Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Thursday Overnight Open Thread - June 25, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Julie Smith Legend 87-year-old makes hole-in-one, takes legendary photo ![]() Congrats to an 87-year-old man named Lee McFarland for making a hole-in-one—but also for taking one of the best hole-in-one photos ever. McFarland made his ace at Chippewa Golf Club just outside Toledo earlier this week by knocking in a driver from 135 yards out. And did he celebrate his impressive accomplishment? Your damn right he did. A beer AND a cigarette in hand by the time you pluck your golf ball out of the hole is amazing stuff. That guy was ready to rock. And apparently, he kept up the good play as well. As you can see, Lee also shot his age. ----- 45 years ago
![]() I'm sure as writers we all feel the pressure of The Big Scenes—and we know when we're coming to them. Usually, they approach like a landmark in the writing process, if you visualize writing a script like traveling the Oregon Trail. You have to reach them and make sure they count. These scenes are usually huge, pivotal character moments or the big confrontations. Sometimes they are dialogue-heavy, which I find is the bigger challenge than writing straight action. What are characters communicating in the silence between words? What are the minuscule differences between their potential word choices? How can you make sure it's both emotional and realistic? That's why I love looking at scenes like this one from the end of Tombstone, in which Doc Holliday delivers one of the film's biggest gut-punches of dialogue: "There's no normal life, Wyatt. There's just life." Now for the not so good article. Some AWFL writer from ScreenRant takes umbrage with Tombstone when viewed through modern day woke lenses. 8 Reasons It's Hard To Watch Tombstone Today Whether it’s Val Kilmer’s legendary delivery of "I’m your huckleberry" or the sheer, kinetic energy of its iconic shootout, Tombstone feels like an immovable object in our collective pop culture consciousness. Who among us doesn't have a soft spot for this movie? It is a quintessential crowd-pleaser that demands to be watched on a loop, forever cemented as a high-water mark for the genre. However, the nature of the movie—and the culture that consumes it—is inherently fluid. As the years have marched on, rewatching Tombstone through a contemporary lens reveals that even the most beloved classics are not immune to the passage of time. Looking back at the movie in 2026, it becomes clear that its status as a perfect western is complicated by evolving standards in storytelling, character depth, and the ways in which historical narratives are presented on screen. This is not a condemnation of what Tombstone achieves, but rather an exploration of why certain elements that once felt like standard genre conventions now land with a bit of friction. By examining these aspects, we aren't trying to tear down a legend, but rather engaging with the reality of how our perspective shifts three decades later. Let’s look at the elements of this legendary film that make it a bit tougher to process through modern eyes.You really need to read this whole thing for yourself. It's a hoot. Female Characters Suffer From Lack Of Agency Outdated Tough Guy Tropes Feel Cartoonish Today Historical Accuracy Takes A Backseat To MythThose are just a few of the AWFL problems with Tombstone. Go read the article for the rest. And be sure to check out the comments - some of them could have been written by Hordelings! ----- This guy needs to bring that beauty of a weapon to the ranch in October!

Congrats to Lee McFarland on a Hole In One!
He is 87 years old and carded an 87 today! Red Tees - 135 Yards - Driver. That reminded me of a joke..... It was a sunny Saturday morning on the course, and I was beginning my pre-shot routine on #1, visualizing my upcoming shot, when a voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker. "Would the gentleman on the Ladies Tee back up to the Men's Tee, please!!" I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement: "Would the MAN on the WOMEN'S Tee kindly back up to the Men's Tee." I finally stopped, turned, looked through the clubhouse window directly at the person with the mike and shouted back, "Would the person in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot?!"

Reasons It's Hard To Watch Tombstone Today
Yeah, yeah, we today is so much moar enlightened. Just watched astrophysicist Dr Becky's latest video https://youtu.be/eQRUcAzktXU and in presenting the crew of the next Artemis mission, she praises the increased presence of non-whites but laments that there's no gals on this one, which she proves with geometric logic must be intentional. Cringeworthy sexism and racism. Somehow that statistically aberrant five-gal crew was not a problem for her. Posted by: mindful webworker - ism ism ism at June 25, 2026 10:11 PM (1BE2o) 42

Did you all see where some young reporter was asking Fetterman what he thought about how Larry David said that the UFC event at the White House was disgusting? (Yes everything about this story is ludicrous.)

Basic is designed to chew up smart asses like Bill Murray's character and spit them out, then either mold what's left into soldiers, or get rid of them. Also, the Sgt Hulka character was too old and too nice to be a DI. Posted by: a.moron at June 25, 2026 10:14 PM (X5Jzz) 52

I missed Hope Sandoval's 60th birthday yesterday, so here's a delightful five minutes of dream pop from when she was younger:
Mazzy Star - Flowers in December [4K Remaster] - 2 Meter Sessions (1996) https://youtu.be/tN0_6yhKfOc It is bittersweet to watch old videos like this. The three men there have all died of cancer: drummer Keith Mitchell on May 14, 2017, violinist William Cooper [Glenn] on March 16, 2001, and composer and guitarist Dave Roback on February 24, 2020, at which point the band was finally over for good. (They had sporadic revivals over the years until then.) After the completion of their third studio album Among My Swan (1996), bassist Jill Emery stepped away from music to focus on the visual arts, and now prefers to be mostly known as a painter. But AFAIK, lyricist and lead vocalist Hope Sandoval and keyboardist Suki Ewers are still trucking along, occasionally doing music still. Posted by: SciVo at June 25, 2026 10:26 PM (Sy6m/) 102

So I went to mow part of my yard with the Dixon mower this morning, reserving the afternoon to work on buddy's Gravely mower. Fire up the Dixon, head off to the unmowed patch, and WTF? It won't hardly steer to the right at all. Left drive wheel not getting any drive, forwards or back. Limp it back up to the shop, get into it, and discover a broken part. I'm going to call it a fulcrum strut; I don't know its proper name. Part of the weird cone-and-cup drive used by Dixon for many years. It's a 5/16" steel rod, with one end threaded a long way for 5/16-24 NF, and the other end has a 2 inch long slug of 1/2" rod welded to it, threaded in 1/2-20 NF. The weld had broken. Bad Peon weld, it only lasted ten years! So I cleaned up the damaged area, made a new weld, and reinstalled it. Mower back in service. Yay!

When I was 9 years old, my best friend's older sister who was in junior high, was diagnosed with cancer. In those days that was a death sentence. She had her leg amputated. My friend wrote to "Queen for a Day" to try to get her sister on the show. She watched the mail for weeks after, to see if she got a response. Of course she didn't and that show always left a bad taste in my mouth. Posted by: nerdygirl at June 25, 2026 10:32 PM (0Htd1) 120

There is an obscure bit of historical accuracy in Tombstone. It was never determined how Ringo died. He was found by an oak tree, dead with a gunshot wound to the head, possibly a suicide.
In the movie Earp was told to meet Ringo by an oak tree, Holiday and Ringo had their confrontation by that oak tree, Holiday says, "Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave," and then Holiday tells Earp that Ringo couldn't handle the strain.

I've never seen Tombstone. However, I read a well-written scholarly bio of the historical Earp-- the kind of book with footnotes for each chapter, & a full bibliography at the end. I concluded that the Earp brothers and the Clantons were NOT just two similar groups of thugs-- just alike. Ike Clanton announced quite clearly that he was riding into town to kill the Earps. Wyatt's brother either was, or had been, a Deputy U.S. Marsal (can't recall which). At the time of the shootout, Wyatt was a duly-appointed lawman himself. Attacking the police with firearms is just a very bad idea-- then or now. Ike Clanton was also drunk when he died btw. The firefight lasted 12 secons from first shot to last shot, IIRC. Having read that history book, I see Wyatt Earp as a somewhat commendable historical figure. He spent only a couple of years of his long life as a lawmen, in several different places. The OTHER 50 or so years, he was a bouncer in a saloon casino; a casino owner; and a prize fight referee. He described himself to a journo as having "mostly been a merchant in pasteboard and ivory." He was a delegate to the GOP National Convention in 1920 (I THINK it was 1920). Posted by: mnw at June 25, 2026 10:43 PM (RCjYY) 139

They make little digital music players that look like tiny walkmans complete with an lcd screen that plays animation of a "tape" spooling. Why do I have a music player instead of just use my phone? Because getting stuff on a phone isn't always easy, certainly not with an iphone and I like to rip my own stuff with Exact Audio Copy at lossless. And not one of those pricy ones. It was about 50 bucks, has a good headphone amp/DAC, and takes a 256GB microSD. FiiO Snowsky Echo Mini.
And that leads to the following conspiracy theory. I wonder if all these consumer products that are much much cheaper than the name brand items of 4-5 years ago are being dumped onto the USA market by china to get a distributed cloud of devices that can form surveillance nets. This thing has bluetooth. That's an antenna. A lot of "smart" watches are now available at $10-$50 now, same thing. There's a flood of these little devices coming in with various types of antennas.

They had these mission types, using letters (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) leading up the actual landing, which was a G-mission. A and B were unmanned tests. The C mission was the manned test of the CSM in LEO, and that was Apollo 7, launched by a Saturn IB. The D mission was the crewed test of the CSM and LM in LEO, and this was supposed to be Apollo 8. Apollo 9 was going to be an E-mission, which was a high elliptical orbit test of the CSM-LM. An almost TLI going to high apogee. Borman, Anders, and Lovell were training for this D-mission. But it became apparent that the D version of the LM wasn't going to be ready, and no way to safely make it ready. The Saturn V and CSM were ready, and so they went to broke and came up with a "C-prime mission". The crews switched because the crew for the D-mission was in heavy training and simulation for that. After the success of both 8 and 9, there was no need for the E mission anymore. They went right to the F-mission, Apollo 10.

addendum to 138:
Apparently I exceeded the word limit, so they made me stop typing. Another thing I found interesting about the Earps & the shootout at the OK corral: Tombstone had a group of miners who had formed an auxiliary police force. The Earps could've summoned 20 or so armed men by ringing the town's alarm bell. They chose not to do so, because they didn't want a bunch of amateurs shooting God knows what. Instead, when the Earps decided they needed reinforcemnt, Wyatt sent for his friend Doc-- who was NOT an amateur. Posted by: mnw at June 25, 2026 11:00 PM (RCjYY) 171

The $200 walkman had a ton of clones within a year with the price down around $79. Within 2 years, cheap ones were around $39. At that point, the "real" Walkman was on version 2 and the price was under a hundred bucks. Also, by that point all the variants were ubiquitous.

Another big reason for the C' mission being created was fear the Rooskies might beat us to a crewed fly by of the Moon. Spy photos spotted the ill-fated Russian N1 rocket being set up at a massive new launch complex. Turned out it was just a mock-up, being used for pad integration testing and all that. You get a mock up model of your rocket to test out the layout and connections and ground crew procedures. There is some speculation that the very high ups (CIA and WH level) knew it was a mock-up and not a real rocket, but NASA didn't know. This would've meant a very high level inside source, so it's understandable they would want to protect him at all costs. Anyway, NASA feared the Rooskies might be about launch a crew around the Moon.

Went to Penn State for a week long work related training class circa 1984 when the Walkman was new. I remember watching pedestrians cross at an intersection and the individual in the car with me saw someone wearing the distinctive headphones. He thought it looked terrible to be walking along listening to music and lost in your own world. He referred to it as an "anti-personal" device.

A zombie brand, like Dual, and Crosley and Studebaker are now. REO was Ransom E. Olds' car company after he sold Oldsmobile to General Motors, and could not use his own full name on cars he built. And trucks; REO was a big name in trucks for some time.

I was just reading about the original A - G Apollo mission plans, specifically to see what the E mission that never was was supposed to be. The whole progression was one or two little steps at the time getting closer and closer to the Moon. The E mission was going was to be a half-way TLI, throwing the CSM and LM to a very high elliptical orbit, and then return to earth. It was going to test deep space navigation and communication techniques as one of the main objectives. Apollo 8's shuffled C' mission of course accomplished all that, and got to lunar orbit. They took a much larger step than intended with that, a big risk, really. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 12:18 AM (w6EFb) 262

207 Watched the 4K of "The Big Lebowski." It's a really good movie, and probably the most Cohen Bros movie of all the Cohen Bros movies. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at June 25, 2026 11:29 PM (CHHv1) I heard someone analyze it once (really? Analyze a Cohen bros movie?) but they made a point that was kind of fascinating. They held that what makes it so intriguing is that it’s the complete inverse of Campbell”s “Hero’s Journey”. That’s the basic plot where the Hero leaves his home, has perilous experiences, is profoundly changed and because of that is able to overcome. But in the Big Lebowski, the Dude leaves his house, and undergoes a series of perilous adventures; but he doesn’t change one bit. Everyone else changes and the problems are solved; but the Dude does not change at all. He simply Abides. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 26, 2026 12:18 AM (o8hG1) 265

Deep space navigation, as they called it back then. I think of Deep Space as say, way out, but it's all relative. Imagine you're floating in a little tin can a 100K miles from earth. You need to where you are, and where you're headed. You need to know the attitude of your little tin can relative to an earthly coordinate system reference. How are you going to do that? The stars. They had gyros and IMUs, but those things would accumulate errors over the course of days. They had to realign them every so often. When you're making a critical rocket burn to put in orbit around the Moon, or come out of orbit and head back to Erf, it's critical you know exactly which way to point yourself. The details are complex, but quite fascinating. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 12:27 AM (w6EFb) 279

The Orion capsule's navigation system was much more advanced than Apollo, much more, and completely automated. The computers could do their own stellar realignment and position fixing.

Thanks for the ONT! Not every song can hit with everyone, but I really liked the Al Stewart one. In fact, digging around I found two versions of official audio for "On The Border," and decided that I didn't care for the 2001 remaster as much as the 1976 original. It could be all in my head, but I thought the remaster was a bit blurry, going for fullness (a little bassy) but losing articulateness, while the original was crisper (nice treble) and more balanced:

An example of that floating in a tin can and needing manual navigation was Apollo 13. The movie made reference to some of this. When the LOX tank blew up, the SM was continuously venting crap, making a little cloud of sparklers glinting in sunlight all the time. This made it near impossible to sight stars with the sextant(s). They had to use cruder targets. As was dramatized in the movie, on the way back, near earth, they needed to do a course correction maneuver, otherwise they were fucked. Houston needed a precise position fix to do the calculation. At the time, the only observatory that had clear enough skies to do it was Chabot, in Oakland. And you remember from the movie, how Lovell had to use a crude method to hold attitude during that burn. He eyeballed the earth's terminator cusps for one axis, and the other one used the sun I think for the other axis. They had to time the burn with wristwatches. And they got home.

Lovel had one axis thrusters and Haise the other (roll didn't matter, as it was the axis of thrust). Lovell lined up the earth's terminator (crescent earth), so the cusps, the sharp ends were touching one of the reference lines in his sight. Haise kept the sun centered in another sight. Note one job, one axis, for each man. And, your life depends on doing that one job perfectly. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 01:30 AM (w6EFb) 326

I had Grok go over just what Lovell and Haise had to do. Lovell. Imagine looking at the crescent Moon through a sight. You align one of the cross-hairs so the "horns", the points at the end of the terminator are just touching that crosshair. If it moves, you hit the thruster control to push it back. Haise was sighting the Sun through another optical instrument. His job was to keep the Sun centered on the bullseye. If Lovell was doing his job, he only had to worry with one direction, call it up and down. If the Sun moved, he hit his thruster to move it the other way. Swigert's job was to fire the engine on a mark with his watch, and then shut them down at the right mark. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 02:25 AM (w6EFb) 344
Before that final course correction, they were coming in too shallow. They would have "skipped off the atmosphere" and shot off into space (they would've eventually come back, but they would've been dead by then). The reason was the constant venting of the damaged SM was causing a little constant thrust to the spacecraft, every so slightly, but continuously altering its trajectory. Also, they made some errors in some of the previous burns due to the fact the spacecraft had lost some mass due to the explosion and venting.

Yes, Apollo 8 as well as 13. Lovell was command module pilot for Apollo 8, and commander for 13. John Young and Gene Cernan are two other two-fers, both on Apollo 10, the almost landing dress rehearsal. Young went to command Apollo 16, and Cernan commanded Apollo 17, and became the Last Man on the Moon. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 02:52 AM (w6EFb) 349
Lovell passed away in 2025, before Artemis II. But he prerecorded a message for the Crew when they entered the Lunar Sphere of Influence. He said, "Welcome to my old neigborhood". Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 26, 2026 02:54 AM (w6EFb) 350
Before Artemis II, 24 men had entered the lunar sphere of influence. Now, there's 28 and we have to say 28 humans, cause one of them is now a female womyns, Christina Koch. So now 1 female American womyns, and one Canuck join the ranks. There were only 12 Moonwalkers. And only 4 remain alive.

All astronauts are put under extensive psychological stress, really torture tests to screen out those who fall apart under pressure. They do things like lock them in tiny dark rooms for extended periods and see who cracks. Then they psychologists who try their best to find their buttons, push them, and see if they can break them. But even that is not 100%. There is some talk of a mission specialist on one of the STS missions who was about to wig out.

