Top Story
- Reddit is suing Australia to have itself removed from the under-16 banlist. (The Register)
Reddit is a screaming dumpster fire, but so is our government, and I can simply ignore Reddit if I choose. So I'm solidly on their side.
Tech News
- Want a high-resolution monitor but still need fast refresh rates for games? Asus' new XG27JG has you covered. (Tom's Hardware)
It's a 5k model which is good enough for almost anything, and runs at 180Hz which is also good enough for almost anything. But if you drop the resolution to 2560x1440 you can boost the refresh rate to 330Hz, which is more than enough.
HDR 600 and 97% of DCI-P3 colour. One small catch: It doesn't work at its full resolution and refresh rate on an Nvidia 4000-series card, because those only support an older version of DisplayPort. Previous generation Radeon 7000 series cards do work, as do all current-generation cards.
Around $835.
- Buying 1152GB of Frakenram for $8000. (Tom's Hardware)
The user put an offer in on a second-hand custom Nvidia AI system that originally cost around $80,000 and managed to get it working.
- Over 10,000 Docker Hub images have been found leaking credentials. (Bleeping Computer)
It's over 10,000!

Good morning, good people, from the Adirondacks, currently laboring under 6.5" of dreaded climate change.
I'd forgotten, as usual, how much fun moving climate change isn't. And how quickly the weather wailers spring into action, bemoaning their plights.

My HR has sprung into action with all the energy one expects from Human Resources in a mega-corp and noticed that today is my last day so, perhaps, they should give me a checklist or some shit about what they'd like me to do on the way out the door.
Fortunately, I had contacted them a couple weeks ago - wanted info on how COBRA works - so I already had the checklist and have been ticking things off.

"Is this the solution to the DDR5 Crisis?"
https://youtu.be/vwJZztIrQO8
He surfed and found deals on an Intel 12900K (MicroCenter CPU bundle with a motherboard), 32GB DDR4, Gen4 1TB SSD, 1000W PSU, and a RX 9070XT, and got the cost to around $1600 for a pretty decent gaming PC at a reasonable cost.
It's not a bad way to start a PC build the way things are with DDR5 pricing driving up the costs on an AM5 platform build.
You could also substitute some AMD 5000 series processors on a AM4 motherboard if you're not an Intel fan. Jay went with Intel because he believes they had a better product that generation. You could also go with an Intel 13th or 14th Gen CPU and still use DDR4.

Because of her genealogy research, Linda wanted to drive to a town in the SW part of the state -- she said some of my ancestors came from there. Or lived there, or ate ice cream there; something like that. So off we went. A pleasant day trip, if hot (the first week of April here is already insufferable).

Stirling once again displayed the little mealtime clock in his head today by jumping up on the bed at *exactly* four o'clock. He doesn't get any chow until five, but he figures there's nothing like being early. Little gray Dagny is lounging on a chair at the table, being quiet and patient, while he paces around and plays with one of his toys. She plays too, but usually *after* she eats.

I wonder if faculty, and especially staff, at universities are being checked on and sometimes rounded up. My former department was determined to be "diverse," and they continually hired foreign Ph.D.s who always required all sorts of visa paperwork and huge payments to the Feds. I muttered under my breath, "You wouldn't have this problem if you hired an American Ph.D.," but I knew no one would listen to me.
I got in trouble one time because Facilities sent three workers to repair my boss's office ceiling who did not speak any English -- not the usual crowd. I asked their office politely if they could send someone who did, so we could communicate. Some Karen over there complained -- not to me, but behind my back to my boss. He was forced to warn me about "such comments."

I'd better check and air up the tires on the Buick ahead of the cooldown on Sunday, so they will still be at a proper fill when the temp drops. Soon, too, I need to buy the oil and filter for the next six months. I hate to waste oil -- the little meter in the instrument panel says there is still 40% oil life left after six months, and it is synthetic oil. It can go longer. But I also hate to go beyond six months on any fill.

It's an easy marker for me to remember. And usually at six months the oil life is down to 20-25% with the driving I do here. It's higher than usual this time because of my 2000-mile trip to Indiana in Sept.
I'm using Walmart's own Supertech brand, so I'm not throwing too much money away. If I were running Mobil 1 or Castrol synthetic, I'd need to go longer. But an eight-month or nine-mont interval is harder for me to remember.

If your culture is fine with wholesale corruption and rape, then if you are corrupt and rape strangers at knife point, then you are not "bad" - as long as you make justifications for your actions according to your culture.
That is probably why the Globalists want to destroy the WASP ethics and moral structure by flooding the West with alien cultures that often are fully incompatible with the predominant culture.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - December 11, 2025 [scampydog]
Lens flare pictures - occasionally chance deliver a beautiful shot. Here is a lovely one sent along by AoSHQ commenter, nurse ratched.
The subterranean world of Dixia Cheng consists of a network of tunnels and chambers under Beijing that stretches across 33 square miles of underground catacombs. Also named the “Underground Great Wall” for its vastness and military purpose, the tunnel complex was dug by hand by local citizens throughout the 1970s to serve as a shelter during invasions, air raids, or nuclear attacks. At the height of its readiness, there were more than 90 entrances to the underground corridors which were hidden in the backs of homes and businesses. Civilians seeking shelter from Soviet bombardments in the underground complex would have been safe from boredom as well as bombs. Classrooms were constructed for the children living in the underground city, and recreational amenities like a movie theater, barber shops, restaurants, and a roller skating rink were all awaiting a potential flood of refugees. Chambers in auxiliary tunnels held grain, weapons, and other supplies. The underground city also held sites for growing sunless crops like mushrooms and areas prepared for well drilling.Pendleton, OR. Way back days Pendleton boasted a lot of bars, 18 brothels, and what is now an underground (sounds Moron worthy).
Pendleton used to be known as the entertainment capital of Eastern Oregon, and with thirty two bars and eighteen brothels, it's easy to see why this was a hot spot of the old west.Another 37 undergrounds across the world. How about some of those catacombs in Europe?

Across a large swath of academe, teaching is perceived as a burden to be endured. Faculty bemoan heavy teaching loads. Prized faculty teach light loads, with courses “bought out” by research grants or fellowships. (Deans and department chairs similarly negotiate for reduced teaching loads.) In short, a lighter teaching load is a badge of professional success.

THE TRUTH The Department of War killed 11 narco-terrorists in a coordinated strike designed to “kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.” This attack was the first in a series of lethal kinetic strikes against Designated Terrorist Organizations. The Washington Post published this unsubstantiated claim in an attempt to discredit the United States’ warfighters and inflame anti-American sentiment.

House #3 will have the best music, overall.
Though the music at #1 is pretty close.
AC/DC and Journey overwhelm the good bands at house #2.
But most of the chicks are at houses #2 and #4, so I may have to re-think my priorities.

Miss Linda came over, I fed her (two eggs, some toast and butter). She spent an hour or two curled around her phone, nothing new there, and announced at eight that she needed to go home. I exhorted her to take some meds for her cold and to be sure to eat something tomorrow morning.
She hates taking even small pills, has an almost indetectable pulse, can't tell me what kind of pain she has when she complains of one, and refuses to eat when she is sick. If I were a doctor and had a bunch of patients as difficult to deal with, I'd be thinking about changing careers.

It has a huge blastproof reinforced vault like door, underground house chambers, cafeteria, medical facilities, sleeping quarters, the whole nine yards for congress to continue operating.
What was strange was some clown reporter for a magazine revealed the existence of the facility, and that was the end of it, gazillions of dollars wasted. They should have sent that fucker to prison for 80 years just on general principles.

But otherwise there would be FAR too many crappy post-1978 Aerosmith songs, cheesy Boston love songs, AC/DC songs that are way overplayed (like Thunderstruck) and lacking in the deeper cuts by Kiss and the great stuff from the Ace Frehley era and instead propped up by Kiss stuff that sucked.
Put me at House Party #1. And whatever idiot referred to Judas Priest in a derogatory manner never owned British Steel or Stained Class or Screaming for Vengeance or Killing Machine or Point of Entry. Metal circles would laugh you out of their presence.

I felt the same way about Osama bin Laden being killed because he "resisted arrest". And conveniently, we didn't have to bother with a trial, including a lot of whining from foreign and domestic liberals about his civil rights. He was shot resisting arrest, and buried at sea, so no one could prove otherwise.

Pi just kills me - an old math professor turned me on to this: π is believed to be a normal number ( π is strongly suspected to be one, though not yet proven). If a number is normal in base 10, then every finite sequence of digits appears with exactly the expected frequency. Even without full normality being proven for π, it has passed every statistical test for normality to millions of digits, so for all practical purposes any finite string you can imagine is essentially guaranteed to appear somewhere in π if you go far enough.
The key mathematical concept is normality of a number (specifically "normal in base 10"). A slightly weaker but still relevant property that π is known to have is that it is disjunctive (every finite sequence appears at least once), which is true for almost all real numbers in the sense of Lebesgue measure.
Your phone number, your birthday, the entire text of Hamlet encoded as digits… all of it is hiding in π if you look far enough out.

In all fairness, neither did Kurt.
Nevermind was produced to a state he didn't necessarily want. "Teen Spirit" was supposed to be some Louie-Louie parody. The single was supposed to be "Come As You Are", a Killers plagiary so obvious that the band was expecting maybe a few hipsters would enjoy.

I loathe that song nearly as much as "Imagine".
I would be absolutely disgusted with myself if I was immortalized as the woman who babysits a drunk addict through yet another evening out while he binges, takes his keys, drives him home, holds him up while he staggers in, pours him into bed to sleep it off before he starts all over, and my validation is that before he passes out, he tosses me the bone of "gee you're swell".
Not to mention the dreary drugged whine of the tune.

The songs aren't in chronological order for the story, so I don't know if it's "a concept album." But some lyrical and musical themes show up in multiple songs.
Undertow's lyrics are basically "if you love something, set it free." First verse:
Let me go, let me go, let me seek the answers that I need to know.
Let me find a way, let me walk away, through the undertow.
Please let me go.....
But it uses the melody from the bridge of "This Heart Of Mine (I Pledge)" for its guitar solo. The lyrics from that part are:
I believe this heart of mine when it tells my eyes, that this is beauty
I believe this heart of mine when it tells my mind, that this is reason
I believe this heart of mine when it cries at time, that this is forever
I believe this heart of mine when it tells the skies, that this is the face of God

Later, in college, I'd sit up drinking with Mom if I didn't go out with friends. The last thing I wanted to do was get up early on The Day.
Mrs. Wolfus No. 2's extended maternal family had a tradition of gathering in one relative's house on Xmas Eve. Fortunately they all lived pretty close to each other. "I won't inflict my family on you except at Christmas and Easter," she said, and (for once) was as good as her word. I didn't know any of the people and they didn't wear name tags, so I was lost.

$79 billion in COVID fraud could have been prevented if four basic questions were asked.
Is the Social Security Number valid, does the number match the name, does the birthday match, and is the individual ALIVE?

On Tuesday I got a letter from the fed government and the Army. They wrote to inform me that my house and the property it’s on is a designated national superfund site. So it turns out there’s different levels of superfund from Aaagh! we must set our hair on fire spend a billion dollars and bring in the core of engineers! to “well good luck that pal”. My house is on the latter end.
So turns out there was an army camp north of ATL that became an artillery and ordinance training area before WWII. (cont.)

Reported in the last thread. She is out of surgery. Surgeon decided not to do a liver resection, but implanted a pump to deliver chemo drugs directly to her liver.
I don't know if this is good news, or bad news. I would hope it's good news, meaning the surgeon thinks direct application of chemo will save her liver.

Savatage was frigging great. Power of the night and The unholy were killer tunes. The lyrics for The Unholy were genius.
Raging spirits kept from the light, enslaved in worlds of doom
marching armies to the darker side, the devil's black platoon
Torches raised, no mercy, victory was theirs
Such was life, in the unholy years
You're not hearing shit like that in hair metal, thats for sure.

So, now I have a dilemma. Do I 1) just toss the matching sock back in the dirty clothes bin with the dirty one, and suck up being one pair short all week? Or, 2) do I just wear the dirty one with its clean mate sometime this week, so I now have a dirty pair to wash next time?
Or, 3) do I surreptitiously toss it in the garbage, pretending it got lost? (I think the universe would punish me for mocking its mysteries like that. Very dangerous.)
If I were living in the days of hand-washing everything, I would just hand-wash it and hang it out with the others. But, nooooo, we have these infernal machines....

If Spock was here he would say 1 and 3 both leaves you a pair short, so you might as well do #1 and still have the socks. #2 is right out.

Trump is not going to start a boots-on-the-ground regime change war. He's just making Maduro an offer he can't refuse. This is the Donroe doctrine, reasserting American control of our hemisphere. Chicoms and Iran and even Rooskies have been encroaching, thanks to Biden weakness. Donnie Two Scoops is putting his foot down. Maduro is the example being made.

LoL you reminded me of the coldest my feet have been waking up. We didn’t do much winter camping but did some, and our troop camped out in Northern Arizona one February. It was quite fun, and the first night it snowed about 6 inches - a very quiet, fluffy snow. I had a good zero degree sleeping bag, but I was in an open ended pup tent and my feet stuck out the open end. I remember waking up trying to figure out why my feet were so damned cold, then I looked down and saw 6 inches of snow on the bottom foot of my sleeping bag.

Do a search on DataRepublican's X feed for Venezuela. Under Maduro, it's become quite the hub for anti-American subversion by several bad actors. Antifa and the domestic commies. Iran and the Islamists. And the Chicoms.
A lot of this drug stuff is the Chicoms messing us up. Weaken us by all that drug carnage. And the Chicoms are trying to get in on the oil. Donnie Two Scoops ain't gonna let that happen. This is our backyard, and they ain't gonna fuck around with us there.

The economy was pretty good in the 90s, so I imagine it was fun to complain and whine about how everything sucked, knowing things were actually pretty good overall. This is based on zero research, I was a teenager in the 90s and enjoying Nirvana, but this seems like a possible explanation for this type of music at that time, in hindsight.

Wolfus, if it were a better song musically, instead of a dirge, I could buy that it (the behavior) was an aberration.
My impression of that relationship was more of Harrison and Clapton sharing a muse of sorts, really an it-girl model who was basically a groupie, but who had a career other than just screwing rock stars.
They competed, and she bounced back and forth.
And yes, he had his dreg/drug period like many of them did.
It ain't his best, in any way shape or form, and the sentiment (from my point of view) is just kind of gross.
If it speaks to someone positively, chacun a son gout.
There are people who love "Imagine", too!

Hey, JQ! Thanks for asking.
I kinda went nuts on the thing and bought a slightly larger fuel tank, new fuel pump, multiport fuel injectors, fuel filter, and a new exhaust manifold. I looked at the underside of the exhaust manifold, and found a large crack. Figured if I have to replace it,I might as well go all out and do the injectors and the fuel pump. Mostly an excuse to spend time with my oldest boy, anyway. I'm not just going to do this one for him, so, over the Christmas break...

DH called me from the ER. He was at another doc appt, trying to get his hip pain fixed. Spiked a hideously high BP. They sent him immediately to the ER.
I was at the vet with itchy dogs, finding out they probably have lice.
So, I drive a good 30 miles through rush hour Wasilla, to find DH at ER, who has received a nice high dose of morphine to get his hip to not torture him, and his BP is back down. Not my favorite way to spend the afternoon.
I drove his ass home, and he puked twice on the way. Morphine is a bitch mistress.
Anyway, he doesn't get real pain relief until next Thursday, when they inject his hip with some damned thing that supposed to block the nerve action. One day after I have shoulder surgery.
Fucking hell. So, any prayers you have to offer would be lovely.

Well, done for the night. Got two capacitors replaced, and the pair of wires that go to the output transformer, mounted on the speaker frame. I think I will gut out all the wires that went to the various batteries, and build an outboard power supply that can provided the A, B(2), and C voltages. Control that by the power switch on the panel. There is an octal socket on the rear chassis apron already there for that purpose. I need only reconfigure it.

As it was doc-splained to me, phenergan is a synthesized form of some element from South American tree bark, bringing up images of deathly sick jungle tribesmen stripping the bark off every tree they run into -- and the pusher, a guy on the corner in a Panama hat and trenchcoat going "Yo, kid -- wanna quit pukin'?"

NCKate,
When we lost our last dog we were looking at the dog rescue sites. We would see a dog we were willing to adopt, but it turned out that a lot of the sites were bait and switch operations.
We would be told that dog is no longer available for adoption but we have all these pitbull rescues.
No dice.

it is very rare to find any pitbulls, nearly everything is a "pit mix" and if you read the studies about those you see that there's no meaningful standard for determining what is a pit and what is not, it is usually done by visual identification and the standards vary from region to region across country.
find something you have a good report with and youre food to go

My cats are indoor-outdoor cats, and they made it pretty old. I think the two oldest ladies are 17, and the old toms were 15 - one had a cancer and one got et and he was always a bit sickly.
I think it is a mix of wet and dry food that is best, and control the fleas and parasites.
Cats don't like bitterness, and sometimes tap water can be bitter to them. That can keep them from drinking enough water, so I put a pinch of salt in the water bowl to take away some of the bitterness for them. Cats are prey to kidney problems so the extra water is best for them.

Then are there are other breeds that are way less vicious than pits, too? Or are pits nicer than, say, golden retrievers?

Watching the first broadcast Trek episode, "The Man Trap." It struck me anew how hushed Shatner's delivery is as he narrates the captain's log, as if he is trying not to intrude on the story or trying not to be overheard. It made me try to remember some other TV show or movie where I'd noted the same thing.
It took me half an hour to recall: the narration by Joe, William Holden, for Sunset Boulevard. It's almost as if Joe does not want to be overheard -- or is talking on the phone with someone and is keeping his voice down to as not to disturb someone else. The technique is appropriate in both properties.

Most shelters have no idea what they are looking at, they guess. If that lab mix you are adopting has eyes in different zip codes, you are looking at a pit mix. Shelters And try really hard to avoid pit labeling, too. It’s DNA testing that is showing the high levels of pits in shelter dogs. Also, shelters are interesting in that they send dogs to other shelters all the time. Some of it is to level vet spend, I will take 1 high needs dog of yours if you take those 5 pit / husky crosses. It’s kind of bizarre - if they get a purebred dog in, a lot of shelters will not allow a direct adoption but will send them to a breed rescue who will charge you 3 times as much to adopt.

I am in Alabama, I don’t work with shelters directly. One of my very good friends is a well known Shiba rescuer- though he will go get any breed that needs to be saved. He is contacted by lots of private rescue organizations who don’t have room or resources and he will drive wherever to get them and match to his list of prospective adopters or bring them to legit breed rescue orgs or fosters who do have room. He also has a Shiba sanctuary for those with bite histories, etc. people really do not understand how difficult Shibas are, they get them because they are cute. Anyway, that is another conversation. The things he goes through with actual shelters is incredibly frustrating. The stories are maddening.

Are you retarded? Not a personal attack, but you do understand the concept of letting someone make a total ass of themselves and just feeding them so that they do it again and again.
That is what Trump is doing. He will not defy a court order. He scrupulously follows them, no matter how unlawful or asinine, and he leaves it to the other judges to untangle this bullshit the the left has spun for itself.
Trump's brain trust knows that this is twisting Roberts' guts because it is destroying the legitimacy of the courts. There is no precedent, no reason behind these rulings, just naked assertions of power, and as much as these judges are slapped down, they do it again. And so Trump lets the guy go, and then will arrest him because HE'S HERE ILLEGALLY, and they can't get past that. They just keep saying "MOAR PROCESS," so he gives it to them.

And they will take the cat back if it proves you can't care for him.
Since a 7-year-old cat is only about 35-40 in human terms, it's a bit of a mismatch in the name, but the idea is that an older cat will be more settled and easier for an older human to handle.

