Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | "Rogue" Juror's Family: We're Being Subjected to Constant Harassment and Menace by "Crazy" PeopleBefore that: One of the Lindsay Clancy cultists killed her baby while singing a song from the Wizard of Oz. "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," supposedly. Is this real or just part of her cynical attempt to contrive an insanity plea before becoming a big-time influencer after her acquittal?I would desperately urge RFKJr. to begin a crash review of the SSRIs and hundred other psychoactive drugs that American left-wing women have faked their way into getting prescriptions for. Now, on to the "rogue" juror, which of course means "a black man who did not submit to the bullying of old white liberal Karens." The left realized that smearing a Proud and Strong Black Man was a political loser and gross hypocrisy aside, so now they've gone to an angle they're more comfortable with, smearing him for being a Religious Zealot Weirdo who does not believe in a Woman's Right to Slaughter Her Children. His family says he did not allow his Catholic faith to override his judgment. Well, lefties, if you didn't let this immigrant stay, he wouldn't have hung your jury.
![]() "My family cannot leave the house," the brother said. "They are leaving notes at my mother's house. They won't leave us alone and we don't know anything," he added.RFKJr. please look into SSRIs and the other psycho-making drugs women are doped up to the gills on. A supporter launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the juror on Monday, which brought in nearly $190,000 in a matter of hours.Law-vlogger Nate the Lawyer called GiveSendGo about the account and GiveSendGo told him it was legit, and the money would only be released to the "rogue" juror, not to the supporter who started it. More on the hounding of the slave escaped from the Karen Plantation, I mean, rogue juror: The judge extended the period of secrecy of jurors' personnel information -- but only after the inconvenient black man was doxxed so he could be threatened and harassed into suicide.

Sorry, but it isn't the SSRIs. These women are batshit crazy.
I take an SSRI. Have done for decades. Without it, I am suicidal, for no good reason whatsoever. SSRIs can balance seratonin in the brain, which really does matter to some people. Talk therapy is useless if your brain chemistry is wonky and won't budge. I have no idea what SSRIs do to people with normal levels of seratonin in their brains, but when these women show up at the psych office with batshit all over them, I guess those are the med of choice. That would be a form of malpractice, I suppose. But demonizing a medication that saved my life is not helpful. OTOH, maybe I'm batshit crazy too and I just don't realize it. Never wanted to kill my son, though, or my husband. Just me. Posted by: tcn in AK at September 15, 2026 06:16 PM (Ntshk) 17

BREAKING: Judge extends secrecy of the Lindsay Clancy juror list.
The original impoundment order was set for two weeks. Today, September 14, Judge William Sullivan extended it until further order of the court. The judge cited a "real and present risk" of harm to jurors, intense social-media attention, jurors being identified without permission, and the arrest of an individual accused of secretly recording jurors leaving court. ===== This dullard judge is apparently without shame or integrity.

I have a theory, and it comes from my own experience, but it might shed some light.
When I was young, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, moms stayed home with the kids, but they had other moms to do that in company. The ladies had bridge clubs, they could send kids to another house while they ran errands or got their hair done, they shared coffee and recipes, all that jazz. There was a community beyond the household. Now, not so much. People don't live where their families are, they don't have neighbors with a bunch of kids who swap time for sanity, there is very little support for daily life and the pressure of speaking to only children all day. I think women are somewhat insane, because of the isolation and damned hard work with very little social support. I also think that very few of them grew up in families large enough that they learned to take care of kids, and what was important and what to let go. Some are better prepared than others. Some go nuts. Just my two cents. Posted by: tcn in AK at September 15, 2026 06:24 PM (Ntshk) Posted by: Greetings at September 15, 2026 06:24 PM (23iAw) 50

Posted by: tcn in AK at September 15, 2026 06:16 PM (Ntshk) I have been on an SSRI, and after awhile got homicidal ideation that went away awhile after I stopped. I can deduce two things from that. One, I think I'm just sad because my life is shitty, not depressed by a neurochemical imbalance. (Well, vitamin D helps with the seasonal affective disorder, so there's some chemical wonkiness, but apparently not enough for an SSRI to be appropriate.) And two, it isn't as harmless as doctors think, and they should really do studies on how to tell the specific subgroup that will be helped (like you) from those that will react badly (like me).

Just my two cents. Posted by: tcn in AK at September 15, 2026 06:24 PM (Ntshk) Seems like its the reverse - moms used to get away from the cliques and peer group pressure with the kids and husband. Now they get it 24-7 with apps. Because the ones that don't have kids seem nuttier than the moms. I agree that the separation for moms is worse than before, as there would be other moms and aunts and grandparents to ask or vent to or get help, now its drugs from doctors. I think the very first target, even before men of Feminism was to separate young women from the family support and the older cadre of women who could offer advice.

I think the SS ad is weird and trying-too-hard and doesn't appeal to me at all. But it's not aimed at me.
It's aimed (unlawfully) at underage or barely-legal sports betting. That's 90% male. So of course you put a literally naked girl in the ad. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 15, 2026 04:53 PM (iFTx/) 20

>>I have my own mild objections to the ad campaign.
concur and concur. Recently there is a lot of nostalgia represented in films of olden times, like the 70s or earlier (some posted by Ace.) Before the war, you notice most men wore suits and a hat. It was like a public uniform that civilized people wore whether they were working, or just strolling. I miss that. I miss the formality of public life. I think that includes women not showing their tits everytime someone drops a few dollars at their feet. It also includes not cursing every other word, trying to spell the whole word in texts, etc. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 15, 2026 04:53 PM (Y9s2Z) 22
There's also cynicism in these recent Sweeny ads. It's a cold mechanical arrangement of ragebait click farming that feels devoid of any real sexiness. The "Jeans/genes" ads were HOT. This is not.

This is just typical marketing strategy and yet somehow, women are far more outraged by Sweeney than Lindsay Clancy. Make that make sense.
I can. Although it's not an original thought; I believe one of the Horde made the same point. "Women" hate Sweeney because, as Ace points out, they're either not attractive to men, see men only as sperm-donating wallets or prefer the company of their trendy, bitchy gay bois. The appeal of a Sweeney infuriates them because they not only hate her, they also know that they, too, could look like Sweeney if they put the effort into it. But that would mean surrendering to the patriarchy. Clancy? Her supporters either have had abortions, cheer on abortion at any time or hate that the children they've borne ruined their bodies. They also subscribe to the pernicious 'goddess' worship which elevates some mythical 'earth power' to them. A Clancy killing her children must be innocent, because then it is absolution for the children they themselves have killed or despise.

I'm loving this. Because these twits are too stupid to understand that this didn't have anything to do with women's sports.
But for those that opened their mouths about SS not being an athlete, OWN GOAL time again. What is it with AWFL's and emotions? Sydney Sweeney is a trained mixed martial artist with a background in grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and kickboxing. She began training at age 12, practiced rigorously for five to six years, and competed in tournaments during her teens. Key details of her martial arts journey include: Competition Success: At age 18, she competed in a grappling tournament against male opponents in a higher weight class and won first place. Training Background: She trained two to three times per week, often as the only female in her dojo, and studied under trainers who also worked with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. Current Status: While her acting contracts often restrict her from sparring or competing due to injury risks, she continues to practice MMA and boxing in her spare time to maintain fitness and prepare for roles, such as her upcoming portrayal of boxer Christy Martin.

She's 29. She doesn't have a problem with everyone seeing her flesh and she's going to make everything she can off that while she can. I wish that the world wasn't what it is, but it is, and in a world where girls eagerly await their 18th birthday so they can post a video of them sucking cock on OF, this is pretty tame.

I'm just against legal gambling in all its forms. It should be driven underground again by shaming and prosecution. Like addictive drugs, it is a social ill in itself; making it legal just makes society complicit in its harms, without even removing the criminal element as promised. If anything, normalizing gambling gets even more money sloshing around for the crooks' cheating schemes to latch onto.
It isn't the worst thing out there, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can condemn all the forms of degeneracy tearing at civilization's roots at once. Posted by: SciVo at September 15, 2026 05:15 PM (ke3zm) 120

I have my own mild objections to the ad campaign. First of all, I'll admit what these nasty scolds won't and say that part of my objection is due to simple prudery and a preference for modesty
--- As one of the foremost critics of pornography in the Horde, I agree with you. The question is how to get to a more modest society? I think the first step is the re-establishment of feminine beauty, at which point we can restore its mystique and traditional morality. This is not unusual in history, where we veer from high-neck collars to bodacious cleavage. It goes back and forth. But we've never before seen such a total war on beauty and elevation of disgusting depravity, so before we can even think about the pendulum swinging freely again, we have to crush the freaks and weirdos, driving them before us and listening to the lamentations of the Karens.

But of course they aren't thinking this through clearly -- to make their point (that S.S. is "sexualizing the female body) they shpuld have chesne the sexiest fame in the commercial.

sure, but these women athletes are complaining that she's somehow "setting back women's sports" or unfairly getting attention about women's sports and the are ignored. one woman on Twixxer was showing off all the awards she won in her athletics.

So the SI Swimsuit editions (until recently, of course) were just fine
---- No. They were never fine. Long before they started putting obese cows on billboards for Victoria's Secret advertisements, decades even, they were bitching about "conventional standards of beauty". Their argument was (naturally) there are no objective standards of beauty. What males consider to be beautiful attributes in the female form are a social construct. So a fat hog (to put it charitably) is just as "beautiful" as fashion model. Now I get it, physical appearance, those types of attributes are not doled out equally any more than mathematical ability or musical ability or athletic ability or....

Recently there is a lot of nostalgia represented in films of olden times, like the 70s or earlier (some posted by Ace.) Before the war, you notice most men wore suits and a hat. It was like a public uniform that civilized people wore whether they were working, or just strolling.
I miss that. I miss the formality of public life. I think that includes women not showing their tits everytime someone drops a few dollars at their feet. It also includes not cursing every other word, trying to spell the whole word in texts, etc. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 15, 2026 04:53 PM (Y9s2Z) anemoia: Nostalgic longing for a time or place you have never personally experienced.

Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 15, 2026 05:47 PM (X64kw) I remember suit-and-tie for the office, but no hats, and (like Mr. Rogers) they changed as soon as they could. I even remember the 80s, and I still have anemoia for a world of men in suits and women in dresses, both with smart hats, just to go out. Apparently, even in the 50s, teens were already wearing jeans and t-shirts instead, and I guess it mostly held steady there for a long time. I think I may be reacting to the new low of seeing people at the store wearing pajama pants with crocs. It makes me want to dress up like I never saw people do IRL.

Key details of her martial arts journey include:
Competition Success: At age 18, she competed in a grappling tournament against male opponents in a higher weight class and won first place. Training Background: She trained two to three times per week, often as the only female in her dojo, and studied under trainers who also worked with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. Current Status: While her acting contracts often restrict her from sparring or competing due to injury risks, she continues to practice MMA and boxing in her spare time to maintain fitness and prepare for roles, such as her upcoming portrayal of boxer Christy Martin. Posted by: rickb223 at September 15, 2026 05:03 PM (Fzhd7) I had no idea she had this kind of athletic background. Actually makes her more attractive to me.

Posted by: Nelly at September 15, 2026 06:19 PM (6+ehB) Comer to DHS: Release the Evidence of Ilhan Omar's Immigration Fraud So That We Can Decide Whether to Expel Her from CongressBut I don't think it will happen, not yet anyway.The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation. "I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public," Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "The evidence that I've seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this. "Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that." Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., "married her brother" as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an "ongoing" investigation. "We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States," Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar's ex-husband lives in London. Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there's no expiration for that. The investigation may turn up "illegal activity," which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it's not politically motivated.I don't think DHS will comply until it has made a decision itself whether to denaturalize her or not. I think that's usually their rule, that they will not release information while an investigation is active. You'd have to subpoena them and get a judge to agree that Congress's need for information outweighs the Executive's need for confidentiality during investigations.

A congresswoman doesn't just pass off the accumulation of $30 Million in less than a year to accounting errors.

"Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress?"
Congress used to vote on whether to admit an individual who won his election in the first place. It wouldn't be a question whether she should "remain" in office. In a sane world, she would have never been allowed there in the first place. The press would have shined a 500,000 watt spotlight on her past, and if she managed to squeek through the election, Congress would have put the kibosh on this shit.

About immigration costs and purpose, about the goals of islam, about mental illness and sexuality and degeneracy, covid, vaccines, .... The powers that be are starting to understand that unless gov. regulates A.I. heavily, it will start adding 2+2 and telling people "4", and they can't have that. It would collapse the world.

@bennyjohnson BOMBSHELL: Is Illhan Omar an American Citizen? Minnesota Investigative Journalist Reveals Evidence That Ilhan Omar May Have Lied To Obtain U.S. Citizenship This just blew my mind...Illhan Omar has always claimed she came to America as a 'child' and was naturalized as a minor at 17 -- but new documents show she may have been 18. That is really important because as an adult Illhan would have to apply for citizenship herself and not be waved in as a minor dependent of her war criminal father. Liz Collin of Alpha News has evidence that Illhan Omar changed her birth year to not have to apply for citizenship legally. If Illhan Omar lied about her birth year she is here illegally and her citizenship is fraudulent. "Omar has repeatedly claimed that she became a citizen at the age of 17. But based on public records, Omar was actually 18 in the year 2000, when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship." "Just two days later, her congressional staff contacted the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, this is back in 2019, to change the Congresswoman's date of birth from October 4th, 1981 to October 4th, 1982."

After a while I got it to admit that AFD is standard leftwing party outside of immigration and that their immigration stance would be considered normal for any other Euro left party 10-20 years ago. But no...that doesn't stop it from telling anyone else that asks that AFD is far right Posted by: 18-1 at September 15, 2026 04:06 PM (sKqQm) 81

One example of this: Is AFD a far right party? After a while I got it to admit that AFD is standard leftwing party outside of immigration and that their immigration stance would be considered normal for any other Euro left party 10-20 years ago. But no...that doesn't stop it from telling anyone else that asks that AFD is far right

I think the biggest problem with Omar is that it's hard to decide what illegality to look at first. You don't just shut down a botique winery out of the blue after it goes from a value of under $50k to worth "milions" in less than a year if it is legit. A congresswoman doesn't just pass off the accumulation of $30 Million in less than a year to accounting errors. Sure, the immigration issue if the current focus, but there's likely wire fraud, false filings, grand larceny, federal fraud, and all kinds of other felonies hanging out there.

Posted by: Daniel Ream at September 15, 2026 06:26 PM (LgYtf) Gavin Newsom Lies to Placate the Black Vote, Claiming He Won't Run if Kamala Harris DoesWell, Kamala Harris is running at the moment. I can't say she'll stay in all the way but as of now, she's running. Gavin Newsom is also running. So he's lying. I see a lot of non-stunned faces in the comments.California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris enters the race. Newsom made the comment during a fly-fishing outing in Montana with CNN's Jake Tapper, as part of an ongoing series that was announced on Monday in which the anchor joins politicians in their favorite places to discuss their careers. Tapper pressed Newsom on the crowded Democrat field, noting he was not even the only potential candidate from California before naming Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Harris. "I don't know if she runs, but we'll see," Newsom said. When Tapper noted Harris had "called around," the governor added, "But I wouldn't run if she ran." Tapper asked him to confirm the line. "Of course not. Why would I? I wouldn't do that to her," Newsom said. "I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that?" Newsom argued a primary between the two Californians would only benefit the rest of the field, describing the scenario as "mutually assured destruction." "Electorally, it's a gift from God for everybody else," he said. "It services no greater good."Kamala Harris has the biggest share of the black vote in polls, ranging between 34% and 49%. Newsom has only 14%. He has another problem: Black Democrats are serious about DEI, by which I mean, they demand that jobs go to them, and that includes nominee slots. James Clyburn infamously insisted that Biden choose a black female for Vice President. He did. Black Democrats insisted Biden appoint a black female non-biologist to the Supreme Court. He did. And we're seeing black Democrats in Texas reject the gay white kid James Talarico for "stealing" the nomination that belongs (due to DEI assumptions) Jasmine Ratchet. Gavin Newsom can't win a majority of the black vote against the DEI-privileged candidate Kamala Harris. He doesn't need to. But, if he defeats Kamala Harris, to whom the 2028 nomination "belongs" to by DEI illogic, he will have to bring bitter DEI-zealot black Democrats on board for the general. So he's making this empty promise now that he will step aside and give Kamala Harris the nomination that "belongs" to her if she wants it. But what will he do when she runs? That is a problem, I'm sure he's thinking, for Future Gavin Newsom, which Future Gavin Newsom will just have to deal with when it comes up. For now, he's letting black Democrats know he will not "steal" a nomination from the Stronk Empowered Black (and Indian) Woman it "belongs" too. So if she decides not to run because she finally gets a DUI arrest, he's positioned himself right for James Clyburn. Note that Jake Tapper is now deliberately "humanizing" inhuman Democrat politicians by interviewing them in contrived campaign-commercial scenarios. I'm including a very smart rebuttal to my point:

Gavin Newsom Lies to Placate the Black Vote, Claiming He Won't Run if Kamala Harris Does

How exactly to put this.... "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!" There...that should do it.
The Left no longer votes for a candidate. They vote against the other candidate. This, also, occurs in Democrat primaries (which I might add are concluded before the first primary vote is cast). Someone is chosen, and then the powers that be apply the choice. This includes bribing close challengers out of the race, denigrating those primary candidates that don't pull the line 100%, shutting down campaign donations and funds, circumventing PACS with actual threats, and... ...stuffing ballot boxes on a state by state basis, and rigging states that use a caucus process.

