shot, as we've seen.

Exactly on both accounts. No sane, sober, rational gun owner/concealed carrier would do the things this idiot did. Namely, bring a gun to a place where he had a reasonable expectation of being in a confrontation with the cops, then get into a confrontation with the cops, etc. etc. It's stupidity all the way down.

I thought he did, and one of the cops got it, but other cops while grappling heard the "GUN!" saw the empty holster and that he had something in his hand and immediately eliminated the threat.

In the mostly widely seen video, one officer pushes someone (presumably "the woman" but who knows) and Pretti steps in between them very close to the officer. Then he gets dogpiled. What exactly happens after that is what is in dispute.

I doubt it's something most of them would say aloud, but I think deep down, they know our society will not tolerate their deviance yet, and their only hope of a self-actualized life is a Marxist takeover that will allow them to run wild on helpless children.

Not just one incident. He broke a rib apparently from chasing ICE around earlier this month. That should have been the time for some introspection. Nope, went back for round two with a gun. He escalated things again and again. He's responsible for his actions and their results.

Yeah, I don't see why an extreme disregard for the life of others isn't worth punishing as much as "hate".
If you've committed more than one murder, you're a pretty hateful person by definition.
But "hate crimes" are a way the lefty/Dems had of making sure that while they were generally soft on crime, the crimes they didn't like were the most punished.

Tim Walz: ICE Arresting Illegal Alien Killers and Rapists Is Just Like the Nazis Hunting Anne Frank; CNN Guest: ICE Is Going to Start Putting People "In Ovens"
The Party of Smart People, everybody.
Tim Walz stunned reporters Sunday by comparing illegal aliens facing ICE enforcement in Minnesota to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis, reaching for a Holocaust analogy as he attacked President Trump's immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities. Standing before reporters, Walz claimed that children across Minnesota are now afraid to leave their homes because of the administration's expanded ICE presence. "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside," he said, invoking Anne Frank's diary as a parallel. "Many of us grew up reading that story. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota."
Walz again compares enforcing our nation's immigration laws to Nazi Germany: "Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota."

US Holocaust Museum
@HolocaustMuseum Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.
Fat gay retard communist embarrasses himself. Breaking news.
Meanwhile, on CNN, the Jewish Jake Tapper was informed that DHS illegal alien detention facilities are "concentration camps" and that ICE hasn't started putting people into ovens... "yet." Jake Tapper seems to squirm a little but I'm quite sure he wasn't rude to his leftwing pal.

Lotsa whining and boo-hooing from the left about people (supposedly) afraid to leave their houses. Well ... why are they afraid? Because they're illegal criminals? Then they should be afraid.
Retards like Walz and others are only highlighting why ICE is there in the first place: because the city is crawling with criminal illegals. It's about time criminals start fearing law enforcement again.
If you're an immigrant in the country legally, you have zero to fear from ICE. Like, literally zero. It's sorta like walking through security at the airport. If you're not packing a machine gun and a pound of coke, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you do, then you should be worried.
One more thing to those illegals hiding from ICE in their houses: ICE can get you in your house too.

"Even under Republican presidents, we're left alone." It's the thinking that immigrants could have until 2025.
No Republican will ever run for president and have a chance on anything less than mass deportations for a generation.
The incentives have changed. Completely. "I can just hang out in the shadows and maybe eventually I'll just get citizenship," doesn't work anymore when every 4 years we can get another president who says, "ICE going door to door is the mild option."

I think all poor criminals should be deported to enlightened countries with maximum diversity (as few white people as possible) and socialized medicine to free them of the bounds of capitalism.
Save them from the hellscape that is America.

Ah, but nobody is shooting paint balls at them if they do go out.
So we went through worse in 2020.
We actually did. 2021 was a lot more like Nazi Germany. What with armed soldiers lining the streets of DC, and AGs like Dana Nessel threatening and performing prosecutions on what you weren't supposed to use your speech rights for: questioning the validity of an election.
And they can't even say "Well, some Nazi Germany because so-and-so were free to say such-and-such without consequences."
No, they tried to silence all dissent as "dangerous".
But again, in a world of free-flowing fantasy, that doesn't even have to be as bad as it was. We were "all in it together", though some of us were in the French Laundry without a mask, while the White Witch of Michigan wouldn't let people look at paint in stores.
Anybody who thinks this is more repressive than 2020 is LARPing.

A simple and classic deterrence situation.
Even if in their infinite idiocy the American people put another cretin like Obama or Biden in the WH, there will be a significant deterrent effect *if* there has been a thorough removal of the massive current illegal population.
Anything less - and every disastrously stupid hint of amnesty in any form for anyone - and this Trump term is just a brief speed bump, with the process to resume later. It's amazing to see elected GOP like the idiot governor of OK use the term "immigration reform" while whining about "tactics" and optics. But I also see many online non-idiotic non-totalitarian/racist types musing about how icky it all is, and hinting at "compromise" and ..... amnesty. Intending illegal migrants are as rational and practical as these weak-minded little girl adults are emotional and reckless.

The original battery in my late wife's 2019 Mini Copper is going bad. I get the caution that the battery has excessive discharge going on whenever I turn the motor off. Not a surprise given the battery is over six years old.
I figured I'd buy a new battery for it and install it myself. I've done that plenty of times in my life on other cars I've owned.
I popped the hood on the Mini and couldn't locate the battery. So, I went to YouTube to search for a tutorial and found one.
Holy shit!
The amount of things that have to be removed first just to get to the battery is effin' ridiculous.
It's a Mini, space is of a premium, I get it. But damn...

Male authority over women has essentially been outlawed. You so much as object to anything destructive or antisocial a does it's abuse. You'll get hit with a divorce, DVRO or both if it's your wife. Or socially you get shamed and demeaned. You get marginalized/ostracized in friend circles and church congregations. It's a bad state of affairs.

You have to read these. They're entertaining as hell. One of the best is some parent claiming the schools are "training" the elementary students on how to deal with ICE if they come to the schools.

No, it's simply an observation that as a conversation proceeds without end the probability that someone will mention Hitler approaches 1.
People made that stupid "you lose' argument, when Nazis are the generally agreed example of a empiric standard or "evil".
It means nothing more than that somebody is using the non-sectarian, secular, *mostly* universal* standard of what definitely is not good ("Mostly universal": apart from the middle east and Muslim South East Asia where Mein Kampf has been a best seller.)
A conversation:
"Hey, you know what I just noticed about Germany in the 30s, the Nazis-"
"You lose! You mentioned the Nazis!"

It's one thing to be lorded over by Stalin and Beria. It's quite another to be lorded over by men like John Brennan and Tim Walz, who try to read bowls of spaghetti-os. It's quite sad, and I think it may be unique in modern times, since we got away from inbred monarchs - and they at least had some real brainiacs around to help rein in their rampant tardery.

Employers are being prosecuted.
But people want Lenar prosecuted even though Lenar subcontracts employment and can't be held legally liable for subcontractors hiring illegals knowingly.
And saying, "Deporting more than 10 million in 4 years isn't good enough," is silly.

“You need to move your car,” the tall, dark haired agent said, Hitlerishly.
“I’m.. I’m.. a legal observer!” she blurted out, her face flushed. It was at this moment she legally observed his rippling muscles and deep, piercing gray-blue eyes.
“I’ll have to arrest you, then, and you don’t want that. Please move your car.”
Her skin tingled as sweat broke out. Defiantly she said, “Don’t you dare put your big, strong NAZI hands on me and pin me down on the road and cuff my arms behind my back!” But it came out as a breathy whisper, all resistance drained from her. She was once again a shy schoolgirl, bashful and ashamed.
“You smell like cat pee,” he said, as he pulled her from the vehicle. “I only took this ICE job to get some exercise. It’s lonely being a 38 year-old single billionaire vampire.”

Egregious and insulting things can be made more egregious and insulting and sometimes in the siliiest ways. That said, aniversaries have meant something to people since we started keeping calendars. There are many who don't know the day or month or year their recent ancestors perished . They are honored today. It's one day. And failing to honor such things is the path to oblivion.

They already passed a DHS/ICE funding bill, right? Reddit dems were flipping out over 7 "traitors" that joined Republicans to increase ICE funding. If true, a shutdown would affect them, but I'm not sure if it was just a part of the general budget they were bitching about.
Posted by: Military Moron at January 27, 2026 04:22 PM (JCZqz)
They did not. There are departments funded - DOW and DHS are 2 biggies that are not (although ICE has enough funds until 2028, so it will not be hurting under the shutdown)...
SNAP is funded, DOJ is funded, so some issues from last time won't occur again.

Yeah, I don't usually leave the "Red Wall" speech out.
There was a theory that advertisers used to put subliminal messages about cancer into ad pictures because the subconscious fear of cancer in smokers would make them anxious and feel week and reach for a cigarette to "calm their nerves".
That's what I felt about that speech. It's a signal that can easily be denied. A dog whistle to their opponents that "Yes, you should be afraid." And because it wasn't overly overt, the supporters can just screw up their face and say "What are you talking about?!"

"SCRAMBLE LIKE COCKROACHES": Minnesota State Police Deploy LRAD Against Rioters
The tactical environment in Minnesota has reached a new level of enforcement. Minnesota State Police were captured on video testing and deploying the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) to disperse crowds of radical agitators who have been attempting to paralyze federal operations.
The device was recorded being tested with a verbal count before the high-decibel acoustic waves were directed at the crowd.
As the LRAD was activated, rioters were seen scrambling in all directions, with officers repeatedly commanding the crowd to "Move back!"
Unlike standard megaphones, the LRAD is a non-lethal weapon that uses focused sound to create physical discomfort, forcing even the most committed agitators to retreat.

Assumes facts not in evidence. For reasons known but to God, most American Jews are urban lefty retards.

She detected a hint of vulnerability. But in a bad boy kind of way, not in a way that would give her the ick.
“I’m actually a minotaur.”
A rich, minotaur-vampire NAZI she thought. I can fix him. Only I can save him and turn him into a man who cares about social justice. The kind of man I would be attracted to.
But can he save me? Her mind was racing. She needed and ativan and a box of wine to help her think clearly.

FIRE ALL AWFLs: Virginia Nurse Says She'll Use Drugs to Paralyze and Poison ICE Agents
She works for VCU Health -- which says that her calls to paralyze and poison people are "inappropriate" and under investigation, but they have not fired her.
She's currently suspended and not in a position to poison patients -- but no firing.
Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food. Any comment @VCUHealth
? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?

Now she needs to have her nursing license revoked. https://t.co/UvFoePqAIi pic.twitter.com/lJRTFxBqzM
We have "red flag" laws for guns. We need red flag laws for health care workers -- if someone informs the authorities that you are an ideologically-twisted sociopath or borderline personality disorder bitch, you need to have your licenses pulled until you can demonstrate to a panel that you have completed 6-12 months of psychological counseling and testing. If it saves just one life, right?

How many health care jobs exist solely because of the crush of illegals using the system for free?
How many have reported emergency rooms packed with nothing but non-English speakers?
Every government program in every blue state is a minimum of 30% fraud.
How many billions are we paying for this?
How many thousands of AWFLs are we employing merely to take care of illegals?
The deportation of illegals and the ending of the fraud isn't just an existential, extinction-level event for the Democrats ...
It is going to wipe out 3-4 generations of leftie culture.
That "Life of Julia" they put out wasn't aspirational for the future--it was descriptive of several decades of female college graduates. School, college, gov job, gov retirement.

In the late 90's I taught as a clinical adjunct professor in the med center. My 12 students a year were a minority of people who wanted to be nurses. The others were former EMT's and LPN's who wanted their RN license for better pay.
I saw immediately the difference, and not just my age, because some were nearly my age.
I became a RN at 23yrs old. The 50 of us I graduated with were put through a grinder to graduate (we were told 1/2 of us would not make it and that proved true). We all had the heart of a nurse, if that makes sense. It was an honor, not a paycheck.
While I am all for raised pay for nurses and teachers vs the NFL, these hollow vessels who base politics on care should not share my degree.
I did see that Bondi has told the State Board in FL to end the license for that one nurse. While it is Virginia, I doubt they will comply.
How does this beetch know their politics? It is not listed on information. Does she research every patient? If so, she's not busy enough. If you were assigned to me I would not care how you voted or your job. I was keeping you alive.

Fat ugly chicks, Indians running from malpractice cases, and orderlies from African countries are what you'll find working in hospitals as a rule. Sprinkle in a few Asian woman newbies in the ER right out of UCLA who are marking time until they can open a private practice.
I've worked in and renovated many of the older hospitals in the Western US. Competency, English fluency, and hard work are rare enough to shine like a diamond in a goat's ass in a hospital. I wouldn't trust most nurses and orderlies I meet work as morticians.

You should preferentially distrust nurses. I know that sounds shocking because you're still working on the old image of a profession of caring women.
That's not been true for a long time.
Nursing is a sink for pathological personalities. The number of borderline and narcissistic and sociopathic nurses today is noticeable. You can't not see it unless you've decided not to see it.
It's not mysterious either. Pathological personalities, especially female, are attracted to "caring" professions.
Why?
1. Automatic public trust. Those of you "shocked" by what I'm saying are doing exactly what they want you to. They're trading on an outdated image.
2. Social camouflage to hide their wicked behavior and to make any criticism of them look "unhinged."
3. The ability to control others, especially life and death.
Same reason you see so many insane sociopathic teachers and social workers.

The FNM was desperate to scare people through threats to their children but people started to notice kids were fairly immune to COVID, rather then being able to publish long lists of dead kids the FNM had to keep calling people COVID deniers but with no evidence.
Until a child died from COVID. This was the FNM's moment! They got a bunch of pictures of this, I believe 11 year old, and started claiming he had no co-morbities or anything so COVID was going to kill all the children that didn't get the clot shot
But unfortunately for them people looked at the pictures. The kid was 300lb or more. No co-morbities my ass.
And then that story just...went away...but didn't stop the terror campaign to get people to clot shot their kids

The funny thing is the FNM did, and still does, portray the corporate world as some fun happy land where everyone takes 3 hour lunches and work is sending one stressful email a day.
And obviously, even in a good job that's not true. The stress is high and constant. But this didn't led a lot of the people unhappy with this state to question the lie they were told...they channeled it into an argument this is because of sexism or the like...

My mother was a nurse.
My brother married a nurse.
His son married a nurse.
As a paramedic of 20 years, I had a handful of nurses hit on me. I would not date nurses.

She has an associates degree, and is an RN, and ever since passing her boards has been hounded by every employer to get her BSN, with an eye toward MSN.
(associates' and bachelors' pass THE SAME BOARDS to be licensed).
One of the ways management bean counters keep costs down is to cycle in as many new BSNs as possible, because they are cheaper than experienced RNs of any stripe.
The turnover in the profession is intense, with most credentialing their way up and out to positions that have little to do with bedside care.
ALL RN to BSN programs can be done exclusively online, which tells me yes, it is exclusively a credentialing exercise.
Even ten years ago, in her associates' program classes, the rot that is ed was in nursing.
She took an elective entitled "Public health nursing in a multicultural world", which she though would be helpful--who knows where she might end up, and who she might be serving? Good to know customs, traditions, etc that would make her a better nurse!

When I was a new grad, a friend and classmate (who is one of the biggest liberals I now know) wanted to unionize. She came to me for a vote & I told her I could not, if assigned that day, not work & abandon patients. She was not pleased & I did not care.
It came to a 3 way vote:
Vote for her little union
Vote for ACLU (I was horrified)
NO's won
She was maybe a "real nurse" as a charge RN like me for six months. After this tango, the nursing administration put her as VP or something of nursing (I can't remember). Sort of a bribe to shut her up. She went on for her MS in nursing and to bigger things.
She was very smart, or at least very well spoken. She's gone "far" in her career while I just worked jobs that I liked (always part time) and raised our chimps to be good men. I had fun and was never career focused, altho jobs were created for me as I was smart, dedicated, and can talk to anyone. I can even be charming if needed, which I know is a shock!
I think this person may still be working as I don't know. When I could read her twitter stuff it was obvious she was a radical Dim loon. I could see her protesting.

I was reading a feminist take on the proto indo europeans.
Now history shows that when they domesticated the horse goods with their cultural marking start spreading all over Eurasia along with their male line DNA.
The feminist take? Well obviously the women in the other tribes around them found they PIE men with their horses SO HOT that they stopped having sex with their own men.
As opposed to what actually happened - the PIE men conquered all the tribes around them, killed their men, and took their women.

This is that vacillating universe syndrome.
Past times were so hard on women.
Women were hot for raiders and so as empowered women chose raiders.
When it's more consistent with their general world view that alien men would take the women they want and have their way, through capture or rape.
This is probably why the most represented paternal gene is Central Asian. From Finland to the Americas, where the plains tribes were mostly displaced Huns, or so.

It has nothing to do with the "Trump Era". They eventually used Trump to help it along but...
It was a controlled mobilization effort which was planned earlier but deployed in 2014. I narrated it all right here on these pages, starting in about 2011. The Rise of Women was intended to coincide with eight years of Hillary, but it was all intended to divide, mobilize and weaponize. And it worked.

Remember when pedophiles sought out jobs as school janitors, camp counselors, physician to the gymnastic team, that sort of thing?
Is that what's going to happen to the allied health professions? People who want to deviously kill and harm conservatives will become nurses and slake their blood-thirst?
Nurses become the most suspicious people in the hospital?
Pretty scary. Terrifying, even. I wouldn't want to be taken to the ER with any conservative identifiers on me.

He never grew up from his underground comic origin. He never learned how to make his animation better. He mismanaged every animation team who ever worked for him (word is that he's an awful and abusive manager).
And he's fucking insane. Arrested development from the 60s and addled with drugs.
He's still alive. He put out a short film a few years ago. It's pretty much unwatchable.

They'll want to look east of Plano as west requires WAY too much traffic to navigate. Lake Tawakoni and surrounding areas are still relatively quiet, last time I was out that way.
There are several small towns around that lake that could be considered. Work your way out a radius from there, I would think as a good starting point.
Depends on how far they want to drive.

Male nurse in NJ murdered around 40 patients. There are several more well-publicized cases of nurses murdering patients. So...they already were the most suspicious people in the hospital.

IIRC once of England's most prolific serial killers was a nurse. Amelia Dyer, also a nurse, murdered an estimated 400 or more infants in the 1800s running a baby farm. Male nurse in NJ murdered around 40 patients. There are several more well-publicized cases of nurses murdering patients. So...they already were the most suspicious people in the hospital.