I like the movie, but it's depiction of basic training is completely unrealistic. Basic is designed to chew up smart asses like Bill Murray's character and spit them out, then either mold what's left into soldiers, or get rid of them. Also, the Sgt Hulka character was too old and too nice to be a DI.
---- I understand what you're saying. But it wouldn't be much of a comedy if Hulka morphed into Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. Actually, that would be hilarious! John Candy as Private Pyle! Posted by: Midnight Rambler at June 26, 2026 04:06 AM (Eax70) 362

Clarification on the above. Lovell and Apollo 13 didn't enter lunar orbit, they just whipped around to slingshot back to earth, using the free return trajectory. Apollo 11 used the free return trajectory all the way, as did Apollo 8 and 10 before them. But from Apollo 12, onwards they would deviate. The reason was a free return severely limited the landing sites. Now, they put it on a free-return trajectory with the initial TLI burn. Only after they docked with the LM and checked out all the systems, would they do the manuever to alter it from return. The explosion occurred after than with Apollo 13, so they had to do a burn to put them back on free-return.

It's IPO had a projected TAM of 28.5 TRILLION, with more than 90% of that as the imputed value of AI unicorn farts, not the core business. Musk is cashing on AI the bubble with a grossly inflated IPO. The business will remain perfectly viable at a drastically reduced stock price, and the speculators will take a haircut. The stock price is going to drop more before it finds something approaching a realistic price. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 25, 2026 08:03 PM (BI5O2) 54

We used to live in Richmond. I-95 scared the bejeepers of me. Always made my husband drive whenever we had to use it.
I had to bring a boat back from western South Carolina once. I don't remember the route numbers, i followed the GPS, but it paralleled 95 and went up through the Blue Ridge Mountains, into the middle of PA and then took me up the Hudson Valley before crossing into CT. I completely avoided 95 and it was a much prettier and less stressful drive. Probably took a couple hours longer and worth it. Posted by: JackStraw at June 25, 2026 08:40 PM (viF8m) Interstate 81 is a lot of it - goes through the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge valleys in a SW-NE slant paralleling the coast but missing all the major cities. Also very scenic if you pop off and do a few miles on the park routes on the ridge tops. But don't try to go the whole way up there, too twisty.

Jesús Enrique Rosas' analysis of Citizen Vigilante starts off:
Citizen Vigilante' is the exact cultural pipe bomb we deserved in 2026. Is it an artistic masterpiece? Hell no. It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention?

I could almost feel sorry for him but it's Scott Wiener.
U.S. Congressional candidate Scott Wiener was harassed by a Free Palestine activist. Scott, who is Jewish, had changed his stance on Israel, parroting the typical Free Palestine rhetoric, in order to get easy votes. It turns out, to nobody's surprise, that he still isn't spared from falling under the "Zionist" label that the Free Palestine crowd uses. - Video. https://tinyurl.com/e4tbr8bc - The Frankenstein's monster they've created has slipped its bonds..

Long ago, 1980s, i was in a furniture delivery truck driving south on I-95 in Maryland. It was the end of the day, driving back to the warehouse in an empty truck to finish up at the end of the day. The left-most lane had a pair of approaching headlights. The driver moved right out of the lane, and a car blew past going in the opposite direction at full speed. Got a glimpse of two white-haired geezers in the front seats. Combined approach speed about 130 mph. You see some weird things on the road doing a delivery job every day, but that was one of the weirdest. I didn't see anything in the paper about a fatal head on collision, so maybe the geezers figured it out. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at June 25, 2026 09:01 PM (ienUH) 175

Jesús Enrique Rosas' analysis of Citizen Vigilante starts off:
Citizen Vigilante' is the exact cultural pipe bomb we deserved in 2026. Is it an artistic masterpiece? Hell no. It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention?

Official State Appetizer
Louisiana is unique in that it is the only state in the United States to have an official state appetizer, which is calamari. Significance of Calamari in Louisiana Cultural Heritage: Calamari reflects Louisiana's rich culinary traditions, influenced by its diverse cultural heritage. Culinary Recognition: The designation of calamari as the state appetizer highlights the state's commitment to celebrating its local cuisine. ^^^Would you look at that!

I was watching a Charlie Kirk vidya, and he brought up first-born privilege; that the eldest child is the most successful because of the parents' attention.
Me? I am the eldest of my siblings. I sincerely believe I was the practice kid. Kind of a beta test. I love my Mom and Dad. I am blessed to have had parents such as they.

Tactical brilliance implied by his continuous evasion of the law combined with zero opsec, using ungloved hands leaving fingerprints all over crime scenes. On the good side, great gory practical effects at the ambush scene A non-cliffhanger open-ended finish, leaving room for a sequel, but no compelling reason to care.

Official State Appetizer
Louisiana is unique in that it is the only state in the United States to have an official state appetizer, which is calamari. -------- It is because of the Croatian immigrants. Check the dynastic political family names in a few parishes. And calamari is not even Hrvatsko Posted by: Imlkos from the vowelless island of Krk at June 26, 2026 03:15 AM (6VErX) Europe Prepares for Remigration?"Remigration" being the preferred euphemism for "kicking them out and sending them back home." They plan to send illegal aliens to detention areas outside of Europe as their meritless asylum claims are processed.Well, those seeking "asylum" should have no objection because they will be granted asylum in these third country areas while their claims are processed, right? On the other hand, if they're just migrants gaming the system to gain entry into the countries with the welfare systems of their choice, they might not like the plan. But I'm sure it's mostly the former, right? Meanwhile, the same left that insisted that Haiti was a beautiful country when Trump offhandedly referred to it as a "shithole" are now saying it's a death sentence to send Haitians back to Haiti. But I thought it was a beautiful country...?

The Caitlyn Clark attacks won’t stop until she’s permanently injured or worse, it seems. The refs and league allow this. She was punched in the neck while also being kneed in the ground as she was down the other night - and she was fouled. Think I read that half of the technical fouls in the league are against her.

We, and the media, would be talking about what a star Clark is, as they did when she as in college.

American citizens in Springfield, Ohio are rejoicing after the Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to cancel the quasi-amnesty Temporary Protected Status (TPS) granted to the city’s huge population of Haitian migrants despite strong opposition from local and national business groups. “Yes!! Supreme Court allowing deportation of Haitians to continue!!!” said a message from a local Facebook group, Stop the Influx into Springfield, Ohio. “When is the farewell party? this is an occasion for celebration,” said anonymous member 811 after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump could end the Temporary Protected Status given to Haitians by President Joe Biden. “Yes it is, we have all been thru hell,” responded PositiveYuzu2386.

One of the repeated trash talking Bird used his whole career was telling the opposing coach that he was insulted if he put a white guy to guard him. And Bird was a huge trash talker, I've heard about a dozen old pros say it, white and black. Another thing he would do is tell the guy guarding him exactly what he would do then dare him to stop it, which usually they could not do. Thomas is still mad someone - Bird, MJ, Pippen, the coach vetoed him being on the Dream Team. Posted by: Oldcat at June 25, 2026 08:23 PM (uhVAy) 147

EU better hope it's not too little too late. I just watched Citizen Vigilante, courtesy Mr. Musk. It's not a good movie, but the inspirational and agitating properties are off the charts. I especially loved a scene in which a hospitalized woman deliberately gives a cop a 180 degree wrong description of the vigilante who visited her in the hospital. More than that, I loved the scene where the "good guy" offs 9 Muslims, 6 of whom are rapists and the other 3 -- dad, mom, and sister -- are family members.

If the EU starts deporting large numbers of illegals then what Western open borders coutnries are left?
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. They are already being overwhelmed. But the flood would turn into a tsunami. They will soon have no choice but to secure their borders. Their citizens will demand it. One way (peacefully) or another (violently), their citizens will get it. The end of open borders could soon be here. It's almost possible to declare a time of death: August 15, 2029. That's the last possible date before the next UK elections. Posted by: Hava Tequila at June 25, 2026 10:50 PM (+Ptaa) 154
When... if... the history is written, the word "remigration" will not appear.
It will be the "Second Reconquista". And as far is Clark is concerned I'll admit the only WNBA games I've ever watched were because she was appearing. I don't think either game was highlight reel material but Clark is clearly playing on a level that her teammates can't begin to emulate. She clearly loves the game. Not sure how WNBA contracts shield the league from liability for criminal bodily injury; the level of legal barriers against a player suing for unsafe work environment have been eroded pretty heavily by multiple jury decisions. I see her playing until one of those huge angry women finally puts her in hospital and then she cashes out. Might be the only way she gets paid her worth. Sad. Posted by: TmjUtah at June 25, 2026 11:08 PM (iTgiQ) Quick HitsFive girls were walking on a street in NJ when an member of an unspecified religion threw acid in their faces, scarring them for life. Five people are recovering after someone drove up in a vehicle and threw acid on them in Jersey City, according to police. It happened on Monday near 105 Wilkinson Ave. Five women were outside the location when individuals riding in a vehicle drove up and threw what is believed to be sulfuric acid at them, according to preliminary information from Jersey City Police. All five victims were taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries that included skin burns and peeling. All the victims are stable. Police say the incident appeared to have been targeted and may have stemmed from a dispute between a large group of people earlier in the day.Police will only identify the attacker as a "juvenile." What kind of juvenile? The left is pro-terrorist, period. Pro-Palestinian groups are calling for justice for the eight activists indicted on federal vandalism charges for allegedly attacking the homes and buildings of pro-Israel groups and people. However, national security and pro-Israel groups are saying that Jewish people must be protected against violence. The reactions follow the June 10 announcement of an indictment of eight pro-Palestinian individuals, at least seven of whom are affiliated with the University of Michigan. The indictment outlined information about these individuals; Zainab Hakim, Alexander Sepulveda, and Marian Odeh are graduates of UMichigan, Amatullah Hakim, Paige Feyock, and Jonathan Zou, are current students, while Ahmet Korkaya formerly lived in Ann Arbor and Colin Weger currently does as well. The indictment's counts included charges of the transmission of threats in interstate and foreign commerce, witness intimidation, and the destruction of property to prevent seizure.In the terror plot culminating in a Texas cop being shot in the neck, leftists are claiming that the Mexican national terrorist got 30 years for "reading leftist magazines." That's a lie, obviously. When the terrorists were being rounded up after shooting the cop, they called the Mexican national and told him to get rid of their antifa propaganda. Possibly they wanted to dispose of the evidence that they committed the shooting as part of an antifa terrorist action. This was evidence being sought in a terror shooting, and the Mexican national did attempt to dispose of the evidence. A far cry from "he got 30 years for reading The Nation." Hiding/destroying evidence usually involves paperwork like this. It only occasionally involves destroying "sexy" evidence like drugs, explosives, or guns.

Colorado actually has a Wolf Depredation Compensation Fund, which I find disturbing.

And, they use this fund to support/"legitamize" their law that you can't shoot a wolf on your own property. Instead, there will be compensation for the aftermath.

>>Colorado actually has a Wolf Depredation Compensation Fund, which I find disturbing. IOW, the Colorado government KNOWS that releasing Gray Wolves is going to lead to constituents losing livestock and pets, and actually set money asside to pay for that. I think it said there is a $15,000 limit on vet bills.
And, they use this fund to support/"legitamize" their law that you can't shoot a wolf on your own property. Instead, there will be compensation for the aftermath. That's the same asinine philosophy that argues against self-defense and protection of property. Let me tell you how this goes... "Your Dog/Sheep/Cattle was killed by a Wolf?

Re the convictions in the terror cases: the way Europe ended their scourge of leftist terrorism in the '60s was to be very aggressive with those who provided material support, like these loons hiding evidence, or people who pass money around, or provide safe houses. So it's fantastic that we are doing this. One terrorist from that time it took 3 people to hide and support one leftist, so eventually they ran out of dopey supporters.

Citizen Vigilante is a typical revenge flick except it just ends. There’s no internal struggle about becoming what he hates, it’s simply: your leaders are happy to do this to you, there is no justice, the people doing this are irredeemable (see Muslim dad saying his son acted according to this values, he’s unapologetic), so stop being sheep. There’s really no plot, it’s an argument for vigilantism.

Maybe this will serve as a precedent for a ruling knocking down that racial discrimination. But for the moment, the Supreme Court has ruled that Hawaii's "spirit of Aloha" does not grant the racist statespecial license to deny American citizens their second amendment rights. And the states of California, Maryland, NJ, and NY will likewise have to accept that the Supreme Court meant what it said when it reaffirmed that Americans generally have the right to self-defense. Note that the Court says that property owners can in fact exclude guns from their property -- but the state can't make it a crime to bring guns to someone's property, if that property owner hasn't said anything about guns either way.

Previous decision was totally contrary to the "Spirit of Aloha".
The State has some holdover from old Hawaiian Law. One being 'equal access' - Even the King could not block peasants from their land if they (peasant) want to go to the mountain or the sea. The modern way is to have clearly designated 'beach access' from public roads or let the unclean masses trapse through your beautiful resort. (A lot of hotels did let folks pass through from street to beach rather than giving a designated access lane). Not many wanted to go to the mountain... unless you just washed up on the beach... so it works both ways. So, even using Hawaiian Law, the original decision was pure BS.

I think this opinion has the potential to hit even harder than it does on the surface (and not just with the 2nd Amendment).
Let's look at the 1st Amendment for a moment. In California, an employer has the ability to fire you for not using a person's preferred pronouns. They support this under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), gender expression is fully protected. And yet, that contradicts the 1st Amendment via someone who does not accept "transgender" or multiple genders, or plural pronouns as applicable. One could hold their opinion based on grammar, religion, common sense, or factual biology...and as your opinion, your 1st Amendment rights protect you. California is, basically, altering the 1st Amendment, as Hawaii was altering the 2nd Amendment, are they not? Posted by: Orson at June 25, 2026 04:48 PM (dIske) 45

It's no secret that the native Hawaiians are pretty racist against everyone that isn't them. And the state government panders to that. What complicates that a bit is that the historic Hawaiian culture was racially differentiated. There were ordinary subjects that were shorter and darker, and a ruling aristocracy that was taller and lighter. The aristocracy had the power of instant arbitrary life and death over the lower class. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at June 25, 2026 04:57 PM (VWtfl) 65

In AZ, it's illegal to carry, concealed or otherwise, a firearm onto commercial premises that serve alcohol, and anyplace that marks their entrances with signs to that effect.
That law is probably overbroad. I can see it for some shit-kickin' country bars -but even there, most of the fights are in the parking lot with easy access to the pickup the gun is probably in - but you have to leave the gun outside, even in really placid restaurants. The Show Low Cafe picked up a license after years without it.

Re: the previous discussion of the Socialists taking over NY state and the Democratic Party eventually, a little historical hindsight is revelatory:
When the demographic of cowardly 18-24-year-olld males in the late 1960s stp merely "going to anti-war protests"to ave their own skins from being drafted, and organized into the Students for a Democratic Society, they all thought it was a fantastic turns of events, getting organized, getting their voices heard, pressuring LBJ an the Democrats, rioting at the Chicago Dem convention, etc. "Wow! we're making headway. We're becming influential!" they all thought. And then the commies stepped in, co=pted tthe SDS, turned it far-left, and they all thught, :Wow! Thisn is great! The "Revolution: is abut to happen! We're a realm force in American politics!" And then the SDS splintered into The Weather Underground Maoist terror network, the Yippie anarchist street theater, and the rest infiltrating thr Democratic Party to turn it left, they all thought, "This is Great! We're fighting on three fronts -- mainstream poltics, media manipulation, and terror attacksm-- all at once! We're sure to win soon, and The Revolution is here.. (con't) Posted by: zombie at June 25, 2026 05:09 PM (Av6i5) 104
And then reality happened.
And reality was two consecutive Richard Nixon landslides, and the US as a whole turning RIGHTward. Because taking over the Democratic Party internally and turning it leftward is NOT the same thing and influencing the electoral overall as a whole. History has proven time and time again that dragging one of of the political spectrum off to the extreme only causes the other end - and the center, most importantly -- the pull the opposite direction. The Dems with go from being a center-left part with 45% of overall popular support, to being an extreme left party with 28% popular support. The socialist may win internal Dem battles, and battle within blue states, but all they're doing is setting themselves up to fail on a nationwide scale.

"fairly applies a first principle of property law--the right to exclude--and does no harm to the Second Amendment."
No, actually, it doesn't. Because it applies a burdensome standard to the property owner and the bearer of arms. See, in a normal situation, the property owner has to notify everyone of exceptions to the normal course of exercising their rights. You have to tell people "no trespassing" because the normal exercise of their rights is to go on your property - to sell you something or serve you notice or just knock on your door to meet you. You have to tell them "I not only don't want what you're selling, but I don't even want to have to tell you 'No' and to get off my property." The "vampire rule" required me to say "Yes, you can exercise your rights here." And it harmed the 2A because it said I had to assume I would NOT be allowed to exercise my rights unless communicated otherwise. Posted by: GWB at June 25, 2026 05:13 PM (kU0PQ) 112

Posted by: zombie at June 25, 2026 05:09 PM (Av6i5) It is impossible for them to understand this, because they have been brainwashed to believe that MAGA is far-right. Intellectually, they know that Trump won the "popular vote" show pony in the last election, and therefore logically must have captured the center. But they hold onto the cognitive dissonance like their egos depend on it, so they would look at your argument and go "Aha! Republicans are going *down*!!"