The Big Dummy walked at today's Central Florida KC show. Her Majesty said that under this judge the dog had to be lame to have a chance. But TBD looked good and showed well. He has tomorrow off, then the AKC National Championship show Saturday.

With cats, there are Siamese, Maine Coon, Somali, Siberian, Norwegian Forest Cat, Persian . . . yes, I guess so.
With dogs, Ive usually seen "German shepherd" rather than "German Shepherd," and "collie," lower case, including "border collie." But there's Labrador, Newfoundland, Corgi, Schipperke, and lots more.

That's about an exoplanet, TOI-270 d. It's a planet about 70-ish ly away orbiting a red dwarf. It's looking like this is what was recently dubbed a "hycean" (hydrogen + ocean) planet. Heavy H2 atmosphere, but with a liquid water ocean underneath.

Mrs. Wrecks had a dream that it was she who was driving the car and became obsessed with that thought. She searched her car and noticed a few tiny dents and a spot of what might have been blood. She was trying to establish an alibi but neither she nor I can remember where she was at the time. I tried my best to talk her down since her guilt is based upon absolutely nothing but had little success. Finally, tonight, six days later, the paper admits the driver stayed at the scene and has been identified. So Mrs. Wrecks is off the hook. Hopefully, life can return to normal or, at least, no more weird than usual.

That's a common misconception. It ignores inverse square behavior and signal to noise and all that, vs omnidirectional vs our signals that are more "beamed" and so forth.
Our general radio/TV and communications stuff would be detectable only about 5 - 20 ly away. The high end would require an Arecibo size disk and the best detection we have now.
Very high power, highly beamed stuff that got blasted off the planet from military radars and stuff would be detectable maybe 50 ly away, but the aliens would have to be right in the angular line of sight.
They've done planetary radar studies, using Arecibo at high power for instance. Very tight beams, high power. Those might get out a few thousand ly, but again, narrow line of sight.

CNN: Obama's White House Counsel Routinely Advised and Defended Jeffrey Epstein
Gee I wonder why.Friendship? Really?
When billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein needed legal advice, help responding to negative press, or just moral support, he often turned to an unexpected confidante -- Kathy Ruemmler, an elite attorney who served two US presidents and was once a top candidate for US attorney general. As thousands of new documents tied to Epstein have been released, many of those closest to him have paid a steep price for their friendship by forfeiting influential jobs and weathering fierce public blowback. Yet Ruemmler, a former White House counsel for Barack Obama, has maintained a prestigious post as chief legal officer for Goldman Sachs.
Note this is after Jeffrey Epstein's conviction for prostitution. Which was understood to actually be about underaged child sex trafficking. But their "friendship" endured.
The bank has continued to stand by her -- even as emails show Epstein calling her "my great defender" and seeking her help pushing back on reports detailing his abuse of underage girls. A CNN KFile review of Epstein's emails and travel schedules sheds new light on his relationship with the power-broking lawyer and shows that their ties went far beyond professional advice and into the realm of a friendship. Among the many high-profile and notable names that appear in the Epstein messages, Ruemmler is one of the most frequently referenced, with more than 100 exchanges between her and Epstein over several years. Epstein's schedule reveals that he was set to meet with Ruemmler more than 50 times between July 2014 and May 2019, including for lunches and dinners with celebrities, apartment hunting, and personal beauty appointments. As early as 2014, the year that Ruemmler left the Obama White House, the pair already appeared close, with Ruemmler telling Epstein in one email, "I'll be here all week -- you may get sick of me."
Perfect! Then the emails are not privileged.
In a statement to CNN, Ruemmler said, "In 2014, I barely knew Jeffrey Epstein. My remark was a throwaway line in response to his invitation to attend multiple meetings with business contacts." Across the many messages, Ruemmler emerges as a confidant and advocate for Epstein, at times helping him manage his public reputation following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Epstein's estate is fighting to keep hundreds of additional emails between Ruemmler and Epstein private, arguing that they are protected by attorney-client privilege. The privilege log shows that Ruemmler continued to communicate with Epstein through at least June 2019 and suggests she was more involved with Epstein's legal affairs than previously known. In a statement to CNN, Ruemmler referred to Epstein as a "business referral source" when she was at the law firm Latham & Watkins and that she knew him in a "professional capacity" when she served as head of the white collar defense group at the firm. But she said she "did not represent him and was not compensated by him."
I assume this is the statement she drafted for her "friend" the pedophile sex trafficker.
CNN sent a series of questions to Ruemmler and Goldman Sachs prior to publication. Ruemmler provided answers to several of them, but others she declined to directly answer -- including whether she was involved with drafting a public relations statement for Epstein or took part in discussions to help him respond to media inquiries about his sexual abuse.
In 2019, as major outlets reexamined Epstein's long history of sexually abusing minors, he invoked her advice directly. In a text message from that year, Epstein said Ruemmler helped him craft a public-relations statement in response to a forthcoming Washington Post editorial calling for Congress to investigate him. At 4 a.m. on March 7, 2019, Epstein texted a draft statement to a contact redacted by House investigators, calling it a "Ruemmler proposal" and writing, "this is what Kathy suggests we tell Waco," correcting the typo seconds later to "Wapo." The statement -- which Epstein said Ruemmler provided -- rejected claims he received a "sweetheart deal" in his 2008 conviction and argued prosecutors had pursued him too aggressively. "The criticism is wrong and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of both [the] facts underlying Mr. Epstein's case and how it was prosecuted by both local and federal authorities. Far from a receiving a sweetheart deal, Mr. Epstein was subjected to a lengthy, aggressive, and highly unusual federal investigation for what were, in essence, local offenses of sexual solicitation. He accepted responsibility, served time and prison, and paid significant monetary settlements to the victims involved," said the statement.While Jeffrey Epstein's other "friends" have paid a price, this Democrat woman -- no privilege here! -- continues working for Goldman Sachs.
Obviously no lawyer is actually worth $22.5 million per year. She's being paid for political influence. She's a fixer. She knows what officials to call when you need a favor or you're in a jam. That's why she was "friends" with Jeffrey Epstein. And I do not believe that her "friendship" was uncompensated. I think, based on this revelation, that The Walls Are Really Closing In on Trump now.
But Ruemmler has managed to fly under the radar despite working as the top lawyer for one of the world's largest banks, where she made $22.5 million last year.

I mean $22.5 million a year as a CONTRACT to a historic legal team already raises an eyebrow. But $22.5 million to a singular person sets off alarm bells and whistles. When "little people" (and not so little people) wonder aloud about the integrity of free enterprise, its cases like this that cause the doubt. Because I guarantee you this bitch isn't worth $22.5 million to her employer as an attorney.

There is NO history of marriage or children, or if she's a lesbo (Hillary liked her, so possible). One goofy AI source said she was married to Bob Bauer, which is apparently bullsharte.
She's 71yrs old, not hideous looking in the way of Rosa, so you'd THINK there would be a history of something other than her vast legal career (I like to say vast whenever Hag Hil is on my mind).
Did she get her kicks on Route 66? She denies going to Pedo Island, but a flight took her there.

That was bad enough but they further spit in the face of every law abiding citizen and released him after only 9 years. He was out for only a short time before being arrested this week for violating parole .
Mean while the Oklahoma pharmacist who shot an armed robber and then shot him again when he still thought he could be a danger is still serving a life sentence. And Chavin has another 15 years to serve before parole consideration and the Somali cop ,Noor who shot the unarmed white lady for no reason is free as a bird after serving only 3 years.

Prior to the Cold War, relations between the US and Russia were quite cordial. Obviously the Alaska purchase helped, but at a low point in the Civil War Russia sent a fleet to visit New York. It was a move to piss on the British, but it was also one of the few European powers to not have a serious hard-on for Confederate slave cotton.

That's about an exoplanet, TOI-270 d. It's a planet about 70-ish ly away orbiting a red dwarf. It's looking like this is what was recently dubbed a "hycean" (hydrogen + ocean) planet. Heavy H2 atmosphere, but with a liquid water ocean underneath.
These could be good candidates for life.

Lowly District Judge Orders "Maryland Man" and Human Trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia Released from Custody
The judge was appointed by Obama. Weird how the media never points that out. They only note which judges were appointed by Republicans.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued the order, granting Abrego Garcia's petition for relief. "Since Abrego Garcia's return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority. For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia's Petition for immediate release from ICE custody," Xinis wrote. ... Federal law enforcement have floated deporting him to an alternate destination, though they have struggled to secure the judicial go-ahead. "Maryland Obama Judge Panagiota (Paula) Xinis is a lawless and dangerous radical," Article3Projecte found Mike Davis posted on X. She just illegally ordered the release of "Saint" Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS13 terrorist and the Democrat patron saint of wife-beating and human trafficking."

President Trump revealed Wednesday afternoon that U.S. authorities intercepted a Cuba-bound oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast, a dramatic move aimed at tightening the squeeze on illicit oil networks operating throughout the region. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump described the vessel as "a very large tanker -- the largest one ever seized in action," hinting that more developments are coming. He declined to get into specifics, saying only that the operation happened "for a very good reason." When asked about the tanker's crude, Trump didn't overcomplicate it. "Well, we keep it, I guess," he said. According to a U.S. official familiar with the operation, the seizure was executed by the Coast Guard with support from the U.S. Navy after a federal judge green-lit the warrant roughly two weeks ago. Another official told the New York Times the ship -- identified as the Skipper -- had been sailing under a falsified flag and has a documented history of trafficking illicit Iranian oil. The vessel, although carrying Venezuelan crude at the time, was seized because of those Iranian smuggling ties, not because of any direct connection to Nicolás Maduro's regime. Vanguard, a UK-based maritime risk firm, confirmed Wednesday that the Skipper fits the profile of a tanker previously sanctioned by the United States for operating under the alias Adisa while moving banned Iranian oil. A source speaking to Politico said the ship was on its way to Cuba, where state-run Cubametales intended to flip the cargo to Asian brokers -- an increasingly common workaround as U.S. sanctions isolate both Havana and Caracas from traditional buyers. With most Venezuelan product now flowing to China under the sanctions regime, oil traders began recalibrating almost immediately after the news broke. Prices ticked upward modestly as markets waited to learn whether any Venezuelan crude was on board and how much would be effectively taken off the table.
Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.

These are new, aluminum hulled boats with brand-new high-power quad mercury outboards, moving at 40 knots in international waters, between Venezuela and points north. They are being intercepted > 200 miles off the coast of Venezuela. Thinking for one second they are "fishing" boats is insane.
Venezuela is dirt poor - fishermen cannot afford these boats. The fuel alone to run at that speed...no amount of fishing in a small boat like that could ever pay for the gas, motors, or boat.

Not nearly enough to reach US waters from Venezuela. Certainly not out on the open ocean... I doubt they're built for that unless it's unusually calm. And the range... is beyond their onboard ability.
So.... I think they run up the Central American coast and jet into Mexico to off load. The drugs are then transported overland into the US.

He is now free.

He will stay free and he will shuttled all over the US as the face of the wronged.
All because Bindi couldn't take the heat from the press of "wrongfully deported."

The fuel consumption of outboard engines can vary, but a typical large outboard engine might burn around 15 to 25 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle, depending on its horsepower and efficiency. For five big outboard engines, you could estimate a total fuel burn of approximately 75 to 125 gallons per hour.

400 miles at 45mph = 8hr 45minutes 8.75
8.75hrs X 125 gallons per hour = 1111.11 gallons
I don't think those boats have room for that much fuel.

But so far, the whole thing has been pretty damned embarrassingly incompetent.
Especially that not one thing they promised would happen, has.
The DOJ had one win in all this: SCOTUS said the courts couldn't force the Executive to conduct foreign policy and return him.
And they threw that away for ... nothing.

According to Grok, these "go-fast" boats make short dashes to islands like Trinidad and Tobago, and then offload the cargo to other ships and aircraft, refuel then head back.
The routes they use are constantly changing, and all that. But these short go-fast trips can be very profitable.

Apparently, a typical run for these go-fast boats (that's what they call them) is under 200 nm. The run to Trinidad takes up to an hour, about 50 nm path max.
That's the most common run. Next up is to Aruba or Curaco, around 120 nm max, 2 hour max.
Sometimes, they try a long run to the Dominican Republic, up to 600 nm, taking maybe 12 hours, but that's risky. Grok says the fuel tanks are 400-800 gallons, and they'll carry extra fuel in drums for any longer run attempts. The faster they go the more fuel they'll burn, and the more extra fuel, the less drugs they can carry.

Tom Homan: You Better Believe We're Investigating Ilhan Omar for Immigration Fraud
She is here illegally. Deport her.
The following has been credibly alleged and supported with evidence: Ilhan "Omar" Nur committed immigration fraud twice. The second time was when she married her own brother -- while already married to her real husband -- to get her gay brother permanent residence in the US.
Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's border czar, said during a Newsmax appearance on Monday that the administration is investigating Representative Ilhan Omar for alleged immigration fraud. "I just got advised by a fraud investigator the other day on that. I asked the question, can we review the files? You know, there was immigration fraud involved," Homan said on Newsmax. "The statute of limitation became an issue in the last four years when this was first brought up." He continued, "Pulling the records now, pulling the files, and we're looking at it. But this fraud investigator, who I know personally, one of the best fraud investigators in HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, said there's no doubt he'd review the file. So, I'm running that down this week as a matter of fact, and we'll see."
The first time was when she first came over. The patriarch of the Omar family had refugee status for his family. But Ilhan was not his daughter -- she is the daughter of a man named Nur, who she repeatedly called her "father" before people noticed her calling this man Nur "father" instead of her supposed father Omar. (She would later claim that it's a custom in her particular village in Somalia to call people who aren't your father "father" out of respect. No one else has ever heard of this "custom.") She pretended to be part of the Omar family when she came over. But she wasn't. She's part of the Nur family, and never had legal permission to come.

I knew the testing was all theater early on. At my work we were supposed to be tested at random. So I went twice. The second time they left me on my own to take my nose sample. I simply put the q-tip into the jar without probing my proboscis.
Result: Negative. Not "We did not have material for a sample; please come in again." Just "negative."
I stopped going, and there were never any repercussions. There was no enforcement. They just expected us to comply like good little workers.

>>Ilhan "Omar" Nur committed immigration fraud twice.
She pretended to be part of the Omar family when she came over. But she wasn't.
---------------
Omar isn't even her name. That lie alone is enough to invalidate her citizenship.
Posted by: toby928(c)
================
These are the points that everyone seems to be missing right now. The brusband is overshadowing Ilhan's false identity crime, as people seem to think she married her brother so SHE could come to the US instead of vice versa. (Trump contributed to the confusion on this.)
Very few people seem to be aware as of yet that she isn't an Omar; she's a Nur. Ilhan herself is running around like a dervish fighting the brusband story and I think it's to keep people focused on that so they don't learn about that she's actually Ilhan Nur, not Ilhan Omar.

Illhan and her brother need to be publicly brought forward and proven that they committed immigration fraud. Provide all the evidence, get DNA testing and confirm it. Then they need to be publicly dropped off back in Somalia with bags of their own money strapped to them.

As I understand it, she got suddenly rich when she married that white American. He's the one with the money. If she (please God) got deported it would be very interesting to see if Mr. 'Til Death Do Us Part goes with her or even stays married. Failing deportation (see handle), would he stay with her if she got some sort of legal handling that got her kicked out of Congress?

The Atlantic Admits That the 100% Safe Covid Vaccine Killed Children (But Finds Room to Attack Vaccine Skeptics Anyway)
Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic takes a "pox on both their houses" position on the covid vaccines: The "health authorities" and their I-Believe-In-Science allies are criticized for denying the undeniable, that the covid vaccines did cause myocarditis and death in children, particularly young boys.
But the article of course also criticizes those who correctly and honestly pointed out that the vaccine was dangerous for children, particularly young boys, because... well, because they're On the Other Side and it's very gauche of them to be right about The Science. David Strom excerpted this yesterday.On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Vinay Prasad, the FDA's top vaccine regulator, made a claim that shocked the public-health establishment. "For the first time," he wrote in a leaked email to his staff, "the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children." The agency had supposedly identified at least 10 children who died from getting COVID shots. ... To say the email was poorly received by vaccine experts and physicians would be an understatement. Prasad's claim provoked a rapid series of rebuttals. A response from 12 former FDA commissioners, published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, called Prasad's memo "a threat to evidence-based vaccine policy and public health security." All of the potential vaccine-related deaths reported to the government, presumably including those to which Prasad referred, had already been reviewed by the agency's staff, the former commissioners wrote, and "different conclusions" had been reached. Elsewhere, doctors and scientists declared that absolutely no evidence links COVID-19 vaccines to death in children; and that in order to suggest otherwise, Prasad and his colleagues had engaged in an "evidence-manufacturing mission," a "dumpster dive" for shoddy data, or--worse--a campaign of lying. ...there's something troubling--and telling--in the fact that his memo has provoked people to deny even the possibility of COVID-vaccine-related deaths. The idea that mRNA-based shots have, tragically, killed a very small number of children is not far-fetched. It also doesn't imply a catastrophic threat to public health, given that tens of millions of doses of these vaccines have safely been given out to young people. From the start of the coronavirus pandemic, lack of nuance has been a problem with public-health messaging--one that anti-vaccine advocates have made use of to great effect. Now, in a moment when public health in America is under existential threat, this insistence that no evidence exists for vaccine-related deaths risks adding to the crisis.But children did not need the "vaccines," meaning that the risks of mandating it to them -- and the deaths that then occurred -- were absolutely unnecessary.
No public-health authorities deny that COVID shots can have some ill effects. Adverse reactions are possible with all medical interventions. The mRNA-based vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, in particular, are known to cause myocarditis--inflammation of the heart--on rare occasions, especially in teenage boys and young men. The form of myocarditis that occurs after vaccination is typically far less severe than the one caused by viruses; for unclear reasons, mRNA-related cases have largely disappeared in recent years. But this condition can be deadly, and considering the hundreds of millions of mRNA doses that have been administered to Americans, even extraordinarily unlikely outcomes may well be inevitable.He doesn't want to lose his Leftwing Pinhead Membership Card, so he now pivots to attacking those who correctly said that children do not need the vaccine and in fact seem to be harmed by it:
Strom points out that this joker believes that RFKJr. is an "existential threat" to public health. Not the people who mandated that children take a vaccine that they did not need and which actually murdered a couple dozen of them, but the guy saying "Let's review the necessity and efficacy and safety of vaccines." Strom mentions that once upon a time, he assumed the best of public health officials. Not any longer, of course. I've written about this, but I'll mention it again: My own realization that public health officials consider it a badge of honor to blatantly lie to the pubic about public health -- to convince the uneducated to do what the educated want them to do, through any means necessary, including public disinformation campaigns -- came when I saw CNN's health correspondent Sanjay Gupta interview Obama's head of the CDC during the ebola outbreak. During that outbreak, "The experts" decided to downplay the risk of the disease, instead of being hyper-alarmist. They did so because Obama had decided that the First Black President must never impose a temporary travel ban to any African country, even one in the midst of an ebola outbreak. So the marching orders went out to public health officials to convince the Uneducated Bigots of America that ebola was no big deal, really, You Racists. Obama's CDC director claimed that ebola wasn't a danger for spreading because it could not be spread by "airborne transmission" but only by "direct contact." He said this specifically to allay fears of people on planes, trains, and buses that they could catch ebola from a fellow passenger. Gupta asked, "So there's no risk if someone with ebola sneezes on another passenger? " Obama's lying CDC directed reiterated that "ebola cannot be spread by airborne transmission," asserting that this statement answered the question. But it didn't. Because we later learned that "airborne transmission" refers to disease-carrying bodies remaining in the air for hours and hours after the infected person has left the room. It refers to particles so light that they just "bounce" up and down in the air and don't sink to the ground for days. But a sneeze is not considered "airborne transmission," even though it sounds like it should be, and even though Obama's CDC director insinuated that a sneeze would be a case of airborne transmission and ebola could not be spread by airborne transmission. No, Gupta later told viewers in an update: A sneeze is considered direct contact with the infected person -- the spittle passes directly from them to anyone hit by the spray -- so yes, ebola is easily spread by a sneeze. And Obama's CDC director knew this, but he wanted to lie to the public, per Obama's wish to downplay the outbreak, so he told the world that ebola could not be passed via a sneeze. It was a straight up lie. But he told it because the "experts" had decided that the value of keeping travel open to Africa outweighed Racist Americans' bigoted ideas about ebola being a killer disease that could literally liquify your internal organs, so "The Science" was changed to convince people of the political decision the "experts" had decided was best for them. Earlier this year I started watching House, MD. The main character is an arrogant sociopath who routinely lies to patients about the risks or benefits of a course of treatment. He justifies this by noting that he went to medical school whereas most patients did not, and so he knows the right course of action and they simply don't. When told that this violates the law of informed consent, he snaps back that informed consent is a lie because informed consent is impossible for non-experts. So might as well lie to them or trick them into doing "the right thing," at least according to "the experts." I mention that, of course, because it's not just a trait given to a fictional character on a TV show. There are a lot of people in medicine and particularly in the highly political field of government "public health" who share House's view on the impossibility of true informed consent and therefore the justification for simply lying to people to get them to do the "right" thing. If you meet with a doctor, you're the client. But you are not the client of "public health officials." The government, specifically the President or the state governor, is their client. That's the person they are working for. You are just the rubes they're hustling to sell a product to.
The possibility--perhaps the likelihood--that a handful of vaccine-related deaths occurred and were downplayed by medical authorities does not undermine the fact that COVID vaccination, on the whole, has prevented death on a massive scale. Nor does it justify sweeping changes to vaccine regulations. Rather, it suggests the need for some targeted reforms, such as improvements to the country's vaccine-adverse-event reporting system--and also tells us that a strategy of minimizing tragic outcomes, however rare, may not be the best way to protect a vital instrument of public health.

