Wednesday Night ONT - June 24, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will reading the content earn you free Triscuits? No. Will it entertain and inform while you eat your Triscuits? Perhaps. Only one way to find out. [Top photo: Carla Manneh]
A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country, and her owners are asking for the public's help to bring her home. The Real County Animal Rescue-Shelter posted on social media Monday that Cedar Hollow Ranch is searching for "Gracie," a missing giraffe last seen west of Leakey. According to the post, Gracie has rounded ears and was recently spotted on a game camera in the area. Her owner is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Gracie's capture and safe return.Is it really that difficult to spot a giraffe? They're tall and don't look like anything else. Are there herds of giraffe in Texas and this one blends in? Maybe Texas giraffes are more skilled in the art of camouflage than the average giraffe.
We rarely describe our products as essential or practical, but this Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery is both! You get eight stalks of 1-1/4" tall, soft vinyl celery. During the day, you'll enjoy the reminder of celery superiority, but at night, this celery really shines. It glows in the dark! And, just for clarity's sake, the celery "stalk" officially refers to the whole bunch of celery, each piece you pull off is referred to as a celery rib.
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex is working as assistant to the assistant's assistant coach for the US World Cup soccer team. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Is anyone smart and adventurous enough to click on the lurker link?

Since so many of our citizens are just too moral and sophisticated to attend, maybe we should invite them to our State Fair.
That would sure give them something to talk about later.

Working for 5yrs in an ED/Trauma unit made me think this way.
I am enjoying so much the UK and Europeans loving the USA and saying basically fake news told them not to love us, our food, our hospitality and our college stadiums. Some don't want to leave. I don't watch the games I watch the fan's youtubes.
I think we should have a revolving deportation turnstile and allow good people who will love America in for every barbarian we ship off to El Salvador or wherever they came from.
What's not to like with people who like Chick fil A? Or the National Anthem?

Just a short hop to Oklahoma. We were on the watch.
Wild animal preserves and such like do leak critters now and then. Kangaroos. Tigers. Always amusing, in a "hope they don't eat me" value of amusing.
One of my favorite stories was a few years ago, an older Oklahoma feller is driving along at night on a rural road, when he suddenly shouts to his wife, "ELEPHANT!" I can imagine recognizing such an unexpected beast, even reacting in time not to hit it (as we're used to dodging deer or loose cattle or horses), but I think I'd need a several seconds of processing time to be able to verbally identify it.
"Looky that, honey! Don't that look like one o' them gee-raffs blocking the road…?" 💥crash!💥

My husband and I have found the most horrible, idiotic, nauseating series to watch called Sweet Magnolias. It wins in all categories of very bad cinema. This should tell you how bad it is (even worse than Virgin River) for dialogue and acting and make up. We mock them and blow through the ghey parts that make us gag.
Because, you see, there is a gay couple, of course there is.Plus 3 married couples who always have problems and idiotic dialogue of "unpacking problems" or a tequila night where the women "pour it out." One woman, bless her, is the size of a tank. And their make up is not good at all. Have mercy!
Another woman has the teeth of a horse and a fake "refined" Southern drawl we mock a whole lot. She's probably our favorite and has about 5 hairstyles per show. She just got married and then sang to her groom at the reception to our glee.
My husband calls them the Fagnolias vs Magnolias. We are not even sure why we subject ourselves to this punishment, yet we do. It is very bad and if renewed I do believe it is a sign of end times.

One British guy went to a Texas rodeo where cowboys were bucked off steers, then a steer's horn threw one guy several feet on his head.
The Brit guy said Americans are made different. That that would have stopped the rodeo and the ambulance would haul him off. He said instead a few boys grabbed him, sat him against the wall, and gave him a beer.
I had to laugh at what they think. Texas has made a huge impression on them in both diet and outrageous patriotism. Thanks, y'all.

Haven't been in a tornado but hurricanes are fairly common around here. Fortunately, they usually have lost most of their power by the time the get to this area. Still, no joke.
Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if.

******************
I have an unscientific theory of waiting after a big one somewhere, for a big one on the opposite side of the world. So far it holds true as the plates settle or whatnot.
The largest I've been in was a 6 at 7am when we were still in bed. Instead of staying in bed, on abdomens with pillows over our heads, we ran to the landing and watched the chandelier swing. Not good. I figure we'd be found two floors down in the basement like a couple after Pompeii.
My first, in college, was over a 5 and I was in a basement apt alone. In the kitchen I felt like I was on a ship and thought, "This is weird, I have had no beers to get the spins." Noted the electric clock cord swaying. The house was 100yrs old and I heard walls creaking.
With every earthquake there is a boom before you feel it. Then a bit of sort of vertigo.
Called my friend who verified an earthquake and neither of us knew what to do, being from MS. At the time you were supposed to stand in a doorway, which I think is old news now.

We evacuated six times in 20yrs from hurricanes on the Atlantic. Barrier island. If hit "just right" the Intercoastal and Atlantic would meet over our house. I'm a great swimmer but we decided we did not want to drown in our own home. It gets old to evacuate and in 2005 we did 3 times in about six weeks. Got hit twice by a CAT 3 with little damage. The house was built like a bunker but we took no chances: contractor said it could withstand a tornado with rebar in concrete block every few feet, hurricane code roof, metal shades on every door and window, etc.
Tornadoes, though. Oh, boy. I HATE them. Waiting to basically die if you don't have a shelter. Two years ago one missed us visiting my mother in MS by about 10miles as we watched on radar at night. I hate tornadoes.
Earthquakes? I guess if that's how I go it's better than watching your death on radar.

It’s the actual shaker. The ground turns liquid and waves. Actual waves going down the street. My dad was on the golf course during the Nisqually quake in 2001. He said the fairway rolled.
I looked out our living room window with my Marine in my arms and my oldest clinging to my leg in an archway in the house. The waves rolled down the street. It was amazing. And kind of beautiful.

The pony motor starters on Cats had megaphones instead of mufflers; on a cold morning you could hear them yowl from a mile away, and they had to warm up and really scream to turn all that mass over. The Sixty models started another way: there was a deep hole in the flywheel, exposed of course, into which you fitted a steel bar about six feet long. Walk her up onto top dead center, preheat the glow plugs, prime, and yank that sucker for all you're worth. If it fired, it flung the bar out, sometimes 20, 30 feet away. Heads up. And beller, O Jesus.
Once you had one running, you did not shut it down.

About 100 yards away. The other was in Nebraska. I knew it was close, couldn't see it, so pulled over and hoped it didn't land on me. It didn't.

Men and women are tough in different ways. I firmly believe women have a higher physical pain threshold than men.
I believe men are tougher psychologically.
I think men are calmer in big situation chaos. They can focus and take emotion out of the picture and make things happen. Things that may not be peaceful.
Women protect. And soothe and nurture.

There is so much variation in people; I was one who always felt calmer in a dangerous emergency situations; it was a comfort to have no doubts, to know exactly what to because it was an imperative.
But I have been around men who were smart, seemed like any other; but when an emergency strikes they fall to pieces and can do nothing.
I’m reminded of the report of General Rosecrans after the collapse of his army at Chickamauga; an observer reporting to Lincoln that as the reports of the disaster came in, “the General began to wander about like a duck that had been hit upon the head.”

My grandmother was knocked out of bed at the rest home due to the Easter quake of 2010. She was recovering from a fall that shattered vertebrae in her spine from a fall (she didn't like how my uncle, her son, cleaned the floor, so at 95 she decided she'd do it herself and slipped and fell), just to get tossed out of bed by a quake. She survived, hit her 96th birthday, then passed in September of that year...

DH slept right through the strong 2014 South Napa quake (6.0); I was hundreds of miles north in Eureka at the time. He thought the cat jumped on him and went right back to sleep. Had to do a lot of clean-up at my mother's house after that one; Mom's cupboards were affixed to the east-west running walls of the kitchen. As the shaking ran strongly north-south, every glass in her house broke as they were flung out of the cupboards. There was shattered glass everywhere. The MIL's cupboards were on east-west walls and she had one glass crack when it tipped over, but nothing leapt out of her cabinets. Her hot water tank tipped and had to be replaced, though.

I've felt many over the years, but I'm not ashamed to admit that one scared me.
I can only imagine what the 9.2 in '64 must've been like (I was alive then, but not yet in Alaska). The stories are something else.
One old timer said he was sitting on his back porch when it hit. He had a row of trees along his property line, so he normally couldn't see the mountains. Suddenly he could. He had just enough time to think "wtf?" and the wave reached him.
Another old timer was in the Elmendorf base hospital with a broken back. He said the wall of his room split apart, he saw a terrified moose running like a bat out of hell, then the wall went back together.

The one issue with seismic engineering is if you design for a 7.2, and only a 7.2 for economy, and get a 7.5, then they all get flattened.

It's about structural resonances, building quality, and building foundation. Mexico City, 1985, more than 10K died from a quake hundreds of miles away near Acapulco. Why? Foundation. The city was built upon a dried lake bed, so when the quake hit, the entire area continued to shake like a bowl of jello, making the shaking worse and longer lasting.
LA is not in very good shape for a large on on the Southern San Andreas...I've seen the simulations and they aren't pretty.

I've been through a few quakes! Last one I remember was the Easter one. Rumble-rumble, shakety-shake, we all stepped out of the house to avoid collapsing beams or whatever the quake might do. I was in another late-night quake where it was just me and the dog in the house. I called her but she wouldn't come. I was afraid something had fallen on her, but she shuffled out of somewhere and shuffled back. Never noticed a thing.
And speaking of Venezuela, I wonder how our friends the Maduros are faring.

Earthquakes in recent years have been a surprise. The bedrock we sit on means the long waves travel harder, farther. That's why that 1800s Madrid quake rang church bells in Philly. If it happened today, the lake shore land in Chicago would liquify and lots of buildings would be ruined.
🪇I've felt three quakes. That five-point-something several years ago was centered hundreds of miles away and shook our concrete house. Sounded like a semi was parked out front. I jumped out of bed to see what was going on before I realized what it was. A friend's house in Tulsa had to be re-set on its foundation. For a mere 5.x. Something my dear late grandmother in California would have slept through.

The backyard was family territory. If you came out of the house you were welcome. If you came in any other way, you were a chew toy.

It sucks being a famous detective because you never really get a break.
You go on a cruise to get away from it all and someone dies under mysterious circumstances.
You go out to the country to celebrate Christmas and your host keels over and has his prize gems stolen.
You go down to the corner store to get a newspaper and three people are dead in your neighborhood before you get home.

Best ice cream i know of right now is kroger private selections Chocolate Ganache. With a side of their vanilla bean. Amazingly good. If you like chocolate and vanilla ice cream side by side.

If you are in Wisconsin for any reason, and if you have a hankering for real ice cream, go to the Sassy Cow Creamery and collect any and all flavors. If you are polite, you can go out back and visit the baby cows. They will suck on your fingers and generally look cute.

Whoa! Talk about a severely-worded statement:
“First, we would reiterate previous comments that dumping trash onto the street and stealing public property for your own personal use are both illegal antisocial behaviors, and not what New Yorkers do. On top of all that, doing both on camera is incredibly stupid.”

Now THAT is the art of shame. Well deserved and probably effective. I don't know how that girl will face the world (sorry, hon, but you freakin' dumped a load of trash on a sidewalk so you could steal a trash can for its cuteness, not even because you needed to hold trash), and I imagine it will be a while before she gets another 6-figure job in Manhattan. She has taken her LinkedIn profile down. This will haunt her for a while.

7% of the eligible voters in NYC voted. With turnout like that, they don't even need to cheat.
Posted by: fd
===============
I was wondering what the turnout was, expected it to be low, and... really? Not 17? SEVEN PERCENT? That's almost statistically impossible. Five percent is where you hit statistical significance. Realistically, you should get 5% turnout without any votes even being cast.
Well, what can one say, except the DSA may have a verrry savvy strategy indeed, which is to gain power in places with a huge political/economic/social/cultural profile that grossly overshadows what turns out to be a very small citizens' collective voice. Like, just motivate a couple ten thousand crazies to vote for you and voila! You're in charge of a city of millions!

A team of elite civil rights attorneys announced they will represent Karmelo Anthony in the appeal of his murder conviction for fatally stabbing fellow high school athlete Austin Metcalf. Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe, veteran appellate attorney Russell Wilson, civil rights lawyer Brooke Cluse from Ben Crump Law, and others have joined forces in an effort to overturn Anthony's conviction and 35-year prison sentence, CBS News reported. They will conduct an independent review of the trial to determine whether any errors occurred during the trial in their pursuit of an appeal, the lawyers said in their announcement on Monday.

@greg_price11 3h Dan Goldman losing is truly hilarious because he has one of the most liberal voting records in Congress and is unapologetic about being willing to tell any incendiary lie about Republicans, but refused to pledge allegiance to third-world terrorists on the other side of the planet and was, therefore, not radical enough for the new Democrat base.

@FreeBeacon
Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday: They handily rejected Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old influencer with four trust funds and no actual employment history, in New York's 12th Congressional District.
Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday. Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old Kennedy scion who has never worked a real job, was handily defeated in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District, sitting in third place with less than 11 percent of the vote. George Conway, the mentally disturbed Lincoln Project cofounder and frequent guest on The Jim Acosta Show, sat in fifth, trailing not just Schlossberg but also a woman named Nina Schwalbe. Schlossberg's defeat is worth celebrating for several reasons. The Kennedy family is a toxic cabal of bloated, boat-shoed sex pests and trust-fund layabouts still living off the fortune amassed by Joseph P. Kennedy, the wealthy patriarch best known for his efforts to make peace with Adolf Hitler. Tuesday's outcome suggests the family's once-mythic reputation is in the midst of a long-overdue correction. John F. Kennedy, Schlossberg's grandfather, was the Eric Swalwell of the White House, while his great uncle Ted Kennedy was the Eric Swalwell of the U.S. Senate, a reputation he cemented in 1985 by making a "waitress sandwich" with Chris Dodd at a local fine-dining establishment. To be fair to Swalwell, there's no evidence (that we know of) to suggest he's ever fled the scene of an accident after a woman drowned in his car. Ted Kennedy, on the other hand, continued to serve in public office until 2009, more than 40 years after Mary Jo Kopechne's death. Days before the election, Schlossberg told the Wall Street Journal he would view his loss in the primary as proof that our political system is irrevocably broken. "If I can't do it, then nobody can," he said. Indeed, if a 33-year-old Kennedy brat with four trust funds and what the New York Times described as "little traditional work experience" can lose a primary in one of the country's wealthiest congressional districts despite being endorsed by David Letterman and spending $1 million of his own inheritance, the American Dream is truly dead.
And of course ultra-cuck George Conway:
ShipwreckedcrewIf Conway had won or come close, at least some Never Trumpers might have made it official and tried grifting as Democrats. But now that it's proven that no one likes a traitor, the NeverTrumpers will have no choice but continuing their grift of pretending to be "Republicans."
@shipwreckedcrew
Kellyanne Conway served as Senior Counsel to President Trump in his first term, after having had a senior role in his campaign that went from 1% GOP support in July 2015 to winning the Presidency in November 2016. Her now ex-husband George Conway, once believing himself to be the best choice to serve as Solicitor General of the United States -- the DOJ Attorney responsible for arguments in front of the Supreme Court -- received the votes of 1 out of every 17 NY Dems who cast ballots for a new Representative in their district yesterday, finishing in 5th place. He spent $6.65 million and received 1,050 fewer votes than 4th place finisher Nina Schwalbe. She spent $457,000. They both finished behind Jack Schlossberg, reported by many in the media to be mentally ill.
Here's what USAID money was actually paying for:
Catherine HerridgeA San Francisco socialist politician took a three month "mental health leave" because she just can't even right now.
@C__Herridge STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist. Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico. Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate. Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause. Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike. This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes. Good catch first flagged Feb. 2025 via @browne_pamela

Here's a short video of this lefty basketcase.
A lefty member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who abruptly went on leave at the end of March melted into tears as she explained to her constituents Tuesday why she needed the mental health break. Supervisor Jacqueline Fielder is set to return to work next Monday, after her absence earlier in the year fueled theories on what motivated the first-term lawmaker to go missing from City Hall meetings for weeks before checking herself in for treatment. ... In a Tuesday post on Instagram, Fielder said "I left the work I love so much not because I wanted to but because my mental health demanded it." ...
She seemed to attribute her crisis to the pressures of being a politician. "At the end of the day I'm a human being and a renter, a working class candidate that is now a supervisor," Fielder said, "but I was going 100 miles a hour since early 2023 when I started the campaign for supervisor, and being a grassroots candidate is a lot of elbow grease." Her medical leave made her realize that she has colleagues and others who share the weight of representing the city with her, she said. "I'm coming clear-eyed and grounded and eager to serve in this role again," said Fielder, who ended her note on encouraging others dealing with mental health issues to also seek help or take a leave.
One of the many rioters in NYC after the Knicks' win dumped and then stole a trash can. Turns out she is -- or was -- a DEI executive at JP Morgan.
A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City's Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned. Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile. ... Sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told The Post, "This employee is no longer with the company." Báez could not be reached by The Post for comment Tuesday. Sources noted she had attended the parade in her personal capacity.I hate rioters, but I also understand that people with low IQ and poor impulse control can get "swept up" in them. I wouldn't be gleeful about her being fired except for the fact that, let's face it, she never should have had a job in the first place. So nothing lost.

A Muslim mother speaking about a book that Ladybird is promoting during Pride Month. The book is aimed at children as young as two years old and features two women - who appear to be a couple - with a baby, one of whom is wearing a hijab. Her comments echo what many parents - of any faith or none - would likely agree with: that some topics are simply too adult for very young children. She also states, quite openly, that while Muslims can of course live peacefully in a society where LGBTQ values are present, those values are not compatible with her faith. So many questions. But the one uppermost in my mind is this: will anyone dare to call this woman bigoted or transphobic? For being honest about what she believes is appropriate for young children. And for being honest about her faith. Or are such accusations reserved for other groups of people who express similar views? I'd also be very interested to hear what Zack Polanski has to say on this

The race baiters will bitch about an all-white jury but the black folks admitted that they could not be impartial. That's on them.

This depends on where you live and how long you have been at your job, if you are and employee or contractor. FMLA covers mental health issues, some states require paid leave. Some companies, if offered, would allow STD, and then LTD to cover it. But you could not be fired for this leave if you qualified for FMLA or the various and sundry state leaves.

The jury was not all white there were non white jurors on it, just no blacks because they all got voire diered off because of racial bias. While we do not know the exact racial makeup of the jury, there were multiple non whites on it according to three individuals that were in the courtroom reporting on the proceedings.

oh yes - these lawyers are just running a PR op for donations, they know there's no chance. If, as a juror, you say that you're biased, that's an automatic disqualification, that's been law for over 150 years. There's no basis in law to challenge that.
I agree with the poster who said that these black jurors intentionally disqualified themselves. They didn't want to have anything to do with convicting a black killer.

This is how the lawyer totally fucked up the defense: Karmello said in the first minutes, "well he's still alive". He thought he had stabbed him, didn't think he had killed him.
Significance - this opens up the possibility of a manslaughter plea. He had no intent to kill, it just happened, that's often the case with manslaughter. A plea under manslaughter could have gotten a sentence of 10 years, parole after 5 for good behavior. Karmello could still have had most of his 20's as a free man.
This attorney blew that off. Karmello got 35 years due to the attorney's self serving incompetence. "Tough luck, Kid!"

A lot of people are unaware of how Joe Kennedy built the family fortune. They know that he bootlegged Irish Whiskey into the US during the depression; what they don't know is that he paid for it by sending cargo ships full of tommy guns, rifles, and other small arms to the IRA in Ireland; in return they would fill his ships with all the Irish Whiskey they could carry for the return trip. Churchill knew this, which is why he hated Kennedy. Churchill knew that he was personally responsible for the murders of hundreds of British officials and servicemen in Ireland.

The bonehead Knicks fan who went viral for stealing a team-theme city trash can has returned the stolen goods — and was slapped with $175 in fines for the dirty deed.
“Home sweet home,” the sanitation department wrote on X next to a pic of the returned basket. “Welcome back! We missed you!”
The orange and blue receptacle was pilfered after an “incredibly stupid” fan – identified by sources as recently-axed JPMorgan Chase exec Angie Baez – dumped the trash onto Broadway and walked off with the city-owned receptacle, department officials told The Post.