Haven't read the comments yet, but I just saw an Instagram ad (or a snippet of an interview) with Newsom and Jake Tapper fishing. It had the absolute worst dialog in the history of fake interviews, but really it's just a campaign ad. Maybe it was AI.

But sure, those same donors will give buckets of money to another Kamala campaign.
Ex-Dem insider exposes what Harris told top donors days before Biden dropped out: ‘All charade’ A former DNC fundraiser who later left the party after likening it to a cult has claimed Harris was gearing up to poach Biden’s donors days before he abandoned his re-election bid – despite proclaiming she was supporting him and could still win. “She would host calls with donors and pretend to support Biden ” Lindy Li, who previously branded Harris’ failed presidential bid a $1 billion disaster, told Fox News Digital. But Harris’ charm offensive was part of a broader tactic should an opportunity arise to replace Biden in the race... But some donors were unconvinced by the narrative Harris was trying to peddle, according to Li, who branded the veep’s approach “insulting.” “And the immediate reaction is what an effing waste of time. What a charade, how fake. Like these are like the wealthiest people in the country saying that. They were very aware they were being lied to, that Biden was clearly not okay https://tinyurl.com/5xprmmtj Posted by: Archimedes at September 15, 2026 02:51 PM (Riz8t) 107

As a guy who is suspicious of everything, and who thinks everything is an op (and who is usually right about that), I suspect there's some long game being played in private.
Tapper never would have asked the question about Newscum running against Kneepad Semen Queen unless Newscum wanted it asked. Unless Newscum has reason to believe that Semen Queen isn't running, why would he set up a response to a question that will ultimately be a lie? I get it that Newscum wants to try to appeal to black voters by being gracious to their favored candidate. So why say something like this that will soon be exposed as a lie? Or unless Newscum is secretly not planning on running himself? I think both of these are highly unlikely. I think they are both running, at least for the time being, because there's no downside and all upside. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 15, 2026 02:53 PM (iFTx/) 118

And 110% of the previously mentioned combined vote. She'll lose legal hispanics and white men by about 2-1. Exactly how many of them and us do you think there are here ?

I get it that Newscum wants to try to appeal to black voters by being gracious to their favored candidate. So why say something like this that will soon be exposed as a lie?
Or unless Newscum is secretly not planning on running himself? I think both of these are highly unlikely. I think they are both running, at least for the time being, because there's no downside and all upside. I think he figures if she DOES run, she'll get the nom, so he needs to maintain viability for another election cycle. I think he's wrong, I think she won't run, and this is just a cost-free concession to what he thinks will not happen. If she does run, she'll auger in almost immediately, as she's done in the past, especially when the donor class says "get bent". Then he can step in, and he isn't the presumptuous honkey that took her down. Posted by: Archimedes at September 15, 2026 03:00 PM (Riz8t) 158
In important news (baseball):
Had a fall baseball practice for catchers and pitchers. My oldest catches and after catching for some of the pitchers, they gave the catchers an opportunity to show their best pop times (time from the catcher's glove to the glove of the baseman covering second base). MLB average pop times are 1.6-2.5 seconds. My oldest smoked the competition with 2.15 seconds. Next closest was 2.25 seconds. The third guy got 2.35 seconds. I might mention that the slowest was a senior, varsity catcher. My oldest is a freshman. He's worked very hard at it, and it was a nice triumph for him and opportunity to show the coach and players there what kind of stuff he had.

They'll laugh at her like we do. That she's a known idiot and drunk is in there too. I guess unseen decision-makers will be the real leadership, like with Biden.

It's pretty easy to discern what the Democrats have to do, considering what they have done.
Nobody wants to vote for a hectoring whack job cat lady. "Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask?". So they have to manufacture the support. That's where the media comes in. Same with homosexuals, like Buttgige. Electoral poison, they have to try and manufacture electoral support that isn't there. Even AlGore had to get a little media massage with the help of Rolling Stone. They chased off a significant chunk of the male vote regardless of ethnicity, the genuine rank and file working class, business owners, etc., and are frightening wide swathes of the country, jews, women and horses. The remainder seems to be a shrinking pool of ... whatever ... and are fucking nuts, and it's increasingly evident that electoral fraud constitutes much, if not most of their popularity. Just as I have suspected for decades now. Posted by: Common Tater at September 15, 2026 03:02 PM (ugvYV) 172

I'm still convinced the candidate won't be a radical (or retard such as Harris or Newsom). The ability to cheat (even with the most recent SCOTUS decision) has be tempered somewhat. As a result the Democrats require someone who is comparable to the likely Republican candidates. They, desparately, need someone who gives the perception of moderation, but is controlable and, more importantly, only gives the perception...not the goods.
They could care less about the black vote. They can make that up in the ballot stuffing. What they need is the INDEPENDENT vote. And, they don't get that with Harris or Newsom. They are both damaged goods. Look for Andy Beshear to start emerging. He's already established his own PAC. He just wrote off over $250 Million in medical costs to 130,000 Kentucky residents. He's lining himself up. He chairs the Dem Governor's Association (which means he controls some of the purse strings).

I'm extremely skeptical that a woman of color can win the presidency, given what we saw in 2016 and 2024. There are too many bigots. I think Pete has the same issue. Harris and Buttigieg are both eminently qualified and I would trust either to do an amazing job, but I don't think I'm the median voter.
It has nothing to do with the median voter and everything to do with the median electoral vote. Because of the EC there is no use for candidates and parties to focus on the median American or most of America. The median voter lives in NH or MN. The median electoral vote is in PA or WI. In America people don't matter but empty land does. I think someone like Michelle Obama or Oprah could easily win the presidency if they wanted to. I don’t think Kamala Harris can. That has nothing to do with her being a woman of color and everything to do with being a mediocre candidate with fatal flaws. I’m hoping the nominee is someone out of left field we don’t even know the name of yet, like Obama. Newsom probably also shouldn’t run.

He took his Senate win, where he was already getting attention, and turned it into a presidential run immediately. The comparison to Obama means that we already know of the person, that they're already developing a national profile, and that he can get a key voting bloc behind him instantly.

This is intolerable.The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration's emergency bid to enforce new U.S. Postal Service (USPS) restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, leaving a lower court's nationwide block in place. In a brief order, the court said the government was "unlikely to succeed on the merits" for purposes of obtaining emergency relief and had not shown that the legal and practical considerations warranted a stay. The rules would require federal ballot mail to be sent in envelopes bearing an election-mail logo, capable of being scanned by high-speed equipment and carrying a barcode unique to each voter. State and local election officials would also be required to submit envelope designs to the Postal Service for review and upload basic voter information to an online USPS portal. Under the USPS rule, mailings that failed to comply would not be accepted and would instead be returned to election officials to correct and resubmit. A federal judge previously blocked the USPS from implementing the rules, including the online portal that could be used to track millions of mail ballots. Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed with the Supreme Court's decision but indicated the USPS may ultimately have the authority to impose the requirements.See, we delayed and delayed until we could claim that implementing the order would come too late and cause "chaos" so we win, you lose.

I just like to point out that the real target for all of these changes is 2028.
2028 is the important election. He who wins 2028 controls the 2030 census. If Vance controls the 2030 census, he can ensure that the count is done right and shift the House 20-30 seats to the right by simply counting things right instead of estimating and modeling like the last census did.

I think the final USPS rule that was promulgated in August was too aggressive in what it required to have much of a chance to be upheld. I think this rule is playing for 2028 with the much bigger prize of the Presidency.
The final rules require: 1. Federal ballot mail be sent in envelopes with three special features: an election-mail logo, the ability to be scanned using high-speed processing equipment, and a specialized barcode unique to each voter. 2. States must design envelopes that adhere to these requirements and submit the designs to the Postal Service for review. 3. States must upload basic information about the voter to a Postal Service portal. IIRC, only 12 states of the 50 said they could comply with this in time for November. There are certainly more than 12 red states. So even some red states didn't think it could be done. This is a play for 2028. If it was truly for 2026, Trump would have announced these final rules much earlier than last month. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 15, 2026 01:37 PM (iFTx/) 57

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Tuesday launched an effort to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing the Pentagon’s military actions against Iran. Massie, a frequent critic of President Trump, accused Hegseth of launching an illegal war that was not approved by Congress. He introduced articles of impeachment on the House floor against Hegseth for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at September 15, 2026 01:36 PM (Cqx++) ======= 2001 AUMF against terrorism and War Powers Act, bitch.

So, something went to the high court and that court decided that it didn't matter what the Constitution says or how you interpret it because you can't get it done in time.
Well, I insist that a whole and hearty F*CK YOU is in order here because THAT is not your f*cking job. You apply the requested federal rule against the Constitution and see if it's legal for them to do it or not. NOT if they can 'get it done on time.' FFS....... This is why we can't have nice things. This is no different than turncoat traitor John Roberts saying "we can't rule in favor because it might cause riots." F*ck off.......

Actually, kind of a surprise coming from Kavanaugh, in that his "textualism" does not go to the Constitution, but actually goes to legislation-enabling texts. That he admitted that the USPS actually has the authority to make its rule.....well, it's weird that Kavanaugh penned such a contrary note.

==== Complacency is human nature. The out of power party voters are more motivated to turn out, than the complacent winners. Repeats are hard, Threepeats are even harder. Posted by: Shucks whatever shall be done at September 15, 2026 01:54 PM (jvkDG) ====== Which is why Trump is fighting so hard. He's trying to reverse the trend. Will it be enough? Will USAID's defunding have an effect? Will the Civil Rights Division of DOJ watching elections have an effect? Their efforts to clean up voter rolls? There's a lot flying around, and their impacts are unclear, at best. I'm cautiously optimistic, but it's hard to just dismiss historical trends out of hand.

Deep blue districts will end up accounting for most of the change because they're the most motivated to vote. Deep red districts will hardly budge at all and may even stay exactly the same. Swing districts may move a few points, but definitely not evenly at 7. That pattern could get worse with the increasing division between how red states and blue states are running their elections. A million more votes in Los Angeles will definitely win the city's districts...which were already D. But nothing for FL in that.

I'm not going to condemn Trump for 'not doing enough,' when he's done more than any president, maybe ever, to reign in the obscenity that is the federal government.
- It's not really a condemnation of Trump to say that he hasn't done enough. Our system isn't designed to allow the President, by himself, to "do enough." The complaint is about recognizing the magnitude of the problem, and if condemnation is due anywhere, to the congress which has been useless and the courts which are clearly committed to the destruction of the country.

There may be "left" and "right" in the world of regular people, although the terms don't mean what they used to, but in the world of power types there's just "insiders" and everybody else. And Number One is always yourself. The exceeding few that don't operate completely like mafioso are the ones we think of as legends. Sadly those are the only ones who actually operate for the public good and as representatives of their voters which is supposed to be the baseline. Usually the best you can do is to vote for the ones that see their best interests in doing what their supporters want them to do. But never think they won't sell out their supporters on a dime if their potential personal benefits are big enough to them.

OT:
I love the fact that there seems to be an API for everything. While cleaning up I came across a big old box of cassette tapes, probably a couple of hundred. I was thinking I should catalog them but doing so would probably take a couple of weeks of manual entry. So I was like, there's got to be an API out there with a barcode database for music cassettes and sure enough there is. Built a python script in about an hour, tested it by manually entering in a couple, it worked flawlessly, dug out a barcode scanner from my, I'm probably going to need this in the future box. And voila, it works. The API in question is Discogs API. Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 15, 2026 02:29 PM (XV/Pl) 268

If I were a 5-D chess playing Democrat, I’d allow voter id to be implemented. Because mail voter fraud is where the real action is. Along with voter harvesting.
If Dems allow voter id they could claim with a straight face we are for election integrity, we even supported Republicans in their efforts to implement voter id. Look how bipartisan and shit we are. And they’re still complaining about it because the American people have voted against them in a fair election. Normies would probably buy that argument.

Alex's drumming is clearly out of synch. For one of the biggest bands at the time? Crap. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 15, 2026 02:30 PM (iFTx/) 272

If I were a 5-D chess playing Democrat, I’d allow voter id to be implemented. Because mail voter fraud is where the real action is. Along with voter harvesting.
If Dems allow voter id they could claim with a straight face we are for election integrity, we even supported Republicans in their efforts to implement voter id. Look how bipartisan and shit we are. And they’re still complaining about it because the American people have voted against them in a fair election. === I think it is fair to conclude that they feel like they need every cheat modality available to them in order to maintain control. And the Trump events just makes them even more insecure. Posted by: Shucks whatever shall be done at September 15, 2026 02:32 PM (jvkDG) 281

He introduced articles of impeachment on the House floor against Hegseth for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at September 15, 2026 01:36 PM (Cqx++) Hey, Massie....STFD and STFU.

Sorry to post late. (Needed to be out of the house.)
There's a Whistleblower complaint which can be seen through Senator Blumenthal's website, www.blumenthal.senate.gov. (You know I'm an idiot with addresses, and I know blowing the margins is a huge no-no. Fingers crossed, below is the designation of the document: 2026-08-31_final_letter-disclosure >From the U.S. Senate, Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, to David Steiner Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer United States Postal Service It begins, "My office is in receipt of an alarming whistleblower disclosure (the “Disclosure” Posted by: L - No nic... at September 15, 2026 05:16 PM (NFX2v) 302
Continued -
Of course, there's much more to the complaint. Reading all suggested. As further background, Tech Town reported, 9/1/26, the following: 'USPS Mail Ballot Portal’s Zero-Tolerance Scan Rule Ignores Its Own Inspector General’s Error Data" Federal whistleblower warns batch-wide ballot rejections are mathematically predictable before November The disclosure, prepared by Whistleblower Aid attorneys on behalf of an anonymous federal official with direct knowledge of the portal's development, was transmitted to Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) on Monday, August 31, and released publicly Tuesday morning. Blumenthal, who received the disclosure in his role as Ranking Member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, forwarded it to USPS Postmaster General David Steiner and demanded answers by September 4. The disclosure was reported simultaneously by NOTUS on the morning of its release. Hopefully, the above info. fills some gaps as to how & why. You/we knew they would be prepared to stop anything that took control of ballots from the hands of the Democrats and their operatives.

Chicks vs. old biddies: there is a swanky part of town where the wealthy widows live in big old mansions. The locals call it Biddie Hill. My wife’s aunt objected to this when I mentioned it to her until I pointed out the plaque out front of one of these castles where, engraved in stone, it announced “Biddie Hill”. Wife’s aunt dropped the subject.

The Intercept (no relation): Iran War Has the U.S. Military on the Brink of a “Breakdown” As the U.S. military faces relentless attacks on its bases, the Iran conflict is “ultimately unsustainable,” one U.S. official told The Intercept.
At the very least it will either humble the US or force people to face up to the hard truth that Republicans are the reason for America's decline and fading power. Putting Incompetent hypocrites and lying charlatans in power always ends in pain. The US military is looking surprisingly like Russia's. Our strength lies in our allies, and thanks to Trump, they've not just turned us down, they're turning away from and moving on from us. the loss of US influence in the region and the withdrawal of US forces is probably the best possible outcome for them. The destruction of oil infrastructure is also the best possibility for a green transition. Trump really is the anti imperialist president lmao, sucks for the US tho Largest military budget in the world, ran out of munitions against Iran in six months. That doesn't add up. Maybe it's time we demand the Pentagon pass that audit they've failed for eight straight years?

Regarding Bo French:
1) A lot of Indians in TX are hard left. Like, you have no idea. They're upper castes who despise others and believe they should rule everyone by birthright. Much of the sweep around the Houston area that wiped out Republicans was because of Indians 2) No one is defending the Indians. Because the more people are around them, the more they see the stink of their caste system, and how they view you as a lesser. And the GOPe--as usual--severely underestimates how much the base is coming to hate the arrogant Brahmans. 3) Bo French will do more to end illegal immigration--especially H1B abuse--in TX than Abbott. Because, he will be 1 of 3 votes on the Railroad Commission to approve all oil and gas permits. He won't say it, but everyone knows it--permits will be denied to those who don't play ball and start getting rid of H1B and illegal hires. Which explains why all the GOPe are making fools of themselves trying to condemn him. You know, the same people who never apologized for saying Trump should drop out of the race because he said "pussy."

