Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - March 4, 2026 [Doof]

doof-sailboat-sunset.jpg

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Wednesday ONT. Many thanks to Dino for handling ONT duties last night. That's right - those of you tuning in tonight hoping for midweek shenanigans a la T Rex, sorry to disappoint you. You are stuck with the Doofster. But you're already here, so you might as well stick around and let us know what's on your mind tonight!

***


Speaking of T Rex

Seems as though my friend Dino hasn't been fully forthcoming with his fleetness of foot.

Scientists Just Discovered That T-Rex Actually Pranced on Its Tiptoes. But This Made Them Even Deadlier Than We Thought

Pop culture has conditioned us to imagine a terrifying encounter with Tyrannosaurus rex first starts with the rhythmic, earth-shattering boom of heavy, flat-footed stomps. But if you were actually standing in a Cretaceous forest, you might not feel those tremors at all.

Evolutionary biologists and biomechanics experts are giving the apex predator a serious makeover. It turns out the T. rex was remarkably dainty on its feet. Instead of slamming its heels into the dirt, the ten-ton carnivore may have walked and sprinted on its tiptoes.

***

Fossilized footprints actually corroborate the math. When the researchers examined tracks left by tyrannosaurs, including a massive three-foot-long track from New Mexico, they found the deepest impressions were located under the toes.

This suggests the dinosaur pressed its weight into the front of its foot. Walking on tiptoes allowed the T. rex to maintain a crouched posture, taking numerous fast steps to stay stable. This distal-first strike turned the animal’s legs into massive shock absorbers, managing the immense stress of its body weight over uneven terrain.

Check out the whole thing. Long and informative article.

***

Not related, yet somehow related. This is now my default thought of how our own T Rex actually ambles around.

***

More science-y stuff.

OK, this one is really what I'd call pseudo-science. It's a video disguised as an article (first clue to its questionable believability). The person in the video is (supposedly) discussing why we can't launch earthly garbage into the sun. I watched the video. You should too. Tell me if you hear anything other than generalizations about it being too costly and our space technology not being intended for such matters.

The main takeaway I got out of the video was that we shouldn't be thinking of innovative approaches because we need to be lectured about not producing so much trash to begin with. See if you agree.

We can’t launch our trash into the sun. But why?

Maybe think about a solution down here on Earth first.

If you’ve spent any time on the Earth in the last 50 years or so, you might have noticed a lot of trash laying around…with less and less space to, you know, put it. Meanwhile, we’re sending all sorts of satellites and rockets beyond our atmosphere every day.

That’s why you asked us: Why can’t we launch our junk into space, too? Or better yet: STRAIGHT INTO THE SUN!

For the moment, let’s set aside the big problems with creating too much trash in the first place, and focus on the blocker: We simply can’t afford to shoot our junk into that flamin’ hot Cheeto in the sky.

Plus, shouldn’t we worry about finding a solution down here on our planet? Yes.

On our latest video episode of Ask Us Anything, we explain why we can’t launch our garbage into the sun or onto the moon.

Commercial Aviation Segment

I came across some air travel articles recently - so why not make an ONT segment?!

Customer Uproar Forces Southwest To Rethink Assigned Seating Policy

Southwest Airlines’ decision to abandon its iconic open-seating system has sparked a wave of customer backlash, prompting the carrier to reassess parts of its newly introduced assigned-seating policy in early 2026. The Dallas-based airline’s move, which was rolled out on January 27, 2026, was intended to modernize the booking and boarding experience, but loyal flyers have loudly objected to unintended consequences that have emerged in the first weeks of operation. As complaints mounted across social media and travel forums, Southwest responded with refinements aimed at addressing pain points and restoring trust among its most frequent passengers, as reported by the Dallas News.

At the heart of the controversy is bin space and boarding flow. Southwest’s overhead bin issues arise from a mismatch between its newly assigned seating system and the aircraft’s original design, which was built for a different approach. Under open seating, passengers could pick a row with available bin space, which would naturally spread carry-ons across the cabin. Assigned seating removes that choice. Now, some passengers with seats toward the rear often board earlier and sometimes stow bags in forward bins to avoid carrying them down the aisle.

Check out the whole thing to read about what the airline plans to do. Spoiler: they are not returning to the old A/B/C boarding groups.

Flight Attendants and Pilots Use These 4 Phrases on Board to Signal Emergencies—Here's What to Listen For

“Terms like ‘Code 300’ or ‘Angel’ are typically used by commercial airlines to discreetly signal a medical emergency onboard, often when a passenger is incapacitated, unresponsive, or in serious distress,” Jason Martinelli, the director of operations at Cirrus Aviation Services, told Travel + Leisure. However, he noted airlines “often have their own internal codes and operating procedure” for these types of scenarios.

***

Other code words could include "code yellow," which usually indicates a minor medical incident, "pan-pan," which indicates a serious, but non life-threatening emergency, and "mermaid," meant for passengers who purposely sprawl out across empty seats in order to get the row to themselves, according to luxury vacation rental company Wander.

I'm often fascinated by insider jargon like this. Just this week, while on a demolition type job site, I heard some of the crew start saying "eighty eight" to each other when a particular gentleman showed up. That is their code for when someone from the safety department shows up. Hmm -- Now I need to pay attention to what they say when I show up.

Any of you have examples of stuff like this? Code words or signals you use to alert others of a particular person or thing?

***

Any of you ever see one of these in real life? I never have.

Of course it's a redhead!

It's funny because it's 40 years out of date. That's when there was fear of running out of landfill space, but of course landfills can become parkland, and often do. Also, the danger of gas and methane is gone because those are now tapped and use for fuel. At some point, if metals get scarce, we will mine landfills for them.

Basically it's all lies.

It's part of the overall alienation of society, where humans are reduced to mere images. Actual physical intimacy is too stressful, so better to just do snapchat and achieve some sort of connection that way.

It's the sexual equivalent of people doxxing and otherwise taunting people who - if they were physically present, would punch you in the mouth. But since you're on the other side of a screen, you're full of courage. Exact same vibe.

68 It's not that we CAN'T send our garbage into the sun, it's more "Wow, that would cost a lot." Oddly, sending things sunward so they actually crash into the sun is not as easy as you think. And takes more energy (supposedly) than going outward.

I've long said we should dispose of our nuclear waste by putting it in barrels that will collapse asymmetrically, and drop it into the Marianas Trench, where it should get shoved down into the mantle of the earth and recycled. Don't see why you couldn't do the same with trash.

Wow, that is now 2 days in a row with a Lotus reference for me. Was talking with a coworker about how I use keyboard commands in Excel (such as Ctrl-c / Ctrl-v). Also the Alt-tab command to switch between active applications in Windows. I mentioned that my tendency to use keyboard commands likely goes back to using Lotus 1-2-3 back in the day.

105 Energy-wise, dumping things into the sun is really hard - you have to negate all of earth's rotational velocity around the sun. Imagine being in a 65mph pickup, and trying to throw something out the bed so that it lands with zero velocity.

That's so much energy that some SF writers have suggested throwing it out in a comet-like orbit towards Pluto, then at the apex, adding just enough horizontal velocity to be able to fall straight into the sun. That _might_ work out cheaper, delta-v wise than trying to negate the earth's rotational velocity at 93 million miles out.

146 It's not that we CAN'T send our garbage into the sun, it's more "Wow, that would cost a lot." Oddly, sending things sunward so they actually crash into the sun is not as easy as you think. And takes more energy (supposedly) than going outward.
-
I haven't done the math, but consider that the Earth orbits the sun, and thus has a certain momentum which is sufficient to keep it there.

If you were starting at the sun, you'd have to expend a certain amount of energy to get here, plus some to be moving perpendicular to gravity fast enough to stay (there are squares of distance in the divisor of these terms). And then some more if you wanted to escape and you could be clever and slingshot around some of the larger planets. I'm not sure which of those is the bigger factor, but I'm sure someone's done the math on where an orbit would have to be to be 'halfway' out, so then it's just a question of whether we're closer or not.

Cover bands try like hell to do that. People have the original recording of the song burned into their head, and its what they want to hear. Most of those stupid shows like the one ABBA is on many times had the band out there flailing away like idiots to a recording. Its an insult to the band. Hey you're gonna be wall paper for the night.

I am now totally obsessed with the possibly fake Marine who "broke his wittle hand" in the meeting and Sen Sheehy, former Navy Seal dealt with him. And one of the crowd calling him a coward...in which time Sheehy should have pounded his mouth shut.

I've watched the video as someone mentioned a "crack" and saw his arm pop a bit. I think the nitwit dislocated his elbow. His hand is not crushed as the Code Pinkos would believe in their shrieking. Like it would come out smashed flat from a steam roller and yukky.

whig posted his little CV of his service and it looks lame.

His dress pants look polyester vs wool and costume like. A chest full of medals for doing not a whole heck of a lot until 2004 in Africa. Probably digging a well for the Peace Corps (he got Peace Corps and Marine Corps confused).

The entire write up is lame. For starters, after this display, I seriously doubt he was on the boxing team "until he broke his hand." Or he seems to have a tough time with his hand.

Then we come to judgement day of him wearing a dress uniform when not on duty for over two decades. As I said below, I think this deserves Leavenworth Psych Ward at the very least.

154 Talking trash...

Earlier this year, from around late January through mid-February we were pretty much snowed in. I think we made one trip out to buy some provisions, but mostly to get booze. The trash didn't get picked up but once in 3 weeks due to icy roads.

Anyway, on the occasion I had to take our trash bin down to the road I was amazed at how heavy it was.

There were a lot, many, obscene amounts of empty liquor bottles and wine bottles in there.

So, yeah.... I'm sorta' proud.

She already had some stuff in a little bag and went to our car and waited. And waited. And then came back in the house where she found me making a couple of sandwiches to take along. Amusement? No. Daughter came along about 13 hours later. I wasn't hungry.

This isn't just about Iran. Every country watching this is doing the math. Every country that has been quietly drifting toward Beijing's orbit, betting that China is the future, is watching Beijing issue press conferences while its strategic partner gets regime-changed.

The multipolar world was never a reality. It was a theory, a brand, an aspiration shared by countries that had grievances against American power. But they had no actual capacity to replace it.

And when the moment of truth arrived, all Russia and China could do is say, “sorry for your loss.”

.........................
Twice on a flight as I was helping the crew they just paged anyone medical to come to the galley.

Unfortunately for me and the psych patient two social workers (from Oregon) showed up and one was crazier than the psychotic passenger. After the social worker scared her discussing a spider costume for Halloween, the passenger we were trying to calm down attempted to open the door to the galley. I figured at over 30K feet it would not open due to pressure (the social workers squeed). EMT's met that flight and hauled her off.

The lead flight attendant put me in charge & offered me food but I was fine with gin and tonics. I kept the plane from landing in Atlanta.

I got Delta Sky Miles for my heroics. After a half hour my husband came back to see what was going on.I only got to sit by him on landing.

The other patient was depressed,sobbing and vomiting and I was very compassionate with her.

264 I was a juror on a case where the perpetrator was caught surreptitiously videoing 8 - 10 year old girls sunning themselves at the beach.

We jurors had to watch the whole 20 minute video. It was extremely uncomfortable even though there was no nudity. Fortunately for us jurors taking or viewing pics of kids at the beach isn't illegal.

Unfortunately for him taking pics of children, even clothed children, that would make a reasonable adult uncomfortable IS illegal if it's with sexual intent. (he admitted on the stand that it was)

It took all of five minutes to find him guilty.

When we lived in FL on a busy,crowded holiday weekend at the beach (we went every weekend and lived 1/4mi from the Atlantic)...I saw similar.

A man had one of those large video cameras pointing at my sons as he held it. Sons were on boogie boards. 5yrs and 3yrs.

I did not say a word to my husband but got up and walked towards about 10' him and he ran. Now I wish I had alerted the entire beach and lifeguard, but my instinct said pervert and alarms went off. I'm still mad about it, that I did not do enough.

There was a video of it, but of course (as with 99% of everything now blasted over the intertubes, by individuals, guvamints, and "journalists"), it's impossible to know whether what you're watching is a routine daily occurrence. Or something big.

Anyway the counter-cartel operation in Ecuador kicking off the same time as the Iran festivities is a nice reminder of how big the battleground is.

You haven't lived until a tall glass of coke tips over, hits a bong, and both poured into the keyboard. With nothing to lose I carried it carefully to the sink, dumped it out, ran it under the hot water rinsing it out, took it out to the garage and blew it out with compressed air. let it dry overnight. Damn thing worked fine.

Praying all goes well for the new Moronette.

Didn't know our firstborn was female until she was born. Even with the ultrasound, we didn't know our twins were boys until they were born. (The ultrasound just showed they were two distinct entities, not a giant kid. The tech was more primitive back then.)

I don't think it's fair that nowadays parents get to know which color to paint the nursery before the baby's born.

Got him to DMV in WA today for new ID card. No dupe license-- he's been suspended for not paying tickets. (eyeroll) Can't do jackshit without photo ID.. and he's fck'd off everything... trailer, truck, phone.. idiot.

Tomorrow, taking him to DSHS in WA, see if/what he can qualify for. Get him signed up for something, anything, to get him out of my house. But of course, DMV must mail the new photo card (not to MY address, no way!) to "general delivery" in WA town... maybe 2 weeks to get it. UGH!

321 When viewing evidence during a trial where illegal material, underage pics, vids, etc., is viewed by the jurors and court, what protects the viewers from charges stemming from that viewing?

I'm sure there is some rule of jury immunity for handling evidence, but even if there wasn't, how would you get a conviction?

Prosecutor: "Jury Number 2, we will prove that all 12 members of Jury Number 1 watched illegal material. One of the elements of that charge is that the material was illegal. You will have to view the same material to determine if it was illegal"

327 Speaking of consular affairs and diplomats, persona non grata, etc. I downloaded George Kennan’s autobiography. He was a pretty famous US diplomat in the 1930s thru the 1950s, was stationed in Berlin and Moscow and understood Europe and the Cold War. It’s a pretty good read, he was a really good writer.

I’m getting the distinct impression our later diplomats may not always have been quite the caliber of George Kennan. And the Secretary of State position can be a real crapshoot.

66 Man. Helping Ski Patrol train the the avalanche dogs was a hoot. Also having puppies at work all year was cool. Diamond Peak had two, about two years apart back in the late 90's when I worked there. They would hang with me in the summer while I did lift maintenance. I had a tennis ball thrower and would throw the ball WAY out into the sticks and they came back with it every time. Those dogs were the dogs world equivalent of extream sportsmen. I miss that life.

67 Saw Peter Gabriel at the University of Buffalo's Alumni Arena on the SO Tour. His opening act was Youssou N'Dour, who had performed on some songs on that album. During N'Dour's set, Peter Gabriel himself comes strolling down the aisle, wearing a suit, shaking hands and asking people in the aisle seats how they liked his opening act. Thought that was pretty cool.

We had a giant party bowl going and one of my friends offered it to Gabriel, who smilingly declined. "I have to sing in a few minutes!"

It's tack. And yes it is a change of course when heading upwind. When heading downwind it's called gybing.

Reefing is a shortening of sail due to stronger winds, it has nothing to do with either tacking or gybing.

120 Aetius,

You tack into the wind. You zig-zag to maintain a course, using what wind you can grab in your sails to keep moving. When the wind fills your sails, your are sailing with a fresh wind.

134 I love Nate Bargatze.

The avalanche doggies are so great. What a great job for both ski bums and doggies.

All avalanches are typically in the back country and ungroomed areas on the other side of the mountain of a resort. By the time the ski patrol arrives it is typically too late. Now skiers who take these risks wear beacons and some have, if they have time, the ability to trigger an avalanche airbag. Sadly some die even with all this and training. They know the risks and do it anyway.

I used to like to ski but stayed in the resorts.

But they are fun to bark at. They bark right back! It’s hilarious when you’re racing sailboats, round a mark and there’s sea lions perched on it and we bark. And hold our noses. And the bark back! And then we pass the flask because it’s awesome.

150 I do like to visit the lakeshore, and it's particularly nice to walk around the harbor at sunset, taking in the marina, and sometimes I look at the vessels docked there and think "Damn, that is really F-U money."

Because it is. To really get the pleasure of owning a boat, you have to be lighting your cigars with $100 bills. I know people who were close, but not there, and it was endless misery. The happiest day of owning a boat is when you buy it. The second happiest day is when you sell it.

sowing confusion and despair, doubt, and guilt are part of propaganda. It makes people anxious, it grinds into the target audience guilt and self debasement. It is standard mind control and psychological warfare.
It was very prominent during Covid and BLM, and it still flares up.

Trolls confuse language, confuse terms, and drive home ideas that should make people shamed and debased in their own minds.
These trolls aren't very good at it, mostly, a few were very divisive, and quite effective

Aktually...yes. Surface combatants are different from submarines. Lots of examples of this.

Submarines are different insofar as surfacing will get them killed, along with anyone they might "rescue" and they also have insufficient space to hold passengers. Early in WW I, the practice was to surface, force the ship to scuttle itself, and then take the captain aboard, while the crew took to lifeboats.

Arming merchantmen forced submarines to use torpedoes (less accurate, few aboard) and that meant no rescues, no advance warning. Classic escalation spiral. What was barbarism is now accepted practice.

The four greatest buyers of gold in the world are India, Shanghai London and the US.

Shanghai and London have recently had a problem filling their physical gold and silver orders, though that had mostly resolved itself. It looks like the question of whether there is enough gold in Fort Knox and JPMorgan has solved itself in our favor, though.

More schmolling: More than a majority of the country now agrees the economy has improved since Joe Biden's Miracle Economy.

And remember, that was the best economy in history, according to the communist propaganda media.

A full 52% of voters say the economy is better today than it was under Biden -- up 5 points from January. 51% say the economy is strong right now, up 8 points since November 2025. And 36% say their personal financial situation has improved, up 4 points since November, with gains concentrated among Republicans, males, likely midterm voters, and urban voters aged 25-44.

@CBSMornings

FBI Director Kash Patel recently fired nearly a dozen FBI agents who worked on special counsel Jack Smith's probe into President Trump's classified documents case -- and CBS News has learned from multiple sources that many of those agents were working on global counterintelligence cases, including some involving Iran.

One source called the firings "devastating to the FBI's Iran program."

The FBI said it still maintains robust counterintelligence operations across the U.S.

The Assistant Director for Public Policy at the FBI fired back with actual facts:

Ben Williamson
@_WilliamsonBen

1h

I can play the "sources" game too - the difference is mine know what they're talking about

1) I spoke to four FBI execs and supervisors, all of whom confirmed that only 3 of the individuals fired actually worked the Iran issue

2) Further - all called the quote that it's "devastating to the Iran program" total BS. Not just because it's 3 people - but FBI surges resources and personnel from all over the country to prepare for these things.

3) It's a false suggestion to begin with. The FBI had a record year on CounterIntel last year (+35% arrests, Six of the Ten Most Wanted fugitives captured, etc) - all involving a massive operation, not something run by three people out of one unit.

This is a transparent spin job by people mad about firings.

All Democrats are Marrion Barry Democrats.

The Baltimore mayor's office spent more than $890,000 on lavish meals and parties -- including crab feasts, catered "farewell" bashes and massive tabs at Ravens football games, according to a report Wednesday.

Mayor Brandon Scott's administration blew taxpayer cash on over-the-top perks for staffers -- including $52,589 on grub in the Mayoral Suite at Ravens and Orioles games -- in a gross violation of the city's "public funds" rules, according to baltimorebrew.com.

Mayor Brandon ScottMayor Brandon Scott's office spent more than $890,000 on lavish meals and parties, according to a report.

One of the elaborate meals was served at a $3,636 farewell "office party" for Scott's former campaign manager Marvin James, which featured a $324 balloon arch, a $217 cake and a $2,600 catered spread with crab balls and grilled salmon in March 2025, according to the outlet.

James, however, didn't actually leave City Hall and is still on the payroll as the mayor's $190,000-plus-a-year senior adviser.

In total, the office spent $801,839 on meals and catering, $42,691 on floral arrangements and funeral services, and $45,646 "unreconciled" expenses between July 2022 and November 2025, according to the outlet.

An elementary school in Fresno was forced to file a police report after a child sex offender running for city council held a press conference just steps away.

Rene Campos, 41, a candidate in Fresno City Council's District 7 race, spoke Friday on a street outside St. John's Cathedral to address outrage over his past, the Fresno Bee reported.

He was about 10 feet away from Big Picture Elementary School, a public charter school, which later contacted local cops.
Rene Campos, wearing a blue suit jacket and checkered shirt, has multiple microphones clipped to his shirt as he looks slightly to the right of the camera. 5
Registered sex offender Rene Campos has stirred up more controversy by holding a news conference across from a school in Fresno.

Until 2015, under Jessica's Law, California prohibited registered sex offenders from living within 2,000ft of any school or park in the state.

The law was later declared unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court, which ruled that residency restrictions must be applied on a case-by-case basis.


It remains unclear whether Campos is subject to any specific court orders, restraining orders or individualized restrictions related to his offense, or whether his limitations fall solely under California's general sex offender registration requirements.

Campos was about 10 feet away from Big Picture Elementary School in Fresno, which later contacted local cops.

Esparza said the council is considering legislation to prevent people like Campos from seeking office. Other city leaders were also furious.

"It has come to my attention and even hit national news that we have a registered sex offender that is currently running for Fresno City Council," Councilwoman Annalisa Perea said in a statement.

Paxton finishing second did not help his case. For whatever reason, he raised little and spent little. Spent about 5 million in a huge state, raised ten, has about 5 in the bank. Cornyn has about the same in the bank but can call on a lot more from teh Senate Fund that hurts all other GOP candidates in close races like for Ossoff's seat, Collins in ME, and the North Carolina race. Under its rules, incumbents get first dibs on that money.

Talarico winning the primary instead of Crockett weakens the case for Paxton even more as the DC Senate types are thinking it will require a lot of money to be spent in the general there that would not need to be spent if Cornyn was the nominee.

Without going into the weeds of viewing the entrails of campaign data from the primary yet, finishing second and Cornyn's statewide strength, Paxton is in a weaker electability position although policy wise he is the far better choice.

I think Paxton may be tabbed for a job in the DoJ if the grand deal goes off. Several DoJ positions open as Jeffrey Clark just resigned and the administration forced out the DoJ anti trust chief too.

idk all the election odds like you do, but I've heard if an incumbent is below 50%, he is in trouble. Cornyn got 42% (primary), and Not Cornyn got 58%. Paxton seems the clear winner. Other than Thune's leverage with Trump on the "I'll give you the Save bill if you give me RINO (anti-Trump) Cornyn.

Lot of moving parts but Cornyn is not liked as much by the base as is Paxton but Paxton has some passionate haters in the TX GOP establishment ( I think Paxton is in the right on this btw on the impeachment bullshit, etc.) but he is having trouble raising funds while Cornyn isn't.

A runoff where Paxton and Cornyn go and blow a bunch of money until May 26th means that other Senate GOP priorities cannot be funded. And then for the General, Paxton will require more funding than Cornyn to beat Talarico. If Paxton had finished above Cornyn in the runoff, his argument would have been you want the front leader to step aside? but being second, harder to make that argument. Last, we don't know who Hunt may endorse.

The old rule is polling below 50 is a problem but that is normally for a two party race, not a three. Three or more in an election very often result in the incumbent squeezing by or a Dem squeezing in like in the Palin Begich Peltota race in AK House seat in 2022.

113 I think Paxton may be tabbed for a job in the DoJ if the grand deal goes off. Several DoJ positions open as Jeffrey Clark just resigned and the administration forced out the DoJ anti trust chief too. Either position might allow a promotion to AG or DAG after the November elections when a shakeup in Cabinet usually happens.

124 And fwiw, I find Paxton to be a better policy candidate, reserved about his political chops in a highly contested race, and someone who got screwed by the Bushie Texas GOPe establishment with the ridiculous impeachment.

That being said, his campaign did not get it done in the primary to win a plurality, will suck a lot of needed resources to limp into the win for the runoff, need a big injection of money to win the general, and apparently his failure to control his penis has soured some that otherwise would have voted for him.

Someone with one scandal (even if the impeachment failed, some still believe the bullshit) has it harder than someone else. Two scandals, the impeachment and the failure to control himself hurts a GOP candidate at the polls. GOP voters are not Dem voters. It even hurts Trump to some degree and he is the exception to the rule of scandals.

125 Cornyn, actually DC and the Bush's were spending over a million $dollars a day to overcome Hunt. They will spend more to defeat Paxton.
I think Paxton laid back on the spending in the primary knowing there would be a runoff, therefore, not taxing his base's reserves.

There are many ignorant people in TX who believe the lying TV ads. Pax needs a lot of money to overcome that.

That sucks. I never understood how a conservative state like Montana (birthplace to my entire family except me) frequently elected Dem Governors and Senators (maybe rigged elections like we now have in Arizona)?