The DOJ really needs to start demanding Judges rule on whether someone even has standing to sue in a lot of these cases.
To have standing, you must show harm... either real or imminent. Now, what HARM is there having Trump's name on the Kennedy Center? IANAL, but I'm pretty sure a lot of laws explicitly lower standing requirements.

It's a dude who wears a wig. They all are. MEDIA, Pa. -- A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone. Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said evidence from a neighbor's doorbell camera, ballistics and analysis of cellphone records have left investigators certain Michelle Zajko is at least partly responsible for the deaths of her parents, Rita and Richard. They were shot in her childhood playroom on New Year's Eve 2022, surrounded by her old dolls and toys.His old dolls and toys, and what a psychopathic staging of the murder of one's parents. "At this time we do not know who her co-conspirators were, but we are very certain that Michelle Zajko was in the home and arranged for the death of her parents," Rouse said.Yeah it's the other transgenders in the "Ziz" cult. They're almost all murderers. The cult is responsible for a string of brutal murders across the US and the media tiptoes around it. So close to Pride Month?!!? You're charging "Her" so close to Pride Month?!?! Here comes the only hint that this is a cult of transgender lunatics: The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence.They "share beliefs about gender identity" is not quite admitting the truth that they're all "transgender women" and in fact believe that "transgender women" have superpowers, like the X-Men. Since 2022, members have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord, the landlord's subsequent killing, the Zajkos' deaths in Pennsylvania, and a highway shootout in Vermont that left a border agent and another Zizian dead. In the Pennsylvania case, investigators spent years painstakingly collecting evidence, Rouse said, including video from a neighbor's doorbell camera that captured two people getting out of a car outside the Zajkos' home in Chester Heights, a voice shouting "Mom!" and another voice exclaiming, "Oh my God! Oh, God, God!" Authorities haven't found a weapon, but Zajko made a list describing mistakes such as leaving shell casings behind, he said. Those casings matched ammunition from Zajko's home in Vermont and from a firing range in her backyard, Rouse said. "If she wasn't the one who actually pulled the trigger, she was certainly aligned with those who did," he said.Incredible -- exactly like the grooming gang cover-up in the UK. The media will simply lie to protect protected "identities" responsible for heinous crimes. Here's the little lady, below:
Finally, it's worth noting that despite the long trail of murders associated with this group, NBC News and CNN can barely bring themselves to mention to readers that nearly all of the group's members are trans. NBC gives it exactly one paragraph near the end of the story.I think that's just a copy/paste of the AP's cover-up language.CNN is even worse and barely mentions it at all.

I think we need to bring back bullying.
I wonder how these nut cases would respond if a "therapist" looks them straight in the eyes and says. Guess what, sport. You are a male. You will always be a male. Wearing a dress, make-up, or cutting off your genitals doesn't change that. You have every right to act weird, dress as you like, display all kinds of different affectations of a stereotypical female. But, at the end of the day you are playing dress-up, and it is reflective of immaturity and potentially (likely) mental illness. That will be $500, and don't come back. I've given you my professional and common sense assessment and I am correct. Posted by: Orson at June 25, 2026 03:37 PM (dIske) 39

"Kirk's dik-dik in Namibia It took the help of a telephoto lens to capture this little antelope's extreme close-up. (You can tell by the photo's stark depth of field—notice the crisp focus on the eyes that turns soft toward the nose.) Tiny in stature, the Kirk's dik-dik survives on supreme skittishness, hiding away in scrubby thickets from predators and photographers alike. When a female dik-dik is startled, it'll take off like a shot in a zigzagging, 25-mile-per-hour sprint, chattering warnings to its fellows with an onomatopoeic shout of 'dik-dik-dik.' Kirk's dik-dik is split into two populations in eastern and southwestern Africa—this west-coaster was spotted in the wilds of Namibia in its habitat along the Fish River" Posted by: SciVo at June 25, 2026 03:49 PM (Sy6m/) 81

In our relatively small town in Western Colorado, we had a recent incident were a fake woman freaked out at a Dairy Queen over his drink order or something and stabbed someone, tore out of the parking lot hitting multiple cars, was pursued by Police, hitting more cars injuring people, and was eventually shot and killed by Police before he could injure and possibly kill more.
News reports along with Coroner reports call him a woman and a she. This is due to a Colorado law passed by the crazies in Denver who say that they have to go with what gender the person identified with and not what gender they actually are. So even though the Coroner saw clearly that it was a man on the table, he had to write Woman on his report because the his ID had a woman's name on it.

I'm tired of being polite. This "transgender" issue is just a good example of many issues. It's time to stop the purposeful disassociation and just come out and insist:
"Transgenders" don't exist. It's made up. There is no single individual on the planet (past, present or future) who is NOT the same sex to which they were born. Wearing different clothes, portraying a different dimeanor, talking differently, wearing make-up, mutilating your sexual organs, any related surgical procedures. It's all just generic altherations. It is a disguise and play acting. There is no such thing as a "transgender". It annoys me that the word "transgender" is even used because it implies existence. It doesn't.

So first we'd need new psych schools, Christ-based, to be built, and the whole current field to be fired and replaced, and all the current "science", the entire body of works, to be burned on a pyre.

While Media isn't geographically on the Philadelphia "Main Line" (commuter train along US30), I'm sure most residents of Media feel like they are part of the Main Line.
I once worked with a guy who grew up in Boston. He was moving to the Philadelphia area for a job and everybody told him he just had to get a home on the Main Line. They suggested he go to a few cocktail parties to learn about the various town and villages along the Main Line. The first thing he learned was that virtually every child growing up on the Main Line was "gift". Parent after parent would tell him about their "gifted child". He thought his kids were smart but not gifted, so he decide to get a home is West Chester PA (not to be confused with West Chester NY) which is sort of just off the end of the Main Line.

Here's one Muslim apostate on X: I’m someone who was once a practicing Muslim, I know Islam intimately, from the inside. And right now, I’m deeply, genuinely alarmed. What breaks my heart is that almost no one truly understands what I’m saying… except those who’ve lived it. The actual victims of this ideology. It’s a lonely, painful thing, watching something so destructive unfold in plain sight, while the people around you remain completely oblivious. You see the warning signs so clearly, yet most just smile, nod, and keep scrolling. That silence and denial is exhausting. Even worse, some twist the knife by trying to make you feel stupid, like you’re overreacting, paranoid, or imagining something that isn’t even happening.

"Understand that as soon as they gain the necessary numbers, these people will start manipulating the jury system just as has happened in the UK."
A lesson from Lee Kuan Yew, the long time ruler of Singapore; he found that in a multi-ethnic society, that Malays on a jury would always refuse to convict a Malay; Chinese would refuse to convict a Chinese defendant; and Philipinos refused to convince Philipino's.

A lesson from Lee Kuan Yew, the long time ruler of Singapore; he found that in a multi-ethnic society, that Malays on a jury would always refuse to convict a Malay; Chinese would refuse to convict a Chinese defendant; and Philipinos refused to convince Philipino's. So he did away with all jury trials as ineffective and unworkable in that type of society.
And he was right; there really was no other choice. The problem is that you then get judges deciding on conviction; judges selected by the likes of Obama. Posted by: Archimedes at June 25, 2026 02:35 PM (Riz8t) 39

It's a test for how stupid, ignorant and evil the left is. The National Park Service says, "yes, absolutely. On June 9, we discovered the liner had been cut with a sharp knife or razor. Also, several post caps were thrown in." The AP, barely a paragraph later, "Trump has asserted, without evidence, that vandals have damaged the liner."

Perhaps it's time to send a few containers of very sharp ceremonial knives to the UK for the natives, in order for them to wear their proper attire.

Following this to its logical conclusion is a nightmare for America.
Violence is inevitable. Hopefully not on a large scale, but Muslims being who they are, will look at UK and think they can do the same without a pushback. Things will get bloody. Our media will clutch their pearls in horror as the Islamists violently remove the gay/tranny population. There won't be any real pushback until some overt mass attack occurs and suddenly, hopefully it's not too late. If this country had any sense, we'd ban immigrants from any country where beheadings occur. Islam IS hate.

Tucker was always at least one bubble off plumb, but he really went sideways this time and I don't think there's any coming back. I do wonder if he's been doing those weird new age drugs or something because when he went, he went all at once. Not sure if he is still capable of rational thought at this point. Not sure I completely care, either.

The solar-powered speakers on the mountain are interesting.
The puzzling thing is how they are getting a signal? Bluetooth - In an outdoor area you’d be luck to get a signal around 100 feet, at most. WiFi - Outdoors, it could work to about 300 feet. Wired - Miles of speaker wires strung and buried. It only makes sense in the video if the woman on the horse, or a friend, was sending signal to the speakers with a phone or laptop.

- Every park, even the little patches of green space between office buildings in DC is the jurisdiction of the NPP. They are all across the city, not just the national mall. - They are police, not park rangers. A lot of the criminals they arrest are typical city crimes, such as drug trafficking, violence, etc. the guy I knew had been a NYC cop for years before moving to DC.

We have a very strange find out of California. A horseback rider has discovered hundreds, if not thousands, of solar powered speakers in the mountains of Mount Shasta.
You can clearly hear the speakers giving off an overall "White Noise" type of sound. Some of the speakers do seem to play what sounds like a human voice. The speakers seem to spread over a wide area of the mountain and can be heard if you are within so many feet of them. Who would do this? What are they really doing? Have any of you ever witnessed Anything like this? Posted by: beckster at June 25, 2026 02:27 PM (kX27y) You know what is significantly missing from this report?

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at June 25, 2026 04:56 PM (hzuYO) Trump: I'm Not Signing Any Bills Until the Senate Passes the SAVE ActIf Trump doesn't sign the bill within ten days, it is automatically vetoed. That's the so-called "pocket veto." Trump had earlier ordered the Postmaster General to not deliver federal mail-in ballots to states which refused to turn over their voter lists for vetting. The Postmaster General confirmed he will obey that order, in congressional testimony. Postmaster General David Steiner told senators during a hearing Wednesday that he plans to abide by the Trump administration's rule regarding not delivering mail-in ballots in states that decline to hand over sensitive data about voters to the federal government. The proposed rule faces court challenges and Steiner said he would follow any court ruling on the matter, but will follow the rule until an order blocks it. The proposed rule seeks to create lists of citizens in each state to help determine who is eligible to vote and calls on the Postal Service not to distribute mail ballots to those not on state lists. Steiner confirmed he would follow the rule after Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters asked "If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?" "Under our proposed regulation, no," Steiner said, according to the New York Times. "We would tell the state that we need the manifest." Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

No. It automatically becomes law if Trump takes no action in 10 days. The pocket veto only happens Congress adjourns during the 10 day period, which I do not believe is likely to occur here.

The housing bill is generally despised by the YIMBY / abundance crew. Unfortunately that would be the Matt Mahan constituency of Clinton Democrats from the mid 1990s. Mahan got fewer votes than the potato pusher.
Anyway because the bill is fake and gay, of course it has "bipartisan" support from the fake party and the gay party. Like FISA aka "please pay us to plant dirt on MAGA some more". Posted by: gKWVE at June 25, 2026 01:20 PM (gKWVE) 42

>>>If Trump doesn't sign the bill within ten days, it is automatically vetoed. That's the so-called "pocket veto."
I don't think this is exactly true. He has 10 days to sign or veto. If he just sits on it, it becomes law, jast as if he signed it. The pocket veto is when he sits on it *and* Congress goes out of session, making it impossible for him to return it. Then, with no signature, the law dies. Since Congress never goes out of session any more, a pocket veto is no longer a thing. I could be wrong, but I think that is it. Posted by: No Name Today at June 25, 2026 01:28 PM (8mulE) 96

12> Screwing Banks with foreclosed properties they need to unload.
Banks are not real-estate management firms. They need to get the foreclosed homes off their ledgers. Institutional buyers are the vector that is well equipped to take liabilities, which are often in bad shape, and rehab/flip them. They have the deep pockets to get around financing, inspections, surveys, etc. There is always risk with those applying for an FHA to purchase a foreclosed home that often times is not move-in-ready. Removing a path for banks to unload foreclosed homes makes the more risk adverse institutions tighten up their eligibility and drives up the prices of homes to cover the heightened risks of taking on new mortgages.

I don't think this is exactly true. He has 10 days to sign or veto. If he just sits on it, it becomes law, jast as if he signed it.
The pocket veto is when he sits on it *and* Congress goes out of session, making it impossible for him to return it. Then, with no signature, the law dies. Since Congress never goes out of session any more, a pocket veto is no longer a thing. I could be wrong, but I think that is it.

In theory, yes. In practice, it will not stop a single investor from buying any home.
There are so many exceptions and easy work-arounds that there's no way the people who wrote this had any intention of actually stopping institutional investors from buying homes. Hell, a big exception is reportedly that institutional investors can buy any home they want, so long as they plan to rent it out! Are you fucking kidding me?

Posted by: runner at June 25, 2026 01:27 PM (GD0B3) _________ Rent controls worked great in NY ... for landlords. Sure, a few lucky renters who got in at the right time benefit. But the vast majority of renters do not, and they are the ones essentially subsidizing the lucky ones. "More rent control" is just lube to con the rubes into bending over.

I just wonder.... Has the Senate actually said they're in recess? If so, how does just having someone gavel in and out keep them in session? Then, if it does, do they actually have to do it in the Senate chambers?
If they must use the Senate chambers, send in the Marshals to block access, then announce recess appointments. Could it work? Posted by: OrangeEnt at June 25, 2026 01:33 PM (1Ff7Z) 127

I have been noting this for some time now, and pointing to that as the model for addressing “birthright citizenship”. Indians were granted Citizenship by the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and it was accepted that this fell under the Lawmaking powers of the Legislature. But Congress has never addressed the children of illegals born in this country. I would not be surprised at all to see SCOTUS reference this in their ruling, and say that this is part of the Legislstive powers, but that the Executive has no constitutional power to do this on his own by an EO.

125> Institutional buyers of property
After looking closer at the text, it says that a firm can't have more than a certain number in its portfolio. Serious institutional investors spread the risk around by having numerous LLCs so that suits against one "firm" doesn't jeopardize the entire umbrella entity's larger portfolio. So yes, this isn't even a speed bump, its more of an encouragement to institutional investors to divide up their properties into smaller "firms".

The housing and realtor lobby is arguably one of the most powerful special interest groups in the U.S.
Driven largely by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the industry outspends major corporate giants, routinely ranking as the number one overall lobbying spender in Washington, D.C. NAR frequently outspends organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, pouring tens of millions into both federal lobbying and nationwide election cycles. The Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) is one of the largest in the country. It takes a strictly bipartisan approach, directing funds equally to Democratic and Republican candidates who support real estate interests. The true reach extends to city halls, statehouses, and zoning boards. Significant local battles shape everything from property taxes to local development and tenant protections.

Posted by: Reforger at June 25, 2026 01:49 PM (mTPps) Yes, when either the House or the Senate are in enemy hands. That stops the president of the other party from using the power. But as far as doing it while your purported ally holds the presidency, I think that started with Trump. Posted by: No Name Today at June 25, 2026 01:51 PM (8mulE) 205
190 - and some friendly group sues in, say, TX, that it's not a law b/c Congress wasn't in session. - and gets a ruling that pro forma sessions are not "in session." Sadly, under the Constitution Congress is in session whenever it says it is in session. The Judicial branch has no jurisdiction to say otherwise.

167> What is the Housing Bill?
Its like the 55 MPH speedlimit. Do this thing you don't want to do or we starve you of funds. There are many communities, whether its a good policy or not, like their town just the way it is and don't want thousands of acres of land for datacenters or housing developments - the latter necessitating massive tax increases to underwrite the development of all infrastructure and social entities such as fire, police, school, courts, sanitation, infrastructure maintenance for the new neighbors. And their elected officials listen to their constituents - like they should. The Housing Bill is designed to bribe the city council to rubber stamp "affordable housing" development into existence at the expense of destroying the neighborhood's character and culture.

@SenTuberville 18h I did not vote for the ROAD to Housing Act because we are $39 TRILLION in debt. I’m all for making housing more affordable for American families. But expanding the already bloated @HUDgov is not the answer. Not to mention this bill writes a blank check to blue cities, which we all know will end up going to ILLEGALS, not American citizens.

