Joke's on you! Woman Files Complaint Against Husband Because He Concealed the Fact That He Was Bald
Lavika Gupta, a resident of Gaur City Avenue-1, in central Noida, recently filed a police complaint against her husband and four in-laws, alleging that she was deceived when she agreed to marry her spouse in 2024. Among her accusations, the woman claims that she was promised a man with lush, healthy hair, but married a bald man wearing a wig. According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed at Bisrakh police station, Lavika Gupta and Sanyam Jain were married on January 16, 2024. The wife claims that she was deceived at the time, with Jain and his family concealing various details about his physical appearance, education, and financial status. *** Gupta added that when she agreed to marry Sanyam, she was promised a man with “thick hair”, but she later learned that her spouse was bald and wearing a patch to conceal his lack of hair.Must have been a really good hairpiece! ----- Guys can always use more tools, right? I'm not really sure what the purpose of these are, though. Need someone to mansplain, please! "Vampliers" are an engineering marvel that every homeowner needs
Vampliers come from the company Vampire Tools, a Japanese manufacturer that uses premium high-carbon steel for its professional-grade tools. It has an entire lineup of Vampliers, which refer to specifically designed pliers that can get you out of difficult situations. Suppose you are using your electric screwdriver to screw in a long screw to hold up some curtains. As you're pressing it into the wall, your driver slips and strips the head of the screw. You try to put your screwdriver back into the head of the screw, but it can't catch any of the edges, and it won't turn the screw anymore. What are you supposed to do? I've been in situations like this before, and the goal is to get some kind of traction on that screw so it turns. A good set of pliers can feel like a forgotten tool, but even ones that you normally have may not work with their design. At that point, you either want to just get the screw out of the wall, so you can replace it. I've tried different methods, like putting a rubber band onto the top of the screw and adding my screwdriver against that in hopes that the rubber would conform to the top of the screw and allow me to turn it. With Vampliers, they are engineered with a patented design that has serrations not only vertically down the tip of the pliers but also horizontally. This gives you a greater chance of being able to grab the side of the screw head, rather than having to deal with the stripped head. You can latch onto the side from a downward angle or from a side angle, allowing you to potentially spin the screw and get it to come out.Help me out, fellas. Are these really must-haves?? ----- OK, ladies - can you understand this?
-----
No cognitive dissonance here, right?

You're a good man.
But I've got to one-up you here.
Night 2 of my cross-country move, we stayed at this real dump of an interstate motel in Forrest, AR. Not scary or anything, but not a place you look forward to staying in.
Me, my wife, my brother, a cat & 3 kids in 2 dingy little rooms.
I get out the travel letterbox that she adamantly refused to use at several stops, and release Luna. She bolts out smeared in crap from tail to whiskers, and proceeds to run all over the motel room.
All. OVER.
That was a real pleasant evening, cleaning that dump from stem to stern so I didn't get beat up for the damage.

The economy is actually something that can be affected by perception. The economy is all about perception of the calculation of gain.
Which is how we got into the Carter recession. The government had actually taken to a policy of early intervention when it's indicators suggested that there would be a dip in the economy.
But private observers started using the government actions as a sign that an economic dip was coming and furlough employees and cut back on investment.
It definitely became a self-fulfilling cycle. And then artificial actions in the interest market would not let the interest rates come down to compensate.
So we had stagflation.

I think I know why I hate opera and love ballet, now that i think about it. Ballets are often narrative, but don't have lyrics. The ballet dancers are pure athletes. In combination with professional musicians of high caliber, in a beautiful setting, it's purely sensuous. Just sight and sound in motion together. The lyrics fuck everything up. They're activating the part of my brain I'm trying to turn off for just a little while.

Most of the people bad mouthing him only see clips, and clips chosen for them by other people. And no one asks why they got those clips, instead the decide to go into that "seeded zeitgeist"
no one considers that a confusing narrative has been arranged for getting a lot of people to believe something highly actionable that is mostly untrue, and then it has to be sparked, so everyone starts saying the same things.
It is better to be angry about what you understand and have seen, not what has been shown you by people who may have goals far different than what they are claiming.
"Hate Tucker" could very well be a pretext for "control Vance" or even "Make sure John Huntsman is the candidate so we don't have to worry about Vance doing what he says he will do"
Personally I would take listening to Tucker yammer on if the chance was Vance as Pres for 8 more years.

This is why the folks saying "One Night In Bangkok" is about chess, and the ones saying it's about freaky sex, are both correct.
It's literally a monologue from the guy who's there for the chess tournament, explaining to the degenerates that he is there for the chess, and not the freaky sex.
I don't see you guys rating the kind of 'mate' I'm contemplating.

We all rag on the goat-schtuppers for being inbred, but the Amish are having their own genetic problems. Unlike the deliberate cousin marriage shit practiced in the Muslim cultures for economic reasons, the Plain folks (Mennonites, etc) recognize the peril, but are in this position because of community size. They try to arrange marriages from other, physically distant Amish communities, but, even so, they have a very large number of recessive diseases.

Trump Says He'll End All Federal Payments to Sanctuary Cities
He also said he'd denaturalize foreign-born criminals. Trump is also calling for Kash Patel to fire all of the seditious FBI agents involved in the "Arctic Frost" prosecutions of Republicans for the crime of opposing the Democrat Party.
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during a speech in Detroit that his administration will cease federal payments to sanctuary cities and states starting next month amid pushback over his immigration policies. ... Trump made the declaration during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also claimed that the United States is at the beginning of an economic boom under his administration. "Starting Feb. 1, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," Trump said. "And it breeds fraud and crime and all the other problems that come. So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary."
President Trump is publicly demanding a housecleaning at the FBI, calling on Director Kash Patel to remove agents after reacting to a Just the News report detailing how a former senior bureau official helped push the Arctic Frost investigation targeting Trump, Republican organizations, and elected conservatives. In a Truth Social post responding to the article, Trump accused FBI personnel involved in the probe of abusing their authority and urged Patel to act immediately, framing the episode as another example of federal law enforcement being turned against political opponents under prior Democrat leadership. The Just the News report summarizes congressional materials and internal FBI communications related to Arctic Frost, an inquiry that began as a January 6--related investigation but later expanded well beyond the Capitol riot. According to the documents, the probe ultimately placed Trump himself -- along with major conservative groups and GOP officeholders -- under scrutiny, even as agents acknowledged internally that there was no direct evidence tying Trump to criminal conduct. Records released by Chuck Grassley identify then--FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault as a key figure in driving that expansion. Internal emails show Thibault circulating left-leaning media articles, opinion pieces, and podcasts to colleagues as justification for escalating the probe, while privately conceding the evidentiary basis involving Trump was weak. ... Emails reviewed by lawmakers show Thibault pressing colleagues to include "DJT" in Arctic Frost's launch paperwork and encouraging the use of open-source material and human intelligence to justify the probe after the fact. ... The scope of Arctic Frost extended beyond Trump. Congressional materials cited in the reporting show the probe widened to include major conservative institutions, including the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk. Patel has since confirmed that his internal review uncovered extensive surveillance and data collection involving elected officials -- eight Republican senators and one congressman -- with records stored in a restricted FBI cyber vault requiring top-level authorization. Patel testified that he located the materials, terminated agents involved, and dismantled CR-15, the Washington Field Office's public corruption unit, which he described as the center of politically motivated misconduct within the bureau.

Unless and until SCOTUS throws a hard smack down on these imperial judges nothing is going to change.
Trump will do something and immediately he will be sued by a liberal and another liberal judge will slap an injunction on him and it will work it's way to SCOTUS where Trump will usually win. It's tiresome and a very good tactic for the left.

There was a miniscandal a few years ago when it came out most non-profits spend the majority of their budgets on their staff and benefits. It led to some half hearted attempts to make it obvious how much money their were actually using for whatever their supposed reason to be was...

bongino found out that you can't just walk into a job in DC and fire whoever you want to and get rid of the problem employees as quick as he thought he could. In other words, the DC deep state and civil service protection laws prevented him from doing what he wanted to accomplish as deputy director. Instead of bashing his head against the wall for 3 years he quit.
On one of his last radio shows he hinted that might be the outcome after he took the job and actually got to work in DC.

We boarded that false-flagged "Russian" Venezuelan tanker bound from Iran, over strenuous, borderline-belligerent objections from Putin. Now, there's no particular reason he'd need or even want VZ oil, especially at this juncture, so internet sleuths have been surmising that this tanker might actually have been carrying the leftover materiele from Iran's badly damaged nuclear program.
I don't buy this, because I can't see a compelling motive on either end of that putative transaction. But I could easily see it being an arms shipment of *some* kind - perhaps Iranian drones, would be pretty useful to Russia at this time.
The Russians have an in-house expert on this exact type of operation who recently came in from the cold.
So... what if it turned out that it was in fact an arms shipment of some kind, and that it was a Viktor Bout Production?
What if Biden traded the Merchant of Death for a doped-up rugmunching hermaphrodite ladyballer, and the motherfucker immediately started fencing Iranian weapons to enemies of the US?

Marx's History could have been true. However, the doctrine demands investment into the idea to "make it true". Mankind has been the subject to all kinds of delusions. Marxism is just one.
But it has set the idea of what life "should be". (Despite Hume having seriously destabilized the idea of "should".)

Bullshit like this should be grounds for, not just a ban from holding political office, but revocation of citizenship and deportation to whatever country (if there even is one) where "Kwame" is a thing.
This isn't a racial thing, by the way.
The same goes for names like "Timothée" Chalamet. Dude, you can either change your name to Timothy or you can move to motherfucking France.
Same goes for names like "Tiffaneee" or "Lexxus". If you're going to do that, you might as well save time and just turn the baby over to the porn industry to raise.
Some of the European countries require that you choose your baby's name from an authorized list. I was never a fan of that, but after seeing some of the retarded nonsense people name their kids, I begin to see the appeal.

No. I don' t think it would have made sense for him to do so.
He was only on as a guest on Vince's show for a short segment. He did say that there are an incredible number of people working their butts off and making tremendous progress. Said Kash is great and that they walked into a maelstrom--things were much worse than they even imagined.

Justice D-EI Babbles Incoherently and Proves the Danger of Socially Promoting Retards for Racial Beancounting Purposes
Sorry for the low-effort blogging. I am bushed today.
Justice D-EI, the least qualified judge (nevermind "justice") in the history of America, continues trying, and failing, to "understand" lawyers' arguments.Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 2h
🚨 BREAKING: Attorney EXPERTLY PUMMELS SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson's argument in favor of men in women's sports in the name of "transgender rights" JACKSON: "But they are being prevented from playing on the team that matches their gender identity, correct?!" ATTORNEY: "That's the effect...so let me use your example from earlier. You said there's a cisgender woman, she can play on the team she wants." "There's a boy who identifies as a girl, he can't play on the team he wants." "Take that same boy and switch his gender identity, but say he still wanted to play on the girls' team. Say he was a very unathletic boy. He likewise COULD NOT play on the team." "So it's NOT the gender identity that's keeping him off the girls' team, it's his biological s*x. His gender identity is wholly irrelevant to it."

Alito asks a good question -- how can you claim sex discrimination when you claim there is no real thing called "sex" to discriminate on the basis of?

The Bee addresses Justice D-EI's profound learning disability.
"Given that half the states are allowing it, allowing transgender girls and women to participate, about half are not, why would we at this point, just the role of this court, jump in and try to constitutionalize a rule for the whole country while there's still, as you say, uncertainty and debate?" Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked. The court has six justices who are considered conservative leaning and three considered liberal leaning. Kavanaugh, a President Trump nominee, coached a girls' basketball team at his daughters' school for years. On Tuesday, he called the rise of female athletics "inspiring" and questioned whether striking down the bans would eliminate decades of progress. "There's a harm there, and I think we can't sweep that aside," he said. Justice Samuel Alito noted that female athletes across the country have voiced opposition to biological boys identifying as girls competing against and alongside them. "What do you say about them. Are they bigots?" Alito asked. "Are they deluded in thinking they are subjected to unfair competition?"

That is how we became so "sophisticated".
Unfortunately the sophisticated practice is to "grant arguendo" the opponents premise. And you end up using their phrases and models. And sometimes we can get wound up in their "values" and their absurdity.
Sexual equalizing is a reasonable pursuit, and can promote refinement. Sexual interchangeability is far from reasonable and just creates absurdity.

If, at any given time in your entire life, if you have never had to think about or worry about contracting prostate cancer, you are a woman.
There are many crossover cancers that both sexes have to worry about, Long, breast, blood, brain, but there are a few that do not cross over no matter how much you want to think it does. Endometrial, ovarian, and prostate cancer do not crossover.

If the Democrats get the Senate and White House, their going to unload a truckful of ideological morons onto the Supreme Court.

What in the everloving fuck was going on with Margot Honecker's (Die Lila Hexe) crazy purple hair? I've never heard anyone explain *why* she did that, just *that* she did.
I'm going with this: Margot Honecker was the ur-Karen. A pushy, frigid Marxist virago with danger hair who relentlessly tormented everyone around her.
She's the template for the affluent white American female. Other spiritual defectives at American universities looked at the glorious heights of unrestrained bitchiness she attained, and began subconsciously emulating her. The social contagion spread, and now we have a country run by millions of Margots.

Worst judge/justice? Possibly not, by a long shot. This cretin will, with luck, do little damage. The Kennedys and Roberts and many other "credentialed" disasters have continued and intensified the judiciary's decades' long assault on common sense, the constitution, and American civic values. She's a pathetic and perfect monument to the degradation of America by racist-authoritarian idiots, but if impact is considered far from the worst.

Counterpoint: while the GOP seems like a bunch of feckless squishes and many here want Trump to behave just as ruthlessly as Biden, that's actually counterproductive.
If we want to truly save society, we have to accept constraints and try to maintain the old order as best as possible, otherwise there's no place for the center to go. Total collapse.
What Trump is doing is owning the idea of order in the face of the Dems' chaos. This is what Franco did - and how even before the war was over, people were fleeing from "red" Spain into the Nationalist zone. It wasn't politics, it was law and order.
You can't have law and order by behaving like anarchists.

That's not what I wrote. I said that the old order must be sustained as much as possible. ICE is part of that order.
My point is simply that one cannot be lawless, and then claim to be upholding the law. The Dems tried it and failed spectacularly. They will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, just be being normal, the center-right gains a tremendous advantage. Frustrating, but in the long term, it is the path to victory. The left will eventually start eating its own. It's already starting. All the old Dem leaders will be pulled down, starting with Chuck Schumer.

The implication that you could still tell--in most cases--sexual differences. The question is do you accept the argument on "gender".

And why is gender identify protected but say...chronological identity is not. If I want to play in a pee wee legal and identify as a kid can I? Why not?

Agree. But they weren't saying that gender was "biological" at the time.
The thing was at one time "sex" became an impolite word, as it was the shortened form of "sexual intercourse" so prigs started to use the linguistic difference called "gender". It was never about biology, but the way that in language we capture a difference made by sex.
"Neuter" is a *gender* in language. There is no neuter sex. But it refers to language constructions that do not refer to a sex as metaphor.
Gender only referred to language. But the way that languages casted sexual character was chosen as a oblique reference to the first definition of the word "sex".
So in that sense, "gender" really seemed to indicate the collection of impressions of the difference of sex.

But if gender stereotypes are something to be countered, then why change your junk was still a sharp question.
T-advocates have never been able to answer the sensible questions, so they cut right to the "bigotry" of not adopting their viewpoint.
Also if it takes centuries for a society to create a "gender stereotype", how to you have one of your own, instantly? If gender is "socially constructed" how do you say your conceits are the "same thing"?
"Social constructs" are at least put through some tests of fire, arguably. Perhaps they were too limiting to women, but that doesn't make it so its the same thing as a personal notion.
Now it's a clusterfuck where they simply demand obedience to a jumbled doctrine to "show you're nice".

If "transgender" is anything, it is a mental disorder. "Transgender" is not a description of "someone of one sex who has transitioned to the opposite sex", but rather "someone with a mental disorder who believes they are the opposite sex".
So all this discussion is about allowing mentally disordered men and women play in sports, when the discussion should be about addressing the mental disorder.

YouGov just released a poll that says that 45% of the American public supports abolishing ICE and 43% opposes it.
This poll will be used as justification to ignore this advice.

She was receiving conflicting instructions, with an officer telling her to get out of the car and others telling her to drive.
See that?
She didn't know who to listen to (the officer with a gun or her wife with a cell phone? lol) everyone was yelling at her, it's not her fault, she's a woman, she emotional, and easily confused.
But, this lie serves another purpose:
They are trying to shoehorn her case in to other caselaw, that a person receiving conflicting instruction--from multiple officers, mind you--negates the reasonableness of lethal force.

There is another video from Mnpls that shows some haggard troll woman harassing an ICE officer in a vehicle and trying to beat on his window and hood. She had a bullhorn in her hand yelling at everyone around her. ICE guy stopped at the intersection, rolled down the window and when Karen dumbass approached again, sprayed her full in the face with pepper spray. She staggered back, fell, and dropped the bullhorn. No one helped her back up. ICE man moved on.

On an icy Friday morning, Mahad Omar watched armed federal agents run down the street and tackle one of his neighbors to the ground. They handcuffed the man and put him inside a black-tinted S.U.V. Mr. Omar, 28, an Uber driver, immigrated to Minneapolis from Somalia two decades ago. He had never imagined seeing something like that in his community.

That makes perfect sense.
Tell these boxmunching NPC women that ICE only uses rubber bullets on them because they only hunt brown people for sport.
Embolden the NPCs, and ensure that one eventually gets killed. The profit politically from the blood of your credulous peons, and perhaps get a nice riot out of the bargain.
I bet you're completely correct... it would explain her completely inexplicable that cops have actual bullets in the guns. She probably earnestly believed they had orders to use rubber bullets.

There was a video I saw last night of an extremely obese woman harassing ICE. It was scary since you fear she could easily fall and never be able to get up again.
I wondered about the people around her egging her on -- do they not even consider the risk she is putting on herself? Or maybe that is considered an asset if she stroked out and became a martyr.

I used to love that show, including how over the top it was on that very level. At one point the team is evading a helicopter; they manage to get the helicopter to crash into the side of a mountain. The helicopter spirals down to the ground and crashes. And the camera makes sure to show the people inside getting out.
In my memory it also explodes on the way down, but that’s probably not true. It should have been, though.

OK, point taken.
You are right that I mean *some* women.
But I am talking about something deeper -- women have an innate protection mode, but they also have a no-limits attack mode.
What I am trying to say (and I admit I said it poorly) is that men will back down and women won't. Men will weigh costs and decide it is not worth it, and those costs include damage to their kids or family.

There are always ignorant idiots around, and some are men, and some are women. Would you like to be lumped in with the men who rape women, or beat them? Of course not, because you don't rape women or beat them. So why are you lumping all women in with these ignorant lesbian idiots?
This isn't the men's locker room.