Daines was first elected to the Senate in 2014, becoming the first Republican to win a U.S. Senate seat in Montana in the 21st century. He was reelected in 2020, defeating the Democratic nominee, incumbent governor Steve Bullock. In 2023, Daines became chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, succeeding Rick Scott.

#Nicaragua’s Attorney General’s Office has reportedly confiscated BHMB Mining, a U.S.-Canadian company with an ~$80 million investment, and reportedly handed it over to a "Chinese businessman." Beyond corruption, it's the direct seizure of Americans' property. The report details how the plant was occupied and transferred by the Nicaraguan state. This should surprise no one doing business in that nation.

This escalates an already tense situation for American companies and U.S. expats operating or living in Nicaragua. In the context of new Treasury sanctions and growing Congressional scrutiny of the gold sector, this will not go unnoticed by the Trump administration. @WHAAsstSecty @USTreasury

When a generally lawless socialist regime crosses the line and seizes American investment, consequences tend to follow. I'll be writing this up soon on Poblete Dispatches. #Nicaragua #PropertyRights #Sanctions #RuleOfLaw #expropriation

"Thousands" Of US-Aligned Iraqi Kurds Stage Ground Invasion of Iran

This morning I watched a military YouTuber, "Cappy," who said that the US and Israel were using million-dollar missiles to take out small outposts and police stations in western Iran. Such a use of pricey ordnance on such dinky targets would not make sense... unless the missiles were being used to clear a path for a force of ground invasion troops.

Which turns out to have been the plan.

Update: Commenters point out that multiple Kurdish sources are denying these reports.

Fat Democrat pussy Chuck Todd wondered why the CIA had let reporters know they were preparing a Kurdish force for an invasion.

Apparently he thinks you can arm, train, and lead 5,000 foreign soldiers and not a one of them will tell anyone.

In any event, this heads-up came hours before the actual invasion.

I'm glad there will be some ground threat. Protesters have been staying inside, as Trump advised them to. But they've been staging protests inside their apartments and houses, dancing and singing. And Regime thugs have been firing machine-guns into their homes.

That's why you need ground forces. These thugs think they can act with impunity, because our air forces are hitting missile carriers and buildings, not thugs on the street.

Some Kurds might warn them that there will be consequences for regime gun-men.

And we need to deploy a lot of anti-personnel drones, too.

BREAKING: The U.S. asked Israel to eliminate the IRGC commander who plotted the assassination attempt against President Trump.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed he was shot dead, indicating the killing was carried out on the ground--not by an airstrike.

According to Tucker Carlson, the two assassination plots were Fake News fabricated by Israel. Fake Jews, I guess. And now Israel "eliminates" the "Plotter" who didn't exist in the first place! So nefarious!

I'm happy about this:

I visited Lebanon on a junket arranged by Lee Smith. Most of the country is peaceful and just wants to live their lives. But the Iranian-funded Shiias in the south support Hezbollah. Lebanon has flinched from taking Hezballah on in the past, not because they love Hezballah forcing them into wars every two years, but because Hezballah will attack the rest of the country, too, using Iranian money and ordnance to do so.

I'm glad Lebanon now feels safe enough to tell Hezballah to GTFO.


He's peddling tobacco now, too?

I guess he just doesn't trust the Jewish "Science" on the cancer risks of tobacco. So #based!

The got roasted, and Walsh in particular looked like a dope since he had a pages of searches showing he wanted Iran whacked good and hard. Some folks thought they were grifting, but I think it was more complicated.

In both cases, they acted like their IQs dropped and they could not comprehend that there could be many reasons to do a thing, or that Punitive Expeditions are a thing again, and don't require boots on the ground to work.

But upon reflection, and seeing how things have played out, I think it was pure engagement farming. They will eventually come around, admit everyone is right, but in the meantime reap a rich harvest of hate clicks. This is what Tucker should have done. Play the Nazi card, rant against Joos, and then pretend to be all thoughtful and say "Gosh, you guys are right. Thanks!"

107 Any chance the Kurdish forces would have communications to U.S. air forces in the case of facing armor or massed ground troops?

(Or even actual U.S.-trained forward air observers?)

As we have seen, massed ground troops and armor are simply targets that have not YET been destroyed when deployed in the open desert facing the U.S. operating with air supremacy.

In college, being cool (I thought), I "smoked" cigs by bumming them off people at parties. Like Clinton, I did not inhale (I really didn't for tobacco).

I am allergic to tobacco and had sinus surgery after my freshman year of college. Once my mother suspected I had cigs and went through my purse when I was outside swimming laps. She found something else instead that I was smoking and wished it had been a cig pack.

Seriously, I don't know why they still loved me, but they did. Mostly because Daddy thought I was funny, I guess. Or I had some good qualities like not dating to add to their woes of their only daughter.

Most Kurds are Sunni.

In addition to murdering infidels, the Shia Muslims also like to murder any other group of Muslims.

Yet somehow the Sunni Kurds seem to be a different tribe than the other Sunni Muslims. So perhaps less expansionist?

AFAIK there has been 1,400 years of constant war since the rise of Islam.

It did, the PKK (Turkey) was deeply communist and funded by the Soviets, which is why the Turks shot them on sight like they were Provos.
However, USSR funding seems to have dried up, so the Turks still shoot them on sight.

Nicotine also helps with attention, I used to study on it, and it helped with comprehension and retention. Granted at the time it was Camels, but they worked.
They also helped me sleep, and when I got the GF who disliked smoking, I would see her on weekends and go cold turkey, and I had bad insomnia until my body figured out "weekends mean not smoking"

But. I quit smoking cigarettes in August of 2011. Have nkt smoked a real one since. I had tried to quit cold turkey before and it was brutal (5.5 years once.) After 2011 i vaped or did lozenges or the nicotine pouches.

Around the end of July last year, I decided to try quitting the nicotine. It was surprisingly easy.

Take that with a grain of salt, but there is more addictive in a standard cigarette than just the nicotine, I believe.

....


I don't think it's any great secret that the Kurds, ISIS and al-Qaeda are all recipients of US tax-dollars and used to commit political violence to create instability against regimes the United States considers unacceptable.

I didn't say anything that isn't common knowledge.

Hell, Trump had a guy that was previously on a terrorist list with a big bounty on his head over to shake his hand at the White House.

America does the same thing with Islamic extremists that Iran does with Hezbollah and Hamas.

Hell, even Israel funds Hamas to create instability.

All I'm saying is the "funds terrorists" line as some sort of moral justification is disingenuous. We have a long history of our CIA and military funding terrorists groups. Half the time they wind up killing American troops when we finish using them.

267 More info,
A protester was forcibly removed from a US Senate hearing on Wednesday after interrupting proceedings during an Armed Services subcommittee session. The incident involved Senator Tim Sheehy, a Republican from Montana, who was seen assisting US Capitol Police as they escorted the man from the chamber.

CBS News correspondent Alan He identified the protester as Brian McGinnis, describing him in a post on social media as a Green Party candidate running for Senate in North Carolina. He said McGinnis appeared to be wearing a US Marine Corps dress uniform.

Video of the incident shows McGinnis shouting as officers attempt to remove him from the room. At one point, he can be heard yelling: "No one wants to fight for Israel!" as he holds on to the hearing room door.

Posted by: JROD


One of the early treatments for displacement of joints, especially legs, hips and back, was to use a cigar up the anus, which would reduce the tension and swelling from the rapidly absorbed nicotine. It was one of those things the French developed in the Army during the Napoleonic period.

However, I know you are probably not interested in that, and are most likely only engaging in blue-nosed signaling against a vice you have been taught is wrong. You would get along wonderfully with my wife.

275 Guy has been out for a long time, more info on Mr. McGinnis.

Did my one enlistment as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman, an infantry MOS in the Corps, until June 2004.

Highlights:

-Six months on a Med Float on the USS Wasp in 2002, established a training ground in Djibouti, Africa.
-Deployed for the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 and traveled extensively across the country.
-Made the All-Marine boxing team later in 2003 until the end of enlistment, tried out the year prior, but broke my hand in the tryouts.

Upon my honorable discharge from the USMC, I attended John Wood Community College in Quincy, IL and earned an associate’s degree in education from 2004 to 2006.

I asked them aren't those for your butt? He said yes and I said no way! I'm not sticking anything up my butt. As I was being helped back out to my mothers vehicle and wasn't looking the doctor gave my mom the suppositories and told her, "here, he's going to want these". When my mom dropped me off at home she gave me the suppositories. A few violent sessions of dry heaving I bit the bullet and up my rear a suppository went. I have never in my life felt such a wave of relief. I ate everything in my house. Didn't release the suppositories were nausea medicine.

Schmoll: Republicans Pull Dead Even with Democrats in Congressional Midterm Race, 50/50

Mediaite:

A stunning new survey conducted by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS), the Harris Poll, and HarrisX suggests that the GOP has drawn even with the Democrats with eight months to go until the midterm elections.

The poll of 1,999 registered voters, which was conducted online between February 25 and 26, found that 50% of Americans would vote for the Republican candidate in their congressional district and 50% would vote for the Democratic one if the midterms were held today. That marked an enormous improvement for the GOP, which trailed the Democrats 54%-46% on the same question last month.

Trump's job approval also ticked up by 3%:

For his part, Trump's net approval rating ticked upward from -6 last month (45%-51%) to -3, (46%-49%).

In more Schmolling news: Reports of a "MAGA split" over Iran have been greatly exaggerated.

The "split" involves the MAGA Grifters, a small but very loud group of rebranded American Bund Nazis who seem to be omnipresent because none of them have jobs and they post anti-Jewish propaganda all day online, and normie conservatives with jobs and families.

The normie conservatives are at least four times as numerous as the American Bund Nazis.

The RealClearPolitics Average showed that overall support for Operation Epic Fury, the joint military campaign undertaken by the United States and Israel over the weekend, had the president underwater a bit with 39% approving of the action and 52% disapproving.

A breakdown of some of the individual polls showed that Republicans were united on the issue, with no one poll showing more than 18% opposing military action in Iran. The vast majority of the disapproval came from Democrats -- who were also fairly united -- and, to a lesser extent, independents.

A CBS/YouGov poll taken between March 2 and March 3, for example, showed that just 10% of Democrats approved of military action in Iran and 90% disapproved. Among independents, 63% opposed the action and 37% were in favor. A majority of Republicans (85%) supported military action and just 15% did not.

A similar result came from a Washington Post poll taken on March 1, which showed Democrat opposition at 87% and support at 9%. On the Republican side, 81% approved and 12% did not -- and independents once again fell in the middle, with 59% against military action and 28% in favor of it.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey followed the same pattern, with 5% of Democrats supporting military action in Iran and 95% against it. Republicans came out largely in favor of military action, showing 82% approving and 18% disapproving. Among independents, 67% disapproved and 29% supported the action.

The apparent outlier included in the average was a poll from InsiderAdvantage taken on February 28, but it still showed similar numbers from Republicans: 79.3% in favor and 12% opposed. The numbers for Democrats shifted slightly, with 62.5% disapproving and 32.1% approving. Independents also showed much higher numbers in favor of military action, with 45.3% supporting and 40.3% opposing.

I'm definitely not saying that if you've made the unwise choice to join the ranks of the anti-intervention absolutists and Ron Paul acolytes, then you're a Nazi.

But I am saying that the Nazis are all lining up to denounce this particular military action, because the only issue that revs their engine is Israel. And they're not neutral in this war; like the left that they so closely resemble (because they're racialist lefties), they're not anti-war, they're just on the other side. They want Iran to finish that nuclear missile and drop it on the Jewish capital.

They say about the left: It doesn't matter what issue you're talking about, for a leftist, the issue is always and only about The Revolution. Every issue is just an excuse to propagandize for The Revolution.

Gay? You need communism. Trans? Communism will fix you. Black? Have you ever heard of communism?

And so it is with the pseudoright Nazis: No matter what issue is being discussed, the only issue they're interested in is, as they call it, the "JQ," the "Jewish Question," which is a euphemism. They say "JQ" because it sounds better than what the question actually is, which is the same question Hitler asked: What are we going to do with all of these unwanted Jews infiltrating our society and subverting us?

And no, I'm not going to hold back any longer. I held back for ten fucking years. I am done playing nice with the Nazis. The Nazis used to employ a small level of Plausible Deniability, so that it felt rude to accuse of them of being Nazis.

But, like the leftwing they resemble in so many ways, they aren't even bothering to hide it any longer, so I'm not going to bother being polite about it.

======

It's a slow burn thriller out of step where the slasher genre went.

It's heavily influenced by Hitchcock, building tension over the length of the film, rather than being splashy like the Friday the 13th movies pushed the genre.

Friday the 13th was largely influenced by Mario Bava's Bay of Blood. Halloween was influenced by lower key Hitchcock. They're diametrically oppositional. But, Friday the 13th actually ended up influencing everything to such a degree (and released its sequel so fast) that Halloween II really had no choice but to fall in line and become more facially gruesome.

All of these mutants came out of the woodwork to support Trump in 2015, because, as I said in the tweet i embedded, they saw Trump as disruptive force who *could*, if he wanted, help the US understand "the Jewish Question."

They actually thought they were helping Trump by pushing Nazi propaganda and boosting Trump. When in fact, that turned a lot -- a LOT -- of people off of Trump. I remember myself being stunned and sickened to find myself in that company, wondering "have I gone way off the rails, here?"

You know, we don't need the priciest, most advanced, highest-precision missiles for all targets. You need those for *some* targets. Once you wipe out the air defenses you can just start dropping gravity bombs with fairly inexpensive guidance systems.

111 Not a Bundist, but I do have these questions: Is there a plan beyond the bombing campaign? Is there a replacement puppet we can install? There are no Iranian moderates. We know that because Kerry and Obama insisted that is with whom they were dealing in the original Iran nuclear deal, and they were mercilessly ridiculed for even suggesting moderates exist. So, there has to be either a Shah or Generalissimo to put in power, or this will have been a giant waste.
Rubio stated we had to strike because we were going to face retaliation after Israel struck first. That is forfeiting your decision to go to war to an ally. If a Democrat said he started a major bombing campaign, a full-on war in all but name, under that scenario he would be ripped to shreds. In fact, I remember we had a bombing campaign in Libya under the same sort of scenario. France and Germany were going to attack without us, so we joined to be leading from behind. The result was Libya became a failed state infested with terror cells. I hope this time there is a plan.

Nope you just keep on wallowing in your resentment of "rich people" with projections that Trump doesn't care about "the little people", and would probably rape your daughters.

It's a fair question. I am not getting any Zionist checks (I could use the $7k right now) so I'll give my unsolicited answer:

The plan, worst-case, is to cripple the Islamic Republic's ability to project force, and to let the local Shi'ites know that exporting all this terrorist crap overseas will result in nasty results at home. All the other cases are better. Maybe they get an Islamic Republic led by someone sane, like ayatollah Seistani in Iraq was. Maybe they get a westernized Republic. Maybe they just get a Shah.
Presently, I don't see any point in allowing a terrorist group to own a span of territory, much less territory that covers Persia which in many ways was the first Western empire.

They tend to be worth it. Like the anti-radar missiles that lock in on enemy missile batteries' radar signals and blow them up. I'm sure the missile is pricey, but it destroys the batteries that can blow up your planes or even your aircraft carrier. (The latter is a big worry of mine, that one missile is going to get through and hit a carrier and really reduce support for the war, and Trump.)

The super bunker busters blew up the Iranian nuke facilities and are now being used to blow up the deep caves where they store their drones and ballistic missiles. Again, think about how many billions in losses those bombs and missiles avoid.

236 i saw that the F-22s carry this very advanced Anti-Aircraft missile that zooms upward into the air and then comes hurtling down on the enemy from above at like mach 4. And neither the plane nor missile radar lock on the target, so the target doesn't know he's even in danger. Until like twenty seconds before impact, when the missile switches on its own radar and gets a terminal lock.

Anyway, very expensive missiles like that take out the enemy's offensive capabilities and save you billions and billions in damage.

242 They tend to be worth it. Like the anti-radar missiles that lock in on enemy missile batteries' radar signals and blow them up. I'm sure the missile is pricey, but it destroys the batteries that can blow up your planes or even your aircraft carrier. (The latter is a big worry of mine, that one missile is going to get through and hit a carrier and really reduce support for the war, and Trump.)

The super bunker busters blew up the Iranian nuke facilities and are now being used to blow up the deep caves where they store their drones and ballistic missiles. Again, think about how many billions in losses those bombs and missiles avoid.

256 Here's the truth about the MAGA Grifters: They saw Trump as a disruptive force who could remake politics. They thought he was stupid and easy to manipulate. They believed they could pressure him to disrupt politics in a way that THEY, not Trump, favored.


Well, that was stupid of them. I think 2015, someone (Heartiste?) analyzed photos of Donald Trump standing around a table with Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson, and determined that Trump is a Super-Alpha. If you can't even command the room's respect walking into a local pub, you're not going to get a Super-Alpha to bend to your will.

To elaborate, since status is fractal, alphas' status competition is perpetual, as they have to renegotiate their position every time the composition of the group changes. (That's why bravos exist -- alpha goods without alpha ambition -- because just thinking about it is exhausting to any normal person.) And you can tell a lot from body language. To my surprise, Redford was diffident, Beatty tried to hold on but it was an act that dropped, and Nicholson came closest naturally but was ultimately out-alpha'd. There is, most likely, no one else with Trump's force of personality.

You should feel better soon. BUFFs are in theater and dropping a lot of plain dumb bombs along with probably some JDAMs that are pretty cheap too. These only operate in the most permissive air environments and that means that Iran's air defenses are kaput. A single B52 can drop about 70,000 lbs of dumb bombs and plastering drone and missile magazine entries is probably what they are going to do.

We also have some older tech laser designated bombs that are jam proof from the regular jammers today and they simply require a laser designator on targets. We first used those in Vietnam and in Gulf War I in quantity.

Upgraded versions exist today that are pretty cheap compared with expensive standoff weapons designed for all sorts of EM jamming.

Late, Nash is being confronted, again, with the fact that he's inventing things in his head. Jennifer Connelly is in a doorway of their house, asking him about it. The little girl he's been hallucinating runs past her in the background.

How does Howard film it?

Competently. He makes sure the girl is center frame as she runs past to make sure the audience doesn't miss it.

However, it's the wrong choice. The camera should be centered on Connelly as the girl passes in the bottom frame of the shot behind her. It would be more effective that way.

The current twaddle is Dem reliance on a girl's testimony that was so damaged by drugs that she lied that Trump raped her at 13 and raped other kids that he buried around on his golf courses and he was palling around with Epstein in the early 80's.

None of her stories checked out, she is represented by Ms. Bloom who is Gloria Alred's daughter and her claims against the Epstein estate were denied by a federal judge due to the girl's impossible tall tales that contradict known facts like the time that Trump golf courses were built occurred years later than when she claimed girls were buried there.

"At about 9:40 a.m., dozens of Israeli munitions fired from F-15 jet fighters, including Blue Sparrow missiles, began hitting their targets. The missiles were launched from a distance: Sparrows exit the earth’s atmosphere before crashing down. Their high trajectory surprised people in the Iranian leadership compound in Tehran, people briefed on the operation said."

While no single formal joint statement was issued directly by both Kurdish and Baloch groups, contemporary reports and analyses describe these unifications as aligned in purpose—preparing for coordinated resistance or potential offensives against the Iranian regime amid its weakening, with some viewing them as part of a broader strategy by external powers (e.g., the U.S. and Israel) to exploit ethnic divisions for regime change or Balkanization. Public calls for cross-ethnic unity (e.g., between Kurds, Baloch, Persians, and others) against the regime appeared in social media and statements around this time, including from Arab Ahwazi groups urging Kurds and Baloch to collaborate.

They tend to be worth it.




Word. In Vietnam, the Thanh Hoa Bridge withstood hundreds of sorties from US bombers with dumb bombs, over 7 years of trying to knock the damned thing down. Not to mention at least 20-30 planes being shot down while trying to take it out.

Once the US deployed laser-guided bombs, it only took one mission in '72 with a handful of aircraft to heavily damage the bridge so that it was unusable. About 4 more missions totally destroyed it, without losing any aircraft.

Precision air weapons are individually expensive, but on the battlefield, they're cheap when you consider their effectiveness.

They want Iran to finish that nuclear missile and drop it on the Jewish capital."

Absolutely. They're different from the norms. They crave that 15 minutes, want to be cosmopolitan, European, exotic, and in-the-game. They've had little to really fear in life. Spoiled, believe that they've actually learned something of use from US schools on their level the last many years; that war (or even a good ass kicking) will never touch them; that they'll be saved by civil society &/or half-assed politicians who've already opened Pandora's box and are too fucking stupid to get themselves out, but in their own places they'll offer up "the others," especially the Jews, who will fight back.

And hopefully we have an array of other small drones to attack enemy drones attacking us in masses. Trump seems to be the first president to not be in service to the MIC, as he demanded the cheap but effective drones.

it was all the planes. And all the tanks the allied side used in the latter part of the war pretty much.

Only the Russians could do similar things because they had invited a tank designer to help them before the war who ended up teaching them mass production too.

=====
I think Bannon and his little universe of mini mes got holed below the water lines. When you communicate and propose ways to fix someone's public image and use those comms with people like Wolff to try to remove Trump in term 1, that is not undercover, that is collusion with an evil man. All was pretty much known at that time to about him as Epstein was arrested shortly after.

Bannon had about 2000 comms back and forth with Epstein, Reid Hoffman only had about 1700. Says something especially when you look at the contents--hardly any of it dealt with any documentary. There is a reason he is outside looking in at this current administration.

Doubt it. Most people don't care and see Congress critters as interchangeable. Activists will care but Trump is not running for reelection.

I still don't see Bannon as the bad guy. He and Navarro are the two that went to prison, and Navarro is still great on economic matters imo. Bannon was instrumental to Trump winning in 2016 afaik.

Just why Bannon was in touch with Epstein, idk. Bannon was with Goldman Sachs for some time, not sure where his money comes from. When I listened to him he seemed very MAGA, and his "War Room Posse" was big on making phone calls to their congressmen on important issues. I don't see him as at all anit-Israel, but I have not listened to him lately.

Any friction between Bannon and Trump may be like that between Trump and Coulter ... who also was major in helping Trump win in 2016. Then Trump turned on his helpers and brought in back-stabbers. Coulter loves what Trump is doing now (not sure what her stance is on Iran exactly).

"Big Tish" James, AG and Celebrated Mortage Fraudster, Orders NY Hospital to Resume Transitioning Children After It Quits the Grisly Business

This will result in the hospital losing federal funding.

Big Tish doesn't have any way to make up for that funding, nor did she promise that NY would set up a special fund to replace the federal funds.

She just wants the hospital to cut off children's breasts and dicks and suck up the funding shortfall. Maybe she'll give them tips on how to defraud the mortgage system to raise some cash.


New York Attorney General Letitia James ordered NYU Langone, one of the Big Apple's largest hospitals, to reinstate gender-affirming care for minors -- before ominously warning it would face "further action" if it did not comply.

In a letter sent to the health care system on Feb. 25, the Empire State's chief lawyer claimed the absence of the Transgender Youth Health Program was "jeopardizing" health care access to vulnerable New Yorkers.

"NYU Langone appears to be suddenly and indefinitely cancelling transgender children's future appointments thereby jeopardizing access to medically necessary healthcare for some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers," the letter read.
New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks at a protest against ICE in Manhattan.New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks to the crowd at a protest event in Manhattan organized by The Public Theater in response to recent actions by Federal Agents of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.C.E) in Minnesota. ZUMAPRESS.com

The medical center "permanently" axed the program in February after the Trump administration threatened to yank federal funding to the hospital if it continued providing gender-affirming care.

"Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program," a NYU Langone spokesman told The Post in February.

"We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue."

James claimed that NYU Langone's decision violated New York's anti-discrimination laws after the hospital voluntarily made the change instead of being forced by any law.

"NYU Langone's change in policy is self-imposed; there has been no change in federal law to require the cessation of medically necessary transgender healthcare," the letter added.
...


NYU Langone was one of several high-profile hospitals to pause its gender-affirming care for youth after President Trump threatened to remove federal funding from medical centers treating trans minors late last year.

After dissolving the program, NYU Langone's website changed the "Trangender Youth Health Program" to the current "Gender & Sexuality Service.


Jonathan Turley calls this an assertion of authoritarian and insurrectionary state power against the federal government.


James's move could trigger a fascinating challenge. In the Feb. 25 letter signed by the attorney general's health care bureau chief, Darsana Srinivasan, the state said that the federal regulatory change did not affect a "medical institution's existing duties and obligations under New York law." That raises an interesting conflict between state and federal regulations.

The letter gives the hospital until March 11 to comply and resume these treatments.