The trouble is that SCOTUS has no discipline authority over the lower judges. So the district judges can just ignore rulings. They know they won't stand but it delays things and they'll never pay a price for their actions because Dem Senators will never vote to remove them.

Texas, DOJ Sign Joint Decree Declaring Biden's Prior "Backdoor Amnesty" to be Illegal and Void
You of course know of the Democrats' favorite strategy of sue-and-settle, whereby a friendly third party is invited to sue the Democrat government. The Democrat government gives up the case and agrees to a "consent decree" resolving the issue -- and this resolution has the force of law, despite no legislature having ever voted for it.
Well, two can play at that game. Steven Miller's organization America First Legal joined with Texas to sue the DOJ over a Biden-era policy allowing immigration judges to put immigration cases on "administrative pause," forever. Biden allowed judges who would otherwise be required to deport illegal aliens to instead "pause" the case against them, effectively granting them amnesty (and even the "right to work"). Technically, they're still illegal aliens in the middle of deportation proceedings but the reality is that those proceedings are now "paused," forever. So every illegal alien getting his deportation "paused" is effectively granted backdoor amnesty that Congress never even contemplated, let alone voted to make law. Texas and Steven Miller sued the DOJ over this blatant end-run around the actual law of the land and the DOJ said "Fair" and signed a consent decree admitting this was always illegal and now is forbidden.Judge blocks Biden-era immigration rule hours after Texas AG and Stephen Miller's group sued DOJBefore this lawless action by Biden, 130,000 cases were paused. After Biden gave his leftwing immigration judges permission to dole out personalized amnesty, the number of "paused" cases "skyrocketed" (as the judgment says) to 1.08 million. And then, a year later, it doubled again to 2.2 million.
On Monday, Ken Paxton's office asked the judge to block the rule, a request the federal agency then agreed with. The suit echoes a similar move in 2025 that killed a 24-year-old state tuition law.
A federal judge in Texas blocked a Biden administration rule on Monday that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely close a deportation case against immigrants on the same day Texas sued to stop the rule. The rule, which was adopted in 2024, allowed immigration judges to close a deportation case after hearing arguments from the federal government and the immigrant in deportation proceedings, especially if the person could qualify for a benefit that allows them to stay in the country legally. But on Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas in Wichita Falls to block the rule with U.S. Judge Reed O'Connor, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush. The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice was also co-filed by America First Legal Foundation, an organization founded by Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to President Trump who has focused on ways to limit both legal and illegal immigration to the country. America First Legal Foundation also previously filed various lawsuits representing Paxton against the Biden administration's immigration policies, which helped derail President Biden's immigration agenda in his lone term. In this latest complaint, Paxton's office said in the 43-page lawsuit that the Biden-era rule "effectively grant(s) indefinite amnesty to aliens illegally present in this country." Lawsuits usually take several months to years to settle, but in this case O'Connor ruled late on Monday in favor of Texas after the Department of Justice filed its response saying it agreed with Paxton's office.
Considering that almost everything done to secure the border during Trump’s presidency has been executive action that can be reversed, and Democrats are becoming the party of open borders & no immigration enforcement, we may see another border crisis if Dems take back the WH in… https://t.co/UFsflcIZoo

Trump pushing to bounds of power has really emboldened them. If they have enough power they'll pack the supreme court, do away with the electoral college, make American Samoa, Guam, and Puerto Rico US states and do anything they can to stay in power. They will not back down now. This is all plausible at this point. Even passing a law for foreign born politicians to be President. It's all on the table now.

Well at a certain point people have to enforce laws themselves if no one else will. For example, an illegal immigrant has literally no rights whatsoever. There are animals that are protected species by law who have more rights.
People in a previous thread noted that the 14th Amendment might not have been constitutionally ratified. Well, the Radical Republicans just did it and no one stopped them. Doomer conservatives love to say this about the left, but it can work both ways. The Sons of Liberty weren't worried about legal niceties before they tarred and feathered people or even burned a revenue cutter.

Waiting for the ruling - but I will repeat, on the record, how I think this will go, which I have said from the start:
My prediction is that SCOTUS will find that there is nothing in the Constitution mandating birthright citizenship; BUT that it is the power and the duty of Congress to clarify and define this. They will hold that the Executive does not have the constitutional authority to act on his own, even when Congress fails to act.

We will have to be absolutely draconian about protecting our borders, we will have to be absolutely draconian about our visitor visa process, and we may need to ban certain countries from visiting at all. We are going to have to really think about the entire surrogacy process, too, which is going to be a very hard thing.

I hope Julio Rosas keeps up his journalism, because these aspiring American residents are providing the 2028 candidate with tons of campaign ad material.
Their sense of entitlement and their contempt for America should drown out a lot of sympathy.
I hope Julio gets around to asking some of them why they want to mooch instead of doing the right thing. "Why don't you fight for reform in your own country instead of demanding equality in America? After all, America had to fight for its freedom from England."

Feds Announce Arrests of 455 Defendants Responsible for $6.5 Billion in Fraud Looted from the American People
Nick shirleyThink of how many trillions have been stolen -- or allowed to be pilfered by Democrats.
@nickshirleyy Jun 23 "The fraud is not real" Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed *silent* Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening? EXPOSE IT ALL
The Justice Department:
National Health Care Fraud Takedown Results in 455 Defendants Charged in Connection with Over $6.5 Billion in Alleged FraudFake wound graft treatments were a big source of fraud:
The Justice Department today announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in charges against 455 defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in health care fraud and opioid abuse schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims and significant patient harm, including death. Today's Takedown represents a new era in federal, state, and international cooperation to combat health care fraud: cases in 56 federal districts and 45 U.S. states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participating, the most in Department history. In addition, unprecedented international cooperation over the two-week Takedown resulted in the apprehension and return to the United States of the following health care fraudsters: one defendant in Kyrenia in connection with an over $3.7 billion scheme; two defendants in Estonia in connection with a previously charged $10.6 billion scheme; and, in the Philippines, one of FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters in connection with a previously-charged $1.2 billion telemedicine fraud scheme. ... Today's coordinated enforcement action involves a whole-of-government approach, including: * Actions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to suspend 1,079 providers and revoke billing privileges for 1,403 providers. * 48 Civil Monetary Payment settlements amounting to over $73 million, over 1,400 provider exclusions, and 25 actions by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General ("HHS-OIG") under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law seeking more than $10 billion in payments to the Medicare Trust Fund from payments that CMS caught and suspended before the funds were paid to the fraudulent providers. * Civil charges against 13 defendants for $14.8 million in health care fraud schemes, as well as civil settlements with 31 defendants totaling $23 million. * 928 administrative cases by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seeking the revocation of authority to handle and/or prescribe controlled substances since October 1, 2025.
The hive of fake hospices in California were raided:
Charges were filed against 11 defendants, including a company executive and eight medical professionals, across six districts in connection with billions of dollars in fraudulent claims for amniotic wound allografts. In the District of Arizona, the Vice President of Sales for a company that sold allografts was charged in a nationwide illegal kickback and health care fraud scheme. From approximately December 2021 through June 2024, providers billed Medicare over $4 billion for this company's allografts, resulting in over $2 billion in payments. This significant spike in allograft billings was alleged to have been driven not by medical necessity, but by a kickback scheme that generated substantial profit margins and lavish lifestyles for marketers and providers who participated. The company did not manufacture allografts and instead acquired allografts from tissue banks and relabeled them for sale at a 2,000% mark-up, charging up to $1,450 per square centimeter. The defendant is alleged to have paid illegal kickbacks of approximately 40% of that amount, allowing marketers and medical providers to pocket approximately $500-600 per square centimeter.
In the Central District of California, charges were brought against a hospice owner and two marketers for a $27.7 million Medicare fraud scheme in which the hospice owner allegedly tried to avoid detection through a scheme to purchase information of the recently deceased from a funeral home employee. The defendant was allegedly carrying out a hospice fraud scheme in which he fraudulently enrolled patients who were not terminally ill. Concerned that Medicare and law enforcement used data analytics to monitor the percentage of patients discharged from hospice alive (an indicator of fraud), the hospice owner allegedly paid illegal kickbacks of $1,000 to $3,000 per person to a funeral home employee in exchange for deceased Medicare beneficiaries' information. The defendant then allegedly billed Medicare for a few days of hospice services for these recently-deceased individuals who hadn't received hospice care and created fake, back-dated medical records claiming that the beneficiaries had been seen by a physician, thereby allegedly seeking to deceive Medicare by reducing his outlier data metrics.
And of course the fake "adult day care" scam:
One of Trump's bugaboos is opioid distribution. 28 licensed medical professionals, mostly doctors, were charged in illegally writing opioid prescriptions.
In the Eastern District of New York, charges were brought against eight defendants for their role in a $38 million fraud on New York Medicaid for social adult day care services that were medically unnecessary, procured by kickbacks to marketers and beneficiaries, and never provided. Although the permitted occupancy of the social adult day cares (shown below) was only 30 people, the defendants fraudulently submitted claims for services provided to hundreds of beneficiaries per day.
... The defendants allegedly operated a voicemail refill line that allowed patients to request and receive refills of Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions--though some patients who used the refill line to obtain Schedule II controlled substances from the defendants suffered drug overdoses and died, the defendants continued to operate the refill line to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances without interacting with patients.
F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli
@USAttyEssayli Today, under the leadership of @VP Vance and @DAGToddBlanche, we are announcing the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown involving 455 defendants charged in connection with $6.5+ BILLION in alleged fraud. One person arrested by @FBILosAngeles in the Central District of California was Jeannie Choi, 57, of Torrance. She is charged along with two other defendants--Oren David Shachar, 59, of Van Nuys, and Abraham Shin, 66, of Corona--with a hospice fraud scheme that caused Medicare to pay nearly $27 million in fraudulent claims. Shachar allegedly exploited deceased Medicare beneficiaries by collecting their personal health data and medical records through meetings with surviving relatives. He then directed staff to use those identities to create false, backdated hospice records claiming evaluations and terminal certifications that never occurred. Shachar paid Choi and Shin between $1,000 and $3,000 for each deceased beneficiary fraudulently enrolled in hospice care. Shachar and Shin have pleaded not guilty and have a trial scheduled for August 11. Choi is expected to make her initial appearance and be arraigned today in Los Angeles federal court. Public health programs intended to help the elderly and sick are being undermined by fraudsters, threatening the financial stability of these programs for all Americans. We are committed to rooting out the rampant fraud that has plagued our institutions for too long.

Trump admin requiring gov issued ID to apply for federal student aid saved $200 million in fraud in 2 months
Officials say the real-time screening built into the FAFSA form stops fraudsters before money goes out the door EXCLUSIVE -- The Department of Education (ED) claims it has blocked nearly $200 million from falling into the hands of fraudsters since launching a strict new identity-verification mandate on April 27. The nationwide fraud prevention effort requires high-risk applicants to present government-issued identification when applying for federal student aid. "Since we launched it, we've prevented nearly $200 million from falling into the hands of fraudsters," James Bergeron, Deputy Under Secretary of Education and Acting Federal Student Aid Chief Operating Officer, told Fox News Digital. "Our new fraud detection tool is at the FAFSA [Free Application for Federal Student Aid] form level. It stops fraud at the start of the process before the money goes out the door, which is a big priority for the task force." The department integrated the real-time, risk-based identity screening directly into the online FAFSA application system this spring. "Effective immediately, fraud detection is built directly into the FAFSA itself, with every applicant evaluated in real-time using risk-based identity screening," the department previously announced. "Applicants who display a certain level of fraud risk will now be required to present government-issued identification before accessing federal student aid funds such as Pell Grants and federal student loans." Department officials estimate the tool will save taxpayers over $1 billion during the current FAFSA cycle. According to the department, the strict security posture is a necessary correction to the COVID-19 pandemic era, when the Biden-Harris administration rolled back key verification safeguards. The department claims those previous policies diverted resources away from fraud prevention and required less than 1% of students to verify their identity following their FAFSA submission. The "enhanced fraud controls" are tailored to intercept sophisticated, modern scams, specifically blocking AI-generated bots and "ghost students"-- fraudulent identities engineered by bad actors to siphon taxpayer-funded loans.

323 Off topic but keep an eye out for the new quarters about to be issued celebrating the Declaration of Independence. Just 250,000 of them will have a "July 4" stamp on the front and will be highly sought after by collectors. Some estimate that they may fetch $50-$100.

Well, that other side was using this type fraud to bundle money, move it overseas, launder it, and return a portion back to the DNC.
It's one of the reasons those three communists in NY won their primaries last night. The DNC is losing their funding. First USAID, then Act Blue comes underscrutiny. Act Blue takes bulk funding and then redistributes it to unknowing donators at an amount low enough not to require scrutiny. Now, the fraud aspect of their fundraising is under the microscope, so the DNC has lost it's major finance (the US Taxpayer)...and can't shovel money to their regular candidates like in the past. So, here come the Socialists.

This is a great read about the reflecting pool:
https://tinyurl.com/yzr6ffj3
Let’s talk reflecting pool. Warren G. Harding built it on swampland and the structure beneath it would have been fine - if it had been built on stable ground. The whole thing started sinking slowly.
Presidents all the way up through Carter kept trying to prop it up with little cement pours, and regularly draining and cleaning it. Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters.
Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure.
Clinton publicly acknowledged that the entire pool needed demolished and rebuilt, and that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to do it right.
and it continues...

"Fake wound graft treatments were a big source of fraud."
Inside a Kensington wound care clinic
Xylazine, which was never approved for human use, has wreaked havoc in Kensington. Amputations among opioid users have more than doubled. (Philadelphia Inquirer, LA Times)
Because many individuals in this community are experiencing homelessness or face stigma, they frequently avoid traditional emergency rooms. Grassroots, non-profit organizations provide vital street-level harm reduction, cleaning, and dressing to prevent infections from requiring surgical grafts or amputations. (Don't reduce Medicaid warn the harm reduction clinics and vans.)
Federal prosecutors have cracked down on massive healthcare fraud networks billing Medicare for medically unnecessary or outright fake skin substitute treatments. Bad-actor clinics and marketers target vulnerable populations to apply overpriced amniotic or bio-engineered skin substitutes to minor wounds, often billing the government tens of thousands of dollars per procedure.
(Arnold & Porter) Medicare Advantage Plans? Probably.
Nothing in those clinics and on the streets can be adequately tracked.

Charles Dickens wrote something to the effect that the worthiness of a society can be gauged by how well it takes care of its least fortunate. Of course in those days, charity was largely private.
Government money spent on the "less fortunate" seems to lead inevitably to corruption and fraud. Even if it were well-intentioned when it started, it evolves into this disaster.
It should be extremely difficult to defraud the system, but all these morons are showing it's easy. Looks like that easiness is built in, on purpose.

True. Remdesivir plus the ventilator was a death sentence, and there was good evidence at the time it was actually harmful. But the healthcare community didn't care because they got civil immunity for anything and everything covid related.

Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence Begins Mass-Firing Obama/Biden Holdovers and Hacks
During Trumo's first term, a friend of mine, Rich Higgins, wrote to Trump advising him to fire just about everyone in the Office of National Intelligence. Obama and then Biden had purged most good people from the organization and filled it with political hacks.
Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte, just took the long-awaited step of firing their asses. ABC "News" is pissy, of course, because the Democrat way is to fill the bureaucracies with stone-cold Democrat/progressive partisans who shape the country's policies even when a Republican is nominally the president.Trump's acting director of national intelligence begins firings at agency, sources sayI don't know if the office really needs to be downsized. But I think it's easier just to say "we need to downsize" and then to fire all of the Obama hacks. And then later, maybe, decide "Oh we need a few more people, we're going to hire some more people."
Trump had previously called for the "needed downsizing of the office."
Obama never held a real job before he became a state senator and the left insisted to us that he had all the experience he needed to be president.
President Donald Trump's acting director of national intelligence has begun firing people at the agency, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with zero intelligence experience, took over the agency late last week and had promised to cut hundreds of jobs at ODNI once taking over.
Oh, John Brennan's old unit?
It was not immediately clear how many jobs had already been affected, but sources told ABC News that the National Counterterrorism Center was expected to be hit hard.
... Trump, for his part, has made clear he wants Pulte to slash jobs at the agency. Trump said earlier this month the size of ODNI has been "way too high for way too long" and told reporters he wouldn't mind it if cuts were made. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, Trump also said he wanted Pulte to "start the process" of firing ODNI personnel and cited his role as acting director as "less shackled," according to the paper.John Thune knows better than to poke the bear again and supports the firings:

Another side to this laziness is that if you disrupt most of these people they will just slither away. Sure, they'll file a lawsuit if Soros Inc. does everything, but otherwise everything is just too much work. When my principal took over in 2013 he started bullying teachers to purge them in some kind of weird power play. Each teacher just gave up and left for another district until he came after me.

He's an American Wolf Capitalist Nationalist. We own this one weather we like it or not. Pure product of greed, entitlement and McDonald's. But yeah, he's probably got deals abroad too. Gotta diversify.
Why is an acting director, a position that needs to be approved by congress, allowed to fire anyone? Also we saw this appointment shit before, everyone is always in an "acting" capacity. No one is fucking qualified.

Not now, because they don't have to do anything. Congress has been outsourcing its power to the Executive at least since the Antiquities Act of 1906.
But imagine making birthright citizenship an election issue where any Republicans elected owe their position to the anti-anchor position. Suddenly that would be a lot of pressure that GOP Congress-critters simply don't feel right now. They can let Trump make all the hard decisions while they try to leverage their committee chairmanships for wealth.

Fags, likewise, are all about envy. They want the respect that heterosexuals get for being normal, but they aren't willing to stop being fags to get it.
Transsexuals are all about envy. They don't want to be women, or men, or whatever they are, because they just don't seem to fit in as that person, but they have no idea what being the opposite sex really entails, so they become a stereotype, and eventually it drives them completely mad.
Feminists are all about envy. They want to be big, tough, ruthless, predacious men, which they believe men are even if men are not, but they aren't able to become that so they become bitchy, ugly and obnoxious instead.
Here's a thought. God created you just as you are, and then you decided to warp that to become something you aren't. Maybe the problem is not with society, but with you.

Federal immigration law is pretty clear on who is and isn’t a citizen. If someone’s parents are not citizens and they just happen to drop a child here only some complete obfuscation of the law would judge that child a citizen. There are volumes of law defining the process to become a citizen. If Congress intended illegal immigrant children to automatically become citizens it would also be there. This examination process that deduces because it is not there, ergo Congress needs to write it in, as opposed to- if they wanted it they would have written it in is not just contra intellectual, it is contrary to how the Framers intended the constitution to work. It is a liberal thought process that has poisoned the well of liberty.

Having read a lot of SCOTUS decisions over the years (but not nearly as many as whig), my guess is either:
1. A majority decision that rules on process without even getting to the actual text of the 14th Amendment. [a procedural punt]
2. Or a plurality decision that does address the 14th Amendment in some way, but with a plethora of partial concurrence/partial dissents and a "majority" opinion that has various parts with more or less binding nature.
In other words, headlines will treat the ruling as some sort of definitive Dredd Scott ruling, but it will probably be a mess that does not solve the issue at all, and probably isn't intended to.

It's also not legal. IMO. The south was occupied territory when the 13th, 14th and 15th were voted in.
Or Nevada and Vermont aren't states, as the southern states didn't vote them in.

Actual SCOTUS precedent says the child would not be an American citizen.
Wong Kim Ark's ruling outlines the specifics, primary of which was legal residence of the parents upon the birth.
I suspect this SCOTUS will give us, at best, a nothing order that calls on Congress to clarify things, though.

Federal lawsuit, DOE 1 v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (1:25-cv-00300), was filed on February 17, 2025, by a group of 'nonpartisan,' career civil servants working in national security roles within the CIA & ODNI.
The case serves as a crucial legal battle ground regarding the Trump's administration's mass downsizing of the intelligence community following EO 14152, mandating the termination of federal diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives.
March 2025, a US District Judge issued a mixed ruling. He granted a preliminary injunction that barred the administration from terminating the plaintiffs without court approval. The order also forced the ODNI and CIA to allow employees to appeal any termination decisions and mandated that the agencies consider them for open position outside of restricted "competitive areas."
The gov fought back, proceedings stayed, and oral arguments heard Dec. 2025. The case is ongoing, awaiting final ruling by the 4th Circuit panel.

Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing
The White House, January 20, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military. This was a concerted effort stemming from President Biden’s first day in office, when he issued Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”
Pursuant to Executive Order 13985 and follow-on orders, nearly every Federal agency and entity submitted “Equity Action Plans” to detail the ways that they have furthered DEIs infiltration of the Federal Government. The public release of these plans demonstrated immense public waste and shameful discrimination. That ends today. Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect, ... much more.

LaMonica McIver, now 40, and pregnant with her second child, is set to appear in federal court on charges that she did 'forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with' a federal law enforcement agent who was carrying out his duties, per her indictment last year.
McIver, who also currently has a 9-year-old daughter, could face as long as 17 years if convicted.
During a visit she conducted with fellow lawmakers at New Jersey's Delaney Hall immigration facility last May, McIver was caught on video in a clash with law enforcement officials.
She has asked for the charges to be dismissed, and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with federal officials related to actions in the ICE facility skirmish.
She was also saved from a career-shaming embarrassment by seven of her Republican colleagues, who decided not to censure her in the House of Representatives after she was charged the previous year.
'If House Republicans think they can make me run scared, they're wrong,' McIver noted in a statement issued before the vote.

Fourth Circuit Overturns Lowly District Court Judge, Okays Trump's Expedited Deportations
Congress passed a bill authorizing expedited deportation -- which could take as little as a few days. They called this, "expedited deportations."
I am stressing it's called "expedited deportations" because the Hawaiian judges who keep blocking Trump from doing this seem to think that Trump is breaking the law by attempting to use expedited deportations to deport illegal aliens in an expeditious manner. They think it should take years upon years until the feds just give up and let the illegal alien stay forever. The Fourth Circuit considered the dispute. They looked at the part of the law that says "expedited deportations" andreasoned that the law must mean that illegal aliens can be deported expeditiously.
Federal court allows ICE to expand expedited deportations nationwideCongress left it to the Executive to determine how broadly to apply the power. Leftists have been suing for years claiming that because previous presidents -- Biden and Obama --did not choose to use the power to its maximum effect, that means Trump isn't allowed to either. And Hawaiian judges agreed. But now they've been overruled.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an effort to expand fast-track deportations throughout the U.S., in a legal win for the president's crackdown on illegal immigration. The 2-1 decision by a panel of judges at the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia Circuit allows the Department of Homeland Security to carry out an expansion of the expedited removal process, which empowers federal immigration officials to deport some detainees without court hearings. Before the second Trump administration, the expedited removal policy was limited to areas close to the border and only applied to recent entrants who could not prove they had been living in the country for more than two weeks. But the policy allowed to take effect Tuesday -- which was drafted in the first week of President Trump's second term in January 2025 -- expands expedited removal to anywhere in the United States. Officials can use it on any unauthorized immigrant who cannot prove they have been in the country for more than two years.
In August 2025, a federal judge found the Trump administration's expansion of expedited removal violated due process rights, following a lawsuit from immigrant advocacy group Make the Road New York. The panel of appellate judges disagreed Tuesday, invalidating her order. The two appellate judges in the majority -- Trump-appointed Justin Walker and Neomi Rao -- found the policy offers sufficient due process protections. "Make the Road has not shown that the expedited-removal process denies its members notice and an opportunity to be heard," they wrote.The law stupidly includes a provision that an illegal who can show that he's been living in America, illegally or legally (and it will be illegally, of course) for two years is not subject to this expedited form of deportation. Leftists made up a new part of the law that would read, if it existed, that Trump is required to inform each deportee of this fact so they can begin scrambling to make up a fake timeline showing their continuous presence in the US. Held: Cops and judges do not have to write illegal aliens' defense motions for them.
Last August, a lower court judge called the government's procedures for ensuring people aren't accidentally subjected to expedited removal "woefully inadequate," writing that migrants were not even informed of the fact that being in the country for at least two years is a possible defense. On Tuesday, the appellate court pushed back, finding that standard "would require immigration officers to provide what amounts to legal advice." Obama-appointed Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins dissented from the core of the ruling, arguing the policy deprives people of due process rights. In part, he wrote that the policy doesn't require immigration officials to ask migrants how long they have been in the country, or inform them of the two-year rule.

I'd expect there to be mistakes, but the problem is that it's a long-held standard for how to deal with the situation.
They show up at the consulate in the country they're deported to, provide proof that they're US citizens, and the US government pays to have them returned.

If 10% of people in the country who don't have legal voting rights actually vote, that's at least 10 million people.

A remake won’t work. Many of Rockford’s little tricks (portable card maker in car, talking receptionist into letting him into office to rifle through files, tricking people with calls made from pay phones etc etc) don’t make sense in the age of smart phone and internet. Modern Rockford will need some mad hacking skills and it’ll be boring watching him sit at a computer console hacking someone’s email….

President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled the signing of a bipartisan housing affordability bill today, putting the fate of the legislation into limbo, as punishment for unruly Republicans.
Trump took to his Truth Social account with the news just hours before the planned signing, saying he refuses to green–light the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act – an election measure he has been pushing hard during his second term.
'Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,' he posted.

Start garnishing paychecks, etc. Seizing property, etc. Just like the IRS does if you make a mistake on your taxes.
If it was really being enforced, it would be like hundreds of billions into the Treasury.

Instead, it's preoccupied with algae in a pool, Iran, Israel, gas prices, and whatever else the narrative du jour is?

It's becoming obvious even if it wasn't before that this operation goes way beyond Obama. This is what an army of NGOs, USAID, the UN and other globalist organizations have doing to the US for years. The invasion was just another form of a color revolution to take over America and replace the government with a totalitarian ruling class hiding behind fake elections.

"Last night was a big one, friend.
The vibes were immaculate, we remain undefeated in state legislatures, and we’ve officially taken home 21 wins so far this cycle.
Leaders We Deserve-endorsed candidates went up against the establishment and won. Loyalty to corporate cash and the elite sealed their opponents’ fate — voters knew who they’d be answering to. They’re done with politicians that talk about fighting for working people while quietly cashing checks from the very special interests making life harder.
The winning blueprint is right here, and it’s not complicated. You don’t need a corporate warchest to win — you need conviction, moral courage, community roots, and the audacity to actually fight for a future worth believing in. These leaders put the issues young voters care about front and center, and gave them a real reason to hope.
The momentum we’re seeing right now is proof that this movement has the juice to win anywhere and build a Democratic Party that actually answers to working people and fights back against MAGA extremism."

Agreed but timing is now an issue for mid-terms.
Dem's will sue and get judge to block sometime in the fall. By the time they get it to the appeals court and then emergency appeal to SCOTUS, the mid-terms will have come and gone.

I want to take a "good" pic of my America's Bicentennial poster, but:
Batteries leaked in my lil digital camera! Arrgghhh! I was able to pry the battery compartment open and (I think) salvage the SD card. Corrosion seems limited to the cover and only a little down one side of battery compartment.
Crap! Is it possible to clean it somehow? Qtips & baking soda? Help...

This was a famous political ploy in the 1890's. Samuel "Golden Rule" Jones, millionaire Christian Socialist, was mayor of a midwestern city, holding Mayor's Court, when a delegation of Decent Ladies came to demand he do something to remove 'fallen women' from the city's streets.
So he told them that if each of them would offer a safe and supporting home to a prostitute, he would do the same.
He changed parties in the middle of an election and won as a write-in. Founder and President, Acme Sucker Rod Company.

Judgeships under SCOTUS being for terms might be good. (5 years, maybe 10). (SCOTUS would require a constitutional amendment.)
Citizenship requirements akin to presidency would probably help.
I never like the whole, "Overturned so many times then off," thing because, well, our guys get overturned too.
Giving the presidency power to nominate judges for removal and then voted upon by Congress with bare majority requirements? Easily abused, but possible.

Yeah, but Austin has been weird for a very long time. Someone moving to Austin probably is and will stay a lefty.
Part of the attraction of stupid ideas like socialism (and transgender nonsense) is that they are promoted as societally worthy without pushback or rejoinder. Right-wingers should spend less time complaining that the people in some retarded blue hellhole are retarded and more time creating social bonds that make retarded viewpoints unacceptable in their areas. Just talking to neighbors and being friendly while not staying silent when they say something really dumb can help.

Yass Naubelle, 30, was intercepted by Moroccan border officials on June 13 and placed in police custody moments before she was set to board her flight home to France.
The content creator published a viral video that heavily criticised local authorities and complained about local driving standards.
While riding in the back of a taxi, she slammed her holiday experience in Marrakech, Morocco, hitting out at local law enforcement in the North African country.
The video has since been deleted, but she reportedly said: 'I've never seen people drive like this.
'It's super dangerous – cars, mopeds without helmets, with children on board, swerving suddenly.'

Question, who had standing to sue? Because the only way someone would have standing, would be if they were personally damaged by the order.
So the only ones damaged would be non citizens, trying to vote... or maybe an American citizen who had no proof of citizenship? How did they find those defendants?
Because without said defendants, there can be no lawsuit.

I'm not changing anything. No president has the authority to jail judges over a ruling he doesn't like. That's just a fact.
Sure, Trump could ignore a judge. And then we would get impeachment theater again for a year.
Proposing impossible solutions because they sound good on the internet does not make them magically possible.

Not the worst idea overall. He'll get deported no matter what, but this keeps him in the news and drains leftist bank accounts who fund his legal efforts.
All while 900,000 others have been forcibly deported while the world has cared about him.

I was with you earlier - but redistricting, plus Virginia's failure plus it looks like California cut a little too thin. Plus voting day looks like it might actually stick. Dems could still take it, but math is working against it - and having all your exciting energy for a progressive movement on the 10% side of 90/10 issues with the general public usually isn't a winning strategy. The dems are now in a civil war. Just in time for the midterms. GOP probably going to gain a few seats in the House. 55 in the Senate is a real possibility.

Socialists Take Over the New York Democrat Party, Eye a National Takeover
Bill MeluginOne of the big winners yesterday was a communist who wants to empty the prisons and refuses to say that even murderers should go to jail. Darializa Chevalier -- a child of an immigrant and, as Actual Justice Warrior surmised, most likely an anchor baby herself -- is firmly against deportations for any reason, favors illegal aliens voting in US elections because the elections affect them too, and wants to end all enforcement at the border.
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Rep. Espaillat concedes. Mamdani-backed socialists have officially gone 3/3 and won all of their respective Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York tonight. Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen: Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and "all deportations are wrong", including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an "effing disgrace", and said in a prior social media post "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me." Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance. Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court. Mamdani gets a clean sweep, a bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and big questions for where the Democratic Party is heading.
Meet the Islamic daughter of an immigrant who a leftwing magazine calls "the Next AOC," Darializa Avlia Chevalier.
This anchor baby has an Anchor Murder policy, as Actual Justice Warrior termed it. She really believes that if you commit a murder in the US and go to jail for it, you are now guaranteed permanent residence in the US because deporting you after the murder sentence is double jeopardy. She is a zealot on defunding the police and emptying the prisons. refuses to say that even murder should result in a prison sentence. Liberal Ben Smith asked her four times in this group interview by liberals if a murderer should ever go to jail and she kept refusing to answer, saying instead that she wants to look at the root causes for the murder and objecting to prison because people only go to prison if they're "black and brown." Oh and she attended a pro-Palestinian rally the day after October 7, to celebrate the attacks, and converted to Islam three years ago.
Please meet Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-endorsed DSA candidate for Congress:

Washington Free Beacon
@FreeBeacon A liberal New York political club declined to endorse the Zohran Mamdani-backed candidate for New York's 13th Congressional District, socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, following a "spirited meeting" in which Chevalier refused to condemn Hamas. "We usually support the younger, more progressive candidate," Broadway Democrats wrote in its Thursday newsletter. "But we cannot do this in the 13th District Congressional race, and it is not a close call. That is because ... at our own endorsement meeting, when asked to condemn Hamas and its October 7th attacks, [Chevalier] point-blank refused, turning the question into yet another attack on Israel."

They just need a strong message and the reality (unfortunately) is it doesn't matter to most voters what that message is. It will be couched in words like fairness, compassion and justice.
Nothing about that party has changed and if anything you see how fast the mainstream has latched on to stuff that "should" be controversial like... hating Jews.
Most people vote on feels and what they will feel from these idiot open commies is strength, and something that sounds novel. The Dems don't have any play but to be outand proud commie now. Think of it as another mask coming off due to Trump. What will be freaky is how far and fast supposed "Republicans" get behind open in your face communism, which we are already seeing.

These people are true believers who want to destroy the system and then things will be better. So it's not so much cooption as it is just retardation that it will be:

2)???
3) Wonderful world.

Looking at the Russian revolution is fascinating - the country ended up with the faction that it least wanted running things. And some of the core specific lessons:
Right leaning politicians need to care about what people want and not defer to protocol and procedure. Also shoot socialists or they will shoot you
Moderate and left leaning factions need to learn "no enemies to the left" gets you killed. Yes right leaning governments are boring and don't scratch that revolutionary itch...but it beats slaving to death in a Siberian labor camp.

See how they're calling it "equivalent"? It's not equivalent to what Trump brought and awakened, but as a message, it is, and it is what they are now going with. This isn't a split in the party nor is it a takeover. It is the fresh cost of paint the old guard requires to compete nationally with MAGA. Hillary and Bernie weren't going to get it done.
There is nothing about the old guard that can stand up to the winds of change that Trump ushered in. But this ridiculous communism message is "new", the energy is fake but there, and now they have something strong that can stand up to Trump's successor and scream something besides "Reee Worse Than Trump Reeeee."

Over the last two years, my endorsement has netted 259 Primary WINS, and almost no losses, with Zero media attention!!! FAKE NEWS."
However, we must not ignore the rise of Islamo-national socialists!

I think their assessment is similar to mine - NYC is lost until it hits rock bottom. This isn't rock bottom.

Correct. It is nothing even remotely resembling organic. Mamdani was plotted into office to be the first peg they could latch onto to call it a "movement".
This was their only way forward. I was talking about this in 2017 FFS. The only logical thing to do next after Trump beat them down was never to "tack to the center" - Trump took over the center - it was always gonna be go insanely left. They did have the "lucky' covid and mail in ballot hiccup but I think that was part of it.
And it will work better than some who are laughing at it think. This is the Democrat Party now.

Goldman and Espaillat were both endorsed by AIPAC.
The three (winning) candidates supported by American Priorities received criticism from their opponents for receiving support from the PAC, although all three claimed not to have any involvement with the group.
The old guard is falling in NY, PA, and more. Governor Hochul’s endorsed candidates faced a mixed primary night with only former policy director, Micah Lasher, winning in the Democratic primary.

Because if you live in NYC, you walk outside and don't see a tree or grass, you kind of assume that the environment has been destroyed. But if you head out into the countryside you'll notice rural males working round the clock to cut back trees, mow the grass, bad the leaves, etc.
Likewise, if your live in NYC, you are probably living in a broom closet with a shitter and hot plate and paying $3000 a month for it. And if that was my reality, yeah, I'd probably think the economy was unfair, too.
What they fail to recognize is that they chose to live in hell. Most everyone that live out in the rural communities understand that NYC is a piece of shit, occupied by denizens of shit, and find their shit-stained shithole to be the shittiest existence possible.
But hey, you got those Broadway plays and all that culture, so enjoy that.

The DSA is organizing a paramilitary group, The Red Rabbits, whose purpose, as stated by the DSA is to be "cunning and full of tricks" to protect members from police, counter-protesters, and fascist groups. This sure sounds a whole lot like the Chicom Red Guards.

The mayor and the city's Democratic Party had endorsed another candidate in this week's primary. So had members of Pennsylvania's delegation in the U.S. House. One Rabb rival was backed by millions of dollars. A second benefited from a get-out-the-vote operation run by the influential local building trades unions.
But Rabb finished 15 percentage points ahead of his closest competitor in Tuesday's election, and the state representative is likely on his way to Washington because no Republican sought the GOP nomination.
Rabb was propelled by a constellation of progressive groups, charting a path to victory partly by assailing his own party as listening more to donors than voters. He credited a grassroots movement inspired by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, alarmed by Republican President Donald Trump and hungry for a government responsive to their needs.
And there's Adam Hamawy. Intercept, June 2: Adam Hamawy, Doctor Who Volunteered in Gaza, Poised to Become Pro-Palestine Rep. From New Jersey
Hamawy won despite media reports that sought to tarnish the progressive candidate as an Islamic extremist.

It bares repeating but nothing is stopping socialists from forming their own communes and sharing their wealth collectively.
But they won't do it because what they really want is other people's wealth.
Most of those communies in the 60s failed because ultimately the people that would work got tired of supporting those that would not.

The Dems were celebrating on 10/7/23. We had a full year of college riots specifically targeting Jewish students, remember those?
And in Nov 2024 Jews voted overwhelmingly Democrat. A majority of young (under 40 I believe) Jewish voters backed Mamdani in 2025.
So no it’s not too early. We’re 3 years into this and has been undeniable from day 1. Yet voting patterns have remain unchanged.

I mean this with no ill intent whatsoever, but rather with an eye to historical patterns.
Because the Jewish community is very interconnected and self-persevering, they will vote in whatever fashion they believe serves their own interests.
I'm not saying that's wrong. In some sense we should and do all be voting in our interests.
But I don't think ideas like "The Republic" or "The Constitution" are at the core of what drives the Jewish political ideology, more ideas of protecting themselves and their interests.
If they stand to suffer under Democrat rule, they will certainly back Republicans, but likewise they will switch back. They seem to be a very pragmatic group.

It's growing and shrinking at the same time.
allow me to explain:
In places like NYC, conservatives have already left, moderates are leaving, traditional dems are being frozen out, and dropping out. The activist part of the Dem Party has taken full control of the party apparatus, which is allowing them to dominate elections in these corrupt, single party blue cities.
BUT - this kind of control only exists in the deepest of deep blue cities. They have nothing like it in the rest of the country, in fact the rest of the country hates them even more for putting their true selves on display. Locally they're growing, but it's an illusion. Nationally, they're shrinking.

In the 2016 election Trump was endorsed by a Protestant minister who had publicly endorsed evangelizing to Jews. This was presented as literal genocide.
I remember though some leftwing Jewish leader being interviewed about this and the reporter did her job and pointed out the Jewish leader had been on stage with an Islamic leader that had called for the extermination of all Jews in Israel - actual genocide - which left the Jewish leader hmming and hawing and arguing "that's (d)ifferent!"

Wednesday Morning Rant
The histrionics are particularly good this year.
"This is not just a heatwave, it is a heat-dome driven furnace that will grip most of southern UK and push temperatures into truly exceptional territory," said Akshay Deoras, a meteorologist at the University of Reading.A furnace that reaches 95+ degrees. That is hot to be sure, especially for Britain, but 90-something temperatures causing panic and a swath of death is insane to an American. There is a reason for the panic, which is the last time there was this kind of heat wave about 20 years ago:
"This heatwave will be quite comparable in severity to the one in August 2003. It is expected to surpass it in terms of maximum intensity," Meteo France said Monday, referring to a deadly 16-day heat wave that killed nearly 15,000 people.Europe is responding as usual. France has banned drinking alcohol at music festivals (the article doesn't say why, so my guess is to help prevent dehydration). Spain canceled a large event where people would gather to watch the World Cup. The New York Times has some helpful hints for travelers facing the heat wave, and the list is useful to examine:
Block out the windows in your home - especially those that get afternoon sun - with a blanket or a darker sheet during the day to keep the heat out. At night, keep windows open and run fans to circulate the air. Spritz your skin with a mist of cool or room-temperature water or wipe your forehead with a cool cloth. Cold showers can also help you cool down. If you need to be outdoors, put ice cubes in your water bottle and drink cool liquids. If you plan to exercise, douse your head in cold water. Swimming is also a great way to exercise and keep cool.Notice what the Times doesn't recommend. It's the obvious thing to any American. They don't recommend turning on the air conditioner. They don't recommend that because it isn't an option. Europe, as a rule, doesn't have A/C. Some places have it, of course, but most don't. Barcelona runs "climate shelters" - that is, places with air conditioning - and as was also reported during last year's heat wave, is undertaking urban reconstruction to nibble at the edges. But not to normalize A/C. That, they couldn't do even if they wanted to. They simply don't have enough power to normalize A/C. Even if people want it (and in Europe, many decry air conditioning as absurd wasteful Americanism, but demand is nonetheless higher than ever), they can't get it. They can get the equipment, but they can't power it. The grid falls apart if too many people try. From last year's article:
Spain knows it has a problem. In a time of right-wing opposition to Europe’s environment-protecting Green Deal regulations - "greenlash," it has been called - the progressive government of Spain has embraced an ecological transition.Yes, wanting to run an air conditioner reliably is "right-wing." Of course it is. Someone saying, "wait a second, we need more power and can't get it because the eco warriors refuse to permit reliable power generation" is the mark of a right-wing radical. So Europe does what it can, and it's the same solution as in every crisis. As always, the answer is to stop doing things you enjoy and accept your position as a controlled subject who is forbidden from other options and merely hope the old people in your family don't die because they can't cool off. How much air conditioning would Europeans have if they could get it? Probably a damn sight more than they do now. But they can't, so the point is moot. "Decarbonization" and "climate change" and "progressive government" have all but guaranteed that this year, like most years, hot weather will rack up a meaningful body count. There is just nothing that can be done to prevent it. To prevent would be to embrace effective power generation and, yes, to take a cue from those filthy Americans and make air conditioning more common in places where it gets hot. And we just can't do that. That would be absurd.