In "Morning Glory Silking Farm" a spherical Guatemalan milkmaid finds love in the shadows of Trump's America when she is forced to extract silk from enormous arachnid breeding studs for slave wages.
Read as her fear turns to lust, when she grasps the turgid spinneret of Shelob, a stern but sensual spider chimera with the head of a man, and the insatiable ardor of an eight-legged love machine.

He inquired whether a boy who had never had surgeries or puberty blockers but still identified as a girl could be denied the ability to participate. After all, woke liberal logic is that you must oblige a person’s feelings on identity and seek to accommodate their wishes.
Hartnett fell into Alito’s trap and answered ‘yes.’ The justice then piggybacked off his first question by perfectly exposing the lie of gender identity.

Posted by: Thomas Bender
The first better-than-average version of X will become popular.
Beatles were the first "pop/rock-n-roll band" to make it big.
Star Wars was the first "space opera film" to make it big. (Star Trek I was two years later, tho it had been on the small screen earlier.)
Same as Iron Maiden to metal, Nirvana to grunge, etc.
Being both "first" and "good" doesn't automatically make you the "best," which is where a lot of the "I don't get its" come from, I think.
If another band with the same physical appearance and performance/compositional skill level as the Beatles arrived in 1976, or 1994, or 2015, would they have automatically been a "world wide phenomenon," or just another pop band?

Don't take things so personal -- when I say "men" or "women" I obviously do not mean all men or women, or even most.
What I mean, (and what I hope most people can understand) is that there is a marginal propensity among men or women in that direction. It is a generalization to simplify the argument. I am looking at the mean and noting that the mean for one group is a little more in one direction than for the other group.
This is how we talk when we understand that humans are all unique and our traits are on a normal distribution curve and you can not apply any generalization to an individual. I am sure that there are good, hardworking, honest Somalians, but I am not going to qualify my statements everytime I say that they are not good for the country and I want them all out, for example.

HARTNETT: Yes, they can.
ALITO: Is that person not a woman in your understanding? The person says, ‘I sincerely believe I am a woman, I am in fact a woman.’ Is that person not a woman?
HARTNETT: I, I, would respect their self-identity in addressing this person, but in terms of statute, does that person have a sex-based biological advantage that’s going to be unfair for that person to be part of the women’s team? That’s the rationale for the regulation, and that’s the way we would be testing that…
ALITO: The reason I’m asking has to do with discrimination on the basis of transgender status. You seem to be saying that it is permissible for the school to discriminate on the basis of transgender status.

They bought the lie by their organizers that ICE has no police powers for giving orders to, or arresting, anyone other than illegal aliens. These women (and their soy boy conspirators) have been told they are untouchable by ICE officers for anything they do. Trust me on this.
Yet if they checked on the webz, they'd learn ICE has been issuing orders for a long time to protestors to cease interference with ICE ops and arresting those not complying. They'd learn that courts have not issued orders to ICE to cease doing those things. Because ICE is legally doing those things.

They were just orders of magnitude better than anything that was currently popular in the cultural zeitgeist. And it’s not that they were simply great, they were also prolific, what we think of as Beatlmania lasted for seven years and in that time they released 12 studio albums and pretty much every album could be considered a greatest hits album in its own right.
If you watch Rick Bragg, literally every artist he’s had on sites The Beatles as a major influence.

They WANT what they believe to be true. Or, as "they" say, it is "their truth." I cannot relate at all to being so ugly in all ways (face and thoughts) to do this crap. And that is all it is: an outlet for their anger of being ugly and ignored. Or so I think. Years of indoctrination. Years of feeling bullied and left out and mental illness taking the place of normal self-esteem. Landman's episode of dyke in the dorm is an example.
The underbelly of reddit and social media feed this fire of insanity. As they did for anything Trump related. They cannot and will not change their thinking. They will become more angry and more dangerous.
I guess the Dyke Widow thought they had Nerf or paint guns. Wrong!
They had their little protest and found out that it is not fun, games and popcorn to interfere with the federal investigation of an illegal.

I have outsiders review my professional work after I go through several iterations plus conference presentations before submission to journal along with the lengthy rewrite to fix what the editors want.
Personally, I rewrite in my head multiple times now before I put something down literally using my internal voice. And then rewrite again if possible. But I can miss obvious problems because I see what isn't there sometimes. So for mission critical, I use outsiders for long documents.

In that, it was what it was. Because it was a visceral experience--to a kid, that is.
Lucas spent a good portion of his life bringing this story to screen. And was on a schedule to produce the sequels.
That said, if his wife hadn't stepped up to recut the original, it probably would have been a lot more of a snorefest.

The moros Juramentados would bind themselves tightly with white cotton cloth bandages to suppress the bleeding, and get hella stoned on hash before setting out to kill as many foes as possible.
However, yes, the determination was that the .38 revolver was not as good as a .44 or .45
The Army felt the French 11mm Ordinance pistol was a good start, but it would not penetrate a horse's skull if it struck slightly oblique, The .45 ACP was accepted in trials in part because it would.

I think a few really good writers can work in prose as they do in fiction but not many. Asimov comes to mind, Thomas Fleming is another, but Tolkien's professional work was much less interesting than his fiction or rewriting fictional stories. I find the opposite with CS Lewis.

The other lie, and not just about ICE, is that all protest arrests are "catch and release" with no fine, record, or jail time.
That is something we really need to change. These people need to have consequences. I am sorry that the antifa infiltrators and instigators at J6 were pardoned (the few who were charged.) Trump had a chance to say that no-one gets to break things or harm police without spending time in jail. I know why he did it, though.

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 13, 2026 04:47 PM (uEUHC)
I'd say you have it backwards. It was the "wife" who insisted on not backing down, and the driver (and driving is often something of a "guy thing") was LARP-ing as the "husband" appeasing "his" "wife" by doing as she urged.
Although an ACTUAL man would likely have refused, understanding full well where that would go, and having the instinct to both protect and survive.
But I would say it's not necessarily about backing down when you're wrong, the overriding concern is whether it's a battle you can WIN. Even if you're NOT wrong, you're going to back down, if it just not important enough to get your ass kicked over.

"No More Lonely Nights" was included on the movie "Give My Regards to Broadstreet". Both the album and the movie did well. McCartney had other stuff that charted in the late 80s/early 90s. And I think that he had something (I remember a video of him walking a street playing a mandolin) that charted in the mid 2010s? If he wanted to chart an album, he'd have a better chance at doing so than Paul Simon--McCartney still sells out arenas.

This. I doubt anyone really understands why Star Wars was such a big thing, as they've been trying unsuccessfully to replicate it ever since. The best theory I've seen is that at the height of malaise, Vietnam, "put on a sweater" and a movie season where everything at the box office was grim, cynical and dirty - along comes a film that's bright, optimistic, it has heroes and villains and you know which is which and you're allowed to cheer the heroes and boo the villains, and it's a pastiche of a ton of movies from your childhood that were actually *fun*. In short, Star Wars became Star Wars because it was the right kind of movie at the right time. Arguably same reason Top Gun: Maverick made a billion dollars.

Bill Clinton Is a No-Show At Congressional Hearing on Jeffrey Epstein; Comer Vows Contempt of Congress Criminal Charges
Steve Bannon went to jail for refusing to show up for testimony.
Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning. Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House's bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday. Comer said Tuesday morning, "We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee ... to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress." "I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it's important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee," Comer told reporters after formally ending the deposition. "No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that's why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton." He said "not a single Democrat" showed up to the deposition on Tuesday. ... Hillary Clinton had also been subpoenaed to appear on Wednesday but likely will not show up. The Clintons' attorney sent Comer a letter confirming they're challenging the legality of the subpoenas issued against them. "[T]he Subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute," reads the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital. ... "Your continued insistence that the former President and Secretary of State can be compelled to appear before the Committee under these circumstances, however, brings us toward a protracted and unnecessary legal confrontation that distracts from the principal work of the Congress with respect to this matter, which, if conducted sincerely, could help ensure the victims of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are afforded some measure of justice for the crimes perpetrated against them, however late. But perhaps distraction is the point."
You’re right, President Clinton. This is about right and wrong.
— Rep. James Comer (@RepJamesComer) January 13, 2026
Epstein’s survivors deserve justice and answers.
Refusing to comply with a bipartisan, duly authorized congressional subpoena in our Epstein investigation is unacceptable.

I've advised clients to duck subpoenas, to object to them, to challenge them, to basically wipe their asses with them. Sure, maybe after rounds of contempt proceedings and 18 months of bullshit, maybe a judge finally orders my client to appear or produce documents. Maybe.
But until a judge formally orders compliance with a subpoena, they are basically meaningless pieces of paper.

I'm not holding out hope that the judges won't find some reason to find that the Obama case against Jan Brewer is (D)ifferent from Trump exercise of supremacy. And needs a "updated review" of the exercise of government powers.
The SCOTUS is making itself into Phillip V of Spain, and somebody just posted how many cases a year they have to refuse--despite that they have chosen to absorb review of government action.
The one thing the SCOTUS has been good at throughout its history is expanding the jurisdiction of the SCOTUS as the last word.

I don't know enough about Congressional subpoenas or the scope of their authority to opine on the enforceability of this subpoena. But claiming a subpoena is "unenforceable" or "invalid" is Legal 101 to try to get out of it. If nothing else, it will buy time -- sometimes a lot of time, as my comment above describes.

Partially true, until the House votes for contempt, then not legally enforceable. When they do, then yes, they can either refer to the DoJ, file a civil lawsuit, or use their Sgt at Arms to arrest and detain the Clintons under McGrain v Daugherty. Inherent power of Congress to investigate.
The Clintons are hinting that their defense will be this is not a legitimate exercise of the Congressional investigative power but the Epstein release bill means that is a loser argument if not at the addlepated district courts in DC, then the appellate courts.
Jan 6 indifference by the Court and contempt charges by DoJ to key Trump officials send the message to courts that this is a political question and thus Congress and the DoJ can proceed without courts quashing the subpoenas.

Leadership supports Comer in this case. A little payback to teh Dems and renegade GOP members that pushed the Epstein resolution. The Dems will smear shit on their face if they vote against contempt for 2026 elections neutralizing Epstein issue and the renegade GOP members like Mace and Boebert, if not Massie, will be forced to walk the plank for it too. Boebert is running for reelection and Mace is running for SC governor, voting against contempt would likely hurt both in Nov.

Difference is that leadership supports Comer in this case because of the politics of the Epstein issue. It puts the Democrats on the back foot again if they try to stop a contempt vote for the Clintons, especially with what has come out. So it would be for politics in neutralizing 2026 attacks on the issue. And it would force those GOP discharge petition signers to walk the plank as well, you can't claim virtue if you refuse to compel the Clintons to testify. Assie might vote differently but Boebert, Mace, and a few others will have no such cover in primaries coming up.

Also when the GOP got Congress, it was regular for departments under Obama to simply blow off oversight meetings.

I dunno. It all depends on the attitude of the judge. I saw a judge order deputies to find and lock up a guy who ignored a witness subpoena in a civil case. Witness had been advised by his attorney not to show. Witness spent the night in jail. Lawyer was found in contempt as well and had his license suspended for 6 months.

Technically, you might be right. But in practice, just send a letter objecting to the subpoena. I've never once in my career moved to quash a subpoena. I just objected to them. If the other side then ask the court to compel me, I would fight it out there. A long time later, maybe the judge would order my client to comply. Maybe.

This may be the single dumbest thing anyone ever said in connection with Epstein.
If he did nothing wrong, then why subpoena him. Call his lawyer, and ask your questions. He is a former President, for crissakes, show some respect if all you want is questions answered.
But if he is suspected of doing "wrong", as he so obviously should be, then fricking SAY SO you mealy-mouthed idiot. If you are calling a former President to a public embarrassment, then say why.

He's really not a conservative except if you think that wanting to conserve sanity is some sort of niche and shouldn't be the mainstream.

One thing to remember about this - Paula Jones didn't come out and accused Clinton out of the blue.
The American Spectator interviewed Clinton's security detail who confirmed Clinton did this sort of stuff constantly - one of the cases the security detail mentioned ended up being Paula Jones and this prompted her to sue because she did not want people to think that she took Clinton's offer of favor at work for sex.
In between the story breaking and Jones suing the FNM declared this was all lies...but Clinton agreeing to pay Jones to stop her civil suit says it was all true...

From where Ross was standing, he was likely close enough to the van that he could not see the tires.
I'd add, and by the time that she started moving to the point she hit him, there's no way he could have had the time to see the tires turn.
That is, as a matter of law, it takes 0.75 seconds from seeing to reacting.

an old girlfriend of mine had this happen to her. Hillary and her mother were college friends and they had dinner together while on vacation, after Bill lost his re-election campaign in Arkansas. She got up to go to the bathroom, Bill was waiting for her in the hallway when she came out, he trapped her up against the wall and tried kissing her. Pleaded with her to meet him on the first tee after everyone was in bed, for sex, and she declined. She was maybe 17 at the time.

The worse Trump will do is arrest him and put him on trial. Heck many on the Left will give him the Al Franken treatment if he becomes a major liability.
But there are those on the Left who are far more militant to worry about. He courts their support but doesn't understand the price they will demand for that loyalty.

Just another stupidity folk tale from the left's fever swamps. They don't think ICE can arrest citizens, don't believe they are committing a crime when obstructing ICE arrests or hitting them, trying to grab their guns, etc., or throwing shit at them.
This is because they get away with that shit all the time in blue city protests and the police rarely do jack shit to the pampered pets.
So it goes to their thinking that ICE might pepper spray us, use tasers, bean bag shotgun rounds, or hit us, but not SHOOT us with real bullets for violence against them.
ICE are not riot cops, they are there to snatch armed and dangerous criminals so of course they are armed. They are not riot police in friendly cities.

"They" is the keyword. I don't think Comer has anything earthshattering. But, someone could easily be safeguarding documentation. Intelligence community, foreign intelligence, even corporate interests.
Anyone who looks how Epstein was handled back in 2006 know it didn't add up. He was, absolutely, nailed on the underage issues and about 13 other charges. Palm Beach County detectives pulled out all the stops. Then, the Feds stepped in and lowered it to two charges. Soliciting prostitution being the most severe. He gets an NPA (Non-Prosecution Agreement) from the Feds without any leverage, and the Feds didn't even bother to tell the victims of his crimes about that. He gets sentence to work release and no records show him even visiting the half-way house.
Epstein was working for someone after that...likely the CIA regardless of all the denials. And, they'd be my first guess at who holds any documentation on the Island antics.

I can feel that in myself. But my lack of hope in a secular fix is its release.
The Weight of God is not on the atheist or the secular idealist. Their only punishment is if another faction can turn the tables on them. And then they can plead that they are simply being made an example simply by having another faction bring them in the vicinity of justice.
The Weight of God brings a *seriousness*, that while it *can* be mislead. When developed can lead to a serious review of how we stand in accord to our values.

From wiki,
During the first Clinton administration, Middleton served as a special assistant to the President and as an aide to Chief of Staff Mack McLarty. His main task at the White House was to maintain contact with Clinton's various donors. He was involved in facilitating access to the White House for various visitors, including financier Jeffrey Epstein. Records indicate that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995, with many of those visits authorized by Middleton. He also flew with Epstein on his private jet in May 1994.
On May 7, 2022, Middleton was found dead at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, approximately 30 miles from his home. His death was ruled a suicide; authorities reported that he was found hanging from a tree with an extension cord around his neck and a shotgun wound to his chest. The circumstances of his death prompted public speculation.

Transactional or complete immunity which compels him/her to answer all questions. Same as what Ollie North and John Poindexter did. Makes it very hard to prosecute subsequently as both North and Poindexter had their Iran Contra convictions tossed because of it.

Who says I'm trying to read his mind. "Put no trust in princes" may have a republican application as well.
Just because I have no hope in man righting the situation doesn't mean that I don't do things within reason to advocate for a stable society.
But people these days are like nailing jello. And they would have me be "reasonable" to adjust to their doublespeak. Which I can't do--not without some kind of path from where I am now.
It's hard to view the judges as a class of experts stealing away the discretion of the republic on the basis that they are better thinkers in the mathematical space of law and rights and think that *I* can do any more than condemn the doublethink that screeches about "democracy" but day to day empowers "judicial review" in everything.

Remember when early in the first term, Bill had thugs go through all the security clearance documents for the GOP officeholders. They document affairs, being gay, financial matters, past misdeeds, etc. and I suspect that Bill and his thuggish PI, Jack Palladino grabbed a bunch of incriminating information so as to blackmail a lot of teh GOP establishment.
Obama put that spying on GOP members on steroids with operatives having access to new and old NSA intercepts in real time. Plus some of the worst requests were laundered through 5 Eyes and probably Dearlove's private security firm in the UK.

Sgt at Arms originally was charged with making sure that members could not stay away from the chamber during quorum calls. So normally, their role is that but they do have the power to enforce a chamber's ruling on 'arresting' and 'detaining' a witness. They used to do security before the Capitol Hill cops were created.

You know, I have a theory about that. "FileGate". Hillary was involved to some extent. And, while I think you nailed one of the purposes (developing opposition research). I think Hillary used some of those files for recruitment of her anticipated Presidential run down the road. I think that's how James Comey shot up the promotion ladder so quickly. He got a nice promotion to Richmond in Clinton's second term.
It always bothered me how loyal certain well place people in govt are to Hillary despite her lack of redeeming qualities. I think those FBI vetting files were also about her setting up players for her team by giving them vocational assistance through Bill's White House.

This Epstein sex scandal stuff has been one of the greatest tactical moves in a while.
• Trump gets slimed even though he had nothing to do with Epstein.
• The DOJ is spending huge amounts of time to redact millions of documents rather than pursuing anything else.
• Epstein is associated with sex crimes even though its obvious to those who see the world other than one titillating story after another has an information, influence and money laundering operation - that all is off the news.
• this reinforces the idea that the entire system is rigged and the population loses faith in the authorities.
In the end, all of the criminals walk off in the sunset with all of their plunder.

Arkansas was a very rural state and governors had a two year term as well as other state officers, so Billy Jeff was always campaigning to the point I think he actually talked to all the voters in Arkansas at one time or another.

Trump Ends "Temporary" Protected Status for Thousands of Somali Pirate Nomads
BTW, most Somalis are, unfortunately, citizens by now. This doesn't affect them. But... that's no reason for blackpilling. Change almost never comes with one magic silver bullet. It comes from a lot of small changes sustained over time.Search their bags on their way out:
Trump administration ends temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in US Several thousand Somali nationals currently living in the US must leave the country by March 17 FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection. Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17. "Temporary means temporary," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirement for Temporary Protected Status." "Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests," Noem added. "We are putting Americans first."
Update: They'll even skim the money they give to you to bribe a juror.