Effectively, James is ordering the hospital to defy the federal government. However, the hospital, not James or the state, would bear the financial and regulatory consequences.

...

The problem with a federal challenge is that nothing in the New York threat prevents the federal government from carrying out its intent to cut off funding. Hospitals would have to choose between penalties in New York or loss of funding in Washington. Nevertheless, New York's move is a direct attack on the enforcement of federal policy by state hospitals.

If states are now free to ignore federal law, then I have a long list of federal laws states should nullify.

Beginning with the Warren Court judge-made law that states are compelled to spend citizen taxpayer dollars on the care, education, and welfare of illegal alien children illegally present in the state.

But I wouldn't stop there. Not even close.

Posted by: Bulg at March 04, 2026 03:34 PM (77rzZ)

Sorta.

For the various Orthodox sects and the Conservative, it's flatly forbidden - it's destruction of flesh that is supposed to rot in the ground, according to G-d's plan. I'm Conservative, so that's my rule.

The Recronstructionists permit it explicitly, but they permit everything.

Reform Jews waffle about it - the Reconstrunctist-leaning ones say it's kinda sorta ok, but the Conservative-leaning ones say "no way." Their excuse for banning cremation is because of the holocaust, not religion, so i don't really buy it.

But then. A lot of Jewish theology is based on ancient history, so I can't say for sure if that's wrong.

But I want to be buried in front of my flowers - not my trees or vegetables, and that's that, and if G-d has a problem with it,o He can take it up with me.

140 Look I’m not very smart. But the stoopid play I’ve made here is to frame any violation in a civil rights context. That’s because I already know that hospitals can’t be forced by the state to provide procedures. Even in a corrupt place like NY tha would get laugh at. So my gambit is to say it is a civil rights violation to not provide a service. But that won’t stand up on appeal beyond the corrupt NY courts, so what I really want is a headline and the hospital to fold like the creases in my ginormous ass.

203 196 As noted, the recent 6-3 decision to stop the CA "Let us secretly castrate your children" law, not even the 3 liberals said CA had the right to do that.

They just fussed that CA should be given time to castrate as many children as possible until the appeal worked its way through the courts back to them in a few years.

Shit, in that region the question is (group 1) at war with (group 2) can always safely be answered with "yes". They may have occasional ceasefires, and occasionally some group of badasses (e.g. Romans, Turks, old-school Brits) will take over for a while, but the simmering hostility never goes away. It's been going on for thousands of years.

Tim Walz, Keith Ellison Face Congressmen on the Rampant Fraud They Encouraged and Enabled

Full hearing here. A bunch of clips are below the fold.

Tim Walz says that Trump is "terrorizing" his state and he believes that Minnesota should to be able to defraud the American taxpayer without consequence.

Here's Politico, whining:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told lawmakers Wednesday that his state has been terrorized by the Trump administration over mass welfare fraud allegations, pointing to the killing of U.S. citizens in the midst of an immigration enforcement surge around Minneapolis.

"Let me be clear: In Minnesota, if you defraud public programs, if you steal taxpayer money, we'll find you, we'll prosecute you, we'll convict you, and we'll throw you in jail," the Democrat said in his opening remarks at a hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

But, he added, "the people of Minnesota have been singled out and targeted for political retribution at an unparalleled scale, including blocking Medicaid reimbursements to our state just last week."

Walz, the 2024 nominee for vice president, is fending off accusations from congressional Republicans that he didn't do enough to prevent a scandal that has embroiled his state. Prosecutors have charged more than 90 people with defrauding the government, and two individuals connected to the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future were convicted of stealing federal nutrition funds in March.

The revelations have led the Trump administration to take drastic, punitive measures, such as prompting the Department of Health and Human Services to freeze its child care funding and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to cancel hundreds of millions in Medicaid money.

Walz, alongside Minnesota's Democratic attorney general, Keith Ellison, have been hauled to Capitol Hill to testify before the committee about the scandal -- and also to respond to an interim report committee Republicans released early Wednesday morning alleging that Walz and Ellison "knew about the fraud in federal programs administered by the State of Minnesota much earlier than they told the American people."

House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) asked why Walz did not order the stop or suspend welfare program payments, despite warnings of fraud.

"We're not going to stop payments to feed children until we have the proof that things happen," Walz said.

Comer objected: "You didn't stop payments because you didn't want to rock the boat."

In his opening statement, Ellison maintained that his office has pursued fraud convictions aggressively where it has the jurisdiction to do so.

Republicans have homed in on the welfare scandal as an opportunity to disparage the state's Democratic leadership, but it also has fueled anti-immigrant rhetoric within the GOP -- specifically against Minnesota's large Somali community. At one point, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, who is also a member of the Oversight panel, asked Walz whether he knew how many of those indicted have been Somali-American.

"We don't investigate or prosecute people based on ethnicity, religion--," Walz said, before Jordan interrupted him.

"Neither do I, we shouldn't do that," Jordan responded. "85 percent of the people indicted were Somali-American, a key voting bloc, and I think that's what drove this whole thing."

The White House quickly amplified video of the exchange on X.

The House Oversight Committee released a report revealing that Walz knew of the rampant fraud long before it was exposed -- but covered it up to keep the federal money flowing to his Somali Pirate Supporters.

Senior Minnesota government officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, were aware of claims of widespread fraud in the state's federally funded welfare programs for years, but failed to act other than to retaliate against whistleblowers, the House Oversight Committee concluded in a report released Wednesday.

Both Walz and Ellison are scheduled to testify before the committee on Wednesday at 10:00 AM, the committee previously announced. They are likely to face questions from the committee about fraud schemes estimated to have cost taxpayers as much as $18 billion and that were first reported by Just the News in summer 2024.

Dozens of defendants, many of them Somali immigrants who settled in Minnesota, have been indicted or convicted in a sweeping federal fraud investigation.

Walz and Ellison were aware of fraud

"Testimony obtained by the Committee reveals that Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud in social service programs, lied about their knowledge of the fraud, and retaliated against employees who dared to raise concerns," Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a statement.

"Instead of protecting vulnerable Americans, they handed over billions in taxpayer dollars to fraudsters and threw their own state employees under the bus," Comer added.

...

The new video evidence allegedly showing empty daycare facilities registered to serve hundreds of children aligned with warnings from the state's legislative auditor dating back to 2018 that there were persistent signs of fraud in the program, Just the News reported.

The investigation also centered on a Minneapolis fraud ring connected to the state's Somali immigrant community that exploited the state's federally-funded food program. The Department of Justice first charged 47 people in 2021 as part of a $250 million scheme involving the nonprofit Feeding Our Future that prosecutors alleged diverted federal COVID-19 relief funds for personal gain.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, who served during the Biden administration, called it the largest pandemic-era fraud scheme ever identified.

Testimony from nine state officials

Walz, who was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2024, previously acknowledged there is fraud in his state, but said his administration has made it a priority to root out for years.

However, the Oversight Committee believes the evidence shows the opposite, that Walz and his senior officials knew about the fraud concerns from the very beginning of his tenure and ultimately failed to act to address it before facing public backlash and pressure from the federal government in recent months.

...

Though Walz originally said that he was informed about suspicious activity related to Feeding Our Future in November 2020, but he could not recall the precise date, one MDE official told the Oversight Committee that the Minnesota government had received complaints about the program as early as 2018.

MDE Assistant Commissioner Daron Korte, whose agency oversaw the money funneled to the Feeding Our Future food program from federal pandemic-era relief funds, confirmed that such complaints were received between 2018 and 2021.

He testified that Gov. Walz's office would have been informed of the concerns by April 2020 and that Attorney General Keith Ellison's office would have received a notice also.

When threatened with a lawsuit, Minnesota officials resumed funding

Once MDE found in March 2021 that Feeding Our Future was in "serious deficiency," the agency moved to cut off all funding to the organization. However, despite officials acknowledging the agency's authority to unilaterally cut funds, it resumed payments by April 30, 2021 over fears that the nonprofit would sue, Korte told congressional investigators.

"[We] could unilaterally make that decision, but we just knew, with Feeding our Future, it was going to end up in court and had the potential to be overturned," Korte testified.

Feeding Our Future's founder and executive director Aimee Bock -- who was eventually charged and convicted as part of the million dollar fraud scheme -- threatened MDE with a lawsuit in April 2021 claiming racial discrimination if funding was terminated. The nonprofit formally filed the lawsuit in November that year alleging violations of state law.

Minnesota official approved more food program sites after fraud concerns

Because of the threat of the lawsuit, MDE approved an additional four sites administered by Feeding Our Future even after fraud concerns had been raised by the agency. Korte said the agency did this because the U.S. Department of Agriculture refused to provide a justification under federal law for the state to cut off the funds.

Read the whole thing.

Tim Walz is doing his typical Blustering Homosexual Retard act, claiming simultaneously that he knows nothing about any of this but also that he knows enough that he can guarantee that everyone in his government acted perfectly.

Tim Walz can name every illegal arrested by ICE, but says he has no idea who two of his constituents murdered by illegal aliens are.

Jack
@jackunheard

3h

Tim Walz might have just landed himself in prison.

He just got exposed for RESTARTING taxpayer payments to Somali fraudsters tied to 'Feeding Our Future'

This is so damning...

Jim Jordan: "Why didn't you tell the truth about why you restarted the payments?"

WALZ: "The agency believed the court required them to make those payments."

JORDAN: "That was false. The court says the judge never ordered you to resume Feeding Our Future payments. So the court's lying?!"

WALZ: "I can't tell you!"

JORDAN: "Somebody's lying! Either you're lying or the court's lying. Which one?"

WALZ: "I just know what the attorneys said."

JORDAN: "Are you hiding behind the court? Is this about politics?!"

Insane @Jim_Jordan

This is just an unwarranted insult except it's totally warranted.

In my working life I worked around large liquid nitrogen (LN2) dewars. These stood around 5' tall and maybe 36 inches in diameter. Every one had a little pressure relief valve to allow gas from the warming LN2 to escape. There are some pretty sobering videos of what happens when you tamper with the pressure relief that allows the expanding gas to escape. (BOOM!)

Elections are like that little pressure relief valve. I think it's extremely dangerous that in some instances D's apparently have found a way rig elections in their favor. Kind of like welding that pressure valve shut.

Sort of. I remember a debate about recycling in one town I lived in.

After someone pointed out that pretty much all recycling gets thrown out anyway, some underworked and over privileged Karen stepped up to the mic to announce that of course we all have time to sort and wash our trash for the earth and that got cheers from the other Karens in attendance.

So Karens and their ilk get a rush from this sort of virtue signaling, sort of like modern flagellants. This is also why they loved wearing masking and bleaching their mail.

Note not long after the measure passed some HS kids put a tracker in the recycling, and traced it to...the town dump.

212 Elections are like that little pressure relief valve. I think it's extremely dangerous that in some instances D's apparently have found a way rig elections in their favor. Kind of like welding that pressure valve shut.

Indeed - the point of elections is to replace combat to determine who leads and what policies we follow. The argument is the majority would probably win on the battlefield, so it is simpler to let them win an election without all the destruction and death.

But stealing elections then says to the majority that they will no longer get their way unless they in fact resort to violence...

Income taxes are like any other tax allowed by the Constitution for Congress to levy.

Congress can tax or it can remove the taxes as it pleases. The 16th Amendment does not mandate Congress pass income taxes, it simply allows them to do so.

To remove the income tax forever means repealing the 16th Amendment via another amendment. Like repealing the 17th, not very likely.

That doesn't mean a future Dem admin couldn't go after anyone that took advantage of Trump's offer though.

Of course this would be interesting politics because everyone that refused then to pay taxes would be HIGHLY incentivized to make sure no Dem ever wins the presidency again...

238 Wanted to add: I read 10yrs worth of lab/radiology results as a RN case manager in the ED, ICU's and all over the med center. So I generally know my stuff for results and am glad to get them quickly. Because the fear of the unknown and a wait of weeks is much worse for me.

However, until the doc talks to you there are often misconceptions. I've only had this myself once a few months ago...but I quickly saw it was not a huge deal with some research.

On the other hand, a few years ago my husband's calcium scores were high (he's on lipitor and this is what it's supposed to do: calcify the wet crap in your arteries,which is more stable). We felt ok, not great, but ok that he had no symptoms and was a past elite runner with a resting heart rate of 45.

The first cardiologist wanted a cath intervention with the scores,and I waited til we were out of the office to say, no, we are getting another opinon at the university.

There they had him combine a cardiac sono with stress test, proving his arteries were clear. The PA said all is well and sees him once a year...no cardiac cath. Thanks be to God.

Always get a second opinion if possible. Always.

266 These days the real problem is that virtually all companies have a huge admin/HR wing that does nothing but provide jobs for Karens and scolds with the right politics. The actual workers might be able to cover their costs, or not.

DEI is facing a lot more legal challenges nowadays and AI is likely to eat a big chunk of HR Karens out of a job. A lot of job applications at megacorp now are AI aided submissions by applicants submitting to AI HR servers to weed out applicants.

H1B is getting a serious brake check as well as both petitions and lottery positions are declining along with escalating 100k fee for new applications and possibly renewals if their employee status changes. Average salary got bumped way up too.

267 264 The Federal government has every right to claw as much of that fraud money back with various ways to do it. Some of those ways is to deny Minnesota of federal funds other states are receiving. Minnesota will have to go without. Other states that are caught doing what Minnesota has done will be in the same boat. Anyone caught defrauding the federal government can and should be thrown in prison.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shakir Khan Sentenced Following Denial of Motion to Withdraw Plea

On March 2, 2026, the Honorable Judge Northup sentenced Shakir Khan, who pled no contest to criminal counts that include election fraud and money laundering, underscoring the San Joaquin County District Attorney's firm commitment to safeguarding election integrity and holding accountable those who attempt to undermine our democratic process.

Khan was sentenced to three years under AB 109, to be served in county jail, with one year suspended and served on mandatory supervision. In addition, the court imposed an eight-year state prison term that is stayed, contingent upon Khan's successful completion of mandatory supervision. If Khan violates the terms of his supervision, the stayed prison term may be imposed.

San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas said, "Today's sentence shows the seriousness with which we take efforts to tamper with the electoral process in San Joaquin County. Accountability includes honoring the plea and fulfilling the terms of supervision. If Mr. Khan fails to comply, the full consequences of his sentence will be enforced."

The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office remains committed to enforcing the rule of law and ensuring that all defendants adhere to their court-ordered obligations.

Which is why ultimately a return to paper ballots, paper registration precinct books, etc. need to be brought back and ballots counted with election judge signoffs at the precinct before going to a central counting facility. Absentee ballots received get counted before the election day.

It does not stop cheating but it makes the logistics for massive cheats much harder to pull off.

The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

98 I don't know, I kind of like the system our county has, where they have to scan your government-issued picture ID into the system, and then they hand you your paper ballot.

Means that somebody has to have stolen your ID to vote under your name.
Posted by: FeatherBlade

You can do that but the registration, signature, etc. needs to be on paper, not electronic. Anything electronic can be altered with no trace. Paper, not so much--you either have to vanish it by shredding etc. but that raises immediate red flags, or you have to clumsily alter paper documents like precinct sign in sheets. Makes it much more difficult and requires a dispersed fraud op versus a centralized one. And makes it harder to do their ballot drops of anonymous ballots onto central counting stations by creating a voter id, erasing a voter id, after the ballots are counted. Plenty of evidence that is the case now. PA in 2020 200k more votes than registered voters for example or Fulton County with 120 percent turnout of registered voters which shows the same thing. Anonymous fake ballots inserted that have no voter attached to them.

Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!!

Prosecutors in San Joaquin County accused Khan and his two brothers, Zakir Khan and Mohammed Khan, of running illegal internet gambling hubs at two of his business.

So a councilman and smoke shop owner, who - allegedly intimidated residents — all of whom were members of the city’s Pakistani community — into voting for him.

But he also had 22 charges related to false claims filed with the California Employment Development Department regarding COVID-19 reimbursements, and more from illegal gambling operation and money laundering.

County jail, allowed to work for restitution and to support family. A further 8-year state prison sentence stayed but t may be imposed if Khan violates supervision.

My guess is about 20-25 percent fraud in mail in ballot states either via paid harvesters getting blank ballots from real people and filling them out for real people (often paid with gift cards) or pristine ballots filled out for fake, dead, and moved, voter registrants. The later and later counting dates certainly are mostly fraudulent and fake ballots at that time simply because the Dems know how many ballots they need to win and keep counting until they get them.

Scotus ruling that ballots have to be received by election day would be a big deterrent to that sort of cheating.

Mebbe. Sometimes presidents can get too clever by half in endorsement games. FWIW, Cornyn and Mitch were friends when Cornyn was in the leadership (had Thune's position previously) and Mitch's staffers are probably looking to jump ship to a new guy too. His staffers are running the office and Mitch today gave strong endorsement to Trump's Iran strikes on the floor of the Senate.

I heard a rhythmic clatter coming from the junior dev's desk.

He was typing. Fast.

Too fast.

I approached and asked why he was attacking the keyboard with such ferocity.
He said he was "in the zone" and pushing a hotfix.
I told him that audible intensity creates a hostile acoustic environment for those of us trying to ideate.
He stopped and asked if he should type slower.
I said speed is fine, but the impact felt personal.
It sounded like he was angry at the computer.
I logged "aggressive peripheral interface" in his soft skills assessment.
Then I replaced his mechanical keyboard with a rubber membrane one from 2004.

Stephen Colbert's Election Interference Stunt/Hoax Works as the Democrat Establishment Fights Dirty to Block a Proud Black Woman from Attaining Higher Office

The Free Beacon's top Anti-Racism Reporter, Andrew Stiles, reports on the disgusting White Supremacy Plot to deny the Democrat senate nomination to the feisty, capable, Proud Black Woman Jasmine Ratchet (whom he erroneously calls Jasmine "Crockett," for some reason).

Mess in Texas: Billionaire-Backed Talarico Shrugs Off Racism Scandal To Steal Senate Nod From Jasmine Crockett

The media and Democratic elites got what they wanted: an unemployed black woman.

Andrew Stiles
March 4, 2026


James Talarico pulled off what is sure to be a controversial upset on Tuesday, defeating Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary. It was a contest marred by bitter infighting. Talarico faced credible accusations of racism, but still prevailed thanks to a billionaire-funded, establishment-approved, and media-facilitated push to brand Crockett as "unelectable." Many considered that code for black and proud.

Journalists and other Democratic elites fawned over Talarico, a state lawmaker with the looks and demeanor of a fifth-grade boy giving an oral report for extra credit. They adored his "aw shucks, why can't we all just get along?" routine. In glowing profile after glowing profile, they marveled at his Christianity-themed rhetoric. (He once declared that "God is non-binary" while arguing that men should be allowed to compete in women's sports.) Former president Barack Obama called him a "terrific, talented young man." He was Beto O'Rourke 2.0--a new and improved version of the liberal darling who could "finally turn Texas blue" by appealing to normal Americans.

Meanwhile, a billionaire-funded super PAC linked to Talarico--who repeatedly assailed the influence of billionaire-funded super PACs--relentlessly attacked Crockett on the airwaves. The Lone Star Rising PAC, started by a longtime friend of Talarico just days before the candidate launched his Senate campaign, spent millions on negative ads against Crockett over the past few weeks. LinkedIn founder and Jeffrey Epstein pal Reid Hoffman was among the billionaires who bankrolled the super PAC, along with hedge fund titans Stephen Mandel and Mark Heising. The group also received millions via the same "dark money" networks Talarico had promised to ban via "anti-corruption" legislation.

Eyepatch John McCain also lost, but that wasn't due to racism. That was due to Able-ism. We were able to kick his ass to the curb, so we did.

The Fake and Gay "News" Media continues insisting that it was Trump who blocked Talarico from appearing on Fake and Gay "Comedian" Stephen Colbert's show, thus boosting his cache.

In fact, it was Stephen Colbert who blocked Talarico from appearing on his show. CBS told Colbert that he couldn't just have the Fake Christian Closeted Homosexual Talarico on his show, he would also have to schedule an interview with his Proud Black Woman opponent.

Colbert said: "Not on my honor as a South Carolina gentleman shall I ever play host to a such a poorly-behaved Negress." Then he challenged a dusky foreign Mixed-Blood to a duel.

But now that Colbert got his wish and defeated the unelectably-black woman, let's see what he's won.

How electable is this swish?


Update: Talarico: "I believe our southern border should be a giant Welcome Mat." No that's real.

33 On how many fewer folks vote in the run off elections vs the primary, I went and grabbed the 2022 results Paxton had for AG...

In the primary, he got 823K votes of the 1.927M cast. In the run off, he got 633K out of 931K.

This is like special election turnout. TX doesn't show for the run offs anymore than anyone else does for special elections. So, in a run off, it's a different ball game for who can win b/c you'll have half as many voters as the primary, probably at best. And those voters will be older, whiter, and more female...b/c women vote more than men.

White guys only gain prominence in the Democrat party because they get ignored by larger media, are deeply corrupt, or are parodies of men at this point.

But I prefer Crockett to Talarico, and not because she's easier to beat. It's because *anyone* can win an election, anywhere in this country, by hook or crook, and she's just a run of the mill grifter, whereas he is a demon. Not just possessed by a demon, but the real deal.

I'm no Texan, and I don't understand their schizophrenic politics. It's basically a foreign country to me.

But I prefer Crockett to Talarico, and not because she's easier to beat. It's because *anyone* can win an election, anywhere in this country, by hook or crook, and she's just a run of the mill grifter, whereas he is a demon. Not just possessed by a demon, but the real deal.

The state has a very large contingent of corporate Republicans who started in politics as Democrats in the 80s. From voters to politicians.

My read is that that contingent is slowly dying out, and most of the imports from other states are more interested in offending Democrats than playing nice with them.

81 I learned a lot from Scott Adams, who was definitely a subject matter expert in persuasion and branding.

One thing is you don't go trying to brand yourself as a "low IQ individual" because it will work.

When Trump did the garbage thing he didn't dress up as garbage or complain that they called his people garbage. He got in a garbage truck and drove it. That flipped the script entirely because it showed the namecallers for the uppity people they were and he didn't have to say a word.

You can't just put yourself in a commercial and keep repeating that you're a low IQ individual - or that's what you will be. Even if you are trying to imply that it's "racist". Dumbass. Then again only a low IQ individual would think it was a good idea.

But sure, a twink who says that "God is non-binary" and "the southern border should be a welcome mat" and "trans-kids are beautiful" is going to turn out the Hispanic Democrat vote. Also, he lost black voters 92-8 in his primary, and that surely won't be a factor at all.

Popular former governor. Popular because the GOP legislature overrode his veto, but still.

So, his name recognition is sky high and people don't automatically hate him.

However, I do think he's the actual underdog. Senate races drive turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them, making the races reflect PVI more than anything else.

And the GOP has a 100,000 active voter lead so far.

He'll be the Larry Hogan of 2026.

Governors races are much more defined by local issues than partisanship. Statewide, non-federal races are just materially seen differently by enough voters to make a difference.

But once we hit federal races, base partisanship wins out. It's a pattern we can see repeatedly over the last couple of decades, and it's just gotten more pronounced.

Will Cooper lose? I think it's 60-40 he does.

Key Backers and Funding Sources -
Texas Sands PAC (Miriam Adelson): Despite Talarico's anti-billionaire platform, his largest financial supporter in 2024 was the Texas Sands PAC, funded by Republican casino magnate Miriam Adelson. He received $59,000 from this group.

Lone Star Rising: A super PAC that has spent nearly $930,000 on pro-Talarico media buys and direct mail, with backing from donors including:
Simone Coxe (Austin philanthropist)
Susan Sarofim (Houston billionaire)
Mark Jacobsen (IntraFi CEO)
Pete McCarthy (Houston restaurateur)
Don Henley (Musician)

Progressive Organizations: The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) endorsed Talarico, citing his economic populist message.

There seems to be very little damage to the ship, not what I would expect if we had control over the area. Damage is consistent with a Hellfire from a loitering platform not a gun or an aircraft launched air to ship.

Why no second pass?

The ship seems to have gotten away for now.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt

Yesterday, I came across charts and the whole trans id issue is vanishing among the yutes. It was social hysteria. Gender ID of weird subtypes dropped by nearly 1/3rd last year from IIRC 22-23 percent to around 16 percent. My guess is further drops are going to occur. Don't discount either the Trump war on DEI and higher ed.

Some of those kids, like the recent reveal of disabilities claimed at Stanford, are because they thought they might get rewarded for their brave stance of gender fluid on admissions.

I think the whole troon op is withering from the harsh light of reality and the lessening pressure for weird identities to get jobs and admission to schools. Wine moms are going to be the hardest hit.

I have already been calling him "Screwtape". His lies are so transparent to anyone who is familiar with the Word of God.

