Seattle's Communist Woke Wallflower Mayor Says She Refuses to Investigate Medicaid Fraud In Her City Because That Would Hurt Our Precioius Nomadic Pirates
Seattle socialist mayor will NOT investigate fraud at Somali-run daycare centers, calls it attack on immigrants "This whole issue is not really about fraud," said Wilson. "It's about dividing and conquering. It's about making an immigrant community a target." Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said the city has no intention of investigating fraud claims in taxpayer-funded social programs, claiming the concerns are an effort to target immigrant communities rather than address legitimate financial irregularities. In an interview with KOMO News, Wilson was asked if she had authorized the Seattle Police Department or the city's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs to investigate fraud charges involving daycare providers, particularly those in Somali and other immigrant communities. The mayor responded: "No." "This whole issue is not really about fraud," said Wilson. "It's about dividing and conquering. It's about making an immigrant community a target. There's no reason to assume based on the identity of a daycare operator that their small business is doing anything wrong." She added that "it's problematic to have random people showing up to daycares" and emphasized that "the fear in the Somali community is real" and "the fear in immigrant communities are real," saying her administration is "taking that very seriously."Huh, how about that. She's saying it's the Somalis who would be found responsible for defrauding the Americans living next to them and stealing from them. And then she applies the usual Democrat Rule that Minorities Are Immune from the Law and Allowed to Steal and Kill without Consequence. #BecauseRacism. Plus, an exclusive from Alpha News: Somalis are fake employees at fake businesses claiming fake injuries to, get this, pillage and loot from actual American taxpayers.
EXCLUSIVE: Former Minnesota employee reveals suspected fraud scheme of 'fake injuries' at Somali businesses With the benefit of hindsight, Janeen Balsimo thought, "wow, so the fraud went as far as the employee was a fake employee, probably with fake injuries, because there is no people at these places." ByDr. JC Chaix and Liz Collin It's perhaps yet another kind of Somali fraud that we haven't heard much about, and one that may involve fake businesses, fake injuries, and fake workers' comp claims. Janeen Balsimo retired in the fall after working as a Minnesota state employee for nearly 30 years. She joined Liz Collin on her podcast. Balsimo spent her last years at the Department of Human Services (DHS) in the Tort Recovery Unit as a tort specialist. She said that she wanted to blow the whistle on workers' comp cases after what she noticed the last couple of years at her job--as hindsight and the exposure of fraud throughout Minnesota provided even more perspective. Balsimo explained how she "recovered taxpayer dollars where another party should have been paying for the bills. For instance, like auto accidents or work comp. So we would get cases from attorneys representing the client." "And then when the case would settle, we would get paid, the attorney would get paid his fees. DHS would get paid our portion. And then the client would be awarded whatever type of injury that they had back, usually got more awards than neck or arm. So they would get anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000 for their award for their injuries," Balsimo explained. However, she noticed a strange trend emerging in her normally routine work. "About a year ago, I can remember my caseloads of Somalian cases were going way up. They were going up so much I even confided in another coworker. She had noticed it as well," Balsimo said. She said "that's when I noticed my Somali cases, they all worked at a daycare center, an adult care center, a hospice or an autism center. And I found that really strange and they ended in the LLC because I had to keep typing it over and over and it was just really strange to me." "Then I retired a few weeks before the Nick Shirley exposure ... and one day I was watching a video and I noticed the names of the businesses he was investigating. And they looked really familiar. Like I almost remember the name of the businesses just by typing them all the time and just dealing with them. And I could not believe it ... it all came together, Balsimo said. "I went, oh my gosh, this was like a wow moment. These cases were probably fraudulent," she added.
Kommissar Katie Wilson said the city will not be looking into any “day cares fraud”….

Literally entire city and even state economies are based on illegals and the fetid remoras of graft and theft and political payola and patronage that infests them. Without illegals, probably 1/4 of the blue cities in the country would collapse. Literally. The cities would be ghost towns and the money flow would stop. That's why Democraps fight so hard to protect and enable illegals. It's there entire lifeblood.
I keep raising my estimate of how many illegals there are in the country. I'm not at about 75 million.

How many bad/terrible Republican Senators are in each Senate since the 112th Congress:
112th: ~26 Senators
113th: ~25 Senators
114th: ~30 Senators
115th: ~30 Senators (Trump's first term)
116th: ~25 Senators
117th: ~24 Senators
118th: ~20 Senators
119th: ~19 Senators
120th (if the map has zero changes): ~15 Senators
It's better than that, because the squishes were a majority of the GOP caucus in Trump 1, and now they're a minority. Minorities who want to stick around have a habit of going along with the majority.

Tennessee’s GOP State Government is Subsidizing the Relocation of Cultural Adversary Starbucks; How Did TN Leaders Promise $30M that Hadn’t Yet Been Approved in a Public Forum?
Tennessee’s State Funding Board approved the $30 million payout during a meeting on May 20. State incentives would cover an average of $15,000 per job created.I know plenty of Tennessee small business owners who could hire more actual Tennesseans if the first $15,000 of salary was subsidized by the state. How obscene is it that a small manufacturing plant in Murfreesboro, staffed by patriotic Christians, doesn’t get a dime in assistance when it expands and hires more employees, but a corporation like Starbucks that is openly contemptuous of Tennessee’s conservative values is getting paid to colonize the state with its woke agenda?
During the announcement, Gov. Bill Lee touted the state’s “fiscally conservative approach to business.”If taking money from taxpayers and giving it to an activist left-wing corporation is a “fiscally conservative approach to business,” what might be considered fiscally irresponsible? How woke is Starbucks? As documented in Unherd, “Like so many companies, the coffee giant was swept up in the political maelstrom of 2020 and 2021. It pledged $100 million for businesses focused on “advancing racial equity”. It allowed employees to wear activist clothing and accessories to work, provided that the clothing supported the Black Lives Matter movement. In many Starbucks stores, June Pride Month celebrations went from discreet lapel pins to wall-covering shrines.” So Tennessee is reimbursing Starbucks $30 million of the $100 million the company shelled out to “advance racial equity.” Some Tennessee politicians are not happy about this, including U.S. Rep. John Rose, a Republican candidate to replace (term-limited) Bill Lee as governor. He called the Starbucks incentive "corporate welfare" that is "beyond the pale." Marsha Blackburn is the overwhelming favorite to win this year’s Republican gubernatorial primary, but she has not yet commented on the Starbucks payout. I recommend that she gets on the right side of this issue quickly. If not, John Rose may gain some traction. A ray of hope is that many Starbucks employees don’t want to leave the comfort of the asylum they call home. “Lefty Starbucks office workers refuse to move from Seattle to new hub in deep-red Tennessee” [NY Post – 4/22/2026]
Starbucks office workers are reportedly balking at orders to relocate to the company’s new $100 million Nashville hub, with some left-leaning workers repulsed by the prospect of living and working in the capital of deep-red Tennessee. The java giant has been struggling to persuade employees to move from Seattle — even after warning some they could lose their jobs if they refuse, Bloomberg News reported.As I was typing this piece, I just noticed something significant that I had previously missed. Something stinks:
• Starbucks announced its new Tennessee operation in mid-April, and the employee ultimatums regarding relocation also occurred in April.
• It was several weeks later, on May 11, that the Tennessee State Funding Board issued a public notice of the upcoming May 20 meeting to vote on the $30 million handout. Public comment was limited to the day of the meeting, May 20. This was now a full month after Starbucks announced its Tennessee plans. • If the state had not already committed the $30 million, the Funding Board could have simply voted “No” and it wouldn’t have made any difference, since Starbucks had already committed to the new Tennessee operation. • If this was just a vote to formalize a previously agreed upon commitment of the $30 million, then how does this comport with the Tennessee Open Meeting Act. How did Governor Lee know he could promise a $30 million incentive to Starbucks if it hadn’t yet been debated in a forum open to the public? I am not accusing the five members of the Tennessee State Funding Board of doing anything illegal. To the contrary, I am sure they have very good counsel who ensured that what they did is technically in accordance with state law. But that doesn’t make it right. The Tennessee State Funding Board has five members entrusted with the authority and wisdom to redistribute money from taxpayers to corporate welfare recipients. Those members are: 1) Governor Bill Lee2) Treasurer David Lillard
3) Comptroller Jason Mumpower
4) Finance & Administration Commissioner Jim Bryson
5) Secretary of State Tre Hargett Perhaps if there is enough public revulsion from Tennessee taxpayers, these vulgar and unnecessary handouts to woke corporations will stop. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

I generally agree, but there is something else to consider, and that is that the red states compete among themselves to attract a Starbucks, Boeing, or whomever. It would be best to have an agreement among the red states that they will not engage in such taxpayer giveaways, but barring that, it's going to happen.

Starbucks committed to a $100 million capital investment and the creation of 2,000 corporate jobs over the coming years to put a Southeast headquarters in downtown Nashville.
AI Overview: Nashville operates as a "blue island in a sea of red". The city is historically the most progressive and Democratic area in Tennessee, driven by a strong base of young liberals and organized labor group.
The primary barrier to progressive policies in Nashville is the conservative-dominated state legislature. State lawmakers routinely attempt to curtail the city’s authority and preempt local laws, most notably over LGBTQ+ rights, gun control, and public health.

And the timing, super.
Casey Owens Castello (Joe Biden's niece) officially left corporate Starbucks in February 2026 after a 12-year career.

I don't disagree with the sentiment in general, but I suspect most people are apolitical or political only to the extent of mouthing whatever pieties seem required. I'd wager most people prefer to go on paying their mortgage over living in any one jurisdiction. Kind of like the people who swear they're leaving the U.S. every four years if the Republican wins.

Either he couldn't get a word in because of the GOP noise, or he just took off a few weeks from anything like a campaign.

In retrospect, it’s obvious that this claim was Cornyn’s entire campaign. He and the rest of the GOP-e have given up on trying to appeal to the base, all they can do is say “oooh, democrats will win if you don’t let us keep surrendering!”
And they wonder he lost by a 2-1 margin.

Once again, not exactly correct. There is a war out there by states to garner business development. It is not so much that the money is well spent, its that if you don't do that, businesses never look at you. First thing they look at is right-to-work laws (Michigan screwed themeselves into the ground eliminating that protection), then incentives generally. SOme states do it better than others. Tennessee has been rather effective. Indiana is another one that does it well.

Some are praising Cornyn now for being a gentlemanly loser, which I suppose is on brand for him. Regardless, it's encouraging that the guy didn't resort to a petulant temper tantrum after being so ignominiously booted.

The problem with playing to the base is that they know that one thing the base hates worse than even never voting for the shit they want is to lie about it and then not vote for the shit they want. It's not that they 'couldn't' play to the base to get elected, they just know it would be suicide because they know they want amnesty and loose voting rules and etc.
They are the enemy. And it is good that they are being cast off as chaff before the wind.

Even with his job on the line, Cornyn could never bring himself to do anything more than barely go through the motions of a campaign. He could never grasp that this was the problem.

Reminds of that story of Robert E. Lee, postwar, being approached by some firm that wanted to make him a partner or something.
He asked what his duties would be. They told him that he would have no duties.
And he responded with something like. "Then you only want to buy my name. And my name is not for sale."
Imagine any politician saying that today.

I wonder how much Tillis and Cassidy's tantrums contributed to an even greater margin of defeat?
The main pillar of the GOPe power is their ability to plausibly pretend to be conservative.
But these children petulantly burning it all down on their way out the door puts a match to that facade.
No one believes they are conservative anymore so there is no reason to vote for them.
PS: I saw a lot of names burning their reputation on "Cornyn is the most conservative choice" over the last few weeks ....

This X account doesn't share the names, but he does provide an interesting breakdown of how the GOP Senate caucus is improving:
@RealPData
·
2h
How many bad/terrible Republican Senators are in each Senate since the 112th Congress:
112th: ~26 Senators
113th: ~25 Senators
114th: ~30 Senators
115th: ~30 Senators (Trump's first term)
116th: ~25 Senators
117th: ~24 Senators
118th: ~20 Senators
119th: ~19 Senators
120th (if the map has zero changes): ~15 Senators
Food for though.

This style of regional American art from roughly the depression period is right in my wheelhouse. Where that comes from is having spent a bunch of time poking around the rural Western US with a camera and bag of lenses.
These painters aren't Rembrandts from a technical perspective; their talents are elsewhere. As a group they have a singular ability to capture western American culture in transition, half late 19th century with the other half dipping its toes into the technological 20th century.
If they were painting today they would still nail the vastness of the American West and most likely would be capturing F250s with a Starlink antenna on the roof headed towards Amarillo to hear a country band at Starlight Ranch.
Totally would hang.

Anyway, it's not like I paid attention to FB.
Anyway, a couple of years ago, I decide to just scroll my FB feed for the first time in months, and I see this woman's post responding to the assertion that Biden's economy is bad from Trump.
Just a picture of the DOW's growth saying "This isn't a bad economy."
I wonder if she's still posting things about how the economy is great because of the stock market. Deleted my FB a while ago, so I can't check.
I bet she is. She had a metric, and she's gonna stick to it!

The left has no real principals or beliefs. You can find the same leftists arguing the stock market growth doesn't matter at all now, arguing that the stock market going down in Apr meant Trump failed, and in the 2020s that a growing stock market means Biden's economy was good.
The stock market is one part of the economy and should be considered but it isn't everything. Of course during the Biden years of 10%+ in real inflation means then you'd need a larger return then that for actual stock market growth.

The painting is sweet, very Americana. I could hang it.
The portal to Texas History - Charles T. Bowling: An Annotated Bibliography, by Colleen Lahan Makowski
tshaonline org - Charles T. Bowling: A Legacy of Regionalist Art, By: Kendall Curlee, Published: November 1, 1994, Updated: March 23, 2021
In part, "Bowling began studying fine art at age thirty-five, when a long convalescence at home left him with free time to sketch and paint. He subsequently studied with Olin H.

The lively and exploratory Mrs naturalfake and I have been planning to make a drive along the original Route 66 for a long time after driving along a chunk of Route 66 in New Mexico.
We thought this would be a lot of fun, however-
because of all the "new" interstate highways apparently the original Route 66 has fallen on hard times and disrepair in significant parts of it.
Some places have even become "do not go" areas.
So, that trip has moved down our list of things to do.

Financialization, globalization, and mass shareholding via index funds, etc. makes it difficult to determine any relationship.
One can make a closer one between Fed's interest rates and the stock market but not necessarily the US economy.
It may be that the Fed's control of the punchbowl of liquidity (and Congress on spending), control the stock market but the Fed due to Humphrey Hawkins mandate controls the stock market via loose or tight money supply and simultaneously is charged with ensuring employment for Americans.
And that is determined in part by the President, Congress, and the financial community via the Fed board.
Our economic models generally suck because causation gets buried after a couple of layers of murky intervening variables, latency, and the increase in bot trading based on global conditions.

Owing to I-40 being closed for an accident, I took a stretch of Route 66 from Kingman to Seligman a few years ago.
The most charming part was that they still had the old Burma Shave signs ... and yes, those roads are not well-maintained now (I remember we still had and drove on (out to Jean and the State Line) "The Old L.A. Freeway" running south out of Las Vegas paralleling the new I-15 back as a yute in the 60s).

Having just done that trip (Amarillo to Kingman), I say: "Go for it!" I will say that New Mexico has done a pretty good job of promoting the Rte 66 Centennial, and accessible sections of the old routes are well marked. Much of the old 66 has become currently-used frontage roads and secondary highways, and is well-maintained. A few sections are dilapidated, but not much.
It was a very enjoyable tour.

Not in this case. Old trails often took high ridges to avoid being flooded out which is what happened to I-40. Older highways were built often on those pathways at the disadvantage of sight grades, twists and turns, etc. Modern interstates are designed for high speed travel with constant grades, long sight lines, modern interchanges, and lower cost so often and often take river valley routes instead of ridges.

Now do I-66 into DC.
No need to focus on the big areas. I propose Breezewood, PA as the nexus of all evil in the highway system. However, there is hope for the future.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has entered the preliminary engineering and design phase for a new, direct connection between the PA Turnpike (I-76) and I-70 at the Breezewood Interchange.Because the planning, environmental reviews, and geotechnical engineering typically take several years, physical construction of the bypass interchange is still in its early stages and the new route won't be fully operational for a few more years

President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen first struck up a close friendship on the 2008 campaign trail. Bonding over shared values and their roles as American storytellers, the two famously encapsulated their dynamic with Obama’s quip, "I am the President. He is the Boss."
They have had a deepening bond in their friendship that spans decades and several notable milestones.

FWIW, the section of I-40 that washed out was adjacent to a river in the lowlands and the rising water got into the roadbed and washed out the support for the asphalt top layer resulting in the lanes closest to the river disappearing for a stretch and the road bed for the other two lanes also being damaged. Took about a year to fix.
Floods do a lot of damage to the subsurface of roads anyway but add in rushing torrents of water taking out the road subbase, not bueno.

The Morning Report — 5/ 29/26
Good morning kids. Supposedly a "deal" of some sort is in the works or on the verge of being reached with the regime in Tehran to end hostilities. As I have stated repeatedly, I have the greatest respect and admiration for President Trump, but I cannot imagine any agreement that they would ever agree to that removes the hardline Islamic elements from power, even partially let alone completely. It is they who have terrorized and brutalized their own people and spilled rivers of blood all over the world in the cause of Islamic global conquest, quite a bit of it American, over the past 47 years thanks to the complicity/idiocy of Jimmy Carter in helping unleash the Mullahs on the world. And in that time allowing them to nearly develop a functioning nuclear weapon by stockpiling tons of enriched uranium and perfecting long range missiles that for now threaten the region but perhaps can soon reach much farther. Were it not for Israel's and America's military and covert operations to thwart all of that with Epic Fury and the IDF and ongoing Mossad's campaign
of liquidating Iranian scientists, an Iranian mushroom cloud might well have vaporized Tel Aviv, Dubai, Riyadh or Vatican City or even London or Washington DC by now. There is no alternative than the absolute and unconditional surrender of the Mullahs. If not, then the aforementioned nightmare scenario might one day become a reality. Who could have ever imagined 9/11 until it happened? There is no doubt in my mind that had Bin Laden have nukes, NYC and DC would be a radioactive dead zone. Speaking of "unconditional surrender," as evil as Islam and the mullahs are, there is an equally evil cancer that exists among us.
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that the proposed agreement with Iran is “a surrender document.” And we appear to be “negotiating America’s unconditional surrender to Iran.” . . . because there’s literally no other option. Unless he wants to take over the whole country, because that actually would achieve regime change, it would end their nuclear program, it would reopen the strait. But you’re talking about using 300,000 Americans for a country that’s twice the size and population of Iraq. I don’t think even Ranger Pete Hegseth wants that. So the only other option is to sit down at the table and actually have a negotiation. Let’s just be honest, though, he’s not only lost the war, he’s losing the negotiation as well.”. . But, short of taking over Iran, “there’s literally no other option.” . . . Later, Moulton said that Trump “has a hope and a prayer that he might get some semblance of the nuclear deal that Obama handed to him.”This mealy-(semen-encusted) mouthed scumbag finally lets slip what he and the traitorous bastards of the Democrat/Left want: America defeated/humiliated/destroyed and Iran to actually get an atomic weapon which is what Obama and his cohorts were nearly successful in delivering. The JCPOA along with billons in palletized cash sent to Iran during his 8 year reign of error got them very close to achieving nuclear capability. Here at home, if Iran can't destroy America as founded, Moulton and his cadres will continue to do their damndest as they have always done.