Pretty much. The "housing bill" is just another big giveaway to the housing and real estate industries. It will not benefit a single actual buyer looking for a home. I mean, the Democraps voted for it. If that don't tell you the bill stinks to high heaven ....
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 25, 2026 01:49 PM (iFTx/) Real estate is poised to take a puke. Investment firms are holding huge holdings that are worth a fraction of the claimed actual market value. In the south and southwest, there are new built apartment complexes standing empty like they were owned by Evergrande. At the moment, in most markets that aren't absorbing NYC tax refugees, the market price of a new house is LOWER than the price of an existing house. The supposition is that the builders are really wanting to get that inventory off their hands fast before the market takes a puke. Posted by: Kindltot at June 25, 2026 01:54 PM (rbvCR) 221

So, I always did back of the envelope math to check to see whether I should save for a house. I'd look for something nice but smaller in the area, assume a 10% down-payment and check to see what it would be for the mortgage payment. Before it always worked out less than what I was paying for apartment rent, but you had to get that 10%.
I looked again here recently. The cheapest I could find fairly close to Lexington was 200k for a 14-1500 sq ft home built in... '57. I actually liked the look. Lots of wood. Privacy fenced backyard. Unfinished basement. Fine. Plugged the current Intrest rate and assumed a 20k down-payment. Roughly 2000 per month- which is a LOT more than apartment rent. That is fucked up.

Justice Sotomayor, in a scathing dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, said the ruling lets the Executive Branch "circumvent all these mandatory procedures by having U.S. immigration officers stand at the border and physically block noncitizens from setting a foot onto U.S. soil." That holds, she wrote, "even if the asylum seeker is certain to be persecuted, or killed, if she is turned away."

See also, how "touchdowns" work.
Posted by: t-bird at June 25, 2026 12:19 PM American football is derived from rugby. In order to score a try in rugby, the ball must be physically 'touched down' in the 'end zone'. The 'points after' kick is moved back parallel to the touch line (sideline) as far as the kicker desires. This motivates touching the ball down as close to the middle of the goal posts as possible. Rugby is a far superior game to American football. Posted by: Duncanthrax at June 25, 2026 12:27 PM (0sNs1) 96

AI sez about Haiti:
"The Post-War Boom: Between 1946 and 1956, tourism flourished under the stable administrations of Léon Dumarsais Estimé and Paul Eugene Magloire. The capital, Port-au-Prince, became a major cultural hub with a bustling waterfront tailored to international cruise ships. A Magnet for Celebrities: Celebrities, artists, and political figures flocked to Haiti for its distinct French/Creole culture, vibrant art scene, upscale hotels, and gambling. Famous visitors included Truman Capote, Mick Jagger, Muhammad Ali, and Bill and Hillary Clinton, who famously honeymooned there in 1975. The 1970s Peak: After a dip in the 1960s, tourism rebounded sharply in the 1970s due to a new international airport and improved U.S. relations. By the end of the decade, annual visitors peaked at around 150,000 to 300,000 (combining air and sea arrivals), making tourism Haiti's second-largest earner of foreign exchange." IDNKT!

One other thing that this decision helps blow up is a new legal concept that the rogue judges that are trying to invent - which is that "intent" is a valid legal concept in judging whether something is legal or not.
Trump may have the legal authority to do something, but if he is doing it for the Wrong Reasons, then you can still deny his authority - for example, claiming that he can't remove TPS status for Haitians, because he is doing it for racist reasons. It's a way of formalizing the legal concept that Democratic Presidents are allowed discretion in making decisions, and Trump is not.

Look at the 10k feet view of these:
The law says what it says, not what "feelings" wish it would say--the words written mean something; even when "that's the way it's always been done." Or, as they've put it: Our job is to read the law and rule on its Constitutionality--not opine on the policy and whether it's preferred or not. And I keep saying that's the trend of the Thomas Court. So all the cool kids on the right are saying that Roberts and ACB will F us on the birthright citizenship. But that doesn't fit with any of the rulings from the last few years ....

Iran can't "close" Hormuz. It can make statements that give pause to commercial shipping, already wary about entering or exiting the area if they don't have insurance on the ship and/or cargo. Or if the insurance is (likely) very high. Nobody's going to risk a multi-billion dollar VLCC if Iran's making noise. Especially if the crew is sketchy about the trip.

It's easier to pay the toll than worry about causing trouble, so most of the world will in fact just pay the toll (some apparently already have).

When you negotiate with the Iranians, you are buying a load of carpets in the bazaar and any change means screaming and an automatic renegotiation of the entire deal. This requires a different negotiation style. Posted by: Kindltot at June 25, 2026 12:54 PM (rbvCR) 220

And this case has big implication for the current lawless judge-made law of requiring ICE to release illegals out on bail.
I can't recall the whole argument but it's basically judges saying something like, "sure the statute was written to close a loophole that treated those who snuck in better than those who go through customs. But we don't like that and want illegals to get out on bond no matter where they're caught. So we read the limitation of eligibility for bond as for only those at the border to mean anyone who is caught by ICE anywhere." Right now, I think the 5th and the 8th say, "no bond for those who sneak in--the law clearly says what is says." And it's the 2nd or the 4th that's saying "if you sneak in, you can pinky swear to show at court if you get caught."

Court is likely to reason that since immigrants have been dropping babies here forever that are recognized defacto as citizens that only an Amendment can change that reality.
After all, are we really going to deport...expel....millions of people who were born here....that's not their fault. More troublesome are children who were sent here or made it here themselves. Ultimately it's a failure of Congress. Congress who because of the filibuster will not even try to fix the problem caused mostly by Hart Celler and LBJ. Posted by: torabora at June 25, 2026 01:29 PM (law4u) The Morning Rant![]() Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education. They became respected members of the professor class, and frankly, that professor class had a bias toward welcoming them in. That’s how Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked. Here they are. Smiling commies with their red stars. Totally accepted in the Obama network. Never forget, The Weatherman and 60s radicals all grew up wealthy. Ayer’s father was the CEO of Commonwealth Edison. They have trust funds and generational wealth to rely on. President FDR was the same. They won’t part with it, but they are happy to take yours. It took a couple of generations via taking over the public and private school system, but we have a lot of people out there who do not understand capitalism and think America is a racist country with a flawed founding. They are easily persuaded to communism, socialism, or whatever you want to call it. No amount of data can get them out of their confirmation bias. Well, there is one bit of data that will convince them of the evils of socialism, but that is the end game, when they are lined up against a wall and shot for being enemies of the state. That is the unavoidable result of the ignorance that is engulfing the West. As Marx himself said: When our turn comes, we shall make no excuse for the terror. So where will patriotic Democrats go, now that the hard left of their party is subsuming the rest of them? The center of the Democratic Party is gone. It's over for people like Senator Fetterman. There are no Danny Rostenkowskis, Scoop Jacksons, or Tip O' Neills. Rahm Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama's Chief of Staff. The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin's...the lust for power is all-encompassing, and mainstream Democrats will hold their noses and continue to vote for what can only end in Gulags and concentration camps and wholesale murder and death.

The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer of socialism that in and of itself is compatible with Islam.

From CMSNY.ORG
"The most recent report from the Gothamist sheds light on the vital presence of immigrants in New York City, revealing a city where nearly four in ten (38%) residents are from outside the United States, and a clear majority, 60%, are either immigrants or their children; this significantly contrasts with the national average of 27% immigrants, according to the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs." It's rather a shock that people who immigrated to this country hate the country, but that was the goal of the left. They've succeeded. This is what they want to happen to the rest of the country.

FREE SPEECH COALITION, INC., et al. v. PAXTON,

B. 1181 is subject to intermediate scrutiny. Pp. 470–495. (1) To determine whether a law that regulates speech violates the First Amendment, the Court considers both the nature of the burden imposed by the law and the nature of the speech at issue. Laws that target protected speech “based on its communicative content” “are pre- sumptively unconstitutional and may be justifed only if ” they satisfy strict scrutiny. Reed v.

And even the Republican overthrow can only go so far and that's with a miraculously enduring figure at the center. And even HE can't completely fuck over the establishment.
These smooth brained wetfags definitely can't. They are 100% blessed and sanctioned at the highest levels or they would be destroyed. This is the DNC move toward political relevance.

>>I think the older generation of Dems (Schumer, Carville etc) are for the most part not very smart. Their first instinct is for power and attention and they’re stuck in a tribalism mindset of us vs them… the GOP is so bad I gotta stick with my team plus my only viable path to continued power is to stick with my team no matter what.
They wanted power to make themselves comfortable while they play their lil' progressive policy games. The new ones want power for revolution. Before it was Justice Democrats, it was an org created by Bernie bros named something like Remake 538. It was completely erased after the Justice Democrats moniker was implemented, but the goal has always been to replace EVERYONE in Congress with one of their young radicals.

"The most recent report from the Gothamist sheds light on the vital presence of immigrants in New York City, revealing a city where nearly four in ten (38%) residents are from outside the United States, and a clear majority, 60%, are either immigrants or their children; this significantly contrasts with the national average of 27% immigrants, according to the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs."

"Normal" Democrat: 'Why are all the kids voting for radicals?'
Could it be because "normal Dems" have been loudly hating America, its history, its founding stock, 'whiteness,' heterosexuality, religion, and normality itself for the past two decades? Now suddenly "normal" Dems want to ostentatiously wave the flag on the 250th to show what great patriots they are. To distance themselves from the radicals they created.

Hunter's thoughts on the NYC election:
"I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led." -- Hunter Biden on X Posted by: Duncanthrax at June 25, 2026 11:21 AM (0sNs1) 93

"Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama's Chief of Staff." Yeah, he does, but - Brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel: Architect and key advisor of the Affordable Care Act. Prominent bioethicist, oncologist, and health policy expert at the University of Pennsylvania who served on the Biden-Harris Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board. Throughout the pandemic, his work heavily focused on vaccine distribution ethics, health equity, and a strategic transition to endemicity. Strongly advocates for equitable access to gender-affirming care for transgender individuals. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel's "Why I Hope to Die at 75" is a controversial 2014 essay arguing that living past age 75 often leads to a diminished quality of life. A senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. Current Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania and chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. AND the other brother, Ari Emanuel, officially became a billionaire, with his personal net worth crossing the $1 threshold.

We are going to be subjected to Candy Coated Communism for a long time to come. And probably a lot of very hateful sounding horseshit. More than usual. They have the umbrella now (magic!) to both gather their radicals and keep their base. One side says all the shit they've been dying to say out loud for years.

Yeah, it seems like it was somewhat performative, like a comfortable teen rebelling against daddy, knowing he/she will never be kicked out, disowned, inheritance lost, etc. It as "edgy" while still enjoying all the benefits of a stable, functioning normie America. You get the thrill of disruption without really paying the price. The new generation is different, partly because they accepted the rebellion 110%, not understanding there were limits so that comfort could be maintained. Nope, they are true believers - yes, the planet really is dying (and all the other hyperbole), so it's by any means necessary time, you guys! The other part is that there's now a lot of young foreigners in the mix who hate us, hate our country, and *don't want to maintain comfort**. They crave our discomfort, their aim is to end it permanently, and as one of Mamdani's acolytes has openly advocated: end western civilization. Posted by: Lizzy at June 25, 2026 11:27 AM (X8xt3) 123

The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because
...they're afraid their friends and social media personalities will call them evil Nazi racist CHUDs if they aren't 150% down for the socialist struggle. In fact, there are two main cohorts for the bulk supporters (not the rich elite that run them): 1- the bored AWFL who is comfortably bored, feels guilty for having it so well, and wants an easy, low-risk way to do something of "value". Slacktivism while keeping your money but getting to fly your queer flags and bumper stickers for free public validation 2- True lazy or losers. It's tough to make a decent living. More so if you're dumb and ugly. Instead of working harder, embrace your loserness, say it's a lifestyle choice, and it's why society oppresses you and makes you fail. Dems promise to give you a free life. The last group reminds me of Ephialtes from the movie 300. He couldn't accept a limited, but important, role in society, so he went to Xerxes who would let him do whatever and reward him, as long as he submitted.

Take a look at the demographic breakdown of the voters who went for the communist candidates in NYC including Mamdani. They didn't lead or convert anyone, they are part of a newly created demographic that includes over educated know nothings that have been indoctrinated for generations in our garbage schools and immigrants, lots of 3rd world immigrants. We allowed our public schools and universities to become radicalized and that's what they are teaching. And we've had years of mass immigration, legal and illegal, of people with no intention of assimilating. They tend to infest big cities and not just in blue states. One thing for damn sure, no matter how much power they gain none of them can govern any batter than Bernie Sanders. Posted by: JackStraw at June 25, 2026 11:31 AM (viF8m) 146

... the power of the nomenklatura will not be questioned Posted by: SMOD at June 25, 2026 11:30 AM (RHGPo) I believe the thought process here is, the Euro leadership think that when the people are all sufficiently poor enough, they won't be able to afford air travel. They can then rid the world of evil passenger aircraft and the rich leadership will be the only ones able to travel leaving only a need for Gulfstreams roaming the skies.

We're seeing Leftists ally with Muslims everywhere.
Muslims getting over 10% or so is the tipping point when allied with Leftists. Muslims turnout and vote as a block, as do Leftists. They're 15% in London and are over 10% in many English cities. They're not in the shires, and are only 6% of all Britain. In NYC they're over 9%, but only 1% for the entire USA (Jews are 2-3%). I've pointed out that NYC has odd local politics that exacerbate the effect of the Muslim/Leftist voting alliance. Which is why we're seeing Mamdami & Co getting so much attention because they now control NYC Media Central. There could be good in this, if it wakes up Americans to Turnout. For instance, I expect that Blakeman will take out Hochul for the NY Governorship. Lee Zeldin made a kamikaze run last time and nearly won. Posted by: Ignoramus at June 25, 2026 11:33 AM (dtajH) 155

Take a look at the demographic breakdown of the voters who went for the communist candidates in NYC including Mamdani. They didn't lead or convert anyone, they are part of a newly created demographic that includes over educated know nothings that have been indoctrinated for generations in our garbage schools and immigrants, lots of 3rd world immigrants.
We allowed our public schools and universities to become radicalized and that's what they are teaching. And we've had years of mass immigration, legal and illegal, of people with no intention of assimilating. They tend to infest big cities and not just in blue states.

If you crave mental clarity and want to cut through the confused psychological operations being foisted upon you by malefactors who enjoy messing with you, I will ALWAYS tell you what's actually going on. (When I know which certainly isn't always.)
The Hunter post spells out the op pretty well. He's being deployed as a "truth teller" but what he's really doing is using his trusted name (my word as a Biden) to massage the narrative for the normies and everyone else. And the narrative for now is - they had Trump, now WE have this, and they are therefore *automatically* equivalent. Basically acting like their harbored extremism is some kind of mirror or reaction, when really it's just a new operation, and the only plausible direction they could go in once Trump yoinked the political center and gave them no "old" place to push back. Trump used the truth to take over the political scene. They are using their same old tired deranged lies but now amplified. And claiming that if it's the same *volume* as Trump it must therefore contain the same substance. And it will work on a lot of people. But Trump is still around - and will have an effective response at some point. Posted by: ... at June 25, 2026 11:38 AM (BpOXo) 176

Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education.
--------------- Christopher Rufo makes the same salient point in his last book "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything." The American Marxist cultural revolution of the '60s and '70s failed because they couldn't seize the means of PHYSICAL production. They then "retooled and seized upon" Herbert Marcuse's strategy of taking over all the institutions beginning with the academy. Now they've succeeded because they have effectively seized the means of KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, and COMMUNICATIONS production. Posted by: ShainS at June 25, 2026 11:46 AM (1RbP0) 214

Posted by: gp at June 25, 2026 11:04 AM (Jr5Lq) Buckminster Fuller (the geodesic dome guy) had an answer for that.

I don't need any stagehands." "Gotta hire 'em. No stagehands, no lecture." So he called up a music store, rented a couple of grand pianos, and had them delivered to the venue. Then, throughout his entire lecture, he'd stop and say "Now, I want that piano over there, and *that* piano over *there*.

Venezuela Desk
@venezueladesk Jun 24 Replying to @LatamData The FT reports that Caracas is preparing to disclose total debt of roughly USD 240 billion, a figure materially higher than the market's working range of USD 150 billion to 200 billion and one that would make this the largest sovereign restructuring on record, eclipsing the Greek default of 2012 and its USD 200 billion. The number is to be put to creditors in the coming weeks, alongside a macroeconomic framework due later this month that will size the battered economy near USD 100 billion, down from about USD 370 billion in 2012, which places the debt at something above 200 percent of output.

It's interesting to watch the slow collapse of institutions that were captured.
I sorted today's mail and found an "invitation" to support my alma mater by joining its life insurance group. It's the fifth mailing this month for a fundraising, whether sales or alumni events. A few years ago, a Jewish classmate told me flat out that she won't support a nest of anti-semitism. The younger alumni, particularly those from overseas, don't donate unless there's a significant quid pro quo. Admission scandals and Chinese students smuggling in bioweapons have the old-timers dropping support and changing their wills. Posted by: NaughtyPine at June 25, 2026 12:22 PM (38i2N) 344

In NYC, be a steamfitter. They still use municipal steam to run and heat stuff. I'd bet that job pays big bucks. Major cheddar.
Posted by: gp ---- Looked it up. $113.85, HR charged (union dues, IRA contribution, etc included) , $61.80 regular time paid. Min 8 hrs on any day show up. Then add in all the overtime. Anything over 8 hrs daily, over 40 hrs per week. Overtime on ANY holiday, sometimes paid even without working,the double and triple time for actually working on the holiday. Double time on overtime, triple time when it goes over 2 hours daily over over 4 hours weekly. Accumulated: the daily charge is independent of the weekly, and vice versa. The union keeps the membership down, so that OT is almost guaranteed. I had a college classmate who's father had been a city steam fitter along with his uncle. His father passed when he was in high school. His uncle said, as a "deceased legacy" he could get him into the union and the city job. Five years after graduation we were talking and he said that he did the calculations, and he would never, short of starting a company, pass that total income as an engineer.