His lies about the Spirit asking Mary's permission to be the mother of God has no Scriptural support - he makes that part up.

His lies about God being non-binary is he incorrectly claims that the Hebrew word for Spirit in Genesis 1, is feminine. (it isn't, its gender is Common and it is used in with a conjunction in the passage he cites) He feels that a language gendered noun means that what it identifies is of a particular biological sex.

If you are a Christians and it isn't obvious, you need to horsewhip your spiritual leader for gross incompetence and dereliction as a shepherd.

Voter registration advantage is his, but Cooper has name recognition. Whatley should bridge that gap.

Also, Democrats seem to be ignoring it, but that may just be because Cooper ran (effectively) unopposed in the primary.

290 249 I think Cornyn wins the nomination. I think Paxton is a better conservative, and more MAGA, but he does carry tons of baggage. I tend not to care about what people do in their private lives, but if someone will repeatedly cheat on their wives (or husbands), it means they will "cheat" on me in heartbeat.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at March

I think personally that Cornyn hit his high water mark here. We are seeing the result of him spending 70 million bucks versus 4.1 million by Paxton but money does not buy love. Cornyn already has pissed off gunowners (Red Flag and that monstrous bill, past support for illegal amnesty, and other douchebaggery over the years.) Statistically, 1/3 runoff races has the person coming in second in the primary actually win the runoff. And 42 percent for a multi term incumbent spending that kind of money is pretty lousy. Figure a tossup 50/50 right now and it will depend on Paxton's actions more than Cornyn.

Posted by: pookysgirl, keeping tabs on things at March 04, 2026 12:33 PM

Not only that, but this time he got more votes than Gonzales in the primary. Given how close he came in the '24 runoff, this bodes well.

________

Comedy has always been about being outrageous -- even if for the sake of being outrageous -- and the envelope was always pushed. The Lenny Bruce skits that got him arrested in the 1960s would be PG-13 today.

I think what happened more recently is comedians ran out of material, stopped being funny, and tried to make up for it by being disgustingly vulgar. Female comics in particular -- especially the reasonably attractive ones -- discovered they could get famous by talking endlessly about sucking dick, eating pussy, butt stuff, etc.

So guess what we got? A lot of female comics talking endlessly about sucking dick, eating pussy, butt stuff, etc.

317 NC voter registration records? Time for a headline blast from the past!

Headline (Courhouse News Service 09/08/2025)

"North Carolina agrees to turn over voter records in settlement"

Excerpt:

"U.S. District Judge Richard Myers II signed the parties’ joint agreement, which requires the state to produce several reports detailing compliance with federal voting laws, obtain missing voter information, and turn over the state’s voter records to the federal government “upon request.”

The agreement aims “to ensure that the remedy complies fully with federal law, minimizes any inconvenience to voters, and ensures that each affected voter’s ballot will be counted for federal offices if the voter is otherwise eligible to vote under North Carolina law,” the parties said in their request for the order.

The federal government sued North Carolina and its elections board in May, alleging violations of the Help America Vote Act by failing to properly rectify errors in voter registration records. The elections board used a registration form that failed to clearly require a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Those details are needed to confirm eligibili

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade

But you neglect Cornyn's baggage which is his past votes and positions. The guy is a walking talking example of a Mitch McConnell republican and runoff electorates almost always are more partisan activists walk over broken glass than the more normie primary voters. From past research, figure about 20-30 percent dropoff in turnout, maybe as high as 50 percent. Turnout drops the longer the runoff is from the primary and Texas has a long almost two month period from primary to runoff. May 26th is the date.

I think Paxton wins narrowly depending on how he campaigns in the next 7 weeks or so.

I think infidelity would become fairly uncommon, but I wonder if government would change much.

On the one hand, it might make a government that took vows more seriously.

But it might be the same people or worse than today anyway, because the people I'm looking at today don't have any vow they won't break, and there's no crime beneath them.

With Friends Like These

It is no secret to anyone who has been paying even a modicum of attention over the past fifty years that the primary purpose of international organizations is to interfere with and obstruct any action taken by the United States that could arguably be in its own interest. If the US acts as if its own interest is irrelevant - or even better, acts against its own interests - then the much-vaunted "international community" is usually indifferent or even sometimes supportive - so long as a check is involved. The moment the US has the audacity to act in its own interests, however, the wailing and gnashing of teeth can be heard the world over.

Putative ally or declared enemy, the behavior is fairly consistent. There is a reason Trump and Rubio withdrew the US from dozens of international organizations earlier this year. It was a long time coming. For far too long, the "international community" has taken for granted its right to bite the hand that feeds it and then complain if a check doesn't come. So it goes with international organizations, and this sadly does not extend merely to the irrelevant ones.

With the recent actions against Iran, our allies in Europe are demonstrating yet again that this same attitude extends to military affairs. Even before the recent action, cracks have been forming in the postwar order of European military alliances. The UK's moves involving the strategically-important Diego Garcia are just the most recent source of pre-Iran tension. With the strikes on Iran, however, the existing tensions and conflicts within the NATO alliance are becoming more apparent.

Arguably the most important NATO allies of France, Germany and the United Kingdom have not followed some of their fellow allies in flatly refusing any involvement, but they are also making it clear that they are not interested. All three issued a joint statement that:

We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran's capability to fire missiles and drones at their source. We have agreed to work together with the US and allies in the region on this matter.
There are plenty of constraints in that statement, but it as at least not outright refusal. Outside of the official statements, these same countries are publicly furious. The French foreign minister, for example:
Referring to Israel and the United States' initial assault on Iran on Saturday, he said their "unilateral strikes" could have gained the legitimacy needed only by going before the U.N. Security Council.
So they say they'll aid with defense, but simultaneously call the action "illegitimate." Germany's foreign minister, despite the joint statement, has asserted that Germany will not get involved militarily.

None have gone so far as Turkey or Spain. Turkey - a NATO member - is firmly opposed to the strikes in their entirety, with Erdogan saying

In his strongest opposition ⁠yet to the attacks, Erdogan said they were a "clear violation of ​international law".
"As their neighbour and brother, we share the pain of the ​Iranian people," he said at a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner in Ankara, and added that the U.S.-Iran dispute had grown into war after provocations from Israel.
Hardly the talk of an ally. But it could be worse. It could be Spain. Spain has gone so far as to forbid the United States to use its joint bases in Spain for anything to do with action against Iran. Spain's foreign minister has asserted that any US use of those joint bases is subordinate to the UN or "international support:"
"I want to be very clear and very plain," he told Telecinco. "The bases are not being used -- nor will they be used -- for anything that is not in the agreement [with the US], nor for anything that isn't covered by the UN charter."

The defence minister, Margarita Robles, was similarly emphatic, saying neither of the bases had been used in the US military operation. "There is a deal with the US over these bases, but our understanding of the deal is that operations have to comply with international legal frameworks and that there has to be international support for them," she told reporters.

These are not the words or actions of an ally, which is almost certainly why Trump has ordered Bessent to begin trade retaliation.

Unenthusiastic allies are one thing, but allies that publicly denounce US actions and refuse any possibility of participation, or that obstruct military operations from joint bases are entirely another. I don't know what needs to happen with NATO, but it will not surprise me if significant changes follow the resolution - one way or another - of the ongoing action against Iran.

There is in fact very clear "international support" for the USA-Israel actions in Iran: pretty much the entire middle east, including the big ones that matter (Saudi).

The only countries that don't support the war are those with interests in Iran -- which is pretty much all of Europe and China.

36 I don't think we'll get a NATO-less Europe anytime soon.

But the increased pressure of needing to meet commitments along with increased social net costs that are in competition with each other is going to instigate a lot of change.

Europe seems to be at a point where the old order is doing everything it can to keep the order in place, but they simply don't have the money or support to do it. So, they try importing more third worlders to keep them in power.

But, it honestly may not be enough.

The breaking of the post-WWII paradigm, led by Trump but helped by others in Europe like Orban, is not getting undone. The native populations are generally unhappy. The establishments have all shown their asses.

Hell, Spain's socialist government lost a bunch of regional races right after giving 500,000 illegals voting rights.

If natives start voting as a block against the interests of 6-8% of the Muslim populations, well...

I asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about Nancy Pelosi saying in 2011 that President Obama didn't need Congressional approval to bomb Libya, but Dems now say President Trump needs approval to bomb Iran?

Jeffries said Iran is "very different" & told me "I don't even understand the genesis or basis of that question...not suggesting you're asking it in bad faith."

When I pointed out that the Libya bombing campaign went on for 7 months, (and also included a no-fly zone), Jeffries said he wasn’t in Congress at the time and that the Trump admin "isn't even pretending to have intelligence at this point" to justify the strikes in Iran.

Erdogan, like any other despot, has created a problem. The longer he stays in place, the more all the various ills of society get blamed on him. He has been running Turkey for over 25 years now either as prime minister or President and pretty much shat on the secular Turks. But Erdogan's support, just like the Iranian mullahs, came from the poorer and more rural Turks and inflation is hurting them a lot. Current is 31.53 percent per year.

From where I'm sitting (comfy chair, living room, Indiana).... It looks to me like Islam is waning throughout the middle east. It seems to be rising in Europe. Thought exercise... Are the colonizers invading European countries because their barbaric version of Islam is becoming very unpopular in Islamic countries? Islam is a tyrannical political system dressed up as a religious cult. Perhaps more people in the middle east are realizing this and rejecting it. perhaps that is why the Crown Prince of SA is moderating and modernizing SA. That man isn't stupid and he has the numbers of people making the haj to see what's happening.
People the world over want a peaceful life, A happy life, A comfortable life. The goat fucking savages want everyone miserable for their jihad and delusions of world dominance.

You seen the online thing about the REAL reason Israel attacked Iran?

Because 2 weeks before, some people in Iran had burned a statue of Baal.

It's really the only reason Israel would have to attack Iran. Iran torched the statue to a satanic figure, and Israel wouldn't let that stand!

Open your eyes, sheeple!

113 That creepy assplug crushed Jazmine Rachet in the TX primary. I was assured by many here that Rachet would easily win. I say this not as a "told you so" but to highlight what I think are changing political dynamics. There seems to be many people -- including on this blog -- that don't seem to get it yet.

The Reign of the Stronk Empowered Minority Wimmins seems to be over. I think even normal black and brown people are sick of these DEI retards foisted on them by commie scumbags.

I've long said that Rachet, AOC, and to a lesser extent Kamala are pure media creations, without any real constituents or support.

Jazmine getting crushed in the primary strongly supports this. I have long said that AOC would also lose a primary against a decent opponent.

Erdogan, like any other despot, has created a problem. The longer he stays in place, the more all the various ills of society get blamed on him. He has been running Turkey for over 25 years now either as prime minister or President and pretty much shat on the secular Turks. But Erdogan's support, just like the Iranian mullahs, came from the poorer and more rural Turks and inflation is hurting them a lot. Current is 31.53 percent per year.


It's also a cultural thing. The backwaters like Cappadocia vote for him because they're culturally and religiously conservative, but they're also economically moribund. The youthful energy is on the coast, e.g. Damascus. Those areas are growing rapidly in terms of population and economically, and they HATE Erdogan.

128 Wonder what Curtis Lemay would say about this?

The “media” sure targeted him for the politics of the day. He was a remarkable individual.

He had to work within the constraints of the time. Led from the front - in Boeing B-17 bombers over “flak cities” in some of the most dangerous (and ineffective, frankly) bombing missions. The 8th had about a 35% loss rate - either KIA, wounded, or POW.

Imperial Japan was never going to surrender, tenacity is an admirable trait but they would have fought with sticks and stones to the last. He did not like dropping bombs on civilians, and said so, but this was calculated solely to end the war with the minimum possible loss to Americans. That’s all anyone wanted to do. End the war, by any means necessary.

Somewhere along the way we lost those kinds of leaders in favor of politicians and bean counters and perfumed bureaucrats

But not, say, a squadron or two of Chinese-made/Russian-flown stealth attack jets that might be enough to break Ukraine's lines and force an end to the war. Beijing supplies Russia with just enough material to keep the war going, which, in my estimation, is Beijing's way of reducing Moscow from trading partner to vassal.

Something to keep in mind. The whole introduction of International law was based upon a US ordered post WWII world. We made international law, and then the Euro-weenies took it to illogical extremes and we said, yeah, bruh, until we change the definition again you worthless weak-kneed twits.

Heard this morning that more people voted in the D than the R -- although some speculation is that a significant number of Rs voted for Crockett preferring her as the opponent in the general.

Also, that Cornyn and allies spent nearly $80 million -- making it the most expensive primary campaign ever.

189 Of more importance:

With more than 90% of the vote counted, Cornyn had 42%, Paxton received 41% and Hunt had 13.5%, according to the Associated Press as of Wednesday morning. The GOP race now heads to a showdown on May 26 to decide the party’s nominee. Trump hasn’t endorsed anyone in the race so far but could face pressure to do so.

I'm assuming most of Hunt's votes will go to Paxton, but that's based on very little other than hope.

The runoff will trend towards Cornyn because the electorate of the runoff will be older and more establishmenty and more regular voter.

220 From CBS News, Feb 12 story,

As pathways to freedom have narrowed in immigration courts across the United States, a record number of detainees are giving up their cases and voluntarily leaving the country.

Last year, 28% of completed immigration removal cases among those in detention ended in voluntary departure, a higher share than in any year prior, a CBS News analysis of decades of court records found.

That figure only appears to be climbing as the Trump administration's immigration crackdown widens and detention populations swell. The percentage of voluntary departures among those detained grew nearly every month of 2025, reaching 38% in December. The analysis does not include those who were not given a hearing before an immigration judge, such as immigrants in expedited removal proceedings.

"It's set up for every individual who is detained to get to the point where they're just emotionally drained and exhausted through it all of the way that we're being treated, to just say, 'OK, all I want is my freedom,'" said Vilma Palacios, who agreed to return to Honduras in late December after being detained for six months in Basile, Louisiana.

Depends and would require a very close look at data. Paxton spent very little on the race compared to Cornyn and usually it is the more ideologically committed that show up in runoffs.

Turnout is key and if Paxton wants to win, he is going to have to turn out his voters in a runoff which means spending money. Cornyn has the NRSC resources to waste but is a flaccid uninspiring candidate. So we shall see.

The counterfactuals around the 2026 TX Senate race are going to drive a lot of animosity in the Democrat party.

When Talarico loses by 15, with lowered black turnout, the black caucus is going to be all, "We would have won with Crockett. You need us more than we need you."

So the fact that you were wrong about the TX primary -- I'm pretty sure you said Rachet would win in a walk -- somehow bolsters support for you being right about Kamala in 2028?

I personally think both your predictions for TX primary and 2028 are based on outdated dynamics like I talked about above. I was right about TX. It remains to be seen what happens in 2028. I continue to believe if the Dums had a quality white guy -- a very big "if" -- he would beat Kamala.

I doubt they will in big numbers for obvious reasons. But I don't think a guy who claims God is gender fluid and is all in on trans rights is going to be a big hit in Texas with anyone save for the lunatic fringe.

CBS NEWS GOTTA CBS NEWS: CBS boss ‘OUTRAGED’ by clip showing Texas TV reporter being told not to cover jubilant Iranian protests after Trump had Ayatollah killed.

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss is ‘fuming’ over a viral video that appears to show a CBS Austin reporter being instructed to downplay coverage of a pro-Israel-US protest then occurring behind him, it is claimed.

Weiss, 41, saw the footage and wants a network-wide crackdown as a result, a well-placed source told the Daily Mail.


Perhaps there is hope for them. Probably not.

I believe I said that she was winning the early vote in a walk, that she was "stomping Talarico" there. Which she did everywhere but Austin which went very heavy for Talarico. Without the Austin win at that scale, which was very unusual, she would have gotten closer.

And yes, the black vote is still a block, still voting on skin color (or adjacency, like Biden), and shows no signs of stopping. Also, they voted for Crockett at the same level as they voted for Obama in the 2008 pres primary, a primary that Obama lost in TX.

Which he then went on to win the whole thing because the black vote isn't quite large enough to dominate TX Democrat politics, but is large enough throughout the rest of the South.

I think the reasoning goes that these advanced, moderate white people, once freed, will throw off Islamism and join the 21st century.

But this ignores the elephant in the room: their large Muslim populations. Modern systems can't suffer Islamic influences this powerful. It has to be kept out or it always prevail, and that horse has already flown into the barns of these countries.

A ballistic missile fired from Iran was shot down by NATO air and missile defenses in the eastern Mediterranean while heading toward Turkish airspace, Turkey’s defense ministry said on Wednesday.

The missile had flown over Iraq and Syria, according to a ministry statement posted on social media. It did not say what the missile’s target was believed to be. Remnants of the ordnance that shot it down fell in Turkey’s south-central province of Hatay, near the border with Syria, injuring no one, the statement said.

293 Hundreds of University of California faculty members are urging the system’s governing board to crack down on what they describe as the “misuse of UC authority” for organized political activism, warning that failing to enforce existing policies could fuel allegations of antisemitism and jeopardize federal research funding.

The letter, sent Thursday to the University of California Board of Regents, comes as the university system faces multiple federal investigations into alleged antisemitism on its campuses, including Title VI civil rights complaints tied to the Israel-Hamas war and campus protests.

Faculty who signed the letter called on university leaders to draw a clear boundary between individual faculty members’ free speech rights and the use of university branding, resources and official platforms to promote political advocacy. They argue that when faculty members appear to speak with institutional backing, it risks exposing the university to legal and financial consequences.

317 Kamala got absolutely crushed in the 2020 primary when she was on her own. If she had any constituency in the Democrap party, would would have seen it then. Democrap voters preferred herpes over her. She's probably less popular now.

Biden didn't have a consituency until he became Obama's VP. He was just a dumb senator from a state that probably didn't exist because, seriously?, Delaware?

It's amazing what being VP does to one's ability to form a constituency.

Also, if black face was enough, Deval Patrick would have won 2020. His campaign lasted 3 months.

Not defined as such. The difference is that a special election is a one shot, one race; runoffs in states that have them, consolidate all primary runoffs local, state, federal, into one election for multiple offices.

Turnout is generally higher in statewide runoffs than special elections because the number of races are larger thus drawing more turnout.

As the first real test, major fundraisers suddenly have a hard choice to make.

There's the guy who won SC by 30 points (Biden), or the wannabe press creation who won 5% (Beto). Do you keep putting money behind Beto in that instance?

Coalescing starts at that point.

And since SC's elections are fairly clean, it is this massive impediment to the DNC being able to manipulate things.

Court cases--Paxton among all the other GOP AGs has been aggressive in leveraging lawsuits to get more conservative outcomes from courts. Latest is that Vanguard settled with Texas over ESG lawsuit and agreed to basically rat on State Street and Blackrock with evidence of ESG collusion.

For whatever the reason, Paxton is not going to be an amnesty nor a red flag/gun grabber accomplice and do the reach around the aisle crap that Cornyn did. Cornyn is a Mitch McConnell senator and that should tell you something.

Depends. It is actually the more ideological voters that tend to turn out in runoffs and special elections rather than the average voter. Paxton spent little on his run so far (4.1 million) and has money in the bank to activate voters for a runoff (probably assumed a runoff all along is my guess) while Cornyn blew through over 70 million bucks to get his votes.

That indicates to me that Paxton's voters are committed, Cornyn had to buy his casual voters through adverts.

A small stocky guy in a club continuously bumped into my lady friends and I on the dance floor, purposefully. My bartender friends saw what was going on, and the bouncers helped him leave. The ladies and I decided some time later to head home, and as we were walking towards their car, a car slowly follows us, then stops right behind us...It's small stocky guy and two bigger guys. I stalled while the ladies went to their car, and of course got jumped. Suffice to say, we all took lumps, I took a slash to the left hairline (thin scar there to this day) and the Germans watching me bash one guy's head into the bars of their embassy fence got a great show. It broke up when Guardia Civil came around the corner and the girls backed their car up shouting at me to get in...It was right around Christmas of 1993, and I have a picture of me with a shiner and the cut. I remember my left jaw being sore from a punch that caught me on the right side... Long story...great times.

Siberian tigers are the largest tigers, and the one in the painting is small for a regular tiger. Imma guess the painter knows nothing about tigers.

76 Modern wild Siberian (Amur) tiger males typically weigh between 389 and 475 pounds (176–215 kg) on average, while females are smaller, ranging from 220 to 370 pounds (99–166 kg). While historically larger, modern wild males generally average around 389 lbs, with some studies indicating a range of 352-418 lbs for males.

I don't know what political consultants need to hear this, but there are a lot of flyover working class people who'd happily vote for a wildly flamboyant small government swish over a hairy backwoods he-man commie

I think that is MOSTLY true. Milo, for example, before he went totally crazy, had a pretty enthusiastic following from younger MAGA voters. I do wonder, though, how much support older, and very Christian, conservative voters would have for a very flamboyant gay candidate, even if his policies were 100% aligned with theirs. Election margins are close. As much as Dems bitch publicly, they'd fall in line quickly behind a rugged, masculine white commie.

Voters appreciate genuineness. It's why Trump can be the working class hero despite having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's genuinely himself as he says things that the people want to hear.

148 This is an effective painting. The artist really captured the feel of the moment. Look at the poses of the figures: attack of the tiger, desperate but determined defense of the man and the terror of the horse, especially shown in the horse's eyes. It is difficult not letting the scene's motion continue in your mind. The colors bring out the figures and the mood. The sky is dark and stormy, the brilliant color of the tiger, the white horse and the man's red shirt make them stand out against the darker background, focussing the attention of the viewer. The image is so strong I can hear it as well: the screaming of the horse in panic, the snarl of the tiger and the yells and grunts of the man swinging the hatchet.

This makes me think of the action scenes painted by NC Wyeth. It has the same qualities of motion and visual appeal.

165 I think that is MOSTLY true. Milo, for example, before he went totally crazy, had a pretty enthusiastic following from younger MAGA voters. I do wonder, though, how much support older, and very Christian, conservative voters would have for a very flamboyant gay candidate, even if his policies were 100% aligned with theirs. Election margins are close. As much as Dems bitch publicly, they'd fall in line quickly behind a rugged, masculine white commie.

166 All Corrupt Media puff-pieces on Approved Politicians and Others use photos showing them in deep thought, looking somewhat upward at something in the middle or far distance. Photos of women in that cadre have them in expensive jewelry and designer clothing, with at least one photo depicting them grinning, looking carefree and extremely happy.

You forgot the special hypnotist hand gestures - they all have these Executive Gestures, or holding a pen is popular, or pinching the air.

I knew the JEF was the Annointed One courtesy of the DNC, because they started right out with especially slick photos.

Plus, he's deeply, genuinely respectful of the average blue-collar man-on-the-street, because of his inherent decency, and the fact that he worked with those blue-collar construction workers every day of his adult life. Which taught him that they're just as smart as the average rich person, often smarter.

On the other hand, you had fake assholes like Mittens Romney, who was also born with a silver spoon up his ass. A guy who sneered at the average blue-collar guy because if they were smart, they'd have gone to Harvard or some other, lesser Ivy League school.

254 The Iranian frigate Dena that was torpedoed off Sri Lanka was one of Iran's most modern, and therefore lethal warships. If it made any attempt to return to the Gulf region, it would have been sunk anyway.

IMO an opportunity presented itself to the USN. A Navy fast attack sub, probably already in the region to provide an underwater layer of defense for the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group was dispatched to take care of the Iranian warship. Low risk. Probably.

A fair amount of data was likely collected to be analyzed later and used to refine operations and weapons deployment. It also sent a message to Russia and China.

306 The reason Iranian protesters are burning mosques, is not blind hatred, we are not Palestinians.

It has a concrete, practical reason, and there is a very important lesson in it for you in the West.

‼️ These mosques are not places of worships, they serve as operation bases for the regime's militias in residential neighborhoods.

Mosques house armories for the Basij militias. They function as headquarters for repression and temporary detention centers for protesters.

Protesters burn these structures as a strategic step to weaken the regime's local oppression forces.

Here is where you in the west must pay attention: In iran, for decades, mosques served as recruitment and indoctrination centers for the regime.
The regime uses them to radicalize vulnerable people and transform them into hate filled killing machine against their own society. Decades of this preparation are now producing results.

The same pattern is currently building in Western cities through mosques and community centers. These efforts are tied to groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Palestine networks.

Critics who point out this process are quickly accused of "Islamophobia".

Which, I mean...he's not going to. The entire leadership of this operation is saying so. Plus, we have Trump's history of foreign interventions that say it's not going to happen either.

It means that as long as there is any evidence to support the lower court's ruling, they have to defer to it. As opposed to de novo review, which means the lower court's ruling carries no weight at all on appeal.

"An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters," Hegseth said. "Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two. Like in that war, back when we were still the War Department. We are fighting to win."

