Poor dog depressed about the passing of his dog-sister smiles again when he meets his new rescue-dog brother. It's raining monkeys. Raven steals the cat's food to give it to the dog. Stella the stray dog is rescued -- and it's discovered she has something lodged in her stomach she can't digest, so she can't eat and can't poop. She would have died within days, but for one concerned man's intervention. When a dog is caught chewing on a family picture, the two cats swarm in to cover up the crime. The cats have nothing to gain from this. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Baby bear found alone on the road. Moose drops by for a visit. Clumsy baby elephant wakes up from a nap. This might be his first or second time on his feet. Baby and husky puppy grow up together. "New Zoo Review" intro. "Great Space Coaster" intro. Plus: "Gary Gnu" with the Gnus.

"MASCULINITY IS BACK," Says Gay Liberal Media, In Transparent Attempt to Win Back Male Voters Who Aren't Gay or "Trans"
Via Beege Wellborne: Steve Jobs' widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic announces "MASCULINITY IS BACK," but only for Democrats pretending to be masculine.
Actually-masculine Republican men, those who aren't just pretending as they run for office, are still Toxic and Ick.Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. "There's nothing wrong with being masculine," Poindexter told me. It's okay, he said, to be "a manly man." Poindexter's own manliness credentials are fully in order.Yeah I'm sure to a gay media writer he seems super-manly.
... Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men.You can tell this guy is really an advocate for men when he declares there's nothing wrong with the Democrat agenda: They just need to "message" to men better.
The party-wide reckoning that Trump's win spawned has centered in part on why Democrats lost working-class men whose life experiences resemble Poindexter's--and how the party can win them back. In Poindexter's view, Democrats' struggles with men like him owe less to policy than to culture. "It's all vibes," he said."Vibes" is something leftwing women like Kamala Harris talk about. Men talk about actual policies and results. You are kinda gay, dude. You are very effeminate. And you're claiming that the Democrats' Pink Agenda just needs a splash of blue paint to cover it up and it will be "For the Men." You're not proposing actual changes -- just "bluewashing" the Democrat anti-male agenda.
... Critiques such as Poindexter's have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats' effort to "win back the manosphere."Democrat Party operatives call you to pitch you propaganda stories would be helpful to them? No shit. I never would have guessed.
The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who "are engaging culturally in male spaces"--a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean "manly men," or perhaps "guy's guys," but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party's problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn't describe himself as "engaging culturally in male spaces."No, the whole idea of "spaces" is, get this, something leftwing women babble about. In case you weren't already certain enough of it: The piece admits this is all a political con-job by having their "Masculine Manly-Man" declare that the Democrat Party doesn't need any actual ideas from men to support men and in fact nothing in the Democrat Party agenda is anti-male. It's just perception, man. Like your sex. It's all a construct.
For the most part, Poindexter and the other men Democrats are running this year aren't offering up any new male-centric ideas. That's not what's needed, Poindexter told me. Within the party's agenda, he said, "I can't think of a single piece of legislation that's bad for men." But, he argued, Democrats have hemorrhaged support from men like him--the ones who sweat more than type for a living--because the party has relegated them to the periphery.This is the left-wing, extremely feminine idea of "centering." It's not that men are actually being harmed by anti-male policies, this faggot is arguing -- it's just that we don't feel "centered" and "included" in Democrat Party group-photos. But the propagandist finishes on The Big Takeaway s/he was ordered to really pound home for the masses:
If nothing else, Democrats are embracing their masculinity again, and they'll soon find out whether that's enough to win men back.Oh yeah, they're so masculine now I can't even take it. What is really creepy here is how top-down this disgusting leftwing hive mind operates. Their political commissars say "We have to do something to attract some straight men" and within months, all of their media organs are pumping out the same message. It's like an alien cult. All of their brains are connected by invisible amoeba-tentacles. Meanwhile, at the New York Times, a woman wonders: Why don't men at my workplace hit on me any longer?
Go On, Date Your Co-Workers July 6, 2026This is how they describe the picture running with the article:
Karens are lonely and horny and so they're announcing that men should brave lawsuits and #cancellation to f*** them again. Don't bother, they're bad at sex. They're bad at pretty much everything.
A strangely-shaped paper clip reminiscent of Mickey Mouse's head holds down a piece of metal, studded at its sides; a photo, almost like a postage stamp in shape and resting upon the piece of metal, shows two birds fornicating. A brass, more standard paper clip sits upon the metal, as does, above and off the metal, another. The birds are blue and yellow, the hazy background green fading into orange. All is a metaphor for corporate drudgery interrupted by the subtle eroticism of nature.
Gee, why do you think that is, NYT? Can you offer any kind of explanation? Maybe something to do with a all-consuming moral panic you stoked and profited from?
Last year I developed an office crush. My friends warned me against doing anything about it, typically using a crude metaphor about keeping your eating space clean. Dating people you work with just seems like too much trouble these days. It's not that people aren't attracted to Jack in client relations with the smile lines and overzealous David Lynch obsession; it's that it feels as if the risk outweighs the reward. But a return to office romance could be the solution to the sense many people have that modern dating is broken. Dating apps ask us to consider potential romantic partners not as full human beings with a caffeine addiction and tension-defusing sense of humor but as a set of optimized digital parameters. Only 16 percent of U.S. workers went on a date with a colleague last year, down from about 40 percent in 2009.
Workplace crushes -- a surefire way to inject excitement into office mundanity -- have waned, too, with the share of workers reporting one collapsing from 49 percent in 2024 to just 22 percent in 2025, according to a human resources industry group survey. The decline has been decades in the making. While about one-fifth of adults over 50 said they met their partners at work, just 13 percent of those 18 to 29 said the same. Of course, workplace romance was always fraught, with its legacy of predatory bosses, favoritism and, when things went wrong, career retaliation. Years of sexual harassment training and more watchful human resources departments taught us not to go there. (About a quarter of workers now fear harassment allegations, one industry survey found.) But where else in adulthood except the office would you bond with a potential paramour you share so much of everyday life with?Below, the Masculine Manly-Man running for office as a Democrat that The Atlantic is ordering its readers to get behind.
I’m Brian Poindexter - I’m a union ironworker, and I’m running for Congress because working people's lives keep getting harder and harder while billionaires keep getting richer and richer.

I thought that blacks used the name "Becky" to make fun of white women.
Posted by: Community Notes at July 15, 2026 05:39 PM (PVBkQ)
'Becky' was 'basic' -- which is to say, exhibiting White culture. It was aimed at young and single women, who could be made to feel self-conscious and insecure.
'Karen' was assertive, wanting to speak to your manager. It was aimed at soccer moms and middle-aged women, those with the confidence to stick up for themselves, to flip it on them and use it against them.

They calculated they don’t need working class or blue collar, rednecks, males, hillbillies, pro-life democrats and on and on and on.
They very publicly said “Fuck You, We Don’t Need You!” in so many words. So be it.

Man comes in to identify a body, cop lift the sheet.
Man looks at the face, start crying uncontrollably.
"Were you and your wife close ?"
"No, we hated each other !"
"Then , why are you crying ??"
"This is not my wife..."

A 28-year-old man has died after being hit by a tractor-trailer while fleeing “an encounter” with ICE agents in Florida, officials say.
This is the second ICE-related fatality this week and the third since a small-business owner was killed in Houston on July 7.

His business was shade tree pharmacist and who was driving that tractor trailer anyway?

What's up with The Atlantic? Has anybody noticed the aggressive PR war the magazine has launched againt the DSA in the last month? - specifically after the recent DSA wins?
I’ve been convinced The Atlantic has consistently been on the conservative end of the Democratic Party. The New York Times isn’t much better.
David Brooks? The David Brooks who once described himself as a "recovering conservative?" Who laundered the Iraq War and defended torture.
David Brooks is truly a professional wrongman. It's remarkable that, for every claim he makes, the opposite is true. That's honestly impressive to be for 0-2854 on takes.
The Atlantic is controlled opposition. They have always been a shit rag.
People want the DSA. Get with it or get out of the way.
They wrote so many hit pieces on Graham Platner. Like one every other day. It seemed excessive at the time. So I guess now they’re taking a victory lap?

I met DH when I was his boss. I was an architect, he was a draftsman. I fixed him up with my upstairs neighbor. After they went on a date, she asked me why we two were not together. I said don't shit where you eat.
A month later I took a different job. A year later we were married.
I still think office romance is a bad idea, mostly for the woman, who will forever be known as the whore. But it may be worth changing jobs for. We've only been married 28 years so far.

For decades the Let had great success with coordinated messaging, especially pre-Internet when it was harder to get alternative info. Teh arrival ofn theinternet broke their "narrative monopolky," but also provioded them with many more tools to brainwadha nd trick the public.
The left has by niowngotten tos used to being able toncome out with some "frame" or "talking" point" that suddenly apears "everywhere" simultaneously that they just assume it will work.
But they overdid it so many times, and proposed such insulting and patently false narratves with ever i creasing fequency that they burned through any credibility they might have had with the piublic.
Now, the avergae person sees these kind of gimmicks, and rolls their eues and says, "Democrats are masculine?Don't make me laugh." And clicks onto the next topic.

@JustineBateman
- First comedy and satire was targeted. The elements that keep a society largely in check. - Next was masculinity. Men were shamed as "toxic" for being manly. - Then it was women who complain, and they were labeled "Karens." So if appropriate mockery is out, the most ridiculous concepts actually see the light of day. If men aren't permitted to defend what they know they should, the most harmful and dangerous concepts see the light of day. And when older women are shamed for speak against what they see as wrong, the most outrageous behavior sees the light of day. Comedy, satire, mockery, masculinity, and female wisdom. Restore it all now.
I don't know what that blasphemous little imp's secret is, but he's got one. Don't be fooled by that creepy smile on his creepy face; there's something wrong with James Talarico. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't ever want to see his browser history, and I'd sooner have somebody from The Lincoln Project babysit my kid. It's just a vibe, but there are rumors out there, and unfortunately, no one has shared the specifics with me. I don't know exactly what they are, but we have no moral obligation to default to a presumption of normality regarding Democrat Senate candidates this cycle. After all, we just lived through Der Platnerdämmerung. Is it related to his gender ambiguity? He's already famous for apologizing for his white male identity. Well, let's just say we can be pretty confident that Talarico has never beaten up or assaulted one of the many ex-girlfriends he's tried to convince us were his girlfriends. This is because, to the extent they actually ever were his girlfriends, they all look like they can kick his butt. And he looks like he might dig that. Let's call out the pink donkey in the room. There's widespread speculation that the guy is in the closet, and anybody who's lived a few years has known guys in the closet, and well, this dude gives off vibes like he's in the closet. I don't know if he's in the closet. I do know that if he is in the closet, he should have come out and been honest about who he was. If he's lying about that, what else is he lying about?All of my concerns about mentally-ill men obsessed with possessing women's bodies hanging out in women's rooms are instantly dispelled!
Keith Ellison claims straight people use 'gender-affirming care,' calls tax-funded police 'socialism' "Cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time," Ellison said.You can tell he doesn't mean it because Islamist clerics haven't issued a fatwa against him.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has come under a flurry of criticism in recent days after a pair of comments about socialism and so-called "gender-affirming care." In both cases, Ellison was attempting to stretch the meaning of both words. During a June 29 appearance on an LGBT talk show, Ellison discussed "gender-affirming care" and claimed that it is not exclusive to transgender people, saying that "cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time." Ellison explained that he believes a man using erectile dysfunction medication, a woman receiving reconstructive surgery after a double mastectomy, or a woman with hair loss wearing a wig are all practicing "gender-affirming care." ... Speaking to the talk show hosts, the attorney general argued that a double standard exists which penalizes transgender people for seeking out methods to change their appearance. Ellison said he believes this double standard is "bigotry." ... "You call the cops, guess who pays them? Your tax dollars," Ellison said. "Guess what that is? That's socialism, pal! Sorry. You don't contract for your own private police department or fire department or water inspection or public works."

Brad PolumboNotice that Candace Owens, just like a psychopathic stalker, cannot stop attempting to associate herself with the object of her obsession, Charlie Kirk. She wants the names "Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk" indelibly linked forever, as if they were married. Psychopaths often do this. Ask John Lennon's assassin about his belief that Lennon had stolen his identity and taken his place. Ben Shapiro has done some of his own mommysleuthing, and has a new theory: Did Candace Owens murdered the man she felt spurned by and was obsessed with, Charlie Kirk? Hey he's just asking questions.
@brad_polumbo Ah, yes, because if Israel wanted to kill Candace Owens, they would definitely call Charlie Kirk on the phone and ask him for permission. Then, once he says no, and they're, of course, bound by that edict, they would stage an elaborate fake assassination of HIM. That's definitely how secret government assassinations work. This level of narcissism and delusion is not even funny anymore.

@CinemaShogun
OMG 😂 Ben Shapiro mimics Candace Owens "investigation" style‼️ He's better at this than she is and unlike her he actually brought receipts. Candace has admitted that she sometimes blacks out for days on end. Goes on entire "vacations" that she doesn't even remember. Could it be possible that Candace "blacked out" for a few days while helping Tyler Robinson plan Charlie Kirk's assassination? She's never once offered to provide the metadata to prove where she was that day. And oddly enough the FBI never even tried to interview Candace so they could get her alibi. It feels like Ben Shapiro is the only one truly investigating this.
And what's up with her gay beard "husband," anyway? Just asking questions.

The Karen trope is not about the role of elder women to instruct and police younger women to teach them propriety. It is much younger, and the role of older family members and mentors in women's life was intentionally eroded by feminism in the 70s or earlier.
The modern Karen is about pseudo moral officiousness of the leftist women let loose in society.

When everyone is getting gender-affirming care, no one is getting gender-affirming care.

The kind of female wisdom she may be referring to is the kind that tells kids/teens to knock it off or don’t be foolish. Something like, say, some smarts kids at the park harassing wildlife or teen girls who think it’s cool to get blackout drunk with strangers. The “are you crazy?

well she is right about the original sense of "Karen," which was largely a black thing to make fun of white women who were complaining about the sullen service they were providing.

Cisgender heterosexual gender affirming care?
$20, same as in town.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at July 15, 2026 05:36 PM (hDe5k)
It was an invented trigger word "affirming" and "care" — pretty clear why they hijacked those words. And "gender" can mean anything in today's Heinz 57 sexual orientation playbook.
Its also total nonsense because they keep telling us that "sex" and "gender" are two different things.

The closing of the slave trade in 1808 meant that the price of a slave was high, so for most conditions were more tolerable than, say, a Roman mine. In fact it was common for a slave to 'light off' and camp outside the plantation in a swamp or wooded area for a vacation and have food smuggled to him or her by other slaves and stay there for a bit until the owner would pass the word they could come back for small or no punishment.

I got into a fairly intense discussion with an older liberal lady about why "Cake walk" was considered a racist term.
The answer I came up with, after I had a day or so to think about it, was that such activity while not being overtly subservient and fully being culturally cohesive, were still considered by radical black to be signs of being an uncle tom, and culturally accepting the world as it was instead of striving for a new, revolutionary world which would be free of the stain of slavery and culturally open to the new way of doing things that included socialism and communism.
Gone With The Wind is similar, it shows something other than what is presented in Jango or other recent movies about antebellum slavery as being violent as well as being destructive to human dignity.
Slavery, by the way, was not a social condition no matter how hard it was tried to be portrayed as such. Slavery is a legal status and has been since Rome

"Cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender-affirming care every day and all the time," Ellison said.
Uh...I supply my own gender affirming care. Jumping on a harley, cruising the shore, seeing the chicks in bikinis with their nice round titties, and thanking god I was born male is my idea of gender affirming. If I beep the horn at them, well I just affirmed their gender too. See how that works shithead? It doesn't cost the taxpayer a frigging dime.

The LAX incident I'm aware of was his infamous haircut.
I was on a plane departing LAX, and just before we pushed back from the gate, a 'ground halt' was called. to accomodate AF-1 with the Clintons. What was supposed to be a 20 minute or so delay turned into 3 and 1/2 hours. Clinton had some $400/haircut hairdresser come aboard AF-1 to coif him, and jammed up LAX for an inordinate amount of time.

They did have some shortfalls - there was a women's bread riot in Richmond once - mostly because transport broke down and, of course, each of the armies they put up was the equivalent of an extra major city plunked down on the landscape with no planning for goods distribution.

Slavery was (is) a humiliation and inhuman, and that can not be overstated.
However, work is work and we are all slaves to our need to work. Our need to eat and raise a family. Slavery in all forms mostly provided security and sustenance, and that is not nothing. You can't say that though because it sounds like apologism. Both can be true, it can be inhuman and an insult, and wrong, and also be not nearly so bad a life, especially compared to the sex slavery we see today, or the mind slavery in China, or the brutality of so many war slaves in Africa still.

Was a far better candidate. She had more experience and was well versed in the comings and goings of Washington. PDon't get it twisted, Talarico isn't a bad candidate but Crockett was far better in my opinion.
Fingers crossed, but after 30 years of hopes and disappointments, I'm not getting my hopes up too far. Remember Anne Richards 🤞
He's running against a well-known corrupt politician and he still might lose. That says more about the voters in Texas than anything else
He's an actual example of what a good Christian should sound like in politics, which is why the GOP hates him so much.

However, work is work and we are all slaves to our need to work. Our need to eat and raise a family. Slavery in all forms mostly provided security and sustenance, and that is not nothing. You can't say that though because it sounds like apologism. Both can be true, it can be inhuman and an insult, and wrong, and also be not nearly so bad a life, especially compared to the sex slavery we see today, or the mind slavery in China, or the brutality of so many war slaves in Africa still.

Interesting- well, Ghislaine’s father was long rumored to be tied to mossad, though never truly proven. Where he is buried leads a little credence to it, and he was Czech Jew. I don’t know it’s outside the realm of possibility Epstein rubbed shoulders with high level government officials from Israel. He did with high level US officials (Clintons, for example).

What Vance said:He described a "literal foreign influence campaign" funded to "tank the very deal that I was pursuing" with Iran. He specifically cited reports (including a Time magazine article) alleging that a former Trump campaign associate was paid by “certain elements within the Israeli government” to mount attacks against him and the negotiations.
aa.com.tr
Vance added that he knows “beyond a shadow of a doubt that there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to actually shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign.” He framed this as foreign interference in U.S. foreign policy, emphasized an “America First” stance (“I represent Americans first”
, and told critics pushing the campaign to “go to hell.”
jfeed.com
He also noted Israel is “losing the battle” for U.S. public opinion and positioned himself as a “moderate” on the Middle East while defending diplomacy with Iran.

We already know he dealt with ex PM Ehud Barak but the texts released were pathetic where Epstein was trying to assist Barak in dating like I think he did for Lawrence Summers (although Summers was married at the time).

Also, yes, appearing widely, straight people frequently use "gender-affirming care," though it is more commonly called "hormone replacement therapy" or "cosmetic procedures" in their communities. Because gender affirmation is about aligning your physical body with your gender identity, straight individuals utilize these treatments constantly.
And it compasses a lot, such as Low T therapy, women on estrogen/progesterone, breast augmentation (after a mastectomy), hair transplants, and facial fillers.

A bit of a red flag waving for sure, but a possibility is Vance doesn’t want an ongoing war, and I don’t think we do either. There certainly would be a vested interest by Israel to blow Iran off the map. I also could see where Israel is like, dude, we know these guys and they are not going to negotiate in any honest way. And Vance, still young and green, let’s be honest here, thinking he is going to be able to appeal to them against all odds, I mean his whole life has been against all odds.
Speaking of young and green, this was a very, very clunky way to express himself and that is unusual. But it’s not like Trump is always great here, either. Vance has said before Israel is our greater ally. He needs not forget this.

And did the construction workers do this under compulsion or were they compensated for their labor?
And how about the right-of-way itself? it once was owned by one or more landholders who (hopefully) were compensated or voluntarily donated the land, releasing title to it so that roads could be constructed.

Vance at least gave the appearance of being more personally invested in the success of the MOU than anyone else in the administration; Rubio quite pointedly refused to have anything to do with it. And to Trump, looks like it's all the same to him whether it works or fails, he'll go with however things shake out.
But Vance seems to be sore about the way it blew up in his face.

I thought that blacks used the name "Becky" to make fun of white women.
Posted by: Community Notes at July 15, 2026 05:39 PM (PVBkQ)
'Becky' was 'basic' -- which is to say, exhibiting White culture. It was aimed at young and single women, who could be made to feel self-conscious and insecure.
'Karen' was assertive, wanting to speak to your manager. It was aimed at soccer moms and middle-aged women, with the confidence to stick up for themselves, to flip it on them and use it against them.

UK "Equalities and Human Rights Commission:" People Must Use The Single-Sex Bathrooms for the Gender They Were "Assigned at Birth." Trannies Should Use Gender-Neutral Bathrooms.
This may seem pretty obvious but the left is losing its mind.
Single-sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex, new guidance from the equalities watchdog has confirmed. This means, for instance, that a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, according to the code of practice. The guidance, produced by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and now approved by ministers, makes it clear that transgender people should instead be offered a third or a gender-neutral space. The code states that leaving a trans person without access to any services or facilities would be unlikely to be proportionate and could be discriminatory. The guidance was published on Thursday following the landmark Supreme Court ruling last year that the definition of a woman under the Equality Act should be based on biological sex. The code of practice sets out how associations, businesses and services open to the public should organise their facilities. It covers a wide range of settings from shopping centres and gyms to hospitals and restaurants. The EHRC is planning to publish guidance for employers and staff facilities at a later date.
So you don't want trans-identifying males to feel threatened by the presence of other men when using communal toilets, but you're perfectly happy for women to be subjected to that same uncomfortable experience. Do you not see how illogical your argument is?

1. You're never assigned a "gender". That's a linguistic term for the rules a word follows.
2. You're never assigned a sex. Even if you want to consider XXY and XYY "different sexes" from the two categories that go on birth certificates.
As a part of your first cell coming together, you have a sex. There is no you, without the DNA you have.

I suspect the rate of female trying to be male is VERY low and they still use the women's restroom.
So, it's ONLY a male trying to be female issue. You never hear of a female trying to be male causing trouble in a men's locker room or restroom. Because it does not happen. Because men and women are different.

Sex segregated lavatories emerged because Victorian, ordered, civilized societies desired a special place for women to be protected from men as women's presence in public spaces and workplaces increased.
Fun Fact: It was Massachusetts in 1887 that first mandated by law separate toilet facilities for men and women in the workplace where both sexes were employed.

As for Owen Jones and women using the men's room, a detransitioner on X has rolled his eyes a few times and said men don't give af. Person enters room, performs biological function, leaves. No particular care about who's in there doing same.
It's not like the social ritual in the ladies' room -- adjust underwear, makeup, borrow a tampon, call an Uber to escape a nightmare date, have a quick confab with another girl about some guy in the club, etc.
So calling men in the ladies' room equal to a butch-looking female in the men's room is incorrect.

I find it's a stupid reference to the doctor who fills out the birth certificate. Because it refers to the rare times that a doctor has to do reconstructive surgery on the genitals and then in this instance assigns the sex on the BC.

Agreed, this is the worst rollback of LGBT+ rights I've seen over my lifetime, all under labour. Despite them claiming they're pro LGBT, they've harmed our whole community for years to come. I'll absolutely never forget the betrayal.
The clamp down on protesting is the icing on the cake for me. They leave no option but direct action, then simultaneously make it more risky to resist in every way, even writing some of those laws directly off the back of this.
Even if the wheel somehow turns, and cruelty briefly becomes unfashionable again, none of the people responsible for these things, and the things to come over the next decade, will ever face justice.
No doubt in about 15-20 years the then prime minister will offer a half hearted apology in parliament and that will be the end of it
Kier Starmer was a human rights lawyer, but one of the first things he did was declare he wanted to consult on trans rights with a cis woman who wrote wizard stories 20 years ago.