That seems to be the thing is that countries and institutional buyers are demanding delivery as opposed to 3rd party holding. Which many suspected isn't true, much like the bricks painted yellow in fort knox

Renee Nicole Good was killed by ICE. We demand full accountability and ICE out of our communities immediately.
It doesn't seem Ms. Good was affiliated with the SEIU. Following her death, numerous SEIU locals and affiliates (SEIU Local 1; 32BJ SEIU, and SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa) released statements of outrage, mourning, and solidarity with her family.
So at the minimum another union connection in her death, but unlike Peretti's who seems to have been a member of the AFGE. (Yeah, now suing the Trump administration, of course.)
Reportedly,
SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa represents over 50,000 workers, advocating for better pay and healthcare, and, yes, were in demonstrations like the People's March (Jan 2025) to oppose "fascism."
32BJ SEIU is also a large property services union with a presence in multiple cities, and involved in political actions against policies of the Trump regime.
SEIU Local 1: Represents diverse workers across the Midwest, advocating for economic justice and worker rights.
Again, often ANTIFA or not. It depends.

It is demonic to wish that on anyone, much less by someone in her former profession.
All I can say is that I was trained to leave whatever was going on in my life when I clocked in. I had no thoughts of anything except the job ahead. No one died I was responsible for that was not supposed to...and those who did I comforted them and their families.
I can't fathom these thoughts of suffering and murder of patients. They all need to be stripped of their licenses and hauled off.
Shame on them all who think this way. I am thankful to have worked in a time where good care mattered, no matter who the patient was.
At the start of the 4yrs I taught RN's, I told them that it would take a lot of time before I trusted them with medications.Because they could kill someone under my watch.
I guess now these same students would rejoice! And I would fail their liberal butts and kick them out. Thank God I did not have to deal with that!

Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Overrules Lawless Lowly District Judicial Insurrectionist, Removing Bullshit Restrictions on How ICE Can Handle Violent "Protesters"
Who knows, it's possible that this judge's lawless diktat that "protesters" should be allowed to be violent and ICE is barred from responding with non-lethal munitions like tear gas and pepper spray actually led to the death of the violent protesters.
MXM News:
The lowly district court judge and insurrectionist had claimed, in the face of all evidence, that the "protesters" were all uniformly peaceful and therefore ICE was barred from using any non-lethal force against them.
A federal appeals court on Monday stepped in to stop what the Trump administration argued was an extraordinary act of judicial overreach, blocking a Minnesota order that effectively handcuffed federal immigration agents during enforcement operations. The three-judge panel on the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Trump administration and issued a full stay of a January injunction that had restricted how officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement could respond while facing aggressive anti-ICE protests. That lower-court order barred agents from making arrests, detaining individuals, or using pepper spray during confrontations unless heightened legal thresholds were met--rules critics warned would put officers at risk as agitators pressed into enforcement scenes.
In the meanwhile, Kash Patel says he's following the money and the FBI is investigating who is funding these violent revolutionary groups. He also says the FBI is continuing to investigate the fraud network.
Reviewing the same video evidence cited by the district court, the appeals panel flatly rejected the idea that the encounters were uniformly peaceful, writing that the footage showed "a wide range of conduct, some of it peaceful but much of it not," with agents responding to rapidly changing situations.
... U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez had accepted [violent "protesters'"] claims on January 16, finding the plaintiffs likely to succeed on First and Fourth Amendment grounds and issuing a sweeping injunction against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Her ruling cited alleged instances in which agents used pepper spray, pointed weapons, made arrests, and conducted traffic stops against individuals she characterized as peacefully observing or protesting enforcement activity. The appeals court was unmoved, emphasizing that the encounters varied widely--different officers, different protesters, different behavior, different locations--making a blanket prohibition not only unworkable but dangerous. Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the decision as a decisive stand for law enforcement. "Liberal judges tried to handcuff our federal law enforcement officers, restrict their actions, and put their safety at risk when responding to violent agitators," Bondi wrote on X, noting that the Justice Department first secured a temporary pause and has now won a full stay.
FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday the bureau has identified people and groups who are funding leftist protests aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota. During an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast, Patel confirmed that the FBI's investigation into the unrest is active and expanding. "We've got ... investigations ongoing into the funding of this," Patel told Johnson, stressing that the protests are "not happening organically" and that investigators have made "substantial progress" in uncovering groups and individuals financially backing them. Patel also asserted that federal authorities are examining encrypted left-wing chats connected to protest organizers in Minnesota -- warning those involved that they "should be worried" if they have violated federal statutes.Some people are asking: Is this insurrection being staged not to protect illegal aliens but to protect the Democrat Party's fraud-farmers in blue cities? In other words, are they attempting to block further investigation of the Somali and other organized crime looting of the federal treasury? If this is just about protecting criminal illegals, why did the violent "protests" not begin until after the Nick Shirley revelations?!
Arthur MacWaters
@ArthurMacwaters Let me get this straight: 1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent 2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE* 3. once riots happen and people are die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024? The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy. Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims. And people are getting hurt.
Let me get this straight:

@DC_Draino
This entire ICE fight is over the 2030 Census.
Democrats pushed millions of people in blue states to move out with their high taxes, Covid tyranny, and skyrocketing costs of living, so they opened the border floodgates under Biden to replace them with illegals.
President Trump is now mass deporting them so they’re violently fighting back.
The 2030 Census all comes down to the 2028 race though.
If Democrats steal the White House again, these 2030 Census numbers will get rigged worse than the 2020 election.
If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.
Recognize where we are.

I don't think that's accurate. They don't want so many deaths that the faceless minions of evil are discouraged from throwing temper tantrums.
Kyle Rittenhouse demonstrated that threshhold is apparently three in one night.
What they want is the one right death that will get them sympathy with the normies in order to justify larger "protests" and provide the narrative for the next round of election theft in November. Which will coincide with historic midterm trends, so most people will be expecting Dem gains.

Ever seen interviews with activists from the 1968-1974 period? They all say the same thing, "We were convinced that the Revolution was happening. This was IT -- the moment America would fall. We were delirious with anticipation. Any day now, any moment now." Etc.
But of course it didn't happen.
Same with Reagan, same with Bush, yadda yadda, never ending. It's like a doomsday cult that constantly predicts the end iof the World, constantly gets embarrassed when it doesn't end, and then makes another ludicrous prediction, and no one ever points this out.

This isn't 4d chess, there isn't some grand conspiracy to steal the 2030 census, none of that.

It is a bunch of people on both sides trying to get the world and the politics to go on as it has since 1981.
Some because it gives them power, some because it gives them a solid base for their political plans or continuing fraud, some because their plans involve the destruction of the US and want to take power instead, and some because it makes the world simple and easy to understand, and some because "the bed is so warm, I don't want to get up and face the new day"
The participation in a conspiracy is as varied as the people in it. And if it is political there are probably three times more reasons to get involved than there are participants.

The issue is whether the BP has sufficient resources to process all the people they are arresting.
The judge is whining because some shitbag illegal has had to wait 8 days now on his bond hearing.
Except ... bond isn't required in immigration.
AFAIK, that's made-up "judge" law.
And the judge is whining that somehow it's the BP fault there as so many habeas petitions.
But, didn't we just have a ruling that illegals cannot appeal their final order of removal via habeas?
Oh right: Cartel judges are the law.

Pretti, was left with a broken rib after being tackled by a group of officers during a protest against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, according to a CNN source*.
The alleged assault occurred after Pretti stopped his car after seeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers chasing a family on foot.
Pretti allegedly began shouting and blowing a whistle, and was then tackled to the ground by five agents. The source claimed one officer leaned on his back, causing his ribs to break.
The ICU nurse, who allegedly 'thought he was going to die', was reportedly released at the scene - but allegedly remained on federal agents' radar.
* Since this isn't being reported by CNN Senior Correspondent Brian Stelter, we don't know if it's reliable.

Both the named administrations - obviously - facilitated massive increases in illegal alien presence. The Obama "deportations" were mostly close to the border and after immediate apprehension, which don't require almost any process whatsoever.
Obviously the country has been dumbed down beyond recognition in recent decades. But the pathetic teenage bleatings about "hypocrisy!" such as the one cited by ace still amaze.
Oh - and the anti-ICE actions pre-dated MN and happened/are happening elsewhere. It's not - obviously - about "distraction". It has its own objectives.

Basically the "peaceful protesters" and "journalists" are deployed specifically to obfuscate and protect the violent actors, who are the actual actors. They use several levels of violence and have operatives on each side of the law to aid in it. Like other terrorists they use advanced communciation.

MN avoided losing a House seat and an EV by 500 people in 2020.
A seat and EV that would have went to ID.
MN is the left's last stand.
Because, if they lose there, they will never rally the public anywhere else.
I am eagerly awaiting the illegal order from the cartel judge who heard the completely ridiculous MN "the federal government can't enforce federal immigration law in MN because the real reason the federal government is enforcing immigration law is they want to enforce election integrity laws!!"

“What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized.
The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It’s time to show the world. More importantly, it’s time to show ourselves.”

Lots of 9-yr old girl emotional whining about "optics" and ickiness - when deluded idiots get themselves killed interfering with kinetic police operations. Check out the governor of OK ("reddest" state in the union) - he even, amazingly, talks about "immigration reform" in his stupid TV comments.

The answer is that it's ... everything. Yes, for sure the census (and its resulting redistricting) is important, and part of the reason they riot. So is money. So is fraud. So is trying to force violent social change. So is the fact that the street thugs are outcast losers with nothing better to do with their time.

If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.

That's what I've been saying for months.
A 2030 census under Vance not only locks them out of the Presidency for decades ....
- they'll never have a majority on the Supreme Court in any of our lifetimes
- they'll be locked out of winning the House for decades as well
When you add in election integrity pushed by Trump then Vance, backed up by the SCOTUS, we will also see several more states flip solid red up and down the ballot.
The Democrat Party will be a discontinuous, hyper-localized party entirely confined to a few large cities.

They, actually, have a "legitimate" GDP of $14 Billion. However, the richest man in Somalia (and his family) own Dahabshiil Money Transfer. Mohamed Said Duale is founder, chairman, and owner. He's a billionaire many times over. You'd have to assume that Somalia's biggest import and export is actual currency, not commodities. How much of this is legitmate and not a laundering operation is suspect.
Minnesota has three full branches of Dahabshiil Money Transfer right square in the middle of Minneapolis. In fact, you will find a branch or more where ever Somalis settle in bulk in the US. Makes you scratch your head. Someone is orchestrating the entire process. And, there is TSA footage of couriers transporting suitcases filled with cash by airline.

SCOTUS would never get involved in that level of infighting. They jumped the gun in going to the 8th circuit. They made a mistake right at the start by not finding a friendly judge they could take the original warrant to. And if there wasn't one they had, then that's an even bigger problem.

Nothing wrong with anger if channeled properly. But I'm genuinley curious why it's become a reflex to blame Bondi for everything. She's the AG, she doesn't bring cases to courts and everyone knows we are in a period of unprecedented judical activism brought by leftists posing as activists. Jesus couldn't get these leftwing activists to follow the law.
What is the solution other than to keep pushing to get stuff done through the only channels that exist? It's slow and tedious but the Trump DOJ usually wins in the end.
Posted by: JackStraw at January 27, 2026 02:25 PM (viF8m)
They chose badly.
Politics is another matter. What’s driving this is a desire to beat back four years of invasion by the Democrats. It’s furthermore driven by a CiNC who wants to fulfill those promises. Remember that when next cycle the subversives start pretending to be conservatives and saying Republicans didn’t deliver on mass deportations.
The communists will see this change in strategy as an affirmation their tactics are working. Expect to see them repeat these operations in places like NY. It’s already starting.
We have a giant shitpuddle ahead of us, and you’re about to find out who has the shoes to get through it.

I don't know how much of this reporting is correct. Wasn't it a magistrate judge that denied the warrant? If so, wouldn't the "appeal" go to a real Article III judge? I'm not a criminal lawyer, so I can't say for sure how this works, but I've never in my career got an order from a magistrate judge and then went straight to the circuit appeals court.

Some of it is deliberate and part of the OPFOR strategy to divide the electorate. The other part is ignorance. I say ignorance because these are the same people who would bitch like a tween girl when the case later fell apart because the prosecutors moved to fast without proper foundation. The people funding and organizing this aren’t stupid. They know exactly what they’re doing and have hidden behind a complex legal strategy designed to promote this as legitimate, constitutionally protected activities. In that regard, they’ve left themselves enough cover that when things go kinetic they have plausible deniability.

Thing is, Scandinavians in Europe aren't all 'tarded. My theory is this: for some reason, the original ones who settled MN were lower-than-average. Maybe it was lead in the water, whatever.

I understand that all federal judges are just honest Joes, doing their job for the betterment of America. So the magistrate who refused the warrant only did so because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up, and then, in the appeal, they ruled that Lemon had broken the law but THEY wouldn't issue a warrant because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up.
And we know that Pam Fucking Bondi hasn't taken the matter to a grand jury because our Ouija board told us... but how, exactly did Pam Bondi fuck this up? Please explain, Law Master.

Regarding the "peaceful protesters" is not what I see. Today I saw a video of a nitwit who grabbed a flash bang grenade, I guess to throw it back. Insted her fingers are burnt and shredded, what is left of them.
She? then ran towards the officers for some reason, whipped her hat off and screaming. What did she think would happen? A nerf grenade? Why? They are all idiots.
I have another issue: the F word used every other word. Like it is going to wound ICE officers. I am not offended but I think it is also lame in that it is used so often people are immune.
Same with the brave "soldiers of peace" putting their gloved middle finger in officer's faces.

1. Find the video of Ashli Babbitt being shot on J6.
2. Do a slow-motion frame by frame viewing of it and to detect where any lethal force of climbing through a window unarmed almost killed Officer Byrd.
Outside of Joe Scarborough's lame "She was in the army, where they train like commandos, with registered lethal hands and stuff!".
I'll ask her if she saw a concealed toe blade deployed.
As much as I don't like to get political on my X stream, the contrast is too stark to care. It's not going to be a matter of "who deserves being dead", but just to point out that a not-too-well trained Officer Byrd was reprimanded for leaving his gun in a bathroom once.
And did far more what looks like an execution than what happened to Pretti (until he was down).
I've already anticipated "She shouldn't have been there."
You know, as if we can't say Pretti should not have been closing in on ICE agents, when he had been told to stay back. Both were approaching officers, and we can't even talk about when Babbitt was disarmed or what she was carrying where and whether she was in compliance.

Whig would be a better source for this question but I would think they'd try for somewhere not in downtown Minneapolis if possible. I worked for a company based in Minnesotat a few years ago and like most states when you outside the blue metro areas controlled by Democrats you see much more normal and reasonable people.
Last night the cops were actually assisting and aiding ICE in Minnesota. The part that isn't Minneapolis.
But in any case the enemy is on the other side not our side. We are seeing leftist activist judges across the country make outrageous ruling and overstepping their authority routinely. They are no different that woke Democrats in Congress. That's the enemy.

All SCOTUS can do is overturn the fraudulent lower court rulings one at a time. And that only after a significant amount of time and effort.
The lower courts constantly refuse to apply SCOTUS rulings to future cases. They absolutely can do that. They have done that. They will continue to do that until such time as the real boss of the lower courts fires a bunch of them for cause.
There is every reason to expect that Congress will continue to never do so.
Perhaps the President can arrest and prosecute a bunch of them for sedition or conspiracy.

Did they? I have long questioned how real any of the deportations were under Democrap presidents, and especially under Obama. I very strongly suspect it was all an op to con the rubes. In fact, I would bet money on it.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 27, 2026 01:47 PM (iFTx/)
*******
As I understand / remember it, back when Obama was president, he needed/wanted to beat back Republican accusations that he was soft on illegal immigration. (Hint...he was soft on illegal immigration.)
So what he did, to tbeef up his reputation, was to re-classify border apprehensions. In the past, if you got stopped at the border, and sent back to Mexico, that didn't count as a deportation. Only if you made it to the interior, and then got picked up and sent back to Mexico, would that count as a deportation.
So, he just reclassified those who got picked up at the border and sent back to Mexico as deportations. And Viola! Obama was able to portray himself as a law and order guy to beat back negative Republican portrayals of him.
Ironically, it worked so well.. (cont,)

Shut up and listen. You will round up all the illegal felons on the list and hold them for ICE.
You will do this because of the felony murder rule applies to your conspiracy against the United States.
You will do this, because of what else is coming.
You will do this because I have the power to pardon you.
And the first step to that pardon is to do this now.

I saw video of a very professional encounter between ICE and neighbors. The Karens in the crowd were all huffy "I'm going to record this on my PHONE!". The officer that seemed to be in charge was pleasant and said "Recording is not a problem,". And then, pointing several cars along the street back, he said, "But I'm going to need you to stay behind that white car. Videotaping is not a problem, but you have to clear the area."
So, I compare that to the observation that Pretti was told at least once that he was too close, and needed to put some distance. So, it kinda sounds like a case where standing too close to ICE officers after they have told you to step back is tantamount to obstruction.
Not a lawyer so I don't know these things.
But once Pretti's obstructing, putting their hands on him for "just videotaping with his First Amendment Rights" is reasonable.
Posted by: Axeman at January 27, 2026 02:55 PM (krQz2)
The Biden administration didn't just let millions of illegals into the country, they purposefly flew them all over the country to create the scenario we are seeing play out now. It's a hell of a lot harder to deport them from the interior, particulalry whem they are sent to sanctuary cities and states with activist judges.
That was all part of the plan. They only way they win is if we buckle.

When I was a new grad, a friend and classmate (who is one of the biggest liberals I now know) wanted to unionize. She came to me for a vote & I told her I could not, if assigned that day, not work & abandon patients. She was not pleased & I did not care.
It came to a 3 way vote:
Vote for her little union
Vote for ACLU (I was horrified)
NO's won
She was maybe a "real nurse" as a charge RN like me for six months. After this tango, the nursing administration put her as VP or something of nursing (I can't remember). Sort of a bribe to shut her up. She went on for her MS in nursing and to bigger things.
She was very smart, or at least very well spoken. She's gone "far" in her career while I just worked jobs that I liked (always part time) and raised our chimps to be good men. I had fun and was never career focused, altho jobs were created for me as I was smart, dedicated, and can talk to anyone. I can even be charming if needed, which I know is a shock!
I think this person may still be working as I don't know. When I could read her twitter stuff it was obvious she was a radical Dim loon. I could see her protesting.