1) a "deal" of some sort is in the works
2) a "deal" of some sort is ... on the verge of being reached
Either you have a deal, or you don't. The last part of the deal IS the deal, at least in this case.
I don't know what Trump is waiting for, but it could be many things:
1) New tech arriving in theater
2) Support from so-called "allies" in Europe
3) Financial pressure/oil well damage to take its toll
4) Getting the insurgency ready
5) Intelligence gathering
6) Rearming
7) Working out issues with Persian Gulf allies
Obviously, there has to be a lot of secret stuff going on. We really have no idea what's really going on, we just know that Trump is intent on finishing this, and finishing it right. He always give his opponents the opportunity to do the right thing, but he has no illusions - he does not EXPECT it.

The number so far is 550 lines of code.
So what I asked google to do was create a name parser in c++.
The parser we developed takes a name string and parses it into it's component's and stores them in a JSON.
So if you enter Mr. Hector Camacho De La Luz Jr.
It will parse it as:
Salutation: Mr.
First: Hector
Middle: Camacho
Last: De La Luz
Suffix: Jr.
It timestamps the entries and creates an edited date field for when the entry gets edited.
You can perform operations like, sort, edit, delete, search by id or keyword, export to CSV, batch import a csv.
It has logic to detect duplicates and you get the point.
You can take that code and put it in your bank of helper functions for pretty much any project you're working on.

keep us in reactive mode, instead of strategically thinking about how to move forward.
Ace said it, years ago: "It's an op!" ignore it, go on with life.

Now how are asylum claims proven? By affidavits from the immigrant in question , plus those who know him. (Meaning family members) All other documents will be from sources outside the US, mostly impossible for US courts to verify.

It still begs the question of how many asylum claims can be accepted and approved for every bipedal illegal who quite obviously pass through other countries on their way to the Golden Goose of the USA. Legally, as I understand it, that's not the way it works. You seek asylum as you cross the next border. You don't work your way through other countries until you reach the biggest cash machine you can find.

This is the second time a Russian drone fell within Galati, but last time there were no victims.
Galati is close to the Ukrainian border. Apparently Russia sometimes uses the cellphone networks of countries bordering Ukraine to guide and control its drones targeting Ukraine. As far as I can tell, often these Russian drones go over some stretch of Romanian or Polish territory and attack Ukraine from an unexpected direction.
On one hand, Russia is betting on Trump's complacency, since he is engaged in the war with Iran and cannot afford trouble elsewhere.
On the other hand, since Romania (together with most NATO countries) is already supporting Ukraine, Putin does not care about the possibility of killing Romanians with stray drones, by "accident".
Putin and his lackeys would probably welcome an extension of the conflict, to justify their lack of results: it is more honorable to fail against the whole of NATO than against just Ukraine.

Even if they wanted to, I don’t think there’s any legal way to do it under Texas law. Texas Dems are caught in a trap of their own making, and it’s hilarious to watch. First, the Texas Dem party is completely broke, has been for a couple decades. Which means the only way to finance a campaign is by relying on large donors on the west coast and northeast.
BUT - those mega donors will only finance an ultra liberal candidate who says what they want to hear, but who is obnoxiously offensive to about 80% of the Texas voting public. And this is why no Dem has won any statewide race for 30 years now.

How is he going to “walk it back” when Paxton is going to be running ads from now until November featuring video of Talarico saying those exact things?
And the example of “abortion Barbie” (Wendy Davis) is worth remembering. She was decent looking, a good speaker, had big financing from California. But realizing she was behind as November approached, she decided to start talking tough on immigration as the campaign wound down, hoping to attract more votes.
It didn’t work. No one to the right believed her, and the pro-immigrant groups got mad and stopped supporting her. In a race that was supposed to be “too close to call”, she lost to Abbot by a 62 - 38 margin.
I expect Talerico’s final numbers to be in that range.

I think that was cover for what they believed was a realization of their decades-long march to subvert every agency at every level of government to their will.
They have built a hidden machinery in full control of government.

If they do research that they give to the campaigns without being paid the going rate then it is a campaign contribution. They could run their own, uncoordinated, ads but I think it's better for Elon to stay chill for a bit. It's hypocritical for the left to bitch about the 2-3 billionaires who support the right while wallowing in cash from the 80-90 who support the left but hypocrisy is just Tuesday for them.

They went largely unnoticed by most of the American public because they operated primarily overseas and they had warm and fuzzy names that belied their true mission. They were just good hearted humanitarians.
And then they started being used domestically under Obama, the same guy who repealed the Smith-Mundt Act and made it legal for the government to use propaganda on US citizens. NGOs are an essential element of a color revolution and that's exactly what they did to us in 2016 and it continues to this day despite being badly wounded thanks to no more USAID. The fight continues.

His God talk is similar to Obama's and Pelosi's God talk. They throw in a few verses to underscore their socialist policies as wink to their base. Everyone knows how (not) religious they are but understand that it's for show. The MSM eats it up and then asserts that they are more religious and caring than those hateful, bigoted Christian Nationalists.
It's a game, and everyone involved understands this. In fact, some, such as Obama, clearly enjoy twisting God's word to screw us over.

Advocacy NGOs — influence policy, raise awareness, lobby for causes.

Worse than that. There is evidence Barak Rabid (Axios) is doing market manipulation around the conflict. Trades are timed to occur within minutes of his articles and his "sources" give information no one else is aware to be true.
Unless I hear it from Al Jazeera, it’s bullshit. I hate how a notoriously repressive theocratic regime is coming across as the reasonable ones in this time line.
"a notoriously repressive theocratic regime..." With Christo-fascists in power here, you need to be more specific.
"> U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran's nuclear program"
It’s not a deal. It’s an extension of a ceasefire Trump hasn’t respected at all. That headline is straight BS.

I didn't, either, til the blood cancer. And to be fair, it's a compromise with the doc. He'd rather I never really be in a Church-like environment (indoors, long, packed, breathing down necks, sick folks attending, etc) while I'm on treatment (but I'm always gonna be on treatment, so that's kinda a no-go), so to go, I take a few more precautions than I used to (side and back seat, no shaking hands, etc)...and I will skip and watch at home when I'm sick or recovering (like last weekend and probably this weekend since I'm still not 100%) or when the area is really bad with flu.

All of Gov. Josh Shapiro's endorsed candidates for Congress won their primary races.
In part, "“We’re angry that this country that we love so much feels like it’s slipping away, that the values that we hold dear are being squandered by a president and his band of enablers hellbent on injecting chaos, cruelty, and corruption into our lives every day,” Shapiro said in his roughly 20-minute speech.
Shapiro’s case for a presidential campaign in 2028 will be strengthened if he can help flip the U.S. House by elevating Harvie and other swing district candidates in the fall when he’ll also be on the ballot."
--
Governor Josh Shapiro chose not to endorse or oppose any candidate in the crowded 2026 Democratic primary race for Philadelphia's 3rd Congressional District. Shapiro's campaign stated that he sat the race out to stay focused on flipping Republican-held districts in other parts of the state, though he did call progressive State Representative CHRIS RABB to congratulate him after he won the primary against the city's Democratic establishment.

Renting a truck and trailering my car? Not with two cats in carriers. A one-day trip might be okay, but not two days. If Linda drove, she could pilot the Buick with the cats, while I did the truck . . . but no.
I thought of leaving the cats with her, and having her bring them up by train. Amtrak doesn't look cheap, though, and she'd have to ride to Chicago and then back down to Indianapolis. Still, I'm keeping the idea in reserve.

13.2" with a 120Hz IPS display @ 2400 x 1600
8GB RAM - 256GB storage - $288 -
Review: https://youtu.be/p8_gR_2yPsU
ETA Prime goes through all of the specs and plays a few games to test them out.
They all have metal back construction and SD slots as well.
The 13.2" model comes with a case in the box, too.
These could be perfect for anybody who doesn't want an iPad, Samsung, or Kindle tablet.

No, fluffy, Terre Haute, about an hour or so west. Another issue; if Linda would be willing to ride Amtrak to Indy, I'd have to go get her and the cats. It's not like the old days when trains crisscrossed the country and hit nearly every mid-sized town; oh, no.

I have an older brother who lives in FL. He's a flight nurse and his company can send him out to CA at a moment's notice. Mom is actually the one with the main responsibility and they live in the kind of retirement community that will take care of them.

ETA Prime on YouTube has reviewed them and they seem to be a pretty good deal for the money.
They have three sizes:
8.1" with a 90Hz IPS display @ 1000 x 1524
6GB RAM - 64GB storage - $130 -

Thanks. This one is my pick due to the scarcity of small tablets with good displays. I'll check out the video.
There's also an even cheaper 7" model in the lineup but it's garbage.

I drove from Ann Arbor, MI to North Dallas in one shot (~955 miles). With a cat sitting on top of the pile of belongings that I had stuffed in the car. (There was a litter box behind one of the seats and the cat watched the world go by on top of the pile. She had taken a trans-Atlantic flight from Germany to Fort Knox without complaint 7 years earlier, so maybe she was special.)
Yeah, I was lot younger then and I wasn't towing anything, but still an average speed of 50 mph over 18 hours is 900 miles. If you can bump the average to 55 mph over 18 hours, you get 990 miles. Given that most interstates allow at least 65 mph, you could do the jump in one go.

Terre Haute is about 700 miles. Theoretically, in the car, with bathroom breaks for me and gas stops, I could do the trip in 12 hours. I'd be worn down and making driving mistakes down toward the end, though.
A truck might be safer to drive a little slower. Fourteen hours? NOooooo.

Well, it appears she is a respectable woman who won't be galivanting off across the fruited plains with some guy. Maybe you should reconsider your long standing relationship and offer her some token of your affection. Maybe a circular one made of some valuable metal with a stone.
Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead at May 29, 2026 06:39 AM (3Ope8)
Well, we described her as "buttish". She wasn't a lap cat, but she'd be near us; if you touched her, she'd lick the place you touched.
She used to open the under-sink cabinets in the bathrooms and leave them open (which my wife accused me of doing until the cat opened one of them in front of both of us). She would also wait until I finished taking a shower to go lick up that shower water (versus the water bowl water); I had taken a shower just prior to us watching the movie "Burnt by the Sun". At the end of that rather depressing (but good) movie, we realized that "Puddy" (yes, we named her that versus my earlier name of "CAT!") hadn't gone into the bathroom where I had showered to lick up the water. She had jumped on a bed and died of (I guess) a heart attack. That was on a New Year's weekend, so I had to put her in a box in the garage until something opened that could handle her. I've got her box of ashes still.

That's what I'm leaning toward. I haven't called Bekins yet, though.
Timing will be tough. If I close at the end of June on the house, I'll need to come back down here, finish packing everything up, and do the move in July. And I want to have the carpet taken up and the hardwood in two rooms refinished while I'm gone -- a lot simpler to do that *before* I move all my furniture in. The repainting of two walls, well, maybe I can do that myself. I really don't want medium-brown walls in my dining room. . . .

Good morning! I think he is part of the progressive church that where leftist political views are their foundation and Jesus doesn't care what you do as long as it's luuuuuuuuv. Nobody could come up with "God is non binary" or what he says about Mary and abortion while talking the Bible seriously . The fact that the pastor where he attends doesn't even mention. Jesus in his biography but something along the lines of " I love world religions" tells me all I need to know .its like the Presbyterian version of the Unitarian Universalists
That's not to say that the pastor isn't a nice person. I'm sure there are any

My wife found a contract job in Toronto during the 2008 economy. When I moved her back down to Texas in 2009, we drove through Niagara Falls on the way.
We wanted to park the car with the piles of crap in it to go look at the falls, but decided not to since there was possibility that some asshole would punch out a window to steal the stuff they could see.
If you can afford someone else moving most of your stuff, I'd go for that if you can't do the drive in one go yourself. YMMV; it wasn't a guarantee that someone would have broken into our car to steal shit, but...you know.

"The FBI is warning that a new hacking platform is allowing cybercriminals to hijack Microsoft 365 accounts — including Outlook, Teams and OneDrive — while bypassing multi-factor authentication entirely."
The scheme exploits Microsoft’s legitimate OAuth 2.0 “device code” authentication system — a feature commonly used to log into smart TVs, streaming devices and other hardware with limited keyboards.
Rather than stealing passwords directly, attackers trick victims into entering a code on a real Microsoft login page, unknowingly authorizing the hacker’s device

I'm aware, but that's not the "uh oh" moment I'm referring to.
Here's how I see it having gone so far:
1. Situation normal, memory manufacturers making memory for consumer market and some for data centers.
2. Data center demand spikes massively due to AI bubble.
3. Memory manufacturers see huge profitability in pivoting to the new demand and rationing to the consumer market, so of course they do this.
4. Consumer market prices spike, and supply very much restricted.
5. OEMs and all manufacturers that rely on memory now having difficulty producing their own products to meet their consumers' demand.
6. More and more companies in (5) go out of business over time as they can't meet their customers' demands, and thus can't remain profitable.
7. Data center bubble finally pops. Demand from that sector craters.
8. Memory manufacturers pivot back to consumer market.
9. A lot of the consumer-market customers are just GONE.
10. Who do we sell to now? "Uh oh."

This is due to the reciprocity agreement that the 50 States motor vehicle departments have with the Canadian provinces ministries of transportation. This allows Canadians and Americans to drive in each other's territories keeping their home-territory license plates on while visiting, insurance to be recognized as valid cross-border, and for any tickets gotten in another territory to be enforceable back in your own home state.
Good luck renewing your plates or driver's license if you have unpaid tickets in another territory, though.
Anyway, yes, the Handicap placard you have from your state would definitely be considered valid up here in Ontario Canada unless it was marked with an expiry date and you were beyond that date. Then they might make an issue of it, but probably not, unless it was more than 3 to 6 months out of date. At that point, you're no longer considered a "visitor" but a resident, and should have local provincial plates and a province-issued handicapped placard. They want their revenue, after all.

The parser we developed takes a name string and parses it into it's component's and stores them in a JSON.
So if you enter Mr. Hector Camacho De La Luz Jr.
It will parse it as:
Salutation: Mr.
First: Hector
Middle: Camacho
Last: De La Luz
Suffix: Jr.
It timestamps the entries and has an edited date field for when the entry gets edited.
You can perform operations like, sort, edit, delete, search, export to CSV, batch import a csv.
It has logic to detect duplicates and you get the point.
You can take that code and put it in your bank of helper functions for pretty much any project you're working on.
The point is, that's pretty f***ing amazing.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - May 28, 2026 [Doof]
Sunrise in Sydney Australia - From Kaz
Howdy Hordelings! So -- nowhere else you'd rather be than the Thursday night ONT, eh? Then let's go to it! Content provided for those who care. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
Got an unquenchable thirst? How about some, (checks notes), FEET JUICE?!? Cosplay Models Shock Internet by Selling “Feet Juice” at California Anime Festival
Anime conventions can get pretty wild, but when’s the last time you attended an event where cosplay models were selling actual “foot juice”, as in fruit juice from plastic buckets in which they had dipped their feet? Despite the product’s unconventional nature, the $10-15 price tag wasn’t enough to deter potential clients, and according to multiple reports, the foot juice sold out in less than an hour. *** Photos and videos from Parkon 2026 show young girls in cosplay holding up signs with foot juice offers while having their naked feet dipped in juice, and some even offering to let customers drink the juice dripping directly from their wet feet.Yup - it's real. Go ahead and check out the video at the link.

The odd thing is the casting. Bridges does not play the hero, one of the Secret Service guys trying to stop some high-quality counterfeit plates from getting out. No, he's the crook who originally made them. And John Hoyt plays the central SS guy who eventually takes the ring down!
Hoyt, you'll remember, was a standby on TV in the '60s. He played the ship's doctor, Boyce, on the first Trek pilot; and he was in that ]i]Twilight Zone where a motley group is stuck at a diner, and one of them may be an actual alien from another planet. Turns out two of them are, and one is Hoyt -- as a Venusian.

With remarkable dedication, she squeezes and presses, extracting the precious liquid while a small but brave queue of festival-goers gathers before her. Some appear hesitant, others strangely intrigued by this exotic elixir.
Observe how she moves with practiced grace, her hands working tirelessly as she presents each cup with a bright, hopeful smile. One cannot help but marvel at the mysterious human impulse that draws people not merely to refreshment, but to this most unusual of beverages.
Truly, in all the varied wonders of the natural world, few sights are quite as delightfully peculiar as this young woman and her foot juice at the height of festival season."

The 2nd stage of the New Glenn is LOX/LH2. And that was fully stacked and loaded (to properly test everything in a launch config).
First stage is LOX/LCH4, "mee-thane" as the Brit fan bois at NSF call it.
It looks to me like the 2nd stage is where the explosion started.

As I recall the advent of color, much like the advent of sound, was initially used only in parts of movies. Very quickly it became an all or nothing thing (or used for meaning as in The Wizard of Oz) but movies where only a few scenes were in color did exist. Few of them remain because most of them were also distributed in full black and white to the majority of theaters.
This could of course be a misremembered Cliff Claven style fact either in whole or in part.

“I don’t need to tuck in my shirt, it looks fine”. Hm, it goes downhill from there.
I have a portable generator, about the size of a chunky suitcase, and weighs about 50 pounds. It is insane to carry around that much extra fat. I was about 80 pounds to the high side, and finally decided I wasn’t going to live like that.
One thing I didn’t realize, when someone gets super obese, every thing they do revolves around factors we don’t think about. Is the place I need to go, is it on the second floor? Are there steps involved? Well that poses a problem. They have to plan everything out from a logistics standpoint. What about chairs? Etc. I’m sure it’s all very depressing, contributing to more overeating, and finally never venturing outside. Really sad.

Historically there have been two pads at LC-36, A and B. In the current iteration, there's just the one LC-36A, but Bezos was working on building LC-36B.
Something I was just reading said it may be the best to just accelerate completion of B rather than trying to repair A. May be the fastest way to get everything back on track.

With that said, I have no clue about this blue origin thing. Am I wrong thinking its just a vanity project for Bezos while Musk is actually in it to win it?

I'm in the same boat timeline wise. And I'm just getting up to speed. The current Moon plans are in flux, and Isaacman and Trump admin have shaken things up.
At first, I wasn't too keen on Bezos and Blue Origin -- with the Bimbos in Space and New Shepard tourist shit, but then it hit me. If we're going to get back to the Moon and build a fucking moon bases (which we should have had a long time ago), we're going to need as many hands on deck as we can.
And competition is a good thing. So, I started pulling for Blue Origin, to at least give Elon some competition to do even better. And the current NASA/Artemis plans depending on both of them.

Exactly. New Shepard was suborbital (hell, just straight up and down, not even much sub at all), and New Glenn is orbital.
New Glenn is pretty big, a heavy-lift class. The current version they call "7 x 2", 7 first stage engines, and 2 second stage. Payload to LEO about 100K lbs. They have an even bigger version, "9 x 4" in development which would hit 150K lbs to LEO capacity, and 44K lbs to TLI capacity.

Just looking, New Glenn was supposed to launch two of the Mark 1 Blue Moon landers this year (Sept and later, maybe). These were going to provide a lot of "scouting" stuff at the lunar south pole.
And then, if they got test versions of their man-rated Mark 2 lander version, it was supposed to be tested in LEO with Orion as part of the Artemis III mission in 2027.
So, taking New Glenn out just fucks all that up.