Seems they would need something reflective, not a dark blanket. The dark blanket will collect maximum heat, and it is inside the room, so the hot air will go up and pull in more cooler room air at the bottom.
I did this in my house for solar heat for a couple years, except I had fans to help circulate the heat, and it was for winter use.

In Portland, you simply accepted that a couple of weeks a year would be too hot.
Since the '90's, every new residence in Portland has had a/c installed, and the City of Portland now gives away air conditioners to poor people (through politically-connected nonprofits, of course), because air conditioning is now a Human Right.

Trump administration announces $17.5 billion in loans for 10 new large nuclear reactors.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright cited “tremendous interest” among developers of data centers that would buy the power, as well as utilities and energy companies. The nuclear plants could begin construction by 2030 and become operational in the mid-2030s, Wright and other officials said Tuesday.
“This is the start,” Wright said on a call with reporters. “We’re going to move with the players that are ready to stand up and move quickly. Once that supply chain is up and running, do we think there will be dozens of these built going forward? I’d be very surprised if there were not.”

A guy who's only been focused on European weather since 2023 (looks like it as India weather before that) is trying to amp up the climate/weather hysterics for Europeans because: Summer is hot!
Perfect.

We bought a house in 2019 I think, and the AC just couldn't keep the place cool on really hot days. Previous owners actually had it built, and skimped on everything, so the smallest AC for the square footage, minimal insulation, no shade on the house, etc.
We covered the whole roof in solar panels...and while not a great investment purely looking at energy produced/utility bill saved, it dramatically cooled the house in summer, which alone was worth it.

I'm curious: 1) How do they attach the panels to the roof securely enough to a roof so the wind doesn't rip them off? 2) Do the attachment points tend to spring leaks? 3) When the roof needs maint or replacement, doesn't it cost more because the panels need to be removed before the job and reattached after the job?

Open windows only at night, early in the morning, and late in the evening.
Otherwise close all windows and draw all curtains so you can be both uncomfortably warm and profoundly depressed.
Safely ensconced in your stuffy dark apartment, unplug all electrical devices, including your internet router, because these can emit heat even in “standby mode.”
Also roll up all of your carpets to stop them from storing heat.
Hang up wet laundry in your dark apartment to cool the air via evaporation, but do not hang up too much wet laundry or the air will become excessively humid which is even worse.
The one electronic device you might possibly consider plugging in, is a fan, to cool your skin. To enhance the cooling effect, put a bucket of all the ice that you have emptied from your unplugged freezer in front of the fan.What you should not plug in, is any kind of portable air conditioning unit, because the Federal Environmental Agency believes that they will actually make your room warmer when the exhaust air finds its way back into your apartment.

Anyone who has lived or traveled around Europe knows that the average person isn't all that different from us. But their media is if anything more dishonest than ours and constantly paints Americans as rude, uncultured, ignorant, racist slobs. Meanwhile, their standard of living is on average way lower than the average American.
I've had foreign friends come to visit me and I always here some version of "America is nothing like we were told". I'm not surprised at all foreigners are enjoying the US. It truly is the most special country in the world.

At my last company, we had a consultant who wore shorts and flip-flops for 9 months out of the year. He was a personal friend as well, but we had a falling out after I told him not to show his face in my shop while wearing flip-flops, because I was tired of seeing his nasty-ass feet. Not to mention the safety hazard of going into the shop with open-toed footwear.

Apparently the British government is contemplating banning the harvesting of peat because digging it up releases carbon and the fascists running things in the UK have a goal of being “net zero carbon emissions” by 2050. Which will result in the destruction of the Scotch whisky industry. The horror.

Heat is rarely recorded as the direct cause of death; rather, it acts as the fatal catalyst for heart failure, strokes, or respiratory crises. People with pre-existing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are at the highest risk.
Over 85% of victims are elderly individuals (over 65) who suffer from underlying heart, lung, and kidney complications. Older adults and the very old (often over 80) make up the vast majority of heat-related fatalities.
Studies consistently show a significantly higher rate of heat-related mortality among women compared to men, often due to social isolation and physiological factors.
Manual laborers face continuous exposure and heavy exertion.
Densely populated cities trap heat in concrete and asphalt, making conditions much worse at night.
---
Several elderly individuals have suffered fatal heat-related illnesses in the Philadelphia region during recent May heat waves. Notably, an 80-year-old woman in a Holmesburg apartment passed away from environmental hyperthermia after enduring dangerous indoor heat without functioning air conditioning.

I went to work in an aircraft factory after getting out of the Marine Corps. Heat was brutal. Had to walk every day past the engineering offices where the engineers were sitting at desks with their feet up, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. That's the job I want. Quit the factory and went and got an engineering degree.

Ivan Le Lorraine Albright (February 20, 1897 – November 18, 1983) was an American painter, sculptor and print-maker most renowned for his self-portraits, character studies, and still lifes.[1] Due to his technique and dark subject matter, he is often categorized among the Magic Realists and is sometimes referred to as the "master of the macabre".

The why is gas still expensive when oil is cheap thing is asked every time there’s a sudden oil spike and oil drop. The answer is always the same. And no it’s not some collusion by Exxon and Shell.
Posted by: Heroq at June 24, 2026 09:33 AM (rjPWf)
==
Gas is a cash business, even the big guys have to pay for each tanker of fuel as it is received. Thus, you need to make sure you have enough cash received from the last tank to pay for the next one. So by default, prices rise quickly and fall slowly. Of course, some do try and take advantage. They usually quickly run out of customers.

Ida get to the choppah!
Posted by: Boswell at June 24, 2026 09:53 AM (NTVPI)
Art Institute Chicago,
Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida
Date: 1929–30
Artist: Ivan Albright (American, 1897–1983)
About this artwork
Holding a mirror, powdering her chest, and surrounded with accoutrements of fashion and beauty, the figure portrayed here does not necessarily inspire thoughts of youth and vibrancy. Rather, as one critic put it when this painting was first exhibited, he saw a “woman with flesh the color of a corpse drowned six weeks.” Ida Rogers herself was 19 years old at the time she posed for the artist. With his hyperbolic version of realism, Ivan Albright laboriously transformed his sitter into a vision of his own making. The painting is less a portrait than a meticulous musing on the passage of time and the relationship—both powerful and fragile—between mind and body.
Also: Fleshing Out Ivan Albright
In part, "At a base hospital in France a surgeon put Albright’s drawing ability to use, employing him as a medical draftsman documenting the wounds and injuries of soldiers returning from the front." WWI

State taxes vary wildly. Can’t really compare apples to apples gas prices between regions. Even within states, cities and counties can add their own gas tax.
I used to live on the border of two states. Gas was always 30-40 cents cheaper on one side. Mainly difference in gas tax but also difference in minimum wage, property taxes and other factors. There were 4 gas stations on the main road, just inside the state line, 2 on both sides of the street. Always packed with cars from the other side. Funny thing was all 4 always had the exact same price. One would raise price by 2 cents the other 3 would match. One would lower by 5 cents the others would match it.

Interesting (well, maybe not to you, but I found it notable)- while most saints get a feast day aligning with their death (they day they entered heaven) St. John the Baptist has an additional one celebrating the day of his birth, called the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, which is today's celebrstion.

My best ever score is also an 82. On a short muni, only 6000 yards and par 70 but I count it!
I’ve played a few “real” courses over the years, notably Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill once each and Torrey Pines South twice. On all those real courses I was over 100…. The rough at Torrey Pines doesn’t look bad on TV but I swear that grass is made of steel… I could barely hack out of that stuff with a wedge

1929–30
Artist: Ivan Albright (American, 1897–1983)
About this artwork: Holding a mirror, powdering her chest, and surrounded with accoutrements of fashion and beauty, the figure portrayed here does not necessarily inspire thoughts of youth and vibrancy. Rather, as one critic put it when this painting was first exhibited, he saw a “woman with flesh the color of a corpse drowned six weeks.” Ida Rogers herself was 19 years old at the time she posed for the artist. With his hyperbolic version of realism, Ivan Albright laboriously transformed his sitter into a vision of his own making. The painting is less a portrait than a meticulous musing on the passage of time and the relationship—both powerful and fragile—between mind and body.
He looked at a beautiful woman and transformed her into a vision of ugly vanity. Thanks, guy!

He was talking about a sculpture by Rodin.
This one, to be precise. https://tinyurl.com/y5jnfw2t
"Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl.
An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become.
A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist — a master — and that is what Auguste Rodin was — can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is… and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be…. and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart…. no matter what the merciless hours have done to her.”

The reason the Uniparty vigorously opposes the SAVE Act has nothing to do with the ID or registration portions.
The part that has them recoiling in horror is that it grants a private cause of action to enforce vote integrity laws.

My best score was in college when I played every week with a friend who was a legit golfer. Got it on the school's Big Ten championship course - 42-39. Legit score, no mulligan's. With old clubs, only a 3 wood and no spikes. It was glorious. Never touched it even on a muni later on in life when I still played a bunch.

Eh, the reason Am Lit sucks now is because almost everyone is writing for the movies.
Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with genre fiction.
The business of writing is to make money in the end. You can't write if you can't eat or can induce aa big Sugar momma to keep you in Brazilian Pizza.
But, writing for movies writing process goes something like this-
Think of a high concept
Mash high concept into genre and story easily turned into a movie.
Write well enough to get a Hollywood producer to have his people read it.
As you can see you're constrained already in how or where your story will go.
Gives a patina of sameness to every story out there.
Sad.
But there it is.

Having newly built huge, ugly and forever unoccupied warehouses scattered through an area are far worse for local economies and urban decay.
Also, indoor commercial marijuana growing facilities require 10 to 70 times more energy per square foot than typical office buildings. Lighting accounts for about 38% of energy use, while climate control (HVAC, dehumidification) makes up the remaining 51%.
But that's okay because social justice.

The Morning Report — 6/ 24 /26
Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents. Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede. The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races — signaled Mamdani could expand his socialist wave beyond New York City, to Washington, DC. . . The candidates hold a slew of far-left views that were once fringe within the Democrat Party.. . ...Valdez and Avila Chevalier both campaigned on their staunch opposition to Israel — labeling the Jewish state’s actions in Gaza a genocide — and on pushing their pro-Palestinian values. Like Mamdani, the pair called for a full divestment of Israel and cutting off of any sales of US arms to its ally in the Middle East. Valdez also echoed the Mamdani admin’s radical housing platform, pushing for the seizure of property from bad landlords. All three also want to abolish ICE and Avila Chevalier, a community organizer and doctoral candidate, has even said she doesn’t believe foreign criminals should be deported.One can laugh at New York and smugly claim, and not unjustly so, that they brought this on themselves. while New York at least for the last 50 years or so has for sure been liberal, the David Dinkins years notwithstanding, it has not been insane. A combination of cultural societal and political conditions have converged to create a perfect storm of insanity that has utterly eradicated the legacy and miracle of the Rudy Giuliani years. And so while one can jeer at New York, this madness can and likely will spread.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Senior Political Commentator Van Jones reacted to Brad Lander’s primary win over Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) by saying that “The Mamdani phenomenon is not a one guy thing. The Democratic Socialists are an insurgency in this party.” And “This is a serious movement inside the Democratic Party. The left is on the march.”You know who else was "on the march?!" All Jones needs is an Austrian inflection with a soupçon, or mit einem bisschen of Ugandan/Muslim jive for extra texture! For those unaware or as a refresher, Van Jones is a full-on Anti-American anti-Western freak as you can see from his rap sheet here at Discover the Networks.
. . . He continued, “But I think people who thought this was going to be kind of a cute guy off to the side, there’s a huge infrastructure here, there’s a movement here, there’s passion here, and people who don’t like it are going to have to wake up and smell the coffee. This is a serious movement inside the Democratic Party. The left is on the march.”
Jones’ new approach was modeled on the tactics outlined by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky, who stressed the need for revolutionaries to mask the extremism of their objectives and to present themselves as moderates until they could gain some control over the machinery of political power. Jones still considered himself a revolutionary, but a more effective one thanks to his revised tactics.And thus we had the candidacy and now the actions/policies of Abigail Spanberger among others. So no Van Jones was not lamenting the hard left lurch as illustrated by Mamdani and last night's results in NYC. Far from it, his nipples were bursting with orgasmic glee. But, is this filthy bastard right and my hopes that the coming of President Trump heralded a sea change in our culture merely a speed bump on America's road to hell? Yes, James Talarico I assume has no shot at all, ditto all the others like him scattered around the sane areas of the country, or am I whistling past the graveyard?
By the end of this year, there could be 10 socialist mayors in the U.S. That’s the most since the 1910s, when socialism was the shiny new object embraced by educated elites.
But what excuse do Democrats have today – after 100 years of socialism’s miserable, murderous failures – for embracing this toxic ideology?
Back in 1911, according to one historical count, members of the Socialist Party of America won office in 74 towns and cities, and another 32 in 1913.
Fast forward to today. As NBC News put it, “Democratic socialists are on the rise in Trump-era mayoral races … fueled by a backlash to Trump policies, economic strain and fatigue with the Democratic establishment.”
Right now, there are eight socialist mayors – the most since the 1920s – and primary voters in one-party District of Columbia virtually guaranteed a ninth when they nominated a socialist to run that misbegotten city. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, socialist Democrat Nithya Raman will face off against the Fidel Castro-loving incumbent Karen Bass. Then there’s Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who is a socialist in all but name. . But Democrats rushing to embrace the current socialist fad should beware, because the last one was (thankfully) short-lived here in the U.S. In 1919, only five socialists won mayoral elections. Even in the middle of the Great Depression, there were only three socialist mayors in the country.
A “historical note” by the New York University Libraries says the party had trouble containing its “revolutionary wing” right off the bat. And the 1917 Russian Revolution, it says, “encouraged the left wing of the party to demand a more militant program and, when this was not forthcoming, to secede from the party in 1919 and establish the Communist Party.”
. . . As the City Journal notes, “As more and more DSA members take power, the group they belong to keeps getting more radical—a tension they will inevitably have to resolve.” A separate City Journal article points out the party’s “emerging militant network.”
Republicans ignore these developments at their own peril, since they can’t fight something – even if that something is as toxic as socialism – with nothing. And dismissing it as “junk food of modern American politics,” as GOP strategist Luke Ball told Fox News recently, isn’t going to cut it.

Walmart will buy 176 megawatts of power from the plant over a 15-year period, or enough power to serve around 150,000 homes.

I don't think anyone was predicting they would go as far as they did.
But they're getting lots of clicks now predicting SCOTUS will uphold birthright citizenship for illegals.
The theme of this Thomas Court (as Roberts abdicated after TX v. PA) is "strict interpretation of the law"
No emanations or penumbras. No "super precedent" binds us.
Rule on the legality, not the preferences for policy.

This kind of narrative deployment tells you that Mamdani (as we knew) was a plant and designed and *forced* into the political landscape. Same with Ramen noodle in Cali. I think we can expect a "big upset" "win" there too.
They're trying to create a story with weight that can combat Trump and MAGA because the Democrats have literally nothing. So they are filling the nothing gap with this supposed far left anti-establishment "for the People" meme... but of course it's all the same establishment pushing the same old claptrap. You think Nancy Pelousy and Cuckles Schumer are offended this new breed is coming so hard after Israel...?
Nothing new under the sun. And the way you know, is the way these anti-establishment types never seem to upset the apple cart the way Trump for example has. They don't go after their own with any real damaging fervor. They all stay within the "rules" because they are all owned and operated.

Ol' Corny or his Crew were always good at packing the field with a bunch of nobodies and decoy candidates so he always came out with the most votes in the primary.
Paxton's candidacy changed that dynamic.
Then, of course, the Democrats run an insane candidate, so that was the easy part.
Ol' Corny was never that popular. Just well known as a ballot name.

Everyone in Texas who voted for Paxton had no doubt at all that this was exactly how Cornyn would react. We also know that, like all deep staters, that the ones he hates most are US, for firing his sorry ass.
I wonder how many people even now know that a huge amount of the talk about “Talarico is great, Talarico could easily win!” was an op being run by the Cornyn campaign?

He was not radical, He was and is the enduring fulfillment of God's holy promise. He is as foundational a figure as one can be, and to label him a radical is an intentional lie - specifically a half truth which the Left loves to wade in - that is more in line with His accusers than his followers.

The harsh reality is that these cities will financially fail. And their state will have to bail them out - if they can. And there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth to get federal money to bail them out as well. We've seen that with NYC already. And we are almost at that point now with NYC (Gov. Hochul's state budget is trying to keep that city afloat).
I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to bail them out. The citizens voted for the crap they got. Let them revel in it.

Obama was the vanguard and he didn't get there on his soaring oratory. He was the Soros anointed candidate over Hillary. And Soros has long been a CIA asset.
All of the anti-American shit that was done to us like censorship, open borders, antifa/BLM terrorists allowed to roam free to destroy, was either sponsored or supported by elements of our government, federal and some states. Anyone who thinks this will all stay in blue states is missing the fact it's already gone beyond blue states.

Balkanized indeed. But also still loosely aligned right/left. Increasingly, the left-leaning factions are making it clear they do not seek a peaceful solution. The right-leaning factions for the most part would be fine with a clean break. Go our separate ways and leave each other alone. But the left-leaning factions want a submit or die solution. A peaceful solution seems increasingly untenable.

Abbott’s wins are 62 - 38 on the high side, 57 - 43 on the low side. He’s never been outside of that range, and he won’t be outside of it this time.
But every time news outlets run the stories saying “polls show it’s a single digit race now! Is Abbott in trouble? “. Every single time. Polls everywhere are even worse than reading chicken entrails, but in Texas they’ve become laughably bad.

Yeah, and the landscape is just going to keep moving that way. NY State is already dead, as is Illinois and California is racing to keep up. Assuming the GOP wins in 2028, electorally the dems have no hopes in the House or the WH until they adjust. The brand is immensely unpopular among most voters and the red/blue maps show increasingly small zones of blue control. They are shedding voters faster than their new victim groups can create.

Cuban sold controlling interest in the Mavericks and the new ownership IMMEDIATELY started screwing the Stars. A court battle ensued where the Stars lost. Cuban had ignored the contract item for decades as it wasn't really all that relevant. New owners disagreed.
Stars are moving because they're losing millions staying at the AAC. The Mavericks are trying to move to a new facility as they think gambling will become legal and they'll build a new facility with hotels and casinos surrounding it.
Or, they'll move to Vegas.

The Piecemeal Revolution

So, what you see is the Van Jones Solution of running Your Friendly Neighborhood, Totally Normal, Harmless and Cute Candidate who's actually a seething, hateful communist underneath and will bring as hard communism as they can in as short a time as they can. Examples? Spanberger in VA and Mandami in NYC and all of CA.
Those places will become election fraud central and almost impossible to claw back regardless of what the voters do.
Given 10 years or so time and sufficient wins, they might be able to turn that into a national win like Biden with no reverse

Replacement Cost Pricing: Gas station operators must price their current fuel based on what it will cost to refill their underground tanks. If wholesale crude prices spike, stations instantly raise pump prices to avoid selling at a loss.
Inventory Lag:
Stations must sell through the supply of more expensive fuel they already purchased before they can offer the cheaper, recently refined fuel to consumers.Consumer
Shopping Behavior: When gas prices are high, drivers actively search for cheaper stations, forcing retailers to fiercely compete and match lower prices. When prices drop, drivers become less motivated to search for deals, giving stations less pressure to lower their prices quickly.