The Morning Report — 3/4/26

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good morning kids. Obviously, the continued military strikes on Iran are in the lead, and yet while that's happening there is more action to report elsewhere in the world.


On Tuesday, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced that U.S. and Ecuadorian military forces launched joint operations against “Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” saying the narco-terrorist group had “long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.”

This announcement marks a significant shift from training missions to active engagement. SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan praised the “unwavering commitment” and “courage” of the Ecuadorian armed forces, characterizing the collaboration as a decisive strike against the “scourge of narco-terrorism” that has destabilized the hemisphere through violence and systemic corruption.

Regardless of our large-scale military operations over Iran, despite this operation being much smaller in scale and limited in scope, it is good to know that the US military can still engage in multiple operations simultaneously and on different fronts many thousands of miles apart. Of course the Ecuadoran mission is in keeping with and follows close on the heels of our removal of the Chavez/Maduro regime in Venezuela and the disruption/destruction of its narco-trafficiking operations, as well as a warning to the world to stay the hell away from the Western Hemisphere and perhaps as a warning shot to the still extant Cuban Communist junta that they might be the next domino to fall, so to speak.

At the risk of causing whiplash, we shift back to the Middle East/Near East/South Asian region where we have a definite pass-the-popcorn situation brewing there.

There have been other intra-Muslim fights: the war of West Pakistan on East Pakistan in 1971, with East Pakistan successfully resisting the West Pakistani troops who engaged in genocide as they murdered 3,000,000 Bengalis; the continuing war in Yemen between the Shia Houthis, backed by Iran, and the Sunnis of the National Government, backed by Saudi Arabia, that so far have resulted in 377,000 deaths; the current war in Libya between the rival forces based in Tripoli and Tobruk; the war, now subsided, between Morocco and Algeria over control of the Western Sahara; the genocidal war in Sudan between Muslim Arabs and black, mostly Muslim, Africans, leading to the breakup of Sudan into two states — Sudan and South Sudan; the war unleashed on Kuwait by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who briefly annexed it as the “19th province of Iraq”; the war of Arabs against Kurds in Operation Al-Anfal, in Iraq, and now, we can add another war, still small but likely to grow bigger, between Pakistan and Afghanistan. . . Tit-for-tat attacks — Pakistani planes striking the Taliban in Afghanistan, Afghani Taliban setting off bombs inside Pakistan — have been going on for months. Now they seem to becoming more frequent, and more deadly. Pakistan has just announced that in a cross-border strike it killed 80 people in an attack on Taliban outposts in Afghanistan. And the Taliban have announced that they will soon launch an “appropriate response.” Don’t be alarmed. Just pull up a chair, and root for both sides.

Yeah, pass the popcorn! Guess we can thank Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and his wizards of smart when they auto-penned our ass out of Afghanistan in a lickety-split bug-out that no one either understood or gave a shit about the consequences other than a political gambit to bolster electoral advantage by taking credit for bringing the boys home.

Yes, leaving, and abandoning the insane delusion of nation-building is always desirable, but doing so in such a way that does not create an even worse situation had we not gone in in the first place. The issue of our being in Afghanistan in the first place is something else entirely. But be that as it may, let's head back to Iran where a potential power vacuum is a distinct possibility now that we have essentially wiped out any successors to Khameini, not that another Mullah or an IRGC commander would have been desirable or acceptable.

It will be and must be solely up to the Persian people to install leaders that will respect their rights and freedoms and also not pose a threat to the rest of the world. Can that happen and will that happen are still very big question marks. As the last vestiges of the regime lash out at their nighbors as well as Israel, they're not gaining friends or influencing people, other than negatively.

Friend and friend of the blog Robert Zimmerman's latest essay focuses mostly on the insane reaction by the Democrat/Left to President Trump's decapitation strike on the Iranian Mullahocracy, mostly in their support for the mullahs (especially their hatred of us and Israel/Jews), but as he gazes into the crystal ball, he seems to have a very rosy outlook:

I would not be surprised if Saudi Arabia soon signs the Abraham Accords. Nor would I be surprised if most of the last remaining Arab nations that have not yet done so join Saudi Arabia. We could very well be seeing a major realignment of alliances in the Middle East that could really really harbinger the beginnings of real peace in that region. Imagine: Israel at peace with all its neighbors, because the Arabs have finally recognized that it is to their own best interest to do so as well.

Even with a defanged Iran that morphs into a nation with a government that perhaps resembles something akin to the Emirates, I will have to disagree with my friend insofar as the one thing that overshadows all of this is ISLAM. My personal view is that unless and until the Islamic world, from governments down to individual Muslims renounce the teachings in the Koran that call for the death of Jews, Christians and infidels or their subjugation into the global Islamic Ummah/caliphate, then all of these accords are just not worth the paper they're written on. All of it to me is merely part and parcel of the concept of Taqqiya so that Shiites and Sunnis can gain an advantage over each other for control of Islam and then ultimately gain control of the infidels on the way to global conquest for all time.

Sign all the treaties you want, but the notion that the Arab Muslim world will live in peace with Israel let alone recognize its right to even exist is a pipe dream. That said, even a cold peace as exists with Egypt and Jordan is the best that can be hoped for, and even then, those two nations with their borders on two massive "palestinian" abcesses (Gaza and the West Bank) have done less than zero to legitimately normalize their relations with Israel in all these years of so-called "peace." And have actively worked against the accords they signed.


All that aside, prior to Jimmy Carter stabbing the Shah and Iranian people in the back by paving the way for the Mullahs, Iran and Israel did have close strategic and diplomatic ties. Can that be resuscitated come the final downfall of the Mullahs and please God the installation of a sane government, we'll have to wait and see. Considering Israel vaporized a meeting with many of the leading candidates to be he next leader, The IRGC awaits Al Franken's '77 Buick Le Sabre to deliver a load of ballots!

The New York Times headlined its page one announcement of this Navy report on Sunday, December 7, 1941

“NAVY IS SUPERIOR TO ANY, SAYS KNOX.”

The United States Navy, now in the midst of a record expansion program and recently placed on a war footing with full personnel manning the ships of three fleets, has at this time no superior in the world. . . . On any comparable basis, the United States Navy is second to none

24 I'm doing some research in advance of buying my first e-bike and I am stunned at the sheer number of e-bike manufacturers and models out there. There seems to be no end to the number of brands. It's overwhelming. I had no idea.

Any e-bikers among the Horde? I could use some advice.

I'm looking for a regular bike style, not a 3-wheeler, with fat tires but not the super fat mountain off-road ones, for use primarily on roads and paved trails, but there will be some unpaved trails involved, and some up and downhills (foothills of The Rockies here, that's inevitable!)

Also needs to be able to haul reasonable loads up to around 45 lbs such as groceries, on a rear rack. My price range 1k - 2.5k. Prefer a weight of 50 lbs or less.

Lectric and Aventon brands seem to stand out from the insanely large pack. I need help, there are so very many options out there!

Well, most of the boys, and girls, except for the ones murdered during the pullout. But we got a couple hundred, at least, jihadis to replace them. Thanks Joe.

Sri Lanka denies submarine attack reports: Sri Lankan authorities denied that 101 people were missing after the distress call was triggered by a submarine attack on the Iranian ship, as initially reported by Reuters citing sources in the Lankan navy and defence ministry. The Navy spokesperson rejected reports of a submarine attack, while the exact cause of the incident was not immediately known. Both Sri Lanka's navy and the air force said they were not releasing footage of the rescue because it involved the military of another state, reported Singapore-based news portal CNA.

Knowing what submarines use to attack surface ships, I have my doubts that this was an attack by a US submarine, at least.

This exodus, including a high turnover at the NIH and NSF, followed the return of the Trump administration, with reports of a 11-to-1 departure-to-hire ratio and 75% of surveyed researchers considering leaving. The vast majority chose Europe as their destination.

I wonder why? 🤔 ‘Climate change is a hoax, inject disinfectant against COVID and nobody knows where the sun is going by the night and how magnets work‘.

The situation is going to get a whole lot worse before it can get better. There has been reports that countries such as India, China, and others have been actively promoting the acceptance of graduate level scholars across multiple disciplines.

This is how great countries collapse. When the smart people move out you are cooked. This is why America dominated for so long they all immigrated here. It’s only a matter of time. The dumbing down of America will have economic consequences. Thanks for the brain drain, Trump!

137 “DHS should request a signed judicial warrant to ensure this violent criminal is deported,” a spokesperson for Spanberger’s office told Minock.
---
Which section or subsection of the Immigration Code requires a judicial warrant?
Answer: None

No judge is required--IDK if they are even authorized--to sign an arrest warrant for deportation.

There is a standing, general warrant, by statute, without any judicial preview needed, that authorizes ICE to arrest any person who is here illegally.
No need for a second, redundant warrant.

This is a lie the Republicans need to push back harder on.

150 KIMT News 3 reports that the lawsuit, filed in Polk County District Court, accuses General Motors of violating the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act through what the state characterizes as deceptive business practices related to consumer data collection and sales.

According to the legal complaint, General Motors began installing tracking systems in its vehicles in 2015 that monitored various aspects of driver behavior and vehicle operation. The systems reportedly collected information including vehicle speed, seatbelt usage, driving habits, and location data. This information was subsequently sold to third-party data brokers and insurance companies, potentially affecting insurance coverage and premium rates for Iowa residents without their knowledge or explicit permission.

========================
This issue would be a huge political winner for the GOP in the midterms. I would vote for whomever promised to end this, or make auto companies, phone companies etc get explicit permission before collecting and selling surveillance data to date brokers.

153 > We'll probably never know if/when all of Iran's submarines are destroyed.

-------------
IIRC Iran had one Kilo class diesel-electric submarine and a smaller number of "narco" like semi-submersible boats. The Kilo was probably the most capable, assuming it even had a crew trained for it.

It was sunk at it's pier on day one or two.

The submarine threat in the Arabian Sea, where the Lincoln Strike Group is operating is minimal. In the Eastern Med, where the Ford Carrier Strike Group is operating is actually more of a threat area for subs.

But not Iranian submarines. The Iranian Navy, with the exception of their IRGC fast boats, has ceased to exist.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at March 04, 2026 08:10 AM (jtM2q)

154 Iran claims to have 25 submarines, but the great majority of these are mini-submarines with a crew of 7. They carry two torpedos and a couple of anti surface ship missiles. Dangerous but very limited, I doubt they can go into deep water.

196 SCIENTISTS LEAVE THE U.S. Over 10,000 doctoral-level experts in STEM and health fields left U.S. federal positions in the past year, with a net loss of over 4,200 Ph.D.s across 14 agencies.

Like Doctor Jill Biden?

These "scientists" are likely foreigners on H1-Bs or those will allegiances to another country, that is why they can and feel perfectly comfortable leaving.

That assumes that anything mentioned in the Reddit is even close to being true. Do these SCIENTISTS™ have ankle trackers on so that we know that they left the country? How does that registry work?

Why do we want foreigners on taxpayer payroll "earning" lavish lifetime pensions and delivering DEI levels of PhD "scholarship"?

If they left the gig, apparently the Administration deemed their "work" nonessential if not counter-productive and yeeted them during DOGE.

My assessment, if the keel was broken: None of the hole snipes made it out. Likewise those in berthing areas. Topside in the bridge area and fore and aft may have some shaken survivors.

If the INMARSAT has a battery, they can transmit a SOS. Likewise if a boat makes it into the water intact, which looks like it did not happen.

Talarico ran on not being a black woman and that Republicans wanted Crockett to win the primary (true).

He is an odious man and I cannot imagine him winning the general. Take a look at his policy positions - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Talarico - "gender affirming care" alone should bury him.

Open, in that you don't have to pre-declare a party to vote in that party's primary. Folks who voted in the Dem primary, however, are not allowed to vote in the Republican runoff. I don't know if people who voted in neither primary can vote in the runoff but the high Dem primary turnout limits the likelihood of shenanigans.

You show up at the voting hall and they will ask you what ballot you want, R or D - show nothing more than your DL and claim that the address is accurate.

So yes, Texas Primaries are Open with one caveat - if you voted in the D primary, and the R's have a run-off, allegedly you as a D primary voter can't participate in the R run-off.

237 Spanberger’s office suggested to WJLA’s Nick Minock that the governor will continue to oppose ICE detainers lodged against illegal aliens, even in the case of Jalloh.

“DHS should request a signed judicial warrant to ensure this violent criminal is deported,” a spokesperson for Spanberger’s office told Minock.

240 Two easy pickups thrown away. Sadly Akin and Murdoch would have been fine Senators/i]

We do have a problem here where too many voters don't actually do basic research.

The headline says something like, "GOP candidate says something extreme and crazy! Voters fear him now!" and too many people see that headline and that's it.

This the FNM effect, because Democrats say crazy stuff constantly that have no effect - like the VA AG candidate wanting to kill kids - because the FNM covers it differently.

One answer to this is "never say anything that can be taken out of context" and that's what the GOPe argues. But...that's not sustainable.

Trump has his own answer - he doesn't care and he'll double down on it. But that only really seems to work for him.

What was far more interesting was Buford's neighbors. A shop across the street advertises "halal smashburgers". Another venue proximate to Bufords literally has "Halal" in its business name. What demographic are they trying to reach?

So young Muslim males are sitting around noticing that people are having a good time getting drunk outdoors, the women are uncovered and laughing - and they can't handle this situation. And like we have been seeing in the news all over the place, Islam is cancer and it is part of its character to metastasize and take over neighborhoods and threaten businesses that don't bow to Sharia.

Old torpedoes hit the hull which would sometimes bend the firing pin. Modern torpedoes do not hit the hull.

279 It’s a bit of a stretch, but apparently a torpedo on a Russian sub cooked off in a tube and ultimately causing a fire and sank the boat.

US torpedos in WWII cost $10,000 a piece (real money in 1940 dollars) and were pretty much junk. In addition to being duds, they would also circle back and hit the sub on occasion. Naturally, of course, these examples weren’t duds.

281 I mentioned this last night; it's about those 3 F-15E multi-roll fighters that were downed by "friendly fire."

It's now thought a Kuwaiti F-18 armed with Sidewinder heat seeking missiles "mistakenly" shot them down thinking they were Iranian drones or aircraft.

A couple things about that don't add up. For one, the F-15 is significantly larger than any Iranian drone. Secondly, there are no Iranian fighters that resemble the F-15 flying in or anywhere near Kuwait.

There's little info on the Kuwaiti pilot. And a bunch of unanswered questions. The story hasn't gone dark, but it does appear to have been pushed off to the side.

You served on submarines? Cool. I should tell you about the time my crew and I 'Bear-trapped' a Soviet Delta IV. It wasn't much trapping the boomer as it passed through the sonobuoy barrier, but what happened soon after.

We had to immediately abort the mission and return to base, where we and the tapes from the sonograms were escorted into the ASWOC by armed personnel.

You can probably figure out what happened just from that.

300 World War II torpedos had a magnetic fuse in addition to more conventional triggers.

They tended to run much deeper than the depth they were set. No splodey. And now the enemy knows you’re there.

The trigger mechanism was defective as well, more often not detonating when a textbook direct 90 degree hit was achieved. Later in the war it was suggested glancing hits were more likely work with the defective torpedos.

One of the reasons the torpedos were defective, was because the Navy was cheap - “these babies are expensive!” and so it was just apparently assumed they worked fine. Huge debacle at the time.

306 My personal view is that unless and until the Islamic world, from governments down to individual Muslims renounce the teachings in the Koran that call for the death of Jews, Christians and infidels or their subjugation into the global Islamic Ummah/caliphate, then all of these accords are just not worth the paper they're written on. All of it to me is merely part and parcel of the concept of Taqqiya so that Shiites and Sunnis can gain an advantage over each other for control of Islam and then ultimately gain control of the infidels on the way to global conquest for all time.

332 I need a refresher every once in a while on the Sunni/Shia divides. AI seems to give a good overview.

So Turkey is mostly Sunni.
Kurds are maybe 75% Sunni, 15% Shia. But they follow a different "branch" (Shafi'i) of Sunni than Turkey or Arabs (Hanafi). I think it is the Shia that wait for the twelfth imam (twelvers) to arise (from the well?).

Iran is predominantly Shia Muslim, with 90–95% of its Muslim population identifying as Shia, primarily following the Twelver branch of Shia Islam, which is the official state religion.

"While Sunni Muslims make up approximately 5–10% of Iran’s population, they are a minority, mainly concentrated among ethnic groups such as Kurds, Turkmen, Arabs, Baloch, and Pashtuns in regions like Kurdistan, Sistan & Baluchistan, West Azerbaijan, and Hormozgan provinces.

Historically, Iran was predominantly Sunni until the 16th century, when the Safavid dynasty forcibly established Shia Islam as the state religion, marking a pivotal shift in Iran’s religious identity."

340 Honestly - repubs have been trying to screw Talarico and it would be hilarious if he won coz he has a legit shot at taking down whoever he’s up against

So far there’s been more votes in the Dem primary than the Republicans primary (that is hotly contested and needs a runoff)

Talarico is a straight, white, Christian pastor. In Texas, he will be largely immune to attacks from the GOP. They can't use the "woke, uppity black woman" stereotypes against him like they could with Crockett. He does not have much of a voting history for them to criticize either. And he actually practices what Jesus taught in the bible.

I’m pretty sure the republicans would rather have Crockett win. It's a lot harder to play the "black/woman/carpet bagger/communist" card if the Democratic candidate is a conventionally attractive white man from Round Rock who is a Presybyterian pastor.

She is super cringe when trying to answer anything on Gaza. She rolls her eyes like it’s a great inconvenience. Glad she lost.

If all Hunt people stay home and no Cornyn people stay home then yes. The fact that the difference was under 1000 votes though, gives hope.

354 332 So Turkey is mostly Sunni.
Kurds are maybe 75% Sunni, 15% Shia. But they follow a different "branch" (Shafi'i) of Sunni than Turkey or Arabs (Hanafi). I think it is the Shia that wait for the twelfth imam (twelvers) to arise (from the well?).

362 Finally got around to reading the "America Alone" article from yesterday. Good intro to four variations in the "Western Society" meme.

"When French president Emmanuel Macron declares that “free speech is pure bullsh*t,” he is articulating, in his own puerile way, the Rousseauian influence on the continental understanding of freedom. .... And most tragically, when Keir Starmer’s government arrests grannies for tweeting unacceptable memes, it is demonstrating Britain’s loss of faith in its intellectual traditions and its acceptance of continental influences in their stead.

To put it bluntly, on the matters to which Marco Rubio was referring in his Munich speech, historical unity between Europe and the United States is tenuous at best, while a contemporary common vision is almost entirely nonexistent.

While reconciliation with Europe is a laudable goal, it must be on America’s terms, not Europe’s. We are not the same, despite considerable common cultural characteristics. Indeed, in the race to preserve what remains of the foundational principles of “Western civilization,” America stands alone.

Posted by: BlackOrchid at March 04, 2026 09:09 AM (j+aD2)

See. I think Hunt's voters were protesting the top 2 (and knew Hunt has ZERO shot)...so they cast that type of protest vote and probably will not bother to return for a special election run off. Unless they were D voters looking to muddy the water, and then yes, they will vote for Paxton b/c he is more beatable in the general.

As of early March 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remains largely unfunded and in a partial shutdown state following a funding lapse that began February 14, 2026.

In small part, "The House previously approved a spending measure for DHS for fiscal 2026, but the bill has languished in the Senate as Democrats and the White House continue to negotiate over potential reforms at the department...."

"DHS workers have warned that they are facing strains from loans they are still repaying and other burdens they incurred during the record-setting 43-day shutdown last fall. The American Federation of Government Employees has called for Congress to pass legislation to pay all DHS employees on time, but did not demand that lawmakers end the shutdown itself."

None will get better. They're all too busy scheming to give union cards to the likes of the Maryland man.

>The Hill, yesterday: "Democrats whip against DHS funding bill despite GOP pressure on Iran.'

I see we're all burning up the phone lines, etc. demanding full funding of DHS by the Senate.

In the meantime, community-based nonprofit or government Welcoming Centers that are NOT tourist info. centers & may serve some actuals refugees - but also many who aren't - are growing and flourishing throughout the nation. Centers such as Global Refuge; The Welcoming Center; Certified Welcoming Centers, and New Americans Welcome Centers, etc. And also, for example, the Illinois Welcoming Center (IWC) within the Illinois Department of Human Services, and The Office of New Americans within Colorado's Department of Labor and Employment.

424 MOST firmly against ICE.

People (most, imo) deserve to be treated with dignity regardless of their citizenship status. But much of the recent past, open door immigration policies have little to nothing to do with that, but rather political opportunity, profit, and outstanding jobs and benefits for overseers.

Money alone for legal fees & establishing & staffing related governmental corporations and non-profits - with substantially different tax bases than for residents - is driving taxes beyond affordability for many residents, and, more than ever, there are unvetted persons & families - no doubt some dangerous - living within the very same communities.

430 You're going to hell in a handbasket, Virginia.

As of March 4, 2026, top breaking news in Virginia includes a Virginia Beach man (Pankaj Joshi) accused of human trafficking; a guilty verdict (of a former Federal employee) in the "au pair affair" trial in Northern Virginia, and a case of measles reported in an adult in Northern Virginia. (Possible exposure in an Office Building located at 2800 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, containing the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Application Support Center & at least ten other businesses or agencies, plus all around Manassas which has big box stores, churches, markets and a medical center.)

Other significant updates include a deadly stabbing on the beltway (by a mort but current federal Foreign Service officer); a high-school coach (alleged "pedo") missing and considered a fugitive, and ongoing political disputes over data center tax breaks. (D proposal for the elimination of a sales and use tax exemption for data centers, which is estimated to cost the state roughly $1.6 billion to $2 billion per year. The tax exemption, in place for over 15 years, applies to equipment and software purchased by data centers.)

Daily Tech News 4 March 2026

Top Story

  • Apple has announced its new MacBook Pro range with update M5 Pro and M5 Max CPUs and faster SSD speeds. (Tom's Hardware)

    The SSD speeds are simple: They're still Apple's awkward proprietary solution, but the speed has been increased to PCIe 5.0 levels. I'm not sure how much difference that makes to a laptop, but it's not unwelcome.

    The CPU story is a little more complicated. Both the M5 Pro and M5 Max feature up to 18 cores, though only 6 of those are performance cores, or what Apple has retroactively renamed "Super" cores. They are the same as the performance cores in the existing M5 chips, which we know because those cores have also been renamed.

    But the other 12 cores aren't efficiency cores, they're "Performance" cores, though precisely what that means we don't know.

    Also, there's no longer a 512GB option; the price has been increased by $100 but the base model now comes with 1TB of SSD.

    Most importantly, the price of memory hasn't increased. It's not exactly cheap, but it's not much more than the market price for regular DDR5 modules now, and provides a lot more bandwidth.


  • There's also a new MacBook Air and, expected tomorrow, the entry-level MacBook Neo. (Notebook Check)

Now I have no idea if this was covered under a tech thread in the past few days but apparently, California passed a law that all operating systems have to have some age verification in place (AB 1043). So it's not demanding photo ID and naturally, no one is going to lie about their age.

46 Don't really feel like working out; I'm tired from less sleep than I think I need. I can skip today . . . but then I'll have to work out both Thursday and Friday to get four sessions this week. And the next two mornings will not be any cooler.

Tonight I run to the library to meet with the tax help people. I just want to see if their software produces the same result as my pencil-and-calculator method. If I'm right, that I'm due a tiny ($100) refund, I can mail my return this week. Or maybe tell the IRS to put the money toward next year's taxes.

The tax session may not be much fun. If Linda comes along, we can go to Haagen-Dasz for ice cream.

Headed down to the shelter at 5:55AM early this morning but nothing exciting happened after the intercept.

SIL called in for service up north while one of our pups came back from the north to us to rest up and enjoy the feast coming up in 3 hours.

Meanwhile I type while enjoying that last of a bottle of good bourbon gifted to us by our state-side pup when he visited here a few months ago.

Please send more.

NC is a purple state, with the large cities ( Charlotte, Raleigh,Durham, Greensboro ) deep blue. Add to that, we have a certain critter here known as a "Yellow Dog Democrat", a person who looks like a normal person, but who will ALWAYS support the Democrat Party, no matter what, so as far Left as the Party goes, they will follow. And Yellow Dogs are everywhere here, even in the small towns.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - March 3, 2026 [TRex]

20260304-BoneThrasher.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Disco is handling the Wednesday ONT this week which leaves you stuck with the Dino tonight.

Welcome to the Tuesday night ONT which means another edition of very random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. i will be disappointed if the gray boxes are not full of puns and innuendo. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Bonus points if you can ignore Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, etc. in the comments.

Today is the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Meat Shower. The what?