@nettermike BREAKING: TSA data reveal nearly $700 million in declared US cash flagged in luggage by Somali couriers departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and yet the Biden The White House told TSA to stand down. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Administration (TSA) flagged approximately $692 million ($342.4 million in 2024 and $349.4 million in 2025) in declared U.S. currency detected in passengers' luggage departing from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)--roughly $1 million per day over the two years--John Solomon, the editor-in-chief of Just the News reports. The investigative reports state that most of these cash transports were carried by Somali-American couriers on flights to Somalia or other Middle Eastern destinations. The cash was legally declared (as required for amounts over $10,000 under U.S. law), so no immediate seizures or arrests occurred at the airport. However, federal authorities are now probing these movements as potentially linked to money laundering and the export of proceeds from large-scale fraud schemes in Minnesota. Federal investigators suspect fraud proceeds were converted to cash and exported via couriers (often using informal hawala networks common in Somali culture for remittances). Some probes have allegedly linked funds to regions in Somalia controlled by al-Shabaab (a terrorist group). Source: The Tennessee Star
Treasury Sec. Bessent tells @christopherrufo one of the many shocking fraud stories out of MN: "One of the Somali fraudsters tried to bribe a juror with $120,000. As it turned out, she had been given $200,000 to bribe the juror and she skimmed $80,000." https://t.co/c9C3CwCROH pic.twitter.com/Na7i0DlLa3

On that note, we need to (if it isn't the case now) make it the law so that if a naturalized citizen commits a felony, they are immediately denaturalized and deported.
That would deal with the Somali issue.

Then we have the generations of illegals whose grandmother came over to pick tomatoes and stayed and still does not speak English, read English,assimilate or pay taxes after 20-30yrs.
There are various kinds of illegals, along with the rapists, murderers, and brewing terrorists. And the drivers of semi's and drunk drivers going the wrong way.

The Somali fraud was...fraud. It was all illegal. No new law is going to make it extra illegal.
But, on the other hand, DOJ is largely black box, and people don't even pay attention when DOJ opens up slightly and lets in a peek at what's going on with filings. So, suspicion that nothing is happening abounds until a particular figure in mind is in chains.

Because, they can't afford the precedent.
And because, if they can lose their status due to the President finding a generalized fraud by the community (which they are going to scream is racist), then they also lose their basis for preventing de-naturalization due to the same finding of fraud.

But that solves only what man sees as wrong, and doesn't stop what the proud man doesn't see. So we had injustice that failed to meet our standard.

He talks about Uzbekistan, without noting that the Uzbeks are not Pakis. Not arabs, and were squeezed dry by 60 years of Stalin, and they have not really had a chance to become radical (but they will in time.)

But, on the other hand, DOJ is largely black box, and people don't even pay attention when DOJ opens up slightly and lets in a peek at what's going on with filings. So, suspicion that nothing is happening abounds until a particular figure in mind is in chains.

Perhaps if Congressmen were loudly verbal about all the fraud and demanding prosecutions.
At this point they are suspiciously silent, which the average citizen will infer that Congress is OK with the fraud and maybe complicit.
I think if they passed a law hiring 85,000 new IRS agents whose sole work is to audit NGOs and government paid service providers, maybe that would help too.

Madison laid out the foundation of "enlightened personal interest" and that was again, like the balance of powers, the forces at work against each other would provide stability. The country run mostly by its primary stake holders, who could engage a positive self-interest, was quite stable.
But that also worked on a "pauper nation". As America grew in strength and power and people, it also grew in rhetoric and egalitarian ideal.
I think modern man has such a hodge-podge of ideas of "What made America great" that we're bound to create the current mishmash.

Congress is tasked with shepherding the taxpayers' money, to goods and services for the benefit of the taxpayers.
That's not what we have. What we have are people who get bought by all the various factions that buy them, so said congresscritters can funnel taxpayers' money to the entities that own them.

Fascism didn't die in WWII. It simply metastasized into all European states.
I've had Europeans tell me that there is *no party* as "right" as the American "right". So, I would argue that there is no *real* opposition in Britain that says if the State reaches a consensus, it can do it--no matter what "it" is.
And with the state of the UK doling out ridiculous socialism, including feeling the burden to a duty to people who have *physically* wrecked their state-given housing to give those people new houses.
Gentile said that fascism is necessarily socialistic, and Mussolini, his pupil, said the same. Thus you have socialism with unlimited state power, which is basically functional fascism. Or at least the same power dynamic that it shouldn't be considered that much greater than that now defamed *term*.

By the way, there is no publicly available document that shows what the DOJ sent to Powell. All we have right now is his side of the story. He has had all this time to set the narrative that everyone in DC has their knickers in a twist over. He'd better hope that the document is as inflammatory as he says it is.

A culture birthed the ruthless warlike Germans. They have fully another culture now. I don't think we'll see it again.
In order to attain peace, the Germans had to take the blame for WWI, and that costs them so much in reparations to other countries that a resentful faction rose to power. One country was brow-beaten for WWI, when it was just trying to get a jump on the surrounding Russian-Britain-French alliance. Because Russia was threatening to invade allied Austria for backlash at Slavs killing their ruler.

Looks like Trump has found his Jews. Creating the problem to solve it is a strategy not random occurrence. Show your followers you get things done, and gain their support. Horrible!
Is it possible that we can’t get even a single day of respite? :-(
Somalis specifically because a lot of them live in Minneapolis. They want to really let ICE off the chain in that city so they can hopefully get a good little riot going. This is after all the same city that rioted after George Floyd. Ideally, they can get the military involved. If all they accomplish is that it makes it harder for democrats to win an election there, that’s fine too.
I lived in Minneapolis for a few years and met many Somali people. Very kind and hard working. Like any group of people, there are bad eggs, but the vast majority are good people who don’t deserve this. My heart breaks that they are being targeted this way. It’s pure racism.

Elica above makes the point that Iranian culture is not the same as the barbaric stone-age Arab/Muslim culture, loves to point out they are descended from Cyrus the Great (who freed the Jews from captivity to go back and start the Second Temple) and all that.
She prompted me to get interested in that (and again, had nothing to do with how hot she is). The Arabs conquered them in 651 AD, I think.

Very depressing to see a formerly great nation fall, not so depressing for the Brits themselves when you consider they did it of their own free will.
After we saved their asses from their own fuck ups for the second time in the 20th Century, they lost their colonial empire, so they decided that it was their right to stealth-colonize the US and lead us by the nose. Took 'em awhile to get it going though. They've been fucking around with our elections for decades, and really got going on that part of the project by Chocolate Fonzie's second term. And it wasn't the Paki Brits who were doing it.

Last year I read Melmoth the Wanderer - I was surprised at how anti-Catholic it was. It was also a very interesting perspective on the Inquisition. He is not really justified in his criticism of Spain and Rome, just a lot of cheap jibs and in hindsight makes him look petty. (It was written by an Anglican Clergy of some kind, I think.)

Up until Trump's new tariff, Germany was the biggest trading partner in Europe for Iran. Screw them and their rotten support for tyrannies.
I suspect a lot of trading partners are stopping, not for morals, but because the Iranian rial is now worth nothing. That is why the regime is desperate, they bought off the people with money and now that is gone for the short run because it is worthless. The bazaars are shut down for days now as well which presaged the fall of the Shah.

Howard Lutnick makes a great point in his All-In interview with Chamath (released last Friday). When this country was built with immigrants a century-plus ago, there was no gov't support for them. They either made it or went back to their home countries. Now, immigrants come here and they get all the bennies that citizens get. If you come illegally, it's even worse.

In Mark Bowdon's Blackhawk Down, the last chapter talked about how the world had basically forgotten that Somalia even existed a couple of years later, but the Somalis were convinced that the world was hanging on, intensely interested in which gang currently controlled the street outside of Abdi's Cellphone Emporium and Internet Cafe in Mogadishu.

That is one of the fundamental changes in the philosophy in governance when the US switched to Income Tax from principally Tariff based financing.
The citizen became a source of revenue, and the state became the rentier directly on the lives of the individual --which suppresses productivity -- instead of focusing on raising revenue from imports which has the unfortunate side effect of raising productivity within the US economy.

Silver is a thinly traded market compared to oil. What you have are people convinced that this is Gamestop redux and they could be correct or not about naked shorts needing coverage.
But, anything soaring over 170 percent in one year is not a sustainable market price due to substitution effects and depressing the goods that silver goes into. If you want an inflation hedge, gold right now is the better buy. Silver is a momentum market which turn nasty on the downside.

Commentary, A Somali-American former investigator: why you’re hearing about fraud in my community
In part, "That covers the desire, and here’s where opportunity comes into play: Minnesota’s public programs don’t adequately guard against organized fraud.
The systems intended to catch fraud are mostly designed to root out recipient fraud. It is exceedingly difficult to guard against providers who collude with recipients, which is the type of fraud most pervasive in the Somali community. It is both time-consuming and resource-intensive to investigate complex fraud schemes involving providers who work with recipients to defraud the government, though investigators have trained their eyes: The charges in the most recent Medicaid fraud case allege that the co-conspirators paid kickbacks to lure recipients to their agency.
Let me explain how providers are often duping or colluding with recipients: Both in tradition and culture, and as refugees living in another country, we are a tight-knit community. We share the same language, culture and faith.
Unlike the wider American society, which is increasingly fractured and mistrustful of each other..."

Not logic, naive assumption. Situations are the same until different is another way to put it.
The trick is to figure out when different occurs because then the world appears to go cray cray for a bit until a new equilibrium is reached.
If you like to play with game theory and Bayesian statistics, you can try to work out 'different' and 'stasis' on a prediction chart. FWIW, I think Palantir does something similar but haven't paid much attention to what their predictive models are based upon.

He was collecting evidence for obstruction of federal agent charges by video--you show the position of the vehicle, the license plate, any damage to the vehicle, etc. Fast reactions saved him because he was taken a bit unawares. Analysis shows the vehicle went from 0-7 mph in about a second hitting him.
You can see when things go pear shape as he drops his phone which disrupts the video. He is hit and almost within a 1.5 seconds has pulled his gun and fired the first shot into the windshield.
I think that might have been the kill shot hitting either the upper neck or the skull. From what I have read, one shot went into the body of the door, unlikely to be fatal and another was fired from the side through the open window which could have been a fatal shot but trying to hit a moving vehicle from the side is a difficult shot compared with being squared up and shooting through the windshield

And the state leg and when the GOP held the state Supreme Court, they did nothing to stop the Dems from doing what they did. No redistricting, no impeachment and removal of a Dem Scotus judge, etc. Now they will lose all of Walker's reforms because they just cannot be bothered to fight.
Casual voters see evil shit like the House and Senate voting for billions for refugee settlement, more than the Biden junta got, and doing nothing to stop teh Dems and say why bother.
I am not that way but a lot of normal folks are.
Why bother when the GOP is only half as shitty as the Dems. Plus the GOP state campaign apparatus focus on ads, fliers, and other shit rather than voter harvesting and registering along with GOTV at elections.

Scott Bessent: 10% of US Government Spending Is Stolen Every Single Year
I mentioned this on Friday but it's getting more notice now.
Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are being squandered on waste, fraud, and abuse each year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shockingly claimed in a recent interview. Somewhere between 5-10% of the total federal budget gets gobbled up by wrongdoers each year, Bessent said, citing data from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). "If we can narrow that number, President Trump asked for a $500 billion increase in the defense budget to fortify the 10 to 20 years of neglect," Bessent told journalist Christopher Rufo in a recent interview. "If we need to flex up our military budget, if we can get rid of this waste, fraud, and abuse, we can finance a safer, sounder US with that, without taking on more debt. Sounds like a pretty good outcome to me." A GAO analysis found that between $233 billion and $521 billion was lost annually due to fraud during fiscal years 2018 through 2022. Since fiscal year 2003, improper payments -- separate from fraud -- have likely cost taxpayers about $2.8 trillion, the GAO also found.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to Minnesota -- and in another bit of insurrection, Tim Walz refused to provide security for the visiting Secretary. Bessent says Walz knows what's coming:
I hope that means an arrest is coming, and in fact I do take him as implying that.
When Bessent came for this roundtable discussion, Gov. Tim Walz reportedly didn't guarantee security at the state capitol, which led to Bessent delivering this haymaker:"He's not gonna be able to hide," he said. "We will get there."
Tim Walz is a coward. He is a coward. He would not guarantee that the Treasury Secretary would have protection in the Minnesota State Capitol. He's afraid of what is coming.

It creates an ecosystem.
You pay for dozens of levels of hundreds, if not thousands, of organizations that all have the implicit need to support the system that permits their existence, the free market not having the inefficiencies to tolerate them.
USAID was $40 billion a year. That's 5 Hollywoods. Hollywood makes $8 billion in box office sales a year. How persuasive is Hollywood to half the country? How persuasive is an ecosystem 5 times bigger also dedicated to infecting the world with propaganda about the necessity of more government spending?
What about an ecosystem 10 times greater than even that?

I've seen this, and I find it intriguing. I've never really thought they were high, though I did wonder how they arrived at their numbers. Knowing what we know now, it makes perfect sense that it probably is way overestimated. The managerial class wants it to be as high a number for everything the managerial class wants.
More pop -> more bureaucracy.
More pop -> scarier our adversaries -> more bureaucracy.
More pop -> more we need to reduce - > more bureaucracy.
So on and so forth.
I don't know if they are way off, but I suspect the world's population is much less than we are being told.

The Mafioso might not be big in the US anymore, but the void was filled. Indian, Russian, Chinese organized crime is through the roof. Immigrants to the US do so, a lot of the time, with the express purpose of gaming the "freebies." That's their sole purpose for being here. Then, there are the NGO's and I include the Catholic Church in that category. When USAID was plugged, the Catholic church had to terminate over 75% of their "programs".
Most of the money, I'm sure, is sitting in shell companies outside of the US for various purposes, including developing larger and more lucrative scams. The richest guy in Somalia got so by setting up a Money Transfer service (based in a country that has minimal money to transfer)...does that make sense?

Because the ChiCom obsession with the ROC isn't about anything rational.

To wipe out the shame, they have to OVERTLY defeat the Kuomintang to show the world that they are preeminent.

She/he/pronoun SHOULD be investigated before collecting $1.5 million in goFraudme as a "widow."
The day of the shooting there was a comment on the UK DM that SHE...the widow... was a "professional protester." She did take the blame for bringing her sweet "wife" to the protest.Then saying, "drive, baby, drive" right into bullets after hitting the ICE agent.
However, it got murkier in that sweet wife had "friends" at the wacko charter school where he son was sent. They all belonged to this anti-ICE movement and knew the "rulez for radicals" taught in this little school group.
What I want to know, in the spare seconds I think about it, is how long have they been together? Since husband #2 in Colorado? Is that when she went ghey? After being denied her first two kids with husband #1 due to abuse?
Then I go eat a Dove chocolate and go on with my day of not messing with ICE or anyone else (except my husband).

No one would believe him if he said the true number. He has to start with a small amount that's plausible and then start escalating it as more fraud is "uncovered." (They already know the extent--they just can't sell it to the public yet.)

Actually, the $9 billion number is a preliminary estimate from the USA in MN across 14 welfare programs, not just one.
Biden's DOJ brought a few dozen people up on charges for defrauding one of those 14 during the previous administration (Feed Our People, or whatever it's actually called).
And people have been talking about the probable size of CA's fraud as well. Plus, you know. DeWine said that fraudulent payments in OH's system was just the cost of doing business.

Today I had to go to Wikipedia disambiguation on "Scott Adams" to even remember who the other Scott Adams was.

Scott Adams, Humorist and Rebel, Dies at Age 68 After Long Fight with Prostate Cancer
He's gone to the great Corporate Meeting in the sky.
In more recent years, he became a prolific presence through his books, on social media, through his livestreamed podcasts seven days a week, offering real-time commentary on news and media narratives. In 2023, newspapers across the United States and abroad dropped Dilbert from syndication, ending a run that had lasted more than three decades, after comments Adams made on his podcast were taken out of context to allege that he was racist. He would later describe this encounter with cancel culture as one of the more liberating moments of his life. While he lost access to longtime readers of his comic strip in newspapers, he gained a huge following among conservatives, who saw the mercilessness of cancel culture at play with him. Still, he continued to publish Dilbert online. As a podcaster, he started every livestream with his patented "Simultaneous sip," where he would invite everyone watching and listening to join him in "sipping your favorite beverage. I like coffee." From there he would do a one-man monologue, usually for an hour, on the topics of the day, scientific and technology news, and anything else that interested him. He rarely interviewed guests, and did not play audio or video from other media. He typically would just describe it in low-tech fashion. But because it was a livestream, he would continually interact directly with his audience in real time, monitoring and reading listener comments. So even though his was the only voice you heard, it felt as if he was having a conversation with his audience. While Adams resisted calling himself a conservative, his point of view most often reflected the Donald Trump base, though at times, he would challenge that base on some issues. In late 2025, Adams disclosed that he had earlier been diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer, and while he continued to undergo a multitude of aggressive treatments under his doctors' supervision, he continued to appear on his podcast seven days a week, for the most part, right up until yesterday.

He expressed his deep hatred for Obama who he blamed for the unleashing of cancel culture (and never tried to reign it in) which had cost him so many friends, acquaintances and his career. For him it was not business/politics, it was personal. Made the point of Obama's assholery in a new way.

The one that shot her did not apparently have much if any interaction with the outside butch or the driver. Guy was being professional ignoring the bating of the butch while he was doing a 360 video sweep of the car for evidence for obstruction charges. You can see from his video when he drops the phone, presumably to draw his firearm and shoot.
He was not out in front of the car to stop her but was gathering evidence of obstruction (the car was the evidence--location, positive id via license plate, damage) until Karen put the car in motion hitting him, then he drew and fired. He had a phone in his hand for most of the confrontation.

During my last physical, my GP didn't do the procedure we all know and love, but did do the PSA blood test. It made me curious.
The PSA blood test is generally more sensitive for finding prostate cancer early, detecting tumors missed by the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) (82% vs 55%), but has lower specificity (more false positives). The DRE is less sensitive but can catch some cancers with normal PSA levels, though its accuracy varies by clinician. Combining both tests offers the best detection, as they catch different cancers, with studies showing up to 91.5% diagnostic accuracy when used together, improving detection rates significantly over either test alone

Once seen, it can never ever be unseen. But sometimes it's hard to see in the first place. So you end up saying stuff like, "Why is Trump saying that?" or "Why do the media continue to lie even when they've been proven liars and wrong?" Once you "get it" you just get it. And it's not a secret as such, it is just the techniques are proven and work.
And when I read his How to Fail at Everything book, which is pretty entertaining, I learned that people who read self help books - any self help books - are statistically happier and more successful than those who don't, which I thought was funny.

In 1993, Adams became the first syndicated cartoonist to include his email address in his strip. That triggered a dialogue between the artist and his fans, giving Adams a fountain of ideas for the strip.
“Dilbert” was also known for generating aphorisms, like “All rumors are true — especially if your boss denies them” and “OK, let’s get this preliminary pre-meeting going.”
“If you can come to peace with the fact that you’re surrounded by idiots, you’ll realize that resistance is futile, your tension will dissipate, and you can sit back and have a good laugh at the expense of others,” Adams wrote in his 1996 book “The Dilbert Principle.”

I take both those as prophylactics, Ivermectin every few months, Fenbendazole less than that. Better to use them early, and they seem very safe. They are good for more than just cancer, as I hear it.