Posted by: Archimedes at September 15, 2026 12:31 PM (Riz8t) ===== Views which lead to Cost per Mille which is an average bid rate advertisers pay. Creators get Revenue per Mille which is roughly half of the CPM (I think it's normally 55%). CPM gets calculated on a variety of factors including geography of the viewer, age of the viewer, and how many ads they see (so long videos with mid-roll ads pay a lot more than short videos with only starting and ending ads).

But, for now, it's Ten Seconds to Hell, a Robert Aldrich film, the only one he made for Hammer, and is fairly far outside Hammer's normal wheelhouse. I don't think Hammer's management was involved until post-production (it was filmed in Germany).

"We ran out of munitions."
*US bombs a shit ton of targets along Iran's coast for 10 straight days.* "See? We have no munitions!" Posted by: TheJamesMadison I think the issue is we've used a significant percentage of some of our high precision munitions, which take time to manufacture (and lots of rare earth material only currently available through China). As we don't typically go through them at a super fast rate, we don't have a bunch of industrial infrastructure ready to immediately ramp up production. Ukraine, as I understand, didn't get a lot of our most high-tech weaponry, and instead heavily depleted some of our more convential ammunition stockpiles (artillery shells especially). Same general trend, though, regarding limited manufacturing ability to replenish on short timelines. If we went to total war (say, China), we could ramp production capabilities similar to WW2, although probably not quite as quickly due to the more advanced technology involved.

So what would the IQ of an AI agent be? Let's say as a thought experiment - it was 3 times as smart as average.
300IQ. That's a really high IQ. Probably higher than anyone currently living. Maybe higher than Isaac Newton. So if that is widely available to everyone in the world via the internet. What would that look like? Would everyone in the world be 300 IQ? No. They would be the same stupid, immoral dipshits, with access to an amoral 300 IQ. So, what could possibly go wrong? Don't get me wrong, I think the invention of the gun was marginally for the best. It made strength available to the weak. But it also made it available to dipshits. So on the whole it is going to have both good effects and bad effects. The good effects will probably be pretty good, and the bad effects will probably be pretty bad.

It's stupid. Half of the missiles that Iran has fired since the MOU was scrapped have just exploded in the air unassisted because Iran is using what scraps of supplies they can find after 80%+ of their supplies were blowed up real good. There was some headline about this grand new tech Iran was using on missiles. A camera that allows it to redirect. The tech is 50 years old.

Sure you can regulate it, or keep it out of the hands of your population, but the bad guys will get it. The good guys obey the law. I don't think it something that can be stopped, or something that can be controlled. Its not like the "bomb" where you can control fissionable material exports etc. If its accessible over the internet or widely developed - some asshole or group of assholes is going to get ahold of it and use it to figure out how to make a "bomb" or do "bioweapons" research or some shit like that. Its inevitable. It seems like the methodology of developing AI is widely disseminated - not secret like fission was - and so its going world wide eventually. Genie is out of the bottle.

Funny thing about the AI panic is that the vast majority of limitations on industry over the last 40 years have come through regulation.
But Trump's admin is the most deregulatory administration in American history, far outpacing even his first administration.

FedGov said "not so fast" we paid for it, so go find a pile of sand and pound it. This op they're trying to run is so transparent. I think it's about earnings and long term viability in a market that's saturated with their shit. Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 15, 2026 01:25 PM (2Cry5) 298

Either/Or, I am agnostic on this subject. Notice that PDiddy was essential to the industry, and like a good little operative, when he did things that could no longer be ignored by the law he got the minimal convictions possible and the deep state prosecutors made sure that was the only things that got discussed.

> it's becoming pretty obvious that while they're crowing about AI being super powerful it's actually starting to degrade.
I don't know about that. I have to use Claude extensively on my current project. I've been using AI more and more in my core responsibilities over the last couple of years. For programming, Claude is astounding. You can spin up multiple threads all tasked with the same project and have them competing against each other, checking each other's work, and taking the best results from each and incorporating them into the final result. It's like a whole team of high level programmers collaborating in real time and putting out very high quality work in an hour that would take the programmers a couple of days. My only complaint is the code and comments are often more verbose than I'd like, and no matter how many times I direct it to be more succinct, it isn't. But that's it. The quality is very good.

Yes! We should have Heathkit home nuclear power generating plants. Hobbyists could save a little money by building it yourself.
Then-chairman of the AEC, Lewis Strauss (pronounced "straws") was the guy in the 1950s who predicted nuclear power in the USA would be "too cheap to meter" by the way. I remember my dad repeating that line sarcastically when the subject came up. Carter, that fucking clown from Georgia and the usual suspects pretty much destroyed the nuclear power industry, among a great many other things.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at September 15, 2026 01:37 PM (Jc9BQ) The Morning Rant![]() Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is now pushing Republicans to pass the bill's main mandates via the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass sweeping fiscal policy without input from the minority due to its sidelining of the Senate filibuster. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, is tasked with overseeing how that part of the bill gets done. "I'd rather pass the SAVE America Act. But recognizing that the Senate might not be able to get that done with the 60-vote threshold, let's leverage the parliamentary procedure, bring that threshold down to 50, and get some really commonsense reforms done," Steil told Fox News Digital in an interview. "I've been having great conversations with my colleagues in the administration as well as the Senate."Thune and the other corporatist whores are the problem, and they are embedded into the Republican Party far too deeply for them to be sidelined by a procedural play. That they are rejecting a bill that has the support of the vast majority of Americans is shocking in and of itself, but the fact that they are unrepentant makes it worse. They are pissing on us and gleefully telling us that it is raining! What can be done about this? Obviously Thune and anyone who supports him must go. At the very least, he must be challenged for Majority Leader. Senator Rick Scott has already announced that he has not committed to voting for Thune again, so there are cracks in the collegiality of the Senate. And that's a good start, but an aggressive campaign against Thune is overdue. Perhaps President Trump should announce that if Thune doesn't support voting security that he will actively campaign against him in 2028. Marginalize him, mock him, ridicule him for subverting the will of the American people...but do not allow the status quo to continue. This is too important to be held up by a corporate hack in a nice suit, and that's all Thune is! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Meanwhile Wisconsin and NYC are making squeals about will they survive if Trump cuts off the welfare to illegals.
So let me get this straight - We need illegals to work cheap - We need them on welfare to shore up local economies - We need them to pay into SSI and Medicare That's 3 lies. All contradictory as they don't work, they destroy local economies through crime and dependency, and they will become wards (as will their relatives brought in) So who benefits?

"the anti-Trump, pro-business faction within the Republican party" unfortunately isn't the only problem (and of course we're leaving aside the insane destructive Dems entirely).
The day the "big beautiful bill" was passed, at a rally in Iowa, Trump alluded to hospitality and agriculture needing help or protection, when discussing illegal migration. Pretty much silence from the crowd, who might have been as stunned as they were dismayed. If the father of actual renewed immigration enforcement is a Chamber of Commerce squish on an enormous part of the problem ..... well. HR9535 last I saw had over 50 co-sponsors, almost all GOP. "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act". Which contains amnesty and (fairly brazen) wage suppression measures. Key point here is that even today, in 2026, the incumbent GOP feels comfortable pushing amnesty. Of course Johnson would never bring this to a vote - the fear would kick in there. But still. One election away from a return to the catastrophe of 2021-2024. Posted by: rhomboid at September 15, 2026 11:22 AM (U/Byj) 50

Georgia is ground zero. The Toilet Flush Heard 'Round The World and all that. Kemp and Raffensperger were in on it.
Posted by: Ian S. ====== To understand Georgia, remember that Kemp was SoS before becoming governor and won against Stacey Abrams in 2018 in a close race. Stacey was distributing gift cards to buy votes and the urban cheat machines in Savannah, Columbus, and Fulton were in full swing. After Kemp won, there was a lawsuit by Abrams over the election, Kemp ordered the election server data wiped and the first thing he did as governor was to sign a massive wopping big deal with Dominion to provide new machines to settle the lawsuit started by Abrams. These were used in 2020. Ratshitburger got elected first to a State House seat in N. Fulton and was openly soliciting Chinese money and votes up there. He went from there to barely winning the SoS office. He won reelection in the primary by using Dem votes in 2022 to offset a strong primary challenge. Georgia has a long history of voter fraud and even open auctioning of vote buyers at the county seat in some places. Also see Turning Point by Jimmay Carter regarding his being cheated.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) = Election cheating is primarily a Democrat phenomenon and urban. In the distant past, both the GOP and the Democrats rivaled each other prior to about 1900 or so on both rural and urban cheating. As the US became more urban, the cheating declined after progressive movements of voter registration, literacy tests, cumulative poll taxes, the secret ballot, and other provisions including virtual disenfranchisement of most of the Southern population. We had a period of GOP dominance that ended with the Great Depression, then Democrat dominance until the 90's.

The governor’s race is between a Republican billionaire who bought his nomination and the Democrat mayor of Atlanta who bought her office through machine politics.

Are you implying there's no solution?...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) ======== Unpleasant ones. Like Heinlein's in Starship Troopers. Both officeholders and voters were required to have served (including non military like science, etc. as conscripts) before being able to hold office and to be voters. Founders used property as a proxy. Basically every unlimited franchise government tries to end up voting themselves the treasury and politicians get voted in on gimmedats and grab a big chunk of money for themselves. Veterans, as Heinlein mused, are also human and you will get failures, corruption, etc. But by using some sort of limit on who holds office and can vote, it self selects for those that have expressed some willingness to sacrifice personal safety and wealth for the public. Property qualification means that the person is more rooted in making sure that property rights are respected and that they are working and screening out gimmedats. There is no perfect solution but universal suffrage is a disaster waiting to happen. Posted by: whig at September 15, 2026 11:55 AM (E4rtv) 160

Democrats may be in a similar state (but without the same populist appeal, its "populism" being downwardly mobile children of elites who hate their dads). Also, I'm not equating Kamala with Trump, they're obviously very different beasts (Kamala represents one major faction while Trump was purely an outsider).

240 Biden got about 8 million votes from voters who didn’t exist. We squelched that in 2024, although the Demonrats still tried to cheat, and did, a little. As long as we keep up our efforts to keep the election clean, Harris can’t win against any half decent Republican nominee.
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at September 15, 2026 12:16 PM (IAdFa) ===== False. Democrats just decided to lose on purpose and can ramp up the cheat to infinity levels no matter what.

229 First, we need to ensure vote integrity in Congress. Add fingerprint, iris, facial, and voice verification to Congressional votes, to make sure that the representative or senator is actually casting their vote. Perhaps add a story problem to make sure they can actually still think.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit As someone that worked on the floor of the US House for a time, this has been a problem for a long time. I remember Senate workers who were friends that ancient Senators would be gaga at their desk and literally drooling and yet still allowed to vote. House has its proxy system of voting that protects people like Kay Grainger who was in memory care. And Scotus had Ruth Bader Ginsburg who had not been seen in months somehow voting and participating in court decisions with Robert's blessing. And we had Joe Biden who was out of it right from the get go in his presidency. We have broader issues--a) the Uniparty, b) the vast sums that cause our elected officials to become offensively wealthy by virtue of holding office, c) the gimmedats whether corporate or welfare, and d) our erstwhile allies that are welfare queens and interfering ones at that.

Gruber's later work often focuses on melancholy subjects. He is credited with beginning the "Misérabiliste" movement in French painting, seen later in the work of Bernard Buffet. Politically, Gruber was a committed communist.
In the late 1930s, Gruber contracted tuberculosis. He missed military service in World War II due to this illness as his health steadily declined, and he further worsened his health with his strenuous social life. He died in Paris on 1 December 1948, having become a nationally known artistic figure.

Regarding AI:
Something has changed inside the AI industry this week. Researchers are resigning. Executives are publicly warning about the pace of development. And three of the biggest names in AI - Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk have all backed calls to slow down the development of increasingly powerful AI systems. That doesn't mean they have discovered some secret technology that the public isn't being told about. But something clearly has them worried. I unplugged Alexa. Then I asked her to turn on the bedroom lights. Nothing. I then asked her to turn on the coffee maker. Nothing. I then asked her to plug herself back in. Nothing.

Media like the BBC, whom Maher ripped for having previously argued that using the word "terrorist" can be a "barrier rather than an aid to understanding."

Something has changed inside the AI industry this week. Researchers are resigning.
Executives are publicly warning about the pace of development. And three of the biggest names in AI - Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk have all backed calls to slow down the development of increasingly powerful AI systems. It's because they're losing money on it, Anthropic and OpenAI are trying to IPO regardless, and their entire business model is to have the government regulate it so hard that it stops any competitors (open source or otherwise) from showing up. Nearly everyone correctly sees this as regulatory capture fishing, even the lefties. PDJT called NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang while Huang was on a panel at an AI conference yesterday and said he's not biting and everyone should go faster to beat Chy-nuh.

Le lit rouge
Francis Gruber One of four 'ladies on beds' paintings. Le Lit rouge, 1944 Femme sur un canapé, 1945 Femme sur un lit rouge, 1946 Femme étendue sur un lit, 1948 1945 and 1946 might have been the upswings, with 1944 and 1948 the despondency periods. Gruber died at the age of 36, in the year of the last painting. Gods and Foolish Grandeur blog spot: "Francis Gruber (15 March 1912, Nancy - 1 December 1948, Paris), French painter, founder of the Nouveau Réalisme school. The son of stained glass artist Jacques Gruber, he first exhibited at the age of 18. While other artists were embracing abstraction, he preferred to paint the figure, being influenced by Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Dürer, Matthias Grünewald, and the engraver Jacques Callot. Asthmatic since childhood, he died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-six. He was buried in the village cemetery in Thomery, Seine-et-Marne, where he had lived for some years; his close friend Alberto Giacometti contributed a sculpture (now missing) for his grave and poet Louis Aragon gave his funeral oration."

Resubmitting this from last night - I'm about 40% of the way there, and I've got a Sunday deadline to file in time for maxing my state contribution.
To those who don't know, I'm taking the plunge and running for State Representative in Connecticut's 135th District (Easton, Weston, Redding). It's a longshot in deep-blue Connecticut, but I'm running anyway. CT runs a public-financing system for state races: candidates who raise $6,700 in small contributions ($5-$340 each) from individuals qualify for a state grant to fund the general election. My filing deadline is coming up, and every day between now and then affects the size of the grant I qualify for. The part that matters to you: only 150 of those donations need to come from inside my district. The rest can come from anywhere, including here. A $25 gift from a Horde member in Texas counts exactly the same toward my threshold as one from my neighbor in Easton.

How so? If power generation, that most are getting from the grid which MAY be natural gas driven, is the factor, it's a part of the whole and they pay for it. They damn sure don't need it for heat as DC's run f*cking HOT all the time and are cooled via A/C units. Newer DC's, at least in Texas, are building near existing mothballed plants that Owebama shut down during his reign of error and firing them back up, powering themselves.

He was for it (and took some very nice related donations), until he was suddenly against it and PA State Treasurer Stacy Garrity, his 2026 challenger. Suddenly, August 2026, Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order implementing what he called the "strictest standards in the nation" for AI data centers, i.e., permit delays, mandatory grid requirements, mandated green energy. And, of course, the federal government needs to reign in demand. The most immediate roadblock to AI infrastructure comes directly from state governance that turned on a dime and stokes fears of massive workforce displacement and job losses across Pennsylvania’s traditional corporate and industrial sectors.

The true miracle of the Internet is that you can sit there and type that and I can't reach you. Well, not my data center. They did mutter something about it at the first meeting, but now there is a pledge to "meet their needs" by the transmission company that used to be the power company, and they've made it clear that the next power plant will be paid for by, well, me. So, to put it as nicely as possible, you are not only lying but you are full of shit. This is not a 'discussion.' You're just posting shit. That really sucks.

It used to be that companies would build on on-site power for industrial plant, or issue a bond to raise funds for local utilities to build it out to meet the increased demand.
Now its just front companies like Beignet putting existing consumers on the hook for it. These SPVs, as they call them, are a pure hustle, and its much bigger than ripping off the consumers. It's also an Enron-style accounting scam on a much larger scale, but we're supposed to pretend it's different because Big Tech is doing it.