It doesn't take long just entering your daily routine into a calorie calculator to realize that it's impossible to exercise your way to weight loss. A long and arduous workout can be countered (and then some) in moments, cheap and easy. The only way is bringing your consumption down, and exercising enough to keep your body from compensating by reducing your basal metabolism (which it may do).

From Wiki- (which is a great source as long as the subject doesn't impinge in any manner on progressive social.or political values)
"Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" is a poem for children written by American writer and poet Eugene Field and published on March 9, 1889. The original title was "Dutch Lullaby". The poem is a fantasy bed-time story about three children sailing and fishing among the stars from a boat which is a wooden shoe. The names suggest a sleepy child's blinking eyes and nodding head.

If you read the “expert” Health Expert advice, they like to claim there are dozens of reasons why Obesity is not a choice. But, in the same breath, they claim you can choose to lose the weight.
So which is it?
Posted by: Common Tater at May 28, 2026 11:35 PM (0gZLS)
As things often do, it comes back to behavioral economics. As Upton Sinclair said, it is very difficult to get a man to understand something, if his salary depends upon his not understanding it. In fact, that applied to him: he was a professional socialist, so his career depended upon not understanding how the power of incentive makes socialism impossible. Indeed, market economics explains that value is subjective, so the 'psychic' salary of goodfeelz is real and counts.
So, it is very difficult to get a man to understand something, when his goodfeelz depend upon his not understanding it. And for the obese, that may include how to lose weight by eating less. The power of incentive could make them functionally retarded.

This was about 1 kT of TNT equivalent. Starship 36 explosion was about 0.5 kT.
So this is going to clock in as the biggest American rocket explosion to date. The Rooskies still hold the record for the biggest, with the N-1 explosion at 7 kT.

Little more complicated than that, when you are really losing weight. Getting enough protein is usually an issue, since you are limited on calories so any protein takes up a fair bit of that. Then there is the slowdown of metabolism which occurs when the body is detecting starvation. So, yeah, you can just diet, but you are likely to lose muscle before much fat, and then your metabolism slows down, and you have to eat less....
Yes, I'm being watched closely by my doc, who tested my metabolism and is checking blood sugar levels, etc.
Just not eating causes more problems than it solves.

Knowing what or how much you can eat and stay within your limit helps much.
Mostly baked chicken, peanuts (busy hand to mouth was a big thing for me), tuna, & peanut butter 'n jelly for the treat.

Which is one of the reasons that I don't subscribe to the "Gluten Free" fad. Most studies show that gluten has pro-biotic qualities (similar to yogurt). And, while I can understand the necessity for some gluten-free products to accomodate those with Celiac disease, it should be the exception IMO, not the rule. Instead, as usual, it would appear that the few dictate to the many.

One problem is that the lack of visible results can crush motivation. Another is that it's small enough for the body to just drop the basal metabolism by that amount and negate it for no effect at all. So the ideal isn't actually practical for everyone. In practice, it can be threading between the Scylla and Charybdis of different pitfalls.

Well, I've been watching some zoomed-in slow motion replays of the New Glenn "anomaly" as they're calling it. They tried to light off the engines earlier, but something went wrong. Those NSF guys who watch everything 24/7 noticed the sound suppression system was started, but nothing happened. So there was some problem that aborted the engine start.
Later, they tried again and the engines were lit off. But from the start, it was much brighter than normal.
And then, with the very bright lower fire plume, just as I thought I saw, the second stage did blow. And then the whole thing went up in that massive fireball.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at May 29, 2026 01:42 AM (w6EFb)
Another wild thing (I hate to say "cool" for this) was you'll note little vapor trail looking things coming off the top of the fireball moving much faster than the fireball was expanding.
Turns out those were these little very high pressure gas tanks (helium and others). The got a little hole punched in them, and that high pressure gas just launched them off at very high speed.

There was another "anomaly" on April 9th, with Blue Origin down there, turns out, something that wasn't reported much. This was before the April 19th launch where the 2nd stage failed and they didn't get the payload high enough.
Anyway on the 9th something happened during testing of a 2nd stage, which blew a hole in the roof of one their buildings at the Cape.

No, just a static fire test of the first stage engines. Now, for these, the vehicle is in a full flight configuration -- you want everything to be as it will be at a real launch -- so the 2nd stage was loaded with LOX and LH2.
The real launch was planned to be on June 4th.

Leveraging coarse moon regolith:
1. Mechanical Interlocking in Geopolymers and Lunar Concrete
The angular, irregular particle shapes enhance mechanical bonding in geopolymer mixes and other regolith-based materials. Sharp edges and rough surfaces improve interlocking within the binder matrix (e.g., alkali-activated aluminosilicates), contributing to higher compressive and shear strengths compared to rounded aggregates

>> I do like the proper transatlantic accent of the early to mid 20th century....
The Transatlantic or Mid-Atlantic accent was entirely made up, a "received accent", peaking in the early 20th Century. It was created by upper class Northeastern to sound all sophisticated. Walter Winchell famously spoke it.
It's how Cary Grant talked. Also Katherine Hepburn. And Thurston Howell.
Mr. Howell's version was more "Locust Valley Lockjaw", a particularly snotty variant of it. Frasier and Niles Crane also used it for pompous effect.

From DU:
"Did anyone else hear this response from Talarico to insults about his "masculinity"?
He is on a five-city tour of TX and talking to people as the matchup between him and Paxton begins. He addressed the masculinity thing by using his father as an example. He said, "A real man serves others."
Then he gave the example of his own father who used to mow the lawn every Saturday morning and then without telling anyone, would go next door and mow the neighbor's lawn. She was an elderly widow. He finished by saying, "That's what a man does. He serves others. And he does it without bragging or complaining.
Imagine that. I love that response."
Well, that was his dad. How about you, son?

That clipped patrician accent was very common even in crappy movies.
Watched an old movie via Rifftrax, supposedly taking place in Idaho, and the woman stopped and asked directions, and Mike quipped, I love that authentic Idaho accent.
Oddly enough, John Carradine was in it.

The Brahmin accent was a real one. There are differences with the proper Trans-Atlantic, which was entirely a made-up thing taught in the elite prep schools.
I'm not sure if the famous Thurston Howell Locust Valley Lockjaw was ever really real or just a localized affected version of Trans-Atlantic.
Anyway, if you want to sound really pompous and snotty and old money, LVL is the way to go.

I use WordWeb, mostly to check spelling, but also when my word-grabber is failing to pull a word I know I know. It has three neat features, even in the free version:
https://wordweb.info/free/
* As a light stand-alone app, you can use it from any program, without having to open a browser (or switch away from the tab you're on). Just highlight a word, and ctrl-alt-w or ctrl-right-click.
* In addition to the built-in offline dictionary/thesaurus, it has tabs for Wikipedia (which I never use) and Wiktionary (which I use all the time).
* Further, they recently added an actually useful "AI Suggestions" feature for fuzzy matches, like when XTC introduced the term 'wignat'. It gave the accurate, politically-incorrect meaning.

I don't know enough about this to argue, other than ever source I've ever read about it describes as not a real regional accent naturally spoken, but a taught, manufactured accent.

I only scream like a girl with snakes. And then it's a high pitched sqwee as I run the 100yrd dash faster than Flo Jo.
My husband may scream like a girl eventually as he's now dealing with my mother's trust. He was the trustee and then she verbally promoted my brother and I didn't care. And found a bunch of crap wrong with this we want to avoid someday. I'm glad it's getting done now before she's either out of it or in heaven.
We had a "meeting" which my mother said was not needed. Yes it was needed as my father has been dead 16yrs and everything went to her. She's alert and happy and did not want to deal with it. Someday she won't be alert as she is on the other side of 95yrs now.
As usual I'm just along for the ride. I was demoted from being her healthcare surrogate years ago. Which is fine since I'm over 1000 miles away and my brother will call me, etc.
We don't have a dysfunctional family in feuding, so there's that.
There is some procrastination to rules and regulations of my father's trust on my mother's part apparently now showing up.

Yes! See! There's at least an "a" in there, other vowels too. But I can't figure out how it gets there. I try to mimic the sound and get alternation between vowels. But they produce all the vowels at the same time. It's like they've developed polyphonic vocal chords.

About 10 minutes went by maybe, and a pair of Ravens surfing the thermals zooked right down over them. Where’d they come from?? I didn’t think about it, but the odor must have been pure ambrosia to them. After a while they flew away, and I swear they squawked “thank you” in their raven grok language.

You don’t even have to be a “Zionist” to see this is Bullshit. Jews are like the old Canary in the Coal Mine. These fucking clowns don’t stop there. If you can’t rationalize this clearly, just think of the principles involved. You might think, “well I’m not a Jew, what do I care?” We’ve seen this movie before. We have to stand, and fight against bigotry and race hatred, we have freedom of religion and conscience and all those “Liberal” ideals that are no longer operative with the usual suspects. Fuck them.

Stayed at a dumpy motel in Reedsport. I saw the sun rise with a few friendly barn swallows who were clearly used to humans. The smell of the sea was captivating.
We had lunch at Mo's in Newport, down on the wharf. Watched the cranky sea lions vying for the sunny spots. Watched the surf at Boiler Bay. Beautiful, sunny day.
It was a kind of spur-of-the-moment trip. But we are planning plenty of better planned trips.
we have done a lot of trips to the coast, but it had been a decade. Forgot just how captivating it is.

I have seen for years that 'they' have claimed to be making 'lists' for the camps for such things as benign as supportive of certain countries or having a sign for the oppo party in your yard. The main crime - not wanting to get on the train or putting others on it gets you a ride.
Conversely, Santa should be keeping a naughty list of all those who expressed desires to put some on the train to camps.

Judge Clears Way for Trump to Tighten Verification for Mail-In Votes; Scott Bessent Touts New IRS Rules to Identify Antifa's Funders; OMB Director Russ Vought Acts to Make Sure That Federal Grants Go to US Citizens Not Foreigners and Illegal Aliens
A lot of #Winning.
Democrats actually opposed Trump's rules to tighten verification of mail-in votes by saying that if voter names were checked against lists of US citizens, Democrat voters would be barred from voting. Yes. Yes they will. That is the point. Your llegal alien hordes are not allowed to vote and they should be disqualified from voting. But hey, you say this Never Ever Happens, so this should have no effect on Democrat vote totals. Right? The Democrats pretended they were worried about "inaccurate" citizenship lists but we all know they're terrified of accurate ones. Besides, the judge ruled: Every single federal requirement is subject to some error in implementation but we don't rule them all unconstitutional, given that people have the right to appeal and have errors corrected. Duh.A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to implement his executive order tightening mail-in voting, slapping down Democrats' arguments for now that federal efforts to police voter rolls with citizenship checks was illegal. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm that would warrant a preliminary injunction.You'll love this: He ruled the Democrats had no standing to challenge the rules. They could establish no "harm" to themselves.
Nichols rejected several of the Democrats' arguments that Trump's executive order could disenfranchise millions of voters, including that creating state-by-state citizenship lists to check voter rolls would somehow be harmful, even if they were inaccurate. ... The judge also rejected the notion that the federal government sending information to the states about voters would somehow violate voters' privacy. "Plaintiffs fail to demonstrate that such action--that is, the sharing of name, age, and residence information between and among government agencies, if already known to the federal government--would cause a harm sufficient to establish Article III standing," he ruled.Bessent says the IRS will track donations to the terrorist group Antifa.
The grant-subgrant system is set up to disguise Democrat money-laundering. Terrorists have members called "cleanskins" -- terrorists who have no known criminal record or association with terrorists. These "clean skins" are used to infiltrate organizations and pull levers in favor of terrorists. (Note a "cleanskin" can also refer to an undercover cop who has no publicly-known association with cops, so he can be infiltrated into a criminal group.) Likewise, Democrats have "cleanskin" NGOs that they can pour US taxpayer money into. And then these "clean" NGOs donate to dirty NGOs and straight up terrorist organizations -- or Chinese covid labs adding furin cleavage sites to viruses. The Grantee/Subgrantee system is designed precisely so that Democrats can divert taxpayer money to illegal/antiamerican/pure Democrat pillager groups. They money is given to the "clean skin" NGOs, who then immediately send the money off to where it was always intended to go, the "dirty skin" groups.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday highlighted changes to IRS reporting policy that would help the federal government identify the funding sources for Antifa. The organization has faced considerable scrutiny in recent years amid its repeated civil disturbances and involvement in anti-law enforcement activities. Speaking from the White House, Bessent pointed to a change in policy that would require non-profits to identify their grant recipients.
Secretary Bessent tells me the FBI and Treasury Department will have "a lot to report" on their investigation into the funding of Antifa. He says their findings will come in the weeks and months ahead. pic.twitter.com/CTSKp06AHw

Unbelievably, there was no citizenship requirement for receiving US federal grants. Now there is:
BREAKING: Russ Vought at OMB has just overhauled $1 TRILLION in federal grants by adding: Strict E-Verify requirements, English-language rules, and political appointee oversight to ensure taxpayer dollars go to American citizens first.

After losing his primary, Massie says he will use his remaining time in office to expose the Epstein client list by reading the names out loud on the House floor.
When is Massie's funeral? They whacked Epstein's ass. In jail. They won't hesitate to whack Massie.

Anyway, we have the birthright citizenship, firing the Fed, and the ballot counting cases as the remaining big ones.
I've not seen any of the usual "this Justice has yet to write an opinion" stuff.
I'm pretty sure they'll say ballots have to be received by Election Day. I don't think they'll order they have to be all counted by midnight, though.
And, everyone says they'll keep the birthright citizenship and Fed independence.
But this Court has become increasingly "we have to follow what the law and Constitution says precisely, not what we wish it to say or want it to say--even in the face of decades of rulings otherwise."
It's just my feel of the general trend of the Court.
I'm saying limited to full wins for us on those as well.

Okay sunset at NYC will be at 8:18 PM EDT. And today gets the "half-sun" Manhattanhenge effect. A little before then, they should see about half the disc of the sun above the horizon line up nicely with the "E-W" (about ~30 degree off) streets.
If there's any Morons there, that would be a cool thing to see. Tomorrow gives the full sun alignment, the whole disc of the sun right above the horizon looking down the streets.

I use WordWeb, mostly to check spelling, but also when my word-grabber is failing to pull a word I know I know. It has three neat features, even in the free version:
https://wordweb.info/free/
* As a light stand-alone app, you can use it from any program, without having to open a browser (or switch away from the tab you're on). Just highlight a word, and ctrl-alt-w or ctrl-right-click.
* In addition to the built-in offline dictionary/thesaurus, it has tabs for Wikipedia (which I never use) and Wiktionary (which I use all the time).
* Further, they recently added an actually useful "AI Suggestions" feature for fuzzy matches, like when XTC introduced the term 'wignat'. It gave the accurate, politically-incorrect meaning.

Toxic Incompetent Radical Leftwing Propagandists Are Finally S-Canned at 60 Minutes, and the Left is (You'll Never Guess!) Hysterical
Stephen L. MillerLunatic Trash-Karen Sharyl Alfonsi threw her last hissy-fit over Bari Weiss holding up her hit-piece about CECOT to get comment from the object of her hit-piece -- the Trump Administration, of course -- and then publicly complained about her employers. (And probably did some leaking, but we'll just have to guess about that.) One of her previous acts of Democrat Party Service was attacking Ron DeSantis for arranging a deal for the Magic Vaccine, which the media claimed was absolutely necessary for the survival of the species, to be made available through the large market chain Publix. She asserted that DeSantis had made this deal in exchange for a $100,000 donation -- and would not take Democrats' word for it that they pitched and negotiated this deal with Publix themselves. And ergo, the $100,000 donation was irrelevant. Meanwhile, this ugly crone is claiming she was fired for her "honest" journalism.
@redsteeze 2h 60 Minutes was genocided.
ShipwreckedcrewA Democrat mayor of Palm Beach alled the story "intentionally false" as well, saying this wasn't just "bad information," it was a deliberate, calculated lie:
@shipwreckedcrew 3h "Honest" -- like in her dishonest piece about Ron DeSantis and the Publix Supermarket chain, linking Publix being given a COVID vaccine contract in exchange for a $100,000 contribution to DeSantis? Deceptive Editing: Alfonsi confronted Gov. about the Publix deal, but 60 Minutes edited his response by omitting the portion of his answer explaining that CVS and Walgreens were tied up administering vaccines in long-term care facilities at the time, and that Publix was simply the first pharmacy to volunteer and prove it was ready for the larger roll-out needed. Florida's emergency management director -- a Democrat -- publicly stated that the decision to use Publix was made by his office, not the Governor, and that undermined entirely the conspiracy narrative that was the foundation of the 60 Minutes story. Other Democrats in Florida and Publix pushed back against the story. But that didn't slow Alfonsi or 60 Minutes down since De Santis was, at that time, considered to be the frontrunner for the GOP POTUS nomination in 2024. "In a Sunday night tweet directed at "60 Minutes," Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz wrote, "I said this before and I'll say it again. [Publix] was recommended by [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Department of Public Health]. Period! Full stop!" "No one from the Governors office suggested Publix," Moskowitz added. "It's just absolute malarkey." Is it that kind of "honest" journalism you are referring to??
Well, they're resorting to euphemisms because they consider in unprofessional to just tell the truth about you: You're a batshit crazy partisan who is too unattractive and probably has too checkered a past to go directly into Democrat politics so you work from the shadows in the media. How's that? Is that better than the euphemism? Weiss also let go of a 60 Minutes producer, and replaced him with Nick Bilton. The media are screaming that he has no prior television journalistic experience even though he's been an investigative journalist at the NYT and Vanity Fair. And they're screaming for simple turf-protection reasons: They have a guild and they don't want non-guild-members replacing them so that they lose their phoney-baloney jobs. I've got five words for you: Learn to fucking code, bitches.
Dylan Byers
@DylanByers May 27 NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss: "Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes. Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over. In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and "restructuring" to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Long-time propagandists Katie Couric and Jim Acosta say they are very concerned that CNN and CBS News are about to become propaganda outlets.

Our spring festive finch egg story ended in a tragedy of hideousness as apparently, per my dude, finches are trial by death and error as young parents. It takes a few times for them to figure it all out. Our new parents basically starved their babies and it was disgusting. This was after videos to grands of the spring wonder of nature and birds feeding babies.
Husband threw the dead birds, nest and plant into the garbage before we left town. The story is to tell the grands (if they remember to ask) that the birdies flew off and his camera did not work at the time.
He's still watching eagle chicks on youtube. Probably wants an eagle family of our own now vs the murder finches. The mother finch seemed retarded after seeming good for two weeks.

It's funny; the whole premise of the first movie was Danny Glover's character was retiring...at 50...in 1987.

Muslim Man Shouts Allahu Akbar as He Stabs Three Citizens In Switzerland; a Leftist SWATs Amy Coney Barrett to Get Cops to Kill Her; a Man Threatens to Kill Erika Kirk and Blow Up Every TPUSA Event
Robby Starbuck
@robbystarbuck 4h Someone tried to get Amy Coney Barrett, her kids and husband killed last night. That's what swatting really is: Attempted murder. Cops come in guns blazing expecting a shootout. People who initiate these should go to prison for life. Thankfully, the cops talked with her security first and prevented a potential tragedy. The left has embraced evil.
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 3h 🚨 HOLY CRAP! A leftist just tried to get Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and her family KILLED by SWATTING her, reporting "gunshots" at her house last night Barrett notably signed onto the ruling against racial gerrymandering, which harms Dems. Swatting = ATTEMPTED M*RDER In 911 audio, they said: "Units responding to suspicious noise...unknown if it's going to be a swatting situation." Whoever made the call committed an act of terrorism. Lock them up.
Police responded to a call for the sound of gunshots at the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett last night, but quickly realized it was a swatting call and cleared after meeting with her security detail.