I dunno, lesbians are dangerous as fuck, especially in domestic violence situations. Hot waffle irons upside the face and such. But while men may present the majority of violent criminals, it is a rather small portion of men that commit the violent crimes, especially sexual crimes.

I read a long thread on X by someone who had trained cops for many years. Originally, ANY case of a man in a woman's space -- dressing room, locker room, ladies' room -- was to be considered nefarious. Not just suspicious. The guy is in there for bad purposes, no ifs ands or buts. Over the years, under political pressure and not as the result of any kind of empirical evidence, this has been watered down to virtually nothing.

MANY years ago, in the somewhat sane beforetimes, I was having a debate on a web forum where I was willing to accept the choice of sex from people who are born with genetic or other birth defects that make them apparently or actually ambiguous.

Intersex conditions or hermaphroditism are rare AF, and it's both disingenuous and stupid for the LBGTWTFPDF crew to act as if this makes biological sex non-binary. Also, for a really horrific example of a boy raised as a girl, look up David Reimer and John Money. The alphabet people really REALLY don't want to acknowledge this case.

I believe the studies on this -- to the extent they're reliable at all -- is that F2M "transitions" are more common in tween and younger teenage girls, but it's temporary and mostly for attention. They aren't committed to the conversion (although some, like Ellen Page, do go all the way).
I think the M2F trannies are more deranged, more committed, and more dangerous. These people don't cosplay.

Standard Accessible Toilets: These are found in most shopping centers, restaurants, and public venues. Many of these are kept locked to prevent vandalism and require a RADAR Key to open. You can map their locations using the Great British Public Toilet Map.
Changing Places Toilets: These are larger, specialist facilities designed for severely disabled people. They include extra space, adult-sized changing benches, and ceiling hoists. You can use the Changing Places Toilets locator to find these before you travel.
In the absence of separate gender-neutral bathrooms, trans people have sometimes resorted to using accessible (disabled) toilets to avoid confrontation or feeling unsafe in gendered spaces. However, advocates and disability organizations argue that disabled toilets are not an appropriate "catch-all" or "third space" alternative.
A new bathroom battle looms.

But that is totally likely where they get the overgeneralization that we are "assigned a sex at birth (on the certificate)".
The thing about doctors making XYs into "girls", they were girls with off the charts testosterone. Many of them felt that there had been some screwup. Some became sociopaths.
But that's quite different from an XX that "feels" that there is a screw up because it says "Female" on her birth certificate and she really doesn't feel that's accurate.
No, the failures at converting XYs into "girls" shows how much sex chromosomes actually factor into "gender expression".
But that doesn't mean we can wish-cast that it works the other way. And that's what these assholes do.

Nothing about her is male or masculine. Her complex is a bizarre variation on the female "I can fix men" trope. She thinks men should cry more. She thinks men should not be "emotionally shut down", which is a female description of male behavior.
It seems that her main compulsion is that she is going to show men how to be better men: i.e., improve men.
How the fuck did she know that she "felt male", if she didn't resemble the "emotionally shut down" state of most males--which again is a female way of describing men's degree of prioritization of abstractions and structures over just relationships.

No one remembers bad polling nor bad predictions made in Summer when election time comes around in November. And the idea that you can put percentages on these things right now is ridiculous.

The model has nothing on actual districts apparently and is using historical data which doesn't work when the districts used have changed. Mid term adjustments to election districts are pretty much unique to this election cycle for House elections--suis generis.
I used to build and use empirical models and his is junk. Cook's is a bit better because they analyze each seat, incumbency, and a number of other variables that are non existent in this one. My guess is a play for mass media coverage is driving this, not accuracy.

Ellen page was sexually assaulted. She would hate me for saying it, but she is textbook “if I am not a female anymore, I can’t be hurt like this again”. She is a tiny, tiny girl. This is how she dealt with trauma and her vulnerability as not just a female, but a very small female. She wasn’t totally tethered to strong mental health to start, and she wasn’t given great care to deal with anything. This is the result. A very, very unhealthy mess of a person.

I don't think the donations are coming---AID is shut down, foreigners are probably getting spooked as ActBlue is under investigation, DNC is doing poorly at raising funds, etc. etc. And the situational variables around this election--unemployment, economic distress, GOP scandals, etc. etc. don't appear to support a blue wave either.
Just one more hyped media junk reporting for factoid crap where people can believe in false percentages of a bad estimating model.
Endogeneity is a thorough pain in the ass to model and you run into it with public opinion models sometimes---knew a guy that spent all his time on LISREL modeling for it (public opinion colleague) and it is not for the faint of heart.
De-trending analysis is bad enough for time series analysis for similar reasons.

Trump: There's No Way I'm Stopping ICE Traffic Stops Just Because the Left Has Fully Embraced Violence As Its "Political Speech"
The stops are back on (if they were ever off).
President Donald Trump on Wednesday praised the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and disputed reports it would end traffic stops. He said that traffic stops are key to effective enforcement of immigration laws. "We must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.'s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal's hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won't happen on my watch," Trump said on Truth Social. Several outlets on Tuesday reported that ICE would curtail agents stopping vehicles as part of the federal agency's nationwide deportation operation. The change in policy followed two fatal shootings of motorists involving ICE agents in one week.By the way, the man who was shot and killed while attempting to run down ICE in his vehicle was a Columbian immigrant.
The driver of the vehicle was killed in the incident and was identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian citizen in his 20s. The Washington Post pointed out that Guerrero "entered the United States via the southern border in September 2023, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement, and received work authorization in May 2025."As I said, this is terrorism and insurrection. The left is asserting a general right to attack its enemies. In Point Pleasant, NJ, a woman slapped two kids for daring to wear MAGA and pro-ICE clothing. The woman is herself a foreigner -- a Canadian.
A leftist Canadian woman allegedly slapped a teen who was wearing President Trump-branded clothing on the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend -- before she was arrested and detained by immigration officials. Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, allegedly recorded herself confronting a group of four girls on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk when she became violent on July 3, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com. Tracey took issue with two of the beachgoers -- who are minors -- wearing "patriotic colored" sweatpants with the words "Trump" and "ICE" before she struck one of them across the face and body, police alleged.
Video surveillance captured Tracey's alleged assault before she left the scene but was identified by police who obtained an arrest warrant for her, the outlet reported.
She was arrested on Monday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction, according to court records viewed by The Post. The teen Tracey allegedly slapped was not injured. Tracey had been living in Asbury Park with her husband after she entered the US with a passport in 2024, according to the outlet.

The Canadian woman who slapped a teenager at the Jersey Shore because she didn't like the girl's MAGA clothing was arrested by ICE and brought to Delaney Hall in Newark -- the very immigration detention center her lefty husband has railed about on social media. Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, was taken into custody after she filmed herself confronting two girls wearing "patriotic colored" sweatpants over Fourth of July weekend at Point Pleasant, one of whom she struck across the face and body, cops said. Her husband, Matthew Geroni, 42, revealed on TikTok Tuesday that she had been taken to Delaney Hall in a video he said he recorded with the purpose of getting her released from ICE custody "even if that means back to Canada," he said. Tracey was arrested on Monday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction, according to court records viewed by The Post. The couple have been living in Asbury Park since she entered the US with a Canadian passport in 2024. It wasn't his first video about the now-infamous detainee facility, which became the site of angry protests and violent clashes between police and anti-ICE demonstrators in recent months. Geroni posted a TikTok video in June purporting to imitate both sides of the conflict, portraying the protesters as peaceful and the police as violent, mindless thugs. The video opens with him sitting under the words "peaceful protesters literally standing in their designated first amendment zone," looking confused and scratching his head. It then cuts to him standing and aiming a gun-like object with which he mimics a rapid-fire shooting motion standing beside the text "State police and [ICE] at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ."
American husband is begging for help for his Canadian wife, who was arrested and detained by ICE after assaulting a teenager in New Jersey for wearing patriotic Trump and ICE apparel.

Needs more data. Passport just means what they used as identity papers.
Under what permit status were they admitted entry?
Was an I-94 issued?
Canadians don't need a specific visa/permit to come for a short term visit (shopping, visiting a friend for a couple of weeks, that sort of thing) but if they intend to rent or buy a house and take up residency, then hell yes they need a permit from the USCIS (formerly the INS) to do so!

America is a racist, fascist, oligarchical tyranny that encourages the murder of brown people for sport by government agents who get immunity for taking the lives of the dispossessed.
It is a tyranny of violence and oppression, and everyone who can leave should leave for their own safety.
Not just the brown immigrants and future Americans who just want to make a better life for themselves and their families, but also the legal immigrants, and the naturalized citizens, and the US born citizens who can see the encroaching fascism like 1933 Germany. Did the Jews just stick around in Germany looking for work, or did they flee?
Take the hint, for your own safety! Get out before New Hitler puts you in gas chambers! It's definitely coming!

So either they got married and stupidly didn't think they needed to get her permanent residency (aka "the green card") as a spouse with an I-130 + maybe an I-485, or they went through the process and she's a permanent resident legally, and she hasn't become a U.S. Citizen yet. (It takes time, you can't just do it instantly. It also costs quite a few thousand dollars to do.)
Either way, one thing you don't do is get in trouble with the law, at all before you reach full blown citizenship status. FFS, that's a fast-ticket to "Application DENIED" + "GTFO, Deported, LOL". Every legal immigrant knows this.

Every metric of deportations has exploded since Mullin took over from Noem.
He's gone quieter, but that just means Bovino doesn't get headlines about marching into cities. ICE is still there, picking people up, but they're moving in smaller bands and with less fanfare while picking up more and deporting at rates not seen...ever.
Deportation flights are roughly 2x what they were under Noem while holding times of detainees is down to 3-4 weeks from 6-8 early in Trump 2.0.

There is no feasible solution that gets everyone out in 5 days.
There are feasible solutions to get them out over the course of years, and the administration is pulling on every lever.
The most effective are going to be the new Treasury regulations that force banks to treat legal status as a financial risk, cutting even legal immigrants off from things like long-term loans (visa only good for 6 years max? no, you don't get a 30 year lone) to just simple banking accounts.
There's no sexiness to that stuff, so it gets ignored and forgotten, but cutting off illegals (and even some legals) from the American financial system is a huge incentive for them to leave. And it's just started.

Correction. The Republican party is waging war against America.
I'm Dutch and I find it wild that there hasn't been a country wide protest yet like there was when George Floyd was killed, what is stopping like 50 million people from potentially collectively going on the streets and protesting.
People are protesting. The No Kings protests were some of the biggest in US history. And it isn’t doing anything. And sometimes one or two of those protesters get killed for being there, or arrested and potentially sentenced very aggressively. Those risks vs little to no reward is enough to convince me not to participate
"surely he doesn't mean us, we're the good ones." - Latinos for Trump. And over 20% of black men voted for him too...fucking crazy.
Trumps plan is martial law by September and postponement of midterms by October! This is already an authoritarian govt! he wants to spark violent conflicts between ICE and protesters/immigrants to give him cover. The murders are Trump saying "Give me an excuse."

You have to account for the fact that it COULD be narrative control. Look at the stories yesterday ("no more stops" not merely "someone else killed") and then today as the aftermath settles, Trump takes the flak which he has offered to do since he came on the scene.

And even the proposed changes didn't actually lead to the stop of traffic stops.
Just the "non-critical" ones.
Essentially, Mullin gave up perhaps close to nothing in exchange for giving Collins a little independent win in an election year.

I find it amazing how people refuse to believe that this stuff isn't orchestrated.
Collins wants a boost, so she takes credit for "additional training." She gets her media hit.
Trump then waits a day and says "Nah, never mind!" and meanwhile nothing actually changed. It's just to keep the churn rolling.
It's like this breathless circle-jerk about the SAVE Act where *nothing ever happens.* It's just to keep everyone talking about it.
And yes, I worked in politics, and we coordinated these "fights" and also arranged for bills to be tanked by people in safe seats.
We also swapped votes ("I've got two for this, give me two for that") and so much of it was scripted. But reporters pretended it wasn't because they needed the headlines and clicks.

The "protests" are so weak and feeble it defeats the purpose of protesting. You're basically saying to the world "we are weak and impotent, don't pay any attention to us."

He wasn't.
He was allowed to retire. He was eligible for one more year of service but chose to retire.
Was it entirely voluntary? Probably not. He was getting a lot of flack that the administration didn't want. So, there was probably a push there.
And, arrests have increased since Bovino and Noem left. Deportation flights have increased since they left.
Bovino and Noem made immigration enforcement a show. There may have been benefits to that, but since they starred in their own show, when the time came to change it from a show to a low-burn strategy that netted more people, they had to go.

Spoiler alert, people of Reddit: the federal government is always waging war on us. From BOTH parties. It's up to us to rein them in and take our power back.
Also, Reddit gets it right, sometimes! A nurse posted on Reddit/nursing that she checked out a coworker/mentor's socials and gasp, he's MAGA! But he's kind, never bring up politics, and everyone tells her she lucked out getting him as a mentor. She asks them for advice on how to handle working with a MAGA.
They all pretty much tell her: suck it up, you will always have to work with people that disagree with you, that's what adults do. What will she do if a patient has Fox News on? That in nursing, you treat rapists and murderers too, and you have to give them all the same care. Suck it up, buttercup, you're in the real world now. It was refreshing.
Some also pointed out that by stalking his socials she's potentially crossing a line, and needs to stop being a creeper and just do her job.

Newsweek, "Tracey, of Allenhurst, New Jersey, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction in the July 3 incident."
"Of Allenhurst, NJ" - Home values in Allenhurst span historic Victorians and Craftsman-style properties, with an average home value of approximately $2,360,171.
The local rental market is dominated by larger luxury homes and seasonal rentals, with average monthly rent prices generally ranging between $3,300 and $17,000 depending on the size and time of year.
Utility prices are about 3% higher than the national average, and transportation expenses (e.g., gas, tolls, transit fares) are roughly 5% higher.
Grocery prices are stable, sitting just 2% higher than the national average.
New Jersey is known for high property taxes, which directly impact the overall cost of ownership in this upscale borough.

NBC 10, July 14, 2026, In part, "Contractor killed in Philly was part of transnational criminal group, DHS says
Salis Hanrahan, a 20-year-old contractor who was shot and killed in Philly, was part of a transnational criminal organization, the Department of Homeland Security said.
On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Salis Hanrahan, 20, was shot and killed along the 400 block of Ripka Street. Witnesses told NBC10 the shooting occurred around 2 p.m. that day as construction workers installed siding on a home. The witnesses said they heard an argument inside the home. A few moments later, Hanrahan walked out of the home and collapsed on the sidewalk, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Investigators recovered a gun from the scene of the crime. Two days later, on July 10, police announced the owner of the Ripka Street home, 75-year-old George Barr, was arrested in connection to Hanrahan’s death. Barr was charged with murder, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person."

Officially? No. Unofficially? Yes. See below:
Immigration can bar you from entry for up to 10 years, and you have to apply to have the bar lifted after that time, THEN you have to re-apply for lawful entry, and they can simply deem in "inadmissible" and turn you around at the border again.
Unofficially, they can mark your identification in the Customs and Border Patrol system in such a way that it's effectively a "Don't let this asshole in, ever." So you're just chronically "inadmissible".

Biden Slurs and Stumbles His Way Through Ad for His Ghostwritten "Memoir"
This drooling imbecile was paid $10 million by the corrupt corporate media for a book that won't make $2 million.
As ghastly as that corruption is, at least we can take solace in Biden feeling disrespected by the fact he only got $10 million -- the clean, articulate black man (whoah, that's storybook, man!) who proceeded him got $60 million. (Plus a hundred million from propaganda op Netflix, just for existing.) And now he's doing videos to sell this POS before he dies.Below: A clearly mentally-ravaged Biden slurs his way through an ad for "his" ghostwritten book of lies. This short video has more cuts in it than a Michael Bay action sequence.
Former President Joe Biden will release his memoir this fall at a date set for two weeks after midterm elections in which Democrats seek to regain control of Congress. ... The memoir Promise Me, America will focus on his four years leading the nation, as Breitbart News reported. Many Democrats remain divided on Biden's legacy and his ill-fated journey to seek a second term in the White House while questions have been raised about Biden's mental decline while he was in the White House and the alleged use of an autopen.
His own party's leaders hope to keep the fall campaign focused on the record of Republican President Donald Trump, the AP report notes, rather than that of a man who drifted out of view when all attempts to return to the highest office in the land came to nothing and his own party turned on him. "'Promise Me, America' is about the challenges we faced as a nation. It's about the decisions I made and why I made them," Biden said in a video statement accompanying Wednesday's announcement. "Most of all, it's about my faith in the promise of America."
I’ve written a book about my time as President. It’s called PROMISE ME, AMERICA. It’s coming out November 17th and is available for preorder now. https://t.co/uMINr9efxS@littlebrown pic.twitter.com/yzWfZyD31A

Incredible to watch this video and remember that Biden and his team fought for him to serve a second term. This is a recorded video, no doubt with multiple takes, and in the finished product he can barely speak https://t.co/PguoTKwd8O

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to suffer an embarrassing mishap on the Senate floor Tuesday when what sounded like a fart interrupted his remarks live on C-SPAN. Schumer was criticizing President Trump over the war in Iran when the noise broke through the chamber's microphones. "Now on Iran and the NDAA," the 75-year-old New York Democrat began before briefly pausing and continuing with his speech.
Did Chuck Schumer just break wind on the Senate floor? pic.twitter.com/2SPYoVOlWx

Biden gets the focus of the blame, in part because he’s the old pasty white guy democrat from 1972.
Harris is an airhead, worse than Biden if that’s possible, and had no chance, ever. The press and media did not want anyone to know this.

I've actually been following this. The "refugee camp" is placed squarely between two rural towns. Piddington, Oxforshire is just one of them. The "camp" will be where they settle the "boat people" who, at that point would have had no valid vetting. Additionally, they have already confirmed that occupants of that "camp" will have the freedom to leave anytime they wish.
Piddington is a rural town people visit to go hiking, and view some of the subsidiary campuses of Oxford University. The estimated population of the camp is not 1000. That's the toned down number. The true expectation is in excess of 2500.
Even the police there are very concerned.

Netflix needed ‘Net Neutrality’ and Obama gave it to them.
The reason Netflix needed it was because, at the time, they feared that the likes of AT&T, Comcast, and the rest of the ISPs were going to start charging Netflix large carriage fees because of the explosive increase in the amount of bandwidth being sent over their networks once Netflix began streaming video to every subscriber.
Net Neutrality put an end to that worry as the Big ISPs were no longer allowed to prioritize or throttle bandwidth hogs and had to treat every IP packet ‘neutrally’.
I’m certain that’s why the Obamas were paid off, I just can’t prove it, and neither can anybody else unless one of the participants confesses to the payoff with proof.

He actually got 15 MILLION more votes than Obama got in 2012, and 12 MILLION more than in 2008. This is all you really need to know there was fraud. The involvement of a foreign government pumping fake ballots into the system would track with the ridiculous number because they likely didn't think about how the total would look when they were doing it across multiple states with their hair on fire.

Ruby Rippey-Gibney — the former San Francisco City Hall aide whose affair with Gov. Gavin Newsom nearly upended his political career — will tell her side of the story for the first time in an upcoming Vanity Fair piece, The California Post has learned.
Details of the piece remain unclear, but a source familiar with the matter said Rippey-Gibney intends to recount her perspective on the affair that rocked San Francisco politics in 2007 and has remained one of the most embarrassing moments in then-mayor of San Francisco Newsom’s life and career.

We've discovered that having light outside when you wake up is important. It causes your body to stop producing melatonin and it changes your cortisol levels. It reduces the issues people have with SAD and other mood regulation issues.
On the other hand, it's nice to have light at the end of your day. Outdoor chores, exercise, etc. are all nice to do outside in the afternoon.
I'm predicting that many of the people screaming that changing the clocks twice a year is STOOOPID are going to be shouted down after we implement this system.
I honestly don't get the hate for changing the time. I set my alarm on my phone, and my phone auto-adjusts. I never miss the time change and my body figures it out just fine. I'd rather adjust my clock to maximize sunlight during my day.

I still can't believe there was a massive bidding war for Emily Rentajetski's (however you pronounce her name) for her upcoming memoir, based on an essay she did, about being a single mommy and whoring around with her huge mommy milkers.
*looks around as the modern celebrity culture landscape*
Oh crap, yes I can.
There was a good article at the NY Post by Miska Saleman, another single mom, who says how sad it is she is defining her importance not by her new child but by if men still find her screwable. And how creepy her photoshoot was of her breastfeeding her kid. The morons would appreciate the size of her boobs. But she looked very dead behind the eyes.

As ghastly as that corruption is, at least we can take solace in Biden feeling disrespected by the fact he only got $10 million -- the clean, articulate black man (whoah, that's storybook, man!) who proceeded him got $60 million. (Plus a hundred million from propaganda op Netflix, just for existing.)

It and almost every other time he was an idiot before the press has been covered over.
For instance, the "Easter Bunny leading Biden away" refers to a viral incident during the April 2022 White House Easter Egg Roll. While former President Joe Biden was answering reporters' questions about Afghanistan, an aide in an Easter Bunny costume stepped in and ushered him away to prevent him from taking further questions.
The Easter Bunny was revealed to be Meghan Hay, who served as the White House Director of Message Planning, running interference for the President's public messaging.
He 'assumed' office January 20, 2021.

The day care center/elderly Medicare scams enrage me, because the average middle class people taking care of their elderly loved ones are struggling. It's so expensive. Then you have fake centers getting millions and pocketing it.
I kind of loved that Nick Shirley found a legit elderly Korean day care center in NYC, and the owner gave him a list right away of all the scam centers to check out. The scam ones are pocketing all their clients and making them lose money, while skimping on services the seniors actually need. They are gong to make the legit centers go bankrupt.

Unrelated, but that got me remembering a particularly savage Mad Magazine bit about Jonas Salk going to a publisher with a serious book on the Polio vaccine, but they wanted to capitalize on his well-deserved fame by taking his academic manuscript and rewriting it for mass consumption. They ended up with a Jonas Salk Polio Vaccine Coloring Book. Which didn't sell worth a damn.

My aunt once sold him a bunch of antique thread spools at the Rose Bowl Flea Market back in the 90s. She said that he was quiet and friendly. It helps that she was savvy enough not to gush over him, she just quietly told him that she loved his work when they were settling up. She mentioned that he really appreciated that she didn't make a scene.
Which was ruined when he went to the next seller, who exclaimed OH MY GOD, JOHN MALKOVICH! and practically dropped to his knees and opened wide.