Internet Claims: Chinese PM Xi Plotted Purge of Chinese Military, So the Military Plotted a Coup and Kidnapping. But Then Xi Launched a Counter-Coup.
Allegedly.
The claims of an actual coup attempt, with senior military leaders plotting to kidnap Xi, is an internet-based claim without any legacy media confirmation. So far. Here's the BBC:The senior ranks of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) are in tatters. The weekend purging of China's top general, Zhang Youxia, and another senior military officer, Gen Liu Zhenli, has left serious questions about what triggered the elite power struggles unfolding in the country - and what this means for China's warfighting capacity, whether it be any ambition to take Taiwan by force or engage in another major regional conflict. Zhang, 75, was vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) - the Communist Party group headed by the country's leader Xi Jinping, which controls the armed forces. The CMC, usually made up of around seven people, has now been whittled down to just two members - Xi and Gen Zhang Shengmin. All others have been taken down in the "anti-corruption" crackdown following previous waves of detention. The CMC is responsible for controlling millions of military personnel. It is so powerful that when Deng Xiaoping was the paramount leader of the country during the 1980s, this was the only position he held for most of that time. That only Xi and one CMC general remain is unprecedented, according to Lyle Morris from the Asia Society Policy Institute. "The PLA is in disarray," he told the BBC, adding that China's military now had "a major leadership void". Asked what was really driving the culling of so many top generals, he said: "There are a lot of rumours floating around. We don't know, at this point, what is true and what is false... but it is certainly bad for Xi Jinping, for his leadership and control over the PLA." Associate Professor Chong Ja Ian from the National University of Singapore also said he was not sure what the real reason was for Zhang's downfall but that there was a lot of speculation about it. "Everything from leaking nuclear secrets to the United States to plotting a coup and factional infighting. There are even rumours of a gunfight in Beijing," he said. "But Zhang and Liu's downfall along with the wild speculation highlight two things: that Xi remains unassailable and there are significant limits to information in Beijing which fuels uncertainty and feeds this speculation." The official announcement that said Zhang and Liu were "under investigation" also said that they were accused of "serious violations of discipline and law", which is a euphemism for corruption. ... The targeting of the generals may be about corruption, but it may also be about power politics, given how these purges have panned out in the past. ... Xi may have stamped his authority, yet again, but the upheaval means ongoing frictions, he said. "It's certainly a bad look for Xi and I think there's going to be significant turmoil in the PLA, with Xi and his leaders -- especially in the PLA -- for years to come." The purging of the most senior generals also brings scrutiny on the next layer of officers who may be wondering who is next?Twitter accounts claim -- again, without confirmation by the fake media -- that the military leaders Xi was about to arrest for corruption decided to strike first and kidnap Xi, but Xi got wind of this and arrested them first.
Cryptoanarhist
@manaxer2 A coup d'etat is being prepared in China. What happened? I explain: -- The largest purge of China's military leadership in half a century has recently begun. Generals are being prosecuted on charges of corruption and state crimes. -- Even General Zhang Youxia, who was considered Xi's right-hand man, was accused of treason for spying on the United States. -- Unconfirmed information is also circulating online about the suppression of an attempted military coup and an assassination attempt on Xi Jinping himself. -- There is an active movement of military convoys in the direction of Beijing, now they are located 40 kilometers from the center of Beijing. -- Local media reports that some of the equipment has already reached Beijing, and armed men have taken control of the historic Forbidden City -- Along with this, there are reports that the existing PLA system has been stopped and replaced by the direct command of the Central Military Council using encrypted telegrams. -- All units throughout the army have moved to the first level of combat readiness. In addition, against the background of the events, Taiwan said it was closely monitoring "abnormal" changes in China's military leadership and urged Japanese fishermen to refrain from visiting islands disputed with China. What do you think, will there be changes in our political system?
One busy night in Beijing...

The parallels to the dying days of the USSR are eerie. Many, if not most of these guys are "princelings", i.e. descendants of the original CCP guys. Xi is 72, and this guy is 75. Admittedly, Trump is older at 79, but he's that rare specimen who can clearly still keep up the pace. Zhang looks like he should be playing mahjong somewhere.

Maybe. Or maybe there's intense dissatisfaction because enough other members of the Politburo understand that what they're doing now isn't working, and they're tired of having everything decided by Xi, who is completely isolated because nobody wants to bring him bad news. There are probably quite a few who wanted to continue the liberalization that was happening before Xi, if for no other reason than to save their own skins before the people revolt.

Just read pretty much any account of Stalin. It is one long thing of him suspecting first this guy, then that, then the guy who accused the first guy gets axed (literally.) These guys are often talented, but paranoid (to be able to rise within the system) and then the power does NOT make them feel more secure. It just gives them the ability to strike first.

Her words: "Something is brewing. Something big."
Oh, and she's convinced that COVID was not an accident. She, and a lot of people she knows in China, strongly believe it was a miscalulated effort to test what they thought was a controllable virus which would cull the non-producing (Elderly, infirm) while merely grazing the more healthy (producers). It was paired up with the draconian personal credit policies China put into place around the same time as the virus breakout. All to accomodate the dire situation created by the past one child rule.

So you're saying if they refused the fake coup they were rewarded but the people who went along with the fake coup were punished. But the fake coup people who went along with the fake coup were also rewarded but only because it was fake and they knew. And if you tried to fake the coup with the fakers but you were not a pre authorized faker, you would be punished, but if you were with the real fakers or one of the original real fakers, then you were rewarded. But only if you pretended to go along.
Got it.

In an authoritarian system the dictator has to rely on the people below him because he can't do everything himself. Generally he does this by formally or informally making them rich. Then those henchmen have to do with the people under them and so on.
It is a tough system to maintain because it is always in a henchman's benefit to remove the man above him if he can, which then leads to the need for constant terror and a cult of personality as you see in socialist systems.

Roehm was a homosexual, as were a lot of the SA, and later the SS. Hitler feared Roehm wanted to replace him as leading the NASDP. In the world of those kind of people, violent , harsh homosexuality was viewed as being the ultimate in manliness, and heterosexuality was viewed as weakness. A total moral inversion....and you wonder why today, in the 21st century, birth rates in Europe have fallen through the floor, way below replacement rate.
But Xi Jinping is probably very wary now of who he can trust and who he can't. I don't foresee any "invasion" of Taiwan just this moment. I think all along this was a Sun Tzu gambit, to put so much pressure on Taiwan that they would voluntarily submit. I think that is still the plan.

In an authoritarian system the dictator has to rely on the people below him because he can't do everything himself. Generally he does this by formally or informally making them rich. Then those henchmen have to do with the people under them and so on.
It is a tough system to maintain because it is always in a henchman's benefit to remove the man above him if he can, which then leads to the need for constant terror and a cult of personality as you see in socialist systems. And you have to produce enough goods to keep your henchmen and the chain on down fat and happy.

Very curious if DOJ has a legal basis to go after systematic activity that supports interference with/harassment of LE.
Saw one speculative analysis a few days ago, there were the usual roundabout kinds of violations. But nothing specifically about what we're seeing in terms of organized planning and action up to the point of actual interference.

It’s more specific than that, if memory serves, they claimed this just a month or two prior to the collapse.
Both the Soviet Union and Mao’s Communists received crucial support through the US State Department, the FDR administration first formally recognized the Soviets, among a great many other things. Chaing was slow rolled on supplies and arms and left hanging.
Sen. McCarthy was correct about the communist subversion in the State Department, it resulted in communist gains in Yugoslavia as well. They had their thumb on the scale in a great many countries.

Lenin didn't shoot other Bolsheviks. I guess he at least had that going for him.
Posted by: Biff Pocoroba
Oh, sure he did, in the basement of the Big Lubyanka. "Iron Feliks" oversaw that. He wanted to eliminate anyone who might think about being a counter-revolutionary to his rule. Lenin's number of killed was nowhere close to Stalin's, just because he died (and Stalin probably was a party to him being poisoned).
Posted by: Pepperidge Farms remembers at January 27, 2026 01:07 PM (vcOmj)
Also, remember that Lenin was still dealing with the aftermath of the Civil War when he stroked out. He was still hunting down White Russians and simply hadn't gotten around to internal party purges yet.
One of the big mistakes the Spanish commies made during their civil war is that they spent more effort slaughtering their own fellow travelers than they did fighting Franco.

I'm not sure what this means. Are you saying the average Chinese person is less compliant now to the government than they were in the past? I'm also not sure what the without questions parenthetical means. Are you saying they are less compliant, but that it's not necessarily due to questioning leadership, but something else like motivation?

If you had an Asian vacation scheduled, consider putting it off until things settle down.
China's demographics, particularly with regard to excess males, leaves a limited window of opportunity for military adventurism, e.g. in Taiwan; IIRC, if they don't do it by 2050 at the outside, it won't get done. Chicoms are evil, not stupid, so they are presumably aware of what even strangers can see in their own society; as such, any major leadership changes in the military could be a signal for an increase or decrease in the imminence of action, and it's hard to say which as they are genuinely inscrutable.

I know the above a joke, but the way Haig got treated of his statement has bugged me since 1981, and is one of my top peeves.
"I'm in charge, here, now" wasn't Haig trying to be president in violation of the order of succession. It was him saying to the USSR that there is someone in charge answering the phones who *will* retaliate if the USSR tries anything in the chaos. (Chaos like the vice president being over the Pacific on Air Force Two at the time)

The Morning Rant: Hickory Shampoos For The Win!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Notice that interesting word? "Peaceably!" Physical interference with the legal activity of government or, for that matter, regular people, crosses the line, and is not protected by the United States Constitution. Our founders would have recoiled in horror had it been suggested to them that violence is a legitimate expression of discontent with an elected government. Any comparison to our revolution is specious and ahistoric. The British ruled us from afar, without any provision for representation or redress. That's the difference, and it is profound. Violent protest should be met with immediate and overwhelming force. Tear gas, bean-bag rounds, batons, water cannon, bayonet lines...whatever it takes to disperse and render ineffective the attempted violent overthrow of our government and the legal structure of our republic! Because that's what it is...insurrection, revolt revolution, civil war...call it whatever you wish, but it is the theft of our collective freedoms in service to a minority's belief in their own political philosophy. Demonstrate, write your newspaper, vote, call your representatives, go door to door explaining your political philosophy. That's all marvelous, even if most people will disagree. But the second violence is used, it loses the protections of our Constitution and becomes law breaking thuggery, and I and many Americans firmly support instant and aggressive action to end it! Hickory shampoos for the win! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

Neville Roy Singham, an American born billionaire living in Singapore and aligned with the ChiComs has been fingered more than once as being a principle funder for the Minnesota riots. His name keeps cropping up when people look into the money trail from the principles involved in Minneapolis back to the NGO's and then from the NGO's to the financiers.

Although, I do find it darkly funny that, when the Shays Rebellion began in Massachusetts, Abigail Adams was at the forefront of calling for Shays and his men to be executed for resisting the established government.

Remember...the riots of BLM in 2020 worked so well that six states had to shut down ballot counting in them middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall (300,000 phantom votes in GA alone) to barely get Trump out of office.

Online sleuths do, but then. . . no prosecutions. Not when our FBI and DoJ are staffed with like-minded radicals, who are more likely to be coordinating with them than arresting them.
Honestly, if the DoJ doesn't take action against both the funders and the activist leaders in MN, including the state senators and Walz staffers, then they WILL do this in every major city, and they WILL win in 2028.

In Catholic theology, original sin is the innate condition to sinfulness of all mankind, as a consequence of Adam and Eve disobeying God. It is the justification for infant baptism, to wipe away the sin.
In Democrat theology, original sin is the innate condition of racism of all whites, as a consequence for employing the Peculiar Institution in the founding and expansion of America. It is permanent and cannot be wiped away.

@TonySeruga
Employees at U.S. Bancorp in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are being investigated for assisting Somali and Venezuelan criminal enterprises to steal millions from banking ATMs across the nation, using malware named Ploutus, one of the most advanced and profitable families of ATM malware ever discovered, notable for its modular architecture, deep hardware interaction, and the level of insider cooperation often required for successful deployment.
Each compromised ATM can yield $20k-$200k per operation, meaning a small 10-person ring can empty millions of dollars' worth of cash overnight.
And because many ATMs still run Windows 7 Embedded or XP, updating is nontrivial - banks depend on vendor-proprietary runtimes. That systemic rot is the real story here; Ploutus just revealed how fragile the entire ATM infrastructure remains.
Banks underreport jackpotting for fear of losing public confidence.

On the one hand, yes retribution should be taken against the organizers, as a matter of public order and respect for legal authority.
But no, this won’t happen in many other cities. Minneapolis is the dying husk of a once great city that never recovered from George Floyd and the Covid catastrophes, and now it is completely controlled by the grifters their flying monkey armies. It’s quietly become their HQ; that’s why they’re fighting so hard.
And sadly, no matter what happens, Minneapolis will never truly recover from this. It’s well on its way to becoming another Detroit, or Baltimore. Just a rotting shell of something that once was beautiful.

Not a fan. Also not a fan of Florida's "halo" law, which we've already seen get abused by cops walking more than 25 feet away from their scene, getting right in the face of someone silently filming and telling them to move back or they'll be arrested, then continue to stay right on top of them telling them to move back as they move back. These are laws primed for abuse and probably unconstitutional on their face, and probably as applied. Don't know if there have been such challenges made or not.

The newfound Epstein obsession is a classic NPC upgrade. Swap out BLM with J6, the J6 with Ukraine, then Ukraine with Epstein, then Epstein with ICE.
The propaganda/brainwashing is so dang effective it's frightening. I would be amazed if these same new Epstein obsessives were also mocking many on the right who were saying "Epstein didn't kill himself!"

IIRC, he said he'd focus on getting the violent ones out *first*. He ran on deportations of all illegals.
It is the sanctuary cities/states that cause the collection of longtime residents when they force ICE to go into the immigrant communities to scoop up those not released directly to them by local LEOs.

Yes, Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to carry out the "largest deportation operation in American history"
. As of January 2026, he is actively pursuing this goal through multiple executive and legislative actions during his second term.
Scope of the Promise
Total Targets: Trump has stated he aims to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, with campaign-era estimates ranging from 11 million up to 25 million people.
Prioritization: While the administration claims to prioritize the removal of "the worst of the worst" (violent criminals, gang members, and drug traffickers), officials have stated they will not "walk away" from any person in the country illegally.
It's very easy to say the word "all". He hasn't.

Like RAM, their memories are cleared when they sleep and then reboot to whatever new OS upgrades are present today for their reaction models.
Those on the Right though have long term memories and that often causes a slow burn when the current lefty du jour cause for the hivemind which totally contradicts what they said a day, week, month, or years before.

The left never was about persuading, it is about applying lies so as to get power. Once in power, the long train to widespread death and poverty starts. Like Venezuela.
They are not good people because what they want for society can only be acquired by proactive coercive force by the state against dissenters and political opposition.

The Salmon King: Bear 32's 135,000-Calorie Feast !
In the world of Katmai National Park's "Fat Bear" culture, few sights are as impressive as a dominant male in peak hunting season. In 2024, the bear known as 32 "Chunk" reminded the world why he is a perennial heavyweight contender. Over the course of just 10.5 hours, Chunk was observed pulling a staggering 45 sockeye salmon from the Brooks River.
This isn't just an impressive feat of fishing; it is a biological necessity. As winter approaches, brown bears enter a state called hyperphagia, a period of extreme eating where their biological clock screams at them to pack on as much fat as possible. For Chunk, this 10.5-hour marathon resulted in an estimated intake of 135,000 calories—the equivalent of eating roughly 245 double cheeseburgers in a single day.

Now, this led to a good deal of general frustration, for people are naturally censorious and love nothing better than to criticize others’ shortcomings. And so it was that they seized on hypocrisy and elevated it from a ubiquitous peccadillo into the monarch of all vices. For, you see, even if there is no right and wrong, you can find grounds to criticize another person by contrasting what he has espoused with what he has actually done. In this case, you are not making any judgment whatsoever as to the correctness of his views or the morality of his behavior—you are merely pointing out that he has said one thing and done another. Virtually all political discourse in the days of my youth was devoted to the ferreting out of hypocrisy."

It isn't some sort of mistake, or symptom, these people know exactly what they are doing even if they have a bunch of differing motivations. This has been the fundamental problem with non lefties as long as the term "leftist" has been a thing: they keep refusing to comprehend the magnitude of the threat and be honest about what is actually happening.

I don't know (within my remaining lifetime) if it's possible to have reasonable debate and/or equality w/i the nation.
AI Overview: The Left criticized the Tea Party (approx. 2009–2014) as a top-down, corporate-funded movement that used inflammatory, anti-government rhetoric. Liberals viewed the movement as an existential threat to New Deal social programs, often describing it as an extremist, obstructionist force driven by racism and cultural anxiety.
Key reasons for the intense opposition included:
>Opposition to Progressive Policies: dismantle government regulations, cut Medicare, and repeal health care subsidies
>Racism and Extremism Allegations: Critics pointed to the presence of racist signs, anti-immigrant sentiment, and conspiratorial "birther" claims regarding President Obama.
>"Corporate AstroTurf" Accusations - Koch Brothers, dark $ etc.
>Ideological Obstructionism: political gridlock and crises, such as the debt-ceiling debates.
>Cultural Divide: white and older, reacting against a diversifying nation
It was the perfect opening because the Left made it so. What has changed? Only that the 'intense dislike' of the TP has spread.

I agree 100%. There is no way you can reason with people who want to kill 50 million+ people because they have different values than you do. At this point physical force is the only tool left to make them stop.

The left cannot be reasoned with, and has and will continue to use violence to support their side. If we attempt to meet their violence with like force, we are prosecuted to the full extent of the law (and then some), while their violent actors are excused.
It's a game we cannot win.

An unpleasant element of reality is that even if you assume everyone can be persuaded, there comes a point where you are risking or sacrificing your own people in the attempt to do so.
Just because someone is mistaken or misunderstands you doesn't make your family any less dead or enslaved if you fail to stop them. The world doesn't let you call a time out to hash out the details.

Trump Isn’t the Only One Changing Course in Minnesota
Last night brought something that unfortunately seems astonishing in the current moment, namely, local and state police arrested anti-ICE demonstrators once they had broken the law:
Police in Minnesota began arresting anti-ICE agitators outside a hotel Monday after authorities said the demonstration escalated and was “no longer considered peaceful,” prompting officers to declare an unlawful assembly.