A man has been arrested after three people were injured in a stabbing attack at a train station in Switzerland. Police said the three victims - Swiss nationals aged 28, 43 and 52 - were hospitalised after the attack at Winterthur train station. The suspect, a 31-year-old Swiss man, used a bladed weapon, they said, adding that the motive was under investigation.Swiss man? Others say he's a Turk.
Switzerland's President Guy Parmelin said on social media he was "shocked by the terrorist attack this morning in Winterthur". "This deeply affects me," he added. Mario Fehr, Canton Zurich's security director, said it was "clear from the scene that the motive for this act must be sought in the realm of radicalisation and extremism". Marius Weyermann, commander of the Zurich cantonal police, said at a news conference with Fehr that the suspect lived in the area and had come to authorities' attention in 2015 for distributing Islamic State (IS) group propaganda.No big deal. At least he doesn't vote for right-wing politicians.
He said that on Monday, the suspect was sent to a psychiatric hospital after he had presented himself at a police station, where he made "incoherent statements". The next day he left the hospital. Officers took him back, and on Wednesday doctors certified that he no longer posed a danger to himself or others, he added.The terrorist-aligned Associated Press forgot to mention this "Swiss man" shouted the name of his murder-god as he butchered people. Whoops! Whoopsie! Either a member of the far left, or a member of Candace Owens' cult. Which would also be a member of the far left:

They're really looking at violence of "extreme right-wingers", which is why a Aryan meth-head killing his brother over a suspicion he's holding out on him, is violence by "right-wing extremist".
What contributes to that balance, is they are rather unwilling to classify "left-wing extremist", so of course this group they can't populate is less violent than the group that they have a huge butterfly net for.

Wut?
part of the reason swatting has become so prevalent is police aren't responsible for their actions. So if they break into the wrong house and shoot someone, they're likely to get away with it.
If someone's willing to risk prison time on a prank like this, I'm surprised they didn't pick a different justice.
There's no question it was a right winger. ACB very occasionally doesn't side with the other conservatives on the court (same with Kavanaugh, but to a lesser degree). If it was someone who hated Republicans they'd have targeted Alito or Thomas.
*insert elmo shrug gif here* As Melania stated with her coat, I Really Don’t Care Do You?
She is directly responsible for the deaths of women who cannot access lifesaving reproductive healthcare in regressive states because of a stroke of her pen. I don’t give a shit what happens to her.
Many of these are called in by the ‘victims’ or some accomplice, to add a greater sense of victimhood and persecution! 😂🤷♂️ Maybe that's why the county didn't release the call audio.

Jill Biden feared her husband had been drugged as he melted down on stage during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
The former first lady, 74, watched in horror as Joe Biden, 83, stumbled over his words, terrified that voters would conclude this was how he always was, she reveals in a bombshell new memoir.
'Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?' Jill writes in View From the East Wing.
She remembers thinking: 'Oh God - will people watching assume this is how he is all the time?'
Biden appeared frail and repeatedly lost his train of thought as he slurred his way through the infamous June 2024 clash with Trump, a watershed moment that triggered Democratic allies to openly question his fitness for office.
It wasn't just his supporters who saw disaster: Joe himself admitted he'd suffered a primetime car crash in front of the voting public, Jill reveals.
As Biden walked off stage, he confessed to her: 'I really f***ed up, didn't I?'
'"Yes, you did," I whispered back,' Jill writes.

No, not even the lies that make them look bad are believable. I don't for a minute believe that "Biden" even knew where he was. He may have thought he was campaigning for the Senate. He was never "President" because he was never *present*.

No one was watching and enforcing safety regulations for women for DECADES.
The Gosnell Grand Jury Report concluded that political agendas and bureaucratic apathy completely eclipsed the state's duty to protect women's health. It wasn't until a joint FBI and DEA raid targeting his illegal prescription pill ring in 2010 that the squalor and illegal practices were finally uncovered.

That proclamation is amusing in that they use prison sentences as a benchmark.

The former first lady, 74, watched in horror as Joe Biden, 83, stumbled over his words, terrified that voters would conclude this was how he always was, she reveals in a bombshell new memoir.
'Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?' Jill writes in View From the East Wing.
She remembers thinking: 'Oh God - will people watching assume this is how he is all the time?'
Biden appeared frail and repeatedly lost his train of thought as he slurred his way through the infamous June 2024 clash with Trump, a watershed moment that triggered Democratic allies to openly question his fitness for office.
It wasn't just his supporters who saw disaster: Joe himself admitted he'd suffered a primetime car crash in front of the voting public, Jill reveals.
As Biden walked off stage, he confessed to her: 'I really f***ed up, didn't I?'
'"Yes, you did," I whispered back,' Jill writes.

Dr Jill, as a doctor, knows better. Joe is having something similar to little micro-strokes, but are not stroke-strokes. Not life threatening but each one knows a few IQ points off and leaves other effects as well. Like stair steps down vs. a big honking drop off of brain function like a full blown stroke.

"Deep within the cool, darkened caves of a cheese cellar, a quiet miracle of nature unfolds. Here, what was once mere milk has been transformed into a rich, creamy wheel — now gloriously adorned with delicate veins of blue-green mold. This is no decay in the ordinary sense. No, this is the sophisticated work of Penicillium roqueforti, a tiny fungus that has been carefully encouraged to colonize its host. As it spreads its intricate network through the cheese, it creates bold, pungent flavors and that unmistakable earthy tang that connoisseurs so revere. What appears to the untrained eye as simple rot is, in fact, one of nature’s most delicious collaborations — a masterpiece of controlled decomposition."

Flying fine altho I hate Boeing with the heat of 1000 suns vs Airbus. Last night the oven was busted and I had some sort of poison hummus vs what I ordered and stomach not pleased. My dude had a turkey sandwich that looked like crap. Too tired to complain as what difference does it make on the tarmac? (I learned this or leared this from Hillary).
I think I slept 12hrs straight and need to do this again. Someday I will tell you of the dog training book of my SIL's from a weird exotic breed. She's also a weird breed of human so it's fabulous.

Yes, thanks for asking, Fen. The virus has left for someone else. I was tired walking a mile throught the airport to the gate. A different tired walking from the gate to the car on return but for different reasons.
When we landed in NOLA I got a text from my bro that the power was out and generators on. I sent him text photos of my tired DIL with baby,looking tired from travel and said find us a hotel. He found one. I also told him I was not telling anyone til they ate a late lunch as I could sense hangry on the shuttle bus to the rental car.
I told them and there was silence after they ate. I even encouraged son to see if NOLA had a drive through alcohol place as I did not care prior to telling him. I softened the blow that there was a hotel.
My dude looked up the hotel and part of the title was refuge and he said refugee that made me laugh. It was great for two nights and had a pool with a lazy river for the grands.Two nights at farm
It all worked out and our family are a polite breed and no one died or was maimed. Even the weird SIL because of my fatigue.

Formerly Beloved British Series "Doctor Who" Is Now So Toxically Woke and Unpopular That No Actors Are Willing to Step Into the Role
Formerly Beloved British Car Brand Jaguar Loses 99.4% Of Its Profit Year-Over-Year
Who can say why. It's all a mystery.
The role has been cursed by wokeness, and now no actors want to play Doctor Who, because they don't want to be associated with the "baggage" of the previous seasons of woke poison. Although the show is currently on a long unplanned hiatus, the BBC had planned a "Christmas" special-- which became a New Years Special during its woke years because the show didn't want to acknowledge Christmas*. But even the "Christmas" special is in doubt because they just can't find an actor to play Doctor Who. This is probably due to the fact that they are determined to do more woke gender- and race-bending stunt casting but the potential DEI Doctors don't want to jump into this garbage swamp at any price. Everything woke turns to shit:The ungrateful gay immigrant flounced when he was asked to be a jury panelist for their boradcast of Eurovision. The rumor that went around was that she refused because Israel was a contestant. The "official" reasons for the sudden withdraw all seem like bullshit -- too tired! his schedule is so hectic! -- and they keep changing. Soon after he was announced to no longer be Doctor Who. Which suggests the BBC was sick of him after his horrible ratings. People with horrible ratings don't get to act like entitled divas for long.
The Doctor Who Christmas special could be exterminated as the BBC is allegedly unable to find a new lead star. The show is in a state of flux after ending its latest series in May 2025 with the sudden departure of Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord.
Have they?
Former companion Billie Piper appeared to replace Gatwa as the show's new Doctor, when the character underwent a regeneration at the end of the episode. Piper's inclusion was a "very last-minute" decision, according to the star, and came after a sharp decline in viewership ratings. The BBC opted to put the show on hiatus for the remainder of 2025, meaning there was no festive special, but showrunner Russell T Davies wrote an episode, starring Piper, that was due to be released this December.
However, it's been reported that the special might be scrapped as bosses are struggling to find anyone to take on the permanent role of the 16th Doctor, as Piper's appearance will be for one episode only. Instead, the BBC would forge ahead with a new series airing Easter 2027. "With less than seven months to go, [the special] looks like it's hanging in the balance," a source told The Sun. "The problem is that they have found it difficult to find anyone who'll take on the part of the 16th Time Lord, partly because it now feels like a role that comes with all the baggage of the most recent series.
The source added: "There are fears that even if they do manage to pull something together, it is going to be a poor cousin to previous Christmas specials which have always been adored by fans." The BBC declined to comment.
... "Rest assured, Doctor Who is going nowhere," Phillips said at the Edinburgh TV Festival, with Lindsay Salt, the BBC's director of drama, saying they were "committed" to bringing the show back.What an unfortunate and revealing way to phrase that.
LOL. It's like she's subconsciously trying to admit the truth.
Phillips addressed a potential end to the BBC's "great" production partnership with Disney+, adding: "Going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC. The Tardis is going nowhere."
Gatwa, 32, said he left the programme because "it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally".And Judaically. Speaking of woke disasters: Remember Jaguar's aggressive repositioning from a car for wealthy men looking for a little speed and style to a transgender toaster for mentally-ill folx on welfare? Their profits dropped, and this is not a joke, 99.4%. The Guardian claims it's all due to Trump's tariffs (which are now a very reasonable 10%), a cyberattack, and generally poor conditions in the auto industry. It has nothing to do with deciding that rich men were no longer the target clientele but rather transgender mutants living in public housing.
Jaguar Land Rover annual profit falls 99% after US tariffs and cyber-attack take toll Britain's largest carmaker says sales also hit by competition in China as it publishes financial results by Jasper Jolly Jaguar Land Rover's annual profits have slumped by more than 99% as it counted the cost of US tariffs and a cyber-attack that disrupted its factories for months. Britain's largest carmaker made only 14m pounds in profit before tax and exceptional items in the year to March, down from 2.5bn pounds the year before, according to financial results published on Thursday. The manufacturer, which employs 33,000 people in the UK, suffered a series of blows as Donald Trump's automotive industry tariffs caused turmoil in its important export market. That was followed by a damaging cyber-attack on the last day of August that forced the company to shut down most of its systems and factories for weeks, with disruption rippling on through the autumn. The tariffs, which Trump raised to 25% before agreeing a deal for 10% for the UK, hit US demand for JLR's luxury cars, before supply of products was halted by the attack. As a result, revenues fell to 22.9bn pounds, down by more than a fifth compared with the previous 12 months.Did anything happen to the brand that might have caused demand to fall, I wonder?
JLR also said sales were hit by competition in China, where a huge number of carmakers are introducing new products. JLR was not alone in struggling with tough conditions within the automotive industry. The Japanese manufacturer Honda on Thursday reported its first annual loss in 70 years as a listed company.Uh-huh. Your anus is very resilient but there's just so much pounding it can take. No mention of this:
Honda was forced to write off 1.6tn yen (7.4bn pounds) in investments in electric cars after Trump removed subsidies for battery vehicles, pushing it to a loss of 423bn yen. PB Balaji, who took over as chief executive of JLR only a few weeks after the hack, said: "JLR faced a challenging year with revenue and profit affected by multiple headwinds, including a pause in production following the cyber incident." However, he said the company "ended well" and had "come back resiliently".
Jaguar's 'Copy Nothing' advert was unfiltered pure woke slop. https://t.co/5QdSFgoccb pic.twitter.com/SqMJmAOWMv

The catastrophic drop in profits has nothing to do with Trump's tariffs, as other Euro luxury car companies made piles of money despite the tariffs. Lambo had a record year despite the tariffs. So the Guardian is full of shit.
But ... I wish it were true! Jag is a foreign company owned 100% by Indians (Tata). Who gives a shit about the profits of Indian companies who are trying to fuck us in the ass with cheap labor and punitive tariffs on our products? Fuck them.

The culture is suffused with people who think that audiences who complain about woke casting are backwards hicks with no power because they haven't managed to change anything at the BBC ever.
And, you have young actors who would be looking at regular paychecks for years just taking on the role which could lead to Matt Smith/David Tennant levels of stardom.
They can't find someone in that world to take on the role because of internet trolls against the last two Doctors?
That's...fascinating.

Ace, as I read the reports, it's not Jaguar that lost 99% of its profits, but the entire JLR company. JLR is Jaguar and Land Rover.
Jaguar is a total basket-case with no cars whatsoever to sell. But Land Rover is not in the same boat. Land Rover sells several popular SUVs.
For the entire JLR company to take a yuge shit is much bigger news.

The date gets their early and while waiting at her door hears the fire alarm. He knows where her spare key is so goes in right as she comes running straight out of the shower to get the food out of the oven.
Oopsie!
I tried watching the whole movie and it was bad bad bad - I didn't make it to the shower scene. Does that mean I lose my man card?

There is something about authenticity.
It's why Crockett inspired such loyalty in the Texas black electorate. She seems authentic (though we all know it's an act because of those younger videos of her).
It's a tough balance to strike.

Also in the new, a Muslim nanny beheaded the Christian child she was minding and went outside carrying the head screaming Allu Akbar and this is was jihad.

Disagree. He was a good character, played by a good actor but the gayness was an obvious afterthought added on for PC-ness. The episodes where he was just Jack Harkness were good; the ones where he was Gay Jack Harkness were cringe.

The problem with tap water for fine culinary use like coffee is that most municipalities don't bother making the water potable by filtration, but by dumping a shitload of cheap chlorine into the water plant. It makes the water safe, but you can taste and smell the chlorine right out of the faucet, and it generally doesn't react well with food and especially with coffee.

Which is where I come in.
I hope his happens forever. Because it results in a lot of women in bars looking to meet a Mr Winkie who can stay stiff for more than five minutes. There is an endless supply of these women who tell their husbands they’re on a business trip. Meanwhile they’re with me taking various trips through the Kama Sutra and expounding, after riding me like a rodeo bull, how their husbands, who they don’t realize they turned into obedient wimps, would never ride them like a birthday pony, and then turn them over for another round of doggie style.
Keep them wimpy, AWFL’s, and I’ll keep you filled like a guy in the Dunkin’ Donuts factory.

Probably be better if Nicholas Cage was 20-30 years younger. The stunt Spider dude is clearly not him.
And like all streaming series it has a very leisurely pace so everyone at home watching their phones can keep up if they glance at "Spider Noir" every 10-15 minutes.
Eh, see it or don't. It's better than "The Boys" if that helps.

I've often thought the 'best' thing we could do for Hollywood, the BBC, CBC, etc is to start a website movement.
1. We're going to refuse to watch any shows with any woke crap.
2. We won't watch new movies or shows until they are fully complete to avoid the habit of inserting woke late. When a show is done and completely free of woke, it's on the watchlist.

I hate to say it, but I strongly suggest staying on the NY side. Canada uses the area surrounding Niagra Falls for refugee housing.....
(me) I took my family to visit Canada for my eldest's HS graduation (we gave him a choice, party or trip). We walked from the hotel for about a mile on empty streets at about 1am to see the falls at night. This was six years ago. I assume if I did that now, we would likely experience the stabby version of cultural enrichment. Damn.

Hollywood needs to fire a lot of people and start over. The L.A./London bubble prevents any of them from doing anything anti-woke, because their jobs depend on it.
There are so many creative associations and unions with so many woke rules embedded in the system, nothing short of bankruptcy will wake these people up to reality at this point.
Take Nolan’s Odyssey movie for instance.

Fidel Castro's Daughter Doesn't Deny That Blackface-Wearing Gay Canadian Justin Trudeau Might Be Her Bastard Half-Brother
He looks like Castro, and he's a stone-cold authoritarian communist bitch. Almost as if he was trying to impress the man he knew to be his father.
His mother was said to be enamored of Fidel Castro and would visit the country a lot. Whether her cuck husband Pierre Trudeau approved or objected impotently, we don't know. Apparently this rumor has been "debunked." Allegedly Trudeau's mother did not meet Fidel Castro until 1976 -- allegedly -- and Castreau was born in 1971. So this could just be a bunch of hooey. But Castro's own daughter seems to accept the possibility of the "conspiracy theory" being true.Alina Fernandez, the exiled daughter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, was pressed on Tuesday night over claims that former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is her "half brother," and did little to put the long-running conspiracy theory to rest. The claim, mentioned by President Donald Trump in his 2024 Save America book and pushed by online believers, alleges that Castro is Trudeau's real father, not Pierre Trudeau. ... "For years we've heard rumors that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada , could be your half brother. What do you think about it?" she said. Fernandez smiled and apparently unwilling to give up any family lore, she replied: "The only thing I can say is that his mother used to visit the country very often." "Well that may be a tell then," the host followed. "I guess that's a half answer." "Yes," her guest responded. "Do you plan to call him and maybe find out?" Pavlich pressed. "No, no," Fernandez said. "If he wants he's welcome but I won't, I won't. I think he keeps that to himself and you have to respect that."
Fidel Castro’s daughter Alina Fernández addresses the rumors that Justin Trudeau is her half brother.

The strangest part of her recent interview with @KatiePavlich is that Fernández did not outwardly deny the story.

There's only one way to be sure.

Probably. You could argue nature vs. nurture.
People are willing to / have to accept that physical characteristics are significantly affected by genetic factors then one would have to open to mental attributes are significantly affected too.
That "communist" is a crude broad category is what it is despite a broad group of factors lumped in there.
A big factor might be simply "independence". Those who like to be left alone are highly unlikely to want to be "in charge". This is w/o getting into aptitude.

========
We've actually had a handful of these agreements for years. They've been on the books, but largely unused, for a while.
The noteworthy thing is the growth of the practice, Trump's administration negotiating it with more countries to help expedite deportations.
And it's not that the individual doesn't want to go back to their home country. Outside of legit asylum claims, they have to go back to their home countries unless their home countries don't want them. Usually criminals with criminal histories.
So, the Honduran illegal murderer that Honduras doesn't want to take back gets sent to Djibouti. Where there is no serious Latin population, his non-existent French does him no good, and he probably ends up dead in a ditch because he tries to rape someone three days after arriving.

Did y'all see Rubio announced we have deportation agreements with 20 countries? So if you're an illegal from El Salvador, you have the choice to go back home, or get deported by the US to Haiti or some other crap-hole. Given that choice, many will elect to go home.