There is a lot of fatigue with the GOP establishment, too. Enough that in both parties is the call "anyone but this current useless chair-warmer!" The problem, though, it that "anyone" is a far too broad characterization, while the party Mandarins are desperate to keep their status quo, so the "anyone" becomes drawn from a more radical and more maverick base.
It's odds-on that the "anyone but" is not going to be a positive change.

- It was Prime Day again. Here are the deals you missed. (Tom's Hardware)
There was a reasonable price for the 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, but not on Amazon and the deal is over and they're out of stock.
- For me, the deal of the day was on the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, cut from A$1000 to A$500. Also not on Amazon, but I scooped one up from local electronics chain JB Hifi.*
They also had the new Gen 5 model (the Gen 4 was a China exclusive), listed at A$1500. It's about 20% faster than the Gen 3 and has a 20% higher resolution screen, which is not enough to convince me to spend 200% more. Particularly since neither of those are issues with the Gen 3 anyway.
* Long time readers may recall that I bought one of these on sale last year. Yes. And now I will have two.
Tech News
- The coming loop. (Pocoo)
This is a reaction to yesterday's article on AI becoming loopy, and points out that just because something may be inevitable doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.
- F3 is a file format for the future. (GitHub)
For the future of what?
Shut up.
- Anthropic's Mythos AI tool has discovered a memory leak in Squid. (The Register)
First, who still uses Squid? Second, who still uses Mythos? Anthropic blocked all access to it.
- Elon Musk's nefarious plan to deliver fast, affordable internet access to literally the entire planet. (The Verge)
The Verge seems to be Big Mad that Starlink is delivering on its promises rather than stealing tens of billions in taxpayer funds.
- Not FSD but CDH. (Notebook Check)
The latest Tesla crash claimed to be an issue with automated self-driving mode again turns out to be driver error - FSD was disengaged and the accelerator was at 100% when the vehicle left the road and crashed into a house at 73 mph.
- Meta has launched a line of ugly clunky smart glasses that are $80 cheaper and don't carry the Ray-Ban log. (The Verge)
Okay. Honestly I think these are pretty useful, even if jerks are determined to spoil everything for the rest of us.
Disclaimer: Before anyone asks, "Pixy, are you deliberately choosing second songs from one-hit wonders?", the answer is, well, I'm not not doing that.
Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)Woke up early, intended to head back to bed. That didn't happen.
Selloffs of AI stocks started to happen in the U.S. Markets on Tuesday, but the Asian markets have already rebounded apparently. Still, a backstep or two in the craziness that is the AI bubble is a good sign. There'll likely be a few more of those flutters and then (hopefully) POP goes the bubble!

I'm having the car's spark plugs changed today; the Buick is at 99K miles and a bit, and the manual says to do it at 98,500. The big red beast still runs impeccably and gets great mileage, but part of how I've kept this car up for seven years is by adhering to the manual's maintenance schedule. And plugs can get balky and hard to remove if you go too long between changes.

LeSabre, or other? My first Buick was an '03 Park Avenue, and it won me over to Buicks for good. You get 70% of the Mercedes driving experience for 50% of the price -- less, if you buy used.

The detective drives what he says is a "third-hand" car, a Bristol 405. I'd heard of the brand, but have rarely seen any examples. Think of a four-door, longer-wheelbase Aston Martin.

Oh, the first generation, when LaCrosse replaced LeSabre in the lineup. I looked at a nice example in the summer of '07, but passed because of the dealership's attitude, and wound up with the PA.

And McKellen always grabs the screen. I looked for that 1930s-dress Richard III that he did some years ago, set in an alternate-universe Britain descending into fascism under Richard, but couldn't find it.

Cadillac, I think, is the only US manufacturer still providing more than one car or sedan for us to buy. Ford and Chrysler both offer only trucks and SUVs, except for the Mustang, and I think the Charger and Challenger -- though they may be gone too. I buy used, so GM has already gotten their money from the first owner.
If something happens to the LaCrosse, and I can't find a '17-'19 model in good shape, I'll either have to go Cadillac, or step over to a Toyota like an Avalon or Lexus ES; or maybe even to a Hyundai Genesis or Equus.

Back when my kidneys were going and dialysis was coming in the future, my wife wanted to go out to eat at a nice place, so we found a Peruvian restaurant.
We had this cool purple potato drink, ate beef hearts in tomato sauce, and had lucuma ice cream for dessert.
A few hours later, while in bed, my heart started beating 3 or 4 beats a second (200 or so beats a minute). Turned out each of the foods I had eaten were very high in potassium, and my kidneys weren't flushing it out fast enough...

In a significant development at the United Nations, a coalition of governments has formally launched a political declaration calling for a global moratorium on surrogacy.
It's a start. I know that surrogacy is controversial and that things have gotten worse. Mind you, I have no faith that any such moratorium will happen.

Yes, you CAN drink too much water. As your example shows. Back in September 2000 a BMTer died at Lackland from, well, drinking too much water.

That's possible in my case. But my Rx is controlling it well, and I'm in good cardiovascular shape and not overweight. And I'm not usually worried about the dr. visit.

This has been true of my dad for years. My mom’s a nurse and she’ll take his BP at home before a doc visit; then it gets taken at doc office and noticeably higher. Not nervous around Mom!

They take my blood pressure at the dentist. WHY?
More reasonable is when they take my blood pressure at the clinic I go to. But that is entertaining. One time I was hungry so I ate a breakfast burrito before the appointment. Your stomach goes into action and your heart works a little harder to accommodate. BP goes up. The nurse (the NURSE, not "the provider", which is fucking stupid) takes the BP and it is something like 180/whatever. She's freaked. I look at her, the numbers, and say "no". She takes it again. "Well, it's going down so it's OK.

This is not an unheard of occurrence at marathons unfortunately. It’s usually the rookie runners; they’ve been told to “drink enough water stay hydrated” so they drink at every water station and it’s they’re first marathon they’re going quite slow… so they have enough time to overload on water and develop hyponatremia, which can kill you. I think it’s less common now because water stations also offer Gatorade….

We do...when deployed to a combat zone. As much as I love all the perks of military service (as I fly with free luggage for showing my ID), at some point, it is just a job/career, and already pays pretty well, with full retirement at 20 years of service. At some point...it's enough.
Although, the Left never says that for teachers, so...dump more largesse on me (and police)!!!

Years ago I was in Kauai and one day I took a tour of the Na Pali coast with a guy who called himself Captain Zodiac. Rubber Zodiac boat.
He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money. His real job was being paid by the state as a poi farmer which grew naturally on his property. He literally did nothing other than let the state send people in to harvest it and cash checks.
Hawaiians love their poi.

Money laundering. Like the art market and book sales. You put up a piece of art, someone buys it at an inflated price. You just got money from someone who wants to influence you about something but is not paying you directly. Then that person writes off the painting by donating it a museum. Money laundering, bribery and tax evasion all in one painting.!

There's a line where one of the passengers asks the Dr why they should trust him, and he says "Because I'm clever." The other passengers object that they're not dullards, but the point was made...the New Who writers weren't interested in telling interesting stories, they wanted to show how clever they were in comparison to us idiotic viewers.
And that's where my interest died. Tried a few episodes after, but all I could see was the smugness. "Look how clever I am. Look how creative I am. Enjoy my genius, proles."

He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money.

Personally, I'm in favor of Heinlein's Starship Troopers ( the book, not the stupid movie) assignment of the franchise: The only people who have the vote are those who have put in their time in service, and then, only after completion. Anyone getting paid by the government doesn't get a vote. It's not just military service, either, but it has to have some component of sacrifice to the service; A quadriplegic who volunteers as a medical.guinea pig qualifies.

The DSA commies are start to organize a their own paramilitary group known as the Red Rabbits. From the Google: "the group’s name is derived from the novel Watership Down, symbolizing a directive to be "cunning and full of tricks" to protect members from police, counter-protesters, and fascist groups."
These DSA clowns could be a real problem in a few years if they keep getting people elected around the country.

One of my most memorable vacation trips ever, when I was a teen, was when my father hired an Indian guide with some Navajo ponies back into the Canyon. There’s a whole network of dwellings back there that you can’t to except on horseback, and you have to hire a Navajo guide because parts of it are outside the Nat park and on their land.
Some of the dwellings are in surprisingly good states of preservation, because they’re so far back no one gets to them. The attitude of the Navajo guide at the ruins was interesting, and he obviously thought we were kind of nuts for wanting to go in. “Not our houses, not our people. Places of the dead.” was all he would say, and he was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of getting too close to them.

He's a former child magician -- very on point for a Dem politician, still professionally fooling people -- and insider wonk. That's an understatement. He's been an aide of various types -- chief of staff, director of policy, etc. -- to Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Kathy Hochul.
What won it for him (aside from Bloomberg's almost $10M) is that his main opponent, Alex Bores, is a former data scientist whose big achievement was sponsoring NY state's AI regulation, to take effect on Jan. 1. So, Bores's main selling point also drew organized opposition.

The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else).
People don't seem to understand this because they think about Paris in 1789 or Petrograd in 1917 when they think of revolution. But those revolutions didn't just benefit from two of the most inept governments before Keir Starmer's premiership, they had peasant support for a while (think 'the Great Terror in France and "Land, Peace and Bread" with the Bolsheviks). Even the Nazis started off with rural East Prussia as their electoral stronghold. Wholly urban revolutions don't work and invariable get crushed. If support for the Spanish Republic had been confined to Madrid and Barcelona as popular memory would have people believe, the Nationalists wouldn't even have had to appoint Franco as their leader. But southern peasants were literal Anarchists!

Since the 1930s, Democrats have consistently had a voter registration advantage over Republicans. Even when Nixon and Reagan were winning 49 state victories, there were way more Democrats than Republicans. That advantage has shrunk considerably in the age of Trump, and given how many red states don't have party registration, it might no longer exist.
One of the reasons why Democrats had a structural advantage for so long was that their party was a hodgepodge. You could have George McGovern and George Wallace in the same primary in the same year (1972). Even "moderate" Joe Biden got by playing this game of being something to everyone (especially low info types). Crazy people who wear their policy proposals on their sleeve (and invariable excuse street violence) end the game of pretending to be moderate and then acting radical. You don't get Spanburgers if DSA types win all the primaries.

Okay, looked that one up too. Former City Comptroller Brad Lander had Zohran Mamdani's endorsement, and his big campaign issue was supporting Hamas over Israel, using the fallacious "Gaza genocide" rhetoric that is so effective with brain-rotted Democrat primary voters.
They literally primaried out a sitting Congressman for daring to be a non-anti-Israel Jew. That's where that party is now. Unfortunately, I expect most American Jews to remain asleep to what time it is.
For now, the socialists are chanting the code phrase, "Globalize the Intifada". However, it's only a matter of time until they turn subtext into text, and start chanting something like, "From Maine to Hawai'i, America will be Judenfrei." That's what they mean.

First, white women are Republicans and have been so since at least 2012. The wine aunt karen is a thing, but she seems much more notable than she really is because she is so darn loud.
Second, old suburbs around cities have become more leftist, but if you get a few miles further out you get ruby red territory. In my state "old growth" suburbs from the 1950s went Democratic even as minority turnout and voting favored Democrats less (and newer suburbs and exurbs became ever more Republican under Trump).
Third, when you take away the college educated (who are not and are not likely to ever be an absolute majority of voters), all sub-groups other than black women are getting more rather than less Republican.
Four, people don't understand policy. They'll claim to support things they end up voting against. A recent YouGov survey was absurdly lopsided towards Democrats, and all the cross-tabs claimed that nobody supported Trump's policies. Yet even in this crap survey, the midterm result was D+3, which might keep the House red.

The elliptical is 33% of anything. What is the increase? 5%.
Why is there an increase? It's not that these lame brains are special it's that the kids have been spoon fed this crap since kindergarten.
The amazing thing is that the increase is only 5%. Which indicates that there are many young people out there who are capable of critical thought. We must dig at the problem root an branch; teachers and the colleges that have spawned them.

The Republican Party basically backing out of politics aside from juicing up the endless war machine and occasionally commenting that rape is God's plan didn't help one bit.
Not to mention the endless sea of grifters, jackals, and assorted spineless retards that has paraded through as "R", being afraid to challenge the communist social contagion, or just complicit in it, while Democrats fortified their position in every aspect of waking life.
12 years of Trump is going to change people's opinions and attitudes toward a lot of things. What you are seeing now is what my Brit wife refers to as "Obama's Children" - you are going to equally see "Trump's Children" up and coming - IF the Republicans don't just hand the country back over which I kind of expect them to. Look at the SAVE Act and ask yourself what Republicans are gonna do post-Trump. Better yet, don't.

As someone who has been in the education system for over 20 years now (un-unionized, proudly), the idea that these guys are great at brain-washing people is bizarre to me. The biggest union shills are exceptionally lazy and entitled. They can and sometimes do get their students to parrot back their views, but it's about as impactful as that British teacher in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" having his students repeat the definition of an acre back to him.
Not that the education system shouldn't be revamped. It should. End the credentialism based on degrees and make teacher training entirely about managing a classroom. Then encourage burned out middle-aged professionals to transition to teaching once they've learned some methods. Teacher "training" now is all crap theory taught by people with less than five years in the classroom. The TikToks showing HS grads who can't read a sentence are the result. Such people don't even vote, unless they think they are personally getting what whig called their "cheese".

I don't understand this pessimism. Almost no states even allowed concealed carry in the 1980s. Now more than half the states allow it without a permit. How is this right being gradually lost?
The biggest problem facing concealed carry permit holders is that if you ever have to use it in a blue enclave, even if the other person is a criminal with a track record, the authorities will do everything they can do to put YOU away

I hate to say it, but "living their lives" seems to mean work the system, commit low-level crimes, take drugs, pump out babies etc and none of that needs some ideological gloss.

She has called the U.S. an “effing disgrace”, and said in a prior social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”
Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.
Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court.

I don’t touch the students. At all. For any reason. Problem solved.
But I do see your point. I knew teachers who joined unions for that reason. (I’d replace unions with legal insurance for that reason alone.). It didn’t help that in my one year (so far) we had an administrator who gave no fucks about discipline, though he’d happily bitch out the teachers.

I was witness, this is how unions got a toe/tow hold.
Early seventies frivolus lawsuits were being brought against teachers (this was planned) and liberal judges, instead of admonishing lawyers for insulting the court, were allowing them to come forward. - Here's the kicker.- When the teachers asked the administration to support them, Administration said, No, you are independent professionals you are on your own.
Then the union walked in and said, join me, I will support you. I will provide you with good lawyers. And they did.
It was a set up.

Cuba is collapsing worse than East Germany. The only question is going to be what survives.
Trump is going to give the same options that Venezuela got. The US is going to put them into receivership and the ones who can't reform will get hanged. Rubio is going to fight Trump over this one, bet on it.

Black popular culture seems riddled with disease. You look at the idols, the stars, and it's no wonder that criminality is the highest plateau young black people can aspire to. And the cycle of crime continues. And progresses into worse realms.
What is positive black culture? I think jazz is the only thing they've got, and while I like a lot of jazz, it seems to set up a barrier. "This is black music, not for anyone else."

Early seventies frivolus lawsuits were being brought against teachers (this was planned) and liberal judges, instead of admonishing lawyers for insulting the court, were allowing them to come forward. - Here's the kicker.- When the teachers asked the administration to support them, Administration said, No, you are independent professionals you are on your own.
Then the union walked in and said, join me, I will support you. I will provide you with good lawyers. And they did.
It was a set up.

I never got that sense from, say, R&B I heard on the radio growing up. Was it the time or was I young and naive? Maybe both…that sense is something I pick up in, say, gangsta rap. Which honestly, I don’t beat up too much, because heavy metal was treated much the same way back in the day.

It's like the orbit of a planet. There is a perfect circle then there is something that veers out side the circle.
Per Search Assist: An elliptical orbit is a type of orbit that has an eccentricity of less than 1, meaning it is shaped like an elongated circle or ellipse. This includes circular orbits, which have an eccentricity of 0, and is the path followed by planets and other celestial bodies around a central mass, such as the Sun.
---
As in, there is a group of like minded people , '... and to the Republic for which it stands' - a perfect circle. Then there are 33% who will always be saying , regardless of the group (it could be Straw's yacht club), 'ya but'.
There will always be 33%, ya, but's.

He is as strong as the man in charge. That's not a criticism of him. Very few of us are #1. How long have we waited for an honest to goodness man for president?

2 or 3 decades ago, everyone scoffed at the idea that could ever happen in Texas; but now it’s been 30 years since any Dem has won a statewide office, and their odds are getting less likely with time, not more.
This isn’t because the Texas GOP is so good; it’s awful. It’s because the Texas Dems are so bad!
If I would name the point where they ceased being a serrious contender here, it would be about 20 years ago when the chairman of the Texas Dems Party made a well publicized speech and said that from that point on, they were going to be the Brown and Black Party. And they didn’t need or want any white votes at all.

The TX GOP is…weird. My State Senator is good. He replaced a big government RINO. My State Rep sucks. One of the most Leftist Republicans there is, but we can’t get rid of him due to his voting the right way on red meat issues, and now he is hiding behind ‘I will stop the hordes of evil Muslims”.

Thats my go to when you want to get ripped fast. I had them at places that made them so strong you were only allowed 2. My best long island ice tea story was in texas in the early 2000's. I was there for a guitar show, and we were in an Outback, which for some reason made them nuclear strong. I got one in a 16 ounce mug, and it was strong. The waitress says " you know hon, we have them in a 20 ounce mug too". Well now, I'll take it. Damn I got hammered. The waitress later comes to clean up and reaches for that hug mug. I snatched it up fast, held it up and yelled "This is my war trophy!". She says "you can keep that mug hon". Its sitting in my kitchen cabinet as we speak. lol

I wouldn't have wanted to drive after the first one, and barely could walk after the second. We had diner at another place the next night and I ordered one, and it looked like they made it in a vase. It was like 16" tall with a fluted top. They had dinner rolls the size of small asteroids. I remember saying to the table that they weren't frigging kidding when they say everything is big in Texas. I only had 1 that night. 2 vases worth would have pushing it. lol

With my fascination of late with the Younger Dryas event, the current "warming" crap looks ridiculous. Look up a graph of the Greenland ice core going back to the late Pleistocene before the Event.
Rapid warming, followed by rapid cooling (and Biblical level flooding as ice sheets melted and sea level rose). That late to the current epoch, dubbed the Holocene. Now look at the end, the present compared to that.
Somewhere around 9ishK to 5K ya, the average temp was several degrees higher than it is now. They used to call that the Holocene climate optimum. The warmies don't like that term and you don't see it much any more.

He’s good , he’s real good, as always! Analyze that - it’s the most generic, noncommittal statement possible given the circumstances. It gives the appearance of saying something when in fact it says nothing at all.

She also returned home to drop off both her work and personal phones - which were later found wiped clean of all data. Her skeletal remains were discovered nearly a year later next to a handgun her family has stated did not belong to her. No bullet was recovered despite reports of a gunshot wound to the head.
Investigator Morgan Wright put it plainly: "You don't get slumped up on a tree... Most of the time, in every crime scene I've worked on, there are skeletonized remains, and there's no connective tissue left. Everything's on the ground in pieces."

Actually the ones around here make them good too, and a bit cheaper than most places. I had a great one last week at an italian place. There is a place I go to on monday night sometimes. They have really good wings and pizza and they make a good long island ice tea that has a kick to it. Usually I take the bike there, so I only do one. I would like to see what 2 would do, but not if I have to drive.

I have gradually formed a hypothesis, which I will be putting into words for the first time, to see how they taste. Like yours, it also has the potential to be confirmed or invalidated right after the midterms.
Theory: Trump's near-term plan is to out-crazy the Mad Mullahs into at least November, with whiplash from wild rhetoric not matching any tangible action.
Reason: To be a substitute for concrete action that could drive gas prices up, since losing the House would cost The Donald two years of histrionic investigations and impeachments, preventing much of anything from getting done for the rest of his term-limited time in office.
Consequence: That single portfolio had to be handed off (to VP Vance), since talking wild nonsense at Iran would undermine SoS Rubio's credibility with everyone else. It is one hat that he cannot wear with his others.