The enemies of the US Constitution and the American Republic have too thoroughly infiltrated all areas of society for the normal mechanism of self-government to continue to function properly. It's now purely instinctual for the left to destroy our country. And there's too many of them to shame their collective lunacy from playing out in the streets.
The only real question is: "Okay, what's next? How do freedom loving citizens safely communicate and organize to be ready for what appears to inevitable and ugly societal disintegration?"

Spot on, but... I've gone dark, we're old friends. There is a danger. A corruption that becomes addictive. You start out executing domestic terrorists and end up exterminating an entire family because they refused to show ID at your checkpoint.
I'm not saying we can't go there - I think giving the marxists infinite respawns while they playtest how to enslave us is madness - but we have to be vigilant against becoming their mirror image.
Americans also have this bias that we're going to save the innocent and kill the wicked. I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you different, but that's not how it's going to play out. Mistakes will be made, devil deals will be brokered, sacrifices may be the only option.

180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne
While the history of art remained an important touchstone and source of inspiration for John Brack throughout his career, The bar is one of few examples of his work in which there is a direct connection to an artistic precedent. Here he restates the subject of Édouard Manet’s famous painting A bar at the Folies-Bergère, 1882, in a very contemporary guise, replacing the opulence of 1880s Paris with the dour austerity of 1950s Melbourne. Under the watchful eyes of the stern barmaid, a band of near-identical workers urgently drink their fill before the six o’clock closing that was enforced in Melbourne pubs until 1966.

The Cafe Lafitte in Exile, a block from the more famous Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, was right by my grammar school. One rainy Saturday my mother and I took shelter for a moment inside the in Exile . . . and sitting at the bar, talking with another man, was my school principal. He was married with a son in my class. I was embarrassed, as you are at age nine, to see your teachers or principals outside of school, but otherwise thought nothing of it.
Years later Mom told me, "It was a gay bar even back then. . . . "

Not so, miss.
*sings*
Some people say that life is a game, well if this is so
I'd like to know the rules on which this game of life is based.
I know of no game more fitting than the age old game of cricket
It has honour, it has character and it's British.
Now God laid down the rules of life when he wrote those Ten Commandments
And to cricket those ten same rules shall apply.
Show compassion and self-righteousness and be honest above all
And come to God's call with bat and ball.
Now the Devil has a player and he's called the Demon Bowler,
He's shrewd, he's rude and he's wicked.
He is sent by Sinful Satan and he's out to take your wicket
And you know that that's not cricket.
He'll baffle you with googlies with leg breaks and offspin
But keep a level head and don't let that demon in.
So keep a straight bat at all times, let the Bible be your guide
And you'll get by, yes you'll get by.

____________
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --
Ten to make and the match to win --
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'
The sand of the desert is sodden red, --
Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --
The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'

That was an interesting observation, one thing I deduced from close reading of history (and photography) is every town of any size had a brewery and offered a local brew. Most had a Coffee importer and roaster, too.
Prohibition, and wartime expedients and post war consolidations - (canned food, instant this, powdered that) pretty much ruined those products for a hundred years. Hipsters like to think they invented beer, or the Starbucks folks that Americans have always drank watered down crap robusta bean coffee. Not so. All it does is seem to show that government jiggery-pokery can cause distortions for a very very long time.

It’s actually a fairly simple game once you understand the basic rules. Difference is there are a lot more versions of the same thing in cricket. Thats where it gets messy. Even suddenly lengths and types of games. Imagine baseball but sometimes it’s 9 innings sometimes it’s 10 sometimes it’s 20. That’s what makes it kind of insane to someone checking it out for the first time.

In it the author blames Paradox Interactive and their video game Crusader Kings for spreading false narratives.
Crusader Kings is a game where you play a medieval ruler and while there isn't a specific goal, most people emulate real world goals of expanding the realm you rule and the influence of your family in the world
So what false notions does the game portray? Well that Europe was full of whitepypo and not a multiracial paradise, and that Christians and Muslims fought wars for control of Europe. "False"

Obligatory -
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

They're games Steam keeps suggesting to me. But I don't wanna pay full price.
Someday. I gotta find a way to get Warhammer Total War to work for me first. Plus...I got Three Kingdoms Total War free from GOG over Christmas. None of the DLC, but the core game, at least. Should be fun. So much to play...
Mostly, I've been working through DOOM, though. Finally beat DOOM II for real for the first time. Icon of Sin is so much harder without IDDQD.

During a preflight test on January 27, 1967, for what was to be the first crewed Apollo mission, a fire claimed the lives of three U.S. astronauts; Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. After the disaster, the mission, which has previously been referred to as Apollo-Saturn 204 (AS-204), was officially designated Apollo 1, which was name for the mission the crew had intended to use.

My mother showed that movie to me as a kid. I lost all memory of what it was and who was in it, but I remembered two sequences for years.
The cup scene at the end, and Kaye speaking into a woman's hand because he's deaf (or the other way around). But I had no idea where it was from, and I'd ocassionally consider asking my mother what they were from, knowing she had shown me the movie it came from.
Then, I just randomly decided to watch the movie on Prime one day, and all my questions were answered.
Fun movie.

Cecil John Brack
Ha, ha, ha!
Wikipedia. In part, The Bar is a 1954 painting by Australian artist John Brack. The subject of the painting directly references Édouard Manet's 1882 work A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.[1] It depicts a barmaid working in an Australian pub at the time of the "six o'clock swill". As in Manet's work, the patrons of the bar are shown in a reflection behind the barmaid. The work is considered a companion piece to Brack's 1955 work Collins St., 5 pm.[2]
A Melbourne art collector acquired The Bar for 90 guineas in 1954.[1] In 2006, the painting sold for $3.12m, a then record price for an Australian artwork at auction.[1] The anonymous buyer was later revealed to be David Walsh, owner of the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart. He sold the painting to the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) for the same price in 2009.[2]"
---
I also saw & read about the companion piece, Collins St., (1955) so this thread has proved another interesting lesson in art. However, I'd pass hanging both.

It plays out differently based on which game you are playing - TW1 happens last in the timeline and therefore you have less time to deal with the Vamps before Chaos shows up.
One core suggestion though - don't annex the smaller Imperial factions if you can't defend their holdings as it is better to leave them as allies/vassals then. Also play nice with Bretonnia, the Dwarves AND the Wood Elves you need trade with the first two and at least peace with the latter.

That kind of accident happens with old oil tanks, more often than people realize. With those it’s usually some trapped hydrogen sulfide that no one realizes is there. (Heavier than air, so it gets stuck in containers that only have a top opening). Saddest thing is that those accidents are often two deaths instead of one - a guy sees his buddy go in, collapse, and he rushes in to save him and collapses as well.

Kind of an odd argument. I mean, if you ARE doing illegal activity, I suppose you have to not trust anybody, including any pooter software you use.
But if you're not doing illegal activity? It gives you some anonymity from all the predators you encounter online.

There is not much 'lore' to Half-Life, sonny. I played it back when the first game came out, new. Half-Life just seemed like it had more story because it had anything compared to Unreal or Quake.

Counterpoint: Apollo capsule fire. NASA knew that any flame in a pure oxygen atmosphere could be deadly yet they tolerated shoddy quality in the wiring and flammability of capsule components. They also made it difficult to egress based on the perceived problem of Liberty 7 where Gus Grissom's capsule ended up at the bottom of the ocean.
The Union Carbide Bhopal plant disaster, derailments of trains carrying hazardous chemicals like Palestine OH, etc. A lot of underground mining deaths, etc.
Often it is some corporate tradeoff between speed, cost, and employee lives which results in disaster.

Passed out on deck at the bottom of the ladder.
First person on-scene passed out as well.
Next ones wore SCBA's to perform rescue.
The vendor had packed dry ice in the styrofoam containers that Asians are famous for putting every kind of food in for shipment and delivery.
So it displaced the oxygen in the reefer units.
Nobody could figure it out until I asked if there were rumpled clumps of newspaper in the shipping boxes. That's what the vendors wrap the dry ice in.

Before a lot of websites required encrypted traffic back and forth under the https std, VPNs were necessary if you wanted to protect financial transactions, etc.
VPNs morphed into location hiders easy to use and gave corporate IT managers cover for requiring those to be used for security purposes. To be fair, SSH and other secure entries into corporate networks are not very friendly.
Still useful somewhat but for location hiding, you can always IP spoof and use something like Tor's onion browser. But that stands out like a sore thumb to ISPs on DNS searches from self owned equipment and governments unless you plan on using crowded internet cafes and public wifi on short sessions.
You also need to prevent hardware fingerprinting and various other lockdown procedures before doing it or you can still be identified.

Lots of vacancies in knowledge depending on subject. But, I grew up literally with computers and was playing Adventure on mainframes when I was a kid at the local university. Did some coding in the early 80's including formal classes and into the 90's with databases and statistics.

The Morning Report — 1/27/26
Sunrise Movement is bankrolled by some of the country's most prominent nonprofit organizations, including Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. The Minneapolis hotel smashed up overnight by anti-ICE rioters was on a target list created by the Twin Cities chapter of Sunrise Movement, a radical group funded by some of the country's most prominent nonprofit organizations, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation.Video footage shows dozens of anti-ICE rioters descending on Home2 Suites by Hilton near the University of Minnesota late Sunday night. The group used noisemakers and pounded on trash bins before turning violent—the rioters hurled items at people, smashed windows, destroyed the hotel’s façade, lit fireworks, and graffitied the building. As they attempted to force their way in, those inside were forced to use two vending machines to block the hotel’s entrance.
Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured? What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis?Daniel Greenfield gets totally gets it. May God bless every bullet from every barrel of every ICE agent's weapon. May they find their mark right between the beady eyes of every brain dead zombie programmed by the Democrat Left to destroy us. Here's to the founding of the Tailgunner Joseph McCarthy Defense of the Republic Department. Amen.
. . . The broader consistent principle at stake isn’t federalism: it’s leftism. The entire political and cultural machine that has been mobilized over Minneapolis opportunistically supports wielding federal authority over states and state rejection of federal authority on immigration law only when the end result, whether state or federal, is open borders and mass illegal alien invasions. This is true in all areas. The Left has no legal, let alone constitutional, principles, only goals. . . What this means in the broader sense is that we are not a nation of laws, but of leftists. The Left does not believe in or follow any laws or principles other than its own politics. There is no rule of law (and certainly not of the Constitution) that applies consistently at all times. Laws are just a means to a leftist end. If a law is momentarily suited to that end, it will be upheld and suddenly trumpeted as the great pillar of democracy and all that separates us from the beasts. . . Don’t get the idea that the Left doesn’t believe in anything. It believes in a great many things. But those things don’t include the Constitution, the rule of the people, any laws that they don’t make and any limitations on their power to fundamentally transform America and the world. Everything else is transactional and disposable. . . America will either have the rule of law or the rule of leftists. That’s what this is about.
Have a great day. On a personal note, today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and my thoughts turn to my mother of blessed memory who somehow survived Mauthausen, the labor brigades and a death march before finally making it to America to become an American and indeed a truly great one! God bless the Angels who the Lord sent in the form of the GIs from the 11th Armored Division who liberated her and her family. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- An antisemitic act that is a strong predictor of future danger in a community is cemetery desecration. In Manchester, for example, attackers defaced 100 graves in 2005 at a Jewish cemetery in the heart of the city’s Orthodox community. In a report on another attack on a Jewish cemetery in London a week later, The Guardian said it was the 117th attack on a Jewish cemetery in 15 years. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the last. In 2014, vandals attacked another Jewish cemetery in Manchester, covering it with anti-Semitic graffiti and swastikas. In 2016, attackers smashed 14 headstones at the same cemetery. Against the backdrop of such attacks on Jewish cemeteries, Jewish groups are condemning the attack on the Jewish section of Les Corts graveyard in Barcelona this past weekend. Over 20 graves were desecrated.

The situation degrades and violence ensues.
Call in the Border Patrol Service. The proverbial mounted calvary. Ride in, break some things, kill a few leftists. Be the stick. BPS took zero shit from the public, the "protesters" and certainly nothing from the paid agitators. They roughed up people.
Local politicos, especially one governor who's a weirdo, gets a sternly worded memo about FAFO. A couple days later the BPS is pulled from Minneapolis and the governor would like to talk to Trump about "turning down the heat."
Walz is done. He's either going to turn over Frey, the Lt. Governor and other, state/local politicians who've been involved in the insurrection or he's going down with them. Trump gave him an off-ramp yesterday to save his own skin.

Leftists don't want discussion and reasoned debate. They want force. They don't care about rules.

If we don't and keep arguing about which Trump appointee failed us because only we are playing by the rules we will lose our country. That simple.

Not directly on topic, but does anyone know if Hello Dolly was the apotheosis of the Musical genre or a deliberate joke? It’s so wildly overdone that I can see it being either.
My opinion, FWIW, is that My Fair Lady is the perfect musical, but as far as Dolly is concerned, it has to be remembered that it's a Jerry Herman musical, and he had a weakness for big, brassy women who got big, brassy themes, such as Mame, Dear World or (the sexes being reversed0 La Cage Aux Folles.
I think the reason anyone would consider Dolly[ overdone is that they are only thinking of the title song and Carol Channing, whose Broadway career was almost entirely spent in that show.

Ice has now shown everyone in this city that if they put a hand on you, you are possibly now fighting for your life. Any person that got through law school will get both of these women off. (Phrasing! And they wouldn't want to, from what I've seen of these protesting women)
Our founding fathers gave us the right to bear arms for the preservation of life, liberty, and property against a tyrannical government. I guess bearing teeth works too.
Good for these ladies let's help them with their bills and get them out of jail! Do they have a GoFundMe?

I've always gotten a kick out of Muslims claiming the discovery if this or that . Algebra was being done by the Greeks, the Egyptians, and Babylonians before Islam appeared. A Muslim did produce an influential algebra text in the so called "Golden Age of Islam" from 800 - 1200 AD , but it's been downhill since then. The map of trademarks and inventions which used to be published every ten years shows the Islamic regions as devoid of any new ideas

My opinion, FWIW, is that My Fair Lady is the perfect musical, but as far as Dolly is concerned, it has to be remembered that it's a Jerry Herman musical, and he had a weakness for big, brassy women who got big, brassy themes, such as Mame, Dear World or (the sexes being reversed0 La Cage Aux Folles.
I think the reason anyone would consider Dolly[ overdone is that they are only thinking of the title song and Carol Channing, whose Broadway career was almost entirely spent in that show.

Estimated is an important word here. 'Reportedly' would have worked as well.
The Iranian protesters want the US to intervene on their behalf. I'd go for that if the intervention could be both minimal and effective. The important thing is that reports out of Iran right now are suspect.

Who are you gonna arrest? You need evidence to support that. Yes, yes, the left can arrest people willy-nilly and throw them in prison for years without trial but we can't.
That's reality. You say that you know the Lt. Gov. is involved? Okay, what judge is gonna sign off on the arrest warrant?
That means you have to go through a grand jury and that both takes time and is secret.
Remember - the purpose of the judicial insurrection is to delay and make people on our side despondent. Don't surrender to despair. It only serves the enemy.

A permanent cadre of professional 24/7 duly sworn law enforcement and legal code and the rest of it are just a recent blip in human history.
In effect we as a society have outsourced justice, an agreement to stand down - so long as the legal system does their part. That’s the “social compact” part of the deal.
We’re in that weird in-between period where they have decided to stop upholding their end of the bargain. Recall the DEI hire declaring the rioters “just need room to destroy”. Yet businesses and home owners are expected to dutifully continue to pay property tax and Feed The Machine.
A broken machine. What happens next is anyone’s guess, but I suggest depending on your location learning how to put together a Duty Roster and DA form 6 for roving guard duty. Suburbia is not defendable, nor are rural areas frankly.

Understanding and accepting the problem is the first step. Otherwise we are fighting the wrong battle.
Trump's team isn't perfect and they will make mistakes but I believe they do understand what we are up against. We are battling a communist insurgency. They ignore the rules and just keep pressing forward. Trump's legal team is facing unprecedented obstruction in the judicial system. Judges are making up rules or just ignoring them altogether. That's not Trump's team losing. That's corruption.
They are deporting orders of magnitude more illegals in state like TX and FL because those states are following the law. It's going to be a long fight but we have to keep at it and don't despair with setbacks. We can and will win if we keep fighting.

Subsidy → Contract → Kickbacks → Donations
Its a bit more complex than that. Being part of the grid, electrical providers can pass along the cost of the construction of windmills in the form of higher rates (this is why Texas had huge build-out of all kinds of power: nuclear, CCGT, coal, etc.).
There is also the lucrative business of selling carbon credits generated by the windmills (which is its real business, not providing electricity, but carbon credits that are sold to "dirty" industry - a diabolical form of extortion)
Big Tech, Walmart and other companies with strong profits can reduce their taxable income by gaining credits through solar/wind projects they underwrite.

About 10 years ago I participated in a technical conference held at the Austin convention center in August. I marveled at the air conditioning capability of that facility… it was 100+ degrees outside and almost cold inside…
The summer Houston dog shows are held at NRG Center. The temp outside will be in the 90s but you better wear a sweater inside.

This is one of the most singularly important points if you want to understand modern politics.
On a regular basis the left flips their "core beliefs" in a way, that if you believe they are in fact core beliefs makes no sense.
Federal Agents can kill Ashli Babbitt or Roselyn Boys from protesting if that protesting interferes with a government function, but Pretti and Good have a right to assault federal agents if they disagree with what those agents are doing. Bill Clinton can send a swat team after Elian Gonzalez but sending illegals home is abducting them and on and on...
And that's because the only thing they actually care about here is power.

This digitally enhanced portrait made its debut on the program hosted by Nicolle Wallace, where it was presented alongside a critique of former President Donald Trump’s influence over public perception. The incident has raised questions about media ethics and the integrity of visual representation.
During the segment, Wallace commented on how Trump encourages Americans to distrust their own observations, stating, “Donald Trump and his administration are demanding once again that you do not believe your eyes and ears.” The juxtaposition of this statement with the manipulated image has led to widespread criticism from viewers, who have expressed concerns about the authenticity of the portrayal.
Telling you to believe your eyes and ears as they lie and manipulate images seems, well...........

I did a deep dive into Texas' windmills a couple of years ago. $60 billion in spending over twenty years, of which over $20 billion was subsidies. One third of the cost was subsidy, and since the subsidy only covers building them, they don't maintain them.