Re the timing.
Margaret and Pierre got married in March 1971, so I doubt she immediately made a secret trip to Cuba to have sex with Fidel.
I read her autobiography, "Beyond Reason," as one of my informal anthropology projects. She wrote the book decades ago and she described her admiration for Castro and her excitement at meeting him for the first time with gushy frankness. Or frank gushiness.
She also talked about her true love -- some guy named Yves, I think -- and chasing around the world looking for him when her marriage foundered (he had died). I don't think she did Castro.

1) we are guys, it is kind of how we insult each other on a lizard brain level.
2) this guy, if he wasn't gay, did not care or decided not to do anything about his wife fucking a bunch of other dudes.
Given those two options, I'd say gay is a bit more honorable.

Oh, that's just a guy thing. There's a YouTube short where a street interviewer asks a guy if he's straight or gay, shows the guy a photo of another guy and asks if he looks straight or gay, then asks if he thinks he himself looks straight or gay. Then he takes interviewee #1's photo to the next guy and asks the same questions, then takes interviewee #2's photo to the next guy and asks the same questions, and so on.
Every single guy says that he's straight and that the other guy looks gay. (My favorite, for reasons, was the guy who answered that he was "Um.. straight." Probably just caught of guard! Confused, like "What, you can't tell?") Only a few had enough self-awareness to anticipate that *another* guy looking at *him* might not think he looks straight.

They feel guilty for not being born poor, so they set about annoying the poor by trying to “help” the poor.
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Fidel et al., got lots of good press in the West early on in their careers. Why, they will surely become more Democratic with time.
There’s this really bizarre blind spot about dictators. Yeah, so it’s a complete failure, millions murdered by psychopathic bastards, but it just needs a little more fine-tuning and Utopia Here We Come!
Hemingway supposedly hung around Che and the firing squads liquidating the boogie capitalists in Cuba. He liked to watch. That’s a real POS right there, if true. He did suck start a shotgun later on in his career, so he gets props for that I guess.

And Iran says lots of shit, all while they still lose $450 million a day in lost import/export revenues, inflation is exploding, they're culling all their chickens because they import most of their food and can't feed the chickens anymore, and only scared Indian tanker captains with empty threats.
People get frustrated that diplomacy is even happening, but remove the language of diplomacy from the situation and look at it all again.
There's a siege on Iran, They can get about 1/100 of their normal trade with Caspain ports and railroads to Pakistan.

The object of the war was not low gas prices, but eliminating Iran's ability to launch nukes and fund terrorist proxies. That's the lens to look at the conflict in, not gas prices.

still better than the money spent emptying LA county reservoirs over the years.
The Sandy Fire in my area is now 100 percent contained, only 1 house lost almost at once where it started. Interesting that the several large, full reservoirs in the area helped contain the fire because it was in Ventura county. Only a few dozen fighters are around keeping an eye on it down from the 500 or so working at the crisis period.

In April 1971, the Trudeaus took a long “second honeymoon” all around the Caribbean. According to Wikipedia, they visited one island they declined to disclose. It is the only island they did not disclose. From Wikipedia:
April 13, 1971 article from The Ottawa Journal. The article states that the Trudeaus were visiting an unidentified island in the Caribbean and wanted the press to give them privacy:
To be clear: they disclosed all the other locations they visited but asked the press for privacy when they went to the “unidentified” island. Come on.
Justin Trudeau was born 8 1/2 months later.

Gavin Newsom: The State Will Tax the Enemies of the Democrat Party at a 100% Rate to Save Democracy
Seizing the estates of political enemies. Sounds very democracy-savey.
He says they will change California law to seize 100% of recompense paid to Californians from the weaponization fund for Biden Regime abuses. Well, I'll tell you, I've been sick of liberal state governments paying out jackpot awards to Antifa and BLM "protesters" who beat cops and get arrested in return. The Democrat Party is using taxpayer funds to pay its terrorist street militias to beat up cops and menace citizens. So it's time for the federal government to impose a 100% tax on payouts to "protesters," especially those of Antifa, BLM, the John Brown Rifle Club, etc. Tit for tat. If you want to go full Civil War -- We're your huckleberry. You'd be a daisy if you'd oblige us.BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.” pic.twitter.com/IIfPUQrbuc

The🐰FOOFrom Comrade Arthur. At least California will put the estates it seizes from political enemies of The Party to good and prudent use.
@PolitiBunny This feels like Democrats punishing citizens because they’re mad at Trump. How does something like this improve the lives of Californians?
California Teaches Native Americans How to Light a FireAs Luke Skywalker said: "NOOOO! That can't be! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"
The state has approved funding for "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns." California Governor Gavin Newsom has allocated millions of dollars to a program that funds Native American "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns," in which tribal groups use traditional fire techniques to clear brush from the landscape and preserve their "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives." Since 2023, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE, has awarded $24 million to tribal groups and other nonprofits as part of its "Tribal Wildfire Resilience" program. The man effectively overseeing the program, Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, believes that California was founded on a "state-sanctioned policy of genocide" and that the state has pursued "decades of land dispossession, discrimination, and disconnection." The Newsom administration, he said, was making progress in returning the land to the "leadership of California Native American tribes." As part of this commitment to "cultural burning," California has created separate fire-certification processes for nontribal and tribal populations. White, black, Latino, and Asian fire bosses must receive technical certifications, including a 40-hour burn-boss course and, in some cases, a federal certificate. "Cultural fire practitioners," by contrast, are certified through simple tribal recognition that a person has "substantial experience" burning for cultural purposes. The "cultural burns" themselves follow various rituals. Some begin with drumming, sage burning, and a prayer. Attendees sometimes go around in a circle, introducing themselves to the land. In the words of Ron Goode, chief of the North Fork Mono Tribe, the land listens to the incantations, and the intention is "to make sure that everything on the landscape--Mother Earth, Creator, everybody--understands why we're there and what we're there for." Then the burning begins. One tribal member uses a traditional elderberry fire stick instead of a modern lighter. Some use dry branches and cottonwood bundles as kindling. In the words of one tribal chief, "Fire gives life to the land, and everyone benefits from this living spirit." While some of the "resiliency" funding has gone toward what appear to be legitimate fire-management projects, a careful examination of the state grant information reveals that much of the program operates as a slush fund for the tribes.
In recent years, CalFire has awarded grants that have dubious fire-management benefits: $1 million for a grant that will help a tribe provide "forest-themed ingredients" to tribe-owned restaurants; $599,000 for another to help renovate land for use as a Native American summer camp; $166,000 to one that will pay for "[t]ribal staff and members" to observe spotted owl nests; $746,000 to one supporting a tribe's "food sovereignty" and "Fire-Centered Climate Action Plan"; and $521,000 to one that will help a tribe maintain "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives such as water and fire."Read the whole thing. Oh, and Gavin Newsom is also looting taxpayer money to build solar panels for welfare cases living in publicly-subsidized housing. Except they're building as many solar panels as miles of "high speed rail." While spending all the money they looted to build these Luxury Homeless Solar Panels, they've only built 10% of the already-overpriced units they perjured themselves in claiming they would build.
Inside Gavin Newsom's Solar Scam California advocates wanted to provide solar panels to 1 million low-income housing residents. After ten years, the state is more than 900,000 short of that goal.Maybe the federal government should slap a 100% tax on California's payouts to different voting blocs whose votes it's buying.
Governor Gavin Newsom has dismissed fossil fuels as "alternative energy," and wants to power California with, among other things, the sun. Through extensive mandates and extra energy costs for non-solar consumers, the Newsom administration has directed billions to building solar energy capacity. The centerpiece of this initiative is the Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program. SOMAH began under Governor Jerry Brown, who signed legislation requiring a state commission to apportion up to $100 million a year from California's cap-and-trade program to pay for the installation of solar panels on apartment buildings in poor areas. Since then, California has devoted nearly $900 million to SOMAH, which the state hoped would create 300 megawatts of power by 2030 and advocates envisioned would create a million solar-using renters. The results have been disastrous. Since 2015, the program has installed or reserved only 129 megawatts of solar power for approximately 65,600 residents--nowhere close to the target of 1 million "solar renters." What happened? First, incompetence. For a decade, businesses and utilities have been forced to buy emissions credits, and while the state has lavished nearly $900 million on SOMAH, administrators designed the program so poorly that they have paid out only $131 million for solar installation. As the program's largest contractor admitted in a draft audit, potential customers were turned off by the paperwork, bureaucracy, and red tape. "Initially, we found housing owners excited about the program," the contractor said, "but after a long and laborious process, they are much less enthusiastic." That is an understatement. From the beginning, the SOMAH program has been plagued by delays and cancellations. More than 400 applications have wound up cancelled or withdrawn, or about a third of the total. On average, projects take three and a half years to make it through the program's gauntlet of paperwork and inspections. ...
CEJA uses aggressive language to support its apparent goal of banning oil. "What's at stake is our very survival," its then-executive director said in 2021. "We must make the transition to 100 percent clean energy and bring all communities along to avoid a devastating climate apartheid."
... The other main beneficiary of the SOMAH program is a San Francisco-based corporation called Sunrun Inc., which bills itself as the country's largest solar provider and has been the contractor for 78 percent of all SOMAH projects. The company has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to political candidates--including $50,000 to Gavin Newsom's campaigns--and has employed an army of lobbyists in Sacramento. Newsom, in turn, has packed his administration with former Sunrun employees. The governor appointed the company's public policy manager to the California Energy Commission and appointed its former chief policy officer to a regional water quality control board. In recent years, Sunrun representatives have met with government regulators' offices to discuss SOMAH, including last December, when the company supported efforts to expand the program. SOMAH and Sunrun did not respond to requests for comment.

CALIFORNIA EARLY VOTING TURNOUT
(Data from @Political_Data
)
As of last night, volume ahead of 2022, and is noticeably more Republican. With one week left until the primary, the hypothesis of "Democrats holding onto their ballots until the very end" will be tested.
------
Democrats are running more than double digits behind where they were in 2022 in terms of returning ballots in 2026.
Newsom's jungle primary win almost exactly matches up with the percentage of ballots returned by Democrats a few weeks before the final day of the primary (54% vs. 55% actual).
Now...they're only at 42%.
Democrats don't seem very happy with California governance.

They're attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for "funding" terrorist groups like the KKK and Proud Boys, when In they were infiltrating them in order to expose them. Those groups are literally Trump's Base.
They should actually tax them more than 100%. They may have been pardoned for their crimes, but you can still make them pay. Make it 200% in taxes.

Usually, when a teacher gets this job, they will stay until they retire. You have to be positioned just right and have the luck of the gods to get it.

The other half are, "hello fellow conservatives. I am most conservative of conservative. My Bible never leaves my sight for Jesus is my light. My strongly conservative and Christian cannot allow me the choice and we good conservative Christians must not vote for Paxton or Talarico.

I buy that that is the proper analysis.
I just increasingly doubt whether the people who should care will care.
And it's a support for a case alleging prosecutorial abuse. It's not like it goes to the plaintiff. And the only result would be a decision that they were prosecuted wrong, or no, they were prosecuted correctly.
They just don't like the idea that trespassers on a lawn can't have a Scarlet A burned into them if they want that type of punishment for people who disagreed with them on politics, and have a possibility, through a legal redress to expunge the offense from their record.

Twitter is full of Talarico's awful biblical takes.
EG: Talarico says the Bible justifies abortion. How you ask? When Gabriel appeared to Mary, he "asked the Virgin Mary for her consent before she conceived Jesus." He doesn't flesh out the argument, but apparently aborting a baby is denying consent, and that's OK, because Mary was given the choice whether to consent or not.
Talarico also says God is non-binary, and if you disagree, take it up with Paul.

Perfect candidate for impeachment by Congress.
Her sins are completely unrelated to politics. It's obvious abuse of power and abuse of her office.
However, she's black and appointed by Biden, so it's still going to be perceived as political no matter what.
Still, I think this is an impeachment worth trying. Even if it fails, she's a nobody, one of a hundred like her at that level of the judiciary, and her increased prominence and "absolution" won't make a huge difference overall.

That's 88 galactic years, i.e. rotations about the galactic core. With one rotation equivalent to approximately a quarter billion earth years. So about 22 billion years. Since her last molting.

I know there are famous "buffalo jump" locations where they would drive the buffalo off of cliffs. I hadn't heard about starting fires to drive animals. I'm not saying it didn't happen.

That's the easiest way, even the mongol hunts with better tech and horses used torches and such to scare animals with fear of fire. Without much manpower and on foot, burns were the best trigger. Also burned plant matter is good fertilizer.
there's a lot of hooplah these days about the Dryas period extinctions in the new world and supposed meteors -- like always. In 100 years WWII damage will all be meteors.
There is signs of fire damage starting at this period, I suspect this is the time when the peeps started using fire on a wider scale for group hunts and spreading across the Americas.

Yale fully reinstates its pre-pandemic SAT/ACT requirement in admissions.
“These test scores are strong predictors of a student’s future Yale academic performance, and there is evidence that they are less subject to bias than other elements of an application.”

UCSD, which prides itself on being a scary, no-football-team STEM school, is doing the same thing. I think it made national news when it abolished the SAT and found itself admitting students who LITERALLY couldn't do middle-grade math. Now they've reversed that policy, or they're considering reversing it, not sure.
I consider it something like hypocrisy. The teachers who allowed this to happen knew damn well what the results would be.

Trump is doing some of this with the USAID cuts and the like, but this is what economic policy should be overall with where we are.
The goal is to take as much from Dems and give it to R leaning voter groups. Now, that honestly can be paying down the deficit since right leaning groups are more harmed by high inflation.

DOJ Now Investigating Obvious Perjurer For, Get This, Obvous Perjury
My first reaction to hearing about the DOJ investigating the perjurious elderly lunatic whore was negative. I didn't like the "optics" of the DOJ investigating Trump's enemies.
But then I remembered the context: The Democrats turned the entire prosecutorial network, state and federal, into a machine for prosecuting Trump and his allies and even the lawyers defending Trump and his allies from their prosecutions. Let me posit: It would be criminal to not use the prosecutorial resources of the country to prosecute Democrats and their lunatic fabulists. We have been told many times that "No one is above the law." And that includes Democrats, who are actually criminals. The only reason we weren't routinely arresting and jailing Democrats was the prudential consideration that jailing the political opposition, even when they were criminals in league with foreign powers and poisonous anti-American terrorist groups, was that prosecuting your political opponents, even when warranted, would kick off a cycle of each party attempting to jail each other each time the White House changed hands. But they already began this cycle. And they've already announced their criminal intention to prosecute everyone associated with Trump, and possibly just his voters and supporters, the moment they can steal another election. Given these facts, we have no choice but to adapt to the new poisonous reality the Democrats have created and use the machinery of political prosecutions against them. From David Strom, although she clearly lied about the entire sham story -- and ripped it off from an episode of Law & Order: SVU her mentally-demented mind remembered -- she's being specifically investigated for lying about being paid to bring charges against Trump.She straight-up lied about her expenses being paid by deranged communist billionaire Reid Hoffman, who desperately needs some prosecutorial resources devoted to him as well.
New York (of course) wrote an unconstitutional law just to “get Trump.” https://t.co/bW3JKgvnYy https://t.co/Ohz7WW5K7a
— Morning Glory 🇺🇸🌼🇺🇸 (@DoryBeutel) May 28, 2026
Prosecutors' theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carroll, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees and expenses.It's not a theory, it's a fact, and a crime. She lied about this precisely because admitting it would hurt the paid effort to get Trump. Motive and credibility are material facts in court, and she deliberately perjured herself to create a false air of credibility. Strom also links this video of the demented lunatic whore giggling and laughing about consulting with fashion makeover experts to make her look "fuckable" so the idea of Trump being overcome by lust for her -- even when she was already an old woman, and had been weird-looking and unattractive since birth -- would seem possible. "It was all a trick," she giggles about the attempt to make her look less like a shriveled mummy.

Crow Milestone: Though I had a crow visitor, it was just the one crow. I knew there were dozens of crows in the area and I've been wondering why they don't show up for the spread I put out for them every morning. Yesterday, I believed that a second crow had come. This one was noticeably smaller than my usual visitor so I guessed it was his mate. They seemed to be two different crows because while they didn't both appear at the same time, they kept coming to the deck and flying back to the roost too quickly, I thought, to be a single crow. It seemed that it had to be a tag-team effort. Today I got confirmation of that, as both crows, the bigger male and smaller female, both came at the same time. How are you? BTW I've said this before, but the crow caller doesn't really work. I'm exploring other options:

She’s not an accuser. The accusations were found to be true and he’s been adjudicated to have done the things she “accused” him of.
“Trump sexual assault survivor” would have been more descriptive AND accurate. As if we need more proof that American news media is embarrassingly toothless.
Damn. She has a judgment against Trump. Unpaid of course. Shameful weaponization of the Justice Department.
And the right still can’t figure out why they get called fascists.
They know. They only pretend they don't because they think it's funny. But the mask is definitely slipping.
The next dem president should get a 4.547B slush fund to payout victims of 'Lawfare' like E Jean Carroll, Jim Comey, that judge in NY, etc... lol
Why in the fuck would he want to resurrect this scandal? Right before the midterms? I can't even believe this is 2026.

Even after SCOTUS swatted them down in Bruen, they can back with the most egregious overreach they could design in their communist legislature. They’ve followed on with prosecuting people for speech they don’t like, citizens who speak up at PTA meetings, people who ignored their covid authoritarianism, and people who speak out against their abortion policies, which includes deliberate prosecution of Christians. They have extended this dictatorship into their jury pools of like minded mouth breathers who use it as a personal vendetta machine for their misguided politics, not equal justice under law.
So don’t take this the wrong way, but f them. What Trumps lawyers are doing here has a basis in actual law. It’s defensive, not offensive as has been liberals want. It’s a pushback and I don’t care who leads the charge. We need to monkey stomp these assholes.

No, she's like one of those fairy tale dragons that sits on a hoard of gold and jewels. Like, what's the point?

Now the left will claim that these such DOJ self-interested investigations and prosecutions destroy the very things - rule of law and a healthy respect for the rule of law - that they purport to uphold and defend.
But the left are lying, deluded, filthy hoors who will say anything for political power. Let's stop acting like they EVER have any good faith arguments.

Now, it's very different when the Left wants to prosecute the Right for process crimes. In those cases, it's super-easy. Barely an inconvenience.

The story itself is so ludicrous, and leftists know it, but they hate Trump so badly they force themselves to believe it was true.
Sure, one of the most well-known public figures in NYC walked into a ladies' dressing room 30 years ago, raped this hag and walked out...pretty as you please. And it didn't occur to her to call police, nobody else in the dressing rooms saw Trump coming into that area (we all know NYC stores are always deserted), or leaving while buckling his pants back up. It is so ludicrous, just calling it ludicrous is ludicrous.

To be a black lesbian muslim tranny trapped in a white guy's body in an area of the country where you can't be your true self is heart-breaking.
And having that disease where you're a child trapped in a 29 year old body, another gut punch.
As you fulfill your dreams, just don't mix up the Lindbergh and Earhart maps.

Trump claimed he never met her. They had a picture of Trump posing with Carroll. I believe this is one of the most influential facts in the case.
But it's stupid, because Trump is a celebrity. He poses with many thousands of people per year and has for decades. Nobody would be able to remember everyone they posed with given those circumstances.