One of the core things about the modern bureaucracy is there is never to be punishment for failure to achieve whatever the supposed goal of the bureaucracy is.
So pointing out that the NIH, CDC, and FDA all completely failed at COVID and expecting consequences is...wrong. In the old days of course the leadership of each would be fired and maybe proscuted.
But the only area the permanent bureaucracy wants consequences for is if people demand accountability like RFK is doing.

Mine was when Fauci and the gang decided to announce that a huge wave of heterosexual AIDS was about to sweep the country, to avoid "stigmatizing" homosexuals and injectable drug users, who constituted almost all the actual AIDS cases.
At a time when most AIDS cases were occurring in a couple of dozen urban neighborhoods with large quantities of homosexuals and IV drug users, instead of focusing on those neighborhoods, the Federal government was spending hundreds of millions of dollars telling normal high school students that they were at high risk of contracting AIDS.

Fauci defunded and marginalized the big names that opposed him out of the gate. Most of the rest of the establishment noted that and either shut up or started helping him.
We note for many cops the job is "come home safely until I can get retirement" well the same is true for most government scientists and pretty much all government bureaucrats.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” -CS Lewis

(I joke about toenails, but car accidents is a tell.)
The study is held as defnitive proof, but let me quickly show the flaw. The study looks at the entire French population and then separates out those who got a vaccine and those who didn't.
But it uses interaction with health care system as the mechanism to ID those cohorts. See the problem? The vaccinated group all went to Dr. to get vaccine, the unvaccinated group only count if they ... were sick and went to the Dr.
Anyway, let me get that out there if anyone is interested.

But no worries, because the tradeoff was worth it. The graphic compared the chance of death from COVID (possibly adverse reactions, but I’m pretty sure it was death) with the chance of catching COVID, and there was no contest. The chance of catching COVID swamped the chance of death from the vaccine.
Which leads me to suspect that the chance of death from the vaccine swamps the chance of death from catching COVID.

It killed/injured a number of people, but it wasn't obvious at first because no one was collecting this type of data.
60 Minutes of all shows did an investigation and it turned out the FDA had ignored test data and then intentionally didn't follow up on investigating as they should have. Hell they had a letter from one employee to his boss saying they needed to get this shot off the market and when they presented it to the boss he claimed he never got the letter...
This scandal led to VARS since they needed a single entry point for this sort of data to be able to find bad vaccines in the future.
And of course as we know the clot shot ended up having more entries in VARS then all other vaccines over VARS's 30 year history by a factor of more then 1000.

This is another game the left plays. If you show the data that the clot shot had *no* reduction in your risk of getting COVID they'll tell you no one ever claimed that it did (yeah ignore Biden saying it on national TV and using it as grounds for his mandates). But then later they'll note that if you don't get your shot you are putting grandma at risk...

"But COVID's worse," he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said."
But this Dr. clearly failed statistics. The "COVID" cohort here are people who presented at hospital. That is maybe 1% of covid actual cases. So 1/1000 who have covid (by his numbers) have myocarditis. But 1/10 of vaccinated do (his number - "10x worse")
So it appears "Covid's much worse," in reality, the vaccine is a killer. He is looking at the data and LYING.

Knowing that DC was working behind the scenes to recruit BLM as riot army should Trump win in 2020, I can conceive that we might not have seen "actually masks work!" or possibly even the shutdown.
It was mid-2020 when social media started banning people who questioned the legitimacy of mail-in balloting. Even though mass mail-in balloting was not something that was tried and true, and has always had mainline skeptics.
I entertain that the powers that be turned America upside down--creating the closest thing to fascism America has ever seen--to fix the 2020 election.

The Scotus decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) by a rather progressive court full of undistinguished corporate lawyers (decided the same year as Lochner) said it was perfectly fine for the State of Mass to order compulsory vaccinations on the explicit idea that the needs of the many outweighed the rights of the individual.
This is despite the fact that Jacobson could demonstrate past bad reactions to the smallpox vaccine as a child in Sweden and he had already been vaccinated against smallpox.
Bad bloviating by progressive justices indicate Jacobson should trust the experts based on experiences in foreign countries.

Apparently, the technicality is that the DOJ didn't produce an order of removal.
However, Garcia's lawyers admitted, in early discussions in the court, that Garcia was under an order of removal.
So, factual assertion that the defense had admitted to the judge is throwing as not established. Which means...appeal and stay and remand (no...the higher courts are not going to remove Xinis, unfortunately).

Trump was naive, but well intentioned. He never called for a national shut-down: that was due to state and community leaders. The mandatory “vaccination” occurred under Biden not Trump. It was not required in my state, and I worked for the state: I never took it. The MRNA based “vaccine” should be outlawed. Some countries are moving in that direction. That is one thing I will hold against Trump. He doesn’t want to admit how badly he was fooled. Let’s hope that once burnt, twice shy applies here. I know I will never blindly accept vaccination again, but will research what it is first. Basically do not accept any MRNA-based shot.

The actual effectiveness of the flu vaccine is pretty low.
Even if they pick the correct variant coming out of China it will have mutated significantly by the time it gets to you.
The real answer here would be to blockade China or at least force them to change their farming habits but...that's not going to happen

I had that problem a lot during Covid, as I am slightly deaf (though my wife might say more than "slightly"). I had to go to a FedEx office and there was this girl behind the counter, from which I had to stand six feet away, of course. The girl was a soft speaker anyway, but with the face diaper on I couldn't hear a word she was saying. Finally, I just marched up to the counter, and told her I couldn't hear her. That was the only way I was able to hear her and get done what I was there to do.

My understanding is that it provided little to no actual resistance to COVID as the disease mutates too quickly for a standard vaccine to work and China *knew* this when they mandated domestically.
But they apparently felt a placebo was a better choice then the clot shot.

Depends on state laws in many cases. Public Health is a police power of state governments under the 10th Amendment. But overlaid is the complex regulations of Federal grant and health care programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare among others.
The whole edifice of mandatory vaccinations rests on the very old Jacobson v. Mass case of 1905 where an individual challenged Mass law that ignored the rights of individuals altogether to avoid the vaccination but fined non-compliers with a $5 penalty. Jacobson sued alleging violations of his federally protected civil rights because he had been vaccinated as a child for smallpox in Sweden and sustained a vaccination injury. His argument thus that he was exempt from Mass law because of prior vaccination and individual heightened risk from a new one was brushed aside by the Mass Sup. Ct.
US Scotus allowed Mass's fine to stand based on its perverted trust in experts and authority.

The scales fell from my eyes, when public health officials started diving into gun control and other issues as "health" issues.
Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at December 11, 2025 04:10 PM (gDhA9)
Getting the "vaccines" mandated for children WAS absolutely necessary for the Deep State, because then the "vaccine" is no longer under only Emergency Use Authorization. If I remember correctly, vaccine companies could be sued for health issues and deaths if the "vaccine" remained on the EUA.
But once the "vaccine" was mandated for children, it was no longer under EUA and no one could sue for any harm or death that came from the "vaccine". There was complete immunity for the government and the drug companies.
That was the entire reason the Deep State pushed for mandating it for children who didn't need it... to prevent lawsuits for all the harm and death it caused.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 11, 2025 04:16 PM (wzUl9)
Thalidomide wasn't approved here. Someone at the FDA whose name escapes stopped it, as there wasn't enough safety data. That spared us compared to Europe and others. It was given here, I think, but not as much as it would've been if the FDA at the time approved it.

Not only did masking not work during the Spanish Flu, Fauci himself wrote a paper which essentially stated that more people died of bacterial pneumonia caused from wearing masks and spreading bacteria than people died of Spanish Flu.
So Fauci knew this from his own research and still pushed mask-wearing. It was an op. A WEF and Deep State op. From the beginning.

Unless you're born into a crack den, you most likely don't need it. But doctors don't want to have that conversation, so they mandate EVERYONE have it. If you try to opt out, they will do their damndest to FORCE it on you. You might even have to deal with a CPS investigation.

Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies.
A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”

What it comes down to is NOT about premature deaths or immune system compromise or even dead kids. It comes down to the self-proclaimed educated make the wrong call, and compromising their own health in the process by taking their own advice and shooting up the clot shot...AND noticing all those great unwashed rubes were better prepared and smarter than they were throughout the conceived crisis.
They hate those who didn't fall for the "vaccine" hype. Because they wish they had done the same. All this chattering (like in this article) is an attempt at rationalizing their stupidity.

If a traditional vaccine, yes. It is not a true sterilizing vaccine like smallpox (permanent or very long protection) because he flu, cold, and now covid viruses change so much each year through mutations that you might get a case but a milder version of it.

Because some doctors have a practic3 where they will see you in the hospital, but also in the office as your primary care doc. Hospitalists only practice in the hospital. They do not become your primary doctor after you are discharged. Also hospitalists are typically employees of the hospital. Not in private practice. At least in the midwest.

#9: THE VACCINES DO NOT STOP TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION
Wait, what? Aren't these vaccines supposed to be what we've been waiting for to "go back to normal"? Nope.
Why do you think we're getting all these conflicting messages about needing to practice social distancing and wear masks AFTER we get a vaccine?
The reason is because these vaccines were never designed to stop transmission OR infection.
If you don't believe me, I refer you again to the papers submitted to the FDA I linked to above.
The primary endpoint (what the vaccines are meant to accomplish) is to lower your symptoms.
Sounds like just about every other drug on the market right?
That's it... lowering your symptoms is the big payoff we've been waiting for.
Does that seem completely pointless to anyone but me?

(1) "handful" of "vaccine"-related deaths? Handful is 5. There have been a LOT more than 5 "vaccine"-related deaths.
(2) It is not a "fact" that the "vaccine" prevented any deaths whatsoever. Considering it did not prevent transmission nor spread of the virus. However, it is an actual fact that the "vaccine" caused harm and death on a large scale.

I knew the testing was all theater early on. We were supposed to be tested at random. So I went twice. The second time they left me on my own to take my nose sample. I simply put the q-tip into the jar without probing my proboscis.
Result: Negative. Not "We did not have material for a sample; please come in again." Just "negative."
I stopped going, and there were never any repercussions. There was no enforcement. They just expected us to comply like good little workers.

People don't realize the historical, independent mindset of doctors. That's why they called it a practice. It was like a fighter pilot; they received the training then it was their judgement, their call on what it was and how to treat it. It was work in the safe zone.

I think the reason they killed off the J&J vaccine was not really because of the adverse events. It was the one-dose nature of it, making it impossible to hide the adverse events. When people had adverse events from the J&J vax, nobody could use the rhetorical cover they used with the other two-dose vaccines. That cover being that you are not considered "vaccinated" after one dose.
Therefore, "you are not having a reaction to the shot we just fucking gave you, because you haven't been vaccinated yet."
I can't believe the straightfaced cons they pulled.
And no one will be punished. Because culpability is spread all over our society from top to bottom. It's like murdering Julius Caesar, if everybody has a knife in their hand, then nobody can be punished.

Marjorie Taylor-Greene Now Pallin' Around With Terrorist-Supporting Chinese-Funded Antiamerica Group Code Pink
The founder of the left-wing Code Pink organization, Medea Benjamin, hailed outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Wednesday, saying she will "miss" her support for peace. Many on social media expressed shock and criticism at the odd pairing, while some observers mentioned "horseshoe theory" -- the idea that the extremes on the right and left have more in common with each other than with moderates. "We visited Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene today to thank her for becoming such a strong anti war voice in congress and tell her we will miss her," Benjamin wrote in a statement on X. Greene faced heavy backlash for the meeting from conservative commentators who argued it was a betrayal of values. ... Greene herself explained the meeting in a statement on social media, saying he was committed to her anti-war stance. ... "I've learned to find bridges with others and that's how we all win and ultimately leads to peace," she added.I noticed a while ago that some people on the "right" -- the psuedoright, I call it -- seemed to be so happy to finally be able to be frenz with left-wingers that they rushed to adopt their positions. I remember being glad myself that some far-left people like Jimmy Dore seemed kind of based on a lot of issues, like covid vaccinations and Russiagate. It felt good to end the long political war with at least some members of the left. But then I noticed that people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly weren't just happy to hear Glenn Greenwald and Anna Kasparian agreeing with some rightist positions. They decided to return the favor and begin endorsing some extremist left-wing opinions themselves, like blaming Israel for Hamas' 10/7 massacre and generally adopting the Islamofascist talking point that Islam is a religion of peace and the only group making trouble between Christians and Muslims are, get this, The Jews. Glenn Greenwald is apparently so charismatic that he honeytrapped Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. He honeydicked them. They've literally all adopted the exact positions held by the far left a year after 9/11. Except they don't just Blame America First, they Blame Israel First, and Blame America Second. Other than that: Identical. In their rush to oppose every part of neoconservativism, they've now made themselves enemies of foundational basic conservatism as well. This isn't the far right, it's the far left.

He also makes a good case that Tucker is by far the most dangerous, because he's an intelligent man, not a hormonally driven radical chatty Kathy like MTG.
"Tucker regularly uses his platform now to promote absolutist governments and has taken to praising Sharia law. He seems enamored with people like Andrew Tate, who himself converted to Islam at least partly based on his contempt for women, and of course, he gives much more favorable treatment to Nick Fuentes, who loves Stalin and Hitler, than to Ted Cruz, whom he hates with a passion. Fuentes, too, is on a Jihad against women and argues that Islam is right about women. "
Tucker is no longer "America First" - he is Qatar First. He is now actively trying to tear down everything Trump is trying to do, from the inside. I mark him as one of the most dangerous men to America alive today

When Putin's oligarchs advertised on Facebook for Trump and against Clinton, this wasn't just because they were really, really righteous Christians and patriots. They wanted to get someone like Tucker Carlson.
Of course they are unhappy with Trump. Trump is making the US stronger, not weaker, and is still involved abroad, now also with Venezuela. This bodes badly for Putin and the Chinese communists' goals.

3. The will never allow it to reflect the truth because if it did, the entire world of lies would collapse.

But back to Boebert one thing I would caution here though in all seriousness, people do all sorts of dumb, silly things. If you demand that Republican officeholders can never do that you are going to end up with very few Republican office holders.

Someone can be homely as hell, but still be beautiful. It comes from inside, not outside. You can read crazy on faces, you can likewise read debauchery, and all the other outrageous life behaviors on many faces.
Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.

Exactly. They reject basic conservatism, and it contorts them to hear "Judeo-Christian" , because of the Judeo portion. So they go en masse against Evangelicals, lose their collective shite over "Christian Zionism", and I guess Dispensationalism, because they were raised to believe by their filthy, backward parents and grandparents that the Church erased and replaced the Jews and their Covenant with God. Total heresy, rejected by the Catholic church even, but preached in some quarters by "the enemy".

This is where the Somali fraud stands out -- it was allowed and ignored because everyone in power has a grift, and this was just theirs. Omar went from debt to $30 million in 4 years thanks to that.
So people like MTG and Tucker, they see the grift and they don't think "this is bad, I am going to be different," they see it and think "Where can I get some of that?"
The answer for them was Qatar and China. Big deal they are now traitors -- everyone in DC is. They stay up nights thinking about other people getting rich, they don't have to to think of patriotism or the future of our society.

It sucks to always have to choose the lesser of two evils but voting for greater evil is not an option.
Those that advocate burning it all down so that things can be built up again seem to forget the one tiny little thing--there is no guarantee that any future government will be better that the current regime. In history, most are usually worse until you get back some facsimile of the old regime or you go through three generations of misery in order for the new awful regime to collapse.

It's become clear to me that this whole Fuentes/Jew-hate thing is an op. And Tucker and his bunch are part of it. Are they willing, or just honeydicked dupes, I don't know.
I'm just trying to figure out who is behind this op. Islam/Qatar obviously, splintering American right support for Israel would be right in their interests of course, but it's more than that. I think the Chicoms are behind a lot of this shit as well. It's all about subverting MAGA/Trump and reassertion of US dominance and all that.
And the Deep State is in on that as well. This is a complicated business. But it's very clever and dangerous.

The TPUSA thing reminds me of the Project Veritas saga from a few years ago. Veritas was very effective - too effective - so it had to be destroyed, mostly from within. James O'Keefe wasn't murdered, but his character was certainly assassinated. Looking back, those may have been the more civil times.

I think these dickface fucknuggets were always left or at least left-adjacent. It's just that earlier in their "careers," they found less competition in more right-leaning spheres. So they hid or obscured their true lefty aspirations in order to cater to this audience.
But then, once they've "made it" they no longer feel the need to fake it anymore. They thus drift to the natural place they always wanted to be: left.
This is doubly true when it comes to Israel and DA JOOZ. For a long time, even most lefty Democraps supported (or at least claimed to support) Israel and the Jew's right to exist. Certainly the psuedoright did.
But in the last few years, there was such an explosion of outspoken Jew-hate that it was no longer necessary to play the game. They didn't have to hide their hate any more.

Several prominent conservatives have turned on a dime. It happens, probably grifters. But hear me out. Michelle Malkin was once very influential, then her cousin disappears. Not long after Michelle steps out of the picture. Brian Kemp's daughter's boyfriend dies in fiery crash, Kemp does 180 on election audit. Maybe for Tucker it is Qatar money, MTG and Owens, maybe something else. Maybe grift, maybe messages are being sent and they could step out of the picture, or get paid from a different source. Tim Pool gets shots fired on his property the other day. Someone shot at Trump and no one knows anything about him except some sketchy details.
Carry on.