In a National Address Tomorrow Night, Trump Will Reveal a Far More Extensive Foreign Penetration of the 2020 US Elections Than Ever Known; Plus, RussiaGate Was Faked to Protect the Real Country Intervering in Elections: China, on Behalf of Democrats
From Paul Sperry:
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ Jul 14 DEVELOPING: President Trump to announce in prime-time speech Thurs night FBI/CIA/ODNI have uncovered "shocking" intelligence of foreign election interference (not Russian) in recent US elections inclg 2020 + COVER-UP. Directors Ratcliffe, Patel to certify evidence...developing...
So here's what we're learning from all these declassified materials: The US Intelligence Community *juiced* intel to make it seem like Moscow interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, but then *buried* intel indicating Beijing interfered in the election to help Biden in 2020
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: I'm told forthcoming declassified docs will prove foreign penetration of 2020 election was deeper than anything the Russians were alleged to have done in 2016. Included hacking into state voter rolls. ID and ballot fraud. Yet Wray FBI +IC certified election was "secure"
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ BREAKING: Docs also will reveal Biden admin cooked a 2021 Intelligence Community Assessment to make it appear pro-Trump Russia had still been election interference threat in 2020 when in fact real threat from a pro-Biden nation.ICA used as "red herring" to throw public off scent.
Paul SperryBy the way: The Democrats are pressuring the networks to not carry this address:
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche just testified "we are investigating" an FBI agent's sworn affidavit detailing how the Comey FBI had no legal predication to pursue a FISA warrant and to wiretap Trump adviser Walid Phares in 2017. Here's my RCI scoop regarding that case.
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
NEW: WH getting pushback from Big 3 TV nets over carrying Thurs primetime address live bc AOC/Dems claiming Trump's just gonna rehash "baseless conspiracy theories" 2020 election rigged/stolen even tho Trump promises "really big news" flanked by both CIA/FBI chiefs bringing receipts

We'll find out in about 34 hours or so.
But I seriously doubt there will be an effort to actually remove Ossoff and Warnock.
I suspect there will be arrests of Fulton County and maybe even GA state election officials in the next day or so preceding the address along with announcements of sweeping oversight over elections in suspicious jurisdictions (Harmeet Dhillon has already announced poll watchers from DOJ in a dozen jurisdictions just for primary voting).
GA is going to very weirdly swing hard to the right this year, and the conventional wisdom will be somewhere between voter suppression and Bottoms as the gubernatorial candidate.

Because when Trump seems concerned about foreign interference in our elections (which the Dems cried for after 2004, btw), it's not a really serious thing.
He just wants to jail his political enemies.

It sure looks like tech billionaires and foreign dictatorships gave us Trump in 2024. This is as bad as the massive Russian bot presence on Facebook and Twitter back in 2016, which Robert Mueller documented gave Trump the presidency that time.
A peer-reviewed study released Thursday in Nature, the world's most prestigious scientific journal, has finally put hard numbers to what a lot of us suspected the moment the 2024 election was called for Trump (and Republicans in Congress) by the big networks: the algorithms that control our largest social media platforms intentionally and explicitly tilted the playing field, and they tilted it for Donald Trump and the GOP.

Way back in late 2020 and 2021, there were several who said that the sophisticated and coordinated injection of ballots could not have been accomplished by individuals or groups.
That is had all the fingerprints of a nation's intelligence service.
Recall:
- hundreds of 1000s of ballots, specific to hundreds of jurisdictions were printed
- and filled in State A
- for voters in State B who had not already voted and would not vote
- shipped to State B
- where various election officials and postal workers, and gaps in same, were exploited in order to inject those ballots into the count
- and all of this was being run in real-time during early voting
- with 10s of thousands in reserve, which they frantically deployed about 9pm on Election Night
But there is "no evidence" of fraud ....

That's going to be a running narrative from Trump until next Congress.
But with the death of Lindsey Graham, we went from 0% change of it passing to 0% chance of it passing.
Mitch, Ernst, Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis, and Murkowski were never going to vote for it in a final vote. The cowards (like Ernst) would hide behind those willing to "stand up to Trump" but there was never going to be the votes for it once those six decided that the SAVE act was beneath them. Especially once Cassidy and Cornyn lost their primaries and need to pretend to care about what the people wanted.
A much higher chance of it passing next Congress.
And besides, imagine a miracle happened and it passed today. It wouldn't be in effect for this year's election.

The whole concept of tolling is a complicated subject in law, statutes of limitation are really just codified court decisions on tolling as special cases but it depends on the specific charges or civil liability, when it was uncovered, and a lot of other factors making simple predictions of this or that unreliable.
Tolling is one of the problems that a lot of civil litigation lawyers can easily screw up on which can prevent or allow lawsuits to proceed. A bit simpler in criminal matters but even there, you have to dig into the actual charges, when the criminal evidence was discovered, and so on.
Law is an art, not a science, and skilled attorneys never give a yes/know answer without digging in a lot of cases. That fact it is an art is what makes Democrat lawfare even possible--they rely on judges with blinders to go along with their actions that on the whole of the law appear unlawful or unreasonable.

Politics under every form of government demonstrate corruption because it involves people who are naturally sinful.
So, once you disregard the perfect, you aim for the possible. A system where corruption is discouraged in officeholders and virtuous behavior encouraged.
That is doable. The goal of no sin in people is beyond mere humans to fix. And any sin in people will be reflected when those people are put into office.

Guys, I know we're all 29-year-olds here, but basically no one listens to broadcast television or radio any more (not even me, and I'm an old bastards). Even the classic cable networks are mostly dead. The former cable operator in my town doesn't even carry television any more. It just provides internet and it's up to you to buy streaming services. Streaming services do not have "licenses" to "revoke", nor are they required to participate in EBS.

Nope. Wray preceded Barr's appointment by two years. Wray came from Chris Christie who briefly ran the vetting operation for Trump in 2016 election aftermath who got caught putting Never Trumpers in the mix. Replaced by Pence who probably did the same but was more lower profile about it.

You Can Help Find Non-Citizens On the Voter Rolls
The Department of Homeland Security has a website called the “Worst of the Worst.”
These are all criminal illegal aliens that have committed heinous crimes.
You can filter the illegal aliens by state.
So, I thought to myself, “What if some of these criminal illegal aliens are voting?”
We plugged the illegal aliens into the Pennsylvania voter rolls & — sure enough —
we are finding that many are not only ACTIVELY registered to vote, but that they have also voted in federal elections.
Imagine if a legion of Americans across the country used the DHS WOW website to find illegal aliens on the voter rolls.
This is a game-changer & I have no doubt that the powers that be DON’T want you to see this information

You left out millions in Senate campaign funds and the next two years trying to persuade Alaskans for another go.
Murkcow, especially if the Senate has GOP gains, is increasingly isolated as her cronies and patron Mitch leaves office. GOP gains one or two seats, Murcow and even Collins become irrelevant.
And Trump has appointments to offer--like ambassadorships, offices for cronies and family, etc. to essentially change the calculus for some of them. Plus their donor networks may or may not want their Congress critter to play ball which is difficult for outsiders to see. And their staffers have their ass hanging in the wind from coming unemployment and loss of juice which helps them act as inside advocates.
Patronage is a dirty word but often results in gains in good public policy when used correctly.

It's more about how holding times on detainees have dropped significantly because of increased efficiencies in immigration courts (hiring new judges, mega master hearings, etc.) so that they're held for a lot less time.
If your average detainee is in holding for 25 days, you have far less need for overall holding than if the average is 60 days.

It's probably more now with NGO behavior changes based on monetary incentives.

Actually Obama set that up in the final weeks of his regime when he created a diplomatic crisis by expelling a number of Russian diplomats for supposed election interference or some BS. Frorm the shocked reaction of Putin and the Russian embassy it was pretty clear somebody was being set up but is was not clear what this what all about and it was mostly forgotten.
Thinking back it was clearly laying the groundwork for the whole Russian collusion op. At the expense of truly pissing off the Russians, BTW and complete disregard for international relations with them.

The people that tell me millions of valid voters have been disenfranchised and thousands of American citizens have been deported but can't give me a single name also argue the dozens of fraud cases don't amount to a real problem because they aren't enough to change an election's results...
Well, what percentage of CA's votes are valid ballots cast by an American citizen? The left argues all of them right up until something like the SAVE act comes up at which point they argue it would kick millions off the voter rolls.

Further, much of the materials and imagery were purloined from secure facilities that have no connection to the internet or email, ever. By design, to preclude this top secret material from being hacked or diverted in the first place.

And no one could find any written rules or laws that stated what was supposed to happen if papers were missing or not signed. Patrick Kennedy was the guy in charge, and he thugged his way out of every demand for information.
However, she could have been charged with scores of felonies for her emails. Never was. Maddening.

=======
The specific statute in question does not require intent to prove a crime, simply that you took classified information and put it at risk which she did. The whole intent search was a blinder.
A poor navy sob went to prison for taking some pictures of his sub.
A US Navy sailor was sentenced on Friday to a year in prison for taking photos of classified areas inside a nuclear attack submarine while it was in port in Connecticut.
Kristian Saucier, of Arlington, Vermont, appeared in federal court in Bridgeport, where a judge also ordered him to serve six months of home confinement with electronic monitoring during a three-year period of supervised release after the prison time. He pleaded guilty in May to unauthorized detention of defense information and had faced five to six years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Saucier admitted to taking six photos of classified areas inside the USS Alexandria in 2009 when it was in Groton and he was a 22-year-old machinist mate on the submarine.

Jack Smith Shredded the Constitution to Spy on Republican Congressmen, Then Repeatedly Lied About It Under Oath
There is a bullshit way around this. The DOJ will sometimes seize these messages anyway but they first go to a "Filter Team" to make sure that nothing in the messages is protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. If a message falls into that category, it's not passed on to prosecutors. But Jack Smith said "YOLO" and just read all the messages he wanted to read, without any Filter Team clearing them first. And of course, 90% of those he illegally, unconstitutionally spied on were Republican congressmen.David Strom adds that Smith has always been a notoriously partisan operator who could be counted on to break the law to advance the interests of the Democrat Party -- which is precisely why Merrick Garland broke the law to appoint him.
Newly released records reveal that Special Counsel Jack Smith's team bypassed mandatory protocols to secretly access the private text messages of 44 members of Congress during the probe into President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday. The disclosure, confirmed by records released by the Senate Judiciary Committee, has become a major constitutional flashpoint. As lawmakers confront the reality that their private communications were accessed without following established filter protocols, the inquiry is igniting a broader debate over the separation of powers between the executive branch and the legislative body. "Communications from Members of Congress pertaining to their official legislative duties are protected from criminal prosecution under the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause," the Senate Judiciary's press release said. The Speech or Debate Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 6) serves as a check on executive power and is designed to prevent members of Congress from being "questioned in any other Place," ensuring they cannot be subjected to the scrutiny of the Justice Department or the judicial branch for their legislative acts. Yet DOJ records released to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveal that former Special Counsel Jack Smith's team reviewed the texts of 44 members of Congress, including 40 Republicans and four Democrats, during the investigation into President Donald Trump. .. "This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about," Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., also wrote on X. Paul also called out Jack Smith, where, during a December 2025 congressional deposition when he was asked under oath whether his team had reviewed the content of text messages belonging to members of Congress, he answered, "No." ...
While the Filter Team's purpose was to prevent investigators from the Special Counsel's Office and the FBI from accessing privileged materials among records obtained, evidence shows that investigators bypassed this, potentially infringing on constitutional guardrails, according to the release. .. The phones were associated with a long list of officials serving in the White House during President Trump's first term, including Trump himself, as well as Stephen Miller, Rudy Giuliani, Kellyanne Conway, Peter Navarro, the president's daughter Ivanka Trump, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Vice President Mike Pence. Smith's investigative team downloaded and began reviewing the texts without waiting for the Filter Team's evaluation. ... Meanwhile, the scope of this investigative overreach has been igniting sharp backlash on Capitol Hill. ... Missouri Senator Josh Hawley also slammed the findings of the DOJ records, writing on X, "Joe Biden's DOJ not only tapped my phone; I just learned they ILLEGALLY obtained my texts with members of President Trump's administration," adding, "Everyone involved needs to be PROSECUTED." Lawmakers are now calling for a full-scale investigation into the breach, decrying what Senator Ron Johnson described as the "Biden administration's weaponization of the Justice Department." At the core of their concerns is whether the government has prioritized its investigative reach over constitutional restraints.
Jack Smith, the illegally appointed Special Prosecutor whom Biden's Justice Department sicced on Donald Trump, is a perjurer. That should surprise nobody; for years now it has been obvious that he is a partisan hack with a burning desire to take down Donald Trump, which is why the Justice Department violated its own rules (eventually destroying their case) in order to appoint him. They knew they could count on him to break any rule, tell any lie, and cross every ethical boundary to get his man.Learn to code. In a prison classroom.

1. The Uniparty looks after it's own. It's both party's establishments, and they will look after each other. Bolton is a major part of that, which is why Mitch got Trump to put Bolton on his staff in Trump 1.0.

There is a third, and in some ways they are the worst. They are the ones that are productive, hardworking Americans, and on paper and in their daily lives live like a conservative. Fiscally responsible. But they latch onto every woke cause possible, virtue signal every leftist talking point, and often raise the uber daddy rich kids.
A lot of first gen immigrant Asian and Indian families I grew up with were this way, as were blue collar kids who went to college and got white collar jobs. They benefit the most from capitalism and the American dream, and yet then teach their kids to believe it's evil. While living like a conservative. Crazy subversive. The hardest to dismiss because they are smart, should know better and be more self aware.
These were the ones Spencer Pratt was trying to appeal to the most. Hard working libs who buy into the lies, but at some point, the reality about how bad liberal policies actually are, and how it's destroying the cities they love, and might finally red pill them.

it should be a lower standard to investigate an elected official than a private citizen. Don't like it? Don't run for office. If you're in office you need to be above reproach, it unironically should be a job where "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."
Republican politicians love acting like something that is routinely done to average Americans, that they sanction, is appalling because it's done to them
All my work emails are on the company server that HR can review at any time. IGs should be able to monitor all of it.
Lol Jack Smith doesn’t care and I’m sure he isn’t intimidated in the slightest. Hold him accountable for what? They’re so petty and vindictive
Republicans are used to dealing with maliciously weak and incompetent democrats. They literally cannot imagine the pushback someone competent like Smith is capable of.

The Democrats have a long history of indicting Republicans on made-up, false and frivolous charges to remove them from the ballot.
Smith intended to indict any Republican who dared oppose the Democrats.
And he would have gotten a 100% conviction in the DC courts.
This was not just lawfare:
It was a judicially sponsored, encouraged and aided coup attempt against the Constitution.
Every judge who approved this investigation needs to have there entire office defunded--don't fuck around wasting time with impeachment. They can leave or they and their staff can work for free.
And every person who worked with Jack Smith needs to be charged and in prison.

In fact, as I recall there were some papers that "had to" be filed before a person could commence their duties that weren't filed, weren't signed. Patrick Kennedy was the thug who maintained the chaos by simply refusing to follow the law and (I think) firing people who tried to. I remember that.

Before stepping into the DNI role, she possessed significant national security experience, having served as the Deputy Director of the CIA and the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor during the Obama administration.
During their time together at the CIA, Avril Haines was under John Brennan.
The CIA spied on Senate staffers investigating the agency's post-9/11 interrogation and detention program.
In 2014, the internal CIA IG confirmed it. At the time, then-CIA Director John Brennan initially & furiously denied the allegations.
Detailed findings have been documented by EPIC & others.

But what they were doing was no less dangerous and deadly.
They intended to decapitate and destroy the Republican Party, via indictments and prison.
To cement the Democrats into one-party rule forever.
They would have won the Presidency, indicted enough Republicans in Congress to take majorities and instantly would have:
- mandatory nationwide mail-in ballots to all registered voters and ranked choice voting in every federal election.
- expand the Supreme Court and pack it with 5 new Dem Justices
- add PR and DC as states
- wide open border
America and the Constitution would be dead.
And the Boomer GOPe?

2. Cunningham was polling better against Tillis at the same time in 2020.
3. Registration changes greatly advantage Repubilcans.
4. Federal races tend to be more purely partisan than state level races (think Hogan in MD gov. vs. his senate race).
5. Cooper has issues stemming from Helene and crime (Ilyna).
6. Cooper, super popular governor with no downside, can't hit 50%.
Cooper is the underdog.

Former Senate staffers could not sue the CIA or John Brennan for searching their computers because of sovereign immunity. This legal doctrine shields the federal government and its officials acting in their official capacities from most civil lawsuits unless Congress has explicitly waived that immunity, which it has not for this type of constitutional tort.
Because the staffers could not pursue a lawsuit for damages, the resolution was handled politically and administratively rather than in the courts. The dispute was heavily framed as a constitutional issue.
Instead of individual legal action, Senate leaders handled the breach directly as an Intelligence Committee oversight dispute to protect the legislative branch's checks and balances over the executive branch.
And the DOJ declined to pursue.

Some polling numbers
1. Mamdani beat Cuomo by 24 points among college voters and lost non-college by 22; a 46 point education divide
2. El-Sayed leads by 7 among college in this poll, down 22 among non-college; 29 point divide
3. Platner led by 37 points among Maine college voters in NYT polling, but was down 23 to Collins among non-college; 60 point divide (*general election, not primary numbers)
A lot of interpretive places to go with this. One is that—for now!—it seems the populist left revolution is creating a kind of leftwing party-within-the-party that might accentuate the benefits and costs of Democrats over-performance among college grads rather than fix it."

Sovereign immunity is not sacrosanct--fwiw, there is a doctrine, ultra vires, that makes government people doing illegal things both criminally and civilly liable.
Not used much in recent years, but the liability goes to the individual doing the illegal act, not the US per se. Came from the old King can do no wrong but his ministers can and have in English common law.
And you have Six Unknown Federal Agents v. Bivins which creates constitutional torts as well.
Law itself depends a lot on context, the court(s) reviewing the actions, and politics.

College educated adults are generally downwardly mobile socially right now because of the overabundance of degrees combined with the injection of foreign labor in the college educated labor pool, making post-college employment difficult and their promised sinecures impossible. So, they trend towards socialism.
Non-college educated adults are either staying the same or getting better and don't feel the same antagonism towards the current economic model of the American engine as their counterparts with college degrees.

Plausible but a lot of the action is happening outside the DNC for Democrats nowadays with their whole constellation of ngos and nesting doll contributions of money and orders.
I don't think the DNC is the center of gravity anymore for the Dems on ops--they just defend them when exposed. The energy and activist core of the Dems is outside the party machinery.

It also solves the masculinity problem in part by giving them youth, energy and a message. Without this bullshit DSA astroturfing, Democrats were floating around with nothing but old ugly people spouting complaints and hate while Trump corraled all the good "centrist" stuff over to the R's.
So now it's YOUNG ugly people spouting complaints and hate but inside a nifty "new" message. They can then leverage their Pedowood phonies to put a nice coat of varnish on tired old communism and make it seem "fresh". And probably also appoint a presidential candidate that can be seen as "bridging" the two factions.

I think it is impossible to overestimate the fact that so many people have completely broken with reality - and forget about them ever coming back -
And .. this is with the basic services still intact. The lights are on, water comes out of the tap, grocery stores have food, etc etc etc. Normal, decent, peaceable people need to prepare now, because at some point whether natural or man made (or a combination) this uneasy relationship will not hold, not even a little bit.
Or put another way - see how batshit crazy they are now? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Precisely. The media decides what America will care about, to the point of rioting if necessary. They also decide if America will NOT care about an issue - as you point out.

Wednesday Morning Rant
It is likely waning now, but we're coming off one of the largest peacetime migrations in American history. A lot of people have moved in the past decade, and not just down the street or to a better neighborhood. It is plain that on CNBC's list, "red states" are bad and "blue states" are good, but there's more going on over the covers when you look at population. Per the Census estimates from April, 2020 as compared to July, 2025, the US total population increased by 3.1%. That is the baseline. So what about the best and worst?
CNBC "Worst" States- Tennessee: +5.83%
- Texas: +8.78%
- Indiana: +2.75%
- Louisiana: -0.85%
- Georgia: +5.50%
- Utah: +8.17%
- Missouri: +1.88%
- Alabama: +3.34%
- Oklahoma: +4.14%
- Arkansas: +3.43% CNBC "Best" States
- Vermont: +0.25%
- New Jersey: +2.79%
- Minnesota: +2.17%
- Connecticut: +2.24%
- Hawaii: -1.54%
- New Hampshire: +2.74%
- Virginia: +2.88%
- North Dakota: +2.60%
- Massachusetts: +1.72%
- Nebraska: +2.86% Of CNBC's 10 "worst" states, seven of them grew population faster than the United States. Of CNBC's 10 "best" states, zero of them grew faster than the United States overall. In real terms, the entire "best" list has lost population over the past five years. Its "worst" states include most of the big "red" states, but it's "best" list doesn't include several of the big "blue" states. As a bonus, let's look at a handful of big, major-player states that didn't make either list:
- Illinois: -0.80%
- New York: -1.00%
- California: -0.51%
- Florida: +8.93%
- Ohio: +0.86%
- Arizona: +6.51% Ouch. Deep blue California, New York and Illinois all shrank in nominal terms. On the red side, Florida grew even more than Texas and Ohio shrank in real terms. Purple Arizona grew more than twice as fast as the country as a whole. The gigantic migration of the past several years is going to have profound consequences on electoral distribution and power dynamics - especially if (and it is a big "if") the red state population magnets remain red states. Population movement can cause major political and cultural change, which we've seen writ large as some states of the Interior West fell like dominoes, moving from red or purple to solid blue and how Florida moved from purple to red (thanks in large part to electoral reform and reduced cheating, but still...). If this migration serves to reinforce rather than degrade the targets of the migration, the ripples through the power structure are barely even being felt yet. I think this is what the establishment fears, is why CNBC went full retard with their lists this year - and why I expect to see more excoriation of the popular red states and more articles about how wonderful the blue states are. People have spent the better part of a decade voting not just with their ballots or with their wallets, but with their feet. This has also been largely ignored by the mainstream, which is notable because this has been a big and consequential realignment spread over years. During this time, most of the establishment - regardless of nominal party affiliation - has been pretending it isn't happening. It is too big to continue ignoring it and I think this is a sign that the establishment is finally starting to acknowledge what has happened and to attempt to slow any more motion in the same direction. If this assumption is correct and this is the establishment's motivation, they waited far, far too long. The horses are out of the barn. The Great Migration has already redrawn the map. A media salvo and associated pressure campaigns now will be too little, too late. The only real question is whether the Great Migration reinforces conservatism at its destinations, or whether the red states will fall. If this pair of articles is indeed a trial balloon and more follow with greater intensity and frequency, it will be a strong indicator that the establishment fears that the Great Migration is a reinforcing trend for its enemies - that is, for Americans.

Basically, in 1988 lots of rural counties voted for Dukakis and core suburbs voted strongly for Bush. Then 1992 happened, and Perot got huge percentages of the vote, especially in counties that were primed to flip. Fast forward to 1996, and Northeastern counties were voting +50% for Clinton, and Dole was comfortably winning rural areas.
Vermont (the best example people give of a state flipping because of migration) actually shows exactly the same pattern as Delaware or Connecticut from 1988-1996. I'm not convinced that migration does anything other than reinforce existing trends.

I resist the whole, "this election is the most important ever."
2028 may be the most important election in a long time.
A corrected census (the 2020 was botched, intentionally, and the Census Bureau under Biden even admitted to it partially) after 6 straight years of mass deportations will change things.

The Great Migration refers to internal migration within the United States as the American population self-sorts across states.
That pattern at scale began in 2020 with COVID and BLM riots. It's an observable pattern that saw an uptick in internal migration, hence the term the Great Migration.

Probably true as far as it goes--one of the big drivers is political socialization--when a person adopts a semi permanent political id and that is affected by their age cohort, experiences during that cohort's political founding (between 18-30 or so), and the success or lack thereof of their adopted political party at the time.
If you overlaid percentage of New Deal and Baby Boom cohorts with the county voting records, then I suspect you would find some correlation and the new 'migrants' would move to an area already simpatico with their chosen id.
New England is a aging backwater of US economy and I suspect that a lot of these people there are political fossils of the New Deal and Baby Boom that are supplemented demographically by those going to higher education institutions in that area that find it congenial with their indoctrinated political views.