However, Hoffman probably paid off the judge, because he seemed to want to start off at point A: Nobody called Carroll "crazy" until Trump did, therefore Trump defamed Carroll (which begged the actual case before the court).
She won a "defamation" case, not a rape case. Which NYC could not have pursued unless they were ready to go full retard.
Lord knows they are in the neighborhood, though. What with the "34 felonies" case, the "fraud" case, and the others where Trump was practically disallowed a defense.
But proving that the prosecution had reached "beyond a reasonable doubt" having a crazy lady half-recalling it, would probably be too obvious that they had complete disregard for standards of jurisprudence.
We're still close though. The cases against Zimmerman and Rittenhouse were practically "Prove yourself innocent".
Lib prosecution will go full retard at some point...

I hope his lawsuit drives her to suicide. Fuck her. I'm tired of leftists ruining innocent people's lives for money and power.

Yeah and "standing with someone in a picture" is not meeting them, its encountering them. I know that sounds like a narrow technicality, but if you don't even likely know their name how can you have really met someone? Did I "meet" that guy that I let go in front of me in line?

That word "some" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Because, they are defining "some" as "not all because there possibly could be somewhere, somehow, in the future, some fees or expenses or a lunch or a taxi fare that he might not, maybe not, possibly not pay."
Which is to say, at the time she made that statement--under oath--he had, and was, bankrolling ALL the expenses and ALL the fees.
But, before you get your hopes up that this will gain a retrial:
New York will hand-waive that away and say, "even if the jury had known that, they still would have found Trump guilty. Because we all know Trump was guilty--he said "pussy."

And of course the federal level is even more spectacular. Utterly ridiculous and outrageous abuse of the system to fabricate idiotic investigations and persecutions that would have been laughed off the stage - with career-ending consequences for the cretins pushing them - in an America even remotely resembling the one of a few years back.
And don't forget the Minneapolis lynchings of Chauvin and other cops, as outrageous and indefensible as the worst prosecutorial/jury behavior in the south during the civil rights struggles.
Muddling through with lots and lots of retribution is the best that can be hoped for, no prospect of a restoration of standards, so hopefully much more of this sort of thing to come.

Get ready for more California humor: AB 2669. With help from AI to explain it all:
Existing California law already says prosecutors should consider immigration consequences during plea bargaining.
AB 2669 would go further by requiring prosecutors to actively “meet and confer” with defense attorneys to try to avoid immigration consequences when negotiating pleas.
If a defendant proposes an alternative plea deal that:
- avoids deportation consequences,
- and is of “comparable or greater seriousness,”
and the prosecutor refuses it, the bill creates a presumption the PROSECUTOR violated the law. A judge could then hold a hearing and potentially impose a remedy against the prosecution.

I believe what happened is the cops' brains are so marinated in the woke religion, that the claim by Digwa put Nowak in the "bad man" category in their heads. Apparently Nowak had been drinking too.
When Nowak said he'd been stabbed, their woke brains said, "The bad man is trying to engender sympathy. Don't listen to the bad man. He smells like alcohol, he's drunk."
It's possible the blood from Nowak's wounds wasn't visible on a dark pavement or a poorly lit area. But why wouldn't you investigate to see if he's stabbed? Because, "Bad man doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt."
If you talk with enough leftists, you'll see this isn't a caricature. If their religion puts you in the "bad man" category, they will openly wish death on you with a smile on their face and no regret in their eyes.

- she never stated the date; it was, vaguely, "around that year."
- the photo, as noted above, was allowed as proof Trump knew her--not met her once, knew her well.
- the "pussy" tape was allowed as evidence--as proof Trump had a habit or practice of sexually assaulting women, had done so in the past and admitted to it; to get around the clear, explicit Rule of Evidence that mandated it be excluded.
- and that's just some of the BS.
As others have noted, the judge prevented Trump from putting on any defense.

The "pussy tape" only shows that Trump kissed women not totally invited.
The actual condition introduced is "When you are a star women let you ... grab them by the pussy, (anything)."
Trump is not the only "star" he could be thinking of. He is amplifying the case of his initiating kisses on women in light of what "women let [stars]" get away with.

Sacramento has already passed the law that says prosecutors should consider immigration consequences during plea bargaining. IOW, it gives illegal aliens protections that citizens don't have. It's law.
Do you think Governor Becerra would veto the Stop Nick Shirley Act (passed with 57 in favor, 19 against, and 4 not voting / absent)?

The question was whether the act was passed as it being CA law. It was not. Whether it will eventually pass is another question, but not the one what was asked.

We can debate the morality and efficacy of divine retribution in this world vs the next etc, I have no problem with that conversation. The problem I have is with that small subset of gullible believers who bring their beliefs into the criminal justice system, allowing criminal miscreants off the hook for crimes in this world if they wave around a Bible and proclaim that they are saved.
Looking at you, Mike Huckabee. Stupid fucker commuted the sentence of a convicted rapist who went on to rape again, and then executed four cops in a coffee shop, apparently because the asshole claimed a religious conversion and Huck never considered that a criminal might lie about turning to religion in order to scam a release from prison. Most religious folk aren't that stupid, but the few that are can do a lot of damage.

He didn't commute Dumond sentence. Dumond was subsequently paroled after the previous governor reduced his sentence.
And the commutation of the other guy required he be on parole. He violated his parole but the DA refused to send him back to prison. Buckner can be faulted for that one but I just wanted to provide more context.

The Morning Rant
DuckDuckGo, which positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative to Google, has experienced a significant increase in user adoption following the search giant’s announcement of major changes to its search platform that heavily incorporate AI. TechCrunch reports that DuckDuckGo claims that U.S. app installs increased by an average of 18.1 percent week-over-week during the period from May 20 to May 25, compared to the previous week of May 13 to May 18. The growth was sustained for six consecutive days and reached a peak of 30.5 percent on May 25. On iOS devices specifically, the rate of installation was even more dramatic, with week-over-week growth averaging 33 percent and peaking at 69.9 percent. The surge in interest comes in direct response to Google’s announcement at its annual I/O developer conference that AI would take over its search engine, as previously reported by Breitbart News:
This isn't an endorsement of DuckDuckGo. But it's a great example of what many people are doing in every facet of our technological lives. And it reminds me of the EV craze! Auto companies built EVs at a frantic pace, carefully ignoring the reality that their customers simply didn't want them. As Buck Throckmorton has ably demonstrated on these pages over the last few years, the EV insanity has come crashing to earth, because of the immutable laws of economics. My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!), but it will be nothing more than an occasionally useful tool for most people. Will it take over the world? Probably not. The last time I checked, AI couldn't repair an air conditioner or fix the plumbing or frame a house. It can make fun videos though!

It is, but I can see some good uses for it.
1) One of the hardest things in QA is that inspectors get velocitated. They have to check say a 1000 parts and find the ONE that is not right or like the others. It is hard to keep people in that mindset for a long period of time. This is something 'AI' could do.
2) I also wonder about porn. If AI generation crashes the porn market... isn't that a good thing? I dunno. It is a weird thought I have been thinking about.

The AI has trillions of words, trillions of sentences, and trillions of phrases stored. You type a series of words into an AI, and it determines what series of words matches your series of words as a response.

Yeah, those are a subset of the significant fraction of the population which has already checked out of the whole thinking thing. There are two groups there: 1) those who imagine that reading a self-amplifying website makes them informed; and 2) those who just don't care about being informed at all. Both groups are heavily represented on the left, but we have them on the right as well.

It's EVERYWHERE in higher education. Every conference you go to is saturated with AI and there are webinars every week about how AI is affecting the educational landscape.
I'm not sure what the end result is going to be, but I could see AI being an effective personal tutor in the basic K-12 education landscape because it can customize itself to the pace of the learner's needs.
Once you get into the far more technical landscape of STEM fields, the usage of AI changes dramatically. Still highly useful but also far more specialized in most fields.

Example: I like doing math longform on paper. For me I can tell when I have made a mistake and also know when I haven't. There is a 'feel' there that is not there when you just plug it into a calculator.
We used mass percent equations to make batch adjustments for food (things like salt and acidity) at a job several years ago. If you did it right (tm), you could adjust a batch of 7000 lbs to the exact right composition. A lot of my fellow coworkers just could not grok the math and usually were afraid of their answers no matter what. One night, while setting up a lab in california, I was waiting on things, so I thought 'I bet I could make an excel spreadsheet to do the calculation for you. Just plug the values into a labeled cell and it would churn out the answer.'
So I did it. Then as soon as my boss saw it his eyes lit up and I immediately regretted it. I pointed out to him that I would never use it. I liked doing it by hand because I could tell when my math was shit. He said of course, then immediately gave the calculator to everyone.

I ran into a classic example of that - I asked an AI about a senior executive at a large local organization (who I knew was from a baseball family), and the AI correctly identified the executive's role, and then went on to explain that he had also played baseball for the Chicago Cubs in 1969. (I think that was his father.)
Now, anyone with actual intelligence would figure out that someone who is a senior executive today wasn't playing ball for the Cubs fifty-seven years ago, but no matter - the AI found a word pattern showing that someone with the same name had played for the Cubs, and went with it.
That's why AI can make such spectacular mistakes - logical reasoning isn't involved.

Cloudfare detects as bot behavior basic human search use. You search for something and the answers are crap so you tweak your search text and resubmit. Iteratively based on the output until you get something helpful.
Well cloudfare obviously detects this as bot behavior. You do those iterations at a certain frequency and within 4-5 searches it will flag you. Multiple times a day on the same IP. I could use my vpn to get around it actually but that's too much trouble. And I'm so tired of it.

Not much in management, either. One of the reasons they push for AI adoption. Plus an accountability dodge, plus the idea of a virtual workforce that's compliant and you don't have to share payroll budget with...of course it's none of these things ultimately if you understand what's really being put out there, but 2026's PMC is so degenerate and incompetent they're essentially the equivalent of some shmuck with a dubious tome conducting dark rituals in the basement to give them the things they have no hope of earning for themselves.
And it will turn out about as well for them. And unfortunately for everyone else if some guardrails aren't put up in a damned hurry.

Might be a bit of a flawed analogy, maybe not, but Math itself is today apparently often viewed as an Arcane Knowledge of Secret Societies in America and widely denounced with suspicion, as a tool of “White Supremacy” etc etc. by the low frequency Club 85 sorts and the usual pseudo-intellectual suspects. I propose there is no longer any intention whatsoever to educate huge swaths of the populace, in fact they’d rather not.
A quick look around at whom is running “Education” these days indicates it’s a moot point. They are largely incapable, it has achieved overall a kind of negative feedback loop.

I often produce exact change but not exact bills, to minimize the amount of change I carry around. (And if I can turn change into a dollar bill, that’s like free money!) I generally only do this if the point-of-sale is using a computer to calculate change.
I don’t blame cashiers for not knowing how to do math. As C.S. Lewis said, you can’t expect kids to know what they haven’t been taught. But I’ve started noticing that more and more cashiers don’t even know how to enter change into the computer.
That level of innumeracy has to be a major handicap.

I've been checking out houses on Zillow lately to get a feel for the market. Damned near every listing has AI-enhanced photography to mask the normal flaws, wear/tear. Maybe 10% will be honest and note in the listing or in watermarks that the photos are "virtually presented" or some variation on the phrase.
At best, it's dishonest. But a surprising number of them are downright fraudulent. Outdoor photos that show a house with laser-straight roofs, but when you go to the house and look at it from the same exact angle and location, the roofline droops like Nancy Pelosi's desiccated milkbags.

Definitely both of those are in serious jeopardy.
With even a modicum of knowledge, work with an AI to build out entire front-ends, middle ware and back-ends.
I've created my own financial analysis and reserch apps not to mention my own ERP utilizing AI.
And the thing that strikes me about the state of software dev is that is the using AI you should be able to build out better looking apps with greater functionality, but that does not seem to be happening.
For instance, I use PGAdmin to work with and create SQL schema, I never really liked it.
So, in less than a week I built out what I think is a better app to work with sql databases.
The future is largely uncertain, but what is certain is that AI is going to become and increasingly integrated and indispensable part of that future.

The fact we are allowing profits for AI slop is insane. I feel so very bad for all the artists out there. I’m very disappointed that this is the ISF’s choice instead of highlighting some amazing Iowan creators.
"I feel so very bad for all the artists out there." My other half is a graphic designer that got laid off in 2024. She still has not been able to find full-time graphic design work in the Des Moines metro since. It's looking kind of bleak, tbh.
A soulless, low effort cash grab. Honestly, kind of seems fitting for “America’s Birthday." The shitty patrioteers will wear anything.
Products that had low-effort designs before AI were the quickest to switch to using AI designs. Think cheap stuff like kitschy home decor, novelty shirts, and souvenirs. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't have an eye for spotting the stuff and some people just don't care.
I, of course, hate AI with a passion.

That kind of a question is not always pointless. Remember that these are computers and not humans, so that this is an example not of a pointless question but of a question for which there either (a) is no answer that has been incorporated by the AI, or (b) the answer requires a chain of logic that the AI is not suited for.
For example, on September 5 last year, I did a search on “next new moon”. Google’s AI response told me that “The next new moon is on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 2:06 a.m. ET.”
It’s an illustration that these forms of AI do not understand in any human sense.
When I wrote my July 4 food post for this year, I couldn’t find out who “Annette” was. I still don’t know. Google’s AI front-loaded the search results with a very convincing chain of fiction based on a reference to a boy named “Asnet” who died, as far as I can tell, in infancy.
The AI engines in use today don’t really have a concept of “no answer”. They don’t have any understanding of paucity of information in a way that humans

I'm not asking AI what it's mood is, I'm asking to show me the top 20 ETFs over the last 5 years and model 50k invested, show me monthly and yearly income, provide a rotation schedule to more stable ETF's/Blue chips.
That's what I'm using AI for.

But not what you are thinking. They constantly come over and nag you to get married and have kids,
"Honey have you met some one yet? You know, you're not getting any younger. I was talking with Mable yesterday and there's this really nice..."
And they get increasingly aggressive. At some stage they start hunting you down like the terminator with lasers and rpgs till you find someone nice and settle down. Everybody is assigned one until they start a family.

For all other general applications, it depends; never all good or all bad. Its been used in manufacturing for years. It is - or can be - spectacular in some medicine, math, engineering, space travel, etc.
It's an essential to have competency for control of its various applications.

That is too convoluted. To think like a sociopath, just ask yourself: WWBVD? What would Batman villains do?
You're on the right track: to end homelessness, Batman villains would end the homeless. But you don't need to outsource; they're already druggies. Just rebrand the MAiD cocktail as Ultima, and tell them that everyone who survived it said it was the most incredible trip/high of their lives. Get them to sign a waiver, bingo bongo, and your streets are clean and safe!

Might be a bit of a flawed analogy, maybe not, but Math itself is today apparently often viewed as an Arcane Knowledge of Secret Societies in America and widely denounced with suspicion, as a tool of “White Supremacy” etc etc. by the low frequency Club 85 sorts and the usual pseudo-intellectual suspects. I propose there is no longer any intention whatsoever to educate huge swaths of the populace, in fact they’d rather not.
A quick look around at whom is running “Education” these days indicates it’s a moot point. They are largely incapable, it has achieved overall a kind of negative feedback loop.

He absolutely will decide he needs more reports.
This is what happened to Architecture with the advent of computer aided drafting.
When you did the construction documents by hand and the tiniest of changes requires redrawing the entire sheet, you could build an entire multi-storey oddly-shaped school with just three or four sheets.
Now you have to have an inch thick book of ArchD sized plans to build an outhouse.
Because it's easy to make all those extra sheets.
... and also probably because if the illegal construction labor you've hired doesn't have explicit drawn instructions, they'll just slap-dash together whatever vaguely conforms to the appearance of whatever documents you do give them.

Yea. The upcharge is so much to go to first class than I'll be thinking the entire time "I could have taken another vacation just for the cost of this upgrade."
On the recent Hawaii flight, the cost to upgrade to the fold-flat seats in first was $2k ... each way. Just upgrading to the bigger "normal" seats in business was $750 each way. Pass.
I usually manage to talk my way into a free upgrade into the "comfort" section of coach, though.

Prompting skill varies widely, too. Skyebrows does some really amazing stuff (he just posted a reel of footage of the X-Men in the style of the non-woke 90s cartoon that looked amazing), but it also helps that he's a film editor by trade so he doesn't just use the AI output as-is.

>> My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!),
I predict it will become a substitute for thought for a significant fraction of the population. OTOH, a significant fraction of the population has already checked out of the whole thinking thing. The question is will it add more ppeople to the thoughtless pool, or are the two groups the same?
Posted by: Archimedes at May 28, 2026 11:03 AM (Riz8t)
I believe that I have already seen it add to the pool, someone who was an independent thinker due to his innate skepticism of authority. It turned out that was derived from narcissistic tendencies, where he just didn't think they were as smart as him, but that made him susceptible to the Pocket Demon of AI flattering him and confirming his priors.
Now he appears more like a grandiose schizophrenic than a heterodox dissenter; not an NPC programmed by the Narrative, but not a 'thinker' per se either, with self-skepticism removed by the illusion of an external check. It's unnerving.

The telegraph destroyed the ability of small regional banks to participate in "free banking" since the under-capitalized banks relied on issuing more debt than assets held either in specie or in assets, and relied on the delay between issuing and clearing of payments to maintain liquidity.
The development of the Federal Reserve system was a resolution of instant communication, in that the debts were cleared through member banks and the small regional banks were reduced to only going bankrupt over making risky loans.
AI is going to make a similar problem with stocks and securities, because it can read and react to market moves in microseconds, and do some limited prediction. This is going to cause havoc with a system that was built on calling your broker to buy or sell when he gets to it. Probably be a two-tiered system where the AIs work at the "perfect price" and the humans buy from the AI at the "preferred price" or something

Definitely both of those are in serious jeopardy.
No. Not hardly. As far as software development goes, someone has to explain to the computer what the job is. It's usually easier to explain it in Python or C++ than English, but you do you.
I imagine there is something similar to be said for Financial Analyst.
With even a modicum of knowledge, work with an AI to build out entire front-ends, middle ware and back-ends.
Which is why I refer to you as "Mr. Remote Exploit". Eventually, you'll find out why that's important.

Observe the sheer size of this magnificent creature — easily the heavyweight champion of its local waters. With its cavernous mouth and powerful flank, this is no ordinary fish, but a leviathan of the freshwater realm.
For this fortunate fisherman, this is the moment every angler dreams of — that rare, almost mythical encounter between man and fish, frozen forever in oil and reverence.
Truly, a masterpiece of both angling glory and the painter’s art.

Why are they discussing this now?
Is it to garner sympathy for the family, who is now likely going broke? Is it to set up an excuse for his autopen presidency?
I'm more interested in the motive for discussing this now.
We already knew they were ghouls pushing their mentally incompetent, aging husband/father into a job he as incapable of fulfilling to keep the money flowing (and Hunter out of jail).

Well done, as the angler preens with his thumb in vest. Is he ready to skin and debone?
Too dark for background because it would be more fun with scales to record the prize size.

The technique is excellent. Hawthorne uses a realistic style with enough painterly touches to emphasize the moment. The skin tones are perfect for the man's age and time outdoors. (Looks like Norman Rockwell could have painted it.) The man's black clothing is plain and sharp but his bright white shirt, in contrast, shows every crease and fold even to the shadows created by the fabric. The background is dark, drab and doesn't distract from the man or fish. If that is a bass (my first thought), it's a whopper and he should be proud. It is accurately portrayed. A moment the man would want to preserve.
A thoroughly enjoyable portrait.