From Wikipedia:

On March 3, 1876, a farmer's wife, Mrs. Crouch, was making soap on her porch when she reported seeing a piece of meat fall from the sky. She said she was 40 steps from her house when the meat began to hit the ground. Mrs. Crouch and her husband believed the event was a sign from God. Mrs. Crouch is on record saying that it was "snowing meat" and that "the meat fell with a snapping-like noise when it struck."

The source of the meat and specific meat in question were never determined. The shower reportedly lasted about ten minutes.

You may be asking "Did the locals celebrate the anniversary?" Yes they did.

150 years later, Meat falls from the sky again in this Kentucky county

More than 600 people watched the skies over Bath County late Saturday afternoon as tiny bits of meat fell to the ground. When they landed, onlookers strolled down the hill of Tom Byron's property to retrieve them.

What's for certain is the source was far different and much less sanitary than the 1,876 mini-meat sticks dropped by a small plane Saturday.

Then the plane arrived and over three passes, dropped the meat, which fluttered to the ground like autumn leaves. As soon as it flew away, folks of all ages began to pick up the packages, lured in part by a chance to win prizes.

Among the gatherers was Arliss Shelman of Woodford County, who tallied eight. "It's been a great meat shower," said the third-grader, before admitting it was the only meat shower he could remember.

***

Pet peeve and first world problem:

"How are WE doing today?"

"Are WE interested in ordering appetizers?"

"Did WE decide what WE would like to order?"

"Are WE celebrating any special occasion?"

"Are WE having dessert?"

Grrr....

20080811-Venus_Fly_trap.jpg

Did you know the Venus flytrap has one of the most restricted natural habitats of any plant on Earth? There is only one place in the world where they grow naturally.

Venus flytraps are native only to a tiny region of the U.S. East Coast, specifically:

- A 75-mile radius around Wilmington, North Carolina
- Extending slightly into South Carolina

But why?

For millions of years, the Carolina coastal plain stayed:

- Geologically stable
- Mildly temperate
- Wet but not tropical

This stability allowed an unusual plant lineage to survive long enough to evolve complex snap-trap mechanisms.

Venus flytraps thrive in:

- Nutrient-poor, acidic, sandy peat soils
- Constantly moist but not submerged ground
- Open, sunny environments like wet pine savannas

These conditions occur only in specific coastal wetlands.

If you remove any of these factors, flytraps cannot survive.

Their habitat depends on frequent natural fires, which:

- Clear out competing shrubs and trees
- Keep the soil open to sunlight
- Maintain high water levels in the bogs

Now you know.

Have you seen the "green flash" at sunset?

What is the lifespan of U.S. paper money (per the Federal Reserve)? In this case, lifespan applies to the piece of paper rather than how quickly money disappears from your pocket.

$1 - 7.2 years
$5 - 5.8 years
$10 - 5.7 years
$20 - 11.1 years
$50 - 14.9 years
$100 - 24.0 years

The $2 bill circulates so infrequently that the Federal Reserve makes no estimate of lifespan.

4 I just returned home from a week in São Paulo, Brazil, where the Tabernacle Choir performed four concerts.

The guest artist for two of these concerts was Ivete Sangalo, who is a HUGE star in that country. She did an open-air concert in São Paulo last month, and had *1.2 MILLION* fans show up.

This was my last trip with the Choir. I'll be retiring in a couple months.

Posted by: Half Dozen at March 03, 2026 10:03 PM (EYvpB)

5 Strangest and most unexpected part of this Choir trip? Having lunch, and then dinner a few days later, sitting at a table basically alone with Reverend Amos C. Brown (yes, that Amos C. Brown, check Wkikpedia) and his wife Jane, who oddly enough were traveling with us as friends of the Choir.

Not sure what to make of it, but I think we are actually friends now.

72 willowed:

There have been many serial killers before Jack the Ripper made them famous.

For instance, Giles de Rais killed upwards of 140 children in 15th century France.

He was a nobleman into alchemy & the occult and killed mainly young boys for sacrificial parts to offer to some demon named “Barron” he was trying to summon to sign a contract in return for wealth.

There are a lot of these types of repeat murderers going back many centuries, they just weren’t known as serial killers but as “demon possessed” and called “monsters”, etc.

Many of the early multiple killers were women selling poisons to be used on victims, or poisoners themselves, usually killing spouses and relatives for money & revenge.

143 I got this thrown in my face tonight, by a member of my own family. I wasn't aware of it, and didn't have an answer for it. (I really don't like getting caught flat-footed like that.)

Al-Jazeera link:
https://tinyurl.com/58a8k5xt

"Iran held a mass funeral ceremony for 165 schoolgirls and staff killed on Saturday in what Iran has described as a United States-Israeli attack on a girls' school in the southern city of Minab."

Fox News 9's link:
https://tinyurl.com/mpm922md

Nobody's claiming responsibility for this one (yet.)

My questions:

A) Is this real or is it a fake media-op? I've seen far too many fake injuries/deaths (same kid showing up "dead" at 5+ different explosion sites) from Fatah, Hezbollah, and others to automatically discount that possibility.
B) If this was real, was it mistaken targeting?
C) Was it a nearby targeting and it was messed with by interference? (We've had reports that China's messing with GPS signals in the area.)
D) Whose munitions was it? (Who is responsible?)

Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at March 03, 2026 10:36 PM (O7YUW)

144 There's a story circulating on X about those 3 F-15E's that were downed by "friendly fire" the other day. There's speculation they were downed by a Kuwaiti F-18 who's pilot mistook them for Iranian drones. AIM-9 "Sidewinder" heat seekers are thought to have been the missiles that were used.

FWIW there's little info on the Kuwaiti pilot. At that range you simply cannot mistake a F-15E for a drone. And the Iranians haven't anything that resembles it that can fly... into contested Kuwaiti airspace.

Lots of questions. Few answers.

Its all bullshit. Many school girls did indeed die, but because the Iranians fired a missile...that went up for a few seconds...and then dived downward into the school.

Almost exactly the same as the stories about that hospital in Gaza two years ago that Hamas blew up with their own missile.

165 I'll say the drag coef. chart seems plausible. Pretty sure that I learned somewhere that race cars deliberately create some downward pressure airflow to get better traction and handling. That probably messes with lowering the horizontal drag, but race cars and sports cars have big enough engines to handle a wee bit of extra drag. And Volvos are/were not bricks because of extra drag, they are heavy and full of safety features to make it hard for that teen driving mom's car to drive like he is on a racetrack and end up crashing.

185 Lower Cd doesn’t necessarily mean better “aerodynamics” whatever that is supposed to mean, or even lower drag force. Because it depends on what a particular coefficient is normalized to.

One value in a set may be normalized to a vehicle’s wetted frontal area adjusted for flow through and another normalized to a monkey’s butt. Shouldn’t they all just have consistent and obvious reference area, chord lengths, and aspect ratio calculations you may ask? AH HAHA HAH HAH HAH HAH sigh…

And if you are very lucky the study or your CFD guys will actually tell you something about the reference area of the vehicle or monkey butt, or not, and you cry into your slide ruler and make do.

211 González is a Spanish name. Its origins trace back to a Visigothic name combining the words gunþo (guntho) (battle or war) and alf (elf); the Latinized form was Gundisalv. As the Spanish language developed, the name transformed into Gonzalo and its surname derivative González.

224 Yeahhh, I'mma call bullshit on the aerodynamics poster.

Modern passenger cars, which all look alike, sit between 0.2-0.3. Only crazy concept supercars get much lower.

One of the most important factors, and the reason that literally everything looks like a Prius hatchback nowadays, is having the cross-section of your car's rear end being half the area of its maximum cross-section. Same reason short-range pistol bullets just look like a "U," but long-range rifle bullets have a boat-tail.

Also, being convex everywhere, like that bullet. Even modern sedans have a big sloping rear window and a tiny trunk lid, so they have a hatchback-like shape, without much of a concave angle where they meet. Pickup trucks, because of the giant right-angle from the cab to the bed, sit closer to 0.6. The Cybertruck looks like a mutant minivan just to get that down to 0.4.

The "sports cars" in the pic with the higher numbers have big spoilers, which convert drag into downforce to keep the wheels from spinnin', so their numbers might be correct? Tires/rims, and the shape of the wheel wells matters more than you'd think, too.

Having the (solid) tailgate up makes the mass of air in the bed into part of the truck, partially. So it gets closer to the ideal hatchback shape, with smaller concave angles and a bigger cross-section at the rear.

It's also why that empty beer can rattling around in the bed doesn't go flying out as soon as you hit 20mph.

244 Pookette's teachers are warning us that she might have to transfer back to general math once she hits high school. They're still doing assessment tests with basic math drills and guess who gets bored with those because she knows it all already. She's surprisingly great with word problems. She's worried about geometry, though, because she didn't get my spatial intelligence. I think she'll do fine and I'm fighting to keep her in advanced math because she enjoys it.

If she's bored in math, ask her teachers if she can nap during the first part of the class, because she's likely to catch up by the end.

The other option is something I did. I'd correct the teacher when they made a mistake. Teachers don't seem to like that much.

267 But you can’t compare those Cd values.

Drag = q * S * Cd

Where q is the dynamic pressure of course which varies with the square of velocity, and S is the reference area. Which reference area? Exactly. That’s the problem. It is going to be different for each vehicle and maybe even calculated differently. When you are presenting these things, like in a Horner Drag book you try to be consistent in methodology.

Dodge Ram bastard story... no shade, I used to own one and it was a good truck, but some Ram drivers are total maniac assholes, for some reason.

Anyway, I was standing at 17th & Lincoln in Denver in a crowd of people waiting to cross to Civic Center Station. Line of backed up traffic with the last vehicle being a regular, stock Ram, obviously being used for work. First vehicle at the next light is a lifted ram with off-roading tires, suspension, vertical exhausts through the bed, the works.

This basTARD rolls through the red, *into the intersection* so he can get right behind the other guy, honking his horn, then leans through window screaming at the top of lungs "You call that a Ram?! THIS IS A RAM," and proceeds to roll coal all over all of us standing there.

289 liked HS geometry class. It made sense to me. Or so I thought.

I was kicked up a grade, so was taking the sophomore class as a freshman, and got lots of sideways looks from the upper classmen. Ugh, but whatever.

Final test-- felt really good about it afterward! Figured I aced that sucker.

Well, I aced it alright: 59%

Highest score in the whole class. Good thing teacher graded on a curve! (We all failed, but for that.)

296 Dodge Ram bastard story... no shade, I used to own one and it was a good truck, but some Ram drivers are total maniac assholes, for some reason.

Anyway, I was standing at 17th & Lincoln in Denver in a crowd of people waiting to cross to Civic Center Station. Line of backed up traffic with the last vehicle being a regular, stock Ram, obviously being used for work. First vehicle at the next light is a lifted ram with off-roading tires, suspension, vertical exhausts through the bed, the works.

This basTARD rolls through the red, *into the intersection* so he can get right behind the other guy, honking his horn, then leans through window screaming at the top of lungs "You call that a Ram?! THIS IS A RAM," and proceeds to roll coal all over all of us standing there.

I was armed that day, and for brief moment I thought "this might be worth it."

You are talking Mode 4, the codes would change every day but would still retain the previous day's codes just in case of a goof.

Since three F-15Es were struck, it pretty much rules out three pilots forgetting to reset their IFF to ON when RTB or three different ground crews forgetting to load new codes.

So the focus is on the ADA folks much like everything focused on Gettysburg's skipper pencil whipping who was qualified to be in charge and the ship having data-link issues that prevented it from networking with the rest of the battle group.

damn near all aviation has IFF (military 100000% has IFF) but I believe the patriot and most air defense has a "auto" mode basically if it flies it dies but might require controller input for final weapons release authority and depending upon how crowded the airspace is that could have played a part and also weather or not jamsheed was distracted by his goat during air defense 101

I think there was a thread of connection to them all in not wanting Trump to ever win, and worse. Their hands are dirty...well, McCain is dead, so I don't know what his hands are doing.

It's about as hard to find as the photos we've seen of Hillary "I don't know him" with Epstein, but I found one of McCain's trip to Syria. To find a connection is almost impossible now. Just as Hillary's photos with Epstein are now "AI." Ok.

If they had succeeded in stopping President Trump who knows where we'd be today?

326 Looking at the shoot down story - found the report. Ironically what makes it likely that another aircraft was involved is that all the pilots survived. Air to air missiles have smaller warheads than surface to air missiles and may just take out an engine, allowing the pilots time to eject.

The report said the shoot downs took place at the same time there were Iranian drones inside the security perimeter.

331 As far as I’m concerned, geometry is awesome, and involves the same part of my brain as learning foreign languages does.

Very High traffic environment... coming back from a mission into 'friendly' air space... and someone did not have the right codes for IFF...

Also, I'll bet the Command hammered into the pilots heads that if they were in 'friendly' space... they were supposed to be very careful about their actions...

Why the Iranians would park a launcher in the courtyard of a girls' boarding school you can ask them that yourselves. Or, as they admit, housing girls in a 'former' missile installation while the weapons themselves were moved over (checks notes) 100 yards. (an odd measure for Iranians, you'd think they'd use cubics).


Seriously, if the forensics was in the Iranians interest there would be hundreds of not thousands of photos posted and accessible.

342 Tone Lōc (Anthony Smith) turned 60 today. I spent way too long trying to find good YT link for "Funky Cold Medina"; 1989 was, apparently, not a good year for hip-hop production values. The videos online have different issues, such as having been obviously recorded from an MTV broadcast and redubbed with poorly sync'd audio, or "upscaled" into the wrong aspect ratio. The two live events I checked from that year are even worse, since his vocals are doubled -- he was brazenly just rapping over the album track.

So, here are your options: you can have a decent quality version of the original video, with very quiet audio, but at least you get his funny expressions; or you can have the original album audio, with decent quality sound.

Trig was my first A in math in my life, and a 4.0 GPA for that first semester of my sophomore year. My father asked if my report card was a joke! No, I just finally decided to succeed and find a method to study.

Same. But my degree is in engineering, which is for people who think geometry and trig and algebra are on the same level as "arithmetic" and "counting to 10."

That said, I coasted through all of calculus, and then hit a brick wall. Hard. I barely passed differential equations, so "computational fluid dynamics" or "antenna design" would not have been the careers for me. Definitely no chance of a double-major in math or physics.

I have inhalers, etc, sinus salt water stuff, Advil, yada for the battle ahead. The first time in a year, so doing pretty well.

My grandbaby was pretty sick (for her, she's tough and a cutie pie). If I'm not getting sick I want to take her again to help her mother so she can work. RSV is apparently doing its thing here altho her siblings seem immune.

She's so sweet she doesn't care, but her cough worried me before she saw a doc. It also stinks to be a nurse who worked with babies and pediatrics at one point of my schizo career. I knew she had it before she was diagnosed: horrid cough and no other symptoms.

Once again I'm imploring my fellow morons to read the USS Gettysburg report if they are confused about how things like this can happen.

If the USS Gettysburg, which was literally in charge of air defense for a carrier group while having known problems with its IFF system, can attempt to shoot down 3 US planes because they were getting jumpy about the drone attacks, then a Kuwaiti pilot can absolutely make the same mistake.

You can't expect pilots to be fully prepared to defend at all times against missiles especially after they reached friendly lines and are preparing to land. One of the crew apparently didn't even have time to prepare for the ejection because his hand was badly injured.

I'm sure there will be an accident investigation for this and hopefully it won't be classified and probably most of your questions will get answered.

My rotten Cat doesn't like tummy rubs either. He's not a "lap cat" and does not like being touched in any way when it's sleepy time.

I can rub & scrub on him when he's begging for treats, though! LOL. He will occasionally walk up to me & give a head-butt, just because. Sometimes he will sit next to my chair and beg for chin rubbys, and if I scritch long enough, he'll go into a trance and start to drool. (He's odd.)

I honestly thought zoology was much grosser with worms. Hated that class and to this day do not know why I had to take it going towards a medical degree. A flight attendant for Pan Am or TWA was my back up career (my husband thinks I would have been kidnapped and never seen again in Europe as I was so naive).

In nursing class we had to watch an autopsy, which I would not recommend. Some of my classmates fainted.

Well hmmm, thinking about it, I could handle playing in one of those high paying Rush tribute bands. Not metal, but fun, and I know it good. Other than that, nah, gotta punish speakers and peel paint. So yeah, I give other musicians credit if they jump around different genres.

428 I coasted through Law & Economics 1st year in law school. Given that I had studied the prisoner's dilemma in 6th grade.... It was an interesting class at times, with formulas for determining expected outcomes based on applications of different burdens of proof, etc., but ultimately was boring. Friend around the corner in the grad dorm, a Phi Beta Kappa (he occasionally reminded me) asked me a few days before the final when I was going to study for it (he wanted to study with me). "I'm not." He flipped out incredulous. "It's easy." "No it's not! It's hard!" "Here, let me show you how to do it...." I got an A. My 48-hour constitutional law take home exam was like that. Same friend wanders in at 11 a.m. (I had picked it up at 9). "Are you drinking a beer?!?" "Yes. Want one?" I went through quite a few. Third highest grade in the class. Civ Pro was in class and I was sober. C+. If I had just gotten a B, I would have gradumacated cum laude.

Yeah I can see that. It can be rough jumping to different genres, because its like a different language. You get muscle memory of all the different techniques of your genre and it can screw you up sometimes when you venture outside of it. I go through it enough with some of the metal dudes. I remember when ozzy went solo, and Randy Rhoads was the new thing. I had to retrain my fingers because back then it was sabbath, judas priest, AC/DC, etc., and there was a demand on trhe clubs to hear ozzy. A little while later Yngwie was the big thing, and he was sooo vastly different that after a long period of playing that I went to play an AC/DC song and I couldn't do it. My fingers got so used to shred style they were tripping over themselves to play AC/DC. They didn't work that way any more. Eventually yeah, and it all gets incorporated. Going outside the genre is even worse, a different language. Wait,You mean thee J geils? As in J geils band?

The older 'history' books were not PC crap. (Like Bruce Catton.) A great two-book series from one class is Paige Smith's "A New Age Now Begins." He takes the diary of an enlistee from CT, Private Plum Martin. Using his diary, he fills out what Martin didn't see. We end up with Sgt. Martin who survived the War. But Smith was able to incorporate the human touch from Martin's diary into Revolutionary War events, weaving them together. Just a damn good read.

The J Geils Band were a blues/Motown/rock fairly successful band in the late 70s 80s that had a few big moments like touring with the Stones as an opening act but never really cracked the big time other than Centerfold which was an abomination. But they could get an auditorium rocking. They were big in the Boston area but had a lot of competition in the Boston rock scene back then. J was pretty chill and hated the publicity part of it which didn't help.

But he knew foreign sports cars particularly Ferraris. Opened a business to restore them and raced vintage ones at Lime Rock. I got to pit crew for him a couple times which basically meant helped get the car to the track and not touch anything.

You would've liked his vintage guitar collection. I wasn't allowed to touch them either.

"Iran claims it destroyed the $1.1B AN/FPS-132 early-warning radar (5,000km range for ballistic missile tracking). NYT satellite analysis confirms damage near radar/comms systems at the base and 6 others.

Short-term: Degrades regional missile detection, but US has satellite redundancy, mobile radars, and allies' systems—base ops continue uninterrupted as CENTCOM hub. Not a knockout blow."

One missile hit the radar, one was intercepted.

475 Well not if you did, but when thrash came on the scene. That's a completely different way of playing. Shehobbits middle kid is learning now and he's pretty good for a teenager, but any time he has to go country or metal (his jam is classic rock) it takes him a minute to get it

Posted by: BruceWayne at March 04, 2026 01:01 AM (MGB5H)

I did my time with thrash and speed metal, a lot actually. I still play it a lot. Power metal too, which I kinda like because of the classical influence. I did some time with death metal, and a very little bit of Norwegian black metal, and some symphonic metal. I'm pretty well rounded in the metal sub genres. The longer it was a challenge the longer I stayed with it. When it become routine I moved on to the next one and absorbed that. Nu-metal on the other hand, hell no. None of the "cores" either, like grind core or hard core. No, nothing to be learned there.

476 Ronald Reagan sold AWACS to Saudi Arabia, maybe they are lending a covert hand. I think they at least expressed support for the mission. It was opposed by many, but Reagan said it was for security for Israel, back when democrats cared about that, and it would promote peace in the region.

I bothered whatever's there about a month ago. Misplaced my glasses. Hunted. A lot. Thought they might have gotten knocked off and under something. So I crawled around. Two days later, it hurt. Thought I just banged a rib. It subsided, but never completely. Then Sunday was bad, so off to the ER.

I guess it's a good thing I bothered it or I'd've never known.

One of the dudes who comes to the shop and shoot the shit comes in at the beginning of last week and says his friend had a massive heart attack 2 days before and just got operated on. Got a triple by pass. Says his heart was at 30%. At the end of week he comes in and said his friend died. I asked wtf happened? he starts telling me, he says he was sitting on the couch at home.... I said WHAT? Home? wtf was he doing home already?? When I went in it was 8 days and I didn't have a heart attack, my heart was good, and I was there 8 days. WTF was this dude doing home 3-4 days after? I think he blew one of his grafts if you ask me. I think he signed himself out, his friend said he was pissed about being in the hospital, said he was going to leave. From what I was told he was sitting on the couch with his heart pillow, he coughed...boom, dead. Man if my surgeon told me to strip naked and swim in a shark tank, well yes sir. Home 4 days after...dude killed himself.

You sign up but if you're still working it goes into another bucket. But yes post 65 you are forced onto Medicaid. So like my dad still works but his main insurance is Medicaid but they pay less for him and my mom (also over 65 on Medicaid) because they have private insurance because he still works.

528 I'm a little foggy on this medicare shit. Through the wife we got seriously good insurance. I heard that once you get to 65 you have to sign up for medicare? I'm older than her, so eventually when I hit 65 and she's still working I still have to sign up for that shit?? Even though we get good insurance from her job??
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at March 04, 2026 02:20 AM (snZF9)

I'm single. TBH, I have no fucking clue.

I do know my friend will be 70 this Sept. She's signed up for Medicare, but not with a plan. SHe's still working. Married couples I really have no idea. There's weird rules.

For example, from what I've gathered, you can't use Prescription RX if you have Medicare Drug Coverage. And who wouldn't have such coverage?

Honestly, just check the Medicare website. It's pretty informative about such things. It doesn't just discuss plans and shit. With Mrs. B working, you may have to sign up but just not with a plan. But check.

540 Hubby has Medicare, plus "Plan G" (the best coverage, if you have any health issues, imo) and a separate "Part D" (Rx) plan.

"Advantage" plans are for healthy people. Dad had Advantage coverage (also known as: Part C) which is the easiest to get because you can sign up right on the Medicare website-- and is (IMO) crap if you have *any* health problems.

Medicare supplement plans, such as what hubby has, you must go to an insurance agent to sign up. They are more expensive than Part C, but have better coverage and lower or no copays.

544 the drag coefficient graphic ignores something. The Drag force, in pounds, includes muliplying the drag coefficient, with the dynamic pressure of the fluid, and (most importantly), the reference area of the device. In the case of cars, it is most likely the projected frontal area of the car. (in airplanes, it's the wing area).

So, the bigger the car, the bigger the drag force, most likely.

547 That said, I coasted through all of calculus, and then hit a brick wall. Hard. I barely passed differential equations, so "computational fluid dynamics" or "antenna design" would not have been the careers for me. Definitely no chance of a double-major in math or physics.
Posted by: mikeski
------
I sorta cheated my way through DiffEq. By "cheating", I mean that I got a much better grade by using knowledge that I wasn't supposed to.have.
One of the biggest obstacles is " knowing the form". When a student (and this happened regularly) asked the instructor solving a problem on the blackboard ,"How do you know which form this is?" , the answer was always, "It'll come with experience." So, come test time, everybody is trying different forms, running into a dead end, restarting with a different form, lather, rinse, repeat until "Time!"
Now, many EE courses.were a lot like short form Utubes, in math. "Fields" spent the first three weeks on the basics of Vector calc, "Circuits 4" did the same with Linear Algebra, and "Circuits 3"... well, I wound up taking some classes out of order so I had C3 before DiffEq, which led me to deriving Fourier Transforms, thence LaPlace Transforms.

549 BruceWayne-- if you're turning 65 soon, talk to an agent. Many have "medicare classes" with no obligation, so you can make an informed decision.

Plan G costs $216/month here for hubby-- and covers all but the ~$200/annual medicare deductible. Pays for everything that Medicare doesn't pay, and there has been no issue for him to get authorizations. It's outstanding coverage for the price, especially if you have *any* hospitalization or major outpatient expense!

Hubby has had 3 ER visits and 2 hip surgeries last year. Plus his eye issues (medical, not "vision" as in glasses) and ongoing liver & kidney tests & ultrasounds...

$zero out of pocket after deductible and premiums.