Strom nearly hits the target but at the back of all of this is a stark truth.
The elites in the West have given up on popular democracy and that means they are willing to consider moving to authoritarianism whether Muslim state-religion, Communism, or Fascism.
Elites positively hate now the assorted regular people of the globe that just want to get on with life, have kids, and not worry so much about the future while clinging to their guns and religion.
Our ruling elites in the West want us citizens either dead, neutered, impoverished, and subservient to their whims. Nasty critters after ultimate power is the only hypotheses explaining the past half century of policy in the West.
Trump, MAGA, and assorted freedom fighters around the world composed of ordinary citizens are in their way for their version of Utopia for them, hell on earth for us.

On the one hand, the MAGA coalition is a big tent of American nationalists, which includes a lot of cultural leftists, from (merely anti-woke) secular tech bros to the "crunchy moms" of MAHA, so leftism by itself isn't a disqualifier. On the other hand, there is actual inconsistency out there, as supposedly conservative NeverTrumpers now reliably spout Democrat talking points, and apparent pan-nationalists make a singular exception for Zionism as the one kind of nationalism they cannot express brotherly respect for.
As Pixy Misa reminds us, the LLMs of GenAI are just a fancy auto-complete. But I would go further and say that even if a century from now we got synthetic cognition, we can never offload our thinking and judgement to it, because it can never be sure who to trust either, because that's the hardest puzzle to solve, because it's an opposed task. Every heuristic you can come up with will immediately be life-hacked by con artists to cheat you.

His comments were abridged and made to seem to be comments about black women in general and played on bluesky, twitter, youtube, instagram etc. Thus there are a lot of people who have only heard those edited remarks. Mind you, the full remarks are blistering towards the individuals in question. But, he his quoting there public statements back to them and fisking them.... many people who use those sources for information never know the whole story.

That is pretty much not at all true.
The idea of a political spectrum is a vast oversimplification of what large groups of people support (I'm deliberately not using the word "think"). It assumes that the two political parties represent (LOL) large concentrations of opinion or effectively define the endpoints of debate on a particular topic.
In truth, there are a great many axes, one for any significant topic, and only a few of them are getting attention at any particular time. People gravitate towards the group they have most current agreement with, and the weaker minded/less principled ones will adjust their other opinions to fit in. That's all you're seeing in the horseshoe.

MTG is a grifting annoying bulldog whereas Bonnie is just a wide-eyed, sad, petite slut. The difference I think that with MTG, she pretends that she is one thing while grifting for money while Bonnie, never pretends and presents herself as she is for all takers.

Well, I would say Die Hard, but Fatman is certainly a contender.
Miracle on 34th St is always good. The original The Bishop's Wife, if only for the 1947 cutting edge special effects.
As for A Christmas Carol, I'm partial to the vinyl recording by Barrymore. It's available on Youtube. Dad used to play that Christmas Eve and then it was time for kids to go to bed.

I find that VERY hard to forgive.
Trump is not a doctor and is a germophobe. I don’t know what he knew (and neither do you). COVID came out of a PRC bio-weapons lab and might have been much worse. It was NOT an influenza virus, but in retrospect was comparable to a bad, but not very bad, flu epidemic. Think 1968 flu not 1918. The measures taken against it were nonsense and proven not to work by measures taken against the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. Isolation, masking, and distancing were tried then and made no difference. They didn’t work this time either. I think Trump was manipulated by his advisors like Fauci and Birx, but they, Fauci and Birx, were in on the scam. Frankly, I think Trump was too trusting of people like them and got fooled into “solving” the problem with a dubious “vaccine” technology: the MRNA approach. Again I think Trump didn’t know how dangerous that approach is: he just didn’t know and trusted his “experts”.

Trump was naive, but well intentioned. He never called for a national shut-down: that was due to state and community leaders. The mandatory “vaccination” occurred under Biden not Trump. It was not required in my state, and I worked for the state: I never took it. The MRNA based “vaccine” should be outlawed. Some countries are moving in that direction. That is one thing I will hold against Trump. He doesn’t want to admit how badly he was fooled. Let’s hope that once burnt, twice shy applies here. I know I will never blindly accept vaccination again, but will research what it is first. Basically do not accept any MRNA-based shot.

James Comer: We'll Subpoena Tampon Tim Walz to Prove His Involvement In Somali Fraud
Yes. And audit all the finances of his family.
Walz is running for his fourth term as Minnesota governor. I'd like to think that even leftwing Minnesotans have had enough, but we can't forget that left-wing Virginians happily voted for an AG who advocated for killing cops and killing political opponents' wives.
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., says he is willing to subpoena Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor and failed vice-presidential candidate, over a fraud scheme in his state that reportedly saw hundreds of millions of dollars routed through nonprofits to Somali immigrants and others. "If anyone that has received correspondence from us thus far requesting information, if they don't turn over that information, then they will get a subpoena. And we're serious about this. We're not going to back down," Comer warned in an interview with Just the News.
... Comer noted to Just The News that Walz and other Minnesota officials, like Attorney General Keith Ellison, have "hid" as the investigation proceeds. "You know, Walz gets due process, but the way he's handling this, and the way Ellison, the attorney general, has kind of hid right now, makes me pretty confident that there's a massive amount of waste, fraud and abuse that's about to be detected here, and I'm going to predict that Walz's political career is closer to an end than somewhere in the middle."
...Of course, Democrats have a long history of enriching themselves in office:
Comer reiterated that sentiment and suggested this is not an anomaly. "I think what we're going to find in Minnesota is probably happening in many other states. Minnesota could be, and hopefully is, the worst offender, but there are other blue states run by Democratic [Party] governors who refuse to turn over any data, not only to Congress, but to cabinet secretaries like Brooke Rollins who are trying to get a handle on programs like SNAP."
During his tenure, Comer uncovered bank records showing that Hunter Biden received $6.5 million from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, where he served on the board despite lacking expertise, with testimony from Devon Archer revealing that Hunter placed Joe Biden on speakerphone over 20 times with foreign associates to sell the "Biden brand" for influence, and allegations that Joe Biden's push to oust prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2015 aligned suspiciously with Burisma's pressure on Hunter for protection.

Find something Walz doesn't want to talk about but you have proof of even if it isn't in and of itself illegal - like say meeting with the Somalis and then getting a check from them.
Get him to say under oath that it didn't happen.

The problem is that Congress is not law enforcement. It doesn't have that power.
Congress has already done all it can by classifying all this shit as illegal. What are they going to do? Make it double illegal with another law?
Any action has to come from the DOJ, and the DOJ won't say anything in public until they file public affidavits and charging documents against individuals.

Most of the SNAP overspending is already illegal. SNAP isn't supposed to go to non-citizens, and even green card holders can have their immigration statuses revoked if they take welfare.
Immigrants, legal ones, have to have sponsors sign forms saying that the immigrants will not become burdens on the state.
The problem isn't that there aren't laws. The problem is that decades of administrations from city governments to the feds have allowed and fostered illegality.

Towards the final weeks of the General Election, it was discovered that there was a massive amount of fraud going on with donations for the Presidential election. There were fake non-profits popping up and collecting for Harris/Walz (so they said). Many of these were bogus, and just phishing opportunities for fraudsters, to say nothing of people who actually contributed money to these fake non-profits.
It would be HILARIOUS if most of these operations were being orchestrated by Somali immigrants.

I'm going to read Judge Xinis ruling today and then decide whether to write a story. Haven't even looked at the first page yet, but I have one curious observation to the reporting that her decision is based on the Govt failing to produce an actual Order of Removal ---
In the opening of his Complaint which brought the case into her court, Abrego Garcia conceded he's subject to an Order of Removal.
I'm not sure it's proper for her to revisit a factual matter that the opposition conceded at the outset.

An observation from shipwreckedcrew about the Xinis order for Maryland Man.
I suspect appeal, stay, and overturn are happening soon, all while Maryland Man remains behind bars.

You are a stain. A nasty disgusting stain. The kind of stain left on fabric after a woman's tampon fails and she refuses to use peroxide to remove it because she doesn't want to "discolor the fabric" (pro tip the fabric is now discolored anyway). You are the stain left behind when a baby blows out the diaper and gets shit on every stitch of clothing he's wearing (and on whoever is holding him/dealing with the diaper). You are the nasty sweat stain in the armpit region of every shirt you have ever worn. You are ring around the collar.
You are a short, ugly, nasty pile of retarded stains. Go fuck yourself with a rotting coconut and don't forget to light it on fire first.

Trump hates Walz for running against him. This reminds me of ACORN. Bad actors did bad things, they were caught, and the enforcement/oversight mechanism proved to work.
I blame a governor when people under federal immigration laws violate federal laws and defraud federal programs. I am the smartest. /s
I've gone to a couple of events now and heard Walz speak. The man has clarity and integrity.
He doesn't just babble word salad like Trump does.
He knows people, he understands how things work.
He's one of the best governors we've ever had.
I dare you to go and listen to Walz.
Even Walz supporters in the article are dumping in Walz, even when they acknowledge he did nothing wrong! "The buck stops with the governor, I’m sorry it just does,” Reichgott Junge said, adding that while people don’t blame him directly for the fraud, running for a third term is risky.
I don't care if it's Walz or another prominent DFLer, but being upset about this makes y ou are too dumb to breathe.

At some point, the multiplicity of laws and regulations end up with constipation of the legal process. And that leaves out the corruption of the legal processes and judges.
That is one of the signs of a decaying political institutions and culture--the enforcement of the rule of law becomes spotty and mostly directed toward the regime's enemies while excusing its friends.
Enjoyed a couple of your videos on the sequels and Orson Welles. Well done. Minor quibble on Orson Welles episode I saw is that the tinkling piano background music becomes annoying and distracting after a time when you are talking. The sequels episode used music for the visuals better and I noted an absence when you are discussing John Carter and King Arthur.
And like you, I liked Chimes of Midnight as my favorite Orson Welles movie. Although Macbeth and Othello are admirable as well. I even prefer Touch of Evil to Citizen Kane.

I throw music that kind of fits the overall theme just to help paper over cuts in the video and help drown out other dead noise sounds. It's meant to be barely audible.

Mixing audio is a pita when coupled with video editing. Back when I had to do a video series for a grant, I used Audacity as a separate sound editor and mixer and only used my video editing software to set overall sound levels for the segments. The newer video editors are apparently a lot better at audio mixing in house making that step unnecessary.
FWIW, Nice camera angles and visual look atypical of most of the boring sludge you find YT.
You are a natural for the camera and holding engagement for longish video segments and your enthusiasms for movies comes out in your videos.

2- spends taxpayer money to bring them here

4- allows so many Africans into the state, they form one of the largest voting blocks, who incidentally votes to give themselves more money
5- the Africans never assimilate and turn the “community” into what they left; a failed state, rife with fraud, warring with each other for tax money, forcing their backwards religion on everyone, and getting Democrat politicians to dance like retarded, obsequious marionettes on a string

CDC data shows rates increasing from 1 in 36 (2020) to 1 in 31 (2022) children by age 8, with substantial Factors in Diagnosis Rise: While genetics play a role, experts point to better screening, increased awareness, broader diagnostic criteria (like including Asperger's), and improved access to services as key driver.
Studies in the US (Minnesota) and Sweden found ASD rates in Somali children to be substantially higher (e.g., 1 in 32 or 1 in 16) than overall averages.
Somali children with ASD are more likely to have an intellectual disability than children from other backgrounds.
Autistic children can receive government money and financial help through programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides monthly payments if they meet strict medical/financial criteria, and state-run Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, plus other benefits like Medicaid for healthcare, but it depends on the child's specific needs, family income, and state of residence, not just having autism.

Mario Rubio Orders the State Department to Ditch Its Woke... Font
Well if it's woke it's gotta go.
Times New Roman is lean and angular and masculine. Calibri is "plus-sized" and effeminate. It's a Gay Font.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed all diplomats to revert to using the Times New Roman typeface in official communications and criticized his predecessor for shifting to Calibri, a font deemed too woke for the Trump administration. Two years ago, Rubio's predecessor, Antony Blinken, switched to Calibri, a softer, simpler-shaped, and wider font than Times New Roman, in part to assist individuals with certain visual disabilities such as low vision and dyslexia.
"Switching to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department's official correspondence," Rubio wrote in an "action request," obtained by Reuters and the New York Times.
Okay, so this is super-silly, but I'm in a spiteful mood and I don't oppose the instinct to wipe away all vestiges of the old demented Regime, even the trivial ones.
Rubio reportedly dinged the Blinken-era switch to Calibri as "wasteful" and woke in his Dec. 9 cable to personnel. "To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department's written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," Rubio reportedly wrote.

But that's only if Harris feels the need to consolidate factions, which probably won't happen because she'll feel slighted and angry and bitter about everyone. So, she'll follow her own gut and go full black woman rage.

It's there first thing I thought of here in NYC. Just recently they changed the way the subway map looks for "ease of use" (i.e. for complete fucking morons who didn't know the basics of a map) They put new ones up on all the trains and stations. Then a few weeks later they decided they are going to switch 2 trains, for something like 4 stops. Well that means all new signs and probably overtime for those installing them.
All the stupid trivial changes usually come with large costs. And while since of it might be because government is incompetent and never takes cost in to account, it's probably will more likely just another grift.

I generally use Arial in a document. It looks less cluttered in a long read. I use TNR for titles and things if I want to make it stand out. I also use it for email addresses to avoid confusion between '1', 'l', and 'I'. (Some sans serif fonts do not put a little pfft on the 1.)
I've wondered if Calibri was made default in M$ Office because some coder hated his English teacher for catching him cheating to get to the requirement of "a 1 1/2 page essay."

In the 90s in San Jose, CA, they went through a similar "ungendering" exercise. They decided "manhole" was too masculine. So with the flick of a pen (as Kamala liked to say) they decided the new name would be "maintenance hole." The cost of changing legal documents and the actual cast iron covers throughout the city went into the hundreds of $millions.
Because some twat somewhere was offended at "manhole."

Within 2 years of her winning her first House seat, having done nothing other than being loud at committee hearings, she seriously thought she could be Trump's VP for his second term. And then, even though she won her two races below the partisan makeup of her own district (she ran behind a generic Republican, essentially) she wanted to jump into the Senate race and be Trump's preferred candidate, simply because she was loud at committee hearings.
And when Trump didn't give her either of those things, she went all in on leftist meme du jour.
Yes, she's always been a grifter.
Owning a construction company and needing to minimize costs really affected her stance on illegal immigration as soon as immigration raids actually started, too.

One of my jobs in the lan survey department as a CAD tech is to read old survey documents, and much of it before 1910 was handwritten in cursive. Every surveyor had slightly different styles, and some are really hard to decipher, but once you see the pattern, such as how they wrote the letter F, etc. it becomes more clear. And some guys had much better handwriting than others. We've had interns who could not read it at all.

I have not written in long form in so long I think I have forgotten how to write cursive.
The only thing I do in cursive is my signature and THAT has changed demonstrably over the years.
Even had an argument with my companies clearing bank when they would not honor a corporate action we sent in because my signature did not match what was on file. I eventually took a blank sheet of paper and signed my name a bunch of times and sent it to them.
None of the signatures were a match LOL

This part of what is meant by. . .There is only one party, and we arent in it.
The uniparty has an interest in self enrichment. Your average politician shares this value. Thus the average politician has values aligned with the uniparty. When they choose sides, the side they are going to choose is not yours. You can motivate them. Either with the carrot or the stick. But note, they are subject to higher bids or greater threats. The average politician is nothing more than an opportunist.

This thread lead me to discover that MS fonts can be loaded into Libre Office. Caveat, if you really want other systems to render correctly stick with New Times Roman, Ariel, or Calibre.
In other words one has a choice of three fonts if he wants to assure that another system can read them/it.

_________________________________
I think dirt was collected in MTG. Back in August or September she made a speech in Georgia about something unimportant. BUT, she started off the appearance by making some odd statement like, "If they say I committed suicide, I DIDN't commit suicide." And, then just moved forward with the press conference without clarification.
Then, from that point forward she did a full 180 degree turn and became even more unhinged than previously. I think someone has her in a vice, and rather than covertly remain and work against the policy she decided to remove herself from the situation while simultaneously "showing" support for all those things she previously fought against.

The fact that it hasn't tells me that the left does not think it's winning right now, and that it would lose in a standoff that pitted individual states against the federal government.
Walz ordering the arrest of BP agents or ICE agents would be an act of outright insurrection, and Trump would have full authority to arrest most of the MN state government, using the military.
That's well beyond, "We're not telling the feds we have illegal aliens in our jails."

While I see what you are saying (really!), in my mind, there is no difference between using state cops to arrest federal cops for enforcing federal law, and the refusal to cooperate with the Feds by saying “we’re not telling the Feds about illegals in our jails”.

The Morning Rant: Superior American Edition
Here is a typical exchange between the Bien Pensant and a proud American. It is everything you expect!
I have a bit of experience with living in America, and had the opportunity to live in Paris for several months, in an upscale neighborhood far from the crime and the Islamic hordes in the midst of their conquest. And I can tell you unequivocally that life in America is better. Do you know why those hip Parisians shop every day for food on their quaint and lovely streets filled with wonderful food shops? Because their f*cking kitchens are tiny, and their toy refrigerators don't hold enough for more than a day or two of cooking! Do you know why they are...to be polite...rather odoriferous? Because they sweat all the time (remember; no A/C!), their access to clothes washing is problematic, and their bathrooms are a joke, with hand-held showers and poor water pressure. If you want good service in a store or a restaurant, don't bother. That wonderful living wage that they pay waiters translates into disinterested and mediocre service. And in stores? Hah! Good luck. Buying a box of band-aids can take 15 minutes. And their vaunted socialized and "free" medical care is strictly rationed, and only the well-off can get speedy and high-quality care. Or...you know...just fly to America, which many people around the world do, in spite of our health-care issues. Our poor people own cars, and have more freedom than anyone else in the world. But the privilege of paying obscene marginal tax rates so that government can subsidize public transportation is better? I don't think so. Western Europe should pay more attention to its own existential problems, and simply appreciate that America has paid for their defense since World War II. it is disingenuous in the extreme to claim that we do not subsidize Europe...the many trillions of dollars we have spent on NATO, either directly or indirectly, is distinct from any economic benefit that a rebuilt Europe has afforded our economy. Are many parts of Western Europe beautiful? Absolutely! Many of their cities are marvels of architecture and culture, and its physical beauty is often stunning. But it is increasingly becoming a Potemkin Village, as their governments carefully minimize or hide (Rotherham or Malmo anyone?) their massive problems. But the biggest problem by far is Europe's curious disinterest in their own freedom. Speech is carefully controlled by government and compliant corporations, and with that control comes a diminution of the very concept of freedom and liberty. Until that changes, Western Europe will continue down the path toward totalitarianism, either externally applied by Islam, or internally applied by...themselves!X is currently full of Europeans trying to tell Americans how much better life in Europe is.
— Cynical Publius (@CynicalPublius) December 9, 2025
One of the constant refrains is "Our government makes sure we get XX days of vacation yearly."
Euros do not realize that is not the flex they think it is.
To us Americans it reeks of...
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom - go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!-- Samuel Adams [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

Additionally, the "powerhouses" of Europe: Germany, France, UK, are BARELY at the GDP of Mississippi (Germany) or below it (UK, France).
That "indolence" is part of it, but most of it is governmental misrule, which birthed that "indolence" and entitlement.
The Germans that came over here to work are especially hard workers. (Auto Industry).