Grok says he is married to a woman and lives in Santa Cruz. He is no longer a full time employee of CNBC but apparently independently produces this Best/Worst list from his home.
Sounds like he isn't gay but suffers from living in Santa Cruz, which (despite it's reputation) is not a super attractive town (based on admittedly brief visits). With towns like Carmel to the south or Half Moon Bay to the north not far away, I can't imagine why a=someone would move to Santa Cruz.

In terms of foreign populations being addressed right now, you have to look at the net negative population growth of the US in 2025, record high forced deportations (roughly 1.2 million, 4x what Eisenhower did), self-deportations (based on surveys and previously observed patterns of 3-4x the rate of forced deportations, so between 4-5 million), restrictions on all visa classes (down double digits across the board, the admin can't kill the visa classes since they were created by Congress), investigations into visa fraud (yes, including H1-Bs which is being used a precedent to end the OPT program which is also being investigated), and the new Treasury regulations that inform banks that they have to treat an individual's legal status (or lack thereof) in the US as a risk factor in terms of them being able to pay back loans and things.

Have you tried incorporating more of the topical movies into some videos? I know it's impossible to do "Supergirl" on an erudite channel such as your own nor are you likely looking to insert yourself into the culture war but I would strongly consider finding a way to make a discussion heavily involve current thing. The Odyssey and Nolan would provide ample opportunity to do that.
That would appear IMO to be the best way for a movie channel to be "boosted". And yes I know no one does that anymore because it's what everyone else is doing.

I tend to think it's a deliberate act. It's not from "shitty farm workers." It's an actual parasite that lives on or in the produce. And it only appeared when those "shitty farm workers" were told to get the fuck out and go back to whatever shithole country they came from. Or face deportation. And their employers fined bigly.

I can't recommend that anyone who isn't a Leftist stay in a deep blue state, though.
Things are not going to get better, at least with regard to the suppurating rift between Left and Right. This is a harsh political reality.
These blue states are going to get worse and worse, faster and faster, as they grow more and more extreme. That will have universally negative consequences for them, but they will be worst for the people these increasingly aggressive authoritarians perceive as their enemies.

That was the objective of the Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die video.
I just choose little movies people don't care about.
What I'm going to do instead is about "Director DNA" movies. The one movie by a director that best defines them fully as a filmmaker.
So, hook is big names. There's contrarianism within it as well. Combine that with the right thumbnail, and it could grow. And it encourages discussion because "no, it's not X movie, it's Y movie."

That's rock solid. You could even.cheat and do several different ones per director.
Speaking for myself I would watch a why Jackie Brown is definitive AND a why Pulp Fiction is definitive.
Hard because it makes you seem wishy washy but this is about discussion, engagement and views, and literally no one doesn't know that. Plus everyone already knows there's no right answer.
Gives you more content and more things for fans of those particular movies to stumble across. So don't necessarily limit it to a singular answer even if that would be your instinct. You could call them thought experiments or something catchier.

So, Joe, you finally got me to look at that Worst States article. To see what they had to say about the Sooner State.
Oklahoma imposes one of America’s strictest bans on abortion, even though studies, including one by the National Bureau of Economic Research last year, found abortion bans increase net migration outflows, particularly among single adults.
Sure not seeing a problem here. Don't want those particular single adults anyway. Ironic (or something like) that "Strengths" lists: Childcare.
The other "negative" is we don't raise the d@mned minimum wage. Which, as we know, is really $0.
A divided Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, overturned a portion of the state’s near total ban on abortion, ruling women have a right to abortion when pregnancy risks their health, not just in a medical emergency.
As I recall, nowadays pregnancy risks health 0% of the time. Depending on the definition of "health risk," of course. My personal Overton Window has certainly moved over the decades toward "rare to the point of never."
It's a great state in so many ways. But not for CNBC customers, thanks.

I've had a couple of videos that have a "viral spike", the Orson Welles and Best Picture winner videos that have helped drive impressions and subscriber increases.
It's just about creating a library that's evergreen (if Dante or Gilliam die soon, I'd expect a viral spike from my videos about them) and then combining that with efforts to reach larger, more casual audiences.

Joe's immediate endorsement of Kamala short-circuited that.

the poly whatever it is parasite is something that grows on human waste contaminated farmland, if the human waste carries the parasite. It is either from sewage, casual crapping or contaminated irrigation water. Generally these risks are reduced in small farms. If you know the local farmer you will probably be ok.

Another Treasury regulation was that anyone on benefits is no longer allowed to send money out of the country. That one was a few months ago.
The OBBB also included a (very small) tax on remittances of 1%. It was going to be 5%, but the final text of the bill went down to 1%.
Still, we all know the history of tax rates. It'll be fun to watch that increase over time.

A very old friend of mine came to visit Utah from the Bay Area, one of her friends moved near me and she invited her to go see it. (Yes she didn't come to see ME, but her friend and the new house, but that's another story. We did get lunch though and she payed, which was super kind.) Californians swarmed the housing market after Covid, paying cash and offering above price, freezing out actual Utahns. Sold their postage stamp apartments in CA and got a huge house with land in UT.
So if a list is telling more woke libs to stay away from UT, good, because we need all the help we can get keeping people away.

How much of that was illegals? Probably 3.09%.
So calculating anything off of that baseline is gonna be difficult if not impossible, and a downward trend from there can be a good thing.
NYC lost some ppl, but approximately 70% of the loss was illegals leaving. That's a good thing. I'd be happy if even more would leave.

I think the only place where the old parasite story might still hold is in Boise.

I'm always curious about how these things are enforced. Also, has Treasury gotten back to us on how much less money is going out of the country?

Depends on where the wire originates from. Real banks require all kinds of ID when opening an account, so they can pretty easily track and cross-reference your ID when you send a wire.
But the western unions and similar (sleazy?) operations? I'm not sure. I think treasury might have to bring some prosecutions against them before they fly right.

I'm betting the produce is skimpy and full of rotten or nearly rotten stuff. Like the other Kroger's around here. They all buy from the same supplier, so why would this place be any different?
Yet, the wife... she want's to go and "experience" this mega market. I'll need an edible when we get home.

TJM, The previous Utah map sliced up super blue SLC into pie slices. The new blue house seat is now all of those pie slices together. It's never going to be red, it's blue forever.
I know about the judicial effery (and the judge sleeping with one of the map advocates), but part of what spurred it in the first place is the blue of SLC getting brighter blue from more lefties moving there. The new woke CA Karen carpetbaggers adding their shrieks to the shrieks already there.

There is a third, and in some ways they are the worst. They are the ones that are productive, hardworking Americans, and on paper and in their daily lives live like a conservative. Fiscally responsible. But they latch onto every woke cause possible, virtue signal every leftist talking point, and often raise the uber daddy rich kids.
A lot of Asian and Indian families I grew up with were this way, as were blue collar kids who went to college and got white collar jobs. They benefit the most from capitalism and the American dream, and yet then teach their kids to believe it's evil. While living like a conservative. Crazy subversive. The hardest to dismiss because they are smart, should know better and be more self aware.
These were the ones Spencer Pratt was trying to appeal to the most. Hard working libs who buy into the lies, but at some point, the reality about how bad liberal policies actually are, and how it's destroying the cities they love, and might finally red pill them.

No, not necessarily - it depends. And Good Luck trying to get a Refund from Democrats. LOL!
The one thing (only) thing Democrat and Republican strategists agreed on, was Biden was Toast, they were Stuck with Biden, and you can’t swap out the candidate without getting your clock cleaned electorally.
It was never close and was never going to be close. I think the media wanted the viewers and clicks, so they pretended for six months that Harris and that weirdo fuckhead had a chance.

The thing to keep in mind about the strawberry/fruit sellers in the Home Depot parking lot, or the flower sellers standing in the median at the traffic light.... they're paying off their debt to the cartels/coyotes with those sales. The cartels buy up truckloads of fruit and distribute it to the illegals that pay to cross the border. The cartels don't bother trying to get you to pay in advance, because they make more by having you go into debt to them. And you can't refuse to sell, or run, because they know where your family lives, both here in the US or in Mexico. You run, and a very nice man from the cartel will visit your parents in Chihuahua.
Basically, the fruitsellers are cartel slaves.

Almost half of all DACA recipients reside in California (about 28%) and Texas (around 17%). Other states with significant populations include Illinois (5%), New York (4%), and Florida (4%)
(DACA) appears to be beneficial as far as stability & homeownership. Reportedly, over 30% of DACA recipients are homeowners, and more than 900,000 U.S. citizens live in a household with a DACA recipient, recipients are raising an estimated 300,000 U.S.-citizen children.
As far as employment, 10s of thousands work as nurses, health aides, tech staff in hospitals and care centers. Thousands are bilingual K-12 teachers & educators. They're also represented in agricultural, grocery supply chain, and regional construction workforces.
OTOH, how accurate are TPS stats for the DACA program? Lousy, I would think. And if DACA work permits were revoked... 😬. Seems like solid planning by O & Joe and The American Center for Progress.
Could be a neat package to thwart the Trump administration's deportation efforts, etc. as it seems to fit well into current, highly controversial ICE issues and the underhanded methods of prior Democratic administrations.

I love my vintage Gillette razors. They were made so solidly that seventy or eighty years after they were produced, they still just *work*.
I avoid their new products including their double-edged safety razor blades. Plenty of other sources for those online without patronizing a company that clearly hates men.

Back in the '80s I tried those multi-blade things. Invariably I nicked myself or irritated my skin. Not to mention, every time I went to the store to get a new cartridge, the old ones were gone and there was a new model that required a whole new handle. No thanks.

And the US DoJ does not say in its amicus what you fear. Standard preemption starting on page 14-19 of the brief--first that the tail does not wag the dog--states cannot regulate absent specific allowable areas by Congress, beyond its borders under the Constitution, and the furthermore is that the Clean Air Act precludes any state or locality from regulating because it preempts for the federal government the powers under the interstate commerce clause for air pollutants.
Preclusion does not mean that carbon dioxide is a pollutant (as per the withdrawal of the finding) but rather that states or localities cannot add to the list of air pollutants nor regulate them as those are inherently matters that cross state boundaries.

A fetish tends to focus on a body part or an accessory to the exclusion of entire-body sexuality. Hence, breasts / bras, feet / shoes, legs / stockings.
Oddly, women generally do not tend to have fetishes. They may admire a body part, but it is usually in the context of sex. While you would have no trouble finding a man who is turned on by womens' stockings*, finding a woman who is turned on by mens' feet would be quite a task.

Though these are not scenes from everyday life, no doubt Jerry made good money from such fine works of art featuring very young 'women.'
This painting somehow reminds me of Thumbelina from the Hans Christian Andersen classic fairy tale. Big foliage and rock, small people in comparison.
I'd pass hanging, not at all over boob viewing distress but rather the willies I get considering the possible age of the models and monetary profits gleamed.
Jer could do much better as an artist.

Another episode is little more than a conversation with Prince William.
It's obvious PR for the crown to try and make William seem likeable or whatever.
But what struck me is that William almost never talks about his role and his future role in the context of the people of the United Kingdom. It's all about his family and tradition.
It's amazing self-centered while acting like he's being selfless. William is going to be a fucking terrible monarch.

It's amazing self-centered while acting like he's being selfless. William is going to be a fucking terrible monarch.

The British monarchy's role in the context of the people UK is just "be the family that symbolizes their traditions."
I don't see how that means he'll be bad at it. The King is just a hood ornament on the British political machine.

These always invite someone posting per capita numbers and the left going REEEEE
So for example heritage Americans commit 2/3s of the violent crime in America. Ok. But if there are 330M heritage Americans and the left's claimed 10M illegals what do those per capita numbers look like? Even if you take a more realistic number of illegals like 40M that means they are committing crimes at a rate way higher then heritage Americans do.

He will continue to ignore the plight of the people at the hand of the politicians that technically serve him as head of the state. He will exert no authority and continue to just live off the teat of the British people while he plays with toy soldiers in his castles pretending he's affecting things.
So, yes, continuation of the status quo. And the status quo is awful.

Pull all government funding. Remove any and all formal ties between the crown and government. Let them keep their properties as tourist attractions and make their money that way (it's apparently substantial) while the government taxes it at 90%.

French holds simultaneous positions in at least three organizations: Redeeming Babel (Curtis Chang's outfit that runs The After Party curriculum), the Trinity Forum (where he's a senior fellow), and the Kettering Foundation (senior fellow as of 2026). The first two sit inside a $33 million ecosystem called New Pluralists, a collaborative fund operated through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

Leftards don't want anyone happy so this is what they have wrought. I will continue analyzing it but this is what I've landed on for now.

It is a dying Democrat talking point--the grifter GOP class using it got defeated or resigned--Massie, Mace, and MTG. The talking point is dying because almost every single predator named were Dems.
Luttnick was the main GOP type named (Dershowitz was a Dem at the time now GOP) and Luttnick visited Epstein Island with his family apparently including kiddies for a couple of hours. Not exactly the grist that the Dems could use effectively.

Correct.
ICE will just straight up murder you if they decide to, and the administration will cover them.
Anyone who even imagines ICE will target them from illegal immigrants to legal immigrants stewing in leftist agitprop to AWFLs who are afraid of being deported because their families only came here 300 years ago should all just remove themselves from American soil for their own safety.
America is a fascist, dictatorial, totalitarian shithole where brown people are killed for sport by "legal" authorities who then dine on their corpses.

It's a problem for them. Wrong place, wrong time. Within a few more decades, most people will be borged-up bugmen Neuralinking each other from their dreary Meta pods, and the dead-eyed inability to follow any social cues will be completely normal.

They grew up with smartphones from early childhood. They interact through screens now, not through personal human contact. It's not a mode of communication they ever developed, and it shows plainly on their faces. It's a problem for them. Wrong place, wrong time. Within a few more decades, most people will be borged-up bugmen Neuralinking each other from their dreary Meta pods, and the dead-eyed inability to follow any social cues will be completely normal. But for now, large tracts of the population haven't integrated with the digital media corporations yet, so it's difficult for the bugmen to operate in society.

I said at the time they were using their "bad boys" to help take back masculinity while denigrating it at the same time.
Most people probably bristled at the idea but psychology doesn't work on a level that makes sense most of the time. And as "toxic" as Swalwell and Platner actually are, these viral stories help push the masculine bad boy energy back to the Democrats who were sorely missing it after Trump brutalized them for 10 years. And especially in 2024 upon getting shot and appearing as tough as any sonofabitch could.
Anyway there are other things I am correct about, and they will all come out in the wash.

The Morning Report — 7/ 15 /26
Good morning kids. That this has become a cause cé·lèbre among all the usual suspects let alone the incident itself are both barometers of how our nation is on the verge of coming apart at the seams.
A person was fatally shot in Biddeford, Maine, during an encounter with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. Witnesses report that the individual who was shot appeared to be attempting to run over the ICE officer before the officer discharged his weapon. . . The shooting in Maine follows another deadly shooting involving ICE in Houston, Texas, last week. Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is also accused of having “rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer,” although this is disputed by passengers presented in the vehicle at the time. Mexico is attempting to sue the U.S. over the incident.
Kamala Harris condemned the ICE agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Colombian national who allegedly tried to run them over in Maine.
William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush, wants to destroy the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that protects Americans from nation-changing, wage-slashing mass migration.Yeah, totally shocking that Chlamydia Harris and Kristol meth are blasting away at ICE. But, Markwayne Mullin? The head of the DHS who in that position is running ICE for and at the behest of the man who put him there, President Trump?
“Abolish ICE. Now,” Kristol posted on Monday... Kristol’s support for replacement migration is deeply unpopular among GOP-aligned and swing-voting Americans, largely because of the economic damage. The result is that Kristol and his former-GOP allies at The Bulwark are increasingly aligning themselves with pro-migration Democrats.
In response, Mullin ordered that all ICE officers in the country stop pulling over vehicles in order to do their jobs. The method of pulling over vehicles is one of the most effective and preferred tools for ICE officers, as at-home arrests increase the possibility of danger with access to weapons, according to the Daily Wire, which first reported the directive. At-home arrests also require a judicial warrant, whereas traffic stops do not. In other words, Mullin’s caving means more ICE agents will be put at risk while fewer deportations will be possible.Foreign invading criminals are using lethal force to avoid apprehension and deportation and one of our lead law enforcement officers is ordering his front line agents to essentially stand down and become targets. What Mullin should be doing is standing behind his troops and publicly urging them to do their duty and announce that the use of lethal force to defend one's life in the line o duty will always be our policy. Better put some ICE on those fat putrid lips! It's insanity like this that encourages not only the illegals to invade and remain here but the criminals who use this issue among every other issue under the sun to use violence and intimidation to overthrow America as founded.
. . . revolutionary movements often convince themselves that one spectacular act of bloodshed will awaken the public and spark sweeping political transformation. History shows otherwise, but the fantasy persists because every generation imagines it will succeed where the last one failed. One of the interview’s most compelling moments came during a discussion of what Rothman calls the “permission structure” surrounding violence. Contrary to popular belief, widespread support isn’t necessary. If only a small percentage of the population embraces political violence while everyone else hesitates to condemn it, whether out of fear, tribal loyalty, or ideological convenience, the normalization process begins. Silence becomes accommodation. Accommodation becomes acceptance. Acceptance becomes encouragement.Sadly it's more than a small percentage and it and the others who may not hurl a molotov cocktail but who cheer on those who do make up a frighteningly large percentage of the populace, and all of them are Democrat/Leftists. As I hinted at in previous posts, one cannot debate or otherwise reason with cancer. It must be eradicated, mercilessly, and excised from the body politic root and branch. How we are to do that in a manner that is in keeping with our values, heritage and abhorrence of violence is a big question mark. It is my fervent hope and prayer that the good Lord opens their eyes, hearts and minds to the evil they either perpetrate or otherwise support and make them repent and turn away and back towards a path of righteousness and decency. Before it's too late, for all of us. Have a good day,

When I was a kid in the early Sixties there, only the first six or seven blocks of Bourbon were Party World. Starting in the block where I lived and running another six or so to its end, Bourbon was residential with service businesses like a hardware store, a barber shop, laundromat, an upholstery shop, a grocery store, etc.
That downriver half of Bourbon is still residential, but those service businesses, I think, are all gone.

Also, bear in mind that any powers and aggressive stance that we insist federal law enforcement be given, and use vigorously, can, and will, be used against us once the Democrats regain power.

I think Treasury is going after the money underpinning the protests.
No money, no organized protests. I can take that trade as a tactical shift from street arrests, which can be changed as needed.

Most of those politicians are paid off by the cartels. If the US lets the trade agreement lapse, legitimate trade gets higher tariffs and less access. It could also be an incentive for the US to go after the banks that handle all of the cartels money laundering.

We spent $958 BILLION on interest payments for the debt last year. We are going to spend over $1 TRILLION to service our debt this year and it is only going to get worse because we are adding $2 TRILLION in new debt each year.
This is not sustainable.

The invasion of the US and the support of it by domestic enemies is only one facet of the present war. A war the left is committed to winning by multiple aggressive and passive methods.
I've brought the subject up here and elsewhere I am often accused of being a Fed plant, and given the recent history of khaki-sunglasses-Jan 6-not-so-secret-police I get how that happens.
So what is the defense? The senate is irretrievably corrupt, the money machine in politics torpedoes effective individual speech, the days of Mister Smith going to Washington were fantasy even when that movie was made, and the America many of us grew up in is long behind us with no path for returning.
What are we to do, other than complain, I mean? The enemies are partly easily identified, and partly well-concealed. Speaking out? Does that have an effect, or are the iPhones hypnotized the masses so well everyone is deaf?
Go ahead and call me a Fed plant if you like, but invaders were once repelled by shot and shell. As far as I can tell the First Barbary War has not ended but has expanded.

I'm sure they are.
However that does nothing to quell the radicalized individuals who act on their own accord. And there are many of them that will act when there's no protest, paid or not.
I have a suspicion there are a lot more of them roaming around, just itching for a reason to ram an ICE agent, stab a counter protester or whatever.
Street violence has been normalized. Either we get used to it or actively do something to quell it.

Perhaps I'm a bit of a Pollyanna, but I have a different interpretation of Mullin's order regarding ICE agents. I thought I read that the pause in pull overs was temporary, pending training in adjusted strategies. It makes sense to me that if their current traffic stop protocol allows the opportunity for attempted ramming, they would adjust their protocol to reduce the opportunities for ramming. Example: suppose officers alter their approach to a vehicle so that they reduce the time spent in its potential path.
In this case, Mullin is NOT caving.

The bright side, if there is one, a LOT more Christians will wake up ready to take care of business than if everyone remained in their slumber. As Reagan said - if you want peace, you can have peace right now. Surrender.
I will say again - in underestimating Christians, the bloodthirsty Left and Islam are making one of the gravest miscalculations in world history. But they can't help themselves. They each see people that want to live and let live, and take it for weakness. Dummies.

Some teens went on a boat to an island with a bunch of other people.
One of the kids was black and was last seen with a girl.
It's a tragic story. Most likely he was drunk, tried to swim, and drowned.
But now the racists are claiming these long-time friends murdered him and are covering it up.
So not only do those kids have the loss of their friend, they are now all accused of being racist.*
And won't be allowed at his funeral.
Their accusation is actually their confession:
They think it's plausible because they know, if they could, they would murder a white.

The current game is not much more than monster ball throwers vs monster bat swingers. Here's my fastest pitch - try to hit it.
OK - lemme swing as hard as I can but only if you throw it low enough for me to uppercut it.
No more actual pitchers vs actual hitters. Who adjusted to each other. That was baseball.
Now excuse me while I direct my fists towards the nearest cloud.

I think you’ve hit on it - the entire polling biz is built on the willingness to seize onto a false reality, rather than live with the uncertainty of life.
There is no more comprehensive display of polls uselessness than the Paxton/Cornyn runoff race. Every poll done said it was either tied, or that Paxton had a slight lead.
Paxton won with a 2-1 margin, one of the biggest blowouts in years. Not a single poll saw that coming - not a single poll was within 20 points of the actual result.
Polling in general has become complete garbage. Polling in Texas is double plus sized garbage.

This was built through decades of selective hiring, social enforcement, and the systematic purge of dissent.
And because they credential the people who run media, law, government, and tech, the monoculture leaks into every elite institution downstream.

They suspended "non-critical" vehicle stops.
"Critical" vehicle stops continue.
Also, ICE vehicles can follow cars until the cars come to a stop still.
I said it yesterday that the move was mostly PR, and it's increasingly looking like it.
But don't believe me, believe the people who said that immigration enforcement had already come to a complete halt months ago because of the killings of Goode and Pretti caused the administration to be afraid for the midterms. According to these people, ICE stopping all vehicle stops doesn't mean anything anyway because all deportations are done already.

An illegal migrant truck driver who killed three people after plowing into several vehicles on a Southern California freeway has been sentenced to less than five years in prison for the horrifying wreck. Jashanpreet Singh, 21, an Indian migrant who entered the US under the Biden administration, smashed into seven other vehicles on the 10 Freeway in Ontario in October 2025.

Remove that finding, and the whole regulatory scheme starts to fall apart, leaving the EPA’s climate authority without a real legal footing.
Yet the Justice Department’s position in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County is a mess. While the Trump EPA is trying to unwind the federal climate regime, the DOJ appears to be leaving the door open to the same broad Clean Air Act theory that made the regime possible in the first place. Climate activists will happily exploit that contradiction.