Posted by: JQ at March 04, 2026 02:58 AM (rdVOm)

555 Beserker,

Yes, when you hit 65 (within 3 months, plus or minus), you need to sign up for Medicare, even if you or spouse are still working with vood insurance.

The process online goes through all the yes/no questions that describe your individual circumstance.

If you (or spouse) are still working with insurance, you will tell Medicare that, and you won't sign up for the expensive Part B until you stop having insurance, possibly years later.

The will sign you up for Part A (usually no cost to you).

If you don't sign up in the 3 month (plus/minus) window, Medicare will slap you with a premium $ penalty for a long time afterward.

Yes. He has Part A (hospital only), Part B (the rest of medicare) Part D (an Rx ins. plan) and Plan G (medicare supplemental ins.)

Total cost? Less than $500/month. Excellent coverage, and costs less than HALF what I'm paying for a shitty 404care plan that covers just about *nothing*

Posted by: JQ at March 04, 2026 03:06 AM (rdVOm)

559 (Contd)
Come test time, on a piece of scratch paper ( which I carefully did NOT turn in) I would do a Laplace on the problem, solve it, then do enough of the partial.fraction to see what form it was, go back and do the problem using DiffEq techniques. This didn't make me any smarter in terms of actually solving the problems, but, because I skipped all the flailing around that my classmates were doing, I got more problems completed than they did, and it bumped me up.the curve. That got me, barely, a A, which made up for the C I got in Electrical.Machinery 2, which was because of that unfortunate incident in the machinery lab... but that's another story.

Posted by: Jimmy Doolittle

That's the way it's designed, to force you into Medicare. If you miss the window, your Medicare premium (when you DO sign up) is raised, the amount of raise being set by how long you delayed. Wait longer, pay more. You're saving them money by not signing up, right? It should be CHEAPER, right? Nope. More expensive - you are punished for NOT signing up. And, the premium increase never goes away. Unless you are extremely wealthy, so that you can pay exorbitant medical bills on your own, you're screwed if you don't sign up when they want you to.
Medicare advantage plans have one really big advantage: convenience. I hand them by Humana card, I get one bill later for my portion. I also get documentation from Humana on what that should be. My wife dealt with.regular Medicare with her mother. The paperwork was ridiculous. 11 months after she died we were still dealing with the bills and paperwork.

My experiance is opposite. Before Medicare I had Blue Cross. They covered most everything I needed but the monthly (Oh when I started with them before Aids it was an annual fee of not that much) became exorbitant.

With operations and such I do pay the balance but hospitals allow one to pay it off monthly and relative to everything else it's not that much.

572 The documentation we get from Humana with our Advantage plans does something else: illustrate how absolutely byzantine and screwed up the entire medical.cost system is.
Prices billed have practically zero.correlation to costs. How do I know this? Because if they did, the doctors and hospitals could not possibly offer the "discounts" that the insurance companies get.
Doctor bills - $5460.
Humana discount - $4790
Humana pays - $610.50
I.pay - $59.50
No other business could remain giving an almost 90% discount.

Looks like Tucker Carlson was half right about teams of Demolition Jews sneaking around Qatar and Dubai planting explosives.

Agents were in fact arested.

Agents of his patron Iran, that is.

BREAKING: Foreign agent Tucker Carlson lied that Qatar had arrested Mossad agents.

Turns out that Qatar had actually arrested 10 IRGC agents.

Allah has a sense of irony!

--

State of Qatar

Doha, March 3 (QNA) -- As part of ongoing efforts to protect the security and stability of the state, the competent authorities were able to arrest two cells working in favor of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the State of Qatar.

Monitoring and follow-up operations resulted in the arrest of ten suspects: seven of them were assigned espionage tasks to gather information about vital and military facilities in the country, and three others were assigned to carry out sabotage operations and received training in the use of drones. They were also found to possess locations and coordinates of sensitive facilities, as well as communication tools and technical devices.

The suspects admitted during investigations to their connection with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and to being tasked with espionage and sabotage activities.

The State Security apparatus calls on citizens and residents to remain vigilant and cautious and to report any suspicious activities to the competent authorities.

May God protect Qatar, its Emir, and its people from all harm, and may He grant us the blessing of security and safety.

Here's video from Sky News (I think) to prove this isn't just more Zionist Lies, as Tucker would say.

To recap:

Yesterday, Tucker Carlson that Qatar arrested Mossad agents planting bombs.

This morning, Qatar stated that Tucker's claim was entirely false.

This evening, Qatar announced they arrested IRGC sleeper cells.

BREAKING: Esmail Qaani, head of Iran's Quds Force, has survived all assassination attempts so far, and was even with Khamenei yesterday but escaped again. Now he has allegedly been taken into custody by the IRGC on suspicion of being a Mossad agent and working for Israel.

You either die an Ayatollah or you live long enough for them to suspect you're Mossad

Fetterman's Lump had control of the body today, and spoke wisely.

Communist jihadist Zohran Mamdani announces free child care -- meaning, babysitters -- for illegals. I'm sure it's his idea that he'll pirate federal money to pay for this.

Regime thugs are shooting at protesters in Iran again. Send in the drones!

A very patriotic left-wing influencer says Trump should have allowed Iran to bomb US servicemen first, which would have given him a perfect justification to hit Iran and a "PR victory." He faults Trump for being so stupid as to not see the benefits of this awesome "let American soldiers die for PR points" plan.

In the previous post, Trump mentioned his anger at the UK for denying us the use of our own base at Diego Garcia.

Is this his vengeance? He wants the US government to create a corporation to insure cargoes going through the Strait of Hormuz. (Shipping companies will pay for the insurance, Trump just wants to spin up a company to provide it.)

This would have the effect of hurting the current main insurer, the UK super-insurer Lloyd's of London.

Check out Bill Kristol's opinion on Iran -- use military force to crush the regime -- from January 8, 2026, when he was attacking Trump for not attacking Iran, with his current opinion, that Trump must not be allowed a "blank check" to fight an illegal war in Iran.

billkristoliran.jpg

billkristolirannow.jpg

Wow! What a difference fifty days makes!!!


This is pretty amazing. Earlier, even Al Jazeera had to fact-check Tucker Qatarlson and report that that the Qatar Foreign Minister had no evidence of Tucker's "Mossad agents planting false-flag bombs" conspiracy theory.

The pro-Iran conspiracy theorists, in turn, are now denouncing Al Jazeera as "a tool of the Trump regime."

Tucker's favorite "foreign policy guru" announces that Trump is a "puppet" of "the CIA, Mossad, and Miriam Adelson."

Tucker's Baghdad Buckley conspiracy theories are finding an appreciative audience among the jihadis:

Sachs is also a big promoter of Red China's "peaceful technological advancement," contrasting that to America's warmongering "decay."

Kirk Watson, while a dem, is not a crazed demon. And Abbott will not let that stand. Here is a story I believe: Reports that the Travis County District Attorney's Office might bring three officers involved in the Austin mass shooting before a grand jury quickly spread online and drew political attention—including from Gov. Greg Abbott. However, District Attorney José Garza told Chron that those claims are false.

"These police officers are heroes who saved lives," Abbott wrote on Tuesday. "Whatever the DA does, I will have the final say in the fate of these police officers." The story goes on to say things are just in the routine investigation stage.

(They seem ok with the murder and stuff, but the allah's name on a hoodie is unforgivable.)

Seriously, the marxists want to think that islam really is the religion of peace. They are irredeemable.

160 So - in Austin its SOP to go to the Grand Jury whenever there is an officer's use of force. What a ridiculous waste of time- hopefully this will publicize what seems to be a far left "Wren Collective" pushing this crap. But I am confident these officers will breeze in and out. Here's a bit more: " And the attorney hired by the Austin Police Association, Doug O’Connell, welcomed the opportunity to work with him while blasting the policies of the District Attorney:

“Sad but true, in Austin the Wren Collective requires the DA to have a Grand Jury consider charges every time a police officer uses force. And the DA completely controls the Grand Jury & decides what evidence they see and what they’re prohibited from seeing.”

I bet this will change soon.

165 Here's the guy that we took out, the regime that the left is protesting to protect:

Ayatollah Khomenei's manual of Islamic law, the Tahrir al-Wasilah. Page 229, Volume 3: ''Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other sexual enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.''

As Allie Beth Stuckey goes on to explain:

According to his interpretation of Islamic law below, there should be no punishment for raping a girl under 9, and it is no sin to molest even an infant. He goes on to say that if a man rapes his child bride and her genitals tear completely, she may still be considered his wife and he may still have complete rights to her.

A central Indiana school district has reportedly agreed to pay over half a million dollars to a former music teacher who resigned after refusing to call transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns.

Court records show the Brownsburg Community School Corporation has agreed to settle a lawsuit with John Kluge. The Alliance Defending Freedom, the group representing Kluge in court, said the district agreed to pay $650,000 and retrain senior staff on religious discrimination.

A former orchestra teacher at Brownsburg High School, Kluge resigned in 2018 after a policy change required staff to use students’ preferred names and pronouns. Despite multiple rulings in the district’s favor, officials said they agreed to a settlement rather than continue with litigation.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at March 03, 2026 07:01 PM (zZu0s)


I've been on a grand jury. A case being presented means a prosecutor is trying to charge somebody with a crime, potentially putting them on trial (short of a plea deal). It's well beyond simply investigating a police shooting to determine if it was justified. It means that some lunatic DA has decided that it was NOT justified, and wants to punish the cops involved.

On top of that, it doesn't seem like there's been enough time to even properly analyze any evidence that there might be. Witch hunt.

I don't know what the local laws are but every police force I am aware of benches a cop who has been in a shooting and there's an inquiry if the shooting was justified or not, possibly more if it was lethal. Its kind of like how British Navy captains were always court martialed if they lost their ship, no matter how it happened. It was a formality in most cases, they just wanted to make sure it was not done out of cowardice, incompetence, or malice.

They might want to hold on to some of that ordinance for the sectarian, inter-factional fighting that is brewing on their horizon.. At the rate they are losing 'leaders', the surviving 'pragmatic' IRGC lowlife will likely become regional/factional warlords, selling each other out to the Mossad to get them killed, so they can seize more territory and build their power.

"The UK, through Lloyds and other insurance firms, have reaped the benefits of this and now, at a time we determined as critical, they enabled these nuclear blackmailers cover to hold the entire global economy hostage.

In other words: Just try stopping us, Spain.

Seriously though, the Spanish government is a disaster. It maintains power by partnering with regionalists who explicitly want to break away from Spain.

118 Why have we defaulted to this concept that Europe is our ally?
Posted by: Leupold at March 03, 2026 06:05 PM (eIzlH)
********************

Probably due to the existence of NATO since 1949, with America's political establishment willing to overlook massive freeriding after the end of the Cold War resulted in most NATO members slashing their military budgets to a pittance.

Also due to the insistence of America's political establishment that there is such a thing as "Europe", actively promoting the development of the EU and its suppression of national identities.

You also have to have an aware constituency who doesn't believe everything you say because their side said it.

The Dems know they don't have a shot of reining Trump in, this is more create-a-kerfuffle to get Pubs to cave or get nervous, or waffle in some way.

They're not in majority in either house, they definitely can't survive a veto. It's simple posturing to put the word out there that this is "Illegal" and Trump is acting "illegally".

The country is taking military action and they are trying to secure the upcoming midterms.

Wasn't the UK about the same? Wouldn't allow using Diego Garcia for this, and even started the process to give the territory away? Globalist Starmer discretely trying to undermine Trump's efforts to take down the Globalist cabal and it's evil accomplices. Maybe they've changed their tune, after Iran attacked the UK presence in Cyorus.

While he's at it, Trump should demand that Spain "voluntarily" agree to honor the ixnayed tariffs, forfeiting any refunds their exporters might want, before he opens trade back up. And then tell everyone else that wants a refund that he'll do the same.

Netflix Head Ted Sandaros Tried to Convince GOP Congressmen His Company Wasn't a Woke Groomer Propaganda Outfit.
Then Legislators Visited Netflix HQ, and Found Tampons in the Men's Bathroom.
Plus: Megyn Kelly, The Chameleon Princess of Pop Politics

Well, maybe we're a little woke.

Netflix tried to sweet-talk Congress into letting them gain near-monopoly power in the entertainment space. GOP Congressmen feared another woke propaganda monopoly. Ted Sanadaros lied, claiming Netflix was just an entertainment company with no interest at all in grooming children.

Well, maybe a little. (Caution: Links to poster for Netflix's 11-year-old-girls sex-twerking movie "Cuties.")


Charlie Gasparino reports that Netflix betrayed its woke agenda when they let Congressional investigators use the men's room.



There were many defining moments featured in the months-long battle for the ownership of Warner Bros. Discovery: sit-downs to woo President Trump, high-profile congressional hearings, a brutal bidding war, and a tampon.

Yes, a tampon.

During the negotiations, while Netflix was telling skeptical GOP lawmakers that it wasn't a left-wing company looking to get more powerful by snapping up WBD, a delegation of legislators paid a visit to its headquarters, and one was both shocked and disturbed to find a basket containing tampons in the men's restroom.

To be clear, there are other factors involved in CEO Ted Sarandos' decision to cancel his nearly completed purchase of WBD's studio and streaming service. But the "tampon incident," as it has become known on Capitol Hill, does carry some weight in the unwavering political opposition from the GOP to Sarandos' ambitions.

"This is 2026, not 2020," said one GOP staffer with firsthand knowledge of the matter. "What were they thinking?"

...

During the six-month bidding war, many Republicans in Congress, state AG offices and of course the White House came to believe that Netflix was seeking to create a monopoly in streaming -- an increasingly important way Americans consume entertainment.

Netflix denied this, arguing it faces competition for consumers from social media and YouTube, though opposition only seemed to intensify in recent weeks. One big worry: Netflix would use the market clout that WBD would give it to further push progressivism in its programming.

Sarandos has long argued that Netflix programming appeals to all political tastes, but conservative-leaning advocacy groups have produced research that its programming and documentaries more often push themes such as transgenderism, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and other issues near and dear to the cultural left.

Sarandos and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, meanwhile, are both big supporters of Democrats and progressive policies. Susan Rice, a top official in the lefty Obama administration and a staunch critic of Trump, sits on its board. It was Rice's inopportune comments on a podcast attacking companies that do business with Trump that is also said to have cost Sarandos more White House support for the WBD deal.

Now that Paramount (almost) owns WB, John Oliver will probably be the next to join Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel in the podcasting world.

"We might be getting a new business daddy!," Oliver quipped at the beginning of Sunday night's show. "Last Week Tonight" airs on HBO, which sits within Warner Bros. Discovery. Under the announced terms, Paramount plans to buy all outstanding WBD shares at $31 per share in cash, with the companies saying the deal is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to regulatory clearances and WBD shareholder approval.

"Yeah, not great news," he went on to say. "In fact, if I may quote anyone who's ever accidentally sat on their Roku remote, I'm in Paramount now...how the f-ck do I get out of here?'"


Speaking of left-wing media that endlessly promotes the grooming of children: Highly Alleged Born-Again Catholic and #SuddenOnsetBasedWarrior Megyn Kelly, everybody, when someone else was signing her checks. Here she welcomes "transgender" children, between 11 and 13 years old, and a transgender agitator for "the Gender-Cool Project."

Boy isn't she based. I totally believe she is, deep in her soul, a totally committed movement conservative and not just another Holler-for-a-Dollar media whorecaster.


Do you guys remember, when Megyn Kelly was attacking Trump on Fox most nights, and was about to abandon Fox for a left-wing network, she was reportedly seen at an industry event shunning all Fox personnel and spending the night giggling with Jake Tapper, Jim Schiutto, Don Lemon, and other CNN hard-left liberals?

I do.

In case I never said this here, I never thought Megyn Kelly was much of a thinker. I linked her not because she was a leader, but because she is and was and always will be a follower.

I took her as a reasonable proxy for what other follower-AWFULs were thinking. If even the AWFUL Megyn Kelly was turning against transgenderism, then I would take that as a canary in the coalmine that the left had lost ground on the issue.

Again, I never saw her as a cutting edge thinker that should be quoted because she was leading the discourse. I saw her a slavishly-imitative, social-status-obsessed follower and corporate fuckbunny who would be a reliable lagging indicator of where the other followsome AWFULs might be moving. Not a leading indicator, a lagging one. Watching Megyn Kelly would tell you where the national trend had been a year ago.

Which is still useful information. We don't usually see trends as they're happening. We often only confirm them after they've already happened.

Megyn will always move to where she thinks the middle of the pack is, where she thinks it's safest, where she's surrounded by the most bodies.

Especially male bodies. For a feminist, she really takes all of her cues from more decisive men. Roger Ailes, Brit Hume, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, Nick Fuentes... this GirlBoss Feminist really needs a confident man, usually a blowhard, to tell her what she should be thinking at any moment.

Now that she's just Granny Groyper, she has no use to me. I don't need to know where Nick Fuentes and "Sneako" and Hasan Piker are heading.

I already know that:

Bonus: A couple of trailers.

First, a new Scary Movie, this one featuring a lot of returning cast members. I know they're stupid and low-rent, but I did like Scary Movie 1 and 2. I'm a fan of Anna Farris.

Chris Elliot seems to come back for a cameo, too.

A few dumb anti-woke jokes. I'll take them. Light content warning. In one scene Anna Farris holds two big dildos like martial arts weapons. And it's just generally R-rated stuff.

Is it good...? Eh, it's like The Force Awakens before everyone caught up with me and realized it was a piece of shit: It gives nostalgia feels.

I don't like promoting Disney or its subsidiary Hulu, but Vince Vaughan did a new comedy.

31 Sarandos is definitely happy he got out...with a cool $2B at the expense of his competition (for being dumb). He knew what he was doing. If the economy craps out, the Ellison's will be stuck holding the bag at Oracle. All the debt they've amassed will wipe them out. I think Netflix knows this too.

If that comes to pass, he knows he can get the entire Paramount "ball of wax" for far less. It wouldn’t surprise me if Netflix didn’t drive the price up on purpose with this in mind.

Let's be real, Netflix was crushing everyone before this and will after this. I think I should catch up on John Oliver then cancel, because they will obviously pull the plug on that show.

i have no doubt president trump killed the deal. the administration always wanted paramount to win. crazy is right

What is going to be sad is how the Ellison's going to destroy HBO. HBO is a good product, this would of been great under Netflix. I am glad that Netflix is not going to fire Susan Rice from the board of directors.

The Susan Rice shit is crazy! GOP whose whole brand was about free markets is flat out telling companies who they can hire.

Free Bert is on Netflix and it's HILARIOUS and not woke. Bert Kreischer in a sitcom sorta about his life, about trying to survive having two teenage girls going to a fancy Hollywood school. The woke psychopath parents, the policies, the entitled nepo babies, fitting in... It's really good, I hope it gets a season 2.

94 but conservative-leaning advocacy groups have produced research that its programming and documentaries more often push themes such as transgenderism, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and other issues near and dear to the cultural left.

If this surprises them, they never tried to get the Alphabet people programming out of their netflix recommendations.

You could go into the "Don't show me this" list, click on all the categories you didn't want to see, click "not interested" on the specific shows you didn't want to see, the whole nine yards, and the damn things would still show up in "recommended for you".

Well, it probably gives them a foreign audience but not much of a domestic one. Leftists in the US already have their homegrown anti-Semites to watch and listen to. The Right rejects that sort of thing. That leaves foreigners and the dumb and young groyper brigade.

147 People are rightfully saying we are finishing a 49 year war. For Carter tho, he couldn't bomb Iran, they had a bunch of US hostages (and we were stuck, no they were not going to be martyrs, they were American husbands and sons who some of us knew). When Reagan freed them, he could not just obliterate Iran, the Middle East hated us. Only Iran could spend the next 49 years making an enemy of everyone in the region. Now Saudi gladly helps us obliterate them. For Trump, fortuitously, now is the right time.

207 The Left is all about seizing and pouncing on things near and dear to the people of the Center and Right. After the object is attained, the Commies cram it into a skinsuit and demand that we worship it with ever increasing fervor. It amuses the Left when the simple-minded do so because they figure that if they possess ALL of our icons, they "win".

It's like a race - on the Left it's the deconstruction of the national mythos, on the Right, it's the set number of 80-20 hills the Left is willing to die on.

215 I believe Tucker & Megyn both suffered viewership losses after the intense interest in the 2024 election when every political podcaster was making big bucks on YouTube & TikTok, etc.

They all probably lost half their audience when 2025 rolled around because a lot of people pulled away from watching politics and won't start back again until the end of 2027.

But then they noticed Fuentes and Candace Owens views out the ying-yang so they started testing the 'just asking questions' routine and noticed they got more views when they went with some occasional joo-hate.

It's probably more complicated than that but it would explain some of their moves over the past year.

Bin the Navy: Trump Announces Iran's Navy Now Sleeps With the Fishes;
US Bombs the "Assembly of Experts" As It Attempts to Choose a New Ayatollah

I mean, come on. Even if you're a pro-Iran antisemite like Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly, you have to admit it's pretty funny to bomb the "Assembly of Experts" as they debate who should be the next Ayatollah to be killed within days.

As Iran's ruling clerics moved to fill the power vacuum left by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, Israeli warplanes struck at the heart of the regime's leadership -- targeting a gathering reportedly convened to choose his successor.

Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the Israeli Air Force hit a site in the city of Qom where members of Iran's powerful Assembly of Experts had assembled. The 88-member clerical body is constitutionally responsible for appointing the country's supreme leader, and according to Fox News, the strike came as votes were being counted to name Khamenei's replacement.

Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency claimed the structure struck overnight was an outdated building no longer used by the assembly. Images circulating online from Qom show a heavily damaged structure reduced to rubble.

Khamenei's death Saturday triggered immediate constitutional procedures requiring the Assembly of Experts to act "in the shortest time possible" to select a new leader. Iran's ISNA news agency reported that the body had indicated the process "won't take long." Still, Reuters noted that officials may delay announcing a successor amid fears that any newly elevated figure would quickly become a target for U.S. or Israeli forces.

Trump also announced the complete destruction of Iran's Gulf of Oman fleet.

Iran's naval footprint in the Gulf of Oman has been wiped out, according to United States Central Command, which announced Monday that every Iranian warship positioned in the waterway at the start of Operation Epic Fury has now been destroyed.

On the third day of the campaign, the command posted a blunt update: "Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman, today they have ZERO."

The message was unmistakable. Tehran's long-running harassment of commercial vessels in the region, CENTCOM said, is over. "Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned American and global economic prosperity for more than 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it."

I don't know if that means their entire fleet. Do they have a separate Strait of Hormuz fleet?

One of Iran's only working weapons is its fleet of Shahid drones. (At least when Israel isn't stealing them to make false flag attacks on Tucker's beloved Qatar.)

The ship that carried these drones, for use in naval warfare, was sunk.


It's a tough day for Tucker Qatarlson:

2) There could be a civil war
3) Iran could take over

Only really #3 should have been a concern. A civil war would be good - various factions of your enemies fighting each other means they can't bother you.

Problem was much of the Neocon nonsense that the war was about "spreading democracy" and it being some humanitarian mission. That Iraq was going to be this "city on a hill" and change the Middle East.

Looking back, it really was all stupid. Even if Saddam had chemical weapons, etc.

No, we pretty much knew all their capital ships and those are gone. With no air cover, surface ships are simply targets. They do have the irregular speed boat swarms but unclear how those work in an active war environment with very permissive rules of engagement to shoot them from far way.

They are always available to the highest bidder, but they will switch sides on a dime if the incentives change. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in the same war.

As soon as it's clear who's going to win, they Qatari's immediately proclaim how much they always hated their old partners and how much they truly Love and Respect their new partners, the winners. That's who the Qatari's are.

140 Iran bragged about having a "mosquito fleet"; about 1500 glorified speedboats with .50 cal guns and a few missile launchers on them, kind of similar to the drug running speedboats in the carribean. Problem they have is that an A-10 could take out 20 or 30 of them in a single pass, they've got no defensive capabilities whatsoever - and if the USAF has been able to catch them in port, then they're already gone.

It does my heart good to see that stupid Baghieri gone, their supposed drone carrier. They took an old cargo ship and put a plywood flattop on it and said "look we have a carrier too!" No defenses, no escorts. No surprise that all it was one F-18 and one missile and bye bye, Baghieri.

Appeals to international law are really just small countries telling big countries what they are allowed to do.

Without an overarching actual governmental structure, though (which I'd never want on that scale), it's just manipulation.

International law is a joke and trash and should be laughed at when it shows its face in public. What matters in international geopolitics is power.

And America has a lot of power that it allowed small countries to bully it into not using for decades.

144 I think it's a mistake to dismiss them. They're smart, hard working, and educated, and there are an awful lot of them. They've made incredible progress in the last 20-30 years, just not as much as they claimed.


As a point to consider, when Chinese influence peddling in DC started to come to light in the late 90s, early 00s it wasn't considered seriously, in part because China was just a weak regional power.