That's what persuaded me that job-hopping would not solve bureaucratic issues at my employer. Everyone in the corporate world thought Adams used to work for their company. Or at least had a mole inside reporting on things to put in next Sunday's strip.

-----------------
In 1993, Adams became the first syndicated cartoonist to include his email address in his strip. That triggered a dialogue between the artist and his fans, giving Adams a fountain of ideas for the strip.
“Dilbert” was also known for generating aphorisms, like “All rumors are true — especially if your boss denies them” and “OK, let’s get this preliminary pre-meeting going.”
“If you can come to peace with the fact that you’re surrounded by idiots, you’ll realize that resistance is futile, your tension will dissipate, and you can sit back and have a good laugh at the expense of others,” Adams wrote in his 1996 book “The Dilbert Principle.”

Grandfather was the same way. Died of COPD complications (was a 4-5 packs a day smoker then quit but not until a lot of damage had been done).
Grandfather quit smoking at about 50 and lived to 77. He said he realized that when he had a cigarette in his mouth lit and he was already getting the next out to smoke that he needed to quit for his kids and wife. And he did. Cold turkey.

He did a little of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, and the rest of the protocol, but didn't stay with it, quit too early.
Who knows what would have happened if he had stayed with it? Maybe the same outcome.
My B-i-L died of pancreatic cancer (and yes, I think it was brought on by the Vax, just like Scott Adams).
I tried to talk him into alternative therapies, but again, he was too far gone, and my sister (his wife) was against it....just do what the doctor said. Waiting for Chemotherapy that was never started because he was already too far gone.
Scott was a wry, funny guy, in many ways. Been following Dilbert for ....decades.

Iran is only about 60% Persian, with the bulk of the remainder being Turkic Azeris in the northwest, Kurds in the West, and Lurs in the southwest. The Kurds are used to statelessness, and Iraq's Kurds even refused a state two decades ago. The Azeris? Who knows — maybe Iran would prefer to join up with their brethren in post-Soviet Azerbaijan.
Radical Islam helped keep Iran together following the fall of the Shah in 1978, but Islam ain't what it used to be in the Islamic Republic. Historian — and mandatory X follow — Edward Luttwak noted on Sunday that "Iran is more than 50% post-Islamic, as its empty mosques attest." Two years ago, All Arab News reported: "Mohammad Abolghassem Doulabi, a senior cleric for Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, delivered a speech to a group of religious students in which he stated that 50,000 of Iran’s 75,000 mosques have closed their doors."
If post-Ayatollah Iran requires a binding agent to hold its disparate ethnic groups together, Islam — even a kinder, gentler version — might not be it.

I'm not a huge fan of Nate's analysis, but I find his takes sometimes more of what normie reality will be, instead of what I think pure law should have through analysis (like Branca). Barnes talks a big game, and I like what his ultimate vision of what the Founder's intended is, but he's a bit out of touch with reality and he's a bit too blustery.

One, you may be able to convert them them to a more healthy life and that's cool to see the lights go on, and
Two, even if you can't convert them cuz they prefer to be stupid about their health, they're probably there for pain which means they're probably going to drop 3K or so into your pocket, which is always nice.

It was a nightmare. He came to in the middle of the night with a bunch of tubes coming out of him and he went into "escape" mode.
He was a big and very strong man and my Mom and I struggled wildly to keep him down on the bed. It was the middle of the night and the nurses couldn't find the keys to the narc locker. It took them half an hour to sedate him.
I kept an eye on my PSA and it went up more than a little one year so I had a biopsy. Elected the radiation.
My urologist was a surgeon and he said, off the record that was a good choice.
Two months of lying on a slab for 20 minutes listening to a symphony of industrial noises every weekday zorched it.

My interpretation of this word salad is, "There's a subset of Male to Female trannies who aren't a danger to women in sport. You're grouping them all together, which appears to be a category error. What's your response?"
My response would be, "Nope, they're all a danger to women. No category error has been made."

Scott lived his life to the fullest, and did the most he could to help those around him with the tools he was given.

This is very common among that type of narcissism.
Whatever they do, they are enough to justify it.
If they do something that could be seen as wrong, that's the fault of somebody else, perhaps somebody who "did worse" (including by interpretation as "worse") or somebody who started it. "Trump is the one initiating the violence!"
But before they come to that they have this: *They* are not that kind of person! Even if they made a video of themselves aping Charlie being shot in the neck and laughing, that's not *really* who they are--they are just making a point because of how bad they have convinced themselves Charlie was. Conservatives need to be taken down a peg.
And so on.
And it's all accompanied with torturous "logic" to come to the assessments that "justify" their behavior.

Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.
I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims "Derrrrr... you don't even know what fascism is!" So let's explore fascism a little, shall we?
Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2025:
1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information (i.e., so-called "disinformation").
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mass media.
5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda. (See: Leni Riefenstahl; Walt Disney Corporation.)...cont.

IF you should happen to try to add Chia seeds to your diet (Omega 3, Fiber, lots of god trace minerals) DO NOT follow the advice you might somewhere online to add dry seeds directly to food to make a 'Crunchy option.'
This is a bad idea.
Wet it down. Water or oil. The seeds are like rice and they absorb a lot of liquid. If you do not wet them down, they will absorb the liquid, just inside you. And will be uncomfortable while they do it.
Also, start small.

We just lived thru a period where people were arrested for being alone in the forest or at the beach, where the definition of "vaccine" was corrupted beyond repair, where perfectly healthy kids were subjected to experimental "medicine", where nurses danced to tell us to stay away from each other and THEN danced to tell us all to go meet in public at civil rights protests, and where perfectly fine 40 and 50 and 60 year old people started having cancers out of nowhere a handful of months or a year or two after taking garbage "medicine".
Its not as simple as pretending going to the doctors is just as straight forward as going to get an oil change.

It's sad that by her own actions, which she had numerous opportunities to stop before she escalated it too far by accelerating her vehicle into a cop, whether it was intentional or accidental, she caused her own death and the mourning of many people, including her children, who will miss her for the remaining days of their lives.

Adams voiced what was possibly the most important and foundational message of our times: Around blacks, never relax.
Even though he spoke the truth, was only talking about a subset of the demographic, and even though he paid the ultimate professional price for it, he was completely in in utterly right about the social situation in America in the early part of the new millennium

2. Do not underestimate the left's obscene willingness to offer up blood sacrifices for their base. Today it was Renee Good, tomorrow it will be someone else and in November it will be someone else.

His Golden Globes best actor win was celebrated by sharing a number of Instagram snaps on Monday, one of which featured his billionaire mogul girlfriend's, 28, hand.

NYT had a infographic of wins in court in 2025, Trump has won at the district court level about 25 percent of the time, at the appellate, a little over 50 percent, at Scotus, in the mid 80's.
I think what you are seeing is that the uniparty is desperate and getting more so. The scope of the looting is so vast and the hits keep coming that the recourse of the Dems and corrupt GOPe is to try to stall for time to get away, to destroy evidence, and to avoid public anger. That is what the district courts are doing for them.
In addition, the deportations are beginning to bite and weaken the Dem electoral fraud and vote buying schemes so they are frantic to shore that up for 2026 elections by any means possible. Including getting people shot to rally the troops.

When someone hates themselves, they tend to hate outwards as well. Depression is actually rage directed at oneself and it is really easy to deflect some of that rage against other people.

They submitted an eight-page legal letter laying out why they considered the subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable,” then followed up with a scorching missive that they signed jointly, promising to fight Mr. Comer on the issue for as long as it took.
In the letter, the Clintons noted that they had proactively provided Mr. Comer with sworn statements similar to ones he had accepted from seven or eight other former law enforcement officials he had also subpoenaed and then excused from testifying before the committee. The Clintons have repeatedly said they have no knowledge relevant to the investigation.”

USA has no ability to repay its debt. GOP gets support because they keep government from being able to stop the grift and deal with billionaires and their tax and crimes.
GOP will not allow DEM to pay it down, they will have wars and tax-reductions for wealthy people if there is any surplus. It is a miracle that the debt is getting the current level of service.
Has Trump taken any steps to reduce inflation? Sure, gas is slightly cheaper, but inflation is worse and health insurance just doubled. My business income was down 20% last year. Am I missing something?
Prices are only down because OPEC decided to flood the market in prep for the coming recession, or the one we are already in that the government won't release the economic numbers on, not anything Trump did.
Inflation was between 2 and 3% for the second half of the Biden admin, and it's stayed there for Trump. He had no impact. He promised to reduce prices to 2019 levels! A ridiculous promise. Midterms are coming.

And Nobel Prize winners in economics, sadly.

In the declaration, titled the “Anti-Tariff Statement,” Nobel laureates James Heckman and Vernon Smith, along with hundreds of scholars and researchers, criticize the notion that tariffs promote “economic liberation.” Instead, they argue that tariffs undermine the liberal economic principles that fueled decades of American prosperity.
Earlier, you had a bunch of Nobel Prize winners in economics explaining that Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act" would reduce inflation. (In fact, inflation skyrocketed, of course.)
Most of economics has been captured by the Left, along with everything else.

When someone reaches the point of being suicidal, some figure why not take someone with me and have a cop put me out of my misery.
If not at the point of being suicidal, then adding victims to the list is not an option generally.
And there are other ways that depression can sabotage such as losing the will to live, losing oneself in substance abuse, or accepting large risks with fatalism.
So getting competent help for it whether religious therapy, talk therapy, or even prescribed drugs actually saves lives.
It is never necessary to live that way and people can be helped. But the anger must go.

Mrs. Meta took me out to dinner to celebrate my pending retirement. We went to an expensive fish house I enjoy. Most entrees are in the $50 range. With cocktails and wine, you're not getting out of there for less than three bills. Every table was booked and the bar was three deep. We were also out and about a few weeks ago and stopped to grab a bite at a local reasonably priced bistro. Again, place was full - on a Wednesday in early Jan. People may bitch about the price of groceries, but it hasn't affected spending; at least in SE PA.

I stopped going out to dinner a lot when covid shut everything down. Then when everything reopened, I just never got back in the habit of eating out.
But the restaurants are packed, from the most expensive to the cheapest. Try getting a reservation at any of these $400+ a plate places.

No. I am not aware of any 5.56 less lethal cartridges. Usually cops using less lethal firearms use shotguns with a variety of different solutions. The stocks are often orange etc. so that the cops do not mistake the live from the less lethal.
But police have a continuum of force while civilians do not. Less lethal does not mean not lethal even with tasers. People can and do die with less lethal.
So because regular citizens do not have qualified immunity, best to simply stick with deadly force and avoidance instead of trying to retaliate with just x+1 force escalation. Blessed are the peacemakers in most interpersonal conflicts using de escalation tactics. Doing so makes it difficult to portray someone as blood thirsty when they are retreating and walking away from incitements to fight over stupid matters.
I would only use less lethal if in a jurisdiction or place where I could not carry a firearm. Travel to a firearm unfriendly area is another reason. Buy some pepper spray, etc. at the destination, discard or ship home prior to leaving.

The idea of tasing a car is idiotic. Driver made it into car versus cop so the only way for the cop to survive is kill the car's brain--the driver. I am guessing that the first shot through the windshield was the fatal one as the only target that the officer probably saw from that angle was the head and neck. Probably a CNS shot.

Speaking as someone who's gone 6+ years without so much as a cost-of-living, until that changes, the economy sucks for me.
There's some unusual, not strictly economic forces that have been interfering with wage and employment issues for large swathes of the economy for an extended period of time. Until those get rooted out and people see some improvements in their situations, inflation may be down and the stock market up, but when groceries are still too expensive and you can't afford housing without cutting back on necessities, is the economy really that good?
We scoff at "perception is reality" at our peril.

It's just about taking money from Americans and giving it to foreigners so they can damage the President's agenda.
It would be the perfect order for Trump to openly defy. There's no way to justify this to the public.

In my hometown, there was a case where a burglar broke into a small mom and pop shop. All the cash was gone but there was a big bag of pennies so the burglar took that. Unbeknownst to the burglar, the bag had a hole in it. So a trail of pennies led to the trailer where the burglar lived and the dude was still sleeping in when the cops came to his door and arrested him. The mom and pop had a trailer park behind the store and one of those trailers is where the burglar lived.

Like the "Great Resignation" or the "Big Quit," primarily from early 2021 thru 2022 when the Obamacare subsidies went into place, there are still help wanted signs all over the place, including for leisure and hospitality, construction, and healthcare. So what? They want paid healthcare, big opportunities, pay, and work-life balance.
BTW, now our fabulous diners are closing. They've stocked their back kitchens & cleaning services with the undocumented for many years & have loved the minimal salaries paid, but now they're cashing out after years of ownership & hard work and taking what's theirs.

Musk stated on X that Democrats are flooding the U.S. with illegal immigrants and handing them welfare to win elections, pointing to Omar as an “obvious example” of this phenomenon. In response, Omar accused Musk, without evidence, of being dumb and told him he should have no place in U.S. society.

No time. Have you actually watched the cop's own body cam doing a 360 inspection. He had his phone out and was videoing the car for evidence. Driver had been harassing ICE all day and that is why the officer did a 360, checking the car for identifying marks, license plate number, etc. All the while Becca the bitch was yelling at the cop while he was trying to document evidence (needed for any obstruction charge). You see the officer literally drop the phone at the instant the driver guns for him (and she does gun--car analysis shows 0-7mph acceleration in a second more than enough to injure. In addition, the streets themselves were slippery, you can see ICE agents visibly slipping on the literal ice. Then you have the other officer with his hand in the vehicle trying to stop her.
Officer made a split second call and he made the right call legally and morally. Suicide by cop and stupidity. At every step in of the process where she could have deescalated, she did not and if you watch, you can literally see her rack up more and more crimes until she did a lethal assault on an officer. She died for it.

"After reading on the HQ that Rhea has Pointy elbows, Mars makes a grab for one."
Posted by: naturalfake at January 13, 2026 09:34 AM (iJfKG)
"Rhea (or Rea) Silvia . . . also known as Ilia (as well as other names) was the mythical mother of the twins Romulus and Remus, who founded the city of Rome.
Rhea was a Vestal Virgin who became pregnant with the twins after being raped by the god Mars; after giving birth, they were taken from her and raised by a she-wolf."
So the kids here are Romulus and Remus? They look like toddlers, not newborns.
Plus, if Rhea was a Vestal Virgin, the fate of being buried alive no doubt awaited her. Unless the society made an exception seeing that the sire was Mars.

The Story Behind the Artwork
Rubens’ "Mars and Rhea Silvia" vividly illustrates a scene from Roman mythology where Mars, the god of war, seduces* Rhea Silvia, a Vestal Virgin. This union would result in the birth of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.
(* or raped, as was the custom of the day, lol)
The painting brims with Baroque dynamism and sensuality, capturing the intensity of the moment while highlighting Rubens’ masterful use of movement, color, and emotion.
The intertwining figures, bold contrasts, and mythological elements reflect Rubens’ talent for dramatizing classical stories with a mix of passion and grandeur.

Symbolism and Details
Mars (Left):
Clad in armor and draped in a striking red cloak, Mars symbolizes power, aggression, and seduction. His assertive posture embodies divine dominance.
Rhea Silvia (Right):
Draped in soft white and gold, Rhea Silvia appears hesitant and vulnerable, representing purity and human frailty in contrast to Mars’ godly force.
Cupid Figures:
Playful cherubs, symbols of love and desire, flank the scene, emphasizing the romantic yet transgressive nature of the encounter.
The Altar and Fire:
The burning altar symbolizes divine involvement and the sacred duty Rhea Silvia abandons in succumbing to Mars.
Mythological Sphinxes:
The carved sphinxes represent mystery and the enigmatic union of mortal and divine forces.

So - what origin story do they come up with for their soldier-farmer society whose first generations were produced by women taken as spoils of war?
Naturally, the god of war seduces a horny nun, who is condemned to live burial by her priest, so the river god intervenes and spares her life, but she abandons her children, who are also saved by the river god and rise to greatness after being nursed by an alpha predator, at which point one murders the other for talking smack.
They were definitely hardasses.

Signed into law 12-21-2025.
Puerto Rico Recognizes the Unborn as Legal Persons
Puerto Rico has enacted Senate Bill 504, a landmark law recognizing unborn children as legal persons from conception.
Signed into law by Governor Jenniffer González Colón, the measure amends the island’s Civil Code to grant unborn children legal personality, allowing for protections such as:
• Eligibility for insurance coverage
• Inheritance rights (effective upon birth)
• Legal representation in specific circumstances
The bill passed both chambers of Puerto Rico’s legislature with strong majorities and took effect immediately.
Pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life, praised the move as a historic step toward protecting human life at its earliest stage.
Supporters say the law affirms a foundational principle: life begins at conception and carries inherent dignity and legal recognition.

These figures are unconfirmed estimates by the outlet. Data from the US-based rights organization HRANA confirms the deaths of 646 people since the outbreak of the demonstrations last month.

Saw "The Housemaid" this week courtesy of th lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake.
So...have you ever had the misfortune to read "Jane Eyre"? (Those Bronte sisters have a lot to answer for!)
Well, if you have, then you'll recognize within the first 5-10 minutes that "The Housemaid" is essentially a DEI reclamation of the main plot of "Jane Eyre".
Crazy wife? Check, but is she really crazy?
Isolated room at the top of the stairs with a door that only locks from the outside.
Glamorous husband who loyally sticks with "crazy" wife.
Young, strong minded Housemaid who becomes the love interest of husband.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
"The Housemaid" flips the roles around to get to a revenge flick for modern women that weirdly brings "Saw" into the mix.
Well-made but predictable from practically the first frame. Good acting. Crisp direction. Had the ladies in the audience well-hooked.
Not my kind of thing, but if it sounds like you'd enjoy it, you will.

Holy smokes. I'm looking at about 450% appreciation over 6 years. Not too shabby. I'm not ready to sell any yet, but at some point, I'm gonna want to take some profits. Some of my bullion at least. Not my rare coins.
Problem is I've never sold any before, and from my research thus far, it seems even big dogs like APMEX are charging extortionate premiums, and it only gets worse with smaller dealers.
What's the best way to seek out private buyers? I can give a small discount under spot, the buyer can avoid his own premiums altogether, and I could drastically reduce the first haircut I take before Uncle Sam rapes me violently on the long-term capital gain.
Everybody wins but the dealers - i just have no clue how to find buyers.

Far too high price jump in a very short period of time. 160 percent in one year. That means mfgs are going to be substituting other goods for silver which can be done in most cases.
Apparently EVs and Solar electronics are driving this train which are both likely to have softening demand.
And silver is not typically a hedge for inflation, gold is. I think this is a momentum investment which can turn south at any moment just like the meme stocks were previously (Gamestop anyone?) based on analysis of shorts and longs.
And a lot of silver production which is a byproduct of lead and other metal production is likely to come on line as separation was not economically viable at 20-40 bucks but becomes so at 80.
You can always tell when the market is driven by momentum as no fundamentals are considered, only price of the asset.