It's seems their standard-of-care recommends euthanasia as the first line of treatment for every chronic illness at this point.
And there is no "death panel," either. The doctors just shove a paper in your face and tell you do yourself and your family a favor.

=================================
My theory is they are preparing for the next election, and intend to claim Trump staffers drugged Biden prior to the debate ("I've never seen him like that, before or since", Jill claimed), and therefore Trump is an illegitimate President, a criminal who made Biden look comatose on national TV, losing him his nomination and Democrats the election.
Because of Trump's crimes, everyone who worked for him (like Rubio or Vance) is tarred by the brush too, and voters cannot trust Republicans because they will do anything (!) to gain power, even drug opponents.

I strongly suspect there is an incentive program. Probably tied to reducing costs per patient or something - not directly to MAID, but everyone gets a bonus if they hit the budget number and the only way to do that is to kill off a lot of patients.
but no one has reported it yet. Has to be an incentive though. That or they are all sociopaths, which is possible.

Charles Webster Hawthorne, "The Fish and the Man," 1925, Dallas Museum of Art.
The dignity Hawthorne gives the man is reflected fully and equally in the fish. Both are a bit past the prime of life, vigorous yet a little battered; the rich colors in the man's skin and hands can also be found in the fish. Both have gotten this far doing what they have to do, one being near the top of the food chain, the other at its apex. The man has no satisfaction from catching this fish, no haughtiness, only respect for his adversary. It is arresting in person, the more so the longer you look at it.
Artnet: Charles Webster Hawthorne was an American artist known for his lushly painted portraits and landscapes. Some of his most admired works are depictions of the seaside around Provincetown, MA. “It is so hard and long before a student comes to a realization that these [first] few large simple spots in right relations are the most important things in the study of painting,” he once explained. “They are the fundamentals of all painting.”
It's a well done painting but I likely wouldn't opt to hang it.
However, I'd like to see more works from this artist.
Thanks.

The Morning Report — 5/ 28/26
Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.” New York City Council member Vickie Paladino, one of Mamdani’s most vociferous and insightful critics, explains: “The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran’s DSA-connected nonprofits with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets — New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.” ...Mamdani, however, appears to be both a convinced Marxist and a devout Muslim. There is no real contradiction here; certainly Karl Marx himself made atheism a cornerstone of his secular religion, but Communism has always found a ready partner in Islam. This is because they have a deep kinship: both are authoritarian, totalitarian systems that impose draconian punishments for dissidents. Both deny the freedom of speech and other indispensable elements of a free society. Also, once his Marxist comrades control New York City’s housing market, who will get the housing? Not political undesirables, i.e., patriots. Instead, Muslim migrants, including an unknowable number of criminals and jihadis, and others who will help the leftist/Islamic alliance stay in power, will receive preferment.
Sadly I still have a number of friends, and two who are so insufferably liberal that I consider them now merely acquaintances. They live in a very expensive upper west side Co-op and I hate to wish it upon them but I do hope they get what they vote for good and hard. Maybe then they'll wake up, but considering they voted for Dinkins and DeBolshevik while denigrating anything and everything even slightly to the right of even Ed Koch, well so be it. And now I'm picturing the scene from Dr. Zhivago where the Bolshvik apparatchiks are confiscating the wealthy Ralph Richardson's home and moving scores of bedraggled poor people in, "In the name of the people." of course he protests that "He is one of the people," and is quickly silenced by Omar Sharif before Tom Courtenay can drag the old fool out and shoot him as a counter-revolutionary. All that said, it likely won't be long before one or all of President Trump's properties will be condemned, and then seized and handed over to Mamdani's commie cronies in the name of social justice, I assume at or not long after 12:01:00 on 1/21/29, if Mamdani is still mayor or one of his cronies succeeds him. On a not unrelated note, just north of the border in Canada, also well on the way to Islamo/Communist control, we had this disturbing story... "Canadian Man Allegedly Put To Death After Fast Food Parking Lot Bowel Assessment"
Yes, you read that right gentle reader...
A doctor in Ontario, Canada, allegedly evaluated a man for assisted death outside a Tim Hortons and, months later, drove him to the building where he died. The patient was 45-year-old Thomas Dillon, who lived with Crohn’s disease along with mental illness and addiction, according to the National Post, citing The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper that first reported the case and identified Dillon as the subject of one complaint. A coroner’s review of an anonymized 2024 case the reporting connects to Dillon described a man who battled addiction, struggled to keep a job, found relationships difficult and leaned on family for housing and money. Dr. James MacLean and a second clinician allegedly approved Dillon for assisted death under Track 2, a category for people whose deaths are not near but who endure intolerable suffering from a serious, untreatable condition. (RELATED: Canada Reportedly Set To Surpass 100,000 Assisted Suicides) MacLean allegedly ran the eligibility check outside the coffee shop on June 27, 2023, and traded dozens of texts with Dillon as they planned the death, according to The Globe and Mail. On Jan. 29, 2024, the two met again at the restaurant, and MacLean drove him to an industrial site where the dead are prepared for funeral homes. Dillon’s family told the outlet his wish to die came from mental illness, not the bowel disease. In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail. A reviewer determined MacLean fell short of professional standards in five of 20 files examined, the National Post reported. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) issued a verbal caution and ordered six months of clinical supervision, chart audits and remedial training. He keeps his license and can still perform assisted deaths.
It won't be long before Crohn's disease is joined by Islamophobia and "hate speech" as a justification for doctors to euthanize people the state deems as a threat to themselves and to THE PEOPLE So, the party of "Looters and Shooters" as Ace labeled them. Well, there's looting and shooting and then there's the double dose of nightmare fuel highlighted above. Have a good day.

The feds conducted a raid at the residence of David Rush last week, uncovering a staggering 303 gold bars, $2 million in cash and nearly three dozen luxury Rolex watches, according to court documents. Rush, until recently a “senior executive service-level employee” at the CIA, reportedly requested the massive haul of gold and foreign currency for “work-related expenses” between November and March.

Even the bad old times of the 70s and 80s were Halcyon days compared to today with what has happened and what is yet to happen thanks to what my former neighbors and sadly even some old friends have done by voting for their own destruction
The New Yorkers of today are not the New Yorkers of those years. I think some 40% are foreign born. And those foreign born are not the foreign born of a century ago. They have no interest in assimilating. To them America is a fat, juicy host waiting to have its blood sucked out of it and pathogens to be introduced.

Cornyn's 99.2% includes:
- Securing the border?
- Introducing a bill which hasn't even passed the Senate?
- Opposed sanctuary city policies (without, of course, actually getting laws passed to do anything about them)?
- But, most importantly, just stating that the number is 99.2%

9m is a ludicrously small amount in fines for a trillion dollar company. I'm glad Mr. Mayor is collecting the fees for the city (which will surely be used for good), but I just feel the fines should be much more.
Meh - $9mil here, $9mil there. Doesn’t take much before it’s more cost effective for Amazon to just change its policies.
And lets not forget that Amazon could easily afford to switch to electric vehicles that don't idle in a second.

In addition to being one of the most heavily named men in the Epstein files, Hoffman has been a prolific funder of Democrat candidates and causes. I doubt he ever gave directly to Massie but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of his money made it to Massie through other means. I hope someone like Data Republican does a deep dive on it.
Something drove Massie to go all in on smearing Trump with the Epstein files and it isn't his deep concern for the victims.

And sadly, it is being used by people who can't get what they need from the socialized health care system or government services. Wait for months or even years to see a specialist? Might as well just end it. Don't want to be a burden on the family? Just end it. And millions of Canadians can't get a primary care physician for routine care and referrals to said specialists, so they are pretty much dependent on long waits at urgent cares and ERs, or don't go until it's dire.

Yet power-hungry DOCTOR Jill, who was in the debate hall, didn't care enough about FJB to 'throw in the towel?' To demand a debate pause to have Joe get a medical check. Yeah, suuuuure. What the hell does she think she accomplishes by telling this tall tale, now? Did she say that after the debate she demanded a doctor check Joe for signs of having had a stroke? No. The Biden family are fabulist trash, top to bottom.

My brother used to say Steiger was an over-actor like William Shatner is supposed to be. Yes, both *can* go over the top. But they are focused and intense. When they are on screen you can't look away.
Steiger was no doubt a stage actor before moving into films, as Bill was.

A Fairbanks man was having a shower on a -60 F day, and decided to crank one out while he's in there.
Just then a delivery driver rings his doorbell and leaves the expensive package he's been waiting for. He can't leave it out there... too many porch pirates in the neighborhood.
He jumps out of the shower and peeks out the window. No one in sight. Good.
He steps out on the porch and instantly freezes solid, boner and all.
After a while, three old ladies come walking down the street and see the spectacle.
The first one had a stroke.
The second one had a stroke.
The third one said "I'm not touching that thing."

2) Make the people voting for it personally pay for it. Illegals, the mentally ill, etc should be housed in upper class blue voting neighborhoods. Use eminent domain and demonize anyone that ohjects.

Assigning property over how well one contributes to the project of the government is fascism.
How often do the people who protest "But, but fascism allowed people to keep property!" as a distinctive fail to see that that is their distinctive.
Meanwhile, for fascism, it's not that distinctive, as 90%+ of governments have allowed people to keep property. But for "socialists", that's the fascist cooperation model.

Seems relevant that they are WOMEN billionaires who are supporting omen politicians. Further, none of them earned that money:
Patty Quillin, the wife of Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, whose net worth is about $5 billion, Elizabeth Simons, daughter of late hedge fund titan Jim Simons, whose fortune peaked at roughly $30 billion; Kaitlyn Krieger, a Democratic donor married into a tech fortune worth hundreds of millions; and Quinn Delaney, an heiress to the $8 billion-plus Clif Bar empire.

Wages/Salaries: Often modest, as many founders take nominal salaries (e.g., $1) and receive their compensation in equity.
Dividends & Interest: Payouts from stocks they own.
Realized Capital Gains: Profits made only when they actually sell an asset for more than they paid for it.

There many ways you can tax the uber-rich, but the uber-rich ensure the politicians don't enact those proposals.

Top Story
- Nvidia is planning to spend $150 billion a year in Taiwan. (Reuters)
That used to be a lot.

What they have not found is anything resembling a path towards profitability.

- You wouldn't download a computer, would you? (Miniscript)
The MiniMicro is a virtual retrocomputer programmed in a rather simple and elegant language called Miniscript. And the whole thing runs run in your browser.
- Another day, another CPanel plugin vulnerability. (Bleeping Computer)
Not CPanel itself this time; only the LiteSpeed web server plugin, which I don't run.
- GitHub Actions not only went down, the outage left it telling users their accounts were suspended. (The Register)
Neat. Let's put all the worlds code there.
- Beelink has launched three mini-PCs with Intel's Wildcat Lake low-end CPU. (Liliputing)
Indeed they've used the lowest of the low, the Core 3 304, which has one performance core and four efficiency cores, rather like Apple's MacBook Neo. But performance is passable if you're not trying to do anything demanding of the processor or the graphics - the 304 has half the graphics performance of all the other models in the family.
All three models include 10Gb Ethernet, which is an interesting improvement.
- How to make the most of Claude Code before they jack up the prices or go spectacularly bankrupt. (GitHub)

I agree with you, but how would you frame the use of the term to someone who isn't conservative? I think he was perhaps trying to frame the term for people in the middle of the spectrum politically.

I'd expand a bit on what I said above:
"Listen, the term is utter nonsense and is based on an irrational fear and a lot of strawman arguments. Being proud of this nation and being Christian is a good thing and people like that author hate it and want us to be non persons."

Some things that are exciting. Job 1: Get a mortgage. That's always entertaining when you're out of state. Job 2: get a closing date. Job 3: try to get Job 2 timed so you can get keys to the house without having to rent a storage area for your stuff.
After that, everything is a grind.
Home Depot is your friend when it comes to moving boxes. My all-time favorite is the medium box. Buy a tape gun and don't buy cheap tape. Start packing yesterday.
Give notice on your apartment, shut down all your utilities, do the change of address notice with the US mail, pay off your drug dealer, get your stuff into a moving van, get to Indiana, sign 1 million papers and write a bunch of checks, get the keys, move your stuff in, and scream out loud "I escaped!"
Plus you might want to set up the utilities before you get there. I highly suggest you let your bank know in advance that you're moving to Indiana and that the flurry of charges you're making there are not fraudulent otherwise they will very likely shut your credit card down at the worst possible moment.

Yep, I've done that multiple time. Getting boxes today is not like it used to be. The Home Depot boxes are reasonably affordable and the nice thing about them is they are of uniform sizes. This last detail is not to be underestimated if you're using a U-Haul to move.

But now I know why the couple was wanting to sell their franchise. TDS. Crystal's husband is an 'independent publisher,' called Not A Pipe, and was wanting to leave the country for fear of Trump.
They have a video up on YouTube and on the wall behind them besides a map of Spain is a poster reading "This Machine Kills Fascists."

I don't want to load a moving van myself or drive a rental truck for two days with the cats and towing my car. My plan is to hire a mover -- I have only two rooms of furniture and "stuff" -- put essentials like bathroom and kitchen things and clothes, plus the cats, into the car, and drive up to stay at a hotel for a day or two. Then I can camp out in the house while waiting for the furniture to arrive. $$$, yes, but I don't think I have any other choice. U-Haul won't load a trailer for me and wants a ridiculous price to put a trailer hitch on the car.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 28, 2026 06:43 AM (wzUl9)
A hard part is getting it into your head that all this has to be done on a certain date, no exceptions, and if you get it wrong you're screwed. You can't make enough lists and be sure to put them in due date order so you know precisely when things have to be done and in what order. It's a royal pain in the ass.

Once I've closed on the house and have the keys, and have the utilities changed to my name, I figure I have a little more leeway about giving the apartment people their FU notice, scheduling the actual physical move, etc. I'd like to be into the house and settled by the end of August.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at May 28, 2026 06:51 AM (D1E+2)
For these long distance move, that's a good idea. You are probably going to be shocked at how expensive that's going to be but it's a one-time cost and if you can swing it just shut up and pay it. That's what I did when I left Seattle for New Mexico. Also, if you live in a highly urban area like I did, I had to get a permit from the city so I could have a moving pan block the main road to the freeways (The stuff you will discover that you need to do are endless).
Also, everything in the apartment that has to be packed and ready to go when the movers show up. There are exactly zero exceptions to this rule. Hence, My suggestion that you start packing yesterday and use Home Depot boxes. Uniform boxes stack nicely in the apartment while you're waiting fto move.
A slick move is to have the moving company show up a bit after you close on the house. This means you need to pick very carefully where you're going to throw in the car when you move so you have a place to sit, and cook a bit of food. If the budget allows it, you might want to consider getting rid of your mattress and box spring and buy new ones in Indiana. That way you have a place to sleep.

Yeah, closing on the house before you actually move simplifies the timing tap dances you have to go through. I didn't have that luxury. You still have all the challenges though of hitting a specific date when everything has to be done. Totally worth the effort

Wednesday Night ONT - May 27, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted and are eligible for comment of the week consideration. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you see better at night? Will you be wealthier? Will you win at Connect Four? If you skip the content, you'll never know![Top photo: All hail the Fotomat. Drop your rolls of film off and pick up your photos a few days later. Magic!]
Police in Louisiana were called to help round up a mystery emu spotted wandering the city streets. The Duson Police Department said on social media that officers responded Wednesday to help the Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center wrangle a loose emu. "Anyone missing an Emu? ID# 118962 found around the 300 block of B Robin in Duson," the shelter wrote on Facebook. "We don't know the sex. It's not housebroken. Someone please call us 337-291-5644 or come by to reclaim -- because our team and the dogs are very confused."
China's Tiangong Space Station is currently occupied by a group of artificial embryos, marking a major step in the quest to understand the ins and outs of reproduction in space. And while none of the embryo-like structures will ever develop into an actual person, the experiment should at least provide us with new insights into the impact of microgravity on early human development.
Previous research has shown that human, pig, and mouse sperm become disoriented in microgravity and are therefore less likely to be able to navigate the reproductive tract. A separate study found that jellyfish who spend their youth - or polyp stage - in space tend to experience vertigo when brought back to Earth, struggling to swim in a coherent manner. On the other hand, mouse sperm that was sent to the ISS has been successfully used to rear healthy pups on Earth, suggesting that exposure to cosmic radiation may not cause harmful levels of DNA damage. Mouse embryos were also seen to develop normally onboard the ISS for a period of four days, eventually becoming blastocysts - collections of cells that later develop into the fetus and placenta.I expect much related frivolity and observational humor in the comments. Do not disappoint me.
The ONT Fotomat staff will see all photos from rolls of film you drop off for development. Please keep this in mind when you ask the ONT Fotomat to develop your personal photos. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ??

The amorous grizzly scene near Yellowstone Lake caused a bear jam for at least a quarter mile in each direction for days this past week.

Establishing permanent human colonies off Earth means gravity different from 1g, and reproducing in it. That is likely going to be a big problem. You can assume there's some tolerance there. We just don't how big that tolerance is.
Ever biological process here has 1g has constant background given. And the evidence is that things just start going awry in something different from than 1g.
The Moon is about 1/6g. Mars is about 0.38g, call it 1/3.

Mexican Mulligan
1 cup of brown rice (before cooking). I use brown rice because I have teh Diabeetus. White okay if you don't.
Good slug of soy sauce (hey, this is a scientific recipe)
Good slug of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of frozen pepper strips
1.5 pounds hamburger, drained
1 packet Williams chili seasoning (you can use another brand if you wish, and I will explain why you are wrong...heh)
1 can red beans
1 can diced tomatoes
Cook rice. When it's just about done, add the soy sauce, chili seasoning, and Wash-Your-Sister sauce. Stir well.
Cook hamburger separately, OR used canned cooked ground beef (with fat removed) OR canned corned beef. In this case I had a can of cooked ground beef in the emergency stockpile that needed to be used up.
Add meat, beans, and tomatoes.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes at least.
I used some torn-up pieces of whole wheat bread from the last batch I made in lieu of crackers.
Pretty tasty. Way more than one person can eat at a sitting. The rest will go into freezer containers.

whig quoted Bruen thusly: "When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation."
Herein lies, perhaps, what I think is the quintessential perversion and usurpation by the courts. That last sentence. If the "Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation" violates the 2A, it's OK? In fact it is the *basis* for ruling on the 2A? To use a legal academic expression, WTFF?
So here's what the 2A *actually* says, I guess:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, excepting insofar as such infringement is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.
How am I wrong here? 2A is not a firm or clear limit on government, it's a suggestion? If courts and legislatures have infringed it "historically", well, they can do that. (cont.)

The patron saint of weapons and firearms is Saint Sebastian. He was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr (died around 288 AD) who was sentenced to be executed by being shot with arrows. Over time, his patronage extended to firearms and anyone who works with or depends on weapons (hunters, law enforcement, military personnel, gunsmiths, etc.).
He is usually depicted tied to a tree or post, pierced with many arrows.