Two Women in a Landscape is rendered with de Kooning’s signature bold brushstrokes where ribbons of sensuously applied paint in fleshy, honied tones of pale blush and orange give rise to the two human figures. They appear to be in a lush landscape, defined through de Kooning’s mastery of greens and yellows that create a distinct fore-ground

"In September 2015, David Geffen sold De Kooning's oil painting Interchange to hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin for about $300 million, the highest price paid for a painting at the time. It held the record until November 15, 2017, when the Leonardo da Vinci Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million at Christie's in New York."

Well past 100....check.
kind of .... art. From Deadline. Animated series ViQueens. Apparently not alphabet. Just girllllll power. EXCLUSIVE: Dutch-Norwegian director Zwart Arbeid gave a sneak peek of his upcoming animated feature ViQueens in a masterclass at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Thursday, and Deadline can share the teaser exclusively too. Co-starring Ella Purnell and Rita Ora in the voice cast, with a special appearance by global soccer superstar Erling Haaland, the adventure-comedy follows fearless Viking girls Ingrid and Hedvig as they defy tradition to return a stowaway boy to China. Their journey spans icy fjords, Byzantine intrigue, and the fabled Silk Road, blending Viking grit with ancient Chinese wisdom, unexpected alliances, and a touch of magic.

SCOTUS ruling:
Next up is Mullin v. Al Otro Lado. The vote is 6-3. This case challenges the federal government’s policy of systematically turning back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.

I have a bit of an issue with the term "closing" the Hormuz. It's never "closed." It IS, sometimes, risky to traverse. I've always contended that the commercial shipping industry's aversion for risk is what we're really discussing.
A couple of Florida rednecks hell bent on motoring through in a fast boat wouldn't think twice about running Iran's silly blockade. But a multi-billion dollar VLCC without insurance and a skittish crew isn't going to even think about it. Every time someone in Iran runs their mouth about the Hormuz being "closed" we oughta' drop 20 2000lb bombs on 20 of their mosques. And then tell them to shut the fuck up.

The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.

We have the final decision, in Mullin v. Doe
It is 6-3. Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson. This case is a challenge to the decision by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status (a program that allows recipients to remain in the US and work if they cannot return safely to their own countries) for Syrian and Haitian nationals. The court holds that the Syrian and Haitian nationals are not "entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation." The Supreme Court first holds that courts cannot review the Haitian and Syrian nationals' non-constitutional claims, because the TPS statute bars judicial review.

Trump is heading to Ankara in a week or two, and a headline in a Turkish outlet says that Trump told Erdogan he is attending Nato's Ankara summit 'just for him'. US sources say he’s bringing a deal to sell Erdogan all the advanced aircraft engines and F-35’s he is asking for. Israel is unhappy, but who cares. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 25, 2026 10:25 AM (yiEEK) 217
The court next holds that the Haitian nationals' constitutional claim, that the decision to terminate TPS status for Haiti was based on racial discrimination, "will likely fail."

That's two decisions from SCOTUS today that are "the law means what it says."
1st, "arrives in" means actually "in" the United States, not at or near the border or a port of entry. Meaning asylum seekers can be turned back, we are not required to grant them entry and process--or even consider--their asylum claim. 2nd, TPS, when the law says no judicial review, it means no judicial review.

haha Alito owns the Haitians. They claim Trump is racially discriminating against them and at the same time claim Trump opposes all TPS programs:
"The Haitian nationals' argument on the constitutional claim, Alito writes, is undermined by another one of its arguments -- "that the current administration, which has terminated every TPS designation that has come up for renewal, simply opposes the TPS program, at least as it has been implemented in the past.""

(76.5 x 88.9 cm.) Painted circa 1976. In part, "Willem de Kooning’s depictions of women are among the most significant works of the Post-War period. De Kooning worked in the space between abstraction and figuration, allowing the two to flow into one another. His nonobjective works reference the human body in their arcs and rhythms, and his figural works slip into abstract lines and forms. The present work, Two Women in a Landscape, is a prime example of the artist’s masterful depiction of classical subject matter – both the female nude and landscapes – entwined with characteristic vibrancy and innovation." AI Overview: The Environment: Reflects de Kooning's fascination with Long Island's East End, capturing an atmospheric blend of divine femininity and "mother earth" metaphors. (wut?) De Kooning returned to the motif of women in outdoor settings throughout his career. See Willem de Kooning’s 1950s "Woman" series. 🧻 🤨 Would pass hanging. Thank you.

"The Avengers" with Steed and Peele on Prime. The episode is "Who's Who???" where an evil German scientist uses his device to transplant the minds of the villains into our heroes. They actually had an "Important Announcement" where they summarized the plot for people just coming in. Explicitly telling them that their minds have been swapped. These people are actually Steed and Peele. And the villains actually are in Peele and Steed's bodies. That was just funny. And done in an amusing way too.

The WNBA is missing a huge and profitable bet with Caitlin Collins, one that could increase their attendance and viewership by a factor 10, easily!
Imagine this: let Caitlin continue to play as usual, but hire on a group of Polish Euro-league players to be her teammates. Tell each of them they have to put a blonde wig on and call themselves "Mary", that'll please the trans crowd. Her job will be just to shoot; their job will be to punch anyone on the other team who tries to bother her in the mouth. Expect 2 - 3 bench clearing brawls each game, so make sure and have a whole line of 6'6" Polish goons on the bench ready and waiting for it. They can call their team the "White Demons". I tell ya, it works for hockey, it worked for roller derby, the WNBA will become the most watched sports network in the world! Posted by: Tom Servo at June 25, 2026 10:40 AM (edUvp) 264

MJ got calls late in his career but in the late 80s during the Pistons “Jordan rules” era that Pistons Bad Boys team pummeled the crap out of MJ and it worked… the mid-90s Knicks did the same thing to MJ and it almost worked. That was back when to play in the NBA would had to put on your big boy pants. It was rough just ask Bill Laimbeer Posted by: LinusVanPelt at June 25, 2026 10:41 AM (YetvJ) This. Jordan got pummeled early in his career. If you want to blame anyone for how Jordan "got away with things," blame the officials and the league. THEY'RE the ones that stopped calling things. Jordan just got away with what they let him. However, NOTHING Jordan did and got away with compares to what LeBitch gets away with on a daily basis.

MJ didn't win a championship until 91 when Bird and Johnson were basically done and Detroit broke up. That's when the NBA really changed what was allowed on offense. The cross over carry makes it almost impossible to defend. And that extra step or half step makes it impossible to defend in the post. Posted by: polynikes at June 25, 2026 10:47 AM (GP8V/) 282

In my opinion, we are confronted here with something of a situation. Otherwise, I would not have presumed to take up your time. Once again, it concerns the case of Caitlin C.
We know we don't want anything extraordinary to happen to Caitlin. We've already agreed on that. No accidents, nothing unnatural. The league was created to demonstrate the futility of individual effort. And the league must do its work. The Energy Corporation has done all it can, and if a champion defeats the meaning for which the league was designed, then she must lose. I hope you agree with my reasoning.

The WNBA was created by its owners and financiers (you know who they are) to promote degeneracy and to masculinize females in an effort to subvert American women from carrying out their God-given duty of marrying and reproducing.
Much like OnlyFans (also owned by the same group of people), it's intended to gradually deteriorate American society through reduced birth rates, racial mixing and promoting homosexuality. For the most part, it's working. America's replacement rate among native born citizens is cratering. Posted by: Kalergi at June 25, 2026 10:56 AM (T83hd) 314

Venezuela was rocked by its strongest earthquakes in over a century on Wednesday afternoon — causing widespread destruction in the capital of Caracas and fears of as many as 100,000 casualties.Closer to home it looks as if a couple of political earthquakes are shaking up the establishments of both parties. On the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post, both CBD and i discussed the ramifications locally in NYC and nationally with the victory of Mad Mamdani minions who are equally insane and tyrannical in their views. Repulsive and Gorgon-esque as James Carville is, he still remains as a key representative and thought leader such as the case may be of the mainstream Democrat party. And he is having massive conniption fits over the primary election in New York. Carville freaked out at the results. He noted that Avila Chevalier, who was born to Dominican immigrants, once said white people should not be in interracial marriages. “Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I’m sorry. I’m just not. And I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word: schism. I really do. Everybody’s always said, ‘No, no. We’re a coalition. We’re a big tent. And there’s just some sh*t I can’t be in the same tent with.” Carville then insisted that despite winning their Democratic primaries, “these people are not Democrats.” He then suggested that establishment Democrats “negotiate the terms of a schism” with democratic socialists in the party.Oh, James, old boy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are most definitely in the same party as this filthy evil slag. Meh, this would be amusing if it weren't so disgusting. The descriptor of "Far-Left" for some Democrats is the same as "Radical" for Muslims. It's a redundancy. It's a naked attempt to whitewash and minimize the core beliefs and values of each which are self-evident through their actions over a long and bloody history. A history of causing a civil war to preserve slavery, and then to repress the freed slaves for over 100 years and create one of the most massive welfare states to keep them enslaved for your political gain at the cost of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of wasted lives. And when you've genocided the hell out of your base, the only thing left is to throw open the borders and register third world wetback criminals by the millions as Democrats and steal the elections you still can't win legitimately. Carville, you and yours have done all you could to hack away at the Constitution and individual liberty in order to create a gargantuan centralized bureaucracy where your fellow travelers are at the controls generationally and in perpetuity. The views of Wilson and FDR are crystal clear in dismantling America as founded in service of that fever dream of absolute power. And the disparate groups in your big tent share one thing in common — an incandescent hatred for this country, its citizens, history, heritage and western Judeo-Christian civilization, morality and sanity, and so for Carville and others of his ilk to be freaking out over what happened in NYC, where the hell was he when Bernie Sanders was elected to the Senate over and over again on a platform of naked in-your-face communism which is exactly what got elected in NYC and lookie here what's happening in California, surprise surprise! The Mamdani regime in New York City has already been making noises about moving on this sort of thing, and now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups’. This is fundamentally no different than politicians using eminent domain to seize property and transfer it to their political allies who then fund their political campaigns. . . . . . Socialist governments create pressure on landlords through every possible means. As prices rise and housing stock drops, creating a ‘housing crisis’, they cite the homeless vagrants as evidence that there is a serious threat and justify property seizures. We’re now in stage 3 of their plan. Stay tuned for stage 4.You know what else has a "stage 4?" Incurable cancer. As we also noted on the podcast, this bit of very positive news. The Prairieland case in Texas is actually worth celebrating because it’s one of the few times the feds went after an Antifa-linked group with real teeth, leading to the first federal terrorism-related convictions and sentencing of individuals affiliated with Antifa in U.S. history. For once, the material support law was used, and it worked. But at the same time, it’s nowhere near enough, and that’s the frustrating part. President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization back in September 2025. That was supposed to mean something. Americans were supposed to see mass action against the violent extremists terrorizing our country. But months later, Prairieland stands out as almost the only case where they brought terrorist charges and took a group to trial over it. Think about what the domestic terrorism definition actually says. It covers acts that are dangerous to human life, break criminal laws, and look like they’re meant to intimidate civilians, push the government to change policy through fear, or mess with government functions through destruction or attacks. The Prairieland case is not the only time Antifa planned an attack meant to intimidate and cause mass destruction. It’s not even the first time that the violent group has acted to shut down federal immigration enforcement.And Antifa is the unofficial (wink-wink) Democrat/Leftist brownshirt goon squad that take to the streets to commit political terrorism with the protection of Democrat politicians and worse Judges, Attorneys General and other corrupted appendages of our justice system to further their collective aims at societal dissolution and the accrual of absolute power. Let's hope they all rot in prison and that God-forbid a future Democrat president does not set them free. Have a good day,

A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone. ---NEWS--- The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence.

Everybody’s always said, ‘No, no. We’re a coalition. We’re a big tent. And there’s just some sh*t I can’t be in the same tent with.” Carville then insisted that despite winning their Democratic primaries, “these people are not Democrats.” He then suggested that establishment Democrats “negotiate the terms of a schism” with democratic socialists in the party.
I mean, the Democrat Party has always been about fun stuff, deviant sex, stealing from the slightly richer, sex with kids, drugs, sex with farm animals, selling the country to China and muslims, sex with household appliances. And now some people want to limit our sexual choices?

“Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I’m sorry. I’m just not. And I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word: schism. I really do.

Apparently, Carville hasn't seen the 1000mph freight train that has been headed straight toward his vile party. Funny, I could see it coming for years. Maybe if he didn't spend so much time frothing, foaming at the mouth and yelling at the sky at Republicans, he would've noticed what's been happening at lightening speed within his own sickening political party?

I think there's going to be more "main stream" Democrats voicing their displeasure at the Democratic Socialists for letting everyone know just how insane the party has gotten.

James Carville…. He’s been around for decades now and my take on him is he’s a mercenary without any strong ideological anchor. He’s been paid by the Dems forever so he’s on that team no matter what.. tribalism. He wants him team to win because that’s where his $$ came from… even if he doesn’t like his teammates. Although it’s really not like or dislike for him it’s just “I want the team that’s paying me to be the winning team”… he’s a mercenary… not a compliment

Karmelo Anthony’s New Appeal Strategy Takes Aim At His Own Inner Circle
“Y’all non lawyers can argue about if he were guilty or not,” Moore continued. “Most real lawyers realize this was a punishment case. With that being the case, you simply don’t run around going on a press tour touting a false narrative. I’m pissed.” ------------ So it would appear as though his appeal team is not going to try and overturn the conviction but, rather, argue that the punishment was too high and was driven by the actions of people other than the murderer.

For the first time in decades the Democrats are not in lock step. I figure they'll all still vote against normalcy, but some of the truly far left shit is likely to be a bit less sure.

You realize that Congress is most upset at Trump because of his interference in their grift. "Don't let a crisis go to waste" and a "Hell, its only paper money" attitude results in a Clintonesque Haitian Relief Program, or a Iraqi Oil For Food Program. The attempt to re-prime the graft sluice through the so-called "Housing Bill" was thwarted by Trump's insistence on the SAA. There are Democrat "elections" to buy.

BP-157 and TD-500 JUST the BP one first helped a little. the stack? he doesn't even want to go to the PRP doc appointment (he will anyway after waiting this long to get in!). I recommended it to a nurse friend of mine with chronic back pain. she actually got her docs to inject (the best way to get the peptides for pain). nothing - NOTHING - was helping her pain. she's better! she loves me now : ) Posted by: Black Orchid (j+aD2) at June 25, 2026 08:33 AM (j+aD2) 102

The Lebron James era of BBall has seen the largest erosion of fan viewership.
It is my belief that LeBitch James should be held out of the Hall of Fame, despite his 'record setting career' because of the damage he's done to the game with his constant whining and flopping. He didn't invent it. That dubious distinction goes to Tim Duncan, the father of the NBA flop and whine. However, LeBitch has perfected it. The NBA actually has a rule on the books that says excessive flopping, called 'embellishment,' is a foul. LeBitch is the last player, actually, to be called for it. That was YEARS ago. The fact that the commissioner thinks LeBitch is a god and wants to have his baby, the rule has basically been removed from the book. China FTW, baby.

Also cannot discount fraud in these elections to help create a very obvious scripted narrative.
This narrative that there is this huge revolutionary backlash in a dying dwindling party. There may be - and the door seems well and truly open to it - the only problem with that theory is - the party has been extreme all along, and it's not a revolution but a display. The Democrats as constituted prior, have NOTHING to combat Trump's MAGA turn of the country. They tried. So they have gone down a very predictable route.

In a way, I'm reminded of Covid. Trump was dead-right in his earliest statements about China and his tough stance. But then he allowed Fauci and Binx to hijack the entire story and presentation.

I believe this is the DNC's "answer" to MAGA. They need to show they aren't weak. They need to make Trump and his message seem like old and establishment and boring and them like fresh new change, when it is anything but that. When *he* is the one that busted the establishment. When they ARE the establishment, that is knocked but not dead.
Expect to be subjected to a ton of Candy Coated Communism this next couple years. That is what they will be selling and it will work a lot better than some here imagine. I just hope Trump is around to take the air out of all of it. If I see what they are doing there is no doubt in my mind that he does. He will wait for his moment and defang it all. The standard R's will be useless against these people. Because they don't understand what the Left is or how they fight. Or they're just complicit.