As I started waking up, my wandering mind pondered:
As we lumber toward the 2026 election, I thought about that preponderance of voters who selected Trump. What was their motivation and how likely is it to work again?
Who voted Trump because of his rugged but elegant persona (or Melania)? Who voted because he was famous? an Outsider? Who voted for his policies ("I voted for this" as we say)? Who voted habitually Republican? Who voted because Not Democrat? And how do those categories break down for 2016, 2020, and 2024?
While someone not me does that polling, I'm going to have some coffee and read the Report.

I've seen that in my own social circles and the people living in the leftist reality are finding it difficult to acknowledge the humanity of people in the other reality. But this YouTuber says "authoritarians" and "people who are uncomfortable with ambiguity and plurality" are rejecting reality and need to be dealt with (in a caring manner, of course) so they don't destroy democracy.

It is easier to take the things you observe and force them into your narrative then it is to take them objectively and ask how if they are at odds with your narrative.
The left is worst at this because most leftists live in a tightly curated bubble of information but honestly they tend to be worse at critical thinking to begin with. Take the Good shooting.
The left initially argued two things: ICE can't arrest citizens and the ICE agent wasn't actually in front of her car so she wasn't a threat. Both were false. This didn't cause the people making those arguments any concern. Immediately the argument because both "she didn't hit him" and "she had a right to hit him because he was in front of her". Again the first was factually wrong. And the second? The left has made a thing of street riots boxing people in and argued the opposite for years now.

What judges are not successfully doing is ruling illegal a long list of ICE actions most Leftists scream are illegal and un-Constitutional. There are websites and videos out there telling the faithful that it is illegal for ICE to:
-- Detain US citizens and permanent residents for any reason.
-- Use force on US citizens and permanent residents for any reason.
-- Use tear gas and pepper spray on any anyone.
-- Stop any vehicles for any reason
-- Ask anyone for their ID or name and address
-- Enter, forcibly or not, any residence without a US District Federal Judge-signed warrant, or permission of a resident.
And other things.
The faithful continue to intensely believe all those are blatantly illegal, despite ICE doing them forever without a Federal Court banning them, and few prominent Democrats publicly claiming they are illegal. As we here know, the Left's useful idiots and active foot soldiers are beyond reason.

>>The parents of Alex Pretti say their son quit his hospital job months ago and had shown “unusual behavior” recently. “He seemed to have joined some kind of group. We warned him two weeks ago — protest if you want, but don’t engage, don’t do anything stupid,” his father, Michael Pretti, told reporters. “He said he understood.” But it wasn’t until police pulled messages from Alex’s phone that the truth began to emerge — and what investigators found.
>>It seems that Pretti's parents didn't want him participating. It seems Pretti allegedly scrubbed his social media presence one day prior to his actions leading to his death. When you make decisions based on emotions, you make poor decisions. He made bad decisions.

Like I said, Trump gave Walz an off ramp. BPS was the "muscle" that the Feds sent into Minneapolis to bust heads. Shortly after they killed Pretti Walz called Trump "to turn down the temperature." After that phone call, look what happened.
I figure Walz was basically told to get the shit under control or the BPS was going to do it for him. And he wouldn't like how they did it.
Whether he rolls over on the Signal App stuff, Frey, Ellison, the Lt. Governor, etc. is anyone's guess. Presuming he even knew about it.

(LifeSiteNews) — After the National Hockey League (NHL) showed trailers for HBO’s homosexual-themed series featuring glimpses of nude males engaged in graphic porn scenes on its giant jumbotrons during games, the newly minted porn stars were invited to carry the Olympic torch as it makes its way to the Winter Games in Italy next month.
Trailers for the Heated Rivalry series have been shown during multiple NHL “Pride Night” games where children were undoubtedly present.
While the show avoids full-frontal male nudity, a lot of naked flesh is on display during scenes that leave virtually nothing to the imagination.

If they do a deep dive on his posts on the leftist forums he was on they should be able to identify if he was hoping for "martyrdom by cop", if he was planning to assassinate someone and chickened out, or if he was just stupid in bringing a gun.
Because it is...bizarre that you'd plan to go and assault a cop trying to make an arrest while armed. The RKBA protests the left immediately compared this to feature armed protestors...not getting physically involved with cops.

Likely then the story of the middle ages/Renaissance is no longer a conflict between Christians and Muslims but instead Catholic and Orthodox and probably less violent - perhaps more of a race between the two sides to explore/colonize/evangelize the world instead of as many major wars as there were.

I honestly don't know why any of the lay muslims follow any of the religion.
I mean, as I understand it, none of them are going to their heaven.
Under their rules, it's like a few hundred thousand who get in--if that slot isn't taken first by the martyrs.
So it's down to either kill yourself for islam or you're going to hell.
There is no faith option for heaven.
And absolutely no repentance option.
But then you have the Buddhists-- be a good person and maybe, or not, your next life will be better, or not.
And they're like, "yes, let me shave my head, become celibate and subsist off of rice!"

Podcast, The Take: Minnesota, ICE and the makings of a US civil war
A 2024 simulation found US civil war could be triggered by clashes between state and federal law enforcement.
United States federal immigration raids continue in Minnesota, and the operation has set the stage for a standoff between state officials and the federal government. Governor Tim Walz has readied Minnesota’s National Guard, while the Pentagon has ordered troops to be on standby. A 2024 University of Pennsylvania simulation warned that similar state-federal standoffs could escalate into broader armed conflict.

Shapiro responds to anti-ICE protesters outside Philly library event Saturday
The protest occurred on Saturday after a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis by federal agents.
In part, "The Philly protesters specifically called on Shapiro to stop giving "ICE full access to state databases with facial recognition data without judicial warrants," as well cooperation among the department of corrections and ICE, among several other demands.
"Our state police does not ask people their status, and we do not share any of that with the federal government," Shapiro said at the event, which was for his new book, "Where We Keep the Light."
...
"Governor Shapiro has made clear that everyone is welcome in Pennsylvania, no matter who you are, what you look like, who you love, or who you pray to," (Will) Simon (Shapiro's spokesperson) said. "He will continue to stand with Pennsylvania’s immigrant communities."

Daily Tech News 27 January 2026
Top Story
- Intel's new B390 integrated graphics, featured in certain Panther Lake laptop processors, are genuinely a huge leap forward. (Notebook Check)
Previously the best mainstream integrated graphics were found in AMD chips, like the 780M and 890M units that are included in a three nominal generations of processors. Intel's latest graphics unit runs rings around them - 50% faster or more.
AMD still holds a convincing lead with its Ryzen AI Max family, but those are not cheap or widespread.
The one major catch here is that the B390 is only available in laptops with soldered memory. No exceptions. If you need user-upgradable RAM you get graphics running at one third the speed, half the speed of comparable AMD systems.
Tech News
- Television is one hundred years old today. (Diamond Geezer)
Happy birthday, television!
- After two years of vibe coding, I'm back to writing everything by hand. (Atmoio)
It's not until I opened up the full codebase and read its latest state cover to cover that I began to see what we theorized and hoped was only a diminishing artifact of earlier models: slop.
Technical debt as a service.
It was pure, unadulterated slop. I was bewildered. Had I not reviewed every line of code before admitting it? Where did all this... gunk.. come from?In retrospect, it made sense. Agents write units of changes that look good in isolation. They are consistent with themselves and your prompt. But respect for the whole, there is not. Respect for structural integrity there is not. Respect even for neighboring patterns there was not.
What there is, is code spam.
- We have met the enemy and he is slop: A new digital divide? Coder worldviews, the "Slop economy," and democracy in the age of AI. (TandFOnline)
Okay, one moment.
Ctrl-F "democracy"
54 hits. Never once do they specify what they mean, but it readily becomes apparent:On one side are the 'digital elites' - those with the means, skills, or institutional support to obtain high-quality information and online experiences. This group enjoys reliable news sources, can afford ad-free subscriptions or premium content, and benefits from platforms and regulations that attempt to uphold standards of accuracy, privacy, and democratic values. Their internet experience includes credible journalism (e.g., The New York Times, BBC), fact-checked content, and fewer mis/disinformation traps.

A country of geniuses in a datacenter could divide their efforts among software design, cyber operations, R&D for physical technologies, relationship building, and statecraft.
Yeah, "geniuses in datacenters" have a remarkable track record on relationship building and statecraft.
Just... Remarkable.It is clear that, if for some reason it chose to do so, this country would have a fairly good shot at taking over the world (either militarily or in terms of influence and control) and imposing its will on everyone else - or doing any number of other things that the rest of the world doesn't want and can't stop.
Everyone has a plan until they get a Hellfire missile to the face.

- Google Gemini can now help you find the best meeting time for all attendees. (Digital Trends)
All it needs to know is the full schedules of all of everyone, and then it becomes an easy task.
Of course, it already was if everyone's schedule is in a computer, so I'm not sure what problem AI is pretending to solve here.
- Google is set to pay $68 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that it recorded private conversations. (BBC)
Oh, that problem. If no conversation is private, you can't sue Google for recording it.
- The Trump administration is planning to use Google Gemini to draft transport regulations. (ProPublica)
The answer from the plan's boosters is simple: speed. Writing and revising complex federal regulations can take months, sometimes years. But, with DOT's version of Google Gemini, employees could generate a proposed rule in a matter of minutes or even seconds, two DOT staffers who attended the December demonstration remembered the presenter saying. In any case, most of what goes into the preambles of DOT regulatory documents is just "word salad," one staffer recalled the presenter saying. Google Gemini can do word salad.
Great. Now it's regulatory spam.

No on the accent. About a foot to a foot and a half. The piles of snow from people snowblowing and shoveling it are getting to quite the height. (I'm going to have to be very careful to watch for kids playing on those and sliding down those as I approach their stops on the bus.)

About 2-3 feet of snow over Sunday and yesterday. I'm too old to do more than shovel out a path for the dogs, so I hired someone to do the front and side doors and the driveway for $100 bucks and a bottle of Bushmills. From a distance, it looks as if the weather is going to be a repeat of 2015, where we had snow every weekend through February.
I am so glad I transferred to working from home. I would have had to be up at 2sm yesterday in order to drive to work.
About 30-odd minutes of work ahead, so I will take care of that and see you on the Morning Report.

Last night on the ONT, I see, you were talking about "borrowing a cat" to handle a mouse problem. I've never done that. But my mother did. When she was living in an apartment with her cat Sparky a few years before I was born, she told me, her upstairs neighbor was a portrait photographer. He had mice. So she loaned him Sparky, who cleaned the rodent problem up quite neatly.
In return she got an excellent portrait of Sparky: a black shorthair cat with a small tuft of white on his chest. She kept that framed pic on a shelf in the house until she passed away more than thirty-five years later. I wish I'd kept it when I cleaned her apartment out.

I had lots of family and "when I was in nursing school" stories from Mom, but almost none from my father. Many times I heard the tale of how as a boy he had his bike stolen outside the movie theatre downtown and had to walk several miles to get home, but not much beyond that. He was a . . . secretive . . . sort of person. I knew he was an accountant (really a bookkeeper), but I had no idea where he worked. Though he did complain about the commute out along Hwy. 90 East to get to the NASA Michoud facility when he worked there for a time in the early Sixties. But that was not his longtime job.

Near there, Fen; possibly Owensboro, KY, which is a few miles west of it and on the southern bank of the Ohio river. Stories I was told indicate that IN's electricity rates have gotten ridiculously high thanks to a new power company. Owensboro people had no such complaints.
I expect houses in both places, and farther north in places like Terre Haute, are built to handle cold weather, unlike houses in Da Swamp.

My opinion about this shifts back and forth, but since I believe that a lot of Federal workers are biological LLMs, I don't think you can end up with something much worse than the status quo.
I'd offer the option of reducing the size, scope, and power of the federal government as a counter-balance where you might actually be able to obtain and only use the "best of the best of the best" (whatever that actually means in reality) to steer the federal ship, but I cannot perceive a reality where that could actually happen.

A lot of that is a result of DEI hiring, IMO. (The feds have a lot of that as well, TBH, with similar results.) In the case of a company, they probably got some type of kickback from some governmental agency to hire disadvantaged people to provide the support they would like to provide in the cheapest possible manner because that ain't new sales.

True, RC. It also depends on the type of company. A product sales company often has the IQ-challenged (or at least English-challenged). An investment firm like Fidelity should do better, and in my experience they do.

I do like the monitor specs, and it is a Dell.
Currently running the Dell 43" with a pair of 30"s all in 4k, native resolution, no scaling.
The dedicated monitors are good for clear demarcation of interests. That is, the center 43" is for arranging all things IDE, the satellites are for running processes in a portrait mode, and for documentation. With a single 52", one is messing around with ratios of screen to split and Windows aren't good enough with their suggested apportionment.
Also, the 30"s are at angles because even on the 43" the corners are far away and older eyes need to adjust focus.
Few desks are as clean as the advert photo since people stash their phones, beverages, rubber ducks, whatever on the desk surface which obscures bottom portions of low hovering screens.

And in both those cases, we have prosecutions in the works right now that are total tossups, in that jury nullification might come about to acquit the men charged with murder.
If the left ups their game and goes into a phase they view as yankee minutemen guerillas going up against the redcoat oppressors, and starts sniper murders of ICE agents from hidey holes 200 yards out, we could see a lot of leftist heroes getting freed by juries of their whistle-blowing peers.

Well, they have multiple flavor profiles and I haven't eaten it since 1975 or 1976. My memory should be assumed to be faulty when discussing personal details; I'll write what I believe to be the case, but those words could be factually wrong even in context. I.E., I'm not trying to lie.
I've eaten 2 snapping turtles that I've caught; both were in my youth. The first turtle was decapitated and hung on a clothesline to bleed out. Even after an hour (I think), the decapitated body's arms tried to push the knife used to remove the belly plate away. There's meat on the inside of the shell which is difficult to get without contamination from the intestines; a skilled person could do it, but that wasn't me.
So, they are reptiles and cousins of chickens. There's dark meat and light meat. I don't remember thinking there was anything special about turtle meat. I live near several ponds; maybe I should harvest a turtle and see what I can do now that I have some idea how to cook food....

Which pretty much describes my attitude toward crawfish boils.
My DNA includes plates and silverware, and sitting indoors in comfortable temperatures. To me, being outside in savagely hot weather to peel little red-black insectoids for a flake of meat smaller than your fingernail is not worth it. I think crawfish boils are merely a socially-sanctioned way for adults to play with their food.

Ultimately I think the solution is to focus on putting more information in per word, because it just wastes everyone's time to have low information content writing. This is also built in the direction I was going as a teacher before switching careers: every teacher has their syllabus at the start of the year, and what I realized was that if you did the default paragraphs that everyone does, no one will really read it. What worked much better was to present the information as bullet points, so only the useful information with no wasted extra verbiage.

Overnight Open Thread [01/12/2026]
[Photo courtesy of Weasel Studios, ©2026] Gazing up into the night sky seems elemental, for reasons I do not understand. Perhaps it is the wonder of the vastness of the universe that attracts us, or maybe just that it is simply beautiful! We have a fair amount of light pollution (what a silly phrase), so while we can see the beauty of the heavens, it is nothing like looking up during a cold dark night, far from the lights of a metropolitan area. Sadly, our fixation with modern phones and the admittedly impressive cameras built into them have made photos such as the one above a rarity for most people. I am sure many of you have tried to take photos of the moon with your phones, and it simply does not work!

Once upon a time, there was a marine biologist who absolutely loved dolphins. He'd been fascinated with them since childhood, so marine biology was a natural field for him, and he spent almost all of his time researching, swimming with, and playing with dolphins. He grew to love many of his dolphins and consider them his family. But there was a problem. Dolphins, like humans, are subject to the ravages of aging, growing feeble and infirm as they get older, until they inevitably died. But dolphin lifespans are much shorter than human lifespans, so as the years went by, the biologist saw dolphins that were very dear to him grow old, become too weak to frolic, and die, and it broke his heart every single time. He never got used to seeing one of his beloved dolphins pass away and leave forever, and he determined to do something about it. His research became increasingly focused on finding a way to keep dolphins from aging. And finally, after decades of experimentation, he achieved a major breakthrough. But again, there was a problem. He developed a serum that could completely halt the effects of aging in dolphins, allowing them to theoretically live forever in perfect health. But the major ingredient of his formula was a paste made from the ground-up bodies of baby hatchlings of a certain rare species of seagull. In fact, that particular species of seagull was so rare that it was considered critically endangered and had the strongest level of protection. Interfering with these birds, especially their chicks, was strictly forbidden and heavily punishable. So there was nothing he could do to help his dolphins. Until one fateful day. On that day, one of his dearest, most beloved dolphins (a female with whom he had a very special and unique relationship) died of old age. Grief-stricken, the marine biologist decided that the law could go to hell, and that saving his dolphins was much more important than some stupid endangered seagull. He loaded a truck with empty cages and, in the dead of night, drove to a beach that had a nesting colony of these seagulls. He worked through most of the night, going from nest to nest, grabbing any baby birds he could find, and locking them in cages in the back of his truck. Just about an hour before sunrise, he had loaded up his truck with all he could carry and started the long drive back to his laboratory where he could grind up the chicks and make his serum. Unfortunately, it was late, and after working through most of the night he was tired and unfocused, and by the time he saw the animal lying in the road, it was too late. The biologist caught a glimpse in his headlights, and to his surprise it was a lion, who had been relaxing peacefully in the road before the biologist ran him over. A state trooper saw the whole thing. He pulled the marine biologist over, and arrested him for transporting underage gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.

What's the best practical joke you have been involved with, either the culprit or the victim?
I have two Dodge Charger R/T cars, a red one and a blue one. I long conned an asshole at workmfor 18 months that I had two grey ones and was color blind. The week the asshole was rotating out was Christmas party week, and he asked if there was anything he could do. I handed him my key fob and asked him to get the plates and cups out of my blue one. The look of betrayal on his face was priceless.

Here Are 5 Uncomfortable Facts Showing How Bad Europe is compared to America:
1. Mississippi, which is the poorest state in the entire country is now wealthier than Europe's top economies - Wealthier than the UK, Italy, France, Germany and Spain.
2. European spending power is collapsing. Disposable income for the average American is now 80% higher than UK or French citizens, and 50% higher than German citizens.
3. European counties have stagnated. Nvidia alone is worth more than Germany, France and UK stock markets combined. In a fun and zippy twist, Nvidia is worth more than the entire Canadian economy.
4. Europe has the lowest fertility rate of any continent. Using the current trajectory Europe will cease to exist in 100 years due to the failing fertility rate.
5. Europe is not competitive in anything related to high tech. Not blockchain, crypto, robotics, AI, space technology or drones. Absolutely nothing.
So, when Europeans say that the United States thinks we're better than they are, they're right. We do.