A juror who served on the closely watched Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has admitted that she came into the trial with a political agenda, namely to set a precedent that could, in her view, help future mothers. Given who and what the Democrat/Left are I take that to mean help future mothers butcher their children who somehow survived being slaughtered in utero by a Kermit Gosnell with a rusty scissors. That said, it's been rather amusing to watch them twist themselves into knots desperately trying to fight toxic masculinity, while trying not to be evil white supremacists . . . He was the only juror to understand that murder is criminal, even as another male juror, a soyboy named Nick Dargie, 25, who sided with the women, told Good Morning America, “That toward the end of deliberations, the holdout juror would not engage in discussions with others or provide evidence that supported his reasoning, instead choosing to scroll on his phone.” Dargie and the other man on the jury who voted with the women, were undoubtedly male feminists. Massachusetts, after all, is an over-the-top woke Democrat state. So woke, in fact, it’s astounding why the prosecution allowed nine women to be on the jury. Those lawyers have obviously not been paying attention to how liberal women have changed the culture.Because the outcome by all the powers that be was that Clancy is the real victim and so must be exonerated! Even after everything we have witnessed since the coming of President Trump and really for years before that, only serves to reinforce just how low we have sunk as a nation and as a society. While not as dramatic nor as bloody as 9/11 was, this spectacle and what it portends is in its way equally as catastrophic,unlees and until this beast is retried and found guilty. As it stands that may not be likely certainly not a guilty verdict. And therefore my conclusion about where we are as a society. Screwed,mightily unless something drastic changes and puts us back on the rails. For now, have a good day.

Immigration, both illegal and legal, serves almost ZERO purpose to make this place a better place.
Posted by: r hennigantx at September 15, 2026 07:29 AM (/+uur) Legal immigration must be strictly controlled, and it must be a real bitch to become a citizen here, if for nothing else, to make it worth it. Something like this: we have full employment? Sure, we allow more legal immigrants if you got the skills we need. But if we are in a recession? Turn off the taps. Sorry, with high unemployment, we can’t bring in more people. Illegal immigration will always offend me as long as I have to go through a PoE and deal with CBP to get in my own country. I was brought into the world by an evil legal immigrant. So I cannot take the view legal immigrants bring zero value. Unless I am a hypocrite. But I want that strictly controlled.

Maybe whig or someone would know. Did Senators serve at the pleasure of state governors prior to the 17th amendment? That is, was there a mechanism for recall at the state level, either the governor or state legislature?
At the time, “progressives” wanted direct election of Senators, but also because the system had locked up. A couple states could not really decide and were without a Senator or two for a while. It’s another one of those government things where the cure was probably worse than the disease. That seems to happen a lot. Posted by: Common Tater at September 15, 2026 07:40 AM (hefYs) 23

IOW, he wants it more partisan. Apparently the large number of 5:4 and 6:3 outcomes just screams partisan. Nine "justices" is already too many. Take one foreign-born female District "judge" in a shit hole district, who is the product of true Blue Slip partisan appointment, can, without any real attempt to identify any reasoned judicial finding, make a bat scat insane ruling that effects the entire planet all by herself. She has the power over Presidents, the Constitution, Nature, We The People, Immutable Laws of Physics—all by herself. No need to have eight other "judges" dilute or challenge her dictates.

Posted by: fd at September 15, 2026 07:48 AM (MWfyi) Oil is fungible, as they say. It’s a world wide market. When oil prices go up somewhere, demand pressure goes up everywhere, and prices rise. And it’s hard to face, but the pressure is only on consumers. The US is making a big net profit from this price rise, as we’re now the biggest oil exporter. The State of Texas is making hundreds of millions of dollars in increased royalties and excise payments, as are the producers. The problem is that the costs and benefits are divided in a politically unpopular way. Posted by: Tom Servo at September 15, 2026 07:55 AM (MmJyx) 59

JackStraw, thanks, the articles keep providing overviews without details or links to the raw text. I despise that, "Sure, you're right, but you're not allowed to do it right now regardless". If Trump's right, then the ruling should be "no only do we reverse this, we hold states that refuse to comply in contempt and cast them out". I exaggerate slightly, but still, it's amazing how 'let the broken process work' only ever seems to be used *against* us...

This comment is not meant as an apologetic for other societies, but rather as something to ponder.
It is common, as Americans, for us to look outward at various other countries like China, Russia or some Arab nation, and say "you see, they are evil as a people" to justify our wars against them or to develop some kind of revulsion whenever someone is affiliated with those countries. But perhaps we should take a look inwardly. Let's suppose you were some Russian potato farmer and you clicked on the internet to get your latest update on the state of the west and your feed showed you Lindsay Clancy stories, Folsom Street Fair stories, stories of school teachers pushing transgender ideology on children, black teen takeovers, lighting up the Freedom Tower to celebrate full-term abortion, negroes performing Wet Ass Pussy on stage after receiving their Grammy Award, and various other aspects of the late-stage Republic. What would your perception be? I imagine it would be markedly different than your Soviet father's, who marveled at the easy American access to bread and blue jeans.

The weird thing about Trump's barring immigrants from welfare is that it's already the law. Illegals are barred and legal aliens can't receive welfare for at least five years.

Depended upon the state.

When the Flock installer got in his Flockmobile, Keefe followed, to see where he went next and to watch what he did next – just like the Flock cameras do to us. Apparently, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander. The worker who was putting up the Flock camera called the cops on Keefe, who was treated to a Hut! Hut! Hut! for doing what Flock does. The cops rolled up on him and detained him for nearly 20 minutes, despite Keefe’s not having done anything illegal.
Just like Flock says it’s not doing.. InvestigateTV acquired the Flock worker’s 911 emergency call. “I work with Flock Safety. And I called originally because I’m getting followed . . .

Whether it's military hardware or datacenters, it is the same story. Their programmers are shit. Their ability to manufacture needed kit for AI is shit. They simply do not have the capability to match the US in AI (or nearly anything else.)

"from a little over $30 for a ten-quart case (enough for an oil change on a standard V6 or V8 engine)"
I don't know where you are drawing your source, but V6/8 engines a generation ago used less oil (~5 qts) than today (~7). Also oil then was more often non-synthetic since the oils didn't have to be complex chemically engineered synthetic product to deal with turbochargers, variable valve timing systems, timing chains, direct injection engines, far tighter tolerances and emission systems. Of course, back then oil changes were every 3-5k miles, where, for reasons, they expect longer service intervals between 7.5k-10k. There really isn't any comparison anymore.

Posted by: Lady in Black at September 15, 2026 08:07 AM (qBdHI) It's the excuse they're using to prevent the rule from going into place for 2026. Alito's dissent was quite good. -------- Alito contended that the U.S. Postal Service possesses "broad authority to regulate the mail" and that the new rules—which require uniform ballot envelopes and state submission of voter lists—are similar to standard mailing requirements rather than an overreach of federal power. Although Alito acknowledged the "practical concerns" of implementing the rules so close to Election Day, he dismissed these timing issues as insufficient to deny the government emergency relief. He further criticized his colleagues and the litigating states for causing unnecessary delays, arguing that the Court’s own handling of the case over the summer contributed to the current time crunch.

Indigenous Ways of WIC and EBT. First People’s Food Stamps. It’s Historical, gang Posted by: Common Tater at September 15, 2026 07:43 AM (hefYs) Once upon a time, American Indians were at the top of the Left's Victim Pyramid. From about 1970 to 1975, plus or minus. I never understood it, but I was a dumb teenager then. Maybe Cher was the well-known Indian that sparked Hollywood's love affair with American Indians. Then, in 1973 (?) Hollywood and the rest of the left went gaga over Sascheen Littlefeather, since revealed as a fake. (If you don't know that story, it's not worth looking up nowadays.) Buffy Ste. Marie, since revealed as a fake. And others. But the Left eventually realized there weren't enough Indians in any state to make an electoral difference for Democrats. Other than at very local levels. So the Left pushed blacks back up to the top of the pyramid. Indians are now used by the left only to prevent construction of things the Left doesn't like. Beyond that, the Left now doesn't care if every Indian man drank himself to death by age 25. The Seventies were crazy, my friends. Posted by: Gref at September 15, 2026 08:24 AM (5rh/l) 117

Statistic after statistic shows that the average Chinese IQ is much higher than the average American IQ. Their education programs are far more rigorous than the West's. Their culture is more oriented towards academic and white collar achievement.
===== This is remarkably uninformed. Can't compare IQ scores internationally like that. Their education program is focused on rote learning and memorization. Education is NOT free at any level in China. Their culture is oriented toward cheating, cutting corners, and avoiding anything that might draw negative attention from the authorities. There is massive unemployment and underemployment. Posted by: San Franpsycho at September 15, 2026 08:35 AM (RIvkX) 142

It's worse than that for them. If you're a potato farmer, you don't have State Approval to get on social media, news sites, etc of the rest of the world - that's reserved for the 'certainly not state-backed, comrade' bot farms and the intelligence agencies. So it's... "You get on the redacted internet, because you know not to use the government-issue software that's pre-installed on your phone. You're in luck, one of your 3rd-party VPNs kinda works today, this one hasn't worked in a week. You can get on a couple social media sites and see (stuff), others block you because your VPN is more of a web proxy that still shows a Russian IP. You know you can't trust your own media, can you trust the American media? You don't know. You know that the only safe answer to the pollsters is that you love and support the government and the war, though."

"Texas Republicans were already fretting about slipping support with voters of color. Then Bo French got on X.
The Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner posted a photo of a crowd of University of Texas football fans, most of them people of color, saying, “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”The Sunday morning comments, which appeared to target South Asian students, sent Lone Star Republicans into a frenzy, worried about the impact the rhetoric could have on GOP candidates up and down the ballot, including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s high-profile Senate race and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s reelection fight. A number of Republican lawmakers, including some in tough races, quickly denounced the post as racist, as others squirmed with carefully worded statements. And GOP operatives winced at the potential electoral backlash — in a year that’s already looking tougher-than-normal for a party that has dominated the state for decades. Still, no one explicitly called for him to drop out of the race" Posted by: runner at September 15, 2026 08:36 AM (AKptf) 147

Their education program is focused on rote learning and memorization
——- Not focused on per se. Both are absolutely a critical component of a classical education. Don’t be fooled, the leftists sabotaged education long ago. They couched it in terms “We teach students how to think, not what to think” lying the whole time. Names, dates, facts, and figures are important. That’s why they deleted it. Even Trivia is important. More than once in my life, some seemingly useless bit of information I retained for no other reason than maybe knowledge for knowledge’s sake literally saved my ass. It has always stuck in my craw whenever some MFer in “education” started bitching about “rote memorization”. Usually in conjunction with standardized testing. They are all fucking clowns.

Their culture is oriented toward cheating, cutting corners, and avoiding anything that might draw negative attention from the authorities.
You describe pretty much every MBA in an American business. That ethos is in every single board room and every single C-Suite and several layers down. I look at SAIC and BYD and note that there is no Western counterpart except Tesla that can compete with them. And their cars compete very well with South Korean and Japanese models. That is fresh engineering. They have also made a commodity out of firmware, drivers and the myriad of things that run off of it. Do not confuse execution of designs with actual designs. In theory the Three Gorges Dam should be a marvel, in execution they used their short-cut culture to sabotage the construction.

They don't count all of their population for 'literacy', they count 'the good schools'. Other shenanigans, too, I'm sure. China's got a higher raw count of geniuses but also a higher count of dumbasses, but by percentage they're probably not *actually* much better than the rest of us, except that geniuses are probably not allowed to 'go to waste' and thus are probably shoved into programming, etc, so are over-represented beyond what normal inclination-based employment would construct.

Because only retards click on the "Do This One Simple Trick" Let say that a thinking person decided to lose weight. It would involve far more than a GLP injection. A thinking person would consider, stratify, and do all the things like consider insulin resistance and compose a campaign of sleep, diet, exercise, fasting, stress-management, environment and other modalities; strategically implementing each vector to maximize managing insulin. The food would be targeted to not spike insulin, to not lose too much muscle (like fad diets and medications invariably do), to possibly induce ketosis... Exercise would be timed, chosen and performed to work in harmony with the other effects., So China sending out cheap propaganda is one tool out of many that they are simultaneously using.

Once again, the Supreme Court who is so sooper conservative that Democrats want to further corrupt them, rules in favor of Democrats on a pretty clear cut election issue. Even Kavanaugh had to admit in concurrence that the plan was probably legal, but too close to the election. So he, Roberts, Gorsuch and ACB voted with the Democrats liberal clown posse. You have to wonder how many times that group will fall for the Democrats scheme to use the courts as a means of running out the clock, only for the court to say it’s too close to the election. Which is what Alito and Thomas said in dissent. They might as well wear kick me signs.

Statistic after statistic shows that the average Chinese IQ is much higher than the average American IQ.
=== Let me tell you something about their IQ. The parents will and do spend tons of money on tutors, extracurricular classes, and everything else they need, to drill, drill, drill. Then they pass the tests. That is how they do it. It's not some innate higher IQ. I'd say most people can be trained to perform well on tests.

And yes you will occasionally get white racists going on about it but then someone will point out Jewish people also scorer higher then white westerners in general and well then the conversation really goes pair shaped...
It is not by accident that Jews are over represented in filed patents. I understand the fun in manipulating arguments by doing large number statistics, like "average temperature of the Earth". Lets look at the Pareto Principle, I don't care if the 80% are drooling retards because it is the 20% who get shit done. Given how DEI has sent a significant chunk of that 20% to smoke dope, play video games and beat off in the basement of mom's house, AI has been a wonderful tool in the 5% who REALLY get shit done, so even if 95% are goof-offs and smooth brains, the 5% is pulling the load. How China compares in fielding their 5% vs Jewish 5% or Western 5%? Are there even honest studies? Posted by: Community Notes at September 15, 2026 08:59 AM (nCgQz) 227
They claim they don't want you to parrot the answer but to "understand" it - and then parrot it. They want to know they own your mind
Exactly. The mind is like a computer hard drive, in a way. The idea is to fill it early on, and get an operating system that allows one to navigate life. All those facts and figures and names and dates won’t necessarily be useful right away. But they will he invaluable when older, when higher order thinking matures. They do not want people thinking for themselves. And they do not want people to be able to draw upon history or anything that went on before. It’s always Year Zero in the leftist world. That’s why they denigrate “rote memorization” and “teaching for the test”. They are nothing more than mind saboteurs at this point. Posted by: Common Tater at September 15, 2026 09:00 AM (hefYs) 228
Texas isn’t going to elect Talarico and most don’t give a fig about that X post. In fact a lot of people outside the cities feels the same way. There seem to be a lot of invaders who don’t like our way of life and Christianity running around the Lone Star state. In fact that’s why a lot of people are pissed at Abbott.

IMHO black 'road aggression' began as a tiny slice of Reparations. Get an edge on Whitey, diss Whitey, any you can. Cut them off. Piss them off. Drive slowly in front of them for a time.

The Washington Free Beacon-
Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed falsely claimed in a 2012 essay that an Iraqi refugee in California was brutally murdered in an anti-Muslim attack because she had the "courage to wear a Hijab." In truth, Shaima Alawadi's husband killed her in an act of domestic violence that he staged to look like a hate crime. El-Sayed, in an article on March 28, 2012, equated Alawadi's killing with the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black Florida teenager, as examples of the "racism, xenophobia, and hate" in American society against minorities.

El-Sayed, in an article on March 28, 2012, equated Alawadi's killing with the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black Florida teenager, as examples of the "racism, xenophobia, and hate" in American society against minorities.

NYPost: An “anonymous donor” paid for the cremation of President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, just days after the deadly Butler, Pa., rally shooting, according to federal records reviewed by The Post. The revelation was included in a trove of documents provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), as part of his ongoing inquiry into the first Trump assassination attempt.

Karl Rove is the distillation of the Boomer lib Republican:
- utterly insignificant and completely unaccomplished but for a quirk of fate - pathologically driven to constantly seek praise from the left - neurotic paranoia at ever being called a racist But for 600 votes in FL twenty six years ago, no one would know his name. And he'd rather destroy the country--let the Dems win--than let anyone accuse him, no matter how unfounded or malicious the charge, of being a racist. And remember: His grand political strategy was not "deliver on campaign promises" it was "what are you stupid losers going to do, vote for the other guy? He's worse!" No wonder the establishment scumbags love him. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at September 15, 2026 09:29 AM (3cUTc) 330
Princeton researchers just ran a first-of-its-kind test of the AI industry's boldest promise: that AI will soon improve itself with almost no human oversight. They gave frontier AI agents six days, $3,000 in compute, and every resource they asked for — and both papers were unambiguously rejected. But the machine didn't fail the way you'd think. It aced every task. What it couldn't do was the job. In this video: the tasks vs. jobs distinction, the five failure modes, and the Turing Award-winning math that explains exactly which parts of your work AI can take — and which it can't touch.