They have been coasting on the built up physical and cultural capital from their previous, great civilization.
Both physical infrastructure built by great empires and cultural infrastructure, built by Christianity are what created Europe.
But they've been undermining both, either through neglect (physical) or outright hostility (Chrisitanity).
Their leaders are men without chests who think that the Christian ethic they grew up with is the natural state of man. That's why they think importing third world, hostile, musselmen will work.
It is a disaster and it will not get righted with an actual war, for which they have purposely made their military and people wholly unprepared.

The vast majority of Western Europeans cannot conceive of a standard of living on par with ours.
The apartment in which we lived was in an upscale neighborhood, and quite large for Paris (1,600 square feet), but was laid out with the assumption that appliances were tiny, energy was expensive, and A/C was nonexistent.
The building itself was laid out for maximum inconvenience too.

There would be a big contraction before that happened, because kids don't want babies anymore and birth control drugs means they don't have to.
In the meantime, their welfare state would collapse because there aren't enough people for their aging population to be supported.

No offense, but Rome was my least-favorite Italian city (other than Milan) in terms of where to live. Spectacular things to see and do on vacation. But I found the people smelly, rude, and overall the city was dirty and (surprisingly) covered in graffiti.
Some real Italian smokeshows, though. Like my mom.
Would I live there for 6 months? Why not? But move their permanently? Nope.

They would rent cars and drive to other places either before or after the cruise. I heard the same stories over and over. After driving to other places they started to understand the size of the US, why we don't have trains running everywhere, and holy shit they love our big cars. lol

It's been a few years since I was in Paris, but when I was there the graffiti was mostly outside the city proper. I remember taking a cab from CDG into the city for the first time, and being like "wtf, am I in the right place?" Outside the city wasn't the City of Lights. It was the City of Shites. Pretty shitty neighborhoods, crawling with obvious immigrants (Muslims), and covered in graffiti. Luckily, all that changed when I got to the city proper. I don't know if that's still true.

The government claims his statement violated anti-discrimination laws against those who say they are “LGBTQ”
Pointing out the biological differences between men and women isn’t “hatred” — it’s acknowledging basic science.

There was a movie made in Canada about 20 years ago: The Barbarian Invasions (no, it has nothing to do with immigration, actually).
It went from critical darling to cultural hatepoint pre-social media for an interesting reason.
It's about aging leftists reflecting on life, but the actual literal view of the Canadian healthcare system showed overcrowded hospitals with patients waiting in hallways on gurneys while the main character's son had to negotiate with people to get his father in to see a specialist.

During the Desert Shield buildup in 1990, a bunch of us American soldiers serving as peacekeepers went to Eilat to drink beer and chase Euro women. We were all at a big table having dinner one night and the Israeli waiter started off being polite, but then started lecturing us, literally wagging his finger in our faces telling us that we needed to do something about Saddam.
As much as I support and admire Israel as a country, in my experience a big chunk of individual Israelis are rude assholes.

"Critical minerals used for building weapons and other essential electronics have been discovered in the sands of Utah's Silicon Ridge.
Ionic Mineral Technologies (IMT) uncovered 16 different types of high quality minerals within its 74,000 square foot mining site in Provo.
The find could give the US an edge over China which has long dominated the market.
'You can’t make a vehicle without these, you can’t make a fighter jet without some of these metals,' IMT's founder and CEO Andre Zeitoun told the Wall Street Journal.
Zeitoun added that the minerals discovered are used for semiconductors, electronics, and chips that power artificial intelligence.
IMT told the Wall Street Journal the minerals discovered include lithium, alumina, germanium, rubidium, cesium, vanadium and niobium."

It's my understanding that the Vietnamese people saw it as a nationalistic fight against colonialism, America just the latest in a long line that dates back to Chinese fights to control it, and that their leaders just happened to be communist at the time.

The US at its core has always represented "hope". The idea that all men were created equal. That all men have the rights. That a man could be born poor, but still have an opinion. That a man could be lacking in some way but still achieve something of note, and keep whatever he achieved rather than casting it away to the state. That a man could make mistakes, and think bad thoughts, and yet somehow still find redemption. Yes redemption, because at its core the US has always embraced Judeo-Christian values.
Our Nation's struggles to remain "the light of the free world" are tied almost entirely to our struggle to remain a nation that embraces Judeo-Christian values. Because without those values, it becomes quite easy to lose one's hope. Without hope, and the possibility of redemption, one day soon looks just like the next, and a feeling of nothingness can overtake our being.

Maria Corina Machado had to sneak out of Venezuela in disguise to get to Oslo for her Nobel.
It was first in a wig and disguise to get to the coast, then onboard a small launch on the 9th, and then across the Gulf on the 10th to Miami where she got on a private jet for the leg across the Atlantic
During that time the US ran a couple of F-18's over the area to the dismay of the Venezuelans, and then the following day seized an oil tanker that was false flagged (we may have heard of this).
Was this done to support Corina Machado? Or was it just pushed up because it would be convenient? Or just happenstance?

I disagree with that. I've traveled pretty extensively both foreign and domestic and while the US has different customs and traditions in various regions and locations it is all at it's core distinctly American.
Yes, it has been purposefully degraded by our betters but it's still there. When you return to the US from a foreign destination you know you are home whether you arrive in Seattle or Atlanta. We are basically a good and just people largely as was noted above by our Judeo Christian roots. The left constantly works to erase it but it's still there. The responsibility of every generation of Americans is to insure it always remains otherwise we are just another place on a map.

With that attitude and if they let you in, imagine what they might have put in your food then stand around the kitchen laughing and high-fiving each other while you ate it.
I know a lady who married a Japanese guy, and she won't go there for the blatant bigotry she experienced when visiting his family. (His father was a fighter pilot in WWII, interestingly.)

You don't get credit in 2025 for something built in 1650 that you haven't burned down yet when discussing culture, just like we can't point to the Grand Canyon or Yosemite. What is the *new* part of, say the Louvre? An ugly glass pyramid entrance that is an invasion...on the order of the pyramid the US put up in Memphis.
London's pickle shaped skyscraper is dumber than most US ones. The more normal ones at Canary Wharf are nice enough, but just standard skyscrapers from anywhere. No advantage there.

was an important patron and society hostess. After travelling widely as a young woman, in 1902 Ottoline married Philip Morrell, a solicitor and later Liberal Member of Parliament. She established herself as a literary and political hostess at their home in Bloomsbury and from 1915 at Garsington Manor, their home near Oxford. Her social gatherings provided a forum for intellectual interaction and opportunities for writers and artists to meet patrons. Visitors to Garsington included Lytton Strachey, Henry Lamb, Aldous Huxley, Bertrand Russell, and Augustus John. She met John around 1907 and after having a brief love affair, they became good friends and she helped him gain commissions and connections.

"John's granddaughter Rebecca John, the leading authority on her grandfather, said in 2024, while praising his earlier work, that "most [paintings since the 1930s] should have been burned. My grandfather went down the drain from the 1930s onwards, drank too much, lost his judgment, and took every opportunity to earn money from portraits of society ladies and the wives of notable men".

At first you think Cruella is a devil
But after time has worn away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath a rock
This vampire bat, this inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up and never released
The world was such a wholesome place until

[Trivia you can't use, but maybe there's a limerick in there somwhere:]
"Later Jewish traditions -- such as those found in the Talmud -- began to associate saliva with healing properties, particularly for eye diseases, though this is not attested to in the Old Testament itself.
The use of spittle in healing was more common in later Jewish writings and in Greco-Roman culture, where it was believed to have medicinal value."
"Spittle" would be a good name for a rapper ...

I'd thank you, SO, but what I meant was it seems rare for someone less than attractive -- male or female -- to have a sweet soul and outlook on life.

"Beauty is pain."
She worked out for roughly an hour almost every day of her life. Mostly, on an incline board to help maintain her figure.
It requires a lot of physical and mental discipline to achieve and maintain beauty as you get older.
She wasn't trying to "stay young". She was trying to be at her best throughout her life.

@whig
I belatedly saw your comment yesterday about having had "perfect pitch" (very cool!) prior to suffering from tinnitus (I now have and hate that) owing to Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) -- which I'd never heard of (and so sorry to hear).
Anyway, you're probably already aware -- but if not (or others are not): I have a good friend who was afflicted with awful psoriasis for a couple of years (I think he was being treated with nitric oxide or something) and his skin would continuously crust up and bleed (he spend the night once and his bed sheets were all bloody).
He stumbled onto somebody (maybe Dr. Eric Berg?) who recommended 50,000 IU of Vitamin D daily -- and it quickly cured his psoriasis!

I believe the first person I heard (decades ago) make the following observation was Dennis Prager:
Wealth tends to amplify character; as in, if you are of good character, becoming wealthy tends to have the effect that you are able to do even more good; and conversely, if you are of bad character, you basically become George Soros ...

But don't worry we are only doing this one good thing and then we'll give the power back"
And of course there is always one more "good thing" they just need to do...

Uber may get thumped pretty hard on this. Not just a lawsuit from the victim, but an in-depth anal prob from state and Federal agents. Does Uber normally let illegals work for them? Is that part of their vetting process? Or, just as likely, many US citizens let illegals drive under their account, with no real Uber screening to prevent. This could be the start of a major overhaul of ridesharing companies.

The Morning Report — 12/11/25
The U.S. seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday. The tanker’s ownership and origin were not revealed, but Trump said the vessel was “very large” while speaking to reporters on Wednesday. The president did not offer the rationale behind the seizure during his remarks. “As you probably know, we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,” he said. “Large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized actually.”Neither of the links state the final destination of the tanker, but although I cannot find where I read it, I'm fairly sure that I read somewhere that the tanker was bound for Cuba. Oh boy! Chee-Wah-Wah on so many levels if so. First, Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez have been a gigantic pain in our ass for years, let alone the long suffering Venezuelan people who, despite being awash in petroleum are among the poorest in Latin America and the world. But yes young Americans, let's all rush to transform the USA into a socialist paradise on earth, but I digress. Venezuela aside, a number of South and central American nations are running in the opposite direction, much to the dismay of the Castro regime that still lords over the giant tropical gulag of Cuba. Thank you JFK. As for Venezuela, that regime has a long-standing partnership and close relationship with the mad mullahs of Iran, as well as Xi and the Chi-Coms who are itching to set up shop right on our doorstep to hamper if not strangle us economically, politically and if push comes to shove militarily. That's why it is refreshing and sane that President Trump as well as Secretary of War Hegseth and Secretary of State Rubio are speaking with one very loud and clear voice in the aggressive reassertion of the Monroe Doctrine. This excerpt from the White House National Security Strategy released just last month and linked here for your perusal.
Attorney General Pam Bondi posted video of the U.S. raid on an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela on Wednesday.
The video shows U.S. forces boarding and taking control of the vessel as part of an operation to enforce U.S. sanctions on the sale of Venezuelan oil. “[T]he Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran,” said Bondi. “For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” she added. “This seizure, completed off the coast of Venezuela, was conducted safely and securely—and our investigation alongside the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil continues.” . . . The decision to seize the oil tanker strikes directly at Venezuela’s main source of revenue, its state-controlled oil industry. The oil it can produce through its state-owned oil company, PDVSA, is often sold internationally to countries such as Iran and China at steep discounts because of the risk of running afoul of U.S. sanctions.
Western Hemisphere: The Trump Corollary to the Monroe DoctrineIt would be quite something to finally see Cuba libré after 65 or more years of being a communist slave state, if for no other reason than to see the jug-eared dog-eating piece of shit Barack Obama (who propped up the regime after Fidel was dragged down to Hell) shriek in agony as Donald Trump dynamites the statues of Castro, Lenin and Marx at that Havana reviewing stand, in the same manner as that giant Swastika was blasted off the reviewing stand at the Nuremberg Nazi rally site at the end of World War 2 – I Have a Dream Today!
After years of neglect, the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, and to protect our homeland and our access to key geographies throughout the region. We will deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities, or to own or control strategically vital assets, in our Hemisphere. This “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine is a common-sense and potent restoration of American power and priorities, consistent with American security interests.
Of course the treasonous, traitorous venal tyrants in our midst will do their best to prevent that from happening: I give you a whore who babbles on . . .
During a recent interview with the far-Left Daily Beast, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), one of six Democrat lawmakers who collaborated on the infamous video telling service members they have a duty to refuse “unlawful orders,” made an extraordinary claim. She said they felt compelled to act because: There [were] so many people coming to us, who were on active duty who — recent veterans, family members of service members — who were coming to us individually and saying two things: One, ‘I’m concerned I’m going to sent in uniform to an American city, you know, like L.A., Chicago, Memphis, and I’m going to be asked to do things I either don’t think are legal or I’m not trained for. What do I do?As CBD and I noted on the podcast, while President Trump perhaps ought to have informed Congress of his intentions to interdict and destroy Venezuelan drug running terrorists on the high seas and that he considers the Maduro regime and Maduro himself as complicit in running drugs and de facto terror leaders in doing so, the fact that he didn't do so beforehand makes little difference to me. Given who and what the Democrats are, if past is prologue, someone for sure would have spilled the beans to Maduro ahead of time. Even if it meant putting the lives of American military personnel in danger. They hate Trump with the heat of 10,000 suns and hate America itself as much if not more because they, for the time being, have been thwarted in seizing absolute power. When they say "By any means necessary" they're not kidding as we have seen for almost 200 years now. Sowing mutiny in the ranks. Look what was done to Derek Chauvin who merely did his job as a police officer, and how that affected police morale and recruitment. Luckily Trump and Hegseth are at the top of the heap and the average soldier and officer have little to fear in terms of a politicized attempt to drum someone out of the service for following orders, no matter how ridiculous or loudly SLUTkin and her ilk shriek "WAR CRIMES!" But if God-forbid a Democrat administration once again takes power, then you better believe a Stalinesque purge will sweep through the flag officer corps if not go down the line to just the average dogface for obeying, legitimate orders handed down by the C-in-C Donald Trump. And so, with no other means to prop up their allies, that is America's enemies, resort to destroying morale and readiness. It's the Chicago/OBAMA way... Unto my last breath, the greatest threat to America's national security was is and always will be the Democrat Left. Have a good day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Of course, most of Congress loves the grift that NATO provides, so that is a dead letter.
But, it would be a great response to those Communists who smiled and personally flourished under Biden's hyper-inflation policies when they whine and moan about "Affordability".

If an order is obviously illegal you are duty bound not to follow it. If you have qualms about carrying out an order you feel is immoral or wrong, you always have the option as a thinking individual to refuse, but you must be willing to pay the consequences. There was a young officer back in the WoT who felt the Iraq war was wrong and refused to go, then was surprised to be held accountable for his braaaave moral stance. Probably joined to have his college debt paid off.

I see a lot of videos on YT where certain economic things are persistently 'misunderstood'.
- People seem to believe that tariffs are affecting the price of food.
- People believe that inflation going down should mean that we have deflation.
- People fail to recognize the impact of tens of millions of people either taking jobs away from citizens or receiving benefits paid for by citizens.
- People fail to recognize the impact of the government requiring businesses to give raises to entry level workers.
I'm not sure how much of this is an op and how much is genuine economic ignorance. It's sad.

Fakhrizadeh was the architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons project
• Killed in 2020 near Tehran in a precision ambush widely attributed to Israel.
What the official revealed on TV:
• No foreign hit squad, Mossad used local collaborators
• Recruits trained abroad in three short courses
• Cost per recruit: €25,000
• Israel built a covert network inside Iran
• Tehran is now executing people out of fear, not strength Iran spent decades claiming Israel was the “external enemy.”
Now it’s admitting the real threat is already inside the regime’s walls.

CO SB25-183
In 2024, CO voters approved Amendment 79, which:
1. Repealed the state constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of public funds to pay for abortions; and
2. Added an amendment recognizing the right to an abortion and prohibiting CO state and local governments from denying, impeding, or discriminating against the exercise of that right, including prohibiting health insurance companies from excluding coverage for abortion.
This current bill codifies changes to state law relating to abortion to conform with Amendment 79.
Current law requires the executive director of HCPF to authorize Medicaid reimbursement for family-planning-related services. This act expands the definition of "family-planning-related services" to include abortion care. The act requires the medical services board to include abortion care in the schedule of health-care services available for pregnant persons enrolled in the children's basic health plan [Medicaid].

To be fair to point 1, if the food is an international food, like say chocolate from Germany, tariffs ARE affecting the price of that particular end user food. While food companies will eat most of the tariff, they will try to pass on what they can.
Yet, the reverse happens for American food products other countries are now no longer willing to import b/c of "get even" for our tariffs (see soybeans and China). Supply becomes larger here and drops the cost here, especially the more perishable it is.
So, with food tariffs, you get an uneven effect, and as far as I've seen, that effect has been positive for consumers overall, not negative, b/c we make a TON of our own food.

Nick Saban left the game because of NIL and the portal. It's unacceptable. Even professional athletes can't jump from team to team every year because they got their feewings hurt in practice that one time.
He said he wasn't going to waste his time recruiting a kid, spending tons of money along with the time and effort it takes to make a premier athlete only to see them leave because they didn't get the playing time they 'deserve.'
College football is an absolute mess right now.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that my Red Raiders are in the CFP and ranked in the top 5 for the first time in program history. But that's mainly because they have a booster giving the school millions for NIL money.

Yet, the reverse happens for American food products other countries are now no longer willing to import b/c of "get even" for our tariffs (see soybeans and China). Supply becomes larger here and drops the cost here, especially the more perishable it is.
So, with food tariffs, you get an uneven effect, and as far as I've seen, that effect has been positive for consumers overall, not negative, b/c we make a TON of our own food.

I don't disagree, but if you're going to do the insane practice of ranking an independent school in your top 10 every year, despite them playing a weak schedule most years, you can't say the conference championships mean so much, especially after Alabama getting absolutely SMOKED in theirs yet still making the playoff, and put every winner in.

I hope Tech wins the whole thing… or Alabama (because of the Saban connection). But it’s getting harder and harder for me to enjoy watching this sport I used to love and grew up with. I saw Troy Aikman made a comment that he donated a good sum of NIL money to UCLA (where he played) and he said “never again” because the kid who got his money (people speculate it was QB Dante Moore) never said thank you and just picked up and left for a better offer at Oregon the next year.

It was flying a flag from a country other than that which it was registered in. That's reason enough for it to be boarded and the crew / cargo detained. It is a common ruse the Chinese, Russians, Iranians and anyone else who's trying to circumvent import restrictions or embargos will employ.
A couple weeks ago a Russian flagged tanker was interdicted by the US Navy and turned away from it's course... towards Cuba. It returned to Venezuelan waters. That story just sort of disappeared.
Same ship? Who knows.
The whole point of the US efforts with Maduro right now is to cripple the economy and create the conditions for an organic, native overthrow of his regime. Just like the Democrats try every time they're not in power here.

During Pope Leo’s brief December 9 remarks, the Pontiff emphasized that, while he hadn’t read the entire peace plan, he was disappointed that the U.S. appears to be trying to “break apart” from its long-standing alliance with Europe by not including them in the negotiations and criticizing their leadership in various interviews.

Normally I would say it's laziness but if the Left is doing it, it's likely nefarious and worth bucking against. There certainly is an "official" quality to serif fonts that doesn't exist in others. I like the legibility that comes with calibri and segoe ui but it's always worth reversing whatever the Left does so I'm for it.

There were two sports scandals at Michigan State. One involved that Olympic training doctor, the other was thuggery among the football players. We're nestled between Columbus and Ann Arbor, so malcontents here wish a pox on both houses, and used to say that MSU was the "quality" program in Michigan. So that one really hurt. The CMU Chippies are still pretty stout fellows.
I don't see how the NCAA noble-savage mythos of the "student athlete" survives the transfer portal and NIL. I grew up anti-Sport, and may have to go back to it. This will go down hard because my wife is commissioner of a fantasy league.