The Karmello verdict summary:
The killing happened because Karmello is a white hating ghetto rat, the child of ghetto rats. The family was given donations because online leftist idiots think it’s cool to throw money at ghetto rats. The money was all wasted on booze and bling because the parents are ghetto rats. Because there was no money left, a prominent Dallas attorney volunteered to do it for free, which meant that he thought that it would be great cheap advertising for him and his firm. Since this attorney was only doing it for the publicity, he ran a “defense” designed to give him, personally, the most online interviews and media attention. There was no big conspiracy needed - everyone who was supposed to be on Karmello’s side treated him like a disposable diaper for their own personal profit. And they’re still laughing about it.

Jeffries has always seemed to be Pelosi's creature, not a leader that has achieved, but appointed. Posted by: Auspex New York and California are the core of the current Dem party elections wise and the tech/hollywood and finance industry are some of the Dems longest and most devoted funders. I think Jeffries was intended to bring in the third leg which is Clyburn's network but the person that they picked to be the next Obama is really Temu Obama.

Basically nil magnetosphere, thin atmosphere (less than 1% of Earth's) that's leaking out into space...and Moons, one so close that one day it will crash into the surface of the planet (okay, that'll be millions of years yet)... Next is the distance from Earth. It'd be a one-way trip for any vessel, with hopes that that vessel would survive the trip and re-entry into the Martian atmosphere.

I've seen some Caitlan Clark videos and she looks like a (very short) NBA caliber player versus a bunch of HS kids. The unfortunate part though is the other teams then spend a lot of effort trying to injure her.
She does have an enforcer on her team named Sophie Cunningham and the amusing part is Sophie is a beautiful woman - not at all how you would expect an enforcer to look especially in the WNBA. I suspect if Caitlan had her looks she'd been in every ad for women's stuff in America. Posted by: 18-1 at June 25, 2026 09:35 AM (sKqQm) 272

Traditionally societies put a lot of effort around regulating sex and pointing it in specific ways. This tells you it is something societies that do regulate sex get a positive outcome from it. The solutions are different from modern Christian monogamy to Islamic warfare for sex slaves but the fact all these societies see it as something important is a tell.

Higgins or Andy Ogle? Why has Israel's right to exist even entered (democratic) politics? Unity is what's needed to win.
>New3lv: Mamdani-backed House candidate's deleted posts called for abolishing police, borders, The National News Desk, Tue, June 2, 2026 WASHINGTON (TNND) — Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate whom New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed, deleted a previous Twitter account in which she posted calls for abolishing police, borders, and prisons, in addition to seizing private property, nationalizing major industries, and claiming Israel doesn't exist. Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a New York City public defender’s office and a doctoral student, is challenging Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the June 23 primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, CNN reported Monday. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine saved more than 3,600 tweets from Avila Chevalier’s account between 2018–2022, but it’s unclear when the account was deleted. (Much more followed. Reading ALL suggested.) But why is it necessary for Carville to isolate one comment about race reportedly made by Chevalier in the past?

It's another cover.
>The Haitian Times, Anti-Haitian bias in Dominican political circles laid bare in NY congressional race As Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemns “Haitian” being used as a slur, an Upper Manhattan race exposes old racial tensions rooted in Hispaniola, the island Dominicans and Haitians share. Published June 23, 2026 Overview: A heated congressional race in New York is surfacing long-standing anti-Haitian and anti-Black tensions in some Dominican spaces after a candidate’s identity became a political attack line. AND something else that erupted in the city yesterday: 👉NBC News, NYC coffee shop tells Rep. Dan Goldman he’s not welcome over his pro-Israel views Goldman told NBC News he was shocked by the coffee shop’s post on social media “because the interaction in the shop could not have been nicer.” Can you imagine?!! Carville doesn't give a rat's a** Darializa Avila Chevalier doesn't like White women with Black men, probably the least troublesome of her alleged comments. He cares about putting 25 new US Reps into the House and that Hakeem Jeffries isn't damaged. The War Room is redirecting the new breed & press at MAGA for the win. Period. imho Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 25, 2026 10:08 AM (NFX2v) 280
Also above, "...now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups.’

Greetings and good morning one and all. It's a gorgeous day out here in the GPROMD. I'm going to be at the airport in a few hours to go see my folks for the weekend. And I have a feeling part of the trip will be spent helping my mom reach a human being with certain companies.

Never wanted to live in the midwest. After a visit to the Fed Ammo facility in Anoka, that was *it* for me, LOL. They had "severe weather shelter" in the basement. No thanks!
Posted by: JQ at June 25, 2026 *** I'd prefer the Mountain West too. But I'm not seeing anything in my price range. The Californians have driven up the prices, I guess. At least the MW *has* shelters. Da Swamp used to have hurricane shelters, but not any more: All you can do is flee. Which I am doing, permanently.

The furry thugs are doing well. Big black Stirling was sleeping with me, as he often does, but did not wake me up early. When I got up, little Dagny was waiting for water from the bathroom tap. She has to compete with her big brother for that -- even though they have a perfectly good and clean water fountain in the kitchen.
Now he's chasing her around. He thinks it's fun, she does not -- I've heard her growling at him. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 25, 2026 05:25 AM (wzUl9) 43

JQ, I don't know if you heard, but I actually put in an offer in May on a 2BR/1BA bungalow I loved. The inspection revealed it would need close to $30K of work (termite damage to the garage, electrics, and to replace a 35-year-old A/C). So I passed. Another, more recently, checked all my boxes, but was within a block of a low-income and Section 8 development. Pass again.
I remain hopeful and check Realtor every day! Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 25, 2026 05:29 AM (wzUl9) 45

Someone here suggested that more properties may be available in fall and winter, because families buy less often then -- they don't want to disrupt the kids' schooling -- and I'd have less competition for a property that I like.

Sometimes you have to get creative changing spark plugs, like going thru a wheel well, or using a hole saw to go thru the firewall. Lifting the engine up off the motor mounts helps sometimes.
Pulling the intake may mean draining the coolant too, so if you are going to do it, it's a good time for new coolant. Posted by: fd at June 25, 2026 06:57 AM (MWfyi) 89

I have no idea how we got so much stuff. But you hit something that you make the decision to throw out or otherwise get rid of, and it breaches a firewall. After that thing - whatever it is - it gets easier. Posted by: blaster at June 25, 2026 07:33 AM (NlEaG) 122

Posted by: San Franpsycho at June 25, 2026 07:37 AM (mWKAz) Wednesday Night ONT - June 24, 2026 [TRex] Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will reading the content earn you free Triscuits? No. Will it entertain and inform while you eat your Triscuits? Perhaps. Only one way to find out. [Top photo: Carla Manneh]![]() A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country, and her owners are asking for the public's help to bring her home. The Real County Animal Rescue-Shelter posted on social media Monday that Cedar Hollow Ranch is searching for "Gracie," a missing giraffe last seen west of Leakey. According to the post, Gracie has rounded ears and was recently spotted on a game camera in the area. Her owner is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Gracie's capture and safe return.Is it really that difficult to spot a giraffe? They're tall and don't look like anything else. Are there herds of giraffe in Texas and this one blends in? Maybe Texas giraffes are more skilled in the art of camouflage than the average giraffe. ![]() We rarely describe our products as essential or practical, but this Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery is both! You get eight stalks of 1-1/4" tall, soft vinyl celery. During the day, you'll enjoy the reminder of celery superiority, but at night, this celery really shines. It glows in the dark! And, just for clarity's sake, the celery "stalk" officially refers to the whole bunch of celery, each piece you pull off is referred to as a celery rib. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no truth to the rumor that TRex is working as assistant to the assistant's assistant coach for the US World Cup soccer team.

Working for 5yrs in an ED/Trauma unit made me think this way.

I don't watch the games I watch the fan's youtubes.

"A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country…"
Just a short hop to Oklahoma. We were on the watch. Wild animal preserves and such like do leak critters now and then. Kangaroos. Tigers. Always amusing, in a "hope they don't eat me" value of amusing. One of my favorite stories was a few years ago, an older Oklahoma feller is driving along at night on a rural road, when he suddenly shouts to his wife, "ELEPHANT!" I can imagine recognizing such an unexpected beast, even reacting in time not to hit it (as we're used to dodging deer or loose cattle or horses), but I think I'd need a several seconds of processing time to be able to verbally identify it. "Looky that, honey! Don't that look like one o' them gee-raffs blocking the road…?" 💥crash!💥 Posted by: mindful webworker - is that a rhino or a hippo? CrAsH at June 24, 2026 10:18 PM (Is2cY) 47

T-Rex...I happen to like Eye of the Tiger and thank you for the music.
My husband and I have found the most horrible, idiotic, nauseating series to watch called Sweet Magnolias. It wins in all categories of very bad cinema. This should tell you how bad it is (even worse than Virgin River) for dialogue and acting and make up. We mock them and blow through the ghey parts that make us gag. Because, you see, there is a gay couple, of course there is.Plus 3 married couples who always have problems and idiotic dialogue of "unpacking problems" or a tequila night where the women "pour it out." One woman, bless her, is the size of a tank. And their make up is not good at all. Have mercy! Another woman has the teeth of a horse and a fake "refined" Southern drawl we mock a whole lot. She's probably our favorite and has about 5 hairstyles per show. She just got married and then sang to her groom at the reception to our glee. My husband calls them the Fagnolias vs Magnolias. We are not even sure why we subject ourselves to this punishment, yet we do. It is very bad and if renewed I do believe it is a sign of end times.

My brother had a D8 CAT - think his was a few years older than the one in the video. It used a cable pulley to raise & lower the blade instead of hydraulics. Essentially, the weight of the blade was more than sufficient to push it as deep into the ground as you wanted.. I found that astounding. Also, the starter motor was a 2 cylinder gas engine... significantly larger than what you'd find on a lawn mower. Pure awesomeness

I expect Trump to push and highlight a very big assistance effort for Venezuela due to the earthquake (and, looking at the structural damage, the after-shocks that will probably bring down still more buildings, though presumably already emptied of people). We are the biggest and best at disaster relief (a part of the former USAID - obviously one doing what the public thought it was doing - that few knew or know about).
Israel has one of the best search/rescue capabilities for earthquake situations (including canines). Expect them to be on the ground there quickly too. Decent quake off Ifate prefecture in Tohoku, Japan (northern Honshu), but so far no damage or serious tsunami reports. Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2026 10:24 PM (U/Byj) 65

Haven't been in a tornado but hurricanes are fairly common around here. Fortunately, they usually have lost most of their power by the time the get to this area. Still, no joke. Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if.

Problem with earthquakes is your home is probably now broken. It can fall down around your ears maybe not during the quake - probably not during the quake - but at any time over the next few weeks. You have to call in someone to fix all the cracks but that someone is likely working on important city buildings first.

Decent quake off Ifate prefecture in Tohoku, Japan (northern Honshu), but so far no damage or serious tsunami reports.
Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2026 10:24 PM (U/Byj) ****************** I have an unscientific theory of waiting after a big one somewhere, for a big one on the opposite side of the world. So far it holds true as the plates settle or whatnot. The largest I've been in was a 6 at 7am when we were still in bed. Instead of staying in bed, on abdomens with pillows over our heads, we ran to the landing and watched the chandelier swing. Not good. I figure we'd be found two floors down in the basement like a couple after Pompeii. My first, in college, was over a 5 and I was in a basement apt alone. In the kitchen I felt like I was on a ship and thought, "This is weird, I have had no beers to get the spins." Noted the electric clock cord swaying. The house was 100yrs old and I heard walls creaking. With every earthquake there is a boom before you feel it. Then a bit of sort of vertigo. Called my friend who verified an earthquake and neither of us knew what to do, being from MS. At the time you were supposed to stand in a doorway, which I think is old news now.

That combine thread is going to be a sad one. Every modern one is the size of my field. They'd already started, 50 years ago, having demolition derbies in Iowa and Nebraska with the 'normal' ones I would see working in the fields when I was young. Now, the spare parts from those are about used up, and quite a few people are hobby-farming on plots just the right size for them.
The pony motor starters on Cats had megaphones instead of mufflers; on a cold morning you could hear them yowl from a mile away, and they had to warm up and really scream to turn all that mass over. The Sixty models started another way: there was a deep hole in the flywheel, exposed of course, into which you fitted a steel bar about six feet long. Walk her up onto top dead center, preheat the glow plugs, prime, and yank that sucker for all you're worth. If it fired, it flung the bar out, sometimes 20, 30 feet away. Heads up. And beller, O Jesus. Once you had one running, you did not shut it down. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at June 24, 2026 11:11 PM (zdLoL) 168

I did some mowing in the yard today, then fired up the tractor and used it to move some objects in the yard that needed to be mowed under. One such was an old grain auger. It's on wheels, and the low side rests on the ground. So I put the loader bucket under the low end, picked it up, and trundled it in a right-angled turn, so I could mow where it had been sitting. Plop! A bird's nest fell out of the top end, along with two half-grown blackbird fledglings. They hopped around on the grass, but were apparently a few days short of being airworthy.

Men and women are tough in different ways. I firmly believe women have a higher physical pain threshold than men. I believe men are tougher psychologically.

Gimme earthquakes over tornadoes and/or hurricanes any day. California may be Mother Nature's Etch-A-Sketch but we don't have "earthquake season." We do pay attention tow hat's underneath our house's lot: solid Franciscan sandstone. Which doesn't shake like the bay fill underneath our first home, which shook like hell during the quake of '89. Haven't felt many in our current location. DH got the alert for the (supposed) 6.0 quake that was about 130 miles north of us. Turned out to be a 5.6 which is slightly strong but not considered to be "severe" by our standards. They need to tune that alert system, which is always Crying Wolf. It was so far away we didn't even feel it. For judgement purposes, a quake has to be at least a 4.0 to be positively felt and make any sort of impression.

Women protect. And soothe and nurture. Posted by: nurse ratched. at June 25, 2026 12:12 AM (A5RD0) There is so much variation in people; I was one who always felt calmer in a dangerous emergency situations; it was a comfort to have no doubts, to know exactly what to because it was an imperative. But I have been around men who were smart, seemed like any other; but when an emergency strikes they fall to pieces and can do nothing.

Talked to several folks who were on the road during the big Loma Prieta quake. Almost as one, everyone slowed down and pulled over to the side of the freeway or road, thinking they had a flat tire. As soon as they saw the light standards swaying, they knew it was an earthquake. Back then, we'd turn the radio on and tune into the local talk show. People would call in and describe what they felt; base don that, we'd figure out where the epicenter was and get an idea of the magnitude. That was pre-USGA online earthquake map.

Orson, Bukele of El Salvador has already publicly announced resources standing by to go help. I am sure as you say that others will follow. Including Mexico, which has some substantial earthquake response resources, though is not in the political category you mentioned.
Note that the US usually responds to humanitarian disasters regardless of the political situation. And in most cases provides the core logistical support making many operations possible.

O thought for sure our house was going to pull apart during Loma Prieta. Looking into the corner of the living room, the walls appeared to scissor out and then back, repeatedly. Moving to the front door to stand braced in the doorway, had to stick out a foot to keep the heavy door from slamming on me as I watched the road outside undulate like a heavy ocean swell. Never saw that before and would prefer not to again; I actually felt seasick from the rolling ground motion. Yep, that was the first time I was ever scared in an earthquake; normally I get excited because I'm quite the geology fan.

O.M.G. what a mess! You see... BayFair had recently received extra shipments/stock of china and crystal wares, for the upcoming Christmas season. As a lover of fancy dishes and glassware, I was immensely saddened! Lennox, Noritake, Mikasa, Lladro, Gorham, and so many more... all the beauties... dashed to bits and scooped up with shovels!

@jim (in Kalifornia) we had a shallow earthquake here in December 2024, where the epicenter was about 1 mile off Ocean Beach here in SF. A tsunami warning was called, as it was during a King tide phase and a surge was predicted. Hubs grabbed the bug out bags, packed the emergency camping gear and shut down/pulled our NAS before coming to collect me across town. By the time he got to me, the warning was called off, with no issues. I was kinda cheesed, but glad at the same time.

They felt the quake in Bogotá Posted by: Kindltot The one issue with seismic engineering is if you design for a 7.2, and only a 7.2 for economy, and get a 7.5, then they all get flattened. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at June 25, 2026 01:19 AM (/lPRQ) It's about structural resonances, building quality, and building foundation. Mexico City, 1985, more than 10K died from a quake hundreds of miles away near Acapulco. Why? Foundation. The city was built upon a dried lake bed, so when the quake hit, the entire area continued to shake like a bowl of jello, making the shaking worse and longer lasting. LA is not in very good shape for a large on on the Southern San Andreas...I've seen the simulations and they aren't pretty. Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 25, 2026 01:23 AM (l3cgK) 324
In the early part of the war against Sadam (the real part) we asked/invited qualified (compatible systems) to participate. Poland sent divers who did yeoman's work on oil platforms and surprising to me Ecuador sent four (that's all they had, compatible) to participate.