A lot of the hostility to the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis has to do with the Church of the Anthropogenic Climate Change Cult. When you look at how fast the climate can change, and caused by factors so beyond human control that it's laughable, it makes their whole agenda look stupid.
The other reason is they don't like a lot of the proponents (including Graham Hancock).

I was listening to a podcast the other day with Marc Defant, a big geologist and volcanologist at the University of South Florida. He was originally very hostile to the Younger Dryas Impact theory, and thought volcanic activity was the likely cause of the YD cataclysms.
Then he got to looking at the evidence objectively. He is now in the Impact camp, and joined the Comet Research Group, the main group studying this, headed by Allen West.
He admitted that it was just Graham Hancock using that that he didn't like. But, objectively, that has nothing to do with if Atlantis or some ancient civilization before actually existed or not (and he still doubts that very strongly).
He could beat the YDIH, so he joined it.

The cheat is on. They are the ones that have been doing it for all these years. DSA is the new home of those willing to risk (snicker) prison to cheat at elections. Remember who big-O had running around "registering voters"? Acorn. I'd bet my life those acorn people and their since infected ilk are ALL antifa/DSA now. They are Ayers' and Dorn's wet dream. Remember where O started his campaign?
With one exceprtion this is playing out the way a weather underground guy I knew in the 80's said it would. That exception being gun control. They expected full gun control by this part of the plan. They also expected the dollar to be worthless by now but that ain't happened either.

Chicoms manage their internal discourse. They also use their precious TikTok algos, that are driven by the Ministry of State Security, onto the American public. This is not about phone addiction, as much as latent propaganda and latent mind control.

I wasn't even here for most of the excitement. I was 70 miles away at my parents house. I rushed back after Mrs fd called me and once everything was back in order went back down there. Whereupon I found that the septic tank that was pumped 3 months ago was backed up into the showers. And the people installing a sprinkler system broke the water main going to the house, which after fixing got a lot of dirt in toilet valves so they run at a trickle now. Shall I tell you about the blinds?

Well, I was at my parents to stay with my dad while my mom went to Florida and she had ordered blinds from Home Depot and naturally scheduled installation while she was gone. They had someone come out and measure, and they paid way to much for them. ANYWAY, they don't fit the opening, they don't block as much light as the old ones, the valences sag, the handles are on the wrong side and I forgot what else. Dad hates them and after my mom and sister got home and the crying was done we all hate them and Home Depot.

The thing is, Taiwan proves that China can become democratic and modern. The core issue is that ALL faith was destroyed. There is no morality other than "if you can cheat, cheat."

Grandfather Lloyd remarked that both of his parents spoke German, and refused to teach it to him because of the Great War. (He was still upset about that decades later - would have been useful in 1942.) Anyhow, how does a guy with a Welsh surname have *both* parents speaking German?

We tend to not realize that Judeo-Christian values means we instinctively fall back on the individual in the image of God. Other religions and certainly atheism do not have that value. They are, therefore, not held back from atrocity by the value of human life. You might as well be a cockroach. And who deals fairly with a cockroach?

"Be good while you're here or you'll regret it for the rest of eternity" can make evil turn good.

Don’t get me wrong I think he got a lot right about China but there are some important things he missed. I also think he was largely right about the Japanese. I’m also not one given to conspiracy but some of the things about FDR going after him because Townsend knew FDR was pushing towards war with Japan ring partially true. YMMV

In the Seward small boat harbor, they put their pups on the back decks of various boats while they go fishing. I don't know how they learned it, but it keeps them very safe. And apparently they have passed down that knowledge for a few generations.

Croatia is Catholic Serbia, and therefore sympathetic with the Habsburgs (they use the Latin alphabet). When Yugoslavia was forced on the Balkan nations, the Serbs ended up in the driver's seat and that was bad news for some folks.
After Yugoslavia was conquered, the Croats were restored to a higher status. Naturally, they wanted to preserve that.
They lost. Tito won. And then when he died, they broke away and got German recognition because reasons.

I think it was about it's subject. The US was roaming the inland waterways of China and the Chinese didn't like it. It was a fact. In the 1930s (when the story took place) Nationalist China had finally found its strength and wanted the foreigners out.
That's it. You can read Vietnam into it, but it came out before Vietnam was much of a thing.
But China was, and so I think that's what it was about - how we "lost" China. Another factor is that it was now 30 years since those events had happened. That's often when people do historical films and reflect on a past that is fading away. Wait too long, and everyone who remembers it is dead.

So yes, the Nationalists are building their strength and in 1928 the Northern Expedition unifies the nation. But in the south, the Nationalists are already gaining control.
So the interval (40 years) is very similar to other flashbacks. Lots of World War I books emerged in the early 1960s for that reason. The vets are getting up there, and want to tell their stories.

One thing I’ve been taught throughout my education is to try and determine people’s motives, objectives and morals before you step in. When you liberate the oppressed make damn sure you know which side that is. The Taiping Rebellion was interesting in that regard. People jumped right in before they really knew what the motives were. That is until they witnessed the inhumanity and slaughter.

Not really. The treaty ports and trading rights were extracted at gunpoint. The interesting this is that the ChiComs have to really distort history to make the US a villain in the Unequal Treaty era, since we were the *only* power that did not want a concession. We wanted an Open Door, where all foreign powers could trade on the basis of equality with no carve-outs are special rights.
The Asiatic Fleet was there to secure American interests and keep banditry down, and I think the movie shows that we got along with the Chinese quite well until Nationalist fervor took hold. At that point the crew is basically just trying to live through it, breaking out to the coast.

It is a party with views that are antithetical to our democratic republic. It seeks to subvert our ideals and system of government by any means possible including murder. It is not going to stop until we curb stomp them out of existence. The unfortunate part is it is attracting a lot of like minded and disaffected people who are swayed by their lies and unrealistic promises. It’s really an insurgency because it’s no longer a debate about how to achieve what is best for our country. Their motives are to destroy it using the very auspices which underpin our society- the social contract, law, liberty, freedom and the Constitution. We must win this battle.

The DSA appears to be shut out of the California gubernatorial race this year, also the lieutenant governor's office, which keeps the state safe for 8 years. But after that, I bet DSA Mayor Nithya Raman gets in so she can do for the entire state what she'll have done to LA.

Why in the world do you need a toaster that's connected to the internet? One that costs $450?
You can get a perfectly serviceable toaster that will last forever (more or less) from Walmart for a fraction of that cost.
And it won't talk back to you and report your bad toasting skills to social media when you inevitably burn something.

This is the correct answer. China is obsessed with symbols of power, so having aircraft carriers means China is also powerful. Their carriers are garbage, and the latest "supercarrier" uses magnetic catapults but relies on conventional (oil) power, meaning it has pathetic endurance. Can't cross the Pacific without a train of refuelers.
Carriers are NOT obsolete, as the war against Iran showed. Nuclear carriers have incredible endurance, stand-off strike capability and a great deal of flexibility in terms of what type of operation. Hypersonic missiles are being hugely oversold. Carriers move. They move constantly. So course corrections are vital, but if a carrier is over the horizon and your satellite comms are jammed, you are firing blind.

What this means is the water is less supportive. Freighters can't carry as much cargo as they can in salt water. Swimming is more difficult.

AGAIN: The BBC Fake-Apologizes For Deliberately Covering Up for "Trans Woman" Who Threatened to Murder Little Girls At School for the Crime of "Misgendering"
This is the real face of "transfemicide."
Whatever that is, and that's not a Tuq'r Qarlson style evasion -- seriously, whatever that made-up word for a made-up non-trend is. On January 19, the BBC "reported" on "threats" made against schools. Here is their first report -- keeping all relevant facts out of public sight.A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to schools across Merseyside, causing some to go into lockdown, has been jailed. Darren Rigby, 21, of Runcorn admitted three counts of sending communication threatening death or serious harm over a number of days. Holly Lodge Girl's College in Liverpool, Greenbank High School in Southport and later The Belvedere Academy in Princes Park in Liverpool were targeted in January.The threats were serious enough that the schools temporarily closed. The "younger girls" were "particularly affected" and were "terrified." Parents and the public generally would want to know what occasioned these threats, and what kind of a person this "man" is. But the BBC refused to tell them. Only now, six months later -- after the man threatening to murder little girls is sentenced to 28 months -- do they admit the motive for the crime:
A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to three girls schools, threatening to target pupils and staff over the "misgendering" of trans girls, has been jailed... In the email to Holly Lodge on 19 January, he said he was "inside the school, hiding with a sword and crossbow", adding that he was "going to injure and kill as many girls as I can" and anyone who "tries to stop me will also be shot". On 23 January, he sent a message to Greenbank, saying he on his way "to the school with a revolver and machete". He said he was "going to shoot and stab all of your girls", adding that "you TERFS" [an acronym of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist which has been used as a derogatory term against women opposed to gender ideology] were "going to learn to stop mocking and misgendering transwomen like me".A transwoman? Note that the BBC always claims that "transwomen" are women -- until one of those transwomen threatens the mass murder of little girls, and then they just call him a "man." Why the sudden change to the stylebook rule about identifying "trans women" as "women," BBC? See more from John Sexton at Hot Air. The BBC "apologizes for the failures in its reporting," but does so with a lie: they claim that the reason these key details were omitted was a simple "miscommunication" between reporters and editors. Do you believe that? Because I'll tell you, I don't. Trust us, they lied. Fire them all. Every single person involved in this corrupt suppression of reality, and everyone involved in drafting this fake cover-up non-apology.
Not nearly good enough @BBCNews.

A leading figure in San Francisco's cartoon community admitted to secretly recording guests, including children, inside a bathroom at his home, according to court records. Andrew Farago, who was a curator at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum, was arrested earlier this month at his South Berkeley home on 20 counts of invasion of privacy for using a camera to record the unsuspecting victims at a birthday bash last month. The 50-year-old had hosted the party at his house on May 23 where both adults and children used his bathroom. At one point, a woman found a cellphone in the bathroom recording video. Farago had allegedly set the phone up and concealed it with a towel, and then aimed the phone "to record people's genitalia as they used the restroom," police said. She confronted Farago, who police said admitted to the sick surveillance while claiming that he deleted the videos. He also apologized via email to his party guests, court records showed. "I hid my phone in our bathroom for the purpose of spying on our guests, my closest friends in the world. I had never done anything like that before and don't know what possessed me to do it," he wrote in the note. Farago added that he "is prepared to face whatever consequences will come from this tremendous lapse in judgement."Really? So you're not going to fight a prison sentence and being placed on the sex offender registry? The guy is married (or "married"), but don't waste any sympathy for his wife, who Van Sciver says is just as vicious a bitch as her "husband" is.
This is the guy who wrote an impassioned letter to the head of Warner Brothers to get me fired from my job at DC Comics. It got forwarded to Dee Dee Myers, who worked for the Clinton Administration.

You may remember Farago as a loud, outspoken, defender of every instance of "the current thing." It's almost as if these virtue-signaling "male feminists" are throwing up a smokescreen. 🤔 Patton Oswalt would tell you the worst part is the hypocrisy. My stance is that the worst part is the sexual predation. Berkeley man Andrew Farago taped party guests in bathroom, police say

Someone posted a link, can't find it, an Englishman explaining how Britons are not citizens but subjects. A subject of the Crown.
I really puts them in their place and illustrates how amazing being a Citizen is.

Oh, I know! The 'why' for any kind of cheating is always twofold: first, "Because I *wanted* to" is the explanation for the act; and then, "Because I *deserved* it" is what justified doing whatever it took.
I've never been married, but I've heard that a betrayed spouse can spend literally years confused about 'why'. Don't overthink it; the cheater certainly didn't.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the embassy fencing to be removed outside the Federal Building in Eugene, Oregon.
The fencing was recently installed in response to ongoing violent riots carried out by Antifa and aligned anarchist groups since June 2025.
Rioters shattered windows and breached the facility earlier this year, prompting FBI manhunts.

Look to the right a man is lying on his back, walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood, a tiny smear. He's likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors. Hands on head, walk out. They search me. I think two killed, maybe a child.

Britain is considering forcing social media companies to prioritise what the government called trusted news sources as part of its broader push to tighten regulation of the sector.
The culture department said on Monday it was considering requiring platforms such as Meta's Facebook, Alphabet-owned YouTube and TikTok to make content from public service media — including the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 — and other trusted news providers easier to find in users' feeds and searches.

I'm at the local branch library here in Chico looking for a book - its a small single level building. I hear a loud bang. Maybe a metal shelf dropped on vinyl flooring? Then a second bang. I understand. [slow time] Fleeting glimpse. It is a maniac with a shotgun. 5-7 shots total; can't see him. Then silence. Reloading? Creep east, peek north down the long aisle #1. Shotgun on the floor. Suicide? Walk over to the shotgun, no one about. Look farther right, a man is lying on his back. Walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood; a minor smear on right cheek. He is likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. Step past him, look south down long aisle #2. View obstructed, but no one living or dead. Back up, I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors; not pointing weapons directly at me, but at the ready. Unprompted, hands on head, walk out double doors. They search me. Two adults killed(?) Also an upset child escorted to ambulance? Not freaked out, dunno why. I'm glad I didn't look too closely.

President Lyndon B. Johnson frequently conducted official meetings while seated on the toilet. This unconventional practice was a deliberate tactic of his persuasion style, known as the "Johnson treatment," designed to create awkward environments that allowed him to dominate conversations through flattery or bullying.
Bathroom Tactics and Installations Johnson often left the bathroom door wide open and installed telephones in various White House bathrooms to ensure he never missed a call while using the facilities. He would summon aides into the room, and if they attempted to maintain his privacy by turning away or standing at a distance, he would insist they come closer to hear him better.

Second shot; then a brief quiet. I've still not seen the shooter or his precise location; no screaming, shouting or any other noise. I'm looking directly across the center of the room and the shooter appears (no longer concealed by the 6 foot high "hold" books shelving.) He is on aisle #2: He is 6 foot tall, slender, has a long stride, is edge-on to me, and is moving briskly (not running). I see for him 1.5 seconds and then he's out of my view angle. I lose sight of him. Now he begins shooting again; 3,4,5 shots. Quiet again, no one is screaming or shouting. I really believed the shooter was reloading (apparently not.) Time passes; I've literally no idea how much time has passed. I now creep forward and look down the long aisle and see the shotgun on the ground. I immediately (foolishly) think he's a suicide and walk down the aisle and stop directly next to the shotgun. He's not there. But I see a man lying on his back, walk over and he's clearly dead. I step forward two paces and look (to my right) down aisle#2. Nothing, I retreat two steps, look left, and realize that CPD officers are kneeling at the rear ..

I'm SO GLAD I got through school when I did, rather than *now*-- as a tomboy, interested in mechanical things, good at math, late-bloomer (rather flat-chested), and somewhat athletic...

Woke Prophet James Talarico Is So Convinced of His Chuch of Progressivism Dogma He's Busy Deleting It All From His Website to Snooker Texas Voters
He's even deleting the word "progressive."
See, he's a moderate now you guys.Texas's Talarico Scrubbed Website of Statements Supporting 'Trans Kids' and 'Bold, Progressive Ideas' Ahead of Senate RunSomehow Talarico can't convince Texans that he's actually a man.
Talarico, who represents a deep-blue district in the State House, has excised the word 'progressive' from campaign site
Texas Democrat James Talarico's website once promoted his support for "trans kids" and "bold, progressive ideas." That was then. Around the time he launched his Senate campaign in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the upper chamber since 1988, that changed, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Today, as Talarico tries to break the Texas Democrats' dry spell, his campaign website makes no mention of his "progressive" values. As a state lawmaker representing a deep-blue Austin district, Talarico was not shy about broadcasting his left-wing views. On his site's homepage, the 37-year-old said he was "not afraid to stand up to Republican extremism" and boasted about leading "the fight against their efforts to bully trans kids, ban books, whitewash our history curriculum, gut public education with a private school voucher scam, and force their Christian nationalist agenda onto the people of Texas." The site's "Accomplishments" section, meanwhile, presented Talarico as a champion of "Bold, Progressive Legislation." "I'm committed to building momentum for bold, progressive ideas--no matter how long it takes," Talarico wrote, according to an archived version of the site from August 2025, less than a year ago. "I've introduced ambitious legislation to give every Texas teacher a $15,000 raise, legalize marijuana, combat climate change, and repeal anti-union laws that keep workers from organizing." The site got a makeover in early September, when Talarico launched his Senate campaign, archives show. The homepage credits Talarico with fighting "billionaire mega-donors" rather than "Republican extremism." A "Meet James Talarico" section touts the Democrat's efforts to "expand job opportunities for young adults" rather than fight for "trans kids." And the site's "Why I'm Running" page says the "biggest divide in this country is not left vs. right" but "top vs. bottom." The word "progressive" has vanished. The revisions reflect the challenges Talarico faces as he attempts to swap a State House seat in the liberal enclave of Austin for a U.S. Senate seat in a state that has not sent a Democrat to the upper chamber since 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen was elected to serve a fourth term. Kamala Harris won Talarico's Austin district by nearly 50 points in 2024, when President Donald Trump won Texas by nearly 14 points. In his earlier races, Talarico presented himself as a "Democrat," with endorsements from left-wing groups like "Liberal Austin Democrats," who's "fighting back against Republican extremism." Now, he says he's an "eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian" running to "take his fight against corruption to Washington."
The New York Post reports on something I'm pretty sure is no longer on Talarico's website: He's a self-declared "fanboy" of a a self-described "TransQueer Latinx" theologian.
Talarico's State House and U.S. Senate campaigns also share donors, most notably Talarico's mother, Tamara Talarico, with whom Talarico shares a checking account. She has contributed thousands of dollars to federal Democrats since 2023, including $650 to Talarico's Senate campaign, and contributed $5,000 to his campaign for state representative in 2021. That same year, she and Talarico's adoptive father, Mark Talarico, covered Talarico's "moving expenses" at a cost of $1,437.84, records show. Talarico was 32 years old.
Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico once lavished praise on a self-described "TransQueer, Latinx" activist theologian as a major source of inspiration for his left-wing philosophy. "When you started following me on Twitter, I couldn't contain my inner fan boy, because I read your book last year and it continues to inspire me and y'all's work continues to inspire me," the state lawmaker told Roberto Henderson-Espinoza during a March 2021 podcast appearance. "I told you I was a boring, straight, cis white man, and I added 'Presbyterian' to spice it up," Talarico added. "My imagination is also just limited by my own background and identity." "My whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limit my imagination about what's possible," he went on. "And that's where ... your book helps me do that." Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns and self-describes as Mestizaje (mixed race), autistic, non-binary, transgender, and Latinx.Autistic? No.
The book Talarico referred to was Henderson-Espinoza's "Activist Theology," published in 2019, which lays out a brand of progressive religious values aimed at fighting "interlocking supremacies." The two began interacting in February 2021 after Talarico followed Henderson-Espinoza on X and described himself as "a BIG fan." Since winning the Democratic nod for Senate, Talarico has faced a deluge of attacks from Republicans accusing him of being too woke for Texas. GOP critics have pointed to Talarico's past remarks, including from 2021, when he explained that "In my faith, God is non-binary," argued that the Bible is fine with abortion, and suggested that there are six biological sexes.
Talarico's past affinity for Henderson-Espinoza seemingly provides some clues about where he was getting some of those ideas. In 2018, Henderson-Espinoza penned a paper calling for "transing religion as one approach to methodologically dismantle the logic of the norm that grounds the reproduction of binarisms and theologies of complementarity." He praised the Bible as "trans-positive," described transgender individuals as "Easter icons," and has given sermons while wearing "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia.

'Citizen Vigilante' is the exact cultural pipe bomb we deserved in 2026.
Is it an artistic masterpiece? Hell no. It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention?
--
This would be the same Uwe Boll who directed all three BloodRayne movies; House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark.
They were well-shot, I thought. And a decent plot. Just ... the dialog is so baaaad.

Imagine some gollum nazi questioning another person's masculinity. Watching the clip, I don't think I've ever seen him smiling until now. Definitely unsettling.
....and Hannity just sits there like the dutiful lemming he is and let's this asshat slander Talarico -- a far bigger man than any of them.
They know they can't win on policies. They know that Abbot is unpopular and seen as a corrupt loser. Thier only chance is to tell white working class voters Talarico is a whimp and a girly-man because that will impact the male voters of Texas.
The “what is a woman” crowd doesn’t know what a man is. They think *that* guy is qualified to gatekeep masculinity. 🤣😂🤣
Talarico is the kind of Christian they all think they are. He's walking the walk. I'm not interested in religion by any stretch, but his version of Jesus is the guy from the stories, not the one sold on FauxNooz. They know that and hate him for it so they're trying to discredit him.
Texas may go blue in November (if we're allowed to vote).