Oh, I'm specifically looking to avoid them. Those chiselers are charging in the neighborhood of 20+% right now. Just silly numbers. The excuse is of course, volatility.

Next, many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go,' Miles continued. 'I am not a believer, but I have to admit the risk reward calculation for doing so looks so attractive to me.
So, here I go. I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven."

You can always tell when the market is driven by momentum as no fundamentals are considered, only price
==
In some corners of the internet there are people who are claiming silver will go to 10,000. The meme being there is not enough silver to cover the contracts snd when things go to a precious metal standard (dont ask me why) viola it will bid up the price to cover. I have heard this from several gullible souls. They all fail to conceive that when grammies silverware becomes worth 50,000 how quickly the markt will flood. But more seriously, the rising price stimulates production that is now viable for profit. It will go to 100 maybe 200 max. Wont last. Try jewlery stores with signs that say we buy gold.

Stupid people doing stupid things in stupid places. Trifecta of stupid that law enforcement does not carry loaded weapons when confronting illegal criminals resistant to being taken into custody.
Most of the minds of the left protesters are full of mush fed to them by social media which relies on distorted and idiotic agit prop from the media and politicians on the left.
So the rumor is going around the social media circuit that ICE is NOT a law enforcement agency nor can they arrest American citizens. Both of these are foolish and stupid positions but that is what comes about when agit-prop and politicians seek to de-legitimize law enforcement.

Worst possible choice. If you're going to sell to a dealer, go to the big dogs. They're charging much lower premiums.

Peter Paul Rubens
Date: c.1620
Style: Baroque
Genre: mythological painting
Media: oil, canvas
The painting based on myth: Rape in which twins were conceived of a virgin but King Amulius ordered the children to be abandoned in the Tiber River to drown. Tiberinus the river god intervened by calming the waters so the basket carrying the twins (Romulus and Remus) washed ashore.
First strike against the painting: IMHO, a more violent, unsettling twist on the birth of Moses, saved by the Pharaoh's daughter who eventually raised him as her son. (Exodus, Old Testament)
In part, "Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket[a] for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it..."
Second strike: Playful cherubs, symbols of love and desire, flank the scene, emphasizing the "romantic yet transgressive nature" of the encounter.
No, they don't, they aren't. I detest the little chubbies.
Despite it's value, I would pass on hanging.
Thanks.

Sorry, you don't understand what is going on AT ALL. What is driving the silver price up are the following fundamentals: 1. Silver consumption has exceeded Silver supply for the past 5 consecutive years. 2. You can't build modern processing chips without the conductivity of silver. Example: A Tomahawk cruise missile has 500 oz of silver in its guidance system, and that silver is turned into unrecoverable vapor each time one is used. 3. Because the banks held silver price down artificially by short selling for years, they are now required to cover their gigantic short positions or go bankrupt, and there is no silver available to cover their shorts. 4. China is waging a commodity war with the US by cutting off Chinese silver from the Western market. 5: Silver has always come out of the ground at a 16 : 1 ratio with gold - now it is coming out of the ground at a 7 : 1 ratio. All the rich veins of silver are simply gone.

The Morning Report — 1/13/26
Iranian demonstrators set mosques ablaze during heated protests against the country’s Islamic government, according to local video and reports this weekend. Protesters in Iran have set numerous fires since the riots broke out Dec. 28, with Tehran’s fire department claiming as many as 34 mosques were burned, according to multiple outlets. One video verified by NBC News showed a crowd cheering Friday night while a Tehran mosque became engulfed in flames. (RELATED: ‘Death To America’ Radical Complains She Got Detained By Customs After Iran Trip) The mass uprising reportedly began in response to economic woes but follows months of instances of women shedding their mandatory headwear in a statement against the country’s forced Islamic norms. Another video posted by Reuters showed a mob vandalizing the Abuzar Mosque in Tehran on Thursday, scattering furniture and laying incendiary devices. The Iranian regime has massacred hundreds while clamping down on the disorder, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists in Iran reports, according to The New York Post. President Donald Trump on Jan. 2 hinted at possible military action if Iran kills protesters, leading to a social media duel with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the following days that involved the ayatollah posting an image of Trump in a coffin. Trump previously bombed multiple Iranian nuclear facilities amid conflict with Israel, marking the most overt U.S. military operation against the regime in years.
So, okay, why do I find this interesting and telling? Considering that Iran is a majority Muslim nation and that its government since 1979 has been a Muslim theocracy based on the strict tenets of Sharia law, that mosques are being torched by the protesters at the very least underscores a disaffection with the aforementioned. And admittedly, here is where I might be stretching things but nevertheless I am going to formulate a bit of an hypothesis and make an assumption. Remember that the self-styled cognoscenti, elite and thought leaders have unceasingly been hocking a tchainik over our heads here in America and the west that Islam is a religion of peace and to dare even question that would be Islamophobic, bigoted and racist, etc. etc. ad nauseam. Well then if that is the case then how to explain the Iranian Muslim "street" rising up and torching their own houses of worship if the shibboleths about Islam and Sharia as paragons of peace and moral order are as we have been forced to accept under pain of being labeled a racist xenophobe Islamophobe for defiance of that. I'm sure the usual excuses will be given that just like the true believers who took down the World Trade Center were "extremists" who bastardized the true meaning of Islam or were Israeli Mossad agents or even Americans sent in by President Trump or both if you're Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. But that of course is nonsense. So, here's my take. It tells me that the Persian/Iranian people have taken to the streets not merely to replace the Muallhs with other Mullahs. They recognize it's the entire system that is corrupt, inept, destructive and lethal to their thriving as a functioning and advancing society. Prior to 1979, Iran was a modern, flourishing and western-oriented (politically and culturally) nation. And that is still within living memory of many Iranians and it is something that the younger generations are desperate to return to. Here's where maybe I'm stretching things a bit and quite possibly wish-casting — Look at Iran's history prior to 1979, the excesses of the Shah and Mossadegh notwithstanding, ask any average Iranian expat and they'll tell you that life under them was paradise compared to what Khomeini and his successors wrought. Now look at present day Turkey through that lens. A secular, modern, society thanks to Kemal Ataturk and turned into an Islamic thugocracy through the tyrannical rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP since 2002. Could what's happening in Iran spread to Turkey? On the down side, you'll recall the 2011 "Arab Spring" demonstrations that led to the downfall of a number of Arab Islamic governments primarily in North Africa but instead of resulting in the rise of small "D" democratic forces led to the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region and its malign influence in the ensuing years. Lest we forget that Afghanistan at one time was also a fairly modern society until the coming of the Taliban and then of course the Soviet Invasion and later our insane Democracy Project in the wake of 9/11 and Gulf War 2. Result, over 3,000 American soldiers dead, Taliban still there and weaponized courtesy of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants snap bug-out of 2020 with untold numbers of Afghani jihadists here in our country given political asylum.
In any case, the Cliff Notes version of the above is, I suppose, I'm wondering can Islam reform itself? That is is what we are witnessing in Iran a scintilla of hope that we are not doomed for all time to face an existential threat from the followers of Mohammed Then again, the bitter irony is that as Teheran and Istanbul duke it out over which one gets to be the capital of a global caliphate, or perhaps both turning a new leaf and experiencing an enlightenment and rebirth as paragons of western civilization, Europe and the West become the axis upon which a reenergized and even more virulent Islam rotates. When the #1 baby name in England and other nations is Mohammed, the future doesn't look so bright. And while mosques may be burning in Iran, Yet another synagogue went up in flames. This time in of all places Jackson, Mississippi:
Federal prosecutors say the man accused of torching Mississippi’s oldest and largest synagogue admitted he selected the building because of its connection to Judaism. Authorities arrested a suspect, Stephen Spencer Pittman, Saturday night. Investigators said an intentionally set fire gutted Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Miss. Federal prosecutors said Monday that the man charged with torching the synagogue admitted he targeted the building because of its “Jewish ties,” after police arrested him at a hospital where he was treated for burn injuries from the early-morning fire, according to The New York Times. Investigators identified Pittman after his father contacted the FBI and reported that his son had confessed to starting the fire, according to an affidavit filed in federal court Monday. Location data from a tracking app running on Pittman’s cellphone reinforced that account, showing him leaving his home in a Jackson suburb, stopping at a gas station to buy fuel, and then driving directly to the synagogue. . . Prior to this incident, another high-profile attack targeted a synagogue in Manchester, England, where a man killed two people outside the building, highlighting broader security concerns surrounding Jewish houses of worship. The suspect, Jihad al-Shamie, was reportedly free on bail at the time of the synagogue attack after previously facing an alleged rape charge.
Synagogues are connected to Judaism? Wow, I'm shocked. Maybe he should've targeted the Weather Channel for a twofer, after all Jews control the weather and the media, nein? In all seriousness, where did this bastard get the notion to torch a synagogue and attack Jews? Meh, where did the now deceased Renee Good get it in her head to use her SUV to try and ram ICE agents?

We're not perfect, but I'd like to think we're close to the ideal clients for our vet. We take good care of our guys. They're easy for them to work with. They receive regular shots and exams. If there's a problem, it's an organic one and not a result of our ownership. We can describe and discuss things intelligently and follow instructions. And if the worse happens, we face up to it and do the right thing for them.

I’m not at all confident that Islam can reform itself. And I say this as a guy who probably my closest friend for 30+ years is a Muslim. I love the guy like a brother and we’ve done a lot together through the years…. But one individual is not representative; he’s the exception to the rule. Look around the world at Muslim majority countries or even in this country where they become dominant in a locale (ahem… Minneapolis, Dearborn) the results are not good. Burning mosques in Iran is definitely a good sign. I’m just not sure despite my own personal experience there’s anything such as a moderate Muslim

There was the big ranging pen for a bison herd on both sides of I-70 uphill from Denver. A big tunnel underneath the Interstate let them travel back and forth and shelter from bad weather. Impressive they were to see -- especially when you read the sign on the fence warning you not to approach the fence too closely. . . .

Posted by: SMOD at January 13, 2026 08:14 AM (r5p5k)
1.) Don't say anything further. No more threats. Lend whatever support possible without it being overt. Let this unfold. Worst case scenario is the protests fail, status quo ante is restored, but with an even further weakened regime. Some embarrassment over the big talk Trump’s already been making, but this is the best option.
2.) Intervene. Make it fast and brutal, overthrow the regime, and start the process of a proxy war with China for control of Persia. I hate this option, but he may well have painted us into this corner already.
3.) The very worst, stupidest option: negotiate, betray the opposition he's heretofore supported, rescue the regime, and utterly destroy whatever credibility we may have regained as a serious world power. The Vance option is the plan of an idiot. He needs to be flatly ignored, and perhaps publicly ordered to STFU.

It isn’t a rural urban divide per se. The Sheriff is the highest elected official in most every county. They have enormous authority and latitude, if they choose to exercise it. They want to de-fang this authority, at least until they can infiltrate with reliable, left wing apparatchiks. Same playbook as they use with any other pillar of effective governance. But yeah, a good Sheriff is not in line with left wing control, not even a little bit. That’s why they hate them. Again, at least until they can infiltrate and gut the institution, and wear its skin as a suit, and demand respect.

Mayor Mamdani 'outraged' after New York City Council employee detained by ICE on Long Island
"I want to be very clear: 1. There is no indication that there's anything about this individual other than his immigration status that caused him to be arrested," [\b]he said during Monday's press briefing.
However, the Department of Homeland Security responded in statement, saying the employee had no work authorization, is a "a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and an employee of New York's City Council," 2. and that his criminal history includes an arrest for assault.
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said that the employee "entered the United States on a B2 tourist visa in 2017 that required him to depart the U.S by October 22, 2017," and 3. "had no legal right to be in the United States."

Except that the story makes no sense. The VP has no foreign policy function, other than doing whatever the President asks him to do. It’s possible that this is some good cop/bad cop game, we know Trump likes that. It’s also possible that this story is a complete fabrication by the usual suspects who have been running a quiet campaign against Vance for months now.
And they do that because they are scared to attack Trump openly, and their attacks on Hegseth, RFK Jr and others have failed.

They really believed their geriatric cadre, collection of danger hairs, and paid protestors was 1) somehow going to deceive the public as organic 2) was over 3.5% of the populace.

We found that nearly one-third of Americans surveyed—and around half of those identifying as left-of-center—believe that the murder of certain public figures is at least somewhat justified. The figures are startling: 38 percent of respondents, and 55 percent of those left of center, said assassinating President Trump would be at least somewhat justified; 31 percent of respondents, and 48 percent of those left of center, said the same about Musk.

Has there ever, in the history of US politics, a case where not just the SoS, but any cabinet member stays on for another POTUS term?
I think they all resign at the end of the term. Recycled Secretaries usually sit out several terms.

Some senior administration aides, led by Vice President JD Vance, are urging Trump to try diplomacy before retaliating against Iran for killing protesters during a two-week uprising over a flailing economy and regime repression, the officials said."

Yeah, they're more than a little whacky in the Pittsburgh area, nevertheless, it can't hold a candle to Philly.

'Strong Message,' Black Panther Party members make presence known in Philly amid federal crackdowns.
'Pushing back on holding pattern,' Philly's federal judges have found Trump's mandatory detention policy unlawful.
'DOJ: Sorry, you're cut off,' Trump's team nixed funding to violence prevention groups (Aside, but that doesn't mean that, at the minimum, they're not receiving other funding including, but not limited to, via other NPs and Opiate Drug Settlement funding from Philly & the ring counties.)

With that in mind, here is the ugly truth: America's racial hierarchy will assuredly seek justice for Good. And while I hate that she senselessly lost her life at the hands of here government, and was demonized by the president and his cabinet members, I am nonetheless hopeful for change.
If this brutal incident wakes Americans to the danger of this moment, Renee Good did not lose her life in vain."

Recall little sympathy for Ashli Babbitt outside of "Deplorables" & some conservative press. But the conditioning of a general population to adopt programs (Black Liberation Movement) IS real.
It's not the government trying to capture the worse, most dangerous illegals, it's racial prejudice. It's not people brought to this country on refugee status (beginning 1992) & continuing under the terrible, uncontrollable Temporary Protected Status program, & so many of them robbed the state's & nation's coffers quickly and deeply. It's racial prejudice. Black & brown.
Intersectionality.

Dashad "Sage" Smith, a 19-year-old Black transgender woman was last seen on November 20, 2012, in downtown Charlottesville, VA. Four years later, the case was reclassified as a homicide, drawing increased attention to the unsolved case and issues surrounding missing trans individuals.
A atmosphere of ever increasing racial and social tension in Charlottesville and, eventually, displays of white nationalism and counter protesting until a 'White woman' was killed and many imprisoned including one who is serving two life sentences for murder and hate crimes. (Deliberately driving his car into a crowd of counter protesters, killing the lady and injuring dozens.)
Little is coincidental.

Daily Tech News 13 January 2026
Top Story
- With support for Windows 10 ending last October, user numbers for Windows 11 climbed to an all time high. Which was only to be expected.
Less expected was that the numbers for Windows 11 have been dropping ever since. (MSN)
Over the last two months Windows 11 has fallen from 53.7% of the PC market to a very slim majority at 50.7%, with Windows 10 growing from 42.7% to 44.7%, and most of the remainder going to Windows 7, which came out all the way back in 2009.
This is not particularly good news for Microsoft.
Tech News
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is deeply hurt by all the negative opinions of AI. (Tom's Hardware)
He has no mouth and he must whine.
- A quantitative analysis of the cost of overreliance on AI advice. (Science Direct)
A very dry paper, but in short decision makers tend to over-rely on AI advice even when it directly contradicts available empirical data. And this was in the context of an iterated prisoner's dilemma scenario, where optimal strategies are simple and well-known.
- With contract prices for DRAM rising 70% and NAND flash by 100%, memory now accounts for 20% of the cost of a mobile phone. (WCCFTech)
Which is not all that much.
- Amazon bought a Bee. (Tech Crunch)
Bee makes a wearable AI thing, which is to say, useless overpriced junk.
- VMWare ESXi has a -365 day vulnerability. (Bleeping Computer)
If a zero-day vulnerability is one that must be fixed immediately because it is open to instant exploitation, what do you call one that has been actively exploited for a year before the developers notice?

Still recovering from a cold that knocked me out last week. Just down to mucus and deafness in the right ear, so probably a few more days before I feel completely better. I do have to create a few Sunday Book Threads, since I've been asked to do it once per month, and I'm so lazy I need to bank a pile of them now.
29 days until I finally retire, unless there's a bolt out of the blue to screw my plans.

I would think the legality of AI voice recording and transcription problematic when viewed through US Federal and state privacy laws. Of course the user, not the device, would be the potential violator but how to enforce is unimaginable (to me).

About a decade back, when I was taking a multi-day training course in scouts, one of the exercises was a game meant to teach that a course of cooperative behavior led to the highest score across all parties in the game.
It backfired spectacularly to the point where some folks were brought to the edge of coming to blows over how the teams were playing the game. It made for an uncomfortably tense and accusatory reflections' period when the exercise ended.

As I have for a long time been dismissive of experts touting their academic credentials as the only necessary and sufficient cause to not consider any other options (e.g., the climate cultists), I dismiss any societal course of action blessed by experts as likely being a perfect predictor of the worthlessness of said course of action.

Who else besides me utterly hated January as a kid? Aside from cold weather, rain, and snow, I mean? We'd just had the long Christmas-New Year break, and had no school holidays to look forward to until probably Easter - and even then another two months until summer vacation. A long slog of classes, homework, wait for the bus in snow and rain, and repeat until the blessed weekend. Here, at least, we had the two days Monday and Tuesday for Mardi Gras as a short break; but it wasn't enough.

That's a lot of hungover tech journalists who made a New Year's resolution to dump Windows for Linux and then write endless stories stories about it, and if you, their reader, wasn't such a schlub, you'd drop that gas station burrito and do what they did.
That or Redmond Washington is destined to become a chernobyl-like ghost town of abandoned McMansions and Indian restaurants.
Windows 10 was released in 2015 and in 2019, four years later, it's market share was 54.62%. Windows 11 was released in 2021 and 4 years later it's market share was 50.7%. If Windows 11 is still in decline, a year or two after the extended Windows 10 support is ended, well, now that's a story. But for now it seems premature to write stories about the imminent demise of Windows.
Until then, one journalist's experience making the leap to Linux.

Users look up their application to check compatibility, and see that it's only supported on Windows 11. They conclude that they can't get it running on Linux properly (or don't want to figure out how.) This is probably the largest hurdle to Linux being adopted wide-scale.
If someone creates a distribution that:
a) Installs over top of an existing Windows installation
b) Preserves the user's applications/programs AND DATA
c) Preserves the user environment as closely as possible
d) Offers an operational GUI comfortably close to Windows (Kind of like Cinnamon on Linux Mint has done)
e) Runs the user's applications flawlessly
f) Runs installers for applications intended to be installed on Windows with no hiccups or issues
Microsoft, knowing it would shortly be doomed to obsolescence, would counter with attempts to:
1) Make all applications they made (or were partners in making) impossible to function on Linux (something similar was done in past with preventing Windows 3.1 from running on DR DOS)
2) Sue everyone for everything (lawfare.)