The spokesblonde at the WH today laid out very clearly the (obvious) requirements that will be enforced on the vile and farcical "leadership" in MN. Full (normal) cooperation in detaining criminal aliens, whether in custody or when they're collared.
Don't have ICE's master plan but much can be discerned from the pattern so far. They have a priority list of targets in each major metro. They go after them first. They don't get all the criminal aliens in the area (LA, obviously, was fully cleaned out before surge resources moved elsewhere (NOLA, Memphis, etc).

A cow-orker had, shall we say, a delicate stomach. A bunch of us were sitting around a table at lunch. There's lull in the conversation, and one guy slides his finger into a small.plastic bag filled with peanut butter in his pocket, says, "Damn, I stepped in something ." He bends over under the table, stretches his hand toward his shoe, and comes up with the peanut butter on his finger. Looks at it, says, "Hmmm, that looks like dog shit." Sticks it under his nose, sniffs, and says, "Smells like it, too." Sticks his finger in his mouth, says, "Yeah, tastes like it."
Gary didn't make it out of the lunchroom before he left his lunch on the floor.
Explained the joke to him later.
He was not amused.
We were.
If you wanted to needle him, just say, "Peanut butter."

ICE goes in and does their job arresting/processing and deporting illegals. Local leftists get torqued, gin up anti-ICE protests and get national/international monetary support for it. The situation degrades.
Call in Border Patrol Service. The proverbial mounted calvary. Ride in, break some shit, kill a few leftists. Be the stick.
Local politicos, especially one governor who's a weirdo, gets a sternly worderd memo about FAFO. A couple days later the BPS is pulled from Minneapolis and the governor would like to talk to Trump about "turning down the heat."
Walz caved. Minneapolis is restored to order by the end of the week.

Haven't seen BORTAC (BP SWAT) there, or mentioned.
The level of ICE operations will naturally decline as they work down their known target list. Probably already happening.
What's distinctive here of course is the mobilization of idiots - specifically the extensive involvement (not just dereliction) of local govt. types, of course the external $$ and organization, and most disturbing (for me) the apparent misuse of license-plate database access and FLOCK (traffic) cams.

One of my coworkers had enough and finally confronted her. He very seriously told her that crystals cloud the mind and damage neural activiity. Then he said he could prove it and proceeded to walk her around the office. He'd stop at an employee and tell them to think of a color, or animals, or number. Then he would correctly tell them what it is. He had gone around to all of us and just told us to affirm anything he said. We all did. Right every time.
She was much more quiet after that.

I also hate the whistles.
I suspect the noise level of the protestors is well above the OSHA limit for a workplace.
Causing deafness results in a serious disability. I would love to see some federal marshals grab up about 20 whistle-blowing AWFLs and charge them with THAT level of battery!
Seeing a few of their ditzy friends get 10 year sentences would calm down the ardor of most of the non-insane protestors.

And to support this was assuming/hoping they'd set up an "Alligator Alcatraz" at Pendleton. Good practice for the engineers - and plenty of room. Last time something this was done, AFAIK, was back in mid-70s for Vietnamese refugees (real refugees). But I guess they've addressed their detention capacity issue enough to support expected pace of operations. And the LA surge came to an end - not operations, just at that level.

Another display of Trumps incredible capacity for restraint in the service of strategy. Made more powerful by his ability to keep his enemies convinced that he has the emotional control of a toddler.

Well no, they can’t spray protesters. We have to be extremely careful not to use leftist euphemisms. Pepper spray, tear gas, hickory shampoo - that stuff gets deployed in a Riot as far as I’m concerned.
There is no need, after all, to hit protesters with pepper spray (or anything else). It’s easy to slip into silliness on these phrases. Sometimes you’ll hear someone on “our side” talking about “violent rioters”
Is there any other kind?

I'm guessing quality over quanity. They likely have a clandestine apparatus that can just fit in with the crowd, can pass any inquiries from the locals, locate their target, grab them and depart. A more precise deployment under the radar. People will just start disappearing.

I doubt it. Oh - not the bit about the GOP. The GOP governor of OK (OK!!!) and that congressthing Comer publicly mewled about how icky it all was, and there was a need to reconsider. OK governor - not makin this up - even talked about the need for "immigration reform". In 2026. In this context. Stunning.
If there's any backing down, Trump will regret it, as will unfortunately the entire country. If a lawless state can shut down *removals of violent criminal aliens*, chances of effectively addressing 95% of the problem (non-criminal illegal aliens) drop to near zero. And that prospect already looks dim, based on tea leaves and policies.

There were perfectly happy in there and drew a big crowd on Monday morning before school started.
Unfortunately, somebody dropped a dime on me and I got called into the principal's office at lunch.
His 2nd-floor office had a huge set of windows and looked out over the front of the school. As he was reading me the riot act, I could see lots of activity over his shoulder.
It turned out that a bunch of Vietnamese boys were in the pond with their pants rolled up. They would catch a carp and hand it to their sister in a jacket, and they were all running up the street towards home.
The principal finished with, "I want all of those fish out of there by the end of the day."
I replied, "Yes Dr. Roberts, I guarantee all of those fish will be gone by the end of the day!"

On today's subject, I think MN is in for a big surprise. They don't know yet, but it's coming. I believe that Trump & Co. have it all in hand. With plans to use the information gathered against them. Other sanctuary cities should be on notice. I am also an eternal optimist.
They've reached The End of The Road.
I also love Alison Krauss and wth, here's one of my favorites off her new album. I had the privilege of seeing her live under the stars this past summer with my husband. One of the highlights of my year, and the first concert in decades.
Her voice is every bit as strong as it was when I first heard her over 20yrs ago. Pitch perfect & effortless. Incredibly talented musicians who love each other and what they do. It shows,y'all.
We were enthralled & the most polite 3k people to be together one summer night.

It took a long time, a couple hours, but I crafted a fictitious “United States Army Automated Information Systems” cold calling program and spoofed my neighbor. He was really wondering where his next duty assignment would be. Let’s fuck with him!
Each oeriod after a phrase added a few seconds of time, I guessed how long it would be, spoofing how phone banks worked. “Press 1 if you wish to continue” etc. sure enough, I would hear him press the keys! Beeep. It was great.
So I had dial his number, he answers. It went like: (robotic computer voice)

The error bars on that "Galactic year" are a bit wide, IIRC the range is 225 - 250 million.
Since the galactic gravitational field is far from spherical and pure inverse square, that motion is not a simple Keplerian ellipse. There's is also an up and down motion, bobbing up and down through the galactic plane as it goes around. The Sun moves at 100 parsecs above or below the plane with a period of about 60 - 70 million years. And the error bars on that are even wider, I think.

I'd say some random frat boys pulled the best one on me and my then bf/now husband. I've told it before, but wth.
My mother flew out for my December college graduation and finishing nursing school.
It was the first time she met my future husband and visited. We were on our best behavior and picked her up at her hotel for breakfast. Then toured a bit of the city and drove to my college to show where my parent's money had been going for 2.5yrs.
We rounded a corner and there it was! A 10' anatomically correct erect snow sculpture in front of a boy's dorm!!!
My bf and I locked eyes in the rear view mirror (I was in the backseat; and my proper Southern mother in the front passenger seat). It was RIGHT THERE on her side of the car.
I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing hysterically. He had tears in his eyes. There was dead silence for about a block.
I asked her decades later what she thought and she claims she does not remember! Maybe she somehow thought a large snowman (who was circumcised).
We will never forget. I almost died right there on the back seat suppressing laughter.

Meanwhile, local PD deployed to protect two different Mpls hotels - a first in this disgraceful episode.
Contra the idiot GOP and the WSJ, I don't think there's any backing down by the WH. Spokesblonde laid it out clearly this morning.
If locals cooperate normally with ICE, then - of course - things will change. The whole reason for the scope and size of the operation in Mpls is *because of its aggressive insane "sanctuary" idiocy*. If the relevant parts of that are gone, so is the need for a "surge".

Path of Jupiter in the sky over the next 4 years:
https://is.gd/qT3IIB
Note the retrograde motion, back and forth. That's due to the Erf whipping around the Sun about 12 times for Jupiter's once. That's parallax afoot.
And that's where parsec comes from. Parsec = parallax arcsecond. One parsec is the distance (heliocentric) of an object with a parallax of one arcsecond (you see how much an object moves 6 months apart when the earth is on the opposite side of the sun.

Ha! Reminds me of a whack job eBay seller I knew of, she didn’t know my handle, but I knew hers. She had some good items, she was a good “picker” but she had a few goofy items, crystals and such that “improve your feelings of calmness and well being” and that kind of bullshit.
So I write to her “Ask Seller A Question” about an item, one of the crystals. “Hey, if I don’t feel any better or one with the universe after communing with one of your crystals, can I get a refund?”
“Absolutely not” was the reply. LOL! Well I had fun with her! eBay has screwy rules that do not favor the sellers, and I knew all the right buttons to push.

My windshield has a rock-chip that's starting to grow a "spider leg". I keep washer fluid in a spray bottle, out in the car, to spray ice/frost before starting up, and then keep the defrost temp fairly low. Don't want to replace that windshield *again*-- takes all day due to radar re-calibration.

My outside faucets are fine. It has something to do with the one tankless hot water heater and the water line feeding it. I'm just running a faucet connected to that system on a low stream so it doesn't freeze again. Doesn't seem to happen when there is a lighter freeze but it was in the teens last night.

In Mark Dice's latest, he does a fair job of pointing out that the Republicans and the Administration are mischaracterizing the suicide-by-ICE incident almost as badly as the Democraps and the propaganda media, which ill-serves the Truth and ICE's work. Ends with a good clip from Andrew Branca about it.

Goodnight Morons. Tomorrow do something I wanted to this year with my grands...blow some bubbles onto the frozen snow in below freezing temps. Fern like designs apppear on the bubbles. But it was (so far) not to be this year. We normally have snow on the ground for December and January.
We tried it once last year and our toddler girl kept stomping the bubbles.

I watched it happen in real time as I was driving down the freeway. BUT...
I had a small crack (about an inch long) at the bottom.of the windshield. It extended up.about 5 inches, then made a right turn and ran over to the edge. Total time was about 20 seconds.
I suspect that an intact windshield should be immune, but any flaw would trigger it.

That happened one time in my old house in the basement. I kept smelling something weird and I could figure out what it was. I had poison but never used it, because on the very rare occasions I ever saw a mouse in the basement he was dead in a matter of hours with a snap trap. Well some time later I found the box of poison, which were in little bars, and still wrapped in a bag. Yup, something ate a hole in it, so thats probably the weird thing I smelled a year or so before. When I went to sell the house the basement was partially paneled from the dude before me, and I gutted the entire basement back to like it was when the house was built and painted the walls and floors. I never found anything, so who knows where that thing died.

That's funny, borrowing a cat to get mice. I saw an X tweet once about a guy who runs out to the street, grabs a known stray cat, and brings it up and shuts it into a room with a mouse.

The Sun is somewhere between 17 and 20 parsecs above the galactic plane now. We're currently headed up, with 40 - 50 left to go before we turn down on the downswing.
At one time, there was some interesting correlation with that z-axis/plane crossing motion and long term climate and extinction events. But then better data came and that correlation seemed to go away. But it may be back, I'm not sure.
Anyway, it's an open question if the sun's motion through the galaxy may have something to do with those very long term cycles.

When I started cleaning out Dad's house, there was a bunch of stuff packed under the stairway to basement. In between some boxes, I found... a desiccated rodent carcass, just a skeleton. Probably that hamster that we lost in the late '70s but figured it escaped the house. I felt bad for the lil guy.
Posted by: JQ at January 27, 2026 01:04 AM (rdVOm)
The trouble with rodent poisons, is that the lil bastards like to crawl into their hidey-holes to die. Your walls, attic, basement, crawl spaces.... and then rot and stink.

Sadly, the old fella had passed on.
He decided to come back later with some help to haul the body out. He put the corpse in a small room in the cabin, and put the cat in there with it to keep the shrews off him.
Then the weather turned to shit, as only Alaska winter weather can do, and he wasn't able to get back out there for a couple of weeks.
Yeah, you know where this is going, dontcha?

Well, it's warming up. Dropped to 13.8F, then bounced back to 15.1F.
This was interesting. There wasn't any little burst of wind when it happened, which is usually the case, some mixing warming up the surface inversion layer a bit. There was however a little pressure drop and bounce back.

The mayor. In Portland's unusual bureau system, there's a five-person city council with the mayor at the head of it, and he typically reserves the Police bureau for his own portfolio. The rest of the bureaus get split up among himself and the other four by some arcane negotiations, but that one's just too important to let out of his control. As you can imagine, a natural result of this system is that while big-city police chiefs are useless figureheads in general, that goes double for Portland.

You: I'll spend $30 on a cat toy and be a real hero! Your Cat: Go *** yourself, asshole. When your dog escapes but he's still a good boy. The toy they really want? The box the toy came in. GAINZZZ. The bird says "I'm in too." Cuteness squared.

- Here's what's going down in Minneapolis;
ICE goes in and does their job arresting/processing and deporting illegals. Local leftists get torqued, gin up anti-ICE protests and get national/international monetary support for it. The situation degrades.
Call in Border Patrol Service. The proverbial mounted calvary. Ride in, break some shit, kill a few leftists. Be the stick.
Local politicos, especially one governor who's a weirdo, gets a sternly worderd memo about FAFO. A couple days later the BPS is pulled from Minneapolis and the governor would like to talk to Trump about "turning down the heat."
The plot to nearly every fucking Western. Ever.
Walz caved. Minneapolis is restored to order by the end of the week.

She and my husband had a hockey type game with a tennis ball. No matter how deep the snowdrift she'd stick her head in and find the ball. The goal was her doghouse and she was the goalie. It was rare to score a point on her.
She'd jump up for snowballs, etc, like the doggie above.
We took her to my parent's farm and then the beaches of Panama City, where she managed to get fleas (rare in the West). She also wanted to kill the lifeguard dead on the beach, but otherwise she was good. Oh, she killed an opossum within minutes of arriving at my parent's farm.
She did protect me once, so I was glad she liked me. Either a peeping Tom or a potential burgler (idiot, we had nothing to rob). She sensed I was stressed and was right next to me as I dressed. We rarely locked the back door. I opened it and he got the surprise of his life when I told her to "get him." She leapt at him from the three steps and he ran. She did get a his jean pocket and bit his arse as he jumped the back fence. Good girl! She was not trained to attack, she just knew what to do

Carried over from the previous thread (quoting Walz or Frey):
I expressed how much Minneapolis has benefited from our immigrant communities and was clear that my main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end. The president agreed the present situation can’t continue.
I read somewhere within the last day or two that the Minnesota DFL Party had originally wanted to hook Laos' Hmong people in the 70s and 80s as their new "little brown brothers" to swap in for Hispanics, who the DFL saw at that time as wandering off their dependency plantation in the not too distant future. But the Hmong were having none of that, being a proud, forthright and capable people.
So the DFL cast about for a replacement population and eventually latched on to the intellectually challenged Somalis. And the rest is history.

Congress has the ability to spend what are essentially unlimited amounts of borrowed money, that does not exist, on whatever they want. And the “debt shall not be questioned” we are admonished.
None of the insanity we have been subject to for the last 60 years would have been possible without prodigious or copious quantities of confetti-buck dollars shot from the Fed cannon.
In a legitimate or at least sane monetary system, these sorts of insane spending sprees either on stupid foreign wars or whack job domestic fraud programs, none of it is possible. There isn’t enough money in the world.

Ace did a great post about her inspecting a self driving vehicle years ago. She speechifies then is invited to sit in the car. In the dash is a large red button that says DO NOT PUSH (I guess it was an emergency stop button). The first thing she did was push it which killed the car and the whole exhibit, takes hours to reset the car.
She didn't design it, she didn't build it, she had no idea what she was doing. A perfect metaphor to most politicians careers.

Herd them into a cattle truck(SRO) or a swine truck (seated). Make sure it prevents cell phones from connecting.
Take them into the wild, at least 10 miles from any town, and 2 from any farm.
Empty the truck. Repeat until the protest is over.

All the actors have PR handlers and they look at these situations as opportunity to a) remind people these actors are still in the biz and looking for work, b) pay obeisance to the hivemind because Hollywood is particularly nasty toward employing anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton.
For the most part, the one off type posts are easy to ignore. But some assholes tattoo their opinion over and over again to the extent that it damages the audiences ability to see them as the character rather than the asshole actor.

According to the data released by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the error rate in Minnesota is slightly over 2.1%, compared to the national average of 6.1%. The human services department says the data was collected before it started implementing measures to cut down on fraud risk.

Notice how the BLM riots or No Kings, or any of their other color rev shit suddenly shut off when counterproductive to Dems in polling? And they ramp it up when they want to create impressions of Resist.

When my folks lived in Wisconsin for a time after Dad retired, from time to time their domicile would be plagued by raccoons. They would live trap them and in the evenings Dad would drive the offending miscreant several miles outside town and release it on the edge of a side road.
When I went with him one time, the side road happened to abut a Native American Reservation. This time, as he banged on the back of the cage, Dad said, "Go visit your brudders" (on the Reservation).

Eh, gin works well in a G&T for me but Gordons to me works as good as Tanqueray, Boodles, or Bombay for that.
Better spend more on the tonic water than more on the gin. I suppose those that like gin martinis might feel differently.
Beyond that, only serious alkies drink gin straight.

Eh, mixed drinks and expensive top tier alcohol are a waste together. I prefer single malt adulterated only with cold spring water if I had my druthers. But a G&T is fine in summer. And can easily be simulated if you want with club soda and a twist of lime. Keeps a drink in your hand to fit into place but you get to stay totally sober.
I can get passionate about particular vintages of wine and grape varieties, meh on domestic bourbons, and like specific liquors.
But since being on my anti inflammatories/biologics for psoriatic arthritis for years now, I don't drink at all nor miss it much either.

Speaking of Ryan Hall, I just read his analysis of what saved us in the Carolinas (as a whole) from Icemaggedon. It fell mostly as sleet, which I noted and kept my fingers crossed.
The dreaded warm nose was there, but the surface layer was cold enough high enough to allow most it to refreeze as sleet. Had that been a little different, it would've been terrible. That's the what the probability ball bounced. Now for Miss. and Tenn. they did get ice big time, and they are in the dark big time as well.