Top Story
- Had a thunderstorm roll through last night and some of the lightning strikes came pretty close, but it passed without event. Or so I thought.
When I went to turn off the lights in the kitchen, it got very dark and very quiet. The only light remaining was the clock on the oven; everything else had lost power. And when I went downstairs to reset the breaker, it wasn't having it.
Put the fridge on an extension cord overnight - the rest of the house had power - and left it for the morning.
This morning I unplugged absolutely everything, reset the breaker - which now accepted its fate - and plugged things in again one at a time, waiting for it all to go phut.
Got down to the bar fridge and the dishwasher, which are on the same plug somehow. Took a deep breath, and plugged them in.
They work. Everything works.
I dunno.
- Operation Bluebird wants to steal Twitter's trademark from Twitter. (The Verge) (archive site)
We have built a social platform that will look familiar to those that used legacy Twitter, but with new tools that provide a safer experience and empower the user to decide what types of content they engage in.
It's a hugbox for crazies.
Like Bluesky. But we already have Bluesky. For now; it's dying pretty swiftly.Intellectual property attorney Douglas Masters says he is doubtful that Operation Bluebird's claims will be successful. "I don't know that the record ultimately will show that even though they [X Corp.] switched to X, that they intended to give up all of their commercial use and rights in the word Twitter," Masters tells The Verge.
Well, yeah. You can go to twitter.com right now and it works.

It's pocket-sized - or at least coat pocket sized - and has a custom 12 core ARM processor, an NPU capable of 190 trillion operations per second, and 80GB of RAM.
It will be shown off at CES. No pricing yet, but 80GB of RAM suddenly costs a fair bit of money.

One of the lessons of the social media era was that a lot of .com bloggers and content providers went “in-house” at Facebook, Twitter etc. and suddenly became very susceptible to censorship and content moderation. They lost their independence and frequently were deplatformed. I wonder if the new censorship regime will drive creators back to creating their own websites to avoid that fate?

We'd probably already be at that point, for conservatives/right, if Elon hadn't bought Twitter.
Before then, the trend was to create "freedom of speech" social media alternatives like Gab, Parler, Truth Social, Rumble, etc.
As AI gets better at creating websites, I suspect people will go back to blogging more, like Substack has been pretty successful at.
If we could somehow create a standardized system of federated/p2p ways to do social media, like Bluesky and Mastadon do, then people could create their own blog/social media portal for themselves that can't be blocked by corps or governments as easily.
Instead people will have to individually block users they don't want to interact with. Which is the way it should be instead of faceless corp/gov moderators doing all the banning based on political correctness and expediency.

Yeah, I'm still up - I figure I am too wound up tonight to sleep. Not scared or anything like that - I have had so many surgeries in my lifetime that there really isn't any fear associated with it any more.
Plus, since I have a medical port, I won't have to have an IV, which is ALWAYS the part that I dread. I have tiny baby veins, and the pre-op folks can never get an IV to work on me.
One time I woke up to find that the OR staff had relocated the IV in my foot! I think the vein in my arm had blown not long after they knocked me out....

She says in one devotional that she searches for signs of the Lord's presence everyday. "Sometimes You communicate with me in grand, unmissable ways-"Coincidences that are clearly the work of Your hands.At other times I get more subtle glimpses of you. These are often so personal that other people wouldn't even notice them. Yet these
Subtle signs bring me profound joy. "
The more attentive I am , the more I can find You in the details of my day. So please help me to stay alert- being on the lookout for for delightful displays of your presence ."

A post on Operation Bluebird’s LinkedIn page suggests the startup would use AI for fact-checking and moderation.
This is already proving to be a huge problem on YouTube with AI taking out videos left and right that had no real basis to be removed.
They're going to make this move based on some theory that AI is not biased, which is BS as they've all been trained on internet data and a lot of academic papers.
AI's entire 'brains' are filled to the brim with leftist mush and they'll act accordingly based on whatever moral, ethical, and legal values it's trained on - so yeah, AI-AWFLs is what you'll end up with moderating the internet.
Even Grok isn't immune to left-wing bias.

I dunno...
You may have too many motors on the same circuit. Motors cause 500%-2000% current draw on startup, called "inrush current". Only lasting a few milliseconds, but long enough to pop the breaker.
Turn the motors on one at a time, which you did, and voila.

For a while, it looked like Microsoft was going to do the same EPUB support for Word. The original versions of the Edge browser using their own engine allowed it to act as an EPUB reader and had some nice features for that. Support for that feature set was dropped when they switched to using the Chrome engine. I always felt that was a mistaken bit bit of cost cutting by Microsoft.

Dittos with having all the motors start at the same time.
With a storm, the voltage may have dropped as the grid tries to balance for a damaged circuit and the electricity is coming from somewhere further.
In Texas, and I imagine elsewhere due to the incorporation of lead following wind/solar, by law, suppliers have a wider range of deviation from 60Hz (50Hz for Australia)
All these things can add up (including the hot circuit) to having breakers trip.

I grew up with all kinds of people around me BS'ing about this or that, so when computers do it, its sort of expected.
Nowadays, read through any X threads, and there is a large community of people who completely inverse reality and with full authority tell you things that you know for a fact are not true.
Furthermore, the culture has stepped away from Theory of Mind and doesn't know to ask questions, yet feels that their own emotions are receipts for a "fact" to be true that they just made up.
Three generations of failed public education has resulted in most people struggling with things that were almost reflexive decades ago. Probably the worst aspect is the deconstruction of the language such where for most people certain thoughts are not possible because they don't have the vocabulary.
So, to me, AI has become my best friend because so many around me can't keep up or don't have the foundation to participate in the topics I care about.

For thermal-magnetic breakers (the most common residential), hysteresis deals more with the ability to reset, its the actual mechanical toggling and arcing that causes premature wear on a breaker.
That is, don't use the breaker as an on/off switch. I've been told that residential breakers are rated to be used for manual operation about 6-10 times their fault-clearing rating.
I guess what is implied there is that fault-related clearing wears out breakers quicker than manual operation.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - December 10, 2025 [Frosty Rex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.
This is the Winter Egg, commissioned by Emperor Nicholas II from the firm of Faberge, and presented to his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, on Easter Day, 1913.
The naturalistic design is not the only outstanding thing about this egg. The approach to materials, too, is rare and peculiarly timeless. Rock crystal, from which the shell and the base are made, is not the most lavish choice - and it had been used in previous eggs to create a kind of ovoid display case. But the Winter Egg is different. Transparent quartz is deployed here, because in the right hands it can be made to emulate both hoar-encrusted glass and jagged ice. A beautiful material has been rendered priceless by the artistry invested in it, by an ineffable human touch. There are, of course, plenty of precious metals and gems in the egg, too - but always they serve the design. The trickling meltwater on the craggy base is made of platinum, while the sparkling effect of the whole ensemble is produced by the careful placement of minuscule diamonds, more than 4,000 of them in all. The surprise inside the egg is a separate work of art, and also a feat of botanical mimicry. The wood anemones are arranged informally in a woven basket that is made of platinum and set with rose-cut diamonds. Some of the windflowers - as wood anemones are also known - are fully in bloom, some still half-closed. Their pale petals are of white quartz, and at the centre of each head is a demantoid garnet set within a gold stamen. The leaves on the golden stems are carved from pale green nephrite. Source: ChristiesOne of 50 made. Only 43 survive. Sold at auction recently for USD$30.2 million. Where are you going to find another one for sale?
On November 4, 1965, CDR Clarence W. Stoddard, Jr., Executive Officer of VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet," flying A-1H Skyraider Bu. No. 135297, NE/572, from Carrier Air Wing Two aboard USS Midway, carried a special bomb to the North Vietnamese in commemoration of the 6-millionth pound of ordnance dropped. This bomb was unique because of the type... it was a toilet! Also unique to this mission is the fact that this aircraft was named "Paper Tiger II" (a temporary name used for just this one flight.) The following is an account of this event, courtesy of Clint Johnson, Captain, USNR Ret. Captain Johnson was one of the two VA-25 A-1 Skyraider pilots credited with shooting down a MiG-17 on June 20, 1965. "I was a pilot in VA-25 on the 1965 Vietnam cruise. 572 was flown by CDR C. W. "Bill" Stoddard. His wingman in 577 (which was my assigned airplane) was LCDR Robin Bacon, who had a wing station mounted movie camera (the only one remaining in the fleet from WWII.) The flight was a Dixie Station strike (South Vietnam) going to the Delta. When they arrived in the target area and CDR Stoddard was reading the ordnance list to the FAC [Forward Air Controller], he ended with "and one code name Sani-Flush." The FAC couldn't believe it and joined up to see it. It was dropped in a dive with LCDR Bacon flying tight wing position to film the drop. When it came off, it turned hole to the wind and almost struck his airplane. It made a great ready room movie. The FAC said that it whistled all the way down. The toilet was a damaged toilet, which was going to be thrown overboard. One of our plane captains rescued it and the ordnance crew made a rack, tailfins and nose fuse for it. Our checkers maintained a position to block the view of the air boss and the Captain while the aircraft was taxiing forward. Just as it was being shot off we got a 1MC message from the bridge, "What the hell was on 572's right wing?" There were a lot of jokes with air intelligence about germ warfare. I wish that we had saved the movie film. CDR Stoddard was later killed while flying 572 in Oct. 1966. He was hit by three SAMs over Vinh." Source
Robert L. May created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for Chicago-based Montgomery Ward. The retailer had been buying and giving away booklets for Christmas every year and it was decided that creating their own book would save money. May considered naming the reindeer Rollo or Reginald before deciding upon using the name Rudolph. May chose a reindeer because of his daughter's love of the deer at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL. May also said he was treated like Rudolph as a child. In its first year of publication, Montgomery Ward distributed 2.4 million copies of Rudolph's story.
While May was staring out his office window in downtown Chicago, pondering how best to craft a Christmas story about a reindeer, a thick fog from Lake Michigan blocked his view - giving him a flash of inspiration. "Suddenly I had it!" he recalled. "A nose! A bright red nose that would shine through fog like a spotlight."You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all - LEROY!!!

lobe of the liver.
He will also be taking a few lymph nodes to see if the cancer has progressed outside of the liver, but so far none of the imaging over the past year has shown any lymphatic involvement.
He isn’t anticipating any surprises, and thinks that I should be able to go home in 5-7 days after surgery. We plan on traveling to South Texas on the 20th to have Christmas with both of our older daughters and their families.
I have always recovered remarkably quickly from surgery, and we are hoping/expecting that this one will be no different.
All of the Christmas presents this year are “wrapped” in the festive cardboard boxes/mailing envelopes they arrived in, as the chemo made me tireder than I realized when it came time to start wrapping everything. (Continued....)

Trump HAS to go after these GOPe pretenders who haven't gotten the memo:
Washington — Republican moderates in the House revolted against leadership on Wednesday as they seek to force a vote on expiring health insurance premium tax credits — an issue that could have major political ramifications for the party in next year's elections.
Facing an end-of-year deadline, Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania introduced a discharge petition to try to bring a bill to the floor that would extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies by two years. A handful of GOP moderates quickly signed on.
The move is the latest rebellion by rank-and-file Republicans to force votes on issues that leadership would rather avoid.

We are bringing wrapping paper and accessories with us as usual for the girls to wrap their presents (they send them to our house so that they don’t have to carry them on the plane), so they may decide to wrap everything for me when they get to town 🤣🤣🤣
I will try and have Paul update everyone when I am in recovery – he should be posting something on my Facebook page. He may stay overnight in the hospital with me, but I will probably be in ICU overnight, just because I won’t be done with surgery aftermath until early evening. He may just decide to drive home (surgery is in Dallas) and come back on Friday morning.
Anyway, prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
***Important Update***
My doctor called with a proposition in case he has to bail on liver resection – he can implant something called an HAI pump, which can deliver medication directly into the liver. I asked if we could do both 🤣🤣🤣
Will know more tomorrow.
Apparently my case is already considered “outside the box”. Of course…🙄🙄🙄 (Cont.)

I belonged to a guitar forum that kicked me out when I didn't go along with the "guitar companies are price gougers" when COVID money suddenly showed up and drove prices upward.
Prior to getting kicked out, I was on good terms with a regular who earned my respect by acknowledging that Ritchie Blackmore had played a huge and ongoing influence on the metal guitar scene via both Deep Purple and Rainbow. Blackmore was his SECOND favorite guitarist. The guitarist from Savatage (Chris Oliva) was his favorite.

TSO's first big hit, "Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24," was originally on Savatage's album "Dead Winter Dead." A concept album set during the Bosnian War.
"CE/S" was a tribute to "The Cellist of Sarajevo," Vedran Smailović, who would go out and play cello solos in the middle of the ruins of Sarajevo while it was under siege.

I've read a little about Rasputin, and the situation was not ...monosemantic. He was very possibly maligned, as Marie Antoinette was. Much intrigue surrounded the czar, many interests pulling in all directions. Rasputin did seem to have some healing abilities. He wanted to improve the plight of peasants, the common folks. He was shrewd, was popular with some at court, and maybe provided unvarnished opinion to the royal couple.

The intelligence service of Denmark, a NATO ‘ally’ currently under the rule of left-liberal globalists, has caused quite the stir across Europe and the globe after it labeled the United States as a potential security concern, a stunning shift for a country long conditioned to defer to NATO orthodoxy.
The new intelligence assessment claims Washington, under the Trump administration, is aggressively reasserting its national interests—something globalist governments in Europe have thus far not been prepared to deal with.

Hey Anna, I posted this in the previous thread, but nobody in media has noticed or understood what just happened - most brilliant move by Trump and Hegseth yet. 3 primary effects:
1) this tanker was headed for Cuba, which has an antiquated, failing oil powered system for all of their power production. The loss of this tanker might cause the grid to go down for the entire island (again)
2) Maduro desperately needed the money from this shipment for his associates and other expenses, since the loss of the drug boats is hurting him and his partners badly.
3) this ship was part of the Russian "shadow fleet" so it was a nice little way to kick Putin in the teeth as well.
That's a lot of billiard balls to get moving with one little shot.

His grandfather, Alexander II, was a reformer who liberated the serfs, was still assassinated by radicals despite his liberalism.
So Nicholas’ father, Alexander III, was quite the reactionary after his father was killed and he proceeded to crack down hard on the radicals and revolutionaries for decades.
By the time Nicholas was crowned the die was cast for revolution. WWI pretty much ended any chances things would turn out differently.

Back when Nixon first went to China, the Doonesbury character Duke (I think it was, based on Hunter S. Thompson) went with him. They were at a state dinner, and Duke did a great double-take when a mother sitting near him said to her child, "Eat. There are starving children in Appalachia."
Once upon a time, Doonesbury was still funny.

There were rumors (just rumors, no public evidence or public accusations) that the General in charge of the Southern Command, who was forced into early retirement by Hegseth just prior to this all starting, had way too many personal contacts and personal relationships with those running both Venezuela and Columbia.
And on a completely unrelated note, the CFO of the DEA under Obama was just arrested and charged with setting up a multimillion dollar money laundering scheme for the Cartels.
(OH but no he never took money from the cartels while he was part of the DEA's top level, nah why would you think that?)

Marco has always had it in for Castroagonia, I think that was why he was a neocon to begin with. It is part and parcel to being a Cuban in Florida. The end of Communist Cuba was probably his ask.
Rubio is going to give a speech in the Plaza de la Revolucion to announce the new, free Cuba if he has anything to say about it,
It was pointed out to me that Rubio is the most powerful SoS since Kissinger. That is not by accident on anyone's part

Back in 2020, the IIRG was going to kidnap an American citizen who was born in Iran, stuff her on a boat, take her to Venezuela, and then fly her to Tehran to make her vanish.
Luckily the FBI was not asleep this time or working for the other side. They stopped the plot by relocating the woman.

Well now...that explains something I was curious about. NJ recently had an aggressive effort to push through legislation that would change the state from an "Opt In" organ donation to "Opt-Out" organ donation.
What this means is currently you have to sign up to donate organs. But, in changing to Opt-Out, you would be required to remove yourself from default donation.
Why is this important? Well, consider that Canada has the MAID program for assisted suicide. Canada now leads the world in organ donations resulting from Euthanasia. There is mucho dinero to be made on organ donation from a bunch of different parties. Opt Out increases the "stock"...so once again...follow the money, and you have your ghoul.

"CHINA'S CARIBBEAN OIL REFINERY IS THE REAL REASON TRUMP IS CIRCLING VENEZUELA WITH CARRIER GROUPS"
China built a massive refinery in the Caribbean to process Venezuela's ultra-heavy crude after U.S. sanctions.
Now Beijing refines it on-site, skips the Atlantic crossing, and pockets the profit.
Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou just dropped the quiet part out loud on stream:
"If you want to know when America is serious about attacking a country, always watch for naval movements.
A month ago, I said 'no invasion of Venezuela' because we hadn't sent one. Then the USS Gerald R. Ford and 11 warships showed up.

We're not at war with Venezuela. We don't buy their oil anymore. The drugs transiting Venezuela are Colombian/Ecuadorian headed to Europe, not America.The Indians and the Chinese built new refineries to handle Venezuelan oil, and they ship the oil there.
The Chinese are swimming in money.
They decided instead of shipping the Venezuelan oil all the way to China, they'll just build the refinery in the Caribbean, refine it right there, and ship it out from the Caribbean.
And the United States doesn't like that."

The Regarding Venezuela, US naval deployments aren't about regime change—they're enforcing hemispheric sovereignty under the Monroe Doctrine 2.0.
China's refinery gambit in the Caribbean is economic warfare, exploiting Venezuela's collapsed state to bypass sanctions and control energy flows. Every barrel processed there funds Beijing's aggression and cartel pipelines poisoning our streets.
Strategic deterrence isn't optional; it's essential to prevent hostile powers from turning our backyard into a launchpad for chaos. Weakness invites predation—strength secures peace.

The oil in the Athabaska "tar" sands is like that too. Took a huge capital investment to build the mines, and separating plants, and the upgrader that hydrogenates the heavy crude, and makes a lighter sweet crude with it, but the resource is so huge, it was worth the effort.

Teresa, if you are still here, and even if you aren't, you are always in my prayers, dear heart. Paul as well. He is a rock. But even rocks need love.
All is well, all is well, and all manner of things are well, in the sight of Our Lord.

Don't stay too long. I find that about three days of LV is more than enough, if you are on or near the strip.
Off the strip is different. Tours to Hoover Dam, hikes in the desert parks, etc., make it tolerable.
But the level of pathetic miserable people tends to wear anyone down over time. Plus the constant smell of weed and desperation is off-putting. Probably not my favorite place, if you couldn't tell!

Candace Owens is just awful. I was just reading -- she's posting *private messages* between her and Charlie Kirk well before he met Erika, where Charlie asks her for advice on how to dress for dates and stuff.
And accusing TPUSA of financial fraud. Erika ripped her today on FOX without calling her by name.
Somebody called Candace a Jezebel. That fits perfectly. TPUSA needs to take the gloves off and just sue and destroy this Jezebel.

So why does that focus pattern fool our brain? Is it that when we are staring at something very close our eyes produce that same focus pattern too? I guess that could be it. I looked online and all the explanations just dealt with how it mimics a close up camera shot which doesn't really explain the optical illusion.

I got to reading about this. Best I can frame it is it both a real optical effect and a brain effect. The optical effect is to make the brain think it is very shallow depth of field, and thus the objects must be very small.

Rep. Tim Burchett Says NeoCon REPUBLICAN Congressmen Are Sabotaging Trump Ahead of The Midterms.
"A lot of folks are undermined. I think you've got staffers in key spots that are crooked. I think they're in bed literally or figuratively with, with lobbyists and they kill very good pieces of legislation."
"That's why you see study committees say they're gonna study this bill for a year and then it magically goes away. That's part of the design because they want to undermine Trump. Ultimately, they hate him because he is cutting off their money."
"They've got the ear of a paid lobbyist, who's probably taken them out for drinks, steak dinner, maybe they went to some fancy place, Qatar, or Myrtle Beach. You've got speakers and people in leadership and people are undermining them."