I agree we can't run and hide from "controversial" thoughts. The problem is how many "controversial" thoughts come from real deal people (precious few) and how many come from people attempting sabotage from within (so many). Romney had some controversial thoughts of his own ("47%") but instead of standing behind them dealt with them in a mealy mouthed dishonest fashion, which only hurts us and any controversial thoughts we might have.

Good Morning, all, and thank you, J.J.
From above, 'A juror who served on the closely watched Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has admitted that she came into the trial with a political agenda, namely to set a precedent that could, in her view, help future mothers.' I have held to - since the trial was ongoing - that the defense has a way bigger problem defending RN Clancy than it seems on the surface. And so, not only must the Court go back and examine the gentleman's - and I'll refer to him as such until there's solid evidence he's not - pre-trial questionnaire, but also the woman who has acknowledged an agenda and her accomplices - at least two other women and perhaps Nick Dargie, too. (Though he struck me as cellar dweller with more of a Mommy problem than agenda, now it's being reported he's a U.S. Army veteran who was overseas (South Korea) when the children were viscously murdered in 2023.) Who knows? There could be motive as he beat a fast path to the press to get out front, defend the girl gang, and point at another man as obstructive, uncooperative. Over to 9/11 and PA: PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton generated strong conversation criticism for remarks she Posted by: L - No nic... at September 15, 2026 09:34 AM (NFX2v) 344
made during a panel discussion on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. (Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News)
During a legislative panel on 9/10/26, the speaker fielded questions regarding the anniversary of a 9/11 attacks. She recalled her time as a college student during the tragedy and stated that American is at risk of another terrorist attack, adding: "Thank God we've not had another attack...But we have to also recognize that our policies are impacting our perception around the world." Republican Whip Tim O'Neal issued a public statement calling on the House of Representatives to denounce her remarks. He accused McClinton of using the anniversary to pivot into a critique of the federal government and falsely inferring that Americans brought the disaster upon themselves. State Senator Scott Martin criticized her on social media, arguing her emphasis should be on understanding the concerns of the victims' families. Dan Bartkowiak of the PA Family Council publicly questioned whether she was suggesting that U.S. domestic & immigration policies somehow justified the hostility of the terrorists. Crickets.

If you want a waiver for a measles vaccine in Arkansas, no matter how immune you are from having had measles, you must also first be lectured about how great vaccines are.
In my case, the cheapest course of action was to get a blood test to show immunity to MMR. That was certainly cheaper than getting the shots and allows me to still come to campus if there's an outbreak.

Evening and morning, satellites and satraps of the vast AoSHQ Empire! Is it really Tiu's Day already?
Weird dreams last night. I was going on a marathon walk through a chain of canyons in the West, but it was going to rain and I needed a jacket and hat. So I detoured all the way home to my mother's place. Apparently I expected to find her sitting in a posh railroad dining car, the third booth from the back, but she wasn't there; and the maitre d' said there was no record of her in that space. The rest is lost to history. Later I was in a gigantic grocery store on a Saturday morning, trying to get money out of an ATM, but it was "unable to dispense cash right now." That at least happens to me in waking life pretty often. So, whassup? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 15, 2026 06:10 AM (wzUl9) 61

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at September 15, 2026 *** Auto owner's manuals, at least for GM cars, have been spelling it "gage" for a long time. My '89 Oldsmobile Cutlass had "gage" in the book.

My 1975 Ford Maverick owner's manual has "fuel gauge." The '75 Cadillac, however, has "gage." So I suspect it was a GM quirk.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 15, 2026 06:26 AM (wzUl9) 67
The rarely used word gage means “something, as a glove, thrown down by a medieval knight in token of challenge to combat.
Sometimes, gage is used as an alternate spelling of gauge in technical contexts when referring to measuring equipment or machinery. However, this usage is very rare and the spelling gauge is much more commonly used even in technical language.” Huh. I was today years old when I learned that.

A building on Dauphine St. in the French Quarter has had a partial collapse. I don't recall the specific building -- so many of them look alike. When I was a kid, Mom would walk us back from Canal St. shopping along Burgundy for two blocks, then cut over to Dauphine for four blocks before coming back to Bourbon, where we lived. I guess she didn't want us seeing the ads for the strippers on Bourbon. Why she skipped Burgundy, I don't know; perhaps it had a rep as being occupied by scruffy people.
As soon as I was old enough to walk around on my own, age twelve, I took Bourbon St. downtown. Entertaining, to say the least. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 15, 2026 06:42 AM (wzUl9) 81

What, exactly, is piracy about the fact that I am logged into X with my account. I follow a link to a video post. The post DOES NOT PLAY. I go to someplace like xcancel, the video plays without issue. Alternatively I go to an unprotected browser and do NOT log in? The video plays fine (but I get half the screen filled with 'log in' and 'download the app with this qr code'). This is piracy? This is a me problem? This is an xcancel problem? I should 'just get an account, lol' as you were insisting yesterday? Posted by: RandomDave (if you can spare a bit, please click!) at September 15, 2026 07:19 AM (aJQbY) 111

the military does like disambiguating between verb and thing, like fuse and fuze, so it may have been a 'two spellings exist, we pick one for the action, one for the thing, and use it consistently' I do wish we could count on AI to dig into etymology without being seduced by 'majority=true' or 'hallucination=true'.

I'm going to chime in once about the xcancel thing.
I fiddled with the old API back in the beginnings, when you could download it and build your own Twitter app if you had even basic programming chops. It was not difficult at all, and the TOS were quite permissive. That changed years ago. Thus I have to wonder if services like xcancel were acting within the current TOS, which would be a legal issue if they aren't. Yes, it kinda sucks, but I can see where it may come from.

Amazing how Trump is letting the Saudi’s twist in the wind over the Houthi attacks.
The Saudis are third-world nobility with a bunch of first-world toys. On paper they could steamroll the Houthis, but in a stand-up fight they'd fold in weeks. Their preferred military policy is "let's you and him fight". They want us to do their dirty work for them, and Don's not that stupid.

Brother Tim, from a legal standpoint yeah there's probably an issue, and I understand-but-will-always-disagree with the 'if you don't sue, you're consenting' caselaw. I just get het up about people insisting that there's no legit technical issues at play and 'just get an account lol' in such an asshole way. I need to work on that button, probably.

Sailboats are awesome.
They make you slow down and enjoy the journey. You have to be a meticulous planner, yet be prepared and willing to adjust to change. Change in the wind, the waves, the temperature. You have to be able to cook a four course meal in a blow. Sometimes it squalls when it’s supposed to be sunny. It’s the adventure. And the journey. And the tinkering with the sails. That’s the best. I love flying a spinnaker. What a rush. And sailing at night in a light breeze with a trail of phosphorescence. And the stars! Oh man. The stars.

Had this happen with an emergency landing. I was yarding people off the plane - technically they were falling/jumping and I was catching/slowing their descent (no ladder, no slide). Everyone off and I turned to run and saw a woman in her 70s getting up off the ground by another door. Hustled over and picked her up and carried her. Looked up and there were a lot of able bodied men who no doubt saw her before me - they were busy recording on their phones. Disgusting.

Do all the boats in the harbor just dump their poop in the water?
No. I don't recall the details but there are strict laws about dumping sewage within [ n ] miles of land. So offshore cruisers might but most have chemical heads and holding tanks like RVs. Posted by: Oddbob at September 14, 2026 10:27 PM (vTZFs) 92
I probably way understated it, theres a guy on an end tie on my dock with a 57 ft power boat. He says he pays over $4.5k/mo.

The part of sailing on the lakes here I found interesting was that two boats near each other constituted a race. I wasn't good enough to compete but my little brother was good. He doesn't mind a little water coming into the cockpit!

Big Ethel probably did butt stuff. She had to do something to compete with hotties like Betty and Veronica.
Posted by: Delurker I suppose some might think it should cost me a corner snipped of my raggedy old AoS mancard, but "butt stuff" was never anything I found, um, of interest. For so many reasons. Like, poop. And, inches from Paradise. IYKYK Big Ethel was an "ugly" character in the Archies comic books… Posted by: Delurker Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again, TV Movie, 1990 (not to be confused with the later awful Riverdale movie), had the kids post-college. One good scene was Ethel, who had blossomed into a hot supermodel (and, as I recall, headed straight for the hot tub). I seem to recall B & V bathing at Archie's, but I don't recall if they were in the same shower together. Probably not; you'd think I'd remember something like that. It was otherwise a pretty stupid and forgettable movie. But still superior to that later series. Posted by: mindful webworker - reggie did b stuff for moose at September 14, 2026 10:36 PM (4lnVb) 111

Evening, all,
I did not grow up with the Archie comics, so I found the Riverdale series of a few years ago, a darker take on the characters, to be fascinating. The guy who played Jughead, Cole Sprouse, was excellent. Luke Perry had one of his last acting roles before his death as Archie's dad, and Madchen Amick played Betty's mother.

We just finished watching the original The 39 Steps, Hitchcock's 1935 flick. It's got humor and wit in the right places, Donat and Madeleine Carroll are great, and it certainly moves. But there are big gaps in narrative logic, as if scenes were clipped out. How does Hannay, Donat's character, switch suits while he is on the run, for instance? We should have seen him filching a suit somehow.

We were told in one of David McDaniel's U.N.C.L.E. tie-in novels that Napoleon Solo kept a sloop called the Pursang at some dock in the NYC area. Either the Command paid Solo awfully well, or he had some private income -- and either way slip fees must have been a lot cheaper in the Sixties.

Strictly a landlubber from the prairies here. Only sailing I ever did was at summer camp up in Minnesota. Memorably, one day our cabin counselor and three of us boys from the cabin were zipping around on the lake, and managed to snap the mast, coincidentally, over by the girls' camp. We waded ashore there, but other than some adult women, we didn't even see any of the girls. That story could have turned out better.

I'm off to pillow time; got to work out tomorrow, and visit the local library for some more DVDs. It's gettin' tougher to find good stuff. Either the classic films don't have subtitles, or we've seen 'em; the "mysteries" are really just crime tales unless they are Agatha Christie adaptations or The Last of Sheila, and we've seen those.
And looming over all is the specter of gray-blue, "ashen" cinematography where everything looks like an overcast winter day in Scotland.

Hey Horde, I'm taking the plunge and running for State Representative in Connecticut's 135th District (Easton, Weston, Redding). It's a longshot in deep-blue Connecticut, but I'm running anyway. Here's where 'y'all' come in. CT runs a public-financing system for state races: candidates who raise $6,700 in small contributions ($5-$340 each) from individuals qualify for a state grant to fund the general election. I need real people giving small amounts, fast. My filing deadline is coming up, and every day between now and then affects the size of the grant I qualify for. The part that matters to you: only 150 of those donations need to come from inside my district. The rest can come from anywhere, including here. A $25 gift from a Horde member in Texas (hint, Ben Had) counts exactly the same toward my threshold as one from my neighbor. If you'd back a candidate trying to keep CT from becoming CA, I'd be grateful: https://tinyurl.com/2dr6tp2e Thanks for reading, and thanks to CBD as well.

In important news (baseball):
Had a fall baseball practice for catchers and pitchers. My oldest catches and after catching for some of the pitchers, they gave the catchers an opportunity to show their best pop times (time from the catcher's glove to the glove of the baseman covering second base). MLB average pop times are 1.6-2.5 seconds. My oldest smoked the competition with 2.15 seconds. Next closest was 2.25 seconds. The third guy got 2.35 seconds. I might mention that the slowest was a senior, varsity catcher. My oldest is a freshman. He's worked very hard at it, and it was a nice triumph for him and opportunity to show the coach and players there what kind of stuff he had.

Yanmar's are not good? Only ones I have experience with were quite good, served us well on a very long trip to the Sea of Cortez and back, with of course the final 800 miles being on motor, as the wind direction is, literally consistent with the joke, from the tip of Pt. Loma towards the bow of your boat, all the way. Hence the "Baja bash" on the return.

So, they wheeled out on the floor to prove he's alive but he could not speak.
GPT-5.6 Luna: Yes—reports indicate Mitch McConnell was wheeled onto the Senate floor today, September 14, 2026, and cast his first vote since his June hospitalization. He did speak briefly to reporters beforehand, saying he was glad to be back, but his speech was described as noticeably slower and quiet. On the Senate floor, he reportedly spoke very little and senators had to lean in to hear him. So your impression is broadly right: he was present and voted, but the appearance did not show him giving a substantial speech or clearly demonstrating normal speaking ability. His office attributed his ongoing recovery to the June fall, pneumonia, and lingering effects of childhood polio, but has not provided a detailed medical diagnosis Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 15, 2026 02:08 AM (Cq/ve) 244

The asphalt seals the staple holes. I pulled siding and felt off a house that was framed up 120 years prior, and the boards underneath looked like they had been milled the day before.

I am just fascinated with how the footings for bridges were constructed. There are bridges from 2,000 years ago still functional.

I think this is a remarkable photograph, showing Tower Bridge being built in 1889. It is most beautifully colourised by Jordan Lloyd (known as Dynamic Chrome) and is one of my favourite pieces of colourised art.
---- One of my favorite parts of the Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey, Jr. was the shots of the Tower Bridge under construction. It also served as a nice "Chekov's Gun" for the climax of the movie. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 14, 2026 07:26 PM (FZ29D) 37
I do like the commercial where in the middle of the night the dog pulls on the towel on the fridge to to open it and passes out in front of the fridge after having eaten everything. The dad and kid discover him and just look at the mess. Then a close up of the dad saying ' what the F '.

The Big Dummy went to the doggie chiropractor for a final visit today. They later send a report on the work done and findings. There's a section that may say something like, "Diana was cheerful, outgoing and loves attention." I asked them, "Do you have ones that say, 'Rover is a psychopath'?" They hemmed and hawed and said essentially, yes, but diplomatically expressed. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 14, 2026 07:31 PM (eRlcH) 48
My Mom work for the soil conservation corp in Little Rock in around 63 64 65.
One of her projects was to take a map of Arkansas about 4' x 5' and then colour code the different soils with colored pencils. She said she worked on it off and on for about a year.

She also had to mark the county seats on a big map with no roads or hiways.
So she took a Texaco map with the markings and then guessed on the big print with no roads where the seat was and marked it with a stencil. Posted by: r hennigantx at September 14, 2026 07:33 PM (/+uur) 56

I had a friend who made a chain mail shirt. He bought several big boxes of those keyring things and slowly worked them together in patterns every Friday Night game of Champions we'd play and eventually made a shirt. Kinda tore up his fingers but it was so cool when it was done. Of course, back then they didn't have that kind of quality of nickel-plated steel either Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 14, 2026 07:36 PM (K32Fz) 65

I'm thinking more in terms of how a rifle was invented
I remember reading a book that described how they made the best rifle barrels. They'd take nails and pound them flat, heat them and turn them into a billet, then curve it around a mold and weld it in place (not with a welder, just heat and pounding). The grooving was carved out with a steam powered lathe. This was in the early 1800s. Part of why rifles were so rare and expensive.

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, My fair Lady. The author of the book “The Traditional Games of England, Scotland and Ireland” Alice Bertha Gomme suggests that the origin of “London Bridge Is Falling Down” refers to the use of a medieval punishment known as immurement. Immurement is when a person is encased into a room with no openings or exits and left there to die. Posted by: r hennigantx at September 14, 2026 07:37 PM (/+uur) 71

So the train mov'd slowly along the Bridge of Tay, Until it was about midway, Then the central girders with a crash gave way, And down went the train and passengers into the Tay!

I know it sounds unbelievable but the 60 Minutes segment on the rescued flier was actually good. James Mitchener's book Tales of the South Pacific (upon which the musical South Pacific was based) is a collection of short stories inspired by Mitchener's WWII service. One story concerns the Japanese astonishment at how many resources the US was willing to risk to rescue one guy. Pretty much the same thing.

According to a Houston Chronicle report, Paxton said that at age 12 another boy threw a berry at him during a game of hide-and-seek. The freak accident left him temporarily near-blind and forced weeks of immobile recovery to save his vision.
Later, as a freshman at Baylor University, he took an elbow to the same side of his face during a basketball game, an injury serious enough to require doctors to repair facial bones. The result is what people notice today. His left eye is green, his good eye. His right eye is brown and shaded by a drooping lid. This is his personal story, not a political weakness.