Therefore, these "protestors," particularly the ones impeding ICE but also those trespassing and attacking Churches, need to be rounded up and sentenced under Federal charges of terrorism. Gitmo would be too kind for most of them. Those who fund these terrorists are likewise terrorists and should face the same penalties.
They have stolen from my pocket, they have injured and harmed US citizens, and, to my mind, the worst is that they frightened children.

It's a game of juggling probabilities. Weather behavior is where Chaos Theory got its start. Several years ago I asked my late cousin, retired meteorologist who was at GSP for years, if it was going to snow. He earnestly replied, "Well, it might and it might not, and if it does, could be a little, could be a lot."
That's all he could say with certainty. As he mentioned many times, they walk a thin line between too much warning and not enough. Say there's a 20% chance something really bad will happen. There's an 80% chance it won't. If they shout from the rooftops to get ready, a Bad Moon is on the rise, run for you lives, and it doesn't happen, they're Chicken Little.
But on the other hand, if they don't warn people, and the really bad thing happens, it's why didn't you warn us!

I've been wondering about that, and the trouble I see is that they're utterly disinclined to work. How many of them speak comprehensible English? Would you hire one of those things in those videos?

The men look like they can barely pick up their feet when they walk.
They don't have any intention of getting with the program. We'll need more laws cutting them off welfare.

JD Vance: California's Fraud Dwarfs Minnesota's
Maybe Minnesota's $9 billion in fraud is what we speculate we'll ultimately find, while the current known fraud is, what, a billion? He seems to mean we know California is defrauding the US for $7 billion and the ultimate tally will be much higher.Vice President JD Vance revealed that about $7 billion worth of fraud has been discovered in California. "I think we have a fraud problem that is much worse than California than it is in Minnesota," Vance said in an interview Thursday, noting the head of US Small Business Administration gave him the shocking news. "This is unfortunately a problem that is much bigger than Minnesota." The vice president also said efforts to block immigration enforcement were a uniquely blue-state phenomenon, adding that some Democratic-led states are engaged in a "small-scale civil war" with the federal government over immigration. ... The Trump administration has also paused federal child care funding to Minnesota, blaming alleged fraud in daycare programs, and has imposed new documentation requirements -- including attendance records and receipts -- before releasing payments to any state, CBS reported. ... Vance pointed to Don Lemon and other protestors storming a church in Minnesota as well as the killing of Renee Goode, saying "a small band of very far-left people" are trying to make ICE "the ultimate enemy," including through assaults on officers and raids on churches. "It's absurd," he said. "It's added a lot of chaos."The Democrat Party is causing the chaos, to create an argument for returning them to power-- "We'll stop the chaos." But you're the ones causing the chaos. It's like the old bit about the man who murders his parents, and then pleads for the mercy of the court, saying that he's an orphan. The Democrat Party has created a huge block of voters dependent on their enabling of fraud at an industrial scale. Looters are now a huge political constituency. And to make that point: You can't cover stories in Minneapolis without fraudulent Somali "day cares" and "patient transport services" in the background of your photos.
You can’t show a random video from the streets of Minneapolis without capturing a 7 figure Somali fraud operation. https://t.co/1NQvSxlsGn pic.twitter.com/nuHNb9OX0o

"Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, the face of the Trump administration's campaign to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants, will be leaving Minnesota, along with some border agents, amid violent, and sometimes deadly, clashes between federal authorities and anti-ICE agitators.
Bovino and an unspecified number of U.S. Border Patrol agents will be leaving the state as soon as Tuesday, multiple federal sources told Fox News.
The news came the same day that President Donald Trump announced that he would be deploying border czar Tom Homan to take point in Minnesota. "
So Bovino is not being removed as head of Border Patrol but rather reassigned from control of the MN situation while Homan takes over.

Several blue states are functionally bankrupt. A big part of the reason is they have promised unsustainable spending. They decided to keep their foolish promises by getting more and more federal funding. The state gets a "cut" of those dollars, so to the extent there are 500 Quality Learing Centers, spending $500 million, the state can siphon of $50 million.
I believe this is WHY the COVID crises was prolonged - special COVID spending kept these states afloat. So, keeping things closed reduced their spending, at the same time they got more funds.
Functional bankruptcy is driving a lot of this.

Average adult. Not disabled, not crazy,. not blind, totally able-bodied. Has live-in sex/life partner, married or otherwise, also not disabled.
One of the couple goes to a crooked psych doctor (but they all are) and after one session of self-diagnosis, gets a bogus (but offcial) Rx diagnosis of some jive-ass mental disorder, like ADHD or Disassociated Identity Disorder (a.k.a. Multiple Personality Disorder), or dyslexia or autism or some shit.
With this official dignosis in hand, they then go to the state and get officially classified as "disabled." As a result, get a massive truckload of benefits -- cash, privileges, deferments, free stuff -- you name it.
But that's just the beginning. The setup for the real scam.
You see, the goal is to get "in-home support," in whcih the state pays for a full-time caretaker for you, the disabled person. And if you know the system, you are allowed to specify whom you want to be your in-home nurse. And guess whom they choose?
Their live-in partner.
Who then becomes annointed as a full-time "caretaker," and is paid a full-time salary by the state for doing so.

Say, for every new $5 million spent, that requires a new worker.
$9 billion in fraud means you could estimate that 1,800 MN state employees are the ones hired solely to administer the fraud.
MN Dept. of Health is 1500 to 2000.
MN Dept of Human Services is 7,100.
Almost 20% of the staff of those two combined ....
100% reliable Dem voters.
The median salary of MN DHS is $71k.
$127 million* every year, minimum, in fraud-admin salaries.
That's how bonkers off-the-charts the fraud is--it is EVERYTHING to the MN Democrats.
*Imagine the size of a corporation that has $127 million in salaries. And this is just one department in one state.
That's how much the burden is on taxpayers.

So, basically, two trillion MF'ing dollars every f'ing year of the federal budget is fraud laundered to prop up blue states and Democrats.
But when the people of the western Carolinas were living in tents over the winter ... there was no money to help them.

And it's completely baked-in to how the state operates.
I was contemplating the rather impressive L.A. freeway system recently and how it is now virtually impossible to carry out an infrastructure project of that magnitude now given the widescale graft and corruption at the very heart of how the state functions.

Point of Order. No. You are frankly wrong.
"W" added a Trillion to the budget with Tarp I. And that flipped a roughly $400 Billion surplus to a $600 Billion debt.
Which Obama then took as the new baseline. I get tired of this. This idea that Barry was some kind of Blofeld.
So much of this goes back to "W", the Elder Bush, and indeed Reagan.

I keep ramming up against this annoying point in every issue. Illegal immigration? There's been illegal immigrants since day one. Nobody gives a shit unless they're forced to give a shit. Going 100% "Arrest Every Illegal" would be a damn trainwreck, but that doesn't mean you can let it become so endemic that it actually starts affecting people's lives tangibly. And you *definitely* can't fucking brag about it.
Look at speed limits. You want to live in a place that has a speed camera every fifteen feet and you get whacked for every one you go past at 0.01 mph over the limit? Hell no. Nobody wants to live in that world.
But we've pushed wayyyyyy way past the bounds of reasonable "prosecutorial discretion" into the world of "There Is No Law, Unless We Just Don't Like You Today", which is basically what they mean by Anarcho-tyranny, isn't it?

"The Paladins, also called the Twelve Peers (French: Douze Pairs), are twelve legendary knights, the foremost members of Charlemagne's court in the 8th century. They first appear in the medieval (12th century) chanson de geste cycle of the Matter of France, where they play a similar role to the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian romance.[1] In these romantic portrayals, the chivalric paladins represent Christianity against a Saracen (Muslim) invasion of Europe. The names of the paladins vary between sources, but there are always twelve of them (a number with Christian associations) ...
Modern depictions of paladins are often an individual knight-errant holy warrior or combat healer, influenced by the paladin character class that appeared in Dungeons & Dragons in 1975."

California Highway Patrol officers arrested Michael Jay Kamfolt, 40, on 11 weapons charges on Thursday, including possession of a stolen firearm and armor-penetrating ammunition, according to a press release. Authorities said they found an underground bunker accessed through a 100-foot-long tunnel and approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

Rigging elections means voter suppression, which is the magic word for "Wypipo don' let blakfoke vote don't worry about how". ICE comes in, prints out the voter roles, then erases all the Muhammeds and D'Flannershplorps (damn that was a crap attempt at a Black Name, i'll try better next time) with the shitty eraser off a #2 Ticonderoga, and Ta-Da, you got yourself a Rigged Election.

I've only been there once...a flight to somewhere (I guess Canada, as I don't remember). We stayed in a hotel near the Mall of America, which did not impress me. Then had to walk in very cold weather to the hotel.

I expressed how much Minneapolis has benefited from our immigrant communities and was clear that my main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end. The president agreed the present situation can’t continue.
I read somewhere within the last day or two that the Minnesota DFL Party had originally wanted to hook Laos' Hmong people in the 70s and 80s as their new "little brown brothers" to swap in for Hispanics, who the DFL saw at that time as wandering off their dependency plantation in the not too distant future. But the Hmong were having none of that, being a proud, forthright and capable people.
So the DFL cast about for a replacement population and eventually latched on to the intellectually challenged Somalis. And the rest is history.

Stephen Colbert's Ratings Hit New All-Time Low
Update: Washington Post Braces for a FIFTY PERCENT Cut in Jobs
Remember, six months ago, in the immediate aftermath of his cancellation, Colbert's ratings rose based entirely on Sympathy Viewing and liberals all claimed he was going to build the show into a juggernaut that CBS would have to un-cancel.
I've got a special delivery: Six barrels of 100% pure pesticide-free Nope Juice.
Speaking of cancellation: The Washington Post continues losing money and Bezos is going to put the paper through another round of massive layoffs. I missed the scale of the coming layoffs: up to H A L F of all leftwing layabouts may be fired.
The Stephen Colbert ratings freefall has reached an undeniable breaking point. As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its already-announced cancellation, the program is now posting record-low January numbers, marking one of the steepest late-night declines in recent television history. According to Nielsen data reported this week, Colbert's show is averaging roughly 285,000 viewers in the crucial 25--54 demographic, putting it on track for its worst January performance ever in the category that advertisers actually care about. With just months left before the curtain closes for good, the ratings trajectory suggests viewers have been checking out long before CBS formally pulled the plug.
Stephen Colbert Ratings Hit Historic Lows in Key Demo While total viewership erosion has been gradual over the past several years, the collapse in the 25--54 demo tells the real story. Late-night television lives or dies by that number, and Colbert's January performance places him firmly near the bottom of the competitive pack. The show's demo average now sits far below what the franchise once delivered during its peak years -- and even trails where The Late Show performed during periods widely considered transitional or unstable. In practical terms, this means fewer ad dollars, weaker affiliate confidence, and little justification for long-term investment. For a host once positioned as the undisputed leader of late night, the falloff is stark. Cancellation No Longer Feels Abrupt -- It Feels Inevitable ... With Colbert's final shows scheduled for May, the ratings collapse has reframed the narrative entirely -- and it directly contradicts the wave of progressive outrage that followed the cancellation announcement. Many left-leaning voices rushed to denounce CBS's decision as politically motivated, even attempting to cast it as retaliation linked to President Trump. But the January numbers tell a far less ideological story: an unmistakable audience collapse. ...
The Stephen Colbert ratings collapse is more than a single show's problem. It highlights the fragile state of late-night television as a whole -- particularly for hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers who have leaned too heavily into predictable commentary rather than entertainment. Colbert's record-low January figures now stand as a blunt data point: viewers have moved on. And with cancellation already locked in, there is no runway left to reverse the trend.
Paul FarhiBrian Stelter whines that Bezos isn't being a good "steward" of the Washington Post. Jon Podhoretz responded that he's not a "steward," he's the owner. But the bratty, underperforming losers at the paper think that Daddy Warbucks should just keep bailing them out forever.
@farhip Per former colleagues at the @washingtonpost: In a Zoom meeting today, Post foreign staff was told by editors that up to *half* the Post’s newsroom will be cut imminently. Biggest cuts to foreign and sports staff. Sickening.
A top Post reporter tells me "there's now a strong sense" across the newsroom "that neither Jeff Bezos nor Will Lewis are serious, good-faith stewards of The Washington Post." pic.twitter.com/ORtFdFmWbD

@ChristopherJM Our journalist colleagues at The Washington Post here in Ukraine provide vital coverage, particularly of the human impact of Russia's ongoing war. It would be a major loss for The Post if it closes or downsizes this team or its other excellent foreign bureaus. But it would especially be a loss to the communities they cover and the American public, too. Hoping The Post leadership comes to its senses.
Meanwhile, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce won't rule out seeking vandalism and trespassing charges against Sydney Sweeney for a harmless and yet sexiful publicity stunt.

From Vanity Fair...
Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is ready to branch out into entrepreneurship. She’s about to launch her own line of lingerie, and not alone: According to a source quoted in US Weekly, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have “invested” in the venture. “This has been a huge project for her and something she’s been working on for the last year,” the insider said. Perhaps this explains why the American was in Venice to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Bezos at the end of June.

In Western CO there is a broadcast channel called Antenna TV that plays reruns of the Carson show Mon-Saturday nights at 9pm. Carson himself on a 60 minutes interview talks about why entertainment personalities should stay out of taking political sides.

Carson doesn't but best viewed by YT clips of specific interviews. Craig Ferguson is almost universally hilarious if you like his style of comedy which is absurdist and close to Robin Williams. The couple of clips with Robin Williams and Craig playing off each other are literally two guys firing off one liners so fast that you can't catch up.
Letterman clips are okay if you go for the music performance clips. Some really good clips of musical artists performing on that show back in the day.

cbs/paramount has recently aquired broadcast rights to UFC (cage-fighting). most of the recent CBS 're-commitment to honest journalism' was to appease UFC ownership (Dana White, spoke at RNC , close friend of PDJT). so that the deal would be go thru CBS previously only had hit pieces on Dana/UFC, but recently, have him on the Morining Show doing a promo for the latest UFC event (which was this past Weekend).
its an uncomfortable dynamic to watch. CBS personalities who mortally hate anyone not in their dimension, now have to pretend they are having an honest interview/conversation.
btw...the broadcast sucked...loaded with commercials/promos(the ppv model works much better for this sport), its almost unwatchable now. however, CBS will broadcast the UFC event at the Whitehouse in July...this has and will influence their 'news content' .

Not much anyone can do about Xi offing his own generals. Xi set the stage when he became head honcho, the last years of Mao had him cavorting with his harem and the Gang of Four terrorizing the rest of the Chicom hierarchy. Eventually teh PLA had enough and told Mao that the Gang went or he went and made him do the dirty deed. They then saddled him with a replacement which in short order became the new face for leadership which was actually a committee.
Xi decided to overturn all to centralize leadership in himself that so you will get the rumors of coups and palace intrigue until he dies or becomes ex leader Xi.

Also pretend Catholic Colbert.
I saw a clip recently where Ricky Gervais indulged in extending his worldview, basically recanning Hume. Gervais said that if you did away with all the books, all the results of Science would come back, but books on religion wouldn't.
And despite the multitude of holes in this scenario, Colbert nodded along: "That's good. That's really good."
Is Colbert the type of faithful Catholic that believes the Lord would ever permit his scripture to be done away with?! Or couldn't arrange for it to come back exactly as written?

I can't think of any current late-night host who is remotely in that category. Talk shows should be about hanging with your friends and pals, having off the cuff BS sessions. Getting to know stars.
There used to be a schtick with the wild animal guy comes on the show with a beaver, or snake, or something. The point was to just, bring something interesting to talk about, and have people let their hair down a bit.
Look at Joe Rogan work. He gets people to talk about all sorts of crazy stuff. There are a few podcasters out there that could fit the bill. Ana Faris. Adam Buxton. Offer them a $5 million contract and let them do their magic.

Former Conservative Home Secretary Suella Braverman Defects to Reform, Denounces UK Tories as Traitors
Suella Braverman had been Secretary of the Home Office (one of the top positions in government) under former PM Rishi Sunak. She was kicked out of the office for speaking two truths the conservative party had declared heretical:
1, that unlimited third world migration constitutes an "invasion," and 2, that it is evident that the police punish native Britons much more harshly than foreign invaders, and this constitutes "two-tier policing." So she's always been more #based than the average inbred paper-pusher in the "conservative" party. But she was loyal to the dying Conservative Party. Until now.Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has accused the Conservatives of "betrayal" as she became the latest MP from the party to defect to Reform UK. She is the third sitting Tory MP to join Nigel Farage's party in the last eleven days, and takes Reform's tally of MPs to eight. At a press conference following her defection, Braverman said she had felt "politically homeless for the best part of two years" pointing to differences over areas including Brexit and immigration. Her defection comes hot on the heels of Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell, who also left the Conservatives earlier this month. Responding to her defection, the Conservative Party said it was "always a matter of when, not if, Suella would defect".As you know, the dying establishment's main weapon is left's weapon of denunciation and defamation:
I saw a Lotus Eaters video in which they predicted -- or put down as a prediction for a 2026 prediction Bingo game -- that the "conservatives" would wither away down to their most liberal members, at which point they would just merge with the Liberal Democrats. As the BBC points out above, that's all they are now anyway. Braverman denounced the remaining "conservatives" as cucks for the liberal globalist one-world maxi-state. Or "wets," as she called them.
The party's initial statement also said: "The Conservatives did all we could to look after Suella's mental health, but she was clearly very unhappy." They later issued a corrected statement which removed the sentence, saying the original lines were "a draft version" which had been "sent out in error". Braverman said the reference to her mental health was "a bit pathetic" and "more signs of a bitter and desperate party that seems to be in free-fall". ... She accused the Conservatives of failing on Brexit while delivering "out-of-control immigration" and high taxes. She said "the final straw came in the last few days" as there appeared to be a "concentrated effort, a witch hunt to hound out right-wingers".
...
In addition to the four sitting Conservative MPs who have now switched to Reform, around 20 former Tory MPs have made the move since the general election, including former ministers Nadhim Zahawi, Nadine Dorries and Jake Berry. Henry Smith - one of those ex-MPs to make the switch - said Braverman had tried to "steer the last government in a Conservative direction" but had been "very much stopped in her tracks". Speaking to Matt Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live, the former Crawley MP said that while the Conservative leadership "might be making noises to the right", many Conservative MPs were "quite frankly more comfortable in a much more Liberal Democrat position".
She now says the Conservatives are "too weak to save themselves, let alone the country". ... She was not offered a position in Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet, and became a vocal critic of the party's record in office on immigration, net zero and what she branded "woke" thinking. ... At a press conference alongside Farage, she dismissed her former party as dominated by "centrists" and "One Nation wets"."Wets" has a specific meaning in British politics. I guess we'd call them "RINOs." Google AI:
In British political slang, "wets" referred to moderate members of the Conservative Party, particularly under Margaret Thatcher, who were seen as weak, unprincipled, or too willing to compromise on her strict monetarist and spending-cut policies, contrasting with her hardline "dries". The term, used pejoratively by Thatcher and her supporters, described those who opposed her tough economic medicine and favoured more consensus or less drastic reforms, like reducing government spending and challenging unions. Key Aspects of "Wets": Origin: Popularized by Margaret Thatcher in the late 1970s/early 1980s to criticize internal party dissent. Meaning: Lacking firmness, being effete, ineffectual, or weak in character and resolve. Policy Stance: Opposed to Thatcher's radical economic agenda, including spending cuts and confronting powerful unions. ... Contrast: Directly opposed to "dries," Thatcher's loyalists who fully embraced her free-market principles.The first video below is her full 18 minute speech. If that's too long, check out the clip from the press conference she gave after her defection. It's a lot punchier.