Where does one even begin, the shitshow of Cuba?
I read an interview with an elderly Cuban the last time their power plant went TU and widespread electricity blackouts were routine. Maybe a year ago or so. She was not happy, though trying not to complain too much.
She pointed out just how patient she has been since Batista was overthrown - that was 1959, by the way, or near enough, but apparently patience has its limits even with the coming Socialist Utopia right around the corner. Very sad.

Well, right! And simultaneously all the abject failures of Socialism, the millions of dead, never happened, and besides, that was also because “Real Socialism hasn’t been tried.”
It’s just completely idiotic, the 60s generation grew old, but they never grew up. I really want to see if I can get my crazy uncle to stroke out, one of these days I’m going to off-handedly opine “Well, real Naziism hasn’t been tried” when he starts bitching about some nonsense.

Per a Cuban website, the electrical generation is from natural gas, bunker fuel and fuel oil. I think the bunker fuels is mostly massaged crude, since the term used is "national crude". Maduro could be sending fuel oil or bunker grade. [shrug]

The chemical properties of elements more or less repeat over a period of atomic number. Elements in the same column of the table have similar chemical and physical properties.

Ackshully - I think this one is pretty significant in several ways. In fact one of the biggest TY things Trump and Hegseth have done yet. Caribbean interests me, I follow events there for my own reasons. 3 big things result from this:
1) the biggest - Cuba uses oil to generate electricity, and their grid is always on the edge of collapsing (again). The loss of this tanker probably takes down the grid for the entire island.
2) Maduro desperately needed the money from this sale since his drug money is getting blowed up. Big hit to his finances, and to his supporters,
3) the ship was part of the Russian "shadow fleet" so it's a big kick in the teeth for Putin, too.

That's not the way he used to be. He has a hard on for being, unrighteously set up and, banned the first time, so much so that he didn't see that he had been more than graciously accepted, even by his detractors, back into the HQ.

His trailer is a p.o.s. and ready to fall apart. He's 70+ years old and has health problems (and, IMO, can't handle a trailer for sh!t) and is deaf.

The joke is really on them. "Common era" was first used in some treatise by Kepler (at least as far as they know). Common (or vulgar -- it didn't have the negative connotation it does now) mean not royal/noble. The commoners were using the AD Christian year numbering, as opposed to some regnal year numbering, like The Year of King Chuckles III such-and-such.
So "common era" didn't come about to get rid of Christ/Christian. It was only later some of these types began to use it that way. Joke is on them.

Washington — Republican moderates in the House revolted against leadership on Wednesday as they seek to force a vote on expiring health insurance premium tax credits — an issue that could have major political ramifications for the party in next year's elections.
Facing an end-of-year deadline, Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania introduced a discharge petition to try to bring a bill to the floor that would extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies by two years. A handful of GOP moderates quickly signed on.
The move is the latest rebellion by rank-and-file Republicans to force votes on issues that leadership would rather avoid.

The National Republican Senate Committee Tricked Jasmine Ratchet Into Running for Texas Senate;
Kumala Harris Still Wants to Run for President
Marxist rag the New Republic reports on Republicans high-fiving each other for manipulating low-IQ narcissist into running for Senate. Apparently the Democrats were not polling to see how the plus-sized imbecile would do in a primary, so the Republicans did run one. And then they publicized the results when it showed her as a genuine threat to win the primary.
A source familiar with the process told NOTUS that GOP machinations to prop up Crockett's run first began in June, when Texas Democrats met to discuss 2026 midterm elections--and the firebrand Democrat wasn't invited, or included in any initial polls. In July, the National Republican Senatorial Committee published a poll that found that Crockett was the preferred candidate among Democratic voters. "When we saw the results, we were like, 'OK, we got to disseminate this far and wide,'" the source told NOTUS. After the NRSC included Crockett's name in their poll, other surveys started to include her too. The source told NOTUS that those polls were then aggressively seeded into progressive digital spaces by NRSC allies to "orchestrate the pile on" of promising polling numbers and drive the narrative that support for Crockett was "surging." The source dubbed the system of trying to pull in a weaker candidate who would lose to the Republican challenger as an "AstroTurf recruitment process."This is a deception campaign that will go down in history as the greatest since the Allies convinced Hitler they would invade at Calais rather than Normandy:

Jasmine Ratchet is denying she previously said that Latinos who voted for Trump have a "slave mentality," despite being confronted with the exact quote.
Tapper literally read Jasmine Crockett her OWN quote where she suggested Latino Trump voters have a “slave mentality.” Her response?

Defeat hit Ms. Harris deeply. She had not felt such grief since the death of her mother, she has said, a line that sears even as she repeats it so often as to become a talking point.2, She's engaged in a passive-aggressive womanly sniping contest with Gavin Newsom. In other words: she's not happy about Mr. High T being anointed the next nominee. 3, Her allies are out in primary state knocking the "white boys" of the Democrat Party, trying to gin up black and especially black female interest in Kumala 2.0 by ginning up racial/sexual hate against her expected primary opponents. Like Gavin Newsom, again. (And Josh Shapiro, too.)
"That's what so many of the white boys -- the Josh Shapiros, the Gavin Newsoms of the world and even Pete, although I would vote for Pete -- that's what they miss about Kamala," said Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina legislator who has been an informal Harris adviser, referring to the governors of Pennsylvania and California and to Mr. Buttigieg, the former transportation secretary. "She is so important to so many people."And there's this:

On a recent long-form podcast, the likes of which she got so much heat for avoiding last year, Ms. Harris let fly a two-word phrase -- rhyming with "bucket" -- to describe her new ethos. She says she is now on her "freedom tour." This is Kamala Harris unleashed. But it is still Kamala Harris, the profanity a proxy for plain-spokenness. She is the first woman to serve as vice president, and well attuned to the double standards of gender and race. Lawyerly language remains her safe space, and she still defaults to acting as if every question is part of a deposition where answers can and will be used against her.Lawyerly language? You mean her ding-a-ling word salads? That's not lawyerly language. That's a retard who doesn't know the answer when she's called on in class and is just scatting and babbling until the class bell rings.

I'll warn you, again: I think it's foolhardy to jeopardize a safe seat in 2026 by nominating Ken Paxton.
What you're all overlooking is Paxton has a lot of Republican party Enemies in Texas who will do Everything they can to torpedo Paxton in the election.
Same goes for Kentucky. Beware the McConnell "Republicans" in Kentucky -- they will try to torpedo the R nominee.

The only way the strategy makes sense is if she gets the Dem nomination to run (the point being to saddle the Dems with a weak candidate that any GOP pol could handily whip in the general). If the GOP runs around braying about how they've put this weak horse in the race beforehand, that's counterproductive, as Dems, slow as they are, might wake up and choose someone better in the primary (which would be virtually anyone other than Crockett).

Most voters don't read political stories. And Dems in the primary have a difficult time using the GOP story in attack ads for coalitional reasons.
And I guarantee you that Crockett is not going to bow out for Talarico. Her career is dead if she waits to lose her seat in 2026. Alred has already pivoted to running for the remnant part of the seat anyway.
Small donors on Act Blue, when not actual smurfed ones, go for the bizarre and emo types. GOP as well as Dem actually as activists are to the right of the median GOP primary voter and Dem activists to the left in their party.

cornyn has bush money to spend while paxton is able to fund raise everything else. I do not think it is going to be close. I do expect cornyn to go the distance but I think he will lose the primary by 4-5 points.

But Venezuela only has two sources of income - Oil sales, and the drug trade. Trump is cutting off both of them; you gotta figure that each drug boat blown up costs Maduro about $50 million in lost income. That's adding up, and now stopping the oil trade with it?
And the idea, obviously, is to convince some of Maduro's generals that Life could suddenly be a whole lot easier if they wised up and got rid of that asshole. Every paycheck they miss brings that day closer.

Nationally that might be; but in Texas it's even worse than that. For all practical purposes, there *is* *no* organized Democrat Party in Texas anymore. All the money comes from out of state, which is why it is so easy for any loud mouthed idealogue, or a freak with an online following, to vault to the top of the Dem Charts with very little effort. The Texas Dem Party is completely broke; one of the biggest reasons Beto was popular was that he financed all his campaigns with his own donors, the party had very little to do with it.
Not to mention that with no dems having won any statewide races in 30 years or so, they don't have any candidates with any experience doing anything except for a few congressmen from deep blue districts. (Like Beto and Jasmine and Talarico)

The fun thing about Allred is that the District he's going to run in (his home district), but he's going to have to run against an incumbent Julie Johnson (D). They used to be friends, I'll bet not now.
If you look up District 33 you'll see it's currently represented by Marc Vesey (R), but he's going to run for reelection in Fort Worth, since the redistricting bill has shifted all the lines around for everyone.
Jasmine's old district really isn't going to exist anymore, it got chopped up.

Fed Cuts Prime Rate 0.25%; Trump Pivots to "Make America Affordable Again"
A big reason for the loss of support from independents is the persistent Biden inflation and not-yet-hot economy.
The Fed is resisting actually boosting the economy, making the smallest possible reductions in the prime lending rate incrementally to have the smallest possible positive impact on the economy. Remember, Powell cut interest rates shortly before the 2024 election despite still out-of-control inflation.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced its third interest rate cut of the year as policymakers moved forward with the cut to support the labor market despite elevated inflation. Fed policymakers voted to lower the benchmark federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a new range of 3.5% to 3.75%. The move follows rate cuts of that size in September and October, which were the first of the year. Policymakers have been tracking economic data showing a slowdown in the labor market in recent months as companies adjust to shifts in trade and immigration policy. Meanwhile, inflation has trended higher as tariff-related price hikes filter through the economy. Those dynamics have put the Fed in a difficult spot as it looks to fulfill its dual mandate goals of stable prices in line with the 2% long-run target for inflation as well as promoting maximum employment.Trump has sensed the dissatisfaction and the complaint that he's too focused on foreign policy. He's now on tour pushing his Make America Affordable Again agenda.
President Trump began his affordability tour in northeastern Pennsylvania on Tuesday, telling supporters he's focused on one thing -- driving prices down nationwide. Steering clear of insider chatter about political fallout or what the pundits say Republicans "should" be worried about, Trump framed the stop as the opening salvo of a national push to restore economic sanity. "I have no higher priority than making America affordable again," he told supporters, hammering Democrats for driving prices higher and insisting his policies are already reversing the trend. "They caused the high prices, and we're bringing them down. It's a simple message." ... On energy, Trump pointed to what he called "the greatest amount of drilling" and fuel production the country has seen in years -- a supply boost he credits for driving oil prices down. "When energy comes down, your other prices come down," he said, arguing that lower fuel and shipping costs ripple across grocery aisles, construction, and manufacturing. Trump also previewed what he cast as immediate relief coming on January 1, when key provisions from his Big Beautiful Bill take effect. "We're putting thousands of dollars in the pockets of hard-working Pennsylvanians," he said. "No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors." He blasted the "four years of disaster" under the Biden administration, reminding the crowd that inflation hit 9.1% on Biden's watch and insisting that Democrats have no credibility lecturing anyone about affordability. "When Biden and congressional Democrats had power, they blew up our economy, sent prices soaring," he said. "Now they want to take us right back to Bidenomics."He also got the UK to drop artificial drug price controls, which will allow him in turn to reduce tariffs on imported British drugs, thus reducing some drug prices in America.
Under the terms of the deal, the U.K. will relax its artificial drug price controls, and in return the U.S. will refrain from imposing tariffs on British medicines, pharmaceutical ingredients and medical devices. That constitutes a win/win for both nations. For decades, America has led the world in drug innovation, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all new medicines introduced to the world annually. That's the direct result of our greater emphasis on free markets and protection of intellectual property (IP) -- patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets -- compared to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, over time that has cultivated a "free rider" problem vis-a-vis the rest of the world. ... Simply put, for too long Americans have disproportionately subsidized the world's drug innovation pipeline.
President Trump's top priority is to create a STRONG economy for ALL Americans. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/lpnuoRx0Wu
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) December 10, 2025
The rule is that the public forms its final opinions about the economy six months before an election. Trump doesn't have much time to change the public's mind about the economy in time for November 2026.

So in today's NRO Morning Jolt by Jim Geraghty, he said Trump's affordability message (in last night's PA speech) was: buy less dolls. Kids don't need so many dolls. These NRO guys seem to nitpick everything Trump says.

Like the next time they buy whatever.
But Democrat increases in the same vein are... "transitory." In that it will take some undetermined number of months/years to see some change that benefits them.
The sad part? A lot of the public are willing to wait for 10, 20 or 100 years.
As long as the Democrats are in charge.

That is worth explaining - American companies develop the drug, for say $10 billion. They need to make $10 billion + back to make it worthwhile. They also only have 10-15 years of patent protection before the drug is available for generics, so they have to make that back quick.
They calculate out how many doses they are likely to sell, divided by $10 billion, and figure out what they can sell the drug per dose. Say it is $50.
Along comes Great Briton, with socialized medicine. They say, we won't pay $50 a dose, we'll pay $10. Also, if you don't give it to us for $10, we'll not uphold the patent, and give away the formula to anyone, and get it as a generic for $10 anyway. So, GB gets if for $10. The drug companies then raise the cost for Americans to $90/dose, to cover what GB didn't pay. And so on. It's WHY drugs cost less in other countries - they force Americans to pay the full freight for development. If every country paid a little more for new drugs, we would pay a LOT less.

We just had the best Black Friday spending in history. Sometimes we are guilty of believing the bullshit the media puts out.
The reason we are in this mess is because Biden decided to crush the power production capability while simultaneously flooding the economy with billions for the idiotically named Inflation Reduction Act and other out of control spending on green energy and other doomed projects.
Trump's team has been working on this stuff. We didn't get falling gas prices by magic. But it takes time not just for policies to kick in but also for perceptions to kick in. We'll see where we are in a few months.

Trump has reduced inflation to its historical norm but to reduce prices would require significant deflation which I don't think he will do.
But he should be making the point that Biden gave trillions to immigrants and that's why many thing cost double what they did in 2019.

The inflation started after a year of subsidy spending with checks to everybody, supply chain shocks causing shortages, and then another trillion more of spending.
It was an usual set of coinciding circumstances that caused it all, which is why the inflation hit so quickly as opposed to the inflation of the 70s - early 80s which was a slow burn due to excessive government spending on Vietnam and social spending increases with the Great Society.

Removal of illegals. That would tend to drive unemployment down. It would also depress prices for things like housing (2 million less people need 500,000 fewer houses), but also might increase inflation, since Americans need to be paid more than illegals to do the same jobs.

More houses to buy at better earnings to cost ratio. Lower monthly payment because of lower interest.

Same with all small business which is hardest hit by high interest and at same time is biggest job creator.

Who said that? But the reality is Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have a low rate of savings. There is no incentive to save at all. It’s been a ticking time bomb like the 20’s with so much outstanding credit.

Once again, you are only looking at one element of a large complex system. Any first year economics student knows that increasingly the money supply while doing nothing else will increase inflation. But Trump's team is not just pushing for lower rates.
They are also reducing government spending. They are making lower energy prices possible. They are removing millions of illegals that drive demand. They are going after the meat processing cartel that is adding to increase prices for meat. And on and on.
I feel pretty comfortable that Bessent and team aren't idiots and understand the complexities of our economy far better than I do. This is not W's or Obama's team running the country and its kind of silly to pretend it is just because of interest rates.

Yep. The interest rates were essentially irrelevant because the people getting the loans had no idea what they were doing. All they saw was ZERO DOWN and were told that "real estate always goes up" so they could just keep pulling "equity" out of their home forever.

Lot of liars and AI slop on YT along with hair on fire to get clicks. Basically gold does better as a shield, not as a replacement, against inflation as a commodity. Classic hedge. It is awful to hold when deflation takes place and that is what is occurring in China right now, Russia, on the other hand is selling all it mines and perhaps more due to fiscal problems. Neither are big silver buyers. India has a traditional of silver and gold jewelry being used as a hedge against uncertainty and booming economy means more demands there.
Silver has a weird relationship with gold in that it tracks gold sometimes and sometimes not.
But in this case, I think it is a classic short squeeze like what happened on Gamestop. Hedge funds trading naked silver contracts without the means to cover them. Been rumored that big metal traders have been naughty that way.

I had a single E4 get two mortgages on two different houses during that period without any paperwork other than her LES. Fact was she could not afford either house but got high pressured into buying both as investment properties with zero down.
She was told that if she kept them for 6-8 months and made the minimum interest only payments she could sell them for way more than she bought them for. She lost that bet and also lost both houses and pretty much destroyed her credit rating for the next 30 years.

While fake credentials have pissed on the idea of expertise, never the less, it exists and a priest is not a specialist in the economy anymore than a parishioner an expert in theology.
Skeptical to experts that proclaim things that do not make common sense; but willing to accept expertise after testing the expert. A true expert usually has some modesty in predictions, caveats, backfilling, etc. A carny expert does not.

It was driven by Clinton's CRA. Basically if the fed came in and your loan portfolio didn't match local demographics, you were accused of discrimination.
Thus, bad loans were made to meet the criteria. More loans led to more demand led to more bad loans and increased prices which were fueled by bad loans.

The hardest one to read is Mirror Dance, it is downright brutal. Start with Warrior's Apprentice, A Civil Campaign or Captain Vorpatril's Alliance to get your toes wet. She is as good a prosist as David Drake, but they are like Drake was writing Restoration novels.

We don't have good multinational economic models because the complexity is beyond economic theory nowadays. I suspect federal deficits spending drives the inflation more than Fed reserve moves do in the US in the near term. And drop in interest rates means that US drops the deficit by refinancing to take advantage of it.
Yellen left a Treasury mess where the Feds shifted to selling short term treasuries to refinance the debt rather than the more expensive 10 year or longer. Probably 80-100 billion out of nearly a trillion bucks paid in interest for FY 2025 was due to Yellen's bullshit attempts to hide the magnitude of Democrats' wasteful spending.
Long run, the debt in the West will be monetized one way or another. You may see several defaults but Japan's Central Bank has been the leader in way out there debt to GDP ratio and now China is challenging for the title.

I have been watching Argentina go from the brink of another hyperinflation and national default to being able to keep their head above water economically and have a balanced budget. THAT was managing a soft landing.

I don't put much truck in quarter percent changes in the prime rate, but I do think reindustrialization and getting rid of the drag the welfare state is forcing on us will help more. and I am willing to hold my nose and agree the change in rate was a signal moment.

There has been a short market in silver for a long time. Too many banks and hedge funds would go under if they were forced to deliver on short contracts. When gold collapses and takes silver with it, there will be a whole lot of traders going down.