On the other hand, Linux is perfectly viable as long as you're willing to accept that many of the key applications are not available without workarounds, at best, and all the baggage that comes with that. If Adobe was to port their products to run on Linux, that would be a major milestone. Don't hold your breath. Same for Office or what other goofy name Microsoft is calling it these days. Then there's apps like Autodesk. With Google about to replace Chrome OS with a desktop version of Android makes Linux getting traction even more difficult.
And with all that said, Linux works for many millions of users in multitudes of ways. And if that user is somebody that spends most of their time in a browser, which is many of us anymore, the platform is somewhat irrelevant. That is until you go to an Apple store and yell Linux at the top of your lungs and promptly get tackled by the security guards.

Dexcom is no help at all and says if the phone app won't work you can use their remote reader, which only works within range of the sensor, not a mile away like we are.
The main reason we got Dexcom is for that feature. Checking on the internet I see lots of people have the same problem. Many can't afford to buy two new phones (server and client) just to accommodate the Dexcom app. It sucks. It should work on a phone as common as the S14 and has in the past, but not anymore.

And with all that said, Linux works for many millions of users in multitudes of ways. And if that user is somebody that spends most of their time in a browser, which is many of us anymore, the platform is somewhat irrelevant.

this
the vast majority of (non-gaming) personal computer use is web browsing, e-mail, watching you tube, streaming music / video, & twitter / whatever...all of which can be handled via the browser
I think it's the gaming that's the big hurdle. For every AutoDesk user, there are (probably) thousands of gamers
making the games work in linux (or making linux accommodate the games) is the big challenge. Solve that, and linux becomes a viable first-tier option
they're working on it: one of the gaming platforms, "Steam" I think*, is doing a hand-held game thingy what is linux based

Mint gets recommended because it's polished. It labels every program installed, so you know what they do. It automatically installs your network printer, which Windows or Mac do not do. Yes, you can still get rough distros that have bits that don't work and programs with funny names. Focusing on those discourages people from using Linux.

They really push you to their online web browser based services but you can download the software to your computer and do it offline. But TurboTax has said for the 25 tax year the program will only work on Windows 11. I probably need to switch tax software but don't want to mess with that for 25.

Texas was a majority Democrat state in those days.
I was in third grade, about 8 years old.
The thing I most remember was we were off school, and all the grups were watching TV all weekend. My Dad hated Kennedy, but it was a real national tragedy, made most people pretty sad.
Later in 1964, our class all wrote letters of condolence to Jackie, because it was a class assignment. I think I still have the standard reply letter somewhere, along with pictures of my Mom riding a dinosaur to school.

This is driven entirely by gamers trying to run SteamOs without having to buy a Steam deck. Aside from the usual ricers, they revert to Windows in a month or two because that doesn't work.
>Linux on the desktop has roughly 5 percent market penetration.
It's less than 1%. It's always been less than 1%. People really underestimate how many desktops are out there.
>If someone creates a distribution that: [...]
It took Microsoft decades to get this right with their own operating system, and they charge for it.
>Linux is perfectly viable as long as you're willing to accept that many of the key applications are not available without workarounds, at best
Which means it's not viable at all. No one cares about their OS, they care about their application software. If that doesn't run with minimal irritation they'll punch out in minutes.

This will never be solved, for both economic and technical reasons. For one, this is VHS vs. Beta all over again, and for two, Linux isn't an OS, it's a kernel. No two distributions present the same system API to userland software, nor the same kernel ABI to drivers.
>If that works, why doesn't MS let people install Win 11 on older systems by default?
People spent decades whining about how insecure and vulnerable Windows was, so Microsoft redesigned Windows with security in mind and then people whined that they needed to click on UAC popups and buy better hardware to ensure their system didn't get hit with a BIOS or boot sector virus.
Microsoft does a lot of anti-consumer things, but 99% of whining about Microsoft is just that old Dilbert cartoon: "What the customer wants is better products for free."

Nature never makes any blunders; when she makes a fool she means it.-- Josh Billings It isn't difficult to prepare oneself for most eventualities. Sure, that Chinese missile strike on Los Angeles might put you in a bit of a pickle, or the massive earthquake that shakes half the mountain down on your head will probably cut into your clubbing that night, but for most days? Appropriate footwear, appropriate clothing, water and a bit of food, and a good map in case your phone dies. Personally, I like being armed, but in California that might get you arrested. Oh...you might want to check the weather report too!
The current hysterical news cycle is dominated by a failing attempt to portray Renee Good as some sort of paragon of loving motherhood and sweetness and light. It is the typical trivialization of the human condition that the left is fixated by, and it is an indicator of just how evil they are. Apparently because Good had stuffed animals in her car and had children, she was incapable of trying to run down an ICE officer. Obviously that makes no sense, but is also reminds me of the socialist view of humanity, that we are all just one thing, and completely interchangeable. Well, the Aufseherinnen (female guards) in the Nazi concentration camps mostly led normal lives before they became unspeakably evil. One thing does not prevent the other.
Sorry, but I watched this, so you have to also. I will not suffer alone.

The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop. He asks the assistant, “Do you have European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.” The assistant checks the computer and then says, “Certainly. Would you like to listen before you buy it?” The expert replies, “Of course!” The assistant hands him a pair of earphones and puts the record on a turntable near the counter, and turns it on. The expert listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?” The assistant checks the turntable. “Yes, sir,” he says. “This is the European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. Let me skip ahead to the second track.” Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, “This just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds.” The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle to the next track. As soon as the track starts playing, the expert throws off the headphones. “This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!” The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over. “What seems to be the problem, sir?” The expert turns to him, red-faced and fuming. “This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!” The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly. “I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side.”

I’ve pondered this generally for a while. Generally, I’m not sure there is any teeth in this oath taking business. The courts probably defanged that long ago, there is no legal mechanism, it’s just merely performative art.
Maybe someone with a longer institutional memory like Whig might have some insight on oath taking and whether historically it had teeth. I know the commies had a lot of heartburn with it in the 1950s. The founders certainly thought it important.
As a practical matter I think we’ll see some movement on this front, from several directions. The large city model is in trouble, all of them.
They’ve learned how to make bank on illegal aliens, that much is clear.

In Dec of 96 (Sat or Sun the 20th) I was sent to Rancho to decide if we would buy a company by 12/31.
So we get off the plane on that Sat or Sun and drive to meet the owner and we walk around the place. Around 6 he takes us to his favorite place for dinner.
A JoJos that closed in about 89 and was reopened as a local place.
I put a 50 on the bar and told the bartender to puts a chilled vodka on the bar whereever I walked by.

In my years in the Army, I served with a dozen men and women who were gay. Half of them were kicked out of the Service. Of the others , two were what I would call average troops. The final four I would absolutely want on my team in any future war. Sharp soldiers, smart, and trustworthy. And they kept their proclivities to themselves and it never showed up on duty.

I guess wearing a pin just isn't enough anymore.
-----
Who is Mark Ruffalo?
Yeah, I get it--I'm "supposed" to know. But I know who Leo DiCaprio is, and I know who Brad Pitt is, and I know who Sidney Sweeney is, and I know who Jennifer Lawrence is, and I know who Billy Bob Thorton is. Why does Mark Ruffalo imagine that I give a crap who he is?
Renee Good wasn't good, and was a failed human being because nobody called her out on her bullshit decisions that started long before she decided what she really needed in life was a "wife" and an occupation that involved harassing heavily armed men with a legal mandate. RIP, but I don't want to hear another thing about her.

The usual suspects like to claim “no human is illegal” but that is not the case. They fall into lots of categories but they don’t belong here and they are not immigrants. In recent years illegal aliens is not sufficient to describe. The 9/11/2001 hijackers were largely “visa overstays” - but most accurately described as unlawful enemy combatants
In order to solve a problem it is important to accurately identify and describe the problem.

True. And let's ponder that for a moment. A publication whose mission includes something like "Let's tell people the state of Wall Street" somehow decided..................."Well...perhaps we could focus on other things...and give them the raw Wall Street stats without (real) commentary afterwards."
That's a HELL of a lot of nerve.
Its also a great example of why suing companies board of directors is the most under-used strategies for investors. This is basic level stuff. The Board should have reeled in the Wall Street Journal a very, very, long time ago. All of these once-great companies who let *bullshit* get in the way of their money should have their Boards of Directors sued out of existence.

Old one: a man decides that he's going to try to take some of his fortune with him, so he gets $3 million in cash and gives an envelope containing $1 million each to his doctor, his priest, and his lawyer, with instructions to throw the envelope in his grave when he dies.
After the funeral, the three are in a bar having a drink.
The priest says "I have a confession to make. Our orphanage needs a new roof, a new furnace, and many other repairs, so I threw in only $700,000".
The doctor says "I, too, have a confession. As you all know, I volunteer one of the year in a clinic in Africa. It was in desperate need of a new X-ray machine, so I threw in only $500,000".
The lawyer says "Gentlemen, I am shocked. Shocked! I threw in a check for the full amount."

Iran’s currency collapse is the final non-kinetic phase transition before irreversible regime fragmentation. This is an extinction-level internal systems failure.
Full Coherence Analysis:
1. The currency has entered full reflexive death spiral
•Domestic trust is zero
•International convertibility is zero
•Sovereign backing capacity is zero
2. Structural implications:
•All imports halt immediately (fuel, food, medicine)
•Black market becomes the only functioning economy
•The regime loses control over prices, payrolls, logistics, and loyalty

Iran: if Seal Team Six pops in and blows away the entire Iranian government, yes, that is good.
But the Iranians are moslems. They not only want despots and strongmen, they can't survive without them.
The problem is not Iran. The problem is Islam.

The coaster is most famous for being the 'star' of a tv movie, starring Mike Conners, called, funny enough, 'Death Of Ocean View Park' (1979).
The amusement park was closed/sold, the coaster was old, so taking it down in a movie seemed like a good idea.
On a Friday morning, after slats had been cut and all the charges had been set, the button was pushed. Crowds watched as there was a huge explosion and once the smoke cleared, there stood that rickety dangerous roller coaster, a big fuck you. The crowd cheered.
Over the weekend, they cut more wooden slats, redid the explosives and on Monday did the whole thing again. This time, once the smoke cleared, the roller coaster still stood but ever so slowly collapsed with great dignity.
A sad end to one of the great wooden roller coasters.

Hmmph. A "cretin" came from French, in the Alps region and was used to describe someone suffering from what came to be called "cretinism", which was due to severe iodine deficiency, which caused thyroid problems in infants leading to severe mental retardation and growth.
It was originally used as a term of pity. Another example of the euphemism treadmill. IOW, they called them "cretins" to be nice, but it became a pejorative. Like "retard".

Both die of hypothermia.

Well, frankly I prefer a 30-06 ('cause I don't own a .308 chambered rifle). The 30-06 was good enough for the Garand M-1, Browning automatic rifle, and the .30 cal machine gun, and won WWII (not to mention the M1903 bolt action rifle).
But your mileage may vary. They will all get it done.

That an example of a tactic the lefties use that El Gato Malo was writing about. You annoy the hell out of your opponent to provoke him to violence, without being technically "violent" yourself. Get in his face and be super-annoying somehow. He played a clip of some idiots sprinkling somebody with glitter.
The idea is to provoke the opponent (which could be LEO as well) to violence, which then gives them the "violence against peaceful protesters!" incident to scream about.

The thing to realize is these types of tactics are part of the standard Alinsky playbook. They are trained in this stuff. They call it "putting your enemy in a decision dilemma" and "playing to the audience that isn't there".
You want to provoke the enemy to do something that will look very bad on camera when shown out of context. They are very good and very well trained for this. And the carefully orchestrate things to hide the true context.
That heifer Renee Good and her "wife" were doing this very thing. It may have gone further than she intended, but the idea was to provoke ICE into something that would look bad on camera. The smart-ass taunting is all part of it.

Hey Biden's Dog - how goes? I watched the bit and, meh - the guy's a former Tory who just defected - as in the story just broke. I think it's known that this Tory hack sussed out which way the wind is blowing (or perhaps which side his bread will be buttered on would be a more fitting metaphor). I did not note from the news (which paints him as a total rent-title seeking hack, btw - probably accurate) that he has been given any position in Reform leadership, only that he has changed his affiliation. Why this stooge's defection makes Farage a WEF stooge, I am not sure, but I would expect that a lot of Tory (substitute RINO) hacks will be jumping ship to try and save their phony baloney jobs and graft. The real test for Reform is how many Labour folks they can get to defect, particularly on the voter (not MP) side. I would also note that the vid is from a debate and likely a while back. I will watch Farage closely - but not jarred by this.

re: Red Storm Rising...
I was an engineer in Lockheed Skunk Works, when a hard copy of a book chapter, with a title 'The Frisbees of Dreamland' circulated among us. The book, Red Storm Rising had not been published yet. We had no idea where it had come from, or what it was for.
So, somebody had made sure that chapter was given to the Skunk Works ahead of time, probably to make sure it didn't tread too far.
Tom Clancy had authentic industry help, no question.

She does have lungs and yelled loudly in my ear once a week that I was both stupid, slow and should have anticipated her hunger. She was louder than her siblings combined and very stubborn. Which, during growth spurts,you can't predict bottles. Sometimes she was so po'd her grandfather had to walk her, which we think was the plan all along.

Importing penguins to engage in that savage sport? A crime against penguinanity! Anti-penguinism is the veritable canary in the coal mine. Soon, the same people will be coming for pandas, sea otters, and even dogs and cats.
Meanwhile, the cabal of left-wing billionaires trying to eradicate penguins - including pizza king Getus L. Mazuma and powerful Louisiana restauranteur Hippolyte d’Orleans McGumbo, who are seeking to corner the market in anchovies and sardines, respectively - have been propping up propaganda organ Penguin Facts ever since this outfit lost its communist funding after the collapse of the Soviet Union, as has been related in investigative reports previously published by independent news source, Paco World News Daily (PWND).
Naturally, the Penguin Anti-Communist Organization, the Penguin Action Caucus Online, Penguins Against Cruel Obloquy and other similar-minded rights groups will continue to fight against Spheniscidaphobia whenever and wherever it rears its ugly, and probably bat-faced, head.

My friend had a big birthday party at his house, lotta kids (mostly 6 year olds), and his sister came out to show off her spider monkey. Well the kids were all yelling and grabbing at it, and it got scared so it jumped on top of her head out of their reach, but it started pulling her hair to hang on. So she yelled and started trying to yank the monkey off, but this just made the monkey pull her hair harder while all the kids yelled even louder.
Then we looked up and we saw that monkey so scared that bright yellow streams of monkey pee began running down his sisters face. Total chaos ensued!
That is the first time in my life I remember falling on the ground and laughing until tears came out my eyes.

Oh I know, for the filming they had several F-14As painted up as 202 and 203, the Zero killers. So Bu Nos are a guess at best.
The hero shots showing the front of both F-14s show deviations from standard paint. Need to check notes, but one was completely missing the walkways atop the intakes while the other Tomcat only had a walkway on the left intake.

I have one of the F-14ds in 1/72. It is indeed an exquisite beauty. Detail is very similar to its big brother in 1/48 but some of the parts breakdowns are different.
For example, the intake trunking in 1/72 is one piece slide mold. This kit in its delicate and abundant detail makes the original issue Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A look like a Lindberg kit.

I am not sure you can say the Middle East is 'better' for Israel being there other than essentially it is a western style democracy plopped down in the middle of a bunch of oil robber barons. It is IN the middle east but not OF it and stands as a flash point. Considering the circumstances of its formation, I'd say yes it's creation is a good thing.
Is the Middle East better for it being there. Yes, but if Trump is successful and peels off Iran, things might actually begin to move and wrench the middle East fro. The Arab dominated destiny it has been under for generations.
Just my two cents.

There are a lot of entrenched political types that think they can outlive Trump, but they can't outlive Vance. Vance is tough, smart, politically quick, has backing from directions that don't traditionally have political power, and is against foreign adventurism.
Other politicians might be considered more malleable for the entrenched politicians the way that Kamala would have been.
And so we have these unending purity tests against the people in Vance's circle to nobble Vance.

It's like I always say... for obvious reasons, we tend to focus on the homicidal features of Arab Islamic culture. But even if you set aside the maniacal religious psychopathy, there are still no redeeming qualities of Arabs. They are worse than useless, and then worse than that.
Jews, on the other hand, do a ton of cool shit.
I don't expect people to get fired up about it, or take a side. But I do expect them to have enough sense to see who are the people, and who are the senseless fuckin' animals.

Jews as a group have very high IQ. Arabs are inbred and not very bright. I'm sure that raaaacist, but it is a fact.

New Nick Shirley Video Said to Expose Fraud "Ten Times Worse" Than Prior Videos
Pro-Terrorism, Pro-Antifa AG Announces Lawsuit to Stop the "INVASION" of Minnesota by the Federal Government
A New Nick Shirley Video Shows Grift That Is 'Ten Times Worse' and Will Cause 'World War III'
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday -- is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam. In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero companies. I think that sentence was glitched.Preview of the video at the link. Minnesota is launching a lawsuit to stop the "invasion" of Minnesota by... the government of the United States of America.
"What I believe is the core of all this is this non-emergency medical transportation. A search showed that Minnesota recognizes 1,020 NEMT [Non-Emergency Medical Transport] companies. Almost 900 of them are Somali-owned," he told Bessent. Hoch went on, "In the second video, Nick Shirley and I went to 16 of them -- I've actually been to about 70 of them." At this point, he held up his papers and leaned forward to Bessent to emphasize, "THEY DON'T EXIST."
They visited the NEMT companies to find the addresses went to places with "no vehicles." Fronts included, "an apartment building. One of them is a liquor store. Another one is a wire transfer. Another one is totally unrelated -- it's a grocery store. There are no vehicles." He said, "The vast majority of these companies exist on paper only. They are not real." He said that the average NEMT company in the United States has about "20 vehicles and each vehicle generates about $70,000 a year." He said that if you run those numbers, "800 companies, 20 vehicles, $70,000 a year? It's an enormous sum of money that's going out."
BREAKING: In a DESPERATE attempt to stop ICE and DHS from deporting their new voter base, Minnesota has just announced a lawsuit against the feds.

Yes, a clown judge will grant an injunction within the next 48 hours.
No, it will not stand on appeal.
But, that's not the point. The point is to give their terrorists another lie to justify attacking and impeding federal law officers.

1) Blue states and cities are functionally bankrupt.
2) They have made all sorts of promises to their constituents that can never, ever pay for.
3) Their only hope is a federal bailout.
4) They know they won't get it, or it will be so embarrassing they'll lose their jobs.
5) One way to get a lot of cash is fake claims for federal benefits. It started with COVID money - nobody tracked it, and checks went out willy nilly.
6) The state gets a cut for administration. More money sent, more money coming into the state.
7) Minnesota knows the jig is up - this can't continue. The real question is who goes to jail.

Yes, a clown judge will grant an injunction within the next 48 hours.
No, it will not stand on appeal.
But, that's not the point. The point is to give their terrorists another lie to justify attacking and impeding federal law officers.