Posted by: polynikes at September 14, 2026 08:09 PM (KC5Lt) --- It is very effective against cuts and slashes, but vulnerable to bludgeoning (which can break the bones underneath) or a piercing weapon that can split the rings apart. All armor has tradeoffs, and one that D&D players never experienced was heat exhaustion. Under the armor you have to wear some sort of padding and that traps heat. It's a good thing in Northern Europe, but in warmer climates it's an issue. You can see why so many armies (Greeks, Romans) did not wear pants, which lock in heat. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Those days were the preparation for a marriage which, even erotically, was no success; a preparation which, however, was in a way sufficient to itself, exquisite and brief, like those melodies which outlive the forgotten works they belong to and hint in their delicate and veiled gaiety at themes which later in the finished work were to be developed without skill, and fail."

Posted by: weft cut-loop at September 14, 2026 07:19 PM (HeG1i) Those sound like rugelach- my dad made those every Christmas. Cream cheese pastry rolled into a circle, spread with a thin layer of apricot or plum preserves, sprinkled with toasted walnuts or pecans, then cut into triangles, rolled up like a crescent roll, brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with sugar. And yes, excellent with coffee or tea! Rose Levy Beranbaum has an recipe in her Christmas cookie book, which I might dd, is both a great cookbook as well as gorgeous.

Part of why rifles were so rare and expensive.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 14, 2026 07:37 PM (K32Fz) Spanish rifle barrels were done that way. Northern Spain had iron and coal, and water power to run their "Basque forges" which depended on a system of blowing air from water pressure. Spanish ore was heavy in Phosphorous, which made a ductile wrought iron and a soft steel that would not shatter, both of which were desirable in old fashioned guns. There were gunsmiths that made wrought iron barrels using old horseshoes which were considered very fine in quality and beaten beyond what the forges could do, and one gunsmith did make a barrel out of nails, but that was referred to in the book I read on the subject as sort of a masterwork to show he could do it more than an industry practice. Rifles are hard to make and require precision that was not found in the normal gunworks. IIRC wheellocks tended to all be rifled since they were high end mechanisms.

Even at 52 years old, there is not much that Ichiro cannot do on the baseball diamond. The Hall of Famer proved as much when he launched eight home runs in the Mariners Alumni Home Run Derby last month. As if we needed any more evidence, he provided it with a sterling pitching performance -- yes, a pitching performance -- at the Tokyo Dome on Sunday. Ichiro was on the mound in an annual All-Star Game against the best high school girls baseball players in Japan. And he dominated. Ichiro pitched a complete game shutout on 127 pitches with a whopping 17 strikeouts to steer his team to victory. He also served as the team's leadoff hitter and rapped a pair of hits. Hey. He's 52.

Cookies are awesome. My mom was a crappy cook. Seriously. But she baked cookies. All kinds of magical, wonderful cookies.
Too bad she didn’t let me eat them. The rest of the family, yes. But not me. At 92# and 5 feet tall she restricted my food intake. Wanted to “help me” be thin for gymnastics. She put a lock on the refrigerator and on the pantry. I had to steal change out of her purse to buy a candy bar for lunch. In high school. It was awful. So. Now I have food issues. And I’m fat.

I remember some peanut butter cookies she made. I was a small kid but they were MASSIVE. They had to weigh half a pound. My friends' cat Snowflake has been inside more often. I'll keep her and her mom Starry here in the winter. Not a problem. Big house. They don't do damage. But Snowflake had been in more often. Kind of going on counters she usually doesn't. It's like she's staking out areas. And I'm not fattening her up again, well I'm watching her weight but it seems like she's trying to put on winter weight....

@SenMcConnell Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues. My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me. Elaine and I are very grateful for all the continued well wishes from our fellow Kentuckians, and I’m glad to get back to more of business as usual on their behalf this month.

James Talarico reverses stance on trans student-athletes, says he opposes trans athletes in girls’ sports “if it risks safety or fairness”
Democrats legitimately have no winning recourse here except to avoid the topic and they keep sticking their foot in their mouth and selling out one of their most stalwart voting blocs. Honestly thats the best arguement now, anytime Republicans bring it up make them the weird ones for bringing it up then move on to the economy, power, and other number of problems the state is facing. Democrats seem desperate to lose this election, much like ignoring left wing activists regarding Gaza in 2024. I’m more and more feeling like the Dems are in on it with the Republicans in tearing America apart. "if it risks safety or fairness" Cool, so you support trans women and girls having the right to play sports since it's been proven time and time again that it doesn't risk safety or fairness. He also said in the same interview that he supports a national ban on surgery for trans minors, which is already bad and gets worse when you also factor in that this also means a ban on blockers and hormones.

A federal appeals court on Friday vacated the U.S. Department of Energy’s emergency order requiring the owners of a coal-fired power plant in Michigan to delay its planned retirement, saying the move usurped state authority over generating resources. The suit was brought by Earthjustice, which represented the Sierra Club and Urban Core Collective. Also, the Michigan attorney general argued the case for Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. Other petitioners included the Natural Resources Defense Council, Michigan Environmental Council, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Law and Policy Center, Vote Solar, the Ecology Center and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

A lot of people don't realise that Abdul El-Sayed strictly adheres to his religion by lying about non-Muslims. Koran not only allows lying but requires it to undermine the enemy, and we are the enemy. Sadly too many Democrats have no idea what is going on.

So, I was wondering why Donkey Chompers was being so weirdly public about her breakup with that dickless ginger dude. I've said since it happened that the Party is preparing her for a Presidential run at some point soon. They'll put her in the White House - she can win - but she's too retarded to do any Presidentin', and she'll need a day-to-day handler - an actual President. So they'll arrange a marriage to some high-profile Party man who will control her career. Now, I'm wondering if Zohran will have a nasty falling out with the ol' ball-and-chain soon, too. It would be a good way to park that foreign swine in the White House.

But the ad is more spot-on than he realizes: - he doesn't listen to any of them or take their order - this person this table gets a drink, that person at that table gets a plate of food; the people they're with get neither. - he doesn't even talk to them or interact with them at all while doing this So, a perfect socialist: you get what I decide you get, and only who I decide who gets, and you'll have no input, choice or feedback.

>>> Degenerate Kennedy layabout and clout-farmer Jack Schlossburg's "girlfriend" says he's cheating on her with 200+ women, which must mean he's running again for higher office.
I can never remember which Kennedy Millennial/Gen Z spawn it was Taylor Swift dated. But I'm sure they are all cheaters, it's a family tradition! Apparently the Travis Kelce/ Taylor Swift honeymoon might be over: she does not want to live in boring flyover country during the football season, and he kinda has to be there to like, y'know, practice and stuff. Being on a huge tour during the bulk of their courtship probably let them avoid this conflict, and now they have to face it. Good luck to them! If she could get into it and stop with thirsting for the single life with her girl squad, a tradwife WAG era where she just writes at home with babies, could be a good thing for her. But I don't think she's mature enough to handle that yet. I think she either pushes him to retire, or transfer to a team in CA or NY. Her ex Harry Styles performed at Madison Square garden and poked fun that it is now a wedding venue. Good for him! Posted by: LizLem at September 14, 2026 06:55 PM (Eng1Z) 212

Our coins were gold before 1933, too. The silver subsidiary coinage, and the gold coinage, were among the most beautiful coins intended for commerce ever produced. Everyone should own a $10 Eagle or $20 double Eagle just to look at real money once in a while. Gorgeous. I like the Walker half dollars.
When you see pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and halves from that time period, they are almost always worn to the point of being unrecognizeable (known as "slicks" in the numismatic trade). They were the workhorse of business and commerce. They traveled widely and fast. Think about that, the major denomination for shopping and purchases were 25c and 50c pieces.

When you see pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and halves from that time period, they are almost always worn to the point of being unrecognizeable (known as "slicks" in the numismatic trade).
Posted by: Common Tater at September 14, 2026 07:08 PM (No2m My great-grandpa gave my dad a silver dollar in about 1936, when dad was seven years old. He told him that it was his "bottom dollar." Dad carried that in his pocket until the day he died, at the age of 93. It was worn so smooth you could see only one little nick where the neckline of the imprinted bust was located. He used to pull it out and spin it on the table for little kids to play with. But he never gave it up. Posted by: tcn in AK at September 14, 2026 07:16 PM (Ntshk) 312
>>> Can you imagine having the ego to have a "wedding" at that sort of venue, filled with all your adoring worshippers?
It wasn't even worshippers! It was like any celebrity she had ever met, and even some she hadn't. And she staggered them in tiers, with the "best" celebs coming later, so you knew where you stood on the totem pole. Some were there for hours before things got started. I think the sports celebs and their wives that came because of the groom were treated prettily shabbily. Tom Brady was photographed cutting out the second he could politely escape, good for him.

The washer and dryer sit in a cubby. No room on the side to get it with a broom or vacuum. I'd have to haul my carcass on top of the dryer and try and get it with the hose attachment from over the top. Easier to just shimmy it out and scoop it up. First World Problems.

This is a modern-day lynching.
For real, this time. Angry white mob hunting down a lone black man. Most people don't realize that every lynch mob in history felt morally justified. They always think they're "the good guys" in the situation. The lynching victim is always depicted as a villain who needs punishment. No one thought they were being "racist" (besides which, the vast majority of lynching victims weren't even black, but that's a different story). They just thought hey were meting out morally correct punishment. What's happening to day is no different from a white mob lynching a black man they're chasing through the bayou with torches. Except this, time, the mob has purple hair. Posted by: zombie at September 14, 2026 05:05 PM (Av6i5) 94

Yes. Guilty. So he is no shining example of humanity. Neither are the screaming scheming harpies on that jury. ALL did illegal acts. Just goes to show there is no reason to be on a jury. You probably will not survive it. Posted by: Kafiroon at September 14, 2026 05:05 PM (VyFya) 98

What tubal and Unvaxxed Ranger just said - there must be multiple serious violations of law here involving jurors.
Federal angle on that, even though underlying case is state? Tempting to write off the country with crap like this (which is just a near-daily event now) - but we recovered from racist jury nullification in the civil rights' era south, so theoretically we can overcome outrageous injustices like this?

Related: if you didn't see the movie "Barbie", check out the opening scene.
Little girls are shown in a bleak landscape, wearing dull clothes, and playing with lifelike baby dolls, while the voiceover intones that life for girls used to be like this ("ask your mom," it snarkily adds). Until.... BARBIE! the hypersexual doll with sky-high heels, impossible figure, and cat-eyed shades appears, with a sliver of the moon over its head, like the Monolith in "2001." Then the girls stare up, amazed. And then they start to violently, gleefully smash the heads of the baby dolls, like the Ape started to bash bones with a club in "2001." Doll heads break and fragments fly. Predictive programming, anyone? Posted by: Beverly at September 14, 2026 05:08 PM (reMys) 119
Posits:
- The defense attorney went all-in on this, pushing past ethical and legal boundaries because he knew he was going to get disbarred for the other stuff. - But winning this case sets up a multi-million dollar book deal. -When he resigns in lieu of sanctions and it all gets swept under the rug.

(besides which, the vast majority of lynching victims weren't even black, but that's a different story)
One of the most notorious cases of a lynching was Leo Frank - he was a Jewish guy who was accused of murdering a young girl in his factory. Most investigators believe the culprit was actually a black man named Jim Conley who worked at the faciility who successfully misled both the cops and the mob that came for Frank. So to your point, the mob thought they were meting out justice but they got the wrong guy... Posted by: 18-1 at September 14, 2026 05:09 PM (sKqQm) 127

A GiveSendGo campaign for the "unnamed holdout juror" was organized & over $110,000 has been raised. The funds are intended to cover security, potential legal fees, and lost wages following a public backlash, allegations that his identify was compromised through unredacted court documents, and heavy medical scrutiny into his past.
The situation has drawn national attention, allegedly with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly criticizing the media's handling of the juror's privacy & offering 'asylum' in the state if the harassment in Massachusetts persists. Of course the Court is also currently focused on evaluating how the juror's background info. was obtained in the 1st place, and also whether he falsely filled out the initial vetting questionnaire pre-trial. Today, the MA Governor, Maura Healey, announced the state's Executive Office of Public Safety and Security has stepped in to ensure the juror's immediate physical safety. Further, judge handling the case requested that the U.S. Marshall Service evaluate the ongoing threats to the juror. NBC Watch the steps taken now to protect the jurors - past and future.

Speaking of MA the governor was asked why MA has about the most expensive energy in the nation. Her answer? Because of Trump.

Huh, I was wrong. Wiki - The idea for the song came from longtime Duran Duran video director Russell Mulcahy, who wanted to make a full-length feature film based on the surreal and sexual 1971 novel The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead by William S. Burroughs.

@118...Barbie.
I was reading the other day, while wasting time (I do this well) about women now having plastic surgery for "The Barbie Waist." Going a bit further than the removal of a rib bone (like some past starlets who are insane), the plastic surgeon goes in & bends the rib. I honestly don't read much if not super into it, other than here, and could have this wrong. Pain to look like this is not my idea of spending tens of thousands of dollars. The pounds I need to lose are apparently holding my face up vs some of the people I saw at the reunion (I didn't know them). All had the Karen haircut and glasses. Thank goodness no politics or pro-Clancy people. I only knew 3 women and we 4 were the most normal. I had a photo taken of me and my two friends who lived above me in a historic old house. One has a chubby face as well and looks pretty good. The California girl was tanned, rested, skinny, and my dude said she's a bit leathered. I thought she looked good. If I lost a lot of weight will my face fall like a bloodhound? Dragging my bottom eyelid down? This worries me. We are talking about 20lbs, not 200lbs as I am not as fat as Lizzo. My covid pounds have fossilized. Sad. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 14, 2026 05:25 PM (hzuYO) Posted by: Mitch McConnell explains at September 14, 2026 05:25 PM (4NO2D) 218

I do think there is a desperate but by-no-way-allowable feeling that there is something terribly wrong in the world for most of these highly socialized liberal women. The education they received accomplishes little, the promised status that turning their lives over to the liberal way of thinking had turned out to be worth little, and their depression and anxiety is being treated with meds that do little but make them feel even more empty and anxious.
The ones I brush against are terribly empty and are searching for something to fill their lives. Championing those like them that have done the horrible things they have considered might be the reason for this behavior. Posted by: Kindltot at September 14, 2026 05:32 PM (rbvCR) 244

Under MA law, Clancy could wheel free at some point unless the prosecution objects, and a judge rules she's no longer a danger. Right. No word from her dead children on their thoughts about her being free.
She manipulated her husband, family, friends and shrinks. She planned this like Ted Bundy and other serial killers. She could easily manipulate anyone. I repeat: I have seen psychosis in the hospital and she was NOT psychotic to be able to plan these murders and time frame. Evil, yes. However, she will need someone to help her with her basic needs for the rest of her life. Let's hope this someone does not let her have exercise bands.

I read yesterday that we have a lynching crisis here in America. I was shocked to learn that they were fabricating a crisis of blacks being lynched when I was under the impression that the crisis was Democrat women lynching their babies. Then, they got members of the PPKKK - Planned Parenthood Ku Klux Klan - onto the jury and tried jury nullification. When that didn't work they've moved on to juror nullification. It's a nonzero chance that we'll see a lynching by the PPKKK before all is said and done.

After the Butler assassination attempt, the left, including the vicious chaos-farmer media, downplayed Trump being shot by an assassin by pretending it was NBD to be hit in the ear with a bullet. They also invented conspiracy theories, never rebuked by Master of Conspiracies Jake Tapper, that he hadn't been hit at all and that it was either all fake or just a "harmless" ricochet. And, of course, their fellow leftwing cultists urged and prayed for more skilled assassins to "finish the job." The jihad left is following the same script today. ArkadaloA "reporter" with the egregious communist rag the Journal-Sentinel helpfully pointed out that the plane crashed into water that was "only" 30 feet deep and as you know, all men are 30 feet tall so 30 feet of water presents no threat to them at all.
And this guy wants Democrats to do what the plane crash failed to do:

We were flying out of Burke Lakefront in Cleveland a bit late at night in a Cessna twin Sky King type plane. One of the engines stalled on run-up so we taxied back to the terminal. There was literally no one around. After a bit, the decision was apparently made to just try her again, and this time no engine issues so we started down the run way with me in the back seat.

Contaminated fuel, or the wrong fuel will cause trouble. One of my tasks before every flight in the .mil was to take a fuel sample from the sump and keep it in a clear glass bottle. We'd show the pilot during pre-flight, and then keep it in a rack on the flight line in case something goes sideways, they could test the fuel closely as part of any investigation.
One time we had to get fuel in rural Cambodia, someone had set it all up beforehand. At the prescribed place and time, some locals showed up in a fuel truck and pumped us up with approx. 360 gallons of their finest. Nobody (not even me) thought to test the fuel beforehand. Doh!!