Did ya hear the word salad - losing track with the frequency - from Harris the other day? Anyway, everyone knows her staff put the condemnation of ICE on X, on July 14th, likely after getting just the right nuances from the heavy hitters such as UK Guardian (July 9, July 14) or AP News (July 10), and also Congressman (D-TX) Castro's outrageous press release of July 14.
👉Congressman Castro on ICE: “They've Engaged in Cold-Blooded Murder”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) joined the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) to speak out against ICE’s brutality and the killings of 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas, and of 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.

As to DHS/Markwayne Mullin
Media outlets are reporting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered a major retreat on its aggressive mass deportation tactics following intense political backlash and two fatal immigration shootings in a six-day span.
A quiet directive issued by the Trump administration represents a massive, sudden policy reversal after an initial July blitz that saw over 10,000 migrant arrests.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at July 15, 2026 09:47 AM (NFX2v)
Internal data leaked to The New York Times and AP News revealed that ICE kicked off its mid-summer offensive by arresting 10,000 people in a single five-day sprint at the very turn of the month. ICE also booked more detentions than it did during entire months under previous stretches of the Biden administration.
According to reporting from Vox, this record pace was driven by a quiet change in operational strategy. After facing severe public pushback from high-profile city sweeps earlier in the year, ICE leadership ordered agents to use quieter, individual lightning tactics.
This record-shattering trajectory is precisely why the subsequent operational pause—forced by the fatal shootings in Texas and Maine—has been viewed as such a massive, sudden disruption to the administration's core agenda.
Recent economic studies from the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Brookings Institution have shown that intense ICE sweeps trigger a massive "chilling effect" on businesses. For every single undocumented

Democrats' witness opposing Blanche's confirmation is more than an Epstein survivor
Senator Dick Durbin
1d
I’m announcing today that Liz Oyer and Dani Bensky will be the Democratic witnesses in opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination.
Liz Oyer served as the Justice Department’s nonpolitical pardon attorney. She was fired by Blanche for refusing to rubberstamp gun ownership rights to Mel Gibson, a convicted domestic violence abuser and friend of Donald Trump.
Dani Bensky is a brave survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes. Her name has been included in multiple batches of released Epstein Files, due to Todd Blanche’s failures. She’s attempted multiple times to redact her information without success.
They will offer compelling testimony about the dangers of Todd Blanche weaponizing the Justice Department in service of Donald Trump, rather than the American people.

- With memory being so wildly expensive these days, you might be wondering which memory you should buy.
And the answer is, in most cases, cheap memory. Or the cheapest you can find from a reliable retailer.
Intel has its CUDIMMs and AMD has its ULL memory. They are not worth buying.
For everyday tasks they make no difference, and for gaming the money is far better spent on a AMD Ryzen X3D CPU, or if you have an Intel system, on wishing you had an AMD system. The expanded cache on AMD's X3D CPUs makes memory speed largely irrelevant for most users, even gamers intent on wringing every last drop of performance out of their systems.
Intel will be shipping its own X3D equivalent later this year with its Nova Lake processors, which include up to 288MB of cache, though most users will do fine with half that much.
- Bonsai 27B is the Qwen 27B model squooshed into a bit and a bit. (PrismML)
Native Qwen 27B uses 16-bit floating point, so it needs 54GB of VRAM to run unrestricted. And 54GB of VRAM is quite expensive in the current market.
What the Bonsai process does is to prune it down to ternary or binary with scaling factors per group. In ternary form it fits in 5.9GB of VRAM, while retaining more than 90% of the capabilities of the full model.

This afternoon I have a video tour of another house. It looks great, but it's on the other side of the river from Terre Haute. Which means crossing by means of only two bridges to get to a lot of amenities. The town only has about 2200 residents. I know I said I wanted to live in a smaller community, but --! If you live in such a small place, say within five or ten miles of a larger town to which you have to travel for car repairs, medical, and the like, I'd like to hear your reactions.

Is he milk-treading you or anybody else in the household? Stirling still does it when he sits on my lap, and he's over four years old.
They adjust pretty fast. In my view, my cats have pretty much decided I was their human by the second or third day.

Not every kitten does it. None of the Siberians have, possibly because they didn't leave their mothers early to be adopted -- the breeder lady I've had three kittens from doesn't let them go out until they are five months old. On the other hand, big Arizona, the red tabby I adopted in '83 from the SPCA, never did it either, and he was only about six weeks old when I took him home. Maybe it depends to a degree on the personality of the kitten.

I will ask.
My vision was to live in a small city, perhaps 25-50K residents, small enough to get around easily but with various amenities like places to get my car worked on, a hospital or two, plumbers and electricians, etc. if smaller, then a short drive from a bigger town. This town is only about three or four miles west, but involves using one of two river bridges. And there is the possibility of floods from the river, though the house I'm looking at is not in a flood plain.

I had beers with my friend yesterday and continued them as I've been wrestling with AI to do some -what you would think would be simple tasks.
Only 4 beers. I should get some sleep but I can work now without babysitting Ralphy and carrying him up and down the stairs. Snowflake usually goes out at 5am latest but all today is messed up I guess.
I'll see how this script goes. And there was a large jump.
Here's Snowflake.

The devices I'm trying to power are stand-alone mini-PC's with lots of network connectors that I purchased from Ali Express back in 2024 (well before the memory debacle we're facing today.) They're going to be the new firewalls at my place and my mother's, running pfSense 2.7.2.
Anyhow, I've ordered three more, with slightly larger barrel connectors, (5.5x2.5) and I'm hoping I get the correct ones this time. The standardization on these things reminds me of that infamous XKCD comic:
https://xkcd.com/927/
Oh, and regarding the new firewalls: Mom has one of those newfangled "smart tv" things, which is great for her and she's really enjoying the stuff she can get on a couple of streaming services.
I want to segment her TV onto its own little VLAN so it can't even try to connect to her computer or see it on the network.

There is, and it's hideous.
There's a story on the local Fox outlet now about an uptown shopping district trying to drum up business during the hottest part of the year. They show people *sitting outdoors* to eat. The notion of paying $$$$ (all those places on the main shopping street are $$$$) to sit outside and sweat is . . . I can't deal, man, I just can't deal. . . .

yesterday . It was lovely . Some exercisers there ( joggers ) are so intent they don't even acknowledge if you say " Good morning" or maybe they are listening to music, but I didn't see any ear devices. We may not be training for the Olympics, but we did turn a bit off the beaten path to look at the lake and so saw a grey as well as a white heron striding in the water looking for fish. On our way back we saw a grey heron in a tree . It looked like it was cleaning itself and so had little pieces of branches or leaves it was pulling off . I think it's too late in the year for making a nest.
We also saw a lot of flowers by the water ( a lovely pink color ) as well as some leaves that had turned bright red on the ground . So nice to be out before it gets really warm.

Good points. A fifteen-minute drive to a Walmart once or twice a week wouldn't kill me -- I do more than that now -- or thirty to a good mechanic, which I also do now.
One nice thing is that the roads I've seen in the smaller town seem to be in much better condition than the side streets in the bigger town.

"It's hell making a living in Canada....."
Ain't that the truth. It absolutely infuriates me knowing that they're taking so much from me in taxes on income, purchases, fees, property, hidden things like carbon charges for energy, and of course at the end of your life, they'll try to claw as much of your estate back from you and your heirs as they can, and that's only going to get worse.
And then I watch them spend not only frivolously on themselves, but they throw a metric shitton of money at foreign governments as gifts and grants, while continuing to deficit-spend us into poverty.
I don't understand why this hasn't completely imploded yet. It really should have.

One of the interesting quirks about Portland, which I have usually lived near but rarely in, is the way that the East Side (east of 82nd Ave) is really the unwanted stepchild. IIRC, people loved the unincorporated land for being cheaper, but building it out without proper utility planning led to septic pollution, so a judge ultimately forced a shotgun wedding and made Portland take responsibility. But the City made the people on the side streets pay for their own paving if they wanted it, so many on that side of town are still gravel to this day.

My image of NYC was formed by TV in the '60s, and movies as well like Sunday in New York and The Odd Couple. The '70s there looked and sounded pretty bad. When I visited in '98, I found the same as you, pretty nice if you stayed in certain areas. I had no interest in fringe places; I stuck with the Upper West Side, midtown, Fifth Avenue, etc. It wasn't what I'd imagined from reading Rex Stout and watching/reading U.N.C.L.E., but it looked pretty good.

I watched the movie with Lemmon and Matthau the other day (still funny!), and at some point Oscar says it's an *eight*-room apartment. Of course he was "one of the highest-paid sportswriters on the East Coast," as he said.

When I was a kid in the early Sixties there, only the first six or seven blocks of Bourbon were Party World. Starting in the block where I lived and running another six or so to its end, Bourbon was residential with service businesses like a hardware store, a barber shop, laundromat, an upholstery shop, a grocery store, etc.
That downriver half of Bourbon is still residential, but those service businesses, I think, are all gone.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - July 14, 2026 [Doof]
Storming The Bastille!
Have you seen the bridge? Why truckers say the Gordie Howe bridge changes everything
After years of construction, months of anticipation, and one very public delay, the Gordie Howe International Bridge finally has an opening date – and Canada’s trucking industry says it can’t come soon enough. The long-awaited crossing between Windsor and Detroit will open to traffic on July 27 after Canada, Michigan, and the U.S. government reached an agreement following weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations over toll revenue and governance. For Stephen Laskowski, president and CEO of the Ontario Trucking Association and Canadian Trucking Alliance, the impact stretches far beyond truck drivers. *** Instead of navigating city traffic and multiple traffic lights, trucks will head straight to a modern border plaza designed to speed up inspections, particularly for agri-food shipments. The result, he said, is faster crossings, better security, and lower operating costs. The trucking industry estimates companies could save anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 annually, depending on the size of their fleet and how often they cross the border. Laskowski also believes having another major international crossing competing for commercial traffic will benefit the entire industry. Competition, he said, drives efficiency.Seems like the truckers should have just said "it'll be a beauty, eh?"
The Cape Bridges project reached a major milestone this week when the Federal Highway Administration approved the project’s final Environmental Impact Statement and issued a formal go-ahead. The action marks the first time that the Highway Administration has approved such a final statement for a roadway project in Massachusetts since 1991 and marks a significant step forward, according to a June 30 press release from the governor’s office. The state Department of Transportation is in charge of the project to replace the Sagamore and Bourne bridges.These new bridges will be used by the staff en route to/from the Northern Command of Doof Enterprises. There is an internal betting pool as to whether or not the Key Bridge near the Mid-Atlantic Command of Doof Enterprises will rebuilt before one or both of the Cape bridges. ----- This sound was a huge part of my pre-teen years!

[In retrospect, Disco Doof does not look favorably upon this]
“Montrose – we were about to explode,” he reflected to Guitar Player. “We were gonna be the American Led Zeppelin, and he couldn’t take it. I don’t know what it was. He was afraid of success. He’d sit there in the studio holding his face like, ‘Oh God, what are we gonna do?’ I’m like, ‘Fuck, let’s jam! Let’s make some music.’” Ronnie Montrose was one of the most in-demand session men in rock, having laid down guitar parts for the likes of Van Morrison, Edgar Winter, Herbie Hancock, and Boz Scaggs. Fancying his own project, he formed his namesake band in 1973 with a young Hagar behind the mic, cut the Montrose and Paper Money LPs before Hagar was fired, precipitating his solo career. Such fraught relationships with his band members and the routine dismissal of new recruits would scupper whatever momentum Montrose had enjoyed. “I’ve never seen a guy like that,” Hagar added. “He fired everybody. The second you had one smidgen of success with him, he broke up the band.” Montrose would continue without Hagar, but the hard rock explosion they promised was never realised, their founding guitarist smoothing the sound to a funkier direction with Bob James fronting the new style while Van Halen was conquering the Billboard charts. A string of solo albums would follow across the 1990s before he sadly took his own life in 2012.

Man, I fucking love Savatage.

"Red Rider, later known as Tom Cochrane & Red Rider, is a Canadian rock band popular in the 1980s. While they achieved significant success in Canada, the band never had a song in the top 40 in the United States, although "Lunatic Fringe" from their second album, 1981's As Far as Siam, became popular on US album-oriented rock radio Continued in Wikipedia"

We started doing fellowship dinners at church, sometimes on feast days - just to have a reason to get together. We were going to do one (maybe) on the Feast of the Martyrdom of John the Baptist. I wanted to do a cake on a silver platter - head-shaped.
For some reason we didn't manage to get that fellowship dinner together. /sigh/

There are quite a few old time radio programs that are largely available today only because they were recorded to disk and mailed overseas for military broadcasts on AFRTS.
One of the more popular (I guess) radio programs of all time was “Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons” and ran for over 20 years, but less than 50 episodes are extant.

I went over this with Grok (which is great for this kind of specific thing), to make sure I had it straight in my head.
Their local reference frame was inertial and "aligned with the fixed stars" frame (Mr. Einstein and spacetime curvature ignored as they are vanishingly small here). This frame was called the "Basic Reference Coordinate System" strangely enough and was very, very close to the standard astronomical frame know as ECI. X axis points to the equinox and the Z axis is aligned with the earth's pole.
So, your 8-ball horizon would be the equatorial plane of the Erf.
The origin of that was the center of the Erf but they switched to the Moon's center when the spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence. But the XYZ axes maintained the ECI like alignment.

The answer from the tiktokiots is...raise the minimum wage! Or...have the government give people more money by taxing whoever they don't like this week.
But costs aren't supposed to be going up...they are supposed to be going down. Look at TVs. You can buy a TV better then the best TV 20 years ago for 1/5th the price and in modern Bidenbux no less!
This is the same progression everything you buy should have gone through over the last 20 years. Why hasn't it? Well...government. Everything government gets involved with explodes in cost and then of course the cost of that government further spikes costs via inflation.
So the answer? STOP THE SPENDING. Let's have a few years with no cash transfers outside of SS at the state or federal level. You want someone to be able to live ok off a McDs salary? You'll get it. Just like what happened with TVs but now with everything.

There is sunken Liberty ship, SS Richard Montgomery, which has been sitting in the Thames estuary since 1944 with its masts sticking above the water as if warning passing ships to steer well clear.
And ships are well advised to steer clear as the wreck contains some 1,400 tonnes of explosives aboard that have never been removed.
Now the British are going forward with a daft scheme to cut away the masts and display them ashore. The same masts which are a big clue to other ships to stay out of the exclusion zone.
What could go wrong? The Francis Scott Key bridge fiasco would like to have word with the British.

Thomas Paine was imprisoned there after being sentenced to die. The jailers put a chalk mark on the outside of the cell doors for those scheduled for the guillotine.
Paine writes that they omitted him because his cell door was open, & so they didn't notice the chalk mark. No problem. Just correct the mistake on the following day.
That night, Robespierre fell. Thus, Paine writes, his life was saved.

More clarification on the 8-ball horizon. The Basic Reference Coordinate System, very close to modern ECI, was the master inertial frame. At any time, the current alignment of the IMU might vary. The particular alignment in use at any time was dubbed the REFSMMAT, "Reference to Stable Member Matrix". This was a rotation matrix, 3D, which described the relative rotation to the BRCF.
So, the 8-ball horizon, would be whatever happened to be the XY plane of the given REFSMMAT.

Get yourself on your hands and knees. Pick one leg, whichever is your stronger and better balance leg and move from your knee to your foot. Put the hand on the side of that leg on your knee and support yourself with your foot and the opposite hand that is still on the floor. Then move your other leg from your knee to your foot so now you are crouching on both feet. Then stand up.
Practice that a few times a day until it become second nature.

Today I had (x 3 million it feels like) a skin biopsy due to my vast history of skin cancer for now most of my life. Which is nothing compared to what others face.
The only good thing about it is seeing the freaks of people who are at this university hospital, walking the halls. I saw one tattoo "visitor" with a man who looked worse than her...and she had at least 3 septum cattle rings. A group of med students walked by saying, "they are dropping like flies." They did not come from the door where I'd be called.
The MD, RN and ARNP told me I was delightful to meet. I asked my husband later if they were mocking me and he said, no, that I am very entertaining.
I have no idea what I yammered about as when under a tiny bit of stress things flow. I am used to biopsies and would rather not be there, but I am a delightful patient to meet.
Heaven knows compared to the freaks I saw in the hallways I would agree with them. They are probably a lot stupider than me as well.

We had one of those. We had a couple different Griswold family trucksters, faux wood paneling of course, including a Pontiac Bonneville 455 which I eventually inherited when it was well into beater territory.

Instead I had an ejector car seat with a plastic steering wheel. I also used to stand in the back of my mother's red Pontiac convertible and at stop lights warn others that my mother was driving and to get out of the way (I was said to be 2yrs old). My parents did not care if I was ejected.
My husband (same age) was a wicked toddler who would rock his crib to the dresser and climb down and apparently wake everyone. There was some sort of straight jacket for toddler's cribs and his horrible parents used one on him. In spite of them he's the best of the litter in all ways.

They can go ahead and fuel the pyre with all existing copies of the sheet music for the Marsellaise, for good measure. Their subsequent insults against and G-d and man alike in the modern era and their pitiful submission to Islam warrant the execration of their national memory.

Many rest stops along the highways are still very nice and seem safe. Others not so much. A couple of years ago I happened to be driving east from El Paso on I10 and the sun came up in an absolutely beautiful sunrise in the middle of nowhere in Texas just as I came upon a rest stop. I pulled over and the ground was covered in trash. I quickly got my photo and left, a little worried about running over something that might puncture a tire.

Isometric exercise. Visualize and do. Pull the navel to the spine as close as possible, tighten, hold for 10. Repeat ten times. Do it before arising in the morning. It also helps to draw the knees up before beginning. Do it while driving. While walking is advanced.
While driving hold the wheel at 3 & 9 pressing hands toward each other then do the isometric.

It's mostly not appropriate for men to talk about the things they really like and want to do so "beat me up mommy" works as something of a publicly acceptable substitute.

If you can get from your back or side to all fours, you can get up.
Ask you PT or OT to show you. It’s not necessarily strength. It’s technique. You can do it. Learn how. Before you need to.
Please.
And practice. Every day.

Magnesium oil is for topical application only. FO NOT TAKE ORALLY!
Apply magnesium oil to the bottom of your feet before bed. It helps with sleep and lower leg cramping.
Wash your hands after application so you don’t inadvertently rub your eyes during sleep. It helps me.

I am not so committed to French that I want change my preferred language: it’s just that if you try to type French on the fly with English as your preferred language, you’ll need to check every word to see that it hasn’t “corrected” it to the closest English equivalent. Interestingly, c’est drôle passes autocucumber muster with no changes. Must be used often enough in English to be accepted.

I had to just kind of weeble-wobble back and forth like a flipped turtle until I could get on all fours and crawl back upstairs, since I was alone in the house.
Got myself to the freezer in the kitchen and hauled myself up to where I could grab some ice and whiskey. After a couple hours of ice and whiskey, I got to standing with the help of the counter and some shelves, splinted the thumb with chopsticks and duct tape, retrieved the phone and called my girlfriend for help.
At the end of it, I felt more sorry for poor Sancho than myself. You never saw a more pathetic dog in your life. He thought he killed me and just stood there crying the whole time.

Oh, the car.
My car broke down in Balmorhea, TX and there was no fixing it within 100 miles. The AAA guy took about four hours to get there. He offered to buy it from me and tow me to El Paso, where I could fly the rest of the way home.
It was mebbe a 3-hour drive. I get in the cab with him and I hear "Hello!" His wife was in the back, with -- a little girl. Then another little girl rolled out of nowhere. Then a third hopped out of nowhere else. Not in many years have I seen kids hop, fly, lie down, dance, bounce around, and defy gravity inside a moving vehicle the way those kids did. Every now and then the dad would stretch his arm back and snap his fingers very emphatically, they'd calm down for 30 seconds and start flying around again. Funniest jumble of a ride I ever had. I had fun talking to those people.

The bartender beats the guy up and throws him out.
The following night the guy returns and makes the same order. "One beer for me, one for you, and one for everyone who's here!" The bartender thinks "He can't be that brazen. He must have money today."
So he serves beer to everyone. Again the man walks out after he's done. "Hey! What about the bill?" "I don't have any money."
The bartender beats the man up again and throws him out.
Third night. The man says: "One beer for me and one for everyone who's here in the bar." The bartender asks "What about me? Don't I get a beer?
"No. You get way too aggressive when you drink."

That sounds like fate, or God’s Providence. I know that after I met my wife in science fiction circles in New Orleans in 1991, I had already seen her from the Masquerade at NolaCon II, the 46th World Science Fiction Convention, held in New Orleans in 1988. She was in a group display with several of her friends. I actually saw her backstage as I was helping a friend photograph the costumes. Didn’t meet her till 1991 when we were introduced by a mutual friend at the wedding of a Marine Captain who was also a science fiction fan and a mutual friend, just not the one who did the introductions.

I watched some Pakistanis making .30 Mauser pistol ammo. When it was time to charge the primed cases with powder, the worker (who was sitting on the floor) placed a bunch of them mouth-up in a tray, poured powder over the cases, struck off the excess with a straight-edge, and handed the tray off to the next guy.

Oh, the car.
My car broke down in Balmorhea, TX and there was no fixing it within 100 miles. The AAA guy took about four hours to get there. He offered to buy it from me and tow me to El Paso, where I could fly the rest of the way home.”
Balmorhea! We stopped there once to go to the famous swimming area. Well worth it! The best swimming pool in the absolute middle of nowhere you’ll ever find. Like 2 huge swimming pools joined together at right angles except it’s 25 feet deep and at the bottom there’s a river bed with boulders and aquatic plants and fish. People bring scuba gear to go down into it.
But you’re right , it is a long way from anywhere! Real close to that “Y” where I-20 and I-10 join up (if you’re headed west)

Not quite true. The public was sick of high gas prices, because that affects them personally. But most don’t give a shit one way or the other about the actual war.
Which is the primary reason I have been advocating, do whatever we can to have full control of shipping through the straits. The rest of the country can go hang as long as we control that COMPLETELY.

Well, here's what my bot said:
Although Rhea is an Irish (and also Scottish) surname, Balmorhea itself is not an Irish name.
The town's name is an invented combination of the surnames of its founders and developers:
Bal — from Ernest D. Balcom
Mor — from H. R. Morrow
Rhea — from John and Joe Rhea
Together they formed Bal-Mor-Rhea, which became Balmorhea.
So the ending "-rhea" comes from the surname Rhea, which does have Irish roots in many families, but Balmorhea is a uniquely Texan place name rather than a name of Irish origin. It's pronounced BAL-muh-RAY, not "bal-mor-HEE-uh."

My maternal grandmother put my mom on a tether, and she was born in.. what.. like 1945? 46? Admittedly it was considered very peculiar at the time, but many decades later she was diagnosed with ADD, once it was a thing that doctors were equipped to recognize. (And it has to be pretty severe to spot it in an adult, after they've developed a range of coping mechanisms.) It was likely a matter of simple necessity.

I don't know why spending hours and hours making sausage is fun. It sure is a lot of work! And it makes a holy cow of dirty dishes. But my 11yo loves helping me run the Kitchen Aid grinder attachment.
My wife was away the last five days in Victoria with her mother & sisters. I had a great time taking over the cooking (for myself and the six kids): pad kee mao, pah see ew, pulled pork, kugua niurou (1/3 with kugua and 2/3 with bok choi to keep the kids happy), and beef barbacoa. But if I had to do this full time, the whole house would fall apart. Thank goodness she got home today.
The Costco here sells pork shoulders in pairs, so I'm trying to use the other one. And the liver from the last two or three half-cows that we never use. 5 pounds of shoulder for sausage and 3 for capicola. As usual with my meat projects, the capicola will be ready just in time for a fast. At least we have a few days to eat it this time. . . .

my buddy had an old ross bicycle that he wrote "bad motor scooter" on one side of the top tube in 'pactra modeling paint. years later my guzzi had one speaker that would play that if you pressed the button. "get on your bad moto guzzi and ride!"