I guess the OT scriptures on treatment of homosexual relationships is totes "trans-positive", as are the NT scriptures:
Romans 1:24-27
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Then gave the name of the Church as The Elevate Church.
It made me laugh. "Elevate Church" sounds like some weird libtard church out of California. Something like a church Talarico would attend.
I could be wrong but if so they need to realize that they're here in the Great State of Texas.

They constantly return to the fantasy of a man made utopia like a dog returns to its vomit. They defy nature. They celebrate sodomy, and mutilation of the innocent in the service of the basest earthly urges. They tell you that the virtuous are wicked, and the wicked virtuous. They elevate sin as the highest expression of art, and the highest form of love.

Aside from everything else that is insane, laughable and infuriating about this whole "pronouns" debate, the thing that is MOST ridiculous is their insentence on not knowing the difference between Subjective and objective cases in basic English grammar.
If you're going to mangle reality and demand that a woman be referred to by male pronouns, yu're supposed to say "he/him," with "he" being the sub jective case singular, and "him being the obje3ctive case singular.
E.g. "He is standing over there. I will give a flower to him."
But no. Now these maniacs demand, defying all logic and grammar, they they use two differen subjective pronouns, one being for the bjective place in a sentence:
"He is standing over there. I will give a flower to they." ???
Insead, what they (pun inrended) are doing is using the prounun demand to delineate the range or span of crazy-person dream-world identities they occupy, as in "I'm someone in the range between 'he' and 'they'."
And Noah Webster spun in his grave.

149 Real Christians are fooled by these fake Christians. This has been going on fr decaes -- outlandish communist radical revolutionaries and sexual deviants cosplays as "Christian" pastor, priests, etc., in some ludicrous extreme-left pseudo-church.”
Real Christian’s are not fooled by this; only those where the seed fell on thin soil. (See the parable of the sower). And the people doing this always think they’re doing something new, when actually this started about 10 minutes after the Apostle Paul decided to take a trip around the Mediterranean.
That’s why Talarico will fail so badly - he and his backers think Christians don’t know about false prophets and false teachers. I’ve got news for you; we’ve seen it all before, and from far more skilled versions than this sad little twink.

“Polls” said Paxton and Cornyn were too close to call in the runoff. Paxton one by a 2-1 margin. Not one single poll got within 15 points of the outcome.
Some will say “oh that’s because Trump made a late endorsement”. Nope. At best, that changed Paxton’s margin from 62 - 38 to 63 - 37.
It’s a pretty good epitaph for polling when not one single pollster caught one of the biggest landslide wins of the entire cycle.

They look at Christian’s like anthropologists studying gorillas out in the wild. Which is why they never have a clue about what Christians actually think, and why they always get it so laughably wrong when they try to craft some message that will be “appealing”.

I agree with you in almost every respect. But for several cycles, I’ve been (for my own amusement) trying to forecast Texas results and have gotten pretty close. (It’s actually a pretty predictable state)
I put Paxton at 57-43 in the fall, partly because I think black voter turnout is going to be very low, and that kills democrats in Texas.
Only big surprise was how close Beto got, and that was mainly the creepy Old College Boyfriend vibe he gave to so many middle aged women.

Germany had a goofball election system with 2 stages to be elected president. Hitler did not win a majority but Hindenberg failed to reach 50 percent himself and had lost support overall to other candidates, including Hitler. In the runoff Hitler picked up more votes for President than others did. After the election Hindenberg's chancellor called a Reichstag election and the Nazis became the largest party in the country by a good margin and after the deadlock Hindenberg appointed Hitler to the chancellorship and that was pretty much that. "not having a majority" doesn't mean much if you accept multiple fragmented parties that can't govern alone.

North Texas Antifa Cell Members Recieve Combined 450 Years as Sentence for "Protest" Involving Shooting of a Cop in the Neck
Andy Ngo delivers the good news.
The actual shooter got 100 years, a trantifa ringleader got 70 years, and various other antifa/trantifa conspirators got 50 years, with a couple getting 30. The left is claiming this is an "attack on free speech" because their violence is, of course, "speech."BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: North Texas Antifa Terror Cell Members Sentenced to Combined 450 Years in Federal PrisonA Mexican national received 30 years. See the article for the whole list.
And their legal woes are not yet over.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Eight members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell received historic federal sentences on Tuesday, with prison terms ranging from 30 years to life in prison for their roles in the shooting ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The attack led to the first federal Antifa terrorism prosecution -- and later convictions -- in U.S. history. U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.
Bradford Morris, a trans militant and sex worker known as "Meagan Morris," who lived in a Dallas commune with other trans individuals he referred to as his "wives," was sentenced to 50 years. (The Kessler Heights neighborhood commune also functioned as one of the group's bases.) Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Elizabeth Soto was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
... The defendants were among nine Antifa members convicted by a federal jury in March following the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history. Their prison sentences are the longest in American history for convicted violent Antifa members.But antifa is just an idea
Jurors found the defendants guilty of offenses including providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy involving explosives and related crimes. The trial featured extensive evidence regarding the group's ideology, planning and preparation for the attack. Seven co-defendants pleaded guilty ahead of trial, and five agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against their comrades. As part of their plea deals, they admitted in signed stipulated facts to the court that they organized behind an antifa ideology.
One of those co-defendants, Lynette Sharp, told jurors that members trained together with firearms and coordinated through encrypted Signal chats. Evidence introduced at trial showed that members operated under aliases and carefully planned the direct action. Jurors viewed video evidence showing the cell arriving dressed in black bloc and equipped with firearms, body armor, medical supplies and explosive devices. According to testimony, Song acquired 11 firearms and distributed them among members of the group before the operation. The group used explosive fireworks to lure federal agents and facility personnel from the detention center before opening fire.More at the link. Additional codefendants will be sentenced on July 1. Violent antifa propaganda rag the New Republic calls this a "crackdown on free speech." Oh, New Republic? Do we conservatives equally have the right to use guns against the left as part of our "free speech"? Think carefully before answering.
Lt. Gross survived the shooting. Jurors were shown his blood-stained ballistic vest during testimony. Investigators recovered a cache of weapons, ammunition and electronic devices stored in Faraday bags designed to block signals. Authorities also later recovered Antifa anarchist propaganda. Testimony established that members of the group had trained together and collectively acquired more than 50 firearms before the attack.
The federal government rounded up 18 activists tied to an anti-ICE protest in Texas, claiming they were part of an antifa cell. And it's the first big test of Trump’s crackdown on free speech. https://t.co/tdiFjbwzef pic.twitter.com/CDtXSRHiZS

New Republic cries foul when DOJ charges Texas Antifa protesters “even though they weren’t there” with conspiracy/material support in an ICE facility shooting.
But when the exact same legal theories were used on Jan 6 defendants…
Benjamin Song, who shot and wounded a police officer during a July 4th protest at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, was sentenced to 100 years in prison today.

Cancer update:
I have stage 2, "unfavorable intermediate" cancer.
Unfavorable intermediate is an awful name for what it means, which is the middle but bad enough that they want to treat it. Oh, and it's more aggressive than previously thought so here are the treatment options.
I can go with surgery (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or radiation plus temporary chemical castration (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or, of course, death. Pretty sure I'm gonna rule out the last option so I just have to decide on which set of pretty unfortunate side effects I prefer.
Yay!

No special equipment required. A small room that can be closed off. Strap miscreant in chair, tape plastic film over vent(s), open valve on nitrogen bottle in corner, leave, close door and place towel across the bottom.
Come back in an hour to collect carcass. Open door (and window if available) wait a half hour or so to enter.

wow 50+ years that's insane and disgusting. Im pretty sure this violates the constitution. Cruel and unusual punishments are banned.
It's because if a cop gets hurt, they like to throw the book at people as hard as they can. (except Jan 6ers) It's not like the person with the AR-15 was doing a Rittenhouse and killing who they see as race traitors, otherwise they'd get CPAC celebrations.
Am I reading that right? Dude got 30 years prison time for moving some "zines" ? Like pamphlets? What in the actual fascist fuck?
Yes. We have lost the First Amendment if you can be charged for having literature. Next up your vote and voice will be removed. The republican government cant lose all that freedom they have given themselves after all.

We stopped into a little storefront ammo joint in Texas when there for the MoMe. It was exactly as you would expect. Just like AK, for that matter. DH and the guys talked all sorts of fun gun stuff. They should have put in comfy chairs and a potbellied stove or a checkerboard or something. We bought them out of some kinds of rounds, and they were appreciative, but I thought we'd be there for hours.

A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City’s Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.
Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.

Starbucks is about to get it's posterior handed to them on retail products. Lavazza Coffee (Italian coffee Company) is scaling up their production in the US. You might have already noticed their new presence on the shelves. This is a direct result of the current economic policy to entice corporations to set up shop in the US. Lavazza has vastly increased the size of a roasting plant they set up in West Chester, Pa...and that means their distribution costs are going to be less than Starbuck's for the East Coast. And, they are already about $3 cheaper on a 12 oz. bag of retail bought coffee. And, IMO it tastes better...especially since it's now roasted closer to home, and fresher at the store.
I predict some Starbucks store closings coming up shortly.

Politico: Senator Reuben Gallego (Who Fancies Himself a Candidate for President or VP in 202 Shared a Joint Back Account With His F***buddy Eric Swalwell, Used His Campaign Kitty to Pay for Personal Expenses
I can't believe that this slob believes he can be President or VP.
He thinks he has an in because he's Hispanic and Democrats are nothing but racial panderers. Oh, I guess he does have an in, then.Gallego tapped campaign cash for family travel, Super Bowl tickets, records showA Democrat using public funds to pay a family member for "services rendered"?! I did not see that coming.
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) has deployed donor funds to cover travel for his family, child care and a trip to the Super Bowl, a POLITICO review of campaign finance records shows.
Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator's spending. The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 -- including $400 to his wife's mother for babysitting.
Unbelievable. He blamed his misappropriation of funds for personal use on... Trump.
And Federal Election Commission records show that on one such occasion, Gallego used a joint campaign account with disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell to attend the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona with his wife, Sydney. Federal lawmakers can legally use campaign committee funds for travel, food, events and even child care, as long as those funds are not for "personal use," meaning they may not cover activities that would exist irrespective of the campaign, according to the FEC. Leadership PACs are not even beholden to that "personal use" rule, meaning lawmakers have broad latitude to use the money they raise as long as it has some fundraising function. Ruben Gallego has leaned into that leeway, with his three children, Sydney Gallego, her mother and their full-time au pair frequently joining the senator on donors' dime, according to the person, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation. "He just spends his campaign account like it's his personal slush fund," said the person. "He's using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle." Gallego did not dispute using donor funds to pay for family travel or child care. "This is not breaking news," he said in a statement to POLITICO. "With the rising costs of child care and the burden it has on the budgets of American families, Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House alike regularly travel with their wives and children, as is permitted by the FEC."
Dude, you had an affair with a staffer and then divorced your wife when she was nine months pregnant. You went around the world with Eric Swalwell while he was banging whores in hotel rooms in which you were present as well. This is not a "conspiracy theory."
Gallego is considering a presidential run in 2028. On Friday, Gallego traveled to South Carolina, where he took part in the Democratic Party's "On the Road" series on Juneteenth. But the pattern of spending could pose a major liability on top of his longtime friendship with Swalwell, who resigned from Congress in April amid allegations of sexual assault and a series of headlines about his misuse of campaign funds. ... The person familiar with his spending said that there was concern among some members of Gallego's inner circle that he would not pass the required vetting to be president or vice president. ... Gallego has denied any knowledge of Swalwell's actions and called for him to be expelled from Congress. Swalwell has called the allegations against him "false" and pledged to fight them. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) told CBS News in April that she had asked Senate leadership to investigate Gallego about allegations of misconduct that are "sexual in nature," as well as "issues of campaign finance violations" but did not release details. A Gallego spokesperson called those allegations "right wing conspiracy theories." Luna did not respond to a request for comment.

I've seen documentaries.
Look at me reading content.
Federal lawmakers can legally use campaign committee funds for travel, food, events and even child care, as long as those funds are not for “personal use,” meaning they may not cover activities that would exist irrespective of the campaign, according to the FEC. Leadership PACs are not even beholden to that “personal use” rule, meaning lawmakers have broad latitude to use the money they raise as long as it has some fundraising function. Ruben Gallego has leaned into that leeway, with his three children, Sydney Gallego, her mother and their full-time au pair frequently joining the senator on donors’ dime, according to the person, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation.

This is why none of these assholes will ever see the inside of a jail.
They spend so much time obfuscating, destroying evidence, and laying down false trails in their criminal activity that their defense attorneys can easily spin a web of lies to sway a jury that it was just a "misunderstanding."
The prosecution, meanwhile, has to unpack the complicated story and make it easy for a jury to understand that the politician broke black-letter law and therefore needs to go to jail.
Hard to do when the judge is often in cahoots with the defense.

Well, expulsion is a power of each chamber of Congress.
But successful expulsion takes 2/3 of the present voting body (with a quorum).
So, you'd need to get all 53 GOPers to vote for expulsion (possible, but Murk would vote no just because she's actually a Democrat) as well as 14 (scratch that, 15) Democrats to vote for it as well.
Would Fetterman vote for it? If you even have to pause to think about it, the answer is that no, 15 Democrats will never, ever come close to it.
Expulsion talk is like impeachment talk.

It's debatable that the people have any real power in elections, though recent results are more promising than usual.
Congress is dead-set against any real election reforms because the status quo is what keeps the old guard in power.
I'd be OK with lowering the bar for removing bad Congresscritters. Higher turnover might make some of them behave a bit better if they know there's at least a chance they will be removed from office.

But it was far less flawed than this.
I can't imagine, though, the world of shit that would arise if we repealed the 17th. State governments are FAR more addicted to federal spending now than they were in the late 19th century. "We are sending you to get the state government more free money," would be the rule for every senator in the Senate.

I think the DNC was able to get away with the cheat in 2020 and 2022 because the RNC allowed them to, not because the DNC was good at it.
The difference in 2024 was that the RNC didn't allow them.

1.) There are no standards. Any old sack of meat can be plugged into a Dem campaign at any time. The awful Hillary Clinton, Brandon and the blowjob queen all were, without regard to voters' wishes. It's all insider decision making and they will never suffer a Trump disaster in that Party.
2.) Congress and the Courts have both now unequivocally and very publicly shown that they will defend vote fraud no matter what. "Both" parties, til the end of time, to the last man.

Accused of mass murder and rape.
Several Senators throw up as the homemade snuff films air showing children being murdered. The crime is even more horrific since the 56 children were children and grand-chidren of the Senators themselves.
56 families experienced the unimaginable horror.
56 Senators sit and watch as the accused Senator snuffs out their own blood.
And in the end, 43 Senators vote for expulsion.

Under Threat of Anti-Trust Action, Un-American MLB Walks Back Threat to Discipline Players for Daring to Include Biblical References on Their Forced Gay Cosplay Hats
As you know, the San Francisco Giants forced players to wear pRiDe rainbow caps. Some players objected to being forced to wear this antibiblical message, so they put little strips of cloth on the caps noting a specific Biblical passage that mentions the rainbow as God's promise to never flood the world again.
It was a small attempt to balance out the compromise of their conscience being forced upon them by the Gay Mafia, Baseball Chapter, and the Gay Mafia could not tolerate that. They threatened to fine or discipline the players daring to safeguard their own consciences, citing fake rules that no player may ever include his own private messages on his uniform. That's a lie, the league allowed/encouraged BLM messaging on uniforms and cleats. Josh Hawley responded by threatening to investigate major baseball's unique and unlawful judge-made exemption to our anti-trust laws, and once again corporate back down because money and phony-baloney jobs are much more important to them than their woke posturing.
And BLM messages. And if you don't want players stealth-objecting to the pro-LGBT messages you're forcing them to repeat, stop forcing them to repeat pro-LGBT messages. Make wearing the Gay Cosplay optional.
MLB Walks Back Threats Over Bible Verses At Pride Night "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be."
Major League Baseball backed down Monday after threatening several San Francisco Giants players over Bible verses marked on their Pride Night caps, promising not to fine or discipline them for expressing their Christian faith. In a letter to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred said the league was enforcing existing rules and blamed the San Francisco Giants for a controversy that quickly became a religious-liberty flashpoint. "By warning the Giants players that they may not include Bible verses on their caps in the future, MLB was not discriminating or chastising those players based on their religious beliefs; rather, MLB was enforcing (with only an oral warning) a long-standing, collectively bargained rule that keeps uniforms clean and avoids controversy," Manfred said. Manfred explained that the MLB allows clubs to wear customized uniforms during just 12 league-sanctioned events each year, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, Sept. 11, and Jackie Robinson Day.
However, Manfred said individual clubs retain the flexibility to recognize other commemorative events throughout the season. He noted that in 2023, the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers successfully requested that their use of Pride emblems on uniforms and hats during Pride Night be grandfathered in under the league's policy.Oh, so some people are allowed to add their own messages to their uniforms, if the Gay/BLM MLB approves.
... "We understand that some players or other on-field personnel have not been comfortable wearing the pride emblem on their uniform based on their religious beliefs," he added. During Pride Night, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp was among them. He inscribed a passage from Genesis 9 on his cap in silver, placing it next to the rainbow logo. The verses describe God's promise to Noah and all future generations that he would never again destroy the earth with a flood, with the rainbow serving as the sign of that covenant.What a horror! I could understand some consternation if players were including the passage from Leviticus calling homosexuality a sin, but all they were doing was supplying an alternate justification for wearing the rainbow, noting that the rainbow was a promise from God. They would wear the rainbow -- with the gloss that the rainbow they were celebrating was God's rainbow. Acceptable? No! Tyrants must be obeyed! The San Francisco Giants decided, "No, not only do you have to wear the Gay Rainbow, you also have to mean the Gay Rainbow means what we say it means. We will not allow you to pretend the Gay Rainbow is anything other than your personal affirmation of homosexuality. Reject your god and bow to the new gods." But they're the good guys, right? Bullies and tyrants are always the good guys in history, right? I keep noticing that they way favored political minorities say they want to be treated is not the way they treat minorities when they have the (temporary, limited) majority power.
Fuck you. Strip their anti-trust immunity. This is the problem with monopolies. You can't just tell these players "Find another league that doesn't force you to confess sinful messages contrary to your religion," because the monopoly guarantees there is no other league to join.
... Shortly thereafter, MLB issued a verbal warning advising players not to include Bible verses on their uniforms in the future, triggering a wave of conservative backlash, including legal scrutiny from elected officials and state attorneys general. "The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages," Assistant Attorney General Dhillon wrote in a letter to Manfred. In a response to Hawley's scathing letter, Manfred appeared to deflect blame to the San Francisco Giants. "Unfortunately, this year the Giants' communication with players was inadequate and not clear. Some players apparently did not understand that they had the option to wear their normal uniform and elected to add messages to their hats bearing the pride logo as a result," he explained. "After the game had concluded, my office issued a routine oral warning about the uniform policy violation -- unfortunately, it was issued before we became aware of the Giants' lapse in communication," In a win for the conservatives, the MLB vowed that no players would be punished for the Bible verses. "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be," Manfield said.
In regard to the question of not allowing alteration of the uniforms, this is NOT true.

They allowed BLM patches and BLM messages to be written on cleats in 2021. So there's unequal accomodation of views here.
Senator Scott WienerFuck you. We'll keep in mind your own rules about how the majority should treat a minority going forward. How about that? Update:
@Scott_Wiener We’re not letting them hijack the Bible to "take back" the rainbow. The rainbow is about Pride. It’s about our beautiful LGBTQ community. And it’s about San Francisco beauty & joy. Happy Pride!
Our investigation into MLB will continue.

MLB thinks it can sweep this under the rug with a non-apology. Any sign of Christian viewpoint discrimination will be rooted out. https://t.co/pxGeYRiX4i

No pictures of your dog, no "Hi, mom," no Bible verses or Satanic verses, no not even a breast cancer ribbon (who can keep track of what color stands for which cause these days anyway) or anything besides the team logo. And if you want to open your yap about some political issue, do it in street clothes or pay a fine.