>>We were flying out of Burke Lakefront in Cleveland a bit late at night in a Cessna twin Sky King type plane. One of the engines stalled on run-up so we taxied back to the terminal. There was literally no one around. After a bit, the decision was apparently made to just try her again, and this time no engine issues so we started down the run way with me in the back seat. The pilot said to the passenger in front, "there's still time to about, but it seems to be running fine."
When I was living in the islands there was a small commuter airline that serviced the islands. The entire fleet of planes were WWII float planes. It was named Antilles Air Boats. We called it Antilles Scare Boats. They had some pretty spectacular crashes including the one that killed the president of the company. Posted by: JackStraw at September 14, 2026 04:14 PM (viF8m) 166

Posted by: Common Tater at September 14, 2026 04:35 PM (No2m Generally, in any war that could be assigned religious motivation, religion has just been the excuse for political war. The Crusades, for example, started as a way to reclaim territory in the Levant that had been part of Christianity but had been overrun by Muslims, who then mistreated the Christians. In practice, it was a way for second sons to go find glory and spoils, and eventually to become kings in the Holy Land. Yes, religion can be divisive. But in current practice, the only problems are with a "religion" that isn't really religious, but political, i.e. Islam. Once again, religion is just the excuse, not the cause.

Glaciers and those mega-floods can transport huge rocks and drop them off in odd places. They call those erratics. When you look at some of those big rocks, and realize that it was huge water flows that carried them like that, the mind begins to boggle. That Nepal disaster just gives you a little taste of what those late Pleistocene floods were like.

Posted by: Howdy at September 14, 2026 04:47 PM (KvBGr) Domestic abusers prey on the people in their own house and circle to gain a sense of power and dominance in an otherwise powerless life. They often dress it up as "for the best" or "to correct" but it is just violence against people that have no real defense or recourse. They preferentially look for easy fish, people with a history of abuse, abandonment or being exploited and isolated. People who won't fight back because abusers at the very base are cowards who fear having the shit kicked out of them by an angry mob of family or neigbbors.

MENAPT immigrant men (Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey): 238 in 2016 → 214 in 2025. Still more than double the native baseline, but down.

Could you imagine FDR bringing in millions of Japanese "undocumented workers" after Pearl Harbor? Posted by: 18-1 at September 14, 2026 02:46 PM (sKqQm) FDR (piss be upon him) was awful on a lot of things, but he understood the threat of a populace with ties to the enemy. I don't think he did the right thing with the Japanese Internment, but it was understandable. First AND Second Generation Japanese Americans represented a significant threat. Within days of Pearl Harbor, one married, second-generation Japanese couple had already murdered Americans while giving aid to our enemy. Others were working as spies and were being recruited as spies. He wasn't stupid enough to ignore that. Posted by: Formerly Virginian at September 14, 2026 02:50 PM (zjgNU) 66

The US was in a two-front world war, and full mobilization of every industry and utilization of all labor to the extent possible. Nothing before or since remotely close to that.
But a free and open society was of course extraordinarily vulnerable to sabotage. The question wasn't whether the odds were good, but the consequences. It would take a vanishingly small number of dedicated organized types to cause serious trouble in the Zone of the Interior, as America was designated. You have to take into account the political angle as well. After the Pearl Harbor debacle, any further trouble would have been an extinction level event for many in charge. In those days politics, local, state, federal, was very much still responsive to the will of the electorate. Posted by: Common Tater at September 14, 2026 02:56 PM (No2m8) 100

What is wrong with MA???
Fox News @FoxNews A Massachusetts family says the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy, citing their Catholic faith. The parents allege a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without their knowledge, then reported them to the Department of Children and Families. Now the state has guardianship, and a restraining order prevents the teen's parents and older brother from contacting her. A judge has temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone as the family fights the case.

(I'm reminded of the Dalrymple story where he warned a young female patient that dating violent men (like her mother did) was serious danger to her life and when she said "I can take care of myself", he explained that men are larger and stronger than women. Her response was "That's really sexist." There's a whole world of people who've had common sense trained out of them.) Posted by: Formerly Virginian at September 14, 2026 03:34 PM (zjgNU) 253

----- Now you know why Baking Powder biscuits, bannock, fry bread, pancakes etc were so very popular. I discovered during the lockdowns, when "strong" flour - Bread flour was unavailable, that AP flour is not nearly so aromatic as Bread flour. It smells great when proofing and in the oven, but it is a pale imitation of the real stuff. Smells like a Wonder Bread bakery, if you remember those. Bread flour - aged Bread flour is intoxicating and irresistable. It takes a day or two, make a poolish and let it do its thing in a really warm spot. OMG, you won't need to make Sourdough, I wouldn't think. It really makes the kitchen smell like a slice of heaven once it gets going in the oven. Browns up a little nicer, too.

I tried and failed at making sourdough bread. I still do not understand how our pioneer ancestors made this going across the plains in wagons, with giant barrels of flour and lard and no fancy tools, when it takes the modern baker measuring ingredients by the microgram on a kitchen scale.
Posted by: LizLem at September 14, 2026 03:30 PM (Eng1Z) There are some hacks you can do to make a decent rise and get the sourdough flavor. you can let your sourdough pot sit and work until it separates and goes silent, and then you pour the liquid off into your standard yeast bread dough. You can add malt - not a lot because too much makes your bread sort of gummy if you toast it. I have been told that oat malt does not make the finished bread gooey You can add sugar as you make your dough You can proof it at a higher temperature, I have put the rising bowl in a bowl of hot water. The Germans use a rye flour for their sourdough start and that seems to work well. I have used rye malt in my sponge, and let it rise overnight.

Now, she is talking about Lindsay Clancy believing this but as we've seen, there are a lot of women who believe it's a good thing to kill your children, and Alpha Karen One has already copped to voting to acquit the literal triple child killer to make things better for women. The Karens are melting down that the "Rogue Juror" was not a (spit) white man but a black one. First up is an ugly woman, who describes herself as a "non-practicing white" -- because whites, as you know, subscribe to a religion of white supremacy. They are proud of their anti-white racism and proud of their extreme, hateful tribalism. Everyone in "the tribe" is always right and good, everyone outside the tribe is an enemy to be attacked.

Tell me. If a juror, after the fact of a verdict convicting a defendant, spouted off that the conviction was essentially a political act, something not related to the evidence, I think that would allow for the defense to move for a new trial. I think. But going the other way, acquitting a defendant would not. Double jeopardy or something, I think.

And some other woman hung her child. I think she is black, though, so no mercy for her. Clancy went back to the booby hatch, right? Not quite the same thing as regular jail....

See, if people wanted to deprive malignant narcissists of their voting rights, I wouldn't object at all.
A parent (of either sex)'s job is to keep their kids alive and fed and healthy if possible and teach them to be competent adults. It doesn't matter if you think they kids would be better off dead, that's not your job. ...... Even people in the past who routinely disposed of children just took them out into the woods and left them there alive, where there was a chance of rescue by someone else, and the parents could say "They didn't die by our hand."

Massachusetts lesbian governor just held a signing ceremony in her office celebrating infanticide. Expanding the time limit to the Clancy standard, fiver years old, is no great leap.

The Left evilly excels at coining nice sounding terms for ghastly acts and behaviors that sicken normal people. Sure, ask a GenZ, or a Karen or AWFL, what filicide means. Riding a filly? Filling boxes with canned food to donate at the homeless shelter? They don't know and don't care. If a Democrat, especially a woman, says it's good, they're all-in. We're doomed.

You'd be surprised how many jury verdicts are essentially "political acts" based more on tribal affiliations than actual facts or law.
Chances of convicting a gang-banger in the ghetto? Low. You will never be able to empanel a jury without at least one juror who is very sympathetic to gangbangers -- if not one himself or herself -- and/or hates The Man prosecuting the defendant. Chances of a ghetto jury not awarding yuge damages in an accident case? Also low. It ain't their money. As far as they're concerned, they're just taking money from rich people and giving it to one of their own. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 14, 2026 01:34 PM (iFTx/) 70

She didn't kill those kids just to be free of the "burden." She killed them for profit--she had a whole future planned to make money off of her evil.

Then, her plan was to file the civil lawsuit against the pharma companies and the doctors and--echoing her defense--"no one would help her." Blaming them for what she did. And her "vision board" had her on the talk show and influencer circuit, tears of grief on command, "they made me kill my children!! The drugs they put me on made me do it--and they knew it would.

Well, according to Grok, there is only one sure fire a convicted defendant could get a new trial based on juror bias: racial bias. If a juror said, "I convicted because he's black", that would do it. Jury reasoning is otherwise pretty much "unimpeachable", and gender, political, religious, etc reasons have generally been allowed. IOW, "I voted to convict because I hate men in general" would not be enough. Such things can, but only under extraordinary circumstances. So racial bias is the only way to pierce that unimpeachability. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 14, 2026 01:44 PM (w6EFb) 129

From AI:
------------------------------ Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 268, § 13B. It makes it a crime to willfully, directly or indirectly, threaten, attempt or cause physical, emotional, or economic injury or property damage, or to “mislead, intimidate or harass” a juror, when done with the required intent or reckless disregard. The statute also applies when a person seeks to, “punish, harm or otherwise retaliate against” a juror (or certain other protected persons) because of that person's participation in the proceeding. So, for example, after a criminal trial is over, someone who contacts a former juror and threatens, intimidates, or seriously harasses that juror because of the verdict or the juror's participation in the case could potentially violate §13B. The fact that there is no longer a verdict to influence does not necessarily provide a defense because retaliation itself is prohibited.

If they lied during voir dire, they could be held in contempt, I think. That would also allow maybe for a new trial (for a conviction).

If you are despondent at the potential acquittal of Clancy, take heart.
No one escapes the final judgement. Paying your penance on earth is a mercy the Lord extends to you. Escaping the earthly consequences of your actions is a curse, you justify your own actions in your mind, you move on with life, and you continue to pile up more and more burden. But it is ever there, never resolved, never forgiven, looming over you like the sword of Damocles.

White liberal women are the biggest opps to the black community. This entire incident has only further proven my point. They white knight themselves to feel better while putting the black community down by inserting bad mentality into the community. But the moment you fall outta line with their perspective? Off to the chopping block, or I guess a noose as they've shown themselves to like. Not to add to conservative points but literally, a black man doesn't follow in the white liberal woman's perception of an incident, and suddenly they're just the Klan 2.0. Liberal YTs are not our allies. The second we don't do what they want. They attack us as viciously as the rest. Yt ppl are gonna yt everytime. This shit is so disheartening. Everything will always be about race. I wonder if this is some plot to discourage black people from being on the jury when it already seems like there is a lack of representation.

Southeast MA is an odd place. Its economically depressed as Boston loots the rest of the state outside of the immediate burbs the powerbrokers live in (to the west and north of Boston proper) and the people there are less monolithically left wing (absent gerrymandering and fraud they'd occasionally elect a northeastern style Rep) but you'd think with how badly they are abused by Boston they'd be openly opposed to the Dem part

Another interesting in-between thing that might be able to impeach juror deliberations is if a juror had specialized knowledge (think say an MD sitting on a jury in a malpractice case, which wouldn't be allowed in the first place).
If a juror lied about that during voir dire, that would trigger it for sure. But supposed that juror slipped through the cracks. If the juror used his own specialized knowledge to influence other jurors, that would likely be a problem. And say it were an acquittal, the defendant would still get off, double-jeopardy wise, but that would allow contempt and other charges to be brought against the juror.

I'm just wondering, and this depends on the jurisdiction, if these uber Karen nurses using their own specialized knowledge could break this impeachability thing and open them up to contempt. Probably be a high bar. But if they were bullying the cucks on the jury with this, that might be enough to investigate and start asking questions of the jurors. What triggers is if a juror's specialize knowledge or experience amounts to bringing in evidence or expert testimony that is not subject to cross-examination and the rules of evidence.

Racists in New England. I knew it all along. I remember the school busing in Boston. The angry white people turning the buses over, mad as hell because of forced integration. Of course the news media swept it under the rug as quick as they could. But the media set up camp in the South to report every detail of the racist kkk Southerners. The media done the same thing in Detroit, Michigan where buses were burning. Yeah, they spent a day or two there, then nothing. But camping in the South fit the narrative better for them.

Maybe it wasn't reported heavily in your area but I can assure you it was widely reported in the Boston area. Some of it was racism.

Hey Horde,
I'm taking the plunge and running for State Representative in Connecticut's 135th District (Easton, Weston, Redding). It's a longshot in deep-blue Connecticut, but I'm running anyway. Here's where 'y'all' come in. CT runs a public-financing system for state races: candidates who raise $6,700 in small contributions ($5-$340 each) from individuals qualify for a state grant to fund the general election. I need real people giving small amounts, fast. My filing deadline is coming up, and every day between now and then affects the size of the grant I qualify for. The part that matters to you: only 150 of those donations need to come from inside my district. The rest can come from anywhere, including here. A $25 gift from a Horde member in Texas counts exactly the same toward my threshold as one from my neighbor. If you'd back a candidate trying to keep CT from becoming CA, I'd be grateful: https://tinyurl.com/2dr6tp2e Thanks for reading, and thanks to CBD giving me a shot at the sidebar. I'll put this up again in a later comment - just in case I get willowed. Posted by: Darrell Harris at September 14, 2026 02:21 PM (0CU3H) 337
I saw his name somewhere yesterday.....so it's out there.
Andrew @ Don’t Walk, RUN! @DontWalkRUN · 15h UPDATE: Sadly, I was right. The holdout juror was doxxed yesterday by several users on X. All because @NBC10Boston showed a graphic with the following info: • The juror's DOB • The original charge (265/13M/B-0 A&B ON FAMILY / HOUSEHOLD MEMBER c265 §13M(a)) • The date of the arrest • The date of the arraignment • The location of the court In fact, I was easily able to do a search on http://masscourts.org, enter the details, and put two and two together to figure out what his name is (which I will not be providing here.) But the fact remains: there is no way that I — or anyone else — would have been able to track down his info without the details that NBC Boston provided. I hope he gets a lawyer and sues the hell out of them. Posted by: beckster at September 14, 2026 02:21 PM (kX27y) 338

I have some Hispanic cousins. They have a daughter that received a scholarship to go to college in Vermont. They drover her back there. They told me a story about when they walked into a VT restaurant full of white people. As soon as they walked in the whole place went silent and everyone just stared at them.

My folks did. Back in the 60's they traveled in Texas to meet a family friend, and stopped off at a place to get some food. The sign outside the restaurant said "No Dogs, N*****s or Mexicans Allowed"...they needed to eat, so Dad got the food to go. Vermont, NH and Maine are all over 90% white.

Some of it was racism. Some of it was parents objecting to having their kids bussed to schools far away that they didn't want their kids to attend. And it wasn't just whites. Lot of black parents didn't like the idea either.

That is fair, I agree. Men who screw up are very much more likely to be punished and when punished punished more. If we were more willing to do so with women, then perhaps there might be less of this kind of crazy. But should we punish women like we do men? Is there not a societal need to protect women at least somewhat from the consequences of their own actions? And if so, does that not mean maybe women should be prevented from the same level of responsibility and difficulty as men? That's how the balance used to work, a recognition that women must be protected and are innately less rational (on average) than men (on average) and more likely to be hormonally unstable? Is that unreasonable? Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 14, 2026 02:33 PM (K32Fz) 394

I can see that. I feel similarly to the claim that Boston is sort of racist hell. I lived and worked in the city for decades and I don't even recognize the city some have in the imagination.
I think both are about the past more than the present. I mean Boston had clubs that excluded Jews and blacks into the 80s. The south literally did have people actually lynch black people for being uppity. Did that represent even a large minority of the people there? Nah. But it was real in a way it was not in, say, Arizona. I live in Oregon which has an outrageously racist past. The Klan was huge here. Our population of black people in my home town of 40k when I was i high school had five black people. I knew both of the black kids. That's how effective the state's policies and antics against blacks coming to the state were. Its not like that any more but I can easily see how people would associate Oregon with bigotry.

I cannot help but note that all of the angst in Lindsay Clancy trial outcome is against the Karens on the jury.
But how did they get there in the first place? Jury selection! Judge William Sullivan, prosecution attorneys Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington did a very poor job of vetting jurors for the case. I can understand the defense attorney selecting Karens, but the prosecutors were either inexperienced, stupid, or complicit in an acquittal outcome. Judge William Sullivan did not properly direct the jury as to what their limitations were in the decision process. Those jurors thought that their job was to empower white women (undefinable to the left) in making their own decisions regardless of loss of life. This should be a case study in all law schools as to how not to conduct a trial. Judge William Sullivan is not worthy of 'The Bench'! Posted by: John at September 14, 2026 02:48 PM (9NUKl) 410

Mullen appeared to be alluding to potential immigration documents being falsified, which would be a deportable offense. That plan could face difficulty given Omar became a naturalized US citizen in 2000, when she was 17.