A genuine 1980 photograph shows the supertanker Esso Languedoc being struck by a massive rogue wave off Durban, South Africa. Captured by the ship's chief officer, the image remains one of the most famous examples of extreme ocean conditions. The photograph captured what many scientists once considered nearly impossible: a rogue wave. Taken in 1980 as the oil supertanker Esso Languedoc sailed off Durban, South Africa, it shows a towering wall of water rising far above the ship's bow. The crew estimated the wave reached around 25--30 meters (82--98 feet) high. For much of the 20th century, rogue waves were often treated as sailor's tales because traditional wave models suggested such extreme events were almost impossible. Images like this, combined with eyewitness accounts, helped change scientific understanding. Later advances in satellite monitoring, ocean buoys, and modeling confirmed that rogue waves are real and can form when multiple wave systems combine their energy into a single massive crest. The waters off South Africa are especially dangerous because powerful Southern Ocean swells can collide with the strong Agulhas Current, creating unpredictable sea conditions. In 1995, the Draupner oil platform in the North Sea recorded the first scientifically measured rogue wave, a 25.6-meter (84-foot) wave that provided definitive proof these extreme events exist.

Man, was I watching a freaky thing about blindness and schizophrenia today. It turns out blind people don't get schizophrenic, because schizophrenia is some mismatch between an expected sensation (visual in this case) and a delivered sensation. People who are blind from birth have no expected sensation, so they never get a mismatch.
It got me to wondering how they build up their library of expected sensations if they get eyesight later in life.

My future ex husband and I were on a hiking trip along the western WA coast up by Shi Shi beach. We had a friend’s doggo with us, a lab mix named Fido. Great dog.
So we walked along the rocky beach, over huge logs and found a really big log that reached out over the water. We all walked out on the log to check it out. My ex plopped down, cracked a beer and gave a big huzzah.
Fido and I looked at each other and walked back about 200 feet and sat down.
Not two minutes later, a sneaker wave built up and completely douched my ex sitting on the log. It completely covered him. As it receded, he was clinging to the log, soaking wet, rocks in his beer, gasping for air.
Fido and I were laughing. Never seen a dog laugh before. This dog was laughing.

I was about 25 feet from the shore off Oahu, busy beach, lots of people. But I was in a spot that I couldn’t make headway. I would swim as hard as I could just to stay in one spot, and then try to gain some distance when the wave started coming in. It was exhausting. When I finally got back on land I decided to stay there for a while.

Ugh, I got caught in a rip once, also barely offshore, but FUCK, I couldn't touch the bottom and I couldn't get back. It was a cold beach, and my wetsuit was waterlogged. Finally got back in somehow. I was thinking at the time, if I'd had a phone on me while I was being slapped by waves from both directions (waterproof of course) I'd have been tempted to dial 911.

Rips don't just go out to see, they also run parallel to the shore. Around here that is very common. And if you try to swim through it most will get carried down the beach and out anyway and be exhausted when they do get out.
So yea, don't fight the rip. Ride it until you are out of it then swim to shore.

One day a new guy gets assigned to the boat and chief walked up to him and told him that he's been assigned as chief's underway wife. Guy gulped and asked what that meant. Chief tells him that they bunk together, shower together, that sort of thing.
The look on his face was priceless.

Unfortunately, xcancel won't accept the extended URL info (starting with "?") so I still have to delete that before it works. Still, at least I don't have to re-edit the x part every time.

Inflation Fell by the Greatest Amount Since 2020, Due to the Suspension of the Iran War
Unfortunately this False Peace is now over.
But one can see the inflation was only due to Iran blowing up oil ships transiting the Strait.Indeed, now that the psychopaths of Iran have forced the US to begin pounding them again, oil prices have shot back up.
Inflation slowed in June by its largest monthly drop since April 2020 on falling energy prices -- slashing the odds the Fed will raise interest rates at its meeting this month. The Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% in June over the past 12 months, cooling off from 4.2% in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday. On a monthly basis, the inflation rate declined 0.4% -- more than expectations of a 0.2% dip. Core CPI -- the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, which excludes volatile food and energy prices -- ticked down to 2.6%, still well above central bankers' 2% goal. ... "Tuesday's weaker-than-expected CPI print suggests the inflation surge driven by the Iran war is fading, but this may just be a temporary relief as tensions have escalated in recent days," Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital, said in a note Tuesday.
Trump's idea that he would charge ships the US was protecting a 20% charge has been retracted.
Blockade underway: The US has reimposed its naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to a US military statement. The US previously enforced a blockade between April and June. • Ceasefire in tatters: The US military has also launched its fourth consecutive day of strikes on Iranian targets. State media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas and several locations near Sirik. Meanwhile, Iran has targeted US allies in the region, including Kuwait. • Trump rescinds toll decision: US President Donald Trump announced earlier he will not impose a 20% reimbursement fee on cargo moving through the Strait of Hormuz, saying it will be replaced by Gulf state investments in the US. • Oil prices rise: Global oil prices are up sharply, with benchmark Brent crude rising to its highest level in over a month.
President Trump backed off his proposed 20% toll on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday in favor of investment in the US by Persian Gulf states. Trump said in a Truth Social post the reversal was "[b]ased on highly productive conversations with Middle East Leadership." "Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future," he added. Trump also claimed that exports of oil were "flowing like never before" thanks to recent US airstrikes on Iran, and "the Strait of Hormuz is open to All Ship traffic except for Iran -- and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION." ... Trump announced the new tolling scheme on Monday, declaring that the US would be the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz and would collect a reimbursement equal to 20% of all cargo value, which one shipping industry expert predicted could amount to $200 billion annually. "We'll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the strait, and we should be reimbursed for that," Trump had suggested during an interview on "Fox & Friends."The US is pounding IRGC headquarters and weapons depots, as well as naval assets on the coast.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. Commodity price increases do not cause inflation. Prices rise, demand falls.
Government spending causes inflation and Trump crushing grants and DEI garbage is reducing the money supply, lowering inflation.

If you want to know what monetary inflation does, note that oil hovered around $2 a barrel for about 20 years.
Interestingly enough, Corn was at times, $2 a bushel in the 1910s. And the 1920s. And the 1930s. And the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s
And the 1980s, and the 1990s. And the … forget it. You get the idea.

Trump administration has no long term plan. He always acts on impulse. No strategic thinking at all
Trump was played by Israel. Convinced it would be easy. Every president for the past several decades was smart enough to know this was a losing battle. Trump is not smart enough to understand this. He is also making hundreds of millions as he manipulates markets. So he doesn’t care.
Absolutely agree. Trump is clutching at straws desperate for control. In order for him to ever have any element of control he’d need to destroy Iran which could take years of more war
We need China to somehow get dragged into this and actually put America in their place
I think if you unilaterally launch a war on the other side of the world, you totally deserve to FAFO.

Maybe because we just found it. Or maybe it wasn't being used until now.
Target lists change. They evolve. New ones emerge. I know people want to hear that if you have a really spiffy plan you can with 100% certainty win a war in three weeks or whatever your preferred time frame is, and if the war doesn't end, why then the plan was crap! Fire the generals! Trump lied!!1
But in reality, we have to accept tradeoffs and limitations. Iran was always going to be a tough nut to crack and I'm absolutely sure that I went back in time and did a poll on this Smart Military Blog asking how many people thought Trump would smash Iran's nuclear program, gut its missile, air and sea power, completely isolate it from the Muslim world AND do it while keeping oil under $100 a barrel with less than two dozen American casualties, I bet the universal opinion would be that I was smoking Jackstraw's whole stash at once.

No, they want to understate the true nature of the currency devaluations because Social Security and other government salary scales are COLA dependent.
It is difficult to make comparisons over time, even if one isn’t being purposefully deceitful.
But people somehow raised a family as a single breadwinner. Mom stayed home with the kids. They could afford to buy a house. Maybe not a big house, but it was theirs. They could afford to buy a car. Medical expenses did not bankrupt people.
Real estate wasn’t unobtainable. Americans have basically been mugged, robbed, knifed, and left to die in a dark alley.

I don't think Trump should have sold as hard as he did that he was going to bring prices down.
His claim for 3+% growth in his first term turned out to be based on something, so I was hopeful that maybe he knew a way to decrease prices.

I have a study of the Iran - Iraq war. Everything you said is absolutely spot on...but there is room to wiggle with "gutting its missile power" part. They missile war between Iran and Iraq suggests they are really good at building and launching missiles...pretty darned quickly and cheaply. They prepped for it. Sure a modified SCUD B is a shitty system, but it still sucks if you're standing where it lands.

I see the thought process: maybe Iran complies and we accomplish our goals quickly and peacefully. If not, they're the ones that broke the deal, which gives us political cover for military action.
The problem is no one actually cares about the political cover excuse, and the negotiations were destined to fail. Best to have obliterated them from the start to finish things as far from the midterms as possible...unless there was an ulterior motive (like we needed time to rearm advanced weapons and target critical sites after the Iranians reorganized).

And it should reduce spending to as much as it can get away with.
Because it’s really simple: to tame inflation, a society must spend its money on 1) a good or 2) a service. Government is neither. In fact, imagine how much inflation would come down if a budget was announced, it was balanced, and ther was even money to patty down a portion of the debt.

It is difficult to make comparisons over time, even if one isn’t being purposefully deceitful.
But people somehow raised a family as a single breadwinner. Mom stayed home with the kids. They could afford to buy a house. Maybe not a big house, but it was theirs. They could afford to buy a car. Medical expenses did not bankrupt people.
Real estate wasn’t unobtainable. Americans have basically been mugged, robbed, knifed, and left to die in a dark alley.

Americans have been left behind because the vanished middle class has had their money forcibly taken away by the government to give free stuff to millions of non productive people.
Charity used to start and stay in the local community but the federal government in the 60s decided they were going to be "compassionate" and take over helping people over their rough spots. johnson and his great society put this country on a downward spiral that continues to grow at an exponential rate.

Someone --- gosh I can't think of his name just now -- did a debate with a muzzie that was on social media a lot. And he brought up one of my favorite points - that the West doesn't wipe out the muzzie lands because of our morals, and he used that in the debate to refute the argument that the West was immoral.
It's a good point. Now consider if China, or islam gain the power to enforce their will -- do you think China will hesitate to claim the "nine dash line" now includes all the oil reserves in M. E.?

We destroyed their factories. Power plants are next. They have no regenerative capability, all they can do is dig deeper into stocks we haven't found and destroyed.
People need to understand one very important thing: a defanged Iran is as good as beaten. Without power projection, they can rage at us all they want. Shake their fists on the shore as the tankers stream by.

The Persian Government has proven to be willing to negotiate with the US. IOW, the IRGC is isolated. Nasty people to be put down. So, yes, the MoU was a masterstroke. Thank you, DJT!

Whether you like the way Trump and team are going about this systematic destruction of Iran until they relent they obviously have a plan. They might adjust as conditions warrant but it's beyond obvious he doesn't want to flatten Iran the way some want, he wants to leave a somewhat functioning country behind. All those millions of innocent Iranian people many were concerned about at the start of the war are going to need a somewhat functional country. He also has a region full of new allies and he probably is getting asked not to create a flood of immigrants looking for a place to go.

You as a citizen and voter need to suffer equally within reason. Besides 14% (your side and employer side) of SSI people need to pay about 5 to 7% of their income in taxes even if they make $100k as a family.
April 15th needs to hurt like a snake bite.
Long term gains need to approach zero in about year 3 to 5.
If you put up $100k in 2026 and it is worth $300k in 2029 govt gets about $60k, for zero skin in the game.
In the 3rd year it should be 5% or so as that $100k let the company work, build, pay employees, pay taxes, and improve the USA.

I recently read an excellent book called "Queen Victoria's Little Wars". Punitive expeditions against tiresome locals (usually Muslim) was extremely common. Because British and Empire casualties were quite low, there wasn't much reaction to the umpteenth war along what is now the Pakistani border.
But the trick is to get retards (our retards, the left's retards are incorrigible) to stop sperging every time force is being used somewhere. This site is full of people who claim to hate Islam, and yet a approach that treats them like weeds that have be periodically whacked is responded to as though it is the same as a peer conflict with ground troops.

Iran is getting smacked silly on a world-historic scale. Iran's literally hoping that we stop because are arms get tired. Or maybe our fists get tender from breaking their nose 20+ times.
This is not like the Southern Watch/Northern Watch with Saddam in the 1990s. Iran has been pulverized. We're sailing suicide drones into their harbors. They have no money, only small arms, and all their neighbors hate them.

And Iran could end quickly the same way. But do we want that?
The issue, and I have said this in the past, is that the IRGC does not control everything. Neither does the Mullah. The command structure is so fractured that we are looking at a variety of clans and separate command trying to figure out what the fu*k to do. And of course, being a muzzie, anything fired at you is a mark on your manhood so missiles must be fired back.

When I went to grad school I bought a cheap house. Two bedroom, one bath, about 800 square feet.
Built in the late '40s, just post-WWII with no upgrades to speak of since. I penciled it out and figured I could save money plus not have to deal with a landlord.
I bought it from the family of an old lady who was going into care. She and two husbands raised four kids in that two bedroom, one bath, 800 square foot house.
You can't even legally build an 800 square foot house in many locations nowadays.
That's how they were able to "afford to buy a house".

Back in the 80s during the tanker wars we welded stanchions all over our ships to mount extra .50 cals on them. My buddy was on an FFG and they stopped in the philippines on their way to the gulf and they pulled out two WWII twin 40mm AA mounts and welded them to the bridge wings before they were deployed to the gulf.

So Zhang Youxia was supposedly purged in February, but his name is still on the PLA web site. He was (is?) the vice-chair of the Central Military Commission, which is the C2 for the entire PLA. Orders flow not from the President, but from the CMC, which the President (Xi Jinping) chairs.
This guy is one of their last combat vets and has a massive patronage network. He was Xi's ally but has been betrayed. Xi is purging his own guys. There are rumors that there will be a coup on or after 8/1, the PLA's birthday. The PLA has to be able to celebrate it, and the parades will give cover to move troops to Beijing.

The goal doesn’t have to be to make them surrender, the goal is to make them stop throwing missiles at their neighbors and funding proxy armies all over the Middle East. They’re like the mule that has to be hit over the head with a 2x4 to understand anything; and they’re especially stubborn asses, so they will probably have to be hit over the head a couple of hundred times before it starts to sink in that “hey this sucks.”

Iran doesn’t have to possess the straight to control it. They only need to plausibly threaten it and get one or two major players to go along, i.e. China and EU.
Posted by: Accomack at July 14, 2026 06:56 PM (T8bqm)
Well as TJM often notes, a lot of that traffic is going through pipelines now, but you are correct that getting tankers to go through the strait and stop being scaredy-cats would be extremely helpful. You probably would have to replace the dot Indians who run these ships (presumably at cut-rate wages), with slightly more doughty sailors though.
Maybe we can guarantee the oil in Gulf Monarchy tankers if they replace the incompetent and easily scared dot Indians in the crews?

The issue, and I have said this in the past, is that the IRGC does not control everything. Neither does the Mullah. The command structure is so fractured that we are looking at a variety of clans and separate command trying to figure out what the fu*k to do. And of course, being a muzzie, anything fired at you is a mark on your manhood so missiles must be fired back.
Its a mess and nothing short of total conquest, either from internal or external forces will fix it.
Posted by: Diogenes at July 14, 2026 06:54 PM (2WIwB)
Possibly, if as part of the deal is the IGRC gets bought off and some other set of factions moves into control that will spin down the worldwide mullah terror army. Problem is that the IGRC gonna be the loser if that happens so they vote no and pop off a drone to demonstrate it.
I figure at some point they will look impotent enough someone will be able to purge them, or take over a district or port city and perhaps Arab ground forces can defend the area with our air support and form a nucleus for local forces to be raised, or change sides.

The big difference is, the US has the capability and resources to pull off otherwise impossible movements in seemingly minimal time. Throw enough money around, and you can get contractors and foreign nations to assist moving virtually unlimited amounts of personnel and equipment. And there are thousands of planners at all echelons with movement plans involving rails, ships, aircraft, etc, to all parts of the world. It IS incredibly complex, and kind of a modern miracle that the US can execute it so well. Our ability to project force globally is what really defines us as a superpower above all other nations.

Yeah, I was a kid, but some things you remember. We got the Checkpoint Alpha briefing with the slide show on a slide projector (!) and as it ended the soldier giving the brief said “One last thing - no trading with the Soviets. Yes, they WILL ask.” Sure enough, at each stop, the Soviets would try trading items with the old man. He got in the truck (compact four banger that was probably a Lamborghini compared to the Trabbis) at one point and said “The Russians are comical.”

151 but mounting 50 cals on even cargo ships with military crews would see those boats off.
There’s been a video on X of a Russian training exercise I wish I had the link to! They’ve got a pair of AA machine guns on a swivel mount, the trainee gets behind and fires. Well it starts to spin like a mad merry go round, WHILE firing continuously, he’s hanging on with his hands while his legs are flying behind before he’s spun off, and everyone hits the deck as the gun is now firing in a wild 360 degree pattern til the magazine gives out.
I swear, that’s gotta be the most Russian thing ever.

Rather an odd designation.
Posted by: Mike Hammer
Naval guns, as I understand, use an old, unusual system of terminology (like everything else in the navy). The first number is the barrel diameter (3 inch). The second number is the length of the barrel. 50 caliber mean 50 times the barrel diameter, so 150 inches.

No one, among the countries that can, us being one of the few, do wide area bombing anymore. It is considered impolite and only polite wars are allowed. Every thing is pin point attack which can designate a .00001% of that area.

Since they didn’t bomb Hanoi until 1972, that’s a distinction without a difference, isn’t it?
Gen. Curtis LeMay said (about 1965) “Stop swattin flies, and go after the manure pile”.
It isn’t that he was a deranged warmonger, but he rightly pointed out “Limited war” is total bullshit. Either go in to win it, or don’t bother.

Charity used to start and stay in the local community but the federal government in the 60s decided they were going to be "compassionate" and take over helping people over their rough spots. johnson and his great society put this country on a downward spiral that continues to grow at an exponential rate. (Truth. Charity is part of civil society. Government used to shut up and let civil society run rampant. Now government is AT WAR with civil society because as long as it exists people can turn to it and not politicians.)

Prices swung wildly and deflationary crises were real things. The Fed was installed to smooth that out, which to some degree they have done, though they still ease and tighten too late, and thus do their own version of economic damage.
They are much better than other central banks, mostly because our economy is so much better.

Chuck Grassley
@ChuckGrassley 4h I received records frm DOJ confirming Jack Smith's investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Im 1 of the 44
Im alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence
The House will vote to make Daylight Savings Time permanent. No more changing clocks every six months like a mental patient.
Ana Paulina Luna has been holding up all legislation until the traitor Thune forces the SAVE Act through. Mike Johnson has offered Luna attaching as the SAVE Act is attached to a bill funding the State Department. Mitch McConnell's Rent-Boy has already said he'll strip it out.
The U.S. House will vote this week on a bill making daylight savings time permanent, despite warnings from medical, education and safety organizations. The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, which would end the nearly nationwide biannual clock changing and make daylight savings time permanent year-round, advanced out of committee Monday afternoon. States that use standard time year-round -- currently only Arizona and Hawaii -- before the law goes into effect wouldn't have to change.
Yeah he doesn't care. The entire purpose of the GOPe is to betray and restrain conservative voters. They're proud to do it. Mamdani ran on a platform of bringing rents down. Despite thousands of people fleeing the shithole city of NYC, rents just hit their highest levels in history.
Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said she'll support a procedural rule that would allow the House to consider a bill to fund the State Department and a measure to make daylight savings time permanent. "We will try the MIRV process on the condition that Speaker Johnson attaches the SAVE America Act to all the appropriation bills and all must-pass bills here in the House and ensures it is sent to the Senate as one bill," Luna said on X. The vote to reopen the House floor on Tuesday would end a power struggle between Luna and Speaker Mike Johnson over the election security bill, the SAVE America Act, Politico reported. Johnson has said he'll facilitate a process that would attach the SAVE American Act to a bill to fund the State Department. Luna and other Republicans believe the maneuver will make it hard for the Senate to oppose the funding packages. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said he won't go for the plan, and Luna's statement put pressure on the South Dakota Republican to reconsider. "If John Thune strips it out in the Senate that will be on him and the entire country should be watching what he does. If he wants to actively work against Voter I.D. & the SAVE America Act he must face the consequences of his actions. His State party should censure him and/or he should be primaried if he wants to betray his constituents in this manner. That is the nature of politics," Lunsa said.
Under the leadership of race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, rent in Manhattan has risen to an all-time high of $5,295 a month, representing a nearly 10 percent increase year-over-year. ... With the cost of living booming and Mamdani backing a "tax the rich" agenda to pay for his hyped-up socialist policies, New York City seems to be dying. A study from the New York Post showed that the city lost nearly $11 billion in tax revenue after a mass exodus of millionaires. Meanwhile, 40 percent of New York City's units are occupied by foreign born tenants, many of whom filled vacancies left after caravans fled the city during the COVID pandemic.Mamdani and his communists are doing such a great job they've voted themselves all a massive pay raise.
NYC Council members want to give themselves 18.2% pay hike -- and set automatic increases every year after
Pay yourself first -- over and over again! Shameless city lawmakers are pushing to give themselves eye-watering 18.2% raises -- in a scheme that will also give them automatic pay hikes of at least 2% every year in the future. City Council Member Nantasha Williams (D-27) introduced a bill that would inflate her and her colleagues' salaries from $148,500 to $175,500 backdated to January, while also ballooning pay for the mayor, the City Council speaker and other elected positions. The bill comes days after the lawmakers signed off on a record-breaking $126 billion city budget and includes salaries even higher than a 16% raise the council tried to sneak by in a similar bank-account boosting measure at the end of their session last year. And the bill also ensures taxpayers will be on the hook to pay elected officials more every year -- with no requirement for public debate or a City Council vote.
Under the proposed law, if the council doesn't vote to hike salaries for four years, raises kick in anyway, at either 2% per year or 8.25% overall -- whichever is less. ... The mayor's salary would also get boosted from $258,750 to $305,800 and Council Speaker Julie Menin's would rise from $164,500 to $194,000 -- though both leaders have said they wouldn't take the pay bumps. Mamdani hasn't taken a stance on whether he was in favor of the hikes and said he'd leave it for the City Council to debate.

Fuck you.
The author of an acclaimed book about slavery is crying racism after her writing came under scrutiny by scholars for questionable assertions and sloppy sourcing. Kerri Greenidge's 2022 book "The Grimkes," which tells the story of a prominent South Carolina slaveholder family who later played a role in the abolitionist movement, was lauded by critics and won the American Historical Association's Joan Kelly Memorial Prize. But skepticism grew as her prose came under the microscope by historians and scholars, including Myra Glenn, an author and retired American history professor at Elmira College. In a 2024 examination of "The Grimkes," Glenn called it "deeply flawed," and called out that Greenidge "all too often lacks the evidence to substantiate many of her major claims." She added that "her work is also riddled with factual errors and repeatedly omits needed endnotes." Presented with these and other disputed findings discovered through Glenn's analysis by the New York Times, Greenidge immediately cast herself as the victim, and accused her growing roster of critics of racism. "I am heartbroken that a field I have given my life to can treat me this way," she told the outlet. "The attack on Black women academics is real."