The theory I read somewhere is that different women have different things already, and also have different circumstances. So the one who already has money may be less impressed by ability to provide, while the one who lives in (or even just comes from) a bad neighborhood may need to feel physically protected. Of course, you can never really know for sure what's going on in someone else's head -- especially if she doesn't know herself -- but there are observable clues.
It may have been in How To Be The Man Women Want by Rory Miller, but I'm not sure.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

End qualified immunity. Completely.
Force cops to have to INDIVIDUALLY carry liability insurance. Same as other professionals.
Too many claims and the insurance company will drop them. No insurance, no work. No ability to change departments.
Most cops go through their entire careers without being sued for civil rights violations.
Those that are legitimately sued?
There's no reason the city/citizens should have to pay for it.
And maybe, just maybe, it'll force cities and counties to hire qualified individuals.

Why is it always the pitchers who won't wear pride patches? Is it something about that position that makes them most likely? 10 players in recent years and all were pitchers is statistically improbable.
Divas. Wide receivers of MLB Ohhh I have the ball in my hands a lot I'm important. Speaking balls in hand…could be a classic case of projection
pitchers are disproportionately (compared to position players) white Americans, which means they're more likely than position players to be evangelical Christians. That means they 1) feel safer expressing themselves and 2) often feel called by their faith to testify to their beliefs publicly.
A lot of down time and sitting/standing around during the game, in practice, when everyone else is taking BP, as a pitcher you have ample time to think, scheme, plot, and over analyze things
It's because they don't have to hit. Allows them to say whatever they want, knowing they won't be beaned for stupid stuff

Casting back to last thread, I think it’s pointless to blame either men or women. There's plenty of blame to go around. Out TV, movies, music, books, education, media etc. is an open sewer and now the judiciary is diving in off the high board. What to do about it I don't know other than to realize it's individual decisions by individual people which, I think, should be informed by religion. To quote the Police, "There is no political solution to our troubled evolution."

Baseball's antitrust exemption was one of a trifecta of awful, not good, just terrible rulings by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, one of the most overrated justices in our history.
It was ridiculously tortured "reasoning". Holmes opinioned that baseball was "personal activity", and therefore not interstate commerce. This was not and will not be applied to any other Big Sport Leagues.
In another ruling much later, they admitted, yeah this ruling was pretty an aberration, but punted the question to Congress, saying if Congress wants to break up the MLB monopoly by law, they can have it. They have so far not done that.

We�re not letting them hijack the Bible to "take back" the rainbow. The rainbow is about Pride. It�s about our beautiful LGBTQ community.
For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, the rainbow was a Christian symbol (based n it being the symbol of the covenant between God and Noah).
Look back at the signs, flyers and ads for Christain summer school day camps, bible classes, etc. etc. in the '50s and '60s -- v eryn ioften they depcited a rainbow. Still used in some churches to this day.
AND THEN, long after the rainbow was a confirmed Christian symbl, in 1970 sme gay dude sewed a flag with a rainbow design, and SUDDENLY the rainbow, is and always has been the exclusive property of homosexuals. Like, they have the trademark oin it.
Then more mthey press is, the bigger they will lose.

From July 1, food manufacturers and retailers across the Golden State will no longer be allowed to slap 'sell by' dates on most packaged foods sold to consumers, under a controversial new law aimed at tackling food waste and clearing up widespread confusion over expiration labels.
The shake-up, which will be felt across supermarket shelves statewide, effectively strips out a long list of familiar date markings that shoppers have relied on for years.
Instead of the confusing mix of phrases currently printed on packaging - including 'sell by,' 'freshest by' and 'expires on' - consumers will now see just two standard labels.
Products marked 'BEST if Used by' will refer to peak quality and flavor, while items labelled 'USE by' will indicate a hard food safety deadline.
State officials insist the change is designed to stop shoppers binning perfectly edible food simply because they misunderstand what date labels actually mean.

Happy Pride!

I recall reading that the designer of the rainbow flag specifically said it was intended to capture the post-flood rainbow that is mentioned in the Bible.
This recurring wish by the gay mafia to take and obligate and force does not appear to be about self-protection. It's actually part if the kink.

It takes place on "Pride Weekend" in Seattle....and both teams have already refused to wear rainbows on their uniforms.

Iran's threats (all they did in reality was jet around on Bass pro shop boats and shoot AK's in the air) killed their ability to do piracy in the strait.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday announced is seeking to fine an immigration attorney who allegedly filed false asylum claims -- the first time the agency has filed such a claim. Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, announced five notices of intent to fine attorney Vinod Doddamani, who they say filed 32 immigration cases in which he filed 64 fraudulent documents. Doddamani faces a $250,000 fine for what DHS says is a pattern of filing allegedly false asylum claims.

This is the end product of Protestantism. The same crap the current Pope is espousing. If anyone can decide what the Word of God "really" means, then it can mean anything at all, and tends to become rather self-serving.
I guess it is like handling snakes or writhing about during a church service. The notion that if it feels good it is from God, or some such nonsense. And don't get me started on the Prosperity Gospel, or the tele-evangelists who get rich from haranguing people.

Or, like in Calif if you are a COP, you can buy a PERSONAL 'Assault Weapon'... but as a civilian you cannot.
Posted by: Romeo13 at June 23, 2026 02:37 PM (mP0Kj)
That's annoying, for sure. Plus, a lot of cops supplement their income by purchasing a shit-load of off-roster pistols, import them into the state and sell them to other Californians for a hefty premium. The sale is done legally, through a dealer, but also runs afoul of the monthly sales numbers (just capped this year at 3 sales per month, from the previous 5 per month).
The thing that really pisses me off is that Hollywood armorers are allowed to buy anything they want for their rental stable: off-roster pistols, "assault weapons" under the CA definition, NFA weapons etc. Those fuckers can use airsoft guns and CGI muzzle flashes like you see in current Steven Seagal movies.

Two More Leftwing Incels Charged In Planned UFC Mass Casualty Attack; Another Incel Kills Two People in Montreal
Maybe young working-age men shouldn't spend all day on the internet jacking off with a robotic vagina. Maybe that's not the way God or biology (or both) designed men to live their lives.
Maybe it does something insidious to your brain.Just a thought.
TikTok, huh? Why does Trump permit China's propaganda/destabilization app to exist in the US? (It's banned in China!) That's a rhetorical question. I know why: Because it's popular among the brainwashed, vacant-eyed youths and no one wants to incense the incels. A lot of the more disturbed losers threatened to literally kill themselves if TikTok were banned. But sometimes, you have to bite the bullet. Meanwhile, a similar nihilistic violence event actually came to fruition in Montreal.
Two new defendants charged in alleged White House UFC mass-casualty attack plot Jordan W Rincker allegedly transferred a shotgun and funneled cash to co-defendants who planned to storm the White House
The FBI has identified two additional suspects in the alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., bringing the total number of publicly identified defendants to seven. Newly unsealed court records identify Missouri resident Jordan W. Rincker and Washington state resident William Lee Spartacus Falkner as alleged members of the conspiracy. Prosecutors say Rincker allegedly helped fund and facilitate the operation, while Falkner allegedly discussed procuring and operating drones intended for use in the attack. ... Falkner allegedly joined a Telegram chat devoted to drone operations June 7 and communicated with other alleged conspirators about drone procurement, tactics and the use of explosives, according to the Washington state complaint. Prosecutors allege Falkner discussed obtaining multiple drones through a network of contacts and argued that "the more drones the better." Court records also allege he exchanged messages about drone payloads, anti-jamming measures, fiber optics controls and the number of drones needed to carry out the attack. The complaint alleges Falkner claimed he could obtain drones capable of carrying heavy explosive payloads and discussed coordinating their acquisition with other members of the group. ... The newly unsealed affidavit also suggests investigators were examining whether members of the group discussed a potential future attack targeting a FIFA World Cup match scheduled for July 3 in Kansas City, Missouri. ... Prosecutors said the plotters met around March through a TikTok community known as "Vanguard of the Old" where participants shared workout videos and tactical content before moving to encrypted Signal chats.
Suspect 'neutralized' after Montreal shooting leaves at least 2 dead including officerVia Beege Wellborn at Hot Air, the incel left behind a manifesto attacking women and capitalism.
A suspected gunman has been neutralized by authorities following a Monday shooting in Montreal's Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood that left a police officer and a citizen dead
A gunman was "neutralized" Monday following a shooting in Montreal that left one police officer and one other person dead. Authorities told Fox News that the shooting happened in the Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood of the city. ... A male officer and a civilian died, he said. A female officer was injured and taken to a hospital in critical condition but was upgraded to stable condition.
Montreal shooting: suspect left a manifesto attacking women and capitalismAlthough a lot of this incel's manifesto appears left-wing, you can also see some echoes of the Left-Right Fusion of the Extremes that Tuq'r Qarlson and Cavernous Nostrils are trying to create. (Tuq'r has been railing against capitalism and in favor of socialism for some time. This shouldn't be surprising -- Hitler attacked capitalism as a Jewish contrivance as well. I wonder if this is the "revolutionary violence" he called for in his New York Times interview, before showing his coward's stripe yet again and denouncing himself for having admitted that. Go to 0:48 for that.)
The man, who drove from Alberta in recent days, espouses "incel" ideology
The man who opened fire in Montreal on Monday left behind a delusional manifesto in which he attacks, among other things, women and Western capitalist society. "Be unwavering, move forward, and KILL THEM ALL!" wrote Seth Hatfield in the conclusion of his 104-page document. Police were meticulously analyzing the text on Monday, in the hours following the tragedy that left three people dead. It is unclear whom the young man proposes killing. According to our sources, Hatfield drove from Alberta in recent days. Investigators believe he espouses an ideology aligned with that of "involuntary celibates," or "incels." In his lengthy text, which our Investigative Bureau was able to review, he laments "the state of affairs regarding young people (roughly under the age of 30) living in highly developed Western countries." He decries the plight of the majority of men, whom he calls "ordinary men." He contrasts them with a small number of "brutes"--men supposedly preferred by women due to their attractive physiques. The individual who donned a military uniform at the time of the act is nostalgic for a society founded on traditional values.
In a speech worthy of the Middle Ages, Hatfield lashes out in all directions. According to him, most women today engage in "frequent and cruel verbal abuse" toward men. Among other unacceptable remarks, he claims they have also "abandoned all or most efforts to be attractive" -- not to mention the refusal of some to have children. "For the average man, the closest thing to intimacy he is entitled to is usually watching internet pornography on his phone screen, in the darkness of his bedroom, late at night," he writes.I didn't say anything about your hobbies, dude.

This is what all of your screeching about Trump has accomplished in the past decade. So liberals, it's really time to sit down, take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself "am I in a cult".
I kind of feel like his parents may have some blame here. Spartacus? Really? Yep I will be damned William (no E) Lee Spartacus Falkner.
19 others involved. I assumed another "everyone else was actually an FBI agent and they conned some rube into making a case". Good on that kids parents for raising the alarm.
But, but, but....Antifa! They are trying really hard to get us to give a shit about that dumb UFC thing.

I get on the phone with person to try to resolve refund or transfer process as a result of the scheduling SNAFU, and the person on the other line gets all defensive, talks over me, is highly combative, while I am mostly calm in the face of their claims as to being "confused" as to what I am calling about. (How about you listen rather than talk over me, chick.) I come to suspect that this person was responsible for the scheduling SNAFU in the first place.
So at the end of the process, the person 180 changes tune when they find out I am asking for something reasonable and ordinary (transfer one person for the paid person's registration). And we make the changes.
As I am typing up my closing thanks communication, it hits me like a ton of bricks in the closing signature of the person. "They/Them."
FML.
No wonder they cocked up the schedule so thoroughly, if they can't figure out basics like gender "identity."

I think it's tragic, but understandable. She's in a firefight. She just saw her partner get shot and die. She's hiding behind cover and suddenly a man appears above and behind her.
I'm not going to armchair quarterback her. Yeah, she maybe could have taken a moment longer to see if the guy was armed. But if that had been the shooter, taking that moment might have cost her life.
Yes, it cost a man his life. But sometimes bad things happen and it's just the way it is.

Don't all WNBA teams play in the WNBA? I mean, declaring "WIN ONE FOR THE LEAGUE" doesn't really seem to be the halftime pick-me-up that they think it is......

I thought it was more of a regrettable condition than an ideology.

Think about it: on the one hand, an incel professes to be hetero and interested in girls and sex/relationships. Many actually claim to have pursued girls.
But the incel's motivation to get girls is completely -- and obviously -- undermined by the incel's total unwillingness to do anything that might make them more attractive to women.
They refuse to do anything to improve their appearance or social standing, and even go out of their way to look repulsive. Hell, they even deliberately develop terrible personalities.
Even ugly guys can get girls if they try. These incels are not only not trying, they're sabotaging themselves. I think they're all just fucked in the head.

A communist anti-Semitic incel decides to shoot up pornhub.
The cops respond.
One lady cop manages to shoot a random person who was in the neighborhood who turns out to be a local rabbi.
Meanwhile a male cop engages with the shooter and dies. The male cop's name? Mohammed.
So the anti-semite only managed to kill a muslim and yet another cop shoots a rabbi for him...

HEre's the reality:
Prior to the 1960s, MOST unmarried men were incels. It was expected that most people didn't have sex until marriage.
Butno one wa filled with rage abut it, becaue it was the default way society was arranged and had always been arranged. Sure, it was frustrating -- but it was designed toi be frustrating, to induce npeople to get married, and continue the nuclear-family-0with-kids structure of covlization.
The Sexual Revolution changed all that, and now it was expected that you could (and should) have sex before marriage. Everybody was swingin' -- except for the passive/nerdy/awkward/ugly/whatever guys that chicks rejected. But 8nstead of thinking, "No big deal -- it;'s not just me wh doesn;'t get laid, MST guys dn't get laid," these guys now thought, "It's nt fair! Everyone's getting laid exceot me!" So the creation of a promiscuous society created a demographic of frustrated "involuntary celibates."
The solution, is to revert back to the milliennia-old way that society was structured, where people doen't feel like losers simply for being virgins.

For guys, even the most repulsive can either rent a woman for a night, or force an unwilling one.
For women... well, I'm told that there's no woman so ugly that some man won't sleep with her.
So if you're celibate, it's because you want to be, or it's because you're not willing to put forth the effort to not be.
And for the record: for the unmarried, celibacy is the better option. It's inexpensive and peaceful.
The loneliness sucks, but you're not going to fix that by screwing random strangers.

The problem stems from every woman under 45, down to and including Gorlock the Destroyer, being told that they're a Tampa strip club 10 rather than a 3 AM Waffle House zero. (I think that affirmation comes with the first bottle of SSRIs now). As a result they're completely uninterested in men who actually are in their league and they'll press charges if one looks at them.

Were there incels in my time? I don't know one, which does not say much but it's true. There were boys who probably felt mad about not dating but did not kill anyone (we are not including serial killers here, maybe Bundy was an incel, altho he had girlfriends).
There were, no doubt, boys who were rather ugly, with cystic acne, and weird fetishes. I did not notice, but I wouldn't have been mean to them unless they messed with me.
I think social media plays a part in all of this insanity. Then 24hr cable news promotes the martyrs. The porno does not help and is icky.
It's all a new world out there for weirdos who feel rejected and angry. And probably full of SSRI's and bong water.
Is there an island we can ship incels to? If found on telegraph or other social media outlets by the feds? In mother's basement, angry and lashing out in their flannel pants?
Include the trans-wanna-be weirdos as well. Put them on an island with six months of food, water, shelter in a Quonset hut. Books only, classics. No Internet or Funyuns. Let them sort it out. Return in six months to see who survives and if they've changed their minds.
It's going to keep happening, sadly.

People are beating around the bush, here. The beer people hit on it. The unreasonable expectations people hit on it.
The problem is one of proximity.
And that problem stems from living in the digital world over living in the material world.
In the 70s and 80s, every non working and school hour was spent alongside friends, cruising, drinking beer, partying, plotting conquests.
Nowadays, you can have an array of 6 teens, and every single one of them is on their phone, rarely speaking to each other, only interacting through their devices or about their devices and what's on their devices.
My oldest loses his phone as punishment and blossoms as a conversationalist with unreal confidence with the ladies. He's handsome, but damn if his game does not increase 1000 fold when he's not on his phone.

Every young woman these days has it drilled into her head that the very least she deserves is a man that is so vanishingly rare that he might as well not exist...and even if she did meet this unicorn she's probably not even close to being in the same game, much less his league.

Yes. If your baseline standard is 6'2", $150K+ salary, and not in a relationship, you've already eliminated something like 98% of the dating pool. That's before you even get into things like shared values, intelligence, etc.

As it's becoming a statistical coin flip(or worse) this is a lot of people.
To all appearances the main cause seems to be women being unwilling or uninterested in pairing off with people who are actually their peers. There also may be a bit of an urban/rural divide where women crowd into cities. Then there's the issue of women who are college educated in poor paying careers looking down on tradesmen. Elevated self-evaluation of attractiveness and social status essentially.

If you watch how fast "progressives" abandon one cause or group for the next, you begin to realize it's all subversion and control.
I am not certain but these claims of "old" MAY refer to something more ancient or may just be so named to give themselves legitimacy and weight.
Progressives certainly don't want progress, we've seen it a billion times. So it's a matter of whether you can even trust these people to tell you what they really think. The throughline regardless would be the "subversion" of modern existence.
Whether to usher in something "old" or "new" to replace what we have is just window dressing.

************
I had brothers and lots of male friends from childhood through college. I played sports (tennis, basketball, swimming, shot pool) and partied and drank a lot of beer. I had fun and was not dating any of them. I know men as friends. Perhaps that is key?
There was also no social media putting scary stories about men so I was oblivious and could take care of myself. Or I had boys around me who wouldn't let anything happen to me at concerts or hiking.
It's not the Pythagorean theorem or a rule book. Or it wasn't in simpler times before dating apps and tic tok.
In Mass this past week I saw two handsome post college age men, alone. No wedding rings because I checked. If I had a daughter who was floundering around with insanity I'd send her to church vs a bar to meet people.
I will leave a letter to my granddaughters to not settle, to not follow the crowd, to remain special and content.

I have a good friend who not only had his soulmate but in his mind was punching so far above his weight he couldn't believe it. Tall decent looking dude.
He had his dream life with her in their mid 20's and were going to start a family. He had 3.5 years with her before cancer got her.

The Paolo, he is not impressed. He is dialing the ICE as we are speaking.

This is true but feminism has pathologized it.
In the past men would hit on single women in public places and presuming they weren't rude the expectation was the girl would give a face saving reason for no "sorry I have a boyfriend" if she wasn't interested
Now though? Approaching women is sexual harassment, whether you do it politely or not...well presuming you are not Tom Brady...

I work remotely and with people from all over the country.
Quick search find a this:
In the United States, approximately 30% of 30-year-olds are married. However, if you expand the scope to look at whether they have ever tied the knot, about 51% to 57% of adults by their early 30s have been married at least once.

They will both be fine. One is still a baby girl, but lovely.
The 5yr old is gorgeous, smart, very funny, ambitious and fearless. I have no worries about her.
Their parents will see that they are fine.

There's plenty of blame to go around on this one.
The (female) cop was unaware of her surroundings. She should have known who was on the other side of that planter.
The civilian was stupid. Never said a word, doesn't cut out diagonally away from the shooter, stays close to the barrier for no apparent reason (he had stood up, he wasn't trying to keep the planter between himself and the shooter).
Except for not being aware, the cop is blameless. I'm in the middle of a firefight and some clown pops up behind me, I'm going to cap his ass, too.

Maybe if fathers protected them, cherished them, taught them they were special beings who have the capacity to bring new life into the world…. If the girls felt loved , not used or gawked at and drooled over. If young women were treated respectfully and told their bodies were meant for greatness, and then protected instead of shamed, well. Things may improve.

Apropos of nothing, It's okay for older guys, though, right? Just an idle question.

Maybe if fathers stopped treating their daughters like they were princess entitled to the very best in life without putting in any effort, things may improve. Vanity is a much bigger problem in young women today than any lack of confidence. They seem to think no matter how fat or obnoxious they are they're entitled to a billionaire with a six-pack.

Apparently TikTok makes money. A good source of Yankee dollars.