A DNA match turns a rumor into a laboratory result. If Minnesota investigators have tied Ahmed Nur Said Elmi to Ilhan Omar as a sibling, the marriage license on the table stops being a curiosity. It becomes the document that was used to invent a spouse and walk him through a gate that siblings do not get to use that way.
Immigration marriage is a sworn statement. Sworn statements that hide a blood relationship are the definition of material fraud. Material fraud is how status is stolen. Stolen status is how a House career gets built on a form that would sink a nobody in a field office. The next step is not a panel on cable. It is a case file: the license, the genetic report, the applications, the dates. If those pages line up, the statute already knows what to do. Charge the lie. Let a court decide whether the oath was real. Membership in Congress is not a mutation that makes DNA optional. Posted by: rickb223 at September 14, 2026 12:22 PM (AXBJa) 44

Hello! How are you all? Did you have a relaxing weekend? I did, actually. The shoulder was semi-okay over the weekend. Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 12:17 PM We had a showing of our house Saturday morning. Only 2 showed up, which was disappointing. We have 2 offers, but one is too low and the other is close, but we'd like to see a little higher numbers. Spent that afternoon in the ER with the First Lady whom actually passed her kidney stone causing her all the pain while we were there, so it was a short visit. Yesterday was rest...........didn't even drink anything but water. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 14, 2026 12:23 PM (X0axn) 53

ACE! your shoulder! DMSO (use a rollon version already cut with aloe, so like 10 percent DMSO in the nice aloe lotion). do it as many times a day as you remember over the painful area. also once it's better you need to lift in a targeted way. shoulders are fixable! exercise works once it is healed enough (and DMSO moves that along) Posted by: Black Orchid (j+aD2) at September 14, 2026 12:24 PM (j+aD2) 54

But come on with this bullshit. If DHS has something, then charge this filthy pig and be done with it. Even if the case ain't that strong, charge her and let the process be the punishment. They would do that to us in a heartbeat. But the endless grandstanding and "we're looking into it" leaks and drops is boring and counterproductive. It only serves to get our side's hopes up.

It's also worth noting that the Somalian unrest she claimed to be fleeing was caused by her family being in charge. So she could genuinely be in danger if returned, which makes returning her even funnier. Posted by: Ian S. at September 14, 2026 12:29 PM (2ocoG) 103

Trump should cut all the legal and political crap off ASAP. Give her a pardon for this one. Then Trump and every Republican politician can remind everyone, when needed, that BroFo is only in the US because Trump showed mercy to her.

She is too dirty to hug and too corrupt to enable, but neither Congress, not the Supremes, or even the MFM, no one wants to touch it. However, as an election period issue it is a winner because it is almost a sure way to get points and wonderful example of two elements of agitprop and street theater 1) Design your action so that your target is forced to make a decision, and all their available options play to you advantage 2)When taking on a big and well-known target, it is often the target's reaction to your action that is the key to success.

He can say that it's not political but everyone knows that it is.

LoL if this happened it would be easy to prove and she would be in jail under the Trump Administration. They're dying to prosecute Democrats for crimes, even ones they haven't committed.
No official court records, DNA evidence, or documented proof have ever established Ilhan Omar married her brother. It's all racist BS. While this accusation is almost for sure politically motivated nonsense; this is actually a thing that happens. Somali immigrants have illegally lied and married relatives to gain them citizenship in the US. It’s not incestuous, just a manipulation of the system. It’s not incest, I doubt they consummated it. It was just immigration fraud. I heard you married your mother. Did you? Idk what to believe. Why does Reddit seem to have so many stupid questions today??? Why is my algo so bad today? There's more evidence that she did it compared to Trump being a pedophile. Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 14, 2026 12:39 PM (t19vo) 176

Living death with perhaps just a tiny glimmer of sanity now and again before darkness descends again. Epstein dead whether by his own hands or not. The list goes on.

Almost nothing ever happens to someone in power no matter what party they are, but even more rarely to a Democrat, and even more rarely to a woman, and even more rarely to a black woman Democrat. To the point of being nearly impossible, and never in my memory. And black women Democrats seem to understand this because they are so openly, blatantly, and gleefully corrupt and lawbreaking right in our faces.

Posted by: polynikes at September 14, 2026 12:27 PM (KC5Lt) I think that legislators and judges should all have to be natural-born citizens too, just like POTUS. Heck, call it elected and Senate-confirmed offices, so it includes Cabinet members. The naturalized citizens can be happy with having a vote. We have seen over and over how immigrants do not really grok American culture and social norms, attempting to impose those from the shithole that they fled like it's just common sense. Even 2nd-gen immigrants can be very sketchy on basic Bill of Rights matters where they should really know better, but it wouldn't be practical to restrict offices that far.

Posted by: Stateless ====== Normal for VP to show the flag and raise money (and collect allies for a possible presidential run) by appearing as a surrogate for legislative races. Not like they have much else to do other than attend foreign funerals. Task force on fraud is running with professionals while he is mainly the figurehead that gets to take credit. They just announced last week barring 800k individuals from any new government loans and are in the process of trying to claw back 39 billion that was apparently fraud from these people. Zeldin at EPA got back billions too and that was announced last week.

Supposedly, DiGenova was brought in to help organize the various investigations but they are all under the same umbrella. Brennan is being subpoenaed by a Florida grand jury. Posted by: JackStraw I beg to differ as I have never seen news that DiGenova was targeting Omar. Omar had little to do with Russia Russia and it could be that DiGenova was trying to expand the scope, he was complaining about needing a lot more resources and I think Main Justice told him to shut it and produce first before getting more. Omar's problems were always centered on whatever DHS could dig up on immigration and whatever other agencies could dig up on links to financial fraud. One could say that the Democrat party is a criminal conspiracy against the entire Constitution but you have to make specific cases of either pleas or convictions where you can before expanding a scope of investigation.

And she’s since changed her age to one year to claim she was 17, a minor when she emigrated. Every thing she does is fraud, every claim is a lie. Don’t allow reasonable explanations by looking at each lie/fraud individually. Look at the trend: she is a fraud machine. Posted by: Lizzy at September 14, 2026 01:22 PM (4KUe5) 328

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 14, 2026 03:42 PM (hzuYO) THE MORNING RANT: In Defiance of the Climate Cult’s Apocalyptic Prophecies, there Have Been Zero Hurricanes in the Atlantic so far this Year![]() Hurricane season will reach its approximate peak on Friday — but this year, not a single hurricane has yet formed in the Atlantic Ocean, setting a new record for a lack of storms. This is the latest into the Atlantic season without a hurricane forming since weather satellites were first launched in the 1960s.Climate cultists and their propaganda arm in the legacy media have been prophesying “stronger and more frequent” hurricanes for decades now. This is part of their “global warming” scare campaign, for which their solution is banning carbon fuels and imposing command and control over all economic activity. In other words, only communism will please their angry climate God. An important facet of the climate hoax has been to report any “above normal” weather of any sort as proof of climate change. This is an example of statistical and numerical ignorance, of course, because “normal” is being used as a synonym for median or average, but by definition 50% of all inputs are necessarily above the median. Back in 2020 and 2021, there was above average tropical storm development in the Atlantic. The scientifically ignorant media, relying on the scientifically dishonest “climate experts,” matter-of-factly reported that increase in tropical activity as being due to a warming planet: “How Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Have Hit U.S. Shores with unparalleled Frequency; A record 18 storms and hurricanes have made landfall in the past two years” Unrelenting and unprecedented, back-to-back Atlantic hurricane seasons have punished the Gulf and East coasts of the United States. An unsurpassed 49 named storms have formed over the warming Atlantic waters since the start of the 2020 season, with a record-setting 18 striking the Lower 48 states, including seven hurricanes. Scientists say this record-setting stretch of storminess is connected to a period of heightened hurricane activity that began in 2017 but may become increasingly common as the planet warms.A warming planet had nothing to do with the record number of storms in 2020 and 2021. There were two main reasons: 1) Aggressive naming of storms: In decades past, to be classified as a “tropical storm” there had to be a circular rotation and sustained winds of at least 39 mph. Nowadays, to pump up the number of storms, pretty much any offshore thunderstorm that registers a 39 mph gust gets classified as a tropical storm. In addition, until satellites were employed in the mid-1960s, storms in the mid-Atlantic were not named at all. 2) La Nina: 2020 and 2021 were years with La Ninas in the eastern Pacific Ocean. La Ninas are periods when cool water rises to the surface of the equatorial Pacific (due to strong trade winds pushing the surface water westward.) This predictably results in more Atlantic hurricanes due to how it lessens wind shear over the Atlantic. By contrast, there is a strong El Nino right now. The westerly trade winds have lessened, as is their cyclical norm, and warm water is pooling in the eastern Pacific. This has the effect of increasing wind shear in the Atlantic, suppressing hurricane development. There is also a lot of dry, dusty air moving west from the Sahara Desert into the Atlantic, also helping to suppress tropical activity. The real-world reality is that there is neither man-made global warming nor global cooling. It is sinister how weather has been politicized by the left to try to deny people freedom and economic liberty. But since the beginning of time, it has been the practice of high priests and political leaders to blame bad weather on the “sinful” behavior of ordinary citizens as a means of increasing the leaders’ power and control. The climate community has made the case that hurricanes are fueled by carbon usage, and that the only trajectory would be stronger and more frequent hurricanes unless fossil fuels are banned. This year’s lack of hurricanes disproves their crackpot theory. The climate community – and their pagan religion – deserve abundant mockery in this year without a hurricane.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 14, 2026 10:40 AM (wzUl9) Nautical Lesson Approaching. Give way. If the wind is first coming over the port side of the boat, it is on port tack. When sailing straight down wind, whichever side the boom is not on is considered the side over which the wind is coming. Thus, one could change tack without changing direction, merely by bringing the boom and sail across to the other side - technically a jibe, since the bow is not passing through the direction of the wind.

*** Buck, by that you mean *tropical* storms, not including hurricanes? They started naming hurricanes much earlier than 1965. I remember my mother putting a big sheet of wood over our dining room window when I was in second grade, 1961, for Carla. And Betsy hit us in '65, and it was certainly not new for hurricanes to be named by then. Wiki sez they were naming tropical storms (most of which became hurricanes) in the Fifties, though.

To be honest, no hurricane formation concerns me. It's far from the norm which means something else is happening. Hopefully whatever it is doesn't cause other problems.
Something abnormal in one area is typically balanced by that thing going the other way somewhere else. There are no Atlantic hurricanes this year, but it's been a big year for the Pacific.

Aggressive naming of storms: In decades past, to be classified as a “tropical storm” there had to be a circular rotation and sustained winds of at least 39 mph. Nowadays, to pump up the number of storms, pretty much any offshore thunderstorm that registers a 39 mph gust gets classified as a tropical storm. In addition, until satellites were employed in the mid-1960s, storms in the mid-Atlantic were not named at all.

Chance of rain doesn’t say it will rain or not rain. It says in the past when these conditions existed it rained 20% of the time or 80% of the time or whatever.
People however see 80% and think oh it’s going to pour all day long. Or 20% they see it as it won’t rain or it may just rain a little. When in fact an 80% day could be bright sunshine and a 20% day could be an inch of rain. The percentage doesn’t say how much rain, just the percent of time it has rained in the past. Could be a sprinkle could be deluge. It counts the same. When something has an 80% chance of happing it does NOT happen 1/5 times. But people in general are really bad at conceptualizing that.

Bunch of asswipe media sites including the WSJ and apparently now NYC are suing the administration over their enforcement of the “public charge” rule, which they’ve updated to comply with the statute. It basically states that if any immigrant is likely to or does use any public benefits they can be denied visas and green cards. This is simply enforcement of INA 212(a)(4), that Congress passed.

Also, the threshold for precipitation is 0.01" rain or liquid equivalent for solid. So, a 80% change of rain means that for any spot in the forecast area, there is an 80% chance that spot will get 0.01" of rain or equivalent over the forecast period. That does not mean a lot of rain. Just means you've got a high probability of getting some measurable amount. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 14, 2026 11:56 AM (w6EFb) 220

>> but I always paid attention to the temperature and the humidity percentage. A bad combo can be dangerous.
Wet bulb temperature is the measure of that related to a human's evaporative cooling capacity. WB of 95F is taken as the upper limit. Wet bulb is sort of tedious, so dew point, always being below WB, is a good-enough proxy. They've done tests with healthy young individuals, and the limit is likely somewhat lower than that, maybe 88F -- meaning even the optimum healthy young 'un can stand much more than that indefinitely. Now, for us 29 yr olds, the limit is lower than that. Dew point hit 82F here twice this August, and well, I wasn't going to stay out in that.

It’s only when moved out west and experienced dry air that I realized how shiity that weather is. I acclimated quickly. Now even a little humidity like a dew point of 55 and I’m sweating.

I remember my mother putting a big sheet of wood over our dining room window when I was in second grade, 1961, for Carla. And Betsy hit us in '65, and it was certainly not new for hurricanes to be named by then.
Wiki sez they were naming tropical storms (most of which became hurricanes) in the Fifties, though.

I grew up in the desert. June would often have the highest temps (sometimes above 120ºF), but very low RH..
.July and August were lower temp (below 110ºF), but RH could be 90%+, so was f'n miserable...you'd go outside and immediately your shirt would stick to your chest...

After Katrina: climate change is causing more dangerous storms, which is bad.
After years of no other big storms hitting the US: Climate change is causing fewer big storms, which is just as bad. Looking at big hurricanes hitting North Carolina from 1850 on, breaking it into 10 year chunks, I didn't see significant differences between the decades.

Although there were Atlantic hurricanes last year, none of them made US landfall. Zero. Nada.
It would be preposterous, of course, to use this year’s hurricane season as proof of global cooling Actually, it kinda is. Climate does change - it gets warmer, it gets colder. I surmise that hurricane activity can be a gross, indirect measurement of atmospheric energy, which is a driver of temperatures. But to insist that the climate should be identical year-to-year-to-year-to-year in the same place.....well, now THAT'S real climate-denial.

He went to the rooftop where the 'real' party was and he saw someone that just presented as pure evil......he felt he was in the presence of Satan and saw evil personified...........

Well, Hopper captures the viewer with his realistic people and their natural poses. Add the recognizable and relatable settings. But it's his use of light that makes his work so extraordinary. It sets a mood and evokes an emotional response from the audience. In this case it is the complete joy of nature: brilliant sea and matching sky, the light captured by the white hull and sail. The people are relaxed. You can smell the ocean, hear the light wind and the sounds of the day sailer, feel the warmth of the sun. But it isn't static. The soft swells affecting the boat and the forward movement denoted by the sail keep it from being completely still. Growing up on the ocean, this painting brings back wonderful memories.

Saw "Hope"(2026) yesterday. It's a Korean horror/SF movie that was popular in Korea earlier this year made by Na Hong-jin, the same guy who wrote/directed "The Chaser" and "The Wailing". Both of which are pretty great. Eh, "Hope" wasn't particularly good. It could easily lose 30-40 minutes and be much better, but still not very good. The plot concerns some hunters and police in a small seaside Korean village trying to stop/hunt down Alien Folk who are killing people. Basically, the movie comes to no end and is borderline nonsense at the conclusion. This clearly an unfinished story and part 2 if greenly will tell the aliens side of the story. The humans are often depicted a as dickweeds so, you can probably figure out where that's going. Not worth seeing on the big screen. See it online when it starts streaming if you wish, but- Meh. Very meh. You have been warned. Posted by: naturalfake at September 14, 2026 10:27 AM (iJfKG) 222

Sorta funny story- Past supervisor where I used to work was a notorious drunk. Took one of our boats out one night for dubious purposes, and was found the next morning clinging to a channel buoy.

The Reverend Talarico sermonizes.
Team Talarico@TeamTalaricoHQ@JamesTalarico : Scripture tells us that you can’t love God and hate other people. You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant. You can’t love God and oppress the poor. Matthew 25 tells us Christians exactly how we’re going to be judged — by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger. I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate. I think he would tell the senators on the floor, ‘Depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family.’ And then I think he would flip over those fancy desks on the floor of the US Senate and demand that we take care of all of our neighbors — especially the least of these. - Blessed is Big Government for it is the end all and be all of everything.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 14, 2026 10:40 AM (wzUl9) Nautical Lesson Approaching. Give way. If the wind is first coming over the port side of the boat, it is on port tack. When sailing straight down wind, whichever side the boom is not on is considered the side over which the wind is coming. Thus, one could change tack without changing direction, merely by bringing the boom and sail across to the other side - technically a jibe, since the bow is not passing through the direction of the wind. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Posted by: RI Red at September 14, 2026 10:59 AM (Edxq2) 278