Iran May Abandon Its Capital Tehran Due to Severe Water Shortage
"I didn't do nuffin'," emails God.
This story has been brewing for a while. It's a glacially slow news day, so I'll post it.Tehran may be forced to evacuate due to a severe water crisis, with experts warning that all taps in the city could soon run dry. Officials say that the Iranian capital is facing a Day Zero moment in the near future -- when all water supplies run out.I like that, So Dramatic.
God is sitting back, filing His nails.
Iran has faced severe drought for six years, with Tehran's rainfall in the first two months of the current water year, which begins on 1 October, at near zero, leaving reservoir supplies at dangerously low levels. Officials in Tehran have undertaken a number of measures, including reducing water pressure, discussing rationing and imposing cuts. They have also suggested more radical solutions, such as evacuation or moving the capital if rain does not return. "We are talking about a few days or even weeks of water left for Tehran," Kaveh Madani, director of the UN's University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, told Canada's CBC broadcaster. "Day Zero, as we call it in the water sector, is near. It's a day that the taps would run dry." In early November, Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian warned: "If it doesn't rain in Tehran by late November, we'll have to ration water. And if it still doesn't rain, we'll have to evacuate Tehran." Typically, rain should start falling in Iran in autumn, following Iran's hot summer. But the September to November period just gone is the driest the country has seen in half a century, the National Weather Forecasting Centre has reported. Rainfall has been 89 per cent below the long-term average.
This is interesting -- Tehran's reservoirs are apparently administered by LA Mayor Karen Bass. Who knew. I've heard about a lot of Impending Disasters and most of them didn't pan out. So I'm not anticipating an abandonment of the capital. Jewish Space Weather Control Lasers Making the deserts bloom and making blooms into deserts for 60 years.
Mr Pezeshkian described the situation as "extremely critical", citing reports that Tehran's dam reservoirs have fallen to their lowest level in 60 years, some as low as 10 per cent of capacity. Officials say that in the east of Tehran, the Latyan Dam -- one of five key reservoirs -- is only about 9 per cent full. The Karaj dam, which supplies a quarter of Tehran's drinking water, is 8 per cent full.

"Only hot chicks" is as valid an immigration policy as anything else I've seen proposed over the last 40 years of my life.
The idea of accepting limitless poor young males and then put them on welfare isn't your cup of tea?

There was also no real bad guy. Gabriel (played very well by the underrated Esai Morales) disappeared for long stretches of the movie. The AI didn't do much but exist as some threat somewhere out there, but never interacted with the characters or tried to thwart their plans. Like a monster movie where Godzilla is attacking Tokyo, but the movie takes place in NY.

That's what Rome did when the Sabines didn't marry their daughters to the ruffians.
There is something odd with that story as the Sabine women then tried to reconcile their new Roman husbands with their Sabine families.
One theory I've had - the Romans started as brigands at a convenient river crossing and when they converted to just charging a "tax" on merchant instead of pillaging them they became rich...

Tehran has been expanding incredibly over the last 30 years, and much of this has been low income poorly built development. Large areas that used to allow water to percolate down to recharge the aquifers have been paved over; green areas that could discharge moisture to help cloud formation have all been built over. In short, the government has turned what was once a slightly dry area into a complete desert.
This is why everything today is "below average"; they've wrecked the local environment that kept those averages up.

Yes growing up our little creek had several bad almost floods. They kept calling them 100 year floods tho there were about 5 of them. They'd built huge lots for department stores upstream, a huge interstate berm, and mounded up one side about 30 foot for apartments, then built a culvert road over it by the school. When a big thunderstorm dropped stuff upstream it hit the improvised dam hard.

Second, this means that when the crisis hits, and it will, those 9.7 million people are likely to go berserk, and the Iranian government will fall.
Why do I assume they won't fix anything in time? Because the Mullah's government is both totally incompetent, and even worse stuck in the mindset of "well Allah will provide a miracle for us."

They need a revamp on the entire system of water management, top to bottom. And funny enough, Israel is absolutely the best country on earth to advise them on how to do this. Shame they are a bitter enemy.

"Iran's water crisis is going from bad to worse as the Taliban's Pashdan Dam on the Hari River threatens the city of Mashhad's main water supply. Despite longstanding agreements, Iran's water share is being cut off. Experts blame both the Taliban's disregard for neighbors' rights and Tehran's failure to act on warnings."

1) The distribution system is leaky.
2) Rapid population growth and development over critical water management areas.
3) Growing the wrong sort of food with the wrong methods.
4) Total lack of conservation and recycling.
There is no scientific fact that indicates climate change has been the main cause of the water bankruptcy in Iran on a national scale.

The Caspian is closest, but there's a big mountain range and the sea there may not be in great shape itself. The Aral sea has had issues with drying up. Probably the answer is all of the above, desalinization and canals and dispersal. It should keep them busy
There are also periodic massive quakes in that part of the world to consider.

2. Build a 140 to 150km pipeline (or a multitude of pipelines) from the plants to Tehran.

If the water is low-enough in salt, it can be pumped into a water treatment plant to make it potable. The issue probably has to do with preventing bacteria and virii from multiplying in it.

The days when every Afghan was a master marksman are long gone. After the Soviets flooded the country with Kalashnikovs, the Afghans adopted the standard hip-shooting mag dump marksmanship just like every other mohammedan in the world.
Same thing with the more sophisticated equipment. There's a handful of Afghans who can be truly dangerous with it, but the majority are illiterate donkey-fucking savages who can't shoot for shit. The danger with all of that Biden-gifted equipment is that they'll sell it to someone who can actually use it: meaning, non-mohammedan infidels

"When's the last time you did something extremely ordinary like go to Target or CVS?"
Musk responded:
"I can't go to things where there's the general public because I'm there, there's an immediate, can I have a selfie line that forms, and these days, particularly in light of Charlie Kirk's murder, there are serious security issues. It's not that I don't want to. I simply can't."
Miller then asked:
"Has Charlie's murder changed how you do things or were you already locked down pretty well before that?"
Musk responded:
"It certainly reinforced the severity of the situation where life is on hardcore mode. You make one mistake, and you're dead, and it only takes one mistake."

On one of Iran's rivers, the government built a dam, to 'manage' the water and create a reservoir. The land that the new reservoir covered was a salt flat. Which then turned the reservoir into a salt-water lake. The government actively turned a healthy (or at least usable) river into an un-usable salt lake. It's no surprise that the situation has gotten this bad...

Justice Ketanji D-EI: The President Must Defer to the Unelected "Experts" Who Should Really Run Our Lives for Us
Ketanji D-EI doesn't bother hiding her Marxist disdain for the popular vote, preferring all powers to be held by a, let's say, Revolutionary Vanguard of some kind.
I called this from before the election. The Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) began a propaganda campaign to convince the country that while the GOP won all three official branches of government, there was a Secret Fourth Branch of Government -- the permanent left-wing bureaucracy -- which Akshually had the power to overrule the other three branches of government and run the country. Needing some power center in government, they're willing an independent, permanent, unelected, unaccountable fourth branch of government into existence. We heard the same thing under George W. Bush. Locked out of the government, the communist Democrat Party and the media (but I repeat myself again) insisted that it was unfair of Bush to fire Clinton's US Attorneys because those Attorneys had a constitutional duty to check Bush's power. They also insisted the DOJ should be "independent" of the actual President and his appointed-and-confirmed AG. It's always the same playbook. As soon as Democrats get a political rebuke, they assert that the unelected, nigh-unfirable federal bureaucracy is the Real Legitimate Government of the country. There is no "fourth branch of government," as Gorsuch instructed Ketanji D-EI.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used Tuesday's Trump v. Slaughter arguments to float a genuinely stunning view of executive power -- one where the president of the United States couldn't fire the very people serving inside his own government. The case itself centers on whether President Trump had the authority to remove former FTC commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a long-standing restriction on presidential oversight of so-called independent agencies. Jackson argued that scientists, economists, doctors, and other agency "experts" should be insulated from presidential authority entirely, claiming that allowing a president to fire them is "not in the best interest" of Americans. Her exchange with U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer made her philosophy unmistakable. Jackson questioned why these agencies answer to the president at all, saying she didn't understand why they aren't effectively controlled by Congress instead. "Congress established them and can eliminate them," she said -- a remarkable suggestion that the legislative branch, not the president, should control vast stretches of the executive branch. She then laid out the scenario she fears: a president firing "all the scientists, and the doctors, and the economists, and the PhDs" and replacing them with loyalists. In her view, that hypothetical alone justifies limiting a president's removal power across agencies that shape everything from transportation regulation to monetary policy. Sauer pushed back, arguing that her position flips the Constitution on its head. Allowing unelected boards to operate beyond presidential control, he warned, "subjugates" the separation of powers. The president isn't a spectator -- he's the elected official charged with running the executive branch, not rubber-stamping decisions made by bureaucrats no voter ever chose.
SCOTUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson told the Court that presidents should not be able to fire the PhDs & experts who run the government. She even argued presidents should avoid control over transportation & the economy.

Ketanji lost it today during oral arguments and went on a “No Kings” style rant about President Trump wanting to rule like a monarch, and how we should instead have many issues handled by “the experts and PhDs” like Dr. Fauci, Dr. “Rachel” Levine, and the gay bondage AIDS dude. pic.twitter.com/Z8qFZgZzsR

To be clear this specifically was the founder's vision. The president, as head of the executive, is ultimately responsible for everything the executive does and therefore can and should replace personal as needed.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used Tuesday's Trump v. Slaughter arguments to float a genuinely stunning view of executive power -- one where the president of the United States couldn't fire the very people serving inside his own government. The case itself centers on whether President Trump had the authority to remove former FTC commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a long-standing restriction on presidential oversight of so-called independent agencies.

The founder's model said no - that interactions with federal employees should be rare and the federal government should have little impact on people's lives outside of questions around war and peace.

What they completely miss is that capitalists live in a world of voluntary transactions, where their ideas and products must compete and win, and the value they provide must be at worst equal to the cost they impose.
Government is not voluntary; it is backed by force, lethal force it necessary, and their transactions are guided by politics or worse. The last people you want making decisions that impact your life are government 'experts'.

"Vanguard of the Proletariat" is a Leninist concept -- the theory being that the great mass of ignorant people are too stupid to run things themselves, and would only elect equally stupid reporesentatives, so need a self-appointed "vanguard" (i.e. the communist elite) to run things on their behalf.
This is the principle that guided the Soviet Union for 70 years.

Steel starts to become plastic starting 1500 degrees f.
Aviation fuel burns in a combustion chamber at 1796 to 2732 F. The 100th floor of the WTC was an impromptu combustion chamber. It certainly got hot enough long enough, with the weight of a plane added in to deform and fail the supports. From there it is gravity and physics. Gravit is pushing the top ten floors down on floor 99. It fails and they all fall on 98, it fails. And so on. Stop with thermite and controlled demolition.

The liberal worldview really is an "ends justify the means" place. Sure, making these agencies isn't supported by the Constitution and rules establishing how our government is structured, but we think it will do good, so it should be allowed.
Remember, this bitch is the one that accused the conservative majority of "playing Calvinball" with the law.

Conservatives pushed back and (correctly) argued that these agencies were creating an unelected, unaccountable, partisan shadow government that would effective run the entire country. And contrary to Ebony Kangz claim that these people are smart experts, they are in fact DEI retards and hardcore leftwing fudgepacks.
But no matter, the courts blessed this scheme and continued piling on powers to agencies (Chevron). Now, we are here, where there's an issue whether the President can fire someone in his own branch of government. It's like a controversy whether Elon Musk can fire a janitor working for Tesla.

It's what that new precedent will bring.
Because, if the high holy experts, cloaked in the fine robes of impartiality, having utmost fealty to the People alone, blessed to their office by Congress itself, can be fired, what chance does the lowly regular employee have?
Because the reasoning for the upcoming opinion will, by the same kind, demand that all the civil service protection laws also be found unconstitutional.
Or, simply, the federal government will return to the usual order of the first 150+ years:
At will employment.

And remember, it doesn't even have to become plastic to fail...just get it hot enough to weaken below the point where it can hold up the weight above it and disaster happens. It's why the second WTC building fell first; hit at a much lower floor, so more weight, less weakening of the steel before it couldn't bear the weight above it anymore.

I recall there was a lot of crying, whining, and boo-hooing from the useless dead weight Elon rightfully shitcanned, and the media ate it up, but otherwise not much else. IIRC.
It didn't help the employees' cause that half of them had jobs like "Assistant to the Assistant for Unsupervised Conjugal Visits" that had nothing to do with anything Twatter did.

The only time I never voted was when some a$$hole stole my identity and voted in my place, I will never figure out why he did that.
They let me fill out a provisional ballot but pretty much told me that my vote would not be counted unless the police found the guy who stole my identity and I came back within 30 days and filed a report. It took me quite a bit or time to sort that one out.

She's just a bad choice. Biden probably just nodded along, but that's enough in our government. The Constitution doesn't include a "presidents are president unless they are really stupid" clause.

That's optimistic. The Republicans are baking in the cheat now with voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc. They're pulling out all the stops to retain power. Sounds familiar...
They will then use some 15th century logic to say actually if you're a specific political party you can't fire Independent agency heads. Rules for me and not for thee
If any Dems in 2028 run on returning to the "Norms" I am going to lose my shit. They better be firing everyone and filing charges on everyone period.

We need to extend ot the IQ scale past zero into the negative numbers.
If your IQ is 150, you're really smart.
If your IQ is 100, you're average.
If your IQ is 50, you're really really stupid.
If your IQ is 0, you know absolutely nothing - you're like a rock or a plant.
If your IQ is minus-50, you falsely imagine that you have knowledge and wisdom, but everything you "know' is the opposite or true.
If your IQ is minus-100, you might seem on the surface like an average person, but in reality you are an anti-human, with an in-born ability to fundamentally misunderstand everything.
If your IQ is minus-150, you are a leftist.

I don't suppose there's a quick and easy way to fire a justice like Ketamine Brown -
if they show no understanding of the Constitution, nor an inclination to rule in accordance to the plain written words of the Constitution even if they did actually understand it.
Is there any reason that we need the viewpoint of a communist retard in the Supreme Court?
I can't think of one. Perhaps y'all can.

I believe SCOTUS justices have pressured other jurists to retire, but that's a backdoor, unofficial thing.
The only official thing is impeachment, and I doubt there are 30 votes to do it in the Senate.

Fractional banking is how much banks can loan out as determined by how much they have in deposits.
That's the definition of fractional banking.
Lowering interest rates doesn't affect that.

And yeah, up to half of the supposed 'Republican' members of the 'conservative' majority Supreme Court are closet liberals. But that's not much different than how things are in the Legislative branch. As you've said before, we're just handicapped by the 'conservative' judges believing in the rule of law, while leftist judges believe in "For my enemies (the Right), the law; for my friends (the Left), everything!" We need our judges to embrace the Leftist precedent of subjective legal weaponization, just in the other direction. Until the Left cries uncle and we can get back to the rule of law... But before that happens, there is no rule of law, there's just war. And we weren't the ones who made things that way. We just need to accept it...

I want to believe you. I do in part. But I wonder if it really does that - or if people really care. It's been pretty obvious to me my whole life where the progressives want to take us.
But are we at risk of making this something worthy of an argument? A case like this should be decided in a week with a one page opinion. That makes it clear. Instead, Trump will win 6-3 in a 100 page opinion that doesn't get released until next summer. The process makes it appear that there may be a legitimate debate between the two - when there is no argument for the progressive side.

I believe most of the damage done during his administration was those in his inner circle doing what they pleased pushing whatever marxist ideology they wanted, autopen be damned.

Here's the problem with that. Congress accepted the slate of EC votes which said that Biden was President. It doesn't matter, at all, how that slate was selected... only that it was accepted by Congress.
You could, I suppose, argue that the Congress which accepted the Biden electors was, themselves, improperly elected, but that would require proving malfeasance on part of, at least, several states.
And what if you did prove that? You could undo the laws they'd passed. You could remove the appointees. But all the money spent would still be spent. All the illegals brought in would still be here. All the people killed by their decisions would still be dead.

I think Trump and co could, and should, move forward with charging Fauci. Though I'd start with Hunter. And specifically don't charge Hunter with the crimes he was being prosecuted for when Biden pardoned him - either big statutory rape or malfeasance based on his Ukraine payola - not the gun charges.

Also he's gotten the air traffic controller's tech updated with copper and other things in record time. Pete said it would take years and it's been months. This is what happens when you hire competent people !

It is. The United States Supreme Court consists of nine justices: one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. This number has been fixed since 1869, when Congress established the current size of the Court through the Judiciary Act of 1869.
Which means, if someone were to get rid of the filibuster, the size of the court could be increased by 218 members of the House, 50 Senators (plus the VP), and a willing President. But they'd still have to pass a law to do it.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Officials have identified some of the more than 300 piles of cremated remains located in the desert outside of Las Vegas.
Investigators with Nexstar’s KLAS first reported the discovery of more than 100 piles of cremated remains in August. The person who found the ashes said he stumbled on the piles on July 28 in a desert area outside of Searchlight, a rural community about an hour south of the Las Vegas valley.
Investigators think the remains could be from a commercial funeral business that closed or changed owners, but officials have not named any suspects.

There reverse is true too: "Your side is wrong, therefore people on your side are dumb." That's a form of underestimating your enemy. Never underestimate your enemy.
There are some smart people on the other side. They may espouse bad or even stupid policies, but that's not because they're dumb. Some people seem to think that whenever a leftist denies being able to define a woman, that means they literally can't define a woman. Of course they know what a woman is. Duh. They are saying they can't define a woman because leftist dogma requires them too.

Sure sure lots of reasons for this, in the modern era the political branches have allowed/hoped for/been thrilled with effectively delegating their power to the judiciary so that controversial decisions carry no accountability. This delegation probably exceeds the improper delegation to the unelected bureaucracy, in impact.
And now we see the full (? heh, hopefully?) flowering of this judicial usurpation and lawlessness, under Trump II. About the only thing left is for a "court" to countermand an order from the CinC through the SecWar to a military unit in the field.

Law says bank must hold 10%.
Bank loans 90 to some other guy. The first guy still has 100 dollars on deposit. The second guy goes and spends hia 90. So 100 dollars just became 190.
Th 90 dollar loan gets spent and that winds up in some other bank. They loan 81 dollars. Process repeats.
The process isnt just one bank. It the whole economy.

So you have to divide the judiciary's damage to the country between 1) things properly within their ambit, which is a tiny fraction of what's been going on for a century+, and 2) things they have no business even talking about, due to lack of constitutional role, authority, and substantive competence.

She was a terrible hire for the dems - she moves no one towards her argument. She forces Sotomayor and Kagan to vote with her for ideological reasons, not because of the soundness of her arguments. Not one of the 6 "conservative" justices hears a word she says. When the dems regain the presidency and the Senate they should get her impeached so they can put a much better replacement in her place.

Yep. And the deposit is still 100.and they guy who got the loan has 90. Thats 190. The money multiplier. His 90 gets spent and winds up in another bank. They loan 81 dollars. Etc. That 100 dollars creates 900 dollars. ( THERE IS A FORMULA here using 10% reserve). So more loans, more money. High interest less loans. That said.

The plane to building momentum transfer is weak because the structure between beams has very low strength. So momentum is gradually transferred as it penetrates and friction stops it and light crap inside is knocked aside. If a firm spot is hit, the plane itself breaks up as well.

The local banks don't borrow from each other and from the Fed Discount Window to cover loans?
IIRC, and I am not an expert, deposits are not the sum of the amount the banks loan on, and the fractional reserve required both is from the deposits and the loans the banks incur to cover loans they make.
This was one of the ways the local bank went under in the late 60's, unable to cover its loans when a bunch of small companies defaulted on their business loans due to a recession.

Well not really. Lower rates increase loans. More money in the bank increases the amount of money the bank can hypothetically loan. But they wont be doing as many loans at 12% interest as they do at 3.5% see for example the real world. We might be talking past each other. 🤷♂️

And.the loaned money ends up in some other bank as a deposit eventually. So lower interest rates, stimulates loans, which through the money multipler leads eventually to increased deposits. There is a relationship.

Under OUR Constitution, We loan that Power to a single Chief Executive, chosen in Honest Elections–which are also our Sovereign Property.
Therefore, executive agency heads are subject to that chosen Executive. Otherwise, we have no control over our own Government, and the Political Power of those officers is untethered from the People.
Which is called “Tyranny”.