I've been through a few quakes! Last one I remember was the Easter one. Rumble-rumble, shakety-shake, we all stepped out of the house to avoid collapsing beams or whatever the quake might do. I was in another late-night quake where it was just me and the dog in the house. I called her but she wouldn't come. I was afraid something had fallen on her, but she shuffled out of somewhere and shuffled back. Never noticed a thing. And speaking of Venezuela, I wonder how our friends the Maduros are faring.

🌪️We're used to twisters here in Oklahoma. I've been as close as two blocks from a serious one. Yes, sounded like a freight train going over the house. Serious damage in the area, one death.
Earthquakes in recent years have been a surprise. The bedrock we sit on means the long waves travel harder, farther. That's why that 1800s Madrid quake rang church bells in Philly. If it happened today, the lake shore land in Chicago would liquify and lots of buildings would be ruined. 🪇I've felt three quakes. That five-point-something several years ago was centered hundreds of miles away and shook our concrete house. Sounded like a semi was parked out front. I jumped out of bed to see what was going on before I realized what it was. A friend's house in Tulsa had to be re-set on its foundation. For a mere 5.x. Something my dear late grandmother in California would have slept through. https://youtu.be/6913KnbMpHM G'nite, you hardy folk.💤 Posted by: mindful webworker - I feel the walls come a tumblin down at June 25, 2026 01:30 AM (Is2cY) 330

The folks who lived in Santa Clarita told me what it was like. Early in the morning, and they were awakened by violent shaking. She got literally thrown out of the bed onto the floor, onto her hands and knees, and bounced up and down. She said it was like being a cracker in a box that someone was violently shaking. The cats disappeared for a few days before they ventured out from wherever they'd hunkered down. Everything fragile broken, including some china pieces I'd asked for a few years before.

In a quake in 1987, I was awakened by our cockatiel bouncing around his cage in a panic...then the ground started shaking. It was shaking so intensely that I could hardly walk, and was able to get to a door frame (which was moving in and out by a about 4" with each shake). Poor Dad; he was in the bathroom at the time...when it was done, only the sound of water from the broken pipes on the water heater...

The only time I ever felt an earth quake was in jersey, maybe 7-10 years ago. The center was a few states south, but we felt it. I was sitting at the computer and it felt like my chair was getting ready to break. It just had a weird left to right wobble all of a sudden. Then I heard a rumble and saw the glass in the slider that went out to the patio starting to shake a little bit. Then it hit me, damn its an actual earth quake. It was nothing big, but the first thing I thought of was holy shit, a big earthquake must be frigging brutal.

I didn't pull out of the parking lot until a few moments after shaking stopped & went straight home.

I don't get alerts on my phone. I prefer it that way. There are roughly two kinds of quakes (that I've felt). First is the sharp, quick "BANG". Over before you know it. Then there's the kind that begins with a rumble and it can get loud. When you've been in a few, later you get to a point (hyperawareness) where you wonder if it will keep going. It's really about a second but your brain is processing really fast, and then it ends.

Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal at June 25, 2026 02:33 AM (DZ9Lv) 2010 Easter quake was a 7.2 that lasted for 90 seconds...Yes, we wondered when it would end. I knew it was a big one given how long it lasted (which is a pretty good metric; the longer it lasts, the longer length of a fault has ripped, the bigger the released energy). YMMV, depending on the type of quake (thrust vs strike-slip), type of material the quake's going through (West coast is broken plate, so seismisms lose strength over distance faster than east coast, with a more continuous plate), and distance from the hypocenter of the quake (deep quakes vs shallow ones).

I'd just gotten home from work when the Loma Prieta hit. Nobody else was home (except my old cat, who slept through it) and all was pretty quiet, except for this rumble in the distance. Freeways all around us, so I paid no mind until-- it kept getting louder, and louder...
Ba-boom boom, like a freight train way in the distance, ba-boom BOOM, BABOOMBOOM!!! And wham! the whole building jumped, as if it was on a towel that was getting snapped in the breeze. Creak and groan from the walls and ceiling, and stuff shaking/rattling off the shelves in living room. And then the power went out. It was still daylight, no not a huge deal. Had a battery operated radio, so tuned in & heard about the freeway collapse. Ugh. MIL drove that frequently, so was worried she may have been squished. She was OK, though.

During the evacuation for the Paradise Fire my wife's adopt in-laws from Berry Creek evacuated to my house. This is the mom of the family that adopted her and her husband.
At the same time I had the birth in-laws from over the pond here too. Their "Holiday". Long story. I had two MiL's trying to out mil each other for two weeks. 5 dogs. 3 cats. 6 of us in a 1700 sqft house. MiL's arguing over what and who is going to do dinner. I couldn't work enough. I thought everybody was going to kill each other. I was close. Now they all look back on it with some weird nostalgia. Then the next year MiL in Cali lost the whole shebang in the camp fire.

We've got a few fires around the area already. Most are contained, or nearly so. Rain expected over the weekend, so that will help.

375 When in Afghanistan, I was working in an office and an LT from CA was right across from me doing work of his own. Then an earthquake hit. At the same time we yelled to the others “Earthquake!”
We took cover until we realized it was a very short one. He wondered where I got my earthquake sense from. “Three years at Elmendorf”. I might be a TX native, but I learned a lot about earthquakes in AK. Posted by: Cow Demon at June 25, 2026 03:11 AM (pKv0r) I guess it is a little bit silly, but until the quake goes on for at least a full minute, I can't be bothered to "duck and cover." The one in 1964 lasted over five minutes. That was a beast. The one a few years ago, I think it ended up at 7.3 or so, went on for over a minute, so yeah, lights went out, got under the desk, all that jazz. But most earthquakes are over by the time you realize they are happening. Not really worth worrying about. Posted by: tcn in AK at June 25, 2026 04:01 AM (bl07w) 399

JQ, I'm reminded of a relative of mine from my Dad's side...married for years to his first wife in Illinois, then decided to marry another woman in Kentucky a decade later while still married to wife #1, claiming he was divorced (I guess to explain having to go back to Illinois--to see the kids). Fast forward a decade, and wife #1 divorces him for "cruelty" (ironically, headline talks about a man getting a divorce because of bigamy...but it wasn't about him). Wife #2 marries another man 2 months later. Fast forward a couple of months, and he marries a 3rd time in Oakland, CA, claiming to be a widow. A year later, another divorce. 4th wife he meets near LA, marries in Las Vegas less than a decade after marriage #3. Dunno how or when that ended, but he eventually up overdosing on sleeping pills in a motel room in Florida at the age of 60.

When I was a little girl, we had a Mallard drake and a dog who were best friends. They chased each other around the yard. Then one day, the duck flew away and the dog disappeared soon after. My uncle was the dog catcher in my little hometown, though, and he found me the best dog, a beagle my mom named Sam. Once, when I was home alone, someone opened the screen door. She chased him out of the yard and climbed the fence right on his ass, baying all the way. She knew all my secrets and never told a soul. Everyone should know the love of a good dog.

It sucks being a famous detective because you never really get a break. You go on a cruise to get away from it all and someone dies under mysterious circumstances. You go out to the country to celebrate Christmas and your host keels over and has his prize gems stolen. You go down to the corner store to get a newspaper and three people are dead in your neighborhood before you get home. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 24, 2026 08:00 PM (gnNyN) 67

We were in Terrebonne OR for the 2017 total solar eclipse and I've seen some amazing photos of a rock climber silhouetted against the eclipse; apparently they started climbing several hours beforehand just so they'd be in the right spot for that brief, minute-and-a-half interval.

145 We had a rare action crime drama incident here in Happy Valley the other. There was a dispute at the Dairy Queen, I heard it was over a soft drink, which resulted in a stabbing. A police chase ensued resulting in a multi vehicle pile up followed by police shooting resulting in the stabber's death. And now the punchline. Stabber was a M to F tranny.

The pet squirrel is so cute, rat or not.
Like Ace and the crows, I've tried to get the local squirrels to be sweet and entertaining for peanuts. Two (one an unusual black vs the usual gray) went from cute begging to jumping at the doors, clinging onto the screens and demanding. Seems there's competition between them for the peanuts and it's quickly gotten out of hand. And it's also really dumb to feed urban squirrels.

End WokenessThe loathsome Dan Goldman lost his bid for reelection in NYC's 10th Congressional district to -- get this -- an anti-Jewish communist. Greg PriceAlso losing last night: Jack "Kennedy" Schlossberg, who I would call a nepo baby but don't you need an actual job to be a nepo baby? All this fag does is troll people online and appear on leftwing chat shows to embarrass his family. He's like an even less-accomplished Ron Reagan Jr. Washington Free BeaconMore from Andrew Styles: Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday. Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old Kennedy scion who has never worked a real job, was handily defeated in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District, sitting in third place with less than 11 percent of the vote. George Conway, the mentally disturbed Lincoln Project cofounder and frequent guest on The Jim Acosta Show, sat in fifth, trailing not just Schlossberg but also a woman named Nina Schwalbe. Schlossberg's defeat is worth celebrating for several reasons. The Kennedy family is a toxic cabal of bloated, boat-shoed sex pests and trust-fund layabouts still living off the fortune amassed by Joseph P. Kennedy, the wealthy patriarch best known for his efforts to make peace with Adolf Hitler. Tuesday's outcome suggests the family's once-mythic reputation is in the midst of a long-overdue correction. John F. Kennedy, Schlossberg's grandfather, was the Eric Swalwell of the White House, while his great uncle Ted Kennedy was the Eric Swalwell of the U.S. Senate, a reputation he cemented in 1985 by making a "waitress sandwich" with Chris Dodd at a local fine-dining establishment. To be fair to Swalwell, there's no evidence (that we know of) to suggest he's ever fled the scene of an accident after a woman drowned in his car. Ted Kennedy, on the other hand, continued to serve in public office until 2009, more than 40 years after Mary Jo Kopechne's death. Days before the election, Schlossberg told the Wall Street Journal he would view his loss in the primary as proof that our political system is irrevocably broken. "If I can't do it, then nobody can," he said. Indeed, if a 33-year-old Kennedy brat with four trust funds and what the New York Times described as "little traditional work experience" can lose a primary in one of the country's wealthiest congressional districts despite being endorsed by David Letterman and spending $1 million of his own inheritance, the American Dream is truly dead. And of course ultra-cuck George Conway: ShipwreckedcrewIf Conway had won or come close, at least some Never Trumpers might have made it official and tried grifting as Democrats. But now that it's proven that no one likes a traitor, the NeverTrumpers will have no choice but continuing their grift of pretending to be "Republicans." Here's what USAID money was actually paying for: Catherine HerridgeA San Francisco socialist politician took a three month "mental health leave" because she just can't even right now. Here's a short video of this lefty basketcase. One of the many rioters in NYC after the Knicks' win dumped and then stole a trash can. Turns out she is -- or was -- a DEI executive at JP Morgan. A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City's Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned. Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile. ... Sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told The Post, "This employee is no longer with the company." Báez could not be reached by The Post for comment Tuesday. Sources noted she had attended the parade in her personal capacity.I hate rioters, but I also understand that people with low IQ and poor impulse control can get "swept up" in them. I wouldn't be gleeful about her being fired except for the fact that, let's face it, she never should have had a job in the first place. So nothing lost.

I'm still surprised that was only one video for Metcalf's murder, and it was from a far-away surveillance camera. It was an event with bored teenagers (the rain delay) who film every aspect of their lives. I know there's rumors of more videos on black TikTok, but I view that medium as worse than a game of Telephone.

Posted by: Don Black at June 24, 2026 06:31 PM (chHRK) The potential black jurors admitted that they could not be impartial.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 24, 2026 06:46 PM (0N4FZ) This is how the lawyer totally fucked up the defense: Karmello said in the first minutes, "well he's still alive". He thought he had stabbed him, didn't think he had killed him. Significance - this opens up the possibility of a manslaughter plea. He had no intent to kill, it just happened, that's often the case with manslaughter. A plea under manslaughter could have gotten a sentence of 10 years, parole after 5 for good behavior. Karmello could still have had most of his 20's as a free man. This attorney blew that off. Karmello got 35 years due to the attorney's self serving incompetence. "Tough luck, Kid!"

A lot of people are unaware of how Joe Kennedy built the family fortune. They know that he bootlegged Irish Whiskey into the US during the depression; what they don't know is that he paid for it by sending cargo ships full of tommy guns, rifles, and other small arms to the IRA in Ireland; in return they would fill his ships with all the Irish Whiskey they could carry for the return trip. Churchill knew this, which is why he hated Kennedy. Churchill knew that he was personally responsible for the murders of hundreds of British officials and servicemen in Ireland.

The bonehead Knicks fan who went viral for stealing a team-theme city trash can has returned the stolen goods — and was slapped with $175 in fines for the dirty deed. “Home sweet home,” the sanitation department wrote on X next to a pic of the returned basket. “Welcome back! We missed you!” The orange and blue receptacle was pilfered after an “incredibly stupid” fan – identified by sources as recently-axed JPMorgan Chase exec Angie Baez – dumped the trash onto Broadway and walked off with the city-owned receptacle, department officials told The Post.

I asked about this and it was a slapping down of district judges issuing injunctions that blocked a federal policy from taking affect anywhere in the country. Something like that.
This seems a little different -- more targeted at Trump's executive power -- but IANAL. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at June 24, 2026 07:02 PM (XJ22o) The trouble is that SCOTUS has no discipline authority over the lower judges. So the district judges can just ignore rulings. They know they won't stand but it delays things and they'll never pay a price for their actions because Dem Senators will never vote to remove them.

Posted by: WarEagle82 at June 24, 2026 09:58 PM (YcfMX) Texas, DOJ Sign Joint Decree Declaring Biden's Prior "Backdoor Amnesty" to be Illegal and VoidYou of course know of the Democrats' favorite strategy of sue-and-settle, whereby a friendly third party is invited to sue the Democrat government. The Democrat government gives up the case and agrees to a "consent decree" resolving the issue -- and this resolution has the force of law, despite no legislature having ever voted for it. Well, two can play at that game. Steven Miller's organization America First Legal joined with Texas to sue the DOJ over a Biden-era policy allowing immigration judges to put immigration cases on "administrative pause," forever. Biden allowed judges who would otherwise be required to deport illegal aliens to instead "pause" the case against them, effectively granting them amnesty (and even the "right to work"). Technically, they're still illegal aliens in the middle of deportation proceedings but the reality is that those proceedings are now "paused," forever. So every illegal alien getting his deportation "paused" is effectively granted backdoor amnesty that Congress never even contemplated, let alone voted to make law. Texas and Steven Miller sued the DOJ over this blatant end-run around the actual law of the land and the DOJ said "Fair" and signed a consent decree admitting this was always illegal and now is forbidden.Judge blocks Biden-era immigration rule hours after Texas AG and Stephen Miller's group sued DOJBefore this lawless action by Biden, 130,000 cases were paused. After Biden gave his leftwing immigration judges permission to dole out personalized amnesty, the number of "paused" cases "skyrocketed" (as the judgment says) to 1.08 million. And then, a year later, it doubled again to 2.2 million.

I think the ‘pause’ rule was even worse than it looked. Which cases do you think were paused? I’ll bet anything it was the dead-bang losers for the illegal. Lefty judges knew they couldn’t rule that this criminal illegal with three rape convictions could stay in the country, so they put the case on pause.

I believe the whole trick of consent decrees is that you have to get them reversed by the same judge, or at least the same district court. So in Trump I there was some dumb decree about illegals who were minors that Clinton had agreed to in a CA district, and from the early 1980s until earlier this decade a consent decree in NJ stopped Republicans NATIONWIDE having any kind of surveillance at polling places.
And the federal courts in TX are very, very right leaning. It and states like it are a rare example of the blue slip policy working in our favor. Posted by: the lower depths at June 24, 2026 05:31 PM (yZOfl) 29

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at June 24, 2026 05:30 PM (ExV1e) Well at a certain point people have to enforce laws themselves if no one else will. For example, an illegal immigrant has literally no rights whatsoever. There are animals that are protected species by law who have more rights. People in a previous thread noted that the 14th Amendment might not have been constitutionally ratified. Well, the Radical Republicans just did it and no one stopped them.

Trump pushing to bounds of power has really emboldened them. If they have enough power they'll pack the supreme court, do away with the electoral college, make American Samoa, Guam, and Puerto Rico US states and do anything they can to stay in power. They will not back down now. This is all plausible at this point. Even passing a law for foreign born politicians to be President. It's all on the table now.
Posted by: Frank Barone at June 24, 2026 05:32 PM (OkYzo) Sure, but that was always the case. When was the last time Democrats had respect for norms? Grover Cleveland? But more importantly, what's the point of going over it. Just say that Democrats are evil, talk about the evils they've done and intend to continue doing, and act/advise accordingly.

The defendants allegedly operated a voicemail refill line that allowed patients to request and receive refills of Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions--though some patients who used the refill line to obtain Schedule II controlled substances from the defendants suffered drug overdoses and died, the defendants continued to operate the refill line to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances without interacting with patients.

The nice things about these sorts of cases is that the arrests lead to more arrests, since this sort of fraud (especially the ethnic varieties) is rarely a solitary venture. So you get suspects ratting other people out for a reduced sentence. The effect is exponential, much like the original fraud.