We tried permanent DST in the early '70s, under Nixon IIRC. It lasted one winter, and then was repealed.
I predict the same thing will happen again. When it gets around the winter solstice in the western edges of the higher latitude time zones where it's pretty far west to begin with relative to true local mean time, sunrise can push past 9AM. That didn't fly at all.

Michigan upper peninsula is pretty bad, and even Indiana pushes Eastern Time pretty far west.
Go to time.gov to see the boundaries.
Originally, time zones were to be exactly 15 degrees wide, centered on the meridian. That way clock time would be no worse than +/- 30 minutes different from local mean time. But, the boundaries get political/commerce oriented, and we have what we have.

Does anyone know why that Dim Rep Presley politician woman is bald and shaves and oils her fat head? If it's the "alopecia" excuse like that cray Jada Pickett Smith, then I have a bridge to sell you. She's already growing her hair out in little clumps that are blonde.
This concludes what I have to say.
I do wonder why my comments entertain any medical appts I have. People love me and they are much younger, the MD, the RN and the ARNP. Tell me it is an honor to meet me, etc.
I figure they get super weird and crazy Dims who come in. The university hospital, I have to say is good, but we see the strangest people on earth there. It's a little micro climate parade of weirdos, so it's no wonder I'm considered normal.
My husband tells me when we leave that I screwed up and cracked too many jokes. I get a critique of my show. I don't care much as if I am nervous the gallows humor shines.

Saw the beginnings of this in my town before making my Calexit last year. Trash collectors would check bins before emptying them and would place a notice explaining what you did to prevent them from taking it. There was talk that sink disposals would be outlawed, as you are now "encouraged" to include food scraps in your yard waste.

Anyway, the "8 ball" local reference frame, was *inertial*, showing axes relative to whatever inertial frame they were using (might have been the ECI frame, but could've been something else that they preferred for whatever reason). They would translate as needed, and the computers could do this, to "LVLH", local vertical local horizontal as needed.

Many black women have really bad hair. The kind of hair that is dry and brittle and if you wash it daily, it breaks and frizzes. This is why they don't wash daily, wear wigs, have weaves, etc.

It's a holdover from the time when the northern states held the political power in the country.
The further south you go, the less variance there is in the length of the day. So southern states, and their fine citizens, are less impacted than northern citizens who whine about how the time that everyone calls it must align with their personal preferences.

The controversial Minnesota Paid Leave program has already paid out nearly $600 million of benefits in its first six months of operation. Now, the highly-touted welfare program could end up consuming an even greater share of taxpayer dollars.
Minnesota Paid Leave was created in 2023 by DFL Gov. Tim Walz and Democrats in the state legislature. The program allows Minnesota residents to take up to 12 weeks of paid medical leave or 12 weeks of paid family leave in a single year.
If a person wants to take a combination of medical leave and family leave, they can receive paid leave benefits for up to 20 weeks. Paid leave recipients typically receive between 55% and 90% of their regular wages with a maximum weekly amount of $1,423.
The program is funded via a 0.88% payroll tax that is evenly split between employers and employees.

Correct and it is already hitting primary education. A lot of districts are going to have to consolidate because there won't be enough students to keep them viable.
Rural communities faced this before, but now urban ones are going to be hardest hit. My area seems to be immune because its a college town, so people buy houses here when young and sell when the kids move out. Major demographic turnover going on.
When we moved it, there was only one set of kids besides ours, and now they are all over the place. Happily, despite being a liberal area, the kids are roaming freely, riding bikes recklessly and having a generally unsupervised great time.

Yep, they are already closing schools in the DFW area for lack of students even while the area is expanding and more and more people are moving in. Granted some of that is because of school vouchers but most of it is due to plummeting birth rates and Trump's deportation policies.

Anchorage needs to close about 6 elementary schools, but they won't. The teachers needs those jobs, you understand, so even if there aren't enough kids to teach, the schools remain open.
Anchorage schools are the armpit of education. Not only are the less kids, the ones there are are headed for homeschooling or private schools. But that won't stop the teachers union from asking for more money, every year.
So glad I don't live in Los Anchorage any more.

Several FIFA World Cup tourists have reported being robbed in Canada, with prominent incidents occurring in downtown Vancouver. In one widely publicized incident, an Australian visitor had his baggage—containing his laptop and passport—stolen from the lobby at Onni's Level Hotel in downtown Vancouver, forcing him to get a temporary passport from his consulate.
The reason is rather simple. Vancouver's World Cup venue (BC Place) is about a 10 minute walk (or stumble) from Downtown Eastside. Downtown Eastside is famous for their encouraged drug use (one of those government, here's your free needle places). So, yeah, they are going to help celebrate the World Cup and rob a few of those people with money.

Terrorism Works: DHS Instructs ICE to Stop Conducting Traffic Stops After Illegal Alien Attempted to Ram His Car Into ICE Agents and Was Justifiably Shot and Killed
This is terrorism, and the Democrat Party supports it.
A Biddeford, Maine, resident is reportedly dead after he weaponized his car against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent(s), causing at least one to shoot in self-defense. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau (D-132nd District) released a statement on Monday, confirming the bare facts of the incident, but he and the press are jumping to the conclusion that the dead activist is the victim. The reality is that when a person attempts to run over an officer with his car, he is using the car as a deadly weapon, meriting a potentially deadly response. Furthermore, if that is what happened, the activist died a felon because it is explicitly against federal law to attempt to injure or interfere with ICE agents. ... The Post Millennial reported that an eyewitness described seeing a person "trying to hit the ICE officer" with a car, causing the officer to shoot. Since a car being used to run over someone is very certainly a deadly weapon, the facts in the case would seem to be fairly straightforward. There is no information as of yet on any details about the identity of the dead ICE-hater. ... As of the start of this year, attacks on ICE had gone up by 1,347%, while death threats against ICE had increased by an almost unimaginable 8,000%. Given the endless violence against ICE, it is actually remarkable that more federal officers and activists have not died. And here's something the mainstream media and main Democrats will not tell you: 18 U.S. Code 111 penalizes anyone who "forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section 1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties." In other words, the Biddeford wacko was not only doing something obviously dangerous when he or she tried to run over the ICE agents, but this action was also very clearly in violation of federal law.But the terrorism of the left is always indulged, because the terrorists are part of the same leftwing establishment that controls our institutions. ICE will stop making traffic stops except for the most heinous illegal alien criminals, at least as long as it takes to retrain them. Retrain them how? Are they supposed to allow themselves to be attacked by leftwing terrorists and illegal alien criminals?
Bill MeluginFirst scooped by @JennieSTaer
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per multiple federal sources to @FoxNews, ICE has been instructed to immediately cease most vehicle stops during immigration enforcement operations nationwide, except for operations targeting the most egregious criminal aliens. This comes after two people were killed by ICE in shootings in TX and ME in the last week in incidents that began as vehicle stops. DHS alleges one of those incidents was a ramming attempt. I'm told this will be temporary until ICE officers receive new training on vehicle stops. The policy change will have significant impacts as many of ICE's arrests begin as vehicle stops when they find and follow a target, as we've witnessed on multiple embeds. More to come as we get it.

In speaking with numerous ICE sources today, most are expressing frustration that this will cause their arrest numbers to fall off a cliff while in effect. A large majority of their arrests involve vehicle stops. They will now largely have to rely on court arrests, detainer transfers, USCIS interviews, or “consensual encounters”/roving patrols on foot to make arrests in bigger numbers.
ICE prefers to target people in their vehicles instead of their homes because homes require a judicial warrant to enter and vehicles are considered safer (someone can run into a home and grab a weapon etc) and targets can be followed to public areas where warrants aren’t required.
In all the ICE embeds I’ve done over the years, I would say 90% + of the targets were arrested in vehicle stops, though, they were egregious aliens (murderers, rapists etc), and those vehicle stops are still allowed to continue for now. This will have a bigger impact on targets in the U.S. illegally who have committed no other crimes.

Deportation flights are roughly twice the previous record set under Noem (which were themselves records higher than any previous administration).
The immigration side of the political debate has been quiet recently because Mullin reduced the size of visual presence in areas, while increasing the number of raids at the same time.

1. Demand ICE be abolished (not rebranded)
2. Pledge to pass a national police law for all federal LEOs that requires identity tapes (name, ID), prohibits masks that conceal identity, requires always-on body cameras and outlaws qualified immunity
Best the Dems can do is only slightly increase the budget.
ICE orders officers to stop vehicle pursuits nationwide amid Houston and Maine shootings. That must be some damning body camera footage to have this response.
This isn’t justice for anyone, it’s a distraction. ICE has a bad habit of killing and maiming anyone they come across, and people need to be held accountable
They should only be allowed to carry non lethal weapons, idc about THEIR safety, I care about the random people they murder cause they are afraid of unarmed civilians.
Let’s hope for November big change. If we can't vote our way out of being murdered, the alternatives are worse.
The Mirror (US): ICE bosses blast Trump for pushing DHS to 'breaking point' after fatal shootings. The unrealistic expectations set by the White House are pushing ICE agents to their "breaking point."

2. See 1.
3. If 1 & 2 are not followed, make sure you are wearing a body cam before aiming for a head shot.

Traffic stops are actually quite risky and potentially traumatic for the cop. He has no idea who is in the car. He has no idea what is in the car. Could be a little old lady on her way to church. Or it could be a gangbanger with a glock and 50 pounds of heroin.
And now almost everyone has tinted windows, so it's almost impossible to see in. Hell, I got tinted windows just so nobody can see me driving. But if I ever get pulled over, I will roll down the window so the cop can see me.

JUST NOW: After ICE halts most illegal immigration enforcement vehicle stops nationwide, Sen. SUSAN COLLINS (R-ME) reveals she's the one who asked DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin to do it — following a fatal shooting in Maine where the agent feared for public safety.
"I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops in the wake of yesterday’s deadly Biddeford shooting. I am encouraged that the Department has agreed to do so."

Law enforcement and the military do stuff like this frequently. There have been a couple high profile shootings, some questionable decisions may have been involved, so it's good to reiterate policy and procedures to protect the public AND protect the officers from lawsuits and possible prosecution. For example, in the Maine case, it's reported:
When ICE tried to stop a vehicle driven by someone coming from that address, the “vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon,” the department said.
That's not self defense, and shooting fleeing felons is a tricky legal call. My training would be telling ICE officers not to make statements on any shooting until they've consulted an attorney.

EXCLUSIVE: Democrat Texas candidate Bobby Pulido said molesting kids is “not necessarily rape,” after he brought a sex offender to a middle school, according to social media posts uncovered by the Daily Caller.
Pulido brought his longtime friend, convicted child sex offender Frankie Caballero, to perform at a benefit concert at a Texas middle school in 2016, according to an Axios report.
Unearthed posts on Twitter, now known as X, show Pulido explaining why he believed it was appropriate to bring Caballero to the benefit concert.
The posts were published in a series of tweets in August 2018, weeks after the event.
In one post, Pulido downplayed child molestation, writing, “Child molestation is abhorrent. But is not necessarily rape or murder, what you said. My point, and Geraldo’s point, is they have been unfairly demonized. It’s like if I said that whites shouldn’t be able to buy guns because most mass shooters are white.”

Arkansas famously slaps an extra felony on if you flee, and they have a law to make it free and easy for people to get dashcam footage from the state police.

I don’t fault DHS for the shootings which will be investigated and resolved, most likely in their favor. A vehicle traveling towards an officer is lethal force. Period. That goes doubly if it is a known evasion tactic of the targets. But you want that to be a rare occurrence, mostly because that improves force protection.

Olds' name announced a $21,500 pickup with crank windows, cloth upholstery, everything people say they want in a cheap truck. And gas engines, unlike the other company making cheap pickups. Extended cab is $25,000, and body-on-frame SUV is $28,000. All on the same chassis.

NOOO! They were just trying to get away from being kidnapped, not hit anyone. They didn't hit anyone, either, even though you can see Renee Good hit that officer, it didn't happen, and was his fault anyway. He shot her when he was next to the window, out of harm's way. They're all murderers and will be executed when we regain power!!!

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 14, 2026 04:42 PM
The CBO predicted that cash for clunkers would alter the used car market out for 15 years and that was in 2008. Others think it has disrupted the used car market permanently by taking a huge chunk of used car inventory and literally destroying it. It's probably somewhere in the middle and we should see some sanity returning to the used car market in about 2030 or so.

People driving cars can and do travel a fair distance on rims. You see it quite frequently in real life car chases when tire spike strips are used to blow out tires. Quite enough to run over a law enforcement agent at high enough speed to kill or seriously injure them.
And shooting through the front of a tire is trying to shoot through the toughest part, risks richochet by firing at a low angle to who knows where, and is not guaranteed to stop a vehicle.
A lot of crap about firearms comes from Hollywood's distortions or outright make believe falseness. That in and of itself is not so bad, but idiots trying to make policy on that basis makes everything worse.
Hollyweird makes everything worse when people believe their lies as truth.

A few years ago Denver PD tagged a stolen vehicle, then dropped off. Crim drove around for about fifteen minutes then entered into a warehouse district.
Creeped around for a few minutes which gave SWAT teams ample time to circle in. The crim then finished the drive into one of the bays in the warehouse.
Within seconds SWAT converged and busted a major chop shop.

Elliot Page is the Robert Reich of Ru Pauls.
Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at July 14, 2026 03:44 PM (zZu0s)
Elliot Page is an incredible actor. His portrayal of a pregnant girl in Juno was on point. It's robbery that he didn't get an award for such a huge stretch.
Ellen Page is a terrible actress. Her character 'Elliot' should really have Short Man Syndrome, with a chip on his shoulder the size of an aircraft carrier and anger management problems out the wazoo, from all the bullying he would've endured.
Elliot (née Ellen) Page is a damaged woman indulging a fetish, not even attempting a realistic portrayal of a male character. She's actually a decent actress, good enough to play pregnant without ever having been before; but acting isn't the point of what she's doing here, which is why she talks like a crazy woman instead of like a man.
I think the last one is true.

I'm going to call BS on the 500k miles. Probably one of the most consistently bullet proof engines is the AMC I6, later put in the Jeep XJs as the 4.0L It gets crappy gas mileage because they overbuilt the engine with 7 main bearings and other design gimmicks.
300k would be pretty common out of the engine if the body didn't rust away or otherwise get wrecked.
I don't know how they will pass CAFE and have a 500k drivetrain

The reason being that ICE will target less-dangerous illegals who are more safely apprehended in their vehicles or at destinations outside their homes.

The courts have been eroding the ability of law enforcement to do good work for decades now. Believe me, I’m no bootlicker. I have a lot of problems with the way some cop shops operate.
One thing I noticed, and I’m sure this was crucial, a good experienced Cop might not be able to definitely articulate “probable cause” other than “that fucker looks hinky”.
A sixth sense, developed out of years of experience. Let’s light this fucker up, and see what’s what. Oh, the SOB has some gal tied up in the trunk! Imagine that.
This is the kind of thing in extreme “no chase” policies engender. The crooks know they don’t have to comply with law enforcement. Because of fuckheads on the Court going back to Miranda.
Miranda said “That’s her!” when he was being paraded before her in a line-up. Rape. Real Einstein, that Miranda

A tire is a very small target and easy to miss, especially if the car is moving. A ricochet puts bystanders at risk. Even if you hit the tire, the vehicle is now less stable which can also put bystanders at risk. Yes, the driver is the responsible party, of course, but in terms of harm reduction to uninvolved parties this is a really bad idea, just as much as it's likely to be ineffective.

======
Making policy by edge cases is part of the Hollyweird problem on firearm policy (and other policies like mental health). Just because an edge case example does show something is technically possible not mean that it is very likely nor can be accomplished as Hollyweird shows it.
If I fire a 50 BMG at an auto tire, it is likely to shred it--but managing those would be a stone cold bitch for any ICE officer under field conditions. Same with penetrating an auto engine block.
The problem with most people today is they cannot apply probability theory worth a damn--overweighting rare examples and undervaluing more common risks.
And even there, it is a problem for people to be able to properly weight responses due to sunk costs, socially acceptable answers, and match the magnitude of a loss versus the probability of likelihood and the costs to mitigate it.
We live in a probabilistic world and yet people act as though life is an on/off switch.

Very good post, Whig, but in fairness to polynikes, he was talking about a rare movie (Quigley Down Under) that probably doesn't deserve our ire. This is not just because it stars Tom Sellak, but the movie actually understands firearms and goes to go great lengths to show that Quigley is a very rare marksman. It isn't the same as Hollyweird cop flicks made by and starring gun-grabbers where guns are used with cavalier disregard for surroundings and abnormal results are achieved as a matter of course.

Next week, he'll also have been a church choir singing Dreamer/SPCA aid, volunteer kitchen worker & occasional crossing guard.
Why was he driving in circles with ICE officers around his vehicle? Why not just stop the vehicle, pull the keys out, put hands on the steering wheel? It makes no sense unless he was trying to be an obstruction or threatening.
How about the left's martyr training classes get examined, too, because they do receive such regarding confronting ICE/government officials.

Admittedly, I've been retired for almost 18 years, but during the time I was a police officer, the old way of classifying traffic stops as Low Risk or High Risk was changed. The new classifications became Unknown Risk or High Risk. Calling the majority of traffic stops Unknown Risk cultivates a different mind-set.
It sounds like ICE is doing something similar.

"Elliot" Page, Who Plays a Great Greek Warrior in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey: Gender Is Just a "Quaint Myth"
If you see this movie, you love Elliot Page.
She's a transgender Rachel Zegler. She's taking down a movie because she just can't shut her enormous mouth.It turns out the 5'1" woman is not playing mighty Achilles, but another great warrior, "Sinon," I think they said, who was called "the greatest soldier" in the Greek army. Chris Gore and Alan Ng saw the movie. They split in their reviews: Gore says it's disappointing and boring but "not a disaster," while Ng says it is a disaster, and so boring it's hard to get through. They do say that the Stunt Casting isn't too much of a factor because those are small roles with little screen time. I mean, yes, we knew that Helen of Troy would just be in the beginning, but still this absurd casting stops any audience member from enjoying what should be the point of making a historical, or mythic, epic: feeling that this is something like what it must have really looked like.
Transgender actor and The Odyssey star Elliot Page came out against traditional gender roles, calling the male-female dynamic a "quaint myth" and insisting that if animals can engage in "queer" sex, why shouldn't humans. Appearing on the extremist, left-wing Democracy Now podcast, Page attacked the "cis hetero patriarchal structure" and claimed that the traditional way we view gender is scientifically inaccurate. ... On the podcast, Page, who narrates the film, insisted that the normal gender ideas that mankind have supported for all of recorded history are "absurd." "In terms of looking at nature as if it's some sort of cis hetero patriarchal structure is absurd, and that this, you know, gender binary that we've created is nothing but a quaint little myth," Page said. The actor added that Second Nature, the documentary he is flogging on the podcast, "really shows what we have been taught in school in regards to these structures -- men being superior, women being inferior. You know, submissive or what have you -- it being this heterosexual existence is just completely false." Page goes on to assert that the idea that queer is normal and traditional gender roles are "false" has been "suppressed" from general knowledge.
...
The five foot one, 106-pound actor recently sparked controversy by being cast as a Greek Warrior in director Christopher Nolan's epic remake of The Odyssey. Detractors thought it was absurd to cast a tiny trans actor as a powerful warrior in the epic tale.
Ng checked out early. "I was bored out of my mind," he says, adding he was gone "pretty much from the beginning." The sound didn't help. He says he couldn't make out the dialogue at first, and once he could, he realized "how bad the dialogue is." His verdict: "This is the most pretentious movie I've seen all year." And the kicker: "I can't wait to not see this movie again." When the two wrapped up, the one-word summary of Ng's reaction was simply "disaster." Gore: 'Not A Disaster,' But Mixed Gore lands softer, though it's no rave. The modern-sounding accents "diminished the film" for him and made Nolan's period epic play more like Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo, "a modern epic," in his words. He also says parts drag, especially in the first half. The highlights, per Gore: the Cyclops material, the fall of Troy, and Samantha Morton as the witch Circe, the same performance Nolan has been comparing to Heath Ledger's Joker. He also calls the way the soldiers transform "very clever," while declining to spoil how.I think Circe turns his men into pigs.
"I'm still marinating on it," Gore says. "It's not a disaster." His final word is "mixed," and unlike Ng, he's going back for a second viewing.That's a quote you want on your movie poster -- "It's not a disaster."
Here's a digest of some reviews, echoing most of what Gore and Ng said -- the film is very slow in its first half, and of course it's three hours long, and no one seems to be in character. As Gore said, it's just Matt Damon and Tom Holland reading lines. You never feel like you're watching people who aren't celebrity actors.
abe Hernandez | Urban Fantasy AuthorThe movie comes out on Thursday. I already have my tickets to not see it reserved. If you haven't gotten your tickets to not see it yet, you better act quick, they're running out. Not seeing The Odyssey is going to be the cultural event of the year. Meanwhile, the remake of Little House on the Prairie is just as woke as everyone feared it would be.
@MrGabeHernandez Early, TRUSTED reactions of The Odyssey are confirming what I feared would happen. The Odyssey is a pretentious slog to get through.
The specific critiques are fairly consistent. Casting controversy: Ellen Page and Lupito Nyong'o appear in glorified cameos. For all the controversy their casting generated, they had no meaningful presence in the film, which gives weight to the theory that they were brought on as stunt casting and Oscar bait. Music/Sound: A consistent Nolan criticism across several of his films is the bad sound mixing. That problem persists here. Further, the Travis Scott "rap" at the end is described as "painfully cringey." Main Actors: Aside from the one or two standouts, such as Samantha Morton as Circe, none of the actors embody or immerse themselves in their roles. The ensemble presents as actors simply reading through the script. Visuals: The historical foibles regarding armor, weapons, and ships have been dissected to death, but the bigger problem is the overall aesthetic that's grey and dark. It's as if Nolan shot the film in a frequently overcast corner of Northern Europe instead of any locale that resembles the Mediterranean regions. Pacing: The film doesn't "get going" until at least 30 minutes in. A 3-hour film is a lot to ask of an audience, so if the opening hook is sedate, you've got a problem on your hands. Dialogue: The modern language frequently takes viewers out of the story, particularly with all the actors speaking in their respective native accents. There's no sense of period or commonality around a culture and its people. Will The Odyssey be a commercial hit or bomb? Too soon to tell, but it does appear clear that the controversies were self-inflicted, that this "interpretation" of Homer's Odyssey was meant to appeal to a very small set of cinephile elitists and Hollywood backscratchers, and that Christopher Nolan forgot the one thing that a director should never forget... A film's first and primary job is to entertain.

@fandompulse Little House on the Prairie showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine on why she rebuilt the frontier classic around a new lens: "I think a lot of our pop culture portrays the West as men riding around with guns and solving problems with violence and posturing, but that is just not how it was settled... We really are trying to do a show that does not fall back on tropes of sort of masculinity." Is a story about settling the American frontier supposed to avoid masculinity?