For 40 years (perhaps longer) the 1003 form (standard loan application) had a series of boxes on the final page for one's race along with a lengthy statement saying applicants were NOT required to fill that portion out BUT that the lender might complete it for them if they left it blank. The cock-eyed reasoning for this was "Hey, we don't want to DISCRIMINATE by race....BUT...we need to this race data so we can internally AUDIT whether we...wait for it....DISCRIMINATED by race."

May it be so!
I graduated from the University of Miami and worked there in banking for about 10 years. Almost all of my friends were Cuban, and many of them lost family members when the commies took over (one woman told me how the reds dragged her father and brother out of their house and shot them in the front yard). I knew several men who had fought at the Bay of Pigs. I just want to stand in their liberated capital and rejoice with them. And maybe find a Packard I can ship back to the states.

Minnesota once had excellent public schools, checks notes, 40 years ago. Today everybody is infected with Somali math. Ellison is claiming Minneapolis spent $41.6 million per day on law enforcement. The be real funny.
What we are witnessing is the New Confederacy rise. We are in the middle of witnessing Minnesota nullifying being a member state of the United States. Actual secession and all that comes from that is not just thinkable but is play with St. George of Fentanyl and St. Renee of Insurrection being the first official martyrs of the New Confederacy.

One thing seems certain, intensity/brutality of the regime response may exceed anything seen previously (2009, 2022), except perhaps in the early years. Reportedly state thugs present in hospitals, any gun-shot admissions face good chance of disappearing. A nice touch.
Hard to see how the gangsters can hang on, this time, but if they do somehow, obviously the regime has been damaged and weakened and is unlikely to ever fully recover. And that's without even considering Israel hitting their missile program again (a certainty) and heavy US pressure such as the new secondary sanctions (25% tariff on transactions with any country doing bidness with the mullahs).

Claim: Delta Force Used Some Kind of Secret Sonic Weapon Against Venezuelan/Cuban Security Troops, Disorienting Them, Disabling Them, and Causing Their Noses to Erupt Into Bleeding
I don't know if this is true or not. Karoline Leavitt retweeted this story telling people:
"Stop what you're doing and read this!"
The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, "bleeding through the nose" and vomiting blood, during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary. ... Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared -- "barely eight," by his count -- deploying what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area. But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns. "They were technologically very advanced," the guard recalled. "They didn't look like anything we've fought against before." What ensued, he said, was not a battle but a slaughter. "We were hundreds, but we had no chance," he said. "They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute."Well they are among the best-trained shooters in history. And they carry some really good guns. I have a video linked below about that.
Then came the weapon that still haunts him. "At one point, they launched something; I don't know how to describe it," he said. "It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside." The effects were immediate and horrific. "We all started bleeding from the nose," he said. "Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon -- or whatever it was." The White House did not immediately respond to a question regarding whether Karoline Leavitt's sharing of the post -- captioned, "Stop what you are doing and read this..." -- indicated the administration was verifying the veracity of the eyewitness account. ... The outmatched defenders were helpless as the small US unit wiped them out, the guard said. "Those 20 men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us," he claimed. "We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it." The military has had directed energy weapons -- which neutralize targets using focused energy such as microwaves or laser beams -- for years, but this could be the first time it's been used in combat by the US, an ex-US intelligence source told The Post. China reportedly used a microwave weapon in 2020 against Indian soldiers during a border dispute in Ladakh.This sounds like it might be more powerful variant of the directed energy weapon that Russia is using against US diplomats -- so I'm glad that a bunch of Cuban mercenaries got hit with it.
A Venezuelan security guard for Maduro warns against fighting Americans describing the U.S. raid: 20 men with superior tech disabled radars, downed drones, and killed hundreds unharmed. They fired 300 rounds/min and used a sonic weapon causing instant bleeding and incapacitation.… pic.twitter.com/tTVT2l5Qwk

I'm a little concerned that if we set too much of a precedent of nabbing foreign leaders with minimal other casualties, particularly if we advertise the use of non-lethal weapons, we're going to be setting expectations too far in that direction the next time the situation calls for killing a large pile of whomever.

the entire drug-boat interdiction operation was cover for the real mission of nabbing Maduro.
==============
That IS a jaw-dropper. I guess we won't be bothering to interdict any more drug boats, which is fine with me.

They've developed millimeter wave tech that is supposed make it feel like your skin is being microwaved. There are also focused sonic weapons that were pitched as less lethal crowd control devices. This was a decade or more ago, seen on Future Weapons or a similar show on the Hitler Channel.

I'd like to see counter-measures. But maybe we have developed those, as I've not read about more cases recently.

Having said that, there MIGHT have been a microwave weapon used. I've seen the test videos of that. However, it tends to make people run away to get out of the field. They don't just drop and start bleeding. Of course, I guess you could turn it up and get that effect, maybe. But the one I saw was pintel-mounted with a big generator.
But, yeah, most likely this guy pissed his pants when DF showed up and he had to explain why he had a bloody nose instead of a bullet between the eyes.

If you've never seen one of these dudes shoot, I can see why the VZ guys thought they were shooting "300 rounds a minute" or whatever. They are absolutely fucking unreal.
There's a range here with an old west style town shooting course. 45 steel targets over about 70 yards or so, you're moving between doors and windows. My best time I think was like 2 minutes and some small change. A former D Boy showed up and shot the entire thing with zero misses in like 45 seconds. I almost gave up the shooting sports that day. It's like tossing the football in the backyard with your son and then Tom Brady shows up.

If Felix had rolled up Che in Bolivia instead of Che getting shot, I suspect we would know lots more about Cuba's actions on the revolutionaries in South America.
This time we have Maduro who can't risk going home and apparently owes the Russians and the Chinese gobs of money. I doubt he is going to be a champ in this situation, though he may wind up not hanging himself.

Do I think we COULD do all that the poster suggested - yes.
I saw things 25 years ago that were jaw dropping...so I imagine with the growth of tech in 25 years, I'd probably see some equally jaw dropping things now.
Thing is, real or not, it doesn't actually matter. All that matters is what the world thinks we can do.
I think we could probably outfit this exact team exactly the way they said...but like the nuclear bombs in 1945, we only had enough for about this many people b/c this crap is pricey and still in testing...did we use it anyway - maybe.
And that's where I am with the story...

it is a great story, but the written versions of it don't have any "foreign" feel, and the "translation" still sounds like it was composed in English instead of Spanish.
Then again, it could be a limited hangout, or panic, or the modern version of the German Southwest Africa Army meeting the Herrero warriors.
Still again, I can't find any source for this story in Spanish.

_______________________________
Havana Syndrome, I believe is what they ended up calling it. It's fitting that the Cubans ended up on the receiving end this time around. What eventually became diagnosed as Havana Syndrome first reared it's ugly head in Cuba with a bunch of American and Canadian diplomats. Since then, China has been documented as using ultrasound weapons in India. And other occurrences have occurred in DC, Europe, and hotel rooms in the States.
I think it's a pretty good bet Russia was behind the Cuba incident (the first one). But, all major powers are playing with the concept now. Only, it looks like the US worked out the kinks, and using it on Cuban bodyguards was no accident. It was a billboard sized message.

They sent F-35 Lightning 2s screaming over Venezeula, diving down to the ground and then zooming back up in steep climbs, just to flood the countryside with jetwash and engine noise.
My shop is about a block or so across the street from the airport, which also hosts an F15 Air National Guard squadron. The F35s from other units come in about 3-4 times a month and I can always tell when the F35s are here because they are a LOT louder than F15s.

like several of the 29 year olds here, I grew up near an airbase before the sonic boom ban went into effect in the 60's. For us, it was the fighter base at Luke AFB north of Phoenix. They used to crack a couple sonic booms across the city every day at about 1 pm. We lived in a concrete block house at the time (Phoenix wasn't all uppity in the 60's, it was still post war housing mostly) and my mom was pissed, because she could point at a growing crack in the house over the main door that got a little bit worse each time.

I mentioned the old tactic interrogators use of saying something wrong to compel a reticent subject to correct them. On the Sherlock show, he noted, "People don't want to tell you anything, but they love to contradict you."
n says I made a mistake by specifying Hawkeyes as involved in sigint collection. He could have actually provided a service by telling me which plane would be involved in that. He didn't. He didn't want to add to the discussion, just impress everyone with his Superior Knowledge, knowledge he would not share.
Anyway, I don't need his bullshit. No one does. There is a kind of person who lives on social media because no one in real life will have anything to do with them, and n is one of those nasty sperg antisocial retards.

Nothing else is a surprise, except the Cuban mercs as palace guard -- so Maduro would send money and oil, and they would send mercs to protect him since he could trust no one else. It explains the money and oil sent to Cuba, which I never really understood.
And I thought the small boat campaign was obvious after we found out about the raid. It made me feel that all the noise over how it was unjustified suddenly sounded very foolish. (and it makes me wonder about the same effect over Greenland, or mabye Can.)

1) Gary Moore
2) Kirk Hammett.
Obviously I jest....a little. But the abject adoration that Peter Green gets for...what...3? years in Fleetwood Mac has floored me since the early '80s when hipsters and posers wanted to pretend that they were taking music "seriously". Green's version of FMac did "Well oh Well" and....crickets...and Lindsay Buckingham performed the song better live when he joined the band.
Sorry, I can get onboard with pretty much every single echo of a note that Jimmy Page played on Led Zeppelin I, so its not a question of "age" or "time period". But I'd rather hear Bob Welch Fleetwood Mac on shuffle than Peter Green Fleetwood Mac on shuffle.

No C-17 can take off from the USS Iwo Jima.
Madero was taken to Guantanamo Bay, then flown to the US. And I thought he went to NYC, not Miami. He landed in NY State.
So two major flaws. So far.
Plus the overhead pictures show he was taken from his hideaway site inside a military base, not the Palace. The damage seen in the shots is consistent with this.

It was certainly sub-sonic, but the roar and the view of the plane arrived nearly simultaneously.
The tower man was massively startled and missed the elevators (tubing clamps).
I believe that derrick was 93' high. The plane definitely banked around our position. I suspect their radar hit on something in their training area that was not "supposed" to be there, so they performed a safety check.
I did NOT have to clean out my underwear afterwards ... so I thought it was an awesome encounter!

Bloomfield left it with a Club Owner in BC sometime right before his death.
He was scheduled to play 4 nights?, maybe...bailed after the 1st night. When the Club Owner finally tracked him down he was back home in San Francisco. Said he 'Didn't like the scene there' and it is reported he wanted to go home and watch TV. Though that last bit might just be an off-hand comment taken out of context.
Anyway, Bloomfield had been paid up front for the Gig and told the Club Owner to sell off his gear to get his money back.
The guitars and amp were sold. The Burst going to a semi-pro player in Canada who later sold it on and it has since been off the radar.

"Tone" is the sound a guitar, strings, pickups, pedals, and amp make when all of their settings are in place. Those monumental greats could have *indeed* been chasing Green's "tone". But not his playing per se. He wasn't in the same league of player as those chasing his "tone".

I would think that was part of a greater plan to evict Cuba, China, and Russia from Venezuela. The blockades also reduced the money coming in to pay all the criminal henchmen. It seems obvious that many were compromised - how else could Trump be talking about running the place, without having actually taken it over, militarily?
I really don't doubt that such a weapon exists. Haven't we heard about a similar thing - a microwave weapon - that has been used on crowds in certain places in the world?
What slipped right under everybody's noses was basically the weapon from the movie "Real Genius" that was apparently used in the Xmas eve incident in Nashville in 2020. Did anybody really believe that some guy just happened to park in front of the service entrance to one of the 8 top telecommunications hubs in the US, to blow himself up? A security camera maybe a mile away recorded a beam of light extending up into the clouds, when the explosion happened. Undoubtedly, that truck was loaded with Special Forces operators (who did their thing and left within a few hours of arriving), not explosives.

As for getting good pain medication in lieu of weed, thanks to the OxyContin epidemic it's extremely difficult to get a prescription for opioids these days for most people.
And besides, it's not just about some mild pain relief, cannabis has been shown to help with the nausea cancer patients experience during chemo and other procedures.
This all reminds me of my uncle, who was one of those victims of OxyContin (got his first prescription after a major truck accident in the late 90s) who turned into a heroin addict to get his fix a decade or so later after it proved impossible to get Oxy any longer.
The man was dying of lung cancer, had only a few months to live, and the people around him were complaining that he had a friend come by and hook him up for his last fixes while on his deathbed.
Seriously, at that point, what difference does it make?
You think the dying person cares whether their "relief" is legal, or approved by you personally?

Got to do that once for an airshow in the KC-135R. Maxed out 250 knots approaching the air field, pull the throttles to idle as you get to the runway and swoosh on by almost silent. Pull back at the end of the runway and climb out until you reach just above stall speed and push the engines back up. Those high-bypass engines were just a whisper as we went by the crowd 100 feet off the deck. Only way you can impress people, really, in what's essentially a 707, unless you can get them in the air and show them a refueling.

None have been confirmed. Mostly just people claiming the guitar was offered to them. But no new photos have surfaced of it, other than one photo of a luthier who claimed to have a customer come in wanting a refret on it.
Somehow, he snuck a shot of it and it ended up in a back issue of Vintage Guitar.
I talked to Carlos Santana once, about a Dumble he wanted to buy, and he claimed he had Bloomfield's LP. But when I drilled him on it, it turned out to be the 54 Goldtop he (Bloomfield) had traded for the Burst.

Comment: I've never gotten people's fascination with Santana. I've heard others describe his in-concert experience thusly: "You can tell he *wants* to play fast...without actually acquiring the skills needed to actually play fast. It gets old...quickly."

I saw that guitar when it was at the PRS Factory in 1987-8. He sent it in to get the neck duplicarved for the PRS he used on Outrider.

Crap. All I got were Jordanian officers training on C-130's at Dobbins AFB. I have to admit that watching them practice short field landings on the rough between the runways was entertaining.
I never was certain that they weren't reversing the props before touchdown.

I was a huge Page fan back at the time. And I thought the Outrider album was a missed opportunity. He should have picked a singer and tried to cultivate a "sound" out of the experience. Perhaps it could have been more than a 1-off if he had done so. But I had also recently seen him perform live with "The Firm" and I realized that the Jimmy Page that played on Led Zeppelin I wasn't really available any longer.

A few years ago I remember reading about the Rod of God and other weapons...the ones they admitted to having. Now there are probably more weapons with power unheard of and less collateral damage to others.
I read of one targeting one man in a busy, populated market somewhere in the ME. He was there and then he was pink mist. No other damage. Just here one minute and vaporized the next.
Therefore I believe this Clancy novel.

I was an engineer in Lockheed Skunk Works, when a hard copy of a book chapter, with a title 'The Frisbees of Dreamland' circulated among us. The book, Red Storm Rising had not been published yet. We had no idea where it had come from, or what it was for.
So, somebody had made sure that chapter was given to the Skunk Works ahead of time, probably to make sure it didn't tread too far.
Tom Clancy had authentic industry help, no question.

My first thoughts were that the Military FINALLY decided to use the LRAD (https://tinyurl.com/yvwmcdzh) or especially the ADS (https://tinyurl.com/f5b3uhrm) in a Military role instead of civilian crowd control.
Sorry, my Link-Fu is sadly missing tonight.
My guess, since both these technologies existed as demonstrated in the early 2000's, that further advancements should have happened since then.
If one thinks this is fantasy, check the videos above, with live tests on humans at the low range of the instruments.

I'm sorry, but the F-35 does not have 'sonic stealth' - they are crazy loud all the time. There is no 'slider' where you can vary engine noise like that. The F-36B is an order of magnitude louder than the Harrier it replaced and the C model is as loud as an F-14.
Normally that is not an issue - if you don't live near the airfield (like I do) or work on a carrier - because they're not intended to be down low much anyway.

Under Pressure by Judicial Watch Lawsuit, Oregon Finally Agrees to Remove 800,000 Ineligible/Fake/Dead Names from Their Voting Rolls
Violent Leftwing Sissyboys Get Knocked TF Out
Gee, why would it take a lawsuit to force this?
Oregon election officials are set to begin removing hundreds of thousands of inactive voters from the state's registration rolls, a move that comes after years of inaction, mounting public pressure, and lawsuits filed against the state in recent months. Oregon's Democratic Secretary of State Tobias Read, in a press release Friday, outlined two new directives he said will "restart" the "routine cleanup of outdated, inactive voter registration records" in accordance with state law to address the roughly 800,000 inactive voter records that are being maintained by election officials. The first directive orders counties to immediately cancel long-inactive voter registrations that already met the legal requirements for removal before 2017. These are registrations where election mail was returned as undeliverable, voters failed to respond to official notices, and they did not participate in multiple federal elections. State officials estimate roughly 160,000 registrations fall into this category and should have been removed years ago. The second directive changes how the state handles inactive voters going forward. It updates the language on voter confirmation cards to clearly warn voters that their registrations will be canceled if they do not respond or vote within the required time frame. State officials say this step restores a process that allows routine cleanup of inactive registrations under federal law. Together, the directives are designed to address a backlog of inactive records and restart regular voter-roll maintenance after Oregon paused removals in 2017. "These directives are about cleaning up old data that's no longer in use so Oregonians can be confident that our voter records are up-to-date," Read said. "From day one, our goal was clear: run elections that are secure, fair, and accurate. This move will strengthen our voter rolls and reinforce public trust in our elections." State officials acknowledge there are about 800,000 inactive registrations total, roughly 20% of Oregon's voter rolls, though they stress multiple times in the press release that inactive voters do not currently receive ballots, saying at one point, "again, none of the individuals associated with these records will receive ballots, and these inactive records have no impact on Oregon elections."Bullshit!
HUGE: After @JudicialWatch lawsuit, Oregon Secretary of State announces he will now clean 800,000 names from voter rolls. https://t.co/82MFF9xfUh

They implemented vote by mail in 2000 which is interesting because it shows NO increase in turn out over 1996 - the increase instead comes in 2004. One presumes they figured out how to tweak the numbers only after having one sort of legitimate vote...
And then in 2020 well...its obvious what they did adding 500K votes or just under 30%

Those will be dead or moved to other jurisdictions, the remainder are contacted by mail, have to fill out a postcard to stay registered or if that postcard does not come back, then are removed from the rolls.
GOP and activists groups are not waiting for the token lawsuits and Trump admin is cross checking welfare rolls, immigration rolls, etc. to determine additional voter fraud.

The right: So then how about we make voter fraud a capital offense? If there is none, well, then it doesn't matter right?
The left: You just want to kill immigrants!
The right: So does that mean there is voter fraud after all by "immigrants"?
The left: YOU ARE RACIST

The problem with making things capital crimes is that it makes all other crimes--including other capital crimes--free.
If vote fraud is a capital crime, you might as well murder all the witnesses. And then burn down the building. They can't kill you more than once for it.