So I do have to agree that they have made significant strides. But the problem is the endemic corruption in their culture. This is common in third world countries and this they have not addressed. This means while they have dramatically improved their industrial capabilities, one shouldn't trust a damn think a Chinese business claims their products can do.

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

Although China's fertility rate dropped below replacement way back in 1991, past population growth and a stabilization of the fertility rate meant that their number of births was fairly stable for about two decades through 2017. It wasn't until 2018 that births began cratering, due to a combination of further fertility decline and the previous fertility decline catching up to them. This means that China has some years left to be quite dangerous, though the demographic clock is ticking.

One company I worked at wanted to enter the Chinese market, but Chinese law said you had to partner with a local Chinese company.

So we did...and the Chinese company stole our IP and started directly competing with us and drove us to mostly abandon the Chinese market.

200 The part of the Iranian navy that I am concerned about is the part that so far seems to be largely unaccounted for: their diesel submarines. They had at least 4 of these.

One was evidently in drydock at Bandar Abbas, so we might assume that it got taken out. That leaves the other 3.

Diesel boats are very quiet when underwater and operating on battery power, so much so that in multiple exercises with our allies who possess this kind of sub they have been able to slip through a carrier's escort screen and get close enough to take pictures through a periscope.

That's torpedo range.

I'll rest more comfortably when we account for the Iranian diesel boats. Until then, we have to hope that the SSNs that are escorting our CVBGs will be able to sniff out any of them that might be lurking about in the Gulf of Oman.

205 U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus. Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military (by Jonathan Larsen)

"A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer."

It's not a quote from that war criminal, Hegshit, though it's not beyond something that ghoul would say, I would bet.

Am I in a leftist bubble? I dont know ANYONE happy about us in Iran. I guess im glad ive surrounded myself with good people, but most identify as liberal or just a democrat. Maybe democrat socialist.

Looking at Iran and saying its women are going to be liberated by Trump invading, is like seeing the boarding school in the movie Matilda and saying its students are going to be liberated by Epstein breaking in.

The Persian Gulf is shallow, so I'm not sure the subs could hide there.

The Persian Gulf (also known as the Arabian Gulf) is a relatively shallow body of water.
The most commonly cited and widely accepted figure for its average depth is 50 meters (approximately 164 feet). This value appears consistently in reliable sources like Wikipedia, World Atlas, Nations Online, and various educational/geographical references.

For context, the maximum depth is generally given as about 90 meters (around 295–300 feet), though some sources note slightly higher values (up to ~100–110 meters) near the entrance at the Strait of Hormuz.

I think, along with AH Lloyd, that Xi cannot afford a competent military because it presents a clear and present danger to him. Saddam ditto--his handpicked Republican Guard was faithful personally to him but his general army sucked. Iran seems to be demonstrating the same weakness because political loyalty to a shitty group of politicians or one shitty despot means that you cannot have personal competence at your job as military chief. It presents a clear and present danger to those types to overturn them.

So these governments divide and conquer, rely on cronyism and faithfullness rather than competence, and ruthlessly get rid of those smart enough and competent enough to pose a threat to the country's leadership.

They shipped junk because that was their market, mostly due to labor costs I won't go into. Old japanese tools and things are very high quality in domestic market.

Chinese are fast learners, and can probably make quality, but they are a very very very low trust society. If they can sell you crap, they will. They will cheat on materials, certification, IP, etc. They do because that is their culture after decades of communism and probably before as coolies.

Another thing that is not understood by most is that when you get stuff made in China from an American company it is the American company designing the shit to be junk, the supplier is just making it to spec, junk spec. That or the company has terrible quality problems. It is their responsibilty to manage that.

Posted by: Archimedes

Trajectory is downwards Archimedes. And that is an old problem with wares from China even back when the Emperor sat on the throne. The merchants and producers would put out excellent product at first to get buyers and then repeatedly cheapen the product until it quit selling. Then rinse and repeat with a new line. Those factories that have dual Western and Chinesium lines like for tools have Western QA teams for the Western goods, and very little if no QA for those Chinesium lines.

So quality variance on the Chinesium no name brands is simply rolling the dice. You might get good, you might get crap, but by the time you complain to Amazon, that vendor has folded and renamed itself something else.

And lastly, the recent years have not be kind to Chinese mfg profits and they have been cheapening every single product due to collapsing profit rates. Japan's quality trajectory was up, China's is at best stable for a few but the rest of the products downward.

The Japanese had regulations about prisoners of war dating from when they first fought against white men, in the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905. ... Prisoners of war of the emperor, the Japanese regulations said, were to be treated with a spirit of goodwill, never subjected to cruelty or humiliation, et cetera. And that is how the Russians were treated.

In 1907 the Japanese took part in an international conference at The Hague, where they agreed to the terms of a white man's convention about the treatment of POWs.

Not the point here. And FWIW, about 90 percent of Taiwanese populations are not native Chinese as such but more mutts and not surprisingly due to long Japanese occupation and influence are a hybrid culture. Only about 10 percent origin from those that fled the Chicoms and a lot of domestic politics there turns on that fact. Kai-Shek and his one China bullshit was not a favorite of the indigenous Taiwanese and that is still reflected in their political parties.

But, I am referring to a well known accounts of china and porcelain goods when traders brought them from to the West. Quality would start up fine and then deteriorate. Happened on goods like spices, tea, etc. as well which is why the Brits, in part, started plantations in India for tea.

406 Yeah, the Gulf of Oman is between the famous Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea (basically, the Indian Ocean), so this basically means that the Iranian Navy is penned up inside the Persian Gulf.

I'd guess that means that any threat the Iranian Navy might have posed to the US carrier group in the Arabian Sea has been extinguished. Maybe the carrier group can move somewhat closer to Iran now (which probably makes the carrier group even more powerful).

It doesn't seem to say anything about what this means as far as traffic through the Strait, except that a ship doesn't have to worry AFTER getting through the straight towards the ocean. Perhaps that area will be the next to be "cleaned up".

So it sounds like solid progress - an important milestone in the Naval part of this operation that came pretty quickly.

Trump: Tucker and Megyn Aren't MAGA -- Trump Is MAGA. Whatever Tucker Carlson Says It Has No Effect On Me.

Tucker is literally repeating the exact same propaganda as the pro-Ummah communist Ryan Grim. Over the past few days, Iran has shot missiles and sent its Shahid drones to attack all of the Gulf States.

In fact, Iran officially announced this was their policy: To attack all "economic zones" in the Middle East, chiefly energy production, I guess to compel the Gulf States and Saudis to rescue them from the US and Israel. Or to just punish them for supporting the war against them.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states have long been not-too-secretly acting with the US and even Israel against Iran, the real country that's "at war with seven of its neighbors," as Nazi crank and fat nepo baby drunk Tucker Carlson would say.

saudiarabiasupportwaragainstiran.jpg

This is inconvenient to the Gay Communists' claims that Iran is an innocent victim who Didn't Do Nuffin', so they're claiming that Akshually, all of those attacks by Iranian Shahid drones and missiles are False Flag Israeli attacks:


Drop Site news is funded by George Soros and foreign Islamists.

And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson is claiming. His paymasters in Qatar were hit by Iranian missiles and drones, so Tucker claims... akshually there are Mossad agents planting bombs in the country where I'm "buying" a house to blame it on Iran.


Inconvenient to his claim: Qatar's own Foreign Minister addressed this made-up slander he's pushing and said there is no evidence nor any reports of "cells" of Mossad agents planting bombs.

And Qatar is announcing they'll be taking action against Iran, too.

Not Israel. Iran.




Megyn Kelly, who enthusiastically supported transgenderism for children when she was being paid by NBC "News," now eagerly pushes Nazi claims now that she's in with the Nazi podcast bros.

Lee Smith
@LeeSmithDC

She's saying Trump is controlled by Jews. She's an anti-Jew fanatic. And it doesn't matter to me whether she's sincerely antisemitic or if she's jumped on the Jew hate bandwagon to profit from Jew hate -- Megyn Kelly is a pig alongside the rest feeding from the same trough.

Now Trump makes it clear to MAGA -- Tucker and Megyn are not MAGA.

Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra

🚨 President Trump torches Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson in new remarks on Monday night:

"MAGA is Trump -- MAGA's not the other two," Trump said in reference to Carlson and Kelly.

Trump says Carlson "can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me."

On Kelly, Trump said: "Megyn was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me. And so, you know, some people are against -- and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn't like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians."

trumpontuckerandmegyn.jpg

For years, I was told that if I had any criticisms of Trump at all, or had any questions about his policy choices, I was a neocon traitor who just wanted to make Bill Kristol the president.

Well, for the "Trump Is Always Right" Contingent -- doesn't opposing Trump now and claiming he's Controlled By Jews make you the neocon Jew Traitors who just want Bill Kristol as president?

Nah, let me guess: You guys know exactly when disagreeing with Trump is treason, and you also know the exact moment that agreeing with Trump is also treason. And of course you know that Trump is now a Traitor to MAGA.

You guys just know. It's not that you have stunted, childlike intellects and make up whatever illogical "rules" needed at any moment to just claim you're right, no matter what the facts are. It's not just that you're immature, unsophisticated morons who cannot "think" in any terms except for endless embarrassing Appeals to Authority, and you just pick which Authority is actually authoritative depending on who you need to be the authority. Yesterday, Trump was the Highest Possible Authority, today, Tucker Carlson is, and Trump's a traitor.


Now go ahead, Tucker Suckboys, tell me that Tucker Carlson passing around claims he got off of Stormfront and from the Unz reader doesn't make him a Nazi-Nazi.

And then tell me that Cavernous Nostrils makes some really good points about Erika Kirk helping the Jews murder her husband because only Charlie Kirk stood in the way of strikes on Israel.

12 In fact, Iran officially announced this was their policy: To attack all "economic zones" in the Middle East, chiefly energy production, I guess to compel the Gulf States and Saudis to rescue them from the US and Israel. Or to just punish them for supporting the war against them.

=====

Rubio gave an insight into the reasoning.

Iran was so fast building a preventative dome of conventional weaponry that it was soon becoming impossible to pierce it to stop the nuclear ambitions. Nuclear ambitions that Iran was making very clear that they still had in their negotiations with Witkoff.

The US offered free nuclear fuel for reactors forever. Iran turned it down because they wanted to enrich.

So, they either dealt with this now, when they could manage it, or they dealt with it later, when it was no longer manageable.

There is a principled argument to be made for isolationism. None of those above (and others in social media) are making that argument. And when in fact a war exists, then you want your country to win the war quickly so as peace can return even if you are an isolationist. You don't fantasize about a sekret Jews mind control or blackmail over the president.

That seems to be shockingly absent in past wars and it specifically comes from groyper fever swamps which are in fact, anti Semitic and partially generated and paid for by foreign powers.

And it is about the only way that Iran can influence the war right now as they get hammered--have their de facto proxies in the West in social media make their arguments for them to try to kill political support in the US for striking Iran.

Islam was the first enemy our new country ever had to fight. (We weren't a country during the Revolutionary War yet.)

IF there were no Israel, Iran would still want us dead.

Israel is something that offends them more because they have freed a land that was conquered by Islam.

But even without that, they'd still hate us. Islam ONLY responds to force that they cannot counter. Then they will be quiet. They won't ever stop hating you, but they'll fear you.

But, I'm sure that the Barbary pirates attacked out countrymen because of TEH JEWS too.

I accepted "MAGA" as not just a cult of personality around Trump, so the broader claim which Trump, could serve. Real progress, and not just "progress" along a narrative, which is what "progressives" are for.

What held me in place is people calling "Make America Great Again" essentially racist and jingoist, without seeing the broader implications that it's an idea that Trump can serve or diminish.

And he has, by far, served that.

Tucker was instrumental when (it appears) Fox producers could keep him in check. But now he just flounders about. But he can have his own idea about what makes "America great" and moving toward those ends.

I have no interest in being in a cult of personality of Trump. And MAGA is what Trump says it is.

Look at what has happened here were Islamists can buy influence with Tucker, and probably the others as well. Why? Well, if you are a leftwing talking head there are NGOs, corporate gigs, FNM positions, and all sorts of ways for laundered tax dollars to end up in your pocket.

For right leaning figures sure you can have a podcast or show where you hock gold, reverse mortgages, or robot insurance, but that's not the income stream you can tap into if you start moving left...

I've confronted people on the net saying things like that with the fact that *Trump* had to change his tack on "The Jab". It's not life if Trump praised the "The Jab", his "followers" had to follow, per the narrative progs had dreamed up to "other" Trump supporters.

I remember even hearing that Trump supporters must be ignorant of Trump promoting the Jab. Even though, it's Trump supporters at his rallies, sitting on their hands during Trump patting himself on the back for "Operation Lightspeed".

I'll give him that it was impressive and if you measure it by the timescale the Dems were otherwise lying to him about (~2 years), getting it done in less than one is impressive, even if it just served to dup him into releasing what the ghouls in Medicine have wanted to try for a long time.

So, even though there is a good reason for that to make Trump feel Under-time/under-budget on that scale, his "fans" didn't join in. And Trump had to ask John Rich why that was.

This philistinism and historical ignorance was at the heart of Joe Biden’s case against Trump.

His slow-moving, self-admiring, politically dysfunctional administration achieved none of these things.

That having been said, the only thing I can attribute this overwhelming and seemingly timeless, Jewish hatred to is...Envy. Plain and simple. The Jews believe in and have strong religious and family values and a strong work ethic and those traits generally lead to success in life, in my not so humble opinion. Hell, it's self evident! But, because of that success many people - who DON'T HAVE THOSE TRAITS - hate them. All throughout history.


If you hate Jews you need to take a good hard look at yourself. And what you see may be revealing. But only if you have the integrity to admit it.

Where we concur with Trump, we're slavish. And where we are not slavish, well, that's just kind of dumb, seeing that we "worship Trump".

129 One of the instrumental tasks that Saudi Arabia has been doing under the radar has to do with an extension of Iran (The Houthis). They have been very agressive over the last couple of months in placating Southern Yemen. They've held peace talk negotiations in Saudi Arabia that resulted in the primary of the leader of the Houthis going on the run to Somalia. As a result of their efforts, Southern Yemen (and the Houthis) have settled down, and are not likely to respond to Iran's calls for them to complicate the matter on their behalf.

Part of the treatments which were all across the board, not only the vax, was monoclonal antibodies.

I had a case of covid in 2023 I could not kick for months, monoclonal antibodies helped me heal finally. In my case, covid caused massive blood pressure spikes on a random basis up to and including stroke levels like 220 over 140 and I had to pop Clonidine as soon as I felt a headache come on. Fortunately, my arteries and veins were clear and still are more or less from imaging. It was all the vid doing that.

And monoclonal antibodies saved lives with no afteraffects. Remember that when people blame Trump for the vax as well.

It's painful to remember...

But on the whole his instincts are amazing. It's kinda like El Rushbo used to say... he was popular because he said things people already believed, he wasn't brainwashing anyone. Same with Trump; he's popular because he's actually doing things we've all wanted for decades

If you really want to dig into the finances, first, take a look at her responders on X and look at their profiles. Are they US based? Some of these grifters are getting paid by X for drawing people to the platform via engagement.

So given the large reservoir of Jew and Israeli hatred in the world and how X has become the de facto news source for the world, being anti Jewish and anti Israeli pays with all these Achmed, etc. that often adopt western nics reading, reposting, and liking the anti semitic posts.

The other unspoken shoe to drop is that Steve Bannon and his little pool of influencers are purposefully trying to obscure the fact that Steve Bannon routinely communicated with Epstein even more than Reid Hoffman did and had all sorts of plots mentioned to trying to oust Trump in Term 1 and replace him with someone else.

222 Maybe take a step back and consider what the US is doing to our adversaries around the globe?

1) China is taking a major hit economically at a moment of crisis. Cheap Iran oil paid for with weapons and goods has been cut. Venezuela's oil production is being diverted to US refineries and sanctions being lifted.

When I was a young skull full of mush I was absolutely crazy for the Chicago Bears; it was the era of Walter Payton and the Super Bowl Shuffle.

’s most recent video about the US strikes on Iran in which Tucker says, without any evidence, that Saudi Arabia and Qatar arrested Mossad agents yesterday who were “trying to sow chaos” and set off bombs.

Tucker of course didn’t show any evidence. He just bashes the Jews and America, so the Arabs love him.

"Guerillas in the sea of the people" is
a core tenet of Maoist revolutionary warfare, emphasizing that insurgents must blend into and rely on a supportive civilian population for survival, logistics, and intelligence. The analogy, often phrased as "the guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea," allows smaller, weaker forces to exhaust superior opponents through protracted, asymmetrical, and unconventional comb

260 Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf.

Ooh, ooh, I know the back story on this.

Lloyds of London is the #1 insurer for most shipping. They've historically had near-clairvoyant accuracy on pricing even relatively unlikely risks. It's widely believed that it's because their London HQ is very near MI6's and they get intelligence nobody else has.

Fast forward to today. They've cancelled all policies involving traversal of the Strait of Hormuz. Smart people have noticed this coincides with Trump and the CIA doing things without involving the UK government and MI6. Meaning Lloyd's is probably as much in the dark as Starmer on what's really going on there and what Trump and Bibi and bin Sultan are planning.

Ditto.

Calling this comment out because it needs to be seen again.

MAGA is two parts: First, it's about becoming better, greater. Second, that we were in a better position before, but have lost our way. Grandpa driving us into the ditch, so to speak, and having to pull the car out, fix the tire, and get it moving again.

It's not about spurned lovers or bitchy high school girl cliques they should have grown out of 30 years ago. Unfortunately, that's what's guiding a bunch like Candice and Tucker - what they're against (TRUMP! JUICE!) rather than what they are for and how they're going about to get there.

A Virginia judge dealt another blow on Thursday to Democrats’ redistricting efforts, blocking an April 21 referendum while the case is heard in court.

Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. granted a motion from the Republican National Committee that sought to block the April referendum, arguing against the timing and phrasing of the ballot question that would be posed to voters.

The emergency injunction is in effect until March 18, though early voting on the referendum is scheduled to start March 6.

There's been an amusing (for us) turn of events with MBS. He was terrified of his oil industry being targeted by Iran, so he took assurances from them that they would leave him alone if he would not allow his bases to be used to attack them. He went out on a limb and looked like he was bowing to Iranian demands and not supporting Trump in this.

And then Iran immediately attacked him anyways! So now he's not just mad at being attacked, he feels that the Iranians personally made a fool of him in front of Trump, and nothing pisses a man like MBS off more than having that done to him in public.

So now he's not just back on board with the US, he wants revenge for the personal humiliation the Iranians gave to him. Should be fun to see what he does.

Well, Trump is unique in my experience in that even when I think he gets something wrong, eventually he turns out to have been right most of the time. I first noticed that when he was saying birthright citizenship was BS, which I was SURE was unconstitutional. After I heard the arguments and learned the history, I found out he was spot on - I was the one who had been fooled all these decades.

The same might be true on tariffs, although I doubt you can really fund the whole govt on tariffs.

Where I think he's downright crazy is regarding his envy of "quick trials" in China. This is a guy who was railroaded into felony convictions, and he wants the govt to have the power to try and KILL you in short order? Not smart, I think.

Curious cases, both of them. Both were willing mouthpieces for the GOP establishment, making countless millions doing it, but both have spoken out AGAINST that establishment, once it screwed them.

Megyn, of course, was famously at the tip of the spear in FOX's attempt to derail Trump's first election (it blew up in her face, naturally).

Even when Tucker would be pro-Trump, it was in the condescending way (that I also see in the articles here, BTW). He was literally born into the Washington establishment, and it often shows, even as he criticizes it (sometimes viciously). He's on THAT SIDE, even as he complains about how they do things.

They both have been refreshing and convincing voices at times, but now they seem to be getting back to their "roots" as a couple of media whores. The question is, who are they really working for these days?

I love his frowny, furrowed eyebrows. That's how he looks, I am sure, when he's on his thrown and constipated with a bowling ball from stress.

Megyn I did not trust since 2016,bleeding from every orifice, altho I let my guard down briefly. Then, with the Guthrie kidnapping wahoo, she had a crazy click hungry chick on who spread the false information (from a source) that it was the son-in-law. I hope she gets sued as well as Megyn. Poor Megyn needs a new hairdo and seems anorexic or bulemic on top of other stuff going on in her mid-life crisis or perimenopause.

Owens one day is going to start pulling her hair out in clumps on camera, unless it is a wig. If a wig she'll resort to pulling out her eyelashes one by one (which is called trichotillomania). While singing mournfully that she's gonna jump down, turn around and,"Pick a bale of cotton."

In reality, AOC's nostrils disturb me more than Owen's. I still say her nose looks like she glued a squashed frog to her face.

The mastermind of the whole Beverly Hills Bank Clampett swindle was the one person who controlled the endless series of misunderstandings, who managed the deranged President and chief depositor, who knew and went on a date with the bank's chairman of the board, who was connected to all people who they were in contact with and who undoubtedly ended up with all the money.

433 Looks like Events have taken on a life of their own and are moving too fast for any way to save that regime anymore. That tends to happen in situations like this.

The only way I could see it coming to a stop is if the regular army (NOT the IRGC) announces that they want to take over leadership and depose the Mullahs, we might let them try.

But they should have made that move already if they were going to. If they don't, then they can just go down the toilet with the rest of them.

His brother Buckley on X is actually worse and probably saying the things out loud that even Tucker is afraid to say. Spazzing out in real time and his puffy face and reddish complexion is similar to an alkie.

A cousin of my grandfather's was a Nazi collaborator in the Netherlands. When my Dad's cousin visited the hometown in the Old Country, the inhabitants gave him the side eye because of his surname -- same as that of the collaborator, of course.

So sad to hear that.

He seemed pretty underrated, if you ask me. He was kind of the King of the B Movie, I think, at least of a certain genre. I also remember him showing up to play Ronald Reagan, running for POTUS, in a episode of the TV show Fargo. A candidate making his way through ND early in his campaign.

Larger-than-life, over-the-top roles, in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way. The King of Camp, perhaps. I can still see him taking on some sort of evil with his chain saw.

443 Nah my hope is that we just retain the shitty regime in place with more compliant mullahs in charge.

The best thing would be a regime change with an iron fisted puppet in place to brutalize the Muslims at every turn, but we would never do that, and it would mean we're trying to overlay democracy on... Iran, of all places.

No thanks!
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at March 03, 2026 03:54 PM (BI5O2)

I prefer it to be a military dude, he'd care more if his toys are broken. Keep the mullahs in the holy city to issue warnings about pork and how to arrange turbans. It was a mistake to make them the figurehead of the revolution.

Those people never forget. When I rucked the Normandy routes inland I met so many magnificent people in the French countryside. The old timers invited me into their houses, fed me, gave me wine and regaled me with the greatest stories. When they knew my relatives were part of the unit they couldn’t do enough for me.

Remember, these folks are Twelvers. Their utopic vision is based on an apocalyptic war against ALL the heretics and infidels. It might not be so political as their "When no other command authority exists, fire on these targets so they will launch the apocalyptic attacks" plan. Their doomsday plan.

450 360 The case could be made that Barbara Eden was one of the 5 hottest women to ever appear on television, and not just as "Jeannie".

Elizabeth Montgomery wasn't in her league. Tina Louise may have been though.
Posted by: Crusader at March 03, 2026 03:42 PM (TN0g+)


I was always a "Mary Ann" guy, myself.

I don't know what it was about Elizabeth Montgomery - she didn't have the fabulous curves of Barbara Eden or Raquel - maybe her Southern charm (even without the Southern accent)? But she definitely had SOMETHING that made all the guys fall in love with her. Maybe Eden had a sort of "girl next door" thing going on, besides being all around gorgeous. Perhaps the best of both, from the other two? But Montgomery you could take more seriously - lacked the dimwitted blonde thing.

451 If W had toppled Iraq, flown into Baghdad, and then given a speech that said, "I have conquered with my mighty sky forces because your previous leader displeased me. I shall come again if your next displeases me."

And then he'd left the nation, bringing all of our military assets with him.

It might have been a somewhat popular foreign entanglement.

454 235 >>>Some of the reports coming out of Iran are confirming that targets including local Basij groups are being smoked. You have to realize the significance of that intelligence. They are largely groups with a footprint smaller than a local police station and there hasn’t been any collateral damage. The precision of those strikes with loitering munitions tells you we are in the end game already.

Posted by: ace at March 03, 2026 03:18 PM (1wjle)

My impression is that the preliminaries, if you will, are being gotten out of the way. Removing the leadership, plus anything that might be able to hurt the US and Israeli militaries during the next phase. The Iranian Navy and Air Force, anti-air defenses. Bunker busters will be hitting ballistic missile storage and production sites more, and then it'll be open season on any bad guys foolish enough to not surrender.