There's no other way for me to put this: Netflix did indeed woke-ify Little House on the Prairie. This new version makes a deep bow to contemporary concerns about the politics of the source material. Some of the Ingalls family's closest new friends on the show are an Osage couple, a black doctor and black storekeeper, and a French Canadian woman who wears trousers and practices free love."--Rebecca Onion, Slate

Achilles: The Ultimate Warrior
Role: The greatest warrior of the Greek army and the central hero of Homer’s Iliad.
Abilities: Nearly invulnerable due to being dipped in the River Styx by his mother, with his heel being his only weak spot.
Key Feats: Slew the Trojan champion Hector and won countless battles before being killed by Paris with a poisoned arrow to his heel.
Sinon: The Ultimate Deceiver
Role: A cunning Greek spy who was cousin and trusted companion to Odysseus.
Abilities: A master of manipulation and persuasion.
Key Feats: He allowed himself to be captured by the Trojans and spun an elaborate lie that convinced them to bring the Trojan Horse inside their city walls, ultimately sealing Troy's fate. Sinon does not appear in Homer’s Odyssey but plays a prominent role in Virgil’s Aeneid

Seriously.
None of the major parties are running candidate against Farage, because they know they'd lose. So the only opponent left is Count Binface.
As crazy as that might seem, it's not even the craziest part. Are you ready for this?
The Left actually expect Count Binface to win!
Although he is a joke candidate, he is suddenly receiving massive donations and thousands of volunteers flooding into Clacton to help him campaign against Farage. Because the entire left and the entire fake-conservative Establishment are lining up behind Count Binface in an attempt to humiliate Farage by having him lose to a joke candidate.
Of all the crazy elections in 2026, this mkay well be the craziest.

What can't go on forever won't. The question is just how much money are the corporate heads willing to lose in this quixotic ideological pursuit.
Posted by: alanon at July 14, 2026 03:15 PM (jHMkm)
That probably sped it up, but these days even white male writers in Hollywood are self emasculated to the point that hiring 100 percent white dudes would not fix the problem.
And the answer is the corporate heads are willing to lose money forever. We already know that, even when they luck into a movie someone likes they make sure they don't do it again - Joker vs Joker 2, etc.

What if they didn’t have to lose any money?
What if … an extensive laundering operation was used, mostly with phony baloney confetti-bucks?
I can’t prove this per se, but I know that’s what’s been happening. The Narrative is Everything, but nobody will pay for it voluntarily. Not with their own money anyhow.

_____________________________
Just watching the trailer had me questioning why all the actors (inclusive of the Brits) were using "American" accents. The usual formula is for British accents...although Damon's disaster Scotish accent in "The Great Wall" might have put the nail in that coffin.
Additionally, the modern language is a joke. In the trailer Holland is speaking to Pattinson and says, "My dad will return soon." Ummmmm...this is a Greek fundamental story. Sure, they used endearment terms in that time....BUT "dad" in Greek is "pappas" which is the origin of the term "Papa." That is very distracting to even someone like me who could give a shit about the movie. But, such an oversight is unforgivable when hundreds of millions are involved.

I can't believe they still blabber this nonsense. Their "Animals are gay too" falsehood was debunked a jillion times already, but reality and facts are irelevant to them.
It has been proven that the 0.0001% of animal species that occasoinally "engage" in "homosexual mating" only do so in response to extreme environmental distress, generally "all the females in the local populatin dying out" or something similar. Obviously the "trait"m of homosexuality can be passed down genetically, so it never evolved in animals. Duh. And their other argument, that some male animals perform child-rearing roles that in our worldview are "feminine"-seeming -- that too is just anthro-centric bias, not anytihg to do with maleness or femaleness. If a seahrse male protects the newborn seahorses by hiding them in his mouth when predators swim by, doe that make him gay? Or "feminine"? No. That's jut what ,ale seahorses do. Etc.
The lEft lies and lies and lies and lies and lies, and never stop lying, and debunking their lies doesn't stop them from lying. Their existence in nothing but lying.

And if she has a problem with men attacking Native Americans, there’s always Hannah Dustin, who took care of business when she needed to, and she was still in New England.

A lot of angry idiots and a decently good movie
It's looking like it's gonna be great. Critic reception has been great, and non critics who have gotten to see it early seem to like it as well. Considering its Nolan I was always gonna give it a shot, but I'm quite excited now.
It'll be pretty good and a lot of people will write their reviews before having seen it because they've already decided that they are going to hate it or love it.
A decent enough movie to be rated a 6-9. Good performances and cool scenes. In spite of what it achieves, there's going to be automatic haters and they'll be loud about it.
The cast is loaded, Nolan is a good director, the Odyssey itself is pretty cool. There's fake controversy from content creators despite nitpicking details from stills and trailers that may not be true in the finished movie; they've never seen the movie but they already despise it.
Richard Roeper calls The Odyssey one of the best films of the decade and one of the most memorable since watching movies as a critic in the 80s

There's a good YouTube video out there that breaks down the opening bank robbery scene, explaining just why it would never, ever actually work in real life. Far too dependent on contrived coincidences.

She's clearly not pure black. Her striking blue eyes are her best feature, IMHO.
Vanessa Williams is not half white. Both of her parents identify as monoracial Black.
However, her DNA is highly admixed. A DNA test she took revealed her genetic makeup to be roughly 53% Sub-Saharan African, 34% European (including British Isles, Finnish, Portuguese, and Southern European), and 13% Indigenous American. She also has a documented history of mixed-race ancestry on her family tree, including an interracial marriage from the 1870 census

Some of them allegedly have trouble telling the difference sometimes, deep in the throes of the mating season, especially in species with low sexual dimorphism like swans.
But making it out to be a routine thing instead of a rare accident is just the left wishcasting.

There was an artist years ago; maybe a painter or sculptor, supposedly he said he could sh*t in a can and sell it as art and people would spend ridiculous amounts of money to buy it.
I think this movie is Nolan's sh*t in a can; see how many people he can get to see, spend money on and defend this garbage. I hope if fails and I hope men get blamed again for it's failure because all many of us are doing is just refusing to spend money on this twaddle.

The pursuit of awards was always the ends unto itself. There was a period of a few decades where they coincidentally lined up.
It was when the studios were using the awards to pat themselves on the back for making money.
That changed in the late 60s and early 70s when the studio system finally collapsed. The point of the big awards became disassociated from box office over time.
Hollywood was never, ever going to nominate Ghostbusters for Best Picture in 1985, and it was the #1 movie of the year at the box office.
And that was 40 years ago.

Uncle Buck suffers from a specific problem, I think. It's the same problem that John Ford's 3 Godfathers suffers from.
The main character is supposed to be at least something of a bad guy in the beginning who learns to be a good guy, but they start the film as good, affable, likeable guys so there's no where for the character to actually go.
William Wyler made a version of the 3 Godfathers story in the very early sound era called Hell's Heroes. The three start the film arguing about which one is going to rape the dying woman with the baby. They grow and become better people by the end.

Trust me. It wasn't that "there were too many good movies" that Ghostbusters wasn't nominated.
In 1928? Ghostbusters would have been nominated. It might not have won, but it would have been nominated. Through the first decade, all of the winners were top three at the box office.
By the 80s, there was a very clear break where box office winners had to be the "right" kind of movie to be considered, much less win.
The awards have been gatekeeping since the inception, it's just that the early gatekeepers valued success in commerce more than messages because they had Western Union to send messages.

We could argue about the percentages, but I think it differs from animal to animal. You can usually tell by the dimorphism of what comes next.
For instance, most cats are difficult to tell if they are male or female excepting of course the lion. If you've had a female cat in heat then you know she is consenting to just about any tomcat who can get in reach.
Among primates, orangutans are ridiculously different. I recall reading that orangutan mating tends to be Platner-tier forceful as a rule.

I agree. I liked Uncle Buck a lot. Summer rental also another John Candy movie. I think the point with him is he is kind of any everyman slub. Mired in his own existence, struggling against life, just like the rest of us maybe a little to self concerned, and in the end, unlike most of us, he wins through. Its not a complicated character arc. He's us, except it turns out okay in the end for him. That's the payoff. That's a legitimate leading role. He was good at it. But I'm not a movie critic.

I just checked... it looks like her sperm and egg donors (I won't call them "parents") started pimping her out to show biz at the age of 10. After a hundred years of movies (and I'm thinking live theatre wasn't/isn't immune to this), I think we can safely say that any "parent" who puts a kid in show biz knows EXACTLY what's going to happen to that kid. They just don't give a shit, as long as the checks clear.

Okay, so we have a birdhouse that has been hanging in the same spot every spring for years. The birds fight over it. There are usually multiple sets of birds born in it every year from spring through summer months.
Every time its the same thing. Once the first round of eggs hatches and the fledglings are off, a female bird lands on top of the bird house. She sticks her butt up and tail feathers out of the way until a male hops on her. She wears him out. At this point I typically yell at that them to get a room. We are going on our third round of eggs this year. Its like we are hosting a redlight district flop house on our back porch.

This would actually be a decent, though not conclusive, test as to whether a woman "is a man inside".
Put 'em in an environment where Kelly's Heroes comes at random points in the movie.
If the "trans man" stops to watch it, that's positive evidence, though it should be confirmed with The Three Stooges, Ultimate Fighting Championship, tractor pull competitions, etc.

He is extremely woke and has made anti-American movies like the Green Zone. He peaked in the Bourne series. Ever since then, on screen he looks like a bad actor trying to portray a good actor. He's the very definition of wooden.
Every movie he's the lead in would've been better had someone else been cast. Take 'The Martian' for instance. It's one of his better and more successful movies. Now imagine Billy Bob Thornton as The Martian... It's a better movie, right?
You can't imagine anyone but Russell Crowe as The Gladiator but you can imagine other people doing Matt Damon roles better than Matt Damon.
That's a sure sign of a crappy actor. The other issues just make me happier to not go... And I'd already pretty happy to not go.

But, Democrats won't back off from it.
The Italian Democrat Party is the model. They've gotten steadily less important since the late 2000s as they've embraced open borders to the point where they can't get anything done in the Italian parliament. Nothing will reverse their descent, it seems.
Once you go open borders, nothing will convince you to reverse, it seems.

On crime, they'd allow requiring bail (for felonies) and prison (for multiple violent crimes) - and these would, in no way, be affected by plea bargains.
On trannies, they'd take the most leftward position of the middle possible.

I strongly suspect that the Democrat brand is broken for a while. Just...broken.
Biden's open borders killed it. The rest are side shows (the embrace of transgenderism didn't help at all), but the core of it was the open borders. Everything about life in America got worse, and everyone could point to immigration as a proximate cause most of the time (people won't make the connection between immigration and inflation, but it's also a major contributing factor there, too, especially since so much government money went to support the new, replacement population).
Texas border counties went from hard blue to light red. The Hispanic move against Democrats was solidified by a few elections in a row where people were voting Republican, creating a lifelong pattern.
And, the face of the party has gotten...awful. Biden glitching out at the debate. Kamala cackling. The women and minorities who screech all the time. The terrorism sympathizers.
It's bad for them now.

Transgender activists have taken the maximalist position that if they don't get everything they demand, they're victims of genocide.
The left is really good at silencing their crazies when they want to. Just look at how they basically made climate change a non-issue as soon as they decided they like AI and that needs data centers and electricity. But I don't know that they can silence the transgender activists.

Trump has forcibly deported about 1.2 million people since he took office, and the pace is increasing.
3-4 million more have left (self-deportations to forced is usually a ratio of something like 3:1 to 6:1, so trend towards the low end for safety).
That's over 4 million left in just over Trump's first year, most of which was with reduced ICE funding compared to post OBBB funding. It's going to get faster, especially with new Treasury regulations that tell banks to treat illegals as financial risks, denying them accounts and loans, cutting off illegals (and even some classes of legals) from the American financial system.
Democrats can't stop this if they gain Congress.
Lots of people are leaving. It was so bad last year that America lost population for the first time in decades on net.

If they REALLY wanted these illegal aliens in the US, they would have introduced legislation to raise the immigration quotas when they had control of Congress, which would be the first step in truly legitimizing them. They prefer these aliens to be illegal, because they can control them.

The environment is all different now.
They don't have someone in power now like Clinton was then to force a party-wide shift.
Their media ecosystem is much more overtly leftist and actively shouts down those who betray the narrative, as opposed to the 90s when they were mostly just ignored.
The funders of the party are insane leftists and won't give real money to actual moderates (even Biden had to shit all over his "moderate" record as a Senator in 2020 during his primary run).
The party can't moderate without a black swan event. And that's not going to be Wes Moore.

But they prefer to call American citizens the invaders, who "stole" everything they now call their own. But most of what the white man got they either settled, or they purchased it from Indians, for pretty Western things, and metal objects like guns and farm tools.
Massasoit said the Indians' problems would not come from the white man, but from other Indian tribes. The white man simply had the superior culture, and Squanto and others said they would rather live in white man world, because it was far superior. Most of those noble savages were more savage than noble.

- Immigration -- OK, so they just want to make them all legal. Introduce many more "pathways". More TPS, ("T"PS) more H1b, more more more.
- Crime -- death penalty for child support? A little rough, but I support it. Death penalty "if voters want it." Huh, that sounds like what we have, and democracy. Most of this is blah blah blah and just relies on more power to state and more discretion. What about gun laws? What about "defund the police"?
- Trans - well he is playing semantics here. "OK, you guys can keep the meaning of "biological sex" but we still keep "gender" to mean fuck all, and we keep doing exactly what we want except women's sports. (where the sane people are already winning.)

-- 1. There is not, nor should there be, a "national dress code." Everyone should be free to wear whatever clothes they want. And fashion constantly change. A century ago ,it would be nearly unthinkable for a woman to wear pants -- now it is the default clothing for women. So if a dude wants to wear a dress -- hey, not my bailiwick. go for it.
-- 2. It is actually very useful that crazy people self-identify by dressing up as the opposite sex. Saves me the effort of trying to fifgure out who is crazy or not. So if a crazy dude wants to wear a dress -- excellent, now I know he is crazy, and know to avoid him/not-hire him/shun him/laiu8gh at him.
And if he goes into the women's bathroom or locker room-- arrest him.

I still maintain that a Democrat who advocated for "closed borders, all the welfare, only welfare for Americans," would actually do really well with the middle part of America.
The problem in developing someone like that is that the Democrat system is designed to suppress anyone like that, and the money that would fund sudden black horse candidates like that wouldn't fund such a candidate, and if one did decided to, they wouldn't be able to overpower the anti-side of it within the Democrat media ecosystem.
They'd get shouted down and ignored faster than their message could spread, plus the creation of personal controversies that make the person untouchable.

I think I need to amplify this.
Fascism is not what the Dems pretend it is. It is a nihilistic doctrine that the only thing that could stop a State is the State itself. There is nothing but the state where the state decides to act.
But to Dems "fascism" is that government that has been invalidated and we all agree is not allowed. Thus, the only value they have for "fascism" is not the meaning itself, but government that is not how they would choose to run things. If you want to run things with the "frozen force" of government in a way that they do not want to comply with, that's the government That Should Not Be, and thus, "fascism".
That's the only use they have for "fascism", is a government (force) that does not act as they would have it.
Particularly, a government that is an expression of an expectation of restraint. Now, restraint --that's real "fascism"!

Maybe he doesn't have enough space, but I don't see him arguing why illegal immigration is bad for the country. He only argues that Dems favoring it is bad for them.

1. Sexual arousal is "good".
2. Is a man gets sexual arousal from feeling like a woman, why do you want to police that?
3. Our society should be more gender-bending, because gender isn't really real.
And anything that works for #3 is "progress".
Thus, women's feelings of being "creeped on" take second place.

Now, I'm completely at home with that criticism.
And it does seem to mainly be about salvaging the party (so they can win the Senate and create states and stack the Senate and appoint more left-wing judges so that the SCOTUS fully becomes the super legislature that the founders argued invalidates the branch entirely. )

To make matters worse, an ex-DSA activist has said the worst mistake the DNC made was to refuse funding to the hard left socialists. Because the socialists went out and found their own billionaires, started their own networks, learned how to campaign.
And they have recruited very attractive -- physically attractive, with exotic names and appearances -- candidates. The face of their party is Nithya, Melat, Abdul, Zohran. Yeah, morons will say their ideology makes them ugly, but they're smooth, they articulate they bullshit in an articulate way, they're young, they're objectively attractive.

Well, to a degree it worked.
The ads were for 2024, and the GOP won that year.
The specific ads using Dem quotes didn't work, but the overall effort to paint Democrats as not being supportive of Americans did.
I suspect there will be more ads using more footage of Democrats that will help the GOP in 2026.

A Working-Class Party Without Many Workers. In 2021 the DSA was 85 percent non-Hispanic white (national average 58%); 9 percent were Hispanic, 5 percent Asian American and 4 percent Black.
Liberal stands on immigration, transgender rights, abolishing ICE and defunding the police are supported largely by a well-educated elite of white people holding professional jobs. They are not the policies sought by the construction workers riding the subway to get to their job sites by 7 a.m.
income and education patterns emerged in the Seventh District, where the DSA candidate (Valdez) crushed Antonio Reynoso, the Brooklyn borough president, 56.1 to 35.8. Valdez won 62 to 28 in the district’s high-income neighborhoods and 64 to 27 in its high-education areas, while Reynoso carried the low-income sections 63 to 31.
What’s notable but not written about is that nearly all of the D.S.A.’s serious primary campaigns are aimed at members of the House Progressive Caucus, not the more moderate House New Democrats. Support for Medicare for All, Green New Deal, Abolish ICE is no protection.

The illegals who want a green card should self deport and make request for temporary visa and green card with a waiting period of at least a year after they deport.

Because the entire left and the entire fake-conservative Establishment are lining up behind Count Binface in an attempt to humiliate Farage by having him lose to a joke candidate.
If all the crazy elections in 2026, this mkay well be the craziest.

This isn't true. They're out and proud about it.
The GOP was using public statements by Democrats to define Democrats in attack ads.
But it didn't work.
Because people didn't believe that Democrats would be that crazy. And the GOP was using their words, verbatim.

There’s a very dark side to this story. If Binface wins, then it means that a majority of the electorate agrees that the British government has become a bad joke, and it’s too late to even bother trying to fix it.
If Farage loses, then I’ll have to say they’re correct.

@TVNewsNow 🚨 NEW: Fox News panel CALLS OUT MS NOW host for saying she refused to air White House press briefings during Trump's first term because the 'lying hurt me' Trace Gallagher: "Can you imagine if Fox stopped carrying the Biden press conferences? They would be freaking out!" "This is exactly why we see distrust of the media - 70% of Americans no longer trust the media," adds Fox panelist. "It's so ridiculous that we have a 'news anchor' saying it hurts her feelings to cover the news, the facts coming out of the WH. The job of the media is to cover the facts: The American people can decide for themselves what they want to do with those facts." "We are not Russia, Iran or China to censor information. We are here as public servants to share information."

See, this is a thing about pronouns. If you think a close reading is too pedantic, I don't want you doing math on my project.
"Told their husbands" would be anonymous, and a group.
"Tole their husband" means -- and can mean nothing other than -- that several women share a husband. It's a number problem.
If her thinking on background is that sloppy, I sure don't trust her on the actual substance of the argument. It's a form of babble that reveals a confused mind. If you can't engineer a precise sentence, you've got no business making laws.

The number of Republicans who are willing to publicly vote against Trump is small and getting smaller with every Congress.
There are going to be a dozen GOP senators who don't want to vote for legislation but will do it anyway because they fear being put on blast.
Mitch, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn were already on blast and took the hit. Without their human shield people like Curtis (UT) probably won't decide to make examples of themselves.

Hearing this made-up "oh poor put upon me" bullshit triggers my throat-punching reflex. Emotional labor is having to keep an even keel while listening to their vapid whiny nagging asses parroting TikTok trends. THAT'S emotional labor right there. And the strained elbow and shoulder tendons keeping oneself from going upside their heads.

“It could be really cool if Congress was filled with goth people,” Kelley Dennison, the 27-year-old Republican nominee for Colorado’s 2nd congressional district, told the Daily Caller.
The Gen Z massage therapist is campaigning on an unexpected aesthetic, selling merchandise that tout her as “America’s Goth Baddie.”
She will face a tough battle in November against incumbent Representative Joe Neguse, who has held the seat since 2019 and ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. But she hopes her unorthodox approach will inspire fellow zoomers to run for office and spark conversation about what it means to look like a young conservative.

It's the absolute certainty of fraudulent voting/vote counting that I see in every election going back to Kennedy's win over Nixon due to the Chicago cemetery vote that makes me very, very angry.

Do you care about the 2026 elections? How about 2028?
Sure, most Americans don't care about election security, only about what affects them right now, without understanding that election security affects them right now.

They did a giant slush fund (the Inflation Reduction Act) and no policy wins at all on things like guns, immigration (Biden just didn't enforce laws), healthcare, or anything.
They didn't nuke the filibuster and let Kamala just be the tie-breaking vote after breaking Manchin's legs to get pure socialism passed.
Good points, and yet it doesn't actually address the main problem. The retards in the GOP leadership not exercising their power over the party members who won't fall in line.

Now here is where Mitch and Miss Lindsey and all the way back to Reagan and certainly Clinton lied.
The GOP hates high labor prices. Now, the DNC hates high labor for drywall. Shingles. Concrete.
There is no party for anyone that works not from an office. None.

You don't know how many of those 53 Pubs are "for" the Save Act because it's not likely to pass a cloture vote.

If what Trump is claiming is true, and I don't have reason to believe he's lying, we are well beyond the Save Act. As many of us have been saying for years our elections are rigged and it was done with help of our own government. This is Flaming Clown Boner dipped in pudding material.

Posted by: Iris at July 14, 2026 02:08 PM (286+n)
It's pretty simple. Any elected official who won't vote for the Save Act benefits by not having the Save Act. There is no other logical explanation.

Because there's nothing anyone can use against Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, Ernst, or Cornyn because they're leaving the Senate, and Murkowski is just a Democrat?
Maybe it's just that there are enough Republicans in the Senate who prefer fucking over Trump than anything else? And that no alternate leader could make them do anything outside of shedding our system completely and turning the nation into a dictatorship?

That's what I want to see from the droppings. "The evidence is fake." That means there's evidence, and while redditors can get as hysterical as they want, it might be more difficult to get their elected bimbos and himbos to say the same thing.

Yea, I think most Americans want to know if our elections are corrupt. Kind of the bedrock of this entire country.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 14, 2026 02:04
I think we are so balkanized that it won’t matter what is proven. The left will not accept it, believe it or change their minds. We can only hope it gets minimized so that elections actually reflect what is being voted for going forward.

Counting ballots that don't exist is illegal. No one enforces the law.
I suspect the solution is enforcing the law.
Good thing Trump's DOJ is interested in enforcing the law.

Not entirely true. This is why Nancy had to pronounce that PPACA was "deemed as passed". She no longer had the votes to pass it on the floor.

For starters, get rid of electronic voting machines. They aren't needed. France holds national elections in one day on paper ballots and has results that same day. Lots of countries do.
We've been gaslit for years into believing voting is some mind boggling experiment only in the US. I person, 1 ballot, 1 day.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 14, 2026 02:11 PM (viF8m)
Ok, but they're still there RIGHT NOW. Right. Man, it would suck to have all the little perks they enjoy just go up in smoke. Man, it would sure suck to have their office moved to sub-basement M with a sign on the door that says, "beware of the leopard".
Or, man, it would sure suck if their calendars suddenly stopped working and they started missing invitations to things.
Even if they are leaving *punish* them in any ways that you can.
That is, if you want it passed, and I think we all know that Thune doesn't want it passed.

I went to Denmark some time after that SNL skit. Danish / Euro trash media reported it as something Palin said.
They all believed it and were SHOCKED with I advised them it was Tina Fey from SNL.

A lying, lefty, Harvard asshole, BIRM, tried to pull that same crap on me and I called him a fucking liar right to his face. I told him that was Tina Fey on SNL. You should have seen him backtracking. For some damn reason, the old man I was working for at the time seemed to like the guy. I despised him almost from the first time I met him.
You have to admit it, Tina Fey did an outstanding job impersonating SP; looked just like her and mimicked her persona beautifully. Too bad TF is a left wing moon bat, she's talented.