A few deep dives on voter enrollment have shown it is common in cities for hundreds or even thousands of ballots to go to empty buildings - old warehouses no longer being used.
The standard answer to this is that it isn't fraud its where the homeless population lives. Which of course is basically unprovable at best and obviously makes it trivial for people to fraudulently submit mail in ballots.

The methodology of fraud has become somewhat complex, or potentially so. Every single angle and method would be completely eliminated by one weird trick: eliminating all electronics in voting and tabulation. Paper ballots. Something most of the world still does, for exactly the right reason.
Only electronic/digital element should - obviously - be 24/7 webcam on all tabulation activities.
Fulton County GA doing its imitation of Zimbabwe or Maduro-Venezuela when it comes to election process is the only recourse to hide cheating. And of course this needs to be ruthlessly prosecuted, and the state's presidential electoral votes thrown out (hello, midget figures Tom Cotton, Marcia Blackburn, et al). All the info and mechanisms are there. All that's missing are serious voters and institutions.

Bret Weinstein’s analysis of the 80 Ivermectin court cases reveals a mind blowing statistic.
In the 40 cases where Ivermectin was permitted, 38 survived.
In the 40 cases where it was not, 38 died.
Using a standard statistical formula, the chances that Ivermectin had no impact are roughly 1 in 20 quadrillion.
Yet, we were denied this treatment.
This is one of the biggest medical tragedies in modern history!

10-15-ish years ago, the hippies would isolate a target then surround them with flags, signs, banners, etc. to block cameras. Inside the circle one or two of their comrades would be assaulting the target, and when the target had enough the throng would drop their obstructions in unison so all the cameras caught was the target punching back.

A local TV reporter (obviously with good legal help) IIRC mailed in 7 fraudulent ballots (dead people? something confirmable). Five of the seven were counted. And of course the following week Matt Braynard easily found 15K+ fraudulent votes (dead, out of state, minors/ineligible) just using public records. He moved on to GA and found similar numbers - quickly, from his desktop computer.
Outside a few states US elections don't pass minimum muster for integrity. Country really is a farce on some fundamental issues.

I got the horse paste at a farm store until they stopped selling it. Probably had it under the counter for farmers. I called my PCP to get some and he wouldn't authorize it.

The FL 2000 prez numbers reported election night were nearly identical to the numbers that two different media outfits using Big 8 accounting firms came to in their own subsequent independent analysis. Duh.
Election results have generally been reported very quickly *since the telegraph*. Electronics adds zip to the process, all risk for no gain. Thumb drives? Internet connections? Hilarious. The use of electronics is the Nth redundant confirmation of a dumbed down society.

You see, there is a problem bailiffs have in Oregon, the jury pools always seem to have a large number of non-citizens being included. For some reason.
It causes no end of problems because they always say they can't sit on the jury and are excused for that reaons
But Oregon has that motor-voter thing.
It might be that a significant number of the non-purged names on the rolls are not eligible to vote either.

Your welcome.
He'll get on the short-list unseen after the first cut with a Masters.
Networking is extremely important. He needs to interact with as many professionals he can. A Co-op program would be a very good thing. Also, volunteering at a nearby public park or garden. Do you have anything like an agricultural extension service?
Posted by: pawn at January 12, 2026 05:38 PM (rbIOb)
This is penny-ante stuff. These people are using a million invalid registrations to manufacture ballots. That's par for the Dem state course. They all do it.
CO is on the next level. They use fraud-by-mail on a larger scale, but also a much more expansive method. They don't just manufacture Democrat votes - They trash Republican ones by crude methods (throwing out registrations) and sophisticated ones (specially printed envelopes that reveal party registration), and everything in between.
Voting in CO is a travesty.

Buzz: Tim Walz May Resign From Governorship Today, As Nick Shirley Prepares to Release Video About Walz Threatening Whistleblowers to Protect Somali Fraudsters
I have no idea if this is true. People are claiming it on twitter.
The story goes that, as TheJamesMadison speculated last week, Walz is now a target of the federal fraud investigation. Further, it's claimed that Nick Shirley is dropping a "Part 2" to his fraud investigation and that will be damning to Walz. But... didn't Shirely already drop a Part 2? I already posted him talking with an investigator revealing that Walz threatened that he would fire any whistleblowers for cause and make sure they never got another government job again, and could not even receive unemployment insurance after their firing. Is this a Part 2 to that video? I dunno. The claims say that he will either resign this week or next week, depending on who's doing the claiming.Carter Hughes
@itscarterhughes Jan 10 🚨 BOMBSHELL: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is set to resign within the next week, according to multiple reports from within the Walz campaign. This comes after he was referred for a criminal indictment over massive Somali fraud within the state.

My take on all these sudden reports that Walz is resigning is that it's all a coordinated op to force Walz to resign.

His partner Dave, the guy who actually did all the investigative work over the last few years, says he's got a lot more.
I think Shipwreckedcrew was the first to speculate that Walz had already received a target letter from the DOJ. Given his history with the DOJ and knowledge of how it works he seems pretty reliable. He was very accurate in assessing the J6 stuff.

Trump got elected and shortly thereafter found that Timpon was the king of fraud in MN and immediately still went after him.
If this was Shrub there would be a whole lot of "that's not who we are" and "muh sacred principles"

Your terms are acceptable! However, we should pull CBP from the entire state. That’s right; completely shut down all PoEs with Canada, and yank our CBP agents from Duluth and MSP and other airports and other ports on Lake Superior.
Mr. Frey is VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY UPSET at the idea that visitors to this country have to present a passport to a CBP agent at a PoE in order to enter the country. Shut all direct foreign access to MN and see how they like it.

Oregon Election Officials to Begin Purging Rolls of Inactive Voters
https://tinyurl.com/ydy9awcx
Note, this is in response to a lawsuit from Judicial Watch.
also, from commentary from Mark Hemmingway: Oregon only has 4 million people. And like 20 percent of their voter registrations were bad? How many ballots were they sending to wrong addresses? It’s an all mail in ballot state
I will point out that 800,000 is actually 1/4 of the voting rolls, which is more important than the fraction of the entire population, not all of whom can vote.

Yeah this is something I see a lot of the LIVs I know trying to come to terms with.
They thought of welfare as "helping" "down on their luck" Americans and yeah maybe some people abused it but that could be me right?
But the fact we are funding every third world shithole on the planet AND Europe? They do not like that...Remember how the one thing pretty much every LIV said they want to cut is "foreign aid".
Well, they don't care about the niceties that this is technically welfare or health insurance subsidies or whatever...

BTW, the isn’t a “weaponization of the DoJ, as liberals claim. That was the Democrats using the laws and nice system in new and novel ways to try and destroy their opponents. None of the charges against Trump were proven true. People like Navarro were put in jail for things nobody has ever been jailed for. Same with many of the J6 defendants who were railroaded by weaponized by political judges, prosecutors, DoJ, etc.

I agree. Certainly Democrat run states. Anywhere there is a sanctuary policy has got to be rife with fraud. There is no way they could support millions of illegals with normal state budgets.
In Minnesota, something like 80% of the Somali population is receiving some form of welfare/medicaid. And then there's housing. The numbers are astronomical.

"Working also gave me a close-up look at the Somali bureaucracy. Almost every civil servant I encountered seemed abysmally ignorant...They were completely uninterested in doing their jobs, and spent their time scheming about how to "transfer" government funds, a euphemism for stealing them. In Somalia, to have a stake in government was to have a family member in the place where tax money and money from kickbacks was distributed."

Just like USAID, it had to be laundered first. The richest man in Somalia just happens to have made his fortune (rather recently) on a Money Transfer Business. Mohamed Said Duale owns Dahabshiil. His son is the CEO. They are newly minted Billionaires in a country that doesn't have two sticks to rub together. And, it's not just the US the Somalis are defrauding. Take a look at the recent welfare fraud uncovered in Sweden. Over $100 Million that someone how never got spent in Sweden, but much ended up back in Somalia.
Banking laws in Somalia are, well, not very comprehensive. So, the money (or most of it) would got there first to distribute through NGO's to wash it before it reach a final destination. Too difficult to do that domestically in the US. They'd need an outside process.

Oregon's population is 4.27 million. 75-80% of those are voting age. That's 3,416,000.
That gives the left a minimum of 23.4% headroom for fraud. That's on top of all of the activists buying ballots from non-voters so they can use them to vote for Democrats.

Jeanine Pirro Opens Investigation Into Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Deceptive Congressional Testimony About His Rampant Overspending
He told Congress that he was only spending billions on remodeling the Fed for strictly functional upgrades, like "waterprooofing" the building.
He denied spending billions just to make it a "Taj Mahal" of the Deep State, as Julie Kelly puts it. The current bill is over $2.5 billion, with $700 million of that overspending not originally budgeted for. Powell, who oversees the nation's currency, says "Whoops!"Julie Kelly
@julie_kelly2 18h This is how it's done: NYT tonight confirmed DOJ investigation into Fed Reserve chairman Jerome Powell. "The inquiry, which includes an analysis of Mr. Powell's public statements and an examination of spending records, was approved in November by Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of President Trump. It is not clear whether Ms. Pirro has convened a grand jury or issued subpoenas. But prosecutors in her office have contacted Mr. Powell's staff multiple times to request documents about the renovation project, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation who discussed an open inquiry on the condition of anonymity." The renovation project is a whopping $700 million over budget. "A 2021 version of the Fed's proposal described private elevators and dining rooms for top policymakers, water fountains and new marble features, in addition to a rooftop terrace for staff. Pressed at a congressional hearing in June, Mr. Powell denied that many of those features were part of the latest proposal." Good stuff. More please.
This appears to be the testimony in question related to the criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

I recall that Kamala was running on the top of the ticket at that time. Powell's corruption was doubly scummy. He was trying to juice Kamala's chances to win, and prime the economy for a nice bump in the coming months (that Kamala would take credit for).

I was curious about this as well.
Trump tower in Chicago cost about $850M to build.
How is ANY government office(1) building more than 4 times that price!?!? EVEN WORSE, renovations, not building from scratch?
(1) I can see military or defensive building possibly costing more so I didn't want to have that argument.

Depending on how bad the building is, renovations can be more than a new build. The UN is probably in that category. There are times when it is cheaper to raze it and build new, and renovations can only be justified if it's very historically or culturally significant.

I like the idea of an independent Fed, buuuuuut-
the reality is that political hack, dildo-heads like Powell always swing the economy to whatever benefits the Democrats getting elected, hurts the Republicans, so in essence -
the Fed isn't independent. Just an arm of the Democrat Party.
So, the Head of the Fed should be able to be removed by the Prez.
I don't like that and it will be abused, but that means at least sometimes we'll get policy that benefits the nation and not just Democrat grifters.

There is not a single person, operating in the upper echelon of government, who is 'independent'. All of them have opinions and beliefs and, while it may be possible that you could find a person who would scrupulously set aside their personal beliefs in the course of their job, it isn't probable.

And yet over the years that the Fed existed versus before with all the panics, etc, inflation is worse under the Fed than before the Fed.
The Fed exist to allow banks to create fiat currency via lending and give the patina of a sound currency without anything to back it. So you get inflation over what would be in the alternative.

I have an original 1950's Tappan Deluxe natural gas range. It doesn't have pilot lights or electric starters. One must light burners or oven with a stick match or a lighter.
This is literally the best kitchen stove and oven I have ever had. We got it when my dad's cousin passed and his wife's family were clearing out the cousin's dad's house. My dad's uncle died in 1987 and his house was left exactly as he left it until 2017. We went in and got the kitchen stove and spent weeks getting it cleaned up and working. It's heavy enough to hold the house down if a tornado hit us!

That's how money-printing works. The Fed doesn't just print money and drop it out of helicopters. They get new money into the system by buying assets. This is how "quantitative easing" works.
The Fed makes new money and hands it out to people in exchange for assets. Treasury securities, private bonds, mortgage bonds, etc. New money exits the Fed, an asset enters the Fed. The Fed has to buy something to get the money out into the world. It could be a mortgage bond or a used car, but it has to be *something.*
The explosive growth of the Fed's balance sheet shows the amount of money-printing it's done since the "financial crisis."

This is almost-certainly aimed at the Jews. The Muslims will do it anyway and the British government will decline to notice it.

These office buildings are just a bunch of fucking overhead.
Build them kennels with desks stacked three high along paternosters, so they're always breathing the next guy's farts. Recycle the room air through a fart concentrator, so the top guys don't get away from the farts.
The bathrooms can be a latrine ditch behind the building, and the cafeteria will be an automat on each floor.
Invest the bulk of the construction budgets on the merciless knouters who oversee these swine.

Humphrey's Executor was a knee jerk reaction by the Court to thwart FDR. Myers, merely ten or so years earlier was the true precedent, Humphreys sought to use mealy mouthed quasi judicial and quasi legislative bullshite to distinguish why the FTC appointments (Humphreys) should be treated differently than Postmasters (Myers).
Chief Justice Taft lays down the history in Myers and it is an originalist opinion better suited for Congress and Presidential relations as the Constitution itself does not make the bureaucracy a fourth branch.
Congress has power in funds and providing the law by which the President must execute its will but does not have the constitutional power to split the executive into independent bureaucrats with a president competing with Congress and the courts to run them.

"They did it to me!" Is what Donald keeps yelling at people… the only problem with that is the reason they did it to him was because he committed way more than 34 felonies. Not to mention the whole insurrection. That’s just all they could make stick
Why haven’t they opened up an investigation onto the missing East Wing of the White House? Of course it is politically motivated!
What’s wild is Powell’s term is over in May, and the fed is already lowering interest rates. How dire is the situation that Trump feels the need to start this farce, to speed up dropping interest rates a bit faster, a few months early.
It's not about getting interest rates dropped a bit more before Powell leaves. It’s like Putin throwing people out of windows: he does it so everyone knows it’s him and it is a message to others to behave.
POTUS appointed powell in his first term. Now he accuses him of a crime. it's like 🍊 is admitting he picks criminals.

Back when she had her show on Fox, she did one about the George Floyd case. She put forward her case for why the cop should be charged with Murder One.
She then proceeded to outline all the facts in the case, one after another. It's actually where I first really learned about what happened.
What I noticed was that the facts quite obviously, I thought, showed that the cop was completely innocent. Floyd was having those breathing issues the whole time, which is what happens when you overdose.
So Pirro got the message out, even though, I presume, her masters forced her to declare him guilty. Says something about Fox also, of course.

For states, yes. They have plenipotentiary powers for day to day life for its residents. Property tax and inventory taxes are examples of wealth taxes. For the Feds, it would be an unconstitutional direct tax not covered by the income tax amendment. In theory, by apportioning it via the states, it could be done by teh feds but very difficult. See Hylton v. US (1796) for an excellent discussion of taxing powers of Congress.
Likewise in Calder v. Bull, states can pass retroactive laws but only in civil matters.
Forbidden to Congress and states to do it in criminal matters.

In the UK they were forced to crack down on the conversions they were doing in secret a little while ago. This might be a ploy to get that operation running.

16th only applies to fedgov. States are allowed all manners of taxation as the property and inventory taxes are actually specialized wealth taxes.
In Pollock case in the 1890's the federal income tax was declared unconstitutional. It had been legislated first in the ACW and then appeared off and on until then. If you read the opinions in Hylton, you get how the Constitution''s direct and indirect taxes worked and how to categorize them. Justice Paterson was at the Constitutional Convention and as a senator, wrote much of the Judiciary Act of 1789 setting up the courts. Justice Iredell attended NC ratifying convention for the constitution. Both of them explain quite lucidly how the direct tax prohibition was to work and why the tax in Hylton was viewed as an excise tax, not a direct tax.

my guess?: it's easier than figuring out how to do an old-school control system, they probably don't even teach that any more.

They are taking the Salt Lake Temple, which took 40 years to build from the 1850s through the 1890s, and is the largest temple of the Church and the massive, iconic attraction for Utah, and earthquake proofing it. How? By jacking up the entire Temple (made out of granite) and replacing the foundations with some sort of earthquake dampers to help absorb potential shock. Lots of other internal upgrades as well.
That's the kind of renovation 2 billion gets you: a massive, historic landmark literally being jacked up into the air and modernized as best as possible without destroying the building.
That's NOT what Powell was doing. How can he be spending more money on a "renovation" than what the Church is doing to restore their most important building?

If you live in a filthy country without a lot of indoor plumbing, or a bad cultural problem about hygiene - do it. You don't want a stinky weiner with smegma all up in it.
But if you're a gentile in a first world country, I don't see the point. Even though the risks are very small, I don't see the benefit as good enough to justify them. Why gamble on possibly mangling your son's shlong so he can (voluntarily) skip showers for weeks at a stretch?

He lied directly to Congress, specifically the US Senate in a hearing specifically about the features of the new and over budget Fed Reserve hq building. Lied about it not having a private dining room nor a new VIP elevator just for the governors etc.

I think he is going to retire this summer at the end of his term.
The things he has done during his terms is end the LIBOR and start the SOFR giving the US control over the overseas price of dollars, and in keeping rates fairly high he has sucked lots of money out of the ECB and City of London, leaving them a bit stretched for ready cash.
Low fed rates mean easy money, which drives the business cycle higher for the next crash. Keeping it high bleeds off some of the overheating. It is literally restricting access to Keynes' punchbowl if you like that economics paradigm
Anyways, he is not loved overseas by European bankers. We should give him a watch on his way out for just that.

That's so awesome! HAS to be AI generated dubbing though, right?
The same could be said by the BUF coach, if they were to fire him. He brought playoff games back into the vernacular of WNY, and has the longest current streak of winning 11 games or more, but it's ALL because of Josh Allen, right? And failures of Josh and the rest of the team don't count.
(Not to throw shade on Josh Allen - he's the best QB in a generation, if not all time. But when he gets hurt, and plays hurt, he loses games. It's not because of the coaches.)

Greenland really is just a symbol of how Europe is no longer in the driver's seat. It is Fortress Americas going forward.
The Globalists want us tied into forever wars in the Ukraine and elsewhere at their direction. So does the EU.
Posted by: Oldcat at January 12, 2026 03:26 PM (8avO+)
Funny thing is, it's really not much different from when Alaska was bought. Nobody in Europe wet their pants about THAT. If anything, they got a good chuckle out of it.
But objectively, why should ANYBODY in Europe have a problem with the US having Greenland? Probably most of them didn't even know it was a Danish territory, before a few years ago. It certainly doesn't HURT Europe, and I can't believe most of them give a crap about Denmark in the least.

It's basically like Picard picking off his own crew members with impunity, in that one Star Trek movie - because they had been assimilated by the Borg. They're actually victims, but also weapons being used against us.

He is claiming his demotion runs afoul of the speech and debate clause protection he has as a senator. Problem is, he did not make that video on the floor of the senate or in his office at the capitol.

Ours died in less than 4 years.
Meanwhile, my in-laws are still using a refrigerator they INHERITED from my wife's grandmother in 1975.
But we live in a golden age, not one that's on the decline. Yes, we're so much better now.

You pay a thousand bucks for a new refrigerator every 4 years, so.what?
You saved $40 a year on electricity.
Sheeesh! You're so ungrateful for who everything we do for you!