This seems to capture perfectly the court's legislative power, which is limited only by previous laws or rulings, regardless of how aberrant or baseless they were. NOT by the constitution itself.
As to all the other considerations, thanks for the commenters talking about them, I am aware of them. They can be summed up under "bad faith, lawless performance of duties" by the courts. Which has reached histrionic almost comical proportions, with the leaks in the abortion case and the gaming/delays of the VRA case.
Anyway.

sees this:
- A man in the queue; a little boy behind him plays with the baby cart and hits him repeatedly on the back of his heels - it hurts; the man tells the kid: "OK boy, be careful; it hurts."
- The boy takes no heed and goes on, harder.
— The man asks the mother: "Could you tell your boy to stop?" She replies: "Oh, I raise him to be a free person; I don't want to frustrate him."
- Another man behind the mother carefully opens the shampoo bottle he was carrying and pours it on her head, saying: "Oh yes, my mom raised me like this too."
- Then another lady, behind the shampoo man, hands him a small banknote, saying: "Take this — it's my share for the shampoo."

Now I can compare images in real time, practically. The blues and purples and reds and yellows, forget it. Cameras do excellent, don’t misunderstand but … Nature is amazing. I am very thankful my eyesight is still sharp and clear.
Instead of taking pictures people should focus on making memories, in the emulsion of your mind Or however

You should keep your eye on Harmeet Dhillon and the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Doesn't get talked about much with everything else going on but she is actively pursuing 2A cases including the recently filed case against the state of Colorado and their unlawful magazine ban which in effect was an AR-15 ban.
Roughly 80% of the Civil Rights team resigned or was fired after Trump won but they are getting their mojo on now. And 2A rights are in her bullseye.

Yes. As far as archival quality goes, the main difference was that Kodachrome (Process K-14) was dyed during processing, rather than having the dyes put in the separate layers at the factory, as with Ektachrome/Fujichrome/Agfachrome/Process E-6 slide film (and Process C-41 color negative film). This meant that you could use Extreme Badass dyes rather than being limited to the pussboi dyes that would work in a so-called "integral tripack".
Process K-14 was a Rube Goldberg procedure of diffusing a colored dye into the film, then diffusing it back out, carefully rexposing the film to light during processing through colored filters built in to the film stack, and about a million other steps.
You needed trained chemists on staff to run a K-14 line. In practice, only Kodak itself and a few very large independent processors could afford to process it.
E-6 and C-41 could be processed by local labs, or even at home if you were a careful worker.

Too meaty for an ONT but whig's cite from the Bruen decision contained, as I said above, what seemed a clear statement of the judicial derailment and usurpation. Not just the 2A, but across the board, and not just recently.
If wildly unconstitutional laws were tolerated in the past, then they over-ride the constitution's clear language today. That's actually just part of the problem.
Constitution was designed and intended to be amended as needed. In some ways it has been. But in wide critical areas it's simply ignored, or "interpreted" out of common sense existence, when the populace clearly would be opposed to amending it. The 2A gives no cover whatsoever to this horseshit, so it might be the purest example.

It's been amply demonstrated to all of us over the last decade that we have a huge problem in our legal system, largely our judiciary. They routinely ignore black letter law, overstep their authority and ignore precedent. And why not, there is no downside to going yolo. Neither Roberts nor Congress has done squat to stop them and in some cases like FISA just keeps shoveling them money.
That's the next big problem we have on the to do list.

Well it is a currency par excellence. US Dollars aren’t as desirable by foreigners or foreign governments. Recall that when Obie paid off the Iranian mullahs, they wanted Swiss Francs and pallets of gold bullion. Stable. Not dollars. They take up a lot of room now, since $100 is the largest note, and barely buys a box of smokes.
Sometimes you’ll take a slight discount if you want to convert into local currency, but recognized gold coins are universal money everywhere. Very convenient for spooks paying off informants, and paying in dollars or other currencies might result in very awkward questions. Just guessing, mostly. But I doubt I’m mistaken, because I’m not.

Calif LOWERED the speed limit on some freeway in January.... now the limit switches from 65 to 70 all the time.
Fun Part? by Calif law if the speed limit is 65, Trucks with trailers have a 55 speed limit, but when it is 70, they can drive 70.
Also, by lowering the speed limit, people are on the road more time... thus more congestion... about 7% more which is noticeably.

Oh, right. No, the IDF tries/usually succeeds in being so precise it's considered a demerit if a high-value target hit takes out anyone else at all. Poor Lebanon. "Palestinians", then Iran, have ruined the place, and it's doubtful there'll be any real improvement in our lifetime.

I have a 500 gallon tank and AmeriGas fills it to 400.
At least AmeriGas has stopped using foreign call centers for customer service. A couple of years ago, I could not get it through their thick heads that my tank was down to 6% and we had a hard freeze coming. I eventually went to the local yard and taped a note on the door telling them we needed propane. 30 minutes later a guy from there called and said they were on their way.

Reuters further reported that the intercepted drones had been launched from Iran, marking another escalation in tensions as Washington moves to counter perceived threats to regional maritime traffic and its military presence.
Just prior to this confirmation, CNN described mystery explosions along Iran's coast:
Three explosions were heard to the east of Bandar Abbas, a strategic Iranian port city and naval base near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported in the early hours of Thursday.
The blasts were reported at around 1:30 a.m. local time and caused the air defense systems of Bandar Abbas to be briefly activated, according to Fars, a media outlet with links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

But they used American film! They had captured it from a crashed satellite or spy plane or somesuch. They couldn’t make film as thin as we could, or something like that.
If I remember correctly they took the shots, developed the film on the satellite itself, and then slow scanned the images via radio to the ground.
The earliest US spy satellites did a similar Rube Goldberg kind of thing, the film lacks being ejected by parachute and snatched up by airplanes. It was a big deal once they stopped using film. A lot of times, whatever they were trying to get intelligence on, the information was hopelessly stale or outdated by the time it had been retrieved, developed, and pored over by the spooks.

The car in the image is a green convertible from the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring a sleek, low-profile body, chrome bumpers, and a rear design typical of European sports cars of that era. The styling cues — such as the tail lights, rear fender shape, and overall proportions — suggest it could be a model similar to an Alfa Romeo Spider or another small European roadster from the same period.
Key identifying features:
Two-door convertible body style
Chrome bumper with rubber guards
Distinctive rear tail light design
Wire-style or simple steel wheels
Compact, sporty proportions
Given the era of the Kodak Fotomat booth (popular in the 1970s), the car fits the aesthetic and automotive trends of that time.

They can lick my ass. When I moved here a few years ago we had them fill the two 100 lb propane tanks that are here that runs the stove, because there is no gas line in the street. A few months ago we ran out of propane and we called them. They said nah bro, you don't use enough. I said you filled it last time, and one of these tanks are yours because you exchanged it. nah bro, keep the tank, fuck off.

What's almost amusing though is the weird combo of 1) no real leaks or info from our side about details 2) endless mostly incorrect leaks from various sources 3) instantaneous and sometimes amusing Iranian denials of all the leaked details (most of which cause panic among savvier sorts on our side).
There was a background briefing, finally, a few days ago, which was mildly concerning if taken at face value, which I don't. But the combo above has created a cycle of panic/Iranian repudiation/Trump returning to truculent trash talk that (presumably) calms the panicans. Kind of funny actually. Cannot recall a furrin' policy situation quite like it.

Clothing details had to be perfect. American (and British?) buttons were sewn on with an “X” pattern for example. The European, in parallel. The French would smoke a cigarette down to nothing, and a lot of Euros held their cigarettes differently than Americans, in the first two fingers. Stuff like that would get you arrested.

Home tanks are sized in volume (gallons), so.it's easy to see what's going on. My 300 gallon tank only gets filled to 240 gallons.
The RV tanks are rated in weight, so the 80 % rule in pounds can only be defined at a particular temp, so they actually get filled to 4.6 gallons, which may or may not be 16#, depending on the temperature.

Yes, this is absolutely correct.
But the fact is, the point here, a 20 pound propane tank has this safety margin already factored in. Do you get it now?
They weren’t stupid when they designed these. There is no reason to fill a 20 pound propane tank with only 15 pounds, or any other fraction, other than to rip off the customer. Which is what they do.

In one close-quarters battle, the two sides were exchanging insults along with bullets grenades and bayonet thrusts. Typical exchange was "Roosevelt eats s**t!" to which the reply would be "Tojo eats s**t!". One time an American soldier mixed it up with "Tojo eats corned beef!" to which came the reply "Eleanor eats powdered eggs!". WTF? Clearly one of those Japanese had English skills.

Strangers either paid for it in restaurants, or invited us into their homes before we set foot in a restaurant, or tbe owners would not take our money...or quit bringing food out.

Which is why I take *my* tank to my local propane dealer and have them fill it. It doesn't matter whether it has a bit of propane left in it, the tube under the valve extends down into the tank to the 80% level. When liquid comes out of the relief valve, it's as full as it's supposed to be. Then I pay for the exact amount of propane they just metered out. Those exchange tanks at the hardware or big box store (Blue Rhino, etc) is where you're getting taken. Note that they never actually tell you how much propane you're getting.
Note the the valve and associated tube is tank size specific. Basically the tube under the valve is longer for larger tanks.

I can get just short of 13 days running 24/7, on a catalytic heater set on low, provided it’s a full tank of 20 pounds. This is excellent fuel “mileage”, and I don’t need to run it 24/7 unless it gets truly cold. So it extends out to almost a month.
When they only fill it to 75% of their rated safe capacity, it just fucks up my fuel planning. There’s no reason for it, other than they are fuckheads.

Iranian drone/missile attack on Kuwait, reportedly a "response" to our hits. Presumably at a US base there.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 28, 2026 01:46 AM (8zz6B)
I personally am a big fan of "hot" ceasefires. Most of these have been in the MidEast (surprise!). In the No. 1 is the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. Naturally Hezb didn't follow the requirements from the get-go, so naturally the Israelis immediately responded, and continued to respond to Hezb's mostly clumsy attempts in south Lebanon. As in Gaza, Hezb has interwoven their military assets with civilian infrastructure, so some villages now look like Gaza, plus the main town.
Anyway it's been "hot" all the way. Don't have inside story of course but there has been US dipshi**ery along the way. A request to not bring down buildings (this is about Dahiyeh, the southern Beirut suburb, "Hezbollahland". For "PR" reasons. Stupid. Anyway, there've been some targeted hits there in any case.
We haven't attempted to seriously restrain Israeli action and won't. They're not going to live with being attacked daily by these idiots. One more reason Tehran must change management.

We got the yard mowed, mostly, before the rains hit. 'Nother round of deluge. We're in what dear old Mom used to call the monsoon season.
Checked another box on my iconic films list tonight. After years of seeing the sunglasses memes, I read that They Live was free for streaming on the tooyubes, so that's what we did. After starting another movie that was too trashy to finish. Like Stargate the other night, They Live was… all that I expected and less. Better than the trashy movie, anyway.

**Yes.** A 2025 Concerned Women for America report found ~41% of Netflix’s G-rated and TV-Y/TV-Y7 kids’ shows include LGBT characters, themes, or messaging.
Examples:
- *Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City* (trans character Banoffee, nonbinary Raisin Cane)
- *The Magic School Bus Rides Again* (same-sex moms, trans-coded chameleon)
- *Dead End: Paranormal Park* (trans lead)
- *The Baby-Sitters Club* (trans boy storyline)
- *Ridley Jones* (nonbinary character)
Netflix also has an official “LGBTQ+ Stories for Families” section.

If there's gas in the tank, it'll stay there a while yet. And the carb will need to be "gone-through" anyway, as it hasn't been ridden since... wow, guess it's been at least 10 years, maybe 12?

I also cannot tell you folks enough about how much everyone in the rest of TX hates liberal freaks from Austin. Hell, they just hate people from Austin in general, even the mid-road types. And Talarico is very-VERY Austin Freak-ish. It oozes out of him. This, by itself = a 10-15 point victory by Paxton. Once the carpet bombing adds showing him, in his own words/voice, speaking about his f-d up "Christian Tranny, Gay, Abortion" doctrine - it might end up being a 20 Point victory. I hope Democrats burn 100M on this guy. It. Will. Not. Work.

Not really. The tank will smell realllly bad, and the carb is fubar, but I've dealt with worse. As long as the carb isn't rotted it can be brought back easy. I just brought a 1951 panhead back to life that sat for 15 years. If it was fuel injection you would be sooo screwed, but the carb would be easy. I would imagine it still has the stock CV carb, and they aren't too bad. Might have a clogged accelerator pump nozzle and jets, but no biggie. When you're ready we can conquer it.

1977, we (wife, 6 year old, 8 year old, me) were backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness above Tahoe in August when a big snowstorm came through. It was a real.adventure getting out from 15 miles from the closest road. The Forest Service pulled out an entire Boy Scout troop. 2 guys who were day hiking and not prepared died.
In August.

I'm calling shenanigans that this is even Islamic. Looks like tribal Bronze Age scapegoating to me, except with a water buffalo.
Islam has a completely different ritual, where they chuck stones at some pillar representing Satan.
There's sacrifice of cattle but those are not to represent unclean things they hate. It's to represent the taking of life necessary to sustain the people. (Like kosher butchery possibly, a Jewish 'ron might help here)
tl;dr a lot of subcontinental "Islam" is a thin veneer over tribal practices usually awful and inbred.

FBI Arrests CIA Official With $40 Million in Gold Bars
May 27, 2026 at 5:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Times: “A senior C.I.A. official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a small fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.”
“The official, David Rush, is being held in jail while he awaits a detention hearing in the coming days on charges of stealing public money by filling out fraudulent time sheets. The charging documents filed in Alexandria, Va., still leave a lot unanswered about his recent conduct.”

The DFL is profoundly shaken and devastated by the horrific shooting today at the Canterbury Park Expo Center. This senseless act of violence occurred during a sacred prayer service — a time meant for peace, reflection, and community — leaving one person fatally wounded. Our hearts are with the victim, their family, and the entire community traumatized by this tragedy.
We stand in absolute solidarity with Minnesota’s Muslim community during this dark hour. This attack is part of a deeply alarming national rise in threats and violence targeting mosques and other religious institutions. We stand in solidarity against this violence and remain committed to ensuring the safety of all Minnesotans.

My stoner buddy back in high school got REALLY pissed off when I explained Troy versus Avoirdupois weights. He already knew this, apparently, through hard experience.
He was “fronted” a pound of weed to sell from his dealer. But when he sold ounces - he didn’t use 28 grams per ounce, he used 31 grams (Troy) to an ounce.
He had a scale but was using the wrong standard. Oops. This starts to add up after a while. Ha!

Embed the gold in hollowed-out bars of soap from the ladies' room.
Security guard: "Hey, you, what are those lumps in your shorts' pockets? Gold bars?"
"Naw, just bars of soap I stole from the Ladies' room when I went in to download the files from the camera."

For the non-Minnesotans, Canterbury Park is the horse-and-dog-racing track associated with the Mystic Lake (Sioux Indian) Casino. Also, congratulations on being non-Minnesotan.
And "DFL" is Democrat-Farmer-Labor, the MN branch of the normal Democrat party. But I suspect everyone here knew that already.

HOLY FAFO!! 🔥

You can tell CNN is devastated 🤣
"Our sources tell us that this investigation is focused on a 2022 deposition that Carroll gave where she said that she had not received any outside funding."
"Now, her lawyers later told the judge that she had in fact received funding for legal fees and expenses from billionaire Reid Hoffman."
"The judge overseeing this case ultimately said there were no issues with her credibility and blocked Trump lawyers from asking about this at trial."

Yep, the current big barge is named the Pegasus, and is what transports the SLS to the Cape. They've done this since the Apollo days, to the Shuttle, and to now.
The Saturn V transporting was a complicated thing. The SI-C (first stage) was built in Michoud. Now, the S-II and S-IVBs were made in California. The S-IVB (third stage) could be transported by air with that giant Supper Guppy. But not the S-II. That had to go the long way around down through the Panama Canal and back up the Gulf Coast. They had some special Navy vessel which did that.
Those huge stages were way too big for land transport across the country.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Ken Paxton won 252 counties out of 254 with Cornyn only winning Travis County (Austin) and tiny Kenedy County (winning just 6 out of 8 votes). Cornyn and the Senate Republicans spent more money on this campaign than any other Senate campaign in history and lost by double digits. Imagine what the GOP could have done with that money in the 12 House toss-up seats. Embarrassing hubris on display in Texas - shame on you Cornyn, shame on you Thune.
9:01 AM · May 27, 2026
Politico (2022): Biden, in fact, also sees Cornyn as critical; the senator’s staff is in touch with the White House on guns and Biden recently described the Texan as a “rational Republican.”
“People are going to say what they’re going to say,” Cornyn said. “But I’m happy to be part of the coalition of the rational.”

The Washington Post Style section asks the question:

After reading through 1,221 words of TDS infused remarks, the Post finally gets to the point:
Per Swimming Pool Steve, the blue color President Trump picked is "going to very likely be a more sharp and accurate reflection versus the original gray color... What you’re going to see is a higher contrast to the light of the sky and clouds.”

The old court case of US v Miller is where Scalia dredged up the firearms in common use language for arming militia in Heller, and that is now established as the historical test used for Scotus in 2A analysis.
Given semi automatic rifles have existed since the beginning of the 20th century, the recent attempts at banning semi automatic rifles doesn't meet the historical test for states to be allowed to ban them. Even the NFA act of 1934 and the GCA of 1968 did not do so.
That is where I would take my aim at. Demonstrating bans on semi automatic rifles and firearms are NOT historically based.

Years ago I stunned the nice people at the very empty polling place by signing in after they asked for my name, and then asking, in a friendly way - "how do you know that's me?". Blank looks. Two young volunteers were there. One by chance was a guy who played goalie at the Friday hockey pick-up. The old folks sort of sat there puzzled, the two kids said "yeah, that's a good point".

There’s this weird thing with liberals. Modern leftists anyhow. They don’t know how to think. I mean, there are basic building blocks to logic and reason, it doesn’t require a Big Brain or be an Einstein.
They seem to reject thinking at all now, in favor of emoting, and slogans. Thought ending cliches. I expect this if someone is 25, not when they are 45 or 55.
The implication was “Childless women (or homosexuals) should not be in charge of nations” and he knew he had to accept that thesis. And he didn’t like that idea too much.

Because the district courts have to use the case facts of the actual law, then use the specific formula in Bruen (2022), "We reiterate that the standard for applying the Second Amendment is as follows: When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation."

I was there for the transition, which is why I mentioned it. One day the jug of Gallo wine was replaced by this Franzia box. What gives, Mom?

But I am local, and can host you for a dinner, or even make it for you, if you like Wagu beef.

In short, they get away with it because they're in circuits that are dominated by left-leaning judges. So far, every challenge has failed at the circuit level so there is no circuit split to force (to whatever extent they can be forced) SCOTUS to tackle the issue head-on.

That takes district courts doing fact finding, then courts of appeal reviewing it, then Scotus review if any. Takes years to work out in a lot of cases where you have jurisdictions and courts with an animosity toward a fundamental right. The lower courts figure they can't catch us all, the appellate courts gussy up the district court opinions in bloviation, and then Scotus sits on its ass for years. They did that with affirmative action too for far too long.

Scotus ignores that if it wants to on conflicts. Rule 10 is more an advisory guide to appellants than a hard fast rule on cert. It is more because you probably have about 4 justices that are supporters of the 2a--Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh. Two that are wobbly, ACB and Roberts, and three that are hostile--Kagan, Action Jackson, and Sotomayor. It takes four votes to grant cert but you don't want to grant cert if you think the weaker justices will sign on to the hostiles. So you wait, sometimes years, for the best fact pattern to force the weak justices to vote your way.

Becoming a bigger crank all the time. Having children is no guarantee of anything either. Plenty of assholes and evil people reproduce.