I was targeted by medical fraud attempt last week.
I notified Medicare. Medicare told me that the company trying to bill my insurance for medical devices that I did not need and never received was on their radar as a bad company.

Act Blue takes bulk funding and then redistributes it to unknowing donators at an amount low enough not to require scrutiny. Now, the fraud aspect of their fundraising is under the microscope, so the DNC has lost it's major finance (the US Taxpayer)...and can't shovel money to their regular candidates like in the past.

Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters. Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure.

Wow. $14,285,714.29 each.
"Fake wound graft treatments were a big source of fraud." Inside a Kensington wound care clinic Xylazine, which was never approved for human use, has wreaked havoc in Kensington. Amputations among opioid users have more than doubled. (Philadelphia Inquirer, LA Times) Because many individuals in this community are experiencing homelessness or face stigma, they frequently avoid traditional emergency rooms. Grassroots, non-profit organizations provide vital street-level harm reduction, cleaning, and dressing to prevent infections from requiring surgical grafts or amputations. (Don't reduce Medicaid warn the harm reduction clinics and vans.) Federal prosecutors have cracked down on massive healthcare fraud networks billing Medicare for medically unnecessary or outright fake skin substitute treatments. Bad-actor clinics and marketers target vulnerable populations to apply overpriced amniotic or bio-engineered skin substitutes to minor wounds, often billing the government tens of thousands of dollars per procedure. (Arnold & Porter) Medicare Advantage Plans? Probably. Nothing in those clinics and on the streets can be adequately tracked.

It's amazing how much Democrats have cost this country, not just in terms of enabling fraud and siphoning off money to their cronies, but more broadly in terms of stifling growth, regulating business to death, and dick-in-ass relationships with massive corporate interests for regulatory capture and enforcing actual oligopolies and oligopsonies. Republicans aren't innocent either, but it's truly breathtaking to see how much deliberate damage has been wrought by a relative handful of powerful people.

Charles Dickens wrote something to the effect that the worthiness of a society can be gauged by how well it takes care of its least fortunate. Of course in those days, charity was largely private. Government money spent on the "less fortunate" seems to lead inevitably to corruption and fraud. Even if it were well-intentioned when it started, it evolves into this disaster. It should be extremely difficult to defraud the system, but all these morons are showing it's easy. Looks like that easiness is built in, on purpose.

ABC "News" is pissy, of course, because the Democrat way is to fill the bureaucracies with stone-cold Democrat/progressive partisans who shape the country's policies even when a Republican is nominally the president.Trump's acting director of national intelligence begins firings at agency, sources sayI don't know if the office really needs to be downsized. But I think it's easier just to say "we need to downsize" and then to fire all of the Obama hacks. And then later, maybe, decide "Oh we need a few more people, we're going to hire some more people." Obama never held a real job before he became a state senator and the left insisted to us that he had all the experience he needed to be president. Oh, John Brennan's old unit? ... Trump, for his part, has made clear he wants Pulte to slash jobs at the agency. Trump said earlier this month the size of ODNI has been "way too high for way too long" and told reporters he wouldn't mind it if cuts were made. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, Trump also said he wanted Pulte to "start the process" of firing ODNI personnel and cited his role as acting director as "less shackled," according to the paper.John Thune knows better than to poke the bear again and supports the firings: Semi-related:

One thing I want to mention as someone who has been in public school teaching for over 20 years (happily un-unionized) is how lazy Democratic bureaucrats are. Most of you just see their handi-work when it goes viral (e.g. crazy teacher has an unhinged rant that a student films). However, with very few exception most of these careerist types phone everything in. They steal their curriculum materials from other teachers or just copy whatever is in the teacher's manual from their textbook. They can't answer questions because they don't understand the material. Sure, some of them get students to repeat nonsense back to them, but it's akin to that British teacher and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" getting kids to mindlessly recite the definition of an acre.
Another side to this laziness is that if you disrupt most of these people they will just slither away. Sure, they'll file a lawsuit if Soros Inc. does everything, but otherwise everything is just too much work. When my principal took over in 2013 he started bullying teachers to purge them in some kind of weird power play. Each teacher just gave up and left for another district until he came after me.

Remember the first guy they went after was GEN Flynn. That wasn’t an accident. Tulsi was able to vacuum up a lot of intelligence information they were hiding- along with who was hiding it. She let the zombies rise up. Now Pulte is using a flame thrower on those zombies. It makes perfect sense.

Communists are all about envy. They want what others have, but they are not willing to work to get it.
Fags, likewise, are all about envy. They want the respect that heterosexuals get for being normal, but they aren't willing to stop being fags to get it. Transsexuals are all about envy. They don't want to be women, or men, or whatever they are, because they just don't seem to fit in as that person, but they have no idea what being the opposite sex really entails, so they become a stereotype, and eventually it drives them completely mad. Feminists are all about envy. They want to be big, tough, ruthless, predacious men, which they believe men are even if men are not, but they aren't able to become that so they become bitchy, ugly and obnoxious instead. Here's a thought. God created you just as you are, and then you decided to warp that to become something you aren't. Maybe the problem is not with society, but with you.

>> It's more likely than not that they rule against Trump on that one, but they might also say that Congress can legislate the details of "subject to the jurisdiction", but not the Executive.
Federal immigration law is pretty clear on who is and isn’t a citizen. If someone’s parents are not citizens and they just happen to drop a child here only some complete obfuscation of the law would judge that child a citizen. There are volumes of law defining the process to become a citizen. If Congress intended illegal immigrant children to automatically become citizens it would also be there. This examination process that deduces because it is not there, ergo Congress needs to write it in, as opposed to- if they wanted it they would have written it in is not just contra intellectual, it is contrary to how the Framers intended the constitution to work. It is a liberal thought process that has poisoned the well of liberty. Posted by: Vengeance at June 24, 2026 03:19 PM (kIFVO) 155

Kelsey Grammer on Jess Watters last night. As opposed to Billy Crystal who opened the Hollywood Bowl summer season by getting cheers for mentioning Trump's name has been taken down at the Kennedy Center:
--------------------------------------------- 'There is a virus that has infected a very small number of people, I think, who just want to tear things down. They've been consumed by hatred. 'Of course, hatred ends up basically destroying you. They're welcome to it. I pray for them. I pray for everyone to find decent sentiment in their hearts about this country and about the people who run it these days and about those who love it, because it's worth loving.' After Watters claimed that tourists visiting the United States for the World Cup respected the country more than Americans do, Grammer said, 'It's great that we're given this chance to see it in the eyes of so many of our European fellows and South American fellows. This whole idea about many, we are one, it is one of the greatest things in the world. 'It's by definition a diverse nation, but we have a unifying concept that everybody's worth reaching for the moon. And America will help you do it.'

Having read a lot of SCOTUS decisions over the years (but not nearly as many as whig), my guess is either: 1. A majority decision that rules on process without even getting to the actual text of the 14th Amendment. [a procedural punt] 2. Or a plurality decision that does address the 14th Amendment in some way, but with a plethora of partial concurrence/partial dissents and a "majority" opinion that has various parts with more or less binding nature. In other words, headlines will treat the ruling as some sort of definitive Dredd Scott ruling, but it will probably be a mess that does not solve the issue at all, and probably isn't intended to.

There is no punting the question before the court is thus: Does the fourteenth Amendment guarantee citizenship to all persons born in the United States, regardless of immigration status?

garrett, I've heard arguments A14 wasn't properly added to the Constitution on account several of the Southern states at the time were under occupation with questionable claims to the "republican government" demanded of legal State status.
A13 had got added with less fuss. The North swept their ratifications and Reconstruction hadn't quite devolved into the mess it devolved into, at that time (and a lot of the South was kinda sick of slavery too). Posted by: gKWVE at June 24, 2026 03:27 PM (gKWVE) 179

How do you ignore volumes of immigration law to posit- gee, Congresses intent is not clear. lol. Irrespective of the liberal jurisprudence on the issue, the question is now formulated in a way that gets to the central issue. This court has been big on history and tradition to show true intent. So where will they find that granting a child of illegal aliens is rooted? The only place they will find any connection is in the courts own pronouncements over the years which never really answered the question before the court.

Acting Director of NI removed dozens of career officials & fired political appointees. Many 'staff' were reverted to home agencies without clear reassignment paths.
Federal lawsuit, DOE 1 v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (1:25-cv-00300), was filed on February 17, 2025, by a group of 'nonpartisan,' career civil servants working in national security roles within the CIA & ODNI. The case serves as a crucial legal battle ground regarding the Trump's administration's mass downsizing of the intelligence community following EO 14152, mandating the termination of federal diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives. March 2025, a US District Judge issued a mixed ruling. He granted a preliminary injunction that barred the administration from terminating the plaintiffs without court approval. The order also forced the ODNI and CIA to allow employees to appeal any termination decisions and mandated that the agencies consider them for open position outside of restricted "competitive areas." The gov fought back, proceedings stayed, and oral arguments heard Dec. 2025. The case is ongoing, awaiting final ruling by the 4th Circuit panel.

Presidential Actions
Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing The White House, January 20, 2025 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military. This was a concerted effort stemming from President Biden’s first day in office, when he issued Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.” Pursuant to Executive Order 13985 and follow-on orders, nearly every Federal agency and entity submitted “Equity Action Plans” to detail the ways that they have furthered DEIs infiltration of the Federal Government. The public release of these plans demonstrated immense public waste and shameful discrimination. That ends today. Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect, ... much more. Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 24, 2026 03:44 PM (NFX2v) 262

I forgot about this - and didn't realize 7 GOPer's saved her from censure, nice......
LaMonica McIver, now 40, and pregnant with her second child, is set to appear in federal court on charges that she did 'forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with' a federal law enforcement agent who was carrying out his duties, per her indictment last year. McIver, who also currently has a 9-year-old daughter, could face as long as 17 years if convicted. During a visit she conducted with fellow lawmakers at New Jersey's Delaney Hall immigration facility last May, McIver was caught on video in a clash with law enforcement officials. She has asked for the charges to be dismissed, and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding, and interfering with federal officials related to actions in the ICE facility skirmish. She was also saved from a career-shaming embarrassment by seven of her Republican colleagues, who decided not to censure her in the House of Representatives after she was charged the previous year. 'If House Republicans think they can make me run scared, they're wrong,' McIver noted in a statement issued before the vote. Posted by: beckster at June 24, 2026 03:49 PM (kX27y) 281

Off topic but keep an eye out for the new quarters about to be issued celebrating the Declaration of Independence. Just 250,000 of them will have a "July 4" stamp on the front and will be highly sought after by collectors. Some estimate that they may fetch $50-$100.

Posted by: Guy in Texas at June 24, 2026 05:30 PM (kdKw8) Fourth Circuit Overturns Lowly District Court Judge, Okays Trump's Expedited DeportationsCongress passed a bill authorizing expedited deportation -- which could take as little as a few days. They called this, "expedited deportations." I am stressing it's called "expedited deportations" because the Hawaiian judges who keep blocking Trump from doing this seem to think that Trump is breaking the law by attempting to use expedited deportations to deport illegal aliens in an expeditious manner. They think it should take years upon years until the feds just give up and let the illegal alien stay forever. The Fourth Circuit considered the dispute. They looked at the part of the law that says "expedited deportations" andreasoned that the law must mean that illegal aliens can be deported expeditiously. Federal court allows ICE to expand expedited deportations nationwideCongress left it to the Executive to determine how broadly to apply the power. Leftists have been suing for years claiming that because previous presidents -- Biden and Obama --did not choose to use the power to its maximum effect, that means Trump isn't allowed to either. And Hawaiian judges agreed. But now they've been overruled. In August 2025, a federal judge found the Trump administration's expansion of expedited removal violated due process rights, following a lawsuit from immigrant advocacy group Make the Road New York. The panel of appellate judges disagreed Tuesday, invalidating her order. The two appellate judges in the majority -- Trump-appointed Justin Walker and Neomi Rao -- found the policy offers sufficient due process protections. "Make the Road has not shown that the expedited-removal process denies its members notice and an opportunity to be heard," they wrote.The law stupidly includes a provision that an illegal who can show that he's been living in America, illegally or legally (and it will be illegally, of course) for two years is not subject to this expedited form of deportation. Leftists made up a new part of the law that would read, if it existed, that Trump is required to inform each deportee of this fact so they can begin scrambling to make up a fake timeline showing their continuous presence in the US. Held: Cops and judges do not have to write illegal aliens' defense motions for them. Last August, a lower court judge called the government's procedures for ensuring people aren't accidentally subjected to expedited removal "woefully inadequate," writing that migrants were not even informed of the fact that being in the country for at least two years is a possible defense. On Tuesday, the appellate court pushed back, finding that standard "would require immigration officers to provide what amounts to legal advice." Obama-appointed Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins dissented from the core of the ruling, arguing the policy deprives people of due process rights. In part, he wrote that the policy doesn't require immigration officials to ask migrants how long they have been in the country, or inform them of the two-year rule.

A remake won’t work. Many of Rockford’s little tricks (portable card maker in car, talking receptionist into letting him into office to rifle through files, tricking people with calls made from pay phones etc etc) don’t make sense in the age of smart phone and internet. Modern Rockford will need some mad hacking skills and it’ll be boring watching him sit at a computer console hacking someone’s email….

Never a dull moment -
President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled the signing of a bipartisan housing affordability bill today, putting the fate of the legislation into limbo, as punishment for unruly Republicans. Trump took to his Truth Social account with the news just hours before the planned signing, saying he refuses to green–light the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act – an election measure he has been pushing hard during his second term. 'Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,' he posted.

Doesnt mean it hasnt happened, but someone staying here even 30 days owing $30,000, you'd think that wipes out most of these people pretty quickly. Start garnishing paychecks, etc. Seizing property, etc. Just like the IRS does if you make a mistake on your taxes.

Trump got MI by about 80K ... out of roughly 5.5 million. Interesting, in all these states ... because turnout was "up" by a ton. Which just means they printed more fake ballots.

The problem with calling something "socialist" as an epithet is that it doesn't *sound* like a bad thing to a lot of people. Not that they would like what it stands for (to some people) but the word itself is fairly soft -- "sohshull" -- and, gee, most people like being social, right? Remember college when you were drinking and someone called out "SOCIAL!" and everyone took a chug of beer? Good times! Contrast with "communist", a much harsher-sounding word.

A communiqué from David Hogg, Harvard graduate:
"Last night was a big one, friend. The vibes were immaculate, we remain undefeated in state legislatures, and we’ve officially taken home 21 wins so far this cycle. Leaders We Deserve-endorsed candidates went up against the establishment and won. Loyalty to corporate cash and the elite sealed their opponents’ fate — voters knew who they’d be answering to. They’re done with politicians that talk about fighting for working people while quietly cashing checks from the very special interests making life harder. The winning blueprint is right here, and it’s not complicated. You don’t need a corporate warchest to win — you need conviction, moral courage, community roots, and the audacity to actually fight for a future worth believing in. These leaders put the issues young voters care about front and center, and gave them a real reason to hope. The momentum we’re seeing right now is proof that this movement has the juice to win anywhere and build a Democratic Party that actually answers to working people and fights back against MAGA extremism."

Just because it started in blue areas doesn't mean it will stay in blue areas. The Vegan Cowboy is in Texas and he's on team socialism too. ------------------------------- Yeah, but Austin has been weird for a very long time. Someone moving to Austin probably is and will stay a lefty. Part of the attraction of stupid ideas like socialism (and transgender nonsense) is that they are promoted as societally worthy without pushback or rejoinder. Right-wingers should spend less time complaining that the people in some retarded blue hellhole are retarded and more time creating social bonds that make retarded viewpoints unacceptable in their areas. Just talking to neighbors and being friendly while not staying silent when they say something really dumb can help. Posted by: the lower depths at June 24, 2026 02:43 PM (yZOfl) 328

Muslim countries don't worry too much about 'due process.'
------------- A French-Algerian influencer has been jailed for one year after she posted a video criticising Moroccans while on holiday in the country. Yass Naubelle, 30, was intercepted by Moroccan border officials on June 13 and placed in police custody moments before she was set to board her flight home to France. The content creator published a viral video that heavily criticised local authorities and complained about local driving standards. While riding in the back of a taxi, she slammed her holiday experience in Marrakech, Morocco, hitting out at local law enforcement in the North African country. The video has since been deleted, but she reportedly said: 'I've never seen people drive like this. 'It's super dangerous – cars, mopeds without helmets, with children on board, swerving suddenly.'

OK, so a Fed Judge just blocked Trump's proof of citizenship order nationwide.
Question, who had standing to sue? Because the only way someone would have standing, would be if they were personally damaged by the order. So the only ones damaged would be non citizens, trying to vote... or maybe an American citizen who had no proof of citizenship? How did they find those defendants? Because without said defendants, there can be no lawsuit. Posted by: Romeo13 at June 24, 2026 02:45 PM (mP0Kj) 331

I'm not changing anything. No president has the authority to jail judges over a ruling he doesn't like. That's just a fact. Sure, Trump could ignore a judge.