"Investigative reporter Steve Robinson posted on X that the plane belonged to “top anti‑ICE / anti‑Trump lawyers who defended illegal aliens”, and that all passengers were presumed dead.
He named attorneys Jason Itkin and Kurt Arnold, known for representing immigrants in high‑profile cases in Texas. Robinson’s post also alleged political donations by the firms to a PAC that campaigned against Republican candidates in the 2024 elections. Those claims have not been independently verified beyond his post."

I used to listen to them from time to time. But recently one was mocking an American for claiming their family went back to the Revolution. Lotus Eater guy says "then I'm even more American, because my family never left".
What ... you are more original British, still subservient to a Monarchy, certainly not "even more American" where our ancestors left Britain behind to form a more perfect union.
He also claimed America got everything from them anyway. Well, we got the Magna Carta, but it was not "borrowed/stolen" from the Brits. The settlers were themselves British. It was the settlers' own heritage ... for Pete's sake.

Conservatives changing their name to Reform are just going to give us more of the last 15 years, which they blamed Labour for every election...apparently working enough for idiots to believe them.
I said it a year ago, but here we go again. Vote Reform, get Tory. The right will succeed in turning us into a techno-feudal society within a generation. The white working class will emphatically vote for this because they don't understand the world and are easily conned.
Of course this dipshit who talked about the so called guardian reading tofu eating "wokerati" in the house of commons ends up in Reform. Utterly talentless except at creating noise.
"Welcome to Reform, an exciting new Tory rebranding exercise for a new era. Here's to 14 more years of Conservative incompetence, but now with more toadying up to US fascists than ever before!"

**************************************************
The Liberals (Whigs) never entirely disappeared from Parliament, though they were supplanted as one of the two major parties by Labour. In the 1980s, a moderate section of the Labour Party broke off as the Social Democrats and ended up merging with the Liberals, renamed the Liberal Democrats. They won about one-eighth of the vote in the last two general elections, and their current share of the seats isn't that much lower than their vote share.

*Some* Brits did feel like the CSA would put them n$'s in their place, in Jamaica and so forth. Palmerston was likely one of these.
Cooler heads across the pond didn't want a CSA to rampage through Cuba (as was the plan) which would then springboard into Jamaica to link up with Brits of that sort.
So Her Majesty's Government - wisely, for British interests - stayed away from that late unpleasantness. They had their hands full in recently-post-mutiny India anyway.

Since no one else is answering, Yes it can be loaded and usually is.
You are thinking for people who are in states where you can not carry. It has to be unloaded and inaccessible (usually locked in trunk,... varies. I am not an expert.)

Maybe she got turned around, tromped over her own footprints a few times, couldn't see anything, and panicked. You wouldn't even have to be very drunk for that to happen to most of us in a snowstorm.

The British Whigs were very different than the American Whigs.

Yes. In a LOT of confrontations, you don't have the time to rack the slide and if you carry the revolver on an empty cylinder, you take a significant reduction in firepower.
The issue is training. Almost all discharges are negligent, not accidental because people put their booger hooking fingers inside the trigger guard.
What some are arguing from what I have seen is that the slide got racked in the confrontation and maybe some sort of slam fire occurred. Very rare but can happen. Once you had one shot, then the leos who were already keyed up shot the nurse to stop the attack.
Semi autos can easily put a two or more bullets into someone in less than 2 seconds. Revolvers, too. Most people cannot react faster than in a couple of seconds to any input.
Jerry Miculek, a competitive shooter shows how the maximum of how fast someone can be
Miculek has held five officially sanctioned world records in revolver shooting and over 15 unsanctioned records, including:
1.00 second for 8 shots on a single target (1999).

New Details on Church Invasion Prove It Was a Straight-Up Hate Crime
Tyler O'Neill's thread has the supporting charging documents.
This behavior would not be tolerated if a mosque was invaded.
Tyler O'Neil
@Tyler2ONeil HORRIFYING NEW DETAILS The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought. Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School. One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"
... William Kelly, "DaWoke Farmer," shouted, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil."
About 50 members of the congregation were "stuck" towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they "made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave."
One woman broke her arm. Congregants "were terrorized, our children were weeping, college students and young women were sobbing, it was impactful and it will take time to work through."
An agitator "continued to scream in the faces of young children while they were crying." Nekima Armstrong, a main ringleader, said that @citieschurch
"cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good."
Make no mistake: this church invasion was an atrocity. Sadly, Democrats like @Jacob_Frey, are carrying water for the agitators. Judges denied arrest warrants for 5 of the 8 charged defendants. But @HarmeetKDhillon says this isn't over. Stay tuned.
As gay sex assailant Don Lemon declared -- and he was privy to the intentions of the invaders, being part of the plot himself -- the entire point of the exercise was to "traumatize" the church-goers. Including the children.
The Researcher
@listen_2learn 19h Compare and contrast what these criminals did and how they were quickly released from custody to what they did to the J6ers who simply walked through the Capitol. The two-tiered system of injustice is going to destroy our country.
This video from Don Lemon is the one that frustrates me.

Because there is no way someone in the church didn't call 911.
Yet none of them acted with any concern that they would be arrested.
*
Or they had insiders in the PD tipping them off.
This is why the judge denied the arrest warrants.
Because search warrants go along with arrest warrants.
And the judge is protecting the phones of the co-conspirators.
Because the judge IS a co-conspirator.

I want this cleaned up by the US Military. Scrubbed clean after the nasty people are jailed and millions deported.
I agree with another Moron, make MN a territory. Strip them of everthing. Put the leaders in prison.
To think I spent most of my life thinking MN was an innocent and cold state up north, eating a lot of cheese like Wisconsin.
In reality they are a hive mind of evil and insurrection. The trans movement is high priority to them, as noted by the trans killing of children in the church.

Depending on the exact charges, like misdemeanors, it can mean charging by information in the federal system. Felonies require grand jury indictment. So often a holding charge of information (sworn leo statements of witness interviews, videotape, etc.) is provided to the magistrate to indicate probable cause of a specific criminal misdemeanor law.
Charges can always be upgraded to felonies after a federal jury reviews the evidence and possibly adds to it such as subpoenas for texts, etc.
But people here were agitating for immediate arrests, DoJ responded and the magistrate judge threw out several of those arrests as lacking probable cause. They don't have that power for grand jury indictments.

I guarantee the leaders were hoping one of the member was armed.
And would shoot one of the terrorists.
Because they wanted the story of "white Christian kills black."
One of the black women (who I bet the judge let off) blamed the church members in her presser, saying, they have a right to investigate if an ICE agent was the pastor and, further, that the rest of the members should be investigated to see if they are ICE agents.
There is a reason the cartel judge refused to sign the warrants.
And it wasn't for valid legal reasons.

They are federal. It was a federal magistrate judge that quashed some of the warrants and applied no detention and bail time for the three arrested.
Federal judicial failure but meanwhile, the cases have probably been submitted in the mean time for a federal grand jury. Those indictments cannot be quashed by magistrates and a district judge doing that risks summary overruling at the appellate level.

I would have gone to jail with you. Even if they were not my kids.
In Mass our grands sit with us all, but I have no doubt whatsoever I would protect them. I would die for them easily, and this is not dramatic reading. I have thought about this since the church shootings by trannies and this is my answer.
The church now locks the doors for children's Mass once a week at the school. Some people are armed, but I don't know who.
I'm not armed but I will go down fighting and have felt this way since 9/11 on planes. To the point a decade later my husband told me I should be second string vs in the mass of fighting back. I doubt it.
I once flew on an empty plane with about 10 business men. A Mexican looking dude's phone rang at 10k feet landing (during the cell phone bomb chapter of terror). The plane was half empty and a few men looked me in the eye and we all thought the same thing without words and were ready. The flight attendant asked whose phone and we all pointed to him. Ha! No bomb cause I'm still here.
I will fight.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice a
That does not kill the cases, it simply means now that the whole shebang and protesters are now targets of a federal grand jury. Magistrate judges only have power over minor cases, not grand jury indictments. Once presented to a federal district judge, they might try to quash a grand jury indictment but that is often viewed badly by appellate courts and likely to be overturned.
Blue district court judges have basically shit in their nests by ignoring law and that means their leeway to keep going YOLO is getting restricted bit by bit. The 8th panel shredding the ridiculous injunction by a fed. district court judge regarding ICE actions is an example. Happened within a day or so of the initial injunction.

Yet what appears on the surface to be a routine disagreement between the executive and the judiciary on a rather mundane question is anything but. Schlitz, a former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and a George W. Bush appointee, has unloaded on the DOJ, further revealing the lengths to which even once reasonable decision makers on all political sides will go to undermine the president’s immigration enforcement agenda in Minnesota and risk the safety and rights of their own constituents in the process.

anyway the heat unit might not be broken, just gone a little haywire.
sorry! at least this is a rare occurrence for you! up here it's common. why we have other heat (central wood burning stove and fireplaces up thru the bedrooms).

And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

So it's a question of crooks (Hawiye) or genocidaires (Daroodis). Maybe that is why Republican governors say a little fraud here and there is the price of business in our glorious multicultural equitable dream.

To Marxists, "comfort" makes you complicit (this goes back to Marx).
But what are the whiners whining about?
ICE platooning their neighborhoods doesn't make them feel safe--i.e. comfortable. Thus, what they seek is a *form* of comfort.
The castigate comfort, but they insist on comfort in their own terms.
Plus, what is the best that Marxism has to offer, granted it can do anything. Provide human comfort.
What do illegals, in the narrative, come to the US for? To have a better life, i.e. more comfort. And the Marxists insist that our laws should not withstand people seeking comfort.
So it's really about ONE group insisting comfort on their terms, or otherwise they are going to discomfort you.
But that means that they are--by their own reasoning--complicit in the rape and murder of American girls and boys.
Because they are comfortable NOT doing anything about that.
However, unfortunate for our side, they have called that they are rubber and we are glue.

Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at January 26, 2026 03:44 PM (ufFY
Spears. In most cultures, spears and variants were the primary hand-to-hand killing weapon. The Japanese samurai used naginata and yari as their deadliest weapons (cinema downplayed them in favor of the katana, because the katana was flashier and more entertaining to watch). In Europe, the spear was the mankiller until the advent of firearms, and it still took several hundred years for it's replacement by the rifle and bayonet, which is still a form of spear. Modern soldiers are still taught the basics of spear/bayonet fighting today.

Even so, pathetic. I am glad to be a redneck who fights back and always will. My brother and friends trained me well.
I have in a split second in college with ONE goosing by a frat boy. That guy was lucky he was faster than me because I was going to give him a head injury (I had a cast iron Dutch oven lid in my hand, which is a long story as I did not normall walk with one). Seriously. I was going to hurt him badly was my only thought after calling him a bastid at the top of my lungs (near a park with others).
I am never afraid for myself. And no one had better touch a hair of my grand's sweet heads or they will be missing eyeballs and some nether regions for starters.
I mentioned all this to my husband just now, the church invasion, and his answer was,"What do you expect...it's MN!"

It would appear the judiciary is going to be a real problem with this. One might want to take a look at what sort of charges were dropped and the rational for electing not to arrest Lemon and instead make an attempt at simply charging him (what whatever?)
I've no idea if the arrests can be reinstated, but this horseshit is getting really fucking old.

Yes. the only permanent dismissals are via an actual ruling by a judge that can be appealed. Usually the ruling is pretrial but a few times can happen after the prosecution has shown their case or after the defense rests but before the jury gets the case. These summary decisions are one of the most reversible on appeal of any judicial decision. That is because the dismissals have to be by law, not by fact. The only thing more reversible is the rare judge overturning a jury verdict.

I've had occasions where some drunk idiot put his hands on my wife without her permission. I can tell you exactly how that ended up for that drunk idiot, but it would sound like me being Billy Badass, which I'm definitely not.
Now that my wife and I have kids, I can tell you that drunk idiot got off light in comparison to how I would react if someone fucked with my children.
Has jack shit to do with being a warrior culture or anything like that. It's how a normal man should react when his loved ones are threatened.

In the 80's in Germany the commies were shooting each other in power struggles "with police calibers" and dumping the bodies at the mass protests at army bases and nuke generating facilities to "prove" the violence of the establishment.
This went on until one of the bodies was discovered before the protest in a parked truck.

I'm a Christian, but I'm not Jesus. I will defend my mortal coil and those of my loved ones if the need arises.
The Civil Revenge Movement and their gay-ass revolution full of SSRI candy-asses who think they are sweaty jungle fighters in red star berets have the upper hand.
It's unsustainable.

They need a standard uniform. If I didn't know it was ICE, I would think they were just a bunch of thugs beating on someone. Then some random guy wearing a gray jacket walks up to the scrum takes a look and walks of with a gun.

"Father" Pfleger is a disgrace. He only thrived because the previous Archbishop of Chicago was also a Peter-puffer. Any priest who is well-known for anything other than his exemplary service of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or publishing deep theology is suspect.

I knew quite a few of the guys who went on to be priests in Chicago. The were a few men among them, b ut too many of questionable character. And it doesn't make take many to do a lot of damage.

I did fight. And when I asked the people I thought I had been fighting for to stand up for me, several told me "no one cares, go kill yourself" and everyone else just looked the other way.
So I think I'm done. What I'm afraid we are seeing is that our people no longer share the values necessary to maintain a Republic. Standing up for a falsely accused Marine should be instinctual for anyone who says "thank you for your service" and means it. But in 8 years only 1 has.
Worse, the younger generation of men witness variations of this betrayal and come to the conclusion that we were fools to believe in America. I'll can't agree with that but I don't blame them for not fighting.

Maybe the difficulty Republicans have with surrendering their way to victory is they just haven't tried it hard enough. Have they tried surrendering really really hard yet?

All OT.
All meant for Israel, which had to sustain itself as a political entity as the crucible of the Christ.
Israel was to be a great nation, so the Lord arranged a plundering of Egypt, because that's what "great nations" did. That's how they came back from Egypt with the initial confidence they had.
But misadventures did not sustain the Northern 9 tribes, which never recovered. (Although I'm not sure whether the Levite tradition was maintained in Judah and Benjamin or not).
We are in a different age with a different covenant.

He had a backup Mag.
Let's not get all retarded.
Posted by: garrett at January 26, 2026 04:24 PM
I heard he was carrying 60 rounds & that they were the SIG extendo mags, so yeah, the mag in the gun and two spares...so, two spares is not unreasonable
when I was shooting USPSA, I went to the line with 48 rounds on me (6 mags), but that was knowing I was going to take at least 30 shots
on one hand, two spares is not unreasonable
on the other hand, 60 rounds seems a little heavy for a "just walking around" ammo load

Jan. 24, 2026, Statement, in part, by the President of the AFGE
WASHINGTON – Following the tragic events in Minneapolis, American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:
“Today, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an AFGE Local 3669 member and a nurse at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center who dedicated his life to serving American veterans, was killed during protests in Minneapolis connected to the administration’s immigration actions. Our union is heartbroken. An AFGE member is dead. And a family’s life has been forever changed.

As a RN, after one nurse was attacked in the parking garage one night, we had meetings with security. Who showed us basic ways to stop an attack. Or try. Included some basic breaking physical holds. I still walk with keys jutting between my fingers out of habit. To gouge eyeballs. If we were alone we could request a security guard to escort us at night.
I rarely sit with my back to the door where people enter, as I still people watch. I do this on planes and at airports out of habit. In restaurants. Granted,at an outdoor Alison Krauss concert last summer, I did not screen 3k people, but that was an exception. I don't screen everyone coming into Mass, but I do look at the people around me. I look like a classy old broad who would not be thinking defense in Mass, but I do initially.
I always have a plan. When our son was playing sax in nightclubs in college (FL), I told him to find his exits (after the RI horror fire that killed many).
I am olde but fairly fit and I will fight.
I don't understand the mindset of anyone in MN who does not feel this way. Are they blind or just stupid and brainwashed?

It's not gonna be reported truthfully, no matter what the conditions were. There's a lesson to be applied and people need to learn it. Specifically, threatening kids and churchgoers is not tolerated under any circumstances.
Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at January 26, 2026 04:37 PM (3Ope8)
Then yes, I am confused as to why it isn't the default. Probably requires coordination with the local commies, though.

They may have put that statement out but there are no more active unions in the VA. VA Secretary Doug Collins took care of that under Trump.

Damned straight they are losing respect... they should have worked over the guy with batons the moment he grabbed one of them.
ICE is too restrained. Abbott's life is too soft, he is insulated from thugs and can watch people get attacked from the comfort of his highly secure governor's mansion.

No, it's fucked up, obviously. I'm saying that the people there made their decisions as to how to act as best as they could, to the degree it was even a decision and not simply fear and confusion, and i'm not going to be the one to talk shit about them and play the "well I wudda kicked they asses" game. They're not cops. They're not soldiers. We don't all walk around trained and ready to get into a fucking street fight at the drop of a hat. And beyond that, what if this was The Lord's plan for them anyway? They chose not to escalate or retaliate, but to suffer the indignity. Now they're simply victims in the eyes of anyone who isn't a retard smellie, and no one can say "well they were fighting too hurr durr".
